Let's just say I am a Surgeon and you are a nurse. Why shouldn't I get paid more than you? I spent a long time training in University, not to mention the grueling unpaid work and study just to get into Pre-med.
It takes me approximately 4 years to get a Bachelor's Degree. I spend another 4 years to get my Medical Degree. After medical school I do a residency program, this will last 3-7 years depending on my specialty. I might even have to spend an additional 1-3 years of post doctoral training through a fellowship program. Now I have to get my license and become board certified.
After all my studying and internships it doesn't get any easier. I have long work days, on-call days. Don't work 5 days like we take for granted. Surgeons actually have a life in their hands, adding even more stress and pressure to the job. Why shouldn't they have a higher salary? They have gone through extensive training, spent an ungodly amount in university fees. Salaries like these are denoted to the profession. I have nothing against nurses (btw), but if it was a high income profession they were seeking they sought the wrong one. Some people do it for the love of the profession, nevertheless they know the average salary before they become a nurse. All professions are difficult. If there is a simple job that pays the big bucks, sign me up!
What you really should be asking is why shouldn't we do away with social welfare?? Why do we continue to provided financial support to those who don't work AT ALL?! Some of these don't meet qualifications for get a job. Shouldn't the aid go the educating these individuals with skills, so they can attain an income?
What about criminals? e.g. Drug-dealers who don't pay tax and risk the lives of others. what about celebrities? They're earning millions, they break all the rules, they endorse products so WE buy them!
You can't simply determine which jobs are harder than others. Have you done them all?
Nurses do the jobs that doctors do not want to do. They are the ones who do all the caring and looking after of the patient. They endure terrible situations, and they do this on comparatively low incomes. Some doctors on the other hand have what amounts to a cushy desk job. Being a doctor means to be a part of a fairly exclusive club instituted to exclude those who are already trapped in a societal prison of low economic status. The priveleged few think that they deserve the further privilege of a large income. If we lowered their wages, we could make them work harder while simultaneously making it easier for more people to become doctors, which would save more lives. At the other end, by raising the wages of nurses, we could get more people to become nurses, which would ease the burden of health care more so. It's a win, win, win idea. The fact that it can be so easily dismissed shows the ugly nature of mankind where it values the brutality of capitalism over human life.
personally, I have noticed that every time I was promoted to a higher paying role, my job got easier. I resigned from those jobs and I now work in a warehouse.
Nurses do not want to do the job doctors do, otherwise they'd be doctors - not nurses. If we lower the wages of doctors, lawyers etc. then whats the point in the extra training and education. I wont bother be a doctor, I'd be a bus driver where i can sit on my behind all day. This debate is not on the injustice of nurses. You anger is misplaced, it is not Doctors that set the wage of the nursing profession. So lets say the majority of people then wanted to become nurses, then we'd have too many nurses. Then we cant afford to pay all the nurses, so then they get a wage decrease to allow all nurses to actually have work and some sort of an income.
What about home-care, the individuals that take care of the elderly? surely they deserve a pay rise.
What about vet nurses? They do all the jobs the Vets don't want to do. They are the ones who do all the caring and looking after of the patient. They endure terrible situations, and they do this on comparatively low incomes. Lets give them a pay rise too. Who else is next?
Teachers are empowering the young minds of today!! Those too.
And so on and so on.
Next thing we have is inflation, as peoples income increases so does the cost of living. Bubble builds, bubble bursts. Recession
What do you propose we do with celebrities?? They really rake in the big bucks! Cap them at minimum wage? Where do we put the rest of the money earned. Charity?
Your job got easier? I'm genuinely curious. Anytime I've gone up in rank, the responsibility is piled on and with that comes stress. And I'm the fall guy.
do you propose we all have an equal income?
There is income inequality in this world. Unfortunate, yet true.
** Apologies if there is no sources etc. as this seems more of an informal debate**
Vetinary surgeons are overpaid. Why even have vets? If we shot all the sick animals there would be no need for vets at all. Vets are a waste of money. It is stupid American things like pet insurance that has pushed up the price of vets - something that the vets themselves probably lobbied for in order to gain more wealth - a symptom of greed bought on by the overpayment of vets.
Bus drivers do deserve a pay rise. Driving a bus is not just about sitting on your bum. A bus driver may endure all kinds of danger from the public. Unlike vets, they are responsible for the safety of all the human lives on board - a responsibility that is greater than the responsibility of a vet.
Lawyers should not be paid the extravagant fees that they demand. Lawyers are the true scums of the earth, always manipulting the truth in favor of the entity with the most money. They don't care about truth or ethics or morals, all that takes a backseat to money. They are the antithesis of all that my argument stands for.
Increasing minimum wages does not hurt the economy. Every bit of historical evidence shows that lowering or maintaining low minimum wages stagnates the economy while stimulus packages help avert economic collapse. It is simple logic: if people can't afford to buy stuff then businesses will fail.
The so called "stress" of higher paying jobs is an absolute cop out and an outrageous excuse to proclaim entitlement to luxury. Billions of people around the world can barely feed themselves, yet they work grueling hours in conditions that the likes of you would not be able to tolerate for a minute. Do these billions of people deserve a further pay cut because they are not as "stressed" as you? Do you want to take more food out of their children's mouths so that you can maintain your unjustifiable income?
Hard work deserves proper remuneration. Those who have high level jobs need to humble themselves for humanity, or else be legislated against by a wage reduction. Perhaps they should even be made to work for free. After all, they already have decent houses to live in. Most people in the world have absolutely nothing. The privileged people should be made to work for the unprivileged. Not the other way around as it is today.
To say we should abolish livestock. Is unbelievable, that selfishness has caused the world to become what it is.
They have given US so much I can't even begin to educate you on this. They have given us food, when we would have starved. They provide sport and entertainment. Humankind would not survive without all gods creatures big or small. This Earth is not ours, we merely share it. I do not like bees but they are vital to our environment. If there was no need for vets, then there really would be no vets. Supply equals demand and all that.
Do not manipulate this debate with your stories of sick childten. I am sorry to hear about your child, that is not a nice thing for parent or child to endure. My mother had cancer, the nurses were so kind to her. And I am forever greatful for them, as I am for the doctors. Without them she might not be with me today. I couldn't imagine a world more bleak, than one with my mother in it. They performed the surgery, they had diagnosed her and nurses cared for her. Wages for each profession are correlated to supply and demand. The least popular professions had higher wages because of fewer individuals seeking that career. Like tree surgeons, horse riding, oil workers etc. get danger money.
Maybe America is not for you? Maybe that's were this issues are coming from, your own dislike of your own country. Because all these issues have been looked at before. If the world was perfect we could all have the same wage and then the career everyone sought is out of pure love for the job and not overshadowed by greed or to seek a better life for themselves.
Now don't say only the privileged get education. My parents came from large families, not enough food, clothes or beds but they did the best the could. And between them built a more comfortable life for themselves and their family. I'm so grateful, I know the clothes on my back and my education is a product of hard work and devotion.
And when I have my own family I will give them everything I didn't have because that's all we would ever want for our children. To be loved and happy, to know no struggles. That's impossible, doesn't mean I won't try. You can never have it all, even the highest paid celebrities have depression and internal struggles. Because they have all the riches in the world but not much of a life, not a life they are free to do what they please with. But that's the sacrifice they made, and the sacrifice people in demanding jobs make. To work long hours and might not get to see their kids as often as they'd like. Money is a trivial thing to argue. Any life is a blessing. Health is a blessing, and if we are unfortunate to become ill - luckily there are well trained medics to take care of us. And what is a life worth to you? What are your children's lives worth, your pets? Wouldn't you give them the clothes of your back if that's what they sought?
Maybe I should get a pay rise from driving my car? Same thing really? I face all kinds of treachorous conditions from dangerous drivers.
And if business fail? Economics argue the way out of a recession is to spend and spend. To pump money back into the economy. What about those business owners, who have now lost their only source of income. Never had the privilege of education and became a business person.
If you had a job that paid you well, then what's your problem. You had luxury in your hand and you turned it down? Because that is your decision. You made it, so you can't complain.
Higher paid workers are not taking food out of anybodies mouths. That notion is ridiculous, the best I can do if support local businesses and try and save for university. Those are third world countries who don't have enough resources. There are doctors, nurses and teachers who volunteer, charities who devote their life to help world hunger. Lawyers taking a pay cut won't resolve this.
No one should have to work for anyone freely against their wishes, what you discribed is discrimination and slavery.
I will end this round. Your angst on life is disappointing, I also hope for a better life for everyone and children in particular. But aggression like so will not succeed in doing that.
Thank you for participating in this debate.

