Wang Jianlin is China’s invisible tycoon. Mr. Wang, the founder of Dalian Wanda group, will soon be the controlling shareholder of four publicly listed companies spanning cinemas, real estate and hotels with shares that trade in China, Hong Kong and New York. Yet he is not on the board of any of them. What may look like good governance raises a different set of questions.
Investors in Chinese companies are accustomed to founders having controlling stakes and wielding enormous power. But Mr. Wang has no official role in Wanda’s commercial property division, which is planning to list a minority stake in Hong Kong, or in the upcoming offering of its mainland Chinese cinema business. He is also absent from the American theater chain AMC Entertainment, which Wanda bought in 2012 and refloated a year later, and from its Hong Kong-listed hotel unit.
Wanda executives hold various board seats, including the chairman’s role at all four companies. Yet the tycoon’s lack of direct involvement is unusual.
At first glance, it’s reassuring, because it looks as if he is distancing himself from the day-to-day running of the businesses. It may also reflect the fact that Wanda, with 178 real estate projects and around 500 cinemas as of September, has grown too big to be micro-managed by its founder.
Yet Mr. Wang is hardly stepping back. He won’t be selling shares in Wanda Commercial Property, according to a person familiar with the situation. And the reality is that founders are influential insiders.
Snagging land in China’s property market depends on connections. Mr. Wang will continue to trade between his companies too, as tenant, landlord and supplier. If his talks to buy the film studio Lions Gate Entertainment come to fruition, Wanda productions will be showing on AMC and Wanda Cinema Line’s big screens. Having board seats or a clear role wouldn’t remove scope for undue meddling, but would add transparency and accountability.
The biggest unknown is Mr. Wang himself, ranked China’s second-richest man by the Hurun Report. Chinese billionaires operate in a deeply political system, and anything that affects Mr. Wang’s personal reputation would swiftly be reflected in the share prices of his portfolio companies. Investors may be glad that he is taking a hands-off approach, but they shouldn’t pretend he doesn’t have a leading role.

Recently, gold has been trading upwards. The price tested the level of $1,340.42. According to the 30M time-frame, I found a successful rejection of the pivot level ($1,330.84), which is a sign that selling looks risky. I also found a hidden bullish divergence on the stochastic oscillator, which is another sign of strength. My advice is to watch for potential buying opportunities. The upward targets are set at $1,342.00 and at $1,349.75.
Trading recommendations for today: watch for potential buying opportunities.

Air Mattress Gif
Shopping For The Right Bed mattress
The majority of people are unaware that their bed mattress is old and doesn’t offer sufficient support, doing you more damage than good. If your bed mattress disturbs your sleep, so that you feel some firm details and even springs under the material and cushioning, then it’s certainly the time to it and search using bed mattress ratings and reviews as a guide.
A good bed mattress does more than offering you a soft comfy place to rest after the long day or a location to cuddle with your enjoyed one. The best mattress might in fact enhance your sleep and posture keeping your spinal column in the best position for seven to nine hours.
If your sleep is even worse than it used to be a few months back, check for indications of mattress deterioration. To determine whether you need a new mattress, bear in mind of any stiffness or sore muscles or joints when you awaken in the morning. Any friction of the materials, uncommon noises and if there is a noticeable dip formed by one or two sleeping bodies on the mattress will inform you that the mattress needs to be changed.
A lot of bed mattress rankings consider such qualities of a bed mattress as density, the product the bed mattress is made from, a guarantee, cost point and special functions such as hypoallergenic qualities, stress-relieving design, and the material of the covering. After carefully studying the client reviews and bed mattress ratings, this is what most people try to find in a bed mattress:
1. The product.
Organic cotton and soft wool have actually become preferred amongst health-conscious buyers. Nevertheless, cotton and wool bed mattress are not treated with fire-retarding chemicals needed by law. The mattress ought to not include any polyester fillings and must be made from pure wool, ideally lamb or alpaca wool or a minimum of latex foam. The ideal bed mattress should be dye-free, allergen repellent, hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial. Preferably, the bed mattress should be moisture repellent and flame resistant, too. The mattress should be encased in unbleached organic cotton. Memory foam bed mattress are highly ranked as the most suitable bed mattress for allergy victims, however some individuals suggested that these mattresses end up being stiffer in a hot climate.
2. The shape.
Firm bed mattress supply more support and the most high end designs are doctor-prescribed. In general most customers prefer soft and thick mattresses which supply more convenience. The most typical dream is that the bed mattress ought to restore its shape and should not flatten with time. People extremely ranked bed mattress that are durable and are most likely to last many years.
3. The size.
Many bed mattress reviewed in bed mattress scores are available in twin (single), double, queen, king and Californian economy size. In general, individuals prefer to buy a mattress from a maker that uses all you can possibly imagine sizes.
Your bed mattress foundation is likewise important. Ideally, you ought to get it from the exact same producer since it will prolong the life of the bed mattress. When appropriately picked, mattress and structure will keep your spinal column healthy and naturally curved, ensuring you have an excellent sleep and pain-free early morning. After a good night sleep on an orthopedic bed mattress your sleep will end up being deeper, and you will have much more energy during the day.

