When Kevin Griffin decided to go for a run down Franklin Road four years ago, he didn’t know he was setting out on a Pilgrimage. But as he looked at beautiful Harlinsdale Farm in his adopted hometown of Franklin, Tenn., the longtime Better Than Ezra frontman envisioned his next journey: a music festival.
Fast forward to 2017, where Griffin and co-producers Brandt Wood and Michael Whelan are a week away from the third annual Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival, set for Sept. 23 and 24 at Harlinsdale Farm. Next week’s forecast is sunny—for both the weather and the experience.
The event has grown tremendously since it debuted in 2015, and now operates as a full-time enterprise with an office in Franklin. Griffin says it has “exceeded our wildest dreams.” Daily attendance doubled from the first to second years, and is growing again this year, when about 30,000 fans will be grooving to the sounds of Justin Timberlake, Eddie Vedder, Ryan Adams, Fitz and The Tantrums, The Avett Brothers and more. Griffin says the property can easily handle attendance of 60,000.
He attributes excellent word-of-mouth to the growing numbers, noting that the musical line-up for the first year was arguably stronger than the second year, and attendance doubled anyway. That is because so much attention is given to the ease of getting in and out of the festival grounds, convenience of purchasing food and drinks, creating a cool artisan marketplace and unique vibe.
Whelan says, “The guest experience is very important to us, as well as the overall brand and what it represents to the community. We are proud of that and it’s something we work very hard at. It’s not just about the music. It’s about the experience for everybody, from the time they decide to come to Pilgrimage to the time they leave. We spend a lot of time curating the line-up and have a healthy debate internally about the music and food programming and everything that goes with the brand. Our goal long-term is that the festival always have a boutique feel to it.”
Griffin agrees, “We want people this year to have as good of a time as the first two years. With this festival, we’ve wanted to walk before we run, and grow at a pace that we can handle.”
This year the grounds will include a new Americana Music Triangle Experience, featuring musical storytelling and décor curated by American Pickers. Also new is the Farm to Turntable area, offering food trucks in a horse paddock. “With the larger crowd this year, we wanted to expand the footprint because there is so much space out there,” says Griffin.
After that healthy debate about the musical line-up, Pilgrimage organizers turn their wish list of performers over to longtime talent booker Jay Sweet.
This year the festival has its biggest artist to-date—Timberlake, a Franklin-area resident who is co-producing the event as well as headlining on Saturday night.
“Justin’s been a great partner since he signed on over a year ago,” continues Whelan. “Obviously with him performing this year he’s very engaged with what Pilgrimage looks like, the line up, what his set will look like. The exposure he’s brought (has been amazing) and his involvement is not just about this year, it’s about the growth of Pilgrimage moving forward. He’s a global superstar who appeals to high school kids, grandparents and everybody in between.”
By design, Pilgrimage attracts all ages. Griffin says, “It’s the kind of festival the Nashville area was missing—a multi-genre festival that represents all the great music and food from the area, merchants and artisans. A Middle Tennessee cultural experience for the whole family.”

Members of Strathbogie Council’s YMCA Youth Parliament team. Clockwise from top left, Jeremy Brown, Zachary St-Pierre, Malachi Wild, Julia Vidler, Brandon McCall and Ashleigh Butcher.
By Xenia Sanut
A team of young people from Strathbogie Council are calling for the Victorian Government to introduce life education classes into the state’s curriculum as part of the YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament.
Ashleigh Butcher (20), Jeremy Brown (17), Brandon McCall (17), Zachary St-Pierre (17), Julia Vidler (17) and Malachi Wild (19) are calling for mandatory classes that teach students budgeting, mental health and first aid to prepare them for life beyond high school.
Mr St-Pierre believes the current school curriculum does not provide students with the skills and knowledge they need for adulthood.
“A lot of people see adult life as a challenge,” Mr St-Pierre said.
“If we add [these classes to the Victorian curriculum], maybe adulthood will be less hard, even something good and that you can achieve.”
The team is part of Strathbogie Council’s EVOLVE Youth Committee, and they are proposing the classes for year 7 to 10 students.
Each year level will be taught different content over the course of the school year, with mental health and first aid taught in year 7, budgeting and finance in year 8, housing and vehicle maintenance in year 9 and professional practices — such as LinkedIn profiles — in year 10.
The lessons would be overseen by an advisory board who would audit the curriculum and ensure the content is up-to-date.
Mr St-Pierre said deciding which lessons should be prioritised and when they will be taught has been challenging for the team.
“The curriculum is already something very solid and that is very hard to change,” he said.
“Age groups need to know different things and you can’t fit everything into one year […] it depends on what is more important at that time”.
Their Bill also proposes that the lessons’ resources be made available online and at local libraries for the public to use.
Mr St-Pierre believes the YMCA Youth Parliament program plays an important role in allowing young people to be heard at the highest levels of State Government.
“A little action can make a worldwide change or at least a state change,” he said.
“If we implement a law like this, other states may go, ‘That’s a good idea. Let’s do it.’, and it would dramatically upgrade the quality of living for young adults”.
The team’s Bill will be presented to the Minister for Youth, Ros Spence MP, in a virtual closing ceremony at the end of September.

The spa of Banja Koviljača is situated in the western part of Serbia on the right bank of the river Drina. In this area, you can encounter the highland region of Jadar, slightly uneven Pocerina and fertile land of Mačva. Natural attractions that geographically determine Banja Koviljača are: Gučevo Mountain, the river Drina, fertile lowland of Lozničko polje and sulphuric waters of Banja Koviljača.
The place with ideal life conditions has been inhabited since the earliest epoch of civilization until today. The first written record of Koviljača was made in 1533, where it was listed a settlement in the region Bohorina, the name still exists today, but slightly changed, depending on the region. In the area covered in swumps, situated around the spring of sulphuric water, there arouse the spa, where even wealthy Turks with their families were coming on a holiday. Later, the first women’s hamam (Turkish bathroom) was built in the same place. Originally, the spa of Banja was first called Smrdan Bara, then Smrdan Banja, and finally, it was named after village Koviljača, or it got its name “ Banja Koviljača“ after beautiful plants. Such Banja was mentioned in Vuk Karadzić’s writings of the year 1827, and renovation of derelict Banja started in the half of 19th century. In 1855, state chemist Ilić did the first chemical analysis, and especially important for Banja is the year 1898, when according to the Act of the National Assembly, Banja was assigned to the people of Podrinje Region for 50 years. Since then, the place started developing comparing present-day tourism development. In 1907, the main sulphur bathroom was built, together with two bigger swimming pools for group therapies, and 40 tubs for individual baths. In the year 1910, the construction of railway Šabac – Banja Koviljača began. There followed the building of Banja’s villas: Koviljača, Dalmatia, Herzegovina, hotel Belgrade, and in area of 40 hectares, one of the most beautiful parks of Serbia was set up. The highest achievement in an array of architectural works happened in 1932, when luxurious Banja’s hall “Kur-salon” was opened, and even today, it is seen as the symbol of the Serbian hospitality. The upcoming war prevented Banja Koviljaca from further rapid development, but in the post-war period, Banja started modernizing its tourist and treatment offers. Today, Banja Koviljača is a modern touristic place with a wide variety of accommodation types: hotels, recreation centers, boarding houses, craft shops, and the guests can choose among various restaurants, taverns, pizza cafes, and coffee bars. Recently, the offer includes The Specialized Hospital for Rehabilitation and Royal Spa Hotel as well.

