March 8, 2002 at 10:59 pm #72094kimkParticipant
You know I've re-read this thread and I still come to the same conclusion and that is that the forum guidelines are what I based my opinions on:
The purpose of this folder is to close the gap of understanding between those who do believe, and those who don't.
No one is here to be converted.
This is not a debate, this is respectful discussion.
This is not a forum for non believers to come and simply state
their own beliefs.
Gold Dragon, if I seemed too abrupt in my response, I'm sorry. It appears to me that many JREF people are coming here to engage us in this conversation/debate just to go back to their site and report on how closed minded we are when we ask them to leave. Most of the time this debate is not started with the attempt to close the gap of understanding, rather it is to show us "the error of our ways". In the last day or two I visited the JREF site and as I read the threads some of the people posted that their intent was to come here to "save us" or to just plain irritate us in order to get kicked out and then lo and behold, here they are. We have no way of knowing if you are sincere in your initial posts or not because so many of the Randi people started off just like you and then turned on us. I can think of two just in the last couple of days. Normally I just let it slide off my back, but yesterday I just got sick of it and wanted to post my opinion. If I have lumped you in the wrong category in error, then please stay. We have had at least one respectful skeptic here in the past and would welcome another. But, if your intent is to flame or attack, then my original statement holds….please don't bother.March 22, 2002 at 7:23 am #69036GoldDragonParticipant
No offense taken – I've just been a) extremely busy the past few days, and b) trying to decide if I do have a point, or a reason. I must admit, I'm still not entirely certain about b. :)
I'd planned a response, but in actuality, I think perhaps I should ask offlist. Pam, is there a way to reach you by email? (or will I find it 5 seconds after sending this, and feel like a dork for asking?)
Any way it turns out, y'all have fun. :)
GoldDragonMarch 22, 2002 at 1:49 pm #68819Pam BKeymaster
Yes, you can reach me by clicking on the 'email' button at the bottom of my post. :) Thank you.July 19, 2002 at 12:13 pm #78529EricParticipant
I'm new here, and don't have the benefit of context for all this, but I personally found the general responses to Asa and GD a little on the defensive side.
I'm a skeptic, myself…but I've been heartily convinced by the evidence I've been studying over the past year. Just because someone has seen a few episodes of CO and isn't swayed doesn't make them a close-minded cynic, IMO. I wasn't totally convinced by CO either…there are too many ways to fake things on TV.
As Sgrendard is very adept at pointing out, the scientific evidence is there…we don't have to respond as though the phenomena can't take criticism. There certainly will be cynics who won't be prepared to consider any evidence at all, and they should be booted. But Asa and GD (IMHO) seemed to be the very kind of 'skeptics' this forum seems designed to respond to.
Just my two cents! :)

The Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed has announced that his department is issuing payments to farmers under TAMS (the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme II) at an average rate of over €1 million per week this month. TAMS II payments to farmers will reach almost €5 million by the end of the month bringing the total amount paid to date under TAMS II to over €21.25 million. The Minister said, "I am delighted with the level of interest shown in the TAMS scheme and in these huge payment figures for August. We are on track to pay out an average of over €1m per week for this month. It reflects the significant on-farm investment underway in Ireland as farmers here continue to develop their enterprises. We will continue to make payments on a weekly basis. I would urge all farmers to proceed with their approved investments and to submit these for payment as soon as the works have been completed to …Read More »

J-ENG and National Maritime Research Institute start marine fuel R&D
Japan Engine Corporation (J-ENG) on Tuesday (24 September) said it will be cooperating with the National Maritime Research Institute to start the research and development of carbon-free marine fuel.
"Carbon-free fuel is a fuel that does not contain carbon atoms and thus does not emit carbon dioxide, and it is expected to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) as a countermeasure against global warming," it notes.
"In particular, hydrogen energy is expected as a promising energy carrier for achieving a decarbonized society, and various studies are being conducted about the liquefied hydrogen and ammonia etc.
"To realise the decarbonized society that can prevent global warming through the reduction of GHG in shipping industry, J-ENG will continuously move forward to innovate and provide alternative energy solutions for future."

