A hand tool known as a screwdriver according to the earliest records has been used since the late middle ages. Screwdrivers are used for insertion and removal of screws and are available in a multitude of variations to correspond to the correct screw drive. The drive or head of a screw has a shaped cavity and protrusion that fits the screwdriver tip to allow turning force known as torque to be applied in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
They are everywhere!
The one tool that appears in everyones home is the screwdriver. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast or a tradesperson, you know about or have used one. There are several different types to consider and where to use them as well: our Screwdrivers Guide illustrates them all to help you select the model that best suits you and your projects.
The Break-down
You can typically break down a screwdriver into three parts, the handle, shaft and tip.
The handles are normally made of plastic, bi-material, nylon, cellulose acetate, etc., designed to maximise grip and comfort. VDE approved ensures that tools like screwdrivers are safe to use when working with electricity.
The shaft is made from materials like steel, nickel or even beryllium copper. These are durable metals, strong enough to resist force applied when used.
There is virtually an unlimited choice when it comes to driver tips, they tend to be variations of the most popular shaped pieces;
Tip size
Metric or Imperial (mm or Inches)
What does VDE Approved mean?
VDE approval ensures that tools like screwdrivers are safe to use when working with electricity. A VDE approved tool means that it has passed a series of rigorous tests ensuring the quality, safety, construction and ergonomics have been met. Due to health and safety regulations, the VDE standard is being recognised more and is commonly found in the building trade.
What are the typical uses?
Screws are a necessary part of everyday life as they feature in almost anything. Assembling furniture, finishing DIY projects, installations in commercial settings, screws can be found in anything and have become a useful ally in every industry. Several different types of screwdrivers are available, from Phillips to Pozidriv each serving their own purpose.
Why would you need one?
Depending on the setting, you could be a DIY enthusiast working on their next project and want a reliable tool. You may just be a conscientious homeowner who wants to have tools readily available if needed to make repairs. The screwdriver has become the go-to tool in the toolbox and will continue to be in the future
This is important!
To formulate a plan and purchase the correct screwdriver or a screwdriver set, make sure you know the size of the screw you are going to use as this is going to be an essential part of your work.

