As money management developed over the last century, analysts began to shift their focus from the returns available from individual investments to the returns available from an entire portfolio. This approach became known as modern portfolio theory. Modern portfolio theory is based on the concept that investors are risk adverse. Through diversification of investments and asset classes, portfolios can be constructed with higher levels of expected return for each unit of risk assumed. Asset classes are divided into three main categories, stocks, bonds, and, cash and cash equivalents. Portfolio managers, through modern portfolio theory, can construct portfolios based on various allocations over the three main asset classes whose return will be the greatest given each unit of risk.Read more
An investment adviser charges a fee for his or her services for advising clients as to the value of securities or for making recommendations as to which securities should be purchased or sold. Unlike a broker dealer, the investment adviser has a contractual relationship with his or her clients and must always adhere to the highest standards of professional conduct.
In addition to the fees charged by an investment adviser, an investment adviser may also:Read more
Prior to conducting business in any state, a broker dealer must be properly registered or exempt from registration in that state. The first test when deciding if the broker dealer must register is determining if the firm has an office in the state. If the firm maintains an office within the state it must register with that state. An agent must register in their state of residence even if their firm is located in another state.
An agent who lives in New Jersey and who commutes to their office in New York must register in both New Jersey and New York.
The state securities administrator has the authority to enforce all of the provisions of the Uniform Securities Act (USA) within their state. The state securities administrator may deny, revoke, or suspend the registration of a security, an agent, or a firm. The administrator may also revoke an exemption from registration, subpoena and investigate any registrant, and amend rules as required. The North American Securities Administrators Association or NASAA is the oldest investor protection organization in the country and represents the interest of all of the state securities administrators. NASAA also writes policies and administers the series 63, 65, and 66 exams.Read more

165 Amy Morin Mentally Strong Parents
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:26:55 — 79.6MB) | Embed
Amy Morin is a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and a lecturer at Northeastern University. She's been dubbed the "self-help guru of the moment," by The Guardian and Forbes refers to her as a "thought leadership star."
You can still be mentally strong and have a mental illness, it's like working out to get strong while having diabetes, you still have diabetes. – Amy Morin
Three Things We Learned
- Don't be the helicopter parent
It can be tempting to make your life revolve around your child. But kids who think they're the center of the universe grow up to be self-absorbed and entitled. Mentally strong parents teach their kids to focus on what they have to offer the world — rather than what they're owed and it's ok to let your child make mistakes. Running to the rescue of forgotten soccer cleats or a gym bag isn't the parent's responsibility. Children need to realize there are consequences to their actions, good and bad.
- Workout your brain as you would your body
We could all easily could be diagnosed with something in our lives, some sort of disorder or a mental health issue. Statistics from the CDC say that 17% of us are functioning at optimal mental health at any given time. We look at people and say either you're mentally healthy or you're mentally ill instead of realizing there is a spectrum and we're all at different points in our lives at different points in that spectrum. You can build mental muscle and you can prevent some illnesses – you can't prevent it all – just like physical strength, working out is good for your body and working out is good for your mind, too.
- Discipline vs. Punishment
Today we hear a lot that we don't punish our kids enough. You have to realize the difference between discipline – encouraging our kids to want to do better versus punishment which is shaming our kids to do better. Parents post pics or videos of their kids behaving badly in an attempt to shame them into behaving better. Shaming most likely makes kids feel like losers versus kids that have healthy consequences can say 'yeah I've made some mistakes but my parents have taught me how to behave better'.
Amy's advice has been featured by a number of media outlets, including Parenting, Time, Fast Company, Good Housekeeping, Elle, Business Insider, Cosmopolitan, Success, Oprah.com, Health, Fox News, US News & World Report, and The Washington Post. She has also provided on-camera interviews for Fox Business, Forbes, TheBlaze TV and an upcoming documentary with Red Bull. She's a frequent guest on a variety of radio shows as well.
Amy serves as Verywell's Parenting Teens Expert and Child Discipline Expert. She's a regular contributor to Forbes, Inc., and Psychology Today.
A sought-after speaker, Amy loves to share the latest research on resilience and the best strategies for overcoming adversity and building mental muscle.

Silver Spring, MD Market Report – 4/28/10
Silver Spring is a suburb in the north side of Washington, D.C. in Montgomery County with both urban and suburban areas. Its borders go as far north as Burtonsville, south to the dividing line with the District of Columbia and west to Chevy Chase and Rockville. Silver Spring is serviced by the Red Line of the Metro system and the Silver Spring stop is the most used station in Maryland.
Much of what is selling in Silver Spring are the lower priced units. First time buyers and investors have had a huge impact on the market They see the price gains of those who bought over the previous 15 months and they realize that the down cycle in real estate has reversed and the next up cycle has begun. Increasing consumer confidence in the DC area, low interest rates, and warmer weather is feeding more urgency into the marketplace. Note the steady decrease in days on market.

- Homes for sale: 1,293 (up from 1,085 last month, and up a bit from 1,245 one year ago)
- Homes Sold: 188 (up from 121 last month, and up from 158 a year ago)

Anyone who really loves show business has a "come to Fosse" moment. You know you're a real convert to the choreographer and director when you come around on "All That Jazz," his bombastic meta-movie biography-musical. You've joined his cult when you come around on his last film, "Star 80," about slain porn star Dorothy Stratten. (I've yet to achieve that status.) But even if you don't dig Fosse – even if you don't consciously know Fosse – chances are good you've fallen under his influence. Born in 1927, his signature style didn't just indelibly stamp the world of dance. It redefined the packaging of sexuality and entertainment, blurring worlds that post-World War II parochialism had strenuously separated.
I first saw "All That Jazz," Bob Fosse's signature directorial effort – though not the one that one him an Academy Award – in its initial 1979 run, and was singularly unimpressed. Of course, I was age eight, and more impressed by "The Muppet Movie." Years later, I saw what I had missed. Buried in the film's dance sequences, its half-assembled spangled costumes and bare-bones Broadway backstages and editing rooms, was a winking homage to narcissism and its opposite, true communion. It was, and is, an amazing cacophony. But it is also bloated by his death wish – a courtship with his own demise that he materialized by casting Jessica Lange, one of his many girlfriends, in the role of Angelica, a literal angel of death.

