How can I become a prison ministry volunteer?
Why can only men serve on the Inside Team at Darrington?
The inside team refers to the volunteers that go inside the unit to deliver the weekend program. It is a Kairos rule that inside teams match the gender of the prison being served. For Darrington a men's prison, the inside volunteers are male. For the outside support team participation by all is gratefully accepted. All may attend the Closing on Sunday afternoons.
What is involved in volunteering for an Outside Support Team?
The Outside Support Team prepares all of the meals for the 3-day Weekends for the 42 participants and the inside team members, who eat all of their meals within the prison. The team works out of Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Sante Fe, TX, with volunteers delivering the meals to the prison. The support team also prepares the cookies, the Agape (Prayer chains, placemats, posters, meal tickets, and letters) which have been donated for the weekend. Each team member will be assigned to a team, such as the Agape Team or the Cookie Team.
What else is required of a volunteer?
It is important that all of the volunteers for both the Inside Team & Outside Support Team attend the team training meetings as preparation for the weekends. Within these meetings important information is provided, such as individual work assignments, guidelines for volunteering within the Darrington unit, practical tips, as well as team members getting to know each other as fellow Christians.

Knights Turn to Redshirt Freshman Darriel Mack Jr. as UCF Readies For AAC Title Game
By Alan Zlotorzynski, Senior Editor // November 26, 2018
UCF has won 12 straight games over Memphis
ABOVE VIDEO: Darriel Mack Jr. stepped in for Heisman Trophy hopeful McKenzie Milton who suffered a serious knee injury Friday against South Florida at Raymond James Stadium. The Knights won 38-10.
ORLANDO, FLORIDA– The family of UCF star quarterback McKenzie Milton released a statement Saturday night following his serious knee injury on Friday and subsequent surgery on Saturday.
The statement was tweeted out by the UCF Football team which thanked Knights fans for their prayers and support. The statement went on to say that Milton's surgery was successful and he is recovering well.
The gruesome injury occurred Friday against South Florida at Raymond James Stadium in the annual rivalry game known as "The War on I-4," a game the Knights won 38-10.
The win was the Knights' 24th straight, setting up a rematch of last year's thrilling American Athletic Conference Championship game against the Memphis Tigers.
The teams combined for nearly 1,500 yards of offense with UCF contributing 726 of them.
Starting at QB, McKenzie Milton accounted for 77 percent of the Knights offense, as he passed for 494 yards and five touchdowns. Milton rushed for another 68-yards and added a rushing score.
This year, Milton has 2,663 passing yards with 25 touchdowns and he has 307 more on the ground with nine rushing scores. Those numbers account for 51 percent of the Knights yards and 56 percent of their touchdowns.
ABOVE VIDEO: Last year, the 12th-ranked Knights captured the American Athletic Conference championship as they defeated No. 16 Memphis 62-55 in double overtime. It was the Knights' third American crown in the past five years.
Aside from Milton's health and without sounding insensitive to the current situation, the AAC Championship game is slated to be played on Saturday and Knights fans have two big questions.
How will UCF replace Milton's numbers and do the Knights still have a remote chance to make the College Football Playoffs?
Let's be clear here, the Knights were a longshot to get into the playoff with Milton, so how they play against Memphis on Saturday will determine their fate. With that in mind, the Knights are likely playing for a shot at a New Years Six Bowl Game, not the College Football Playoff.
The Knights placement at No. 9 in the rankings released last Tuesday was the highest spot by a team outside of the traditional Power 5 conferences in the history of the CFP.
However, Bill Hancock, Executive Director of the playoff committee said on ESPN Saturday that Milton's injury will be considered.
"First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers are with McKenzie Milton and his family," Hancock told ESPN.
"I do understand that some people want to talk football tonight. So pivoting to that, the committee does consider injuries that may have affected a team's performance during the season. Obviously, UCF continued to play well after McKenzie left the ballgame. The committee also does not project what might happen next week. They only evaluate what has happened to this point in the season."
Long answer short, win Saturday and the Knights are back in a New Years Six Bowl although they aren't nearly as attractive to bowl committees without Milton.
Last week's CFP rankings. Michigan's loss will drop theWolverines out of the don't4 but don't expect UCF to occupy a spot higher than No. 8 when the new CFP rankings are released Tuesday night.
Ironically, thanks to a good season by another Sunshine State school and if the Knights win on Saturday a very attractive matchup could be on the horizon.
The potential of seeing UCF take on the Florida Gators in either Atlanta, in the Peach Bowl, or in Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl, overshadows a Knights team without a potential Heisman candidate in Milton and one that plays in the Group of 5 instead of the Power 5.
The Gators pounded a down-and-out Florida State team 41-14 on Saturday allowing UF to finish 9-3 and become a likely SEC representative in a New Years Six Bowl Game.
The Gators and Knights have met twice with Florida winning both times in Gainesville. UF won 42-0 in 2006 and 58-27 in 1999.
As for replacing Milton, we got a glimpse of perhaps how UCF may try to do that after their junior quarterback was injured on Friday.
The Knights will lean heavily on their experienced offensive line to wear down opposing front sevens and open holes as they did for senior running back Greg McCrae on Friday who rushed for 181-yards and three touchdowns in the win.
Under center, it will be redshirt freshman quarterback Darriel Mack Jr.
At 6-foot-3 and 230-pounds, Mack is bigger than Milton (5-11, 185 pounds) and he is a dual-threat quarterback that can be electrifying when he takes off with the football.
In UCF's season-opening win over UConn, Mack had one carry, a 70-yard touchdown run.
Mack was 5-for-14 and 81 passing yards against USF on Friday and he also ran for 51 yards.
Most of Mack's appearances came in relief of Milton after UCF had games well in hand, but he did start the 37-10 win over East Carolina. In that contest, Mack passed for just 69 yards but he ran for 120 yards and a touchdown.
ABOVE VIDEO: The top 6 plays in the 38-10 win over USF in the War-On-I4.
If Saturday's game against Memphis is anything like last season's contest Mack will need to put up a lot of yards for the Knights.
Memphis rallied from double digits twice before leading 31-24 at halftime. Behind Milton, the Knights fought back to win 62-55 in overtime. Memphis knows that this could be their best shot to win in Orlando and beat UCF for the first time since 1990.
The Tigers have dropped 12 straight to the Knights and are winless in six trips to Orlando.
Back in October, Memphis nearly ended the Knights winning streak as they led UCF 17-7 after the first quarter and 30-17 at halftime.
However, defensive coordinator Randy Shannon's defense didn't allow another point the rest of the game as UCF outscored Memphis 14-0 in the second half for a 31-30 win.
The title game is set for Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET at Spectrum Stadium with TV coverage on ABC.

