Slovakia Country Report
Executive Summary
Operational Outlook
Slovakia's favourable geographic location and low-cost labour are attractive for FDI. Strikes are rare; wage negotiations are the main reason for industrial action in privately owned companies, primarily in the automotive sector. However, elevated corruption and administrative red tape, alongside incomplete infrastructure and lack of skilled labour, hamper Slovakia's regional competitiveness. Corruption allegations affect all echelons of public administration. Public procurement and allocation of EU subsidies are particularly vulnerable. The new centre-right government has a strong mandate to address this problem and reforms are likely in several sectors, including judiciary and state procurement.
Although part of NATO, Slovakia generally keeps a low international profile, making it an unlikely target for terrorist attacks staged by Islamist militant groups. However, if attacks were launched, the most likely target would be government and parliament premises, embassies, public transport and large shopping centres in the capital, Bratislava, and Košice. The foremost risk to property or personnel stems from the protests organised by extreme-right and activist groups (e.g., environmentalists) as well as organised crime activities. However, the level of organised crime has reduced dramatically over the past decade, with several high-profile members of criminal groups now imprisoned or awaiting trial.
Crime rates have been falling since Slovakia attained independence in 1993. According to the latest Eurostat figures published in 2018, 6.2% of Slovakia's inhabitants reported crime or violence. The decline in criminal activity was recorded notably in theft, economic crime, and violent crimes. Nonetheless, extremism is rising: the police recorded 92 violent crimes with racially motivated context in the first half of 2018. In May 2019, a perpetrator was jailed for six years for a racially motivated attack, which resulted in the death of a Filipino national. In terms of crime overall, the Bratislava district remains the most affected.
War Risks
The risk of interstate war between Slovakia and any other country is low. The country is part of the EU, NATO, and the regional Visegrad Four (V4) group, which means that any potential conflicts are more likely to be solved through diplomatic channels rather than military conflict. Although some bilateral issues exist (such as the nuclear power issue with Austria and the issue of the treatment of ethnic minorities with Hungary), these are highly unlikely to escalate into an armed conflict. Slovakia has a sizeable Hungarian ethnic minority (around 10% of the population). However, the risk of civil war is highly improbable.
Health Risk
Vaccinations required to enter the country
No vaccinations are required to enter the country.
Routine Vaccinations
Hepatitis A: A vaccine is available for anyone over one year of age. The vaccine may not be effective for certain people, e.g. those born before 1945 and who lived as a child in a developing country and/or have a past history of jaundice (icterus). These people can instead get a shot of immune globulin (IG) to boost their immunity against the disease.
Hepatitis B: A vaccine is available for children at least two months old.
Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio: A booster shot should be administered if necessary (once every ten years).
Other Vaccinations
Tick-Borne Encephalitis: For stays in rural zones and for hiking enthusiasts (for children over the age of one).
For Children: All standard childhood immunizations should be up-to-date. In the case of a long stay, the BCG vaccine is recommended for children over one month and the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine for children over nine months.
Natural Risks
The country often suffers from summer floods following heavy rain. In 1998, 2002, 2006, and in 2013, the country experienced severe flooding that left dozens dead.
Between November and March, important snowfalls can isolate some parts of the country (roads and rails cut, electricity outages, etc.).
Despite the small number of highways, the motorway is generally well developed. However secondary and peri-urban roads may be in bad condition (deformed pavement, pothole, indication failure, etc.).
Roads in remote areas are often poorly maintained and can be dangerous. Extreme vigilance is advised at night due to the lack of proper street lighting. Horse-drawn carts, agricultural vehicles, cyclists, and vehicles without taillights or reflectors are common. Moreover, drivers can be very aggressive.
Vehicles are required to be fitted with snow tires from November 1 until May 1. Dipped-beam headlamps are required to be turned on during both the day and night. It is necessary for drivers to display a sticker on a vehicle windshield, authorizing the circulation on highways and national roads, otherwise punishable by fine. This sticker, which has a limited period, is available at border posts, post offices and at some gas stations. Driving under influence is strictly forbidden.
Travelers should note that few domestic flights are operated in Slovakia.
Trains are slow but the railway network is dense and in a good state.
It should also be noted that public transportation (tramways, bus and trolley bus in Bratislava) is reliable and well-developed.
Taxis are usually reliable and inexpensive. It is advised to order a taxi ahead. Riders should check the meter and ask for a price estimate before using the taxi. It is recommended not to use informal taxi companies.
Practical Information
Slovakia has a continental climate. The hottest and driest regions are the southern and eastern plains. The coldest month is January (-2°C average) and the hottest are July and August (21°C average). The period from May to September is generally quite sunny, despite periodic thunderstorms.

