Several companies have them. Values. Either on the wall at the front desk, in the company's handbook or on the website. However, are the defined values really worth anything when they have to contend with many years of deep-rooted habits in a company?
Columbus has been in business for 26 years. A relatively long history in the IT world. And with a long history follows informal rules and deep-rooted habits! This applies not only to Columbus, but to all businesses.
Recently, I visited a large Danish manufacturing company. On the wall at the front desk, there was a large sign with the company's values. I think it said something about customer focus and team spirit. It is typically four-five words or statements trying to describe the company's core values. This was also the case here. And I could not help thinking that the sign probably was formulated by the management highly influenced by external management consultants. Today, only the sign is left. The values are forgotten. And habits have again taken over.
I am sure, that if you ask a random employee about the company's values, the employee will at best remember the headline, because the values are too abstract and not relevant in the daily work.
Many companies make use of value-based management. With value-based management, you often want to define the values you would like to see employees comply with in their jobs. To ensure that employees are able to identify with the company's mission and create better results. Nevertheless, it often fails. The reason is that in spite of the good intentions, there is at least one great challenge for most companies' approach to set up a common set of values: Habits beat values.
Values are deeply rooted in the company. Some are good and fruitful, and you want to pursue these. Others are bad and demotivating, and those you should try to change. However, the most important understanding is that values are as habits - both the good and the bad ones.
This is why I argue, that if you want to change some values in your business, you need to change the employees' habits; how they - often subconsciously - act and react.
Start with your own values. As a leader, it is about showing the direction by living out the values that employees must comply with. Walk-the-talk, as you say. If the management is talking about values, but not comply with them, they lose credibility.
Worship the heroes. The company's heroes influence the rest of the employees. You can worship the heroes by rewarding and promoting employees who lead and live the true and good habits. In this way, the values become measurable and gradually natural habits in their daily work.
Tell stories. Tell stories about employees who have demonstrated the commitment, which the company appreciates. Again and again and again. We all remember the good stories and we all want to be part of them.
Then, let the interpretation of the values transform into the company. Most importantly, be realistic, take action and take the lead
Need I mention that Columbus does not have a value sign at the front desk, but we constantly work with practicing the good habits.

Ask someone at the game store to recommend games you might like. It is hard to keep up with the new releases even if you can tell them what games you already enjoy.The employee at the store should know a lot about what games to buy.
Spend time with your children by playing video game that you both enjoy. Children usually love to learn as much as they can from video games and can actually learn a few things from these games.
Try the library to try them out. Your local library should have video games that you can rent for free. Call ahead to see what games they have available.
If you want to do the best for your kids, you need to spend some time playing the game yourself. Playing the games with your child is a lot of great way to understand what the games are all about. Ask questions and be interested in what they are interested. Hands-on experience is always the most useful.
Consider having your children a gaming console rather than letting them play on consoles and not computers. Consoles give you better control over content and security, as well as security and content settings that are easily bypassed on a computer. You can control the games much more on a console dedicated to gaming.
Don't just toss away your old video games that are dated or aging. You can trade in for store credit or cash. You can use the cash from a trade-in of your older video game and put it towards getting one that's newer.
Make sure you watch out for your children are safe when it comes to online games. Keep an eye on who exactly they're playing with. Some predators use online games to approach children and often pretend to be a child. Protect your children by preventing them to play online with strangers online.

Where we have allocated a 100% medical Insurance per each child. With the increase in Hospital charges, we have decided to increase our emergency medical fund, as per the board meeting.Because of some of your generosity, some of our kids, have a secure future and are being educated in one of the top private boarding school of Kavre region.Almost all of our kids are in school and in the future, once they complete their primary education, with your support, we plan on providing further college education to them, including vocational training for those who want to pursue other careers, like –Chef training, beautician training, teacher training,healthcare providers,e.t.c. Our dream is to see them grow into independent individuals, who are able to shine in the society.
Sponsoring a student is a serious undertaking, requiring support from the donor over several years. Mission Himalaya makes commitments to help students throughout their school up till graduation, and we cannot withdraw that commitment before a student has succeeded; we expect our donors to approach student sponsorship with a similar level of resolve.
|**Indicative costs to sponsor a student's primary school level education is:
|$1000 per year for sending them to a private boarding school in Kavre district
|**To sponsor a child's high school and college (Undergrad 4 years) level requires:
|$1500 per year for tuition
** The tuition fee for schools are subject to changes, based on individual school's policy and we have no influence on that.

