President Trump will break another promise Friday afternoon when he unveils his plan for lowering the cost of prescription drugs, backing off his campaign trial pledge to use the government's power to negotiate them for Medicare.
And that means he's selling out to the drug companies, according to none other than Trump himself.
The New York Times is also reporting that Trump won't call for Medicare to negotiate drug prices. In other words, it's a half-measure. We don't know exactly what Trump will propose, but it sounds as though it will come up short of what he proposed on the campaign trail.
But Trump didn't just propose the change on the campaign trail; he said those who opposed it were in the pockets of the drug companies — a criticism that could now just as aptly be applied to him.
Q: Is he for Medicare negotiating drug prices or not?
Sean Spicer: He's for it, yes. He wants to make — absolutely. The president's clear — I mean when you look at the cost — not just drug cost. The U.S. government has not done — I mean, you look at what other — frankly, the easier way to look at this is what other countries have done — negotiating costs to keep those down.
Trump often spoke more generally about negotiating drug prices in 2017, without specifically citing Medicare.
"The other thing we have to do is create new bidding procedures for the drug industry, because they're getting away with murder," he said in early January 2017, just before being inaugurated.
Cummings, after sitting down with Trump for roughly an hour in the White House, said the president not only gave his enthusiastic support for Medicare negotiation, he's also pushing to grant the federal government even broader negotiating powers.
This isn't the first time Trump has said a position he wound up taking was essentially a sellout to powerful interests. After the mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., he repeatedly suggested that members of Congress didn't act because they were "afraid" of the National Rifle Association. Trump, it turns out, hasn't pushed for changes that the NRA opposed, after all.
It's one thing to make a promise; it's another to say those who oppose it are in the pockets of powerful interests — and then join them.


I am a prolific media whore. Various bits of me have featured in the media, including specialist trade publications. If you Google 'Nick Perry salami', I am the top hit.
Me and Damo immortalized on telly with food in our grubby mits. Whoddathunk?
Various parts of my anatomy have appeared, generally out of focus, and at some distance, in television programmes over the years. Sadly many are lost from the archives. From my chin in a particularly exciting edition of BBC Question Time, filmed in Fleetwood in the mid nineties, to a notable half-second shot of my hands eating a hot dog in Heston's Mission Impossible.
And who can forget my world-famous mushroom ice cream recipe? A seminal moment in comedian Jon Richardson's Sunday morning BBC Radio 6 Music show. Co-host Matt Forde described it as "wrong". It was a recipe that marked both the start and end of a supposed weekly recipe on the programme's website.
Something possessed me to repsond to a call on Twitter for people of various ages who had something to say about how their live plays out on the internet. Dismayed I'd be representing the oldest group, I lectured the journalist from The Guardian for an hour on the history of the internet and somehow she managed to form my words into readable copy. The pic came a few weeks later when it was cold and that's the excuse I'm sticking to for why my man breasts are so prominent.
Famed for my gizmos, it was only natural that consumer champions Which? magazine would eventually catch up with me.
When food writer and Masterchef finalist Alex Rushmer couldn't make the inaugural Stoke Newington Literary Festival in 2010, did the organizers panic? No they did not. They called on me (well, no they didn't but I happened to be passing and, well, one thing let to another). I hosted a cooking demonstration at the Stoke Newington Farmers' Market with winner of the Waitrose Food Illustrated competition to find a new voice in food writing, Elisa Beynon, author of The Vicar's Wife Cookbook.
I've latterly been found at the Market calling numbers in Apple Bingo and making sausages with farmer Iain Learmonth.
For reasons that can only be described as accidental, between 2001 and 2003 I was the voice of the Screen on Baker Street and the Screen on the Green (now Everyman) cinemas. Which practically makes me a Hollywood voice artist. Each week, people dialling the recorded information line would hear my, somewhat camp, voice announcing the latest film times and prices. Somehow it didn't make me as famous as I'd hoped. Though a couple of people did once reckon to recognize my voice. Or at least my heavy breathing.

It is wonderful to hEAR from you again. Dining at Palo is always a must-do for my husband and me when we sail with Disney Cruise Line. There are so many things to love about this Italian-inspired meal including the romantic atmosphere, phenomenal service and delectable cuisine. And the pièce de résistance for me is always the fresh-baked Chocolate Soufflé. They truly save the best for last! I'm so glad it's on your agenda for your upcoming cruise.
Jeffery, I reached out to Disney Cruise Line and was told that an exception can absolutely be made and that a dressy, stylish hat along with the appropriate Palo attire should be perfectly fine for your lovely wife. I do suggest giving the maître d' at Palo a call before your reservation to let them know of your wife's attire so it can be noted on your reservation. The number to call will be in your cruise newsletter.
Thank you for reaching out with your question, Jeffery. Please continue to let us know if we can assist you further with your magical plans for the Disney Fantasy. We are always happy to help.