Fearless Leadership – Neuroscience Helps us Understand our Common Stress at Work – Making us Better Leaders
Amidst the Global Financial Crisis, fear prevails and plays havoc with our minds. Those of us in the workplace who can use our mind to recognise fear for what it is: False Evidence Appearing Real, are able to transform the emotional energy of fear into courage and create an organisation changing platform that sees us concentrating on moving forward despite the obstacles. Those who cannot accept and convert their fear into courage will instead resort to hunkering down, conserving cash, and disposing assets – and these assets are often some of the organisation’s best talent.
In leadership development, we use a four-part model to teach the art of ‘conscious choice’– reminding leaders that they have the neuroscience-proven ability to choose their mental response to any stimulus no matter how stressful it seems at first. Viktor Frankl, a Jewish psychiatrist who survived a concentration camp, taught us this most effectively in his book Man’s Search for Meaning when he wrote so beautifully that “… man’s last freedom will always be to choose the state of his mind regardless to any situation.”
The first part of this model is about recognising work situations that provoke fear responses in our brain in which our minds trick us to believing we are under life-and-death threat. David Rock, author of Our Brains at Work, coined the term ‘SCARF’ to describe status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness issues in which our brains experience fear threats that simulate the fear threats of being chased by a sabre-toothed tiger. Our untrained brains are not always capable of distinguishing the typical work stressors with the real life- and-death threats, and as a result, our untrained minds and bodies can experience the adrenaline and cortisol surges of the death threat on a daily basis.
The second part of the model has us learning how we typically respond to such stimuli at work – our signature ‘stress response’. Each of us has a particular version of autopilot behaviour when we don’t use ‘choice’. Some of us get aggressive (‘fight’); some of us escape the scene to avoid conflict (‘flee’) and some of us just hunker down and try to make as little noise as possible (‘freeze’). Consciously catching ourselves in the act of responding to threat and observing our patterns in breath, heart rate, and body posture is critical in training our minds that there is a different way of responding.
The third part of the model teaches us the neuroscientific ‘veto power’. From the time any ‘life and death’ stimulus reaches our bodies, it takes 0.3 seconds for our conscious mind to register it as a potential threat and then 0.2 seconds for it to choose to respond. This 0.2 seconds is where we can veto our automatic threat response, recognising that the stimulus is actually not a life-and- death threat, but rather a typical work stress that we can deal with through the rational part of our mind. Within this veto power, we can virtually press the pause button to break the stimulus-response cycle that we find ourselves normally falling into in typical stress situations and choose a more rational response. This is leadership.
The fourth part of the model shows that this choice mechanism gets easier the more ‘fit’ the mind is. The rise of the popularity of the term ‘mindfulness’ is a call for us to invest more time in the health of our minds as well as our bodies. Through such technologies as functional MRI, we can see how the brain can change itself with mental fitness training. For example, we are learning much from the ancient practices of meditation by observing Buddhist monks under functional MRI – who are showing us that brains can be trained to deal so much more effectively with stress and instead be wired for empathy, intuition and creativity.
At the end of the day, leadership is truly synonymous with conscious intent. The art of being aware of your brain’s machinations and how you can control these machinations with your mind is quintessential in the art of leadership. “It is the brain that puts out the call, but it is the mind that decides what to listen to,” as neuroscientist Jeffrey Schwartz argues. “We have no control over the messages the brain sends you—we only have veto power about what we act on.”
Perhaps we can draw comfort from one of the greatest leaders in times of difficulty, Winston Churchill, who reminds us from the past that “an optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity.” We believe that great leaders choose optimism.

Microwave signal source
A simple signal source can be made using an old LNB discrete mixer diode (Marconi Blue cap devices are best) driven by a signal source at a frequency that can be mutltiplied up to the band of you choice.
It consists of a microwave mixer stripline diode package soldered across the probe (spiggot) of an sma connector or even a short length of semi-rigid coax. when using a single diode a short wire loop is soldered in parallel with the diode to act as a DC return and choke. Both loop and diode are soldered, at their other ends, to the flange of the sma socket or to the outer of the semi rigid coax. Since the diode package used is a double array only one half of it needs to be used.
Single diodes will produce even harmonics and anti-parrallel or back to back diodes will produce odd harmonics - a drive level of up to +10dB can be used without harming the diodes.
A 1GHz drive source producing 8mW or so then drives the diode multplier described above. Excellent stable and strong harmonics are easily found on all microwave bands to 24GHz. G8KMH measured the 47GHz harmonic of his marker on a spectrum analyser and reckons it could be heard over a km or so! (Given a suitable dish of course!). G3PHO also uses a G4DDK004 oscillator module at 2419.2MHz to produce a handy portable marker for his 24GHz narrowband equipment.
HP / Agilient mixer diode type HSMS8101 are available from Franco https://www.rf-microwave.com/en/hewlett-packard/hsms-8101/single-schottky-diode/hsms-8101/ or ebay and are very efficient at 122 – using it in the base of an old WD40 gives a 15dB signal over 15 mts across the garden.
The higher in frequency the drive source the better the chances of obtaining a useful harmonic on the millimetre bands such as 47GHz. An accurate source at 2350MHz producing a few milliwatts will do the trick.
To obtain ouput on the higher bands the diode can be driven by an Elcom synth, Nort LO or a brick oscillator
When driven with 11.1GHz a BlueCap mixer diode produces useful output at 122.4GHz.

