International assignment to Germany or new employment in Germany?
When Chinese companies consider sending employees to Germany for a limited time in order to establish a German presence, there is always the question whether to assign employees on the basis of their current Chinese employment contract with an addendum governing the engagement in Germany or to conclude a new (German) employment contract directly with the German presence.
What seems to be a formality has relevant impact on immigration, social security and HR relationship aspects:
Generally, all foreign nationals require a residence and work permit to reside and work in Germany. There are different categories of such permits depending on the individual's profession, qualification and position, the duration and reason of stay, with different prerequisites and different application processes. The most common category for the employment of foreign employees in Germany is the so-called Blue Card, which is a title specifically addressed to highly qualified individuals who (i) hold either a German university degree or a recognized or comparable foreign university degree and (ii) have a concrete job offer for adequate employment in Germany with an annual salary of at least EUR 50,800 in 2017 (or threshold of EUR 39,624 for individuals with a background in maths, IT, natural sciences, technology or physicians).
Where these prerequisites are met, the Blue Card is a fast and easy way to achieve a work permit for employees in Germany (applicants should allow about 6-8 weeks for the application process). However, the Blue Card requires conclusion of an employment relationship in Germany with all social security consequences so that it is not possible to apply for such Blue Card on the basis of a Chinese employment contract. Also, from an employee relationship perspective, conclusion of such new employment in Germany loosens the relationship between the individual and the Chinese mother company as the general set up does not necessarily provide for the individual's return to China.
In addition, even though the Blue Card will at first be granted for a specific employer and employment, within the first two years of employment any changes to the employer or position will require the consent of the local foreigners' office (to check that the prerequisites are still met). After 33 months of proper employment and payment of social contributions in Germany, individuals can apply for an ongoing residence title, which allows employment with another employer in Germany. Individuals with sufficient German language skills can apply for such title already after 21 months.
For Chinese companies that wish to keep a stronger relationship with the employee abroad, the preferred set-up is typically an international assignment to Germany on the basis of the existing Chinese contract with the employing legal entity in China. On one hand, this set-up allows for a stronger contractual link to the employee abroad, it qualifies for residence titles in Germany that are specifically addressed to assignment scenarios (which do not allow to switch to another employer) and depending on the duration of the intended stay it may even be possible to benefit from the existing German-Chinese Social Security Treaty to remain subject to the Chinese social security system during the assignment.
With regard to immigration, Germany has recently adopted a new residence title that amends the existing residence titled. The new title is based on a European Directive is specifically targeted at non-EU nationals who apply to be admitted to the territory of an EU-Member State in the framework of an intra-corporate transfer as managers, specialists or trainee employees (so-called ICT-Card). With the new ICT-Card Germany has now adopted an easy way for intra-corporate transfers to gain a work permit for Germany. As application for such title needs to be made at the place of residence outside the EU, the process will take slightly longer than an application for a Blue Card (presumably 8-10 weeks in the initial phase) but due to the formalized process it will in any event be faster and easier compared to secondment arrangements under the pre-existing rules.
Were residence titles usually only grant access to one country, the new ICT-Card also includes the right to stay either short-term or long-term in any other EU-Member States (except for the UK, Ireland and Denmark) and to work in a company that belongs to the same undertaking or group of undertakings under enhanced rules. For example, where Chinese managers are seconded to Germany to oversee operations in Germany, it will now also be possible for them to actively be involved and manage operations in other EU-Member States and work there either short term (90 days within any 180 days period) or even beyond 90 days provided that the stay in the second Member State will not exceed the stay in Germany. This residence title therefore not only combines the advantages as described above but also addresses the needs of multi-national undertakings and facilitates movement for non-EU nationals within the EU.

Eye Spyware
Software that can track a computer user's every move (known as "spyware" and "adware") is finding its way into more PCs - unsolicited. Some programs allow advertisers to find the precise type of customer they want and then send a targeted pop-up ad.
A similar practice of precision marketing has been done for decades via the telephone and mail. But the difference with the Internet is a higher level of personal information that's gathered with every website visited.
Google, the premier search engine on the Web, has even set up a free e-mail service that tracks key words in a person's e-mail and then pops up a related ad.
Spyware is installed invisibly on a computer when an individual shares a file, downloads free or paid software programs, or visits certain websites. It can be used to create "backdoors" into a person's computer, allowing third parties to steal personal information.
It also uses up computer power, can crash machines, and create a blizzard of unwanted ads.
Last week, one Internet service provider teamed up with a maker of anti-spyware to audit some 1 million computers. It found 29.5 million pieces of spyware - or 28 per computer.
Some computer-focused organizations, like the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington, are working to increase public awareness of spyware and its risks. One conclusion - users must pay closer attention to the details in licensing agreements that pop up on the screen before clicking "OK" to downloading documents, or anything else. Often, those agreements legally allow the addition of spy- or adware to the user's computer.
Legislation in Congress rightly aims to keep spyware from being installed without user notice and consent. States, too, are considering similar action.
This week, the Federal Trade Commission spent a day focusing on the problem, weighing possible regulation. But the first line of defense lies with the individual user who can develop the skills or buy the help to keep spyware out in the cold.

NAHB courses are not just for home builders and remodelers here in the United States. I have had the pleasure of teaching NAHB Education classes in Canada since 2011. I have visited five provinces, many of them multiple times, and have spoken with dozens of Canadian builders about their businesses, the market and challenges they face every day.
The most striking observation is the overwhelming similarity between our own businesses and that of our friends to the north.
A remodeler is called a renovator in Canada. Aside from that, they deal with exactly the same struggles: finding clients, overwhelming product choices, permits, inspections and trade partner shortages.
Most importantly for me when I was first asked to teach there, is that due to the large volume of trade with the U.S. building market, all materials and specifications remain in "feet and inches" in an otherwise metric country.
The trade association is also different from ours. In Canada, the national association focuses primarily on legislative issues. The provincial associations deal more with member services, local regulatory issues, marketing through home shows, expos and tours, and possibly, providing education. A few have very well-developed educational programs with certifications.
My first trip to Canada was hosted by the . The maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, along with Newfoundland & Labrador, make up Atlantic Canada. This area has the oldest median age in Canada. It's no surprise then that the now revised (CAPS) course was the program of most interest.
Canadian demographics are very similar in terms of baby boomers, homeownership rates and aging-related challenges. Of course, health insurance is not one of those. Its national healthcare program provides substantial benefits designed to promote independence and recovery at home, including occupational therapy.
has been proactive in promoting aging-in-place and includes several resources online to educate home owners. Financing options are similar to the US with equity, refinance and reverse mortgages available.
So far, the CAPS classes taught in Canada have used the U.S.-based curriculum. I researched and added some Canada-specific statistics, but the students have to learn the U.S. data to pass the same test used throughout the program.
NAHB hopes to create a Canadian version with the latest revisions to the CAPS courses, which should really increase demand over the border. The good news is that 95% of the content is relevant and accurate in both countries.
In addition to CAPS, there is demand for business and practical courses. Business management, estimating, and business accounting and job costing courses have all been well received. I have also delivered talks at trade shows in Canada on a few occasions and found the interest and questions very similar to any U.S. audience. Attendance at the International Builders' Show is quite common for the builders and renovators I met and most take advantage of education there as well.
Vince Butler, GMR, GMB, CAPS, is an NAHB Education instructor who teaches classes across the U.S. and Canada. He was the 2006 NAHB Remodelers Council Chairman, the 2008 NAHB Membership Committee Chairman, was the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) Instructor of the Year in 2012 and was the 2014 NAHB Education Committee Chairman.

