Striker David Goodwillie returns to League One Clyde on loan after controversial move to Raith Rovers; Scottish MP John Mason considering quitting as one of 400 owners of the club
Wednesday 2 March 2022 16:50, UK
David Goodwillie has rejoined Scottish League One club Clyde on loan until the end of the season, sparking widespread criticism from inside and outside the club.
It follows the former Scotland international's controversial move to Raith Rovers, who were also widely criticised for signing the striker.
Goodwillie was ruled to be a rapist in a civil case in 2017, six years after being initially charged.
No criminal proceedings were instructed against the 32-year-old but he was ordered to pay £100,000 in damages by a judge after it was ruled he raped a woman in a flat in West Lothian in 2011.
In a statement, Clyde added: "This enables David to return to first-team activities including training and playing and, in doing so, continue his career in football at the current time."
But the move has resulted in disapproval from even inside Clyde, with Scottish MP John Mason - one of 400 owners at the fan-owned club - now considering his position on the board after Goodwillie's return to the club was confirmed.
This is Goodwillie's second stint at Clyde since he was ruled to be a rapist five years ago, with Mason boycotting matches for a brief stint in 2017 before returning to the terraces later that year.
Now, the Scottish Member of Parliament is considering his position within the club's structure, even though he claims the majority of Clyde fans are happy to see Goodwillie back at the club.
"I was incredibly disappointed, to say the very least, and frankly yesterday I was quite angry about the whole thing," Mason told Sky Sports News on Wednesday.
"I wasn't entirely surprised as the fans were singing for his return but to do the same thing twice is somehow worse. I didn't agree with it first time round but to make the same mistake again is really inexcusable I think.
"I would reconsider whether I continue as one of the owners. I will not be going back to a game this season, but I am considering what else I might do. But I do accept we are a fan-owned club and the majority of fans at Raith and ourselves are happy to have Goodwillie."
Rovers described Goodwillie as 'part of the club' after his January arrival but following a backlash from club sponsor Val McDermid, fans, Rape Crisis Scotland and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Raith said he would not play for the club.
Two directors resigned from the Scottish Championship club while the women's team severed ties with the club and renamed themselves as McDermid Ladies.
Following an apology from the club's chairman, manager John McGlynn admitted the club made an "enormous mistake" in thinking only about football when signing Goodwillie.
In a statement following Goodwillie's exit, Rovers said: "The club can confirm that we have agreed terms with Clyde FC for a loan arrangement for David Goodwillie until the end of the current season.
"We would like to thank Clyde FC for their cooperation."

Across the Great Barrier is the second of the Frontier Magic books and, as the title suggests, the most intersting parts take place west of the Mammoth/Mississippi River. The same goes for The Far West, the third and final volume. Where the St. Lawrence Seaway exists in our world to connect the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico through the Great Lakes, the Mississippi, and other rivers and channels, Wrede’s world has the Great Barrier along those waterways. This is a powerful spell created by two double seventh sons, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, to keep the dangerous wildlife of the West out. In this world, there are no Native Americans in America/Colombia, just lots of animals of varying levels of danger.
Essentially, as humans move further westward, they are gradually clearing the land of larger and more dangerous beasts. But on the west side of the river, settlements are built behind palisades and guides are necessary for even a short trip. This is a huge contrast to the civilized East where everything is older, more established, and far safer. The Far West, as people call it, is the land out beyond the furthest settlements, which very little is known about. Lewis and Clark’s expedition spent the cold months on what is now known as Wintering Island, but they disappeared the following spring and no one knows what happened to them afterwards. We’re quite sure they died, considering it was fifty years prior to these books.
This is where the adventure part of Frontier Magic really shines. Not only are we going out to the places where things are far less defined, but we’re finding new things that have never been seen before and learning how to deal with them. In one of Eff’s dreams, she describes how she sees her birthplace on the East Coast and how it seems grey, washed out, and faded in comparison with the frontier she’s grown up on.
These books are the hero’s journey done right. We see Eff grow and change, spotlighting key parts of her life from the time she was five years old up through her early twenties. She’s a quiet person, who’d much rather observe and keep her mouth shut than speak out, as she’s never been one for attention. A lot of that is due to the generally negative interest she drew as a thirteenth child out east, and it’s simply become a part of who she is. All in all, Frontier Magic is an excellent set of young adult books. Not that you need to be young to enjoy them for what they are.
Speaking of being young, I started rereading a series that I’ve known for quite a long time, starting in the late nineties. This is the world of Irene Radford’s Dragon Nimbus, but I’m not actually reading that set. I started on the prequel to the prequel. Radford initially wrote the three books of the Dragon Nimbus, then the three books of the Dragon Nimbus History, followed by the fourth volume of the Dragon Nimbus, and then she went back and wrote The Stargods. Oh, and most recently she returned to this world and wrote Children of the Dragon Nimbus. But today we’re focused on the first set chronologically.
The first book of The Stargods trilogy is The Hidden Dragon. And before you even open the book, the cover (of the original mass market paperback, not the omnibus) shows a dragon sitting on a spaceship. In case you were wondering what kind of book this would be. I’d show a picture, but frankly, I don’t like the illustration that much. It is a scene right out of the book though, which I do appreciate.
Backing up a bit, we meet the O’Hara brothers. These may be the days of the Terran Galactic Empire and humans may have been traveling between the stars for over five hundred years, but the O’Haras are still Irish Catholics, complete with red hair and invoking saints’ names at the drop of a hat. The three men, Matthew Kameron O’Hara, Martin Konner O’Hara, and Mark Kimmer O’Hara, are on the run from the Imperial Military Police as smugglers. Better known as Loki, Konner, and Kim, the three flee wildly into the unknown, and stumble onto a strange planet. There they find dragons, and far more. Not just about the planet and its past, but also about themselves. The start of another hero’s journey, if you will.
Readers familiar with the later parts of the timeline, as I was, will recognize the foundations for those other books as laid out here. It’s probably one of the things I like most about reading prequels – seeing how the world I know and love came to be. Of course, that picture isn’t nearly complete after The Hidden Dragon: it is, after all, just the first book in a trilogy. And the IMPs are still out there, waiting to catch the infamous O’Hara brothers…