Antonio McBride Villasana, the man who's concentrated cannabis "honey oil" operation most likely caused an explosion and fire at a Goleta apartment in July 2014, recently pleaded no contest to charges related to the incident. Those charges included two felonies — arson of an inhabited residence and manufacturing of a controlled substance — and one misdemeanor count of child endangerment, related to a neighbor's child.
In a Thursday press release, the District Attorney's Office said Villasana — who "suffered serious burns" in the July 21, 2014 apartment fire — was sentenced to 180 days in County Jail and five years felony probation. He was ordered to pay restitution for damages caused by the explosion and fire and to register as an arsonist for the rest of his life. According to the DA's Office, the county fire department investigator "concluded that the explosion likely resulted from the flammable butane gas, which collected inside the walls of the apartment and ignited when it encountered an ignition source."
Butane gas is often used as a solvent to extract much-coveted hash oil, concentrated THC also known as "honey oil" and "wax," from marijuana. It's a risky process that has garnered local authorities' attention in the past few years due to its delicate margin of error. In Santa Barbara County, "Those who manufacture Butane Honey Oil may be prosecuted for numerous drug-related charges, as well as 'strike' offenses, including arson, if the manufacturing results in a fire or explosion," stated District Attorney Joyce Dudley in the press release.

People interested and involved in motor sport have been lifting their hats off for the first 4 months of the World Rally Championship (WRC) season, and with a reason. Promising to put up a 150-people organization in a year and a half, to make a competitive and robust racing car from scratch would have alone been a move bold enough from Toyota and its team manager Tommi Mäkinen. Placing the operation to the tiny village of Puuppola about 15 km north of Jyväskylä was an additional spice to the soup.
The results as of May 2017 have been a clear overkill. The team has not only survived on the circuit, but it has already won one race of the competition, it has been on the podium in others, and all of its three drivers have scored WRC points. Mäkinen, an archetypal representative of understating Finns, could (but most likely will not) talk like a Ostrobothnian carpenter describing the results of his work: "I just try to make it good, but it somehow gets to be excellent". One can easily guess the flow of interview requests and ideas of articles that journalists ask from Mäkinen. The storyline is still short. However, the experiences from this success would provide learning not only from the sports and motorsports angle but also from the broader lens of management and leadership. We try to understand the factors contributing to this success with the aid of management development frameworks and theories.
Hitting the market at the time of technological discontinuity
Harvard professor Clayton M Christensen made already in 1990s an interesting finding: when key technologies in an industry change, the dominant firms in the "new world" will not necessarily be the ones they used to be. The industry originally under Christensen´s study was external computer memories – disk and diskettes: from 5.25-inch floppy disks to 3.5 inches, then to hard disks. Why do the best firms of their breed tend to miss the train of change then? Christensen had altogether five complementary explanations for this. One of those seems to make a clear match with the topical case of Toyota and rallying: the capabilities of an organization define its incapabilities. Very few companies are brave enough to admit that a big part of their legacy in knowledge, practices, facilities and machinery are not assets in the new landscape, but rather a burden that brings with them inertia, force of slowness. The one starting from a clean slate has then an upper hand to react, adapt and proact!
The same plot is in the early writings of the forefather of innovation theorists and researchers, Joseph Schumpeter, who proposed in 1930s that at times every industry is shaken by waves of creative disruption, that rearrange competitive positions and rewrite "the rules of the game". In the current world of rally this kind of wave was bought about by the new rules on engines and aerodynamics. And to this tipping point Mäkinen´s team hit with the right angle of entry. Mark Jenkins from the Cranfield University in England made the same observation: technological evolution often means competitive revolution! His object of study was close to our case in discussion in this post, as he was observing the success and failure in Formula 1 race driving. Do you remember what happened to Lotus, Brabham, and Tyrrell? Where is McLaren right now?
All in their places – a place for all
Organizations are created to accomplish a clear mission. In the beginning of the trajectory all people involved are in the very core, all are needed to "get the job done". But over time things do change. Geoffrey A. Moore from Chasm Group observed that when organizations continue to develop and grow, they start establishing context- and support processes that do not offer any true advantage but instead eat the resources as well as the energy and efforts of the management at an accelerating pace.
The emeritus RDI-director of M-real group (predecessor to the stock listed Metsa Board company) described the phenomenon saying that the organizations starts creating "fat of the noblesse", a luxury that a busy newcomer cannot afford. The 150-people operation (with 10+ nationalities) is not in the small end of SMEs, but it is fair to assume that every hiring has been done out of need. Every position contributes to the common goal, and everyone feels important. In fact, 150 can be the lowest possible headcount needed to do what needs to be done, and at the same time the largest that a manager can still have a hand-on touch with. The challenges for the future may be in keeping this agility advantage when the presence of the team on the circuit becomes "business as usual". Interestingly, the new bio-product factory by Metsa Group (the biggest industrial investment in Finnish history after nuclear power plants) some 30 km from the Toyota site also is planned to be run with ca. 150 headcount. The starting point is partly the same: experience combined with a fresh start, new knowledge and new machinery.
The continuation of the Toyota Gazoo story will be fascinating to follow with the lenses of management, leadership and organizational development. Hopefully there will also be setback and unforeseen challenges, as then the team and its management will have an opportunity for further development. As the environment and the team´s position in it evolves, the team my need to reinvent itself, at least partially. One route may be moving from deeply entrepreneurial model towards collaborative management, that might already be taking place.
Critics may point out the (theoretically) unlimited resources of Toyota Corporation as a source of success, but aren´t there more examples of failed attempts of major industrial giants trying to conquer back old positions or new areas than successful ones? One has to remember that money can´t make anyone wiser, and scarcity often has worked as a motivator to lean, agile and most importantly – new solutions. Hopefully members of the team in Puuppola, Estonia and Cologne (the team has spread its resources to three sites) do not start a working day by asking "how to use the budget" but rather "how to win". Following the ideas of Guy Kawasaki, a one-time Chief Evangelist of Apple Inc., this type of a strong internal Mantra (based on the true Meaning, reason of existence of the organization) glues people together and helps them to contribute. Having money in use does not. The third pillar in the GIST-approach (Great Idea for Starting Things) of Kawasaki is the tag line, the phrase mirroring the meaning and the mantra to the public. And what is that in the case of Toyota? Until 2012 it was "moving forward", a statement that was replaced by a more adventurous one: "Let´s go places". That is what they are doing!
Yet another Puuppola miracle is already in the making. The 16-year old Kalle Rovanperä, the son of former WRC driver Harri Rovanperä, has marveled the rallying world for years, in the beginning in modern way via YouTube demonstrating the car handling skills of a then 10-12 year primary school pupil, and lately by live action in Latvian and Italian national championship rallies. Big part of rally enthusiasts seem to believe that the brightest talent of his generation will join Toyota and lead it to the final glory. This may happen or not, but what is sure is that a lot of wise decision in terms of talent management, sports conditioning, technical development and team leadership will be needed. Toyota´s first year back in WRC was pretty much labelled with the "nothing to lose" spirit. Already 2018 will be different, and the competition does not hibernate, either.