I was a high fashion teen model in the 1980's. I worked for Elite in Kansas City, Chicago and Tokyo. My manager in Chicago was the same one who discovered Cindy Crawford. By the time I started working for Elite Chicago, Cindy had gone to NY and other bigger cities to become a giant supermodel.
I can't remember how I got into modeling. When I was 15 years old, my friends told me that I should be a model so I entered a Teen Magazine modeling competition. I placed in the top 10. From there my mother assisted me in most aspects of my modeling career and would set up appointments on the phone for me. I worked for Halls, The Peruvian Connection and would occasionally appear in the Kansas City Star. Modeling in Kansas City was a low-key operation and I made a load of money on a very sporadic basis. I remember making $500 for a shoot that lasted 3 hours. This was a lot of money for a teenager.
Towards the end of my senior year in high school I learned that Elite Chicago was scouting for models in KC. I thought I should give it a shot. It worked. I was hired immediately and arrangements were made for me to live in Chicago and work for Elite. I was 17 years old.
Once I arrived in Chicago I was told by my manager that I was not skinny enough. I was also told that my ankles were too thick. I was horrified. I played sports in high school and had a really toned body and it never occurred to me that I was not skinny. Actually I never thought about my body at all. I was very active, healthy and lean.
Then my reality began to shift. It was being defined by those around me at the agency. They all thought I was overweight so I started to believe them. Most of the models I worked with looked anorexic. When compared to them, I did look bigger. I was healthy and they were near death with zero body fat anywhere. But I couldn't see this. I was a perfectionist and wanted to be the absolute best at everything, including modeling.
I had invested a lot of time and energy into this move to Chicago. It was quite terrifying to hear my manager talk about how I needed to lose some weight because I realized that if I didn't lose it, I would be sent home and face a barrage of judgement from people back home, "Leah was too fat and couldn't do it. What a loser!"
I wish I had had the strength to just say, "Fuck you" to my manager and pack up my stuff and return to KC. But I need to give myself a break. I was a child. I wasn't even 18 years old. The lure of fame, money and status was too great. I decided to stay. I decided to begin starving myself.
I had begun experimenting with starving myself and throwing up meals around the same time I started modeling. It seemed the most logical thing to do since my weight was seen as a problem by my manager in Chicago. At the time I was 5'10 and weighed around 128 pounds.
I failed at anorexia most of the time. I could go for a few days without eating but would then be really hungry and would eat too much. Then I would throw up most of the excess food. I remember becoming absolutely fixated on achieving a skeletal body. I would pore over magazines, in search of absurdly skinny role models. I found plenty of role models to fuel my eating disorder. I began to feel really proud when I went days without eating. I would watch regular people and pass judgment on them. I thought they were lame and lacked self-control.
At this point you're probably thinking, "Well, your eating disorder sucked, but what about the parties? What about your love life? What about the money? What about the feeling of getting famous?" My answer: I was 17. I didn't drink. I didn't really like socializing. I was shy. I didn't have boyfriends. I didn't get out of control. I spent most of my time in my apartment alone when I wasn't working.
One day there was a casting call to work in Tokyo, Japan. I got it. My contract with Elite Tokyo guaranteed that I would make $20,000 in three months no matter what. That meant that even if I didn't get chosen for modeling gigs while I was there, they would pay me anyway! Only a fool would say no.
On my first night in Tokyo, I received a call from my agent, Mimi. She said she was taking me out to eat at a restaurant. When I got to the restaurant I was shocked to find a whole table full of models and businessmen. Mimi hadn't mentioned that there were going to be men there. I thought I was hired to be a model, not a prostitute. I felt a sick, twisted feeling in my stomach when I arrived at the restaurant.
I was placed next to an Australian businessman named Alan Bond. He told me he was Mr. Bond, the richest man in Australia and at the time, he was. I found him to be disgustingly pathetic, pompous, unattractive and old. He really loved talking about himself and tried very hard to impress me with tales of his obscene wealth. I was unimpressed. But I was also aware of the power dynamics. Mr. Bond owned me that evening. He had paid Mimi. Just how much, I never knew, but I had signed my life away in that contract. I had to do whatever Mimi said or else she'd send me back home to the States.
After talking with Mr. Bond for fifteen minutes, I could tell he wanted to fuck me. I immediately began plotting how to get away from this man who, in his words, "owned all of Australia." After scanning the table for other models who were rebellious like me, I motioned to one and she came over to me. I suggested that we go to the dance floor for a bit. I expressed how freaked out I was that we had essentially been set up to be unpaid prostitutes for these bloated Australian tycoons. She was disgusted too, so we filled up on French chocolate tears, fruit and tea, then I told Mimi that we had to leave to meet some friends at a bar. I never found out if any of the models ended up having sex with Mr. Bond but I think one got really friendly with him. It was a disgusting experience.
This story will be continued. In the next part, look forward to reading about how I frequently would cut myself and get obsessed with male models who didn't like me. Also learn about my naïveté with regards to not understanding what, "Do you want to go home with me?" meant. I remained a virgin the entire time I was a model.

