Law School: Florida State University College of Law, J.D.
In a nutshell, my passion has always been in public service. At the age of 18 I was working my first job as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) for the City of New Chicago, Indiana. I was only on the job for 6 months, when I was in the back of an ambulance delivering a baby. I went on to become a police officer in New Chicago; and after battling frost bite for a few years, I accepted a position as Deputy Sheriff with the Orange County Sheriff's Office. During my time there I was assigned to the Patrol Division, Fugitive Division and Tourist Policing Division; I received numerous awards and honors, which I am very proud of today.
I met a young woman recently at a hospital where a careless driver caused her to lose her unborn baby. The careless driver was clearly at fault, the insurance company for the careless driver never offered an apology or offered money to help with any medical bills. They only called and asked permission to inspect her car to make sure she was somehow not at fault for the accident. I met a husband and wife not long ago who were badly injured in a car accident. Their car was totaled and they were both out of work. The insurance company refused to pay for a rental car even though the accident was clearly not their fault. I talk with mothers and fathers, nurses and teachers, construction workers and police officers, people from all walks of life everyday who have been injured at no fault of their own– people who are looking for justice, fairness and help for the challenges they face each day after an accident.
In each of these conversations I'm reminded why I became a trial attorney: Everyday injury and accident victims need and deserve a champion, and I would be honored to be that champion for you!

Coming to Nairobi soon: Bank where you can donate your breast milk
By Amina Wako March 13th, 2019 2 min read
PHOTO | FILE
Pumwani Maternity Hospital will be the first facility in East Africa to have a state-of-the-art public human milk bank.
The facility will collect, screen, store and dispense human milk donated by nursing mothers who are not biologically related to newborns.
The milk will be given to newborns in neonatal units who can not access their mother's milk.
Construction of the facility will be funded by United Kingdom to a tune of Sh66.5 million through the Mother-Baby Friendly Initiative Plus (MBFI+).
British High Commissioner Nic Hailey revealed that the milk bank would be launched in April
"Once operational, the milk bank will help save the lives of the vulnerable babies such as those who are premature, orphaned or abandoned through the nutrition benefit of human milk," said Mr Hailey
So far, equipment has been delivered at Pumwani Hospital, including a pasteurizer.
Staff have also been trained and a technical team oriented on milk bank operations.
The technical team has also been taken through a learning exchange programme in Scotland to learn about quality assurance systems and outreach programmes.
"We have also established a technical working group at both national and county level to provide oversight and ensure adherence to quality and standard and developed guidelines and tools to support operations of the milk bank," said the British High Commissioner.
He commended the county government for its commitment to the realization of the project.
"Working with the staff at the Pumwani Maternity Hospital, the county health team have finalized plans for the launch of the milk bank. This will be symbolic of the importance of our respective government to place improving newborn health and life opportunities in Kenya," he added.
Human milk is critical for the estimated 32.4 million babies in low- and middle-income countries.
Between 15 and 40 percent of vulnerable babies in neonatal units around the world lack access to their own mother's milk, often because of maternal illness, death, or abandonment.

Great Ideas: Search and Find
October 25, 2022 August 30, 2022 / Andrew McDowell / 29 Comments
It is a question every writer is asked at some point in their careers: "Where do you get your ideas from?" It's become a cliché, really. Still, there are others out there suffering from writer's block who feel their well has gone dry, so to speak. Or perhaps you're in the middle of an ocean of ideas and don't know which fish to bait for. Well, I'll elaborate on some familiar answers, which in my opinion aren't always suited for every situation.
Write about what you know.
This has been said a lot of times, and it is logical. You're pretty much guaranteed to do well with ideas you are knowledgeable about. The situations and experiences from your own life can help provide a far more solid base upon which to build a story. Such examples can include professional experiences (Jeremy Lloyd drew on his experiences working in a department store for Are You Being Served?) or places you have visited or lived (Stephen King's stories are often set in his home state of Maine or in Colorado, where he went on vacation once he was financially able to do so). Then there are personal hobbies and interests, which leads to the next point.
Write about what interests you.
Writing about what you know won't be enough if passion isn't in it. It will show in your writing if passion was absent. Interests and hobbies are a great source of ideas because the writer can share those passions through stories and perhaps spark interest in readers. Plus, your passion can compensate because you will compel yourself to drive and learn more about your passions/interests in order to write a better story. Bram Stoker spent seven years writing and developing Dracula, and he never visited Romania, where a good portion of his book his set. He drew on research and his own imagination.
So perhaps in the end, perhaps you need to draw on a combination in order to make a blend. And in my case, certainly, I need to remind myself to not stress over it, which I admit is still hard to do. I must keep hope that ideas will come, especially when I'm not looking for them.

Second Edition of Mystical Greenwood Pre-Order!
June 20, 2022 January 11, 2023 / Andrew McDowell / 26 Comments
Many thanks to Fae Corps for publishing a second edition of Mystical Greenwood! For those who didn't see last month's post, the original publisher had to shut down as a result of COVID. Release date is set for August 26th! They did an excellent job on the new cover art!
The Kindle version is available for preorder!
So are the Nook and other eBook editions via Books2Read!
And you can mark the Kindle edition to-read on Goodreads (or switch over if you'd intended to read the original Kindle and hadn't bought it)!
Print copies, unfortunately, will have to wait until the release date.
I know there are many of you will be asking when Book II will be available. I'm afraid I still don't have a definitive answer, as I've had a lot going on in my life, and I haven't been able to get those creative juices going. But I am not giving up. I will let you know when I have updates on it. Believe me, I want to get it done.