China accused the United States Republican Party of "groundless accusations" in a statement to Chinese media, after the RNC platform dismissed Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea and recognized Chinese suppression of Tibetan culture.
The RNC platform portray's China's territorial claims in the South China Sea as "preposterous," and called its brutal tactics in Tibet "cultural genocide." The platform also calls on the U.S. to continue selling arms to an independently ruled, democratic Taiwan.
China's foreign ministry issued a statement to China's official news agency, Xinhua, saying "we hope relevant parties stop their groundless accusations against China and interference in China's domestic affairs and contribute more to bilateral trust and cooperation." China continued, "All political parties in the United States should view China's development in an objective and rational manner and correctly understand the issues that emerge in bilateral ties."
The statement is not the Chinese government's first foray into the U.S. presidential election, in April Chinese Foreign Minister Lou Jiwei called Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump an "irrational type." Trump has made the U.S. trade deficit with China a central element of his economic policy, and has promised massive tariffs on Chinese goods.
On July 4, a leading Chinese propaganda arm said China should prepare for war in the South China Sea ahead of a major impending international tribunal decision that struck down any Chinese territorial claims. China escalated this rhetoric by announcing military drills and combat air patrols over the South China Sea, raising the risk of a confrontation with the U.S.
The Council on Foreign Relations noted in 2015 that 5.3 trillion dollars of world goods moved through the South China Sea, with 1.2 trillion of that bound for U.S. shores. Any disruption in this shipping channel would throw world markets into chaos. China has shown a willingness to curtail freedom of navigation in favor of its territorial claims in the South China Sea, worrying the U.S. and its allies.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Pertamina Hulu Energi's (PHE) subsidiary, PHE Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), has paid the initial compensation to 10,271 residents affected by the YYA-1 well oil spill. The initial compensation was agreed at Rp900,000 per household per month, for the months of July and August 2019.
The compensation disbursement started in Karawang Regency, West Java. PHE development director Afif Saifudin said the total of the initial compensation payments amounted to Rp18.54 billion.
PHE ONWJ's initial compensation payment is intended to provide direct buffer funds for residents affected, considering the oil spill has been going on for two months.
The compensation payment mechanism involves a number of state banks (Himbara), namely Bank Mandiri, BNI, and BRI.
Karawang Regent Cellica Nurrachadiana appreciated the state firm's quick payment. She said that residents have continued to support and assist PHE ONWJ in handling this incident, especially for cleaning up oil spills.

Thank you to Juicy Juice for sending product in exchange for my (and my three-year-old's) honest opinion in this review.
My daughter loves juice. I try not to let her have too much juice, because I know that it can be quite sugary and not always very good for you. I have been a fan of Juicy Juice 100% juice since I was a kid, so when I got the chance, I was happy to partner with Juicy Juice to try some of their newest products with my daughter.
First up, Juicy Juice's new Juicy Waters. These are a flavored-water beverage. A great way to get your little one who doesn't love plain water to drink more water! These are made with filtered water and a hint of organic juice. Hint is definitely the key word here. My daughter was expecting a little more juice flavor, but it was about what I expected. Juicy Juice Waters contain zero calories, zero sugar and are available in an eight-pack of 6.75 oz. single-serve boxes. Juicy Waters come in Fruit Punch, Orange and Strawberry Watermelon flavors.
Next we got to try Juicy Juice Fruitifuls Organic. Although not pictured, we got to try the Apple and Fruit Punch flavors in the multi-serving bottle. They are also available in single-serve juice boxes, and are also available in Grape. Fruitifuls Organic feature 45% less sugar than the leading juice and in each eight ounce serving there is a half a cup of fruit. Both Apple and Fruit Punch were a hit in our home.
Finally we got to try Juicy Juice Protein. These are one of the first juice-protein blends on the market. They are packed with whey protein and are shelf-stable. Each serving has five grams of protein and is great as a snack in between meals. Juicy Juice Protein is available in an eight-pack of six ounce pouches in Fruit Punch and Orange. One note on these was that we started two of the juices and then let the packs sit for a bit at room temp while she played and then went back to them and both times she complained of "something on her tongue" and wiped her tongue on a kitchen towel, and it appeared that the whey protein had clumped a bit. She did not have issues when she drank the entire juice pouch right away within a few minutes. So my recommendation would be to shake the pouch a little before opening and then to consume right away, not to leave them sit out like you might do with other juice pouches.
Overall we were pleased with the new Juicy Juice products with the Organic Fruitifuls being our overall favorite.
Tell me in the comments: Are you a Juicy Juice fan? Have you tried any of the new Juicy Juice varieties yet?
Buy It: Head over to Juicy Juice to see for yourself the great selection of products they offer.
Connect: Don't forget to like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for all the latest news and promotions.
Hi, my name is Asha. I am 30 years old and am a nurse by profession. My husband and I have been married for over five years and together we have a sweet three-year-old daughter, an infant son, and a lovable bunny named Caramel. I enjoy spending time with family, taking photographs, scrapbooking, hunting, fishing, cooking and gardening.
This post currently has 8 responses.
We haven't tried the new varieties yet, but our kids have always been Juicy Juice fans!
I have had Juicy Juice before and I really love it. My favorite is their fruit punch.
We love Juicy Juice too! I haven't tried the Juicy Waters yet, but I know that these would be perfect for my little ones! My daughters usually don't have a problem drinking plain water, but my son is super picky about it. I will definitely be picking some of these up the next time I go shopping. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
I like the juices especially that they are 100% juice and have less sugar. I am interested in trying the flavored water and see what my grandkids think about it.
I only drink 100% juice. So these would be good.
I need to check Juicy Juice out did not know they had juicy waters. My great niece (2) stays with me a couple times a month and I try to have things she would like. Zadaya likes water, I drink water and she is always picking up my water bottle and drink from it. She also has her own water bottles but she like mine the best.
Juicy Juice is great, Juicy Waters is not. The only juice in "Strawberry Watermelon" flavor is lemon juice (less than 1%). The last listed ingredient, and the only one that MIGHT be strawberry or watermelon, is listed simply as "organic flavors". When I called Juicy Juice on the phone the very kind representative could not confirm what those flavored ingredients are.
So this reviewer is correct in "hint" of flavor. IMHO… Since she received the product free of charge in exchange for the review she had to be very kind in her review so that others will send her free products to review. I commend her for stating that up front. "My daughter was expecting a little more flavor…" is the kind way of saying she didn't like it. Neither did I.
Grammatical correction to my previous review:
IMHO… Since she received the product free of charge in exchange for the review she had to be very kind in her review so that others will send her free products to review. I commend her for stating that up front.
I should have written as:
IMHO… She received the product free of charge in exchange for the review and I commend her for stating that up front. Because of this I believe she had to be very kind in her review so that others will send her free products to review.

