Q: How to fix "java.lang.NullPointerException: null" when doing MSSQL to BigQuery in Cloud Data Fusion I'm working on a Cloud Data Fusion POC, and I'm attempting to create a MSSQL to BigQuery pipeline. The connection works due to the fact that I'm able to import my schema from a query, however, I'm getting a MapReduce Program "phase-1" failed with a java.lang.NullPointerException: null exception
I've already attempted to use the generic database source and sink,as stated in this question Getting Null Pointer Exception when mapping SQL Server Database to MySQL Database with MapReduce The import query is also already specified.
Here's the full stack trace

Premier Talent
Guest Superstars
The Twenty Greatest Tag Teams in PCW History!
We have assembled a committee of experts, insiders, observers & competitors to help put together this list of the very best PCW tandems of all time. As of this writing, there have been 50 tag team championship reigns by 35 different duos, making the cut-down to only twenty a very difficult process.
Our criteria is simple and measured the following:
- Quality of Reign (length, total defenses, quality of opposition)
- Tag Team-iness (synergy, success, longevity)
- Individual Talent (talent/success of team members)
- Historical Significance
One caveat, to be included on this list, teams must have won the PCW Tag Team Championship so worthy duos such as Assisted Suicide or Kenny Omega & Nate Hardy do not qualify.
Of course, this is simply our list and yours might be different so don't beat us up too badly if you disagree. Discuss, have fun & enjoy!
Tag Sciences Faculty
Mike Angels & Chad Tatum
There was a strong consensus among our team of expert observers and analysts that Tag Sciences Faculty would occupy the number one spot on this list.
Together, "Priceless" Chad Tatum & Mike Angels held the PCW Tag Team Championship on three separate occasions for a cumulative total of 518 days, good for second on the all-time days-as-champion list. Their third and final reign clocked in at an impressive 350 days.
They had exceptional longevity as a duo with championship reigns that spanned a decade. And would be considered by most to be a pure tag team with undeniable synergy combining athleticism and hard-hitting with a unique collective persona that made them both hated and beloved over their career.
Outside of Tag Sciences Faculty, both men had success in other tag teams. Most impressively, Tatum was a member of Assisted Suicide with Rawskillz. That team held several championships in the CWF and TRCW before entering PCW where they had a jaw-dropping Ladder Match against Perfect Balance at Commencement of Cool. Their 2007 reunion saw them engage in many incredible bouts with the best duos of the day and narrowly miss capturing a PCW Tag Team Championship.
Angels was an early member of the legendary Team Impact in the CWF and entered PCW teaming with Dean Richtor as The Regulators where they had a great feature match at the initial Boiling Point against Kenny Omega & Mentallo.
Individually, both men rank among the greatest singles competitors in PCW history. Both Tatum & Angels were PCW Heavyweight Champion & Canadian Champion. Angels had a fourth PCW Tag Team Championship reign with his manager Vinko while Tatum held the PCW Junior Heavyweight Championship making him one of only three Grand Slam Champions.
Not to be forgotten, in the early days of the duo, they were guided by their manager, Vinko The Ukrainian Sex Machine. Undoubtedly, Vinko contributed in large part to their success.
Tag Sciences Faculty are the greatest tag team in PCW history!
Kenny Omega & Chris Stevens
What more needs to be said about this duo than they held the PCW Tag Team Championship three times for a total of 448 days (and 1.5 hours), two of the top five longest reigns of the Monthly Show Era and one of the team members happens to be the best wrestler on the planet?
Kenny Omega & Chris Stevens combine talent and personality in a way rivaled only by our number one duo on this list, Tag Sciences Faculty. When The Experience appears, fans know the match will be exceptional, dramatic, hilarious and highly entertaining!
Stevens may be over-shadowed by his famous partner but he more than holds his own as an in-ring talent. Considered by many to be the best wrestler never to win the heavyweight championship, "The Canadian Idol" was a top contender from the day he debuted with PCW.
Trained by Don Callis, Stevens had memorable matches and feuds with a plethora of opponents. He was also a part of another tremendous tag team, The Dynasty, where he and Ronnie Attitude had a brief reign as champion.
For his part, Omega excelled in tag team wrestling almost as much as singles competition. He was a member of excellent duos with Mentallo, Nate Hardy & Rawskillz, where, as The Dream Team, they won the PCW Tag Team Championship.
Kenny held the PCW Heavyweight Championship a record-setting four different times, including a mind-blowing (and record) 1085 days. While competing in PCW, Omega signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling where he held the IWGP Junior, Intercontinental, United States and World's Heavyweight Championships.
The Experience are the second greatest tag team in PCW history!
Team Impact
Anderson Tyson Moore(ATM) & "Showtime" Robby Royce
As difficult as it might be to believe, Team Impact being rated at Number Three on the list of Greatest Tag Teams in PCW history might be the most controversial selection due to how low they appear.
It's true that Team Impact has been synonymous with tag team excellence for over two decades and its widely believed that this incarnation - "Showtime" Robby Royce & ATM - are the best of the various combinations.
Royce & ATM held the PCW Tag Team Championship a record-setting four times for a 383 total days. Their initial reign kicked off PCW's Monthly Show Era and might have been their most impressive as they defeated such talented duos such as M-Assignment, Southern Comfort, Assisted Suicide, Omega & Hardy and more.
Their team synergy and pure tag team-iness is unparalleled and their success as a duo crossed promotional bounds.
Individually, Royce is considered one of the greatest wrestlers ever to grace Manitoba's wrestling scene. With multiple heavyweight championships in the CWF, RME, ICW, TRCW & CWE to go along with his two PCW Heavyweight Championships and the NWA North American Championship (for which he defeated Steve Corino to ignite their decade-long feud), there aren't many better resumes in the game.
ATM, trained by Don Callis, had a 154 day reign as PCW Canadian Champion before joining CWE and winning their Heavyweight title.
Remarkably, Team Impact appears on this list three different times but the common denominator in all three selections is the inclusion of Royce who would rank highly on any list of best individual tag team wrestlers.
Team Impact - Robby Royce & ATM - are the third Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
The Whoresmen
Chris Raine & "Mr Amazing" Shaun Houston
Perhaps unfamiliar to many current PCW fans, The Whoresmen - "Mr Amazing" Shaun Houston & Chris Raine - are undeniably one of the greatest duos of all time.
They are two-time former PCW Tag Team Champions for a total of 238 days, all of it during PCW's Weekly Show Era. They had more successful title defenses than almost any other team and faced more past or future Heavyweight Champions in tag team competition than perhaps any other duo.
At times, their supreme confidence made them hated. At other times, their incredible athleticism made them fan favorites. For a time, even as the men boo'ed, women would fight each other for the opportunity to climb in the ring an experience The Amazing Moment - rubbing lotion all over Houston's body!
Raine & Houston were best friends since childhood and that gave them a synergy unlike most other teams. But both men moved seamlessly between tag team wrestling and singles matches.
Raine also held the PCW Canadian Championship, most impressively doing so while also holding the PCW Tag Team Championship, making him the first dual title holder in company history.
Houston defeated Rawskillz to capture the PCW Junior Heavyweight Championship during the golden age of that title and had a second PCW Tag Team Championship reign with "Red Hot" Ryan Wood in 2008.
They were also key members of the Four Whorsemen, a Shane Madison-led super-clique that dominated PCW for a time.
The Whoresmen are the fourth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
Team Flex Appeal
Mike McSugar & Michael Clark with Vinko
Team Flex Appeal hold the all-time record for longest PCW Tag Team Championship reign of 545 days, all the more impressive since it was their one and only time as champion. The next three teams on the all-time cumulative days list required multiple reigns to even approach Flex Appeals incredible mark.
Perhaps even more impressive, McSugar & Clark were the High Impact Wrestling tag team champions when they defeated the London Dynasty to capture the PCW Tag Team Championship and the GoldDragon Tag Team title, the first duo to hold three championships simultaneously!
Team Flex Appeal defended their championships all over Central Canada. Their tag team prowess is almost unmatched and they were one of the most popular tandems in PCW history.
As individuals, both men have won numerous championships across Canada.
In Manitoba, Flex Appeal was represented by Vinko, The Ukrainian Sex Machine. Incredibly, Vinko appears on this list as manager of the #1 and #5 duos.
Team Flex Appeal is the fifth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
"Vicious" Donny Dicaprio & "Playboy" Will Damon
