Due attention not being paid to small and medium-sized businesses
By Messenger Staff
Tuesday, July 14Data from the first quarter of 2009 show that only 14 percent of Georgia’s output is produced by small and medium-sized businesses. This proves that Georgia’s administration is not paying due attention to this very important segment of the Georgian economy and it is deteriorating. “The Georgian Government is not interested in small and medium-sized businesses,” thinks economic analyst Demur Giorkhelidze.
It is universally acknowledged that the development of small and medium-sized businesses is a backbone of statehood, as this creates jobs, increases the external compatibility of production, enhances the welfare of the state and strengthens it. In all well-to-do countries small and medium-sized businesses enjoy different tax benefits, which as a result encourage the development of that country’s economy. In Georgia there are no special state institutions or tax advantages which can encourage the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, which are taxed in the same way as large companies.
Former member of the ruling party and now leader of the Women’s Party Guguli Maghradze is accusing officials of corruption. She is saying that under the cheap credit scheme the maximum a company could receive was GEL 100,000, but some companies have received more than GEL 2 million. Today in Georgia 83 percent of production is accounted for by big businesses. 8 percent originates from medium-sized businesses and the rest from small businesses, although 21 percent of all employees work in small businesses. In the new programme initiated by the Government for rescuing the country from the crisis and stimulating the economy there is almost nothing said about supporting such businesses.

Ambedkar On Indian History
By T H P Chentharassery
So long as the so-called historians are inclined to write history believing in the philosophy of Chaturvarnyam Maya Srishtam, it is a pity that our unfortunate India will have to go without a true history based on science. Without bearing in mind the history of this special transformation of Indian society nobody can write a true history of India.
This book has been written mainly on the basis of the various works of Dr Ambedkar with a view to propagating his high idea, “Educate”.

Mid-Year Appeal: Help Us Do More When It’s Needed Most!
New York is at a pivot point. We’ll soon have a new Mayor, City Council, and leaders of city agencies. We’re emerging from a pandemic, and charting our future. Big real estate and government leaders are conspiring to strip away rules and regulations that protect our neighborhoods from unmitigated greed and avarice.
Now more than ever, we need a strong voice for preservation, and for perpetuating the qualities that make our neighborhoods great — a human scale, beauty, and sense of history, and a tradition of openness, cultural innovation, and social progress.
We’re doing that in so many ways — leading the effort to:
- Stop a disastrous upzoning of SoHo and NoHo, intended as a blueprint for similar changes to historic neighborhoods across New York City
- Extend landmarking to unprotected areas of Greenwich Village and the East Village, including South of Union Square
- Get the City to appropriately protect designated landmarked areas of our neighborhood, fighting inappropriate developments on Lower Fifth Avenue, the West Village, the Meatpacking District, NoHo, and the East Village
- Oppose air rights transfers and other measures to allow oversized commercial developments in our neighborhoods
- Recognize and protect our neighborhoods’ rich civil rights history, including African American, women’s, and LGBTQ+ history
- Show the positive relationship between preservation and affordability
- Educate children about the value of historic preservation, including with our new African American history curriculum
- Provide an ever-expanding array of programs and online resources to educate about the special histories and architecture of Greenwich Village, the East Village, and NoHo, and the value of historic preservation
We’ve secured landmark designation for over 1,250 buildings and zoning protections for almost 100 blocks, and each year we provide educational programming to more than 12,000 people and online resources to over 350,000 users each year.
All of this is possible only because of the generosity of individuals like you, who provide more than 75% of our support. As we reach the midpoint of what promises to be a crucial year for preservation efforts, I hope you’ll consider making a contribution to support our work today.