Home Special Reports HR & Training Reports Clever Platforms: Accessible profiling and business tools
Clever Platforms: Accessible profiling and business tools
One of the most important activities for HR is Who to put Where in what Role and with what Responsibilities. And whether you are recruiting, appraising, shuffling or promoting, an insightful and powerful online tool that you might wish to call upon is Profiling. But at this point, a challenge can arise!
And the challenge is that business tools – including Profiling – are often hugely expensive either in Certification fees or in the costs of implementing them. The alternative of a bespoke tool is an equally serious investment that can easily cost thousands! And yet, so many people have great ideas for tools that would benefit their managers and staff.
But technology has moved on and we started to wonder… was there a way of making Profiling and other really useful tools more economical and more accessible? To get to the answer, we looked at four distinct areas:
AREA 1: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Profiling was a perfect place to start, because profiling tools classify people according to responses to questions and deliver insights into specific aspects of the personality. This is a perfect formula that lends itself to the implementation of many business tools, but profiling is of particular interest because the BIg Question is:
WHO OWNS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR)?
Well, for the roots of profiling we need to go back 5,000 years to the I-Ching and the four elements Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. In the 4th Century BC the Greek philosopher Empedocles (me neither!) echoed this with his cosmological theory which said the universe was made of four elements – Fire, Air, Water and Earth. Hippocrates, the Father of Western Medicine, built on this by characterising four personality types and Aristotle added a fifth element, Aether; which the Chinese already had and called Spirit.
At the beginning of the 20th Century, the philosopher Carl Jung became aware of these ancient teachings. In 1921 he published his book, 'Psychological Types' which is the basis of modern profiling tools.
Many well-known systems have been created. Some, such as Myers-Briggs, are Jung based and define, amongst other things, whether a person is introvert or extrovert and the career roles that suit them best. Other systems – DISC, Talent and Wealth Dynamics and even NLP – look at different things.
The Big Question is critical for anyone considering building their own tool because whilst the specific set of questions, algorithms and the report generated are unquestionably the Intellectual Property of the organisation or person that created them (i.e. DISC) the essence and concept of Profiling itself is an Ancient Wisdom that has been handed down and used for thousands of years – i.e. out of copyright.
AREA 2: PRODUCTION
Not that long ago, Programming was a highly valued occupation. Programmers worked in-house for large organisations or expensive consultancies and the work they did was full of mystique [to me it's still full of mystique]. Everything had to be individually coded for a specific project and programmers were renowned for not needing much sleep!
But nowadays youngsters seem to arrive on the Planet with inbuilt expertise. They are producing all sorts of things with their Micro Bit at school and – you heard it here first – will soon be building APPS before they can walk!
In the early 90's I was fortunate enough to connect with a brilliant programmer who shared a mutual curiosity and conviction about IT and personal development. Over the years we built many online tools both for ourselves and to client specification. But things have changed and – in my layman's language – blocks of code can now be re-used. This means we don't have to keep starting from scratch – which means it takes less time to create a tool. And it has also allowed us to build a platform with selected features that can be reused time and time again.
AREA 3: THE PRICE OF INFORMATION
I don't' know about you but in my quest to serve clients well, I have somehow embraced an ever expanding range of practices. Starting with NLP, Time-line Therapy and Hypnotherapy, I paid huge amounts of money to become a Trainer of all three, then on to Master Coach and Business Performance Consultant. I paid the fees and invested the time willingly, because that was the only way to get access to exclusive information. But all that has changed.
Only a relatively few companies now successfully charge for NLP Training – in fact it's hard to give it away. Wikipedia will give you a run-down of all the NLP techniques you will ever need and Youtube delivers free recordings of live training sessions.
The old paradigm of charging a huge amount for the results of people answering a few questions must also now be under review. Increasingly, businesses deliver information for free [i.e. free webinars or videos] and rely on upselling membership of 'Exclusive' Mastermind Groups for a remarkably low price..!
Actually nothing is 'Free' – it's just that you pay with money or with your email address. Free events are held around the country to teach entrepreneurs and consultants the secrets of parting people from their money. It's really scary seeing the techniques in action! (Perhaps I should run a 'Free' event on protecting yourself from the deep and overwhelming desire to purchase immediately before they all go.)
But you will be aware that Software is also sold differently now and instead of paying hundreds of pounds for a physical copy of a product [i.e. Office] people can pay a subscription to have access to the software or the IPR online.
AREA 4: ACCESSIBILITY
All this started us thinking, and we set ourselves a challenge.
Could we find a way to:
open up access to our own portfolio of tools for HR to use freely in their organisations;
build a Wizard of templates for members to create their own simple tools;
compile a library of really good, short, training modules; and
do it all for a monthly subscription starting at £10?
And the answer to all of these is YES! Took a while but we've done it and it's called CLEVER PLATFORMS.
£10 A MONTH – YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
I have worked within the Public Sector for over 25 years and have a deep respect for HR and L&D Professionals who work tirelessly to support, develop and empower managers and staff but who have been hampered by deep cuts in their budgets. And we practice what we preach.
£10 a month is the membership fee for an individual with up to 10 active clients on the system and you can add more. You can also join as a Team which means that members can share each other's tools and results, and we have a whole organisation option.
The first tools to be uploaded to the platform are Profiling, Resilience, Work-life Balance and Stress. I'm just finishing a new tool to help HR identify whether an employee is presenting with stress, anxiety, low mood or possibly something more serious, including clinical depression; and you can build your own tools too.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO HR?
People 'Trust' what they see on a screen: to be able to offer Profiling and other tools in your organisation is a great way of positioning yourself and HR as experts in your field.
Tools are about opening a dialogue: it's not about labelling people or putting them in boxes it's about having insightful conversations with your managers and staff.
Tools work at all levels: from the most junior to the most senior in your organisation, you and I both know that no matter what issue they are presenting, there's always more going on under the surface! The understandings you glean from the right tools can ensure you're fully in the loop and in the very best position to help the person find a resolution.
We had a team debate recently and decided that if we were in the Care sector, CLEVER PLATFORMS would count as Assisted Living. Our aim is to deliver a platform for people to use independently but developing a tool can be tricky at first. So, the first thing we do is take you through a series of steps to design and produce your first one.
And – dare I say it – all this happens in a FREE 10-DAY TRIAL . . .
TIME TO REGISTER
HR is the lynch pin that keeps the Public Sector wheels turning, and anything that can make life easier has to be worth investigating. It's said there's a tool in everyone and we have seen some fantastic ones being created. During your trial, not only will you have unlimited access to the platform but we'll help you to build your very own first tool.
If you are even a little bit intrigued, why not give us a go. There's no obligation and you have 10 days to try everything out.
If that sounds like a plan, CLICK HERE to register for your FREE 10-DAY TRIAL.

Since Bean doesn't know Fencer there isn't likely to be any surprise but Groggle would definitely be found in a butcher shop it could be just another possible relative to Groggle though there wouldn't be many of his kind.
Ooh, good call! I hadn't considered Groggle.
Is it okay if we start a betting pool on who or what Bean spotted through the window? My money is on Ravna and Fencer.
I think that that is fine. 🙂 so you say fencer and ravna???