We are happy that Columna Edicions has acquired Catalan Language rights of ‘DAS LÄCHELN DER FRAUEN’ (The Smile of Women), by Nicolas Barreau. To be published in 2012.
The novel is successfully published in Germany by Thiele Verlag (hardcover) and Piper Verlag (paperback)
“The story that I would like to tell begins with a smile. It ends in a small
restaurant in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, exactly there where the heart of
Paris beats ...” (from: The Smile of the Women)
More than 25.000 copies have already been sold in Germany. Righst have been previously sold sold to: St. Martin’s Press (English World Rights), Espasa (Spanish), Feltrinelli (Italian), Arena (Dutch) and The Enthusiast (Bulgarian).
A romantic story of confusion between art and cuisine. A light-hearted novel about the wonderful delirium of love. A story told with Parisian charm – too wonderful not to be true.
There are no coincidences! Aurélie Bredin, who has taken over her father’s restaurant 'Le Temps des Cerises' after his death, is sure of this truth. On a fateful Friday in November when Aurélie is feeling more depressed than ever before, she discovers a novel in a bookshop entitled 'The Smile of the Women'. Intrigued, she comes across a sentence that refers to her own small restaurant.
After reading the entire story, Aurélie no longer wants to die. Instead, she wishes more than anything to meet the author of the novel because she is convinced that, without even realizing it, he has saved her life. She would like to show her appreciation and invite him to her small, charming restaurant that apparently he is already familiar with. However, her wish proves to be a difficult, almost impossible, endeavour. All attempts to contact the shy English author through his French publishers are blocked by the company’s gruff editor-in-chief, André, who only with great reluctance forwards her enthusiastic letter.
Aurélie refuses to give up, however, and when one day a letter from the reclusive author actually lands in her post box, the encounter that eventually takes place is completely different from what she had ever imagined …
Nicolas Barreau (born 1980, Paris) studied romanistic languages and literature at the Sorbonne. He worked in a bookshop on the Rive Gauche in Paris but is far from an inexperienced bookworm. With his two previous and successful novels published by Thiele Publishers The Woman in my Life (2007) and You’ll Find Me at the End of the World, he has gained an enthusiastic audience.
This deal for Catalan language has been made by SalmaiaLit on behalf of Thiele Verlag.

Gigabit Wi-Fi, 802.11ac, is officially here, but what does that really mean? Here’s my list of the five things you need to know before you invest in this new wireless technology.
1) 802.11ac is not going to give you a Gigabit of throughput
True, 802.11ac access points working with 802.11ac devices will give you faster data transmission feeds than 802.11n. The Wi-Fi Alliance claims that Wi-Fi Certified 802.11ac can deliver data rates up to more than double those of a typical 802.11n network. Practically speaking the Alliance claims that “this means a network can support simultaneously streaming multiple HD-quality videos to multiple devices.”

Thousands of people were evacuated at France’s Orly Airport on Saturday after a man seized a soldier’s weapon, prompting police to fatally shoot him. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the man attacked a patrol of three soldiers, wrestling one of them to the ground in a bid to take her weapon. The two other soldiers promptly opened fire. Authorities have determined that the attacker was also involved in an earlier incident near the airport in which he fired birdshot at police officers during a traffic stop and hijacked a civilian’s car. It was not immediately clear what the man’s motive was, but Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux said he was known by both police and the country’s intelligence service. Anti-terrorism investigators have taken over the probe into the attack, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office. The interior ministry reassured on Twitter that “the events this morning at the airport caused no injuries.” Authorities took no chances with the latest incident and sent explosives experts to the airport to make sure the attacker didn’t plant any bombs in the vicinity. By about noon local time, authorities had completed their searches of the airport and allowed passengers who had been blocked on board arriving flights during the panic to disembark.

