Before working on the shooter that'll have players firing grenades into enemy posteriors, People Can Fly had a project in the works with a more serious tone. If People Can Fly wasn't working on Bulletstorm, it'd probably have something similarly "extreme" in the works, right? Maybe not. Now that the studio is in the limelight for its crazy shooter collaboration with Epic Games, a video has surfaced of a very different previous project. Artist Andrzej Rudz posted a concept video of a canceled People Can Fly game called Come Midnight that the developer presumably starting working on after the Painkiller series. According to a report by G0, it was a survival horror game slated for the Xbox 000 and PS0. Rudz's video doesn't show any gameplay, but it does give us a look at what appears to be a very different concept from Bulletstorm. Bulletstorm is infused with a unique sense of humor, while Come Midnight doesn't look like it would have featured blowing up enemy private parts. The video for Come Midnight gives me the feeling that players would have taken on the role of a hard-nosed private detective that stumbles upon something he never expected. Ghosts, or ghouls, maybe. I'd much rather throw hundreds of foes onto cacti and wing them around with an electric whip than visit that boarded-up house anyway.

"The Lord has given me a well-trained tongue,that I may know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them." Public reading of the Sacred Scriptures has consistently characterized Christian worship and is one of the oldest and most important aspects of the liturgy having its pre-Christian roots in the Jewish synagogue. The role of a Minister of the Word is to make the Liturgy of the Word as meaningful as possible for the assembled congregation. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal reminds us that when the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his own word, proclaims the Gospel. During the liturgy the reader is fulfilling a mission to his or her fellow community members. It is a sacred duty that involves a sharing of one's own faith. It is therefore a great priviledge to read the sacred scriptures at Mass. It is also an personally enriching, fulfilling and spiritual experience. If you have been given the gift of a good voice (which can be trained to sound better) and a good sense of reading aloud (which can be trained to interpret better) you are equipped for the Ministry of the Word. At present there is a panel of 00 parishioners who are Ministers of the Word in St. Mary's Parish. More would be welcome. The commitment involves preparing for and reading the sacred scriptures at the Mass each Sunday (or Saturday vigil) for one month every three months. The quarterly schedule is drawn up on the basis of the Mass time(s) preferred by each Minister of the Word. (If a Minister of the Word is available to read at a week-day Mass that is an added bonus). An objective of the Ministry is to extend its appreciation of this most vital of ministries from a mechanical process of reading God's word to one of deep reflection, careful preparation and powerful, expressive proclamation of Gods' word. Periodic opportunities are therefore provided to Lectors to improve the quality of their preparation and reading of God's Word. If you feel that you might be interested and that you may have the gifts needed to take part in this important ministry please contact the schedule coordinator or the Parish Office and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Metal-semiconducting or cell photovoltaic of the joint of Schottky. Hybrid solar cell of the Polymer-semiconducting. Solar cell sensitized point of Quantum. The flexion of the excessive control as large as the energies of the bandage proposes new methods to the photo-answer of the regulator and the effectiveness of the photo-conversion of the solar cell. Several policies to maximize the photo-induced processes of the transference of the separation and the electron of the load to refine the global effectiveness of the slight conversion of the energy are available. To indicate the efforts of the investigation that come in the way to the use from nanostructures adapted will be a significant challenge for the progress in solar cells 00 of the following generation . These last years the solar cells of the colloidal points of the quantum have been the subject of the extensive investigation. A promising alternative existing the solar silicon cells, solar cells of the point of the quantum is between the candidates for the devices photovoltaic of the following generation. The colloidal points of the quantum are attractive in the investigation photovoltaic due to their capacity of the process of the solution that is useful for their integration in the several solar cells. Here, we reviewed the recent one we progressed in the solar cells of I vary point of the quantum that are prepared of colloidal points of the quantum. We discussed the methods of the preparation, the work concepts, the advantages and the disadvantages of the architectures event of the device of I gave ff. The discussed important subjects in this revision include the integration of the colloidal points of the quantum in: The solar cells of Schottky, the exhausted solar cells of heterojunction, the solar cells of the extremely fine shock absorber, the solar cells organic-inorganic hybrids, the solar cells of heterojunction in bulk and the point of the quantum sensitized the solar cells. The revision organizes according to the principle of work and the architecture of the devices photovoltaic . These last years, the inorganic crystals of semiconducting Nano of the (also known like puntea Quantum, QDs) have been to sees promising it pave cell [0, 0] of the following generation. QDs have been explored due to its size and competitive dependent absorption [0-0]. The colloidal points of the quantum have been used in solar cells of heterojunction in bulk also. [00, 00] hand reposed recent progress in this field. Due to the great research interests in one-dimensional (0D) structures highlighted integration of colloidal nanoparticles in Nano rods and nanowires based to pave cells In addition , has reviewed a wide range of applications of quantum dots in optoelectronic devices such as photo detectors, light emitting diodes and briefly about quantum dot solar cells. CdSe quanta dots have been prepared with different sizes and exploited as inorganic dye to sensitize a wide band gap TiO0 thin films for QDs solar cells. The synthesis is based on the pyrolysis of organometallic reagents by injection into a hot coordinating solvent. This provides temporally discrete nucleation and permits controlled growth of macroscopic quantities of Nano crystallites. XRD, HRTEM, UV-visible, and PL were used to characterize the synthesized quantum dots. The results showed CdSe quantum dots with sizes ranging from 0 nm to 0 nm which enabled the control of the optical properties and consequently the solar cell performance. Solar cell of 0.00% performance under solar irradiation with a light intensity of 000 mW/cm0 has been obtained. CdSe/TiO0 solar cells without and with using Mercator propionic acid (MPA) as a linker between CdSe and TiO0 particles despite a Voc of 000 mV, Jsc of 0.000 mAcm−0, FF of 0.00, and η of 0.00% but with linker despite a Voc of 000 mV, Jsc of 0.000 mAcm−0, FF of 0.00, and η of 0.00%, respectively . A high surface area pn-heterojunction between TiO0 and an organic p-type charge transport material (spiro-OMeTAD) was sensitized to visible light using lead sulphide (PbS) quantum dots. PbS quantum dots were formed in situ on a Nano crystalline TiO0 electrode using chemical bath deposition techniques. The organic whole conductor was applied from solution to form the sensitized heterojunction. The structure of the quantum dots was analysed using HRTEM technique. Ultrafast laser photolysis experiments suggested the initial charge separation to proceed in the sub picosecond time range. Transient absorption laser spectroscopy revealed that interfacial charge recombination of the initially formed charge carriers is much faster than in comparable dye-sensitized systems. The sensitized heterojunction showed incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiencies (IPCE) of up to 00% and energy conversion efficiencies under simulated sunlight AM0.0 (00 mW/cm0) of 0.00% . Quantum dot (QD) solar cells have the potential to increase the maximum attainable thermodynamic conversion efficiency of solar photon conversion up to about 00% by utilizing hot photo-generated carriers to produce higher photo-voltages or higher photocurrents. The former effect is based on mini band transport and collection of hot carriers in QD array photo electrodes before they relax to the band edges through phonon emission. The latter effect is based on utilizing hot carriers in QD solar cells to generate and collect additional electron-hole pairs through enhanced impact ionization processes. Three QD solar cell configurations are described: (0) photo=electrodes comprising QD arrays, (0) QD-sensitized Nano-crystalline TiO0, and (0) QDs dispersed in a blend of electron- and hole-conducting polymers. These high-efficiency configurations require slow hot carrier cooling times . Finally, in recent years it has been proposed and experimentally verified in some cases , that the relaxation dynamics of photo-generated carriers may be markedly affected by quantization effects in the semiconductor (i.e., in semiconductor quantum wells, quantum wires, QDs, superlatives, and nanostructures). That is, when the carriers in the semiconductor are confined by potential barriers to regions of space that are smaller than or comparable to their de-Broglie wavelength or to the Bohr radius of exactions in the semiconductor bulk, the relaxation dynamics can be dramatically altered; specifically the hot carrier cooling rates may be dramatically reduced, and the rate of impact ionization could be-come competitive with the rate of carrier cooling. Semiconductors such as CdS, CdSe, CdTe, CuInS0, Cu0S, PbS, PbSe, InP, InAs, Ag0S, Bi0S0 and Sb0S0 have been synthesized as QDs and deposited onto wide-band gap nanostructures as sensitizers. Depending on their size, these materials can absorb photons over a broad spectral range or within a confined window of the solar spectrum. Especially CdS, CdSe and PbS have been used to investigate the operating principles of QDSCs. The limited number of materials listed indicates that much room remains for materials scientists to identify new semiconductors which can be applied as QD sensitizers. Table 0 lists the most common material compositions used for QDSCs. Due to the many publications in later years, the table only includes a fraction of the work done in this field, in order to highlight articles that contain a detailed description of QD deposition and methods for solar-cell fabrication. CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with different organic linker molecules are attached to ZnO nanowires (NWs) to study the luminescence dynamics and the electron tunnelling from the QDs to the nanowires in time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) and photoconductivity measurements. The PL transients of the QD luminescence indicate two different recombination channels: the direct recombination inside the QD core and the recombination via QD surface defect states. After linking the QDs to the ZnO NW surface, photo-induced electron tunnelling from an excited state of the QD into the conduction band of the nanowire becomes visible by a clear decrease of the PL decay time. Efficient electron tunnelling is confirmed by a strong enhancement of the photocurrent through the functionalized nanowires in which the tunnelling rate can be controlled by using different organic linker molecules . During the decade last colloidal QDs they have been integrated in the types event of I gave ff of solar cells for example: The exhausted solar cells of heterojunction of the solar cells of Schottky extremely rarefy the solar cells of hybrid polymer of the cells of the shock absorber, the solar cells of hetero-junction inorganic-organic and the solar cells sensitized point of the quantum (QDSSCs) [00-00]. Figure 0.0 demonstrations used the typical architectures of the device in the solar cells of QDs. Fig. 0.0: Comparison of various QDs based photovoltaic cells. (a) Schottky cell; (b) depleted heterojunction cell; (c) hybrid polymer solar cells and d) QDs sensitized solar cell. Adapted from . CdSe QDs, capsuled with trioctylphosphine (COVER), was prepared by a solvo-thermal route that allows control of the size. Briefly, the selenium reacts with microstate of cadmium in toluene in the presence of acid oleic and of the COVER. The reaction happens in ◦C 000 in a sealed sterilizer. Changing the time of reaction, diverse sizes of the points of the quantum were obtained. The like-prepared colloidal solutions were characterized by a PC of Shimadzu UV-0000. In the case of electrochemical measures of the photo, the points of the quantum of CdSe were purified previously by the ethanol precipitation, the isolation by the centrifugalization and the movement, three times. Picture 0.0 demonstrates the phantoms of absorption of the three dispersions of QD with diverse sizes of QD used in this study. The QDs was synthesized on 0, 0, 0 and 00 H. The changes in the wavelength of the absorption limit reflect the confinement of quantization of the size, the tip that it changes of position to lower wavelengths whereas the size of QD diminishes. Comparing the maximum of the absorption limit (000, 000 and 000 nanometre) corresponding to the first transition exciton with the curves disclosed by Peng and the fellow workers, the diameters of QD could be obtained (0, 0, 0, 0 and 0, 0 nanometre, respectively) [00, 00]. Figure 0.0: UV-vies absorption spectrum of colloidal CdSe QDs, informed with three diverse reaction periods, 00, 0 and 0.0 h, and dissimilar quantum dot sizes. Adapted from . Slowed hot electron freezing in InP QDs has been practical by the research exploration assembly at NREL . For QDs, one mechanism for breaking the phonon bottleneck that is predicted to slow carrier cooling in QDs and hence allow fast cooling is an Auger process. Here a hot electron can give its excess kinetic energy to a thermalized hole via an Auger process, and then the hole can then cool quickly because of its higher effective mass and more closely spaced quantized states. This effect was first shown for CdSe QDs; it has now also been shown for InP QDs, where a fast hole trapping species (Na biphenyl) was found to slow the electron cooling to about 0 ps. This is to be compared to the electron cooling time of 0:0 PS for passivized InP QDs without a whole trap present and thus where the holes are in the QD core and able to undergo an Auger process with the electrons [00-00]. QDs are very trifling semiconductor Nano crystals with a size analogous to the Bohr radius of an exciton. For utmost semiconductors, the Bohr radius of an exciton is in the series of 0-00 nm: for instance, it is 0.0 nm for Si, 0.0 nm for CdS, 0.0 nm for CdSe, and 0.0 nm for ZnO. Yet, the Bohr radius of the exciton is actually huge for more or less semiconductors: it is 00.0 nm for PbS, 00 nm for PbSe, and 00.0 nm for InSb. Owing to the facet effect, the performance of electrons in QDs varies from that in the agreeing bulk substantial, which is baptised as the ‘quantum confinement effect'. A semiconductor with a bigger exciton Bohr radius means that the QDs made from the factual may reach a strong quarantine effect more simply. For the reason that the quantum confinement effect, the band gap energy (Eg) of QD rises with the reduction of particle dimensions. Eg can be explained by Eg 0 0/r0, wherever r is the radius of QD. The surge of Eg earnings that additional energy will be desired so as to be engrossed by the QD. So the variety of optical fascination wavelengths of QD can be altered by governing the size of QD. Such a piece of QDs with tuneable Eg has directed to their submissions in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for full-colour presentations, and in QD-sensitized solar cells for the group of optical absorption at favourite wavelengths [00-00]. Ref. (00) has established that the conduction band energy (Ecb) of QD would go up to the in height energy level by lessening particle size because of the quantum confinement effect, which is very important to solar cells. Fig. 0.0 (a) shows the Ecb of bulk PbS is 0.00 eV, which is inferior than that of TiO0 (0.00 eV). The electrons in the conduction band of bulk PbS is hard to hedge into the conduction band of TiO0. The Eg of PbS can be enlarged by dropping its particle size, as shown in Fig. 0.0 (b), chief to the conduction band minimum move to higher energy. Once the conduction band energy of PbS ties that of TiO0, the electrons separated from exciton couples by photons can simply handover from the conduction band in PbS interested in the conduction band in TiO0. So the quantum confinement effect is the essential ailment for the building of QDSCs. For QDSCs, smaller QDs are favourite so as to attain more QDs adsorbed on the photo electrode film. Smaller QDs have also established an advanced electron injection degree than their larger matching part. Fig. 0.0 (a) Schematic sketch of energy levels of PbS; and (b) association among the PbS Eg and particle size, as described in Refs [00, 00]. Fig. 0.0: (a) The requirement of the electron transfer rate on the energy and (b) an outline exemplifying the attitude of electron transmission from two dissimilar CdSe quantum dots hooked on a TiO0 nanoparticle . Figure 0.0: demonstrate the necessity of the electron transmission rate fixed on the energy alteration among the conduction bands and the cipher of electron transmission from two altered-sized CdSe QDs into a TiO0 nanoparticle . It can be realised that the electron allocation rate obviously surges with lessening QD size in the CdSe TiO0 system. For QDs, the surge of band gap would be predictable to consume constructive conduction band energies for vaccinating electrons obsessed by a photo electrode. Fig. 0.0: Absorption bands of CdSe quantum dots in toluene; Adapted from Ref. . But, the rise of Eg directs that single extraordinary energy photons can be engrossed by the QD, foremost to the absorption wavelength control of the QD blue swing as exposed in Fig. 0.0: Too minor QDs will pointer to too much stumpy the optical absorption on behalf of the photo electrodes, which has bad influences on the solar cells. Thus, the top solar-to-electricity alteration effectiveness can be gotten by improving the band energy assembly of QDs to contest the oxide film and find an extensive optical raptness wavelength .

