text: Health is the basic need of every human being to live a good life. The proper deliverance of health facilities nourishes the society in to a strong and effective community. The health care system in Pakistan is facing many problems such as scarcity of resource, gender insensitivity, inefficiency, and lack of convenience and utilization. The conditions of government hospitals are pathetic, as compared to private hospitals. Majority of the population is not able to visit private health centres, as they are very expensive. 70 percent of our population is living in rural areas; they do not have access to basic health facilities. This obtuse behavior on the part of the government has resulted in increasing problems for our people. A healthy society has the ability to participate actively in the development of the country. But here in Pakistan, health facilities are not to facilitate the public.The initiative to launch a 'Ladies Health Worker' program was a good step from the government. This program helped in facilitating the people at the rural level. The 'Lady Health Workers' received trainings so that they could spread awareness about different diseases and hygiene to the rural community. Many new and dangerous diseases like dengue, hepatitis, etc are spreading rapidly in our communities, so it is important that people are updated as early as possible. This will happen when we will bring reforms in our health sector. After the 18th amendment, the Ministry of Health was devolved to the provinces, so now it is important that the provincial government must initiate healthy changes in this department. According to the ranking of world health organization Pakistan ranks 122 in the overall health system. In Pakistan we lose three women per hour, and more than 30,000 women die every year by not receiving any heath facility. Both women and children are the worst affectees for not getting proper health facilities. So in order to have an energetic and healthy society, we have to equip our health department with healthy reforms.MUHAMMAD UZAIR NIAZI, Mianwali, September 26.

Christopher Sheppard, Former Executive Director of St. John's Native Friendship Centre
Gerry Rogers, MHA St. John's Centre
Member's Statement
April 10, 2019
Christopher Sheppard, Former Executive Director of St. John's Native Friendship Centre
How fitting to honour Christopher Sheppard as he prepares to leave our province with his husband Jacob Buote and three dogs to take his incredible skills and expertise to Saskatchewan friendship centres.
An Inuk, born and raised in the Inuit community of Postville, Nunatsiavut, Chris came to St. John's in 2004 getting involved in the urban Indigenous community. An outstanding leader and advocate, he represented urban Indigenous young people in the Atlantic region, then nationally and internationally. Elected Youth Representative on the National Association of Friendship Centres, he quickly became Vice President and now President.
As ED of the St. John's Native Friendship Centre, now rebranded First Light, he built an amazing team, expanding the Centre's services including a childcare centre, supportive housing, catering and exciting outreach and programming for the community.
More is coming, increased support for Aboriginal Patient Navigators, funding the first urban Indigenous coalition here, an infant space expansion to the Childcare Centre.
At 33, Christopher has accomplished much. How lucky have we been to have him and his passion for change.
Nakkumek Chris, we will miss you.

What is Dynamex?
In the Dynamex CA Supreme Court case, the Court ruled unanimously that companies must use a simple
test, already adopted by other states, to determine if a worker is truly an independent contractor
instead of an employee. The ruling removes uncertainty for businesses and ensures that companies
aren't cheating workers out of basic protections like a minimum wage, unemployment insurance and
workers' compensation that they deserve as employees.
What is AB 5?
Worker advocates have joined with Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez to enshrine the Dynamex ruling
into state law and close loopholes that allow some big corporations to continue cheating. The bill, AB 5,
clarifies the decision and protects both employees and those who are actually independent contractors.
Why is AB 5 needed?
By enshrining the Dynamex decision in state law, we can create one clear definition of employment that
is easy to understand and follow.
In addition, this bill will clarify what employment relationships are not covered by the decision,
providing certainty to industries that are unsure of the case's implications.
The reality is that most businesses do not misclassify workers and have been forced to compete with
this illegal model. With the Dynamex decision and the clarity from AB 5, we can level the playing field
for companies that follow the law and raise standards for millions of California workers.
If someone wants to be an independent contractor, shouldn't they have that choice?
Anyone who wants to go into business for themselves as an independent contractor will continue to
have that choice. This bill in no way limits legitimate independent contractors. There's always going to
be a place in our economy for those who want to be their own boss and contract their services to
businesses that follow the law. What we need to stop is the practice of some unscrupulous employers
calling employees "independent" just so they can cut corners on costs. When businesses flout the law
with these schemes, we all pay the price. Good businesses struggle to compete. Workers are cheated
out of pay and basic protections and our state loses billions in revenue that supports our schools, public
safety and roads. That's why Dynamex and AB 5 are so important.
AB 5 is a one-size-fits-all approach. Doesn't this issue require a more nuanced approach?
The author of the bill, Asm. Lorena Gonzalez, and the bills sponsors have been meeting with every group
and industry that has concerns about the bill's approach. The legislature has convened an informational
hearing to get public input. AB 5 is an incredibly thoughtful approach to a complicated issue. Remember,
the Dynamex decision is the law of the land. AB 5 clarifies the decision so there's no uncertainty, while
protecting all workers from unfair treatment due to being misclassified on the job.
Will the bill pass?
We have broad support for AB 5. Unions, worker advocates, social justice groups, community allies and
many others have expressed support. The legislature realizes that when workers are cheated out of pay
and basic protections, inequality grows. This is the legislature's chance to act, not only to protect
workers who are currently mistreated, but to ensure the future of work includes opportunity for
everyone to get a fair day's pay and basic protections on the job in return for a hard day's work. That's
what the American Dream is all about.
Does the Governor support AB 5?
We're confident the governor is committed to a future that doesn't leave working people behind. While
he hasn't commented on the bill, we look forward to having many conversations with him and his staff
about its importance.
What's the bill's impact on the state?
Bringing workers who are unlawfully classified into employee status will mean fewer workers relying on
the safety net when they are sick, laid off, or hurt at work. It will also significantly benefit the state. In
California, misclassification audits conducted by California's EDD from 2005-2007 recovered
$111,956,556 in payroll taxes, $18,537,894 in labor citations, and $40,348,667 in employment tax fraud.
In the Dynamex case, the DLSE estimated that misclassification costs the state $7 billion annually.

