[Extract] Systemic bacterial infection, resulting in bacterial sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, is the primary cause of equine neonatal morbidity and mortality (Cohen, 1994; Hollis et al., 2008). Ceftiofur sodium (CS), a third-generation cephalosporin antimicrobial, has in vitro efficacy against many bacterial organisms cultured from septicemic equine neonates (Jaglan et al., 1994; Marsh & Palmer, 2001; Sanchez et al., 2008; Meyer et al., 2009).
Ceftiofur sodium is a time-dependent, bactericidal, β-lactam antimicrobial (Owens & Ambrose, 2007). To optimize the likelihood of efficacy, dosing regimens are designed to maximize the duration concentrations of antimicrobial at the site of infection are greater than the MIC of the pathogen (Turnidge, 1998). For gram-positive organisms, CS has a period of post-antibiotic effect and post-antibiotic leukocyte enhancement. For gram-negative organisms no post-antibiotic effect exists and reduced efficacy of cephalosporin antimicrobial therapy has been reported when T > MIC is <80% (Craig, 2002). In neutropenic patients, maintaining T > MIC for 90–100% of the dosing interval is recommended (Turnidge, 1998).

ontrary to the vector nature of this drop cap, I was originally introduced to Maxwell Lord's more hand-done crazy lettering such as this piece. He and I were both asked to participate in Luke Lucas's project Some Type of Wonderful a year or two ago (which was a traveling art show in Australia eventually turned into a calendar) and I was totally drawn in by his crazy intricate stylings. He's particularly savvy with blackletter inspired lettering and tattooish scripts. Check him out!

Two years ago, BHGP's own Horace E. Cow did a series of off-season posts creating increasingly outlandish faux-Pro Combat uniforms for each team in the Big Ten at the time. I say "increasingly outlandish" because we thought they were too ridiculous to ever exist in reality... or so we thought. It turns out we may have just been very naive in 2012. Or perhaps Christopher Polyblend, the mastermind of all those designs back then, has been farming out his design services to Nike, adidas, and Under Armour. I mean, what else are we supposed to think when we see this:
Can you tell which one is real and which one sprung from the darkest reaches of Christopher Polyblend's brainmeats? It's hard, right? Well, I'll help you out -- the ones on the left are Actual Uniforms that are Genuinely Going to be Worn by Iowa State on Saturday. No foolin'.

Seriously, Iowa State: we try to move away from "Cyclowns" as a pejorative nickname for you guys, but you make it so hard when you do things like this...
Nor is this the first time this season that we've been wondering about Christopher Polyblend offering his services to a major uniform manufacturer. Earlier this year, Maryland wore uniforms inscribed with the text of "The Star-Spangled Banner" to commemorate the 200th anniversary of our national anthem. Of course, the idea of wrapping a football uniform in text? Polyblend did it first.
Northwestern is debuting new uniforms later this month and while they don't significantly crib design elements from Polyblend's design, they certainly look like something he might have toyed with in a brainstorming session. Gothic fonts? Haunting Illuminati-esque arches? Christopher Polyblend likes where your head is at, Under Armour.

Maybe we should have been more suspicious; after all, there were signs last year that the Polyblend-ization of college football uniforms was gaining steam. Isn't that right, Nebraska?
Hell, this year's "Homage to Polyblend" unis may have shrunk the N on the chest, but the pictures announcing the unis wore their Zubaz affinity loud and proud:

How far will this trend go? I don't think we can put limits on it at this point, frankly. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for those Hieronymus Bosch-inspired Buckeye unis to turn up any day now...

Six time NBL championship winning coach Brian Goorjian will return to the Australian Boomers coaching post, Basketball Australia announced on Friday.
Goorjian will coach the Boomers to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, having previously coached Australia to the 2004 (Athens) and 2008 (Beijing) Olympic Games.
The 67 year old will coach the national side through to the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, and says he's looking forward to taking the Boomers to new heights in his second stint at the helm.
"There is certainly a feeling of unfinished business, so there is a strong commitment from these players to participating in the Tokyo Olympics," Goorjian said.
"I am honoured to be appointed as the men's national coach, and I am looking forward to the challenge.
"Being reunited with some of the guys I previously coached at the Beijing Olympics is an exciting prospect.
"Australia is very fortunate to have such a talented group of athletes at this time.
"I will be sitting down with Basketball Australia over the coming days to get fully briefed on their existing plans as we start the road to Tokyo and beyond."
Goorjian's appointment as Boomers head coach will not impact on his role with Hawks in the NBL.

Play, as a teaching tool, has long been associated with the development of language, social, and motor skills in children. Despite the overwhelmingly positive effects of play on early development, increased screen time and ubiquitous technology is redefining the traditional notions of what constitutes play. A new genre of app that uses reflective artificial intelligence technology (RAIT) bridges the gap between traditional play and modern technology. This quantitative study explored OSMO's RAIT app Words as an intervention tool, which uses an iPad's built-in camera to integrate physical manipulatives into an onscreen app, ostensibly shifting the focus away from the iPad's screen and back into the physical environment, as compared to traditional, play-based intervention facilitated by a pre-service teacher. Twenty-three kindergarteners participated in the study and were randomly placed into RAIT intervention or traditional, play-based intervention groups in either an individual or group learning context. As part of the study, participants engaged in three, 15-minute sessions of their respective intervention type, and completed a pre- and post-assessment. Based on the results of this study, participants either improved or remained the same in their knowledge of emergent literacy skills. However, the type of intervention did not affect the amount of learning that occurred, meaning RAIT interventions and traditional, play-based interventions and individual and group interventions fostered emergent literacy skills at approximately the same rate. These findings are valuable for early childhood practitioners, as they provide evidence of the positive impact of devoting time to emergent literacy interventions, as well as the possibilities of using OSMO's Words app as a supplemental instructional tool.

So you've just had a baby and amongst the millions of other things now on your plate, you need to get a passport for them? Well first off, Congratulations!!! Secondly, take a deep breath and know that getting your baby's first US passport is not nearly as hard as it might sound. Yes, there are multiple steps and yes it can take a few weeks. However, the process itself is relatively painless!
This particular article is for US citizens looking to get a passport for a baby, however we will have additional articles soon for other countries!
The first thing you will want to do is schedule an appointment with an authorized passport acceptance facility. Depending on where you live, you may be able to get an appointment pretty quickly. Larger cities tend to have longer waits for passport appointments however, so be sure to make the appointment ASAP! Be aware that both parents need to be present at the appointment. If one of the child's legal guardians is unable to attend, then they will need to fill out the DS-3053 form, which basically states that they consent for their child to get a passport. There are also other circumstances that families may fall into, so if you are one of these, be sure to check out the travel.state.gov website and make sure you have all the required forms.
Next, you will want to print and fill out a DS-11 form. The passport facility will have these forms available for you to fill out when you arrive, however filling it out in advance just saves extra time and stress. And since you will probably be juggling a newborn as well, it is better to just leisurely fill this out while they are napping one day! Be sure to hold off on signing the application though until they ask you to at the appointment.
Next, you will need to gather up all the required documents for yourself and child.
Required documents:
Birth Certificate or Birth Abroad or Certificate of Citizenship
Proof of parental relationship (a child's birth certificate works as it will have the parents listed on it)
Parent's government issued ID (passport, drivers license, US military ID, etc.)
1 color photograph of the child with a white background (check out our article How to Take an Infant's Passport Photo for tips!)
Be sure to bring all physical forms of identification. You will also need to submit photocopies of each document, both front and back, single-sided.
Lastly, make sure you bring the correct amount for the fees. You can check here to double check. Not all acceptance facilities will accept all forms of payment. So, be sure to look ahead of time.
Need your baby's first US passport in a rush due to an international trip or unforeseen circumstances? You will need to either live in or get yourself to a city that has a passport agency. There are currently 27 passport agency locations around the US that can have a passport ready within 24 hours. There is of course an expedited fee and you will need to show proof of travel within 72 hours, but this is a great option if you have an emergency. Be sure to check the website and make an appointment beforehand.
We know these are stressful times with a new addition to the family, so hopefully this broke down the steps for your baby's first US passport and made it a little easier to manage for you! As a new mom or dad, we know easy is always better! And whatever the reason for traveling, we hope you have a safe and easy journey! Bon Voyage!

