Home Scoops & Analysis NY Comptroller DiNapoli Announces New Pay-to-Play Rule
NY Comptroller DiNapoli Announces New Pay-to-Play Rule
Dan Primack
New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli today signed an executive order banning the $116.5 billion NY Common Retirement Fund from doing business with anyone who has made contributions to the state comptroller within the past two years. It also would affect firms making contributions to candidates for state comptroller.
The executive order is effective in 45 days from today. It also is prospective rather than retrospective, which basically means that past contributions and/or investment decisions will not be affected. Disclosure of contributions would be required to be made by the firms themselves, rather than via a search of campaign finance records.
DiNapoli says the rule mirrors proposed regulations by the SEC, which also would ban the use of placement agents. The Comptroller already banned placement agent usage by NYCRF earlier this year.
The rule does not apply to law firms or other retained service providers to investment firms. It also does not address the issue of contributions from family members of investment professionals (a provision also missing from the SEC proposal, but which has been cited as essential in several comment letters).
A Bloomberg reporter asked if DiNapoli believes campaign contributions affected his predecessor's investment decisions. He didn't directly answer, although said most of the current pay-to-play scandal did not relate to campaign contributions. Former comptroller Alan Hevesi has not been implicated in the alleged wrongdoing of his chief investment officer (David Logisci, currently under indictment).
I asked DiNapoli about why NYCRF still maintains a single-fiduciary structure, when virtually all other state systems use some sort of multi-person board. He said that his office has put in various new controls over the past few months, but that such a fundamental change would be above his pay grade. He also used the example of Illinois, saying that a board structure does not preclude corruption.

Transfer Tuesday: Oh, you've got to be kidding me
It's Tuesday, so we're rounding up all the dumb rumors for you. Let's start out with the dumbest, shall we?

Share All sharing options for: Transfer Tuesday: Oh, you've got to be kidding me
Even Andrea Pirlo thinks that's some pretty good hair.

To be honest, we started hearing rumblings of this one last week, but dismissed them as too far-fetched even for Transfer Tuesday (which means pretty far-fetched indeed). However, more and more whispers are borne to us on the winds of the internet, so it's time to start talking about Juventus tapping Paulo Sousa as Max Allegri's replacement in 2017 or sooner. In fact, it looks like the Old Lady has already gotten in touch with the Portuguese mister's agent, which, depending on the circumstances, could be construed as illegal tampering. Hopefully this one will quietly die down on its own, but it'll probably gain steam and need to be dealt with by club management. Which certainly inspires confidence.
Then, there's the odd case of Luigi Sepe. While he hasn't been sacked after his embarrassing Instagram outburst, he has been cast into the outer darkness and banished from the bench. His agent, demonstrating some real chutzpah, has come out and criticized Fiorentina for not giving his client any minutes, even in the youth setup. Just wow. Sepe's replacement as backup goalkeeper, the 17 year old Giacomo Satalino, is making waves for the right reasons. Following some impressive displays for the Primavera, he got a call-up to the senior side. This hasn't gone unremarked in the Premier League, whose clubs are allowed to offer contracts to 17-year-olds--the rest of Europe has to wait until the player turns 18, which has led to some famously dodgy dealings. With both Manchester clubs and Arsenal eyeing the precocious net minder, here's hoping he doesn't go the Kiko Macheda route.
We reported on the longstanding Viola interest in Marc Bartra rearing its head again last week, but now it turns out Spurs are interested as well, which means the defender probably just became too expensive for a move to Florence. And hey, speaking of defenders too expensive to move to Florence, AC Milan are considering Emmanuel Mammana. (Author rams head into desk repeatedly, is escorted from premises by workplace security.) If we're being honest, Fiorentina are more likely to buy Valerio Cardamone. "Who," you may ask, "is Valerio Cardamone?" He's 17 years old and plays centerback. He's being tracked by la Viola after recently appearing in an amateur tournament in Florence; AS Roma and Cesena are also keeping tabs on him.
Somewhat more promising is Thomas Meunier. The towering Belgian international rightback has sparkled for Club Brugge this year and is likely to seek pastures and paychecks new. He's a non-stop runner and built like a tank, but also reads the game well and can contribute going forward with good crossing, decent passing, and surprisingly nimble feet. What's more, his agent is Michelangelo Minieri, whom you doubtless recall as a former Fiorentina centerback who spent the Serie C2 season in Florence. Hopefully, that'll influence the young fullback, who's generated interest from a host of Italian and German clubs. Empoli leftback Mario Rui's agent is also mentioning Fiorentina (as well as every other top-half club in Serie A) as a potential landing place for his client, just as he did over the summer and winter windows.
Switching gears, Samuel Bastien is a Belgian 18-year-old number 10 whose rights are owned by Anderlecht. He's quick and has the look of a player about to take off, and he's familiar with Italian football, considering that he's on loan at Avellino. Unfortunately, a number of European heavyweights are also monitoring his progress.
Finally, it's time for the most exciting player linked to Fiorentina right now. He's an 18 year old attacker who plays for Santos in Brazil. If you guessed Gabriel "Gabigol" Barbosa, you're well plugged in. Nice job. Predicted to be the subject of a €15 million bid, the left-footed youngster can play out wide or through the middle. He's got everything in the toolbox you'd expect from an impressively-coiffed Brazilian attacker. Fiorentina has representatives in Sao Paulo talking to the club, so an offer seems likely. Whether that €15 mil is enough, of course, is the real question.

Well Chief was a German-bred race horse who was trained in Britain by David Pipe and owned by David Johnson.

Early life

He started his racing career as a Flat horse in Germany trained by Ralf Suerland and made his debut in a Listed race at Dortmund, which he won. He went on to have 3 more starts for the trainers, 2 of those in Group 3 class and the other in Group 2 class, where he finished 6th, 9th and 7th respectively.

Owner Change
Well Chief was then bought by David Johnson and sent to England to be trained by Martin Pipe. He made his British debut in a maiden hurdle at Taunton in February 2003, where he won by 5 lengths. He was stepped up in class later that month and won the Grade 2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Kempton. In his next start, which was his third over hurdles, Well Chief contested the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, where he was denied by a head when finishing 2nd to Spectroscope. In his final race of the season, he was sent off a warm 2/1 favourite for the Grade 1 4-Y-O Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April and finished a 2½ length 3rd to 33/1 winner Le Duc.

History
Well Chief made his reappearance the following season (2003/04) in the Elite Hurdle in November, where he won by just under 2 lengths and shaved 0.2 seconds of the course record which had stood for nearly 9 years. He embarked on a novice chasing campaign in February 2004. After winning a Novices Chase at Taunton, he was stepped up to Grade 1 class at the Cheltenham Festival, where he was sent off a 9/1 shot for the Arkle Challenge Trophy and won by a length from Kicking King. He followed that up with another victory in the Maghull Novices' Chase, which was his final appearance of that season.

