Every time I get an email or read an article or blog post with a YouTube link, anxiety skitters through me. To play, or not to play? Most of the time, I don't play.
I am afraid of YouTube.
To varying degrees, I'm also afraid of Twitter and Facebook.
I could blame it on being, ahem, shall we say past the first flush of youth. That's a factor, but it isn't the whole picture. Technology doesn't inherently scare me. The people who use it are another matter. But technology is pretty cool.
I could claim to be upset by the potential for unintentionally invading some poor teenager's privacy when a video of him getting walloped in the groin by a baseball bat wielding two-year-old trashes his dreams of stealing fifth-grade girls' hearts from Justin Bieber. But that's only a minor consideration.
I do worry about unsuspecting young people not realizing the depths of garden-variety depravity to which they may expose themselves with photos, clever videos, sexting, and what have you. But this doesn't contribute to my personal fear.
Free-floating anxiety, of which I have more than the average bear, isn't to blame. No. I've acquired skills for talking myself down.
There is one thing about YouTube I can't get away from. However alluring all those funny videos are, and there's no denying the bone-deep appeal of Randall's honey badger narration, they will Suck Up All the Time in the Universe.
YouTube is the blackest hole of a time sink on this side of the galaxy.
Alas, unlike the honey badger, I give a shit. I have books to write, research to do, and more books to read than I can fit into my days as it is. There are children in my life who are still young enough to want actual interaction. These circumstances alone, though wouldn't make YouTube super scary. I also have a little issue with an OCD approach to clever film clips. I may have been born without a stop button. Therefore . . .
I am afraid of YouTube. Not memes. Memes are fine. But I will never be ahead of any curves that start on YouTube. I know my limitations.

Well said, Lynn! I'm with you. The time suck potential is HUGE, which I'm reminded of each time I spend another 3 minutes (and another and another) listening to the honey badger video, or some such. Back to work!!!

This is pretty much how I feel about television. It's a black hole into which I can pour my entire life without really meaning too. Which is why I don't have TV in my home. I have a television on which I watch selected CD's, DVD's and Video Tapes from my collection. I am not a television snob; much of what is on is entertaining, some of it even educational (by that, I mean American Pickers). But give me access to TV, and I might as well live in a studio apartment over my mother's garage, because it takes over my life. It's just better if I don't go there.

Anon, I know what you mean. I've spent long periods of my life without television, and never missed it. Okay, maybe I missed "The Partridge Family" when I was ten, but it didn't hurt me. And the years in my twenties and thirties when I didn't have TV were great.
The difference for me between TV and Internet time sucks probably lies only in the fact that I can limit myself with TV. That's long practice. When I see a "Battlestar Gallactica" marathon (either series), I resist the temptation to put it on the DVR, plant my butt on the couch and settle in. The resistance is automatic now. I could get there with YouTube, too, I'm sure. Because I avoid it, it still seems too new and shiny to deny. One taste and I'm a goner. I suppose I'll have to get over that.

I love that you and I are on the opposite ends of so many contentious issues; 70's funk, 80's Michael Jackson, and now YouTube. I cancelled my cable last year and I find I don't miss it so much (True Blood excepted of course) because YouTube has filled the gap. And instead of having to settle in for a half hour or hour show, I can get entertainment in 5 minute bites. Perfect for a treat after making a word goal!

Hello everyone!
My name is Matt Dudek and I am a 3rd year dental student at Temple Dental School in Philadelphia. I was introduced to the crown council through my two mentors who are also crown council members. I have also strengthened my relationship with Steve Anderson through Eagle University, where I am returning as a team leader for my fourth year.
I have a goal to set up my mentor network by the end of my 3rd year in dental school, and I need your help! My five year goal is to be second in command at a private office with intention to own. My ten year goal is to own/co-own a private dental office where my employees love to come to work. I do have a special interest in implants.
If you fit this description or know someone who would be willing to mentor, any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone has a fantastic year ahead!
Best wishes,
Matt Dudek

Hi Friends - I've been unable to visit your blogs, comment, or post because of on-going Internet connection problems. Five times we have been told the problem is fixed, only to have it return. The technicians sent by the company seem to be bending over backwards to help, but we seem to have some little gremlin in the system that is having a lot of fun at every one's expense. Oh well, in the scheme of things this does not qualify as a big problem, does it? I'm trying to make the most of this window of functionality before we lose the connection again!
In the interim I've been preparing some textures for you. The first, here in this post, is a little different and I hope you will like it as much as I do. It's called "Ephemeral". I'd love to see how you use it!