New Honey Labeling Rules Proposed by the FDA
On April 8, 2014 the FDA set new draft guidelines for what can be called pure honey. In the past some of the honey on store shelves, either US-made or imported, did not have to have labeling that indicated anything other than that honey was in their product. Now honey would be labeled as having added sweeteners such as sugar, corn syrup, or other additions if these ingredients are used. It must also say that it is a “honey blend” and not pure honey. The Food and Drug Administration also says that any product that’s been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn’t honey. However, the FDA isn’t checking honey sold here to see if it contains pollen.
The proposal’s aim is “to advise the regulated food industry on the proper labeling of honey and honey products to help ensure that honey and honey products are not adulterated or mis-branded,” the FDA wrote.
It is estimated that the U.S. imports the majority of the 400 million pounds of honey we consume each year. To meet this demand there were concerns that cheap substitutes are being manufactured. Only 149 million pounds of honey were produced in this country last year, so the difference had to be made up somewhere.
The FDA decided to look at the question of adulterated honey after a petition from the American Beekeeping Federation and other groups asked for a standard definition of honey to promote fair trade. The agency did not agree on the fair trade issue, but decided to review labeling.
Honey makers now have 60 days to comment on the proposal before the final rules are issued. And even then, the guidelines aren’t mandatory. It only allows for the FDA to make an official statement on the matter.
If you are concerned about what you’re getting in your honey and want to avoid corn syrup and other sweeteners, look no further than local honey producers who offer pure sweet honey from local sources. Visit your farmers’ market and talk with your local beekeepers to find out how they produce their honey.

PM Modi In UAE: After the controversy over the Prophet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going on a tour for the first time in a Muslim country. PM Narendra Modi will visit United Arab Emirates (UAE) today after participating in G-7. Here he will meet President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This will be a brief tour of PM Modi. Along with this, he will also condole the death of former UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Nahyan died on 13 May. He took over as President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu Dhabi on 3 November 2004. UAE has been a major partner of India. In such a situation, it is clear after this visit that the relationship between the two countries will be further strengthened. After the Prophet controversy, PM Modi’s visit to UAE is considered important.
UAE is India’s largest trading partner
UAE is the third largest trading partner of India. There is a business of Rs 60,664.37 crore between the two countries. In which India imports Rs 38,901.88 crore. While exports Rs 21,762.49 crore. According to information received from the Ministry of Commerce, UAE has got India petroleum products, precious metals, stones, gems and jewellery, minerals, food items such as cereals, sugar, fruits and vegetables, tea, meat and seafood, textiles, engineering and machinery products and chemicals. exports.

Hyderabad: Work on the ₹14,132-crore Hyderabad metro rail project has gathered pace with the Telangana government keen on commissioning one of the longest networks, a stretch of 30 km, at one go during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Hyderabad in November.
While couple of stretches of 8 km and another one of 11 km are ready for commissioning and had secured various approvals, including rail safety, the State Government has decided to launch the project connecting two completed stretches across two lines running to a total distance of 30 km.
Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has requested Prime Minister to launch the project when he visits Hyderabad to take part in a Global Entrepreneurship Summit to be held here in November.
The concessionaire, construction major L&T, has been implementing the project, a 72-km long elevated metro corridor, connecting three dense stretches, under the public private partnership mode.
While the project was to be completed by July 2017, it faced several hurdles, including land acquisition in some segments and right of way in certain places. L&T has been given one year extension to complete the project.
Some of the crucial and complex rail over bridge links, interconnect stations, and smaller links are now being executed.
NVS Reddy, Managing Director of Hyderabad Metro Rail Ltd, said, “With the Chief Minister directing completion of the 13-km stretch between Miyapur and Ameerpet on Corridor I and Nagole to Ameerpet, a stretch of 17-km on Corridor III by November, the focus is on these stretches.”
Sources executing the project, requesting anonymity, stated that it is a race against time as the deadline is stiff given the critical links on railway lines, and some interconnect stations are in the process of being completed. Two such installations are now under execution at the Secunderabad junction, where a massive rail over-bridge is being installed and another at an interconnect where two rail lines meet at Ameerpet.
L&T has also simultaneously taken up transit oriented development at several locations. These are at advanced stage of completion.
To ensure the project gets ready for commissioning by November 2017, KT Rama Rao, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister, is monitoring the progress.The PMO team that tracks major projects in the country is also keeping an eye.

Flashcards in Dementia drugs Deck (17):
delirium vs dementia
Cognitive dysfunction that occurs over a shorter time frame with notable confusion, particularly acute onset changes that may last hours to days and even up to weeks, may represent delirium
The most common causes of dementia include:
• Alzheimer's disease
• Vascular or multi-infarct dementia
• Parkinson’s disease
• Dementia with Lewy bodies
Current FDA-approved medications for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
mild to moderate cases:
Donepezil, Galantamine and Rivastigmine
moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease:
Memantine, an NMDA receptor partial antagonist
• Anticholinergic medications have long been observed to commonly cause memory impairment and confusion.
• The cholinergic hypothesis postulates that the destruction of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and the resultant deficit in cholinergic transmission in the brain is the basis for the neurologic deficits associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
thus acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors for Alzheimer disease therapy.
(a.k.a. the anti-cholinesterases) are agents that inhibit the cholinesterase enzyme from breaking down the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.
s enhanced cholinergic transmission is felt to be responsible for the reduction of the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer's dementia placed on drugs of this class.
antidote to anti-cholinergic poisoning
AChEIs are also used as an antidote to anti-cholinergic poisoning as can occur with organophosphate poisoning and nerve gas exposure.
potent parasympathetic effects of AChEIs
bradycardia, hypotension, increased urination, increased lacrimation, broncho-constriction, GI tract hypermotility with nausea and vomiting.
Nerve gases MOA
Nerve gases irreversibly inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase; this results in a chronically high level of acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses throughout the body, thus chronically stimulating acetylcholine receptors throughout the body.
• Donepezil (Aricept) is a centrally acting reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
• Its main therapeutic use is in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease where it is used to increase cortical acetylcholine.
• Donepezil has been tested and used as an off-label treatment for other cognitive disorders including both Lewy body dementia and vascular dementia.
Donepezil/ Aricept SE
• The most commonly experienced side effects of Donepezil and the other agents in this class of drugs include bradycardia, nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal pain and vivid dreams.
• There are at least two studies that suggest that Donepezil can potentially increase and improve the vocabulary and expressive language of children affected with autism.
• Rivastigmine (Exelon) is another centrally acting, reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
• Rivastigmine is approved for treatment of mild to moderate dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and mild to moderate dementia due to Parkinson's disease.
• The drug can be administered orally or via a transdermal patch with the patch form reducing the prevalence of side effects.
The presence of hallucinations appears to be a predictor of especially strong responses to Rivastigmine, both in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's disease patients. ANd younger age of onset.
• Galantamine is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease and mild to moderate vascular dementia.
• Along with other cholinergics or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as Huperzine A, Galantamine has also been used as a "brain enhancer" to improve memory in brain-damaged adults
Acetylcholinesterase inhibiting drug O.D.
• Overdosage of the acetylcholinesterase inhibiting drugs may give rise to severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, convulsions and circulatory collapse.
• The anticholinergic drug atropine is indicated as an antidote for overdose.
• Abnormal function of glutamatergic neurotransmission is hypothesized as another factor contributing to the etiology of Alzheimer's disease.
• Targeting the glutamatergic system, specifically the NMDA receptors, is a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's.
• Memantine is the first drug in a novel class of medications which acts to block NMDA glutamate receptors.
Memantine/ Namenda MOA
• By binding to NMDA receptors, Memantine is able to inhibit the prolonged influx of Ca2+ ions which appears to play an important role in neuronal excitotoxicity.


