Project Focus
Accredited Epoxy Applicators P/L is well experienced in operating with industry, commercial outlets and domestic environments. Our emphasis is on friendliness, cooperation, professionalism, solid preparation, timely application and finalised outcomes.
Accredited Epoxy Applicators P/L is aware that effective preparation of all floor surfaces is critical before commencing any flooring application.
Accredited Epoxy Applicators P/L uses industry-current machinery, making the removal of concrete floor contaminants or coverings easy and time efficient. Ensuring that all flooring areas are properly prepared before any application is applied is the critical first step to ensuring a 'key' is present for the flooring application. Preparation through diamond grinding, shotblasting or industrial sanding results in a more cost effective and succesful coating system.
Being able to continue operating when getting a floor applicated can be overcome by using the most appropriate materials. Doing the work in different stages helps clients continue productivity.
Finished Projects
Flooring applications have been carried out for numerous industrial, commercial and residential customers, including the following major companys:
Able Industrial Flooring P/L
Sebel Resort, Noosa, Qld
Lanskey Construction P/L
Skehan Body Corporate Managers

Research Assignment
You will complete a short, informal, research
Your role is as follows:
You are the contract administrator for the Company that hired PR guy. Having been legally trained, you are asked by the Company's in-house counsel assess the likelihood of succeeding with the challenge of the forum by conducting preliminary research. You do not need to be prepared to litigate it yourself, but you do want to be confident that there is enough of a chance of winning on the procedural issues to justify the cost so you can report back to counsel whether hiring outside counsel is wise.
Fact pattern:
Issue: Whose law will apply, and to what result.
Company hires a freelance PR guy to do some "posting" and press releases to generate "buzz."
The PR guy, who lives in MA, has the company sign a contract that gives a forum selection clause for Massachusetts. The Company is located in South Carolina. The contract specifies that the PR and "buzz" generating efforts are to go on for six months. Payment is made in company stock, which the PR guy immediately sells in order to perform the contract, by hiring local MA promoters who do the press releases. When the contract is all but completed, the company president contacts the PR guy and tells him that his efforts are not generating enough interest in the company, and so he demands a refund of his company stock or an equivalent amount of cash. The PR guy refuses. The company sues the PR guy in state court in South Carolina, for "fraud in the inducement of the contract" saying that the PR guy uttered falsehoods when he described his own promotion company to the company. Your supervising attorney believes state law in South Carolina does not favor enforcement of forum selection clauses from out of state, so the PR guy attempts to remove the South Carolina state court case to federal court in South Carolina. The PR guy sues the corporation in state court in Massachusetts, relying on the Massachusetts long arm statute for a breach of contract claim, and the company then attempts to remove that case to federal court in Massachusetts. In what court should this matter be tried, and how will it get there?
As you do your research, start by writing out your issue statement(s). Do some preplanning. The 5Ws are helpful for analyzing the problem before starting the research proper.
Near the end, write a few sentences that apply your client's fact situation with the law that you find and how you might advise your client or how you would justify your recommendation to hire or not hire outside counsel to pursue the issue.
Your recommendation will need to be backed up with key legal authorities to be most effective.
1. This is a valid contract.
Analyzes Questions Presented Breaks down the questions, into issues and sub-issues. Clearly reviews each sub issue in detail. Research Journaling Research can easily be recreated from documentation, the analysis could be repurposed with reasonable effort into another project such as a brief, citations are in the required format, detailed and thoughtful reflection on the process and future performance is included.

What is the difference between ball end, loop end and removable ball end?
Previously, gut strings had a nodule on one side or were knotted individually by the musician so they could be fastened to the tailpiece. Strings with steel or synthetic cores require a defined end with a ball or loop so they can be fastened into the tailpiece or onto the fine tuner.
Thomastik-Infeld offers strings with ball ends and loop ends. However, Thomastik-Infeld has also developed a special solution for some violin E- and A-strings with steel cores and viola A-strings with steel cores, whereby the ball can be pressed out of or back into the loop as required. Strings with synthetic cores cannot be provided with removable balls.
Depending on the production and requirement, ball ends, crimp ends and tulip ends can be used. Each of these balls is connected to the string core using complex knotting technology. To easier differentiate the strings from one another, Thomastik-Infeld uses different materials to coat the ball ends. This leads to different results in color:

Meeting and chatting with Chris Harrison about the new season of the Bachelor airing tonight was pretty cool!
It definitely gave me a better understanding of the show. Since I am a believer in keeping it real with you all, I will say that reality TV isn't really my thing because I tend to doubt how "real" it actually is but given the openness of his answers and how he shared that drama happens on its own, so why create it, I am intrigued about this upcoming season. That and the fact that instead of 5 Ladies, there will be 28 of them which includes a set of twins. See? Twins going after the same guy must be full of drama.
Those are just some of the deets I got from Chris Harrison. Check out what else Chris shared…
- Ben questioning whether or not he can be loved and find love will be something you'll find him dealing with throughout this season.
- This Season is interesting because the drama is…"more Ben induced…because of who he is and how he…carries himself throughout the Show, which is extraordinarily well, and he's very open…because he really just gave himself and threw himself into the fire, the Drama will follow…"
- The original concept for the show was for a Bachelor, the Bachlorette wasn't even something they had considered.
