Bestway: Interim Report 2013
December 17, Bestway International Holdings Limited (HKEx:718) --
Since completion of the acquisitions of the Mongolia subsidiaries in December 2009, the operation of the Mongolian tungsten mines has remained stagnant. The Group has re-engaged Ms. Yang Lee (our former executive director who has extensive experience in the resources industry) as consultant and has engaged a Mongolian professional firm to prepare a feasibility study report and an environmental report for the Group to reconsider the overall operating strategy for the mining business in Mongolia.
The Company was informed by its Mongolian legal advisers on 21 August 2013 that certain state inspectors in Mongolia have conducted inspection over the tungsten mines of the Group in Mongolia and required the Mongolian subsidiaries of the Company to undertake backfilling and technical and biological reclamation of destroyed opencast mining sites area and have proper security fencing and guarding over the minerals deposits (the "Requests").
As advised by the Company's Mongolian legal advisers, the Requests were made in accordance with applicable laws of Mongolia and failure to comply with the Requests may result in a fine not more than Mongolian Tugriks MNT1,000,000 (approximately US$593.30) for each of the Requests and there is also a risk that the mining licences can be revoked by the Minerals Authority in case the Ministry of Environment made a conclusion that the Company has failed to fulfill its environment restoration obligation based on a recommendation of the local administrative body. The Company's Mongolian legal advisers recommended the Group to fulfill the Requests within 15 September 2013.
On 6 September 2013, the Company remitted funds to Mongolia for its subsidiaries to commence rehabilitation work in order to fulfill the Requests and has instructed the Mongolian legal advisers to communicate with local governments and state inspectors in that regard. The Board believes that the Company will comply with the Requests in good time to avoid any fine or adverse consequences

As at the report date, no further notification or advice from the Government of Mongolia concerning the Iron Mining Licence has been received by the Group.

During the year ended 31st March 2013, legal counsel of the Mongolian subsidiary has confirmed two mining rights of the Group are within the area designated, on a preliminary basis, as land where mineral exploration and mining are prohibited under the MPL, However, there has been no revocation of these licenses as at the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Sales Managers' Index: Mongolia - December 2013
Challenging seasonal conditions dampening economy
· Mongolia headline SMI suggests growth continues to slow
· Speed of price inflation slows but remains very high
· Despite this, markets are still expanding
The Mongolia Sales Managers' Index brings together the collective wisdom of Sales Managers throughout Mongolia to produce the earliest source of understanding about what's really happening in one of the most dynamic countries in the world.
The Headline Index is designed to reflect overall economic growth, bringing together the average movement of Confidence, Market Expansion, Product Sales, Prices Charged and the Staffing Indices. The Index reveals sustained growth in what is notionally the fastest growing economy in the world.
However a cooling trend continues to be evident. Panellists have cited seasonality in sales & construction, as well as the weak Tugrik as possible causes for economic cool down.
Business Confidence
Confidence among Sales Managers has been falling steadily since April. This suggests that a majority of Mongolian Sales Managers' believe business conditions will not improve in the coming months.
Panellists have revealed that the winter season is having a strong impact on all aspects of business and many construction projects have been paused.
The December reading represents a partial upturn, suggesting a feeling amongst panellists that the current decline in confidence may reverse in the coming months.
Market Growth
The Market Growth index reflects growth of the general marketplace in panellists' own industry sectors. Sales Managers' report that the overall speed and direction of growth remains modest in comparison to readings seen earlier in the year.
The index reading of 53.5 indicates an economy that is expanding, although the trend is congruent with the cooling of GDP growth.
Product Sales
The Product Sales Index reflects the sales of individual companies rather than the wider economy.
The Index has continued to decline, reaching 45.4 in December. Panellists have suggested that continuing problems with investment in the key mining sector, as well as challenging seasonal conditions means sales continue to decline.
Prices Charged
The Prices Charged Index fell slightly to 67.9 in December. Despite this, Sales Managers are still passing on large price increases to business and consumers.
Panellists suggest that decline in value of the Tugrik has stabilised, however importing costs remain prohibitive.
Staffing Levels
Managers are recruiting staff to meet new demand at a modest pace – and despite several months of falls in the growth of recruitment, the jobs market remains fluid.
The Staffing Levels Index reading is congruent with a growing economy. Despite short term problems, it is clear that managers expect strong GDP growth to continue.
World Economics Chief Executive Ed Jones commented:
"Sales Managers have told us that the weakened Tugrik appears to be stabilising against the US Dollar – despite this, price inflation remains high.
Overall Market Growth is still cooling. However the figures remain indicative of an expanding economic environment. Whereas Sales remain subdued, partly due to price inflation
Taken together, these data suggest Panelists are confident the worst of the price rises may be behind us."