LONDON & SE took this season's Under-18 Divisional Festival title with a hard-earned 29-18 win over the North in an entertaining final at Moseley's Billesley Common ground today.
London recovered well after conceding a first minute try but the result was on doubt until replacement open side flanker James Speirs (Roundwood Park School, Harpenden and Hertfordshire) crossed for the deciding try in the final minute.
The two winners from Friday's opening matches produced a free-flowing encounter which began with a try from North centre George Elliot (Giggleswick School, Leeds Carnegie and Yorkshire) who rounded off an attack down the left.
It was Elliot's second try in as many minutes in the Festival as he scored with the final play of the match to snatch victory over the South West on Friday.
But London recovered well from that early setback and soon levelled when scrum-half Matt Keyte (Dulwich College, Harlequins and Surrey) sniped over for an unconverted try after a sustained attack.
A penalty from centre Christian Georgiou (Crossley Heath School, Old Brodleians and Yorkshire) restored the North's lead but London continued to make inroads through the penetrative running of centre Henry Staff (Bedford Modern School, Saracens and Hertfordshire) and left wing Marland Yarde (Whitgift School, London Irish and Middlesex).
It was a break from Staff that set up fly-half Sam Stanley (Oaklands College, Saracens and Essex), the nephew of former New Zealand centre Joe Stanley, for the try that allowed London to regain the lead.
Replacement Craig Ratford (Twyford CE High School, London Wasps and Middlesex) and London scored again when lock Kieran Low (Havant College, Chichester and Sussex) drove over late in the first half.
The lead was reduced to four points when North wing Jordon Kennedy (Wilmslow HS, Sale Sharks and Cheshire), the son of Sale owner Brian Kennedy, crossed four minutes into the second half but Ratford then set up loosehead prop Rob Buchanan (Ar Bedes School, Harlequins and Sussex) for an important try which he also improved.
Forward pressure created a try for the North's replacement loosehead prop Simon McIntyre (St Bedes School, Broughton Park and Lancashire) which set up a tense finale.
But Speirs sealed victory with a strong diagonal run to the line.
The South West won the third-place play-off by easing to a 39-7 win over a disappointing Midlands.
The South West were 27-0 up early in the second half through tries from fly-half Tom Heathcoat (Bishop Wordworth's School, Bath and Dorset & Wilts), tight head prop Thomas Harrison (Hartpury College, Gloucester and Gloucestershire), full-back William Jones (Henley College, London Wasps and Oxfordshire) and replacement scrum-half Alex Jeffery (Ivybridge College, South West Regional Academy and Devon). Heathcote added one conversion.
Openside flanker Oliver Robinson (Prior Park College, Bath and Somerset) featured prominently in the build-up to two of the South West's tries and he was watched by his father Andy, the former England flanker and coach.
The Midlands rallied for a time in the second half and scored a consolation try when replacement flanker Sam Farmer (Bedford School, Northampton Saints and East Midlands) drove over from close range and Lee Chapman (Hartpury College, Old Coventrians and Warwickshire) tagged on the conversion.
But the South West finished the stronger side and pulled away again with replacement winger Ryan Brend (Hartpury College, Gloucester and Devon) and Jones, again, scoring further tries the last of which was converted by replacement Michael Wilcox (St Peter's RC HS, Gloucester and Gloucestershire).
The Divisional Festival was switched from Broadstreet to Moseley because of the forecast of freezing weather conditions over the weekend. All matches were played on the 3G rubber crumb all-weather pitch at Moseley.
Seven of the players involved in the Divisional Festival are likely to be included in the England Under-18 squad to prepare for the Six Nations Tournament in Italy from April 12-18.
A second England Under-18 squad of around 30 players will be selected to prepare for the AER European Tournament in the Toulon area of France from April 5 to 11.
The England AER squad will train at Bromsgrove School on the weekends of January 30-February 1 and February 6-8.
Matches against the Worcester Warriors Academy (February 22) and the Northampton Saints Academy (March 8) will be played at Bromsgrove School before the international against Japan High Schools at Plymouth Albion on Sunday March 22 (2.30pm).

I really enjoyed this one. And I was very glad it wasn't the "female John Wick" as some people described it. John Wick is a movie about assassins. This is a Cold War spy-action flick. Very different things.
It also had some not-surprising, but nevertheless interesting sub-points about world politics and in some ways, perhaps showing that the tension in the 80's was not so different than some of the tensions now.
The shots are all well done and there were some more gimmicky set ups that were very clearly an allusion to the graphic novel it's based on. I also really loved the use of lighting and specifically the color lighting throughout the film.
I did feel like the girl-on-girl sex scene was a little gratuitous. Especially because they reference the main character having had sex with a male multiple times–all of which are given the kissing-faces-and-you-know-the-rest treatment. But when it's two girls, let's have an all out HBO fuck fest?? Ugh. Why couldn't they have James McAvoy having a full frontal sex scene with some other dude in the movie?! Mmmhm. That's what I thought.
All in all, glad I saw it in the theatres. Bottom line, the action scenes were worth it. I will look forward to watching this again on one of those call in to work, PMS, rainy days. : D

ISPs BT and Sky offer the best customer service and technical support, according to a study by Broadband Genie.
Researchers at the broadband comparison site posed as customers looking to switch from another provider in a bid to rate the customer service levels provided by by the six biggest UK ISPs.
Broadband Genie looked at a number of factors such as cost, information available, call centre opening times and technical support.
Broadband Genie said it was impressed with BT's free support – which was available all day every day – as well as the friendliness and speed with which Sky handled customer service calls.
I'm sure many of you visiting this BT complaints site will have something to say about this!
"There were marked differences between all the providers that could make all the difference to a consumer. It just goes to show how important it is to do some research before committing to a potentially lengthy contract," said Broadband Genie editor Chris Marling.
Marling also revealed the comparison site was disappointed with the customer service provided by Orange and TalkTalk – in particular the cost of technical support calls.
"Some people are very lucky with their fixed-line broadband connection, going for years without experiencing a problem. However, when things do take a turn for the worst, it can be devastating: people don't realise how much they take the web for granted and how they have come to rely on a good internet connection. So, when things do go wrong, it is vital the correct support is ready and waiting."

India's Central Board of Direct Taxes issued draft changes to the income tax rules and forms to align them more closely with the OECD's base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) Action 5 relating to permanent establishment-related rulings.
Under BEPS Action 5, permanent establishment-related rulings (by India's Authority for Advance Rulings) are required to be exchanged not only with the countries of residence of all related parties with whom a taxpayer enters into transactions but also with the country of residence of the immediate parent company and the ultimate parent company.
To implement the recommendations made under BEPS Action 5 and to bring greater transparency in cross-national transactions, Forms 34C and 34D (the forms in India for advance rulings) need to be modified so that certain information—such as the name, address, and country of residence of a non-resident's immediate parent company or ultimate parent company—is captured at the application stage. The Finance Act, 2017 amended the definition of the term "applicant" for the purpose of advance rulings under the Income-tax Act, 1961. However, no consequential amendments were made in Rule 44E of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (that is, the rules relating to application for obtaining an advance ruling) and the applicable forms to bring them in harmony with the relevant amendment to the tax law. Accordingly, the Central Board of Direct Taxes issued a draft notification proposing amendments to Rule 44E and to Forms 34C, 34D and 34DA.

