Arrangements for providing statistical staff (whether inside or outside the organisation) with access to administrative or management sources for statistical purposes
Apart from internal management information ONS only holds administrative information for statistical purposes. Within ONS access to administrative information is controlled by the relevant Information Asset Owner. The control is implemented through controlled login to the ONS network with access controls placed on individual systems.
Outside ONS access to administrative information is regulated by the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007. Access is granted to individual researchers and projects under a Data Access Agreement which specifies the terms and conditions under which the information can be processed. Such access is authorised by the Microdata Release Panel within ONS.Administrative information that is received as a result of Information Sharing Orders (gained under section 47 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007) is restricted to only those purposes prescribed in the Order.
Arrangements for auditing the quality of the original source data
Where administrative information is already held by ONS for statistical use, the quality of the source data is reassessed as part of the regular reviews of the wider statistical system that it is a part of.For information that requires an Information Sharing Order the quality is tested early on in the process of gaining access. It is assessed by our own staff to ensure it is of sufficient quality for the intended statistical outputs as part of the feasibility study before a formal request is submitted for the information to be made available to ONS.
|Procedures for handling changes, and possible discontinuities, in the underlying source data
|Where possible time series are recalculated to allow a period of comparison if there is a change or discontinuity in the underlying source data. Such events are always highlighted and described in any publication of the statistics.
Procedures for ensuring the security of the statistical processes which use administrative or management sources
ONS operates within a strong legal framework that provides safeguards for privacy. This is provided by the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, the Statistics of Trade Act 1947, the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998.
ONS also aims to comply with the requirements identified by the Data Handling Review and the mandatory requirements stated in the Security Policy Framework.ONS also ensures that it has up to date and tested Business Continuity Plans in place to guard against the results of unforeseen threats to its statistical processes.

Sonia Thomas is out to change the world one stitch and one fashion statement at a time.
Thomas, a daughter of an impoverished single mother, is the founder of Olanova, a 6-month-old venture headquartered in Salt Lake City that hires local single mothers to complete all of the sewing for its line of eco-friendly clothing. In addition, the company donates sewing machines to impoverished mothers globally.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"The older that I get, [the more] I understand how important it is, as humans, to give back in any way possible," Thomas said.
Thomas said that while growing up in poverty, she saw the challenges that come with a lack of resources. Olanova is the product of her desire to help those in similar circumstances.
Olanova takes donated clothing and other fabricsand "refashions" them into one-of-a-kind new products such as skirts, blouses and vests. It also has a line of organic cotton T-shirts. Each is designed by Thomas, who is now selling her clothing online, but hopes eventually to establish her own chain of boutiques.
"Every person is unique and so your clothing should be unique. So, that's what makes [Olanova] fun," said J.R. Holbrook, a Utah fashion designer and friend of Thomas.
Holbrook was the emcee for an Olanova fashion show late last month at the Azevedo Studios in Midvale. All proceeds, which came from ticket and products sales, went to help women in need.
"Sonia is so clever because she's really good at balancing exactly what needs to go where" in her designs, Holbrook said.
For model Mona Nyang, working the Olanova fashion show was different from what she usually experiences walking the runway.
"I liked wearing the clothes because there was a purpose behind it," Nyang said.
Holbrook, who said that "green is the new black," sees Olanova as playing a role in the growing eco-fashion movement, which he said used to be only for the "granolas" or the "earthmuffins," but now is becoming more mainstream.
Advances in technologies, he said, have helped create more durable organic cotton fabrics and also opened up new marketing opportunities.
"If you're making fashions that no one's going to wear, that's not green either because you're just making more junk. You need to make stuff that's functional, that's beautiful, that can be re-lived and have a whole new life," Holbrook said.
"Humanbeings live their life in fabric, in fashion," he added. "Fashion is more than just clothing. It's behavior and being elegant."
Thomas echoed Holbrook's sentiments and noted that happiness is not based on a dress size.
"Olanova wants to show the fashion world that [women] can be beautiful, confident, smart, powerful, fun businesses, be writers, be a size 16 and be happy," Thomas said. "We have been bombarded with so many things as to what is beauty and what is acceptable, that we cannot see beyond that."
Holbrook believes in Olanova's philanthropic goals because he sees giving single mothers resources and making them feel powerful as a necessity in society.
"Women have just this maternal instinct and this silent power that we need more than ever right now in our society," he said. "Men are guided by women. No matter how powerful the man is in any station in society, men defer to women a lot of times for their fashion sense, for their behavior, for even their sense of self-esteem."
Holbrook and Thomas believe that single mothers are an often-forgotten demographic of society that not only needs help but is an important group to help.
"How advanced can you claim your civilization to be if you can't even protect your women and children?" Holbrook asked.
For Thomas, it is important to have all of Olanova's clothing made in the United States and to have Olanova's work benefit single mothers around the world. She modeled her ideas for Olanova after Toms, a company that donates shoes to children in Africa, matching the purchases of their customers. She hopes that more people will purchase items from Olanova for the charity involved, much as people purchase Toms.Next Page >

What's Next?
As they reach retirement in record numbers, baby boomers are rediscovering their passions and reconnecting with younger and older generations.
Story By Greg Fornia, SCT '92
Reviled for squandering the legacy of "the greatest generation," revered for redefining what it means to be middle-aged and considered irrelevant by those under the age of 30, baby boomers—those 79 million people born between 1946 and 1964 living in the U.S.—stir strong opinions. What is indisputable is that those born during the early years of the post-World War II demographic bulge are now in their 60s. With so many people entering the "young old" cohort, will the boomer generation reinvent what it means to age in the U.S.?
"People are living longer today," says Nancy Henkin, EDU '73, '80, executive director of the Intergenerational Center at Temple, "and that raises many questions: How long do I want to work? Who do I want to be? How will I live my life?"
Established in 1979, the Intergenerational Center, formerly known as the Center for Intergenerational Learning, offers several initiatives that help those 50 and older navigate their lives. More broadly, the center is dedicated to bringing generations together to strengthen local communities and promote lifelong engagement. Many center initiatives reach out to diverse populations, from recent immigrants to children in urban schools.
"When demographers and others started talking about the baby-boom generation, they assumed it would eventually turn into a glut of workers who would leave the workforce and have nothing to do," explains Henkins, who generally uses the term "50 plus" to describe this population. "Many baby boomers are not interested in traditional retirement. They are looking for compelling opportunities to give back to their communities, learn new things, continue working or take on new career challenges. They are a tremendous community resource."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a person in the U.S. who reaches the age of 50 has a life expectancy of another 30 years.
"Essentially, we have added a new stage to life," Henkin says. "But for most people, it is not about what stage you are in; it's about the overall journey."
Time to Come of Age
To help people make the most of the journey, the Intergenerational Center offers Coming of Age, an initiative designed to help the 50-plus population explore their futures, make civic connections and contribute to society through opportunities—both paid and unpaid—in their communities.
Launched in 2002 as a partnership between the Intergenerational Center, Philadelphia radio and television station WHYY, AARP Pennsylvania and the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Coming of Age also trains nonprofit groups on how to harness the energy and expertise of older people.
"Today, people 50 and older are healthy and vigorous and ready to take on new challenges," says Mady Prowler, assistant director of Coming of Age, which has sites in Philadelphia, Delaware, Central Pennsylvania, Kansas City and San Francisco. Another site is scheduled to open soon in Austin, Texas.
With WHYY, Coming of Age produces Boomervision!, event programs that feature prominent authors and national experts discussing work, health and well-being, and other topics. Another WHYY collaboration is Coming of Age Radio Profiles, audio and web profiles about people 50 and older and who have had exciting life transitions.