A few months ago, Timothy Ferriss, a self-help author, threw himself a party in San Francisco, where he lives. Officially, it was not a celebration for his most recent book, "The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman," which came out in December and is already in its eleventh printing. In the book, Ferriss tells his readers, "Hack yourself," and presents them with hundreds of "scientific rules for redesigning the human body": bathing in ice to lose weight, eating organic almond butter on celery sticks to treat insomnia. Nor was the party meant to mark the enduring success of his first book, "The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich," which is still on the Times' business best-seller list after four years. That book counsels readers to limit their newspaper reading to the headlines visible from vending machines and to outsource the management of their calendars and finances to a remote personal assistant in Bangalore.
As Ferriss took the stage at the Broadway Studios, a club on a seedy strip in North Beach, he explained that the party was intended to encourage cross-pollination among members of the many social and business spheres he inhabits. "Everyone here is extremely awesome in their own way, but we all have our own echo chambers," Ferriss announced over a microphone, as his guests milled around the dance floor, drinking cocktails with names like Sex Machine and Übermensch. Ferriss went on, "Everyone here rocks, and I want you to go out of your comfort zone and talk to someone you don't know."
I didn't know anyone, so I went out of my comfort zone to talk to a young man named Courtney Reum, who told me that he had left a job at Goldman Sachs to start a company that makes and sells Veev—an organic, kosher, gluten-free, carbon-neutral açai liquor, bottled in recycled glass, with labels printed with soy inks. I also met Tracy Reifkind, a fitness instructor, who is featured in "The 4-Hour Body"; she recounted losing more than a hundred pounds by swinging kettlebells, a technique endorsed by Ferriss, and told me, "I'm the Jazzercise of kettlebells." There was Mike Geary, who has a Web site called truthaboutabs.com, which mints money; he lives in Vail, Colorado, and begins every day by checking the ski report. I discovered that Reid Mihalko, who runs a sex-advice Web site called reidaboutsex.com—"What Tim Ferriss does for stuff, I do for sex"—has incredibly warm hands.
M. J. Kim, a publicist, fondly described Ferriss as "the smartest self-promoter I know." Shortly after they met, Kim recalled, Ferriss asked her if he could piggyback the launch of "The 4-Hour Workweek" onto a birthday party that she was throwing for herself. "It was ridiculous," Kim said. "While everyone was having cocktails and singing 'Happy Birthday,' he was handing out copies of his book. It was a case of 'Who is that guy?' " Ferriss's close friend Chris Ashenden was also at the party. They first met a few years ago, in Buenos Aires; Ashenden, a New Zealander, is immortalized in Ferriss's work as the Kiwi. ("The 4-Hour Body" notes that the Kiwi "had competed in elite-level rugby in New Zealand but was equally proud, I soon learned, of applying his B.S.E. in exercise physiology to perfecting the female posterior.") "Tim's awesome!" Ashenden shouted to me over the booming sound system, before turning to speak into the ear of an attractive young woman upon whom his exercise regimen would be redundant.
Ferriss, who is thirty-three years old, is almost impossibly affable, with a square jaw, twinkling blue eyes, and a tanned, well-shaped skull that beams through his close-cropped fair hair. At the party, he bounded around the room, dispensing vigorous hugs to the women and grasping the men by the deltoid muscle. A tall woman with long dark hair, who was wearing a black cocktail dress with a plunging neckline and high-heeled red shoes, approached him. "Hi, Tim, I'm Amy," she said. Ferriss, who was dressed in jeans and an untucked plaid shirt, yelped in delighted recognition, and hugged her warmly.
She was Amy Hogg, his remote executive assistant, who lives in Kelowna, British Columbia. Hogg explained, "I was working part time for another author, and Tim wrote me an e-mail asking, 'Do you know any other bad-ass Canadian chicks who work as virtual assistants?' " She'd volunteered her own bad ass, and a couple of years ago gave up her other clients to focus on Ferriss. Though they were typically in touch by e-mail at least once a day, they had never met. Ferriss looked Hogg up and down admiringly, and said, "If I'd known my assistant was so hot, I'd have met you a lot sooner!"
Every generation gets the self-help guru that it deserves. In 1937, at the height of the Depression, Napoleon Hill wrote "Think and Grow Rich," which claimed to distill the principles that had made Andrew Carnegie so wealthy. "The Power of Positive Thinking," by Norman Vincent Peale, which was published in 1952, advised readers that techniques such as "a mind-emptying at least twice a day" would lead to success. By the seventies, Werner Erhard and est promised material wealth through spiritual enlightenment. The eighties and nineties saw management-consultancy maxims married with New Age thinking, with books such as Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." In the past decade or so, there has been a rise in books such as "Who Moved My Cheese?," by Spencer Johnson, which promise to help readers maximize their professional potential in an era of unpredictable workplaces.
Ferriss's books appeal to those for whom cheese, per se, has ceased to have any allure. "This book is not about finding your 'dream job,' " Ferriss writes in "The 4-Hour Workweek." "I will take it as a given that, for most people, somewhere between six and seven billion of them, the perfect job is the one that takes the least time." But Ferriss doesn't recommend idleness. Rather, he prescribes a kind of hyperkinetic entrepreneurialism of the body and soul, with every man his own life coach, angel investor, Web master, personal trainer, and pharmaceutical test subject. One's body can become one's own laboratory: with "a few tweaks," Ferriss suggests, its performance can be maximally enhanced—just as in the movie "Limitless," but without the nasty withdrawal symptoms. His books seem to have a particular resonance for Wired-reading, Clif Bar-eating men—those whose desire to improve their abdominal definition may not be so great that they will subscribe to Men's Health but who find in Ferriss the promise of heightened braininess complemented by an enviable degree of brawniness.
Ferriss likes to declare that this is the age of the self-experimenter, and his mantra is "minimal effective dose." His goal is to determine how much can be achieved with how little, and his method is to interview experts—Ray Cronise, a former NASA scientist; Pavel Tsatsouline, a former Soviet Special Forces instructor; Nina Hartley, a porn actress—and convey their findings in prose that ranges from alarmingly high-tech to reassuringly conversational. Ferriss's more technical passages sound like an Onion satire of a TED talk. In a passage about losing body fat, he writes, "If you are under 25%, still aim for DEXA, BodPod, or ultrasound. If you cannot find these, opt for calipers with a qualified professional (use the same person for all follow-up visits) and request the 3-point or 7-point Jackson-Pollock algorithm." But in his more demotic moments he sounds like a staff writer for Maxim: "So cover the baby's ears. I'm going to tell you something stunning and disgusting. . . . Most guys like pornography. And Santa Claus does not exist."
Ferriss's self-experimentation has not been without its risks: in 2009, he landed in the emergency room with a joint infection after getting a series of human-growth-factor injections at a sports-medicine facility in Arizona. And once, in Cape Town, after megadosing on resveratrol, which may extend life in laboratory mice, he discovered that the tablets also contained a laxative. Such stunts might lead readers to conclude that Ferriss is something of a quack, but he is careful to issue disclaimers. "Please don't be stupid and kill yourself," he writes. "It would make us both quite unhappy. Consult a doctor before doing anything in this book."
Critics have compared him to P. T. Barnum, and he certainly has a skill for self-salesmanship: this spring, he relentlessly talked up Costco's decision to discontinue stocking "The 4-Hour Body"—a decision he suggests was made on account of the explicitness of a chapter entitled "The 15-Minute Female Orgasm"—and the ensuing controversy inspired a marketing bonanza of prurient Google searches. Ferriss, naturally, sees himself as more than a mere huckster. "It's extremely easy to mix my words so that it sounds more like a message from P. T. Barnum than from a Thoreau or a Seneca, with whom I identify much more," he told me not long ago. He particularly admires Seneca for his mastery of strategic thinking and for his advocacy of a practice of detachment from worldly things. Ferris estimates that, over the years, he has given away more than four hundred copies of "Letters from a Stoic," which he calls "the ideal operating system for anyone who wants to operate in high-stress environments." That's a considerable figure, though it hardly rivals the thousands of copies of "The 4-Hour Body" that Ferriss signed for a pre-order promotion on barnesandnoble.com, in the hope of enhancing his ranking on the best-seller lists. (The book hit the Times' Advice, How-To, and Miscellaneous list at No. 1.)
Ferriss's first book, "The 4-Hour Workweek," was turned down by twenty-six publishers before being accepted by Crown, and he recounts this statistic with pride. But it's easy to understand the caution of those twenty-six. Ferriss's aesthetic is a pointed rejection of the culture of constant BlackBerrying, corporate jockeying, and office all-nighters that is celebrated in most business-advice books, and in films such as "The Social Network." "The 4-Hour Workweek" was inspired by a personal epiphany. In 2004, Ferriss, feeling burned out as the C.E.O. of a sports-nutrition company, where he worked twelve-hour days, seven days a week, discovered that he preferred to spend his time learning the tango in Buenos Aires or archery in Kyoto. He also found that, by automating his business operations to the largest extent possible, he was able to pull this off. (To a point, at least. Kane Ng, a Hollywood executive who is Ferriss's friend, told me, expansively, "Tim is a total fraud, you know. 'Four-hour workweek'? He is constantly busting ass." Of course, it was Seneca who said that hyperbole "asserts the incredible in order to arrive at the credible.") Ferriss advises would-be members of the New Rich to check e-mail no more than twice a day, and to set automated responses advising correspondents of the recipient's unavailability. (Anyone who e-mails Ferriss these days immediately receives in her inbox an automated response, with the cheery sign-off "Here's to life outside of the inbox!") The book counsels readers to take what Ferriss calls "mini-retirements" now—a month in Costa Rica, three months in Berlin—rather than saving up the prospect of leisure for the final decades of life. And it recommends funding all this by discovering a "muse," which Ferriss defines, as Seneca did not, as "an automated vehicle for generating cash without consuming time."
Finding one's muse, like catching one's rabbit before cooking it, is more easily said than done, but Ferriss's advocacy of liberation from the workplace has had a wide appeal, especially among younger people to whom the workplace may be unattainable in the first place, given the unemployment rate. Similarly, his latest book, "The 4-Hour Body," speaks to the peculiar obsessions and insecurities of the young American male. Ferriss tells readers how they might lose twenty pounds in thirty days without exercise—eggs, spinach, and lentils are crucial—and how to triple their testosterone levels. (Gentlemen, put your iPhone in the pocket of your backpack, not the pocket of your jeans.) The book, which is five hundred and forty-eight pages long, contains a lot of colorfully odd advice—he recommends increasing abdominal definition with an exercise he calls "cat vomiting"—but it also reassures readers that they need not go so far as to have Israeli stem-cell factor injected into the cervical spine, as Ferriss did in the name of inquiry. Nor need they necessarily incorporate into their regimen Ferriss's method for determining the effectiveness of controlled binge eating: weighing his feces to find out exactly what kind of shit he was full of.
The first time I met Ferriss was in New York, at Fred's, a restaurant in the Barneys department store on the Upper East Side. In a time-efficiency technique adapted from "The 4-Hour Workweek," he had "clustered" two consecutive meetings, arranging to meet me immediately after spending time with a couple of movie producers. In a clustering miscalculation, however, Ferriss had neglected to seat himself with a view of the restaurant's doorway, so that I entered and was seated without him noticing, and spotted him before he saw me. He was unmistakable: bobbing on his seat in a T-shirt and jeans in a roomful of men wearing dark suits and women with Japanese-straightened hair, he looked like a friendly backpacker hoping to fulfill a couch-surfing rendezvous with a hospitable stranger.
Ferriss grew up in the Hamptons, though not, he was quick to point out, amid the kind of folk who shop at Barneys. "I did not grow up playing tennis with Steven Spielberg and drinking wine with Jerry Seinfeld—I grew up serving coffee to those people," he told me. His father was a real-estate agent, and his mother was a physical therapist who worked with geriatric patients. "I was a townie," he went on. "I was the kid with the rat tail dreaming of tearing the hood ornaments off fancy cars."
