California is one of the most protective states when it comes to its workers. It expands on all the protected classes the Federal government lists. It ensures that there are options available for those who have been discriminated against or were targeted. One such consequence at work is the intentional infliction of emotional distress. California Intentional & Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress laws dictate that victimized employees can pursue compensation from their employers if they were harassed to the point that they would suffer emotional distress. However, it is not easy to win these types of claims, especially if you have never taken any legal action before. This is where the California Labor Law Employment Attorneys Group comes in. We have years of experience with such claims and know the bet methods to succeed.
What is Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress?
The intentional infliction of emotional distress is illegal in California. It is defined as conduct carried out by an employer that is outrageous, and it must either be intentional or carried out with reckless disregard or apathy as to the likelihood that the employee would suffer serious emotional distress.
The behavior of your employer must have been completely inappropriate and out of line and would be considered out of line regardless of context. For example, he could have made a constant litany of racist remarks or insults about a deceased spouse in order to anger you. It must have been deliberately delivered to cause severe emotional trauma, or indifferent to the chance of the trauma occurring. It can also be the true reason you suffered such distress.
It is important to understand these characteristics and differences. If you were simply insulted at work or your employer made an offensive statement about a belief you hold, you will not be able to sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress. The law does not protect against these statements in this way.
Identifying the behavior as outrageous can be done by showing a pattern of behavior or repeated events. It is less likely for a claim to succeed if the incident occurred only once. The employer may also have drastically abused his position of authority or used the threat of firing you to further control you. Employers may also use a victim’s emotional state of vulnerability, especially in the wake of certain tragic events, to cause the distress.
Examples of such behavior include:
- Routine humiliation and shaming for your age, weight, sexual orientation, gender, life circumstances, relationships, personal incidents, and more
- Targeted for vulgar words, harsh insults, acts of violence, threats, and more
- Constantly disciplined, demoted, made an example of, and used as a scapegoat for the shortcomings or failures of the company or department
- Victimized by slurs, hate speech, and more
You should not stand for such treatment at your job. The workplace is not a location where you should be targeted and made to feel unsafe. You can fight back with the help of our employment attorneys.
Emotional Distress of a Bystander
It is not always the case that victims have to be the targets of the actions, harassment, or cruelty. Bystanders who saw the incident occur can also be severely affected. This is most common when an individual is killed or dies in an accident, or, more rarely, with other acts of violence or hate. Bystanders must prove four points to sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress:
- The defendant negligently or intentionally caused injury or death to the victim
- The bystander was present at the location of the incident
- The bystander knew that the incident was resulting in injury or death
- The bystander sustained intense emotional distress from witnessing the incident unfold
This is not the most common claim present in the workplace, but it can still arise.
Proving Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress In The Workplace
In order to prove that you were intentionally inflicted with emotional distress, you will need evidence of the incidents. Acquiring this evidence can be hard at times, especially if you have to deliberately subject yourself to the harsh treatment for longer than you should. Some of the evidence you can acquire includes:
- Emails that contained harsh language directed to you or that were about you and sent to a large group
- Notes that were disparaging
- Voice memos or recordings, such as voicemails and meetings, that highlight the verbal abuse you suffered
- Security footage from the company showing the abuse happen (although this will be very difficult to get, as the company will not want to do anything or hand over anything that could potentially incriminate it and show its guilt)
- A journal that you kept detailing all the important facts about the abuse, from the people involved to the things that were said, the location and dates, and more
- Psychiatric testimony, if you needed to visit a psychiatrist or psychologist
- Coworker testimony if your coworkers saw the abuse or harassment happen (but this can also be very difficult to get, as many coworkers will not want to risk retaliation or being targeted themselves, and if they speak out against the company, there is no telling what they will go through or if they will even have a job anymore)
- Client or customer testimony if there were such individuals in the workplace when the abuse was occurring
- Proof of ways in which your work was disturbed, such as changed time cards, denials of vacation or sick time, demotions, negative performance reviews, and more
It is important that you first go to Human Resources to file a complaint, but this may not always be the wise choice. HR, after all, is there to protect the company, and a complaint may not make it very far.
Upon gathering all of your evidence, you should speak with an employer lawyer in Los Angeles who can hire handle your claim. We will be able to hire expert witnesses, organize your evidence, and prove that you were victimized at work.
Value Of An Emotional Distress Lawsuit
Your emotional distress lawsuit can be worth a fair amount of money, especially if it culminated in physical violence or assault. The insurance agent will measure the extent of the damages you suffered and make an offer. The problematic thing about emotional distress claims is that the insurance agent will not be able to quantify the damage, unlike with property damage or medical expenses. We will negotiate to ensure that your losses are fully recouped, including coverage for:
- Cost of counseling, psychiatric appointments, psychologist visits, and more
- Medication, prescriptions, and other drug usage
- Treatments, therapies, and more
- Pain and suffering damages for emotional anxiety, PTSD, fear, psychological scarring, mental trauma, and more
- Lost income, commissions, bonuses, tips, and other wages if you were unable to continue your work or if you were fired after the incident
- Reinstatement if you were wrongfully terminated
It is our goal to bring you the maximum settlement available under the law. We will not stop until we are satisfied with the results of your claim.
Statute of Limitations on Emotional Distress Claims
In California, you have 2 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit against your employer for infliction of emotional distress. If you do not file a claim within this time period, you will not be able to receive any compensation and will be barred from pursuing a claim in the future. You should always sue as quickly as possible after you have gathered your evidence to ensure that it does not get corrupted or lost, and so that all memories and accounts are still fresh and accurate.
The main reason that individuals fail to get the compensation they deserve is due to not acknowledging the statute of limitations. They often come to law firms too late or do not even know in the first place that there is a time limit.
If you have been abused at work and wish to file a claim citing emotional distress, come to our law offices today. We will ensure that your case is filed on time and that you miss out on no deadlines at all.

