'Asian' business culture? The concept oversimplifies issues
ARE "cultural differences" sometimes oversimplified and used as an excuse for sub-optimal management practices and poor corporate governance in both the "West", and in Asia (or the "East")?
Let me make clear at the outset that I am not arguing there are no such things as cultural differences; clearly there are and, equally clearly, some of the models that have been developed can be very helpful in describing those differences on an aggregate level.
The cultural argument in business, as espoused by some, typically runs as follows:
" 'Asia' or the 'East' is 'different' from the 'West', and ...
... 'Asian' GDP growth has been faster than that in the 'West', so ...
... 'Asia' is the source of growth for the world in the future, therefore ...
... 'Asian' approaches must be the best, consequently ...
... 'Western' models have little to teach or contribute to 'Asia', because ...
... connections and interpersonal relationships are more important in 'Asia' than legal structures, therefore ...
... 'Western' style management, and corporate governance approaches not only won't work, they shouldn't even be attempted."
Such arguments may grow from an adoption of moral relativism - the idea that a person's beliefs, values and practices should be understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be judged against the criteria of another.
However, arguments that substantially follow the logic above may muddle, over-simplify or ignore a number of important issues. Some of the key issues and their implications are as follows:
"Asia" is a flexible geographical concept. At its most extensive, it can be considered as stretching from Iran in the West to the Bering Straits in the East, from the Arctic Ocean in the North to Papua New Guinea in the South. It covers about 30 per cent of the Earth's land area and is home to about 60 per cent of the world's population.
"Asia" has a wide variety of ethnicities, languages and climates. It has countries at widely differing stages of development with very different histories. There are adherents of every world religion, countries that are mono-cultural, and countries that are multi-cultural. "Asian" governments range from theocratic autocracy, through democracies to peoples' republics. Frankly, it doesn't take much cultural awareness to know that the business and national cultures in, for example, Japan, China, India, Indonesia and Pakistan are very different.
Useful generalisations about "Asian" culture are not possible.
Much of the economic growth in Asia has been driven by the industrialisation of previously agricultural economies. It is well known that moving any individual from agricultural work to industrial work leads to an improvement in their productivity, and to an increase in demand for goods and services; in turn, GDP increases. When the industrialisation process is sufficiently advanced, economic growth slows to be more in line with other developed economies because productivity and demand growth slow. Just look at Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan for examples.
Higher Asian historical growth rates may not be primarily due to different management practices, and may have more to do with economics than culture.
The way people interact and behave on average does differ between nations, but this is average behaviour. It encompasses a very wide range of individual behaviours between those who belong to the same nationality, which are impacted by economic grouping, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, occupation, social class, education, personality traits and many other factors. Individual behaviour has many determinants and is very variable. Individuals' experiences, and motivations at a particular time, and /or in a specific situation also affect the way that they behave.
Any one aspect of culture is not, usually, a useful predictor of individual or collective behaviour in any given situation.
In debates about the influence of culture on management practices, it is often said that Asian societies are much more dependent on connections in the functioning of, inter alia, businesses than Western ones. I'm not fully convinced of this generalisation, but many accept it, and propose that it be used as a guide for management practices in "Asia". If the importance of connections is adopted as a primary consideration in the management of organisations, the dangers of corruption (the misallocation of resources to less viable activities for personal gain), and the undermining of meritocracy (in favour of appointments, performance assessments and rewards based on criteria not related to business goals or an individual's effectiveness) need to be recognised, and addressed as potential risks.
What, undoubtedly, needs to vary in dealing with different groups is the style of communication, but this is not solely affected by any one aspect of difference. For example, the way that a pay review is communicated to site workers in a coal-mining operation in Indonesia is necessarily very different from the way that redundancies would be best communicated to senior managers of an investment bank in Korea, and it seems obvious that national culture is not the only criterion for determining the best approach in either case.
Managers need to understand the nitty-gritty of the situation in which they are working and devise strategic and operational plans that take account of all the important factors.
Some have argued that the very nature of what constitutes good governance is changed in different cultural settings.
Corporate governance generally addresses agency problems or divergences of interest between stakeholders (manufacturers vs customers, managers vs shareholders, companies vs governments, companies vs communities, and so on). These problems manifest in a variety of guises in different jurisdictions at different times; for example, executive pay in some, related-party transactions, and/or cartel behaviour in others. Investopedia has a useful definition of "good" corporate governance, which it sees as essentially an attempt to balance the interests of a company's many stakeholders.
The dominant approach to corporate governance (often called a "Western" approach) is based on:
- Clear property rights,
- Enforceable contracts,
- Transparency, and
- An independent, and expeditious legal system
The underlying features described above provide a framework for business relationships that is independent of the influence of connections to ensure fair dealing, and they support legislative and regulatory actions in jurisdictions intended to limit the ability of agents to further their own interests at the expense of others. By such means, it is hoped the confidence of investors, the community, and other stakeholders in businesses will be enhanced. Such features, together with the innovations of limited liability, and the joint stock company, were the necessary conditions that allowed Western businesses to thrive.
Connections become especially important in jurisdictions where there is a lack of transparency, no clear property rights, no trust in contracts and no faith that the legal system or institutions, to enforce them. That increases the tendency of individuals to rely on "feudal protectors" to enforce their rights; the Godfather movies give a picture of how that works!
Of course, the dominant approach doesn't always prevent problems, as can be seen from the long history of corporate scandals, but it makes redress possible for those who are abused, and creates potential penalties and risk to discourage the ill-intentioned.
The long-term attractiveness of different jurisdictions and/or businesses as investment destinations are impacted by considerations that are not directly related to culture (except insofar as culture hinders, or encourages, transparency, the enjoyment of property rights, the enforcement of contracts and the impartial functioning of the legal system).
Understanding cultural differences, in the widest sense, is important for directors and managers. It is part of understanding the business environment. However, a rigorous approach to understanding the parameters and the limits of culture as a predictor of behaviour, and the variety of factors that impact the behaviour of individuals and organisations is beneficial in most situations. It seems unwise to use culture as an excuse to throw out established principles of good governance and good management.

