1111 Two appeals were considered by the Transport Tribunal last Friday and in both 7equests were made that if the appeals were lot completely successful then the cases be -emitted to the LA s for rehearing.
The first appeal concerned Mr F. J. :..`racknell, of Beddingfield, Suffolk. His icence, said his representative, Mr J. E. Bastin, had been curtailed by the Eastern leputy LA from 13 vehicles and four .railers to three vehicles and three trailers. :n addition one vehicle had been suspended 'or three months.
Mr Cracknell did not appear at the 3ection 69 hearing in Ipswich and, said Mr Bastin, the decision was based solely on the widence of a vehicle examiner. It appeared hat the deputy LA had become "testy" at he non-appearance of the appellant but it vas maintained that the clerk of the court iad been told he would not be attending )ecause he was unable to find a solicitor to epresent him at court.
The hearing had been called because of one GV9 but in tact this was not considered at the inquiry. The vehicle examiner, however. gave evidence of bad maintenance that would have resulted in a GV9 had not repairs taken place immediately and a GV9 was not issued. Mr Bastin submitted that the LA based his decision on evidence that was far too general; the vehicle examiner had told the court that tools and facilities had only been sufficient for three vehicles and three trailers but he did not specify the facilities or the tools.
Mr Cracknell was allowed to tell the Tribunal that he had tried to get representation for the hearing but his solicitor had been unable to help.
The Tribunal decided to dismiss the appeal and not to allow the case to be remitted. The President, Mr G. D. Squibb, QC, said that although Mr Cracknell had been unable to obtain representation he was bound to attend himself and the deputy LA was justified in taking the action he did on the evidence he had before him.
The second case concerned the revocation of, and , the refusal to renew, the licence of P. G. and J. M. Gerrish of Melksham by the Western LA following the issue of 11 GV9s within 12 months on the fleet of eight vehicles and five trailers, and a conviction for using rebated fuel. Mr J. Main, appearing for the partnership, said that on the 'evidence before the LA it was difficult to argue against the decision. However, not all documentation that could have helped the appellants' case had been presented to the court.
Mr Main explained that only maintenance records which had been completed before the application had been made were presented. No opportunity had been given for the 'remaining records to be collected. The question of the conviction for using rebated fuel was not being disputed.
It was significant, thought Mr Main, that in the -LA's written decision it was stated that if the Tribunal, in the event of an appeal, allowed fresh evidence to be presented 'then the LA should be given the opportunity of considering the new evidence at a rehearing.
Mr Main asked that if the appeal was not entirely successful then the case should be remitted to the LA.
The Tribunal is to give its decision in writing.

Lumbering under the weight of my backpack, I hustle onto the mv Columbia with a mission: Dash straight up to the open-air solarium on the upper aft deck and claim a lounge recliner. This will be my "campsite" for the next three nights as I cruise home on the Alaska Marine Highway ferry from Sitka, Alaska, to Bellingham, Washington.
"Do you know if there are any more recliner chairs?" I blurt out, as if the urgency of my words will make one suddenly appear.
|Leaving Sitka
And a lot of this:
First of all, it's very relaxing on the ferry. While sitting on the deck facing the receding panorama, it's easy to be lulled to sleep by the low rhythmic hum of the engines, the ship sometimes gently rocking, all that fresh clean air, and the warmth of heat lamps overhead in the solarium.
The first night I watch a spectacular tangerine-colored half moon appear and drop slowly below the mountainous horizon. And there's virtually zero light pollution, so when it's not raining, about to rain, or just stopped raining, the sky is brilliant.
Of course, that first stop at 3:15 a.m. in Petersburg wakes me up briefly with the announcement over the speakers. But I manage to fall back asleep quickly.
About an hour later, I awaken in the predawn light. (Didn't we evolve to awaken with morning light?) There's something dream-like and magical about the shadowy, still-forming day. I'm the first up, camera in hand. When a few others get up, we don't talk, as if we're still not fully emerged from our sleep cocoons.
|The water...
My first and primary buddy on the trip is tall, lanky Kayla from Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Kayla looks every inch the Rocky Mountain woman, with her plaid shirt, fitted jeans, turquoise earrings, and weathered skin from many years outdoors. She also has done this trip numerous times and is a good source of knowledge. At our 15-minute morning stop in Wrangell, several of us follow her to the nearest coffee stand in town.
|The mv Columbia during our short stop in Wrangell, Alaska.
|Nobody has accused Ketchikan of being too charming.
By the time I get back to the ferry, I'm jarred by the traffic and concrete. After retreating back up to the solarium, I collapse on my recliner to dine al fresco.
Just as we're pulling away from Ketchikan, the drenching SE Alaska rain kicks up again. With the wind and spray, we need to pull our recliners farther back under cover to prevent sleeping bags from getting too wet.
For the next 39 hours we'll be chugging south with no stops. Now the unwinding really begins.
Read part 2 of this journey here. Happy trails and thanks for visiting Pacific Northwest Seasons! In between blog posts, visit Pacific NW Seasons on FaceBook, Twitter, and Instagram for more Northwest photos and outdoors news.
When You Go
The Alaska Marine Highway runs year-round, although the schedules vary with the seasons and tides. Although it's less costly than most cruise lines, it's not an inexpensive trip. To sail from Sitka to Bellingham, even with no cabin, cost me $384.00. There's a so-so restaurant and a less expensive cafeteria-style snack bar, but lots of people bring their own coolers and food for snacks. Tip: The best/most healthful food is the big pot of fresh oatmeal each morning in the snack bar, with raisins, nuts, and brown sugar toppings. Or supplement with little packets of honey, jam, peanut butter, and other condiments at the counter just beyond the register.