Cryptocurrency Issues, Financial Markets, What We're Watching
Winter in June: Distress in the Crypto Industry and Potential Regulatory Responses
In recent months, the crypto industry has experienced an unprecedented downturn that some have dubbed a "Crypto Winter." While cryptocurrencies typically fluctuate in price more than most other assets, their values dropped dramatically in the first half of 2022 as several interrelated factors in the traditional economy and the crypto sector collided. The effects of this crash have rippled through the space, causing a number of companies to experience significant financial distress. Notably, crypto firms Voyager Digital, Celsius Network, and Three Arrows Capital all faced insolvency and filed for chapter 11 or similar foreign proceedings this summer. The crypto market has rebounded somewhat since the June 2022 low, but the future remains uncertain.
This crash, along with the longstanding regulatory uncertainty in the sector, also prompted U.S. regulators and legislators to consider more stringent controls on cryptocurrencies. Notably, the United States is not alone in grappling with these issues. This June article from Weil's London office describes the UK regulatory situation and also discusses systemic risks certain cryptocurrencies may pose to the broader economy.
As the crypto insolvencies progress, courts in the United States and elsewhere may have the opportunity to decide and clarify open questions of law regarding cryptocurrency. And regulation responding to this distress may further alter the legal landscape around these assets. Thus, the present Crypto Winter may ultimately result in significant changes to the legal rules governing the sector.
The "Crypto Winter"
Beginning in late 2021, the price of cryptocurrencies experienced a significant downturn, and the impact of this crash has affected participants throughout the industry.
The roots of this downturn date back to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of the coronavirus led to a sharp crash in traditional asset markets, and cryptocurrency prices fell in tandem. However, as central banks and governments enacted relief programs designed to alleviate this economic turmoil, asset prices skyrocketed to never-before-seen levels. In 2022, these relief initiatives began to taper off. This stimulus wind-down coincided with increasing fears of a coming recession, a broader selloff in tech assets, and a rise in commodity prices following sanctions imposed in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Crypto prices did not escape the resultant downturn, and values dropped steadily throughout early 2022.
This decline accelerated in earnest in May 2022, when the stablecoin UST lost its "peg" to the U.S. dollar. Stablecoins—a particular kind of crypto asset—seek to maintain a specific value relative to some other asset or commodity. UST aimed to maintain a consistent value of $1.00 by enabling users to exchange the coin for its sister cryptocurrency, Luna. Users could sell UST for Luna when UST prices rose above $1.00, and could buy UST at a discount when prices fell below $1.00. In May, 2022, however, this system failed, users rushed to sell their holdings of the cryptocurrencies, and both Luna and UST became completely worthless.
The collapse of Luna and UST erased nearly $18 billion in value. And, because cryptocurrency traders relied extensively on UST as a medium of exchange for other cryptocurrencies, the "de-pegging" of the stablecoin caused the previously steady decline of crypto prices to accelerate into an outright crash. For example, between May 1, 2022 and June 1, 2022, the price of a Bitcoin plummeted from roughly $30,000 to below $20,000. Just six months before the crash, on November 2021, Bitcoin prices reached all-time highs in excess of $68,000.
This crash has impacted many crypto-focused companies and funds. Firms with significant exposure to UST and Luna have experienced particular distress. And the Crypto Winter has led to the insolvency of major cryptocurrency exchanges Voyager Digital and Celsius Network, as well as crypto-focused hedge fund Three Arrows Capital. Both Voyager and Celsius are seeking to sell significant assets in chapter 11, which may be good news for investors who believe in the future of crypto and seek to expand their crypto capabilities while the market is relatively low. Contact Weil for more information about these asset sales, and see this April 2021 article from Weil's private equity group for a discussion of issues unique to crypto-related mergers.
Courts grappling with the unique issues inherent to these crypto insolvencies may soon clarify open legal questions regarding these digital assets. As such, the present Crypto Winter and its impact in the industry has the potential to generate a body of case law that shapes the space going forward.
Regulatory Response
In light of this recent distress, and because the United States currently lacks a comprehensive framework for cryptocurrency regulation, officials at all levels of the federal government have begun to consider regulation of the space. Because stablecoins create particular economic risks, as evidenced by the collapse of Luna and UST, regulators have begun to focus on those assets in particular.
The United States has not yet adopted any clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrency. For that reason, a number of federal agencies have claimed provisional authority over the sector by declaring that certain digital tokens meet the definition of a class of assets within their purview.1 For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") claims authority over some cryptocurrencies by declaring that they qualify as "securities."2 And the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") has done the same by declaring that certain assets are "commodities."3 The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") has also clarified that entities that transmit and accept virtual currency must register as money services businesses and maintain formal anti-money laundering programs.4 Other regulatory agencies have also taken an interest in cryptocurrency, and this October 2021 article from Weil's Washington, D.C. office details additional guidance issued by the Department of the Treasury.
Officials at all levels of the federal government have begun working to resolve this regulatory confusion, especially where stablecoins are concerned. In November 2021, the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, along with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a report on stablecoin risks and potential regulations.5 That document identified a number of risks inherent to the stablecoin ecosystem, including the possibility of a loss of value and resultant run on stablecoins, the use of digital assets for illicit financing, and the potential for investor abuses like insider trading.6 The report further recommended legislation to, among other measures, require stablecoin issuers to register as insured depository institutions.7 On February 8, 2022, the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee held a hearing to review this report and begin considering potential legislation on the subject.8
On March 9, 2022, President Biden signed an executive order broadly encouraging federal action with respect to cryptocurrency.9 Along with other measures, the order called for the Department of the Treasury to develop policy recommendations and an oversight regime to address the implications of the growing crypto sector.10 The order also directed the Federal Reserve to research the issuance of a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency, which would function as a government-issued digital version of the U.S. dollar—essentially an official stablecoin.11 In June 2022, the Department of the Treasury, in consultation with several other agencies, issued the first regulatory framework to respond this order and established a regime for international coordination on the subject of cryptocurrency.12
U.S. legislators have also begun to focus on stablecoins, and two major bills on the subject have been introduced in the 117th Congress. In March 2022, Senator Pat Toomey introduced the Stablecoin Transparency Act.13 This Bill would require any issuer of stablecoins to register as either a money transmitting business, a national limited payment stablecoin issuer, or an insured depository institution.14 The bill would also clarify that stablecoins are not securities, and thereby prevent the SEC from regulating them. The law would instead grant the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency authority to regulate stablecoin issuers, and would also require issuers to disclose the assets backing their coins' value.15
Separately, in June 2022, Senators Kristen Gillibrand and Cynthia Lummis introduced the Responsible Financial Innovation Act.16 The Gillibrand-Lummis bill covers the entire crypto industry, and grants the CFTC primary regulatory authority over the sector. The bill would also require stablecoin issuers to maintain liquid assets equaling 100 percent of the face value of all issued stablecoins, make monthly disclosures describing those assets, and redeem coins for the equivalent value in fiat currency on demand.17
In the U.S. House of Representatives, a bipartisan bill to regulate stablecoins has stalled for the time being.18 While co-drafters Patrick McHenry and Maxine Waters have kept the language of the bill under wraps, the legislation would reportedly allow banks to issue stablecoins and appoint the Federal Reserve as overseer of non-bank issuers.19
All three bills would go a long way toward managing the risks associated with stablecoins and would also resolve the overlapping authority in the space by identifying a primary regulator. Officials in the Biden Administration seem hopeful for the pending bills.20 But, given entrenched gridlock in the U.S. Congress, a legislative solution is far from guaranteed. It is also important to note that state regulations, which are beyond the scope of this article, should also be considered and can be more comprehensive than the developing federal framework.
The crypto sector remains volatile, even as the space has matured. The collapse of Terra and Luna show how stablecoins in particular can create risk in the space. And the recent insolvencies of Voyager, Celsius, and Three Arrows Capital, as well as other firms like the Singapore-based crypto lender Vauld, demonstrate the potential for this volatility to result in financial distress for firms with exposure to cryptocurrency. Crypto insolvencies raise novel legal issues, and case law that emerges from these insolvencies may soon shape the sector going forward. Regulators in the United States and elsewhere have also begun considering significant changes to cryptocurrency rules, singling out stablecoins for immediate attention. These factors together mean that the present Crypto Winter is likely to result in significant changes to legal rules governing the crypto industry.
Weil will be following closely the regulations and court rulings that result from this interesting period in an industry that likely is here to stay and will continue to grow.