Ferriss went to local schools until he was in his freshman year at East Hampton High, when a friend who attended St. Paul's, the élite boarding school in New Hampshire, told Ferriss that he should apply. He did so, and was accepted, arriving for his sophomore year. Ferriss had been wrestling since childhood, and he became an eager member of the St. Paul's team. John Buxton, the school's former wrestling coach, who is now the headmaster of Culver Academies, in Indiana, recalls, "Tim worked really hard—he always wanted to improve and was willing to give his best effort. Then you began to see the more entrepreneurial side. He would start to do more with less. He would come to me and say, 'I have discovered this technique: instead of putting two hundred and fifty pounds on the bar and doing the entire bench press, I am going to put three hundred on the bar and move it just a few inches." Some years later, Ferriss won a national Chinese-kickboxing championship through similar entrepreneurialism. He scoured the fine print of the rules and discovered that, if a combatant fell off the fighting platform three times within a round, he lost the match. "I decided to use this technicality as my principal technique and push people off," Ferriss writes in "The 4-Hour Workweek." "I won all my matches by technical knock-out . . . and went home national champion."
St. Paul's required students to study a foreign language, and Ferriss chose Japanese; he spent his junior year living with a host family in Tokyo and attending a Japanese school. It was a formative experience. "I realized how arbitrary a lot of my rules were," he said. "In Japan, you bathe before you get into the bathtub, and there is a seniority in the order in which you go into the same bath. All these conventions that I realized were fairly arbitrary led me to question a lot of assumptions that I had in all areas." A highlight of his Japanese sojourn was being invited to participate in a sumo practice. "I ended up getting dressed by two sumo wrestlers, which is unusual, as a fifteen-year-old, to be stripped down and have this canvas roll hiked up between your buttocks," he told me.
He wrote about that experience for his college-application essay, and was accepted at Princeton, where he enrolled first to study neuroscience before switching to a major in East Asian studies. Ferriss speaks Japanese and Mandarin, although to see him do so brings irresistibly to mind Mike Myers speaking Cantonese in "Wayne's World." While at Princeton, Ferriss tried to market audiotapes of college-admissions advice for high-school students, but the idea bombed. Before graduating, he took some time off to try another business venture—building a chain of high-end gyms in Taiwan—and that failed, too. (He still has lingering fantasies of opening his own gym: "It would be gritty and dirty and really expensive. I think that would be really fun to do: get some bunker or dilapidated warehouse and turn it into this factory for physical monsters. And you could have this secret, pristine, sterile room, where once a week doctors come in to take blood draws, and you could have a phlebotomist on staff.") After college, Ferriss moved to Silicon Valley, where he worked in sales for a data-storage startup, and discovered that he could best his colleagues by making most of his phone calls immediately before and after regular business hours, at which time he was least likely to be deflected by a secretary.
He joined an association of startup entrepreneurs and volunteered to be its event producer, wrangling speakers with whom he had a particular fascination, including Jack Canfield, the co-editor of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series. Ferriss offered Canfield introductions to the world of Silicon Valley, and Canfield agreed to speak without a fee. "Tim has no problem asking for things," Canfield told me. "I teach that in my work. He would send me e-mails every once in a while telling me what he was doing, and he would ask for advice." Canfield became a mentor to Ferriss, and found him a literary agent, though the exchange has, over the years, grown to become more mutually advantageous. "I learned stuff from his last book," Canfield said. "The fifteen-minute-orgasm chapter—my wife and I tried the technique and had great success with that." Canfield is not the only best-selling writer Ferriss has befriended: Nassim Taleb, the author of "The Black Swan," says that he, too, has adopted elements of "The 4-Hour Body," such as swinging kettlebells and strategically bingeing on protein. "The second time we met, we had lunch, and we ate every single egg they had in the restaurant," Taleb says.
In 2000, Ferriss founded the sports-nutrition company—his last "real" job. The company sold a supplement called BrainQuicken, which was targeted at students and promised to improve retention and recall. The product took off when it was rebranded for athletes, under the name BodyQuick, and as sales increased Ferriss found himself becoming stressed and overworked. Ferriss recalls that his girlfriend at the time, tiring of his long days, gave him a photo frame containing the motto "Business Hours End at 5 P.M." "She said, 'Put this on your desk—I think you need this as a reminder for your own personal health,' " he told me. "It was like a 'Dear John' letter." He sold the business a couple of years ago, when its function as a muse—generating cash without consuming time—had been rendered unnecessary by the cash-generating properties of his books. "The business was like an anti-virus software on the computer—it slows you down," he said. "It was always occupying five or ten per cent of my brain."
These days, Ferriss lives by a different inspirational quotation, from the chef Bobby Flay: "Take the risks and you'll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed. It's that simple." It sits, framed, on his desk in his apartment, in San Francisco, next to a bookcase filled with copies of "The 4-Hour Workweek" in several of the thirty-four other languages into which it has been translated. The apartment has an interior garden filled with tropical plants ("my hyperbaric chamber") and a kitchen stocked with green and white teas, which he drinks in the belief that they may help ward off cancer. When I visited, a pair of swimming trunks stained with shark blood was hanging out of a laundry basket—Ferriss recently had been tagging tiger sharks at a marine-biology lab in Florida "for fun."
Various pieces of punitive-looking exercise equipment were arrayed on the living-room floor, making it look like the staging area for an infomercial. On the bookshelf were manga comic books in several languages; Ferriss uses them to hone his vernacular skills. (In addition to Japanese and Mandarin, he speaks Spanish and some German.) A copy of "The Last Lecture," a valedictory speech by the computer scientist Randy Pausch, was on the bookshelf with its cover turned outward: it was a kind of memento mori, Ferriss explained. Kettlebells lined the entry hall, as did Ferriss's footwear collection: sneakers, Vibrams, and a pair of over-the-knee black suède women's boots, not in his size. A suit of kendo armor stood in a corner. There was, inevitably, a framed arty photograph of a naked woman.
Ferriss conducted me up the stairs to his loft bedroom, which was equipped with a Zeo brain-wave monitor to measure sleep patterns. "This is where the magic happens," he said, jocularly. Ferriss's fifteen-minute-orgasm chapter may be his most-thumbed: it features hand-drawn illustrations, similar to those showing the Heimlich maneuver which restaurants are obliged to display, demonstrating how a woman's partner might "facilitate" an extended paroxysm. The experience that Ferriss is promoting is less superhuman than the chapter title implies: it's a fifteen-minute session of precisely targeted stroking, during which the female partner climaxes repeatedly. "It's not just one clenched vagina for fifteen minutes—that would be horrible for everyone," he told me.
Ferriss does not have a serious girlfriend at present, but he says that one day he would like to marry and have children, and he has banked his sperm as a precautionary measure. His four-hour efficiency techniques do not, he says, necessarily translate well to the arena of romance: "You can't have the four-hour love life," he says. He admits that his sex chapters have piqued the interest of some partners, though he does not recommend implementing his techniques on a first encounter. "It would be really weird on a first date, because you are side-straddling the woman, facing her feet," he said. "I think it would be a real flip of the coin as to how the woman responds. She will either assume you're a serial killer, or Rain Man, or it could be very positive."
Shortly before the end of the academic year, Ferriss visited Princeton to address a class in entrepreneurialism taught by Ed Zschau, a professor in the department of electrical engineering. When Ferriss was a college student, he took the same class, and for the past nine years he has returned to share his experience and insights. I ran into Ferriss outside the building, where he was squatting on a ledge, putting into practice the "4-Hour Workweek" precept of working from anywhere by animatedly talking into the camera of his laptop, recording a promotional video to be posted to his blog. There are hazards to this on-the-go approach: as he finished up the video, Ferriss accidentally knocked the notepad that contained his lecture's outline—along with notes for other projects—down a storm grate.
Without his notes, Ferriss relied on his well-honed biography, telling the students about his route from Princeton to Silicon Valley and beyond; saying that his book had been yanked from the shelves of Costco; and advising them to read "Letters from a Stoic" as well as "Let My People Go Surfing," by Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, and "Losing My Virginity: How I've Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way," by Richard Branson, the British billionaire. "With those, you'll have pretty much all you need to jump out there," he said. After the talk, students lined up to snap pictures with Ferriss on their iPhones. A young man from Kazakhstan addressed Ferriss in Japanese before striking a kickboxing pose for the camera. Others asked him how to reach him with follow-up questions. Ferriss accommodated their requests with generous, open-source charm.
Ferriss professes to be untroubled that his own freedom to live "outside of the inbox" is bought by transferring drudgery to the inboxes of less fortunate individuals in the developing world. "There are people I have outsourced to in India who now outsource portions of their work to the Philippines," he told me. "It's the efficient use of capital, and if you want the rewards of a free market, if you want to enjoy the rewards of the capitalist system, these are the rules by which you play." One of his favorite new startups, he told me, is a company called Samasource, which outsources transcription and other internet-based work to refugee camps and other impoverished communities. Ferriss is a generous donor to certain nonprofits: a portion of the proceeds from "The 4-Hour Body" go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and he is on the advisory board of donorschoose.org, an online charity targeting classrooms in need, which was started by Charles Best, a former wrestling teammate from St. Paul's.
In a further exploration of the rewards of a free market, Ferriss has teamed up with Amazon to publish his next book, "The 4-Hour Chef," which will appear next spring—a move that adds considerable muscle to the company's burgeoning effort to position itself as not just a seller but also a publisher of books. "One of my greatest joys in life is trying things that haven't been done before, and I simply wanted to play in a different sandbox," he said. Ferriss has extended his portfolio of interests to investing: he has begun providing marketing advice to various startups in exchange for equity, and has acquired stakes in Facebook and Twitter, assuming that sufficient numbers of people will opt for the appeal of digital connectivity over the allure of recreational shark-tagging, competitive tango dancing, or any of the other activities that one might pursue in the hundred and sixty-four hours of free time in a four-hour workweek.
After the Princeton talk, Ferriss headed back to Manhattan. He had a meeting that evening with a hedge-fund manager who wanted to hire him as a high-end personal trainer and life coach. Ferriss relished the opportunity to apply his four-hour tools not to help the fund manager design a more satisfying life style outside his work but to make his mastery of the universe even more masterly. "It is about how can I, potentially, train him to be three times what he is currently in terms of cognitive and physical performance," he said. "Right now, he is at the very top of that world, and wants to remain at the very top of that world. Very frequently, those people almost by necessity burn the candle at both ends, so if you can improve your work capacity and performance it's a very clear competitive advantage in a world where you are fighting for investors and funding."
The notes he'd prepared for the meeting had also been in the book he'd dropped down the storm grate, but Ferriss was untroubled. Much of the material was backed up somewhere else, and in any case there was no point in obsessing over what could not be retrieved, especially when there was so much more to be gained. "Thank you, Seneca," he said. ♦