Flu Activity Now Widespread In Mass.; H1N1 Dominant Strain
December 29, 2013
BOSTON (CBS/AP) –Flu season appears to be in full swing in Massachusetts, with health officials reporting cases statewide.
Health care providers are seeing an uptick in the H1N1 strain that was prevalent in 2009. H1N1 or “Swine Flu” typically causes more illness in children and young adults, compared to older adults, although severe illness is possible in all age groups.
The Center for Disease Control says hardest hit areas include Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
Flu is usually the worst in January or February, although last year the illness hit the U.S. very hard in early December.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, last year’s flu season landed about 381,000 people in the hospital nationwide. That’s the most since at least 2005.
A contributing factor: The flu vaccine was only 51 percent effective overall.
The CDC released an alert on the H1N1 strain last week.

El Gouna set to be the first carbon-neutral city in Africa
by Tim Willmott : Be the first to leave a comment
Egyptian Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs Signs Agreement with Italy to Transform El Gouna into a Carbon-neutral City
The Red Sea city of El Gouna signed an agreement between the Egyptian Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs, the Italian Ministry of Environment and El-Gouna City in order to help it implement an integrated plan to become a carbon-neutral city. This will make El Gouna the first city of its kind in Egypt and Africa, and one of the leading carbon-neutral cities in the world.
The Minister of State for Environmental Affairs, Iskandar, confirmed that “this agreement will help the Egyptian government to achieve a significant breakthrough in the fields of environment and tourism, enhancing Egypt’s global image and opening the door for Egyptian tourism projects and cities to rank among the leading carbon-neutral entities.”
El Gouna is well positioned to be at the forefront of implementing this strategy as it has the requirements to make it the first carbon neutral city in the world. Egyptian Minister of Tourism, Mr. Zaazou, stressed that “El Gouna would be ready to obtain that title soon, and we will be working on implementing this project in other Egyptian cities.”

Opening day for angling in Yellowstone National Park is traditionally the Saturday before Memorial Day (this year, it falls on May 23), and that’s not changing in the face of the coronavirus outbreak.
But, according to Linda Veress of the park’s public affairs office, only rivers and streams in the park’s southern half will be open to angling to start the season off. That’s because park entrances situated in Montana (the west entrance at West Yellowstone, the north entrance at Gardiner, and the northeast entrance at Cooke City) remain closed, and Montana is maintaining restrictions on out-of-state travel.
So what does that leave for anglers? Well, opportunities exist, but they’ll be a bit limited.
Any river or stream that can be accessed by entering the park through either the east gate outside of Cody, Wyo., or the south entrance just north of Grand Teton National Park will be open to fishing starting May 23, with a few notable exceptions. Any tributary that flows into Yellowstone Lake is closed until July 15 to protect spawning Yellowstone Cutthroat trout. The Yellowstone River, both above and below Yellowstone Lake, is also closed until July 15. For detailed information on what waters will be open and when, as well as what kind of fishing gear is allowed, consult the park’s fishing regulations.
This means that the upper reaches of the Snake River are open to angling, and that the Lewis River (as well as Lewis Lake and Shoshone Lake) is open, too. It’s important to note that, early in the year, both of these rivers carry a lot of runoff and may not be fishable. That still leaves anglers with a few good choices, though. The Firehole and Gibbon rivers will both be open to angling, as will the Little Firehole River and other tributaries. Both the Gibbon and the Firehole can run high early in the season, but, generally speaking, both can be fishable — and fishing for brown trout and rainbow trout in both rivers can be good.
However, because the west entrance is closed, the Madison River will be closed to fishing when opening day rolls around — the National Park Service and the state of Montana have yet to announced when travel into the park will be reestablished, and Veress notes that anglers will not be allowed to park on roads where Yellowstone is open and walk into areas where the park is closed. Other notable rivers closed to fishing until a yet-to-be-announced date include the Gardner River, the Lamar River and the Yellowstone River and its tributaries below Canyon.
Under guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, the park is opening to visitors in phases, starting May 18. Remember, though, that access is only allowed through the south and east entrances, and that angling isn’t allowed until May 23. Also, Veress notes, anglers will need to buy their Yellowstone National Park fishing licenses outside the park because license vendors in the park won’t be open until a later phase in the reopening process.

Award success for the College of Medical and Dental Sciences at the University of Birmingham's Chancellor's Dinner
The College of Medical and Dental Sciences is delighted to announce that at the University of Birmingham Founders’ Awards for Excellence 2017 colleagues from across the College were awarded three of the evening’s four awards.
The Founders’ Awards, which were held on Thursday 13 July during the Chancellor's Dinner, are named after some of Birmingham’s most influential benefactors and demonstrate that their vision of ground-breaking research with local, national and global impact is as alive today as it was when the University was founded in 1900.
The awards recognise the very best academic work that has significantly contributed to the advancement of the University’s reputation. Nominations were received from each of the University’s College Boards and were reviewed by a panel of judges consisting of senior members of University management and colleagues external to the institution.
The Joseph Chamberlain Award for Academic Advancement
Named after the man who was the driving force behind the establishment of the University and was its first Chancellor, this was awarded to Professor Jo Morris and Professor Grant Stewart of the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences.
The award, which recognises academic activity that has significantly advanced the discourse or understanding within a specific academic area, was presented to Professors Morris and Stewart for their contribution to the understanding of the cellular response to DNA damage.
The Charles Beale Award for Policy Advancement
This award, which remembers the man who was a close political ally of Joseph Chamberlain and the University’s first Vice-Chancellor, was presented to Professor Arri Coomarasamy and Dr David Lissauer of the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research.
The award recognises academic activity that has significantly advanced the discourse or understanding within a specific academic or policy area. Professor Coomarasamy and Dr Lissauer are leading research into maternal mortality reduction, a Sustainable Development Goal identified by the United Nations.
The Aston Webb Award for Outstanding Early-Career Academic
Named after the industrialist and philanthropist, and the founder of Mason Science College that preceded the University, this was awarded to Dr Derek Kyte from the Institute of Applied Health Research.
This award identifies the work of an outstanding early-career academic whose research has international significance. Dr Kyte has been recognised for his ground-breaking work into the use of patient-reported outcomes in clinical trials.
‘It was a great night for our College,’ said Professor David Adams, Pro Vice Chancellor, Head of the College of Medical and Dental Sciences and Dean of Medicine.
‘To receive both of the top student prizes and then three of the four Founders’ Awards was remarkable. The Founders’ Awards winners highlight the incredible breadth of what we do in the College.
‘Our colleagues collected awards for a range of specialties, from work on patient reported outcomes to outstanding laboratory work into the mechanisms of cancer development and clinical trials work in Africa that is changing guidelines on management of pregnancy from the World Health Organisation (WHO).’
‘It was a real privilege to be at the Chancellor’s Dinner and to witness the outstanding success of the College,’ added Professor Paul Moss, Director of Research and Knowledge Transfer at the College of Medical and Dental Sciences.
‘I can't remember seeing a single College achieve so much at previous events, but when you saw the quality of our nominees it really was no surprise. I'm sure everyone in the College will congratulate our winners and also feel some associated pride in the exceptional environment that we have created together.’
The fourth award, the Josiah Mason Award for Business Advancement, was awarded to Professor Kai Bongs from the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences for his leadership of the Birmingham Quantum Technology Hub, established three years ago with investment from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and industry.
Two 2017 Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) graduates, Laura Davies and Hannah Cooke, won the Chancellor’s Prize 2017 and Vice-Chancellor’s Prize 2017 respectively while Dr Shayan Ahmed won the Outstanding Teaching Award for the College.
Congratulations also go to the College’s Professor Ed Rainger, who was shortlisted for the Josiah Mason Award for Business Advancement, and Dr Ricky Bhogal, who was shortlisted for the Aston Webb Award for Outstanding Early-Career Academic.