RMS Works With China Property and Casualty Reinsurance Company To Reduce Uncertainty of China Typhoon Model
RMS, the world's leading catastrophe risk management firm, today announced that it worked with China Property and Casualty Reinsurance Company (China Re P&C) to reduce the uncertainty in the RMS China Typhoon model. The technical collaboration with China Re P&C, a leading non-life reinsurance company in China, provided RMS with deeper insight into China's typhoon risk that has strengthened the model's risk differentiation capability.
"China Re P&C's extensive research into China's catastrophe risk, which has been carried out over many years, has enabled us to create a robust historical record of catastrophe data," said Sen Chen, vice president and chief actuary, China Re P&C. "RMS is an important risk management partner for us. We've been licensing RMS catastrophe models since 2010 and have established a strong and cooperative relationship."
"We are delighted by the opportunity to collaborate with China Re P&C to advance our China Typhoon model. Working together has enabled us to provide a more robust view of China typhoon risk," said Jason Futers, senior vice president and head of Europe and Asia sales at RMS. "Our model enables enhanced risk differentiation and pricing and portfolio-management of typhoon risk; a peril that is increasingly becoming a driver of annual losses for the industry."
The RMS China Typhoon model enables users to deepen their understanding of China typhoon risk and better inform their capacity allocation and capital management decisions, as well as determine appropriate insurance and reinsurance structures and premium rates. The model includes coastal flood for the entire China coastline and embeds a state-of-the-art, fully dynamic storm surge model for Hong Kong that takes into account unique complexities of the coastline. It covers losses from storm-surge-driven coastal flooding, rainfall-driven flood and wind to provide a complete view of China typhoon risk – a region where flood can contribute up to 80 percent of the total typhoon risk.

RMS models and software help financial institutions and public agencies evaluate and manage catastrophe risks throughout the world, promoting resilient societies and a sustainable global economy.

Tax planning tips to maximise your return
Having a tax plan in place before 30 June will enable you to make strategic decisions to maximise your returns come tax time.
Tax planning tips
The end of the tax year will soon be upon us with 30 June just around the corner. Now's a good time to take a look at both your expected taxable income (essentially your business's assessable income, minus any allowable deductions) for the current financial year 2018-19; and your projected/expected taxable income for 2019-20, as they will help guide your tax planning strategy.
Tip: refer to the Australian Taxation Office's individual tax rates (sole trader) or company tax rate to identify your income bracket and the tax you're likely to incur.
If you are expecting to have a higher income this financial year, compared to your projections/expectations for the next financial year, you can talk to your accountant to consider:
- Prepaying some of your 2019-20 expenses (such as your rent, insurance or subscriptions to professional associations) in the 2018-19 financial year. Up to 12 months of the following year's expenses can be deducted in the current tax year.
- Taking advantage of the instant asset write-off, which enables you to immediately deduct assets you purchase for your business costing less than the associated threshold (whether the asset is purchased new or second-hand). This opportunity will be available until 30 June 2020. Thresholds have changed over the past few years so check the ATO website for full details.
- Reviewing and postponing some of your invoicing for the current tax year, if appropriate.
- Topping up your voluntary superannuation contributions.
- Reviewing your debtors and writing off any unrecoverable debts.
- If applicable, deducting any start-up expenses – such as obtaining legal or accounting advice on your business structure, and fees in relation to establishing the structure (eg. ASIC company registration fee).
If you are expecting to have a higher income next financial year (2019-20), you can talk with your accountant to consider:
- If it's appropriate to do so, bringing forward any invoicing into the current financial year for scheduled work that will be carried out in the next financial year.
- Paying your expenses as they are due, rather than pre-paying them in advance during the current tax year.
- Purchasing any required equipment or business assets in this year. If you decide to purchase business assets, you should base this decision on the needs of your business. For example, you might need to purchase a vehicle for deliveries to help expand your business operations in order to achieve business goals, or because it is in line with your business plan.
Tip: Avoid spending on business assets for the sake of claiming tax deductions, In most cases, you'll find yourself paying $1 to save 30 cents* in tax (*based on the most common business tax rate).
Additional tax tips for small business owners:
Below are some additional tax planning strategies to discuss with your accountant.
GST cash accounting
This means accounting for GST on a cash basis rather than accruals, so you pay GST to the ATO when you actually collect it, not when you issue your invoice. GST cash accounting is also good for improving your cash flow.
Small business restructure rollover
This tax planning strategy is useful in situations where you may be looking to change from a family partnership to a family trust. If you're a small business entity (SBE), you can transfer an active asset of your business (such as goodwill) to another SBE as part of a genuine business restructure, where there is no change in the ownership of the assets. This means no capital gains will be payable. However, state transfer tax might still apply.
Instant asset write-off vs depreciation
We shared tips about how to take advantage of the government's improved instant asset write-off which affects those with an annual turnover of less than $10 million.
- As part of your tax planning you should compare which is better: instant asset write-off vs depreciation
In a nutshell; as businesses grow and make more income, there may be a greater benefit in not using the instant asset write-off, as you may lose out on on-going deductions and depreciation.
The ATO provides useful information on simpler depreciation for small business.
Is your return correct and current?
Having accurate and current information is another important aspect of tax planning that can help you maximise your deduction and allow you and your accountant to make informed tax decisions. This includes:
- Ensuring the log books for your business vehicle are up-to-date. You'll need to start a new log book if your current one is more than five years old or your vehicle usage has changed significantly. You could also consider investing in one of the many mileage tracking digital apps available.
- If your business carries stock, do your stocktake as at 30 June 2018. NB: If your estimated closing stock (and opening stock) is less than $5,000 you do not have to do a stocktake.
- Accounting for the private use of business assets, such as motor vehicles, when claiming GST on expenses. For example, if you're claiming 100 per cent GST on motor vehicle expenses but 20 per cent of the vehicle's use was private, you'll need to adjust your annual GST private apportionment claim to factor in this personal use.