The content that you use inside your sales funnel must focus on these different phases of a sales funnel. Here are a few content ideas that you can use inside your sales funnel to ensure that your leads convert!
At the top of the sales funnel, your goal is to nudge the audience toward conversion. This is the discovery phase. You cannot nudge your visitors by talking about your own business. Instead, you must figure out what your audience is interested in and then provide them that. You must offer educational content to your audience during this phase. The content that you should use during the top stage of the sales funnel includes webinars, blog posts, videos and comprehensive guides.
The middle of the sales funnel can be called the consideration phase. During this phase, consumers will associate you with solutions that you offer. This is the stage where you must provide content that offers solutions to problems faced by consumers. The people may not trust you just yet, so your content cannot be sales-focused at this stage.
The content that you should provide to customers in the consideration phase includes demo videos, case studies, how-to videos or content and product descriptions.
The bottom of the funnel is where you must make the final pitch to turn your visitors into customers. This is the conversion phase. At this point, you know that people are interested in your offer; you just have to convince them that you're worth it. This is where you should put on your sales hat. The content that you should use at this phase to make your potential customers pull the trigger includes reviews and testimonials of customers. In addition, you could also use content that highlights the unique value your products or services can offer to customers.
Once you have acquired the customers, you must keep them. This is what we call the retention phase. During the retention phase, your goal is to ensure that customers keep buying from you and don't forget about your business after just one transaction. The content that you can use to retain your customers includes special offers, discounted deals, help and customer support documentation and email follow-ups.
If you need more content ideas for your sales funnel or want an experienced agency to craft content for your sales funnel, contact Servme.

Republicans are in 'pocket' of zionist lobby: Rickard
Members of the Republican Party in the United States have expressed opposition to a recent nuclear framework agreement with Iran because they are in the "pocket" of the Israel lobby, says a former American intelligence linguist in Florida.
"Unfortunately in the United States, there is a very pro-Israel, very Zionist-focused initiative around the Republican Party," said Scott Rickard.
"The Republican Party senators, as well as even governors across the country are all speaking out against the [nuclear] agreement," Rickard told Press TV on Tuesday.
Iran and the P+1 group – the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany – reached a framework understanding in the Swiss city of Lausanne on April 2.
If a final deal is reached by a July 1 deadline, it would lift all international sanctions imposed against the Islamic Republic in exchange for certain steps Tehran will take with regard to its nuclear program.
On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized the framework agreement, saying it should not reduce "pressure" on the Islamic Republic.
"The administration needs to explain to the Congress and the American people why an interim agreement should result in reduced pressure on [Iran]," the Republican senator said in a statement.
He said that Iran is benefiting more from the deal than the P5+1 group because it was able to retain a number of centrifuges while having sanctions be removed against the country.
"Mitch McConnell has led the anti-agreement for some time," Rickard noted. "He's been in the pocket of pro-Israel, Zionist lobby his entire career; unfortunately the majority of the Republican Party is in the pocket of the Zionist, pro-Israel lobby."
The Israeli regime has voiced opposition since nuclear talks began between Tehran and the P5+1.
Israel has repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program with the regime repeatedly threatening to attack Iran's nuclear facilities based on the unsubstantiated allegation.

Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill of 2020: Balancing Interests
Leave a Comment	/ News & Updates / By Admin
This post is written by Parul Khurana
Surrogacy is a well-known method of reproduction whereby a woman agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of gestating and giving birth to a child, she will not raise but hand over to a contracted party. The practice of Surrogacy has been prevalent in India for the last few decades now and has been on a rise ever since it has been introduced. The process of surrogacy involves multiple parties and substantial consideration of their human rights. Therefore, it is imperative that the interests of every party must be balanced harmoniously to prevent any miscarriage of justice.
The provision of surrogacy, introduced as a scientific feat enabling couples to have a child of their own, is now being abused by many for their personal gain at the expense of the rights of surrogate mothers and surrogate children. There have been reported incidents of unethical practices in the process of surrogacy, death of surrogate mothers, exploitation of surrogate mothers, abandonment of children born out of surrogacy, import of human embryos and gametes. The reason such exploitation bloomed in India is regulatory ambiguity caused by the lack of proper legislation for surrogacy. Due to lack of a proper legislation on the matter, India has also emerged as a surrogacy hub globally and this scenario has given rise to various socio-ethical issues.
In an attempt to counter this widespread exploitation,
The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2019 was passed by the Lok Sabha on 5th August 2019, and then it was referred to The Select Committee, comprising of 23 Members of Rajya Sabha on a Motion adopted by the House on the 21st November 2019 for examination of the Bill and report thereon. The Select Committee prepared a report and drafted The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2020 which was subsequently approved by the Union Cabinet on 26th February 2020, according to a statement made by Union Minister, Mr. Prakash Javadekar in a press conference which now awaits the passing of the bill in Rajya Sabha before it receives presidential assent and serves its purpose. Some major features of the proposed legislation are:
Establishment of Regulatory Bodies: The bill proposes to regulate surrogacy by establishing National Surrogacy Board at the central level, the State Surrogacy Board at the state level and one or more appropriate authorities for each of the Union territories. The National Surrogacy Board has been entrusted with a wide range of functions and roles, with emphasis on (i) the advisory role of the board on policy matters relating to surrogacy, (ii) the supervisory role of the board over various bodies constituted under the bill and the State Surrogacy Boards, (iii) the administrative role of the board, entrusting it with the function to lay down the Code of a conduct to be observed by persons working at surrogacy clinics and to set the minimum standards of physical infrastructure, laboratory and diagnostic equipment and expert manpower to be employed by the surrogacy clinics.
Ban on commercial surrogacy: The Law Commission of India had recommended for prohibition of commercial Surrogacy by enacting a suitable legislation in its 228th Report. In pursuance of which, the new bill has duly introduced a statutory blanket ban on commercial surrogacy (defined u/s 2(f) of the 2020 bill) and permits only altruistic surrogacy in order to quash the booming industry of rent-a-womb and prevent exploitation of surrogate mothers. A ban on commercial surrogacy can also be construed to mean a ban on fashion surrogacy, where there is no medical necessity but a matter of convenience. Countries like Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, South Africa, etc. also follow the same.
Omission of the definition of infertility: The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill 2019 required at least one member of the intending couple to be suffering from 'proven infertility' in order for them to be eligible for the process of surrogacy. In the 2019 bill, infertility was defined as "the inability to conceive after five years of unprotected coitus or other proven medical condition preventing a couple from conception". The Select Committee, after a discussion on the issue, opined that five years is an unreasonably long waiting period for couples who wish to opt for surrogacy, particularly in certain medical conditions like absent or abnormal uterus, irreversible damage or destruction of uterus, removal of uterus due to cancer, fibroids, etc. or where it has been medically proven beyond any doubt that surrogacy is the only option left with the couple if they wish to have a child of their own. As a consequence, the definition of Infertility u/s 2(p) of The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill 2019 was omitted and Section 4(a) of the 2019 bill was amended to read "when an intending couple has a medical indication necessitating gestational surrogacy" as the condition precedent in the 2020 bill.
Widened ambit of the Act: The 2019 bill enabled only married Indian couples to opt for the process of surrogacy but the 2020 bill has widened the ambit of the legislation by also permitting an "intending woman" i.e. an Indian woman who is a widow or divorcee between the age of 35 to 45 years and who intends to avail the surrogacy, to opt for surrogacy. The ambit of a surrogate mother was also earlier restricted to a vague and undefined term "close relative" which potentially restricts the availability of surrogate mother and will cause difficulty to those in genuine need. Therefore, the section was amended to say "a willing woman" which further widens the ambit for the intending couples or intending woman to find a surrogate mother.
It is apparent prima facie that this new bill is well thought and has duly taken into consideration the best interests of every party, especially the long due interests of a surrogate mother. Under the 2020 bill, a surrogate mother has been vested with rights throughout the process of surrogacy, duties have been imposed on the "intending couple" or "intending woman", and stringent penal provisions have been provided to deter any potential violators. Moreover, regulatory bodies comprising of experts in fields of medicine, social sciences along with representatives of women welfare organizations and civil society for women's health and child issues have been assigned to ensure all the safeguards are actively implemented. It has been specifically provided that no woman shall act as a surrogate mother by providing her own gametes, that no woman shall act as a surrogate mother more than once in her lifetime, that a certificate of medical and psychological fitness for surrogacy and surrogacy procedures from a registered medical practitioner shall be mandatory for a surrogate mother and that no woman, other than an ever married woman having a child of her own and between the age of 25 to 35 years on the day of implantation, shall be a surrogate mother or help in surrogacy by donating her egg or acolyte. Under the 2020 bill, a surrogate mother is also entitled to an insurance coverage for a period of thirty-six months covering postpartum delivery complications which include medical expenses, health issues, specified loss, damage, illness or death of the surrogate mother and other prescribed expenses incurred on surrogate mother during the process of surrogacy.
In addition to the rights of the surrogate mother, the proposed legislation has given significant importance to the rights of a surrogate child, as earlier reflected by the Gujarat High Court in Jan Balaz v Anand Municipality. Under the proposed legislation, a child born out of surrogacy procedure shall be deemed to be a biological child of the "intending couple" or "intending woman" and the surrogate child shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges available to a natural child. There is also a prohibition on giving birth to a surrogate child for purposes of sale, prostitution, or any other form of exploitation or abandon or disown or exploit or cause to be abandoned, disowned or exploited in any form, the child or children born through surrogacy, exploit or cause to be exploited the surrogate mother or the child born through surrogacy in any manner and stringent penalties have been provided to deter potential violators.
In conclusion, the proposed legislation is a unique blend of social, moral, ethical, legal and scientific issues and is an effective attempt to harmonize the conflicting interests inherent in the process of surrogacy to ensure the betterment of child whilst also protecting the rights of the surrogate mother and the commissioning parents. This legislation will clear the legal ambiguity in the process of surrogacy and collateral issues like citizenship. The stringent penalties under the proposed legislation will act as a deterrent for potential violators and ensure that all the parties go through the process in a fair and reasonable manner. However, it would be prudent to pass Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Regulation Bill, 2020 before The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2020 is passed, as it would help in establishing a regulatory mechanism for ART clinics as a whole and in regulating processes like surrogacy and abortion in a better manner.

