Q: PreAuthorize only works on GET requests I have a Spring Boot project utilizing mutual TLS. Everything works fine for any GET endpoints, but my POST endpoints return the following:
{
    "timestamp": "2020-03-26T11:28:38.778+0000",
    "status": 403,
    "error": "Forbidden",
    "message": "Forbidden",
    "path": "/audit/joe"
}

I assume I'm doing something subtly wrong, but I'm not seeing it.
The following is my configuration:
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true, proxyTargetClass = true)
public class X509AuthenticationServer extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter
{
    public static void main(final String[] args)
    {
        SpringApplication.run(X509AuthenticationServer.class, args);
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(final HttpSecurity http) throws Exception
    {
        http
                .authorizeRequests()
                    .anyRequest().authenticated()
                .and()
                .x509()
                    .subjectPrincipalRegex("CN=(.*?)(?:,|$)")
                    .userDetailsService(userDetailsService());
    }

    @Bean
    public UserDetailsService userDetailsService()
    {
        return new UserDetailsService()
        {
            @Override
            public UserDetails loadUserByUsername(final String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException
            {
                System.out.println("userDetailsService::loadUserByUsername() :: Username: " + username);

                if (username.equalsIgnoreCase("allowed-user"))
                {
                    return new User(username, "", AuthorityUtils.commaSeparatedStringToAuthorityList("ROLE_USER"));
                } else
                {
                    throw new UsernameNotFoundException(String.format("User %s not found", username));
                }
            }
        };
    }
}

And the following is my controller:
@RestController
public class AuditController
{
    @PreAuthorize("hasAuthority('ROLE_USER')")
    @RequestMapping(value = "/audit/{username}", method = RequestMethod.POST), consumes = "application/json")
    public void audit(@PathVariable("username") final String username,
                      @RequestBody final AuditRequest auditRequest,
                      final HttpServletResponse response) throws JsonProcessingException
    {
        // Business logic

        response.setStatus(201);
    }
}

This controller's GET method works as expected:
@Controller
public class UserController
{
    @PreAuthorize("hasAuthority('ROLE_USER')")
    @RequestMapping(value = "/user", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String user(final Model model, final Principal principal)
    {
        final UserDetails currentUser = (UserDetails) ((Authentication) principal).getPrincipal();

        model.addAttribute("username", currentUser.getUsername());

        return "user";
    }
}

And here are my dependencies:
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
      <version>2.2.5.RELEASE</version>

Q: Worklight 6.1 : What is browser compatibility for mobile web app We are build mobile web app in worklight version 6.1. Site is working on some browser like firefox , chrome and IE .
We are facing issue with IE it is not working on some IE version , we din't checked on all the browser with different version.
Error which is showing while launching the mobile site is
appendChild dosn't support line no 6077 wljq.js
Is there any browser compatibility list on IBM site where we can refer the same.

A: When you are building a mobile web app (that runs in the mobile browser application) or a web app (for example the Android and iOS environments in Worklight), you are faced with the limitations of each browser's rendering engine capabilities per the browser version (every browser version will have a different set of features, fixes and support for web specifications, etc...).
As such, there is no available compatibility list. There is, however, a minimum - for a browser to support at the least ECMAScript 1.8.1 in order to be able to run the Worklight JS framework, and this is supported in all browsers by now, mobile or desktop.
If you are facing issues with a specific browser or browser version, you simply need to overcome it like you would in any web development (app or website). You can for example use a Polyfill to add missing functionality or devise other alternatives.
Basically, Worklight does not limit you to specific browsers or browser versions for your applications.
As the question is written in a pretty generalized manner and you do not explain the actual issue you are facing and whether it is actually related to Worklight or not, that is the best I can write at this time.


Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) completed a "Group Reporting" webinar last week that covers the requirements of the group reporting option for the Quality Payment Program. The webinar covered topics such as how to assess your status as a group, your reporting options, and more information about the handy CMS Web Interface option.
Some of the biggest draws to the CMS Web Interface reporting option are designation of patients and measures for reporting. This effectively removes the guess work and streamlines your workflow. You must be a member of a group of 25 providers who's NPIs are reassigned to a billing TIN (Tax ID#). If you are part of a group of this size and plan to report through the Web Interface, time is running out to elect your group for this status. Registration closes on June 6th, 2017, so don't delay! Check out more details on Web Interface registration here.
Even if you are not a member of a group of 25 or more individuals, and not able to report under the Web Interface, the option for reporting as a group does offer certain advantages. You may report less measures in any category because you can share these reporting measures with your group. You may also gain positive incentive by reporting as a group if you were previously told, as an individual, that you were excluded from the program in 2017.
To begin reporting as a group, you would assess the combined annual reimbursement from Medicare to verify that your group is meeting the $30,000 requirement. You and the other members of your group would then reassign your NPI to a TIN and begin reporting to the required categories and measures. This still excludes reporters who were first licensed in 2017, where no reimbursements are available.
Incentives are paid out at the TIN level and will reflect the outcome of the unified reporting. All category information must be reported as a group and in the same manner of attestation. For example, you would not report to the Quality and Improvement categories with your group and attest to your individual Advancing Care measures using a different submission method.
All three categories must be attested to using an aggregate of the data collected by all group members during reporting. This means groups cannot report the Quality category using G-Coded claims, as these billings are not seen as combined. The Quality category, for groups, would consist of reporting up to 6 collective Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs).
There are pitfalls to reporting as a group such as being dependent on each member of the group to "pull their weight." You could also inherit a poor Quality score when joining a new group. Knowing all of the facts about the group you plan to work with could lead to a positive decision or create more work in the long run.