Q: Youtube API update default thumbnail from available thumbnails by URL I want to change default thumbnail of video from 3 Youtube available thumbnails. But seems there's no case like this.
My case: I uploaded video to Youtube successfully. Then it returns 3 thumbnails for this video, such as:

*

*https://i.ytimg.com/vi/video-id/1.jpg

*https://i.ytimg.com/vi/video-id/2.jpg

*https://i.ytimg.com/vi/video-id/3.jpg
By default, Youtube always choose 1.jpg as default thumbnail, but I want to set 2 or 3 as default. Researched many queries but seems not found.
In this link - https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/thumbnails/set -
 we can create Object thumbnail & set default thumbnail by URL
But in this link -
 https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/update#parameters - Youtube said that seems we can only update some parts via update command, certainly this guide does not list thumbnail as editable part.
Please help me this issue, I don't want to use method upload custom thumbnail, because we'll need to download thumbnail 2 or 3 to server then reupload.
Many thanks

What do you do when you can't get a Yeti? Scour the earth for a quality alternative. That's what led me to finding this great brand. I started asking around and found that many of my friends not only knew the Corkcicle brand, but owned a product and raved about it. "Love, love, love my Corkcicle." Not only that, but they talked about it so much their friends have asked about them too. A two-time brand winner of Oprah's favorite's is proof this is a hot quality gift item.
One thing I like about the Corkcicle tumbler is that the lid has a spill proof closure. Most other Yeti owners and I have all suffered from the inadvertent spill through the open hole on the Yeti lid, and despite requests for over a year, there's still no updated lid version with a closure.
2016 REVIEW UPDATE: Yeti has announced a spill proof lid will be coming in 2016. The Yeti lid has a snugger fit than Corkcicle; you can hold a full Yeti tumbler by the lid, but not the Corkcicle (no reason you'd want to, but I tried anyway). UPDATE DECEMBER 2016. Yeti did not release the lid.
Since Yeti only offers stainless steel, Corkcicle hands down has more color options, and cool variety of finishes. Like a car, the finish can be scratched, but as a marketer, I prefer color to stainless for branding.
2016 REVIEW UPDATE: Corkcicle, with it's triple wall insulation, is a worthy competitor in maintaining cold liquids. Both brands claim to keep drinks cold twice as long as plastic tumblers. In my unscientific testing, Corkcicle stayed cold longer!
The test: Ran the tap water a bit. Added 1 cup of tap water each to the Yeti 30 oz and the Corkcickle 24 oz. Added 1 cup of ice cubes to each. Put the lid on. Interior home temperature 75.
Yeti ice was melted 18 hours later.
Corkcickle was melted 22 hours later.
You could run this test and get different results. Both excel at keeping drinks cold.
I didn't run any tests to compare. Presumably, they'll both excel due to the insulation construction.
Yeti Rambler Tumbler comes in 20 oz and 30 oz sizes.
Corkcicle Tumbler comes in 16 oz and 24 oz sizes.
If you're a power drinker like me, get the bigger size of either brand. I started with the 30 oz Yeti. My hands are not that big, so when full, it was kind of heavy if holding onto for any length of time. I now use the 24 oz Corkcicle almost exclusively and it's plenty big enough for me.
Both manufacturers require authorized resellers to abide by strict pricing rules, including no advertising below Manufacter Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Corkcicle Waterman collection sells at a $3 premium. MSRP is for blank units without logo. Ask us about free logo imprinting, set up fees, and free shipping.
For stainless steel only, the options are basically the same. Using a laser, shades of grey to black can be achieved for a permanent etch.
For color tumblers, the color is removed with the laser to create a contrast between tumbler color and stainless below. Corkcicle also offers a 4 color logo option.
From the Corkcicle non-slip bottom to keep it from from sliding, to the choice of colors, there's a lot to like. For large orders, we can even custom manufacturer your own color. Are there other tumblers with spill proof lids and colors? Yes, and I've tried several of them. They didn't match up for a variety of reasons. I would not hesitate to buy Corkcicle's instead of Yeti for your custom logo tumblers.
I'm so happy I found this brand. We offer the entire line of products to our corporate clients as a great gift item. Click here for the entire Corksicle catalog. Click here for select Corkcicle items online for immediate purchase.
For our Texas customers that only buy Yeti tumblers, an alternative popular item is the Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge.
i would like to order some corkcicle tumblers in gray with my logo on it. what would be price shipped to san angelo tx for 30/ 50 tumblers?
What size tumbler? When do you need in hand? The 24 oz is $34.95 and includes standard shipping.
Click here to buy custom logo Corkcicle grey tumbler now. Please note, we have a 48 minimum order, and increments of 18.
I would be interested in knowing if you could fulfill an order of around 200 of the 24 ounce tumblers with a logo on them.
Yes, we can. Contact me for details and in-hand date requirements.

Jeff – this is great content, so I want to start with a big thank you for it. But, I am seriously wondering if we are giving up the art of headline writing when it's being reduced to "1 Way to Create Remarkable Headlines". Most of my favourite books have titles that mean something once you know the content: Bird By Bird (Anne Lamott), Infinite Jest (DFW), Daring Greatly (Brene Brown), The Art of Work. I ask this in an honest spirit of inquiry – which is in better service of the writing craft, turning it into a one sentence summary, or going for something deeper?
If you go for something deeper, you run the risk of someone ignoring it especially if it's on the web. We're trained to filter as many irrelevant headlines as possible when browsing the web, so having a deeper meaning headline, while awesome once they get the context, would probably not get the attention it deserves.