inklusiv: Young People with Mental Disorders and Vocational Training
Integration of young people with mental disorders in the labour market
In Switzerland, nearly one out of six young persons (16%) has no occupational solution after completing compulsory education. Various transitional options and interim solutions have been created that can help with the schooling and social deficits and help young people look for an apprenticeship. Young people who have found no option after completing compulsory education more frequently have mental impairments and disorders than young people who begin an apprenticeship or go on to upper secondary schooling (Sabatella & von Wyl, 2014). This may be because not having a training place/apprenticeship causes psychological stress. But often it is also that many young people do not find an apprenticeship precisely because of a mental disorder.
In these cases, early intervention is important, as studies have shown that the course of an illness can be positively influenced if it is treated early and without delay (Stein et al., 2003). Through this, the young people's further development is not impaired, and their occupational and personal future prospects remain good. In contrast, it has been found that the longer the delay before treating a mental disorder, the greater the risk that it will become chronic.
A ZHAW psychotherapist will join the team of the work integration programme "Lifetime Health", with the aim to improve the integration of young people with mental disorders into the labour market. In the study, all of the young people in the programme will receive the intervention, always provided that they are participating in the study voluntarily. We anticipate that approximately 60 young people will participate in the study and thus in the intervention. The group size for the group module will be limited to max. 8 participants. If the number of participants exceeds this limit, 2 groups will be formed. Using selected indicators, resulting changes will be measured at three measurement time points (entering the programme entry, leaving the programme, 6 months after leaving the programme).
The research project will be funded by the Gebert Rüf Stiftung under its BREF programme.

Good evening, a week ago I got a chance to see the film adaptation of the J.G. Ballard's 1975 novel 'High-Rise', directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Tom Hiddleston; an advance preview showing in Sheffield, followed by a Q&A with the director. The screen play was written by Amy Jump.
If you've read the book, you'll know the plot. Dr Robert Laing moves in to a brand new flat in a forty story tower block. Eventually tensions between lower floor residents and the residents of the upper floors turns the block in to a war zone as everyone goes slowly mad.
I loved the book.
I love the film too. There were changes but they didn't take away from the overall plot. The score, and use of specific songs in different arrangements all the way through the film to suggest continuity from party to party as the residents go quickly mad. The frenetic pace and amazing sets really add to the story. The acting was excellent and actors perfect in their roles.
I was especially pleased that they included the barbecued Alsation scene.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery Recovery Timeline
Have you undergone or are you considering undergoing gastric sleeve surgery? Here we completely cover the gastric sleeve surgery recovery timeline and process.
Every surgical procedure is unique in its recovery expectations and requirements. The gastric sleeve recovery time, process, and timeline all depends on how the patient's body reacts to the new sleeved stomach.
When you are undergoing a serious surgery that drastically impacts your digestive ability and your nutrition, following all directions is imperative for your recovery and ongoing health. You must take all gastric sleeve surgery recovery guidelines set forth by your surgeon and physician seriously.
Before Gastric Sleeve Surgery [Pre-Op]
1. Make dietary changes
The dietary changes that occur as a result of the gastric sleeve procedure can be intense. The best way to prepare is to make the necessary dietary changes ahead of time and gradually. Most physicians are going to recommend that patients switch to a liquids-only diet two weeks before the surgery, view our pre-op diet for gastric sleeve.
2. Smoking cessation
Anyone who is currently smoking will be advised to cease as early as a month before the actual surgery date. The reason for this is because it will reduce the potential for surgery-related complications while speeding up the post-operative recovery time. Some surgeons will outright refuse to perform this type of surgery on a patient who refuses to quit smoking.
Recovery After Gastric Sleeve Surgery [Post-Op]
1. Expect some discomfort
Some pain and discomfort, as well as nausea, are going to occur after the surgery. During the first week following your surgery, you may need to take pain medication prescribed by your physician. There are a couple of different types of pain that may occur, including tenderness and pain around the site of the incision, and tenderness in the stomach because you will be getting fuller faster.
2. Understand and avoid dumping syndrome
Dumping syndrome occurs when food empties into your small intestine more quickly than it should. This can cause shakiness, diarrhea, and nausea. It can also make it possible for the body to lack proper nutrition because the nutrients in the food are not absorbed properly.
As such, you must follow proper post-op diet that your physician sets for you to the letter, especially in the first few weeks of recovery after the procedure. You can begin to add solid foods to the diet over time, but you need to grow accustomed to chewing thoroughly, and to stop at the first signs of fullness. It can take some time to get used to eating much less than you did before.
3. Educate yourself on the entire recovery process
What you can and should expect will change from day-to-day. The first day will be the most difficult day and the day where the diet is the strictest because you can only have clear liquids while you recover. Many patients feel more pain between days three and six. The surgeon will give you a particular diet in which you are to follow to make sure that you are recovering as expected.
During the initial recovery, your diet will be primarily liquid, but then you will be able to add in increasingly solid foods until you move to complete solid foods. It is important to start small and works your way up as you learn which foods work well with your stomach and how much you can handle.