Mongolia to Host World Economic Forum on East Asia in 2016
December 20 (news.mn) Foreign Affairs Minister of Mongolia, L.Bold and the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab had an official talk in Geneva on Monday December 16th, 2013. During the talks Foreign Affairs Minister L.Bold and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab exchanged views on wide range of issues ranging from Mongolia`s current economic situation to preparation works for the World Economic Forum in 2014, further cooperation with the organization.
A memorandum of understanding between the Government of Mongolia and the World Economic Forum was signed in January 2013. Since then WEF scenario team had worked in Mongolia conducting observation and survey on economic development of Mongolia. In September Ulaanbaatar hosted "Strategic Dialogue on the Future of Mongolia" roundtable discussion.
In the framework of annual meeting in Davos, a session on development based on natural resources in Mongolia, Myanmar and Qatar suggested executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab during the talks.
Foreign Affairs Minister L.Bold stressed about the importance of discussing development issues of resource rich countries at the World Economic Forum.
The World Economic Forum Strategic dialogue on Future of Mongolia and Mongolia meeting to introduce Mongolia to investors will be organized during the World Economic Forum in January 2014.
During the official talks Foreign Affairs Minister L.Bold and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab agreed to sign a MoU in January in order to organize World Economic Forum on East Asia in Mongolia in 2016.

Is Mongolia institutionally strong enough to manage its mineral resources and sovereign debt?
December 20 /business-mongolia.com/ Mongolian economic problems are often due to internal conflicts of political powers racing for populist promises by the expense of the nation's future. Back in 2008 elections, both MPP and DP talked about cash promises and share distributions to the whole population believing that its booming coal mine industry would generate enough to feast and transfer itself to a path of rapid economic development. In the times when technology and value added goods and services generate 10-1000 times more than the commodity itself, merely exporting a copper and gold through a barely functioning port and infrastructure is not enough.
Geopolitically, Mongolia served as a buffer state between China and Russia, currently economic and military superpowers. Now, it seems even our friendly two neighbours avoid dealing with Mongolia in economic and infrastructure projects. Besides the Trans-Siberian Railway China announced a Trans-Asian Railway network which excludes Mongolia. In terms of having our own foreign policy such as third neighbour or attracting more western investments in the country, we are definitely stubborn and try to take advantage of the current international order. While politically it makes sense, economically we are distancing ourselves from the regional economic integration (Mogi: politically makes sense? Oh please, if using the people's fears against them makes political sense then … Oh, wait! Yeah, yeah, I heard myself.). One example being the quarrel between politicians over gauge sizes of railways to be built (Russia and China have a different gauge sizes and currently, Mongolian railway system is aligned with Russian standard. However, it makes sense to build Chinese gauge size, because all the commodity export is toward China and there will be no wheel changing or re-loading time delays or costs.)
Also, in terms of air carrier its flag carrier state-owned MIAT failed to improve and upgrade itself despite the geographic advantages. For the last 3-4 years Mongolian government talked of new upgraded airport near the capital in order to increase air traffic and transit capabilities which hasn't been materialized yet. Mismanagement of MIAT is widely known to the population. However, it is one of the sources that few in the political sphere plunder upon. Just a few days ago, the cabinet decided to introduce a new international management team to improve its competency. Business-Mongolia Research Team assume the management team is likely to be hired from Lufthansa. Often, when the political elites invite a foreign agent to operate it puts pressure to share the assigned budget for a promise of non-interference.
Power has been centralized to the cabinet and SGK as we chose a parliamentary system 22 years ago. However, now it seems assumption of distributing power equally to the parts of the society and having equal opportunities have been fading away. Political elites and huge business entities wield both powers. State's meddling with business sector and its own attempt to manage and operate strategically important deposits will make the policy-makers wealthy and more keen to stay in power in order to extract economic benefits for themselves. Also, in order to stay in power it will weaken the state-institutions to serve for their interests and it is creating a term "political resource curse".
Few days ago, it became apparent that the new electronic traffic penalty system that cost MNT1.8 billion was 3-4 times greater than the actual cost of the devices. A bidder in the tender announced on facebook that his/her company offered a better device with a lower price. However, the bidding committee accepted cheaper and lower quality devices with a higher price. This is an example of how politicians announce a bid and make their own relatives or affiliated win the bid.
As Mongolian state-institutions start serving their elected politicians, will the state be able to manage its both politically and economically extractive institutions for the benefit of the people through sovereign debt and mineral exports when it cannot even be fair on merely a million dollar bid?
Public Discussion on State Policy on Mineral Sector Until 2025 to Be Held
Ulaanbaatar, December 20 /MONTSAME/ The Ministry of Mining Friday announced that it will hold a discussion called "Mineral sector until 2025".
According to D.Bat-Erdene, an advisor to the Mining Minister, the gathered are supposed to consider why foreign investments decreased 30%, what the social tendency toward the geological and mining sectors is, and how the Mining Ministry is to cooperate with professional associations.
Apart from this, the discussion will try to change negative views of both domestic and foreign companies towards the sector, will determine a state policy on mineral sector until 2025 to make it more attractive for the foreign and domestic investors.
New Fingerprint Devices Force Parliament to Postpone Sessions Due to Malfunction
December 20 /infomongolia.com/ Lately, the plenary session of the State Great Khural (Parliament) has been postponed occasionally due to insufficient attendance of the members of Parliament.
In order to resolve the situation, the State Structure's Standing Committee submitted a bill to introduce fingerprint devices, because to date one parliamentarian used to register on behalf of others, since the identification card reading machines were installed.
However, the bill was supposed to be discussed and approved at the plenary meeting, but Speaker of Parliament Z.Enkhbold decided to implement and put into service from the Thursday meeting, December 19, that caused much conflicts among Parliamentarians.
The main reason of controversies was incorrect function of these newly installed machines, for instance when 10 women parliamentarians were registered on the screen it showed 17 female members, besides opposition members (MPP) were disagree with such rush implementation. They said it breaches the Law on Parliamentary Bylaw and Regulation, some amendments and settlements to the law must be implied first.
After aroused disputes, MPP (Mongolian People's Party) parliamentarians left the meeting hall and asked for two-day break to consider the issue and let the devices to proceed under re-examination.
So today on December 20, Head of MPP Group in the Parliament S.Byambatsogt delivered a letter to Director of Central Intelligence Agency B.Ariunsan to inspect immediately the fingerprint devices' security.
President of Mongolia Appeals Nation to Unite Against Domestic Violence
December 20 /infomongolia.com/ By the initiation of the President of Mongolia Ts.Elbegdorj, "Let's Unite Against Violence" meeting was organized at the Citizen Hall of Presidential Office today on December 20, 2013.
At the meeting representatives from Ministry of Justice, National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia, National Police, Judge Council, General Prosecutor's Office, National Center Against Violence and hospitals and universities were present.

Over 80% of victims are underage girls and women, and mostly occurred in our families. Domestic violence exists in one third of households somehow and the World War III is happening in the family. If we cannot to protect our women, we cannot protect our country, if we cannot protect our citizens, we cannot protect our humanitarian society. To address our men, I would like to appeal 'Let's be real men and let's protect our women' and I believe the domestic violence in Mongolia would be ended with the year of 2013".
Also, President initiated to prepare more skilled personnel against domestic violence and stressed that it is necessary to open One Window Service in each Aimag and more in the capital city, which is currently counted for only 5 centers.

Ulaanbaatar, December 20 /MONTSAME/ The parliamentary Standing Committee on social policy, education, culture and sciences, together with several ministries ran an open hearing event "Poverty and Health" Tuesday.

Export peacekeeping training to Central and East Asia
Canada could use its Mongolia experience as a successful model for others.
By Jargalsaikhan MENDEE
December 19 (Embassy News) Canada, a co-creator of United Nations peacekeeping, has a substantial comparative advantage in transferring peacekeeping knowledge to Central and East Asian countries, including former communist states, as it has done for generations of peacekeepers from Africa, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe.
The transfer of peacekeeping knowledge is a unique Canadian addition to the Canada-United States Asia-Pacific Defense Policy Cooperation Framework that both countries' defence ministers signed in November.
Although the operational map of the Department of National Defence has not changed much since the end of the Cold War, formerly socialist Mongolia, unexpectedly, has appeared on the DND map. Canadian military assistance there has been repeatedly highlighted by political leaders of both nations, most recently by Governor General David Johnston during his state visit to Ulaanbaatar in October.
In March 2001, DND hosted four Mongolian delegates. Presentations at the Pearson Centre and the Peace Support Training Centre in Kingston, Ont. opened the eyes of Mongolian officials to peacekeeping.
It was knowledge offered at just the right moment when the Mongolian military was trying to explain its vision to political leaders and the public.
In 2003, Mongolian artillery trainers were stationed at the Canadian-run Camp Julien just outside Kabul. Here, the Mongolian military became familiar with the rules of engagement, organization, structure, equipment and even culture of Canadian forces serving in Afghanistan.
From 2006 on, Mongolian military personnel officially began participating in Canada's foreign military help initiative, the Military Training Assistance Program. It was recently renamed Military Training & Cooperation.
Since 2006, almost 100 Mongolian military members have participated in peacekeeping training courses, including those of the Pearson Centre, and other professional and language courses.
The foreign military help program provides an excellent environment for Mongolian military personnel to learn the complexity of contemporary peace support operations, and a venue for understanding Canadian culture and civil-military relations.
Mongolian forces now offer their unique experiences of coalition operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo as well as UN peacekeeping operations in Africa. The Canadian model and experience are more applicable than the US model for states like Mongolia.
Diplomacy of knowledge
This help has prompted Mongolian political and military leaders in encounters at regional events (like the Shangri-La Dialogue, and the Chiefs of Defense Conference) to request more slots in the Canadian military co-operation program, to organize a workshop on peacekeeping strategy and plans, and to invite Canadian forces to attend the annual Mongolian-hosted peacekeeping exercise Khaan Quest.
With support from the US and other NATO members, especially Germany and Canada, Mongolia is now one of the largest contributors for UN peacekeeping operations from Central and East Asia (with 1,200 to 1,500 deployments per year) and operates the only peacekeeping training centre with annual multinational and bilateral exercises. Canada has played an important role to help Mongolia overcome challenges in embarking on this new peacekeeping journey.
Governor General and Commander-in-Chief David Johnston has used the term "diplomacy of knowledge," which he says is "our ability and willingness to work together and share our learning across disciplines and borders." Even DND's limited engagements with Mongolia have proven Canada's ability to transfer knowledge to a newly found friend in Asia.
The Canadian defence attaché office in Beijing has administrated Canadian military training assistance for Mongolia and participation in multilateral exercises. The results were visible and applauded by the Mongolian military. And they didn't even require Canada to set up new defence attaché posts. The Canadian experience with the Mongolian military could be extended to other states in the region like Cambodia, China, Laos and Vietnam, some of which have communist-style political and defence structures but are open to new ideas.
Despite the increasing peacekeeping contribution of the People's Republic of China and Cambodia, both are encountering numerous challenges, including training (from individuals to contingents), organizing logistics of deployments, sustainment, and redeployment, dealing with international and host nations' laws and culture, and educating politicians, military personnel and the public.
Vietnam has declared its intention to participate in peacekeeping operations starting in 2014. Laos is attending all US-hosted events toward peacekeeping, while North Korea is not objecting to any UN peacekeeping operations. All Central Asian states, especially Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, are inclined to participate in peacekeeping operations.
Canada seems to be in a better position to disseminate its peacekeeping knowledge in Central and East Asia, because its contender, Australia, appears to be focused on Southeast Asia.
The peacekeeping knowledge transfer would enable countries like Mongolia to become active members of the international community and open more constructive political channels for Canada with these prospective friends. While Canada would not do the UN peacekeeping, Canada would help others become peacekeepers, not troublemakers.
The well-targeted, efficient peacekeeping knowledge of the Canadian Armed Forces will contribute to changing the mindsets of Asian military personnel and help them internalize the norms of professionalism, multilateralism, and most importantly help them become contributors to the global peacekeeping endeavour.
Jargalsaikhan Mendee is a political science PhD student and Institute of Asian Research fellow (2013-2014) at the University of British Columbia. He is a former Mongolian military officer involved in the development of peacekeeping capacities from 1999 until 2009.
Mongolian ambassador to Turkmenistan accredited
December 20 (TREND News Agency) Chairman of the Parliament of Turkmenistan Akja Nurberdieva received credentials of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Mongolia to Turkmenistan Badamdorj Batkhishig, Turkmen government said on Dec.20.
The diplomat conveyed the greetings and good wishes of the leadership of his country.
The message reads that "noting the importance of strengthening strong and mutually beneficial bilateral contacts, the envoy underlined the fact that, despite the geographical distance, the two nations share a desire for world peace and harmony, and it will undoubtedly serve as a reliable basis for the development of constructive intergovernmental cooperation ."
The diplomat was informed of the main directions of domestic and foreign policy of Turkmenistan, and became familiar with key aspects of the ongoing large-scale projects and programs of socio-economic development of the country.
The envoy was also provided information on the structure and activity of the Turkmen Parliament, its legislative work and international contacts. In this context, it was suggested establishing closer inter-parliamentary relations, according to the Turkmen government.

University Of California And Mongolian National University Embark On Solar Thermal Research Project
December 20 (Solar Industry Magazine) Mongolian National University (MNU) and the University of California (UC) have agreed to cooperate on high-temperature solar thermal technology research in Mongolia in 2014.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Mongolian Innovation and Technology Center at MNU will install a 100 kW non-tracking solar thermal array on its campus. The system, developed by Roland Winston, UC professor and solar director, will be installed, monitored and evaluated by MNU's engineering department.
"Given the design, these thermal solar arrays perform extremely well in hazy conditions so we're quite optimistic about our prospects," Winston says.
Similar designs of the non-commercial solar thermal system are operating at UC, Purdue University and the Gas Institute of Chicago.

Vermont Nurse Works With Mongolian Herders
December 19 (VPR) Sas Carey is a registered nurse and holistic healer in Middlebury. For the last 19 years she's been spending part of the year in Mongolia, working with nomadic herders on health care issues. In addition to teaching some basic health education (tooth-flossing, the importance of getting vitamin C to prevent scurvy), she has also worked to help local hospitals gain access to technology they need.
"It's so easy for us to look at them as 'ooh, those cute little people over there.' But that's not it at all. They have solar panels. They have satellite dishes and TVs. They're up on the fashion. They don't wear it, but they know. - Sas Carey"
Carey has also been documenting the lives of the people she spends time with. Traditional nomadic herding has declined precipitously in Mongolia as people move to the city, and Carey has been working to preserve some of the knowledge and culture of the traditional lifestyle.

Mongolia spends ₮426.5 million for gobi bear protection programs
December 22 (UB Post) This year, over 426.5 million MNT was spent for programs designed to protection of the endangered mazaalai (gobi bear). The programs were funded by governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as project organizers.
As part of the program, officials reported that two springs in Shar Khuls and Khushuut of the Great Gobi National Park were recovered, and two solar and wind powered automatic artesian wells were prepared at Myangan Tooroi and Baruun Shargad regions.
Furthermore, the program officials said that three ground-based generators were built which influence the climate to produce rain. Thanks to the generators, Great Gobi "A" Highly Protected Area experienced rain twice this year and the precipitation rate in the Segs Tsagaan Bogd region increased by five to ten milliliter.
This year, two gobi bears gave birth to twins, increasing their population by four. Gobi bear protectors said this is a very good news as only less than 30 gobi bears were left in the world.
Zoologists constantly debate on whether the gobi bear is an independent specie or a sub-specie of the common brown bear. The Mazaalai Genetics Research Center said it is focusing on the issue to classify the gobi bear and end the debates. The first research of the center proved that the gobi bear is genetically different from the brown bear that live in Altai, Khangai and Khentii mountain ranges of Mongolia.
Mongolian researchers are now jointly conducting a genetic analysis with international experts at the University of Idaho to find out whether the gobi bear is genetically different from the brown bears in Himalaya.

Like every person of colour living in the South Africa of the 1930s and 40s, Sekoto was subject to racial discrimination. Although he never joined a political party, this nonetheless shaped him into a firm anti-apartheid stalwart and a person highly sensitive to racial dynamics throughout his life. Sekoto first encountered racial bigotry as a young boy growing up at Wonderhoek, a farm in the Middelburg area, Mpumalanga. Incidents of racial abuse on the part of white farmers and the police against local blacks were common at the time. Sometimes these incidents led to the arrest of black locals by police officers. As Sekoto was later to recall, those arrested were compelled to walk in front of the policemen's horses, their hooves cutting into the prisoners' heels (Manganyi 1996: 9). Sekoto never forgot the incidents at Wonderhoek, which he described as "heart-breaking and exaggerated acts of hatred upon human beings" (Mangani 1996: 10) nor did he forget what he called "the evil-minded policemen on horseback" (Manganyi 1996: 10). While in exile, he drew extensively on his memories of South Africa for his painting, including those involving police brutality against black people. In all probability then, Policeman on a White Horse in the Fields, painted when Sekoto was middle-aged, is a work referring to his experience of law enforcement as a child at Wonderhoek.
Although he made a few works of an overt political nature in the 1970s and 80s, Sekoto was rarely the militant artist agitating against the iniquities of apartheid. So, in Policeman on a White Horse in the Fields, rather than a condemnatory image of police brutality, what we have is simply a roughly painted, abstracted representation of a policeman mounted on a horse. Merely hinting at the story informing the work - the figure carries a touch of menace - Sekoto leaves it up to us to complete the picture.

Stop parents and medical professionals from "transgender" conditioning children.
This petition had 565 supporters
A little over a month ago I learned that there is a 13 year old boy in my child's school who is "transitioning / transgender conditioning" from a boy to a girl.
I got online to see if there were any support groups out there against parents and medical professionals altering children's bodies by halting puberty through hormone treatments and eventually reconstructive surgery. To my disappointment, there were very few and the amount of people openly opposing this is almost nonexistent. I did however find thousands of groups cheering on transgender kids, their parents and the medical professionals.
That's when the reality set in. This was bigger than I had originally thought and it horrified me to see so many people encouraging the mutilation of children through a process called "transitioning". I live in a tiny little community out in the middle of nowhere so if it's here, it's everywhere and it's larger than I can even imagine.
I'm not a medical professional nor do I have a background in psychiatry, but I am a mom and as a mother I would never do anything to emotionally, mentally or physically harm my children.
As any parent knows, children are innocent, impressionable and lack the cognitive ability to make such life altering decisions at such a young age. Puberty is a vital part of our overall development and should never be interrupted or modified.
According to the American College of Pediatrics, children should be left alone and allowed to develop completely:
Gender dysphoria (GD) in children is a term used to describe a psychological condition in which a child experiences marked incongruence between his or her experienced gender and the gender associated with the child's biological sex. Twin studies demonstrate that GD is not an innate trait. Moreover, barring pre-pubertal affirmation and hormone intervention for GD, 80 percent to 95 percent of children with GD will accept the reality of their biological sex by late adolescence.
The treatment of GD in childhood with hormones effectively amounts to mass experimentation on, and sterilization of, youth who are cognitively incapable of providing informed consent. There is a serious ethical problem with allowing irreversible, life-changing procedures to be performed on minors who are too young to give valid consent themselves; adolescents cannot understand the magnitude of such decisions.

I created a page and group on facebook if you'd like more information:
I am appealing to everyone on the behalf of my children and the children around the world to please end this. It's not just an issue here in the United States, it's world wide and growing at an alarming rate.

The findings show that patients having planned surgery on Thursdays and Fridays have a 44% increased risk of death than if the procedure occurs at the start of the working week.
Researchers hypothesise that the higher mortality rates are because of poorer post-operative care in hospitals during the weekends when fewer clinical and nursing staff are around. The first 48 hours after surgery are deemed crucial since the patient's risk of infections and bleeding is higher during this period. Other possible explanations for these poor outcomes include the case-mix of patients, the scheduling of surgical procedures and workforce planning issues.
Although the overall death rate is low, these findings add more evidence to the argument to have round-the-clock NHS consultant care throughout the week.
Dr Tony Falconer, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) said,
"We have raised our concerns in the past about the need for a 24/7 service in the NHS and this is further evidence for this change.
"Doctors working in maternity services are used to long hours because birth is unpredictable and can happen at any time. However, issues arise when emergencies occur and access to diagnostic and other clinical services is limited.
"Women should have access to high quality healthcare on the NHS at any time of the day and night, across all days of the week.
"We are currently looking at ways to have more senior presence in the labour ward during the out-of-hours period so that we maintain safe, high quality O&G services throughout the week."

Multivitamins are best for every person as they can assist make up for a plethora of deficiencies that are not filled by our meals. But the same researchers who discovered the curcumin phyotosome have also developed green tea phytosome, which offers a a lot better absorbed kind of green tea extract, and would also ideally be in a multivitamin. To complicate matters, it really is extremely hard for a lay-person to know what they're getting in a multivitamin and to examine goods.
Multivitamin and mineral supplements had no important effect on cardiovascular illness or cataracts, except that combined beta-carotene, selenium, alpha-tocopherol, retinol, and zinc supplementation decreased the mortality price from stroke by 29%. When you have the answers to these concerns, you will be in a position to evaluate the claims of the different nutritional supplements that contend they are the leading vitamins for guys. Read the label of the distinct multivitamins accessible for males and see what kinds of supplements are incorporated.
Although over-consumption of certain vitamins or minerals can be hazardous, components are usually at such low doses in a multivitamin it is harder for them to be over-consumed and trigger damage. But on the other hand, there are numerous researches that say that arginine will most probably help guys with erectile dysfunction. In 2010, French researchers followed eight,000 volunteers who had taken either a multivitamin or a dummy placebo pill for six years.
In addition to being a great multivitamin it also contains amino acids, omega (3,six &9), chlorella, CoQ10, R-lipoic acid, digestive enzymes, probiotics, a fruit and vegetable mixture, etc. So a lot rhetoric – so small actual globe… Affordable supplements are wellness insurance coverage premiums against the danger of life as we know it. The very best enteric coated multivitamin I've identified is usually made by a modest company. Geofit Men Capsules are utilized particularly for strength, resistance, robustness, healthier heart and Diabetes. Guys and females over the age of 50 can also advantage from taking a multivitamin (ADA 2001).
A single a day multivitamin with all the necessary nutrients can assist your organs function better while also contributing to better metabolism. For most males, the bottom line on vitamins and men's overall health is this: If you eat a effectively-balanced diet, take a common multivitamin, and supplement with 1,000 IU of vitamin D each and every day, your nutrition needs must be covered. In our survey, the little subset of respondents (about 1-sixth) who ate five or much more daily servings of fruits and vegetables had greater prices of multivitamin use than much less healthful eaters.

Do you, or someone you know suffer from the severe and debilitating pain we often referred to as Fibromyalgia? Did you know your Physical Therapist is an excellent resource for treating your Fibromyalgia? While you might think most people who suffer from Fibromyalgia tend to be middle aged women, there is a growing population among men as well. As Physical Therapists, we have revolutionary techniques and ways to help you with your chronic pain at our disposal.
Doctors are unsure what causes Fibromyalgia, but they have found some links including: heredity factors, physical and emotional stresses, and illnesses. According to researchers at the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, "Current thinking centers around a theory called central sensitization. This theory states that people with Fibromyalgia have a lower threshold for pain because of increased sensitivity in the brain to pain signals." Simply put, as someone with Fibromyalgia, you are much more sensitive to pain.
Oftentimes, the symptoms you experience with Fibromyalgia, (intense aching, pain, stiffness and severe fatigue) will be eased with gentle activity, including appropriately graded exercises and stretching. By improving your overall strength, flexibility, and stamina your pain and fatigue will be remarkably decreased. As Physical Therapists, we specialize in treating chronic pain syndromes, and can also teach you about various pain relief options available, including laser therapy and using appropriate massage techniques.
There are no clear-cut objective tests for Fibromyalgia. Your doctor can not see it with special imaging (such as x-ray or MRI), nor with specific blood testing. It is a diagnosis given by your doctor strictly based upon the symptoms you present to your Physician. Basicly, there are several "pressure points" the physician will check for tenderness, and depending upon the area and severity, you might be diagnosed as having "Fibromyalgia".
With that diagnosis, some initial treatments physicians might prescribe for your pain would involve pain medications and muscle relaxers. Physicians might also prescribe various medicines to address the chronic depression and your over stimulated nerve endings. However, it is extremely important for you to take control of your body, and initiate treatments for strengthening and stretching, restoring you to your desired functional abilities.
– Light graded stretching will help decrease the stiffness and tightness of your muscles, leading to improved mobility and decreased pain.
– Gently graded aerobic exercising such as walking will improve the endurance of your heart and lungs, and lead to improved stamina for daily activities.
– Aquatic (water) exercising is wonderful for working with your Fibromyalgia as well. The warm water will help soothe the aches and pains of your joints, while the added buoyancy makes exercising easier.
– This increased activity level with lead your body into a more active metabolism, helping to flush the toxins out of your muscle, fascial, and connective tissues.
Two things you should be cautious of when working through your fibromyalgia. Excessive inactivity (being a couch potato) is truly the worst thing you can do, while the second worst thing to do is excessive activity. When beginning to increase your activity level, it is important to not over work yourself in the beginning. Try to restrain your desire to get up and run, but rather gently increase your exercise intensity, gradually building up your strength and endurance at reasonable levels. To accomplish this safely, it is important to work with your health care providers, including your family physician and your Physical Therapist.
Ask to speak with your Physical Therapist today if you have any chronic pain symptoms, or have been told you have Fibromyalgia. No matter what part of your body hurts, your Physical Therapist can help you unlock your inner healing potential through amazing and revolutionary techniques. Also, I would highly recommend working with a Physical Therapist who gives a 100% satisfaction or your money back guarantee.

Average Cost of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is the FDA-cleared nonsurgical body sculpting option. CoolSculpting freezes and kills fat cells allowing the body to absorb them naturally. CoolSculpting is a great way to target stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise are having trouble eliminating. The CoolSculpting process works by eliminating fat cells allowing the body to redistribute existing fat. If you are healthy, and within roughly 20 pounds of your target weight, CoolSculpting is a great option for you.
According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the national average for CoolSculpting per session is just under $1500. That number varies widely depending on the area being targeted. That is because the applicators being used vary in size. The larger the applicator, the larger the area, which is all relative to the cost of the session. Information from the CoolSCulpting official website summarizes the pricing by treatment plan. Typical personalized treatment plans range between $2,000 to $4,000 which depends on the number of areas treated as well as the number of treatments per area.

I know you have Folders and Smart Folders but can we please have tags to aid searching for a particular type of login?
So an example would be, tag all my art site logins, all my social media logins, etc etc. and then from that create Smart Folders.
Is this doable?
Hi @darkan9el,
1Password 4 for Mac already supports tags, and allows you to do exactly what you mentioned.
I take it you are talking about a different platform. Since this is in the Lounge area, I'm not sure which one. Please let me know!

My Portuguese mother (who has been in the U.S. 50 years now) has a love-hate relationship with pre-packaged American ready-made meals. It doesn't matter if the food is from 7-11 or Whole Foods, she tries but she just can't feel good about serving it.
Honestly, neither can I. But I'm okay with that.
My mother is not. So periodically while I was growing up, she would buy packaged meals for us but shake her head and complain the entire dinner that people ate this stuff but that it was disgusting and bizarre. The next day everything would go back to normal and we'd have actual food again.
The surprise for me here is she is still doing this.
My mother came home from Trader Joe's with two – count'em – TWO packets of something called "Polenta Vegetable Medley."
"Why'd you buy two?" I inquired.
"Oh, A., one is NOTHING! Look at this!" And she pinches the bag in half to show that "Trader Joe" actually is "Trader Screw the Consumer." "Your father would eat that in no time."
"You're not going to just serve that, are you?"
"Why not?"
Why not indeed. She puts the two air-heavy bags in the freezer.
About two days later, the bloom was off the rose. "I don't know what I was thinking. Your father said it looked weird."
"Don't worry, he'll eat whatever you put out." My dad is known for dumping yogurt on things and mixing up weird things that don't go together and making a weird goulash. Like yogurt, broccoli, and chunks of steak with potatoes and beets. MMMMM! And he had a beef with polenta medley?
"Don't talk about your father like that!!"
"Well…. you know he will…." It's not an insult, exactly, right, if he's proud of it.
"Oh, I should never have bought it. I'm not sure it's going to turn out right."
"I'm sure it's fine." Then we had a ten minute discussion about how much sodium was in it. Apparently, it was a freaking salt lick.
"How much sodium are you supposed to have, Mom?" I really should know this.
"I don't know, they just said your father should have less sodium." Well, if she doesn't know, and she's buying the food, I guess I'm off the hook.
"But how much is a lot?"
"Everything's a lot, how would I know?"
The entire time my mother was cooking it, one of the packages was sitting on the counter. She kept going back to it, musing "It just doesn't look like this. What did I buy?" Oh, and "Look at this! It's still a block of ice! What would happen if I wasn't here mashing it! Gosh, do people eat this every day?"
I'm having flashbacks.
So we sat down to dinner, as my mother is giggling like a schoolgirl.
"What?" I ask.
"The (HEEEEHHEEEHHEEE) Food! Look at this-" and she pokes the Medley with a fork.
It wasn't that bad. No worse than anything else at Trader Joe's. But my mom has paired it- get this- with pulled pork! And she has no idea pulled pork is supposed to be served in a bun.
"Where are the buns?"
"Buns?" She doesn't just say "Buns." She says "Buns" as if I asked her to wrap the pork in rotten human flesh. Like "BUUUUUNNNNSSS?!?!?!?!?!"
"For the pork."
"Why do you want buns?"
"That's what the picture shows on the box, Mom. It's served as a sandwich"
"I don't care. I do whatever I want." Except on the polenta. That needs to be a Kodak moment.
"It's both pretty good."
"I don't know, A. Do people really eat this every day?"

Sales is not about Brilliance.
We leave Brilliance to Marketing, and on rare occasions some marketers approach Brilliance.
Sales is about Fundamentals.
The salesman/woman is not the fleet wide receiver or the Heisman-candidate quarterback.
Sales people are the offensive tackles, applying smashmouth in the trenches, doing the unglamourous deeds to help make the running back look so good.
These Fundamentals : GOAL, a PLAN to funnel into the goal, WORK the plan, with discipline & consistence, daily.
and finally…ONE MORE…1 more phone call, 1 more e-mail, 1 more prospect discovered.

After using an in-house accountant that decided she could handle payroll on her own, things turned south. Within a little over a year, Bacon Plumbing had a major disaster on their hands. It was then that Caryn Ochoa, Controller with Bacon Plumbing, was brought in and decided to outsource their payroll to a third-party partner.
Caryn had previously worked with BenefitMall at a former company and was quick to recommend. After working with other payroll companies and having to wait on hold in a queue for over 45 minutes, she knew she was 100% sold on BenefitMall due to the customer service and support.
"Everything I have dealt with has been as pleasant as can be. All the reps are just incredibly wonderful and very knowledgeable. Anytime I call, I would maybe have to wait only two to three minutes. That's big to me. Because usually by the time you're calling you have a problem or concern and you don't want to be stuck on hold for 45 minutes. You're at crunch time".
Not only that but she loves how personal everything feels. She has real help when she needs it. Not to mention a 'very user-friendly payroll system'.