O.J. Mayo scored 30 points and the Dallas Mavericks remained unbeaten against the Charlotte Bobcats with a 126-99 victory on Saturday night.
Mayo made a career-high seven 3-pointers, including one that put the Mavericks ahead for good late in the second quarter and another that capped a 24-8 run that made it 76-61 in the third.
Dallas improved to 16-0 all-time against Charlotte.
Chris Kaman made his Mavericks debut as a reserve, but the spark off the bench came from Vince Carter. The 14-year veteran got the crowd going with a powerful dunk and did it again later with a spectacular blocked shot.
Ramon Sessions led Charlotte with 22 points.

People Tree
People Tree is the pioneer of sustainable and conscious fashion, established in 1991 by awardwinning social entrepreneur Safia Minney.
People Tree launched the first fashion range to meet the Global Organic Textile Standard certified by the Soil Association, manufactured in the developing world. People Tree is the first fashion company to be awarded the World Fair Trade Organisation product label.These certifications guarantee People Tree's dedication and compliance to the principles of fair trade, covering fair wages, good working conditions, transparency, environmental best practice, gender equality and setting the example for conventional fashion companies to improve their supply chains.
Our products are made to the highest ethical and environmental standards from start to finish. Collections featuring organic cotton, TENCEL™ Lyocell and ethical wool, are made
using traditional artisan skills such as hand weaving, hand knitting, hand embroidery and hand block printing. Contemporary, versatile designs and playful, exclusive prints inspired by nature create stylish, innovative and affordable fashion, while respecting people and the planet.
People Tree UK actively supports farmers, producers and artisans through 13 fair trade producer groups around the
world. Fair trade means far more than paying a fair price. People Tree aims to use fashion as a tool to empower the
world's most marginalised people. We provide technical assistance for producers, so they can improve their skills,
strengthen their businesses and have a positive social impact.
Fair trade is an alternative approach to conventional international trade. It is a partnership between producers
and traders, which aims at sustainable development for excluded and economically disadvantaged people in
developing countries. Fair trade promotes livelihoods and enables people to put food on their tables, to live and work
with dignity and educate their children. People Tree products are designed to revitalise the use of
traditional skills and combine them with a core focus on innovative technologies to support and grow business for
our producers. By using skills such as hand weaving, hand knitting or hand embroidery we create employment in rural
areas where work is often scarce. These production methods are also carbon neutral. All clothes are dyed using low impact
dyes, free from harmful azo chemicals which are frequently used in clothing manufacture. We use natural materials
where possible, avoiding plastic and toxic substances.
At People Tree, we see it as our core mission to work closely with people in developing countries to build viable
businesses that can sustain communities.We pass on our knowledge and provide financial assistance
when needed so that these businesses can not only meet our high production standards, but also develop competitive,
desirable products. Each fair trade group is unique, with some set up specifically to deal with a particular issue, or help a specific community.
People Tree is renowned for collaborating with international designers to create capsule collections that marry high
design with sustainability. For 2019, People Tree continues a capsule collection with the V&A Museum and top designers.
World attention was drawn to People Tree when actress Emma Watson collaborated with the brand on her
first ever fashion collection.