- Chris feels that having Trista as their first Bachlorette and seeing Trista & Ryan fall in love that season legitimized their franchise.
- When the network first picked up The Bachelor, it was picked up for 6 one hour episodes, now they have at least 10 two hour episodes, maybe a 3 hour episode and 2 Specials (at least 24 hours).
- In every season, there's a point in the Season when everybody just gets gutted which means they can't fake their way through this. The show has a way of stripping them down and then making them start new and building themselves back up.'
- When you are wondering why a girl or guy is still on the show, we need to remember that the Bachelor (or the Bachlorette) doesn't see what we do BUT they eventually do get found out.
- When Chris started as a host he was a family man who wanted to be a rock for them but in the last four years (since his divorce) he now empathizes with them.
- While other things have had to change over time, due to social media, the last 10 minutes of their Show that has never changed. "…A man and woman, scared to death, hoping that they found true love…it is that one thing that no matter where you go in the world, kind of connects us all. It's companionship, it's that hope, that dream of finding somebody".
- When asked what his favorite season was, Chris responded with "Who's your favorite Child?"
- Chris is a believer that we all have the capacity to love more than one person at a time and feels that the show exposes that. He went on to say that "The women will make that right choice. Guys often don't…".
- Back in the days, when they were all closer in age, he spent a lot of time at the house playing Poker with the guys or stopping by to have a Beer (because they had no rules). That doesn't happen these days, it's very professional.
Since drama is a must when it comes to The Bachelor, I just had to stir some up with Chris Harrison around.
That rose is mine!!!!!!
ABC's The Bachelor, Season 20, premieres TONIGHT – MONDAY, JANUARY 4 at 8/7c.

Artist Daniel J Victor
New York, New York, USA

Fine Art Photography
Artist Statement
Informed by a life spent in the disparate worlds of New York City and the rural region of New York State's Delaware County, my work, in its celebration of authenticity, sensory subtlety, and profound discovery, stands in stark contrast to society's desperate striving for reinvention, newness and youth. In the lineage of photographers such as Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan and Edward Weston, my photographs question the indoctrinated definitions of beauty, and illuminate the conflict between the perpetual existence of the natural world and humankind's struggle against, and recognition of, our impermanent place in it.

Vaccine Misconception of the day – Aluminum in vaccines
One of the common arguments the anti-vaccine advocates use is the "toxins in vaccines" argument. They say that because some substance in vaccines is known to be toxic, such as aluminum, then its mere presence makes vaccines dangerous. What they fail to mention in almost every case however is how much of said substance is in vaccines, and at what levels is this substance toxic.
Water can be toxic to a human in high enough quantities; it's called drowning. Oxygen can be poisonous; it's called oxygen poisoning. The list of examples goes on and on but the take home point is this: any substance can be toxic in the right dose; and most substances will not be toxic at low enough levels. As they say the dose makes the poison. The same applies to aluminum.
So, how much aluminum is there in vaccines anyway, and is that level dangerous for babies? To answer that, the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has set up a short, concise, informative PDF that is available to all, for free, titled "Aluminum in Vaccines: What you should know". And unlike those in the anti-vaccine camp, the Vaccine Education Center provides all their sources in the PDF itself, for anyone who wants to verify the accuracy of their report.
What they report should satisfy everyone's curiosity.
During the first 6 months of life, infants could receive about 4 milligrams of aluminum from vaccines. That's not very much: a milligram is one-thousandth of a gram and a gram is the weight of one-fifth of a teaspoon of water. During the same period, babies will also receive about 10 milligrams of aluminum in breast milk, about 40 milligrams in infant formula, or about 120 milligrams in soy-based formula.
So to put this in perspective: a baby will get 2.5 times the amount of aluminum from breast milk, 10 times the aluminum from infant formula, and 30 times the aluminum from soy-based formula. I know of no babies that are raised without either breast milk or formula, including the babies of each person in the anti-vaccine camp, and any baby who wasn't vaccinated due to parent's fear of aluminum toxicity in vaccines.
It appears to me that the anti-vaccine crowd should switch its focus from "greening" vaccines to "greening" baby formula. I hear Big Formula makes a lot of money too out of its product….!
Safety of influenza vaccine during pregnancy
Today we will look at the recent recommendation by the CDC, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, that, all people over 6 months of age, including pregnant women receive the flu vaccine. Anti-vaccination groups have already come out, insinuating that the safety of the flu vaccine given during a woman's pregnancy has not been established. Is that true? Are there any studies that have looked at the safety of the influenza vaccine for pregnant women? The answer is yes, at the very least there is one that I was able to find, using simply Google.
Safety of influenza vaccination during pregnancy.
Munoz FM, Greisinger AJ, Wehmanen OA, Mouzoon ME, Hoyle JC, Smith FA, Glezen WP.
Study Summary – The objective of the study was to "evaluate the safety of influenza vaccine that is administered in the second or third trimester of gestation". A retrospective electronic database search of 5 influenza seasons (July 1, 1998, to June 30, 2003) was performed at a large multispecialty clinic in Houston, Texas. Immunization rates were calculated, and outcomes of pregnancy were compared between healthy women who received influenza vaccine, and a control group of healthy unvaccinated women who were matched by age, month of delivery, and type of medical insurance.