The last two weeks have been a slow, painful process of getting ill and getting better. This weekend's rest proved to be not enough as I fought through symptoms of my viral infection at work today, which resulted in me going home after 6 hours in the office!
In the time that I've been ill I've not been cooking so much, though I had a pleasant surprise last Friday when I craved for zucchini (OK, my British comrades would say 'courgette') fritters. Having accidentally processed my vegetables to a batter-like consistency, I ended up with zucchini cakes! Bouncy, crispy on the outside and quite a treat, especially as I've not had an appetite for days.
Put all the ingredients in a food processor, to your desired consistency (mine was really batter-like, a surprisingly nice accident). Add the egg and blitz until the egg is well-mixed in. Fold in potato flour and matzo meal. Season well. Drop 1 tablespoon-full sized measures of batter in the hot oil, reduce to a medium heat, cook until cakes are golden brown (approx 5 min per side).
Apologies for not costing this one - perhaps I'll update it later on!

2020 PRS McCarty 594 McCarty Sunburst #0303249
SKU: 1-0303249
This 2020 McCarty 594 from PRS has a beautiful maple top, in a subtle McCarty Sunburst finish.
The great McCarty 594 model by Paul Reed Smith has actually become even better in 2020 and with this McCarty Sunburst version we rightfully have a beauty in our home. Look at that amazing Maple top, what a great flame! The McCarty Sunburst color also stands out, ideal for the guitarist who likes a more subtle color / burst. This finish may look even more beautiful due to the renewed CAB (nitro) finish formula, which makes the colors and flamed maple stand out even more. Since its introduction a few years ago, the McCarty 594 has become a true classic within the PRS line-up. The guitar takes the second part of its name from its 24,594-inch scale length, and is inspired by vintage LP-style guitars from the 1950s. However - as befits PRS - this traditional formula has been given a new, more reliable and innovative look. Consider, for example, the 58/15 LT pickups that can be switched from humbucker to single coil via push/pull potentiometers for a wide range of beautiful, vintage-oriented tones. These Low Turn humbuckers have a somewhat milder output than most double-coil pickups, which produces an incredibly warm sound with just the right amount of definition. These pickups have always been insane, but thanks to the new TCI tuning, the split-coil settings sound even more convincing. In addition, the McCarty 594 is equipped with the special "pattern vintage" neck profile. This profile is a combination of the finest '50s necks, but has the unique feature that it ends asymmetrically. This means that the neck at the higher frets is slightly thicker on the bass side than on the treble side, so that the neck will lie comfortably in the hand over its entire length. And also underestimate the effect of the PRS Two-Piece Cast Zinc bridge. This bridge sounds a lot fuller than many TOM bridges, and therefore has a huge impact on the overall sound. The traditional combination of a mahogany body and neck, maple top and rosewood fingerboard completes the whole. As for the 2020 adjustments, the latest 594 models feature Vintage-Style tuners (no more locking tuners), the aforementioned CAB finish, and TCI-tuned pickups. In our opinion, these upgrades give the guitar an even more traditional feel, without compromising on the modern and reliable character of PRS. Totally awesome!
What is TCI?
TCI is an abbreviation for Tuned Capacitance and Inductance treatment . This way of fine tuning pickups originated during the design process of the Silver Sky, in collaboration with John Mayer. Both Paul Reed Smith and John Mayer were obsessed with recreating the Stratocaster single coils from the '63 to '65 as accurately as possible, with just the right balance of highs and lows. When a pickup is wound, the coils are also capacitors (capacitance), resistors and inductors (inductance) at the same time. Until now these three elements could not be influenced separately, but Paul Reed Smith has cracked the code to isolate and fine-tune these factors. Thanks to the TCI treatment, the pickups are now even better tuned to the guitar to produce the purest guitar sound to date. TCI is therefore more than just a new kind of pick-up, it is a completely innovative process. That process is now applied to all PRS pickups offered in the Core line, with the exception of some Signature models.

OTSEGO COUNTY - Army Pfc. Josh Dipzinski, injured in an explosion in Iraq last month, is doing well and recovering after surgery, stated his father Dwain Dipzinski, of Johannesburg.
"Josh underwent surgery last week to remove shrapnel which was irritating some nerves in his right arm," said Dipzinski, who noted his son is currently on a rest and rehabilitation vacation along the Persian Gulf. "He will still need to undergo four to six weeks of physical therapy to work through numbness in his arm, but he is in good spirits."
Pfc. Dipzinski was wounded in February when the Humvee he was riding in was targeted by an insurgent who hurled a bag containing a rocket propelled grenade at them, injuring all the occupants. Dipzinski, the gunner on the Humvee received shrapnel wounds to his legs, arms, face and neck.
While the leg injuries are healing nicely, and doctors believe the shrapnel will work its way out of the skin on his face, Dipzinski is most concerned about the wounds to Josh's right arm.
"Josh told me Wednesday when he called from the Gulf that he had some numbness in his arm, but he can move his fingers, which is a good sign," stated the elder Dipzinski. "He hopes to come home on leave sometime in May, but he fully expects to return to active duty in Iraq after that.
"He sounds more relaxed now and not quite as scared."

Q: ASP NET Identity Manager database permissions I have got Identity Manager set up and running locally, working with ASP.NET Identity. I have a SQL Server 2012 database for the backend. I can create a user and get a list back, however whenever I try and create a role, edit a user or list the roles i get the following:
CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
The user i have in the connection string is a valid SQL login and is a user on the database that Identity Manager is pointed at, (and obviously can login as i can see the user in the database table) however it seems like for these actions the database is claiming the user connecting hasn't got permission.
I am running the app pool for identity manager under the AppPoolIdentity.
Appreciate any help.

A: So issues were due to first of all me not passing my context to the role store (i was passing it to my user store however) and then making sure the identity manager service was getting my role manager. After i went through all the dependencies carefully i got it all working with no issues.