Heading into a recession, it’s hard not to have a “prepare for the worst” mindset—especially with layoff announcements from tech giants and media companies (Robinhood and Snapchat have each laid off over 20% of their staff). Peloton fired 2,800 people at the top of 2022, the first of three major waves of layoffs at the company now totaling over 4,000 people laid off just this year. Shopify let go of 1,000+ people in July. And according to a PwC Pulse Survey, 50% of employers are reducing overall headcount.
Perhaps news like this justifies preparing for the worst. But people don’t talk about the opportunities a recession can bring.
When there is a downturn in the market, medium-sized businesses and large public companies get hurt the most, which gives small businesses and new businesses unique advantages. Medium-sized businesses don’t have the cash flow to support themselves, and even though large public companies have cash reserves, recessions force massive layoffs to keep stakeholders happy. Small businesses, on the other hand, have more flexibility and can find ways to adapt to volatility, which is why it’s crucial that small and new business owners remain optimistic during a recession.
RECESSIONS REVEAL SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND
I started Jukin Media from my apartment in 2009, during the last Great Recession. My first employee worked from a folding table and chair in my living room for minimum wage. A decade later, Jukin was sold for $100M+ after expanding to nearly 300 employees and four offices globally.
Jukin wasn’t an anomaly. Uber, Airbnb, Netflix, Slack—all of these companies were built during the last recession. If you own a small business, or if you’re contemplating starting a new business, here’s why you should remain optimistic heading into a recession.
SMALL BUSINESSES DON’T HAVE THE SAME OVERHEAD ISSUES THAT MEDIUM
COMPANIES OR LARGE CORPORATIONS HAVE TO DEAL WITH
Capabilities in technology combined with shifts in workplace norms make it easier than ever to start or run a business from a computer or smartphone. Generally speaking, the costs and time it takes to start a small business are minimal—especially compared to years past.
Small businesses typically spend less on salaries and wages, as well as insurance, compared to medium and large businesses. Larger companies with multimillion dollar risks have much more at stake. Small businesses are also less likely to spend on travel, utilities, tools and integrations, and other additional costs that medium and large companies are required to account for considering size.
Another key, often overlooked factor is the demographics of people at small businesses versus medium-sized companies and large corporations.
At Jukin, we had a very young workforce, especially in our early days. It was more cost-effective, of course, but perhaps more important was that younger employees were hungry to prove themselves. We hired go-getters who wanted to punch above their weight class—people who weren’t afraid to fail. And we genuinely cared about the goals and aspirations of our talent, especially talent that came from corporations that made them feel like a cog in the machine.
As a small or new business, realize the advantages you have against large corporations heading into a recession. Keep your eyes open for talent laid off by larger companies and take advantage of the fact that medium and large companies will likely stall in growth while the recession persists.
DURING A RECESSION, SMALL BUSINESSES ARE STILL ABLE TO SCALE QUICKLY
Since larger organizations have more overhead costs to account for, it’s much more difficult to scale than it is for a small business with fewer restrictions during a recession.
Startups don’t have the same red tape as corporations when it comes to hiring, and if large companies announce massive layoffs, people are more willing to work for less. Plus, talented people who are laid off by corporate downsizing often feel attracted to smaller companies, which means small businesses are more likely to find talented employees at a cheaper rate during an economic downturn. Small businesses often emphasize a “family” or “we’re in this together” mentality that many corporations lack. During these times, people seek places where they feel valued, and small businesses are just that.
Plus, consumer behavior changes significantly during a recession—often to the benefit of small businesses. People are eager to support small businesses during hard times, especially when major corporations with high-earning executives announce massive layoffs.
Thinking on a percentage basis, a small company scaling 300% is much different than a medium-sized or large company scaling at the same rate.
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE NIMBLE AND ADAPTABLE, GIVING THEM A COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE OVER MEDIUM AND LARGE COMPANIES
Because there’s less overhead and less red tape around operations, small businesses can pivot, test new models, and create hybrid roles for existing or incoming employees. Startup founders play the role of sales leaders or marketing execs, or find another way to contribute to business operations. Small businesses have more flexibility to move employees across teams as needed, while the process for corporations to do the same is much more involved.
At Jukin, we saw everyone as a utility player. Our young workforce was eager to gain experience in as many aspects of the business as possible, and leadership was committed to playing whatever role necessary to keep growing. I remember acting as our finance team, still handling invoicing for clients years into Jukin, just as I had done when it was myself and one other employee in my living room. We stayed lean and scrappy, and really didn’t grow out of that phase until the economy rebounded years later.
Another huge advantage small businesses have during a downturn is adaptability. Aside from internal structure, small businesses can be flexible not only with their prices, but with terms and conditions for their clients, too. Corporations and medium-sized businesses likely have too many stakeholders involved in customer acquisition to be adjustable on terms or pricing. Small businesses are able to provide additional services, change terms, and jump through various hoops to earn business and build rapport with customers.
For us, we knew it was important to get customers in the door. We believed in our product and knew that a good first impression would undoubtedly create a long-term relationship. We customized pricing and terms, and even added services to land clients—something corporations don’t have the luxury of doing.
Medium-sized businesses and corporations have too much standardization. Large companies have margins to worry about, revenue targets to hit, and stakeholders to keep happy. Startups, on the other hand, are just trying to prove their model. What matters at startups is growth, and sustained growth, which is a lot easier to do without the restrictions larger companies have.
SMALL BUSINESSES CAN DEMAND A HIGH MULTIPLE DURING A RECESSION
High-growth startups can be extremely attractive to bigger companies during a recession. Small businesses need to be prepared for potential acquisition.
You might think that, during a downturn, large companies are more inclined to hold off on acquisitions. However, the opposite is true. During a recession, a large corporation is less likely to practice normal spending habits. For instance, during “normal” times, a $100M company might look to acquire a company bringing in $20M to $30M in revenue. But during a recession, smaller, high-growth companies are more attractive.
I remember our early days at Jukin—still very much at the tail end of the Great Recession—receiving a lot of interest from medium-sized companies. We were a high-growth asset and, from their perspective, we were worth the investment considering our track record and affordability. We were much more attractive to larger companies because we were small, which, during “normal” times, would not have been the case. Normally, companies doing sub-$10M in revenue would be entirely overlooked. But because bigger companies need to think frugally during a downturn, we garnered a lot of attention that we otherwise might not have.
Small businesses should be prepared to demand a high multiple during an economic downturn. If you’re small but high-growth, and can prove to be an asset to medium and large companies, take advantage by being ready for major acquisition opportunities.
BE FORWARD-LOOKING AND OPTIMISTIC
Of course, there are disadvantages of being a small business owner or starting a new business during a downturn. Consumers are less likely to spend money and the cost to run a business might outweigh business coming in the door. But these disadvantages still don’t take away from the incredible, unique opportunities for growth only small businesses experience.
Stay optimistic heading into a recession. Take advantage of being able to have flexible product offerings, customizable terms, and a hybrid team structure that medium and large companies don’t. Be on the lookout for great talent laid off by corporate entities, and prepare for unique acquisition or partnership opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be on the table.
As stressful as an economic downturn can be, small businesses need to stay positive, seek opportunity, and take advantage of the freedoms they have compared to larger companies.