Time is a curious thing. I've found when we focus on time, it seems to drag on at a snail's pace. Yet when we do not pay attention to it, it flies right past. When it comes to fiction, time can play an interesting function. Stories and novels can take place from anywhere to the course of a single day (or less) with a few characters, to several years, decades even, covering generations of people. At other times, a story can seem to go by slower or faster than it really does. Simply put, in stories, as in life, time and how much we pay attention to it can affect how things play out.
A story that takes place in a short amount of time by drawing it out, such as chapters and sections being either specified by time (like a subtitle) or within the text (such as a character mentioning the time). The constant mention of time helps to make the shorter time feel longer. With a story set out over a long period of time, I usually have found there isn't as many references to the time, which can make the time go faster. Interesting paradox, isn't it?
I also want to talk about time in a different sense. Perhaps all writers think about what shall become of their work as time goes on. This became more apparent to me because I recently learned that my novel's publisher, Mockingbird Lane Press, has sadly had to close. No doubt writers want their work to outlive them, to still be read and assessed long after they're gone. It does seem that any work defined as a literary classic these days is one that has withstood the test of time, to still be printed and sold years, centuries, after it was first published. There are many writers who are remembered for a single thing out of their entire literary output.
Sometimes I think writers wish they could see where their work goes in the future, similar to how in an episode of the Spanish TV drama El Ministerio del Tiempo (The Ministry of Time), a cynical and suicidal Miguel de Cervantes was shown by the protagonists the impact Don Quixote would have on Spain and the world in the centuries after his time (their goal was to ensure its publication, as they'd faced a threat it might not be, thus changing the course of history and literature). Their efforts gave Cervantes the courage and drive to finish Don Quixote (specifically the first half, as the book was actually in two parts with more than a decade in between being published), and go on with his life, thus ensuring he and his magnum opus would make history. In the end, I suppose, what matters is hope: hope that something creative will someday reach that level.
Time is indeed a curious thing. But it keeps going on, as must we. And don't worry, I do intend to republish my novel.

Online gigs provide lifeline for Nairn Community and Arts Centre
Tia McGraff and her husband Tommy Parham.
A country singer with her roots in Nairnshire is set to entertain music lovers with a special online performance.
Tia McGraff, whose family hail from the area and who has sung and lived in Nashville, Tennessee and is now based in Canada, will perform in one of three online gigs being staged throughout January by Nairn Community and Arts Centre.
The concert is part of the centre's Ceilidh in the Kitchen series, which already saw three performances in December.
Centre manager Sam Morrison said the initiative was born out of a need to do things differently in the wake of last year's lockdown.
"Although the building is owned by Highland Council it is run by a voluntary board of directors who employ six full-time staff," she said of the way the centre is managed.
"The lease is on a care and maintenance basis and therefore we are responsible for all the maintenance and upkeep costs of the building.
"All our income is generated by the business we take through our doors including usage by local groups and organisations, concerts, and corporate events.
Sam Morrison, manager of Nairn Community and Arts Centre. Picture: Gary Anthony
"When lockdown happened last March we applied to numerous sources which we hoped might help out but we didn't seem to fit the criteria for funding."
She called the Scottish Government's Venue Relief Funding "our saviour".
"It gave us cash to cover wages and a budget to put on online performances which have been a fantastic success," she said.
"The ceilidhs were an obvious choice because we have the Nairn Ceilidh Group performing here every summer for local people and tourists."
The community centre teamed up with Inverness production company HCVF to record music sessions.
Tia McGraff's concert will be broadcast at 8pm on Friday and Ms Morrison said the centre is already looking forward to other events in the future.
"The plan was by January to have socially distanced audiences of 70 in our 300-capacity auditorium, but that has had to be shelved due to the latest lockdown," she said.
"However, we have been working with different bands and musicians and as soon as restrictions ease, we will be ready to go.
"We also work closely with Music Nairn and Jazz Nairn, two well-known local music groups and hopefully we will be able to put on some performances for their audiences over the next couple of months."
All the recorded concerts and performances are still free to view on www.nairn
communitycentre.co.uk
Any donations will be gratefully received.

News Review looks at how publishers are going for print on demand to keep backlist in print, and how online bookselling supports this trend.
'The storm clouds are gathering as more economies go into recession. The book trade looks gloomier in the US than the UK, where Christmas may still show good sales. News Review reports.
'Perhaps it's too late to talk about the danger of one company dominating the market so completely.' News Review looks at the rise and rise of Amazon, with its 'great price and great service'.
'A ground-breaking agreement was reached in New York this week in the case of the Authors' Guild and the Association of American Publishers v Google. Google will make payments totalling $125m... the agreement will allow for the expansion of online access to millions of in-copyright books from the libraries taking part in Google Book Search.' News Review has the story.
News Review looks at this year's winner and the tradition of controversy surrounding the Booker - plus its increasingly global reach.
'Write about what you know. And embroider the hard facts a little if absolutely necessary. I don't exaggerate or embellish so much in my stories since I started writing for the New Yorker because their fact checkers are as fearsome as their legend suggests.' David Sedaris, author of When You Are Engulfed in Flames in the Observer.
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning hits 50: 'It's something that comes from within you, the need to write. You're born with it... As long as I'd had a roof over my head and food on the table, I would have carried on writing whether I was published or not.' Alan Sillitoe in The Times
'Digital activity is critical to the evolution of publishing and in children's we are best placed to break this out because our audience is already there, growing up with it.' Ann-Janine Murtagh of HarperCollins Children's Books UK, in Publishing News
'When I began, there was just one thing that I wanted to write about, which was the true devastation of racism on the most vulnerable, the most helpless unit in the society - a black female and a child.' Toni Morrison in the Observer
'At the end of the day, the writer herself is a more valuable brand than the publishing house and it's time for writers to wake up to this fact.' Kate Pullinger on Guardian Online
Writers' Quote
'When you live and work on your own, as I do, writing takes a long time. You can keep producing shit and you're always wondering whether you should stop. I'm so glad I had friends who told me to keep going.'