Kuna men jailed after attempted meth sale to undercover officers
Jeffrey Davis and Nathan Gamble were booked into the Ada County Jail on meth trafficking charges. Davis is accused of trying to sell a pound of methamphetamine to detectives, and Gamble of showing up to collect the money, the Ada County Sheriff's Office reports.
Davis, 44, was arrested in a parking lot in the Maple Grove/Overland roads neighborhood just before 6 p.m. Wednesday, shortly after he showed up for a pre-arranged sale, according to an ACSO news release Thursday. Detectives found 589 grams of meth inside Davis' car, along with a loaded semi-automatic pistol and $1,200 in cash, the sheriff's office reports.
Gamble, 39, was arrested several hours later in a parking lot near Emerald Street and Cole Road intersection — at a place where he allegedly was supposed to meet Davis and pick up the money, ACSO reports. Detectives found an additional 48 grams of meth and $1,200 inside Gamble's car.

We would add that Congress is frequently in the same boat. At least their intent is good...sometimes.
Representative Linda Sanchez [CA-39] has introduced a resolution on the floor of the House to create a Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day. The intent, of course, is to honor all Vietnam Veterans. And there is where we come to the sticking point.
It used to be that if you received the Vietnam Service Medal, then you were a "Vietnam Veteran." Now, however, we who served on ships afloat in the South China Sea and Tonkin Gulf, along with Air Force personnel who overflew the Republic of South Vietnam on many different types of missions, nearly all combat, or combat support, and those who served in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, despite our Medal awards, have essentially been reclassifed by the Department of Veterans Affairs as "Vietnam Era Veterans."
If Vietnam Veterans allow this day to go into effect, tens of thousands of us who have been told our fight in the Vietnam War doesn't count will not be so honored because the DVA says we are NOT "Vietnam Veterans", but rather "Vietnam Era Veterans." Representative Sanchez and the 63 members of Congress who have co-sponsored her resolution [HRes 234] intend that we all be included. But Congress is too complicit in allowing 18 years to pass with the DVA hijacking the Agent Orange Act of 1991 without lifting a finger to stop them. So much for Congressional oversight.
We who are in limbo, however, feel differently. We have yet to be welcomed home. Our treatment at the hands of the DVA has been maliciously reprehensible, and probably criminally malfeasant and negligent. An oblivious Congress has allowed the DVA to hijack the Agent Orange Act of 1991 right from the start, 18 years ago. They have hijacked it, not with science, for there is no science to back what they have done, but with legalese. They have used legal mumbo-jumbo to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Vietnam Veterans from the benefits that Congress intended for them, and in so doing, moved them from the category of "Vietnam Veterans," to the category of "Vietnam Era Veterans".
Consider, Blue Water Sailors have been denied their Agent Orange Benefits with the words, "You did not serve in Vietnam." That phrase means we are not "Vietnam Veterans". It means we are Vietnam Era Veterans, just the same as any Army guy who spent the war years in Germany, or Air Force guy who spent the war years in Spain, or the Navy guys who were on Atlantic Fleet ships that were never deployed to Vietnam.
We were there. Many of us were on ships that provide the Army, Marines, Air Force, and our allies in the South Vietnamese military with gunfire support from just off the beaches of Vietnam. Others served on ships that launched sortie after sortie of bombing and strafing missions over both North and South Vietnam.
But despite evidence to the contrary, the Department of Veterans Affairs ASSERTS that Agent Orange stopped at the beach, and never went any farther, and never drifted through the skies, or if it did, it never crossed the coastline. Such "science" boggles the mind.
The members of VASVW have agreed to submit to their respective Congressional Representatives, the following resolution:
Whereas the government of the United States has declared through the Department of Veterans Affairs, that Veterans who served only in the waters off shore, the airspace above, and in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War are NOT Vietnam Veterans, but Vietnam Era Veterans, andCongress wants us to feel welcome? Sorry, no can do.
Wheras such discrimination includes true heroes such as Senator John S. McCain, and the hundreds of thousands of Veterans who volunteered for Vietnam Service, and
Wheras such discrimination is done in the face of the fact that all three of the groups involved were involved in combat operations, and were awarded the Vietnam Service Medal, not the Vietnam Era Service Medal, and
Whereas such Veterans are accorded less than War Veteran status by dint of these discriminatory actions, and
Whereas such Veterans then have been determined not worthy of the Welcome Home for Vietnam Veterans, and
Whereas such shameful treatment by the Government of the United States is contrary to all the historical records and true facts, and
Whereas the United States Congress has offered a resolution establishing a Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day,
Be it resolved that we Veterans and members of the Veterans Association of Sailors of the Vietnam War refuse to be so honored, and ask that all Vietnam Veterans refuse such honors, and that no welcome home is acceptable until such time as ALL true Vietnam Veterans are fully restored with their honor and their legacy, and their Veterans Rights and Benefits.
We ask that all of you reach out to your Representative, especially if they are on the co-sponsor list below and get a copy of our resolution above into their hands.
Here is the list of current co-sponsors of Representive Sanchez's HRes234.

"It is a stain on this nation's honor that the Department of Veterans Affairs has become a deadlier and more difficult adversary to the American veteran than any they have ever faced on a battlefield."-- VNVets
"The concept that Agent Orange, and its effects, stopped dead in its tracks at the shoreline is simply too illogical, and too ludicrous to accept. What does that say about the Bush Administration and his Department of Veterans Affairs?"--VNVets
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations." --President Abraham Lincoln
"It follows then as certain as that night succeeds the day, that without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive, and with it, everything honorable and glorious."--President George Washington

DJ Khaled, Miami hip-hop personality and King of Snapchat, was given the keys to Carol City Middle School Thursday. With his penchant for inspirational talks, dubbed "keys to success," Khaled was invited to be principal for a day at the school after it won a nationwide attendance contest.
Naturally, Khaled captured the whole thing on Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram.
Here's how Khaled's day went:
"Miami Carol City Middle School, I'm on my way."
January 20, 2016
The students designed a poster for Khaled featuring a key (his favorite emoji) and some of his maxims: "Don't let anyone take you off your path of success!"