....It is stories like this that lead me to believe we have a human rights problem in the United States. OK guys, joke is over, bring back the 4th Amendment.
April 25, 2008- A Chicago man who was in critical condition for five days after police used a Taser to subdue him outside an Ohio bar died Thursday evening.
Kevin Piskura, 24, was pronounced dead at 4:17 p.m. Chicago time of injuries suffered when police in Oxford, Ohio, fired the stun gun at him early Saturday morning.
At the Cincinnati hospital where he was transferred, Piskura was surrounded by friends and family who had been keeping a vigil.
Police said Piskura was fighting with an officer and ignored warnings to stop. A 2006 graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Piskura grew up in Ohio. He moved to Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood after graduation.
In a statement released through the hospital, the Piskura family said they were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and thanked medical staff for their efforts. They asked for privacy and patience as the incident is investigated, "lest tragedy lead to more tragedy."
"No one feels this loss more deeply than we do; however, we still request that people refrain from rash judgment and wait until the independent investigation of this event is complete," the statement said.
Piskura's father, Charles, was a police officer in Bedford, Ohio, for nearly 30 years before retiring in 2000.
On Tuesday, police released a video in which someone can be heard yelling "Taser, Taser, Taser," before the gun's barbs hit Piskura in the chest. Piskura is seen rolling on the ground.
The officer who fired the Taser has been put on paid administrative leave.

The IRLPvAUX Auxillary Package is a perl script program and audio wave file library which works with the or
IRLPvCON package to provide addtional features on the IRLP Node. These features allow the node owner to setup DTMF commands on
the node to make it speak node information and recall perviously connected or call-waiting nodes.
By adding lines to the nodes "custom_decode" script the owner can add any or all of the additional features and have
them controlled by DTMF commands of their choosing.
The IRLPvAUX Package is compatable with EchoIRLP and will give the Callsign instead of a Node Number for EchoLink connection
Since there are many ways that IRLPvAUX can be implemented, it does not have an install script. It requires the owner to add
lines of code to the "custom_decode" script file to setup its operation. If you are not familar with the
"custom_decode" script and how it works you should review its operation before installing this package.
Note: The IRLPvAUX Package Requires the IRLPvCON Package to already be installed and working on the IRLP node.
Note: The IRLPvAUX_audio library requires about 600 KBytes of disk space.
Before Installing IRLPvAUX, a working IRLPvCON Package Should Be Installed On The IRLP Node. If this package is not installed
and working, install it before installing v.
Note: IRLPvAUX requires Perl and modules from the IRLPvCON package. If it is not installed IRLPvAUX Will Not Work.
Note: By downloading this package you are accepting the terms of the agreement at the end of this document.
To Download and Install IRLPvAUX 3.0 , Login as user root on your IRLP computer and then enter the following four commands:
cd /home/irlp
wget -nd -nc k6ib.com/downloads/irlpvaux-3.0.tar
tar -xvf irlpvaux-3.0.tar
rm irlpvaux-3.0.tar
This will create the perl function script file named:
And the wave file library in directory:
After installing the files you will need to setup the functions you want and the DTMF commands for them. This is described in the
next section.
Each IRLPvAUX function is added by inserting a line in the "custom_decode" script file which tests for the DTMF
command to use and if found calls the IRLPvAUX script with an argument number corresponding to the function to be performed.
Each line is the same except for the DTMF command to test for and the argument number of the desired function for that DTMF

Khan Lee (李崗) is interested in history, but not the kind in textbooks. He wants to know what Taiwan looked like before the Japanese and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) came, and how people ran businesses, went to school or trained an army. In 2008, the film director and producer came across a descendant of Wufeng's (霧峰) Lin (林) family — one of Taiwan's five great historic clans — and believed he had found everything he ever wanted to know.
"The family has experienced and survived a tumultuous chapter in modern history. Through it, we can see the changing relations between Taiwan and the rest of the world," he says.
Five years and more than NT$30 million later, Khan Lee and a top-notch team including five historians released Attabu (阿罩霧風雲). The documentary film, which hit the mainstream market earlier this month, follows the fascinating history of the Lin family, starting from the Qing Dynasty when its founding ancestors migrated to Taiwan. The clan subsequently took root and thrived in Greater Taichung's Wufeng, called Attabu in the language of Lowland Plains Indigenous Peoples (also known as the Pingpu Aborigines, 平埔族), who inhabited the region before they were killed, displaced or assimilated into Han Chinese society.
Seeking history
It's not surprising that the tale of the Lin clan — an immigrant family — strikes a chord with Khan Lee.
He belongs to the so-called Mainlander Second Generation (外省第二代): His father moved to Taiwan with the KMT troops from China after World War II.
"But I am not going to spend five years making a film about the Lee family in China. I was born and grew up in Taiwan. I want to love Taiwan, but I suffer from amnesia. I don't remember my history, my home. I need to know exactly what I love," Khan Lee, the film's producer, told the Taipei Times.
So Khan Lee studied the Lins.
He compares the clan with the Corleone family in Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy, in which the first-generation settlers "needed to kill and fight over resources in order to make a place for themselves in a hostile, foreign land."
The Lins, however, took their fight for survival to a professional level.
Noted for their military prowess, the militia family was recruited to help suppress the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864) against the ruling Qing Dynasty.
During the Sino-French War, the Lins were recruited again to Keelung, where they successfully stopped an invasion by the French army. In return, they were awarded titles by the imperial court and tremendous wealth in the form of a camphor monopoly, until the cession of Taiwan to Japan in 1895.
To Khan Lee, Wufeng's Lin family is the epitome of Taiwan, which is forever caught in between the world's great powers.
"The family always has to make choices — choices to side with the central government or regional forces, to become Japanese or Chinese, to side with Chinese nationalism or communism," he notes.
Filling the void
Khan Lee expects the film to face intense scrutiny, not just by clan descendants but also by people in academic and political circles. That's because Attabu deals with a controversial chapter of Taiwanese history that is often distorted — or altogether ignored — to serve different political interests, he says.
"The KMT doesn't mention the family because its members were killed during the White Terror era, while the DPP has no interest in the part of Taiwanese history when men wore queues," he adds. "Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist party makes television drama in which the inhabitants of Taiwan speak with a perfect Beijing accent and love their fatherland."

