Soap Nuts, Berries - Wild Harvested, Natural soap alternative for sensitive skin, allergies, eczema, baby clothes, bedding. Soap Nuts - Wild harvested from the Himalayas. They are a berry shell that naturally contains soap. They grow on the Sapindus mukorossi (Soap Berry) tree in the Himalayas. They earned the name "nuts" because of the way that they dry into hard shells resembling nuts, as opposed to squishy fruit. If you have heard of "Soap Berries" they are the same thing, and both terms are used interchangeably.
The natural soap found in these berries is called saponin. Saponin is a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric, and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away.
Soap Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and even cloth diapers.
What is special about this nut? The inside of a soap nut contains saponin, a natural detergent and disinfectant which makes it excellent for laundry and cleaning. Gentle on the linens, non-toxic, and extremely effective - it also costs less and lasts longer than chemical ridden detergents. Simply throw a couple soap nuts in your washing machine and your clothes will come out clean as ever.
Save money, save the environment. All Natural Soap Nuts are also great for septic and grey water systems. Unlike commercial soaps, that have artificial foaming agents, soap nuts do not produce lots of bubbles or foam. While commercial detergents and soaps have marketed heavily around that visual, foam simply is not an indicator of cleaning power.
Soap Nuts are wild-harvested, meaning they are gathered from wild trees grown without any kind of chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. Saponin actually tastes bad to insects so no pesticides are needed, and the trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil.
Soap nuts are a natural, biodegradable and petroleum-free laundry soap alternative. They grow on trees in Nepal and India, but they're not nuts; they're actually a fruit.
HOW TO USE SOAP NUTS? Add four or five of them, in a small cloth bag, to a load of dirty laundry. You can reuse that pouch of soap nuts for a few loads.
During the rinse cycle a small amount of saponin (the soap) is released which acts as a natural fabric softener – opening up the fabric fibers instead of leaving a residue. No need to take out before the rinse- leave it in the whole time. Because it is a natural soap and not a synthetic chemical, it will not leave a grime on the fabrics as you would expect with regular detergent, making Soap Nuts a great choice for sensitive skin.
Don't wash your baby's clothes, bedding, stuffed animals and cloth diapers in anything else! Soap Nuts is 100% Non Toxic – your family deserves the best!
Soap nuts are a delightful addition for laundry, cleaning supplies, and cosmetic preparations!

It doesn't cost any more to have a personal, independent health insurance agent…it pays!
Not sure which plans are best for you and your family?
Health insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company that says that the insurance company will pay a portion of your medical expenses if you get sick or hurt and have to visit a doctor's office or hospital. Some contracts also specify that the insurance company will pay a portion of your medical expenses to ensure you don't get sick, such as paying for annual physicals or immunizations. However, the amount of your bill that the insurance company will pay, and under what circumstances they'll pay it is known as coverage and can vary greatly from policy to policy. Talking to an Independent Health Insurance Agent will help you to find the best plans to fit your own individual needs.

Hospital-based maternal deaths are occurring earlier in pregnancy or postpartum, while maternal deaths occurring at the time of delivery are declining in the United States, research suggests.
Hospitalizations that occur in the antenatal period—or during pregnancy, but before giving birth—and those that occur in the postpartum period, made up over half of in-hospital maternal deaths between 2017-2019, the new study reveals.
The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, estimate rates of in-hospital maternal deaths from the National Inpatient Sample from the years 1994 to 2015 and from 2017 to 2019 among antenatal, childbirth, and postpartum hospitalizations in the United States.
"Maternal mortality rates are high in the United States, higher than as seen in all other industrialized countries," says lead author Lindsay Admon, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan Medical School and obstetrician-gynecologist at University of Michigan Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital.
"Maternal mortality continues to increase in the US, and we wanted to understand trends in hospital-based deaths: Are they happening during pregnancy, at birth, or postpartum? Has this changed over time? Basically, we wanted to generate data that could help design clinical and policy interventions for preventing the most adverse of all obstetric outcomes in the hospital setting, maternal death.
In their recent study, Admon and coauthors found that over the 20-year period between 1994-1995 and 2014-2015, in-hospital maternal deaths occurring at the time of childbirth declined by more than half (56%). During the same period, rates of in-hospital maternal death occurring during the antenatal and postpartum periods remained unchanged.
In looking at the most recent data from 2017 to 2019, the research team found that hospitalizations for childbirth accounted for nearly 90% of hospitalizations occurring during pregnancy through a few weeks after childbirth—but for only half of in-hospital maternal deaths.
In contrast, antenatal and postpartum hospitalizations accounted for less than 10% of all hospitalizations occurring during pregnancy through a few weeks after childbirth, but half of the in-hospital maternal deaths identified.
"It's important to note that it appears progress has been made in lowering the rate of maternal death at the time of childbirth," says Admon. "At the same time, we know that maternal mortality continues to increase in the US. To further lower rates of maternal death occurring in the hospital, we need to focus not only on the time of delivery but also examine risks and complications occurring during antenatal and postpartum hospitalizations as well."
Perinatal Quality Collaboratives and resources such as patient safety bundles provided by The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health have been implemented in hospitals across the US to reduce preventable maternal mortality, and research has shown that in many cases this has improved rates of maternal morbidity and mortality at the time of childbirth.
With this new study, Admon says there needs to be a renewed focus on examining the causes of in-hospital maternal death during pregnancy periods other than delivery.
"We're ready to dig into this work further and determine the main drivers of maternal deaths occurring during antenatal and postpartum hospitalizations and whether these differ from those influencing delivery-related outcomes," she explains.
"Detailed reviews of each case are so important. Once the root causes are identified, clinical and policy changes can be more clearly directed towards improving maternal health and reducing maternal morbidity and mortality."