Year in 2016
By Jay Balfour
The dynamic Atlanta rapper Trouble's year-in-review mixtape is a smart flex, featuring collaborations with Young Thug, Fetty Wap, Quavo, and others.
The Atlanta rapper Mariel Semonte Orr, aka Trouble, released his first mixtape in 2011, aligning himself with the nascent locals of Duct Tape Entertainment, a label founded by rappers from the same Edgewood Court section of East Atlanta. DTE hasn't launched a full-fledged star from its roster, but over the last couple years, Trouble's name has been popping up a bit more conspicuously. Trouble now seems like the imprint's best chance at a resurgence; he has been earning the attention with some of the most interesting music of his career. His latest mixtape, Year in 2016, is a hasty year-in-review project, and functions as a fan-service document as well as an open invitation to catch up.
In 2015, Trouble made the best of an appearance on Young Thug's Slime Season 2 mixtape: He slunk into bar-trading stride with one of hip-hop's squirrelliest vocalists and helped to slur out the "Thief in the Night" hook, which propelled that banger in the first place. The appearance wasn't an exhaustive come-up, but it suddenly cast Trouble in a newly capable, vital light. Trouble has been nurturing that collaborative spirit for years, and he's become an increasingly reliable Atlanta team-player. Accordingly, Year in 2016 hosts enough Atlanta rappers to scan like a local studio sampler. The posse cut "Watchu Doin," one of several here culled from Trouble's 2016 mixtape Skoobzilla, corners him with Quavo, Young Thug, and Skippa Da Flippa. Quavo and Trouble co-pilot a tumbling, charged-up hook; on a busy beat with some big personalities, Trouble sounds indispensable, never like an add-on. It's not an isolated occurrence: Trouble holds his own through a handful of other crowded tracks here, too.
More than ever, Trouble has opened up as a rapper, having long since retired the slow-talk flow he barked out on clunky early songs. Trouble is now more likely to channel the audacity and emotion of his bars in snappier ways. There's still something endearingly awkward about the way he ladles his voice: sometimes shouty and yelping, others mumbling or singing a slur.
Lyrically, "Ahh Man" may be Trouble's most depressing banger ever, in which he sours a piano loop with downright gloom. He moans about not wanting to answer his phone, justifies drinking because of his father's health, and cops to copping pills for his grandmother in legitimate need. ("I guess the system just ain't showing no love/I got her a pack off the street though," he fesses.) He contemplates his uncertainties: "Sometimes I be blaming myself/For the doubt I brought down on myself."
On "She in Love Wit Trouble," another solo track with some wonky trap synths dancing in the background, Semonte plays the boastful homewrecker; he flips his own name into an easy pun for a playful melody. If there's a lasting effect of this tape, and Trouble's recent success, it's that he's become an increasingly adept hook slinger—prone to staying in pocket melodically, but versatile and daring in every other sense.
Not all the songs on Year in 2016 originally belonged to the headliner, but when Trouble plays the featured artist, he's dynamic enough to make an impression. Still, a pair of Fetty Wap collaborations fall flat, not for lack of chemistry so much as a missed mark to begin with. And only one of Young Thug's three appearances marks a return to their banger's duet style. That track, the Goose-produced "Respect," stands out early in the tape: Thug's no-filler second verse might be the attention grabber, but the song belongs to Trouble from the moment he lists his bonafides in the hook.
Year in 2016 rounds up the best of Trouble's best year yet, but it presses too much into a single compilation for a gratifying continuous listen. Still, an overloaded comp feels like a smart flex for Trouble, ample proof that he's suddenly, quietly launched an urgent second act. If you haven't been keeping up, Trouble is the type to remind you he's been here all along.

Kunsthaus Zürich
Credit Suisse has worked with the Kunsthaus Zürich for many years, forging a relationship that culminated in official "partner" status at the beginning of 2005. This partnership manifests itself primarily in the role Credit Suisse plays as the main sponsor of the principal annual exhibition.
The Kunsthaus Zürich owns 17 paintings by Edvard Munch – the largest selection of works outside of Norway – as well as other significant collections. First and foremost among these are the collection from the Alberto Giacometti Foundation, which affords a comprehensive view of all major aspects of the artist's oeuvre, and the most famous works by Johann Heinrich Füssli. These were recently joined by the Bührle and Looser collections. The bank sponsors each year's main exhibition and various public relations and outreach projects, for example, an open house event.

The Kunstmuseum Basel, one of Switzerland's oldest and most renowned art institutions, benefits particularly from its prime geographical location. The Kunstmuseum Basel collection focuses on paintings and drawings by artists from the Upper Rhine region between 1400 and 1600, as well as on artworks from the 19th to the 21st century.
The museum lays claim to the world's largest collection of works by the Holbein family. Among the periods represented is the German Renaissance, with major works by Witz, Cranach, and Grünewald. Highlights from the 19th century include paintings by Böcklin, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Cézanne. In the 20th century, the emphasis is on Cubism, German Expressionism, and US art since 1950. Contemporary art is displayed at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst. Recently expanded, the Kunstmuseum Basel is now housed in three buildings (the main building, the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel, and the new building). The extension heralds the start of a new era. With its three buildings, the Kunstmuseum Basel now has a total exhibition space of about 10,000 m2 at its disposal. Credit Suisse has been supporting the Kunstmuseum Basel since 2012.