The vice-president is doing a blitz of end-of-the-year interviews. Among them is one airing today with CBS’s Face the Nation host Margaret Sullivan. The takeaway from the interview is when Kamala is asked what her biggest failure has been as vice-president, she said she doesn’t get outside the D.C. bubble enough.
Kamala’s polling numbers are bad. She usually comes off as tone-deaf and uses a nervous habit of cackling before answering a serious question. She did that, too, with Brennan. She began her response with a cackle as if to brush the question aside. She has a fear of being guilty of living in a bubble, she said.
.@VP Harris admits that her biggest failure is not leaving DC more due to COVID: “My biggest concern is I don't ever want to be in a bubble when it comes to being aware of and in touch with what people need at any given moment.”
— Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) December 24, 2021
Living in a bubble goes with the job. The challenge is to keep in touch with the needs of Americans anyway. This administration has a bad habit of ignoring the many crises they face. Kamala’s top priority, the job first delegated to her by Biden, is one she clearly does not want. She’s supposed to be the border czar yet she refuses to even travel to the southern border for a first-hand look at the problems of a porous border. There is a lack of resources to handle border security and a lack of will by the administration. All Kamala ever says is that she told Guatemalans not to come during her visit there last June. She continues to talk about addressing the root causes of migration from Northern Triangle countries yet never speaks of specifics other than twisting the arms of corporate CEOs to pledge to allocate millions of dollars to the countries. If throwing money at these countries was the solution, there would be no problems today because for decades previous administrations have used that approach, too. The leaders of these countries are often corrupt and not particularly interested in showing vigilance in distributing the money from foreign donors. Those in need don’t see changes for a better life.
I focus on Kamala’s failure as border czar because, in my opinion, it is her biggest failure. It’s a dangerous lack of commitment with the potential to be a national security problem, along with humanitarian and public health crises. She can blame the pandemic for a lack of traveling to do her job but Biden, who is 79 years old and noticeably feeble, gets out of his basement to pitch his Build Back Better fever dream of social spending legislation and to take a victory lap for getting the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed. Kamala made one trip to the El Paso area this year and did so without incident. It’s possible, she just has the excuse of the pandemic to not go to where she doesn’t want to go. The pandemic hasn’t stopped her from traveling back and forth to California and her home there. She made appearances with Gavin Newsom this year.
Harris, who had a COVID scare earlier in the week after coming into contact with an infected staffer, went on: ‘I mean, and I actually mean that sincerely for a number of reasons.
‘You know, I, we, the president and I came in, you know, COVID had already started,’ she continued. ‘The pandemic had started. And when we came in we really couldn’t travel.’
‘You know, a large part of the relationship that he and I have built has been being in this, you know, together in the same office for hours on end, doing Zooms or whatever because we couldn’t get out of D.C., and on issues that are about fighting for anything from voting rights to child care, to one of the issues that I care deeply about, maternal health.
‘Being with the people who are directly impacted by this work, listening to them so that they, not some pundit, tells us what their priorities are. I think it’s critically important.’
‘People are, people have a right to know and believe that their government actually sees and hears them.
‘My biggest concern is, I don’t ever want to be in a bubble when it comes to being aware of and in touch with what people need at any given moment in time.’
Not only does Kamala look incompetent and out of her league in her role as vice-president, but she also looks indifferent. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat who represents the Rio Grande Valley in the House and a border security hawk, has given up trying to work with her and her office. No one, including Kamala, returns his calls. Cuellar has called for her to be replaced as border czar.
Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, a moderate whose district covers nearly 200 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, told the New York Times he had been disappointed by his interactions with Harris, who was tasked by President Biden with addressing the migrant border crisis. When Cuellar learned she was finally visiting the border in June, more than three months after being appointed by Biden to handle the issue, his staff called her office to offer advice. Her office didn’t return the call.
“I say this very respectfully to her: I moved on,” Cuellar said. “She was tasked with that job, it doesn’t look like she’s very interested in this, so we are going to move on to other folks that work on this issue.”
Kamala has ventured outside of D.C. both domestically and internationally. She has taken trips to Las Vegas, Chicago, Charlotte, San Francisco, and Newark. Most of these trips were to encourage people to get vaccinated or to talk about BBB. She traveled to Asia and to France in what were seen as attempts to boost her foreign policy creds. No matter where she goes, she manages to receive bad press. In France she was criticized for shopping for French cookware, which is petty but nonetheless, the critics pounced on her. Nothing much came from her trip to France to smooth things over with Macron after the U.S. pushed France out of the U.S.-U.K.-Australia deal on submarine technology. The press coverage of her trip to Asia included stories of being late to events. In other words, she received photo ops for her travels but little else came of them.
The vice-president is struggling to figure out what exactly her role is, according to reports. It seems that eleven months into the job, she should have that figured out by now. We were told that the Biden administration was the return of the professionals in D.C., the people who know how to make the government run and address problems. Turns out, neither Biden nor his vice-president is up to the job.
“I think it’s no secret that the different things she has been asked to take on are incredibly demanding, not always well understood publicly and take a lot of work as well as a lot of skill,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in an interview. “You have to do everything except one thing, which is take credit.”
We know that Kamala expects to run for the presidency after Biden. Biden clearly handed these jobs to her to give her some experience in the executive branch. She ran for Biden’s job and quickly flamed out. She blames her bad press on racism and sexism, and it’s probably no surprise she consults with Hillary Clinton regularly.
Faced with declining approval ratings, a series of staff departures and a drumbeat of criticism from Republicans and the conservative news media, she has turned to powerful confidantes, including Hillary Clinton, to help plot a path forward.
Ms. Harris has privately told her allies that the news coverage of her would be different if she were any of her 48 predecessors, whom she has described as all white and male. (Charles Curtis, who served as vice president under Hoover, spoke proudly of his Native American ancestry.) She also has confided in them about the difficulties she is facing with the intractable issues in her portfolio, such as voting rights and the root causes of migration. The White House has pushed back against scathing criticism on both fronts, for what activists say is a lack of attention.
Racism and sexism can’t be blamed for Kamala’s bad press when she has failed to make her own accomplishments. As for the whine that no other vice-president has received such bad press, has she ever heard of Dan Quayle?