Dont get fooled by fake knock off version
Posted by Unknown on 30th Mar 2021
Dont buy the knock off MINI MOTO! BIG TOYS GREEN HAS THE REAL VERSION!
We purchased the Supercar xxl and its been the coolest toy ever! I have to say some of the best parts are me and my wife can ride with our toddler ( we both weigh under 200lbs) The quality is nice and its super quiet like our Tesla model S. We bought what we thought was this same model from mini motos and it was a disaster, It does not have the brushless motor, it does not half even a quarter the power of the Big Toys Green Version. Learn from our mistakes and go with big toys all the way!
So much fun for bigger kids
Posted by Andrea on 15th Aug 2020
My daughter wanted something in between a go kart or a quad and a kids car, this is perfect. Teaches her coordination and she has a blast. Can pick from a few different songs loaded into the stereo or connect via Bluetooth. Does need someone handy to tune the car a bit. Nothing major but it does need to be done. So happy with this purchase, pricy but worth it!
Fabulous product, would buy again
Posted by Unknown on 13th Aug 2020
Fabulous product, would buy again. Kind of pricey compared to other brands, but you get what you pay for. My kids have gone through several big box store brands of motorized vehicles including several repairs. This one is excessively better built, seems it will last much better. Also hold a kid much bigger and use will be much longer than PW. My four-year-old can drive it although can barely reach the pedals. Perfect size for my 6 year old and room to grow. I’m 6’1”, and can sit in it although it is snug. Working radio, headlights, doors are all bonuses that the kids love. 10 out of 10!! Thanks guys.
You get what you pay for!!!
Posted by Unknown on 15th Jun 2020
I got this for my 6 yr old son turning 7! He loves cars and this is just right for him to ride for years to come. Excellent packing easy video to follow to out the rest together.
Fast enough for Adults!!
Posted by Jordan on 7th Jun 2020
We got this for our 5 year old son, turning 6. When I received the package, it was easy to assemble and runs great! I was missing the steering wheel cap, but I sure they’ll send me one ASAP. My son absolutely loves “his” car!!! Thank you!! Wondering if we can modify it to 36 volts already Hahahha!!
Posted by Temaka on 11th Apr 2020
This car is my son speed, and he loves it! We are highly satisfied!!
We love this ride!
Posted by Stephanie Garcia on 19th Oct 2019
I say “we” because I drive it too! It’s a luxury car that is super fast. We love the Bluetooth and rubber wheels especially as we fly down the road (it’s so fast and smooth). My seven year old drives it daily. My only concern was the seats not really “clicking in place” as I thought they should. However, customer service is amazing and very helpful (and quick too). I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again! Like previous reviewer...all the neighborhood kids are adding this vehicle to their Christmas lists!
Posted by Unknown on 18th Jul 2019
Super cool toy, we just received it and all the neighbors are jealous, This thing blast past their john deere gator power wheels lol!
Very happy 10 stars!!!
Posted by Unknown on 18th Jul 2019
This is the most amazing thing ever! It larger than any power wheels, and so realistic with the real rubber tires and metal frame!! We love that we can ride with our 5 yr old it turns everyone's head at the local park!!! Thanks Big Toys
Posted by Kim S on 23rd Jun 2019
This is just as described my taller 6yr old loves this thing we have had it for a couple weeks and all is good, the real tires are so cool we get about 1.5 hours out of each battery, the extra battery is well worth it!!

It’s our third #MeatlessMonday meal of Earth Month and I’m SO excited to share this plant based magic with you.
I dreamt up these gorgeous curry chickpea salad wraps a couple of months back when I was craving fresh flavors and lots of crunchy veggies. These easy, vegan collard wraps were just the thing! I combined protein packed chickpeas with a rainbow of veggies, tossed them with my famous curry tahini dressing and wrapped it all together in a giant collard green leaf.
Double the veggies, double the fun!
Prep these beautiful wraps for a simple weekday lunch paired with your fav sides! May I suggest these paleo crackers? YUM.
What you’ll need to make these chickpea salad wraps
These vegan curry chickpea salad wraps use tons of fresh flavors and ingredients for an easy lunch or dinner you can feel good about. Here’s everything you’ll need to make them:
- For the chickpea salad: you’ll need a can of chickpeas, celery, shredded carrots, dried tart cherries, cilantro and some red onion.
- For the dressing: this tahini curry dressing is EVERYTHING. To make it you’ll need tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, curry powder, fresh ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if you like spice) and a little salt & pepper.
- For the wraps: you’re going to use four big collard green leaves, shredded red cabbage, some more cilantro and roasted cashews.
Customize your collard wraps
Because these chickpea collard wraps are mostly filled with colorful veggies, they’re also super easy to customize! Here are some suggestions:
- Choose your protein: these collard wraps would also be delicious with cooked, cubed tofu or even grilled chicken (if you’re not vegan).
- Change up your veggies: these wraps would also be delicious with bell pepper or very finely chopped brussels sprouts or broccoli.
- Use your fav dried fruit: I love dried cherries in this recipe, but dried cranberries, golden raisins or Medjool dates would all be delicious.
- Swap your dressing. If you’re not a big fan of curry flavor, this peanut dressing would also be delicious.
- Add some heat: I love adding a little spice to these chickpea salad wraps. Feel free to add some cayenne pepper to the dressing or even sliced jalapeño directly to the wraps!
Chickpea salad wraps in 5 easy steps
These vegan chickpea salad wraps couldn’t be easier to make. Here’s how to do it:
- Mix the salad. Start by mashing your chickpeas and mixing them together with the rest of those fresh salad ingredients.
- Make the dressing. Stir up that creamy tahini curry dressing until it’s nice and smooth.
- Combine, taste & adjust. Pour the dressing all over the chickpea salad and mix it well. Taste and add more salt & pepper if you’d like.
- Wrap your collard leaves. Prep your collard leaves, top each leaf with 1/4th of the chickpea salad and wrap them up. See exactly how to do this below and in the video!
- Slice & enjoy. Slice each collard wrap in half and enjoy!
Dress it and dip it
Okay, this curry tahini dressing is SO flavorful and addicting, so why not double it? Feel free to make a second batch of the dressing on the side for dipping! GENIUS.
Wrapping collard greens 101
Rolling up that giant collard green leaf may sound (and look) intimidating, but I’m here to walk you through it step-by-step:
Step 1: cut & shave down the stem
You’ll start by cutting the stem off of the collard green leaf and then carefully using your knife to shave it down so that it’s flat. This will help prevent the collard leaf from breaking at the end and make it easier to roll up.
Step 2: add your chickpea salad
Next, add 1/4th of the chickpea salad and the rest of the toppings to the middle-bottom of the collard wrap.
Step 3: roll that baby up
You’ll then carefully roll the collard wrap up just like you would with a burrito. Fold in the ends of the wrap as you go so that everything stays inside nice and snug.
Step 4: slice and eat
When you’re ready to enjoy it, slice your chickpea collard wrap in half and eat it up!
Store any leftover chickpea salad or chickpea salad wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. These collard wraps are perfect for meal prep!

