Push pull stroke
Platinum Member
I'm a very lefty lefty, and I have intentionally chosen to be able to play both open and closed-handed on a lefty and righty kit. I have two kits set up in my basement specifically so I can train all 4 ways. I've been doing this for about 4 months, and the hands were easy-ish. The hard part is training my left foot to do heel-toe and swivel on the bass, and my right foot to jump up really quick on the hi-hat. It has been fun and challenging so far.I took your post to mean that everyone should develop the ability to play proficiently with either hand/foot. Sorry if that is not what you meant.
As someone who has experienced this left-handed bordering-on-discrimination problem for 45 years, I feel it's not ok to force us to just live in a right-handed world. It doesn't have to be that way and all teachers/coaches should give students/players the option of playing however they feel comfortable doing. I think I have derailed this intent of this original post and I apologize to the OP.

They're popping up all over the country. Local podcast meet-up groups start out small with a handful of members. If the organizer is consistent with monthly meetings, strong speakers, and is serious about teaching the trade, as you will see here, they will grow.
Jason Rigden runs the Seattle Podcasters Guild. The group was organized less than a year ago with two goals: to support podcasters in the Seattle area and increase podcast listening. Monthly meet-ups have grown to up to 40 people and the Guild now maintains a complete list of all the podcasts being made in and around Seattle. Jason also hosts a show about Seattle podcasters where he interviews a local host and helps promote their shows.
PBJ: When and why did you organize the group?
Jason: The Seattle Podcasters Guild started in November of last year. We had our first meet-up on December 4, 2018.
I started the group after talking with my friend, Seth Goldfarb. We wanted to meet other podcasters in the area. I figured that we could network, trade tips, give advice, and generally just socialize. Being a podcaster can be surprisingly isolating. Often your friends and family don't really understand what you are doing. Just sitting down and talking with other podcasters is an amazing and encouraging experience. Several people told me during the first meeting that they also had wanted to start a group like this. I think the Seattle podcasting community was ripe for a meetup like this. If I didn't organize it, someone else would have.
I also started it because I am a podcast fan. I want podcasting to continue to grow and flourish. I was trying to come up with ways to help that happen. When you look at music, you'll see some cities produce more good music than others. This is often because they have a highly connected network of musicians in that city. Those musicians trade tips, collaborate, and cross pollinate. I think we can do the same thing with podcasting. This little group is connecting creative people. That is a very powerful thing to do. Maybe some of these folks will stop doing their current show. But I doubt they are going to stop podcasting. Maybe these folks will start a new show with people they met because of the guild. And that new show could be a huge hit. In the near future, some cities are going to emerge as major podcast incubators and hubs. I want Seattle to be one of those cities.
PBJ: How many members came to your first meeting and how did you grow it?
Jason: We had about 20 to 30 people come to our first meeting. It is hard to say exactly how the group has grown. We always have new faces at each meeting. Most folks seem to have learned about the group from Twitter, Meetup.com, or word of mouth. I think making that list of Seattle podcasts helped too. It helped people see what kind of content was being created in the area. That helped make people want to come and check it out.
PBJ: What are the meetings about, do you have speakers, and how long do they last?
Jason: The meetings are just about socializing. We don't have an agenda or speakers. We just meet up at a brewery and hang out. It is very casual. We've considered having speakers, but I think that would add too much complexity. You need a space and volunteers for that. Our meet-ups are very simple. I think that is one reason why it works. In the future, we may do some panel discussions over the Internet.
PBJ: Were you surprised by how many podcasters there were in Seattle?
Jason: I had no idea. I started making this list of local podcasts. I wanted it to be a complete list of all Seattle area podcasts. I thought maybe there would be about 100 shows. Right now, that list has almost 300 Seattle podcasts. I get emails every week from folks wanting to be added to the list. The list just keeps growing!
PBJ: Do you recommend others try to start an organization like this up in their town?
Jason: Yes! Organizing this group has been so rewarding. I've met so many awesome people. I've learned so much. If you have a meetup in your area, go to their next meeting. If you don't have a group in your area, start one. You will meet so many creative people. Slack chat and Facebook groups are great. But, there is nothing that can replace face-to-face contact.
PBJ: What advice would you give them?
Jason: Keep things simple, be adaptable, and just do it! That is the same advice I give to people thinking about starting a podcast. Starting a group is very similar. It is probably good advice for any endeavor. Also be friendly and welcoming. I try to greet and talk with everyone that comes to our meeting. Going to a new meet-up is scary. Try to make everyone feel welcome. We've probably all been to meet-ups and left feeling excluded. I don't want anyone to feel like that. I want everyone from the aspirational podcaster to the podcasting professional to feel appreciated and wanted.
Also don't try to make money off the group. I think one reason people trust me is that I'm not selling anything. There are no tickets to buy. I'm not trying to sell a course or consulting. I'm just trying to connect people.
PBJ: Tell us about your podcasts?
Jason: Well, I've got a bunch of podcasts. I've been podcasting since 2005. I've hosted, produced, or otherwise participated in over a dozen different shows through the years. Right now, I've got two active shows.
There is the Seattle Podcasters Podcast. On every episode I interview a different Seattle area podcaster. I ask them about their show, how it is made, and what motivates them. We also talk a little about podcasting in general. I've released about 15 episodes of that show. Episodes are now being released on Saturday and Sunday. I produce this show for the Seattle Podcasters Guild as a way for us to further connect with each other. Lots of folks can't come to our meet-up. And even if you do, generally you are not going to ask them a list of questions like this. This is a way for people to kind of virtually get to know each other. It has been a great way to learn about, and from, these local podcasters. It has been a wonderful experience doing this show.
I also do a show called Talk to Seattle. This is a local interview podcast focused on civics, politics, and the arts. I've had a whole bunch of Seattle politicians and activists on. I've also had Seattle area street artists, musicians, and authors. And occasionally, I'll have folks on to talk about national issues. I release episodes of the show five days a week.