Package holidays to Gran Canaria offer excellent value for money and a chance to escape to a paradise island for a little while. If you are someone who likes your holiday to consist of scorching hot weather, white sandy beaches and clear blue waters, then Gran Canaria is definitely the place for you.
Relax in Beautiful Surroundings
Package holidays to Gran Canaria are great for people who just want to get away from it all to a place where they can relax and leave the hustle and bustle of normal life behind for a little while.
There are lots of small beaches which are amongst the cleanest in Europe, where you can sunbathe and take a dip in the calming waters at ease. There are also many spa's and wellbeing centres where you can spend time being pampered, releasing all that pent up tension which tends to build up during normal life.
Miniature Continent
The island, which is located between Fuerteventura and Tenerife is one of the warmest places in Europe during the southern months yet, its mountain ranges are often tipped with snow, making for a dramatic variety of terrain to explore.
This mixture of climates and landscapes means that Gran Canaria is a very unique island with lots of different terrain. From sandy beaches with clear blue waters, to mountains thick with forests, flowers and wild animals, it is because of this that Gran Canaria has been nicknamed 'Miniature continent'.
This makes package holidays to Gran Canaria perfect for those who enjoy exploring. There are few things more enjoyable than spending a day trekking through the various terrains of Gran Canaria, taking in the sights and sounds of nature and spotting the local protected species.
Suitable for all Tastes
Another great thing about Gran Canaria is that it offers something for everyone. Those who like the heat will find plenty of warm weather in the north and those who prefer a cooler setting for their holiday should travel to the areas of the island which are overlooked by the shade providing mountain range.
Jet2 Holidays offer package holidays that you can really trust. Visit them to find out more about their excellent package holidays to Gran Canaria .

