HAVANA, CUBA (AP) — The United States and Cuba on Thursday set a detailed agenda for re-establishing full diplomatic ties, but said it could take weeks just to schedule the next round of talks, a sign of the long road ahead after more than a half-century of tension.
Roberta Jacobson, the top U.S. diplomat for Latin America and the most senior American official to visit the island country in more than three decades, said the second day of wide-ranging talks in Havana were "positive and productive," focusing on the mechanics of converting interest sections in each other's capitals into full-fledged embassies headed by ambassadors
Josefina Vidal, her Cuban counterpart, also praised the dialogue. Both officials, however, outlined the obstacles to making a U.S.-Cuban relationship like that between any two other countries. Jacobson spoke of America's persistent human rights concerns in Cuba. Vidal cited Cuba's status on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism and the various financial restrictions imposed on the country as a result of the U.S. trade embargo.
"We have to overcome more than 50 years of a relationship that was not based on confidence or trust," Jacobson told reporters. She cited "profound differences" separating the two governments and said embassies by themselves would not constitute normalized ties between the U.S. and Cuba, as envisioned by Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro when they announced their historic detente last month.
"It was a first meeting. This is a process," Vidal said. In the next weeks, she said, the U.S. and Cuba will schedule a second round of talks, which may or may not be the time to finalize an agreement.
Issues on Thursday's agenda included ending caps on staff, limits on diplomats' movements and, in the case of the U.S. building, removing guard posts and other Cuban structures along the perimeter. Deep disagreements remain over matters such as immigration and human rights. In a sign of the difficulty surrounding the rights issue, Jacobson said the U.S. had raised it in a morning meeting; Vidal said it had not come up. Gustavo Machin, Cuba's deputy chief of North American affairs, later said the delegations spent time in an afternoon session discussing U.S. human rights problems.
They also talked about U.S. rules to allow greater telecommunications exports to Cuba, Machin said. The need for at least one future round of talks could set back U.S. hopes of reopening the embassies before April's Summit of the Americas, which Obama and Castro are expected to attend.
Talks took place "in a relaxed atmosphere of respect," Machin said. "Look at my face," he said, smiling. "It reflects the spirit in which we've been talking up 'til now."

Where do you get your best ideas?
Mostly I get mine in the shower or right before I fall asleep. But last week (or was it two weeks ago), I had a massive brainstorm while sweating on some kind of contraption at the gym. I wanted a way to involve more of the community in this celebration of Magan and Baby E! (Check out yesterday's post from moms around the community!) But how?
A game, of course!
Think of this as a virtual baby shower of sorts. (Though, this particular game might be harder to play with a room full of strangers.) But I emailed a bunch of wonderful bloggers who didn't think I was crazy, asked their moms to scan pictures, and left their darling baby faces to me. What responsibility! (And what fun I had looking at them all and piecing this together. Even James was getting a chuckle out of it!) I'm proud to announce …
It's as simple as it sounds: can you match up these adorable faces with a book blogger?

Oxy-Politis / Sharp Citizen
If you are looking here to find personal information about me or anyone else that writes in this blog. You won't find it here. You have to use a little more effort than that. It's not impossible.
In this day and age where there are so many violent loons on both side of the political spectrum (most are on the left), there is no way I'll make that easy.
What is written here in this blog is usually written using a 'political persona' reflective of the demeanor portrayed in the current political landscape. We aim to entice, enrage, make you think, and illicit an emotional response.
We are like minded in many areas but not all. One person manages and operates the site, others contribute.
I am male, 35-45.
I grew up and was educated in NYC.
I've traveled throughout the United States, Mexico, Europe, Canada, and several eastern block countries.
I am a perpetual student..
I am a volunteer in several charitable and community organizations.
I am interested in economics, mathematics, logic, philosophy, politics, technology.
I am married and have children.
I own guns, but believe that access to them should be restricted
I hunt, yet have protested certain animal testing.
I'm pro life, but know that there are exceptions.
Why the name OxyPolitis. Because we believe that citizenship is a responsibility. If we want good leaders, then we have to know something about who they are and what they will do, and that is a responsibility too. Being sharp about how we cast our votes is critical to citizenship.