When selecting the appropriate passive sprayed fire protection components, the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. "Fire Resistance Directory, Volume 1" is an essential part of the design process. This directory provides the appropriate fire resistive material thicknesses for specified hourly ratings for ceiling assemblies, beams, columns, and walls and partitions utilizing spray-applied fire resistive materials, gypsum board and intumescent coatings.
When specifying fire resistive materials, selection of the appropriate UL fire resistance design is of paramount importance. Most UL designs are specific to a manufacturer, construction assembly, hourly rating and material type. In order to narrow down what is needed for your project, you need to have an understanding of the directory.
This specific volume within the series of UL Fire Resistance Directories contains fire-rating classifications based upon ANSI/ UL 263 (ASTM E119 and NFPA 251) and ANSI/UL 1709.
Subdivided for your Convenience
Although it may look overwhelming to a first time user, the UL Fire Resistance Directory is well structured and relatively simple to use. It utilizes an alphanumeric system in order to designate the type of assembly being protected and the type of material used to protect the construction assembly. Each letter designates a specific type of assembly. These types are separated into categories along with their corresponding letter designations; floor and ceiling-D and G Series; concrete slab-J Series; floor beams and joists-N Series; roof and ceiling-P Series; roof beams and joists-S Series; columns-X, Y & XR Series; and walls and partitions-U Series.
The various types of passive fire protection products are categorized along with their corresponding number designations: rigid board fire resistive materials-300 Series; gypsum board-500 Series; SFRMs-700 and 800 Series; and intumescent coatings-600 Series. Unprotected assemblies (not requiring fire protection to the underside of decking) which utilize these various types of fire protection products for the structural steel members are classified in the 900 Series designs.
It is also important to note that beams and joists are included in two types of test assemblies. One type of assembly contains a full representation of the floor or roof construction. These systems will determine a protection method on both the deck (if necessary) and the supporting beams and joists. These are identified in the D, G, J and P Series letter designations. The other type of assembly is a partial representation of the floor or roof construction. These systems only determine thicknesses on the supporting beams and joists and are commonly used for beam substitutions. These allow for thicknesses advantages, hourly ratings or beam types that are not available within the assemblies and are identified in the N and S Series letter designations.
Mix and Match
Beam substitutions are permitted in accordance with the introductory portion of the UL Fire Resistance Directory, Volume 1. In order to substitute an N or S Series beam into a D, G, J or P Series assembly, it must contain the same UL classified fire resistive material and must be used within assemblies that have similar or greater heat dissipation if the floor or roof construction specified within the design in which the beam is being transferred.
For example, you can substitute an N Series floor beam and joist into a D, G or J Series floor and ceiling assembly. However, you cannot substitute an N Series floor beam into a P Series roof and ceiling assembly.
Determining the hourly fire resistance ratings and the construction assemblies requiring the hourly ratings is essential. Hourly ratings are determined based on model building code criteria.
Hourly ratings are expressed in both restrained and unrestrained classifications. The restraint classification must be made by the project structural engineer and is one of the most important criteria in selecting the appropriate UL design.
It should be understood that the intent of the International Building Code is that the building is considered unrestrained unless otherwise indicated on the drawings by the structural engineer.
It is also important to note that the introductory portion of the UL Fire Resistance Directory, Volume 1 has specific criteria that need to be met in order for the construction type to be considered restrained. The required thickness of fire protection material may vary depending upon the construction assembly's classification.
The items needed in order to determine the appropriate UL design for floor and ceiling assemblies, at minimum, are the type(s) of fire protection product to be used, hourly rating requirement, depth of the floor decking, minimum thickness and type of concrete (lightweight or normal weight) and minimum structural steel size.
To select the appropriate UL design for roof and ceiling assemblies, you need to determine, at minimum, the type(s) of fire protection product to be used, hourly rating requirement, depth of the roof decking, type(s) of insulation used and the minimum structural steel size.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
The UL Fire Resistance Directory, Volume 1 allows for various thickness calculations for both beams and columns. Beam thicknesses are determined based on the tested member listed in the design for the specified hourly rating and utilizing the beam thickness adjustment formula as listed in the introductory portion of the UL Fire Resistance Directory for alternate beam sizes. Column designs list both tested member minimum types and sizes and typically list alternate formulas to determine thicknesses.
Beams and wide flange columns are expressed in terms of W/D ratio. Hollow, shaped tube steel members are expressed in terms of A/P ratio.
Once you have the basic understanding of the UL Fire Resistance Directory, you should be able to determine the appropriate design needed.
Most manufacturers of UL classified fire resistive materials provide technical support in assisting you with the design selection process and thickness required.

Carlos Legacy (CRD # 2148751) is a Financial Advisor at Insight Securities, Inc. in Highland Park, Illinois, where he also allegedly a control person of the company. Carlos Legacy has been in the securities industry since 1991 and previously worked at Investment Placement Group.
According to publicly available records released by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), since 2018, Carlos Legacy has been the subject of four customer complaints, alleging impropriety in connection with securities that were sold, that turned out to be worthless after the issuer filed for bankruptcy. The complaints allege "Clients were managed by third party advisors. In March of 2018 LOAs were submitted to transfer assets to another bank. Client alleges that the transfer documents were fraudulent and that Insight Securities, Mr Legacy and Pershing LLC were negligent in missing the red flags of this transfer." Carlos Legacy has denied the complaints and alleges that he and Insight Securities were not involved in the misconduct. The complaints allege total damages of more than $11.5 million.

Financial advisors have a legal and regulatory obligation to recommend only suitable investments that are appropriate for their clients' needs and objectives. Their employing brokerage firm has a legal and regulatory obligation to supervise the Financial Advisors' sales practices and dealings with clients. To the extent any of these duties are breached, the customer may be entitled to a recovery of his or her investment losses.
Reasonable basis suitability requires that a recommended investment or investment strategy be suitable or appropriate for at least some investors. Reasonable basis suitability requires an advisor to conduct adequate due diligence so that he or she can determine the risks and rewards of the investment or investment strategy.
Quantitative suitability requires a brokerage firm or financial advisor with actual or de facto control over a customer's account to have a reasonable basis for believing that a series of recommended transactions – even if suitable when viewed in isolation – is not excessive and unsuitable for the customer when taken together in light of the customer's investment profile. No single test defines excessive activity, but factors such as the turnover rate, the cost-equity ratio, and the use of in-and-out trading in a customer's account may provide a basis for a finding that a member or associated person has violated the quantitative suitability obligation.
Customer-specific suitability requires that a member or associated person have a reasonable basis to believe that the recommendation is suitable for a particular customer based on that customer's investment profile. Among the criteria that a financial advisor must evaluate to satisfy his or her customer-specific suitability obligations include the investor's:
• Age
• Other investments
• Financial situation and needs
• Tax status
• Investment objectives
• Time horizon
• Liquidity needs
• Risk tolerance
• Any other information disclosed by the customer

