In a recent editorial by the Albuquerque Journal, the unique nature of New Mexico’s Legislature, which convenes annually in Santa Fe to conduct state business, was scrutinized for its lack of urgency and efficiency. The editorial highlighted that New Mexico hosts the only unsalaried Legislature in the United States, a fact that sets it apart from other states, many of which operate on a part-time basis but still compensate their legislators.
The editorial questioned the necessity of a full-time Legislature in an era where significant policymaking often occurs through executive agencies and boards, citing examples such as the Environmental Improvement Board’s electric vehicle sales mandates and the Construction Industries Division’s EV charging infrastructure requirements. “More and more, the real lawmaking takes place at the level of boards, commissions, and state agencies through rule-making,” the editorial stated, pointing out the diminishing role of the Legislature in direct lawmaking.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Legislature’s lack of involvement in the governor’s emergency public health orders was noted, with lawmakers largely acquiescing to the executive branch’s decisions. This led the editorial to question the value of compensating such an “acquiescent group of lawmakers” who seem to readily align with the governor’s agenda.
“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, lawmakers had absolutely no official input in the governor’s emergency public health orders. And they were largely OK with that. Yet they continue to whine about not getting a paycheck from taxpayers. Earning one would be a good start,” the editorial read.
The discussion around legislative salaries has been ongoing for nearly two decades in New Mexico, with House Joint Resolution 7 recently proposing a constitutional amendment to allow for legislative compensation. The resolution suggests creating a citizen commission to authorize payment of legislative salaries, which would require a referendum to amend the state Constitution that currently prohibits lawmaker compensation beyond per diem and mileage reimbursements.
Public opinion on legislative salaries, longer sessions, and increased staffing shows varying levels of support, but the editorial argued that the cost of even modest salaries for legislators could be significant for taxpayers. With legislative salaries in other states averaging around $19,000 for part-time lawmakers, the editorial suggested that New Mexico should consider similar modest compensation, if any, given its status as one of the smaller states in the nation.
The editorial concluded that while exploring legislative salaries is worthwhile, it should be approached with caution and clear limits to avoid excessive taxpayer expenditure. “Lawmaker salaries are still worth looking into, but with clear caps on how far we’re willing to go spending taxpayer money now and in the future,” the editorial stated, emphasizing the need for fiscal prudence in any decision regarding legislative compensation.

(Bloomberg) — Beyond Meat Inc. piled on the market value, serving up the year’s best first day for a U.S. initial public offering.
The maker of vegan beef and sausage substitutes soared, rising as much as 192 percent from its IPO price of $25 share. The shares, which opened at $46, closed their first day of trading Thursday up 163 percent to $65.75 in New York, giving the company a market value of about $3.8 billion.
The first-day pop eclipsed the 81 percent gain by Silk Road Medical Inc. in its U.S. debut last month and was the best for a U.S. listing raising at least $200 million since before the 2008 financial crisis. Globally, Beyond Meat bested the debuts this year of all but a handful of small listings, none of them larger than $22 million.
Beyond Meat raised $241 million from the sale of 9.63 million shares on Wednesday, after increasing its marketing range for them to $23 to $25.
Beyond Meat Makes History with Post ’08 Crisis IPO Pop
The company’s business and Hollywood celebrity backers, including Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, helped explain the investor zeal, along with a growing consumer appetite for meat alternatives.
Investor and actress Jessica Chastain, who is a vegan, said she cooks Beyond Meat products at home, to the approval of her non-vegan husband and friends.
“I love any plant-based product,” Chastain said in an interview at the Nasdaq exchange. She said she invested in Beyond Meat after being on set in Toronto and being unable to find a Beyond Burger at an A&W restaurant. “I tried for four months in Canada to get one and it sold out everywhere,” she said.
Chief Executive Officer Ethan Brown doesn’t expect a conflict between making environmentally based decisions and those that serve shareholders.
“Consumers are looking for products that enable them to be healthier and reduce their footprint,” he said in an interview. “Every time we’re making a sale we’re furthering our mission and increasing sales.”
One food-industry consultant said investors are taking a lot on faith with money-losing Beyond Meat.
The company’s valuation in its IPO is “entirely reasonable if it’s got internationalizable potential and a great product, and has capacity to make money in its core profit structure,” said Robert Lawson, chief executive officer of London-based Food Strategy Associates. “But it’s not clear that Beyond Meat is that.”
The company will need to expand its product range to succeed outside the U.S., where burgers aren’t as popular, Lawson added.
Beware Vegan ’Meat’ Peddled by Venture Capitalists: Bloomberg Opinion
Consumers are looking for more plant-based meat alternatives because of concerns about health, animal welfare and the environment. Startups like Beyond Meat are tapping into that demand by offering beef-like versions of the veggie burger and other meat products.
Supermarket sales of meat alternatives surged 19.2 percent to $878 million for the year ended Jan. 5, according to data from Nielsen. The field is crowded, with Silicon Valley-based Impossible Foods also placing its meatless burgers in thousands of restaurants, including all Burger King locations. Nestle SA makes a plant-based Incredible Burger, which is available in McDonald’s Corp.’s German locations.
TGI Fridays, Del Taco
Beyond Meat is sold in grocery stores nationwide and is also increasingly being featured on restaurant menus, including TGI Fridays and Carl’s Jr. and now under a new deal with Del Taco Restaurants Inc. Its burger patties, with no cholesterol and 5 grams of saturated fat, are made of pea protein and beet juice, which makes them “bleed” when cooked. That compares with 80 milligrams of cholesterol and 9 grams of saturated fat for a 4-ounce patty of 80 percent lean beef.
And despite the company’s mission, Brown said the company will choose the customer over the planet when necessary.
“Our packaging is not great,” he said, referring to the plastic wrap. “That runs counter to what I believe in in terms of ability to recycle things and the overall footprint of that packaging, but we care about the quality of the product. So we will make trade-offs that make sense for the product and market instead of the most environmental path.”
Beyond Meat shrank its 2018 loss, while its revenue more than doubled for the second year in a row, according to its filings. Last year, it lost $29.9 million on revenue of $87.9 million compared with a 2017 loss of $30.4 million on revenue of $32.6 million.
The company had significant shortages in 2017 and 2018 and has since made significant investments to keep up with demand, Brown said.
“Now it’s about sequencing customers,” he said. Quick-service restaurants have thousands of locations, so supplying them requires a huge jump in output. To keep up, Brown said, the company has been staggering rollouts.
Brown said he wants to eventually lower the price of the company’s products, which currently can cost twice as much as standard ground beef. Beyond Meat wants to sell its products for less than animal protein in the next five years, he said.
Beyond Meat’s investors include former McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson and venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers LLC, which owns 16 percent of the company, and Twitter Inc. co-founder Ev Williams’s Obvious Ventures with 9 percent, according to its filings.
Its backers had included Tyson Foods Inc., the largest U.S. meat producer. Tyson sold its 6.5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, according to a statement in April. Tyson’s shares were sold both to insiders and new shareholders, Brown said.
The offering was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Credit Suisse Group AG. Beyond Meat trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol BYND.

text: 1 Then I heard a loud voice from athe temple, saying to the bseven angels, "Go and cpour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God." 2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl aon the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant bsore on the people cwho had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image. 3 The second angel poured out his bowl ainto the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died. 4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the arivers and the springs of waters; and they bbecame blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, "aRighteous are You, bwho are and who were, O cHoly One, because You djudged these things; 6 for they poured out athe blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them bblood to drink.