The way we work is changing, and it's changing fast. Communication, collaboration, reporting, teamwork, and even the nature of our jobs are evolving and we are on the brink of experiencing the office of the future.
I recently had the chance to talk with Brian Fanzo about the future of work. He's an expert on leveraging digital technology to reach Millennials and Generation Z, and he has some excellent insight into how work is changing.
See our new State of Work report to find out how 2,001 enterprise workers think email, meetings, and automation are shaping the future of work.
The following are Brian's responses to a few questions about what we can expect in the office of the future.
1. Looking five years into the future, how do you see the way we communicate about work changing? How will this affect existing tools and practices like email and meetings?
Work is no longer about a place we go or something we do. Rather, it's an important aspect of our lives and our lives are changing at a speed we've never experienced before.
Communication at work, about work, and with those we work with is drastically shifting from a "message" driven communication to a relationship-driven conversation.
What does this mean for existing tools and practices like email and meetings? It means tools must factor in contextual insights as well as existing social data to move messaging formats into conversation structures.
As for practices like meetings, companies and leaders must shift their focus to leveraging tools like social business collaboration platforms, messaging apps, and video to accomplish their previous goals of traditional meetings in a world of work that allows employees to work when and where they are most productive.
2. How should teams be changing how they communicate at work (e.g., technology, processes, culture) to be competitive in the future?
The change required to embrace this shift in communication starts and ends with creating a culture of three-way trust:
- Trust in leaders/managers by employees.
- Trust in employees by leaders/managers.
- Trust in company tools/technology/data by leaders/managers and employees.
To truly thrive in this rapid change culture built on trust, you must embrace what I call the "three T's" and the order of the three T's is essential:
- Trust
- Training
- Technology
Culture change driven by digital transformation and innovation requires fluid and open communication made possible only in a culture that is built on the foundation of trust.
Once this foundation is established, leadership must create an "always be learning" atmosphere that includes company driven education on how, why, and who the company is linked to, and employee-owned and company rewarded self-education on what tools and technology to use and how best to utilize them.
3. Among knowledge workers, we're seeing a growing appetite for flexibility in how and when work gets done. Why (or why not) might this be a good thing? How should businesses be reacting to this trend?
The idea that every person in a company is most productive between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. makes sense only for a company made up of robots that all think, work, eat, and interact the same.
The ideation of "thinking outside the box" is ultimately the driver that has exposed the massive disconnect between a company's desire for innovation and change.
If you want to hire people that work differently and think differently, then you must empower them to do so with the tools and processes open to trusting them to work how they do best.
Hiring someone that thinks outside the box and forcing them to work where you want them to and during the hours you require simply puts a box around the potential of that employee and ultimately eliminates all of the characteristics that led you to hire them in the first place.
This does require trust between all parties involved and that trust isn't given because of one's title or years at the company. Rather, it's earned based on the data shared and results achieved. Here is an example from my past:
As a young manager 10 years ago, I was on a mission to not only earn the trust of my new employees but also demonstrate the importance of trust being a two-way street.
As my team and I all worked from home I gave every employee access to my Find your iPhone and Foursquare data, allowing them to see where I was at any time of the day. Why would I do this?
The company policy—previously—for those that worked from home was that the Microsoft Communicator status must be green for the eight hours an employee was clocking on their timecard.
When I saw this policy I quickly coded a program on my computer to wake my mouse every eight minutes, giving the illusion I was "green" no matter where I was or what I was doing.
As a manager, I understood the root of this policy was that we didn't trust that those who worked from home were putting in the eight hours the same way those who worked in the office were and this worried leadership.
I knew that I didn't care how many hours someone was working or from where they were working. Rather, I only cared about the results of that work.
By shifting the policy from sharing that you were "green," or at your desk, to sharing your location data so everyone on the team knew where you were at allowed for us to hold each other accountable while also shifting the focus from how many hours you worked to the results of the work you did.
Now this was 10 years ago and a lot has changed in that time, including policies and procedures that might not make it OK for a manager to share all of this data so transparently.
But, the results are what mattered the most and my team was able to triple our training program in four years and during that time we scaled from a team of three to a team of over 20.
4. Our research shows that knowledge workers feel a great deal of optimism toward automation, while many workers in other job types are wary of it. How do you see automation and artificial intelligence improving knowledge work in the near future?
Companies with a culture built on trust, training, and technology ultimately empower employee-wide optimism around innovations like automation and artificial intelligences, as they trust that technologies that will help the company succeed will be implemented so that they can be properly trained on how to leverage them while also being rewarded for seeking new skillsets that are the results of this innovation.
Companies that lack the trust and training aspects within their culture have inspired an employee mentality of holding onto the knowledge they have and pushing back on change.
They don't trust that they won't be replaced by this new technology and believe the company would rather replace them with younger/cheaper talent than train them.
Over the last 10 years many companies have forced new technologies on a culture without proper training and without communicating why this change was being made, which too often led to either a failed implementation of the technology or failed company-wide adoption of the technology.
Automation and artificial intelligence require strategic training, implementation, and execution by the employees leveraging these tools as no technology will fix stupid or eliminate the need for trust and training within a culture.
Those companies that successfully leverage artificial intelligence and strategic automation will do so because they have a culture that's built on trust with a shared vision and collective passion for innovation across the entire company.
5. In five years, what will the balance between automated work and work that requires a "human touch" look like? What are the limits of automation and artificial intelligence technologies in the workspace?
Automation and artificial intelligence will transform what we work on and how we do our work, transforming our workflow from results driven to a workflow focused driven to discover new insights and transform existing experiences.
Over the next five years, we will see the implementation of automation and AI to distance ourselves or eliminate the need for many human touch points.
But just as is the case today with mobility and digital media, we will quickly learn that the need and desire for human interaction, relatability, and trust between companies and customers only grows in importance with new innovation and change in human behaviors.
I believe the workforce of the future will come down to strategically empowering leaders and employees to focus on what they do best while leveraging innovation to scale and increase productivity, ultimately creating new jobs.
It's not about automation and AI replacing humans. Rather, it's about humans leveraging automation and learning from AI to become better humans and achieve new innovations that have yet to be dreamed of.
The future of work is just around the corner, and Brian believes that with the rise of knowledge workers, an increased use of AI, and changing methods of communication, trust will be essential. Businesses that prepare now, with this insight in mind, will have an edge in the workplace of the future.