This update of the Power Cushion Eclipsion line is centered on fit. It features a sock-like sleeve that helps in delivering a snug fit. Aside from this addition, the Power Cushion Eclipsion Z uses the same upper exterior as its predecessor, which also contributes to the secure foothold. The name of the trainer is taken from its use of the brand's proprietary midsole technology while the outsole is made of rubber that can grip smooth court floors.
Grip. A layer of non-marking rubber lines the underside of the Power Cushion Eclipsion Z. This Yonex badminton trainer has a Hexagrip tread pattern that allows the compound to expand in multiple directions to make sure it doesn't easily slip.
Agility. Quick transitions are also possible because of the Round Sole construction. The edges of the outsole have been sloped, so it's easier to roll your foot inwards and push off the floor using the inner side.
Rebound. The Power Cushion+ is made from the original Yonex midsole technology but has been enhanced using a special elastic resin. The addition of the resin resulted in a cushioning unit that is 28% more effective at absorbing shock. Its ability to repel the force of impact has been increased by 62%. Athletes will notice a bouncier experience, decreasing foot and leg fatigue during intense, long games.
Stability. The outer side of the midsole is strengthened by the ToughBrid Light component. This lightweight yet rigid part prevents the foot from rolling outwards, which could result in injuries.
Embedded in the middle of the midsole is the Power Graphite Sheet. It aims to stabilize the arch by preventing twisting motions in this area.
Inside the Power Cushion Eclipsion Z is the Yonex Synchro-Fit Insole. This removable insert enhances the overall fit of the footwear. Aside from providing comfort, the slight elevation of the heel positions to foot in a way that is always ready to take the next step.
Foothold. The exterior of the upper is made from Durable Skin. It is made from polyurethane (PU) but has been engineered to be flexible like rubber but has some rigidity like plastic. It forms a covering that can withstand abrasion and can securely hold the foot.
Comfort. The Yonex Power Cushion Eclipsion Z also employs a mesh fabric for its top. This material is soft and breathable. It helps with temperature regulation inside the trainer.
Fit. This Yonex badminton shoe features an inner cleatie. It has a ribbed collar that delivers a sock-like feel. Users have the option to tighten the fit using the lacing system. Another factor that contributes to the comfortable fit is the Toe Assist Shape. The upper is constructed to reduce pressure on the big toe while snuggly wrapping the midfoot and the heel.

Powering Peak Performance: Using Operational Data Effectively to Grow Your Business
Manufacturers routinely collect data to understand their operational processes and eliminate pain points in their workflows. From employee performance metrics to downtimes to demand forecasting, this operations data is only useful to those who know how to collect and interpret it effectively. Unfortunately, companies struggle with data collection and analysis. To overcome this pervasive challenge, it's critical to engage every employee in soliciting insights and information about the state of business operations in your organization. Once employees buy into and rally around a common vision for improving operations, you can design "smart data" collection strategies to target just the data you need to drive results. A number of techniques and tools are available to help you maximize the effectiveness of working with the data you've collected. And a number of real-life examples can provide insights and inspiration as you jump-start your company's journey to operational peak performance.

What's New with 510(k)s?
Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requires device makers to notify FDA of their intent to market a medical device that is at least as safe and effective – substantially equivalent – to a legally marketed device. Most medical devices in the U.S. today are marketed under the 510(k) pathway which has been around since 1976. The 510(k) program is the subject of literally hundreds of FDA guidance documents, including several over the past year which propose to significantly "modernize" this device approval pathway. But what's really "new" with the 510(k) program? Attend this session to get the latest and greatest on the essential 510(k) pathway.

Software Validation: Practical Approaches to Achieve Compliance While Saving Time and Resources
Medical device firms are required to validate "electronic systems" that create, modify, maintain, archive, retrieve, or transmit electronic records. But the challenge is while FDA regulations and international standards require software validation, they do not specify how companies should go about the validation process. This session will explore the common validation problems encountered by regulated companies. And our speaker will cover what you need to know to validate your medical device software to meet FDA's expectations and how to prove to FDA that you validated your software properly and successfully.

In San Francisco, where nude men once gathered to chat in the sun and employees of Silicon Valley discover new ways for us to leave our bodies behind, Richard Rodriguez ponders the meaning of nudity in the Internet era.
WALKING DOWN CASTRO STREET on a Sunday afternoon, just beyond where Divisadero veers to the right, I saw a naked old man walking toward me.
By old, I mean — at 25 paces — he looked to be nearly my age. Should I look away? His torso was trimmer than mine; his legs less sturdy. His hair as thin.
The old man looked straight ahead, as beautiful young women learn to do. He was wearing sandals. My curiosity about his nakedness was none of his concern.
Public nakedness seems a relict of the last century in San Francisco, now that the city has become the real capital of digital Nowhere, a city clamorous with the sounds of breaking and building — a place where a young visionary class is deliriously rewarded for inventing the ways we leave our bodies behind.
A rotary of men who gathered for recreational nakedness in a small triangular park on upper Market Street seemed to have no context. Doubtless, preoccupied Pan was headed to join his confreres in the minipark.
The naked men of San Francisco were accustomed to sit on garden chairs, to chat, as men anywhere in the world might take their ease and chat in the sun. But these men insisted on wearing their bodies on city streets. Their bodies were jeremiads; their bodies insisted that this spectacle — not just the spectacle of badgers showing bunt, but of human bodies en plein air — is, after all, only what humans look like, only what humans are, when youth and batteries fail.
You will recall that when King Lear takes off his clothes, he offends majesty. The scandal of Lear's abrogation is that, without raiment, a king is a frail, poor creature, indistinguishable from a groundling; his kingdom is disarmed.
When the Royal Shakespeare Company played in Royce Hall at U.C.L.A., the audience was seated on stage, to either side of the playing area. I was as close to King Lear as I am to you. Sir Ian McKellen played Lear. There was no scandal to McKellen's nakedness, only an idiotic reverence on the part of the audience for what Sir was willing to risk for his art. His private parts, likely powdered for the stage, seemed to enjoy the excursion, regardless of what the old man's head declaimed: "Thou art the thing itself. Unaccommodated man is no more but such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art."
Supervisor Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco's District 8, which includes the Castro district, took offense to the naked men on the part of public taste and initiated a ban on nudity on streets, sidewalks, plazas and medians, while permitting nudity at certain beaches and street festivals.
On those weekends before the teddy bears' picnic was declared illegal by City Hall, young men and women passed the naked men by without paying them much mind, as did the general populace of District 8, as far as I could tell. I seemed to be the exception. Had they been nude young men, I would have felt compelled to check my messages or take another path.
One afternoon I watched as a seminary of teenage girls from Japan came upon the satyrs in their glade. Obligatory shrieks of surprise from the girls, who, nevertheless, approached the old men. Conversation ensued; cellphones were raised; memorial selfies created: San Francisco, 2012.
PAUL MONETTE, THE WRITER, whom I did not know well, was driving that morning. Cesar sat in the front seat. I was wedged between two men in the back seat. One of the two had something to do with Hollywood, something to do with Barbara Eden. Could that be right? Anyway, he begged my pardon for elbowing me as he repositioned himself.
The car was small; the windows were steamed; the weather must have been cold or wet. We were driving down to Belmont, now a part of greater Silicon Valley, at that time a Peninsula suburb. Within 10 years, everyone in the car would be dead, except me. The man to my left raised his right arm that had fallen asleep. As he did so, his cuff brushed my cheek. I remember that day most poignantly as the feel of cashmere.
Bodies are real. Once youth passes, we carry our bodies around with a growing sense of estrangement from them, though we fear leaving our bodies behind.
Covering our bodies is a lifelong preoccupation, a disguise that represents a revelation. Most people my age have inherited the duty of clearing out the closet of a parent, spouse, lover or friend. The coats. Suits. Smell. Shine. The stripes, pinks, paisleys. Shoes! How can shoes retain the shape of souls? But they do.
That evening, on our return from Belmont, we went to a restaurant on Noe Street. Cesar recited Rimbaud between courses, I recall. (I passed by the restaurant the other day; it is still a French restaurant.) Cesar recounted an adventure he took as a young man. On a whim, he drove a red Peugeot from Paris to Kabul. It was April, Cesar said, as if that were explanation enough. Rimbaud traveled three continents. He died at 37.
During the AIDS years, raised violet lesions — proofs positive of intimacy — betrayed intimacy by betraying the body in public. The marked young man must still make his rounds with downcast eyes, walking with a cane. People passing looked away. The young man felt himself disappearing, from his clothes, from his mirror, from his eyes.
From Rimbaud to Rambo: It became the fashion of some gay men in those years to arm themselves with muscles, as much as with condoms. Mr. Clean became an advertisement of health. A delusional gay male fantasy was developed in gyms, modeled on an aesthetic of strength as purity.
During the plague years, designers like Calvin Klein and Gianni Versace placed models in their magazine ads who wore nothing or nearly nothing. By crossing images of the enviable nude body and the fashionably clothed body, they were equating those two states.
Calvin Klein intuited how best to market the equation to the middle class: In an ad for CK underwear, on a billboard over Times Square, Mark Wahlberg, a snarl disfiguring his face, grabbed his own crotch — as in: "Eat my shorts." Wahlberg's pugnacious vulgarity embarrassed the viewer's interest. The tortuous message nevertheless sold underpants: Desire to dress as someone who loathes your desire.
In 1971, a decade before Wahlberg, Yves Saint Laurent, the most gifted couturier of his generation, had himself photographed nude by Jeanloup Sieff. Saint Laurent was selling, as it were, his scent, so nudity made some kind of sense. He wore the signature black-rimmed glasses by which we recognized him. His body was a faun's body. His pose a mermaid's pose.
His gaze was predatory. His gaze reminds me of the gaze of the blank-faced teenaged boy who locks himself in the bathroom to stand in front of the mirror, to film his naked torso with a cellphone, attempting objectivity by submitting his body to a digital stranger, that stranger himself. Who is the voyeur?
I AM LOOKING AT A PHOTOGRAPH of Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google, Inc. He is strolling down a fashion show runway, hand in hand with the designer Diane von Furstenberg. They are both wearing pairs of Google Glass. The marriage of science and fashion.
We already live within the 19th-century romance of the robotically enhanced body. The United States military outfits warriors for combat with Modular Integrated Communications Helmets equipped with night-vision scopes. In the eyes of teenage boys, the soldiers resemble comic book superheroes.
It must have seemed obvious to engineers in Mountain View: If so many people on the planet now walk through their lives holding their cells in front of them — like compasses, like divining wands, like seeing-eye dogs — why not incorporate a computer into the field of vision, a Google Glass, whereby one eye remains connected to the nervous sift of synthetic information, while the other eye navigates what we call — what do we call it now? — real time?
On a Tuesday night last July — July 8, 2014 — I nearly ran over a young man with red hair at the intersection of 8th Avenue and California Street. The young man was consulting the tiny screen in his hand, oblivious to the red light, as he stepped in front of my car. I screeched and honked. Jesus! The young man looked over his shoulder and waved vaguely as he proceeded to the opposite corner.
On the other hand, I confess I took my cellphone to dinner one night at a restaurant, thousands of miles from home. I placed the phone where my napkin had been. I am not immune to the horn of loneliness. I am 70 years old. I have questions.
On the other hand, I retain enormous nostalgia for an antique phrase of no currency: the Great World. I do not find young people who walk down the street consulting their cellphones to be beautiful.
I MEAN, UNLESS I HONK, I find that I am looking at a city that doesn't look back. The woman, for example, who is forcing gobbets of broken heart into her cellphone, turns her back, refuses my eyes. Am I disappearing from the world? Or is she? I am a writer in a city where nobody carries a book. I am a reader who cannot decipher the signs. Graffiti, for example. Digital code (if that is what you call the cascade of numbers and symbols that supposedly underwrites the wealth and knowledge and capability of the planet). Tattoos.
I am surrounded in the undressing room by tattoos, brooding skins that demand some sort of attention from strangers' eyes, but are also undecipherable exterior monologues. The body seems to be open for inspection, but is, in fact, a private diary.
It is commonplace to wonder how such tattoos will look 50 years hence. But that is no point, is it? How will your teeth look? How will your toes look? How did Mae West look?
As David Beckham's body began to weather, he increasingly presented himself as a fashion model, shark-eyed, revealing to the world sleeves of tattooed fleurs du mal that, when zoomed, resemble tombstone art.
Turn the pages of the fashion magazine past the Beckham advertisement and you will see the prune-lipped boys of Milan who wear an astonishing vacancy. Fall or spring, fashion never ends, apparently. Unless it ends in an urban park in San Francisco.
WHAT WE CALL SILICON VALLEY is a collection of suburbs connected by El Camino Real, the old Spanish highway of the California Mission era. The logic and the allure of the Valley's digital "superhighway" belong to the postwar American suburban impulse, against the congestion and contest of the city. The loneliness social media aspires to repair is the loneliness of empty streets, Dairy Queens, the loneliness of high school, the loneliness of Mexican gardeners, the loneliness of lawns. The advantage of shopping online, Silicon Valley encourages us to believe, is that one need not contend with bodies, with business hours, with complete sentences. The loneliness social media aspires to repair becomes the loneliness social media creates and exports to the world as "connection."
The American suburbs created Steve Jobs. Jobs was born in San Francisco, but he grew up in Mountain View, 40 miles to the south of the city. According to his biographer, Walter Isaacson, Jobs was so uncomfortable among rowdies and bullies at Crittenden Middle School, he told his parents he would drop out of school rather than continue there. Jobs's parents moved their family to Los Altos, a suburb more suburban — "a better school" — a further remove from complexity.
Silicon Valley companies like to describe their corporate headquarters as "campuses." Business-page surveys routinely list such places as among the happiest places to work in America. Digital think tanks are, in some way, comparable to the Hollywood studios of the '30s — dream factories for the world that were enclaves also.
Why would one leave?
Silicon Valley is lonely! In recent years, busloads of Silicon Valley engineers have exchanged the complacencies of the suburbs and the adolescence of corporate campus culture for pulse, contest, uncertainty, danger and commutes on overcrowded freeways every morning and evening.
THE FIRST TIME I SAW one of them — of course, I had heard people talk about Google buses — I was having a drink at a cafe on Fillmore Street. A white bus, eerily unbranded, stalled in traffic, completely filling the window of the cafe.
"There! That's one of them," a man seated at a table in the window pointed toward the bus. (All of a sudden, a zombie movie.)
The destination of the bus — campus location identified only by initials — rippled through a dot matrix upon the blackened window glass.
The incongruity, the disproportion of the Trojan thing on a 19th-century street of electric tram wires elicited humor from the diners, but also some unease.
San Francisco fears colonization by the brilliant, wealthy, youthful suburbs. People in San Francisco say their neighborhoods are losing flavor as rents go up. The city has said it before — about gays, Hong Kong millionaires, yuppies.
What is more interesting to me than the circumstance that I may not be able to afford this city is the fact that gifted engineers are acknowledging a preference for all the complexities the computer was going to save us from: noise, crowds, lines, panhandlers, red lights, real time.
For all its influence on our lives, the culture of Silicon Valley is remarkable for being so uninteresting to look at. I once saw Janis Joplin, dressed in white muslin, looking like Miss Havisham, billowing on a corner in broad daylight. What a vision! Now I pause to regard the young men and women getting off the Google bus. Graduate students in T-shirts, windbreakers, dark jeans, black canvas computer bags slung over their shoulders — masters of the world! — indistinguishable from groundlings.
The other day I saw the fabled Croesus of social media over by Mission Dolores Park, where he has lately purchased a home. He was wearing a hoodie and jeans, a habit of high school boys.
THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MALE fetish of the 20th century originated in San Francisco in the late 19th century, when Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis manufactured and sold overalls and denim pants, punched with copper rivets.
Levi's became associated with manual labor, thus with muscled bodies — blacksmiths, stevedores, farmers. Then with cowboys. Then with schoolboys (cowboy belts!), who suffered through the first weeks of September in brand-new, stiff, smelly denim. Then with James Dean and Sal Mineo, with urban delinquents, as much as with 4-H clubs.
Today, jeans are associated with leisure and the triumph of American informality. The pleasure of a pair of Levi's is of a second skin, molded to one's body. Europeans pull them up above their navels, which is deplorable usage.
Steve Jobs first drew the world's attention as a sparky genius from Cupertino, who announced the expanding future as digital. At that time, Jobs often wore a suit and bow tie to interviews and press conferences and he looked a bit like Professor Harold Hill ("River City's gotta have a boys' band . . ."), or, because he was rather handsome, like an assistant professor of Romantic poetry.
As the C.E.O. of Apple, Jobs entertained the idea of uniforms for Apple employees — uniforms of the sort he had seen Sony employees wear in Japan. Apple employees nixed the idea. Jobs eventually chose a uniform for himself — rather priestly: a black turtleneck designed by Issey Miyake and a pair of faded blue jeans. Traditionally, this was the uniform of the nonconformist, the revolutionary, the bohemian, the poet, the black-clad puppeteer — black, so as not to draw attention away from the puppet.
Over the years, Jobs repeatedly emerged from his laboratory in his turtleneck sweater persona as Merlin, the magical power behind his own corporate throne. He would drive from Palo Alto to the Macworld convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Jobs walked into the spotlight on a bare stage, in front of a giant blue screen that featured a backlit Apple insignia.
In his presentations, Jobs apostrophized his newest product with boyish delight before an audience of stockholders, acolytes and reporters. He performed a miracle or two of synthesis (the phone is a camera; the camera is a screen; the screen is a book) which the blue screen magnified. At last, he passed the miracle to a waiting world. Apple product rollout assumed a portentousness worthy of a production of Parsifal.Following the Apple playbook, other Silicon Valley and Seattle tech billionaires scheduled merchandising liturgies using similar theatrics — the dressed-down priest, the bare stage, the magnifying screen.
Around 2006, the stock market began to notice that Steve Jobs's Levi's were loose on his body. He had undergone surgery to remove a pancreatic tumor two years earlier. In 2009, Jobs had a liver transplant.
As Jobs's flesh diminished, so, too, did Apple products thin. "Elegant" was the word media reporters bestowed upon them. At his last keynote address, in 2011, Jobs conjured a cloud (postmodern possessive: iCloud). But it was Jobs's body everyone saw, disappearing.
THE OLD MAN ON CASTRO STREET was not quite naked. He had applied glitter to his body — glitter covered his shoulders, his chest, his tabernacle, his backside.
He celebrated himself! As will I: This old guy, in motion, glittering like a resurrection angel.

Thousands of people all over the world bet on sports for several reasons. Many of them do sports betting for fun, while some bet for their favorite teams for money. Well, no matter what their reason is, it is essential to keep in mind that betting on sports without the right comprehension of the sport as well as its odds is suicidal.
In every sports betting game, finding out about the sports betting odds is a very crucial move to take. After all, sport betting odds is considered the most common method of betting on the earth, and it basically involves predicting whether an outcome may occur or otherwise. So, to take into consideration odds betting, you must place your bet at certain odds which relate instantly to the percentage probability that this predicted outcome will happen. Many experts have stated that the fewer the sports betting odds, a lot more likely it truly is that this outcome will happen. Its not surprising then that this outcome with the lowest odds is regarded as the favourite online betting.
Who makes the sports betting odds? How the sports betting odds are made?
Maybe you have heard about the odds makers. Basically, in sports betting, there are odds makers are those taking into account every possible thing that might impact the outcome of a particular event or game. The sports betting odds are then identified by the odds makers by means of considering several factors of the game, like the expertise of the teams or participants, the injuries, edge to win, weather and condition of the field, place of the event, match-up history, and a lot more.
When all of the factors are considered and ever detail is given close attention, the maker of the sports betting odds usually form a number which will be acceptable to both sides of the bet. To put it simply, the number is considered dependant on its quality to attract enough attention on every side of the bet. So, if for instance, almost all of the bets fall in one particular side of the bet, the initial number chosen by way of the sports betting odds number was perhaps not a good one. That's where actually the sportbooks come in to alter the line up or down in order to persuade folks in an attempt to bet on the other side.
The sports betting odds are also determined by the odds makers by checking out the everyday information about the event or game. The details is then employed to adjust spreads as the season progresses. Also, the basic digits are calculated and analyzed before season on the game starts. Additionally, it is the task of the sports betting odds makers to look at the seasons numbers of the previous events, like the off-season moves and transactions, health of the players, changes on coaching, along with other necessary information.
These factors are then used together through a series of special formulas as a way to form exactly what the people commonly call as "power rankings". The power ranking of every sports betting is often changed or adjusted based on its overall performance. And, the resulting number is employed to help determine the spread wagering gambling.
One main fact to be aware of with regards to the makers of sports betting odds is that they will not actually tell you that their job just isn't to predict an outcome of an event. They rather divide the public as who it thinks will win. So, before you consider betting on sports, try to conduct some research of the sportsbooks you bet at, and check the odds.

Alaska Gov. Bill Walker (I) suspended his re-election campaign on Friday.
Walker, an independent, first announced the news at an Alaska Federation of Natives conference and elaborated on his decision in an Instagram post.
"Every decision I have made as your governor, I have made on the basis of what I believe is best for Alaska. With that said, effective today, I am suspending my campaign for re-election as Governor," Walker wrote in the post.
"With more time, I am confident that [Lieutenant Gov. Valerie Davidson] and I could deliver a message and a campaign that could earn a victory in this election. But there are only 18 days remaining before election day. … In the time remaining, I believe we cannot win a three-way race."
Walker's departure sets up a tight competition between former state Sen. Mike Dunleavy (R) and former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich (D).
Walker endorsed Begich in his Instagram post, noting that Dunleavy has been critical of the expansion of Medicaid. Walker had been touting the Medicaid expansion in his state as a major accomplishment of his administration.
His announcement comes just three days after the state's lieutenant governor, Byron Mallott (D), abruptly resigned due to unspecified "inappropriate comments." Davidson hinted at a press conference that Mallott's comments may have been related to women.
Last month, Walker had announced his opposition to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford came forward with allegations that Kavanaugh had tried to rape her in high school, and two other women also accused him of sexual misconduct.
Walker was elected governor in 2014. He was previously a lawyer and a mayor of the city of Valdez, Alaska.

Wildlife Import/Export Procedures Tightened Ahead of ACE Transition
Fish and Wildlife Service regulations allow for the issuance of a permit authorizing the importation and exportation of wildlife at one or more ports not otherwise authorized (a designated port exception permit) when certain criteria are met, including the availability of an FWS officer. However, an agency press release states that it is "critical" for wildlife inspectors to be staffed at ports of clearance as the Service moves forward with implementation of the International Trade Data System and begins to pilot the FWS import message set submitted through the Automated Commercial Environment. As a result, effective Oct. 18 the FWS will no longer issue DPEPs to authorize a non-staffed port when the applicant is required to file a U.S. Customs and Border Protection entry for any import activity.

Learn more about winter fire safety at open dayBy Deniliquin Pastoral Times
Deniliquin's Fire & Rescue NSW is urging residents to take every precaution this winter to avoid a fire in the home.
Deniliquin brigade Captain Martin Smith said firefighters usually see a 10 per cent increase in the number of home fires during the cooler months, particularly in bedrooms and lounge rooms where heaters, electric blankets and similar appliances are used.
''Do not put yourself or your family at risk,'' Capt Smith said.
''We want to remind people to be careful when using heaters and to keep everything in the house a metre from the heater.
''As we head into the colder months, make sure you have good, safe, operating equipment if you are going to leave the heater on or other heating equipment.
''If you have any concerns, be actively safe and get the appropriate trade staff to check it out.''
Other simple steps you can take to prepare your home against the risk of fire this winter include:
●Turning off heaters and electric blankets before leaving home or getting into bed.
●Cleaning lint filters in the clothes dryer before and after each use.
●Do not overload powerboards.
●Keep candles away from curtains and put them out before leaving the room.
●Do not use LPG cylinders for cooking or heating indoors as they can leak. The gas is both toxic and highly explosive.
●Ensure you have a working smoke alarm.
Capt Smith said there is also a greater focus on the ''keep looking when cooking'' motto this year, to avoid kitchen fire catastrophes.
"Kitchen fires account for 45 per cent of all residential fires and 34 per cent of injuries in New South Wales,'' he said.
''Flames or heat sources being left unattended are the most common cause contributing to kitchen fires.
''It can take just three minutes for a fire to take hold, but only seconds to prevent one.''
FRNSW recommends the following simple safety checklist for home cooks:
●Never leave cooking unattended. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove.
●Do not put anything metallic in the microwave.
●Keep matches and lighters out of reach of children.
●Do not cook under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
●Keep your oven and rangehood clean. Excess grease and fat can ignite a fire.
●If your pan catches fire, do not throw water on it; get out, stay out and call triple zero (000).
You can learn more about winter fire safety at tomorrow's Deniliquin FRNSW open day, to be held at the George St station from 10am to 2pm.
The open day will include safety demonstrations, fire station tours, the chance to inspect firefighting equipment and trucks used by firefighters and various kids activities. There will also be a free sausage sizzle.

La Descente de Croix, by Baccio Bandinelli
The bronze relief, by Baccio Bandinelli, was created in 1528 and can be found at the Louvre, in Paris. It is called La Descente de Croix or The Descent from the Cross. Bandinelli, actually born Bartolommeo Brandini, was the son of a successful Florentine goldsmith, which is where Bandinelli got his start. He became an apprentice at his father's shop and then later studied under Giovanni Francesco Rustici who was a sculptor friend of Leonardo da Vinci. Under Rustici, Bandinelli sculpted his first major work, a wax sculpture of Saint Jerome for a member of the Medici family. It was always rumored that Bandinelli had an obsession with Michelangelo. One of Bandinelli's students, Giorgio Vasari, said that he once secretly destroyed a picture of the great artist. Some said that it was because of his hatred for Michelangelo or because of his affection for da Vinci. Still others said of the event that Bandinelli wanted a piece of the picture always with him or that he did not want other artists to be able to copy the picture for themselves. In any event, Bandinelli's reputation was tainted.
Ultimately, Bandinelli's attempts to be as talented and successful as Michelangelo led to his disappointments as an artist. Because he wanted so much to be as good Michelangelo, he tried to do things he was not qualified to do. As Vasari said, "He did nothing but make sketches and finished little. All the freshness of his first approach to a subject was lost in the laborious execution in marble… A brilliant draughtsman and excellent small-scale sculptor, he had a morbid fascination for colossi, which he was ill equipped to execute. His failure as a sculptor on a grand scale was accentuated by his desire to imitate Michelangelo."
The Medici family commissioned one of Bandinelli's more famous pieces, Hercules and Cacus, but when Rome was sacked in 1527, the pope was taken prisoner and the Medici family was exiled. Because of his association with the Medici family, Bandinelli had to leave as well. He did not return to Florence until the Medici returned to power. The statue was completed in 1534, but faced ridicule from the day it was unveiled. When one of his competitors described it like "a sack of melons," Bandinelli sabotaged his career.
Among some of his other works are a copy of Laocoon, which resides at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the tombs of two of the Medici popes, a bust of Cosimo I de' Medici which is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and some works for the Duomo in Florence as well as some pieces in the Palazzo Vecchio. He also did a Pieta, which is in the Basillica della Santissima Annunziata, or the Basilica of the Most Holy Annunciation, which is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Florence, Italy. This is where Bandinelli is buried with his wife.
Although his legacy is not as impressive as he had hoped, Bandinelli made significant contributions to society as an artist. He was a skilled draughtsman; he just lacked talent as a sculptor in comparison with the great names of the day like Michelangelo.

LUMMOX magazine Returns

Please contact me with for sizes and prices. All submissions must be made before Sept. 1, 2012.
I have three interviews planned, but am always interested in new ideas. Another planned feature will be "Guest Editors" who will introduce 2 – 3 poems by 8-10 poets. I already have several Guest Editors signed up (one is in Nigeria)! So, if you are interested in becoming a GE, let me know.
I'm offering a pre-publication subscription of $20 (USA) & $30 (World) for the first issue. It will retail for $30 a year, plus shipping. Visit the following link for details. Click here.

Paul Lewis, Chief Executive Officer, Carbon Credentials
Industry View from
The message is clear: in 2018 the IPCC Report confirmed that we have until 2030 to take action to avoid global climate disaster, with naturalist David Attenborough declaring climate change as "our greatest threat in thousands of years". And at Carbon Credentials, we cannot think of a bigger risk to businesses than a risk to humanity itself.
Yet our research found that only 10 per cent of companies surveyed have set a carbon reduction target. While there is support among employees for reducing carbon emissions, 57 per cent of respondents told us their company isn't doing enough to involve them in these goals. It is clear that businesses have more to do.
There is an incredible opportunity for business leaders to look at the challenge that lies ahead and respond effectively. We recognise businesses have responsibilities to their shareholders and their bottom line, but there is a wealth of evidence to show that sustainability is profitable within a short timescale. Furthermore, sustainability is good for brands – increasingly, there is pressure from shareholders to improve transparency and display real commitment to sustainability.
A robust and ambitious response to this pressure is to set science-based targets which provide companies with a roadmap for long-term, effective strategies for carbon emission reduction. This strategy aligns company targets with the Paris Agreement, and lends transparency to value chain emissions.
The fight against climate change is everyone's, and businesses are in a unique position to lead the charge.

Improving Decision-Making Despite Non-rational Escalation of Commitment
Hilbig et al. state that there are two kinds of thinking when decision-making occurs: intuitive thinking and deliberate thinking. The former deals with automatic thinking that is quick and generally without much effort. This is contrast to the latter that characterizes a slower and effort approach to the thinking process. These authors suggest that, to counteract the efforts and delay in time for deliberate thinking, the recognition heuristic (RH) be used in cases when deliberate thinking must be used. Basically, the RH outlines the cue of instant recognition that one can use when judging which decision to embark on, ignoring all other factors and information. Thus, the RH can be an effective and effort-reducing tool (and quicker as well) when decision-making, and therefore beneficial in the domain of deliberate thinking especially, which is ...

My dad served for 22 years in the Army- went to Iraq too- and is now a civilian contractor over there. People go there to make money. The project I was on had clear goals. Worked hand in hand with Iraqis. There is no doubt that money is wasted. The Govt. funds massive projects that they most definitely shouldn't. Every contractor I worked with knew the danger they faced. No one was STUPID enough to think it was "safe". Anything can happen over there. There were soldiers that were pissed and that were indifferent about the civilians. Yes, they make more money. That is the Govt's doing. They are allowing these private corporations over there with huge contracts. Iraq has decades to go before it can effectively use the skills, equipment and depots that these contracts have spent billions on. Premature mos def.

The history of mankind has it that human beings have the most vulnerable body in all animals. Supplements are expensive in that few people are able to afford it. There are many minerals in our body that help us to perform correctly but if the levels reduce they need to be recovered by taking supplements. There are many positive cases about supplements in our society that's why it is very assisting in your health.
It is advisable to get an online doctor who will prescribe for your supplements after closely examining you. It is clear that supplements are important to the way the body functions. It is the role of the individual to make sure that their body is kept in good shape.
The minerals in our bodies need regular rejuvenation to ensure that the body performs to its limit. For many people, they may not have the right levels of minerals in their body thus one need regular intake of artificial minerals. The way our bodies react to a different environment is as a result of the minerals in your body that facilitate the channeling of hormones to all the body parts.
In the 21st century the technology used to manufacture this type of supplementary products include heavy investment in machinery. Every company involved in the manufacture of any formulas they must seek a license.
Necessary adjustment must be put in in some manufacturing processes in order to keep up with the growing demand for artificial diets. There are parts of our body that need high levels of minerals than other so always any individual should ensure that the mineral intake is consistent. Companies that produce supplements have websites that have helped them to improve their services through the customer reviews. There are other ways to improve the levels of minerals in the body through a strict lifestyle that concerns your feeding habits.
Supplements are a manmade formula to help the body repair itself to its original state while, the natural diet perform similarly since they all try to increase the mineral levels. The consumed products from the supplement producing company are highly examined to prevent any chances of side effects. One should ensure that the formula he/she chooses is best for him/her.
If you are unable to access a medical professional one is advised to visit online doctors who charge a certain fee after a certain consultancy service. One should prevent any type of consumption of large amounts of the supplements. Some supplements are applied to children who have a deficiency of a certain mineral in the body.

As a result, I was immediately drawn to the Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Balm in the store when I walked past it. Seriously, "aura", "baby" and "glow"? Etude House sure knew which keywords to include in a product name to make it attractive. I wasn't sure if I want a "glowy" product since I have very oily skin but the sales assistant assured me that it wouldn't make my skin look too shiny or oily, just very natural and youthful looking with a healthy glow.
The next thing I know, I was photographing the Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Balm in my room.

Dora, Jay Krishan (2014) Mechanical properties of Pd, Pt and its alloy nanowires studied by molecular dynamics simulations. MTech thesis.
The research work carried out in this thesis with the help of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques to study the mechanical properties of Pd, Pt and Pd50-Pt50 alloy nanowire. Classical molecular dynamics simulation deformation studies of Pd, Pt and Pd50-Pt50were acted upon using LAMMPS (Large scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator). The ductile nature of Pd, Pt and its alloy nanowire is observed through a series of VMD (visual molecular dynamics) snapshots taken at different strains. Mechanical properties were evaluated by subjecting the nanowires to uniaxial tensile deformation at varying strain rates and temperature. It was found that nanowires were sensitive to strain rate and temperature conditions. There are five strain rates (1%, 3%, 5%, 8%,and 10% ps-1) at which MD simulations have been done. Also tensile deformation has been done at four different temperatures (100K, 300K, 500K, and 700K). Strain rate sensitivity of the mentioned nanowire is also evaluated. It is found that strain rate sensitivity fluctuates with respect to temperature.

If you weren't at the TCSA debates last Thursday, then I hope you got a chance to listen to them on Trent Radio. The event made it very clear to me who I ought to be supporting, and I'd find it hard to believe that anyone could have left feeling differently.
Let's start with the moderation. The questions Moderator and Chief Electoral Officer Stephanie Laing-McKay posed to candidates were tough but fair. They succeeded in pulling out crucial information about each candidates platform, ideas, biases, and vision for the TCSA.
Furthermore, when it seemed like the Presidential debates might devolve into a shouting match, Laing-McKay intervened, and somehow managed to ensure the rest of the debate was civil, and relatively peaceful.
The audience's questions were also thoughtful and interesting. They largely dealt with important issues, and I think both the candidates and other audience members appreciated them. I certainly did.
When it comes to the debaters themselves, I was impressed by the civility of the Vice Presidential candidates especially.
While both candidates for VP University and College Affairs—Kelsi Dalton and Pippa O'Brien—share a few ideas, they disagree on a number of crucial points. They expressed these differences in a way that clearly articulated their own vision and its merits.
As for VP Campaigns and Equity, that debate also saw a round of excellent, civil discussion. Those candidates ended up having a lot in common in terms of vision, but key differences in approach and priorities were made visible.
Despite about three questions on the topic, none of the candidates—Asgiga Corriveau, Betty Wondimu, or Hilary Stafford—would take an explicitly pro- or anti-Canadian Federation of Students stance. They seemed to agree that wasn't the role of the VP to make that decision—it is the students'. Furthermore, regardless of students' choice, they would work with it.
No doubt a vocal minority wanted to make CFS defederation a wedge issue, but these candidates had no interest in that. The focus was where it ought to have been: on specific questions regarding campaigns and equity.
The Presidential debates—featuring Jeff Campbell, Chris Mckinnon, Brendan Edge, and Alaine Spiwak— took up half of the evening. While they were more contentious and more personal than either of the VP debates, they too were successful at making each candidate's position and opinions clear as day.
As mentioned, at several points the debate nearly devolved into yelling matches. At times it resembled the 2014 Ontario election debate, in which candidates were more interested in providing a clever quip to use as a takeaway soundbyte than they were in discussion about the issues.
But, the candidates who kept their cool and stuck to their plan did themselves a favour. Not just by presenting themselves as calm and level-headed, but also by addressing the cacophonous concerns raised.
They demonstrated a willingness to work with even the most difficult, and still take them seriously, despite their outbursts. Given the current political context at Trent, that's a good skill to have, regardless of your viewpoint.
Matt and I have a policy against making public endorsements, and as such I'll be keeping my wishlist for the 2015-16 TCSA executive a secret.
One thing is certain though—after Thursday's debates, I clearly know who those candidates are.

Coronation Street to get a Co-op and Costa in product placement deal
The Co-op supermarket and Costa Coffee will open branches on Coronation Street in a groundbreaking product placement deal.
The shops will be added in an expansion of the ITV soap's set this spring.
However they won't be full stores and characters won't be filmed inside.
An ITV spokeswoman said they wouldn't threaten Weatherfield's existing Roy's Rolls cafe, The Kabin or Dev's shops, saying: "There's no change to the shops we've currently got."
The broadcaster wouldn't comment on how much the deal will be worth, but it's their biggest product placement agreement to date.
It's also the first time full shopfronts have appeared on an ITV show as product placement.
As well as the shop fronts, ITV said other items including posters, bags and cups would be "integrated across the iconic soap".
Product placement was first allowed on British commercial television seven years ago, but until now the deals have involved individual items rather than entire shops.
The move comes amid falling revenues from conventional advertising. In November, ITV said it expected its net advertising revenue would be down 5% across last year.
'Exciting opportunity'
TV analyst Gill Hind of Enders Analysis said: "This is opening up new revenue streams so they're taking advantage of product placement in their highest-demand property.
"It's a great opportunity for them but they'll have to be mindful that it's not intrusive and doesn't detract from the strength of the programme."
ITV's sales director Mark Trinder said said the expansion of the Salford Quays set was "a great opportunity to feature branded shop facades".
He added: "Incorporating product placement on this scale is something we have wanted to do for some time and we're delighted with this exciting opportunity.
"We've worked really closely with the Coronation Street team to make sure we've got a great brand fit for Co-op and Costa Coffee with the nation's favourite soap while still ensuring editorial integrity."

The size of the Kingdom and the implementation of its ambitious development program necessitated the creation of a highly efficient postal and telecommunications system.
The Ministry of Post, Telegraphs and Telephones was established in 1976 (1396 AH), taking over responsibility for post and telecommunication from the older Ministry of Communications. The new Ministry immediately set about creating the highly sophisticated telecommunications service which all those in the Kingdom (government, industry, commerce and the public) now enjoy.
In 2003, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology was established to bring together responsibility for all modern communications technologies.

Just for the record, here I am at 32.5 weeks along.....
(this picture makes me look much smaller than I am/feel (I guess black is slimming). I feel pretty uncomfortable in my jeans now...I am ready for him to come out (lol)!!!
And now, back to my holiday spiel. Even though as I grow older, the holidays (for me) are less about presents and more about family, I did want to share one gift that I gave this year that I put some thought into.
Back-story - I don't talk about him too much on here, but my husband is a wonderfully sweet and funny guy. He has a huge heart and is SOOO excited about the upcoming arrival of our little boy in February! As he relates to this post, he has not traditionally been a Christmas celebrator. He grew up Jewish, and his family is amazingly festive and fun during the holidays...it's just a different kind of festive than having the tree, stockings, and jolly-big-fat-guy that a lot of us identify with. I am in love with his mom's enthusiasm when it comes to the holidays. She makes it clear that it's not about getting, it's about being good people in the world and loving wholeheartedly. She truly is an amazing lady. In regards to "our little family" and how things will go in the future, I have been planting the seed that while I am not really a religious person, I am a VERY festive and traditional person, and I have such fond memories of celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah (my dad is Jewish too) as a child. I really want our kids to have similar traditions to the ones that I have always cherished; the best of both worlds, we would always say. Soooo.....this year, I did get my husband a "Christmas" gift (well....a holiday gift that I put under Ali's tree and gave to him on Christmas morning).....
Ok, so I don't have a picture of the actual gift (ha!), but that was the card attached to it. I got my husband a super cool backpack filled with all of the "baby essentials" that he will need when he and Oliver venture out into the world together!! You know....a changing pad, diapers, wipes, diaper creme, powder, burp cloth, dirty diaper disposal bags, toy (you get the idea). Now I know that Ollie will be attached to me mostly in the beginning (being that I plan to be his food source), but if and when his daddy is ready to take him on a solo adventure (and give mommy some much needed alone time that I am sure she will be craving), he will be all set!!
I wanted to make sure that my husband knows how much I appreciate him and how much he will be needed during this special time. He is a very hands-on guy, and I feel SUPER lucky about that! So, I hope the gift showed him that I am looking forward to being "Mom and Dad" with him and that I can't wait to see him with his very own mini-me!
Now we get to wait in anticipation to see who he will look like most. Here is an adorable picture of my husband (the little Jewish boy) dressed up like Santa back in the day..... (ha!)
Look at that double chin and those hazel eyes - SO cute!! Oddly enough, I can't put my finger on any of my baby pictures at the moment, but once I do, I will post some. It will be fun to compare and contrast!
And finally, just for fun, here are some pictures of my husband and me from 2010 (some of our engagement photos)....
...and soon....baby will make 3! :) YAY!
xo Happy Tuesday!