(Bloomberg) -- When Debra Wetherby started her investment advisory firm in 1990, she was 32, just married and had less than $50,000 of capital.
She plunged into an emerging industry of advisors who run their own businesses rather than operating inside big brokerages such as Morgan Stanley, which shed left in 1988. With 10 clients betting on her, working without a salary and living on credit cards, she rented an office on San Franciscos Sansome Street and gave herself a deadline: make money in three years, Bloomberg Markets magazine will report in its January issue.
Today, Wetherby Asset Management leases the entire eighth floor of a financial-district high-rise adorned with toga- wearing female statues dubbed the corporate goddesses.
From this perch and another office in Manhattan, the firm serves about 500 families who generally have at least $10 million to invest. That added up to $3.5 billion in 2013, lifting Wetherbys firm to No. 1 in Bloomberg Markets first ranking of independent registered investment advisers, or RIAs, based on the assets they manage.
Few people knew the term RIA when Wetherby started. Now, the field is on a tear.
The more than 20,000 independent RIAs in the U.S. have gained market share among wealth managers every year since 2007, increasing their assets 82% to $2.3 trillion from 2007 to 2013, Boston-based research firm Aite Group says. In contrast, client assets at the largest retail brokerages rose 8.2% to $6.2 trillion in the same period.
Its been a continuous growth cycle for RIAs over the past seven years because of the complexity of markets and changing needs of clients, says Bernie Clark, head of advisor services at Charles Schwab. Schwab holds more than $1 trillion in assets for about 7,000 independent RIAs, which amassed $60 billion in new money in 2013.
In hindsight, it looks very prescient, Wetherby, 56, whos the chief executive officer, says. It really was more about serving clients a certain way.
Wetherbys largest family, whom she declines to identify, has about $400 million invested. Annual fees start at 75 basis points. They drop to 15 basis points if the assets managed exceed $80 million. (A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.)
Wetherby, who got her MBA from the University of California at Berkeley, wont discuss returns. She says the firm tailors investments to clients, so there are no averages.
Wetherby puts in 10-hour-plus days and leads by consensus. Each of her 56 employees had a vote on the design of their 8th floor workspace, which they moved into this year, she says. They wanted equal-sized offices around the perimeter and low-rise cubicles in the middle so people could easily interact. In line with the high-tech focus of San Francisco, she chose a desk with an attached treadmill to exercise while reading or listening to conference calls.
Most days, shell review trades and meet with at least one family on investments or tax planning. For major decisions, she assembles an eight-person committee that includes herself and seven senior employees.
She called a meeting on Oct. 15, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries dropped below 2%. That day, the firm had planned to reinvest money pulled from the Pimco Total Return Fund after Bill Gross, manager of the bond fund, left Pacific Investment Management in September for Janus Capital Group. Instead, it waited until markets calmed.
Saul Feldman is one of Wetherbys original clients. He met her at Morgan Stanley in the 1980s, when he was an executive at General Parametrics and the bank helped take the technology company public.
Feldman, 84, became CEO of HealthAmerica of California and later United Behavioral Health. He says he appreciates Wetherbys steady hand. Shes guided his family through financial ups and downs -- and preserved their capital.
Now, Wetherby is helping to transfer Feldmans wealth to his sons and grandchildren. She says her firms advice revolves around such goals.
Its not about the money, she says. Its about what you want money to do for you in your life.

My beloved LPT has suddenly decided to stop rotating at 45rpm. The 33rpm works fine, and even though the green '45' light comes on, the motor won't rotate. When it's engaged I can feel the spindle vibrate - like there's some power getting to it. I tried giving it a helping hand by rotating the turntable to no avail.
I'm not at all technically minded, so would appreciate some advice. Is it still safe to use at 33rpm?
I live in the Yukon in northern Canada so getting access to parts can be tricky.
Thanks, Jim

The contents on this website reflect the views of the Members of the EU Fraud Prevention Expert Group and cannot be attributed to the European Commission
Identity theft is generally defined as the misappropriation of the identity (such as the name, date of birth, current address or previous addresses) of another person, without their knowledge or consent. These identity details are then used to obtain goods and services in that person's name (source: CIFAS, the UK Fraud Prevention Service). Identity fraud is sometimes used as a synonym, although the concept of identity fraud also encompasses the use of a false, not necessarily real, identity.
Identity theft (and generally identity fraud), as a modern phenomenon, has mainly started in the US and Canada. However, it is now a growing problem in Europe, increasingly affecting society. In the payment area, this kind of fraud has serious implications for its victims (e.g. financial institutions and payment users, whether individuals or businesses) which go beyond the mere financial losses. Indeed, the emotional costs and the cost of "cleaning up own's name" for the payment users may be high.
The increased criminal activity related to identity theft is also explained by the relatively low risk of detection and the, in most cases, even lower risk of prosecution.
Where to learn more about identity theft?
The FPEG has prepared a
report on
identity theft/fraud in the financial sector
The European Commission organised in November 2006 the conference "Maintaining the integrity of identities and payments: Two challenges for fraud prevention".
UK – Home Office Identity Fraud Steering Committee This site containing useful information for consumers and traders on identity fraud.
UK – Identity Card site This site contains a section on identity fraud and hosts the Cabinet Office Study on Identity Fraud of 2002.
CIFAS (UK Fraud Prevention Service) . This site contains a section on identity fraud.
Cardwatch . Card Watch is a UK banking industry initiative that aims to raise awareness of card fraud prevention. It is managed by APACS, the UK payments association. The Cardwatch site contains a section on tips for cardholders to avoid identity fraud.
London School of Economics The LSE has prepared a report assessing the UK Identity Cards Bill and its implications. Several pages (from 97 to 112) relate to identity fraud.
RECOL Reporting Economic Crime Online (RECOL) is an initiative that involves an integrated partnership between International, Federal and Provincial Law Enforcement agencies, as well as, with regulators and private commercial organizations that have a legitimate investigative interest in receiving a copy of complaints of economic crime. Its site contains a section on identity fraud (click on protection/education)
Safe Canada It contains information on identity theft in its section related to financial safety.
US Federal Trade Commission The FTC site contains a section on identity theft. This site contains a large amount of documents, either from the business, consumer or law enforcement perspective. It also contains testimonies before Congress and general reports, including survey reports. Some documents of interest in these pages are: "Take care: Fighting Back Against Identity Theft", February 2005; "ID Theft, what it's all about", June 2005.

