Although only 16 years of age, 6'3" and 187-pound forward Adam Ruzicka was very noticeable in a top-nine role for Slovakia at the recent Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. Banging his body into opponents whenever necessary, Ruzicka seemed to improve from game to game, quickly adjusting to the demands of international hockey.
Like several of his teammates, Ruzicka won't be a draft topic until 2017, but he's putting himself on the map for that draft already.
Hockey's Future got in a few words about his hockey thoughts after the tournament-ending shootout against Switzerland.
Hockey's Future: You just finished off the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament here in Slovakia. What did you learn here?
Adam Ruzicka: I learned to block shots! Got a couple of welts in the process. I've learned to play physical, or at least how important it is to play physically. I also learned why coaches can put so much emphasis on playing responsibly in your own end and thinking defense first.
HF: What will you be doing this season?
AR: At the moment, I'm scheduled to go play for Pardubice's U20 team in the Czech Republic. There's also been talk about the possibility of me seeing some action in the men's team at the pro level, so we'll see if they feel I'm ready at some point this season.
HF: You're a pretty big kid for your age. How do you generally describe yourself as a player?
AR: My body strength and power forward attitude have been strengths to date. My ability to cover the puck and keep my body between the puck and the opponent, especially along the boards is one of the things I excel at. I like to grab the puck off the boards and immediately bring it to the net or go to the net myself. For a teenager my size and age, I think I'm a pretty good skater.
HF: Do you have a favorite player or role model out there?
AR: It's Jaromir Jagr. He's been a legend as long as I've been alive. He's definitely a guy I see as my idol.
HF: Any chance you'd be open to play in North America before your draft year, maybe in Canadian juniors?
AR: Anything is possible, but we'll see how things go first with Pardubice. That's what I'm going to concentrate on now.
HF: Is it your goal to represent Slovakia already next spring at the U18 World Championship?
AR: I think that is every player under 18 in Slovakia's goal. It's mine too. I plan on doing whatever is necessary to be there.
HF: You're still two years away from your NHL Draft eligibility. Where do you want to be as a player in two years' time?
AR: I see myself playing in North America by then, most particularly in the Canadian junior league's somewhere. As far as the draft in 2017 is concerned, I think it will all come down to if I make it over to North America and then how I play there. I believe it's the best stage to present yourself on in your draft year. Scouts are at every game. My play that year will be decisive.
HF: Plenty of scouts at this tournament. Did you notice them while playing?
AR: I didn't pay attention to them. I wanted to concentrate on my play and contribute to the team's success. That's what being here was about.

Bungie Releases Some More Destiny Goodies
Bungie, definitely in a gracious mood these days, has released two more images relating to their upcoming blockbuster (and yes, I'm designating it as such already), Destiny.
The first image is of some red sand dunes on Mars, where there's apparently a lost city in there somewhere (we can't see it).
In #Destiny, your journey to Mars will take you to a city lost to the red sands. pic.twitter.com/zoMKXSUStE
— Destiny The Game (@DestinyTheGame) January 27, 2014
The second image is of a "Did You Know" graphic, which might be an ongoing Bungie fact-breaking segment, highlighting certain pieces of information about the game. In this one, we learn:
"Each weapon in Destiny is as unique as the Guardian who wields it."

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on sexual harassment in Hollywood (all times local):
5 p.m.
Harvey Weinstein is suing his former company seeking access to his employment file and emails to help defend the former film mogul from multiple investigations.
Weinstein's lawsuit against the company he co-founded cites the fallen mogul's need to defend himself in potential civil and criminal cases for needing to access the records. He also cites the possibility of suing for wrongful termination.
The lawsuit filed in Delaware on Thursday states that Weinstein believes his email account will exonerate him and The Weinstein Co. from claims leveled against him. Weinstein was fired from the company on Oct. 8, days after reports of sexual harassment by the producer ran in the New York Times.
The suit also states Weinstein's contention that he can provide context to his emails that would help defend against a civil rights investigation launched by New York's attorney general.
An email seeking comment from The Weinstein Co. was not immediately returned.
12:50 p.m.
The Lexus luxury vehicle brand is ending its agreements with The Weinstein Co. after dozens of allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Harvey Weinstein.
A spokeswoman for the brand owned by Toyota Motor Corp. confirmed the decision on Thursday.
Lexus was a sponsor and had product placement in The Weinstein Co.'s "Project Runway" reality television show. Spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell says the last episode with Lexus sponsorship aired earlier in October and no other shows are pending.
Also cut was Lexus Short Films, which helped emerging filmmakers become better known through The Weinstein Co.
"Lexus will continue to explore opportunities that allow the brand to support emerging creative people in the film and fashion realms," Hubbell said in a statement.
8:05 a.m.
Actress Ashley Judd says she escaped Harvey Weinstein's sexual advances by making a deal.
She says she told him, yes, she would submit to him only after winning an Oscar in one of his movies.
Then she says she fled from his hotel room where, two decades ago, she had arrived as a young actress for what she thought would be a business meeting.
Appearing on Thursday's "Good Morning America," Judd says she remains of two minds about how she handled the confrontation. She says she feels ashamed. She also credits her snap decision as brilliant.
Judd was among the first of what has become dozens of women alleging sexual harassment or assault by Weinstein, who is now under criminal investigation for rape in London, New York and Los Angeles.

How to Reupholster Without Taking the Whole Couch Apart
Buying a new couch is generally a costly undertaking. You may choose to reupholster the piece instead. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to keep the frame of a nice sofa while updating the upholstery to better coordinate with your home decor. Upholstering, while an accessible project for a layman, is still time-consuming and laborious. If you want to get the look of reupholstering without the hassle of taking the whole couch apart, consider some quick reupholstering tricks to save time.
Step 1
Replace the cushion to the couch as needed. Typically, this requires removing the existing cushions and fabric. You can, however, choose to cut new upholstery foam to size and use spray adhesive to attach it to the couch. Staple an even layer of cotton batting over the worn areas.
Step 2
Position new upholstery fabric over the outside sofa back, draping approximately a half-inch over the edge. Drape another piece of fabric over the inside back of the couch and stretch tightly across the width.
Step 3
Place flexible jaw stripping over the top seam of the couch. Hammer it in place gently with a mallet to push the fabric into the seam of the couch.
Step 4
Pull fabric taut to the underside of the couch frame and staple it into place. Then, staple discretely along the inside framing of the couch, pulling taut as you go. Cut off excess material.
Step 5
Cover the cushions of the couch with new upholstery fabric. If the cushion is removable, sew slip covers by doubling the fabric print-side in, sewing along the sides to fit the cushion, turning the fabric right-side out and slipping it over the cushion. If the sofa cushion is not removable, staple the fabric directly to the inside and underside of the sofa frame.
Step 6
Drape fabric over the arm rests. Staple the fabric to the frame of the couch. To upholster around the curves, create small pleats by folding the fabric inch by inch and stapling as you go. If the fabric will not lay flat, cut small vertical slits to help the fabric fall more naturally.