Laredo, Texas, United States
The implementation of inclusive education technologies greatly benefits non-native English speaking students and teachers, while favoring different classroom learning methods.
The Office of Information Technology at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), current office of Phylis Zimmermann, Instructional Designer, is constantly busy with work and assignments. This institution’s staff is highly focused on its mission, which involves working on videos, audios and online guides intended to guarantee a more accessible education.
But the team is aiming higher: now, their goal is to make sure that the final product benefits everyone, not only students with some kind of physical or cognitive disability.
This task requires agility, effectiveness and, above all, a lot of creativity. To highlight this, Zimmermann constantly cites the needs of an ever-growing international academic community as an example. According to the figures of the Institute of International Education, the United States received a million foreign students in 2016, and 9 of the 10 most represented nationalities do not speak English as their native tongue 1 .Therefore, the challenge to improve learning in students with speaking, listening and writing difficulties becomes increasingly important.
One of the Office’s most common assignments is to caption the videos used in class. This benefits firstly deaf or hearing-impaired students, but it can also help people with English listening difficulties to better understand video content and check for correct spelling. Likewise, subtitles are another prime asset to help students understand faulty material, such as defective audio.
“In our interview, if we had all of the information transcribed, it would be much easier for you to be like: ‘oh, this is what we said, oh, this is how I answered,’” says Zimmermann, who gets thrilled when speaking about something she describes as an added value. “Everybody can benefit from video captioning, transcripts, or images with alternative text, especially those students who speak English as a second language: the comprehension level of these folks goes up when they get that material.”
Occasionally, when work intensifies, the team has to ask for external assistance to cover professors’ requirements. Faculty value this inclusive approach to education, as it works to their advantage. “We have professors who come from all over the world —Zimmermann says — and we do not want them to be shy when they stand in front of the class because they might think students can’t understand them completely. So, we present their materials online with transcripts, which benefits students and faculty as well as the whole school.”
This mission brings forward new challenges and also demands the constant update of technological resources. Blackboard provides tools to improve the comprehension of students with any hearing or visual difficulties, using screen reader programs with the latter and subtitles with the former. In the end, this benefits the entire classroom: those who learn better by reading –via subtitles or the images’ complementary text–, or by hearing or watching the videos.
Zimmermann and the team’s conviction in their work is quite remarkable. Their commitment to accessibility as a universal language is based on their goal to turn it into an opportunity for everyone to succeed in their studies, with no exception.
Improvement for Everyone
Beyond TAMIU’S experience, research shows the advantages of inclusion and accessibility in education:
- 98.6% of 2,124 students (most of them with no disabilities) surveyed by Oregon State University at 15 public and private U.S. universities claimed that subtitles are a “useful” tool, and 75% confirmed that they use them during online and face-to-face classes.
- Over half of the students surveyed recognized that they understood subjects better because subtitles helped them concentrate and retain the most important information. Similarly, the survey published in October last year revealed that transcriptions of audiovisual materials are often used as study guides and as information resources.2
- Afroditi Kalambouka, Peter Farrell, Alan Dyson and Ian Kaplan, from the University of Manchester, found out in 2007 that 81% of 26 reports comprising a representative sample from a total of 120 documents showed that inclusion had positive or neutral effects on students’ performance. 3
- A study conducted in 2004 by Cassandra Cole, Nancy Waldron and Massoumeh Majd in six Indiana schools revealed that students without disabilities made significant progress in mathematics and literature after using inclusive education resources to benefit students with some kind of disability.4
- Another study conducted between 1999 and 2000 by Hsin-Chuan Huang and David Eskey, from the University of Southern California, showed that the vocabulary, writing and hearing performance in 30 intermediate English as Second Language (ESL) students improved after implementing English close captions in audiovisual material.5
- Earlier, in 1997, Lisa Cushing, Craig Kennedy and Tiina Itkonen, in the Springer Journal of Behavioral Education, had already proven that even people who assisted other students with some kind of disability improved their academic performance and participated more in classes.6

|Kevin Merle||Aidan McNally|
The University of Scranton wrestling team won seven of nine contested matches on Tuesday night to defeat Elizabethtown, 31-15, in the John Long Center in its first dual meet of 2019. The Royals leveled their record at 5-5 on the season with the win while dropping the Blue Jays to 1-6 overall.