One August morning nearly two decades ago, my mother woke me and put me in a cab. She handed me a jacket. "Baka malamig doon" were among the few words she said. ("It might be cold there.") When I arrived at the
My mother wanted to give me a better life, so she sent me thousands of miles away to live with her parents in America — my grandfather (Lolo in Tagalog) and grandmother (
One day when I was 16, I rode my
Confused and scared, I pedaled home and confronted Lolo. I remember him sitting in the garage, cutting coupons. I dropped my bike and ran over to him, showing him the green card. "Peke ba ito?" I asked in Tagalog. ("Is this fake?") My grandparents were naturalized American citizens — he worked as a security guard, she as a food server — and they had begun supporting my mother and me financially when I was 3, after my father's wandering eye and inability to properly provide for us led to my parents' separation. Lolo was a proud man, and I saw the shame on his face as he told me he purchased the card, along with other fake documents, for me. "Don't show it to other people," he warned.
I decided then that I could never give anyone reason to doubt I was an American. I convinced myself that if I worked enough, if I achieved enough, I would be rewarded with citizenship. I felt I could earn it.Continue reading the main story
I've tried. Over the past 14 years, I've graduated from high school and college and built a career as a journalist, interviewing some of the most famous people in the country. On the surface, I've created a good life. I've lived the American dream.
But I am still an undocumented immigrant. And that means living a different kind of reality. It means going about my day in fear of being found out. It means rarely trusting people, even those closest to me, with who I really am. It means keeping my family photos in a shoebox rather than displaying them on shelves in my home, so friends don't ask about them. It means reluctantly, even painfully, doing things I know are wrong and unlawful. And it has meant relying on a sort of 21st-century underground railroad of supporters, people who took an interest in my future and took risks for me.
Last year I read about four students who walked from
There are believed to be 11 million undocumented immigrants in the
My first challenge was the language. Though I learned English in the Philippines, I wanted to lose my accent. During high school, I spent hours at a time watching television (especially "Frasier," "Home Improvement" and reruns of "The Golden Girls") and movies (from "
The debates over "illegal aliens" intensified my anxieties. In 1994, only a year after my flight from the Philippines, Gov.
To do that, I had to work — and for that, I needed a
But soon Lolo grew nervous that the immigration authorities reviewing the petition would discover my mother was married, thus derailing not only her chances of coming here but those of my uncle as well. So he withdrew her petition. After my uncle came to America legally in 1991, Lolo tried to get my mother here through a tourist visa, but she wasn't able to obtain one. That's when she decided to send me. My mother told me later that she figured she would follow me soon. She never did.
The "uncle" who brought me here turned out to be a coyote, not a relative, my grandfather later explained. Lolo scraped together enough money — I eventually learned it was $4,500, a huge sum for him — to pay him to smuggle me here under a fake name and fake passport. (I never saw the passport again after the flight and have always assumed that the coyote kept it.) After I arrived in America, Lolo obtained a new fake Filipino passport, in my real name this time, adorned with a fake student visa, in addition to the fraudulent green card.
Using the fake passport, we went to the local
When I began looking for work, a short time after the D.M.V. incident, my grandfather and I took the Social Security card to Kinko's, where he covered the "I.N.S. authorization" text with a sliver of white tape. We then made photocopies of the card. At a glance, at least, the copies would look like copies of a regular, unrestricted Social Security card.
Lolo always imagined I would work the kind of low-paying jobs that undocumented people often take. (Once I married an American, he said, I would get my real papers, and everything would be fine.) But even menial jobs require documents, so he and I hoped the doctored card would work for now. The more documents I had, he said, the better.
While in high school, I worked part time at Subway, then at the front desk of the local
For more than a decade of getting part-time and full-time jobs, employers have rarely asked to check my original Social Security card. When they did, I showed the photocopied version, which they accepted. Over time, I also began checking the citizenship box on my federal I-9 employment eligibility forms. (Claiming full citizenship was actually easier than declaring permanent resident "green card" status, which would have required me to provide an alien registration number.)
This deceit never got easier. The more I did it, the more I felt like an impostor, the more guilt I carried — and the more I worried that I would get caught. But I kept doing it. I needed to live and survive on my own, and I decided this was the way.
Mountain View High School became my second home. I was elected to represent my school at school-board meetings, which gave me the chance to meet and befriend Rich Fischer, the superintendent for our school district. I joined the speech and debate team, acted in school plays and eventually became co-editor of The Oracle, the student newspaper. That drew the attention of my principal, Pat Hyland. "You're at school just as much as I am," she told me. Pat and Rich would soon become mentors, and over time, almost surrogate parents for me.
After a choir rehearsal during my junior year, Jill Denny, the choir director, told me she was considering a
She understood. So the choir toured
Later that school year, my history class watched a documentary on
I hadn't planned on coming out that morning, though I had known that I was gay for several years. With that announcement, I became the only openly gay student at school, and it caused turmoil with my grandparents. Lolo kicked me out of the house for a few weeks. Though we eventually reconciled, I had disappointed him on two fronts. First, as a Catholic, he considered homosexuality a sin and was embarrassed about having "ang apo na bakla" ("a grandson who is gay"). Even worse, I was making matters more difficult for myself, he said. I needed to marry an American woman in order to gain a green card.
Tough as it was, coming out about being gay seemed less daunting than coming out about my legal status. I kept my other secret mostly hidden.
While my classmates awaited their college acceptance letters, I hoped to get a full-time job at The Mountain View Voice after graduation. It's not that I didn't want to go to college, but I couldn't apply for state and federal financial aid. Without that, my family couldn't afford to send me.
But when I finally told Pat and Rich about my immigration "problem" — as we called it from then on — they helped me look for a solution. At first, they even wondered if one of them could adopt me and fix the situation that way, but a lawyer Rich consulted told him it wouldn't change my legal status because I was too old. Eventually they connected me to a new scholarship fund for high-potential students who were usually the first in their families to attend college. Most important, the fund was not concerned with immigration status. I was among the first recipients, with the scholarship covering tuition, lodging, books and other expenses for my studies at San Francisco State University.
As a college freshman, I found a job working part time at The
But then my lack of proper documents became a problem again. The Times's recruiter, Pat Foote, asked all incoming interns to bring certain paperwork on their first day: a birth certificate, or a passport, or a driver's license plus an original Social Security card. I panicked, thinking my documents wouldn't pass muster. So before starting the job, I called Pat and told her about my legal status. After consulting with management, she called me back with the answer I feared: I couldn't do the internship.
This was devastating. What good was college if I couldn't then pursue the career I wanted? I decided then that if I was to succeed in a profession that is all about truth-telling, I couldn't tell the truth about myself.
After this episode, Jim Strand, the venture capitalist who sponsored my scholarship, offered to pay for an immigration lawyer. Rich and I went to meet her in San Francisco's financial district.
I was hopeful. This was in early 2002, shortly after Senators
But the meeting left me crushed. My only solution, the lawyer said, was to go back to the Philippines and accept a 10-year ban before I could apply to return legally.
If Rich was discouraged, he hid it well. "Put this problem on a shelf," he told me. "Compartmentalize it. Keep going."
And I did. For the summer of 2003, I applied for internships across the country. Several newspapers, including The
The Post internship posed a tricky obstacle: It required a driver's license. (After my close call at the
Again, my support network came through. A friend's father lived in
The license meant everything to me — it would let me drive, fly and work. But my grandparents worried about the Portland trip and the Washington internship. While Lola offered daily prayers so that I would not get caught, Lolo told me that I was dreaming too big, risking too much.
I was determined to pursue my ambitions. I was 22, I told them, responsible for my own actions. But this was different from Lolo's driving a confused teenager to Kinko's. I knew what I was doing now, and I knew it wasn't right. But what was I supposed to do?
I was paying state and federal
At the D.M.V. in Portland, I arrived with my photocopied Social Security card, my college I.D., a pay stub from The San Francisco Chronicle and my proof of state residence — the letters to the Portland address that my support network had sent. It worked. My license, issued in 2003, was set to expire eight years later, on my 30th birthday, on Feb. 3, 2011. I had eight years to succeed professionally, and to hope that some sort of immigration reform would pass in the meantime and allow me to stay.
It seemed like all the time in the world.
My summer in Washington was exhilarating. I was intimidated to be in a major newsroom but was assigned a mentor — Peter Perl, a veteran magazine writer — to help me navigate it. A few weeks into the internship, he printed out one of my articles, about a guy who recovered a long-lost wallet, circled the first two paragraphs and left it on my desk. "Great eye for details — awesome!" he wrote. Though I didn't know it then, Peter would become one more member of my network.
At the end of the summer, I returned to The San Francisco Chronicle. My plan was to finish school — I was now a senior — while I worked for The Chronicle as a reporter for the city desk. But when The Post beckoned again, offering me a full-time, two-year paid internship that I could start when I graduated in June 2004, it was too tempting to pass up. I moved back to Washington.
About four months into my job as a reporter for The Post, I began feeling increasingly paranoid, as if I had "illegal immigrant" tattooed on my forehead — and in Washington, of all places, where the debates over immigration seemed never-ending. I was so eager to prove myself that I feared I was annoying some colleagues and editors — and worried that any one of these professional journalists could discover my secret. The anxiety was nearly paralyzing. I decided I had to tell one of the higher-ups about my situation. I turned to Peter.
By this time, Peter, who still works at The Post, had become part of management as the paper's director of newsroom training and professional development. One afternoon in late October, we walked a couple of blocks to Lafayette Square, across from the White House. Over some 20 minutes, sitting on a bench, I told him everything: the Social Security card, the driver's license, Pat and Rich, my family.
Peter was shocked. "I understand you 100 times better now," he said. He told me that I had done the right thing by telling him, and that it was now our shared problem. He said he didn't want to do anything about it just yet. I had just been hired, he said, and I needed to prove myself. "When you've done enough," he said, "we'll tell Don and Len together." (Don Graham is the chairman of The
In the five years that followed, I did my best to "do enough." I was promoted to staff writer, reported on video-game culture, wrote a series on Washington's
I did my best to steer clear of reporting on immigration policy but couldn't always avoid it. On two occasions, I wrote about
It was an odd sort of dance: I was trying to stand out in a highly competitive newsroom, yet I was terrified that if I stood out too much, I'd invite unwanted scrutiny. I tried to compartmentalize my fears, distract myself by reporting on the lives of other people, but there was no escaping the central conflict in my life. Maintaining a deception for so long distorts your sense of self. You start wondering who you've become, and why.
In April 2008, I was part of a Post team that won a
What will happen if people find out?
I couldn't say anything. After we got off the phone, I rushed to the bathroom on the fourth floor of the newsroom, sat down on the toilet and cried.
In the summer of 2009, without ever having had that follow-up talk with top Post management, I left the paper and moved to New York to join The
Still, I was apprehensive about the move: many companies were already using E-Verify, a program set up by the
While I worked at The Huffington Post, other opportunities emerged. My H.I.V./AIDS series became a documentary film called "The Other City," which opened at the
The more I achieved, the more scared and depressed I became. I was proud of my work, but there was always a cloud hanging over it, over me. My old eight-year deadline — the expiration of my Oregon driver's license — was approaching.
After slightly less than a year, I decided to leave The Huffington Post. In part, this was because I wanted to promote the documentary and write a book about online culture — or so I told my friends. But the real reason was, after so many years of trying to be a part of the system, of focusing all my energy on my professional life, I learned that no amount of professional success would solve my problem or ease the sense of loss and displacement I felt. I lied to a friend about why I couldn't take a weekend trip to
Early this year, just two weeks before my 30th birthday, I won a small reprieve: I obtained a driver's license in the state of Washington. The license is valid until 2016. This offered me five more years of acceptable identification — but also five more years of fear, of lying to people I respect and institutions that trusted me, of running away from who I am.
I'm done running. I'm exhausted. I don't want that life anymore.
So I've decided to come forward, own up to what I've done, and tell my story to the best of my recollection. I've reached out to former bosses and employers and apologized for misleading them — a mix of humiliation and liberation coming with each disclosure. All the people mentioned in this article gave me permission to use their names. I've also talked to family and friends about my situation and am working with legal counsel to review my options. I don't know what the consequences will be of telling my story.
I do know that I am grateful to my grandparents, my Lolo and Lola, for giving me the chance for a better life. I'm also grateful to my other family — the support network I found here in America — for encouraging me to pursue my dreams.
It's been almost 18 years since I've seen my mother. Early on, I was mad at her for putting me in this position, and then mad at myself for being angry and ungrateful. By the time I got to college, we rarely spoke by phone. It became too painful; after a while it was easier to just send money to help support her and my two half-siblings. My sister, almost 2 years old when I left, is almost 20 now. I've never met my 14-year-old brother. I would love to see them.
Not long ago, I called my mother. I wanted to fill the gaps in my memory about that August morning so many years ago. We had never discussed it. Part of me wanted to shove the memory aside, but to write this article and face the facts of my life, I needed more details. Did I cry? Did she? Did we kiss goodbye?
My mother told me I was excited about meeting a stewardess, about getting on a plane. She also reminded me of the one piece of advice she gave me for blending in: If anyone asked why I was coming to America, I should say I was going to

