Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar announced Monday that it will merge its two-year pre-medical program and its four-year medical program into one cohesive six-year medical program.
Previously, students looking to transition from the two-year to the four-year program would go through a separate admissions process, according to the college. With the new restructuring, however, students will only have to apply once to be admitted to the six-year medical education program.
"This important innovation preserves the content, academic rigor and quality of our highly regarded premedical and medical programs while providing additional flexibility to our students and at the same time advancing their preparedness for the medical profession," said Javaid Sheikh, dean of the medical college in Qatar, in a press release.
Students currently applying to the premedical program at WCMC in Qatar will undergo the admissions process for the new six-year program by default, according to the college.
Initial discussions of the integration began a few years ago as a result of recommendations from the Joint Advisory Board — which provides advice and assistance to the dean of WCMC in Qatar — with the idea arising "quite naturally in the mind of all stakeholders," according to Marco Ameduri M.S. '96 Ph.D. '00, associate dean for pre-medical education at WCMC in Qatar.
The new integrated program aims to build upon this already-established reputation by continuing to place postgraduates in residency programs at elite hospitals across the world, according to the release.
"There is broad enthusiasm among the faculty and the current students, as we all prepare to welcome the entering students in the fall semester of 2015," he said.
Anyone who reads the Sun's online edition regularly should be familiar with the multitude of ultra-conservative and often vitriolic comments that typically accompany the paper's more controversial articles. But those readers who limit themselves to reading the newspaper's print version were treated to a sample of these comments on Monday, when the Sun's "Web Comment of the Day" featured one of the tamer comments from this category, in response to Throwdown Thursday: Fear, Hope and Change.
The University announced the formation of two search committees Thursday morning to replace two of its departing administrators, the latest in the changing landscape of Cornell's senior leadership. The groups will seek to find replacements for former Provost Kent Fuchs and Susan Murphy '73 Ph.D. '94, vice president for student and academic services.

The Great Defamation Debate: Hockey v Fairfax Media
By isawisniewska September 8, 2015 November 21, 2017
Leave a Comment on The Great Defamation Debate: Hockey v Fairfax Media
Defamation like any other law requires a balance of rights, being the public right to freedom of speech and the private right to protect one's reputation. Judgements such as Hockey v Fairfax Media have highlighted the contentious legal principle and reignited debates as to whether said laws are a tool of oppression or a private protection. In response, undeniably defamation laws in their current state fall short. Irrespective, it is within the best interest of the public to refrain from repealing defamation legislation and alternatively reviewing and engaging in law reform. Any society that values justice needs to allow protection for individuals and business from malicious intent causing severe damage. Balancing of rights is achievable through defamation reform.
The democratic ideal of The Rule of Law dictates that citizens are to have equal accessibility to the law. However, defamation has proven a law for the elite, utilised by corporations and the affluent to pacify the individual and/or the media from publically scrutinising or condemning. Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey's awarding against Fairfax Media exemplifies this notion of elitism. Newspaper headlines titled 'Treasurer For Sale' and two tweets were determined "malicious" and demeaning of Hockey's reputation to the "ordinary, reasonable reader". Considering the nature of Public Office, the enactment of the "public figure" defence is appropriate. The proposed defence would work harmoniously with the current defences of justification, privilege and fair comment. This would ensure accountability for those in prominent positions through higher thresholds of proof, de-incentivising politically motivated trials.
Costliness, intimidation and extensive time delays have cause the layperson to fear accusations of defamation. This culture of fear has allowed corporations to threaten individuals into refraining from discussion. Introducing a preliminary avenue before admission to the court such as Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms minimises current reservations. Alternative resolution is more effective at balancing the interests of both parties, whilst removing the intimidation of presenting arguments before a court and in opposition to learned legal professionals. This would ensure cost effectiveness, minimise time constraints given resolution occurs within the preliminary stages and facilitates a law a layperson feels more inclined to engage with.
Public trust in the judiciary is vital in ensuring a functional Separation of Powers and good governance. The function of the court is to hear evidence and weigh the individual's rights, societal values and policies. The court considers, penalises or dismisses on a cases by case basis. Considering this, the fear that the court will order a large compensation payout is unfounded. Judges are trained to use discretion with subjective facts, such as the motivations of parties, power imbalances, determining malicious intent and subsequently make proportional judgements. Eliminating or minimising monetary payouts as the main source of compensation with a replacement order of apology, would de-incentivise the affluent oppressing the layperson. Apologies could occur in the same fashion as original defamatory comments, upon the same medium, to the same audience or to an equal or greater extent of prominence. This reform has the potential to remove negative public perceptions and fears.
Freedom of Speech is an inextricable value of a functional democracy, as is granting rights and protections. Defamation safeguards individuals and businesses that suffer great loss at no fault of their own. Reflection and reform can ensure a balance of the freedom of expression Australian's hold dear, without severely demeaning the reputation of others.