Media Agency of the Year 2018: Manning Gottlieb OMD
Scooping the government's £150m media buying account was the highlight in a "blinder of a year".
"It has had a blinder of a year," the judges said of Manning Gottlieb OMD's record-breaking 2018 as it won the UK government's £150m media buying account, defended the £45m Specsavers business and produced innovative work for clients.
Billings shot up 30% to £650m and profits rose 10% last year, driven "predominantly by value-added, fee-based services", the agency said. Headcount was up from 380 to 500.
This success marked the culmination of years of investment in internal talent and succession planning, as Manning Gottlieb OMD has groomed its management team. Tim Pearson, chief executive, and Paul Knight, chief operating officer, have both been at the agency for two decades and counting.
Manning Gottlieb OMD maintains that it is now Omnicom's biggest media agency in the UK, ahead of international networks OMD, PHD and Hearts & Science, and it can justly claim to have built a uniquely British culture, with a focus on media creativity and effectiveness.
Landing the UK government's account, the biggest success in Manning Gottlieb OMD's history since its foundation in 1990, was an appropriately patriotic win and the undoubted highlight of the year.
The Crown Commercial Service set tough standards on media transparency, and said quality of service, rather than pricing, would be key in this complex, competitive review, which encompassed more than 90 clients across government.
So its victory was a significant endorsement for Manning Gottlieb's approach. "We far exceeded the guidelines set by the ISBA 2.0 framework and the resultant structures and processes have set a new industry benchmark for all UK agencies and clients to strive for," the agency said.
Retaining Specsavers (pictured, above), one of its biggest clients, in a marathon pitch process that involved no fewer than 13 rival agencies, was another important test. Manning Gottlieb OMD was "absolutely exceptional", according to Chris Carter, Specsavers' commercial trading director.
Other retentions included the Financial Conduct Authority and, importantly, the agency grew organically by selling additional services, including social content, marketing technology and analytics to existing clients. Fees for work "unrelated" to media planning and buying rose 8%.
Manning Gottlieb OMD also produced a wide range of award-winning work, picking up more trophies than any other agency at the Media Week Awards 2018 and being named Warc's top media agency in Europe for effectiveness.
The integration of the John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners' Christmas campaigns brought a new level of media inventiveness, as Manning Gottlieb OMD "mashed up" the two sister brands in a speeded-up ITV ad break.
Pearson and his leadership team, which includes other bright, long-servers such as Natalie Bell, managing director, and Clare Peters, executive director, also raised the bar when it came to investing in people.
Its staff-retention rate was 82%, the gender pay gap was just 4.4% (although that figure, for parent company OMD Group UK, includes sister agency OMD) and the senior leadership was 62% female. The agency has 16% BAME representation.
Meanwhile, the agency's staff well-being programme, The Gym and Spa, won best learning and development strategy at HR Magazine's HR Excellence Awards 2018.
Manning Gottlieb OMD also proudly claims that 10% of its staff are "boomerangers" – people who have left the business but then returned at a later date.
Developing this distinctive culture has been impressive, considering the agency has had to share Omnicom's Bankside headquarters in London with a string of other agencies since the end of 2016.
The fact that Colin Gottlieb, co-founder of Manning Gottlieb, is EMEA chief executive of Omnicom Media Group has meant there has been a watchful eye looking out for his old agency. He and former partner Nick Manning should feel proud at how far their creation has come.
At a time when network media agencies are under scrutiny and financial pressure, Manning Gottlieb OMD stands out as a beacon of positive change and decency.
Goodstuff Communications
2018 was another good year for Goodstuff. It passed 100 staff and notched up £112m in billings. Wins included Groupon and Subaru but the judges were also struck by how the independent agency turned down a lot of pitches as part of its mantra of "be good, do good". Award-winning work included Hiscox's "The honeypot network" (pictured, above), an innovative use of data on out-of-home sites to illustrate cyber breaches. Goodstuff's co-founders, Andrew Stephens and Ben Hayes, kept up its reputation for giving back to the industry by staging its third media showcase for media owners to present ideas to creative agencies and by launching a £1m fund, Startstuff, to support agency start-ups.
Britain's biggest media agency had an excellent year when it retained Sky, the country's biggest advertiser, and Coca-Cola, expanded its Mars brief in the UK and helped to win Adidas and defend Shell globally. Revenue was up 5%. MediaCom also produced award-winning work, notably a Grand Prix for Tesco's "Food love stories" (pictured, above) at Cannes Lions, and it was ranked as the top media agency in the world in the Gunn Media 100 report. The judges were also impressed by UK chief executive Josh Krichefski's commitment to his staff, through the launch of Mental Health Allies, a team designed to support the health of employees. Employee churn was 17%. The judges described MediaCom's entry as "very compelling" and "brilliantly written" and it was a very close contender for agency of the year.
OMD UK
"What a comeback" was the judges' verdict, as the Omnicom agency fought back from a series of largely global account losses. Notable wins included Lidl's £70m planning business and Betway's £30m media account. OMD UK's chief executive, Dan Clays, also secured some valuable client retentions in closed-door renegotiations. OMD UK's board is 65% female and headcount has risen by a third to 389 – two further reassuring health indicators. Glowing client testimonials from McDonald's (pictured, above) and NSPCC underline how OMD UK has regained its place as one of the UK's best media agencies.
Simplicity was a winning formula for PHD in 2018 as it played a leading role in the global HSBC win and delivered for existing clients such as Sainsbury's (pictured, above). Three-quarters of PHD's clients have "paid for additional services" in the past year; its dynamic creative production team has enjoyed stellar growth and experiential has expanded strongly. The agency broke new ground by appointing joint heads of planning to look after brand and performance respectively in recognition of clients' changing needs. The judges praised the agency's gender pay gap of 2.56% as one of the lowest in the sector.
the7stars
The UK's biggest independent agency claims it became a top 10 agency by billings last year, winning £85m in new billings from clients such as Associated British Foods and Peperami (pictured, above). It also increased profits by 21%. Client retention, meanwhile, was 95%, and it was the best part of £200m ahead of the next biggest independent by billings. The7stars has put a lot of emphasis on transparency, and it was the only entrant that included its audited financial accounts as part of its submission for these awards.

Mission of Burma From the Road: Berlin & Vienna 2012
Wed., Dec.12:
Drive to Berlin from Vienna, through the Czech Republic, Alesh's home-country (incidentally, Alesh does a stunning Borat imitation). Totally snowy-white country-side.
For my part, down-time in the van allows me to correct string parts for my composition "Vines For Music" (for prepared piano, 2 'cellos and 2 violas). And to re-write the percussion part for "Music for 3 percussionists, 2 string trios and electric organ" so that percussionists can actually read the damn thing. Of course this was in the down time when my brain was working well, which admittedly, was not often in our sleep-deprived travels… Clint thought I was composing while listening to punk rock, but not really – this is mostly mechanical work.
Alesh does this kind of driving and road management for bands as part of his living. He has told us stories many crazy stories of being on the road w/bands. I said to him: "It must be weird because we're so normal." He said "With you guys it's like a vacation."
OK. 2 accidents on the road to Berlin, so it took 11 hours instead of 9 and we didn't arrive in time for soundcheck. Quick dinner, very fun opening band (Delta Love), and with just a line-check, everything was on "Go." Packed house, and I was thinking "Berlin – they'll probably be too cool to like us. FINALLY we'll have a bad gig…" Nope, not at all. Rippin' set. Bob said it was the best sound in the house on the entire tour (because we didn't have a sound-check?).
Which brings up how Burma works: At the last three gigs (Balogna, Zagreb, Vien) we were the only band playing and had a fine relaxing soundcheck. Every one of those shows had something odd to drag it back a bit. In Berlin (and also Zurich), we had no soundcheck, had to hurry on, and had no idea how people would react. And those were the best two gigs on the continent so far. I guess it fits our haphazard way of moving forward – the less we know, the less planning we do, the better things are. Wakt.
Thurs., Dec.13:
Eating breakfast in the pub where I went out last night w/Alesh and his friend Anka to have a couple Lagavulin 16′s and get my clothes drenched in cigarette smoke. No smoke now, excellent hi-quality breakfast ingredients. Mild reggae on the stereo. Could be a lot worse!
So we get to sight-see in Berlin. Go to the Brandenberg Gate which separated East and West Berlin. Bob and Pete and I were there in 1989 on that Euro-tour (V.Suns/NoMan), and it was a very different scene then, 3 weeks after the wall came down. It had been ecstatic partying and release. Now, crossing the Gate to the "eastern" side there was a guy in a Micky Mouse costume, a Darth Vadar costumed person, etc. Yipes. Was the Starbucks really a good thing?
Then we went to the Holocaust Memorial. Really amazing, simple, deep. (see photo). Finally, after odd circular drivings looking for a sweatshirt for Pete (his got melted on a stage light in Vien), we ended up at the Ramones Museum. At first we thought it was too silly to go there, but it was actually quite cool with artifacts galore.
Van listening driving half-way to Holland: Converge. Dillinger Escape Plan. This hyper-metal music is pretty interesting, but the vocals always sound like we are watching the Exorcist. Why haven't any of those bands tried a Dean Martin-style vocalist? That might make produce interesting result.
Hannover Vietnamese dinner was quite good, relaxing night off. Were not attacked by Fellini characters.
We prepare to depart the Hotel.
East meets West at the Brandenberg Gate.
The Holocaust Memorial.
Pete at Soundcheck – something must have been going right!
Burma at the Ramones Museum (Berlin).