A story published on the government website this week speaks about the Hundreds of employers who are now behind traineeships.
The government is urging even more to get involved in helping to unlock the potential of motivated young people who are not yet work ready.
Traineeships: help 16-23 year olds gain the vital work experience needed in order to get an apprenticeship or other jobs giving unemployed young people work preparation, training and work experience as well as English and maths qualifications.
Skills and Enterprise Minister, Matthew Hancock MP said: "We introduced traineeships to unlock the great potential of young people. Employers involved in the programme are now helping their trainees to develop the skills that are required in the workplace. They can then build on this and begin their career with an apprenticeship or other sustainable job.
"With National Apprenticeship Week starting next week (3-7 March 2014), there has never been a better time to start thinking about offering a traineeship or an apprenticeship."
Funded projects are being delivered nationally, one project introduced in 2013 was The skills support for the workforce, which is backed by the ESF. The fund excists to support employers by upskilling the workforce.
Traineeships and apprenticeship programs aimed at the logistics industry are avilable through National Safety Training Services with the content tailored to the needs of the business and the individual.
Employers who want to find out how they can take on their first trainee and help develop talented young people with the practical skills for the workplace can access SSW (Skills support for the workforce) by calling 01482 644855
A logistics firm has been fined £250,000 after a worker was killed when he fell through a warehouse roof in Wythenshawe.
Michael Sweet, 48, from Stockport, was cleaning out the guttering at Aramex (UK) Ltd on the Ringway Trading Estate near Manchester Airport on 12 December 2011 when he stepped on a fragile panel and fell to the concrete floor below.
Aramex and Mr Sweet's employer, roofing contractor Gary Edwards, were both prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) after an investigation found no safety measures had been put in place.
Manchester Crown Court heard Aramex had hired Mr Edwards to fix a leak when water began to drip into the warehouse and offices, as he had previously carried out work for the company. He arrived on site with Mr Sweet and they were asked to fix the leak and clean out the guttering.
Later that same day, Mr Sweet fell through the warehouse roof when he stepped on a clear roof panel, designed to let light into the warehouse. He died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
During an interview under caution, Mr Edwards admitted that the only safety equipment he had provided for cleaning the warehouse roof had been a pair of gloves.
Safety measures could have included placing boards over the fragile roof panels, using harnesses, erecting scaffolding or hiring a cherry picker. However, Mr Edwards failed to implement any of these or to carry out a risk assessment for the work.
The HSE investigation found Aramex had also ignored its own health and safety guidelines. The company failed to supervise the work or assess how it would be carried out, despite knowing the roof was fragile.
Aramex (UK) Ltd and Gary Edwards each pleaded guilty to single breaches of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
Aramex, of Heywood Distribution Park in Heywood, was fined £250,000 and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £20,000. Gary Edwards, 55, of Silverdale Road in Gatley, received a four-month prison sentence suspended for one year, which means he will be sent to prison if he commits another offence in the next year.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector Ian Betley said:
"Michael Sweet sadly lost his life because neither Aramex nor Gary Edwards put enough thought into his safety while working on a fragile warehouse roof.
"Mr Edwards had carried out work at the warehouse on several previous occasions and so knew the roof could be dangerous, but he failed to take any action to keep Michael safe.
"Aramex was also aware of the risks but simply left the two men to it, rather than carrying out its own assessment of how the work would be carried out and monitoring what was being done.
"Companies and individuals have a legal duty to ensure the safety of workers they employ or who carry out work for them. If Aramex and Mr Edwards had taken their responsibilities seriously then Michael's life could have been saved."

Businesses are being urged to join a major programme of training to equip the Humber's workforce with the skills to maximise the region's economic opportunities. The Skills Support for the Workforce programme will provide bespoke training to boost the skills of workers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) up to July 2015. Up to 3,000 workers are expected to benefit from relevant training under the initiative, led by Hull College Group and delivered in partnership with other colleges and specialist training providers.
Hull College Group has secured a £3.5 million contract, funded by the European Social Fund, to increase skills levels and the capacity of SMEs in sectors identified as key to the Humber economy now and in the future by the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
The priority sectors are chemicals; ports and logistics; food and agriculture; renewables; construction; engineering and manufacturing; creative digital; tourism; and health and social care.
The programme is already under way and was promoted to an audience of employers at Hull's Guildhall on December 12, 2013, with a further event at the CATCH training facility in Stallingborough, North East Lincolnshire, on December 16.
Hull College Principal Graham Towse said the programme was a 'truly collaborative partnership' involving Bishop Burton College, East Riding College, Grimsby Institute, North Lindsey College and a number of specialist training providers.
He said the chance for businesses to boost the skills of their workforce came at a time of major opportunity for the region, with huge investments being made in renewable energy and a fast-growing digital sector, adding to the strength of well-established industries, such as manufacturing, chemicals, food and health and social care.
'The Humber is on the cusp of an industrial revolution and skills are our absolute top priority,' he said. 'This programme is about supporting the long-term growth and sustainability of the region's economy and its businesses.'
Project Manager Vicki Isaac said the training was totally free to businesses with fewer than 250 employees in the key sectors and would be tailored to the specific needs of eligible companies. Any employee aged over 19 can benefit from the training.
The programme is also being supported and promoted by Humber Chemical Focus, Renewables Network, Bishop Burton College and the Humber Education Business Partnership who are acting as sector leads. These organisations will also provide feedback on how companies have been helped, to build a picture of the skills support needs of SMEs within the region's key sectors.
Mike Parker, Chair of the Humber LEP Employment and Skills Board, said: 'We urge SMEs to take advantage of this offer to work with colleges and sector leads from across the Humber.
'Not only will businesses be able to access bespoke training packages to help their businesses to grow, the partnership can collect useful information to see if there are common themes we could use to help SMEs in the future. Through great partnership work we could see hundreds of SMEs closer to reaching their potential.'
Lynn Benton, Employment and Skills Manager for the Humber LEP, said: 'To develop a vibrant economy we need to have a skills system that supports growth. This programme will improve the supply of skills and also identify skills gaps that we need to fill. It offers totally flexible, bespoke training that really meets the needs of employers.'
Employers who want to take advantage of free training under the Skills Support for the Workforce programme can contact National Safety Training Services, if the courses delivered by them is the type of training you are looking for or if you would like information on other types of funded training supported by the fund in Hull and the Humber then please get in touch with Hull college SSW team on 01482 598731 or e-mail email@example.com
Further information about the programme can be found at www.hull-college.ac.uk/employers/SSW
Hull College has secured a contract for £3.5 million to deliver the Skills Support for the Workforce (SSW) and Local Response Fund (LRF). The project is funded by the European Social Fund ESF. The focus for the funding will be to deliver workplace learning courses across the Humber region to meet individual, employer and regional needs by up skilling the workforce.
The project will be delivered in partnership with Bishop Burton College, East Riding College, Grimsby Institute, North Lindsey College and a number of specialist providers to engage with learners and key employment sectors as identified by the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
The contract started in July 2013 and will run until July 2015. The programme is aimed at supporting employed individuals aged 19 and over in a small medium enterprise (SME). It will enhance their skills and career prospects to reduce the risk of long term unemployment and welfare dependency while boosting the local economy.
To ensure the greatest impact to local businesses and the economy, the programme will target key growth sectors in the region as defined by the Humber LEP including
Chemicals, Steel, Food Processing, Engineering, Manufacturing and Healthcare. Support will also be prioritised for key local employment growth sectors including Construction, Transport, Business Services, Health, Hotels and Catering, Retail, Financial and Business Services, Gas, Electricity and water, Paper and Publishing.
Lord Haskins, Chair of Humber Local Enterprise Partnership said: "This Skills Support for the Workforce is aimed at SMEs which play a vital role in the Humber economy and it is important that the Humber LEP supports them to grow. SMEs need to take advantage of this £3.5 million funding to up-skill their staff and I encourage all employers to make contact with their local provider about their training needs, since this is a real opportunity for their employees to gain new skills and qualifications."
80% of all employers in the Humber area are SMEs and one of the aims of the Humber LEP is to increase the number of employers who train their staff.
The Renewable Energy sector and other developments offer companies in the Humber region unprecedented opportunities to expand and grow. It is estimated that over the next 5 years up to 22,000 jobs will be created in the region. The up-skilling of the workforce is vital in enabling existing companies to take advantage of the new opportunities that the renewable industry and its supply chain offers. The allocation of £3.5 million for Skills Support for the Workforce (SSW) will enable companies across the region to develop their staff for the short and long term needs of their companies and will contribute to making a real difference within their productivity.
The Humber Skills Support for the Workforce funded project is delivered in in partnership with the Hull College Group as prime contractor and the Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Other colleges working in partnership are North Lindsey College, Grimsby Institute, Bishop Burton College, East Riding College along with private providers to meet the needs of the regional training priorities.