Vegan Curry Chickpea Salad Collard Wraps
Beautiful vegan curry chickpea salad wraps loaded with rainbow veggies, protein-packed chickpeas, and a flavorful tahini curry dressing all wrapped in a fresh collard wrap. These fresh chickpea collard wraps make the perfect no cook, plant based lunch for busy weeks!
- For the wraps:
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot (from 1 medium carrot)
- 1/3 cup tart cherries (or sub chopped Medjool dates or dried cranberries)
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
- For the tahini curry dressing:
- 3 tablespoons tahini (I like Soom Foods)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne for spicy curry flavor!
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- Lots of freshly ground black pepper
- 1-3 tablespoons water to thin
- For the wraps:
- 4 large collard greens (get as big as you can!)
- ½ cup shredded red cabbage
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 1/4 cup roasted and salted cashews, roughly chopped
Add rinsed and drained chickpeas to a large bowl and use a masher or fork to mash most of the chickpeas. Add in diced celery, shredded carrot, tart cherries, cilantro and diced red onion.
In a separate bowl, make the dressing: add tahini, lemon juice, pure maple syrup, curry powder, grated ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt and pepper. Add 1-3 tablespoons of water to thin until a nice creamy consistency. Mix to combine until a creamy dressing forms. Add more water if necessary. I found that somewhere between 2-3 tablespoons is perfect.
Add dressing to the chickpea salad. Stir to combine and coat all the ingredients with dressing. Taste and adjust as necessary. You may want to add more salt and/or pepper.
Place your collard green to a cutting board and cut off the large stems at the bottom. After that you’ll use a knife to thinly shave the remaining stem down so it’s thin and you can easily bend and roll the collard green.
Place a collard leaf on a plate and top with 1/4th of the chickpea salad. Top each with shredded red cabbage, 1 tablespoon of roasted cashews, and extra cilantro. Wrap up like a burrito, folding ends in as you go, then cut the wrap in half if desired and enjoy!
To store: store any leftover curry chickpea salad or full collard wraps in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

The spectacular collection of temples, terraced hills and plazas was the mountain-top citadel of the Inca under Pachacutec and Tupac Yupanqui, until the coming of the Europeans with Pizarro.
It may have the most familiar name, but Machu Picchu has refused to reveal many of its mysteries, including the secrets of its construction, function and demise. The overgrown ruins were discovered by US historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, and the quality of the stonework hints that it was an extremely important ceremonial site.
The remains are thought to date from around 1450, built at the height of the Inca Empire, and as they escaped being plundered by the Spanish they include semi-intact icons and shrines that were defaced or removed at other sites.
Entering the site, a set of steps leads to the ruined Temple of the Sun and a series of altars and niches. Highlights include the remains of ceremonial baths, the Sacred Plaza with its tremendous view across the Urubamba River valley, a rare shrine to the sun, and a labyrinth of passageways and cells.
One of the best ways to visit Machu Picchu is on an all-inclusive Day Trip from Cusco, with scenic rail transport, entry and informative guide included.
This was amazing! Spent 2 weeks in South America (Colombia and Peru), and this was by far the highlight of the trip! Must do!
Great experience! The trip started with a hotel pick up in the morning, transportation to Machu Picchu, English speaking guide, and transportation back to our hotel in the evening. Our guide Victor was the best guide we’ve ever had. We asked him a lot of questions and he always answered in details and with a smile.
I do recommend this trip.
Amazing place, well organised, great experience
Buses leave Aguas Calientes every 10 or so minutes from 5:20am, and the last bus back to Aguas Calientes leaves at 5:30pm. Remember to buy your entry ticket to Machu Picchu before you head off - tickets aren’t sold at the site, only at the Machu Picchu Cultural Center in Aguas Calientes.
Machu Picchu can also be reached by the legendary four-day Inca Trail, following a majestic route across mountains and valleys.

The wooziness begins unexpectedly, without alerting as well as is typically for brief time periods. Vertigo, like dizziness, is extremely frightening as well as is the main sign of various problems that impact the brain, from hypertension to fainting. Been Going Dizzy All Day
Benign positional vertigo (BPV) is most likely the most usual reason for vertigo, the feeling that the inside of your head or that your entire body is revolving oddly. Normally this is accompanied by light-headedness, nausea, throwing up, collapsing, as well as a sensation of detachment from your surroundings. BPV commonly creates just quick episodes of dizziness, typically no greater than 10 mins. It is frequently triggered by muscle spasms or by an absence of blood circulation to the nerves in the internal ear. Some people have no signs at all. Been Going Dizzy All Day
Been Going Dizzy All Day
Many cases of lightheadedness are caused by several of the conditions that influence the mind and also interfere with its capacity to work appropriately. If you are experiencing symptoms that you think are vertigo, your doctor will more than likely advise antihistamines or tricyclic antidepressants as therapies for these conditions. Antihistamines decrease the task of the chemicals in the body that trigger the response that causes vertigo. Tricyclic antidepressants are utilized to treat allergic reactions, stress and anxiety, and other comparable conditions. Been Going Dizzy All Day
Certain medicines might also create vertigo. For instance, doxycycline can decrease the stamina of your muscle mass that support your balance. This decreases the quantity of fluid in your brain that causes your wooziness. Various other drugs that might include doxycycline are Prednisone, Acetylcholine, Phenytoin, as well as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines).
Vertigo that does not enhance with over-the-counter treatment can be dealt with by your medical professional. These treatments consist of prescription medications, surgical treatment, and also antihistamines. If your wooziness is extreme, your medical professional may advise you to have a committed echocardiography system or VASER (vesicular stentibular shutoff stimulation) procedure. This procedure makes use of a laser to open the narrowed blood vessels that trigger the dizziness. The laser may likewise minimize the amount of liquid buildup in your brain that triggers dizziness.
Some people have troubles with lightheadedness without therapy. In these cases, it is important to identify why you experience the signs. Your medical professional might need to do examinations such as an MRI or CT scan to determine the underlying trouble. He might also execute some basic research laboratory tests in order to dismiss or validate the diagnosis.
A few of the causes that may result in lightheadedness consist of a problem called sensorineural hearing loss. This condition takes place when there is damages to the inner ear. This can be brought on by an ear infection, an injury, or a side effect of certain medicines. Other causes can be high fevers, ear infection, meniere’s condition, Meniere’s disorder, or vestibular neurons.
If you are experiencing lightheadedness, you should make note of where your wooziness is impacting your equilibrium. You need to also understand if the adjustments in equilibrium are taking place for a long period of time or if they are just happening in a short amount of time. This will assist your physician to establish the reason for vertigo and additionally the proper therapy. If you assume that your wooziness results from a lack of balance, you need to consult your doctor. Your health care professional will certainly be able to supply you with beneficial information concerning vertigo and exactly how you can manage the symptoms.
In order to determine the specific reason for vertigo, your healthcare specialist will certainly most likely have you undergo an extensive examination to eliminate any kind of underlying physical causes. Among one of the most usual sources of wooziness is reduced high blood pressure or hypertension. If you have been identified with either of these problems, you ought to follow your physician’s orders and adhere to your regular drug. By decreasing your blood pressure, your dizziness could be removed. Nevertheless, your condition may require treatment to decrease your high blood pressure naturally.
Another usual root cause of vertigo is experiencing hearing loss. As we age, our hearing comes to be less reliable, which might result to vertigo. If you have been experiencing wooziness with no various other signs and symptoms, it may be difficult to determine the problem. As soon as you begin experiencing any kind of audio or sound in your ear, you ought to instantly contact your medical professional.
Some symptoms that might suggest the visibility of a vestibular migraine include: queasiness, throwing up, impaired thinking, and fainting. Since these signs can be incorporated, your doctor might carry out examinations to validate the visibility of vertigo. If your signs are consistent, your doctor may do extra examinations such as catheterizations, magnetic vibration imaging (MRI), and computerized tomography (CT) check.