Ratings and Reviews
Great Travel App, Recent Glitches
I have had this app for a few months and absolutely love it, however recently I noticed when exploring nearby places that Trover doesn't show all the places nearby like it used to, in fact the nearest place it did show was almost 80 miles away. This needs to be fixed pronto!
I've also found I'm unable to delete pictures I've posted. For example, some of the places I've posted are now out of business or no longer in existence, when I click delete on the photo edit this pops up: "Error Deleting Discovery", and the post remains. I don't want to mislead people wanting to explore these places, and currently am unable to remove these posts.
Developer Response ,
Hey Kire9050! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com—we'd love to get more details and resolve these issues. Trove on!
Great tool for many reasons
I started off using Trover as an app to store the best examples of my iPhone photography and then it became a resource for finding interesting things to do.
By tagging the location of all of your photos you get a map view of where your best photos were taken,I know you can do that with the Apple photos app but this is just for the photos that I particularly want to highlight for myself.
It's useful also when you're out and about to open the app see pictures taken nearby to help find new discoveries
Perfect App for Adventure
I travel a lot and wherever I go, I search for the best hiking and eating spots. This app allows you to search for those nearby gems or plug in a city or landmark and search near there. Perhaps the best feature is when you're viewing a picture, you can click on "nearby" and explore based on proximity. Also, all photos are geo-tagged, so you can get directions to each spot! My only wish is that more people used this app so that more photos would show.

Picture Heart Designs
21 April 2017
In April I undertook a full custom site build for Picture Heart Designs, featuring the work of local Derbyshire based artist Beth Beare.
Beth creates beautiful and elegant 3D artwork for a variety of occasions, and I'm very proud to have created her website.
As well as designing and building a website for Beth, I also did a branding makeover and several different pieces of print design for her. These included a smart new business card, a postcard for direct marketing, and a vertical banner for use at wedding fayres and conventions.
For the branding I adapted an already existing idea, and produced a clean and effective logo, emphasising the nature of the enterprise, and reflecting the artwork she produces.
For the website I chose a simple but easily navigable user-interface, using colours and styles prevalent in her products. As ever the site is fully responsive to whichever device the viewer is using.
As part of the deal I managed to get Beth to agree to supply a piece of custom artwork for the Trichrome office too, which the team are very pleased about!
Check out the site here – pictureheartdesigns.co.uk
Beth was kind enough to provide this testimonial:
"Trichrome Media provided excellent service helping with the design and structure of a website for my business. This was delivered in a timely and cost effective manner. Jim was always happy to offer advice and support at all stages of the development.
"Additional to the development of the website Trichrome Media also helped with the redesign of my business branding including business cards and marketing literature. I would highly recommend Trichrome Media."Return to previous page

The Audi Q5 was first introduced in Indian market in 2008. The 2013 Audi Q5 comes with major updates on its engine, ride comfort, fuel efficiency, infotainment and assistance systems.
The 2013 Audi Q5 got a more powerful and refined engine. Both petrol and diesel versions give out higher performance and better efficiency. The 2.0-litre petrol engine has a power of 225 PS and a torque of 380 Nm, Which is14 PS and 30 Nm higher than the previous model. While the new Q5 petrol version got an eight-speed automatic gearbox, the diesels variants (2.0 and 3.0TDI) got a 7-speed S tronic box. The Q5 also gets auto start-stop as standard, so it saves fuel while stopped in the traffic. The older engine just delivers a fuel efficiency of 9.49 kmpl and 11.6 kmpl, in city and highway respectively. Audi claims that it will deliver a better fuel efficiency of 16.66 kmpl.
The 2013 Audi Q5 comes with A4-based interior design. Though the Q5's front seats are comfortable, lack the range of adjustments just like its competitors(eg: BMW). The MMI (multimedia interface) infotainment control panel now has fewer buttons, revised software and a larger hard drive.
When compared to the previous model, the 2013 Q5 comes with a more sportier look. The Q5 also got a new Xenon plus headlights and LED daytime running lights. The grille is now prominently chromed, and now it gives importance to vertical lines. At front we can find a revised foglight housings and a reshaped bonnet that is less rounded than before.
When the riding quality of the vehicle is concerned, Q5 suits very well for Indian roads. Just like its previous model, the new Audi Q5 comes with four different driving modes. A small change is the switch to "S" sport mode from the regular "D" mode.
The safety features of Audi Q5 includes standard stability control, 4-wheel antilock brakes and six airbags (front, front side, full-length side-curtain). The 2013 Audi Q5 is offered in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige.