So you have in the bank a certain amount of funds and have an interest in commencing to invest in futures. You have heard that exist higher dividends by shelling out – that's true – but the truth is are certainly not convinced where to begin. In this posting we will talk about a technique of where do you start and after that the way to still spend and improve money.
Firstly, before starting to pay it is essential to have your finances so as. This means that you should:
1) Employ a banking account with plenty of money to protect 3-six months worth of expenditures. These funds are just to be used for emergencies this sort of as if you reduce your work, your automobile fights, the oxygen conditioner pauses, you suffer a severe sickness, etc… (Taking vacation or buying some plaything that you like is just not an urgent situation.) This consideration is essential simply because it makes sure that you have the money you requirement for the several misfortunes that take place. Rather then starting financial debt if your auto stops working you've got the funds palm. Each time feel free to use money with this accounts it's essential to replace it as quickly as possible.
2) Settle all plastic cards. Plastic cards ask for 15-30% interest if not more. However excellent a trader you happen to be it can be not going that you be more responsible than 15Percent in excess of long periods of time, so settling the loan cards is a far greater expense.
3) Provide for you retirement records including an IRA or 401K prepare. Retirement living is going to require a lot of cash, but time is in your corner if you are fresh. Remember to be placing 10-15% of your respective profits at a distance within your retirement resources regularly. Be aware that one could (and must) commit these balances in futures – mostly mutual cash and Eft's (Exchange traded funds) – while you're small, gradually renovating about 50 % of on the profile to hard cash and fixed-salary securities when you approach retirement age, so these balances are part of your inventory trading as well.
After you have your financial home so as, you are ready to begin with investment investing.
The vital thing you have to come to a decision will be your threat ceiling. If you are ready to go through activities of fiftyPercent if not more around in just a thirty days or a smaller amount with person assets, you might be best suited to invest in particular person stocks and options. Remember that the way of thinking at this point is that you can find a couple of futures that slip and don't determine, but you'll purchase a number of winners that can make up with the losers (assume Master of science or Supermarkets). Because the those who win will a lot meet or exceed the losers, you might end up far forward – it will you should be a bumpy experience.
Critical stock investment does not involve lots of stock trading. While it is pleasurable to imagine the next moves in the industry and shift in and out of jobs, if you'd like to make real money it is best to select futures that have prospective buyers for continuous progress more than a long period of time and buying these securities and hold them. Really, after you have designed you buy it's generally adequate to simply look at them once in a while, possibly each couple of months or so or each and every affirmation, and skim on the yearly document when it reaches.
As you are committing for that prolonged-period you ought to only market if 1)the corporation adjustments their company so that they don't possess the prolonged-phrase regular expansion behaviour you desire or 2)the task is becoming so massive who's gets to be way too high-risk and it is advisable to market some shares and disseminate the capital a tad. Remember that although the share selling price has declines is very little purpose selling. In some cases good organizations get dragged all the way down because of correction while in the total sector and the firm's sector.
When you have Usd1500 to Usd2000 you'll be able to by explains to you of merely one person investment. You would like a standard which has got income expanding routinely for a number of years and retains home to grow, to ensure that income may as well increase. This is also typically resembled inside amount, which will have a extensive, stable, gradual in place downward slope. A good source of data when scouting for stocks and shares will be the Price Series Expense Survey (most your local library carry this). Additionally, there are a few websites that collection earnings dating back to a year, but the volume of internet sites providing out an extended cash flow background free of charge is extremely small. The broker households also provide numerous quantities of information. The whole assistance brokerage service like Merrill Lynch or UBS may have a lot more information in comparison to the discount stockbrokers (normally), but significant account scales are usually necessary, this alternative most likely are not readily available for starting point buyers.
If you fail to deal with like variances gone through by owning individual shares you're able to do just great purchasing Eft's (Exchange traded funds) and listing common capital. These each individual purchase a lot of stocks hence the activities of your one particular investment are nicely balanced through the other people. Therefore really bad season they will head to 30Pct, but more often than not movements are going to be amongst 5 and 20Percentage up or down annually, and over time there will be extra up decades than straight down. The lengthy-name ordinary come back around the stock marketplaces may be concerning 10 and 15Pct, which includes considerably exceeded includes, personal savings accounts, along with purchases.
With Bucks1000-Money2000 start investing in ETFs or good resources. ETFs business around the stock markets and are also purchased through a brokerage service. Online brokers such as ETrade are options right here. Mutual settlement is marketed in the numerous finance providers which should be contacted directly. Vanguard is usually a leader in listing capital, but a majority of other deposit organizations also offer their own personal listing resources. Due to the fact directory cash have been shown to outwit the majority of managed finances on the long time (because the service fees less difficult cheaper), listing funds are most of the very best investment decision.
No matter whether obtaining listing funds or ETFs, the 1st expenditure need to be with a major purchase classes. Excellent alternatives would have been a compact cover or simply a mid limit finance or ETF (development, benefit, or put together). The Russell 2000 is a very common tiny-limitation directory. Substantial truck caps could also be purchased, such as an Azines&Delaware 500 or Dow jones Jackson Industrials monitoring pay for or Exchange traded fund. These are generally indexes that may contain significant, more successful firms, meaning there talk about charges may be more constant, however their full give back will almost certainly delay those of your little friend and middle of caps (since they have already harvested so substantial if you don't bedroom remaining for additional progress).

With its beautiful beaches, mountains and infectious energy, Rio is the toast of the world. There are many awesome things to do in Rio, including some not-so-common ones which we put together. But many travelers are concerned how to stay safe while traveling to the Cidade Maravilhoso.
It is true that despite a drop in crime rates in the city, staying safe continues to be a common problem.
I spent a few months living in Brazil and many others traveling through South America. With advise from locals on how to stay safe I managed to enjoy my time without any unpleasant incident. Here are tips from my experience that should, hopefully, help you too.
Hide your cameras.
Yes you read that right! Most Asians click pictures like they were getting paid for it. But in Rio or other South American cities – showing off your big camera can be considered downright stupid. If you pay attention you will see that Brazilians do not carry around their DSLRs and there is a good reason for it. It makes you susceptible to a mugging attempt. Kids skimming the streets for valuables will immediately notice you.
Streets of Rio are filled with stories of kids snatching cameras and running away. And trust me when I say that you probably won't be able to keep up with them unless you are an Olympian.
Forget being flashy.
Yes, it's a vacation and you might want to use your best clothes and accessories. But if you want to stay safe, then skip the flashy stuff.
I own only one gold ring, and I had kept it safe in my backpack throughout my entire trip in Latin America. And most of my local friends, agreed that it was a smart thing to do.
Know your plan.
Well, Facebook would have ingrained in you by now that 'travel is about getting lost'. May be, that's true. But there are rules while you are in South America.
It is good to know where you are going and whether it is safe. So if you are making a day plan in Rio, ask your hostel/hotel staff for advise regarding places you plan to visit.
Don't go to the favelas!
If you want to visit a favela(poor areas in Rio and other Brazilian cities), it is better to do so with a well established tour group. Many of Rio's favelas are still controlled by the drug mafia. So you don't want to become a news item which states 'a tourist walked into a favela and got kidnapped by the bad guys'.
However, there are a few favelas which are safe for tourists to visit. A couple of them are Vidigal(where the trail to Dos Irmaos starts) and Rocinha(said to be the largest favela in Latin America). But still do ask around about the situation when you visit. And don't go to a favela unless you are absolutely sure about your safety.
Never walk alone:
In a way this is the extension of knowing where you are going and what you are doing. Though it is never a foolproof safety method, it is better to be with someone than alone in Rio.
I made the mistake of walking alone late at night once and almost paid for it.
Coming back after a party, I decided to walk a couple of kilometers to my host's house. I soon realized that I was being followed. Instinctively I knew that I was about to be mugged. I started running towards the neighbourhood restaurant which was still open. That is how I managed to save myself.
But it is a mistake that I never repeated throughout my trip.
Sounds too good to be true? Then may be it isn't that safe.
This rule holds good for most parts of the world. It could be anything, a pretty girl making a pass on you though you know that you don't look like Tom Cruise (or anywhere close to him). Or someone makes an offer that is just too good to be refused.
Let your objective self take over and evaluate the situation before you commit to anything. May be asking for help or getting a local involved might help.
And the last thing, don't be too white!!!
There are 500% more chances that you will be mugged if you are a white person with blue eyes. There is absolutely no research that backs this data, and I am only bullshitting.
But on a serious note, it is true that light skinned tourists are more susceptible to petty crime. Most people in the world equate white with rich, and Brazilians are no different.
You may be a penniless backpacker. But if you are white, then you have to take more precautions than your super rich brown friend has to. It sucks, but that's the way it is.
Travel is one of the best ways to learn to deal with uncertainty and also appreciate the diversity of this planet. And though I would be the last person to ask you to pay heed to stereotypes, but caution can sometimes save a lot of heartburn.
So save these tips or share them with friends who are traveling. Because ignorance is not always bliss!

