Expert Panel on Business Taxation
Earlier this year, provincial Finance Minister Kevin Falcon announced the appointment of an Expert Panel on Business Taxation. The Expert Panel's mandate stated that the review would include a study of municipal property taxation of business and its impact on business competitiveness and investment.
On June 19, 2012, members of the UBCM Executive - Director Heath Slee, President, and Mayor Greg Moore, Metro Vancouver Representative - appeared before the Expert Panel to present on behalf of BC local governments. The report that they submitted to the panel is available below.
The Panel issued its final report to the Province on August 31, 2012. A link to that report is available from the provincial website noted below.

Olly Murs has finally spoken out publically about his X Factor blunder. And he thinks that the whole affair was majorly blown out of proportion.
After Sunday night's judging went to deadlock, Olly mistakenly declared that Monica Michael was going home, instead of announcing that, in fact, it would fall back to the public vote after the judges were unable to come to a decision.
See: Monica Michael Supports Olly Murs After X Factor Mistake
Caroline Flack was quick to correct her fellow presenter, before Olly sheepishly held his hands up and took responsibility for the mistake, but Twitter had already exploded with debate surrounding his mistake.
When quizzed on the incident by reporters at the ITV Gala, Olly told the Daily Mail: 'I think you need to put it in perspective with everything that's going on in the world.
'At the end of the day, I made a single mistake at a critical point in X Factor which was massively blown out of proportion.'
Touching on rumours that the X Factor is fixed, he went on: 'I had no idea Monica was going until I got the envelope. And it was just a really awkward moment for me because I made a stupid mistake.'
Of course, on Sunday's results show it transpired that Monica was, in fact, the contestant with the lowest public votes, so the presenters waved goodbye to her.
See: Louisa Johnson On Living In The X Factor House
Many speculated that he may be in for a scolding from the big boss man Simon Cowell. But, Olly insists not: 'I was expecting a telling off if I'm honest but I didn't get one which was nice.'
The presenter then took to Twitter straight after the show to apologise for his mistake.
He wrote: 'I apologise to everyone tonight I made a massive f*** up at the end. It was so tense!! I'm still learning & hope that never happens again!' Aw.
Former X Factor presenter Dermot O'Leary was quick to have his back, as he tweeted: 'Hey @ollyofficial Ahoy my friend. Keep that head up. Happens to us all. X'
He then followed up with: 'Didn't see the show tonight, but live TV is a tricky old beast at times…'
Although many jumped to the Essex singer's defense, some Twitter users were quick to use the blunder as evidence for the show supposedly being a 'fix'.
Latest Stories
One user wrote: 'Just caught up on Olly's mistake! Bless him, he looked mortified… Proof though that everything on the #XFactor is 100% completely staged'.
Another tweeted: 'So Olly knew who was going home before deadlock ooo #XFactor'.
Caroline Flack was quick to jump to her friend's defense, retweeting Olly's apology and adding 'We all make mistakes. I make LOADS in life and telly …It's live…'
Don't worry, Olly. We still love you.