Nice one Jeff, I just tweaked all the headlines on the articles on my new site.
Been researching headlines and your article sounded really familiar, seems like you ripped it off from quicksprout.com (https://www.quicksprout.com/2014/07/03/the-formula-for-a-perfect-headline). Is integrity a key to building a good blog too? Apparently not.

I always ask myself how to get readers coming back to the blog post, or looking out for the next one when shaping a new title. Adjectives are a great, but I find too many writers are using the same words and formulas which are making them all blend together, especially in the blogging space.
I'm deeply interested in the shareability of modern headline tools with EMV ratings. The higher your score, the more your post will be shared – at least that's what everyone says.
Do you have any experience with them? I'm testing this theory right now on LinkedIn Pulse with my post 'Unusually Easy Steps To Superior Headlines' – it has a 133.33% EMV rating.
Thanks For such information. It will be of great help I found this through random search and I am glad that I found this informative blog. I usually write titles by doing research and by taking help from Experts of https://www.businesslabs.org/ They help me growing my business as well as improve, optimize my sales. Looking forward to reading more such tricks.
Thank you very much for writing such good tricks to write perfect headlines. You are rightly saying that how can one read a whole 1000 or 600 words if the initial 60 words can not impress him.

Spring is here in Minneapolis and many homeowners are contemplating replacing their old air conditioners instead of attempting to repair them. Mill City Heating & Cooling has found that the main items to consider when thinking about replacement are the age of the air conditioner and how often the air conditioner has been repaired in the past. The majority of an air conditioner's parts have been designed to last 10-15 years and are less energy efficient than newer models. Furthermore, most air conditioners that are over 10 years old have the old R-22 refrigerant that is being phased out by the EPA, making it costly to charge or refill once the refrigerant has leaked out. Additionally, just finding and repairing the leak itself adds to the expense of keeping old AC units.
About a week ago our office received a call regarding this matter from a property owner in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN 55406. The owner of the property informed us that the air conditioner in one of his rental units had been charged with R-22 refrigerant the previous year and that he paid $720 for the service call and charging. The tenant of the property had informed the owner that the air conditioner was not cooling as well as it was at the end of the summer. New renters were moving in May 1st and the property owner wanted to make sure the air conditioner was working properly and would last through the summer. Once we arrived at the location, we found the air conditioner completely empty of refrigerant, indicating one or more leaks in the system. The customer was given the options of repairing the unit or replacing it completely. We informed the customer that even if we find all the leaks and repair them, we couldn't guarantee that other parts of the air conditioner system would not fail during the summer due to the age of the unit. Our customer chose to replace the air conditioning system and is extremely satisfied with his decision.


Going the extra mile: Can long distance running lead to arthritis?
Long distance running is the road to good health and improved longevity. It has become extremely popular due to its ease and practicality, and virtually anyone can begin to run at a modest distance and pace and gradually improve his or her fitness at a comfortable and self-defining level.
This is the sixth in a series of sports medicine articles from the world-renowned Rothman Institute. Series Editors are Rothman doctors Richard H. Rothman MD, and John A. Anderson MD.
Long-distance running is the road to good health and improved longevity. It has become extremely popular due to its ease and practicality, and virtually anyone can begin to run at a modest distance and pace and gradually improve his or her fitness at a comfortable and self-defining level.
However, the number-one question that we receive as orthopaedic surgeons is: will the wear and tear of long distance running cause premature and disabling arthritis to the knees and hips and ultimately lead to surgery. The answer is no. Not only does long distance running not lead to wearing out of joints, it also promotes joint and general health and lessens the risk of arthritis. This is somewhat counter-intuitive, but due to the positive impact on weight control and limiting one's weight is a strong positive predictor of long-term joint health.
Running is the most universally accessible and practical form of exercise: shoes, a shirt, and shorts are all that is required and then you can exercise anywhere in the world. Running may be the best, safest and most cost effective approach to mood control, glycemic control, weight control, improving focus at work or school, and socializing away from work. While anyone can get arthritis—especially those with prior knee or hip injuries—some form of running can be safe for most people. The key to safe running is in managing impact, the sudden deceleration that occurs on foot strike. If we always land in the exact same position with a hard impact, the hammer will always fall on the same piece of cartilage, putting it at risk for damage. Each of us has a built-in impact measuring device—our ears. If each running step is loud, there's major impact; quiet running is relatively impact-free.
Impact can also be reduced by running on soft surfaces. If even more impact reduction is needed—for example if a person is a bit overweight or is recovering from an injury—running in the water can provide a useful starting point for a transition to running on land. By adjusting the depth of water in which the running takes place, the impact can be adjusted as needed. Running on an elliptical trainer is another way to avoid impact on joints if the athlete is not ready for running on the road or trail.
A final set of tips for running smart. Rotate different types of running shoes so that the impact is changed from day to day. Be sure to "trade out" worn shoes. Use yoga and core body strength exercises to maintain balance and coordination. Alternate running with exercises, such as rowing or cycling, that use the hip and knee joints through their entire range of motions so that all of the joint cartilage gets nourished. Cross training and diversity in exercise is a plus. Also, let pain and swelling be your guides. If you experience either, consult your physician.
As both runners and joint replacement surgeons, our opinion is that smart running does not cause arthritis. Smart running means easing into it, listening to your body and respecting pain if it occurs, varying the exercise program and minimizing impact. Running has the capacity to extend our lives and joy to every day. So get up and do it!
Richard H. Rothman, M.D., Ph.D. is the Founder of the world-renowned Rothman Institute, and has performed many thousands of hip and knee replacements. He has completed 20 marathons.
Laura Matsen Ko, M.D. is a Joint Replacement Fellow at the Rothman Institute. She has run 19 marathons, one Ultramarathon and two Ironmans.

Della M. Newman (nascida em 6 de junho de 1932) é uma mulher de negócios norte-americana que serviu como embaixadora dos Estados Unidos na Nova Zelândia e Samoa de 1989 a 1992.

Newman presidiu a campanha de George H. W. Bush no estado de Washington. Na época da sua nomeação, ela era proprietária de um imóvel e chefiava a Association of Washington Business, o principal grupo de lobby empresarial do estado. Apesar de nunca ter estado na Nova Zelândia, "Newman sentiu que foi convidada a preencher o cargo de embaixadora por causa do seu activismo partidário e por causa das semelhanças entre a Nova Zelândia e o Noroeste do Pacífico. 'A Nova Zelândia tem um clima semelhante, eles falam inglês e estão na costa do Pacífico', disse ela."

A nomeação de Newman foi uma das três suspensas porque "foram considerados não qualificados pela Academia Americana de Diplomacia". Citado foi o fato de que ela não foi apenas a Presidente Estadual da sua campanha, mas também que o seu marido foi um dos principais contribuintes.