Should You Start On Your Own Or With A Team Of Rappers?
If you don’t have the right group of people working with you, the other’s opinions can have a negative affect on your growth as an artist. So if you do decide to work with other people, make sure they are HAPPY, Good spirited and positive minded people. If I have learned anything in life, it is how important that key element is.
I don’t care if they are your friends or not. I have been through this and I recommend that you do this by yourself to start.
Generally I keep it positive and happy but I want to mention why NOT to work with other people and why to rely on yourself to become great at first.
The negatives of working with other music artist
1) Amount Of Energy
If that person is trying to be an artist just like you. Their energy is into getting THEIR music done and THEM growing. Not you or your growth.
If you work with others, you have to expend your music work energy and time on the other artist growth. If they aren’t willing to do the exact same and you didn’t realize that for 4 months. Well now you are probably months behind in your growth.
2) There is always ego involved
This can be a good thing for competition. Until the competition turns into ego and jealousy.
You waste time by clashing egos with the other people you are trying to work with. Yes, I used to be EXTREMELY hard headed but I was also an EXTREMELY hard worker and I knew a lot. But others would act like they knew what they were talking about when I was the one who had bought the gear from working. I had taught myself the software, this and that and this that and this and that.
Why would meet with friends to practice writing and song writing anyways? This builds into the habit of not being able to write songs by yourself.
You don’t want to build the habit of requiring yourself to NEED or WANT someone else there to grow yourself. You wanna build the habit of just getting started as soon as you wanna work.
I have always experienced tons of ego when working with other people even on a level playing field. They want it their way etc.
This got a little off my point but it’s good information I want you to think about.
3) Is everyone 100% in or at least all as focused as everyone else?
If one guy keeps skipping out on working together because he would rather look for girls or go to the mall and walk around or something… That wears on your focus. Then you feel like you can’t work with out that person there. You feel like since he was slacking off it is okay that you slack off.
Then when you start making progress, the guy who was slacking off the entire time things he deserves as much of the credit as YOU do. Why Should I Work With Other Rappers if they are wasting my time?
I had this happen to me. All of the above, so I know FIRST hand how this works. I started alone for YEARS, writing myself with no one around. Eventually I had a friend I met and he did music too and we were best friends and we lived together. We were both super egotistical and young and stupid and always thought WE were right. So when it came to working on music there were tons of conflictions and this and that.
He was always trying to make me something HE SAW ME BEING instead of allowing me to be WHO I WAS. And that all fucked me up. You can be yourself now a days. You don’t need to act like someone else. You do need to be SOMEBODY, but that SOMEBODY you are acting like needs to be the BEST YOU POSSIBLE.
4) You rely on others instead of on yourself
The reason I was okay with doing everything myself for years is because I know that I am going to put 100% into everything I do because this is MY career and my life.
If I rely on someone else they probably won’t put 100% into the tasks.
A good way to look at it is. You and your buddy decide to get music equipment together. You both pitch in! But whose house does the gear go to?
If your buddy has the music equipment and you piss him off once, you can’t just show up at his house to record, can you?
You also can’t record ANYTIME you want simply because it’s at his house. This is why I show you how to get your own basic set up and start working.
There are a ton of examples I can use here.
I’d like to point out, people have always let me down. I also realize that 99.999999999999% of people are LAZY AS FUCK. So maybe you have that .00000000001% friend that is amazing, happy, helpful and driven. But I doubt it.
Do it yourself and build mastermind group and team later with established people at the higher levels you’ll be on.

Health effects among individuals living in proximity of livestock farms
Health effects among individuals living in proximity of livestock farms: ‘VGO study’ (Dutch Acronym for the study ‘veehouderij en gezondheid omwonenden’)
The ‘VGO’ study investigates effects on human health of exposure emissions from livestock producing farms in the Netherlands. The background is that livestock farming may lead to emission of particulates which contain endotoxins, infectious agents or micro-organisms which are resistant against antimicrobials. These agents might be associated with elevated health risks for humans. The study started because of concerns after emergence of certain resistant strains (MRSA ST398 and ESBL producting E.coli) and observation of the largest space-time cluster of Q-fever with more than 4500 cases in 2009 in the Netherlands. This triggered further research into the health risks of exposure to these and other micro-organisms and their toxins.
The ‘VGO’ study is conducted by a consortium (in alphabetic order) of different research institutes (IRAS Utrecht University; NIVEL, Utrecht; RIVM Bilthoven; WUR, Wageningen) and comprises studies on respiratory health effects, infectious disease resulting from exposure to livestock associated microbial exposure, carriage of micro-organisms which are resistant against anti-microbial agents. The latter micro-organisms circulate in livestock herds of different species because of the veterinary usage of antimicrobials.
Disease morbidity is being monitored by use of electronic General Practitioner monitoring systems, in a population of approximately 90000 individuals from a region in the South East of the Netherlands with a high density of livestock operations.
Of this source population, more than 25000 have been sent a questionnaire and more than 15000 responded. From these 15000, a sample of 2500 individuals has been invited for a detailed medical survey. IRAS UU is responsible for completion of the medical survey, evaluation of respiratory effects (spirometry, serology, symptoms) and has set up a sampling network with 60 measurement sites at which PM10 levels are being measured. PM10 will be analyzed for endotoxins and a range of microbial molecular targets (resistance genes, specific species). The first results will become available at the end of 2015.

Last Sunday ITV aired Jekyll & Hyde, the latest retelling of the iconic story that has gathered quite a bit of buzz in the last week and for me personally threw the whole watershed regulations out of the window, take that kids!
Billed as a Downton-meets-Doctor-Who, the show features a star cast including Tom Bateman, Richard E Grant and Natlie Gumede and to celebrate it’s release ITV have sent us some very cool behind the scenes images which you can see below.
Tom Bateman, who plays the Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde combo had this to say when he heard about the series –
“I absolutely loved the idea and the 1930s setting. I had read the original Robert Louis Stevenson novel and thought the re-imagining writer Charlie Higson created is so much fun. It’s something we haven’t seen on TV and I had never read anything like it. I loved the dual character and Robert’s struggle to come to grips with this evil – or liberated – side. The auditions were great because I got to keep doing these really fun Hyde scenes. There’s nothing else like it on TV. The way we’re shooting it is so cool and original. We’ve got the fight guy from Star Wars doing our fights and the director of photography from Peaky Blinders. There’s an A- team on this. Everyone coming together and creating this amazing world. A really fun adventure.”
Tune in to ITV next Sunday at 6:30pm for Episode two in the series!

The multispan masonry arch bridge of Ribellasca, between Italy and Switzerland was built in 1906 (Fig,1a shows a photograph taken during the construction phase). After a century, significant damages were observed, mainly due to the water seepage through the waterproofing layer of the bridge (Fig.1b). The bridge is 100 m long and 5 m large and its five arches (three of them with a span about 20 m) ... [Show full abstract] are supported by stone-masonry pillars which reach the maximum height of 25 m. In order to analyze the static capability of the bridge according to the actual safety standards, a wide experimental investigation was carried out as well as a static and dynamic numerical analysis. ABSTRACT: The multispan stone-masonry bridge was built in 1906 in the Ribellasca valley, along the border between Italy and Switzerland. The bridge is 100 m long and its five arches are supported by stone-masonry pillars which reach the maximum height of 25 m. After a preliminary historical analysis of the construction and restoration phases, a wide experimental investigation, including in situ and laboratory tests, was carried out in order to analyse the static and dynamic behaviour of the bridge. Coring and video-camera surveys were used to analyse the structural characteristics of the masonries and flat-jack tests to measure the state of stress and the deformability characteristics. The vibration modal shapes of the bridge were than determined by in situ dynamic test. All the experimental investigations as well as the installation of the accelerometers for the dynamic test were carried out with the aid of specialized climbers without any scaffolding. Owing to the difficulties of calculation of an historical bridge, it seemed advisable to compare the results of two different types of structural analysis: "rigid block analysis" proposed by Gilbert and "non-linear analysis with finite element model" which was carried out by using the mechanical parameters obtained by the experimental investigations. The two types of calculation which were used for the structural analysis of the bridge lead to convergent results and clearly show that the structure does not respect the safety standards required by the regulations in force. For this reason a strengthening intervention has been proposed and the design of the intervention has been developed in order to induce negligible modifications of the actual structural behaviour of the bridge and to preserve at the same time the visual impact of the structure.