Results – Among 7183 eligible mother-infant pairs, only 252 pregnant women (3.5%) received the influenza vaccine. The mean gestational age at the time of influenza vaccination was 26.1 weeks (range, 14-39 weeks). No serious adverse events occurred within 42 days of vaccination, and there was no difference between the groups in the outcomes of pregnancy (including cesarean delivery and premature delivery) and infant medical conditions from birth to 6 months of age.
Conclusion – This study provides good evidence that pregnant women who receive the flu vaccine during the last 2 trimesters of the pregnancy, and their babies at least up to 6 months of age, face no more risks or complications than pregnant women who do not receive the flu shot during the last 2 trimesters of their pregnancy, and their babies up to 6 months of age. It appears the claims of the anti-vaccination crowd are rejected, at least as far as this study is concerned. The authors concluded as such:
Influenza vaccine that was administered in the second or third trimester of gestation was safe in this study population.
Vaccines don't raise arthritis risk in adults
READ THE FULL ARTICLE AT DOTmed.COM
Common vaccinations don't raise risk of rheumatoid arthritis, easing fears that they're linked to the inflammatory disease, according to a new study.
Case reports have suggested vaccines, possibly because of their immune-activating adjuvants, could trigger rheumatoid arthritis, a painful autoimmune disease caused by the body's natural defenses attacking and inflaming joints.
But a study published online Tuesday in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases found no link between common vaccinations for flu, hepatitis, diphtheria and other illnesses and an increased risk for rheumatoid arthritis. The study also found no increased risk for patients getting vaccinations who had a genetic susceptibility to the disease, or who were smokers. Smoking has long been thought to be a major risk factor for the disease.
Receiving multiple vaccines also didn't up the chances of getting afflicted by the joint disease.
"Our results indicate that immunological provocation of adults with common vaccines in their present form is not a major risk factor for RA," write the authors, led by Camilla Bengtsson, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. "In addition, our results indicate that active immunization does not increase the risk of RA in individuals with established risk factors."
Study links combination MMRV vaccine with double the risk for febrile seizures
The MMRV vaccine is a combination vaccine, which combines the MMR vaccine and the Varicella vaccine in a single dose. The MMR vaccine itself is a combination vaccine, providing protection from Measles, Mumps and Rubella. A recent study, published in the journal Pediatrics, shows that the risk for febrile seizures, in the 7-10 day period following receipt of the MMRV vaccine, is twice as big as compared to receiving separate MMR & Varicella vaccines in the same day, for children 12-23 months of age.
Measles-Mumps-Rubella-Varicella Combination Vaccine and the Risk of Febrile Seizures
Nicola P. Klein, Bruce Fireman, W. Katherine Yih, Edwin Lewis, Martin Kulldorff, Paula Ray, Roger Baxter, Simon Hambidge, James Nordin, Allison Naleway, Edward A. Belongia, Tracy Lieu, James Baggs, and Eric Weintraub for the Vaccine Safety Datalink 2010;126;e1-e8; originally published online Jun 29, 2010; Pediatrics DOI: 10.1542/peds.2010-0665
Study Summary – The researchers used 2000–2008 Vaccine Safety Datalink data to compare seizures and fever visits, restricted to emergency room or hospital visits, among children aged 12 to 23 months, during the 42 days after receipt of the MMRV vaccine, or the separate MMR + varicella vaccines. The study population included 83, 107 children vaccinated with MMRV between January 2006 and October 2008 and 376, 354 vaccinated with MMR varicella between January 2000 and October 2008. The secondary comparison groups consisted of 145, 302 children who received MMR vaccine alone and 107, 744 who received varicella vaccine alone from 2000 to 2008. The authors monitored weekly seizure visits and compared the rates between the vaccines.
Results – After vaccination with all measles-containing vaccines, seizure incidence peaked during days 7 to 10; the most prominent peak was recorded after MMRV vaccination. During days 7 to 10, unadjusted rates for seizures were 84.6 seizures per 1000 person-years after MMRV vaccination, 42.2 seizures per 1000 person-years after MMR + varicella vaccination, and 26.4 seizures per 1000 person-years after MMR vaccination alone. Unadjusted rates during days 7 to 10 were nearly 8 times higher for MMRV and 4 and 3.5 times higher for MMR varicella and MMR vaccination alone, as compared to Varicella vaccine alone.
Conclusion – The study looked at over 459 000 children, 12-to-23 months of age, who were vaccinated with either the MMRV vaccine, or separate MMR & Varicella vaccines, and found the MMRV to be associated with increased fever and seizures 7-10 days following vaccination. When compared to separate MMR + Varicella vaccine received at the same time, the combination MMRV vaccine was associated with a two-fold increase in risk of having a febrile seizure in the 7-10 days following vaccination. The authors estimated this meant 1 additional case of febrile seizure for every 2,300 doses of MMRV vaccine given, as compared to separate MMR & Varicella vaccines received at the same time. There was no difference in seizure risk outside of the 7-10 day window. The study shows that both MMRV, and MMR+Varicella vaccines are associated with increased seizure risk in the 7-10 day window, as compared to Varicella vaccine alone, with the risk from MMRV being twice as high as the separate MMR+Varicella vaccinations. Here is what the authors of the study had to say:
Among 12- to 23-month-olds receiving their first dose of measles-containing vaccine, the risk of fever and seizure are elevated 7 to 10 days after vaccination. The use of MMRV vaccine instead of separate MMR varicella vaccines approximately doubles the risk for fever and febrile seizures, resulting in 1 additional febrile seizure for every 2300 doses of MMRV vaccine administered instead of separate MMR and varicella vaccines.