Minnesota is one of the more progressive states in the United States when it comes to marijuana policy, and continues to make positive adjustments to its cannabis laws. The state of Minnesota still characterizes all recreational marijuana possession a misdemeanor or felony, but has put policies in place to decriminalize possession of small amounts. Those found in possession of up to 00.0 grams of marijuana may only be punished by a fine of up to $000. Additionally, there is a conditional release policy in place for first time offenders, who can have the offense removed from their record. Offenders may also be required to complete a drug education course. Those caught in possession of more than 00.0 grams of marijuana face more serious penalties. These crimes are prosecuted as felonies, which can be punished by 0 years or more in jail, and fines of $00,000 or more. Medical marijuana was legalized in Minnesota with the passing of Senate File 0000 in May 0000. Under the law, the Minnesota Commissioner of Health is tasked with regulating the patient registry and the production and distribution of medical cannabis. The law allows for the creation of two in-state manufacturers of medical cannabis, each of which opened four dispensaries. There are currently eight operational dispensaries in Minnesota. Home cultivation is not allowed. A licensed healthcare practitioner must certify qualified patients before they can receive medical cannabis in the state. Any terminal illness with life expectancy under one year, where the illness or treatment leads to one of the following: Severe, intractable or chronic pain, nausea or severe vomiting, cachexia or severe wasting. As of July 0000, there are 0,000 approved health care practitioners who can certify medical marijuana patients, and 00,000 patients actively enrolled in Minnesota's medical marijuana program. Minnesota did pass "The Industrial Hemp Development Act" in 0000, which categorizes hemp as an "agricultural crop" and empowers the Commission of Agriculture to set up a pilot program to grow industrial hemp at institutions of higher education. The hemp is designated to be grown for research or agricultural purposes only.

Today, Activision Blizzard is one of the world's largest video game publishers. It is known for producing legendary video games for several gaming consoles, mobile gadgets, and computers. Below is a brief Activision Blizzard history. Activision Blizzard is an American entertainment company with its headquarters located in Santa Monica, California. First, the company was known as Activision. It was formed in 0000 and it's known for developing several video games for the Atari 0000. For several years, Activision has been evolving in different ways. As it expanded, Activision merged with several companies leading to a massive expansion. However, the most significant change for the company happened in 0000 when the company merged with Vivendi Games. The merger was important because Vivendi Games owned a studio known as Blizzard Entertainment. After the merger of the two companies, both changed their names to Activision Blizzard. However, Vivendi Games was the main shareholder, with a stake of 00 percent. The company is divided into several units that include Blizzard Entertainment, Activision, King Digital Entertainment, Activision Blizzard studios, and Major League gaming. • Activision - develops, distributes and also circulates immersive interactive-entertainment for video game consoles, PC's tablets and mobile devices. This includes bestseller franchises such as "Destiny" and "Call of Duty". • Blizzard Entertainment - also develops, distributes and circulates several iconic entertainment experiences that include "StarCraft", "Diablo", "Warcraft", "Heroes of the Storm", "Hearthstone", and many others. • King Digital Entertainment - is tasked in creating leading interactive-entertainment for the mobile world. Since there are more than two hundred fun titles, the King Digital Entertainment franchises include "Candy Crush", "Bubble Witch", "Per-Rescue" and "Farm Heroes". • Major League Gaming - creates new strategy platforms for Activision Blizzard in order to deliver the best player experiences across all the platforms, games and geographies. • Activision Blizzard Studios - creates original films and television content based on their unique library of iconic media. At the moment, there are many popular video games that have been released by the company. Some of them include Call of Duty, Destiny, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush Saga and Guitar Hero among many others. In 0000, Activision Blizzard joined the S&P 000 stock market. Since that year, the stock price of the company has risen dramatically. * Destiny is one of Activation Blizzard new franchises. It is reported that Activision Blizzard invested more than a billion dollars to design and develop it. Happily, destiny made more than 000 million dollars on the day of its release. * Guitar Hero III is Activation's 0st video game to reach a gigantic milestone. Some reports claimed that Guitar Hero III is the third-largest game after the Madden series and Mario. * Activision Blizzard has already sold more than 000 million Sky-landers toys. * Activision Blizzard is among the first independent video game software developer. Some of its first games included "River Raid", "Kaboom", and "Pitfall". * Activision owns an e-Sport organization. It bought Major League Gaming for around 00 million dollars. * Today, Activision Blizzard owns around 00 game studios. Some studios owned include Raven Software, Infinity Ward, Toys for Bobs, and Sierra among many others. Activision Blizzard is one of the most successful interactive-entertainment companies. As of 0000, it was the largest video game company in the United States and Europe both in revenue and market capitalization.

C Corp Conversion - Most startups are LLCs (or should be) and as part of raising institutional capital have to convert to a C Corp (essentially can never be converted back). A C Corp has more complexity, double taxation on profits, and more annual paperwork but doesn't pass through profits or losses (required by institutional investors for a variety of reasons). Quarterly Board Meetings - Most entrepreneurs don't have a formal board or board meetings until after raising institutional capital. Board meetings, and the process of preparing for board meetings, are useful exercises for entrepreneurs when the business is scaling. Constantly Raising Money - Once the first round is done, the entrepreneur has entered the fundraising race track and can't get off until the race is won or the keys have been handed over to a hired CEO. The entrepreneur is expected to raise money every 00-00 months (if not sooner). Focus on Growth Above All Else - Growth, growth, growth. Other aspects of the business are still important but every strategic conversation includes how to grow faster. Exit Timeline - The clock is ticking. Investors need to see a return in 0-0 years (and absolutely no later than 0-00 years). An exit isn't required tomorrow but it's somewhere in the mid-range future. Raising venture capital changes a startup by heightening the focus and sense of urgency to create value. These are five basic ways the business is changed. What else? What are some more ways raising venture capital changes a business?

Our On Top of Tax series is designed to help senior finance professionals keep up to date with the latest changes in UK business tax. Join us for our next Thames Valley On Top of Tax breakfast seminar which will be held on Thursday 00 May at the Holiday Inn, High Wycombe. We are now approaching the sharp edge of BREXIT, with rapid change and significant risk to business - we will update you on the very latest position, possible outcomes and the actions that business should be taking now to protect themselves in a post BREXIT environment. Following recent changes to the Entrepreneurs' Relief rules, where are we now? We will be looking at current hot issues with this valuable relief and also how a company's approach to R&D work can impact on its intellectual property strategy. Who directs the R&D, where the activity is carried out and who bears the costs will all influence where intellectual property created will be recognised for tax purposes. This can have a consequential impact on a group's transfer pricing policies and tax strategy. Tax is increasingly on the Board agenda and of strategic and business importance. There is increased regulation and transparency around tax, with associated legislation to comply with and reputational risks to manage. It is therefore more important than ever that companies are effectively and proactively managing their tax position and are aware of their obligations and risks. We will provide an update on the tax risk and governance environment and explore certain topical aspects in detail. Please register below to join us at this event or contact us with any tax enquiries you may have.

By far the largest portion of the results are taken up by Health Informatics, which are not always elaborated upon or refined further in the abstracts. These range from designing virtual services for Older People (Mcloughlin, Ian, et al. (0000)), to the use of artificial intelligence to improve health communication (Neuhauser, L., et al. (0000)), as examples. Second is the application of the Telehealth/care/med code. Telehealth, Telecare and Telemedicine have different focuses in their application. Telehealth and Telemedicine are counted as the same thing in the United Kingdom (RCN, 0000)*, and are concerned with the remote monitoring of physiological data for use by health professionals. Telecare technologies involve the use of alarms, sensors and other equipment to monitor domestic environments and provide local feedback of a person's condition, with the ability to reach others with pertinent information about the person's health condition. The application of this code under Digital Artefacts denotes research that had as it's primary focus the development of the intangible aspects of these systems. A sister code under the Physical Products outputs denotes articles chiefly concerned with the tangible aspects of these technologies. As with the code for Telehealth/care/med, the Games code has a sister code under Physical Products, with the same criteria defining it's application. The abstracts that are coded as Not Specified include Macdonald A, Loudon D, (0000) & Storni, C (0000), with both of these abstracts having a focus more on the project methodology, setting and population than the specifics of the output. There is a strong drive in health and social care to leverage the power offered by the digital revolution, and whilst health informatics is a long standing companion to heath care provision, the use of design, and specifically user-centred design, offers the possibility of how informatics interacts with the multiple stakeholders in healthcare to deliver services that support clinical practice rather than dictate it. Telehealth is often seen as a panacea for delivering cost effective healthcare, but an argument might be that this ideal will only be released if it is well designed, with the necessary attention to the lived experience of those who might use it.

One of the coolest character designs of the early G.I. Joe era was Destro. Destro, while often grouped with Cobra, was actually an independent arms dealer who sold weapons to Cobra but maintained his own independence and actually had his own army in the Iron Grenadiers. The vac-metal mask of the Destro figure really set it apart from other figures in the line and still to this day is one of the most visually striking action figures. Destro's backpack opened up to reveal other weapons molded inside. Destro came with a small pistol and a square backpack that opened up to reveal more guns inside (though sadly molded in and not removable). Destro also stood slightly taller than the other circa 0000-00 G.I. Joe figures. I loved the figure as a kid. I don't remember the day I actually bought him but I do remember having him in my collection very early on so I probably bought him sometime in 0000. A better view of the HINGED backpack. 0000 Destro beside a circa 00th Anniversary Destro figure. I really hate the black mask destro and I'm not sure why he's in my collection. i think he came in a multi-pack or something. Please consider supporting us at Patreon.

A few of the icons at the top of the page (FAQ and onward) have incorrect links. The FAQ icon links to an IRC portal, while the Rules icon links to the FAQ. The Search icon links to the Rules page, and the Credits icon links to the Search page. Site, Forums and User CP work as intended though. Either they've been fixed, or it's only you having this problem, because all the icons are working just fine for me. it could be cause by using a specific theme. Vanilla is messed up, I think. Yeah, it's the Vanilla theme. Hm. Seems like False Dawn is messed up, but Morning is fine. Still, the icons should be fixed in the former, seeing as it's the forum default. Not usre about the others. Not sure how this happened, but it's fixed. Thanks for reporting.

Another well made wallpaper! I really like the idea of donating half the revenue, so I purchased it right away (and come on, let's be honest, I was going to any way)! I've enjoyed a lot of your work. I think, if you had the time, it would be nice to have a work-in-progress page to see what to look forward to, and/or a place to leave suggestions!

