Consumer confidence is typically our "first look" at the state of the economy. While most government aggregated data come out with a two-month lag, or more, consumer confidence hits with just a one month lag. Studies have shown that consumer confidence is a good predictor of consumer spending numbers. Basically, people surveyed seem to be good at accurately reading their own economic situation, and those surveyed accurately reflect the broader economy. When consumer confidence drops to such deep unexpected levels--today’s were the worst in 27 years--then it is a flashing red-light about the economy.
There wasn’t anything good about today’s numbers. Every part of the survey was awful. On jobs, the optimistic folks who say jobs are plentiful fell to 3.6 percent from 4.4 percent. The pessimistic people who said jobs are hard to get increased to 47.7 percent from 46.5 percent. The gauge of expectations for the next six-months fell to 63.8, from 77.3 the prior month. The share of people who believe their incomes will increase over the next six months fell to 9.5 from 11 percent. The share of those expecting more jobs fell to 12.4 percent from 15.8 percent.
The message: the economy sucks.
The recovery we were supposed to have.
You’ll read a lot about how the consumer confidence numbers are a lagging indicator. Indeed, they are a lagging indicator when measured against the stock market. The real time data conveyed by the stock market is often a better indicator than any survey or government data. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to the consumer confidence number, especially since stocks have declined for most of this year.
Lets be clear here. The story-book recovery was dependent on a recovery of the consumer and a decline in the saving rate. If consumers lost some of their apprehension about future income prospects and future employment, they might begin to spend more on both retail goods and to purchase homes again. Anticipating this return of the consumer, businesses would increase capital spending and inventory.
Just after Hugo Chavez devalued the Venezuelan currency by 20%, he declared that companies weren’t allowed to raise their prices. Yet this would be an economic impossibility for any business. No business is sustainable if its profit margins are negative.
As a result of this reality, it appears food retailers were caught in the mix trying to raise prices, and taken over.
Albuquerque Express: Government inspectors in Venezuela have closed many shops this week after the owners were accused of trying to manipulate last week’s currency devaluation.
A group of supermarkets and other businesses across Venezuela have quickly been taken over by the tax inspectors for allegedly speculating and changing the price of products.
Superstores belonging to the Exito supermarket chain were the first to be acquired by the government.
Given the Venezuelan government’s track record for running companies, expect food shortages ahead. Really. Just look at the energy industry for cues. Oil-rich Venezuela has been forced to impose rolling black outs on itself.
By devaluing its currency while simultaneously preventing commensurate price increases for food, Venezuela has created huge disincentives for production. While Venezuela’s energy shortages are pretty sad already, food shortages would be plain scary. Venezuela continues to read like an Ayn Rand novel.
Shown below is a retail proxy, the Retail HLDRs Exchange Traded Fund (RTH). It’s outperformed the S&P500 on a three month basis. Yet Best Buy’s (BBY) warning today, that revenue will be driven by lower-ticket items in the fourth quarter, could mean that the pre-Christmas retail rally shown below is toast.
Note how Best Buy dropped a nasty 7% on just these decent earnings. A lot of holiday cheer is already priced-in.
In a sign that the new normal in consumer spending continues unabated, upper-income Americans’ self-reported average daily spending in stores, restaurants, gas stations, and online fell 14% in November, reverting to its relatively tight ($107 to $121) pre-October 2009 average monthly range. Middle- and lower-income consumer discretionary spending increased by 7% last month but remained in its tight 2009 average monthly range of $52 to $61. Still, consumer spending by both income groups continues to trail year-ago levels by 20%, even as those comparables have gotten easier to match — possibly dashing hopes that upscale retailers and big-ticket-item sales will do better this year.

Spending By Income Level
Spending vs. Year Ago
The hope was that the surge on Wall Street and the seeming stabilization of housing values had encouraged some upper-income consumers to abandon the 2009 spending new normal. November’s results dashed these hopes, as upper-income consumers joined their middle- and lower-income counterparts in spending 20% less than they had during the financial crisis days of 2008 and returning to the relatively tight 2009 daily spending range for this group prior to October.
Spending New Normal
The year-over-year differences have declined somewhat during recent months, but much of this closure in the 2008-2009 spending gap is a result of the easier spending comparables from last year’s financial crisis.
On a national level, the spending new normal suggests slower economic growth than otherwise might be expected in the years ahead.
While the spending "new normal" may not be good for the larger economy in the short-term, it may be seen as a strong positive for individual consumer households. Consumers, like their business and banking counterparts, would be well-served to de-leverage by spending less, saving more, reducing their use of credit, and thereby strengthening their personal balance sheets. While this may not provide the immediate-term returns to the economy of the over-leveraging of recent years, a financially stronger U.S. consumer implies only good things for the longer-term
If local media reports are accurate, shoppers have turned out in huge numbers across the country for Black Friday.
We did a survey of local news sites to gather the latest Black Frdiay news. And it looks very good for retailers.
Cincinnati, Ohio: "A long line of shoppers looking for the best priced toys for Christmas waited outside a Western Hills Toys R’ Us store on Glenway Avenue, since late Thursday night to be among the first in line. After the doors opened at 12 a.m., there were some reports that Cincinnati police had to be called to bring order to a disorderly line of shoppers. Some of them said an argument between several groups of shoppers got out of hand and forced the police to called for help…At the new Wal-Mart superstore in Fairfax on Red Bank Road, over a thousand people came early Friday morning, to be in the right line to get some of the doorbuster sales the chain was offering…Many retailers warn that they have severely cut back on what they have ordered."
Weston, Wisconsin: "The line leading to Target in Weston stretched at least three blocks as people got ready for Black Friday shopping Friday."
Framingham, Massachusetts: "Dondrae May, a manager at Best Buy’s Framingham, Mass., store, said shoppers started lining up at 4 p.m. Thursday for the 5 a.m. opening for the limited early morning specials like the $299 32-inch Dynex flat-panel TV.
He noted that crowds were larger than last year and that shoppers were filling their basket with more items than a year ago, when they were shellshocked following the ballooning of the financial meltdown. The biggest draws were laptops, TVs and GPS systems, he said."
Aurora, Illinois: "Black Friday shoppers got an early start this year, causing a 2-mile traffic back-up near Chicago Premium Outlets in Aurora…Starting about 11 p.m. Thursday, cars began lining up to get into the mall, according to Illinois State Police…The mall opened at midnight, and the heavy traffic remained for several hours, State Police said."
What was initially said to be a coordinated attack killing 9 and wounding 27, involving up to three gunmen has since been attributed to a lone, 18-year-old German-born male student with both German and Iranian citizenship, identified moments ago as David Ali Sonboly. As authorities try to piece together the motive behind the latest mass killing, the third one in Europe in the past 9 days, and one which targeted mostly other young people, the emerging picture is that of a mentally disturbed young man with an obssession for killing sprees, and who had undergone psychiatric treatment.