According to polling data by Pollster Institute, voters who identify themselves as supporters or the ruling conservative Law and Justice (PiS) are in favor of a coalition between their party and the Confederation by a margin of three to two.
However, there is no such enthusiasm for a PiS-Confederation coalition among Confederation voters who reject the proposal by more than two to one.
Latest opinion surveys indicate that Confederation will hold the balance of power after this autumn’s election. As a result, the party is increasingly the subject of speculation as to whom it will form a coalition with.
Sławomir Mentzen took to Twitter to debunk what he sees as the myth of the Confederation forming a coalition with the governing Law and Justice (PiS).
“Our voters don’t want a coalition with PiS and we keep saying, we want to end PiS’s time in office and move them away from the ‘trough,’” he wrote.
He added that “journalists keep writing nonsense about our coalition with PiS. Do I have to use sign language to you for you to understand?” he quipped.
The Confederation party disagrees strongly with PiS on economic policy and personal freedoms such as the right to own firearms. The two parties do however support traditional family and Christian values and oppose the drift towards a federal European Union. In addition, Confederation is increasingly skeptical of PiS’ stance on immigration, with the ruling government opposed to illegal immigration, but having also facilitating a record number of non-European immigrants into the country. PiS has recently come under criticism from even the left over its lax immigration policies, and although it is the same left that has promoted open borders for Poland, the conservative party knows it is vulnerable on the issue.

THIS IS STUPID AND DANGEROUS AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT SHOULD BE FIRED:Asking people to show up on time is not inclusive, says Clemson employee training. “It disrespects other people’s cultures to ask them to follow American conventions of appointments starting when they are literally scheduled to start.”It disrespects our culture to be in America and not follow American conventions. And Clemson is mostly an engineering school, where precision and accuracy matter more than culture. Or should, anyway. . . .

This reminds me of the semiconductor plant built near Gallup, New Mexico several decades back. It hired a lot of Indians who had otherwise no job opportunities. Soon though, it happened: one day no one showed up for work. Several days later, they were back. Asked why they didn't come to work, they replied, "everyone knows that there was a rodeo up in Tuba City". The plant didn't last much more than a year, if that.

About the Author
Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz is Sydenham Clark Parsons Professor of History Emerita at Smith College.
"A convincing, absorbing, and perceptive book." --Publishers Weekly
"Wild Unrest is enthralling. Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a brilliant, passionate, self-divided young American woman--prone to depression. Here is the powerful story of how she became a great American--one who could find both love and her life's work."--Catharine R. Stimpson, New York University
"With brilliant psychological and literary insight, Wild Unrest probes the conflicts between love and work that defined Charlotte Perkins Gilman's early adult life. The book will forever change our understanding of Gilman's most disturbing, and justly famous, work of fiction." -- Elisabeth Israels Perry, author of Belle Moskowitz: Feminine Politics and the Exercise of Power in the Age of Alfred E. Smith
"An erudite, accessible, and timely tale of an extraordinary woman, whose words and deeds, in Horowitz's deft hands, lay bare the contours of passion, power, suffering, and medicine in a critical chapter of American life." -- Andrea Tone, Canada Research Chair in the Social History of Medicine
"An intelligent provocative read." --Louise Gleason, Worcester Women's History Project
"[A] fascinating account of one woman's attempts to navigate the tightly circumscribed social world of the 1800s...Horowitz's account is compelling..." --Phoebe Connelly, Bookforum
"Horowitz found an interesting relationship to follow: our bold dreamer Charlotte and struggling artist Walter." --Carmen Johnson, tk reviews
"In Wild Unrest: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the Making of The Yellow Wall-Paper, Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz brings Gilman's life and work together in an engaging portrait of the woman and her times." --Anna Mundow, Boston Globe
'[Horowitz] takes a gentle, yet personal approach, letting Gilman speak for herself much of the time through her diaries and letters... Wild Unrest is refreshingly non-reductive, in that its author allows Gilman to be complex, to have a nature that is both loving and resistant, physical and intellectual, male and female. Horowitz shares evidence of Gilman's deep affection for women without categorizing her in terms of today's sexual dichotomies. She also places Gilman's melancholic episodes in context, and provides a fascinating history behind terms like "neurasthenia," and famed neurologist S. Weir Mitchell's "rest cure."'
-- Angela Meyer, Bookslut
'The first new biography, a must for "Wallpaper" geeks, is the elegantly written Wild Unrest: Charlotte Perkins Gilman and the Making of the Yellow Wall-Paper.' --Paula Kamen, Ms. Magazine