Written by: Mike McCafferty (Slice of SciFi Contributor)
Heroes is coming back for season 2.5 or 3.7, or… well, I honestly don't know what to call this season anymore, so let's just say it's coming back. Heroes is that girlfriend I know is bad for me, but I just can't seem to stay away. Every time the show does me wrong, I swear I'm never coming back, only to show up the next week hoping it'll treat me right. Sometimes it does (George Takei and Nichelle Nichols popping up) , and some times it doesn't (The Maya/Alejandro spring break road trip of boredom) . So as we reach a critical turn in the series, I offer unsolicited advice to Tim Kring and the rest of the producers on how to revive and refresh the series. It's in a list form — a literary device that needs more attention on the internet — so look over the list and see what you think.
1. Tone Down the Prophecies — Heroes stumbled into the so-ridiculous-it's-great phrase "Save the Cheerleader, Save the Worl". It became the catchphrase of the show and an internet meme. It got repeated, parodied and eventually driven into the ground. Everyone knew and the audience flocked to see if they could save her.
And they did, twice already. Future saved, now it's time to concentrate on the present.
Prophecies are usually about ordinary people who rise up to become extraordinary in times of peril. Superheroes are already extraordinary, they deal with the here and now. The bad guy has a plan, springs it upon our unsuspecting hero, it's up to them to use their super powers, their intelligence and their moral superiority to win the day. There's no need for a "One day a hero will arise." That day has already come and the hero has arisen and is now flying overhead.
On a more practical note, 22 episode arcs are just too much for audiences to follow these days. Miss one and you're Lost (Note capitalization), follow them all and you're disappointed that 22 hours of your life didn't payoff as well as you wanted to (Try college!). The writers suffers well, constantly trying to focus each episode on the last 15 minutes of the season while making it an entertaining hour of television.
The writers strike turned out to be a gift. A shorter season with a resolved story arc was a proof of concept that you could break each season into smaller chunks, and still maintain overall quality. Kring has stated that the next season will again be split into two arcs. A good start.
2. Lighten Up! — This is the thing that has always bugged me about the series. People who have the following powers:
- Flying
- Invulnerability
- Invisibility
- Telepathy
- Split personality that can kick ass
are constantly distraught, depressed and embarrassed that they have the aforementioned powers.
Uhhhh, what?
Seriously, who would not take a least 5 seconds in their life, upon learning they had an amazing new ability, to find a small room, close the door and do the frakin' Snoopy happy dance? You can fly? Go to Vegas! Take a bullet and spit it out? Hell ya! Telepathy? Come ON!
I don't need to belabor this point too much. The characters who DO actually enjoy their powers, Hiro and Sylar, are the most popular in the series. Good or evil, they have fun and share our sense of wonder at what they can do. Now that the world has been saved, please, let the heroes catch their breath and notice how special they are.
3. Better fights — ANY fights. For a show about superheroes, they sure talk a lot. The first season had the big let down fight with Sylar that lasted all of 30 seconds and was a draw at best. The following season(s?) again had people milling about, avoiding each other until the last possible minute and then doing everything they could not to use their powers. I'm sorry, but Heroes is firmly in the comic book genre and as such, needs a good old round of fisticuffs every once and a while. I'm not saying this becomes the WWF (World Wrestling Federation), replete with folding chairs, but please, let's not let it become the WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) and have everybody talk things out calmly and intellectually over a Diet Pepsi Max. As Hawkgirl once said, "Less talking, more hitting!"
4. "Heroes, Assemble!" — I'm getting a little tired of everyone sulking around, afraid of being caught by government agencies and shadowy organizations. I'm also losing patience with major characters never interacting with each other longer than a day or two. It's time for these incredibly powerful people to be incredibly smart and realize that there is strength in numbers.
I'm not talking about becoming the Avengers or the Justice League; I just want everyone to have each other on speed dial. It will open up more intriguing story lines and allow the leads to mingle without it being a coincidence or "fate". It's a natural progression that has been pushed too long.
5. Kill a major character — Networks hate this idea. See, when a show is a hit, they follow the mantra of "If it ain't broke…" . Series regular characters are locked in and untouchable not only because they had a significant fan base (presumably) following them, but more importantly because series regular actors have "Pay or Play" contracts. This means that they get paid for a certain amount of episodes per season (9, 13 or 22 episodes is the usual contract) whether they appear in them or not. This is a significant investment for the network and damned if they're gonna see it killed off by a capricious writer.
But there's an old (and non PC) saying in the writing world: "You gotta kill your babies", meaning that part of the script or story that you hold dearest may have to be cut for the greater health of the rest of the project. Offing a regular would be exactly the thing to stir the pot and let the audience know that anything can happen. J.J. Abrams is famous for doing this and it's almost always paid off.
Who's my pick? It's Claire: for a couple of reasons. First, she's the poster child (literally) for the series, the cheerleader that needed to be saved. Second, they saved her, thus tying up her character arc nicely. Finally, she's invulnerable. This makes her the least likely to be truly hurt and thus, the most shocking. Besides, being that this is comic book land, you can always bring her back.
Lastly, I say this. Heroes has always had the potential to be the great graphic novel/comic book live series that we've all waited for. Kring and NBC need to embrace that with open arms and minds and like Peter Petrelli, step off the ledge of "safe" into the open air of possibilities. If they can do that, we'll all be there to catch them.
'Cause that's what heroes do.

