Michael Jackson Estate Threatens Legal Action Over Tribute Concert
'Michael Forever' concert rescinds invitation for Kiss to perform following complaints from estate and fans.
Gil Kaufman 08/16/2011
Several weeks after announcing their intention to celebrate the life of Michael Jackson with an all-star concert called "Michael Jackson Forever," the initial lineup for the October 8 show at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, was revealed last week.
According to promoters, the Michael Forever show is slated to feature such stars as Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Motown legend Smokey Robinson, in addition to less globally popular talents, including Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott, Leona Lewis, JLS, Craig David, Alien Ant Farm and a pair of Jackson-related groups, 3T and the Jackson Brothers.
The one thing the event does not have, however, is the approval of Jackson's powerful estate, which had kept silent about the show put together by parents Joseph and Katherine Jackson, along with siblings Jackie, Tito, Marlon, LaToya and Rebbie. Brothers Jermaine and Randy have not been involved in the plans and have publicly objected to the event because it falls in the middle of the involuntary manslaughter trial of Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray.
On Tuesday (August 16) a spokesperson for the estate — which has handled all of Jackson's affairs since his 2009 death — confirmed that estate lawyer Howard Weitzman sent a letter to concert organizers last week raising some pointed questions about the show.
"I represent the Executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson. As the legal caretakers of Michael's intellectual property, we believe it is our duty to contact you directly regarding the growing number of questions that have been addressed to the Estate, as well as multiple concerns that have emerged in recent days," reads the letter.
After reminding organizers that the estate is the only entity that can sign off on the use of Jackson's image or his intellectual property — the concert's website is careful not to feature any images of the singer or samples of his music — the letter said the estate was "especially disappointed" by the announcement on Monday that greasepaint rockers Kiss have been added to the bill.
Specifically, the beef was that outspoken Kiss bassist Gene Simmons has made a number of disparaging comments about Jackson in the past. "It was extraordinarily embarrassing when no sooner had you announced this 'news' that [Simmons] would participate in your concert that TMZ posted an item noting that Mr. Simmons called Michael Jackson ... a child molester, notwithstanding the fact that Michael was acquitted by a jury," read the letter.
Jackson fansite MJ4Justice was flooded with negative comments about the addition of Kiss, announced on Monday by Katherine Jackson on CNN, and has called for a boycott of the show. The concert's Facebook page has also been inundated with concerns over the booking of Kiss.
And the complaints worked. On Tuesday, the concert's promoter, Global Live Events, canceled Kiss' "invitation" to appear in the show. "We have listened to Michael's fans and are grateful to have been alerted to these unfortunate statements by Gene Simmons," CEO Chris Hunt said in a statement. "Under the circumstances we fully agree that even though Kiss is a band Michael admired we have no choice but to rescind our invitation to them to appear in our tribute concert. We offer our sincerest apologies to Mrs. Jackson and the family for this oversight — our primary concern must be to do justice to Michael's memory, and to put on a tribute that the family and the fans will find suitable and fit for a King, our King of Pop."
The estate also expressed concerns about the promotion of the concert as a charity event, noting that it is using Jackson's "good name" to promote contributions, when the charitable element of the show is voluntary. "It appears from your interviews and from your website that none of the (approximately $90-$390) per person ticket price is committed to charitable causes," the letter states. The estate asked for clarity on to whom the charitable contributions are going , as well as an explanation of the small type clause that says that refunds will not be offered if "50% or more of the number of contracted artists attend and perform."
A spokesperson for the concert had not returned requests for comment about the donations at press time. Tickets are being distributed in lottery fashion, with fans asked to register for the chance to buy them in order to, "avoid the usual frantic rush and confusion when tickets for big events go on sale," according to the concert's website.
"Michael Jackson always made sure his fans were treated to concert experiences so spectacular that they would remember the evening for the rest of their lives," lawyer Weitzman concluded. "He always treated his fans with the utmost respect. In light of the questions raised above and the confusion surrounding this 'event,' we are extremely concerned about Michael's legacy, his fans and the public-at-large." The letter asks promoter Global Live to address those concerns and those of the singer's fans as soon as possible.

Kaʻū News Briefs Saturday, August 4, 2018
County and volunteer fire departments fought a fire all day today that started last night in the South Point,
Ka Lae area. This photo was taken from the Discovery Harbour home of photographer Peter Anderson.
TWO RANGE FIRES STARTLED Discovery Harbour, Green Sands, and South Point ranch land dwellers last night.
Heavy equipment, along with county and volunteer firefighters, battled the blazes all day and were hoping to bring them under control, despite very windy conditions. A helicopter flew many water drops. Bulldozers made fire breaks. The location of the fires are above Kamilo surfing spot, east of South Point. They burned through brush on private ranches below Discovery Harbour.
The county bulldozed a firebreak from Discovery Harbour
to keep the rangefire from spreading.

Fire trucks attempted to reach the area down Ka`alualu Road. One firebreak extends from the west end of Kahiki Street in Discovery Harbour, above the golf course clubhouse.
A report from the county Fire Department, said there are two fires "in a very large nearly roadless area of mostly 10-to 15-feet high haole koa, Guinea grass, and Christmas berry trees. Strong ENE trade winds fanned the fire." Cause of both fires remains unknown.
A helicopter picks up water to fight the fire
between South Point and Discovery Harbour.
The fires are burning in difficult terrain with pahoehoe lava and a heavy understory of dried grasses and a heavy overstory of haole koa and Christmas berry.
"One D-9 dozer worked through the night and a second D8 joined at first light," says the report. They created a perimeter around the most southern fire and worked on encircling the north fires.
Helicopter water drops started this morning. By 7 p.m., the fires were "80 percent contained, but strong and gusty winds were hindering extinguishment and control," reported the fire department.
Crews planned to remain overnight to extinguish hot spots and any fire break jumps. Dozer ops also continue, with heli water drops resuming at first light on Sunday.
The report estimated 35 acres burned by the north fire and 110 acres burned by the south fire. See more in tomorrow's Ka`ū News Briefs.

