TRENTON – A bill, which would allow companies that provide paid internships to qualified interns to claim a tax credit, was approved by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee Tuesday by a vote of 9-2.
"Internship programs are invaluable, not only for providing students with real-world experience in their chosen field, but also in connecting employers with potential new hires," said Senator Joseph Vitale, D-Middlesex. "However, as a result of the global economic crisis and increased job market competition, many businesses are relying more and more on unpaid intern positions, which put middle class students and people who have to support themselves through school at a disadvantage. Through this legislation, we're creating a tax incentive to encourage businesses to establish internship programs which benefit the greatest number of students possible."
The bill, S-2373, would allow a company to claim a corporate business tax (CBT) credit or gross income tax (GIT) credit for certain wages paid to qualified interns in tax year 2012 and 2013. Under the bill, a qualified intern would be defined as an individual enrolled and in good standing at a New Jersey four-year institution of higher education, a New Jersey county college, or a New Jersey accredited post secondary business, technical, trade or vocational school, who is employed and supervised in a position that provides training and experience in their chose field of study. To be eligible for tax credits, businesses must pay qualified interns at least $8.00 an hour, and the term of internship must last at least 12 weeks and include a minimum of 14 hours of service per week.
The bill would provide that businesses could claim a credit of 40 percent of the compensation paid to qualified interns, or $600 of that compensation per year, whichever is less. Under the bill, a corporate taxpayer which employees three or more qualified interns in a tax year would receive a $75 bonus per intern. The bill would limit the combined credits under both the CBT and GIT to 5,250 qualified interns or 700 participating businesses annually, whichever threshold is triggered first.
The bill is modeled after a recently enacted program known as the Philadelphia Internship Tax Credit Program, and is intended to incentivize businesses in New Jersey to establish paid internship programs, rather than unpaid internships. If the program is maxed out, it would cost the state, at most, a little more than $3.5 million a year.
"This bill would allow New Jersey's future workforce to receive the training and skills it needs to be competitive, without opening up students to exploitation by employers who are only looking for free labor," said Vitale. "Paid internships give students an opportunity to earn a paycheck and important professional experience, and allow employers to supplement their workforce and groom potential new hires. These programs can be immensely valuable to both sides, and hopefully, by providing tax incentives to employers, we can encourage more paid internships in the Garden State."
The bill now heads to the full Senate for consideration.

iOS 10 was released more than 3 months ago, and most people expected a jailbreak to be released by now. Apple did promise to make things harder for jailbreakers and, until now, it seemed as they had finally won the war. However, thanks to Luca Todesco, we now have a new jailbreak utility called Yalu Jailbreak. Before you download it though, you really need to be aware of the following information about Yalu Jailbreak .
Image : Yalu IPA File Download
- Yalu is only a beta jailbreak and will almost certainly be buggy and unstable. If you can wait, if you really don't need to jailbreak right now, Luca Todesco has advised us to wait until an update is available for it
- This is not a simple jailbreak to install; instead of just installing it directly onto your iPhone or iPad, you must side-load the .ipa file using another tool called Cydia Impactor
- Yalu is a semi-untethered jailbreak and, for those not familiar with this, it means that, whenever your device is rebooted, you must reactivate the rejailbreak again
What is an .ipa File ?
A file that has the extension .ipa is an app file for the Apple operating system. You could think of it as being similar to a ZIP file, a kind of container that holds all the pieces of data that go together to make up an app for the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. These can be any kind of app, such as a game, a social networking app, a utility app or, something that is becoming more common, a jailbreak app. No matter what type of app it is though, the structure of the .ipa file is the same. It contains a PNG or JPEG file for the icon, a Payload file that holds the data for the app and a .plist file that holds the information about the application and the developer of it.
Image : Yalu Jailbreak
When an app is downloaded through iTunes, the .ipa file is stored on your computer and this is why, to download Yalu Jailbreak, you need a valid Apple ID. Because the jailbreak cannot be downloaded via iTunes, the certificate for it must be signed in another way and Cydia Impactor does this by using your Apple ID. To download the Yalu jailbreak .ipa, check out the links below.
Download Yalu .ipa File :
- Yalu Jailbreak Beta 4 v 1.0 [ ipa ] – iOS 10 Supported
- Yalu Jailbreak Beta 7 v 1.0.2 [ ipa ] – iOS 10.3.3 Supported
- Yalu Jailbreak Beta 11 [ ipa ] – iOS 11 Supported

Sightseeing will also include driving past the Lodhi Garden, Safdarjung's tomb, the elegant government buildings designed in a blend of Indian and European styles - the India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Presidential Palace.
Check out from your hotel after breakfast and transfer to the airport to board your flight.

Afternoon: Explore India's most sacred city for Hindu's, which is the oldest living city in the world. During the visit to the Old city you will share space with Cows, Scooters etc. and walk through the narrow alleys where every street corner has a roadside shrine or temple and vendors selling garlands, incense sticks and other items used in worship.
Evening: Enjoy a boat ride on the river Ganges to witness Oil lamp Aarti (prayer) performed by the priest on the banks of the river.
Early morning: The best way to experience the life in Varanasi is to tour the Ganges in a country boat at sunrise as early morning life in this city revolves around the Ghats (Riverfront). You will see Pilgrims, yogis and mystics flock to the ghats, to take a cleansing dip in India's holiest river, practice yoga, meditate, or washing clothes and vessels. Return to your hotel after the tour to relax & pack.