I caught Margaret Glaspy right at the tail-end of SXSW a few weeks ago. She was sharing a bill with the great Kevin Morby, and the two of them seemed to sit perfectly side-by-side each other, musically speaking. Glaspy is a brilliant new American guitarist and singer, with rootsy and raw being her two greatest traits. I think her voice is something else entirely – that guttural scream, when she reaches it, is awe-inspiring. She's got an album called 'Emotions and Math' out on June 17 via ATO Records, and she plays her debut London show on August 23 at Moth Club, two days after an appearance at Green Man festival.
Boston's Ellen Kempner is part of a clique of eclectic new North American bedroom songwriters who make their break on the other side of the Atlantic, before eagle-eyed indies over here pick them up. Heavenly just put out the UK release 'Dry Food', by Kempner's band Palehound, and it's an intriguing, invigorating listen. We've got a sampler to stream below (including a cover of Kelly Clarkson's 'Miss Independent'), with tracks veering from scatty post-punk cacophony ('Molly') to sad-eyed acoustic folk ('Dry Food').
"Of course the big problem was perpetual drunkenness – people would drink themselves to death. I was born on October 4, 1990. It was a very interesting, but critical time for Russia, a time of great change. The Soviet Union was no more, and old values were anathematized because of reconstruction.
"Since I was 12 I lived permanently in Moscow and started having big problems with parents and classmates. This was when my friends and I tasted vodka for the first time. No one seemed to understand me in this world (I thought), so I read Washington Irving novels and listened to The Cure.
"I felt a real need to find myself so I entered the directing department of the Moscow school of New Cinema. I learnt more than just information at the school – I was taught to really see the world. At the same time electronic music fascinated me completely, it was the same depth that I was looking for.
"Around the same time, a small circle of friends formed around a mutual interest in music, with whom we always went to concerts of mostly international artists: Inga Copeland, DJ Spin and DJ Rashad, Legowelt, Death Grips, Florian Kupfer, Dean Blunt etc.
"It was not long until we organised the community and DIY record label known as John's Kingdom. No one else was doing anything that fit our aesthetic or ideals so we started throwing our own parties. There were only around 30 people at the first party and after only a year we were already attracting 500 people. It's not only about music; it's also a channel for art, videos and lifestyle. The community continues to expand and grow. Now it is the most alive and honest thing in Moscow.
"Things didn't pan out for me with big cinema, however I continued my love of films via music videos. The summer of 2013 was a critical moment in my life – the time I wrote my first track. I have been writing songs without stopping since then.
"My music is strongly inspired by Autechre, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, but also Mazzy Star. I admire contemporaries Inga Copeland and Laurel Halo, however my songs are more pop-leaning than theirs because of the powerful influence MTV had on my adolescence.
"The sinister synths in Sgoraet (English: Burning Down) are inspired by the otherworldliness of Russian winter; Russia in winter is a terrible thing, but it also has a strange romantic presence to it. The drum and bass coda emulates the feeling of impending death and transition to another state when winter is over one's shoulder. Razrushitelniy Krug's (English: Cyclic Destruction) mood is a little lighter, but it is about self-reflection becoming self-destructive in a vicious cycle.
Named after the quarterback in little-known US TV series Blue Mountain State, the Alex Moran EP is AJ Tracey's most confident statement to date. The Ladbroke Grove grime MC has included heavy-hitting 'Spirit Bomb' and similarly direct, Narcos-referencing 'Naila' alongside lighter and free moments like 'Bare Girls'. The latter features and was produced by the also soaring Jammz and shows further evidence of Tracey's ability to switch up his style with ease. He's yet to settle into one stylistic lane so this EP is a snapshot of a confident artist trying whatever he fancies, and more often than not, nailing it.
It might have taken a while to arrive (Tracey admits he works slowly) but on this form, it was worth the wait.

silk industry
E. S. Ramanath specialised in sericulture and ericulture. In 1933, the Government of the Princely State of Mysore sent him to Japan to study the rearing of silk worms. He sailed in Tango Maru from Colombo in Sri Lanka to Tokyo - a journey of nearly a month. He worked primarily in Yokohama, Kyoto, and Nagasaki. Upon his return in 1935, he worked in Mysore State, where he was in charge of silk farms in in Kolar, Channapatna, Sidlaghatta, and Kunigal during different periods. The Government of the British-ruled Bombay Province availed of his expertise in the the rearing of silkworms, and funded a study, which is presented in the book below. E. S. Ramanath passed away in February, 1943, before he could truly see the fruits of his labour in the nascent silk industry in Bombay and Mysore States.
E. R. Ramachandran writes:
My father, Mr. E.S. Ramanath had written a book in 1940, 74 years ago on sericulture Industry in Province of Bombay. None of his children knew of the existence of this book. My eldest brother, Balu, now 89 years old, who lives with his daughter in the U.S., learnt to use a computer recently. By chance, he stumbled on the existence of this book on Google in October 2014. We tried to find a copy of the book all over India, but failed. Finally, we approached the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. They had a copy! The lady there was kind enough to send a scanned copy. She also said there may be another copy in University of California, Davis. My niece's husband Dr. Raju Pande is a professor of Computer Science at Davis. He found a copy of the book in their library.
It was nothing short of a miracle! A book written 74 years ago by my father, of which we had no idea, was found in a library just five minute away from the current home my brother Balu, who had found about existence of such a book just a couple of months back!

Souled, new album by the Italian artist Cortez out on February 25
Three new videos are already available on his YouTube channel to promote Cortez's new album, out on February 25th and totally self-produced. The album, which contains 15 songs written, played and arranged by the Italian artist himself, confirms the soul and funky disco breakthrough of the album "Come to Poppa" released just a few months ago.
Covid 19 has stopped many activities but not the creativity of the Italian artist, who has produced 4 albums, all in the last year. "Souled" is a hymn to joy, in a sad moment like the one we are now experiencing.
It is not a paradox, according to Cortez, but the need to find strength and will to live, even if still with many life limitations. "Souled" has the particularity of having been played entirely by Cortez: rhythms, horn sections and programming that make the new work a contemporary revival of soul and disco music, with a hint of funk and rhythm and blues.
An album full of rhythm and passion that must be listened all in one breath, as if it were an old soul vinyl. Cortez's "Souled" is one of that kind. In the vocal landscape that makes all singers uniform, often helped by Autotune, Cortez sings with a powerful and versatile voice, recalling artists from a glorious past.
Songs like "Moonlight over the City", "From the Cradle to the Grave", "Hit Me Up" and "We Can Carry On" are so full of rhythm, from funk to Caribbean rhythms that those who listen can hardly hold back from dancing.
A young album but with a respectable musical background, which will also appeal to middle-aged music lovers. Many artists imitate each other to ride fashions. This album anticipates fashions in its originality, which draws from the vinyl grooves of the 70s and 80s. Wurlitzer A200 and clavinet, sections of trumpets and trombones mixed with hip hop rhythms, which make "Souled" a must have for this 2021.
The album, released on February 25, 2021, will be on presale from January 21 on Amazon, Apple Music, iTunes with the immediately available song "Struggling to the Bone". All information and updates, videos and social links on the official Cortez website officialcortez.net.
A home album? Yes, because Cortez made it totally in his home recording studio, the ByMyself Studio under the supervision of his daughter, Anna, only 3 years old.
"I only chose the songs she liked when I performed them - Cortez closes - If he sang or danced to them after the first listen then, I thought, it means that I hit the mark, right?"
And you know, children never lie.

