Yes, you can get sued even if you have little or nothing. Of course, if a judgment is eventually rendered against you, the debt might be dischargeable in bankruptcy.
What happens if you lose a lawsuit and Cannot pay?
If you lose a civil case and are ordered to pay money to the winning side, you become a judgment debtor. The court will not collect the money for your creditor, but if you do not pay voluntarily, the creditor (the person you owe money to) can use different enforcement tools to get you to pay the judgment.
Can you go to jail for owing someone money?
Being in debt can be seriously scary. Whether it’s credit cards, overdrafts, car parking tickets or loans, owing money and not being able to pay it is stressful and anxiety-inducing. According to Debt Support Trust, a debt help charity, you cannot go to prison simply for being in debt. Being in debt is not a crime.
What happens if I ignore a lawsuit?
Although it might be tempting to ignore a summons and complaint, ignoring a lawsuit does not make it go away. And it could result in the court awarding a money judgment against you by default. That can lead to your wages being garnished, your bank accounts attached, or your property being taken!
What can I do if someone owes me money and refuses to pay?
Taking someone to small claims court. Does someone owe you money but won’t pay up? You can take them to a small claims court to regain your cash (and your temper).
Is not paying a loan a crime?
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is responsible for regulating payday lending at the federal level is very clear: “No, you cannot be arrested for defaulting on a payday loan.” A U.S. court can only order jail time for criminal offenses, and failure to repay a debt is a civil offense.
What do you need to prove someone owes you money?
You should first send letters, emails, text messages, or social media messages to the person who owes you money. This is to prove that a debt is owed and overdue. If the other party responded by apologizing or asking for more time, you can use the communication as proof that they know they owe the debt.
Is it illegal to not pay someone back?
Owing Money: Legal Definition You also can’t loan someone money but never tell them you expect to be paid back. In the legal sense, owing money must include: Both sides understand there is a legal duty to pay the money back. A date when the payment, payment plan, or payment installment is payable.
What if someone is not returning my money?
If a person has still not fully returned the money then the lender has to send a letter stating the loan date, the exact amount borrowed and also the repayment terms. If none of the steps works out, then he has to consult a lawyer and file a suit against the person who has not repaid.
How do you prove you weren’t served?
If you haven’t already, go down to the court house and get a copy of the proof of service from the records department. Identify the details of the service (where the services allegedly took place, the description of the person served etc.)
Can you sue someone for falsely suing you?
For libel, your civil lawsuit must prove that the written or printed accusations against you were false and were made in a willfully defamatory manner — that is, with malice and intent. Your civil lawsuit over slander or libel can seek compensation for actual monetary losses caused by the false allegation.
How do you force someone to pay you back?
When asking politely about when the money will be paid back, add a reason or reasons why you need the money back. This will hasten the borrower, giving them a sense of urgency to their payments. For example, “My children’s school fees are due soon, so I really need that money right now.”
What states can you go to jail for debt?
List of States: Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington. “Choosing jail“. There are programs when a debtor chooses a jail instead of court-ordered debt. List of States: California, Missouri.
Can Cash Store sue you?
Short answer is yes, a payday loan company can sue you in court if you default on your debt. Note: payday lenders can only take you to civil court — not a criminal court.
What happens when you sue someone?
When you sue someone and take him to court, it is usually based on a tort. For these reasons, there are compensatory damages, which require the defendant to pay back money the plaintiff (the one who filed the lawsuit) lost as a result of the defendant’s negligence, as well as money to make up for pain and suffering.
Do verbal agreements stand in court?
Most verbal contracts are legally binding. However, there are some exceptions, depending on the construction of the agreement and the purpose of the contract. Although an oral agreement may be legally enforceable, it can be tough to prove in court.

Morning talks are rarely true, talking in the afternoon is small. You'll never know a person until they talk in soft tones late, late at night.
There will always be things in life and in growing up that no one will tell you, but you will learn in time.
You'll never realize how you and your parents are similar until after you've moved out.
Feeling like you're nothing is easy. You can imagine yourself disappearing just likethat. But once you realize you're something it's more difficult; there is a body to feed and a soul to fill. You take up space because you belong in it.
No one knows your life as well as you do, because you're the only one that was there the entire time. Not even words can convey everything if it's secondhand. But don't be fooled, no one lies to you more than yourself.
Do not believe your passions are "correct" or "better" than someone else's. Passions make you happy, do not take away small happiness. Embrace why you're different. Sing opera in the shower. Create languages. Collect headless dolls. Enjoy your madness.
A penchant for poetry comes with coming of age. Poetry speaks true things with the ease of lies.
Daylight is for living. Moonlight is for thinking. Walk through playgrounds at midnight, feel how your limbs have grown. Sit outside coffee shops at noon, see how the world turns.
Everything is complicated. Nothing is trivial. Cliches are etched in your bones and make you laugh or sigh.
Nothing is more grounding than having a hardback book in your backpack.
Loving someone else often feels more important than anything. Creating hurts just as much.
Dreams feel longer when you try to keep them at bay.
Watching the sun rise because you've woken up and seen it is vastly different than staying up and seeing it.
Waiting for an answer is dull. Finding it yourself is satisfying.