Bottom Line: Talk to your pediatrician about this; it appears the best route is to take the separate MMR+Varicella vaccines as opposed to the single MMRV shot. Febrile seizures are fairly common, with 1 in 25 children experiencing at least one seizure. While witnessing a child going through one is scary, they are generally harmless. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke:
Although they can be frightening to parents, the vast majority of febrile seizures are harmless. During a seizure, there is a small chance that the child may be injured by falling or may choke from food or saliva in the mouth. Using proper first aid for seizures can help avoid these hazards (see section entitled "What should be done for a child having a febrile seizure?").
There is no evidence that febrile seizures cause brain damage. Large studies have found that children with febrile seizures have normal school achievement and perform as well on intellectual tests as their siblings who don't have seizures. Even in the rare instances of very prolonged seizures (more than 1 hour), most children recover completely.
Between 95 and 98 percent of children who have experienced febrile seizures do not go on to develop epilepsy. However, although the absolute risk remains very small, certain children who have febrile seizures face an increased risk of developing epilepsy. These children include those who have febrile seizures that are lengthy, that affect only part of the body, or that recur within 24 hours, and children with cerebral palsy, delayed development, or other neurological abnormalities. Among children who don't have any of these risk factors, only one in 100 develops epilepsy after a febrile seizure.
Vaccine Safety & Efficacy-Flu vaccine
Today we will look at a study about the efficacy and safety of the flu vaccine in infants. The study was published in The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal in February 2010.
Safety and immunogenicity of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in infants: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study.
Englund JA, Walter E, Black S, Blatter M, Nyberg J, Ruben FL, Decker MD; GRC28 Study Team.
Study Summary- This was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in 1375 healthy US infants 6 to 12 weeks of age. Subjects received 2 doses of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV, Fluzone, Sanofi Pasteur; N = 915) or placebo (N = 460) 1 month apart in combination with indicated concomitant vaccines. Solicited adverse events were collected for 7 days following vaccination, and unsolicited adverse events for 28 days. Antibodies to all 3 vaccine strains were measured following the second TIV/placebo dose.
Results – No significant differences were seen between TIV and placebo groups for any safety outcome. Fever > or =38 degrees C within 3 days of vaccination was seen in 11.2% versus 11.7% of TIV versus placebo recipients. Serious adverse events within 28 days were reported in 1.9% of TIV and 1.5% of placebo recipients. Antibody responses to childhood vaccines were similar in both groups. Increased influenza-specific antibody responses in TIV recipients compared with placebo recipients were seen against all 3 strains in TIV recipients, with better responses to influenza A strains noted. Reciprocal geometrical mean titer to H1N1, H3N2, and B were 33, 95, and 11 in TIV recipients versus 7, 9, and 5 for placebo recipients.
Conclusion – This study fulfills all the basic requirements for a well designed scientific study. The sample was large (1,375 participants); it was double-blind, randomized and placebo controlled. This study showed that the trivalent, inactivated flu vaccine was just as safe as the placebo and highly more efficient than placebo in inducing antibody response to all three strains of the virus. The authors concluded as such:
TIV administered to young infants beginning at 6 to 12 weeks of age is safe and immunogenic.
CDC releases preliminary data on 2009 H1N1 vaccine and Guillain-Barre Syndrome
As part of its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a report titled "Preliminary Results: Surveillance for Guillain-Barré Syndrome After Receipt of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine — United States, 2009–2010". This publication reports on an analysis of preliminary data, the focus of which was to look for any signs of increased risk of GBS rates among individuals receiving the 2009 monovalent H1N1 vaccine in the United States.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder (affecting about 1.65 and 1.79 in 100,000) in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system. On some occasions, it has been identified to be triggered by surgery or vaccination. For example, as has been widely reported, especially by the anti-vaccination crowd, the 1976 influenza A (H1N1) vaccine was associated with a statistically significant increased risk for GBS of over 10 cases per million, and it appears that some vaccines may account for a slight overall increase in GBS risk.
Given the history with the 1976 H1N1 vaccine, the CDC has been closely monitoring the 2009 H1N1 vaccines, through its Emerging Infections Program (EIP) since October 2009. Preliminary results of this analysis show an excess of 0.8 cases of GBS for 1,000,000 vaccinations, similar to the rate for seasonal influenza vaccines. If this holds up when the full review is released some time in the Fall of 2010, it would mean that the 2009 H1N1 vaccine will be associated with an 8% increase over the expected GBS rate of 1 in 100,000.