Introduction: Dermatology is primarily an outpatientbased speciality in Australia. To our knowledge, no studies have attempted to characterise the type and frequency of skin conditions presenting to an adult Emergency Department (ED) in Australia.
Objectives: To provide demographic and clinical data on the types of dermatological problems that present to a tertiary ED at St Vincent ’ s Hospital Melbourne over a 3 year retrospective period.
Methods: All ED visits between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2011 were extracted from the hospital database. Dermatological presentations were identiﬁ ed by searching for keywords in ‘Presenting Complaint’ and ‘Triage Notes’ ﬁ elds and searching by ICD10 diagnosis codes. The epidemiological and patient demographics of these patients were analysed.
Results: Out of 124 081 total presentations to ED, 4817 patients had a primarily dermatological complaint (3.89%). Commonest presenting conditions were cellulitis (36.14%), allergy with skin involvement including urticaria and angioedema (19.5%), boils/abscesses/furuncles/carbuncles/pilonidal sinuses (11.13%), eczema (5.69%), varicella zoster infections (3.34%), non-speciﬁ c skin infections (2.8%). 936 (19.43%) patients required inpatient admission. Commonest conditions requiring admission were cellulitis (56.09%), boils/abscesses/furuncles/carbuncles/pilonidal sinuses (19.02%), non-speciﬁ c skin infections (3.42%), psoriasis (3.10%), eczema (2.88%), impetigo (2.35%), nonspeciﬁ c rashes (1.6%), varicella zoster infections (1.39%).
Conclusion: This preliminary data shows that skin conditions represent a small proportion of all dermatological presentations to ED. High prevalence conditions such as cellulitis, abscesses and urticaria should be the focus of emergency medicine dermatological curricula in order to improve the recognition and initial management of the most common skin complaints.

A Saudi man who had a fourth wife decided to divorce the first three in return for an expensive car gifted to him by his new rich spouse.
The first three wives had already felt worried when their 40-year-old husband got a new wealthy wife and decided to give up their low-paid jobs to please him.
“But his new wife gave him an expensive car as a present and asked him to get rid of the first three wives…so he divorced them,” the online Arabic language daily Kabar said in a report from the eastern province of Ihsa on Wednesday.
“He divorced them all at the same time at the request of his new wife, who works as a doctor….but she denied that she asked him to divorce them as a condition for getting the car…she claimed she knew of the divorce only after it happened.”

Bill That Would Ban Sale of Flavored Tobacco Products Advances
A bill that would ban the sale of flavored tobacco products, except menthol, has advanced to the House Finance Committee.
House Bill 2347 was presented in a joint committee meeting with the Consumer Protection and Commerce and Judiciary on Wednesday. It passed both committees with no amendments and is set to go before the House Finance Committee for approval.
Several people testified during the CPC Committee. Organizations provided testimony expressing support and that the bill be modified to include the banning of menthol flavor.
“We don’t want to create loop holes and push kids toward a new addiction,” said Donald B. Weisman, American Heart Association’s Hawai‘i Government Relations and Mission: Lifeline Director.
There were several submitted testimonies individuals that supported or opposed the measure.
Lynne Matusow supported the measure as an individual. In her submitted testimony to lawmakers, she asked that they add menthol back into the bill.
“These vaping products, especially menthol and the other flavors, are a menace to public health,” Matusow stated. “Every day there are people smoking/vaping billowing clouds on the street corners, endangering those of us who value our right to breathe and have healthy lungs. It is we the people who matter, not the vaping/smoking companies. Please save our children and the rest of us.”
Dillon Rellez also submitted written testimony against the bill.
“I oppose this bill because e-cigarettes are proven to help people get off of bad habits and live a more healthy life,” Rellez wrote. “I quit smoking because of fruity e-cigarettes flavors and I don’t feel I should be penalized for taking charge for health in my life.”
Businesses also submitted testimony in opposition of the measure. Irie Hawai‘i Stores has several smoke shops on the Big Island. They provided testimony against the bill stating the measure infringes on the freedom of adults, adding vaping/smoking is an adult activity.
Additionally, Irie Hawai‘i, states the bill would take the livelihood away from hundreds of people in Hawaii that are employed by vape shops.
“The vape shops in Hawai‘i are mom and pop stores not owned by big tobacco,” the testimony states.
Irie Hawai‘i suggests the state punish underage people for using vape items. “Do not punish adults and businesses for the actions of teens.”
Irie Hawai‘i’s testimony also included clarification of vaping injuries reported in 2019. Research showed respiratory illnesses found across the nation among youth were linked to illegal THC vape cartridges containing Vitamins E Acetate.
Rep. Nicole Lowen, member of the Judiciary Committee, said she would support the banning of menthols for e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes.
The bill impacts all businesses selling flavored liquid e-cigarettes. Lowen, who represents, Kailua-Kona, Holualoa, Kalaoa and Honokohau, thinks the ban is necessary to protect children.
“When companies are making cotton candy flavored e-cigarettes, to say you aren’t targeting juveniles is disingenuous.”
Lowen hopes the bill passes. While it failed last year, Lowen thinks enough things have happened in the past year with new research on its harmful affects to pass it.
The Hawai‘i Department of Education didn’t provide any public testimony for this bill. However, they are supportive of House Bill 2457, which covers penalties for teens underage found in possession of electronic smoking devices (ESD) and the creation of a safe harbor program that allows a person under 21 to dispose of an electronic smoking device without penalty.
“The Department has a zero-tolerance policy for tobacco products and electronic smoking devices on all our campuses,” DOE officials stated. “The Department has not submitted testimony related to HB2347 as the bill pertains to the sales of flavored tobacco products, which does not directly impact existing policies.”
There are other bills related to e-liquids and ESDs being reviewed by legislators. A measure has also been introduced to change the legal smoking age from 21 to 25.