This is the story of what happened after Edward and Bella adopted Luna and changed her into a vampire. Luna's character is based a lot on my own experiences because I was adopted, too, and I am now very happy with my life. Here is the link to the prequel, First Light: http://www.thetwilightsaga.com/forum/topics/first-light-2?groupUrl=...
I could only feel pain, like every cell in my body was ablaze, turning me into a pile of ashes. I had felt this pain for who knows how long, but each second felt like a year. I waited for the fire to burn itself out, but it never did, and I wondered how long it would take before I died.
The last thing I remembered before the agony had come was my new mother whispering in my ear. She looked far too young to be a mother, and she was pale and beautiful like her also too-young husband. However, they acted so mature for their age, and I had trusted them. For as long as I could remember, I had lived in the Forks, Washington orphanage, because both of my parents had been killed in a car crash. I had no memory of them, as I was just six months old when they perished, but I wanted a family more than anything.
I had no friends at the orphanage because of my quirky behavior, and I had pretty much given up on getting a family on my thirteenth birthday; it's very rare that a teenager is adopted. So you can imagine how happy I was when the Cullen couple said they wanted to take me in. I had just walked in the huge house before my new mother, Bella, bent down close to my ear and whispered, "I'm so sorry," before I felt the skin on my neck being slashed and I was engulfed in flames. I have always been optimistic, but now I think my life will come to an end.
My parents sat by my side the entire time, Edward holding one hand and Bella the other. I had decided not to call them Mom and Dad because I already had those, and they could never be replaced. I thrashed and screamed on the table I lay on and the young couple squeezed my hands at the same time. I did not know why they had brought this pain to me, but I wasn't sure I trusted them anymore.
Suddenly, the pain ended, and I sat there for a moment in shock before i opened my eyes. Everything was in pristine clarity, and I could see every plane on every little particle of dust in the air, but the first things that caught my eye were the shining faces of Edward and Bella.
Bella was looking apprehensive, slightly worried, but it looked like the face of a concerned mother. Edward was smiling encouragingly at me, and then he looked to his wife. "She's fine, Bella, just a little stunned," he told her gently, and I could hear his lips brushing together as he talked. Then he turned back to me. "Luna, I know you're really confused, but we'll explain everything, I promise. First, do you want to hunt?"
I noticed then that there was a flaring pain in my throat where the fire hadn't been doused, but this time it felt like I was parched! I needed blood! I nodded furiously, and Edward took me by the arm and walked me through the kitchen to what I assumed was the back door. It opened up to a river with the forest behind it, and he let me go and took a running start to the river. He cleared it in one jump, almost flying over it, and I felt my jaw drop. Edward landed gracefully on the other side and turned to smile back at my stunned face.
Then, it clicked. My years of reading every book I could get my hands on had taught me about every manner of imaginary creatures, and the family I now belonged to fit one of their descriptions.
Vampires. I had been adopted into a family of vampires, and I had been transformed into one. That was why they were all pale, why I thirsted for blood, why they had amazing agility. I was a monster.
I had always dreamed of joining the world of the supernatural, to be able to do amazing things and escape from the orphanage, and now I had finally gotten my wish.
With a smile, I ran at the speed of a bullet and shot over the river to my waiting father.

Access to leprosy care: a study among leprosy patients and health care providers in rural Panvel tehsil of Maharashtra, India
Principal Investigator Dr. Vanaja P Shetty
Project team Mr. Sachin Atre, Mr. Nilesh Gaikwad, Dr.Riddhi Doshi
Funder Corpus grant of the FMR given by Jamsetji Tata trust
Duration 2010 (1 year)
Based on the finding from the survey in rural areas of Panvel tehsil that a significant number of adults and children with leprosy remained undetected, the need was felt for inquiry into various issues related to access to leprosy care in this study area as well as patients’ and health care providers’ perceptions about leprosy and their interaction.
We conducted semi-structured interviews with adult patients (61 newly diagnosed adult cases from the survey; 37 new patients diagnosed and treated at the primary health centres and 15 patients from the private clinics), 22 parents of children with leprosy during April 2008 to March 2009 in the FMR clinic at Panvel. Additionally, four NGO workers and four PHC staff members were also interviewed using an interview guide.
Majority of patients could neither name their disease nor mention its cause, indicating poor knowledge of leprosy among them (Atre et al., 2011).
Reasons for remaining undetected were a) ignorance about the condition, b) location of patches on unvisualized regions of the body.
The findings underscored the need for leprosy education to the community and patients, a dialogue between health care providers and patients, involvement of family members in keeping treatment adherence, trainings for health staff, etc.

(ConservativeFreePress.com) – On Thursday, the Senate voted to disapprove Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan which would forgive over $400 billion in student loan debt. It is widely expected that following this vote Biden will issue his fifth presidential veto.
The Senate resolution disapproving the Department of Education rule that would implement the student loan forgiveness plan passed on 52 to 46 votes, with Senator Manchin, D-W.Va., Senator Tester, D-Mont., and Senator Sinema, I-Ariz., all joining the 49 Republicans who voted against the plan. The House had also voted to stop the program last week in a 218-203 vote.
Republicans have been particularly against this plan because they have argued that it is unfair to those Americans who never took out any student loans or did not pay them off. Senator Thune, R-S.D., specifically stated that it was a “slap in the face” to those Americans who had opted to go to cheaper schools or work during their college studies in order to avoid having student loans. He further noted that this would also be unfair to all those parents who had “scrimped and saved” in order for their children to go to college debt free.
Democrats, however, have supported the program and have voted against the resolution that would scrap it. Senator Murray, D-Wash., specifically noted that she had heard from many people in her state that people were grateful for this possibility of having their loans forgiven, but that opportunity was now lost because of the Republicans.