Step 7
Cover staple lines or exposed seams with decorative ribbon or piping. Run a bead of hot glue along the area you want to cover and press the ribbon or piping in place. Cut off excess material.
Things You Will Need
- Upholstery foam
- Spray adhesive
- Cotton batting
- Staple gun
- Fabric
- Flexible jaw stripping
- Mallet
- Scissors
- Ribbon or piping
- Hot glue gun

The suspension is an independent rear suspension taken from a Honda S2000. This requires constructing a new cradle for the A-arms as well as the differential mounts.
The pictures show the original OEM cradle and how it was used as a template to create new members that will be attached to the frame. The entire rear section of the frame had to be removed and will be rebuilt around the new suspension framework.
Once the differential was mounted it became obvious that I would need to notch the lower frame to clear the axle. Once everything is mocked up, I may rebuild.
Added a new Video of the mockup

Systolic heart failure affects an estimated 3.5 million people in the U.S. alone. Also known as HFrEF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), diseases of systolic heart failure are all characterized by a heart that is unable to contract (or pump) with sufficient force to meet the needs of the body for oxygenated blood. In DCM, the loss of contractility leads the walls of the left ventricle to become thin and over-expanded, functioning under increased stress. DCM may have diverse causation factors; some genetic forms occur when mutations disrupt the ability of individual myosin motors to form cross-bridges with actin, decreasing the force of contraction.
DCM is a life-threatening progressive disease. Typical symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the extremities or an irregular heartbeat. Once symptoms appear, a person's condition typically declines steadily over the next few years. As the disease progresses, DCM patients may become increasingly debilitated and experience persistent shortness of breath, even at rest.
In addition to the inability to pump effectively, the diastolic function of the DCM heart is also impaired because the heart is expanded, inhibiting the ability for the left ventricle to properly relax and fill with blood. The heart itself may become deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen and contribute to fibrosis and the risk of dangerous heart rhythm disturbances. In addition, whether or not symptoms have appeared, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are at risk of sudden cardiac death.
DCM patients are typically prescribed one or more drugs indicated for the treatment of systolic heart failure generally, such as diuretics, beta blockers, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and aldosterone antagonists. By treating various signs and symptoms of heart disease, these drugs may reduce overall morbidity and mortality; however, none of the treatments address the underlying cause of disease or eliminate disease progression. Surgical or interventional options available to DCM patients include use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, a biventricular pacemaker, and in refractory patients, a left ventricular assist device and cardiac transplant.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment against seven people who conspired to harbor an illegal immigrant who is accused of killing an Indian American police officer in Newman, California.
According to a Department of Justice press release, Erik Razo‑Quiroz, 29, of Merced; Adrian Virgen-Mendoza, 25, of Fairfield; Conrado Virgen‑Mendoza, 34, of Chowchilla; Erasmo Villegas-Suarez, 36, of Buttonwillow; Ana Leydi Cervantes-Sanchez, 31, of Newman; Bernabe Madrigal-Castaneda, 59, of Lamont; and Maria Luisa Moreno, 57, of Lamont, were charged with conspiring to harbor and conceal Gustavo Perez Arriaga, who shot and killed Officer Ronil Singh on December 26, 2018 in Newman, California.
In addition, Razo‑Quiroz is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, as well as an illegal immigrant in possession of a firearm.
"Law enforcement agencies that are sworn to protect the public can accomplish their mission only when they have the active cooperation and support of the community they serve. Officers who serve our community put their lives on the line every day to protect us, and they deserve that cooperation and support," U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott stated. "When individuals act to thwart law enforcement's efforts, they undermine the safety of those officers and the public as a whole. Today's indictment is a significant step toward holding accountable those who chose to harbor and conceal the man accused of killing a police officer in Newman, California, Corporal Ronil Singh."
According to court documents, between December 26 and 28, the defendants conspired to harbor and conceal Arriaga, while he was on the run for the alleged murder of Singh.
According to an earlier News India Times report, Singh had pulled over Arriaga at a traffic stop on the morning of December 26, 2018, where he shot Singh, who later died at the hospital.
Since then, the seven defendants have helped conceal and harbor Arriaga, despite knowing that he had killed a police officer.
The defendants transported, hosted and provisioned Arriaga with clothes, money and a new cell phone; concealed the truck that Arriaga was driving when he allegedly killed Corporal Singh and made plans and wired money to smuggle Arriaga out of California and back to Mexico, according to a Department of Justice press release.
Additionally, Razo-Quiroz, who is also a convicted felon, disposed of the gun that Arriaga allegedly used to murder Corporal Singh.
If convicted of the firearms offenses, Razo-Quiroz faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine while the conspiracy charge carries a maximum statutory penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Cut from a different cloth
Why co-designed fabrics should feature on your next project:
Woven fabrics have come a long way from their beginnings as one of humankind's earliest technological innovations. Technology is influencing the applications of fabric in contract environments such as schools, universities and offices where organisations are creating warmer, more homely spaces. Soft seating, decorative wallpapers, interesting floor coverings, artwork and accessories are being included.
Now that better fabrics can be produced at a lower cost, both environmentally and economically, unprecedented levels of personalisation can be achieved. Whether it is a school or a major corporate headquarters, a unique fabric can be created that will help add to the uniqueness and distinctiveness of a space, making it more function-appropriate, beautiful and inhabitable.
Creating a unique environment people are proud to work in has never been easier. Office interiors are becoming more residential in feel, offering comfort and focussing on the wellbeing of people who use these spaces. For high traffic, high wear contract furnishings, finding a balance between durability and tactility can be a challenge. You want upholstery to be soft, but you can't avoid that it will be subject to higher abrasion rates than domestic furniture, not to mention coffee spills! Collaborations between designers like myself, manufacturers and suppliers lets you have a seamless bespoke end result, as we help put unique ideas into commercial products.
- Natasha Marshall, Designer
As a contract furniture manufacturer, KI has seen customer needs evolve over its 25-year history in the UK. Steel storage and workstations of KI's earlier days are being transformed and complemented with upholstered screens and seating. Traditional classroom chairs are finding themselves alongside lounge seating in spaces designed to support new ways of learning. Being able to customise fabrics for upholstery, screening and surfaces allows designers to have even more freedom to create the right components when they are trying to attain certifications and broader objectives.

Published 3 years ago
At our last fulfillment party, we were packaging our Bookroo boxes when my three-year-old found the flyers we were putting in the boxes. For those of you not familiar with our boxes or flyers, we include a flyer that has a write-up sharing interesting details about each book we include. Next to the title of each book, we also have a small picture representing the book. For our Catch that Cookie book, we had a picture of a gingerbread man. When my little boy saw this, he came running over to me, "Mom! Look! They gave us a recipe! It tells us how to make these cookies!"
Rather than disappoint him by explaining to him that it was just a description of the book and not really a recipe, I told him what it said and that we should indeed make cookies. What a great idea!