Some of the world's preeminent overclockers pushed Intel's fastest CPU, Corsair's best memory and power supplies, Asus's top motherboard, and Nvidia's most powerful graphics processors to their limits—and all it took was prodigious quantities of electricity and liquid nitrogen.
The results of all this tinkering? Five PC benchmarking records fell at the OC Main Event, an overclocking session that's part of the Intel Developer Forum and sponsored by Asus, Corsair, and Intel. Overclocking experts Ronaldo "Rbuass" Bussali, Ian "8-Pack" Graham Parry, and Mike "Gunslinger" Gorius focused their efforts on crushing three DirectX 11 gaming benchmarks: 3DMark 11 Entry (video resolution set to 1024 by 600 pixels), 3DMark 11 Performance (resolution set to 1280 by 720 pixels), and 3DMark Fire Strike (resolution set to 1920 by 1080). What's it all good for? You could compare it to drag racing: Entertainment for the spectators and bragging rights for the overclockers and their sponsors.
Using the top member of Intel's new Ivy Bridge-E family, the Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition processor; an Asus Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard; and four Asus video cards powered by Nvidia's GTX Titan graphics processors running in quad-SLI, the 3D team needed no fewer than four 1200-watt power supplies—Corsair's model AX1200i Digital ATX—to provide their rig with enough juice. Clouds of steam boiled off the CPU and the video cards as team members continuously super-cooled the components by pouring liquid nitrogen into small pots.
The 3D team set a new 3DMark 11 Entry record of 38231, obliterating the previous record of 31888 (which was accomplished with Intel's earlier Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition processor paired with three Titan GPUs). The team's 3DMark 11 Performance score of 39629 wasn't quite as impressive as the previous record of 39310, but that earlier record was achieved just a few days earlier using a very similar hardware configuration. The 3D team also established a new world record 3DMark Fire Strike score of 33704, pulverizing the previous record of 31998 (achieved with an Intel Core i7-3930K processor and four EVGA video cards, here again, powered by Nvidia's Titan GPUs).
Meanwhile, expert overclocker Charles "Fugger" Wirth managed to push Corsair's new Vengeance Extreme 3000MHz quad-channel memory kit—here again, with the aid of liquid nitrogen—to a staggering 3900MHz. (The memory on the typical consumer PC runs at about half the stock speed of the Vengeance kit: 1600MHz.) "Fugger" also achieved a new world record Cinebench (6-core) score of 17.65.

Best High Tech Jobs Near Chicago
High Profile Business Corridors
CNNMoney magazine's Top 100 Best Cities in America include four of Chicago's most successful and inviting suburbs.
These towns are fast growing as cities on their own, with independent labor markets as well as access to that of Chicago; plus, they are in high-economy business corridors.
These "best cities" are economically expanding suburbs in the 2010s that lie along two important areas in the Greater Chicago Area to the southwest and to the northwest:
The Illinois Technology and Research Corridor, Interstate 88 in the southwest:
- Bolingbrook - Number 43 out of 100 Best Cities in America
- Naperville - Number 54. Home of Fermilab particle physics lab and particle accelerator.
The Golden Corridor, around a portion of Interstate 90 in the northwest:
- Mount Prospect - Number 56
- Arlington Heights - Number 59
Best Chicago Suburbs
Bolingbrook Hi Tech Magic
Bolingbrook, Near Wondrous Routh 66
Bolingbrook village is home to over 70,000 residents and sits in Will, DuPage, and Cook Counties in Illinois, about 25 miles southwest of Chicago.
Fairly new as a village, it was not incorporated until 1965. This was after the countrywide post-World War II housing construction gained sufficient momentum to draw large numbers of workers and businesses. Before incorporation and in the 19th Century, the area consisted of separate small farming villages and Indigenous Peoples living there or passing through to the West.
Chicago and the area near Bolingbrook are the historic home of the American amusement park industry that began in 1893 and 1894. Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition (World's Fair) and its popular Midway attractions spurred the aquatic circus performer known as the Fearless Frogman, Paul Boyton, to open Paul Boyton's Water Chute(s) in 1894.
Other facilities followed and Chicago supported at least 8 such parks through 1908, including one owned and operated by African Americans, despite segregation. Paul Boynton went on to found a Luna Park locally in addition to Luna Park at Coney Island and a sea lion park. About 120 years, Chicago has Navy Pier at the current point in amusement park evolution.
Once such large amusement place along the timeline was the enclosed Old Chicago Amusement Park, located in Bolingbrook from about 1975 until 1981. It included both a shopping mall of small independent retailers and a large group of amusement rides in the center. You can read about it at the embedded link above. It seems to have been a precursor to the huge Mall of America in Minnesota and West Edmunton Mall in Alberta with solid anchor stores and amusements.
Jobs in Bolingbrook and Naperville
During Spring 2016, 90,000 job listings were gathered from all Internet sources within 25 miles of the village center of Bolingbrook.
Within a radius of 10 miles, about 11,000 jobs were listed and approximately 3,000 were located in nearby Naperville. The the 15 highest-demand job titles listed included:
- CDL Truck Drivers - Fastest growing jobs in America. Chicago is a transportation hub for the entire USA and Canada.
- IT Network Consultants - Highly paid.
- IT Engineers - Especially in energy, healthcare, and aerospace work.
- Salespeople and Sales Representatives - Many are highly paid positions.
- Food Service Managers
- Occupational Therapists (OTs)
- Registered Nurses (RNs)
- Physical Therapists (PTs) - A very fast growing job in the USA.
- Physicians - All specialty areas, plus general practice and family medicine.
- School Nurses - School populations are increasing.
- Trucking Transportation Owner-Operators
- Pharmacy Technicians
- Managers for Corporate Communications - Mortgage industry
- Senior Financial Analysts

Scientific Naperville
Naperville, incorporated in 1857, is a city of 143,000 people located in both Will and DuPage Counties and ranked as the 4th largest city in Illinois. Naperville is about 30 miles west from Chicago and a bit west of its neighbor, Bolingbrook, the two suburbs sharing access to the same job listings.
Instead of railroads, stage coaches were more important in this area. In the 19th Century, the city was a crossroads stop at the junction of two major stagecoach routes: the Chicago to Galena and the Chicago to Ottawa routes.
Lumber business and milling grew up around the stage coach stop for form a community and a business hub and transportation improvements followed closely. In 1864, a railroad line finally came through town and supplanted the stage coaches. Furniture and stone quarrying grew as industries with the advance of easy transport of goods by rail..
Expressways were not built near Naperville until 1954, but they brought additional new businesses with them. These were largely research and development concerns like Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Housing development flourished and retail and service industries followed. After the usual Inner City decay of the 1970s, downtown revitalization began with the Riverwalk in the 1980s and continues today.
The Illinois Technology and Research Corridor extends along I-88 near Naperville and is responsible for much of the location's growth since the 1980s.
Companies in this region include:
- Bell Labs,
- Western Electric,
- BP Amoco Labs,
- Porsche Finance, and

