Elder Abuse and Eviction
SentosaCare – Filipino Nurses – October 2015 – Accountability (or the lack thereof) and Politics
Ben Landa – a Comment to Our Previous Post – SentosaCare and Google
LostMessiah – 20.04.17
After reading one of the "glowing endorsements" of Ben Landa we received in the comments to our previous posting, and in an effort to stay true to investigating the voracity of our commenter's claims that the staff at SentosaCare is happy in their positions, we decided to do as the commenter asked, "Google."
Much to our chagrin, there were numerous glowing articles about SentosaCare and Ben Landa all of which, unsurprisingly, were posted on SentosaCare's websites, Twitter feeds, Facebook pages or those of SentosaCare's affiliates and partners. We also found glowing reviews of Ben Landa, also on his own website, LinkedIn pages and Twitter feeds. Unsurprising, there were no flowery reports about Ben Landa being a "great guy."
In fact, among the many things we found on our Google search (completed at the request of the commenter) were a string of lawsuits against SentosaCare, the most chilling of which related to the company's treatment of its Filipino staff. We were surprised to find a string of repeated accusations dating back to 2004 and elder care issues at Fensterman's nursing home in 2003 and earlier. But Fensterman was not the subject of our commenter's words of praise. We were thus shamed into realizing that not enough has been said about SentosaCare, Ben Landa, Howard Fensterman and the political gamesmanship that has facilitated, if not out rightly endorsed these facilities.
We discovered, thanks to our commenter, that the most interesting and unsettling explanation for the success of these facilities can be found at least as early as 2005. There are certainly numerous articles supporting our repeated contentions that politics and the political generosity of the owners of these homes are like binary stars, functioning because they feed off each other like parasites. Political clout knows no bounds and moral bankruptcy can likely not be crammed down.
The reality of today could not be better described than it was in an article from 2007 by Michael Amon and Ridgely Ochs entitled:
"How a Long Island Nursing Home Empire Got Its Way"
Instead of posting that article, which only serves to outline the history of behavior found in our previous post, we decided to post the text of an article found on the website of a South Carolina law firm. While we know nothing at all about this firm, their words speaks volumes.
In the interest of full disclosure, this posting is not an endorsement of the law firm quoted nor is it an advertisement on behalf of the law firm. We know nothing about the law firm or their services but are simply posting information we found in a Google search. We felt it important to show that we indulged the request of one of our commenters and the results of that request led us here. – LM
With more than 5000 beds in 25 facilities, SentosaCare, LLC is now the largest nursing home network in the state of New York. However, a quick look into the record of complaints, fines, and violations is enough to make one wonder how SentosaCare is allowed to run one facility, let alone acquire dozens more.
In one particularly harrowing story, a 60 year old patient was placed into a SentosaCare facility to recover from a diabetic emergency. He entered the facility with minor wounds on his foot, and expected them to heal over the six weeks he planned to stay at the home. However, his "recovery" soon led to an emergency hospital visit, as negligence by caretakers led to a severe infection which required amputating his foot.
Why is SentosaCare Being Allowed to Expand?
In New York, prospective buyers of nursing home facilities must pass a "character-and-competence" review before the transaction will be allowed. The Public Health and Health Planning Council is supposed to deny these deals when they find that the facilities have repeat violations which could potentially put the residents at risk. The Council works primarily off of reports and records compiled by the Department of Health.
However, the Department of Health has regularly excluded or failed to report major violations, including more than 20 federal fines which SentosaCare facilities have been ordered to pay. Inspections reports have indicated numerous instances of residents wandering away, and in one case, freezing to death. Prosecutors and inspectors alike have found that staff members have falsified records. Despite this, the Department of Health found that SentosaCare homes provide a "substantially consistent high level of care."
We Fight for Those Who Can't
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of instances of improper patient care in SentosaCare facilities. While this group appears to be particularly troubled, similar abuse and neglect unfortunately occurs in facilities around the country. The Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general has even stated that one-third of all Medicare patients suffered preventable harm in a nursing home within one month of being admitted for short-term rehab. For more information, read this recent ProPublica article.

We believe that when you put your loved one into a nursing home, they deserve to receive a high standard of care – and the law is on our side.

Sentosa, Lawsuits, ProPublica, Filipino Servitude, Elder Abuse, ENOUGH?!
In a March 14, 2017 McKnight's story on the class action complaint filed against SentosaCare for allegedly keeping 350 Filipino nurses in 'indentured servitude,' the author adds another example of the abuse of a system intended to protect our frail and vulnerable elderly.
Notwithstanding the detailed ProPublica Oct 2015 revelations about PHHPC and SentosaCare's malfeasance, the Cuomo appointed agency has nonetheless facilitated the licensure of one of the stakeholders of SentosaCare-Benjamin Landa to purchase Briarcliff Manor. Operators of the largest skilled nursing facility consortia in New York State, with repeated articles regarding their treatment of both staff and patients are being permitted to expand.
Benjamin Landa and his gang of merry elder "caregivers" (using the terms loosely and with sarcasm) are suing propublica for reporting:
In spite of mounting evidence that this group should not be permitted to expand, we have the Public Health and Health Planning Council's buy with no character/competency issues identified…Page 96
Program Summary
No negative information has been received concerning the character and competence of the above applicants. The proposed operators intend to enter into a contract for accounting services with Sapphire HC Management Care, LLC, which is a related party.
What does it take to be deemed "negative information"? If ending the continuation of the licensure of alleged criminal owner/operators is not a moral imperative question, what is?
Are we not obliged to ask whether it is no mere coincidence that Landa's partner in SentosaCare, Howard Fensterman, (formerly of the PHHPC), contributed heavily to de Blasio's first mayoral campaign?
Is it such a small world that he headed up the recruitment of Schumer's Long Island campaign donations? Is it happenstance that $10,000 was given to Cuomo for his 2018 Campaign?
How many more vulnerable and disabled elderly will our Department of Health allow to be victimized by these same people?
How much money is enough to buy the silence of the very people we elect and hire to protect the most frail and fragile in our rapidly aging community?
How many aides must be subjected to abuse in the workplace, as these Filipino nurses were; or laid off by the thousands, as facilities are churned for real estate profiteering?