The first step before application is to select nails that fit each of your fingers of one hand. Then, lay the nails out so that they are ready for application. Using pink gel glue, begin with your pinky finger. Utilize the tab to have control of the acrylic nail without actually holding the nail and getting glue all over your finger. The tab comes off when pushed down and then twisted off. Make sure not to put any glue on the tip of the nail. Apply glue to the acrylic as well as your natural nail. Then apply the acrylic nail to the natural nail. Repeat this for all fingers. To add shine, use Kiss Shining Armor strengthening top coat. To learn how to correctly apply this acrylic nail set, follow the steps in this instructional video.

Every year, many women with ovarian cancer are misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, stress, reflux or a urinary tract infection, because of similarities in symptoms.  If you are showing symptoms of ovarian cancer, the most important thing for you to remember is to stay calm.
Just because you may have some symptoms of ovarian cancer does not necessarily mean you have the disease. According to the American Cancer Society, a woman’s chance of developing invasive ovarian cancer during her lifetime is approximately 1 in 73.
Here are the eight most common warning signs of ovarian cancer you should watch out for.
Feeling tired most of the time is not normal.
Having no or low energy is a sign of something being wrong with your body and it should be checked out by your physician.
2. Pelvic Pain
A woman could feel pain or discomfort in the pelvic region and sometimes in the abdomen. If the pain is persistent, it should not be ignored or covered up through the use of painkillers. Pain in the pelvic region is something which should be addressed.
3. Constipation and Other Bowel Changes
Ovarian cancer and bowel changes go hand in hand. Women who have persistent digestive issues which include constipation, diarrhea, increased gas, bloating, nausea and vomiting, should see a doctor as soon as possible.
4. Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain which radiates to the pelvic region, accompanied by pelvic heaviness should be taken seriously and a medical examination is necessary.
5. Appetite Loss and Feeling “Full” More Quickly When you Eat
A decreased appetite and unexplained weight loss could be indicative of ovarian cancer, so a woman needs to seek medical attention to uncover the cause.

The Miami Dolphins are still waiting for a second opinion on Ryan Tannehills’s knee after his injury on Thursday. It’s still unknown if Tannehill’s season will be delayed or over.
There is no reason to assume that Tannehill will or will not be back. Conflicting media reports that have ranged from no structural damage to potentially season ending surgery has everyone speculating on what this season will hold and of course who will the Dolphins bring in to replace Matt Moore who will, for at least awhile, take over the starting job.
Then there is 2018.
The Dolphins will have a big decision to make and it will not be an easy one. It gets incredibly harder if Tannehill misses the 2017 season. In 2018 Ryan Tannehill will account for $19.8 million in salary cap space. If he were to be released or traded the Dolphins would eat $4.5 million saving just over $15 million in cap space.
It’s hard to imagine this playing out but consider there are always concerns about a players injury history and if Tannehill undergoes surgery that becomes a question mark. In reality though, let us assume that Tannehill will be back next year on the same deal he is currently playing under. We should also assume that he misses this entire season and has surgery to repair his knee. The next step in Tannehill’s future is can he stay healthy on that knee. Will it become more structurally stable?
If a relapse of any kind hits in 2018 Tannehill will be a bigger question mark in 2019 when his camp hit’s $21 million but only $2 million would be dead money. In addition the Dolphins would likely start looking to restructure his deal at some point next year or in 2019 but that knee issue could be problematic.
What is certain is that no matter what happens with Tannehill this year, the Dolphins need to start planning for the future and that means they need to get another quarterback. Preferably in the 2018 NFL Draft. Not necessarily a first round quarterback but a solid prospect that Adam Gase could groom to become the starter and who is capable of stepping in if needed.
None of this is obviously ideal. Tannehill has grown considerably since his first few years and many expected him to breakout in 2017. That will no longer be the case regardless of what the Dolphins find out regarding his knee. Tannehill is going to be susceptible to more hyper-extensions in the near future and will miss time at minimum to strengthen the knee.
Is it too early to talk about Ryan Tannehill’s future beyond the 2017 season? For fans yes but the front office should be at least thinking about a plan for the future. Probably sooner rather than later.

The episode of “True Life: I have diabetes” is about three young people Kristyn, Matt, and Jen who all have chronic diabetes. In order for them to stay alive they must track their blood sugar all day everyday. Kristyn, a 25 year old that is forced to move back home with her parents because of healthcare for diabetes becomes costly. She no longer qualified for her parents health insurance and eventually ended up losing it which put her is financial debt because of her costly healthcare. She has been copping with type I diabetes for the past fifteen years. Due her not being able to afford healthcare she is unable to purchase a new insulin pump. Matt, a college student with type I diabetes is a party animal who refuses to let his medical condition diabetes stop his partying. He’s trying to find a balance between life with diabetes and college/party life. Then you have Jen, 19 who is pregnant and having trouble controlling her diabetes symptoms while she is pregnant. She was diagnosed with type II diabetes but it eventually was categorized as type I diabetes at the end.
As stated in lecture illness narratives are a way for a person affected by an illness to make sense of his/her experiences. In this episode of True Life the type of narrative that is being used for these young adults in my opinion is quest because although they all have chronic diabetes and they all suffer socially, they have a positive outlook on life. They all still see that they have a long life ahead of them.
As far as experiences with medical professionals all three of them visited the doctors quite regularly. Due to their condition they have to be constantly in contact with medical professionals in order to keep their condition in balance. For the sick role, rights and responsibilities I’m pretty sure that all three of them are aware of their health condition. They know that their health is abnormal and they need health professions in order to live a healthy lifestyle. With that being said they need to find some type of balance tin order to live a normal healthy lifestyle. Diabetes is very common amongst our culture, it is a condition that many people are somewhat aware of although they might not know a lot about it. There is no negative stigma for people that have diabetes
The usefulness of illness narratives to patients/family/healthcare providers is important because based on this weeks lecture they are used in order to help patients reveal their social expectations and stigmas that often go along with a disease.

The concept of reparations has been a huge talking point for the Democrat Party going into the 2020 Election. Many African-Americans seem to be on board with the ides and want the candidates in the upcoming presidential election to make a firm stance on what they think of the concept.
Bernie Sanders joined The Breakfast Club to talk about just that topic. He was pressed to answer whether or not he liked the idea and if he could get specific as to how it would be addressed.
He turned down the notion that a cash payout to every African-American in the United States is a viable plan.
Bernie Sanders is actually making sense on an issue!?
Sanders knows much like a lot of people that this becomes a slippery slope argument. How much does each person get? How long do they get said money? Is it different and determined case by case? If an individual pays taxes and gets money back at the end of that season now a separate check goes out simply for reparations every year? Sorry not only is it not viable but now you are asking the Government to pay for something unwillingly.
Good luck to you! White guilt has become a powerful tool in the Democrat Party and they want to perpetuate it all across the country! Not going to work Democrats!