New Delhi: Noting that the government
accords high importance to improve the delivery of justice to
all, President Pratibha Patil on Monday said a set of proposals
expected to be finalised shortly would help reduce delays in
disposal of pending cases.
"My government attaches high priority to improving the
delivery of justice and reducing delays in the disposal of
cases," Patil said addressing both Houses of Parliament.
Talking about the National Mission for Delivery of
Justice and Legal Reforms which aims at timely delivery of
justice to all, she said, "This should result in
re-engineering of procedures, improving of human resources in
this sector and leveraging of information technology."
Details of the Mission would be shortly finalised, the
President said.
The pendency of cases in High Courts has increased
during the last three years and the government now aims to
reduce it from an average of 15 years at present to an average
of 3 years.
The President also referred to the Judicial Standards and
Accountability Bill which has been introduced in Parliament.
The bill, she said, is "intended to enhance the
accountability of the judiciary, thereby improving its image
and efficiency."
The Bill provides a mechanism for enquiring into
complaints against the Judges of the Supreme Court and the
High Courts, requires them to declare their assets and
liabilities and lays down judicial standards.
It will address the growing concerns regarding the need
to ensure greater accountability of the higher judiciary by
bringing in more transparency and would further strengthen the
credibility and independence of the judiciary.

Magnetic separation of cells and bacterium is a fascinating field of study. There are tremendous capabilities in separation, selectivity, and sensitivity. Magnetic separation reduces complex techniques, time consuming preparation, and complicated multistep methods of separation.The separation of cells, bacterium, and macromolecules can be extremely challenging. Fortunately, magnetically tagged cells, bacterium and macromolecules can be easily separated without great expertise. Antibody magnetic micro beads are specific to a cell, bacterium, or macromolecules. Separating a mixture can lead to a better, more accurate analysis of samples that can be crucial in the medical field, therapeutic drug delivery systems, and in some circumstances lifesaving. The ability to positively identify a disease in hours instead of days results in faster recovery times and minimizes the spread of the disease. Faster recovery time can be lifesaving in many countries because then the disease can be treated quickly.

Here are a selection of articles you may find interesting. Each of them support the legalisation of this life-saving technology through either personal experience, statistics, or a combination of both. Check them out below!
Why Is Our Government Refusing To Save People's Lives?
Catallaxy Files
ATA Director Tim Andrews wrote an article for Catallaxy Files describing the government's inaction on legalising vaping as 'morally reprehensible.' Tim links to many studies supporting the fact that this is a life-saving technology that needs government approval now. Here's a short snippet of what he had to say:
'Why is our government standing in the way of saving people's lives?
This is not a case of the government being wrong or misguided. This is a case of the government standing in the way of saving people's lives. It is morally reprehensible, and we need to do something about it.'

Legalise nicotine vaping as a harm reduction solution for tobacco smoking
On-Line Opinion
MyChoice Director Satyajeet 'Satya' Marar gives a great insight into the evidence backing vaping. He goes in to a lot of detail about the technology, the health benefits and the many studies supporting this life-saving technology:
'What makes this state of affairs more bizarre is that nicotine dissolved in water is treated the same way as highly addictive and harmful opiates. All the while, tobacco-laced cigarettes which are far more dangerous to both active and passive smokers continue to be accessible.'
To read more of Satya's article, click here.
Nicotine vaping should be legal
Sydney Morning Herald
Colin Mendelsohn, a tobacco treatment specialist, published a piece in the Sydney Morning Herald discussing the success of legalising vaping in countries like New Zealand. Colin is also an Associate Professor in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at UNSW, and he's pushing the TGA to review their stance on vaping:
'With appropriate controls, the widespread availability e-cigarettes containing nicotine has the potential to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Australian smokers.'
Read the original article here.
State government is not seeing the light on vaping
Herald Sun
The government saying that something is 'fair and reasonable' doesn't make it true. So Terry Barnes is spot on when he calls on the Victorian government to listen to public opinion and – gasp – evidence! He debunks government-perpetuated lies about vaping brilliantly:
'While citing the views of government agency VicHealth and the Cancer Council of Victoria, [Health Minister] Ms Hennessy hasn't mentioned two recent British reports assessing ECs as invaluable quitting aids for smokers and at least 95 per cent safer than combustible tobacco.'
Do you agree with Terry? Read more on what he had to say here.
Quitting smoking made me a criminal
Joe Hildebrand cites personal experience when he talks about how vaping is literally adding years to his life. Like the rest of us, he's shocked that vaping is a criminal act. The government needs to look at personal stories, public opinion and evidence, and stop sticking its head in the sand:
'This is the nanny state gone insane. And other countries know it. In the UK, where e-cigarettes are perfectly legal and even encouraged, the peak health body Public Health England recently concluded that "using EC (electronic cigarettes) is around 95 per cent safer than smoking" and that "smokers who have tried other methods of quitting without success could be encouraged to try e-cigarettes".'
Read the full article to see what else Joe had to say.
Decision could cost millions of Australians $6000 a year
Another fantastic article by Joe Hildebrand discusses the cost of the TGA's reckless decision to keep vaping illegal. He argues that the poor will be hit the hardest, and that switching to (and legalising) vaping would make smokers 'richer and healthier.' Here's an excerpt from the beginning of the article:
'A federal government decision that was quietly slipped through last month could potentially cost millions of people more than $6,000 a year — and it's the poor who will be the hardest hit.
That's how much a typical smoker could save if they switched to e-cigarettes but the Therapeutic Goods Administration last month ruled to keep the quitting devices illegal.'

