text: The Film of The Market Garden Operation. Bloody Arnhem. I watched that film with more than a little anger at the insinuations of British failings. Of the implied idea that we were not too interested in getting there⦠that we stopped for teaâ¦That is a disgrace and in my opinion an insult to the men that gave their all to reach the Paras at Arnhem. As one that took part in that operation. This gives me (A lone voice) this attempt to put matters right. For some of what is in that film to say the least, does nothing for the heroic efforts of the British army and had constantly angered me ever since. It also insults the memory of those that gave their lives in this endeavour. Swordman There has been much written about this mighty thrust forward towards the âFatherlandâ Indeed, through countless films and documentaries many celluloid heroâs have been created, and even more myths that are now: because of the power of films, looked upon as the real history of the battle for Holland and Arnhem Because the main drive up through the centre of Holland was given so much publicity, it is not generally known that the drive North through Holland was a âtwo pronged affairâ The other drive took place on the eastern side of the Country, and that was the operation that I, with my company took part in. Why was this mighty operation planned and put into operation? Well, I have written before on this. But let me recall the atmosphere of that time. It is of vital importance that the existing atmosphere around at that time is clearly understood. We were in fact, teetering on the edge of complete Victory. Everything was within our grasp. Just beyond Arnhem lay the open plains of Germany, where we would be able to tackle the enemy with our superior forces, and our air power. All the Northern industrial areas of Germany were now theoretically within our reach. Berlin itself was reachable through that Northern rout. The partially open gates that would enable a massive drive into the heart of Germany were there for all to see. Beyond those gates beckoned the golden prize of complete victory by Christmas and the greater part of Germany in Allied hands We had the Germans retreating, If now, at that time. While the battlefields were so âFluidâ could the plan work? Was it worth the risk? Consider thisâ¦Stop, and think about the fleeing Enemy, beaten to a pulp at Falaise, running for his life. Was it worth a possible catastrophic defeat? What were the odds? Yet if this master stroke could be pulled off? Then the war would be over by Christmas. Many tens of thousands of young menâs lives would be saved, USA, Canadian, and British. We would have been in Berlin long before the Russians! If it only half succeeded? Then the main of the country of Holland would be ours. It all lay out in front, just needing that âodds againstâ masterstroke that would end the war in one great leap forward. Should it fail? Then the great majority of Holland would be ours in this great leap forward anyway. The Americans had many times criticised Monty as being slow and indecisive, that to the British is one of the most stupid claims. This man had chased the enemy over many hundreds of miles of North Africa had beaten the living daylights out of the much respected Rommel, and never lost a battle. So with that in mind, would you have taken the risk? Monty had beaten and humiliated the enemy at Falaise, the greatest defeat inflicted on the German army anywhere, in any conflict, including Russia. He had taken Normandy ten days ahead of the planned schedule. The enemy were tired, having retreated continuously for many hundreds of miles. You have under your command some of the finest fighters in the world in the British airborne. It is a risk, but that is what fighting men are forâ¦to fight. The rewards were beyond contemplation. The long years of war where this country had been bled white, could now be brought to an abrupt end. If it failed at the last hurdle? Holland would be ours anyway. What did happen is well known by now, but in those long years since Market Garden, so many books and films have been produced, many of them without a shred of truth behind their stories. Many prejudices have been exercised, much utter rubbish had been written, often by authors that want to please their readers by twisting the tale to suit their book sales, until now the whole history of those days is governed by Hollywood and anti British authors. Indeed that films have now become the true legends of those times, when in truth they are utter crap! The lone British voice talking about the atmosphere of those times, and the feeling that total victory was just within of our grasp, is lost in the wilderness of the masses of films and books and stands very little chance of being heardâ¦.Let alone believed. But I try! Now having read this, would you take the chance of total victory, almost within your grasp? Think about itâ¦..You have chased the enemy for hundreds of miles, he is running for home, full pelt. There, stretching out before you, stood the wonderful golden prize of the whole of Northern Germany in your hands. Many thousands of young men lives would be saved. The war over by Christmas. The leap frogging operation up through Holland was a 100% success, the main of Holland central was ours. A few miles ahead lay the final gate into the Fatherland. The chances of forcing that gate? the final objective are about 50% odds in comparison with what had gone before. Now ! If the critics are to be believed, we should have stopped, sat on our hands saying âWe have done well, now lets have a restâ in fact, stopping the fighting. Now you are in charge. You know that the casualties would be high, but the prize is there, if it could be grasped. In fact it only just failed. Would you go for it? Or would you chicken out? What do you think? Slow in getting there?. All sorts of reasons given, except one. The enemy Anyone that thinks the German army, and particularly the SS was going to roll over belly up, has little idea of the Fighting qualities of the Germans. We moved North being fired at as we went. If there is any doubt as to the resilience of the German army? then ask the Americans that were severely hammered in the Bulge later! No matter what was there to overcome, that outside chance of forcing the slightly ajar door to the fatherland had to be taken, no matter what So remember that when you look at what is really a money making fairy tale. Never look back at what is presented as a failure. It never was. Market garden was a heroic attempt to end the war in quick time. The chances of complete success where always minimal. But we took the greater part of Holland in one great drive North. That the final gate was never forced? A great shame and lengthened the war. Look back with pride British Army. I do. Swordman

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Some 800 cyclists plan to ride to the Arch grounds later today for a moment of silence.
Jessie Mueller is organizer of the St. Louis Moment of Silence, a peddle from the Rise coffee shop at 4180 Manchester Ave. to the Arch grounds.
"What we're doing is just taking a moment of silence for Mike Brown and other victims of police brutality," she says. "We just don't want their deaths to be swept under the rug."
She says there will be no speeches.
"We're just trying to show solidarity as a community and come together in a peaceful way, in a peaceful vigil for our fallen friend," she says.