Image credit: Everyday Reading
As we all know, three-year-olds do not forget promises to make cookies. So for the last few weeks, my boy has been asking if we can make our gingerbread man cookies. Since it is the season of gingerbread, I thought we better make time to do the cookies now. (In other words, you can thank him for inspiring this post :) Nothing beats settling in with some freshly-baked gingerbread cookies and warm hot cocoa while reading a book and awaiting the arrival of your next Bookroo box . . . and Christmas of course!
And since I thought many of you might be getting similar requests from your littles for gingerbread houses or cookies, I thought you might appreciate my sharing the delicious recipe I used.
The exciting thing is that the recipe I am going to share is not just any gingerbread cookie recipe; it is from the amazingly talented Tara Teaspoon! She is a gifted food styler, blogger and dear friend of ours from New York City. If you haven't seen her stuff, you have got to check it out: tarateaspoon.com. Before starting her own company styling food and developing recipes, she worked as the food editor at Martha Stewart, then as the Entertaining Director at Ladies Home Journal. She has been featured on Food Network, KSL, Fox and Friends and the Today Show. (I can tell you she is a lot more polished than I am when she makes guest appearances for the news–many of you will remember what I'm talking about; for those of you who don't, you can read about what not to say on the news.)
Okay, back to gingerbread. Here is the link to the gingerbread cookie recipe developed by Tara. As Tara explains, "There are so many gingerbread recipes out there, what makes these perfect? Well I like mine slightly soft, but not too cakey! This simple recipe creates cookies that are soft with just a little crisp edge."
My boys loved, loved, LOVED rolling the dough and cutting out the gingerbread men. Then we made eyes and buttons with little chocolates.
But making our gingerbread men was only half the fun. Once we popped them in the oven, my three-year old asked, "Do you think they are going to run away?"
For those of you that have read Catch that Cookie from our November Bookroo box, that question probably sounds familiar. Having read the book with my boys countless times already, I suspected they might ask me just such a question. And in preparation, I had worked with my husband to come up with a set of clues that would lead our boys around our home on our own gingerbread man scavenger hunt!
To begin with, while the gingerbread were in the oven I took my boys into their bedroom to get ready for the day. I didn't set a timer on the oven but just watched the time on my phone. When our cookies were done, I slipped back into the kitchen, turned the oven off, took the cookies from the oven, hid them in the cupboard, and placed the first clue on the empty cookie tray. Then I set a one minute timer on the oven and slipped back to the bedroom. When my boys heard the timer go off, we ran to the kitchen together. Breathlessly my oldest looked in the oven window then excitedly announced, "They ran away! They're gone!" I opened the oven door and carefully reached for the clue. "Look," I said, "they've left us a clue!" Then I read them the clue:
We see you came lookin',
But we're already done cookin',
We slipped away without a noise.
If you want to find us, look in your _ _ _ _!
My boys don't quite capture rhymes yet, but with a little prompting I helped them realize the clue led them to their toys :). They ran to their room to look in their toy closet, but they almost left the room empty handed until they finally noticed some chocolates "left behind" by the gingerbread men. There was also another clue:
Playtime was so much fun,
But now we're back on the run!
Learning lots, come take a look
At the adventures we've found in a _ _ _ _!
While we keep a lot of the boys' books on a bookcase in their room, I suggested they check the pile of holiday books we have on an end table in the front room. Sure enough, there we found another clue:
Because it's winter out,
We've decided our next route.
It's time to play in the snow,
Then warm up inside with some hot _ _ _ _ _!
My boys are obsessed with hot cocoa. But before we went for the cocoa, we dressed up in our boots and coats and went outside to look for the cookies on the run. While the boys looked around the back yard, I snuck back in, pulled the gingerbread men from their hiding spot in the cupboard, and set them out with some hot cocoa. I joined the boys back outside, but when we couldn't find them, I suggested we go back inside to see if they were warming up with some hot cocoa. Sure enough, there were those cookies, at the table sleeping on their plates after enjoying some hot cocoa.
Now, up to this point, all of this was planned out and prepared ahead of time. And I thought we were done. But after we drank our cocoa, I was moving on with the day and loaded the boys in the car for a trip to the store. All through the trip they couldn't stop talking about the gingerbread men and wondering if they would run and hide before we got home! "Ahhh!" I was thinking to myself, listening to them ramble on so excitedly, "what am I going to do?" Well, when we got back home, those gingerbread men had managed to "sneak" back into the cupboard. I got lunch ready while the boys searched the house for them. Once I finally convinced the boys to sit down and eat their lunch, I quickly came up with another clue. As we went for naps, we found a note on the boys' bed that said:
We fell asleep, hope you don't mind,
Please don't wake us, if you'd be so kind.
We need our sleep, and you do too.
When you wake up, we'll find you!
So my boys willingly went to bed, although the oldest couldn't get the gingerbread men off of his mind. And those gingerbread men were true to their word. They did find my boys while they slept in their beds, where they left them one last note:
We've had lots of fun,
But now we won't run.
You've caught us this time, so we'll be your snack,
But watch out for next year–we'll be back!
And just like that, a new family tradition was born :). And boy did we have so much fun with it!
So I hope you enjoy Tara's delicious gingerbread recipe. I'd love to hear how your cookies turn out, and especially where they hide and play.

'Game of Thrones' Star Bids Farewell to Winterfell: "It Was a Beautiful Ending"
[This story contains spoilers for season eight, episode three of HBO's Game of Thrones, "The Long Night."]
"What do we say to the God of Death?" It's an iconic Game of Thrones catchphrase, but not one commonly associated with Melisandre (Carice van Houten), the red priestess from Asshai. All the same, it's her final spoken line of dialogue in the series, assuming there's no further trickery with her final moment in director Miguel Sapochnik's "The Long Night," the longest episode of the series and the one in which Melisandre finally found some measure of peace.
It's the first and only episode for Melisandre in the final season, after only appearing in two episodes the prior season. When Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) all but chased the Red Woman out of Winterfell with pitchforks in hand back in season six, the message took hold. Creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss were conservative in the amount of Melisandre littered throughout these final two seasons, saving her return to the North for the ultimate purpose and promise baked into her character from the jump: all-out war against the night.
Melisandre doesn't open "The Long Night," but her appearance is the first major turn. She shows up on horseback out of the cold nothing, enflaming the Dothraki army's blades and filling the forces of the living with some much-needed hope. The hope is quickly extinguished alongside the Dothraki, but the Red Woman brings it roaring back to life when she summons all her power to light the trenches all around Winterfell. Her greater impact on the battle comes later, when she meets Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) in a cold hall, seconds after Beric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer) dies his final death. Here, Melisandre is able to reunite with Arya for the first time since they met on the road in season three — and here, their shared prophecy finally manifests: Arya is meant to kill the Night King, and Melisandre is meant to nudge her onto that path. With the nudge complete and the Night King's resulting defeat, Melisandre walks back out into the world, removes the magical amulet that keeps her young, and falls into a cold, dead heap in the snow.
Ahead, Carice van Houten joins The Hollywood Reporter to say goodbye to Melisandre, discuss the long night shoots involved in filming "The Long Night," and much more.
Congratulations on the end of your run.