The Dow just scored 7 straight all-time highs; are there more on the way, or is the air getting too thin?
When the major U.S. stock averages broke out to new highs earlier this month, the key consideration became would the breakout fail or would the new highs stick? Well, 10 days later the breakout gets high marks for follow through. This is particularly so in the case of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). As many averages have spent the past several days digesting recent gains, the DJIA has continued its ascent. In the process, the index has recorded 7 straight all-time highs.

The Operation Arsenal, code name: "Meksyk II" (Polish: Akcja pod Arsenałem) was the first major operation by the Szare Szeregi (Gray Ranks) Polish Underground formation during the Nazi occupation of Poland. It took place on March 26, 1943 in Warsaw. Its name was coined after the Warsaw Arsenal, in front of which the action took place. The plan was to free the troop leader Jan Bytnar "Rudy", who was arrested together with his father by the Gestapo. The operation was executed by 28 scouts led by Warsaw Standard Commander Stanisław Broniewski "Orsza". The initiator and the commander of the "Attack Group" was Tadeusz Zawadzki "Zośka".
The successfully conducted operation led to the release of Jan Bytnar and 24 other prisoners, including another Storm Group troop leader, Henryk Ostrowski "Henryk", and 6 women, in an attack on the prison van that was taking the inmates from Pawiak Prison to Gestapo Headquarters at Szucha Avenue. Bytnar himself died four days later on account of injuries sustained due to German torture. Both of his "interrogators" were assassinated by Szare Szeregi within two months.

Feels like just yesterday the people in charge of putting together the Super Bowl Halftime Show couldn’t buy a Hip-Hop act as the culture was boycotting the annual entertainment segment of the big game due to the NFL league blackballing Colin Kaepernick.
But times have changed and with Jay-Z having a say in things these days, the 2022 SB Half-Time Show won’t just be Hip-Hop based, but it’ll be boasting some of the most iconic names in the game as Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar. To hype up this year’s Halftime Show, OG director F. Gary Gray put together a new cinematic commercial spot dubbed The Call featuring the aforementioned artists and best believe it got us older heads hype as hell. Starting off with Eminem in his lab standing across his Slim Shady persona, the spot showcases each artist in their element from Snoop strolling the streets of LA in a lowrider to Dr. Dre walking through the beach as the water turns into piano keys that being to play the beat to “Still D.R.E.” With each artist getting a phone call in their segment, one by one, Eminem, Snoop, Mary, Kendrick and Dr. Dre make their way to Los Angeles (only Em and Mary had to fly) to link up and plot how they’re going to go about their business at Super Bowl 56.
The spot is pretty damn dope so we can only imagine the hits that these legendary artists will be belting out for 12 minutes come February 13.
Check out the F. Gary Gray directed The Call below and let us know if you’re as excited as we are about this year’s Halftime Show.