Worker's Comp Versus Personal Injury Claims: Can I do Both?
So you were injured in a workplace accident. The deadline to file a workers’ compensation claim with the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC) is looming, but you don’t know whether submitting a claim will bar you from suing your employer later on in court. You are pretty sure your employer’s negligence contributed to your injuries and want to sue, but you also have medical bills from the accident piling up and need to pay them.
This is the unfortunate situation in which many people injured on the job find themselves every year. Workers’ comp provides much-needed financial benefits almost immediately following a workplace injury; however, the injured worker must submit their claim within a certain time after the accident in order to qualify for benefits. What’s more, unlike damages awarded through the courts for personal injury, the benefits an injured worker can receive through workers’ comp are subject to certain caps, both in monetary amount and duration.
The catch about the system of workers’ comp is that in exchange for paying for workers’ comp insurance coverage for employees, employers receive a certain level of immunity from civil suit by those employees. The workers’ comp laws of North Carolina specifically prohibit “double recovery,” meaning that in most circumstances you can’t recover both.
Fortunately, there are many potential routes an injured employee can take in this situation together with their personal injury attorney. With either a workers’ comp or personal injury claim, it is important to speak with an attorney experienced in both areas of the law—the advantages and disadvantages of each, applicable deadlines, etc. When you are unsure which avenue to pursue, it becomes even more critical to consult with an attorney who works in both personal injury and workers’ compensation law that can guide you along the path that leads to the best resolution for your particular situation.Choosing Between Workers’ Comp and Personal Injury Suit
Depending on the nature of your injuries and your employer’s conduct, your attorney may immediately recommend based on the unique facts of your case that you pursue one type of reimbursement over the other. There is a great deal of overlap in the events that can lead to claims for workers’ comp and personal injury, but in many situations one type of claim is more appropriate than the other.
For example, the system of workers’ comp is not as equipped to compensate for pain and suffering, inconvenience or emotional distress as the courts are. The benefits an injured worker can receive through workers’ comp are subject to certain caps, both in monetary amount and duration, whereas a personal injury claim, whether it is for negligence, recklessness, wrongful death, etc., is not subject to these caps.
Sometimes, however, injury lawsuits are barred from proceeding if the worker already filed a claim for workers’ comp. North Carolina courts have held that in order to proceed with both a pending workers’ comp claim and personal injury employer lawsuit, the employer’s alleged conduct must have been so severe that it basically amounts to an intentional tort (the word “tort” is a broad term in personal injury law that describes a harmful act one party does against another). Within the context of being able to file both a workers’ comp and personal injury claim, the employer does not have to have intended for your injury to occur, but still must have been substantially certain their action or inaction would result in death or serious injury. This is an extremely high bar that is difficult to meet, so unless your employer’s actions rose to this level, your attorney will help you decide which avenue to pursue.Proceeding With Workers’ Comp Claim and Personal Injury Suit
However, it can be difficult to gage expected damages on the front end of a case. There are also ways in which a person can file both a claim for workers’ comp and an employer lawsuit for personal injury, weigh their potential recovery from each, and then later opt for the choice that will maximize the amount of compensation they will receive. In your situation it may be recommended that you submit your workers’ comp claim to the NCIC to meet their deadline but ask them to the claim on “hold” so you do not receive any benefits yet. That way you would be able to additionally pursue a claim against your employer in a personal injury lawsuit.
Depending on the case, courts will also sometimes permit the injured party or their family to proceed with a personal injury claim even after collecting workers’ compensation for the same injury. However, the workers’ compensation carrier will then usually have a lien on any financial award the injured worker receives from the personal injury suit, in the amount of workers’ comp benefits that the person already received. This means the injured party will have to reimburse the workers’ comp carrier for that amount.
Whether you have been injured on the job and need to file a workers’ compensation claim, or have been injured by another person’s negligence, or both, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney familiar with both workers’ comp and personal injury law in North Carolina. Arnold & Smith, PLLC is an aggressive civil and criminal litigation firm in Charlotte, North Carolina. Contact us today for an initial consultation about your case with one of our personal injury/workers’ comp attorneys.

There are 25 million empty bedrooms in England – mostly where elderly couples have remained living in family homes.The Redbridge pilot scheme "Free Space" offers them to the chance to remain owners but to move out. The local authority pays for the cost of moving and charges an "affordable rent" (up t 80% of market rent) the proceeds of which go to the owner ( who also saved money on Council Tax and utility bills by having a smaller property.)
It is proposed that Social Impact Bonds – the scheme to attract private investment for schemes where the social benefit produces a financial return – would be suitable for these schemes.
Of course many, perhaps most, elderly people don't want to move. But the idea is to make it easier for those who do. Housing Minister Grant Shapps told the Daily Telegraph:
“For too long the housing needs of the elderly have been neglected. Older people who should be enjoying their homes have watched helplessly as their properties have become prisons, and many have been forced to sell their homes and move into residential care.
“With nearly a fifth of our population expected to be over 65 by 2020, radical and urgent change is needed to ensure the nation’s housing needs are met.”

|Places to Visit|
Ranipet is located about 110 km from Chennai and is better known for it’s leather industry, churning out world class leather goods, garments, shoes and shoe uppers. The MGM Hi-Way Resort is strategically located on NH 4 connecting Chennai to Bangalore and is a good base to visit interesting places in and around the vicinity
The Vellore Fort is about an hour away from the resort and dates back to the 16th Century. The crumbling citadel was built by the Nayakar chieftains of the Vijaynagar empire. The fort is known for its wide moat, magnificent ramparts and exquisite architecture. The Vellore Fort survived many an invasion, and was handed over to the Bijapur Sultans and later to the Marathas and then to the Carnatic Nawabs. The British took over the fort as spoils of war and it remained a strategic point of control for the British, till 1947. The fort stood as a silent spectator when Tipu Sultan’s family was held in captivity here, it saw the first Indian uprising against the British in 1806 and the tragic massacre of the Vijaynagar royal family. A church, a mosque and the renowned Jalakanteshwara temple (1550 AD) can be found within the precincts of the fort.
Ratnagiri Balamurugan Temple
This ancient Murugan temple dates back to the 14th Century and stands perched atop a hill in Vellore. It is 8 km from the MGM Hi-Way Resort. Originally built as a sand structure, over the years it has been converted into a stone shrine. There is a reference to this temple in the hymns of the 14th Century poet, Arunagirinathar, wherein he proclaims that Murugan, the God of the Devas, lives in Ratnagiri. Lord Balamurugan manifests himself in Ratnagiri in two forms: the first is in the form of the deity and his two consorts, Teyvanai and Valli, whilst the second is in the form of the presiding guru.
Barely 18 km from MGM Hi-Way Resort, stands the imposing Jalakanteshwara Temple dedicated to Shiva. The temple was built in 1566 and echoes the Vijayanagar style of architecture. Jalakanteswara, literally translated means, “Lord Siva residing in the water” and is renowned for its magnificent sculptures. There is a 100ft high, seven-storey gopuram made of blue granite, which is flanked by two carved dwarpalas. The carvings in the kalyan mandapa are some of the most impressive in India. The outer pillars have sculptures of rearing horses and dragons. The inner pillars have sculptures of yalis, which are lion-like creatures.
The breath takingly beautiful Golden Temple at Sripuram is about 22 km away from the MGM Hi-Way Resort, sprawling across 55 acres near Malaikodi. It is the largest structure proclaiming the use of gold. The temple was built at a cost of Rs. 600 crores, uses 1.5 tonnes of gold to adorn it, and is embellished with intricate carvings and sculpture. The Vimanam and Ardha Mandapam of this Lakshmi Narayani temple is coated with gold on the interior and exterior, and the Satari or crown with the feet of the lord engraved on it, is made of solid gold, weighing 1 kg. A star-shaped pathway with quotes from the Bhagwad Geeta, Quran and the Bible on either side, leads to the main temple. The inner sanctum sanctorum has a deity of Mahalakshmi. Open 365 days a year, the temple is open to visitors from 7am -8pm.
Perched atop verdant hills at an altitude of 3500 feet, Yelagiri is a breathtakingly picturesque hill station and an ideal weekend getaway.