Yes, you do.
In general, when you have a dispute, you need to consult a lawyer. And I don't just say that because I'm a lawyer. I say that because lawyers, so unnecessary to human society in general, are necessary to litigation because we've made it be that way.
If you eliminated all the lawyers in the world, what do you think would happen? Probably nothing, to be honest. I would have to go get a different job -- probably something in show business, I'm thinking -- but people would still have to settle their disputes and would still find ways to do so.
But we can't eliminate all the lawyers in the world, not yet, anyway, and since there are lawyers in the world, you need to have a lawyer if you have a legal problem. I tell people that all the time. I say these exact words to them:
If you have a medical problem, you go to a doctor. If you have a car problem, you go to a mechanic. If your tooth hurts, you go to a dentist, and if you have a legal problem, call a lawyer.
Law is one of those professional areas where people feel as though they can handle it themselves, and mostly, they can't. Especially if there are lawyers on the other side. Our society has evolved into a complex one with more rules than most people are even aware exist -- even rules lawyers don't know exist.
So when the question of whether you need a lawyer arises, the answer is yes. If you consult a lawyer and the problem is a simple one, well, it won't cost you too much money. If you consult a lawyer and the problem is more complicated, well, it might cost you more money -- but if you've got a complicated legal problem, you definitely want a lawyer.
But don't just take it from me that you need a lawyer. There's a good case that shows why:
Cook v. Public Storage, Inc.
Zachary Luckett, in 2004, rented a storage locker. The contract listed him as the lessee and also noted that he was letting other people, notably his parents, have access to the locker. After signing the contract, Zachary let his parents use the storage locker for their own items.
For most of a year, the rent on the storage locker was paid, albeit late. In July, 2005, though, the rent was not paid and Public Storage sent out first a notice of default and then a "notice of lien and sale."
Many people don't know that landlords -- including storage locker landlords-- can hold your stuff, charge you money for holding your stuff, and then sell it to pay for the money they charged you to hold your stuff. And that's what Public Storage was doing to Zachary: charging him money for selling his stuff, because when a landlord holds your stuff like that, they get a "lien" on the property.
When the rent remained unpaid, Public Storage held a "blind auction:" they sold the goods in the locker, sight unseen, and netted all of $600. They took the $600 and applied it to Zachary's account, and paid all the charges he'd incurred...
... leaving $407 behind. That's right: all of Zachary's (and his parent's) stuff was sold -- blindly-- because he owed less than $200.
Public Storage then listed the $407 as "pre-paid rent" on their ledgers, even though Zachary's stuff had been sold and he was no longer renting a storage locker, so far as Public Storage was concerned.
That's when the fun begins, and the complications. (For lawyers, complications = fun. For laypeople/clients, complications = expensive.)
Zachary had not actually read through the contract, it seems -- particularly the provisions that said that only he could store property in the locker, and that if Public Storage was sued it would probably not owe him anything, but at most might owe him only $5,000. Zachary also hadn't paid attention to the fact that public storage had an incorrect address for him on the contract.
But that address might be important, if, for example, Zachary wanted to receive letters from Public Storage letting him know that his stuff was going to be sold for $600.
Public Storage ignored a lot of things, too. Like the fact that the notices they sent Zachary were returned as undeliverable. Public Storage ignored that. Public Storage ignored, too, that they had phone numbers and a correct address in their own files, an address they didn't bother sending notices to.
This all came to a head when, unaware that their stuff had been sold for $600, Zachary's parents tried to come to pay rent in August, 2005 on the storage locker. They were told, then, that the property had been sold -- but given no more information. They weren't told how much the property had been sold for and were not told that $407 of the proceeds of the sale were being held by Public Storage for no good reason.
When Zachary's parents tried to get more information, Public Storage told them:
"Get a lawyer."
That turned out to be amazingly good advice. They did get a lawyer, and their lawyer wrote to Public Storage and got them their $407 back. But that's not all their lawyer did. Their lawyer did what lawyers do best: he sued the pants off them, almost literally. Zachary and his parents (the Cooks of the caption) sued Public Storage for, among other things, "conversion."
"Conversion," as I tell my clients a lot, is a fancy lawyer word for "theft." (If we called it theft, or the even more simple stealing people's stuff, then you'd start thinking you don't need a lawyer.)
In Wisconsin, under some circumstances, "conversion" can lead to triple damages. If you steal people's stuff, in Wisconsin, you can be sued for triple the losses. (It gets worse than that, too. I'm foreshadowing.)
So the Cooks sued for conversion of their $407, because Public Storage had no right to keep that, and for conversion of their stuff, because Public Storage, they said, had no right to sell their stuff without notifying them.
And they won (mostly; things are always complicated.) The jury ruled that the Cooks' stuff was worth $5,000, not $600, and awarded the Cooks...
The jury gave the Cooks $19,000 in compensatory damages -- money to compensate the Cooks for their losses, and $100,000 in punitive damages.
The case wasn't over yet. Under the law, the Cooks were entitled to an award of attorney's fees. The judge considered the case and made an initial ruling that the Cooks' lawyers were to be paid...
Here's where it gets even more fun. And complicated. And expensive. Public Storage appealed. And they won, on two of their claims. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals decided that Public Storage was right about two claims. It then ruled that even though Public Storage was right about those two, and the Circuit Court was wrong, it didn't matter -- the errors were deemed harmless.
The Court should have stolen a line from Douglas Adams, though, and deemed the errors "mostly harmless," because the errors did require that the trial judge reconsider the award of attorney's fees. Which the judge did.
She awarded the Cook's $282,154.02 in attorney's fees.
Do you need a lawyer?
You sure do. Public Storage can give you $282,154.02 reasons why.