Workers' Compensation is a form of insurance that almost all employers are required to provide. Any injury or illness that arises out of and in the course of employment is generally covered. All cases are subject to the provisions of the Massachusetts Workers' Compensation statute, Mass. Gen Laws Chapter 152.
Any and all disputes concerning entitlements to benefits are resolved by the Department of Industrial Accidents which maintains offices in Boston, Lawrence, Fall River, Worcester and Springfield.
The types of benefits available are temporary total disability, temporary partial disability, permanent total disability, medical benefits, vocational rehabilitation, losses of bodily function and disfigurement as well as death benefits for injury related deaths.
The employee's exclusive remedy for work related injuries against the employer is under the workers' compensation statute. The worker is not permitted to bring claim or sue a fellow employee or the employer. Any employer guilty of serious, willful misconduct which causes injury may be responsible for additional benefits.
When you work with our workers' compensation attorneys, we will investigate whether there may be another responsible party for your injury against whom you might have a separate claim which could include compensation for pain and suffering. We will also integrate other potential sources of benefits including Social Security Disability, short or long term disablility or public employee retirement.
Your employer and the insurance company have lawyers and experts who represent them, not you. You need a lawyer to protect you and your job. One of our experienced workers' compensation lawyers can explain the process and your rights. We have won cases before the Department of Industrial Accidents, the Superior and Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court.
If you are injured on the job
- Immediately report the injury to your employer.
- Seek medical attention; you may chose your own doctor or medical provider or in some instances your employer may be entitled to direct you to a medical facility at least for initial evaluation and treatment.
- You have the right to seek the help of an experienced workers' compensation lawyer and most of the time legal fees; if any become the responsibilty of the workers' compensation insurance company and/or may be paid as a percentage (not to exceed 20%) of a lump sum settlement of the claim.
Our attorneys have decades of experience handling the simplest to the most complex of cases.

Thousands of mHealth applications are developed every year, but few of these spread or 'go viral'. Even clinical applications that provide health benefits and social value often linger after an initial pilot phase.
mHealth has been proposed to address inefficiencies in the current South African healthcare system, including home-based HIV testing and counseling (HTC) programs. Yet wide-scale adoption of mHealth has not occurred.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the acceptability and feasibility of mobile health (mHealth)/short message service (SMS) and community-based directly observed antiretroviral therapy (cDOT) as interventions to improve antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence for preventing mother-to-child human immunodeficien
INTRODUCTION: Médecins Sans Frontières supports human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected youth, aged 12-25 years, at a clinic in Khayelitsha, South Africa.
OBJECTIVE: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a major disease burden worldwide. Challenges include retaining patients in care and optimizing adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). One possible solution is using mobile phones as reminder tools.
Short message service (SMS) text messages have been used to remind and encourage patients to take ART in research studies. However, few studies have assessed the feasibility and acceptability of SMS in routine clinical practice.
OBJECTIVES: UmbiFlow™ is a mobile-connected Doppler device that utilises a continuous waveform to measure resistance in the umbilical artery.
INTRODUCTION: Few studies in developing nations have assessed the use of short messaging services (SMS) to identify psychological challenges in refugee populations.

Flights Brussels Rome
If you fly from Brussels to Rome after a week of work in Brussels or if you're a tourist in Rome to visit the Colosseum, the Roman Forum or the Vatican, rather than the city's many churches and squares and famous museums, with Traveleurope you can book your flight in a few minutes. It's simple and safe, you just need to compare flight prices from Brussels to Rome, including those of low cost airlines and find the cheapest airfare to fly from Brussels to Rome.
The direct flight takes about 2 hours. Ryanair offers direct low cost flights from Brussels to Rome at very affordable prices, as well as Brussels Airlines and Alitalia. Air France, Swiss, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines instead offer flights Brussels-Rome with stopovers, but always at affordable rates.
The flights Brussels-Rome cross most of Central Europe flying over Belgium, France, Austria, Germany, and northern Italy, to finally land at Rome Fiumicino or Ciampino airport, according to the choices of air carriers.
Ciampino airport is immediately northwest of Rome and is much closer to the city centre than Fiumicino - Leonardo da Vinci airport, which is 30 km away from central Rome even though the two areas are directly connected by an excellent subway line with trains that stop inside the airport.
If you are looking for a hotel in Rome, in the historical centre rather than the Parioli and the EUR districts or even at the airport, you can find it at the best price and conditions on Traveleurope with no advance payment. On Traveleurope and you can also rent a car at Rome airport or directly in the city centre.
Our search engine is able to detect all the airlines operating direct flights from Brussels to Rome thus showing all possible flights from Brussels to Rome. Sometimes some connections may seem quite weird, and probably it would be better for you to reach an airport by train or car to avoid an unnecessary stopover: but the choice is yours!