South India is one of the regions in the world that has the highest background radiation levels. In this region, river sediments are used in large quantities as building material. Therefore, the knowledge of the radionuclides distribution in such sediments is important for assessing their potential adverse effects on humans residing in buildings made of sediment material. For this goal, we focus on the determination of the natural radioactivity levels and magnetic properties in sediment samples collected from 33 locations along the southwestern Bharathapuzha river originating from the Anamalai hills. The sediment samples were subdivided into two categories according to particle size. It is observed that the average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in sediment samples varied greatly with granulometric and geological differences. The average values of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K and its associated radiological hazard parameters for category II samples (particle size between 149 μm and 2 mm) were lower than category I sediment samples (bulk samples). Moreover, the average radionuclide activity concentrations (except for 40K) and the calculated radiation hazard parameters are higher in the lowland region compared to the highland and the midland regions. The mass-specific magnetic susceptibility values ranged widely along the river, as well as between physiographic regions, e.g., average values for category I sediment samples were 950.2 × 10−8, 351.1 × 10−8 and 131.8 × 10−8 m3 kg−1 (for high-, mid- and lowland regions, respectively). Differences between physiographic regions and sediment fractions from both radioactivity determinations and magnetic parameters were analyzed with statistical tests and multivariate analysis, which showed the advantages of using both independent techniques. © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

For Resurrection Sunday at Midvalley Bible Church we included a Continental Breakfast before the Worship Celebration. Good thing we didn't plan a Sunrise Gathering because it would have been snowed out here in Utah. For the occasion we had a choir sing two very moving songs: "How Beautiful the Body of Christ" and "It is Finished--Just Begun."
Ken spoke on Matthew 27:62 ff about "The Great Cover Up." So many ironies in that brief passage:
1 - Religious leaders condemned Jesus for breaking the Sabbath; yet they met together on that Sabbath to carry out the business of securing the tomb (27:62).
2 - Religious leaders did not believe in Christ but must have believed what He said about rising after three days (27:63). They secured the grave so His disciples could not steal the body. Little did they know that the disciples had forgotten Jesus' prediction and thought He would stay dead!
3 - They called Jesus "that deceiver" (27:63) but that's what they became (28:11-14).
4 - They set a guard over a dead person so He couldn't get out! (They believed ABOUT Jesus but not IN Jesus.) and also they didn't want disciples to steal the body and claim that Jesus had risen, yet that's exactly what they told the guards to spread around.
Although the religious leaders thought Jesus' prediction a hoax, when it came true, rather than believe it, they started propagating a hoax (28:13).
5 - The women who heard the angel ran back to the city (28:8) shortly after the guards who saw the angel ran back to the city (28:4 & 11). Both groups had the exact same news. The guards were told to cover it up (28:13-15); the disciples were told to disperse it (28:19-20).
6 - It wasn't that religious leaders COULD not believe, but they WOULD not believe. They rejected Christ. They even made up false doctrines about Him. And the men who spread the false teaching made lots of money doing that (28:15). This same thing is happening today. Sadly, people would rather believe a lie than The Truth.
In conclusion, the stone was not rolled away for Jesus to come out (He could go through stone walls--John 20:20 & 26) but so people could see in. Jesus is risen indeed. We put our faith in Him for everlasting spiritual life.

Days after a technical fault in the Delhi Metro's Yellow Line led to chaos, services were impacted on a portion of the Violet Line on Saturday morning due to "waterlogging".
Train services from Mandi House to Kashmere Gate were operated on a single line from 11.25 am to 11.50 am due to a minor signalling issue.
A statement from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) read, "In the morning, some water-logging was also observed in the Kashmere Gate-Lal Quila section, due to which trains were moving at a restricted speed till 11.15 am."
An official said that some minor seepage in the underground sections can occur occasionally "and the system is well equipped to handle such occurrences".
The Yellow Line snag a few days ago had brought the city to a standstill, after thousands were stuck inside two Metro trains for over an hour. The issue had led to trains running late and traffic jams across the city.