Antipsychotics in AD Patients: The CATIE-AD Study
Abstract & Commentary
By Norman R. Relkin, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Clinical Neurology and Neuroscience, New York Presbyterian Hospital, Cornell Campus. Dr. Relkin is on the speaker's bureau for Pfizer, Eisai, and Athena Diagnostics, and does research for Pfizer and Merck.
This article originally appeared in the February issue of Neurology Alert. It was edited by Matthew E. Fink, MD, and peer reviewed by M. Flint Beal, MD. Dr. Fink is Vice Chairman, Professor of Critical Care Neurology, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and Dr. Beal is Professor and Chairman, Department of Neurology, Cornell University Medical College. Drs. Fink and Beal report no financial relationships relevant to this field of study.
Synopsis: Because of adverse effects, special care should be used when prescribing the atypical antipsychotic drugs for patients with dementia.
Source: Schneider LS, et al. Effectiveness of atypical antipsychotic drugs in patients with Alzheimer's disease. N Engl J Med. 2006;355:1525-1538.
Agitation and aggression are among the most dangerous and disruptive symptoms encountered in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hallucinations and delusions can be extremely disturbing to patients and care providers alike. Psychotic symptoms are often treated with medications, such as quetiapine (Seroquel®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®) and risperidone (Risperdal®). However, these agents were not specifically tested or approved in the context of psychosis in Alzheimer's disease. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study called CATIE-AD (Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness — Alzheimer's Disease) examined the use of current-generation antipsychotics to determine whether these treatments offered real benefits relative to placebo effects in AD patients.
A total of 421 AD patients with an average MMSE score of 15 participated at 42 sites. All subjects had symptoms of psychosis, agitation and/or aggression at time of enrollment. Subjects were assigned either to placebo or to one of 3 antipsychotics at mean doses of 5.5 mg/d (olanzapine), 1 mg/d (risperidone), or 56.5 mg/day (quetiapine). Schneider and colleagues acknowledged that the dose of quetiapine used in this study may have been less than optimal.
The CATIE-AD study used an unusual "adaptive design" that was praised in an accompanying editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine as an exemplary method for evaluating the effectiveness of prescription medications. Participating physicians were not told which antipsychotic agent each patient would receive, but were given the opportunity to change or discontinue the medication at any time. The primary outcome measure was the time until the treating physician made a change in the antipsychotic medication for any reason. The rationale for this design was that physicians most often change medications, owing to lack of efficacy or side effects, and that change was thought to provide less biased indication of real-world clinical utility than measures such as psychosis rating scales. The study also used the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC), a physician-based assessment commonly used in AD pharmaceutical trials, as a 12-week secondary outcome measure.
The primary outcome (time to discontinuation for any reason) was not significantly different for placebo than any of the 3 antipsychotics. The time to discontinuation for perceived lack of efficacy was greater for risperidone and olanzapine than for placebo, whereas quetiapine was comparable to placebo. No significant difference relative to placebo was reported on the CGIC for any of the treatment arms. Based on CGIC scores, 21% of placebo-treated patients were judged better at 12 weeks, compared to 32% on olanzapine, 26% on quetiapine and 29% on risperidone.
The overall rate of serious adverse events was lowest in patients receiving risperidone, but this difference did not reach statistical significance. Extrapyramidal side effects, including parkinsonism, were highest in patients receiving olanzapine (12%) or risperidone (12%), and only occurred in 1-2% of patients on quetiapine or placebo. Sedation was most problematic for patients on olanzapine (24%) and quetiapine (22%), but was also seen in patients on risperidone (15%), as well as a small percentage of those on placebo (5%). Cognitive disturbances (6%) and increased psychosis (7%) were most problematic in the olanzapine treated group, whereas increased agitation was reported in those receiving quetiapine (12%) or placebo (10%).
Schneider et al's conclusion was that the adverse effects of these 3 antipsychotic medications "offset" the small treatment advantages they offered to patients with psychosis and AD. They did not conclude that antipsychotics were ineffective, nor did they recommend against their use in AD patients. They acknowledged that, in light of the significant potential for adverse events, it may be prudent to use these antipsychotics in patients who demonstrate good tolerance and observable benefits.
Psychotic behaviors pose a real threat to the well-being of patients with AD and to those around them. Treatment-unresponsive agitation and aggression are among the reasons frequently cited for institutionalization of AD patients. The use of antipsychotic medications, as well as other psychotropic medications and non-pharmacologic interventions can be life-saving in some cases and can make the difference between a good outcome and a worst-case scenario.
While several criticisms can be made about design of the CATIE study, there is one major limitation that warrants special mention. The appropriate care of an agitated, psychotic AD patient is not simply a matter of writing a prescription for an antipsychotic drug. It is an interactive process that requires multiple types of parallel interventions, including identification and treatment of exacerbating physical precipitants, adjustments in psychotropic and non-psychotropic medications, attempted normalization of the sleep-wake cycle and nutrition, maintenance of a supportive environment, and appropriate caregiver education. Ideally, these interventions are made by physicians and allied health professionals, with expertise in this area, working as a team, with the cooperation and support of the patient's caregivers and family. However innovative the design of CATIE-AD may have been, it did not control for these critical co-factors.
Currently available antipsychotic medications may not be the drug of choice in every case, but they can play an extremely important role in the management of some AD patients with psychosis. The CATIE-AD study has been misinterpreted in the lay press as proof that novel antipsychotics lack efficacy and are unacceptably toxic in dementia patients. A closer look at the trial's design and actual outcomes contradicts these claims. The study's authors have publicly stated that these agents should still be tried in AD patients with psychosis and do work well in some cases. This study should not be accepted as justification for denying these medications to dementia patients with psychosis. CATIE-AD reminds us that all antipsychotics are potentially dangerous medications and that even the newest generation of these agents must be used judiciously.