Administrative Structure
The Members' Council and the Board of Directors are a part of the CSB's administrative structure. The CSB initiated the establishment of the Berlin Stroke Alliance (BSA) in 2008 – a consortium of about 40 health care providers related to stroke in the Berlin area. Since February 2015, the BSA is a registred non-profit organization. This organization delegates a representative to the Board of Directors.
The Scientific Advisory Board, and a non-scientific advisory board – the Stroke Industry-Academia-Liaison Advisory Council – also have a strong impact on the CSB.

Celebrities ask press to accept charter regulation plan
John Cleese, Sir David Attenborough, JK Rowling, and Victoria Wood are among 200 performers, writers and academics calling on newspapers to agree to the Royal Charter on press regulation.
They have added their names to an advert from campaign group Hacked Off.
Its declaration says the charter, published a year ago, safeguards newspapers from political interference.
But the industry is setting up its own regulator. It says it fears the charter may allow outside control of the press.
Proposals to change the existing system of press regulation emerged following the phone-hacking affair and subsequent Leveson Inquiry into the ethics and practices of newspapers.
The Royal Charter was finally agreed by all three main political parties last October. It follows many of the recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry and proposes the Press Complaints Commission be replaced by a regulator with greater powers.
The tycoon Sir Richard Branson; actors Peter Capaldi, Michael Palin and Stephen Fry; comedians Rory Bremner and Miranda Hart; Professor Richard Dawkins; writer Salman Rushdie; film director Danny Boyle; playwrights Sir David Hare and Sir Tom Stoppard, and the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams are among the other signatories to the advertisement backing the charter.
'Nothing to lose'
It appears in several newspapers and magazines and says a "free press is a cornerstone of democracy.
"It has nothing to lose, and can only be enhanced, by acknowledging unethical practice in its midst and acting firmly to ensure it is not repeated."
The declaration signed by the celebrities adds that "editors and journalists will rise in public esteem when they accept a form of self-regulation that is independently audited on the lines recommended by Lord Justice Leveson.
"It is our view that this Charter safeguards the press from political interference while also giving vital protection to the vulnerable."
Hacked Off has carried out a high-profile campaign, led by actors Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan, to reform the press in the wake of the Leveson report.
The group, which says it relies on donations from supporters for its funding, has been pressing for the Royal Charter to be adopted.
Meanwhile, a new regulatory body, called the Independent Press Standards Organisation, is being set up by most of the national newspapers.
It will have similar powers of imposing fines on newspapers for breaches of a standards code to those being proposed by the Royal Charter.
'Stand with victims'
But it has been criticised by groups such as the Media Standards Trust for not being sufficiently independent of the big newspaper groups.
However, the BBC's media correspondent David Sillito says the newspapers are unlikely to agree to any oversight by the committee proposed by the Royal Charter that seeks to ensure the standards laid out in the Leveson Report.
Gerry McCann, father of missing Madeleine McCann, has been one of Hacked Off's most prominent supporters.
Mr McCann said it was "not a surprise" that so many public figures had put their names to the campaign.
He went on: "But it is very gratifying that they are prepared to stand publicly with the victims of press abuse and call on the newspapers to comply with the Royal Charter."

The Effectiveness of the Law Practice
The law is a very large aspect in our lives and works in ensuring that a society and its people live accordingly. The main aim of laws and law enforcement is to regulate the behavior and actions of people as they stay together. In regard to the type of law that you practice, the expected job requirements and description will greatly vary since one branch of law is totally different from another. The law is very useful in keeping us together in peace and regard for one another.
Depending on the country that you are in, the law production and assessment will be useful in driving the country in question. Regardless of the fact that countries may be independent and different, there is need to acknowledge and affirm the existence of conventional and unwritten laws. The legal framework set by a particular country tends to go hand in hand with the constitution of a given nation. It is important to note that a person is entitled to be shielded by the law and also diligently adhere to the legal requirements of the state.
Lawyers are the persons who have studied and gone through the legal studies and are knowledgeable in the legal matters or rather the legal field. The people who have their career or rather profession in the law sector are attorneys and lawyers. Depending on the field that you have studied for, you are supposed to carry yourself accordingly observing and adhering to the legal code of conduct. In each and every aspect of life, it is important to note that there is a law feature that lies within.
In the case of disputes over crime, medical field and accidents, most people involved usually turn to lawyers and attorneys for help in cases. The lawyers are the only persons who are legally allowed to stand in for you in a court f law or trial in your case. The most common type of law practiced and seen in courts is personal injury and employment law.
Basically, in each and every field that you are as a profession or career it is important that you note and work within the laws. It is important to note that the law aspect exists in our lives in an all-round format. It is important that we follow and adhere to the rules and regulations set up in our countries and designated living spaces. In the case of all our issues, it is important that you know and understand the laws governing your place as well as the unwritten and conscious laws.

A rolling of eyes and Gallic shrugs worthy of any Frenchman. That was the response on the ground in Davos as the news of Socgen's trading loss and sub-prime writedown unfolded.
The CEOs here are beyond surprise, there is instead a mood of resignation at the World Economic Forum that this is just the latest in what is expected to be a year of further writedown announcements.
And now there are other questions being asked, in the light of ECB chief Trichet's reluctance to signal imminent rate cuts. Does he now have to respond? Is there a case for a confidence building quarter point cut that would demonstrate the bank is on top of events?
The news from the markets has kept the participants glued to CNBC and their blackberries. Everyone's net worth is riding up and down with the markets, and more than a few CEO's have expressed quiet frustration about how little connection they see between their share price and their profit growth.

You're walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and a little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, 'Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?' So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other's arms, tumbling this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?"
"Yeah. Really nice.
"That's how much I like you."