He reappeared in 2004/05 season in a Handicap Chase at Cheltenham in November, where he finished a head 2nd to Armaturk. He then contested the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown, finishing 1½ length 3rd to Moscow Flyer, with Azertyuiop 2nd. After that run, Well Chief was sent off an odds on favourite for the Castleford Chase at Wetherby, in which he fell at the fourth last fence. He resumed winning ways in his next race with a victory in the Victor Chandler Chase. In his next two runs, he finished 2nd to Azertyuiop in the Game Spirit Chase and second behind Moscow Flyer in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. He then got his head in front in the Celebration Chase at Sandown in April, where he beat old rival Azertyuiop.

Injury
Well Chief suffered a severe leg injury, which kept him out for nearly 2 years. He came back from the injury in the 2007 Game Spirit Chase, where he was sent off the 5/2 2nd favourite behind Ashley Brook. After nearly 2 years off the track, he beat the favourite by 11 lengths and was sent off the even favourite for the Queen Mother Champion Chase on his next start but fell early on in the race, which was won by Voy Por Ustedes. He then had one more run at Aintree, where he was sent off an odds-on favourite for the Melling Chase and finished 3rd behind Monet's Garden.

Well Chief returned to action in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, finishing second behind Master Minded. He was retired after finishing seventh in the same race in 2010.

Well Chief died after an attack of colic in June 2017.

SquareMeal Review of Olivomare
The fishy outpost of Mauro Sassa's little Belgravia empire is as well-loved if not more so than its carnivorous sibling Olivocarne, with families, courting couples, office workers and business types all taking advantage of its pleasing piscine offer. "Wonderful Sardinian seafood" is the lure and the menu offers a host of timeless classics: mussels and clams with garlic and parsley, oysters and tuna bresaola all feature as starters, but there are dishes to tempt the curious too – chargrilled stuffed baby squid and sea urchins, for example, served raw with crostini. After that, invest in some handmade pasta – linguine with crab is a longstanding favourite, or skip directly to the main event such as grilled yellowfin tuna, sea bream baked in salt or a Sardinian version of a paella based on fregola couscous. Given that fish is the restaurant's USP, the wine list is surprisingly red-heavy, but few would argue with its quality.

Reviews of Olivomare
Ms/Mrs. Fiona R
Let me start by saying that I loathe fish. So the invitation to go with some very glamorous types to an upmarket fish restaurant had me groaning and reaching for my Spanx. Thin, glamorous women who live in that area always love fish but I'm a beef and sheep farmer's daughter who grew up in the 70's and 80's miles from the sea and have an instinctive mistrust of all fish. It could be off/ taste funny/ have bones in it that get caught in my throat/ even worse have bones in it that you're supposed to eat or, horror, still have those glassy eyes in it. Didn't the Queen Mother nearly die from getting a fish bone in her throat ? I knew I'd enjoy the company and have to suffer through the food but cooked some extra sausages to eat cold late at night as a consolation prize. Well I'm still right about fish but not the stuff they serve at Olivomare. I now proclaim long and loud that Olivomare is the only fish restaurant that I actually enjoy going to and actively look forward to going; family, friends and even strangers are bored of hearing me say it. Sure it's not cheap but it's Belgravia for Pete's sake: one of the most expensive area in one of the most expensive cities in the world ! What did you expect, Nando's ? I've never had anything other than excellent service there but accept that that could be because I've only be there with people who are just their type of clientele and/or go there regularly enough to get a lot of sucking up. {Note to self: must try going there just me and the chubby hubby and see how we get on !}. I actually had a conversation about the place a couple of days ago with some glossy types who were saying they liked it but it's not that much cheaper than Scotts and so would prefer to go there. I personally find Scotts too plush and very "fishy" plus the décor reminds me of the sort of women who accompany men who are members of The Clermont Club or even Annabel's: sort of plush and smug. So the décor here is cool and minimal but with a strong pattern. It looks like the restaurant equivalent of a silk Pucci dress which would actually be a good thing to wear to eat there. I've been there in the depths of winter and it's definitely more of a Summer venue. It's not actually cold but it makes you think you are. Things I've enjoyed from the menu: Crab salad and also the crab linguine which everyone likes I think. Even if you don't think you like crab like me. Tuna Bresaola Both the prawn and tuna carpaccios Tuna steak Grilled lobster and the Fritto Misto OK not the most adventurous things but all worked perfectly for me, the fish hater. Hands down winner: the crab linguine. It's one of those very simple, few ingredient dishes (actually like a lot of the menu is) that somehow is made so much better than the sum of it's parts. It just sings. By the way, I've never had pudding there because I've always been with thin women and I don't want to be the only one having pudding especially when you're three to four dress sizes bigger than everyone in the place including the men. In fact I'm not sure they even have puddings; it's not that sort of place. So do go if you want a good evening out with friends and aren't counting the pennies but especially if you don't like fish. I've sat in the front, sat in the back and even had the rubbish table in the middle where the waiters station is. They've all been fine although back is best as with almost all the Olivo group and the rubbish middle table does feel a bit like you're sitting in a busy corridor getting in other people's way. In fact having written this review, I'm going to email that original group of women and suggest we go again soon; I'm jonesing for that crab pasta…
Full marks for food, but...
If first impressions count, then things were not encouraging at Olivomare. Fortunately, however, the experience got markedly better and the food was indeed superb and a return visit justified. Admittedly our reservation was for midday, but arriving at three minutes to the hour, I certainly did not expect to see the restaurants' chefs sitting on the steps puffing away on cigarettes in full view of prospective diners. Like my mother, my first thought was, I do hope they wash their hands before they start preparing our food… Message to the restaurant: if your employees have to smoke, then make them do it in a less public location. On entering, the interior of the restaurant felt decidedly sparse (notwithstanding the absence of diners), almost clinical in appearance and dominated by a garish pescine mural (per the restaurant's name) all along one wall. We were lucky not to have to endure this though, since our reservation was for a table outside, which afforded wonderful people-watching opportunities, positioned to observe the denizens of Belgravia from our privileged location. Make no mistake, the food IS the main event here, the premise being a distinct emphasis on fresh ingredients used in dishes prepared to a high level of perfection. My dining comrade was a relative regular here and spoke highly of the menu. While he opted for his usual dishes, I had the luxury of perusing an almost totally fish-dominated menu (this is the idea; and there is another restaurant within the 'Olivo' mini-chain that operates the same principle with regard to meat; there is also a deli and a pizza place). My starter of sliced cured tuna with green beans and sundried tomatoes was beautifully presented with well-matched flavours. The main of crab meat linguine with garlic, chilli and fresh parsley was among the best I have had, with the latter ingredients being perfectly balanced. My comrade was similarly effusive about his dishes and I did look on somewhat enviously at his baked sea bass with black olives. We did not partake in wine, but the bill was still reasonable (at least by Belgravia standards).