Pressure on Hancock over pub landlord's Covid deal
Felicity Lawrence
Former health secretary defends his record to MPs, saying there was 'no contract between the firm and the department or NHS'
Former health secretary Matt Hancock was under pressure on Wednesday to set the record straight over £40m of government Covid-related work won by his former pub landlord after he accused Labour of "fabrication" about the deal.
The Guardian first revealed in November 2020 that a former neighbour in Hancock's constituency had been awarded work supplying the government with tens of millions of vials for NHS Covid-19 tests despite having had no previous experience of producing medical supplies.
Alex Bourne, who used to run a pub close to Hancock's former constituency home in Suffolk, said he initially offered his services to the health secretary by sending him a personal WhatsApp message.
On Tuesday, Hancock had told Labour party chair Anneliese Dodds that Labour's efforts to suggest Bourne had been favoured because of his acquaintance with the health secretary were a slur: "I have heard this point about this pub landlord and I just want to tell her and the House, and put it formally on the record, and after this I hope the Labour party will also stop this slur, that the man in question never got nor applied for a contract from the government or the NHS at all. It is a fabrication pushed by the Labour party. It's a load of rubbish."
Hancock was speaking after the deputy speaker, Eleanor Laing, responded to a point of order from Dodds by encouraging him to correct the record if he had misled the House of Commons. Hancock instead defended his record.
Bourne's company Hinpack did not have a direct contract with the Department of Health and Social Care or the NHS but was subcontracted for the Covid work to a supplier already approved by the NHS, Alpha Laboratories.
Hancock told MPs: "Of course, the Department of Health and the NHS does not have a say in sub-contracting arrangements."
However, the contract which is between Alpha and the secretary of state for health, and signed by a civil servant on his behalf in December 2020, stipulated that all the work would be subcontracted to Hinpack, the Guardian revealed earlier this year.
Exchanges between the two men later emerged, after multiple contested freedom of information requests, showing the former health secretary had personally referred his old neighbour on to an official.
The Good Law Project, which has been challenging the government in court over its awarding of Covid contracts, published details of the contract involving Bourne on Twitter, which it said undermined Hancock's account in the house. This prompted Dodds to call for Hancock to return to parliament and correct the record, reigniting the controversy.
Bourne and Hancock insist no favours were asked for or given in the award of the work. Hancock replied to Dodds: "This point of order and the point made in it demonstrates very clearly that there was no contract between the firm being discussed and the department or the NHS.
"So what this has done is demonstrated finally and for the record that there was no such contract between my constituent and the department or NHS. No matter how hard they look or how deep they dig, all that will be discovered is a lot of people working hard to save lives. That's what was going on."

Bain Capital weighs bid for stake in Sodexo benefits unit – sources
Bain Capital is looking to bid for a stake in the benefits and rewards services unit of French food caterer Sodexo as the Paris-listed firm is on the lookout for investors that could help fund the group's turnaround, sources told Reuters. Sodexo, which has a market value of 12 billion euros ($13.7 billion), is looking to sell a minority stake of about 30% in the business which has been driving the group's post-COVID recovery by providing employee benefit programmes as well as meal vouchers and gift cards, one of the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Sodexo's benefits unit delivered a 7% jump in organic revenues in its latest quarterly results.

"Going on stage in front of a few hundred people is a completely unnatural situation...my instincts are always to run in the opposite direction, but you have to kind of lean into it, which I guess is why we love to do it I suppose."
"Being successful is largely about relationships that you cultivate with people...It's a business and people have to be reminded of who you are and you have to reach out to people...Life's short, the business is small, and your attitude has to be as on point as your acting has to be."
"There's nothing wrong with being typecast, being typecast means that you're working, it means that you're actually getting paid to do this...If you want to be a pro, you have to be valuable."


As an employer of labour in the United Kingdom, it is important that you are up to speed with your obligations towards preventing illegal migrants working. The Immigration Act 1996 makes it a criminal offence to have in employment someone who has no right to work in the UK.
Importantly, different visas have different work restrictions. Business organisations must understand these restrictions and act in compliance with those rules. Businesses are also required to check and copy certain original documents of employees (migrant) to serve as defence against conviction for supporting illegal migrants working in the UK.
Employers must understand that immigration compliance is not just about illegal migrant working or simply refusing to recruit persons who do not have rights to work, it involves much more than that. Adequate HR systems must be in place to check that workers who have limited time to work do not work exceed their working hour restrictions; ensuring that an employee who was erstwhile a legal worker is not now illegal; ensuring that part time workers based on work restrictions only work part time, etc.
At Reiss Edwards, we have a team of expert immigration lawyers who specialise in Immigration compliance and audit service. Our compliance lawyers boast of over 30 years of experience combined; dealing with varied degrees of compliance and audit issues.
A thorough assessment of the existing HR systems, processes and procedures.
This section provides stakeholders with resources in relation to the administration of their compliance systems. It highlights stakeholders duties and obligations as well as preventive measures to be taken in different simulated scenarios.
This Immigration compliance toolkit furnishes employers with the necessary resources to enable them comply with legal requirements as well as positioning them to minimise liabilities.
In the event that you do not seek the right permission to recruit skilled labour from abroad; as well as perform recommended documentation checks, you are at risk for fines of up to £20,000 per specialist and, now and again, even detainment.
It is very important that employers keep tabs with the changes in the immigration rules as well as improve the knowledge of internal teams most especially key immigration personnel and the key HR staff. Their knowledge is key to ensuring compliance.

I made an application for a sponsor licence last two years. I have never had a visit from the Home Office and I have seen other people who were granted sponsor licence before me having visits from the Home Office. Is this a good thing or bad thing. I am just worried that they may not have my records properly.
I have never been visited by the Home Office, how should I prepare And what does a visit from the Home Office actually entail?
My friend just told me that they Home Office just showed up unannounced at their Office to search and quiz his employees? Is this even legal? Are all visits announced or unannounced?
I have just been informed that the Home Office is coming to visit my company. I have tried to ensure that my records are up to date and my HR system is solid. If however, I am found to be in breach or there are compliance issues what are the consequences? Will my company be closed down?
The Home Office visited my company last month and the outcome wasn't quite positive. Will be me and my business if my sponsor licence is suspended? I am also a migrant on a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa.
Is there any different between a revoked sponsor licence and a suspended sponsor licence. What happens if my sponsor licence is revoked?
If my sponsor licence have been revoked, how can I challenge this decision. I believe my sponsor licence have been revoked unjustly.
If my sponsor licence has been downgraded what do I do to make sure it is upgraded again. My sponsor licence has just been downgraded and I need help to help me set things up to make sure that it is upgraded again. Is there any hope in this.
What do I do if I without knowing find out that one of my staff no longer has a valid leave to continue working or is in the process of appealing the decision. My HR flagged off an employee as not having a valid leave, he says something about 2C 3C leave, how does this relate?
Immigration rules keep changing every now and then. Can an employer realistically keep on top of all the immigration rule changes, what happens if I miss something?