Upgrade Your Leadership Effectiveness for Challenging Times
09 Sep Upgrade Your Leadership Effectiveness for Challenging Times
Posted at 15:34h in Blog by Marcy Magiera
"The first problem you have to deal with is your own reaction. You will not be able to solve anything outside until you own how the situation affects you inside." – Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul
September 9, 2019 | Pursuing "success," most people instinctively rely on the American work ethic formula: work hard, be smart, and push through obstacles to emerge victorious. This heroic model works well, especially when the path to success is clear – and the market you're in is growing.
Mark Teitell, The Trium Group
Monica Chi, The Trium Group
But what happens when disruption is in the air and change is so rapid that longtime, even iconic, institutions are struggling and disappearing – and even the path to success is murky? Industry circumstances are contributing to the turmoil and related anxiety, including: consolidation (e.g. Disney's Fox acquisition); the sudden shift to multiple, fragmented competing distribution platforms (Warner/HBO, Disney, et al.); the role of advertising business models; and continuing uncertainty about whether (and which) technology will bring new waves of growth. Under circumstances such as these, how can you show up and be an effective leader that others are inspired to follow?
Good news: there's an alternative to the heroic model that will serve you better during tougher and easier times. Rather than trying ever harder to outsmart and outhustle the world, what if you could capitalize on today's challenges as a catalyst for approaching yourself and your leadership in a next-gen way? Doing so requires a conscious shift, but the algorithm for navigating the chaos is both clear and repeatable – and never more relevant than today in the shape-shifting world of entertainment.
Let's take a look at each of the five foundational elements now.
1. Developing Self-Mastery: Yeah, we know – this sounds like something from The Karate Kid. Yet this is real and starts with quieting down enough to hear your own thoughts and sense your underlying emotions, while neither suppressing them nor being carried away by them. The more you notice and accept these parts of yourself with equanimity, the less you'll be driven by the natural insecurities and fears that are part of being human. Instead, you will begin to recognize your "way-of-being" – your ingrained and (usually) invisible pattern that, while serving you well, also has by-products that inhibit the fullest realization of your goals. This heightened awareness will open you up to "seeing" anew, even in a job and industry you've assumed you've known inside and out.
2. Cultivating Trust-Based Relationships: In dynamic times, relationships matter more than ever. Evolution has imprinted deeply on all of us that to feel alone is to feel unsafe. And on a more analytical level, not a single one of us has the superior ability to predict how the world will evolve. So, logic would dictate that for both emotional and career-navigation reasons, you ought to invest energy in reconnecting old relationships, nurturing current ones, and seeking out new people (including ones outside the echo chamber of your specialization).
The key is developing genuine trust – a tremendous and teachable skill that is essential to your success (and happiness). What builds trust? For starters, the self-awareness and courage to be authentic and, yes, vulnerable with colleagues. Although wearing a suit of emotional armor or a mask of overinflated confidence seems like it would be "easier," doing so will result in missing out on the human connections that are vital for keeping things in perspective and generating new thinking, and also makes it incredibly difficult to get hard stuff done in the workplace.
3. Empowering Groups: Without a doubt, every major studio and corporate establishment is now deep in the question of how best to create diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments, while also tackling the issue of attracting and especially retaining the best junior and mid-career people. With the sizzle and reward of start-ups and tech giants beckoning, this has become more challenging than ever. There's no silver bullet to resolving issues as complex as these, but a no regrets move to empowering others is fostering a clearer sense of purpose, connectedness, and belonging.
4. Leading Change: As you start to increase self-mastery, strengthen trust-based relationships, and empower and motivate others, this possibility arises: what should you do with this increasing power to operate as your best self? That's always an important question, but never more so than during disruptive times like these. What new strategies or business models – and cultural traits and ways of working – does your company need? Identifying and executing on these types of fundamental changes takes significant leadership.
As history has shown over and over again, most great leaders aren't born. They've intentionally nurtured leadership qualities and honed them through trial by fire. This is where proactively finding sources of support to resource yourself is a tremendous accelerator.
5. Creating Conditions for Success: This final element builds on each of the prior components. At the end of the day, there is only so much that one leader, however capable, can "do" on their own. Success in times of rapid change is contingent on teams of people being clear and aligned enough to execute and persist in mission. The extent to which you can cultivate an environment where people feel psychologically safe enough to experiment, share learnings, and forge ahead will make all the difference – and this holds true whether you are leading a team of five individuals, 500, or 5,000. Your ability to do so hinges on your own clarity – starting with the awareness you have day-to-day around your leadership impact, and what you're willing to do about it. In other words, "knowing" the five-part algorithm for leading effectively is only half the battle…
So where to begin? Courageously taking an honest and clearer look at yourself than ever before is a fail-safe starting point. From there, as you work to expand your leadership repertoire with distinct new ways of thinking and being, you may find yourself relating to colleagues and partners in refreshing new ways – and discover a curious ability to better handle the curveballs life's circuitous path throws at you.

Maori Meeting House, Ruatepupuke II
The Maori Meeting House, Ruatepupuke II was built by the New Zeland Maori community at Tokomaru Bay in 1881. They named it Ruatepupuke II after their renowned ancestor who according to legend, brought the art of carving to the world.
The large mask carved and placed on the gable roof summit represents Ruatepupuke. Ruatepupuke is said to have established the tradition of carved meeting houses on the East Coast of New Zealand.
Māori Meeting Houses are often named after ancestors and considered to embody that person. The house is seen as an outstretched body and can be addressed like a living being.
This Māori Meeting House or wharenui is one of only three 19th-century carved meeting houses outside of New Zealand.
The house and the surrounding area around the house or marae serve as a spiritual outpost for sharing Maori culture and history.
A marae is a communal or sacred place that serves religious and social purposes in Polynesian societies. In the Māori societies of New Zealand, the marae is still a vital part of everyday life.
Maori Meeting House
Maori Meeting House or "big house" is a communal house of the Māori people of New Zealand, generally situated at the focal point of a marae.
The houses are often carved inside and out with stylized images of the tribe's ancestors, with the style used for the carvings varying from tribe to tribe.
The houses always have names, sometimes the name of a famous ancestor or sometimes a figure from Māori mythology.
While a meeting house is considered sacred, it is not a church or house of worship, but religious rituals may take place in front of or inside a meeting house.
Māori People
The Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Māori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages some time between 1250 and 1300.
Over several centuries in isolation, the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture, with their own language, mythology, crafts and performing arts.
Early Māori formed tribal groups based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organization. Horticulture flourished however later, with population pressure, a prominent warrior culture emerged.
The arrival of Europeans to New Zealand, starting in the 17th century, brought enormous changes to the Māori way of life.
Māori people gradually adopted many aspects of Western society and culture. Initial relations between Māori and Europeans were amicable, and with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the two cultures coexisted as part of a new British colony.
However, rising tensions over disputed lands led to conflict in the 1860s. Social upheaval, decades of conflict, and epidemics of newly introduced diseases took a devastating toll on the Māori population, which fell dramatically.
By the start of the 20th century, the Māori population had begun to recover, and efforts have been made to increase their standing in wider New Zealand society and to achieve social justice.
Traditional Māori culture has enjoyed a significant revival, which was further bolstered by a Māori protest movement that emerged in the 1960s.