A great white shark feasts on a whale.
A number of factors are affecting how many shark attacks and fatalities occur each year, and most of them have little to do with sharks and more to do with humans, according to shark experts.
The reasons help to explain why shark attack statistics fluctuate so much from year to year. A report released by the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File earlier this week, for example, found that there were 10 human fatalities worldwide due to shark attacks, which is higher than the 10-year average from 2003-2012.
The U.S., on the other hand, only had one fatality- in Hawaii- and 47 shark attacks nationwide. This was lower than the 2012 total of 54.
Top 10 Most Incredible Shark Journeys
"Shark attack rates, in general, have been rising every decade since the 1900s and yet there has been a sharp decline in the shark population," George Burgess, curator of the Shark Attack File, told Discovery News. "Sharks are highly migratory animals that act predictably, so other forces are at work."
Social and economic factors are two big drivers. A lousy economy usually helps keep shark attacks down.
"If the economy's bad," Burgess explained, "people won't have money for vacations at the beach, and they won't be as likely to gas up their car to go surfing."
Best Ocean Animal Photos of 2013
Our population continues to rise, however, as does our mobility.
"The more off the beaten path we go, the more likely shark attacks will occur," he said.
Globalization, tourism and population growth worldwide have all led to shark attacks in historically low-contact areas. These include places like Reunion Island, Papua New Guinea, Madagascar, Solomon Island and the small island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. The latter saw its first recorded shark attack in 2013.
Cage diving, where tour organizers attract sharks with bait, also can increase the chances for attack.
"We have previously analyzed data to see which sharks are hanging around shark tours with cage divers on Oahu, and one of the things we noticed was that you'd get a spike in how many tiger sharks are seen in October, which would match our predicted model that you're having an influx of big, pregnant females coming from the northwestern Hawaiian Islands," said Yannis Papastamatiou, a marine biologist with the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Tiger sharks are one of the big three sharks of concern to experts because they tend to be large, with huge serrated teeth that can lead to serious injuries and fatalities. The other two in the big three are great whites and bull sharks. Most attacks, however, are by smaller whitetip and blacktip sharks, particularly in waters off of Florida.
Ocean current changes and climate greatly influence shark attack stats.
"If there's a hurricane, obviously most people aren't going to be flocking to the beach," Burgess said.
Top 10 Most Incredible Shark Journeys
There additionally is a domino effect, where changes in temperature could impact the amount and location of typical prey, which would then alter shark migration routes.
Global climate change is affecting the entire system.
"We are seeing more warm water species moving up coastlines as water temperatures increase," Burgess said. "Sharks from the South are moving north."
In response to the increased number of shark attacks, Australia and Natal, South Africa, are culling great white sharks, which actually prefer colder waters and are highly endangered.
"Culling is very poorly considered and can only be characterized as revenge killings," Burgess said. "Other countries have reduced their number of attacks using more effective ways."

Complete Results - Women's High Jump
DES MOINES, Iowa - Senior Katrina Graves-Johnson wrapped up the 2012 season on Friday as she cleared 5-08.75 to finish 21st in the women's high jump at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Drake Stadium.
Graves-Johnson started the competition by making her second attempt with the bar at 5-07. She then cleared 5-08.75 on her first try, but was unsuccessful on each of her three attempts at the next height of 5-10.50.
Graves-Johnson earned honorable mention All-America status. She was also a second-team All-American during the indoor season.
Graves-Johnson, who came to Long Beach State as a walk-on, had a memorable senior campaign. She garnered All-Big West honors in the high jump for the second year in a row with a runner-up showing at the conference championships.
The Monrovia, Calif., native earned her third trip to the NCAA West Preliminaries as she registered a lifetime-best 5-10.75 at both the Mt. SAC Relays and the Steve Scott Invitational. Graves-Johnson then punched her ticket to the NCAA Championships after placing 12th overall at the regional meet.
During the indoor season, Graves-Johnson was 16th at the NCAA Indoor Championships and second at the MPSF Championships. She also tied a 12-year old school record when she cleared a career-high 5-11.50 at the Husky Classic.

Examining who faces the most challenging season for the Texans and why.
Matt Schaub has been Houston's starting quarterback for five seasons, and he's played all 16 games only twice. You can't blame him for a bad-luck injury like last year's right foot Lisfranc issue that required serious surgery. Still, to be a big-time quarterback, you need to be on the field.
Schaub has yet to play in a postseason game. Although the Texans weren't able to hold everything together from their first playoff team, they still have a strong roster. In 2012, this should be a playoff team that can challenge for the AFC South crown. But it won't get to the postseason or do well in it if Schaub doesn't have a solid, consistent and healthy season.
His contract situation complicates things. This is the final year of his deal, so he has a lot at stake. I think the Texans will look to keep Schaub in place no matter what happens. If he's banged up and they don't impress with a deep playoff run, Schaub will get less of a jackpot than he would if they run away with the division and go to the Super Bowl.
Schaub can be excellent running coach Gary Kubiak's offense, and the quarterback and coach are probably married for the long term. Kubiak was last year's pressure point and he performed. This year it's on Schaub.

This review is from: HEC 6C28BS Black / Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: - Inexpensive.
- Plenty of room to work if you're a system builder or like to add / change components.
- Has all the normal basic features you would expect.
- Comes with plenty of screws for installing MB, drives, cards, etc.
Cons: - Documentation could definitely use some work even though most of this case is pretty self-explanatory.
- The power LED connector didn't match the pins on my motherboard. This isn't a big deal as everything else works fine. I can put a matching connector on it, but I've been too lazy to do it yet.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My ex-wife moved out of state with my daughter. I have seen her in 2 months. We have been to court twice. the judge told her not to enroll my daughter in school in California, but she did so anyways. I have missed several visitations and my Christmas vacation with her. the ex-wife told me at first that she was on vacation, but then after 2 missed visits, stated that she was not coming back and refused to tell me where she was. My daughter told me that city and state they were in. I did some research and found an address as well. she will only allow me to talk to my daughter via Skype once a week for 15 minutes, maybe. Can I get custody of my daughter based on her actions?
You need to retain counsel promptly and file a petition for custody. If you wife has been gone for less than six months, only a NY state court can issue a custody order. If the judge told her not to enroll your daughter in school in CA, but she did anyways, you need to ask for an immediate temporary order giving sole custody to you and ordering your daughter back to NY state.
she missed 2 court dates. one was because she didn't have proper notice (it went to her prior address) and the second she attended via phone call. The judge told her if she doesn't come back to ny, she at least needs to have a lawyer present. I talked to someone who said that I shouldn't file the custody paperwork until after court on Monday to find out if she comes to ny or not.
Why are you in court? Someone filed something. If you have a court appearance on Monday, you should be requesting temporary custody.
I filed two enforcement/violation petitions. I filed them based on my missed visitations. it was before I knew she moved out of state.
I think you need to file a modification petition, based on her move, and ask for custody.
What is your current custody arrangement? Also, what do your separation agreement say? It will probably not be enough to take full custody from your ex, however, you want to bring an action in New York to preserve jurisdiction (although you should already have it based on the current divorce order)
she has sole custody. I have every other weekend visitation, every summer, spring, winter, and half of Christmas vacation. she is also not supposed to move out of the jurisdiction without the permission of me or with a new court order modifying visitation.
Yes, but you have to petition for it.
Petition for custody ASAP. There are strict time limitations on these matters and you want to ensure that a NY court can hear your case.
The above answer is intended for informational purposes and is not legal advice. It does not constitute the creation of an attorney-client relationship.
As counsel above has pointed out, there are time limitations so you should speak with an attorney or file your petition immediately.
The information transmitted shall not constitute as formal legal advice, nor shall it create an attorney/client relationship. If you seek formal legal advice you are recommended to speak with an attorney via a more formal setting such as over the phone or in person.

This is getting silly. England's chances of piecing together something resembling a first-choice back division for the Six Nations opener against France in Paris at the beginning of February took another heavy blow when the Wasps wing Christian Wade was ruled off-limits for six months. The most elusive attacking runner in the country will miss the forthcoming tournament in its entirety and must be rated extremely doubtful for the three-Test tour of New Zealand in June.
Wade joins Marland Yarde of London Irish, Ben Foden of Northampton and Ugo Monye of Harlequins on the ever-lengthening list of wide men unavailable for the difficult trip across the Channel. Chris Ashton is still standing, but as the Saracens player is so far out of form he might as well be injured, the England coach Stuart Lancaster finds himself in considerable difficulties.
There are four other wings in the senior and second-string squads announced by Lancaster back in the summer: Jonny May and Charlie Sharples of Gloucester, Jack Nowell of Exeter and Ashton's club-mate David Strettle. May must now be nailed on for promotion to the Six Nations party, assuming he avoids all forms of orthopaedic calamity, but Lancaster has turned against Sharples and Strettle in recent times, while Nowell is a novice. Anthony Watson, the Bath full-back, could be drafted in, having been identified as a potential option for the World Cup in 2015.
It is a brutal setback for Wade, who made his international debut in Argentina last summer and would have played ahead of Ashton during the recent internationals had he not twanged a hamstring. He suffered this latest injury – significant ligament damage in the middle part of his foot – during Wasps' league victory at London Irish last weekend and according to his club, surgery will be required.
Such is the injury fall-out, England will take on the French with the guts of their squad ripped out. Leaving aside the wings who are falling like leaves, there will be no Manu Tuilagi or Brad Barritt in the centre, no Alex Corbisiero in the front row and no Geoff Parling or Tom Croft in the back five of the scrum.
Lancaster is praying that some or all of them will be up on their feet by the summer, for the trip to New Zealand looks formidable. England will be understrength for the first Test on 7 June because those players involved in the Premiership final the previous weekend will be in no fit state. That game will be staged at Eden Park in Auckland, where the world champions have not lost since 1994.
The tourists will then head for the South Island for a Test in Dunedin, followed by a midweek fixture against the crack Crusaders Super 15 outfit in Christchurch, before heading back across the Cook Strait for the final international in Hamilton. Lancaster has described the trip as "the ultimate test" for his squad.
Meanwhile, the leading French club Racing Métro confirmed that they had signed Mike Phillips. He was sacked by Bayonne in October after accusations that he had attended a video analysis session while being the worse for wear.

Glossy, smooth, they're the kind of printers that make you want to kick off your heels, sprawl on the top and start crooning "Makin' Whoopie." But first of all we wanted to know what the slot at the front of the ML-1630 was, so we beckoned over a Samsung gal... Updated after the jump Normally, she told us, the slot houses a little plastic arm that prevents the paper from dropping onto the floor. But it's a fragile little piece, so the bods at Samsung decided to remove it just in case any clumsy IFA-goers (ie me) snapped it off. Not that interesting, really because, given the looks, the peephole should hide microscopic laser guns that go "Pew-Pew-Pew-Pew" if they spot a typo. Just a thought. Advertisement Advertisement UPDATE: I've got you some prices for you to get you some printer love. Most of the numbers at IFA are given to us in Euros, but Samsung told us to expect virtually the same price stateside as in Europe. The ML-1630 will cost 229 ($312) and the SCX-4500 349 , or $476.Reply7 repliesLeave a reply

The JustinGuitar Strumming Techniques ONE DVD
Got a problem with your rhythm playing and strumming? You're not alone, it's the biggest struggle for most guitar players! So this DVD takes your through the most essential strumming patterns in an easy and fun way!
Once you "get it" it feels great and having solid rhythm skills makes playing even simple songs sound great! I would really recommend getting this DVD as well as the Beginner Course if you want to develop this core skill quickly and well.This DVD starts at absolute beginner level and focuses on basic eighth note strumming patterns and continuous hand movement. It then develops the use of ties, picking out the bass note of a chord and the use of the muted strum as a percussive device - along with a whole lot of handy hints to help you get your rhythm guitar techniques solid. It finishes with a brief look at sixteenth note strumming and it's applications.
There are 20 patterns studied during the DVD, each one fully explained and then played over and over again for you to play along with, and make sure you get in the groove and get it right!
I think this is one of the best DVDs I have made to date and will be a really big help for anyone struggling to get their rhythm playing consistent and confident.