Леонид Евсеевич Ещин (1897—1930) — русский поэт и журналист.

Биография
Старший сын журналиста и политического деятеля Евсея Марковича Ещина. По окончании нижегородской гимназии поступил на историко-филологический факультет Московского университета. В 1915 г. оставил университет и поступил в Александровское военное училище.

После Октябрьской революции вошёл в состав тайной офицерской организации, руководимой полковником А. Перхуровым. Летом 1918 г. выехал в Ярославль, где принял участие в антибольшевистском восстании. Покинул Ярославль за 4 дня до подавления восстания в составе отряда из 50 человек во главе с Перхуровым, высланного за подкреплением; с ним добрался до Казани, где поступил на службу в Народную армию.

С 1919 г. служил адъютантом командира Ижевской стрелковой дивизии полковника В. Молчанова. Участвовал в Великом Сибирском Ледяном походе, с войсками Молчанова дошёл до Приморья. Попав в 1921 г. во Владивосток, сотрудничал с местной печатью, выпустил книгу «Стихи таёжного похода».

В 1922 г., после захвата большевиками Владивостока, был переправлен на японском судне в Корею, где около года провёл в беженских лагерях. С 1923 г. жил в Харбине. Изредка публиковался в местной прессе. По свидетельствам современников, умер от крайней нищеты и злоупотребления алкоголем; существует также неподтверждённая версия о самоубийстве поэта.

О Ещине оставили воспоминания Юстина Крузенштерн-Петерец и Арсений Несмелов. Он фигурирует в рассказах Несмелова «Удачный заголовок», «Чудесный подарок», «Голубое одеяло», ему же поэт посвятил отдельное стихотворение. Крайне искажённый портрет Ещина под именем Евсеев дан в романе Н. Ильиной «Возвращение». В архиве матери Ильиной, Е. Д. Воейковой, сохранились стихи Ещина (в том числе посвящённые ей), опубликованные посмертно.

'India can't be defined in words, can only be experienced from heart'
He said the beginning of the world's longest river cruise service on river Ganga is a landmark moment. It will herald a new age of tourism in India.
Prime Minister Narendra ModiANI
NEW DELHI: Highlighting the country's development strides and cultural heritage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India cannot be defined in words and can only be experienced from the heart.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the world's longest river cruise MV Ganga Vilas in Varanasi via video conferencing on Friday. He also inaugurated the Tent City at Varanasi and laid the foundation stones for several other inland waterways projects worth more than Rs 1,000 crore.
Addressing the ceremony via video conferencing, PM Modi said, "This is the decade of transforming India's infrastructure. India has everything that one can imagine. It also has a lot beyond your imagination. India cannot be defined in words. India can only be experienced from the heart because India it always opened her heart for everyone, irrespective of region or religion, creed or country."
"Wherever the cruise passes through, it will create a new line of development. Today, foundation stones have been laid for several other inland waterways projects worth more than Rs 1000 crores. This will expand trade and tourism and employment opportunities in eastern India," Prime Minister said.
PM said Ganga is not just a stream for the people of the country but is the symbol of India's penance.
PM Modi said the commencement of MV Ganga Vilas river cruise which will sail over 3,200 km is a living example of the development of inland waterways in the country. He said work is being done on the development of 111 national water highways across 24 States.
An official of Port, Shipping and Waterways told ANI that the world's longest River Cruise MV Ganga Vilas is the first-ever cruise vessel to be made in India.
MV Ganga Vilas will begin its journey from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and travel around 3,200 km in 51 days to reach Dibrugarh in Assam via Bangladesh, sailing across 27 river systems in India and Bangladesh.
MV Ganga Vilas has three decks, 18 suites on board with a capacity of 36 tourists, with all the luxury amenities. The maiden voyage has 32 tourists from Switzerland signing up for the entire length of the journey.
The MV Ganga Vilas cruise is curated to bring out the best of the country to be showcased to the world. The 51 days cruise is planned with visits to 50 tourist spots including World Heritage Sites, National Parks, River Ghats, and major cities like Patna in Bihar, Sahibganj in Jharkhand, Kolkata in West Bengal, Dhaka in Bangladesh, and Guwahati in Assam.
The journey will give the tourists an opportunity to embark upon an experiential voyage and indulge in the art, culture, history, and spirituality of India and Bangladesh.
Further, Tent City has been conceptualized on the banks of the River Ganga to tap the potential of tourism in the region. The project has been developed opposite to city ghats which will provide accommodation facilities and cater to the increased tourist influx in Varanasi, especially since the inauguration of Kashi Vishwanath Dham.
It has been developed by Varanasi Development Authority. The tourists will reach the Tent City by boats from different Ghats situated in the vicinity. The tent city will be operational from October to June every year and will be dismantled for three months due to rise in river water level in the rainy season.

State Department sets out 3-year timeline for new data strategy
It follows the launch of a similar data strategy last week by the Department of Commerce.
(U.S. Department of State / Flickr)
The State Department has outlined plans to launch a new data strategy over the next three years, which it says will ensure the U.S. continues to have a world-leading diplomatic service.
State's new data strategy is centered on four goals including the cultivation of a data-focused culture, accelerated decision-making through analytics, and enhanced data governance, according to policy documents published Monday.
"When our foreign affairs professionals are equipped with high-quality and timely data, we can help make the world safer, more just, and less divided," the department said in the documents. "This strategy, and a following implementation plan, are set on a three-year time horizon to create momentum, deliver rapid return on its efforts to support the department's workforce, and provide accountability to American taxpayers."
Specific details of the strategy outlined by the State Department include plans to hire new staff with data expertise and changes to how it uses metrics to assess the efficacy of agency programs.
The launch of State's new strategy comes just days after the Department of Commerce launched a similar data plan for fiscal years 2021 to 2024. That plan also sets out an array of strategic goals for that department to adhere to, including coordinating data collaboration and more efficient data access and analysis.
Under the new strategy, State said it will also seek to pilot and scale artificial intelligence and machine learning applications to accelerate decision-making.
Agencies across the federal government have been forced to fast-track their approach to digital security and the use of data following the Biden administration's cybersecurity executive order in May.
Under the Evidence-Based Policymaking Act, which was passed in 2018, agencies are mandated to increase the visibility of data and promote its use for decision-making.