Heartbreakers and Backstabbers are discussed in episode 11 where this week’s albums are from Ryan Adams and The O’Jays. Backstabbers was a groundbreaking 70s soul/funk release from the O’Jays defining the Philly Soul sound. The hit single Love Train was a huge success along with several other singles from Backstabbers.
Heartbreaker was Ryan Adam’s first solo album after the breakup of Whiskeytown. Recording in Nashville with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings the album has tones of Bob Dylan, Bo Diddley and American Roots music. Heartbreaker would be the first of many albums Adams would release in the early 2000s.

eCrush.com, Inc. v. Cox, Davis & Simpsom, LLC, Mr. Ken Cox, Mr. Brian Simpson, Mr. Ron Davis
Case No. D2004-0552
1. The Parties
The Complainant is eCrush.com, Inc., a Delaware (USA) corporation based in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, represented by Timothy Lavender and Stephanie Carter of the law firm Kelley Drye & Warren, LLP, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The Respondents are Cox, Davis & Simpson, LLC , a Missouri (USA) limited liability company based in St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America; and its owners – Ken Cox, an individual residing in St. Ann, Missouri, United States of America; Brian Simpson, an individual residing in Fenton, Missouri, United States of America; and Ron Davis, an individual residing in Ferguson, Missouri, United States of America. Respondents have designated Mr. Davis as their authorized representative.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The domain name at issue is <ispinthebottle.com> (the “Disputed Domain Name”). It is registered with Melbourne IT trading as Internet Name Worldwide, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (the “Registrar”).
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on July 26, 2004. On July 27, 2004, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the domain name at issue. On July 28, 2004, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details for the administrative, billing, and technical contact.
In response to a notification by the Center that the Complaint was administratively deficient, the Complainant filed an amendment to the Complaint on July 30, 2004, (email) and August 3, 2004 (hard copy).1
The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Policy”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Supplemental Rules”).
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on August 4, 2004. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was August 24, 2004. The Response was filed with the Center on August 23, 2004.
The Center appointed Richard G. Lyon as the sole panelist in this matter on August 31, 2004. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted and has jurisdiction over the proceeding.
4. Factual Background
“Spin the bottle” is a parlor game, well known in the United States, in which a bottle is placed on its side in the center of a circular table around which sit a number of men or women. A man (if those around the table are women) or woman (if those around the table are men) spins the bottle. The person at the table to whom the bottle points after rotating grants the spinner a kiss (or other romantic favor). This dispute involves two parties that use the name of this game for websites that provide on-line dating and matchmaking services.
Complainant holds a United States service mark, used in commerce since 1999, and registered in 2002, on the principal register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for ESPIN THE BOTTLE, for “dating services; computer services, namely providing social introduction services by means of a website, an electronic database and a global computer network . . .” At its principal website, “www.espinthebottle.com”, Complainant has since 1999, operated a dating service that it describes as “a free and fun way to flirt or make new friends online by posting a profile and matching up with people of similar interests”. Complainant’s targets as its users “young single people, particularly teenagers”. Complainant’s service has over 800,000 registered users, a subscriber base that has generated advertising revenues for Complainants in excess of $1 million per year.
Respondents registered the Disputed Domain Name in October 2003. At about the same time Respondents also registered <wespinthebottle.com> and <youspinthebottle.com>. All three of these domain names resolve to the Disputed Domain Name, where Respondents maintain a website devoted to dating and matchmaking services. Both parties describe Respondent’s site as adult oriented, apparently meaning targeted to individuals older than the “young single people” that Complainant seeks as customers. Complainant does not allege that Respondents’ site was or is pornographic.
The Panel’s examination of the parties’ respective websites on September 9, 2004, confirmed that Respondents are using the Disputed Domain Name for a dating and matchmaking service, and that the site does not contain pornographic content. The format and style, if not the target audience, of both sites are similar, and both have commercial links to third party sites (Respondents’ site to general commercial sites, Complainant’s site to other sites operated by Complainant). This examination also revealed that Respondent has changed the name of its dating service (but not its web address) to “litup.com”.
Complainant’s counsel wrote to Respondents on June 30, 2004, demanding that Respondents cease and desist their use of the Disputed Domain Name. Respondents did not reply to this letter.
Except for the Panel’s observation that the sites are similar in format and style (which Respondent denies), the parties do not contest the foregoing facts. Contested factual allegations and related inferences are set out in the following section.
5. Parties’ Contentions
A. Complainant. The Panel summarizes Complainant’s allegations as follows:
Similarity. The Disputed Domain Name is “legally identical and confusingly similar” to Complainant’s ESPIN THE BOTTLE mark. Not using capital letters, deleting the spaces between the words, and adding a top level domain name suffix are legally irrelevant in considering such identity or similarity. Complainant alleges that actual confusion has occurred and that “Complainant has received emails” from confused consumers. It submits as evidence one such email (Complaint, Annex 4) containing the following inquiry “Is your site related to ‘ispinthebottle.com’? If not, are they violating your brand or copyright?”
Rights or Legitimate Interest. Respondents have never been commonly known by the Disputed Domain Name, and Complainant has never authorized Respondents to use its mark. Under United States trademark law, Respondents have constructive knowledge of Complainant’s registered mark. Because of that constructive knowledge, and because a simple trademark search would have revealed Complainant’s mark, no use of a confusingly similar domain name can be legitimate.
Bad Faith. “Upon information and belief, Respondents have registered the Disputed Domain Name solely for the purpose of attempting to trade upon the fame of Complainant’s mark”; “Respondents are seeking to mislead consumers by directing them to a website through the use of a domain name that is confusingly similar” to that mark, so used “to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish” the mark; and Respondents’ website is clearly commercial and in fact a competitor of Complainant. The foregoing, which has created “actual confusion and further likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the Respondent’s website”. Had Respondents conducted a trademark search they would have become aware of Complainant’s mark and thereby represented either falsely or intentionally ignorantly, when registering the Disputed Domain Name, that “the registration of the [Disputed Domain Name] will not infringe upon or otherwise violates the rights of any third party”. (Policy, paragraph 2, incorporated in the Registrar’s registration agreement).