Lacking mindful thinking people commonly buy them completely wrong, definitely mainly because your minds usage a couple of systems that are different procedure ideas (notice unique Scientist, 30 August 2008, p 34).
Single is actually spontaneous and intuitive; one other looks deliberative to reasoned. Intuitive processing might provide people perfectly in certain areas: selecting the best potential romantic partner, like, otherwise as part of circumstances for which you’ve hthe bestve lots of suffer from. It may trip people upward at many, however, particularly as soon as we overvalue our very own perspective that is egocentric. Deliberative processing, having said that, is vital to aware problem-solving and that can services people bypass your intuitive tendencies should they appear to be finest united states astray.
The difficulty at IQ tests is the fact that they are unable to assess our inclination to use them when the situation demands while they are effective at assessing our deliberative skills, which involve reason and the use of working memory.
This is certainly a important distinction: while Daniel Kahneman at Princeton University places your it, cleverness is approximately brain power wherewhen logical thinking is focused on get a grip on. “many people who will be intellectually in a position usually do not bother inside interact quite definsideitely in analytical convinced and are usually likely towards depend on their intuitions, ” describes Evans. “Some other individuals will always check their gut feeling out as well as justification that it with and work out convinced they’ve a reason for just what they may be starting. ” Your IQ test are unable to anticipate and among these paths anyone does adhere, thus your George W. Bush incongruity of people that tend to be supposedly wise acting foolishly.
The theory it Bush is merely an silly person that is smart many, which cleverness looks an unhealthy predictor to “close thinking”, originonetes off a group of latest experiments in which reviewed each shows of individuperls of a array of intellectual abilities regarding rational-thinking work. Inside a research posted this past year, Stanovich plus Richard western to James Madison college as part of Harrisonburg, Virginia, receive there was clearly little correlation in between cleverness to an individual’s power to prevent some typically common traps out of intuitive-thinking (log out of individuality then personal therapy, vol 94, p 672).
At certain kinds of convinced work, like those involving range ratios, probabilities, deductive thinking plus the utilization of hindsight, smart everyone do play much healthier, Stanovich yet others are finding. This really is really real whenever any other intuitive pitfalls are unmistakeable, particularly when an answer that is correct to logic or perhaps abstract reasoning – abilities it IQ tests determine so. But the majority scientists agree totally that, over all, that correlation around cleverness to effective decision-making are fragile. Their exclusion occurs when folks are warned which they may be the bestt risk of a bias that is thinking in what instance individuals with higher IQs have a tendency to do better. Your, states Evans, is simply because even though wise many people cannot continually justification over the others, “once they do cause, that they justification much healthier”.
For instance, look at the following issue. Jack are searching in Anne, plus Anne looks hunting in George; Jack port looks hitched, George just isn’t. Is really a hitched one considering your person that is unmarried? Provided expected to decide on in between absolutely, little, otherwise https://datingmentor.org/romanian-dating/ can’t be determined, almost all someone try using that the option that is third wrongly. A married person would be looking at an unmarried one) if told to reason through all the options, though, those of high IQ are more likely to arrive at the right answer (which is “yes”: we don’t know Anne’s marital status, but either way. What this signifies, claims Stanovich, is the fact that “intelligent individuals play much healthier only if a person inform them how to proceed”.
Perkins describes it the following: “IQ suggests a higher convenience of involved cognition to hassles a new comer to your. Exactly what people use your capacity to are different matter. Think about your minds because searchlights. IQ steps that the brightness associated with searchlight, still whenever it is pointed by us in addition issues. Some individuals do not aim his or her searchlights during the more negative for the instance far, for a lot of grounds: entrenched a few ideas, avoidance to things may be unsettling, easy haste. A greater wattage searchlight by itself isn’t any cover towards that follies. ” Certainly, this indicates perhaps the super-intelligent aren’t resistant. A study out of subscribers concerning Mensa (that higher IQ culture) as part of Canada when you look at the mid-1980s discovered that 44 per cent out of them thought inside astrology, 51 percent thought at biorhythms to 56 percent thought at aliens Inquirer that is(Skeptical thirteen, p 216). Think about the minds while searchlights. IQ steps that brightness associated with the searchlight, however wherein people aim this furthermore things.

Toronto, Oct 4 (IANS): XY chromosomes may be the reason that globally males were more likely than females to be hospitalised or admitted to the ICU or to die from Covid-19 despite having similar infection rates, finds a study.
The pre-clinical research, published in the journal iScience, has yet to be replicated in humans, but points to the ACE2 protein as a key contributor to differences in Covid-19 outcomes between males and females.
"Covid-19 severity and mortality are much higher in males than in females, but the reasons for this remain poorly understood," said Haibo Zhang, a staff scientist at St. Michael's Hospital, and a Professor of anesthesiology and pain medicine, and physiology at the University of Toronto.
Located on the cell's outer surface, ACE2 plays an important role in controlling blood pressure and inflammation and protecting organs from damage caused by excess inflammation.
During a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the coronavirus spike protein locks on to ACE2 to enter the cell. The gene encoding the ACE2 protein is located on the X chromosome, which means that females have two copies of the gene and males only have one.
In times of health, the extra copy of the gene for ACE2 doesn't appear to make a difference - Zhang and his team found similar levels of ACE2 protein in healthy males and females.
Following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, they observed a dramatic decrease in ACE2 in males while levels remained consistent in females, suggesting that the additional copy of the ACE2 gene on the X chromosome is helping to compensate and maintain high protein levels in females, the study showed.
The changes in ACE2 levels were also correlated with a drop in oestrogen hormone signalling in males, which could also contribute to the sex-specific differences in Covid-19 outcomes.
To test whether low levels of ACE2 were responsible for the more severe outcomes seen in males with Covid, the researchers devised a therapeutic approach using an inhaler to deliver lab-made ACE2 proteins directly into the lungs.
Males who received a daily puff of ACE2 after SARS-CoV-2 infection had less virus in their lungs, less lung injury and higher levels of oestrogen signalling.
Together, these results paint a clearer picture of how the extra copy of the ACE2 gene and higher oestrogen levels in females work together to protect them from experiencing more severe Covid, the team said.
"A common misconception is that an increased presence of ACE2 receptors would result in a higher infection rate," Zhang said.
"However, the enhanced activation of ACE2 in females actually serves as a compensatory mechanism during infection that's aimed at safeguarding the lungs and other vital organs from potential damage."
In males who lack the second copy of the gene, much of the existing ACE2 gets co-opted by SARS-CoV-2 during an infection.
As a result, there is not enough of the protein to fulfil its usual functions of tamping down inflammation and preventing organ damage. The extra dose of ACE2 delivered by inhaler serves as a decoy to glom onto the coronavirus, thereby preventing it from entering cells while also keeping the native ACE2 proteins free to exert protective effects.

Diffusion-Weighted MRI Accurate in Detecting Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis of the Knee
Non-invasive, non-contrast method shows potential benefits for pediatric patients
Assessing arthritis in the knee can be difficult in adults using traditional MRI methods. In children — who may not be able to stay still or may even need to be sedated during the procedure — the process can be even more difficult.
A recent study published in Radiology, “Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Diffusion-weighted MRI in the Assessment of Arthritis in the Knee,” by lead author Anouk Barendregt, MD, in the Department of Pediatric Immunology and Radiology at the Amsterdam University Medical Center, and colleagues, shows MRI technology may make the process of assessing arthritis easier for pediatric patients without sacrificing accuracy.
“We have been interested in novel methods to assess arthritis without injection of contrast agent for a long time,” Dr. Barendregt said. “This technique is much more patient-friendly, especially for children.”
Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is commonly used in areas such as stroke and prostate but has not been widely tested in the diagnosis and analysis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. DWI has a number of benefits for pediatric patients, Dr. Barendregt said. It is non-invasive and there is no need to place an IV and administer contrast. The technique is also faster, so children don’t need to stay still as long, reducing the number of young patients that need sedation for a lengthy MRI scan.
Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis often have autoimmune-mediated inflammation of the synovial membrane. The team studied the diagnostic accuracy of DWI for the detection of arthritis as compared with the clinical reference standard, which included contrast material–enhanced MRI.
The research team conducted a prospective study of 45 patients ages 6 to 18 who underwent pre- and post-contrast MRI of the knee with an additional DWI sequence between 2015 and 2018. For the clinical reference standard, a multidisciplinary team determined the presence or absence of arthritis on the basis of clinical, laboratory and imaging findings, excluding DWI. The two data sets were then scored by two radiologists blinded to all clinical data.
DWI Shows High Accuracy
The study found that DWI was accurate in detecting arthritis in pediatric patients, both in sensitivity and specificity. The results showed sensitivity for detection of arthritis with DWI was 93% (13 of the 14 participants with arthritis were correctly classified). DWI also scored above 80% on specificity for patients without arthritis. The results indicate that DWI could replace contrast-enhanced MRI for imaging of inflammation.
“What we found in our study quite surprised us — it was better than we expected,” said study co-author Robert Hemke, MD, PhD, musculoskeletal radiologist at Amsterdam University Medical Center, who said the team has been researching DWI in arthritis patients for about five years. “During this time, we had regarded contrast-enhanced MRI as the reference standard.”
The Radiology study, which began as a small research project several years ago, was aided significantly by the participation of pediatric rheumatologists and other researchers.
“Working as a team really benefited our research,” Dr. Hemke said. “I’ve learned how important it is to keep your eyes open to other fields of imaging outside of the musculoskeletal domain.” With further and larger validation studies, DWI may be valuable for both adult and pediatric arthritis patients, researchers said.