We found ourselves at Olivomare on one of the hottest days of the year (ok, it's London, so not New York hot). So glad we did and it's stunningly good – as well as blindingly white. The food – all seafood naturally – is the freshest there is and the grilled lobster (£26) is reputedly the best in London. Brilliant, simple food; sea urchin (ricci di mare) came in a small bowl with crisp toast and was totally delicious, while my companion's baby octopus (moscardini) stew may have been a bit of an aberration on such a warm day, but was of superb consistency and my fork found it's way over to her plate with great regularity. Unfortunately my oysters slid down so fast that I forgot to share any and was lucky to get another glass of excellent Gavi. A shared semifreddo with fresh figs was a gorgeous finale even without the dessert wine which I secretly craved. Service was a bit distracted but if one can get the attention of the lovely maitre 'd Francesca, one will be ok. Sit outside if you can. The noise inside can be a bit much when it's full.

I have to say I don't agree with the "all style and no substance" in the official review of Olivomare – the interior of the restau is fab, I love the "seaweed" on the ceiling and the clever wall paper/paint, very funky! My crab linguine was really tasty and my tuna main course was perfectly cooked. I'll definitely go again next time I'm eating near Victoria.
Ms/Mrs. Julia C
Having been a big fan for years now of the "pizzeria" sister Oliveto, I was very enthusiastic about the opening of Olivomare last year and had dinner there a lot of times since. It is the place to go to if you are looking for a good quality all-fish meal and although the bright white interior feels a bit cold during the winter moths, I still think it has a cool modern design. On my last two visits here, however, I was hugely disappointed by the service received and (much worse) by what seems to be a regular trick they play on customers when paying their bill. The bill comes with "service included" but when paying by card, they added another 10% to the total amount, something I didn't realise until later at home when I saw I had paid £95 for a £85 bill. I obviously thought it was a mistake, but the following dinner there confirmed the horrible truth. The last time there, I had dinner with a friend and when paying the bill we actually ended up with a charge of £42 on each card for a bill which was £74 service included! On this occasion I told them that it was wrong and they apologised and returned us the £10 extra charged on our cards. The girl (who seems to be the manager) didn't look very surprised though and understood a bit "too quickly" what had happened. So I can't believe they made the same mistake twice and I am not sure I will go there again.

SEO generally has a very high return on investment because people using search engines have high intent to purchase. That means that rather than having to convince someone that they need your service, SEO visitors have already indicated their interest by searching for keywords that match your business category. SEO typically shows up as one of the lowest cost lead sources in annual surveys of marketers.
Depending on your target market, you can run either one or both Local SEO and General SEO.
Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a type of online marketing that helps businesses increase search engine traffic based on map placement for geographic related keywords. While there is some similarity between tactics used for general SEO versus Local SEO, the local algorithm for ranking is different from the general search algorithm. The Local SEO results are the fastest way for local businesses to get placement in search engine results page. Local SEO works best for businesses that have established local operations in one or more locations. National companies without local addresses cannot create local business profiles.
General SEO refers to a series of coordinated steps that increase the chance of your website showing in the search engine results page (SERP). People also refer to this presence in the SERP as organic rankings. Presence on the SERP for terms important to your organization leads to increased traffic and leads from your website. While the organization does not pay for each visitor to the website from organic search results, there is ongoing effort and time required to optimize the website and achieve top rankings.
For Local SEO, Onlinesoft helps verify your profile on Google+ Local, Yahoo and Bing. Each requires a postcard address verification. Our software lets you know when those cards will arrive and provides a way for you to give us the verification information. Once your listing is verified, we use content from your website and onboarding questionnaire to add photos, videos and other business information.
We submit your business NAP (Name Address Phone) to national and local business directories. These business listings build credibility for your local listing. One of the most important citations for your business profiles is your website. We provide specific local seo recommendations for your website. We work with you to get customers to add reviews to your local pages. We setup an email program and provide badges for your website. Reviews improve the authority of your local profile and also give potential customers more information about your business. Additionally, many of the local sites allow you to periodically update an offer or special. We'll help keep your local listings updated with new information.
For General SEO, Onlinesoft works with you to determine the best keyword targets. We use your current site traffic, keyword research tools and your business strategy to determine the target keywords that your prospects are using when looking for your business. We then create keyword relevant articles for your targeted keywords each month. The content is developed so that one article can be used several times during the link-building phase of the project.
All of our activities are available for client review through our SEO dashboard. In addition to the actions, we track rankings on a daily basis for each targeted keyword.

Reflecting his practical and academic background in the world of sport and experience of church leadership, a major aim of Nick's work is to bridge the theory-practice gap and, in turn, to facilitate the coming together of scholars, athletes, church leaders and practitioners from across all denominations and streams of Christianity, to affect a culture change in the world of sports. This has resulted in presentations for, and collaborations with, universities, churches, think-tanks, disability groups and mission and chaplaincy organizations.


With 250 seats, BioMio is the largest organic cantina in Denmark. Located in an old Bosh warehouse in the meatpacking district, Kødbyen – the hippest area in town – the restaurant is hard to miss.
In January, BioMio changed owners and is now run by Rune Friberg. The restaurant got a new face-lift and the kitchen underwent a much-needed renovation.
Despite its industrial look, the interior of BioMio is very inviting. There are long wooden tables and barstools, stainless steel lampshades and an open-plan kitchen where you can watch the chefs perform their craft.
Dining at BioMio is very informal as guests are expected to share the long tables and are seated close to each other.
Since its opening in 2011, the restaurant has been overwhelmingly popular. So, reservations are a must if you wish to secure a place to sit on a Friday or Saturday evening.
We got there on Monday evening and the restaurant was almost full, buzzing like a beehive. A full-waiter service was a pleasant change from the previous self-service with chip cards and beepers. And although casual, the staff were really attentive and helpful.
Cooking with passion, BioMio offers a fusion of Asian and European cuisine and changes its menu monthly. Everything, including wine and beer, is certified organic – the ingredients used in the meals are fresh, locally-produced, and biodynamic.
The restaurant also accommodates the various dietary needs guests might have, offering options for vegetarians, vegans as well as omnivores. Even those with a gluten intolerance can find suitable dishes on the menu.
As vegetarians, my partner and I opted for the meat-free dishes. While I started our culinary journey with a crunchy slaw of cabbage with a surprisingly hot chilli kick, my partner chose grilled vegetables topped with Danish hard cheese.
Both dishes were served in glass jars and built up our appetite for the main course.
There were eight mains to choose from on the menu, of which four were suitable for vegetarians.
I opted for the gnocchi. Prepared with an Asian twist, it was served with deliciously fresh mushrooms, cauliflower, grated cheese and rocket. My partner opted for the green wok, and got a generous portion of crispy veggies in teriyaki sauce topped with sunflower seeds.
While simple, both meals tasted great, yet we decided the gnocchi was our favourite.
And finally to satisfy our sweet tooths, we ordered BioMio's famous cheesecake with blueberries and sprinkled crumble. We also tried out the melon with honey cake dessert – but while it was tasty, it could not beat the cheesecake.
Both desserts were served in glass jars just like our starters, giving the presentation a rustic touch.
If you wish to dine at BioMio, come early to avoid waiting – the peak times are between 7 and 8pm.
Lunch is served from noon and dinner from 5pm. It is also possible to order takeaway.