Linda Dubin Garfield, CLA '64, EDU '69, '84, is included in the profile series. A retired high school guidance counselor, she now is an award-winning professional printmaker and mixed-media artist. "I finally followed my own advice to students: 'Follow your dreams,'" she says. "My dream was to be an artist."
Since becoming a full-time printmaker in 2005, Dubin also has started ARTsisters, a group of professional female artists dedicated to community engagement, and Smart Business Consulting, which helps emerging artists market their work. "I'm combining art and my skills as a counselor," Dubin says. "Creating art can be very isolating, so I'm always looking to bring people together."
Coming of Age also organizes "Make a BIG Difference" teams, small groups of volunteers based at local organizations who address critical community needs.
For example, at the Bristol Township (Pa.) Senior Center, a 12-member team took on several health and wellness initiatives. Team members ranged in age from 50 to 80, with some employed, retired or actively looking for work. Several team members traveled to Sesame Place, the Bucks County, Pa., amusement park, to learn about environmentally friendly gardening techniques. They then shared what they learned at the senior center and brought in students from nearby schools and another community organization to help with a garden project.
Supported by a Coming of Age grant, team members taught courses in the Arthritis Foundation's self-help program and in Healthy Steps, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging's fall-prevention program.
"I wanted to get into shape and thought that by teaching others, I would be more committed to keeping myself fit," says Ellen Miller, THM '89. A former senior center director herself who was, in her words, "unwillingly retired" in her early 60s, Miller enjoys working with the volunteer team as she looks for a new paid position
in her field.
"The volunteers take the lead in running the project, which creates a sense of shared purpose and a common goal," says Bonnie Worth, director of the Bristol Township Senior Center. "A real team and strong, supportive friendships develop."
Worth, who has turned to the Intergenerational Center for training and support for nearly 20 years, says her center will next try to develop a volunteer team that focuses on programs for veterans.
Through an Intergenerational Lens
While Coming of Age focuses on connecting baby boomers to new opportunities, other programs bring generations together to address critical community needs.
"For more than 31 years, the center has utilized intergenerational strategies to support care-giving families, improve academic achievement, foster immigrant integration and enrich childcare programs," says Nancy Henkin, who was mentored by Maggie Kuhn, political activist and founder of the intergenerational organization called Gray Panthers.
This intergenerational approach is exemplified by Communities for All Ages, the center's initiative in 25 cities that helps communities address local issues and promote the well-being of all age groups. For example, residents in East Jerusalem and Itta Bena, both in Mississippi, are working on obesity prevention through access to fresh food and health education. In Kalamazoo, Mich., residents from different generations are working to help youth stay in school. And in Phoenix, the program focuses on ways to improve community safety.
According to Henkin, "Increased diversity and competition for scarce resources require that we begin to think and act differently—for the common good. By creating new alliances among organizations, empowering residents of all ages and creating opportunities for interaction across ages and cultures, Communities for All Ages is creating places that are good for growing up and growing older."

- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 9/21/2014Used to be a four star favorite, but fell flat on this visit. First two selections for apps ordered from the menu, server came back "the kitchen can't make that". Both main dishes were left half eaten, fish was tasteless and strip steak a poor/tough cut. Sides were bland. There was some discussion overheard of a new fall menu, can't come soon enough.
- Great food and serviceZack5906Dined on 9/20/2014To be honest I had almost forgotten what good food and service were like without being overpriced. Everything was what you would hope for: reservation from Open Table, Hostess pleasant, waiter as good as it gets and the food was wonderful. I will go back for sure.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014We have dined here several times and have always been pleased with the food and service. The steaks and prime rib ( Sat only ) are consistantly the best in this area. The prices are high but so is the quality, Our visits will be monthly rather than weeklySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Bit Off this timeBuntzVIPDined on 9/19/2014This time, Mile High was a bit off in the preparation of their steaks, not enough to send them back, but not quite right either. My wife's filet was medium instead of medium well and my rib eye was not as juicy as usual, although the flavor was good. Chalk it up to a very busy Friday evening, because we eat here often and are always happy. The lobster, served as part of the surf and turf deal, was excellent. Ceil's service, as always, was great.Special Features:
- Always a fantastic mealllreVIPDined on 9/12/2014Mile High is a special place for an incredible meal. Everything we had was excellent. delicate crab wonton appetizers, tender delicious steaks with lobster & crab cakes. And really interesting desserts makes it really hard to choose, we got the sugared donut holes - so amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent as alwaysPAmuggleDined on 8/31/2014We are never disappointed. Thanks Cecelia for the superb service. We are looking forward to the new fall menu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LTTMDined on 8/30/2014The food and service was very good. I have been there twice and have enjoyed both visits.Special Features:
- Great Happy HourAnonymousVIPDined on 8/26/2014Great Happy Hour with fantastic pricing, well made drinks (need a few more beers on tap to compete with the new kids on the block) but the experienced bartenders are what makes this the place to be for Happy Hour. Our only suggestion is to get rid of the prepackaged seasoned fries that are usually left on our plates. Fresh cut non seasoned steak house fries with Mile High's excellent selection of burgers would make others pale. Oh yes, if you want to stay for a great meal in the dining room, that works too. Excellent service and great steaks and seafood. All around Mile High knows how to keep people coming back. I guess that is why the place is always packed!Special Features:
- Somewhat disappointedrich17Dined on 8/23/2014I've been to Mile High a number of times and it has always been a special place. However, most recently on my visit the service was not as top notch as in the past, and the prime rib my wife and I ordered were both overcooked from how we specified. This is not normal for Mile High. Maybe regular staff is away on vacation, but they need to keep their consistency up for the prices they charge!Special Features:
- Mile High High PraiseBuntzVIPDined on 8/21/2014We like Mile High for their top-quality steaks and fine service. Everything from a nice selection of rolls with a flavored butter to the delightful sorbet palate cleanser served after the appetizer on to steaks that are done exactly as we like them, is designed to provide a great dining experience. We even had enough for a nice lunch the following day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great dinnerLAZANDTAMDined on 8/21/2014Visited with work friends this time. A couple of them newbies and they loved it. I think I should start getting rewards for introducing new customers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Atmosphere, Elegence!simplytinaDined on 8/20/2014Very friendly, comfortable atmosphere. Beautiful restruant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliably good!OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/16/2014We are regulars, and know we can always depend on a great steak, and other tasty options. The only place I can get really hot crispy fries, which I love.Special Features:
- Great SteakOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014This restaurant has great steaks It is expensive and I only go 3 or four times a year. I wish they were open for lunch. If they were open for lunch I would go more often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply the BestPrimeRibberDined on 8/16/2014The salad and soup were terrific. We had three different entrees: prime rib, NY Strip, & Lamb. All were outstanding with beautiful presentations. All agreed it was a superior experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Limited MenuBetteaanneDined on 8/16/2014There are NO organic offerings and few, VERY FEW, vegetarian meals,~ NOTHING that looked appealing anyway. I do not eat meats that are not free range, humanely raised and antibiotic and steroid free. I rarely eat meat at all. I saw NO wild caught fish selection. Will not be returning. The only food we could order were the twin tails, hopefully not farmed raised, we were told they were from south Africa. The King crab legs were from Alaska, so that was cool. The salads were ok..... but we took our chance and ate them even though NOT organic. I had a stomachache after, I guess my body is not used to pesticides.Special Features:
- Fine DiningFrankDined on 8/13/2014This restaurant is one of our favorites because the service has always been excellent and the food is consistently outstanding. Their steaks are superior to either Morton's or Ruth Chris!Special Features:
- Would Love to be to go more oftenOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/10/2014Excellent God, great service and I would frequent more often but it is a little pricey. Great for a special occasion!Special Features:
- Great Food!DELisaDined on 8/7/2014Food was cooked perfectly. Loved the palate-cleansing sorbet after the appetizers--perfect touch! Those in our group who ordered steak said the meat was very tender. The fish was fresh & cooked to easily break apart with a fork. The waiter was very attentive. Menu is pricey, but well worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently greatCoolinarianDined on 8/6/2014Front of the house management changes and service can be great or so-so depending on the server - but we go here for the FOOD and it is consistently great! Chef Dave and his crew continue to keep the menu balanced between Classics (steaks cooked to perfection with house made sauces for the steaks that are over the top, wedge salad is always crispy and served on a cold plate) and contemporary menu items and specials that are always tempting and deliverSpecial Features:
- Bad experienceFoodieVIPDined on 8/1/2014We've eaten here many times. This time was terrible. One of our drinks was in a foul smelling, dirty glass. One of the steaks was inedible. Tasted like it was soaked in a stick of butter. Very disappointing experience.
- great foodgreatDined on 7/31/2014We enjoyed every part of our meal. The soup of the day, chicken corn chowder was the best I ever had. Steak was tender and cooked just right. Desert was a deep fried Oreo with vanilla sauce and ice cream. It was to die for. Definitely will be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/28/2014I took my husband here to celebrate his birthday. We went on a Monday night which was quiet, so our dining experience will most likely differ from those who go on the weekend. We both had the filet mignon which were excellent. He had the Cesar salad and I had the spinach salad which was also very good. The service was a little slow, but we would definitely go back.Special Features:
- very nicerudyDined on 7/26/2014food and service was excellent. The atmosphere was a little ultramodern and sterile for my tastes but everything, from the drinks to the salad to the entrees and the dessert was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sebastianDined on 7/19/2014We always enjoyed the food in the past. We invited out of town guests to join us on Saturday. The steak was of very poor quality, under cooked and smothered with rizzotto and cheese. This was clearly to cover a lack of lobster on othe top and poor quality filet. I am very disappointed, especially at those prices.Special Features:
- Not So GoodDateNightDined on 7/19/2014Our meals came out and my steak was cooked to my spec but my wife ordered medium and it came out well done. They did a new steak while I ate my entire dinner, the new steak came out and it was a lousy cut. Bottom line I ate and my wife did not. They offered a third but at this point we just wanted to leave and go home. If you want a good steak try Morton's or the Palm.
- OutstandingPickipickipickiDined on 7/18/2014We went there for our Anniversary - actually went a day before so we could enjoy the Surf and Turf special. Our filet was cooked to perfection, one of the best meals we had have in a long time. My lobster tail was so tasty and my husband loved his crab cake. We will be going back soon. This was our first visit to the dining room but not our last.Special Features:
- Was pleasently surprisedJezzDined on 7/18/2014I have to say first and foremost the food is delicious. The service was really good but I do believe they should have more waiters on weekends. Andrew was absolutely wonderful. He just had a very large group right next to us of 8 that were definitely taking a lot of his time, but he was right back at our table as soon as they would let him free to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. The prices were high but it definitely matched the quality of the food. It is out of our way driving there from Philadelphia but I would eat there again. In fact we purchased more gift certs to do just that. I have read some reviews that were not too flattering but I do like to form my own opinion and I am glad I did.Special Features:

- Over-priced for mediocre foodNinasJoyDined on 7/16/2014The only good things I can say are that the portions were ample, the vegetables cooked properly, and the service was good enough. Other than that, a pesky fly buzzed around the entire time I was there (made me suspicious), the bread basket, although good choices, tasted freezer burnt. Everything was over-sauced and greasy with butter. The Delmonico steak had perfect grill marks, but was tough. The calamari appetizer had a nice crispy coating, but was watery on the inside and lacking in flavor. The lobster mac N' cheese was not good at all. For 2 people without drinks or desserts and a shared appetizer, the check came to $107. I also had to ask our server how much the specials were.
- pcje4VIPDined on 7/15/2014Service was very good. Steaks were good, but charred and we don't like them that way. Overall meal was very good, but expensive. Won't go out of our way to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BuntzVIPDined on 7/11/2014Great Delmonico, great filet, lobster tail with no extra charge, nice salad and professional service from Valentino. What more do you need from a great steak house?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not happy about this last minuteJacquelynDined on 7/8/2014I had reservations for another restaurant in the area, when my party decided to try out the Mile High restaurant. I was hesitant at first but was willing to give it a chance. We walked in and were happily greeting and sat down in a beautiful dinning area. It was very spacious, clean, and well decorated. After looking over the menu for a few minutes a waiter came over who was very friendly. When it came to taking our order he was a bit slower as when asking about a food allergy he needed to check with the kitchen. Our dinner came and everyone enjoyed theirs, I wasn't too impressed. I ordered the lobster bisque, which was great. But my entree was average. The entree really turned me off from the rest of the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BuntzVIPDined on 6/23/2014Had 2 nice fillets with very good service on a busy evening. Nice touches are the flavored butter and the sorbet palate cleanser. Excellent steak house, although they offer a complete menu.Special Features:

- another hitoaktrailerDined on 6/14/2014As always, cannot find anything negative to say. Dinner was as expected. My wife had the seafood (Chilean Sea Bass, if memory serves) and I had the prime rib, medium rare. It was brought to the table as ordered, my wife pronounced the seafood as excellent. Drinks were well poured, and the Sean Minor went well with the beef. The doughnuts for dessert were a great finish to the meal. We keep coming backSpecial Features:

Community Members;
Helen Chapman and I (Terri Balandra) were invited to participate in a TOD (Transit Oriented Development) research focus group, led by Karen Chapple (from UC Berkely ) at San Jose State, a couple of years ago. The end result, attached below, see the link for the 122 page: "California Infill Manual, Best Practices for Higher Density", by Troy Reinhalter. It is a California Sustainable TOD reference manual for Profit & Non-Profit Developers, Progressive Designers, and Architects.... & references issues in the San Jose Planning area, among others.
Low and behold, on the front cover is the photo I took of the view from my back porch, of the Fiesta Lanes Project, directly looming over my backyard...(obviously, a reference to "Bad TOD Planning")
Pages 42-44, (of the actual Manual page numbers), are particularly interesting.
This is quite good... I'm passing it along to our San Jose Planning Dept... Enjoy! Terri Balandra
I will refer to the actual page number in the manual:
* Cover: The view from my back door
* pg 2: Cover photo credit: Terri Balandra, Fiesta Lanes Action Group
* pg 27: Why Design Matters...
* pg 32: Transition to Existing Forms: Respect Specifics of Local Context (A "Transition Zone"? Yay!)
* pg 34: A "Community Benefits Agreement"... (What a great concept!)
* pg 36: Explain how projects fit into the longterm planning context and when new infrastructure and promised transit will eventually materialize.
* pg 42: Failure to Situate the Development in Larger Context: There is an obvious disconnect... if we are selling the benefits of TOD based on frequent & connected transit - but that critical component is nowhere to be seen.
* pg 43: Going forward, future tools should surely address how implementation and other major elements will unfold for a particular project over a 3 or 5 year timeline.
* pg 43: There needs to be triggers for transit first - then TOD developments. "It's strictly the housing dept & the developer partner - the City helping them to finance the project, at the neighborhood's expense."
* pg 44: Given that many Planning Depts have become either wholly or partially fee-based, it's hards to see why citizens believe there may be a kernal of truth to this accusation.
* pg 44: A Backlash when it came to a disconnect between developer promises and on-the-ground reality.
*pg 44: Bottom of page: Fiesta Lanes Action Group: We were involved with our project for three years and "still got screwed." Community feels they are left out of the final stages of negotiation.

I recently had an issue with my Internet service and I call tech support. Not unusual, it happens. My problem is that I could barely understand the technician and had to call 3 more times to resolve the issue. Okay that happens too. So today I get a call to see if my service was working and there were no more issues. I explained to the person calling that my issues took so long to resolve because the technician had a heavy accent and had asked if there was someone else I could speak too. I was told there wasn't anyone that I could speak to that spoke english better. The person explained that if in the future there was this issue that I should ask to be transferred to someone in the US!!!! WHAT?!??! i could not believe what I was hearing. I have to ask to be transferred to someone in the United States. It turns out the person who was calling me was in INDIA!!! I find this incredible that Verizon does this knowing that our unemployment rate is so high and our economy is in the tank.
So my idea is this. How about stop farming out tech support to another country because it may save money. Or whatever reason they might have for providing such a disservice to our country. The country they are based in and their customers are based in. If I put in my phone number and its in the North East US then I should be speaking to someone here not 10,000 miles away. Just a thought. Maybe I am wrong and maybe I am just a jerk for saying it. But I don't think so. I think that all companies should hire people in the country their customers are. Create jobs for those people who need them and perhaps use those services.
Okay I will get off my soapbox and shut up now. Have a great day America.
I agree with everyone!!
Why can't we just talk to an American that speaks English when we call for help!!!!!!!
What is wrong with the people that make the decisions to send this stuff overseas when we have so many of our own people that need jobs???
I just don't understand what is happening.
That's outsourcing because it's cheaper for the corporations and this is one of the many long term consequences. I can't stand dealing with that either because it's very frustrating and it wastes a lot more time. There is nothing wrong with accents because I can always deal with that but when the person's English is poor and difficult to understand, it makes no sense. I find also that at times, the phone connection is poor.