To put things in perspective, while the H1N1 vaccine may be associated with less than 1 additional case of GBS per million vaccines, the disease it protects from, H1N1 influenza has been associated with 9.7 deaths per million. According to Wikipedia, 80% of GBS patients recover fully, which means that of the 0.8 additional cases per million vaccination, only about 0.16 will have permanent effects (including paralysis and death). To put this further into perspective, if this association holds, we should expect about 16 cases of additional GBS with permanent side effects, for every 100,000,000 vaccinations. At the same time the death rate from influenza A (H1N1) would be at about 970. And if that is not enough perspective, according to this study, the mortality rate, at least for the period 2000-2004 was at 2.58 %, whereas Wikipedia estimates overall mortality rate to be at around 4%. Using the larger number, the 4% from Wikipedia, if the association holds at the same level, we would expect an additional 3.2 vaccine induced GBS deaths versus 970 influenza H1N1 deaths, per 100 million people.
Even if the H1N1 vaccine is only 50% effective in preventing H1N1 influenza, that's still 485 saved lives vs. 3.2 additional deaths. This overwhelmingly shows that vaccinating for influenza A (H1N1) is to be highly preferred vs. not vaccinating, since the chances of any one person dying from influenza would be about 151 times higher than dying from vaccine induced GBS. To put it differently, every person that chooses not to vaccinate for H1N1 out of fear of dying of vaccine induced GBS, is effectively choosing to take a risk of dying from the disease 151 times higher than the one they are afraid of (and this is only at an assumed 50% vaccine efficacy rate)! That is kind of like preferring to jump out of the 10th floor of a building because you're afraid you may break your leg jumping out of the first floor window.
Does the MMR vaccine cause autism?
The question of safety is the main vaccine concern. Are vaccines safe? If I vaccinate my child, will that have negative effects for their health? Of course, these questions are extremely broad to be answered all at once. Thus I will be breaking the answers in little bits. Today we will look at the MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) vaccine and autism. Is the MMR vaccine correlated with autism? A quick PubMed search found this study from the June 12, 1999 Lancet (the same journal that originally published and recently retracted the Wakefield study that is widely credited with starting the MMR/vaccine hysteria):
Autism and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: no epidemiological evidence for a causal association.
Taylor B, Miller E, Farrington CP, Petropoulos MC, Favot-Mayaud I, Li J, Waight PA.
Department of Community Child Health, Royal Free and University College Medical School, University College London, UK
Study Summary: The authors looked at data about autism diagnoses since 1979 and data about MMR vaccinations, which started in 1988 in the UK, to try to see if there is any increase in autism diagnoses in or around the time when the MMR vaccine was introduced. They found that autism rates were steadily increasing every year and no "step-up" in autism diagnoses occurred when the vaccine was introduced, thus lending credibility to the conclusion that MMR does not seem to increase autism rates.
There was a steady increase in cases by year of birth with no sudden "step-up" or change in the trend line after the introduction of MMR vaccination. There was no difference in age at diagnosis between the cases vaccinated before or after 18 months of age and those never vaccinated. There was no temporal association between onset of autism within 1 or 2 years after vaccination with MMR (relative incidence compared with control period 0.94 [95% CI 0.60-1.47] and 1.09 [0.79-1.52]). Developmental regression was not clustered in the months after vaccination (relative incidence within 2 months and 4 months after MMR vaccination 0.92 [0.38-2.21] and 1.00 [0.52-1.95]). No significant temporal clustering for age at onset of parental concern was seen for cases of core autism or atypical autism with the exception of a single interval within 6 months of MMR vaccination. This appeared to be an artifact related to the difficulty of defining precisely the onset of symptoms in this disorder. INTERPRETATION: Our analyses do not support a causal association between MMR vaccine and autism. If such an association occurs, it is so rare that it could not be identified in this large regional sample.
Now, let us keep in mind that, one study never proves anything. At best one study points to a possible direction, no matter how well done, and how rock solid that one study may appear. What matters is the literature as a whole; what do all the studies done on the topic suggest. As such, given that this is the first study about vaccines & autism we've reviewed here, let us not interpret this as proof that the MMR vaccine is not correlated to autism. Only when we have found more studies, and only when all the studies appear to reach the same conclusion can we say with any level of certainty that it appears highly unlikely that the MMR vaccines causes an increase in autism levels.
Why we changed our minds and started to vaccinate.
How is it that an anti-VAX family could become not only pro-VAX, but vaccination advocates? It happened because of one word. Evidence. We are both naturally minded parents (believing strongly in co-sleeping, breastfeeding, home births and baby-wearing) and evidence based parents. It's not always easy but we try to always keep an open mind and allow our opinions to change as new and better research and evidence comes to light. Occasionally the two conflict but in the end, facts and evidence always win.
In 2005 we were pregnant with our first child. Another couple of months and we were going to have our very first, our very own little bundle of joy. A boy. We were so excited. Along with any other new parents to be, we wanted to be the best parents.
So our research started early. Of course one major topic to research was vaccines. What did we want to vaccinate against? How many shots should we give him?? How many were enough?? How many were too many!?! What were the side effects!!??! Side effects!!?!!!!? Arrrggghhh!!!!!
Our increasingly panicked questions were only answered with ever more frightening answers. Sickness. Hospitals. Side effects. Mercury. Toxins. Autism. It is enough to drive any parent mad. By the time our son was born it was decided. We were absolutely NOT vaccinating our little boy and exposing him to all those chemicals and possibly even autism. Maybe if someone actually did a proper study and found vaccines to be safe, we would reconsider. But without that, definitely not.