Recap from the previous post!
…It would take joining a Facebook group for people adopted from Colombia, numerous hours of reading about the industry that is adoption, re-reading my own adoption documents countless times, and watching an episode of a show on Netflix dealing with the dark side of adoption, to throw me into the process of coming out of the fog, and opening the lid to Pandora's box…
Around the same time as I decided to order the DNA-test and possibly start searching for my first family, it hit me to look for groups on facebook for people who are adopted from Colombia, like me. I found a few, requested to join one, was accepted in and was struck right away by how many members it had. In this one group called "Adopted from Colombia", there were about 1500 members. 1500 fellow adoptees, from Colombia, in one group! In the matter of a second, I went from being alone in my adoption experience, which I was still not comfortable talking about, to being part of a group of 1500 people, adopted from the same country as I. I read stories of people searching for family, I read posts about people having found their family, I read about things I had never heard about. Terms like trauma and loss were mentioned frequently. People were talking about adoption in negative terms, with negative consequences, using terms like corruption, falsification, and victims (the adoptees being the victims in the situation). At first, I couldn't relate. I rejected the idea of adoption being an industry filled with corruption. I was reluctant to hear about adoption being possible only after trauma in the form of separation. I was not ready to hear about the lies, the falsification, nor me possibly being a victim of all of it.
I started looking up information. I started to talk to the people in the group. The more I read, the more stories I heard of people finding their first families – only to find out that they were not given up for adoption willingly by their first mothers – the more difficult it became to deny that my adoption documents might be telling the truth, and they might be just as well be a lie. Colombia in the mid-eighties was a country filled with unrest, filled with violence, and filled with corruption. Without going into a history lesson, Colombia at the time that I was born, and adopted, was the country of Pablo Escobar, the Guerillas and the Paramilitaries. In the show Narcos, there is a scene where the cops storm a house and there is a shootout between some criminals and the cops. Everyone in the house is shot dead, and when the cops enter the house afterward, they find a baby sitting in the middle of one of the rooms. Seeing that image, of that baby, alone because the parents are shot dead instantly made me think of myself. Was that my story?
As I heard more and more stories of fellow adoptees reuniting with their first family, finding out they were always wanted, loved and longed for, that their adoption was never supposed to have happened, and did so only because a few people made a lot of money on making babies available for couples abroad who wanted to adopt, thinking they would be adopting a baby that needed a home, not a baby that was stolen from his or her mother, the fog started to lift. I started understanding the terms that were being used in the discussion among adoptees. I started to see the other two sides of adoption, that don't talk about adoption as a win-win, or as a couple wanting a baby and a baby needing a home, as being the unselfish thing for a family to do. These are the two sides that few even know exist. One of these you can call the dark side of adoption. It is made up of the means that are used to make babies available for adoption, such as telling mothers their baby was stillborn, kidnapping of children, falsifying paperwork, changing names, dates, and locations to hide tracks, and the list goes on and on. I have heard so many stories in the past year of fellow adoptees who have found their family, who have been reunited, and who are told by their first mother and family that they have been loved, missed and wanted this whole time. Their families have been searching for them. It is beautiful to see a family reunite, and it is heartbreaking to think they were not supposed to have been separated in the first place. The other is the side of the adoptees themselves. The questions, emotions, mixed messages, contradicting feelings and inner struggles that we live with from as far back as we can remember. This struggle is felt by adoptees with a good experience and a bad experience, alike.
In my own case, I grew up never feeling fully connected with my family. I would feel a stronger connection to my friends, and I would think to myself that family is who you chose. Because I guess in a way, that was what had happened to me, but not by my own choice. My parents were there for me and did the best they knew how to, but I never let them in all the way, or even at all really. I was compliant in that I did pretty much everything to be the good daughter in their eyes, and I was defiant in that I always held them at a distance. I am realizing, as I am understanding my life as an adoptee better, that I must have done that as a self-defense mechanism. The fewer people I let in all the way, the fewer people would be able to leave me, disappoint me, hurt me or reject me. I rejected them or would hold them at a distance first, not giving them the chance to do what my (first)family had done to me. My adoptive parents were very much included in this rejection of mine. Not understanding or knowing where that came from caused me to feel extremely guilty about not being close to them. There was an internal struggle of pushing and pulling, blaming myself for my thoughts and feelings, and blaming them for my thoughts and feelings. Reading "The Primal Wound" by Nancy Verrier, and understanding the situation better, I can look back and understand that in my mind they would be forever linked to whatever trauma I had been through before them. My life didn't start with them and logically I knew they had nothing to do with what had happened before the day they adopted me, but they were the only thing tangible I could attach my feelings to, so I did. And I built up a wall. A wall for my own protection against rejection. I think a lot of adoptees do that. It's not because we doubt our adoptive parents love, it's not because we don't want or need that love. On the contrary, we probably need more love, more care, more nurturing and more security than most. And as long as we don't feel a hundred percent sure that the love and care that we need to feel safe is fully there, unconditionally and forever, the wall stays up. (There will be another post coming up on how to help an adoptee bring that wall down.) Now, try to imagine what that does to a child, to feel disconnected, want love, not being able to accept the love given, taking a distance and not knowing how to reach out – to her own family. To the only people, she knows as being her family. Those are big emotions to deal with as a child and adult alike. And they are very much part of my own, and many of my fellow adoptees' life. And I consider myself having had a good childhood, where I never perceived adoption as a negative thing. Contradiction is a key feature for most, if not all of us.
These are all things that I have realized after coming out of the fog. What really caused me to step out of the fog was an episode of the show "The Traffickers", on Netflix. The episode is called "the Dark Side of Adoption". One story in the episode is that of a father in Uganda, who takes his children to an orphanage because they are poor and so he thinks it will be better for the children to stay at the orphanage for a while. He is told by the director of this orphanage that his children can go stay with a family in Italy, who will care for them, make it possible for them to go to school and get a chance at a better life. He is told that they will be able to return to him after a few years, that it will be temporarily. He is not informed that when he signs the papers, he is signing away his rights as their parent. That with his signature, the children are no longer his. He realizes too late, and throughout the episode, the reporter and her team take part in the heartbreaking task of trying to track the children down and get them back home, to their parents and family. At one point they are as close to them as to be on the other side of the wall surrounding the house that they are in, but the father is not let in to see his children. He no longer has the legal right to see his own children. And that is part of the dark side of adoption. The children who have a family, but are taken away from that family, to be placed in a new family, because there is money to be made in the process. Seeing that episode, realizing that this happened in Colombia, in China, in Uganda, and many many more countries around the world, the fog lifted and I saw adoption in a new light. I suddenly understood what people were referring to when talking about trauma when talking about the victim being the adoptee, and when talking about the adoptees' voices needing to be heard, and the narrative needing to be changed. Having been in the denial phase of the grieving process, I now stepped into the anger phase.
Frustrated with the lack of information in my documents, I felt angry at the authorities in Colombia for not bothering to include such basic information as names of the people who I was with as a baby. What was the name of the woman who handed me over to the police? What was the name of the police officer who took me in? What was the name of the director of the orphanage? What was the name of the woman who fostered me for a while? All nameless ghosts, all a black hole. And no way to know if any of it was even true or not. Hearing about adoptees from Chile in Sweden uniting to demand that Adoptionscentrum (the Swedish adoption agency that also handled my adoption from Colombia to Sweden), be investigated for having possibly known about corruption being involved in cases of adoption from Chile, but still went along and facilitated them, added to my anger and frustration. I found refuge in the group of adoptees on facebook, my fellow Colombian adoptees. I found refuge in being able to voice my thoughts in a space full of people who not only accepted what I said and felt but who understood, related to, and were able to validate what I was going through because many of them had gone been through it themselves. I found refuge in writing. Writing about my emotions as I was going through them. I moved on from being angry to feeling sad and hopeless. I had nightmares about babies being left alone. I was becoming consumed by the emotional rollercoaster of coming out of the fog. This was what I had referred to when saying I was scared to start digging into my adoption story. This was what I had feared when opening the lid to Pandora's Box. The key was found, the lid was swinging open and at this point, there was no turning back. You can't go back into the fog once you're out. Ask any adoptee who has been through the process and experience of having the fog lifted from in front of them, and they will probably tell you they have considered and even wished for it to be possible. At 33 years old, I now had an entire lifetime of bottled up, buried deep down inside feelings of hurt, loss, trauma, rejection, and abandonment to deal with, all coming out at once. What had started as an "I will take it step-by-step and slowly see where this goes"-idea, had quickly turned into an all-encompassing emotional rollercoaster of thoughts, impressions, aha-moments, and feelings coming at me, all at once. I had no option but to feel it, but to process it, but to accept it.
Connecting with genetic relatives through the results of the DNA-test I took, understanding that I had the right to claim Colombia as my home-country even though I had no memories of it, and meeting fellow Colombian adoptees in person (two of them cousins I found through the DNA-test), is what kept me afloat, and let me see that there was a light of the end of the tunnel… Next, I will share with you what meeting biological family for the first time meant to me, what being able to call someone my cousin was like, and how I moved forward in the grieving process from anger and sadness, towards acceptance…
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for spending this time with me, reading my story.
If you would like to share your story, I would love to connect with you and help you share it here alongside mine.
Own your story, share your story, write your story.
All my love to all of you.