Ten local schools are among a handful statewide chosen to participate in a new pilot program that brings mental health resources to campus, providing more immediate access to treatment and training designed to provide help as close as possible to where it's needed.
In collaboration with the state Department of Education and three different nonprofits, Blue Shield of California announced Monday that it has started a five-year, $10 million effort to extend one-on-one therapy, teacher mental health training and other resources to school districts in San Diego and Alameda counties.
Locally, the Sweetwater and Oceanside districts and Juvenile Court Community Schools are participating in the pilot program. Therapists were assigned to schools in September and are already meeting with students daily. Plans are in place to teach more than 6,000 teachers "mental first aid" techniques to help spot students who would benefit from additional counseling.
"The idea here is to impact both the students who are getting the services as well as their classmates," said Dr. Tanya Dansky, chief medical officer of Blue Shield's California Promise Health Plan.
It's clear that the need is significant. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that children ages 6 to 17 are being diagnosed with conditions such as anxiety and depression in greater and greater numbers. In 2003, 5.4 percent of kids in this age range had been diagnosed with either condition, and that number was up to 8.4 percent by 2012, the most recent year for which data was available.
The effects are more pronounced for those with fewer resources. One in five children living in poverty has been diagnosed with a mental, behavioral or developmental disorder, according to the CDC.
Blue Shield is working with Wellness Together, a California nonprofit that specializes in providing therapists in school settings, to staff individual campuses. Tayler Trotter, a licensed marriage and family therapist fresh from an internship at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, was assigned to work with students at Otay Ranch High School, which just happens to be her alma mater.
It was eye opening, she said, to return to campus a decade after graduation. The most noticeable change, she said, is the effect that social media has had on students. During her time at Otay Ranch, Myspace was the most prevalent social network, and computer access was necessary to participate. Now smartphones are ubiquitous, meaning that kids are living 24/7 in a crucible of constant communication.
"Definitely, social media is a big thing that has a lot of different effects," Trotter said. "For me, it has definitely been necessary to adapt and make sure I understand what they're dealing with."
Since September, she has been receiving referrals from school staff. So far, everything from anxiety to anger management difficulties have sent students her way, and she meets with each referral once per week for up to 10 weeks. The campus is also getting started on group therapy sessions.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, such as identifying triggers for low mood and anger, is a common resource for many of the 20 clients she's currently working with, as is basic education in how such therapy, and mental health care in general, works. Most, she finds, don't have much experience with these subjects.
"A lot of these students have never talked with someone about these kinds of things, so that can be an adjustment," Trotter said.
Though it might seem like students would be reluctant to see a therapist at school where they're around other students, she said most don't seem to be trying to hide the fact that they're getting help. Such nonchalance suggests that recent often celebrity-driven destigmatization efforts may be having some effect. While the kids seem to be relatively open to the idea of receiving mental health care at school, parents often have a little more difficulty, Trotter said. Many, she said, view a therapist referral as commentary on their parenting.
"We have to break down what we're doing, what the process is, and that we're just offering a little bit more help, not criticism," Trotter said. "The point is that we're going to find a way to work together to help the student."
Dr. Dansky, the Blue Shield medical director, said the pilot program is designed to study the effects of pushing mental health services closer to where they're needed. Many studies indicate that the majority of diagnosed mental health problems go untreated, and the hope is that making therapy easier to access might result in significant gains at critical moments in students' educational careers.
Making those kinds of gains won't come immediately, which is why the insurance company has committed to a five-year run.
"We know that it will take some time to see changes happen, and we're not necessarily looking for a quick fix," Dansky said. "By having this combination of both training the teachers to recognize the signs and signals as early as possible and to have access right there on campus, we're excited to see what can be accomplished."
Blue Shield is collaborating with researchers at UC San Francisco to study the program's effectiveness.
San Diego County campuses involved in the initiative include:

How to work with other professionals who are also supporting your clients – For therapists and counselors, somatic practitioners, and potential surrogate partners
Masters and Johnson created a powerful tool called the Triadic Model – the client has the support of both a therapist and a surrogate partner (or bodyworker). The professionals work as a team, and the client gets more support. Dr. Kaye and the Institute for Mind Body Therapy have expanded the Triadic Model to include other somatic practices (in addition to the previously included Surrogate Partners).
For therapists and counselors: You witness people's intimate lives every day. You hear your clients express feelings about sexuality and their deep desire to love and be loved. They often feel desperately touch-deprived. Adding a physical component can complement the psychological and emotional aspects of talk therapy.
For Somatic Practitioners: You too witness people's intimate lives, and hear about their feelings. The additional support of you working with their therapist can give your client more support for full emotional wellness and empowerment.
For those interested in becoming Surrogate Partners: Understanding the Triadic Model is the first step.
During this webinar, join Dr. Kaye and Dr. Martin as we explore partnering with others in supporting clients.

Betty Martin's Like A Pro – Oct. 7-10 IMBT's Collaboration Institute – Oct. 12-14
About Dr. Betty Martin
I'm Dr. Betty Martin, a Chiropractor, a Body Electric School trained Sacred Intimate, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Foundations of Facilitation trainer, and a self-propelled erotic adventurer and intimacy coach.
Every one of these and more has contributed to my understanding of the nature of touch.
I'm one of those lucky people who grew up in the touch-y feel-y hippie years. Then I got serious and went to Chiropractic school and learned to touch with some clear intent.
That makes about 30 years as a hands-on professional, first in therapeutics – Chiropractic, Somato-Respiratory Integration, Educational Kinesiology, Reiki, Neuro-Emotional Integration – and later in body-based erotic education, including sensual massage, Taoist Erotic Massage, Kashmiri tantric massage and Sexological Bodywork.
I've taught peer counseling, gender liberation, embodiment and empowerment, fantasy play, goddess awakening and erotic massage. I've played with contact improv dance, Authentic Movement, Non-Violent Communication and Shaivic tantra. I am a student of The Work of Byron Katie. I am a Board member and train and certify new facilitators for a touch and communication workshop called Cuddle Party.
Helping clients distinguish between the act and the energy of sex introduces possibilities for drawing on the power of their sexual energy to inform, spark and fuel other parts of their lives. Orgasm in particular is an excellent teacher — and can be used as a way to help people learn how to feel more in their daily lives, stay more alert and aware during times of chaos and intensity, and become more adept at surfing their own energetic highs and lows without perceiving them as "problems" that need fixing. This approach can be used by touch and talk practitioners alike to great effect. Tune in to find out more.
During this webinar, Dr. Kaye and Monica Day explore the transformative power of orgasm as metaphor.