So, that's where we left it. For about two years we never discussed the topic. But we found it was still bothering us at an increasing level. We were seeing our friends vaccinate their kids. Didn't they know what they were doing? If vaccines were so horrible and toxic why were these people that we knew, cared about and respected harming their own children? Even worse, why was nothing being done about it? Why was nobody studying this?
So after over two years of this eating away at us we went back to researching. It just didn't make sense that this was such a controversial subject, yet no one was studying it. So we Googled again. Found the same frightening information as before. Went on the CDC's site again. Then we went one step further and started looking through some medical journals as well. There just had to be something in there. Some evidence.
Turns out there was. Lots of it. And not the evidence we were expecting to find. It turned out Dr. Mercola and Jenny McCarthy were not the experts on vaccines. It turns out there are hundreds, of doctors, scientists and medical professionals who have spent their lives studying and researching this stuff. Not just the viruses but also the vaccines, their effectiveness, their ingredients and their side effects. And these experts were not just from the pharmaceutical industry. In fact, most of the information I collected over the next year were independent studies. Yes, there were some from "Big Pharma", but assuming a bias I simply ignored those. Yet there were many more from The World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and many universities around the world.
What I started to notice was that the anti-VAX "movement" didn't have any real evidence backing its reasoning. There were many sad stories (and many of them were truly heartbreaking) correlating autism and other diseases with vaccines. There were a lot of anecdotes. Yet no evidence. And I was looking for evidence. Facts.
So if autism and other similar disorders were being correlated to vaccines, then why? If autism rates were going up, why? If vaccines weren't the cause then what was? Well it turned out the first two questions were the easy ones to answer.
The main reason autism was being correlated to vaccines had simply to do with a coincidence of timing. Autism usually starts to show right in the middle of the childhood vaccine schedule. Right around 18-24 months a previously healthy and alert child can seem to stop developing mentally. They may even start to forget how to do things they previously had learned. So you go to see your doctor and find out your child has been diagnosed with autism.
As a worried and concerned parent you would try to think of what could have done this to your happy healthy baby. Did they fall? Did they hit their head? Did they choke on anything recently? Then you remember. They did just get their vaccines a couple of months ago. Maybe that was it? And that is how it happens. Correlation. It is an easy answer for a scary and sad situation. A good scapegoat. Yet there is no evidence. Just bad timing.
So then why are more and more children being diagnosed with autism? Well, it turns out they are not. The US National Library of Medicine, CDC and World Health Organization classes "…autism as a 'spectrum' disorder." that has grown to include many other neurological disorders. "Asperger syndrome is a milder version of the disorder." So what is actually happening is that more diseases are being reported and classified as autism and therefore on paper it looks as though autism rates are rising. They are not. The definition of autism is just expanding.
So then what is causing autism? Well, that is a harder one to answer. The real answer is, we don't know But according to the National institute of Nurological Disorders and Stroke, "Scientists aren't certain about what causes ASD, but it's likely that both genetics and environment play a role. Researchers have identified a number of genes associated with the disorder."
There is a lot we don't know about autism and its causes, and it is currently being studied. However thanks to many studies (www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/ autism/documents/vaccine_ studies.pdf) we know that there is no evidence showing any currently available vaccine contains any ingredient that causes ASD.
I also learned just how well our vaccines worked. According to the CDC, between 1953 and 1963 the United States recorded an average of 450 measles related deaths per year. Now thanks to vaccines that number is essentially zero. Before pneumococcal conjugate vaccine became available for children, pneumococcus caused 6,100 deaths per year in the U.S. Since the vaccine was introduced, the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease in children has been reduced by 75%.In the 1920's, diphtheria was a major cause of illness and death for children in the U.S. In 1921, a total of 206,000 cases and 15,520 deaths were reported. With vaccine development in 1923, new cases of diphtheria began to fall in the U.S., until in 2001 only two cases were reported. There are so many examples of just how well they work it's mind-boggling.
And yes there are sometimes side effects, but let's put some things into perspective. Let's look at a few statistics. The odds of getting hit by lightning at some point in your life is 1:5000. The odds of being struck and killed by said lightning strike is 1:2million. The odds of being killed in a car accident is 1:6250. The odds that a woman will die in childbirth in North America is 1:4800. The odds of a child who has contracted the measles dying is 1:1000. The odds of having a long term severe reaction to the MMR vaccine…. about 1:1million.
The final kicker for me was learning how the modern day anti-VAX movement began. In the past it had been a largely religious movement. People of many different faiths didn't believe people should be interfering with God's work. This meant that it was (and still is for some people) literally against their religion to get things like vaccines, blood transfusions and even some surgeries. They didn't argue that vaccines didn't work. That is irrelevant. They just chose not to get them because if God decided it was you or your child's time to be sick, blind, disfigured, sterile, crippled or dead, they were okay with that. It must be part of God's plan.
Now let me tell you about a Canadian trained British physician named Andrew Wakefield. In 1998 he published a research study in the medical journal The Lancet. In his study he alleged a possible connection with the MMR vaccine and autism. His hypothesis was that the MMR vaccine caused a leaky gut which sent toxins into the blood stream then manifested itself into autism. This was the first time such an idea had been put forth and he got a lot of media coverage for it. In the years following the immunization rates in the UK decreased substantially.