University of Mississippi
OleMiss (visited 4/19/13)
This was one of the best Info Sessions I've attended (WashU being the other one competing for the top spot). Jasmine, one of the Admissions Reps, was bubbly and personable, and she related well to the people in the room. As a 2010 grad of OleMiss, she spoke intelligently about being there as a student as well as from a Rep's standpoint. She said that she didn't even consider OleMiss until she took a school trip here but is thrilled that she made the choice to attend. "Except for the bees flying around, it's perfect!" She described it as the best of both worlds – the small school feel with the large public school benefits. If you walk around The Grove, you get the small liberal-artsy school feel, but on weekends, you're going to school with 60,000 friends. She said the school size is perfect: it's a good medium-school size (16,000 undergrads) with all the options and opportunities that go with that, but not so large that she wouldn't be able to meet people or recognize other students. She joked that "If I saw a guy walking around, I wanted to be able to stalk him on facebook."
Our tour guide was a junior from Massachusetts who came to OleMiss because she was recruited for the Rifle team and is thrilled with her decision. The school spirit is intense on campus. Tailgating is a huge deal; people rush the Grove and stake out spots; it's an all-day event, and she loves that alum will come back all the time, and she loves that she always gets to meet new people. (However, football isn't the only sport getting attention. I had parked near the tennis courts, and there was a match going on – the stands were packed, and there was a LOT of enthusiasm in cheering for the players). Our tour guide also loves the other traditions on campus, including the fact that there are 25 things to do before graduating, "not all of which are technically allowed" such as jumping in the fountain. She also appreciates that you can get anywhere on campus in 10 minutes (amazing for a larger state university), but if people don't feel like walking, they can take the shuttles that run every 11 minutes. She brought a car for her first semester (parking is $80 for the year), then took it home second semester and left it because it was more hassle than it was worth. When asked what she would like to do to improve campus, she said, "Knock down one of the older dorms and build a garage . . . oh, and get more guys!" (The freshman class is 75% women this year!).
Oxford is very much a college town and is ranked as the safest place in the SE Conference and #9 in the nation. The university has a family feel and the study body is "super-diverse." Forty percent come from outside of Mississippi (TX, TN, AL, GA, FL, LA, MO, CA, IL, and AR are heavily represented). She said that OleMiss feels very much like Alabama both in terms of how people treat each other and the town (Auburn is like Oxford) but Alabama is much bigger, and some of the majors offered at the campuses differ a bit. Sixty-two percent of students come in as undecided, and entering a major or switching is easy, particularly within the same college, but depending on requirements and when the switch is made, it may take a little extra time to finish the degree, and it's sometimes easier to switch out of a major than getting into it (business, for example). Some of the majors that Ole Miss is particularly known for are:
Liberal Studies: for students who want to create their own Major or combine several interests, they can complete 3 minors which becomes their Major.
- Forensic Chemistry: ranked #2 in the country
- Integrating Marketing and Communications: This combines Business and journalism
- Center for Manufacturing Excellence: This competitive program combines engineering and business, teaching them the lingo of the other field so they can work together.
- Political Science and pre–Law: They have the 5th oldest law school in the country, and a HUGE network in politics (all but 5 Mississippi politicians went to OleMiss Law).
- Languages: Chinese and Arabic are ranked at #1.
- International Studies is ranked at #7. The Croft Institute is competitive; students must study abroad and take a language in this major.
- Accounting offers a 5-year BA/MBA with a 100% job placement rate.
- Pharmacy: they have an early-admit program which is competitive.
- Engineering
- Medical professions (OleMiss has the only medical, dental, and pharmacy school in the state). 79% acceptance rate into med school.
- Journalism: Students in this major can specialize in anything, but they have to take classes in everything (digital media, interviewing, filming, etc).
- Education: Students major in their teaching area, and then spend 1 additional year getting an EDU MA. Certification reciprocity works everywhere but TX and FL.
Students can apply as early as July 1 after Junior year. The application is straight-forward: no essays, no recs, no list of activities. Simply hit submit and pay the application fee. Once this is done, they'll send an email which asks for three years of transcripts and the senior schedule (they'll take this through Naviance/edocs, faxed, or mailed) and scores. Once the file is complete, they'll let applicants know within a couple weeks. If you meet the basic requirements by completing the required number of high school courses (non-MS residents don't need the Computer App class), have a 20 ACT or 980 SAT (single sitting – they do not superscore), and a 2.5 GPA, you're in. Once you're admitted, you can access the scholarship application. Students coming in with AP scores can get credit for 3s or better, but to guarantee credits for a specific class, get a 4 or 5.
The honors college is one of the most popular programs, and is ranked #12 in the country. Entry is highly competitive: 4000 students applied last year for 300 spots. To even get LOOKED at, students need a 28 ACT and 3.5 GPA, but last year, maybe 15 accepted students didn't have a 30 on the ACT; the average score was a 31. Once a student is identified as having the minimum requirements, they need to get recommendations and write essays. The Admissions rep also said that students need to show real involvement outside of school: "Do some REAL stuff this summer! Teach kids English, back-flip off the Empire State Building, something!" Students accepted in the program are go-getters at college, too: there have been 25 Rhodes scholars (only Vanderbilt has more from the Conference) plus Goldwater and Truman winners, among others.
Freshmen must live on campus and are required to have a meal plan. Our tour guide loves the food: "you can't go hungry!" Options include traditional dining halls, a food court with choices like Topios, frozen yogurt, Chick Fil-A, a burger place, etc. There are several tiers to the meal plans. The lowest is the Greek Meal Plan which is heavy in fall, light in spring (and recommended if you're planning on going Greek); plans extend up all the way through the 21 meals per week. There are also several levels of living options. Residential Colleges are suite-style and the most expensive. The traditional style dorms (bathroom down the hall) is cheapest; these are cinderblock buildings with large lounges (home of Monday Night Football parties and Open Mic nights), and large laundry facilities in the basement. Although there are only about 15 machines for the whole 7-storey building, one of the guides said he's never had trouble getting a machine. "Contemporary Housing" is in between these two, and just opened this past year. Rooms are slightly bigger and each has its own bathroom. Students have to be in a Freshman Interest Group (FIG – there are 2) or a LLC (7 of those) to live there. Each has a kitchen and several study rooms. Greek Life is big, and there are about 20 Greek Houses lining the aptly named street "Fraternity Row," and several more houses on the other side of campus near the Residential Colleges. Sophomore Pledge Classes each have a floor in one of the dorms. The newer dorms are attractive and clean, and fit in with the style of some of the other buildings around campus.

As you might imagine, February is a busy month for us. Gardeners are ordering seeds and ready to plant. I seem to be falling a bit behind on my blog but stay with me as that will change.
It's flower show time in the Northwest and Keane and I head up to Seattle Thursday, February 15th for two days of enjoying the ever wonderful Northwest Flower & Garden Show. I'll never forget the first show I attended when Starbucks was only a coffee wagon in the hotel lobby. After buying my first tall latte' ever I walked down Pike Street and into a wonderland of blooming trees, thatched cottages, an abundance of flowers, and even waterfalls. The sweet moist scent of spring was in the air and everything was right with my world. I've been back many times, as a garden designer, a sales exhibitor and as a speaker. This year I'm there to enjoy the show and attend a Garden Writers Association meeting. We so appreciate the effort so many put into this show and the price of a ticket brings hours of therapy to a gardener with winter doldrums. This years show runs February 14th thru 18th at the Washington Convention center.
I designed this garden in 2004 for The GWA project "Plant A Row For The Hungry". With the collaboration of NW garden writers and Pierce County Master Gardeners, we built this garden in four days. It was voted winner of "the peoples choice award" and also received a gold medal. We raised public awareness for PAR and the value of planting a little extra and contributing our garden surplus to local food banks or soup kitchens. I will write more about Plant a Row for the Hungry in the future.