These two very welcome double bill presentations from Fox will provide many UK genre fans with their first opportunity to view these films in their original theatrical aspect ratios.
For many viewers the fact that 1958 version of The Fly (and, for that matter, Return of the Fly) was shot in Cinemascope, and also had stereo sound, will come as something of a revelation. Both films are transferred in 2.35:1 ratio, enhanced for 16:9 presentation. The sound on The Fly is 4.0 surround sound (at 384kbps); on Return of the Fly it's straightforward stereo (at 192kbps). The two fifties movies are in excellent condition.
The 1986 version of The Fly and The Fly II fare relatively badly, with transfers that are no more than adequate. Both films are presented in 1.85:1 ratio, enhanced for 16:9 presentation. The audio on both is Dolby Digital 5.1.
Choosing between the UK and US versions is not easy. In the US each pair of films was presented on a single dual-layer disc. In the UK each film gets on its own disc, and three of them (Return of the Fly is the exception) are dual layer discs, which has resulted in slightly improved picture quality. The UK releases use the crippled 384kbps audio bitrate though: the American versions are presented at 448kbps. This is particularly disappointing in the case of The Fly, which has a terrific sound mix and a rich Howard Shore score. Each film comes with its theatrical trailer, but the US discs also have trailers for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Fantastic Voyage (a double bill available in the US, but not yet in the UK).


Capacity building programs can enhance the capabilities and opportunities for local institutions and communities affected by hydro developments.
Central to the economic and social sustainability of hydropower developments is the need to support capacity building within local communities and institutions through the demonstrable provision and support of increased capabilities and opportunities. The role that governments and project developers play in this process is integral to community acceptance of the project, the long term sustainability of the scheme and the effective distribution of benefits.
providing access to commercial electricity supply, water and sanitation.
Building and maintaining a hydro scheme can be heavily reliant on the use of local resources, not just materials such as rock fill but also through the employment of local labour and contracting of local businesses. Training and employing local people brings them into the cash economy and provides them with skills. The success of such a process is best initiated early in the community consultation process through discussion and involvement of local communities affected by development.
Participants in capacity building processes may need to be provided with incentives to participate, and may need encouragement through consensus building or conflict management techniques.
This scheme was a landmark project in that it was scoped and developed using local expertise and was funded entirely from within Nepal.
With the LaForge-1 hydropower development in Quebec, Canada, the Cree Amerindian community have been extensively engaged in the management and implementation of environmental rehabilitation/mitigation programs, boosting local capacity and maintaining traditional lifestyles.
Infrastructure upgrades and integrated planning at Yasaka Dam, Japan, are facilitating sustainable expansion of a multi-function scheme to support new enterprises and community activities.

John Lee Reelected to Represent Virginia on NRECA Board
by Staff Reports | Aug 9, 2021 | Connections Archive | 0 comments
John C. Lee Jr.
John C. Lee Jr., president and CEO of Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative in Chase City, Va., and EMPOWER Broadband Inc., in Bracey, Va., has been reelected by his peers to represent Virginia's electric cooperatives on the board of directors of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association.
Lee was elected by representatives from each electric cooperative in Virginia to serve as the Virginia Director on the NRECA Board at the July meeting of the Virginia, Maryland & Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives. He will begin serving his second two-year term in 2022.
NRECA is the Arlington, Va.-based trade association that represents the interests of more than 900 cooperatives and 42 million members across the country and public power districts and public utility districts.
"I am honored that my colleagues here in the Commonwealth continue to allow me to represent their best interests on the NRECA Board, and to champion matters that bring value to our distribution cooperatives and/or ODEC, our power supplier, and take a strong stand on issues that don't," Lee said.
"I will work diligently to justify their support by ensuring that our national organization does the right thing by those we serve, and dutifully represents our membership during these very tumultuous and evolving times in the electricity industry and in technology arenas.
"I look forward to the opportunity to continue to work with cooperative leaders from across the country to advance the cooperative business model, position cooperatives to continue their successful efforts to provide reliable, affordable, and environmentally sensitive electric service to tens of millions of cooperative members, and continue to bring life-changing services like broadband, to the communities we serve," he added.
The board reviews and approves the association's annual $250 million budget, provides oversight on legislative and regulatory activities, ensures the good financial standing of the cooperative network's benefit and retirements systems, supports the international outreach program, and advocates for the cooperative business model.
Lee will also serve on the NRECA Business and Technology Strategy Committee and bring the perspective of a distribution cooperative CEO who is involved in providing high-speed internet to Southside Virginia communities through EMPOWER Broadband, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative.
A graduate of Mississippi State University, Lee began his cooperative career as Old Dominion Electric Cooperative's Community Relations Specialist for the Clover Power Station in 1992. At ODEC, he also was director of economic development, manager of administration and vice president of member and external relations, before joining MEC as President and CEO in 2008.


Back in March Google announced the Google News Initiative (GNI), an organization-wide effort to improve the journalistic value of Google's services and ultimately "help journalism thrive in the digital age". The initiative took aim at everything from Google's flagship Search to YouTube, and now the company have unveiled the latest step in this ongoing plan.
Establishing a working group with news organizations and experts from around the world to help develop new product features, improve the news experience on YouTube, and tackle emerging challenges. Early member of the working group include Vox Media, Jovem Pan, and India Today.
Providing innovation funding across approximately 20 global markets intended to support news organizations in building sustainable video operations. Funding will be provided on an application basis to news organizations of all types.
Expanding the support team for news publishers. These specialists will be based around the world and support partners with training and best practices in formats, audience development, day-to-day platform operations, and sophisticated technical integrations.
YouTube are also making an effort to provide more sources and context relating to breaking news events, such as providing a short preview of news articles in search results on YouTube that link to the full article during the initial hours of a major news event, along with a reminder that breaking and developing news can rapidly change. Both the Top News and Breaking News features will also be expanded, with the company stating their intention to launch these features in a further 17 countries in the coming months.