Botanical Name: Boscia senegalensis
Common names:Aizen Fruit, Aizen (Mauritania), Mukheit (Arabic), Hanza (Hausa), Bere (Bambara), Ngigili (Fulani), Mandiarha (Berber), Anza (Zarma) and Taedent (Tamasheq). The fruits are also known as Dilo (Hausa), Bokkhelli (Arabic), Gigile (Fulani) and Kanduwi (Tamasheq).
Habitat : The plant originated from West Africa. Still a traditional food plant in Africa, this little-known fruit has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare.
Aizen Fruit is a perennial woody plant species of the genus Boscia in the caper family, Capparaceae. This plant is classified as a dicot. Native to the Sahel region in Africa, this evergreen shrub can grow anywhere from 2 to 4 m (6 ft 7 in to 13 ft 1 in) in height under favourable conditions. The leaves of the plant are small and leathery, reaching 12 cm × 4 cm (4.7 in × 1.6 in). B. senegalensis produces fruits, clustered in small bunches, in the form of yellow spherical berries, up to 1.5 cm (0.59 in) in diameter. These fruits contain 1–4 seeds, which are a greenish hue when mature.
Boscia senegalensis is recognized as a potential solution to hunger and a buffer against famine in the Sahel region due to the variety of useful products it yields. It produces products for consumption, household needs, and medicinal and agricultural uses.
Fruits are ready for human consumption at the beginning of the rainy season, when most crops are just being planted, and there is little other food available. Fruits can be consumed raw and cooked. Raw fruits initially contain a sweet pulp that then dries out to a sugary solid, difficult to separate from seed. Fruits are often cooked prior to consumption. Juice can also be extracted and boiled down into a butter-like consistency that can be mixed with millet and milk to make cakes. In Sudan, the fruit is fermented into a beer.
The seeds of B. senegalensis are also important sources of nutrition, especially during times of famine. To gain access to the seeds, fruits are dried in the sun, pounded to remove the outer seed coat and soaked in water for several days, changing the water every day. The seed soaking process, also known as debittering, is essential to remove bitter and potentially toxic components. Seeds are usually cooked prior to consumption. Cooked seeds are texturally similar to a chickpea and can be used as a cereal substitute in stews, soups and porridges. Additionally, seeds can be re-dried and stored for later use or ground into a flour that can be used to make porridge. Roasted seeds can also serve as a substitute for coffee.Young roots can be ground and boiled down into a thick, sweet porridge.
Modern uses of B. senegalensis seeds are being developed in Niger Republic. They include couscous, cakes, cookies, bread, hummus, canned and popped seeds. These products from natural, wild B. senegalensis were recognised with the innovation award at an international food fair in Niamey, Niger, 2012.
Leaf extracts contain carbohydrate hydrolase enzymes that are useful for the production of cereal-based flour and for reducing the bulk of cereal porridges. Due to their proven biocidal activities, leaves are also added to granaries to protect cereals against pathogens. Leaves have many medicinal properties, notably anti-parasitic, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Leaves, although not pleasant to taste, can be used as emergency forage for animals.
Fruits are a significant source of carbohydrates, as they contain 66.8% carbohydrates.
The seeds are sufficiently nutritious, although they do lack some essential nutrients, notably lysine and threonine. The seeds have significant levels of protein (25% of dry matter) and carbohydrates (60%). In these regards, seeds outperform local staple cereals such as sorghum and millet. Additionally, seeds are rich in zinc, iron, methionine, tryptophan, B-vitamins and linoleic acid (essential fatty acid). Seeds contain 3.6 times the World Health Organization (WHO) ideal level of tryptophan.
Leaves have high antioxidant capacity (nearly 1.5 times that of spinach) and are high in calcium, potassium, manganese and iron. The bioavailability of these compounds, however, is not very well known
Wood can be used for home construction as well as for cooking fuel in times of dire need.
Boscia senegalensis contains natural coagulants that can be used to clarify water sources. Components of the plant (bark, twigs, leaves, fruits) can be added to a bucket of murky water, and the natural coagulants will cause clay and other particulates to compact and sink the bottom, allowing clear water to be obtained from the top.

It’s best to get your Volvo checked out by an experienced professional if you notice any of these signs so that you can put your mind at ease and get back on the road safely.
Common Reasons for Steering Issues
The most common reasons Volvo car owners report a steering issue include malfunctioning power steering components, low levels of power steering fluid, or loose/worn suspension parts. Malfunctioning power steering components can cause Volvo vehicles to operate with increased vibration that leads to poor handling and general unresponsiveness when driving. Low levels of power steering fluid may result in hard turning and difficulty maneuvering through tight turns, while the wearing down of suspension parts can create delayed reactions to the driver’s inputs into the vehicle’s controls.
Also, this problem can be caused by old or contaminated power steering fluid, faulty motors or pumps, and even electrical issues with the car’s onboard computer. Lastly, wheel misalignment can cause Volvo owners to have issues with their steering if left unfixed.
All Volvo owners would be wise to regularly inspect the functionality of their car’s system components in order to help guard against potential problems.
Proactive Prevention of Problems
Volvo cars are well known for their unparalleled quality, but they can suffer from steering problems down the line if not properly maintained. The good news is that many Volvo steering issues can be prevented with some easy maintenance routine checks.
Volvo owners should routinely check their power steering fluid levels to ensure the level is consistent and frequently inspect their suspension components including bushings and shocks to look for unwanted wear or signs of corrosion. Additionally, Volvo drivers should periodically inspect their tie rods and ball joints to make sure they are still in working condition as these components can lead to Volvo steering difficulties if ignored. With this simple routine maintenance process in place, Volvo drivers can be confident knowing that any potential steering issues will be caught before trouble arises.

