In a personal injury case, the NH injury attorneys at the Law Office of Manning & Zimmerman, PLLC submits copies of an injured victim's medical records and bills to an insurance company adjuster for evaluation. Insurance adjusters will review these documents and make a determination about whether to make an initial settlement offer on the case – and, if so, the amount of such an offer. Although these initial settlement offers are often low, it is still important for the injured victim to be aware of certain all-too-common "red flags" that insurance adjusters look for in medical records and the affects they can have on a personal injury case.
Degenerative changes usually appear on imaging studies, such as MRIs and x-rays, and are normally the result of aging. Degenerative changes are commonplace when the injured victim is middle-aged or elderly, but medical studies show that degenerative changes may begin to manifest themselves as early as a person's twenties. Thus, imaging studies would likely show some degenerative changes on almost everyone.
When injured victims in a personal injury case undergo x-rays and MRI's over the course of their treatment, insurance adjusters like to point to these imaging studies and attempt to show that the injuries – particularly soft tissue injuries – are simply the result of degenerative changes, rather than the car crash. This is particularly true when other medical records may demonstrate few, if any, objective findings for the symptoms the injured person is experiencing following an automobile accident.
Whenever an injured victim's imaging studies show degenerative changes, the Manchester, NH car accident lawyers at the Law Office of Manning & Zimmerman, PLLC may need to retain an expert who will testify that, despite the presence of pre-existing degenerative changes, those conditions were likely aggravated by the injury or injuries sustained in the collision, thereby bringing about the increased pain and symptoms.
Moreover, the injured person and/or the healthcare provider may testify that, despite the presence of degenerative changes on an imaging study, the injured victim was not experiencing any significant problems with the subject body part at any point immediately prior to the accident. Therefore, the subject injuries were caused by the accident and not by degenerative changes.
By the same token, when an injured plaintiff has sustained prior injuries to the same body part, such as in a prior slip-and-fall accident or motor vehicle accident, the adjuster will try to connect the injuries, pain, and symptoms from the current accident to the prior accident or injury. Again, however, testimony from a healthcare provider, as well as from the injured victim, will be necessary to show that, despite these prior accidents and injuries, the current accident aggravated or worsened those injuries, thereby establishing causation and increasing the prospect of high damages in the current personal injury case.
Gaps in an injured plaintiff's treatment are a red flag for insurance adjusters when reviewing medical records and bills. Significant gaps in treatment can be detrimental to an injured person's case although, as all know people who try to tough through pain, hoping the problem will resolve without the need to ongoing treatment, insurance companies and the attorneys they hire to represent their insureds at trial will try to use gaps in treatment to confuse a jury into thinking that the victim was not really hurt.
Knowing an insurance company will be picking apart every medical record in an effort to confuse juries and make them think victims are no being honest, is absolutely essential that injured victims comply with all of their healthcare providers' treatment recommendations, that they show up for all medical and physical therapy appointments on time, stay for the entire appointment, and complete all prescribed home exercise regimens.
Frequent late arrivals or appointment no-shows may negatively impact a personal injury case and will likely result in an insurance adjuster placing less settlement money on the case than if the injured person had complied fully with their treatment protocols.
It is also important that injured victims are mindful of what they say to their healthcare providers, including emergency management technicians (EMTs) and emergency room personnel, about their symptoms, pain levels, and injuries following a collision.
While being treated in an emergency room following an accident, an injured victim should be very clear about what their symptoms are and what body parts are bothering them at that time. All too often, injured persons focus only on the most significant problem. For example, if you go to the emergency room by ambulance for a broken arm, it often seems silly to be complaining about some stiffness in your knee and a bruise on you lower back. However, as the arm heals and the knee and back problems linger on, the insurance company will look back at that initial emergency room visit and question why those complaints were not made.
It is very important to be clear, concise, and accurate about injuries, pain levels, and symptoms when communicating with healthcare providers at every stage of treatment. Despite this, not every record is going to reflect every complaint, even if you tell your doctor.
Often, if someone is seeing an orthopedic doctor for a follow-up to a broken arm, the arm is the only focus of this visit. Some doctors will even tell you that you need separate appointments for separate issues – this often has to do with their billing procedures. Although injury victims cannot control how accurate or complete their medical records are, they can make sure they are thorough and accurate when speaking with their doctors, increasing the chances that the records will reflect all their complaints.
Medical records and their contents are important – especially upon initial review by an insurance adjuster at the beginning of a personal injury case. We know that people with pre-existing conditions are easier to hurt and harder to fix. This does not change in any way that the person who hurt them should be fully responsible for fully and completely compensating them for their injuries. But being mindful of the way that insurance companies will twist this information and try to use it against victims is important for anyone with an injury claim to understand.