The latest release of Savant Systems' home automation software supports the increasingly popular Philips Hue RGB smart bulbs.
The communications protocol for Philips Hue has been profiled and is now native to the Savant platform – no third party drivers or accessories required.
Savant executive VP Jim Carroll tells CE Pro that Savant created the profile at the request of "our expanding retail channel of Apple Authorized Resellers."
While they can't get their hands on the bulbs for resale (Apple is the exclusive authorized retailer), dealers recognize that "Hue is a hot item," says Carroll, and they want to support their own customers with technologies they desire.

Schools win with Reef health initiatives
Published: 02/02/2017
Twenty schools along the Queensland coast are being recognised for their focus on protecting the Great Barrier Reef in 2017.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) last week announced the Reef Guardian Schools Ripples of Change grant winners.
Each school receives $500 funding toward their efforts to combat challenges to the marine environment. Projects include revegetating local waterways, reducing energy use, improving recycling and cleaning up beaches.
GBRMPA Chairman Russell Reichelt said the awards encourage students to learn about and care for their local environment and promote real change in their communities.
"Students are the future custodians of the Great Barrier Reef, it's fantastic to see this level of dedication toward protecting local environments, their actions will greatly contribute to reducing threats faced by the Reef,"
"The Reef Guardian Schools program plays a significant role in empowering students, providing opportunities for them to lead the community in environmental management, I am proud to support their efforts."
Grant winners are located in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area from Hervey Bay to Cairns.
Winners were chosen based on their project's ability to address one of the five key threats to the Reef – climate change, declining water quality, coastal development, impacts of fishing and marine debris.
Actions of school projects will also contribute to the Reef 2050 Plan – the Australian and Queensland governments' 35 year plan for protecting the Reef.
All schools participating in GBRMPA's Reef Guardian Schools program were encouraged to apply for the funding grants.
The grants, aimed at assisting small-scale stewardship projects at a school level, encourage Reef stewardship, citizen science projects and promote local partners and stakeholder collaboration.
Now in its fifteenth year, GBRMPA's Reef Guardian Schools initiative has more than 270 schools, 7400 teachers and 120,000 students involved in building the Reef's resilience.

Until the state and federal laws have been changed to accommodate same-sex unions, same-sex couples will remain in limbo when issues such as divorce or the death of one spouse arise. A federal judge recently overturned a previous ruling that denied a California widower of a gay couple surviving spouse benefits. The fact that his partner died before their same-sex marriage reached the nine months required for receiving such benefits was the reason for the denial.
According to the claim, the couple's domestic partnership registration took place in 2005, two years after they met. They got married soon after the ban of Proposition 8 in 2013. The one partner died unexpectedly early in 2014, and the surviving spouse pursued a claim for surviving spouse benefits. However, the nine-month requirement that serves to avoid marriages that take place at the deathbed only to obtain survivor benefits was not met.
In January, the federal judge ruled that the eight years of their domestic partnership should be added to the months that they were married, making the widower eligible for surviving spouse benefits. He said that domestic partnerships in California are regarded the same as marriages for all legal purposes. Their years together in a registered domestic partnership, and the subsequent marriage, made it clear that the brief marriage could not be seen as a deathbed commitment purely to obtain benefits.
California couples who are living together may want to gain information on the legal consequences if they fail to legalize their partnership in some way. They may benefit from considering a domestic partnership or same-sex marriage to protect the rights of each partner. Such couples may find comfort in knowing that there are experienced attorneys who focus on same-sex family law and are experienced about the same-sex laws in our state and other jurisdictions.

The flip side of the ride back from Boston
Somewhere along the road back from Boston, DSN publisher Wayne Bennett and I looked at each other and realized that the previous 24 hours or so had been some of the most productive time we had enjoyed at a trade show in quite a while. To be honest, that's not exactly what we had expected when we headed to the National Association of Chain Drug Stores' Pharmacy and Technology Conference a day earlier. Hurricane Irene — which had already dampened our travel plans — also had dampened our expectations.
Wayne's house in Long Island is less than a half-mile away from one of the evacuation zones. For me, the flip side of being one of the few people in Manhattan with his own backyard is that I live on the ground floor, so I also am one of the few people in Manhattan in danger of floodwaters rising into my living room.
But once Irene blew by us, we decided to make the short drive to Boston to catch the last couple days of the show. And I'm glad that we did. We got a lot accomplished.
Now, I'm not going to pretend that the show broke new attendance records any more than I would write that the Convention Fairy visited every booth each night and left little magical sacks full of cash for everybody. Some people didn't make it to Boston because of the weather; it's not a three-hour drive for everybody. A small number of booths were empty.
But that wasn't the vibe at the show. And that's really amazing because I will tell you as a cynical journalist who has been to a lot of trade shows that even when the weather is great and everybody shows up, the squeaky wheels ALWAYS find a reason to complain about something. But this time the focus was on who WAS there versus who WASN'T there.
Maybe it's because the flip side of having a couple of cancellations on your schedule is that it gives you an opportunity to take the conversations you are able to have a little deeper than you normally could in the span of the typical 30-minute trade show meeting. Some of the things you normally might have to wait for in the show's follow-up you're able to address right there on the show floor. That can change the way you measure the return on investment of attending a conference.
Taken individually, things like the decision to add shuttle buses to and from the convention hotels and going casual for the closing reception is really little stuff. But on the flip side, the mindset that drives those decisions — the mission to keep the focus on its members, to keep the focus on the people that came to the show and making sure that those people had the best experience possible — that's essentially what NACDS did right here.
You can't focus on the people who AREN'T there. If you do, all you'll see is the negative space they leave behind, and you'll probably get nothing accomplished. On the flip side, if you can focus on the people in front of you, you can have a pretty productive meeting. Wayne and I did.