In 2004, ten of the thirteen contributing authors had retracted the conclusion portion of this study and said, "We wish to make it clear that in this paper no causal link was established between MMR vaccine and autism as the data were insufficient. However, the possibility of such a link was raised and consequent events have had major implications for public health. In view of this, we consider now is the appropriate time that we should together formally retract the interpretation placed upon these findings in the paper, according to precedent."
By March of 2004, the General Medical Council (GMC) launched a formal investigation into Andrew Wakefield and two of his former colleges. He is being charged by the GMC with suppressing and falsifying data. It has also come to light that he was being paid to conduct the study by solicitors representing parents who believed their children had been harmed by MMR. His trial is scheduled to begin on November 19, 2009. In the mean time he has been practicing medicine on autistic children in Texas studying a new disease which he calls 'autistic enterocolitis.' However he has put no evidence forth to prove this is a real disease and it is not recognized by the medical or scientific community.
So just to be clear, the person who first put forth the idea that vaccines are harmful and can cause autism was being paid by people who had an interest in a specific result. He is being accused of scientific misconduct and data fixing by the GMC and his former colleges for ensuring that result.
So when asked why we vaccinate we say, "Because the evidence shows they work. They control the spread of disease and stop mass pandemics from happening. Yes, they have side effects, but the side effects are less serious and happen less often than the disease they are vaccinating against."
We are not saying anyone reading this should listen to us. Or do what we do. Or that our way is the right way. Every family needs to make their own decisions on what is best for their family. What I do hope is that every family will take in all the evidence before making their decisions. Talk it over with their physician. Then even after that decision is made keep reading on the topic. Check in every now and then to see if things have changed. Always keep an eye out for new, better and more reliable evidence. Our decisions were not made lightly, but we now have two boys on a full vaccination schedule. It was a long process but we now feel less fear and more confident in the health and well being of our family.

No abnormalities found in flu vaccine, yet: Bishop
Authorities have yet to get to the bottom of the flu vaccine scare in Western Australia, with tests so far showing no signs of abnormalities.
Chief medical officer Jim Bishop says there is a possibility a spike in cases of fever and convulsions for young children in WA could simply be linked to the higher number of vaccinations performed there.
He's sought to reassure the public once more following last week's moratorium on seasonal flu vaccinations for children aged under five.
To date there have been 57 cases in WA, compared to six in Victoria, four in NSW and Queensland, two in South Australia and one each in Tasmania and the ACT.
Tests conducted by the manufacturer, the Therapeutic Goods Administration and other independent experts have so far failed to pinpoint a possible cause, Professor Bishop said.
"We don't have evidence at this time that there's any abnormality with the batch or with the vaccine," he said.

Generally, people get in touch with the land registration system at least once in a lifetime. Whether it concerns the purchase of a property, the mortgage or the succession, the property registration system is directly or indirectly involved. Sometimes it's necessary only simple, basic and easily obtained information, while other times it is necessary complex, related and thoroughly construed information. This depends on the available information in the system and on the expertise of the one researching it.
Which is the available information? How can it be accessed? What is the value of this information? There is no general answer for all land registration systems in Europe, but every system must be elaborated separately in order to get the right answer. Moreover, the depth of the answers varies depending on the level of knowledge in the field and everyone's needs. On the other hand, the dynamics of national and European legislation must be considered, so that the answers to the questions that might arise regarding Land Registry to be not only correct but current.
Considering these grounds, ELRN of ELRA has elaborated more fact sheets aimed to provide answers to the specific questions on land registration.
The first fact sheet refers to formal publicity and contains information regarding the manner and the conditions to get information from land registry, how and where can it be used, the content and effects arisen from the interaction with land registration system.
This fact sheet is structured in 3 chapters:
- How to get the Information.
- The content of the information.
- The legal effect of the L.R. information.
Each chapter has more sections. The first chapter approaches matters on the access to land registration system both in terms of legal and administrative point of view, how to obtain information from the system and the manner of providing it. The second chapter deals with the content of the information. It also describes the structure of the existent information in land registration system. The third chapter approaches the effect of interaction with land registration system and the legal value of the obtained information.
The information is updated by the contact points of ELRA which are land registrars currently using this information.

Video: Healthcare.gov website crashes during Sebelius PR event … againposted at 12:41 pm on November 20, 2013 by Ed MorrisseyRemember when this happened in Pittsburgh in the second week of the ObamaCare rollout? At least this time, Kathleen Sebelius signed up more people on her visit yesterday to South Florida than she did in Pennsylvania. A whopping two people managed to get all the way through the failing website to enroll in insurance during this media event at the office of an official ACA navigator:More at Hot Air

The Black Velvet Angelfish, also known as the Gray Poma, is predominantly black with a variable-sized splash of gray on the head and the horizontal upper half of the body. The tail and posterior tip of the dorsal fin is outlined in yellow.
The Black Velvet Angelfish is shy and may be difficult to acclimatize. It needs a tank of not less than 55 gallons with plenty of hiding places. It is not a good reef dweller, since it nips at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles.
It is hermaphroditic, very difficult to breed in an aquarium, and indistinguishable by coloration from male to female.