| Male nurses at work at Apollo Gleneagles. Picture by Bishwarup Dutta
In the Emmy award winning American sitcom Scrubs, one of the main characters, Doctor Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), dates a nurse called Paul Flowers. Yes, you heard that right. Paul is often at the receiving end of jokes aimed at his profession. Two male doctors called him a “murse” and accused of him of doing “women’s work”. Elliot, too, is mortified when she belatedly learns that Paul is a nurse and not a physician.
Hollywood acknowledged the problem with Meet the Parents, where Ben Stiller is a male nurse meeting the girl’s parents for the first time. His case is complicated more because the character’s name is Gaylord Focker.
But closer home such gender stereotypes do not seem to hold. Quite the opposite. In Calcutta, the profession has become a ticket to that precious “foreign job”, especially in the US and the UK, and thus a sought-after-career. For women — and for men.
Hospitals in Calcutta are recruiting male nurses in significant numbers. Says the nursing superintendent of Apollo Gleneagles, Lakshmi Bhattacharya: “There are about 20 male nurses in this hospital. In the last year we’ve been flooded with applications from young male nurses.” There are 380 nurses in the hospital.
Among a total of 500 nurses, AMRI has 49 male nurses. Sri Aurobindo Seva Kendra (popularly known as EDF hospital) had recruited about 15 male nurses in 2006, though a lot of them have left to prepare for entrance examinations for going abroad — IELTS for the UK and NCLEX for the US.
Most of the nurses, however, aren’t Calcuttan. “The only Bengali applicants we seem to get are ex-army nurses. None of the freshers are Bengali,” adds Bhattacharya.
The “freshers” or trainees are nearly always from the south, especially Kerala and Karnataka. Calcutta is a convenient stopover on their route to success, which lies in the West.
“Most of the nurses are from Kerala,” says the AMRI deputy medical superintendent, Suman Ghosh. Most are also very young — within the age group of 22- 27.
They see nothing unusual in their career choice. They are more puzzled by the reaction of people here. “I see nothing strange in a guy choosing this profession. It is a pretty common choice for boys my age, where I come from. A lot of my cousins are in the same line too. My interest in this profession grew after I saw them doing well,” says 22-year-old Ebin K. Ittiyavirah, a nurse in the general ward in West Bank Hospital in Howrah.
Echoes 23-year-old Sobin Joseph, a nurse at Apollo Gleneagles: “My neighbours in Calcutta were very surprised when they heard that I was a nurse. They said that they didn’t know of any nurses who were men.”
The main reason why the men are here is the scope for working abroad and raking in the moolah. “Once you have experience and can get work as a nurse abroad you can earn as much as Rs 1 lakh a month,” says Sobin. “It is also a noble profession,” is his afterthought.
Shyamjeet from West Bank Hospital, Howrah, who is in a critical unit in a private hospital, says: “I’ll work here for two more years and then try to go abroad.”
Many of these nurses are in the emergency ward — the assumption being men have “quicker reflexes” and “an ability to handle very stressful conditions”.
Ex-army nurse Sanjay Samajdar, who has been in the emergency ward of the West Bank Hospital for eight years, says: “The army generally takes male nurses and being in the army trains us better for an emergency situation.”
Large healthcare groups are making the best of the trend of Indian nurses going abroad. Apollo has a training programme called the “Global Nursing Programme”. Under this programme, the hospital prepares nurses for entrance exams abroad. Other hospitals have plans for similar programmes.
Thousands of Indian nurses are employed abroad. In the US, where the youth does not seem attracted to the profession any more, there are vacancies in thousands and Indians are filling up the posts in significant numbers.
According to an estimate, among the 11,477 foreign (non-EU) nurses working in the UK during 2004-2005, 3,690 were Indian.

Be careful where you travel
It was only a matter of time, but the first repeatable game breaking bug has been found in Fallout 4. We all knew this was coming.
The bug, which crashes to desktop on PC, is triggered as part of a settlement quest where players are sent to Monsignor Plaza. When trying to travel there as part of the quest, the game crashes. It’s unclear if the same bug effects console players.
You can read more about the bug on the Bethesda forums. The developer has not yet responded to complaints about the issue, so it’s unknown if a fix is coming.