THE FIRST NEW ROUTE ALONG HWY 11 TO TAKE MOTORISTS AWAY FROM KĪLAUEA CALDERA has been selected, according to Mayor Harry Kim. During a Volcano community meeting Thursday, Kim and his team said the route will be two lanes paved along Old Volcano Links Road, parallel to Hwy 11. It will be used only when Hwy 11 is completely shut down and will be accessed from Ka`ū by turning left on Pi`imauna Dr. and immediately right onto Old Golf Links Road, to Old Volcano Road, where motorists will be reconnected to Hwy 11.
Kim said he would start the legal work yesterday, Friday, and would call the governor and county, state, federal, and private sector partners to make the road ready within a week.
He said the alternate route is necessary with the earthquakes rattling and damaging Hwy 11, which "is checked, is walked with every quake" to assess it for danger to motorists. The road is being repaired regularly, requiring reduction to one lane. In the future, damage may require closing both lanes.
Mayor Harry Kim talks about putting the alternate route to Hwy 11
through a quiet neighborhood. Photo from Nā Leo TV
The mayor said his first choice is to keep Hwy 11 open, but that might be impossible. "We are trying to do everything we can, as relative to Hwy 11," said the mayor. "There are only three cross island routes, through here, through Saddle Road, and through Hamakua." He said he told everyone working on the project that "Under no circumstances can we allow any time lapse, as much as possible, for people not to be able to commute to where they have to commute."
In the meantime, Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park is willing to provide access to some of its roads, which are also compromised -- but only for emergencies, Kim said. "It would be foolhardy" to regularly use Volcanoes National Park routes that are closer to the crater, said the mayor.
Regarding the alternate route going through the low density, quiet Golf Links neighborhood, the mayor said, "We realize this is an intrusion on your community, the privacy of yours... Most of you, like me, we choose to live here and one of the main reasons is the beauty of the quiet." He said he hears Volcano people "talk about admiration of beauty, of rain, the sun, the morning dew, the quiet, the trees..."
He said he understands how Volcano people feel because, "I live in a place where people bulldoze every `ōhia tree, and I'm so so weak, I have to tell my wife I have to get out of here; I'm going to start crying. I can tell that to you people because you understand that. That's why you're here."

County Managing Director Will Okabe, and a sign language interpreter during
the Volcano meeting on Thursday. Photo from Nā Leo TV
The mayor said that while he knows the alternate route would intrude into privacy, options are "very limited."
State Sen. Lorraine Inouye, who said her family owns a home on Old Golf Links Road, said property owners pay for the maintenance of the road, which is legally owned by Kamehameha Schools. She said she hopes the county will talk more with the owners about the details, but she understands this is an emergency. County Managing Director Will Okabe said his staff has gone door to door along Old Golf Links Road and has also walked Hwy 11 where there are some 30 earthquakes a day, bringing the county to understand that the alternative route needs to be completed soon.
A woman who lives on Golf Links Road said her children play in the road. How will they stay safe? Magno said the same situation happened with the alternate route built along Beach Road in Puna. The county warned truckers that if they pose a danger to the community they will be kept out. There have been no problems said Magno.
The Principal of Volcano School of Arts & Sciences, Kalima McKinney, said a third of her students come from Ka`ū, and noted that Volcano School would have to send its buses along Old Golf Links Road if Hwy 11 were to be closed.
Steve Stephenson, who lives in Volcano and works at Ka`ū High & Pāhala Elementary School, said he is happy there is so much concern with making the alternate route.

to playing along quiet Old Golf Links Road. Photo from Nā Leo TV
Jeffrey Judd, who said he has lived on Old Golf Links Road for 42 years, said the road is fracturing and that he is measuring and taking photographs of it. He said that he understands why the county needs the second option for the alternative route farther away from Hwy 11, as Old Golf Links Road could eventually be unusable. Judd said he has cracks on his property, concrete is broken, and his yard steams in the wintertime.
Rick Warshauer, of Volcano, also brought up the instability of the Golf Links Road area and concerns about large trucks being able to make the turn off Hwy 11 to the alternate route.

MORE EMERGENCY STATE FUNDING FOR THE VOLCANO DISASTER became available Friday when Gov. David Ige signed a third supplementary proclamation relating to Kīlauea's continuing lava flows and seismic activity.
"This supplementary proclamation extends the authority to spend state funds as appropriated for quick and efficient action to protect the health, safety and welfare of our Hawai`i County residents. This also helps to provide quick relief of suffering, damage, and losses caused by the eruption," said the governor.
"The lava flows and volcanic activity continue to endanger communities in the Puna District, and are expected to continue causing additional losses, suffering, and the displacement of individuals and families," said a statement from his office.
Ige signed the initial emergency proclamation on May 3, the day the latest eruption began. The governor issued the first supplementary proclamation on May 9, and the second supplementary proclamation on June 5. The third supplementary proclamation issued today is effective until Oct. 2, 2018.
Overall preparedness with the Volcano Emergency Response team received encouragement from the county
at Thursday's community meeting at Cooper Center. Photo from Nā Leo TV
During a meeting in Volcano Village this week, County Civil Defense Administrator Talmadge Magno brought up overall preparedness. He thanked the Volcano Emergency Response team which is making ready in case there is a larger seismic, explosive event, even though it is a small probability. Magno said that preparedness involves the resilient community in order for neighbors to help one another. "You know who your neighbors are; you communicate with them." He said there is also the vulnerable community whom the resilient community knows and can help during a disaster. "You need to know who's around your block."

Map shows forecast of winds affecting Hawai`i, with Ka`ū having a 40
percent chance of receiving tropical-storm-force
winds. Map from nhl.noaa.gov
HURRICANE HECTOR EXPLODED into a Category 4 hurricane today, but new forecasts form the National Hurricane Center predict it will track south of Ka`ū. Hector has grown, with hurricane-force winds extending up to 30 miles, and tropical storm-force winds up to 105 miles, from the eye. Winds speeds are about 130 mph, with higher gusts.
At 5 p.m., Hector was 1,395 miles east-southeast of Hilo. The hurricane's forward speed has decreased to 12 mph from 13 mph, but that speed is expected to pick up over the coming days. The National Hurricane Center forecasts a 40 percent change of tropical-storm force winds to hit Ka`ū overnight on Tuesday.

JUDGE JILL OTAKE WAS CONFIRMED TO HAWAI`I U.S. DISTRICT COURT in a unanimous vote in the Senate this week. Sen. Mazie Hirono said, "Throughout her confirmation process, Jill Otake demonstrated her respect for the rule of law and the serious thought she's given to how she would approach her work as a judge. She is exactly the type of nominee this president, or any president, should be nominating for every district court vacancy."
Jill Otake was nominated to Hawai`i's
U.S. District Court Judge in March.
Otake currently serves as an Assistant United States Attorney and as the Acting Chief of the Special Crimes Section in the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Hawai`i, having previously served as Deputy Chief. Prior to joining the office in 2014, she spent nine years as an Assistant United States Attorney and Deputy Supervisor in the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington, where she also served as Co-Supervisor of the General Crimes Unit and Deputy Supervisor of the Terrorism and Violent Crimes Unit. During this period, she served as an adjunct professor of trial advocacy at Seattle University School of Law.
Before becoming an Assistant United States Attorney, Otake spent six years as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office in King County, Washington.
Otake was born and raised in Hawai`i. She is a graduate of `Iolani School and served as a law clerk to Associate Justice Simeon R. Acoba, Jr. of the Supreme Court of Hawai`i. Otake earned her B.S., cum laude from Georgetown University and her J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law.
RICHARD ABBETT AND YUMI KAWANO ARE VYING FOR MAILE DAVID'S COUNTY COUNCIL SEAT. Three County Council candidates are signed up for the Primary Election on Saturday Aug. 11, desiring to represent the largest geographical area on the island - District 6. It includes Volcano through Ka`ū, and all three vow to care about environment and culture. The Non-Partisan race ends with the Primary, unless there is a run-off.
Maile David
Incumbent Maile David has held the office for almost four years, following a paralegal career in which she worked on preserving historic sites and open space.
During her council tenure, she has traveled the district often, and advocated an "open door policy" between council members and their constituents. She said she is able to nurture relationships between communities, county, state, and federal government.
She has supported cultural exchange events, including a sister city relationship between Pahala and the place in the Philippines that sent many sugar workers to immigrate here years ago.
She lists as some of her nuts and bolts accomplishments the preservation of the Makahiki lands makai of Hwy 11 near Nā`ālehu, the new Nā`ālehu and Pāhala Playgrounds, coordination of the new Hawaiian Ocean View Estates Transfer Station, completion of Volcano transfer Station, and helping to ensure availability of water in Ocean View during well repairs.
Richard Abbett
Repairs to Cooper Center, with a roof and new water tank; support for Summer Fun at Kahuku, Nā`ālehu and Pāhala; a new digital scoreboard at Nā`ālehu Park; and support for the Hawaiian Ranchos Community opposition to industrial solar installation are other accomplishments listed.
Among her successful Resolutions at the County Council is a proposed General Plan amendment to "Implement Ahupua`a Philosophy in Land Use Planning," authorizing the Mayor to work with the state, with $725,000 toward a second well for Ocean View, and securing $750,000 for Kahuku Park improvements. She also supported the bill that requires a permit to consume alcohol at Kahuku Park.
Richard Abbet, of Nā`ālehu, spoke at recent public meetings against the proposal to put the SpinLaunch space facility near Ocean View. "We need economic development. We are farmers. We could grow hemp, we already grow weed," he said.
He pointed to the unique population of people who live here. "The Hawaiians that lived here have lived here forever; the rest of us came here for a reason, and it's not to be like the rest of you. This is the last place in the United States that we have this freedom."
Yumi Kawano
Abbett said that tax dollars in Kaʻū should go to "medical, for schools - for even bus stops. We are the poorest district in the poorest county in the poorest state."
Yumi Kawano, of Volcano, said she wants to be "a wise and strong voice for Puna on the Community Development Plan's Puna Action Committee." When marching in the Nā`ālehu Independence Day Parade, she said that the Nā`ālehu Theatre should be renovated, an effort that many council members have made in the past without agreement from its owners.

HISTORY OF SCAN
SCAN NETWORK
Independent Advisory Committee on Applied Climate Assessment
In August of 2017, the current U.S. Administration allowed a federal advisory committee to lapse that was providing advice to federal agencies on how to organize climate assessment activities to better inform decisions likely to be affected by climate change, such as investment by states, cities, and private-sector firms in transportation, water resources, energy, and related infrastructures.
In January 2018, the committee was recommissioned by Governor Cuomo of NY State on behalf of the US Climate Alliance - a multi-state coalition. New York State is joining with Columbia University, the American Meteorological Society, and others in providing financial, professional, and logistical support for this effort.
The core question the committee will address is how to enable stakeholders, including state and city governments and the private sector, to work alongside the federal government to produce and use rigorous scientific information to help prepare their communities for a changing climate. Changing patterns of extreme events such as droughts, wildfires, floods, and storms make basing such decisions on past climate records risky.
While we are still forming the Advisory Committee, here is the current list of expert members!
Dr. Richard Moss, Chair of the Committee; Fellow, Columbia University. [BIO]

In 1927, Fritz Jahr, a Protestant pastor, philosopher, and educator in Halle an der Saale, published an article entitled "Bio-Ethics: A Review of the Ethical Relationships of Humans to Animals and Plants" and proposed a "Bioethical Imperative," extending Kant's moral imperative to all forms of life. Reviewing new physiological knowledge of his times and moral challenges associated with the development of secular and pluralistic societies, Jahr redefines moral obligations towards human and nonhuman forms of life, outlining the concept of bioethics as an academic discipline, principle, and virtue. Although he had no immediate long-lasting influence during politically and morally turbulent times, his argument that new science and technology requires new ethical and philosophical reflection and resolve may contribute toward clarification of terminology and of normative and practical visions of bioethics, including understanding of the geoethical dimensions of bioethics.