The Black Velvet Angelfish prefers a diet of Spirulina, marine algae, quality angelfish preparations, shrimp and other meaty fare, along with live rock for grazing on filamentous algae and diatoms.

Ziauddin Yousafzai and Muhammad Iqbal who spoke at a recent conference in SOAS, London, embody a progressive Pakistan
Too many Pakistanis have suffered at the hands of extremism and violence. The latest victim, a college principal in Charsadda, was killed because he reprimanded a student for his absence from college. The student, who had been participating in the Faizabad dharna instead of attending classes, shot the principal, accusing him of blasphemy. For the record, the martyred principal was a Hafiz-e-Quran and had a Masters in Arabic, Pashto and Islamiat.
Once again, religion was used to justify a murder. Once again, an enlightened citizen was targeted, one who understood the essence of religion far better than his wayward attacker. We have seen this before, most recently in the tragic case of Mashal Khan.
Last weekend I had the good fortune of being able to spend some time listening to and interacting with Mashal's father, Muhammed Iqbal, who was invited to SOAS (University of London), in collaboration with Bloomsbury Pakistan, to deliver the 2018 Bacha Khan Lecture. Malala's father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, introduced Muhammad Iqbal as Iqbal Lala, as he is affectionately known, as the "bravest Pashtun he ever met".
Iqbal Lala's composure and dignity in the face of adversity was as inspirational as Ziauddin Sahib's eloquence. As they took the podium, one after the other, their courage, integrity and above all, their humanity, shone through. Both are humble men, neither comes from a wealthy background or a big city. But both share a vision for a progressive Pakistan. As they spoke, I could only wish that university students and civil society in Pakistan had the opportunity to listen to what they had to say, that the Pakistani state could ask for their guidance in helping to build a counter-narrative against the extremist ideology that is destroying the fabric of our society.
Strikingly gracious despite his enormous grief, Iqbal Lala was proud of the fact that people of all religions, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Muslims, of all sects, came to pay their respects at the death of his son. Referencing Muhammed Ali Jinnah's famous speech of August 11, 1947, wherein he advocated the rights of all citizens to practice their religion as they deemed fit and for the State not to interfere, Iqbal Lala emphasised the need to make the contents of that speech a part of the Pakistani constitution.
Equally, he stressed the importance of harmony among the disparate ethnic and linguistic groups of Pakistan. In spite of the horrific manner in which his precious son was maimed and killed, Iqbal Lala harboured no ill-will and displayed no sign of hate towards any group or community. This is important because too often the only counter-narrative to religiously-inspired politics in Pakistan is based on ethno-linguistic affiliations, which, in turn, can be as divisive.
The idea of moving beyond identity politics for a common citizenship based on progressive ideology is really the only counter-narrative that can bring together the many different groups of people within Pakistan to rally against the shared enemy: extremism and violence. Iqbal Lala spoke of the need for safety of all our citizens. He mentioned that in the days of his youth the people of his town did not have doors but only curtains and yet people felt safe. He talked about eid melas where both women and men participated in the public space.
Both Iqbal Lala and Ziauddin Sahib spoke earnestly about breaking the shackles of patriarchy, and in his introduction, Ziauddin Sahib noted that when Iqbal Lala's first daughter was born, he made sure to celebrate the birth with the fanfare most often reserved for sons in his village. "Real tabdeeli," Ziauddin Sahib said, "is when a brother says he will check with his sister before making a plan with his friends instead of the other way round." He also stressed the importance of inculcating a democratic culture at home, whereby children can freely express their thoughts. These are the family values that he said he and Iqbal Lala had wished to impart to their children.
"Don't kill them for their questions. Answer their questions," Ziauddin Sahib stated. Students like Malala and Mashal dared to dream. They dared to think freely, and most importantly, they spoke truth to power. Malala spoke out against Talibanisation at a time when the Taliban had wrested control of Swat. And Mashal exposed the corruption at the upper echelons of Wali Khan University. For this, they were targeted. Sadly, when minds are stifled and free expression is restrained, those who wish to turn religion on its head, to justify violence in its name, are given a free rein because reason is taken out of the discourse.
Repeatedly, we have seen those who wish to promote a rational discourse on religion, men like Javed Ghamidi, fend off attacks on their lives or flee the country, while those who yell abuses in the name of religion or destroy public property or orchestrate killings, the likes of Khadim Rizvi, Sufi Mohammed or Ehsanullah Ehsan, call the shots. It is a depressing reality and makes one despondent to think about it, and yet a man like Iqbal Lala, having suffered the most
deadly blow, continues to remain optimistic.
"I have met many good people in Pakistan," he said. "After Mashal's murder, I know that there are many flowers in Pakistan. It is just that they are yet to become a bouquet."
As he spoke of Iqbal Lala's resolve, Ziauddin Sahib noted that Iqbal Lala, to him, is "the embodiment of Surah Asar". Surah Asar, one of the shortest surahs in the Quran and hence easy to memorise, emphasises the importance of righteous deeds, truth and patience as the essence of religion.
Unfortunately, those who use religion for political gain, or as a weapon of fear, dissociate religion from its most elementary virtues. Making this distinction, of following the core principles of religion in our personal lives but putting an end to the abuse of religion in the public sphere, is more crucial than ever before.
