Sports betting is officially legal in New Jersey, after Gov. Phil Murphy signed Assembly Bill 4111 that will allow the state's racetracks and casinos to offer wagers from Thursday.
Murphy stated on Twitter: "We're finally making the dream of legalized sports betting a reality for New Jersey. This is the right move for our state and will strengthen our economy."
Revenues from sports betting at casinos and racetracks will be taxed at 8.5 per cent, with online revenues taxed at 13 per cent.
All Atlantic City casinos can offer sports betting, though Golden Nugget would be banned from taking bets on NBA games, since owner Tilman Fertitta owns the Houston Rockets.
Borgata said it plans to go live immediately, while Monmouth Park plans to launch at 10:30 a.m. Thursday. Online betting can start in 30 days' time.
Sports leagues didn't get any of their requests for integrity fees or the sharing of data between leagues and sports books. Source: Fantini's Gaming Report

Robert Fraser, on this campsite in September 2018
Travelling party: Couple
Reasons to visit this site
it\'s close to the ferry terminal
it\'s close to Cherbourg
Reasons not to visit this site
Very loud road noise
site is really a workers static site now
no hot water in showers
no toilet roll in any stall ladies or gents
security barrier not operational
site very tired and run down
smelly fish factory right next door
Site did not accept the ACSI card despite being on latest download.
I would say the site falls far short of a ACSI standard site
Decide for yourself we will not be returning despite the convenience for the ferry.
John McAloney, on this campsite in June 2015
Travelling party: Couple
A site that is maintained to a very high standard , pitches are a good size , the staff are excellent very well mannered and keen to help even if you can not speak French. There is a small shop on site and they take fresh bread orders for collection next morning. The restaurant is vey clean and pleasing to the eye again the staff are superb, excellent customer focus. We stayed there 2015 at start and finish off our trip. We plan to stay there summer of 2016 , this time for 2 weeks and use it as base. It's outstanding and the views out to sea are great. It's set in a lovely area the only down side is poor mobile telephone signal , there again your on holiday. The site is good value for money.

Concept: Opioid overdose
Increases in Drug and Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths - United States, 2010-2015
- MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report
- Published about 3 years ago
- Discuss
The U.S. opioid epidemic is continuing, and drug overdose deaths nearly tripled during 1999-2014. Among 47,055 drug overdose deaths that occurred in 2014 in the United States, 28,647 (60.9%) involved an opioid (1). Illicit opioids are contributing to the increase in opioid overdose deaths (2,3). In an effort to target prevention strategies to address the rapidly changing epidemic, CDC examined overall drug overdose death rates during 2010-2015 and opioid overdose death rates during 2014-2015 by subcategories (natural/semisynthetic opioids, methadone, heroin, and synthetic opioids other than methadone).* Rates were stratified by demographics, region, and by 28 states with high quality reporting on death certificates of specific drugs involved in overdose deaths. During 2015, drug overdoses accounted for 52,404 U.S. deaths, including 33,091 (63.1%) that involved an opioid. There has been progress in preventing methadone deaths, and death rates declined by 9.1%. However, rates of deaths involving other opioids, specifically heroin and synthetic opioids other than methadone (likely driven primarily by illicitly manufactured fentanyl) (2,3), increased sharply overall and across many states. A multifaceted, collaborative public health and law enforcement approach is urgently needed. Response efforts include implementing the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain (4), improving access to and use of prescription drug monitoring programs, enhancing naloxone distribution and other harm reduction approaches, increasing opioid use disorder treatment capacity, improving linkage into treatment, and supporting law enforcement strategies to reduce the illicit opioid supply.