'City Hall' Film Review: Frederick Wiseman Celebrates the Power of Civic Engagement
Boston mayor Marty Walsh becomes a constant figure in this examination of the good that government can potentially do with community involvement
Alonso Duralde | October 28, 2020 @ 12:00 PM
Zipporah Films Inc.
Nobody makes documentaries quite like Frederick Wiseman. He doesn't interview his subjects; he doesn't provide on-screen identification for who's talking; he doesn't use any non-diegetic music. What he does do is plant the viewer firmly inside what "Hamilton" calls "the room where it happens," taking us deep inside the heart of the hospitals, the department stores, the city governments, the public libraries, the boxing gyms, the art museums, the burlesque houses, the hospice facilities, and all the other institutions he has examined over the course of a storied career.
His 45th feature film "City Hall" — premiering at the Venice, Toronto and New York film festivals prior to a release later this year — goes deep into the workings of the city of Boston, a much larger and more populated location than the subjects of earlier Wiseman works like "Belfast, Maine" or "Monrovia, Indiana." It's clear that even this new film's four-and-a-half running time can only scratch the surface of such a multi-faceted subject, but Wiseman's camera takes in as much of the title entity as possible, in terms of both the literal building and its figurative outreach.
The unifying force of the movie, besides geography, is mayor Marty Walsh, whom we encounter in various internal meetings (with police higher-ups, with Latinx city employees) and out and about, whether it's at a Veteran's Day event, a Chinese New Year parade, a senior citizens' luncheon, a rally supporting nurses, or Thanksgiving events promoting food banks and Goodwill. (At a dinner for clients and volunteers of the latter, he makes a speech and then circulates the room pouring gravy for diners.)

While there's always a sense that Walsh is enough of an innate politician to always be aware of Wiseman's camera without ever acknowledging it — even in more intimate settings, he always talks like someone making sure he can't be misquoted — he brings a real personal touch to the job, whether he's relating to those veterans and their need for counseling and outreach by sharing stories of his own recovery from alcoholism or saluting those nurses by remembering how much he and his family relied on the kindness of the profession when he battled cancer as a child.
There's plenty going on without Walsh, though; the film begins and ends with more direct liaisons between city government and its constituency — the 311 non-emergency operators. Within the walls of city hall, we get to sit in on planning meetings, see couples get married, observe traffic management via close-circuit cameras, and watch people talk their way out of parking tickets. We also get images that reflect the city's rich diversity, from skyscrapers to the legendary harbor, from historic houses and buildings (some restored, some not) to sun-beaten nail salons.