At some point in your parenting journey (numerous times to be fair) you will discover spots on your child's skin. Some spots are harmless pimples, others might be insect bites, allergy rashes, eczema, chicken pox or warts.
Will went through a period of having warts regularly on his hands as a young child. The Doctors indicated the warts were a result of stress at school. As the stress subsided, the warts disappeared and thankfully never returned.
Molluscum Contagiosum is a skin condition commonly called Water Warts. They are clusters of raised, skin-coloured spots up to 5mm across with a small dimple in the middle. They are usually very itchy too. Initially they can look like small pearls on the skin.
The Water Warts virus can be caught at any time of the year and spreads quickly amongst children and adults. It affects 4 out of 5 under 15 years olds and is most common in children under 5. If you are unsure whether your child has Water Warts, you should visit your GP or Practice Nurse.
How do Water Warts spread?
Water Warts spread easily when in contact with an infected person through sharing toys, towels and bedding. Think sleepovers, swimming, paddling pools and soft play centres. These are all times when children are in close contact with others. As with all infection risks it is important that hands are washed regularly.
Can I treat Water Warts at home?
Yes. MolluTinc is a water warts treatment you can buy over the counter. MolluTinc is suitable to treat water warts in children over 2 years old and in adults. Treatment is painless and normally lasts 2-10 days. The Water Warts will disappear in 1-5 weeks after the treatment has finished.
Begin by protecting the skin around the water warts with petroleum jelly.
Using the brush provided apply MolluTinc directly to the Water Warts twice a day.
Within 2 to 10 days of starting treatment the water warts will become inflamed and turn red.
This indicates that the MolluTinc is working and is not a cause for concern.
Once the spots turn red you can stop treatment.
The Water Warts will disappear in 1 to 5 weeks.
How does MolluTinc Water Warts treatment work?
MolluTinc Water Warts treatment is the only product in the UK to contain 10% potassium hydroxide. It works by breaking down the Water Warts which allows the body's immune system to fight the virus.

FTC Contact Lens Rule Workshop | Dry Eye | Pterygium Surgery | CXL | Keratoconus
ODs Rally for FTC Contact Lens Rule Workshop
More than a year after proposing changes to the Contact Lens Rule, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is answering pushback from the American Optometric Association (AOA), lawmakers, practitioners and other advocates with a public Contact Lens Rule Workshop on March 7 in Washington, DC. The gathering, designed to discuss contact lens marketplace competition, consumer access, prescription release and portability, and other contact lens-related subjects, will feature panelists, public comments and feedback.
A persistent advocate for contact lens patient health and safety, the AOA says it will be an active participant in the upcoming workshop.
"During the past year, the AOA and our supporters have underscored that our regulatory agencies should take a closer look at those online contact lens retailers who are breaking the current laws instead of supporting more unnecessary bureaucracy," says Christopher J. Quinn, OD, AOA president. "AOA will carry this message forward and has been working quickly to prepare for this workshop."
Among the proposed changes is a mandate that eye care practitioners maintain a signed agreement of prescription dispensation for contact lens patients for three years.
"I can't help but feel the FTC proposed paperwork mandate is somehow a diversionary tactic supported by companies like 1800-Contacts, designed to keep organized optometry away from working on the real issue of protecting patients from unscrupulous business tactics," says Justin Bazan, OD, of Park Slope Eye. "I understand the FTC is focused on ensuring a competitive marketplace, but it cannot be done without also safeguarding the eyes of our patients."
The change would drive a wedge in the doctor-patient relationship and have a huge impact on the bottom line. The FTC estimates it would cost the industry roughly $10.5 million, while the AOA cites a study that suggests an unacceptable burden for ODs, with potential costs to a one-doctor, one-support staff practice as high as $18,795 in the initial year, if finalized.
To rally the profession, the AOA has issued a call to action to ensure at least one OD from each state attends the meeting to create a united front, according to Dr. Quinn.
"One thing that is critical is that we mobilize to ensure that the optometric profession's full perspective and range of expertise is included in every aspect of the discussion," Dr. Quinn says. "Those who want to undermine optometry and patient care will be there in force, and optometry needs to have a stronger presence."
"There will be strict limits on participation, and not every doctor will gain recognition during the limited times for open discussion," Dr. Quinn adds. "But an engaged, nationally representative group of doctors on hand will deliver a powerful message to the FTC."
"This workshop absolutely requires a strong showing from organized optometry," says Dr. Bazan. "As an optometrist, I feel it's a duty to my profession to, at a minimum, let the FTC know how I feel."
Depression and Anxiety Show Dry Eye Correlation
A recent study found a correlation between dry eye and non-ocular comorbidities such as anxiety and depression.1 This suggests that, for some patients, dry eye symptoms may stem from a condition unrelated to ocular surface health. For practitioners, this could explain why some dry eye cases do not respond to topical dry eye treatment.

"It's a great point to note that ocular pain and depression/anxiety are correlated with non-ocular pain," says Bill Potter, OD, chief of Optometry and Contact Lens Services at Millennium Eye Care in West Freehold, NJ. "Perceptions of pain and associated mental health issues vary tremendously by age, culture, sex and more. Some of it is due to induced biochemical changes and some is due to the way that we are hard-wired."
Researchers used the Pearson correlation coefficient to evaluate the association of dry eye symptoms and neuropathic-like ocular pain features, chronic pain conditions, depression and anxiety in 233 patients.
Coming into the study, about 40% of patients had mild or greater dry eye symptoms and 12% had severe symptoms per the Dry Eye Questionnaire. The patient population was predominantly female to counterbalance a previous study that looked at a mostly male population. However, results were consistent between both studies, showing notable correlation between dry eye symptoms and neuropathic-like ocular pain (burning and sensitivity to wind, light and temperature), non-ocular pain conditions (arthritic pain, back pain and headaches), depression and anxiety. According to the study, the results indicate "the link between dry eye symptoms and pain elsewhere in the body is robust," and suggest that "optometrists need to redefine dry eye and separate those who have ocular surface dryness from those whose dry eye symptoms are driven by somatosensory dysfunction such as neuropathy."
"Dry eye with systemic comorbidity is a classic example of how we need an integrated approach, mental health and systemic pain control included," says Dr. Potter. "Although there is a trend toward optometrists doing more traditional primary medical care, we can't do it all. Teamwork with other specialists is key."
While dry eye therapies target tear function, inflammation and ocular surface anatomy, patients with both dry eye symptoms and non-ocular pain conditions may benefit more from treatments that focus on reducing the excitability of somatosensory function, the study says.
For future studies, Dr. Potter suggests identifying psychological or systemic pathophysiologic profiles that would indicate patients at greater risk for progression.