B. Respondent. The Panel summarizes Respondents’ contentions as follows:
Similarity. The Disputed Domain Name incorporates “spin the bottle”, a common phrase said to be “inherent to dating,” to the extent Complainant seeks to enforce rights in that phrase, without the prefix “e”, it is descriptive and “not a valid mark.” The content of Respondents’ website differs from Complainants as illustrated by the cover page.2 The email Complainant submits as evidence of actual confusion is in fact not from a confused consumer but from one of Respondents’ vendors, who queried Complainant at Respondents’ suggestion. Consumers are in fact not confused, as illustrated by an Alexa statistic indicating that Complainant’s site is not among the top ten sites visited by people who visit Respondents’ site. (Response, Annex 3)
Rights or Legitimate Interest. Respondents have developed their site and have therefore been known by the Disputed Domain Name prior to the commencement of this proceeding. Their use is for a legitimate business and not competitive with the Complainant’s website because of the different target audience and different links.
Bad Faith. Respondents deny bad faith in registration or use. They assert that they selected the spin-the-bottle phrase because of its longtime relationship to dating services. When spinthebottle.com was not available, they asked and received the permission of the owner of that website to establish a disputed domain name and Respondents’ other two web addresses.
6. Applicable Standards
To prevail, Complainant must prove the elements set out in paragraph 4(a) of the Policy. These are:
(i) Respondent’s Domain Name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights; and
(ii) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect to the Domain Name; and
(iii) Respondent’s Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Complainant bears the burden of proof on each of these elements.
7. Discussion and Findings
The Disputed Domain Name is not identical, legally or otherwise, to the Complainant’s mark. Except for lower case letters, elimination of the spaces, and addition of a top level domain indicator, all of which Complainant correctly asserts are irrelevant, however, the difference is a single letter.
Changing one letter in a valid mark can often be per se cybersquatting. That is the gist of the typosquatting cases, in which a respondent changes or transposes one or a few letters in a mark, often to nearby letters on a standard computer keyboard. Such obviously intentional imitation of another’s mark has been held to be presumptive, even conclusive, evidence of all three elements of the Policy.
For similar reasons, the addition of a common word or words to a valid mark (for example, “store” or “online”) has also regularly been held not to obviate any confusion created in the minds of consumers seeking the mark owner. The rationale for this almost uniform rule of decision is that the complainant’s mark is the operative or dominant component of the disputed domain name and that the Respondent intentionally incorporated the mark in order to attract consumers seeking the mark owner. The Panel refers to these cases as the “dominant feature” cases.
The facts in this proceeding differ from typosquatting and dominant feature cases in significant respects. The one-letter change is not a misspelling of Complainant’s mark that results in an otherwise nonsensical word or phrase; on the contrary, the Disputed Domain Name and Respondent’s other domain names are everyday phrases incorporating the name of the parlor game. Complainant’s mark is not the common phrase “spin the bottle” and arguably depends upon inclusion of the letter “e”, used in its commonly identifiable form as shorthand for “electronic”, to identify Complainant’s services. Stated differently, it may be that Complainant’s mark requires both the letter “e” and the spin the bottle phrase to identify Complainant’s services; “spin the bottle” is not the mark and not the only dominant feature of the mark. “Spin the bottle” is suggestive of Complainant’s services, so Complainant’s rights in that phrase are weaker than in a distinctive phrase or famous mark.3
The single-letter difference may in fact confuse some Internet users. Does that possibility alone, or even that fact alone (if fact it be) suffice to establish the Policy’s first element? In proving confusion in a trademark infringement action, the answer would be “no”. Even if the legal or evidentiary standard differs under the Policy, the Panel believes that a single-letter difference does not automatically prove confusing similarity under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy.
The parties’ evidence of confusion is conflicting, with Respondent’s Alexa submission considerably more persuasive than Complainant’s evidence (as opposed to broader conclusionary allegations). Respondent’s challenge to Complainant’s evidence is entirely credible. The Panel would have no difficulty finding the Disputed Domain Name confusingly similar to “spin the bottle”, but much more difficulty finding a proper sentence confusingly similar to Complainant’s partially distinctive mark.
Similarity and confusion thus depend to some extent upon disputed factual issues. In this proceeding the Panel has no means of cross-examining either party, independently obtaining evidence, or reviewing and evaluating evidence submitted by the parties.
The limited evidentiary record necessarily present in a dispute under the Policy and the Panel’s restricted fact-finding ability similarly complicate evaluation of evidence related to the requirements of paragraphs 4(a)(ii) and 4(a)(iii) of the Policy. Neither Complainant’s “constructive notice” theory nor Respondents’ failure to conduct a trademark search creates an absolute and inflexible rule establishing illegitimacy or bad faith. Complainant’s “information and belief” factual assertions and related conclusions may appear on the surface more believable than Respondents’ version of events, but this is not a case in which Complainant’s version is the only credible conclusion. Respondents are not frequent cybersquatters, have not provided false contact information, have not warehoused the Disputed Domain Name, have not tried to sell the Disputed Domain Name to the mark owner, and have appeared in this proceeding with evidence of what is at least a reasonable explanation.
Complainant bears the burden of proof on each element of the Policy. In a close case, the panel should lean toward the Respondents’ view of things. Interstate National Dealer Services, Inc. v. Selwyn Colley, WIPO Case No. D2003-0934; Rug Doctor, L.P. v. Barry Bourdage, WIPO Case No. DTV2003-0002. On the record in this proceeding the Panel finds that Complainant has not met its evidentiary burden under paragraph 4(a) of the Policy.
A final consideration supports the Panel’s denial of the Complaint. Respondents are identifiable and subject to jurisdiction in a United States court. When several elements of this proceeding turn on credibility and the fact-finder’s decision on which party’s version to believe, litigation is a far more suitable means of resolving Respondents’ entitlement (or not) to the Disputed Domain Name. Greyson International, Inc. v. William Loncar, WIPO Case No. D2003-0805.
For the foregoing reasons, the Complaint is denied.
Richard G. Lyon
Dated: September 11, 2004
1 The amendment is irrelevant to the merits of the proceeding. For convenience the Panel refers to the complaint as amended as the “Complaint”.
2 Respondents submit samples of the cover pages of each party’s site.
3 This is not to suggest that Complainant's mark is in any way invalid. A panel under the Policy may ignore a valid service mark only in the most compelling circumstances. See Classmates Online, Inc. v. John Zuccarini, individually and dba Rave Club Berlin, WIPO Case No. D2002-0635.