Perrigo works to educate on kids' dosing changes
ALLEGAN, Mich. — Perrigo this summer developed a healthcare professional outreach strategy, educating pediatricians, for example, around the company's new infants' and children's acetaminophen dosing and packaging changes. It's the kind of outreach that's more often associated with an OTC manufacturer supporting a branded product, not the store-brand medicines that Perrigo produces.
At the beginning of August, Perrigo kicked off its mailing/emailing campaign around the changes in OTC pediatric acetaminophen products with broad distribution (55,000 of the 65,000 registered pediatricians, for example) and directed them to a dedicated website: InfantDose.com.
"[The] very-clear findings in our research [found that physicians] don't fully understand the quality value options by way of store-brand products, … but they're very eager to learn," Ron Schutt, Perrigo VP global marketing, told Drug Store News. "Affordability is becoming more and more part of the dialog between patients and physicians," he added, noting that the term "physicians" includes nurse educators, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
This is an entirely new effort for Perrigo, Schutt said, but one that is expected to become a key point-of-differentiation as more complex prescriptions begin making their way over to the OTC space in the coming years.

Flip the switch
As the clock winds down on the patent exclusivity of the industry's biggest blockbuster drug in November, speculation continues to grow that Pfizer will look to flip the switch on an OTC version of Lipitor (atorvastatin) before generic competition whittles away at the $7 billion behemoth.
And while there is a long and unsuccessful history of pharma companies trying to switch statin drugs from Rx to OTC status, it appears that things could be different this time for Lipitor. For one thing, recent OTC switches like Alli and Plan B may have helped create an atmosphere that would be more permissive of a Lipitor switch by leveraging the expertise of the pharmacist to help mitigate patient safety fears.
For another, under ObamaCare, the country becomes a much larger healthcare payer in 2014. OTC Lipitor could lower the cost of therapy from $4 to $5 per pill to a fraction of that — even cheaper than a generic version when you factor out the cost of the doctor visit that would be saved. The federal government stands to save a lot of money here if the Food and Drug Administration could change the way it thinks about an OTC statin. But ObamaCare also creates new tax burdens for branded drug makers like Pfizer, creating yet another compelling reason for the company to find new revenue streams for its biggest drug.
Even still, it won't just be all about money. Regardless of how much Pfizer can make or payers can save, if a Lipitor switch were to be successful, it would have to clear the same consumer-usage hurdles that prior applicants failed to clear — that is, the ability to prove safe and appropriate self-selection by consumers.
When Merck and GlaxoSmithKline last pitched an OTC switch of Mevacor (lovastatin) in 2007, the companies submitted the best consumer usage studies to date. Based on consumers' knowledge of their LDL levels, 98% of subjects appropriately chose not to take the medicine — however, only 16% of those who chose to take the medicine did so appropriately. That marked the fourth time a statin switch had been rejected by the FDA: three times for Mevacor and one failed attempt by Bristol-Myers Squibb's Pravachol in 2000.
But an improved usage study no longer may be the lone cost of entry for an OTC statin. With more states expanding pharmacists' immunizing authority beyond just flu shots, the role of the pharmacist has evolved significantly in recent years — a trend that promises to continue, particularly as community pharmacy finds its natural place in medication therapy management. And as many pharmacies already offer cholesterol screenings, many believe there is a role here for the pharmacist to play in patient assessment.
"From pharmacy's perspective, not only are there immunization regulations in all states, most states also have collaborative care agreements," Randy Juhl, vice chancellor for research conduct and compliance for the University of Pittsburgh and one-time chairman of the FDA Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee, told Drug Store News. "The possibility that pharmacists are involved in cholesterol management already exists. The mechanisms are there."
In addition, there are those that believe that some of the more complex switches of the past decade may have served as critical building blocks for future switches once thought improbable, including statin drugs.
In the 1990s, OTC nicotine-replacement therapies helped establish precedents for limited channel distribution, restricting sales by age and mandating educational materials. The emergency contraceptive Plan B and weight-loss aid Alli took the idea of channel distribution further by creating a behind-the-counter OTC classification, without necessarily creating an actual, codified third class of drugs.
At press time, Pfizer executives still would not confirm that the company is considering a switch for Lipitor, though several reports said the company has assembled a team of experts to explore future options for Lipitor, including assessing the feasibility of a switch. Logic dictates Pfizer will try. It is projected that OTC Lipitor could be the first $1 billion OTC brand.
A statin switch also would redefine what quantifies as a sales success in the OTC arena. "Cholesterol is chronic," noted Steve Francesco, CEO of Francesco International. "If you look at that in terms of tablet consumption, you're taking Lipitor 365 days of the year. How often do you take an allergy pill?" he asked. "Tablet consumption will be huge compared to your everyday OTC product."
Francesco and others believe that a successful statin switch would open the doors of the self-care market to a plethora of new disease states, including hypertension, mild asthma, osteoporosis, arthritis, migraine or incontinence. According to Francesco, there are numerous chronic and recurrent therapy drugs that will seek to switch over the next five years that have great potential if drug makers can prove that the drugs are safe in an OTC setting. Such new technologies as electronic prescription cards that allow patients to be monitored without direct physician supervision and new mobile phone applications will help pave the way for a series of new Rx-to-OTC switches that once were unlikely; something Francesco called "OTC-Es" — that's "e" as in "enabled."
There is little doubt that this is the future of health care in America — a consumer-directed model with patients taking more responsibility for managing costs, more self-care options to treat a wider range of conditions and an expanded role for the pharmacist. And there is little doubt that in that kind of a future, OTC Lipitor would do quite well. The question is: Can Pfizer get there in time to save Lipitor from the patent cliff? Will it try?
This much is certain, if Pfizer successfully can flip the switch on an OTC version of Lipitor, it will forever flip the script on the Rx-to-OTC switch model.
As long as US law permits any and all OTC's to be sold in any retail outlet, you will have the 16% of those who chose to take the medicine did so appropriately, which means there is a 84% failure rate. With such poor results it is no wonder that authorities may not allow the RX-OTC switch. I suggest that the regulatory authorities look to Canada with its 3 classes of OTC medications. Class 1 is pharmacist only sale of products that are kept behing the counter. Class 2 is drugstore only sale and the product must be kept for self selection in an area close to the pharmacy/dispensing area. Class 3 are products that can be sold anywhere. Class 1 and 2 protect the public since class 1 products must have pharmacist approval for the sale (Lipitor OTC would be a good example) and, class 2 would provide ready access to a pharmacist if the customer has a question. An actual, codified third class of drugs would solve the problem for manufacturers and regulators.