• Adjunctive amniotic membrane transplantation and intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) can reduce recurrence after pterygium surgery. Recurrence can be as high as 88% after simple excision involving an uncovered bare sclera. In comparison, this noncomparative retrospective study showed that of the 556 eyes of 535 patients that had pterygium surgery performed by the same surgeon and used a cryopreserved amniotic membrane and MMC, only 3.6% had corneal recurrence and 2.2% had conjunctival recurrence.

• A new meta-analysis reveals that standard corneal collagen crosslinking (epithelium-off CXL) was more effective in decreasing the maximum keratometry than transepithelial CXL in patients with keratoconus. The researchers evaluated three studies with a total of 244 eyes—111 in the standard CXL group and 133 in the transepithelial CXL group. They found a mean keratometry difference of 1.05D at least 12 months post-procedure, in favor of standard CXL. At the same time, transepithelial CXL provided slightly better corrected distance visual acuity. Both had similar safety.

• Italian researchers recently discovered obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was 10 to 20 times more prevalent in study patients with keratoconus compared with the rate found within the general population. After studying 50 patients diagnosed with keratoconus using home overnight polysomnography, they found 38% had OSA—a mild form in roughly half of study participants. They did not find any statistically significant differences in corneal parameters or keratoconus severity between patients with and without OSA and patients with different degrees of OSA severity.

That's not a misspelling. It's one of those technical terms you need to know. Phishing is a fraudulent attempt, usually made through email, to steal your personal information. The best way to protect yourself from phishing is to learn how to recognize a phish.
Phishing emails usually appear to come from a well-known organization and ask for your personal information – such as credit card number, social security number, account number or password. Often, phishing attempts appear to come from sites, services and companies with which you do not even have an account.
In order for Internet criminals to successfully "phish" your personal information, they must get you to go from an email to a website. Phishing emails will almost always tell you to click a link that takes you to a site where your personal information is requested. Legitimate organizations (for example, Babson College) would never request this information of you via email.
1. Generic greeting. Phishing emails are usually sent in large batches. To save time, Internet criminals use generic names like "Dear Wells Fargo Online Customer." If you don't see your name, be suspicious!
2. Request for personal information. The point of sending phishing email is to trick you into providing your personal information. If you receive an email requesting your personal information, it is probably a phishing attempt.
3. Sense of urgency. Internet criminals want you to provide your personal information now. They do this by making you think something has happened that requires you to act fast.
If it's a phishing email, delete it!


A hotpot chain restaurant in China has been shut down after a dead rat was found floating in a boiling broth of soup. The patrons, Mr. Ma and his family, were having dinner at the hotpot chain in Shandong province.
Mr. Ma was concerned for his expectant wife - and has taken her to get checked over to be sure her and the baby are okay - after eating the rat-tainted soup.
The husband, identified only as Mr. Ma by local outlet Kankan News, said a staffer had the gall to say his wife should get an abortion if she was anxious about the baby, offering over $2,000 for the procedure. He alleged that one staff member had offered 20,000 yuan ($2,900) for an abortion if she was concerned about the baby's health. "I'm never going to eat hotpot outside again", said one user.
The restaurant allegedly later offered the couple 5,000 yuan ($728) in compensation for the incident - a price he was willing to negotiate after the hospital visit, he told the newspaper. Others were upset about the staff offering money for an abortion.
In a statement released to South China Morning Post Saturday night, Xiabu Xiabu said it had always placed great emphasis on food security and would make any necessary improvements. They also mentioned that they did not believe that a lack of hygiene had anything to do with it.
After the incident, Xiabu Xiabu's market value fell by 11 per cent(S$291 million) on Tuesday (Sept 11). According to Thrillist, the ingredients commonly include fresh meats, tofu, various vegetables, and noodles.

Affectionately known as "Coronary Hill" the 13th consists a steady incline to the highest point on the course. The second shot to the green, for all but the biggest hitters, is blind, but now downhill to a large green well protected by a grass bunkers left and sand bunker right. Wind direction can be critical, usually from the left but is not felt until reaching the crest because of the sheltered fairway. A recently installed sand trap on the left, adjacent to the 12th tee, awaits careless tee shots.