After breakfast, proceed on the drive to Jhansi en route visit the medieval city of Orchha with exquisite palaces and cenotaphs. Built by an 11th-century king of the Bundela dynasty, Orchha is now a ghost city containing the remains of what must have been once spectacular, beautiful monuments, and which combine Hindu and Muslim architectural traditions.
After the tour, drive to Jhansi railway station to board the express train to Agra.
Arrive Agra in the late evening and transfer to your hotel.
After breakfast, visit the fabled Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal was built in the year 1652 AD by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his beloved queen, Mumtaz Mahal. It took 22,000 skilled artisans 22 years to create this spectacular white marble mausoleum.
From here drive to Agra Fort, it's Mughal Emperor Akbar's built first red sandstone fort of North India in the year 1565.

On the way, stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the deserted city. This one of the world's most perfect ghost cities and a marvel of design and construction. It was conceived and built by Emperor Akbar, one of the most enlightened rulers of his time. Built in 1571, it is a synthesis of the flourishing styles of the Persian courts and the prevailing Hindu Islamic trends. Today its pristine red sandstone buildings are as perfect as when they were first chiselled. The masterpiece of this remarkable monument is the Jewel House of the Diwan I Khas. Architecturally extraordinary, the four doorways lead into a single storey room where a huge central pillar carved to baroque richness, supports a seat reached by mid-air walkways. After the tour, continue your journey to Ranthambore.
Arrive Ranthambore in the evening and Check into your hotel.
Ranthambore National Park covers 410 sq. kms along the easternmost spur of the Aravali to the Vindhya ranges.

The dry deciduous forest covers open valleys with lush vegetation around the lakes, and open grasslands in the higher slopes. This varied flora supports a large number of animals including a variety of deer, the sloth bear, the shy caracal, leopards and of course, the tiger. The best tiger sightings have reported from this park.

Traveling solo comes with a lot of upsides. There's the freedom of doing exactly what you want at any time, the ease of finding a place to crash since one body takes up very little space, and, in the case of van travel, the fact that you have the whole bed to yourself, which is significantly more comfortable than sharing in such a cramped space.
I've seen about 7.2 million articles and blog posts praising and encouraging the solo wanderer, and I absolutely agree that it's something every traveler should at least try, but I'm not here to talk about the positives of going through the world alone. Not today, because I have been stuck on expelling this dark, sticky, ugly part of traveling from my head and into words since about three months into my time in New Zealand – and the way this nastiness affected my life has been a big reason that I haven't been able to write about anything with grace or flow since my last post.
Depression as a solo traveler is rarely blogged about (and you certainly won't see it on Instagram or Facebook), but I know it exists, because for the last 12 months living a transient lifestyle, it has been my only constant companion.
There's nothing pretty or inspiring about depression – for every day I spent in some of the most beautiful places in the world, I had two or three days of struggling to convince myself to do something as basic and fundamental as getting up to brush my teeth.
Those aren't the days that you want to show. Those aren't the days that make you feel like you're really taking life by the balls. But with depression, they are inevitable.
During the worst times, the only thing I consumed in a day was a(n entire) bottle of wine (or box wine aka goon – $20 for the equivalent of 4 bottles, thanks New Zealand!), and as much Netflix as I could afford to watch on the extremely expensive campground wifi. I would view my situation from the outside and wonder how it was that I could be living such a crazy awesome adventure, and still not find the motivation to get out of my nest of a van. That's the thing about depression, it doesn't make a lick of sense, even to those in itss terrible, terrible embrace.
Luckily, the worst times were few and far between, but even when depression eases up, or amazingly takes a break long enough to go on a three day hike and enjoy every minute of it, there's that niggling knowledge that it's always just there, looming over my shoulder, searching for a weak moment to extort and exacerbate.
BUT (yay there's a but)
I never for a minute let the fact that I was dealing with this clingy, incessant shadow convince me that it wasn't worth continuing to try. Sure, when it's day 3 of feeling worthless, of not showering or even leaving the van except to pee, and I've read two entire books that weren't even particularly good, it might feel like it would be easier to just sell the van and buy a ticket home. But then what? I'm not saying that isn't the right move for some people, especially if you are feeling suicidal or are a legitimate danger to yourself, but for me, I wasn't at that point, I couldn't let the depression win, and I definitely didn't believe going home would affect its omnipresence.
So I analyzed my situation time and again, working toward bringing myself back to feeling unburdened, pushing away the heaviness that enveloped my limbs and mind, and coming back to myself again. At this point, after years of just dealing until it resolves itself, I've discovered a decent strategy to expedite my recovery process. Not sure if it can help anybody else, but I hope someone else will find it useful.
I allow myself to feel/be depressed
Instead of being frustrated or ashamed that I feel awful and useless, which was my reaction for a very long time, I've learned that I have to accept it, let it happen, and do my best to care for myself emotionally. There's nothing more counterproductive than getting upset that I'm upset.
Like yeah that makes sense, just send yourself into a shame spiral, Kayleigh. That should fix everything.
I set a time limit
This can be difficult, because if I don't stick to my planned "depression allowance," I still have to follow rule number 1. But, I found that if I allow for 2-3 days (depending on depth of depression, weather, life circumstances, etc) of not forcing myself to do anything at all, it's almost like I can recover the emotional strength it takes to begin pushing the shadow away.
I look for inspiration, and plan something I love
Particularly aimed at travelers or people who live in more outdoorsy places, there's nothing better for my state of mind than getting outdoors in an active way, such as exploring someplace beautiful, going climbing, or running along the ocean. At some point during my self-allowed hiatus from life, I look to adventure sites or Instagrams to find someplace to go for an activity that I know regularly gets me out of my head and into the world again. Anything that has successfully beaten back that dickbag depression in the past is fair game. I mark it mentally and use it as an option when he's setting up camp again. Just the thought of a trip or activity on the horizon is sometimes enough to get my determination back.
(My favorite go to adventures are climbing, hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking, and running.)
I follow through, even if I have to push plans back
Easily the most difficult part of my strategy, it's also the most crucial. Getting out and actually following through on the hike, or climbing trip, or whatever else, is about 75% of the battle. Not easy, because the longer I am a blob of hopelessness, the less willpower I have to move my body, but after even just an hour into my chosen activity, everything begins to make sense again, and I can feel life returning in a wildly refreshing way.
I'm currently in an upswing – riding a pretty awesome wave of happiness after three weeks in Colorado, which has made it easier to write about my experience in a more detached, objective way. I'd like to continue writing, even if I'm the only one who reads it, so I'll post an update on my life and what my next move is (because I'm not done traveling) later this week.
Nothing I've said here should be considered a 100% cure for depression, and I'm definitely not saying that anything I'm doing should replace an anti-depressant or therapy (though I am not utilizing either at this time). I just want to share my experience with people so they know that it is possible to have enjoyment and feel like you're living your life while battling depression.
If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, self harm, eating issues, or anything else, and need someone to talk to, please feel free to message me. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL (clearly), and I urge you to talk to one for definitive help, but I understand that even just having someone who cares and will listen is extremely comforting and helpful.
"You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That's how I've done it. There's no other way."
~Elizabeth Taylor