SACRAMENTO >> The day after Thanksgiving, 116 state parks will be free for the first 13,000 registrants, as part of the California Department of Parks and Recreation's "Green Friday" event.
Starting Wednesday, visitors can log on to greenfriday.org and register for a vehicle pass, which allows free entry for a carload of people.
A limited number of free passes are available for each park, so sign up early, said Linsey Fredenburg Humes, director of grassroots advocacy for the California State Parks Foundation, an event sponsor.
"We hope by offering free day passes, Californians will be inspired to visit a new state park," Fredenburg Humes said.
The Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest holidays of the year in state parks, said Gloria Sandoval, deputy director of public affairs for California State Parks.
In Santa Cruz County, 10 state parks are celebrating Green Friday: Big Basin Redwoods, Castle Rock, Henry Cowell Redwoods, Manresa State Beach, Natural Bridges State Beach, Seacliff State Beach, Sunset State Beach, the Forest of Nisene Marks and Wilder Ranch.
San Mateo and Santa Clara counties have seven state parks participating: Ano Nuevo, Butano, Half Moon Bay State Beach, Pomponio State Beach, Portola Redwoods, San Gregorio State Beach and Henry W. Coe.
Several of these parks will host Green Friday events, such as a mushroom observation walk and old-growth redwood hike at La Honda's Portola Redwoods State Park, and three-hour guided hikes at Los Gatos's Castle Rock State Park.
Boulder Creek's Big Basin Redwoods State Park will host 90-minute tours of its 0.6-mile Redwood Grove Loop, which is wheelchair- and stroller-friendly.
Coast redwoods are the tallest trees in the world, and Big Basin has two spectacularly large specimens, nicknamed "the Father Tree" and "the Mother Tree," said Susan Blake, a state park interpreter.
"The Father Tree" is approximately 1,400 years old, she said.
"At one point it was a tiny, tiny seedling no bigger than your fingernail," said Blake. "It's now one of the biggest trees around. It's survived grizzly bears stepping on it, loggers who were around at that time, fires (you can see that it's burned), windstorms, floods. The surviving capability of it is something to behold."
"The Mother Tree" has a hollow base, which interpreters call "a goose pen," since early settlers used to keep their livestock in there at night, said Blake.
Green Friday, paid for by private donations raised by the California State Parks Foundation and Save the Redwoods League, has doubled in size from 2015, its first year, said Sam Hodder, president/CEO of Save the Redwoods League.
"The goal of Green Friday is to establish a new holiday tradition by reconnecting California's families with the redwood forests and spectacular landscapes of our treasured state parks," Hodder said.
Green Friday
What: California State Parks are offering a limited number of free vehicle passes for 116 of its parks, valid Nov. 25, the day after Thanksgiving.
Details: Signup starts Wednesday at greenfriday.org.

Published at Friday, January 25th, 2019 - 05:42:09 AM. Living Room. By Adelisa Wolf.
Modern living room furniture would be absolutely incomplete without a pretty centre table. Do not opt for a huge and heavy wooden table; instead go for a small glass table, big enough to carry trays of food and drinks. Wooden coffee tables also make for great options but make sure you team them up with nice table runners as you don't want the food or snacks to damage your table. A Christmas table runner can add the much needed pop of colour. You can place a lovely vase in the centre of the table to give it a more sophisticated look.
The American Traditional style of furniture was influenced by English and French styles. With time it evolved into a unique American style. The traditional living room furniture includes styles such as the clean and simple lines of Shaker furniture, the simplicity of the Mission style and similar styles from artisans in the Southwest and all corners of the country. American traditional style is thus a blend of several styles and it takes the best that every different style has to offer.

Maasai Boma Visit
- Observe the Maasai's traditional way of life
- Tour of their boma
- See how they teach their children
- Observe their unique culture
- Watch the Maasai do their traditional welcome dance
We offer traditional Maasai safari holidays
Another of our most popular short tours is the Maasai tribe safari, which is based around a visit to a traditional Maasai Boma (dwelling). This tour is led by a local guide and you will be told about tribal customs and the methods in which they build their dwellings. The village we visit still preserves the traditional Maasai way of life and you will be enthralled by the truly wonderful and inspiring tales that these people will tell you about their history and way of life. You will also get a chance to learn how the Maasai women make their beautifully coloured and intricate jewellery. The money raised from the sale of their traditional jewellery goes directly back into the local community. In addition, when you join our Maasai Mara safaris you will be able to watch a traditional welcome dance – something truly special that is sure to become a lifelong memory.
Longer tours and walks can also be organised when you book a Maasai safari tour. These walks take place in the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Maasai's knowledge of nature and their unique link to this beautiful land will captivate you. Being up close and personal with nature while walking with a Maasai guide along the deeply spiritual trails their predecessors have trodden for hundreds and hundreds of years is an experience that will surely become the highlight of your visit to this magnificent country.
If you want to book a Maasai Boma safari in Africa, be sure to contact us here at SafariHQ, as we are the experts when it comes to professionally guided tours of the area!