6 Shortest Matches In WWE History
The WWE is a busy place, with hours upon hours of content produced every single week.
When we think of the best matches of all time, we think of epic long encounters, such as Bret 'Hitman' Hart taking on Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 12.
In the first ever Iron Man match, neither man gave any sign of weakness after an hour-long battle.
In the end, it was Michaels who gained the upper hand (and the WWF Championship) pinning the Hitman in overtime.
But some superstars have made having short matches an art form, with several matches barely lasting long enough for the referee to count to three.
Here are the 6 shortest matches in WWE history.
#6 Bob Backlund Vs Diesel
Bob Backlund won the WWF Championship in 1994, fans were rightly confused. Backlund hadn't been relevant for years, with the Hitman being one of the most popular champions in recent memory.
Yet mere days later, Backlund would come up against Kevin Nash, under his Diesel moniker at a live event.
In just 8 seconds, Diesel won the title with a jack-knife powerbomb, and hold the title for almost an entire year.

Corzine calls inability to reach budget compromise 'deplorable'Posted: Updated:
Governor Jon Corzine (D-NJ) again addressed state lawmakers Thursday morning in an attempt to steer them toward a budget compromise.
The governor told lawmakers it's deplorable that it's been six days since the deadline for a new budget passed. Corzine says officials need to get innocent bystanders and the state out of a financial hole that's widening with the government shutdown. Quoting his father, Corzine told lawmakers, ?If you?re trying to get out of a hole, why don?t you just stop digging.? Click here to watch video of Cozine?s speech to lawmakers.
The governor and some state Assembly Democrats have been deadlocked over Corzine?s plan to raise the sales tax from 6 percent to 7.
Meanwhile, with more than 80,000 state and casino workers off their jobs, unions representing both groups plan to rally in Trenton to demand action to end the stalemate.

Alfred Aaron Wolmark (1877-1961)
Alfred Aaron Wolmark (1877-1961) was a painter and decorative artist. He was a pioneer of the New Movement in Art. Wolmark was born into a Jewish family in Warsaw. He emigrated to London and became a British citizen in 1894. Returning briefly to Poland in 1903, he painted works based on Jewish historical subjects. In 1911, under the influence of modern French painting, he executed a series of studies of Breton fisherfolk and harbour life, 1911. He worked in the areas of interior decoration, the theatre, and stained glass, 1911-15. He made a stained glass window for St. Mary's Church in Slough in 1915. He painted a series of cityscapes in New York city, 1919-20. He held many exhibitions in London, New York, and Paris, including portrait drawings at the Lefèvre Galleries, 1928. A retrospective of his work was held at Ferens Art Gallery, Kingston upon Hull in 1975. His paintings are now in many galleries around the world, including the National Portrait Gallery, London, Sheffield and Derby Museum and Art Gallery. He was one of the prime movers in setting up the Ben Uri Art Society, 1915.

I believe strongly that the passion, commitment, and specialist knowledge our doctors, nurses and other NHS staff is what makes our NHS so special. I recognise that staff morale is vital to maintaining staff commitment to services.
I also know that delivering a safer 7-day NHS for patients is a priority and record numbers of frontline staff are now employed, with around 6,500 more nurses in the NHS compared to 2010.
The independent pay review bodies, the NHS Pay Review Body and the Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration apply their expertise and objectivity in making recommendations to Government.
You may be aware that the NHS is one of few public sector workforces that receive incremental pay. Around half of staff on Agenda for Change (AfC) contracts receive incremental pay of around 3 per cent on average. For example a typical qualified nurse (Band 5) can expect seven years of pay progression averaging around 3.8 per cent a year, in addition to annual pay awards.
To help support NHS staff in their duty of care, the Government has committed to increase NHS spending in England by £10 billion in real terms by 2020. By cutting bureaucracy and championing higher standards, Ministers have ensured this money goes on frontline care not administration.
I am proud the NHS has been rated the best healthcare system in the world, something that is only possible thanks to the dedication and hard work of all NHS staff, supported by a strong economy.