Dangers of echinacea remedies
Is Echinacea a toxic plant?
Echinacea is not a toxic plant, although it has some contraindications due to the action of its active ingredients.
Like all medicines and herbal remedies, it is necessary to check the contraindications of the plant before taking it.
Precautions for treatments with echinacea
- Do not take for a long time. Echinacea should not be taken for more than two months without rest, as it loses efficacy. It is recommended to rest 1-2 weeks for every 2 months of treatment.
- Check with your doctor before taking echinacea if you are pregnant or during breast-feeding. Its safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been established, so its use should only be prescribed by a professional.
- Do not take echinacea if you have an autoimmune disease. Echinacea is not recommended in people with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. In these cases, as in the case of tuberculosis, it is recommended to consult with the doctor or specialist before applying it.
- Its use with HIV patients is not very clear and could be harmful.
- Do not administer to people allergic to daisies or other species of the Compositae family. In case of skin reactions or respiratory problems, stop using the product and consult the doctor.

Canon SX720 HS review
Written by Ken McMahon
Canon PowerShot SX720 HS vs Panasonic Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 quality
To test real-life performance, I shot this scene with the Canon PowerShot SX720 HS and the Panasonic Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 using their best quality JPEG settings and at their base 80 ISO sensitivity setting. Both cameras were mounted on a tripod and image stabilisation was disabled, the sensitivity was manually set to 80 ISO and Aperture priority mode was selected for the exposure. I'd previously determined that the SX720 HS produced equally good results at f3.3 and f4 and shot comparisons at both apertures. Here I've used the f3.3 results as they were more consistent in terms of exposure. At f3.3 both cameras selected a shutter speed of 1/1250.
The first table below shows the PowerShot SX720 HS at its maximum 24mm equivalent wide angle setting with, as I've said, the aperture set to f3.3. The crops are taken from across the frame with the first and last from close to the left and right edges with the crops two and three closer to the middle of the frame as you can see marked by the red frames above. The SX720 HS gets off to a poor start with a crop from the left edge of the frame which is, there's no other way to describe it, pretty blurry.
The second and third crops from closer to the middle of the frame show a marked improvement though. Here there's a lot more detail with sharp clean edges, but even in the centre, where the lens produces its best results, the sensor struggles to resolve the finer detail. You can't make out the structure of the stonework on the church tower, or the time on the clock, nor can you see the individual roof tiles on the buildings in the foreground of the second crop. The distant lighthouse in the third crop is obscured by atmospheric haze, but the one in the foreground at the bottom is quite crisp and well defined.
The final crop from close to the right edge of the frame is much clearer than the one on the left and you can make out a good level of detail in the roofs and chimneys.
The comparison with the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 is an interesting one. The first Panasonic crop is much better than the Canon one, but from there onwards the PowerShot SX720 HS is in front all the way with sharper crops showing more detail than those from the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60. With 20 Megapixels the Canon sensor produces slightly larger image detail, but there's more of it and it's sharper too.
Scroll down the page to see more quality comparisons at a range of longer focal lengths, or to find out how it performs at higher sensitivities head for my Canon SX720 HS noise results, skip to my Canon SX720 HS sample images, or head straight to my verdict.
Canon PowerShot SX720 HS quality at 450mm equivalent
The image above was taken with the PowerShot SX720 HS at roughly 450mm equivalent. As the lens is zoomed in, the maximum aperture closes. At each focal length tested I set the aperture to the maximum available – in this case f5.6 on the PowerShot SX720 HS and f6 on the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60. As before the cameras were mounted on a tripod and stabilisation disabled. The crops are taken from the areas marked in red.
At 450mm equivalent you'll notice that there's a lot of what looks like distortion with lines that should be straight – the edges of window frames for example – looking wobbly. This is due in part to atmospheric conditions and the varying refractive properties of the air between the subject and the camera lens. But given these test images were taken at the same time under the same conditions we can still make valid comparisons. Where, with the exception of the first crop, the PowerShot SX720 HS had a clear advantage at the 24mm equivalent focal length, here in the middle of the zoom range I don't think there's very much in it at all.
For this next set of crops I zoomed The TZ100 / ZS100 in to it's maximum 720mm equivalent focal length and matched it on the PowerShot SX720 HS. As before the crops are taken from the red areas shown above. Here I think it is possible to see a quality difference between the two sets of crops and this time it's the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 which wins it. There's clearly more detail in the stonework in the first crop and all of the others look just a little bit sharper and more detailed.
Again the major limiting factor in the quality here is the impact of heat rising so it's important to remember if you are going for a super-zoom camera, you may suffer a similar effect that becomes more pronounced the longer you zoom. This may limit the usefulness of a super-zoom range, at least when shooting distant landscape compositions.
Canon PowerShot SX720 HS quality at 960mm equivalent
Finally here's a set of crops from the PowerShot SX720 HS at its maximum 960mm equivalent focal length. These look fairly similar to the previous set, but one thing I can see here that's absent from the earlier crops is a little bit of colour fringing. Given the general lack of detail at these longer focal lengths though, that's a minor worry.
Overall it's a bit of a mixed bag but I think you could sum it up by saying that the PowerShot SX720 HS performs better than the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 at the wide angle setting, but the Lumix has a slight performance edge at the longer focal lengths. That said, I don't think there's enough of a difference to warrant choosing one over the other on quality grounds alone. Once again the atmosphere is going to be the biggest limiting factor in achieving a quality result at longer focal lengths.
To find out how it performs at higher sensitivities head for my Canon SX720 HS noise results, skip to my Canon SX720 HS sample images, or head straight to my verdict.
Canon PowerShot SX720 HS vs Panasonic Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 noise results
To examine noise levels under real-life conditions, I shot this scene with the Canon PowerShot SX720 HS and the Panasonic Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 at each of their ISO sensitivities using their highest quality JPEG settings. Both cameras were mounted on a tripod and stabilisation was disabled.
The cameras were set to their maximum wide angle 24mm equivalent view. The ISO sensitivity was manually set to the lowest available setting and Aperture priority mode was selected for the exposure.
I'd previously determined that both f3.3 and f4 produced the best results from the the PowerShot SX720 HS so I set the aperture to f4. With the sensitivity set to 80 ISO, the SX720 HS metered an exposure of 0.6s. Also set to 80 ISO and f4, I set +0.3EV exposure compensation on the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 to achieve the same 0.6s exposure as on the Canon.
Here we're looking at crops from the PowerShot SX720 HS which has a 20 Megapixel sensor against crops from the 18 Megapixel Lumix TZ80 / ZS60. Consequently the Canon crops show a slightly smaller area with larger detail. Looking carefully at the 80 ISO crops, the SX720 HS crop on the left doesn't look any more or less noisy than the one from the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 on the right. The only difference I can see is that the Canon crop is slightly more contrasty. The same is true of the 100 ISO crop; both models perform very well at the base ISO sensitivity and one step up with a small amount of noise which you have to look very hard to spot.
At 200 ISO it looks to me like there's the tiniest bit more noise in the Canon crop and at 400 ISO there's a little more again. Take a look at the white wall between the hymn board and the organ and you'll see it – the edges on the Canon crop are a little more crumbly. That slight difference continues right the way up to the PowerShot SX720 HS's maximum 3200 ISO setting. The gap doesn't widen though, or if it does it's only by the smallest of margins.
Some or maybe even all of this could be down to differences in processing, but whatever the reason, above 100 ISO the crops from the Lumix TZ80 / ZS60 look slightly less noisy that those from the PowerShot SX720 HS.