Almost most of us have the sweet teeth, and the greater we attempt to control this, the much more we desire the sweet taste and comfort and ease of cakes, snacks, candy, the standard soda, along with other rich sweets. As much while you love this, it has become time in order to reveal an essential and possibly little recognized truth regarding sugar. Aside from sweetening your tastebuds, and fulfilling your fairly sweet tooth, sugar doesn't have health benefits to provide you. Sugar is definitely an unnatural substance that's produced due to an commercial process, known as refining (of sugars cane). While sugars cane itself includes a lot to provide, in the actual refining procedure you overlook all the actual vitamins, mineral deposits, proteins, along with other essential nutrition. So when you're told which sugar isn't healthy, think it. Since most of us are hooked on sugar, listed here are the latest precisely the suggested daily sugars intake.
Suggested Daily Sugars Intake with regard to Adults as well as Children
According to the most recent details in the American Center Association (AHA), the actual recommended every day sugar consumption, that is actually healthy and never harmful for that body, has already been established for women and men. These are the following:
Recommended Every day Sugar Consumption for Males: 36 gr or 9 teaspoons
Recommended Every day Sugar Intake for ladies: 20 gr or 5 teaspoons
Suggested Daily Sugars Intake with regard to Children: 12 gr or 3 teaspoons
The suggested daily sugars intake with regard to diabetics differs from individual to individual, depending upon whether she/he is actually hypoglycemic or even hyperglycemic. It is actually wiser in order to consult a physician to understand your own requirements with regard to sugar prior to following all these information.
Once the recommended every day sugar consumption is voiced of, it refers to not simple sugars that people take within from soda pops and sweets, but sugar from complicated carbohydrates as well as fruit. You aren't being asked to get rid of sugar completely out of your diet, but to pay for the surplus sugar consumed, in the shape of physical exercise. To determine your every day sugar intake isn't a easy task, however, you can certainly control this, and by obtaining the right quantity of exercise, you may regulate the quantity of sugar that's being consumed and digested because of your body.
You aren't new towards the evils associated with sugar. You realize that consuming extra sugar can result in obesity, center conditions, cavities within teeth, bone fragments degeneration as well as, of course may be the main reason behind diabetes. However, you most likely somehow assume these effects aren't applicable for you. Do remember that sugar as your normal soda along with other sweet snacks is definitely an absolutely unnecessary a part of your diet plan. It is really a food additive that's used solely with regards to enhancing it's flavor. While consuming food without sugars is something that you might not even have the ability to fathom, there are ways you may slowly slow up the amount a person consume.
How you can Reduce Your own Sugar Consumption
Drastic decrease in the sugars intake, or even complete eradication, is not really recommended, because as your body can be used to high amounts of sugar, your glucose levels may decrease drastically resulting in several other health problems such because light-headedness, weak point, nausea, and so on. Again, a surplus can additionally cause exhaustion and hyperglycemia. Check out how you are able to slowly as well as steadily reduce the quantity of sugar a person consume every day, and resort for an overall nutritious diet.
Firstly, remember that you're not designed to avoid organic sugars in vegetables and fruit, low-fat dairy products, and entire grains. These constitute the organic sugars which are required for that sustenance from the body.
Avoid prepared foods for example fruit flavoured yogurt, granola pubs, peanut butter, salad dressings for example mayonnaise as well as honey-ranch, cooked beans, sugar-coated cereal, soda pops, candies, processed fruit, processed fruit drinks, etc. The actual list is actually endless. Even coughing syrups as well as chewing gums ought to be avoided. A few of these foods contain considerable amounts of sugar one of the various things that contribute for their delicious flavor. A astonishing revelation is actually that actually one piece of wheat grains bread offers about 5 gr of additional sugar. Which means if a female eats the slice associated with whole-wheat breads, she offers accomplished 1/4 associated with her suggested daily sugars intake.
Checking meals labels before you decide to purchase various products. Additionally, sugar isn't labeled merely as sugars, but passes several additional names. A few of these include molasses, sucrose, xylitol, hydrogenated starch, galactose, sweetie, fruit liquid concentrate, dark brown sugar, higher fructose hammer toe syrup, upside down sugar maltose, turbinado sugars, glucose, walnut syrup, polyols, sorghum, dextrose as well as dextrin.
Aside from avoiding prepared foods, keep a wrist watch on the quantity of sugar a person add to the food you consume. 1 teaspoon associated with sugar inside a walk is okay. But for those who have several glasses of coffee per day, you are simply multiplying the actual calories you're consuming. Attempt to opt with regard to natural sugars substitutes within limited quantities, to replace with the tastes of sugars. Avoid synthetic sweeteners no matter what. The damage they are able to cause is actually worse compared to refined sugars.
Avoid lengthy gaps within meals, or even skipping all of them altogether. The large gaps further boost the sugar urges, and cause you to reach out for anyone foods which are so full of sugar.
It is actually alright to provide in for your sugar cravings every now and then, but don't encourage them you may already know how a lot damage they are able to cause. Try a bit of dark chocolate rather than milk dark chocolate, or the fruit rather than a dark chocolate bar.
Every period you want to eat sugar, divert the mind. Don't allow you to ultimately reach for that cookie container or the actual granola club, or the actual frozen yogurt (that you might consider healthy). You've been given the prospective, so stay with it. Go for any walk, additionally, it gives you the required exercise to lose those additional sugars.