And while one of the throughlines of Wiseman's career has been a fascination with process, he's less interested in culminations; there are plenty of conclaves here with hard-working city employees seeking to find solutions for Boston's homeless population, for instance, but "City Hall" never circles back to tell us how successful those solutions were, or even whether they were ever implemented.
That's not the story that Wiseman wants to tell. He's more interested in exploring the mechanics of institutions we know well, even ones that will directly impact our day-to-day lives, but he would rather viewers pick up the baton and get involved themselves rather than to sit back and judge or even summarize.
Wiseman's movies demand that we make our own conclusions, and they also demand that we adjust ourselves to his method of non-fiction storytelling. His rigorous use of stationary camera and long takes (he edits as well as directs) require a different but no less intense level of engagement as a more personal or more pop style of documentary filmmaking. What Wiseman does is different than most contemporary docs, but he does it so well that his films are consistently engrossing and informative. For a time capsule of what people did at their jobs, and what their surroundings looked like while they were doing it, Wiseman's filmography is one for the ages.
Watch Video: 'Enemies of the State' Director Had Actors 'Lip Syncing' to Audio of Hacker Asylum Seeker
Granted, the most fascinating moment in "City Hall" is also the most confrontational one, as residents of the working-class Dorchester neighborhood attend a town-hall meeting with entrepreneurs who want to open a cannabis dispensary there. Bringing up issues about everything from parking and sidewalks to providing opportunities to minorities in the neighborhood who have served prison time for selling the very same drugs, the residents are informed and impassioned, refusing to accept the slickly-packaged promises and happy-talk from the retailers without some verbal pushback.
And that direct engagement is the point. Just because Wiseman isn't narrating or making direct statements, it doesn't mean there's not a point of view at play here; it's apparent that the director champions governmental institutions and community involvement in an age where reactionaries are still trying to make government small enough to drown in a bathtub and to make individual citizens feel hopeless and cynical about their elected officials. Much like "Monrovia, Indiana" and "In Jackson Heights," this is a story of America in the age of Trump; Walsh mentions the president in passing, as the functional opposite of the ways that the mayor and other city employees are trying to be welcoming and inclusive to immigrants, ethnic minorities, women, the poor, the LGBTQ+ community, and other populations at risk of losing advances made over the last 60 years.
One may or may not be able to fight city hall, but "City Hall" argues that it's incumbent upon all of us to be involved with local politics, which can directly and indirectly shape what's happening at the state and national level as well. It's a civics lesson that's subtly delivered within some thoroughly exciting documentary filmmaking.
10 Best Documentaries of the 2010s, From 'OJ: Made in America' to 'The Invisible War' (Photos)
Facts are so often stranger than fiction: The truth can be so terrible that we struggle to believe it, or so joyous and full of life that we're inspired or moved. The past decade has seen a boom in the documentary space as streaming platforms have invested in their production and proliferated their distribution opportunities. So many docs that could have made this list, from those that have inspired public policy changes to others that captured gorgeous slices of life often overlooked, and even a few that pushed the visual boundaries of what's possible in non-fiction storytelling. Here are a handful of the best documentaries from the previous decade:
10. "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry" Alison Klayman's documentary may have been many Americans' introduction to Ai Weiwei, the outspoken artist (whose work has found a devoted following on social media) and whose voice that the Chinese government has threatened to silence more than once. Not only does Klayman's extensive film retrace many of the highlights in the artist's career; she also uses his story as a case study of the pressures artists in China face when standing up to the country's authoritarian government.
9. "The Invisible War" Years ahead of the #MeToo movement, director Kirby Dick and co-writer Amy Ziering burst open the topic of sexual assault in the military with their painfully honest and eye-opening documentary. In "The Invisible War," multiple members of the armed forces detail how they were assaulted or raped by fellow soldiers or commanders and how they felt victimized a second time by the army's failure to take action. In addition to picking up an Oscar nomination, the documentary was so effective in its mission to raise awareness of the issue that the Pentagon responded by overhauling how it investigates and oversees cases of sexual assault.
8. "O.J.: Made in America" You can argue over whether Ezra Edelman's multi-part episodic documentary qualifies as television show or a film (the Academy gave it a Best Documentary Oscar before creating new rules that would make it ineligible), but Ezra Edelman's comprehensive look at the rise and astronomical fall of one of pop culture's most celebrated athletes was a riveting event for many viewers. In addition to rare archival footage and numerous interviews, Edelman's film also put O.J. Simpson's life into historical context, connecting the dots as to why the sports star would often play down his blackness to appeal to white audiences in the 1970s and examining the various responses to the "trial of the century" in the 1990s.
7. "Hale County This Morning, This Evening" Skipping conventional storytelling approaches like using a narrator or including a series of talking-heads interviews, RaMell Ross chose a nonlinear route for his feature debut. Through evocative footage and observational shots, Ross creates a portrait of the black community of Hale County, Alabama, that's like few other documentaries. His camera is more of a free-floating spirit through the area, quietly observing the nuances between different groups and individuals at the intersection of race and class. Even with its experimental nature, "Hale County This Morning, This Evening" earned an Oscar nomination.
6. "This is Not a Film" Forbidden by the Iranian government from making a movie, directors Jafar Panahi and Mojtaba Mirtahmasb record Panahi on an iPhone as he's stuck at home under house arrest. At its core, the documentary is a protest film, a tool for discussing the limitations of persecuting artists in the country while defying the government's orders by making a documentary. Politics aside, "This is Not a Film" also has a very day-in-the-life quality as it follows Panahi through stories about his previous works while as he prepares to stage future projects within the confines of his home.
5. "Dawson City: Frozen Time" In 1976, the small northern town of Dawson City unearthed an unlikely treasure trove of rare silent films in various states of decay. Decades later, Bill Morrison artfully composed fragments of these movies with other archival material and photos to tell the story of this town in a remote part of Alaska and the number of famous (or infamous) souls passed through it over its history. The found silent-movie footage from nitrate prints that survived the area's harsh winters underground vary in their state of decomposition, but Morrison incorporates these so-called damaged works into the narrative.
4. "I Am Not Your Negro" Raoul Peck connects an unfinished James Baldwin novel about the murders of three of his friends who were leaders of the civil rights movement -- Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. -- to the present-day protests of Black Lives Matter in a visceral documentary narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. Incorporating interview footage and letters, Peck conjures up Baldwin's insightful voice to echo the works of years ago, a haunting reminder of how far equality has yet to go in the struggle against racial discrimination.
3. "The Grand Bizarre" At no point is there a singular character to follow or voice-over narration to guide us. Instead, Jodie Mack's dazzling stop-motion animated documentary just washes over its audiences with a fury of colors, patterns and textures of materials from around the world. This inventive documentary explores heady themes of globalization, mass production, cultural identity, travel, commerce and connectivity through the journey of several fabric swatches as they traipse around the world in immaculately arranged configurations, accompanied by Mack's playfully evocative score. Borders and barriers fall away as the materials come to life.
2. "Cameraperson" Kirsten Johnson steps out from behind the camera to become the subject of her own moving documentary about her work and life outside the frame. Her memoir-doc includes home movies of her family alongside a number of movies she shot throughout her career, including "Derrida," "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Happy Valley," "Citizenfour" and "Very Semi-Serious." It's a delicate balance between the Johnson audiences have come to know through her work and the person whose life exists outside the camera that's taken her to all these corners of the world.
1. "The Act of Killing" Shocking. Stomach-churning. Joshua Oppenheimer and an anonymous co-director uncover the humanity and the monstrosity behind some of the men who led death squads during Indonesia's war against Communists. Using the guise of creating an extravagant movie about the men's life stories, "The Act of Killing" gets its subjects to reveal dark secrets and dredge memories so awful, it makes them physically ill. They may never face the consequences for their actions, but this wildly fascinating and disturbing documentary captures perhaps one of the strangest confessions ever on film.

When Even Delivering the Mail Triggered a Slavery Debate
8/25/2020 Daniel Worthington