To put this post in context, I was forwarded the link to this webcast from the recent TedMed Conference. I suggest watching this presentation by Dr. Ivan Oransky prior to reading the following blog.
I recently watched your TedMed presentation and I share your concerns about medical overtreatment of certain conditions and the importance of weighing risk and harm when considering medical interventions. I agree with your point that not all medical tests and interventions have clinical value. I also agree that all stakeholders should share the responsibility for appropriately applying medical technology based on evidence and outcomes. However, I disagree with some of your statements, and I feel compelled to correct what I believe is a misunderstanding on your part about the term "previvor," and the intent of the advocacy group FORCE in coining and using the term.
In my opinion, your assertion that advocacy groups use "previvor" to make more people feel they are at risk and raise more funds is incorrect. I founded FORCE in 1999, not to make money, but to ensure that people have access to credible information about hereditary cancer, that hereditary cancer research continues to provide better options, and that no one must face it alone. FORCE does not inflate people's risk. We refer people to genetics experts based on professional consensus guidelines published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
Further, previvor is a term developed for a group of people who carry a mutation that confers a high cancer risk in their lifetime. FORCE is a national non-profit organization with a mission to serve individuals and families with a BRCA gene mutation or hereditary cancer. We coined the term to refer to individuals who are genetically predisposed to cancer but have not been diagnosed. The term was a response to a plea by one of our members who lost her mother to cancer at a young age. Learning that she had inherited a BRCA1 mutation and potentially faced the same fate, she sacrificed her own breasts, ovaries, and fertility to reduce her very high risk. Yet she felt dismissed and marginalized by people who did not understand her situation. She articulated what many in our community felt: they needed and wanted a way to collectively organize, support each other, and advocate for resources to address their unmet needs.
My own breast cancer was diagnosed at age 33 and recurred the year following my initial treatment. I endured chemotherapy, radiation, and an increased likelihood of an early death from cancer. My son was only two years old at the time. I was forced to take a leave of absence from my work during treatment and went into medical debt to pay hospital and treatment costs. Had I known of my inherited predisposition at the time I would have taken steps to avoid cancer or detect it earlier. My experience is just one illustration of the financial, emotional, and physical costs of not knowing about a genetic predisposition to disease. These burdens impact entire families and can affect long-term quality of life. Many women pay with their lives.
Too many hereditary cancer families have watched their loved ones battle and too often lose their lives to the disease. They want to know what they can do to avoid the same fate for themselves and their own children. They face lifetime risks for cancer as high as 90%. Their risk-management options—preemptive surgery, risk-reducing medications, and heightened surveillance—are not without side effects or other risks. complex information about risk and risk-management and using it to make informed decisions. Although risk-management options are not ideal, most genetics professionals concur that hereditary cancer risk assessment and associated interventions have clinical utility. Research from peer-reviewed journals demonstrates that risk-management options can lower cancer-associated and overall mortality in the highest-risk cohort.
As an organization whose mission includes education, FORCE understands the challenges of presenting complex information in a balanced, understandable, compelling, and humane fashion. We take this responsibility seriously and we frequently consult with our expert advisory board for guidance. It is my opinion that your representation of previvors and our advocacy for the community was neither balanced nor accurate. Your baseball analogy illustrated your point about overtreatment of pre-conditions, but you neglected to mention inherited cancer risk, the situation for which the term was established. You cited "pre-acne" as an example of the absurdity of treating a precondition, even though the consequences of a diagnosis of acne and a diagnosis of cancer are not remotely the same. Women with BRCA mutations have elevated lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer that is many times higher than the general population. They are more likely to develop aggressive cancers and at a younger age when they are less likely to be screened. Thousands of women die from these cancers annually. Given these facts, the example of pre-acne is not a realistic comparison to inherited cancer risk and in my opinion insults a group of people with a very serious set of medical concerns.
Members of our community have an inherited mutation that leads to changes on a cellular level, which put them at very high risk for disease. Although our genetic differences may not be obvious on the surface they cause challenges that separate us from other people who do not possess these mutations. Ignorance and ridicule directed at people with medical challenges of any type are inappropriate.
I hope that you will provide a clarification of your statements about the meaning of the word previvor to include the fact that it was coined to describe and empower a specific group of people at very high risk for a deadly disease like cancer. Further, I encourage you to use your role as an experienced medical journalist and professor to delve more deeply into the difficult issues of people with BRCA mutations. In doing so you have the potential to make a positive impact on a lot of people.
I am not a baseball player, Mr. Oransky, but I do play tennis. In tennis when you do not swing at the ball, you lose the point. People with a BRCA or other inherited cancer-predisposing mutation face extraordinary risk for a disease that is too often fatal. Many of us have lost so much to cancer. Not swinging at a disease that has a high likelihood of coming our way is not a wise option.
Thanks as always for representing our community so passionately and eloquently!
Help me out: Looking for uses of the term "pre-[disease]" eg "pre-diabetes," "pre-hypertension," etc. I have a list, want more. Thanks!
I watched the presentation and also read your blog. I agree with you that he absolutely went to far when talking about the word "previvor". He has no idea what women and men go through when faced with hereditary cancer, what their families go through, and the worry it causes. Comparing acne to cancer is like comparing apples to oranges; it's just completely inaccurate. A person with acne does not have to go through chemo treatments, radiation, nausea, diarrhea, losing hair or losing their life. He was way out of line comparing acne to cancer.
I do agree that sometimes things are over treated, but not with hereditary cancer. Great blog!
Sue please never stop fighting for us! I love you!
I just listened to the webcast. Wow love, love, love your response. I also want to send you a big warm heartfelt hug for all that you do. because you have empowered so many women and families with knowledge and truth. My family is now walking around in the dark and knowledge and truth are powerful in making informed decision. GOD bless you.
I would like to clarify that although I do disagree with your use of the word previvor in your talk, my personal objection to the content of your talk has more to do with 1) your tone which struck me as dismissing and making light of people facing inherited risk of cancer 2) the generalization about over-treating pre-conditions which omits factual information about some serious conditions for which interventions could be life-saving 3) what in my opinion seems to be an implication that our organization uses the word irresponsibly to raise money and make more people think they are at risk who may not be and 4) what in my opinion seems to be an implication that our organization contributes to the overmedicalization of preconditions. However, if I'm understanding your latest blog correctly, it appears that your objection is to the definition of the term itself, not to the work of our organization, why we coined it, or the community it identifies. Unfortunately that didn't come across so well in your presentation so I appreciate your clarification.
To your point about updating the definition of the term: at the time that we coined it, we did so to address and respond to a specific need expressed by members of our community. We are open to and might consider serious and thoughtful suggestions for reframing of the term that would still define and empower the community for whom it was coined. Having said that, outside of your talk, I have not personally seen the term misapplied in a way that inappropriately inflates people's concerns about diseases that they may or may not ever contract. Perhaps you could send us some examples of where the term itself has been misused and caused harm and we can determine if there would be benefit to tightening the definition so that it will not be misapplied.
A link to my thoughts on this topic.
Now that Dr. Oranksy has made a public reply I hope we will hear more from you on this topic. Many thanks for your continued good work.
Thank you, Sue, for your well-articulated points and your compassion.
Thank you for your levelheaded response to Oransky's ill-conceived and—frankly—inflammatory talk.
Sue, wonderful response and thank you for all your do for the BRCA community. We are blessed to have you as our leader!
Dear Friends, here is a link to a letter signed by members of FORCE's Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and staff in reply to Dr. Oransky's presentation.
Note that two additional signatures were added since sending this to Dr. Oransky.
Excellent response to a medical "professional" who is clueless!!!
Sue, thank you for your response to this doctor's remarks. You've inspired me to write my own response (blog style) to Dr. Oransky: http://janethewriterwrites.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-three-names.html.
Sue, this is a beautiful response that captures the expereinces of previvors in such and honest manner. As a researcher in this field, I have seen first had the benefits of women being aware of thier risks. Thank you for all that you and FORCE do to improve the lives of women everywhere!
Thank you for being the face and heart of this organization. Your patience and forbearance in trying to rebut this unwarranted attack bespeak a level of class that Dr. Orlansky would do well to emulate. Unfortunately, he seems to choose defensiveness rather than candor.
I am a 4 time survivor…2x breast, 2x ovarian, with the first diagnosis at age 24. I carry the BRAC1 gene. I have 2 daughters, ages 22 and 27. They both carry the gene. After a year and a half of seeing genetic counselors, many doctors, much debate, discussion and lots of prayer they both made their own decisions. 2 and a half weeks ago they both had mastectomies and the beginning of reconstruction at Stanford on the same day, with the same teams of doctors. They are recovering beautifully and with plenty of pride!
To Dr. Olansky…I only have to say SHAME ON YOU!! I find your thoughts arrogant, glib and uninformed. I wonder if you would have the courage to sit down with my two BRAVE and COURAGEOUS PREVIVOR daughters face to face and share your thoughts with them? I think not! My girls spent many years witnessing the difficulties of facing cancer…they decided to take the power OVER cancer! They took their chances of developing breast ca down from 87% to 1%…they will address the issue of their 60% chance of ovarian ca in the near future. For your sake, I only hope you never have to face this issue in your family…your thoughts on this matter will be a very bitter pill to swallow.
Dr. Oransky,in his video mocked and humiliated all previvors throughout the World who have been helped, educated and inspired by FORCE.
In his video he laughed not only at the word previvor but also insulted FORCE who he says raise money from previvors.
Whilst I have no respect for anyone speaking about things they DO NOT understand I would like to point out that FORCE has only ever sponsored the International previvor community and never had any aim of "making money".
Since the Previvor community has pointed out Dr Oransky's mockery of both previvors and of FORCE he has come up with a new idea that he has a "problem with the deffinition" of the word previvor. If that was the truth then we would have heard it in his video. Did we? NO!
Instead, we heard in his tone and in his words complete abuse and mockery of previvors and of FORCE.
He is trying to get out of what he said by changing the issue. Typical journalistic tactics, that can not be respected by intelligent and educated people.
Dr Oransky – YOU made a HUGE mistake out of ignorance.
YOU owe the Global Previvor Community an apology.
YOU owe Dr Friedman an apology.
YOU owe FORCE an apology.
After all three apologies then maybe you will be able to regain a small amount of self respect.
I have one word for your responses-brilliant! Thank you for all you do.