What are dark spots and what are the other common names of dark spots?
Dark spots are patches of skin that are darker than the skin around them. They can appear as small, flat spots or as larger patches, and can range in color from light brown to black. These spots are commonly known as age spots, liver spots, or sunspots, and they typically appear on areas of the skin that have been exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms.
For dark spots on face, there are various causes, including sun damage, hormonal changes, and inflammation. Hormonal changes, for example during pregnancy, can lead to a condition called melasma, which causes dark patches on the face. Acne can also leave dark spot skin and dark spots on face.
There are several treatment options for dark spots on face, including topical dark spot removal creams, chemical peels, and laser therapy. Some home remedies for dark spots on face include applying lemon juice, vitamin c face serum or aloe vera to the affected area. It is important to wear sunscreen with minimum SPF30, and protect the skin from the sun to prevent further darkening of the spots.
Ayurvedic overview of dark spots
According to Ayurveda, an imbalance in the pitta dosha is a major cause for dark spots on face. Pitta dosha represents fire and water elements in the body. The excess heat in the body causes hyperpigmentation, leading to the formation of dark spots on skin and dark spot lips.
Ayurveda suggests various natural remedies as a treatment for dark spots on face. For dark spots on face, ayurveda extensively uses herbs which have cooling effect on the skin. Applying sandalwood paste, turmeric, or aloe vera can even out dark spot skin. Additionally, dietary changes such as reducing the intake of spicy, oily, and fried foods can help balance the pitta dosha and prevent further dark spots on face.
In Ayurveda, it is believed that a holistic approach, including a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress reduction, can help improve overall skin health and is a known prevention for dark spots on face
Where can dark spots occur on skin
Dark spots on skin can occur on various parts of the body, and their location can often indicate the cause of the hyperpigmentation. The most common areas where dark spots occur are the face, neck, hands, arms, and legs.
- On the face, dark spots may appear on the forehead, cheeks, and around the mouth. They can be caused by sun damage, acne scars, hormonal changes, or aging.
- On the neck, dark spots may occur due to friction from clothing or jewelry, exposure to the sun, or genetics.
- On the hands and arms, dark spots may be caused by sun damage, aging, or certain medications.
- On the legs, dark spots may occur due to varicose veins, injury, or exposure to the sun.
While dark spots on skin are typically harmless, it is important to monitor any changes in size, shape, or color, as this could be a sign of skin cancer. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist if you notice any unusual changes in dark spots on your skin.
Causes of dark spots on skin
Dark spots on face are a common concern for many individuals. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, age, and genetics.
- Sun Exposure: When the skin is exposed to the sun, it produces more melanin, which can cause dark spots to form. Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy, can also lead to increased melanin production and could be the cause for dark spots on face and skin.
- Age: Age is another factor that is the cause for dark spots on face and skin. As the skin becomes thinner and less able to repair itself over time, it causes pigmentation of skin.
- Genetics: Genetics could be a possible cause for dark spots on face and skin. Some people are more prone to developing dark spot skin than others. For prevention and treatment of dark spots on face, it is important to wear sunscreen, avoid tanning beds, use gentle skincare products, and consider professional treatments.
Natural treatment for dark spots on face and skin
There are several natural remedies that can help to treat dark spots on the face.
- Lemon Juice as a remedy for dark spots on face:
One of the most effective treatments for dark spots on face is lemon juice, which contains natural skin-lightening agents that can help fade dark spot skin over time.
To use lemon juice as a treatment for dark spots on face, simply apply freshly squeezed lemon juice to the affected area and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off. Please be mindful of avoiding lemon juice near the eyes.
- Apple Cider Vinegar as a remedy for dark spots on face
Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which aids in fading away the skin pigmentation and can be used to treat for dark spots on face. Apply a small amount of apple cider vinegar to the dark spots on your face and let it sit for 2-3 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
- Aloe Vera as a remedy for dark spots on face
Aloe vera is another natural remedy that can help to fade away dark spots on face. Aloe contains a compound called aloin that can inhibit the production of melanin. Simply apply a small amount of aloe vera gel to the affected area and leave it on overnight.
- Honey as a remedy for dark spots on face
Another effective home remedy for dark spots on face is honey, which contains natural enzymes that can help exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots on the face .
Simply apply a small amount of honey to the affected area and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
- Green tea as a remedy for dark spots on face
Green tea contains antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and improve skin health, while lemon juice contains natural skin-lightening agents.
Other natural remedies for dark spot on face
Other natural remedies that may be effective for dark spots on face include turmeric, green tea, and honey.
While all the above remedies and treatments can be helpful, it is important to remember that they may take time to see results and should be used in conjunction with other preventative measures such as sunscreen and a healthy skincare routine.
Can ayurvedic herbs help to fade away dark spot skin?
Ayurvedic herbs have been used for centuries to treat a variety of skin concerns, including dark spots on the face. Some of the most commonly used herbs for dark spots on face include turmeric, neem, sandalwood, and amla.
- Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce the appearance of dark spot skin. Neem is rich in antioxidants and can help improve skin health by fighting free radicals and reducing inflammation. It is a native plant in India and is widely used as a home remedy for many ailments, joint pain and for various skin concerns.
- Sandalwood has natural skin-lightening properties and can help reduce the appearance of dark spots when applied topically.
Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, is a powerhouse of vitamin C and can help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots on face over time.
While these ayurvedic herbs can be an effective treatment for dark spots on face, it is important to use them in the correct amount and in conjunction with other preventive measures such as sunscreen and a healthy skincare routine.
Prevention of dark spots on face
For preventing dark spots on face and to maintain healthy, radiant-looking skin, there are various measures that can be incorporated.
One of the most important preventative measures for dark spots on skin is to wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even when it is cloudy outside, to protect the skin from harmful UV rays that can cause dark spot skin. Additionally, avoiding tanning beds and limiting sun exposure during peak hours can help reduce the risk of dark spots on the face.
Maintaining a healthy skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing can also help prevent dark spot skin from forming. Using ayurvedic skincare products that contain ingredients such as vitamin C, saffron and turmeric can also help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots on the face over time.
It is also important to avoid picking or squeezing acne or other blemishes on the face, as this can lead to inflammation and scarring that can increase the risk of dark spot skin. Finally, maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated can help support overall skin health and prevent the formation of dark spots on the face.
Natural ayurvedic products for dark spots on face- dark spot skin cream, dark spot serum, face pack for dark spot
Ayurveda offers a range of natural products that can be used to treat dark spots on the face.
- One of the most popular product for dark spot on face is dark spot skin cream, which contains natural ingredients such as turmeric, and saffron. These ingredients work together to help reduce the appearance of dark spot skin by brightening the skin and promoting cell regeneration.
- Another popular product is dark spot serum, which typically contains ingredients such as amla and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients work to reduce inflammation, improve skin texture, and lighten dark spots over time.
- In addition to these topical treatments, ayurvedic face packs for glowing skin can also be used for dark spots on face. These packs, for dark spots on face, typically contain natural ingredients such as turmeric, multani mitti and star anise, which work to exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spot skin over time.
When to consult a doctor for dark spots on face and dark spot lips
While many dark spots on face and dark spot lips can be treated with over-the-counter remedies and natural remedies, it is important to know when to consult a doctor.
If you notice any changes in the size, shape, or color of a dark spot lips, or if it becomes raised or has irregular edges, it is important to see a doctor. This may indicate a more serious condition such as melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
Other signs that you should see a doctor include if the dark spot skin and dark spot lips is painful, itchy, or bleeding, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or weight loss. If you have a dark spot on your lips that is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or swelling, it is also important to see a doctor. This is because dark spots on the lips can be a sign of certain conditions such as oral cancer or a viral infection. Finally, if you have a history of skin cancer or are at higher risk due to factors such as fair skin, a history of sun exposure, or a family history of skin cancer, it is important to see a dermatologist for regular skin checks to monitor for any changes or abnormalities. In general, if you have any concerns or questions for dark spots on face or dark spot lips, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I don't understand your question. It would help if you shared the background as to why the last month's salary was not paid in the first place.
Here are my thoughts -
If he has worked for that period, he should be paid for those days - nothing more, nothing less. Why would you not pay it?
Has he done a proper handover at the time of leaving?
Ask yourself, what difference will this employee's salary of one month, make to the balance sheet if paid? Is there some special benefit or savings that the organization is going to gain?
If there is a question of fraud, due to which you held back payment, hopefully you documented through inquiry and other legal processes.
If the employee absconded, hope you followed due legal process of termination which is clearly documented. In this case you can calculate the F&F settlement and adjust salary against notice period if any, as per your organization's policy.
I wonder if the other employees think well of your organization when you indulge is such management practices. Overall, please understand that by trying to hold back salary payout unnecessarily, you are hurting your organization's brand image.