Better Projects: What are the characteristics of a good Product Owner?
We have a very interesting meetup in Melbourne this week about Product Ownership.
Details about the session are below.
I recently reviewed the Product Owner description in the Scrum Guide. It struck me as outdated enough to write up a blog post with a view of updating it to meet the expectations of almost two decades of sharing and learning new agile techniques together.
I also took a tour through about 15 books on Product Management. It seems pretty apparent that the Scrum Guide is limited in scope and that often more needs to be addressed by the Product owner than just managing a backlog and being available for questions. But has the PM industry missed something fundamentally valuable from the Agile milieu?
Additionally, last week I was part of a local online discussion about whether scrum-masters/ agile coaches and Product owners should live inside the same human being on a team. The voices of experience shared a resounding NO! The story in that discussion was about avoiding the conflict of interest and potential for abuse of power by blending these two roles.
So we have a proposition for you to discuss.
What do you think about the PO description in the Scrum Guide? How useful is it for you in your role today? And what is it about Agile that Product Management doesn't seem to grok? What can you do to improve the way you and your team operate?
The people who come tonight will get to engage in a discussion about the role, and will help each other challenge assumptions and discuss ways to better execute on the role.
You'll leave the night smarter, more engaged and better looking.
You people all look conspicuously like IT workers. It shouldn't be be hard. Look at the photos of the attendees to find each others. Keep an eye out for Shruti, Gretchen and Ferenc. Also look for Mazdak, Glenn and Priya. You know each other already.
One of the meetup regulars will set the scene and get people organised.
The small groups will share back to the larger groups.
Agile team and players are expected to bring their best selves to the game. Turn up, actively contribute and help others by sharing your own experiences.

En teories supersimètriques de física de partícules, un gluí (símbol g~) és el company supersimètric (fermió d'espín 1/2) hipotètic del gluó (bosó d'espín 1).

Si existeixen, s'espera que puguin ser produïts en parelles a acceleradors de partícules com el Gran Col·lisionador d'Hadrons del CERN.

Els gluins són fermions de Majorana i interaccionen via la força forta com un octet de color (com els gluons, s'esperen 8 gluins amb diferents combinacions de color). El gluí té nombre leptònic 0, nombre bariònic 0, i espín 1/2. En models de supersimetria que conserven R-paritat, els gluins decauen via la interacció forta en un squark i un quark (de masses inferiors a la del gluí). El squark subsegüentment decau en un altre quark i la partícula supersimètrica més lleugera (LSP) com el neutralí (que escapa el detector sense interaccionar). Així, la producció de gluins a un col·lisionador resulta en un senyal típic de quatre jets més energia mancant. Tanmateix si els gluins són més lleugers que els squarks, la desintegració d'un gluí en 3 cossos, neutralino i un parell quark antiquark, és cinemàticament accessible mitjançant un squark virtual.

Cambridge, Mass. : Islamic Legal Studies Program, Harvard Law School, 2004.

Harvard series in Islamic law ; 3.
Harvard Law School. Islamic Legal Studies Program.
The Hanafi school of law is one of the oldest legal schools of Islam, coming into existence in the eighth century in Iraq, and surviving up to the present. So closely is the early development of the Hanafi school interwoven with non-legal spheres, such as the political, social, and theological, that the study of it is essential to a proper understanding of medieval Islamic history. Using rich material drawn mainly from medieval Islamic biographical dictionaries, Nurit Tsafrir offers a thorough examination of the first century and a half of the school's existence, the period during which it took shape. She provides a detailed account of the process by which the school attracted ever more followers and spread over vast geographical areas in the Islamic world empire. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the history of this influential school of law in the broader context of Islamic history. The History of an Islamic School of Law: The Early Spread of Hanafism will be of interest to all those concerned with early and medieval Isalmic history, the history of Islamic schools of law, legal history, and the social history of classical Islam.


Enchanting crystalline leaf gold in quartz specimen for the Harvard Open Pit Mine. This specimen, along with others we've collected from this mine, were found by a good friend of mine who was given access to mine the walls of the open pit mine with a gold detector. He did so in a canoe as the mine was naturally filling with water. The mine is now closed and is completely full of water, making this wonderful little specimen even more rare and special. It is on the smaller side at 3/4" tall and the weight of the entire specimen (quartz and gold) is 1.99 grams (30.7 grains). This would make an outstanding gift or your chance to add a special piece to your collection.