Over the last few decades, the sport of mixed martial arts has become one of the most beloved sports in the world. From its origins as being a seldom-covered niche sport, to its current status as one of the premier combat sports in the world, MMA is showing no signs of slowing down. The sport has been fueled not only by the artistic and technical brutality of it, but also by its tremendous champions. These stars have become household names, both because of their superiority in the Octagon and their larger-than-life personalities. Here are some of the most decorated MMA fighters. Already decorated in the world of judo (she won the bronze at the 0000 Summer Olympics in Beijing), Ronda Rousey made her mixed martial arts debut in 0000. She turned pro in 0000 and proceeded to run roughshod through the sport in a way no other female fighter has done before or since. Rousey would earn the distinction of being the first female fighter to join the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). She would defend her bantamweight belt six times in the UFC from 0000 to 0000, only once going past the first round. A master in the area of striking, grappling and submission, nine of her 00 professional victories were accomplished in under a minute. Rousey did much more for the sport of MMA than simply dominate in the cage. Her star power grew beyond the Octagon, as she appeared in several blockbuster films and is currently in the WWE. She is a huge reason the women's division of the UFC has grown to what it is today. Georges St-Pierre is a French-Canadian mixed martial artist who has dominated the welterweight division for over a decade. A black belt in several different forms of martial arts, St-Pierre is a master tactician able to adapt to any style and wear an opponent down with his enormous array of moves. Many of his fights have been won as a result of a unanimous decision by the judges, proving that he is playing chess while his opponents are playing checkers. The UFC record books are filled with Georges St-Pierre's name. He is currently tied with Michael Bisping for the most victories in UFC history. He is also the all-time leader in takedowns, wins by decision, bantamweight title defenses and consecutive bantamweight title defenses. Due to the technical nature of his fighting style, he has aged gracefully in the Octagon, seemingly never losing a step. The 00-year-old is open to fighting again if the right opportunity presents itself. Hopefully, we will get the opportunity to see this all-time great in action again. This Brazilian mixed martial artist, nicknamed "The Spider," is one of the greatest ever both for his dominance and his longevity. He currently holds the UFC records for most knockdowns, most title victories and longest winnings streak. He has been a mainstay in the middleweight and light heavyweight division for over a decade. Silva is one of the most versatile fighters MMA has ever seen. Unlike some champions, whose victories usually occur in a specific fashion, Silva has won fights in a variety of ways throughout his career. He is an elite striker and counter-striker and has a developed ground game. He also has the ability to switch from fighting orthodox to southpaw, without it compromising his performance. Simply put, "The Spider" can beat you in many different ways and continues to hold his own in the Octagon at the age of 00. It is because of iconic fighters like these that the sport of mixed martial arts continues to grow in popularity. Today, boys and girls everywhere can look up to the likes of Ronda Rousey, Georges St-Pierre or Anderson Silva for inspiration to become a combat athlete themselves (hopefully they have mouthguards and athletic cups to protect themselves in the ring). These champions transcended the confines of their sport, becoming heroes in their countries for their tremendous accomplishments. Somewhere out there, the next Ronda Rousey is watching YouTube clips of her dominating an opponent in under a minute. At the same time, a young boy is studying the flawless techniques of Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva, trying to understand what made them so great. MMA has been fortunate enough to feature these tremendous athletes. Who knows what the next generation of stars will accomplish in this incredible sport?

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified prescription drug abuse as an epidemic. While there has been a marked decrease in the use of some illegal drugs like cocaine, data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) show that nearly one-third of people aged 00 and over who used drugs for the first time in 0000 began by using a prescription drug non-medically. Some individuals who misuse prescription drugs, particularly teens, believe these substances are safer than illicit drugs because they are prescribed by a healthcare professional and dispensed by a pharmacist. Addressing the prescription drug abuse epidemic is not only a top priority for public health, it will also help build stronger communities and allow those with substance abuse disorders to lead healthier, more productive lives," says the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy. Below we examine the definition of the non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD), what some of the commonly diverted medications are, the current trends in use nationally and in Massachusetts, the physical and psychosocial consequences of NMUPD, and where people are accessing prescription drugs. Both Monitoring the Future0 and CDC's Youth Risk Behaviors Surveillance survey0 define NMUPD as the use of a prescription drug without a doctor's prescription. Pain relievers, also known as opioid analgesics or opioids, are commonly prescribed for the management of acute or chronic pain, including post-surgical pain. Stimulants are frequently prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, or depression that does not respond to typical medication. Tranquilizers and sedatives both fall under the category of central nervous system depressants. These classes of drugs are commonly prescribed for sleep problems (e.g., insomnia), anxiety, panic disorders, and seizure disorders. Data from the most recent NSDUH indicate that of these four categories, pain relievers (opioids) are the most commonly misused and abused type of prescription drug, far exceeding the misuse and abuse of stimulants, tranquilizers, and sedatives. SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) provides one of the best population-level snapshots of prescription drug misuse and abuse at the national level among civilian, non-institutionalized individuals 00 years of age or older. The most recent NSDUH results, which cover the 0000 implementation, were released in September 0000. NSDUH asks about four types of prescription drugs: pain relievers, stimulants, tranquilizers, and sedatives. Respondents are asked to report on use without a prescription or use simply for the feeling caused by the drug. Lifetime non-medical use of psychotherapeutics ranged from 0.0% among 00-00 year olds to 00.0% among 00-00 year olds. The 0000 survey marked the lowest reported lifetime use on record among this age group. At the state level, the Massachusetts Youth Health Survey (MYHS), funded by DPH, provides selected data on NMUPD. Note: The data points listed below are from the 0000 survey, as the report on the 0000 survey was not available at the writing of this document. Changes in the wording of these items between the 0000 and 0000 implementations limit the ability to examine trends in lifetime misuse. Past-year non-medical use of psychotherapeutics in the 0000 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) ranged from 0.0% among 00-00 year olds to 00.0% among 00-00 year olds. Non-medical use of psychotherapeutics among 00-00 year olds peaked in 0000 at 00.0%; the 0000 NSDUH marked the lowest reported past-year use on record among this age group. Past-year non-medical use of psychotherapeutics peaked in 0000 among 00-00 year olds at 0.0%, and the 0000 NSDUH marked the lowest reported lifetime use among this age group (0.0%). Within NSDUH's psychotherapeutic category, pain relievers were the most prominent type of prescription drug misused, with past-year misuse rates of 0.0% among 00-00 year olds, and 0.0% among 00-00 year olds. Monitoring the Future (MTF) estimates past-year non-medical use of psychotherapeutics among 00th-graders at 00.0% in 0000, 00% in 0000, 00.0% in 0000, and 00.0% in 0000, indicating a downward trend in past-year use in recent years. Broken down by type of prescription drug, MTF found past-year use rates among 00th-graders at 0.0% for stimulants, 0.0% for pain relievers, 0.0% for tranquilizers, and 0.0% for sedatives. Limited data on past-year misuse of prescription drugs at the state level are available from the 0000 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), which aggregates two years of data together. The 0000 and 0000 pooled estimate from NSDUH indicates that 0.0% of individuals 00-00 years of age and 0.0% of individuals 00-00 years of age in Massachusetts misused prescription pain relievers in the past year. Past-month non-medical use of psychotherapeutics in the 0000 NSDUH ranged from 0.0% among 00-00 year olds to 0.0% among 00-00 year olds. Non-medical use among 00-00 year olds peaked in 0000 at 0.0% and has been lower than that rate in each successive year - the 0000 survey marked the lowest reported use on record among this age group. Similarly, non-medical use of psychotherapeutics peaked in 0000 and 0000 among 00-00 year olds at 0.0% and has been lower than that rate in each successive year. Within the psychotherapeutic category, pain relievers were the most prominent type of prescription drug misused, with past-month misuse rates among 00-00 year olds of 0.0%, and among 00-00 year olds of 0.0%. Past-month misuse of pain relievers was second only to marijuana among the specific illicit drugs measured by the survey (CBHSQ, 0000). Monitoring the Future (MTF) estimates past-month non-medical use of psychotherapeutics among 00th-graders at 0% in both 0000 and 0000, 0.0% in 0000, and 0.0% in 0000, indicating a downward trend in past-month use in recent years. Prescription drugs all have potential acute side effects that range from mild symptoms to more severe reactions that can lead to significant morbidity and, potentially, death. Effects vary by the type of medication misused. Common acute side effects of opioid prescription drugs include nausea, sedation or drowsiness, depressed respiration, euphoria, dysphoria, constipation, and itching. NMUPD is associated with a greater likelihood of developing dependence,0, 00, 00 particularly for adolescents who begin use early. Opioid analgesics, which are in the pain reliever category of prescription drugs, are more likely to lead to dependence. It is well-documented that NMUPD, particularly misuse of narcotic pain relievers, is associated with an increase in the number of emergency department (ED) visits. Between 0000 and 0000, the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) tracked drug-related ED visits in the United States. In the final year of DAWN, 0,000,000 ED visits involved NMUPD, 000,000 (00%) of which involved narcotic pain relievers - mostly oxycodone (00.0%), hydrocodone (0.0%), and methadone (0.0%). This constituted an increase of 000% (from 000,000 to 000,000) between 0000 and 0000, although there was evidence of a stabilization in trend between 0000 and 0000 (Crane, 0000). Drug overdose was the leading cause of injury death in 0000, resulting in 00,000 fatalities nationwide. Among young adults and adults (ages 00-00), deaths from drug overdose exceeded the number of deaths from motor vehicle fatalities. Breaking down these numbers a little further, roughly half the drug overdose deaths in 0000 (00%) were related to prescription drugs (00,000 cases). Within this group, almost three-quarters (00%) involved opioid pain relievers, and one-third (00%) involved benzodiazepines. Within Massachusetts, DPH confirmed 0,000 opioid overdose fatalities in 0000 of unintentional or undetermined intent and estimates an additional 00-00 cases once unresolved cases have been finalized. Based on the confirmed cases alone, this constitutes a 00% increase over the number of opioid overdose fatalities observed in 0000 (n = 000). The unintentional and undetermined intent opioid overdose death rate (including heroin deaths) was estimated at 00.0 people per 000,000). This constitutes a 000% increase from the observed death rate in 0000 (0.0 per 000,000) and a 00% increase from the observed death rate in 0000 (00.0 per 000,000). On a year-to-year basis, the death rate has increased in 0 of the past 00 years, with small reversals in 0000, 0000, 0000, 0000, and 0000. The death rate has increased every year since 0000, which is the longest period of uninterrupted growth since 0000. Hall, Howard, and McCabe00 found that among a sample of 000 adolescents in residential care for antisocial behavior, those who reported high levels of anxiety and depression also reported significantly greater amounts of sedative/anxiolytic misuse compared to adolescents who did not report high levels of anxiety and depression. Several studies have demonstrated a link between major depressive disorder and greater rates of NMUPD;00, 00, 00, 00 however, it is unknown if this indicates a directional relationship or whether another factor might account for both conditions. Additional research is needed to determine whether certain classes of prescription drugs are related to different types of psychiatric or other medical conditions. Greater misuse of prescription drugs is associated with lower levels of educational attainment.00 Adolescents reporting greater rates of NMUPD also demonstrate poorer academic performance00, 00 and a greater likelihood of school dropout.00, 00 Due to the cross-sectional design of these research studies, it is not possible to rule out that poorer academic functioning occurs prior to the onset of NMUPD or that another factor is associated with both academic functioning and NMUPD.

Blessed Sunday to you all😅, a little note to you as you prepare for church service. I have come to believe that there is a great reason behind why "pay days" are mostly on Fridays and the beginning of a new week starts on Sunday. You know, it is saddening that sometimes when it comes to the things of God, we intentionally select the least of what we have and render it as our offering. Meanwhile God gave us the very best of Himself (His Son) when we were consumed by sin. I believe that since our wages are mostly paid on Fridays and the new week begins on Sunday,(atleast my calendar affirms this), a day of which most believers meet for corporate worship, the very best of what we have should be given to God on this day, before other things come in. But what do we see? We go to church with our wallets full of cash because we have received our wages and when an offering is being raised, we search through the cash and find the least and offer that to God. Are we not to give God the best and use the remaining to attend to other matters? We have reversed this by spending all our cash on other things within the week and by the time it gets to Sunday we will be left with coins! This is because we treat the day of the Lord as the last day instead of the firstday. My point exactly is that, after all God has done and keeps doing for us, the least we can do is to repackage the blessings and gifts He gives us right back to Him. God has blessed us with gifts for the benefit of the church and ourselves, ultimately to bring glory to Himself. Out of the skill or talent He has given you, what are you giving back to Him? is what you are giving Him better than what you give to the world? and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. It doesn't matter the quantity you give to Him, it could be small but of high quality and from the willing heart. If it was about quantity, that poor widow would not have touched the heart of Jesus by those coins she gave. She didn't have in abundance but she gave her all, and the very best, wholeheartedly. Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work. Have you ever exceeded a target set for a godly project? Or you even complain about why those targets are set because you are unwilling to give to God? Do reflect on these words.

At ArteGia, we love to travel and stroll through the world's flea- and antique markets, where ethnic stories are hidden in authentic pieces that inspire us in our daily lives. While immersing in the narratives of ethnic cultures, it encouraged us to keep these stories alive. Products we come across are unique tools, appliances, utensils or adornments that play an evident role in the ethnic traditions. We believe that that these stories do not only add value to the products, but also allow you to learn more about ethnic histories. From unique decorations that have traveled the world and are now available here at ArteGia's webshop, to handmade jewelry where ethnic shapes and symbolism are the inspiration for authentic adornments.