Folsom Athlete of the Week: Aaron SiyBy: Matt Long, Sports Editor
Aaron Siy would have been hard pressed to have turned in a better performance at the Suburban Swim League championships July 20-22 at Sierra College.
Siy dominated the boys' 11-12 age group, as he placed first in all of his events, setting league records in the 100-yard individual medley (1 minute, .65 seconds), 50-yard breast stroke (30.64) and 50-yard butterfly (26.89). He was the high-point award winner in his age group, and also won the 50-yard backstroke (29.81) and 100-yard freestyle (57.56).
Siy also swam on two winning relay teams. The 200-yard freestyle team of Siy, Alexander Webster, Drew Dillard and Peyton Crawford set a Suburban Swim League record by placing first in 1:49.20. The same four boys combined to win the 200-yard medley relay in 2:06.59.
"Aaron is a racer and a tough competitor," Broadstone Coach Wendy Webster said. "He knows what he needs and where he needs to be to be successful. He does not back down from the moment he enters the water. Aaron is a great member of our team, and keeps the other kids in his age group going and looking ahead at what they can become."

we are just hard wired to self -destruct, Metallica (tm).
Just have to hope then after we self-extinct, something better would take our place on this planet.
(spoiler : being (mainly) vegan is the only sustainable way).
The only issue I can see with feeding an entire generation with junk food and animal proteins is that people do not die fast enough from health diseases to actually let us a chance to save this planet. Maybe after the whole health care system collapse, people will start to think a bit more about how they feed themselves.

The Usual and Unusual Suspects
Written by Alia Dharssi
Published in Future Perfect (Goethe Institut)
Executives from Canada's biggest banks came together with other companies, landlords, the government and volunteers in a Race to Reduce. The amount of carbon emissions they saved is the equivalent of taking 4,200 cars off of Toronto's roads.
Swapping old-fashioned light bulbs for modern energy-efficient ones, upgrading decades-old heating and air-conditioning systems and arranging offices to take advantage of sunlight seem like mundane tasks. But they can spur dramatic change.
Landlords and businesses across Canada's Greater Toronto Area took such measures to see who could reduce their energy use more quickly in an initiative called the Race to Reduce. They dropped their collective carbon emissions so much that it amounted to taking more than 4,200 cars off of Toronto's roads. In the process, they also saved 13.7 million Canadian dollars and were named one of 15 finalists out of 2,000 competitors for the 2015 Energy Globe World Awards.
From wariness to whopping success
Back in 2011, when CivicAction, an organization that unites business and civic leaders to respond to social, economic and environmental challenges facing the Toronto area, launched the Race to Reduce, its leaders were uncertain about whether it would succeed. Some large landlords and big businesses were wary of the idea, explains Brad Henderson, co-chair of the leadership committee for the Race to Reduce. A few thought they were already doing their bit. Others anticipated – incorrectly – that it would cost more than it would save.

Living in the modern age of computerization and digital identification, Pakistan still languishes in an era of stone-age Land Management System. According to a study Land Administration System in Pakistan – Current Situation and Stakeholders' Perception conducted by Zahir Ali and Abdul Nasir, the current land administration system in the country aims at land revenue assessment and tax collection for fiscal purposes. This system is structured on the traditional land registers and cadastral maps in paper formats, and their maintenance is mainly dependent on local land administrator, the so-called "Patwari". Although the local administrator reports all changes on land rights and boundaries of land parcels to the higher level of government authorities, the maintenance and quality of these registers has always been questionable. The limited accessibility and reliability of these records restricts the operational and legal usefulness for securing land ownership as well as for carrying out reliable planning and development activities. Additionally, Privatization program of Pakistan has also suffered from this lack of clean title and property rights. The government had sold to Etisalat 26 per cent shares of country's telecom operator in July 2005. According to a news item of 18th June 2010 because of a dispute over the legal transfer of land and property titles, buyer has been holding back payment of about $800 million of the $2.6 billion PTCL's privatization proceeds.
The land management system in Pakistan will now be put to its ultimate test by the nature in the form of floods of the century. When the floods recede, one of the most serious after-effects will crop up in the shape of land grabbing and fake demarcations of boundaries washed away by wanton waters. While In Punjab and Sind, the computerization is in bits and pieces, most of the land record in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa was still being maintained manually. In cases where the record has been computerized, the land demarcations can be verified by retrieving the data but it would be next to impossible to stop land grabbing of areas with damaged or lost record. The demarcation of land holdings of farmers, erased by the flood water, would be difficult to locate, especially in case of small holding, in all the affected provinces. Venal minions of revenue department will have hey days in connivance with unscrupulous and conscienceless land-grabbers.
'Do or Die' situation will evolve for the farmers whose livelihood mainly hinges on the small tracts of land they hold. Before starting the rehabilitation and resettlement process, the revenue departments have got to act at meteoric speed to remove these fears and take immediate concrete steps so that land grabbers find it extremely difficult to rip off the already devastated farmers with their piercing fangs and talons.
One of the major problems that will emerge in Sind is that in 'Katcha' area where most of the people move from one place to another without having any proper land ownership documents. The government must take this task seriously and provide these people some documents to confirm their legitimate ownership. However, the areas that are fortunate enough to have been safe from floods, it is expected that the land record would be safe. So, no excuses should be allowed to play for drawing fake lines of demarcation.
To ensure transparency in the entire process of land demarcation, government must constitute committees consisting of peoples' representatives, retired judges and social workers are known for their honesty, integrity and uprightness.
In case, the respective provincial governments failed to rise to this humongous challenge thrown by the nature, there will be deluge of civil litigation, feuds and murders down the road. The judiciary and civil administration is already over burdened. An injudicious and myopic handling of the land record phenomenon will unfold into situation that our generations will rot in the courts to seek justice which will remain will-o'-the-wisp for the common man for centuries.