so…and i like to start with so…the child that lives within is happy. because it's easter. and blessed easter childhood memories resurface…of skittle-colored eggs. sunday morning service. new tights and white patent leather shoes with ankle straps (and crying when i couldn't find the other one and finally clip-clopping out to a honking car with mis-matched shoes and an ugly cry face to skid away just in time to make it for my dad's sermon). ham dinners and digging through plastic easter grass to find one more jelly bean. my mom's rice crispy treat baskets with green coconut and licorice handles. it is confection at its best…and the one time of year i actually enjoy pepto bismol pastels.
…and also motherhood. because, as much as the deep foundation of this amazing "profession" resides simply in loving…there are these splendid bonuses. like watching your pig-tailed 'lil cubby tediously scan the lawn for eggs because this year, she's big enough to be a part of the neighborhood hunt.
like swelling inside when she clings extra tight in fear of the easter bunny but pulls away for just a moment to wave at him. like watching her decorate bunny crafts with the other kids and wondering where the time went.
yes, she is and she's oh-so big now.
we love easter. we love watching rows of crisp white eggs transform into sweet orbs of cotton candy-ish confection.
…and i'm well aware of the bitter fact that there will soon be a day when she won't need security from the easter bunny. when skittle-colored eggs aren't the highlight of her day. when she refuses to wear pig-tails.
but for now…it's just bless-ed.
we like easter. and bunnies…like i almost walked out of the pet store the other day with a real one. and then i thought what am i doing?
i gotta hand it to hallmark. creating a day all for love? genius.
~the return of running. repeated enough consecutive days now that i can call it somewhat consistent. and i have a blister to prove it. a blister, mind you, that could have been avoided had i found some socks. and i realized that blister was evolving at about the sixth repetition of let it rock, the only song which i was permitted to play being that i didn't know austyn's ipod passcode to change it. so, i let it rock alright, and from this day forth, i won't be able to hear that song without thinking of the rhythmic pounding of my feet to the beat, a left toe blister and a very, very chafed right ankle. moral of the story: wear socks.
~the fact that i didn't have a meltdown when i realized there was no half & half left for my coffee this morning, a discovery that would, under otherwise un-valentiney circumstances warrant a calamitous response…one that involves a crazy night-gowned lady knocking on neighbors' doors. i've done it before. but today's about love. and i love the ingenuity i brainstormed with some melted old whipped cream.
~watching my wedding reception dvd yesterday and feeling a bit of a throat-tightening…and the reassuring comfort that i married my best friend and that i love him very, very much.
~the interaction her new toddlerhood grants us–everything's more animated, more thought-out and just so much more enjoyable. she is more than my girl…she's my little friend.
~my nook. it's just as good as it looks. my cozy spot i retreat to at the end of the night. such a happy place.
~getting older and all the little pieces of wisdom, of gratitude, of happiness i glean from every experience i'm blessed to call mine. seriously…i think about it all the time. just chiseling away every day to sculpt the best version of me i can.
~girls night last night with a trip to the theater for he's just not that into you (splendid, by the way) and then retreating to the ale house for some soul cleansing womenfolk chat.
~her dimple which is magically finding more ways to reveal itself these days.
~free "love scroll" from world market which happened to make the most lovely canvas for brett's valentine letter.
~getting valentine packages in the mail from my mom. she sends 'em every year. and, ever since we were little, she has made every little holiday oh so special.
~the way all the dogs hang out by her table when she eats in the hopes that maybe…just maybe…they might catch some scraps.
~having more than one valentine…just so many to love. including my little heart.
~love. yup…just lovin' love itself.
have a very happy valentine's day.

it has been transformed into a contemporary five-star hotel.
Located in the heart of Amsterdam's museum district on Van Baerlestraat, the Conservatorium hotel is a step away from the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Royal Concertgebouw. Also, the luxury shopping avenues, P.C Hooftstraat and Van Baerlestraat are right on the hotel's doorstep as well as the charming Vondelpark and the lanes of the Jordaan neighborhood.
The historical centre of Amsterdam is within walking distance.
Designed by Piero Lissoni (leading Italian architect and interior designer), the Conservatorium hotel infuses historical architecture with modern design.
The hotel features 129 bedrooms and suites, an array of restaurants and bars as well as a selection of cutting-edge events and banqueting spaces.
Conservatorium hotel is also home to the Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre, an urban retreat that is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy. Spanning over more than 10.000 ft2, Akasha is one of the finest holistic spas in Amsterdam offering a range of signature treatments marrying innovative Western practices with ancient Eastern traditions and featuring a 60 ft. x 17 ft. indoor swimming pool, a whirlpool, Hammam, sauna, Watsu pool and relaxation areas.
Conservatorium hotel's contemporary design coupled with the hotel's incredible location gives guests a unique experience, as soon as they step into the hotel; they are immersed into the city's rich cultural and design legacy.
Conservatorium hotel is the first member of The Set, a collection created to redefine the concept of the luxury hotel sophisticated, design literate travellers in the 21th Century. Working to an uncompromising brief that called for hotels that were not only of the moment but that would define their times and locations, architects and designers to rework the DNA of the grand hotel and create spaces that are contemporary in conception, whilst simultaneously evocative of the style and glamour of the past.

But I'd rather have a fresh pair I can wear and over again than a '99 retro that looks like this.
Avoid early release pairs and wait for them to drop at Nike retailers like Titan.
Top 3 easy. Feels like 1989 and 1999 again. I can't wait!
Would it be a lottery again from Titan. I hope not.. How much do you think would it cost?
bro how do avoid crumbing your sole like that one in your pic?