Janssen finds itself in hot water over Xarelto ad
FDA advertising watchdogs have taken issue with a Janssen advertisement promtoting the blood thinner Xarelto. The agency's Office of Prescription Drug Promotion issued a June 6 untitled letter to outline the reasons for its displeasure with an ad that the drug maker ran in the January/February issue of WebMD Magazine.
The bad-ad team says the ad's use of bold-face type and colorful text is employed in such a way that it effectively minimizes the drug's risks, particularly because the facing page outlining the risk lacks the colorful text and boldfaced styling, making the two pages appear "unconnected to the efficacy claims."
The letter also noted that the overall presentation of the ad "misleadingly minimizes the risks associated with Xarelto because it fails to convey this important risk information with a prominence and readability reasonably comparable to the efficacy claims."
The advertisement does boldface the phrase, "Please see accompanying Medication Guide on the following pages," but OPDP says this is not sufficient.
OPDP said the ad also makes a misleading claim, asserting that "there are no dosage adjustments..." This conflicts with the PI's statement that dosage should be lowered for certain patients, OPDP wrote.Online, Xarelto was the most widely advertised brand in 2012, according to Kantar Health. The drug is approved for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The FDA has twice rejected an application to expand the approved uses of the drug to include stroke and heart attack reduction among patients with acute coronary syndrome.

I don't often leave full reviews, but this one I felt was important. It's not an easy one to find (I got my copy from the author directly), but worth the effort.
Being honest, if I were rating this book from a technical perspective, it would not be quite as high. The frequent repetitions of details and stories, which could have been cleaned up with edits, do sometimes take away the OOMPH of the point, but at the same time, it's exactly those imperfections that lend a deep authenticity to Alice's story and give a solid emotional punch.
And emotion is where the 5* comes in. I was in my first year of university whem I learned that the residential schools in Canada existed. 18 years old! After 6 years of high school Canadian history classes, I was appalled that such an important part of our past had been left out.
So when I met Alice at a book event this summer and she told me this book is her personal story of her time at a residential school, I had to pick it up. She is a lovely woman with so much joy and warmth in her heart, which is all the more incredible when you read what she and the other Indigenous children of that 120-year time span had to endure for the sake of "being civilized"
It's not a subject you see often as told by the people who lived it, so Alice's courage and honesty is that much more remarkable, and I feel an important story for anyone to read who wants an insight into the lives so many of us never new existed.
If you know of any other such histories that you've read and think worth sharing, please send me a recommendation!