4. Activity will be slow for a while
This is not only because you will be recovering from an operation, but also because while you are adjusting to the new diet, you will feel tired and sluggish. You will have to grow accustomed to changes in your diets, the nutrients that your body absorbs, and also how your digestive system works before your energy is going to improve. Your physician is going to recommend how much activity you should be getting on a daily basis during the first few weeks of your recovery.
Gastric Sleeve Recovery Timeline – Day 1 thru 60
**Remember, this is our advice to our patients and may not be universal among all surgeons. Everybody is different and recovery time varies differently for everybody**
After surgery, patients generally spend 1 to 2 days recovering in the hospital. If your nervous or in pain, it's important to ask your doctor, surgeon, or nurse for medication to help you relax and relieve pain.
Surgery Day
Pain and discomfort are common after waking up from anesthesia. Patients will have between 1 and 5 incisions in the abdominal area. The first day you will most likely spend recovering in the hospital. It's critical to communicate directly with nurses and surgeon all your questions or concerns during your stay.
A drain is installed for 1-2 days in order to detect a leak. You may experience feelings of nausea after surgery.
Day 1 – What to Expect
24 hours after surgery, patients are able to shower. After the day of surgery, it's time to start the post-op diet. This usually includes clear liquids like broth, sugar-free drinks, soup, etc. Again, staying hydrated is critical.
- Activity should be limited to walking every hour.
- No driving, no sex, no climbing, no swimming and no lifting heavy objects (more than 25 lbs) for at least 2 – 4 weeks after surgery.
Day 2 thru 5 – Moving Forward
On day 2, it's time to finish your leak tests and get discharged from the hospital. Discomfort starts to disappear for most patients. Some bruising may occur. You must be active with walking and drinking 64 ounces of clear liquids every day.
Any type of eating and drinking is really hard because of the reduced stomach size from gastric sleeve surgery. It feels impossible for most patients to get enough fluids in, do your best to stay as hydrated as possible.
Days 5 thru 7 – Lifestyle Changes
At around day 5, it will be close to moving to phase 2 of the post-op diet. This is entirely dependent on your readiness, recovery, health, and nutritionist suggestion.
Some pain may still exist and bruising may be apparent, remember you are still at the beginning of the recovery process.
Days 8 thru 14 – Back to Work
Patients go back to work when they feel fully recovered and their doctor gives them the go-ahead. Going back to work can be as soon as 5 days and as late as 3 weeks depending on the level of activity required of your job duties.
For example, patients with a desk job can go back to work relatively quickly as opposed to a construction job that requires heavy lifting and activity levels.
Days 11 thru 20 – Diet and Exercise
You begin really seeing results as compliments start coming in from family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. Patients can expect to feel great both mentally and physically. This is the time to really start focusing on the post-op diet, finding new foods and recipes, and forming an exercise routine.
Days 21 thru 30 – Critical Moments
From here on out – you must be ready to form lifelong habits. This includes:
- Healthy eating habits
- Taking bariatric vitamins daily
- Having an exercise routine
- Caring for yourself
Days 31 thru 60 – Lifelong Goals
After one month post-op, weight loss continues to drop for nearly all patients and lifelong goals are more important than ever. Some important parts of 1 thru 2 months out includes:
- Feeling cold after gastric sleeve surgery
- Hair loss
- Feeling tired (usually a sign of needed nutrients or food because your stomach doesn't as hungry)
- Gas (don't trust a fart)
- Excess skin accumulation
Things to Remember with the Recovery Process
Your doctor will lay out guidelines for you during your gastric sleeve recovery process. It is important that you go over all of these guidelines before and after the surgery so that you make sure to follow them completely.
The first one and half years after surgery is a crucial time. It is a must to comply with post-op diet and take bariatric specific vitamins, such as Emerge Bariatrics, for long-term success.
Stomach Stretching – One of the most common questions we receive is whether the stomach will stretch postoperatively? Learn more about stomach stretching after gastric sleeve surgery.
If you have any additional questions regarding the gastric sleeve surgery recovery process, you may contact us at any time.
*Results and recovery time varies from patients to patient. Follow the advice of your primary care physician and/or bariatric surgeon.
How Gastric Sleeve Surgery Works
The gastric sleeve is a restrictive weight loss procedure (meaning it restricts the amount of food eaten by reducing stomach volume) which creates a fuller feeling sooner, limiting how much food the patient can eat at one time.
After removing part of the stomach, the entire gastric sleeve is only the size of a banana. It is important to consider gastric sleeve requirements before undergoing surgery. Planning ahead is an important part of making sure that recovery is as smooth as possible.
Here are some of the most important considerations when it comes to gastric sleeve recovery.
Gastric Sleeve Recovery Tips
- Walk, walk, walk – You need to get up and start walking! You may not feel like it, but it's important to walk around after surgery for quick recovery
- Sip, sip, sip – Drink water constantly, it's important to consume at least 64 ounces per day

I'm more interested in the way people practice the art of reinvention than their endless recollections of the Glory Days.