My Inspiration to Establish MCC
Dr. Basheer Ahmed
It was in the summer of 1995 when I received a call from Catholic Charities regarding the newly arrived Muslim refugees from Bosnia who needed information regarding places to worship and availability of halal food. They tried to get the information from local mosques but they did not get any response. During the early 1990's, there were only a few mosques in this area who were struggling to build an appropriate place of worship and paying attention to teachings of Quran and Islam. I was aware that Dallas Fort Worth did not have any social service organizations to deal with the issues confronting newly arrived Muslim refugees and immigrants. I had met some of the refugees and realized that they do need help on multiple issues and had difficulty in accessing services available due to religious, cultural and language difficulties. I was also aware that other religious entities have established well functioning social service organizations such as Catholic Charities and Jewish Family Services.
I called a meeting of local Muslim community leaders and 35 individuals responded to my call including religious leaders, physicians, businessmen and social activists. They all accepted that we need to establish an organization to assist Muslim refugees and immigrants who have difficulty in accessing these services due to financial reasons and cultural language difficulties. Soon thereafter, the Muslim Community Center for Human Services (MCC) was established to provide the necessary services. Initially, MCC provided services to Muslim minorities but in 2004 MCC opened its door to everybody irrespective of religion, race, ethnicity or country of origin. MCC is the first organization established in Texas which offers both medical and social services to the needy community. During the past 20 years, some medical clinics were established in the Dallas area but MCC is still the only organization which provides the medical, dental, mental health and social services under one umbrella.
The only requirement of service has been that a need existed that an individual or family could not afford. We saw it as our mission to meet that need, helping others that did not have the means to help themselves or those that they loved.
Today, the Muslim Community Center for Human Services meets the healthcare needs of the indigent DFW community and has continued to meet the needs of people- refugees and those born in America, including people of many ethnicities and backgrounds.
The primary source of funding is from donors in our community. However we also receive funding from different governmental sources and private foundations. Over the last two decades, MCC has received between $5,000 to $10,000 per year in funding from the following sources:
Federal Grant for victims of violence,
State of Texas grant for victims of violence,
Consortium of Hospitals grant for providing medical services,
Meadows Foundation grant for hiring an executive director
Islamic Relief for domestic violence education,
Susan G. Komen for breast cancer screening and education,
Baitulmal Foundation for general support.
Communities Foundation of TX
Sid W. Richardson Foundation
TX Health Resources Foundation,
Medtronic grant for medical services,
National Association of Free Clinics
CVS diabetes education grant

Q: Python Multiline Match End of String I'm trying to match until I hit a pattern("this" ignoring any white spaces between start of line and pattern) or until the end of a string in a paragraph by using:
r'.*?(?=^[^\S\n]*this|$)'

This regex string works fine if my string is only one line($ matches an end of line). However I could not find the regex to match a end of string, so is there a clean way around this? The following is my code:
import re
a_str="""\
paragraph starts here
another line
this line may or may not exist"""
a_match = re.compile(r'.*?(?=^[^\S\n]*this|$)', re.MULTILINE|re.DOTALL).match(a_str)

EDIT:
Expected output:
"paragraph starts here\nanother line"

A: It's now possible to denote the very end of string in multi-line mode with '\Z'.
Ref: https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/re.html

A: Seems like removing the extra '|$' in the look ahead did the trick.
Look ahead also matches end of string apparently - I'm assuming
r'.*?(?=^[^\S\n]*this)'

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books! Today is the first day that it's started to FINALLY feel like spring around here in Central NY. We might even see 50 degrees. GASP! So I thought, what better way to celebrate then to share a book that has a beautiful cover featuring roses. I kind of have this thing for flowers (similar to my peanut butter obsession). I love them! I have two little flower gardens every year and they make me smile. I happen to have four mini rose bushes in them – four different colors! So this cover reminds me that I will one day see my roses again. Soon (I hope)!
Are you finally having spring weather where you are?
Okay, that one is kind of short, so I'll be nice and give you line two. By the way – I am really enjoying this book, so you have a chance to read it, I highly recommend!
← A Walk With Heavenly Spirits Review and Giveaway!
I'm in Western New York and we are supposed to have an idea storm on Saturday! My first winter here after living in Arizona for five years…….
Hahaha. I'm glad that you gave us more than the very first line of Amongst the Roses (and yes, that cover is absolutely stunning).
We have had two gorgeous days – sunny and getting into the low 70's although a bit windy. We even took our first trike ride yesterday. However, rains moving back in today AGAIN and suppose to drop to the low 30's nights through the weekend. I'm ready for spring to come and stay.
For the first time in her life, Megan Jacobs felt almost brave.
Why is she shivering and in dread? Great first two lines. On my blog, I'm featuring Jen Turano's book, A Match of Wits. Here I will share the first line on page 113 of a book I'm currently reading, The Heaven Answer Book by Billy Graham. "Marriage in Heaven will be on a much higher plane because the church will be united with Christ." Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Vioxx, the popular arthritis medication, has been pulled from the market by drug manufacturer Merck & Co. The company announced an immediate, voluntary, worldwide withdrawal of the drug after a three-year colon cancer study confirmed long-standing concerns the drug raises the risk of heart attack and stroke.
A new warning is out about the popular arthritis drug Celebrex, saying it increased heart attacks in a recent study. This is the same class of drugs that contains Vioxx, which was pulled from the market due to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, and Bextra, which had a heart warning added to its label this year.
Pfizer announced that it has suspended the use of Celebrex, the popular arthritis pain medication, in a cancer-prevention study because those who took Celebrex had 2.5 times as many fatal and nonfatal heart attacks as those who did not take the drug. The company said that it has no plans to pull it from the market until it studies the data.
PS : Dr. Sivam avatar looks crooked...doesnt reflect the same feel as your usual avatars..
I don't think people who are aware of these drugs would never go for these pain medications. Actually doctor prescribed me vioxx for 2 weeks before this was pulled away from the market. Thank God I did not take it for a prolonged period of time.
PS: My avatar pic. is not so clear....yeah I can see that. I dunnu why? :?
I Have been using Aleve for sometime. For Nasal congestion and Sinus. Thnx for the info.
Are u using alleve for nasal congestion and sinus? Doctors usually prescribe alleve for arthirtis and related pain.
Alleve has not yet pulled away from the drug store but it's better to stop using it.
Drugs prescribed for curing ailments causing so much trouble; while pills like Via@#$ are said to reduce risk of heart attack.
if this post is inappropriate: Moderators please remove it.
No shy ............so far nothing negative about ibubrufen. Hopefully there should not be any in the future.
I dont understand Y ur Dr is prescribing Viox,celebrex,alleve,iboprufen :?
adhu congestionuku tharalai...he must have given it for pain...Thalai valinu solli irupeengo so adhu prescribe panniirukango.
each medication has its own side effects...so its best to read & get to know about the medication one takes.
since there hasnt been any major scientific break thorough in generic drugs these days .. the drug companies have started a different marketing strategy with medicines .. like make generic drungs for pain relief and nasal decongesant , hig temperature etc .. composite drugs..
why oh why are you all taking so much medication for such little things?
you guys actually go out there and voluntarily take drugs for simple things like nasal congestion?
I'm sorry if I seem rude, but just because it's available does not mean you have to pump your body full of chemicals.
unless it gets real bad...then only then go see the doctor.
abdominal distension, abdominal tenderness, abscess, chest pain, chills, contusion, cyst, diaphragmatic hernia, fever, fluid retention, flushing, fungal infection, infection, laceration, pain, pelvic pain, peripheral edema, postoperative pain, syncope, trauma, upper extremity edema, viral syndrome.