Editor's note: S&S is collaborating with the Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP) to bring academic research findings to a broader audience. Writers at S&S are producing short summaries of discussion papers from HEEP and the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements (HPCA), streamlined for policymakers. As these summaries are published, they will be adapted and discussed here.
When does pollution policy work? Is there a fail-safe formula that applies regardless of political, environmental, and public health context? In the economics research literature, there is now a substantial body of work documenting the efficacy of policies targeting pollution in the United States. But think about the relevant differences between the U.S. and a country like India: In the latter, health care quality is thought to be lower, ambient levels of pollution are known to be higher, and government institutions may or may not have the same level of effectiveness. Thus, studies of the U.S. context are likely not externally valid; a given level of pollution may be extremely detrimental to health in one country but not in another, and a given policy instrument may work wonders in one country but be totally unenforceable in another.
That is precisely what motivates a paper like Michael Greenstone and Rema Hanna's "Environmental Regulations, Air and Water Pollution, and Infant Mortality in India." The implicit argument is, we should care about environmental policy in India because (a) pollution is alarmingly high there, and (b) the country's population and growth rate suggest that its regulation of the environment is going to be extremely important to the achievement of climate change goals. But we cannot simply take policy lessons from the developed world and apply them like a band-aid to India.
So what do Greenstone and Hanna do to try and shed some light on the efficacy of environmental policy in India? First, they do a lot of legwork (in some cases visiting government offices state-by-state) to collect data on pollution, policy, and health in India. Second, they exploit the phased rollout of three significant air and water pollution policies across Indian cities to statistically analyze the impacts in a credible way. And third, they discuss, qualitatively, the possible reasons for the variable policy success that they observe.
What they find is inconsistent success among the policies considered. The two air pollution regulations – Supreme Court mandates to (a) develop citywide "action plans" and (b) fit catalytic converters to all cars – are both associated with significant improvements in ambient air quality. In complete contrast, estimates of the impacts of the National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) – an executive-branch policy designed to reduce domestic pollution into India's rivers – reveal no consistent relationship whatsoever between the policy and water quality. Given particularly striking success of the catalytic converter mandate in reducing air pollution, the authors test whether that policy is associated with concomitant drops in infant mortality, but their results here are inconclusive.
There are a few key lessons to take away from this study. It is clear from the success of the air pollution policies that environmental regulation can be effective even in countries with relatively low incomes and weak institutions. However, the inconsistency of policy success in this context shows that effective regulation is neither totally futile nor a sure thing. It really does matter how such policies are designed, implemented, and enforced. The policies studied here differ widely in their institutional source, their environmental target, and their implementing bodies.
It is also worth noting that significant improvements here in environmental quality do not guarantee significant improvements in public health. Infant mortality, and health more generally, is not the only benefit of environmental protection. But it is one key component in a full cost-benefit analysis, which is not done in this study (as the authors are the first to note), but which would provide a truer sense of the ultimate effectiveness of these policies. A "summary for policymakers" of the Greenstone and Hanna discussion paper is available here; the full discussion paper can be viewed here.