Olana, home of 19th century landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church in Hudson, is hosting Artist on Art Tour, a series of guided tours through Olana under the tutelage of contemporary artists working in various disciplines. Artistic storytelling is a compelling part of Olana’s ongoing narrative. Participating artists offer a unique lens with which to “read” Olana, and experiment and invent with “poetic license” as they explore through their own artistic practice Church’s home and studio as well as this season’s exhibition.
This Friday, October 6 at 4:30 pm musician Carrie Bradley tours Olana, calling attention to the transitionary and the “in betweens,” with an element of live music inside Olana. Bradley combines text; music of which there is record that the Church family enjoyed by composers they hosted at Olana; and her own original songs to invoke specifically the evenings of music the Churches hosted at Olana and to refer in general to the sensual spirit of music and sound at the house. Bradley speculates that, “The house during those events became a place where the felt power of music resonated within a container for so much powerful visual art and artifact, and also was during those times, for a stolen moment, a public place when it was usually his private sanctuary. In a similar way, the songs seek to capture the interplay between the public and the private that I feel in the views from the upper reaches of the house—an intimate and personal seat from which to view the awe-inspiring reach of the river and the sky.”
Carrie Bradley is a fiction and creative nonfiction writer as well as a guitarist, violinist, and vocalist. She was a founding member of the alternative folk band Ed’s Redeeming Qualities, has played with the Breeders since 1989, has since had her own bands 100 Watt Smile and the Great Auk, and has performed and/or recorded with Tanya Donelly, Jonathan Richman, John Wesley Harding, Love & Rockets, the Red House Painters, the Buckets, and many others. She lives, gardens, cavorts, and mulls deep in the Catskill Mountains.
This program expands on the ideas found on site in Teresita Fernandez’s installation “OVERLOOK: Teresita Fernández Confronts Frederic Church at Olana” throughout Olana State Historic Site (May 13 – November 1). The Olana Partnership’s Director of Education, Amy Hufnagel, describes the public program this way: “Artists and cultural workers can teach us about Olana in ways we might not have even imagined; they are, in so many ways, logical “guides” to understanding and unpacking Olana to the contemporary era. The Olana Partnership wants to expand the narrative of Olana, and to express a multiplicity of stories here. Teresita Fernandez’s installation and the exhibition – paired with local artist tours – allows for a whole new set of conversations to emerge.” This innovative tour program privileges the voices of contemporary women artists and cultural workers whose own creative pursuits often find voice in the sphere of the “overlooked.” In specific, Olana’s team works to elevating the voices of these contemporary women artists with the end goal to expand and enlarge the interpretation at Olana.
Olana is the greatest masterpiece of Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), the preeminent American artist of the mid-19th century. Church had a sustained interest in the Americas, resulting from his trips to Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, and the Caribbean. In his own artwork depicting these landscapes and in the objects he collected throughout his life, Church’s passion for Latin America remains evident today. Church designed Olana as a holistic environment integrating his advanced ideas about art, architecture, landscape design, and environmental conservation. Olana’s 250-acre artist-designed landscape with a Persian-inspired house at its summit embraces unrivaled 360-degree views of the Hudson River Valley and beyond. Today Olana State Historic Site welcomes more than 170,000 visitors annually.
Launched in 2012, AMR Open Studios Tour has grown into a major art destination, forging new and unexpected connections between artists, and their patrons from near and far. Given its success in previous years, in 2017 AMR – Artists Making aRt ™ – Open Studios Tours 2017 expanded to include some 40 artists from Margaretville, Roxbury, Stamford, Delhi, and surrounding areas. The tours took place on two different weekends in July: Saturday and Sunday, July 8 – 9 in Stamford-Delhiart community, and Saturday and Sunday, July 29-30 in Margaretville-Roxburyart community. Both weekends attracted a myriad of visitors, many artists as well as collectors from the Catskills, New York City, and abroad.
On the first weekend, watercolorist June Lanigan who, at 91, continues to paint and make collages, showed recent works and discussed what moves her these days. Although Lanigan works in other media as well (i.e., oil, and acrylic), she is most fond of watercolors; and everywhere she goes she brings along a sketchbook to take in the environment. The portrait of a flapper draws my attention in Lanigan’s immense home that she shares with her family while painting in the Catskills. Lanigan is the founder of MURAL Gallery in Hobart, and has had a long connection with the area.
Both Lanigan’s daughters Tracy Jacknow and Toni Layden-Rodgers as well as her grandson Jess Zimmerman are painters; each has a distinctive style, and is attracted to different subject matters. Jacknow, for instance, paints abstract and impressionistic like landscapes, while Layden-Rodgers is interested in domestic scenes, still lifes, and portraits, whereas Zimmerman paints bold, urban scenes.
Jacknow is married to stained glass artist Barry Jacknow, whose work is inspired by the Art Deco movement, and the work of architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright. Stained glass has had a long tradition in New York going back to Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Art Nouveau lamps and decorative objects that became synonym with sophistication. Jacknow sources his stained glass locally in Stamford, and works meticulously to create patterns and contrast colors for most effect.
My next stop was at Robert Schneider and Susan Goetz’s mansion in Stamford. Husband and wife, Schneider and Goetz had studied at the Art Students League of New York, and also privately with accomplished painters. While Schneider specializes in landscape, Goetz dedicates most of her time to still life and portrait. Her studio is filled with family portraits and domestic scenes signifying opulence and good taste. Goetz was commissioned by West Point’s class of 1931 to paint a series of portraits which included Presidents Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush, and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Goetz comes from a family of artists – her father Richard Goetz, who passed away in 1991, was an accomplished painter as well. A portrait of her mother by famous painter Nelson Shanks illuminates the hallway.
Both Goetz and her husband Schneider were featured in American Artist in November 2007.
Schneider, who is very much fascinated by the Hudson River School of Painting, captures through his plein airs spectacular views of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley as well as the Leatherstocking region where the family has spent a lot of time. Schneider was featured at the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown in 2016 in a one man show called “A New York View.”
My last stop that weekend was at Solveig Comer’s ceramics studio in South Kortright. Located in the basement of a former church, the studio has three electric kilns, and lots of fine porcelain for many bowls and cups to come. The artist patiently explains the difference between using an electric kiln versus a gas one, and the differences in output each creates. It is a laborious process, but Comer doesn’t seem to mind.
The second weekend was a marathon of exhibits, demonstrations, conversations, and parties centered around Roxbury which had a stellar participation this year with the likes of Adam Cohen and Brian Tolle opening their studios as part of the AMR Tour for the first time.
Brian Tolle showed several of his works at Roxbury Abbey including three Levittown style houses made of platinum silicone rubber. Also, visible in his studio was a head sculpture of Benjamin Franklin, as seen by Brian Tolle. In 2016 Tolle exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia as part of “Commander in Chief” art show dedicated to American presidents.
In addition to works by Tolle, Roxbury Abbey also hosted that weekend a group show curated by Ace Ehrlich who brought several artists from the city just for the event, including German artist Thorsten Brinkmann.
The youngest participant in the tour was Sophia Maduri, who showed her work at the Grange in Halcottsville, and sold her first drawing right there – the beginning of a career. My book “How Art Is Made: In the Catskills” was also for sale at the Grange, and provided more context for some of the artworks shown during the tour, a symbiotic relationship.
Also in Roxbury painters Esther De Jong and Michael Guilmet opened their studio for the first time. De Jong showed some of her oil paintings and pencil drawings, while Guilmet displayed two dozen oil paintings in various styles, and depicting various subject matters – winter landscapes, abstract compositions, and lots of portraits, many of those on commission. Recently De Jong and Guilmet curated an exhibition at Orphic Gallery in Roxbury that included some of the best artworks produced in the region from painters like Adam Cohen, Ann Lee Fuller, and Christopher Durham.

Comment: I’ve been excited by LightSail 2 since before its launch. My interest in solar sails was sparked by Arther C. Clarke’s “The Sunjammer” when it appeared in Boys’ Life in 1964. The fact that LightSail 2 was the work of The Planetary Society done on the cheap with donations is just icing on the cake. For the last 30 months LightSail 2 has shown the world how to sail in space. NASA has learned a great deal in preparation for their future solar sail missions.
NEA Scout will be launched whenever the Artemis-1 Orion is launched to orbit the Moon. From near the Moon, NEA Scout will set sail towards a still to be determined near Earth asteroid. This uncertainty gives a “second star to the right and straight on ’til morning” air of adventure to the mission. This uncertainty is only tolerable because solar sails won’t run out of fuel. If NEA Scout ends up having to circle around to rendezvous with the asteroid, so be it. It might even take in more asteroids over its lifetime.
The Solar Cruiser will be the biggest sail yet, about a third the size of a football field. This craft should launch in 2025 or so and is destined to hover in an orbit staying on the Sun-Earth line just on the far side of the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point. A conventionally powered spacecraft would have to expend a lot of fuel to maintain that position. The Solar Cruiser can stay there indefinitely.
I finally found a simple description of how these solar sails are controlled on an episode of Planetary Radio where Les Johnson, NASA’s Principal Investigator for the NEA Scout and Solar Cruiser, explains how it’s done. Much like sailing a windsurfer, you change the center of effort of the sail in relation to the center of mass of the board. With a solar sail, you shift the mass of the craft in relation to the center of effort of the sail. One method is to physically adjust the location of the central part of the craft along the x and y axes. Another way, just developed by NASA, amounts to scandalizing a specific area of the sail with photovoltaic panels on the sail that can adjust the amount of light that is passed through without imparting momentum to that part of the sail. Japan came up with this concept for their pioneering IKAROS solar sail launched in 2010. Japan would not share the technology with NASA.
I think we’re going to see a lot more of these solar sails in space exploration, especially as we move towards more multi-year and multi-decade interstellar missions. It will be a new age of sail… and just as adventurous and exciting.