China is leading the way in digitalizing the consumer experience in retail, but both major competitors – Alibaba and Tencent – have different retail strategies, says WeChat expert Matthew Brennan to the News Lens. Alibaba focuses on the offline experience, Tencent's WeChat will stay online. In 2018 the battle will be on mobile payment, he adds.
Matthew Brennan, founder of China Channel, a consultancy on China's digital market, said that the trend is apparent across all consumer-facing industries. "China is leading the rest of the world in terms of digitalizing the customer experience and blending this experience seamlessly between offline and online elements," Brennan said.
According to Brennan, retailers are moving back to offline as online growth matures – being a purely online play will no longer sustain the rapid growth that Alibaba and Tencent are used to.
Tencent's payment service, WeChat Pay, already has about 800 million users in China, and together with Alibaba's Alipay, the pair dominate China's massive mobile payment space.
The majority of retailers here, from supermarkets to street vendors, now accept either or both forms of payment. As such, the latest official data showed mobile payments reached 81 trillion yuan in the first 10 months of last year, up 40 percent on the whole of 2016.
While Tencent has its fingers in many pies, it is not a direct retailer, and instead relies on a partnership with e-commerce major JD.com in place since 2014 to drive sales through WeChat Pay.
Pushing into unmanned stores is thus a natural next step for Tencent as it attempts to remain relevant in "new retail" while building on its existing strength in the mobile payments market.
"WeChat does not have ambitions to open its own stores across China, Tencent's strategy is to partner with existing retail players and help digitalize the retail experience," Brennan explained. "Both [Alibaba] and Tencent are now moving into a wide variety of vertical industries for a variety of reasons, retail though is the most important battleground for 2018.

For hard-hit Lebanese, Eid traditions are now just too costly
ReutersJuly 31, 2020
TRIPOLI, Lebanon (Reuters) — On the streets of Tripoli, Lebanon's second biggest city and one of its poorest, there are no signs of festivities for Eid al-Adha this year, no decorations or twinkling lights. There's no electricity anyway.
Only a large billboard welcomes visitors at one of the city's entrances. "We're broke," it says.
The Muslim holiday usually spells large family gatherings replete with mutton cuts, sweets and gifts.
But with Lebanon's economy imploding, leaving many hungry, and fuel shortages causing daily blackouts, there is little to celebrate. Soaring prices mean few can afford Eid traditions.
Many butchers' shops in Tripoli, once buzzing with customers, were closed this week.
Meat prices are just too high for most people, forcing them to forgo the Eid custom of slaughtering sheep or lambs to share among family and donate to the needy as alms.
"What Eid? Look around you, does this look like a market at Eid to you? Where are the people?" said Um Tarek, a mother of five, at the central souk.
Her husband owns a sweet shop but now barely manages to put food on the table. They will be lucky if they can buy a watermelon for Eid. "We've only had it once this season," she said.
"It used to be that you had to elbow your way in through this market over Eid," said Ghazi Arnaout, whose family's shoe shop has been around for six decades. He plans to shut it down after the festival.
Hatem Abulashra, a livestock merchant, had few customers for this year's holiday. The price of a lamb has gone up more than eightfold since last year.
"My farm is full of sheep but there is no one buying. What good is that?" he said. "Even my own family is not eating meat."
For Iman al-Ali, whose blind husband had to sell his vegetable cart, it was already tough to get by before the crisis wiped out the daily manual labour they relied on.
They had to move with their eight children into the tiny storage room of a building, and nowadays all she can do is hope they don't starve.
"They keep asking me for new clothes," she said. "But we just can't."

A Newspaper Frets Over Fletcher and the GOP Brand
by Scott Lewis May 3, 2012 March 15, 2022
On Sunday, U-T San Diego implied in an editorial that Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher's integrity as a Marine was in question after he abandoned the Republican Party in the middle of his run for mayor.
While that point seemed to get the most attention in the discussion the editorial provoked, it was the part right before that I found most intriguing (emphasis added):
And in leaving the Republican Party as he did, criticizing it as equally to blame for political dysfunction, he essentially left his colleagues behind, harming Republicans running for office. Does this demonstrate a Marine's loyalty?
I asked U-T editorial page editor Bill Osborne, over Twitter, how Fletcher was hurting other local Republican candidates. His answer: "… the editorial was saying he damaged the GOP brand."
The paper also says he's got some questions to answer.
Fletcher has decided to hit the U-T back, saying he already answered them in an interview shortly after leaving the party.
His campaign released the audio and a transcript of a March 29 on-the-record interview he did with the editorial board. Here's a link to the transcript of it, produced by Fletcher's campaign team. And here's audio (mp3).
The conversation opens a window into the newspaper's worry about the Republican Party and a broader confusion in the community between party and principle.
As people discuss Fletcher's defection from the party, these two concepts seem to have become interchangeable. They are not.
And if we can understand them better, we might be able to understand what's going on.
Take this question from U-T editor Jeff Light to Fletcher during the interview:
I think this whole thing is interesting. Let me ask you this. I think you've put us sort of in a tough position. We as an editorial board do not want to see Bob Filner get through to the general election, because the environment around the general election is much more favorable to Bob Filner. So we certainly want to keep that from happening. On the other hand, some of the things you said, it was a little more than just 'hey I just want to be an independent voice.' And I think this was what Pete Wilson was reacting to. It was sort of that message that 'well, the Republican Party is bad.' How can we get behind you given that we've got a lot of Republican backing and Republican tradition? I think that puts us in a tough position.
Fletcher's response:
Well I think you've got to go and look at what I actually said. And what I said is that I'm rejecting the partisan environment of today. People say 'well did you ever consider becoming a Democrat.' I didn't. Because I think there's unwillingness on that side as well to step out and solve problems, whether we're talking about pensions or managed competition or some of these other types of issues.
And the other thing is that there's not one position of mine that's changed. There's not one issue that's changed. There's not one principle that's changed. The only thing that's changed is the party label. And folks that have a tremendous amount of consternation in the move, it's more of an adherence to that label than to what I represent and what I've been. I'm the exact same person today as I was yesterday as I was the day before.
Many folks have struggled with this point and say things like "But he's still a Republican! His wife worked for George W. Bush!" Even Tony Krvaric, the chairman of the San Diego County Republican Party, put it this way in a recent U-T story: "This is somebody who was a partisan Republican and is trying to sell himself as something different."
Actually, a partisan, with its strict definition, is exactly what he no longer is.
A party in this country is a collection of individuals and interests who organize together in order to gain power. Here, our parties are not ideologically pure.
What Fletcher was doing was not saying he was becoming more liberal or more like the Democratic Party. What he was just saying was that he was sick of working with the Republican Party and trying to please them.
And what the U-T appears to be saying, in many, many words, is that it is now partisan above other considerations. I know, it's not exactly news that the U-T prefers Republicans. But it wasn't that long ago that the paper endorsed a Democrat named Mike Aguirre for city attorney. It has endorsed others.
Fealty to the GOP would be a new litmus test for support from the paper.
Liberals who are suspicious that Fletcher has not actually become more progressive in the last two months should be. He insists time and time again, in this extraordinary discussion with the U-T, that he has not changed his positions.
We often use "Republican" and "Democrat" as shorthand to explain someone's views and principles. And that means that when someone leaves the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, we assume they're trying to communicate that they've changed their minds.
But when you think of parties as just teams — coalitions of people trying to support each other to gain power and influence — this all makes a lot more sense.
Understanding that should help ease the U-T's worries. Instead, though, they are saying this one lone wolf is able to harm the GOP and its candidates. Ostensibly, that means he's hurting San Diego in their view.
That would also mean, though, that they don't think the party is very strong. After all, the GOP has millions of critics. Why would a new one cripple it?
In fact, openly fretting that Fletcher is able to hurt the party this much demonstrates far more contempt for the GOP brand and its resilience from the U-T than anything I've seen Fletcher say.