People are hustling and bustling to get that last minute shopping done. Running in and out of doors, rushing in and out of stores, wishing one and all a....a what?
A "Merry Christmas!!!??" A "Happy Holiday!!!??" Or perhaps you're a "Seasons Greetings!!" kind of a person.
Which one makes you smile with joy....or grit your teeth in irritation? Does one offend you more deeply than the other? Or is being politically correct not even a blip on your holiday radar screen?
For years, I was on the 'Merry Christmas' side of the Christmas Greetings Crusade. Or 'The War on Christmas' to which it's often referred. If someone, be it on social media, at the mall, at work, at a toll booth, etc., dared to wish me 'Seasons Greetings' or 'Happy Holidays,' I would return their salutation with my own MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! faster and with more force than Serena Williams returning a tennis opponent's serve at the US Open.
But these days, I find myself sad, weary and somewhat irritated over all the arguments and the wars and the ugly back-and-forth, mean-spirited comments I have seen lately on social media regarding these greetings of the season.
This season that is SUPPOSED to be about celebrating a love so deep, so incredible, so amazing, so breathtaking; a love that would cause our Creator God to send His One and Only, kingly Son, Jesus Christ, into this world -- not wrapped in royal robes, but in fragile skin like ours -- to serve and save us.
But which seems more about celebrating consumerism, commercialism and our crowing about being among the Christian illuminati of society.
Now, I'm certainly not saying we who follow Christ and call ourselves Christians should ever be ashamed or afraid of wishing someone -- anyone -- a Merry Christmas. Neither am I suggesting that we refrain from doing so.
But what I AM saying is that there's no need for us to get our noses out of joint when someone fails to say it to us, nor should we respond to someone's wish for us to "Have a happy holiday!" with a pompous and indignant
We need to be mindful of how we come across to others.
And it would serve us well to remember that Jesus reserved His harshest criticism of and toughest lessons for those who considered themselves to be the elite and religious 'know-it-alls': those self-righteous Pharisees, who always seemed to spend way too much of their time in the New Testament stalking Jesus; eavesdropping on all of His conversations and teachings; nitpicking about them, and trying to trip Him up on everything He said.
During one such time, the following particular conversation transpired between Jesus and another man:
"...when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees with His reply, they met together to question Him again. One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap Him with this question: "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?"
Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." ~ Matthew 22:34-40 (NLT)
In light of this, and in my honest opinion, I seriously DOUBT that Jesus gives a flying fig if we say 'Merry Christmas,' or if we say 'Seasons Greetings.'
Just as long as whatever we say, we say joyfully, with His love flowing from our heart, our soul, our mind...and our lips.

6-7mm Prasiolite plain coin Beads 13 inch 48 pieces
Green Amethyst or Prasiolite approximate 6-7mm average on the 13 inch strand of 48 pieces
Amethyst is one of the oldest and most popular stones for jewelry and art projects. For many years, its deep purple color could only be worn by royalty, and the very word 'amethyst' became synonymous with the color purple. But you can also find Green Amethyst Beads, which can be used for beautiful jewelry as well as alternative spiritual purposes.
Green Amethyst or Prasiolite approximate 6-7mm average on the 13 inch strand of 48 pieces
3mm Prasiolite faceted rondelle beads 13 inches 140 pieces are approximate measurements and counts.
Prasiolite (Green Amethyst) measures approximately 8x6mm up to 10x7mm on the 14 inch strand of 56 pieces.
9x8mm - 13x9mm Prasiolite (Green Amethyst) plain nugget beads 13 inch 26 pieces of a color treated, light celery green hue showing a slightly milky...View full details
20x14x10mm up to 27x18.5x15mm Green Amethyst faceted nugget bead strand measures approximately 14 inches in length with approximately 15 pcs
The stone commonly called green amethyst has many names. Green amethyst is also known as prasiolite, amegreen or vermarine. It has also been known sometimes as lime citrine.
At the Bead Traders, our gemstone beads online are bought in volume. This means you will always get affordable beads and beading supplies when you shop with us, because we pass the savings on to you.
Heat Treated
Prasiolite is very rare in nature, although there are deposits in Brazil and in the Thunder Bay region of Ontario, Canada. Most green amethyst is purple amethyst that has been heat treated, causing the purple color to become a light, leek green. Natural green amethyst is found in deposits of purple amethyst, so it is likely that these were once crystals that were heated more than the surrounding crystals, which caused them to change color. Some green amethyst actually becomes dichroic, displaying both a light green and yellow color.
Spiritual Properties
Green amethyst beads are considered very spiritual stones. As with purple amethyst, green amethyst is thought to protect the wearer from intoxication and to provide spiritual support for people trying to quit drinking. Prasiolite also clears negative energy, helps the wearer develop compassion, and promotes self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. It strengthens willpower and the emotions, especially love. Because of their color, green amethyst beads can be used to attract prosperity and bring luck and good fortune.
Plays Well With Others
Green is a very popular color for jewelry, and the lovely pale shades of green amethyst beads make them a perfect choice for mixing with other gemstones to create necklaces, bracelets and earrings. If you are looking for an earthy effect, combine opaque, natural, green amethyst beads with African opal beads, green kyanite or zoisite. For a very striking effect, string green and purple amethyst together with some two-color tourmaline. Green beads also pair well with brown or gold beads, such as tiger's eye or citrine, as well as coppery freshwater pearls. Black makes a dramatic contrast with green, and green amethyst beads mix well with onyx, agate or obsidian.
Triple Value Promise
the Bead Traders offers customers our Three-Part Value Pledge to ensure that you get the best beads for your money. We buy gemstones in bulk to we keep our prices low while also giving you the best value. All of our beads, including close-outs and sale items, are inspected for quality, and we never substitute lower quality beads for higher quality gemstones that are out of stock. If we have to make a substitution, you will always receive beads of greater value than the ones you originally ordered. Make the Bead Traders your go-to site for jewelry and beading projects.