The Most Powerful Idea in the World: A Story of Steam, Industry, and Inventionby William Rosen
Synopses & Reviews
If all measures of human advancement in the last hundred centuries were plotted on a graph, they would show an almost perfectly flat line--until the eighteenth century, when the Industrial Revolutionwould cause the line to shoot straight up, beginning an almost uninterrupted march of progress.
In The Most Powerful Idea in the World, William Rosentells the story of the men responsible for the Industrial Revolution and the machine that drove it--the steam engine. In the process he tackles the question that has obsessed historians ever since: What madeeighteenth-century Britain such fertile soil for inventors? Rosen's answer focuses on a simple notion that had become enshrined in British law the century before: that people had the right to own and profit fromtheir ideas.
The result was a period of frantic innovation revolving particularly around the promise of steam power. Rosen traces the steam engine's history fromits early days as a clumsy but sturdy machine, to its coming-of-age driving the wheels of mills and factories, to its maturity as a transporter for people and freight by rail and by sea. Along the way we enter the minds ofsuch inventors as Thomas Newcomen and James Watt, scientists including Robert Boyle and Joseph Black, and philosophers John Locke and Adam Smith--all of whose insights, tenacity, and ideas transformed first anation and then the world.
William Rosen is a masterly storyteller with a keen eye for the "aha!" moments of invention and a gift for clear and entertaining explanations ofscience. The Most Powerful Idea in the World will appeal to readers fascinated with history, science, and the hows and whys of innovationitself.

I don’t remember the last time I picked up a Batman comic. That’s insane to me given how much of the Dark Knight Detective’s adventures I’ve read over the years but, like much of the New 52, I soured on this version of the character. Not surprisingly, I found myself a bit lost in a series where Batman has been largely absent for a year and Jim Gordon has stepped into a Batsuit to help keep the city safe.
What did I just watch? Returning to the scene of the crime while building on the shaky foundation of 2013’s Man of Steel, a film which turned DC Comic’s moral center into a cold-blooded killer, director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer expand DC’s bleak, joyless universe with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Realizing Gotham needs a Batman, Nighwing (Sean Maher) takes on the mantle of the Bat while working along with Batwoman and Damian (Stuart Allan) to keep Gotham safe while investigating Batman’s whereabouts. Like most of Grant Morrison’s later work, “Leviathan” is messy, over-complicated, and flawed. DeMatteis takes the best aspects of the story, boiling it down, and merges it with Dick and Damian’s entertaining time as the Dynamic Duo.
DC Comics and Warner Bros. rolled out its first full-length Batman v Superman trailer which gives us a better look at the animostity between Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) and more of both Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) as well as something I can only assume is supposed to be some kind of screwed-up version of Doomsday? The longer trailer doesn’t do much to quell my fears that we’re in for another Zack Snyder trainwreck but at least this looks like it could be more fun (i.e. bat-shit crazy) than Man of Steel. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens in theaters on March 25, 2016.

It seems that the best way to prosper in the competitive world of generic drugs is to get less generic. Datamonitor, a New York-based market analysis firm, noted in a report, published March 2001, of an industry shift towards "high-barrier-to-entry generic products," or specialty generic pharmaceuticals. Such drugs are sometimes called supergenerics.
As opposed to commodity generics--which are clones of the original drug--supergenerics differ from the original product in formulation or method of delivery. In fact, a supergeneric will sometimes need a completely new drug application in order to gain approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Generic drug companies are also developing their own proprietary products to grab a little piece of the lucrative branded market. For example, Miami-based
On the supergeneric front, Ivax is currently developing the oral form of paclitaxel, the generic form of one of the largest selling cancer drugs, Taxol, which is administered intravenously. Results from Phase II trials indicate that this oral version has comparable effectiveness to Taxol, but does not have the side effects associated with prolonged infusions. Ivax's generic version of Taxol has been on the market for over a year.
From 1999 to 2000, Ivax's net margins increased from 11% to 17%. In its latest 12 months, the company earned $239 million on sales of $1.1 billion, giving it a net margin of 21%.
Based on consensus forecasts from Thomson Financial/IBES, Ivax is expected to increase its per-share earnings by 11%, to $1.21, in 2002. The stock trades at 17 times the latter number. Long-term (annualized) earnings growth for Ivax is estimated at 28%.
Of the 17 million people who suffer from incontinence, only 20% to 25% are treated with existing drugs, according to Richard Silver, senior research analyst for specialty pharmaceuticals at Lehman Brothers. Oxytrol's launch has been set for mid-2002, pending FDA approval of Watson's new drug application, filed last April.
While analysts expect Watson's 2002 earnings per share to drop 7%, to $1.52, a 42% rebound is forecast for 2003. Watson shares now sell for 20 times the 2002 estimate.

Rapper, Nelly 39 and his current girlfriend Shantel Jackson, 29 [the recent ex-girlfriend to Floyd Mayweather] are set to star in their very own reality show. The eight episode show will center around Nelly ‘s personal and professional life as rapper and co-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats NBA team.
Sidebar: I am not surprise that BET/ Viacom would pick up their reality show and begin production so quickly. The recent controversy surrounding Floyd Mayweather, Shantel, and Nelly triangle love affair is more than enough tea to increase ratings for 8 weeks and a possible second season.
Many people believed that Nelly and Mayweather were friends but Nelly says other wise. According to Nelly, the two were cordial on social outings, however, Floyd never invited him to his fights and the two never exchanged phone numbers. Nelly then dropped a bombshell statement saying:
” Floyd could be confusing his relationship with me with his relationship with my ex who whom he has exchanged numbers and has flow personally to attend his weekend in Michigan which I wasn’t invited to [guess I wasn’t in the circle of friends then lol] . “
When asked about the reality show news, Floyd Mayweather views were not too far from the public consensus. According to the boxy heavyweight champ Nelly is being used to serve Shantel’s career goals.
” I’m not mad about any relationship or them [Nelly and Shantel] hanging out. She like to come and tell me “Well it’s all for publicity. I gotta do what’s best for me. I’m using it as a stepping stone so I can get my reality show started “.
Floyd Mayweather and Shantel parted ways earlier this year over an alleged ‘abortion’ which Floyd announced publicly that he was against Shantel’s decision.
Stay Tuned PLUM’s!