Learning / Teaching Methods
This course is delivered via the internet using an online system called ELE: the Exeter Learning Environment. Students will be given a username and password to log in to the course. A 'unit' of course material will be released every week for students to work through and class discussions on this material will take place in the online forum.
Class discussions are asynchronous - i.e. students do not need to be online at a 'set' time - they can leave and collect messages from the online discussion environment at a time suitable for them.
A chat room facility is also available. This is entirely optional, but students can arrange a mutually convenient time to communicate with each other 'instantly', by means of this facility, if they would like more immediate contact with others studying this subject.
Throughout the course, students will be given ideas and questions to respond to in the online discussion area; these are optional and there are no assignments in terms of essays or other marked work. Students who might like to undertake an assignment may be able to arrange this with the tutor on an individual basis.
As this course is non-credit-bearing there are no exams or assessments.
Learning Outcomes
This course will help students to acquire knowledge of nineteenth century Britain in terms of:
- the profound changes that took place within British industry and agriculture and the impact of those changes on the working population;
- the changes that took place within British politics via social reform, and the rise of trade unionism and suffragism;
- The events surrounding the Boer War
Reading List
There are no required texts for this course.
Some suggested reading
Black, J and Macraild, D (2003) Nineteenth-Century Britain, Palgrave. Paperback.
Hobsbawm, E (1999, 2nd rev. ed.) Industry and Empire, Penguin.
Course Preparation
All students are reminded that to safeguard your own work and out of courtesy to others, it is sensible to ensure that the computer you will be using has anti-virus software installed and that this is regularly updated. Likewise, mac users who use Microsoft Word should ensure that they have enabled macro virus protection (this setting is found as a tick box in Word under 'preferences').
Preparatory study is not expected.
Students who register before the deadline may be given access to the discussion environment prior to the course start. In this case, students are welcome to log in and introduce themselves to each other and to the tutor - perhaps giving a little detail about their reasons for choosing this subject - before the official start date.