The MW reduces poverty. The 2014 CBO report made a very conservative estimate that a modest increase in the federal minimum wage would lift about 900,000 Americans above the poverty line, and other studies have made much higher estimates.
In response, MW way opponents argue that the MW raises unemployment. However, meta-analysis of empirical studies doesn't support this view.
For example, in 2009, Hristos Doucouliagos and T. D. Stanley - both PhD economists who are published experts in meta-analysis (they literally wrote the book on the subject, har har har) - "conducted a meta-study of 64 minimum-wage studies published between 1972 and 2007 measuring the impact of minimum wages on teenage employment in the United States. When they graphed every employment estimate contained in these studies (over 1,000 in total), weighting each estimate by its statistical precision, they found that the most precise estimates were heavily clustered at or near zero employment effects."
Doucouliagos and Stanley concluded, "Two scenarios are consistent with this empirical research record. First, minimum wages may simply have no effect on employment... Second, minimum-wage effects might exist, but they may be too difficult to detect and/or are very small." Here's their graph.
The MW does some good by reducing poverty. The claimed harm of the MW - increased unemployment - appears to be minor or nonexistent. Given that, not only should there continue to be a MW, but it should be moderately increased.
1) There are meta-studies that claim there is no effect of raising minimum wage on unemployment. There are meta-studies that claim the opposite. Given that the former claim is more counter-intuitive (after all, raising prices does generally reduce the demand), why should we trust it more than the latter?
2) Suppose modest raises of minimum wage indeed have weak effect on employment. How do we know it is the best way to lift people out of poverty? There are countries (e.g., Singapore and Switzerland) which have no minimum wage but have low unemployment, high standards of living and few people living in poverty. Should not we try to copy some of their policies instead?
1a) If one study finds "MW raises unemployment," and another study finds "no evidence that MW raises unemployment," then - all else held equal - we should not make policy decisions based on the belief that the MW raises unemployment. A finding that is not consistently supported by the best empirical studies, is not a reliable finding, and therefore not a good basis for policy.
1b) However, the paper you link to is a literature review paper, not a meta-analysis. There's a big difference. The meta-analysis I linked has MUCH more statistical power than any of the papers cited in the literature review, and therefore should be given more weight.
1c) The meta-analysis I linked to used much better methodology than most of the studies emphasized in the paper you linked.
By and large, the papers said to be "more reliable" in your review paper are making state-level comparisons: So if ... read more 1a) If one study finds "MW raises unemployment," and another study finds "no evidence that MW raises unemployment," then - all else held equal - we should not make policy decisions based on the belief that the MW raises unemployment. A finding that is not consistently supported by the best empirical studies, is not a reliable finding, and therefore not a good basis for policy.
By and large, the papers said to be "more reliable" in your review paper are making state-level comparisons: So if (for example) Oregon raises MW but Alabama does not, and if Oregon's unemployment rises afterwards, that is said to show that the minimum wage caused an increase in unemployment.
The problem with that is, the differences between Alabama and Oregon's economies are too numerous and difficult to quantify to be controlled for. In other words, garbage in, garbage out. What's needed is a comparison between two areas are are extremely similar other than having different minimum wages.
Better studies, including the meta-analysis I cited, look at two economically similar counties, located next to each other but in different states. Because neighboring counties will have much more in common than (say) Oregon and Alabama, this methodology is much less subject to spurious correlations.
1e) And although "generally" increasing price reduces demand, there are plenty of exceptions to this - for instance, if demand is inelastic, or if the quality of the supply is improved by increased price.
2a) It's not either/or. I believe we should advocate for multiple methods. This is especially true because poverty may have multiple causes, which are best addressed by multiple solutions.
2b) Pragmatically, keeping and raising the MW in the US is achievable. Other methods - such as the strong nationwide collective bargaining agreements which creates an effective wage floor in Switzerland - may not be achievable here, in the foreseeable future.
You are arguing in 1) that if there is empricial evidence pro and con (in equal measure) we can use the intuitiviness of claims as a tie breaker as to what to base our policies on. I don't find this compelling. If the emprical findings are inconclusive that means other methods of argumentation must be used not that the option with better prior wins.
Whenever possible we should base our decisions on real data rather than theoretical speculations. In this case the statistics from different countries shows no obvious benefits of adopting minimum wage. In fact, several countries with low poverty levels and very high living standards have no government mandated minimum wage. By contrast, countries with the highest minimum wages (relative to the GDP per capita) are among the world poorest.
Correlation does not imply causation. Richer countries have less need for minimum wage. How do you know it's not how rich the country is that causes the minimum wage and not the other way around?
Causality direction is indeed debatable. But while correlation does not imply causation, but the absence of correlation does imply the absence of causation.
I think, as a general rule, the burden of proof should be on those who want to create a new legal restriction rather than on those who oppose it. So if minimum wage laws are not correlated with any real positive effect, there is no reasonable justification for them.
The economic effect of minimum wage laws is divergence of the wealth of the lower classes -- some people will lose their jobs while others, whose employers are more compliant and less profit-hungry, can now rest assured about a stably higher wage. The key variable here is the elasticity of the demand for labour. If policymakers can reasonably get enough quantitative data on labour demand elasticity, then they should have the information necessary to estimate the expected net benefit of implementing a minimum wage. Right?
The minimum wage is a form of the Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics. If you employ a poor person, you are responsible for their poverty; if you had used a robot instead, or just not expanded your business, you'd have clean hands.
If we as a society don't want there to be poverty, we should take collective responsibility and help out via transfer payments/welfare/EITC/UBI.
On the other hand, there's some evidence the MW works better in practice than in theory.
But would not such payments also be a form of the Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics? Welfare payments go to poor people we can observe in our society, i.e. people that still have higher living standards than an average person in many developing countries.
I think it's a mix of group selfishness and Copenhagen ethics. To the extent it's the latter I oppose that too.
What is the relevant better course of action not taken?
If you employ a poor person he is not free to accept potentially better paying jobs. On the other hand if you use a robot the person is usable for other tasks.
A minimum wage could help get money for people who don't make much, but only by increasing the number of unemployed people who don't get anything at all. It also means there's less incentive for good working conditions, since any employees that leave may not be able to find jobs elsewhere.
If you want to make sure poor people have money, just give everyone some money.
Why could? There already a minimum wage in the US and most of Europe.
If this question is about whether a minimum wage should exist, it's about whether the present minimum wage should be removed.
Of course the fact that this comes up is because the question is vague. It would be better to have more precise questions.
I don't think that it's clear that removing the minimum wage at the height it has in the US or various European countries creates large amount of jobs.
I think minimum wage is usually below the market rate for untrained labor, so for all intents and purposes, it might as well not exist.
Minimum wage is a price floor. It increases the price of untrained labor, but it lowers the demand increasing unemployment. It also increases the supply, which means that there will be more competition from people who don't really need the job. It makes it difficult for people with less experience to get jobs, leaving them permanently unemployed. If you want to help the poor, just give them the money. This decreases incentives to get rich, so give everyone else money too. It's not really a big deal to give money to the people you're taking it from. And you don't have to give them enough to live off of. Just to make sure that, in addition to what they can earn, it's enough.
Unfortunately, an unconditional basic income isn't politically feasible. Not in the US at least. The choices are minimum wage and no minimum wage. I suppose I can try to change welfare a bit, but I don't think it will be sufficient. I don't know if minimum wage would be worth it. It's possible it would decrease the average income if you count the unemployed as getting zero. You'd have to know the elasticity of demand for untrained labor.
If you want to help the poor, just give them the money.
In the future, robots might make low-skill workers (and at some point even high-skill workers) redundant and this idea could become more feasible. For now, though, welfare system creates a demoralized underclass. Also, giving poor people money without any strings attached creates a long-term demographic problem. Due to differences in fertility rates, the ratio of welfare receivers to tax-paying population will increase at the exponential rate.
> For now, though, welfare system creates a demoralized underclass.
It always has and it always will. You can make the poor suffer less, or you can give them more incentive to work. There is no way to get both.
If you don't want to help the poor, then don't. Normally I'd consider this a perfectly good place to discuss that, but there's already another thread for wealth redistribution. The question here is, given that the government does decide to redistribute the wealth, is minimum wage the way to go?
You are assuming next to 0 social mobility. Last time I checked poverty wasn't that strongly heritable trait.
No minimum wage with all of the low earnes on public support is de facto really close to basic income. People have a base part that is not dependant on the place of employmjent and another part that is somewhat dependant on place of employment.
Public support discourages you to make enough money to get off of public support.
Greeks knew of steam machines. However as they had cheap supply to slaves they didn't see any economical applications to it. The industrial revolution had to wait for a time where those jobs were deemed too lowly for a man but fit for a machine. By setting a minimum wage we would in effect setting a bar on how trivial jobs humans are okay to be used for. If we don't seriously try to use a big part of the population for our species spesific trait of intelligence we will never properly tackle the details on how to make it work.
I don't think we have any problem in Western countries with lack of people trying to replace low wage labor with robots.
Even China invests a lot of resources into replacing low wage labor with robots.
When everybody was working in a farm involved in the production of their own food we didn't have unemployment.
If in Dwarf Fortress I have idlers it means I can start new megaproject. Idlers means excess working power. Unemployment is a resource and not a problem. When we free people from tedious manual labour they are free to pursue more abstract and desirable needs. But then we have to be okay with people using their time like that. The problem we are facing is that we are running out of reasons to hand over money to people.