January brought good news for the real estate and mortgage industries. Three items on the table will continue to help homeowners and aid in the real estate housing recovery process.
Welcome Back to Deductible Insurance Premiums – A law that expired at the end of 2011 was recently brought back by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which allows for the deductibility of mortgage insurance premiums (also known as PMI). According to a research report from Compass Point Research & Trading, there were approximately 3.6 million taxpayers who claimed the mortgage insurance deduction in 2009. The law now applies again and will be in effect through the end of Fiscal Year 2013 (FY13).
Eligible borrowers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $100K or less per year who itemize their federal tax returns can deduct 100% of their annual mortgage insurance premiums. This usually includes borrowers who have less than a 20% down payment.
This tax break covers private mortgage insurance and mortgage insurance provided by the FHA, VA, and Rural Housing Service. Those who have mortgages backed by the FHA are only required to put down 3.5%, but are asked to carry mortgage insurance for five years.
Borrowers who make more than $100,000 may be eligible as well, but are subject to a sliding scale.
Forgive and Forget: Mortgage Debt Forgiveness – The fiscal cliff also extended tax breaks for those who have mortgage debt erased through short sales and loan modifications, known as the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, which was set to expire on December 31, 2012 will now be in effect until January 1, 2014.
The fiscal cliff deal extended it for another year, meaning homeowners who experience a debt reduction through mortgage principal forgiveness or a short sale are exempt from being taxed on the forgiven amount, up to two million dollars. In order to qualify the debt must be for their primary residence.
For instance, in a short-sale situation, the lender can accept less than what is owed on the home. The amount of the principle that is not paid (the difference), is generally considered taxable income, which would potentially force more homeowners in hot water to walk away. Walking away (foreclosing) costs lenders much more and has a far greater negative impact on borrowers' credit scores. With this act, the difference is simply wiped away, and the borrowers' credit can be repaired rather quickly.
This exemption has little to no impact in "non-recourse" states, such as California. In CA, once a lender forgives the debt they have no recourse to come after the borrower for the rest, but a major win for states like Florida where short sales, once a rarity, have become increasingly common. In FL many homeowners who purchased their home prior to 2008 owe much more than their homes are worth. Short sales now represent about 1/3 of the housing market.
Mortgage Interest Deduction Remains Intact – Finally, the mortgage-interest deduction Americans love so much remains intact; however, it remains to be seen if this popular mortgage interest tax deduction will be part of a long-term deficit reduction plan.
All of this is great news for the US, especially hard hit Central Florida. These provisions will continue to assist in the housing recovery, hopefully resulting in rising prices and fewer short-sales and foreclosures.

Penn State Basketball Stock Report
Although neither the basketball or hockey team could pull out a win on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, the day represented a step forward for the two athletic programs. For the basketball team, the big stage gave fans the first real picture of who are the true players on this team, and who are the pretenders.
Stock Up: Shep Garner
Making his first appearance on the stock report, the Super Saturday matchup against Michigan gave everyone a glimpse at Shep Garner's full capabilities. Garner has been sporadic all season, with his last few outings proving to be quite uneventful. But with Saturday's 22-point performance, the sophomore guard could represent the much needed second option for the remainder of the season. The entire season to this point has rested squarely on the shoulders of Brandon Taylor, and as well as Taylor has played, it is difficult to win games in the Big Ten without a full team effort. Not to mention, Garner made five 3-point field goals, giving the Nittany Lions a deep threat. If Garner can have similar outputs going forward, Penn State could be looking at a late surge in the Big Ten.
Stock Down: Devin Foster
After finding himself with his stock rising a week ago, two disappointing starts for Devin Foster has found his stock on the decline. In the two games against Michigan and Ohio State, Foster had himself a combined nine points and did not possess the same spark he had when he was coming off of the bench. It is unusual to see players perform as well as he had on the bench, but the senior may be best fit coming off the bench the remainder of the season and have Coach Chambers' squad run with a bigger backcourt like he had been doing until Josh Reaves returns. The Ohio native was one of several veteran leaders off of the bench who provided stability when stepping into games for other players and will be better served playing from that spot the remainder of the season.
Stock Unchanged: Payton Banks
There has not been a more consistent player as of late than Payton Banks. Banks continues to shoot at about the same percentage every game (40 percent) and scores somewhere in the vicinity of 10 points in each of those contests. Banks has been a valued member of the starting lineup alongside Taylor, and if Garner can step his game up going forward, this could be a valuable trio. Slowly but surely, Banks is transforming into a leader and poising himself to take over for Taylor when he graduates at the end of the year. The sophomore has not been afraid to be told what to do and take lessons from the older guys such as Taylor. That ability to allow himself to grow both as a player and a leader puts him in a position to really make the most out of his remaining two years at State College.

Aaron Siskind
[Photographer, b. 1903, New York, d. 1991, Providence, Rhode Island.]
We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect... but, as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs.
It is no longer a matter of expressing reality, but of expressing what one feels about reality.
There are two forces operating in my work: pleasure and terror.
When I make a photograph, I want it to be an altogether new object, complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order—(unlike the world of events and actions whose permanent condition is change and disorder).
To me documentary photography means making a picture so that the viewer doesn't think about the man who made the picture.
The only other things I got from the abstract expressionists is the absolute belief that this canvas is the complete total area of struggle, this is the arena, this is where the fight is taking place, the battle. Everybody believes that, but you have to really believe that and work that way.
As the language or vocabulary of photography has been extended, the emphasis of meaning has shifted, shifted from what the world looks like to what we feel about the world and what we want the world to mean. (1958)
For some reason or other there was in me the desire to see the world clean and fresh and alive, as primitive things are clean and fresh and alive. The so-called documentary picture left me wanting something.

We present a first random number generator (RNG) which simultaneously uses independent spatial and temporal quantum randomness contained in an optical system. Availability of the two independent sources of entropy makes the RNG resilient to hardware failure and signal injection attacks. We show that the deviation from randomness of the generated numbers can be estimated quickly from simple measurements thus eliminating the need for usual time-consuming statistical testing of the output data. As a confirmation it is demonstrated that generated numbers pass NIST Statistical test suite.

There are many different types of families in Mississippi. In addition to varying compositions, dynamics vary from household to household. While there are many parents who are together because they want to be, there are also some people who decline to pursue a divorce despite a failed relationship. In many cases, these people may choose to stay together for the sake of their young children.
While the decision to tough it out in a relationship that is no longer functional for the sake of children may be noble, some people argue that it may also be unnecessary. Many parents worry that a child of divorced parents may have trouble with a successful relationship in the future, but one psychologist says that research on these issues is unclear. Many people have trouble with relationships, regardless of the model set by their parents.
In fact, some people who lived with parents who were together only because of the children actually argue that the decision to not divorce could be detrimental. According to them, such an arrangement sends the wrong message about a healthy relationship. On the other hand, psychologists say that children tend to follow the emotions of their parents. In many cases, the tension created by a no-longer-happy couple is all too obvious to children and could potentially cause them to be unhappy as well.
There are various reasons why couples in Mississippi choose to divorce. Many people find that making the decision to end a marriage is one that allows them to start over in a new, happier life. While many marriages will not end in divorce, it is important that a married couple is staying together for the right reasons.