From NCPA Advocacy Center Update, July 17: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently released a report, Opioids in Medicare Part D: Concerns about Extreme Use and Questionable Prescribing. The report provides baseline data on the extent to which Part D beneficiaries receive extreme amounts of opioids and appear to be "doctor shopping."
The report also identifies prescribers who have questionable opioid prescribing patterns, based on 2016 data. Highlights include:
The OIG notes that one-third of prescribers with questionable prescribing for beneficiaries at serious risk were nurse practitioners or physician assistants. The report was released in conjunction with the OIG and Department of Justice announcement regarding a July 2017 nationwide "health care fraud takedown."
From APhA's Pharmacy Today, July 14: More than 400 people have been charged in the largest-ever health care fraud enforcement action by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price, MD, announced on July 13. The individuals — including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other licensed medical professionals — are suspected of participating in health care fraud schemes involving about $1.3 billion in false billings.
The charges aggressively target schemes billing Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE for medically unnecessary prescription drugs and compounded medications that frequently were never even purchased and/or distributed to beneficiaries. Additionally, the charges involve individuals contributing to the opioid epidemic, especially medical professionals involved in the unlawful distribution of opioids and other prescription narcotics. HHS Secretary Price said, "Health care fraud is not only a criminal act that costs billions of taxpayer dollars — it is an affront to all Americans who rely on our national health care programs for access to critical health care services and a violation of trust. ... The historic results of this year's national takedown represent significant progress toward protecting the integrity and sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid, which we will continue to build upon in the years to come."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) received a $345,000 grant to better track and prevent opioid-involved overdoses. The funds will support MDH's ongoing Data-Drive Prevention Initiative (DDPI) work, which includes improving the department's ability to do field work to monitor the opioid crisis and to set up an opioid data dashboard.

From NCPA Advocacy Center Update, July 17: The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations released its Full Committee Report on the FY 2018 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. In this report, Congress has clearly stated that the FDA is misinterpreting the DQSA in regards to compounding policies and overstepping their regulatory authority.
The report language directs FDA to issue a formal rule allowing office use compounding, issue a final MOU that clearly differentiates between dispensing and distribution, appoint voting members to the PCAC with recent, actual, and diverse experience in the preparation, prescribing, and use of compounded medications, and only reference laws relating to veterinary practice in any final animal drug compounding guidance. This report language is not as strong as legislation and does not change the current law. However, it does give NCPA and all compounding allies a strong tool as we continue to work to ensure patient access to critical compounded medications. Several champions of compounding rose during the Full Committee Markup to express support for preserving patient access for compounded medications. On another note, 18 members of the DQSA Coalition, including NCPA, recently wrote HHS Secretary Price asking for a meeting to discuss vital compounding issues.
From APhA's Pharmacy Today, July 17: At the National Governors Association forum on the opioid epidemic, governors expressed frustration that efforts to combat the crisis have so far had little apparent effect.
One governor argued that the opioid epidemic requires the same federal support as a natural disaster, while several others called for law enforcement efforts to stem the supply of illegal opioids — along with expansion of treatment and prevention work.
Meanwhile, city budgets across the U.S. are buckling under the financial weight of reviving and rehabilitating opioid overdose victims — or burying them. Some mayors are questioning whether the money is well spent. Some communities are considering whether to ration naloxone or whether to limit the number of times emergency responders can save the same victim.
The number of infants born addicted to drugs has spiked since 2003, largely due to the opioid crisis. Communities are rarely equipped to provide the specialized treatment these babies need, so the babies may be transferred to urban centers miles away — meaning the often low-income mothers are not able to be with the babies during the recovery process. Researchers are starting to advocate a new approach in which the mother is the first line of treatment for the baby. "Rooming-in" puts mother and baby together in a hospital setting apart from the neonate ICU. Research has shown that the strategy can reduce the need to treat babies with morphine and also suggests that mothers may relapse less frequently. The cost savings was estimated at $11,000 per infant.
From news sources: After the latest bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was rejected by the U.S. Senate earlier this week, President Trump demanded Wednesday that Republican senators resume their work to approve a plan to repeal and replace the ACA. It is unclear whether there are enough votes to even open debate on a bill to repeal, although Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he will schedule a vote for the week of July 24.
A growing number of organizations, including a bipartisan group of the nation's governors, have voiced concern over attempts to repeal the ACA without a replacement plan available. While President Trump said he would now simply allow the ACA to fail, with Democrats shouldering the blame instead of Republicans, a number of lawmakers and governors pledged to work toward a bipartisan solution.

From U.S. Food & Drug Administration, July 18: Grapefruit juice and grapefruit can be part of a healthy diet. Grapefruit has vitamin C and potassium, among other important nutrients. But for patients who need to take certain medications, it isn't good.
This food and drug interaction can be a concern, says Shiew Mei Huang, PhD, of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has required that some prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs taken by mouth include warnings against drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking the drug, Huang says.

strength to bind his wrists and ankles with string. The Signor's head projected a little beyond the table's edge; and under his head was a bowl which M. Longuet had placed there not to make a mess. Theophrastus himself with twitching nostrils (that was what Marceline chiefly noticed in the terrifying face of her husband) had hold of Signor Petito's right ear with the fingers of his left hand, and his right hand gripped a kitchen knife. He ground his teeth and said:
"Strike the flag!"
With these words he sliced neatly off Signor Petito's left ear.
He dropped the ear into a little basin which he had ready, caught hold of the right ear, sliced off that, then carried the little basin to the sink, and turned on the tap.
He returned to the kitchen; and while he waited for Signor Petito's ears to stop bleeding, hummed an old and forgotten French air, with the most cheerful face in the world. When the bleeding ceased, he fastened a dish-cloth round Signor Petito's head, withdrew the handkerchief from his mouth, cut the string which bound him, and bade him get out of his flat at once if he did not wish to be arrested for burglary.