Paul Marshman is a boomer travel expert and blogger from Toronto, Canada. His site, The Travelling Boomer, fills in 50+ readers on everything from cruises to visiting Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. His advice has been featured by The Globe & Mail, The Toronto Star, TravelAlerts.ca, and many more.
He was kind enough to answer some of our questions about travel below!
TA: How many years have you been traveling and what got you hooked?
Paul: I’ve been travelling since I was just out of university, but I started doing it seriously in 1990 when, on a whim and mostly out of boredom, I took leave from my job and went around the world. It was a great experience, and I began to do big trips every four years or so. Since then I’ve been to scores of countries — my current total is 66. I just have a hunger to see everything the world has to offer, and go to ever corner of the globe.
TA: Do you specialize in a particular type of travel?
Paul: My specialty is the kind of travel that appeals to older travellers, or baby boomers. So the focus is on cultural attractions like the Hermitage museum and the chateaux of the Loire Valley, rather than bungee jumping in New Zealand. There’s also quite a bit of cruise coverage, since that’s a form of travel that’s made for boomers. However, I still fit in some adventure, like a trip to the Galapagos Islands.
TA: What is the best vacation you’ve ever taken?
Paul: It’s hard to beat a trip around the world — that’s the trip of a lifetime. I saw the Taj Mahal at dawn, slept in longhouses with Borneo natives, trekked through the jungles of Thailand and experienced cherry blossom times in Tokyo. That was almost 30 years ago, and amazingly, you can still fly around the world for not much more than it cost me then.
TA: What’s one place you’ve always wanted to visit?
Paul: Many of my ancestors are from Ireland, and somehow I’ve never managed to visit. So it’s at the top of my bucket list. I’m also drawn by the photos of the lush, green countryside, and the wonderful music.
TA: What’s one thing you ALWAYS pack when you travel?
Paul: A good camera, and usually two. I’m a longtime photo bug, and now that I’m a blogger, photos are a big part of my site. They’re a powerful way to make the reader feel as if he or she is right there with me on my travels. And sometimes my “Photo of the week” posts are more popular than the destination pieces I spend much more time on.
TA: If you could only give a traveler one piece of advice, what would it be?
Paul: Just go. Today, travel is easier and more rewarding than it’s ever been in the history of mankind. If you have a passport and a credit card, you can literally go anywhere on earth at will; there’s a plane leaving in a few hours. As well, since more and more people are travelling, it’s best to go now, before the places you want to see have changed — tourism does have an effect on places. I strongly believe that travel combats the prejudice and insular thinking that plagues the world, and gives rise to the kind of isolationism we’re seeing these days.
TA: What are some of your favorite travel blogs and communities?
Paul: I’m a longtime member of two Twitter chats: The Road Less Travelled (#TRLT) and Culturetrav chat (#Culturetrav). They’re a great way to connect with other travellers and find out what’s going on.
TA: What would be your #1 recommendation for a place to travel in 2019?
Paul: Southeast Asia. It’s an area that offers exotic cultures, friendly people, and beautiful scenery. I have a permanent soft spot for Malaysia, but Indonesia is an amazing country as well, and so is Vietnam.
TA: What are the top 3 websites you use for research/inspiration when planning a trip?
Paul: Nothing too esoteric, unfortunately. I use the Lonely Planet site for destination info, and Tripadvisor for first-hand experiences. However, I also use IntoHistory to find great places to stay; it lists historic hotels, houses and castles you can stay in all across Europe.
TA: Do you have any good airport or flight hacks for people traveling by plane?
Paul: On a long flight, consider paying for a comfort seat, or whatever the airline calls it. With airline seats getting tighter as people get bigger, you can save yourself a lot of grief by buying a little extra space. Also, check the flight details when you book — it’s not worth enduring the flight from Hell to save $50.
TA: What is the best piece of travel advice you’ve ever been given?
Paul: Relax, and go with the flow. No trip goes absolutely smoothly, and a bump in the road can sometimes take you somewhere fascinating.
TA: What’s a travel scam travelers should be wary of?
Paul: My best advice: beware when a local decides he wants to be your friend for no reason, and especially if he wants to take you somewhere, or buy you a drink. Other than a couple of pickpocketing incidents, I’ve never been scammed, but many people have tried it on.
TA: Which country has surprisingly good food?
Paul: Malaysia and Indonesia have some of the tastiest and healthiest cuisines in the world, filled with fruits and veggies and exotic flavours. I could eat it every day (though I lay off the fish-head curry).
TA: What was the most romantic place you ever visited with a partner?
Paul: Tahiti. It’s probably the most romantic place on earth, and one of the most beautiful. But bring lots of money — it’s definitely not cheap.
TA: What is the most beautiful and affordable city you’ve ever visited?
Paul: The most beautiful is Paris, but for beautiful and affordable, I’d pick Budapest. When the buildings along the riverfront are lit up at night, it’s magical.
TA: What’s one way people can get the most out of their cruise experience?
Paul: Get off the cruise line’s tour bus and do some exploring on your own. I always make a point of wandering through the town, or taking a local cab somewhere and talking to the driver. That said, be careful who you deal with, and where you wander — some ports are not entirely safe.
TA: Have you ever met someone while traveling who changed your life? Who were they?
Paul: I wouldn’t say anyone changed my life, but I met a fellow on a trip to Colombia who has become a friend and a travel companion. We’ve taken long road trips to see the wonders of Canada, and do a yearly birding trip to Point Pelee, Ontario.
TA: What are the best places to travel solo and why?
Paul: Again, I’d say Southeast Asia, since it’s cheap enough to book good hotels and not need to share expenses. However, I’ve gone many places solo and never had a problem. The most difficult thing is eating in fancy restaurants solo; the best remedy is to try to meet other solo travellers and make a dinner date.
TA: What’s something that other tourists do when traveling that drives you crazy and why?
Paul: Behave like the whole country is a beach resort, or a party venue. Have a little respect and put on some pants if you’re visiting the national cathedral.
TA: Which underrated destination deserves to be more famous?
Paul: Canada. It’s a huge, amazing country with great things to see from coast to coast. From Newfoundland to British Columbia, it’s all worth a visit.

Sven's road to Madrid
by MATT LAWTON and IAN McGARRY, Daily Mail
Last updated at 12:03 24 March 2004
On a day when Ranieri admitted not even beating Arsenal in tonight's all-English Champions League clash is likely to save his job at Stamford Bridge, it emerged that the Spanish giants have already made a discreet approach to the England coach.
Eriksson met Madrid president Florentino Perez when he recently travelled to Spain to watch David Beckham play and it is also believed there has been subsequent contact between intermediaries.
The FA are still waiting for Eriksson to respond to the offer of a contract extension and last night they remained calm about an interview their highest-paid employee has given to the Spanish newspaper Marca.
In the article, which was published today, Eriksson says: "If I had been offered the chance to coach Real Madrid in the past, of course I would have been interested. But that is in the past."
Eriksson was identified as a possible recruit last summer and his name has remained high on a short list of candidates to replace Carlos Queiroz, who has come under intense pressure following a series of poor results and dressing-room unrest.
Real saw their lead in La Liga cut to one point last weekend by Valencia and Perez let it be known that only a league and Champions League double will save the former Manchester United assistant from the sack.
To add to his problems, Queiroz's overly-physical training regime has proved unpopular with the galacticos.
For Eriksson, an offer from Madrid would certainly be tempting. While he still has reservations about joining Chelsea when the public backlash is likely to be so fierce, a move to Spain would be free of such difficulties.
FA aware of Madrid threat
The FA see Madrid as a far greater threat to their hopes of keeping Eriksson, who is well aware of the uncertainty surrounding Queiroz. The FA could be made to sweat even longer on Eriksson's decision to sign a new contract which would run until 2008.
Chelsea will also be alarmed by the developments when they appear so determined to replace Ranieri at the end of the season.
Roma coach Fabio Capello and Milan's Carlo Ancelotti will move up Roman Abramovich's wishlist if Eriksson resists the Russian's advances, but whatever happens Ranieri seems doomed.
The Italian admitted as much yesterday as he tried to prepare his players for this evening's historic encounter at Stamford Bridge.
"Since the beginning," he said in reference to Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea last summer, "I put it in my mind that even if I win everything, I may still end up going home."
Ranieri, who has three more years left on his contract, said he had no plans to resign. "I am not stupid," he said. "I am not crazy. I'm like my boys. I am a gladiator. I'm enjoying this. Face to face. I have some of that English spirit."