People have often asked me what it is like to be shattered! It is like you are looking down at a broken mirror in many pieces, some are large pieces some are medium and others are small. You cannot really get a good perspective in the image below because each piece is cut off from the main part of the original mirror! I cannot say anything but it boggles a young person's mind and also an adult which is what I was when I became co-conscious of my alters. I just started realizing they were a part of my presence in a vague sort of way.
It is sort of like being in a proverbial fog with not too much clarity! Along with that there is so much negative voices and some alters rearing their heads in pain. This was just the beginning of many days and nights of turmoil in each of their own minds. No one knew who would be in charge at any given moment. We were on our own rollercoaster ride that never seemed to stop. I went from nights where there was no sleep to seeing knives in my hand stabbing at my stomach. We never wanted to die we just wanted the pain to go away. I do not miss those days and years!

MSN Money – 5 tales from debt hell – Manage Debt
Five individual readers of MSN Money Central are singled out in this article for asking the tough questions. They’ve made mistakes, and the author gives them some of the sympathy they deserve. The stories “from debt hell” include co-signing a loan with a relative, overusing credit card balance transfer offers, not considering the value of education loans, choosing the wrong credit counselor and filing for bankruptcy. Of course, none of these are inherently mistakes, but sometimes something goes wrong. Liz, the author, provides some suggestions on how to survive the worst in these situations.

LONDON - British police on Tuesday arrested a 19-year-old man in England on suspicions that he was linked to cyber attacks on the CIA, Britain's anti-organized crime agency and Sony Corp.
As part of international efforts to catch the culprits behind a string of high-profile hacks, London's Metropolitan Police, working with the US FBI, said they arrested the teenager in the town of Wickford, close to London.
The raid was linked to recent attacks on the websites of the US Central Intelligence Agency and the British police Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA), which targets organized crime in Britain and overseas, police said.
The suspect's computer was being examined for data linked to Sony, whose websites have also been attacked.

I just switched from State Farm to Nationwide and State Farm was reasonable, though I wasn't necessarily happy with the coverage. It was only $79 a month for full coverage, but they didn't have accident forgiveness, if I got into an accident, I would have to pay 20% of the rental fee for a car, and the lowest deductible for collision they will go is $250. I switched to Nationwide a week ago and the quote was for $70 a month, (every little bit counts) but the big difference is the coverage. I got accident forgiveness included, also they pay 100% of car rental fee, and I only have $100 deductible for collision. However they do have $0 deductible but 100 I can do. This is for a 2011 Ford Focus which Focuses are generally cheap to insure.
Been with them for a year, online it says you can change your due date once for FREE. Yet every time I try and change it, they want to charge me. Then they tell me I have 15 days grace period which is a damn lie. I pay the night before the so called lapse is going to take place, and yet they still lapse me. EVERY SINGLE MONTH!!! I try to talk to a supervisor but the little employees make up all kinds of excuses not to let you talk to supervisors. This is the most irresponsible and unprofessional insurance agency I have dealt with in my 53 years of driving. Thank goodness, I havent had to have them do a claim for me that would probably never get taken care of. I highly recommend avoiding The General Car Insurance. I will be moving to Geico or Progressive.
Bodily Injury (BI) Liability provides important protection if you injure someone and/or if an injury in an accident results in death while operating your car. This form of auto insurance is important and something you want to keep at a consistent level, even as your car gets older and declines in value. In the event of a serious accident, you want enough insurance (higher limits) to protect assets that may become subject to a lawsuit.
So I canceled my insurance on 9/14/2018, I paid $491 I canceled the same day after I made the payment because I found cheaper insurance. Within the same day of my cancelation, the General said they couldn’t give me my money back. When I called, the agent was very rude and said I wouldn’t get my money back and that I owed $28 to them still. They said that it was my balance after cancelation. What should I do and who should I contact to get my $491 back?

I have insurance with this company and they have served me well.

Multiple award winning hitmaker cum label boss, Michael Collins Ajereh better known as Don Jazzy has ignited the passion of music lovers on the much awaited reunion between him and his former label mate of the defunct Mo’Hits Crew, D’banj.
Speaking during the official unveiling of the ‘Access Mavin Concert’ billed to hold in December 2015, Don Jazzy addressed the issue of his highly anticipated reunion with D’banj.
According to Don Jazzy, a reunion between himself and D’banj is possible if only they both agree to it. “It is possible. We will do it when we both settle down and agree we want to do it. He is busy doing his own thing and I am also busy with Korede, Reekado and Dija.”
“We live in the same vicinity. By the time we sit down and plan it, we would create something. We would probably work again. As long as there is life, there is nothing impossible,” he added.
In another thrilling twist, Don Jazzy has announced the signing of two new artistes to the Mavin Records team. The label boss who opted to keep mum on the identities of the artistes revealed they will be unveiled at the proper time. In his words, “I have two rappers signed, but the time is not right to unveil them. When the time is right, I will.”
It will be recalled that Don Jazzy and other members of the music label announced plans to stage its first ever concert tagged ‘Access Mavin Concert’ at a press briefing yesterday, November 11, 2015. The concert is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, December 23rd, 2015.