That's why I was so excited to see the premiere of Douglas and his Switchback Entertainment compadres' film, Snowman, at the Whistler Film Festival – Mike doesn't rest on his laurels, and he's not afraid to experiment. My favourite project of his, after the Embedded series, was a short film he made of the Lillooet Lake Rodeo.
Rodeo from Switchback Entertainment on Vimeo.
Snowman was not at all what a Salomon Freeski TV fan would expect – in fact, it was more in line with what a rodeo-goer would anticipate – a tale of working folk accustomed to falling off the horse and getting back on again.
After all these years of shooting pro athletes in exotic locations, Douglas hung his first feature length project on the story of his best friend from high school, an endearing weather geek who almost died in a helicopter crash in the biggest mountains imaginable. Kevin Fogolin isn't really leading man material, and the story doesn't follow a conventional heroic arc. That's why I appreciated it.
It was a deeply personal debut film about growing up far from snow, dreaming of a bigger life, and it relied on an ordinary guy – a reluctant, intensely private, kid from Campbell River.
For a few years, I was Pemberton's Community Reporter to CBC Radio's BC Almanac. I called Mark Forsythe every few months and told him about things that were happening around Pemberton.
Christmas Eve was Forsythe's final show, and that, or some combination of that, the churchbells ringing through downtown Pemberton, and my kid sleeping on my shoulder as I ran errands, had me misting up.
Forsythe, if you ever heard him handle the talkback lunchtime program he hosted, was a class act. He was never dismissive of the ordinary person, or their experience or opinion. And for a time there, calling in with community reports from Pemberton, I was part of a show that made people in small towns all across the province feel like our little stories mattered too.
These days, everyone with a twitter, medium, snapchat, and instagram account is a broadcaster, collecting followers and likes and churning out quippy content and filtered photos. Everyone is being exhorted to be their own brand, to be extraordinary.
I love listening to interviews with rockstars and celebrities and award-winning novelists, and I love watching Mark Abma or Kye Petersen or Ingrid Backstrom slay a line as much as the next person.
But walking out of the Snowman premiere, I thought, my world needs more stories like this… of regular folk, who love snow, and who realise, at some point in their lives, that sharing little moments on snow with your family might, ultimately, be the most important measure of things.
William Martin in the Parent's Tao Te Ching says, "do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives… Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand."
Or, perhaps, of a powder day.
"And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself."

|The South China Sea dispute and its economic implications
|Tan, Kimberley Zhao Xin
|DRNTU::Engineering::Maritime studies
|Issue Date:
|This paper will study on the economic implications brought about by the SCS dispute. This is because SCS sees more than $5 trillion worth of trade passing through, has a rich biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Any shift in balance of power in the politically sensitive region will have significant impacts on international trade, fishing rights and E&P activities. Thus, the study of economic implications will be broken down into three parts: trade routes, fishing rights and oil and gas industry. At present, trade routes are open and commercial vessels are free to access it. As China is ambitious in its island building campaigns and placing military equipment there, there is no certainty that China may keep them open after gaining control of the region. The closure is detrimental to international trade as fleets have to reroute, resulting in increased costs and upsetting tonnage demand and supply in the long run. Singapore is also likely to no longer be crowned as the region's oil hub port when tankers reroute and does not go through Straits of Malacca. Fishing has been a valuable resource to many surrounding coastal states, either as exports or as nutrients for their population. However, China is the main culprit for overfishing and depleting fishstocks, and even spreading this problem to other places when they poach in others' waters. Factors that contribute include use of destructive trawlers, heavy subsidies and militarising of fishing vessels by the government. Therefore, to alleviate the problem, a ban on trawlers can be introduced to preserve the natural ecosystems and subsidies reduction, demilitarising fishing vessels and imposing fishing restrictions help to reduce catch. The SCS' oil reserves are unable to feed the region, hence countries will increase oil imports in the future. As for the abundant gas reserves, the costly gas E&P projects will limit the domestic production, thereby forcing the countries to import as means of a viable option to fill the demand gap. Amongst the growing LNG trade region, Singapore can also make use of the chance to establish itself as the region's next gas hub port.

Excellent, but I did need to add additional seasonings to give it more heat. I used the Spicy V8 Juice, Crushed Red Pepper and Cumin. I also only used 1 envelope of ranch salad dressing (just concerned about sodium). Will definitely make again!
Apr 29, 2017
We enjoyed this for dinner tonight. Made half a recipe to fit in our slow cooker. Very easy to make, and has a wonderful flavor. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Feb 23, 2016
Awesome chili! We loved it. Added a little more V-8.
Jan 28, 2016
I wasn't sure about the seasoning packets but wow this is the best chili. I did change one thing because my husband doesn't like ground beef, i used ground lamb...amazing. thank you for the recipe. Even better next day.