MVP - "Playboy" Will Damon & "Vicious" Donny Dicaprio - might be the most historically significant tag team on this list that far exceeds their obvious success.
With a PCW Tag Team Championship reign of 280 days, their inclusion on this list is a no-brainer. But it's their accomplishments before winning the gold that truly set them apart.
When professional wrestling went from the child-oriented community centre era to the high drama, high athleticism smart adult era it was for two reasons - 1) Team Impact tearing the house down at Le Rendezvous and 2) MVP tearing the house down at The Palladium Nightclub.
As far as legendary and important venues to local wrestling go, there might be none greater than The Palladium which was widely referred to as The House that MVP Built.
Damon & Dicaprio's rare-for-the-time combination of professional look, physiques, attire and presentation made them the clear draw for a new era of wrestling fan. And it was on their backs that PCW was formed as they, along with the incredible junior division, drove the early success of the company.
With MVP partner "Mecca" Shane Madison, they one of the greatest super-cliques of all time.
Dicaprio would add a second PCW Tag Team Championship to his resume with partner Rawskillz as The Elite. Damon would add a second reign with tag team partner "Sweet" Bobby Schink in 2018!
Individually, Dicaprio was a perennial contender for every singles championship and became one of the most decorated grapplers, wrestlers and MMA fighters from the local wrestling community with several appearances in major tournaments around the world.
Damon would add a PCW Heavyweight Championship to his long list of accomplishments in addition to main eventing PCW's debut event, Commencement of Cool, against "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero, an event that still holds the modern Manitoba Indy Wrestling attendance record of over 1700 fans.
MVP is the sixth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
Mentallo & Antonio Scorpio
Two of the most decorated singles competitors in PCW history combined forces to form one of the most successful Tag Teams of all time!
Mentallo & Antonio Scorpio are two of only three Grand Slam Champions in PCW history - holders of the PCW Junior, Canadian, Tag Team & Heavyweight Championships. That historic honor cements their individual legacies in the annals of history.
But to be a truly great tandem, two singles must form a cohesive, synergistic and successful tag team. Mentallo & Scorpio did just that.
With two PCW Tag Team Championship reigns for a combined length of 182 days, they certainly qualify, especially as their reigns came during PCW's Weekly Show Era.
On top of that, their greatest accomplishment might not have been the championships, but what they did with them - their first reign came as PCW was invaded by rival CWF. Mentallo & Scorpio stepped up to defend the company against the likes of Ernie Todd, Rob Stardom & the legendary "Pitbull" Kerry Brown!
Their tag team resume also includes a third reign by Mentallo, teaming with Tyler Colton and a third by Scorpio teaming with Nate Hardy.
Mentallo & Antonio Scorpio are the seventh Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
Rawskillz & "Vicious" Donny Dicaprio
What happens when you take two members of legendary tag teams and put them together? You get The Elite - Rawskillz & "Vicious" Donny Dicaprio!
In early 2005, Robby Royce assembled a super-clique to rival even his own Team Impact, bringing Antonio Scorpio, Rawskillz & Dicaprio together as The Elite squad.
Skillz & Dicaprio quickly won the PCW Tag Team Championship from the Whoresmen and held them for an impressive 103 days!. Individually, both men were well known for their in-ring talent and there was perhaps no two better technical masters on this list.
Rawskillz is widely considered the most decorated champion in PCW history with a plethora of championships including three PCW Junior championships, two PCW Heavyweight Championships, the man who unified the PCW, ICW, TRCW and NWA Canadian X Division Championships and retired the Open Rules title.
Rawskillz was the top guy during arguably the top period for PCW.
He won three PCW Tag Team Championships with three different partners, none of whom was Chad Tatum, his partner in the legendary Assisted Suicide. Undeniably, Skillz was one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time.
Dicaprio added a long reign as PCW Tag Team Champion with Will Damon in MVP and, most importantly, helped make history in 2001 & 2002 as the ascension of hard-hitting, athletic, dramatic wrestling that appealed to an adult audience was largely due to the work of MVP.
The Elite are the eighth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
The London Dynasty
David London & Leo London
The current PCW Tag Team Champions, as of this writing, the London Dynasty - brothers Leo & David - have held the gold a record four different times for a cumulative total of 238 days!
Perhaps hurting their standing somewhat is the fact that two of the four shortest reigns belong to the London's, including a shocking 3 minute PCW Tag Team Championship reign, the result of a Golden Ticket cash-in by "Sweet" Bobby Schink.
But they've been one of the most prolific tandems of the Monthly Show Era, often meeting and defeating the very best teams including Kenny Omega & Chris Stevens, Tag Sciences Faculty, Team Flex Appeal and Blaze & Dick.
Individually, Leo & David are talented but have been primarily a unit. As brothers, their synergy and cohesiveness is unmatched. They've competed all over Central Canada and held various tag team championships.
Impressively, Leo has a fifth PCW Tag Team Championship reign with James Beaver and a non-title victory over PCW Heavyweight Champion Jackie Lee!
Mostly hated by the fans, the London's are committed to winning at all costs. Not just sneaky, Leo & David are sneaky good, often rising to their level of their opponents and the challenge at hand. They're consumed with being recognized as the greatest duo of all time and are intent on rising on this list.
The London Dynasty are the ninth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
The Old School Outlaws
"King of Old School" Steve Corino & "Outlaw" Adam Knight
Any time a tandem includes a multiple-time former World's Heavyweight Champion, they will rank highly. Combine that with a veteran the calibre of "Outlaw" Adam Knight and you've got one of the best tag teams of all time.
The Old School Outlaws - Knight & Steve Corino - defeated the top two tandems on this list to capture the PCW Tag Team Championship! Though Corino's intense schedule prevented them from making many defences, their reign of 364 days is second only to Team Flex Appeal's record-setting mark of 545.
Synergistically, Knight & Corino wrestled a similar style, hit similarly hard, moved similarly fast and embraced an old school mentality.
Individually, they are almost unmatched on this list. Corino is a former ECW, NWA & AWA World's Heavyweight Champion to go with his slew of titles from a career that spanned the globe.
Knight is undoubtedly one of the most revered wrestlers ever produced by the Canadian Independent scene holding numerous titles including the TRCW, CWE and PCW Heavyweight Championships. He held the PCW Canadian Championship twice and won the tag team title two other times with partner "Enforcer" JP Kaos!
Had Knight & Corino been able to team more frequently, the sky was definitely the limit for a tandem with the chance to be an international revelation.
The Old School Outlaws are the tenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
The Suicide Kings
Nate Hardy & Marty Labossier
If victory is only as sweet as the thrill of the chase, the Suicide Kings - Nate Hardy & Marty Labossier - had two very sweet reigns as PCW Tag Team Champions!
Nate & Marty were initially dismissed as simply young pretty boys, but their intense feud with Team Impact throughout 2008 & 2009 showed them to be as tough as anyone. They engaged in several hardcore matches, TLC and multi-man contests and faced some of the very best, including a thrilling match that included Kevin Owens & Sammy Zayn!
Their 267 days combined as champions is good for sixth all time on the cumulative list and their first reign of 204 days is the 9th longest in history.
The young Labossier learned quickly from Hardy and they two combined speed, agility and quick striking.
Individually, Nate was one of the best homegrown superstars in PCW. He won the Canadian Championship on three separate occasions, a record he holds with Jay Walker, and competed for the PCW Heavyweight Championship several times.
Hardy also teamed extensively with Kenny Omega, forming one of the best duos to never capture the gold as well as forming a great young tandem with Jon Cutler.
The Suicide Kings are the eleventh Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
"Showtime" Robby Royce & Darren "The Bomb" Dalton
The second of three entries on this list for duos named Team Impact, that amazing fact proves the super-clique was one of the all time greats.
This incarnation of Team Impact - "Showtime" Robby Royce & Darren "The Bomb" Dalton ran roughshod over PCW when they held the Tag Team Championship for 105 days during the Weekly Show Era!
Dalton & Royce had one of the highest successful title defence counts on the list, routinely beating such notable tandems as Assisted Suicide, The Big Sexy Beats, various incarnations of M-Assignment, Shock & AWE and many more!
Closer than brothers, the two veterans had long been a unit, dominating the CWF & TRCW before conquering PCW.
Dalton had another tag team reign with partner Spyder while Royce won the PCW gold 7 times with four different partners, an unparalleled feat. In addition, both men had multiple tag title reigns in many promotions over the years.