Mount Prospect and the Golden Corridor to Arlington Heights
The Golden Corridor
Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect is a Cook County village of 54,000 in the prosperous and prestigious Northwest Suburb Corridor of Chicago, a few miles closer to the large city than is its neighbor, Arlington Heights. The two suburbs share access to a large number of job listings between them, outside of those in nearby Chicago, and the majority of the local openings are in Mount Prospect.
Native Americans lived in this area for centuries, befriending and marrying the French when they arrived. In the early 1800s, some demonstrated participation and support of the French and later the British in land claims and war against the US, leading to their eventual movement toward the West.
In 1854, the railroad was established through Mount Prospect, but did not stop. In fact, a train did not stop in the village for another 30+ years. Passed by in the advance of transportation, many of the townspeople moved out to the neighboring villages that did have train stations and many traveled out to the Gold Rush.
As these residents left, a new wave of German and Irish immigrants filled the village of Mount Prospect, replacing those that were mostly of English descent. Many Polish immigrants also settled in Mount Prospect, reflected in the successful Central Continental Bakery that offers Polish inspired products.
Generally this was a farming region until WWII, when industrialization and newer types of businesses emerged. New housing and a shopping mall expanded the village by the early 1960s.
Downtown revitalization began in the early 1990s with new infrastructure, historic preservation, and another influx of new people and companies.
One popular event downtown is the Midsummer Downtown Block Party with music, food, and free family/children's activities.
Golden Corridor
Mount Propect is in the north of the Golden Corridor along highway I-90, a region that generates high revenues and contributes to economic wealth in the NW Suburb Corridor. Many Fortune 500 companies and extensive business develops are located along this route.

Arlington Heights
This village is located on land located in both Cook and Lake Counties, northwest of Chicago and near Mount Prospect. It is well known for horse racing at the local track, Arlington Park.
Only twenty-five miles from downtown Chicago, Arlington Heights possesses a growing downtown district of its own with expanding retail, dining places, entertainment, office parks, and residential developments.
The village was created under another name as a site for a railroad station that saw its first trains arrive in 1854. Business and residents flocked around the transportation hub that grew around agricultural transport.
The local economy remained agricultural in nature oriented early on and the rise of truck farms brought growth in the mid-1800s, given the available railroads for shipping goods to Chicago. Village incorporation occurred 1887 and in 2010, the community is home 80,000 or more.
Administrative, Waste Management, and Recycling businesses have increased in the Golden Corridor from 2010 - 2016. Engineering and IT jobs continue to increase.

Did you know that last week was the National Save for Retirement week? No? Me neither. Congress had designated October 18-24, 2009 for the purposes of raising public awareness of retirement plans available to them and increase their knowledge of personal finance.
Those objectives need to occur but one week a year isn't going to make it happen. Over half of all US workers have $25,000 or less saved for retirement. The good news is that it's not too late. People can learn about retirement planning 52 weeks a year.
The link above for the National Save for Retirement week website includes many resources to help people learn and plan. Use calculators to estimate life expectancy, savings requirement, estimated social security benefits and estimated retirement expenses. All of this knowledge is essential to retirement planning.
Take advantage of retirement saving plans at work whether it be a 401K, 403B or other tax code number. If you don't see the money, you don't miss it. If you do contribute plan on increasing the percentage of your pay contributing with each pay raise.
A bonus for people over 50 (like yours truly) is the ability to make catch-up contributions. This means most baby boomers can contribute an additional $5,000 per year once maximum contribution has been reached.
Do you participate in a retirement savings plan? If you don't and have the opportunity please start planning for your retirement.

Director: Gabe Klinger
Starring: Anton Yelchin, Lucie Lucas
Release: April 21st, 2017
This is more a small clip than a trailer, but I think that's smart, giving us a piece of the puzzle instead of trying to trick us into seeing your movie with clever music and chopped up scenes. I respect that, and I'd be interested in seeing this movie for that reason, but then there's also Anton Yelchin, an amazing actor gone far too soon. His death was more than a tragedy, it was a robbery, and I would love to see him in one of his last roles. This movie will be at SXSW, so let's hope it gets good buzz and some recognition.

Ric Suggitt's Time As USA Rugby Women's 7s Coach Ends
Doug Coil
According to a press release yesterday by USA Rugby, Ric Suggitt is no longer the Head Coach of the USA Women's 7s. His contract was to end at the end of December, but it was felt that a new coach needed to be in place prior to the World Rugby 7s Series began.
Ric became Head Coach of the team in January, 2010. This past year his team finished 5th in the World Rugby 7s Series, qualified for the Olympics by winning the NACRA 7s and finished second to Canada at the Pan Am Games.
Over the Summer, Ric also became the Head Rugby Coach at the University of Lethbridge. In a University release, Ric states, "the University is looking to build a world class athletic and academic environment and that is something that excites me." Day to day responsibilities were to be handled by Neil Langervin, the previous Head Coach and current Assistant Coach. Ric was to then assume those responsibilities after the Olympics, but that may change now. I certainly wish him well.
People and organizations have certain expectations for performance. It is apparent that there is an expectation that the USA Women need to improve their level to beat the top teams in the World Series. There is also an expectation for the USA to medal at the Olympics.
We live in a culture that likes winners, and winners draw corporate sponsors. Having a team perceived to be able to compete for an Olympic medal is something that will help support the program.
In a press release by USA Rugby September 14, 2105, Nigel Melville said, "I would like to thank Ric for his hard work and commitment to developing the women's full time program at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. It was not an easy decision to make a change but we have to become increasingly competitive against top-three nations int he world in order to win a medal in Rio and any changes that we need to make have to be made now, not in 2016."
Prior to the announcement being made, a meeting with the players was held.
A new coach will be announced tomorrow, September 16th.
Mike Friday, Head Coach of the Men's 7s Eagles, made an immediate impact in the team finishing 5th in the World in the World Rugby 7s Series. This year there are even higher expectations in the Series and at the Olympics.
I would expect the USA Rugby is looking for a coach to make a similar impact for the Women. I certainly hope the new coach is successful and elevates the Women's standard.