From 2015 to 2016, opioid overdose deaths increased 27.7%, indicating a worsening of the opioid overdose epidemic and highlighting the importance of rapid data collection, analysis, and dissemination.
Characteristics of Fentanyl Overdose - Massachusetts, 2014-2016
- MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report
- Published almost 3 years ago
- Discuss
Opioid overdose deaths in Massachusetts increased 150% from 2012 to 2015 (1). The proportion of opioid overdose deaths in the state involving fentanyl, a synthetic, short-acting opioid with 50-100 times the potency of morphine, increased from 32% during 2013-2014 to 74% in the first half of 2016 (1-3). In April 2015, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and CDC reported an increase in law enforcement fentanyl seizures in Massachusetts, much of which was believed to be illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF) (4). To guide overdose prevention and response activities, in April 2016, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner collaborated with CDC to investigate the characteristics of fentanyl overdose in three Massachusetts counties with high opioid overdose death rates. In these counties, medical examiner charts of opioid overdose decedents who died during October 1, 2014-March 31, 2015 were reviewed, and during April 2016, interviews were conducted with persons who used illicit opioids and witnessed or experienced an opioid overdose. Approximately two thirds of opioid overdose decedents tested positive for fentanyl on postmortem toxicology. Evidence for rapid progression of fentanyl overdose was common among both fatal and nonfatal overdoses. A majority of interview respondents reported successfully using multiple doses of naloxone, the antidote to opioid overdose, to reverse suspected fentanyl overdoses. Expanding and enhancing existing opioid overdose education and prevention programs to include fentanyl-specific messaging and practices could help public health authorities mitigate adverse effects associated with overdoses, especially in communities affected by IMF.
Opioid overdose prevention and naloxone rescue kits: what we know and what we don't know
- Addiction science & clinical practice
- Published about 3 years ago
- Discuss
The opioid use and overdose crisis is persistent and dynamic. Opioid overdoses were initially driven in the 1990s and 2000s by the increasing availability and misuse of prescription opioids. More recently, opioid overdoses are increasing at alarming rates due to wider use of heroin, which in some places is mixed with fentanyl or fentanyl derivatives. Naloxone access for opioid overdose rescue is one of the US Department of Health and Human Services' three priority areas for responding to the opioid crisis. This article summarizes the known benefits of naloxone access and details unanswered questions about overdose education and naloxone rescue kits. Hopefully future research will address these knowledge gaps, improve the effectiveness of opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution programs, and unlock the full promise of naloxone rescue kits.
Is systematic training in opioid overdose prevention effective?
The objectives were to analyze the knowledge about overdose prevention, the use of naloxone, and the number of fatal overdoses after the implementation of Systematic Training in Overdose Prevention (STOOP) program. We conducted a quasi-experimental study, and held face-to-face interviews before (n = 725) and after (n = 722) implementation of systematic training in two different samples of people who injected opioids attending harm reduction centers. We asked participants to list the main causes of overdose and the main actions that should be taken when witnessing an overdose. We created two dependent variables, the number of (a) correct and (b) incorrect answers. The main independent variable was Study Group: Intervention Group (IG), Comparison Group (CG), Pre-Intervention Group With Sporadic Training in Overdose Prevention (PREIGS), or Pre-Intervention Group Without Training in Overdose Prevention (PREIGW). The relationship between the dependent and independent variables was assessed using a multivariate Poisson regression analysis. Finally, we conducted an interrupted time series analysis of monthly fatal overdoses before and after the implementation of systematic program during the period 2006-2015. Knowledge of overdose prevention increased after implementing systematic training program. Compared to the PREIGW, the IG gave more correct answers (IRR = 1.40;95%CI:1.33-1.47), and fewer incorrect answers (IRR = 0.33;95%CI:0.25-0.44). Forty percent of people who injected opioids who received a naloxone kit had used the kit in response to an overdose they witnessed. These courses increase knowledge of overdose prevention in people who use opioids, give them the necessary skills to use naloxone, and slightly diminish the number of fatal opioid overdoses in the city of Barcelona.
Overdose prevention training with naloxone distribution in a prison in Oslo, Norway: a preliminary study
- Harm reduction journal
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
Prison inmates face a ten times increased risk of experiencing a fatal drug overdose during their first 2 weeks upon release than their non-incarcerated counterparts. Naloxone, the antidote to an opioid overdose, has been shown to be feasible and effective when administered by bystanders. Given the particular risk that newly released inmates face, it is vital to assess their knowledge about opioid overdoses, as well as the impact of brief overdose prevention training conducted inside prisons.
Use of Naloxone by Emergency Medical Services during Opioid Drug Overdose Resuscitation Efforts
Naloxone administration is an important component of resuscitation attempts by emergency medical services (EMS) for opioid drug overdoses. However, EMS providers must first recognize the possibility of opioid overdose in clinical encounters. As part of a public health response to an outbreak of opioid overdoses in Rhode Island, we examined missed opportunities for naloxone administration and factors potentially influencing EMS providers' decision to administer naloxone. We reviewed medical examiner files on all individuals who died of an opioid-related drug overdose in Rhode Island from January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014, underwent attempted resuscitation by EMS providers, and had records available to assess for naloxone administration. We evaluated whether these individuals received naloxone as part of their resuscitation efforts and compared patient and scene characteristics of those who received naloxone to those who did not receive naloxone via chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression analyses. One hundred and twenty-four individuals who underwent attempted EMS resuscitation died due to opioid overdose. Naloxone was administered during EMS resuscitation attempts in 82 (66.1%) of cases. Females were nearly three-fold as likely not to receive naloxone as males (OR 2.9; 95% CI 1.2-7.0; p-value 0.02). Additionally, patients without signs of potential drug abuse also had a greater than three-fold odds of not receiving naloxone (OR 3.3; 95% CI 1.2-9.2; p-value 0.02). Older individuals, particularly those over age 50, were more likely not to receive naloxone than victims younger than age 30 (OR 4.8; 95% CI 1.3-17.4; p-value 0.02). Women, older individuals, and those patients without clear signs of illicit drug abuse, were less likely to receive naloxone in EMS resuscitation attempts. Heightened clinical suspicion for opioid overdose is important given the recent increase in overdoses among patients due to prescription opioids.
Lay responder naloxone access and Good Samaritan law compliance: postcard survey results from 20 Indiana counties
- Harm reduction journal
- Published almost 2 years ago
- Discuss
To reduce fatal drug overdoses, two approaches many states have followed is to pass laws expanding naloxone access and Good Samaritan protections for lay persons with high likelihood to respond to an opioid overdose. Most prior research has examined attitudes and knowledge among lay responders in large metropolitan areas who actively use illicit substances. The present study addresses current gaps in knowledge related to this issue through an analysis of data collected from a broader group of lay responders who received naloxone kits from 20 local health departments across Indiana.
Community Readiness to Prevent Opioid Overdose
- Health promotion practice
- Published about 2 years ago
- Discuss
Effective community-based actions are urgently needed to combat the ongoing epidemic of opioid overdose. Community readiness (CR) has been linked to communities' support for collective action, which in turn has been associated with the success of community-wide prevention strategies and resulting behavior change. Our study, conducted in North Carolina, assessed the relationship between CR and two indices of opioid overdose. County-level data included a survey of health directors that assessed CR to address drug overdose prevention programs, surveillance measures of opioid overdose collected from death records and emergency departments, and two indicators of general health-related status. We found that counties' rates of CR were positively associated with their opioid-related mortality (but not morbidity) and that this relationship persisted when we controlled for health status. North Carolina counties with the highest opioid misuse problems appear to be the most prepared to respond to them.
Revisiting the Role of the Urban Environment in Substance Use: The Case of Analgesic Overdose Fatalities
- American journal of public health
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
Objectives. We examined whether neighborhood social characteristics (income distribution and family fragmentation) and physical characteristics (clean sidewalks and dilapidated housing) were associated with the risk of fatalities caused by analgesic overdose. Methods. In a case-control study, we compared 447 unintentional analgesic opioid overdose fatalities (cases) with 3436 unintentional nonoverdose fatalities and 2530 heroin overdose fatalities (controls) occurring in 59 New York City neighborhoods between 2000 and 2006. Results. Analgesic overdose fatalities were less likely than nonoverdose unintentional fatalities to have occurred in higher-income neighborhoods (odds ratio [OR] = 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.70, 0.96) and more likely to have occurred in fragmented neighborhoods (OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.05, 1.72). They were more likely than heroin overdose fatalities to have occurred in higher-income (OR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.12, 1.54) and less fragmented (OR = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.55, 0.92) neighborhoods. Conclusions. Analgesic overdose fatalities exhibit spatial patterns that are distinct from those of heroin and nonoverdose unintentional fatalities. Whereas analgesic fatalities typically occur in lower-income, more fragmented neighborhoods than nonoverdose fatalities, they tend to occur in higher-income, less unequal, and less fragmented neighborhoods than heroin fatalities.