Do you like movies which have a central unseen character? Perhaps one of the most famous film of this category is Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca (1940), whose title character dies before the film begins. However, her presence haunts the whole plot. There are other unseen title characters, like Edward, My Son (1949). Other movies have unseen narrators, like Addie Ross in A Letter to Three Wives (1949). Still other films feature minor characters who are discussed but never seen. If you’re like us, you’ve probably fell to wondering what those people look like and who would have played them if they were cast as onscreen presences.
We are planning on hosting a different blogathon in each month of 2021. Now, allow us to introduce our blogathon for May, The Mystery Character Blogathon! So far, the blogathon dates have always coincided with holidays. Keeping with this schedule, we are hosting The Mystery Character Blogathon on Memorial Day weekend, May 28-31, 2021. This theme has nothing in particular to do with Memorial Day or the month of May, but I’ve been wanting to host this blogathon for a while, so it seemed like a good opportunity, what with the alliteration of mystery and May. Also, participants may have more free time on a holiday weekend, so it’s a good time for some writing!
Possible topics in this blogathon are quite broad. Basically, you can write about any film which features an unseen character. Tell us why you love that the character is never seen, or tell us why you wish the character were revealed at least once! Reveal which actor or actress you think would have or should have played the part. Explain how you imagine showing the mystery character would have changed the whole film. Would it have been an improvement, or would it have ruined the movie?
The possibilities are endless! Let your imagination run wild. To give you a few ideas, I’ll tell you some of my mystery character castings. If Aunt Roberta were an onscreen role in Lovely to Look At (1952), as she is in the original, Roberta (1935), she would surely have been played by Ethel Barrymore. If Tracy Lord’s (Katherine Hepburn) brother, Julius, were seen rather than just discussed in The Philadelphia Story (1940), Lew Ayres would have been perfect in the role, reprising his brother role from Holiday (1938). While these are all classic, Code films, you can write about a movie from any era!
If you would like to join this celebration of secretive cinema, please scroll down to review the rules:
- There is no limit on duplicates, since we are interested in different opinions.
- Writers can contribute as many articles as they choose.
- If you are interested in joining, please leave a comment below and specify your topic.
- If you want to join this blogathon but don’t have a website, you can still join! Email us your article, and we will publish it here on PEPS for you.

Out doing press for the new Sony thriller “Vantage Point,” Dennis Quaid talked to Collider a little about his involvement in the upcoming “G.I. Joe” feature:
He describes his character of General Hawk as “a cross between Chuck Yeager and Sgt. Rock and maybe a naïve Hugh Hefner thrown in there.” He’s also honest about the film’s tone – “It’s a big popcorn type of tent pole action movie that…it’s not deep… General Hawk’s aide to camp is a Victoria Secret supermodel so how serious can it be?”
What about the story? “It’s set a little bit in the future, and in a way the Joe’s are an international sort of special forces type of group that mainly fights these terrorists groups that spring up. It’s really more like James Bond than it would be about…yeah it’s more like James Bond. And with the group being Spectre – there is this evil mastermind who is behind it. I think it’s going to be more like the old James Bond’s – like the Dr. No’s – where the mastermind has his own private island and all these people are wearing matching coveralls.”
Quaid confirms that he’s already begun gym training for the shoot. He’ll shoot two weeks of work spread over a month for this film, and has signed for three ‘Joe’ pictures should it be successful.


The Whirlwind is the Space Marines main Artillery unit. The Whirlwind sacrifices the penetration of its artillery in exchange for being the fastest artillery unit in the imperial arsenal, in addition that it can fire two artillery strikes on the same turn.
Unit Card Edit
High speed missile launching platform.
Unit Image Edit
Unit Stats Edit
Departmento Munitorium Directory Prime
Index: Specialist armored vehicle
Classification: Whirlwind (Rhino variant)
Offensive Capability: Multiple warhead rocket delivery system
Defensive Capability: armor plate
Functionality: High speed missile launching platform.
Move - 16
Close Assault - 0
Cost - 120 Points (40 Individually)
Armor - 76/58/40
- Fires two artillery salvos per attack instead of only a single attack like all other imperial artillery.
- Has the highest movement speed of all imperial artillery units.
- Has the best armor of all artillery units
- Unit cost falls in line with other artillery units.
- Its attack has significantly less penetration than the other two artillery units.
- Extra speed and armor are a moot point for a artillery unit that should be near the edge of the battlefield.
- Range - 60
- ROF - 4
- Penetration - 40
- Accuracy - 40%
ROF = Rate Of Fire. Amount of possible infantry kills per attack.
Battle Tactics & Viability Edit
- The Whirlwind is a dubious artillery unit. The main selling point of the whirlwind is that it gets two attacks in a row instead of one, increasing the odds of it hitting a target.
- The Whirlwind suffers from having significantly less penetration than all other artillery and even that of standard battle tanks. The whirlwind seems more effective against entrenched infantry positions than other artillery.
- Ultimantly the worse off penetration means this unit will struggle in terminating enemy armored targets.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter and pianist Grayson Hugh, along with his wife and harmony singer Polly Messer, will be returning to East Lyme Public Library for another concert on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at 2pm!
Here's what Tara Borden, Associate Director of East Lyme Library, had to say of their first concert on October 20, 2020: "I was in Jr. High in 1989 when Grayson’s hit "Talk It Over" came out and whenever I hear it now it instantaneously takes me back to the 8th grade. I would have MTV on as I did my homework and would take a break to dance/sing along with the lyrics: ‘Harsh words are spoken, promises are broken, old wounds are open and love walks out that door.’ Fast forward three decades and imagine my delighted surprise when I found myself in the position to host and introduce this recording artist and his wife at a live show! I didn't realize how much I had been missing live music until I heard Grayson's soulful voice and Polly's beautiful harmonies at the concert they did just two nights ago for East Lyme Public Library. They definitely brought back the good feelings of listening to great music performed live, and by the original singer no less! I can’t think of two artists better suited to inaugurate the return of our library’s Live Music Series - and bring it back from the bleak silence of the shutdown back into the bright musical light!” - Tara Borden, Associate Director, East Lyme Public Library, October 22, 2021
You don't want to miss this chance to see these world class artists performing the songs of Grayson Hugh in this intimate library setting. Hugh's music has been called “a soul/rock stew with a dash of blues and a pinch of country" (Stone Phillips, The Today Show) and "a veritable cyclone of soul, drawing its energy from such diverse regions as the swampland funk of Professor Longhair, the testifying soul of Ray Charles, with the rhythms of African drumming and American bluegrass thrown in the mix." - Benny Metten, Ctrl. Alt. Country
Grayson Hugh is known for his global radio hits (“Talk It Over”, “Bring It All Back”, “Soul Cat Girl”) and for his songs featured in films “Thelma and Louise” and “Fried Green Tomatoes”. They will also be performing songs from Hugh's acclaimed 2010 release “An American Record” and from "Back To The Soul", which was in the running for a 2015 Grammy in the Best Americana Album category.
Admission is free and open to the public. This concert is made possible by The Friends of East Lyme Library.