Based on a paper titled “Medicating Children” by Misty Smith. Originally published for PSY 230 at Southern New Hampshire University College of Online and Continuing Education.
“Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents” (Hardman, p. 389). Symptoms of ADHD include lack of attention or focus, increased activity, and unwelcome behavior. Children who are diagnosed with ADHD are recommended for medication to alter their behavior.
“Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents” (Hardman, p. 389). Symptoms of ADHD include a lack of attention or focus, increased activity, and unwelcome behavior. Children who are diagnosed with ADHD are recommended for medication to alter their behavior. The United States of America leads the world in the sheer number of children who are not only diagnosed but treated with medication (Frontline, 2001). However, there is no set standard of official conclusive means of reaching a diagnosis of ADHD which leaves numerous groups to question the validity of using psychotropic medications in the children who have received the medication determination of ADHD.
On the opposing side of using psychotropic medications in children are groups such as The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), founded by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz. CCHR argues that the diagnosis of ADHD, and psychological disorders as a whole, are nothing more than a farce created by pharmaceutical companies in order to create profits. According to Citizens Commission on Human Rights (2017), “This is not to say that people do not get depressed, or that people can’t experience emotional or mental duress, but psychiatry has repackaged these emotions and behaviors as “disease” in order to sell drugs”. It is the opinion of this student that groups such as these spread sparks of doubt within society and can place individuals who need mental health care in severe jeopardy.
It is a fact that the sheer number of children being diagnosed with ADHD and similar disorders have skyrocketed to epic proportions over the past few decades. This increase in numbers cannot be attributed to new scientific methods of diagnoses, but to that of groups such as Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) and the pharmaceutical companies who produce the medications being prescribed. CHADD, a group who receives a portion of funding from pharmaceutical companies, was one of the groups who lobbied Congress in the 1990s to get Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder recognized under the American with Disabilities Act. “Today, children with ADHD are eligible for special education services or accommodations within the regular classroom when needed, and adults with ADHD may be eligible for accommodations in the workplace under the Americans with Disabilities Act” (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, 2017). As a result of ADHD being recognized and additional accommodations were given, the numbers of children being given ADHD status increased dramatically in the United States, “…affecting up to nine percent of all children, and approximately four percent of adults” (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, 2017).
In a video by Frontline, Medicating Kids, cases of children who have been diagnosed with ADHD and given medication are featured. In the first case, the little boy shows a very vibrant, non-aggressive and very curious personality. However, after watching the interaction in the video of the parent with the child, I have some doubts about the child’s status. For example, there was zero evidence that the parents were attempting to correct the behavior of their child; instead, they just looked on as he ‘acted up’. In the case of the little girl named Noel, I cannot reach a definite opinion as it seems the child could be helped by extra tutoring (by finding a learning style she is more attune with), instead of medication. As for the case of Alex, I am in complete agreement that the child will benefit greatly from a combination of medications and mental health treatments.
It is my opinion that the scientific community needs to come up with a better way of diagnosing if a child is really suffering from ADHD or is just expressing themselves. Not every child who has been given the ADHD diagnoses, as it currently stands, can be proven to actually have the condition. Therefore, instead of listening directly to lobbying by pharmaceutical companies who benefit from the sales of medications, or to groups who do not wish to believe in mental illness in any form, nonpartisan scientific groups and panels need to concentrate on formulating foolproof methods of diagnosing individuals/children who are suffering from disorders such as ADHD.

74% of economists polled states that economic benefits from net-zero emissions by 2050 can outweigh the cost of achieving it. An increasing large number of climate economists state that the world needs to take “immediate and drastic action” in order to combat climate change. This is according to a survey published Tuesday by the US based reputable Institute for Policy Integrity.
Not doing so could cost the planet ABOUT $1.7 trillion a year by the middle of the decade, with figures expected to rise to around $30 trillion a year by 2075. This according to estimates made by 738 economists surveyed by New York University’s Institute for Policy Integrity from across the globe.
“People joke about how economists can’t agree on most things,” said Derek Sylvan, the institute’s strategy director and one of the authors of the survey. “But we seem to find a pretty strong level of consensus” on the economic role climate action plays.
Three-quarters of the respondents strongly agrees that drastic action was necessary. This is compared to the result of the poll in 2015, when just half of the economist agreed.
Another question on attaining net zero carbon emissions by 2050 was asked and two-thirds of respondents stated that the cost of investing towards such a global goal was outweighed by the economic benefits it would bring, including preserving coastal assets and infrastructure, preventing natural disasters and protecting food supplies.
In order to avoid catastrophic climate change, scientists have said the world needs to attain net-zero emissions status by 2050. Sylvan stated he was surprised that so many net-zero actions were seen as economically desirable, even on the stringent timeline.
The majority of the international climate economists polled in February stated they had become increasingly concerned about climate change over the past 5 years. The most prevalent reason for this was due to the exacerbation of extreme weather events in recent times, particularly climate-linked heatwave and wildfires.
There were over 7,300 major natural disaster from 2000 to 2019. These disasters killed around 1.2 million people, creating $3 trillion in damages. This is according to the UN Office on Disaster Risk Reduction. This compares to around 4,200 disasters killing 1.9 million and causing $1.6 trillion in losses over the previous 20 years.
“Some places are more exposed, and current levels of income matter a great deal,” said Michael Greenstone, an economist at the University of Chicago and the director of the Energy Policy Institute at Chicago.
The impact from climate change is sure to impact nations and people all over the world. Economic disparities can make it difficult to apply basic cost-benefit analyses, Greenstone said. For example, a poor family will feel economic losses more acutely than a wealthy family.
“How do we think about a dollar of climate damage to (billionaires) Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos versus a family of four living below the poverty line? I think as a society we have to make a judgment about that.”