In Thief Simulator, players aim to be the best at their job. Being a thief in the game is a complicated process with one major consequence: get caught and go to jail.
"Become the thief. Steal in free roam sandbox neighborhoods. Observe your target and gather information that will help you with the burglary. Take the challenge and rob the best secured houses. Buy some hi-tech burglar equipment and learn new thief tricks. Sell stolen goods to the passers. Do anything that a real thief does!" states the official game summary.
Players will have to gather intel about their targets before striking, which may include watching the victim's house to learn their movements. Players will then attempt to break into the house by picking their locks or other means, such as using high-tech equipment to break into more secured locations.
After inside the home, thieves have to move fast and take as much as possible. The catch is that players have to decide on what's a high item that can be resold and what is useless junk. If players take too long or make the wrong moves, the police may arrive before they can escape.
Players don't have to limit themselves to homes. Cars are another target that can be stolen and disassembled for parts.
With their stolen goods, players can sell the parts online. Each stolen item has to be prepared properly before selling them in a local place like a pawn shop, or else the police will trace the items back to the thief.
Thief Simulator was previously released in 2018 on PC via Steam and Xbox One in February 2020. When the title launched on Steam, it was at the top of the Best Seller list that weekend. The game is a small file size of 1.7 GB and supports English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish languages.
Thief Simulator is a digital download only on the Switch eShop and is available now.