Natural concentrate of cow’s milk calcium, Casein Phosphopeptide, and Soya Isoflavones.
- Exclusively formulated using purely natural concentrate of cow’s milk calcium, it features a rich content of calcium and proteins and is universally recognized as being the best source of calcium. Besides, it can also be readily assimilated by the human body and is suitable even for people who suffer from lactose intolerance.
- Enhanced with vitamin D3 to elevate the absorption rate.
- The unique formula Soya Isoflavones are a special group of phyto-estrogen, or female sex hormones found in plants. They contain isoflavones, saponins, vitamins, lecithin, etc. that play a vital role in regulating our physiological functions and contribute to promoting metabolic activities.
- Another unique formula, Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP), has won the approval from the Health Ministry of Japan and subsequently listed as an ingredient for “specific health-care food supplements”. It exhibits the characteristics of preventing the precipitation of calcium in the intestinal system to help facilitate the assimilation of the essentially needed trace element.
Adults – 10-12 tablets per day.
Children – 6-9 tablets per day.
The reason for Jia Hor calcium to be in small amount, 80gm per tablet is to enable our body for easy absorption.
Our body absorb calcium at a slow pace.
Taking 800gm per tablet of synthetic calcium will result in up to 90% of the calcium being drained out of our body or worse “trapped” inside our body to form kidney stone. Other side effects of synthetic calcium include (but not limited to) constipation, belching and gas.
In order to maximize the assimilation rate of calcium, you should split the consumption into 3 times a day, before or after meal.
Ganoderma Coffee 3 in 1 Benefit
How Ganoderma Coffee 3 in 1 Benefit Our Health

It is capable of exciting the central nervous system in the brain, extending the hours of keeping alertness, enhancing mental sharpness, and increasing mental focus and concentration to elevate job performance and learning faculty.
2. It Protects cardiovascular functions
Coffee is known for its rich content of phenol compounds, which are powerful antioxidants capable of retarding the speed with which low density lipo proteins (LDL) is oxidized by up to three times, in addition to dissolving blood clots and discouraging the formation of thrombi.
3. The Effects of Antioxidant
Ganoderma Coffee 3 in 1 offers a rich blend of caffeine, caffeic acid, Yung Kien Ganoderma extract, and other antioxidant substances, which work wonders in combating the health threatening free radicals found in our body.
Excessively high level of free radicals will also adversely affect our body’s metabolism, destroy body cells, and wreak havoc to the various organs and tissues.
4. Maintain Body weight
Caffeine is capable of increasing the rate of the caloric expenditure in the human body. Research findings have shown that the consumption of 1 cup of Ganoderma Coffee 3 in 1 is good enough to speed up the breakdown of the fat content in the food, elevate the body’s metabolic rate by 3~4%, and increase caloric expenditure.
5. Promote Diuresis
Ganoderma Coffee is capable of promoting kidney and diuretic functions to increase the volume of urination and improve the condition of bloated stomach and dropsy or oedema.
6. Promote Digestion
As caffeine has the ability to excite the sympathetic nerve and encourage the secretion of gastric juice, having a cup or two of Ganoderma Coffee can help digestion and prevent gastroptosis. Ganoderma also contains important constituents that may help to treat high blood pressure, diabetes, infections and hepatitis.

New dye marker to beat fraud
A new red dye fuel marker is being introduced by the British and Irish governments to tackle fraud.
The illegal use of cheaper fuel in the UK means criminals avoid paying tax and can sell it on at a lower rate than normal fuel from a filling station.
The new marker will make it harder for criminals to disguise fuel by removing the red dye. Fuel that has the marker added is often called 'red diesel' and is only meant to be used by certain businesses, such as farmers.
Nicky Morgan, economic secretary to the Treasury, said: 'Using illicit fuel is not a victimless crime – it robs the government of tax revenue that is used to fund vital public services and puts those businesses that follow the rules at a commercial disadvantage. It also has a severe environmental impact, with considerable clean-up costs for local councils. So we are boosting HMRC's fight against this fraud by introducing a more robust marker to ensure it is far harder to remove.'

Employers with unions face very different and unique challenges not faced by non-union companies. Consider these 15 Tips in designing and implementing an effective return-to-work policy.
1. Determine what management rights you may already have to implement a return-to-work program.
2. Negotiate counterproductive clauses out of the collective bargaining agreement.
3. Consider buying out in negotiations particularly onerous clauses, such as minimum manning provisions, limitations on temporary transfer of employees and prohibition on work out of classification.
4. Obtain top management commitment to the program. Educate in-house counsel.
5. Communicate the program to the unions, employees and supervisors by sitting down and talking with them. Approach the most receptive unions first. Use them as a selling point before approaching more difficult unions.
6. Eliminate collateral source payments, such as long-term disability, short-term disability and use of vacation and sick time, effectively allowing employees to earn more when they don't work than when they do.
7. Show the employees and union how much workers' compensation costs the company with sound factual information.
8. Use a comparison showing how much in sales it takes to pay for injuries. Sales to Pay for Accidents Calculator.
9. Get signed waivers to avoid future claims, such as American with Disability (ADA) claims.
10. Request "withdrawal cards" before lump sum settlements are authorized.
11. Share savings with employees who participate in the company's return-to-work program. Add this to bonuses, not to wages, so it does not become an ongoing obligation.
12. Consider employer legal responsibilities under ADA. Remind the union of their own obligations to support these legal requirements.
13. Have a company representative attend all hearings to describe the job requirements and offer details as needed. For more cost-saving tips go to WC Cost Reduction Tips.