#AnonymousYou are seeking advise for an unethical activity. It’s sad that employers desire to deprive someone his hard earned money. Shameful.
21st June 2014 From Nigeria
#AnonymousEven the court of law will call this shameful. It’s so depriving and disgusting that employers like you exist. Legally, morally and ethically you have to pay his dues.
24th June 2014 From Nigeria
Important to ask that a employee of our firm came after two years to get his one month salary,he worked with us for almost one year,is there any way/legal rule to avoid him or to decline to pay or doing so will create any legal action through labour department.
Waiting to hear
I am not denying to pay. If you do not want to pay him than this is legal position & employer can not hold salary for any one worked with him either ways.

Israel Fires American Chief of Dead Sea Scrolls Project
Israel today announced it has fired the American academic who led an effort to translate the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest known copies of the Old Testament. The decision came after the professor made anti-Jewish remarks.
The announcement cited “health reasons” for removal of Harvard University Prof. John Strugnell from the project, but the 60-year-old scholar has been sharply criticized for an interview containing anti-Jewish remarks published in November in the Hebrew daily Haaretz.
The project also had come under increasing fire for the slowness with which the scholars’ work is being published.
Strugnell has worked on the scrolls for more than three decades and has been editor of the scrolls project since 1987. Earlier in December, other scholars working on the project voted to have him replaced.
The scrolls, some of which date to 100 B.C., were found starting in 1947 in caves near the Dead Sea. They contain the oldest known copies of the Old Testament, other biblical writings, ancient literature and poetry.
In his announcement today, Amir Drori, the director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, said Strugnell was being relieved at the suggestion of the agency’s three-man Scrolls Advisory Committee.
Strugnell, who has been in ill health, was reported hospitalized in the United States.
In the interview published Nov. 9, Strugnell, who is Roman Catholic, described Judaism as “a Christian heresy” and suggested that its adherents should convert.


SAN ANTONIO – COVID-19 related hospitalizations are still trending downward in San Antonio and Bexar County, numbers indicate.
San Antonio Metropolitan Health District officials reported 48,198 total COVID-19 cases and 992 total deaths in Bexar County, as of Saturday, an increase of 124 new cases.
The 7-day moving average of cases is 143, as of Friday.
One new death was reported today.
According to numbers on the city’s website, 260 patients are hospitalized, 110 are in the intensive care unit and 55 are on ventilators. There are 15% of staffed beds available and 68% of ventilators available.


Much has been made about Syracuse’s excellent rebounding this year. NunesMagician recently highlighted how SU is out-rebounding its opponents by 12.4 per game, and after the Orange’s victory over UConn Boeheim himself said the team “has not rebounded at this level since Derrick Coleman.”
But what has been missed is how much of that success is coming off of Syracuse’s own missed shots. According to KenPom, the Orange ranks second in the country in offensive rebounding percentage at 42.4 percent.
That’s more than 10 percent better than last year’s team and the best Syracuse performance in KenPom’s database. The next best season for a Jim Boeheim team came in 2005 when SU ranked seventh at 40 percent.
This success on the offensive glass is due largely to SU’s two centers: Paschal Chukwu and Bourama Sidibe. They lead the team with offensive rebounding percentages of 13.3 percent and 12.3 percent, respectively.
While Oshae Brissett has garnered most of the attention for his rebounding volume, his success has come largely on the defensive boards. He leads the team with a 22.5 defensive rebounding percentage, but he is bested on the offensive glass by fellow freshman forward Marek Dolezaj 11.8 to 8.5 percent.