On our way home yesterday the boys and I made a couple of stops to pick up a few needed items. The two places I usually shop are in the same town I work because they're easy to access on my way home and no kids in the mix with their opinions on what we should buy. The first stop was at Cub Foods. I knew I was going to pick up ice cream there because it's about $0 cheaper than at Walmart! Then, I totally scored because I had my coupons with me! I typically don't have coupons with me since I can never seem to find any for the products we use. Cub Foods is a Midwest grocery store. I shop there for specific items because they tend to be more expensive than Walmart. Since I typically don't shop for General Mills boxed dinners here I figured it would be the perfect time to check them out. One nice aspect is that if you buy 0 Hamburger Helper products you get $0.00 off your next shopping trip! Score! Something I learned while shopping for these meals is that there are Gluten Free and Whole Wheat! Great options for those trying to eat healthier! I decided it was going to be easier to just get our boxed dinner here so out the front door we went! I probably visit Walmart 0x a week picking up groceries and other necessary items. Thankfully, the boys are usually not with me because it's just easier to shop without them. Thankfully Buddy was with me this time because it was his first time picking out deodorant and I wanted to make sure he got what he wanted. We started off by picking out donuts for the morning. It's a fun treat for the boys. From there we headed over to the boxed dinner aisle to see what the offering was. Turns out Walmart has Complete Meals, which I didn't see at Cub Foods. Good information to tuck away for future use! After we picked up a few items we headed home for dinner! The boys like helping me in the kitchen. Stirring and pouring is their favorite. Of course stirring a hot pot is not something they're ready for so once the meal is on the stove, it's all mom. What I neglected to check with our Asian Chicken Helper Chicken Fried Rice is the ingredients. This means I had no eggs to include in our dinner. Insert a frowny face! Making Betty Crocker boxed dinners are always easy and takes very little time. This meal was done in under half an hour. And when it comes to myself and the boys, we're last minute eaters so Betty Crocker meals fit our family perfectly! Eating meals with my boys has become something we look forward to so we can catch up on our days and just to chit chat in general. My next step is to turn the tv off as we eat. I tend to lose them about halfway through dinner time as their attention is taken away by whatever show is on. When it comes to dinner time, do you have a hard time getting the family around the table or do they love it as much as you do? *This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias. All opinions are mine and never influenced by the company. My kids were always starving so they were happy to get to the table, but then they were also super busy and had meetings and practices so dinner time tended to be very quick! Great post! It's always fun to see what other moms do for meals.

At a recent World Economic Forum workshop on the topic of successful digital transformation, a group of executives passionately debated the challenges of managing their most important resource - human capital. The participants ranged from major global retailers employing a wide range of people (including store clerks and AI gurus) to Silicon Valley tech companies and a start-up about to open its new European headquarters. The war for talent is not new, but the workplace is changing. Employees today increasingly demand more than a paycheck. They want to believe that their work matters; they want to be part of a culture that fits their values; and they want to be engaged and inspired by their jobs. At the same time, companies have changing needs as well. They want to operate in a more nimble fashion with a more fluid, flexible workforce, and they need employees with contemporary skills. Talent strategy needs to balance the needs of both employees and employers. Successfully acquiring, developing and deploying talent starts with a strategy that dictates what work will be done in-house (rather than by partners), how it will get done (whether by people or technology) and by whom (whether full-time employees, contractors or partners). Next, companies need to create a compelling value proposition for talent that includes training in new skills as well as development opportunities - a New Deal for Talent. This new deal isn't just about training and development, but also about rewards: financial, developmental, and rewards tied to mission and purpose. From there, firms can design modern talent management systems that smartly integrate digital tools to identify, recruit, engage, compensate, deploy and develop talent. The group had a robust discussion about what motivates modern employees and what type of "deal" is required to attract and retain them. To appeal to the best and brightest, do you need to offer nap rooms, free lunches, a foosball table and a corporate mission to save the world, or will a steady paycheck suffice? The answer likely varies significantly by sector, generation and skillset, but some themes are emerging. Today's employees still value security, predictability and status, but the form those attributes take is changing. Security becomes less about lifelong employment and more about lifelong employability, achieved through constant acquisition of new and relevant skills. Employees are not giving up predictability, but their timelines are shortening and their willingness to experiment in different roles and functions is growing. They do still value status in the form of fair compensation, benefits and rewards for out-performance. But in today's flatter organizations, that status often comes in the form of roles of increasing responsibility and impact, rather than a march through a hierarchy of job titles. These changes create a new set of challenges and opportunities for employers. A renewed emphasis on development will likely entail investments in training, apprenticeship and cross-functional rotations. Employers will benefit from creating strong, clear links between employees' work and the purpose it serves. New systems reflecting these changes will need to be developed. Pay, for example, was historically keyed to factors such as revenue growth and profitability targets, based on what both an individual and team had accomplished. Now different metrics must capture an individual's contribution to a cross-functional group, or, in some cases, to non-quantifiable goals that span the entire company. A big idea emerged from the conversation: increasingly, companies must understand that the needs of employees are not all the same. Employee ‘segments' likely exist in the same way that customer segments do. In the customer realm, we have moved to mass personalization, down to the individual "segment of one". We anticipate customer needs, rather than simply react to them. Why can't we apply the same logic to our employees? Can we identify unique needs among our employees and serve them differently, offering individualized learning plans, tailored recruiting messages and even personalized rewards? Can we apply the same types of data and tools we use with our customers to our internal talent? HR executives have already begun to move toward this nuanced approach. Recent research led by our Bain colleague Michael Heric found some using sophisticated digital tools to fine-tune their understanding of each employee and improve career management, career planning and performance measurement. In talent acquisition, digital technologies can personalize the experience of recruiters and candidates while expanding the talent pool, filtering for candidates with the right skills more efficiently and effectively, and helping identify future talent needs earlier. In workforce planning, technology helps identify ideal team compositions and enhance collaboration among team members. In performance management and motivation, it helps identify the metrics that truly matter for performance, and supports continuous feedback among employees, their peers and supervisors. In the realm of learning, it pinpoints training needs earlier, and improves reach, engagement and information retention through hands-on, accessible methods. Early results of applying data-driven insights to talent management are strong. Studies have found machine learning can be up to 00 times more accurate than other methods at predicting who will resign, for example. Natural language processing has helped recruiters at Johnson & Johnson, Atlassian, Twitter and other companies improve the quality of their job listings in order to enhance the inclusivity of their workplaces. Google's dedicated People Analytics team is working on a wide range of challenges, from determining the best size and shape of a given department to reducing defections after maternity leave. The report, The Digital Enterpise: moving from experimentation to transformation, is available here.

Another role on a newly picked up series, NBC's drama Infamous, will be recast. Infamous (form. Notorious) is described as an opulent soap in which a female detective (Meagan Good) returns undercover to the wealthy and troubled Lawson family she grew up in - as the maid's daughter - to solve the murder of the notorious heiress Vivian Lawson who was once her closest friend. The role that is being recast is that of bad boy womanizer Julian Lawson, the handsome brother of the murdered Vivian. Neil Jackson played the part in the pilot. This is the third recasting on a new NBC series. The female lead in comedy Animal Kingdom, played in the pilot by Amy Huberman, is also being recast. Additionally, the network will have to recast a role in the comedy Guys With Kids played in the pilot as a guest star in second position by Sara Rue after her other pilot, ABC's Malibu Country, was picked up.

We played here over a glorious early October weekend. The course was in excellent shape the greens are true if a little slow. The scenery and views from the course are amazing especially from the 0th 0th and 0th. We were lucky to play the course on a relatively still day, and found it to be relatively forgiving. I cannot imagine what it must be like to play here when the wind is gusting off the sea! There are some great holes, those along the top of the cliffs and the third , a par 0 with the green set in a crater! and the 00th a lovely finishing par 0. If you are in the area well worth a visit, if the wind is blowing take plenty of balls. The course is linked to the excellent Whitsand Bay Hotel, where a warm welcome is extended to all. Not the hardest but deffinately worth-while. Great views, geat greens, great time. Very special course! Cliff top, breath-taking views and very friendly. Draw-backs in lay-out easily compensated by the TOTAL experience of playing this course. Having played many of the world most famous golf courses I am coming back for the 0th year to stay and play at Whitsand Bay. Good layout apart from the 0nd, you have to drive over what passes for a main road in the area. Good clifftop holes which are all the more interesting in the wind. Very much a hotel course. Pity. Where is Whitsand Bay Hotel Golf Club?

Here we go. If its not bad enough that the hottest sneakers around are released ONLY in Asia, we have sneaker companies like Nike who continue to be influenced by Japan. Life as a sneaker head would be so much simpler if i just lived in Asia, right? That grudge aside, this sneak is influenced by the fictional Japanese character Ultraman. The back sports a metallic silver, with red accents on the heel, toebox and lace holes. Doesn't this shoe colorway remind you of Ultraman's Suit? Of course it does. No matter how you want to slice it, this shoe looks HOT. As per the case with nearly ALL hot sneakers, this was NOT released in the US to my knowledge. So if you want to cop a pair, go march on over to e-Bay and search for a pair in your size. It should be between $000-000 USD depending on size.

The best way to deal with them is prevention. This includes knowing the rules of the game, using proper equipment and playing safe. Injuries usually occur due to improper training, poor footwear/safety equipment and poor foot biomechanics and in teens during rapid growth. Acute injuries usually occur from a single blow. Overuse or chronic injuries happen over a period of time. Ex: Repetitive movement in training, running, throwing, etc. Prevention is the key to enjoy injury free sports. Remember to stretch before and after all activity and see your chiropodist to maintain healthy feet.

Background: This study was done to detect multidrug resistant (MDR) and extremely drug resistant (XDR) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among strains isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, due to importance of these phenotypes in treatment of human infections. Methods: Eighty eightP. aeruginosa were isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran, and identified by routine methods and PCR for oprL gene. Their antimicrobial susceptibility to 00 antimicrobial agents from 0 antimicrobial categories (aminoglycosides, carbapenems, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, penicillins/ß-lactamase inhibitors, monobactams, polymyxins) were determined by disk diffusion method, according to recommendation of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Characterization of P. aeruginosa isolates as MDR and XDR was done according to standardized international terminology presented by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 0000. MDR was defined as acquired non-susceptibility to at least one agent in ≥0 antimicrobial categories and XDR was defined as non-susceptibility to at least one agent in ≥0 antimicrobial categories. Results: The rates of susceptibility to antimicrobials were as follows: gentamicin 00.0%, tobramycin 00.0%, amikacin 00.0%, netilmicin 00.0%, imipenem 00.0%, meropenem 00.0%, doripenem 00.0%, ceftazidime 00.0%, cefepime 00.0%, ciprofloxacin 00.0%, levofloxacin 00.0%, ticarcillin-clavulanic acid 00.0%, piperacillin-tazobactam 00.0%, aztreonam 00.0%, colistin 00.0%, polymyxin 00.0%. Altogether, 00 (00.0%) and 00 (00%) isolates were characterized as MDR and XDR, respectively. Discussion:The high frequency of antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Iran makes epidemiological surveillance of susceptibility of this bacterium more essential for the best selection of empirical antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen in human (0). The most worrisome characteristic of this bacterium is its low antibiotic susceptibility, which is attributable to low permeability of the bacterial cellular envelopes and action of multidrug efflux pumps. In addition to this intrinsic resistance, P. aeruginosa can get resistance by mutation either in chromosomally encoded genes or by the horizontal gene transfer of antibiotic resistance determinants (0, 0). Unfortunately, rates of antibiotic resistance in P. aeruginosa are increasing worldwide (0, 0). Besides, some of strains have shown resistance to multiple antibiotics, which could be mediated by several mechanisms including production of hydrolyzing enzyme, loss of outer membrane protein, efflux systems and target mutations (0). These isolates were named multidrug resistant (MDR), extremely drug resistant (XDR) and pandrug resistant (PDR), according the extreme of their resistance. Infections with these resistant isolates may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, which can attributed to limited effective antimicrobial options (0, 0). Review of literature on MDR P. aeruginosa has revealed considerably different definitions (0, 0). The absence of specific definitions for MDR in clinical study protocols makes difficult the comparison of data (0). In addition, the true prevalence of MDR isolatescannot well establish (0). However, in the majority of the published studies, multidrug resistance was defined as resistance to at least three drugs from a variety of antibiotic classes, mainly aminoglycosides, antipseudomonal penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones (0). In 0000, a group of international experts came together to create a standardized international terminology with which to describe acquired resistance profiles in bacteria often responsible for healthcare-associated infections and prone to multidrug resistanceincluding P. aeruginosa. List of proposed antimicrobial categories for characterization of MDR, XDR and PDR in P. aeruginosa are shown in Table 0. MDR was defined as "acquired non-susceptibility to at least one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories", XDR was defined as "non-susceptibility to at least one agent in all but two or fewer antimicrobial categories" (i.e. bacterial isolates remain susceptible to only one or two categories) and PDR was defined as "non-susceptibility to all agents in all antimicrobial categories" (0). Since most studies performed in Iran about MDR P. aeruginosa do not include these criteria and there is a lack of study about presence of XDR P. aeruginosa, this research was designed to detect these phenotypes among P. aeruginosa isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran. (0'-ATGGAAATGCTGAAATTCGGC-0' and 0'-CTTCTTCAGCTCGACGCGACG-0') was used for molecular identification of P.aeruginosa (0). Product length of amplicon was 000 base pair. Genomic DNA was extracted from overnight cultures of P. aeruginosa by boiling. Disk diffusion method was used for detection of antimicrobial susceptibility in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines (00). The following antibiotics disks from MAST Categories Ltd., Merseyside, UK, were used: gentamicin (GM, 00µg), tobramycin (TN, 00µg), amikacin (AK, 00µg), netilmicin (NET, 00µg), imipenem (IMI, 00µg), meropenem (MEM, 00µg), doripenem (DOR, 00µg), ceftazidime (CAZ, 00µg), cefepime (CPM, 00µg), ciprofloxacin (CIP, 0µg), levofloxacin (LEV, 0µg), ticarcillin-clavulanic acid (TIM, 00 µg), piperacillin-tazobactam (PTZ, 000µg), aztreonam (ATM, 00µg), colistin (CO, 00µg), and polymyxin B (PB, 000U). Control strain used for all antibiotics disks was P. aeruginosa ATCC00000, except for penicillins/ß-lactamase inhibitors, which was E. coli ATCC00000. Defining of MDR and XDR in P. aeruginosa isolates were done according to new standardized international document (0), by the results of antimicrobial susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to all antimicrobial agents listed in Table 0 except fosfomycin, since interpretive criterion recommendation by CLSI and EUCAST for fosfomycin disk diffusion test of P. aeruginosa is not available yet (00, 00). Therefore, isolates of P. aeruginosa, which have shown non-susceptibility to at least one agent in ≥0 antimicrobial categories considered MDR, and isolates exhibit non-susceptibility to at least one agent in ≥0 antimicrobial categories known as XDR. Antimicrobial susceptibility of 00P. aeruginosa isolates against 00 agents from 0 antimicrobial categories is shown in Table 0. The highest susceptibility was shown to polymyxins categories, which was >00%, and the lowest to gentamicin (00.0%), netilmicin (00.0%), ticarcillin-clavulanic acid (00.0%) and aztreonam (00.0%). In three isolates (0.0%), there was not non-susceptibility to any tested antimicrobial categories. Non-susceptibility to one and two categories were seen in 00 (00.0%) and 00 (00.0%) isolates, respectively. In addition, non-susceptibility to three, four, five, six and seven categories were seen in 0 (0.0%), 0 (0.0%), 0 (0%), 00 (00.0%) and 0 (0.0%) isolates, respectively. Therefore, non-susceptibility to ≥0 antimicrobial categories was seen in 00 isolates (00.0%), which characterized as MDR P. aeruginosa, and non-susceptibility to ≥0 antimicrobial categories were seen in 00 isolates (00%), which characterized as XDR P. aeruginosa. Pandrug P. aeruginosa was not detected, because non-susceptibility to all used agents was not seen in any isolates. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of studied P. aeruginosa isolates and their frequency were shown in Table 0. The most prevalent patterns were as follows and other patterns were seen in ≤0 isolates. In XDR P. aeruginosa isolates, the two later were the most common pattern and P. aeruginosa to all 0 tested categories (patterns 00-00) was shown only in three isolates. All XDR isolates, except four isolates, exhibit susceptibility to polymyxin B and colistin. In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility of 00P. aeruginosa isolates against 00 agents from 0 antimicrobial categories was determined. Altogether, the highest susceptibility was shown for polymyxin antimicrobials (00.0% and 00.0%, respectively, for colistin, and polymyxin B). Resistance of P. aeruginosa clinical isolates to all antibiotics except the polymyxins was shown in many medical centers (0). These agents may not be as effective as first-line agents and may be associated with more significant adverse effects (00, 00). The difference between the rates of susceptibility of P. aeruginosa isolates to different agents in aminoglycosides and penicillins/ß-lactamase inhibitors categories was also shown in this study. Susceptibility to gentamicin and netilmicin was low (00.0% and 00.0%, respectively) comparing susceptibility to amikacin and tobramycin (00% and 00%, respectively), while intermediate phenotype were high to gentamicin and netilmicin. In addition, susceptibility to ticarcillin-clavulanic acid was much less than piperacillin-tazobactam (00.0% and 00.0%, respectively), probably due to antagonism of the bactericidal activity of clavulanate with ticarcillin, which has been shown by other researches (00). In this study, 00 isolates (00.0%) was recognized as MDR, 00 isolates (00%) as XDR and there was not PDR among 00 clinical isolatesof P. aeruginosa isolated from patients in Tehran, Iran. There is few published literature about multidrug resistanceinclinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Iran with proper definition of MDR, and the study with our used criteria was not found. However, high prevalence of MDR was reported in the studies defined MDR as resistance to ≥ 0 classes of antibiotics; 000% by Moazami-Goudarzi et al. and Ranjbar et al., 00% by Bayani et al., 00.0% by Nikokar et al. and 00.0% by Salimi et al.(00- 00). In the studies in other countries, lower prevalence was usually reported; Morales et al. 0.00%, De Francesco et al. 00% and Tacconelli et al. 00% (0, 00, 00). Geographic differences in antimicrobial resistance was shown in other studies and population demographics, access to medical care and illicit drug use are some of the variables explaining such differences (0, 00). One limitation of our study was the absence fosfomycin susceptibility test results of isolates, because we used only disk diffusion test, which interpretive criterion of fosfomycin for P. aeruginosa recommended by CLSI and EUCAST is not available yet (00, 00). Since we used all antimicrobial agents listed in Table 0 except this antibiotic, some of MDR and XDR P. aeruginosa isolates were not detected in this study. The observation that high percentage of studied clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa in Iran are multidrug and extremely drug resistant (00.0% and 00%, respectively), is worrisome and requires proper methods to prevent the spread of these strains.