Dec 24, 2015
Big hit with everyone
Sep 9, 2014
I used all the ingredients the recipe calls for, but made quite a few changes to the amounts & measurements. I only used 1 can of each of the beans, cut way back on the corn & used 4 cups of V8 juice. I also only used 1 packet of each of the seasonings. Loved it the way I made it!
Mar 31, 2014
the whole family loved it and voted this is the only chili I am to make from now on
Mar 29, 2014
Made it just as written and it was great! I will now try the spicy V8 and red pepper next time. This is a keeper.
Mar 27, 2014
Delicious! I added the Crushed Red Pepper flakes as suggested by another poster, and I put in about a teaspoon of ground cumin seed as well as about 1.5 teaspoons of dried cilantro.
Mar 19, 2014
Because of all the good ratings, I made this recipe today for lunch. Only made 1/4 recipe since I am cooking for 2 and didn't want a lot of leftovers if we didn't care for it. Wish I had just halved the recipe! This is fantastic! Unlike any chili we have ever eaten but it really is great. Had to make a special trip to the store for the corn chips as we don't keep that kind of thing on hand but so glad we made the effort. They really added that extra touch to a truly great and easy meal. Thank you so much!

Whistler Winter Activities With Kids
You may not think of #Canada as the most ideal spot for a winter vacation, but if you stay #active you can fight off the cold! We had a great time as a #family in Whistler, and there was tons to keep the kids entertained. If you're going up that way, here are the things kids would enjoy the most!
The Whistler kids ski program has been labeled as one of the best in the world and it probably is but with a price tag of about $170 for everything, we just couldn't justify spending that much money on a 5-year old for one day who would rather go snow tubing. We have spent a whole lot less for lessons in California and Utah, which we planned to do a few months later.
We did see the Whistler Kids ski area on the Blackcomb side and it was huge.
TreeTrek Tour in Whistler
Ziptrek Bear Tour in Whistler
Whistler offered discounts of up to 30% off for their snow school during Discover Whistler Days starting on their opening day and on select date ranges but is not available on holiday weekends and school breaks. Unfortunately, we were here during a the MLK weekend, so no discounts for us.
If your little ones have taken previous lessons and they need a bit of a practice before going on the lifts, there was a small magic carpet at the Blackcomb side. They could go up for free and go down on a little bunny slope. My daughter was perfectly content warming up here since it had been a few months since ski lessons.
We took the free shuttle bus to the Blackcomb side from the Whistler village which gave us a nice tour of the area. There was also a pedestrian path that connected the two villages. It was very scenic including a covered bridge, a frozen river and if you're lucky, a snowman! A great place for kids to explore and do a mini hike.
For discount pricing, get your lift tickets at various 7-11 stores in Vancouver. There were a few we passed on the Sea–to-Sky highway and also at the town of Squamish. My Washington state friends also bought discounted tickets at REI (will count towards dividends for REI members). There was also an EDGE card for Washington residents and Canadians.
A winter trip with kids won't be complete without some snow tubing and the best place to do it is at the Whistler Blackcomb Coca-Cola Tube Park. The resort has an 8-lane tubing park with varying difficulties, a fire pit and play area.

It was accessible by taking the Excalibur Blackcomb gondola from Whistler village (get off the first stop). Children under 12 must be accompanied by adults and the height restriction is 36" for the Mini Tube Zone.

Private ski Lesson in Whistler
A discount was available if you reserve and pre-book your tickets online at least 3 days before your desired date. There was a family discount of 10% if buying 4 tickets but one person has to be at least 19 years or older.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to go tubing here since it rained all day during our scheduled date. The tube park was on standby since it was raining and made for some very slick conditions. They do have some flexible hours and were open until 8 PM.
Another cool thing was the TreeTrek tour. This adventure high above the trees will surely be a memorable one. This was offered by Ziptrek Ecotours for adults and kids. Infants are permitted if carried in backpacks. Zip Trek also offered other types of tour adventures but cost a little bit more and have more age and weight restrictions.
Private ski Lesson in Whistler
Ziptrek Bear Tour in Whistler
This wasn't open yet during the weekend we were here but sure looked like a great adventure for the whole family. We would love to do this on our return trip.
For some indoor winter fun, there was an Ice skating rink at Meadow Park Sports Centre Arena which was a few miles from the resort. Skate rentals were available. If you don't have a car, it was accessible by Whistler's local transit. The facility also had pools for kids and adults to enjoy.
This multi-million dollar gondola connected the two mountains (Whistler & Blackcomb) in the resort that offered a unique view of the mountains. While it was free to ride with a purchased lift ticket, you could also ride this 11 minute, 4.4km/2.73 mile marvel by buying 1-day sightseeing tickets. My husband was the only one who got to go on this ride and he said the views were magnificient on the Peak 2 Peak Experience.

Free Whistler Winter Activities With Kids
Village Playground – I remembered hanging out with my toddler at this playground 6 years ago but they have completely renovated it and was a lot bigger. The centerpiece was a tree house for kids to explore. It was within a few feet from the marketplace and right behind the Olympic rings plaza. Kids could slide, swing and spin. My kids didn't want to leave this place despite the freezing cold.