In a case being tagged as "one of the most important battles" in YouTube history, Mars Argo (Brittany Sheets) had alleged identity and copyright infringement against Corey Mixter and Moriah Pereira (commonly known as Poppy). The grounds of the allegation mostly related to a video put up by the duo, which was termed as a "Mars Argo knockoff" by Sheets. The core of the dispute (as far as copyright and image rights are concerned) rested upon the claims stating an intimation of Mars Argo's identity, likeness, expression of ideas, sound style and certain other distinctive elements of Argo's voice and look (dyed hair to a specific Platinum color). It was claimed by Sheets in the lawsuit, that the duo tried to emulate the look as well sound style-associated with her and tried to pass themselves as her for commercial purposes. This law suit has however reached an ugly settlement (details can be found here) where the parties have agreed to never speak to or of each other and where all the rights to the work and identity have been settled to remain with Sheets. According to us however, a claim for fair use is bound to exist here, as there was no substantial reproduction of the work per say, and such a restrictive interpretation of a parody can have major ramifications on the YouTube creator community. Even in the case of H3H3 v. Matt Hoss, fair use was upheld on a YouTube upload which was criticising or came into the category of a parody. Similarly, herein as well merely the style or the way the content is expressed has been appropriated rather than the expression itself. The intricacies of the matter are not present in the public domain and hence an accurate analysis would be tough to construe, however I would like to point out to the case of Campbell v. Acuff Rose (1994) which bought in the concept of "parody as an obvious claim of transformative and fair use". Justice Souter in that case had held that, parody, like comment or criticism, is bound to be covered under fair use and Section 107 of the US Copyright Act. It is an amalgamation of reference and ridicule which has been held to be permissible as a transformative element. Further, the court had coined the "conjure up" test wherein it was established that the threshold to deny a finding under fair use, in the case of a work which was a parody, was when the parodist appropriated a greater amount than necessary to 'recall or conjure up' the object of the parody. Hence, merely appropriating the sound style or look won't qualify as infringing content per say, as long as substantial similarity is sufficiently established.
As reported in Spanish by Cointelegraph, the Argentina based NEM foundation signed an MOU with a local trade union of journalists to work upon building a blockchain based solution for copyright protection. The issues which are sought to be countered through this are that of content theft and royalty paying failures amongst others. It has been developed to regulate the flow of content and enforce licensing rights effectively. A similar arrangement was recently entered into for a similar purpose by Associated Press (AP), to track the use of content. AP had entered into such an agreement with CIVIL, to use its network to track the use by potentials of created content. The main aim of the same is to keep a check on the chain of value and ensure adequate receipt of credit and compensation on the event of exploitation and use of a copyrighted work. The usage of block chain technology has been hailed to be effective in keeping track of how the information is used and avoid use for illicit purposes like Fake News propagation. Control over all kinds of information created, with the creator, has been argued to be the basic goal of inculcation and usage of blockchain technology, particularly in journalism.
The method of operation of the same has been enunciated upon by the press secretary of the local Argentina based union of journalists – CISPREN, who states, "Authors will be able to upload their content to blockchain, ensuring authenticity. Further, presence of a QR code along with a digital signature will be additional safeguards in the case of a dispute." An advantageous implication of the emergence of blockchain technology in the journalism domain obviously will be the presence of a "vigilant eye" for anyone violating copyright due to a permanent record of the work and the ability to track the usage of the work, as has been reported by the bitcoin magazine. However, certain anxious issues exist as well, with the evolution of technology and the incapability of law to address the various consequential problems associated with it. The law, is not in its current state, woke enough to accommodate to such technological usage and there is grave possibility of misuse. Due to the anonymous nature of blockchain based transactions, which are embedded in an immutable manner, there is a huge possibility of circulation of infringing content and mis-information. The option to exploit such technology is not merely limited to rightsholders but rather is accessible to infringers as well, and until regulation is at its paramount, there is a certain risk associated with the adoption of newer technological mechanisms. Certain questions like management of takedown requests, identification of location of infringing work in an immutable embedded world are being posed, which are imperative to be brainstormed upon before lauding the appealing usage of such technology.
The registration requirement is unique to the United States copyright enforcement and has been a topic of debate, in relation to its ambit, since long. There has been a split on the threshold requirement to fulfil "registration" amongst the circuits, with some preferring the "certified registration complete" approach (10th and 11th circuit) and some, the application approach, which is limited to merely applying (5th and 9th circuits). Even within the 6th and 7th circuits, there is no harmony in the view adopted and there has been a multitude of opinions flowing as to which is the most appropriate and intended one. The Copyright office has also shown its support towards the registration approach. It's inclination towards the registration approach obvious, keeping in mind the profitability that follows from it. There is an expended approach mechanism, wherein the rightsholder can finalize upon a registration in under 5 days, upon the payment of a hefty 800$ per claim, over and above the regular application fee. The argument resorted to by the proponents of the registration approach is merely grounded on the literal rule of statutory interpretation, read on the provision which states," no action for infringement can be instituted until registration of the copyright claims are made in accordance of the act." This however goes against the creators' interest and is a burdensome procedural flaw in the US copyright system.
This issue is finally being taken up the US Supreme Court, upon a certificate issue in the matter of Fourth Estate Public Benefit v. Wall-Street.com. The Supreme Court too on 8th January, seemed divided on the interpretation with Justice Elena Kagen saying that the only way to be read the statute is to imply registration as registration being made and finalized conclusively. This was in support by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh and Chief John Roberts, however the Chief also acknowledged the technological development taking place resulting in faster infringing mechanisms and the problems associated with waiting for completion of registration. A purposive interpretation was also argued for by the amicus groups in the issue like the National Music Publishers association. In my opinion, in the current age of technological dynamism and the Copyright Act being drafted in 1976, waiting for a registration-based practice can result in validating infringement actions on an incidence of a lackadaisical conduct by the Copyright office. Further, there is a chance of exploiting the literal connotation of the provision by the Copyright office, in order to mooch of extra money. Hence, a harmonious purposive construction is imperative to effectively safeguard the rights of the shareholders especially in the realm of US Copyright law, wherein the threshold of copyrightability is a minimal modicum of creativity as compared to novelty in patent law.
India is known as the land of folk music because of the traditional association of music and lifestyle even within the diverse religious and sectoral groups present. An interesting question regarding the copyrightability of such traditional songs has been brought in before the Bombay High Court, which is set to decide this matter soon. Old songs which are sung in traditional community-based weddings have been argued to have been infringed by being included in a lyrical compilation, without the earlier author's permission who had published the same earlier. The counter argument that has been raised is that these songs are traditional and not owned by any individual person. They are in the Public domain. In this light, I would like to get in the WIPO's interpretation of the same. The WIPO has described the concept of Traditional Cultural expressions and has used it synonymously with the phrase "expressions of folklore". It has defined it to mean productions consisting of characteristic elements of the traditional artistic heritage developed and maintained by a community. These include verbal expressions such as folk tales, musical expressions such as folk songs and instrumental music. They have defined traditional as- not "old" but rather an expression based upon tradition or associated with an indigenous or traditional society (based on location or community beliefs) and practiced in traditional ways. (WIPO Publication no. 489 (E), 2004). A specific expression of the same inculcating elements of originality or in a form of a compilation has although been held to be protectable due to involvement of sufficient skill and judgment, which is the threshold of originality. This doesn't seem the case for lyrical infringements as the lyrics are always in the public domain and cannot be specifically changed in traditional works. "Traditional" implies a community economy, wherein authorship is not a central concern and is evolutionary in nature.
Hence, it can easily be held that a copyright or a monopoly right to exploitation cannot be claimed over lyrics of a traditional song that has been published, due to it being a generic element of a society and hence a mere idea rather than an original expression of the same. The court in the case at hand, although, needs to analyse the work wherein copyright is being claimed and examine whether, there are elements in the work which go beyond being traditional and generic, and fulfil the threshold of originality. Otherwise, a claim of copyright on an expression of a traditional song merely lyrically written, should ideally not be sustainable and there would be no infringement.
A certiorari has been filed in the United States Supreme Court, against the decision of the 9th Circuit case of Rentmeester v. Nike, (883 F.3d 1111 (9th Cir. 2018) wherein, it has been argued that the 9th circuits decision is problematic and creates a circuit split, by giving "photographs a thinner protection than any other art form". It has been alleged that an evaluation which requires super-substantial similarity is to be conducted which goes against the 11th, 1st and 2nd circuit decisions which treat the individual elements of a photograph substantially protectable while evaluating the whole, rather merely the whole of the expression. The background of the case dealt with 2 photographs involving Michael Jordan jumping in the style of ballet's grand jete, with the ball in his left hand. However, the picture was taken from a different angle. This issue has been previously covered by the CopyKat in January 2015 and March 2018. The dispute in the 9th circuit case involved 2 photographers, however it brings up a highly important question of how to treat photographs in copyright law and the concept of art within it the law - and transformative art in the context of 'fair use'. In the case of Cariou v. Price, 714 F.3d 694 (2d Cir. 2013) , substantiality was evaluated on the basis of "character" and "aesthetics". Similar questions have been asked in cases like Kienitz v. Sconnie Nation LLC, 766 F.3d 756 (7th Cir. 2014), however a conclusive determination of what is to be considered of substantial importance when evaluating similarity amongst photographs is yet to determined. The CopyKat has its eyes set. Will it be lighting choices or painter's use of colours?, individual elements or the whole of a photograph?, superficial texture or imagery? It will be really interesting to see how the Supreme Court resorts to resolve this long standing question. In my opinion, there is no infringement in the case at hand as separate creativity was exercised on the part of both the fixers in terms of clicking the photograph and the instantaneous reactions irrespective of the subject captured. It's not the subject pictured which is copyrightable rather the expression which comes out of the photograph. Until and unless, the same photograph is not reproduced, merely the subject which is fixed cannot be claimed a copyright on. The differentiating factor from music and other forms of art and a photograph is the creativity involved in the art of curating and the art on one hand and merely fixing it on the other. I aint undermining the skill, judgment and creativity involved in fixing and clicking a photograph, rather am appreciating the intuitive technique and fixation involved in it which differs inherently from person to person. The CopyKat is highly excited to see what the Supreme Court opines of the same.
In the month of June 2018, Bethesda had brought in a copyright infringement suit over is videogame mobile title Fallout Shelter against Behavior Interactive and Warner Bros title Westworld. The main grounds alleged were based upon similar game design, art style, animations, features and other gameplay elements including various bugs being similar!! Notably even the source code in the resultant game was argued to be copied by Bethesda, claiming from an injunction from distribution and complete removal from the market. These allegations were completely denied then by Behavior Interactive. As reported by gamesindustry.biz, the dispute has amicably been resolved and the CopyKat can peacefully enjoy both these games now.