Before being elected to the U.S. Senate, Ted Cruz served as Solicitor General for the State of Texas and then worked in private practice for the Houston law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP. At Morgan Lewis, he led the firms U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.
As Solicitor General for the State of Texas, Cruz argued before the Supreme Court nine times, winning five cases and losing four. Cruz authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, making him one of the highest-profile lawyers from the state of Texas in the past quarter century.
In 2009 and 2010, Ted Cruz briefly considered a bid for state attorney general when the incumbent Attorney General Greg Abbott, who hired Cruz as Solicitor General, decided to run for re-election. During that time, he represented corporate clients for Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
Before serving as Solicitor General, Ted Cruz joined the George W. Bush presidential campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising the 2000 Bush-Cheney team on a wide range of policy and legal matters. After President Bush took office, Cruz served as an Associate Deputy Attorney General in the U.S. Justice Department and as the Director of Policy Planning at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Thanks to his incredible skills as an author, writer Stephen King has had dozens of feature films and TV series adapted from his novels and short stories. Given the sheer amount of adaptations, clearly they can't all be masterpieces. When speaking with Yahoo! Movies, King revealed that he wished audiences had been kinder to Dreamcatcher and Cell.
"There are ones that I frankly don't understand why they reviewed so badly," King explained about the poor reviews.
"I guess I've got to go back and look at Dreamcatcher, which has just been kind of lashed. I'd like to take a look at that again. And I frankly never understood why people didn't like Cell, because to me that was a terrific, eccentric movie with some really eccentric, strange performances in it. John Cusack at his best, and Samuel L. Jackson is terrific. So I would say Cell for sure; Dreamcatcher, I don't know, I better look at it again," he added.
Dreamcatcher currently sits at 30% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, with Variety calling it an "overlong and unwieldy grab-bag of vintage monster-movie elements" while L.A. Weekly claims that in the film "both character and metaphor have gone to the dogs, leaving a slew of fart and burp jokes."
Cell, unfortunately, fared even more poorly, sitting at only 11% on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Not a polished work of filmmaking. Some of the nighttime scenes are so poorly lit it's difficult to tell what's happening. The editing is ragged and adds to the confusion. More than a few of the supporting performances are embarrassingly amateurish," The Chicago Sun-Times said of the film.
"I thought it was OK at the time. But I'm one of these people where the worst movie I ever saw, I thought it was f**king great! So you know, even things like [1953's] Robot Monster when I was a kid, I thought, 'Oh man, that's great!' " King said of the film.
Based on the early positive responses to the latest adaptation of IT, King should feel confident that fans will connect with it in ways they didn't connect with his other works. Even King himself was surprised with how much he liked it, having seen the film twice to take it all in.0comments
"I'm sure my fans will enjoy the movie. I think they're going to really enjoy the movie. I think that some of them will go back two or three times to actually savor the thing. I went back and saw it a second time and felt that I was seeing things the second time through that I missed the first time," the author revealed in a recent featurette.
It opens in theaters Friday, September 8.

Here you can learn how to use
midi like a band
Most film and TV scores, as well as much popular recorded music is written and performed using electronic keyboards and other MIDI-equipped musical instruments. (Thanks to advances in digital sampling and synthesis technologies, the orchestra playing behind that big-screen block buster is more likely to be the product of MIDI than a real orchestra with dozens of acoustic instruments.)
MIDI is also easy to find in the world of personal computing. If your computer has a sound card, it also has the ability to play MIDI files (using a built-in hardware or software synthesizer that responds to MIDI messages), and with an adapter can also be connected to other MIDI-equipped products, allowing you to take advantage of various computer programs that helps you learn, play, create and enjoy music.

Play with «a band»
Learning to play a musical instrument is one of the most rewarding things people can do. But why play by yourself when you can play along with a band? Standard MIDI Files are available for many popular songs, and when used with a personal computer or digital piano make it possible to have an entire backing band play along with you at whatever speed (tempo) and in any pitch (key) you desire. MIDI files are perfect for practicing with, as well as for performing when additional musicians are not available.
Some of these functions indicated in the status byte are Sign On, Sign Off, System Exclusive (SysEx), Patch Convert, and so on. Depending on the status byte, a number of different byte patterns will follow. The Sign On status byte tells the MIDI device to begin sounding a notice. Two additional bytes are required, a pitch byte, which tells the MIDI device which notice to play, and a velocity byte, which tells the device how loud to play the sign. Much though not all MIDI devices recognize the velocity byte, it is still required to complete the Sign On transmission.
The command to stop playing a notice is not part of the Notice On command; instead there is a separate Notice Off command. This command also requires two additional bytes with the same functions as the Notice On byte. Most mankind are confused at first by this approach to Sign On and Notice Off, however after further thought they realize the necessity of the structure.

A Twitter user has created a startling graph showing that, on the current trajectory, cycle use in central London will soon overtake use of private motor vehicles. @lastnotlost created the graph using official figures contained in today’s release of Transport Statistics Great Britain 2017.
The statistics compendium from the Department for Transport is released annually. The graph was produced with raw data contained in TSGB0106 – “People entering central London during morning peak” – and shows that since 2003 car use has been in a steep decline and cycle use has been on a corresponding growth spurt. Use of taxis and motorcycles have also reduced, but at a much slower rate.


The Bihar government has said that it would provide money to transgender members who opt for sex change operations and also jail from six months to two years to those who refused to give them house on rents or violate their rights.
The State government also formed a transgender welfare board to look into their problems and protect their rights.
“If someone [from the transgender community] undergoes sex change operation, then the Bihar government would give ₹1.5 lakh”, announced Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi while inaugurating Kinnar Mahotsva, an annual cultural programme of the transgender community in Patna on July 14.
Mr. Modi also said that those who refused to give their house on rent to transgenders, did disparity in providing them health-related facilities or violated their rights could get a jail sentence ranging from six months to two years.
“The newly formed Bihar Rajya Kinnar Kalyan Board (Bihar State Transgender Welfare Board) will also look into facilities being provided to the members of this community in other States...so that they too could be given to them here in Bihar,” Mr. Modi said.
Wearing rainbow bands on their wrists and faces, members of the transgender community participated in the “Bihar Pride Parade” in the city on the occasion.
“We should not be judged on the basis of our gender but on our credibility and capability,” said Dimple Jasmine, said co-organiser of the parade.
“Bihar is the first State which has started organising an annual festival of the transgender community Kinnar Mahotsva and brought the members on a platform…we want respect, security and employment to members of our community,” said organiser of the event Reshma Prasad.


Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center
In North Dakota, prairie larkspur occurs southeastward of a line from Emmons to Grand Forks Counties. Elsewhere, the plant ranges from Wisconsin south to Texas.
Prairie larkspur is one of our taller prairie perennials; plants over three feet tall are not uncommon. Each finely-divided leaf is at the end of a long stalk. The most striking feature of prairie larkspur is the flowering spike; it is about ten inches long and contains about 30 large, whitish-blue flowers. The back of each flower projects to the rear like the thin hind toe of a bird.
The juices or seeds of many of the Delphiniums were used by various native peoples worldwide as insecticides, internal parasiticides, and to control lice and ticks; the flowers were made into green or orange dyes. Seeds of prairie larkspur were used by the Kiowa tribe in their ceremonial rattles. Many western Delphiniums are believed to be poisonous to livestock, but our prairie larkspur seems to be fairly innocuous. Never abundant, the scattered plants are likely avoided by cattle.
Prairie larkspur is a member of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) which contains our crowfoots, meadow rues, anemones, columbine, and baneberry. The generic name Delphinium derived its name from the Latin for "dolphin," which the shape of the flowers somewhat resembles. The specific epithet virescens means "greenish" in botanical Latin. The plant was first described for science by Thomas Nuttall in his monumental Genera of North American Plants of 1818.

Scientist exposes threat to backyard bird diversity
A leading environmental scientist from the University of Western Sydney has revealed that parrots commonly thought of as native to Sydney, are in fact invaders from inland areas of Australia, and their growing presence is threatening our backyard bird diversity.
Associate Professor Shelley Burgin from the UWS College of Health and Science says this is due to the fashion of planting so called 'native' species in our backyards to encourage wildlife.
"Australians need to be aware that whilst they may think they are helping native wildlife and the environment by planting Australian native plants, there are many plants including cultivated hybrids that are not truly native to Sydney and its surrounding areas," Associate Professor Burgin says.
By planting colourful grevilleas and other cultivated hybrid species in areas where such plants would not naturally grow in the bush, Australians are changing the demographics of our wildlife and encouraging some bird species in favour of others.
"Australians are unwittingly impacting on the living patterns of some parrot species and threatening whole colonies of other species such as heath birds by planting native species that are not indigenous to their local area," Associate Professor Burgin says.
Associate Professor Burgin studied museum records from 100 years ago and found records of only two parrot species - the turquoise parrot and the ground parrot - and a variety of heath birds within 10kms of the Sydney GPO. These birds no longer live in the city because their habitat has been replaced.
Associate Professor Burgin says other parrot species have come to live in suburbia because a habitat and an abundance of supplementary food has been provided for them, both in private gardens and public areas such as parks. This has resulted in increasing numbers of species such as rainbow lorikeets.
"By encouraging these parrots, we now know that we may have inadvertently caused the extinction of native birds that once thrived in Sydney's bushland," Associate Professor Burgin says.
"Other common landscaping 'fashions' such as having an expansive green lawn, encourage magpies and aggressive noisy miners into our backyards - causing them to dramatically increase in numbers and further excluding or dominating other native birds."
While the suburbs of Sydney continue to expand and new housing developments flatten native scrubland and bush, Associate Professor Burgin urges developers and homeowners to think twice before choosing that colourful hybrid grevillea or that expansive green lawn, and instead consider replacing the bushland that has been lost with plants that are truly native to the area.

Seeking Sister Wife is returning for Season 4 in a few months and the cast has officially been revealed. Five couples will be joining the series, two from Season 3, and three newcomers. One of the new couples is the Epps family who seemingly has an interesting tale to tell. Nonetheless, they are still on the search for a new sister wife to add to the brood. So, more is there to know about Marcus, Taryn, and India Epps? Backwoods Barbi is spilling the tea.
Who Are The New Seeking Sister Wife Couples
Five couples are coming on for Season 4 of the hit TLC reality series. The first returning couple is Dannielle and Garrick Merrifield along with their potential Roberta from Brazil. Along with them are Tosha and Sidian Jones with their potential sister wife Arielle from the Phillippines. As for the new couples, it starts with Brenda and Steve Foley who are restarting their polygamist journey. The only catch is they have chosen someone much younger to court. Up next are Nick, April, and Jennifer Davis. They are quite unique in the sense that April and Jennifer are legally married. However, they have taken Nick’s last name to unify the family.
Now the Davis family is looking to add on a third wife. Will they be successful? Finally, there is the Epps family of Marcus, Taryn, and India. At this point, they are looking to add on a third wife, as well. Yet, according to the press release, the throuple has some issues they need to address. This begs the question if this is the right time for them to add on a new wife. There is little known about them but thanks to Backwoods Barbi, she is giving some insight into the newbies.
Meet The Epps Family
With Seeking Sister Wife returning in around two months, fans want to know all they can about the new cast. Backwoods Barbi has the dish about the Epps family. Apparently, they live in Miami and are social media influencers with an emphasis on fashion who love hashtagging. BB claims she is getting a “suspicious” vibe from the family. She believes they are bragging a bit too much on social media and are pushing their achievements. However, they then add in a motivational speech to boot. It appears to her to be a facade of sorts. She wants to know the skeletons in the closet because nobody is perfect.
BB is also questioning if all of the wives are truly on board with adding a new wife. Yet, India admits she loves culinary cuisine and has just recently married Marcus. She was prepping to go into planning mode but BB is sensing some Clark family vibes from last season. They had one legal wife and a much younger sister wife who felt like she was the maid/nanny of the house. All she wanted was to live her own life as well as be with the “king,” Jarod. It ended in disaster. Fans responded to BB and are somewhat skeptical but are here for the tea.
Are you excited for Season 4 of Seeking Sister Wife and to meet the Epps family? Let us know in the comments below.