Companies working with artificial intelligence need to install accountability mechanisms to prevent its being misused, the European Commission said on Monday, under new ethical guidelines for a technology open to abuse.
AI projects should be transparent, have human oversight and secure and reliable algorithms, and they must be subject to privacy and data protection rules, the commission said, among other recommendations.
The European Union initiative taps in to a global debate about when or whether companies should put ethical concerns before business interests, and how tough a line regulators can afford to take on new projects without risking killing off innovation.
“The ethical dimension of AI is not a luxury feature or an add-on. It is only with trust that our society can fully benefit from technologies,” the Commission digital chief, Andrus Ansip, said in a statement.
AI can help detect fraud and cybersecurity threats, improve healthcare and financial risk management and cope with climate change. But it can also be used to support unscrupulous business practices and authoritarian governments.
The EU executive last year enlisted the help of 52 experts from academia, industry bodies and companies including Google , SAP, Santander and Bayer to help it draft the principles.
Companies and organizations can sign up to a pilot phase in June, after which the experts will review the results and the Commission decide on the next steps.
IBM Europe Chairman Martin Jetter, who was part of the group of experts, said guidelines “set a global standard for efforts to advance AI that is ethical and responsible.”
The guidelines should not hold Europe back, said Achim Berg, president of BITKOM, Germany’s Federal Association of Information Technology, Telecommunications, and New Media.
“We must ensure in Germany and Europe that we do not only discuss AI but also make AI,” he said. (VOA)
Married Hindu women are recognised by a red streak of vermillion in the middle of their foreheads. This is traditionally called 'sindoor', which is derived from the Sanskrit word sindura, meaning 'red lead.'. Sindoor is traditionally powdered turmeric and lime, sometimes red saffron, or red sandalwood. It is also called vermilion, or Kumkum.

The origin of the practise of wearing sindoor is ambiguous, but historical records from the Harappan civilisation show that women wore sindoor as a sign of being married. Today's generation considers the wearing of sindoor an outdated and patriarchal ritual. However, there is still a large population of women who uphold the ritual of adorning their foreheads with vermilion every day.
Sindoor implies the longevity of a woman's marriage to her husband in the Hindu tradition. The longer the streak, the longer her husband's life is believed to be. Women wear it for the first time on their wedding day, when the husband applies it during the ceremony. As long as he remains alive, the red streak that fills the woman's maang, or hair partition, symbolises her fruitful married life.

The components of the red powder are believed to improve the sexual energy of the woman. When the finger used to apply the sindoor touches the pituitary gland every time, it arouses affection in a woman for her husband. The mixture that she wears on her head controls her blood pressure and activates her sexual drive.
These days, feminists do not take very lightly to the practice of wearing sindoor, as they view it as a sign of patriarchal dominance. They do not like being branded as 'belonging to a man'. They prefer to wear it as a style statement because it enhances beauty. Fashion designers have recently commissioned models to sport sindoor on the runway. New age feminists are making bids to allow widows and single women to adorn their foreheads with the vermilion streak.

China's CoronaVac and Sinopharm Covid vaccines may be waning in immunity levels, several studies have shown. CoronaVac and Sinopharm -- both inactivated vaccines, which use killed SARS-CoV-2 virus -- account for almost 50 per cent of the 7.3 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses delivered globally. China administered about 2.4 billion doses of the vaccines to its citizens, but almost one billion doses have gone to 110 other countries, particularly the less wealthy nations, Nature reported.
However, many countries, including Seychelles and Indonesia, which used the vaccines reported Covid-19 surges earlier this year, sparking a debate about their waning protection and the need for boosters. "These are not bad vaccines. They're just vaccines that haven't been optimised yet," Gagandeep Kang, a virologist at the Christian Medical College in India's Vellore, who advises SAGE, was quoted as saying. After receiving a second dose of CoronaVac, only 60 per cent had high levels of neutralising antibodies one month, compared to with 86 per cent of those who had received two shots of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, revealed a study of 185 health-care workers in Thailand, not yet peer-reviewed.

After three months, the antibody prevalence dropped to just 12 per cent in the same group, Opass Putcharoen, an infectious-diseases specialist at the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Clinical Center in Bangkok, was quoted as saying. However, "waning of antibodies isn't necessarily the same as waning of immune protection", noted Ben Cowling, an epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong.
CoronaVac induces a significantly lower antibody response compared with Pfizer-BioNTech's mRNA jab one month after two doses, however, the T-cell response was comparable, showed a study from Hong Kong, also not peer-reviewed. Vaccines made using other technologies have seen a similar trend of waning antibodies and protection against infection, but more-robust protection against severe disease and death. But researchers say that because the Chinese inactivated vaccines start at a lower base of neutralising antibodies, the protection they offer could drop faster than those with a stronger head start, the Nature report said.
However, a drop in protection can prove deadly for the elderly. An analysis of about one million people, hospitalised with Covid-19 in Brazil, showed that CoronaVac offered up to 60 per cent protection against severe disease up to the age of 79. But in people over 80, CoronaVac was only 30 per cent effective at preventing severe disease and 45 per cent effective against death. As a result, several countries, including Chile, Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and China, are giving booster jabs of mRNA or viral-vector vaccine to people who received the CoronaVac or Sinopharm vaccines, the report said.

The Obama administration Wednesday announced a major push to prioritize the adoption of health information technology in the health care industry in 2013.
One major initiative of the plan is to accelerate the adoption of electronic health records among physicians, while also aiming to improve interoperability.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Acting Administrator Marilyn Tavenner praised the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) for “improving the way care is delivered while lowering costs.”
“We are already seeing benefits, such as a reduction in hospital readmissions due to these reforms,” she said in a statement. “Health IT and the secure exchange of information across providers are crucial to reforming the system, and must be a routine part of care delivery.”
HHS is aiming for half of all physician offices to use electronic health records by the end of this year. EHR adoption has tripled since 2010, increasing to 44 percent in 2012 and computerized physician order entry has more than doubled (increasing 168 percent) since 2008, the department says.
Still, EHR adoption has not been as fast as many have hoped, as many doctors have had a hard time accepting and using them.