While Democrats and the media are dragging Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh for his admitted drinking "too much" at times in school, it should be remembered that two Justices appointed by Democrat President Bill Clinton and approved by a Democrat controlled Senate, Stephen Breyer (1994) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1993) have their own history of alcohol troubles.
Advertisement - story continues below
Justice Ginsburg, with Justice Breyer to her immediate left, 'fell asleep' after drinking wine before President Obama's 2015 State of the Union address.
Justice Breyer, 80, was arrested for underage drinking when he went to Stanford in the 1950s reported the Washington Post back in 1994:
TRENDING: Nevada Governor Sisolak Found Hoarding Coronavirus Treatment Drug
"At Stanford, he had his share of high jinks, getting arrested at one point for underage drinking. But after four years, he had received just one B, which left him, in the words of a classmate, "distraught.""
Breyer spoke about the arrest to NPR in 2015

Transcript via the blog ieyenews.com:
"We were in a restaurant, which was where they used to sing opera and serve wine. It was called the Bocce Ball, I think. It was very nice. You'd go there, and I think I was 18—I was 18—but the drinking age was 21 and they'd give you a glass of wine and you'd sit there and listen to the opera singers from the San Francisco Opera and have a glass of wine. There was sawdust on the floor. It was very nice, it was a lovely place. … The police apparently raided this opera restaurant and arrested everybody in sight who looked under 21 and there we are, but they didn't proceed with it further and they sort of wiped out the arrest record."
Breyer's Wikipedia page has no mention of his arrest for underage drinking.
Justice Ginsburg, 85, spoke about 'falling asleep' at the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama in 2015 after drinking wine at dinner, brought by Justice Anthony Kennedy (!), in a joint appearance with Justice Antonin Scalia that was 'hosted by The Smithsonian Associates and moderated by NPR's Nina Totenberg' according to CNN.

Finally they got to the State of the Union. Earlier in the evening, Scalia had expressed his disdain for the event that he stopped attending years ago. And Ginsburg admitted, that once again, she fell asleep, "as I often do.""The audience for the most part is awake because they are bobbing up and down and we sit there, stone faced," she said. "But we're not, at least I was not 100% sober," she said to big applause. She blamed a fine wine Justice Kennedy had brought to dinner before hand."I vowed this year — just sparkling water—stay away from the wine — but the dinner was so delicious it needed wine."She said when she got home she got a call from one of her granddaughters. "She said, BUBIE, you were sleeping!"

As promised, here is the iTunes equalizer cheat which I've named ZapConquest after the guy that I got it from. I've said before that one of the things I don't like about iTunes is having to play with the equalizer settings to get the right sound. In my opinion the presets included in iTunes are crap. So here you go:
1. In the iTunes menu click on view then show equalizer. From the presets dropdown list select make preset. Then set your equalizer to the following settings:
Save your new setting as Zap Conquest. It will give credit where it's due, and it will also give the setting a unique name you can remember it by. Try it! Thank-you ZapConquest!

Jennifer Aniston Has Been Wearing This 1 Accessory For Decades
Contrary to what tabloids want us to believe, Jennifer Aniston isn't living in the past. She's starring in a new show with Reese Witherspoon this fall, and even seems to be on friendly terms with most of her exes. But one thing that that hasn't really changed about the actress over the years? Her style, and, more importantly, her accessories.
Jen has always preferred a simple look — jeans and tees are her bread and butter — but she'll often spice things up with the addition of a scarf. Sometimes she'll pair a knotted, blanket-like option with a warm winter coat, or will let a light, breezy something swing at her sides during the summer. Most recently, she completed a casual outfit with a classic printed scarf, which was quite the contrast from a fancy, sheer one she wore to the 2002 Emmy Awards (and yes, it looked good).
RELATED: Jennifer Aniston Has Been Using the Same $29 Lip Liner for 15 Years
It's possible Jen has compiled quite the impressive collection over the years, but since we'll probably never get to peek inside her closet (darn), we'll have to settle for seeing exactly how the star styles her go-to accessory.

ParaguayParaguay is fairly close to the size of California and landlocked in the middle of South America. Dividing the country is Rio Paraguay (Paraguay River). Most children attend school but less than half finish primary school, and only one-third of that number will continue to secondary school. Only 1 percent of Paraguayans attend college. Most Paraguayans are Roman Catholic, though various Protestant and other Christian churches exist as well.
Young Life in Paraguay was only an idea in 2007, but since then there has been significant development and growth in its capital, Asuncion. There is one person on staff and 14 volunteer leaders. Within the first year more than 35 kids were attending club regularly and 12 kids at small group Bible studies. This fall, the staff in Paraguay hope to start an additional club.

Regional cable TV and broadband distribution firm Ortel Communications Ltd has re-filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for its maiden public offering with market regulator SEBI. Private equity firm New Silk Route (NSR), which was earlier looking to part exit, has now offered to sell all its shares, which could mark its debut exit from a portfolio in India.
Ortel had previously looked at a public float around four years ago, when NSR was looking to exit completely. However, it did not go ahead with the IPO due to poor market conditions. Last year it had refiled its documents but later withdrew it.
Based out of Odisha, Ortel is promoted by the family of businessman-turned-MP from Biju Janata Dal, Jay Panda. It is looking to raise Rs 100-125 crore (around $20 million) through the fresh issue of shares besides offer for sale by NSR which is estimated to fetch around Rs 150-200 crore ($25-33 million).
Although NSR would double its investment value, given the long holding period it would pocket a modest internal rate of return (IRR) of 11-12 per cent, as per VCCircle estimates.
Ortel becomes the fourth firm to file for an IPO since the new government took over in May, the others being Lavasa Corp, Monte Carlo and Adlabs Entertainment.
Two firms floated their issue over the last one month: Sharda Cropchem and Snowman Logistics, both seeing 59x oversubscription. Snowman listed with a dream debut on Friday. Both Sharda Cropchem and Snowman Logistics were PE backed.
Here's a snapshot of the proposed issue
– Fresh issue of 6 million shares and offer for sale of 8.18 million shares by NSR.
- Company looking to raise a little over Rs 100 crore.
- Total equity dilution of 46.38 per cent, valuing the firm around $100 million.
- The promoters group currently owns 64 per cent stake in the company which will shrink to around 51 per cent.
- NSR owns 33.58 per cent and is looking to exit completely.
- May go for pre-IPO placement to raise up to Rs 65 crore.
- Kotak Mahindra Capital is managing the issue as against IDFC Capital and Equirus Capital who were the book running lead managers to the proposed issue last year.
- The company is engaged in distribution of analogue and digital cable television services, high speed broadband services and VoIP services.
- Operates in the states of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal. Its services are provided under the brand names Ortel Home Cable, Ortel Digital and Ortel Broadband.
- As on March 31, 2014, 88.02 per cent of its cable subscriber base was on its own 'last mile' network.
– It currently offers services in 48 towns and certain adjacent semi urban and rural areas with over 21,600 kilometres of cables supported by 34 analog head-ends and five digital head-ends.
- As of June 30, 2014, it had 3,88,115 retail subscribers for its analog cable television services, 74,213 retail subscribers for digital cable television services and 55,861 broadband retail subscribers.
- It plans deeper penetration in existing geographies and entry into new geographies analogue such as Madhya Pradesh.
- Push up the proportion of digital cable subscriber base, which brings higher margins, as also increase broadband users.
- It also plans to expand through buyout of network equipments, infrastructure and subscribers of other multi-system operators and local cable operators.
- Lease out fibre infrastructure to corporates.
Use of IPO proceeds
- Expansion of network for providing video, data and telephony services: Rs 73.6 crore.
- Capital expenditure on digital cable services: Rs 19.9 crore
- Capital expenditure on broadband services: Rs 10.3 crore.
- Besides general corporate purposes and issue expenses.
- Ortel's total income was Rs 121.6 crore with net loss of Rs 22.8 crore in FY12.
- For the year ended March 31, 2014, it had total income of Rs 132.16 crore with net loss of Rs 12.5 crore.
- For the year ended March 31, 2014, of its total revenues from operations, 58.89 per cent came from cable television subscription fees and 15.92 per cent from channel carriage fees.
Ortel's valuation & NSR's returns
The firm raised Rs 82.1 crore from New Silk Route in 2008, part of which was used to buy shares held by Actis Capital's South Asia Regional Fund. The rest, Rs 60 crore, was invested in the company through compulsorily convertible preference shares.
The last equity issue was made in July this year at Rs 140 a share. However, going by the net issue proceeds that the firm is looking to raise the issue price is expected around Rs 200 a share. This would allow PE investor NSR to double its investment value. But the six-year holding period means the PE firm would generate modest IRR of 11-12 per cent.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) February 02, 2017
Maritz Motivation Solutions has released The Future of Service Awards and Milestone Recognition, a new white paper that outlines the significance and impact of service awards, provides a checklist for HR practitioners to assess their current awards programs, and offers ways to make them more effective.
While research shows that service award and milestone recognition programs do have impact for employees, many programs miss opportunities to recognize younger workers, according to the paper. Programs typically begin with five-year anniversaries, and Millennials' average tenure with a company is 2.3 years, according to the Bureau of Labor statistics.
"Almost all organizations have some way of recognizing anniversary milestones; however, HR managers may be taking their impact for granted. Researchers have found milestone recognition programs have a strong causal impact on key engagement metrics like length of tenure, sense of belonging and positive feelings toward the organization," said Kimberly Abel-Lanier, VP and General Manager for CultureNext® at Maritz Motivation Solutions.
The white paper cites a study by Dr. Trent Kaufman which shows that companies offering a years of service award program retained employees an average of two to three years longer than companies without a program. According to the study, employees stayed at their previous company with a milestone program an average of 6.7 years, compared to 4.7 years at companies without a program.
"However, there is concern about how Millennials respond to milestone recognition programs. By 2020, Millennials will make up 50% of the workforce. With many programs offering the first milestone award at five years, the question is whether Millennials will stay with an organization long enough to be recognized," Abel-Lanier said.
She said the first step for HR practitioners is to evaluate whether their programs meet standards for best practices, by asking these five questions:
- Does the program have clearly defined goals and objectives?
- Are expectations for employee and manager participation clear?
- Is receiving a milestone award from your organization a personal, memorable experience?
- Do employees want the gifts they receive at milestone anniversaries?
- Do service awards create and reinforce connections for employees to their sense of purpose and the impact of their contributions to your organization?
Beyond basic best practices, Abel-Lanier said that for service award and milestone recognition programs to be effective, it is crucial for HR practitioners to adapt programs to fulfill new expectations of meaningful awards among Millennials and Gen Z. She offers these tips to revitalize your programs:
- Implement early milestone recognition. Milestone programs that begin recognizing anniversaries beginning at five years miss significant opportunities to include, engage and retain younger workers. Consider acknowledging contributions beginning at year one with mini-milestone awards in high-turnover organizations, as well as at year three.
- Focus on your company's legacy. Culture is important in today's business environment. Incorporating your company's legend, story, tradition and meaning in the way milestone awards are given can enhance the internal perception of service awards.
- Ask employees how they want to be recognized. Ask employees how they feel about existing years-of-service programs or if recently recognized employees have suggestions for improving the experience. Incorporate social media sharing to give employees the opportunity to be recognized by their friends and connections online.