Excalibur Blackcomb Gondola ride – After most of the lifts closed at 3PM, we went up this gondola and got off the first stop. There was a wide open area for snow play and snowball fights. It can also be taken all the way to the top of the mountain where there were some restaurants. You could make a roundtrip excursion out of it too. The kids loved the short ride and being higher than everyone else.
Fire & Ice Show – This free show occurs every Sunday night at 6:30 PM by the Whistler Village gondola with snowboarders and skiers doing some awesome stunts and ending with fireworks. It was a very family-friendly show and try to get there early to stand in the front of the fence as it got pretty crowded. They also gave away prizes from 7-11 gift certificates to zip line tickets. The six kids in our group ranging in age from 5-17 were so entertained they stayed in the front of the fenced area the whole time in the rain with no complaints whatsoever.
Olympic Rings – The Olympic Rings near the Market Village made for a great photo opportunity of the whole family. The kids (and adults) had a lot of fun climbing on it. It made for great monkey bars for kids although the Olympic sponsors would probably be horrified at that thought. This was a very popular spot for visitors even at night.
Free Mountain Orientation Tours – If someone in your group is an intermediate or expert skier or snowboarder, the resort offered free orientation tours daily meeting at 11:15 AM at the Guest Satisfaction Centre at the Alpine Lightboard (top of the Whistler Village Gondola). The Blackcomb Orientation Tour & Blackcomb Glacier Tour meets at the Guest Satisfaction Centre (top of the Solar Coaster Express). What a great way to explore the resort!
* Dog sledding, sleigh rides, and snowcat tours are a bit costly (think at least $100 per person) but may be worth it for a great experience and for those with bigger vacation budgets.

"God's light is real. It is available to all! It gives life to all things. It has the power to soften the sting of the deepest wound. It can be a healing balm for the loneliness and sickness of our souls. In the furrows of despair, it can plant the seeds of a brighter hope. It can enlighten the deepest valleys of sorrow. It can illuminate the path before us and lead us through the darkest night into the promise of a new dawn." Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Eurozone – M3 Money Supply
On Tuesday at GMT 8:00 a.m., the European Central Bank will release the year-over-year M3 money supply figure. It measures the changes in the total quantity of issues currency in the greater Europe. The M3 consists of all hard currency in circulation as well as the bank deposits, including in the central bank.
As the M3 money supply increases, it makes funds available for investments. However, an excess money supply can also lead to inflation and liquidity trap in the economy. Hence, the European Central Bank often adjust their interest rate policy based on the current M3 money supply situation. As a result, binary options traders consider the quantity of the M3 to act like a leading indicator of the future direction of the economy.
Last month, the Eurozone M3 money supply increased by 3.7%. This month, analysts are expecting it to increase by 3.9%.
United States – Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing PMI
On Friday, at GMT 2:00 p.m., the Institute for Supply Management released its manufacturing PMI figure for the United States. The ISM's US manufacturing PMI measures the level of a diffusion index based on a survey of 400 purchasing managers.
Purchasing managers in the United States are involved in the supply side of the economy. As most companies reduce their expenses and production based on their sales forecast, the survey of purchasing managers reveals the overall optimism of various companies in the country. Hence, binary options investors can easily figure out the sentiment regarding the economic condition in the country from the ISM manufacturing PMI readings.
Last month, the ISM manufacturing PMI for the United States came out at 57.3. The forecast for this month is currently set at 58.2.
EUR/USD Forecast
Since forming a large bearish outside bar (BEOB) on February 16, 2018, the EUR/USD fell by around 890 pips. However, after reaching near the 1.1660 level, it found a strong support. Currently, the EUR/USD is trading just above the support near the 1.1660 level and appearing to test the sharp downtrend line.
The Eurozone M3 Money Supply is set to increase from 3.7% to 3.9% over the last month. On the other hand, analysts are expecting the US ISM Manufacturing PMI to increase from 57.3 to 58.2. Although the Eurozone M3 Money Supply is a positive news for the Euro, the importance of the US ISM Manufacturing PMI is much greater. Therefore, we believe it would set a bearish fundamental outlook for the EUR/USD this week. Therefore, if the EUR/USD closes below the support near 1.1660, it would likely attract additional bearish momentum in the market.
Hence, US binary options traders should look out for trading opportunities below this major support level around 1.1660.
BTC/USD Forecast
Since breaking above the downtrend line in the middle of April, the BTC/USD mostly traded sideways. Over the last six weeks, the BTC/USD mostly traded within the narrow range of 6,450 and 11,800 levels. Currently, the BTC/USD appears to be bearish and heading towards the support around 6,450.