Yes it's 4/20, which,among other,less whimsical anniversaries, is the day to celebrate weed, bros! WOOOOO! As the urban legend goes, 4:20 p.m. was the time of day that high schoolers would light up after a long day of class. Ever since, it has been seen as the correct time of the day to inhale, hold your breath, exhale and follow up with pizza rolls, Facts of Life reruns, and maybe videogames. Now, we at GamesRadar would never endorse the use of any illegal product, nor would we weigh in on whether weed is simply a natural laziness-enhancer or a horrible gateway drug that leads to mainlining heroin while pimping yourself for crack. (But if you want a good argument towards legalization that also involves gaming references, give a listen to UK rapper The Streets and his songIrony of It All.)
Above: Pot puns also lead to hilarious game-related shirts
But you know what's perfectly legal (for now, anyway)? Digital characters smoking fake weed. Sure, it'll get you slapped with a definite M-rating (think of the children!), but it's a surefire way to get stoned goofs and mystified kids playing your game, as they chortle and nudge one another over it. So we celebrate now the slothful use of weed in games with this collection of the best/laziest appearances by pot and 420 culture in gaming.

Okay, so Bakersfield wasn't a surprise, but to us mainlanders who've never had a chance to visit the Islands Formerly Known as Sandwich, we're a bit shocked that Hawaii's got an apparently serious junk car problem. Having declared the island a "disaster area," alliteratively-named Governor Linda Lingle has authorized the towing of the cars to a site at the old Puunene Airport, a temporary location until the island can finally cobble together a Department of Health-certified scrapyard. Is it just us, or does "Old Puunene Airport" sound like a euphemism for female genitalia?

You asked. We listened. Erbert & Gerbert's now proudly offers gluten-free gourmet soups and certified gluten-free bread! Look for the 'GF' symbol on our soup menu and ask for any sandwich on our gluten-free bread for an additional charge. Yes, everybody is welcome in Flavornation!
Gluten-Free options have now arrived in Flavornation! Erbert & Gerbert's now proudly offers gluten-free gourmet soups and certified gluten-free bread!
"Introducing these new gluten-free options will allow a whole new group to enjoy the flavors we offer at Erbert & Gerbert's," said Chuck Schwalbe, director of marketing. "That is truly exciting for our brand and franchisees, but even more importantly so for those who suffer from celiac disease or choose a gluten-free lifestyle."
The menu's focal point will be gluten-free versions of the chain's three most popular sandwiches, using dedicated equipment to avoid cross-contamination. The three subs – the Boney Billy, a classic turkey breast sandwich; the Comet Morehouse, made with ham and provolone cheese; and the Jacob Bluefinger, a vegetarian option featuring provolone and avocado – will be made with specially-designed six-inch sub rolls made by Udi's, a national gluten-free bread company. The sub roll from Udi's are certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO).
In addition to the exclusive menu, guests will have the option of substituting the gluten-free roll on any of Erbert & Gerbert's 21 sandwiches for an extra charge, but those sandwiches cannot be certified gluten-free.
Erbert & Gerbert's new gluten-free menu doesn't stop at sandwiches: the chain will also offer a selection of three certified gluten-free soups, with more flavors in development. Two existing recipes – Cheddar Cheese & Broccoli and Cheesy Asparagus – have been reworked to eliminate gluten without altering taste, and a new flavor, French Onion, is also being introduced.
"Flavor is a key issue with gluten-free foods, and we wanted to develop a menu that upheld the values of Erbert & Gerbert's Flavornation," Schwalbe said. "Our reworked soups and the new sandwich menu reflect the best of both worlds: fresh, delicious fare that is certified gluten-free and meets our strict taste guidelines."
The gluten free menu has already been sampled in seven markets across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota, and Schwalbe says the preliminary reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
"The customer response has been phenomenal," he said. "We're incredibly excited to roll the menu out nationwide and invite a whole new group of people to experience the flavors that make Erbert & Gerbert's so unique."

The government crackdown in Syria is having economic reverberations across the region. In addition to sanctions imposed on Syria, many transport firms are finding it too risky to enter Syria. That's having consequences on traders on both sides of the frontier.
At the Cilvegozu border crossing in Turkey, the trickle of trucks, cars and people coming from Syria bear testament to the violence beyond the frontier. The latest arrivals are two cars bearing Saudi Arabian license plates. The doors and windows are ridden with bullet holes.
The Turkish occupants had been travelling back to their jobs in Saudi when they came under attack just a few kilometers into Syria. One of the drivers, Nesim Zeytinci describes what happened.
?We were driving in Syria," he said. "As we went over a bridge, we were attacked by some gunmen but we don?t know who they were. We sped off for around 500 meters under fire, then we turned off into a local neighborhood and the people there helped us. An ambulance came to take the injured passenger to hospital.?
There is now a permanent queue of trucks waiting on the Turkish side; drivers say sometimes it stretches 10 kilometers. Transport firms are increasingly wary of sending people and cargo into Syria.
?There is no security and the latest information we have is that on the Syrian side of the border they don?t give you your paperwork," said Mehmet Eski, who is supposed to be delivering drilling pipes to Dubai. "We were here waiting for a couple of days for our Saudi visas, we finally got those but now there is no security in Syria so we cannot go. Last night in the news,? he added, ?the Foreign Minister and governor of Antakya warned people not to go to Syria unless they really have to.?
Eski?s transport company decided to re-route the shipment via Iraq - a much longer route and not without its own dangers.
But it?s not just the violence that?s hitting trade.
Turkey has imposed financial and travel sanctions on the Syrian government. The U.S. and the European Union are tightening their economic sanctions on Syrian banks and oil firms
But questions remain over their effectiveness, says London-based analyst Shashank Joshi of Royal United Services Institute.
?If the Arab League imposes very harsh sanctions, with the U.N. or by itself, would they be policed? We know Syria?s borders with Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq are long and porous, it?s very hard to police sanctions," said Joshi. "Just like we saw in the 1990's with Iraq, would oil embargoes or restrictions on goods really be effective, can we stop stuff coming in and out of Syria
Effective or not, Joshi says sanctions are the option of choice for keeping international pressure on the Syrian government. That leaves commerce in limbo with world powers lacking an appetite for military intervention as violence inside Syria worsens.