As singles competitors, Royce is one of the best ever, holding the PCW Heavyweight Championship twice to go with numerous ICW, TRCW, CWF and CWE titles and defeated Steve Corino to capture the NWA North American Championship!
Dalton teamed with Adam Knight in the main event of the inaugural Boiling Point, facing the legendary Road Warriors in front of over 1200 fans! He was a perennial top contender to the PCW Heavyweight Championship throughout his career.
Team Impact - Robby Royce & Darren Dalton - are the twelfth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
"Enforcer" JP Kaos & "Outlaw" Adam Knight
Perhaps one of the more unlikely duos on the list, "Outlaw" Adam Knight & "Enforcer" JP Kaos formed Southern Comfort and quickly became one of the best duos in PCW History!
They exploded into the history books by beating Team Impact for the PCW Tag Team Championship in a Total Annihilation Match, their first of two reigns for a combined total of 112 days.
Together, they employed a style best described as speak softly and kick ass. While Knight held the PCW Tag Team Championship on a third occasion with Steve Corino, Kaos quietly became one of the most prolific tag team wrestlers ever. "The Enforcer" won five PCW Tag Team Championships with four different partners, one of the most impressive accomplishments of all time.
Individually, Knight was one of the greats, capturing the PCW Heavyweight Championship and Canadian Championship twice each, as well as holding the top gold in TRCW and CWE.
Kaos was a two-time former PCW Canadian Champion and challenged for the heavyweight title several times.
Southern Comfort are the thirteenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
William Jennings Blaze & Richard Blood
Fans were shocked when, on July 16th 2016 Billy Blaze & Dick Blood attacked Team Flex Appeal, signalling their invasion into PCW!
In very short order, Blaze & Blood established themselves as one of the all-time great duos, making history and leaving a trail of broken bodies in their wake.
When they won the PCW Tag Team Championship, they went on a quest for belts across Canada, simultaneously holding four different promotions' titles. Their 210 day reign as PCW champs was the 7th longest reign of all time.
As a duo, their success across promotional bounds is almost unmatched. Individually, the both had success as singles competitors, Blood holding the RME Heavyweight Championship several years ago and Blaze competing for numerous championships.
Billy Blaze & Dick Blood are the fourteenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
Perfect Balance
Moses Luke & The Big O
Perfect Balance - Moses Luke & The Big O - would be deserving of recognition on this list simply by virtue of the historical nature of their accomplishments. But they were so much more than that.
As one of the feature duos in TRCW in 2001, Perfect Balance helped create the scenario for PCW's creation. Moses & O were original invitees to PCW and it was no surprise when they won a battle royale to become the first ever PCW Tag Team Champions!
While their initial reign was only 14 days, they quickly regained the titles for their second reign and finished with a cumulative total of 70 days as champion.
One of the longest-tenured duos, the opposites-attract nature of Moses & O gave them a unique synergy.
Luke would earn two other PCW Tag Team Championship reigns, one with Sabertooth and one with EZ Ryder as well as being a former RME Champion.
Perfect Balance are the fifteenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
The Big Sexy Beasts
Kevin Chevy & AJ Sanchez
The Big Sexy Beasts - AJ Sanchez & Kevin Chevy - burst upon the local scene as mainstays of River City Wrestling. Combining huge size with jaw-dropping agility, they did moves in the ring that men half their size could't do.
Their 49 day reign as PCW Tag Team Champions was exemplified by victories over such tandems as Southern Comfort, Team Impact and more! The BSB's promising reign came to an abbreviated end when they were stripped of the gold after Chevy was dismissed.
When they returned to PCW, they went their separate ways. Sanchez became one of the best singles competitors in the Province, setting a then-record as PCW Canadian Champion and adding a PCW & CWE Heavyweight Championship to his resume as well.
Chevy would form an excellent team with "Stefan Epic" Don Douglas, capturing the PCW Tag Team Championship as the Fabulous Creebirds.
The Big Sexy Beasts are the sixteenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
Los Aprendices de Mentallo
Nate Hardy & Antonio Scorpio
The commonality between Antonio Scorpio & Nate Hardy was that they were the first two students to train with PCW and were trained by Mentallo, adding a heavy weight of pressure to two young men with skys-the-limit potential.
And reach those lofty goals they certainly did.
Their 77 day reign as PCW Tag Team Champions might have been relatively short but boasted impressive victories over Southern Comfort, Team Impact and the Fabulous Creebirds!
From their time training together, Scorpio & Hardy knew each other well and worked together expertly. Both men had two additional tag team titles on their resumes, Nate with Marty Labossier and Scorpio with Mentallo.
Both men were former PCW Canadian Champions and Scorpio also held the PCW Heavyweight Championship and Junior Championship, making him a rare Grand Slam Champion and one of the most decorated competitors in the history of the promotion.
Nate Hardy & Antonio Scorpio are the seventeenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
Rawskillz & Kenny Omega
The sum of the parts of this tandem were two of the most decorated wrestlers in PCW history! Put them together and you have a Dream Team - Kenny Omega & Rawskillz!
The team they beat, the Whoresmen, were insistent that no "makeshift tag team" could defeat them, but the abundance of talent on the Dream Team propelled them to victory.
Omega & Skillz held the PCW Tag Team Championship for 42 days, defeating MVP (Dicaprio & Madison), Nate Hardy & Mask of Honor and others before losing the gold back to Shaun Houston & Chris Raine.
The championship resumes of Omega & Skillz are almost too long to mention.
As tag team wrestlers, Omega would add four additional titles with partner Chris Stevens while Skillz would end up as a three-time PCW Tag Team Champion, holding the gold with three different partners.
Individually, Skillz was considered the most decorated champion in PCW history, holding the Heavyweight Championship twice, the PCW Junior Championship three times, the NWA Canadian X Division title, the Open Rules Championship and unified the PCW, TRCW & ICW Heavyweight Championships!
Omega simply became the very best wrestler in the world.
His 4 PCW Heavyweight Championships is a record as is his single reign of 1085 days. He'd go on to dominate New Japan Pro Wrestling, capturing the IWGP Junior, Intercontinental, United States and World's Heavyweight Championships.
Singles glory kept Rawskillz & Kenny Omega from teaming for long, but had they remained a tandem, its likely they'd have shot to the top of this list.
The Dream Team is the eighteenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
"Enforcer" JP Kaos & "Showtime" Robby Royce
Incredibly, Team Impact makes their third appearance on this list, this time the incarnation of "Showtime" Robby R0yce & "Enforcer" JP Kaos.
Royce had responded to he and Alex Rain losing the PCW Tag Team Championship to Mentallo & Antonio Scorpio by recruiting Kaos in his effort to regain the gold. They accomplished that goal on March 25th 2004, holding the title for 63 days.
Their reign was a busy one with both men maintaining a singles schedule as well and having qualified for the tournament to crown a new PCW Heavyweight Champion. To that end, Kaos actually relinquished his spot in the tournament to "Outlaw" Adam Knight in return for Knight's help in ensuring Royce qualified.
The Outlaw/Enforcer relationship would later see them team up for two tag team championship's themselves.
Royce's accomplishments as a singles and tag team wrestler have been well documented but Kaos was often under-rated. He held the PCW Tag Team Championship 5 times with 4 different partners and added two Canadian Championship reigns as well.
Team Impact lost the title in May to The Whoresmen, ushering in the historic PCW careers of Shaun Houston & Chris Raine.
The Whoresmen are the nineteenth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!
The Fabulous Creebirds
Stefan Epic & Kevin Chevy
What happens when you take the less prominent member of two highly regarded duos like the Big Sexy Beasts and Shock & AWE? You get the Fabulous Creebirds, a team that, in many ways, surpassed the exploits of the aforementioned.
Stefan Epic (then known as Don Douglas) & Kevin Chevy were both former PCW Tag Team Champions with Danny Duggan & AJ Sanchez respectively but as the Creebirds, they defeated legendary tandem Assisted Suicide (Chad Tatum & Rawskillz) to capture the vacant gold on July 19th 2007.
The victory came less than three weeks after Epic and Chevy embarrassed Tatum in his hometown of Brandon, defeating him in a handicapped match and dishing out a severe beating.
The Creebirds held the championship for 98 days before being defeated by Team Impact (Royce & ATM).
Both men were primarily tag team wrestlers but Chevy was highly regarded as a shockingly athletic big man while Epic would go on to compete for the PCW Canadian Championship and become a renowned Podcaster as proprieter of the Ever Sick Podcast!
The Fabulous Creebirds are the twentieth Greatest Tag Team in PCW History!