The city of Cleveland Heights was created in 1901 and became my home a little over two years ago. When I heard NEO Food Tours was going to tour the Cedar-Lee District I bought one of the first tickets. I looked forward to possibly trying some new restaurants and getting to know my 'hood a little better. Unfortunately they had to cancel the tour last year, so I was out of luck. I was happy to see they were going to offer the tour again on August 28th. This year's tour didn't really feature any restaurants that I haven't been to yet, but then again I have lived in the Heights for a while now. It was nice to enjoy some favorites I hadn't been to in a while and visit a couple places I wasn't quite as familiar with. So after enjoying a nice day off I made my way to Cedar and Lee on Tuesday night, parking for free on Meadowbrook.
The tour started at Lopez on Lee. We checked in at the bar and were greeted by Todd Gauman, head of NEO Food Tours, and Cleveland Heights mayor Ed Kelley. My car had been broken into the week before (I leave it unlocked to avoid replacing a window and leave absolutely nothing of value in it), and we talked about that and other topics for a bit. I enjoyed chatting with him and was thrilled when he chose to sit next to me. He is a really nice guy. He told us about some of the upcoming plans for the Cedar-Lee district, including a multi-million dollar housing and retail project at the corner of Meadowbrook and Lee Roads.
Lopez is known for its Mexican cuisine, and we were all served margaritas and bags of chips and homemade salsa as we sat. The executive chef, Michael J. Herschman, greeted us and told us a little bit about Lopez. Turns out Rick Bayless was the first chef at Lopez. Rick hosts a series on PBS and is a regular on the Food Network, so that was a very cool piece of trivia. As we listened to the history of Lopez and their dedication to using local produce, we noshed on their shrimp and grits featuring corn and chile grits with smoked cheese, roasted peppers and scallion. It had a nice heat to it thanks the jalapenos and chiles in the grits and sauce.
We then walked down to Abrash Gallery that featured a pop-up by Rockefeller's Restaurant and Lounge chef Jill Vedaa. Chef Vedaa and the owner of Abrash Gallery briefly talked about their respective establishments. Abrash Gallery features handmade rugs and other fair trade goods for sale. Rockefeller's is located on the second floor of the Heights Rockefeller Building at the corner of Lee and Mayfield, which was built by John D. Rockefeller Junior in 1930. I've always loved the building and secretly hoped to live near the building and Fairmount, which I now do. Rockefeller's is located in the former site of a bank. Chef Vedaa prepared short ribs over a bed of shredded carrots (sorry but I don't remember how the carrots were prepared, but they were good!). Since we were in a gallery that didn't offer the ability to sit or use a knife , the short ribs were a good choice. They just fell apart with the touch of the fork. She served a pinot noir to accompany the short ribs. It was a very successful pairing. I was happy to find a seat in front of a fan, because it was quite warm in the gallery.
We then crossed the street and headed on down to The Wine Spot, where we were greeted by owners and a representative from FarmShare Ohio. The long table covered in plates featuring local cheeses and wine glasses was quite pleasing to the eye. The cheese plate was accompanied by a handy guide. The 12 o'clock position featured fresh chèvre (goat's milk) from Lake Erie Creamery, 3 o'clock was a basket cheese (a Guernsey cow milk cheese) with heirloom cherry tomatoes from Lake Erie Creamers, 6 o'clock was a summer blomma with blueberry aigre-doux (my favorite cheese because I'm a huge fan of camembert and brie), and 9 o'clock featured a Own Creek Tomme (a sheep's milk cheese) from Kokoborrego Cheese Company drizzled with raw honey from Auburn Apiary. We were served 3 different wines from Ohio. I enjoyed the first two (white wines), but not the third (a pinot). I would have loved the third with a meal, but it didn't quite pair well with the cheeses, especially following two white wines.
After The Wine Spot we headed to Phoenix Coffee to sober up with a coffee tasting. The wired-up coffee expert was extremely entertaining and shared two different coffees with us prepared two different ways – in a French press and cold-brewed. The coffee was accompanied by a bran muffin that tasted to me like a good carrot cake. Yum! He also told us about the coffees he was serving, but I'll be darned if I can remember them. I think the first one was a direct trade coffee from Mexico and the second one was an Ethiopian coffee, but don't quote me on that. They try to buy their coffee directly from the growers and cut out the "coyote' middlemen who underpay the farmers for their harvest. He talked about the different locations and the roastery in the heart of downtown Cleveland. He is particularly excited about an upcoming shipment of coffee in mid-September that sounded interesting (although again I can't remember the details – just that it sounded great), so I definitely plan to stop by for a cup at my local Phoenix Coffee on Coventry.
Our final stop of the night was at Taste. We walked through the dining room, past the open kitchen where we said hi to the chefs and into the private room in the back. The first thing we noticed was the gorgeous chandelier. We were told later that it was made from wine bottles and glassware from Spy Bar in the Warehouse District. And the sconces on the side walls were made from white bottles. The servers came around offering us our choice of red or white wine. I went with the pinot noir, which was delicious. Todd got a little choked up as he explained he was dedicating the tour that night to Sergio Abramof, the owner of Sergio's and Sarava who passed away unexpectedly earlier that week, and we raised our glasses in his honor. Sergio was a force behind the independent restaurant movement here in Cleveland and a true mentor to many. He will be missed.
We were served a crab cake served over a bed of fresh salsa and drizzled with basil oil. The crab cake was moist and not too "fishy." The salsa was fresh and bright, and I loved the fact that it had lots of cilantro in it. If I had known we were being served a crab cake I would have probably opted for the white wine, but my pinot did not conflict too terribly with the crab cake.
We were given take-away bags with some fliers, coupons and bite-sized pastries from Coquette Patisserie. The Queen of Sheba (left) is an almond paste chocolate cake with a layer of spicy Mexican chocolate ganache (spicy chocolate? yes please…). The center pastry is a Pixie Bar, which is a pistachio florentina atop almond paste cake, a layer of lingonberry compote, and a pâte sucrée crust (my clear favorite – almond, lingonberry and pistachio – what's not to love?). The Blueberry Macaron (right) is an almond flour meringue shell filled with blueberry buttercream and was gluten-free. The meringue shattered to reveal the buttercream, and it was very flavorful.
It was with a heavy heart and stomach that we headed home at close to ten o'clock. I'm proud to report that I went right to sleep shortly after getting home from the tour and the coffee did not keep me up as I had feared it would.