Thank you. I'm very pleased. I'm very glad. The reactions I've gotten thus far have been great. It feels like a beautiful farewell. It's really satisfying to me. I'm really happy.
What was your reaction when you found out how Melisandre's story would end?
I knew that I had it coming, obviously. Nobody ever really told me, but it was pretty obvious. When I read it, I was just really happy and satisfied with the way it happened — the elegance of it, the subtlety, and the emotional side of her, which we haven't really seen much of. I got goosebumps when I read it. I thought it was a beautiful ending. I was very, very grateful.
Had you allowed yourself along the way to think about how the story would end for you? How did reality measure up to whatever you imagined?
I would have loved to know way more about her and her past. But that's also made her as mysterious as she was. I sort of like that I come back in and go out in the same episode. I really love that.
With the exception of two quick appearances last season, we haven't seen much of Melisandre since she left Winterfell in season six, under bleak circumstances. When she returns to Winterfell in "The Long Night," she immediately comes back with confidence.
Yes. As much as I didn't really know through all those years that this is what it was going to come down to, I did always know her [work] would be paid off in the end. These scenes, I did play them with a certain sense of … not calm, but yeah, confidence: "This is why I'm here. Once I've done what I have to do, I can go, and I can rest. I'm a few hundred years old, and I am tired." For these scenes, it's a matter of life and death, obviously. It's not calm. There's an intensity where everything has to fall into place and if she were to fail, things would have gone a bit wrong.
The work put into this episode is already legendary, with two months or so of night shoots. What do you recall about filming?
It felt like it was bigger than ever, this season. I felt like a small little puppet. There's always loads of extras and fire and cold and big sets, and this time, I felt like I was in a huge fucking action film.
Well, you were!
I know! (Laughs.) It's almost surreal. I do remember thinking there would be a moment later where I look back and say, "I was on that set. Did I enjoy it enough? Did I actually really live in the moment, and not just think about the cold?" It felt bigger than life. That tension was something we felt, in all of us — the crew, the cast, everyone. The lighting of the trenches, I do remember feeling so intense, and almost crying. It was the very last scene I shot, I think. It was mixed up with everything ending. By playing it so intensely, when the scene was over and my whole character was over, I really had to release. I started crying. The tension had built up so much. I did feel like I had a responsibility to show in that moment how big the stakes actually were. I love that it apparently has translated. As an actor? That's a fucking great feeling.
"The Long Night" is monumental within the story, not the least of which is because it pays off Melisandre meeting Arya all the way back in season three …
I thought it was great, how they planted those seeds such a long time ago. I really liked the way it was written, showing the girl power moment where she's like a coach [for Arya], and is basically like, "Go get 'em, girl!" It's a girl power moment. It's so satisfying to watch. I can imagine people watching it and saying, "Fuck yes! Fucking get him!" That's the little thing she needs to cross that line.
Game of Thrones has trained viewers to expect the worst, so it's a surprise when the best happens, and the Night King loses. What are your thoughts on how the victory plays out, and what it expresses — how all these incredible people are able to join together to fight and overcome the impossible?
It's a great wave we've been on with this show. I think it's a very positive note. Fantastical, obviously, but very positive. It's as you say: there's power in the connections between people. The show is not always what you expect it to be. We've surprised [the audience] again.
So much of your experience on Thrones has been connected to Liam Cunningham as Davos. Were you happy with your final scenes together?
I couldn't have wished for a better or nicer co-star than Liam. He really pulled me through a lot. It was great to be close to him until the end. It makes the relationship very interesting. It turns out we had a lot more in common, fighting for Stannis (Stephen Dillane) in different ways, but in the end, we both wanted the same guy [to pull through]. I got a very lovely message from Liam: "I'm sorry to not have been able to kill you." (Laughs.) "I'm sorry I did not get to kill you," he said. It was great to begin the whole thing with him and to end it with him. It's clever writing.
Game of Thrones ends for everyone soon, but it's now officially over for you. Any parting thoughts as you walk away from Melisandre and from this juggernaut of a series?
Being part of something that was such an epic show in the history of TV is something I'm always going to be really proud of and grateful for. It's opened loads of doors. It's the perfect [calling card]. It's brought me into contact with people who I never would have thought would even look at me, you know? I've been a voice on The Simpsons since then. I've been a Muppet. What the fuck! (Laughs.) I've had loads of opportunities in that sense. Mostly, I'm happy I was part of something that's really so unique in that it really connects all sorts of people. There's a bond that we have with people who have watched this. The simple fact of people talking to each other about this past week's episode … it doesn't even matter where you come from. The way you connect over it? I just fucking love that. In a world where there's less and less connection, I just love it.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Have a Yen for Great Gifts?
Japan's premier department store has a spin on the classic "One Day Sale."
Mitsukoshi was founded in 1673 to sell artisanal Kimono. Rather than the traditional door-to-door selling of the time, Mitsukoshi opened a small storefront in Echigo Province.
Had you visited Nihonbashi, Isetan's Mitsukoshi's flagship department store, in downtown Tokyo on March 1st, 2016, you would have found everything offered at a single, and singular, price.
Similar to a "99 cent store" concept, however all 125 items in the event were offered, "on sale" at 1 million Yen, or roughly $9,000, at current exchange rates.
You may purchase items including: his & hers silk Kimono, a crystal ball (I can already predict your future…), a century-old bonsai plant, a unique "Teddy Bear" by artist Karin De Lorenzo, a solid-gold lion, emeralds, rare coral, and more - they're all $9,000, today only.
Door busters? Perhaps not. However, the products are regularly $15,000 each. Mitsukoshi expects a total sell-out. They are offering consumers an option to "draw lots" for the gifts of their choice.
Retailers, worldwide, strive to provide discerning consumers with unique in-store experiences. Get in line.

Friday arrived in full glory. It is hard to believe that I've completed four weeks! Tempus fugit. The strawberries and sugar which I let sit overnight were ready to boil into jam. Since strawberries are extremely low in pectin (the "stuff" which makes jams set), we let the fruit marinate in sugar overnight, which somehow seems to help the setting process. You also need to add something that is traditionally high in pectin to help the jam set, such as lemon juice or redcurrant juice (or maybe even apple juice? raspberry juice? its worth experimenting!). You will not taste the bit of juice, and it will really help raise the "pectin index" in the jam.
I also made watercress soup. Watercress is a green that grows all over Ireland in great batches at the edges of streams. It is easy to forage and delicious to eat. I prepared the base of the soup in the morning (sauteed onions, chicken stock, etc) but did not add the watercress until just before lunch to preserve the bright green color. The watercress only takes a minute to cook and then you wiz the soup in a blender until smooth. If you want to do these final steps ahead of time (say, for instance, before guests arrive), there are a couple of ways to keep the color. One: do not cover the soup. This traps the steam, which ruins the vibrant greens. Two: try to cool the soup down as much as possible after pureeing it. The hotter the soup is when it sits, the more the color will drain from it. Cool it down by pouring the soup back and forth in between two bowls a couple of times. Reheat it just before serving.