Cat People 4K 1982

In times immemorial, men sacrificed girls from their tribe to leopards. This is how cat people were born. Outwardly they do not differ from ordinary people, but from time to time they turn into animals and are prone to violence.
A brother and sister, whose parents died a strange death, meet in New Orleans after a long separation. The girl gets a job at the zoo and learns that a killer leopard has appeared in town.
A remake of the 1942 classic film by Jacques Tourneur. In ancient times, people used to sacrifice young girls to leopards, resulting in the birth of cat people, capable of turning into panthers in a moment of rage and passion. Brother and sister Paul and Irena are the last of a dying breed. They meet in New Orleans and try to arrange their lives, but the animal instincts slumbering in them, sooner or later will break free…
In many ways, the now naive-looking Turner's 'mystical noir' still looks much better than its remake in many ways, as the latter differs from the old tape to its advantage only with a bigger budget, special effects and a noticeable escalation of the theme of perversion – from bestiality to incest. The old film delicately and subtly developed Freudian theories about the fear of intimacy, dormant animal instincts and sexual rivalry, but the creators of the new film read Freudian motifs very primitively and flat, reducing an elegant metaphorical plot to mere horror and lubrication of pathology and nudity. I am not happy with the film's scheme as a whole, one of the main problems being its pacing and complete disruption of the integrity of the picture, which is very hard to take as a whole. The plot dances back and forth, the scenes abruptly change in plot and in the nature of presentation, besides, everything looks very boring and absolutely uninteresting. To top it all off, there is no good suspense and atmosphere, and the key scenes of the original are also interpreted in a gray and blurred way. On the plus side, there is a stylish soundtrack by Giorgio Moroder and an adorable young Nastassja Kinski whose incredibly sexy and at the same time touchingly naive image became the only decoration of this dull and inarticulate erotic-mystery horror-drama.

Classical music: Steinway will remain Steinway, says John Paulson, the new billionaire hedge fund owner of the famed piano company.
Talk about branding!
Is there any piano with more prestige than Steinway, whether it is the New York branch of the family or the Hamburg branch?
What aspiring serous pianist doesn't dream of being a "Steinway' artist" like Arthur Rubinstein, Vladimir Horowitz, Rudolf Serkin, Van Cliburn, Emanuel Ax and so many others.
But maybe you remember that in the 1970s, CBS took over the company and used such "new and improved" things as Teflon couplings that led to many problems.
So people are rightly guarded about the new Steinway owner, a billionaire manager of a hedge fund manager who would seem more concerned about making money than preserving the nitpicky artistic quality, which you can get an idea of from the YouTube video tour at the bottom that is narrated by a member of the Steinway family.
But preserving artistic quality of the handmade and painstakingly assembled Steinway piano (below top) is exactly what John Paulson (below bottom), the new owner of Steinway, vows to share, and adds that such first-rate quality is exactly why he wanted to buy the company.
That kind of vow is the ultimate Christmas gift to pianists around the world. Makes you wonder: Does John Paulson play the pain? How well? Is he a pianophile?
Here is a link to the interview and story about Steinway that appeared on NPR:

Sabor u Sieni održao se u Sieni, 1423. i 1424. godine. Prije se smatrao jednim od ekumenskih sabora.

Papa Martin V. sazvao je Sabor u Paviji, koji jedva da je otvoren 23. travnja 1423., kada je izbila kuga i Sabor je žurno prebačen u Sienu.

U Sieni se raspravljalo o Saboru u Konstanzu. Odmah na početku, bilo je svađa u raspravama. Donošene su odluke protiv sljedbenika heretičkih reformatora, Jana Husa i Johna Wycliffea i protiv sljedbenika raskolničkoga protupape Benedikta XIII. Odgođeni su pregovore s Grcima i drugih istočnih pravoslavnih Crkvama. Poticalo se na veću budnost u sukobu s krivovjerjima.

Dana, 19. veljače 1424., Basel je odabran kao mjesto sljedećeg Sabora. Francuski članovi željeli su raspravljati o još tema, ali do toga nije došlo, zbog straha od novih podjela.