Independence v accountability
Australian Financial Review
Dean Smith discusses the trade-off between independence and accountability, referencing the TGA as an independent body making illogical decisions. This, Dean argues, is the downfall of 'independent' and therefore 'unaccountable' bodies:
'This is what happens when power is devolved from a democratically elected body to an unaccountable one. You end up with a ridiculous situation where people who want to improve their own health are prevented from doing so by people who "know better".'
Dean's full article has been published by the Australian Financial Review.

The innumerous potholes on Bengaluru's roads are as much about the sorry state of affairs in civic administration as they are about the heavier-than-usual rainfall that the city received this season. The battering has been so severe that there's probably no road in the city without the visible symptoms of rain damage. The gaping potholes, some big enough to swallow people and small vehicles, expose bad planning, and, more seriously, the blatant corruption in execution of civic works.
The city corporation, the BBMP, has estimated that about 250 major roads have suffered damage, but in reality, the destruction seems much more extensive. Entire stretches have been ruined in certain areas, with even highways bearing testimony to the poor quality of construction and upkeep. After a campaign in The New Indian Express, the BBMP commissioner has promised to fix the roads in 10 days. Experts say a properly laid road should last at least three years, and if quality materials are used, it should not need major repairs for up to five years.
But roads in Bengaluru don't seem capable of weathering even a single spell of rain. One, the road contractors neither use quality materials nor follow proper guidelines. Two, officials whose job it is to ensure quality not only fail to do their job but also allow irregularities in collusion with greedy contractors and politicians. Three, poor maintenance of drains and their encroachment leads to flooding even during short spells of rain—water stagnation is the main cause of road damage. Then there are other issues like frequent digging of roads, unscientific repairs and civic agencies' preference for quick-fixes than long-term solutions. The bad roads in Bengaluru tell what primarily ails our civic management: lack of accountability. It's time contractors, officials and their political masters are held responsible and made to pay for their failures. Fixing potholes is a short-term solution, it's the system that needs to be fixed for a lasting effect.

Hello I am Admin.
Fostering Transparency and Connections Through Workplace
- July 25th, 2017
- .
7 min read
Being a 24/7 running company, Plaxonic has employees from night and day shifts. Catching up with all the updates from both shifts was getting troublesome and we were looking for a platform that can bridge this gap and connect people together. It was during this time, we came across this amazing digital platform, Workplace by Facebook. Earlier, we were using Skype but never got to see such employee engagement as we saw with Workplace. Must say, when it comes to giving your employees the power to share ideas, exchange thoughts and make the professional environment open, friendly and connected, Workplace nails it.
This product features all the basics from Facebook such as group chat, direct messaging, reactions, news feed and live video streaming. We started with it in October 2016 and it was welcomed with fervor and gusto by everyone.
How Workplace Has Jazzed Up Our Work Culture
1. Improved Communication With 'Groups'
Workplace allows us to bind team members into a single thread through groups where they can chat with one another, search for old threads and attach large files that can be accessed by the added people. Discussing strategies, brainstorming industry trends and growth initiatives has got easier this way. This has been very helpful in replacing emails which were quite annoying and irrelevant at times.
2. Skipping Emails Don't Trouble Anymore With 'News Feed'
Updating employees about every single company news through emails was a bit difficult. With Workplace, this issue is chopped off completely now as employees are instantly presented with news feeds regarding the important posts of the day. Whether there's an announcement from the CEO, changes in HR policy or some post by a co-worker, notification is sent to everyone.
3. We Keep Things Lively With 'Live Videos'
We enjoy broadcasting live videos featuring birthdays, work anniversaries, new employees on-board, festivals celebrations, excursion activities and more. Nothing could be better than this to give everyone the dose of excitement visually even when people are away from office.
4. 'Polls' Are The New Way To Enjoy Retreat Trips
Every time we hit our quarterly target, it's a call for retreat, fun and relaxation at some destination out of the town. To choose the place, we organize polls where employees can select the location they are interested in from a given set of options. Also, they can add their personal choices. Getting to know which place is leading with maximum votes and those guesses about the final destination keeps everyone excited and pumped up.
5. Welcoming New Products Together
Ideas and innovations keep floating in Plaxonic 24/7, which often lead to invention of new products. To keep everyone notified about them and take their feedbacks and suggestions, Workplace has been the best tool.
6. Admiring Hardwork & Efforts Through 'Hall Of Fame'
We absolutely love doing this. Talented, skilled and productive employees are the pillars of our company. Client feedbacks and appreciation are posted and shared with everyone to boost the confidence of people and keep them motivated in their work.
7. Organizing Various Events And Team Building Activities
To bring our employees closer, the first event we created was 'Secret Santa' and it worked the way we expected. After all, who won't love getting surprise gifts and that too from someone they have no idea about. Likewise, we held fitness challenges, PPL (Plaxonic Premier League) and both these activities have helped Plaxonians engage much better.
Workplace has increased the agility of responses and sealed the communication barrier that existed earlier. We are totally smitten by the way it has made our office lively and energetic where people work with taste of fun every now & then.