Believe that Bioplasma (12 cell salts) keeps me in good condition, and I am 77 years old. Take them 2-3 times, every day, and feel good most of the time.
Love this stuff
Reviewer1489795님께서 May 03, 2014 에 작성하셨습니다.
These cell salts are found in every cell in our bodies. This is great for overcoming long-standing issues. In one of the earlier reviews the idea of taking 25 of these 3 times per day was mentioned and I think is an effective treatment for chronic issues. It is a little early for me to tell whether we will have the same long-term success with the bioplasma but the initial results are encouraging.
Reviewer1177787님께서 Mar 05, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다.
I have been desperatee for anything to help with chronic fatigue, so a tried the bioplasma. The results i can only judge as hardly noticable. I think this formula is subtle but effective as our bodies need the celated minerals. Very Safe

Today’s generation of newlyweds are throwing tradition out the window and embracing modern ways in every aspect of their marriages. As men and women take on new roles in marriages, new couples are exploring what works uniquely best for them in terms of managing their household and personal finances.
Today’s newlyweds both have thriving careers and paychecks, and these new couples are readily willing to kick “bread-winner” to the curb and introduce the notion that both spouses are taking part in earning that household income.
While every couple is unique, one extremely modern and somewhat controversial trend with newlyweds is the introduction of “play funds” in a marriage. A play fund is a set amount of money that each partner takes from their own paycheck and deposits into their own individual, separate account. These funds can then be used towards whatever either partner wishes…no questions asked from the other partner.
Following are the top ways a play fund, when used correctly, can reduce stress in a marriage, especially for new couples adjusting to a new, more compromising way of living.
- Set down the ground rules. The rules of a play fund can be different for every couple, but ensure you are both comfortable with the rules you lay down. Discuss appropriate amounts to fund each individual account and narrow down terms of purchases (for example, any item costing more than $500 needs to be discussed pre-purchase).
- Consider specific expenses and discuss what purchases could lead to heated arguments if not previously approved by one another. For example, he’s more than welcome to use his play funds on a guys’ night out, however he will need to talk with you before switching out the dining table for that pool table he bought from Craig’s list.
- Adjust ground rules as you go. Be prepared to discuss topics like promotions and where to designate the extra funds, or planning for a baby and what to reduce from the play accounts to designate to a college savings fund instead.
- Be realistic and communicate with one another. If either of you ever feels uncomfortable with purchases or funds coming and going, talk about it immediately and in a non-confrontational tone. Remember why you initiated play funds in the beginning – to avoid arguments.
While controversial, play funds can greatly reduce stress for first time couples. The notion of going from complete independence to needing to discuss every matter with your spouse can be extremely daunting for new couples.
Play funds provide a way to hold on to your independence without judgement and eliminates arguments over financial budgeting. Those cute heels from DSW may not be accounted for in the budget, but they are factored into your play account. He may never wear that aero-dynamic biker’s helmet, but the purchase won’t put a damper on your finely tuned budget as it came out of his play account.
Be honest and open with one another and experiement with play funds to keep your marriage healthy, happy, and finanically sound.