LIVERPOOL are in the race to sign Lazio forward Mauro Zarate.
The 25-year-old Argentine has been on the fringes of the Lazio first team this season, managing only one Serie A appearance.
Zarate is known to English football fans, having enjoyed a successful loan spell at Birmingham in 2008.
But Liverpool have a battle on their hands, with Sunderland and Stoke believed to be keen on him too.
Sunderland in particular are looking to add more firepower up front, and appear to be closing in on a move for Swansea City's Danny Graham.
And Lazio could well part company with Zarate, as they want to free up funds and space in their squad.
Zarate is yet to get off the mark for Lazio this season.

5 Questions to Ask Before You Get a Hysterectomy
Endometriosis, Periods & Menstrual Cycles
My gynecologist recommended I get a hysterectomy because my periods weren't just irregular, I was spotting all the time. He said it's a simple surgery and I'd feel much better afterward. So, I scheduled the surgery without even thinking, "should I get a hysterectomy?" I didn't ask the gynecologist any questions — nor did I get a second opinion from another doctor.

Getting Pregnant With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
February 4, 2010 July 18, 2012
Emotional Health, Female Fertility, Infertility Help, Medical Infertility, Medical Research
Yes, getting pregnant if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome is possible! One of the major causes of infertility for women is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and it can prevent them from conceiving a baby. But, the good news is that PCOS can be treated, and women with PCOS can get pregnant.
Here's the latest information about polycystic ovarian syndrome from Northwestern University.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a metabolic disorder and one of the major causes of hormonally related infertility for women, yet the disorder remains largely undiagnosed and unknown. About five million women in the United States are affected by it.
"[Before being diagnosed with PCOS], women are told they are too fat and aren't taken seriously for a long time," says Andrea Dunaif, M.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "They go to an average of four doctors before they are diagnosed. They have been to physicians who say 'there is nothing wrong with you, don't worry'."
If you think you may have polycystic ovarian syndrome but your doctor hasn't diagnosed it, consider getting a second or third opinion. If you have PCOS and are wondering if you can get pregnant, read The PCOS Workbook: Your Guide to Complete Physical and Emotional Health — it may help!
And, here's the latest research on female infertility from from Northwestern, plus a story of one woman's struggle with PCOS…

"Monday 5 Things"™ ….. Of Lists …..
D. Paul Graham,
Photo: D. Paul Graham, "The List", The Montage, Palmetto Bluff SC, 2019
I love this time of year, if only because we are about to start a new year. I'm a planner by nature. A strategist by design. As such, I make lists. Copious amounts of lists; either in my head, in notebooks, or in files. With one week left in 2022, in between travel, family, friends, food, and libations, I have once again begun to make lists to start 2023. This morning's M5T lists some of my lists. What's on yours?
1. A list of who
A list of who showed me compassion and kindness. Who taught me things. Who should I thank. Who have I hurt and need to apologize to. Who has hurt me, and I need to forgive. Who I should make more time for.
2. A list of elimination
A list of excuses, procrastinations, comfort zones, bad habits, and negative thoughts that have held me back from things I want to achieve this year. Then a list of ways to eliminate these from my life and begin 2023 at full pace.
3. A list of thankfulness
What and who brought me joy. What and who gave me peace. What and who inspired me. What do I need to show more appreciation for. For the blessings of those who love me despite my failings. For my life. For redemption and salvation. For freewill. For the opportunity to create.
4. A list of excitement
What do I find beautiful. What makes me relax. What music makes me want to sing at the top of my lungs in my car. What makes me laugh. What makes my heart race. What do I want to indulge in, to luxuriate in, to cherish.
5. A list of changes
What I should change. What will I refuse to change. A list of possibilities for the coming year. What toxic habits and people need to be changed. What opportunities should I explore. What goals, objectives, dreams, and realities should I recommit to and focus on. Where do I need to spend my time to make these changes in the New Year.
I hope you had a blessed time with your family and friends this weekend. Here's to a week of the whatever and whomever is on your lists.

You can make an online complaint, download a complaint form, or send a letter, fax or email. For more information see 'Making a complaint'.
any organisation offering a health service, such as public and private hospitals, and day surgeries and medical centres.
What can I complain about to the Commission?
You can complain about the professional conduct of a health practitioner and/or the clinical care and treatment provided by an individual or organisation.
What if I wish to remain anonymous?
All information you provide to the Commission is treated confidentially. However, in order to assess the issues raised in a complaint, the Commission usually seeks a response from the health service provider and is required to notify them of the nature of the complaint and who made it. By remaining anonymous it may make it difficult to obtain a relevant response to the specific issues and the Commission will not be able to clarify any information you provided or ask for further information that it may needs to assess the complaint. If this is the case, the Commission may have to discontinue dealing with a complaint.
You may wish to discuss this with the Inquiry Service before lodging your complaint. Sometimes, you may be able to make an anonymous notification to the Commission, but not a formal complaint. The Commission will record any information about a health service provider it receives in writing in its database. This may be useful, as where the notification alleges serious issues of public health and safety, the Commission has a discretion to initiate its own complaints. In addition, where the Commission receives a complaint about a health service provider, it considers previous complaints and notifications about the same provider that are recorded in its database.
Is it free to lodge a complaint?
There are no costs when making a complaint.
You cannot be sued for making a complaint, unless you intentionally make false allegations or provide false information to the Commission. It is an offence to knowingly provide false information to the Commission.
A health service provider is required to provide treatment in an emergency situation. However, in non-emergency situations a health service provider can refuse to treat you.
What if I want to obtain compensation?
The Commission cannot compel a health service provider to compensate you. Should you wish to pursue compensation, you can seek legal advice.
What if I want to obtain a refund?
The Commission cannot compel a health service provider to provide you with a refund. Should you wish to pursue a refund, you can seek legal advice or contact the Office of Fair Trading.
Can I complain about the fees that a health service provider charges me?
The Commission cannot compel a health service provider to alter their fees or make any recommendations in relation to their fees. The Australian Medical Association (AMA) states that all members are duty bound to make their own judgment as to what fees they will charge for any service. Health service providers should consider in each individual case what a fair and reasonable fee is, taking into account their own costs, experience and the particular circumstances of the case and the patient. More information about fees in health care is available on this website.
Can the Commission change what is written in my medical records?
The Commission cannot make changes to your medical records. In general, nothing can be removed from your medical records. If you are unhappy with comments/information in your records, you can submit your own comments to the health service provider and ask that these be added to your records. More information about medical records and how to access them is available on this website.


The Irvine Museum celebrates the work of California's historic women artists in the new exhibition Independent Visions: Women Artists of California 1880-1940, on display October 3, 2015 through January 21, 2016. The exhibition highlights a wide variety of artistic styles, including the Tonalist style of the late 1800s, the Impressionist period of the early 1900s, and the Regionalist style of the 1930s and 1940s. The works vary from classically-inspired portraits and still-lifes to bold Modernist paintings that document the progressive trends of women painters.
Artists featured in Independent Visions include Mabel Alvarez (1891-1985), Eliza Barchus (1857-1959), Loren Barton (1893-1975), Elizabeth Borglum (1848-1922), Jessie Arms Botke (1883-1971), Alice Chittenden (1859-1944), Elanor Colburn (1866-1939), Meta Cressey (1882-1964), Euphemia Charlton Fortune (1885-1969), Anna Hills (1882-1945), Mary Hobart (1873-1946), Grace Carpenter Hudson (1865-1937), Reva Jackman (1892-1966), Evelyn McCormick (1862-1948), Louise Nimmo (1899-1959), Julie Morrow (1882-1979), Elsie Palmer Payne (1884-1971), Mary Curtis Richardson (1848-1941), Ruth Peabody (1893-1966), Donna Schuster (1883-1953), Henrietta Shore (1880-1963), Luvena Vysekal (1873-1954), Marion Wachtel (1876-1954), Julia Bracken Wendt (1870-1942), Blanche Whelan (1889-1974), and Edith White (1855-1946).
Far from being limited to a dilettante role, women artists in California were important figures in early California art during the late nineteenth and early part of the twentieth century. They excelled in landscape painting, as well as portrait, figural, and still-life. Moreover, they set the standard in such diverse media as oil painting, watercolor, and sculpture. Not all early California painters were working in the Academic or Impressionist manner. Starting in about 1914, a group of progressive artists, many of whom were women, began to show works of strong Modernist styles. Their use of vivid color and bold form is in stark contrast to the realistic appearance of the plein air paintings usually associated with this period.
The central attraction in Independent Visions is a 7 feet by 26 feet mural by Jessie Arms Botke (1883-1971), a gift to The Irvine Museum from The Oaks at Ojai, for which the mural was painted in 1953. It represents a scene in the Everglades, full of exotic birds and plants, set in a bright field of gold leaf. Nationally known as one of the important American Art Deco painters, Botke's works shimmer with color, graceful line and exquisite detail, and are often times covered by large areas of gold leaf as part of the design.


97% Natural. 3% Synthetic. Just one of our Noughty choices. So what does synthetic actually mean, what is the 3% and why is it a Noughty choice?
A synthetic substance or synthetic compound refers to a substance that is man-made by synthesis, rather than being produced by nature. In other words, if human intervention is required, then the substance is considered synthetic. On the other hand, if it's found in nature, then it's natural.
The 3% synthetic ingredients in Noughty products are preservatives, stabilizers and fragrance – elements critical to high performance, safe haircare that's a joy to use. At Noughty, transparency is of utmost importance to us so here's why we're loud and proud about that 3%: because it matters.
PRESERVATIVES – more than just stopping the product from going off after opening or turning green and growing, preservatives ensure that your product is safe to use for its entire lifespan (that's the period after opening, or PAO on the back of the pack).
STABILIZERS – these are the ingredients that maintain the performance of the product. Things like emulsifiers that keep the plant oils and water-based extracts from separating. Stabilizers help us deliver on our commitment to high performance.
FRAGRANCE – we temper our use of natural fragrance ingredients with nature identical and synthetic notes because we believe in a balance between performance, safety and the natural. Natural fragrances can irritate some sensitive skins and can contain known allergens so we find natural fragrance ingredients are best used in small doses. We work hard to ensure our fragrances perform, and that's why they are carefully crafted to bring you a divine sensorial experience. Natural versus synthetic fragrance is a topic we are often asked about, so keep an eye out for our up and coming blog that dives deeper in to fragrance.
So for us, the decision to use synthetic ingredients is a conscious one and is based on our understanding of the limitations of natural sustainability as well as pure chemistry.
While natural is really important to us, ingredients have to be sustainable. Some ingredients occur at such low levels in nature that it would be unsustainable and hugely wasteful to use the natural. Some plant ingredients are so endangered through human use that it is unethical to use them. And sometimes synthetic chemistry enables us to create something that just isn't possible naturally. Our choice to use 97% natural, gives us the flexibility to choose where and when natural or synthetic is more sustainable.
In addition, over the past two decades, botanists, scientists and cosmetic chemists have worked hard to find alternatives to synthetic ingredients in nature. Specifically in plants. But it's very challenging; as any gardener knows, plants don't always do what you'd like them to. They don't always produce the plant chemistry to replace synthetic chemistry. So while the brainiacs keep looking, we'll be using that 3% to preserve, fragrance and hold together Noughty products, making them safe, sweet smelling and effective for you no matter where you are on the globe.
97% natural, 3% synthetic. 100% Noughty.