That's outsourcing because it's cheaper for the corporations and this is one of the many long term consequences.
This is what happens when we as consumers overrate price as a factor in our decision making. Price should be held as a factor equal with quality, and not the sole arbiter of the equation. Value is what needs to be considered, and tech support that can be understood would hold great value to me. Others may not look at it that way.
For whatever it is worth, I have always had a good service from verizon. Whether it be online or in person over phone.
Several years back when I had called a Non verizon company for customer support on IT related problem, I was on line with an American accented person who I could understand perfectly and vice versa but the person had no clue what to do or how to solve my problem. I had to hang up after several hours. Bashing people of a country is nothing but sterotyping of the worst order.
I did ask for a US agent and was refused and then disconnected. So much for that. All of these companies keep you at arms length. You cant get a live person, just robots who keep saying they dont understand you...(CAUSE YOU ARENT REAL!!!!!) and then when you get a human, they dont speak english. If you call back you cant protect yourself or prove it happened.
To the person blaming the consumer because we comparison shop...first you have too and second.....I could have a cheaper pkg but dont want the hassel of changing and because I have been with verizon so long....I dont qualify for the cheap pkgs that they use to lure people in! I am paying over a $150/month. I think that is enough to expect a LIVE ~ English speaking person to answer the phone. They speak english fine when they call to collect my bill! They hire Americans for that! Why? Because they want to make sure that IS done correctly.
These phone/internet cable companies have us by the nose and drag us and treat us anyway they want. I think Verizon is the WORST for customer service.
I could have not agreed with you more.this country we all live in need JOBS.we have all the qualified people here in America,not overseas.i have had that problem so many times with these people from another country trying to help you,but don't understand a freakin work you say,nothing **bleep** me off more than that.i just cannot stand these people.Verizon get Americans on your payroll,not some foreigner. thank you Also i would like to know if anyone out there has a problem getting FIOS internet.i have asked the company for 2 yrs now and they say that they are "working on it",that to me is **bleep**. i think i am going to switch to another provider if things don't straighten up at Verizon. let me talk to the CEO please!!!!!!!

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Businessman Scott Honour says he brought in more $500,000 from donors to his Minnesota governor campaign last year.
The haul was announced Monday by the first-time candidate. It's not clear how much he or the other candidate have left after expenses, which they must report at the end of the month. Honour's campaign wouldn't say if he put his own money in as well.
Honour's fundraising tally is twice that of Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson. And Johnson raised double the amount of state Sen. Dave Thompson.
Three Republican contenders have yet to give their totals: state Rep. Kurt Zellers, former state Rep. Marty Seifert and teacher Rob Farnsworth.
They're vying for the nomination to take on Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton this fall.

I was having this same issue and figured out how to fix it. If you have the allow bullets and lists option checked make sure that you also have the use tab delimiter only option also checked or it starts creating a list automatically after every period. With tab delimiter option checked it will only auto list after a tab.
At least this fixed the problem for me.
Do you know how to turn: "Allow bullets and numbering" back on?

Man charged with prescription fraudsJanuary 31,2013A Pennsylvania man who police say was shopping for doctors who would prescribe him with pain medication denied five felony charges Monday.
John D. Harper, 41, of Leesport, Penn., pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to five counts of prescription fraud. He was released on court-ordered conditions.
Vermont State Police Detective T.L. Hodsden wrote in a court affidavit that Harper obtained prescriptions for opiate-based pain medications from a dozen doctors and dentists in the Rutland, Ludlow, Bennington and Keene, N.H. areas last year.
Harper allegedly filled those prescriptions at eight different pharmacies spread across Rutland and Bennington counties.
In Rutland County alone, Hodsden said Harper filled 17 prescriptions for pain medications between April and June of last year.
If convicted of all charges, Harper faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

DC has published a lot of Christmas stories through the years and a few of them have become perennials. I'll never have anyone convince me that Wonder Woman filling in for Santa isn't great.
But what about modern age of the Bronze Age and beyond? What story walks the best balance between great story telling and seasonal message?
I'll start off with saying I have a lot of affection for many holiday stories from DC including this one:
The most perfect hybrid of Santa and Batman (I talked about this one on last year's 3 Chicks).
Except for this hybrid of Batman and Santa from the DCU Infinite Holiday Special
Which ends with this:
Because nothing says Christmas like Superman clocking Batman!
And then there's this one which is a personal favorite of mine, for obvious reasons (but also because it's sweet), From 2009's DCU Holiday Special, "A Day Without Sirens" in which we find out why Jim Gordon's Gotham City is quiet for day. (And which may owe a small hat tip to The Silent Night of the Batmen from Batman #219)
The list can go on. There's Superman #64 where he tries to grant the holiday wishes of the people of Metropolis (the letter writing at holiday time would be also covered in JLA and Supergirl).
There's Superman #165 (which having Supes giving Plas rubber bands as a gift makes it fun even before it ends with Lois and Clark going on a vacation together)
Of course, if you want to rule out the "warm fuzzies" stories you could also make a case for Paul Dini's Detective Comics #826 "Slayride" a violent, intense story where the Joker kidnaps Tim Drake. Or when Inspector Chimp from the ShadowPact keeps threatening Santa Claus (actually this one, from 2006's Infinite Holiday Special is very funny).
But of all the Christmas stories, I've read, and I've read alot, there is one that I feel best provides meshes the feeling of the season, deepens our understanding of the characters while performing Metatextual-Fu that leave Morrison on the floor playing with trains.
From 1989's Christmas with the Superheroes #2, "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot" by Alan Brennert and Dick Giordano
First some context for the story. In 1986 DC rebooted their universe and as part of it they killed off the Silver Age Supergirl. And wiped her from existence. Given that Supergirl was a pretty popular character who even had her own, albeit shittific movie, this was, as you can imagine, a highly controversial move. If Twitter and and Tumblr had existed in 1986, I can't even imagine the result.
Now to be fair, DC didn't just reboot her from existence as they did with many characters in their last reboot. They gave her a big dramatic farewell.
But after that … nothing. The official DC word was that she just had never existed.
Until this story where a character looking like Kara shows up to help Boston Brand as he struggles with the season:
Until a familiar look young woman appears:
If you hadn't figured out who that girl was by the end of the story you would certainly know by the last panel - Binder and Mooney were the main creators on the Silver Age Supergirl books.
So the fans got a story that not only showed that Kara HAD existed, that the character was as inspirational in death as she was in life. Christmas, for those who celebrate it, can be a wonderful time of year. But it can also be a time of sadness, of self-reflection and melancholy. Ten pages of a comic can't fix that but these pages send a message that its not unusual to feel this way and that being flawed is part of being human.
They also sum up in very few panels what a superhero is.
Brennert, whose entire output of superhero comics can be combined into one trade (if DC ever got around to doing it) often addressed the issues of death and why superheros do what they do. And, no surprise, they are some of the best comics including a Black Canary Origin story, "Unfinished Business" from Secret Origins #50
And here from Brave and the Bold #197's "The Autobiography of Bruce Wayne"
The Deadman story wasn't without controversy.
Reportedly editor Mark Waid got canned from DC for this story although I've never seen that confirmed. And Jerry Orway, who was editing the DC books at the time, was pretty pissed about it but did not, as rumored, threaten to quit.
And, of course, DC ended up realizing that DC Comics without a Supergirl didn't work. So they spent the better part of two decades trying to bring her back.
And then in the new 52 they just just restarted the character.
I think this story has a message that fans today can take some comfort in; someday someone will realize that their favorite character is an important part of the DCU and they too will be back.
Sadly, it too might take a few decades.
I'm not the only person to consider this a favorite. Anj who runs the superb Supergirl blog has written about this story - go give it a read.
So a few questions for you:
What's your favorite modern Christmas story from DC Comics?
And do you have a favorite Brennert story?
Wonder Santa? Yes please.
^That's a great one!^ :)
How can you not list Lobo's Paramilitary Christmas Special?!
I'll read this a bit later but the first thing that comes to mind is that Batman: Noel is rad as hell