Belarus halted exports of base oils and finished lubricants this month in an effort to mitigate a potential energy crisis after Russia cut off crude oil deliveries to the country.
The government in Minsk is trying to minimize the local impacts after Moscow halted crude deliveries beginning Jan. 1. The two sides have not yet agreed to renewed contracts for Russias crude exports to Belarus. Russia has said it will raise prices if Belarus does not agree to closer economic integration.
Belarusian state-owned oil company Belneftekhim said exports of what the country classifies as chemicals, including base oils and lubes, were halted as of Jan. 1.
Deliveries have been suspended …. Plants are reducing their workload to the technical minimum, a spokesperson for Belneftekhim said.
One trading source told Lube Report that some spot volumes in January have been secured, but he expressed skepticism that regular supplies will resume soon.
Russia agreed to send about 900,000 tons of crude oil to Naftan to continue some operations for January. However, that amount is insufficient to cover normal levels of production. That means that oil products output, including base oils, can be [reduced by half], said Denis Varaksin, manager at DYM Resources, a Berlin-based base oil trader.
Naftans refinery in Novopolotsk has capacity to produce 198,000 tons per year of API Group I base oil and a minuscule amount of Group III base oil.
JSC Mozyr Oil Refinery is also state-owned and produces fuels but no base oils. Varaksin said the timing would be poor for any impact on base oils because the market recently began to pick up after demand was sluggish for most of 2019.
Belarus obtains more than 80 percent of its crude oil consumption from Russia but has not yet agreed to a contract for 2020. Russia said it will raise prices after failing to get Belarus to agree to greater economic and political integration. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko rejects the idea of political union with Moscow but has balked at the price increase because it would probably lead to hikes in prices for oil products in Belarus.
A halt to Russian crude deliveries is equally unpalatable because it could lead to domestic shortages of refined products. Lukashenkos government is hoping that halting the countrys own exports could leave more oil products for its own market..
The two countries have had numerous spats over the years over oil and gas contracts.
This situation could not in any way harm Russia, said Oleg Tsvetkov, chief specialist at Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis of the Russian Academy of Science. We do not use Belarus base oils, while the additives made in LLK-Naftan are not affected because this company could still operate without Lukoils support.
LLK-Naftan is a Russo-Belarusian lubricant additive production joint venture based in Novopolotsk.
Tsvetkov predicted that Belarus could not hold on too long and may agree on some Russian demands as it total energy needs are dependable on Russian supplies, while diverting the energy sources from Europe for example, would be not possible even in longer terms.
This is a winter aggravation, and it could not last too long, maybe until March, Tsvetkov said, adding that resolutions to previous spats were mutually beneficial.

Claudia Kanne spoke with eloquence as she discussed the life-and-death experience she had more than 12 years ago when she ingested a toxic dry-cleaning solvent. Kanne survived and was able to tell her story through a diary-turned-documentary called "Dry-Clean Only."
Kanne's film, along with more than 40 other submissions, will be presented at the sixth annual Cinema Verde International Environmental Film and Arts Festival today through Sunday at the Paramount Plaza Hotel.
"Cinema Verde provides environmental education to the public to foster sustainable solutions and help forge a healthier future for all," said Trish Riley, festival director.
Cinema Verde was one of the first film festivals Kanne sent her documentary to.
"The Q&A is the thing I am looking forward to most, and I am so thrilled to be in this festival," Kanne said.
Seven of the directors chosen in the festival will attend via Skype for people in the audience to walk up to the computer and ask questions, Riley said.
Cinema Verde presented one of its films at the Key West Film Festival in November and is set to take films to the International School of Sustainable Business in the Philippines at the end of February.
"This is the year we need to move from a volunteer effort to a fully professional operation, so we are seeking a strong corporate sponsor to partner with us and help Cinema Verde achieve its personal goal," Riley said.
Tickets are $10 for about a two-hour entry, and a film-only day pass is $25.
Emily Schmidt, a 19-year-old UF environmental science sophomore, said she's attending because of her strong concern for the environment.
"I am looking forward to the live music and watching environmentally driven films with other people that share the same care and passions I do."
[A version of this story ran on page 6 on 2/12/2015 under the headline "Cinema Verde festival starts today"]

After two months of hands on experience working with the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), the eight interns of the 2017 Student Attachment/ Internship Programme today said their goodbyes to CXC.
This year, the council revamped its student attachment programme which saw the largest number of interns thus far representing tertiary institutions around the island. On 1 June 2017, the interns were placed in each department to gather real world knowledge about their career fields of choice, as preparation for the world of work.
Registrar of CXC, Glenroy Cumberbatch told those at the Farewell Ceremony held for the interns, that he was happy to have them, and happier to see them go, accepting and appreciating their various contributions.
"This is one area that occurred this year that is of great interest and great excitement to us at the Caribbean Examinations Council…we really made a concerted effort to select person carefully, to bring them into an environment where I am sure they would have enjoyed," Cumberbatch said.
He also advised the interns that due to the high rates of unemployment in the region, they should prepare to find work for themselves if the situation arises. While wishing them well in their future endeavours, he hoped that they would remember the critical values that were taught at CXC as they go on to become effective workers.
The interns were challenged to deliver speeches where they shared their experience at CXC and thanked their supervisors and co-works who would have played various roles in making the internship successful. The also participated in CXC jeopardy to test their knowledge of the council and presented a farewell video to staff.
The internship officially comes to an end on Monday 31 July 2017.