This sex toy is made from two separate types of plastic - there's a soft, velvety smooth plastic on the bullet itself and there's the shiny, slick plastic of the remote. The velvety plastic of the bullet does provide a slight bit of drag and makes it easier to hold the bullet if lubrication is involved. The slick plastic of the remote would be much more difficult to hold if lubricated. Looking closely at the body of the remote, there are also some very light scratches all over it - presumably from the factory production.
Plastic is known for being a very cheap, but body-safe, sex toy material. It is non-porous which means it can be shared with partners. It's also very unforgiving. Plastic is very hard and does not have any sort of padding on it at all. Since this is a clitoral vibrator, that should not be a problem. This toy will not give way at all when pressure it applied to it. Plastic can also come in different variations as can be seen by the two different textures of plastic in this one toy. The plastic of this toy has no smell or taste - it's very basic.
This bullet also has no texture to it. While the plastic does include slight drag on the bullet, there isn't any designs or anything special about the plastic. However, there is a pretty obvious seam running through the body of the toy which may prove irritating to those who are extremely sensitive. This seam can be felt during use, but it isn't scratchy. Since bullets rarely have textures, I'd say that the texture makes this neutral as to whether it's best for beginners or advanced users.
This bullet is manufactured by NMC and comes in purple, green, and pink. The remote and the bullet are two separate pieces (with the bullet plugging into the remote), but it doesn't seem like either the bullet or the remote would work with other toys. It is extremely easy to plug the bullet into the remote and makes it easier for storage since the cord won't get as tangled.
The bullet is two inches in height while the remote is four in height. The bullet is not a traditional-sized bullet but instead is an egg bullet which is much bigger and much fatter. The cord (which is connected to the bullet but plugs into the remote) is about three feet long which makes is great for personal use and while you would have to stay close, makes it an option for couple's use. The bullet was not designed for insertion, but since it is larger than the traditional bullet, it seems to have been designed for better clitoral and erogenous zone stimulation.
The remote control was designed with ergonomics in mind. On the left side of the controller, there are slight grooves where the fingers are intended to rest. These grooves work best if you are holding the remote with the right hand but don't feel horrible if it is held with the left either. The remote does feel very comfortable in your hand, and the grooves make it easier to grasp in case that hand is lubricated. Along with the ergonomics of the remote, the remote was also designed with a small LED light of varying strengths. When the bullet is off, the light is off. When the bullet is on "low", the blue LED light glows softly. When the bullet is on "high", the blue LED light glows much more strongly. If this toy is used for play with a partner, this feature will end up being very useful.
This toy, while not discreet, also does appear like a tasteful sex toy. However, if any people see it, it will be obvious what the toy is for. If the toy is stored in two pieces in two separate places, it does become a lot harder to guess.
This bullet vibrator requires two AA batteries for use. They are not included. The back of the remote has a slipcover which easily slides off to reveal the battery compartment. Unlike other vibrators, this battery cover does not come off and is attached to the remote through a hinge. The two batteries are easy to insert since there is a small diagram showing which way the batteries go inside of the compartment. The batteries are extremely easy to take out and remove since they don't snap in in any way and are very close to the surface when inserted.
This bullet includes two separate speed settings. It does not include any patterns or pulsations. The vibration speeds are controlled by the remote by a switch on the side which is extremely easy to switch no matter if you are holding the controller with the right hand or the left. Unless the bullet is plugged into the remote, neither piece will function on its own. The switch is extremely easy to flip to different settings but doesn't switch itself. In fact, the easiest way to accidentally change the vibration speeds seem to be if you get caught up in passion and your finger slips to push the controller stronger.
The two vibration settings are strong. The vibrations on this toy are not buzzy like expected, but instead, do provide good, deep vibrations. The vibrations, while they don't get any stronger, do not get weaker when pressure is applied. The vibrations are a lot more than I expected out of a bullet with two AA batteries. This could easily get most women to orgasm, and in fact, I'd guess that most women will probably not take this out of the low setting - it's definitely deep and strong. As a side effect to these strong vibrations, this toy is not discreet. It could definitely be heard through a door if someone was attempting to listen in. It's not as loud as a cranking, rotating rabbit vibrator, but it still is about 3/4 as loud as that.
As a side effect of the strong vibrations, though, this bullet is pretty difficult to control. With my hands lubricated, it was near impossible to grasp. With my hands completely dry, it was still nearly impossible. When you do grasp the bullet, it can turn your hands numb easily within a half a minute. For this reason, it's very hard to apply pressure or do any sort of movement with the bullet. I think most women would find that nestling it between the vaginal lips would be the easiest way to control it, but even then, I think it would slip away with lubrication. The cord can be grasped to control the bullet, but that doesn't give good pinpoint stimulation nor make it easy to enjoy.
This vibrator is not splashproof nor waterproof. The battery compartment has quite a few holes in it, and the top of the remote has the uncovered jack where the bullet plugs in. For this reason, I recommend avoiding getting the remote dirty or lubricated if it can be avoided.
The Egg Ecstasy is made from plastic which makes it a relatively safe toy. It also makes it easy to clean. It can be wiped down with warm water and antibacterial soap for regular cleaning. This toy can also be sterilized for use with multiple partners - it would just take a bleach and water solution to sterilize this sex toy. However, be careful with cleaning with this one. The remote has tons of holes, so if you splash running water on it, you could destroy it. I recommend using a damp washcloth to wipe down the controller and avoid getting any lubricant on it.
Since this toy is made from plastic, it is safe for use with water-based, silicone-based, and oil-based lubricant. I do not recommend oil-based lubricant for use however.
This toy does not pick up any sort of lint or fuzzies, so it can be stored wherever is more convenient. The packaging can be a bit difficult to use for storage, but there are always options like a toy storage box or a toy pouch.
This toy is extremely low maintenance, will easily store whereever you'd like, and is easy to clean and share.
The Egg Ecstasy comes packaged in regular blister pack packaging. The packaging is see-through and allows you to see the toy both from the back and from the front. It is tasteful with a large amount of orange and purple colors, but no half-naked women. The backside serves as the information about the product while the front side states: "velvet touch coated bullet", "ergonomically designed hand control unit", "2"", "Just Relish the Powerful Feel".
The backside of the packaging also serves as this product's instruction guide. There is a picture showing how to install the batteries and turn on the toy. It also shows the vibrator's different color choices. Along with that, it gives the regular caution about how this toy is for novelty use only. This toy should be recycled and shouldn't be disposed of in the garbage. There is also an instruction guide included with the toy, but those instructions seem to be general of all NMC products - not just this bullet.
This product also comes with a reusable twisty-tie that makes it easy to tie up the bullet's cable.
This packaging doesn't look romantic, so if gift-giving is in this toy's future, you should repackage the toy. This packaging could be used for storage of the toy, but it is a bit hard to get the bullet's cord back into the original spot, so using this as storage for the bullet could prove more annoying than useful.
I was pleasantly surprised by this bullet. For the price, these are some strong vibrations. Not buzzy either. Nice and deep how I like it. In fact, I really would guess that some people will find these vibrations too strong.
I still haven't managed to use this successfully though. I just can't find a way to grip this bullet that makes it usable for me. It's unfortunate since the vibrations easily seem strong enough. It's like a curse to the poor bullet. The easiest way seems to be to use your palm and press it against your body, but I have a serious aversion to bodily fluids or lubricant (or just messes in general), so that won't work for me. For those that aren't such a pansy, it would work.