12 What is the longest prison sentence?
13 Why do judges sentence 1000 years?
14 Is life without parole cruel and unusual punishment?
Is life in prison for 15 years?
In most of the United States, a life sentence means a person in prison for 15 years with the chance for parole. It can be very confusing to hear a man sentenced to life, but then 15 years later they are free. Parole is when a prisoner is released into the world temporarily or permanently on account of good behavior.
How long is jailed for life?
A life sentence lasts for the rest of a person's life – if they're released from prison and commit another crime they can be sent back to prison at any time.
Who is the longest serving prisoner in Ireland?
Geoffrey Evans (born 1940 in England – 20 May 2012 in Dublin) was an English serial killer who murdered two women in the Republic of Ireland with an accomplice John Shaw in 1976, and one of the longest – serving prisoners in Ireland.

What is 10 years to life in prison?
, I was incarcerated for 10 years; mostly in federal prison. Essentially, an indeterminate sentence (the words "…to life ", in this context) means that they aren't ever required to let you out of prison.
What does 15 years to life mean?
An example of a life sentence with the possibility of parole is when an offender is sentenced to serve a term of " 15 years to life." Offenders sentenced to life with the possibility of parole are not guaranteed parole and can be held in prison for life.
" 25 to life " is a prison sentence primarily given within the USA. Somebody with this sentence will be in prison for a minimum of 25 years but might stay there for the rest of their life. After 25 years, they will be *considered* for parole.
Is a life sentence until you die?
In rare cases, a "whole life " tariff is specified, which means the person will be in prison until they die. ( They can enter an appeal after some period of time, but this is only an appeal against the length of the tariff).
What is the normal sentence for manslaughter?
Voluntary manslaughter sentencing will vary by case and jurisdiction, but most convictions result in prison time. According to federal sentencing guidelines, the penalty for voluntary manslaughter consists of fines, 10 years or less in prison, or both.
How much do prisoners get paid in Ireland?
There are more than 4,000 prisoners in 13 jails across the state. Every inmate receives a daily allowance from the Irish Prison Service which they can spend to buy items in the tuck shop. The standard daily rate is €1.70 but this rises to €2.20 for well-behaved prisoners and is cut to 95 cents for bad behaviour.
You might be interested: Readers ask: What Time Can You Buy Alcohol On Saturday In Ireland?
Do Irish prisons allow conjugal visits?
Ireland does not allow conjugal visits.
Can you smoke in Irish prisons?
Prisoners do not have a right to smoke in prison. You must ask for permission to smoke in your cell or in other parts of the prison. Smoking is only allowed in certain areas in prison including your cell and outside areas.
What is the longest prison sentence?
Another Oklahoma jury sentenced Charles Scott Robinson to 30,000 years behind bars in 1994 for raping a small child. The world's longest non-life sentence, according to the "Guinness Book of Records", was imposed on Thai pyramid scheme fraudster Chamoy Thipyaso, who was jailed for 141,078 years in 1989.
Why do judges sentence 1000 years?
Why do judges sometimes add "plus 1000 years " on a life sentence? … The reason is usually due to the modern USA's laws that replaced the concurrent sentencing laws of the past. It used to be that when you got a sentence such as life imprisonment, all sentences after that were served concurrently. 4
Is life without parole cruel and unusual punishment?
The Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It reasoned that life without parole, the "second most severe penalty permitted by law," should only be imposed on the most severe offenses, such as murder and homicide.

We leave not because we can't go further; we leave because we know not how further is to be achieved. The tranquility of new love trembles like shallow earthquakes that begin with subtle doubt: suddenly there are questions of uncertainty in a love once immune to all second thoughts. Self-inflicted questions find relief only by keeping your heart separate from the beloved. It's preying time and only the space of separation can provide relief to haunting parables and puzzling paradoxes. Neither leaving nor staying draws certainty nearer, so we languish in purgatory until one pain becomes unbearable over the other. Wounded, we slither into the gutter of least suffering and bid sorrow welcome to masks our true misery. My love, love does not question itself, only we question love. Love is deaf, love is a silent witness put before a judge and executioner too eager to sever head from heart and set free the mind from riddles the heart refuses to resolve. We slaughter love, leaving carcasses at the back door only to see love, in time, rise before us again with unanswered questions still seeking resolution. The bodies, names and faces change but the cycle remains perpetual. My love, love asks no questions but is a victim interrogated by a despot mind needing love to be certain and unconditional, yet never trusting itself to be worthy of such a peerless gift. Love does not slip away into the night but is suffocated in fear only to return as the ghost in the gown of regret. Each heart, your heart, knows why it beats in harmony with another and needs not ask questions nor build paradoxes when the answer is already known: simply love, further.
What have I learned in this undulating path? So much and most of it escapes words. However, if I am to share it's to say that I've learned a question. The question is: what value did I bring into the life of another, and what value did they bring into my world? Irony is it's taken all these experiences to separate what is truly valuable from lipstick gloss and the scars left behind. Wisdom is in knowing the question before the aftermath.
I want to thank one special person in the producing of this series of stories. My friend Deb, my editor who caught my quirky grammar but more important made me think with clarity about what I wanted to say and sometimes reveal a little more of what needed to be said. Thanks Deb.
Does the cycle remain perpetual? Does this mean history repeats itself? Or does something different happen each time.
You are profound. Articulate. Complicated.
Your question is complex to answer in a few words. I believe that in the big picture, life is a teacher. Like any great teacher it will focus on a weakness that needs strength for growth to take place. The bodies, faces and names that test our weaknesses may change, or not, but the intent is consistent and clear whether we see it for what it is, or not.

Improving Health Care Interoperability: Are We Making Progress?
Findings from a survey of IT and business professionals at health systems point to ongoing challenges sharing data
New survey research from the Center for Connected Medicine (CCM) points to the challenges health systems face with interoperability.
The survey of technology executives at U.S. hospitals and health systems finds that nearly a third say their data-sharing efforts are insufficient, even within their own organizations, and fewer than four in 10 say they are successfully sharing health care data with other health systems.
And the most popular solution being pursued to address the interoperability challenges, which have long plagued health care, is switching to a single electronic health record (EHR) system, according to research — "Improving Health Care Interoperability: Are We Making Progress?" — sponsored by the CCM and conducted by HIMSS Media.
[Webinar: Have we reached a tipping point for greater health care interoperability?]
Majority say interoperability objectives are a priority
Nearly 60% of the respondents cited moving to one EHR as an organizational step being taken to overcome interoperability difficulties, much higher than other actions named, such as the adoption of widely promoted health care exchange standards, such as FHIR, cited by 37%.
On a positive note, the survey found that a majority of those who responded are aligning their technology plans with interoperability objectives in mind.
"This survey supports other research we have conducted at HIMSS which shows that health care is making strides advancing interoperability. However, this research also suggests providers feel most successful at sharing data within their own health systems, and less often report success sharing medical data with payers, patients, or other health systems and partners," said Janet King, senior director of market insights at HIMSS Media.
Interoperability challenges stand in way of goals
The survey also found that challenges with data interoperability are making it difficult for health systems to pursue key strategic goals, including enabling patient-facing apps, tapping into unstructured data, and reducing the cost of care. In fact, only about a quarter of respondents said their organizations' work to improve interoperability had allowed them to reduce the cost of care.
[Video: Aneesh Chopra is expecting big advances in interoperability for health care]
The most crucial elements needed to push interoperability forward in health care, according to survey respondents, are commitment by senior leadership, financial incentives or penalties that encourage organizations to share data with one another and with individual patients, and advances in tools and technologies.
"Extending advancements in interoperability to the broader health care ecosystem will be critical to progressing digital health initiatives and enabling new ways to serve patients," King said. "Advancements in technology solutions are recognized by more than half of the health care leaders responding to the research as among the most critical elements to make that happen."

Tesla takes lead again as Norway reports 8 out of 10 sales are electric
Christine Bu. Source: Elbilforening
Norway, which has a target to sell electric cars only by 2025, has hit another milestone in sales in June with nearly 8 out of 10 private car buyers choosing electric.
And leading the mob, once again, is the Tesla Model 3, which had briefly taken a backseat in late 2020 to the Volkswagen ID.3 and the Audi e-tron.
In June, 20,392 new passenger cars were registered in Norway – roughly the same number of battery-electric and plug-in hybrids combined sold in Australia for the entire 2020-2021 financial year.
This is a new record for Norway, and means that 82.7% of its total sales were plug-in electric (including both battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles).
"These are fantastic figures, which show that it is possible to achieve the goal of only selling zero-emission cars in 2025," said Christina Bu, general secretary of the Norwegian Electric Car Association.
Significantly, 64.6% of total sales were all-electric, up 20.7 points from June last year, and one in five cars registered in June were a new model of electric car not available in 2020, according to the Norwegian Electric Car Association.
Of all battery-electric sales, almost 3,200 were new Model 3, and one-third of these were the Standard Range Plus variants. This is the third-best sales figure ever for Tesla, beaten only by the "insane" delivery record in March 2019 of 5,315 cars after it was first introduced, and 4,232 cars in December last year.
Out of the top 20 cars sold in the month, 12 were electric including the Tesla Model 3. The Ford Mustang Mach-e claimed second place with 1,289 sold in June and the Volkswagen ID.4 claimed fifth place.

In a rare statement from Tesla staff, senior communications manager Even Sandvold Roland said: "The selection of family-friendly electric cars continues to increase, but Model 3 is still Norwegian car buyers' clear favourite," according to Tek.no.
"So far this year, at least two Model 3s are registered for every single delivered electric car of comparable models from other brands. In other words, we see that the broader electric car offer provides a clear increase in interest in Tesla," he said.
But the same cannot be said for the commercial market, says Bu, where EVs only account for 37.3% of total sales.
"Due to loopholes in car taxes, there are lower taxes on polluting cars for companies. The Government must fix this as soon as possible if we are to reach 100 per cent market share for electric cars and electric vans in just three and a half years," Bu says.
"If we are to be on track for the 2025 goal, the electric car share must rise to well over 60 per cent this year. If we had been far past, it would not have been for the companies to reduce their share of electric cars considerably."


George Henry Boker was an American poet, playwright, and diplomat.
At Laurel Hill Cemetery (3822 Ridge Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19132) is buried George Henry Boker (1823-1890), American poet, playwright, and diplomat. Bayard Taylor and Richard Henry Stoddard would be long-lasting friends. Also buried here is Anna Lukens (1844-1917), graduated from the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, in 1870. A member of the class attending clinics in the Pennsylvania Hospital, November, 1869, when the students from the Woman's Medical College were hissed by the male members of the clinic. Miss Lukens and a Miss Brumall led the line of women students who passed out of the hospital grounds amid the jeers and insults of the male students, who even threw stones and mud at them, but these brave women were not discouraged by such conduct and might be considered to have blazed the way for other women who today enjoy the privilege.
Together since 1982: 32 years.

However, Carmen spoke with LatinasinBusiness.us about her other interest, the challenges in bringing high quality education across the board with inclusion in mind. She is a board member of the NEA Foundation, an organization that supports student success by building strong systems of shared responsibility between public school educators and key community partners.
Carmen: I am a proud member of the NEA Foundation's board because the Foundation's vision and mission reflect my own: to ensure that teachers can teach effectively, especially to children of color, and provide the support these children need to thrive academically and as future adult citizens.
LIBizus: How do you see the future of minority students?
Carmen: With regards to the political divides you ask about, the NEA Foundation model could and should be the standard because it brings varied ideologies, perspectives and stances to the same table around that which matters the most: student achievement. Our legislatures, districts, unions, businesses, and community groups must begin to transcend their political differences and focus on the common goal—support all kids, not just some, to become successful members of our society.
Lastly, we need to convey high expectations for our children, and keep them on track to achieve graduation and college goals, or other professional or vocational education opportunities.

← Why all the hiking this summer?
My husband and I have been called to teach 11 year old scouts in the LDS church. I am looking for an outline for the year of what to do every week. All the boys are new so we are starting from scratch. We are supposed to take them from Scout to First Class by the time they are twelve and we have no clue what to do.
Unfortunately, that's not surprising based on similar situations I've heard about from other LDS units: the Bishopric gives someone a calling in Scouts and offers no roadmap of what they need nor how to get started. I'm glad you searched the web and found my blog. I hope I can help.
The good news is that many, many others before you have already figured it out so you don't have to recreate the wheel. That said, I would begin by looking at the different Advancement Plans for Eleven Year Old Scouts that have been organized by veteran scouters for this exact reason. The requirements have changed a little for 2016, but that should at least get you headed down the right path.
The 2nd thing I would suggest is to attend your area's monthly Roundtable. These meetings are a plethora of helpful resources and useful information. Read more about WHY to attend.
Finally, I would *strongly* suggest you attend Wood Badge as soon as possible! Like I said, these things have already been figured out, so don't waste even 1 minute "alone and in the dark". Tap into every resource you have out there to minimize your learning curve and to make the most of this important responsibility. I can't emphasize that enough here and here and here.
I really do hope this helps and isn't too overwhelming. Just take it one step at a time and you'll get there. It won't happen overnight but hopefully your Bishopric understands this to AT LEAST know to keep you in that position long enough to be successful and consistent.
If you are reading this as a brand new Scoutmaster (or Assistant SM), here's my list of top 10 things you'll need to get your wheels on the ground and rolling in the right direction.

2016 election fox news hillary clinton jobs lame minimum wage pt Gag me with a tax cut scott walker sean hannity union busting unions wisconsin
Scott Walker Says Minimum Wage Is 'Lame,' Poor People Grody To the Max
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wants the electorate to know that he'll be the bestest president ever for workers, because unlike the dumb old Democrats, he refuses to give a shit about the minimum wage, which is barely worth even talking about. Why would anyone want a minimum wage job when they could be rich instead? This is only logical. Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox shortly after his Great Big Announcement Monday, Walker explained that by gutting unions, he has given workers more choices, and is therefore the real friend of working Americans (just as long as they know their place).
You see, the left is only talking about pointless stuff like raising the minimum wage. But is just making the minimal possible amount really anything that an American should aspire to? Talk about stupid ideas!
"The left claims they're for American workers, and they've got lame ideas, things like minimum wage," Walker said. "We need to talk about how we get people skills and qualifications they need to get jobs that go beyond minimum wage."
[contextly_sidebar id="NeOBVp6KUwEg8D0vigw1xLjyTd5OaH8u"]
Yeah, because if everyone just had more opportunity, then wages would all go up, maybe, and there would be no need to raise the minimum wage, or to talk about raising it, because it's a lot more fun to think about how everyone could become rich. If we "expand opportunity" -- probably through tax cuts on the rich -- then the tens of millions of people who remain in minimum wage jobs will really be proven unworthy, because just look at them, still making only minimum wages even with all these expanded opportunities! Besides, it's not like Hillary Clinton's call for increasing the minimum wage means she cares about working people either, because something something union thugs:
"The reason they're upset, the reason Hillary Clinton said what she said was we took power out of the big hands [of] union bosses and put it into the hands of the hard-working people," the Wisconsin Republican added.
And now the hard-working people have all this power, and they are delighted with the fantastic economic growth in Wisconsin, which is currently 36th in the nation in private-sector job growth. (It was 11th when Walker took office. Success!) This is actually terrific news for Walker, since anyone who does get a job in Wisconsin feels really lucky, while in states where there are lots of jobs, people don't appreciate having them.
And just think, Scott Walker wants to bring that kind of success to the rest of America! If he pulls that off, there'll be tons of people who won't have to worry about having a minimum-wage job anymore.

Restoring Respect for Life

I am writing you today, Wednesday the 23rd of Mary's month of May, still reflective and prayerful for a Spiritually positive outcome in the Republic of Ireland national vote this coming Friday (5-35-18). A "Yes" vote will repeal its constitutional protection of a preborn right to life. For hundreds of years, considered the "most Catholic of countries", Ireland's faith has been severely eroded by immigration coupled with a heightening of economic success and affluence, brought about by their 1973 membership in the European Union. For example, between 1973 and 2015 Ireland received over €74.3 billion from the EU, while only contributing €32 billion to the EU budget. In my short lifetime I've come to realize that faith flourishes in poverty and languishes in prosperity. Economic consequences notwithstanding, the potential tragedy (that will be known when this is read, as the vote will have taken place), of yet another country legalizing the evil of abortion, primarily due to either ignorance and apathy or a downright evil and sinful disregard (and refutation) of our Creator's Commandment … Thou shall not kill!"
The pro-death advocates are telling us… "It's a human rights issue." When on earth did humans ever have the right to end the life of another? Please continue to pray, not only for Ireland, but for our own country, and for a continued increase in public awareness of the barbarity and cruelty that we have allowed, unchecked, to be a civilly lawful execution of undesired children for 45 years. Let us all check our own consciences before we castigate the Irish citizens. What have we done during these 45 years, to bring about the end to legal abortion in our land of the free? And consider also, like him or not, in your lifetime, have you witnessed any other President of our country, who has done more to increase the protection of life for the pre-born, than the incumbent? And with this current positive, "pro-life political climate", what, if anything have each of us done (or committed to do) to take full advantage of the possibility of overturning the egregious Roe v. Wade Decision that civilly legalized abortion? Sadly, many of the politicians that were elected because of the pro-life platform of their party, are not so fully committed to life and have unfortunately made progress on many important pro-life efforts (like defunding the giant baby executioners, Planned Parenthood) very difficult, if not futile.
There are several subjects I would like to write about today. However, I do not want to let this recent international focus on the Respect for Life pass by without reflecting inwardly on the critical importance of the need for all of us Catholic Christians to find a way to take an active part in restoring respect for life to a top priority. Internationally, we have the Irish referendum on abortion and the recent English execution of one year old, Alfie Evans. Restoring respect for life should never be considered less important than any other social justice issue, as important as each of them are. Protection for the environment, protection for animals, poverty, inequality, climate change…while all of them are important, none of them have any benefit for those who are denied the most sacred of social justices…the Sacred Right to Life. As St. Mother Teresa cautioned us, "If we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" And how prophetic she was, with the tragic shootings that have proliferated, when she warned: "Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what they want." Please take to heart the importance of our genuine concern, marked with our prayerful and constructive action, to once again protect the life of the unborn in our nation, under God.
Our Respect-Life Coordinator, Pat Antoniello, has stepped down due to her move to South Florida to be with family members. I have previously, in my after-Mass comments, made note of this and thanked and complemented Pat on her fine work, and made a petition for parishioners to consider coming forward to continue to energize this most important parish ministry. My goal, as it is for all of our ministries, is to set up what I referred to as "tri-chairpersons." We have done this in several ministries which alleviates any undue pressure on any one individual. Two parishioners, long-time respect-life committee member, Dan Seicker, and Beth Dickie, have volunteered for two of those tri-chair positions, and I thank them profoundly. As you read this, please give consideration to stepping forward to be that third leader. There is a special Respect-Life Coordinator Commissioning Mass by our Bishop, to be held on Saturday morning June 16th in the Historic Church at St. Joseph's parish. I would love to have our third respect life leader be included in that ceremony.
Whether you become that leader, or simply commit to become a valuable ministry member, your contributions will be not only greatly appreciated by me, but by Our Lord and Savior as well. I pray that many of our Parish families will take this responsibility to stand up for the life of our un-born to heart. This Ministry will also be focusing on becoming involved with the tremendously helpful, reparative, and healing accompaniment of Rachel's Vineyard Retreats for those who have suffered the spiritual and psychological anguish of an abortion. I am deeply involved in this ministry and would love to have your caring assistance. Let me hear from you if you have felt moved to become more active in defense of Life.
Yours in the name of Jesus, born of the most Blessed Mother,

The Sicamous Eagles succeeded at home for the third game in a row against the Summerland Steam but fell to the Osoyoos Coyotes on the road.
On Friday, Feb. 8, the Eagles played host to the Steam at the Sicamous and District Rec Centre.
Neither team could get the puck past either goaltender in the opening period.
The Steam put 12 shots on Cole Steinke in the Eagles' net while the Sicamous skaters had eight chances to score on Summerland's Jared Breitkreuz.
Whether the cause was frustration due to the lack of scoring or animosity between the two teams, the officials had their hands full in the final two minutes of the first.
Two Steam players were dealt roughing penalties with two minutes left to play. Another scuffle at the buzzer led to a four-minute roughing call for Cairo Rogers of the Steam, as well as a delay of game penalty for Sebastien Archambault of the Eagles and a roughing penalty for David Cloutier.
The second period was a similar story, passing scoreless with the Steam outshooting the Eagles once more.
Thirteen minutes ticked off the clock in the final period before Trysten Brookman scored the game's only goal. The Eagles rode out their scant lead for the win.
The following night after a bus ride to Osoyoos, the Eagles took on the Coyotes. The home team scored early and often, racking up three goals in the opening period.
The Coyotes' offensive pace slowed down somewhat after the first intermission, but they tallied their fourth goal of the evening 15 minutes into the period on the power play.
The Eagles manged to score their first goal of the night just 15 seconds after the Coyotes' fourth.
Jordan Sheasgreen got the puck from Aaron Plessis who was set up by Nicholas Cossa and scored on Coyotes' goaltender Daniel Paul.
The third period ticked away scoreless capping off a 4-1 defeat for the Eagles.