So the endless recovery – tm — comes with a load of depression. I've been assured this is normal (oh, no. Tell me it's abnormal. At least I'll feel like I'm unique.)
Part of the way depression manifests in me as thinking everything I do is bad, and everything and everyone around me is tarnished by my incompetence, and…
Yes, I do know what part is real and what part is Memorex, because being me requires me to spend an enormous amount of time watching myself and making sure I'm not telling myself stories. Because it's so easy to do.
I have been thinking of that – for obvious reasons – because of the whole "drinking your own ink" effect of our elites, and also because I'm thinking of stories in relation to culture and how to change culture with stories, and how that is in fact the only way to change it in the long run.
Not that the culture is ever exactly like the stories. I mean, look, if you don't believe me go read a bio of Leonardo Da Vinci from the Renaissance, one from the Victorian age and one from our own time. You'll see the gloss that was "approved" at the time. (It is common to blame Victorians for doing this, but every culture does it. Ours delights in picking on scabs and trying to bring geniuses down to our pedestrian level.)
Part of what's fueling the depression is that I really want to write, but even doing these posts makes me nauseated. I think that is partly the effort of thinking through painkillers and partly the fact that I bet my astigmatism has changed completely yet again (the sort of seasick nausea is typical of when my astigmatism is out of whack.) This is to be expected since it changes with every hormonal shift and has been in continuous change the last two years – so bad I can only drive for a month or two after new glasses – and there's nothing to be done there, because I am not going to get new glasses until April 30th to make sure I'm past all of it, because I can't afford to. So. So I'll have to bite the bullet.
Anyway, so instead of writing, because I can't force myself to sleep all the time, I'm watching a lot of documentaries while sitting on a recliner. If you want the full horror of this you should shashay over to mad genius club, where I describe some of the gems.
But the documentary I watched tonight is about the terracotta army, which was apparently built by the first emperor, a tyrannical warlord that conquered China by the force of arms.
Note that one of the things he did first (and a lot of his successors did) was burn books and forbid grannies to tell stories. This means he knew the importance of stories, and when he was making a country out of many warrying states, he wanted to make sure the only tales were the ones he allowed.
The other thing was the terracotta army. I don't know how widespread belief in an after life was in China at that time, but it clearly existed, and he believed in it enough to conscript hundreds of thousands to build him an army to protect him after death.
None of us has been there. We might have experienced supernatural (I have) but these things are possible of other explanations. So what he believed in, heart and soul (and fortune) was a story. A story that (probably) turned out to be wrong (unless there are realms where those terracotta warriors mean something.)
The Egyptian elite did something similar.
I don't want you to consider it (just) from the point of view of drinking your own ink, though both of these were insular cultures that considered themselves superior to every other. But I don't want to mock even their religious beliefs, simply because that is a realm where none of us can say we know how others are dealt with or in what way things are arranged. Yes, I know what I believe, but I have friends who believe vastly differently, and Himself up there, if He's there, is a multidimensional time-ignoring creature and who wants to second guess Him? Or who can even approximate His thoughts?
No. What I want you to think about are these powerful rulers, facing the ultimate oblivion. And all that stands between them and the eternal is ultimately a thin veneer of story.
Enough story to conscript massive resources he could have better employed.
Faith? I wouldn't call it that.
He didn't go willingly, precisely. He wanted to live forever, which seems to be a peculiar Chinese madness.
But he needed that story to take him into the darkness.
And he knew the power of stories because he burned the stories that opposed them.
For decades now, our gatekeepers have been involved in an attempt to forge a people without past (or future) by metaphorically destroying or making inaccessible all the stories that don't support the narrative they want us to believe. News, History, Stories, even religion, they've tried to deprive us of all of them (one of these is the however many ways to die in the west, which is trying to destroy our idea of the old west as a land of heroes.)
And now we have the internet.
I don't know how long the freedom will last (I would bet it will be restored, if it fails) but I know they're trying to clamp down on it already.
I also know the more widespread the use of these free means of communication, in story and news, in history and eventually perhaps in movie, too, the harder for them to snuff it out fully.
So run like the wind my friends, and sow story to the winds in all your voices.
To change a culture in a short time (and they're betting on a short time) they need that single focus. They need to "burn" everything they disagree with, by either making inaccessible or discrediting it.
Read the forbidden. It puts hair on your chest and gives the SJWs the vapors (not that this is difficult.)
Stay free.

What do I love about Fall? Pumpkin spice lattes (how cliché), homemade soup, and super cute jackets for layering! What I hate about Fall? That it's next to Winter, lol! But let's focus on the positive. Fall equals coats and coats equal the one classic you should own in your closet right now. The trench coat. And if you don't own the trench coat, um why not? It's such an essential layering piece and literally screams "this girl is classy!", lol!
But, for real, the trench is a staple for Fall. And, if you don't own one yet, that's okay! I've rounded up my favourite 6 draped trench coats. Which is kind of like a cross between a duster and a trench! Which I think is so fab! It's so easy to style. Think over basically anything in your closet. Whether that's a pair of jeans and converses, trousers and heels or a midi and sandals! Check out my list below and tell me when one is your fave:

Complete step-by-step checklist guide for South Africans planning a move to Australia.
24 months before moving to Australia• Plan a visit to Australia to help decide which city you want to live in. There's nothing quite like an in-the-flesh experience to meet the people, experience the sights and sounds, and see other factors like lifestyle, traffic, houses, recreational facilities, and culture.• Announce your intentions to your family and friends.• Investigate your visa options and start preparing a visa application. Remember, some visas can take up to 2 years to be granted. Speak to a New World Immigration consultant about this.
18 months before moving to Australia• Prepare a budget, including paying off your existing debts and arriving with Australian money in your back pocket.• Depending on your Australian visa choice, submit the application. Collate all your documents such as birth and marriage certificate, references, qualifications etc. You will need these for your visa application. Note: each visa requires different items, so be sure to look through the ENTIRE application as there can be some hidden requirements.
12 months before moving to Australia• Start investing renting or buying a house in Australia, including the likelihood and processes around selling your existing home (if applicable).• Start networking with Australian companies in your country, or investigate opportunities in Australia with your current employer.• Check your passports to ensure their validity exceeds 2 years.
10 months before moving to Australia• Put your house on the market (if applicable).• Find what you need to do in order to move your pets (if applicable).
8 months before moving to Australia• Research flights to Australia.• Start applying for jobs in Australia.
6 months before moving to Australia• If you have kids, inform their schools of your intentions to move to Australia (this has particular significance when moving to Australia from the UK, as the Australian school year runs from January to December and the 6 month difference in curriculum should be planned for).• Research potential schools/universities for your children (if applicable).• Contact your pension companies to assess whether to transfer your pension(s) to pensions or superannuation's funds Australia or not.• Get quotes from freight and shipping companies to move your possessions.• Apply for any required police clearances as it can take up to 3 months (some visas require you to submit these with the application and you may require it for certain professions such as teaching).• Research the cost of living in Australia so that you can revise your budget with greater accuracy.
4 months before moving to Australia• Get your medical/health check done (some visas require you to submit these with the application, though they only have a 1 year validity).
3 months before moving to Australia• Book your flights to Australia.• Apply for an Australian bank account.• Obtain credit references from your bank.• Commence the conversation with your employer that you intend to move to Australia (some employers require 3 months notice, but it's just courteous to give them ample time to hire your replacement and for you to help train them).
Two months before moving to Australia• Pack boxes and ship your possessions to Australia.• Start looking work in Australia (sign up with Recruitment agencies in Australia).• Book temporary accommodation for the first week or so (or ask any friends if you are able to stay with them).• Book a hire car for your first few weeks in Australia.• Register your kids at their chosen schools.• Arrange for your pets to be sent to Australia.
One month before moving to Australia• Resign from your job.• Give notice on your rental lease and find a replacement for your room/flat/house (if applicable).• Commence work handover.• Remove your name from utility bills and council tax.• Give notice on other financial obligations, such as your mobile phone and gym contract.• Make arrangements with your bank to close accounts and pay off any debts.• Cancel any insurance policies you might have.• Cancel all future direct debits and stop orders.• Sell your unwanted furniture and appliances.• Confirm your flights to Australia bookings.• Obtain a no claims bonus form from your insurer — this could save you hundreds of dollars a year on house and car insurance in Australia.• List your car in the classifieds or engage with a dealer to sell it.
3 weeks before moving to Australia• If you have one, send a forwarding address to all your contacts and arrange for a re-direction of your post.• Prepare a list of all the companies from whom you receive mail and either cancel, forward to Australia or opt in to paperless statements.• Plan your farewells.
2 weeks before moving to Australia• Get work reference.• Get a landlord reference, if renting.• Start packing up the rest of your possessions (and disposing of those which you don't want).
1 week before moving to Australia• Sort out your tax refund and P45.• Farewell gatherings.• Organise transport to the airport.• Cancel your car insurance.• Arrange for a money transfer to Australia.
Moving to Australia day• Finalise packing, especially if you have kids.• Ensure you have your tickets and passports.

Black Filas? Fila Brasileiros
(Article from MM1 page 55, 1981) - C. Habig, Translated by A. Luciani
As not only in Brazil there are heavy discussions about the black dogs, which according to their pedigree are Fila Brasileiro, but also in the meantime such a black dog has been exported to Germany the question about black Fila is prevailing. The Molosser Magazine will go into details of the colour of the Fila at length in later editions. For now at least some details of the colour of the Fila should be provided.
Fila Brasileiro Standard
According to the standard all colours -excepting pure white- are allowed with the Fila. Paulo Santos Cruz has elucidated in multiple articles that he knows Filas in every colour, but he has not seen until now a true black Fila in his life. To get again the topical opinion of this unchallanged connoisseur, a Brazilian fellow worker of the M.M. has on my request thoroughly phoned to Dr. Paulo Santos Cruz during mid-march 1981. Result of the interview : Black Filas are absolutely not to be excluded but Santos Cruz himself has never bred black Filas and in his forty years of establishing his work never saw one ! Cruz doesn't know of the past any pure black Fila ! For the present time the founder of the breed says : « In my opinion the black dogs emerging today with a Fila pedigree are mongrels ».
The Black Fila Myth Explained
People who are well informed know that in « Pronunciamento oficial do Brasil Kennel Club sobre a Raca Fila Brasileiro » of September 1979, Santos Cruz was said to have himself bred a black Fila, namely « Zumbi Do Parnapuan » with the registration number KCP In.1263, born on July, 10th 1957. Sometimes the date of birth is stated to be July 10th 1950. Paulo Santo Cruz said in the above stated phone call : « When I started breeding Filas, I had a litter under the name of my Dobermann-Kennel Cadiz Y Cadiz. After that my Kennel Parnapuan started with the letter « A » there was no Z litter in those years ! » When I read the publication, I asked CBKC twice to get the pedigree, but have not seen it still today.
Fila Brasileiro
This information is important. To the special judge of the Fila Brasileiro this means that the black dogs introduced as Filas have to be examined with extraordinary diligence on the potential distinguishing marks of a different breed - especially Danish Doggue (Great Dane) and Mastino Napolitano.

MEA receives extradition request from CBI for Mehul Choksi
New Delhi, Aug 3: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has reportedly received extradition request for fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi and the ministry is in the process of forwarding it to authorities in Antigua. Choksi took citizenship in Antigua in November last year.
Earlier today, the Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) of Antigua had stated that Choksi was considered a "fit and proper candidate" for citizenship after Indian government agencies cleared him last year and said there was "no adverse information" against him.
After getting Antiguan passport, Choksi had fled India on January 4 this year and took oath of allegiance in Antigua on January 15, 2018.
The CBI got confirmation from the authorities in Antigua that Choksi is in their country. Further CBI sources earlier told OneIndia that the extradition process would begin soon.
The fugitive diamond businessman is accused of perpetrating the biggest banking fraud in India.
Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi are wanted in the Rs 13,578-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case, which is now being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate.

BMI & BMR Calculator
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of a person's weight with respect to his or her height. It is more of an indicator than a direct measurement of a person's total body fat.
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the minimum level of energy required to sustain vital functions such as breathing, digestion, and circulation—all of the bodily functions that happen beyond your control.