Artifacts & Documents
Ask the Historians
Illinois History
Congressman Abraham Lincoln of the House Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads had a seemingly innocuous task: amend a post roads bill by adding routes in rural Georgia and South Carolina. Little did Lincoln know that this bill would spark fierce debate and conflict in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bone of contention? Territorial expansion and the extension of slavery in the aftermath of the Mexican War.
Lincoln and his fellow members of the committee had a clear-cut assignment on the face of it: draft legislation establishing new postal routes for the growing republic. Committee chairman William L. Goggin introduced H.R. 260 on February 29, 1848. The committee then folded Lincoln's amendments into the bill and reported it back as amended on May 16.
Lincoln, around 1848 (ALPLM)
While Lincoln and the committee members were deliberating, the U.S. Senate was debating the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. Signed on February 2 and ratified by the Senate on March 10, this treaty officially ended the war with Mexico. Under its terms, Mexico acknowledged the Rio Grande River as the southern boundary of Texas and ceded 525,000 squares miles of its territory, including parts of present-day Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah, to the United States.
Acquisition of territory from Mexico raised concerns about the extension of slavery, reigniting sectional animosities and exacerbating lines of fission in the Democratic and Whig parties. Anti-slavery Democrats and Whigs were willing to accept territorial expansion if they also got approval of the Wilmot Proviso, which barred slavery from all territory acquired from Mexico. Conservative and moderate Whigs from the North and South, looking for a way to differentiate themselves from the pro-expansion Democrats, originally opposed taking Mexico's territory, with or without the proviso. After the war, they reluctantly accepted expansion rather than vote against the treaty ending the war.
Adding fuel to the fire was the unresolved question of the western border of Texas. Texans claimed the Upper Rio Grande as the boundary, including Santa Fe and territory also claimed by New Mexico. Acquiescence of this border would have allowed Texans to take slaves further west into the Mexican cession, pleasing pro-slavery Southern extremists but upsetting devotees of the Wilmot Proviso.
Texas-Mexico border, 1847 (Library of Congress)
It was against this backdrop that the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads reported back H.R. 260 with amendments. Included was a supplemental postal bill adding routes in Texas to the Rio Grande. This amendment sparked furious disagreement that threatened to scuttle the entire legislation. After additional amendments, the House voted to finalize the bill's language, but several Whig representatives moved to re-consider this vote, arguing in part that the bill effectively extended the boundary of Texas to Santa Fe and the Upper Rio Grande, opening these acquisitions to slavery and blunting the Wilmot Proviso. Goggin proposed a proviso disavowing any opinion on the boundary issue as a means to save H.R. 260, but the House refused to take further action.
Mexico and the United States, meanwhile, had exchanged ratifications, and the Polk administration proclaimed the treaty on July 4. With the southern boundary decided, Lincoln and his fellow committee members moved to save the postal route legislation. On July 19, Lincoln introduced H.R. 599, which was the same bill as H.R. 260, with the exception of a proviso added at the end as follows: "Provided, That nothing in this act contained, shall be so construed as to express any opinion as to the true boundary of any State or Territory therein named." This broke the deadlock. The House immediately passed the bill, and the Senate followed suit on August 11. President Polk signed the act into law three days later.
Detail from "A Bill to Establish Certain Post Routes" (Papers of Abraham Lincoln)
The postal routes controversy plunged Lincoln into the deep end of sectional controversy over the expansion of slavery. His introduction of H.R. 599 allowed the Post Office Department to establish postal routes in territory acquired from Mexico without furthering agitation over the western boundary of Texas. (Texas later gave up its claim to territory to the Upper Rio Grande in exchange for $10 million.) The conflict over postal routes, however, was a prelude to further sectional conflict over slavery in the new territory. The divisions threatened to explode into war but the threat was defused – for a few years, anyway – by the Compromise of 1850.

Biofutur group is a group of medical biology analysis laboratories in Ile-de-France, managed by independent medical biologists. Every day, more than 6,000 patients are treated at Biofutur by a team of around 500 employees and 60 medical biologists (doctors and pharmacists). The 51 sites of the Biofutur group are mainly located in Les Yvelines, the Val d´Oise and La Seine-et-Marne regions of France. The group has two technical platforms and three emergency centres. These platforms offer a large catalogue of analyses, with over 350 routine and specialty examinations (including medically assisted procreation and toxicology).The Biofutur group wishes to continue its development thanks, among other things, to the quality of its local medical care and its patient service. Since March 2020, Biofutur biologists have been at the heart of the national effort against COVID-19 by carrying out thousands of screening tests, in particular drive-in testing, and in nursing homes, as well as serological analyses.

The importance of having a healthy immune system cannot be overstated. Our ability to fight off disease is essential to having a good quality of life. The immune system is truly the sum of its parts, and its strength and efficiency come from ensuring each of these parts is catered to.
The Emergen-C immune Plus is a supplement that caters to one of these parts. In a world where not all diet choices are healthy or balanced, the supplement aims to address some of the deficiencies that you might have that affect how well your immune system works.
The supplement comes in a small blue-capped white container wrapped in the product label whose bright blue and orange colors make it distinguishable from similar products. The label is highly detailed, so you know exactly what it is you are getting.
The container has 45 gummies in total, and with a recommended intake of 3 gummies per day, it should last you half a month. The product is suitable for vegetarians and is completely caffeine and gluten free.
The gummies have natural flavors so they should be easy to digest. They each contain an assortment of Vitamins including Vitamin C, D, B6, and B12 as well as biotin, zinc, and magnesium. Zinc has been demonstrated to be essential in enzymatic processes and in good reproductive health, while magnesium aids in metabolism and development. Vitamin C is arguably the most important immune system vitamin while Vitamin D supports good bone health.
It's hard to measure the effectiveness of Emergen-C Immune Plus, but this is not a unique problem. Supplements are not subject to the same regulatory procedures as drugs, so they don't have hard scientific data to back up their claims. That said, this particular supplement contains all the ingredients needed to support good immune system function. Even in the absence of empirical evidence, it has the makings of a product that works as well as advertised.
You are supposed to take 3 gummies a day, but it is not specified when you should take them. The supplement is not intended to act as medication, so you cannot take it to combat an illness. It, however, makes sense to take it if you are looking for something holistic. Strengthening your immune system to clear an infection is sometimes all you can do with some illnesses such as the common cold.
You can additionally boost your immune system by ensuring that your diet is balanced and that your body is exercised. The benefits of these extend beyond good health so they are well worth the effort. An in those instances where you fall short, you can take your Emergen-C gummy for a boost.
Vitamin D plays an important role in regulating immune system function.