The EU ban on battery cages for egg laying hens became mandatory in Ireland on January 1, 2012. The Irish Farmers Association (IFA) reported to the media that up to 100,000 birds would have to be slaughtered "early" as 10 farmers did not have the required cages to comply with new legislation: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/1230/1224309632394.html
Ms. Bernie Wright of The Alliance For Animal Rights (AFAR) approached IFA
Poultry Chairman, Mr. Alo Mohan, and offered 400 homes for the hens in order to
save them from slaughter. One of the homes would have taken 200 hens. Ms. Wright
also offered to match the payment the slaughterhouse would have made to the
farmer, thus not only reassuring them that the birds would have good homes, but
also ensuring that the farmers were not financially compromised by allowing the
birds their freedom. Unfortunately, although Mr. Mohan attempted to secure the
safe future of the birds by approaching the farmers with this offer, he got no
response. On the evening of January 4, 2012 Irish Television News announced that
most of the birds had been slaughtered:
On January 5, 2012 Ms. Wright and Mr. Mohan spoke on Shannonside radio (http://www.shannonside.ie/news-details.php?nid=6833). Mr. Mohan confirmed that 10% of the 80,000-90,000 hens had still not been killed. Ms. Wright repeated her offer of payment to the farmers in return for their release to 400 safe, lifelong homes. She said the farmers may not want to let the public see the poor condition of the birds but that the homes they would be going to are used to seeing battery hens in poor condition and are willing to take them.
It's an absolute disgrace that these birds have been deprived of their only chance of a life that would have afforded some degree of comfort, care, freedom, rights, pleasure and healing from their tortuous ordeal as battery-caged hens.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!

Hello everyone!
Zero Angel here and I am excited to tell you about what is on the horizon for WotA.
In the coming months, I will be releasing two e-novellas available on both the Kindle and the Nook. These will also be available to anyone that has an app that allows them to read Kindle and Nook books. The novellas will be priced competitively with other stories of similar length and quality on their sites.
May 2012 marks the release of Book I - The Throne of IIo in ebook format, again available for both the Kindle and the Nook. We are shooting for a simultaneous release for the print version as well, but we have been having some difficulty with our printer and are working to try to get the kinks out. Print versions will be available on-demand and to all pre-orders, but will probably not be available in stores because of the issues we have been working with.
Thank you!

For those who know me, it's no surprise that I can be found every Sunday afternoon in the fall with earbuds in listening to my beloved Arizona Cardinals. These same people also know that I have little problem with making well-researched pronouncements about what will happen in the future.
Well, I'll be the first to admit that I am going to go out on a bit of a limb. Perhaps by the time you read this, this prediction will have come true, or maybe not. Or maybe it is still yet to be determined. Well, anyway that it goes, I am staking my claim that Larry Fitzgerald has played his last home game for the Arizona Cardinals.
Of course, I hope I am wrong. But mired in a 3-11 season and having the bust maker on speed-dial in Canton, Larry has pretty much accomplished everything you hope to accomplish in a storied 15-year career in the National Football League.
Larry took the field of the first time on Sept. 12, 2004, in St. Louis against the Rams. He caught four passes from Josh McCown for 70 yards. Even back then, the tall, lanky receiver with his signature dreadlocks was destined for greatness. He was the favorite of head coach Dennis Green and the team scooped him up with the third pick of the NFL Draft.
And more than just an athlete that broke records, he became the face of the franchise. For those who are unfamiliar with the team's history, the Cardinals have been playing professional football longer than any other team. They started in 1898 and are a charter member of the league.
While the Cardinals were always a team that struggled, they had some flashes of success. In 1947, they won the NFL Championship with their "Million Dollar Backfield" with Elmer Angsman, Paul Christman, Pat Harder and future Hall of Famers, Marshall Goldberg and Charley Trippi. But after futile years in Chicago and then in St. Louis, the Cardinals arrived in Arizona in 1988 and were the league's most futile franchise.
And that's when I started to follow the team. I felt sorry for the Cardinals after move to the desert. With my fifth grade sensibilities, I felt that they were the new kid in school that just moved in. No one knew who they were and they were looking for new people to help them on their fresh start. At the time, I didn't have a team to follow and they had sharp uniforms. I was sold.
Their first 16 years in Phoenix were not good. They probably rivaled the Bengals as the worst team in the league. They had an older, out-of-touch owner, coaches that were in over their head and players that had little, if any, talent. Fans would get used to long losing streaks and hot fall afternoons at Sun Devil Stadium.
But things changed when Larry Fitzgerald came on the scene. His first season, the Cardinals only went 6-10. But in five short years, he would take the team to a place even the most diehard fans wouldn't think possible. In 2008, the Cardinals actually played in the Super Bowl.
And through all the ups and all the downs, one constant has been there for the Cardinals and it's been Larry, his long dreadlocks and his signature smile leading the way. And more than just an amazing athlete, he is an amazing man.
He's a known commodity in the Phoenix community as one of the true good guys who gives back to the community. His philanthropic efforts to the community's children are well-known and he is well-respected by his teammates and even his competitors.
While there is a chance he comes back next year, it's doubtful. And I kind of hope he doesn't. I hope after the last game of year, he gets behind the podium and says he's had a great career, but it's time to move on. Never one to make a big deal of himself, that's the way he would want it. He realizes that his job is to catch balls, throw blocks and do his job.
Larry, I hope to see you in Canton here in about five years.
William "Bill" Lutz is executive director of The New Path Inc. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PKB produces their
aerospace bearings
to meet every ABEC tolerance as defined by the American Bearing Manufacturers Association. These ABEC tolerances are standard grades of precision with established tolerances for size and geometric accuracy.
These standards are known as ABEC classes as set by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee of the American Bearing Manufacturer's Association (ABMA). These standards are also accepted by (ANSI) American National Standards Institute and by international agreement for the standards developed by (ISO) International Organization of Standardization.
The ABEC scale is a system of rating the manufacturing tolerance of precision bearings. The system was developed by the Annular Bearing Engineering Council (ABEC), a division of the American Bearing Manufacturers' Association ABMA).
Bearings rated under the ABEC systems are typically called "precision bearings", with a rating or class from 1 to 9. ABEC 1 meets a looser tolerance and ABEC 9 meets high precision tight bearing tolerances.
ABEC class is not to be confused with radial play, which is discussed under that section of our website. They are also able to meet all
domestic manufacturing requirements for application relating to military and defense contracts.