Over 20 years of success in Prime Central London
Charles Peerless joined the Winkworth network in September 1993 and is now franchisee of Winkworth Paddington, Marylebone & Mayfair, West End and Clerkenwell. Through hard work, perseverance and support from his longstanding fantastic staff, Charles has enjoyed 20 years of success operating in Prime Central London.
Charles had been working as an equity trader in the city before he joined the Winkworth West End office as a negotiator in his early twenties. Exactly three years later in September 1996, the opportunity to purchase the West End office from the original franchisees arose, and Charles took it.
"I chose to start and continue to grow my businesses with Winkworth as I benefit from the instant credibility and brand recognition that comes with the established name," comments Charles. "I did start in the West End office in a recession, but with hard work and dedication coupled with support and advice from the franchisor, we survived that, and 2008!"
Eleven years later, in 2004, the already established Winkworth Clerkenwell office came up for sale, and as it bordered the West End territory, it seemed a natural fit for Charles to buy it. "My original goal when I first became a Winkworth franchisee was to eventually own several offices," he explains. "I didn't rush it though as it's important when buying or opening a Winkworth office that you know your area really well and that the areas you do own are going to complement each other."
Charles now had two successful sales and lettings businesses with Winkworth, but he really started to concentrate on lettings and management during the 2008 banking crash. So much so that he set up a separate service company with the Winkworth St Johns Wood franchisee in 2009 to run management. Charles is co-director and 50% shareholder of this company, which is still trading, and does the management not only for all of Charles' offices but also other London Winkworth offices too.
In 2013, Charles opened a cold start Winkworth office with co-franchisee Jason Borrows covering the Marylebone and Mayfair area. "With years of experience operating in Prime Central London from the West End office, I felt that expanding into Marylebone and Mayfair would enhance the service we could offer our existing clients and increase our reach for those looking in this specific area," explains Charles.
The Paddington territory became available in 2015 and Charles and Jason took it, opening premises on Leinster Terrace later that year. This means that today, Charles owns 45% of Winkworth's Prime Central London offices.
Looking to the future, Charles wishes to grow his portfolio of lettings and management. "Our portfolio is at a record level, but our goal is to double it in the next five years."
To potential franchisees interested in joining Winkworth, Charles comments, "The franchising route holds a lower risk level than starting on your own, however it's important to do detailed homework on the reputation and experience of the franchise you choose to join. "The support that Winkworth offer, coupled with the vast experience of the franchisees in the network is what makes the business a success, and for this reason I would only recommend Winkworth compared to other estate agency franchised operations."
If you would like to learn more about owning a Winkworth office and seeing just how successful you could be, why not get in contact with the new franchising team today.