Sitting on the couch all day understandably shouldn't net anyone much but it isn't much better to come up with busy work just for the jobs doer to get paid for it. It would be nice if the job actually accomplished something. If a person does a job with next to nothing in wages that is kind of like society being pretty ambivalent wheter that job gets done or not. So instead of setting people to do stuff that society is ambivalent about make people do stuff that society wants. However if the society survives if that job is not done and society doesn't want people to be bullied couldn't just letting that person be idle be an okay way of accomplishing that?
In a wealthy society it only needs needs very few people to work. A society that is too wealthy to involve everybody in basic survival will need some way how to make ammends or make the working and non-working population coexist. One way of solving is that the amount of work done is limited so that everybody can have a share. You could offcourse come up with new job descripton for example the non-wokring starting working on what the "primarily employed" dream about, such as having nice roads and all kinds of luxuries like that.
One strategy of fighting this alienation is to come up with new stuff that interest the more primarily worked that can use those that don't currently work. Or we can acknowledge that we care about including everyone more than distributing the work agreeably.
People should able to live decently via legimate income (as opposed to criminal income). It is good to use ones capability to further society. Having jobs where the main focus is to find an excuse to pay a wage to the worker is in danger of not really being a true benefit for anyone. But on the other hand it would not be good if market mechanics greated a position where people using their capability to further society didn't get an income to live a decent life.
There is a problem that a person that is only marginally embloyed often doesn't get official recognized as unemployed and loses unembloyment benefits but doesn't make enough money to support a lifestyle grander than with benefits. That is it doesn't make financial sense to accept job opportunities.
One solution I have seen proposed is that of basic income. Everybody is given enough money to maintain their bodily metabolism. If they accept any jobs on top of that it doesn't cause any of their benefits to be withdrawn. Then there is no pressure for a job to pay enough for a living and being jobful is always financially preferable to not taking a job. This makes small jobs make sense. If there is big minimum wage small tasks are supressed beyond financial compensation. Poor people would also not be tied to a wage-slave niche. Enterpreneours and those whos contribution is more indirect or takes a long time would be more free to try things out. However the basic pay should not be enough that it would be a satisfying experience.
If we are using a market to allocate our collective efforts it would be important to check that the market provides what we want from it.
If we are interested in letting everybody live a decent life based on their personal income then we ought to make sure that those kinds of jobs are available.
Now the issue is to know theorethically what would be a bad state of the economoy to have, then how to correctly detect it and how to effectively steer away from it.
If a person isn't making enough money to buy basic neccecities that surely is a good sign that the scheme isn't working for them. However that requires defining "basic neccecities" that is what can person be deprived and still be non-problematically poor. For example my goverment has recognised that in this day and age everybody ought to have reasonably priced internet connection. This has practical ramifications in having internet providers be required by law to only take similar level prices for people that live far from cities when the infrastructure to build it doesn't necceseraly make sense at the same price point (ie they would probably rather not have them as customers as it is awful lot of work for little to no gain or even loss). This offcourse raises city internet prices but its a value choice that cities will not get internet on the expense or regardless of the rest of the land.
I think nobody thinks that it would okay to leave somebody earn 0.01$ a full working day. However what is the lowest that is okay? The price level of the combined basic neccesities is one answer. Now the problem is that if somebody offers a full time job under that sum. Some might say that this will not get offered. However this means to argue why labour would be such a good that it didn't occupy ever this price level. Theorethically any good could be priced as anything given the right conditions. Why would the conditions for low wages never occur? One could also say that even if they did occur banning that economy state wouldn't do any good. Economics would still happen in that state and the question is how to best go about it. However markets tend to experiment with things. If things are allowed somebody will try it. That is one argument why to ban really low wages. We know that those will only result in outcomes that we don't want. So we don't want economies to grow on assumtions we are trying to eradicate. Then if we moved people away from underpaid jobs we would also have the additional problem of partial economical downsizing. In the same way opening a murder service is not an okay demand to try to meet even if there would be a demand to be met. We would like everybody to have basic neccesitites. If they have jobs that can't buy them then either they don't receive them or we have to get them otherwise than having them buy them for themselfs. Neither sounds terribly fun so just lets not go there.
Off course if the market tries to exploit humans at unaccetable prices you could try to fix it by having other activities than exploiting humans to be way more profitable. This is similar to that if people are stealing food maybe it's not a issue of people being immoral but that their metabolic needs are not being met. Thus beefing up police forces would just turn the search for calories even more brutal. On the other hand Rome chose to provide free entertainment and bread to keep the populace especially non-brutal. But who is responcible if the economy isn't efficient enough? Not all people establish their place of employment on the market. They rather walk in on a set table only then work waiting to be done with all the infrastrutuce to make it possible already in place. Whos responcibility is it to provide that infrastructure if it isn't there or it is underperforming? Does the person walking in on the table have a right to complain if the table is of poor quality? Do persons that have already found a place in a table have any responcibilitites to those that haven't?
I think nobody thinks that it would okay to leave somebody earn 0.01$ a full working day.
I don't think a pro-bono lawyer is doing anything wrong when he earns less than 0.01$ for a full working day. Money isn't the only reason to work.
No laywer does 100% pro-bono. They make their living in the non-pro-bono cases. I also understand that it's the decision of the laywer/their firm to take the case and whether to pro-bono it. It can be likened to volunteer work. Doing in profession volunteer work is good in that it benefits from specialization. But it still does fit my pretty general wording.
> However that requires defining "basic neccecities" that is what can person be deprived and still be non-problematically poor. For example my goverment has recognised that in this day and age everybody ought to have reasonably priced internet connection.
Do you agree with your government's claim?
> I think nobody thinks that it would okay to leave somebody earn 0.01$ a full working day.
But it's okay to leave somebody earning 0.00$ for a full work day?
> We know that those will only result in outcomes that we don't want.
So instead we'll wind up with outcomes we like even less, like them having no job.
> In the same way opening a murder service is not an okay demand to try to meet even if there would be a demand to be met.
I don't see your analogy. Murder is not okay whether or not anyone is paying you for it. Whereas working is perfectly okay, you just object to people working if they are being paid between $0.00 and the minimum wage (exclusive).
> Off course if the market tries to exploit humans at unaccetable prices you could try to fix it by having other activities than exploiting humans to be way more profitable.
What do you mean by "exploit"? The poor person is better off taking the (low wage) job then not taking it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it.
I find it a good decision, yes. We can develop electronic social services that can drive down bureacrazy and there is no excuse that information or connection opportunities would be available.
For 0.00$ if you still have job duties you are essentially a slave. If you do not have job duties you can use your time for example food scavenging. Even in a urban environment it is quite likely that you end up with more nutrition with garbage diving than working to 0.07$ and then buying your food for a week. We don't think that garbage diving is a good use of humans and the louzy job is economically even more useless than that so clearly we need a better use for people, right?
Even if you are a slave you usually are provided nutrition, some rudimentary healthcare and accomendation. If you have a bad job and have to in addition to provide yourself with nutrition, apartment and healthcare ... read more I find it a good decision, yes.