This new movement is the brainchild of Rabbi Michael Boyden.
Michael is the spiritual head of Kehilat Yonatan Reform Congregation in Hod HaSharon in central Israel. He is also the director of the National Rabbinic Court of the Israel Council of Progressive Rabbis.
The facebook message from this movement says "Rabbis for Israel is a forum of rabbis from all streams, who are deeply concerned by the drift in much of world opinion that has made it legitimate to single out Israel for blame and censure in respect of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict".
Explaining the event which stirred Rabbi Boyden into forming this group was the coverage of the recent Turkish flotilla incident by the international media.
"It was clear that many within Jewish communities did not understand what Israel is dealing with, and the complexities of issues here", he explained to the Jerusalem Post.
One remarkable early achievement for Rabbis for Israel has been the signatures of Othodox, Conservative, Reform, ReConstructionist, and Chabad rabbis to the movements mission statement.
The statement emphasises 'that Israel has a legitimate right to exist as a soverign, democratic, Jewish state in the historic homeland of the Jewish people. We support a peaceful and just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that will recognise two independent states, a Jewish state of Israel and a Palestinian state, living side by side in peace, security, and prosperity".
"We call upon the Arab and Muslim world to accept unequivocally and publicly Israel's permanent right to exist in peace".
"Any resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict will require Israel to cede sovereignty over most of the West Bank and will need to address the aspirations of both Israeli and Palestinians concerning Jerusalem, a city that is holy to three religions".
The rabbis appealed to both Christian and Muslim religious leaders "to establish frameworks within their own communities to oppose messages of hatred and violence against Israel, to work toward developing a spirit of mutual understanding, tolerance, and peace with Jews, and to encourage the strengthening of peaceful relationships and partnerships between Israelis and Palestinians".
Michael Boyden is reaching out to rabbis worldwide.
" The upcoming High Holidays are an opportunity to pass on the message and talk about the reality of conflict with their communities".
Any religious leader wishing to make contact with Rabbis for Israel should contact Rabbi Michael Boyden directly, or through me and I will pass your message to Michael.

Neighbours - the final episode: Ramsay Street residents past and present say goodbye in emotional farewell
Warning - this article contains spoilers for the final double bill episode of Neighbours. After 37 years and 8,903 episodes, the soap comes to an end with the help of famous Ramsay Street residents including Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Margot Robbie, Guy Pearce and Natalie Imbruglia.
Friday 29 July 2022 13:35, UK
Everybody needs good neighbours - but alas, it's finally time to say goodbye once and for all to the residents of Ramsay Street.
After 37 years and 8,903 episodes, Neighbours is no more - the emotional final episodes having aired in Australia ahead of the UK broadcast.
Ever since it was announced that the soap was being axed, no doubt those of us of a certain age, the fans who were glued during its heyday, have been desperately swotting up on the last, ooh, 20 or so years to make sure we are up to speed.
* Warning - this article contains spoilers for the final double bill episode of Neighbours
Okay, maybe that's just me. But while growing up and getting on with adult life meant we kicked our daily 5.35pm habit a while back, it still provided comfort TV on those days we happened to be at home and free to drop in. While faces changed, like any good friend you haven't seen in a while, it was never too hard to pick up where we left off.
Back in the 1980s and '90s, Neighbours was event TV. Scott and Charlene's wedding, Bouncer's dream, of course, but also so many other relationships, love triangles and tragedies. Brad and Beth! Phoebe and Todd! Libby and Drew! And I'm sure I'm not the only one who used to be convinced that Jim Robinson (Alan Dale, now of The OC and Lost fame) sang the theme tune. Right?
So this truly is the end of an era. And how do you end a show that has been such a huge part of our culture for so long?
Well, if you're Neighbours, you have a Toadie wedding. You create a history book storyline for people to share their memories, giving viewers a walk down Ramsay Street memory lane. And you invite back the big-hitters.
It's no spoiler to say that Scott and Charlene are back, driving into Ramsay Street blasting out a song that will no doubt fill Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan fans with glee. But Hollywood star Guy Pearce and Annie Jones are there too, as Mike Young and "Plain" Jane Harris, and there are cameos from the likes of Delta Goodrum, Holly Valance, Natalie Imbruglia and Margot Robbie.
There's something really lovely about seeing so many stars past and present appearing on screen to be part of this final goodbye. I mean, Robbie is reportedly the highest paid actress in Hollywood - she's Barbie! - Pearce hasn't done too badly for himself either, and Kylie Minogue is Kylie Minogue.
In an industry where huge stars can sometimes be keen to distance themselves from any of their less serious roots, it's a testament to the love for Neighbours and how these famous faces credit the show for the leg-up to the A-list.
A Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) voiceover sets the scene for what for many is going to be a tear-jerker. "Ramsay Street," he begins. "It's just an ordinary street in an ordinary neighbourhood... where extraordinary things tend to happen."
Jarrod "Toadfish" Rebecchi is marrying Melanie Pearson, who you may remember from the old old days, the receptionist with the, um, interesting laugh who married Joe Mangel. Melanie was a Ramsay Street resident way before Toadie and his ponytail (RIP) entered the scene, so their union brings a neat reason for gathering faces past and present (even if some are on video call).
But as they get ready to wed, they realise it's time for a fresh start. Since Toadie's first wife Dee went missing when he drove off a cliff just hours after their wedding, and another wedding ended up with an explosion and his wife dying of cancer, this seems fair enough.
However, it's not just Toadie and Melanie who want a fresh start. Everyone is moving! Everyone that is, apart from Karl and Susan Kennedy. So this really is goodbye. Or is it? (We won't spoil this bit).
Elsewhere, Izzy, who recently arrived back as the girlfriend of Mal - yes, that's Izzy, the woman who (temporarily) split up Karl and Susan, everyone's favourite Ramsay Street couple, and Mal, their eldest son - has shown her true colours and ditched Mal. Who for? Shane Ramsay, one of the Neighbours originals, seemingly because he's a man with two cars.
But at least she was honest about it, and in these last episodes it seems like a sort of truce with Susan has finally been made.
Mike, who vroomed back in on his motorbike as if the last 30 or so years had never happened, is wooing Plain Jane Superbrain all over again.
And Paul Robinson, who has been back in the soap for years after an 11-year break following his first stint, is involved in a will-they, won't-they romance storyline with Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou, who confusingly you may remember as Sophie from Home And Away).
There are some lovely nods back to the past: Harold with his hosepipe, Charlene dressed in a denim boilersuit and looking ready to break into her former home through a window, just as she did in her first ever scene, as well as all the messages from old friends. In the episodes building up to this, there have also been flashbacks to the old days as well.
As this is soapland, some familiar faces might just come back from beyond the grave, too. Of course, it's all dolloped in a healthy dose of cheese, but surely we wouldn't want it any other way?
Speaking to Sky News before the episodes aired, Jackie Woodburne, who plays Susan Kennedy, said the cast had taken bets on how it would finish. Would it be aliens? An explosion? A sinkhole?
But while it always had its drama, in the end, Neighbours needed no technical trickery, bombshell storylines, or a wedding that ended in disaster. This was simply an opportunity to reflect and honour the people who have called Ramsay Street home.
And who better than its matriarch Susan to do the honours? "Karl... I love you," she tells her husband, one last time, and I'm not crying, you're crying.
Then, she begins her Ramsay Street history book message, walking out into the cul-de-sac she has called home for almost 28 years, surveying the celebrations.
"Things seldom ran smoothly, of course... but they usually worked out in the end," she says.
"Everyone deserves a place in the history of Ramsay Street," Susan continues, and now she's acknowledging the viewers; you'll really need a hanky for this bit. "Even those who watched us from afar.
"Together, we have been... the perfect blend."
No longer only a footstep away, Neighbours is no more. Consider this my petition for a streamer to do a UK Gold and pick it up from the beginning.
The Neighbours finale airs in the UK on Channel 5 at 9pm on Friday 29 July