There are various reasons why we would want to accessibility someone's cell phone records. Probably because we want to find out who they actually are calling, or maybe because of good that a husband or wife is shady. Either way, unless you are the proprietor the cell phone, you cannot find any real way of accessing their particular information. Although, there is an option, and here is what it is.
Put your hearing to the ground: Before you can flourish in this game, you must obtain the latest information at the correct time. What makes the market heavy is the array of information which can be found for traders and it is one of the most powerful weapons for effective trading. Before any significant success can be made in the marketplace, information gathering is essential.
One of the first handsets was obviously a Samsung phone known as Samsung Rugby. This phone had been simple and it was among the first phones that presented the ability to work with a touch sensitive screen. This caught the consideration of several and now the company announced in order to launch a whole new design from the series labeled Samsung Rugby Smart.
Both most popular phones at present would be the Droid, which can be obtained by means of Verizon Wireless, and the Nexus One, which is a revealed smartphone that can be used on both the particular T-Mobile and the AT&T systems.
Though these phones are the most widely used, we will not only focus on simply these two, but we will talk about the typical features of an how to hack into a phone. Since technology is quick changing, it will not do all of us much good to focus on particular phone models when critiquing the accessibility of the Google android platform. Rather, the phone versions here may be mentioned regularly to provide examples for the claims made in this article (Burton).
The battery pack is a Li-ion 1300 mAh and gives a talk moments of 650 minutes on GSM and a standby time of 590 hours on the GSM. The particular memory is excellent, but if you wish to extend you can do it using the micro Sd card up to 32 GIGABYTE. The music features include the Google android video player, android very good music player and also includes the several. 5 mm headphone. Consumer can also use the stereo Radio and listen to hundreds of tracks daily. The organizers are the calculator, multiple alarms, diary and much more.
Some aspects of HTC Sense 4. 0 are certainly not just like the Ice Lotion Meal OS. The worst fine-tune may be the keyboard it's buggy, plus generally not pleasant to utilize. With SwiftKey By, yet another alternative keyboard, the phone turns into a lot more usable. The journal app is an additional illustration. There's absolutely no weekly watch, and also the monthly view shows you no information whatsoever. If this isn't broke, don't do the repair. That said, this is probably the most useful incarnation associated with HTC Feeling. Good luck!

'Climate change to adversely impact Pak'
Pakistan is responsible for only a small fraction of global warming but is among the countries that will be hit hardest by the effects of climate change, RK Pachauri of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change says.world Updated: Jan 14, 2009 20:40 IST
Pakistan is responsible for only a small fraction of global warming but is among the countries that will be hit hardest by the effects of climate change, RK Pachauri of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change says.
Speaking at a regional conference here on "Climate change: Challenges and opportunities for South Asia" here, Pachauri said Pakistan was witnessing severe pressures on its natural resources and environment.
"Climatic changes are likely to exacerbate this trend. Water supply, already a serious concern in many parts of the country, will decline dramatically, affecting food production. Export industries such as fisheries will also be affected, while coastal areas risk being inundated, flooding the homes of millions of people living in low-lying areas," Dawn Wednesday quoted him as saying.
"The fact is that global warming was unequivocal and there is no scope for scientific questioning. Pakistan faces potential environmental catastrophe," Pachauri maintained.
Although Pakistan produces minimal chlorofluorocarbons and emits little sulphur dioxide, thus making a negligible contribution to ozone depletion and acid rain, it will suffer disproportionately from climate change and other global environmental problems, he maintained.
The effects are already being felt.
Pakistan contributes just one-35th of the world's of carbon dioxide emissions but temperatures in the country's coastal areas have risen since the early 1900s by 0.6 to 1 degree Celsius.
Precipitation has decreased 10 to 15 percent in the coastal belt and hyper-arid plains over the last 40 years, while summer and winter rains have increased in northern Pakistan.
This apart, droughts in 1999 and 2000 have caused sharp declines in water tables and dried up wetlands, severely degrading ecosystems.
Pachauri explained in detail the impact of such changes on Pakistan and on the lives of its people.
He said the health of millions would be affected with diarrhoeal diseases associated with floods and drought becoming more prevalent.
Intensifying rural poverty is likely to increase internal migration as well as migration to other countries. Given the enormity of the impact, adaptation and mitigation measures are critically important, Pachauri maintained.
"Although most societies have a long history of adapting to the impacts of weather and climate, climate change as we are experiencing it today poses new risks that will require new investments in adaptive responses," he warned.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who attended Tuesday's session of the two-day conference as the chief guest, "appeared disturbed by the fact that environmental degradation would cost five percent of the GDP every year", Dawn said.
"Climate change is an economic and developmental problem as well as environmental. The government will make concerted efforts to achieve desired outcome to mitigate climate change," the newspaper quoted Galani as saying at the conference.