Last Friday, news broke that there is a security breach of the EDU token in Asia. As a result, the Singapore based Huobi exchange suspended all deposits and withdrawals of that token. This panicked cryptocurrency investors who then started selling the BTC/USD in other exchanges to make withdrawals. As a result, the BTC/USD turned bearish. If the effect of this security breach continues to negatively affect the cryptocurrencies, it will likely push the BTC/USD below the 6,450 level.
Hence, US bitcoin traders should look out for trading opportunities below this major support level around 6,450.

LEHIGHTON, Pa. -- A former county clerk in Carbon County is charged with theft after police say he stole nearly $45,000 from the county over a five-year period.
William McGinley served as clerk of courts for almost 30 years before abruptly retiring back in May.
McGinley 60, of Lehighton, admits he took the cash from the Carbon County Correctional Facility's fingerprint booking fees because of a gambling problem.
McGinley worked at the Carbon County courthouse as the clerk of courts for about 28 years.
Court papers indicate McGinley admits taking the cash from fingerprint booking fees and using it to gamble, though he told police he thought he had only taken $20,000.
"It started two years ago that the attorney general has been involved, so it's been ongoing, but until some other things appeared in the meantime. Soon after he retired is when we really discovered how bad things were there," said Carbon County Commissioner Wayne Nothstein.
The state attorney general's report showed that from 2013 to 2018, there were 169 times that fees were collected, but never deposited.
In 2016, the county controller noticed McGinley wasn't depositing jail fees. An audit showed that money was missing, and the state attorney general started looking into the office.
"It basically confirmed what the controller had said was missing," Comm. Nothstein said.
McGinley retired as clerk of courts back in May in the middle of his term.
Commissioner Nothstein took pictures of the clerk's office a few months ago showing years of backlog with piles of files throughout the office.
Employees inside the clerk of courts office have been trying to get the place back on track and county commissioners believe they are getting that job done.
"It's getting better. I was in earlier this week and they are getting there," Nothstein said.
McGinley was released after his arraignment without having to post bail. He's due back in court next month.

Mathematician and philosopher Alfred Whitehead famously said that…
"Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them."
If you think about it, the same is also true for marketing.
While we can't yet completely delegate our marketing efforts to an army of intelligent robots…
… we can reduce the amount of time we spend on each action.
That allows us, by extension, to increase the volume of our marketing output.
In this post, let's explore the mindset, processes and tools you can use to automate your marketing.
1. Begin by having the right mindset: Automated doesn't mean mindless!
The phrase "marketing automation" can seem rather impersonal.
It's easy to have have a mental picture of bots sending out tweets and emails in a merciless spammy way:
While bots tend to be spammy, your marketing automation doesn't have to be.
Marketing automation is really about reducing the amount of time and energy that you personally spend moving things around.
You still oversee the overall process, and you're still responsible for the outcome.
I like what Alyssa Rimmer had to say in HubSpot's Beginner's Guide To Marketing Automation. A couple of my favorite points:
- DON'T just automate your current process without revisiting your goals. Don't get excited and start implementing automations that don't actually help you achieve your goals. Goals first.
- DON'T just blast or broadcast general messages – you want your content to be targeted and specific. marketing automation, there is no need to send a general, broad message to your entire contact list that will end up getting deleted or marked as spam because it's not relevant.
There are some simple things you can do for yourself personally as an individual to reduce the amount of time you're spending on minor tasks.
2. Next, you want to have a working basic framework and processes.
In an earlier post, we talked about using the ICE prioritization framework. This is a 'primitive' yet powerful way to save time when making decisions.
Instead of agonizing over each particular task and what to do next, you simply systematically removes a lot of the guesswork by asking 3 simple questions:
- What is the potential Impact that a task will have?
- How Confident are you that it will work?
- What's the Ease of doing the task?
Ritika Puri wrote a solid post about this for BuzzStream. She talks about…
- Making a template while you make each new thing
- Recording and transcribing conversations
- Planning in advance (several months or quarters at a time)
- Delegating specifics to experts
- Avoiding piecemeal creation (AKA 'random acts of marketing')
- Joining communities that you can learn from
Let's move on to talking about specific tools and tactics you can use.
3. Monitoring Automation – have the information come to you
A big part about marketing is about knowing the territory that you're operating in.
Who's talking about your brand, your product, your content, your competitors, your niche?
You don't want to spend all your time personally scouring the web for all this information.
Why not have it come to you?
Here are some tools worth using:
Google Alerts – web alerts
The simplest free tool. Does what it says – emails you whenever your targeted phrases get mentioned anywhere on the web.
Mention – Social media and brand tracking
There's a 14 day free trial that's worth testing out.
Ahrefs – SEO backlink checker & competitor research tools
Where are your backlinks coming from? What sort of keywords should you be targeting? These are all questions that you can answer better by using a tool like Ahrefs.
4. Social media marketing automation – schedule posts and updates ahead of time
Buffer is a great tool for scheduling regular posts to social media.
Of course, you don't want to be stale and just post nothing but blogpost headlines and links.
Mix it up a little! If you're sharing links, post a screenshot, quote an interesting line.
