Fire (the Pointer Sisters' version)
This is truly an action card. Fire up your adrenaline and get going. What are you waiting for? Remove any obstacles and go forward. Allow a living brilliance to awaken in you and tend it carefully. Let the fire spark new interests. Get in touch with your burning desires and manifest them in your life. Yet keep in mind, a fire out of control can be destructive. Get jazzed. Let your light shine. Allow your spirit to be free. Perhaps it is time to light the flame of love? This is often a card of purification, for clearing and cleansing body, mind and spirit. See it as a shedding of negativity. Sometimes when this card is drawn there is suppressed anger in a situation that needs to be expressed in a constructive way. We all have our fire to walk through. Life sometimes brings great challenges. Often the fire card can precede a difficult situation, a hot spot. It is encouraging you to move away from the heat so you can see more clearly. Being aware helps you get through the danger with the least amount of pain and hurt. Look at the larger picture. Perhaps you are being pushed out of your comfort zone for a reason.
Wicked, huh?
Happy Friday, all!!
Love, Bridg

You Taught Me How to Love
inspired by billy
falling in love in my late teens, i thought i knew everything i needed to know.
i thought those movies where the girl falls in love with the boy and she'd fight for his attention until they'd kiss under the sunset and dance in the rain portrayed what real love was. all smiles and bright eyes.
but love, love is shouting at each other after you've both had one too many shots and the night has drawn on.
it's late night heart to hearts where it feels as though your heart really has become lighter by each choked out whisper.
it's holding hands and sneaking quick kisses at public events. trying to hide your public display of affection because nobody smiles and applauds like they do in the movies. but sometimes you just don't care. you just want your love to be admired because to you, it's the most beautiful thing in the world.
i have watched and learned from witnessing the love around me how i should give and receive love. i am lucky and i am thankful that i have been taught what real love is supposed to look like.
• arguments are healthy.
• don't hold grudges.
• don't let the devil sit on your shoulder and convince you to push away those who care.
love is reckless and crazy… but f*** it is definitely worth all the temporary heartache you go through to be able to have your heart feel so full and your smile hit your eyes every time you see the person who has lit up your life.
i fell in love at nineteen with a boy 1 year my elder but whose soul shared mine as if we had been born at the same time.
our hearts beat together in sync.
i love being in love.
Charlotte Berry is a 20-year-old bibliophile who finds comfort in writing her messy and sometimes incoherent thoughts down until her mind is clear and calm. She adores her dog, Theodore Finch (named after her favourite book character), and loves chocolate buttons that her boyfriend frequently buys for her when she is down. This piece is inspired by her soul mate and the love of her life who she feels incredibly lucky to have found. "I love you, Billy."

I chose this video because I like the palette of colours, greens,blues and whites. Also I think that the video has made good use of the song lyrics and the narrative of it. There is a range of slow and fast past cuts which goes well with the music. There is a range of different camera movement and angles also, which include establishing shots, close ups, medium, long and tacking, are just some of the shots that have been used in this video. Close ups are a key point to the video, particully of the lead singer as she is put in the spot light more, which takes the importance of the dancers out of the equation. The way that the dancers are dressed in military uniforms is similar to 18th century based costumes, also the horse at the start and the guns have a relation to the lyrics of '' we've got our guns and horses''. Though because it is more of a pop track there are no musical or live performance, but the dancers perform a routine to the music, which amplifies it in a way with how it has been choreographed to the music it isn't any random dance. I like the effects of the mist, it is sort of like smoke from a fire which again can relate to the lyrics. ''I know you've been burnt, but every fire is a lesson learnt''. The lighting is quite dim with lots of high contrast, though the singer is highlighted at times to bring her out more. Again relating to the lyrics '' cause I'm standing in the dark''.The lighting is quite dark in a manner of some areas of the video, which does relate back to the lyrics and at that point of time her surroundings are black/navy colours, which are dark.
The opening scene is 3 clips, establishing the location of a forest and of course a horse, the first visual that relates to the title of the song. I like how each clip changes at the change of the guitar playing, it puts emphasis on the transition between the clips. Which then a sharp transition into a clip that is an opening were the artist is standing, that is an establishing shot, slowly moving towards her, which the movement of the camera is in time of the music. The slow movement of the camera emphasis the lyrics ''you move so fast, makes me feel lazy'' .
I like how in some of the video it looks like she is looking for something which builds up to this big climax were suddenly she finds what she is looking for and then the flowers start to rise. Which makes it magical in a scene. '' its time that we found out who we are'', The visual relates to her searching about in the forest, like she is trying to find herself metaphorically. When it comes to the climax, the camera angle is tilting up which makes her seem more important, also the way that she is holding her hands up and her tilting her head up emphasises the music.
There are a lot more close ups of the singer than the dancers, this is the iconography of the singer. Also she is lip syncing quite a lot through the video which shows a lot of her passion through the video. Also she does it in most of her videos so this is a main concept for the singer. Because she is quite a indie pop genre of music so can dance to it but not as mental as you would be if it was a dance/electro track. I like the tracking shots of the singer as you can see is trying to look for something.
This video has been quite stylised with the dancers wearing 18th century like military uniforms and shots with them with guns and swords in some clips in the video. Also they have white skin and quite dark eyes like they are dead but come back alive. They start dancing at the chorus which is when the song really kicks in. There are clips were a dancer does a solo piece with a sward/gun which puts emphasis on the whole military style of the video to make it a bit old fashioned. The first time the chorus is sung the female group dance, a second time is just the males and then at the end they all come together, which balances it out nicely, as it represents both genders as a whole to be aimed at the audience. The way that the singer is styled is different and more modern to now, which makes her stand out. The checked shirt, black leggings and boots, is rather a representation of the indie style. As she is dressed differently it shows that she is more of the key point of the video.
The last point I want to make is the whole lighting as it does look quite natural. At the start when we first see the singer, there are rays of sun light coming through the trees, almost creating a spotlight for the singer. Also adds to the nice forest landscape, which creates an almost eerie feeling. When the camera is tracking is like the light is following her as she is stepping through the forest. Also in the dancing scenes the light shining through the trees does create nice spotlights on the ground which do highlight them. Another point in the video that i think is important value for the whole lighting of the video is when the climax happens, you can see the sun beaming through and creating a direct spotlight on her which does emphasis the moment.
Music and Visuals
I like how the video has been stylised in a way to the 18th century military, like I have mentioned before as it does link in a way to the lyrics by it being guns and horses and how she is fighting for someone back. The cuts of each clip goes in time with the music, some clips are fast than others which is effective. Especially when going backward and forwards from each clip, which I find effective.At the beginning there is a white horse and it pops up again at 1:28 reminding us that it has relevance to the video, but it is disguised by the white mist.
They have done a good job in mixing the two styles together which are indie and pop, though indie is more mellow than what pop is when the artists are more jumping about and have a choreographed dance for them selves. But with this video the singer does her own thing, getting really into the heart of the song, as she looks like she is putting everything into it. Whilst the dancers are dancing a well choreographed dance, which looks to me that they are trying to tell the lyrics through the dancing as well, which I think is effective as it doesn't make the dancing seem pointless and only there for show to make the video more appealing to it's audience.
Like I have mentioned a couple times, the genre is Indie Pop and I think it is represented well in this video. The forest is quite mellow, which make it calm in a relaxing way but there is added quirkyness to the video with the dancers and the singer doing there own thing. The singer is dress in an indie style manner so it fits in with her own singing style. Green, blues, blacks and whites is the sort of colour palette of an indie style. There isn't any instruments as they are rather irrelevant with how they wouldn't fit in with the pop side of it.The dancing is quite contemporary as the movements try to imitate the lyrics of the song, so it isn't full on jumping about fast paste movements, though does give that pop element to it.
Shot types and Iconography
The close up shots of the singer is really good way of communicating her to the viewer as a way of advertising the song. I like the use of the tracking shots when it looks like she is trying to find something and is wondering about the forest, which gives the video that eerie feeling, with the effect of the fog lurking about. When the dancers come in, the camera is still focusing on the singer, keeping her central to the composition of the shot. There are scenes were the angle of the camera changes. An important angle is when it is at a low angle from the floor, making the singer look more powerful and important. I also like how the camera circles around as I think it is a good way of emphasising the shot.
There is partially some voyeurism in this video. Just the female dancers are wearing short shorts which shows off a lot of leg, which would grab a males attention to the video certainly. Apart from that it is all clean and pretty serious in a way that the video has been shot. Also the dancing between the two genders at the end is pretty much clean as there is no booty shaking just contemporary dancing, almost imitating the 18th century way of dancing.

I work with a lot of old men :(
We just had the results of an HR survey back in my dept. Turns out that there are only 6.1% of us aged up to 25yrs in this dept(I'm still in the bracket 'til April). Just under half of the office are over 45! Oh and there are 89.8% men to 10.2% female.
I have options . . . . maybe I like old men.
i work with a load of women
they're slowly turning me into a middle aged lady, i'm starting to become very knowledgable about diets and I'm learning who the hunks are in the company
I wish I worked with you
Traynor. I reckon you'd fit right in.


text: So I am hopefully almost back off the IC - probably going to do Aqua Zumba tonight rather than try running yet as my right ankle is still a bit swollen and sore, though the left one is almost back to normal. A symptom checker from a running website suggests it is probably mild tendonitis, so I am icing it as often as possible. I've been reading up on different brands of shoe, and On Cloudster sound a good shoe for beginners with wide feet (definitely me!). Cloudsurfer get good reviews too, but sound to be for more experienced runners. I'm planning a gait test on Thursday as by sheer fluke I will be near a Sweatshop, but just wondered if anyone had tried this brand? It apparently works for all gaits because of the way it works, so may be worth my considering it whatever I turn out to be - my father used to joke I needed to wear shoeboxes not shoes because my feet are so broad!

Surgery Checklist Lowers Death Rate
Thursday, January 15, 2009
Surgical teams that followed a basic cockpit-style checklist in the operating room, from confirming the patient's name to discussing expected blood loss, reduced the rate of deaths and complications by more than a third, according to a year-long, eight-nation project being released today.
Surgeons, it seems, are discovering what airline pilots learned decades ago: The human brain can't remember everything, so it's best to focus on the complicated challenges and leave the simple reminders to a cheat sheet.
"You take something as complex as surgery, and you think there isn't a lot that can be done to make it better," said Atul Gawande, a Boston physician who led the study being published in the New England Journal of Medicine. "A checklist seems like a no-brainer, but the size of the benefit is dramatic."
The low-cost, low-tech intervention tested in eight hospitals around the globe could have enormous financial implications, as well. If every operating room in the United States adopted the surgical checklist, the nation could save between $15 billion and $25 billion a year on the costs of treating avoidable complications, according to calculations by the authors.
In the one-year pilot study involving 7,600 patients, the hospitals saw the rate of serious complications fall from 11 percent to 7 percent. Inpatient deaths declined by more than 40 percent overall, with the most drastic reductions occurring in hospitals with fewer resources.
More than 234 million surgeries are performed worldwide each year, with between 3 and 17 percent resulting in major complications such as a life-threatening infection. In the United States, the average surgical complication costs $12,000 to treat, though as many as half are preventable, according to several studies over the past 15 years.
Even as modern medicine becomes increasingly sophisticated, "we're not great at doing the simple things all the time," said Gawande, a surgeon at Boston's Brigham and Women's hospital and a medical writer for the New Yorker magazine.
For the study, which was prompted by the World Health Organization and co-sponsored by the Harvard School of Public Health, hospitals in eight countries adopted a 19-step checklist in non-cardiac surgeries. The project involved rural and urban hospitals with diverse populations in cities such as Seattle, London, New Delhi, Manila and Ifakara, Tanzania.
According to the checklist, before an operation begins, the team members introduce themselves, review the patient's name and the procedure to be performed. They discuss allergies, confirm that all equipment has been sterilized and necessary antibiotics administered, and assess potential problems such as blood loss. After the surgery but before the patient leaves the operating room, the team returns to the checklist, labeling specimens and ensuring that all equipment has been removed from the patient.
Though the steps are routine, an astonishing number of doctors and nurses miss at least one, Gawande said.
"If you miss a few percent here and a few percent there, it adds up," he said. The central premise of a checklist "is making sure that nothing is missed. It's an all-or-none phenomenon."
"I cannot recall a clinical care innovation in the past 30 years that has shown results of the magnitude demonstrated by the surgical checklist," said Donald Berwick, the physician president of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, which promotes high-quality advances in the delivery of care. "This is a change ready right now for adoption by every hospital that performs surgery."
Very few U.S. hospitals are using the surgical safety checklist, though Berwick aims to introduce it in the 4,000 hospitals participating in his institute's programs.
The major barrier to widespread adoption is physician attitudes, several experts said.
"If you ask surgeons, they'll say, 'Oh, we do this stuff,' " Gawande said. He himself was skeptical that the checklist would affect the eight to 10 operations he performs each week.
"I don't get through a week where it has not caught something," he said. Running through the list reminded him of one patient's allergy and prompted his anesthesiologist to prepare for an unusually large amount of blood loss, which could have been fatal.
One of the most effective ways to market the checklist to doctors is to collect data on their performance, said David Flum, a surgeon at the University of Washington Medical Center, which took part in the study. Once they see how they stack up against their peers, physicians are quick to adapt, he said.
A case in point: Doctors universally say they know the importance of monitoring a diabetic patient's blood sugar levels during surgery. Yet the easy but lifesaving check does not take place in 10 percent of patients, he said.
The few minutes it takes to read down a checklist "are well worth it in order to save a patient from having a horrible complication," Flum said.
Peter Pronovost, the father of medical checklists agreed but offered a cautionary note.
Checklists "aren't like Harry Potter's magic wand," said Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins physician who in 2001 devised a checklist to help prevent intravenous line infections. By using that checklist, 70 hospitals in Michigan have virtually eliminated those infections. Items on a checklist must be "evidence based," properly tested and followed rigorously, he said.
Operations today typically include a "timeout" to review safety measures, yet complications persist, he said. Even with the attention given the pilot project, "the omission of individual steps was still frequent," the authors of the WHO study acknowledged.
Pronovost was skeptical of the study's reported huge drop in post-surgery deaths, and observed that the study did not reveal equally dramatic improvements in sub-categories such as pneumonia.
"If something looks too good to be true, it may well be," he said in an interview.
But Gawande and Flum said they think the improvements came from the intangible benefits of having doctors and nurses work as a team, communicating every step of the way. "You can't really measure the benefit of having the surgeon and anesthesiologist talking to each other and coordinating care," Flum said.
Several nations and at least five states, including Washington, are launching programs to promote widespread use of a checklist. As Flum put it: "When I have an operation, please use a checklist on me."

Monday's news that Asia had received top marks in the 2014 global education index was received warmly right across Asia, and by many of us in the development community too.
Asian countries - led by South Korea- came out top in the Global Index of Cognitive Skills and Educational Attainment, published in the Learning Curve 2014 report, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit and published by global learning company Pearson, which compares the educational attainment of 39 countries.
This result is of particular importance to the development community because notably it wasn't that long ago that South Korea was deemed a 'developing country'. The huge progress in South Korea has been remarkable and down to a combination of good national governance, innovation and international community support. In fact, South Korea is still the only country to move from being reliant on overseas aid to being a donor itself .
As we approach the Global Partnership for Education's (GPE) replenishment conference later this month, the next few weeks will be critical in convincing the UK government to support global education so that other countries can, like South Korea, drive down the number of children out of school and reduce poverty levels. Education is a key driver to so many of our development goals that any reduction in global funding could have a devastating impact on rates of violence, teen pregnancy and even early and forced marriage - one of this governments priorities.
In many ways education is the centrepiece of global development - continued progress in this area could see global poverty reduced by almost 12% and a child born to a literate mother has a 50% better chance of survival past their 5th birthday . Progress is steady but there are still 57 million children across the world without access to primary education and 69 children without access to early secondary education.
In the past the UK has shown incredible leadership on the issue and must do so again. At Global Citizen, we've teamed up with RESULTS UK and Plan UK to form the 'Write to Learn' campaign to advocate for renewed funding to the Global Partnership for Education -the only global organisation dedicated solely to tackling the global education crisis.
We've been asking our friends and supporters, including Australia's Former Prime Minister and new chair of GPE, Julia Gillard, to tell us what they achieved #BecauseOfSchool.
You can support the Write to Learn campaign by taking our email action on the Global Citizen website - www.globalcitizen.org/writetolearn

text: On May 26, the Department of Education announced the release of reports on its reviews of four major federal student loan servicers, which were conducted to ensure that the servicers adhered to federal law concerning loan interest rates for active-duty servicemembers. Specifically, the Department aspired to determine whether eligible borrowers of eligible Family Federal Education Loans (FFEL) and Direct Loans received the benefit of the 6 percent interest rate cap provided by the SCRA in accordance with applicable statutes and the Department's regulations and guidance. The reviews considered servicemembers' SCRA eligibility between 2009 and 2014, and showed that "in less than 1 percent of cases, borrowers were incorrectly denied the 6 percent interest rate cap required by the laws." In addition to these reviews, the Department will be "expanding its review of compliance with the SCRA and HEA to the Department's seven non-profit servicers as well as commercial [FFEL] servicers," with completion expected later this year. The Department's reviews follow a May 2014 DOJ settlement with one of the four student loan servicers.

Silicon Trust meets Egyptian government
Members of the Silicon Trust met with representatives of the Egyptian government's Ministry of State for Administrative Development led by Tarek Saad Badr, program director, National Databases Program at the Cardex trade show in Cairo last week.
During the talks, the government outlined its plans for an eHealth programme that it expects to bring online in the next few years. "The government realises that due to the complexity of a national eHealth program, significant research is necessary before it can launch a programme for the benefit of all its citizens," says Detlef Houdeau, Infineon Technologies' representative for the Silicon Trust. "However, it has taken serious steps towards making such a scheme a reality, and we look forward to engaging with the government over the coming months to help its procurement plans move forward."
"The Middle East is a very dynamic market for secure-based technologies," says Dr. Houdeau. "From biometrics used for national ID cards across the Gulf region to EMV cards used for payment as well as a host of other applications, the region offers numerous opportunities for card and biometric-based suppliers. It is pleasing to see that the Egyptian government is keen to add its name to the list of states providing enhanced digital services to its citizens."
"The number of [smart card-based] deployments is growing year-on-year in both Europe and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) area," says Dr Houdeau. "However, there are still challenges for the industry. We need to develop, qualify and certify the security microcontrollers for each market – and they must be ready in time for governments to deploy them. Furthermore, the industry needs to support every level of the value chain: from software development companies to system integrators and border control manufacturers. We must continue to foster field trials, interoperability and conformity tests, and ensure that cardholder security is maintained at all times."
Silicon Trust members present at Cardex included reader manufacturer DUALi, smart card manufacturers Trüb, Giesecke & Devrient, and Gemalto, consultants HJP Consulting and ID document printer SAFE ID Solutions.

A overlooked warning: Causation with out correlation
Usually individuals who perform multivariate statistical analyses on info are unaware of particular restrictions. Many moments this is owing to absence of familiarity with statistical checks. One warning we do see a lot even though is: Correlation does not suggest causation. This is, of course, definitely correct. If you consider my excess weight from 1 to twenty many years of age, and the price tag of gasoline in the US for the duration of that period, you will uncover that they are extremely correlated. But typical feeling tells me that there is no causation by any means amongst these two variables.
So correlation does not indicate causation alright, but there is an additional warning that is seldom observed: There can be strong causation with no any correlation. Of course this can guide to even more bizarre conclusions than the "correlation does not imply causation" difficulty. If there is sturdy causation amongst variables B and Y, and it is not demonstrating as a correlation, yet another variable A could "jump in" and "steal" that "unused correlation" so to talk.
The chain smokers "study"
To illustrate this stage, let us take into account the following fictitious case, a research of "100 cities". The study focuses on the result of using tobacco and genes on lung cancer mortality. Smoking cigarettes substantially will increase the probabilities of dying from lung most cancers it is a really robust causative aspect. Right here are a number of much more specifics. Among 35 and forty % of the population are chain smokers. And there is a genotype (a set of genes), identified in a tiny percentage of the populace (all around seven per cent), which is protective against lung cancer. All of those who are chain smokers die from lung cancer unless of course they die from other causes (e.g., mishaps). Dying from other causes is a lot more typical between individuals who have the protective genotype.
(I developed this fictitious knowledge with these associations in head, making use of equations. I also extra uncorrelated mistake into the equations, to make the data appear a little bit far more practical. For illustration, random deaths transpiring early in life would reduce marginally any numeric association among chain smoking cigarettes and cancer fatalities in the sample of a hundred metropolitan areas.)
The table under displays portion of the information, and presents an notion of the distribution of proportion of people who smoke (People who smoke), share with the protective genotype (Pgenotype), and percentage of lung most cancers deaths (MLCancer). (Click on on it to enlarge. Use the "CRTL" and "+" keys to zoom in, and CRTL" and "-" to zoom out.) Every single row corresponds to a metropolis. The relaxation of the data, up to row a hundred, has a similar distribution.
The graphs under show the distribution of lung most cancers fatalities from: (a) the proportion of people who smoke, at the top and (b) the percentage with the protective genotype, at the bottom. Correlations are demonstrated at the best of each and every graph. (They can range from -one to 1. The nearer they are to -1 or 1, the much better is the affiliation, unfavorable or constructive, between the variables.) The correlation among lung most cancers fatalities and percentage of people who smoke is a bit negative and statistically insignificant (-.087). The correlation amongst lung most cancers fatalities and proportion with the protective genotype is negative, robust, and statistically substantial (-.613).
Even although smoking considerably boosts the odds of dying from lung most cancers, the correlations notify us or else. The correlations notify us that lung most cancers does not seem to cause lung cancer fatalities, and that obtaining the protective genotype would seem to substantially reduce cancer deaths. Why?
If there is no variation, there is no correlation
The reason is that the "researchers" gathered info only about chain smokers. That is, the variable "Smokers" contains only chain people who smoke. If this was not a fictitious situation, focusing the research on chain people who smoke could be seen as a clever method used by researchers funded by tobacco firms. The researchers could say something like this: "We targeted our examination on people most probably to produce lung cancer." Or, this could have been the end result of simple stupidity when creating the analysis venture.
By limiting their review to chain people who smoke the scientists drastically diminished the variability in one specific variable: the extent to which the examine individuals smoked. Without having variation, there can be no correlation. No issue what statistical check or computer software is used, no substantial affiliation will be discovered amongst lung most cancers deaths and percentage of people who smoke dependent on this dataset. No subject what statistical check or computer software is employed, a substantial and sturdy affiliation will be located in between lung cancer fatalities and proportion with the protective genotype.
Of system, this could lead to a very deceptive conclusion. Smoking cigarettes does not trigger lung cancer the real lead to is genetic.
A be aware about diet program
Consider the analogy amongst smoking cigarettes and usage of a specific foods, and you will almost certainly see what this indicates for the analysis of observational data relating to nutritional alternatives and condition. This applies to nearly any observational review, like the China Research. (Research employing experimental manage manipulations would presumably guarantee ample variation in the variables studied.) In the China Research, information from dozens of counties had been gathered. A single could discover a important association among usage of foodstuff A and disease Y.
There may possibly be a significantly more powerful affiliation amongst meals B and condition Y, but that affiliation may possibly not demonstrate up in statistical analyses at all, just due to the fact there is little variation in the information regarding use of foods B. For case in point, all people sampled may possibly have eaten meals B about the exact same quantity. Or none. Or somewhere in between, in a fairly little range of variation.
Statistical illiteracy, bad choices, and taxation
Stats is a "necessary evil". It is valuable to go from modest samples to huge ones when we study any possible causal affiliation. By carrying out so, one particular can uncover out no matter whether an observed result really applies to a bigger percentage of the populace, or is actually restricted to a modest group of people. The issue is that we humans are very negative at inferring real associations from merely hunting at massive tables with numbers. We require statistical exams for that.
However, ignorance about fundamental statistical phenomena, this kind of as the 1 described listed here, can be pricey. A group of people might get rid of foodstuff A from their diet regime dependent on coefficients of association resulting from what seem to be very intelligent analyses, changing it with food B. The difficulty is that foods B may be similarly hazardous, or even a lot more damaging. And, that result could not display up on statistical analyses unless they have sufficient variation in the intake of meals B.
Readers of this weblog may ponder why we explicitly use terms like "suggests" when we refer to a partnership that is advised by a important coefficient of association (e.g., a linear correlation). This is why, between other motives.
One particular does not have to be a mathematician to recognize standard statistical concepts. And carrying out so can be really useful in one's existence in common, not only in diet program and life style selections. Even in easy options, these kinds of as what to be on. We are often betting on anything. For illustration, any expense is in essence a guess. Some results are considerably far more probable than others.
As soon as I experienced an exciting dialogue with a higher-level officer of a condition federal government. I was element of a consulting team functioning on an details engineering task. We were speaking about the point out lottery, which was a huge resource of income for the state, evaluating it with state taxes. He advised me something to this influence:
Our lottery is basically a tax on the statistically illiterate.

Judge Carol E. Higbee, who is overseeing the mass tort centralization of the nearly 3,500 lawsuits filed in New Jersey, has issued a court order preparing eight Accutane lawsuits for jury selection beginning October 11, 2011. Jury selection will begin in four other Accutane cases January 9, 2010.
Top selling Accutane, generic name isotretinoin, a synthetic vitamin formulation that is used to treat moderate to severe acne, earns manufacturer Hoffman La Roche an estimated $1.2 billion in annual sales. Side effects of Accutane have been linked to serious gastrointestinal side effects, including inflammatory bowel disease, which can lead to painful conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and even cause damage to other internal organs.
Octobers trial will involved plaintiffs with similar circumstances with at least three of the plaintiffs having used Accutane after April 2002, while the January trial includes cases of plaintiffs who used Accutane before April 2002.
Millions of dollars in damages have been awarded in these early bellwether trials, where seven of nine juries have presented verdicts in favor of the plaintiffs.
At least 150 people have filed Accutane lawsuits in New Jersey in the past month, and the number is expected to continue to grow as previous Accutane users continue to be diagnosed with bowel related problems.

You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Weather Vane Blows
As I believe I've made clear before, the last remnants of the soul of the Republican party will be chopped up and fed to the hounds of hell if they put up McCain or Giuliani in '08 (or any candidate that appeared at the last GOP prez debate whose name wuz not Ron Paul). The same can be said for the Dems if they put up Hillary. Here's the proof. If you think Senator Clinton has any convictions at all when it comes to Iraq...THEN WAKE THE FUCK UP!

You have no items in your shopping cart.
You have a choice. You can drink your tea or coffee from an 'I Love Kittens' or 'Go Packers' mug, or you can help save the world with this Global Warming Mug. Of course, not everyone wants to be reminded of planet-wide catastrophe during their afternoon coffee break. But if you're the type of person who confronts difficult issues even during your downtime, you should consider getting one. When you pour in hot liquid, the mug shows what will happen when the Polar Ice Caps melt - Before your very eyes, coastlines shrink and ocean levels rise, Florida dissolves and Central America all but vanishes. So show you care and buy a Global Warming Mug -- it won't fix the problem, but it will illustrate it in a really cool way. 3 1/4" diameter, 10oz. Disappearing mugs are not dishwasher safe.

After bidding a tearful goodbye, ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions "hopped on a sleigh back to the North Pole, where he will only have seven weeks to finish making all of those toys," Trevor Noah joked on Thursday's Daily Show. "Yeah, gotta make toys for all those kids he put in cages — too soon?" The audience suggested yes. "Since Sessions is gone, let's focus on the man who's replacing him," Matt Whitaker, Noah said.
Whitaker was a tight end for the University of Iowa, a federal prosecutor for five years, and a failed Senate candidate in 2014, Noah said. Oh, and "there is one other thing about Whitaker that probably makes him the perfect pick for President Trump: He shares a similar passion for business ethics." That passion is low, of course — a company Whitaker helped lead shut down after paying a $26 million federal fine for fraud. "How's America going to hire who scams hot-tub inventors as its top cop?" Noah asked. "That seems like a real conflict of interest to me."
Whitaker was also a fixture on CNN, making one specific argument: Kneecap Special Counsel Robert Mueller. "So the guy who's now in charge of the Mueller investigation was on CNN over a dozen times s–t-talking Mueller and his investigation," Noah said. Well, it turns out that was a "devious and so impressive" a scam, too. "He knew that Trump spends all day watching CNN, so he wasn't just trash-talking Mueller for no reason, he was trying to lure the president in," he said. "But Whitaker's plan to get Trump's attention on TV worked even better than he expected, because all he wanted was to be a judge in Iowa and now he's the acting attorney general. That's like applying to be a cashier at Ross Dress for Less and then they're like, 'Forget cashier, you're Ross!'" Dulcé Sloan also offered her thoughts. Watch below. Peter Weber

As was reported earlier last week, Emirates launches new flights to the US city of New York, at Newark airport. The airline, which has aggressively expanded in the US, is adding another destination to its network. The airline currently flies to twelve destinations in the US & Canada. They fly a mix of 777s and A380s on their routes across the Atlantic. With the addition of Newark, the airline will have 13 destinations. Yet, this route has sparked ire from US carriers, especially United and Delta.
How is the Flight Routed?
The flight is unusual to all but one flight in the US operated by Emirates. The case is that Emirates will fly from Dubai to Newark via Athens. The airline will have Fifth Freedom Rights to transport passengers between Athens and Newark. This has made the two airlines that fly to Athens from the New York area very irate. Delta Airlines, whose CEO has allied himself with Trump in favor of protectionist policies, flies from JFK to Athens. United, who is also in favor of protectionism, flies from EWR to Athens.
The route comes as direct competition to both airlines. But there is one major issue the US-based airlines have not addressed: they both fly seasonally. Their flights to Athens only operate during the summer months. This means that Emirates would be the only year-round carrier between the US and Greece. American also flies to Athens, from Philadelphia, and it is also a seasonal route. The US carriers, who have for months been protesting the Gulf Big 3's expansion are without a convincing argument, in my opinion.
What aircraft will fly this route?
The airline plans to fly the route with a 3-class 777-300ER. The aircraft has 8 first class suites, 42 angled-flat seats in business, and 304 economy seats. The aircraft offers the same first class cabin as the A380, without the amenities of a shower or a premium cabin bar. The same aircraft flies to all US destinations except LAX and SFO. The airline hopes to target passengers who travel between the US and Greece with this flight, as well as passengers who will continue on to Dubai.
What is the issue?
The main issue with these Fifth Freedom Rights is that the airline can now carry passengers between the US and Europe, denting the US legacy airlines' transatlantic profits. They currently face competition from other legacy carriers, and the newer LCCs like Norwegian and WOW Air. Some of the European legacy carriers are inclined to even create their own LCCs to compete. American and the US carriers have decided to introduce Basic Economy to compete as well. With all this competition, the US carriers have been forced to lower prices, which means that consumers have benefited. Since their bottom lines are suffering, they are appealing to the government to place protectionist bans in order to boost prices up.
Landing Thoughts:
I was a bit surprised Emirates chose to go to Newark. This must be because of the recent relaxing of slot constraints at the airport. The airline has a quality lounge at JFK, but maybe it was cheaper to fly to Newark. I am very happy to see Emirates expand, given they offer a solid product in First Class and Economy. The airline could improve its business class, but that will take time as the airline begins to retrofit their fleet. Hopefully, we will see fares to Greece drop, and tourism increase to the country.
What do you think? Are you excited to see Emirates fly from Newark to Athens to Dubai? Have you ever flown Emirates? How was your experience?

The summer time and all of its sunny seasonal bliss is coming to a resounding end as the month of September rolls on. So pack away your short shorts and thigh bearing swim suits and brace yourself for what is to come: tailgate season.
The tailgate is a quintessential component of autumn; you could say it fits in quite snugly with apple pies, chlorophyll breaking down in leaves and the sudden influx of pumpkin themed décor. The people of America love their tailgate. They take pride in their protein dense delicacies created to complement a rip-roaring game of football. So to kickoff the beginning of a season of eating, delve into these regional favorites dished out at tailgates across America.
1. Chili- Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati holds the title as the "Chili Capital of America" with over 100 chili joints in the metro area alone. What sets this chili apart? Perhaps the eclectic mix of added flavors; Cincinnati chili contains traces of cinnamon, cocoa, allspice and Worcestershire. Beyond spices this chili also takes a twist to its serving. Rather than stopping at a sprinkle of cheese on the top, this chili is plopped onto a blanket of spaghetti and then generously topped with a thick layer of cheddar cheese. Touchdown.
2. Burgoo- East Kentucky
Burgoo is a spicy stew composed of a symphony of meats including, but not limited to: venison, squirrel, raccoon, game birds, pork, chicken or lamb. Add some veggies such as corn, potatoes or beans and a few essential spices and voila, a burgoo is born. The recipe varies from cook to cook, however most renditions agree that a good burgoo is thick enough to stand a spoon in it without any teetering. Add some bacon infused cornbread and you're burgoo experience is complete.
3. Barbacoa de Cabeza- Texas
Perhaps the most extreme renditions of tailgating festivities occur within the state boundaries of Texas. The motto Bigger is Better is exemplified by their tailgate specialty of Beef Barbacoa. A dish that consists of an entire head of a steer that is sprinkled with salt and pepper, lathered in a coat of cilantro and then propped on a pit and roasted in the ground until mouthwatering perfection. Slap the meat on a warm corn tortilla with a generous amount of guacamole and bite into one helluva a pregame taco.
4. Bacon wrapped Crow and Jalapeño morsels- Arkansas
Arkansas takes pride in it's down home cooking and flavors found in many of the state's dishes. Although Arkansas does not have one agreed upon state dish, it is known for combing the influences of its Southwest, South and Midwest neighbors. A wild finger-licking dish found in the Mountainside Ozark region of Arkansas are the bacon wrapped crow and jalapeño morsels, which are coated in brown sugar, splashed with soy sauce and grilled to a delectable crisp. It's the right kind of gamey for game-day.
5. Clam Chowder- New England
Clam chowder makes the tailgate list due to its intrinsically hearty blend of creaminess and smokiness all contained in one bacon-sprinkled bowl. The trifecta of potatoes, clams, and onions makes the base of this dish. Top it off with a layer of bacon bits and this New England favorite is ready for battle.
6. Cochon de Lait- Louisiana
The direct translation of this dish is not all that appetizing, Cochon de Lait, a French term, directly translates to suckling pig. Yes, this couple century old Louisiana favorite is made from a pig that still sucks on the teat of its mother, but if you can get past the initial shock of the inhumanity, I've heard it's quite delicious. The dish involves marinating for days, overnight roasting, and a final touch of eclectic spices including hot sauce, Worcestershire and blackening spice.
7. Buffalo Wings- New York
The city of Buffalo in New York boasts the origin of the ever-popular game-viewing snack that is the wing. Smothered in hot sauce, cooked over an open flame grill and dipped in salvation-inducing sauces makes the wing the by far champion of New York tailgate shindigs. Wing on.
There you have it, the seven wonders of the tailgate domain as interpreted by the many states of America. The dishes are daring, unique and most of all desirably delicious. Try one at your next tailgate, or stick to your own roasted regional plate because lets face it, nothing says tailgate more than home town pride. Happy gaming. Happy eating.

deer hunting

Happy Thanksgiving everyone ... I know there are some deer hunters out there ... let's see your photos so far this year .... Ski/Hunt shared one a few fridays ago
Here is Bruce's (14) buck from last evening .... he was in a tree stand in an open field of food plots ... he saw him walk out about 200+ yards then waited (patiently) for 30 minutes until he was 125 yards ... one shot from the Weatherby 240 mag loaded with 85 gr Barnes Triple Shock bullets dropped him in his tracks!
Needless to say it was a great day. Bruce passed a slightly smaller buck in the morning ... good hunter ...
Nice one!!..next time he needs and MC hat ;) ... venison for Christmas Dinner!!! good for you guys...
It's not a challenge unless they shoot back.:D

Now that the Hungry Ghost Festival has been going on for a week, we hope that you readers have stayed safe thus far. For part 2 of the taboos, we would be focusing on other stuff you ought to take note of for the Hungry Ghost Festival.
1. Be very careful when driving or crossing the roads during this month to avoid accidents.
If you have read our previous article about dangerous roads, you would know that there are certain stretches in Singapore that are really accident prone. In fact, one of those roads recently had another fatal accident (and that wasn't reported. We know, because we saw a sign recently erected there looking for eye-witnesses to that accident). In addition to that, there are also reports that state that during the 7th month, there are significantly more accidents, so depending on whether you would like to be safe or sorry: do take heed!
2. Avoid taking photographs in the evenings or at night
Selfie lovers, I'm afraid you might want to stick to just taking photos in the day, unless you would like extra company with you in your selfies that is. Jokes aside, having the extra company caught on film may bring along bad luck or trouble in future, so do refrain from doing so!
3. Wearing black or red is inauspicious
For most of us, I assume we have more black-themed clothes than red, but nonetheless, these are considered to be inauspicious during the seventh month. Similar to how people wear sombre colours during funerals, the wearing of black during the hungry ghost festival month seem to signify bad luck, thus, it's best to avoid wearing them. We aren't too show if bright prints on black tees will help – after all, the tees aren't fully black…right?
4. Avoid spitting and blowing your nose in the street or at any tree/plant.
We aren't quite sure what's the reason behind this, but we have a sneaking suspicion that it may not just be about the netherworld beings being annoyed by it, but rather a certain group of people who may catch you for hygiene reasons!
5. Drying your wet clothes at night is not a great idea.
Actually, the thought of it makes it common-sensical – with no sun, how do you expect your clothes to dry?! Yet with many of us studying or working in the day, the only time we can get to washing our dirty laundry (pun not intended), is during the night and drying them then. However, if you do so, spirits may actually try on your wet clothes and if you wear them when they are tried, misfortunes will bound to follow you. Then again, I don't think you would want to wear something that someone else has been doing so prior to you wearing it….(ewwwww)

Medical researchers have found an unlikely ally in their quest to tackle a crippling disease which causes blindness, strokes and death: the humble chewing gum.
Researchers from the University of Sydney's Save Sight Institute say they've discovered a simple chewing gum test, which could hold the key to identifying and treating Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA).
The condition is caused by the inflammation of the lining of arteries in the head, restricting blood flow.
It is most common among people aged over 50 and can be hard to diagnose.
Symptoms can include headaches, scalp tenderness, jaw pain and vision problems.
But early symptoms are often subtle and found in other diseases, researchers say.
They point to claudication of jaw muscles - a cramping pain caused by inadequate arterial blood flow - as a specific identifier of GCA which has no specific test to differentiate it from over causes of jaw pain.
Enter the chewing gum.
Researchers have found that chewing gum at a rate of one chew per second can reproduce a patient's pain and prompt further blood and biopsy tests to confirm the diagnosis.
In a letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers presented two cases where their chewing gum test allowed clinicians to better characterise jaw pain, confirm a diagnosis and successfully treat both patients.
Save Sight Institute director Peter McCluskey said GCA was one of the most common causes of blindness in older people.
"Not only can it send you blind but it can kill you," Dr McCluskey said.
"It can also affect vision extremely quickly ... it's a very serious condition which requires rapid and correct diagnosis."
Further research is being undertaken to validate the chewing gum tests, incorporating specialists from dentistry, nuclear medicine and rheumatology.

Man Proposes at Occupy Wall Street Protest [VIDEO]
The Occupy Wall Street movement took on a decidedly romantic mood on Sunday when one of the protestors at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park asked another to occupy the bonds of holy matrimony, too.
Since protestors aren't allowed to use anything that transmits their voices electronically -- megaphones, etc. -- crowds have employed something called "the people's microphone" to be sure anyone speaking is heard. It may sound like an echo chamber, but it's proven highly effective.
So this woman didn't just get one proposal -- she got a few dozen.

Simple Digital Photo Fixes
Capturing those special moments or that special image has been made easier with digital photography. If you want a better quality image then following some simple digital photo tips will help you to produce that extra special shot. There are lot of little things that can be done to improve your work, but be experimental and try different things then assess what looks best.
#1 Decide on the subject of your picture, and what to include or remove. Try not to overcomplicate the overall picture. Try to leave a little space around the subject. If required this can be edited out at a later date.
#2 Consider the back ground of your picture. Make sure that there isn't anything in the background to distract attention away from the subject. Simplify the background to focus attention on the subject.
#3 Lighting will affect the overall look and quality of your shot. If light isn't used correctly then that special shot could be ruined. Try to use natural sunlight, but watch out for shadows. Sunrise and sunset will give you the best effects. This is one of those digital photo tips that is not always used to its full potential.
#4 A useful technique for night photos is try turning off your flash. If there is some lighting, use it, but make sure the shutter speeds are slower to let the light in. Trying this technique could make a significant difference when you take night shots. If it is very dark then you will have to use your flash.
#5 Using the proper focal length lens is important. If your lens is too short, this will lead to distortion of objects closest to the camera. Try using a longer lens and maybe move further away to overcome this.
#6 An often overlooked point is when you are photographing people make it fun.
You don't want your subjects looking sombre. Subjects that look like they are enjoying having their picture taken make a better picture.
Armed with these simple to apply digital photo tips, you can go forward with confidence knowing that you can improve on what you have been doing. You will notice the improvement in quality of your pictures and will be happy to display you work to others.

UFC champ Anthony Pettis is a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo. Vladimir Putin is a 9th.
So, who would win in a street fight? Don't bet on red.
Pettis -- who's fighting Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181 this weekend -- was out in NYC this week when he told us the 6 degrees of martial arts separation wouldn't matter if push ever came to shove.
For the record, here's how the tale of the tape would read ...
Anthony Pettis:
UFC Lightweight Champion
3rd degree Taekwondo black belt
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 155
Vladimir Putin:
Russian President
9th degree Taekwondo black belt
Height: 5'7"
Weight: Classified
The clip is awesome -- Pettis also tells us he spends time training at the same center as NFL superstar J.J. Watt ... and raves about how the guy CRUSHES weights in the gym.

Sellers Markets: Sustainable Fast Food Works
It's a rare day that we're excited about fast food trends.
Last fall we celebrated Sellers Markets, the quick artisnal eatery giving San Francisco's Financial District toilers a whole new way to eat between meetings. Dishes made from award-winning purveyors such as Niman Ranch, Cowgirl Creamery and Boulangerie Bay Breads have proven so popular that a second location will open in October, a few blocks away at Market and Second Streets.
"Our mission is great taste and the best tasting foods are grown, raised and produced by local artisans who practice sustainable agriculture," says Deb Sellers, who co-founded the Markets with her husband Jim. "Our quality and value prices are also fueling the demand for a second location. Merging the growing artisan food revolution with the booming fast-casual restaurant sector makes sense in food-savvy San Francisco." Whether you're a local or a visitor, stop in for Artisan Egg "A" Muffins, BBQ Chicken Salad, Niman Ranch Pulled Pork Sandwich, Tomato Bisque, handmade pizzas and sandwiches fired in an Earthstone pizza oven; and homemade sweets by Pastry Chef Joana Bautista. The second location will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner with takeout service always available. Local artisan wines and beers will be offered by the glass.
Like their flagship eatery, the Second Street design incorporates reclaimed barn wood, antiques and other recyclables. "We walk the talk and use sustainable resources wherever possible," says Jim Sellers.
Deb and Jim 's plan to expand the Sellers Markets concept locally, regionally, then nationally seems on track. They intend to carry through the themes of local purveyors, local menu specialties and local design features at each new location. By 2010, they envision 15 Sellers Markets throughout northern California. Yum!

E.C. Atkins Saws
January 27, 2015
Atkins No. 400 and No. 401 Hand Saws
The Nos. 400 and 401 were Atkins' finest saws, and the only ones made with rosewood handles. They had more taper grind and more polished blades than Atkins' next-best saws. The Nos. 400 and 401 were priced 63% higher in 1937 than the mid-priced Nos. 51 and 53. No other Atkins saws had tropical wood handles. 1950 is last year for which I found

I follow someone on Instagram called "anxietysociety2017" It's been comforting to see the daily quotes, images, and/or random inspirational pieces when I'm having a bad day, or a good day.
There was a post that they did a few weeks ago, they really stuck with me. To the point where I've shared this image with a friend who suffers from depression and anxiety, and yesterday with my husband, who was still struggling with his depression and suicidal thoughts.
I feel like this is so good, on a variety of levels. Not only can it help show someone where you are at mentally, if you are like me with anxiety or battle another mental health problem, but can also be used to relate to a work project.
I'm not going to kid around, yesterday was plain tough, but by the late afternoon, I had my husband up a few steps on this image, and today he's aiming for the top. Which ultimately gives me some piece of mind, because I can focus on my own work and my own mental problems.
So, what step are you on today?