Lead poisoning is one of the greatest health risks that children face. Ingestion of even very small amounts of lead can cause a variety of severe and irreversible health problems, including decreased muscle and bone growth, speech and language problems, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder and decreased intelligence. Children under the age of 7 are especially at risk because their brains are still developing.
Lead was used in both interior and exterior paint until 1978. 70% of housing in Saint Joseph County was built before 1978, which puts residents at high risk for lead-based paint hazards. Children can be exposed to lead-based paint that is chipping and cracking, or lead-based paint dust. Areas of concern around the home that children may chew or that get a lot of wear and tear include: widows, window sills, doors, door frames, stairs, railings, banisters and porches.
The St. Joseph County Health Department conducts free lead risk assessments in homes with children under the age of 7, homes where pregnant women reside, or homes where a lead-poisoned child has already been identified.
To schedule a lead risk assessment or to get more information about lead poisoning, contact the Health Department at (574) 235-9582.
The Health Department offers free blood lead draws for children under the age of 7 at the South Bend Immunization Clinic, by appointment only. Free testing is also available at any South Bend Medical Foundation location with a completed lead certificate. To request a certificate, please call (574) 245-6755.

Some prominent Russians quit jobs, refuse to support war
FILE - Russian President Vladimir Putin, left, listens to RUSNANO CEO Anatoly Chubais in the Novo-Ogaryovo residence, outside Moscow, Russia, Monday, Nov. 7, 2016. The resignation of Chubais, who was Putin's envoy to international organizations for sustainable development, was not the first resignation of a state official over the war with Ukraine, but it was one of the most striking.
NEW YORK (AP) — The resignation of a senior Russian government official and his reported move abroad wasn't the first voluntary departure of a person from a state job since the start of Russia's war with Ukraine, but it certainly was one of the most striking.
Anatoly Chubais, who was President Vladimir Putin's envoy to international organizations on sustainable development, is well known in Russia. He held high-profile posts for nearly three decades, beginning under Boris Yeltsin, the first post-Soviet leader.
A number of public figures have condemned the invasion of Ukraine and left their posts at state-run institutions and companies, which could signal divisions in Russia's official ranks over the war. So far there have been no indications that the resignations have reached into Putin's inner circle.
The handful of departures came as Putin blasted those opposing his course as "scum and traitors," which Russian society would spit out "like a gnat."
Some of the high-profile figures who have turned their backs on the Kremlin because of the war:
ANATOLY CHUBAIS
On Wednesday, the Kremlin confirmed media reports about the resignation of Chubais, 66, who was the architect of Yeltsin's privatization campaign. The reports, citing anonymous sources, said he stepped down because of the war. He hasn't publicly commented on his resignation.
Under Yeltsin, Chubais reportedly recommended the administration hire Putin, a move that was widely seen as an important stepping stone in Putin's career. Putin became president of Russia in 2000, when Yeltsin stepped down.
Chubais also was deputy prime minister from 1994 to 1996 and first deputy prime minister from 1997-98.
The Russian business newspaper Kommersant reported Wednesday that Chubais was seen in Istanbul this week and ran a photo of a man resembling him at a Turkish ATM. Since the start of the invasion, Istanbul has taken in many Russians looking to relocate.
ARKADY DVORKOVICH
Arkady Dvorkovich once served as Russia's deputy prime minister and is currently chairman of the International Chess Federation, or FIDE. He criticized the war with Ukraine in comments made to Mother Jones magazine on March 14 and came under fire from the Kremlin's ruling party.
"Wars are the worst things one might face in life. Any war. Anywhere. Wars do not just kill priceless lives. Wars kill hopes and aspirations, freeze or destroy relationships and connections. Including this war," he said.
Dvorkovich added that FIDE was "making sure there are no official chess activities in Russia or Belarus, and that players are not allowed to represent Russia or Belarus in official or rated events until the war is over and Ukrainian players are back in chess."
FIDE banned a top Russian player for six months for his vocal support of Putin and the invasion.
Two days after Dvorkovich's comments, a top official in the United Russia party demanded that he be fired as chair of the state-backed Skolkovo Foundation. Last week, the foundation reported that Dvorkovich decided to step down.
LILIA GILDEYEVA
Lilia Gildeyeva was a longtime anchor at the state-funded NTV channel, which for two decades has carefully toed the Kremlin line. She quit the job and left Russia shortly after the invasion.
She told the independent news site The Insider this week that she decided "to stop all this" on the first day of the Feb. 24 invasion.
"It was an immediate nervous breakdown," she said. "For several days I couldn't pull myself together. The decision was probably obvious right away. There won't be any more work."
Gildeyeva said news coverage on state TV channels was tightly controlled by the authorities, with channels getting orders from officials. She admitted to going along with it since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and began supporting a separatist insurgency in Ukraine.
"When you gradually give in to yourself, you don't notice the depth of the fall. And at some point, you find yourself face to face with the picture that leads to Feb. 24," she said.
ZHANNA AGALAKOVA
Zhanna Agalakova was a journalist for another state-run TV channel, Channel One, spending more than 20 years there and working as an anchor and then a correspondent in Paris, New York and other Western countries.
News reports about Agalakova quitting her job began emerging three weeks after the invasion. This week, she gave a news conference in Paris confirming the reports and explaining her decision.
"We have come to a point when on TV, on the news, we're seeing the story of only one person — or the group of people around him. All we see are those in power. In our news, we don't have the country. In our news, we don't have Russia," Agalakova said.
Referring to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the support of the separatists in Ukraine, she said that she "could not hide from the propaganda anymore," even as a foreign correspondent. Agalakova said she had to "only talk about the bad things happening in the U.S."
"My reports didn't contain lies, but that's exactly how propaganda works: You take reliable facts, mix them up, and a big lie comes together. Facts are true, but their mix is propaganda," she said.