As may be mentioned many times earlier, together with following the actual recommended every day sugar consumption, you additionally ought to obtain a good dosage of exercise to maintain it controlled and in check. Now you know what sugar can perform to the body, slowly wean the body off the actual sugar routine, and lead a proper life.

For about a decade, an enigmatic kidney disease epidemic has been sweeping across the world's southern hemisphere. While the typical kidney disease patient in the northern hemisphere is older, most of the victims in the current epidemic south of the equator are young males who work outdoors, usually in agriculture. Thousands of Central American young men who work on the sugar cane plantations have died of failing kidneys. In India and Sri Lanka, the crop is rice, but the affliction and the consequences are still the same.
Although the "mystery kidney disease" has attracted plenty of medical attention for about two decades, the definitive cause remains unknown. In fact, the disease is identified as "chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology" (CKDu) to distinguish it from the "conventional" chronic kidney disease (CKD) that afflicts millions of older patients around the world. Dehydration and exposure to pesticides are the suspected causes of CKDu, so it should be relatively simple to implement a preventive strategy. However, the response of governments and the world at large has been woefully inadequate as thousands of vital young lives continue to be lost.
Although the precise cause of CKDu has not been confirmed, a word that is repeated over and over in CKDu research and medical papers is the pesticide name "glyphosate." Marketed most notably by the Monsanto Corporation under the brand name "Roundup," glyphosate has been identified as a likely cause of CKDu. The Sri Lankan government has tried to ban Roundup, but even that move has been stalled by political opposition. If farmers in Sri Lanka discontinue their use of Roundup, it would decrease their rice yield and probably destroy their rice farming operations. A ban on glyphosate was scheduled to begin in El Salvador in 2015, but the product remains legal and available in more than one hundred nations.
Meanwhile, activist groups are fighting Monsanto by working other angles. Fairfood International and the Central American Institute for Social Studies (ICADS), for example, have both publicly "called out" the Bacardi Corporation for purchasing sugar from Central American plantations where workers have been struck with CKDu, although The Bacardi Corporation denies this claim.
WHY IS CKDu AN EPIDEMIC?
Fighting CKDu is complicated by the staggering poverty of the victims and the virtually insurmountable expense of the treatment. In an interview with The Center for Public Integrity, one Nicaraguan laborer – a sugar cane laborer since the age of 14 who lost his father to CKDu and was himself diagnosed with the condition at age 17 – explained his helplessness. "We work there because the company is the only option we have."
In Andhra Pradesh in India, the closest hospital with dialysis facilities is 125 miles away, and in the words of a village leader, the villagers "cannot go to that place because of lack of money, so they are staying here and dying here." According to The Center for Public Integrity, as many as 40,000 Sri Lankan rice farmers and up to 37 percent of the population in villages in Uddanam District, Andhra Pradesh, are slowly and painfully dying from CKDu.
CKDu is already a leading cause of death in Central American countries such as El Salvador and Nicaragua. The disease has overtaken the number of deaths in those nations caused by HIV and diabetes combined. Already, CKDu affects 12 to 18 percent of the general population and 14 to 26 percent of the males in El Salvador and Nicaragua. Rates of kidney disease among younger men in these nations are fifteen times above the rates in the United States. It is only a matter of time before the CKDu crisis reaches similar levels in India and Sri Lanka, where heavy glyphosate spraying in the rice fields has contaminated the drinking water in adjacent villages.
Glyphosate was first synthesized in 1950, and it was discovered to be an herbicide by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970. Monsanto brought glyphosate to market in 1974 under the trade name Roundup. Its qualities as a pesticide are praised by scientists concerned with food production. Australian biologist Stephen B. Powles has written that "glyphosate is a one in a 100-year discovery that is as important for reliable global food production as penicillin is for battling disease," and U.S. Department of Agriculture biologist Stephen O. Duke has described glyphosate as a "virtually ideal" herbicide.
While the direct link between glyphosate and CKDu in India, Sri Lanka, and Central America remains elusive, we know plenty about the kidney diseases that are common in the United States, and here the big threat to kidney disease victims is not a lack of knowledge – it's medical malpractice. A recent study produced by the Institute of Medicine and published by the National Academy of Sciences says that five percent of medical patients in the United States – about twelve million adults – are misdiagnosed every year.
If you are a kidney disease patient in the U.S. and your kidney disease was originally misdiagnosed; if you were given the wrong medication or subjected to inappropriate treatment; or if you've been the victim of a wrongful or unneeded surgical procedure, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice claim and should consult at once with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
With early and accurate diagnosis, most kidney disease patients can be treated, and for many, the disease can be managed with medication without significantly changing one's lifestyle. However, if the results of the diagnostic tests are misread or unrecognized, specialists won't be consulted, treatment won't be ordered, and a patient's condition can rapidly deteriorate, which constitutes medical malpractice. If you are a victim or if you believe that you are a victim of medical malpractice related to kidney disease, make the call at once to an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
Even here in the United States, in far too many cases, early diagnosis and proper treatment of kidney disease does not happen, and patients unnecessarily suffer. If you or someone you love has been misdiagnosed, improperly treated, or injured as a consequence of medical malpractice related to kidney disease, discuss your legal rights and options at once with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