Jeanne Loring, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute, made the remark in a recent piece on "Nature Reports: Stem Cells."
Loring wrote about the history behind the challenge to the patents and her motivation. The piece also carries remarks from WARF.
Here are a couple of excerpts:
"We were surprised when WARF responded (to the challenge) with a press release saying, correctly, that I and the other scientists also have patents. This isn't relevant to the validity of the WARF patents, and seems to be an attempt to undermine our credibility. Our patents, like (Jamie) Thomson's, are assigned to companies or to our universities, and we have little control over how they are enforced. We are not challenging Thomson; we're challenging the patent owner, WARF."Loring continued:
"I do not get paid for our work on this challenge. I did not set out to become an expert in patent law, and it is still very much outside my comfort zone. I'd rather be spending my time learning more about the molecular interactions that make human ES cells pluripotent. But the spirit of scientific inquiry often requires us to venture beyond our areas of expertise, and I think that scientists have an obligation not only to perform research but to make sure that our research can benefit the society that supports it."Sphere: Related Content


A lot of things have gone wrong for the Cleveland Browns throughout the course of the years, especially when it comes to franchise quarterbacks.
Johnny Manziel was one of the many so-called saviors who wound up hurting the fan base’s heart.
His erratic behavior and struggles with mental health got in the way of what was supposed to be a stellar career.
However, there was just so much more going on behind closed doors than the fans ever knew.
In his latest tell-all interview with Shannon Sharpe for his “Club Shay Shay” podcast, the former Texas A&M star revealed how he was bullied in the Browns’ QB room during his rookie season.
Beginning at the 2:30 mark in the Twitter clip below, he talked about Brian Hoyer calling him out and mocking him when he asked questions, up to the point where he didn’t think it was a safe space anymore, and he started holding back.
“My quarterback room wasn’t a home because of Brian Hoyer. He saw how much of an upper hand he had over me, and he didn’t hold back.”
“If you would’ve put me in a landscape that was my backyard… I think it would’ve been an absolute disaster… thankfully, it didn’t happen even though at the time it was what I wanted.” pic.twitter.com/tXMxZ4a4Dl
— Club Shay Shay (@ClubShayShay) February 22, 2024
Manziel acknowledged that he didn’t know how to prepare to be an elite quarterback because that’s not the kind of stuff he did in college, adding that his mind wasn’t wired that way and didn’t know many of the details that came with film-watching.
Johnny Football was never able to establish himself in the league, and it didn’t have anything to do with his talent.
The experience of being an NFL franchise player was a little too overwhelming for him, leading to struggles with depression and substance abuse.
Now, he knows he did some things wrong and is holding himself accountable for that, but his story also shows how lonely he got and how other people could’ve and should’ve been there for him as well.NEXT: Joe Flacco Makes Honest Admission On Having Different Roles In The NFL


The reallocated water wouldn't flow to those cities for months or even longer, but deals are already in the works that would allow communities to lease water back from Indian tribes, providing a long-term source for tens of thousands of new homes.
The measure would also reshape one of the Valley's critical water supplies, the share of the Colorado River set aside for central Arizona. It would enlarge the pool of water available for tribes. But by writing in law the amount of water that can be used for tribal claims, the settlement protects cities and farmers from potentially larger claims in the future.
President Bush is expected to sign the Arizona Water Settlement Act before year's end, ending nearly two decades of negotiations among federal, state, local and tribal leaders.
On paper, the Gila River Indian Community and the Tohono O'odham Nation appear to be the biggest winners based on the more than 200,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water that would be moved permanently to the tribal side of the water ledger.
But Valley leaders are generally satisfied with the results and see few downsides as they begin to make plans for water windfalls that, in one case, would triple a city's share of Colorado River water.
"I think the Arizona settlement is a comprehensive and historic act for Arizona," said David Mansfield, Scottsdale's general manager for water resources. "For Scottsdale, it's especially important because it helps predict future water supplies."
The deal would reshuffle the water that flows through the Central Arizona Project, the 336-mile canal that delivers water from the Colorado to Phoenix and Tucson. It would take water that had not had an assigned user or water that had been banked in underground aquifers and shift it to the tribes and to about 20 cities and water companies whose CAP allocations would grow.
It also would set aside about 90,000 acre-feet to be reallocated in the coming years, mostly to help cities continue to deal with growth.
An acre-foot supplies one or two average households for one year.
Here's a sampling of the plans cities were examining Thursday:
Its base CAP allocation would grow by 8,000 acre-feet per year. It also is working on a lease with the Gila River Indian Community for 15,000 additional acre-feet.
That 100-year lease wouldn't be completed until 2007 or 2008 and is expected to cost the city about $1,500 per acre-foot for the right to use the water, said Tom Buschatzke, the city's water adviser.
Overall, that would be enough to provide for at least 60,000 new residents, mostly in north Peoria.
Under the proposed tribal lease, Peoria would probably make a one-time payment of $1,500 to $1,800 for each acre-foot of water, Hill said.
The up-front expense would be heavy, he acknowledged, but ensuring that much water for 100 years would be worth it.
Over 100 years, the city would be getting water at $15 to $18 an acre-foot per year, compared with its current cost of $107 per acre-foot per year from the CAP.
Iwanski said he's not concerned about tribes having too much control over water because the ability to plan for water resources is such a boon for Goodyear.
"The benefits far outweigh any concerns that we might have," he said.
Mesa, for example, would deliver 29,400 acre-feet of reclaimed water to the reservation for agricultural uses.
In exchange, the Indian community would give the city 23,530 acre-feet of CAP water to use for its potable water system.
This exchange would be a better financial solution for the city than recharging the water into aquifers and pumping it back out of wells for treatment, said Kathryn Sorensen, Mesa's water resources coordinator.
"I'm assuming if we get more CAP water the costs will go up," he said.
Cave Creek Town Manager Usama Abujbarah said an increase in rates may not be a bad thing for Arizona.
"Maybe this will finally spur on more conservation in the state," Abujbarah said.