Even if you are a slave you usually are provided nutrition, some rudimentary healthcare and accomendation. If you have a bad job and have to in addition to provide yourself with nutrition, apartment and healthcare you can end up being materially worse off than a slave.
I am saying that there are other factors rather than the ask price on whethewr you should do a job offered or not. Accepting jobs that don't sustain you can fall out of a way of life where people particiapte in society by working (you can isolate yourself form the majority of society by not being able to reach its services). There are legimate reasons to reject market prices.
If a person makes a product in one day for which his salary is 0.01$ and the company sells it for 10$ the deal is hugely favouring the company. Someone might also think that they can outcompete other workers by settling for less salary and cut into his nutrition, health care etc to make the difference. This can end in a race to the most miserable existence possible. At some point a persons accepts into working conditions that result in too little salary to be able to maintain the imagined lifestyle. For really crappy working conditions it should be rejected by everyone that can read. Deals like signing off your first born baby. That some sucker goes and accepts that kind of deal doesn't mean he made the right choice. In some economic theory you define the better choice as the preference revealed by the choices. Then it becomes circular whether a person is better off. If people do it it is the right choice, if people don't do it it's the wrong choice. Saying that living throught any kind of slave-like life for 0.01$ is always worth it is saying there is a really really good store around with really really good goods or that anything that can't be bought is worth nothing. A person with such beliefs is likely to be naturally selected against throught drowning as he sees no reason to secure his oxygen supply or resist any employment terms that threaten it.


The most treatment people do when dealing with chronic sinus infection is taking a course of antibiotic. What many people don't know is that these drugs could actually make the underlying problem become even worse.
You may be confuse about this fact. How can a drug use to treat the sinus infection aggravate the problem? The reason is because antibiotic kills all bacteria in your nasal passages, including the good one. The nasal cavity needs the good bacteria to protect it against the buildup bacteria. So if there's no good bacteria left, means nothing left to protect the nasal passage.
To solve this problem, Dr. Mas Takashima, the director of Sinus Center at Baylor College of Medicine is developing new therapies with the purpose of reducing symptoms and also fight the sinus infections. What surprising about the therapy is that it includes probiotic nasal rinse and baby shampoo sinus irrigation.
Takashima explain that the therapies are using ways in targeting bacteria that have never been used in the past. He also said that the technique can help people with chronic and acute sinusitis. He continues by saying how the patients were surprised when he first told them about the therapeutic protocols but in the end, they got the result they need.
How Do The Therapies Work?
Takashima explains that baby shampoo irrigation concept is aiming to clean up the nasal cavity with surfactant. The shampoo will break the oily layers which prevent the bad bacteria from being wiped away. This is a barrier that cannot be penetrate by a regular saline irrigation. Surprisingly baby shampoo can do it.
Takashima said that it actually work the same way as how the children wash their hand with soap to clean bacteria from their hands. So actually the concept can also be applied in sinuses.
To get the most effective result, every 8 ounces of saline must contain a half teaspoon of shampoo. You can make your own saline by mixing 1 rounded teaspoon of baking soda with 3 heaping teaspoon of salt and store it in a small Ziplock bag. You can then add half teaspoon of baby shampoo and 1 teaspoon of the mixture you made before to 8 ounces of lukewarm distilled or boiled water.
You can use infant nasal bulb or a rubber earbud syringe to draw the solution, then flush your nostril with it gently.
Add a probiotic rinse to prevent recurrence and replenish the healthy bacteria. You can use the same instruction to create a saline solvent. The difference is, you will be adding a probiotic capsule's content into the solution instead of baby shampoo.
Takashima said that he realized that something happened that cause a change in patient's ability to fight sinus infection after hearing the patients told him that they were having trouble to shake the sinus even after a multiple course of antibiotic.
He said probiotic can be really helpful to replenish the good bacteria. It also useful to prevent the bad bacteria from coming again and infected the sinuses.
Since there are many different cause of sinus infection, Takashima advice to consult to the doctor before trying the irrigation at home. That way, you can make sure that you are treating the right cause.

October 26, 1926 – E.L Cord acquires Duesenberg
Self taught master mechanics and brothers August and Fred Duesenberg used their skills to build fantastic race cars and engines in the early 1900s. In 1913, the pair opened their first independent auto shop in St. Paul, Minnesota. They quickly gained a reputation for building winner race car engines. One feat that cemented their legacy came in 1923 when Jimmy Murphy became the first American to win the French Grand Prix. He did some from behind the wheel of a Duesenberg powered car. This win helped the struggling passenger car division of Duesenberg survive, but it proved to be not enough.

Cord acquires Dusenberg as part of Auburn
Just two years prior to that GP, the brothers introduced the Duesenberg Model A, the first series production car from their company. Despite being the first car to be mass produced with a straight 8 engine, the brothers quickly discovered they were much better engineers than salesmen. Businessman E.L. Cord saw the potential in the company and the brothers behind it, even if sales lagged. He struck a deal. When Cord acquires Duesenberg on this day in 1926, he makes it part the Auburn Automobile Company, which is under his control. Though Cord would reinvent the company as a leader in luxury throughout the 1920s and early 30s, the Great Depression would kill the marque. The final complete Duesenberg, along with the last Auburn and Cord, left the factory in 1937. At the time, a new Duesenberg cost around $25,000. In 1937, a new Ford could be had for under $1,000.