When an acquaintance of mine hired a personal trainer to help enforce his diet and exercise regimen, the results were impressive. Still, I can't help wondering how long his svelte new figure will last. Based on my own experience with middle-age spread, I wouldn't be at all surprised if two years from now his spare tire is back.
But I would be very surprised to see my friend's weight loss continue to the point that he becomes excessively thin. After all, for every Kate Moss who declares that "food is boring," there are thousands of us who rank eating way up there in terms of short-term gratification (No. 2 for me. How about you?). My point is, being overweight and being underweight are not equally difficult problems to fix. Dealing with one requires that you resist temptation. Dealing with the other requires only that you give in.
Why am I telling you this? To explain why I cannot take seriously the pronouncements, which we hear more and more often from Wall Street gurus, that the age of inflation has given way to a new age of deflation in which prices will fall more often than they will rise. There's surface plausibility in these claims: Inflation has more or less steadily trended downward since about 1980. And now, mainly because of the rising dollar and the crisis in Asia, the prices of quite a few goods (but not services) are falling. To some analysts, this looks like the beginning of a period in which excess capacity and global competition will consistently push prices downward--in other words, an era of deflation to match the inflationary '60s and '70s. But I don't believe it--because deflation, like being underweight (and unlike inflation), tends to be a relatively easy problem to fix.
Consider why we had an inflation problem in the first place. Milton Friedman once said, "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon." Like many of Friedman's dictums, this is too simple an explanation but mainly right. Prices have almost always and everywhere risen, not fallen, during the past 50 years because governments have encouraged money supplies to expand faster than the production of goods and services. Why? Increasing the money supply, like eating too much dessert, feels good while you're doing it. It produces an initial period of economic exhilaration, low unemployment, and rising profits. The bill comes later--and if a politician is lucky, during the next guy's Administration. Then, curbing inflation tends to be painful. The big disinflation in the U.S. in the early '80s, when inflation went from 9% to the 4% range, was accompanied by a severe recession and prolonged high unemployment. Of course, we chose to accept the pain. But it didn't come easy. In fact, the rehabilitation wouldn't have been possible if we hadn't retained the services of a tough personal trainer, a fellow named Paul Volcker.
So far, the results of our economic fitness program have endured. Indeed, keeping the weight off seems to have gotten easier over time, at least in the U.S., where wage increases have remained surprisingly subdued despite tight labor markets. But while our economy may be less inflation-prone than it used to be, this is no reason to believe that deflation is about to become a problem. After all, if you start to get too skinny, there's an easy answer: Just relax and enjoy life a little. In fact, Coach Greenspan, concluding that America's metabolism has increased, has lately been cutting his client some slack, letting the economy boom for a while without raising interest rates. This is why our unemployment rate is at a 25-year low.
Granted, there have been epochs of deflation in the past. But the more you know about them, the less relevant they seem to the modern world. For example, there was sustained deflation in the late 19th century. That was because we were on the gold standard, and the supply of gold couldn't keep up with rising world output. There was also a short but vicious spell of deflation in the early 1930s. The U.S. banking system collapsed then, thanks in large part to the eerie passivity of the Fed in the face of a financial panic. Other countries didn't have to follow us down, but because they insisted on staying with gold, they did. Really, I can't see anything in today's world producing sustained 19th-century-type deflation. And a 1931-style collapse would require not only that everything that can go wrong actually does, but also that Alan Greenspan and his German counterparts behave with completely uncharacteristic stupidity.
I don't care how bad the news from South Korea gets or what happens to next month's producer price index. I'd still find it hard to imagine a world in which deflation becomes a trend. While Asia's woes may put temporary downward pressure on the prices of some goods, we are mainly a service economy--and anyway, Greenspan can handle any short-run deflationary pressure by serving us an extra monetary helping or two. On the other hand, if someone offered me an option on the possibility of a return to, say, 4% inflation three years from now, I'd be prepared to buy it on general principles. No matter how much we vow to battle indulgence, that extra dessert is all too tempting. In fact, I think I'm ready for a snack right now.

Whenever you are having one of those days where it seems no matter what you do things seem to be going in the wrong direction…that is a good sign that you are actually moving in the right direction!
I'm often reminded of my ups and downs and turn arounds when I reflect on where I was to where I am today. Maybe you can relate? There have been so many people that have helped me to achieve success in life and business.
Anthony Robbins is one of those that have had a huge impact on my success in life and business. He is the most visible of all life coaches. This is because he uses his unique perspective on life fulfillment and success to help others find both. Through his self-help approach, he also focuses on assisting others to be intentional in their decision making as well as increase their awareness.
In his latest book, MONEY Master the Game – 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom, he applies his inspiring techniques to show you how you can achieve success in your life and business.
These 7 steps include:
#1 – Read
For starters, Anthony Robbins recommends you read on a daily basis. According to him, reading is a valuable habit that can help you achieve success both in your life and in your finances/business.
Of course, you shouldn't just read anything. He recommends that you find something of value and substance, is nourishing, will teach you distinctions, and lead you to the success you are looking for.
Reading can help you focus on your goals while simultaneously building fiscal value, skills, and knowledge. This search is central to achieving a life of fulfillment as well as business success.
#2 – Embody Habits of Certainty
If you view uncertainty as one of the facts of your life, you need to change this opinion. This is because it might negatively affect both your life and your business. Instead, you should take certainty as a habit that you can creates success in your life and business and everything will start shifting in your favor.
You should also take advantage of the uncertainty in the general public by ensuring that it does not stop you from taking action. Even when you feel uncertain and take the actions that you know are right, you are more likely than not to achieve your goals.
#3 – Practice Healthy Money Habits
Third, you should ensure that your relationship with money is a healthy one. Instead of focusing on financial problems, therefore, you should create new healthy rituals to improve your financial standing.
This means you should have a financial plan, reduce your spending, and pay yourself first. If possible, invest in professional financial help and focus on the investments you are sure will provide you with sufficient growth.
#4 – Visualize
For you to succeed in life and business, you must practice the art of visualization. In particular, you should visualize all your goals – if only to help you stay focused on them. Envision a life of wealth and abundance in terms of economics, growth, impact, friendships, love, and more and they will come true.
#5 – Give Back
Giving back is a central principle that you must embody if you are to succeed. From helping people you love to being there for strangers, help can only come from people who are abundantly blessed. Therefore, you should always try to help others and give back to those who might be in need more than you are.
#6 – Ask Better Questions
According to Anthony Robbins, wealth and successful people tend to ask questions – not just any questions but better questions. This allows them to find the best answers. Some questions to ask include:
– How can I help people improve their lives?
– How can I make things a bit better?
– What difference I am making?
These questions, among others, will help you create the right strategies to provide the right answers. In the process, you will start making a real difference both in your life and in your business.
#7 – Choose the Right People and Partners
According to Anthony Robbins, when you choose the right people and partners, you can achieve more success and create higher value. This is particularly true for romantic relationships and in your business life.
The biggest mistakes you can make in business is picking the wrong partner, failing to understand what they need or want out of the situation, and deluding yourself and diverting your goals and plans in the process.
On the other hand, if you have the right people around you, it might have a positive impact both in your ability to live a better life and achieve greater success in your financial and business worlds.
Overall, the above steps can help you succeed in life and in business. As long as you follow the advice that Anthony Robbins provides, it shouldn't be hard for you to start seeing a major shift in your levels of success. Get started today and enjoy the positive outcomes.