Amiodarone linked to Cancer Risk in MenApril 30, 2013 Health Care Comments Off
The risk of cancer is increased in men taking amiodarone particularly in those with extensive exposure to the drug as per a retrospective study. Among men taking amiodarone, the risk for any cancer rose by almost 20% compared with the general population, according to Chia-Jen Liu, MD, of National Yang-Ming University Hospital in Yilan, Taiwan, and colleagues. And for men whose cumulative defined daily doses in a year exceeded 180, the risk was 46% higher the researchers reported online in Cancer.

Demented Canadian Santa Claus
Talk about a "nasty Santa". Someone in the Canadian force of Santas who write letters to children went wrong, very wrong.

You know the Christmas holiday has run its course when you read something like this, eh?

Digital Signage
Digital signage is a form of electronic display that shows videos, images, text, web content in public and private environments for informational or advertising purposes. A digital sign usually consists of a computer or playback device connected to a large, bright digital screen such as an LCD or plasma display.
Digital signage is used in retail, schools, libraries, corporate settings, medical facilities, transportation hubs, hospitality and other public venues. Digital signage displays are most commonly controlled by personal computers or servers, through the use of either proprietary or public-domain software programs.
There are several advantages of using digital signs: they can be updated frequently at poentially no added cost; they offer dynamic, eye-catching content; and because they are designed to minimise power draw and don't require the raw materials neccesary for physical, printed signs, they are often more environmentally friendly than alternative signage.
The applications for digital signage are diverse, but include:
Make a lasting impression on new clients, employees and guests with lobby display solutions. Highly flexible and instantly updateable, digital displays give your organisation the ability to tailor media-rich content for your clientele. Your office can evolve to provide dynamic branding opportunities, or faciitate communication through interactive displays.
Digital signage can help you achieve campus-wide connectivity. Communicate with students and faculty's via bulletins, class notices and event promotions. Impress prospective students, parents and visitors by demonstrating your school's adoption of technology. Send an environmentally conscious message by drastically reducing usage of paper, ink and plastics. Digital signage could also be used to generate revenue, by displaying sponsor messages.
Hospitals could benefit from digital signage in a variety of applications: they can be deployed at reception areas for touchscreen way-finding assistance; used for more efficient information distribution concerning services such as opening hours for the visitor's centre, giftshop and chapel; and could entertain or occupy patients in the waiting room.
Impress your customers with cutting-edge solutions such as interactive maps, self-check-in kiosks, dynamic schedules and instant traffic, flight and weather updates. Allow your patrons to be as self-sefficient as they desire.

Harvest Date September 24 - October 2
Growing Season 2008 began with an exceptionally dry spring and early bud break. Frosts in April significantly lowered cluster counts. Weather stabilized and warmed through summer, with warmer temperatures continuing through harvest. A smaller crop of high quality fruit was able to ripen fully and evenly, developing an excellent balance of sugars and acid. Overall, the 2008 wines are bright and expressive with well-articulated flavors.

Check Up from the Neck Up
Insights and perspectives on injury prevention, rehabilitation, health and fitness
For Every One Pound Increase In Neck Strength, Odds Of Concussion Decrease By 5%
FACT: Strengthen the neck - the shock absorber for the brain - and decrease your odds of being concussed
Want proof? Read this 2 1/2 year study of 6,704 High School athletes by the most respected researchers in the field: Christy Collins, Erica Fletcher, Sarah Fields, Lisa Kluchurosky, Mary Kay Rohrkemper, Dawn Comstock, Robert Cantu.
Neck Strength: A Protective Factor Reducing Risk For Concussion In High School Sports.
When I introduced the Iron Neck back in 2012 there wasn't proof that neck strength could help better protect against concussions. As a matter of fact, I ran up against a lot of opposition with that statement.
I recall my first Strength Industry Convention when I debuted the Iron Neck, I can still picture the incredulous looks I got from strength coaches as they walked pass by my booth. The ones I got to stop would not try it - I could barely get them to hold it. The encounter would almost always turn into a debate as to why neck strength could help protect against concussions.
It's amazing how four years has changed these interactions at Strength Conventions. I just returned from the NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) Convention in Nashville and we could not keep up with the traffic at the booth. Coaches are being held more accountable than ever to better protect their kids from head injuries on the field. With a growing number of NFL and major college programs incorporating the Iron Neck into their training programs, word of its efficacy has spread. Most encouraging is the wide acceptance of neck training as an essential part of any proactive concussion management program.
The Iron Neck is designed to train the neck through the same movements athletes make on the field, building tremendous neck strength and increasing range of motion very quickly. It is averaging 2 inches of neck circumference growth in the first month in the high school athlete population.
Now that coaches accept the importance of neck strength in reducing concussion risk, I hope they will see the value in the Iron Neck as a powerful tool that empowers them to better protect their kids quickly.