Finally, I made some pastry and an apple pie. The Irish version of our American classic calls for only apples and sugar in the filling. I restrained myself from adding cinnamon and lemon juice and all the other American additions, but I'll be hard pressed to hold off on these spices come Christmastime back in Massachusetts! One tip: apples tend to break down during cooking, so make sure to fill your shell with plenty of chopped apples. Otherwise you might end up with a sunken, concave, sad little pie.
Our afternoon demonstration focused on the art of the omelette. With a hot pan and some technique, you can churn one of those babies out in 30 seconds. Our teacher made it look easy, but I'll see how "easy" it is Monday morning. From what I could tell from my chair, you should start with a spotlessly clean pan to keep the omelette from sticking. Don't scrimp on the butter either...
We also learned how to make mushroom or wild mushroom soup, marzipan (an almond paste), and caramelized walnuts. When working with mushrooms, do not clean them with water lest they soak up the moisture (which will dilute the flavor). Instead, wipe them with a dry cloth. For the caramelized walnuts, if you're making your own caramel (basically by boiling sugar until it reaches a caramel color), remember that it will continue to cook significantly after you turn off the heat. You need to work quickly with the caramel or it will get too dark and develop a bitter, burned taste. And so ends week four.

A whistleblower (whistle-blower or whistle blower)[1] is a person who exposes misconduct, alleged dishonest or illegal activity occurring in an organization. The alleged misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health and safety violations, and corruption. Whistleblowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organization) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to groups concerned with the issues).
The Continental Congress enacted the first whistleblower protection law in the United States on July 30, 1778 by a unanimous vote.[2] The Continental Congress was moved to act after an incident in 1777, when Richard Marven and Samuel Shaw blew the whistle and suffered severe retaliation by Esek Hopkins, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy.[3][4] Congress declared that the United States would defend the two whistleblowers against a libel suit filed against them by Hopkins. The Continental Congress also declared it the duty of "all persons in the service of the United States, as well as all other the inhabitants thereof" to inform the Continental Congress or proper authorities of "misconduct, frauds or misdemeanors committed by any officers in the service of these states, which may come to their knowledge." [5]
Seventy-five years after the ratification of the Constitution, as the Civil War rended the United States, Congress enacted one of the first laws that protected whistleblowers, the 1863 United States False Claims Act (revised in 1986), which tried to combat fraud by military suppliers. The act encourages whistleblowers by promising them a percentage of the money recovered or damages won by the government and protects them from wrongful dismissal.[6]
Whistleblowers frequently face reprisal, sometimes at the hands of the organization or group which they have accused, sometimes from related organizations, and sometimes under law.
Questions about the legitimacy of whistle blowing, the moral responsibility of whistle blowing, and the appraisal of the institutions of whistle blowing are part of the field of political ethics.
The term whistle-blower comes from the whistle a referee uses to indicate an illegal or foul play.[7][8] US civic activist Ralph Nader coined the phrase in the early 1970s to avoid the negative connotations found in other words such as "informers" and "snitches".[9]
Most whistleblowers are internal whistleblowers, who report misconduct on a fellow employee or superior within their company. One of the most interesting questions with respect to internal whistleblowers is why and under what circumstances people will either act on the spot to stop illegal and otherwise unacceptable behavior or report it.[10] There are some reason to believe that people are more likely to take action with respect to unacceptable behavior, within an organization, if there are complaint systems that offer not just options dictated by the planning and control organization, but a choice of options for absolute confidentiality.[11]
External whistleblowers, however, report misconduct to outside persons or entities. In these cases, depending on the information's severity and nature, whistleblowers may report the misconduct to lawyers, the media, law enforcement or watchdog agencies, or other local, state, or federal agencies. In some cases, external whistleblowing is encouraged by offering monetary reward.
Under most US federal whistleblower statutes, in order to be considered a whistleblower, the federal employee must have reason to believe his or her employer has violated some law, rule or regulation; testify or commence a legal proceeding on the legally protected matter; or refuse to violate the law.
In cases where whistleblowing on a specified topic is protected by statute, US courts have generally held that such whistleblowers are protected from retaliation.[12] However, a closely divided US Supreme Court decision, Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006) held that the First Amendment free speech guarantees for government employees do not protect disclosures made within the scope of the employees' duties.
Ideas about whistleblowing vary widely. Whistleblowers are sometimes seen as selfless martyrs for public interest and organizational accountability; others view them as "traitors" or "defectors," solely pursuing personal glory and fame, or view their behavior as motivated by greed in qui tam cases. Some academics (such as Thomas Alured Faunce) feel that whistleblowers should at least be entitled to a rebuttable presumption that they are attempting to apply ethical principles in the face of obstacles and that whistleblowing would be more respected in governance systems if it had a firmer academic basis in virtue ethics.[13][14]
It is probable that many people do not even consider blowing the whistle, not only because of fear of retaliation, but also because of fear of losing their relationships at work and outside work.[15]
Persecution of whistleblowers has become a serious issue in many parts of the world:
Employees in academia, business or government might become aware of serious risks to health and the environment, but internal policies might pose threats of retaliation to those who report these early warnings. Private company employees in particular might be at risk of being fired, demoted, denied raises and so on for bringing environmental risks to the attention of appropriate authorities. Government employees could be at a similar risk for bringing threats to health or the environment to public attention, although perhaps this is less likely.[16]

Government employees could be at a similar risk for bringing threats to health or the environment to public attention, although perhaps this is less likely.[16]
There are examples of "early warning scientists" being harassed for bringing inconvenient truths about impending harm to the notice of the public and authorities. There have also been cases of young scientists being discouraged from entering controversial scientific fields for fear of harassment.[16]
Although whistleblowers are often protected under law from employer retaliation, there have been many cases where punishment for whistleblowing has occurred, such as termination, suspension, demotion, wage garnishment, and/or harsh mistreatment by other employees. For example, in the United States, most whistleblower protection laws provide for limited "make whole" remedies or damages for employment losses if whistleblower retaliation is proven. However, many whistleblowers report there exists a widespread "shoot the messenger" mentality by corporations or government agencies accused of misconduct and in some cases whistleblowers have been subjected to criminal prosecution in reprisal for reporting wrongdoing.
As a reaction to this many private organizations have formed whistleblower legal defense funds or support groups to assist whistleblowers; two such examples are the National Whistleblowers Center[17] in the United States and Public Concern at Work[18] in the UK.
Legal protection for whistleblowing varies from country to country and may depend on any of the country of the original activity, where and how secrets were revealed, and how they eventually became published or publicized. Over a dozen countries have now adopted comprehensive whistleblower protection laws which create mechanisms for reporting, investigate reports, and provide legal protections to the people who informed them. Over 50 countries have adopted more limited protections as part of their anti-corruption, freedom of information, or employment laws.[19] For purposes of the English World Heritage Encyclopedia, this section emphasizes the English-speaking world and covers other regimes only insofar as they represent exceptionally greater or lesser protections.
Whistleblowing in the U.S. is affected by a complex patchwork of contradictory laws.