Skip to comments.Big Brother to track your medication compliance with electronic transmitters in pills
Posted on 04/27/2010 6:30:56 AM PDT by Scythian
Now that the U.S. government has achieved its monopoly over health care, new technologies are in the works that will allow the government to remotely monitor and track whether ordinary citizens are complying with taking medications prescribed by conventional doctors. One new technology described at the U.S. Senate Committee on Aging allows "pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters" which would track the patient's compliance with medications and broadcast that information back to government health care enforcers who check for "compliance and efficacy."
"Emerging technologies allow pills to be electronically outfitted with transmitters to communicate with the user's wristwatch that shows that the pill has been consumed," said University of Virginia professor Robin Felder at the committee meeting. "Broadband connectivity of these devices would allow the electronic medical record to be updated with regard to medication compliance and efficacy."
This would allow government health operators, for example, to know whether you've taken all your prescribed psychiatric medications. If you veer from the course of pharmaceuticals prescribed by your doctor, health care enforcement agents could be dispatched to your door to make sure you start taking your pills.
Parents who currently attempt to protect their children from toxic medical therapies such as chemotherapy could be closely monitored by government medical enforcement agents. If you try to flush dangerous pharmaceuticals down the toilet instead of actually taking them, the lack of an electronic tracking signal will let your health care observers know you didn't really take the pills.
Click the link on the main post for the entire story or click here http://www.naturalnews.com/028663_health_care_technology.html
(Excerpt) Read more at naturalnews.com ...
death with a 'click', how efficient
I sure would trust a government doctor to do this medicating, but hey why can't he speak English.
Like most technologies, there is another side to this, which is beneficial. Of all the things we have to worry about, I'd put this WAY down near the bottom of the list.
Maybe this is really what lies behind the push for I2, the need all this broadband for tracking every little thing about us, which health care is going to make possible ...
This is totally approriate for people who've been convicted of a crime or avoided conviction by claiming mental illness. I wish the government would keep violent crazies locked up, but if they're going to let paranoid schizophrenics and child molesters roam the streets on condition that they take their anti-psychotic or chemical castration pills, then I'm happy to have these perps pill-taking compliance monitored.
As for everybody else, if anyone tries to make you take information-transmitting pills, it's time to exercise your 2A rights in a very direct way.
BIG BROTHER! I don't want the government telling me to take a DAM. pill and when to take it.
Big Tobacco Giants to track Obummer`s nicotine habit compliance with electronic transmitters in his cigarettes
Could be, but I think the Obama regime is just power hungry and wants to control everything — especially anything that portends to control free speech..
I sure won't be taking any of those government remote control pills, how about you?
We are people, not R2D2s.
Oh well, a little Ex-Lax should do the trick, and don't wear a Watch. lol
The day this goes into affect is the day I unload my arsenal.
OK ... while the METHODS may seem totalitarian, ya gotta consider the upside, and there really is one.
This medical tracking would NOT be for ALL meds, only certain ones and certain patients. For instance —
80% or more of ALL healthcare costs are incurred by people with CHRONIC conditions and those costs (the excessive ones) directly correlate to NON-compliance with their meds or lifestyle. For example, a diabetic, obese, hypertensive, eldery, low income (Medicaid/Medicare) patient who doesn't take their meds, doesn't manage their diet, doesn't check their blood sugar, etc., ends up in the emergency room twice a year simply because they did not do what they easily could have. Those visits to the ER cost you and me a TON of money. THAT money could be saved by making sure that people do what they need to to stay 'healthy' and out of critical care units.
Now at a lower level, I have cholesterol issues that I manage (successfully) by taking a pill EVERY DAY. I see that as analogous to wearing a seat belt EVERY TIME I get in the car. If I have a wreck and am injured because I didn't wear my seat belt (as REQUIRED by law) then my insurer OUGHT to be able to say I share culpability for my injuries, and respond appropriately. So if I don't take my pill the way I ought to, I have WILLFULLY contributed to an enhanced risk of heart disease, same as if I didn't watch my diet and get exercise.
What's my point? If someone is going to cover my risk of illness or injury with insurance, they can set REASONABLE requirements on my behaviour and my compliance or else move me into a higher risk (ie higher premium) group.
It happens with smokers, so why not with pill takers?
Just stirring the pot.
Even if you are convicted of a crime, the government does not own your body.
I highly recommend everyone check the website:
See what the side effects of the medications that are being handed out like candy to you now cause. Doctors currently have no idea what is wrong with you after your 5-minute visit. The SOP is to hand you two or three prescriptions and send you on your way. I go home and throw most of them away.
You're stirring the pot with an idiot stick.
In a free country, citizens are not chattels of the state no matter what kind of spin you try to put on it.
But the corporatists/soviets corrupting our government have changed that.
Seems to me when you go in for your required 6 month revist to the doc who does a blood test and your levels are not down, he would ask three questions: are you following your diet, are you exercising, are you taking your medication. If you respond no, that is the point where a report should be made if one is to be made at all. Having someone following me around with a satilite tracking stations to determine whether I am doing what I am supposed to do is beyond the pale IMO. What is next, wearing a bracelet with your locator so if the government wants to find you they just punch in your locator code? No, I think the present day Nazis have enough power over our lives, they don't need any more...I am not an ant working in an ant colony responding to chemical stimuli der leader.
Thank you for your thoughtful, reasonable and principled reply ;-)
The mentality behind this is the #1 thing we have to worry about. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I wish we would hang them humanely with a good quality, reusable rope. Any technology that can be used to manipulate violent crazies can be used to manipulate you, 2A or no.
That business is going to stop soon. We're going to monitor you or even administer you meds remotely and make sure that you won't make any more mistakes.
Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first obedient woman. ExTexasRedhead will be that woman. We can make her better than she was before. Better, quieter, fully medicated.
You are welcome.
Your position is wrong on so many levels, it was the most appropriate response.
Nice insult, but you miss my point. (bear in mind that I would NOT agree to such compliance methods being enforced for ambulatory anitbiotics or statins or analgesics, but MIGHT consider them to be a good idea for very high risk chronic care patients.)
**IF** you agree to health INSURANCE coverage, then your insurer has a (arguable) right to ascertain if you are behaving in ways commensurate with the risk they agreed to cover. For example, again, your health insurance premiums are lower IF you are indeed a non-smoker. An INSURANCE company that you MUTUALLY contract with has a right to 'know' that you are behaving in expected or promised ways. IF you don't like it (their terms) then you have the right to not contract with that insurer.
I agree that we are not chattels of the state, and careful reading of my post would reveal I do not sponsor OR spin that idea.
**IF** the gummint were to become our 'insurer' and then require us to participate according to its terms AND ALSO implement this RFID tagging scheme, then I as well WOULD have a real problem with it.
But please take a moment to consider two practical upsides —
(1) in a hospital environment, such medical tagging can help make certain your sick family member received the right medicine, the right dose, at the right time.
(2) in a chronic care environment for your eldery grandmother you can have peace of mind knowing she is taking her meds that maintain her quality of life, AND also know of AEs (adverse reactions/events) in time to heal her.
My point is that WITH CONSENT there IS a place for this technology. Sure it can be used for evil, but don't over react.
There is a similiar article on CNSNews.
It includes reference to e-Health or e-Care which "will allow doctors to interact with their patients through innovations such as video chats, telephone health checkups, and home-health monitoring devices that relay data over wireless Internet connections":
Thanks for the reasoned reply. Remembering that I am only advocating this for certain patients at high risk. Using the same straw man of an elderly, obese, hypertensive, COPD, Type-2 diabetic patient ... 6 months is too long. Real time tracking is technically possible but at huge cost (ie in-patient monitoring). FOR THE RIGHT HIGH-RISK patient, daily monitoring has a real value to the patient and the people covering the costs (family and insurer). It also adds peace of mind.