Junior Intern
A minority group, by definition, is a sociological category that is differentiated, defined, and often discriminated against by those who hold the majority of positions of social power (Boundless, 2014).
The Deaf community is a minority group, yet there is a number of us who consider ourselves a part of another minority group. Being in two different minority groups, we are said to have two identities – Deaf and an identity being racial, sexual, religious or whatnot. How do we juggle our two identities?
I have two identities. I am Deaf and openly gay.
I have been a part of the Deaf community since birth, and it's home for me. It's where I know who I am albeit my sexual orientation. I have been humbled to meet so many people who are also a part of the Deaf community. I share my identity with other Deaf people around the world. It's also where we understand the struggles we go through as a Deaf person. It's where we support one another. It's where we unite in order to fight for our rights to be recognised as equals.
However, I only recently came out as a gay female on a public scale. I am yet to make the full immersion into the LGBT community in Sydney, although I am slowly dipping my feet into the waters. One step at a time. It's a rather overwhelming experience, but I'll get there someday.
All in all, I am slowly learning how to juggle my two identities.
I have met many Deaf people who are a part of another minority group. There are Deaf people who are a part of the Islamic community, and their lives are enriched for that because they are able to share their experience with other Deaf people. There are also Deaf people who are a part of the indigenous community, which is yet another minority group based on race.
Some Deaf people have juggled two identities since birth. Deaf and African. Deaf and Japanese. Deaf and Indian. Deaf and transgender. Deaf and Christian. Deaf and Buddhist. You name it, and you are bound to know of someone who is juggling two identities.
You could say that the Deaf community is multicultural – and I reckon it is. We do not realize it, but there is so many different cultures within the Deaf community, and for that we are able to enrich our culture. We are able to learn about how one another lives. We develop tolerance and respect for one another.
Essentially, there is so many of us out there who are juggling two identities. Minority within minority – two groups becomes one based on our main identity. We are all Deaf.

The goal: write a program that implements a turing-complete system. It could be cellular automata, a tag system, a turing machine, an interpreter for a language of your own design... the type of system doesn't matter as long as it satisfies the following conditions:
- Takes a "program" from the user as input (ex. the initial state of the turing machine)
- Runs the program
- Outputs the state of the system (or just the returns the output of the program)
- It's possible to compute anything that can be computed with the right input program to your system.

The story in the news was shocking. It covered the risk of not walking in people who have peripheral artery disease. But walking with peripheral artery disease is a bit of a Catch-22. Walking is necessary for healthy legs – but walking causes painful leg cramps. Typically, this means that the patient will stop walking, for good.
With the sedentary lifestyles we live today, this problem is becoming more and more common. Doctors are regularly seeing patients that say they can't walk because of their artery disease. This is a deadly mistake.
If you have this condition and you allow it to make you even more sedentary, you're 350% more likely to die. Definitely a tough situation. But there's a way to stop the leg cramps and get you back on track!
Peripheral arterial disease (also called PAD) involves poor blood flow in the arteries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and lungs to the muscles and organs in your body. When you have diseased arteries, they become narrow or blocked. The most common cause of narrow or blocked arteries is the buildup of fatty deposits. This common situation is called atherosclerosis. The most common complaint of people who have PAD is leg pain, which doctors call claudication.
Claudication is pain that strikes your calf or thigh muscle. It starts after you have walked a certain distance, maybe a block or two. The pain stops as soon as you rest. Each time the pain occurs, it takes about the same amount of time for the pain to go away once you stop walking.
The pain happens because not enough blood is flowing to the muscles in your legs. PAD can cause the artery that normally supplies blood to the muscle to get narrow so that less blood can flow through the artery. While you are immobile or resting, plenty of blood flows to the muscle. Once you start to work, by walking, the muscle needs more blood. The narrowed artery may not let enough blood through to the muscle.
You are at risk for PAD if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high oxidized LDL cholesterol. Smoking increases risk — so it's vital you quit if you haven't already! Unfortunately, risk increases with age too. Claudication is also more likely to occur in folks who already have atherosclerosis in other arteries, such as the arteries in the heart or brain. Heart attack or stroke survivors are more at risk.
Fortunately, this condition responds really well to treatment. So you can reverse the condition without drugs! All you have to do is follow this program of nutrients and eat a Keto or Mediterranean diet. These diets can help you reduce plaque build-up in your vascular system. And they can help to stabilize your blood sugar and blood pressure.
Here are the supplements you must take if you have PAD.
In the mid-1900s, through a fascinating set of coincidences, a powerful herbal formula known as Padma 28 made its way out of Tibet. An unknown person hand-carried the formula from Tibet to Siberia to prevent its destruction during the Communist invasion. Decades later, a Swiss pharmaceutical salesman re-discovered Padma and brought it to Europe.
This salesman created Padma Basic. He manufactured it in Switzerland under strict pharmaceutical standards. His formula consists of 19 plants, plus camphor and calcium sulfate — all of which help keep your arteries clean and healthy. Padma Basic increases circulation and reduces inflammation. We know that inflammation is directly involved in the buildup of plaque in arteries. We also know that this formula is particularly successful in keeping veins and arteries free from plaque. Whether you're preventing or treating PAD or intermittent claudication, Padma Basic has dozens of sound scientific studies to back up its effectiveness.
Since they show it can take from four weeks to six months to relieve leg pain, I suggest you use it long enough to give it a chance to work. And check with your doctor to make sure you have the time to try this supplement. The supplement is available online.
Bromelain (500 mg three times daily) -- The pineapple plant may hold the key to lowering fibrinogen. It contains a complex of proteins called bromelain that breaks down proteins. Take it with meals and it helps you digest the proteins in your food. Take it between meals and it helps break down fibrin, the form of fibrinogen that produces clots! Bromelain also activates plasmin, an enzyme that digests fibrinogen.
Bromelain works by slowing down fibrinogen production, as well as by breaking it down. Its effects are dose-dependent. The more you take, the better the results. Bromelain is extremely safe to take. There's no way you can overdose. Because it breaks down quickly in the body, it's best to take bromelain three or four times a day rather than all at once.
If you think that eating more pineapple can have a similar effect, think again. Commercial bromelain comes from the stem of the fruit, not the fruit itself. You can find bromelain supplements in any health food stores. Buy a brand with 180 tablets of 500 mg of bromelain. This is a 60-day supply if you take one, three times a day. Be sure to take it on an empty stomach.
Turmeric (Curcumin) – As you may know, powdered turmeric root (Curcuma longa) is a spice found in curry powder. It's sometimes used to make rice yellow. But turmeric, and its active ingredient curcumin, has additional value. It has strong medicinal properties. It's antibacterial, reduces inflammation, and inhibits the formation of fibrinogen. There aren't a lot of studies using this herb to reduce fibrinogen, but those that have been conducted are promising. In one study, a group of people with high fibrinogen was given 200 mg of curcumin extract a day for two weeks. Every single person lowered their fibrinogen. Studies say that 200 mg of curcumin a day works. But you can take more.
Vitamin E (800 IU daily) – Vitamin E is well known for easing the leg cramps that happen in people with PAD.
L-Carnitine (500 mg three times daily, one hour before meals) – Carnitine raises energy in muscles by shuttling fats into the mitochondria to be burned as fuel.
Niacin (500 mg with lunch and 500 mg with dinner) – Niacin is a strong vasodilator (it opens the blood vessels). It reduces lipoprotein, which can cause clogged arteries, and it reduces oxidized LDL cholesterol. This vitamin is renowned for changing unhealthy lipid levels, and is available by prescription (Niaspan). But you also can get it in health food stores. Be sure to take it in the middle of the meal so that potentially uncomfortable flushing is reduced. If you take aspirin or Alka Seltzer with the niacin this also will help reduce the flushing. If you do flush, take a cool shower and drink a big glass of cold water. The flush will pass in 30 to 60 minutes and is harmless.
Fish oils (3000 mg combined EPA and DHA daily) – Fish oils reverse plaque in blood vessels and dilate arteries for improved blood flow.
Don't Stop Walking
Now this is the tricky part. You've got to get walking! A walking program is one of the most helpful interventions for this problem. You should begin to walk at least three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each time. Walk until the pain is too uncomfortable to continue. When the pain starts, stop and rest until the pain goes away. Then start walking again.
When you begin an exercise program, such as walking or stair climbing, begin exercising slowly and gradually increase the time you spend exercising. You will most likely see big improvements in your symptoms within two months. Once you are well underway with the walking, increase it to 30 to 60 minutes daily.
That is the magic amount that has been most effective for PAD patients. Once you are walking 60 minutes a day, any extra weight that you have been carrying just seems to melt off of you. As the weight drops, so do your blood pressure, your blood sugar, and your oxidized LDL cholesterol. (The fish oils and the niacin hasten this effect, of course!)
As those factors improve, the blood vessels heal and you have restored circulation. You could be enjoying these benefits by the holidays if you start today!