I had a very interesting discussion with Sue Lie a few days ago in which three notions came up and I almost … for a male … got out of my logical brain for a moment and had a glimpse of a new realm.
They almost had me see that this world we live in as an illusion, a game, a trick of the mind. And by the way almost everything they said about it I could have said about a vasana, which they said had many of the same characteristics.
We've become addicted to the illusion.
But I have to add one more dimension that also almost became clear to me. I understood that everything is an illusion – not just this dimension but all dimensions – and that we're just living in one illusion among many.
Perhaps imagine yourself turning the radio dial, hitting one radio station after another. Imagine the sound of them coming in, being there for a moment as you continue to turn the dial, and then trailing off.
All these radio stations are different illusions or dimensions that we dial into. Dialing changes the frequency.
The Arcturians, for it was they who were speaking from time to time, Sue speaking for the rest, called us the "Away Team," higher-dimensional beings in a human body. And they encouraged me (as one of the Away Team) to surrender my human consciousness and expand into planetary consciousness, which I almost felt I could do, so as to loosen the addiction.
They advised me to watch every thought and feeling and unconditionally love any that was not of love. This would have been akin, to my mind, of fine-tuning the dial to get the radio station as clearly as possible.
And they suggested that I begin to observe my addictions in and to this life.
What they're doing, Sue said, is developing an alchemy that will assist us with Ascension. I'm going to let Sue develop the rest because this is her field, which she does well, and not my field.
As you know, ours is the first Ascension in this universe of the current round of Ascensions. It's the first time that a planet has ascended intact and her inhabitants have ascended with their physical bodies. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that some of the tools needed – or even new and better tools – might still be under development, should it? Not to me anyways.
But why I write this, and I write it in the uplifted space I feel after Stephen's Lift Your Spirits show, is that I'm beginning to sense that there is a dehypnotizing process going on, an unhooking from the matrix, a realization that our addiction to the Third Dimension is no different than a drunk's addiction to the bottle. Perhaps not a delicate way of putting it. But hopefully apt.
One seldom gives up an addiction without having something better to go to and that something else, I'm beginning to see, is love.
In a sense, I prefer love to the rewards of the addiction and I won't be surprised at all to find that love is the alchemical agent. But for more on that, we're going to have to wait for Sue to write her next book or article.
But I have just the faintest glimmer that this illusion seems real to me because I'm addicted to it. Third Dimensionality is as much an addiction as smoking or drinking. And I have to find a way of letting it go just as I let go of any other addiction.
And the very first step I take in that is recognizing and acknowledging it as an addiction.

|Demonstration of Rasch methodology
Rasch measurement converts dichotomous and rating scale observations
into linear measures. It links qualitative analysis to quantitative methods.
Rasch scaling is often classified under item response theory, IRT, or logit-linear models. Rasch specifies how persons, probes, prompts, raters, test items, tasks, etc. must interact statistically through probabilistic measurement models for linear measures to be constructed from ordinal observations. Rasch analysis requires the investigation and quantification of accuracy, precision, reliability, construct validity, quality-control fit statistics, statistical information, linearity, local dependency and unidimensionality. Rasch implements stochastic Guttman ordering, conjoint additivity, Campbell concatenation, sufficiency and infinite divisibility.

TransGriot Nominated Again For A 2017 Outstanding Blog GLAAD Media Award!
Time to do a little popping of my collar. It's the second time TransGriot has been nominated for ta GLAAD Outstanding Blog award, with my first nomination for it being back in 2014.
In case you're wondering, the other blogs nominated in this category besides TransGriot are Alvin McEwen's Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters, I'm Still Josh, Mombian, and My Fabulous Disease
Congratulations to all the nominees in this category. I've gotten to meet many of the nominees at various TBLGQ community events over the years like the upcoming LGBT Media Convening in Orlando. We bloggers are committed to doing the research and hard work to ensure that you readers have quality, informative blogs for you to peruse, enjoy, and get you to think about issues that affect our community and the world.
During the recent Creating Change in Philadelphia, I ran into one #CC17 attendee who told me she's been reading my blog since she was 11 years old, and ran into others who have thanked me for doing what I do to keep you informed not only about my trans community, but the world at large.
We'll see it this is the year I finally get that elusive for me Outstanding Blog award and make a little history at the same time.