Facet Joint Pain Management
Palm Beach Pain Institute specializes in pain management in Boynton Beach and the facet joints may be the source of your pain. Facet joints, technically known as zygapophysial joints, are small, paired joints of the spine. They are movable connections that, along with the discs, provide structural stability to the spine, while at the same time allowing for movement. These joints have cartilage and a small amount of fluid, just like the many other joints of our bodies, such as the knees. They can be a source of neck, middle, or low back pain.
The diagnosis of facet joint pain can be difficult, but can be initially made through an examination with an interventional pain specialist, who can look for important historical, physical exam or imaging clues to the disorder. This needs to be differentiated from pain arising from the nerves, discs, muscles or other structures of or near the spine. The diagnosis can be confirmed through the use of an injection procedure where the small nerve branches to the facet joints are numbed through a procedure called medial branch blocks.
Conservative treatment of facet joint pain includes the use of postural correction, manual physical therapy, and medication pain management, including the use of anti-inflammatory medications or supplements. An individualized exercise program will enhance awareness and maintenance of proper posture and spine alignment.
Interventional procedures (injections) can be used to treat facet joint-generated pain. Facet blocks can be done by injecting a local anesthetic or numbing medicine, along with a corticosteroid, into the joints. This can assist in diagnosis. This may occasionally result in prolonged pain relief and return to a higher level of function. When facet blocks result in sustained pain relief and improved function, some insurance carriers will allow for repeat facet joint injections. These facet blocks can be used, also, as the first stage in the pain diagnostic process.
When the diagnosis of facet joint pain is made using injections of the medial branch nerves to the facet joints, then an additional treatment, called radiofrequency ablation of the medial branches, can be offered. The stronger the response to medial branch blocks, the better the prognosis for the outcome from RF ablation, or neurotomies, is. RF procedures can result in sustained pain relief of 6, 12 or more months.
In general, facet joint pain is a treatable condition that first requires accurate diagnosis and pain treatment by skilled practitioners.
Radiofrequency Neurotomy
Radiofrequency neurotomy is a procedure used to reduce back and neck pain from the facet joints in your spine. The facet joints are thumbnail-sized joints that are located in pairs between each bone of your spine. Pain in the back and neck area can be caused by injury, arthritis or other conditions affecting the facet joints.
The procedure uses heat generated by radio waves to damage specific nerves and temporarily interfere with their ability to transmit pain signals. In radiofrequency neurotomy, the radio waves are delivered to the specific nerves via needles inserted through the skin above your spine. Imaging scans are used during the treatment to help the doctor position the needles precisely.
The goal of radiofrequency neurotomy is to reduce chronic pain in the back or neck that hasn't been adequately relieved by other means, such as medications or physical therapy. Tests are conducted to determine if the nerves commonly targeted by radiofrequency neurotomy are the same nerves responsible for your pain.
Success rates vary, but typically about 50%-75% of patients undergoing this procedure for low back pain will experience significant pain relief for as much as two years. Of the remaining low back pain patients, about 50% will get some pain relief for a shorter period.
As an outpatient procedure the entire process of the treatment itself takes only 30 minutes. Call us today to set up a consult.

Liquid-only diets are aggressive weight loss plans appropriate for when you have a lot of weight to lose, and haven't had success using traditional weight loss strategies. For a limited period of time, you get all of your calories in the form of shakes, soups and other liquid-based meals. The very-low calorie content of liquid-only diets causes rapid, sustained weight loss. But don't confuse liquid programs with fad diets. Liquid programs require medical supervision and are clinically supported for treating obesity.
Weight Loss on Liquid-Only Diets
Liquid meal plans provide 800 to 1200 calories per day, on average, which promotes rapid weight loss. These diets can cause a weight loss of 2 to 4 pounds a week, according to a clinical review published in the September 2014 edition of the Nutrition Bulletin journal.
The amount and rate you lose depends on a number of factors such as your starting weight, age, gender and individual metabolism. In one study, participants lost an average of 35 pounds over 14 weeks. The participants were mostly female and age 46, on average, according to results the British Journal of General Practice published in February 2013. Another study published in the June 2006 issue of the journal "Obesity Surgery" reported that participants lost 20 pounds in six weeks.
Specially Formulated Meals Promote Weight Loss
Rapid weight loss is possible on a liquid meal replacement program, due to the carefully formulated liquid meals. Each product is low in fat and calories, with enough protein to support your lean muscle mass and moderate carbohydrates to supply energy. For example, a commonly used program offers shakes, soups and other liquid-based meals that contain roughly 160 to 170 calories each, when prepared. The products have 14 grams of protein, 3 to 5 grams of fat and 18 to 21 grams of carbohydrate. Because you can't replicate this nutrient breakdown with store-bought shakes, you must visit a weight loss clinic and enroll in their liquid-only program.
What to Expect on a Liquid-Only Plan
Positive change happens quickly when you follow a liquid-only diet, as directed. Most liquid meal replacement programs are followed in phases. Typically, the first phase is the most aggressive, as it is the phase where you replace all your meals with liquid-only products.
At most clinics, phase one lasts 12 weeks. Expect to attend weekly nutrition education classes while a clinician monitors your health and progress. During phase two, a transition phase that lasts six weeks, you eat one self-prepared meal -- typically dinner -- and continue replacing the rest of your meals with liquids. A key part of most liquid meal plans is the long-term maintenance where your clinic provides access to continued support to help you keep the weight off over time. Keep in mind each clinic may tailor their program slightly differently.
Liquid-Only Diet Risks and Considerations
A weight loss clinician monitors your health during a liquid-only program. Side effects are possible, however, 96 percent of the more than 8,000 participants in a April 2012 edition of the International Journal of Obesity reported no negative side effects. A very small number of participants in that same study experienced gallstones. Rapid weight loss is a risk factor for gallstones, as it causes the liver to release extra cholesterol into bile, where it can crystallize. A clinician will evaluate your health to determine whether you're a candidate for a full-liquid meal replacement plan. Liquid-only diets are not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have severe kidney or liver failure, certain heart conditions, or if you are over 65 years of age or under 18.
Keeping It Off After a Liquid-Only Diet
Most liquid-only programs gradually transition you to self-made meals. During the program, you learn how to portion foods and meals properly to prevent overrating once you return to solid foods. You also learn how to make healthy food choices and how to build nutrient-packed meals using whole foods. Without learning these crucial tools to keep the weight off, you risk regaining what you lost and undoing all of the hard work. You'll learn how to make sensible changes and how to have your favorite foods -- such as birthday cake or pizza -- in moderation, as well as how to make healthier versions of those foods.

Transitioning from FAR to FARM analysis
India & many developing countries have traditionally been strong advocates of source based taxation. In the context of transfer pricing, the spirit of OECD's guidelines in terms of "Functions Assets and Risk" (FAR) Analysis have been practiced and reliance thereon is also upheld by the Indian Courts in many rulings.
Developing countries like China or India have been advocating expanding the scope of profit attribution in source jurisdiction, based on not just FAR analysis but also considering the 'market' analysis, also referred to as FARM analysis. A renewed focus on 'value creation' post BEPS is accompanied by even stronger consideration of demand side factors in the TP analysis in some of the developing jurisdictions. This is also accompanied by the debate on whether 'OECD Authorized Approach (AoA)' using just FAR is adequate, especially in the context of digital economy taxation. While this debate is immediately relevant in the context of digital economy, the fundamental principles relating to FAR versus FARM analysis and AoA approach are also relevant in the context of transfer pricing.
Do you believe that market jurisdictions which create 'value' should be remunerated in addition to the outcome of FAR analysis? Will 'profit attribution' considering demand side factors be an appropriate solution for digital as well as traditional economy business models? Are these approaches in line with OECD's work on BEPS Action 8-10?