The technology is as simple as an RFID tag in the 'pill'. The dreaded tracker could count the pills in the bottle on a daily basis and also have a pretty good guess that one or more was in your body.
I DO NOT like the gummint having a role in this, cuz I DO NOT TRUST them with the data, or with their intent.
See link at posr #30
You cannot maintain a culture of freedom when corporations have 'rights' to anything.
You cannot maintain a culture of freedom when you make exceptions to the very foundation of freedom, that YOU own your body, not your government, not your hospital, not any corporation, nor any socialist 'do gooders'. There is no moral, monetary, or ethical justification to claim that any of these entities own your body and not you.
When you break apart the most fundamental requirement for freedom, into, 'well in this case the hospital can own your body' you are destroying freedom. It cannot be preserved when people are willing to 'compromise' it.
OK. You've called BS and you've told me I am wrong in numerous ways.
So far your argument is without merit since it is devoid of substance. Although I do respect your position.
Please understand that I DO NOT want our gummint, particularly THIS FEDERAL gummint to get anywhere near this. They are untrustworthy and unethical and immoral.
I will just say one more time that (a) the technology has a place in the RIGHT patient care environment, and (b) an insurer covering your risks has the right to place conditions on your behavior when covering that risk. (you can fire them if you don't like the conditions)
The moral and ethical concerns of giving the government this power are extremely troubling.
Can we be at peace now?
Of course we can be at peace.
I simply disagree that such technology has any place among sane individuals.
Accepting such a position allows the advancement of "monitoring for your own good".
And i reject that.
So do you think the government has no right to imprison someone who has been convicted of a crime? If imprisonment is permissible, certainly trakcing medication compliance is permissible, as it involves much less restriction on the convict's freedom. And I presume you are also opposed to the death penalty, no matter how heinous the crime, and how overwhelming the evidence of who committed it?
The people can imprison criminals based on a jury of PEERS.
The 'government' bureaucrats cannot, if you interpret the Constitution as a document to protect freedom.
You are changing the subject however. Since corporations were allowed to own and run hospitals in the 1960s, the path to socialism and socialist control over us was set.
I need to take a hammer and pulverize every pill before I take it. It's just this "thing" I have.
By the way good people, if Obamacare is implemented, cancel your living will by stapling a statement to it saying; "I want to live! Keep me alive! Spare no expense!, over your signature and a date." This will bankrupt any health system very quickly.
That's why I hate insurance. It is a private form of collectivism that leads to public collectivism. I'd prefer to cover my own risks and reap my own benefits but now we will suffer under a new law that will enslave us all. As slaves, we might eat better, dress better, exercise more, be assigned a better job or mate and even enjoy life more.
I would take my own chances, reasonable or not.
This is insidious ... The death panels are materializing.
Pulverizing may work for a time, but then ...
Eugenics in a bottle.
Just wrap the pill in tin foil...voila!
The dude totally dismisses the reasons the technology is being developed. Probably because he is biased and has an agenda.
OK, I agree with everything you wrote. I just think you are not applying it to my points.
If you let your kids drive the new car, you tell them your conditions and rules and expectations. You can do this because you own the car, you are paying for it, your pay the insurance, AND you are the parent. YOU may decide to put a GPS tracking deice in the car or the kids' phones or you may not. But you have the right to do that, morally and ethically.
IF, on the other hand your child bought their own car, pays their own insurance, passed their 18th birthday, has their own apartment (you get the idea) they CAN do and go where they want to in that car, even if it is against your wishes and guidance.
Now, shifting that to healthcare ...
You can make your kids take their meds. You can make them eat well. You can chase them off the X-box and push out the back door to play. Once they are adults they ARE at liberty to do what they please.
But are they at liberty to do what they please in ways that adds cost to YOUR LIFE, and the lives of your neighbors?
by way of analogy, explore the ethics here for a moment.
A child is diagnosed with leukemia. The parents are christian scientists or animists or whatever and refuse treatment. Is it right or wrong for the 'state' to enforce chemotherapy? Similarly, a child has appendicitis. Untreated that child will likely die. Again, is it right to REQUIRE that child to be treated, even if it is against the will of the child or the child's parents?
So, if we have people (of majority age now) how injure themselves and add a burden to society by not taking care of themselves and ending up critically ill, perhaps repeatedly, ... and adding REAL COST to others' lives by driving up the costs of healthcare overall ... are they at liberty to do that? If you have a fat lazy slob next door who has a 'free' scooter for trips to WalMart, drinks too much and smokes, eats junk, has an oxygen tank and a one pint bag of prescription pills provided 'free,' and gets picked up once a month by the 'free' medical transportation service scam ... wouldn't it be nice if they truly shared in the responsibility for their health AND complied with their course of care? IF they can get all this for 'free' don't you wish there were some strings of responsibility and compliance attached?
Part of me says HELL YEAH! But the libertarian in me says NOW WAY.
I DO NOT want the gummint to be an insurer. I do not want the gummint to act as my health care provider. But part of me sees a value in getting high risk people to do a better job of complying, even if they don't want to.
I think with the new Fed Medical system people will be lucky to just get any medication at all let alone have a very expensive electronic medical surveillance device attached to every patient in the country.
With the new 3rd world economy and infrastructure about to settle on this country, I don't see the feasibility of justifying the national distribution of these devices for standard use.
Agreed. Insurance is a substitute for liquid cash on hand ready to cover risks.
Few folks have the cash to cover the risk of losing their house to fire/storm or their health to catastrophic illness.
We ought to be able to cover others risks out of investments. But that is easier said than done.
I see it as one of consent when it comes to the technology.
Suppose I have a problem with irregular heart rhythms. I agree to have a pacemaker installed. Let's suppose the 'newest' models are bluetooth enabled and once a day or continuously upload telemetry to my cardiologist. Because the doc has this info, he can improve my course of care.
I am OK with that, as long as I said it's OK to implant said device.
The ISSUE comes in when the FEDS *MANDATE* that I MUST have that device implanted and I *MUST* upload data. IF I don;t have a choice, THAT is a problem.
A tougher one is when Kaiser or BlueCross says "if we are going to continue to cover you for your tachycardia, you need to have the model 1500 implanted and comply with the upload requirements." hmmm tougher choice.
Anyway, thanks for participating in the 'debate'.
Most people equate business with the market. In fact there's a difference:
Tea partiers: market friendly, big biz hostile
real republicans: market friendly, big biz friendly
Democrats: big biz friendly, market hostile
Big pharma embraces libs cuz they lock them in as permanent players; in this way they have less to fear from new disruptive technologies and entrepreneurs. This also lessens the boom/bust cycle. So in short pharma becomes an extension of the US gov't.
But what if they hear you mention you support the "tea party" and they send a malfunction code to your pacemaker? /sarc (well half sarc anyway)
Well I certainly agree with the government intrusion part.
And in a vacuum, if the information was strictly between your Dr. and yourself and your permission was given, then we are in agreement. [altho my Dr. seems to be so busy that if a prescription lapses, its takes several attempts to reinstate it. How would he ever keep up with "monitoring" my everyday care?]
Problem is that it won't be in a vacuum. Its not going to be one on one with your Dr. It will be shared and it will be required to be reported to some database in DC or wherever.
They are demanding that identifiable info be reported for "research purposes"! What??? Thats somewhere in the massive cramdown...I don't have the chapter and verse but it is there. A carved out exception to your supposed "rights" under HIPPA [which only keeps YOUR relatives from knowing your conditions...there are so many exceptions that any bureaucrat can get the info they want.]
Now someone wants to "monitor" if I've taken my drugs?
Absolutely NOT.
I don't have alzheimers and I'm not in a mental ward somewhere. I don't need a mommy, a daddy or a nanny.
I think we agree on that.
The defect in your reasoning is that Obamacare is forced upon you by the government. You must comply or face punishment. It isn't a voluntary contract with mutually beneficial characteristics. It is blackmail on pain of lost of liberty and property.