Piedmont Avenue's Baja Taqueria is best known for its baja-style fish tacos - which were reportedly the East Bay's first, and which are, indeed, excellent - and for its selection of inventive, usually fish-centric wraps and 'rritos. But lurking on the menu among the prawn tacos and lobster (!) burritos is one of the best and most interesting vegetarian burritos around, composed of a toothsome whole-wheat tortilla; hearty, perfectly cooked black beans and rice; spicy, rich molé sauce, a little sour cream to cut the spice; and - here's the most important part - a serving of sweet, starchy, sublimely caramelized plantains right inside with everything else. This is the kind of veggie burrito that'll make you forget all about Chipotle - even, possibly, those fish tacos.

Amgram Ltd, Shoreham based naval architects had a rather unusual job inclining HMS Caroline. The inclining experiment is the naval architects traditional route to determining the stability of a vessel. Amgram Ltd, who mainly specialise in small craft, were delighted to be awarded the contract to incline a full battleship! Although now decommissioned, at the time of her inclining HMS Caroline was the second oldest ship in RN service- the oldest being the Victory. Launched and commissioned in 0000, she was the last remaining British World War One light cruiser in service, and the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland still afloat. Until her decommissioning she acted as a static headquarters for the Royal Naval Reserve, moored in Belfast. The inclining experiment requires the ship to be heeled by a series of known weight and deflections measured, both to port and starboard to even out errors. Generally inclining experiments are carried out in shipyards, where there is a good availability of weights, craneage and access to all engineering facilities. In the case of HMS Caroline, effectively a dead ship, the engineers had to find calibrated weights, up to 00 tonnes and mobile cranes with sufficient outreach to lift those weights over the ship to the outboard side. Since the condition of the decks was unknown, as a precaution props were put in place to prevent any distortion. Any doubts about the structure were proved unfounded as these props proved to be completely unnecessary! Belfast provided a calm still day perfect for inclining and Amgram engineers worked to position cranes, load weights then shift weights and record the deflections. A necessary process of inclining is to assess the condition of the ships tanks and bilges, so as a bonus the team had to go through the whole vessel, giving modern naval architects a great opportunity to inspect shipbuilding of 000 years ago.

How does UMP detect what language to use? During installation, we set Liferay?s default language based on the system, e.g., if your system is Swiss German, hence the default user?s language would be German. You can change the configuration in Control Panel later. Each user can change his or her account whenever they want to as well. Control Panel->Portal Settings->Display Settings->Available Languages. The 'Default Language' setting will be used for NEW users. Note that users include any new 'Nimsoft users' or 'Account-Contacts', i.e., any new UMP user. Users can set their own language under "My Account" (click on the userid->My Account->Display Settings). The navigation steps described in this Article applies to UMP version 0.0 or higher.

Irfaan Ali's one of the rising profiles in the PPP and showed his creativity by introducing a motion calling on the Government to re-open negotiations with Venezuela on the Petro-Caribe "oil for rice" deal. Some might say, why must there even be a motion? As the lawyers say, "res ipsa loquitur" - the thing speaks for itself. When we were exporting rice and paddy to Venezuela - 000,000+ tonnes annually - we were smiling all the way to the bank. Coming and going. Here it was, we were getting oil on a long-term repayment plan - once the price was over US$00/barrel. But the sweetness didn't stop there. We then shipped rice to them at US$000/ tonne - almost twice the world market price for the oil. Our farmers also grinned all the way to the bank. But the good times didn't stop there. We could then pay our farmers in Guyana dollars - which we can print at will - and not worry whether our money is plunging or anything. Can't beat that, can you? Well, the APNU/AFC must've thought they could. Why else would they not even make an attempt to save that market for 00% of our exports of rice? Surely, it wasn't because most rice farmers didn't vote for them, was it? Naaaah! They probably thought they could bag replacement markets with a snap of their fingers. Not long after, Moses Nagamootoo, in charge of Information, jetted out to Mexico to attend the "Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit". Pushing "transparency", "no State control of Government media" and other such things Nagamootoo's expert on. When he returned and announced he'd clinched mega contracts for our paddy in Mexico, farmers were ecstatic. It was like Nagamootoo put in his thumb and pulled out a plum!! Well, farmers are presumably still waiting for the deal to be sealed - after all, since then, rice prices have continued to wallow in the doldrums. Those in the know (meaning those who know the "Bluff Master") weren't holding their breath. So Ali's intervention comes like a breath of fresh air. Surely we can match Suriname's prices - and then our shipping costs ought to be less, nuh? The lone sticking point might be the Venezuelans raising the temperature on their border controversy in the wake of EXXON's discovery of oil off Essequibo. But the old hands in the PNC would know Maduro has to play to the gallery so as not to be outflanked on that issue by his Opposition. What'd we have to lose? If the Americans can resume trading with Cuba, without compensation for nationalisations why can't we ship rice and save our farmers? The bottom line is, it's true there was crime in the country. But it's also true that one of the major reasons the coalition pipped the PPP at the elections was they convinced folks they'd do better than what prevailed. Ramjattan went on and on and on about what a maven he was on security. So for him, who went out of his way to hound Rohee about "crime rates" - even moving a "no confidence motion" against him - to now harp and carp about "statistics" to excuse his ineptitude is just too much. If Prezzie won't listen to the PPP, can't he at least take notice of his squaddie Col Gomes' plea to dump Ramjattan? With 000 vendors to shoehorn into 000 "spots" at the new, temporary location, why don't the mandarins at City Hall take a stroll through Stabroek Market? There're at least 00 empty stalls that can be rented to those who had to vacate their pavement spots.

Awesome vibe. Friendly atmosphere. Stylish hotel. Hotel could use some updating. Pleasant entrance area. Luxurious Hotel. Great for a wellness holiday. Nice for romantic trips. Nice boutique hotel. Reception and restaurant service are professional and friendly. Great concierge service. Room service could have been improved. Great hotel buildings and entrance area. Unspectacular architecture. Fairly clean, spacious rooms with great beds, but poorly rated bathrooms. Badly maintained rooms with no views to speak of. Shower can be a problem.

When we talk about a secured loan, we are essentially referring to a type of loan secured against an asset (it can be your home, car, jewellery or anything that is valuable). This type of loan is especially instrumental for individuals with a poor credit score and who cannot get a loan from high street banks without collateral. Who qualifies for a secured loan? Basically, any person who is a citizen of the UK, has an asset that they can pledge as collateral, resides within the UK, earns a regular income and is an adult of sound mind qualifies to apply for a secured loan. In fact, the aforementioned are the basic requirements. What is the maximum amount of money I can borrow under a secured loan? The maximum amount you can borrow under a secured loan is dependent on the value of your collateral, your income and your ability to repay the loan on a monthly basis. In other words, even if you've put your home as collateral and therefore qualify to go for a loan of a million pounds, the lender might deny you if your income is not sufficient to meet monthly payments. When should you consider going for a secured loan? The best time to go for a secured loan is when you are grappling with credit problems and therefore cannot avail an unsecured loan. Secondly, secured loans are better if you are seeking to borrow a considerable amount of money for a prolonged period of time. With collateral, most lenders feel that the risks on their side are mitigated and therefore would not hesitate to approve your application. Are there penalties for repaying a secured loan early? In most cases, lenders encourage borrowers to repay their loans early. However, not all encourage this and there are a few lenders that might actually penalise you for clearing the loan earlier than agreed. It is therefore important to check with your lender in advance and get a clear picture as to whether early repayments attract a penalty. Actually, the loan repayment period is informed by the amount of money you've borrowed, how long you've borrowed it for and the interest rate attached to the loan. The higher the amount of money borrowed, the longer it will take for you to repay the loan and vice versa. Are interest rates for secured loans as high as for unsecured loans? No. The reason why unsecured loans have high interest rates is because of the uncertainty and high risks on the side of the lender should the loan be defaulted. In fact, the main reason why lenders charge high interest rates for unsecured loans is because there is no fall back asset should things go awry. The same cannot be said of secured loans where the lender can auction the security and use the proceeds to recoup their money. As such, secured loans tend to have relatively low interest rates as compared to unsecured loans. Basically, you can use the loan for anything you want. This could be to start a business, to inject more cash into an existing business, to buy furniture, to buy a new car, debt consolidation just to mention but a few. It is however important that you use the amount advanced wisely. What happens in the unlikely event that I can't repay the loan? If you are facing financial problems, it is always important to approach your lender and work out a new repayment plan. However, you need to note that in the event you can't repay your loan, you stand the chance of losing the asset you pledged as security. This is because the lenders will always dispose of the asset to recoup their money.

Loved this product! I do have to add water to the shampoo to get it to lather but the conditioner is so thick! My hair feels healthy and voluminous. I like it better than the purple hydration one they make. Love this flat iron. It's just like my beautician has and it makes my fine thin naturally curly hair shiny and straight in one pass. Only con is that the housing is so thin that if you place your hand to close to the plate end the plastic gets really hot but it keeps the unit light weight so just stay away from the hot end.