The gluteus maximus is the largest and most superficial of the three gluteal muscles. It makes up a large portion of the shape and appearance of the hips. It is a narrow and thick fleshy mass of a quadrilateral shape, and forms the prominence of the nates. The gluteus medius is a broad, thick, radiating muscle, situated on the outer surface of the pelvis. It lies profound to the gluteus maximus and its posterior third is covered by the gluteus maximus, its anterior two-thirds by the gluteal aponeurosis, which separates it from the superficial fascia and integument. The gluteus minimus is the smallest of the three gluteal muscles and is situated immediately beneath the gluteus medius.
When a muscle contracts, it shortens. Take the biceps for example. Without getting too technical, the biceps are attached at the forearm and shoulder. When your biceps contract, they shorten and bring those two points closer together. When you rest, the muscle returns to its normal length, and the two points move farther away. Constantly contracting your biceps over a long period of time would cause them to get shorter, even at rest.
You're more likely to get a hip flexor injury if you've had one in the past, you don't warm up properly before engaging in athletic activity, your muscles are already tight or stiff, or your muscles are weak from being overused. If, while exercising, you try to do too much at once in too short an amount of time, you can also put yourself at risk for a hip flexor injury.
Build an effective exercise routine. A good diet is required for your body to be able to maximize your potential, but there's no potential at all until you start the process of tearing down your old muscles and rebuilding them bigger, bulkier, and stronger. The best way to do that is to start at the beginning. If you're not sure where to begin, find a solid workout program online and try it out for a while. Don't immediately jump from one program to the next - you'll end up keeping yourself from making steady progress.
Whether you love or hate 'em, squats are one of the best butt exercises for strengthening your backside. Experts say that if you want to run faster, jump higher and lift heavier, squatting low is the way to go. They might look easy, but prepare to work when you add a barbell, slam ball or heel raise to the mix. These squat variations not only add some power to your jumps and kicks, but they also help improve your knee stability and range of motion. So how low can you go? Try these exercises to find out.
Take a step back and think about where you spend most of your day. If you're a young athlete, you probably spend most of your time at school or maybe work or practice and even a little time at home, if you're lucky. Now think about what position your body is in during those periods. I would bet that you spend most of your day sitting down. You may walk to class or run in practice, but the majority of your day is spent in a seated position.
I always recommend starting on the low end of the scale. Only increase volume when you absolutely need to. So, if you're training chest, you could do 6 work sets of dumbbell bench presses to start out, breaking down to two sets per workout for three sessions per week. You can gradually add sets from there, experimenting with different training splits that will allow you to get in more volume without overtraining (we'll discuss training splits next).
Working in the pelvic region is not easy for many therapists and clients. There are cautions and borders that need to be addressed and talked through before addressing these muscles. There are emotional and comfort aspects about working in the lower pelvic region. Some clients find this area too personal or private to allow the therapist's hands in this area. Other considerations are the internal organs such as the intestines, uterus, kidneys, and bladder. As the iliacus and psoas travel under the inguinal ligament and insert into the lesser trochanter of the femur, there is also the femoral triangle, which needs to be worked around. Body positioning can be useful to help access these muscles in a less invasive way while protecting the comfort of the client.
If you are referring to how many pushups to do in one session, the short answer is as many as you can. Aim for a number that challenges you but is still realistic. Build up from day to day to increase muscle strength. If you are referring to how long you should do pushups as a form of exercise, that is up to you. Pushups are a good part of a long-term or permanent exercise regimen. Remember that if you stop doing them, your muscles will weaken.
Yes, genetically some of us put on muscle faster than others, but even then it's fractions of a degree, not DRASTIC sweeping differences. We tend to get this question from men or women who are so thin and have such fast metabolisms, they probably need to put on 40-50+ pounds of both fat and muscle, before they would ever even think to use the word "too bulky."
You are encouraged to confirm information obtained from or through this website with other sources. Our content is not a substitute for qualified medical advice. The supplement summaries on this website may not include all the information pertinent to your use. Before starting a diet, taking new supplements, or beginning an exercise program, check with your doctor to clear any lifestyle changes. Only your doctor can determine what is right for you based on your medical history and prescriptions.
To begin, place the top of one foot on a weight bench (or a chair) and step forward with the other foot out in front of you, similar to a lunge position. Make sure that the front foot is positioned at least at shoulder width and it is far enough away from your body that your knee will not come over your toes when you perform the squat. Put your hands in front of your body (or overhead to make it harder). Perform a "single leg squat" by bending the front leg. The knee of the leg that is up on the bench will go towards the floor. Get it as close to the floor as you can. Do not let the heel of the front foot come up off of the floor. Keeping your heel down will ensure that you engage your glutes and hamstrings in this exercise. You should feel the tension in the hip flexor of the leg that is on the bench when you perform this exercise (you will also feel the muscles of the front leg working). It is important to keep your torso upright throughout the full range of motion. As you go down into the squat, the hip of the back leg is going into extension, which will stretch the hip flexor as well as strengthen it as it stabilizes the hip throughout the range of motion.
I HATE that the resistance training community can be so tribal. I have been preaching to bodybuilders for years about the benefits of powerlifting, or Olympic lifting or kettlebells or even Crossfit style conditioning and many have been receptive. Learn from each other and achieve levels of fitness you simply could not have otherwise. Don't brush off bodybuilding wisdom…it could be the missing factor in your program.
I aim to take in 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day and divide that total number by the number of meals I'm going to eat. For me, that means I eat approximately 360 grams of protein each day. I spread this across 6 meals, which turns out to be approximately 60 grams of protein per meal, depending on the day. The reason I eat protein frequently throughout the day is that muscles are built outside the gym. I may spend an hour or two training each day, but it's the other 22 hours or so when I earn my results.
Why less volume for the smaller muscle groups, you ask? Partially because they are smaller, but mostly because they get a ton of indirect volume while training the bigger muscle groups (e.g. your biceps get hit pretty hard while training back, triceps get hit pretty hard while training chest and shoulders, shoulders get hit pretty hard while training chest, etc.).
Bench Press. The bench press is about as American as apple pie, fireworks, or bald eagles. If you're in a gym on a Monday, then you can pretty guarantee at least 85% of the males in the building will be benching. With good reason though, variations such as the flat bench barbell or dumbbell press and the incline bench barbell or dumbbell press are very effective mass builders for the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
There are nutrients within these fat sources which decrease inflammation, improve mental function, improve eyesight, and give you healthier skin, hair, and nails. When I'm crushing the iron in the gym each day, my goal is to be strong and big, but also healthy and mobile. To get that way, I eat all of these generously on a regular basis, and I also take omega-3 supplements daily, in the form of fish oil or krill oil.