Center of Excellence for Independent Directors (CEID)
...Creating value on Board
VISION: Create a Platform for Excellence of Independent Directors (ID) & Non-Executive Directors (NED) and interact, share, adopt best corporate practices
Before the commencement of the Companies Act, 2013, the independent directors were defined under the Listing Agreement of the nationalised stock exchanged i.e. BSE and NSE under clause 49 which mentioned the eligibility criteria for acting as independent director on the Board of a listed company. The listing agreement further explained the role and duties of the independent directors. Essence of having transparent board was felt since the fall of Asia Markets in 2007-08 and post the scam of Satyam Computers Limited in which case the window dressing of financial statements were not red-flagged by the independent directors in the committee meetings and board meetings of the Company leading to a huge scam of approximately Rs. 7000 Crore sending wave of shock to the investors and Regulators. Ever since, there has been continuous change in the depth of role of independent directors and revolutionary amends are witnessed in the audit procedures and compliance checklists. For better understanding of the role and liabilities of independent directors, the listing agreements were modified to include mandatory training programmes for familiarisation of independent directors with the company and the industry in which the company operates.
On 1st April, 2014, Companies Act, 2013 was notified and implemented by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs which clearly set out the eligibility criteria, qualifications, roles, responsibilities of an independent director under section 149(6). The Act has also prescribed a code of conduct to be adopted by the Board for independent directors under Schedule IV. In order to align with the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made there under, the watchdog of securities market of India, SEBI, amended various regulations including listing agreement of stock exchanges applicable to the listed companies.
SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (LODR) came into effect from 2nd September, 2015. This Regulation along with Uniform Listing Agreement issued and notified by the SEBI has repealed the erstwhile listing agreements. Amongst others, LODR has clearly set responsibility on the Board of Directors to encourage and continue director training to ensure that the directors are kept up to date and facilitate independent directors for better performance. Regulators have taken serious step to ensure that the independent directors not only add value to the business decisions of the Company but also are aware of their rights, duties and responsibility towards the stakeholders of the company.
Unlike the erstwhile listing agreement or Companies Act, 1956, at present an independent director can serve only in maximum seven (7) listed companies. In addition to above, an independent director can serve only for a limited tenure. This has led to scarcity of independent directors. Moreover, the available independent directors are not found suitable for appointment. Looking at the above adversity, National Kannada Education Society (NKES), a registered society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, has established Centre of Excellence for Independent Directors (CEID), an organisation focussed on facilitating and creating 'Independent Directors and Non-executive Directors' by providing familiarisation and training programmes as intended under LODR. These programmes are conducted to explicate interpretation, better understand the legal sphere and notify the nuances of various existing and emerging regulations applicable to industry and companies. It is strongly believed that this initiative will support corporate and independent directors, particularly, in complying with LODR, companies Act, 2013, Schedule IV-Code of Conduct of Independent Directors and grow suitable for appointment and participate in decision making process at any board meetings and/ or committee meetings of companies. CEID seeks to provide a platform to interact and share experiences leading to continuous enhancement of skills and knowledge and performance in the board room. This platform further looks forward to build upon the best practices of corporate governance and aid value addition through independent directors, as desired by various Regulators in India and abroad, principally, to safeguard the interest of the stakeholders and investors of the companies. CEID is located in the premises of NKES at Sewree - Wadala Estate, Scheme No-57, Indulal - D. Bhua Marg, Road No. 7A, Wadala, Mumbai- 400 031 where it conducts its programmes.

A look at how EAB changes lives in the US
Everyone knows that EAB does life-changing work in the Dominican Republic, but we do great work in the US too, through our service-learning immersion program. Since 1999, over 500 youths and adults have participated in this pilgrimage, and each of them has been profoundly affected by the experience. They put what their DR experiences to great work in their adult lives in the US. We present some of their stories here.
Jo Jo Bromfield (Holy Names Academy, summer 2009)
I went to the DR with EAB as a high school senior, then went to Seattle University where I studied theology. In August 2015, I completed a year of full-time service with Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) in Houston, TX, working as the Community Outreach Coordinator for United Against Human Trafficking. The values of JVC— community, spirituality, social justice, and simple living— reminded me of the values I learned during my experience in the DR with EAB, when I was in high school.I carried my experiences from those life-altering two-weeks in the DR to Seattle University and then to JVC. I am forever grateful to EAB for giving me my first understanding of what it means to live in solidarity and work for justice, and I hope to return to the DR very soon.