What Is Tinnitus
An Early Indicator Of Hearing Loss
Many Canadians experience troublesome tinnitus – in fact this has been estimated to impact 10% of the adult population. Tinnitus experiences can include hissing, sizzling and ringing, but can also be experienced as grinding or machine like sounds. In some cases the sound can be a pulsation, at times in time with the pulse. The sound can be just in one ear, or in both.
For many people these sounds are just a background experience, and not bothersome, but for some, tinnitus can become very burdensome indeed. In such cases there can be problems with sleep, and with concentration, and in such instances therapy and support is urgently indicated.
In some cases there is an obvious cause for the tinnitus, such as a noise induced hearing loss, medication, or ear disease. In other cases however there is no obvious cause, or clear reason. If a person is concerned about the cause of their tinnitus, then a consultation with an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist is advisable.

As we've mentioned before, Irish designer Eileen Gray was undoubtedly one of the most influential, and most overlooked, designers of the 20th century. However, a new Kickstarter campaign aims to put that right once and for all. The campaign is seeking funds to help renovate Gray's seminal house, E-1027, for the production of a feature film about the architect.
Read more about the film, and find out who is slated to play Gray, after the break...
A joint Irish-Belgian production, the film, entitled 'The Price of Desire', will star Winona Ryder as Gray while swiss-born Vincent Pérez will play the film's nefarious Le Corbusier. The production will be shot on-site at E-1027 in May. The film will centre around Gray's influence on modernism, as well as the incredibly abrasive relationship between her and Corbusier, which resulted in her being almost entirely erased from architectural history.
E-1027 is considered by many as one of the first truly modernist houses ever built, and was at the crux of the friction between Corbusier and Gray. Many saw Corbusier as jealous of the softened modernism that subverted his idea of a machine for living. The tension came to a head when Corbusier covered the walls with his own murals, an act that Gray described as vandalism. The Swiss architect went even further, publishing pictures of the murals and neglecting to credit the house to Gray.
The funding is being sought to boost the budget of the art department, who desires to help permanently renovate the house, which they will use for the shoot and open to the public afterwards.
If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, the Kickstarter page can be found here. Check out our suggestions on other architectural films which might tickle your fancy here.

I remember way back when, when my life was engulfed with panic, agoraphobia and anxiety - yep, for those who don't know me, I could barely leave the house for fear of having panic attacks, so they happened in the house instead, day after day, month after month.
It was a very frightening chapter of my life and one that I knew could become my norm if i didn't take action.
Panic attacks were something that would just happen, any place, anytime and they usually came with a very subtle trigger and it was usually a physiological one. My body would send a signal, not my mind, however, there was a million thoughts going on that I wasn't paying attention to which fed their existence.
How often do you pay attention to your thoughts? They come through our mind without even thinking. Just like how we breathe in and out and only notice when we bring our attention to it. Our rushed thoughts bring rushed feelings, our angry thoughts bring angry feelings, our happy thoughts bring happy feelings and our calm thoughts bring....... you guessed it, calm feelings. And yet we rarely stop and give them any thought. We just accept them as the norm, especially the negative ones. My doctor once asked me to try and have a panic attack by thinking it and no amount of thinking or trying to make it happen, would make it happen. They are some crazy shit and I guess that's probably because it is physical maybe?
As i went through my journey of overcoming panic disorder - which was 100% done by relaxation and retraining my brain - no medication whatsoever, it became so clear that the power of my thoughts were incredible in enabling me to learn how to manage them and eventually rid myself of them. It took time, but it was worth the mental investment.
The two bodily functions that I had no control over, became one, and as I realised the power of my thoughts and the impact they were having consciously and subconsciously, the link between breath and thinking came together to change my life. As i breathed in calm, I breathed out stress. As i was thinking calm in, i was thinking stress out. It became a pattern that has stayed with me since that time and helped me to respond to many situations and ultimately bring peace and calm to my life. A feeling that I just adore.
Note to self: Here's an ongoing prescription for Mindfulness 101. Keep it filled to ward of negative thinking so you can take charge of your own happiness. I've always maintained that you can't control what you think, but you can control what you say and that is still true, but you can control how the thoughts impact on your life if you tune into them.

Reactivity Studies of [1]Benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuranPavel Pihera and Jiří Svoboda*
Department of Organic Chemistry, Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic
Electrophilic substitution and metallation reactions of the title compound 1 were studied. Bromination, acetylation, benzoylation, formylation, and nitration usually afforded nonseparable mixtures of 2- and 7-substituted derivatives as the main product. Disubstitution reactions preferably led to 2,7-disubstituted derivatives. [1]Benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuran 10,10-dioxide (17) and [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuran 10-oxide (18) can be selectively obtained by oxidation of 1. Mononitration of 17 and 18 led selectively to corresponding 7-nitro derivatives 19 and 21, respectively. Only sulfoxides 19 and 20 were successfully reduced. Reduction of the 5-oxide moieties was successful only at the sulfoxide stage. Metallation of 1 with butyllithium preferably proceeds in positions 1 and 6; subsequent reaction with methyl iodide or carbon dioxide led to the corresponding dimethyl derivative 25 or esters 26 and 27, respectively. An unusual addition of butyllithium to the central double bond of 1 was also observed in a small extent producing 9b-butyl-4b,9b-dihydro[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuran-4b-ol (29). The structures of all products were elucidated by NMR.
Keywords: [1]Benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzofuran; Fused heterocycles; Electrophilic substitutions; Oxidations; Bromination; Acetylation; Benzoylation; Formylation; Nitration; Metallation.