Foxtel Go can now be viewed on the iPhone, bringing live TV, sport and movies to the small screen.
The service, which requires a standard residential Foxtel subscription, will soon feature over 50 channels after Foxtel adds 3 news sports channels at the beginning of March. The app itself is free to download and customers use their existing Foxtel credentials to login.
Designed to complement the core TV service, the Foxtel Go app includes only a selection of the channels Foxtel has in its regular packages. Some of these include Fox 8, National Geographic, Lifestyle Food, Disney and a number of movie channels.
There channels are split into live streaming and catch-up versions, with only some channels offering both options.
The app also lets users browse upcoming programs via an integrated EPG, and set recordings that will be activated on their Foxtel set-top boxes.
Having the service on smartphones will raise concerns about data usage and bill shock for people using Foxtel Go. On its site, Foxtel estimates that viewing streaming content will use between 155- and 300MB per hour on a 3G connection. Over Wi-Fi the stream is better quality and can use up to 910 MB per hour.
This is a first for iPhones, but a first for Foxtel on mobile phones. Telstra has offered a basic streaming Foxtel-branded service for several years, though this service requires a separate subscription and offers far fewer channels.

Posttranslational modification with SUMO is known to regulate the activity of transcription factors, but how SUMOylation of individual proteins might influence immunity is largely unexplored. The NFAT transcription factors play an essential role in antigen receptor-mediated gene regulation. SUMOylation of NFATc1 represses IL-2 in vitro, but its role in T cell–mediated immune responses in vivo is unclear. To this end, we generated a novel transgenic mouse in which SUMO modification of NFATc1 is prevented. Avoidance of NFATc1 SUMOylation ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis as well as graft-versus-host disease. Elevated IL-2 production in T cells promoted T reg expansion and suppressed autoreactive or alloreactive immune responses. Mechanistically, increased IL-2 secretion counteracted IL-17 and IFN-γ expression through STAT5 and Blimp-1 induction. Then, Blimp-1 repressed IL-2 itself, as well as the induced, proliferation-associated survival factor Bcl2A1. Collectively, these data demonstrate that prevention of NFATc1 SUMOylation fine-tunes T cell responses toward lasting tolerance. Thus, targeting NFATc1 SUMOylation presents a novel and promising strategy to treat T cell–mediated inflammatory diseases.

The man who co–founded Apple with Steve Jobs has expressed grave concerns about the company’s plans to ditch the standard headphone slot in the forthcoming iPhone 7.
Steve Wozniak predicted that Apple would face a barrage of criticism if leaks and rumours about the company’s plans were true.
“If it’s missing the 3.5mm earphone jack, that’s going to tick off a lot of people,” he said.
Wozniak went on to say that he does not believe existing wireless technology can take up the slack and that traditional headphones are the superior option.
“I would not use Bluetooth … I don’t like wireless. I have cars where you can plug in the music, or go through Bluetooth, and Bluetooth just sounds so flat for the same music.”
“If there’s a Bluetooth 2 that has higher bandwidth and better quality, that sounds like real music, I would use it. But we’ll see. Apple is good at moving towards the future, and I like to follow that.”
Wozniak went on to say that he thought Apple should offer the same USB–C connector found in its MacBooks and rival Android phones.
He believes that the standardised port is the future for smartphones and tablets.
Despite 300,000 people signing petition to try and prevent Apple from ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack, it now seems certain that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will only offer headphone connections via its Lightning charging port.
Both phones are due out at the start of September.

Fiber Rich Foods: What Do They Do For Me? – Issue # 108/1
One of the benefits of eating your daily recommended amount of fruits, or taking FruitsMax, is that it helps in getting your daily dose of fiber. Fiber is widely known to be very body beneficial, healthwise. I want to share some information below regarding some of the healthy benefits of fiber as well as some sources of fiber that are pretty easy to work into your daily diet. Here is a list of the benefits that fiber contributes to our health from an article published by the mayoclinic.org :
Normalizes bowel movements
Dietary fiber enhances the weight and size of your stool and softens it. A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your possibility of constipation. If you have loose, watery stools, fiber may likewise help to strengthen the stool due to the fact that it absorbs water and adds bulk to stool.
Helps preserve bowel wellness
A high-fiber diet might decrease your risk of establishing piles and little pouches in your colon (diverticular illness). Some fiber is fermented in the colon. Researchers are looking at exactly how this could play a role in preventing illness of the colon.
Lowers cholesterol by degrees
Soluble fiber discovered in beans, oats, flax seed and oat bran could assist lower total blood cholesterol levels by decreasing low-density lipoprotein, or “bad,” cholesterol levels. Studies also have actually shown that fiber might have other heart-health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and inflammation.
Assists in controlling blood sugar levels
In individuals with diabetes, fiber– particularly soluble fiber– can slow the absorption of sugar and enhance blood glucose degrees. A healthy diet plan that includes insoluble fiber may also reduce the danger of developing type 2 diabetes.
Aids in achieving healthy weight
High-fiber foods typically require more chewing time, which provides your body time to register when you’re not starving, so you’re less most likely to eat way too much. Also, a high-fiber diet has the tendency to make a meal feel larger and linger longer, so you stay full for a greater quantity of time. And high-fiber diet plans likewise tend to be less “energy thick,” meanings that they have fewer calories for the same volume of food.
Here Is A List From Food Junkie of 10 Fiber Rich Foods:
A teaspoon of ground flaxseed contains roughly 2 grams of fiber. This food is specifically practical due to the fact that it can be used as a topping to add fiber to nearly any dish. It is also a rare source of omega-3 fatty acids that can be eaten by people who don’t eat fish.
If you’re trying to increase your fiber consumption, oatmeal makes an ideal breakfast. Each bowl can contain as many as ten grams of fiber. Be sure to stay with unrefined oatmeal without huge quantities of extra sugar.
A cup of prepared peas can contain as much as 9 grams of fiber. This food is likewise noteworthy for its excellent taste and its fairly high protein content.
Avocado is a food that has actually progressively become popular due to its rich taste. Not only are avocados delicious, however they are likewise extremely healthy and high in fiber. A whole avocado includes roughly 14 grams of fiber.
Like flax seed, chia seeds are another food that can assist you to include lots of fiber to any meal. A tablespoon of chia seeds consists of almost six grams of fiber and can add an extremely unique flavor to puddings and yogurt.
WHOLE WHEAT GRAINS
Using enriched flour has eliminated the nutritional value of a great deal of breads and pastas. Nevertheless, whole wheat alternatives can be discovered conveniently. Making the switch to whole wheat grains can considerably increase the quantity of fiber in your diet plan.
Although lima beans have actually gotten a bad reputation, they can be scrumptious when prepared appropriately. If you’re aiming to eat more fiber, it’s worth your while to learn how to cook lima beans well. A single cup of lima beans can consist of over 13 grams of fiber.
As one of the most talked-about superfoods, it’s not a surprise that kale is found in the discussion about fiber. A single cup serving of kale supplies about 2.5 grams of fiber. Although that may seem like a low number, consider that a serving of kale consists of only 33 Calories. Its ratio of fiber to calories makes kale a terrific fiber option for dieters.
Like kale, a serving of celery does not appear to contain that much fiber. A medium celery stalk provides you with somewhat over half a gram of fiber. Nevertheless, thinking about that a stalk of celery only has about 6 Calories, it is another excellent option for dieters to get their fiber.
Fiber is extremely important for your health. If you want to prevent diseases and lose weight, you should consider regularly including these foods in your diet. Don’t forget these fruits that are also great sources of fiber, Apples, Bananas, and Berries — Blueberies, Blackberries, Raspberries, etc. Also one more thing to remember is, probiotics are needed as well to properly digest fiber. To your health : )