Rosenthal Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Now, in her first collection of short stories, Various Antidotes, Scott culls from the annals of science and medicine real and imaginary figures whose peculiar obsessions she transmutes with effortless alchemy into the stuff of art. In one story she writes of van Leeuwenhoek, the mad lens-grinder of Delft, whose early microscope designs allowed him to see life in a drop of water and for whom "there.
Was hardly a difference between discovering life and creating it." In another she offers an account of the origin of the verb burke, after William Burke, who was hanged in Edinburgh in 1829 for murdering victims by suffocation and selling them as cadavers to a professor of anatomy. She reacquaints us with Dorothea Dix, samaritan of the criminally insane, and introduces us to, among others, Charlotte Corday, who mortally stabbed French physician and revolutionary.
Jean-Paul Marat while he was taking his bath. Each story is a perfectly wrought gem, and each offers ample evidence that Scott, like Hawthorne's Owen Warland, is truly an "artist of the beautiful."

Exploring Guadeloupe
Wednesday morning we drove through Deshaies and saw some staging was up. We parked up and walked up to the church were we saw the set for Death in Paradise (a series set in the Caribbean about an English cop, which mum loves). Dad spoke to some of the team and asked if we could look around the set. They agreed, but we hadn't realised they were actually filming. They showed us up to the 'police station' and introduced us to some of the cast including ...
Diving in Guadeloupe
Monday morning I went out with Dad back to Deshaires but this time to find some food for breakfast. We walked round the small town picking up some bread from the patisserie, some fruit from the market stall and other food from the small shop. We got back and had breakfast. Afterwards, Katie kindly helped me finish my work I had to do for university and also got some paperwork done for herself. The parents ...

... view- first view of any land in a couple days. My watch was ending just as the rose-pink light of dawn started to light up the horizon. The picture doesn't quite capture the beauty of the moment. Sunrise coming up over the horizon shooting rays through openings in the clouds. Quite a bit different than a land-based sunrise. Brief 7 hour stay in Guadalupe- time for a ...

We changed into our bathing suits and went swimming on the beach. The kids found a couple of coconut trees to climb and wasted no time creating a beach bar from the coconuts.
The water is very clear. In fact so clear that we could see our 36 inch black barracuda ...

Quite a nice small hotel. Cozy, if small rooms, good breakfast, coffee and lemonade available free of charge all day. The staff is really helpful. I really liked the neighborhood - it's calm and very close to the sea. The only problem I had was the unreliable WiFi, with a single rooter for the whole building it simply wasn't working.

We want to love someone
Who will love us in return
So we search
take advices
try and win.
If we fail,
we retry,
Until weare perfect
Like a boy learnsflying akite.
By his seniors,
friends and
I trained and perfectedmyself
by repeated failures
in wooing.
One day like the new kite flyer.
I decided to take risk
I searched her
Like the kite flyer searches
In the shop, a new kite
Length breath tightness
Most suitable but different from others
I did the same
Forgetting every kite passes
Through many hands
Before ready for sale
My hard earned lessons were rewarded
We fell in love
Like a boy and a kite
Hiding from every one
Waiting for the dawn
Smiling?looking kissing
I wanted her happiness
So?she went for?studies
Abroad like a kite.
You flew and flew
I enjoyed
You I imposed no restrictions
Like the flier
leaves thread after thread
darkness grew
it was time for you to return.
The?thread was finished
But you got someone else
Heigher than me
The Sky
You played in the arms of the sky
You broke the thread
Disappeared for ever and ever
Leaving behind
Wooden wheel
Bleeding fingers
haunting memories
and a question
Can I ever fly a kite, Again?

Mercury and lead are pervasive in the environment and pose a severe risk to human health worldwide. The purpose of the proposed research is to develop new and innovative detoxification strategies for these metals. Organomercury compounds, in particular, are highly toxic as illustrated by the death of almost two thousand people around Minamata Bay (Japan) in the late 1950s when the residents consumed fish that were contaminated with methyl mercury compounds. Furthermore, the use of organomercurials as pesticides resulted in the death of ca 500 people in Iraq in the early 1970s when wheat seeds treated with these pesticides were used for making bread rather than for growing wheat. While the outbreak of methyl mercury poisoning in Japan was a result of toxic release from a nearby chemical plant, methyl mercury compounds are also introduced into the environment by biomethylation of naturally occurring Hg(II) in an aquatic environment and accumulate in predatory fish. Likewise, the occurrence of lead in the environment is a consequence of its current and previous widespread use in, for example, batteries, gasoline, plumbing and paints, such that lead poisoning is the most common environmentally induced disease among children in the United Stated today. It is, therefore, evident that the discovery of improved detoxification strategies for metals such as mercury and lead would be of considerable benefit for human health. A central component of the proposed research will be to elucidate the biological chemistry of these metals that will facilitate detoxification. This objective will be achieved by using a synthetic analogue approach in which small molecules are used to mimic the biological system. Since the toxic effects of mercury and lead are largely a consequence of the ability of these metals to bind effectively to the cysteine residues of proteins, specific emphasis will be given to the application of ligands that feature sulfur donors. The protolytic cleavage of the Hg-C bond is an important component of mercury detoxification in bacteria and so considerable effort will be directed towards understanding the factors that influence this process, so that improved detoxification strategies can be developed for human applications. In this regard, the primary treatment of heavy metal poisoning is chelation therapy, but the effectiveness of this technique is far from ideal. Therefore, new strategies for chelation therapy will be developed by directing effort towards discovering molecules that chelate toxic metals more effectively. For example, multidentate ligands that feature arenethiol groups will be investigated since these groups may serve the dual purpose of both cleaving a Hg-C bond and coordinating the mercury. Furthermore, effort will be directed towards discovering compounds that promote Hg-C bond cleavage in vivo, and which may be used in conjunction with traditional chelating agents. Both of these approaches are important because they represent significant advances over the methods currently employed.
Mercury and lead are the two most toxic metals that are commonly encountered in the environment and are a severe risk to human health worldwide;as such, the discovery of improved detoxification strategies for these metals is of considerable importance to public health issues. A specific objective of the proposed research is to elucidate the chemistry of toxic metals in biological systems in order to enable the discovery of desperately needed new detoxification strategies. The proposed research is, therefore, relevant to the NIH mission of developing fundamental information that serves to reduce the burden of human illness.