My name is Jim, but most of my friends call me Tess which is short for my last name. I am 38 years old and live in a suburb just outside Memphis TN in the town of Hernando MS. I started my weight loss in October 2011. At that time I weighed the most I have in my entire life at 315lb. Since turning 22 and changing career fields being an Aircraft service technician to a computer engineer I struggled with weight. I tried every "easy" way of losing weight that you can think of. Fad diets. Weight loss drugs; over the counter and prescription. However, it wasn't until I realized there was no easy effortless way to do this and decided to read about nutrition and proper exercise techniques.
Your workshops are one of my primary resources to both dieting and exercising. I watch your videos regularly and check both your website and Facebook daily. Since starting my weight loss I am happy to report I have lost a total of 139 lb and my weigh in today is 176lb. I am still work in progress as I still have a lot of toning to do, but I am now very active running 5k and 10k regularly and doing my first half marathon in May. I am also following your strength guides and will start the process of building my muscles to provide a better tone to fill in the lose skin and lose the remaining fat.
I want to thank you for the public service you do.
Tess you are a true success story! Going from 315 pounds to doing a half marathon is just incredible. I am sure you have inspired friends and family – way to go!


text: Reflecting global trends, Australia is increasingly adopting unified, national electronic health (e-health) frameworks to improve standards of patient care while containing service costs. The term "e-health" refers to the electronic management and exchange of patient health information using information and communication technology (ICT). The ICT includes databases, mobile phones, faxes, computerized devices and the Internet. Threats to health information stored on computer networks are complex and jeopardize the privacy of millions of patient-care records rather than, as reported prior to e-health, perhaps hundreds of paper records per incident (Zajac 2010). Evidence suggests privileged e-health information handling protocols are a broad and complex subject area, yet few studies analyze their impact in relation to complicated social and material, or socio-material, interactions in patient care settings (Orlikowski, 2007; Westbrook et al., 2007). This chapter attempts to rectify the shortcoming, adding to knowledge about the protocols of privileged-information handling and informing national e-health framework strategies (Table 1).

But legal experts say that plaintiffs in a series of lawsuits brought against the state of Colorado for its marijuana regulation regime face slim chances of succeeding -- if the courts agree to hear them at all.The attorneys general of Nebraska and Oklahoma kicked off the legal attacks in December. They're arguing that Colorado's law violates the Controlled Substances Act, which dictates federal drug policy. Their lawsuit contends that "the State of Colorado has created a dangerous gap in the federal drug control system enacted by the United States Congress. Marijuana flows from this gap into neighboring states, undermining Plaintiff States' own marijuana bans, draining their treasuries, and placing stress on their criminal justice systems." Under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, the CSA takes precedence over Colorado's state law if the two are in conflict as the plaintiffs argue. Colorado says weed is legal, but the CSA says it isn't. Open-and-shut case, right?Actually, no. "The regulatory regime that Colorado has put in place is not preempted by the Controlled Substances Act," legal professor Sam Kamin, who was part of the task force implementing Colorado's marijuana laws, said in an interview. "I expect those claims to fail." The issue? The Controlled Substances Act dictates federal drug policy -- but it in no way compels states to enforce that policy."Congress has no power to compel states to prohibit the cultivation, possession and transfer of marijuana," according to Randy Barnett, an attorney who litigated a Supreme Court case exploring the limits of the CSA. "In the absence of such state prohibition, all such activities are completely legal under state law, notwithstanding that they are illegal under federal law," he writes. Professor Robert Mikos of Vanderbilt University agrees. "The claim is that Colorado can't legalize marijuana because it's forbidden under federal law. That's wrong," he said in an interview. "The federal government can't force Colorado to criminalize a drug. That would be commandeering, and the court has said that's not constitutional."Under current law, federal agents are welcome to waltz in to a state and bust any "legal" marijuana operation they find. But the DEA can't task state and local authorities with enforcing federal law. From that standpoint, state-level marijuana operations are in perfect comportment with the CSA.The same notion of a state/federal conflict animates the most recent lawsuit against Colorado's laws, filed by a group of Colorado and out-of-state sheriffs. In a statement, Lamar County Sheriff Justin Smith said "this suit is about one thing — the rule of law," according to The Cannabist. "The Colorado Constitution mandates that all elected officials, including sheriffs, swear an oath of office to uphold both the United States as well as the Colorado Constitutions." The sheriffs maintain that because the Colorado Constitution legalizes marijuana while the Controlled Substances Act prohibits it, they cannot properly uphold both oaths.The primary innovation of the sheriffs' lawsuit is more poetic than legal: they claim that Colorado's law has given them a "crisis of conscience," whereby they're forced to choose to uphold either the state or federal constitution. But the primary problem with the sheriffs' lawsuit is the same as the Oklahoma and Nebraska lawsuit: Colorado's laws aren't actually in conflict with the CSA.Setting aside the lack of legal merit, a larger issue with the CSA lawsuits is that even if the plaintiffs win, they'll lose. The reason is that all they could possibly accomplish is the removal of Colorado's current legal regulations on the marijuana trade. But marijuana's legal status would remain, meaning that the plant would be completely unregulated. It would be "a wild west scenario," according to Vanderbilt's Robert Mikos. Any individual could grow, buy, sell or consume any quantity of marijuana without restriction. And nobody wants that, especially not the legalization opponents filing these suits.There's a third set of lawsuits against Colorado on the books. These are different from the other two, in that they're not challenging the legality of Colorado's laws under the CSA. Rather, two property owners have filed cases under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), claiming that marijuana dispensaries that haven't even been built yet are hurting their property values. These lawsuits are frankly a little bizarre -- "filing lawsuits under RICO to deal with this issue is a bit more 'LA Law' than it is real law," according to Brookings Institution political scientist John Hudak. And indeed it's hard to think of a less sympathetic set of plaintiffs."From our property you can see the Green Horn Valley, Pikes Peak to the north and the Spanish Peaks to the south," plaintiff Hope Reilly wrote in a statement reported by The Cannabist. "We bought our land in part for those spectacular views, but now they are marred by the sight of an illegal drug conspiracy at our doorstep. The impact of this on our property is devastating."The aim of the RICO act is "the elimination of the infiltration of organized crime and racketeering into legitimate organizations operating in interstate commerce." The idea is that if an illegal operation is harming your business or property interests, you can sue to protect them. In the Colorado cases the plaintiffs contend that marijuana businesses are illegal operations under federal law, and hence can be prosecuted under RICO for harming their interests.Legal scholars say the RICO claims are more complicated than the CSA lawsuits. A RICO case might have a chance of succeeding if brought by the right claimants, according Robert Mikos. But courts have been very particular about the types of plaintiffs who they've allowed to bring RICO suits."It's not clear that [the current plaintiffs] are actually the ones who Congress meant to benefit through RICO or CSA. It is very difficult to satisfy the civil RICO standing requirements, and I am very skeptical that these plaintiffs would be," he said. Rather, he thinks that a plaintiff like a large drug company could argue that a medical marijuana dispensary is selling "drugs" not approved by the FDA, which would be harmful to its business. But even then, the plaintiffs would face an uphill battle in the courts.Most of the cases above are being financed by hardline anti-drug organizations that in recent years have found themselves well outside of the mainstream criminal justice debate.The sheriffs' lawsuit, for instance, is bankrolled by the Drug Free America Foundation. Among other things, this group advocates for broadening mandatory drug tests for public school students. The Foundation arose from the ashes of "Straight, Incorporated," a coercive "drug rehabilitation" program for teens that faced numerous allegations of abuse and settled out of court to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars before closing its doors in 1993.And the RICO cases are funded by the Safe Streets Alliance, a tough-on-crime organization that aims to increase prison sentences in an era of deep skepticism over the merits of lengthy prison terms."This is the last hurrah for a lot of individuals in the anti-marijuana community," according to the Brookings Institution's John Hudak. "It's pretty clear that they've lost the battle for public opinion."Christopher Ingraham writes about politics, drug policy and all things data. He previously worked at the Brookings Institution and the Pew Research Center.Source: Washington Post (DC) Author: Christopher IngrahamPublished: March 11, 2015Copyright: 2015 Washington Post CompanyContact: letters washpost.com Website: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ URL: http://drugsense.org/url/lq0Yk9ZECannabisNews -- Cannabis Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/cannabis.shtml Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Comment #3 posted by jetblackchemist on March 15, 2015 at 19:34:36 PT Interesting... Pretty curious how a bunch of out of state non citizen sheriffs think they have right to say anything about laws passed by voters... in a state of which they are not a resident. Free speech is one thing, but their job title does not extended any more than anyone else, off the clock and out of state. So some out of state civilians are unhappy with another states law(s)? Cry me a river.I am sure using their title in another state to represent personal belief is against a law though.