A rare condition mimicking stroke: Diabetic uremic encephalopathy
TEKESIN Aysel, ERDAL Yuksel, MAHMUTOGLU Soydan Abdullah, HAKYEMEZ Ahmet, EMRE Ufuk
Uremic encephalopathy (UE) is a metabolic disorder associated with acute or chronic renal failure. It is characterized by the acute or subacute onset of reversible neurological symptoms and specific imaging findings. It is uncommon for uremic encephalopathy to be associated with acute bilateral lesions of the basal ganglia in diabetic uremic patients, and this can be seen most often in Asian patients. Here, we report a patient with diabetic uremic encephalopathy and bilateral basal ganglia lesions who developed acute onset dysarthria. The clinical and magnetic resonance brain imaging findings resolved after hemodialysis treatment.
Can high uric acid levels be an independent risk factor for acute ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis?
ACAR Türkan, ARAS Guzey Yesim, GÜL Sinem Sidika, ACAR Atılgan Bilgehan
Introduction - Uric acid is a molecule that is known to act as a natural antioxidant in acute oxidative stress conditions such as acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Although there are several studies on the prognostic value of serum uric acid (UA) level, especially the AIS, its importance in ischemic stroke is still controversial. Our aim in this study is to investigate whether the serum UA level is an indicative biomarker in the large-artery atherosclerosis in the AIS etiology. Material and method - Of the patients admitted to Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital Depart-ment of Neurology between January 2017 and November 2017, 91 hospitalized patients, who had AIS diagnosis and had their uric acid levels measured, were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), smoking habit, obesity, gout, hyperlipidemia (HL) and renal failure were excluded from the study. Patients were classified as anterior system and posterior system infarct. Then, patients were divided into two groups, one with internal carotid artery (ICA) > 50% stenosis and the other with ICA < 50% stenosis according to carotid-vertebral artery doppler USG examination performed for etiology. Serum UA, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin levels of both groups were statistically compared. Results - In the comparison of serum UA values of ICA>50% stenosis and ICA<50% stenosis group of AIS patients, a statistically significant difference was found between the UA levels (p<0.000), but there was no difference between total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin values (p>0.05). Conclusion - High uric acid levels can be considered an independent, indicative risk factor for large-artery disease in AIS.
Novel structured MRI reporting system in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy - issues of development and first use experiences
Purpose - To develop an evidence-based, standardized structured reporting (SR) method for brain MRI examinations in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) suitable both for clinical and research use. Materials and methods - SR template development was based on comprehensive review of the pertinent literature with the basic sections and subdivisions of the template defined according to MRI sequences (both conventional and diffusion-weighted, MR-spectroscopy (MRS), and T2*-weighted imaging), and the items targeted on age-related imaging patterns of HIE. In order to evaluate the usability of the proposed SR template we compared data obtained from the brain MR image analysis of 87 term and 19 preterm neonates with the literature. The enrolled 106 infants were born between 2013 and 2015, went through therapeutic hypothermia according to the TOBY criteria due to moderate to severe asphyxia and had at least one brain MRI examination within the first two weeks of life. Ethical approval was obtained for this retrospective study. Descriptive statistical analysis was also performed on data exported from the structured reporting system as feasibility test. Results - The mean gestational age of the study population was 38.3±2.2 weeks; brain MRI was performed on 5.8±2.9 day of life, hence in 78% of our patients after the conclusion of therapeutic hypothermia. Our main imaging findings were concordant to the pertinent literature. Moreover, we identified a characteristic temporal evolution of diffusion changes. Interestingly 18% (n=19/106) of the clinically asphyxiated infants had isolated axial-extraaxial haemorrhage without any imaging sign of HIE. Conclusion - In this article our approach of reporting HIE cases with our novel SR template is described. The SR template was found suitable for reporting HIE cases, moreover it uncovered time and location dependent evolution of diffusion abnormalities (and pseudonormalization, as well), suggesting its usefulness in clinical research applications. The high number of isolated intracranial haemorrhages, and the changing diffusion pattern emphasizes the importance of early imaging in HIE.
[Relationship between patent foramen ovale and cryptogenic stroke in a retrospective hospital-based study]
BÖJTI Péter Pál, BARTHA Noémi Eszter, MAY Zsolt, BERECZKI Dániel, FÜLÖP Szilvia, SZAKÁCS ZOLTÁN, SZILÁGYI Géza
[Objective - After routine workup, 23-25% of ischemic strokes etiology remains unknown, i.e. cryptogenic. However, according to international results pathogenic patent foramen ovale (PFO) reveals in 25% of these cases. Aim of our retrospective study to prove the substantial etiological role of PFO-related stroke (PFO-RS) in cryptogenic strokes (CS), and to identify age related differences in stroke etiology. Methods - All new ischemic strokes of 2014-2015 were classified by ASCOD (Atherosclerosis, Small-vessel disease, Cardiac pathology, Other, Dissection) phenotyping. CS was defined when the etiology was unknown. With the help of special ultrasound techniques and RoPE (Risk of Paradoxical Embolism) score the portion of PFO-RS were determined in the examined CS population. Moreover, etiological distribution and differences between age groups (<40, 40-60, >60 years) were described. Results - During the examined period, 8.12% of 985 new ischemic strokes were categorized as CS. 41.38% of examined CS were found to be PFO-related. PFO-RS were considerably more frequent in the younger age groups than in the older age groups. The probability of appearance of PFO-RS were significantly higher in younger age than in case of age independency. Our results verify the substantial etiological role of PFO-RS in CS, and confirm the essential role of contrast enhanced functional transcranial Doppler in the routine diagnostic workup. Age related differences in stroke etiology were found to be statistically significant (p=0.000, df=14), in which small-vessel disease, cardiac pathology, dissection, other pathologies, CS and PFO-RS were contributed significantly. Based on our results, till in young age rare etiologies are typical, while in older age classical etiologies are mainly characteristic.]
Evaluation of ischemic stroke patients with systemic cancer
UFUK Emre, TASKIN Gunes, IREM Pinar, FURUZAN Kokturk, ESENGUL Liman, ORHAN Yağiz
Purpose - In cancer patients, an ischemic stroke can be seen as both a direct effect of cancer and a complication of treatment. This condition can negatively affect the follow-up and treatment of these patients. For this research, we aimed to evaluate the clinical features, stroke types and etiological features of ischemic stroke patients with histories of cancer or found to have cancer during the aetiological investigation. Materials and methods - We retrospectively evaluated 100 patients (57 males, 43 females) who were hospitalized with acute stroke and determined to have the presence of cancer or a cancer history during the aetiological investigation between 2011 and 2016. All the demographic features, stroke types and localizations, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, Rankin Scale scores, durations of cancer and cancer treatments were recorded. Results - The mean age of the patients was 67.07 ± 10.9 years old, the median NIHSS score was 5, and the median Rankin Scale score was 4. While 79% of patients had ischemic stroke risk factors, 21% did not. Atherosclerotic stroke was the most common stroke type (49%, n=49) and cryptogenic strokes were detected in 21% (n=21). In addition, 63% of the patients had chronic cancer (later than 6 months), 31% of the patients had recent cancer histories (less than 6 months), and 29% of the patients had metastases. Among all the malignancies, lung cancer (n=23), gastrointestinal cancer (n=20) and gynaecological-breast cancer (n=16) were the three most common. Moreover, 37% of the patients underwent chemotherapy, 29% underwent radiotherapy, and 88% of the patients had Carotid/Vertebral Doppler USG abnormalities. Conclusion - Similar to what is stated in the literature, an atherosclerotic stroke was the most common type of stroke in the cancer patients. Stroke risk factors were not detected in 21% of the patients, and in the majority of the patients, atherosclerotic changes in the carotid artery were observed in the Doppler examinations. In the aetiology and prognosis of ischemic stroke, it is important to keep in mind the existence of cancer in addition to the classical stroke risk factors.
Alteration of mean platelet volume in the pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke: cause or consequence?
AYAS Özözen Zeynep, CAN Ufuk
Introduction - Platelets have a crucial role on vascular disease which are involved in pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Platelet size is measured as mean platelet volume (MPV) and is a marker of platelet activity. Platelets contain more dense granules as the size increases and produce more serotonin and tromboglobulin (b-TG) than small platelets. In this study, the alteration of MPV values were investigated in patients with acute stroke, who had MPV values before stroke, during acute ischemic stroke and 7 days after the stroke. The relationship between this alteration and risk factors, etiology and localization of ischemic stroke were also investigated. Methods - Sixty-seven patients with clinically and radiologically established diagnoses of ischemic stroke were enrolled into the study and stroke etiology was classified by modified Trial of Org 10 172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification and, modified Bamford classification was used for localization and stroke risk factors were also evaluated. The platelet counts and MPV values from patient files in patients who had values before stroke (at examination for another diseases), within 24 hours of symptom onset and after 7 further days were analysed. Results - MPV values increased after stroke (10.59±2.26) compared with acute stroke values (9.84±1.64) and the values before stroke (9.59±1.72) (p<0.0001); this alteration of MPV values occured 7 days after stroke (p<0.016). There was a positive correlation between age and MPV values during acute stroke (r=0.270; p<0.05). Patients with atrial fibrillation had higher alteration in the time of MPV compared with patients without atrial fibrillation (p>0.006). We assessed for gender, men (n=38) had a higher alteration in the time of MPV compared with women (n=29) (p=0.013). Conclusion - Although there was no alteration of platelet counts, MPV values were increased 7 days after stroke in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
[Gout, hyperuricaemia and cardiovascular risk - Effects of allopurinol]
KÉKES Ede
[Hyperuricemia has an increasing clinical relevance due to its pathomechanism and its presence and adverse effects on cardiovascular, metabolic and renal diseases today. Its presence is a world phenomenon and in our country, we have seen increasing incidence rates during the screening surveys in recent years. Convincing evidence suggests that the high uric acid values in cardiovascular and renal diseases is an independent risk factor for CV mortality and their clinical manifestations. Experimental and clinical evidences indicates that in addition to gout, all high uric acid levels should be considered to initiate the XO inhibitor allopurinol treatment. Recently, in some diseases, in the treatment of the underlying disease (especially elderly hypertension, ischemic heart disease, chronic heart failure, chronic kidney failure) is also considered as an adjunct therapy.]
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome as an initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus
AYAS Özözen Zeynep, ÖCAL Öncel Ruhsen, GÜNDOGDU Aksoy Asli
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a disorder which is diagnosed with its characteristic clinical and radiological findings, typically resolves with treatment. The prevalence of PRES in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is not exactly known. A systemic disorder frequently appears as a presenting symptom in SLE. However, in rare cases, the disease starts with a neurological manifestation. Here we report a 35-year-old woman presenting with a headache and blurred vision. She had neurologic symptoms and cerebral lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggesting PRES. The patient was diagnosed with SLE during the etiological investigation of PRES. In this article, we aimed to emphasize that PRES as an initial presentation of SLE.
[United Nations program to reduce premature cardiovascular mortality by 2025 and the estimation of the success of the program]
KÉKES Ede, SZEGEDI János, KISS István
[Worldwide surveys show that cardiovascular (CV) mortality is the decisive element of total mortality. Between 1990 and 2013, the absolute number of CV deaths increased by 40.8%. Within this, ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, such as the two main elements of mortality, have also increased to such an extent. Compared to the increase in absolute deaths, the age-standardized mortality rate per 100,000 population declined by 21.9%. The cause of the paradox is the development of therapy and the increase in the average age of the population. What is decisive for the lost life years (YLL) in CV cause of deaths IHD is moved from 4th to 1st place, stroke from 5th to third. This change is typical in the most regions of the world, including Central Europe and, above all, Hungary. The following factors contribute to increasing IHD and stroke mortality: smoking, hypertension, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes. In 2011, the United Nations Conference on Communicable Diseases a uniform resolution was made, that it is a key objective for all nations to reduce their premature mortality by 25% in 2025. The CV diseases have been highlighted in a separate program and their name was "Heart of 25 by 25". The main objective is to reduce the of premature CV mortality (probability of dying between 30 and 70 years). The target consists of main points: 30% reduction in smoking, 25% reduction in the prevalence of high blood pressure, halt the rise in obesity and diabetes type 2. Worldwide estimations were made on what would be expected in 2025 when the program was successful or unsuccessful. If the current trend remains then 30% in women and 34% in men would increase premature mortality. If all factors are influenced, then the increase will be only 1% for women and a reduction by 6% for men for developed countries, a reduction in both sexes would exceed 20%.]
[Interdisciplinary aspects of alcoholism and smoking from the perspective of primary care]
DARVAI László, RIHMER Zoltán, BALCZÁR Lajos, CSERHÁTI Zoltán, TÚRI Gergő, BÉLTECZKI Zsuzsa, KALABAY László, TORZSA Péter
[There is a complex and multi-directional relationship between alcoholism, smoking, depression, anxiety disorders, cardiovascular disorders and type 2 diabetes. They are risk factors not only for each other but - because of their relationship with depression - also for suicide. The effect of successful therapy of depression and anxiety plays a role not only in reducing suicide but also in reduction of alcoholism, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and smoking. Therefore, the effect of the appropriate specific treatments appears (even to a lesser extent) also in the field of another medical discipline. On the other hand, the reduction of smoking may be - in addition to decreasing mortality and morbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, ischemic heart disease, and so on - a causal factor in decreasing suicidal morbidity and mortality, as well as in decreasing morbidity of depression. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness of the relevant professions and healthcare financiers and decision-makers to these hidden benefits (appearing in other fields of expertise). The presented data justify not only the better funding for Mental Health Services but also the extension of the competence of primary care physicians to the mild and moderate (not psychotic and not suicidal) depression and anxiety disorders. ]