Insulin in pill form to be taken orally to avoid daily injections taken by diabetes patients to control blood sugar will be launched in the market by Biocon Ltd soon.
Insulin pill, currently being developed by India’s biggest biotechnology company Biocon, plans to begin commercial production within 18 months, stated Biocon’s managing director Kiran Mazumdar- Shaw, in an interview given to a leading newswire.
Insulin pill, IN-105, in which is in the final phase 3 stage of patient studies. All new drugs require three phases of human studies including study in real-time patients to prove the safety and efficacy of the drug to get marketing approval from regulatory agencies.
Insulin pill IN-105, if comes out successful in patient studies, will have huge potential with a certainty to become a multibillion dollar blockbuster.
“This is a product that we see to be a game-changer. It has huge potential and certainly can be a multibillion dollar blockbuster,” stated Mazumdar-Shaw, adding that she is “confident” of the outcome despite mounting skepticism about whether orally formulated insulin hormone would really do the job.
Insulin pills which couls actually save millions of diabetics around the world from the wexing daily pricks have been one of the hot pursuits of drugmakers across the globe.
Efforts to produce needle-free delivery of insulin has come to a naught, so far. Exubera, an inhaled insulin product from world’s top drug maker Pfizer Inc was withdrawn in 2007 after it failed in the market.
Biocon presented the phase IIa trial data of its insulin pill IN 105 at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes meeting in Rome in Sept last year, suggesting that for the first time, oral insulin has shown good dose linearity – the effect of the drug is proportional to the units consumed.
Insulin pill IN-105 studies conducted in India showed a near-perfect linear dose response. IN-105 has also shown a significant two-hour post-prandial glucose drop indicating that the insulin pill has potential in demonstrating efficacy in longer-term trials.
Insulin pill IN105 is formulated as a tablet using a proprietary polymer technology, acquired by Biocon from US firm Nobex Corp. Nobex, whose IP assets were later bought by Biocon when it filed for bankruptcy in 2005, technology platform allows modification in the insulin structure so as to enable it suitable for oral delivery.
Insulin pill IN-105 also ensures better patient compliance, because it is not an injection. Further, injectable insulin has a tendency to get deposited under the skin leading to weight gain, oral insulin, gets around this dangerous problem through being either weight-neutral, or weight loss.
Insulin pill IN-105 is rapid acting and so it can cut down the problem of hypoglycemia, a common complication with injectable insulin.
Except from Biocon, no other insulin in oral form is currently in final stages of commercialization. Oralyn, an insulin spray to be delivered under tongue (buccal) developed by the Toronto, Canada-based Generex Biotechnology Corp is probably the only other product being marketed in some parts of the world including India by Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai.
Biocon expects to report the results of phase-3 studies in the first quarter of next year.
Global insulin market is expected to grow 15 percent annually through 2010, predicts New York-based MarketResearch.com.
Nearly 246 million people are suffering from diabetes worldwide, according to the International Diabetes Federation. India has the highest number of diabetes patients in the world- nearly 41 million sufferers, followed by China and the U.S.
Biocon sells injectable insulin in India. Biocon targets a 50% share of the domestic insulin market to from the current 15% in five years, Mazumdar-Shaw said.
Earlier this month, Biocon Ltd entered into pact with Amylin to jointly develop, commercialize and manufacture a novel peptide therapeutic for the potential treatment of diabetes.
Both Biocon and Amylin will share the development costs of the prospective diabetes molecule. Amylin will provide expertise in peptide hormone development, particularly in the area of phybrid technology, as well as metabolic disease therapeutics, as per the exclusive agreement reached between the companies.
In July, Biocon tied up with another US-based Mylan to sell monoclonals, biogenerics in US, Europe. As per the pact, Biocon will collaborate with the US-based global generic maker Mylan Inc on developing, manufacturing and commercialization of multiple generic biologic compounds for the global marketplace.
Mylan will have commercialization rights of Biocon’s products in US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and EU.

Gift #2: RJ Barrett finds his consistency
RJ Barrett finding a way to consistently play like he is right now is one of my biggest Knicksmas wishes this year. Barrett played poorly to begin all four of his NBA seasons before finding a groove and playing at an All-Star level in the second half of last year.
I said that RJ Barrett deserved his extension when he received it, and for a while, he was doing his best to prove me wrong. But once again, in mid-December, it appears RJ’s fall slump has come to a close.
This is something that cannot continue, though. It happens every season, which makes me think that RJ either has a mental block coming into the season or his routine is off. It’s not going to go over well with the fans if RJ is getting paid nearly $30 million per year, and he continually starts the season with two awful months of basketball where he looks lost.
When Barrett is good, he’s really, really good — like he looks like he could become a second option on a championship team. He has to stop this for everyone’s own good, especially if he wants to make an All-Star team.
Barrett is 22 years old, and there’s a chance this is still something he’s just yet to outgrow, but he officially starts his second contract next year, and the fall slump is something he will need to leave to the past.

It’s Summer Vacation and time to catch up on some of the shows and movies we have been meaning to see. Life during the school year can be quite busy with both a college professor and a high school student in the house, so it is nice to settle in for an hour or more over dinner and enjoy a movie all together as a family.
Tonight’s showing is Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader . We are big fans of the Narnia books and have enjoyed all the movies, so this was an easy choice to make. Now that we have a large HDTV and a combination BluRay DVD player and SmartTV device, it is incredibly easy to rent movies from Amazon.com and a variety of other sources. This convenience make it easy to chose a movie on the spur of the moment, something that helps insure we actually set aside some time for entertainment in our busy days.
“The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven high fantasy novels by C. S. Lewis. It is considered a classic of children’s literature and is the author’s best-known work, having sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages. Written by Lewis between 1949 and 1954, illustrated by Pauline Baynes and originally published in London between October 1950 and March 1956, The Chronicles of Narnia has been adapted several times, complete or in part, for radio, television, the stage, and film.
Set in the fictional realm of Narnia, a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts, and talking animals, the series narrates the adventures of various children who play central roles in the unfolding history of that world. Except in The Horse and His Boy, the protagonists are all children from the real world, magically transported to Narnia, where they are called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil and restore the throne to its rightful line. The books span the entire history of Narnia, from its creation in The Magician’s Nephew to its eventual destruction in The Last Battle. — Wikipedia.org