Making a difference... you can too
If you give people the opportunity they can achieve outstanding things.
It's this simple philosophy that inspires a lot of the work Applecross Rotary does, locally and further afield.
Our projects are equally varied. From our much-loved Rotary Jacaranda Festival, the long-standing
Community and Business Awards, a local Art Show and Sale and our recently established Rotary Shark Tank to help people with great ideas to access funding and mentoring through to our youth initiatives as well as supporting indigenous, mental health and women's refuge projects and delivering major heath and water based projects that will save lives.... we're an ambitious club with the power to get things done.
Applecross Rotary meets weekly but we've embraced a more flexible approach to membership.
We used to be known as a "breakfast club" but we know that doesn't work for everyone so on the first week of each month we meet on a Wednesday evening, usually a 6pm start, and for the rest of the month we meet on Tuesday mornings, 7am for a 7.30am start, at the South of Perth Yacht Club.
We love to welcome visitors so feel free to get in touch and arrange to come along to one of our meetings or regular social events to try us on for size. If you're interested in finding our more about becoming a member please drop us a line.
Change your community with us by volunteering on a local project.
We work with groups and organisations of all sizes.
Be a part of something - with you we can achieve even more!

"Shenda is an inspirational personal trainer. From the first moment I worked with her I felt completely confident that she understood my goals and that she would be able to help me achieve them. I find our sessions fun but focussed and what I particularly like is the way she takes the time to explain the why's and how's of the exercises - so that I know how to make them more effective. In 6 weeks I found I was running quite easily for much further than I ever thought I would. I was also lifting heavier weights and most importantly - enjoying it! Shenda is motivating and encouraging, completely professional in her approach and a pleasure to work with!"
Adela, Blackheath
"After 3 years of not working out and a hefty amount of weight gain, I was worried about my health and limitations. Shenda has helped assuage any fears and eased me back into a healthy regime while pushing me to my limits. With a thorough knowledge and nifty little tricks, she makes our work outs smarter and more fruitful. I look forward to feeling great after each session!"
Shivangi, Millennium Village, Greenwich
"Shenda is a dedicated, enthusiastic, experienced and client oriented personal trainer. Her programme for me reflects my objectives, delivers what it said it would and is great fun to undertake. She said I'd lose weight, I did, she said I'd change shape, I have, she said I'd enjoy boxing, I do. Without Shenda I'd be two stone heavier, 3 dress sizes bigger and far, far less happy. I really couldn't recommend her more."
Sinead, Westcombe Park
"I have always been a keen runner, rower and weight lifter – in the gym that is…I wasn't sure about outdoor exercise when I started Shenda's bootcamps 3 months ago but I haven't looked back. My cardio vascular capacity has improved by 50% - my timed run is now 59 seconds compared to 91 when I started and as Shenda keeps the pace up you never feel cold – even in December!"
Matt, Greenwich
"Shenda's sessions are a great way of exercising without noticing. Her bootcamps are a fun group activity that encourage a sense of team achievement – we're all in it together! Plus the way she talks to the class to explain each type of movement, has taught me more about how my body works than I knew in 40 years of adult life. Looking forward to her classes makes me get out of bed on a cold and frosty morning!"
Alison, Charlton
"Men that are sceptical about getting a hard workout at Shenda's bootcamp need not worry. Shenda makes sure you work to the peak of your ability by adapting each exercise to suit your personal fitness level. She has encouraged me to push up hard during a press up so that I clap before my palms reach the floor again. No mean feat - especially when the person next to you is doing the basic box press up… It's brilliant how Shenda ensures a diverse group of people all have fun with everyone building up a sweat."
Ivor, Blackheath
"Going 3 times a week to Shenda's bootcamp has been great. I love the fact that she tells you WHY you are doing each exercise or stretch, it gives a purpose to doing it. Also the sessions change day to day so you don't tire of doing the same routine. I highly recommend it, its great fun."
Tara, Eltham
"In just 12 weeks of training with Shenda, both one-on-one and bootcamps, I have lost over 1.5 stone and dropped a dress size! Shenda is an excellent motivator and keeps me on track when I have a wobble – without her support I wouldn't have achieved these results. She has given me some great tips on healthy eating and I am confident that in 2012, I will finally reach my goal of fitting into size 12 Diesel jeans"
Yvonne, Eltham

With the patient's agreement, we startedInfliximab (INN; trade names Remicade, Remsima, Inflectra) as an off-label treatment at a dosage of 0.5 mg/kg administered IV at 8-week intervals subsequent to the induction phase. After five months, the active lesions were found to have improved. At 10 months, the lesions were observed to have resolved, leaving persistent cicatricial scars and nodules, and the infliximab was discontinued. Three months later, the patient suddenly developed fever, arthromyalgia, and dyspnea, along with the reactivation of HS lesions, and was therefore hospitalized with a diagnosis of sepsis caused by Acinetobacter baumannii. Moreover, an ulcerative lesion developed on the upper right gluteus and enlarged to the size of 10 × 4 cm within five weeks. Histological examination of biopsy material obtained from the edge of the lesion showed a moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Unfortunately, despite systemic antibiotic treatment (colistin IV), the patient died of complications caused by sepsis.