Focus on the Things That Matter
How many of us realise what is most important is right in front of us, right now? So while we are distracted chasing a career or that promotion we were promised, we are sacrificing time with our families that we will never get back.
The other night my wife and I were commenting how much our little girl is growing up. She was waking up in the morning and starting to dress herself, mostly – she stills seems to manage to tie herself in knots putting on a singlet! It reminded me again of a simple poem I read some time back that I have never forgotten – "The Last Time". It reminds us that our time having our children young and dependant on us is so fleeting, and that there will be a last time for everything we do with them.
Now while this somewhat of a depressing thought, what it should really do is wake us up to what is happening right in front of us, right now!
Our time with our children is so fleeting…..there will be a last time for everything we do with them
I remember some time back, when I was seeking to understand more about what success means, I took time to meet with those who I considered successful – in most cases business people who had 'made it'. I met with one gentleman who was the chairman for a mining company. It turned out to be one of the most profound meetings I had. There I was seeking the secret of success, waiting for the gems of ideas to flow to me. Instead he looked at me and said, "don't give up your time with your children, as you can never get it back!"
How many people do you know, including yourself, that have fallen in this trap?
As my career progressed and I became a senior manager I tried to strike a better work/life balance. For the most part I think I did a reasonable job. But there was always times when I felt I was giving way too much to the company and not enough to my family. A mentor of mine pointed out that the 'company' simply doesn't care how much time we give to our jobs – as long as the work is done. But what do you do when the work is never ending?
As a manager of team of professionals, I tried to be that leader that instilled a work life balance. More than once I would talk to my team members and tell them to pack up and go home, instead of remaining at work until well after their kids were in bed. I even shared this poem, "The Last Time", with them, and yet you wouldn't believe how hard it was to get them to go home. Somehow they had fallen hard for the idea of work hard on your career, give everything to your company, sacrifice your time with your family and you'll receive your 'reward' – sometime in the future…..
So what is the answer?
I believe it is having a deep understanding what means that most to you. What is you 'ideal day' and why aren't you living it now? How can you spend more time with your family, while you achieve the level of income you require?
Perhaps we have it wrong. Perhaps it's not the salary increase we need, but be paid the same for doing our work in less time, giving us more time with our family.
I really do believe as parents we feel the need to give our children everything. This pressure often falls to one spouse as the main income provider. If we only woke up and realised that sometimes being the best Dad or Mum, is to simply turn up in our children's lives! Our kids will never remember the toys they had growing up, but they will remember the times you stood on the sidelines of their sports and cheered them on. The times when we were at their school assembly to see them receive the merit awards, or simply the time we were there for them to tell us how their day went.
Again, it's being clear on what really means the most to you. Write down what your ideal day looks like! What would it take to start living it now?
Should you quit your job today – probably not. But having a goal and a clear plan to attain the life you're after is key. Having this clarity will help you create the life you want and free your time up. How? You will make better decisions around your time. You will choose to attend your child's special event, rather than sit in another (pointless) meeting. And when you do, the world will keep turning and you will still meet your deadlines in the office.
And if this inspired you to make make bigger changes, then you will begin to have clarity on what type of work better suits your needs. It may be to seek out a job with a company that has a better balance, or to start your own business and really take control of things.
For me, starting an online business has been the answer, giving me the flexibility to be more present in my family life. I get to drop the kids to school, and the simple task of driving the kids home from school and have them tell you about their day is simply the best.
What are you going to do to simply be there for your family?

AUSTRALIA: Eleven months ago data privacy and tech was the hottest topic for discussion, yet not much has changed in the way users handle and share their data with another on the cusp of a complete spill. Fan Subscriptions have become a thing from its introductory days at YouTube to then Twitch and Patreon, with Facebook now coming to the table. *Red alert* for data authorities as content providers near a slippery slope. But there's a way around it all without "FOMO".
1 User, 1 Dollar
Fan Subscriptions come with its own set of rules, whether 5% (Patreon) or Facebook's potential 30% stake in a users/content providers Fan Subscription earnings. Topicthread, to the contrary, works with users and treats its users as a whole — in contrast to being singularly dependent on accruing individuals. Every Member at Topicthread gets access to all users and all content — rather than merely an individual. For every Member an active Topicthreader (Member at Topicthread) brings over, and stays, that user earns up to $1.00 per year i.e. if a user has 50,000 Fans and brings them over to Topicthread as a Hero, that's $50,000 — no strings attached.
A 100M Cause
With data privacy a key metric of networks and interfaces around the world, Topicthread opted to take a stance and created Project Hero. The 100M initiative is set to go directly to its users. Whether a user has 50,000 Fans they bring over to Topicthread, or the guy next door with 1,000 Friends brings them all over — that's $50,000 and $1,000 respectively. No percentage taken. Just a simple Membership or Subscription to Topicthread — which ultimately gives users access to everything they know from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and DropBox like features, with a twist, all under the one roof. After all, Topicthread is a Social Compilation with the Architecture to Disrupt the Future and Project Hero is just another step in that direction.