The impact of this on our property is devastating."These people see Cheech and Chong running back and forth across their front yard in their dreams and they don't know what it means!Opponents of legalization have bought in to the idea that if one acquiesces to keep one's mouth shut about what one knows to be the truth, then one may expect a comfortable (if not downright cushy) retirement on the beach at the other end.Well, that "other end" is here, and instead of satisfying careers as useful public servants, Politicians now find themselves presiding over what can only be described as a "Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Clausterfokken" - with no exit in sight!Whether the subject is cannabis re-legalization, fiscal policy (QE4 will be required before interest rates will be allowed to rise because you can't taper a Ponze scheme) the mid-East (now that Congress has invited everyone to bash ongoing diplomatic talks between the President and Iran) or whether Hillary should have her own server - this pervasive, persistent fog of corporate war is what gave "Foggy Bottom" its name.FREE THE PRISONER OF SCHEDULE ONE!CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE!MONEY IS NOT SPEECH!SUPPORT www.movetoamend.org ! [ Post Comment ] Comment #1 posted by kaptinemo on March 12, 2015 at 07:26:19 PT: This suit proves how dangerous the DrugWar is ...and how dangerous DrugWarriors are...to democracy.All these long, hard, cold years in the social wilderness the drug law reformers were warning of these days coming. All of this was predicted, here, at CNEWS, waaaaay back in 2001. There was only one way, one direction all this consolidation of power in the hands of DrugWarriors would lead to. And here it is. It's coming to a head. Too many powers accrued to the Feds, too many rights sacrificed to 'make us safe'...and here's the logical, rational, predictable - and predicted - result. Little by little, law by law, incident by incident, the power balance between State and individual has been eroded by the DrugWar, with almost all power now being vested in The State. George Washington warned us long ago when he said that government is like fire; it can be a useful servant or a fearful master. The servant seeks to become the master, now. Time to put it back in it's place, and this is just the issue to do that. [ Post Comment ] Post Comment

Letter sent to United CEO Jeff Smisek
Flight scheduled for 5 July 2012
I want to register a complaint about recent arrangements on United for a trip to Maui on July 5, 2012. I have been a loyal United customer for many years, flying domestic and international routes many times. Over the years I have been frustrated by frequent schedule and seating changes. Once again this has raised its ugly head!
You will see that I have flights scheduled through September of this year. I have Multiple Sclerosis and the wife has had recent knee replacement surgery. We always book a bulkhead for our comfort, in Economy Plus. We used to fly Business Class, but the cost is now completely ridiculous.
At any rate, we booked six tickets to Maui. All Economy Plus seats. I held Elite Status at the time I booked this flight. I am not sure what level my status is now as I have not received a new Mileage Plus care since January 2010.
(passenger describes how the current booking arrangement separates family members, including a child)
I spent hours on the phone, mostly waiting to talk to a live person, but to no avail. I was finally transferred to an offshore facility in the Philippines. I talked to two nice ladies, one a supervisor neither who could resolve this issue. I was told by the first CSR named Leri, that customer relations could not call me back. Does the phone only work one way? The supervisor I spoke with said she (Mejia V02873) would have Customer Relations call me on Monday, April 16. Never got the call.
I booked Economy Plus seats, sitting together with my wife daughter and her family. What are you going to do about this? I understand the complexity of merging two airlines. Perhaps this is a result of putting a Continental Airframe on this flight. I had a contract with you and you have not honored it. I pray your organization does not screw up my travel arrangements in September.