Roma, via Capo Spartivento 13

Surgical Associates of Richmond is celebrating 100 years of surgical heritage!
Surgical Associates dates its heritage to 1909 when the two former Chairmen of Surgery at the Medical College of Virginia, Dr. George Ben Johnston and Dr. A. Murat Willis, founded the original Johnston-Willis Hospital at the corner of Sixth and Franklin Streets. Fifteen years later in 1924, that hospital moved to 2900 Kensington Avenue where it continued to serve Richmond for over fifty-five years.
Dr. Frank S. Johns, who succeeded Dr. Willis as Chief of Surgery, was later joined in surgical practice by Dr. Donald S. Daniel and Dr. William Allen Johns. The successor surgical partnership in the 1960's included Dr. Frank Johns' son, Dr. Thomas N.P. Johns, Dr. James A. Selph, Dr. B. Noland Carter, Dr. E. Armistead Talman, Dr. Jaquelin M. Harrison and Dr. Henry P. Royster. In 1970 this group of surgeons incorporated under the name of Surgical Associates of Richmond, Inc. Dr. Campbell G. Stalker joined Surgical Associates of Richmond in 1975. Since the mid 1980's the practice has expanded to include 15 surgeons who specialize in general and vascular as well as surgical oncology. This continued growth contributes up-to-date training to compliment Surgical Associates' well-established tradition of experience.
In 1972, Chippenham Medical Center opened as the first general hospital south of the James River; and in 1980, Johnston-Willis hospital relocated from Kensington Avenue to its present Chesterfield County facility. Since the inception of these two hospitals, Surgical Associates has maintained patient offices on these hospital campuses to meet its commitment to provide general and vascular surgical coverage for patients in southside Richmond.
In 2003, Surgical Associates, under the division name of VeinSolutions of Richmond, opened its office at 8700 Stony Point Parkway near Stony Point Fashion Park specializing in the comprehensive care of cosmetic and therapeutic venous problems. Click here to learn more.
In 2005, a 40,000 square foot medical office building was built on the campus of Johnston-Willis hospital. This building houses the offices of Surgical Associates as well as the John Tyler Community College Nursing Program.
In 2010, Surgical Associates continues its commitment to the southside community of Richmond with the recent construction of its new 10,000 square foot office in the Waterford Medical Center, near the campus of St. Francis Medical Center. Waterford Medical Center is located at 13460 Tredegar Parkway, Midlothian, VA 23112.

Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory
If a gay community leader began preaching "reparative therapy" how long would he or she remain a gay community leader? Interesting question.
It seems people choose their leaders because they agree with their own views - or because they feel these leaders have their best interests at heart. Clearly the above example illustrates my point. A gay leader preaching "ex-gay" dogma and "reparative therapy" clearly does not have the best interests of the gay community at heart - but the complete polar opposite. In fact, I would say this person would be ostracized from their community as a traitor - and with good reason.
Likewise, if a woman begins preaching on behalf of the patriarchy - against feminism - for me, all sorts of warning bells and alarms go off.
Hmm. Parrot indeed.
Such a question arose when I saw the following material, quoted from the blog "Feministing - Thousands in Mali protest equal rights marriage law."
"This is pretty distressing:
Tens of thousands of people in Mali's capital, Bamako, have been protesting against a new law which gives women equal rights in marriage. The law, passed earlier this month, also strengthens inheritance rights for women and children born out of wedlock."
Also included is this quote from Hadja Sapiato Dembele of the National Union of Muslim Women's Associations: "A man must protect his wife, a wife must obey her husband...It's a tiny minority of women here that wants this new law - the intellectuals. The poor and illiterate women of this country - the real Muslims - are against it."
My, my - it seems some people are really afraid of women being equal to men in the eyes of the law. I wonder why?
On closer inspection of this matter, a few things stand out to me.
1) A woman - a female leader - is protesting against the victory - no doubt hard won - by her sex or gender in the courts of her oppressive country. She is therefore against equal rights for women - including presumably, herself. (I wonder what her husband has to say about that?)
2) She touts the archaic view that men must protect women and that women must obey men, effectively turning women into a commodity with no free will, and perpetuating the backward notion that women are nothing more than property or talking blow-up dolls which is all the rage in idiot countries such as Iran and Iraq, Afghanistan etc where women are even murdered for daring to choose their own marriage partners - and defying the will of those supposed to love and protect them. (Unsurprisingly there is a similar belief in Christian fundy circles.) In effect, submitting and obeying - and protecting - also includes the right to say whether or not a woman has any right to life.
3) She blames this victory on a "tiny minority" of - in her own words - "intellectuals". This surely means that the rest of the female population of her country are an incapable flock of idiot sheep to be willingly led to the slaughter - and that she is only too willing to play Little Bo-Peep.
4) She then goes further to call the poor illiterate women REAL Muslims - logically because they are against this new liberating law. By this logic, education and being intelligent are therefore disqualifying factors for being "real Muslims". In short, such a revealing remark does little more than confirm my opinion that it takes pretty stupid people to believe and blindly accept everything they are told just because it is wrapped in "scripture" and blind faith - or tradition. And of course "religion says" - and because "religion says", we must all obey.
We are told that religion says: "God gave us brains" - and then they also quickly add: " - but God doesn't want us to use them". Ridiculous.
5) Tens of thousands of people protested with her against their new-found legal equality. Tens of thousands. Now that's a lot. Aside from the obvious, I have to wonder if these tens of thousands were men or women. Obviously the majority of men in that country would have something to moan about - their slaves are about to acquire some domestic rights and legal protection. Damn - not even allowed to beat her no more... Tens of thousands. That's more even than the mobs demanding the end of marriage equality in States across the USA. More than the mobs marching to protest the same thing here in the whole of South Africa.
So not only do these poor and illiterate women have to contend with the patriarchy - they now have to contend with this sort of narrow-minded female anti-feminist agreement with it. I have little choice to conclude that this woman is one of them, because of her illogical statements and self-oppressive tendencies.
I can understand such backward patriarchal reasoning coming from a male, but from a woman - and of all people, a leader of women? It says something profound about leadership - and, if anything - what it says about followers is not very flattering at all.
I have to question the motives of this woman - who reportedly leads masses of women - not out of a land of slavery and servitude and disenfranchisement - but who waylays them on the road to progress and liberty, and somehow convinces them that it is "wrong" to be equal to men and that they should turn around and skulk back to their masters with their tails tucked between their legs. Hmm. Some leader.
I wonder how she keeps her following? Look at it this way - if a gay community leader started preaching "reparitive therapy", he wouldn't be entertained for very long, would he? People would definitely question his motives - or probably tar and feather him in pink - so why do these women not question hers? Oh, wait - I remember - they are not intellectuals. But it seems this woman is leading other women whom she is helping to subjugate to the will of men, in effect, leading them into submission and slavery - and they clearly love her for it. Something is wrong with this picture. Way wrong.
Distressing? I agree.
I think it takes a special kind of stupid to love your oppressor and to want to be oppressed - especially when you have just been handed the keys to your freedom and equality. The doctors at the loony bin have a term for that special kind of stupid - it's called masochism - and that is still in the DSM.