You can also do more by using tools such as Zapier or IFTTT.
Ian Clearly has an extensive post about this: How to use IFTTT for Social Media Automation.
5. Email marketing automation – setup a series of flows that serve your customers
John McIntyre wrote a very extensive post about this for the Shopify blog: 7 Automated Email Campaigns That Win Customers and Keep Them Coming Back:
- Abandoned cart emails – for customers who haven't checked out yet
- Welcome emails – for people who've signed up for your mailing list
- Nurture emails – for educating potential customers about your product
- New customer emails – for onboarding customers who have just made their first purchase
- Repeat customer emails – to thank and reward customers for making repeat purchases
- Email receipts – they have the highest open rates (around 70%!)
- Re-engagement emails – to encourage past customers to buy again
Every ecommerce store should have a map of all of the above emails.
Think of each email as an employee, as someone having an interaction with your customers on your behalf.
You want the tone and voice of your brand to be represented.
Savvas Zortikis also wrote a great post on Kissmetrics with a list of MailChimp automation tactics. It's also worth checking out Outfunnel's email marketing automation guide.
6. Content marketing automation – get more people involved!
Coschedule is one of the tools you want to be looking at here. Their blog in particular has a lot of time-saving tips, and they have all sorts of resources you can look into.
Another interesting tool for you to look at is User.com. User allows you to gather information about your prospects and communicate with them via chatbots or automated emails and SMS. It's basically a full-stack marketing automation software for turning your visitors into customers.
Someday, we may reach a stage where we can have bots writing high-quality blogposts for us. (What a world that would be!)
In the meantime, the smart way to 'automate' your content marketing is to invite guest bloggers and to hire freelance writers to supplant your primary content.
There is a good way and a bad way to do this.
The bad way is to simply open up your blog to any and all writers who want to post on your site. I've seen it happen – the blog becomes incoherent
The good way is to have standards. You want to have a clear editorial direction:
- What is your blog about?
- Who is it for?
- What problem is it trying to solve?
You want to have a content calendar that has some sort of theme.

7. Referral marketing automation – systematically incentivize customer referrals
One of the best ways to automate your marketing is to have your happy customers do it on your behalf.
They're already primed to do it, but most of them tend to forget about it.
And one of the best ways to do that is with a referral program.
Referral programs allow you to…
- Incentivize existing customers for making referrals
- Get seen by the friends of your customers
- Give discounts to the friends of your customers
Learn more about how to run an ecommerce referral program with ReferralCandy.
Conclusion: Marketing automation is about of constantly proceduralizing whatever you can, and using tools to help you along.
The important thing is to always keep the big picture in mind. What are you goals? What are your targets? What are you trying to achieve?
If you're clear about that, you can always look for ways and tools to extract yourself from the process and save time.

When you've exhausted non-surgical pain relief options and imaging tests, such as CT scans and MRIs, reveal the source of your pain, Dr. Nguyen may recommend spinal fusion. This surgery can relieve pain symptoms related to:
You may also consider spinal fusion if you've had an infection or tumor that's compromised the discs and soft tissue of your back and spine. Spinal fusion is usually used to treat back pain that's related to movement.
Dr. Nguyen performs a spinal fusion technique known OLIF, or oblique lumbar interbody fusion. It requires smaller incisions than other methods of spinal fusion surgery.
He makes an incision in the side of your abdomen and inserts a small camera, which gives him computer guidance to move through soft tissue to reach the lumbar spine. He removes damaged vertebrae and discs and replaces them with a bone graft or another spacer to maintain the space between the bones. If necessary, Dr. Nguyen implants screws, rods, or plates to provide additional support for the fused vertebrae. He closes the incision with stitches and sends you to the recovery room.
An OLIF makes recovery easier because fewer muscles must be cut to access the lumbar vertebrae. This means less healing time and that you'll develop less scar tissue that impedes return to full function. When your muscle has been cut, they require a lot of therapy to resume full strength and function. The incision is relatively small, which further contributes to faster recovery. The side abdominal approach also gives Dr. Nguyen easier access to all the lumbar vertebrae.
It can take several months and up to a year to fully recover from spinal fusion. It takes some time for the pain to resolve and the bones to grow into a solid unit. Postoperative physical therapy and modifications to your daily activity—such as avoiding heavy lifting and twisting—are necessary parts of your rehabilitation. Fusion does take away some of your spinal flexibility but may help to resolve pain in the process.
If you have any questions regarding insurance providers, please call our office.
"I found Dr Nguyen from my medical provider. The office staff is very friendly and very professional."
"I've been a patient of Dr. Nguyen's for years. He's a good surgeon in my opinion he knows what he's doing."
"I could write pages on Duc Nguyen. He operated on my husband and treated me for broken bones. He is simply the BEST!!!"
If you have a simple orthopedic problem, sprain, or a broken bone, Dr. Nguyen will give you very good treatment. I would say that he is caring and competent.