Did Apple Just Lose this Foreign Market?
Calla is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Any upscale café in São Paulo or Rio features young professionals on MacBooks and businessmen showing off their iPhones. Despite stalled GDP growth, Brazil is a growing market for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) products; so much so that the swelling professional class has been shelling out $1,200 for new iPhone 5s – and that's the price with a contract. But on Thursday, Brazil's intellectual property authority, INPI, announced that Apple does not own the iPhone trademark in the Brazilian market. What does Apple stand to lose?
Trademark Litigation
Thirteen years ago, a tiny electronics company named IGB Electronica SA applied for a trademark for the word "iphone" for use in the Brazilian market. The company received the trademark in 2008 and released the iphone neo one in December 2012. Amusingly, the iphone neo one is a cheap, unremarkably designed smart phone on the Android platform. Apple attempted to register the "iPhone" trademark for the Brazilian market, but INPI upheld IGB Electronica's (also known as Gradiente) ownership and Apple now risks being sued for damages should it continue to use the term "iPhone" in the Brazilian market.
Apple can and will appeal the case. However, Apple's chances of invalidating IGB Electronica's trademark are slim and the case will likely drag on for years. In a similar case, Converse All-Star sued a Brazilian company in 1984 for registering the trademark "ALL STAR" in 1975. An appeals court ruled in favor of Converse All-Star 18 years later. With Thursday's ruling, the quicker and possibly cheaper option is for Apple to buy the trademark, though the Brazilian company has not publicly named a price or any intention to sell.
Will Apple Lose Brazil?
Thursday's ruling most likely put plans to open Brazil's first Apple Store on hold and could pull iPhones from the shelves of electronics retailers across Brazil. However, while in-country sales of iPhones may disappear, Brazilians are likely to keep buying Apple's iPhones in droves – just via Miami and New York.
Two factors guard Apple from losing the Brazilian market. First, the Brazilian government charges 100% duties on imported consumer goods, making electronics, clothes, make-up, some cars, and plenty of other products at least twice as expensive in Brazil as they are in the U.S. High domestic duties coupled with rising incomes have made Brazilian tourists the biggest spenders of any traveling nationality; Brazilian tourists dropped nearly $6 billion while visiting the U.S. in 2010, according to Time. The number of Brazilian tourists and the money they collectively spend in the U.S. grows each year, often by double digits.
Brazilians wealthy enough to buy an iPhone at domestic prices already choose to circumvent duties by buying in the U.S. instead, or asking traveling friends and family. If iPhone sales are suspended in Brazil, I wager that more Brazilians will buy on the U.S. market than decide not to buy an iPhone at all.
Second, wealthy Brazilians are extremely brand-conscious. Authentic Apple products show even more status than they do in the U.S.; Apple will lose few potential iPhone customers to the aesthetically unappealing iphone neo one. Likewise, U.S. brands that are not sold in Brazil earn a status premium, making them high on retail tourists' shopping lists. MAC Cosmetics and clothing brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch currently have this extra exclusivity allure, and suspended iPhone sales could add Apple to that group.
To conclude, Thursday's ruling will impact Apple's bottom line through legal fees and a possible trademark purchase. However, it will likely have only a modest impact on the number of Brazilians buying iPhones and may actually drive up Brazilian demand for the products by making Apple's iPhones temporarily more exclusive.

This project is just one stop on the way to earning Girl Scout's highest honor for 16-year-old Rebecca Cole.
"It makes me feel genuinely happy," Cole said. "I mean I'm genuinely proud to see that these kids are getting the opportunity to help someone else, even if it's a small task."
In choosing her Gold Award Project, the Bishop McDevitt High School junior followed her personal passion.
"I feel that every single person deserves a chance to be able to do something that not all the time they are able to do," Cole said.
For her project, Cole organizes work parties for adolescent children, in conjunction with Aaron's Acres, a Lancaster based summer camp that specializes in programs for those with developmental disabilities.
Today's task involved the makeover of a highly traveled walkway and the cleanup of bird feeders outside the nature center at Wildwood Park in Dauphin County. Other work party visits included the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, Caitlin's Smiles and the American Red Cross.
Ashley Harned is a site supervisor for Aaron's Acres Camp and applauds Cole's project.
"She's very hands on. She's enthusiastic. She wants to help. She's dedicated. She'll do anything she needs to do to make the project."
Cole credits strong family support for her inspiration, but her mom and dad say they just followed her lead.
"It's amazing. She took off on this idea and just expanded on it," Tony Cole said. "We just made the contacts and helped her here and there, but it's her baby."
Although scouting has been a big part of her young life, Cole's other loves include swimming, singing, theater and music.
With all that - and her love for helping others - there's reason to cheer.

My Rating
The grand canyon south rim air and ground tour is a must go.Everything starting from the pick up from our hotel all the way to the drop off at our hotel was really professional and well handled.Our time at the 2 grand canyon lookout points was perfect.Not to long and not to short(about 45 min. to an hour at each point).We got plenty of beautiful pictures also.My wife is Japanese so we took the Japanese guided tour and our guide Zippy was full of knowledge and just the most wonderful person you could meet.The local tour company was vision air.Thanks for the memory of a life time.If you are thinking about booking this tour,stop thinking this is the grand canyon tour to go on.Highly Recommend this tour!!!!!