Normal mode is one of two modes in The War Z, allowing players whose characters die from hazards, enemies, or other players to respawn later with little punishment -- their earned character skills will remain unlocked and available. Upon death players must wait four hours to respawn, or they may pay a small fee to respawn immediately.
Any items found or purchased will be lost upon death regardless of what mode the player has chosen.

The schools have started again. For one person a blessing, not for another at all. Of course you have enjoyed the freedom of the holiday. No alarm clock that tells you in the morning very annoyingly that it's time to get up, while your body really tells something else. Nothing rushed to get everything and everyone in the starting blocks to be able to get out in time.
But there were also times when your child was bored to death and therefore was going to bother you. And those visits to the amusement park were perhaps very nice, but also quite exhausting. Now that the schools have started again, there is more peace and regularity and that can also be very pleasant.
But whether you like it or not that the schools have started again, we do not change the situation, so let's make the best of it! With the best school mops!
The nicest school mops
And to start the new school year, we have collected the ten best school mops for you! Maybe you know one more? Leave them especially in the comments, so that other parents can laugh with you!
1. The middle finger
When the teacher said that he did not want to see the same fingers all the time, I spontaneously stuck up my middle finger.
Now I am in the hallway.
2. To the devil
Teacher Jansen storms angrily at the school director.
"Unbelievable how brutal the children of today are. I gave Jaap a scolding at which he said: Ah, fool, walk to the devil! "
"And what did you do then?" Asks the director.
"I immediately came to you", says teacher Jansen.
3. Bad report
Jantje comes home with a bad report. "For a report like that, a lot of beating seems right", says father angrily. Jantje replies: "I think that's a good idea. I know where the master lives. "
4. Not done
Jantje goes to school and asks: "Miss you are being punished for something you did not do?"
The teacher says: "No, why do you ask that?"
"Because I did not do my homework."
5. Moses
The Religion teacher asks the class: "What was the successor to Moses?"
Jantje raises his finger and says: "Mozeven, master."
6. Idiot
A teacher enters a class that is full of students. He sees an envelope on the desk. He opens the envelope and extracts the sheet of paper on which only the word 'IDIOOT!' is written. He looks around the classroom but can not discover anything strange. He sighs and says: "I have often received letters from students who had forgotten to put their name under it. But this is the first student to send a letter with his name underneath ... and forget to write the letter! "
7. Teacher
A teacher explains: "All words that start with 'on' are negative. Pieter, do you know another word? "Pieter:" Teacher, sir! "
8. The alphabet
Jantje is coming to his new school for the first time. The teacher asks:
"Do you already know the alphabet, Jantje?"
Jantje: "Yes teacher"
Asks the teacher: "What letters come after the A?"
Jantje: "All letters teacher"
9. Lay eggs
Jantje has to count on school. The master says: "Jack when I lay four eggs and you put three eggs, how many are there?" Jantje: "Still four, because I can not lay eggs."
10. Physics
During the physics class. Master: "In heat something goes out, but in the cold something shrinks. Who can give a good example of that? "
Jantje: "The summer holiday lasts 6 weeks and the Christmas holiday lasts only 2 weeks!"

Higgins to return €200,000 to State at end of term
President says €317,000 allowance is used to cater for events at Áras attended by 20,000
President Michael D Higgins speaks to reporters. Photograph: PA
President Michael D Higgins has given some details of the spending of a unaudited €317,000 annual Áras An Uachtaráin allowance.
Earlier this week Mr Higgins said he would not give full details of the allowance until after the election. On Tuesday, Mr Higgins said a "full return on every euro" spent of the €317,000 allowance would be given in November.
However, he opted on Thursday to give more information now, saying that €280,000 a year had been spent on hospitality for guests to the Áras, including monthly tea parties for senior citizens and a cultural gathering.
It has also covered the cost for receptions for the victorious Dublin footballers, the Cork women's hurlers, Ireland's women's hockey team, and the Special Olympics.
Mr Higgins said he expected to be able to hand back about €200,000 from the €2.2 million received during his seven-year term of office under the fund, which was created in 1932.
The annual fund has not been increased since 1998. Mr Higgins said his predecessor Mary McAleese, at the end of her 14-year term, had returned €457,000 to the exchequer.
Dealing with the general costs of his office, Mr Higgins said it had run to between €25 million and €26 million since 2011. Last year, it cost €3.6 million. Of this, €1.7 million went on salaries.
A bounty for the country's 412 centenarians this year cost more than €1 million. In addition, the President said he sent medals to 542 people who were more than 100 years of age.
Speaking in Cork, he said the centenarians' bounty and salaries for 27 Áras staff represented 76 per cent of the €3.6 million. Information is already published about Áras spending and he was happy to make it "more accessible".
People should know what was being spent by the Áras and for them to access everything they want to know the President is doing "in the name of the people of Ireland. What is being spent, I account for it. And I think we get great value."
Saying that he hoped he would be re-elected, Mr Higgins declared: "I could have a much easier life, but I enjoy doing what I'm doing and giving it everything I can."
If successful, he will highlight the barriers still facing many today: "The promotion of a more inclusive society has been a cornerstone, not only of my presidency, but of my life.
"From Mayfield to Monaghan, a spirit of inclusion can be seen in so many of our villages, towns and cities. People have shared with us their hopes, ambitions and concerns.
"They have highlighted, through their words and actions, the importance of participation. Everyone has a contribution to make," said Mr Higgins, who was accompanied by his wife, Sabina.
However, "very real and often painful barriers" exist: "Very often it is those on the margins, whose voices most need to be heard, who can face the most obstacles.
"When it comes to disability, gender, age, ethnicity, family status and socio-economic circumstance, Ireland is not achieving an equality of participation," he went on.
Under the plan, individuals and communities will be brought together to talk about their experiences, while public and private institutions will be asked to reflect on what they can do to help.
Following the launch of his campaign in Cork, Mr Higgins met a large group of supporters from Cork city and county who are campaigning for his re-election on 26th October.