Memorandum of Understanding with YES BANK
Dalal Street (Brokers' Street)
Investor Protection Fund
On 4 October 2010, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) launched S&P BSE Sensex futures and options trading on Eurex, the world's largest derivatives exchange. In March 2012, BSE also launched the SME Exchange Platform and BRICSMART indices derivatives. In 2013, the BSE entered a strategic partnership with S&P Dow Jones Indices to offer currency and interest rate derivatives. In February 2014, the BSE launched an Institutional Trading Platform on the BSE SME.
Since 1986, the Sensex has grown at a compound annual rate of 14%, reflecting the substantial growth of the Indian economy and the expanding middle class. However, the Sensex fell by 40% during the coronavirus health crisis in March 2020, but it recovered over the rest of the year. It set a new all-time high in February 2021.
Sensex is a stock market index that is based on the market capitalization of Indian companies. It was first launched in 1986 and has surpassed the 1,000 point mark on several occasions. The S&P BSE SENSEX is a market capitalization-weighted index, which gives greater weight to the largest companies. It is also based on the free-float capitalization method, which only considers the shares that are freely available in the market and excludes the shares held by insiders and restricted investors.
On 8 September 2007, the Sensex crossed the 16,000 mark for the first time. It closed at a record high of 16,278 points at 1:30 PM. On 21 January 2021, the SENSEX crossed the 50,000 mark and closed at 50,181. On 24 September 2021, the SENSEX hit the 60,000 mark. It closed at 60218 at 9:30 AM, marking a new record for the SENSEX.
Sensex is a market capitalization-weighted index which tracks the performance of Indian stock market companies. The index was first launched in 1986 and is operated by the S&P. It measures companies' performance based on their market capitalization and is calculated in Indian rupees. The index has increased in value significantly since India opened its economy in 1991.
Since the launch, the Sensex has grown by 14% compound annual rate, a sign of a rapidly growing Indian economy and growing middle class. However, in March 2020, the index fell by 40% during a health crisis linked to coronavirus. However, it recovered over the course of the year and hit an all-time high in February 2021.
Yes Bank and BSE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The two organisations will share their expertise and resources to boost SME growth and facilitate the listing of SMEs on the BSE. The two institutions will also work together to develop banking and financial solutions for SMEs. In addition, the two institutions will conduct knowledge events to help small and medium enterprises become more competitive.
Yes Bank will offer customised solutions to listed SME members. It will also provide advisory services to EXIM potential listed SMEs. It is also launching a subsidiary, the India International Exchange (IFSC) Limited (India INX), located at the Gujarat International Finance-Tec City (GIFT City) IFSC in Ahmedabad. The BSE, which was formerly known as Bombay Stock Exchange, is also working with the IIT Alumni Council to promote startup listing and develop a High Investor Deptho platform for startups.
Dalal Street (Brokers' Street) is a bustling street in the heart of Mumbai, India, and is home to the Bombay Stock Exchange. Founded in 1874, the exchange is the largest in India and is home to renowned financial institutions. The name Dalal is derived from the Marathi word 'dalal', meaning broker, and is now synonymous with the city's financial industry, much like Wall Street is in New York City.
The BSE, which was formerly called the Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association, is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. The market capitalization of the BSE is more than $2.2 trillion, making it one of the world's biggest exchanges.
The Investor Protection Fund of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is responsible for ensuring that the interests of investors are protected. The funds are collected from members of stock exchanges. The money is used to cover expenses such as the security of the BSE building. The BSE is also committed to creating an investor-friendly environment. To make this happen, the BSE regularly conducts investor awareness programs. These programs are held in nearly all the states of India.
The BSE was the first exchange in the country to set up an Investor Protection Fund. It provides financial support to investors who have lost money due to broker default. Under the scheme, an investor can receive up to Rs 25 lakh as compensation.

At Mission Eye Care, we are proud to offer Keratoconus treatment in Calgary – being the leading provider of both diagnosis and management of keratoconus (KC) for patients in both southern Alberta as well as our neighbouring provinces.
We offer non-surgical optical correction for those with keratoconus. Our doctors have advanced residency training in specialty scleral and hybrid contact lens designs that can restore sharp vision, read more here.
A new study from the Netherlands show that the prevalence (number of people living with KC) is 1 in 375 people1. If we extrapolate that to the city of Calgary, with a population of 1.266 million people, there are expected to be 3,376 people with KC within our city alone. The incidence (number of new cases per year) is 1 in 2000 people.
At Mission Eye Care, our Optometrists have special interest in corneal disease and know that each case of keratoconus is different. Typically, KC first presents at the age of puberty and progresses over the next 10-20 years. Eventually, after age 40-45, progression usually halts. Severity of the disorder varies from very mild irregular astigmatism, to severe thinning, protrusion and scarring, which may require keratoplasty (a corneal transplant). Albertans are fortunate as Alberta Health Care now covers Corneal Crosslinking (CXL), which is a surgical procedure meant to stabilize the progression of KC so keratoplasty is not required in the future. We recommend any patient under the age of 40, whose condition is still progressing, have CXL done prior to being fit with contact lenses as the shape of the cornea will change after surgery.
Patients with KC often find they have large amounts of astigmatism, and may suffer from blurry vision, even while wearing glasses. Haloes and starbursts at night are also commonly noticed with KC. At Mission Eye Care, diagnosis can be confirmed with topography, which measures the shape of the front of the cornea. "Normal" corneas should be of a regular, spherical shape. Corneas with KC typically show steepening of the inferior cornea, resulting in protrusion and thinning of the cornea over that area.
CXL is strongly suggested for any newly diagnosed patient under the age of 40 to ensure progression of KC stops. CXL does not improve vision on its own, however, some surgeons elect to also perform a laser correction procedure at the same time as CXL to both halt progression of KC and reshape the cornea to improve vision. After CXL, specialty contact lenses have the potential to improve vision, in many cases, close to 20/20 vision can be regained. These lenses are able to establish a more spherical shape to the front of the eye, allowing light to focus properly onto the retina. At Mission Eye Care, our doctors have highly specialized training to determine which type of specialty lens is best suited for each patient (insert link to specialty lens page here). Some surgeons offer INTACS (intrastromal corneal ring segment) to improve vision, although the results of this procedure vary, and many patients still require glasses or specialty contact lenses after the procedure. Rarely, progression of KC continues to progress, causing corneal scarring or thinning of the cornea to such an extent that rupturing of the corneal layers may result. In these instances, keratoplasty (corneal transplant) is recommended. There are many different types of corneal transplants, the most common types for KC are a full-thickness transplant, or a partial transplant of only the anterior (front) layers of the cornea. Many patients will still require specialty contact lenses after transplantation.
If you or someone in your office may be affected by keratoconus, please contact our office to book an appointment to discuss your unique needs. Our clinic has long been one of the largest fitting centers for specialty lenses in Alberta. We carry a large number of custom fitting sets and invest in the latest tools and technology to provide world class care for our patients with keratoconus. We are also the only clinic in western Canada to have the custom molded EyePrintPro prosthetic lenses for advanced corneal disease.