We are reaching out to companies that make a difference in green home remodeling and construction. Years ago we created Sustainable Environmental Education (SEE), a 501 ( c ) 3 organization and our media outlet, Things Green. Back then we knew nobody knew what nobody understood the word sustainability, environmental nor green. But, in our vision we forecasted that one day those words will be better understood, embraced as a lifestyle along with being affordable. Just a few short years ago many components that go into a net-zero energy efficient home were too expensive. Now, the tide has turned and it's time to strike by creating a TV series for the most powerful viewing audience, the PBS family of viewers. The project is called Things Green-House.
In addition to the TV show that will air on PBS|KLCS TV a guarantee of two times then in random order in perpetual reruns we will be including you in our blog, social media (twitter, facebook and LinkedIn) and on our Amazon Prime channel, Things Green.

If you have someone on your staff that speaks Spanish, great! If not, no worries as we'll do our magic to make sure the audience understands. That's two different TV shows you'll be on!
The concept of what we are doing is pretty simple. We are building a 638 square foot second home with an 800 square foot bonus room and upgrading an existing 2500 square foot attached home in Whittier, CA. This way viewers will be able to retrofit their existing home and/or build a secondary home.
The amount of television time you receive is based on product and installation value. In the simplest of terms if you are donating flashing, we'll show your flashing on TV. If you are installing the flashing with your installers (or pay to have our installers do it) you get more TV time. Should you want to be interviewed there is a fiduciary obligation that must be met based on the value of the product and the installation. Finally, if you are a local company (southern California) we can work it out to come to your facility to show the manufacturing process as well.
Before we can go any further we need to know what it is you bring to the table. How involved do you want to get? What is the value of your product for the overall project? Are you going to install the product or do you need our contractor to do it? Once we have these questions, plus a few more, answered we'll be able to give you options to choose from.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT, PLEASE BE DETAILED IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW.

Assam Muslim bodies defy order to keep madrassas open on Fridays, govt not amused
India Kangkan Acharyya Dec 13, 2016 21:00:34 IST
New Delhi: The recent notification issued by the Assam government to keep all schools open on Fridays has resulted in a stand-off between the education department and Islamic organisations of the region.
The stand-off has provided the Congress with an opportunity which has been seen trying its best to flare the issue up by infusing secular versus communal debate.
Representational image of a madrassa in New Delhi. Reuters
A meeting held among Islamic leaders at Badarpur in Assam last Sunday, decided to defy the order that they perceive as infringing upon the rights of Muslims. The meeting decided to keep madrassas closed on Fridays and open on Sundays in contravention to the government order on the weekly holiday of schools.
The government of Assam in an order issued last week said that all schools under the state government are to remain open on Fridays and closed on Sundays in a bid to bring in uniformity in the weekly holiday system in all the schools under the government.
The order on holidays did not go down well with the Islamic organisations as madrassas have been following the tradition of remaining closed on Fridays to perform mass prayers.
Ataur Rahman Majharbhuyan, secretary of North East India Naduwa Tu Tamir, an Islamic organisation of the region told Firstpost that the meeting decided that madrassa students will not attend classes on Fridays and will sit in classes on Sundays.
"Even if the government opens the madrassas on Fridays no student will attend classes. If no madrassa teacher turns up on Sundays given the government order to remain closed on Sundays, the senior students of madrassas will teach the junior ones and will continue the classes defying the order," he said.
In the sidelines of the meeting, some students of a madrassa in Badarpur on Sunday flung open the doors of Deorail Title Madrassa marking the beginning of the movement.
Siddek Ahmed, former Congress minister, who was also present at the meeting threatened to take the issue to the high court if the government of Assam did not roll back its decision.
"In the last six months of BJP rule in Assam, we have noticed that Muslims have been denied the right to do business and get appointed in government jobs turning them into second class citizens of the country," he said without stating any empirical evidence as to which jobs and businesses have Muslims been denied and how.
Ahmed further added, "Now trampling upon the right to religious education of the Muslims the government has issued the weird notification to keep madrassas open on Fridays."
Maulana Fazlul Karim, general secretary of Jamiyat Ulema E Hind said that the BJP-led Assam government has issued this blanket order in violation of existing rule which says that madrassas will remain closed on Fridays.
"The order is passed to appear anti-Muslim. Madrassas remain closed on Fridays even in Gujarat, the home state of the Prime Minister, let alone Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Punjab," he said.
"Like madrassas even Sanskrit schools have a different rule for weekly holidays. Why the government is not compelling the Sanskrit schools to follow the same notification?" Karim asked.
Pranab Goswami, principal of a Sanskrit School in Assam informed told Firstpost that Sanskrit Schools do not follow the rule of having weekly holidays like other schools.
"We have holidays on every eighth day after full moon and new moon and next day after full moon and new moon. That way we have two holidays every fourth week," he informed when asked about the holiday system followed by Sanskrit schools.
But the resistance from the Islamic organisations did not go down well with the government that is keen to implement the order.
Ramesh Chandra Jain, secretary to the department of education in Assam said, "We have ordered the madrassa teachers that it will be difficult for them if they do not follow the order. So they have to fall in line."
When asked since Sanskrit schools have different rules for weekly holidays whether the new order is applicable to them also he said, "The rule is applicable to all schools. But Sanskrit schools do not remain closed on Fridays."
The stand-off between the weekly holiday of madrassas is likely to make an impact on the Uttar Pradesh assembly election.
Haider Hussain Bora, secretary, All India United Democratic Front said, "The question is not about politicising the issue, but about the rights of our fellow citizens to practice their religion."
He further questioned, "We are asking when Himanta Biswa Sarma was the education minister in the Congress regime he did not find any flaw about the weekly holiday system of madrassas. He found fault only after joining BJP. Does not this very fact signify that there is an intention to create differences in communal lines behind the order?"