Well, hello there. I've spent the past couple days battling the flu and I haven't been up for much more than napping and ugly crying at Call the Midwife. So let's see what everyone else has been up to. Starting with this Parisian apartment designed by Laura Gonzalez. It's an absolute stunner.
Just about a year ago, Edward and I decided to check out a little old house in Church Hill more or less on a whim. As much as we'd both loved living in the Fan, we were ready to try something new, and Church Hill was (and is) growing like crazy and looked too fun to pass up. The prospect of buying was more than a little intimidating, but one visit to a sad rental house with an utterly sleazy landlord made the choice easier.
So today I'm sharing a bit of the progress we've made in the months since. We'll start in the living room, which is the first room you see when you come into the house. Like most of the rooms, it's decorated with plenty of of thrifted items and plenty of metals. Unlike the other rooms, we kept the color palette pretty neutral. I suppose not every room in the house can be dark and dramatic.
It's getting to the point in the season where it's cool enough to leave the windows open at night. This is, hands down, one of my favorite things about fall (along with dark nail polish, capes, and loafers). So to celebrate, let's make sure our bedrooms are the perfect cozy sanctuary.
I mean, duh. But getting into a bed with cool, crisp sheets is the best thing ever, so I thought it was worth mentioning this most obvious of bedding essentials.
We always keep a throw over our bed to protect it from dog fur (I can't be the only one who makes decor decisions based on this, can I?), and the added warmth is a definite bonus these days. I'm loving anything that reminds me of preppy fall sweaters, like cable knit, stripes, and plaid.
Because here's nothing cozy about overhead lighting.
Plum & Bow Alba sconce / Faceted stone lamp / Concrete lamp / Dean marble lamp /
Bronze and aged brass lamp
Something plush and furry to make getting out of bed slightly more enjoyable. Sheepskin rugs are great for layering if you already have a rug under your bed.
Indoor plants keep a bit of life in the house year round, and clean the air as a bonus. This Sydney Hale Co. Sea Salt & Bay Rum candle is one of my favorite non-florals (and a local company to boot), which makes it perfect for fall (just please blow it out before you sleep). Add a catchall, water carafe, and a good book, and you have the perfect night stand setup.
For all the color we have throughout the rest of the house, our bedroom is pretty neutral. We have black, white, gray, and metallics. Any color in the room comes from the art on the walls and the jewelry I leave strung about. Eventually I'd like to replace our dresser and bed with something a little less heavy (maybe some wood to warm up the gray and white) but it works for the moment. The walls here are Wickham Gray, which is what we painted the living room as well, because it's just a lovely cool gray. The photos above the dresser are from our honeymoon in Italy, and I'd like to three or six more photos framed and hung above these to add some vertical interest. One of these days, I'll get around to showing you the ugliest ceiling fan on the east coast (currently whirring above our bed), but it's Monday and I don't want to distress you all.
Welcome! I'm Arielle, and this is Scotch & Nonsense. Whether you've come for the home projects, the recipes, or the cocktails, I'm thrilled you're here and I hope you'll stay a bit.
October 2016

Expert: Georgia is trying to deny its blame for high prices for meat2011-07-04 12:50
The Georgian government is trying to justify themselves for their wrong pricing policy on meat, shifting the blame on the European Union. As the "Business-Georgia" reported, this is expert opinion of the economist Irakli Lekvinadze. According to him, the compliance of the EU requirments for security-related products, has no relation to the increase of the price of meat in Georgia. Moreover, the country did not fulfill these requirements - the Parliament postponed the bill.
"European regulation is connected with the growth of meat prices in no way, since the during last period Georgia has not executed any of the terms of the requirements of the EU food safety, the bill was set aside. If the EU regulation will be implemented, prices will affect not only meat, but other products too. It is simply an attempt to justify what is really happening and what is called the formation of new slaughterhouses, when several business groups have taken over the device of slaughters and supply of meat on the market" - said the expert.
"People, who bring the meat to the market, have to pass certain technical regulations, transportation of meat for them became more expensive, and all it has reduced the supply of meat on the market, causing a shortage of meat and, consequently, increase of prices. This is the real reason for what happened. It is not associated with any European regulation "- said Lekvinadze in an interview.

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) September 22, 2016
In response to the recently concluded 2016 World Water Week (August 28 - September 2), Water Life Science® advocate Sharon Kleyne joined presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in calling for advanced new water research, not just in the United States, but around the world. "The United Nations needs to do much more than they've done so far," said Kleyne, host of The Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water radio program. "Hillary Clinton's proposed water plan," Kleyne continued, "would be an excellent model for the UN to consider."
Rep. Jared Huffman of San Rafael, California, couldn't agree more, calling Clinton's plan "a very thoughtful framework. Rep. Huffman added that he especially liked the idea of a national water lab because water currently receives little research money. "She's (Clinton) talking about creating a new national water innovation lab," Huffman said, "like Livermore for energy. It's a great idea."
It's an idea that Sharon Kleyne has supported for more than two decades. Herself the leading water researcher in the world, Kleyne recently joined Dr. Gerald H. Pollack, an internationally acclaimed professor of bioengineering, in calling on foundations and the federal government to reverse the severe cut-off of water funding that took place in the 1950's. "That decision has proved to be disastrous," said Pollack. "The natural fresh water and water vapor of the planet are evaporating faster than they can be replenished," Pollack said.
"If this trend continues," Kleyne added, "we will not be able to sustain life on earth." Kleyne elaborated, explaining that the planet's water vapor is being lost to evaporation caused by pollution, global warming and artificial interior environments featuring air conditioning and central heating.
Kleyne, the founder of Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science® who also discovered a rare Trade Secret tissue culture grade water in Oregon, warned that water crises like the one in Flint, Michigan will become more common unless we reverse our general ignorance about our most important natural resource and our shameful lack of water research. "Water research must be our number one infrastructure priority," Kleyne insisted. "The air we breathe will not keep us or anything else alive if we destroy the water vapor in that air. Remember that we are mostly water," Kleyne continued. "The eye lens is 99 percent water; the brain is 80-85 percent water; the lungs and liver are 70-80 percent water; the blood is 50 percent water; even the bones are 20 percent water. We are fluid. Everything around us is made of water. Hope doesn't keep us alive; the atmospheric water vapor does that. The surface of the eye and the rest of the body must be supplemented every day—and even several times a day—to counteract evaporation of the water vapor," said Kleyne. "That's why I supplement the water vapor of my eyes and skin with Nature's Tears® EyeMist® and Nature's Mist® Face of the Water®.
Kleyne, Dr. Pollack and Rep. Huffman see hope in a water plan like the one Hillary Clinton is proposing. Such an effort can turn the tide, but it will take a long time to recover from water disasters like the one in Flint and others worldwide. "Only comprehensive water education and water research will prevent a Flint water disaster from happening somewhere else," said Kleyne. "The United Nations must become the global leader in water research and the development of new international water technology. Nothing else on earth is more important than water," Kleyne concluded.

Leading Third-Party Management Software Combined With Leading Management Consulting and Implementation Services Will Drive Customer Value and Rapid Time-to-Market
BRANCHBURG, NJ and CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - November 18, 2015) - Hiperos, an Opus Global company, the world's leading provider of third-party management software, and Crowe Horwath LLP (Crowe), one of the largest public accounting, consulting and technology firms in the United States, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver third-party management solutions in the global market.
The two firms will actively collaborate on delivering value in third-party management solutions across a range of industry verticals, with a beginning focus on financial services. Future collaboration is expected in information technology, life sciences, energy, manufacturing and real estate.
"Crowe and Hiperos are a terrific fit," said Greg Dickinson, CEO of Hiperos. "We specialize in delivering world-leading third-party management software-as-a-service, and Crowe specializes in delivering world class third-party management consulting and implementations. Together we can help grow each other's businesses while adding significant value to our shared customers."
Dickinson added, "Success in third-party management requires strong collaboration and cooperation. Our customers' challenges are complex -- it's only with the best quality data, software and services that their needs can be met. The Crowe-Hiperos relationship represents another significant expansion of our growing third-party ecosystem and ability to deliver market-leading solutions."
"The Crowe-Hiperos collaboration is already bearing fruit, with our first major collaborative project now under way. It proves that technology and services combined optimally can trump more expensive services-based solution approaches, and that there are better, more cost-effective ways to solve customer challenges," Dickinson said.
The collaboration is in response to continued pressure on companies to expand their third-party management programs in line with rising governance expectations and regulatory mandates. Many companies have attempted to repurpose older applications and technologies with limited success. There has been increasing recognition of the need to manage risk and performance associated with all third parties -- not just suppliers and vendors, but also distributors, resellers, contract manufacturers, partners, affiliates, brokers and agents.
"At Crowe, we are truly excited about our collaboration with Hiperos," said Michele Sullivan, partner, Crowe Horwath LLP Risk Consulting. "Our clients are demanding comprehensive and cost-effective third-party risk management solutions. Working closely with Hiperos enables us to deliver a superior integrated solution for third-party compliance that will drive value for both existing and future customers. We look forward to rapidly growing this important part of our practice in close cooperation with the Hiperos team."
"As companies outsource ever-increasing proportions of their value chain upstream to suppliers and downstream to distributors and resellers -- yet remain legally liable for their actions -- there is a growing awareness of the necessity to tightly manage and control third-party risk," Sullivan added.
Crowe and Hiperos deliver a range of solutions including third-party risk management, anti-bribery/anti-corruption (ABAC), corporate and social responsibility, supplier risk management, information security/data privacy, performance management and contract risk management. Current activities in North America will soon be expanded into Europe with the opening of Hiperos' new London office. Through Crowe Horwath Global Risk Consulting, Crowe also delivers third-party risk services globally.
About Hiperos Hiperos, an Opus Global company, is the leader in Third-Party Management software, connecting third parties to many of the world's largest companies across a range of industry verticals including energy, financial services, manufacturing, real estate, life sciences, and technology. The company's flagship product, Hiperos 3PM™, is the only solution in the market purpose-built to simultaneously minimize the risks of using third parties while maximizing the value they provide. Implemented by global 2000 companies and business consortiums to address their expanding third-party management requirements, Hiperos 3PM™ has become the industry's most widely used SaaS-based third-party management solution. The winner of industry awards and accolades for the proven value and low cost of ownership it delivers, Hiperos 3PM™ enables companies to protect their brand and revenues by implementing an automated, consistent approach to third-party onboarding, measurement, monitoring and controls, throughout their lifecycle. Hiperos' clients include many of the world's leading companies such as Aetna, Alcoa, AON, Arrow Electronics, Astra Zeneca, AXA, Baker Hughes, Bank of Montreal, Charles Schwab, Dow Jones, Fulton Bank, Halliburton, Huntington Bank, JLL, Kellogg, Kraft Foods, Mondelez, Microsoft, News Corp, New York Community Bancorp, Paypal, Peabody Energy, PNC Bank, Rockwell Automation, Sun Life Financial, State Street, TD Bank, United Technologies and Zion's Bancorporation.

It is an opportunity for all of us as librarians and information professionals to remind everyone that there's more to libraries than books, and to highlight the amazing array of online resources and services that we provide and which can be accessed anytime, anywhere and at the flick of fingertip.
Promotion of library services during the week will include the Library Ireland Week 2016 poster and a vibrant social media campaign which we would encourage you to engage with.
There are also hard copies A4 posters available. If you would like a copy of the poster sent to you, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com, and include in the body of the email your postal address and the number of posters you want.

All you need to do is upload them to https://libraryassociation.ie/node/add
As with last year, we are also asking you to provide snippets of information expressed in one line of text to showcase the depth and variety of services offered by Irish libraries and information services, e.g. did you know that you can access over 260 e-magazines for free in your local library, including Cosmopolitan, Gardener's World and Total Film?
All great content welcome, so please send it on to email@example.com.
We would also love to receive great photos from your library to share on Instagram.

Saudi Arabia is host to 70,000 stateless people called "bidoons" who were born in the country, but cannot register marriages or open a bank account. Bidoons came from nomadic tribes that had traveled around the Middle East, and then were locked into the countries where they existed at the time of the formation of the Arab States.
Bidoons have no rights or identification cards from the state, as they never registered with their host countries. This prevents them from marrying, owning property, or opening bank accounts.
Saudi rights activist Walid Abulkheir said the situation for the biddoons is "chronic… they live in miserable conditions, and life is very difficult for them… (they) made a mistake by not registering with authorities, due to being on the move." He added that the stateless biddoons include naturalized Yemenis who lost their Saudi passports after Yemen took Iraq's side after its invasion of Kuwait in 1990. One Yemeni biddoon fruit seller burned himself alive in May after Saudi officials seized his property and said he did not have a permit.
Some of the stateless were given a black identity card which they have to renew every five years in Hafr el-Batin, in the northeast, but as legal consultant Ahmed al-Anzi, said, "Anyone forgetting to renew the card faces a lot of problems." Al-Anzi said the technology might not help because the lack of the card leaves the stateless person as someone who "does not officially exist."
Even for those who have a card, they are not allowed to own more than one car or own property. Another problem is that renewing the black card can take months, during which bank accounts can be closed.
Kuwait has more than 106,000 bidoons; the United Arab Emirates has roughly 10,000.