The Decorative Arts
Volume 1: Sculptures, enamels, maiolicas and tapestries
- The aim of this first volume is to catalogue the works in the collection, whose decorative aspects are every bit as important as their narrative content
Aesthetic seduction, superb workmanship, and historical interest are the three central themes in the collection of Fondation Gandur pour l'Art (Geneva), created in 2010 and still expanding. The aim of this first volume is to catalogue the works in the collection, whose decorative aspects are every bit as important as their narrative content. The works are for the most part sculptures – statuettes and ornamental reliefs – although two-dimensional decorations depicting figurative scenes associated with classical antiquity or Christianity are no less important.
The periods represented by the sculptural works discussed in this book reflect the scope of the whole collection, which ranges from the 12th to the 18th century. And since the goal of the collection is to document centuries of cultural exchange between France and neighbouring countries, all the works included in the book come from these latter regions. The hybrid styles are closely linked, and this is an aspect of considerable importance, as is the originality certain pieces display and, last but not least, their aesthetic quality.
The book is arranged by topic, which brings out the great originality and extraordinary richness of the collection, as well as the extremely varied nature of the subjects, narrative episodes, and figures portrayed. More specifically, the topics are divided into five sections: ancient gods and heroes; biblical and allegorical figures; scenes from the life of the Virgin; episodes from the life of Christ; and saints and intercessors. Each work has its own entry that describes the historical and geographical context in which it was made, analyses its iconographic content, and includes a bibliography and a list of the exhibitions where the work was exhibited.

Jamie Burch Won the Surbiton Easter Advanced Tournament
[<<] [>>] by Kevin Carter
at Surbiton Croquet Club`
21 April 2014
Jamie Burch was unbeaten and unbeatable in this year's Easter Open at Surbiton, 20th-21st April. He was the best shot by some margin and once in never broke down - a simple formula that saw him beating all the usual suspects: Aiton, Avery, Dawson, Hopgood, Patel, etc. By Monday lunchtime he had assured himself of the trophy, even if he were to lose his last game (which he didn't).
There were 31 TPs (including Dawson's 7 and Burch's 5) and three SXPs (Aiton x 2 and Avery). Mark Avery was the only player with just one loss and hence finished second.
George Noble, approaching a significant birthday, bought himself a new mallet as a present. This seemed to work well for him and he scored an excellent 5/7. Mark Ormerod, too, proved to be a steady competitor, finishing with 6/8.
We welcomed Jarrod Coutts from New Zealand. He enjoyed the number of games on offer and completed nine, despite an early finish on sunday owing to heavy rain. Now he needs to work on winning more of them ....
The courts were in great shape; the food and beer were magnificent and it was no surprise that this popular tournament was again oversubscribed.

New bridge construction method
A world premiere in Austria: A new bridge construction technique was developed at TU Wien and has now been successfully implemented by ASFINAG in the construction of the Fürstenfeld expressway, S7.
This new bridge construction method consists in building the bridge girders in a vertical position and in rotating the bridge girders into the final horizontal position. The span of the bridge girders is reduced by the compression struts, which enables considerable savings in construction materials.

Dartmouth Boy Beats Cancer, Celebrates with 'Landon Day' at Quinn Elementary School
Some emotional moments at Quinn Elementary School in Dartmouth this morning as 6-year-old Landon Guile was honored after battling leukemia for the past year. The boy had been undergoing chemotherapy treatments but has managed to put them in his rearview mirror.
The school decided to create a day in his honor.
The school declared Feb. 17 "Landon Day." In addition to celebrating that Landon is now in remission, his first-grade teacher, Anne Realini, interviewed him to make sure that everything about the day was his very favorite.
How Landon Day Was Celebrated
Per his request, students and staff showed up to school wearing their favorite pajamas to add to the festive spirit. They were also tasked with bringing in their favorite stuffed animals. His teachers, friends and fellow students lined the hallways, cheering Landon on as he walked to his classroom, Baby Yoda in hand.
The day was capped off with a showing of Disney's "Encanto," complete with Landon's favorite snacks (pretzels and Oreos). "We want to shout it from the rooftops," said Realini. "Landon beat cancer!"
What Landon Day Means to Quinn School
"It's just so special because Landon is a very special little boy who has gone through something that no one should have to go through," Realini said. "He's come out on the other side strong, and just as sweet as can be. He deserves this over-the-top day to celebrate how amazing he is."
A Special Award
Landon was honored with a special Principals Award for Bravery.
"I've been crying happy tears all day," said Landon's mom, Amy Guile. "I don't even have the words. I'm speechless. The things that the Quinn School did for Landon today were just absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond. It was truly heartwarming."
Landon told us that he feels "fantastic" to be finished with his chemotherapy.

Final Fantasy XIV is getting the band back together with 5.1's new music tools
Battle of the bards
Move over, GarageBand. Get outta here, Ableton. Final Fantasy XIV's jam sessions are getting a nice big update in Patch 5.1, bringing the MMORPG one step closer to being a legitimate piece of audio engineering software. This week, Square Enix detailed the new ensemble features arriving in Patch 5.1, that update wot has the Nier stuff in it.
While all those raiders go off to fight sad robots in the new endgame challenges, picking up an instrument and getting on stage with your pals is about to become easier than ever. Who needs gear, anyway? Performing is its own reward.
Sure, it's perfectly possible to hold impromptu jam sessions with other soloists right now. But online games have pesky little latency issues, meaning your individual connection speeds could make the resulting noise sound like a discordant mess. Perfect for Ezorea's burgeoning post-rock scene, yes, but a little infuriating for everyone else.
Ensembles get around this by putting a conductor between you and the audience. Each member of the band will have their tracks sent to the game's server, which will compile all tracks into a single unified sound before delivering them to an expecting audience. While playing, you'll have options on how you want to listen to the jam yourself.
Want to hear the collaborative whole? The "All Members" setting lets you hear what fans hear, though the increased delay might make it harder to keep to the beat. Trying to nail your part and don't mind missing out on the final performance? "Self Only" lets you listen to your inputs immediately without waiting to send music to the server.
Here's a jam under the old system.
So that's latency sorted, but what about would-be bandmates with no sense of rhythm? Ensembles also add a neat little metronome feature to keep your group in time. For you non-musicians out there, these are simple wee clocks that emit a constant "tick-tock" at whatever speed you like, helping keep performances steady at whatever pace you like.
Did you somehow not spend your childhood bouncing between violin, piano and guitar tuition? Patch 5.1 adds performance assistance features, such as colour-coding the correct note during recitals. Turns out, the norm is just flatly learning to read music sheets in an MMORPG. Huh!
5.1 also brings some banging new brass instruments into the fold. It's time to get jazzy with tubas, trombones, trumpets, horns and saxophones, adventurers.
Just don't get carried away. Square Enix might've gone and made the best band simulator since the plastic guitar era, but don't you dare play a song that's not on their approved list. FFXIV's terms of service quite explicitly forbid recording or streaming original compositions, and playing third-party tunes at all is grounds for a ban.
Getting a band full of catgirls and anime boys sounds like it'll be much easier to set up than lurking around shady guitarist wanted pages, either way. I'd be willing to give it a bash, but FFXIV seems to resist being installed on my PC.
Patch 5.1: "Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty" is due to arrive later this month. I hope you've been attending rehearsals.