LONDON (AP) — A video journalist covering the Syrian uprising for The Associated Press was wounded while filming clashes between rebels and the Syrian army.
Ahmed Bahaddou, a Belgian citizen, was struck in the shoulder by a bullet during a firefight Friday in northern Syria and was evacuated Sunday to London. He was admitted to a hospital in stable condition, and the wound was not considered life threatening.
Bahaddou's injury highlights the dangers to reporters seeking to cover Syria's uprising, which activists trying to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad say has killed more than 14,000 people.
The Syrian government rarely grants visas to foreign reporters and strictly limits the movements of those allowed to enter. This has left most reporters relying on contacts with activists and amateur videos shot inside the country to cover the story.
Bahaddou and two AP journalists entered Syria on June 2 from a neighboring country in order to gain a firsthand look at the fighting in the country.
Syria's uprising began in March 2011 with protests calling for the end of Assad's regime. The government has violently cracked down as the dissent has spread, and many in the opposition have taken up arms to defend their towns and attack government troops.
Bahaddou was the 2011 winner of the Rory Peck Award for News for his coverage of the Libyan uprising for The Associated Press. He has worked in Syria as an independent cameraman on assignment for AP. In more than 20 years as a video journalist, he has had wide experience covering conflicts in the Middle East, the Balkans and elsewhere.

In dealing with a little JSON encoding and objects in a project of his recently, Cal Evans bumped against a problem when he was encoding an object and moving it back and forth between the back and front ends.
The problem is simple, JSON encode a PHP object and send it back to the front end. Sounds simple and the last 100 times I wrote this code it was simple. This time, I was too smart for my own good. Here's the scenario.
He illustrates his problem - the "dropping" of properties somewhere along the way - with a sample class that encodes the object and sends it along. He missed one key bit of information, though. His protected array of properties wasn't getting passed back out correctly and we're in the resulting JSON message. A quick hack of a getProperties() function call made this problem a thing of the past.

Presented by Mr. Krueger before the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter, Hospital Financial Management Association—September 1972
Financial forecasting has been an important management tool in industry for many years. In the health care field, it is now nearly impossible to cope with reimbursement formulas, Economic Stabilization Program controls, rate setting, cost controls, and other daily informational demands without some reliable and efficient means of forecasting future operations. The Social Security Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-603) require, as a condition of participation under Medicare, that providers have written operating and capital expenditures budgets covering one and three subsequent accounting years. Several states are using prospective rates for Medicaid coverage. The advent of prepayment and capitation payments for health care receives ever increasing attention. Each new development makes the need for financial forecasting more pressing.
A practical tool available to assist financial managers with the mechanics of preparing and modifying financial forecasts is the financial model stored in a time-sharing computer. The purpose of this article is to describe financial modeling using time-sharing.
For those readers not yet initiated, the sharing of a computer by several users simultaneously is called "time-sharing." Access to the computer is provided by a "terminal," usually with a typewriter-like keyboard, on which messages are fed into the computer and on which the computer makes its responses. Time-sharing is used by telephoning the computer time-sharing utility and placing the receiver in the connector to the terminal. The coded word necessary for user identification (and for billing) is typed on the computer terminal, and, when that is cleared, the computer is instructed as to the program to be used. The data required to run the program is then entered.
Among the advantages of a time-sharing computer are the facility with which a stored program can be made available to licensed users and, of

Donations to the NAMI Hurricane Relief Fund can be made on-line at www.nami.org/HurricaneRelief. One hundred percent of funds raised will go directly to individuals and families through local NAMI affiliates. "People living with mental illnesses often are among the most vulnerable in our society," said NAMI executive director Michael J. Fitzpatrick. "Unfortunately, they also are often overlooked during disasters." "Stress, trauma and dislocation can worsen pre-existing mental illnesses or trigger onset in people who have never confronted serious mental health problems before," Fitzpatrick said. "At the same time, access to treatment is diminished. The impact of the disaster is greatly multiplied." NAMI is also providing Disaster Relief Information Resources on its Web site to help individuals and families. In weeks, months and years ahead, residents of affected areas, especially children, may struggle with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For survivors of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the impact of the latest storms may be especially acute. At that time, NAMI distributed more than $100,000 to individuals and families in the Gulf region for phone cards, medical treatment, lab work, food, clothing, transportation, and temporary housing. "NAMI is a consumer and family organization," Fitzpatrick said. "Recovery means people helping people. In the face of catastrophe, NAMI's extended family and network of friends want to help."

Tipster Mike eyed this tortured soul at the Wrigley Field urinal troughs during the Cubs-Pirates game today.
Your first reaction is to sympathize with him, since he has to root for that slinger of MMSs/guns AND the tortured Chicago Cubs. But then you realize that he should really just cheer for the Bears to go with his baseball team, instead of the Packers or Vikings or Jets or Falcons.
And then he'll say something like "Well, I'm no football expert like you, but I just admire what Brett Favre does out there, and what he's been through. You can see how hard he plays." Along the way, though, you'll realize that he's from Milwaukee and backs the Cubs instead of the Brewers because he doesn't care for Ryan Braun's god.
Then he'll invite you out for beers and cheese curds. Before too long, you're under the spell and signing a petition supporting Scott Walker.
Buy that ironic Neifi Perez jersey, and stay safe.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. LCD Soundsystem doesn't call it quits until tomorrow, but perhaps you can see all your friends tonight.

Texas teen volleyball star Mackenzie McCollum was taken off her team (against school policy) when she became pregnant. When she was finally re-instated, the coach told the entire team about her pregnancy. But she and her family are fighting back.
Here's ESPN's in-depth reporting — it's longish, but worth it. This young lady has clearly been discriminated against, but it's good to see her family rallying around her, and the media covering this story so thoroughly and with such urgency. And good news: the US Dept. of Education is investigating the school for Title IX violations:

The NYT surfaces the concerns of Kansas City priests, several conceding that their bishop's resignation would be a good idea. Fr Michael Clary:
I think it would be easier for us to move forward without Bishop Finn as our bishop.
Bishop Finn is not without defenders, like Fr Vince Rogers:
Yes, there is a divide in the presbyterate, but in my opinion it's the same old tired divide that has existed from the day he arrived. In a word, some of the priests wish that we had a more liberal bishop, and they are willing to use any means to achieve that end.
On the other hand, some people might posit that having a discredited conservative bishop is better than having an effective conservative. Robert Finn continues to serve as an example that serious sin can be blind, and that committed Catholics who style themselves "faithful" or "orthodox" or "obedient" are no more inclined to be virtuous than those who pose questions, or who are unorthodox, or who otherwise think the Church is going in a bad direction with poor leadership and ministry priorities.
Bishop Finn's more vocal defenders contribute nothing to the diocese's practical unity as long as a significant portion of the community think the man should go. And there are concerns that the bishop's apology seems ambivalent. Fr Matthew Brumleve:
Some say he has made that apology, he has said he's sorry, but he hasn't told us what he's sorry for. Is he sorry he got caught? Is he sorry we don't see things the way he sees them? Or is he truly sorry for letting down the children of this diocese?
Others think Bishop Finn has satisfied. Fr Angelo Bartulica:
I believe he's accepted responsibility for what happened and he's paying the price for it. I don't understand what more people want.
Let me start a list: sincerity, contrition for specific offenses and the acknowledgement that children were harmed, and that faith has been damaged by scandal, a concession that this is a serious scandal, a disavowal of defenders who perpetrate myths about pornography, an open discussion about what his resignation would accomplish. Bishop Finn will need to symbolic leadership in the range of the witness given by many of his brother bishops of the previous, discredited generation: lifestyle choices and liturgical choices, plus a public ritual not unlike the one given by Archbishop Martin in Dublin.
Otherwise, I suppose I'm content to see him remain in office for what should be sixteen years with a far less effective ministry than it could have been. And if his agenda was more ideological than spiritual, maybe that's not a bad situation. Too bad that a new Kansas City high school is looking at cutting fundraising expectations 62%. Too bad that sins of exploitation and sex have become a snicker and comedy material. In 2007, I think the bishop was right to focus on the scourge of pornography in the lives of men. I don't find that effort at all sneer-worthy. Too bad it was limited to the sins of lay people in their homes. Maybe if it included a look at the burdens and temptations within Holy Orders, this episcopacy would have turned out far differently.
Another object lesson in speck, plank, eye. Something we all need to keep in mind. Does Kansas City have a bishop who can lead that mindfulness? And if you think Bishop Finn is the man, why would that be?

Pardon our dust while we update this corner of the website.
With its gleaming rows of windows, bright interior, and twin cathedral-like entrances, the landmark Art Deco building on Fairmount and Pennsylvania avenues was called "the Gateway to Fairmount Park" when it opened in 1927 as the headquarters for the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company. It has now been dramatically recast in a new role as the gateway to the future for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the first phase of a master plan to expand and modernize the Museum.
Set within a lively urban neighborhood, commanding a spectacular view of Fairmount Park, and just across the street from the main building, the new galleries and study centers showcase some of the Museum's most comprehensive, colorful, and cutting-edge collections. In addition, the new spaces offer a variety of other wonderful new amenities. Among them are a library open to the public and offering a wealth of resources, including ever-changing displays of rare books, precious documents, and graphic arts; a café overlooking a landscaped terrace; a new bookstore; a soaring skylit walkway; and a succession of other spaces in which to stroll, linger, and explore the visual arts.
The building occupies a two-acre site bordered by Pennsylvania and Fairmount Avenues and 25th and 26th Streets in Philadelphia. It faces the main Museum building across Kelly Drive and is among the most distinctive architectural structures along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, featuring one of the city's most elaborate Art Deco facades.
In 2001, Gluckman Mayner Architects was selected for the Perelman project. In October 2004, following a groundbreaking celebration for its donors, the major construction began in earnest and the original building was expanded by a 59,000-square-foot addition. As a focus for learning, connoisseurship, and sheer enjoyment of works of art, the Perelman Building is an important catalyst for the Philadelphia region's ongoing cultural renaissance.
In style, it reflects the moment of transition from early twentieth-century historicism to the geometric Art Deco design of the 1920s and 1930s. Originally the headquarters of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company (until 1972), the building featured a polychrome facade adorned with Egyptian-inspired sculpture of flora and fauna symbolizing attributes of insurance: the owl of wisdom, the dog of fidelity, the pelican of charity, the opossum of protection, and the squirrel of frugality. With numerous other reliefs such as the Seven Ages of Man and the Perils of Land, Sea, and Air on the Earth's Four Great Continents, the Perelman Building remains the most elaborately sculpted facade of any twentieth-century building in the city of Philadelphia.
>Constructed of Indiana limestone highlighted with color and gilding, the Perelman Building's north and south pavilions are joined by a soaring, arched main entrance facing the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, a celebrated example of Philadelphia's inspired urban planning of which the building was designed to be an integral part. In 1973, the structure was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1980 in the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.
The Perelman Building is located at the intersection of Fairmount and Pennsylvania Avenues, just across from the Museum's main building. It occupies a trapezoid-shaped, two-acre site; the original structure contained 125,000 square feet of interior space.
Original Architects
The Perelman Building was designed by Zantzinger, Borie, and Medary who, together with architects Horace Trumbauer and Julian Abele, also designed the Museum's main building, which was completed in 1928. Leon Solon, the scholar who advised the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the color scheme of its celebrated glazed terracotta decoration and pediment, also served as color advisor for the Perelman Building.
Current Ownership
Like the main building, the Rodin Museum, and two historic houses in Fairmount Park—Mount Pleasant and Cedar Grove—the Ruth and Raymond G. Perelman Building is owned by the City of Philadelphia.

Many ask, Where does it say "Rapture" in the Bible. It's everywhere in the Holy Bible, and one must use Spiritual Eyes to see. Notice It doesn't say "Bible" in the Bible, but Guess what the Bible is called, "BIBLE."
The Bible ushers many words for Rapture…
Caught up, changed, spare, spring forth, keep, hid, escape, taken, taken away, deliver, delivered, delivereth, saved, keep thee, receive, meet, rescueth, appear, appearing, translated, gathered etc. As you can see, there's different words for Rapture.
The English Holy Bible (KJV) ushers the word "caught up" for the Rapture, as shared in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. The Holy Bible king james version (KJV) is as the 7 seventh purification Psalm 12:6-7. Also the powerful name JEHOVAH is shared 7 seven times in the Holy Bible (KJV) Exodus 6:3
Rapture, as the Latin word for Caught up.
At the Rapture, The Saved, Born Again New Creatures will be caught up in the air, Translated into the clouds, In a moment in time (Twinkling of an Eye) To join the Lord Jesus Christ in the air.
Harpazo (har-pad-zo) is the Greek word that the New Testament shares as caught up (Rapture).
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be (caught up) together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
High calling as upward invitation
Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the (high calling) of God in Christ Jesus.
The high calling of God in Christ Jesus." In the Greek, the words "high calling" can also be translated as "upward invitation." Philippians 3:14
The word (From) in Greek is as "out of" (Greek word, ek)
The Bride of Christ
Revelation 3:10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee (from, Greek, ek- out of) The (hour, Greek, hora- season) of (temptation, Greek, peirasmos- adversity or tribulation) which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
The prerequisite to receiving the promise in this scripture is to patiently keep His Word or put another way, to be a consistent doer of the Word, full of faith.
There are many wonderful benefits to being the Bride of Christ, but the one that is mentioned in the scripture Revelation 3:10 certainly will be a welcome blessing.
The word (From) in Greek is as "out of" (Greek word, ek) Strong's Number: 1537 out of, away from.

Saved Now, and From (out of) The Tribulation.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and (keep you (from) evil. AMEN.
Psalm 121:7-8
The LORD shall preserve (thee (from) all) evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. AMEN.
2 Timothy 4:18
And (the Lord shall deliver me (from) every) evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. AMEN.
King Jesus Christ promises to keep us "from" or as the Greek word reads, "out of" the season of tribulation that is about to come upon the whole world to try all those that are left behind to dwell upon the earth.
Faith, Translated (Rapture)

Delivered us (From) Translated (Rapture)
Colossians 1:12-15
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.
13Who hath delivered us (from) the power of darkness, and hath (translated) us into the kingdom of his dear Son.
14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.
As by Faith Enoch was translated (Raptured)
Hebrews 11:5-7
By faith Enoch was (translated) that he should not see death,
and was not found, because God had (translated) him, for before his (translation) he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Loving the Lord, and Abiding in King Jesus Christ, Who helps us stay away from (out of) temptation now, and out of tribulation (The word Temptation in Greek is as, peirasmos- adversity or tribulation). Read Revelation 3:10, and Matthew 6:9-15
Matthew 6:9-15
After this manner therefore pray ye, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us (from) evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
1 Chronicles 4:10
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me (from) evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. AMEN.
Psalm 37:40
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them (from) the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. AMEN.
Psalm 106:10
And he saved them (from) the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them (from) the hand of the enemy. AMEN.
Isaiah 57:1
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that (the righteous is taken away (from) the evil to come. AMEN.
God rescued the Righteous (Noah, and his family. Lot, and his family) prior to his Judgment (Wrath) on those Left Behind. Just as us Saved, Born Again (New Creatures) Rapture before the Tribulation (Wrath)
Isaiah 26:20-21
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity, the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