Dr. Claire was thrilled to move back to Colorado in 2013 and serve the communities she grew up around.
As a general dentist, Dr. Claire has treated sleep apnea patients with Oral Appliance Therapy since 2009. She recently completed the highest advanced training available in dental sleep medicine at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and will be applying for board certification through the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine in the Spring of 2018.
Dr. Claire is constantly striving for patients to have a positive experience and to facilitate successful treatment and understanding of their needs.
Dr. "Sam" Callender is a Sleep Apnea dentist in Arvada. He received his board certification in Dental Sleep Medicine by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine in 2007. He has over 35 years of experience in orthodontics and dental sleep medicine and for the last 16 years has limited his practice to the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea with the use of custom oral appliances. Dr. Sam achieved his dental and orthodontic degrees from the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
Dr. Sam is a firm believer in continuing education and is an active member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the Colorado Sleep Society, The American Association of Orthodontists, The Colorado Dental Association and the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain.
Although Dr. Sam is no longer accepting new patients, he will continue to provide his knowledge and expertise and will assist Dr. Bender with patient care. Dr. Sam has moderate obstructive sleep apnea and can empathize with the desire to not wear a CPAP. He is continually trying new appliances on himself to see which ones are the most comfortable and effective so he can give an informed recommendation to his patients.

How was your weekend? Halloween was at the weekend and I have to say, I had an absolute ball. If you checked my Instagram out, then you will know that I dressed up as a scary ass nun! Seriously, all of my friends were scared shitless ha-ha. I'm not one for skimpy outfits, I'm not slagging off anyone who wears them but they're not my cup of tea, I would rather be scary. As you can imagine, I didn't want to move on Sunday so I chilled out with Liam just watching movies and stuffing my face with all kind of bad treats. It was worth it though!
I was contacted by Scot Bloggers to write a post for them, obviously I was gonna talk beauty so i decided to discuss the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. As you know, I bought this in a recent haul and I know a few of my readers really wanted a review so I thought I would write it up and post it over on their blog which you can find here.
I know this is a pricey purchase but as I got my student loan, I thought I would pick up a few bits that I wouldn't normally buy but now that I have tried this, I'm afraid I will have to start saving each month to buy another when it runs out as it's beautiful. I won't ruin my review any further so head over to Scot Bloggers to find out what I had to say.

Justin Bieber & BloodPop Announce 'Friends' Collaboration
Justin Bieber might be on a self-imposed break, but that doesn't mean the pop superstar won't be releasing new music. In fact, he's about to drop "Friends," a new collaboration with producer BloodPop.
Ahead of the song's release on Thursday (Aug. 17) at noon, Biebs unveiled the cover art, which features two birds eating a worm. Prior to dropping the artwork, he tweeted: "Can we still be friends," which appears to be a reference to the track.
Bieber and BloodPop have proven to be a powerful musical combo. The two collaborated on 2015's Purpose including "Mark My Words," "I'll Show You," "Children," and "Sorry."
Most recently, BloodPop teamed up with Lady Gaga on Joanne tracks like "Come to Mama," "Angel Down," "Sinner's Prayer," "Million Reasons," and "Perfect Illusion."
Meanwhile, Bieber has reportedly been taking it easy after canceling his "Purpose Stadium Tour" last month. At the time, he said it was due to exhaustion, and reports claimed that it might have been related to his rededication to religion.

After searching around this forum for a while I couldnt find the answers I was looking for so Im sorry if this has been asked a million times before.
Ive been composing music for a long time, but now I want to be able to practice my skills composing to picture. Where do I find videos with basic audio like voice, etc, but no music? I dont really have any video editing skills to make my own videos or rip them from dvd. Plus I dont really have the time to become a whiz at video editing either.
Surely everyone has used plenty of practice videos. Where do you get them? Did you have to rip/edit the videos yourself? Did you have to edit out all audio except for voice? If possible Id also want the videos to sound complete with voice and sound effects as well. But I dont really want to have to create the sound effects of top of composing because that is already my day time job. (Im an in-house sound designer for games)
I remember a couple of years ago there was a sleepy hollow video floating around these forums that someone made. Searching does not uncover it Im after pretty much any video that allows creativity.