At least not from damaging UV-A light.
Few cars offer a high level of sun protection from side windows.
Skin cancers and eye cataracts appear with increased frequency on patients' left sides. One doctor suspected a reason. Dr. Brian Boxer of the Boxer Wachler Vision Institute in Beverly Hills did the research. His findings were published last week, online, in JAMA Ophthalmology.
While windshield windows tended to offer good protection against UV-A, protection was lower and inconsistent for the side windows of cars, the study findings showed. The study found front windshields blocked an average of 96 percent of UV-A rays, compared to 71 percent for side windows.
Why would this be the case? Windshields are more protective than car door windows because they must be made of laminated glass to prevent shattering, writes Dr. Jayne Weiss in a commentary published with the study. Car door windows, however, are usually just tempered glass." It is the sheet of plastic laminate in the windshield that offers protection. Unfortunately, glass that is just tempered, even if tinted, doesn't do the same.
"For the eyes, your best bet is to get sunglasses that block UV-A and UV-B light and wrap around the face," said Dr. Weiss, who directs the Louisiana State University Eye Center of Excellence in New Orleans.
Obviously, and unfortunately, long sleeves and sunscreen are needed while driving even if you are behind closed doors in the car with the side windows up. Hopefully, manufacturers will begin to address this problem with greater frequency.

How To Fill A Giant Christmas Stocking?
Categories: Holidays & Celebrations, Tidbits
The Guinness Book of World Records claims that the world's largest Christmas stocking was created in Cararra, Italy on January 5, 2011. It measured 168' 5-21/32" (51.35 m) long and 70' 11-9/16" (21.63 m) heel to toe. It was created to raise money for the elderly and, since the stocking had to be filled with presents, they filled it with balloons that contained sweets.
But, I think Guinness may have gotten it wrong. I came across a series of articles that appeared in newspapers in December 1965. Basically, WDGY, a Minneapolis, Minnesota radio station, held a contest to fill the largest stocking it received with prizes.
One needs to be careful of what one wishes for. Three college students from St. Paul – Phil Cunnien, Ron Mondo, and John Hintzen – submitted a stocking that measured 840 feet (256 m) in length. The three invested $150 ($1,250 today) into the project and spent an estimated 300 hours sewing the fabric together.
The first problem that the radio station had was finding a simple way to measure the stocking. Program Director Scott Burton came up with the ingenious idea of having a helicopter lift the stocking up and place it beside the station's radio tower, which was of known height.
Next, they needed to find a way to fill such a large stocking without breaking the bank. Like the supposed record-holders in Italy, they opted to fill the stocking with balloons. But, instead of placing candy inside of each balloon, the station placed a $1.00 bill inside of each. That would guarantee the winners of at least $500 ($4,170 today) in total.
Yet, that wasn't the end of the story. Ten students from Macalester College won the second prize, which was a "cheap transistor radio of foreign make," a coupon for ten hamburgers, six promotional phonograph records, a carton of soft drinks, and five coupons for two quarts of "Beep for Breakfast," which was a once-marketed vitamin-enriched breakfast drink.
The Macalester students claimed that they had won the contest because their stocking had a much larger volume than the one that was declared the winner. They claimed their stocking could hold 7,500 of the dollar-filled balloons. Their argument was that there was a big difference between the largest, which the contest specified, and the longest, which the winning stocking was, even though it was much smaller in volume.
So, they hired a lawyer and sued the radio station. They requested the $7,500 that all of those balloons would have held in cash plus an additional $5,000 for the embarrassment that they suffered in their loss.
I was unable to find out how this lawsuit was settled, but my guess is that the students and the radio station came to some sort of a financial agreement.
Which leaves us with one big question: Was that stocking in Cararra, Italy really the largest? You've just heard the evidence and I'll leave that for you to decide.