Leah Messer of Teen Mom 2 is back to filming the MTV show with her three daughters, and she gave fans a little sneak peek of what it’s like to get ready to make new scenes for the reality show.
It turns out that, even when filming on a holiday such as St. Patrick’s Day, it’s important to keep things looking like it could be any day of the year, something that Leah tried to explain to her young daughter in a cute clip revealing this new filming news.
Leah filmed MTV crews, confirming filming is taking place for next season
In a clip that was shared to her Instagram stories, Leah was driving with her window rolled down. She told the camera, “Just when I thought I had a break… look… look who’s back!”
As the camera turned to see what she was looking at, we saw an MTV film crew, ready to catch some new footage for the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2.
Next, Leah directed the camera to her daughters swinging at a playground and said, “Look at them babies.” Then she said, “Nice shades, Grace. Pretty sure those are mine.” Grace is her daughter Aleeah’s middle name, which she sometimes calls her.
Next, she brought daughter Ali in front of the camera and says, “Ali, we gotta pretend that it’s not St. Paddy’s Day.”
Ali replied, “We can’t.”
Leah asked, “Why?”
Ali responded, “Cuz you have to wear green” when Leah interrupted and excitedly said, “We got to cuz we gotta film. We gotta pretend that we’re not filming on St. Patrick’s Day.”
Leah teased daughter Ali about wearing green for St. Patrick’s Day
Ali told her mom, “Well, oh well. We have to wear green.”
Leah asked her, “Or what?”
And Ali replied, “I don’t wanna get pinched.”
Leah teased, “Ahh, I’m gonna pinch you.”
Ali told her mom, “No, you’re not.”
Leah wished followers a Happy St. Patrick’s Day and daughter Ali waved and said goodbye to the camera.
Leah is proud of her daughters, calls them ‘incredibly talented’
Leah recently referred to her daughters as “incredibly talented little ladies” in an interview. Leah often shares pics of her twins with her 2.4 million followers, using the hashtag #SimmsTwins.
Fans of Teen Mom have practically watched Leah’s girls grow up on camera. Leah and Corey have found a way to co-parent that works best for their daughters, who seem to be well-adjusted pre-teens.
Leah recently addressed rumors that she was pregnant again
Although rumors recently circulated that Leah might be pregnant with a fourth baby, she quickly shot them down in the form of a TikTok video. She did say, however, that she would be open to having more kids in the future if circumstances were right.
Leah also sent a positive message to her female followers last week after she grew tired of the tabloids’ headlines. For now, Leah seems to be focusing on herself and her girls and it suits her well.

The Hungarian Defence Forces recently unveiled the first Hungarian-developed unmanned aircraft. The jet-propelled ProTAR drone is intended to strengthen the air defence capabilities of the Hungarian military and represents a novel technology that will be able to compete on the international market.
On 10 June, the first Hungarian-developed unmanned aerial vehicle was unveiled at the zero-point training and firing range of the Bakony Fighter Training Centre. The ProTAR F4J fixed-wing, jet-powered, unmanned military drone weighs 68 kilogrammes, has a top speed of about 500 kilometres per hour, can take off at an altitude of 6,000 metres and has a communication range of 75 kilometres. The drone has an operating time of one hour. The equipment consists of three parts: the aircraft, the catapult and the ground control station. An innovative feature of the Hungarian drone is that it can fly three aircraft in formation at the same time, a unique capability in the international drone market.
‘Drone technology is a priority industrial and defence area in Hungary,’ Zsolt Molnár, the CEO of Rotors & Cams Ltd., the developer of the newly revealed ProTar drone highlighted.
The advanced, jet-powered aircraft is being developed by Rotors & Cams Zrt. together with Genevation Aircraft Kft. and HunMech Kft. on the order of the Hungarian Defence Forces Modernisation Institute. Rotors & Cams Ltd. was established as a subsidiary of the 4iG Group. At the event, László Blénessy, Deputy CEO of 4iG, said that his company is engaged in developing in the fields of IT, telecommunications, and defence technology and that the new drone is the result of technological development involving all three areas.
The ProTAR jet drone is specifically designed for military use, as a defensive unmanned aerial system designed to improve the air defence capabilities of the military. The new technology is also making its mark in the international market, Brigadier General Imre Porkoláb, Ministerial Commissioner for Defence Innovation remarked, stating:
‘This drone is the result of several years of development work and the cooperation of Hungarian engineers. It is faster, it can take off higher, it can perform complex manoeuvres and, as it has been emphasised, it is also capable of formation flying, which is unique on the market, so we can simulate scenarios for the soldiers with these drones that were not possible before and create a more realistic training environment.’
‘Force development can only be successful by building up the Hungarian defence industry,’
the commissioner added, recalling that one of the main victims of the regime change was the defence industry, which is why the development of the sector had to be fully restarted in 2010.
The Hungarian defence sector was a neglected area for decades following the system change, and the negative trend did not substantially change even after the country acceded to NATO in 1999. The size and capabilities of the Hungarian armed forces kept being drastically reduced and, with a few exceptions, the focus was on maintaining the rusting military equipment left over from Soviet times in working order. Finally, in 2016, a long overdue force development programme, the Zrínyi 2026, was announced with the objective of increasing the size and level of ambition of the Hungarian armed forces, primarily through the procurement of state-of-the-art military technology and personnel equipment. To achieve the latter, Hungary not only intends to rely on foreign suppliers but also aims to rebuild the country’s once-functioning defence industry.
After a demonstration flight of the drone, Brigadier General Porkoláb also stressed that in the current international situation, airspace protection is of paramount importance, and the use of drones is becoming increasingly important. This is confirmed by the latest experiences of the war in Ukraine. In the first phase of the war in particular, drones such as the famous Turkish Bayraktar TB2 played a prominent role and contributed considerably to the success of the Ukrainian war effort. Although the war in Ukraine has drawn attention to these UAVs, the increasing use of drones for wider military purposes can be seen as a multi-year trend with which the development of the Hungarian Defence Forces is also aligned. One of the results of this is the newly unveiled ProTar drone.
This year, the Hungarian Drone Coalition also would like to present a comprehensive drone strategy to the Hungarian parliament, which would include defence and the protection of critical infrastructure by drones as a main focus. The strategy also aims to make Hungary a model for the application of the EU's uniform legislation by creating the appropriate legal environment in the country.