The Serbian authorities are investigating the involvement of a Belgrade DJ in war crimes allegedly committed in Bosnia by paramilitaries known as Arkan’s Tigers.
On the request of the Serbian War Crime Prosecutor’s Office, Belgrade police is investigating the role of Srdjan Golubovic, a Belgrade DJ, into war crimes committed in the Bosnian town of Bijeljina in March 1992, Balkan Insight has learned from the prosecution.
It is suspected that Golubovic was a member of the Arkan Tigers, a group of Serbian volunteer fighters lead by the notorious criminal Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan.
Golubovic was arrested in Belgrade at the beginning of September for the possession of illegal arms and drugs.
More than 20 years since the so-called Tigers entered the town of Bijeljina in northeast Bosnia, killing most who came in their way, no member of the unit has faced trial for those war crimes.
In 1999, the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia, ICTY, indicted Arkan for war crimes, but only for the crimes committed in 1995 in the Sanski Most area in northwest Bosnia. However, Arkan died in a mafia shootout in Belgrade in 2000.
That indictment listed 78 names of victims, but only one indictee. The prosecutor who led the investigation, Clint Williamson, claimed they could not identify other members of Arkan’s unit because they had worn masks during the operations.
According to the Hague prosecution, the unit was formed in 1990 as the Serbian Volunteer Guard on the eve of the war in Croatia.
In 1991 they fought in Eastern Slavonia, establishing their headquarters and training centre in the border village of Erdut.
When the war broke out in Bosnia in spring 1992, Arkan’s Tigers fought alongside Bosnian Serb forces in the areas of Zvornik and Bijeljina, in Eastern Bosnia, where, as stated in the ICTY indictment, the Tigers “actively participated in operations in order to secure Serb control over these towns”.
An American photojournalist, Ron Haviv, took some notorious photographs of the Tigers in action in Bijeljina in March 1992. Published in the TIME magazine, they showed masked and uniformed paramilitaries parading over the bodies of the dead civilians they had killed in the streets. Arkan had given Haviv permission to photograph his men.
The Serbian prosecution believes that Srdjan Golubovic could be one of the men in the photos.
According to the ICTY indictment, Arkan’s Tigers were not purely paramilitary as it was discovered that the Unit was financed by Serbia’s state security and two former secret service chiefs, Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic, who were indicted by the ICTY in 2003 and are currently on trial.
Several groups were established by the Serbian secret services “for the purpose of undertaking special military actions” in Croatia and Bosnia,” the indictment said.
“These units included groups, or members of groups, known by the following names: Special Purpose Unit of the Ministry of internal affairs Serbia, Unit for antiterrorist activities, and Unit for Special Operations, JSO, also known as Red Berets or Scorpions, the Serbian Volunteer Guard also known as Arkan’s Men and the elite Serbian Volunteer Guard unit known as Arkan’s Tigers, ” reads the indictment.
For the crimes allegedly committed by Arkan’s Tigers in Bijeljina, Serbia’s prosecutors office investigated in 2010 Borislav Pelevic, former member of Arkan’s unit and currently a member of the Serbian parliament.
However, the investigation was dropped soon after, as the prosecution said there were not enough evidence to prove Pelevic’s role in war crimes committed in Bosnia or Croatia.
Pelevic told the prosecutor that he had been recruited in February 1992, and was sent to Erdut for training until the end of April 1992 and became deputy commander of the Tigers in 1995.
But he denied that anybody from Arkan’s unit was either present where the crimes were committed, or took part in those crimes.

Pirelli announces the solutions for the Phillip Island round; Alex Lowes on his Suzuki in Superbike and Jules Cluzel on his MV Agusta in Supersport are the fastest in the season opener tests
The two days of testing on the Australian track ended today for the eni FIM World Superbike Championship riders who tried the various solutions that the Italian tyre manufacturer brought for this demanding first round of the season. The Superbike and Supersport riders finished two days of testing on the Phillip Island circuit today. Dominating the Superbike class both days was Alex Lowes on his Suzuki GSX-R1000 for team Voltcom Crescent Suzuki, stopping the clock at 1'30.859 in the third testing session for his best time. In Supersport on the other hand the Frenchman astride his MV Agusta, Jules Cluzel, was the best rider on the track, lapping at 1'32.967 in the final session. Giorgio Barbier, Pirelli Moto Sports Activities Director, had this to say at the end of the two days of testing: “By now we all know that Phillip Island puts tyres to a hard test and this is why working together with the teams is just as important as the riders' style and the bike settings, both determining factors. Speaking of which, I would remind everyone that Pirelli recommends keeping the tyres in heat covers at a temperature of 95-100 degrees for an hour and, in any case, no longer than two hours in order to prevent the rubber from possibly losing its properties if subjected to excessive and prolonged heating. As for tyre pressure, it is important not to drop too low in order to obtain proper operating temperature as well. Having clarified this very important point, the weather will certainly also play an important role. The tests were conducted in relatively low temperatures, between 25 and 36 degrees on the tarmac, but Phillip Island has historically gotten us used to much higher temperatures in the past.” In the Superbike class each rider will be able to choose from 5 solutions on the front and 7 on the rear for a total of 72 tyres, 32 on the front and 40 on the rear. As always, in addition to theDIABLO™ Superbike slicks, the riders will be able to count on the intermediate DIABLO™ Wet and DIABLO™ Rain solutions. On the front Pirelli has chosen, in addition to the SC1 and SC2 compound solutions, slicks in the SC1 S1699 development solution, a tyre that made its début at Aragon and which was then the most used last season. Both this last solution and the SC2 were also used in the tests conducted on Monday and today. For the rear Pirelli has confirmed the two development solutions used during the tests: the S1633, the go-to race tyre last year for all the riders, and the new S1687, another SC1 compound solution but with higher mechanical resistance than the standard SC1 from last year. In addition to these there are two new specifically developed solutions: the T1105 and the T1392, two solutions that use a blend similar to that of the S1687 but which differ because of the different structural materials intended to improve tyre performance and limit overheating, especially on the left side of the tread, one of the main problems that the rear tyres face on the Phillip Island circuit. Also, for Superpole on Saturday, in addition to the race tyres all the riders participating in one of the two Superpole sessions will be able to use a qualifying tyre in a supersoft compound that can guarantee maximum performance for a flying lap as they try to put their best times on the board and earn a good spot on the starting grid. In Supersport Pirelli's goal with the solutions brought is the same with the difference that, compared to Superbike, the lap times are longer and therefore the stress on the tyres, in this case grooved and not slicks, is also greater. On the front the riders will have their choice of one of two solutions, the same used in the tests: the standard SC1 and the SC1 S1485 development solution that was used for the first time last year at Misano with reasonable success. For the rear, in addition to the new T1538 development solution already used in the tests, riders will be able to count on yet another new development solution, the T1394,two 190/60 size specifications (instead of the standard 180/60 size). This means also increasing the size of the tyre's contact area with the tarmac and this should help to dissipate the strong thermal stress that the tyres suffer on this track.