Joel Landau – Have You no Shame? An Allure of Disgust – but no photo of your face!
Allure demands lender pay $40M for Brooklyn nursing home
March 06, 2017 01:40PM
By Kathryn Brenzel
The Allure Group fired back against a lawsuit filed by its lender on a Brooklyn nursing home, claiming that the financial firm should pay $40 million for the property.
Allure, headed by Joel Landau, claims that the Sabre Group must pay $40 million for 270 Nostrand Avenue and an additional $6 million because the sale of the property didn't close on time, according to documents filed in state Supreme Court. Allure, one of the developers at the center of the Rivington House scandal, maintains that "the express and unambiguous provisions" of the mortgage it received from Sabre require the Midtown firm to pay $40 million for the property.
A spokesperson for Sabre would only say that Allure has "been in default for quite some time and that's why we're pursuing our claims."
Sabre sued Allure in December, accusing the company of failing to repay a $20 million loan it provided to acquire the Brooklyn nursing home. Allure purchased CABS Nursing Home in Bedford-Stuyvesant in 2015 for $15.5 million. Sabre claims that, under the terms of the mortgage, it can purchase the nursing home for $25 million because Allure defaulted.
But Allure alleges that because the property was vacant and had no pending litigation at the time that Sabr tried to act on its purchase right, the lender is on the hook for higher purchasing price. The landlord also claims that a liquidated damages provision in the mortgage requires Sabr to put $6 million toward the outstanding balance on its loan, since the financial firm failed to acquire the property after Allure repeatedly scheduled closing dates.
Landau declined to comment.
In December, the city admitted that it did not have a legal case against Allure, despite Mayor Bill de Blasio's promise to sue the company for flipping 45 Rivington Street. Allure made $72 million when it sold the property to Slate Property Group. In April, New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued subpoenas after Allure filed demolition plans for the Nostrand property, with the intention of replacing it with a seven-story, 241-unit rental building.
The nursing home filed a lawsuit against Allure in December claiming the company marketed itself as a nursing home business while bidding for the property and instead forced residents out. The lawsuit also notes that the property flip may have led to the deaths of a few nursing home residents, who they say were forced out.
Lawrence Feigen and Shlomo Rechnitz -buying an ally "in the medical profession"
How does a 28-year-old raise more than $1 million for a congressional bid?
In his first run for Congress two years ago, Justin Fareed, a relative newcomer to politics, relied mostly on his own money. He didn't make it past the primary.
This year, the 28-year-old Republican, a former UCLA Bruins running back, has significantly more money to work with — $1 million.
Most of it — 80% — came from people living outside his Santa Barbara district. And nearly $200,000 has come from donors with ties to two of the state's largest nursing home operators.
The businessmen, Lawrence Feigen and Shlomo Rechnitz, of L.A.'s Westside, have given the maximum allowed contributions, as have members of their families and their friends and employees.
Operators of skilled nursing facilities have a big stake in congressional decisions on healthcare funding and policy. Those businesses depend on funding from Medicaid and Medicare — and, in California, Medi-Cal – and they are under constant scrutiny by government regulators and inspectors.
Fareed himself is in the medical business; he is vice president of his family's company, ProBand Sports Industries, which makes devices to treat tennis elbow and other repetitive stress injuries. In his candidate statement on the ballot, he also describes himself as a "third-generation cattle rancher" who understands "the burdensome taxes and regulations coming out of Washington, and the implications it has on small businesses and the agricultural community along the Central Coast."
The congressional race in Santa Barbara, where Democratic Rep. Lois Capps is retiring, pits Fareed against Democratic Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, who has raised $1.8 million. The field of five others includes Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, also a Democrat, and Republican Assemblyman K.H. "Katcho" Achadjian. The top two finishers in June will face off in November.
Feigen's company SnF Management owns more than 35 long-term nursing facilities in California and Arizona under the name Windsor Healthcare.
Rechnitz owns more than 70 facilities and has been described as the state's largest nursing home operator. In recent years, state and federal authorities have investigated his companies on charges including elder abuse and involuntary manslaughter.
Feigen and at least 30 of his employees, business associates, friends and family members have together contributed at least $108,000 to Fareed's congressional campaign. Rechnitz, employees of his businesses and their family members have given at least $74,000.
Federal law caps direct donations to candidates at $2,700 for the primary and $2,700 for the general election.
Feigen donated the maximum amount to Fareed's campaign. Rechnitz contributed $2,700. Three Feigen family members listed as students in finance disclosures each donated $2,700.
In addition, Feigen, his family's trust and his company donated $25,000 to New Generation, a pro-Fareed political action committee that has since disbanded. Ramat Medical, where Rechnitz is chief financial officer, donated $10,000. Feigen and his wife also donated $10,000 to another PAC set up to support Fareed.
When asked about his donations, Feigen said he and his family "like people who are honest" and not part of the political establishment. He said he knew Fareed through business connections in the medical sector. Rechnitz, through a representative, declined to speak about his contributions to Fareed's campaign beyond an emailed statement.
"Mr. Rechnitz is a major, non-denominational, non-partisan donor who last year alone contributed to more than 1,100 institutions," Rechnitz's spokesperson Stefan Friedman said in the statement.
At the recent opening of his campaign's Santa Barbara headquarters, Fareed described Feigen as "a supporter like all of our other supporters for the campaign."
Fundraising success
Fareed, a onetime Capitol Hill aide to a Kentucky congressman, ran for the Santa Barbara congressional seat in 2014, coming up a few hundred votes short of making it past the top-two primary to challenge Capps, the incumbent. That year, he raised about $190,000 and loaned his campaign $197,000.
Voter registration in the district, which stretches across San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, is almost evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. President Obama won the district by 11 points in 2012, and tea party favorite Chris Mitchum, son of the late actor Robert Mitchum, came close to ousting Capps in 2014.
Around 56% of Fareed contributors this year live outside the district, and they contributed $875,000 of his $1.08 million in donations.
About 77% of the $1.5 million that Fareed's opponent Carbajal has raised from individual donors comes from inside the Central Coast district.
At least 90 of Fareed's 490 donors live in West Los Angeles, in the Hancock Park, Fairfax and Mid-Wilshire neighborhoods. Supporters in the 90036 ZIP Code contributed a combined $235,000 to the candidate — nearly 25% of the money Fareed brought in since the campaign began.
Many of those Westside donors have ties to the medical industry, according to donation records filed with the FEC.
Feigen is the co-founder of privately owned SnF Management, which manages a chain of nursing facilities. He is also the chief executive of a medical device company that sells orthotic insoles, according to his company website and LinkedIn page.
Rechnitz's facilities brought in $62 million in profits in 2013, according to a Sacramento Bee report, citing state figures.
In August, California Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris filed involuntary manslaughter charges against one of Rechnitz's nursing homes, and two of its employees were also charged with dependent adult abuse. Charges against one defendant were dismissed at a hearing last month after she agreed to testify in this case. The charges against the head of nursing and the nursing home remain, and the case is pending. At another Rechnitz-owned facility in Orange County, two former employees were charged with three counts each of elder abuse and failure to report abuse. Their trial is scheduled for July.
For the Record
5:50 p.m., June 2: An earlier version of this article said charges of dependent adult abuse against one defendant were dismissed at a hearing this month. The hearing was in May.
In addition, three Rechnitz-owned facilities repeatedly failed inspections and were eventually decertified by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an agency spokesman said. Regulatory violations at facilities owned by Rechnitz have led to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. Rechnitz's spokesman declined to comment on those cases but said the executive brought "59 nursing homes out of insolvency and currently provides life-saving care to thousands of Californians."
'A good guy'
West Hollywood resident Viktor Kogan and his wife each gave $2,700 to Fareed's campaign in late October.
Asked recently about the contributions, Kogan said he could not recall donating to Fareed, adding that he had never heard of the candidate.
When shown a copy of a federal record noting his contribution, Kogan, 75, said his daughter, Ksenya Kogan, arranged the donation. She also contributed, and listed one of Feigen's companies, SnF Management, as her employer.
Ksenya Kogan, an attorney, declined to comment about the donations except to say she had met Fareed through friends.
In nearby Hancock Park, Freda Stock gave a total of $5,400 to Fareed, but said she didn't know anything about the candidate or his campaign. Stock said Feigen has done business with her husband and has been a family friend for "many, many years."
Fareed's campaign also has received donations from outside the state, including a $2,700 contribution from Chaim Feigen, a recent graduate of New York University who works for SnF Management and is registered to vote at Lawrence Feigen's Los Angeles home. Asked about his contribution, he declined to comment.
Other donors interviewed by The Times said they had given money to Fareed's campaign based on the advice of friends or business associates.
One of those is Denise Wilson, an executive at Ramat Medical, the West Los Angeles medical supply company where Rechnitz is chief executive. Wilson, who gave $2,700, said a group of people that she works with introduced her to Fareed's campaign.
"They said that he was a good guy," she said. "I couldn't give you a definitive answer of his issues or what he stands for. They just said that he was a good, up-and-coming person to support our industry."
Lawrence Feigen's brother, Alan, who also works at Ramat Medical and gave $2,700, said he did not know Fareed personally. He said that a client, whom he declined to identify, had asked Ramat Medical employees to support the candidate.
Among other donors, Ken Zelden, a vice president at Harris Office Products in Van Nuys, said he gave Fareed's campaign $2,700 because he'd "been told he is a good guy." "I'm looking forward to meeting him," he said.
At a recent campaign event in Santa Barbara, Fareed said donors from the healthcare industry comprise "a very prominent base of support that we are developing all over the place."