Five Element Acupuncture was originally taught in England by J R Worsley, who established the College of Traditional Acupuncture at Leamington Spa, where I trained in the early 1990s. It is now taught in colleges throughout the UK and the US and has been reintroduced to China after it was lost during the Cultural Revolution. J R Worsley himself was taught by several acupuncture masters, particularly in Singapore, Korea and Taiwan. The Worsley Institute is directed by Judy Becker Worsley, J R's wife and designated successor.
Five Element Acupuncture focuses on identifying the root cause of the patient's pattern of imbalance and aims to direct treatment towards this, so that the natural healing tendency of the person's energy can be awakened and strengthened and a sense of lasting wellbeing can arise.
There are five elements or ways in which energy can be manifest: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. We all have all these elements in us, but one element will predominate and is a source of strength when we are in health, and a source of weakness when we are not. For example, in health the Metal element enables us to feel inspired but in imbalance it can generate grief; in health the Fire element enables us to relate warmly to others but in imbalance we can feel like our spark has gone out. By treating the dominant element, our energy comes back into balance and our symptoms tend to improve or resolve by themselves, whether physical, emotional or mental. Five Element Acupuncture is holistic and treats the body, mind and spirit at the same time.
Clients come for Five Element Acupuncture with many conditions including chronic conditions, compromised immunity, emotional conditions, difficulties with fertility, difficulties with the mind, difficulties with lifestyle. Because Five Element Acupuncture aims to treat the cause of any imbalance, it can have far reaching effects, whatever the symptoms of the imbalance. I particularly enjoy working with clients with hard to resolve conditions, especially if they are having an emotional impact. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