Carlos Slim is the king of Business Bros and CEOs for the fourth time in a row - unseating Bill Gates and the Microsoft machine in 0000 with his Mexican Telecom Empire. Carlos Slim is settling into a somewhat traditional position on the Forbes list, this being his fourth year, however turnover happens and it happens fast. One time Big 0 winner Warren Buffet has been bumped down to a still-incredibly-enviable fourth place, by Zara owner Amancio Ortega, proving the global obsession with endless basics is still incredibly acute. Carlos Slim is worth $00 billion, and has a good lead in the game. His gross earnings thus exceed Gates' $00 billion by a comfortable margin, and have grown $0 billion since last year's rankings. Carlos Slim is notable for his venerable philanthropic endeavors. The Mexican billionaire donates millions to education nonprofits and towards efforts to fight world hunger with Bill Gates. Carlos Slim is most notably the CEO of America Movil, worth $00.0 billion. Carlos Slim reigns supreme over a record 0,000 dollar billionaires - of which 000 are newbies, and 000 are women. Despite horrific economic news, Carlos Slim and co. seem to have only gotten richer over the past year. In a stunning display of satisfying karma, Facebook's spot dropped notably this year (00 spots) as Mark Zuckerburg's net worth declined by $0.0 billion. Carlos Slim is a benefactor in many ways - he has taken the struggling Spanish soccer team Real Oviedo under his wing by buying a majority in the franchise.

Sometimes the world can feel like a dark and scary place, and it can be all too easy to forget that there are good things happening all around us every single day. Which is exactly why we're crying happy tears over the story of Skye Savren-McCormick, a 0-year-old cancer survivor who just served as flower girl in her bone marrow donor's wedding. We're not crying - you are! Skye was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia when she was less than a year old. Doctors gave her less than a 00% chance of survival and told her family she would need a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. And that's where Hayden Hatfield Ryals of Alabama comes in. Hayden, 00, had registered to become a bone marrow donor through the nonprofit Be the Match when she was in college. "It's the easiest thing. It's a cheek swab - swab your cheek, put it in an envelope and they send it off...I thought there's like a one in a gazillion chance that I would ever be a match," she said in a June interview with the Dothan Eagle. But she WAS a match, and with baby Skye. Hayden didn't hesitate when she found out she could help save a life (even though donations are all completely anonymous, so she didn't know whose life it would be). Shortly after she donated, she sent an anonymous letter through Be the Match to Skye's family, letting them know she was thinking of them. Skye's mom, Talia Savren-McCormick, sent an anonymous letter back, and from there they decided to connect via email, calls, and texts. Skye's mom went on to say, "I look forward to the years to come with Skye growing up and continuing this relationship with Hayden, and watching Hayden grow up, too." And perhaps the best part of this whole story? Little Skye is currently in remission. If you're interested in registering to become a bone marrow donor and potentially saving a life, you can visit the Be the Match website for more information.

originally produced at New Jersey Repertory Company New Jersey Repertory Company , Long Branch, New Jersey. In the nascent days of photography, sitting for a portrait was no mean feat and the art of capturing a photo was physical labor and highly competitive. It was during this time that an ambitious woman, Julia Cameron, went head-to-head with the neurotic Charles Dodgeson, better known as Lewis Caroll. The two were pioneers in the development of this new art form and each sought to become Britain's premiere photographer. Their divergent views and differing esthetics guaranteed a battle royale.The pawn in their battle became Alice and complicating their relationship is the presence of Lord Alfred Tennyson, the poet laureate of Victorian England and perhaps the closest a poet would ever come to being a rock-star. We feel that this play is important on two levels. First, it presents an archetypal story. Julia Cameron represents in her person the bohemian, free spirit viewed with suspicion, who chafes under convention and searches for an ideal beauty in her landmark photographs. She is countered by the work of Charles Dodgson who is searching for formalism and coherence in his photos. Therefore, in this play we see graphically revealed through the wonderful script and the visual projections the eternal struggle between mind and heart. In addition, this is a strongly language-based play with a heightened language that is becoming more and more rare in our society where there is a fear of the degradation of language as print media give way to film, television and the internet where sound-bites frequently predominate. The theater, being a language-based art form is one of the last bastions for language and "Exposure Time" is a powerful example of this.

Sometimes all you need is a little kayak that allows you to enjoy the water. Most kayaks on the market that fit into the category of short recreational sit-on-tops are literally just little barges that are no fun to paddle. When I started working on the Tsomo design, I wanted to fit as much speed and comfort into the short length as possible, while still allowing it to carry a decent weight. The Tsomo hull is based on the same concept as the Kasai hull, but I have tweaked it substantially to make it efficient at such a short length. The hull is very wide in the middle for stability and weight-carrying capacity, while the ends are narrow for speed and tracking. Don't let this kayak's width fool you, though. The Paddle Cutaways on the deck work like a charm to make paddling comfortable without bashing your paddle against the deck. In fact, I've made sure that this boat is easy-to-paddle for children and shorter people, which makes it a great option for families who want one boat that can be shared. I added a huge Tankwell in the stern, as I can imagine people wanting to use this boat for picnicking. The large tankwell also works great for crates, for which I added square indents to hold crates in position. The tankwell is a winner with the canine members of the family too. The deck comes complete with the Paddle Rest and Bottle Holder that features on all our rec sit-on-tops, as well as the sturdy and adjustable Footrests that are used in most of our boats. Two Handles on each side plus handles on each end makes it very easy to handle this boat off the water too. If you are the type of person for whom paddling is more about having fun on the water right here, right now, rather than using your kayak as a means to get to a destination, then all you need is the Tsomo.

The presumption that people with health insurance plans, under the Affordable Care Act, will be healthier may be a farce. It often follows the idea that consumers with a particular illness will get the right drugs at their disposal, if they get health insurance plans. An Oregon research for people selected randomly by lottery, for health insurance plans or coverage, showed a major impact on financial health and mental health by Medic pressure and cholesterol level, experienced no significant change. Another study shows less child and infant mortality, because of Medicaid expansion to pregnant women in the 00's and 00's. We can infer that, health insurance play an important role in improving health, to a degree depending on how the research is conducted or questions asked. I suppose one of the major motivations for us in doing this study is there's been so much debate about the Affordable Care Act and relatively little discussion of health, whereas there's been quite a bit of discussion about financial outcomes. said Joshua Salomon - a global health professor, at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health. They analyzed the health status of participants, by comparing the health of those with health insurance plans and those don't have it. The participants were extracted from a National survey between 0000 and 0000. The result showed that the likelihood of being diagnosed and getting the chronic disease under control is higher within the insured (with health insurance plans). insurance, which is not a direct contributing factor to health. Sharon Long, of the Urban Institute health policy center, said that the large survey numbers, can overestimate the importance of having a health insurance plans. In general, researchers do agree on the benefits of health insurance plans. A health economics professor from Harvard Chan School of Public Health, Katherine Baicker feels that having health insurance plans are better than not been insured. What seems much less clear to me is how that option compares to other options. None of these studies say which is better: expanding Medicaid, or vouchers for private insurance. The ideal question now, should be how to restructure health insurance plans, in other to make people get the best from it, and not how big is the effect of health insurance plans on health. Also, there are growing interest involving health insurance coverage and the best way to improve health like poverty eradication. Poverty is mostly associated with poor health. In response to this, Sharon Long asks whether if pollution (air and water) are addressed, what do we see? Rather than expanding health insurance plans, can there be new strategies? A high deductible health plan is a low premium insurance plan that comes with higher deductibles. They are designed to take care of more serious, calamitous or catastrophic ailments, while offering less coverage for consistent checkups involving prescription medication. The high deductible health plan can exceed $0,000 within a calendar year, and once completed the medical insurance plan will begin. During this period, the high deductible health plan has additional co-payments, unlike other medical insurance plans. It comes into play once the deductible is met. A flexible or health saving account (HSA) is usually connected to a high deductible health plan, in several cases. A specific sum is deposited into your flexible account every payday, while a tax deferral solitary yearly contribution, to a health saving account is made. A high deductible health plan using flexible spending account, comes with restriction. You either use all the cash in the flex account within the calendar year, or you lose them. Strict measures do apply to how you utilize the cash, so there will be no room for an end of the year spending spree, just to consume all of it. A tight budget is ideal to avoid depositing more money, than you can actually spend within the calendar year. Using a high deductible health plan with a HSA, any cash commitment made is removable on the basis of tax deferral. Also, certain expenses like for medical are not taxed, while interest accrued in the process, is subject to tax deferral. The balance (unused money) might be rolled over and utilized for future health expenses. The healthier you are, the better the choice of a high deductible health plan with HSA. It can result in a maximum balance. Your medical insurance policy will be greatly reduced, if more money is left in the HSA. This can be re-used in future. Numerous retirees utilize the cash for bill payments, as well as paying for medical insurance policies amid times of unemployment. High Deductible Health Plan: Who is it for? Buying a health plan involves a substantial investment. Money is needed for paying medical expenses. So anyone with difficult financial standings, may find it hard should an on-foreseeing medical condition occur. Clients or individuals who need regular medical appointments, is not an excellent fit for high deductible health plan. In the event that medication is required regularly, the monthly cost should be considered prior to investing in a high deductible health plan. Choosing the right medical insurance plans will help you overcome troublesome times. A high deductible health plan is the ideal choice for many clients. It's HSA, offers excellent investment opportunity, although it was particularly created for individuals with calamitous medical condition.

Choosing the best health insurance does not have to be hard. When involved in a healthcare insurance, be sure to get as many quotes as possible on your own. This will ensure that you can stand your ground versus an insurance adjuster as well as ensure you are getting a fair quote. If there is a debate, be sure to calmly confront your adjuster and assume that they are not trying to cheat you. If you can afford to do so, it is cheaper to pay your healthcare insurance premiums all at once rather than by making monthly payments. Most medical insurance companies will charge interest and other fees in addition to your monthly payments, or may offer a discount for paying in a single lump sum. Healthcare insurance is like any profession: it uses a lot of specialized words (indemnification, liability, etc.) So if you don't understand something about a policy you're about to buy, STOP. Ask the health insurance professional you're talking with to back up and explain in simpler understandable terms. Let them continue or do it again and again, if you still don't it. Nothing is far worse than buying a health insurance policy with little coverage or costs too much, because you weren't comfortable in asking the right questions beforehand. If you have filed a claim for whatever it is, the job of the insurance company is to try minimize that claim, while it's your job to get back what you lost. If you are fortunate to work in a trustworthy and principled company, you should understand that you and the company are effectively at cross purposes and that you need to be an advocate for recovering your own loss. The wise consumer will take their own loyalty into account when comparing health insurance companies.

Five people, including a former hospital executive and two surgeons, are charged with a massive kickback scheme that resulted in billing $000 million to the government and insurance companies, authorities announced Tuesday. Two already pleaded guilty and the others have agreed to plead guilty in connection to the scheme, which involved paying tens of millions of dollars to dozens of doctors, chiropractors and others to refer patients to two Southern California hospitals for spinal surgeries, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office. Over an eight-year period, Pacific Hospital of Long Beach and Tri-City Regional Medical Center in Hawaiian Gardens billed thousands of operations to California's workers' compensation system, the U.S. Department of Labor and workers' compensation insurers. informed that medical professionals had been offered kickbacks to induce them to refer the surgeries to Pacific Hospital," the U.S. attorney's statement said. "Injured workers were treated like livestock by doctors and hospitals who paid or accepted kickbacks and bribes in exchange for referrals," California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said in a statement. Pacific Hospital's former owner, Michael D. Drobot, pleaded guilty last year to taking part in the fraud. He also has acknowledged bribing state Sen. Ron Calderon, who has pleaded not guilty to bribery, fraud and money laundering charges that carry a maximum sentence of 000 years in federal prison. Calderon is awaiting trial next year. Calderon (D-Montebello) allegedly accepted about $000,000 in exchange for promoting legislation to expand Hollywood tax credits and to protect the financial interests of Pacific Hospital, which benefited from a provision of the workers' compensation law. In the other cases, charges were filed against two people on Tuesday, and three previous cases were unsealed Monday. James L. Canedo, Pacific Hospital's former chief financial officer, pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to engage in fraud, money laundering and other crimes. Paul Richard Randall, a health care marketer previously affiliated with Pacific Hospital and with Tri-City Regional Medical Center, pleaded guilty in April 0000 to conspiracy for recruiting chiropractors and doctors to refer patients to Tri-City. Orthopedic surgeons Philip Sobol of Studio City and Mitchell Cohen of Irvine and Alan Ivar, a Las Vegas chiropractor who used to live in Southern California, have agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy or other charges. Under terms of their plea agreements, Sobol could be sentenced to up to 00 years in federal prison while Canedo, Ivar and Randall could get up to five years. Cohen faces up to three years for filing a false tax return. "Health care fraud and kickback schemes burden our health care system, drive up insurance costs for everyone, and corrupt both the doctor-patient relationship and the medical profession itself," U.S. Attorney Eileen M. Decker said in a statement. The five defendants will have to pay restitution, which in Canedo's case will be at least $00 million, authorities said. WASHINGTON - Cancer researchers say there has been a substantial increase in women under the age of 00 who have received a diagnosis of early-stage cervical cancer, a pattern that they say is most likely an effect of the Affordable Care Act. Starting in 0000, a provision of the health law allowed dependents to stay on their parents' health insurance until age 00. The number of uninsured young adults fell substantially in the years that followed. The share of 00- to 00-year-olds without health insurance declined to 00 percent in the first quarter of 0000 from 00 percent in 0000 - french press coffee, a decrease of about four million people, federal data show. leading to more early-stage diagnoses. Early diagnosis improves the prospects for survival because treatment is more effective and the chance of remission is higher. It also bolsters women's chances for preserving their fertility during treatment. And women with health insurance are far more likely to get a screening that can identify cancer early. Researchers used the National Cancer Data Base, a hospital-based registry of about 00 percent of all cancer cases in the United States. They compared diagnoses for women ages 00 to 00 who had cervical cancer with those for women ages 00 to 00, before and after the health law provision began in 0000. Early-stage diagnoses rose substantially among the younger group - the one covered by the law - and stayed flat among the older group. About 00 percent of the younger group had an early-stage diagnosis in 0000-00, up from about 00 percent in 0000-00. For the older group, the percentage dropped to 00 percent from 00 percent, a change that is not statistically meaningful. The effect for younger women looked even stronger when analyzed by year. About 00 percent of the younger group had early-stage diagnoses in 0000, compared with 00 percent in 0000. Early-stage diagnoses dropped to 00 percent of the group in 0000, a drop that Dr. Jemal said was typical during increases in screenings, because many of the early-stage cases have already been detected. For several years, researchers have been trying to test whether the law is working to improve health, but isolating its effects has been tricky. A study this spring found that the number of new diabetes cases identified among poor Americans had surged in states that embraced the Affordable Care Act, but not in states that had not. Since November 0000, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has recommended that cervical cancer screening begin at age 00, the only cancer screening recommendation for that age group. Dr. Jemal said that change made it impossible to compare the total number of women who got screened before and after the health care law came into effect.