Arctic warms ? Iceland market cools down ?
Baugur CEO faces further charges
In October 2005, Iceland's supreme court dismissed 32 of 40 charges levelled against Mr Jon Asgeir Johannesson CEO of Baugur and five co- defendants. Eight charges relating to book-keeping irregularities and customs violations were referred to a Reykjavik district court which acquitted Mr Johannesson in March 2006.
The prosecutor has now resubmitted 19 charges of the 32 dismissed charges. They include the use of funds in relation to the purchase of a yacht in Florida; the acquisition of the Icelandic 10/11 convenience store chain; loans between Baugur and Mr Johannesson's Gaumur investment firm; and the sale of shares to Kaupthing, the Icelandic bank.
The Icelandic special prosecutor has resubmitted some fraud charges against Jon Asgeir Johannesson, and also unexpectedly , Jon Gerald Sullenberger, a former supplier to Baugur whose evidence formed the basis of the original investigation against Mr Johannesson, (some sordid problem about a Invoice for US$19.000 for escort girls in Miami run up by Jon Asgeir) and was included in the charges. Triggvi Jonsson, Baugur's former chief financial officer, also faces charges.
All charges against Mr Johannesson's sister and father and two executives from KPMG, Baugur's auditors, have now been dropped.
Bauger controls Hamleys the London Toy retailer, it has had stakes of varying size in the UK supermarket chain Iceland, together with stakes in other British retailers such as ,Booker wholesaler, Woodward foodservice, Goldsmiths jewellery chain and Mappin & Webb retailer of luxury watches and fine jewellery, the fashion chains MK One and Jane Norman, the health products chain Julian Graves, LxB II a property development company, The Shoe Studio Group and Mosaic Fashions Ltd. which owns and operates the Oasis stores, Karen Millen, Coast and Whistles.
Baugur Group is also the largest shareholder of Magasin du Nord, the famous, Danish department store chain.
Baugur is said to control 45% of food sales and 30% of clothing sales in Iceland and has been blamed for pushing prices up, the company website claims they employ 62,000 people worldwide in over 3.500 stores.
FL Group sell out 16.7% Easyjet holding
In January Easyjet ( 41% owned by the founder Haji-Ioannou (now Non Exec. Director) and his family) appointed Goldman Sachs as advisers when LP Group with a (then ) 16.7% stake,were said to be mounting a bid the shares peaked at the time at 411p.
Yesterday (4/4/06) J.P.Morgan (with in house boker JPMorganCazenove) were said to be offering the LP holding at between 340p and 343p (when the market price was 356.5p), with the stated intention of raising their stake in Finnair (FL has has announced it has raised its stake in Finnair to 10.3 %) - this at the time the Icex fell 4.7%.The sale of this holding bought in October 2004, (topped up with 4 Mn shares in Oct 2005) have yielded a profit to LP Group of 140 Mn Euros on sale value of 325 Mn Euros a return of 70%. Fl Group also own Icelandair who have today just announced an order for 2 more Boeing 787 Dreamliners for delivery 2012 2 years after their original order for 2 will be delivered... for developing longer range world routes.
FL Group (ICEX: FL) also has significant holdings in FL Group has made significant investments in a number of companies, including Bang& Olufsen (10.5%) and Royal Unibrew (17%) in Denmark, Aktiv Kapital (10%) in Norway, Finnair (10%) in Finland and Glitnir (16%) in Iceland.
Largest shareholders of FL Group are Eignarhaldsfelagid Oddaflug ehf.
(18.9%), owned by Hannes Smarason, CEO, Baugur Group (18.3%), Icon (7.3%) and
Materia Invest (6.6%)
Well, Easyjet plunged 31p today, closing at 327p a fall of 8.7%.
US pulls Defence Forces out of Iceland
In a little noticed move, Geir Haarde the Icelandic Foreign Minister told the Althingi (the Icelandic Parliament), on March 16th 2006 that president Bush had made the final decision to end the permanent deployment of US forces in Iceland based on the recommendation of the US secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld. It is expected that all forces will be withdrawn from the Keflavik base by September 2006.
Icelandic employees (approx 600) have been informed that they would all be dismissed by October 1st.

I first became interested in genealogy when I was 14. (Has it really been over 20 years now?) My history teacher gave us some weird homework one night.
We were supposed to call our grandparents and find out what their grandparents did for a living. I don't know why she gave us this assignment,
but I was told some wonderful stories by my older relatives, and the seed of a life long desire for information was planted. When I was 16,
I fell ill with rheumatic fever and was confined to the bed for many weeks. To keep my mind active, two of my great-aunts, Mrs. Dave
(Lola Belle) McCormick and Mrs. Arva (Lurlene) McCormick, gave me the job of writing down these stories and others I was to learn through
correspondence. This page is the result of that beginning and several years of research, cemetery visits, correspondence, and leg work.
I've met some incredible people in my search for my past. I want to thank them all for the information but most of all for the friendship.
So, buckle your seat belts, get some popcorn and a drink, and let's journey through the past together.