Solicitors in Brixton, London
Solicitors in Atlantic Road, London
Children, Parents and the Law
In years gone by, it was very common for busy parents to rely on older children to participate in running the home and keeping an eye on the younger ones.
Some of us even had regular household chores that we were responsible for.
In many other countries, both in Europe and further afield, this is still the norm.
However, here in the UK, society's attitude to children has changed significantly as a result of laws such as the Children Act 1989 and our improved understanding of children's emotional, psychological and developmental needs.
Effective parenting is becoming more and more of a challenge, particularly when work pressures, illness and family breakdown can mean that we have less time available for active supervision.
To help us in our decision-making in relation to child safety, I thought it might be useful to look at the legal guidance in relation to some common situations:
Can I leave my child home alone?
That depends. All children are different. But, according to the NSPCC, babies and toddlers should never be left alone and most children under 12 should not be left home alone for long periods.
You might also be surprised to learn that the NSPCC also advises against leaving children aged less than 16 home alone overnight.
The main concern relates to a child's maturity, which will determine their ability to deal with an emergency. Most children under 12 would lack the experience and maturity but, clearly, there are others who would not.
It is therefore for parents to make that judgement call, bearing in mind that it is a criminal offence to leave a child alone if it places them at risk.
Can my oldest child babysit his younger sibling?
Again, that depends. But the guidance says that no child under 16 should be left in charge of younger children and, legally speaking, the parents will still be responsible for the safety and well-being of the child.
Can my child drink alcohol at home?
We know that, in most cases, children cannot drink in public. But, strangely, provided that the child is over the age of five, there is no prohibition against children being given alcohol to drink at home or on other private premises.
However, should your children come to any harm as a result, I very much doubt that "but it's legal" would be a helpful defence.
Allowing a child under five years old to drink alcohol is a very serious offence likely to lead to the involvement of social services as well as a criminal prosecution.
Can I drink alcohol while looking after my child?
The law says that you can drink alcohol but you cannot be drunk in charge of a child under seven years old in public. If you do so, you risk a fine and up to one month in prison.
Can my child get a job?
In the UK, a child can work part-time from the age of 13. (There are special exemptions for actors, musicians etc., who can work when they are younger).
However, there are very strict rules about working hours and conditions. For example, children cannot work for more than four hours without a one-hour break, they cannot work before 7am or after 7pm and they cannot work during school hours.
In Lambeth, any employer wishing to recruit a child needs to apply to the council for a work permit.
Finally, as it's that time of year and one of my personal bugbears:
Can my child buy fireworks?
No! You have to be over 18 to buy fireworks in the UK and that includes sparklers.
It is also illegal to set them off between 11pm and 7am or to throw them in public.
The maximum fine is £5,000 or up to six months in prison so, as a responsible parent, it is a good idea to make children aware before they fall foul of the law.

Jaron Ennis On Dulorme Fight: I'm Not Stanionis; Whole Different Animal; Not A One-Trick Pony
LAS VEGAS – Jaron Ennis didn't watch a whole lot of the Eimantas Stanionis-Thomas Dulorme fight the night of April 10.
Ennis was busy warming up for the main event that night, his sixth-round knockout of Sergey Lipinets. Philadelphia's Ennis hasn't reviewed film of Stanionis' closely contested, 12-round victory over Lipinets, either, because his father/trainer, Derrick "Bozy" Ennis, studies footage for the team to help prepare his son for fights.
The 24-year-old Ennis still has seen more than enough of Stanionis and Dulorme to know Dulorme should realize that theirs will be a much more difficult fight for him Saturday night than his loss to Lithuania's Stanionis 6½ months ago at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Showtime will air the 10-round bout between the heavily favored Ennis (27-0, 25 KOs, 1 NC) and Dulorme (25-5-1, 16 KOs), a Las Vegas resident raised in Puerto Rico, as the co-feature of a tripleheader from Mandalay Bay's Michelob ULTRA Arena (10 p.m. EDT; 7 p.m. PDT).
"I wasn't really watching the [Stanionis-Dulorme] fight," Ennis told BoxingScene.com. "I was already locked in, getting ready for my fight. But some of the parts I did see, [Dulorme] was doing good with [Stanionis]. But I'm not Stanionis. I'm a whole different animal. I'm not a one-trick pony. I'm well-rounded at everything that I do."
That said, Dulorme's losses have mostly come against top opponents.
Three-division champion Terence Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs), who owns the WBO welterweight crown, stopped Dulorme in the sixth round of their WBO junior welterweight title fight in April 2015. Yordenis Ugas (27-4, 12 KOs), the WBA "super" welterweight champ fresh off his upset of Manny Pacquiao, out-pointed Dulorme in a 10-rounder in August 2017.
Dulorme since has suffered back-to-back, 12-round, unanimous-decision losses to WBA world welterweight champ Jamal James (27-1, 12 KOs) and Stanionis (13-0, 9 KOs), who is the WBA's number one contender in the 147-pound division.
"I know he's fought a lot of top guys, so it's gonna be a great win on my resume," Ennis said of Dulorme. "He been in the ring with a lot of people, so you could say that."
James, a Minneapolis native, will defend his WBA belt against Russian contender Radzhab Butaev (13-0, 10 KOs, 1 NC) in the 12-round main event Saturday night. In the 10-round opener of this three-bout telecast, Dominican lightweight contender Michel Rivera (21-0, 14 KOs) will square off against Argentina's Jose Matias Romero (24-1, 8 KOs).

FURY to USYK "If Contract Not Signed Soon WE'RE MOVING ON!"
Predictions: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde


As a Kairos volunteer on death row at Chillicothe, I have seen amazing examples of God's ability — and willingness — to redeem anyone. How incredible is it that I go there every week to be with Christ on what the residents call "Life Row." Those beautiful new creatures in Christ are a beacon both within and without the walls. We serve an awesome God.


I didn't start to grow long hair until I was in my 50's and I had a bit of envy everytime I spotted a longhair. But I started and now I am one.
Just remember, every one of those longhairs you see was exactly in your shoes when they started out.
Growing ones hair out is a lesson in patience.
: Hey guys.. Avi here again. I'm having a bit of a psychological issue with my hair I guess.
: My goal is to grow my hair to my hip, but I've always had very restrictive parents and so I was never able to pursue that dream although I've wanted to do it all my life. In March 2018 I finally was able to convince them and I began growing my hair out. Its around my shoulders now, its still pretty short as its only been a year.
: My issue comes from whenever I see people with waist length hair. I run into people with waist length hair either online or in real life, and I always feel really low when I see them. Its been my dream to have hair like theirs since I was a kid, yet I was never able to pursue it, and I wasted so much time not growing it out. If I had started growing it out when I wanted to, I definitely would be at my hip now. it just makes me feel so bad, and I feel so low esteem about my hair since its so short and only at my shoulder, and they all have such long hair. I know it seems super petty and trivial, but i really do feel significantly bad and low inside whenever I see very long haired people. :( Nothing against them obviously, they just make me feel like a failure I guess. its gonna be years before I reach that goal...how do I cope till then?