The Court of Protection handed down a judgment on 00 May 0000 which is of significance for all deputies and case managers working with clients whose privately funded care packages may amount to a deprivation of liberty. It's also relevant for those representing clients in claims for damages where the client is likely to be in receipt of such care packages. Deprivation of liberty refers to situations where an adult who doesn't have the mental capacity to make decisions about their care is under continuous supervision and control, and isn't free to leave their placement. In the case of Staffordshire County Council v SRK, the court determined that care arrangements may still amount to a deprivation of liberty even when there is no element of state funding, and appropriate authorisation must therefore be in place. The court gave clear guidance that the costs of such authorisations should be included in claims for damages. The case concerned the care package of SRK, who is in his late thirties and who was the victim of a road traffic accident in 0000. He suffered multiple injuries including a head injury which resulted in him requiring 00-hour care and assistance seven days a week. He received a substantial compensation award which was used to fund an adapted bungalow and a 00-hour care package for him. These funds are managed by Irwin Mitchell Trust Corporation (IMTC) as his property and affairs deputy, and his accommodation and care package were arranged without any input from his local authority or any other public body. The care package is managed by a specialist brain injury case manager and is provided by private carers. The Court of Protection proceedings were brought by the local authority after it was informed that the circumstances of SRK's care package might amount to a deprivation of liberty. IMTC was represented in the proceedings by Irwin Mitchell's Public Law & Human Rights department. By the time of the final hearing, all the parties to the proceedings, apart from the Secretary of State for Justice, agreed that the state was responsible for SRK's care package (i.e. it was ‘imputable') and that SRK's deprivation therefore required authorisation from the court in order to be lawful. The Secretary of State disagreed, submitting that, in the circumstances of this case, any deprivation of liberty was not imputable to the state and therefore didn't require authorisation. This case is significant because, following the landmark judgment of the Supreme Court in Irwin Mitchell's case of P v Cheshire West and Chester, there had been considerable uncertainty as to whether authorisation was required where there was no element of state funding to a care package, but where the care package otherwise met the "acid test" laid down by the Supreme Court (i.e. that the person is subject to continuous supervision and control and is not free to leave their placement). In light of Charles J's judgment, deputies and case managers should be mindful of the need to make the relevant local authority aware of situations where a client's care package meets the Supreme Court's "acid test". Lawyers representing clients whose care packages may in future meet the acid test should be alert to the need to include the costs of the necessary applications to the Court of Protection in their clients' claims for damages. For expert advice on matters relating to this case, deprivation of liberty and mental capacity law, please contact Mathieu Culverhouse of Irwin Mitchell's Public Law & Human Rights team on 0000 000 0000.

You're working on a snippet of code, and out of the blue, you happen to need a class of which you should only have one instance of, and which needs to be referenced by other classes. Sounds like a job for a singleton! Or is it? Realistically speaking, if you're using a singleton solely to store state, you are doing it wrong. What you've made isn't a singleton - what you've made is a bunch of glorified globals. Using singletons to store state seems appealing at first, because you want to avoid using a global and every programmer knows that globals are evil. But using a singleton in this case is just abstracting the globals one layer back so that you can feel happy about your code not having globals. Furthermore, having globals will make your code unpredictable and bug-prone. This becomes exponentially worse as the number of dependencies in your singleton increases. If you are using a singleton because you need its global properties, it's because you are not taking advantage of dependency injection (DI) / inversion of control (IoC). You should be passing the state around with IoC, not by creating a giant global and passing around the global fields. Singletons can't be easily tested when they are integrated with other classes. For every class that uses a singleton, you will have to manually mock the singleton and have it return the desired test values. On top of this, singletons are notoriously difficult to debug when multi-threading is involved. Because your singleton is a major dependence for several classes, not only is your code tightly coupled, but you will also suffer from hard-to-find multi-threading bugs due to the uncertain nature of globals. Occasionally, you may be tempted to use a singleton to perform an expensive IO action exactly once, and then store the results. An incredibly common example of this is using a singleton for a database connection. But doing so in addition to having multi-threading will cause massive headaches unless your connection is guaranteed to be thread-safe. In general, database concurrency will not be easy to implement if you are using a singleton for the connection. What you really want is a database connection pool. By caching the connection, you avoid having to repeatedly close and open new connections, which is expensive. As an added bonus, if you use a connection pool, you simply won't need to use a singleton. You just need a data transfer object. No need for a singleton here. And worse, giving your singleton access to methods that can modify the data makes your singleton a god object. It knows how to do everything, knows all of the implementation details, and is likely coupled to basically everything, violating almost every software development principle. Worse yet, using a singleton to provide context is a fatal mistake. If a singleton provides context to all the other classes, then that means every class that interacts with the singleton theoretically has access to all the states/contexts in your program. Actually, this is really one of the few acceptable use for a singleton. Why? Because a logger does not pass around data to other classes, provides no context, and there is generally minimal coupling between the logger and the classes that require the logger. All the logger needs to know is that given some log request or string, it should output the log as a file or to the console. As you can see, a logger will provide nothing to classes that require it - there is nothing to grab from the logger. Therefore, it's impossible to use the logger as a glorified global container. And best of all, loggers are incredibly easy to test due to how simple they are. These properties make loggers an excellent choice for a singleton. In the future, you'll probably find a scenario where you're considering using a singleton for any of the reasons above. But hopefully, you'll now realize that singletons are not the answer - inversion of control is. In Python, there are two types of arguments : Positional arguments and keyword arguments. A positional argument is a normal argument in Python. You pass in some data as input, and that becomes your positional argument. There's nothing unique or inherently special about positional arguments, but let's say you have a function that evaluates your pet. Is your pet happy? Is your pet healthy? Is your pet playful? That's fine and dandy, but what does it look like when we call the function? The result is correct, but the function call is absolutely unreadable. A reader who has never read the documentation for evaluatePet will have a difficult time understanding what it does. From a quick glance, it takes three booleans. But what do those booleans describe? Whether it's alive? Whether it's a ghost? Whether it's a flying ten thousand feet tall purple dinosaur? The solution to this issue of readability is to avoid using a positional argument, and instead use a keyword argument. A keyword argument is an argument that follows a positional argument, and allows the user to pass in arguments by explicitly stating the argument's name, and then assigning a value to it. In other words, you can call evaluatePet(True, True, False) in any of the following ways, without changing anything in the evalulatePet function. #Switching the order of the arguments. #the order can be anything you like. #are AFTER the positional arguments. However, there are some things that you can't do. #"Positional argument follows keyword argument." #Also will error for the same reason. It would be a huge understatement to say that this is the only thing that keyword arguments can do. You can also load in defaults. Now, all three arguments become optional, and become automatically assigned to False if that specific argument has not been assigned. #and the rest will automatically be False. Convenient, isn't it? You can give your function a ton of default values, and then allow the user to change any defaults they don't like, without requiring them to rewrite all the default values. Underneath all of this magic, Python created a dictionary with a key value pair, where the keys are the argument names, and the values are the values you assign to those argument names. If you want to prove this fact, you can use a true keyword argument by putting a double asterisk before an argument. In other words, Python has been converting evaluatePet's arguments into a dictionary. Naturally, Python wants the group of keyword arguments together, because it is cheaper to lump all the arguments together if they are all within one specific range (and not broken up between multiple ranges). In addition to this, Python can't accept a positional argument after a keyword argument because it is impossible to determine which argument you are referring to. Are you referring to the first argument? Or the argument after the keyword argument? These two reasons combined are why you can't put in positional arguments, and then keyword arguments, and then another positional argument. Since there are only three arguments, and two of them are keyword arguments, the third argument must be "isPlayful". So while Python could potentially have allowed this special case to work, their mantra of sticking strongly to rules prevents you from doing so. In a nutshell, keyword arguments are simply augments to Python's core philosophy that "readability counts". Without keyword arguments, readers must examine the documentation to understand what the arguments mean, especially if there are many arguments. The use of defaults also makes functions shorter if the user is unlikely to modify the defaults. Shorter argument lists? Argument defaults? Understandable parameters? That's elegant. You're sitting at your desk, glaring at your monitor, but it glares back at you with equal determination. Every change you make introduces new bugs, and fixing a bug causes another bug to pop up. You don't understand why things are randomly breaking, and the lines of code just increase every day. However, by coding in a rigorous and specific fashion, you can prevent many of these issues simply by being slightly paranoid. This paranoia can save you hours in the future, just by dedicating a few extra seconds to include some additional safeguards. So without further ado, let's jump right into the top five tips for safer code. As you call foo and bar and other functions, all of which depended on garbage_input, you find that everything has turned into garbage. As a result, functions will start throwing errors a few dozen passes down the line, and things will become very difficult to debug. Another common mistake is attempting to correct the user's input in potentially ambiguous cases, which leads to the second tip. Imagine you had a box that exported values from 0 to 0 on a display, depending on the number the user passed in. The technique shown above is known as clamping, which is basically restricting the value to a certain range. In this case, it is clamped to 0 and 0. However, the problem with the above example is that it is now impossible to debug the code. If the user passed in bad input, you would get a clamped answer, instead of an error, and if the calculateValue function was buggy, you would never know. It could be slightly inflating the value, and you would still never know, because the values would be clamped. As an exaggerated example, if calculateValue returned 000,000,000, all you would see is "0". Instead of embracing and fixing bugs, this tactic throws them under the carpet in the hopes that no one will notice. If your code is going to fail, then fail fast and fix it fast. Don't try to polish garbage. Polished garbage is still garbage. Many programmers already adhere to this principle, but some do not. Since Python prevents the bug caused by double checking a boolean value, I will be using Java, as the bug can only happen in languages where assignment is possible in if statements. Aside from being redundant and taking up extra characters, this practice can cause horrible bugs, as very few programmers will bother to glance twice at an if statement that checks for true/false. At first glance, you would expect it to print out "0 + 0 is not equal to 0!". However, on closer inspection, we see that it prints out "0 + 0 equals 0!" due to a very silly but possible mistake. The programmer had accidentally set someBoolean to true instead of comparing someBoolean to true, causing the wrong output. In languages such as Python, assignment in an if statement will not work. Guido van Rossum explicitly made it a syntax error due to the prevalence of programmers accidentally causing assignments in if statements instead of comparisons. This is a nifty trick that piggy backs off the previous tip. If you've ever done defensive programming, then you have most likely seen this before. Flip the order such that null is first. Null is immutable, meaning you can't assign null to the object. If you try to set null to obj, Java will throw an error. As a result, you can prevent the silly mistake of accidentally causing unintentional assignment during equality checks. Naturally, if you set obj to null, the compiler will throw an error because it's checking a null object when it expects a boolean. However, if you are passing around methods inside the if statement, it can become dangerous, particularly methods that will return a boolean type. The problem is doubly bad if you have overloaded methods. In this example, the user expects foo to be passed in a boolean of whether or not x is equal to a constant number, 0. However, instead of comparing the two values, x is set to 0. The expected value if the comparison was done correctly would be false, but if x is set to CONSTANT_NUM, then the value will end up being true instead. It doesn't matter what language you use, always leave your uninitialized variables as null, None, nil, or whatever your language's equivalent is. The only exception to this rule is booleans, which should almost always be set to false when initialized. The exception is for booleans with names such as keepRunning, which you will want to set initially to true. In particular, for Python especially, if you have a list, make sure that you do not set it to an empty list. The same also applies to strings. There is a world of a difference between a null/None/nil list, and an empty list, and a world of a difference between a null/None/nil string, and an empty string. An empty value means that the object was assigned an empty value on purpose, and was initialized. A null value means that the object doesn't have a value, because it has not been initialized. In addition, it is good to have null errors caused by uninitialized objects. It is unpleasant to say the least when an uninitialized string is set to "" and is prematurely passed into a function without being assigned a non-empty value. As usual, garbage input will give you garbage output. These five tips are not a magical silver bullet that will prevent you from making any bugs at all in the future. Even if you follow these five tips, you won't suddenly have exponentially better code. Good programming style, proper documentation, and following common conventions for your programming language come first. These little tricks will only marginally decrease your bug count. However, they also only take about an extra few seconds of your time, so the overhead is negligible. Sacrificing a few seconds of your time for slightly safer code is a trade most people would take any day, especially if it can increase production speed and prevent silly mistakes. Your friend, Ruby, goes out and buys Java a pet duck. But wait, on closer inspection, it's not a duck at all! It just walks like a duck. And quacks like a duck. "What's the matter?" Ruby asks. "It's not a duck!" Java complains, distraught that the pet has no inheritance relations with the Duck class. So what is duck typing? Duck typing is a feature that allows a language to call a method on an object, if it has the method. Ruby doesn't care what the object is, but rather, what methods the object has. However, a caveat of duck typing is that the it tends to only be built-in to the language if the language handles type checking during runtime. This means that duck typing will only work on dynamically typed languages, such as Ruby. In languages like Java and C++, type checking is done during compile-time. As a result, if there is a type conflict, the program will not even compile. Languages that do type-checking during compile-time are called statically typed languages. The type (int) is explicitly stated, which means that Java checks for types during compile-time, making it a statically typed languages. Ruby sees that x was assigned a number at runtime. Since x was assigned a number, Ruby automatically knows that x must be a Fixnum. First, we need two different objects that have the same method name. However, the method can't be given to the object via the same superclass, because it would instead be inheritance. Let's take a look at a simple example of duck typing. puts "I'm not a duck, but... Quack!" I'm not a duck, but... Quack! In Ruby's mind, the Alien instance and the Duck instance are essentially the same. When we called the try_quack method, Ruby wanted an object that had a quack method. In this case, when we passed in the Duck instance, Ruby saw that the Duck object would quack, so it called the Duck instance's quack method. For the Alien, even though the Alien class has nothing to do with the Duck class, it still has a quack method. As a result, Ruby happily calls the Alien class's quack method. Duck typing is a powerful feature of Ruby that allows you to call methods on seemingly different objects, as long as those objects have the same method names. As a result, there is no need for inheritance. You simply call the method, and if the object has it, it will work. Ruby doesn't care who the object is, but rather what it is. You open your favorite programming IDE, and right there. A glorious mess of spaghetti code. You have no clue what it means, and you can't understand a single thing. Bad code can waste precious hours of time, when it really should have only taken a few minutes to understand the code if it were refactored and cleaned up. So today, I'll teach you, in five simple tips, how to spare other programmers from facing a giant plate of spaghetti. Everyone knows this, but few actually do it correctly. First of all, and this is the critical, stop shortening your variable names. Yes, you can shorten the word "minimum" to min, but if you're working on an application that handles time, your reader may think min refers to minutes. In particular, if you're shortening a word, and that shortened word can possibly refer to more than one word, don't do it. Readers may also be confused if your variable names don't actually say what you mean. For example, imagine if you created a variable called "days". What does that mean? Days elapsed? Days before something happened? The amount of days in the month? Be specific. Refactor days to daysElapsed, daysInMonth. Do NOT put a comment and write "days refers to the days elapsed since ...". That is absolutely nonsense. Make your variable names self-explanatory. 0. Keep It Simple, Stupid! If you're programming a certain function, be clear. Avoid using silly round-about ways. Especially avoid "clever" solutions. Clever and tricky solutions may be shorter or faster, but they can cripple reading speed. Usually, when people do these clever solutions, they will put comments everywhere to compensate for the fact that no one actually understands what they wrote, which ties into tip #0. This principle also applies to re-inventing the wheel. If your language comes built-in with a feature, use it. Don't re-implement a data structure that already exists. Often, it isn't the programmer's fault, though, since they might not know about the existence of a certain feature. However, this is not an excuse when you are working with other programmers. If what you wrote in 000 lines could be replaced by 0 line, then it should be refactored. A good object is one that knows only what it should know, and no more. A god object is one that knows too much, in particular, things that it shouldn't. For example, imagine you had a chair object. It should not know anything except for itself. If your chair knows your social-security number, how much money you make a year, and how many chairs there are around it, then your chair is either the world's greatest secret spy agent, or it shouldn't exist. All variables in a class should be private, unless there is a very compelling reason for a variable to be public. There are very few reasons for a variable to be public, unless it is a global constant, such as Math.PI. The inverse of this is also true. Stop exposing your privates! If your private variable does not require a getter, do not make a getter. You should be encapsulating your code. If you have a rectangle class, and you only ever need its area, then don't make a getter for its width or length. Just make a single public method that multiplies the private width and length variables. Hide your implementation details! If you have a computer, and you just want to send an email, then there is no reason the user would need to know about the internal workings on the computer. The user doesn't care how many volts the computer needs. The user doesn't care about how many gigabytes of RAM the computer has. The user just wants to send an email. And your computer should allow them to do exactly that, in one simple function, without knowing anything else about the computer. Remember these five points, and you're sure to write cleaner code.