In the United States, legal protections vary according to the subject matter of the whistleblowing, and sometimes the state in which the case arises.[20] In passing the 2002 Sarbanes–Oxley Act, the Senate Judiciary Committee found that whistleblower protections were dependent on the "patchwork and vagaries" of varying state statutes.[21] Still, a wide variety of federal and state laws protect employees who call attention to violations, help with enforcement proceedings, or refuse to obey unlawful directions.
The first US law adopted specifically to protect whistleblowers was the 1863 United States False Claims Act (revised in 1986), which tried to combat fraud by suppliers of the United States government during the Civil War. The act encourages whistleblowers by promising them a percentage of the money recovered or damages won by the government and protects them from wrongful dismissal.[6]
Another US law that specifically protects whistleblowers is the Lloyd – La Follette Act of 1912. It guaranteed the right of federal employees to furnish information to the United States Congress. The first US environmental law to include an employee protection was the Clean Water Act of 1972. Similar protections were included in subsequent federal environmental laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act (1974), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (1976), Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (through 1978 amendment to protect nuclear whistleblowers), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or the Superfund Law) (1980), and the Clean Air Act (1990). Similar employee protections enforced through OSHA are included in the Surface Transportation Assistance Act (1982) to protect truck drivers, the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act (PSIA) of 2002, the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century ("AIR 21"), and the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, enacted on July 30, 2002 (for corporate fraud whistleblowers).
Investigation of retaliation against whistleblowers under 20 federal statutes falls under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Whistleblower Protection Program[22] of the United States Department of Labor's[23] Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).[24] New whistleblower statutes enacted by Congress which are to be enforced by the Secretary of Labor are generally delegated by a Secretary's Order[25] to OSHA's Office of the Whistleblower Protection Program (OWPP).
The patchwork of laws means that victims of retaliation need to be alert to the laws at issue to determine the deadlines and means for making proper complaints. Some deadlines are as short as 10 days (for Arizona State Employees to file a "Prohibited Personnel Practice" Complaint before the Arizona State Personnel Board; and Ohio public employees to file appeals with the State Personnel Board of Review). It is 30 days for environmental whistleblowers to make a written complaint to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Federal employees complaining of discrimination, retaliation or other violations of the civil rights laws have 45 days to make a written complaint to their agency's equal employment opportunity (EEO) officer. Airline workers and corporate fraud whistleblowers have 90 days to make their complaint to OSHA. Nuclear whistleblowers and truck drivers have 180 days to make complaints to OSHA. Victims of retaliation against union organizing and other concerted activities to improve working conditions have six months to make complaints to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Private sector employees have either 180 or 300 days to make complaints to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (depending on whether their state has a "deferral" agency) for discrimination claims on the basis of race, gender, age, national origin or religion. Those who face retaliation for seeking minimum wages or overtime have either two or three years to file a civil lawsuit, depending on whether the court finds the violation was "willful."
Those who report a false claim against the federal government, and suffer adverse employment actions as a result, may have up to six years (depending on state law) to file a civil suit for remedies under the US False Claims Act (FCA).[26] Under a qui tam provision, the "original source" for the report may be entitled to a percentage of what the government recovers from the offenders. However, the "original source" must also be the first to file a federal civil complaint for recovery of the federal funds fraudulently obtained, and must avoid publicizing the claim of fraud until the US Justice Department decides whether to prosecute the claim itself. Such qui tam lawsuits must be filed under seal, using special procedures to keep the claim from becoming public until the federal government makes its decision on direct prosecution.
Federal employees could benefit from the Whistleblower Protection Act,[27] and the No-FEAR Act (which made individual agencies directly responsible for the economic sanctions of unlawful retaliation). Federal protections are enhanced in those few cases where the Office of Special Counsel will support the whistleblower's appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). The MSPB rejects the vast majority of whistleblower appeals, however, as does the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.[28] Efforts to strengthen the law have met with failure in recent years, but minor reforms seem likely. See, e.g.,Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2011, S. 743, H. Rep. 3289, 112th Cong. (2011).
Securities whistleblowers are provided incentives and protection by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010).[29]
The SEC Office of the Whistleblower offers whistleblowers significant incentives and increases protection for whistleblowers in the SEC whistleblower program. This legislation authorizes the SEC to reward those who provide information concerning violations of the federal securities laws at companies that are required to report to the SEC.
Further, the Dodd-Frank Act strengthens the whistleblower protection provisions of the False Claims Act, and contains one of the strongest confidentiality provisions for whistleblowers ever enacted. For the first time, whistleblowers will be allowed to initially report fraud anonymously by filing a claim through an attorney.
Additionally, the law prohibits employers from retaliating against whistleblowers. Employers may not fire, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or discriminate against a whistleblower. The Dodd-Frank Act expands the reach of whistleblower protections provided under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to include employees of public companies as well as employees of its private subsidiaries and affiliates. Whistleblowers who suffer from employment retaliation may sue for reinstatement, back pay, and any other damages incurred.
The SEC Office of the Whistleblower was formed as part of the Dodd-Frank Act. They help handle whistleblower tips and complaints, and provide guidance to the Enforcement Division staff. They will help the Commission determine the size of awards for each whistleblower. Further, They assist whistleblowers by promoting the program, providing guidance and answering questions about the program.[30]
The Military Whistleblower Protection Act[31] protects the right of members of the armed services to communicate with any member of Congress (even if copies of the communication are sent to others).
Former NYPD officer, Frank Serpico, became law enforcement's best known whistleblower since the 1970s when he testifyed before the Knapp Commission in 1971. Serpico was shot earlier that year during a Brooklyn drug raid in which his colleagues failed to protect him, but survived, although partially deaf. Serpico testified to the Knapp Commission in December, 1971 and retired in 1972 on a disability pension, living abroad until his quiet return to the U.S. in 1980, when he moved upstate, dividing his time between a technology-free rural cabin, a Brooklyn apartment and lecturing across the U.S. against police corruption. Michael Dowd became the NYPD's next best known whistleblower over 20 years later when he was arrested in 1992 for assaulting citizens, extortion from drug dealers, selling drugs and placing dealers in harm's way by delivering them to their rivals for extralegal violence. Dowd testified to the Mollen Commission in 1993 about his own and his colleagues' activities, was convicted in 1994 and sentenced to 14 years but paroled in 2004 after serving ten and was sent to a Brooklyn halfway house, ironically in one of the same neighborhoods that he used to patrol, under requirements of being suitably employed, but is unable to find any such work because of his publicity and record. Ted Briseno became the LAPD's best-known whistleblower during the 1990s by testifying against his fellow officers in the state-level Rodney King trial in 1992 despite being let go from the force in May, 1991. Because of his testimony in violation of law enforcement's unofficial Blue code of silence, however, Briseno couldn't find law enforcement employment elsewhere. His property records now show him living in Illinois.
The Internal Revenue service rewards whistleblowers with a percentage of the tax money and penalties recovered with the information provided. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 pays whistlblowers up to 30% of any tax revenue recouped by the IRS as a result of a whistleblower's information.[32]
In September 2012, the IRS Whistleblower Office awarded Bradley Birkenfeld $104 million as a whistleblower for his revelations that the Swiss bank UBS abetted tax evasion by 19,000 American clients.[33][34] [35][36][37] The award was the largest whistleblower payout in history, to either an individual or a group.[38][39] The IRS explained its decision by citing Birkenfeld's "exceptional cooperation" and the "breadth and depth" of the information he provided, all of which led to "unprecedented actions" against UBS.[40] The IRS and the U.S. Department of Justice used Birkenfeld's information to negotiate a $780 million settlement with UBS in 2009. Under that deal, UBS admitted to helping U.S. clients cheat on their taxes. The bank later turned over the names of nearly 5,000 U.S. clients suspected of tax evasion.[41] IRS amnesty programs have since collected $5 billion from people who participated in UBS's illegal scheme based on the information provided by Birkenfeld.[40]
In the United Kingdom, the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 provides a framework of legal protection for individuals who disclose information so as to expose malpractice and matters of similar concern.[42][43]
There are also laws in a number of states.[44] The former NSW Police Commissioner Tony Lauer summed up official government and police attitudes as: "Nobody in Australia much likes whistleblowers, particularly in an organisation like the police or the government." Mr Lauer's comments are clearly at odds with public support for WikiLeaks.
Whistleblowers Australia is an association for those who have exposed corruption or any form of malpractice, especially if they were then hindered or abused.[45]
Canadian protection for whistleblowers is notoriously poor by English-speaking countries' standards.[weasel words] Until recently, there was no formal protection for those who spoke up from a position of knowledge inside government, with even senior civil servants (Shiv Chopra being one notable case) being fired or constructively dismissed for speaking up about internal abuses.
In the private sector, the situation was even worse as Canada retained the unreformed common law of libel without the exceptions for public issues or public interest that were added in all other English-speaking countries. This made political libel cases unfortunately common, with one infamous case even filed by the Prime Minister himself versus Official Opposition for alleging that the Prime Minister, when in Opposition, had bribed MP Chuck Cadman.
Historically, many Canadian private sector business scandals had come to light only through the intervention of the US SEC or other regulators (Garth Drabinsky, Conrad Black, Steven Bingham being three notable examples), due in part to the lack of whistleblower protections, plaintiff-friendly libel laws and a lack of investigative journalism due to these.
Canada's parliament has instituted the Public Sector Integrity Office (Canada), a parliamentary office for the protection for whistleblowers who speak up against abuses in government. However, that office was itself cast into some doubt when the first Integrity Commissioner, Christiane Ouimet, was heavily criticized in the auditor general's report in December 2010.[46][47] Cabinet minister Stockwell Day defended the office[48] but independent groups urged the re-opening of already closed files.[49][50]
In Jamaica, the Protected Disclosures Act, 2011[51] received assent in March 2011. It creates a comprehensive system for the protection of whistleblowers in the public and private sector. It is based on the UK's Public Interest Disclosure Act.
The Government of India has been considering adopting a whistleblower protection law for several years. In 2003, the Law Commission of India recommended the adoption of the Public Interest Disclosure (Protection of Informers) Act, 2002.[52] In August 2010, the Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Persons Making the Disclosures Bill, 2010 was introduced into the Lok Sabha, lower house of the Parliament of India.[53] The Bill was approved by the cabinet in June, 2011. The Public Interest Disclosure and Protection of Persons Making the Disclosures Bill, 2010 was renamed as The Whistleblowers' Protection Bill, 2011 by the Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice.[54] The Whistleblowers' Protection Bill, 2011 was passed by the Lok Sabha on 28 December 2011.[55] The Bill is however currently pending in the upper house of Parliament, Rajya Sabha for discussion and further passage. The Bill was introduced in Rajya Sabha on 29 March 2012 by V. Narayanasamy, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs.
The government of Ireland committed to adopting a comprehensive whistleblower protection law in January 2012. The bill will reportedly cover both the public and private sectors.[56]
There are also comprehensive laws in New Zealand and South Africa. A number of other countries have recently adopted comprehensive whistleblower laws including Ghana, South Korea, and Uganda. They are also being considered in Kenya and Rwanda. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2008 that whistleblowing was protected as freedom of expression.[57]
The US Supreme Court dealt what many considered a major blow to government whistleblowers when, in the case of Garcetti v. Ceballos, 04-5, 547 US 410,[58] it ruled that government employees did not have protection from retaliation in performance evaluations by their employers under the First Amendment of the Constitution if the alleged speech was produced as part of his/her duties.[59] Ceballos did not dispute that his memo was made as part of his official duties. Whistleblowers who want to pursue a federal case under the First Amendment must now always claim the memos and writings made are part not only of the official duty but of a citizen's opinion and discourse of public relevance. This can be done by alleging that the cause for retaliation is not the text of the memo but the ideas surrounding it. In the case of Ceballos he could have argued that his protected speech was his concept of strict adherence to the rule of law.
The free speech protections of the First Amendment have long been used to shield whistleblowers from retaliation by whistleblower attorneys. In response to the Supreme Court decision, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 985, the Whistleblower Protection Act of 2007. President George W. Bush, citing national security concerns, promised to veto the bill should it be enacted into law by Congress. The Senate's version of the Whistleblower Protection Act (S. 274), which has significant bipartisan support, was approved by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on June 13, 2007. However, it has yet to reach a vote by Senate as a hold has been placed on the bill by Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK).[60] According to the National Whistleblower Center, Coburn's hold on S. 274 has been done to further President Bush's agenda.[61]
In December 2010, the Senate passed enhanced protections for government employees and contractors who report cases of waste, fraud and abuse.[62]
The California False Claims Act protects whistleblowers from retaliation from their employer under a section entitled: "Section 12653. Employer interference with employee disclosures."[63] Under this section, employers may not make rules that prevent an employee from disclosing information to the government in furtherance of a false claims action, an employer may not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, deny promotion to, or in any other manner discriminate against, an employee in the terms and conditions of employment because he or she has disclosed information to the government.
CEPA, whistleblower law, prohibits an employer from taking any retaliatory action against an employee because the employee does any of the following:
"Patient safety is of paramount importance in the delivery of health care to Colorado citizens. A patient is at his or her safest when a health care worker has the right to speak out on the patient's behalf without fear of reprisal or retaliation. Health care providers recognize that, in order to deliver the highest quality health care, it is imperative that all health care workers have the right to report patient safety concerns and to advocate for a patient's well being without the risk of disciplinary action or loss of employment."[65]
Other proposals have been made to extend federal whistleblower protection to medical residents working at health care facilities, hospitals, and health care providers, as an internal means to ensure that certain patient hospital and health standards are being effectuated, including enforcing maximum hour guidelines for medical residents[66]
All organizations, whether public, private, or non-profit (including governmental) should, as a best practice, adopt a robust whistleblower system to induce its employees to internally report illegal or excessively risky activity directly to its board of directors or trustees. Without a robust whistleblower system, directors/trustees of the organization may fail in their oversight responsibilities. A robust whistleblower system encourages internal reporting of misconduct so as to permit it to be corrected. It is particularly important in countries (such as the United States) which provide significant financial rewards to whistleblowers who externally report illegal behavior to government entities.