TOKYO — Faced with a hailstorm of passes by the American School In Japan, Yokota did what it does best — run — to capture its fifth straight Kanto Plain Association of Secondary Schools football title.
Roy Roach ran 19 times for 162 yards and two touchdowns and Jeremiah Pearcey added 157 yards and three scores on 11 carries as Yokota scored 33 unanswered points to corral ASIJ 40-14 on Saturday at Mustang Valley.
Yokota (8-0 overall, 5-0 in Kanto) ran its on-field winning streak to 36 games, the second-best in Pacific high school football history.
Mustangs junior quarterback Ben Seevers twice lit up the Panthers secondary for TDs, keeping Yokota off-balance with a blend of draws, counters, traps and screen passes. The Panthers failed to force a turnover and didn’t record any sacks.
“I have to credit ASIJ,” said Yokota coach Tim Pujol. “They did a good job protecting their passer. We knew they were going to throw, but they exposed something we need to work on this week. They mixed their runs and passes well.”
Seevers, a slender left-hander whose father, John, is ASIJ’s longtime defensive coordinator, went 10-for-19 for 144 yards.
His 47-yard first-quarter TD pass to Nathan Tanaka tied it at 7-7. Tanaka snatched the ball out of cornerback D.J. McCary’s hands and raced up the right sideline for the score.
From there, Yokota dominated until the final drive, when Seevers went 4-for-4 for 59 yards, including an 8-yard TD pass to Daniel Welch with 11 seconds left.
Yokota quarterback Shawn Novak was also efficient, finishing 6-for-7 for 95 yards, including a 3-yard TD pass to Corie White, who caught five passes for 52 yards. Roach scored on runs of 4 and 20 yards, while Pearcey added TD runs of 2, 1 and 89 yards.
The Panthers outgained the Mustangs, 459-270. Seevers accounted for 170 yards of offense. Tanaka ran 15 times for 52 yards and caught three passes for 71.
Zama American 33, Robert D. Edgren 16
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan — Zama (5-3 overall, 4-3 Japan Football League) got an early scare but rallied from a 14-0 deficit, scoring 26 unanswered points in the second half against the Eagles (0-6).
Defensive end Kyle Deutsch ran an intercepted option pitchout 22 yards for a touchdown and recorded a safety on an end-zone sack, and Jason Emery fell on a fumble in the end zone before the Trojans’ offense, missing six starters due to ACT testing, cranked it up in the third period.
Donovan Nance had TD runs of 40 and 80 yards, Gavon Watson added a 3-yard run, Anthony Garcia ran 8 yards for a score and David McMahon delivered a 1-yard sneak to fuel Zama’s rally. Nance carried 15 times for 185 yards and finished with 240 all-purpose yards. Zama forced five turnovers.
Deutsch also caught four passes for 60 yards from Bryan Krueger, who was 8-for-18 for 144 yards and returned a fumble 45 yards. Jeff Fotakis ran 18 times for 53 yards, while Woody Carter caught two passes for 50 yards.
Nile C. Kinnick 42, Matthew C. Perry 0
IWAKUNI MARINE CORPS AIR STATION, Japan — Lenny Lynce ran 14 yards for a TD and had a 12-yard scoring toss to David McDermott, gaining 162 all-purpose yards to power the Red Devils (6-2).
Kinnick, 5-2 in the JFL, kept alive its slim hopes for a berth in next month’s Rising Sun Bowl V on Okinawa.
McDermott recorded a safety and returned the ensuing free kick 55 yards for a score. Brenden Lynce had 88 yards and two TDs on four carries, plus eight tackles and two batted passes.
Matt Trevino added a safety, Jamal Tolbert had 12 tackles and Richie Korth blocked two punts. Lenny Lynce finished with nine tackles.
Seoul American 43, Taegu American 14
YONGSAN GARRISON, South Korea — Paced by an offense that racked up 424 yards and six TDs, the Falcons capped a 4-0 season in the first year of DODDS-sponsored football in South Korea.
Since the 2001 Korea Youth Activities League-Senior Division season, Seoul American has won 16 straight, the Pacific’s second-longest streak.
But unlike the teams’ first meeting, which Seoul American won 59-6 on Oct. 4 in Taegu, the Falcons had their hands full early.
Brian McGee of the Warriors (0-3) scored twice on running plays. Seoul American hurt itself with penalties, getting flagged 22 times for 155 yards.
The Falcons overcame all that as Steve Sivak ran 11 times for 105 yards and two TDs and caught two passes for 65 yards. Leo Pacheco added 99 yards and a score on eight carries and 37 yards on four catches.
Bruce Voelker and Ryan Robbins combined to go 13-for-18 for 207 yards and three TDs. Jeremy Christopher caught five passes for 72 yards and a score, Voelker had three receptions for 27 yards and a TD and Robbins added a 13-yard scoring run.
Scott Tunis had 10 tackles and an interception. Brandon Church and Ezra Taimanglo added six tackles each, with Taimanglo recovering a fumble.
George Washington 36, Guam High 6
MANGILAO, Guam — Fresh off a 36-0 win a week earlier over Guam International Christian Academy, the Panthers (2-2) came crashing back to Earth as Danny Manibusan of the Geckos (2-1) threw four touchdown passes, three to Mateo Matanane.
Manibusan went 5-for-14 for 183 yards and the Geckos racked up 156 yards on 20 rushing attempts. Hosea Ware ran seven times for 85 yards and caught a 55-yard scoring pass from Manibusan.
The Panthers managed 76 yards on 28 rushing tries, with Theo Tom scoring the team’s only points on a 25-yard run to open the second period.

Extreme power outages have become routine during the Christmas and Easter seasons in Pakistan despite repeated protests by the Christian community, ASSIST News Service reports. Since the current government came into power, "prolonged [lack of power] has affected Christmas celebrations, prayer meetings, and day-to-day life of Christians," said human rights activist Ashfaq Fateh. "Due to lack of electricity, poor Christian workers do not get their wages and they are deprived of buying ration and clothes for their families." Rasheed Jalal, district president of the Pakistan Muslim League for the minorities' wing, said: "Every year when Christmas and Easter comes, the government extends power outages; Christians across the country protest, but the government never listen to their peaceful protests." Youth leader Johnson Gill said, "If the government will not ensure non-stop supply of electricity, Christians will organize Christmas celebrations and prayers in front of [government] offices in protest."

If you were one of the people who were underwhelmed by this year’s comic book film offerings and were wondering when the really great comic book film would arrive, well, you can stop waiting. It’s finally here and its name is Captain America: The First Avenger. To comic book fans, it is a pitch perfect adaptation of one of Marvel’s oldest heroes with plenty of fan service easter eggs thrown in to keep them happy. To the non-comic literate, it is a rousing action film with humor, heart and characters you want to root for.
The film tells the story of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), a man who weighs 98-lbs soaking wet, with a list of medical maladies a page long, who undergoes a special treatment to become a super soldier. He’s meant to be the first in a line of said soldiers, only the scientist responsible, Dr. Abraham Erksine (Stanley Tucci) is assassinated by a minion of one of his former test subjects, the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving). This sets off a cavalcade of mayhem as Cap and Red Skull move towards their inevitable conflict.
The best comic book films make the necessary sacrifices to years of comic book continuity in order to get a cohesive narrative, yet never lose sight of the spirit of the piece of the work they are adapting. That’s exactly what Captain America: The First Avenger does. There are several major changes from the comic book, especially in the relationship between Cap and Bucky, but the changes improve the film. But they capture what makes Captain America to a T, know what even some comic book writers don’t that Cap doesn’t represent America, he represents the American ideal–never giving up, never backing away from a fight for right even if the odds are insurmmounatable, and putting others above himself. All of this is in the character and present perfectly.
The film, for those of you who have never read a comic in your life, has a plot, and one that doesn’t just exist to move the story from one CGI effect to another. That recap I gave you two paragraphs back? That is only the barest minimum of a descriptions. The plot is far more complex that that, with many twists and turns.
You probably reminded of other films while watching this one, especially Star Wars (the Red Skull’s Stormtroopers look a lot like George Lucas’ Stormtroopers, and there is a motocycle chase through the woods that call to mind the speeder bike chase in Return of the Jedi), but this is less ripping off Star Wars than paying homage to the movie serials that inspired it. There are several “cliffhanger” moments in the film that would be right at home in an offering from Repubilc or Columbia in the 1940s.
Joe Johnson does a great job directing. There are so many little touches, so much attention to detail, that you can’t help to be immersed in the flick. We get the feel of the period, even though the bad guys are firing lasers at us. We willingly suspend disbelief because the creators of the film worked so hard to makes us do that.
The acting is first rate. Chris Evans, usually the cocky and sarcastic rogue in any number of films, plays well against type. He plays Rogers as a kind and earnest man, self-effacing and humble. You believe the weaker Rogers, which is Evans’ head CGIed on another man’s body, because that person never leaves Rogers’ personality. This is definitely some of Evans’ finest work.
Weaving gives an effortless performance as the evil Red Skull and Tommy Lee Jones is suitably errasable as Colonel Chester Phillips, Cap’s commanding officer. And Hayley Atwell plays the character of Peggy Carter with skill and brio. You’ll believe that she is as strong as she appears to be on the screen, and her chemistry with Evans make their tragic romance work.
There are a number of Easter Eggs for the loyal Cap fans in the audience. One “cameo” that takes place early in the film made me shout the character’s name out in the movie theater. And the introduction of Arnim Zola is an artistic reference to his comic book persona. And even though I have seen reviews that state there isn’t an extra scene after the credits, there is.
Captain America: The First Avenger ranks up there with some of the best comic book adaptions ever made. It is a fun time at the theater and offers a lot that other comic book films do not. It is well worth seeing.