The price of a 1911 handgun can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the manufacturer, materials used, caliber, and features. Some 1911s can be found for as little as $500, while others can cost well over $1,500.
In general, you can expect to pay more for a 1911 made by a well-known and respected manufacturer, as these guns are often made with higher-quality materials and have tighter tolerances for better accuracy and reliability. 1911s that are made with stainless steel or other premium materials may also be more expensive.
It is also worth noting that the cost of a 1911 can vary significantly depending on the caliber. For example, a .45 ACP 1911 may be more expensive than a 9mm 1911 of the same quality, due to the higher cost of .45 ACP ammunition and the fact that it is typically a more powerful caliber.
Overall, it is important to set a budget and do your research before purchasing a 1911 to ensure that you are getting a quality firearm at a price that you are comfortable with.

Monroe County student arrested for alleged 'terroristic' threats
A 14-year-old student at Whiteford High School in Monroe County was arrested Saturday for allegedly making '"terroristic" threats.
The staff at Whiteford High School contacted the Monroe County Sheriff's Office after the student reportedly made threatening gestures inside a classroom, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Superintendent of Whiteford Agricultural Schools Valerie Orr said a letter was emailed to families regarding the incident and the arrest.
"I understand that our top priority is to provide a safe and secure learning environment for our students. The recent events in Parkland, Florida, once again break our hearts and challenge us to assist our students in feeling safe while attending school," Orr wrote in the letter, sent out Saturday.
"Your kids are our kids; we feel the same fears that arise when a safety concern crosses our mind."
According to Orr's letter, school administration began investigating a report of an inappropriate gesture made by a student in a classroom on Thursday and police were called to assist.
School officials were told there was no credible threat to students, at that time, the letter said.
Law enforcement and Whiteford administration continued to investigate on Friday, the letter said, and a specific threat to Whiteford Schools was discovered that evening.
School officials then canceled the middle school dance and issued a Honeywell alert to parents in response.
Detective Mike McClain headed the investigation, and according to the sheriff's office, a pick up order was issued by the Juvenile Court of Monroe County.
The student was arrested at his home at about 7 p.m. Saturday, the sheriff's office said in a release.
According to the sheriff's office, he is being lodged at the Monroe County Youth Center and formal charges by the Monroe County Prosecutor's Office are expected on Monday.
Orr's letter said they are prohibited from sharing detailed information about the student who made the threat, but asked parents to talk to their children about the importance of speaking up if they see or hear things that may present a danger and continue monitoring social media for information that should be shared with school administration or law enforcement.
"A critical component of safety is our ability to work together for the benefit of our children," Orr wrote. "I want to assure everyone that any threat toward our district will be handled immediately and full prosecution under the law will be recommended."

From caintv.com: Politics: Behold the ‘short-suit’ – The final nail in manhood’s coffin
They matter, first and foremost! They are the serene breath, and soulmates of us all. They should be treasured! The present smells so putrid, of death for future generations. A prison made from dreams gone sour, of concrete, steel and ugliness. The demigods and nymphs of old, have been replaced by meat, fit only for […]
My neighbour is the silent type. His lawn, it doth speak for him, mowed to sheer perfection, it frowns upon my weeds, that laze about without a care, and smell of sweet inaction.