As of the end of 2017, enterprise VoIP has gained popularity through the use of Skype, Google Hangouts, and the myriad other web applications available today. But where is VoIP heading in 2018 and beyond, and how will you and your business benefit? Let's take a look at some of the top trends for the coming year.
As a global leader in delivering superior communications experiences, Avaya provides the most complete portfolio of software and services for multi-touch contact center and unified communications offered on premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid. Today's digital world centers on communications enablement, and no other company is better positioned to do this than Avaya.
When caring for patients is your number-one priority, both clinical staff and patients need to be able to reach you by phone. To its detriment, Medical Oncology and Hematology Associates of Iowa (MOHA), also known as Cancer Center of Iowa, struggled with three disparate legacy phone systems, one for each clinic location. The clinics also had no way to transfer calls or dial between locations. Once MOHA went live with Avaya IP Office, the most important improvement shone through: callers were able to get through to a receptionist, instead of getting a busy signal when they called.

How I Do Ratings
Live to read. Read to live.
"You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book."
Book Review: The Sleepwalker
I was so excited when I was sent a copy of The Sleepwalker by Joseph Knox, the third in his Aiden Waits series, and I shall tell you for why: because Knox has quickly catapulted himself right to the top of my favourite crime writers list, a spot I suspect he's going to hold onto for a while.
This guy, this guy who has only published these three books is a really really good writer, this is the kind of crime fiction you dream about reading, the kind you wish all of the books were like. It's dark and atmospheric and so well-thought out and beautifully constructed. This is book three in the series now so we know Aiden, we know he's a fucked up little anti-hero that we want to shake as much as we wish we could protect him and we know, we just know that some of his choices are going to be super questionable. It's not even a spoiler to say that they are. Aiden's line between right and wrong isn't blurry, it's been erased. I adore him.
So the premise is this: Aiden is still on the nightshift, he's still working with Sutty and there's still not much love lost. They're assigned to keep a watch on a dying serial killer in the hope he'll fess up to where a body is buried before he dies but somebody kills him before he gets the chance, Sutty is injured in the attack and Aiden is left to pick up the pieces. Throw in another officer who's more than a little bit shady, blackmailing him, a new partner who he might have feelings for, Zain bloody Carver (again) and some woman who keeps phoning him up asking him to come and help out with the mother who abused him when he was a child and you have this book, which might seem like it's a lot but which actually, because Knox is such a masterful writer, is actually just the perfect amount.
This book is tense and fast-paced and snappy but also still gorgeous in the atmosphere is builds and the way it unfolds. It's twisty and turny and it makes you clench your fists as you think 'oh, god, please no' and then sends you spinning in another direction, and once again it sucker punches you right in the feels as you watch Aiden's life unravel around him as he tries to do this version of the right thing.
It's set in Manchester again, which is an added bonus for me because - and I say this every time - I love the familiarity, I love being able to picture where the action is unfolding and whilst i'm sure I'd love these books if the were set in Timbuctoo, I certainly love them more because they're set on my doorstep.
And the ending.
I'd love to say this was a fitting end to the trilogy but that would be a lie because I just want more. I don't want this series ever to end. I think because whilst you'll find this book in the crime fiction section, it, like Sirens and The Smiling Man is so much more than that - it's a look at human nature, and it's a fantastic character study.