Cancer patients should be told they are likely to experience memory loss or other symptoms of cognitive decline as a result of their disease, according to leading oncologist.
Professor Janette Vardy, medical oncologist at the Concord Cancer Centre, University of Sydney, says cancer-related cognitive impairment, sometimes referred to as “chemo fog” or “cancer brain” occurs in between 70% and 80% of cancer patients who are on chemotherapy. But the mechanism underlying the symptoms affecting memory, processing speed and executive function is not well understood despite one in three patients showing persistent deficits, she says.
Previous thinking has centred around the role of chemotherapy – hence the nickname “chemo brain” – however more recent research suggests the disease itself plays a role, Professor Vardy told the annual scientific meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine in Sydney on June 28.
Professor Vardy’s own large prospective longitudinal study of colorectal cancer in men and women found 43% of patients had impairment prior to any chemotherapy, compared to 15% of healthy controls.
“And when we looked at them at one year, the rates were fairly similar still around the 40% compared to ten to 12% of healthy controls.”
Another finding that raises more questions than answers is a lack of association between symptoms and objective cognitive decline, with many patients who self-report symptoms having scores within the normal range on neuropsychological testing.
One suggestion is that for some patients, cognition was previously at the high end of the spectrum and has dropped into the normal range, she said.
There are also hypotheses on the role of chemotherapy.
“We do wonder – and the jury is out on this – whether there may be an accelerated cognitive ageing in people that have had chemo,” Professor Vardy said.
“There are also potentially certain chemotherapy agents that are more likely to cause cognitive impairment that others.”
Studies using functional MRI scan have shown a difference in the areas of brain activation between people who have had chemotherapy and those who have not, or never had cancer.
“In some cases there’s hyperactivation. So what we think is happening is compensation, they might come up with the correct answer but they’re aware they’re having to work harder hence they say they have a cognitive symptom but they’re scoring okay, and that’s supported by the fact extra parts of the brain are being recruited to answer the question.”
There are also questions about the potential role of mental health issues commonly found in cancer patients, such as anxiety and depression.
While such mental health states are associated with symptoms of impairment such as memory loss, they are not associated with objective cognitive impairment, Professor Vardy said.
For the one third of patients for whom impairment persists, there are few therapeutic options available.
A number of pharmacological interventions are being studied, but none are ready for prime time. Probably the best evidence is for exercise, she said.
“(The evidence) is weak, but at least it has lots of other benefits.”
“There is also increasing evidence that forms of cognitive rehabilitation may assist and for some that’s a more formal process. It might be teaching compensatory strategies, education about cancer-related cognitive impairment, it could be with regard to cognitive behavioural therapy [CBT].
“We have also done a study that shows brain training programs [may work]. The thing we use is called ‘Insight’. It certainly helped their cognitive symptoms and it was a randomised controlled trial, but we didn’t actually see improvement in the objective cognitive function.”
While the opportunity for interventions is limited, Professor Vardy believes oncologists should be warning all their patients about the likelihood they will experience some cognitive symptoms, which are usually subtle and often improve over time.
“(Patients) often say ‘no-one said this could happen’ so just like we warn patients about fatigue, this should be on the list,” she said.
Adequately following up with patients, with referral to a neuropsychologist for those with persistent symptoms, is also important.
“There is some data to suggest older age or people with less cognitive reserves to start with might be more susceptible to these problems, so that is something we have to consider when we give chemotherapy to older people.”
Looking to the future, Professor Vardy said it’s important to understand what mechanisms are causing cancer-related cognitive impairment in order to know how to best prevent or treat it.
“We have a lot of good animal models which clearly show chemotherapy is implicated, but it’s more than that. So things like inflammation or is there a genetic predisposition?”
“Hopefully in another 10 years with the animal models and the neuro-imaging work we would have a better idea of that and how to prevent and treat it.
And hopefully it’s something people are being warned about in advance, and we are doing work looking at what are the implications on real life, as opposed to scoring low on a test.”