From the turquoise waters of the lake Monteynard to the summit of L'Obiou, the Trièves shows off its multiple facets. Situated at the far South of the Isère department, the Trièves brings together in an astounding way alpine landscapes and the climate of neighbouring Provence. Passing through mountain passes from either the north or the south, and you'll be awestruck… this is the Trièves.
Triéves: a natural state of mind, whether on the earth, in the air, on the water, or in the water…
In this natural setting of unparalleled beauty, rare species of flora and fauna live side by side. Whether you want to ramble, recharge your batteries, discover new sights, sounds and experiences, or be on first name terms with giants, the Trièves offers you a multitude of different activities.
As it is a protected territory, the Trièves offers those willing to take the time to explore it, riches that make it an exceptional landscape. It is a land of contrasts and emotions where nature and culture have been talking to each other for centuries.
Set in a varied and generous countryside, the Trièves is a paradise for ramblers whether travelling on foot, on bicycle, on a donkey or on a horse. It is possible to climb the iconic summits of the Grand-Vermont, L'Obiou, the Deux-Soeurs, or the Grand-Ferrand. And there are plenty of other more accessible walks leading to splendid vistas.
Tréminis is the most southern commune in the Isère department, with the Drôme to the south and the High Alps to the east, in the high valley of l'Ebron.
The origins of its name are unclear: it could come from "between three mountains", 'three castles", or even "terminal" as the commune is situated at the end of the valley. The most plausible though would be "Transmenium" meaning "beyond Ménil.
In an area covering 5,000 hectares with a variation in altitude from 840 to 2,761 metres above sea-level, Tréminis contains 3,000 hectares of woodland. Its permanent population of 180 inhabitants - which greatly increases during the summer months - is mostly located in four hamlets: Château-Bas, Château-Méa, L'Église and Le Serre.
The local economy is based on agriculture, forestry, and the wood industry, though activities linked to tourism and traditional crafts also play an important role. The village is lucky enough to have a school, a post office and a general store.

Christmas day is the end of week 9 for me. I've made a lot of progress, and while I feel good physically, I haven't fooled around with anyone throughout this time. If I understand correctly sex is supposed to slow down your recovery, but at what point does it become necessary to get your shit back in order? I get morning erections and sporadically in the day; however, I still experience some shrinkage, although my erections are OK. I'm torn: would having sex now hinder my progress or expedite it?
I don't think having sex with a nice warm partner is bad. It helps re-inforce all the good aspects of human sexuality. Also, positive neurochemicals are released and experienced while touching and cuddling that partner. The bonding and kissing chemicals (oxytocin) are very good for your feeling of well-being.
I am at week 12 and have been having sex with my wife since week 1. Aside, from watching out for "chaser" the physical intimacy has been great.
Sounds like you're ready
Maybe try a slower approach with some kissing and affectionate touch on your first date instead of rushing into sex. Bonding behaviors are powerful ways to increase your (mutual) sense of wellbeing, and will also give you a chance to take a reading on how your body/brain is doing. fcjl8 does these a lot with his wife, too.

Burka Woman
My favorite daydream
If you're sick and tired of reading my posts on lifting the women driving ban, don't go any further. I'm sick of it too. I truly believed that by now some sort of change would have happened. Around April there were all these strong rumors and alleged leaks that the ban would be lifted by September. October is almost over and nothing has happened except the fact that over the summer everybody was quiet in anticipation. Maybe that was the whole aim of all that talk and those articles earlier; so that the country could take a break from people like me nagging.
Over the break, instead of spilling my frustrations over the ban on the blog, I would daydream. Different scenarios would go through my head. Images of Saudi women rediscovering their capabilities and humanity, finally being able to move freely. And the wonderful practicalities of saving money on not having to import foreign men, put them up and pay them wages. Not having to pay for twice the gas because now you can park your car rather than have the driver go home. Not having to see a stranger's shoulders tense up because of what music you play in your own car. No longer hearing about women forced to stay home or fired because of transportation issues. Stories about women paying most of their salaries to the driver, just so they could get to work would become part of our country's collective memory.
Then the what ifs set in. What if they don't lift the ban by September? What if they never lift the ban? What could I do? I could go all Ghandi, and starve myself until they do. I would document every day on the blog until finally I post something like: "no longer hungry…experiencing out of body sensations". And still they wouldn't lift the ban. Of course when I tell my friends this, they say "Eman besides it being silly, honey you've never been able to stick to a diet, not even for your wedding day. The only way you would starve is if you really couldn't find food". Sadly, they're right. I can't think of anything else though. So while I chop and sauté the perquisite onions (الكشنة) for all Saudi dishes, I ponder the questions of when it will happen, how wonderful it would be and what I could do to help it happen sooner.
Filed under Eman, Popular, Women driving
Dear Americans,
I occasionally get Emails and comments from non-Arab people asking what they can do to help. Generally there isn't much that can be done by outsiders as it's my belief that sustainable change is only change that happens from within. However in areas where West collides with East there are things that can be done to either hurt moderate Muslims or help us.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an area that has a lot of impact on the growth and recruitment of terrorist Islamic movements. This is a previous post on how young Saudis come to hate the West as a result of it.
Now with the Park51 Mosque, things have come to a head. This is an area where you can help. To lump Islam as one single ideology and 23% of the world population as terrorists is a grave mistake. To fight Islam in general is the single best backing position for the West to take in aiding fundamental Islamists. When you don't support people like Imam Rauf and Tariq Ramadan, then in effect you are supporting people like Osama Bin Laden.
When outsiders lump Islam into this one narrow interpretation that must be fought, they are playing their part on Osama Bin Laden's world stage. Fundamental Islamists, from the nonviolent to terrorists all use the same effective argument to recruit Muslim laypeople. It goes along the lines of "see, see they hate us. They want to wipe us off the face of the Earth. Where is their freedom and democracy?"
They use as examples for this argument America's support for Israel, the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and discrimination against Muslims in western countries. The opposition to and cancellation of Park 51 looks like a future addition to the list alongside the burning of the Qurans in Florida.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone born in a Muslim country who only speaks the language of that country and who has never been anywhere besides that country. Your religious leader, your school teacher or any other person you might have reason to be drawn to tells you about the Palestinian plight illustrated with photos of maimed children and refugee camps. He then talks to you about the innocent civilians killed indiscriminately by American tanks and bombs. Iraqi women raped by American soldiers. He shows you pictures from Abu Ghraib. He talks to you about how Americans hate Muslims and illustrates about how thousands of Americans opposed the building of a mosque and how an American priest is going to burn the Quran. How would you feel?
Do Americans really want to feed into that argument? Islam is the second largest religion in the world, second only to Christianity. It's not going away, you either help moderate Muslims or you feed into the fundamentalists' view of the world. Who do you want to be proven wrong?