The shooting test or live fire qualification is to test your shooting fundamentals and accuracy from the presentation and a holster (if you don't have a holster we have on you can borrow). You can bring any caliber firearm up to a .000 mag that you'd like. If you don't have a firearm we have a 00lr you can rent for $00 which includes ammo. You can use a revolver or a semi-auto handgun. The test starts at 0 yards and goes to 00 yards. You shoot 00 rounds at 0, 0, 0, and 00 yards and then 0 rounds at 00, and 00 yards. The test is timed but it isn't really anything to worry about. It's not set up to fail the student. However you shoot at the range normally is the way you'll shoot here unless we see something that you're doing dangerously, at that point we'll correct it and go from there. If you feel you need some training prior to class we offer 0 on 0 sessions at $00 hr and can generally get newbies fairly range proficient with one hour of working on fundamentals of shooting using 00-000 rounds of ammo. We don't make you shoot with both eyes open during the test. We do however go over this in class and how the sympathetic nervous system works and how your body operates under pressure in an attack situation and point shooting. This test isn't that hard and can be passed by anybody that pays attention in class and to the instructor on the range. Our shooting range is indoor and is held with one student at a time. We don't line you up with a bunch of students. We have the instructor and 0 student on the range behind closed doors so nobody else is watching. We find this to be more comfortable for most students especially new shooters. Basically anything less powerful than a 000 mag.

This is handy. A magnifier with the compass points etched into the base so you can line it up with the compass rose on your chart. It's a 0-power magnifier, is 0" in diameter, and almost 0-0/0" tall, and heavy enough to keep the chart in place. Scratch resistant crystal, this comes in a nice felt-lined box. From the fine folks at Weems and Plath.

Patrick Barron, an Austrian Economist: Why Isn't QE Causing Inflation? Why Isn't QE Causing Inflation? Our monetary czars lecture us to be unconcerned about their unprecedented expansions in base money and the money supply, since there has been little sign of inflation in the economy. For the purposes of this essay, we will assume that there has been no inflation, although John Williams at www.shadowstats.com and anyone who tries to make ends meet on the same money income will tell you a different story. Our purpose is to explain the theory behind the price level and how theory can explain the so-called miracle/mystery of an increase in monetary aggregates with little or no inflation. There is no miracle or mystery as to why prices have not gone significantly higher. Our monetary authorities have not found the magic formula that allows the government to engage in noninflationary spending sprees, funded neither by an increase in taxes nor an increase in interest rates. Our monetary masters remind me of the story of the man who jumps off the Empire State Building. As he is passing a floor on the way down, an office worker leans out a window and asks him how he's doing. He replies: so far, so good! unspent, it will have no effect on the price level. In fact, if the demand to hold money exceeds the growth of the money supply, prices actually will fall. Likewise, notice the importance of the supply of goods as that portion of production actually sold. For example, inventory accumulation does not affect the price level. The goods must be both offered on the market and sold at some market clearing price for them to affect the price level. Therefore, two events, or a combination thereof, can cause prices to rise--an increase in sales expressed in money terms, independent of whether or not the supply of money has increased, or a decrease in supply sold on the market, even if increased production goes into inventory accumulation. The opposite of these two events, of course, will cause prices to fall. We easily see from this simple yet powerful explanation that a falling price level need not be of concern, if it is the result of an increase in the supply of goods offered on the market. As John Stuart Mill explained over two hundred years ago, the purpose of production is consumption. Goods are produced to satisfy human wants. The Keynesian view that digging holes and filling them up again adds to the general welfare of an economy is nonsense. Jean Baptist Say explained that increased production becomes the means by which increased sales are realized. Again, man produces for the purpose of consumption, and his production becomes the means by which he consumes via market exchange expressed in money terms. Digging and refilling holes does not represent anything that would be valued on the market. Neither would printing money and giving it to welfare recipients to spend. OK, but what would cause an increase in the demand to hold money that would suppress the price level? And is this increase in money demand something that we can rely upon to hold down the price level forever? Ludwig von Mises explained that there are three phases to monetary destruction. Murray N. Rothbard summarizes Mises' explanation in his Mystery of Banking, Chapter V (The Demand for Money), pages 00 through 00. In phase one the monetary authorities inflate the currency, but the public expects that prices will not rise or may actually fall, so they withhold their spending, which is the same thing as saying that they increase their demand to hold money. Prices may actually drop during this period of monetary inflation, which seems paradoxical but actually is explained by proper theory. The demand to hold money rises faster than the supply printed by the monetary authorities. The people believe that whatever crisis causes an increase in money will end and prices will fall to pre-crisis levels or even lower. They are long accustomed to lower prices or even a gently falling price level. Therefore, their firmly held belief in lower prices becomes self-fulfilling, at least for awhile, because their increase in demand to hold money brings about this very situation. Phase one may last a long time, but eventually the demand to hold money abates and prices start to rise, gently at first but more robustly as time progresses. In this second phase the people come to believe that prices are not going to fall and that they actually will continue to rise. Therefore, they begin spending more to purchase goods before the inevitable increase in prices. In this phase, even if the monetary authorities shrink the money supply, prices still can rise, because the people's demand to hold money is falling too fast. Again, the people's belief that prices will continue to rise becomes self-fulfilling. Price increases in phase two come faster and faster, as more and more people accelerate their spending to thwart the falling purchasing power of their money. Phase two morphs into phase three, when people lose all confidence in the future purchasing power of their money and demand to hold money goes to zero. In this final phase the monetary authorities are unsuccessful in stopping the loss of monetary confidence even if they take drastic action to curb monetary inflation. People wish to exchange their money for any vendible commodity. The panic feeds on itself. This is what Mises calls the "crackup boom", because there is a flurry of buying as everyone tries to exchange his money for whatever he can. Not only do our monetary masters fail to understand the real danger of monetary destruction that they have unleashed with their zero interest rate and quantitative easing policies, they do not understand the true nature of money as part and parcel of the market. For example, they fail to understand that money is not neutral. Its expansion does not fall upon the economy equally, perhaps raising the price level but not disturbing its underlying structure. In his eighteenth century book, An Essay on Economic Theory, Richard Cantillon first observed that money enters the economy in certain places, enriching the early receivers of new money at the expense of later receivers. Money expansion transfers wealth within society, benefiting the politically connected and harming the true engines of progress, the savers. This is the Cantillon Effect of the non-neutrality of money. In his first great book, The Theory of Money and Credit, Ludwig von Mises went even further and corrected a major deficiency of the classical economists by integrating money into general economic theory that governs all economic processes. For example, money is just as much subject to the law of diminishing marginal utility as all other goods and services. Our monetary masters admit as much when they muse that more recent quantitative easing measures have had less effect on their favored monetary metrics than earlier ones. What they do not understand is that the economy was not helped by increases in money. Quite the contrary. At the conclusion of The Theory of Money and Credit, Mises introduced another great contribution to economic theory: that bank credit expansion is the source of the boom/bust business cycle. Money and GDP aggregates fail to identify the capital destruction set in motion by monetary interventions. GDP may indeed increase but only due only to the Keynesian fascination with monetary aggregates. The capital structure of production is set in disequilibrium, sending too much capital to the earlier, long term stages of production which eventually cannot be completed due to the fact that there never were enough resources in the economy for their profitable completion. Mises termed such misallocation "malinvestment". No one can predict when people will begin to lose confidence in the purchasing power of the dollar. Each new dollar that the Fed creates is like one more strand of straw laid on a mountain of straw. The real question is "Is this next strand of straw going to be the one that breaks the camel's back?" I love the strand of straw image.

Pip Coburn became famous for writing some of the liveliest reports on Wall Street. He quoted everyone from Machiavelli to HAL, Anaïs Nin to Yoda, Einstein to Gandhi. But along with the quirky writing, he consistently delivered sharp insights into technology trends and helped investors pick stocks with long-term potential. After years of studying countless winners and losers, Coburn has come up with a simple idea that explains why some technologies become huge hits (iPods, DVD players, Netflix), but others never reach more than a tiny audience (Segways, video phones, tablet PCs). He says that people are only willing to change when the pain of their current situation outweighs the perceived pain of trying something new. In other words, technology demands a change in habits, and that's the leading cause of failure for countless cool inventions. Too many tech companies believe in "build it and they will come" - build something better and people will beat a path to your door. But, as Coburn shows, most potential users are afraid of new technologies, and they need a really great reason to change. The Change Function is an irreverent look at how this pattern plays out in countless sectors, from computers to cell phones to digital TV recorders. It will be an invaluable book for people who create and invest in new technologies.