There have been some recent signs that Houston is slowly accepting the need to practice fair housing and treat all neighborhoods equally. But then there are other signs that the city and county officials have not learned a thing.
The Houston City Council recently approved awarding 4 percent state housing tax credits and $5 million in additional funding from City coffers for the Pointe at Crestmont, a proposal which would place yet another subsidized housing complex in Southeast Houston. The development’s tax credit application is now being reviewed by the state housing agency. The surrounding area is more than 85 percent African-American, with a median income more than $6,000 below Houston’s average.
The Pointe at Crestmont would add 192 units at 5602 Selinsky Road, where a large apartment complex has stood abandoned for the past eight years after being damaged by Hurricane Ike (pictured above).
The property has been owned by a developer whom City officials refer to as a “slumlord,” and who has refused to maintain or demolish the derelict complex. Slum apartments like the Crestmont site are a danger to neighborhoods, and there are far too many in Houston’s low income neighborhoods of color.
But the City has been ineffective in meeting its obligations to manage blight, provide for basic infrastructure or maintain public safety in these communities. That the Crestmont apartments have been allowed to stand, derelict and abandoned, for nearly a decade without the City doing anything about it is a disgrace.
City officials now claim that the only way to deal with blight is to use housing funds to do what should have been done by code enforcement long ago. Federal housing funding is not the appropriate or effective vehicle for clearing blight. The funds are meant to provide low income residents with housing opportunity – not to be used as a tool to further concentrate low income housing.
Affirmatively furthering fair housing
When it comes to blight and other issues in low income communities of color, Houston city officials seem to have one strategy: Build more subsidized housing in the blighted neighborhood. This ignores the City’s duty to care for all communities equally, its fair housing obligations and the already overwhelming concentration of subsidized housing in Houston’s impoverished neighborhoods of color.
The map shows where 4 percent tax credit housing developments are located in Houston compared to the city’s racial demographics. Note how they are mostly clustered in high minority areas outside of “the Arrow,” the largely white, more affluent area of west Houston, outlined in black, that an analysis identified as the city’s strongest markets.
Houston is required to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) under the Fair Housing Act of 1968 reiterated in a recent regulation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which obligates local jurisdictions to identify, and attempt to address, patterns of housing segregation. The City of Houston has additional AFFH requirements because it receives federal disaster funds and HUD Community Development Block Grants, which make up some of the public money the City plans to use to rebuild apartments at Crestmont.
Houston’s 2015 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, a City blueprint for housing siting submitted to the federal government, states that “the City will work towards creating more housing and preserving housing options especially for persons in various protected classes including in higher opportunity areas where housing is generally not available.” (emphasis added)
The power of the Fair Housing Act was reinforced last year by a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a case from the Dallas area, around this very issue of concentrated tax credit housing. The Justices found that by disproportionately approving developments in predominantly African-American neighborhoods – and disproportionately rejecting developments in white neighborhoods – the State of Texas’ tax credit program created a “disparate impact” on African-Americans by perpetuating patterns of government subsidized housing segregation.
Wrongheaded deals like the Pointe at Crestmont disparately impact areas like Southeast Houston. And the reverse is also true – by ignoring its responsibility to offer affordable housing options in higher income, high opportunity neighborhoods, the City of Houston disparately impacts the predominantly African-American tenants of subsidized apartments, whom the City leaves with no options but to continue to live in segregated, substandard and impoverished neighborhoods.
The glaring disparity in how subsidized housing is treated in different areas of Houston is demonstrated by another tax credit proposal that will soon come before the City Council – a groundbreaking development in an affluent neighborhood that represents potential progress on fair housing. The Fountain View Apartments, proposed by the Houston Housing Authority, would be a mix of public, subsidized and market-rate housing in the Briargrove neighborhood near the Galleria and inside “the Arrow,” an area with good schools, thriving businesses and the kind of infrastructure, public safety and civic engagement often not present in low income communities of color.
But the City’s current behavior in the Crestmont and Fountain View cases looks like another chapter in its long history of racial housing segregation and unequal treatment.
The right to equal treatment
When richer, whiter neighborhoods are confronted with subsidized housing proposals, the reaction often looks like what’s happening with the Fountain View development – organized opposition, political roadblocks and threats of lawsuits. Just recently, some residents of the Houston suburb of Tomball convinced the Harris County Housing Authority to scrap its plans to build apartments for low income families in that more affluent and largely white community.
Houston City Council Member Greg Travis, who represents the district around the proposed Fountain View Apartments, has promised to lead the Council in rejecting its application for tax credits, which would torpedo the project. He made that promise at a recent public meeting in the neighborhood which drew a crowd of hundreds of mostly white Briargrove residents, overwhelmingly in opposition to the development.
The low income, mostly African-American community around the Crestmont site, meanwhile, was given no similar public forum to voice their opinions on the deal. The proposal was quietly presented at a separate meeting at the City’s Housing Committee and then given a quick vote at City Council. Neighborhood leaders and advocates were surprised by the project and the speed with which it was approved.
The Fountain View proposal, in the desirable Briargrove neighborhood, appears to be stalled. Thus far, it has not received the same enthusiastic support from the mayor and Council as did the Pointe at Crestmont, despite its clear advantages. It would represent the housing authority’s first affirmative investment in a high opportunity neighborhood.
According to the State’s Housing Sponsor Report, there are already 24 tax credit properties with 3,737 total occupied units within just five miles of the Crestmont site. Ninety-six percent are households earning less than 60 percent of Houston’s median income, or less than $41,580 per year. Based on comparable properties, it is safe to assume that almost all of the units at the Pointe at Crestmont will be occupied by very low income renters of color.
The right to choose
Let’s be clear: There is nothing inherently negative about the presence of a low income household in a neighborhood. But there is something very harmful about concentrated poverty and segregation.
An abundance of research shows how concentrated poverty harms residents, especially children. Low income children who are given a chance to live in a high opportunity neighborhood go on to earn a much higher future income. Children grow up happier and healthier in safer, less stressful environments. Minority students are much more likely to attend college when they attend integrated schools as opposed to racially concentrated ones.
Yet more and more of Texas’ children of color are growing up in subsidized apartments in impoverished and segregated neighborhoods because their families have no other housing choices. In high poverty areas, the addition of more subsidized housing in lieu of any other kind of investment – or, as in the Crestmont case, the use of housing as an expedient but inappropriate solution to a lingering neighborhood problem – only increases the area’s poverty rate and reduces the choices for families.
Fair housing is about breaking down the barriers to segregation and ensuring that everyone has a chance to live in a decent home in a quality neighborhood. It requires that all areas, including places like Briargrove and Tomball, join in the effort to provide low income families of color with more housing choice. And it dovetails with the responsibility of local governments to provide for every neighborhood so that opportunity is spread equally.
If the Council rejects tax credits for Fountain View after rubber-stamping the Crestmont deal, the City will be sending a clear message that any signs of progress on fair housing have been meaningless. It will show that the City of Houston has chosen to violate fair housing law by continuing to reject housing integration and by continuing the segregation of subsidized housing.
And it will prove to low income residents of color that, even today, their voices and their choices matter less than the Houstonians who prefer the segregated status quo.

It’s hard to imagine that before WW2 most heavy lifting in industry was done by hand. Now, in our era of safer working, if goods can’t be palletised and moved by forklift, lifting gear is the obvious answer, and warehouse operators can choose from an array of products. If you don’t know where to start on your journey from manual handling, the Association of Loading and Elevating Equipment Manufacturers (ALEM) can advise.
At this point, if you are thinking of investing in lifting gear, it’s important to remember employers of people using this equipment have a burden of care. Daily and pre-use checks are vitally important and should be done in addition to scheduled servicing. Under the PUWER rules a Thorough Examination must be carried out by a competent person at least at 12- month intervals, or every six months if people travel on the lift.
With warehouses facing increasing pressure to employ a more diverse workforce, including older workers, even sack handling can be made easier with lifting gear. Swedish company TAWI’s lifting equipment handles everything from boxes to sacks, to cheese and windshields. They can turn, tilt and rotate heavy barrels, large panels and much more. TAWI’s equipment list includes vacuum lifters, hoists, cranes and mobile lifters.
The lifting gear on offer in the UK also includes working platforms, AKA scissor lifts. These are widely used in warehouse maintenance and refurbishment, but not every operation wants to own this equipment. JLG’s 1932R is the perfect rental machine for work up to 8 metres. If you want to go higher, Holland Lift is committed to ensuring the safety of everyone who uses a scissor lift to work above the ground, all the way up to 34 metres. Holland Lift’s lifting capacities range from 220 kg to 1,000 kg.
Goods lifts are another important part of the lifting gear offering. Lödige provide goods lifts for various sectors, including factories, warehouses and selfstorage units, distribution centres, supermarkets and other retail brands. Lödige also offer an online Configurator to help customers design their own lifts.
Two leading lifting gear brands Konecranes and Demag made the news earlier this year when they joined forces under one name, Konecranes Demag. Konecranes’ acquisition of Material Handling & Port Solutions in 2016 led to leading global brands such as Demag, Gottwald and Noell being added to Konecranes’ product portfolio.
Last but not least, Konecranes Demag’s British operation has been in the news recently, raising the bar for equal opportunities in logistics. KDUK has become a partner of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES), and will be taking an active role in the Society, attending events and adopting best practice procedures. The company will also advertise technical vacancies on the WES website, job boards and newsletters to make job opportunities more accessible to female engineers. Vicki Shields is the Branch Manager at Konecranes UK’s Rochester service depot and Konecranes’ UK HR Director, Karen Winfield is passionate about attracting more women to technical roles. We look forward to reporting on progress