The year 2023 marks a significant milestone for Telenisa, a legal hotline service under Sisters in Islam (SIS) as it celebrates 20 years in service! Since 2003, Telenisa has helped 15,000 women by providing free legal consultation on Islamic Family Law and Syariah Criminal Offences Law.
Telenisa’s journey began when Sisters in Islam (SIS) was given a weekly column in Utusan Malaysia, allowing them to address the overwhelming questions and inquiries regarding Islamic Family Law. Recognising the need to offer a specialised platform for Muslim women to know their rights and seek advice on Syariah Court procedures and processes, Telenisa was established to provide free legal consultation on Islamic Family Law. This was extended to Syariah Criminal Offences law, much later.
Since its inception, Telenisa has evolved and expanded its services beyond telephone and face-to-face consultations by providing accessibility through emails and Facebook messaging responding to the needs of the clients for convenience, safety and comfort. WhatsApp messaging was introduced at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown and video calls consultation was introduced subsequently to ensure continuity of the service for those seeking legal assistance.
This milestone is also celebrated with the launch of Telenisa: Statistics and Findings 2022, a booklet published annually since 2016 that reveals insights on issues women experienced with matters pertaining to Islamic Family Law.
In 2022, Telenisa showed an upward trend in the number of clients with a total of 431 clients, 148 of them are returning clients and 283 new clients. This trend proves that Telenisa continues to be a relevant source to those who seek information and advice regarding Islamic Family Law.
Highlights from Telenisa: Statistics and Findings 2022:
Telenisa: Statistics and Findings 2022 report sheds light on three critical issues regarding Islamic Family Law:
- Urgent need for a support counter at the Syariah Court: Out of a total of 431 clients, 99% of them approached Telenisa without legal representation, with 81% of them requiring legal aid and legal advice from Telenisa. Out of the total number of Telenisa clients, 71% were those from the B40 group thus, indicating the pressing need for more support for them to get access to justice. One example is the need for a support counter at the Syariah Court operated by trained officers to provide guidance to the general public in finalising the documents required for court. This is to ensure a friendly, comfortable and efficient experience to those who need to go through the Syariah Court procedures.
- Issue of maintenance: Inquiries about maintenance claims rose even towards the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, with 66% of Telenisa’s clients seeking guidance on the procedures to make a maintenance claim. About 50% of the maintenance cases were related to insufficient maintenance. The percentage of unemployed husbands rose to 28% in 2022 as compared to 10% in 2021. This has also caused a rise in the percentage of wives not receiving maintenance from 1% in 2021 to 3% in 2022. The issue of unresolved maintenance will directly affect the family’s economy and daily lives. Hence, Telenisa emphasises the urgent need for the government to embark on a long-term study to understand the consequences of insufficient maintenance on families and what are the policies necessary to be in place and implemented to get them out from the cycle of poverty. Additionally, policy initiatives should be introduced at the grassroots and community levels to address social issues and economic hardships.
- Child custody disputes and child’s nationality issue: While child custody disputes revealed a decline to 0% in 2022 from 1% in 2021 and 52% in 2020, however, parental child abduction rose from 9% in 2020 to 29% in 2021 and slightly subsided to 24% in 2022. From this data, parents seem to take a riskier approach which violates rights and laws. Furthermore, the report also highlighted a new issue in 2022 which concerns the registration of a child’s nationality with 14% of cases. The issue of a child’s nationality needs to be addressed urgently to safeguard children born in Malaysia and children with one Malaysian parent, regardless of their place of birth, to ensure they have the right to a Malaysian citizenship.
For 20 years, Telenisa has remained dedicated and steadfast to providing assistance to those in need and highlighting lived realities that have been affecting society. The data collected and published give a better understanding of the many challenges that spouses face in a marriage thus, becoming an advocacy channel for policymakers. Telenisa takes pride in this achievement and continues to strive to provide the best for those in need.
Sisters in Islam (SIS) expresses profound gratitude to all those who have supported Telenisa’s services and contributed to the preparation and publication of the Telenisa Statistics and Findings 2022 booklet over the last two decades. We extend our deepest thanks over the years to the Australian High Commission, Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, Friedrich Neuman Foundation, Lee Foundation, Sigrid Rausing Trust, and, most especially to Yayasan Sime Darby. We would also like to extend our thank you to the Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Legal Aid Centres through their Chambering Internship programme, for their invaluable support. Last but finally not least, we also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the generous Malaysian public and individuals who have donated, enabling Telenisa to serve as a reliable source of information for those seeking guidance to claim their rights in the family.

Another Summer Threat to Dogs and Pets
With the weather getting nicer and nicer all over, many people are opening their windows to let the fresh air in but this can pose a threat to our dogs and pets that people don’t think about too often. Screens which let the air in and keep bugs out may not offer adequate protection to keep our pet inside. A scratching dog or cat can potentially rip open a screen and a running dog could possible bust through. While this may not necessarily pose too much of a hazard with a low placed window, unless the pet is small, a second floor or higher window could be a death sentence.
The dog in this story, who fell from a second story apartment window in Boston, was lucky!
Dog Falls From Second Story Window – A South End dog survived a fall out of the front window of a second-story apartment at 435 Shawmut Ave. on June 18, but not without a few cuts and bruises.
Police responded to the incident after a caller who happened to be walking through Blackstone Square at around 1:40 p.m. saw the dog, a medium-sized Rhodesian ridgeback-terrier mix named Brody, fall through the window screen and land on the sidewalk in front of the building. According to the police report, the caller and several other witnesses were attending to the dog, which was bleeding from the chin and seemed to have injured its hind legs, when police arrived.
The Animal Rescue League’s (ARL) rescue services responded to the scene soon after with a veterinarian. Christopher Smalley, spokesperson for the League, said that the rescue team performed an on-site assessment and found no life-threatening injuries, but did transport the dog, in ARL’s specially outfitted animal ambulance, to Angell Memorial Animal Hospital at the request of his owner.
Despite the happy ending, Smalley cautioned pet owners that an open window can be a tempting and dangerous thing for a pet. “A dog can push through a screen, if given enough speed or pressure,” he said. “Especially where it’s hot these next few days, people should just be a little aware of their surroundings open windows and screens where an animal may be able to get out.”