There have been numerous examples of boards of directors/trustees who have been uninformed as to problems in the organization, even though lower level employees knew about these problems. These boards were misled because they relied primarily on top management and the auditors for their information.

I have needed a new bag for a while now, the broken zip on my old one pops open sporadically and I'm always worried I am going to get to work and find I've lost all my belongings – especially now I'm cycling most days. I've neglected getting a new one for so long because a bag is something you use on a day to day basis, you take it everywhere – and for me it's been hard to find a bag I like, meets my needs and doesn't cost the earth.
This one's from Mi-Pac, part of their 'Gold Range'. It's a good size, quite compact and as well as the front pocket it has an internal padded laptop sleeve which is really useful. I went for the Neoprene affect black rucksack, that, whilst quite subtle, is a little more exciting than my usual plain black canvas bag. Plus it's more waterproof for a rainy commute, it's got padded straps and feels durable. Anyway, I thought I would use this opportunity to show you what I lug around with me on a day to day basis – excluding all the receipts, tissues and the other detritus that usually lingers at the bottom.
Let's start with my Kindle, aside from my camera and hardrive this is possible the most important thing in my bag. It literally comes everywhere with me! It was a gift from my parents a few years back and initially I wasn't so keen. I was all about paper books with real tangible pages, but now I use it every single day – and whilst I do feel bad that I'm contributing to the downfall of the book shop industry, It's super light and so much easier to carry around than a hardback. I read fantasy books mainly; there's nothing better than nipping out of the studio at lunch to spend half an hour sitting by the canal and zoning out. I'm also not the best sleeper; I can easily lie awake for hours dwelling on the days events or stressing about something or other, and usually fantasy is so far detached from reality that it really helps me switch off and unwind before bed.
Aside from reading I quite often like to listen to podcasts whilst I'm working and so that's where the Urbanears Headphones come into play. You just can't beat a decent pair of headphones, these have a microphone attached, allowing me to multitask whilst I'm on the phone. They even have a second earphone point for your mates to plug in their own headphones and share what you're listening to!
The Diary was a gift from B for Christmas; I am terrible with keeping myself organised and this was a last ditch attempt to help. It's from Leuchtturm, and as you can see has my name embossed and foiled on the front. I mainly use it to keep track of birthdays, work dates etc, but I must say I do need to update it a little more regularly. The brass pen is from HAY – I love a bit of nice stationery.
I'm pretty into my skincare, and I always make sure I carry some moisturiser with me, especially through the summer months. I've been using Khiels Blue Herbal Moisturiser for a couple of years now, it's not too heavy and is made from all natural ingredients – which sits well with my relatively sensitive and oily skin. The Murdocks Matte Putty is something I've only recently started using, it has a great hold and doesn't make your hair look too greasy like most putty or gum products.
Fortunately for me B is a graphic designer and so there's always new and interesting magazines in the house that I'm able to pinch once he's finished reading. It's pretty hit and miss to be honest, sometimes they're not quite my cup of tea, but I'm enjoying this one so far. It's the latest edition of the Lobby, a biannual Architecture magazine, this ones called the 'Abundance" issue (#4), aside from it being a beautiful publication it's a pretty good read if your interested in that kind of thing.
Finally, the latest addition to my bag are my Ace & Tate sunglasses. I don't often wear sunglasses; I have quite a small head and so I struggle to find a pair that suit me, but I absolutely love these. I went for a light/trim frame, with a really simple shape which should hopefully last me a couple of years. They're designed in Amsterdam; the ethos of the company is to provide well made and beautifully designed eyewear which is durable and affordable at he same time – they can also fit them with prescription lenses if you ask.
What are your daily travel companions?
As always, thanks for reading.

To Love and To Kill - "Phelps dares to tread where few others will: into the mind of a killer." —TV Rage
"Phelps is a true-crime veteran."—New York Post
The missing-persons case of Heather Strong, a young, beautiful suburban mother, baffled Florida detectives. When the file was handed to a veteran investigator, he knew Heather was dead. The challenge was to find her body—and whoever killed her. Soon, a sordid triangle of sex, jealousy, and rage came to light. The killers were cunning, manipulative, depraved—and they were as close to Heather as a man and a woman could possibly be. Vividly recreated by master investigative journalist M. William Phelps, this riveting account of seething small-town passions is a classic tale of crime and justice.

Tema: Cybarian ~The Time Travelling Warrior~.
Cybarian the time travelling warrior is a classically inspired arcade action game, with a mixture of modern and retro gaming tropes. The game was conceived as an amalgamation of the original 2d Mega man games and side scrolling beat em' ups like Streets of Rage.
Our goal is to get to the core of what makes an engaging and challenging combat system, break it down to its base elements and implement it in such a way that on the surface everything seems simple enough, but when you are required to dig a little deeper you'll uncover a lot of depth.

Dental Implants vs. Bridge
Sometimes life happens and tooth replacement is a necessary reality. There are several different methods of tooth replacement, and each has its pros and cons. Two of the most common methods of tooth replacement are dental implants and dental bridges. If you live in Utah, you can go to Red Cliffs Dental- a great dentist in St. George- for all of your tooth replacement needs.
What is the difference between dental implants and dental bridges?
Dental bridges are basically a minimum of three crowns in a row. The outside teeth have to still be in place. Unlike an implant, they have to be cut down quite a bit to fit the crowns. The tooth or teeth in the middle would be completely artificial. Dental implants however, can be used on individual teeth and they do not need to be cut down. It is an artificial root that is implanted into your gums, where it will bond to the jaw. On top of that, a crown is crafted to look like an individual tooth.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants?
Dental implants are initially more expensive than dental bridges. But they often last a lifetime, so in the long run they can be more cost effective. And the good news is that many insurance providers will help pay a portion. It is an invasive method of tooth replacement because it requires surgery. It is 98% successful, but if you have a weakened immune system or a lowered ability to heal, it may put you at higher risk. But, dental implants are the most reliable option. They mimic the form and function of a natural tooth, so your brushing and flossing routines can remain as normal. They also offer the best possible aesthetics. They are also more hygienic than bridges because your cleaning routine stays the same.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental bridges?
Dental bridges are less expensive than implants, and they are often covered by insurance, but they typically only last 5-7 years. Because all teeth in a bridge are cemented together, you cannot brush and floss as usual. Dental bridges also require your natural teeth to be sanded down to fit the crowns. They still look fairly natural, and they only take a few weeks to complete. A bridge may also be better than implants if you have been missing your natural tooth for a long time.
In the event that you do need a tooth replaced, the choice is ultimately your own. Feel free to call a great dentist in St. George, Utah, Dr. Kelly J. Olsen at Red Cliffs Dental. He can provide you with his expert advice on your individual case. If you want to learn more about all on 4 dental implants, you can read about it on our website.