Former All Blacks coach Laurie Mains has cast doubt over the credentials of Crusaders coach Scott Robertson succeeding Steve Hansen - albeit for now.
With Hansen having vacated his role as All Blacks head coach after this year's Rugby World Cup in Japan, the race is now on to replace the long serving boss.
Robertson, 45, is just one candidate believed to be in the running, alongside Hansen's assistant coach Ian Foster, as well as Japan's Jamie Joseph.
However, speaking to Stuff, Mains - who coached the All Blacks for four seasons from 1992 through to 1995 - suggests that despite his success at Super Rugby level with the Crusaders, this time might be too early for Robertson to take charge of the All Blacks.
"There's a couple of things I would be asking. Has he had to work in adversity and bring a team that's not quite so good, up?
"The other thing is, he's young, and he's got plenty of time on his side.
"Scott Robertson will definitely be an All Black coach at some stage of his career, if his performance continues the way it has gone over the last four or five years."
Outgoing New Zealand Rugby CEO Steve Tew says that the new All Blacks coach will be announced before Christmas this year.

Festivals in Oman
Oman's festival calendar is somewhat undernourished, barring the large-scale annual Muscat festival and its smaller cousin in Salalah. Alternatively, for a more traditional insight into the country's religious culture, visiting Oman during one of the annual Islamic festivals is especially rewarding – Ramadan is a particularly interesting time to visit, assuming you're prepared to put up with a certain level of practical inconvenience.
Muscat Festival Late Jan to late Feb wwww.muscat-festival.com. The highlight of the festival calendar, with a wide-ranging programme of events offering a mix of traditional arts, culture and heritage (including a special Oman Heritage and Culture Village in Qurum Park) along with fun events like the Muscat Fashion Show, Oman Food Festival and concerts at the Qurum Park Amphitheatre.
Salalah Tourism Festival (also known as the Khareef Festival) June 21 to Sept 21 wwww.salalahfestival.com. Held during the three months of the khareef, featuring assorted cultural attractions, sporting events, concerts and shopping promotions.
Ramadan Scheduled to run from approximately July 20 to Aug 18, 2012; July 9 to Aug 7, 2013; June 28 to July 27, 2014; precise dates vary according to local astronomical sightings of the moon. The Islamic holy month of Ramadan represents a period in which to purify mind and body and to reaffirm one's relationship with God. Muslims are required to fast from dawn to dusk, and as a tourist you will be expected to publicly observe these strictures, although you are free to eat and drink in the privacy of your own hotel room, or in any of the carefully screened-off dining areas which are set up in hotels throughout the city (while alcohol is also served discreetly in some places after dark, but not during the day). Eating, drinking, smoking or chewing gum in public, however, are definite no-no's, and will cause considerable offence to local Muslims; singing, dancing and swearing in public are similarly frowned upon. In addition, live music is also completely forbidden during the holy month (though recorded music is allowed), while many shops scale back their opening hours.Fasting ends at dusk, at which point the previously comatose country springs to life in a celebratory round of eating, drinking and socializing known as Iftar ("The Breaking of the Fast"). The atmosphere is particularly exuberant during Eid Al Fitr, the day marking the end of Ramadan, when everyone lets loose in an explosion of celebratory festivity.
Renaissance Day July 23 Celebrating the 1970 coup which brought Sultan Qaboos to power and signalled the start of the Oman Renaissance.
Eid al Adha Estimated dates: Oct 26, 2012; Oct 15, 2013; Oct 4, 2014. Falling approximately 70 days after the end of Ramadan, on the tenth day of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul Hijja, the "Festival of the Sacrifice" celebrates the willingness of Abraham (or Ibrahim, as he is known to Muslims) to sacrifice his son Ismail at the command of God (although having proved his obedience, he was permitted to sacrifice a ram instead). The festival also marks the end of the traditional pilgrimage season to Mecca. Large numbers of animals are slaughtered during the festival. No alcohol is served on the day of the festival or on the day before.