UEF-Charity Foundation begins Ukraine production of specialised horse feed
Letychiv, Ukraine, June 20, 2022.
Surrounded by the noise of the feed production factory, Taisia Stadnichenko, head of Ukrainian Operations for the Ukrainian Equestrian Federation Charity Foundation, proudly stands at the end of the production line to witness the first 90 tonnes of UEF-CF humanitarian feed for horses coming off the production line, wrapped in its distinctive blue and yellow humanitarian aid packaging.
This has been the result of a long labour of love by the Ukrainian Equestrian Federation Charity Foundation. Their goal is to produce humanitarian horse feed in Ukraine to cut the costs on logistics from abroad, use local raw materials to help the farmers and give work to the Ukrainian feed production enterprise to help the local economy.
About 100,000 Ukrainian horses are currently in difficulties. In the first months of the war, the UEF-CF received kind humanitarian aid donations from abroad which partially solved the problem. However, it also created some new ones as the donated food came from a wide variety of brands, producers and countries. The timing and quantities of in-kind donations were unpredictable. The frequent changes of food made the rehabilitation process of weak and starving horses difficult and under certain conditions even dangerous for horses' health.
When the amount of humanitarian aid began to decrease and the cost of logistics increased, a decision was made to use donor funds more efficiently and produce feed in Ukraine at one of the most technologically advanced feed processing factories – Letychiv feed mill, which is a part of Edinstvo Holding.
The project was made possible thanks to cooperation with the Dutch premium horse feed manufacturer Horsefood (https://www.horsefoodthebest.nl/), which developed a special recipe of the core essential nutrients, vitamins and supplements needed for horses after starvation or a period of restriction of the diet, with reduced immunity. Horsefood's formula provides 25% of the composition. The other 75% of the feed consists of the Ukrainian sourced raw materials – barley, wheat, bran, corn and molasses. The essence of the product is that it meets the current needs of horses in Ukraine, which do not need high-energy fast release food, at the same time, most of them suffer from malnutrition, stress, frequent transportation and unusual lifestyle.
"Using a feed factory inside Ukraine solves several problems at once," said Mykhaylo Parkhomchuk, founder of the Ukrainian Equestrian Federation Charity Foundation and the Secretary General of the Ukrainian Equestrian Federation. "Local production reduces the variety and constant change of feed, which exacerbates the risk of horse health problems. Secondly, the use of local raw materials and production enables the UEF-CF to use the financial donations we receive from around the world and use them in Ukraine to directly help not only the equestrian community but also to help the farmers and local companies in Ukraine, whilst maintaining jobs."
Feed is packed in specially printed bags, which state: "humanitarian aid, not for sale." According to the team of the UEF-CF, this will help to avoid abuse and possible resale.
This feed, as well as other humanitarian aid from the Foundation, can be received by any stable or equestrian club in Ukraine, from a home with just one horse or pony to a large stable or racetrack.
"For us, the value or pedigree of a horse does not matter. We assume that each horse is the most favorite for its owner. – states Taisiya Stadnichenko. – Most owners suffer from a lack of funds to keep their horses. Our goal is to help them feed the horses during the most difficult time of adaptation to the new reality, so that they do not make rash decisions about their animals."
The UEF-CF system that collects requests for humanitarian aid for horses has been working since the beginning of the war, it is open, transparent and accessible to all. Currently, about 300 stables and clubs need assistance, of which about 170 stables with a total population of more than 3,500 horses have received aid from the UEF-CF. As the need for humanitarian aid is projected to increase, it is hoped that the localization of feed production will help to feed horses in Ukraine.
About the Ukrainian Equestrian Federation Charity Foundation
The mission of the foundation, founded on the 4th day of the war, is to help Ukrainian horses and horsemen to survive the terrible times and, in the future, to help restore the equestrian sports industry of Ukraine. The main three areas of the Fund's work are: evacuation of horses from dangerous areas, assistance with fodder and bedding, keeping horses in free shelters in Lviv and Rivne regions.
At present, about 500 horses have been evacuated in Ukraine and abroad, and about 1,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid for 3,500 horses have been delivered to more than 170 stables in Ukraine. A transparent system of requests for humanitarian aid has been created through a chatbot and an application on the website, along with an electronic queue for evacuation, and a map of shelters. At the same time, there is a logistics system for transporting feed to the stables and evacuation, and free shelters are provided. The work of the Foundation is provided by about 30 volunteers in Ukraine and about 40 volunteers abroad.