I Hate You; Can You Pick Me Up
The parent child relationship is the most unique of relationships. It is also the most difficult to figure out. It is parasitic. It is symbiotic. It is dynamic and therefore often changing. It is exhilarating. It is frustrating. And that is for both parties.
In the world of addiction the parent/child relationship is even more challenging for both parties. Children will be children no matter what age and often have a complete inability to "cut the cord" even if the relationship is an unhealthy one. Parent often are co-dependent and have an inability to "walk away" even if it is everyone's best interest.
Thank God for the addict that parents don't give up. They are resilient. They take every punch that an addict can give and keep moving forward. They continue to be willing to wrap their arms around their child and console them. No matter what.
The addict however is a different story. They want to believe that they are independent. They want to believe that they have grown up and can make their own decisions. They want to believe that it was their parents who screwed them up and that if it wasn't for their parents they would be just fine. Bulls_ _ t!! Addicts often direct their anger at their parents but it is all very displaced anger and is often inappropriate and unfounded. At the same time as soon as things go South and someone needs to be called that someone is always a parent. Parents will rescue. For better or worse, parents will rescue.
All of the above leads to a tremendous need for family therapy whenever an addict enters treatment. Never neglect or minimize the power of the parent/child relationship. Making it right will go a long way towards successful recovery.

Cable project to boost Asia connectivity
By William Dennis
Telekom Malaysia is contributing $140 million to the cost of a $430m submarine cable to be built by Japan's NTT Communications that will give Malaysia new links with Japan and Hong Kong.
TM will own two pairs in the six-pair optical fibre cable system. NTT will own the remaining four pairs, which it will develop with Philippines Long Distance Telephone Company and Singapore-based Starhub to provide landing points in their respective countries
Known as Cahaya Malaysia, TM's two pairs will link Malaysia to Japan under Phase 1 of the project which will be commissioned in June 2012. A spur to Hong Kong will be added six months later when Phase 2 is completed and commissioned.
Spanning 7,200km, the system will be constructed by NTT's technology partners Fujitsu and NEC Corp. It will use dense wavelength division multiplexing technology and is designed for a transmission speed of 40Gbit/s, with a total capacity of 15Tbit/s. It is expected to reduce latency by 25 per cent.
TM's group chief executive Zamzamzairani Mohd Is said the system would also provide an alternative, diverse routing within the Asia Pacific region to avoid areas prone to seismic activity. In 2006, earthquakes in Taiwan damaged submarine cables, disrupting Internet connections in the Asia Pacific.

"We had a relaxed, rustic wedding on 19th August 2017. With a church ceremony, my Sophia Tolli Novella gown was perfect for walking down the aisle, followed by a journey to our relaxed venue at The Cock O Barton on the Welsh border in VW camper vans. A John Deere Tractor was also featured as my husband works in agriculture. A quirky, relaxed wedding with some glam and sparkle thrown in worked beautifully, and everyone commented on my dress! I bought my gown from Wife To Be in Warrington, Cheshire."

Compromising between my suggestion and Ryan's, here's a poll to see if we can get a grip on where the majority of our league wants our playoof future.
Morg's previous poll found the voters favoring 6 teams vs 8, by a 15-11 margin.
I'm guessing some of those 6-team voters would consider voting for 8 if byes were involved.
I agree with Ryan that # of teams is important, but I think we need to establish if there will be byes at the same time.
This poll should be able to hash that out.
If one of the above options recieves minimal votes, or there's obvious gridlock, we can try to release a new poll with only 2 options.
The last poll also saw 15 in favor of top 3 or 4 in the division vs 11 favoring not necessarily top 3 or 4. That can be determined after # of teams and bye are figured out.
This of course would still have to go through amendment voting or fiat, and wouldn't take place until next season at the earliest.
I'll leave this poll up through most of the offseason.