Pharmacodynamic effects have been additional assessed by moni toring decreased metabolic action following IV infusion of dinaciclib utilizing FDG PET CT Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries scans, performed inside 14 days just before the very first dose of dinaciclib and on day 22 of cycle 1, unless of course remedy was delayed. Metabolic action data had been obtained for exploration use only and were not utilised for clinical management of subjects. A 30% reduction in posttreatment standardized uptake value, in as much as 6 lesions prospectively identified with the start of treatment method since the most representative meta bolically lively web sites of ailment, was utilised to find out responders and nonresponders to dinaciclib treatment. Dinaciclib plasma concentrations were analyzed on days one and 15 of cycle 1 just before the start off of infusion, and at 1 hour, two hrs, 2 hrs 15 minutes, two hours 30 minutes, three hours, three hrs 30 minutes, four hrs, 5 hrs, 6 hrs, and eight hours following the start of your infusion.
Extra blood samples the original source for PK analysis had been obtained on days 2 and sixteen of cycle 1, on day 8 of cycle one, and on day one of cycle 2, before and 2 hrs following the get started in the infusion. Plasma concentrations of dinaciclib had been determined, as previously described, making use of validated large functionality liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometry approaches. Briefly, plasma samples were fortified with an internal normal dinaciclib in 1 1 ratio, loaded right into a Water Oasis MCX Reliable Phase Extraction plate, washed with phosphoric acid methanol, and eluted with methanol ammonium hydroxide. The eluent was evaporated and the extract injected right into a LC MS MS.
The retention time for dinaciclib as well as inner regular was 2. 5 minutes and detection was performed working with a Sciex API 5000 triple quadrupole LC MS MS procedure which has a turbo ion spray supply. Important pharmacokinetic parameters evaluated for dinaciclib in cluded maximum observed plasma concentration, time of highest selleckchem natural product library plasma concentration, area below the plasma concentration time curve from timezero to infinityterminal phase half existence, clearance, volume of distribution, and accu mulation ratio. Tumor response assessment Antitumor activity of dinaciclib on strong tumors was evaluated applying CT or magnetic resonance imaging scans and Response Evaluation Criteria In Reliable Tumors suggestions.
Computed tomography or MRI scans had been obtained inside of 4 weeks just before the commence of treatment method with dinaciclib, and were repeated soon after every 2 cycles and at the poststudy evaluation performed four weeks after the start off with the final cycle. Statistical analyses Demographic and baseline variables for every subject had been tabulated and sum marized employing descriptive statistics. No inferential ana lysis of security information was planned. subjects reporting any AEs, the occurrence of particular AEs, and discontinuation resulting from AEs have been summarized making use of descriptive statistics. For%BrdU incorporation, the re sponse charge and its 95% two sided exact self confidence inter val had been calculated if 6 or a lot more responders had been observed amongst 10 subjects. a level at which the decrease limit from the two sided 95% precise CI was expected to become better than 25%, permitting inference with substantial confi dence the metabolic inhibition charge was greater than 25%. For every dose level, therapy impact on inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation was evaluated by evaluating the pretreatment using the posttreatment%BrdU incorp oration on days 1 and 15 at specified posttreatment time points utilizing a paired t check.

Leo Eliezer, DMD. ICOI Diplomate. ADIA Diplomate
Dr. Leo Eliezer founded Jones Bridge Dental Care in 1996, going from zero to in-excess of 9,000 patients by 2016. His passion for cosmetic and implant dentistry has allowed him to give people beautiful smiles and restore function in missing teeth.
“I am proud to have served patients in our community for over 30 years. My staff and I are committed to providing dentistry, along with technology, in a caring, relaxing, safe environment, building lifelong relationships among our community and patients.”
“My mission in dentistry is to provide the best quality of dentistry, best customer service, and strive to be the best team in Atlanta.

He did his residency in periodontal and prosthodontic dentistry in the USSR and practiced as a general dentist from 1980 to 1990.
After 10 years of practicing in the USSR, Dr. Leo and his family moved to the United States. In August of 1992, he was accepted to Tufts University School of Dentistry in Boston, MA, for advanced dental study. He completed the four-year program in two and a half years, graduating in November of 1994.
Continuing Education & Professional Memberships
Dr. Leo is a registered member of the Academy of General Dentistry, Dental Organization of Conscience Sedation (DOCS), Academy of Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry and Alpha Omega Fraternity. In 1988, Dr. Leo penned a chapter in the Book of Periodontics regarding pre and post-periodontal surgery with a unique, red laser hand piece. He has also written numerous articles from 1985-2008 on oral health for various newsletters.

The number of areas controlled or influenced by the Afghan government is the last of the remaining publicly available indicators by which members of the congress ... and the American public can judge how successful 16-year US efforts to ensure security in Afghanistan were- said the Special Inspector General of the United States for the reconstruction of Afghanistan (SIGAR) John Sopko, reports Stars and Stripes.
The Sopko report contains information that the US Department of Defense recommended that SIGAR not disclose to the citizens of the country information about the situation in Afghanistan, marked as “unclassified”. According to Sopko, this fact is "of great concern."
In January, the commander of the US and NATO troops in Afghanistan, General John Nicholson, said that the Taliban did not sit down at the negotiating table with the Afghan government, as he was confident of his victory.
A few days before the inspector's report was released, the Pentagon stated that, as of October 2017, "approximately 56% of the 407 areas of Afghanistan are under government control or influence, in 30% of areas the situation is controversial, approximately 14% areas are under control or influence of the rebels ". This, at first glance, positive report, as the newspaper noted, ceases to be such, if we compare it with similar data from the military for November 2015 of the year. Then the Afghan government controlled 72% of the country, 21% was considered controversial, and Taliban-controlled 7%.
According to the newspaper, since 2002, the United States spent $ 74,8 billion on training and providing the Afghan army. Last year, US President Donald Trump announced plans to increase the US military presence in Afghanistan and the cost of military operations in that country.

ADRIAN Purtell says the chance to reach 100 games at Bradford made his decision to stay in the UK even easier.
The Albury-raised rugby league star has inked a two-year deal at the Bulls, extending his stay at the Championship club until at least the end of the 2017 season.
It was a contract extension Purtell negotiated himself.
“Having a player agent since I was 18, I never really knew what went into trying to sort something out,” the 30-year-old said.
“To be able to sign a two-year deal at this stage in my career is something I’m very grateful for.
“To be able to get the opportunity to play for such a big club and hopefully reach 100 games for them next season is something that will be pretty special to me.”
Purtell joined Bradford in 2011 after more than 100 NRL games for Canberra Raiders and Penrith Panthers.
But it’s been a rocky road for the centre.
Purtell suffered a heart attack after a game in 2012, but heroically returned to the field 10 months later.
“It’s been a crazy four years,” Purtell said.
“Heart problems, relegation, fighting for promotion now, but I have enjoyed every minute of it.”
Purtell already has one eye on the future – he’s studying a business and sports management degree.
But he’s still got unfinished business at Bradford.
“We are hoping to get promoted as you want to play against the best competition and test yourself in the Super League,” Purtell said.
“The opportunity to return to the NRL has passed me, so I will see out my professional days over here.”