Top 3 Takeaways from the Employer Ambassador Awards
On April 4, 2019, goDCgo held the 3rd annual Employer Ambassador Awards ceremony to recognize DC employers who demonstrated an exceptional commitment to sustainable transportation. This year's winners had robust commuter benefit programs, reduced the stress of commuting for their employees, and showed impressive results supported by data. Here are the top 3 takeaways revealed during this year's ceremony: Someone is 6x more likely to bike with peer and bike infrastructure support. Keynote speaker, Shengyin Xu from the World Resources Institute (WRI), shared that her company deploys an employee travel survey every year to calculate their individual carbon footprint related to commuting. By learning from that data and using the information to bolster on-site amenities and perks, WRI learned that having on-site bicycle racks and peers who regularly commute by bike were the most influential supports for getting an employee to bike. Employees can get an average 2 additional weeks per year in time back by participating in telework. Winner of goDCgo's Telework Award, Washington Gas, found that employees who participated in their telework program saved over 160 hours by working from home instead of spending time in traffic – that's the equivalent of two weeks' worth of vacation time. True champions create teams. Workplace and institutional change are heavy-lifts; both the U.S. Government Accountability Office (Bike-Friendly Workplace Award Winner) and the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters (Rideshare Award Winner) advocate for commuter support by cultivating social networks within their organizations. At the U.S. GAO, an employee bike taskforce volunteers to support new bike riders and works with administrative staff to expand bike parking in needed areas. At the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, small teams of over 1,000 carpoolers and 375 vanpool groups collectively advocate up the chain leading to premium parking for rideshares and agency support. With over 800 companies offering pre-tax commuter benefits and over 200 enrolled as Capital Bikeshare Corporate Members, supporting sustainable transportation options is becoming the norm among DC employers. To learn how you can start or enhance your transportation benefits to attract and retain top talent, contact goDCgo today!...

Once upon a time...extinct Siwalik elephants, African lions roamed Bengal
Once upon a time…extinct Siwalik elephants, African lions roamed Bengal
ZSI to carry out zoo-archaeological expeditions in order to find out more details of extinct species.
By: Press Trust of India
Kolkata | July 23, 2014 10:49 IST
African lion, giraffe, spotted hyenas are now only found in Africa. (Source" Reuters)
Several animal species, which are either extinct or seen only in Africa, thrived 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in the wilds of Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapore districts, according to senior scientists of the Zoological Survey of India.
The species include a Siwalik antelope, Siwalik nilgai, Siwalik cattle, porcupine (Hystrix Crassidens), Siwalik equid, African lion (Panthera Cf Leo), Siwalik elephant, giraffe, spotted hyenas, a recent report published by the Zoological Survey of India said.
Siwalik antelope, Siwalik nilgai, Siwalik cattle, porcupine (Hystrix Crassidens), Siwalik equid and Siwalik elephant disappeared from the face of earth several thousand years ago.
However, African lion, giraffe, spotted hyenas are now only found in Africa.
A senior palaeontologist of the ZSI, T K Pal, along with his team had several years back stumbled upon the remains of these animals preserved in two caves located in the Susunia Hills of Bankura.
"In 1980-81, we had recovered remains of the animals from the caves of Susunia and other surrounding areas of Jangalmahal. The lab tests revealed that the animal remains were 50,000 years old," Pal said.
According to ZSI, this constitutes the first such kind of discovery in West Bengal and eastern India. Pal said, "Several experiments have shown that in the area, now spanning the three districts, the land mass, geology and climate were not the same as now. The sea level, including that of the Red sea, was then much lower and there existed an African route stretching from today's Himalayan region to Africa through Afghanistan and Pakistan."
The emeritus scientist explained that Gondwana land mass — the super continent that comprised most of the landmasses of today's southern hemisphere, including Australia, Madagascar, Antarctica, South America, Arabian Peninsula and Indian Sub-continent, bumped into the Eurasian landmass creating the African route for the animals to migrate and roam into these areas in search of food and water.
"The roaming area of the animals was much larger then and the animal corridors stretched from one part of the globe to another. From parts of Africa to today's Himalayas, which was then known as Siwalik hills, the youngest east-west mountain chain of the Himalayas, these animals migrated between 25 to 26 million years ago," Pal explained.
These animals inhabited Siwalik region, but pleistocene glaciations found around one to 1.5 lakh years ago, which covered the entire area from Siberia to the northern part of Kashmir under ice sheet, forced these animals to migrate downwards towards the eastern part of today's India due to cold wave coming from the north.
The eastern region, known commonly as the Rarh region of Bengal, was covered in dense forest and had a very suitable climatic and ecological condition for the in habitation of these animals, Pal said.
The findings formed the subject matter of a book "Animal Remains from South Western part of West Bengal and their relevance to the Ancient Civilization of the Area" published by the ZSI in January this year. The book has been jointly written by Pal and another paleontologist Supriya Nandy.

God Can't Save This Queen. Theater Review.
"God Save Queen Pam" at The Players Theater is in the same genre as the movie "Ralph", where a nobody schlub is exulted to the Hierarchy. Actress/ Writer Erin Murray Quinlan is a happy go lucky bartender in Seacaucus, N.J., when Col. Eleanor Ainsley and Major Johnathan Digby show up at The Tiki Bar in the Meadowlands just outside New York City to inform her that she is to be the new Queen of England. She is next in line to the Throne as England just lost their King, who suffered a heart attack at the alter. The would be Queen, Lady Fenella de Dieul (Marie Minette Linder), is none to happy about losing her crown due to the King's untimely death and will do anything to get it back. Her goof ball son Augustus de Dieul is forced to go along with his moms scheme to get her too The Throne. Pam (Erin Murray Quinlan), has to learn in short order the rules and protocols of being Queen. She is overwhelmed by the massive meetings and structure that it takes to be the Queen. She clearly hates the job and all the structure and stiffness that goes with the job. She is not allowed to date the handsome Major Jaimie Toben (David Ventura), who has deep feelings for her right off the bat. Pam is a cross between Melissa Mc Carthy and Roseann Barr, she is quite comedic and the first fifty minutes gets on nicely.
Quinlan , who wrote the play, also composed the Music and the Lyrics as well. There are many good songs in this show, songs like "Living the Dream", "Think of England", "Hot Goss" and "Keep Calm and Carry On" were all catchy, very good songs. Quinlan also had some very funny moments in the musical, however, the play starts to lose steam in the last twenty minutes of the first act and is completely lost in most of, if not all of, the second act. The jokes try too hard to be funny, the dance numbers become to paradoxical and the story unravels. Farce became to farcical and stupid, leaving both the audience bored and uninterested.
The direction in"Queen Pam" was a lot of the problem here. Director Brian Tuttle was indecisive as to where he wanted this play to go. Tuttle was unable to bring the actors into the realm of where they needed too be. The tentative banter between actors falls solely on his direction. Lines that should have hit hard were limp and not resonant. Tuttle prior to this show oversaw the production of over 40 new works in Boston,M.A.. It would seem clear that he should know how to put on a performance like this one, as "God Save Queen Pam" is a new work and has a lot of potential.
Bryce Cutler's Set is very sufficient in this show. With a very small stage, Cutler is able keep an upbeat tempo and at the same time challenges the audience to imagine what cannot be put forth on the stage. Cutler did an admirable job staging this production as did Mary Ellen Stebbins with the lighting. Both kept the mood lite and upbeat even this show could not follow through.
In what was a very lack luster show, there was one actor who stood out. Evan Quinlan (Maj. Digby), was very comedic as well as a great singer. His "Keep Calm and Carry On" was met with the highest applause. His stage presence stood out compared to all the other actors. His grace and poise was obvious to even a first time Theater goer that Quinlan was head and shoulders above all the other actors in this performance.
"God Save Queen Pam" can become a very decent show if some of the writing is reworked. The basic concept is a good one and could be well received by the audiences, hence; "Ralph". The show needs to be stepped up in the second act and the last twenty minutes of the first act needs to be cut down and reworked. The way to success for this show would have been more stage readings and maybe a Showcase to have worked out the bugs.