Great Commission Collective (www.gccollective.org) is an international family of churches and strategic partners that exist to glorify God by planting, strengthening, and multiplying Great Commission Churches around the world.
We believe that God's glory leads God's people on God's mission, and that worshiping churches are sending churches committed to invading the darkness of the world with the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As a Great Commission Collective Church we are committed to fervent prayer, bold preaching, passionate worship, purposeful disciple-making, courageous evangelism, and strategic church planting all for the glory of God.
"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." - Habakkuk 2:14
Vertical. It's a summary term for everything that we believe about the church.
Ephesians 3:21 lays out our highest purpose, "to him TO HIM (emphasis added) be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
The purpose of the church is not something we get to fashion according to our own whim, or subjective sense of God's leading. The purpose of the church is doxological not soteriological. The purpose of the church of Jesus Christ is not to reach people, or feed the poor or any of those important 'by products.' The purpose of the church is to elevate and honor God's great Son in the minds and hearts of those who gather in His name. PERIOD. When that truly happens, all the other good things happen too. When that focus is neglected nothing that 'happens' is lasting or worthwhile.
Everything that happens when the church gathers is for that single VERTICAL purpose.
Learn more about Vertical Church at VerticalChurchBook.com.
A group of eighteen people from across the northwest suburbs of Chicago joined together to form a new church. These people had a vision for proclaiming the authority of the Word of God without apology, lifting high the name of Jesus through worship, believing firmly in powerful prayer, and sharing the good news of Jesus with boldness. Harvest Bible Chapel was born on September 18, 1988, with twenty-seven-year-old James MacDonald serving as the Senior Pastor. Since then, Harvest has grown to a multi-site church of more 13,000 people meeting on seven campuses each weekend; an international broadcast ministry that reaches over three million people every week; a global church-planting ministry that planted more than 160 churches as well as a training center for future Senior Pastors. It is the home of a thriving Christian school with more than 600 students, a biblical counseling center, a fruitful worship ministry called Vertical Worship, the newly launched Harvest Studios, and has a year-round camp in Michigan that ministers to more than 1500 people annually. "This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes" (Psalm 118:23).
James MacDonald provokes Christians to think and act on their faith. His Bible teaching ministry, Walk in the Word, emphasizes the precise exposition of God's Word and compels listeners to life application. Every 30-minute program heard on over 1,100 stations across North America is designed to ignite passion in the people of God through the proclamation of truth.
Walk in the Word is widely known as a radio ministry; however, its reach and impact continue to expand through audio, video, and printed resources, as well as listener events. Online listeners and podcast subscribers make the web our fastest growing audience, with over 100,000 podcasts downloaded monthly.

Wow Moment to Meet the PM at Safaigiri: Frankfinn South Ex
Following the path of Clean India Campaign, an initiative taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India Today Group initiated another campaign to serve the same purpose under the name, Safaigiri.

Attendees of the award function cum Singathon celebration, danced to the tunes of leading Indian singers including Asha Bhosle, Ayushmann Khurana, Daler Mehndi, Hans Raj Hans, Kailash Kher, Papon and Sonu Nigam. These music marvels spread awareness on importance of cleanliness and hygiene, as they support the cause, via their music.

Wedding dress shopping is hard for us colour lovers, with only the odd blush frock catching our eye amongst the sea of white. But fear not, my colourful companions, for I have just discovered Enzoani gowns! There are some beautiful ivory choices (I love Kaya for the Grecian goddess look and Inez for simple elegance) but Enzoani also have some fabulous options for those of us that want to add a bit of colour to our big day…
Well helloooo drama! I'm not a huge fan of lace but black lace is a different story. There's so much to love about this dress; the sweetheart neckline, the flattering A-line cut and that beautiful scalloped edge hem! If you're dead set on avoiding white then what better colour than black?
There's more drama of a different kind from the Ilyssa dress with it's red embroidery and gorgeous V shaped back. This is a showstopper if ever I saw one!
If you're looking for something a bit more subtle how about the Galela gown which offers some classic elegance with a touch of gold beading and embroidery?
Subtle is not the word for the Dillon dress. Wow is the word for the Dillon dress! I love how conservative it is from the waist down but that black jacket is something else! The two extremes balance each other out perfectly.
This watercolour beauty is by far my favourite. It is such a pretty print and that delicate beaded belt just sets it off perfectly. I'm a little bit in love with it and a little bit miffed that it doesn't have a lovely name like the others!

According to the Associated Press, "More adults visited President Obama's campaign website in January than the four Republican hopefuls combined." Politico observed that while part of that is due to Obama's high visibility as the incumbent president, Obama also has two websites – the White House site and the campaign site, meaning that half of his traffic is still more than the combined traffic for all the Republicans.
What does this mean in practical terms? We know that Obama raised about $500 million online in the last election cycle. He had over a million people on his text-messaging program. He had over 2 million profiles on his website. He had 5 million supporters on other websites. Julius Genachowski, who ended up running the FCC, put together the online effort. John McCain, by contrast, trailed dramatically in terms of Facebook and MySpace support; he also got destroyed in terms of fundraising.
The Obama campaign is sophisticated and fast-moving, while the Republican campaigns are slower and more unwieldy – a shocking fact, since conservatives like Matt Drudge and Andrew Breitbart have led the way in internet news development. The only Republican with any online fundraising savvy, oddly enough, is Ron Paul, whose supporters routinely flood the zone whenever called upon to do so. What's the lesson? Republicans had better catch on, and quickly. If they don't, it's going to be a long election cycle for them.