Trading is a promising avenue for investment. As with any other form of investment, it can be quite risky for your capital. And if any trader promises you anything different, they are lying and are not in good faith.
However, the situation isn't all bleak. The great thing about knowledge is that it gives you the tools to handle any situation that comes your way. In this case, knowing the risks that are likely to come your way will help you know how to avoid them or mitigate their effect. This way, you'll be able to copy trades in a much more successful way.
Even more importantly, you have to be aware of the potential mistakes that most new copy traders make. This will help you avoid the common pitfalls that can derail your trading practice. That said, here are mistakes that you should avoid as you start copy trading:
1. Not Supervising your Portfolio
Many new copy traders look at the method as an easy way to get money. That is true, but only to a certain extent. Copy trading isn't something that you just set up once and forget about it, only to remember it when you want to cash in your profits.
Experienced copy traders know that success only comes with time, effort, and constant vigilance. You have to monitor your trading account constantly to ensure that your signal provider is still making you money. You have to do your research to keep up with the market and identify the trends. And the list goes on and on.
Simply put, you will have to stay aware and active of what's happening to your portfolio. Not that it should become your full-time job because then it would lose its convenience. But it's also important to strike a balance. This will help you continuously monitor the progress of your trading account while still identifying and dealing with the challenges that come your way.
2. Lack of Familiarity with the Signal Provider's Strategy
As you start searching for signal providers to follow, you will undoubtedly run into some that have seemingly spectacular performances. You will be drawn in by the winning percentages, perfect equity line, no drawdown, and steady daily profits.
But it's important to recognize very early own that such performances are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. The strategies behind these types of trades are a surefire path straight to failure. They are based on sneaky and unscrupulous techniques that will do you more harm than good.
Sure, you will notice some crazy results in the short run. However, these strategies are not sustainable in the long run. Sooner or later (and it is usually sooner), you will be faced with crippling failure that could wipe out your short run in copy trading.
Instead, it is much better to focus on more modest profits. You might think that this is such a drag, that the whole point of getting into copy trading is quick money. But if you have any hope of making a long-term career out of it, patience and moderation are skills that will serve you much better.
3. How Much Capital Should You Assign to Each Signal Provider?
Obviously, you will be working with more than one signal provider. But that brings about a very interesting question: how much capital should you assign to each?
You need to know how to distribute your capital to your different assets (that is, the signal providers). You should have some criteria that will help you do this in such a way that will help you minimize losses, maximize profits, and maintain optimal risk. Otherwise, you run the risk of assigning more capital to more unstable assets and less to the trustworthy ones.
4. Lack of Familiarity with the Social Trading Platform
One of the most common mistakes rookie traders make is diving into copying trades right after joining a particular trading platform. Instead of trying to replicate some signal providers, why don't you spend some time learning the ropes first?
This will keep you from making some silly mistakes or overlooking a small setting change that could cost you a lot of money in the long run.
The best way to get it right is to join the best social trading platform. For instance, you can become part of the Real Trader Community to get the best community advice, as well as access to successful traders.
Wrapping Up…
Getting the hand of copy trading is not a difficult process. However, you have to make an effort to identify and avoid mistakes that could derail your trading career. This is the only way to ensure long-term success.

|gptip42day - Fixed Asset Calendar with more than 12 Periods
Having more than 12 periods in your Fixed Asset Calendar can cause undesirable behavior with depreciation calculation and posting, especially if you make the mistake of running & posting depreciation in the 13th or greater period. I've had to completely clear and rebuild depreciation tables for clients because of this. Here's how to prevent such issues -
1. If you have not yet setup your company, regardless of the number of periods you ultimately want to have in your Fiscal Calendar, set it up with 12 periods first. Then build the Fixed Asset Calendar. The FA Calendar is based on the Fiscal Calendar so you initially want a 12 period Fiscal Calendar. If you set the Fiscal Calendar to 13 or more periods, and then build the FA Calendar, you'll end up with 13 or more periods in your FA Calendar - not a good thing. GP does funky things with depreciation when there are more than 12 periods in the FA Calendar. After you've built the Fixed Asset Calendar, go back and set the Fiscal Calendar to 13 or more periods.
Tools>Setup>Company>Fiscal Periods
2. If your Fiscal Calendar was originally setup with more than 12 periods and transactions have been posted, you'll need to reset your Fiscal Calendar to 12 periods and run 'Reconcile Financial Information'. Then rebuild your FA Calendar. This will reset your FA calendar to 12 periods. Then go back and reset your Fiscal Calendar to 13 or more periods and run 'Reconcile Financial Information' again.
To Reconcile go Tools>Utilities>Financial>Reconcile. Select the Year to reconcile and click 'Reconcile'.
(Note - When you click Reconcile when the Year check box is selected, no report is printed. Additionally, no message appears that states that the reconciliation process is complete. The reconciliation process recalculates the summary information based on the detailed transactions in the General Ledger files. The reconciliation process usually takes several seconds.)

Mixed feeding provides your pet with a welcome variety of taste & texture. Wet and dry pet food each have their own unique benefits. The crunchy texture of dry food helps support your pet's oral health, while the high moisture content of wet food can help keep your pet hydrated and support a healthy urinary tract especially in cats and small dogs.
When transitioning your pet from dry to mixed feeding, gradually replace the amount of dry food that you feed with wet food. You should do this over the course of several days, gradually increasing the proportion of wet food and ensure the total quantity of food fed is in line with the feeding guidelines.
Introducing mixed feeding into your pet's diet is easy and can begin at any time. You can transition your pet slowly by introducing the food over the course of about a week by mixing the foods together. Start off by including a small amount of the new food into your pet's meal - so that about 10% is new food - and slowly increase the ratio over the course of the week up to the recommended feeding guideline.
As long as they are getting a variety of both on a regular basis, your pet is enjoying the benefit of mixed feeding. For example, you can mix dry and wet food together, you can alternate days (one wet, one dry), and you can feed one in the morning and one in the evening. Ensure the total quantity of food fed is in line with the feeding guidelines.
The makers of PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS®, CESAR®, CRAVE™ and IAMS® offer a wide range of complete and balanced wet and dry food products for pets of all ages, life-stages and sizes to help them get the proper nutrients they need and the delicious taste they love.
Wet food contains less calories per gram than dry food. Feeding high moisture content wet food has been associated with reduced calorie consumption in cats compared to cats fed only a dry diet. Both wet and dry food should always be fed to your pet according to the feeding guidelines to help maintain a healthy body weight.
Try serving your pet different flavours, or serving the foods together in the same bowl, stirred together. Mixing up a variety of tastes, textures and flavours to find what your pet enjoys.
When you introduce your pet to a new food, it's recommended that you avoid making drastic changes all at once. Instead, you should phase in your dog or cat slowly. Like people, dogs and cats need a little time to adjust to change.

[Sure Ember hasn't helped much in that getting rest department. Bowchikawowow.]
Killed nine people in the last 4 days. No time for sport. Shot them. Threw one guys off a roof. That was funny. Splat!
[It's always funny when it happens to someone else isn't it Duckie? As a post note to any readers, he couldn't see these at the time that he wrote this. I added these after the fact, that's why he isn't freaking out… yet. Just thought I would clear that up.]
So much paperwork for… every little thing. Damaged property, notice of death without proper forms, killing too many people in one day, poor subordination control, and my favorite, 'Running'. Fucking generalizations.
[Although still entirely accurate, he did 'run'.]
Budget has been cut in half over Firecasso burning up parts of the place.
She's super mad. Little disappointed I'm alive. I'm a poor fucking teacher apparently or I wouldn't be.
[Blah blah blah, I'm whiny and suicidal! I live on borrowed time! They're going to take it back! Fucking cry baby.]
She got called to those fucking Maskless bastards. Training or something. More like a week of quiet. Hope those bastards burn.
[Blah blah blah, blind hatred for people he has never met.]
Ember has been over. Keeps me safe.
[Among other things, WOAH!]
West passes back and forth.
[See, I don't even have to try on that one. Too easy.]
Trent… still doesn't fucking talk.
[Blah blah blah, Trent.]
Fracture is back... punched him. Like a lot.
[Yeah, that part kind of sucked. And by punched, he of course means sucker punched me leading into a 5 minute beating... good times.]
Had freaky ass daymares while I was 'running'. Talk about it next time.
[Ha ha. Daymares.]
Swan out! [Fracture out!]

The USD/JPY started this week with a quick dip to 116.75 before triggering some bids that brought it back to about 117.80.
USD/JPY 4H Chart 2/2
(click to enlarge)
The 4H chart shows that the dip to 116.75 broke below a descending triangle consolidation that essentially began after the USD/JPY pair retreated from 118.86 on 1/20.
If you have been following USD/JPY in the past 3 years, you would still feel that bullish momentum going even through this couple months of consolidation. However, in the short-term, in the 4H chart, we see bearish bias. Let's not get the outlook right for the wrong time-frame. In the short-term, the USD/JPY has signaled a bearish outlook by breaking below a support (around 117.20), which has survived 6 stabs at in.
To the downside, the pair has the 115.56 (December low) to 115.85 (Jan, 2015) low. Looking at the 4H chart, 118.00 looks like a key level, around which there should be resistance if the market is indeed bearish in the short-term.
USD/JPY Daily Chart 2/2
(click to enlarge)
Interestingly the USD/JPY is also in a descending triangle in the daily chart. The bearish outlook in the short-term is limited to 115.56-115.85 (triangle support), because there is a strong prevailing uptrend, and the fundamentals have not shifted. For the bearish outlook, at best this is a consolidation. The mode is essentially bullish-neutral, so look for support in the 115.56-115.85 area.
Now, let's say price breaks above 118.00. Then, we are back to square one because that would show bulls in this market have strength in the short-term as well. Still a break above 118.86 would be needed to show that the bulls are in control in the short-term, with the 120 area exposed.
Above the triangle resistance and 120, USD/JPY would likely revive the prevailing uptrend seen in the daily chart, or at least test the 121.70, 2014-high.

With each passing match that Paul Pogba missed due to injury, his absence became felt more. The 24-year-old midfield maestro left a gaping hole in Manchester United's starting XI, but yesterday, he returned.
Despite not playing for two months, Pogba ran the show from start to finish. He drove the Red Devils forward, and was at the heart of everything creative about our play.
In the first half, Pogba picked up an assist that dragged his team back into the contest, in the second 45, the Frenchman scored the all-important goal which took the game away from Newcastle.
It truly was a joy watching him play, and after the match, he took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support during injury.
Merci to everybody who was there for me during my recovery, merci to all the fans, this one's for you! ❤?? Al Hamdullilah ??@ManUtd @equipedefrance #heretocreate #equalgame pic.twitter.com/NqeWxLEKA2
— Paul Pogba (@paulpogba) November 18, 2017
Performances like Pogba's yesterday are just a breath of fresh air. I guess any team would miss their best player for any prolonged period of time, but having him back for the hectic winter period is a huge bonus.
It's now time for Manchester United to start stringing those wins together once again. he gap between us and City stands at eight points, but make no mistake about it, they'll suffer a sticky patch. We just have to be ready to take advantage of that.

It's one of the major problems of our generation: lack of time. Almost 50% of Americans say they generally do not find enough space in their schedule to do all the things they want to do. Coordinating work, social life, and a healthy lifestyle is a concern for nine-to-fivers as much as it is for freelancers.
As a trainer, this can directly affect your business. To increase member retention, it's not only about keeping clients fit anymore: it's also about fitting training into your client's busy days. Trainers have new responsibilities: they need to make people understand that work, social life, and a healthy lifestyle can and need to be balanced. To succeed at this task, trainers have to understand that their job description also includes being a secretary, teacher, and mentor.

The Issue: Lack of Time
We live in fast times. Times of constant changes, developments and an information overload. Time is one of the most valuable goods of our generation. Most people invest their time first and overall into the obvious necessities of surviving: working, making money, putting food on the table. After work, there is little free time left. Social life, entertainment, education, recovery, health, it's all squeezed in those little after-work time slots. The Economist gets to the heart of it:
"Everybody, everywhere seems to be busy. In the corporate world, a 'perennial time-scarcity problem' afflicts executives all over the globe, and the matter has only grown more acute in recent years."
For almost everyone, the status of health and fitness falls short compared to the importance of Scrabble nights with the family or Netflix & chill. As a consequence, busy clients skip lessons or cancel memberships. Some people even decide to totally avoid the gym because they prefer to spend their precious time on other activities. You could almost say their social life is killing your member retention, right?
How to Cope With Busy Clients
A healthy, happy life is all about the balance of work, social life, and health activities. Plato already said that exercise would cure a guilty conscience. Yet, many of your (potential) clients might not understand this logic right away. This is why it's up to you to explain to your busy clients how important this balance is – and how it can be achieved. To increase member retention, trainers need to follow three steps: planning, teaching, motivating.
1. Education
Fitness and health are your passion. But clients don't have the same insights as you. So if you want them to understand your view on the importance of regular training and healthy lifestyle, you need to teach them. Principles, methods, strategies. Teach, don't preach. As a trainer, you're nothing less than an educator. Pass on your knowledge to your students.
1.1 Explain the Harms of Being Too Busy
We're all faced with mounting pressure, deadlines, and eleventh-hour panic. But, what many don't realize is that being busy does not equal being successful. It's quite the opposite. A lifestyle that is too busy can turn into a nightmare in the blink of an eye. Burnouts or other stress-related illnesses are kept a taboo topic until they hit you full force.
Need hard facts to convince your busy clients?
- Just losing one hour of sleep per night for a week will cause a level of cognitive degradation equivalent to a 0.10 alcohol level
- Too much stress can lead to irritability and anger, fatigue, lack of interest/motivation, headaches, upset stomachs, appetite and sex drive
- The lifetime prevalence of an emotional disorder is more than 50%, often due to chronic, untreated stress reactions
Especially your workaholic clients will prick up their ears if you tell them being busy does not mean being productive. In fact, every hour you work over 40 hours a week makes you less effective. Yet, many professionals ignore this truth. You may teach them that to be productive, one also needs to get some distance from work. For a balanced life, overtime and extra shifts should be avoided if the job allows.
1.2 Teach the Power of Fitness as a Stress-Reliever
Whether it's a conference call with Tokyo or the next fundraiser pitch, sometimes your busy clients just can't help but get worn out. Tensed, unnerved, stressed. Once you have taught your students about the detriments of chronic stress, you may brighten up their world again: exercising is one of the most efficient strategies to release stress. In fact, exercise is the most recommended stress-relief technique by health professionals.
Here's some science to help you get your point across. According to Matthew Stults-Kolehmainen, Ph.D. at the Yale Stress Center, exercises combats stress in two ways. The first way is by raising the heart rate. It can reverse damage to the brain caused by stress. Another anti-stress boost is by the production of neurohormones. These little helpers elevate the mood, enhance cognitive functioning and improve learning. The good news is that the biggest benefits of exercising as a stress reliever are as brilliant as they are easy to communicate to your clients:
- Joy: exercising pumps up the endorphin production and stimulates the brain's feel-good neurotransmitters
- Peace of Mind: It's meditation in motion and makes you forget irritations and sorrows
- Personal Development: It's mood improving and relaxing, boosts self-confidence, and can lower symptoms associated with depression and anxiety
1.3 Demonstrate Smart Training
By now, your clients should've created the basis for a healthy mindset. Smart as they are (after all, they chose you as a trainer!), they are now aware of the fact that the secret to a successful busy lifestyle contains workouts – with you. To put this into practice there are a few simple tricks that will help you.
- Teach clients how to train efficiently: do not beat around the bush. If time is scarce, make it count. As their fitness tutor, you know the exercises that fit the schedule of your busy clients. Create efficient training plans they can follow under time constraints. If they only have little time, do bite-sized bits of training – but train!
- Include exercise in the working life of your clients: if possible, always be geographically close to your busy clients. Create small office workouts for their daily routines. Show them how to turn everyday activities from tooth-brushing to binge-watching into brief exercises. Especially commuting offers plenty of ways to try some charming workouts.
- Use technology: The name of the game is tracking. You can only train smart if you evaluate your progress. Pen and paper might be an option for your clients, but do you really want to tell this to people who use BuzzFeed as their newspaper? Frankly, fitness software offers clearer insights for both you and your clients. Mobile training apps and digital progress tracking fit modern consumers better than tattered notepads with handwritten notes.
- Help with time management: Time scarcity is not only created by being busy. One of the main hobbies of our generation is procrastination. Help your busy clients utilize their time while keeping Parkinson's law in mind: 'work expands to fill the time available for its completion'. In other words: don't give your clients too much time to complete a task but make them train efficiently by setting constraints.
2. Planning
When your job as your busy clients' sensei is done, you need to get your typewriter ready to prove your secretary skills. Planning should be of the uttermost concern. It might be nerve-wracking at the start but proper planning eventually pays off. Ben Franklin once said: 'by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail'. It'll save you and your busy clients from sleepless nights if you succeed to plan.
2.1 Setting Goals
Before you can score, you must first have a goal. Everyone is driven by goals – and so are your clients. Finding that one significant other that is just as nuts, getting that job with a window view or even something as modest as changing the world. Goals are the essence of every plan. And you just need to help clients set up goals for a very simple cause: getting balance in life through proper workouts. So, once you've taught your rookies the science, set up the goals. But not just any random goals, you need to set SMART goals.
What are SMART goals?
George T. Doran, who first came up with this acronym, did not (only) want to express in capital letters that the goals have to be really smart. They have to be:
- Specific, by targeting a specific area for improvement
- Measurable, by giving an indicator of progress
- Achievable, by stating a goal that can be met
- Relevant, by stating a goal that actually needs to be addressed
- Time-bound, by specifying a time-window
2.2 Scheduling Together
Once you've articulated SMART goals together with your client, the cornerstones for willpower are set. But how does a person that has basically no time reach these goals? First, you need to analyze your busy clients' weekly schedule. Then, you can create individually fitting game plans for them. What's essential here is to avoid pushing your usual workout routines into their lifestyle. Instead, you observe their lifestyle and build workouts around it.
You might be a fan of intense and elaborate workouts. But if your clients have enough on their plate already, you should not put more on it, but instead, help them to get stronger at carrying that plate. If they only have short time slots, go nuts with them and make those count. Also, use early morning or after work workouts, depending on when your clients are free.
Consistency is the magic word. Try not to change schedules after creating them. It'll cost you a lot of time and your clients won't get into their routine. Once workouts become an everyday routine, people will continue to do them. When your busy clients want to skip and move around stuff, underline that there's no room for weaseling out. To enforce this in a positive way, you may want to reward them. How about a free session every 12 sessions without cancellation or postponement?
To create those schedules, you can go old school and just use pen and paper. Yet, as mentioned, tackling 21st-century challenges, you might want to use 21st-century solutions. Fitness software for scheduling is easier to use and more efficient. You can edit training plans, create templates, track progress and access those insights from all your devices.
3. Motivation
With education and planning, you already created a big asset when it comes to member retention. Well done! Yet, you can plan and educate as much as you want, sometimes we humans are just a bunch of lazy bums. Lack of motivation remains the main reason for people not to exercise enough. So, step up your game one last time: become your clients' mentor.
3.1 Help to Create a Fit and Healthy Mindset
The key to motivation lays in our highly sophisticated brains. As their mentor, you subtly need to help your mentees create a mindset that assures a 24/7 motivation and understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. An awareness that is maintained under the fluffy covers as much as on holidays under the Caribbean sun.
To turn your clients' mentality from couch potatoes into sporting aces, you already gave them the most important motivation by teaching and planning with them. With motivational interviewing, you will furthermore be able to give your busy clients a psychological motivational push.
What also helps to keep motivation high are reminders. Help clients to set up mental alarm clocks to awaken their inner fitness beast. This could be done by posting daily motivations in Facebook groups or WhatsApp chats with all your clients. Another way is asking them to keep equipment in front of their eyes. Dumbbells at home should be visible and trigger that guilty conscience. With their goals visible, your mentees will stay reminded and you can improve your branding as a positive side effect.
3.2 Let Them Tailor and Vary Trainings
It's simple maths: the more people like what they do, the more likely they are to do it. We all have workouts we consider our nemesis and those that evoke grand excitement. Show you care and make clients feel like they create their workout plans themselves by giving them options. As long as you make sure all muscle groups are targeted properly, you can leave the choice of specific workout to them. You know how self-made food always tastes better? So do self-made workouts.
Another key to keeping motivation up is variation. We humans are constantly on the search for the new and exciting and when even Candy Crush updates weekly, why shouldn't their workouts? If you keep the same exercise routine for months on end, your clients might think they could as well just train by themselves. You could motivate them with the bench press 2.0 or squats+. Or you may stimulate them with new workouts if they manage to complete current workout routines as expected.
3.3 Use Competitions and Comparisons
We live in competitive societies, where nothing comes for free. We are driven by success. So, make sure you constantly track the progress of your clientele and give them frequent updates on how they are performing. If they are successful, it keeps their motivation going. If they are not, you can trigger that 'now more than ever'-spirit.
And if you use fitness software, it gives your busy clients the opportunity to benchmark themselves against their friends or other clients. Competition is always motivating. Darwin's law also somewhat applies in the gym: survival of the fittest. Be also sure to reward clients if they meet their expected goals. Of course, better health and weight reduction is a great reward, but people's habits are best changed with tangible rewards. Charles Duhigg explains this with a 'neurological habit loop'. If your brain connects an action to a reward, it can make the link that the behavior is worthwhile. Just a banana smoothie might trigger your client's motivational sweet spot and increases the odds that the routine becomes a habit.
Rewards and recognition keep motivation up and also help create feel-good hormones. The rewards should be about the gesture, not about their material value. You may consider giving clients something tangible like a medal that serves as a reminder. Or the aforementioned branded posters. And if they don't like bananas, reward them with a strawberry smoothie (but really, who doesn't like bananas?). Other options range from healthy food supplies to fitness trackers.
Motivation is all about having the right mindset. As their mentor, you're the one passing on that mindset to your busy clients. If you offer them preferred workouts and incentivize with competitions and rewards, motivation can be kept up. Once you've trained your clients' brains to recognize that the workout itself is the reward, they don't even want the treat anymore. You now have loyal, happy clients with a healthy mindset.
Key Points to Remember
The contemporary challenges of fitness professionals go beyond training itself. If you want to improve member retention, you need to understand that you are more than just a trainer. You are also a teacher, a secretary, and a mentor. If you know how to tackle these tasks, you will be able to create a satisfied and balanced customer base. No matter how busy they are.

- Create schedules considering your client's lifestyle
- Enforce implementation of the schedules
3. Motivate

I am afraid today is another Day – waking up to the same grey and cool morning. No snow though, thank the lord for small – no big mercies. I'm starting to feel like Bill Murray. Desperation is nibbling on my edges. I cannot afford to let it all hang out.
I am hanging in/on or whatever. I'll put on my Wonder Woman outfit and let it do the magic. Today I have my tiara AND my lasso. Look out! I have magic and power.
I can bite the bullet and do all those hard to do things that I've been putting off. What better time to do them than on a grey and cold day? I do not need to move mountains, only piles – and piles. I only have to move one of them at a time.
And at the end or in the middle, there's those sweet buns I made yesterday and a cup of sweet spicy hot chocolate. I am feeling energized and ready to tackle anything . And Sheba is poised to help.

With Eid Al Adha this year coinciding with Turkey's high season for tourists, the government announced a 10-day holiday from Saturday, August 26 to Tuesday, September 5, 2017, in its efforts to further boost tourism.
The move will encourage internal tourism, especially in Istanbul, as municipality discounted fees on bridges and highways go into effect, significantly increasing mobility in the city.
For visiting tourists, Istanbul's iconic historic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace are amazing experiences. But the city continues to be loved for its shopping as well.
The myriad of bazaars and markets, where shoppers can haggle for a good deal, mesh beautifully with contemporary malls, such as the recently opened Emaar Square Mall, designed to resemble local architecture. The US$2.3 billion mall is projected to welcome 25 million visitors per year and employ 5,000 people.
Especially from the Gulf area, tourists are expected to stream into Istanbul over the Eid Al Adha period. Hotel occupancy is projected to reach 80 percent and beyond, which will significantly and positively affect Turkey's tourism sector.
According to new research from NewDay, Istanbul ranks as the number 1 most visited city by shoppers, especially those looking for more affordable prices. Turkey's competitive edge in terms of its low production costs has boosted the country's ability to compete globally in textiles, fashion and home products. And buying these products in Turkey and during Eid seasonal sales, is a shopper's ultimate dream.
Ranging across casual streetwear, haute couture and bridal wear, Turkish fashion designers are making a Top of Form
Bottom of Form
mark on the international scene. The uber-popular Turkish drama soap operas, especially during Ramadan, gives these designers a free pass into millions of homes across the entire Middle East.
Turkish designers have taken good advantage of that marketing platform to grow their brand footprint, with clients in the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. With the glitz and glamour that comes with it, Istanbul's fashion sector brought in US$1.2 billion so far in 2017.
All the better for serial shoppers, who in Istanbul, can get their hands on what are becoming leading global brand names for yet affordable prices. Especially during this Eid AL Adha, Istanbul is set to put on a show for shoppers and non-shoppers alike.

Make use of the manual like a manual to find out exactly where just about all in the essential elements can be found.
2. Factors associated with Research
Factors associated with research will likely be essential for making particular a person change your own motorbike headlights correctly every time. Start by tagging a place approximately 20 in order to twenty five ft from a set walls or perhaps a storage space doorway. Assess the range out of this tag upward for the headlight. Assess the very same range in the ground up-wards about the walls or even storage doorway as well as tag this time. You will have right now created an amount associated with research, that can be used every solitary period you need to help to make modifications for your motorbike headlights.
3. Anchoring screws
A great suggestion would be to release as well as tighten up the actual anchoring screws or even mounting bolts which repair the actual headlights in to location, often. You need to be capable of total this particular quickly. You must do this really is due to the fact it'll quit the actual anchoring screws through getting too restricted. With time, dampness within the atmosphere may bring about anchoring screws or even mounting bolts in order to corrosion somewhat. Ought to you don't regularly release all of them, they are able to turn out to be too rigid to show. What this means is you won't are able to produce required modifications whenever you ought to also it may also completely adjust the actual position of the motorbike headlights.
4. Exercise
This really is an incredibly energetic action, however should you exercise modifying your own motorbike headlights, it'll preserve a person period ought to you have to help to make crisis modifications round the street. This may end up being extremely essential if the headlights obtain bumped from placement all through the center of the night time. You don't have in order to period oneself, however you ought to be capable of get yourself a really feel associated with ways to adjust the actual headlights if you tend to be from a person's safe place.
5. Mp3 Calculate
Generally have the mp3 calculate along with you if you journey. In the event you perform, this particular this means you will usually are able to assess away as well as produce a degree of research with regard to headlight changes. This particular will likely be important in case your headlights obtain terribly bumped from area and also you tend to be in the heart of nowhere fast.
6. Decorative mirrors
If you want to make sure that you have modified your own headlights properly, make use of a reflection. You are able to sparkle the actual column to the reflection as well as determine whether or not it's the necessary effect.

THE search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 could end up costing Australia up to $89.9 million — and officials are budgeting for the hunt to last a long time.
As the search in the southern Indian Ocean continues, Federal Budget papers reveal further funding of up to $60 million will be provided to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau over two years.
The Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which was established on March 30 to oversee the search for the missing plane, will cost $2 million over two years.
The Department of Defence will receive a cash boost of $27.9 million over two years for the cost of its role in the search for the plane.
It has sent planes and ships out in a so-far unsuccessful search for wreckage.
The actual cost of the search for the plane — which disappeared after departing Kuala Lumpur in the early hours of March 8 with 239 people on board — will depend on how long the hunt takes and how much money is contributed by other countries.

July 19, 2009 (CHICAGO) --Two days after a pair of teens were wounded by gunfire outside St. Sabina church, the pastor says he and his congregation will not be intimidated in their own neighborhood.The Rev. Michael Pfleger addressed the shooting during Sunday morning mass.
The two wounded teens are cousins. They were at the church gym playing basketball as part of the church's anti-violence efforts when they were shot.
"Understand, the fire has only come to free me," he told the congregation.
One of the teens remained hospitalized in stable condition Sunday. The other teen was released Saturday.
Police said Sunday no one was in custody.

Vol. 6 No. 112
Witnesses at a House committee hearing questioned the FDA's role in monitoring postmarketing drug safety and whether the agency needs more authority to require clinical trials to investigate particular risks.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held the hearing June 6 after a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) found that GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Type 2 diabetes drug Avandia increased the risk of heart attack by 43 percent and death from cardiovascular causes by 64 percent (DID, May 22).
The study was a meta-analyses of published results from 42 clinical trials comparing the risk of heart attack and cardiovascular-related deaths in patients taking Avandia versus patients taking other diabetes drugs or placebo.
Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) said the FDA " dropped the ball" on requesting a long-term study focused on cardiovascular risks after Avandia's primary reviewer recommended one. There were a "number of missed opportunities," he said.
However, FDA Office of New Drugs Director John Jenkins defended the study GSK conducted after approval, saying it was what the FDA's primary review called for. The study did not appear to suggest a difference in cardiovascular risk between Avandia and other common diabetes drugs, but the FDA is still reviewing the data, Jenkins added.
The FDA's Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee and its Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee will meet July 30 to discuss Avandia, FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach said.
The agency either did not request the right type of study to track cardiovascular risks or GSK did not want to conduct that kind of study, University of Washington Cardiovascular Health Research Unit Co-Director Bruce Psaty said. The agency needs the authority to demand postmarketing study design and study completion, and Congress can include it in Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) legislation, he added. Waxman agreed, saying the drug serves as a good "case study for the need of reform of the FDA's safety review."
When asked if he supported legislation allowing the FDA to require postmarketing safety studies, von Eschenbach replied that he would support a regulation that provided "resources to get those tools to focus on postmarketing safety." The Senate's version of the PDUFA reauthorization would give the agency that authority. The House is expected to hold hearings on its version of PDUFA in mid-June (DID, May 29).
The FDA should have conducted a study focused on cardiovascular risks in 1999, following the FDA's approval of Avandia, NEJM article author Steve Nissen said. GSK needs to do one now, even though it could take seven years to complete and review, he added.
GSK's current ongoing long-term study, the RECORD trial, will not give a definitive answer on Avandia's cardiovascular risks even when it is completed in 2009, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's John Buse said. The NEJM published an interim analysis of the RECORD study in its June 5 online edition. The study said the data was "inconclusive," but GSK Chairman for Research and Development Moncef Slaoui defended the results.
"If I were a diabetes patient, I would be thrilled with the results of the RECORD study," Slaoui said. None of GSK's long-term clinical trials show an increased cardiovascular risk, he added. However, smaller meta-analyses the company conducted in between larger trials often showed a possibility of increased risk. This shows meta-analyses, such as the one Nissen conducted, can be incorrect, Slaoui said. Meta-analyses are only as good as the studies included in them, and the studies Nissen used were not designed to look for cardiovascular events, he added.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said Nissen's study "looks like it was an anecdotal concoction" designed to attack GSK. Issa, along with other lawmakers, said Nissen was politicizing science by going to Congress with the data from his study before presenting it to the FDA.
It could seem as though "disgruntled" FDA staff, members of Congress and Nissen collaborated to create a drug scare to humiliate the agency, Rep. Virginia Foxx (D-N.C.) said.
Nissen admitted he showed members of Waxman's staff a preliminary analysis of his data before it was published, but said he did not have to share the results with the FDA because the agency already had access to all the data he used and more.
Psaty agreed with Nissen, saying the FDA had all the information, but did not act on it until Nissen's article was published. "I don't know why it takes so long for the FDA to release information," Psaty said, adding that releasing information in August 2006, when GSK gave the agency results from its trial, would have been appropriate. — Emily Ethridge
The biotechnology industry yesterday made its case to Congress for changes to comprehensive patent reform legislation, saying the bill as currently drafted favors patent challengers and could make it harder to attract investors.
The remarks came at a hearing held by the Senate Judiciary Committee on S. 1145, the Patent Reform Act of 2007. Alkermes Senior Vice President Kathryn Biberstein, who testified on behalf of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), told the committee that BIO opposes many of the bill's provisions, including a proposed new post-grant opposition system that would "create an essentially limitless opportunity to broadly challenge a patent."
Jon Dudas, director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), said that while his office may not even have the resources to carry out the process, the proposed procedure, if revised, would be a cheaper and more effective alternative to patent litigation.
The system would allow a petitioner to request a review of a patent within a year of its issuance upon receiving a notice of infringement or if the petitioner can prove the patent causes significant economic harm, Dudas said.
The "second window," or second chance to challenge a patent after the first year, as outlined in the bill "will diminish patent value and therefore discourage investment," Biberstein countered, adding that biotech investors rely on the strength of patents when choosing to invest in investigational products.
Another point of contention for BIO is the provision that would limit damage awards in patent infringement suits. According to the bill, a court would have to consider the value of any prior art and deduct that value, so that the damages represent "the patent's specific contribution over prior art."
Biberstein asked the committee to consider the example of an inhaled insulin product that Alkermes is developing, which is fundamentally based on "two things that already existed as 'prior art,' insulin and small, hand-held inhalers."
"Assuming that courts and juries could even apply a prior art subtraction standard in a reasonable accurate manner, … the resulting residual royalties would be lower than the reasonable royalties calculated under current law," she said.
In addition, BIO's testimony called for the addition of provisions to repeal the inequitable conduct defense and the best mode requirement. The proposed changes had been included in last year's version of the bill.
The inequitable conduct defense, where a party can argue a patent is unenforceable due to misrepresentations in the patent application, is "a key driver in the cost and length of patent litigation," BIO said.
The PTO also supported an amendment to repeal inequitable conduct, saying that would improve the quality of patent submissions. Applicants often "fear that the legal doctrines of inequitable conduct and unenforceability may unfairly punish them with draconian penalties for innocently omitting information," which prompts them to send along thousands of pages of supporting material for the PTO to review.
As for the best mode requirement of current patent law, under which patent applications must contain a detailed description of the best way to produce the product, BIO said it is "used in modern patent litigation to attack the subjective state of mind of the inventor at the time the patent application was filed."
The generic drug industry, on the other hand, has praised the absence of provisions to eliminate the inequitable conduct defense or the best mode requirement. The Generic Pharmaceutical Association says the inequitable conduct defense is an important way to bring generic drugs to market, and the best mode requirement is "crucial to promoting efficient use of scientific resources" (DID, June 6).
The bill is available at thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:s.01145:. The companion legislation under consideration in the House is H.R. 1908. — Breda Lund
A federal court has reversed a district court ruling that had found in favor of Pfizer in generic Norvasc patent litigation.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted Mylan Laboratories' motion for reversal of a Feb. 22 ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania that upheld Pfizer's claims that the '303 patent covering Norvasc (amlodipine/besylate) is valid and enforceable (DID, March 12). The court said Mylan's generic version of the drug would infringe on Pfizer's patent.
Mylan immediately appealed the ruling and decided to launch its product following a March 22 U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruling — in a separate patent challenge brought by Apotex — that the '303 patent is invalid and unenforceable (DID, March 26). The company launched amlodipine besylate in 2.5- and 10-mg tablets March 23.
In April the FDA decided to deny approval to all other applications for generic Norvasc that had been submitted, but reversed its decision last month by approving Apotex's 2.5-, 5- and 10-mg amlodipine besylate tablets after a court ruled in the company's favor (DID, May 25).
The hypertension drug had U.S. sales of approximately $2.7 billion in 2006, according to IMS Health. — Breda Lund
There is a need for new products to treat drug-resistant forms of malaria, but any new treatments should be tested in randomized, double-blinded clinical trials on ethnically diverse male and female subjects of all ages in different geographical regions, according to a draft guidance from CDER.
Anti-malarial therapy can take the form of a single anti-malarial drug, a combination of drugs or more than one drug used sequentially, the draft guidance notes. As in other therapeutic areas, two or more adequate, well-controlled studies generally are appropriate for approval of a malaria drug.
Sponsors should compile a safety database of at least 1,000 subjects of both sexes and all ages and racial groups in Phase I, II and III studies, the draft guidance says. Drug interaction studies should be included where appropriate.
If the study cannot be fully blinded for technical reasons, attempts should be made to blind as many of the study personnel as possible, such as microbiologists interpreting malarial smears.
Sponsors should include appropriate formulations for children, who are at heightened risk of contracting the disease. Pediatric dose recommendations should be established early in the drug development program so that children can be included in Phase III studies, the draft guidance says.
In reviewing new drugs to treat drug-resistant malaria, CDER will consider a combination of various types of data, including:

Amgen announced it will pay $300 million in cash for Alantos Pharmaceuticals, a privately held biotech company that develops drugs for diabetes and inflammatory diseases. The deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter, will make Cambridge, Mass.-based Alantos a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amgen.
Amgen said the acquisition will provide it with a clinical-stage dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, as well as a matrix metalloproteinases platform for osteoarthritis.
Alantos' investigational drug ALS 2-0426 is a dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor that started undergoing a Phase IIa clinical trial last month. The drug is designed to treat Type 2 diabetes. The clinical trial is being done in collaboration with Servier, which will be responsible for commercializing the drug outside the U.S.
Amgen was dealt a setback last month when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed new limitations on its coverage of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents for cancer patients, which could negatively affect sales of the company's product, Aranesp (darbepoetin/alfa) (DID, May 16). — Martin Gidron