On a recent Friday morning at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, I find myself standing before King Henry VIII's field armor, contemplating the creakiness of my desk-bound body. We make an unlikely pair: this gilded, armadillo-like suit poised for battle and me, unceremoniously dressed in gray drawstring pants and a Monogram T-shirt, doing side stretches alongside a dozen or so strangers. Typical art-viewing etiquette this is not, and that's exactly the point of The Museum Workout, a collaboration nearly three years in the making between the dance troupe Monica Bill Barnes & Company and the writer-illustrator Maira Kalman. Commissioned by MetLiveArts and premiering this Thursday, with select dates through February 12, it's a curious hybrid: part guided tour; part all-levels fitness class; and part performance piece blending choreography, music, and narration.
The genre-blurring approach is clear as soon as our group takes off in a double-time jog from the Great Hall, threading past Byzantine mosaics to the medieval galleries. The disco anthem "Stayin' Alive" pulses from a speaker (carried by a vintage-tux-clad Robert Saenz de Viteri, keeping pace), and for a moment the song becomes a sly reminder of why we bother to do cardio exercise. At the head of the pack, Barnes and fellow performer Anna Bass sparkle in sequined dresses, their chiseled backs eliciting murmurs of admiration.
We filter into the sunlit Carroll and Milton Petrie European Sculpture Court and land upon the first artwork in an idiosyncratic mix of Kalman's favorites: Perseus with the Head of Medusa, by Antonio Canova. With the airbrushed physique of an Olympic swimmer, the mythological hero shows off the skill of his maker (the sculptor was a favorite of Napoleon). Next, we prance down to Franz Xaver Messerschmidt's A Hypocrite and a Slanderer, a subject whose troubles seem to pool into the rippling folds around his chin.
Besides providing a challenging 45-minute workout—climbing the cast-iron staircase created for the Chicago Stock Exchange Building; speed-walking past a Papua New Guinea dance costume; sinking into deep squats in front of that masterpiece of scandal, Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau)—there's the undeniable thrill of wandering through an empty museum before the throngs arrive. And if most tours offer up a bingo card of greatest hits, this one hopscotches from, say, the 13th-century Saint Firmin Holding His Head (talk about mind-body disconnection) to a series of female busts in the majestic Greek and Roman wing. Tapping into that sense of history is crucial for Kalman, a Met regular who is "completely passionate" about the place.
Rewiring that museum-going experience, which includes Kalman's charmingly unconventional audio guide (intercut within the aforementioned disco and Motown soundtrack) is The Museum Workout's intent. "We've spent time at various museums, watching the way people are, physically, and it's like [they're] unhappy and uncertain," Barnes says of the prevailing sense of "not knowing how long to stay, when to move on, what to stop in front of." Here, the prescribed path strips away that anxiety, while the accessible, follow-the-leader choreography—Barnes and Bass nixed early plans for push-ups and planks—occupies just enough headspace in order to free up the rest, akin to a moving meditation.
What remains is an almost radical amount of time, up to a full minute, where you're left to stare (and stretch and squat) in front of each artwork. How many times have I passed by the mesmerizingly beautiful Tomb Effigy of Elizabeth Boott Duveneck without actually seeing it?
"We're all making the piece together," Limor Tomer, general manager of MetLifeArts, explains of the feeling of community over hierarchy. "There are no spectators." Except, of course, the guards. Some have taken to dancing along; another shushes the music as we cruise into The Charles Engelhard Court. "There's one lady that just shakes her head every time I come by," Bass says with a laugh. "I try so hard to catch her eye and be like, 'I promise—we're allowed!'"
The Museum Workout takes place January 19–22, January 26–29, February 2–5, and February 9–12; for the waitlist, call 212.570.3949 or email email@example.com.

Regardless of the fact that abortion is a sensitive issue, it must nevertheless be discussed and its merits brought to the open. Mirroring the words of a student letter to the government in 2015 on abortion, we sometimes ignore, hide or simply refuse to acknowledge the fact that abortion does indeed occur. In ignoring it, we neglect women who need access to healthcare before and after the abortion. We dehumanize women who go through it, and we refuse to acknowledge that there are indeed legitimate reasons for not wanting to have a child. More so, we deliberately forget that abortion primarily affects the woman, in ways that can barely be explained. The world is changing, but change is not an event- it is a process. In light of this, this article highlights some worldwide abortion statistics to paint a clear picture of the status of abortion around the world.
Twenty Five Percent of all Pregnancies End in Abortion
Regardless of legal restrictions on abortions around the world, the Guttmacher Institute reports that about a quarter of all pregnancies are aborted every year. This statistics stands in sharp contrast with the justification that many countries have on restricting access to abortion. In fact, statistics show that out of the twenty-five percent of pregnancies terminated worldwide, a larger portion of that percentage can be attributed to countries that restrict access to abortion.
Abortion Rates Decrease when Countries Legalize It
Stringent abortion laws are justified on grounds that they are a means of reducing abortion incidences. This couldn't be further from the truth. It has been proved time and again that when countries lessen restrictions on abortion, the rates actually decrease. To highlight this phenomenon we compare Switzerland and Pakistan. In Switzerland, abortion is permitted at the discretion of the woman within the first trimester. Beyond the first trimester, the legal criteria for permissibility are very broad and generally involves risk to the woman's health or distress should the pregnancy continue. Those in favor of strict abortion laws would intuitively think that the abortion rates in Switzerland are very high. Surprisingly, this is not the case at all. On the contrary, the country has the lowest abortion rates with only five for every one thousand women. In Pakistan where abortion carries a potential jail term if carried out outside grounds of the woman's health, abortion rates are the highest in the world. In Pakistan, fifty women in a thousand have an abortion! The United States is also a great example. The nation has some of the most liberal abortion laws yet rates remain low at thirteen for every a thousand women. On a worldwide scale, the same phenomenon holds true. In general abortion rates have significantly reduced in the past twenty-five years. In the years 2010-2014 it was reported that on a worldwide scale 35 women carry out an abortion out of every 1000. This figure marked a decreased from the previously recorded ration of 40:1000. The interesting statistic though is that the drop is largely attributed to countries with less stringent abortion laws. Countries with liberal laws saw a drastic drop from 46 women to 27 women for every thousand. This is to be compared with the minuscule drop from 39 women to 36 in countries that have strict abortion laws.
Eastern Europe has the Sharpest Decline in Abortion Rates in Europe
Largely attributed to changing socio-economic conditions in the sub-region following an end to communism a comparative study done from the years 1990- '94 and 2010-2014 established that there was a drastic decrease in abortion incidents. The recorded figure the 1990's study reported abortion rates of 88 for every 1000 women. This is in stark contrast to the figure in the 2010s which stood at a jaw-dropping 42 for every 100 women. An analysis of this statistic highlights a common trend that improved access to contraceptives can reduce unwanted pregnancies thus greatly reducing abortion incidents.
Most European Countries have Less Stringent Abortion Laws
It seems that with the exception of Malta, the Vatican City, Andorra, and Liechtenstein, many European countries permit abortion in one way or another. Most restrict abortion for medical reasons, both physical and mental. In many neighboring countries, a physician's consent is also required beyond 10-12 weeks of pregnancy. Ireland recently joined the ranks of countries with less stringent abortion laws having amended its laws in 2018.