The three research studies included in this dissertation aimed to examine the reasons for e-cigarette use among U.S. adults, and to examine the U.S. public opinion on allowing e-cigarette use where smoking is otherwise prohibited. Mixed (quantitative and qualitative) research methods were used. Data from an online survey (2012) and focus groups (2014) were analyzed. Among 307 survey respondents who had ever used e-cigarettes, the three most common reasons for e-cigarette use were curiosity (40.8%), the belief that "it helps people quit smoking" (19.1%), and perceiving e-cigarettes "less harmful than regular cigarettes" (9.3%). About 40% of U.S. adults were uncertain whether e-cigarette use should be allowed in smoke-free public areas, 37% opposed, while 23% favored allowing their use in smoke-free environments. The majority of the focus group participants have used e-cigarettes to complement regular cigarette smoking and intake nicotine where smoking is restricted. E-cigarette use was viewed to be less harmful and more convenient than smoking regular cigarettes. The findings of the three studies suggest that curiosity about e-cigarettes lead to experimentation and the convenience to use e-cigarettes in smoke-free areas lead to continual use. With impending regulation and the changing e-cigarette landscape, there is a need for continued monitoring and research on reasons for and attitudes about e-cigarette use, and on public opinion pertaining to e-cigarette use in smoke-free areas.

Bishop Pablo Virgilio David of Kalookan, president of the Philippine Catholic bishops' conference, called on Filipinos to fight disinformation ahead of this year's national elections.
Speaking at the launch of #FactsFirstPH, an initiative that seeks to promote truth and fight disinformation, the prelate said addressing falsehood is an "urgent concern."
"I hope and pray that more individuals and organizations will join in this proactive fight against the use of social media for disinformation," said Bishop David in a recorded message.
The initiative brings together various sectors to promote truth in public spaces and exact accountability from those who spread lies.
It also aims to provide crucial information to voters and restore the integrity of the elections.
The initiative is composed of more than 100 organizations from the media, civil society, business, academe, the legal profession, and the Church.
Bishop David said that in the fight for truth "you can count on [the Church] as your ally."
"I am confident that our banding together will be a big boost to the objective of supporting the work of fact-check groups by amplifying the fact-check pieces that they produce," he said.
Over 100 groups have joined the multi-sectoral initiative that partnered with Google News Initiative and Meedan.
It will adopt a four-layer mechanism to address disinformation, including the monitoring of social media platforms for false claims.

After a day of meetings, James, a client with China's top television station, announced he wanted to treat us to a traditional massage at a local spa. I thought this was a wonderful idea.
The Richael CEO Club is absolutely first rate. Sia and I were lavishly pampered. A woman rubbed my feet for an hour while I was served exotic fruits and herbal tea. I decided James was my new best friend.
After the exceptional foot massage we were led to another room where we would get a back massage. The woman who had so expertly handled my feet disappeared and was replaced by a large burly man. I was suddenly less enthusiastic.
I don't like being massaged by men. I can't relax. Masseuses at Spas are supposed to be female. It says so on the label. This was going to be awkward.
He started with my neck. He was rough. He told me my neck was quite stiff. I suggested that breaking it wasn't a good solution. He commented on my skin. This sounded dangerously close to flirtation.
He said, "Your body strong."
"No, it isn't."
"You have good flexibility."
"No, I don't."
"You just relax."
"Is our time up yet?"
"It's been five minutes."
"I feel better already."
"You want it harder?"
"No, and I'll thank you never to ask that question again."
And so it went for an hour. I eventually decided he was not going to kill me or sodomize me, and was able to relax and enjoy a very good, if occasionally rough, massage.
After our spa treatment we met three local television stars from James' network and headed out to dinner. The television personalities were apparently very well known – most of the restaurant staff wanted to pose for pictures with them. We were also joined by a senior official with the Anti-Corruption Police, his bodyguard, a Commercial Police official and four property developers. It was a fascinating group, upstaged only by the array of food.
Tonight's menu included frog, turtle skin (why just the skin no one would explain), a dish described only as "fungus", sea cucumber and cobra (yes, the snake.) Sia told me I'd like the cobra, that it tasted very much like stingray. Sure, I eat stingray all the time. It'll be a little taste of home.
Dinner also featured copious amounts of .45 proof Chinese rice wine. The Chinese have a tradition of constantly toasting during big meals. There is an old Chinese proverb that says "If you leave a social meal sober you did not truly enjoy yourself." I apparently really enjoyed myself.
Toasts were done table-wide, or just between two people, with one pointing across the table at someone else and offering a "gan-bai" toast, which means you must empty your glass.
I don't know what we were toasting, but it seemed like nearly everything said required one, so we drank.
And drank.
And drank.
I don't think I've ever laughed so much during a meal or understood so little.
We finished the night dancing and dicing at the G+ Club in the Xian Tan Di district. At least that's what they tell me. My memory gets a little fuzzy after the 10th gan-bai.

A White House aide set off a stampede of media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare – but his critics don't seem to get how small businesses pay their taxes.
The drama started when Matt Drudge tweeted, "Just paid the Obamacare penalty for not 'getting covered'… I'M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX."
Liberty tax, Obamacare penalty, whatever you call it, it's a classic case of red tape. Ironic, right, that even in rebelling against an intrusive bureaucracy, by cutting the red tape, we still get stuck with it.
Jesse Lee, the Director of Progressive Media at Barack Obama's White House, responded that that was a "Flat lie, no fee for previous year…"
Lee's response to Drudge set off a media firestorm, with mainstream media reporters countering him on Twitter and in their own articles to claim he does not have to pay Obamacare's Individual Mandate tax until next year. The individual mandate went into effect Jan. 1 of this year, and most people paying their taxes right now are paying taxes for 2013.
"Dude, there's no penalty until next yr," Sahil Kapur of Talking Points Memo tweeted.
Kapur's colleague at TPM Dylan Scott wrote a full story with a headline alleging Drudge was "probably lying."
"Americans don't pay a penalty for not having health insurance until they file their 2014 taxes — in 2015," Scott wrote. "So either Drudge is lying or he paid a huge penalty a year earlier than he needed to."
"Penalty isn't collected until 2015," Sam Baker of National Journal tweeted at Drudge.
The Huffington Post's Jeffrey Young wrote a full article in which he described Drudge's tweet as "weird" and a "little head-scratching" because the Obamacare tax does not kick in until the 2014 tax year.
Drudge indicated in his followup tweets that since he is self-employed as the proprietor of The Drudge Report, he files as a small business. According to the IRS's website for self-employed individuals, they are required to pay taxes quarterly.
"As a self-employed individual, generally you are required to file an annual return and pay estimated tax quarterly," the IRS website reads.
So, when they file and pay those 2014 first quarter taxes, such individuals have to pay the Obamacare Individual Mandate tax if they opted to not have health insurance—like Drudge just did.
Additionally, the IRS form (1040-ES) for estimating quarterly taxes specifically recommends adding the mandate penalty to line 12 for "other taxes" — to pay before the first quarterly deadline of April 15.
"It is true that thousands of small businesses will be forced to pay Obamacare taxes quarterly in 2014," a Senate Budget Committee aide told Breitbart News on Friday afternoon.
Drudge even indicated as much in followup tweets, but the reporters — and the White House — have left their criticisms of him intact.
"Dazed team Obama media reporters think Opt-Out tax 'year away'?" Drudge tweeted. "Not for small businesses that file Qtr estimates. We're there NOW, baby #pay."
And we wonder why healthcare doesn't work when you bring Uncle Sam into the equation… Yikes, we as a nation don't even know how to properly file our taxes, or tell citizens how they file their taxes. Makes sense, though, right? Why would the White House want to drop the bad news that their healthcare solution would preemptively tax small businesses, long before the program has even proved itself successful?