Manchester United star Jesse Lingard makes celebration vow after Middlesbrough win
MANCHESTER UNITED star Jesse Lingard has vowed to keep up his eccentric goal celebrations.
Lingard scored a stunner as Manchester United beat Middlesbrough 3-1 at the Riverside Stadium yesterday.
The 24-year-old netted either side of goals from Marouane Fellaini and Antonio Valencia as United continued their push towards the Premier League top four.
However, despite his heroics the winger was still criticised on social media.

Jesse Lingard produced a flute celebration after his individual goal
Lingard produced a "flute" celebration after his brilliant individual goal - much to the despair of many supporters.
He has previously marked his goals by dabbing and pulling off dance moves with team-mate Paul Pogba.
But Lingard does not care what others think and has vowed to keep celebrating in unorthodox ways.
Jesse Lingard has previously celebrated his goals with Paul Pogba
"Football makes you happy and you've got to enjoy it," he said.
"Obviously I enjoyed the moment and when you score it is a big thing, so you've got to take it in your stride.
"I don't really look into social media too much and what people write.
"You've got to perform for your club and if you make the manager happy, then that's the most important thing."

TENTERFIELD producers say they could struggle to get stock out of their own front gates when local council imposes load limits on its ageing timber bridges.
Community meetings are set to be held in four areas this month after residents were told of at least 16 bridges, many near stock properties, would be hit with limits as low as five and seven tonne gross vehicle weights.
Tenterfield Shire Council says load limits are required to ensure the structures don't fail before repairs or total replacement can be carried out.
Mayor Peter Petty said council was currently working with both state and federal government members to secure appropriate funding to begin a renewal program after bridge maintenance had "fallen off the radar".
"We have 58 wooden bridges in our shire," he said.
"We got tests on 17 of them by engineers and 14 of them came back dodgy, so what's that tell you about the other 40 odd?"
Beef and Merino sheep producer Scott Macansh, who's father Don is pictured above, only has one access to his 1625 hectare property, Deepwater Station, and it's blocked both ways by impacted bridges.
On Torrington Road both the Deepwater River bridge and the Kangaroo Creek bridge will be limited to 12t GVM.
Mr Macansh regularly sells large lines of stock, up to 1200 head of sheep, but expects to be only able to move about 100 head across the bridges at any one time.
"It'll completely change everything we do because everything that leaves here usually leaves on a semi or B-double," he said.
"We sell sheep in biggish numbers and they often go long distances.
"We have sold wethers up into Longreach and down into Victoria and you can't send them on a 10t truck.
"Also everything coming in; for feed during the drought, and normally we get B-doubles of feed from out west and fertiliser comes on B-doubles. Even the truck that brings our fuel wouldn't be able to come."
Greg Kneipp operates an earth-moving business in the Glen Innes and Tenterfield areas and grosses close to 40t with some of his equipment.
He sometimes travels about 20 kilometres to jobs but soon will have to detour, making 60 and 70km trips instead.
Mr Kneipp feared similar bridges in other shires could be the next to be impacted.
"We'll have to go back into other shires and they've got little bridges as well, probably in worse state than Tenterfield's and I think when they find out what's going on they'll most likely apply load limits too," he said.
"It's going to make it very hard and they are threatening big fines if you do cross.
Council has since purchased two steel replacement bridges to begin works from next year but Cr Petty was unable to outline when works would be complete.
He appreciated the impact it would have on some producers.
"All of our clients in our shire have been affected, especially with the dry time on, it couldn't be worse, because people want to get fodder," he said.
"Agriculture is our biggest industry in the shire but at the end of the day safety is our first thing." Community meetings are planned to explain the changes at:
- Torrington Community Hall on December 7 at 6.30pm
- Urbenville Community Hall on December 10 at 7pm
- Liston Community Hall on December 12 at 7pm.

Telecompetitor recently ran an article on Charter's plans to invest in rural areas. The article ended with a recap on what's up in the world of technology-neutral and how policy (really funding) has an impact on whether folks are really technology-neutral or not…
So why is Charter emphasizing rural investment and the importance of a technology-neutral approach at this time? The company also did not immediately respond to our request for examples of policy issues where technology considerations would be important, but I can hazard a few guesses.
The Universal Service Fund (USF) and Connect America Fund (CAF) normally are important policy areas when it comes to rural broadband, as those programs are helping to fund some deployments in high-cost areas. In administering those programs, the FCC has made an effort to be technologically-neutral, although anticipated rules for the upcoming CAF II auction are expected to favor lower-latency deployments – a rule that puts satellite broadband at a disadvantage. Telecom companies also have an advantage over cable or wireless companies in the areas they serve, as the USF and CAF programs essentially give telcos the first right of refusal for funding for those areas.
Traditionally cable companies haven't been very interested in USF and CAF and have not sought such funding, however. And the video accompanying Charter's post today suggests that hasn't changed, as the company boasts that it is investing millions in broadband in New York state "all at company cost" and "without tax-payer subsidies from the state."
The idea of being technologically-neutral could come into play with regard to the CBRS band, which includes the 3.5 GHz band that Charter has been using for fixed wireless trials. But open issues there pertain largely to fixed versus mobile wireless and small companies versus larger companies, rather than wireline versus wireless.
I'd be interested to hear if readers have some ideas about why technology-neutrality is so important to Charter. I will also post an update whenever I may hear back from them.

Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6, also called lanthanum boride and LaB) is a refractory ceramic material that has a melting point of 2210C, and is insoluble in water and hydrochloric acid. Hexaboride cathodes are about ten times "brighter" than tungsten cathodes, and have 10-15 times longer lifetime. Devices and techniques in which hexaboride cathodes are used include electron microscopes, microwave tubes, electron lithography, electron beam welding, X-ray tubes, and free electron lasers. LaB6 is a superconductor with a relatively low transition temperature of 0.45 K.

Re: Drug-testing rules broken by Canadian researchers, Sept. 16
Drug-testing rules broken by Canadian researchers, Sept. 16
Academic scientists publish the results of their work for two reasons: to put a "date stamp" on their research, hopefully establishing priority; and to foster discussion with other scientists – how science advances. Isaac Newton framed the process with the famous, self-effacing statement: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
Scientists employed by corporations were often prevented from publishing their results, sometimes until decades had passed. To the wider community, failing to publish research is the same as not having done it at all.
Looking at the failure of Health Canada to inform Canadians of the shortcomings of part of our pharmaceutical industry, one comes to two conclusions about Health Canada: it was putting the health of Canadians at risk; and it might as well not have done their regulatory work at all. Exactly the same might be said of the Canadian government agency in charge of inspecting meat processing plants.
How about the work of government scientists studying forestry, fisheries, climate, water quality, economics, environment, national statistics, etc? The Harper government appears to have suggested that their work was solely to inform cabinet decisions. If so, that may explain why the "Harpies" do not allow government scientists to speak publicly about their work.
From my point of view, the tax-cutting Tories would be well advised to close all our scientific establishments. Since they largely ignore the scientific work available to them, and will not let the public see the results either, why do it at all?
Clearly, one should never let the facts trump a good ideology.
Peter Bursztyn, Barrie
I really appreciate all of the hard work that David Bruser and Jesse McLean are doing to enlighten and inform us about the irresponsible practices of Health Canada. I'm sure it has been next to impossible to obtain salient information from the government organization that is in place to supposedly protect its citizens but instead have to rely on the FDA.
It begs the question as to why. Are they under-staffed or are they protecting the corporations known as Big Pharma? Like the majority of Canadians I resent and abhor that the products we consume are being produced offshore with apparently little or no quality control. At our peril, the corporations' only consideration is profit. The eroding job market and our health is of little consequence when their insatiable greed is paramount. It's obscene.
As a citizen, I don't know how we fight for accountability. Health Canada exists because of our taxes, this practice is unacceptable. Or are the corporations really the body governing our country?
Vivien C. Buckley, Burlington
Your editorial aptly describes the problems encountered in the reporting of clinical drug trials in Canada: "It's unnerving, unethical, and literally sickening."
It is unacceptable so see such unethical and downright crass behaviour by leading Canadian clinical researchers who have been caught routinely breaking the rules — thereby negatively impacting the health of Canadians who are being put at significant risk.
Canadians would not have known about the truth if it wasn't for records obtained by Star reporters from the U.S Federal Drug Administration — especially as Health Canada unbelievably keeps secret most of its inspections of drug trials. It is sad to think that this is the second Star investigative report in a week that clearly highlights the cavalier attitude taken by Health Canada with critical health and safety issues.
It is ironic that our health and safety is being compromised by the very government agency that has the responsibility to ensure the health and wellness of Canadians: Health Canada.
Rudy Fernandes, President, Global Health Strategy Inc., Mississauga
Health Canada recognizes that confidence and transparency are important in the decisions made that affect the health and safety of Canadians. That is why it has recently changed the way it operates to make more information publicly available than ever before through the Openness and Transparency Framework, announced by Health Minister Rona Ambrose in April 2014.
Not only has Health Canada begun regularly posting practical, world-leading drug safety review summaries online, but it has also accelerated the implementation of additional transparency initiatives related to this framework.
For example, the inspection report of GSK's Quebec facility was made public earlier this year, and Health Canada plans to regularly post information on inspections of companies and facilities including inspection dates, findings, and actions that result. Annual reports that summarize these results are also already being made available which contain statistics on the overall inspection program and examples of observations.
With regard to Apotex specifically referenced in earlier Star reports, Health Canada contacted the company shortly after learning that safety issues had been identified to request that they stop selling these products. Apotex did not agree. The company subsequently identified actions it had undertaken to mitigate these safety concerns, and agreed to additional safety testing to confirm the safety of its products. Health Canada has also since conducted a follow-up inspection. At no time have we received evidence that the drug products' safety has been compromised.
New powers proposed in Vanessa's Law (Bill C-17) will give the Minister of Health the tools to better respond to drug safety issues including powers to order mandatory recalls of unsafe drugs so that Health Canada does not have to negotiate with companies when safety issues are identified, tough new fines for companies who put Canadians at risk, and the authorities required to publish even more data on drug reviews and clinical trials.
Health Canada has strong measures in place to ensure that the drugs in Canada are safe, it is making more information publicly available than ever before, and will never hesitate to take action to protect the health and safety of Canadians.
Dr. Supriya Sharma, Senior Medical Advisor, Health Products and Food Branch, Health Canada
Your investigative report and the editorial on clinical drug trials were frenzied, self-righteous and very upsetting for me to read. I am not a physician, but I was involved in clinical trials for three decades. Because of attitudes like those of the Star, I thank my lucky stars that I don't do them any more, although I still am on adverse-event monitoring committees.
Your article never did explain what an adverse event or a serious side effect is. Adverse events can happen to everybody, whether they are taking a drug or not. Except for the most obvious side effects, it is a subjective decision to record something as averse, because it is open-ended, and can be anything bad.
You need to ask, did more bad things happen with the drug than without it? FDA inspectors are free to second guess, and if they want to show that they are doing their job, they will find things to criticize. Your article never did explain whether any of the specific safety reporting issues mentioned in your article related to people taking a drug or to people who were in the control group without the drug.
Treatment group is usually blinded to the clinical investigator, and blinded even to FDA inspectors. So until the results are tallied up, one can never know about the effectiveness or safety a drug. No drug company or clinical investigator willingly puts out a bad drug, the way your article suggested. Reality would catch up with them, and cost them dearly.
Your article certainly left readers with the impression that Canadian clinical researchers are less competent than American ones. Did you have any evidence to support that? To be fair, why did you not pick on shortcomings that FDA inspectors cited about American clinical researchers?
I checked the FDA website, trying to get a sense of the worst offenders, according to the FDA. It lists about 200 physicians classified as disqualified or restricted from doing clinical research. Imagine my surprise when not a single one of them was Canadian. Your article led me to expect at least a couple on that list.
I admire physicians who undertake clinical research. Their lives would be so much better if they avoided doing it. But without clinical research, there would be absolutely none of "medical breakthroughs" that you love reporting on.
Reinhold Vieth, Retired Professor, University of Toronto
I am disappointed that similar concern has not been expressed about the recent Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) At Home/Chez Soi $110 million research, also funded by Health Canada. In this study, 2,000 mentally ill homeless people in five cities were offered the possibility of housing if they participated in the study.
Some 50 percent of these people were then randomized to a control group that did not receive housing. This research duplicated previous studies that had already established the benefits of housing. When the study finished, those who had been housed in three of the cities did not get a full continuation of services and have possibly returned to the streets.
The "Out of the Shadows at Last" Senate Report determined that much of the discrimination toward mentally ill people comes from the mental health system. Disregard for the welfare of mentally ill people was evident in the MHCC research.
Kathy Mochnacki, Home on the Hill Supportive Housing, Richmond Hill
Congratulations to David Bruser and Jesse Mclean for another first-rate investigative series on drug risks and safety. These investigative reporters fearlessly expose many serious medical safety risks resulting from the systemic secrecy, medical incompetence and coverups in Canadian clinical trials and Health Canada's "oversight."