Grr I do hate that bollocks expression about how with wides the batting side is getting 'extra deliveries' and some numpties even count the runs off the next ball as part of the impact of the runs given away by the wide.
It's complete cobblers. All it means is they get an extra run, the only other aspect is they get another sighter of the bowler.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion

"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
Kandamby likes a pie, eh?
Rafiq bowling well, meanwhile. Not afraid to toss it up, even in this format.
More comedy fielding.
Ordinary shot from Chanders there. Suppose if I were Patterson I say I troubled him with extra bounce, but looked a bit half-arsed from the great man.
Uva losing their way.
Ah, Rashid shells a sitter of a C&B. Then a boundary follows from the full bunger he sends down in a fit of pique.
Full toss does the trick for Oram as he finds Ballance at long on.
Yorks right in this.
Didn't realize this had started so soon after the WC. I doubt I'd be able to work up enough interest to watch any of these matches.

So err why do half volleys that are smashed for 6 - particularly at the death - get called length balls?
cricket the only context where short of a good length is acceptable
Really feeding Jaques with the short and wide crap.
That shot from Root looks worse with every replay and look at Yorkshire's batting lineup.
All on Miller then, pretty much.
Hadn't realised quite how merde Rashid's T20 batting record was. Tick over 10 at less than 100.
That's a nasty one. Top edge off the quickest bowler straight into cheek/nose/bottom of the eye.
Brings out the T20 debutant, up against Umar Gul after someone retires hurt.

If you have been diagnosed with Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori), or if you want to know if your symptoms are caused by this bacteria, then this important message could be exactly what you need right now.
H. pylori may seem like a difficult conditon to overcome, but we can assure you this is not the case - we provide some interesting facts on various treatments and we reveal the truth about why the most commonly prescribed treatments fail up to 70% of the time.
Your good health is just as important to us as it is to you, so we have made sure that once you have read this unique information and you have seen our recommendations, you will be able to see clearly how you can be over 98% sure that you WILL regain optimum digestive health once again.
Research shows that H pylori is present in 75% of the worlds population - that means 3 out of every 4 people are infected. When you consider this you can see there is a good chance you may be infected, especially if you have the symptoms of a stomach ulcer.
Also when you consider that nearly 90% of people with stomach ulcer symptoms are infected with this bacterium, as are 50% of new patients with stomach cancer, then we recommend you get a proper diagnosis to be on the safe side.
The facts we list below will give you an idea of the severity of H. pylori infections - and you will see how many infected people WILL get stomach ulcers as a result of this infection.
Of course the other major risk of H. pylori infections is gastric cancer, which is strongly linked to the presence of H. pylori bacteria in the GI tract as well.
When you consider how widespread H. pylori infections are, and how easy cross-infection is, you will realize that if you are infected, then those family members or partners that are close to you may also become infected if they are not already infected.
The treatment of H. pylori presents it's own set of problems. Statistics show that the most commonly prescribed therapies have failure rates of up to 70%. Take a little time to get the real truth, so that you don't become just another statistic....
Once you have checked these facts, or if you have been infected for a while, you may think that H. pylori is invincible....but the good news is that a recent breakthrough can help you to stop this nasty little bacteria in it's tracks naturally and easily!
#1 - Correct diagnosis is critical, and CORRECT re-testing after treatment (to make sure the treatment has worked) is even more important. Yet patients are literally throwing their money away by paying for the wrong tests which are still being widely used to test for the presence of H. pylori.
#2 - Most doctors simply have very few options when it comes to treating for H. pylori infections. (The prescription will almost always be a Triple Therapy, or Quadruple Therapy.)
#3 - The latest drugs being produced are designed to be even more powerful and effective against Helicobacter Pylori - - but sadly the negative side effects are not getting any better ( side effects cause most patients to abandon their treatment )
#4 - Most Doctors spend more time treating the negative effects of Triple Therapy, than they do treating the original H. pylori infection.
#5 - H. pylori is becoming increasingly resistant to the most common treatments.
#6 - Patients who have been on 4 or more courses of Triple or Quadruple Therapy - find that they are still infected with H. pylori.
#7 - The antibiotics used in Triple or Quadruple Therapies are the direct cause of another major problem, one that conventional medicine chooses not to even recognize... Candida Albicans overgrowth.
#8 - Up to 65% of patients infected with H. pylori are simultaneously infected with Candida Albicans, and they don't even know about it! (Candida Overgrowth can be a dangerous infection if left untreated, and it caused by the intake of antibiotics - the most common treatment prescribed for H. pylori)
Almost 75% of the world's population is infected with the Helicobacter Pylori bacterium. That means that right now over 4.6 billion people are infected worldwide.
An estimated 816 million people alive right now WILL develop a stomach ulcer caused by an infection of H. pylori.
Over 50% of gastric cancer patients are infected with H. pylori.
Up to 90% of all stomach ulcers are caused by an infection of the Helicobacter pylori bacterium.
Most people have never heard of H. pylori. 60% of people surveyed believe that ulcers are caused by stress, and nearly 20% believe that stomach ulcers are caused by spicy foods.
Researchers have found H. pylori in the saliva of some infected people,and it has recently been proved that this infection can be spread by kissing. This recent discovery highlights the problem of re-infection of a patients who have been successfully treated, and also explains the problem of cross-infection amongst families who are not treated at the same time.
View all Symptoms of H. pylori
So what is H pylori - and how does it cause Stomach Ulcers?
Helicobacter pylori is a hardy spiral shaped bacterium which multiplies and colonizes in your digestive system.
Given the makeup of this incredibly destructive bacteria, you will see how it's clever design enables it to survive in hydrochloric acid (the acid your stomach produces to break down food), and then to penetrate the lining of your stomach.
Helicobacter Pylori is able to survive gastric acids due to its ability to produce an enzyme called urease. Urease can neutralize stomach acid, making it easy for the bacteria to survive in its own acid free zone.
Because of their corkscrew shape, the bacteria can easily penetrate the stomach's protective mucous lining.
The 'antacid' effect of H. Pylori fools your stomach into producing more acid, which then makes your stomach lining more susceptible to damage through exposure to acid and pepsin. Too much acid and pepsin is even more damaging when the stomach lining has been penetrated and left unprotected by the effects of H. pylori colonization.
This is basically how stomach ulcers are formed.
Helicobacter Pylori is the ONLY bacterial organism which can survive in the hydrochloric acid produced by your stomach.
We fully understand that you may have already been trying to get rid of an H. pylori infection or a stomach ulcer, and that you are hoping to find an effective alternative treatment because your last treatment failed.
Even if this is not the case and you have a new ulcer condition which needs attention, then rest assured - you are in the right place!
FACT! It is now completely possible for you to safely and effectively remove all strains of Helicobacter pylori with a clinically proven 100% natural treatment.
The truth is that stomach ulcers and helicobacter pylori infections will not go away without some form of treatment. The problem most people face is that medical doctors only know the pharmaceutical options, and are generally unaware of any alternatives.
Because of this, very biased judgment is often passed by them about the safety or effectiveness of these remedies. And because this is coming from a medical doctor, it is most likely going to cause you some doubt and confusion about any non pharmaceutical remedies, so please be aware of this.
Making a bad choice of treatment could lead to weeks, if not months, of suffering with ongoing ill health, unnecessary medication, and costs.
If you don't want to consider any treatments that may fail or disappoint you, then we strongly urge you to keep reading.... you are about to learn a simple way on how to make sure that any treatment you are considering, will work for you - and without any risks.
When you are suffering with an infection of H. pylori, the most reassuring thing you need is to know is that you can rely on your treatment to work. and that it will do so without causing you any further problems due to negative side effects.
You should also know that by taking any treatment which is not both clinically and scientifically proven, or even guaranteed to work for you, then you run the risks of wasting your money, and staying unwell for as long as it takes to find another treatment that does work.
Right now, you are about to learn just how easily and quickly you can end your suffering, and avoid any further disappointments.
Ready to learn how to establish if a treatment will be effective? It will be well worth your time to check these 3 simple tips, and the '7 Questions' below.
TIP 1 - Make sure the manufacturers of the treatment are prepared to back their own product by checking for testimonials and guarantees, and look for a track record.
TIP 2 - Make sure the treatment will work without causing any negative effects. In other words, it must be BE KIND TO YOUR BODY!
TIP 3 - Check for published clinical and scientific proof, and make sure it comes from a reliable source.
Beware of remedies when clinical tests are based on a sample group of under 40 people, or when a true success rate is not divulged, or when there is no guarantee.
Applying this simple series of questions to any treatment, will make it really easy for you to get the safest and most effective treatment that will work best for you.
What could be better than taking a treatment with total peace of mind, and without having to worry about the wasted cost if it does not work?
|Is it Scientifically & Clinically proven?
|Is it Free from negative side effects?
|Is it Easy to take, and does it taste good?
|Will just one course of treatment work?
|Is it a once off expense (no ongoing costs)?
|Is it a Guaranteed Risk Free purchase?
|Will you get FREE UNLIMITED support?
If you have been searching online already, you will already know that there are not many treatments that can offer more that any two of the above. If you have already failed with a Triple Therapy or with any other treatment, then you will know how true this is.
What you are about to discover is a solution that has already helped over 10 000 stomach ulcer and h. pylori sufferers across the globe since 2006 - with a success rate of over 98%. This all-natural herbal preparation is called....
And to top it all we have published Scientific and clinical test results so you can see for yourself.