Questions About You Must Know the Answers To

When I initially met Christian & Essen, there was a special connection between them that felt so effortless. Essen portrays as a very organized and skillful individual that can handle anything thrown her way, especially when it comes to her wedding. Christian is a man madly in love who is willing to do anything to bring Essen total happiness. As we arrived at the engagement shoot, this awesome couple were willing to do whatever and go wherever just because they were happily being caught in the moment together. This was my first impression.
Most people don't realize how much extra effort goes into working photo sessions for engagements. I personally find play within my work and suggest taking hikes with my couples. Using the full width of the landscapes allows us to try and find different locations and create a variety of perspectives. We surely aren't just trying to stand under a simple tree or sit on the same seashore the entire time...we are on a journey with a destination.
The last few minutes of the engagement session ended with a sweet and simple sunset. The dried grass tips were beautifully illuminated by the red and orange glow of sunlight reflecting off of the ocean surface. The wind blew gently along the cliff-side as the waves were pushed quietly against the rocks, making a gentle passing sound. Christian & Essen spent this private moment dancing together then sat watching the sun dip down below the horizon.
Christian & Essen's rooms were only just a few doors down from one another at the Residence Inn by Marriott Maui Wailea. The photo shoot began with this beautiful wedding dress from Elly's Formal Wear, followed by the accent details of the bride & bridesmaids attire. The ladies were bonding during hair and makeup and celebrated with a champagne toast to the bride. Essen's bridesmaids, that were mostly composed of friends and family from out of town, were ecstatic to see their longtime friend get ready for her big day.
As the bridal suite continued with wedding preparations, Christian and his groomsmen gladly took their time creating new moments together while celebrating with their very own individual Hennessy & Coke bottles. The groom and his groomsmen were also outfitted by Elly's Formal Wear.
King Kamehamhea Golf Course provides stunning views of Central Maui for wedding ceremonies on their Kahalawai Terrace. If you're lucky, you'll get a perfect cloud cover to protect you and your guests from the intense, bright Maui sun. This beautifully veiled altar was adorned by stunning floral arrangements provided by Floral Designs Maui. As the minister blew the pu, the ceremony began and the guests looked on back to witness the bridal party making way for the bride.
As Christian & Essen stood at the altar, memories of my first impression of them came to mind. Here Essen was at her perfect wedding that she helped to beautifully and flawlessly plan together with the help of wedding planner, Kim Yonamine, from Exclusive Island Weddings. And here was Christian, the man who totally loves Essen and would always do anything to make her happy, tearfully reciting his vows to his bride.
the bride & groom
Earlier as I drove my way up to the wedding ceremony, I spotted a couple grassy hills that had a gorgeous backdrop of Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui mountains). My goal was to make sure that the golf course landscape didn't distract from their special moment in their portraits. So we found a beautiful open grassy area surrounded by tall trees that lead up to the mauna. The sun, now being behind the mountain, gave off such an inviting soft illumination that helped to enhance the bride & groom. Towards the end, videographer Josh Galinato from, Galinato Productions, flew his drone over to capture beautiful aerial footage to add to their wedding video.
Inside the Kamehameha Golf Club the ballroom was filled to capacity with tables and chairs to accommodate the newlywed's guests of family and friends. A classic gold & navy blue theme decorated the head table with white rose floral arrangements that adorned each table. Next Level Entertainment performed as the reception DJ & Emcee for the night. The beautiful up-lighting and projection mapping were also created by Next Level Entertainment which is a part of their many event enhancement options that they offered to help create a custom experience for Essen & Christian. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Joe Cortez. The NLE team created a bass dropping atmosphere, introducing each bridal party pair as they showed off their dance moves for everyone. Throughout the night Joe kept the evening light & fun by keeping their timeline of events like the bouquet toss, garter toss, cutting of the cake, created by Maui Wedding Cakes, playing interactive games with the crowd and involving them into the love story of Christian and Essen. One of the most special moments of the evening was the first dance by the bride & groom, who danced along to their favorite soundtrack and to a voice-over recording of themselves reminiscing of their fondest memories for one another.
the grand exit
As the reception came to a conclusion, the dancing and celebrating began to settle, sparklers were handed out to guests and a long exit tunnel formed out on the driveway. The newlyweds excitedly departed through past their guests as they headed off to start their adventure into marital life. This is known as the grand exit. Whether it's sparklers, bubbles or floating lanterns, I will always be in favor of ending your wedding in the most memorable way.
Christian & Essen, I just want to thank you again for working with me! It was such a journey from the first time we got together to talk story, all the way to the completion of your beautiful wedding album. I sincerely hope that these memories will last forever in your hearts and minds, as you take time each year to thumb through your album and cherish the moments you had with your friends, family and with one another. I pray that you have MANY more years of memories and good times to come in life. - Aaron Najera

Making art has been a part of my entire adult life. After studying Commercial Art in high school, I enrolled in a BFA program at the U of A, later opting to complete an Art Education degree. A gallery of some of my early work highlights the fact it often uses simple graphic designs.
Returning to Canada in 2012, I worked with a web designer to launch my WordPress website highlighting my creative abilities in design, writing, photography, art, music and video production. A major work from this time, Death from A to Z by Adam Lanza, Dec. 14, 2012 (2013), explores the issue of gun control.
Moving to Prince George, I completed a major outdoor installation, The Spirit of Prince George, 2015, (2014) for Timberspan Wood Products. After creating the design for the work in Illustrator, I used a variety of power tools to carve the Douglas fir panels. Another example my wood-based art is Teach Only Love.
My Happy Face Series emphasizes my spiritual belief in a positive world.
I have also entered a number of art competitions, including one as team leader for a submission to build a Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa and another to create an installation commemorating Prince George’s Centennial (parts 1 & 2).
In August 2021,was included in Observica Prime Magazine’s 13th edition and joined Biafrin, an online platform promoting art, artists and art sales. My biography states:
James Miller was born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 15. According to the “The Secret Language of Birthdays”, May 15 is the Day of the Dreamweaver. Those born on this day “simply have a gift for quietly and unostentatiously touching the hearts of family, friends or colleagues….The materials that May 15 people work with come from everyday life but those born on this day have a remarkable talent for putting those materials through a kind of creative alchemy and weaving a resultant tapestry which touches one’s inner core.”
Unable to avoid his astrological fate, Miller has been making art of one kind or another for his entire adult life. Always interested in the spiritual, Miller has become obsessed with the idea that life is a really, really good thing, despite the sometimes seemingly overwhelming evidence that the opposite is true. The majority of his work on his website, jamesmillercreative.com is dedicated to communicating that message. His introduction to “A Course in Miracles” in 2012 has further confirmed for him that everyone’s “happiness and function are one.”
After teaching mostly art overseas for ten years, Miller returned to Canada in 2012 and moved to Edmonton in 2021, where he currently resides.
In conclusion, I invite you to explore my work on my website, which I believe portrays me and my work far better than any written chronology. However, if there’s information you need vital to this being a viable application, please advise.
I will leave you with one more, a song I recorded in Victoria in 2005 and turned into a music video in 2020, as it features much of my art and my wonderful voice.