Vande Mataram row: After Meerut
Vande Mataram row: After Meerut, Bareilly civic body makes singing National song before board meeting compulsory
Bareilly, April 3: Following the Meerut row, now Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) corporators have decided to sing the national song ‘Vande Mataram’ before every board meeting. However, their Samajwadi Party (SP) counterparts are not seen much please with this move of the BJP. This in a way recolours the happenings of Meerut Municipal Corporation and brings about the question if with this the BJP targeting yet another controversy?
According to Vikash Sharma, BJP, it was a norm to sing the national song before beginning any board meeting during his four terms as a corporator. But according to him, this practice was discontinued after the appointment of Dr. IS Tomar from the SP as the mayor. On the other hand, SP corporator Rajesh Agarwal told The Times of India that the BJP was trying to create a controversy like Meerut.
Huffington Post reported that in Meerut Mayor Harikan
t Ahluwalia warned the corporators of action if they refused to sing the national song. This upset the Muslim corporators who claimed that although they respect the national song, Vande Mataram, they cannot be forced to sing like the mayor and the BJP corporators did and even the Supreme Court has said that it is not mandatory.

To make matters more confusing, nine states (including California, Washington, and Colorado) let residents buy cannabis-based products with or without THC. Nearly two dozen other “medical marijuana states” allow the sale of cannabis, including capsules, tinctures, and other items containing CBD or THC, at licensed dispensaries to people whose doctors have certified that they have an approved condition (the list varies by state but includes chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, autism, Crohn’s disease, and multiple sclerosis). Sixteen more states legalized CBD for certain diseases.
So, you need a CBD-induced mood change. You need to calm your mind, boost your vibe, refocus, and perhaps meditate on a few things. There are plenty of ways to get the right dose, but you’d prefer these effects to settle in quickly and that CBD edible is definitely going to take its time kicking in. Topical creams won’t tackle the full-body feel you’re going for either.
Sol CBD creates and carries various skin care products, but one of our favorites is the Nourish Formula. Made in small batches to ensure quality and potency, this 30 mL bottle (according to the company) “brings your skin back to health with a powerful synergistic blend of herbs and cannabinoids.” The herbs they speak of include rosehip and rosemary, as well as some soothing essential oils like ylang ylang and lavender.
Pure CBD Vapors is considered one of the Pioneers of online CBD retail. Since our inception in 2014, we have offered the highest quality CBD products available. We know how important it is to our customers to offer them not only the highest quality CBD products, but at the lowest, fairest pricing. All of our world-class CBD brands for sale meet or exceed the most rigid vetting process bar none. Lab Reports and Results along with COA’s are always posted immediately when they become available for your viewing pleasure. It’s simple, we’re the best source for CBD Vape Oil around.
Now, scientific research is discovering why. Evidence from laboratory studies and clinical studies, have begun to reveal the mechanisms through which CBD helps control seizures. But, unlike most other conditions that CBD has been shown to treat, the FDA has actually agreed that the evidence is conclusive enough that CBD is now an approved medication for epilepsy for humans.
Amazon reviews may be few, but each are 5-star and outline excellent experiences in the management of pain and stress. On the company’s website, a plethora of customers site amazing experiences in managing pain. Consumers of Panacea’s F.A.S.T. hemp oil tablets are assisted in chronic pain and symptoms of anxiety, and mention assistance with sleeplessness and opioid use as well. All in all, buyers on amazon have experienced excellent satisfaction in results following regular use.
We don't get many returns, so we don't require any forms or documents; just be sure to include something with your name or order number so that we know which order to refund. We offer a 30-day return period for all our products if they are returned to us unopened and unused. Also, for many of our products, such as PurCBD and PurOtic, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee even if they are opened and completely used.
The key is to effectively gauge exactly how much CBD oil it takes to start managing your pain. If you start off right away with a maximum dose of a 600 mg tincture, you will have no idea how much of the product it actually took to treat your condition, and how much you wasted (this is also important because you do not want to exceed dosage and end up developing a tolerance to the active cannabinoids).
Keep calm. As an online leader in this rapidly growing industry, every single product available at Pure CBD Vapors is lab-tested for CBD purity and meets our gold standards. CBD demand is driving companies to emerge and innovate new products and delivery methods at a fascinating rate. As the marketplace surges, so should the demand for online retailers to rigorously vet these new products.
We ranked all of the most popular CBD vape oil brands in the world according to a variety of factors: effectiveness, price, flavors, customer service, and more. If you choose any of the brands from this list you can rest easy knowing that you’re going to get the maximum benefits of CBD from a reputable company that has been vetted by our team of CBD enthusiasts.
In one survey, parents of children who suffer from treatment-resistant epilepsy and use CBD were asked about the benefits. 19 parents were included, 84% of which said that CBD reduced the frequency of seizures. Two parents said that CBD completely resolved seizures. Parents also reported improved alertness, sleep, and mood. Some side effects were drowsiness and fatigue .
Yes, unfortunately we get this type of question frequently from internet trolls!The first misunderstanding here is rooted in thinking that hemp is the same as pot. Hemp is a form of the cannabis plant that does NOT have the psychoactive THC chemical; i.e., you cannot get high off hemp. To be considered hemp, a cannabis plant must have less than 0.3% THC. A good analogy is to compare grape juice to wine; when grape juice ferments, it becomes alcohol. If it doesn’t contain alcohol, it’s just grape juice. Your dog can no more get high from our PurCBD+ or hemp than you could get drunk by drinking grape juice.
Charlotte’s Web is currently one of the top CBD hemp brands in the U.S and is constantly featured on top authority websites such as The Wall Street Journal, Time and The Huffington Post. What started off as a hemp strain packed with CBD to help a girl named Charlotte Figi, soon turned into an empire. Today, Charlotte’s Web, formerly known as CWhemp offers a wide range of high-quality products including oils, capsules and even CBD gummies. Want to learn more check out our Charlotte’s Web CBD oil Review.
Though reviews are mixed, the majority of reviewers have reported positive experiences, mainly in regard to sleeplessness and stress. Other positive reviewers have cited assistance with muscle tension and pain. One reviewer stated that following prolonged use, the need for anti-inflammatory medication was eliminated. Surprisingly, the majority of negative reviews cite an unfavorable taste more often than decreased effects. Other negative amazon reviews site problems with shipping, and disappointment that the product is not a full spectrum hemp oil containing CBD.
Is CBD Legal? Marijuana-derived CBD products are illegal on the federal level, but are legal under some state laws. Hemp-derived CBD products (with less than 0.3 percent THC) are legal on the federal level, but are still illegal under some state laws. Check your state's laws and those of anywhere you travel. Keep in mind that nonprescription CBD products are not FDA-approved, and may be inaccurately labeled.
Bluebird Botanicals’ pet tincture (“Companion Oil”) offers 250 mg of CBD per 30 ml bottle, and the CBD is carried in organic hemp seed oil — a source of omega 6 and 3. The tincture has a stronger flavor than some, but customer reviews are positive, and the company stands behind their products with a solid return policy for your first purchase. Lab tests are also both easy to find and up-to-date.
This is used for pain relief and its anti-inflammatory. It can also be used for neuropathic pain. It is infused with CBD, herbs and other essential oils. It has a fragrance that you will surely like. You would also love the silky feeling of this cream on your skin. The cream is easily absorbed by the skin into the bloodstream. CBD has beneficial effects without psychotic effects.