At some point of our lives, we have that great moment when we finally had our independence and the thrill is big. For the first time in your life, your hard work finally pays off and you receive your first paycheck.
Now, you have the piece of paper in your hand – or the new balance on your bank account, and you're trying to figure out what to do with it. The first impulse is to treat yourself to that little something you always wanted, and now you can afford it, the temptation is there, and it's hard to ignore.
To help you navigate the financial stages you encounter after getting your first job, we have put together a quick guide on how to spend those paychecks well.
Always double check:
This is a no-brainer and a huge life lesson that you don't want to learn the hard way. Every time you are handed money or valuable goods , make sure that everything is in the right place.
Handling a payroll division in a company is an extremely complex process that is not human-error proof, so now and then an employee may be given the wrong amount. Just try to make sure that the figure on your paycheck matches the one they told you to expect.
Paychecks usually contain other relevant information besides the amount you´re receiving or Total Gross. After that, you have Total Net which is the amount you get in your account after all deductions like national insurance and income tax. After that, you should see in detail the hours you've worked and the deductions.
It would be wise to be aware of your tax obligations, so you know how much will be deducted and why, so you don't have any unpleasant surprises or misunderstandings. Try to make a habit of this,if it isn't already, and always double check every time you receive money in any form.
Start saving!
This may be something we have heard ever since our parents started giving us advice. Now just because our parents kept repeating it, it does not mean it is not valid at all. In reality it is one of the best pieces of advice one can get, the problem relies upon the fact that, usually, people don't realise this until they already wasted good years of saving by spending it all.
It doesn't matter if you have never saved money before, or how much you are going to save. The whole idea here is to create a habit that will literally pay off in the long run.
A smart way to get this done is opening a savings account with automatic transfers from checking to savings account – that way you don´t have to remember that you need to deposit money into your savings account, the bank will do it for you and, with high-interest rates, you can have some pleasant numbers ten years from now. Luckily you will not be automatically enrolled into PPI policies like banks used to do, so ensure you keep an eye out for this formerly commonly mis-sold insurance product.
An intelligent move is to open an additional saving account for emergencies, as that way, if the unexpected happens, you´ll have a place to turn to without compromising your life's savings. The whole point is – for those new to the working world – to understand that time never stops running and you should start thinking about the golden years, as whilst they may be far away, they are patiently waiting.
Fancy a budget?
This is the best way to have control over the money you receive, as well as the money you spend. Calculate your expenses: food, rent, transportation, clothes and so on. . Make sure that you include that little something you use that isn't a necessity but a regular spend, such as coffee dates with friends or bar hopping at the weekends. This is important because otherwise, the whole saving effort becomes something that lacks enjoyment and if you don't have fun, then you´re doing things wrong.
As you can see, the idea is to have all bases covered, the fun ones and the others too. As a final recommendation here, try to live within your means, and always bet on frugal fun, gets the habit going and then it will be a really smooth process.
A Final Word
The rest of your life just started, so you have to play by the rules but do it with a twist – stay on top of your game and don´t let grown-up life overwhelm you. Live on a budget that has been carefully planned and learn to go through life learning about sacrifices and high-rewarding efforts. Kudos on this new stage and enjoy the ride of adulthood.

It depends on your definition of anyone
The boy wonder Milliband popped up on GMTV to spout off about 5 years in Iraq and one of his pearls of wisdom struck me when he complained that the problems arose because the war was too easy and that the peace was harder then anyone had thought.
To me this exemplifies the way our government thinks. Prior to the war we essentially had two groups; one who said we'll wrap the war up in a few months, institute democracy to the cheering crowds and then leave; the other group said you'll be there for years fighting and then be there for even longer dealing with the 'peace'.
As events have shown the second group was wrong; the war itself went through quite quickly. So following the mindset that no-one who was right about the length of the war predicting the extent of time spent on the 'peace', we can state that therefore nobody predicted it would last this long.
More succinctly - the people who agreed with us didn't think it would last this long and everyone else doesn't count.
Apply that attitude at every decision made by the government and suddenly so much makes more sense.