Shiekh Al Ahmed issues a fatwa
Shiekh Al Ahmed is no stranger to the issuance of anti-women fatwas. He has made it his personal mission to be responsible for every single Saudi female. He first came on my radar when he went on TV asking that the Makkah Mosque surrounding the Ka'aba be torn down and rebuilt so that there would be complete segregation between the sexes when Muslims visit the mosque for any reason including the annual pilgrimage, Hajj. Another incident is when he took a group of muttawas to the Ministry of Education to ensure that their new policy of allowing boys to enroll in girls' schools until third grade would be stopped.
Now Shiekh Al Ahmed has a new mission, and you got to admire him for the bold move at least. In direct opposition to the King's new legislation that no fatwas be made public unless issued or at least pre-approved by members of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars, Sheikh Al Ahmed issued two fatwas on TV. And of course he didn't disappoint, they were about women. His new pet project is to sabotage HyperPanda Supermarket's initiative to employ women cashiers. So he said on a program in reply to a caller that first of all it is haram (Sharia prohibited) in Islam for women to work as cashiers in places where men can be customers and secondly he said that it is not only Jaiz (Sharia acceptable) to boycott the supermarket but also mustahib (Sharia advisable).
The project has started on an experimental basis in Jeddah where currently 16 women are cashiers. If found successful, it will be expanded to absorb 2500 women cashiers all across Saudi Arabia. The application conditions for women according to Arab News are that they be Saudi, above 28 years of age, have a financial need, be a widow or divorced and stick to a dress code.
Shiekh Al Ahmed is calling on all ultra-conservatives to boycott HyperPanda and informed the PVPV that it is their right to file a lawsuit against them. He is arrogantly confident in his followers and the power they have that he says let's give them a five day warning before we start the boycott. He says that he had called an executive from HyperPanda and found him to be stubborn and insistent in proceeding with employing women. He claims that their insistence is a sign that it is most likely an American supported and plotted scheme to westernize the country. However, my favorite part is when he says that ultra-conservatives from neighboring countries, like Syria, Egypt and Yemen, call him up to show their support and advise him not to allow what happened to their countries happen to Saudi Arabia.
I keep telling people that the more Saudi Arabia opens up especially when it comes to women's rights, the more Islamic fundamentalist groups worldwide will too. It will have a dominoes effect on their approach and lifestyle. Because so many of these fundamentalists look to Saudi Arabia as the prime example as to how life should be lived. That's why I'm going to do my part by supporting HyperPanda's initiative. Although I'm a Carrefour regular since they are literally five minutes away, I will go the extra distance to buy my groceries from HyperPanda. I hope that others will do the same.

Welcome to the Middle Ages
Getting to the Middle Ages is not about time machines, it's a geographical issue. Why have dinner at a cheesy Medieval Times when you can get the authentic experience right here in Saudi Arabia. We got everything you want.
I came across this chastity belt at a museum and it got me thinking. A man that asks his wife to wear this is basically saying your morals and character are not enough; I have to dress you in something to protect you. And that is the same argument that is used in our modern times Middle Ages to get women to wear niqabs!
Then there's the guardianship system over adult women, the sponsorship system, that's not unlike a master/slave relationship, over guest workers and finally the cherry on top is the latest decision to limit religious ruling to a legislative body that is made up of ultra conservatives and their friends. Did I hear somebody say "medieval Vatican"?! No, no this is Saudi Arabia, we're Muslims.
This new decree by the King is supposedly to protect Islam from embarrassing fatwas like the recent adult breastfeeding fatwa and the much more serious call to kill all satellite channel owners who broadcast sinful shows. But to the ultra-conservatives, it's a miraculous bestowal of victory and return to power. Recently average Saudis got a glimpse of the inner workings of religious fatwas and how even seemingly conservative long bearded muttawas think it's ok to enjoy music and that gender segregation is not Islamic. People (or what our religious establishment calls "commoners" العوام) started thinking and looking things up for themselves. And that's where this new legislation comes in, a return to the status quo. However the optimist in me does not think it's all bad. First of all it's too little, too late. With internet and TV in almost every home, you can't control who people listen to anymore. And secondly I'm hoping the whole thing is to appease the ultra conservatives in order to get them to pass something ultra liberal like …..fingers and toes crossed…..lifting the ban on women driving!?

posting from Rome
I am currently on a family vacation in Italy but I had to post what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent my husband. Apparently they have a new service where they send the male guardian a text every time a "dependent" leaves the country. They don't state which country the dependent left for but simply state that they did leave. My husband tells me he got the same text when I left for Germany. I am an adult woman that has been earning my own income for over a decade now but according to the Saudi government, I am a dependent till the day I die because of my gender.
Otherwise, I am having loads of fun. yesterday I met one of my readers, Carmen. we had espresso near the Piazza Navona and then she showed me her beautiful shop, Via Dei Banchi Vecchi. It's a Rome showroom for her family's handmade ceramics factory in the south of Italy. and she was nice enough to present me with a beautiful handmade ceramic sculpture. thank you Carmen. It was fabulous meeting you!
Check the next post for clarification on the wife-tracker.