Thousands of skilled workers have recently applied to work in Halifax, after a tour of international job fairs had far more success than expected.
The Halifax Partnership, the city's public-private economic development organization, attended job fairs in November and December alongside the provincial and federal governments. The events were in London, Paris, Toronto, and Rabat, Morocco.
Wendy Luther, Partnership CEO, said they initially thought a target of 1,000 applications for 35 job offers from Halifax companies was ambitious.
But then 4,000 applications came in.
"To receive four-fold what we were hoping for was very motivating," Luther said.
The effort was part of a pilot project funded by the municipality, which committed $200,000 to have the Partnership focus on recruiting tradespeople to come work in Halifax.
The Partnership said most of the jobs they were offering were in construction. From the pool of 4,000, about one-third of the applications were from tradespeople, while others were from workers in information technology, manufacturing, business and financial sectors.

They're now going through the pile of applications, and will try to match as many people as possible with local jobs, Luther said. The Partnership said they hope to see 1,000 people eventually immigrate to Halifax from this pool.
Part of the project required the Partnership to help employers find housing options for workers when they arrive, given the ongoing housing crisis in Halifax. Luther said they are working with local construction companies to consider putting modular housing on or near job sites.
"These individuals can live very close to where they work until they bring those buildings on stream," Luther said.
Luther said a few factors set Halifax apart at these fairs: going with job offers in hand, and having their own licensed immigration consultant and international recruiter. The international recruiter was hired for this project, and Luther said she has made a big difference in helping people navigate red tape to find the right immigration stream.
As Halifax continues rapidly growing, expecting to hit the half-million mark this year, Luther said it's clear many more tradespeople are needed to construct the buildings and infrastructure to support that growth.
A new employment outlook from Service Canada estimates Nova Scotia will have more than 7,000 job openings in trades and transport over the next two years, with nearly three-quarters arising because of attrition.
"We are not going to solve our challenges by closing our doors," Luther said.
"We're going to solve our challenges by bringing more people who can build the homes that we need, that can open the businesses that keep our cities compelling and vibrant, that keep our young people here."
Halifax Mayor Mike Savage said he's pleased to see such a "very significant" level of interest come from the recruitment program.
Savage said he feels immigration is important, but repeated his call for a new fiscal framework. He said municipalities should be getting a share of provincial and federal taxes to pay for rising infrastructure and service costs.
"It's not right that the order of government, which is us, that pays for 60 per cent of the infrastructure collects less than 10 per cent of the taxes — and yet we're the engines of economic growth," Savage said.
The province has set a growth target of two million people by 2060.