To hear my prayers and grant my desires

What is Net Neutrality?
You've probably heard the term floating around recently, especially with today's protests, but what exactly is "Net Neutrality"? Otherwise known as "open internet", Net Neutrality is the idea that internet service providers should give its customers equal access to all content online. This means that no content would be given favorable speed, or conversely, no content would be slowed down intentionally.
Although we currently have an open internet, net neutrality has recently been challenged. Wireless and broadband companies have lent their support to remove the regulations they've abided by, while consumers and advocated alike lead an outcry in the name of transparency, accessibility, and censorship.
The chairman of the FCC Ajit Pai announced plans to roll back what Obama's administration put in place to retain net neutrality. He explained,
"Repealing Obama-era Internet regulations will benefit all Americans. It will restore Internet Freedom by ending government micromanagement and returning to the bipartisan regulatory framework that worked well for decades."
While Pai said he doesn't believe ISPs should slow down speed for certain sites or specific content, he is not proposing an explicit regulation to ensure this doesn't take place. Pai and broadband companies both argue that once the regulations aren't in place, investments will shoot back up (which he says have been declining).
For those advocating for net neutrality, the potentials benefits come attached with a serious threat. They believe innovation and restricted competition due to a more expensive entry barrier, will transform the internet as we know it to look more like TV today. Meaning your ISPs would dictate what content you can access online, leading to diminishing availability of what you can see.
No matter what side of the debate you fall on, it's important to show support for those fighting for your beliefs. Explore issues and the politicians on your side on PolitcalBank.com

Fengjuan Li, a pharmacist on Alibaba's online pharmacy, AliHealth, will always remember the question asked to her by a 17-year-old high school boy two weeks ago: can I die by taking a large number of tablets?
The boy was referring to over the counter tablets that he had been taking for insomnia and depression.
Li told him no, he would not.
The boy responded saying, "But I want to die," at which point Li realized that the online patient did not need medication or a doctor, he needed psychological counseling.
More and more, patients who are using the online pharmacy are consulting doctors not just for medication, but for deeper emotional support. To help the boy, Li communicated with him online for one week. Gradually, his condition improved and he did not think of death.
"Be sure to have patience. Actually, a good mood is half the cure," said Li.
Psychological treatment through the pharmacy
In 2004, Fengjuan Li became certified to be a pharmacist. In October 2016, she became a pharmacist on AliHealth, which provides free medical advice to users over the internet. Upon receiving her degree, Li knew her job would require equal parts focus and chemistry – but she didn't foresee that AliHealth would allow her to emotionally participate in patients' lives.
In some places where medical treatment is underdeveloped, Li is the only person a patient can rely on.
One of Li's patients lives in a small village in Yunnan Province, a beautiful region in Southwest China known for its many ethnic groups and rolling landscapes. He walks over 20 kilometers to the hospital to buy his medication. After discovering that he could buy medicine and also receive health counseling online, he opted to save the trip and refer to his pharmacist for advice. He asks Li questions when he has a cold or mild illness.
Shared Pharmacists to meet growing demand
On March 7th, AliHealth launched a new program called Shared Pharmacists to meet the growing shortage of licensed pharmacists online. The program is an online consultation service for third-party pharmacists on the AliHealth platform. There are 3,000 licensed pharmacists like Fengjuan Li on AliHealth who provide consultation to patients at no additional cost.
Hongbin Liu, the leader of AliHealth's customer experience department, said that at this stage the platform will continue to provide its "shared pharmacist" service, and also provide a virtual drugstore clerk to facilitate customer experience in offline stores. Using the AliHealth app, drugstore clerks who may not be licensed may consult with an expert online and receive assistance in less than ten seconds.
In accordance with the quantity and quality of consulting service, AliHealth compensates some licensed pharmacists a healthy sum of money, with some experts earning 10,000 yuan per month.
"What we want to solve is not only the shortage of licensed pharmacists but also to help offline pharmacies provide better services to customers. Customers' problems can receive a timely response via online consultation, thereby reducing the chances of suggesting inappropriate medicine. As a platform, Alibaba is willing to take on social responsibilities," Hongbin Liu said.