Update on Rules for Written Dental Records
February 26, 2015 By claudia
I wanted to provide our membership with a summary/update regarding proposed rule changes by the Board of Dentistry (BOD) governing the requirements for written dental records (Rule 64B5-17.002, Written Dental Records, Minimum Content, Retention).
As many are aware, a three member BOD Task Force had proposed adding new language, with more detailed requirements, to the existing rule. Several Task Force meetings were held, with discussions of the proposed changes, over a period of many months, since about the summer of 2013.
However, admittedly not until somewhat later in the process, several organized dental groups took notice and developed concerns regarding the proposed rule language.
Although some of the new requirements dealt with issues such as informed consent, record alterations, retention of one's appointment book, and maintenance of electronic dental records – which were largely non-controversial – the portion of the new Rule language singled out as being the most objectionable or controversial had been limited to language added to Sections 1(a) through 1(e) (please see existing rule language, and the previously proposed new language, denoted by underline, at the end of this update).
Following a January, 2014 Florida Dental Association House of Delegates (FDA HOD) meeting in Tampa, in which BOD Chair, Dr. Joe Thomas, was present for a Q & A regarding the issue, I sent out an email to our executive board and other interested parties with information and concerns expressed. Soon thereafter, our president, Mark Braxton, appointed an ad hoc committee (composed of myself as chair, also Larry Nissen, Tom Bowers, and Mike Huey) to further study and discuss the issue. As a result, we voted to develop a position letter, which we then brought to our board for approval, and forwarded it to the BOD, in which we stated opposition to the addition of new language to the existing rule.
Soon thereafter, however, the BOD passed the new rule language at a May, 16 meeting. Following this, a greater level of concern developed among multiple other dental groups, and among grass roots dentists throughout the state.
The Florida Dental Association (FDA) then jumped on board and, at a
June 13-14 HOD meeting, passed a resolution to "oppose the recent addition of language within Rule 64B5-17.002, Paragraph 1(a) through 1(e), and take such steps as appropriate, up to and including, a challenge of the proposed rule."
Soon thereafter, FSOMS and FDA sent letters to the BOD requesting an appearance to discuss the Rue language further at a planned "Rule Workshop" scheduled for August 22 in Orlando. Leading up the workshop, I had also communicated with all of the other specialty groups in Florida (excluding oral path, radiology, public health), and all of whom agreed to join us (FSOMS) in appearing before the BOD to express the same/similar message.
The August 22 Rule Workshop began with a brief presentation by the FDA liaison to the BOD, Dr. Don Ilkka. Following that item, Mike Huey and I both spoke before the BOD, and with reps from each of the other dental specialty groups sitting along side us at the table. A rep from AGD then followed us on the agenda.
As a result, the BOD voted to table the entire rule, and send it back to committee. Also, the previous chair of the BOD Records Task Force, Wade Winker, declined to continue his previous well-intended effort. Upon asking for another volunteer from within the BOD, the newest BOD member, and our own, TJ Tejera, agreed to be the new chair.
In search of a new direction, TJ decided to:
(1) do away with Section 1(a) through 1(e) which had caused so much consternation, and
(2) replace it with a paragraph of language, with some minor changes in wording, which had withstood the test of time, and had already been in place and in use since 1992 – by the Board of Medicine.
(Please see new language at the end of this update)
Upon seeing the new language – it appeared to help the BOD in terms of providing items which no doubt should be included within a dental or medical record, but yet with language which few, if any, could argue with or feel threatened by.
And for now – it appears to be a problem solved.
A meeting/teleconference of the BOD Dental Records Task Force was held last evening in which the new language appeared well appreciated and well liked by virtually everyone on the call. The rule would next need to pass through a vote of the Rules Committee (November 6), and then by the BOD at the next general meeting (November 21).
Anyone familiar with the rulemaking process would tell you that nothing is "final" at this point, as unforeseen changes may still occur. But in any case, this appears to be headed in the right direction, and we will continue to make every effort to keep you, our members, informed.

An article by Dawid Konotey-Ahulu
Walking with the Wounded – Mount Everest
Mt Manaslu, Himalayas, West-Central Nepal
It is a sad day hearing of the huge loss of life on Mt Manaslu. The tragic news emphasises the bravery of the team of disabled soldiers who attempted to climb Mt Everest in April this year in support of the charity Walking With The Wounded (WWTW), founded by Edward Parker and Simon Daglish. In preparation for their assault on the highest peak on earth, the WWTW team earlier climbed the extremely difficult (but, at 8,156m, slightly lower), Mt Manaslu, eighth highest mountain in the world and site of yesterday's climbing disaster. For the WWTW team, the successful ascent of Mt Manaslu was an extraordinary achievement in its own right, but, as I mentioned, it was actually just altitude and tactical training for The Big One: Mount Everest.
Bear in mind each member of the WWTW team had a major disability. Jaco Van Gass, 25, for example, lost most of his left arm when he was hit by a rocket propelled grenade in Afghanistan. Last week, at a Hermes conference, I met Jaco, along with some of the WWTW Everest climb team, and, man, his story is humbling, amazing and inspiring.
Jaco Van Gass
It was 2007. Stuck in a dead-end job in Pretoria, South Africa, and, with ambitions for greater things, Jaco decided to enlist in the British Army – something he had always wanted to do in any case. He sold all his possessions and purchased a one-way ticket to London. He soon found himself trained up and on the front line in Afghanistan assisting the Special Forces.
With only two weeks to go before he returned to the UK at the end of his second tour, he had just completed a difficult mission and was waiting to be picked up by helicopter when his unit came under enemy fire. Jaco had "my incident", as he describes it. Hit by an RPG, (they're used against armoured personnel carriers), he lost his arm above the elbow, and suffered severe injuries to his leg and internal organs. "It was touch and go whether I would make it" he says matter-of-factly.
Once he had recovered (sort of), he volunteered to join the WWTW trek to the North Pole unsupported. When he turned up for the assessment, he was initially greeted with incredulity, since, at that point, he could still barely walk. He made the trip in 2011 (that's another story) and then signed up to climb Everest.
I've heard some accounts of bravery, but this team's attempt on Everest is on a different level altogether. The biting cold, treacherous shifting ice (conditions were too warm), unsettled Sherpas and the effect of being seriously disabled, all combined to make for an exceptionally dangerous and unprecedented expedition. The account of the WWTW team trying to navigate rapidly the death trap that is the Khumbu Icefall whilst avoiding large, falling rocks in the freezing dark, is astonishing.
The Khumbu Icefall
Jaco himself is one of the coolest and nicest guys you could hope to meet. He's totally unassuming and there's not a hint of bitterness. Take a deep breath and watch him tell his story. If it doesn't adjust your perspective on your own life, I'll be surprised.
I happened to end up talking to Jaco Van Gass, but Martin Hewitt, Manindra Rai, David Wiseman, Francis Atkinson, Andy Hawkins, Karl Hinett, Chris Gwilt and Daniel Majid all have equally moving and incredible accounts of the expedition.
If you want to donate to WWTW, here's the link: http://walkingwiththewounded.org.uk/everest2012/donate/
And if you want to inspire your own teamin whatever it does, you'll be hard pressed to find a better talk than this one.
Why did you take part in the expedition?
In order to raise the profile of the wounded. To prove anything is possible if you put your mind to it. To prove that life goes on post injury! To adapt, improvise and overcome, you have to get back up. To inspire other wounded men and women.
– Jaco Van Gass