What are the tastiest soups in Charlotte?
A few weeks ago, we surveyed our 31,000 daily Agenda newsletter subscribers and asked them about their favorite soup in town. Thousands and thousands of responses flowed in including, "Sabor queso" and "Jam Session IPA Noda Brewing" and "Roxbury Basement at 1:55 a.m." I like soup jokes. A lot.
Let me also say that we haven't developed into a first-class soup city.
There's a big financial opportunity for a soup restaurant to dominate our city's soup scene. One reader specifically mentioned, "We need a place like Revolutionary Soup in Charlottesville, VA to open in Charlotte."
OK, here's a look at the 15 most beloved soups in Charlotte. The list is in no specific order.
[Note: Against my betterjudgmentt, Futo Buta's ramen was included on this list – even though I think ramen is a noodle dish, not a soup. Additionally, Lupie's chili got a ton of votes, but chili isn't a soup, so it's not on this list.]
Baked French Onion Soup – 300 East
Baked provolone with croutons for $6.50 served inside 300 East's old school Dilworth space.
New England Clam Chowdah – Moosehead Grill
This $5.95 soup is described as "wicked good." Don't be fooled by Moosehead's Montford neighborhood bar vibe, the soup is legit. Lovely big chunks of clam. Wash it down with an order of Moosehead wings.
Broccoli Cheddar – Panera Bread
This was the #1 most loved soup in Charlotte (by a large margin). Inside this 365-calorie soup is chopped broccoli, shredded carrots and select seasonings simmered in a velvety smooth cheese sauce.
Lobster Bisque – BrickTop's
This $12 soup with fresh Maine lobster, cream and brandy is a huge hit in SouthPark. The lobster comes in alive to the restaurant every morning — that's how fresh it is.
Chicken Tortilla – Cantina 1511
Traditional soup of pulled chicken in a fresh vegetable broth, topped with Mexican cheese, tortilla chips and fresh avocado.
She Crab Soup – Eddie's Place
Eddie's Place may be known for their breakfast all day, but you'll learn why they do about 150-200 She Crab soups each day after you give it a shot. A bowl is $6.95 and comes with two giant pieces of salted, warm bread.
Red Pepper Gouda – Dean and DeLuca
Charlotte loves this soup. The chunks of red pepper add a great texture to this perfect soup for a cold day.
Curry Laska – CO
What's inside? Shrimp, shredded chicken, bun rice noodles, shredded cucumber, thai basil, baby bok choy, served in a spicy coconut broth for $15.
Spicy Crab Soup – Alexander Michael's
Served in a perfectly cozy historic Fourth Ward home, the Spicy Crab Soup has a perfect mix of crab and spice. A cup runs $3.95 and a bowl $4.95. Grab a booth and if you need a sandwich too – go with their reuben.
Cauliflower Soup – Barrington's
A top 5 restaurant in Charlotte, Barrington's lovers are huge fans of their Cauliflower Soup with shaved black truffle, North Carolina lump crab and mascarpone. It'll run you $11 at this intimate SouthPark restaurant.
Sopa De Pollo – Viva Chicken
What's inside? Pulled rotisserie chicken, homemade chicken broth, cilantro infused rice, green onions, red onions, red peppers and cilantro.
Spinach Asparagus Leek Soup – Amelie's
Amelie's hit soups are their Spinach Asparagus Leek Soup and their Spicy Thai Soup. They also come out with seasonal soups four times a year.
Amelie's has three different soup sizes – cup $3.99 – bowl $5.59 – quart (to-go only) $10.59
Chicken Tortilla Soup – Paco's Tacos
What's inside? Poached chicken, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and chilies. Garnished with avocado, lime and a jalapeño. A cup is only $3, bowls are $5.
Tom Kha – Thai Taste
Tom Kha is their coconut cream soup with mushrooms, green onions, tomatoes, galanga, cilantro and lemon grass.
Another top soup seller is Thai Taste's "Tom Yum" – a slightly sour spicy soup with herbs, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro and mushrooms.
Tonkotsu Ramen – Futo Buta
What's inside this $14 ramen dish? Pork bone broth, pecan smoked pork belly, scallion, organic mushroom, onsen egg, pickled ginger, nori, sesame and black garlic.
Futo Buta offers 8 different ramen bowls. Other popular choices include their Miso Ramen, Fire & Ice Ramen and Chizu Ramen.
Honorable mention to Lang Van's pho, Bedder Bedder More (all soups), Fenwick's tomato soup, Dandelion Market's tomato soup, Pio Pio's chicken soup, Newk's (all soups), Beef N Bottle's French Onion, The Palm's Lobster Bisque, King's Kitchen (all soups), Rooster's tomato bisque and Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup.

I can't believe that we are in the last week of January 2016 already. That means Valentine's Day is right around the corner. You may still have a couple of weeks to plan, but for those of you who want to throw a party or have 30 some Valentine's to put together for your child to take to school, you probably want to get started.
With February just days away, this is the perfect time to think about what Valentine's Day is really about and discuss giving that exemplifies the code of The Law of Giving. The day is most adored by those in relationships as they feel they have something to celebrate. However, Valentine's Day doesn't just have to be for couples because it's also about expressing appreciation and innermost feelings about the people in your life. Regardless of what you think about Valentine's Day, this year try to tailor your V-Day gifts to tell the people around you exactly how you feel. With some creativity you can express your giving feelings to your friends, and with a pinch of romance you'll be giving and receiving love.
Use this time for giving in a way that makes others happy and inspires love, affection, caring, and gratefulness. I'm doing a roundup of Valentine's and gifts that speak your mind and heart. The messages in the following small gifts simply evoke positive feelings and don't have to be saved for Valentine's Day only, but can be given anytime you want to do something nice for someone.
I'm So Fortunate We're Friends Fortune Cookie
A coworker, neighbor, or your best friend will appreciate you and this "small token of your appreciation". In the morning or after lunch, drop off a takeout box with a fortune cookie and a special message that tells how grateful you are for their friendship.

You're a Starburst Valentine
The simplicity of one Starburst sends the message that you are not trying to woo their favor with gifts, but rather making a gesture of kindness that says how wonderful you think they are. On Valentine's Day, just one Starburst for a friend can do the trick with the Free Printable Stars from "i Heart Naptime".
You're A Star! Valentine
If one single Starburst isn't your thing, then give them a bag full with free printable from Designsbycp.com that say "You're A Star! Hope your Valentine's Day is Bursting with Fun and Friendship!" Perfect for an afternoon treat on Valentine's Day.

Your creative output is inspiring. May your brilliance be invested in, and may success by your definition be yours.
Disclaimer Nonsense
Just so it's said, none of this is affiliate linked or sponsored. These are all authors and creators that I know– people who have contributed to the better parts of my life. I linked most to Amazon, if it's linked elsewhere, it is at the author's request.
To ensure the products (non-books) have some meaning to those who visit here, I have asked friends to create a product related to Rarasaur themes. The books, on the other hand, run the gamut of topics. You'll have to explore to find out which ones you'll love forever, but I am sure you will find something. At the very least, you're investing in creative pursuits, and that is always a noble cause.
Also, as always, there's no order to these.

Comics A.M. | Superheroes' big-screen struggle for diversity; Z-Cult FM returns
Movies | National Public Radio commentator John Ridley critiques Hollywood for being even less diverse than the Big Two when it comes to diversity in lead characters, and demolishes their blame-the-audience theory that white people won't go to see a movie with a black lead by pointing to a study by Indiana University professor Andrew Weaver: "Weaver found that white audiences tended to be racially selective with regard to romantic movies, but not necessarily when it came to other genres. So, sorry, Hollywood. You can't blame it on the ticket buyers." [NPR]

Creators | Becky Cloonan talks about the joys and the hardships of being a full-time comics creator: "Comics are hard work. Comics are relentless. Comics will break your heart. Comics are monetarily unsatisfying. Comics don't offer much in terms of fortune and glory, but comics will give you complete freedom to tell the stories you want to tell, in ways unlike any other medium. Comics will pick you up after it knocks you down. Comics will dust you off and tell you it loves you. And you will look into its eyes and know it's true, that you love comics back."