5 Benefits of Group Therapy
For many people "group therapy can be more powerful and mutative than individual therapy," according to Judye Hess, Ph.D, a clinical psychologist who has a private practice with couples, families and groups in Berkeley, Calif.
There are many types of group therapy. As Irvin D. Yalom, M.D., writes in The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy (now in its fifth edition), "The multiplicity of forms is so evident today that it is best not to speak of group therapy but of the many group therapies."
Psychotherapist Ali Miller, MFT, who also specializes in working with couples and groups, identified the various types: Some groups focus on interpersonal learning. Members talk about how they feel in relation to each other. In support groups, members focus more on what's happening in their lives outside the group.
Miller leads what she calls "hybrid groups." "[T]here is encouragement to both talk about your life outside the group and also to talk about the dynamics within the group."
There also are psychoeducational groups, where a clinician teaches members specific skills, such as anger management or dialectical behavioral therapy.
"What I think they all have in common is people coming together, under the leadership of a trained group therapist, to work on improving their lives in one way or another," said Miller who leads groups in San Francisco and Berkeley, Calif.
Groups typically consist of four to 10 people and meet weekly for 90 minutes, said Hess. They can be as brief as several months or last as long as five to 10 years, she said.
So why is group therapy so helpful?

What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural extract from the Hemp plant. The Hemp plant is a close-cousin of the cannabis plant and has very low amounts of THC, the part that gives a "high".
CBD and other Cannabinoids have been used for years around the worls as a natural remedy for various different reasons.
Yes CBD is legal and no it won't get me "High"!
In the UK, CBD products are legal so long as they contain less than 0.2% of THC.
Not all products from the Cannabis plant are illegal and if consumed can be beneficial.
THC in the above stated amounts has no psychoactive effects.
Is it safe to use?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is widely considered to be safe, CBD has been consumed for many years around the world.
CBD is not a medicine and should not be considered to be one, just like any other food supplement.
Will I fail a drugs test if I take CBD?
CBD products sold in the UK must contain only trace amounts of THC (this is the element that a Drugs Test focusses on) you would have to consume a large volume to fail a drugs test.
Can you overdose on CBD?
No. CBD is non-toxic and no fatal overdose levels have been reported. The conclusion from studies is that CBD is well tolerated at levels greater than the average person would need.
What are the beneficial properties of CBD?
People take Cannabidiol (CBD) to manage a vast range of conditions. Due to the current classification of CBD as a food supplement, we are not allowed to give any specific advice or make any medical claims
What is % strength or mg?
mg = milligram(s) is the amount of CBD in the product in total, % strength is the percentage of CBD in the product in total
% Strength is calculated using the below formula and is based on a 5% 500mg 10 ml CBD oil.
Volume: (1ml = 1000mg) Bottle size is 10ml so 1000*10 = 10,000mg
500mg (active ingredient CBD)
500/10,000 = 0.05 or 5%
Some companies may put the same amount of CBD in a larger bottle e.g 30ml. Giving you a weaker product as can be seen below: -
500/30,000 = 0.0167 or 1.67%
This means you would have to take 3 times the amount in millilitres (ml) to get the same amount of CBD.
A 10ml 500mg CBD product would be a much stronger product per ml than a 30ml 500mg CBD product.
A 10ml 5% CBD product would be the same strength product per ml to a 30ml 5% CBD product
Potential adverse effects and drug interactions?
The NHS have a useful Q&A article and document to highlight any possible adverse effects or interactions with prescribed or other medicines.
Please seek advice from your GP or consultant if you need to before using any products you are not sure about.