All the doctors named should be criminally charged with medical malpractice, medical negligence and/or other violations of medical ethics, and lose their medical license. It's time to investigate Health Canada for its long-standing unethical secrecy, its continuing refusal to publicize adverse effects and other major information in clinical drug trials — clearly unethical.
For example, it was the FDA that exposed Health Canada's failure to report a clinical trial during which a 5-year-old autistic boy was administered the brain-damaging neuroleptic risperidone, which caused serious neurological effects.
Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose should be questioned in Parliament and held accountable for Health Canada's continuing secrecy incompetence, coverups, and conflicts of interest with drug companies (Big Pharma). Health Canada should be investigated now.
Bruser and Mclean deserve national public recognition, investigative reporting awards for exposing many medical-and-government-sponsored drug safety crimes.
Don Weitz, Toronto
Good thing we have the FDA and the Star to look after our best interests with regards to clinical drug trials. Health Canada appears to just run diversion tactics for the medical profession and big pharma.
Richard Kadziewicz, Scarborough
It is time that we prosecute these doctors and the drug companies that sponsor them.
Mimi Khan, Scarborough
Is the issue generic drugs in general, or ones that come from India? If it's the former, then then there has to be a massive re-evaluation, given the sheer number. If the latter, then a question should be posed: Why are drug regulators the world over, with the sole exception being the U.S. FDA, allowing all these medicines to come in to their respective countries. The drug regulating bodies in every country can't all be corrupt or inept.
India exports a large number of generic medicines all over the world. Most of them are safe and effective. A few seem to be dubious, but only the FDA has spotted them. Why is that?
Varun Shekhar, Toronto
The Star has informed its readers of the incompetence by Health Canada in keeping the results of their investigations into pharmaceutical companies a secret from the taxpayers they work for.
Health Canada has become another whore in the Harper government, playing along with again a secret policy of giving information to the public only if it is of benefit to federal government.
I would imagine that the top management at Health Canada and Harper politicians get the secret results of Health Canada's research passed along to them so they and their families do not purchase certain medications that may have been found to be harmful. The rest of us (Peons -a person who is not very important in a society or organization) do not matter.
When the next Prime Minister replaces this dictatorship after the next election, I hope that he would fire every single manager at Health Canada, no matter what the management rank is, and replace them with contractors hired from the FDA. It seems that only then will we get what we are paying for.
Robert Knight, Toronto
What is missing here is some notion of what pattern there is for the consumption of pain medication for the different age groups. We have been hearing a great deal over the past few years about the aging population and the demands it has, or will have, put on health care. Is there a correlation between the two?
If I might use myself as an example of one aging senior, I have had both my hip joints replaced due to osteoarthritis, the wearing away of the cartilage in the joint. The prime reason for these replacements is simple, it's pain and lots of it. For me, the replacements have been a success and my mobility is good.
My problems were readily addressed by replacement. There are many other joints, muscles and other body part that simply work less well with age, often with accompanying pain, and there is little that can be done other that to attempt to manage the pain.
It begs the question just who are we saving from what with the increased focus on pain medication? Bureaucratic hurdles are already rising. A recent purchase of Tylenol III, that's Tylenol with codeine, was an exercise in form filling, identity checking and signatures, all over and above the usual prescription administrivia.
We need to do better to help those in pain to receive the best treatment our society can offer. If there are other problems here, ways need to be found to address them without impacting those in need.
David Kister, Toronto
I would be interested in knowing if there is any correlation between this rise and any increase in the number of prescriptions given to the elderly in nursing homes. Pain seems to be an increased concern for those especially over 90 years of age.
Bonnie Bacvar, North York
As part of a group of very concerned senior citizens, we were appalled to read that Health Canada would willingly and willfully jeopardize the health and well being of her citizens.
Does this mean that Health Canada and the minister were in collusion with at least five companies mentioned in the article? One wonders whether the government ever thought what moral and ethical questions would be raised when this would be uncovered.
We congratulate all who worked on this horrendous problem and the Star for publishing this terrible blot on the health system.
Reva Dolgoy, Patricia Murdoch, Joy Schreiber and R. Dolgoy
Secrecy is insidious. The NFL gave out a two-game suspension when we knew Ray Rice knocked out his wife. When we actually saw a video of Mr. Rice knocking out his wife and got outraged, they gave him a much larger penalty.
With some stellar Star reporting, we have known for awhile about one of our government agencies having a tendency to conceal vital information. But, we have not gotten sufficiently outraged to get action on changing this.
The fact that Health Canada withheld data about 20-plus companies that have been cited since 2012 for severe manufacturing violations is a punch to the health of Canadians on medications. Our video evidenced knockout blow for this issue should be the FDA exposing the below standard health-threatening drugs being produced in India for Canadians.
Aren't Stephen Harper and the Conservative government ashamed that our country needs the FDA to play the same role as TMZ Sports did with the Ray Rice video? Please do something about this at once!
Russell Pangborn, Keswick
It would not seem unreasonable to take from the article that there were kickbacks paid by the pharmaceuticals to the governing bodies to deep six, as it were, the incriminating evidence piled up by the FDA and, when it wanted to, Health Canada, an oxymoron if there ever was one.
Health Minister Rona Ambrose should be summarily fired. According to OED, a minister is one to whom the executive head of government entrusts the direction of certain affairs of state. Your article imparts the idea that she is most egregiously untrustworthy.
Frank Cain, North York
I was shocked and appalled to read that Dr. Jeremy Desai, president and CEO of Canadian pharmaceutical company Apotex, believes that "compliance is a journey." Sorry, Dr. Desai, Canadians are not on a Buddhist spiritual retreat with you. Drug safety compliance is an end, the only end.
When we head to the pharmacy to pick up our prescriptions, the end for us is a safe, clean drug that does what it is supposed to do, accompanied by warnings that tell us honestly the side effects that we might expect.
If you and your company cannot manage that then please journey elsewhere.
Marilyn Ginsburg, Thornhill
Health Canada is worse than a joke. It is a schizophrenic agency that is clearly not trustworthy in its stated mandate. Health Canada, it would seem, feels that consumers must accept the higher risks of these adulterated and sub-standard drugs while, at the same time, concealing via secrecy, what those risks are.
Juxtapose that position with Health Canada's stated position on marijuana. Dried marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada. The government of Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, but the courts have required reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana when authorized by a physician.
If Health Canada conceals information about the safety of drugs it has approved as medicine in Canada and endorsed their use what kind of regulatory assurances of quality and efficacy could we expect for a drug that it has not approved and does not endorse but only begrudging makes available because the "courts have required reasonable access to a legal source." This is surely a case where the black market is more trustworthy than our own government.
Clearly, in both of these circumstances, and as a well defined pattern of behaviour from the Harper government, the protection of industry and the flow of revenue is of paramount concern while consumer and public protection is a distant afterthought. This is self-evident from these and other revelations about Health Canada, the Tar Sands and the governments complete and utter disinterest for well-being of surrounding communities and for planned pipelines through densely populate urban regions. Any opposition to the latter two are labeled, in a word, 'terrorist' by this government. Will Harper now begin a slander campaign against any and all Health Canada detractors, of which, it is deserving of many.
Harper and this government is not your friend. Harper is about one thing and one thing only; making money for his friends and making the public assume all of the risk and pay for all of their clean-up and suffer all of the consequences of their actions. The most egregious consequence is going to jail for using a plant that humans have used safely for tens of thousands of years while these drug companies produce drugs with dubious science and even worse production processes and get a total pass.
How many legal drugs have cost Canadians their lives and are still on the shelves? Get caught with marijuana and the state will make every attempt take everything you own, and your children and throw you in jail.
Health Canada is an illegitimate and corrupt authority. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could spit up those tainted pills the it has authorized for sale in Canada.
Paul Becker, Toronto
As has been said about other matters recently, you couldn't make this stuff up.
Have just finished John Grisham's book The Litigators, written about five years ago. Yes, you can. But it is not nearly as entertaining when it is true.
Ron Gibbens, Richmond Hill