Facebook has banned former US president Donald Trump for two years. File picture: Joe Raedle/Getty Images/AFP
Facebook bans former US president Donald Trump for 2 years
By AFP Jun 4, 2021
San Francisco, United States - Facebook on Friday set its ban on former US president Donald Trump for two years, saying he deserved the maximum punishment for violating platform rules over a deadly attack by his supporters on the US Capitol.
The two-year ban will be effective from January 7, when Trump was booted off the platform, and comes after Facebook's independent oversight board said the indefinite ban should be reviewed.
"Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump's suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols," Facebook vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg said in a post.
Facebook also said it will no longer give politicians blanket immunity for deceptive or abusive content at the social network based on their comments being newsworthy.
At the end of Trump's two-year ban, Facebook will enlist experts to assess whether his activity at the social network still threatens public safety, according to Clegg.

Trump is sliding towards online irrelevance. His new blog isn't helping
"If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded," Clegg said.
When Trump's suspension is lifted, he will face strict sanctions that could rapidly escalate to permanent removal from the social network for rule-breaking, according to Clegg.
"We know today's decision will be criticized by many people on opposing sides of the political divide," Clegg said.
"But, our job is to make a decision in as proportionate, fair and transparent a way as possible, in keeping with the instruction given to us by the Oversight Board."
Last month, the independent oversight board said Facebook was right to oust Trump for his comments regarding the deadly January 6 rampage at the US Capitol but that the platform should not have applied an "indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension."
Trump was suspended from Facebook and Instagram after posting a video during the attack by his fired-up supporters challenging his election loss, in which he told them: "We love you, you're very special."
The panel gave Facebook six months to justify why his ban should be permanent -- putting the ball in company chief Mark Zuckerberg's court and spotlighting weaknesses in the platform's plan for self-regulation.
Zuckerberg has stressed his belief that private companies should not be the arbiters of truth when it comes to what people say.

We gotta love a good improvised moment. When an actor can think of the perfect thing to do in a particular situation on the fly and have it be so awesome it ends up in the final cut. But sometimes improvising can take back their fellow cast members to the point of getting additional improvised reactions, quite often that has them break the illusion of acting if only for a moment. A lot of these moments come from actors busting out into laughter on set when a joke was said or an accident heard. Films like Saving Private Ryan and Good Will Hunting, both with Matt Damon, involved scenes where an improvised story would be told only to have unexpected laughter to be captured. The same could be said for the Usual Suspects, where the infamous line up scene ended up being entirely improvised for the better. The Fast and the Furious did this in their sixth entry, when Dwayne Johnson was able to get a hilarious reaction out of two of his fellow cast members for his improvised comeback. Comic book films like The Dark Knight and X Men: First Class also had great moments of improvisation that had their fellow cast members looking dazed and confused. Then there's cult films like Shaun of the Dead, which were full of amazing moments but seeing Simon Pegg burst into unexpected laughs with his buddy Nick Frost is equally entertaining. Then of course, there's the bone shattering moment in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. You'll understand what we meant by that one soon enough!


Please note that there will be a mandatory live emergency exercise at Land's End Airport on Wednesday 13th November 2013. This will commence at approximately 1000 hours and will involve a simulated aircraft incident.

School is VERY Important. I am sure you have probably heard every grown-up in your life tell you. But the honest truth is that schooling is an absolute fundamental step to a successful life. We sometimes take school and classes for granted. But we forget that by going to school you get a compressed crash course on the collective knowledge of mankind. By getting an education you "skip the line" and see further metaphorically by standing on the shoulders of giants who came before you. You are able to learn from the hard work, success, and failure of the billions of humans who came before you. Be it as a biologist, engineer or even a plumber, by going to school you rapidly learn in a few weeks what the people before you learned through many years experience.
With that I said I believe there comes a time in every person's life, no matter what stage of schooling you are at, that you feel unmotivated or feel a lack of focus. I know for me growing up as a teenager, I went through a phase where I did not appreciate school and did not do too well either. I would zone out in my core subject classes and overall just didn't care. Back then for me, motivational school quotes inspired me to persevere. Quotes can be very powerful so I thought I'd collect a set of my favorite school quotes in the hope that they will help you as much as they helped me.
Intelligence plus character that is the goal of true education. – Martin Luther King Jr.


Q: HOW IS I-LIPO DIFFERENT FROM VELASMOOTH AND OTHER PRODUCTS?
A: Other products are for cellulite reduction and skin tightening and do not affect fat cells. I-Lipo breaks down the fat cells directly and is truly a form of liposuction unlike other products on the market.
A: I-lipo treatments are structured into courses of eight. Your number of i-lipo treatments, however, is determined at your consultation and is based on your requirements and goals. We suggest two i-lipo treatments a week over four weeks to complete a full course of i-lipo treatments.
A: I-Lipo laser treatment takes just 20 minutes followed by a 10-15 minutes of infrared laser vacuum massage. The length of time for your post-treatment exercise to "burn off" the free fatty acids is determined at your consultation and is based on your requirements and goals from your i-lipo results.
A: I-Lipo Ultra+ can be used on both men and women and can treat most areas of the body except the female breast. As with any treatment, people with certain medical conditions should not use the i-Lipo Ultra+. Your i-Lipo Ultra+ practitioner will go through a full medical questionnaire and consultation prior to treatment to confirm suitability. I-Lipo is not recommended for patients that are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of malignancy, or have diabetes.
A: Yes. Independent clinical studies have shown i-Lipo to be completely safe with no side effects. The i-lipo laser simply triggers a natural reaction of fat cell release. The process does not cause any damage and cells remain intact, just smaller, giving immediate results. The i-lipo Ultra is FDA cleared.
Q: WHEN WILL I SEE MY I-LIPO RESULTS?
A: Often i-lipo results can be seen immediately and improve with every treatment. Over the course of eight i-lipo sessions, you can achieve dramatic reshaping of the body and reduction in cellulite.
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN I-LIPO & I-LIPO ULTRA?
A: The function of i-Lipo is to the reduce inches and encourage weight loss. It utilizes a cold laser to release fat from the fat cells. The function of i-lipo Ultra is to smooth the appearance of cellulite. I-lipo Ultra can also enhance the results of i-Lipo. I-lipo Ultra utilizes a vacuum which is combined with a cold laser.
Q: HOW MUCH DOES I-LIPO COST?
A: i-lipo cost is dependent on the area that is being treated. A free consultation can be scheduled with a doctor to discuss which areas should be treated and pricing for treatments at that time. I-Lipo treatments are sold individually or in packages.
Q: WHAT ARE I-LIPO PACKAGES?
A: Each area requires 8 i-lipo treatments. Each i-lipo session lasts approximately 1 hour from start to finish. Typically 2-3 i-lipo treatments are done in 1 week resulting in roughly a 3-4 week commitment.