With China’s rapid economic growth and the continuous trend of opening market to foreign countries, various financial institutions have gradually “going out”. On the one hand, financial institutions expand overseas services in an increasing rate, establishing more and more branches overseas. On the other hand, they have gradually established branches in domestic cities. Overall they have basically achieved service interconnection and resources sharing. But as the amount of data increases, data access speed is also facing challenges. It is noteworthy that because of the real-time requirement of the financial data, most of which is dynamic data, the traditional CDN method can’t be applied.
Meanwhile, most financial data are confidentiality of data，but the use of industry software, especially in the App, there are a lot of open access on a public way, with low security, inevitably exist many safe troubles.

Yes it’s big and beautiful, but Seth’s Canadianized Citizen Kane is also the profound and moving account of a television host whose public persona becomes his death mask. Life, the prenatal prologue suggests, may be like a comic strip. After all, what is a man but a bundle of stories that he’s made up to go along with a handful of images? None of us understands the meaning of our dreams. Every life is full of blind spots we would like to keep behind a black panel. Memory makes a mockery of our past. Make no mistake: this is one of the fullest, most remarkable achievements of Canadian literature in the twenty-first century.

Several provinces in Morocco were rocked by a 4.1-magnitude earthquake in a startling turn of events on Wednesday, October 18, leaving residents anxious and on edge.
This recent seismic activity comes just over a month after a deadly earthquake struck the Al Haouz region on September 8, causing widespread devastation and loss of life.
The latest earthquake sent tremors rippling throughout the surrounding regions as panicked citizens rushed out of their homes, seeking safety in open areas as buildings swayed ominously.
Many people took to social media to share their sentiments following the earthquake.
Netizens in Marrakech, Amizmiz, and Taroudant said they felt the quake.
Seismic monitoring services online said that the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.1, hitting the Casablanca province.
Fortunately, initial reports suggest no casualties resulted from this latest earthquake. However, there have been reports of some structural damage to buildings and infrastructure, leaving many communities in need of immediate support and reconstruction efforts.
These consecutive earthquakes have rattled the nation, prompting concerns about the ongoing seismic threats faced by Morocco. Experts from the country’s geological agencies have been closely monitoring the situation, working tirelessly to understand the underlying causes and patterns of these earthquakes.
In the wake of these recent events, authorities are doubling down on their efforts to educate the public about earthquake safety measures and reinforcing building codes to enhance structural resilience.
The Moroccan government is actively coordinating relief efforts and providing aid to affected communities, ensuring that no one is left without the necessary resources to rebuild their lives.

New York City’s Most Expensive Neighborhoods
New York City’s notoriously volatile real estate market is cooling — the high end included — according to a new report from PropertyShark.
The report showed that in the first quarter of 2023, the median sale price fell in 28 of the city’s 50 most-expensive neighborhoods from a year earlier, while the number of sales dropped or was flat in 46 neighborhoods. Only four of the 50 neighborhoods had a median sale price of $2 million or more, compared with eight in the first quarter of 2022.
In the most expensive area, Manhattan’s Hudson Yards, the median sale price rose about 6 percent year-over-year, to $5.729 million; but in TriBeCa, the next most expensive, it fell 6 percent, to $3.5 million. Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn — a former industrial area now sprouting riverfront high-rises — was the third-most expensive neighborhood. But its $2.6 million median sale price was level from a year earlier, so it was price reductions in other neighborhoods that improved its ranking.
In the first Bronx neighborhood to appear among the top 50, Fieldston, the median sale price soared 149 percent year-over-year, to $840,000. The change reflected the fact that in 2023, 54 percent of sales there were of single-family homes (generally more expensive), up from just 7 percent a year earlier. Eight Queens neighborhoods were among the 50 most expensive, while Brooklyn claimed 22 spots and Manhattan 24. (Staten Island was not included in the study because up-to-date data was unavailable, according to PropertyShark.)
The rest of us may be wondering if there are bargains to be found outside of these 50 pricey areas. It’s relative: The city’s overall median sale price dropped $75,000 year-over-year to $695,000, but that’s still well over the national median of $400,698.