Having back problems could be especially difficult when you're by yourself, and have nobody to help out. Debilitating conditions because Sciatica or a Herniated Disk can make life very miserable. Pain radiates down the spine and leg within the sufferer, and makes it hard to do about almost anything. Simple things like sitting, prone or standing become uncomfortable. What does person do when looking at mobilization rrssues? Here are suggestions that worked for me, when Experienced recuperating for months with serious lumbar spine predicaments.
Swimming. It is the best physical activity to help someone suffering back problems. Swimming allows soft movements because you move almost in a condition of weightlessness. This activity healthy activity plays two distinct roles: prevent and cure muscular back soreness. Additionally, practicing regularly this discipline buying to strengthen your last a right alignment. Anyone have to learn that will be far much better to practice back stroke than breaststroke.
These days, www.youtube.com supplies great support for people dealing with pain. Offer the natural methods that can get gone pain and restore the check in perfectly being. In particular, services such as those on the Canonsburg Chiropractor should be regarded as. Chiropractors will deal also with pain but with all related factors with regards to it.
This is the chance to interview the physical therapist! Remember, and do not ever forget, a person need to have obtaining to products and solutions from own care, and the duty to certain that you get the best really do care. This means a person the right to ask the physical therapist questions too. Come straight out and say, "Can you be emotionally supportive in doing my care? Now i need this." Or, you can ask the physical therapist if may be allow which work privately during your sessions. You may have work best lawn mowers of the several hours. You can inquire as to whether they can offer your care inside mornings.
Upright bikes could along with handlebars the move to and fro in a rowing like motion. This motion will work your arms, your chest, your abs and your back muscle. These bikes will give that you terrific cardiovascular workout and also a metabolic process experience.
These days, animal clinics and hospitals do not really offer vet services, are usually now also catering pyhsical therapy. Animal physiotherapists basically support the same jobs as human physical physical therapists. They gradually rehabilitate the animal to its normal or as close to normal techniques. There create a therapy program which includes therapy sessions, diet, and use.
Remember – you should get a second opinion in order to make a choice about which of the TMJ treatment protocols your health care provider recommends. Make sure you understand all the options available to you, also as the huge and perils of each.
I could talk for a long time about the main benefits of full-body multi-plane exercise behavior. Hopefully you understand why it's so important on your own movement success and ultimately your fitness success.