No more H. pylori... I am delighted!
I am delighted to say the result of my HpSA test was negative. I noticed while I was taking the Matula for the month of Dec/January that I did not wake up once in the night.
Some of my friends were very skeptical and some were downright scoffing. I am really enjoying telling them the results. Drinking the tea was certainly no problem at all and so much better than the dreaded antibiotics. Thank you again.
Cured of H. pylori... in only one month!
I am honored and excited to write to you today to inform you that your Matula Herbal Formula has, indeed, cured me of my H. pylori … in only one month! It has allowed me to not have to utilize any other treatments which, as we both know, can be grossly detrimental to patients, like myself, that have a Candidiasis history.
I must thank you most generously and deeply for your absolute dedication to the formulation of Matula Herbal Formula, and your sincere, keen and professional support you have afforded me through the administering of the formula. Your deep sincerity is becoming too rare these days. Please take this as a heartfelt accolade to you.
Your Matula formula really worked...
Four months ago, I contacted you regarding how to treat my H. Pylori and Barret Esophagus. I want to thank you for your advice. I had the Stool antigen test 2 months ago and it was negative. Now I feel a big difference with my health. I have experienced a big relief with my stomach and health.
Your Matula formula really worked. After I finished Matula, I complemented your therapy with Rhubarb root and goldenseal taken separately for a month twice a day. I had a highly resistant bacteria. I truly believe this was a wonderful way of ending the treatment to get cured.
I want to share it with you and express again my appreciation towards you treatment and advice. I wish you lots of health and fulfillment in your life.

I had great results from your tea!
I would love to share my experience. I am a pharmacist and was prescribed Quad therapy. Knowing how awful the side effects can be I tried Matula tea. I also incorporated probiotics, included Manuka honey periodically, and increased my fiber intake. A month after stopping the tea I took a stool antigen test. The results were negative for h-pylori. I am very happy! I highly recommend your tea. Thank you.

Eastern fringes of the lagoon are marginally covered with mangroves, while the area has several small and mammal species, and the site supports an estimated population of 23,000 waterbirds. Fishing is one of the main activities in the lagoon area, as well as collection of fuelwood, while part of the grassland is used for cattle and sheep grazing. An educational center is under construction for recreational and touristic purposes. Ramsar site no. 563. Most recent RIS information: 1998.
Owabi.22/02/88; Ashanti; 7,260 ha; 06º44'N 001º41'W. A reservoir resulting from the 1940 damming of the Owabi River. Consists of associated reedbeds and marshland, surrounded by secondary woodland and plantation areas. The site is important to resident waterbirds including Ardeidae (herons, bitterns, etc.), and to various species of wintering and staging birds during migration. A water treatment plant is located on the site. The site is used for educational and recreational purposes. Ramsar site no. 393. Most recent RIS information: ?.
Sakumo Lagoon. 14/08/92; Greater Accra; 1,340 ha; 05º40'N 000º10'W. The site is broadly comprised of a coastal brackish-saline lagoon whose main habitats are open lagoon, surrounding floodplains, freshwater marsh, and coastal savanna grassland, with a narrow connection to the sea. The site receives rare and endangered migratory species and several fish species. Fishing is the main livelihood of the communities around the lagoon, but some industrial activities occur near the site. Ramsar site no. 565. Most recent RIS information: 1998.
Songor Lagoon. 14/08/92; Greater Accra; 28,740 ha; 05º45'N 000º30'E. The site is a closed lagoon with inundated mudflats that form the main habitat within the site. There is quite some notable fauna in the area that includes leatherback, olive ridley and green turtles; some migratory birds, including avocet, terns and green shanks, are also present. Local communities depend on the site for fish resources, farming and salt mining. Ramsar site no. 566. Most recent RIS information: 1998.