A significant compliance breach can materially affect the tax effectiveness of your SMSF, so check you are complying with these seven steps and stay on top of the administration and obligations.
It's fashionable to have an SMSF, and at barbecue talk, it goes well with the new car, private school, investment property and overseas holiday. But who should really have one?
Regardless of why an SMSF needs winding up, certain steps must be followed to do it correctly. This list will help SMSFs trustees stay on the right side of the law and allow for a smoother audit process.
Your SMSF Trust Deed is an important document, governing what the trustees are allowed to do. As superannuation laws change, so too must the Trust Deed, or you risk having a non-compliant fund on your hands.
The majority of SMSFs have just two members, typically husband-wife. One of the most common problems with an SMSF is what happens if one member dies or becomes incapacitated.
Super fund mission statements typically focus on delivering strong returns and providing valuable services to members. As Australia's super system matures, the mission should also include a goal for retirement standards.
There are stringent rules and regulations to follow when an SMSF borrows to invest in property. And despite what you might hear in the market, your SMSF cannot be used to pay off the home you live in.
When a fund is open to the public, there is a dilution of the influence of those who were 'looking after' their members – unions and employers. Super funds may need to better balance leadership and consensus management styles.

Q: Audit Log Partition keeps getting corrupted. How to prevent or boot anyway? I am running RHEL7, and my audit log partition randomly (not often, but often enough to annoy me) gets corrupted, preventing me from booting. How can I either prevent the partition from being corrupted, or ignore it and allow the system to continue to boot? "Sledgehammer" answers are acceptable.
Whenever the system becomes corrupted, I run a umount, followed by a xfs_repair -L, followed by a mount. This temporarily fixes the issue until the next time it gets corrupted.

*

*Will disabling auditing via auditd -e 2 or systemctl disable auditd solve this issue?

*Is there a way to continue to boot (ignore the partition) if audit log partition is corrupted?

*Can I just delete the partition, if I also disable auditing?

*Can I put the partition in read-only mode?

*Can I automatically detect a corrupted partition and repair it on boot? This answer seems to indicate I can have xfs_repair run on boot, but I'm not fully following the answer.

A: Here are some suggestions you can

*

*Disable auditing via auditd -e 2 or systemctl disable auditd: This might solve the issue of audit log partition corruption, as auditing will be disabled and hence no data will be written to the partition. However, you need to weigh the pros and cons of disabling auditing on your system, as it may prevent the system from logging important information.

*Ignoring the partition: There isn't a straightforward way to ignore the corrupted partition, but you can try creating a new partition and copying over the data from the corrupted partition to the new partition, and then set the new partition as the audit log partition.

*Deleting the partition: This will prevent the system from logging audit data, but as you have already said, this is a "sledgehammer" solution.

*Putting the partition in read-only mode: This will prevent the system from writing data to the partition, but will not prevent the partition from becoming corrupted.

*Automatically detecting and repairing the partition: You can add a script to automatically run xfs_repair on boot, if the partition is detected to be corrupted. To do this, you can create a script that runs xfs_repair -L and add it to the system startup.

This seven-part documentary series examines New Zealand as a nation of migrants. The original idea behind the show was to concentrate on upbeat personal stories. But many of the completed episodes go wider, balancing modern day interviews with a broader historical view of each group's immigrant experience down under. Immigrant Nation saw camera crews travelling to Europe, China, Sri Lanka and Samoa. Stories of escape, longing and prejudice are common - along with a feeling of having a foot in two worlds. An Immigrant Nation screened on TV One.