Ah, the dog days of summer. As the thermometer rises and the smell of barbeque wafts through the air, the mind can't help but long for the ice cold refreshment of a summer cocktail. And while little could improve the tangy sweet sensation or thirst quenching glory of your favorite adult beverage, perhaps a splash of CBD just might.
Well, you're in luck! Look no further than our water soluble broad spectrum berry flavored tincture. An ideal complement to nearly any cocktail. Yet, in the spirit of the bounty of summer, allow me to share a recipe for one of my favorites:
Berry Berry Gin Fizz-
(servers up to 8 adults)
A 6oz container of blackberries
½ cup of sugar
2 cups of your favorite gin
8 milliliters of berry flavored Active CBD
1 cup fresh lime juice
Club soda
8 sprigs of Thai basil or sweet basil
Puree the blackberries and sugar in a blender, then let stand. Stir it occasionally until the sugar dissolves. It should take about 10 mins. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. This should result in about a ¾ cup of juice puree. Discard the seeds that should be leftover in the sieve. Stir the gin, berry flavored CBD, and lime juice into the pitcher. Divide evenly among glasses filled with ice and top with soda. As a final touch, pop a sprig of basil in the glass as a garnish and flavor enhancer, and serve.
I truly hope you enjoy this equal parts refreshing and relaxing summer cocktail as much as I have. And please, drink responsibly.

I write this morning about Representative Eric Cantor's bill HR 4133, now apparently stuck in Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Its purpose: " To express the sense of Congress regarding the United States-Israel strategic relationship, to direct the President to submit to Congress reports on United States actions to enhance this relationship and to assist in the defense of Israel, and for other purposes. "
We need have no Rocket Science pedigree to understand the above sense. Israel, a tiny little enclave of polyglots on the Eastern Mediterranean coast somewhat sentimentally attached to the USA, needs US financial and military support. Hostile Islamic hordes surround their land. The sentimental attachment exists because the US saved the survivors of numerous German concentration camps and Russian pogroms, and many of Israel's residents hail from America.
However, radical fundamentalist Jews seem just as terrifyingly foam-at-the-mouth horrible as their Christian, Muslim, and Hindu counterparts. No one should have to suffer them at the helm of any government. I consider them terrorists because they miss the bigger picture of their own religion's ideals and they want to force religion-based regulation on society.
Well, it turns out that many Americans consider Israel their national bosom buddy. I see several reasons for this. I have already mentioned the family connection. Many millions of Jews live in the USA. So, there religious connection exists. And becomes even bigger considering that the world contains 2 billion Christians. Many, if not most consider themselves Jews because they follow and love Jesus of Nazareth as their father/brother, and they think Jesus was a Jew. That makes all Christians Jews too, in Christians' minds.
But not in Jews' minds, of course. When it boils down to religion itself, Jews could not care less whether Christians or any others embrace Judaism in their personal beliefs. In fact, most Jews seem to prefer that Christians and Muslims stay out of their religion because they lack the "blood" connection - they don't have Jewish mothers. In other words, in their minds one becomes a Jew not only through cultural and religious heritage, but also through blood lines - birth.
The question of "what is a Jew?" creates a real mess. Does Jew mean "any Semite?" Does it mean "Has a Jewish mother?". Does it mean "Reared in Jewish religious and cultural tradition?" Does it mean "Embraces Judaism as a religion?" Does it mean "Has Jewish relatives?" Does it include Christians just because they believe in Jesus who was a Jew? It confuses most people.
But Israelis feel delighted over that strange connection foreigners feel to their country. Why? It means the foreigners will support them politically and endorse their efforts to maintain hegemony over Muslims and Christians in the area of Palestine. And it means that at least some leaders in the USA will encourage US Government to help Israel defeat whatever enemies become a threat to Jewish hegemony in Israel.
By "leaders" I mean leaders like House Majority Whip and conservative Jew Eric Cantor. Cantor stands first in line to become House Speaker when Boehner retires. He has enormous power, so much that he introduced House Resolution 4133 and gleaned 304 co-sponsors.
Pesky Questions about HR 4133I could ask pesky questions like these about the bill:
- How could the US guarantee loans to Israel when the US already spends a trillion dollars more than it takes in every year?
- Why should the people of America support ANY openly religious government anywhere?
- Which governments in the Mideast actually threaten the USA militarily?
- Why does the US need Israel to further US defense efforts?
- How does 'common defense' in the PREAMBLE to the US Constitution constitute an enumerated power? (I see no such enumerated power INSIDE THE BODY of the Constitution)
- Why should the US give Israel a 'blank check' for maintaining a qualitative edge in its military power?
- Why should the US people presume that just because so many consider themselves Jews, the Jews of Israel have a corresponding sentiment toward the US?
- If Israel wants American support so much, why doesn't it petition the US Government for US statehood?
- Why does America owe the Christians, Muslims, and Jews of Israel the guarantee of a "Jewish" state there?
- What part of "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" don't Cantor and the cosponsors
of HR 4133 understand?
- What does "Jewish" mean, anyway?
Regardless of the common defense ideal, I have expressed serious misgivings about the bill in pesky questions 9 and 10 above. I expressed the core point in my letter to Rep. Eric Cantor this morning. You might have your own questions to express, here: http://cantor.house.gov/contact .
Message to Eric Cantor
I found one point in HR 4133 seriously objectionable: calling Israel a "Jewish" State. Some members of the Knesset are not Jewish. State government does not operate under any Jewish law. To my knowledge, the last Jewish government before 1948 was a monarchy. THAT would constitute "Jewish" government. By highlighting "Jewish" State, rather than "sovereign" or "independent" the law makes a mockery of the US Constitution Amendment One separation of church and state doctrine. I don't see that Jews have any more right to a national government than do Muslims, and the world has replete examples of the onerous nature of Islamic government.
You might recall from history that the diaspora of 70 AD came as a consequence of Zealots (Jewish Nationalists) raiding their own countrymen's homesteads. Vespasian's legions gave every city/town's leaders an opportunity to capitulate to Roman rule or die. The cream of the Jewish race expired during that campaign, and the streets of Jerusalem ran red with the blood of Jews as Zealots and their countrymen murdered one another before the Roman army crushed or crucified their remnants and made slaves of those who didn't scatter quickly enough. This is what happens to "religion" states. A similar destruction happened to Christian interlopers at the end of the Crusades. And we can see these days the bloody encounters between disparate fundamentalist Islamic groups - the Sunni and Shia, exemplified in all their glory by the Taliban and Al Quaeda and tribal leaders like Saddam Hussein.
Our lessons from history reveal that NO state's people should suffer rule by a religious sect. I would loathe rule by fundamentalist Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus... you name it. And I do not endorse military support to any government run by a religious sect. Nor should you.
If you get a chance, I encourage you to correct that one glaring fault in HR 4133.

Thoughts on Breathing
- Breathing really helps me get centered and it relieves stress from my life, so when I feel like I have a million things that are discombobulated in my head, just taking a step back, working on my breathing, being present. This really relieves so much stress from my life and as a fitness guy I'm going to say that it will help decrease your cortical levels. You wanna keep your cortical down so having some type of stress relief practice in your life can really help with that and breathing is just one of those things.

If your stressed out at work just take a couple minutes every single day to get up and move around, take some deep breaths and you can build on things. If your starting with meditation, you might start with a simple hundred count breathing exercise and then expand on that as you become more comfortable with it but simply it at first. Build small incremental habits one step at a time and over the long haul you will see a ton of results.