The New Cholesterol Guidelines: Worth the Wait?
Since the release of the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) cholesterol guidelines in 2002,1 the medical community has been eagerly waiting for a new document that summarizes all the dense basic science and clinical research data in the field of lipids over the past decade. We were anticipating recommendations on how to improve residual risk assessment using more inclusive measures of atherogenic cholesterol such as non- high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and Coronary Artery Calcium. We were also waiting for a new well-validated method of estimating cardiovascular risk and a better understanding of when to add non-statin lipid lowering medications. However, the new guideline 2 has proposed a major shift in treating cholesterol and has become one of the more controversial guidelines ever released. So, were the new guidelines worth the wait?
Why it Was Worth the Wait
Following the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine,3 the task force synthesized its recommendations on statin therapy exclusively from well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses; an idealistic novel approach making the guidelines one of the strongest evidence-based documents ever released. They acknowledged the absence of clinical trial data that support treatment to specific low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-HDL-C goals and instead identified four major populations that benefit from statins as follows:
- Patients with clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
- Patients with LDL-C ≥ 190 mg/dL
- Patients with diabetes mellitus, age 40-75, with LDL-C 70-189 mg/dL
- Patients without diabetes mellitus, age 40-75 with LDL-C 70-189 mg/dL and a 10-year ASCVD risk ≥ 7.5% per the new risk calculator
Another major step forward in the new guideline is the inclusion of stroke as an outcome in the new ASCVD risk calculator, a controversial subject since most studies do not differentiate between embolic or atherosclerotic stroke. In contrast to ATP III guidelines that recommended an LDL-C target < 100 mg/dL in diabetic patients, the new guideline endorses the use of moderate to high intensity statins in all diabetic patients between 40-75 years of age with LDL-C 70-189 mg/dL. The new guideline also acknowledges that adherence to a healthy diet and lifestyle is the keystone of cardiovascular health. Finally, they encourage physicians to engage with their patients in a healthy discussion about the risks and benefits of statin therapy before initiating treatment. In summary, the task force has succeeded in consolidating the crème de la crème of data into simplified guidelines that can be easily followed by all medical professionals and treat the patient not the number.
Why it Was Not Worth the Wait
Eliminating treatment targets: A paradigm shift
The new guideline has caused much controversy by changing the fundamentals of cholesterol treatment from an approach that treats to specific LDL-C and non-HDL-C targets to one that treats specific patient populations regardless of their lipid profile. It encourages repeating a lipid panel 4-12 weeks after the initiation of statin therapy to assess patient compliance rather than the efficacy of statin therapy. It presumes that high-intensity statin therapy reduces LDL-C by ≥ 50% while moderate-intensity reduces it by 30% to < 50%. However, this reduction is not a universal finding in all studies because multiple factors are involved in determining each individual's response to statin therapy.
For example, in ASTEROID (A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Rosuvastatin on Intravascular Ultrasound-Derived Coronary Atheroma Burden),4 secondary prevention patients on high-intensity rosuvastatin therapy of 40 mg daily had a mean LDL-C reduction of 53% only; thus, approximately half of the patients did not meet the definition of high-intensity statin therapy in the new guideline. The casual role of LDL-C in the pathophysiology of ASCVD and the totality of evidence from RCTs and other studies point towards one core concept; the lower the LDL-C, the less the ASCVD risk. As pointed out by Raymond et al,5 there is a reproducible relationship between the LDL-C level achieved and the absolute risk in primary and secondary prevention populations (Slide 1). Therefore, we believe that having LDL-C or non-HDL-C treatment targets is crucial in assessing and treating residual risk at follow up after initiating statin therapy.
Limited role for non-statin lipid lowering medications
The new guideline makes it clear that statins are a must, but fails to acknowledge what to do when statins are not enough or when patients are intolerant to statins. It does not strongly recommend the use of non-statin lipid lowering medications because of the lack of definitive data that proves its efficacy. A recent systematic review showed that the combination of a lower dose statin and another lipid-lowering medication is more effective at lowering LDL-C than a high dose statin alone.6 There is no doubt about the efficacy of high-intensity statins as first-line therapy in high-risk patient; however, the role of non-statin medications in reducing residual risk and in patients with statin intolerance is minimized in the new guidelines. Non-statin lipid lowering medications are very effective at lowering LDL-C and most experts would add one or more when the LDL-C level remains elevated or when patients have recurrent ASCVD despite high dose statin therapy.
The new 10-year ASCVD risk calculator
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the new guideline is the new risk calculator. The same guideline that eliminates treatment goals due to the lack of RCT data to support it, recommends using a calculator that was neither extensively validated in primary prevention populations nor released early for public commentary and expert opinion. It was derived from five population-based cohorts of African Americans and non-Hispanic whites and relies heavily on age and sex to determine ASCVD risk while ignoring other important factors such as family history.2
Soon after the release of the new guideline, Drs. Ridker and Cook showed that when the new calculator was applied to more recent cohorts such as the Women's Health Study, Physician's Health Study and Women's Health Initiative, it overestimated the 10-year ASCVD risk by 75% to 150% making approximately 30 million more Americans eligible for statin treatment.7
A recent study in a Swiss population showed the new risk calculator doubled the prevalence of high-risk individuals compared to the European Society of Cardiology SCORE equation.8 It led to a 30-fold increase in the number of high-risk individuals amongst those 50-60 years old and a total extra cost of treatment of 333.7 million Euros per year. Moreover, the new calculator makes virtually all African American men older than 62 years old with no other risk factors candidates for at least a moderate intensity statin (Slide 2). Given its inconsistent performance in different populations, we would have expected extensive validation of the efficacy of this calculator in large prospective studies before its release.
Primary prevention and the unfortunate young
The new guideline recommendations for using statins in primary prevention are limited to patients 40-75 years old unless their LDL-C is ≥ 190 mg/dL. However, the process of atherosclerosis starts at very young age and therefore failure to start lipid-lowering medications in the younger dyslipidemic population is a failure of primary prevention (Slide 3). Despite the absence of RCTs that address statin therapy in the young age group, a moderate or high dose statin may be considered in certain high-risk individuals.
What happened to hypertriglyceridemia?
Hypertriglyceridemia is a marker of dyslipidemia. In the current era of diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, we have witnessed increasing prevalence of elevated triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins, characteristic of insulin resistance. These include very-low density lipoproteins, intermediate-density lipoproteins, and chylomicron remnant particles that may be more atherogenic than LDL-C.9 Therefore, hypertriglyceridemia may be a potential indication to assess residual risk by measuring more inclusive measures of atherogenic cholesterol such as non-HDL-C or apoB and possibly initiate statins.
The new guideline document, with all its pros and cons, represents a colossal shift in cholesterol treatment. In the midst of all this controversy, we believe we can find common ground where we all can agree on certain core concepts. We can all agree that treatment with a moderate to high-intensity statin is a must for all patients within the four major groups identified by the guideline. We can also agree that LDL-C and non-HDL-C treatment targets are crucial for residual risk assessment and treatment. Non-statin lipid lowering medications may be beneficial for reducing residual risk and for statin intolerant patients. The new calculator should be validated extensively in more cohorts and needs to include other factors such as family history. Physicians and patients must engage in a healthy dialogue about the benefits and risks of treatment with statins as well as non-statins. In conclusion, we should always remember that patients are unique and guidelines are only a tool for direction not for dictating clinical practice.