Here's Keith Olbermann from his appearance on ABC's This Week on the Seamus-on-the roof/Obama-eats-dogs back-and-forth:
After a week of dog-eat-dog politicking between President Obama and Mitt Romney's respective campaigns, Keith Olbermann said today that the "dog-gate" controversies have gotten out of hand.
Politicos, pundits and the presidential-campaign watching public spent the past week pondering which is worse, a presidential candidate who put his dog in a kennel strapped to the roof of his car for a 12-hour drive or a president who ate dog meat as a child living in Indonesia.
"It raises the level of absurdity to something exponential," Olbermann said on "This Week" about the Romney campaign criticizing Obama for consuming dog meat when he was 6 years old.
"With so many valuable questions going on, we're wasting most of the time dealing with the dogs," the former MSNBC and CurrentTV host said.
Olbermann, you pompous hypocrite. Who's the one "wasting" time on dog issues? Here's video of Keith Olbermann discussing the Romney/Seamus story from a month ago. And here. And here, here, here, here, and here. You can spend all day searching for MSM stories on the Seamus story. And now it's a waste of time?
Listen, I really don't care that Obama ate a dog. I do care that jerks like Keith Olbermann have no problem using the Seamus non-story to caricature Mitt Romney. In the words of Donna Brazile from the same link from above:
This is a narrative, and for Mitt Romney, he has to be concerned about the Seamus scandal because it might fit into this narrative that perhaps he's not like us."
You see, saying President Obama is "not like us" is racist. Saying Mitt Romney is not like us is good Democratic politics.
Well, guess what, Keith? The Seamus narrative is now over. President Obama ate a dog. He also had a polygamous father, smoked pot, snorted cocaine, and is hiding his college transcripts. You want to keep playing or shall we get to actual issues in the race?

Jamaican Patois, known locally as Patois (Patwa) or simply Jamaican, is an English-African creole language spoken primarily in Jamaica and the Jamaican diaspora. It is not to be confused with Jamaican English nor with the Rastafarian use of English.
Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles situated in the Caribbean Sea. Its indigenous Arawakan-speaking Taino inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning the "land of wood and water", or the "land of springs".
Formerly a Spanish possession known as Santiago, it later became the British Crown colony of Jamaica. It is the third most populous anglophone country in North America, after the United States and Canada. It remains a Commonwealth realm.
The language developed in the 17th century, when slaves from West and Central Africa were exposed to English spoken by their masters. A mixture of British English, Hiberno English and various languages spoken by the slaves created this new language. Jamaicans themselves usually refer to their language as patois, a French term meaning, "without a precise linguistic definition".
Jamaican Patois exists mostly as a spoken language. Although standard British English is used for most writing in Jamaica, Jamaican has been gaining ground as a literary language for almost a hundred years. Claude McKay published his book of Jamaican poems Songs of Jamaica in 1912. Patois and English are frequently used for stylistic contrast (codeswitching) in new forms of internet writing.
Jamaican pronunciation and vocabulary are significantly different from English, despite heavy use of English words or derivatives. A native speaker of a non-Caribbean English dialect can understand a heavily accented Jamaican speaker only if he/she speaks slowly and forgoes the use of the many idioms that are common in Jamaican. Jamaican Patois displays similarities to the pidgin and creole languages of West Africa, due to their common descent from the blending of African substrate languages with European languages.
Jamaican Patois uses the Latin alphabet.

You remember your last big conference, right? You arrived and grabbed a coffee and a tote bag containing the materials you'd refer to throughout the event. As the keynote speaker was being introduced, you dipped into the bag and retrieved the day's agenda, a pen, and a pad of paper, all imprinted with conference branding. A few hundred of your fellow conference participants got identical bags stuffed with the same stack of materials.

Its probably 15 years since I last went to Bressingham Gardens, and I guess that I have never been in mid July before – definitely the best time to see the gardens in full flow – and consequently I thoroughly enjoyed my day out, and came away with lots of photos of plants with notes of colours and heights that will be ideal for my garden. There are thousands of different varieties of herbaceous perennials on show, and lots of trees too, especially ornamental conifers planted nearly half a century ago and now mature.
Here are some broad views to give a feel of the style and layout of planting.

Although many travelers consider France to be a not-so low cost country, it's possible to visit town of lights on a price range. Persist with household-friendly activities like museums and parks – both of which don't have to break the financial institution. And take into account in search of an airbnb or quick-time period rental , as oftentimes in Europe you possibly can snag awesome lodging for the fraction of the cost of a hotel. The Euro is still at an all-time low compared to the dollar, so take advantage and e-book your French household vacation ASAP.
Did you know it is possible to journey on as little as $10 a day in some parts of the world? Nicely, in the event you get creative together with your travel locations, it most actually is. Getting There – The best time to go to is October to March. Effectively linked with buses and rails, it is best to experience the drive to this place rather than flying down. In any other case, the closest airport is Dabolim in Goa.… Read More