Sightseeing in San Juan
San Juan, Puerto Rico is a truly fantastic city to visit. It's full of culture, beautiful architecture, delicious food, and interesting sights to see. The gorgeous weather and beaches don't hurt either! There are so many different sights to see in San Juan that you'll most likely want multiple days to fully experience the city. Sightseeing in San Juan is an unmissable experience.
San Juan truly has something for everybody, making sightseeing in San Juan an extremely customizable activity. It has beautiful beaches and world-class luxury resorts both in the city and in neighboring towns. The heart of the city, Old San Juan, is a UNESCO world heritage site that blends traditional colonial architecture with contemporary Puerto Rican culture. Old San Juan has tons of delicious restaurants and great shopping.
History of San Juan
Spanish colonists founded San Juan in 1521. They gave it the name Ciudad de Puerto Rico. Under Spanish rule, merchant and military ships often used it as a port when traveling to the Americas. Its use justified building an extensive network of barriers and forts to serve as protection.
Because of the city's prominence and expensive cargoes in ships that would stop in San Juan, San Juan was often attacked by other foreign powers. One such famous attack occurred in 1595, led by Sir Francis Drake and George Clifford. Over the next 200 years, both the Dutch and the British attacked the city. Spanish soldiers were able to continuously repel any attacks.
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, various events, such as colonial revolutions, liberalized commerce with Spain. The opening of Puerto Rico to immigrants greatly increased San Juan's population.
In 1898, United States Navy ships attacked San Juan. This attack was extremely powerful, and the ultimate result was the Spaniards ceding control of Puerto Rico to the United States in the Treaty of Paris.
The United States used San Juan and Puerto Rico extensively as training camps for both World War I and World War II. Interestingly, the man who fired the first shot by the United States armed forces in World War I was a Puerto Rican native.
In 1947, Felisa Rincon de Gautier was elected as mayor of San Juan.
This election gave Rincon de Gautier the honor of being the first woman to be elected as Mayor of any capital city in all of the Americas.
In 1950, San Juan was the site of the San Juan uprising. In this uprising, insurrectionists attempted to attack the governor's palace in a protest against the Puerto Rican and United States governments. The attack on the governor's palace was short-lived, as police killed 4 of the 5 attackers.
San Juan is currently the capital and largest city of Puerto Rico. The city has a population of around 400,000. It is a major source of Puerto Rico's income and GDP. This is especially true as Puerto Rico transitions to a service-based economy, rather than manufacturing. The services sector, which includes things like trade, tourism, finance, and government work, has quickly become the leading industry in Puerto Rico, accounting for around half of its GDP and employing up to 75% of all workers on the island.
Top Tourist Attractions
San Juan is a very popular tourist destination, both for individual travelers and as a major cruise-ship stop. We've compiled a list of some of the best tourist destinations that you must visit when sightseeing in San Juan.
Old Town San Juan
Probably the best tourist attraction in San Juan, Old Town San Juan is a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. Viejo San Juan showcases 500 years of architecture and history. It hosts historic forts and traditional Spanish colonial architecture. The Old Town contains hundreds of beautifully restored colonial buildings, many of which house restaurants, shops, museums, and hotels. You can explore the whole area on foot, which makes for a great half-day walking tour.
San Juan Cemetery
The San Juan Cemetery consistently ranks among the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. The cemetery lies along the coast, right next to the famous fort El Morro, and has elaborate tombstones and statues. The centerpiece of the cemetery is a chapel with a red dome. The chapel is dedicated to Mary Magdalene. It is certainly a worthy stop for anybody sightseeing in San Juan.
El Morro is the name of the fort that has protected San Juan for hundreds of years. It was built in 1539 and has been continuously expanded and renovated for the following 200-300 years. El Morro is a National Historic Site and a UNESCO world heritage site, and both the fort itself and the lawn approaching the fort offer incredible views of the ocean and the city of San Juan.
Fort San Cristobal
Although El Morro is the more famous fort, you can't miss San Cristobal. San Cristobal is not only a bigger fort but is actually the largest Spanish fort in the New World. It was built in the 17th and 18th centuries, and unlike El Morro, which was designed to protect San Juan from naval attacks, Fort San Cristobal was designed to protect San Juan from land attacks.
The Museo De Las Americas, located in Old San Juan, is a great way to learn about the history of Puerto Rico. The museum focuses on the art, ethnic groups, and colonization of the country, and is a great stop before you embark on any other cultural experiences.
Condado and Ocean Park Beach
The Condado district was developed as Puerto Rico's first tourist district in the 1950s. Condado offers many different hotels and accommodations at every price point. The white-sand beach here is beautiful, soft, and very popular.
Advertising in San Juan with bMedia
With so many tourists visiting, San Juan is a great place to advertise your business. Additionally, since the weather is warm and mild year-round, San Juan lends itself very nicely to outdoor advertising. bMedia has consistently been Puerto Rico's Premier Outdoor Advertising Company, with hundreds of billboards island-wide.