An Alluring Moral Imperative – Save Our Elderly Keep them OUT of Allure or Landau Run Facilities – Letter…
Dear LM –
As you know, I have an interest in seeing to it that there is better protection for the most vulnerable in our community, those to whom we owe our gratitude and respect, the elderly. I can't help but wondering how we went from being a civilized society to one that cares so little about anything beyond our own pockets. I can't help but point to the wealthy beneficiaries of our lack of morality as it applies to the elderly. In your comments regarding Joel Landau and Allure, a request for information and a hope that he will be taken out of the equation where the elderly are concerned, I found hope that perhaps my own loved ones would one day be redeemed, albeit posthumously.
THE ALLURE GROUP: – Enabled by Governor Cuomo and the Public Health Planning Council:
I cannot help but going back to where the cancer began vis a vis NY State Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities: namely Albany and the Public Health and Health Planning Council-appointed by Governor Cuomo. Presently much is reliant on Attorney General Schneiderman 's lawsuit effort to prevent Allure from buying two more facilities: the Harlem Nursing Home and the Sts Joachim & Anne Nursing Home…a situation which would have been prevented had the PHHPC & Governor Cuomo, who appoints these deleterious license enablers, been called to account for the many years of lousy management and sub-par responsibility.
If you believe as I do…and if credit is given to the reported documentation clearly showing that too many of the so-called 'operators' of long term care facilities in New York buy these places only to churn them, one cannot merely place the blame on Mayor de Blasio & his rabid real estate gaming malfeasance. The story began with the certification and enabling of amoral and predatory owners who should never have been allowed to obtain nursing home certification from the PHHPC in the first place.
Since the indignation and moralistic baloney from Landau/Allure fly in the face of reality and takes front and center in the news, past and present they are the perfect example to reference. If one looks at the online published segment of a Feb 2016 Public Health & Health Planning Council report one can see how they got where they are:
The following screen shots were taken from the above report:
Joel Landau – Allure Group – Shameless Behavior – if What is Claimed is Right
BK nursing home blames Allure Group for resident deaths
A Brooklyn nursing home is blaming the Allure Group for the deaths of some of its residents, saying the landlord wrongly forced the residents out.
CABS Nursing Home in Bedford-Stuyvesant filed a lawsuit against Allure, claiming the company forced out residents soon after buying the facility in 2015, the New York Post reported. Allure's efforts to quickly flip the property, the lawsuit alleges, led to the untimely deaths of some of CABS' residents. The nursing home also claims that it turned down higher bids for the property because Allure, led by Joel Landau, billed itself as a company with nursing home experience.
An attorney for Allure fired back that the company never agreed "to operate a nursing home for any period of time, much less forever."
Earlier this month, Allure was hit with another lawsuit related to CABS. Sabr Group claimed that Allure repeatedly fell behind on a $20 million loan and was trying to force the lender to buy the property at a 60 percent markup from an earlier price.
In April, New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued subpoenas after Allure filed demolition plans for the nursing home, with the intention of replacing it with a seven-story, 241-unit rental building.
Allure is also at the center of the Rivington House scandal. The company negotiated to have the deed restriction removed from the Lower East Side property, paving the way for the sale of the nursing home to Slate Property Group and several partners. [NYP] — Kathryn Brenzel

The consumption of ice and snow does not come close to providing the water necessary for cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., and should be discouraged as it also lowers body temperature and increases maintenance energy needs.
Carnarvon, Ontario (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
Lorne Heise, CEO of Heat-Line Freeze Protection Systems (http://www.heatline.com), is pleased to announce the launch of their latest innovative new product - Frost-Line™, an advanced freeze protected water supply system for livestock drinking bowls and watering equipment. Heat-Line, a division of Christopher MacLean Ltd., a Canadian company located 2 ½ hour north east of Toronto in Haliburton, Ontario, develops and manufactures advanced freeze protection solutions for water pipes and water systems.
The new Frost-Line product was specifically designed for use in water pipe risers that extend from below the frost line and into water toughs or drinking bowl housing. It comes complete with an external heating cable extension to protect plumbing externally within the housing. An addition to Heat-Line's Retro-Line family of freeze protection products, Frost-Line solves the problem of maintaining a year-round reliable water supply to all types of livestock waterers, including livestock drinking bowls, cattle fountains, watering troughs, automatic waterers and more.
"Frost-Line offers a freeze protection solution for cattlemen, dairy farmers, hog producers, feedlot operators, or any other type of livestock operation that needs to ensure that their livestock have an adequate and reliable winter water supply, even in the coldest climates," says Lorne Heise. "Good livestock husbandry dictates that providing sufficient qualities of water is crucial in maintaining optimum health. Although livestock water intake drops during the winter months, animals still require large quantities of water. The consumption of ice and snow does not come close to providing the water necessary for cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., and should be discouraged as it also lowers body temperature and increases maintenance energy needs. To keep the water flow from freezing, Frost-Line can be used in conjunction with livestock waterers, water bowls, troughs and fountains from the top manufacturers of livestock watering products, such as Ritchie and Nelson®. With the Frost-Line system, unreliable frost tubes and culverts will become a thing of the past," explains Heise.

NEW YORK — Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston have been mum about their relationship, whatever it may be, but David Letterman didn't let that stop him from pressing Vaughn on the issue.
Letterman took the approach of presuming the relationship is a go during his interview with Vaughn on "Late Show."
"Hey, nice going on that Jennifer Aniston thing," the late-night host says to Vaughn on a taped interview to air Friday on CBS.

Philips and DJ star Armin van Buuren have paired together for a pair of A5-Pro professional DJ headphones, designed to meet the needs of a globe-trotting DJ.
Van Buuren and Philips collaborated on the headphones to combine an aluminum close-back fit with audio accuracy and clarity. The A5-Pro headphones aren't designed for your son or daughter's iPod, instead for professional monitoring and mixing.
The Philips A5-PRO headphones feature 50mm high-definition neodymium drivers engineered for 3500mW high power handling. Philips also brags there are dual-sided locking cable units, replaceable soft isolating ear-cushions, 90 degree swivel ear shells, a genuine leather headband, detachable coil cable, and compact folding design.
"After my passport the first thing I take on the road with me is my headphones", van Buuren said. "Through my headphones I control everything. It needs to be a good piece of equipment because you're using it the whole night of your DJ set. Philips believed in my idea for the A5-Pro and I believed in the idea Philips had."
Philips hasn't revealed pricing or availability information for the A5-Pro headphones.
We'll be checking these out to see if the endorsement lives up to the hype.

HA NOI — Economic unpredictability has been held responsible for a decline in the Viet Nam Business Confidence Index in the first quarter. The index fell three points to 113.
The information was released following a survey by the Viet Nam Financial Intelligence Service of more than 160 enterprises in 11 key sectors between mid-March and the first week of April. More than half of the respondents were small and medium enterprises.
Nearly half said they would not hire new staff; another 14.8 per cent said they would reduce their workforce.
Regarding assets investment, 35 per cent of the businesses planned to increase their investment in assets; 44.5 per cent said they would remain at the current level; and 20.4 per cent said they would decrease their asset investment within the next 12 months.
The survey also showed that more than 56 per cent of the businesses believed the State Bank of Viet Nam's policy to reduce lending interest rates would take effect but they remained sceptical about their ability to access the loans at reduced rates.
Most of the businesses said the rise in the minimum wage to VND1,050,000 (US$50) from the current VND830,000 ($40), to be applied in May, would increase their production costs and cause financial pressure at a time of economic difficulties. — VNS

For the Liverpool-supporting anorak, I Don't Know What It Is But I Love It is a pretty easy sell. But for fans of other clubs, this new book by Tony Evans, the football editor of The Times, seems a pretty unpromising proposition. It's a detailed account, not of the history of another club, but of just one season, with a description of every single game - including seemingly endless League Cup replays. League Cup replays. Seriously?
But it's worth making the effort because Liverpool's astonishing season of 1983-84 actually has two elements that make for a great book: a triumph-over-adversity narrative, and some outstanding characters. Even more important, however, is the background. Because compared to the slick, lucrative Premier League of today, this book – set amid a hooligan-ridden sport in a city seemingly in terminal decline – might as well have been set on Mars.
First, the narrative. (No worries about spoilers here - the cover has the team with the European Cup, so you know how it ends.) At the end of the previous season, Liverpool's manager, Bob Paisley, stood down after an astonishing period of success. From 1976 - his second season in charge, having replaced the legendary Bill Shankly - through to his retirement, Paisley had won six league championships, three League Cups, the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. Oh, and the small matter of three European Cups, a feat only recently matched by Real Madrid's Carlo Ancellotti. The travails of David Moyes this year in trying to follow the success of Alex Ferguson only illustrate the difficulties.
So to whom did Liverpool turn? The club promoted from within, but it was still a controversial choice. Joe Fagan was 62 years old - just two years younger than the retiring Paisley – and had to think long and hard before stepping into the spotlight. In the end, he did it in part to keep the rest of the Liverpool coaching staff – the famous 'Bootroom', so called for where they held meetings – in their jobs.
Worse, while Liverpool's first-choice 11 was pretty damn good, there was little depth to the squad. Yes, there was still the ageing Kenny Dalglish, arguably the best player in the world in the gap between Johann Cruyff and Pele and the rise of Diego Maradona. The club's young whippet of a striker, Ian Rush, was starting to score goals for fun. But stalwarts like defenders Phil Neal and Phil Thompson were also getting on a bit; the safe and reliable Ray Clemence had been replaced in goal by the eccentric Bruce Grobbelaar; and there was little cover if injuries struck. Which is just what happened when Irish midfielder Ronnie Whelan was sidelined early on. New signing Michael Robinson was no match for his illustrious strike partners, either.

According to a recent study, amalgam fillings may be dangerous to the environment and public health, says Dr. Vincent Mariano, a Northampton and Longmeadow family dentistry pro, and Dr. Lisa Emirzian, a Northampton, Amherst braces provider and cosmetic dentist.
Online PR News – 30-August-2012 – EAST LONGMEADOW, MASSACHUSETTS – EAST LONGMEADOW, MASSACHUSETTS- A study published in June claims alternative materials to silver amalgam may be better for public and environmental health.
The Health Care Research Collaborative of the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health, the Healthier Hospitals Initiative and Health Care Without Harm released the study titled "Mercury in Dental Amalgam and Resin-Based Alternatives: A Comparative Health Risk Evaluation," on June 13.
"It is dentists' responsibility to scrutinize the tools they use when treating patients," said Dr. Vincent Mariano, a Longmeadow family dentistry man and prosthodontics specialist. "They should also strive to look out for patients' oral and overall health while treating the problem at hand."
Dental practices have used silver amalgam for years. Composite fillings are now more commonly used because they bond better with teeth, and out of concern about mercury's side effects. Amalgam fillings can also cover up decay in X-rays. Composite fillings are natural-looking, metal-free and they can strengthen teeth.
Dr. Peter Orris, the study's co-author, reports that much of the environmental mercury burden is due to dental use of amalgam. Mercury fillings can also cause harm to fetuses' neurological development.
When amalgam fillings are stimulated, they release mercury vapors that can permeate cell membranes, then the blood-brain barrier, and eventually the central nervous system. Mercury transferred to these areas may create immunological, psychological and neurological problems.
Dental mercury doesn't just affect patients. Dental offices were the source of 50 percent of the mercury found in Publicly-Owned Waste Water Treatment Works in 2003, the study stated.
Fillings are used to fix worn, broken, cracked or decayed teeth. Composite fillings are composed of reinforced glass and plastic.
"Resin fillings aren't as dangerous for the environment and patients," said Dr. Lisa Emirzian, who offers Lumineers and braces at EMA Dental, her East Longmeadow braces practice. "Not only do they do their job just as long as amalgam fillings do, they help protect healthy tooth matter."
General dentists like Emirzian and Mariano are interested in patients' oral and overall health. Their patients take comfort in knowing their best interests are in mind and only the safest dental tools available for treatment are used.

There must be nothing worse then buying a beautiful HD television or the perfect surround sound stereo system only to find out that it will be days before you can have someone come and install it. Worse yet, you might have to take off a whole morning or afternoon from work to ensure you're at home when the installers arrive during the 4-8 hour window they are suppose to come. Unfortunately, very seldom do installers arrive early.
Such frustrations by customers are being addressed by a new company called Zip Express Installation. The biggest advantage to using Zip Express Installation is that they offer next-day installation for major home electronic purchases whether they are purchased in-store or online. If that wasn't good enough, the company will even be able to make an appointment at a specific hour. Zip Express Installation is the first nationwide installation service to offer next-day installation at a specific hour.
The installation services, which begin at US$129.95, can be scheduled three ways. First, some participating website retailers will offer the service or you can sign-up directly for installation through the Zip Express Installation website. Another option is to schedule installation through a participating retailer which allows the customer to pay for installation services while the product is being rung up. Services include TV setup, wall and over-the-fireplace TV mounting, home theater setup, computer and digital camera networking and furniture assembly.
Read more from the Zip Express Installation website.
Brian's Opinion
Zip Express Installation is smart to take the frustrations of many customers and build a business model around that. The two things that consumers complain about when it comes to electronics installation is the time they have to wait for the service and the fact that they can't be given a specific time the installer will be there. Zip Express Installation has undoubtedly addressed those concerns.
Retailers, whether brick-and-mortar stores or websites, would be smart to team up with Zip Express Installation. I'm sure many sales people can tell stories of losing a sale when the customer found out that an installation would take days to schedule. When people finally decide to make a big purchase they want to enjoy it as soon as possible. Zip Express Installation gives retailers the option of satisfying their customer's hunger for immediate gratification by offering next-day installation.
Another service offered by Zip Express Installation is a site survey and consultation for the home and office. This is a service in which a consultant will come to your home to discuss a project or installation with you. The consultation includes suggestions on products and placement. The service is US$99, but that is completely refundable if Zip Express does the installation. Best of all, you'll know what the installation costs, because you will be given a written quotation. That's not a bad deal at all.

Edited by Ann W. Astell
Inspired by Vatican II, which attributed a special apostolate to the laity and affirmed their calling to holiness, this volume of original essays focuses on the shifting points of intersection between changing historical definitions of laity and sanctity. Ann W. Astell and ten other scholars examine a series of medieval and modern lay "saints" in order to explore how these figures perceived their own lay status and how this status has been perceived by others.
Through its examination of a series of specific historical figures and movements, Lay Sanctity, Medieval and Modern seeks answers to a set of recurring questions, such as what actually distinguishes the sanctity of the laity from that of the religious, why so few lay persons have been canonized, and to what extent the pursuit of sanctity requires lay saints to either deny or affirm their lay condition. Six essays seek to recover models for lay sanctity in the lives of early saints such as Catherine of Sienna and Angela of Foligno. The five studies of twentieth-century figures such as Elizabeth Leseuer and Jacques and Raissa Maritain suggest the emergence of new, secular ideals of lay sanctity.
"These sharply etched profiles of lay exemplars and saints, both medieval and modern, enhance our understanding of what the Bible calls our great 'cloud of witnesses.' Anyone interested in Christian spirituality will welcome this carefully crafted and well-written volume." —Lawrence S. Cunningham, Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame
"These lively accounts of lay holiness put flesh and color on Vatican II's universal call to holiness. Ann Astell's marvelous introduction alone is worth the price of the book." —Keith J. Egan, Hank Aquinas Chair in Catholic Theology, St. Mary's College

There has been another school shooting in the US, this time with one student critically wounded at Taft Union High School in Kern County, California.
One student seriously injured in California school shooting
One student seriously injured in California school shooting
Two pupils were shot at by a gunman, who is also believed to attend the school.
Police say the suspected shooter was convinced into putting down his weapon after speaking to a teacher and another student.
This comes as the US Vice President Joe Biden says he will report gun control proposals to Barack Obama by next Tuesday – before the President's end of January deadline.
"There is an emerging set of recommendations not coming from me but coming from the groups we have met with, and I am going to focus on the ones that relay primarily to gun ownership and the types of weapons that you own," said Biden.
Gun control has been a large part of the political agenda in the US since the killing of 20 children and six adults in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut almost one month ago.

Here is the behind the scenes.
We Just finished shooting for the new movie "Bleed" starring Robert Patrick and several of the cast members from the hit TV series "Prison Break", including Robert Knepper. Super nice people and cast. Side note: Mr. Patrick is not nearly as intimidating in person as he was in the movie "Judgement Day" from the Terminator Series. Below is a crappy picture of a scene where they sent a bus off a cliff. That was fun to shoot.
We recently finished shooting the final three episodes for the TV Series "Turn Washington Spies" for season 4 which airs in May on AMC.
Well we had to fly this bad boy (below) on the set of "Love Simon" the other week for Twentieth Century Fox.
HeliCam is happy to announce that we now have our night waiver.
What to Look for When Hiring a Drone Company
Hiring a drone rental company doesn't have to be a complicated process, but there are a ton of people trying to pass themselves off as drone professionals claiming decades of "combined experience" and you have to weed your way through them. Multirotors or drones as they are now commonly called are, for the most part easy to fly. I can't count how many times I have heard people say, even very experienced operators: Drones are easy to fly, you don't need ex professional R/C (remote control) pilots to do high level aerial filming anymore. To do basic filming...no. To do it safely and be able to handle emergency situations in the event of an equipment failure, absolutely you need someone with a lot of experience. To do complicated shots, long distance shots, shots where the drone is going to be hard to see because of mountains in the background, high speed at very low altitude shots, operating near obstacles and Talent; you can't have a drone pilot and camera mount operator with too much experience. We have done work for a lot of production companies that have used drone rental companies that claimed "decades of combined experience", but they weren't able to get the shots that production needed or they wound up crashing on set causing major safety issues. We also loose a lot of work to drone rental companies who will do work for really cheap rates and again production, nine times out of ten, doesn't get what they need and they wind up wasting time and money. When it comes to drone rental companies, you really do get what you pay for. Drone services companies that have been around for years should have several demo reels and finished client projects on their site for you to view. If not move on. Chances are if they don't have a shot very similar to what you need for your production, they probably can't get that shot safely if they can even get it period. They should have a back up drone and camera mount as these things are mostly electronic and things will fail occasionally. Do they have their FAA 333 Exemption or Part 107. If they do not have either of these their insurance, if they have any is totally useless. Regarding insurance, if the PIC (Pilot in command) does anything illegal with the drone and something happens, their insurance is null and void. There are a lot of operators doing a lot of illegal stuff with drones. Hopefully this info will help some of you wishing to hire a drone rental company.
Some of HeliCam's Cooler 2016 Projects
Check out this Audi spot that we created. The footage was shot in the Florida Keys.
In late November we were in the FL Keys on another Audi shoot.
In May HeliCam shot some aerial video with our drones for a new TV Series for FX Network starring Donald Glover, Danny Glover's son, called Atlanta.
In August HeliCam worked on a new TV Series called "Ink, Paper, Scissors" which featured Atlanta's Salon Ramsey and will air on BET.
In September HeliCam was fortunate to get to do some drone aerial video on a really cool Audi shoot in Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA with a bunch of great people. My camera man and I offered to forego our normal day rates for a couple Audi R8s, but we never heard back on our proposition.
In early July HeliCam got the opportunity to fly the new Nokia Ozo VR camera. What an impressive piece of equipment. I am currently working on a new camera mount system to maximize the potential of the Ozo. Last year we flew a GoPro based VR rig that was customized to work with the DJI Ronin gimbal in Maui, HI. Things have come a long way since then. It is amazing that the video stream from all eight cameras are written to one memory card. I can't say enough about Able Cine as well. They sent the Ozo Tech Ben out to make sure that we got the most from the Ozo.
To watch the videos in full screen mode simply click on the video to get it started playing and then double click on the video. Once in full screen mode you can choose to watch it at YouTube if you like.
Check out one of HeliCam's latest projects with Adidas and Morgan Brian shot with an Epic at 20mm
2015 was a great year! HeliCam was privileged to get to provide the aerial cinematography for two feature films; A Walk In the Woods starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte and an India based film called Subramanyam For Sale which was a remake of an old musical. Examples of both movies can be seen in our "Reels" or the movie trailers above. Getting to work with Nascar's own Kurt Busch in his new Monster Energy commercial was a real treat. Great guy to work with. The shoot at Dynamic Aviation was a blast although a little nerve racking working around some very expensive and old aircraft. Who knew working on a big shoot for Furniture Land South could be so much fun. We got to do some hand held stuff with our Movi M5 plus a lot of great aerial shots. To cap off the year we got to do some work for Chubb Insurance for their charity golf event held this year in Pinehurst, NC. The weather wasn't great, but the rain held off and we got to do some filming on one of the most prestigious golf courses in the US, Pinehurst number 2 and number 8.
HeliCam Aerial Media Services, LLC has a drone aerial video office in Atlanta, GA and one in Greensboro, NC, but shooting aerial video with our Drones has taken us to exciting shoot locations like; Los Angeles CA, Savannah GA, Wilmington NC, Orlando FL, Omaha NE, Dallas TX, New Orleans LA, Charlotte NC, Jackson MS, Vancouver and Montreal Canada, New York City NY, Palm Springs CA, Atlanta GA, Maui, Kona and Hilo Hawaii, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Seattle WA, Dominican Republic and Santo Domingo just to name a few.
Create the highest quality aerial video and photos possible while operating in a safe manner. If HeliCam does it's job to their full potential, the Client will be ecstatic at the end of the shoot and that, to us, is what makes the years of learning and growing to try and perfect our craft worth while. Working this philosophy has gotten HeliCam a ton of referrals and repeat business, which is great advertising.

Here you see the Cash4Gold Super Bowl commercial starring MC Hammer and Ed MCmahon, which I consider the best of the bunch until someone reminds of something better. Cash4Gold's clearly come a long way since telling people to pull out grandma's fillings for money.
After the jump, I've got all the movie ads. A lot of people say Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was the best, others, G.I. Joe. But those people are idiots, probably the same ones who liked that MacGruber commercial. Year One was easily the best, followed by Land of the Lost. Elsewhere, Go Daddy.com once again made me wish I was stupider. And Chester the Cheetah is clearly Tony the Tiger's ne'er do well, recovering heroin addict brother in law.
Here's the 3-D spot for Monsters vs. Aliens that everyone said looked crappy. The 3-D looked okay to me, but I was on LSD. Meanwhile, the Sobe Lizards (way to reference your own shitty invention that no one liked, ad guys) allowed Japanese people to say, "See? You roundeye much clazy too."
4 Fast 4 Furious. Pretty much the same as the old trailer, I couldn't stop thinking of this screencap.
The new Star Trek: NOW WITH MORE BRUCE GREENWOOD! Did you know: Bruce Greenwood's garden gnomes are really just midgets who stand perfectly still. They did it because he's such a nice guy.
Land of the Lost. I was kind of into this one. Sue me.
G.I. Joe – HAHAHAHA, he just asked that Dennis Quaid what his unit was called.
Year One. Yeah yeah, I know you're all tired of Michael Cera playing the same character every time. I'm not.
Up. It's Pixar, so I'm sure it will be good. But the commercials leave me decidedly indifferent.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Remember, kids, it's the only 'Giant Robot Movie' that matters.
Race to Witch Mountain. …Yeah.
Angels and Demons. There's a treasure map, written on the back of the Declaration of Independenc— wait, what? That's not Nic Cage? Oh, f-ck.
You can see all the rest of the commercials over at Spike. I've always said Billy Corgan was underrated as a Hyundai commercial editor.

How much is that chopper in the window......
The Defense Ministry Secretary-General says they cost...............RM1.1 billion
The Deputy Defense Minister says.............................RM1.604 billion
The Prime Minister-cum-Defense Minister says...............RM1.7 billion
And then the Prime Minister announces that the correct figure is actually RM1.604 billion, but he had thought it was RM1.67 billion and had rounded it up to RM1.7 billion!!!!!! But of course being the nice fler he thinks he is he also said, "I apologise for my mistake." Well, thank you. Sir! You are also a very funny guy. Really! Hahahahahahahahahaha..........sorry ah.
In case you haven't been keeping abreast of the news in our Parliament our government apparently signed the deals for the purchase of these choppers without testing them!!! Well, Najib did say that our fly-boys flew them a couple of times around the padi fields when they were being shown at the Langkawi International Marine Aerospace (LIMA) show la. Great!!! Spend billions based on a joy-ride!!! Malaysia Boleh! Some things just don't change eh? Hold on! There'll be more to come as the Police flers have also said they want to buy helicopters. And they want 12!
And as if to prime us all for the type of government we can expect if Najib becomes Prime Minister, when he was asked by the Oppostion to appoint an independent expert panel to evaluate the procurement process he said, "They are making too much of a big deal out of it."

How funny that their mind even can round up that 1.67 billion to 1.70 billion!??
Billion is just like cents for them...
Rm 1.67 to RM 1.70 keh??? ish...
- 11:25 pm
rm1.67 billion = rm1,670,000,000.00
rm1.70 billion = rm1,700,000,000.00difference = rm 30,000,000.00
= rm 30 juta

This sort of mistake should not have come from a Prime Minister. He should have all facts in hand, down to the nitty gritty. You dont mess about with taxpayers money, my friend. If it was one of my execs, I'd deal with him swiftly.
But then we're talking Abdullah Badawi here, so what else is new...

There are a lot more skeletons in the closet of the Defense Ministry.
Don't even know between joy ride and flight testing of the helicopter. Will Malaysia take this pukimak fler to be the next PM?

The original figure was said to be RM 2.01 billion. So, why so many figures floating around.
The best solution is to just give us the Euro $ cost since nowadays the exchange rate is so volatile.
But the key question around which they are deliberatley creating a smokescreen and avoiding answering is was the PM's son, brother or croney awarded an agency for the Euro Cockmamaie 725 Heli's? How much agency fees and why since they can negotiate G to G and save the Commission. This is not academic since corruption and conflcit of interest could be involved.
- 8:38 am
The PM explains that it was his oversight for announcing the wrong figure in the purchase price of Eurocopter but says those figures are now 'academic' as the deal was off.
BN focus on 'Academic'
DAP focus on 'Accountability'.
Now I know who to vote for in the next elction.

Is outcome of Munawar's appeal indicative of what we can expect from Zaki Azmi...new Boss of the Malaysian Judiciary
Chief Justice Zaki Azmi beginning to throw his true colours...
Will he be able to be INDEPENDENT of UMNO and his past friends, and be able to be concerned only with justice...
Will he be a progressive judge only concerned with JUSTICE - not fearful of developing the law so that justice be done...or will he just remain a tool of UMNO and his 'old friends'.
Also noted that Zaki Azmi was a businessman with involvement in a string of companies - and if so, he must recuse himself from any case involving those companies and/or related companies or even companies whereby his once fellow member of the Board of Directors or management is involved.

This would make a perfect example to the "Hammer Theory"! and now that you have the figures... you'll know how much who is making!!!
buyer: how much is tis?
Supplier: 5 Ringgit
buyer: ok, deal!
buyer goes back to the office, and told supervisor: i bought these for 6 Ringgit
supervisor: ok, i'll report to the manager
supervisor reports to manager: we finally managed to get the cheapest option procured, this cost 8 Ringgit.
manager: good. i'll take it from here.
manager generates a cost analysis and forwards it to the Director: Cost 10 Ringgit, suggested selling price 13 Ringgit, however, the market will accept 15 Ringgit.
the next day, the sales personnel puts it on the rack with a RM25 price tag with a 20% discount tag... 2 hours later a customer buys this product for 20 Ringgit...
Isn't this brightening?

You see, when no one makes any noise, then it would be RM2.01 billion.
When someone makes a noise, then it is RM1.7 billion.
When people start to make noises, it becomes RM1.67 billion.
When the oppositions start to make a big fuss out of the deal, it changes to a little over RM1 billion.
So you can imagine what could have happened if no one had make any noise. The missing RM billions could easily have gone into someone else pocket.
.....and it isn't mine!

Sadly we have a PM who is a perpetual oversighter, never seems to get any thing right and we will soon have a Najis as PM, probably another load of smelly thing (large lump of Najis) UMNO has made Malaysia a common joke among other nations, I am sure other countries who bought Eurocopters are laughing at the stupidity of our so called PM and soon to takeover Najis PM.

According to Bank Negara the Rounding Mechanism is as follows:
The Rounding Mechanism is a method whereby the total bill amount (including goods and services subject to tax) is rounded upwards or downwards to the nearest multiple of 5 sen. In this regard, total bill amount that ends in 1, 2, 6 and 7 sen will be rounded down while 3, 4, 8 and 9 sen will be rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5 sen.
Not this flip flop say round up from 1.67 to 1.7.
If based on Bank Negara, it should be 1.6, now looks like this flip flop does not even understand simple Round Mechanism...

whats 1.67 billion to him? coz he probably a few more billion for change.

umno malays claimed that other races are taking advantage of the Malays rights and get the Malays to react and causes commotions.
is that so ?
it's more likely that umno malays are taking full advantage of nation unrest and swindle our wealth.
they keep saying that 30% Malays quota must be follow.
everything we give in to them , they only put umno malays into these companies and that left the Malays still far behind on their 30% quota,
so how to reach that target ?
who have lied and who have be conned?

"they are making too much a big deal out of it".
what a sentence from the PM in waiting. RM500 million difference is no big deal, Mr PM in waiting? oh, i forgot thats the standard difference for arms purchase, aint it? extra RM500 million for submarine, fighter jets purchases too? and its NO BIG DEAL coz it is going to the right pockets? NIAMAH.

Referring to Johnny B Rempit's statement, it is not only the men and women serving in the armed forces, especially in the Air Force, who will lose out in the end for using old and inferior air vehicles. Their families will suffer even more when these men and women lose their lives due to the recklessness and greediness of the people in power.
Families will lose a husband, a wife, a brother, a sister, etc because of these. And you know what? At the end of the day, these widows/widowers are being stigmatised just because they lose their partners in a crash that could have been prevented if the air vehicle is not inferior. What a joke, isn't it? We could have prevented many children to grow up without a father, including yours truly.

Unified Communications: What it Means to the End User
At this point in time, unified communications is no longer a choice but shear necessity to companies in every industry throughout the globe, as it enables them to take advantage of the cloud for all business-related activities. Workforces are implementing unified communications as a way to streamline operations, improve communications efficiency and eliminate delays invoked by e-mails and voicemails that are replaced by real-time communications. Instant messaging and presence monitoring, for example, can apply – all while simultaneously cutting costs from one innovative platform.
UC systems have transitioned over the years. While it started as a robust portfolio that powered capabilities such as telephony, voicemail and Web conferencing, it now encompasses other capabilities firms heavily rely upon including video conferencing, presence, VoIP systems and instant messaging.
According to Thomas Beck, director of Marketing and Business Development at Teo, "The UC space is finally taking off due to several reasons such as technology is improving; BYOD is being driven by users, and IT departments need to follow; low hanging fruit of workforce reduction have been exercised,; and now enterprises need to invest in technology to increase technology of reduced workforce to get more done without adding headcount."
Image via Teo
A recent blog post from unified communications provider Teo highlighted the recent thoughts from Jeffrey Mann, research vice president at Gartner who commented in regards to the evolution of unified communications, stating, "The next wave we don't see happening just yet. There have been some indications, though, such as the addition of social software, enterprise social networks, document and workflow managers, crowd sourcing and idea management."
As the unified communications market currently boasts a compound annual growth rate of nearly 13 percent that is estimated to continue through 2015, several obstacles can sometimes to get in the way of organizations being able to see the various advantages associated with leveraging unified communications right away – one of those factors being interoperability.
"You have this market with a whole bunch of different vendors and they all see things differently," Gartner Vice President Bern Elliot added.
In order to overcome this massive hurtle once and for all, it is key that businesses implement industry-wide mandates that will enable enterprises to get this robust system up and running in as little time as possible. In the future, "I see businesses moving from voice only to UC, much in the same way smartphones have replaced simple cellular voice only phones. UC will be absolutely commonplace in five years, and there will be more and more solution interworking available," Beck added.

Wrongfully imprisoned Que. man seeks $30M from province
MONTREAL — Yves "Colossus" Plamondon spent 30 years in jail for three murders he says he didn't commit.
Now free, Plamondon is seeking $30 million from the province's Ministry of Justice and the Quebec Provincial Police for damages he suffered while wrongfully imprisoned.
Daniel Rock, Plamondon's lawyer, told QMI Agency that "police informants and judicial resources were inappropriately manipulated by the state."
Plamondon has always maintained his innocence. He was granted a new trial last November after the court revealed the defence was never made aware of contradictory testimony during Plamondon's initial trial.
In January, the crown announced that they would acquit Plamondon on one of the murder charges, and stop proceedings on the other two murder charges.
Rock has submitted a demand letter requesting that $30 million be put into trusteeship for Plamondon by May 13. A demand letter gives the recipient the chance to perform the obligation without having to go to court.