Banks and credits unions are at each other's throats just a week after working the halls of Congress shoulder to shoulder in an effort to stymie a plan to change how financial institutions reserve for loan losses.
The longtime adversaries are revisiting an historically divisive issue: credit unions' field of membership. Monday was the deadline for a 60-day comment period tied to the National Credit Union Administration's proposed overhaul of field-of-membership rules.
An NCUA spokesman said Tuesday that the agency has received more than 10,500 comment letters, including thousands from bankers and bank lobbyists who offered scathing rebukes of the proposal. The final tally, which more than tripled the NCUA's record for comment letters, might climb higher since the agency is accepting late-arriving letters postmarked by Feb. 8.
Bankers, in sum, argued that the proposed revision, which was unveiled in mid-November, pushes well beyond limits on credit union membership embedded in the Credit Union Membership Access Act. Enacted in 1998, the law limits fields of membership for community charter credit unions to "well defined local community, neighborhood or rural district."
In its current form, the NCUA's proposal continues to limit community charter credit unions' fields of membership to 2.5 million people, but it removes several geographic restrictions, including a provision that constrains credit unions' ability to use core-based statistical areas to define their fields of membership.
Institutions are currently barred from citing core-based statistical areas with more than 2.5 million people. Under the revised rules, community charter credit unions will be allowed to use any "well-defined" portion to define a field of membership, as long as the population doesn't exceed 2.5 million.
The NCUA's field-of-membership overhaul also quadruples the population threshold for rural districts, to a million people, and permits community charter credit unions to cite entire congressional districts as a field of membership.
James Chessen, chief economist at the American Bankers Association, claimed in his comment letter that the changes "would effectively render the concept of a common bond among credit union members meaningless."
"From quadrupling population thresholds to reimagining definitions of plain language statutory terms, this proposal would eviscerate many major limitations placed on credit union field of membership expansion," Chessen wrote.
Some of the comment letters went beyond addressing the NCUA.
Fifty state banking associations directed a letter to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, arguing that the proposed changes "should call into question" whether credit unions still deserve their exemption from federal income taxes.
Christopher Cole, senior regulatory counsel at the Independent Community Bankers of America, made a similar point in his comment letter. "This proposal is another example of the NCUA attempting to inappropriately and illegally extend the industry's government-subsidized competitive advantage and shows how captive the agency really is to the industry it regulates," he wrote.
"If credit unions want to eliminate the common bond requirement and operate like banks, they should be taxed like them and required to meet the same set of regulatory standards," Cole added. "They can't have it both ways."
Bankers have claimed the credit union industry's tax exemption costs the federal government nearly $27 billion annually, but advocates for credit unions counter that their industry uses the exemption to provide credit union members with financial benefits worth more than $10 billion.
Credit union supporters also point out that Credit Union Membership Access Act empowers the NCUA to set a definition of a "well-defined local community," while contending that the federal charter badly needs an overhaul to remain competitive with state credit union charters.
"The federal charter is falling behind many state charters and thus has become a barrier to the flexibility needed to operate dynamic and efficient cooperative financial institutions," Jim Nussle, president and chief executive of the Credit Union National Association, wrote in his comment letter.
Federal credit unions need changes that go beyond those in the current proposal, Dan Berger, president and chief executive of the National Association of Federal Credit Unions, said in a Friday statement, adding that the NCUA's proposal "is a good first step toward modernization."
The NAFCU wants the 2.5-million-person population threshold increased.
Community bankers see expanded fields of membership as a big competitive threat.
David Lacy, president and CEO of the $402 million-asset Community Bank and Trust in Waco, Texas, wrote in his letter that credit unions in his market are offering loans at 1.9%, which is "beyond what a taxpaying entity can offer."
Scott Beuning, a commercial lending officer at the $740 million-asset United Bankers' Bank in Bloomington, Minn., wrote in his letter that the proposal amounted to little more than a lengthy list of ways for most credit unions to circumvent field-of-membership requirements, resulting in a "broad expansion of the credit union industry's tax subsidy."
Banks have been railing against expanded fields of membership for decades.
In 1998 they successfully argued their point before the Supreme Court, which issued a decision barring credit unions from serving unrelated employer groups. But later that year Congress blunted the impact of the court's ruling, with the Credit Union Membership Access Act allowing credit unions to serve "multiple common bonds."

For directions to the library, visit http://www.taplpa.info/?page-directionsBackground:
PV is a rare illness that causes the body to make too many red blood cells. In 2008, an ATSDR investigation identified a cluster of PV cases in Eastern Pennsylvania. In 2009, ATSDR received funds to continue the PV investigation.
ATSDR is conducting 14 research projects and 4 non-research projects. The Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and various universities and private organizations are working with ATSDR on these PV related projects.
The projects are based on the recommendations of an expert panel that identified four areas for investigation: epidemiology, genetics, toxicology and environmental analysis. Some of the research projects are evaluating risk factors associated with the development of PV, essential thrombocytosis (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in the tri-county area. Fieldwork for the projects is expected to be completed this fall. Research findings and reports will be presented at future public meetings as data review and analysis are completed.