However, he underlines repeatedly his belief that the best way forward would involve mandatory labeling for food grown hydroponically or in other new media.
“Consumers who are passionate about healthy soil, which of course is the central point of organic—healthy soil makes healthy plants make healthy people—they should be able to see which products are grown hydroponically versus which were grown in the dirt,” Mesh says. “I think if they’re going to have it, they should label it, recognizing that soil is such a healthy component of organic farming. There’s a core group of dirt-farmers who are very passionate about it and say that we’ve lost our way.”
The USDA has lost an enormous opportunity, he says, to determine who among organics buyers is buying for what reason.
“We could have found out if what hydroponic growers were saying was correct, that what people really care about is the lack of pesticides,” he says. “Consumers’ voices were very mixed. Both sides brought out their own consumer-survey data.
Mesh underlines that he does not advocate for truly hydroponic operations, but he is interested in remaining cautiously open to the possibility that technology might change organic growing in a way that keeps food and people healthy, though always clearly labeled. In a time of droughts across the west, he notes that container operations and greenhouse growers may have a point.
One of the few neutral voices in a very partisan debate, Mesh acknowledges that this is a time of rupture in the organic growing world. He says of the NOSB decision, “It was still a very divided vote—eight to seven. You can’t have more a fractured community than that.”

DAMASCUS: Rawan, a 22-year-old medical student at Damascus University, confided in her aunt about her depression, but was shocked at the response.
“You should be ashamed of yourself,” the aunt replied. “A true believer never gets depressed. Don’t speak of this to anyone or they will call you crazy and no one will marry you or even trust you as a physician.”
Like many other Syrians, Rawan decided to keep her depression to herself rather than have her “faith judged and be labeled insane.”
Since the civil war began in 2011, an estimated 400,000 Syrians have been killed and millions more displaced, but the toll the conflict has taken on the mental health of people remains largely unquantifiable.
Even in the relatively liberal and cosmopolitan confines of Damascus, conservative attitudes toward post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression hold sway. Few Syrians talk openly about how the bloodshed has affected them psychologically.
This has led to experts both inside and outside Syria warning that the country will face a wide range of social problems — from substance addiction to suicide — for years to come as generations of Syrians struggle to live with the consequences of what they have seen.
Unable to ask her family for help, Rawan’s depression left her convinced that her work as a medical student was pointless.
“Why should I go to college and study hard when I know this war isn’t likely to end soon and there will be no future for me here?” she told Arab News.
Last year, Mazen Hedar, president of the Syrian Association of Psychiatry, told a local newspaper there were only 70 mental health specialists in the country. He claimed 4 percent of the people in Syria suffer from “severe mental illnesses,” while 20-40 percent “suffer from moderate illnesses.”
But with even basic health services left in ruins by the war and fighting still taking place in many areas, the real numbers are impossible to know.
Almost everyone has suffered in some form as a result of what the UN human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein described as “the worst man-made disaster since World War II” and an “immense tidal wave of bloodshed and atrocity.”
While Damascus has escaped the worst of the violence and much of the city is now relatively safe, people still feel shocked at the way their country has descended into chaos and are anxious about the future.
Layla, a 26-year-old computer engineer based in the city, told Arab News that her family do not trust Syrian health workers.
“Botched surgeries go unpunished and carelessness goes unnoticed — do you think I would trust a psychologist in a culture that still believes he’s a doctor to the crazy and that those with chronic depression, PTSD or schizophrenia belong in a straitjacket? Sorry, no,” she said.
A study of Syrian refugee children in Turkey during late 2012 and early 2013 found that 74 percent “had experienced the death of somebody they cared strongly about.”
The study, conducted by researchers at Bahcesehir University in Turkey, New York University and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, found 60 percent of children surveyed had symptoms of depression, 45 percent showed signs of PTSD and 65 percent had serious “psychosomatic symptoms.”
Dr. Wael Al-Delaimy of the University of California told Arab News that PTSD can lead to social problems including divorce, unemployment and crime.
He said the level of trauma experienced by people in Damascus could not be compared to the suffering of people elsewhere in the country, where “there is bombing, terrorizing and killing of civilians on a daily basis.”
Al-Delaimy called for Syrian health professionals to adopt a different approach to mental illness, “focusing on prevention and early detection.”