One of the Great Early Citizens of Burbank who is little known to Burbankers today is Miss Octavia Lesueur known as the "Grand Little Lady" of Burbank.
In a time when women were not involved in business and leadership roles within a community, Octavia was everywhere in Burbank.
Her many accomplishments are still with us today.
She was singled out to write most of the City Charter that is with only minor changes still in use today. She was the first Park and Rec leader and was responsible for the opening of the first Park in Burbank (Vickroy) and planted 30,000 trees along the streets of Burbank in her 8 years on the park Board. Many of which still line our streets.
She organized the local Realty Board and served as its president. She also helped found the St. Jude Episcopal Church, The Burbank Women's Club and the Burbank Zonta Club for Women Executives.
She also owned her own insurance company while doing all of the above mentioned services to the community.
So next time you are driving along a street in Burbank and see a large old tree remember It was placed there for you to enjoy by a lady named Octavia!
Get your Copy of Lost Burbank Now!
Slowly fading with the city's ever-changing landscape, the places and people of Burbank's past tell a vibrant story. Before the arrival of Warner Bros. and Walt Disney, First National Pictures built its original studio lot on Olive Ave in 1926. For over sixty years, Lockheed Aircraft Company produced some of the nation's best airplanes where the massive Empire Shopping Center now stands. Heavyweight champion James Jeffries turned his Burbank ranch home and barn into a beloved landmark and boxing venue. Inventor Joseph Wesley Fawkes's scheme to build a monorail to Los Angeles became a local laughingstock. Diehard Burbankers Wes Clark and Michael Mc Daniel collect these and many more forgotten local stories where they can finally be found.

305 feet below the tip of the Statue of Liberty's torch, in the basement of the building, is the storm water pump system which serves the administrative buildings and the nearly five million tourists visiting the statue each year.
In conjunction with Reilly Construction, Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing (the distributor for our Ion Technologies division on the East Coast) assisted in a complete overhaul of the administrative buildings on the island. As part of the overhaul, six new Metropolitan/Ion Technologies model SHV100i pumps were installed with two spare pumping units left on site in case an emergency repair was needed.
As basement structures like the Statue of Liberty settle, their foundations can crack and water can seep in. Sometimes leaks are dramatic with water covering the basement floor and ruining everything in its path. Avoiding the risk of structural damage for a historic monument like the Statue of Liberty is a necessity.
The existing pumps were unable to hold drainage pressure for the new 333 linear feet drainage pressure relief system upgrade installed. The Metropolitan/Ion Technologies SHV100i pumps are rugged, high capacity pumps able to efficiently and effectively handle high water surges in the structures on the island and can move water quickly.
Due to the basement of the building being surrounded by hydrostatic pressure, water was pushing up through the slab and through an area that was supposed to be a window. Mid-Atlantic constructed a block wall where the window was and installed a channel drain where there was an exterior door to avoid the pressure being pushed up through the slab.
To avoid interrupting the daily working hours on the Island, the demolition work was done at night. In order to get on the island the maintenance workers had to coordinate with a material barge since the ferry didn't run at night. The remaining installation and repairs were done during normal business hours.
Metropolitan Industries is proud to help preserve the Statue of Liberty for future generations.

Boris Johnson could lose Foreign Secretary role in Cabinet reshuffle planned by Theresa May
The Prime Minister could also be planning to sack up to five senior ministers in order to make way for 'fresh blood'
FOREIGN Secretary Boris Johnson is set to switch jobs in a Cabinet shake-up planned by Theresa May.
The PM wants him in a new "supercharged Brexit role".
Up to five senior ministers face the sack in a ruthless clear-out to make way for "fresh blood".
Mrs May plans to kick-start the New Year with a reshuffle followed by a wave of eye-catching initiatives on bread-and-butter issues.
She wants her new-look team in place before she unveils plans to improve schools, policing, housing and the NHS.
No10 aides believe they can persuade BoJo to consider a job change following a choppy 18-month spell at the Foreign Office.
He has been adamant he will not budge but a source said: "A role which enables him to own Brexit and spend more time building alliances within the party might be just too good to resist."
Tory chairman Patrick McLoughlin, widely criticised for June's shambolic election, faces the axe.
Commons leader Andrea Leadsom, who clashed with Mrs May in the leadership battle, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling and Education Secretary Justine Greening are also at risk.
Junior ministers expected to be promoted to the top table include Brandon Lewis, who has made a great start on immigration, Damian Hinds, who has impressed at the Department for Work and Pensions, and Justice hotshot Dominic Raab.
Jeremy Hunt is widely tipped for a big promotion after five years as Health Secretary, as is Business Secretary Greg Clark.
Chancellor Philip Hammond is said to be safe after delivering a successful autumn Budget and sounding more upbeat about Brexit.
The musical chairs will also make room for newer MPs tipped as rising stars to step up into junior minister roles.
After a roller-coaster year, Mrs May is also keen to prove she can achieve more than deliver Brexit.
She said yesterday: "Making a success of Brexit is crucial, but it will not be the limit of our ambitions.
We have to carry on making a difference here and now."