My mobile is...a...um...: "A survey of 761 mobile phone users aged 15 and over, commissioned from Ipsos MORI by LogicaCMG, found that 49 per cent of mobile phone users didn't know what model they use. A further nine per cent were unaware of the make.
Services firm LogicaCMG said this could mean mobile operators are losing money. If they knew what phones their customers were using, they would know what services they could try and flog them."
Erm. How does the fact that customers don't know what phone they have mean that operators don't know what phones their customers have? I don't follow this.
But it's a bit of a wake-up call for providers - whilst on the one hand I'd bet that most of the folks who are in the market for mobile data services these days are of a more sophisticated and technically-aware persuasion, why *should* customers need to know their make and model of handset?


text: 5/31/17 – While critics fear political witch hunts, a state panel has endorsed a bill to punish students who disrupt speakers on U-W campuses. The Assembly Colleges Committee sent the measure to the full house on an 8-6 party line vote Tuesday. Republicans said it would assure that all types of speech would not be shouted down, especially conservative views in liberal settings — while Democrats said it would result in students filing complaints against people they disagree with, and having politicians set policies that the Board of Regents are supposed to set. The bill would order the Regents to create a policy that punishes students for “violent and other disorderly conduct” that disrupts the free expression of others — and that’s more detailed than what Republican Jesse Kremer of Kewaskum originally proposed. The panel also ordered mandatory expulsions for those violating the policy three times.

The Palm Beach Post reported that Florida’s Republican legislators are inserting language into the budget conforming bills that will lower the average number of hours a day that nursing homes are required to provide direct-care to patients. The budget will lower the minimum weekly average of hours of direct-care that homes have to provide nursing care from 3.9 hours a day to 3.6 hours. Nursing assistant staffing hours would also drop from 2.7 hours to 2.5 hours.
After the budget meeting, a union for nursing home workers blasted the move as an erosion of Florida’s once-heralded minimum-staffing requirement for nursing homes enacted in 2001.
"This can potentially endanger lives, kill jobs and hurt our economy. Without adequate hands-on care, nursing home residents run the risk of getting pressure sores, falling down or suffering from malnutrition," said Cloreta Morgan, a CNA at Unity Health and Rehab Center in Miami and member of 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East.

Simon Wickham-Smith (born Rustington, East Sussex, 2 February 1968) is a British musician, translator, academic and sometime astrologer. He first came to the attention of the experimental music underground with the release of Lake, a collaboration with Richard Youngs issued under the moniker R!!!S!!!. He and Youngs would go on to make many more albums including Ceaucescu, Pulse Of The Rooster and Metallic Sonatas for labels such as Forced Exposure, Majora and VHF. He has also released a handful of solo albums, including Love & Lamentation. He is an occasional member of the Helsinki Computer Orchestra, an indication of his move towards computer-based music during the late '90s and early part of this decade. A new collaboration with Richard Youngs was released in 2006, the product of a five-year plan in which the duo recorded just 10 minutes of music each year. The album was titled 5 Years.
In 2006, with Pekka Kumpulainen, Wickham-Smith began the Inari Festival of Experimental Music (iFEM) in northern Finland. This small scale musical festival is thought to be the world's most northerly music festival.
In addition to his musical activities, Wickham-Smith is a member of the Association of Professional Astrologers and, since 1998 has been researching the astrology of transgender and intersex people. He intends to publish a book on this subject.
In the early 1990s, while living in Davis, California, Wickham-Smith began studying Tibetan and Mongolian as a hobby. Towards the end of that decade, he decided to concentrate on Mongolian literature, and although without an academic degree in this field embarked upon a translation into English of the complete poetry of Danzanravjaa, the fifth Noyon Khutughtu of the Gobi (1803–1856), which was published in 2006. In 2005 he spent several months in Leipzig, Germany at the department of Central Asian Studies to publish a book about Tibetan folk Tales with the help of students. He has since published translations of many works of contemporary Mongolian literature, including Golden Hill (Altan Ovoo) by Mend-Ooyo Gombojav and The River Flows Gently (Gol Us Namuuhan Ursana) by O Dashbalbar.
In addition to these translations, Wickham-Smith is the international director of two Mongolian cultural organisations, the Mongolian Academy of Poetry and Culture and the Danzanravjaa Foundation, and a co-director of the Orchuulga Foundation, an organisation dedicated to the translation of Mongolian literature and the Center for Central Asian Literatures in Translation. He received his PhD from the University of Washington in Seattle (dissertation topic: "The Interrelationship of Humans with their Environment in G.Mend-Ooyo's 'Altan Ovoo'", supervised by Professor Ilse Cirtautas).
He was also for some years a Tibetan Buddhist monk and has extensively researched the life and work of Tshangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama (1683-1706/46).
In 2008, he was one of eight recipients of the PEN Translation Fund Grant from PEN American Center for his translation of the work of O Dashbalbar, and was recognised as a Leading Cultural Worker (Soyolin Terguuni Ajiltan) by the Government of Mongolia for his translation work.

Children's LiteratureThe author introduces us to the members of his family and their various occupations, including a baker, wood carver, potter, doctor, and lawyer. The most interesting one of all is his grandfather, whose understanding of plants helps cure illnesses in his African village in eastern Nigeria. The author cautions the reader that many plants look similar but some can be lethal and therefore they should not experiment with tasting them. The clear full-color photographs bring the countryside, the people, and the culture to life. The text is short, engaging, and informative. Together they make you want to keep turning the page and discovering more. An afterword provides more information about grandfather's plants, the importance of traditional folk medicine, and its impact on scientific studies today. This is a marvelous book for Father's Day, a study on Nigeria, looking at family life, and also the study of plants. Simple enough for reluctant readers, engaging for everyone. 2000 (orig. 1998), Frances Lincoln, Ages 8 to 12.