The federal government's department of Aboriginal Affairs (AANDC) has informed 133 Ontario First Nations that it is cutting the National Child Benefit Reinvestment fund by over 50 per cent. The cut is scheduled to take effect in the current proposal cycle, 2014-15.
The cut was communicated April 22, 2014 in a letter sent by Peter Jones, AANDC Ontario Region. In this letter, the federal government notes the "growing cost of elementary-secondary education, Ontario Works, and other supports". $6M represents a cut of over 50 per cent from current funding levels. This has been confirmed with the AANDC Ontario Regional Office.
The tone of the letter suggests that First Nations children should be happy they are getting anything at all, "as poverty reduction remains an important goal."
WHAT PROGRAMS ARE AFFECTED?
The funding being cut supports programs in all First Nations communities that help First Nations children living in poverty. School nutrition programs, day care spaces, foodbanks, and other supports will be affected. AANDC lists 5 types of eligible programs:
Child Nutrition -- activities that improve the health and well-being of children by providing nutritional supports (e.g., school meal programs) and education to parents on family nutrition and meal preparation
Childcare -- so that low-income parents/guardians are able to gain access to day care spaces or have their share of child care costs reduced
Support for Parents -- activities that help parents/guardians support their children's healthy social development (e.g., parenting programs, drop-in centres)
Home-to-Work Transition -- for supports that reduce barriers to employment (e.g., transportation, uniforms), or activities such as training to increase employability (e.g., life-skills, summer work programs for youth).
Cultural Enrichment -- programming that supports the teaching of traditional culture
FIRST NATIONS CHILDREN NEED MORE HELP, NOT LESS
Last year, an independent study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and Save the Children Canada based on Statistics Canada figures found that status First Nations children in Ontario -- those who would be affected by these cuts -- have a staggering poverty rate of 40 per cent, compared to 15 per cent for non-Indigenous children.
In other words, 2 out of 5 First Nations children in Ontario are living in poverty, and the First Nations child poverty rate in Ontario is over 2.5 times the non-Indigenous child poverty rate.
WHY IT MATTERS
The programs being cut are modest -- perhaps, in one sense, just a drop in the bucket. But they make a real difference to the children they serve. School food programs, day care programs, parenting programs, foodbanks and other supports are the last safety net for families with little to go on.
These programs will not survive, or will be severely scaled back, if the federal government follows through with these cuts.
WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
The reason given in the AANDC letter is that instead of responding to fully predictable cost increases in other programs with actual budget increases, AANDC is taking money away from poor children to pay those costs.
Education costs are increasing due to the historic legacy of deep underfunding in education and recent new funding announcements. Ontario Works costs are increasing because more First Nations are delivering the "employment assistance" component of this program, which helps social assistance recipients build skills and find jobs.
The federal government made a big deal about both these announcements: Income Assistance and Education. But how much of the funding is really new, and how much is coming off the backs of other cuts to First Nations -- like the cuts to the NCBR program to help poor children in Ontario?
First Nations child poverty has not been improved. So why is funding to support those children being slashed?

Send this to a friend
Construction of the $129 million Dunnhumby Centre took a big step last week with the addition of a crane at the south side of the site.
Dunnhumby Centre is being built at the northwest corner of Fifth and Race streets in downtown Cincinnati. A massive crane was erected to its full height, showing the full height of the structure going forward.
This week, foundation footings were formed, laid with reinforcing steel and filled with concrete.
In a couple weeks, the north tower crane will be installed. Earlier this week, temporary electric for the tower crane was installed.
Exterior renderings of Dunnhumby Centre have not be released yet.
In addition to housing DunnhumbyUSA’s 280,000-square-foot headquarters, the building will contain a 1,000-space parking garage, about 30,000 square feet of retail space.
The Cincinnati Center City Development Corp., or 3CDC and DunnhumbyUSA are serving as the developers for the project. Turner Construction Co. is the builder for the project, with Gensler Architects serving as the architect.
Construction started in January 2013 and is expected to be complete in December 2014.

Here is another popular open-face sandwich that can be eaten warm or cold. It is a baked mixture of liver, pork or kalve, some times both, lard, egg, onions, milk, anchovy, salt and pepper. It is baked in a form, but unlike French patéer or terrine, spreadable making it very popular with children. If it is difficult to get ahold of lard, pig’s lard, ask you butcher. If they have pork, they will have lard. They may even give it you for free. If not, it doesn’t cost much.
Warm Liver Paté with Mushrooms and Bacon. Makes 8-10 portions
l1 lb. pork or calf liver, 7 oz. lard, 2 tbsp.flour, 1 cup milk or light cream, 1 egg, 1 coarsely chopped onion, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, a pinch of cloves, 1 oz. anchovy.
Preheat the oven to 425°.
To make liver paté, mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor until the liver is reduced to a coarse purée. Pour this mixture into a greased oven-proof terrine. Cover with lightly oiled foil and bake for 60 minutes, removing foil the last 20 minutes. Let cool, wrap in foil and freeze.
On the day you want to eat the liver paté, take it out of the freezer a few hours before you want to serve it. Heat the liver paté in the Micro oven a few minutes or in the oven 10-15 minutes.
Mushrooms and Bacon
12 pieces of bacon, 10 oz. thinly sliced mushrooms, 8-10 slices of dark rye bread or if you prefer, white bread
To make the bacon and mushrooms, fry bacon on a warm pan. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Lightly fry mushrooms in the bacon fat.
To assemble, spread liver paté on bread (no butter necessary) and place mushrooms and bacon on top of liver paté. Serve this dish warm. Or let each guest serve themselves and build their own open-face sandwich.


A look at which medical device companies have had the most patents issued over the past two decades.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a record number of patents for medical devices in 2012 (the latest year for which statistics are available), and the growth rate for medtech patents is double that of other industries.
MD+DI editorial advisory board member David Dykeman, a patent attorney with law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP who will be speaking about intellectual property at the upcoming MD&M East conference in New York City, says the medtech patent gold rush is on and smart companies should stake their claims now.
But some are already well ahead in the patent race. According to the USPTO, these 10 companies had the most medtech patents granted from 1993 through 2012:
