Epic Systems Corporation, et al. v. Jacob Lewis, et al.
In Epic Systems Corporation v. Jacob Lewis, together with Ernst & Young LLP v. Morris and National Labor Relations Board v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc., the Supreme Court considered whether employers can require their employees to forgo class and collective proceedings and instead resolve employment-related disputes through individual arbitration.
In each of the consolidated cases before the Court, the respective employers required their employees and job applicants to sign, as conditions of employment, binding arbitration agreements waiving their right to participate in any joint, class, or collective action against their employer relating to employment issues. Thus, when the plaintiffs in these cases tried to vindicate their rights under federal law by jointly filing class and collective actions in court, their employers moved to dismiss their actions and compel individual arbitration of their claims. The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Ninth and Seventh Circuits ruled for the employees, while the Fifth Circuit ruled for the employer. The losing parties in all three cases asked the Supreme Court to hear their cases, and the Supreme Court agreed to hear all of the cases.
CAC filed a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Court to reject the employers' argument that they may require employees to participate in individual arbitration. More specifically, our brief responded to the employers' claim that the guarantee in the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) that employees may engage in "concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection" does not encompass class actions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 or collective actions under the Fair Labor Standards Act because neither existed at the time the NLRA was enacted. In our brief, we explained that group litigation has a rich history that long predates the enactment of the NLRA, and was codified in the United States by the mid-nineteenth century. Our brief also explained that both the Rule 23 class action and the FLSA collective action evolved out of that rich history. Thus, we argued, Rule 23 class actions and FLSA collective actions fall within the NLRA's broad guarantee no less than the equitable forms of group litigation that existed at the time of its adoption.
The Court ruled, 5-4, that companies can force their employees to use individual arbitration to resolve employment-related disputes. In dissent, Justice Ginsburg called the Court's decision "egregiously wrong," and, citing CAC's brief, explained that the majority "painted an ahistorical picture" by ignoring the "rich history" of group litigation as a method of vindicating employees' legal rights.


Thank you so much for remembering September 11. I live about 90 miles from New York City and in the flight path of the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. I remember the day clearly. We can't forget those who were lost and their families. We can't forget the heroes who sacrificed their lives and the heroes who were put in harms way, who are still with us, but remember, every day, that horrific event. And we can't forget how strong our nation is and how fortunate we are to have the freedoms that we have.

I fully experienced what Radical Forgiveness feels like in the healing circle. The visceral act of crossing the circle created a profound energetic shift for me that literally dried up my tears of sadness and hurt. I experienced healing from the perspective of both the perpetrator and victim, as I participated with others who shared many of my issues. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone experiencing pain that holds you back from living your life fully. ~ Carlene Brown, MA. Ed.
The Radical Forgiveness workshop was incredibly healing. It was intense, and so much lightness emerged. I am grateful to Patricia and all the participants. ~ Carolyn K.
Patricia has a gift- both from a common sense and spiritual perspective. After months of shrinks and other "healers" I was still reeling from a shocking break-up equivalent to being left at the altar with no explanation or further communication. In session with Patricia, the epiphanies and the realization of absurdities kept on coming. I don't know what I would have done without her and continue to seek her advice in other areas of my life. ~ Karen P.

I need a module that allows a folder within the DNN directory structure and it's contents, whether they're sub-folders or files, to be targeted and and have it's contents listed and downloadable by a logged in customer.
One of our support techs needs to get a sizable file/folder across to one of our customers instantly; he connects to our web server via FTPS, create a directory within the Support Files folder for the customer and uploads the file. The module in question lives on a secure DNN web page, let's call it /customers/support/files. The support tech gives the customer this link after he's uploaded the file, the customer goes to the URL, browsers for the file in the module and downloads it.
Does a module capable of doing this exist?
you might need to enable the file synch scheduler job as well.
Thanks Sebastian, that might do the trick.

Nescafé — крупнейшая в мире торговая марка растворимого кофе компании Nestlé, впервые представленная 1 апреля 1938 года. Название «Nescafé» является комбинацией двух слов: «Nestlé» и «café».

История
В 1930-х годах Бразилия обратилась к «Nestlé» с просьбой найти способ сохранения и промышленной переработки кофейных зёрен. В течение многих лет Бразилия сталкивалась с проблемой перепроизводства зелёного кофе. Ежегодно огромные запасы кофе пропадали из-за отсутствия технологии переработки и хранения зёрен после сушки и первичной обработки. Макс Моргенталер руководил проектом разработки. Он и его коллеги по заказу в течение семи лет искали способ создать «кофейный кубик», который бы сохранял все свойства кофейных зёрен и мог выдерживать длительное хранение, а затем превращался бы в напиток путём добавления воды. Производство было начато на фабрике в швейцарском городке Орб, в 50 км от штаб-квартиры «Nestlé» в городе Веве. 1 апреля 1938 года компания Nestlé представила новый продукт под торговой маркой Nescafé. Продукт представляет собой растворимый порошкообразный кофе, который стал основным продуктом питания американцев во время Второй мировой войны . Вся продукция завода в США, которая составляла около 1 миллиона упаковок в год, шла исключительно на снабжение армии.

В 1965 году Nestlé представила в Европе марку сублимированного кофе под названием Nescafé Gold.

В 1966 году Nestlé разработала марку сублимированного кофе под названием Taster's Choice.

Маркетинг
Nestlé использовала название Nescafé для своей продукции до конца 1960-х годов. Позже Nestlé представила новый бренд в Канаде и США под названием Taster's Choice, который на протяжении многих лет вытеснял Nescafé. Компания продолжает продавать Taster's Choice как отдельный продукт.

В Великобритании телевизионная рекламная компания The Gold Blend couple с актерами Энтони Хедом и Шэрон Моэн в главных ролях шла в 12 частях в период с 1987 по 1993 год. Первые 11 эпизодов были выпущены в качестве рекламного сборника под названием Love Over Gold в 1993 году. В том же году вышла одноименная новелла, написанная Сьюзен Муди. Легендарный боксер Крис Юбенк и звезда футбола Иан Райт также снимались в телевизионной рекламе бренда в конце 1990-х и 2000-х годах.

В 2003 году компания вновь представила бренд Nescafé в Канаде и США, и теперь этот продукт известен как Nescafé Taster's Choice. Он продается в североамериканских супермаркетах как в стеклянной, так и в пластиковой упаковке.

В то время как бренд Nescafé был создан для растворимого кофе, он впоследствии был использован в качестве зонтичного бренда на ряде продуктов растворимого кофе, включая в Великобритании Gold Blend и Blend 37 сублимированных сортов кофе.

В 2006 году компания Nescafé запустила новую систему кофемашин Dolce Gusto. Система позволяет потребителям самостоятельно готовить различные сорта кофе (капучино, латте макиато, эспрессо, лунго). Кроме того, с помощью машины можно приготовить горячий шоколад и холодные напитки. В настоящее время эти машины продаются более чем в 60 странах. В отличие от других продуктов Nescafé, большинство напитков Dolce Gusto используют жареные и молотые кофейные зерна вместо растворимого кофе.

В Великобритании в августе 2009 года Nescafé представила рекламную кампанию стоимостью 43 миллиона фунтов стерлингов для Nescafé.

Nescafé занял 153-е место среди самых надежных брендов Индии в соответствии с отчетом Brand Trust Report 2012, исследованием, проведенным компанией Trust Research Advisory. В отчете Brand Trust Report 2013 Nescafé заняла 230-е место среди самых надежных брендов Индии, а впоследствии, согласно отчету Brand Trust Report 2014, Nescafé занял 209-е место среди самых надежных брендов Индии. В Австралии и Новой Зеландии оригинальный растворимый кофе называется Blend 43, первоначально для того, чтобы отличить продукт местного производства от импортной версии.

В Пакистане Nescafe запустила ежегодное музыкальное шоу, основанное на той же теме, что и Coke Studio, под названием Nescafe Basement.

Судебные процессы
В феврале 2005 года агентство Ассошиэйтед Пресс сообщило, что Nestlé проиграла судебный процесс и была обязана выплатить Расселу Кристоффу 15,6 миллиона долларов США за использование его изображения без его разрешения на этикетке Taster's Choice в течение пяти лет (1998―2003). Решение о выплате 15,6 миллиона долларов было впоследствии полностью отменено Апелляционным судом Калифорнии. 31 октября 2007 года Верховный суд Калифорнии голосованием 6-0 удовлетворил апелляцию. 17 августа 2009 года суд отменил это решение (заключение S155242) и вернул дело в суд первой инстанции для рассмотрения вопроса о том, охватывала ли рекламная кампания одну публикацию или несколько, что помешало бы Кристоффу подать иск, поскольку срок давности истек.

В массовой культуре
 В Эквадоре Boeing 737-200 компании AeroGal был окрашен в красный цвет для продвижения бренда.
 В Чили с 2009 года бренд спонсировал и помогал восстанавливать известный чилийский театр, который находился в упадке. Сейчас он называется Театр искусств Nescafé. В предыдущие годы бренд спонсировал различные шоу, такие как Esta Noche Fiesta и Tuesday 13, конкурс 123 Nescafé, а также некоторое время был спонсором различных кампаний чилийского телемарафона, вернувшись в качестве спонсора кампании в 2011 году.
 Британская группа Muse подала в суд на Nescafé в 2003 году, когда их песня «Hyper Music / Feeling Good» была использована в телевизионной рекламе без разрешения, и пожертвовала эту компенсацию в размере 500 000 фунтов стерлингов благотворительной организации Оксфам.

Solanum pimpinellifolium, commonly known as the currant tomato or pimp, is a wild species of tomato native to Ecuador and Peru but naturalized elsewhere, such as the Galápagos Islands. Its small fruits are edible, and it is commonly grown in gardens as an heirloom tomato, although it is considered to be wild
rather than domesticated as is the commonly cultivated tomato species Solanum lycopersicum. Its genome was sequenced in 2012.

Breeding purposes
It will hybridize with common domestic tomatoes. There are annual, biennial, and perennial varieties.  Solanum pimpinellifolium is important in tomato breeding.

Its relatedness to tomatoes and ability to freely cross with them has allowed it to be used for the introduction of disease resistance traits in tomato varieties, as well as in the study of the genetic control of tomato traits such as fruit shape and size.  It has higher amounts of lycopene, vitamin C, and phenolic acids, as well as a higher antioxidant capacity than Solanum lycopersicum.  Its 900 Mb genome differs from the tomato at 0.6% of base pairs; in comparison, they both differ from the potato (from which they diverged 7.3 million years ago) at 8% of bases.

Considered the ancestor of domesticated tomatoes, it is valued for supplementing the limited gene pool of the domestic tomato.  Due to agricultural development, the wild currant tomato is becoming less prevalent in the native range of northern Peru and southern Ecuador.  In addition, seed collection is hampered by issues with the Convention on Biological Diversity.

In severe cases, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events which can then store itself in the subconscious. People with PTSD can re-experience the trauma through disturbing flashbacks or what is referred to as triggers. As a result one can start exhibiting symptoms such as constant avoidance, inability to return to work and hyperarousal resulting in an array of medical conditions.
Events that can cause PTSD are sexual assault or abuse, home invasions, natural disasters, warfare, severe and serious injury, auto accidents, homicide, suicide, or threats of imminent death resulting from certain lines of duty that can result in feelings of intense fear, horror and powerlessness.
Anyone can suffer from PTSD, and it is prevalent in first responders, military personnel and everyday people who are, or have been, subject to situations of discomfort, be it past or present. We coach around the recovery and daily living with extreme anxiety and related conditions of PTSD. Although not all anxiety related disorders are curable, we believe they are manageable with the right tools and effort put forward from our clients that want to start the path of healing and forging a better life.


One of the most important choices you will make for any new or current pets you may have may be the animal hospital or animal clinic you'll use for their sick care, any emergency visits, and well care. Getting the proper match for you personally as well as your pet is truly essential along with the recommendations and ideas below are all issues you can use when doing your search.
As soon as you've narrowed down the choices of animal clinics or hospitals to verify out, you'll be able to start the procedure of seeing which 1 will match your requires the most effective. Factors like place, doctor's costs, and solutions supplied are all crucial items to look at when deciding.
• A very good wellness program: preventative care is just as significant as fantastic emergency and sick care. A good deal of illnesses and complications is often avoided with all the ideal preventative care. Immunizations, heartworm preventative, flea manage, and lots of other issues can make certain your pet is going to be healthier and delighted for a extended time.
• Dental system: Dental care for pets is likely one particular on the most overlooked types of care. But just like humans, pet's teeth needs to be cared for too. It really is been shown that with normal dental cleaning the life expectancy of the pet can increase by 3-5 years! Surely a cause to remember to have this care accomplished.
• Emergency care: You under no circumstances know if you will have to have the solutions of the pet's medical professional, and it won't constantly be in the course of office hours. Getting an animal hospital that has an excellent emergency care program in spot is so essential. At times minutes may be critical in the health of your pet. Ensure that your clinic has this aspect of pet care below control at the same time.
• Veterinary Merchandise: Your animal hospital is an excellent location to get solutions for the pet. Most clinics sell pet foods, flea handle solutions, heartworm preventatives, collars, leashes, toys and much more. Some locations may have a bigger line of products than other folks.
Going to see the potential animal hospitals that you are thinking about is actually a extremely very good idea. You may see the cleanliness from the location as well as interact with the employees and physicians. Don't just show up at the workplace to tour it, you'll want to call very first and ask if you will find particular times that they allow tours. Bring your pet if feasible, mainly because seeing how your pet acts in their facility and with the staff is essential.
Animals have a natural ability to study people today, and if your animal is really fearful and uncomfortable, that could be anything to think about. Seeing if it acts the same way at a further workplace will provide you with a whole lot of insight into no matter if it really is just a fearful pet or something precise to that office.

Animals from the Campaign
Djurdjica Vorkapic in the campaign "For Croatia without Fur" organized by Animal Friends
- Famous Croatian fashion designer invites everyone to create innovative fashion without animal fur
Following the Croatian model Petra Friganovic, who has joined the project "Fur Free Retailers," fashion designer Djurdjica Vorkapic has called for the removal of all fur from the fashion industry. Her work is known not only for its inventiveness and creativity, but also for its clear vision of fashion, in which there is no place for clothing made of animal fur or leather.
In this year's campaign by Animal Friends - "For Croatia without Fur" - Djurdjica Vorkapic from Hippy Garden appears on billboards that will be placed in a number of Croatian cities, appealing to her colleagues in the fashion industry: "Fashion can live without fur, animals can't." Beside her, faces featured on the billboards include rabbits and a chinchilla. The chinchilla was abandoned two years ago, while the rabbits lived in miserable conditions and are now looking for a comfortable home and responsible guardians. Djurdjica is a vegetarian and guardian of a dog called Barika.
Every year more than 75 million dogs, cats, chinchillas, seals, foxes, rabbits, and other animals are killed for the production of fur coats and accessories for the fashion industry. These deaths are utterly unnecessary and the agony of these animals is immense. Born on fur farms, they suffer a life of captivity in small, dirty cages until they are killed by means of electroshock, neck breaking, or gassing, while those hunted in the wild may die for days caught in traps. Beside being obtained at the cost of agonizing deaths, fur is not ecological, since natural resources such as drinking water are mercilessly squandered in its production and dangerous chemicals are released into nature.
Djurdjica Vorkapic explains her engagement for the animals used and killed for fur with the following words: "The world of fashion is a world of creation. Our modern world implies various forms of progress and likes to boast with innovation, but it can hardly be called progressive and even less innovative to use someone's fur in today's civilized society in order to produce a design object. To create means to make things out of one's deepest inner being, to extract something beautiful from oneself and to give it a form. Today's industry offers a huge number of technical possibilities to produce fabric, including beautiful faux fur, and it is indeed backward and primitive to take someone's life for one's personal pleasure."
There are a number of stores in Croatia and throughout the world that refuse to use animal fur, and their list can be found on the website of Animal Friends and at www.furfreeretailer.com. The project "Fur Free Retailers," which has so far been joined by fashion brands such as Hippy Garden, Boudoir, Esprit, Image Haddad, H&M, and many others, is part of the campaign "For Croatia without Fur" in collaboration with Fur Free Alliance.
Animal Friends and Hippy Garden invite all Croatian fashion brands to join the project "Fur Free Retailers" and to reject animal fur forever. Djurdjica Vorkapic sends the following message to her fellow designers: "Create with your heart. Do not reach for something that does not belong to you; do not claim the right to do something that you wouldn't like to be done to you. Instead, raise the awareness, as that is the only way for the human mind to triumph.
As of January 1, 2007, the Croatian Animal Protection Act has prohibited fur farms with a transition period of ten years, and the next goal of our campaign "For Croatia without Fur" is to ban the sale of clothing and footwear made of animal fur.
Photographs and billboards "Fashion Can Live without Fur, Animals Can't" are the work of photographer Mare Milin, photo-editor Marija Matijasec, designer Maja Zaklan from Zale Design Studio, makeup artist Nives Spajic, and hair stylist Marina Milic. The animals featured in the campaign live at the shelter of animal association Mrkvica."
The project has been launched in collaboration with Fur Free Alliance and sponsored by the Zagreb City Office for Agriculture and Forestry, Zale, Avalon hosting, Vektor Grupa, Europlakat, and Arto.

2016 Juneteenth Parade and Festival
Dancers, politicians, BBQ, at one of nation's oldest celebrations of the end of slavery.

Get a daily rundown of the top stories on Urban Milwaukee
2016 Juneteenth Parade
Father's Day, Juneteenth Day and bright sunny weather intersected for a well-attended parade and festival along N. Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. in Milwaukee yesterday. The annual parade and festival, which marks the day the last slaves were freed in the United States in 1865, is one of the longest running Juneteenth celebrations in the nation.
The 45th annual celebration featured a parade south down N. Dr. Martin Luther King Dr. that ended at a street festival between W. Burleigh St. and W. Center St. Groups in the parade offered a number of messages from a simple celebration of the day's historical significance to pleas to stop gun violence. In between, an impressive array of dance groups and politicians delighted on-lookers, the dancers with their moves, the pols with free candy.
Once the parade ended it was on to the food, with the street festival lined with numerous vendors selling corn on the cob, smoked turkey legs, and most importantly, delicious barbecue.
Our photos capture the action.

LifeWhat's Hot
Chocolate may be good for your heart, new study
By AFP June 16th, 2015 2 min read
The study was observational, meaning it could not show cause and effect, merely an association which may be circumstantial. FILE PHOTO | NAIROBI NEWS
New research has added to tentative evidence that eating chocolate in modest quantities may be good for the heart, scientists said on Tuesday.
Scientists in Britain looked at data from nearly 21,000 people who filled out questionnaires about their lifestyle, and had their health monitored for more than 11 years.
Exciting times ahead for lovers of coffee, tea and chocolate in Nairobi
10 local foods that will increase your sperm count
Their average daily consumption was seven grams (0.25 ounces) of chocolate, ranging from none to 100g.
The top fifth of chocolate-eaters were 12 percent less likely to develop heart disease and 23 percent less likely to suffer a stroke compared to the bottom fifth of consumers, the researchers found.
The study, published in the British journal Heart, noted that most consumers of the confectionary ate milk chocolate, not dark chocolate which famously has a higher percentage of protective molecules called flavonoids.
"This may indicate that not only flavonoids, but also other compounds, possibly related to milk constituents, such as calcium and fatty acids, may provide an explanation for the observed association," it said.
The team, headed by Phyo Myint of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, admitted the probe had limitations.
The study was observational, meaning it could not show cause and effect, merely an association which may be circumstantial.
Another question mark was to be found in "reverse causation": participants who knew they had cardiovascular problems may have followed a healthier diet and eaten less chocolate.
The team also did a review of other published studies, covering more than 130,000 people in total, and said they had found a similarly beneficial association with regular chocolate consumption.
"Cumulative evidence suggests that higher chocolate intake is associated with a lower risk of future cardiovascular events," it said.
"There does not appear to be any evidence to say that chocolate should be avoided in those who are concerned about cardiovascular risk."
A couple of squares of chocolate are around 16g, and an average bar of chocolate about 50g.
Commentators not involved in the research were cautious, noting too much chocolate can lead to weight gain, which is bad for the heart.
"You can't draw a medical conclusion from this study," said Arnaud Cocaul, a nutritionist at the Pitie Salpetriere Hospital in Paris.
"People who refrain from eating chocolate are not necessarily those who eat the most balanced diet."
Added Tim Chico, a cardiologist at the University of Sheffield in northern England: "I would not advise my patients to increase their chocolate intake based on this research, particularly if they are overweight," in remarks to Britain's Science Media Centre (SMC).

We all seek perfection in almost every domain of our life. Thinking perhaps, we are like the Japanese Ikebana plant of nature, owning the perfect position, colour and harmony. But that is nature and as Turgeneve advised, only nature is perfect. What about us humans? For we work to hold but a thread of that nature's perfection and yet always pray to no avail. Shall we go on fighting to achieve that perfect life we dream of? Or shall we analyze everything that comes our way, which in its part will assist us in achieving an experience? After all every lavishing experiences we gain are a treasure and a weapon that will assist us in foreseeing our future. Although, the question remains unasked is: what is experience?
Experience huddle around one simple, yet, rich and laudable word: knowledge. You will equally agree with me in stating what a mere truth is that knowledge is valuable. This therefore, takes us back to Plato's Meno in addressing: "what is it about knowledge (if anything) that makes it more valuable than mere true belief?" However, others believe it is not that knowledge is highly important but our understanding of it. Consequently, one shall rephrase the definition to state: Experience is one's understanding of knowledge.
Somerset Maugham taught us in Theatre that it is in acting and in theatre to be precise one is able to receive more training in experiencing with different characters than anywhere else. A theatre gathers and joins respectfully and exemplary variety of types of humans. Few have paid to appreciate the production put forth, others enter to gain knowledge and the majority approaches the theatre for pleasure. Many on the other hand, go for the sake to announce they have entered a theatre thinking they belong to an elite class.
Hence, theatre is a definition of life. "All the world's a stage" Shakespeare shared in the Scottish play. "The stage is make-believe" Maugham would add. We all require playing different parts and characters in our life. Whether we are conscious of it or not, in duration of a day we all act unlimited characters that may very well be noble or rugged but anything that would suit our moment's need would be attained. This is not a fault or a wrong act to engage in, since our motto in life is to go forward, just like a sparkling tide of river, dealing with the flow ahead.
Within each character we master, we graduate from an imperative educational level. For this will trot and transfer our experience to a particular silent power, that will shine when needed in whatsoever errands facing us, to place all in their position. It will also enable us to change roles and be that master and star once again. That is the accomplishment in its fullest: the ability to smoothly shift roles without anyone's notice, for experience Oscar Wilde shared "is a question of instinct about life".
Experience, is to grasp from life with an eagle's eye, the marrow of existence. As Maugham in A Summing Up informed how we have one life, we "should like to get the most we could out of it" and then "death would in the end round off in complete fulfillment". But, that does not mean to always look ahead for the future and forget the present. Seeing that Max Beerbohm believed: "A very young man is not content to be very young, nor even a young man to be young: he wants to share the dignity of his eldest".
We need to live each day to the fullest for this day will not be repeated again nor would we be given a second chance to go back and change it. If you are young, then be advised to own your youth and act to the best of your ability, limit and joy. For that future you swim for, will soon be your past. That "passing moment (Maugham communicated) is all we can be sure of…the future will one day be the present and will seem as unimportant as the present does now".
What about the past, you may wonder. Confucius believed one must "study the past in order to divine the future". Study, that's all. We should not assemble around it for long, for if we do, it will convey to mean, we have no future.
Therefore, set free our soul to experience each day's theatre to gain that day's experience. It requires energy and time to devote to an idea or a theory. But most importantly it necessitates patience and dedication to the subject. Devotion is loyalty camouflaged in patience. Persistence of rehearse performances. For one can measure a person's life with the amount of experience they treasure.
I would like to leave us all with Oscar Wilde's thought on experience in Lady Windermere's Fan "Experience (he began) is the name everyone gives to their mistakes". Do you agree? For I do not see myself complying completely to endorse this particular reflection!
Our dearest passionate "educater", every article generates in us ( I am positive I am speaking on behalf of all your devoted readers!) so many questions, questions that take us through a journey of our feelings, beliefs, and at the end of it we feel chaneged, feeling more romantic, sensitive but in parallel we examine the details and suddenly all the clouds disappear and we see our destination clearly!
As for experience, I do agree with Oscar Wilde's comment, but that's only a part of where we get our experience from, as experience is in every breath we take, every second of our life is an amazing learning point! The only difference is that few pay attention to all the gifts of life, either because they are too busy running after the future or dwell in the past! I have proudly past both phases and choose to live in the present steering ahead with an open eye to the future!

Ceremonial Hearing of the Royal Commission
Kevin Humphries
I attended the Ceremonial Hearing of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide today. Thankfully it was everything I hoped it would be.
The three Commissioners each spoke of their professional and personal backgrounds and what they bring to the Inquiry. In particular, they emphasised their themes of compassion and accountability, the need and credibility of lived experience testimonies, and that it's not just about warzones, but domestic workplaces and government agencies as well.
Mr Nick Kaldos APM (Chair of the Commission) spoke of the Commission's requirement to 'examine, understand and expose all systemic issues and risk factors as well as his operational background as a Police investigator and service in Syria and Iraq.
Hon James Douglas QC spoke of his extensive legal background, his intention to analyse the actions and inactions of both individuals and agencies, as well as his family service history across multiple conflicts and eras, and the impact of that service on his family.
Dr Peggy Brown AO, an eminent psychiatrist, emphasised that it's not just mental illness that leads to suicide. Suicide is an incredibly complex issue that this Commission seeks to understand the true root causes rather than intermediary issues and symptoms.
There are multiple different methods to provide a submission; verbal, written, online etc. Submissions can be anonymous or identified and requests for hearings can be public or private – entirely at the discretion of the person making the submission. Additionally, free independent legal advice is available for anyone providing a submission.

Living with diabetes does not necessarily mean deprivation. Are you always asking yourself, "What is safe to eat?" With a guideline on healthy meals and what to avoid, you can relax and dig into a wide variety of delicious meals and snacks. Typically, a diabetic diet should be low in saturated and trans fats, added sugars, cholesterol and sodium. While in Orlando, search the web for "internal medicine doctor near me" and click on Premier Medical Associates. We want to help you be healthy and happy. Until you see us in person, check out this list of safe foods as well as those to avoid.
Carbohydrates affect blood sugar the most. Therefore, people with diabetes should be cautious when choosing carbs. The best carbs for blood sugar control are complex carbohydrates with low-glycemic content such as beans, peas, lentils, whole grains, and non-starchy vegetables.
Fish are an excellent alternative to fatty meats. Salmon and tuna are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids that help lower triglycerides. Diabetics should avoid fried fish and instead opt for baked, steamed, or grilled fish.
Poly- and monounsaturated fats from plant foods help lower cholesterol levels. They help reduce the risk of having a stroke and heart diseases. Some of these healthy fats are avocado, walnuts, almonds, pecans and olive oil. Keep the portion sizes small as these foods are high in calories.
The drink that accompanies a meal has a significant influence on blood sugar control and weight. Water is healthy for everyone, diabetic or not. Other acceptable beverages include unsweetened teas and coffee and other low-calorie drinks. Alcohol can be consumed in moderation. However, it is wise to consult an internal medicine doctor near me to know which alcoholic beverages are allowed in the diet.
Citrus fruits like Oranges, lemons, and limes are excellent sources of vitamin C, folate, potassium and fiber – a nutrient that helps regulate blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
These are the worst beverages for a person with diabetes. They are high in carbs and are loaded with fructose, which is strongly linked to insulin resistance as well as promoting belly fat.
Industrial trans fats are extremely unhealthy. They are found in margarine, peanut butter, spreads and frozen dinners. Although they don't directly raise sugar levels, they've been linked to insulin resistance, belly fat and inflammation.
Processed foods tend to spike blood sugar levels. They are typically made with refined flour, which contains little to no nutrients and plenty of unwanted cards.
Plain yogurt is a great option for diabetics. However, once it is flavored, it becomes a different story. This is because they are made from low to non-fat milk loaded with carbs and sugar.
Knowing which foods to include in a diabetic diet can sometimes seem tough. Keep in mind, following a few guidelines should make your life easier. Avoiding foods that increase your blood sugar is a great place to start. Contact us for more info!

Swine Flu Offers 'Extraordinary Super Immunity'
/Dorian Nuñez
Makes you wish you had gotten the swine flu and survived! Check out this article on how the swine flu virus is offering super immunity to other influenza viruses
By Michelle Roberts Health reporter, BBC News
People who recover from swine flu may be left with an extraordinary natural ability to fight off flu viruses, findings suggests.
In beating a bout of H1N1 the body makes antibodies that can kill many other flu strains, a study in the Journal of Experimental Medicine shows.
Doctors hope to harness this power to make a universal flu vaccine that would protect against any type of influenza.
Ultimately this could replace the "best guess" flu vaccines currently used.
Such a vaccine is the "holy grail" for flu researchers. Many scientists are already testing different prototypes to put an end to the yearly race to predict coming flu strains and quickly mass produce a new vaccine each flu season.
Dr Patrick Wilson who led the latest research said the H1N1 swine flu virus that reached pandemic levels infecting an estimated 60 million people last year, had provided a unique opportunity for researchers.
"It demonstrates how to make a single vaccine that could potentially provide immunity to all influenza.
"The surprise was that such a very different influenza strain, as opposed to the most common strains, could lead us to something so widely applicable."
Extraordinary immunity
In the nine patients they studied who had caught swine flu during the pandemic, they found the infection had triggered the production of a wide range of antibodies that are only very rarely seen after seasonal flu infections or flu vaccination.
Five antibodies isolated by the team could fight all the seasonal H1N1 flu strains from the last decade, the devastating "Spanish flu" strain from 1918 which killed up to 50m people, plus a potentially deadly bird flu H5N1 strain.
The researchers believe the "extraordinarily" powerful antibodies were created as the body learned how to fight the new infection with swine flu using its old memory of how to fight off other flu viruses.
Next they plan to examine the immune response of people who were vaccinated against last year's swine flu but did not get sick to see if they too have the same super immunity to flu.
Dr Sarah Gilbert is a expert in viruses at Oxford University and has been testing her own prototype universal flu vaccine.
She said: "Many scientists are working to develop a vaccine that would protect against the many strains of flu virus.
"This work gives us more confidence that it will be possible to generate a universal flu vaccine."
But she said it would take many years for a product to go through the necessary tests and trials.
"It will take at least five years before anything like this could be widely available."
The number of deaths this winter from flu verified by the Health Protection Agency currently is 50, with 45 of these due to swine flu.

Wow...I completely believe this. I had swine flu two years ago and it knocked me on my butt....two weeks of laying in bed dead tired and exhausted. Since then, whenever I get a cold or flu....IT IS GONE WITHIN 24 HOURS - no kidding. Prior to my swine flu bout, this has never happened to me. I still can't believe it. Funny that all the other articles online in regards to this subject, the comments have been closed.

Q: Prisma how to create a model when database table has hyphen in it? i have tables in my database with hyphen, like "user-cars". I cannot change the name to "user_cars". Is there a way to name the model as "user_cars" but make it reference the "user-cars" table? I tried @@map("user_cars"), but it didn't work.

A: According to the docs, you'd map the model to the underlying table name. You tried user_cars but did you try user-cars? If your table name is user-cars then you should map that to your model like:

model UserCar {
  // Fields

  @@map("user-cars")
}

https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-schema/names-in-underlying-database
Their example is:

However, you can still choose Comment as the name of the model (e.g.
to follow the naming convention) without renaming the underlying
comments table in the database by using the @@map attribute:

model Comment {
  // Fields

  @@map("comments")
}

The model names typically follow the convention where the underlying table is plural, and the model name itself is singular. Ideally you should use UserCar as the model name instead of user_cars.
https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/prisma-schema-reference#naming-conventions
I hope that helps!

This delicious Baumkuchen with a full-milk taste uses the finest Belgian chocolate. This delicacy is traditionally baked by hand and optionally cut into one to four rings.
Shrouded in soft whole milk chocolate, each tree cake with whole milk offers a unique, handmade, sweet taste experience.
Our Baumkuchen have a pleasant weight and therefore can not be baked as quickly as other Baumkuchen. The longer baking time refines our Milk Chocolate Baumkuchen and lets the 13 to 16 layers mature well after a recipe that is over 190 years old.
It creates unique pieces that always stand out a little in weight and appearance.
Exactly this exquisite chocolate is produced by the Belgian chocolate manufacturer Callebaut. The composition with the noble chocolate from Belgium seduces with its sweet and slightly milky taste and encases our delicious hand-made Baumkuchen.
After coating with milk chocolate, our Baumkuchen is ready to ship. We send our Baumkuchen either in a gift box and from three rings in a noble wooden box.

Home › Reviews › Accommodation Reviews › Ministry of Coffee, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
My stay in Yogyakarta didn't get off to a great start.
I arrived in Yogya in the dead of night, not an ideal time to arrive anywhere really, and I was tired and stiff from an uncomfortable train ride from Surabaya that lasted an eternity and was the sole cause of me arriving in the dark instead of a more reasonable early afternoon. I needed somewhere to crash, and quickly.
I found a place easily enough by heading straight down to Jalan Prawirotaman where there are a string of cheap backpacker hostels and guesthouses. After viewing a few, I chose what was the best of some pretty poor choices and got my head down. The place was fine, my sleep was fine, but the next morning when I woke up I just needed a better rest in a little bit of comfort. The previous weeks hiking and trekking had started to catch up on me. So I got a private room in another guesthouse for a few days in a room that was fine, but very dated and a little overpriced for what it was.
That is when I found the Ministry of Coffee.
I had walked past it at first not realising it was an actual guesthouse, but on second viewing it revealed itself like a sweet oasis amongst a desert of mediocrity. Hidden behind what is an average coffee shop is one of the best places to stay in the city.
The Ministry of coffee is not the cheapest place to stay in this part of Yogyakarta, but it isn't the most expensive either and is by far the best value for money. For around the same price as the average price of other private rooms on the same street the jump in quality is outstanding. Seriously outstanding.
I stayed in one of the cheaper basic rooms downstairs, and I felt very secluded tucked away behind the coffee shop. The peace and quiet was an absolute tonic – if you discount the 4 AM call to prayer that will affect you in most places across Yogyakarta – and I even enjoyed the tiny little patio area with a nice water feature to sit and have a relaxing drink and catch up with some writing.
The en suite room was small, but was not cramped and had more than enough room for my ambling 6"2 frame and my pack. They were both absolutely spotless too, with the cleaning staff doing an amazing and unobtrusive job, and it was full to the brim with mod cons like strong air con, inclusive breakfast in the coffee shop, a comfy double bed and oversized pillows. They may seem like standard fare in most hotels around the world, but for backpackers who only occasionally make the jump to flashpacker status they will feel like heaven!
It was the unexpected touches that really made this guesthouse stand out though. All the rooms being named after types of coffee, free complimentary coffee from the attached coffee shop, access to a free library and free DVD rental to watch on your own in room DVD player. Add to that the amazingly friendly and helpful staff and it all adds up to an amazing mid range place to stay for a while.
The staff were all friendly and efficient, and always willing to offer advice on where to go and what to do. They could sometimes be a little invisible if they all disappeared into the back room at the same time but this was hardly a big deal and is more down to the fact that I am literally searching for bad points to balance the review out!
They could improve things by introducing 24 hour staff instead of only having a security guard man the front desk until 8.00 AM. Most tours start much earlier than that, and if you want to head out early to get a full day of trekking or sightseeing in then you are left with a relatively disappointing pre packaged breakfast and microwaved coffee. If they just opened up a little earlier, it would be ideal.
These criticisms really are clutching at petty straws though.
If you are in Yogyakarta and want to upgrade a little to a mid range budget, then you will really do yourself a favour by staying here.
The Ministry of Coffee can be found at Jalan Prawirotoman 1/15a, Yogyakarta 55153 Indonesia.

Well you just KNEW I would have to click on a post titled, "Ministry of Coffee", didn't you? Definitely sounds like my cup of caffeine! ;P Really respected that you made a sincere effort at trying to balance this review with some negative critique even though you enjoyed this place so much. Good work and sounds like a great place to catch some zzzz's, renew & refresh.
Haha, you would definitely appreciate the coffee themed rooms here, believe me! And you're right, it is a great place to refresh yourself after a long stretch on the road! Thank you for the comment, I do try and remain as impartial as possible, if I love something I will say so, but likewise if I hate something too.
Haha I'm with Erin, I had to check this one out due to the name. Safety is always my main concern so at least they had a security guard. I've been in some places where the hotel was completely open all night with nobody manning the counter or anything and no guard.
What a name for a guest house! Looks like a lovely place to stay! I´ve been in Yogyakarta 2 years ago and I have no idea what the name of guest house we stayed was or how it looked so I guess wasn´t that impressive…I wonder what the name of your room was (if they all were named after types of coffee)..
I think we stayed in Nescafe if memory serves! ;D I know what you mean though, we stayed in a couple of other places along Jalan Prawirotaman which is one of the main backpacker accommodation areas, before here and this place was seriously the best in terms of quality and value by far. Thanks for the comment Elena.
The Ministry of coffee?! What a great name!! And I love that you get free coffee too…that would be enough for me since I have become a coffee addict!! Really sweet looking place and makes me long to pick up my backpack and travel! Great review.
Great find! It's always when you least expect it, isn't it? My time in Ethiopia has convinced me to travel to places that produce the great coffees of the world. Free coffee in Indonesia sounds ideal.
Definitely! Most of the best places I have ever stayed in have always been surprise finds, many not even on the internet or on any review sites. That's why I always advise people to not always plan rigidly and book ahead. And Indonesia and Bali are great for coffee!
I too would be lured in to stay at a place named "The Ministry of Coffee" and like Dave above my travels in Central America have me convinced to explore the world's great coffee regions.
I was intrigued by the name of this place – it sounded both quirky and inviting! And it is so often the case that you find the best places to stay in the most unlikely locations.
Very true! Which is another reason I tend not to book ahead! I loved the quirkiness of this place, and the fact that the rooms are offset right at the back makes you feel secluded and away from it all too.
Sounds lovely! We totally understand about having to find a restful "oasis" during your travels. We tend to stick to dorms because they are cheaper but every once in a while, we'll splurge on a nice private just to catch up on some much needed sleep! We'll definitely be checking this place out if we head out there!
That's pretty much what I do to. I use hostels a lot for the price, but then move up to a guesthouse or private room when the mood takes me, and will even check out unique accomodation options like longhouses, hides in the jungle or monastaries too. I don't think that just because we are backpackers we should have to stick to one type of accommodation experience! ;D Thanks for the comment.
Haha, the name is pretty attention grabbing! And believe me, it is as awesome as it sounds!
This one looks like a great place to stay – comfortable and clean yet not too overdone. and I love the name, too, that will definitely get them attention.
Now that's a very cool looking hotel! Was it expensive?
No not really. It was smack bang inside the mid range zone, but it was only a few pounds more than other private rooms on the same street and the jump in quality was HUGE! The jump to flashpacker status for a little while was well worth it!
Aw this looks like such a cute place! Will definitely have to check it out when I am there next month.