We are super thrilled that you are here. We have clearly more blogs on coffee pods, coffee and compostable Nespresso capsules. Other interesting materials on compostable coffee capsules are e.g. from leading media publishers, or Moving Beans. Alternatively check out our pertinent blog on Nespresso pods.
During the ins 2015 there has actually been a modification towards mechanization and also homogenization of farming, which uses pesticides, ingredients, herbicides, fabricated fertilizers and mass-production techniques. All this is clearly affecting the human race’s health and wellness, and new illness are spreading rapidly amongst people and also animals (bird’s flu being the most current one). The World Health Organization produces reports to reveal how the use of chemicals and other items on food, coupled with the manufacturing procedures involved, are in fact a threat for our health and wellness.
It is a clever choice to expand your own organic vegetable yard if you have area for a couple of pots or even a small item of land. Today I’m providing you with seven reasons for doing this:
1. You will certainly have no ingredients in your veggies. Research by healthy food associations has actually shown that additives in our food can create heart diseases, weakening of bones, migraines and hyperactivity. There will be no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers used. These chemical items are related to get crops all the time no matter plagues or weather, and affect the top quality of the veggies.
2. Your vegetables will certainly not be genetically changed (GM). Antibiotics, hormonal agents and drugs are utilized on veggies to grow extra and also bigger ones. Among the effects of this practice are veggies which look all the are usually unsavory and also exact same. We wind up consuming the hormones that have actually been made use of on the veggies, with the potential dangers for our wellness.
3. Consuming your very own natural veggies will be much more healthy for you. They will certainly not include any one of the products or chemicals called above, and also they will be much more natural than any ones you would locate at the grocery store. Because you will certainly after that know that nothing has actually been contributed to your veggies, your health and wellness will not be at risk.
4. Your very own all-natural vegetables will be much more yummy. Using chemicals, artificial fertilizers, hormones and antibiotics make veggies grow unnaturally and also take the taste much from them. With all-natural veggies, your cooking will certainly be boosted as their flavour will certainly disclose completely.
5. Natural farming manages to the atmosphere. You will not harm the dirt or the air with the chemical aspects Because you will certainly not utilize chemicals or various other likewise destructive products on your veggies.
6. When you grow your very own natural vegetables you are contributing to your own self-sustainability as well as the sustainability of the globe. Little areas have been founded where members exchange products that they grow naturally, hence adding to create a friendly and better location for everybody. In the end, taking in natural products just suggests that we do not add anything else to them than they would naturally have. As you can think, additives, fertilizers, pesticides or hormonal agents are not components of naturally expanded food. To far better take care of your health and wellness, grown your very own organic vegetables -as well as a couple of pots is all you need.
Hormonal agents, prescription anti-biotics as well as drugs are utilized on vegetables to grow a lot more and larger ones. We wind up consuming the hormones that have actually been made use of on the vegetables, with the potential dangers for our health and wellness.
Consuming your very own organic veggies will certainly be much more healthy for you. Because you will not use chemicals or various other similarly damaging products on your veggies, you will certainly not hurt the dirt or the air with the chemical elements.
When you grow your very own natural veggies you are contributing to your own self-sustainability and also the sustainability of the earth.
One of the repercussions of this practice are veggies which look all the are usually tasteless and same. We wind up consuming the hormones that have been used on the veggies, with the potential hazards for our health.

I will be doing 13 separate posts summarising each chapter, but in the meantime:
Chapter 1 Fundamental change in Education
This sets the stage for the rest of the book. Chapter 1 looks at the key changes that are forcing teachers and instructors to reconsider their goals and methods of teaching, In particular it identifies the key knowledge and skills that students need in a digital age, and how technology is changing everything, including the context in which we teach.
Chapters 2-5: Epistemology and teaching methods
These chapters address the more theoretical and methodological aspects of teaching and learning in a digital age. Chapter 2 covers different views on the nature of knowledge and how these understandings of knowledge influence theories of learning and methods of teaching. Chapters 3 and 4 analyse the strengths and weaknesses of different methods of teaching ranging from solely campus-based through blended to fully online. Chapter 5 looks at the strengths and weaknesses of MOOCs. These chapters form a theoretical foundation for what follows.
Chapters 6-8: Media and technology
The focus in these three chapters is on how to choose and use different media and technologies in teaching, with a particular focus on the unique pedagogical characteristics of different media. Chapter 8 ends with a set of criteria and a model for making decisions about different media and technologies for teaching.
Chapters 9-10: Modes of delivery and open education
Chapter 9 addresses the question of how to determine what mode of delivery should be used: campus-based; blended or fully online. Chapter 10 examines the potentially disruptive implications of recent developments in open content, open publishing, open data and open research. This chapter above all is a messenger of the radical changes to come to education.
Chapter 11 and Appendix 1: Ensuring quality in teaching in a digital age
These take two different but complementary approaches to the issue of ensuring high quality teaching in a digital age. Chapter 11 suggests nine pragmatic steps for designing and delivering quality teaching in a highly digital teaching context. Appendix 1 looks at all the necessary components of a high quality learning environment.
Chapter 12: Institutional support
This chapter very briefly examines the policy and operational support needed from schools, colleges and universities to ensure relevant and high quality teaching in a digital age.
There are ten ‘what if’ scenarios scattered throughout the book. These are semi-fictional, semi-, because in almost every case, the scenario is based on an actual example. However, I have sometimes combined one or more cases, or extended or broadened the original case. The purpose of the scenarios is to stimulate imagination and thinking about both our current ‘blocks’ or barriers to change, and the real and exciting possibilities of teaching in the future.
Each chapter ends with a set of key ‘takeaways’ from the chapter, and a complete set of references. There is also a comprehensive bibliography that collects together all the references from the chapters. Most chapter sections end with an activity.
There are also several appendices providing more detailed information to support each chapter, and some sample answers to the questions posed in the activities.