I started as a sculptor and painter. Twice I drew a short comic book.

Get them on Amazon for $13.99+ (available in twin-Cal king, including twin XL).

Also be forewarned, if you have any direwolves they will immediately take over Jon Snow and he will no longer belong to you. My little direwolf did this the first day I got Jon Snow. I'm considering ordering a second one just for myself now.

Get them on Amazon for $40.99+ (available in twin, full, queen, and king).
11. An elegant and traditional-ish cotton quilt set designed to last (and be washable!) for many years.

I've owned this type of Laura Ashley covering in the past and they hold up for *years*. These 100% cotton covers are workhorses! I wash mine monthly in a household machine. They just get better with age. Yes, you'll have some fading. It's cotton. But the quilting is so closely done that there is NO batting shift or clumps.

Neither can the cat, apparently; it was out of the package for all of two and a half seconds before his eyes got big and he was pressing himself into it, aiming for maximum surface area contact, curling his toes up and everything. I thought he was going to pass out from the rapture. Honestly, I can't imagine a better testimonial than that." —M.
15. A set of two machine-washable fiber-fill pillows that let you add or remove stuffing to fine-tune the firmness you prefer.
That said, if you want *firmer* pillows than these, they don't come with any extra stuffing.
Get them on Amazon for $39.99.
16. A two-inch memory foam mattress topper — it's the easiest way to upgrade a bed that's too firm so you can actually get a decent night's sleep.

For once, the expansion of the Atlantic League doesn't appear clouded with questions about its current stable of teams.
Blogger's note: Portions of the following article appeared at inyork.com and the Daily Record/Sunday News.
For once, the expansion of the Atlantic League doesn't appear clouded with questions about its current stable of teams. Asked if all eight teams are on solid ground and expected to return to play in 2010, league executive director Joe Klein responded: "Of course."
The Loudon County (Va.) Board of Supervisors passed zoning changes by a 6-2 margin Tuesday to allow the construction of a baseball stadium. The plan had some support from the public. An Atlantic League expansion franchise is expected to take the field there in 2011. If the Northern Virginia franchise begins play when expected, Klein assumes the league will bring back the Road Warriors. The league needs an even number of teams for scheduling purposes, so suddenly the Atlantic League could be looking at a 10-team setup in two seasons.
"My understanding of the situation ... there needs to be two votes to make this deal fully happen," said Peter Kirk, the Revs owner and one of the Board of Advisors in the Loudon County project. "The first vote was today and I'm told this was a really significant one. It was to grant a special exception to allow a baseball stadium at this particular site. That was a big vote. There will be a second vote in September that will detail a 400-acre development.
"But I've been told even if the second vote runs into obstacles, the baseball stadium can move forward."
The last few years have featured mixed signals on the league's future. So it came as good news a new franchise is on the verge of building a stadium, and the current franchises appear on solid footing.
"You're always going to have teams that make less money, but that happens in the major leagues too," Klein said. "The new ownership in Bridgeport has stabilized that organization, and it's on its way back up -- not only in attendance but I think Frank (Boulton) is very happy where things are going.
"Our new group in Newark did a great job in hosting the All-Star Game this year. They also sold a number of luxury suites, and last year I think that number was zero. It's a work in progress there, but I think they're satisfied where they are."
Franchises like Lancaster and York joined the league with strong showings in attendance, but some of the league's founding members appeared on the verge of collapse.
The Nashua Pride left after the 2005 season.
The Atlantic City Surf left after the 2006 season.
The Bridgeport Bluefish needed to be saved by league CEO Frank Boulton in the offseason, and the Newark Bears filed for bankruptcy before a new ownership group bought the franchise.
"The league has probably never been healthier," said York Revolution general manager Matt O'Brien, who also worked in the Somerset Patriots' and Long Island Ducks' front office during his career. "The ownership groups all appear strong and well funded."
Kirk added: "It's part of the natural growth of things. I remember when the Eastern League dwindled down to six clubs in the early 80s. These things tend to come and go with the economics. But today there's a real effort for teams to help each other. Nobody's going to let teams breaks leases and go out of businesses."
And on the surface it appears Loudon County is ahead of schedule. Demolition on the site for York's Sovereign Bank Stadium continued through September. But Kirk, who along with Brooks Robinson has served as advisors for the project, points out the Loudon County ballpark will need substantial construction on the surrounding infrastructure which crews in York and Lancaster did not have to worry about.
"We have a lot of work to do until (2011)," Klein said, "but it will be interesting to see whether it's a Lancaster situation -- where everything is basically done -- or a York situation -- where ... they don't get it done (on schedule)."
The Revolution remain a middle-of-the league draw this season. Average attendance trails last years complete-season average of 4,351. York has averaged 4,026 fans in its first 40 open dates of the season, and it ranks fourth in the eight-team league. But the front office staff is attempting to sell tickets for the leagues worst team. York went 24-46 and at one stretch this summer recorded a winning percentage that ranked among the 10 worst in professional baseball.
"I'm still a believer that as long as your team is in the middle you win, you lose you'll be fine," O'Brien said. "And if you win a ton, it helps. I'm not going to say (the Revs record) helped. Its a heck of a lot easier to have fun and entertain fans with a winner."
But O'Brien believes the difference in attendance between Year 2 and Year 3 can be made up easily, perhaps with a few large crowds in the second half.
For instance, the Revs pregame ticket sales for Saturday is about 4,500, O'Brien said. And an Aug. 15 game, featuring a Diaper Derby promotion, has already resulted in the sale of close to 5,000 tickets. Add in a near-sellout crowd expected for the Revs home finale Sept. 16, and the Revs could come near or surpass last seasons total. But that might not be an easy task if the Revs continue to struggle to stay competitive.