Issue picks up by immediately tying together the strands begun in the first issue as well as introducing several new ones to deepen the story. The book is shaping up to be very focused on our narrator Detective Riley, with minimal attention given to the member of Protectors, Inc directly. Just like the first issue the art is really the carrier of emotion in this book, there's a fantastic panel of Detective Riley shielding his eyes from the sun and the shadow creates a perfect domino mask across his face, creating a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for his former life. Protectors Inc. is working with a level emotional subtlety that is refreshing to see in a superhero book.
Protectors Inc #2 is not a long book. The greatest downfall is that it feels like it's over when it's really just getting started. Though it ends of on a promise of excitement in the next issue (no spoilers) I couldn't help but feel that some of what we saw could have tightened up to put a little of what they set up for #3 in this issue.
While not as good as issue one, issue two does push the story forward, if not as much as I would have liked. This is a series that will probably read better in trade since the writing and art are both solid it's just being tripped up by not covering enough ground in each issue. Hopefully we'll see the pace pick up in the next issue now that the world and conflict have been established. At the end of the day I'm not giving up the series, I'll be picking up issue three and my fingers are crossed that things will really be moving by then.

Photochemical reactions of metal nitrosyl complexes. Mechanisms of NO reactions with biologically relevant metal centers
The discoveries that nitric oxide (a.k.a. nitrogen monoxide) serves important roles in mammalian bioregulation and immunology have stimulated intense interest in the chemistry and biochemistry of NO and derivatives such as metal nitrosyl complexes. Also of interest are strategies to deliver NO to biological targets on demand. One such strategy would be to employ a precursor which displays relatively low thermal reactivity but is photochemically active to release NO. This proposition led us to investigate laser flash and continuous photolysis kinetics of nitrosyl complexes such as the Roussin's iron-sulfur-nitrosyl cluster anions and and several ruthenium salen and porphyrin nitrosyls. These include studies using metal-nitrosyl photochemistry as a vehicle for delivering NO to hypoxic cell cultures in order to sensitize -radiation damage. Also studied were the rates and mechanisms of NO "on" reactions with model water soluble heme compounds, the ferriheme protein met-myoglobin and various ruthenium complexes using ns laser flash photolysis techniques. An overview of these studies is presented.

Material Raw wool
ARKET's Raw wool™ yarn is spun from coarse and extra-strong fibres. Through different combinations of knitting structure, tension and needle size, fine and lightweight garments as well as dense heavy knits are produced from the same yarn. The knits are distinguished by a dry hand feel that softens with time as the fibres naturally become smoother and more pliable.
material Raw wool
Material Raw wool
The performance of Raw wool™ is determined by several factors but the fibre diameter – measured in microns – is the single most important characteristic. Wool fibres for clothing typically span from 15 to 25 microns. The lower the diameter (the higher the number), the more prone to wear and tear the knits will be. By using extra-strong 28-29 micron fibres, ARKET has been able to achieve superior durability and a unique appearance of the knitted garments.
Before Raw wool™ can be spun into yarn, the fibres are stripped of grease and impurities. Due to this process, it tends to have an initially dry hand feel, which diminishes over time as the fibres naturally become smoother and more pliable. This way, ARKET's wool knits can maintain their long-lasting quality and gain character with age.
Through different combinations of needle size, tension, ply and knitting structure, the same yarn can be knitted into a variety of outcomes. ARKET Raw wool™ knits go as fine as 16GG for a loose tension and airy feel, whereas heavy knits are made with 7GG to 9GG for a dense structure and maximal insulating properties.

We are pleased to announce the inaugural class of Addiction Medicine Fellows will begin training in July 2017. The addiction medicine fellowship is fully accredited by The Addiction Medicine Foundation. Clinical experiences will be offered throughout the Bay Area including San Francisco, Vallejo, Oakland, and the East Bay with two fellows trained each year.
Kaiser Permanente Northern California provides comprehensive medical treatment to more than 3 million members. Our patients are screened annually for unhealthy substance use and patients are able to ask for treatment, ie "self-refer" when they are ready. This provides a substantial sources of patients asking for assessment of substance use disorders and treatment. Fellows will train in a busy, challenging environment with faculty physicians and treatment teams of psychologists and therapists to provide addiction clinical treatment for adolescents and adults. The 2 addiction medicine fellows will learn in a rich training environment including in-patient consultation and liaison in a general medical hospital, treatment of obstetric patients with SUD and neonates with in utero substance exposure, liver transplant services, opioid treatment programs, and busy outpatient clinical practices providing pharmaceutical treatment. The fellowship offers a 1 year clinical track with an optional second year focused upon research.

Poinsettia Messanger Bag by ThomasPaulMurphy
Check out Red Messenger Bags online at zazzle
Has the image of a Poinsettia petal on the inside!
In summary what you will end up with will be unique and truly a work of art. And something others will likely envy. So get ready for it. See my introduction story for more on this.
Some people have the mentality that everything in life should be clean lines and neat and proper and in black and white. (They will be most envious.)
Have confidence in yourself. If you truly like what you have created you might be a trend setter.
Are you an art or a science? I would argue that the act of creation is an art and therefore you are. That is until all arts can be strictly measured, categorized and labeled, and therefore do not exist and therefore all we have is cold hard calculating science.
Dare to be you
Dare to be true
Dare to change the world for the good
A clean and friendly place as it should
And I dare you to try this project and document the process and the reactions of other people. See if it is similar to my story.