Описание: In the annals of fashion history, French couturier Paul Poiret (1879-1944) is known for liberating women from corsets and introducing pantaloons for women. However, it is Poirets innovations in the cut and construction of clothing, made all the more remarkable by the fact that he could not sew, that secures his legacy. This essential book is the first to explore Poirets radical modernity from a number of perspectives. Essays by renowned scholars describe the historical context of his work_RT_ its relation to the dominant artistic discourses of the early twentieth century_RT_ his muse, Deni e Poiret, and her influence on his work_RT_ and, his role in the paradigmatic shift to a new ideal of feminine beauty. Poirets entrepreneurship, his creation of an atelier to extend his influence beyond fashion to the art de vivre, and his relationship to the workshops of the Wiener Werkstatte are also discussed. Poirets innovative creations are represented by colourful pochoirs (stencils), personal photographs from the Poiret family archives, and newly commissioned photographs of Poirets masterworks.


Born on December 31, 1937, in Port Talbot, Wales, Anthony Hopkins pursued a stage career before working in film in the late '60s. Known for a variety of projects ranging from The Dawning to The Remains of the Day to Amistad, Hopkins has been nominated for several Oscars, winning for The Silence of the Lambs. His more fantastical work includes Titus, The Mask of Zorro and Thor, as well as HBO's Westworld.
In 2003 Hopkins married his third wife, antiques dealer Stella Arroyave, who hails from Colombia. He was previously married to Jennifer Lynton, from 1973 to 2002, and before that had been married to Petronella Barker, from 1967 to 1972. He and Barker had one daughter, Abigail Hopkins, who was born in 1968.
Hopkins' career began heating up in the 1970s and '80s. He won an Emmy for his role as Bruno Richard Hauptmann in The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case (1976). Throughout the 1980s, Hopkins continued to impress the critics with his work in film and TV, winning multiple Emmy Awards and a BAFTA Award.
In 1989 Hopkins returned to the stage for a production of the musical drama M. Butterfly. But it was in 1991 that Hopkins, now well into his fifties, finally found himself shot to superstardom. His unforgettable, 17-minute performance as the infamous psychopath Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs frightened and wowed fans and critics alike. At the time he took the role, Hopkins had been considering giving up on movies and retiring to London for a career on the stage. The fortuitous role resulted in not only an Oscar but a distinguished place in the popular consciousness as perhaps the number one on-screen villain of all time.
Hopkins has since played the role again in the films' sequels. Following up his first real Hollywood blockbuster, Hopkins wisely chose to follow up with his film The Remains of the Day (1993), for which he was nominated for another Academy Award. He would be nominated again for Nixon (1995) and Amistad (1997).
In 1993 Hopkins was knighted by the British Empire. In April 2000, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States and, in 2006, he was awarded the Golden Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
The acclaimed actor has continued to work in major motion pictures in recent years, appearing in such films as Proof (2005), Beowulf (2007) and Thor (2011). More recently, he was cast as famed horror movie director Alfred Hitchcock in the 2012 biopic Hitchcock. Hopkins earned raves for his starring role in the film, which includes Helen Mirren as Hitchcock's wife, Alma Reville. The movie explores the making of Hitchock's horror classic Psycho.
Continuing playing a range of roles on the big screen, Hopkins played the biblical character Methuselah in Noah (2014) and also appeared in Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) as Sir Edmund Burton.
On the small screen he's also found interesting characters to play, specifically on HBO's sci-fi thriller, Westworld, starring as AI mastermind Robert Ford. The first season, which premiered in 2016, became one of the most-watched dramas among the network's original programming and has won multiple Emmys.
Philip Anthony Hopkins was born on December 31, 1937, in Margam, Port Talbot, Wales. Hopkins is the son of Muriel Yeats — a distant relative of the Irish poet William Butler Yeats — and Richard Hopkins. His early years in Wales and schooling at Cowbridge Grammar School were relatively unremarkable, but when the soon-to-be actor met Richard Burton, the course of his life would dramatically change. Encouraged and inspired by Burton, Hopkins enrolled at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama when he was only 15 years old.
After graduation in 1957, Anthony Hopkins spent two years in the British Army before moving to London to begin training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. After training and working for several years, he became a kind of protégé of the legendary actor Sir Laurence Olivier. In 1965 Olivier invited Hopkins to join the Royal National Theatre and become his understudy. The famed actor wrote in his memoir, "A new young actor in the company of exceptional promise named Anthony Hopkins was understudying me and walked away with the part of Edgar like a cat with a mouse between its teeth." When Olivier came down with appendicitis during a production called Dance of Death, the young Hopkins stepped in, making waves with his performance.
Billed as Olivier's heir to the British acting throne, Hopkins had the momentum to make the leap from stage to film, which was his primary ambition. He started on the small-screen in 1967 with a BBC production of A Flea in Her Ear. Soon after he was cast in The Lion in Winter (1968) as Richard I, sharing the screen with established stars Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn.
Throughout the 1970s, Hopkins continued to work in film and on stage, garnering critical attention for this double duty. He starred in a Broadway production of Peter Shaffer's Equus (1974) even as he devoted more and more attention to developing his talents for television and film. His method of preparation for roles has always been a source of fascination to critics and young actors alike. Hopkins prefers to memorize his lines in extremis, sometimes repeating them more than 200 times.
The finished product typically reveals a naturalness that skillfully hides the massive amount of rehearsal the actor has done. Because of this style, Hopkins prefers fewer, more spontaneous takes, and has occasionally butted heads with directors who he perceives as deviating from the script too much or demanding too many takes. He has noted in the past that once he says a line and is done with a take, he forgets that line forever.
Despite a promising career, the actor long battled alcoholism, once saying, "I led a pretty self-destructive life for a few decades. It was only after I put my demons behind me that I was able to fully enjoy acting." In 1975 Hopkins began attending Alcoholics Anonymous and working to put those demons behind him.