If .. ‘Ifs and buts’ were candy and nuts…oh, what a party we would have.” –H. Bergh
I love candied nuts. They are salty-sweet and super easy to make. Add them to an ordinary dessert or salad and you’re a rock star! They’re a perfect addition to any holiday menu and can be stored a week or so in an airtight container. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1-cup raw pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts
- A generous pinch (about ¼ of a teaspoon) of kosher salt
- Melt butter in a large sauté pan.
- Add brown sugar and cook while stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the nuts and cook while stirring constantly until the nuts take on a golden color.
- Spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. If the nuts are stuck together, use 2 forks to separate.
Here are some ingredients you can add to the nuts while they’re browning to change things up:
- A generous pinch (about ¼ of a teaspoon) of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- A generous pinch (about ¼ of a teaspoon) of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Indiana Republican Senate candidate Rep. Todd Rokita donned a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat in a new television ad he's running ahead of the GOP primary.
Rokita's one in a crowded field of GOP candidates hoping to unseat incumbent Democrat, Sen. Joe Donnelly. The seat is one of several Republicans are hopeful they can flip in November's midterms.
Rokita's trying to create a brand that separates him from GOP competition.
"Here's the truth: we are not going to beat Joe Donnelly with a RINO," Rokita says in the ad, using the acronym for Republican in Name Only.
"Mike Braun, he's a lifelong Democrat. He voted for Obama or Hillary ... wow. And Luke Messer, he plotted with the Never Trumpers to steal the nomination from President Trump. You gotta be kidding me."
Messer is also a sitting Republican congressman.
Rokita then pulls out a red MAGA hat from his back pocket and dons it.
"I'll proudly stand with our president and Mike Pence to drain the swamp," Rokita says.
Rokita led in January polling, pulling in 24 percent of the vote vs. 9 percent for Braun and almost 9 for Messer. But 58 percent said they were undecided.
The Indiana primary is May 8.

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your coconut flour, almond flour, 3 tablespoons of sweetener, and baking powder, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, coconut oil, one egg, and one egg yolk, vanilla extract, until combined. Gently fold through the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Fold through the blueberries. Gently knead the dough until mostly smooth.
Lightly dust a flat surface with almond flour. Transfer the dough onto it and gently knead into a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra almond flour. If the dough is too thick, add some heavy cream or milk. Press down and flatten into a thick disk. Using a sharp knife, cut 8-10 triangles.
Place the scones onto the lined sheet. Brush the tops with the egg white and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of granulated sweetener over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
* One whole egg and egg yolk is used in the dough. The remaining egg white is used to brush the tops before baking. TO STORE: Leftover scones should be stored in the refrigerator, completely covered. They will keep well for up to 1 week. Any longer and the blueberries will blend into them and will become soggy. TO FREEZE: Place scones in ziplock bags and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.

An adult take on grilled cheese comfort
AP PHOTO/MATTHEW MEAD A touch of sweetness from apricot preserves balances this Prosciutto, Apricot and Blue Cheese Panino Sandwich.
A great grilled cheese practically defines comfort, all crispy bread and gooey cheese.
And a grilled cheese is the perfect base to add other flavors, whether you fancy a slice of tomato or a little ham or bacon. This version is similar to a grilled ham and cheese for adults. Salty prosciutto pairs with creamy, earthy blue cheese.
A touch of sweetness from apricot preserves balances the sandwich. This quick and flavorful lunch would be great served with an arugula salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette.
Prosciutto, Apricotand Blue CheesePanino
Start to finish: 15 minutes
2 thick slices country-style sourdough bread
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
2 tablespoons Great Hill blue cheese, or other creamy raw milk blue cheese
2 slices prosciutto
Ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
To assemble the sandwich, spread 1 tablespoon of apricot preserve on each slice of bread. Sprinkle one slice with blue cheese, then top with prosciutto. Sprinkle with black pepper and top with the other slice of bread, preserves to the inside. Brush each side of the sandwich with the olive oil.
Using a panini press or a skillet, cook the sandwich 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown. If using a skillet, flip the sandwich after 2 minutes.

Arsenal accept £15m Vermaelen bid from Barca: reports
Arsenal have accepted a £15 million ($31.6m) bid from Barcelona for Manchester United target Thomas Vermaelen.
Various media outlets in the UK have reported the agreement for the 28-year-old Gunners captain, who has slipped down Arsene Wenger's pecking order for centre-backs in recent seasons.
Despite suggestions that the Belgian favoured a stay in England with a move to United, the Red Devils - whose interest in the players was confirmed by Wenger - have pulled the plug on negotiations after the north Londoners demanded a player in exchange.
According to the BBC, Vermaelen must now agree personal terms with Barcelona and pass a medical to complete a move to the Nou Camp.
The deal is expected to be concluded over the weekend.
Vermaelen joined Arsenal for £10m in 2009 from Dutch giants Ajax, making 150 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/9/2008 (3262 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The two portable toilets set up weeks ago by a Main Street business with considerable media hoopla are no longer at the corner of Higgins Avenue and Main Street.
Zoning officials put a lid on two downtown port-a-potties Wednesday after city staff was concerned they didn't look good at the downtown intersection.
The potties were part of an effort to cut down on public urination and were slated to remain on the property of Bridgman Collaborative Architecture for three months as part of a pilot project between the company and the Downtown Biz.
Owner Wins Bridgman said city officials asked for the potties to be removed and told him the corner of Higgins and Main is not a suitable location for portable toilets and the idea needs further review.
Bridgman was in the process of getting a permit from the City of Winnipeg for the toilets when officials pulled the plug on the idea. He said he didn't have a city permit for the port-a-potties since he didn't realize he needed one until late last week.
In the two weeks the potties sat on the corner, Bridgman said that stretch of Main Street didn't smell like urine.
Downtown Biz was paying $750 for the rental toilets and Bridgman's company was covering the liability insurance.
Terry Aseltine, spokesman for the city's planning, property and development department, said the city agreed the toilets were a good idea -- but placing them on a major intersection in front of a mural wasn't.
Aseltine acknowledged public urination is a problem, but said the city is trying to beautify Main Street and putting toilets at Higgins and Main isn't the location.
"What they will have to do is come up with a better solution," he said.
Bridgman's architecture firm sent a letter to Mayor Sam Katz last year about the ongoing problem of public urination in the downtown. He said he never heard back from city hall and decided to pursue the pilot project to see if it could make a difference.
Bridgman said he's still working with the city and Downtown Biz staff to find another location for the port-a-potties.