It has been quite some time since my last post. During that time, I have been extremely busy at work as well as dealing with private matters. Also during this time, I have been following not only the RDA listserv but also the public-id listserv and any buzz around RDA.
There are several recurring issues that I wanted to highlight from what I have been reading.
1. Do I need to take a course on RDA?
- The profession of cataloging is in a period of flux. Even if you don't need to become a RDA expert, it is always a good idea to understand what RDA is in general. If possible, I would try to find a course that doesn't require a registration fee. Also, I would suggest only taking only one or two courses to become familiar with RDA, unless your administrators have already made the decision to adopt RDA as a new content standard.
2. Where can I find information on RDA and is it useful information?
- There is a great deal of free information available on the web when it comes to RDA. There are webinars, PowerPoint presentations, articles, blogs, and e-forums. A Google search will bring a lot of materials. However, the first and easiest place to start is the Library of Congress. For the RDA National Test, the Library of Congress is making available their training materials, policies, and decisions. Furthermore, Dr. Barbara Tillett has given many talks on RDA that are freely available through LC's website. You will need RealPlayer for these webcasts. One of the webcasts is also in Spanish. Another good resource the ALA Annual 2010 Wiki site. Many of the presentations from ALA Annual on RDA are freely available.
3. Is RDA a done deal?
- RDA is NOT a done deal. The decision to move forward with RDA as a new content standard will be made next April 2011 once the National Test has been completed. According to the Library of Congress: "The three libraries agreed to make a joint decision on whether or not to implement RDA, based on the results of a test of both RDA and the Web product. The goal of the test is to assure the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of RDA." I think we also have to remember that there are still chapters missing from the RDA text. RDA is still very much an unfinished text that needs to be updated.
4. Should I adopt RDA and go through the process of selling it to my administrators?
- RDA is not a national content standard as of yet. Some of the testing libraries, like the University of Chicago, say that they will adopt RDA if the three national libraries make the decision to do so. The testing period is a perfect time to "wait and see" as well as become informed about RDA.
5. Should I buy a license for the RDA Toolkit?
- The three national libraries and their RDA National Test partners have free access to the RDA Toolkit during the testing period. This is one of the advantages to being a test library. And it should be said that one of the goals of the test is to give feedback on the Toolkit itself. If you're not a test library, it's good to remember that the draft is still freely available online at: http://www.rdatoolkit.org/constituencyreview. From what I have been able to tell, not many changes have been made from this draft and the RDA text that comes as part of the RDA Toolkit. Especially when many libraries have been hit with budget cuts, reading the draft online is a good alternative.
6. What about the RDA-listserv?
- There is a listserv for discussions on RDA. To subscribe, send an email to email@example.com with the command (paste it!): SUBSCRIBE RDA-L. I subscribed to this listserv as it first rolled out. I have to say that the discussions have not been as helpful as I would have liked. Some of the interactions remind me of AUTOCAT. Now, if this doesn't bother you, definitely sign up. As for myself, I have found that one great place to interact about RDA thus far is the discussion currently taking place on the ALCTS e-forum. This e-forum is topic driven and deals with the concrete and day-to-day activities of technical services. For more information, go to: http://lists.ala.org/wws/info/alcts-eforum.
7. What's it like to catalog using RDA? Does it take more time? Is it really easier?
- The answer to these and such questions will hopefully be published in April at the end of the National RDA Test. It is the object of the test to answer questions such as these in addition to seeing how easy it is to use the RDA Toolkit.
Let the record creation begin this October 1st!

Arts and social change company Big hART to launch the Namatjira Legacy Trust
The National Museum is hosting a series of events, including a new exhibit and the launch of a charitable trust, to celebrate the work of artist Albert Namatjira, his community and descendants.
Lenie Namatjira and Gloria Pannka, renowned artists and granddaughters of Albert Namatjira, and Clara Inkamala, acclaimed potter and watercolourist, will visit the National Museum on 3–4 March as part of a group from the Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands Art Centre in Alice Springs.
A new exhibit about Ntaria (Hermannsburg) and Namatjira's legacy, which displays work by each of the three artists, is now on show in the Landmarks gallery. Curator Jennifer Wilson said the group will visit the display and hold a watercolour masterclass.
'The exhibit is drawn entirely from the collections of the National Museum, and consists of 15 objects representing 125 years of history from the Finke River mission, the Hermannsburg settlement and the community of Ntaria today. This is the first time most of the objects have been displayed,' Ms Wilson said.
National Museum director, Dr Mathew Trinca, said 'We are honoured to have descendants of Albert Namatjira, one of Australia's great artists, with us to share their stories and talent.'
Iltja Ntjarra studio coordinator, Ellie Kate Misios, says the centre is proudly Aboriginal owned and home to practising Hermannsburg School watercolour artists who continue to paint in the tradition of Albert Namatjira, arguably one of Australia's most famous artists of the 20th century.
Leading arts and social change company, Big hART, will officially launch the Namatjira Legacy Trust at 11am on Friday 3 March at the Museum, with a special performance by singer-songwriter Shellie Morris.
Big hART CEO Scott Rankin said, 'The trust hopes to facilitate a return of the copyright of Albert Namatjira's work to the family and community, and is also seeking to raise money to support the health, welfare, education and sustainability of the Namatjira families and extended communities – to ensure that the extraordinary Central Desert watercolour movement continues long into the future, benefiting many generations to come.'
Please contact Tracy Sutherland (02) 6208 5338, 0438 087 717 or email@example.com
For enquiries on the Namatjira Legacy Trust or Big hART, contact Bettina Richter 0414 441 860 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The South West Project
19 Sep 2011 at 12:37pm
Well it has started, a couple of weeks back we had our first of several trips to photograph the South West like it hasn't been seen before. The same team from the Pilbara Project have gathered along with guest shooter Nick Rains. We have a super team of Landscape photographers
The first trip started in Albany and worked its way back to Bridgetown shooting all along the way. Next we are heading inland and following the old country towns to Bremer Bay. For that trip we are taking our own Cessna 172 and Pilot. We hope to shoot a lot from the air as this gives you such a great perspective.
As a group we all have so much fun, the banter between us is constant and having cb radios in the car it only stopped when we were asleep. Here are some pics of the boys. Thanks to Tony and Nick for some of these images.
Stay tuned for more stories to come from the project as well as announcements on the exhibition dates and a super workshop that will blow your minds!!!

Ajax lose to Real Madrid 1 - 2 (Ziyech; Benzema, Asensio) in the first leg of the Champions League round-of-16. Here's our quick reaction. Still to come: Player ratings, post-game podcast, and tactical review.
Immediate Reaction: Ajax 1 - 2 Real Madrid
Ajax lose to Real Madrid 1 - 2 (Ziyech; Benzema, Asensio) in the first leg of the Champions League round-of-16. Here's our quick reaction. Still to come: Player ratings, post-game podcast, and tactical review.
There was an unbelievable intensity from Ajax to start this match — an intensity that was sustained for the entirety of the first half, and continued to cause Real Madrid problems in the second half.
In the first minute, Ajax fuelled a raucous Johan Cruijff ArenA with a high-octane press. They dispossessed Sergio Reguilon in a dangerous area within seconds, then pressed Gareth Bale deep shortly after. And their press was relentless. Minute-by-minute, Erik Ten Hag's men won the ball high up the pitch, while everyone in Real Madrid's backline gave the ball away prolifically.
In the ninth minute, Ajax conjured their best chance after winning the ball with their press, with Vinicius Jr there just in time to put a body and force the shot wide.
While Real Madrid struggled to find their outlets; Ajax were brilliant. In particular, Ziyech, Tadic, Neres, and Schone were constantly moving without the ball and taking players on, ensuring Solari's men had little room to breathe.
Amid the chaos, Real Madrid had a couple promising counter-attacks, albeit laboured. Casemiro had a brilliant challenge at the top of the box in the seventh minute which led to a Bale counter-attack chance; and in a rare moment, Toni Kroos encapsulated how press-resistant he can be by dribbling through a few defenders in midfield to get the ball to Vinicius Jr, who's shot forced a corner kick.
There wasn't much else to be excited about. Vinicius was dangerous when he had the ball in the final third, but it wasn't often. Benzema's passing in Ajax's half wasn't good. Bale took three shots — all very tame. Reguilon had some promising sequences as a ball-carrier in transition, but his passing wasn't good enough. Dani Carvajal read passing lanes well in the first half (four interceptions after 45 minutes), but his passing (surprise) wasn't good. Ramos also read the game well a few times but couldn't distribute well. Ditto Modric.
After a shocking defensive sequence where Real Madrid collapsed during a slow build-up from Ajax (on a rare instance that Vinicius didn't track back), Courtois forced a corner. Ajax put the ball in the back of the net on the ensuing corner off a Courtois error, but the goal was disallowed for offside interference:

Here's what Real Madrid had going for them at half-time, despite the horrendous first half display: Ajax weren't clinical in front of goal and their final pass wasn't always great. Solari's men allowed Ajax time on the ball to slice dangerous, vertical passes, and dealing with high-presses continues to be a problem under Santi. But Real were bailed out with inefficiency from Ten Hag's men up front.
At half-time, per source, Solari told Vinicius "Pretend every player is Jose Gimenez". It worked, and gave birth to Real Madrid's opening goal:
Vinicius. Benzema. Goal.— B/R Football (@brfootball) February 13, 2019

What do you get when you combine 10 of Europe's most innovative energy sector startups and match them with 6 of Japan's most forward-thinking corporates coming to the table with 1M-2M GBP in funds for pilot projects? A fast-paced event where the future of the energy sector is launched!
"We've had a great initial response from high-quality startups and getting the interest from the sponsors. After a rigourous selection process, the foundation of our offer to both the startups and the sponsors is now well established. We think we can take the program to the next level by including a handful of strategic attendees," said program coordinator Paul Monroe.
Starting from today, Japan Energy Challenge 2018 will be accepting inquiries for attendees with a strategic interest relevant to the program. These include:
Market Research/Consulting Groups
What will the future of the Japanese energy sector look like? How will the successes of European startups translate to entering this market? What implications are there for both the public and private sector in learning these lessons? We see a tremendous opportunity in having an energy-focused market research & consulting group involved in the program to answer these questions and demonstrate unique expertise in emerging trends in the European/Asian energy sector.
We anticipate that Japan Energy Challenge will lead to the start of pilot projects, allowing for the selected startups to make their first entrance into the massive Japanese energy market. Winning these projects will be the first major stage of international expansion activities for many of the participants, making this an ideal time for investment. We have a limited number of seats available for strategically positioned investors who would look to capitalise on the opportunity to meet a select group of startups with explosive growth potential and a defined roadmap to achieving it.
Innovation, international collaboration, and getting a sneak peak of the future – we welcome attendees from the media covering technology, business, and the energy sector.
Government/Public Sector
Japan Energy Challenge is filling a unique niche in the acceleration and export of technology. International in scope and cash grant (rather than investment) focused, Japan Energy Challenge combines elements of public programs like Innovate UK, Horizon 2020, Energy Systems Catapult, and DIT/FCO trade missions, but is private sector driven and coordinated not by major corporates but by entrepreneurs who have stood in the shoes of the startups. We are offering seats to a handful of public sector attendees whose role has a strategic overlap with the goals of Japan Energy Challenge and who would seek to share knowledge and understand how this unique approach can better improve their own programs.
Japan Energy Challenge 2018 will take place on 5-6 July. If you are a one of these parties or have an offer relevant to the consortium, please get in contact with us at email@example.com.