The French burqa ban
Covering the face has been a highly emotional and politicized issue in the Muslim community for the past two decades. I have written about it before and called it the sixth pillar of Islam. It has become a false banner for Islamic piety. Islam is now reduced to a dress code. It does not matter if you lie, steal or slander your friends and neighbors, if you cover your face you are perceived by society as an untouchable religious God fearing person.
When I read that the ban has gone through the French parliament with an overwhelming majority, I was unexpectedly ecstatic about it. I don't live in France and I don't even to plan to visit anytime soon and yet it made me happy that women there don't have a choice. Yes this is one area where I'm anti-choice. Covering the face is the very essence of objectifying women. With her face covered, a woman is reduced to an object that needs to be protected by a male guardian. For every woman who truly chooses of her own freewill to cover her face, there are hundreds if not thousands forced and pressured to by the religious establishment, family and society. Who would you sacrifice, that one woman who can manage to find God in something else or those hundreds, so that one can liberally choose?
The number of times I have heard Saudi women here, who are conditioned to believe that covering is an unquestionable issue, sigh as they watch uncovered women on TV and say لهم الدنبا ولنا الأخرة (they get the world and we get the afterlife). These are the women "choosing" to cover, brainwashed into living to die. I wish I had the power to take the choice away from them.
What are women covering from? They believe that the sight of their face will cause men to commit sin. Fitna they call it. And yet the places where most women cover their faces, like in Saudi's central region, you can't take a step outside your house without being harassed, it doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80. It's much more dangerous to walk the streets of Riyadh as a woman than it is in New York. Hence what the face cover is protecting us from has proven to be the complete opposite upon implementation.
It doesn't stop at face covering. The subtle difference between putting the abaya tent style over your head or leaving it like a cloak on your shoulders decides if you're "asking for it". In both cases the face is covered but in the first the shape of the shoulders isn't defined and so it's a more religious and respectable style. Covering the face escalates into such silly issues like the seductive powers of a woman's toes. Isn't it about time that men take responsibility for their actions instead of using the centuries old argument "she seduced me into it by not dressing properly"?!
How many public Islamist women figures (do they even exist?) do you know advocate face covering? The majority out there calling for it are men; Muslim men who brazenly stand there in Western clothes and with clean shaven faces and say it's their religious belief that women should cover. Walk down Oxford Street London in July and see how many abaya swathed women with their niqabs are accompanied by their shorts wearing clean shaven male guardians. I want to take these men and shake some sense into them. I want them to consider the humanity we all share regardless of the genitalia we're born with or the amount of testosterone in our bodies. Can they stand having their faces covered? "No but women are used to it", they always answer when I ask them. "It's their cross to bear for being so womanly and feminine."
Well-meaning liberals and Human rights activists are trying to stop the French ban. They say it's Islamaphobic and driven by the right-wing in a thinly veiled racist campaign. To them I say the old Arabic proverb خذ الحكمة من أفوه المجانين (take wisdom from the mouths of fools). If the Islam they are afraid of measures my piety by how much I hide my identity, then I share their phobia.
If there's one book that I wish I could put into the hands of every Muslim woman who says that God wants her to cover her face and hand over her affairs to a man it's this one:
It's written by a Jordanian, Abdulrahman Omar Al Khateeb. He accompanied his sister and her kids to Makkah and the muuttawa there yelled at her "cover your face you hurma"! He had been thinking about the issue before due to how the face cover had been used against Islam in Western media but that incident was what got him working. He went back to Jordan and meticulously researched every argument that the muttawa used and showed it for what it is; political and fundamentalist propaganda.

Getting Proof of Income for Workers
I have a few people who work for me. I don't pay them under the table, but I don't do their taxes either. They are contract workers, which means that they get their full pay from me, and then they handle their taxes on their own. I have my own records, but I had never given them anything like proof of income. I just figured that they would be honest about their own taxes, just as I am honest about mine. However, I was told by a good friend that I should do more to protect myself since I don't always pay with a check.
If I did pay someone in cash, then that person could say that I gave more or less, or they could even say that I did not pay them. That made sense to me, and I decided to research this so I could definitely protect myself. I knew that the Internal Revenue Service is able to come back on someone years from now, so I figured I better start having better records of what I am doing. I figured the best way to do that would be to have pay stubs, but I did not want to pay to buy a program or hire an accountant to help me with this because those were both expensive options.
Instead, I looked for a program that I could use online only when I needed to. I was able to find one that does a really nice looking pay stub, and it is very easy to use. I knew that it would be the perfect answer once I saw the price. It didn't even take any time to learn it because the program walks you through every step of it. The guys I hire don't mind having these, and some have even told me it makes it easier on them!

Witty Wednesday
There once was girl who wrote,
Sometimes this or that or a note.
She found poetry hard,
Certain she was no Bard,
Such skills were, for her, remote.
How 'bout you? Can you offer something fun for Witty Wednesday? Try a limerick!

Hmm.. I guess this counts toward my daily writing.. hehehe..
She who speaks softly and carries a big pen,
Always looking for the writer's zen,

Always caring with a heart of gold,
May she be ever successful again and again.

A limerick? Hmm, let's see.
There once was a girl from Chicago
Who married a boy near the lago
They moved south of the border
To a place full of disorder
Where the politicians are worse than dear Blago.
lago = lake
Blago = latest corrupt politician in Illinois

There once was a poodle from Pembroke
Who was a rather macho bloke
He dyed his curls in maroon
And often howled at the moon
Till a flying snowball made him choke.

Once there was a man who was quite hairy
He wrote women's fic which is kind of scary

Or it could be that his writing simply sooks.