The festive season is fast approaching, and chances are you'll..
The festive season is fast approaching, and chances are you'll be drawing up a list of the perfect gifts to give to friends and family. It's always a smart move to choose based on people's interests, and thankfully if you have a fitness buff on your list of recipients then there are lots of different directions you could go in. Here are the perfect festive fitness gifts to give this Christmas!
Whether the person is a complete beginner or is already a gym bunny, some sessions with a fitness trainer could help them to reach their goals. As well as giving advice for exercises and food choices based on their personal circumstances, a fitness trainer can really get them motivated.
It could be anything from one to ten sessions- or even more if you're giving this as a 'main gift' to a close loved one. Most people will get fantastic benefits from going to the gym, and just using the equipment that they enjoy. But a personal trainer can help them to take things a step further.
Martial arts makes for a fun and active hobby. It's a great cardio workout, strengthens muscles, improves flexibility and boosts mood. Plus, on a practical level it teaches you to defend yourself should you ever need to.
If you're looking for a fun, active hobby for a loved one then signing them up to some martial arts lessons could be a great choice. They might even decide to continue with the sport and keep on going, even after the gifted lessons have run out. Even if they don't, it could be a fun addition to their routine for a while, the chance to try something new and meet new people.
You can find home gym equipment at all kinds of price points, so if you're looking for a gift there's sure to be something within your budget. If they already have a home gym, it could be something that they're currently missing from it or have their eye on, anything from a stationary bike to a treadmill. Smaller items could be a weighted vest or hand weights.
This might not be directly linked with health, but something that most health fanatics will enjoy. A good playlist can make any gym workout, run or exercise that bit more pleasant. If they don't already have one, a music subscription such as Amazon Unlimited or Spotify would allow them to listen to whatever they wanted, right from their phone. You could pay for three, six or even twelve months depending on what you wanted to spend.
Anyone that's keen on exercising will be in need of sportswear. If you know their size, new sports clothes for the gym or for a sport they participate in will be a great, practical gift. Otherwise, accessories for their sport would also make sense, whether it's a racket, golf clubs, a hockey stick, ice skates or whatever it is they currently like to do. Again, these kinds of things come at all price points so work well as gifts regardless of your budget.
For smaller items and stocking fillers, think golf tees, tennis balls, sweat bands and sports socks. They're something that will always be needed and used, so you don't risk buying a gift that's just going to sit and collect dust.
If the person you're gifting to has been considering taking their love of health to the next level, an online course could make a wonderful gift and really give them the boost they need to get started. It could be anything from personal training to nutrition to life coaching. If they've mentioned anything, or you know what their ambitions are then you could go ahead and book something that would work for them.
Online health courses can be done in a totally flexible way, from home and in their spare time. So ideal even if they have a full time job, they can pick it up and do bits here and there when they've got a free hour. There are all kinds of price points for these sort of things, if you're going with a cheaper one you'll want to check that it's accredited if they will want to use it to move forward in their career.
Are you buying for a fitness buff this year? What will you be getting for them?


The Society was founded in England in 1840 by Mrs. Cornelia Connelly, née Peacock, a native of Philadelphia, U.S.A. who had become a convert to the Catholic Faith in 1835. The society was approved in 1887 by Leo XIII, and the rules and constitutions were confirmed and ratified by the same pontiff in 1893. The constitutions are founded on those of St. Ignatius. The principal object of the society is the education and instruction of females of all classes, whether in day-schools, boarding-schools, orphanages, or colleges for higher education. The religious undertake the instruction of converts, and visiting of the sick and poor, when these works do not interfere with the primary duty of teaching; ladies may be received into houses of the society as boarders or for the purpose of making retreats. The society is governed by a superior general whose ordinary residence is at the mother-house, Mayfied, England, and who is assisted by a provincial or provincials. America is at present the only province. The superior general is elected by a chapter consisting of representatives of the whole order and her term of office lasts six years.
The first house of the society was founded at Derby, England, in 1846, but the community was shortly afterwards transferred to St. Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex, at the advice of Cardinal Wiseman. Here the religious have since built a fine church and schools. The ruins of "The Old Palace", Mayfied, Sussex, with the farm adjacent were given to the Society in 1863 by Louise, Dowager Duchess of Leeds, nee Caton, one of the granddaughters of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. She also made over to Mrs. Connelly a farm in Towanda, Penn., and two thousand acres of land in Lycoming Co., on condition that a branch of the society should be established in America. Accordingly five sisters came over in 1862 and opened a school at Towanda. This undertaking proved unsuccessful, and the community was removed to Philadelphia, and settled in Spring Garden Street. Here they were put in charge of the academy and parochial schools in connection with the Church of the Assumption, whose rector, the Rev. C. Carter, befriended the society in America in every possible way. In 1864 he made over to the religious the house and farm of the old Quaker establishment at Sharon Hill, seven miles from the city of Philadelphia; and this became the seat of the novitiate and of a flourishing boarding-school. The society now numbers in England nine houses and many schools for all classes, and more than four thousand children are taught by the sisters in the city of Preston alone, in which city there is also a centre for the education of pupil-teachers. A college for the training of teachers of secondary schools was opened in Cavendish Square, London, in 1896 by invitation and under the special patronage of Cardinal Vaughan. A house has also been founded at Oxford. A convent of the order at Neuilly, Paris, shared the common fate of all religious houses in France, and was closed by order of the French Government in 1904. In America the society possesses houses in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Nebraska, and Wyoming.

Image caption The officers were attacked when dealing with a fight outside the Assheton Arms, Middleton
Three men have been charged after a police officer was punched and stamped on and her colleague was knocked unconscious.
The officers were on their way to another incident when they stopped to break up "a large fight" in Middleton, Greater Manchester, on Saturday.
The female officer was dragged to the ground and her male colleague was knocked out with a punch to the head.
Three men aged 23, 29 and 34 have been charged with violent disorder.
They were remanded in custody to appear before Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court later.
Both officers were taken to hospital but have since been discharged and are recovering at home, a police spokesman said.
The attack happened after "Mad Friday" - the last Friday before Christmas, which sees a spike in alcohol-related incidents, and has become one of the busiest days for the emergency services.