Forum Post: The Market - Noam Chomsky

It's well known among economists that markets are inefficient." Chomsky.
"Externalities," which are the affects one economic decision has on other economic situations, (or people) are not considered. So, here you have it. For example, an employer extracts profits by paying an extremely low wage to make a lot of money for it's own corporation in the very short term, because that is all that matters to it, but, this causes systemic suffering as the economic system as a whole pays the price when people's wages are so low that they do not have enough money to survive, let alone spend.
Markets are inefficient because all they care about is the extraction of profit and that does not create a healthy environment for human beings.
The economy is dominated by exploitative private tyrannies becoming wealthier and more powerful every day. Capitalism is undemocratic, unjust, unsustainable and immoral; its intolerable.
Amen, sff.
"A corporation is just a tyrannical system. One of the most tyrannical systems that humans have ever devised yet they've been given extraordinary rights by the courts.....They're basically unaccountable to the public....." Chomsky.
Gas is down to 3.09 here. Down from about 3.60 a month or two ago.
I joked with the gas guy that it must mean that people are driving 15% less since August, or predicted to be driving 15% less in February.
He laughed, and said "No, its just them screwing everyone as usual".
If all our houses were ran off of hydro, solar and/or geo, this problem would go right away.
So would our electric bills.
So would our gas bills.
The quantitative easing of the 2007-2012 years would have put a solar unit valued at 35k on every home in the entire nation. The last year we are at almost a Trillion already, prob enough to cover a lot of retail and light commercial.
What a racket we are in.
Exactly. Excellent examples. And, here is a great clip from Dylan Ratigan's show with author Harriet Washington on the extraction of profits by pharmaceutical companies. They talk about how instead of curing African sleeping sickness, big pharma prefers to use that drug for a woman's facial cream for much bigger profits. This is a must see video.
I tried to find that link the other day when you posted about Ratigan but I couldn't find it. It used to be easy to find but not anymore. I finally found it today and am so happy because I've never forgotten it. Every American should watch that clip.
Chomsky sums up the vagaries of the market very well, in just four minutes in your excellent short video. Thank you for a very good post although I do wish his voice wouldn't make me feel sleepy but perhaps that's the time of day and the weekend looming :)

Many a benchmarking app has come and gone on Android, but there is one that has truly stood the test of time, Quadrant Standard. It's been around since April of 2010, and with today's update finally bringing multiple core and Android 4.0 support to the app, it doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.
Quadrant Standard Edition has long been the standard in apps used to quickly benchmark Android phones. Many argue the validity of Quadrant benchmark scores, and how those scores translate into real-world use, but nonetheless, it's the go to app for seeing what device can pull in the highest number.
The latest updated to Quadrant Standard not only features GUI improvements, polish translation and a bug fix dealing with low framerates on PowerVR SGX 540, it brings two long awaited features to the app: multiple core and Android 4.0 compatibility. Before today, Quadrant wasn't optimized to give accurate readings on devices with multiple cores like anything from the Motorola Atrix on up to the Galaxy Nexus. Quadrant 2.0 fixes that.
Due to the changes made from Quadrant 1.x to 2.0, the way devices are scored has changed. So the score browser is a slightly limited for the time being, but that will be addressed in the next update.
To download Quadrant Standard, simply use our handy download widget below. Once you're done doing that, you can report your score along with the device used, and any custom ROMs or kernels in the comments. We'd love to see what everyone's scores are.

Ulster take one step closer
Ulster beat Montpellier 27-16 on Friday, but failed to grab a crucial fourth try which would have guaranteed them a European Cup quarterfinal place.
The Irish province racked up a fifth win in five Pool Five matches to give them a seven-point lead over Leicester Tigers.
However, the English giants should close the gap with a win at group whipping boys Treviso on Saturday, before a potential pool decider at Welford Road against Ulster next weekend.
Ulster had looked in control, but never particularly comfortable in the first 40 minutes at Ravenhill against a Montpellier side which had lost six of their last seven matches.
Having slipped down 0-3 to a seventh-minute penalty from Eric Escande, Ulster were swiftly on top with two tries in three minutes.
Paddy Jackson's accurate cross-field kick was calmly collected by flank Robbie Diack to dive over for his third career try in the tournament.
South African scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar kicked a difficult conversion from tight on the touchline for a 7-3 lead.
Pienaar added his team's second try on 26 minutes after collecting his own kick ahead.
His simple conversion made it 14-3 but Ulster took their foot off the gas and ended up going in at just 17-13 in front at the interval.
Montpellier lock Robins Tchale-Watchou burst through for 14-8 with Escande adding the extras.
Pienaar and Escande then exchanged penalties before half-time.
A penalty apiece followed early in the second half before former All Blacks prop John Afoa barrelled through for Ulster's third try just before hour mark.
Pienaar added the conversion for a personal haul of 17 points on the night but some dogged defence from Montpellier prevented Ulster from grabbing the bonus point try.
* In Friday's other match, Scarlets beat Racing Metro 19-13 in Pool Four.
The result means Scarlets' quarterfinal hopes stay alive for another day at least, after they stunned Racing at the Stade Yves-du-Manoir.
ASM Clermont Auvergne remain in the driving seat to qualify from Pool Four, with Harlequins hot on their heels ahead of Saturday's mouth-watering match up at the Twickenham Stoop, but Scarlets are mathematically still in with a shout of a place in the last eight.
Young wing Kristian Phillips was their match winner, with his stunning solo score just past the hour handing them a six-point lead that they never relinquished.
Wales flyhalf Rhys Priestland picked up the Man of the Match award with an assured display that ended with a 14-point haul courtesy of four penalties from five attempts and the conversion of Phillips' try.
British & Irish Lions stars Jonny Sexton and Mike Phillips stood out for Racing, with the scrumhalf grabbing his side's early try, but the Scarlets deservedly stopped a run of six straight defeats.