world, including in the Netherlands.
How are roads designed where you live ? Are planners still operating in the 1950s mode of trying to make space for ever more cars, or have they moved on to more modern road design methods which place emphasis on people ?
In the 1950s and 60s, cycle paths were removed in the Netherlands to make more room for cars, very much following the American lead model of building for cars, as represented by the photo on the left of Los Angeles, California in 1959. This was seen as aspirational across the world at that time.
However, following the oil shock of the early 70s and the Dutch all-time peak in road deaths in 1972 there was a change in policy followed by surge in the building of cycle paths, a renaissance of cycling and cities being designed for people more than for cars. This process continues to this day.
Note that this video has explanatory captions which are not visible on a mobile device. Play this video on a computer to read the captions and understand how the junction works.
Cyclists get two simultaneous in all direction green phases for each cycle of the lights and as a result this is a place where you can cycle both efficiently and safely.
A later blog post includes a video of riding through this junction.
On the other hand, look what happened just a few years ago where we used to live on a much smaller junction with far less traffic. In 2004, planners in Cambridge came up with the road junction design in the photo on the left. Cyclists and pedestrians in the bottom right hand corner were to use four different toucan crossings, each involving pressing a button and waiting, merely to get to the other side of Cambridge Road. On each of the islands they planned railings which would make use of the junction difficult, and the crossings don't line up, so crossing involves 6 right angle turns in confined space as well. It was so obviously bad that many people complained, including myself. The eventual outcome was that they built exactly what they'd planned, complete with all the crossings and right angle turns, as can be seen in the aerial photo of this area.
This is but one aspect of the design of the area that was complained about, all of which proved to be just as hostile to cyclists and pedestrians as it they were expected to be. This is design which merely pays lip-service to cyclists, can accommodate just a few, and is expected to be used by just a few. The Dutch don't do things like that.
So, what's going on in your back-yard ? Are your local planners still following dreams of the 1950s, or have they progressed ?
The photo at the top is from "The Book of Knowledge" encyclopaedia published in 1960. The original caption read: "Traffic Congestion in the United States. Though new roads, specially constructed to accommodate dense motor traffic, are continually being constructed in United States, construction can not keep pace with the rate at which additional vehicles are being put on the road. This photograph was taken on a motorway outside Los Angeles." It sounds to me that the writers of this encyclopaedia could already see that the writing was on the wall for this type of provision.

Type 1 Diabetics Need Affordable Insulin, Not "Innovation"
Insulin pens at the factory of the US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly in Fegersheim, eastern France, on October 12, 2015. US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly produces mostly insulin for the international market.

Mary O'Connor Mack,
It's nearly 2019, and people with Type 1 diabetes are dying from diabetic ketoacidosis. Akin to an 1800s time-warp, Americans with Type 1 are losing their lives for the same reasons they did back then: They lack a treatment. Of course, there is insulin now, but many have little access due to the manufacturers' exorbitant price hikes.
From 1996 to today, virtually unchanged analog insulins have increased in cost from $21 per vial to $300 per vial and higher, for reasons that can only be attributed to greed. A month's worth of insulin and supplies for the uninsured or underinsured can easily reach — or surpass — the cost of a monthly mortgage. There is no generic analog insulin equivalent, but instead mainly the relentless focus and pursuit of patent-extending delivery methods that are then being trumpeted disingenuously by the manufacturers as much needed innovation to serve patients.
Discovered in 1921 by Frederick Banting, Charles Best, James Collip and John Macleod, insulin remains the treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Regular injections are required to provide the essential hormone that a nonfunctioning pancreas can't make. We all need insulin to get glucose into our cells — provided either by a working pancreas or by injection. It's that simple. But the US government has done nothing to stop the price-gouging.
Paradoxically, while many folks with Type 1 diabetes are rationing to afford analog insulins, they are also volunteering their wearable insulin pump data to software companies, such as Tidepool, for example, who then sell that data to manufacturers for research and innovation.
Tidepool, an open-source, nonprofit organization, has created a free app for the diabetes community that aggregates patients' actionable data in real time, which includes detailed data visualization — all to more easily track and manage one's diabetes. People who use the app can share their data with their doctors, other researchers or anyone of their choosing. No doubt a useful tool, Tidepool states that 10 percent of its proceeds go to nonprofit altruistic projects that serve the diabetes community.
In May of 2017, Tidepool created the Big Data Donation Project in response to the request of device makers, researchers and innovators who intimated that they were "getting slowed down and sometimes stuck due to a lack of real-world data." Tidepool further explains on their website that "innovators have told us that using real-world data sets will help them innovate faster." In short, Tidepool predicts that patients' donated data to their big data project will lead researchers to key discoveries and insights into diabetes management. Discussion of discoveries and insights that would lead to affordable analog insulin prices is conspicuously absent.
Moreover, in February of this year, Tidepool entered into a partnership with insulin manufacturer Eli Lilly and specifically the Lilly Cambridge Innovation Center, which is developing "new and novel insulin delivery products." Eli Lilly can access Tidepool's Big Data Donation Project for a fee. Tidepool, though, states that they did not enter into the partnership lightly and are keenly aware of Lilly's pricing issues and "have engaged deeply with Eli Lilly on this topic."
Tidepool makes money selling patients' donated data. They encourage people to donate and perhaps convince many that donating their real-time data for innovation is a high priority. Simultaneously, they state that, "Our commitment is, first and foremost, to the diabetes community." The Type 1 diabetes community's primary need is access to affordable analog insulins; it is not innovation. There exists a glaring cognitive dissonance surrounding the absurd promotion of innovation acceleration when so many are currently priced out of the very basics needed for survival.
A month's worth of insulin and supplies for the uninsured or underinsured can easily reach — or surpass — the cost of a monthly mortgage.
Given their partnership — coupled with their statements of commitment to the diabetes community — Tidepool has a responsibility to compel Eli Lilly to lower their prices. Americans with insulin-dependent diabetes need affordable analog insulins first and foremost. If the Tidepool/Eli Lilly partnership continues without any insulin price corrections, patients should simply choose to no longer donate their data.
Tidepool states that the system is broken, but that they don't think it is entirely Eli Lilly's fault. Analog insulin costs between $3.69 and $6.16 a vial to make; it sells for more than 80 times that in the US, at $300 per vial and more.
In the reckless pursuit of unreasonable profits, the blame for unaffordable insulin absolutely rests with all the insulin manufacturers — of which Eli Lilly is one — and, based on history and the current Tidepool partnership, perhaps the one with the greatest obligation to drop their price. A hefty share of the blame can also be placed on insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers who work in tandem to keep prices high, while reaping the financial reward of manufacturers' lucrative rebates that are never passed down to benefit patients.
In 1923, the discoverers of insulin — Banting, Best, Collip and Macleod — sold the patent for $1 as a "gift to mankind" to the University of Toronto, which in turn gave the rights to Eli Lilly to mass produce, safely and affordably, for all. They've been successful with mass production and safety — but Eli Lilly's unethical prices are killing people and, so far, Tidepool is complicit in that.

Q: automatic silent provisioning and activation of our users in Docusign, via Salesforce We used JWT to create users automatically in Docusign, from Salesforce - this is working fine, the users are getting created in Docusign. We have claimed the email domains.
However, when these users try and generate documents (DocGen) or use eSignature (as themselves) they are asked to authenticate (we used the DocGen and eSignature managed packages). The users don't know their login credentials because the automatic provisioning process is supposed to activate their accounts automatically using the DS admin user of the account/organisation and/or with the integration key which has been setup with the following scopes - "organization_read group_read permission_read user_read user_write account_read domain_read identity_provider_read signature impersonation".
Any tips on how to get past this? We don't have SSO setup with Docusign (identity provider)?

A: Once the user_id being used to make the JWT calls was given full admin access it all worked fine and silent activation took place
Now when the new user logins to SF and tries to generate a new document (doc gen) or send a new document (eSignature) they are asked to 'Authorize' and consent the first time - there is no need for them to login.