According to the New Hampshire personal injury damages attorneys at the Law Office of Manning & Zimmerman, under New Hampshire law, injured plaintiffs are entitled to compensation for the injuries they sustain as a result of someone else's wrongdoing. The main purpose of monetary damages is to make an injured plaintiff whole – to the greatest extent possible under the law. While money may be a poor substitute for the loss of a limb, spinal cord injury, severe brain damage, or other catastrophic injury, it is unfortunately the only means of compensating injured plaintiffs under the law.
In this article, the New Hampshire accident lawyers at Manning & Zimmerman Law will explore some common types of economic and non-economic damages that are available in New Hampshire personal injury cases, as well as some basic techniques for proving these types of damages.
Economic damages are those types of damages that can readily be calculated in dollars and cents. These damages include compensation for medical treatment, medical bills, and lost wages sustained as a result of the plaintiff's injuries. Non-economic damages are not as easily calculated and proving these damages will often require the in-court testimony of lay witnesses and experts. Non-economic damages include compensation for loss of enjoyment of life, for pain and suffering, psychological/psychiatric harm, permanent injury, loss of future earning capacity, and loss of companionship.
An injured plaintiff in New Hampshire is entitled to payment of related medical and physical therapy bills that result from injuries sustained in an accident. The first step to proving these types of New Hampshire personal injury damages is for all medical records and bills to be submitted to the insurance company's adjuster. Assuming that liability is uncontested, these bills, along with information about how the injury affected you, will assist the adjuster in placing an initial settlement offer on the case. Since initial settlement offers made by adjusters are typically very low, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit in order to trigger a more favorable response from the insurance company or to prepare for trial by jury.
In cases where the insurance company is contesting certain medical treatment, procedures, or bills, it may be necessary to retain an expert witness, such as a treating doctor or other healthcare provider, who can testify about the necessity of the disputed medical treatment.
These harms and losses can be the most damaging and will typically require witnesses to talk about what was life like before the injury and afterwards. Testimony about the injured's passions, like golfing, hiking, skiing, fishing, etc., their family life, the pursuit of their "bucket list", etc. is important in telling the adjuster or the jury what happened and how life has been impacted.
An injured plaintiff may also receive damages for psychological or psychiatric harm if that treatment can reasonably be connected to the accident. This might include treatment for anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder that post-date the accident that are documented by the medical records and bills. It is not unusual for people injured in car crashes to experience anxiety about driving fearing that if it happened once it can happen again.
Injured plaintiffs can also recover for missed time from work resulting from injuries sustained in an accident. The insurance company typically requests documentation from the injured plaintiff's employer referencing the time missed from work and confirming the amount of the injured plaintiff's daily, weekly, or monthly wages.
In cases where the injured plaintiff is claiming a significant amount in lost wages, it may be necessary for a healthcare provider to testify in court about why he or she advised the injured plaintiff to be absent from work, including testimony about the extent and severity of the plaintiff's injuries. It may also be necessary for an employer to testify about the injured plaintiff's job duties before and after the accident, as well as any job limitations post-accident.
Injured plaintiffs in New Hampshire are also entitled to compensation for past, present, and future pain and suffering that occurs as a proximate result of injuries sustained in an accident. These damages are called 'non-economic damages' because they cannot readily be measured by an exact dollar amount. These New Hampshire personal injury damages include compensation for all of the inconvenience, pain, and aggravation caused by having to attend medical and physical therapy appointments – and undergoing and recovering from medical treatment. These damages also compensate the plaintiff for the general disruption to his or her life as a result of the injuries sustained.
In order to prove these damages, the most helpful kind of testimony is that of an experienced medical provider. In cases where serious permanent injuries are claimed, the plaintiff's attorney will often refer the plaintiff for a permanency evaluation. The doctor who performs the permanency evaluation will generate a report which is also sent to the insurance adjuster and defense attorney, if one is involved at that point in the litigation process. You should know, however, that when a doctor performs a permanency evaluation on an injured plaintiff, the insurance company's doctor will subsequently perform a so-called independent medical examination (IME) on the plaintiff. The IME doctor's report will typically not be as favorable as that of the permanency doctor and is usually not independent or an actual examination.
In addition, co-workers, family members, and friends of the injured plaintiff can also be helpful witnesses, and their testimony can be used to help prove the injured plaintiff's social, family, and work limitations following the accident. This may include testimony about social, work, household, or family activities that, in the witness' observation, are impossible or much harder for the injured plaintiff to do since sustaining injuries in the accident.
Some attorneys may also introduce life tables or mortality tables into evidence to justify New Hampshire personal injury damages for future pain and suffering. These tables approximate an injured plaintiff's life expectancy given his or her current age and gender, among other factors.
Injured plaintiffs can also receive compensation for loss of future earning capacity. These damages are usually available in catastrophic personal injury cases where an injured plaintiff, following an accident, is unable to return to the same job or the same line of work. In the most serious of cases, the injured plaintiff may not be able to work in any capacity following the accident. In order to prove these damages, it is often necessary to retain a vocational rehabilitation expert or economist who can testify about the plaintiff's potential future earnings had he or she not sustained the injuries, as well as the amount of the injured plaintiff's projected lost income measured over the remainder of his or her life.
Injured plaintiffs can also receive compensation for spousal support, loss of companionship, and loss of consortium. These New Hampshire personal injury damages compensate an injured plaintiff and their spouse for harm to the family or to a marital relationship, including the ability to socialize and spend time with children or be intimate with a spouse. These damages are oftentimes hard to prove and will likely require the trial testimony of spouses, family members, or marital relationship experts. These damages are only available in catastrophic personal injury cases.

There are no up-front costs for our services. All personal injury and workers' compensation cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning that we are only paid for our services if we successfully recover damages from the responsible party.

Favorite Games of 2007...
Dice's Favorite 5 Video Games of 2007
(These are, in order, the 5 games I enjoyed, respected, desired, and loved the most that I played for the first time in 2007.)
Admission: For financial and nostalgic reasons I live in a Nintendo only home, though I did enjoy playing a little bit of guitar hero I did not experience it enough to qualify it for consideration. I would rebuff your cries of "FANBOY!!" except that it just might be true.
Also the fact that Zach and Wiki isn't on here should be a sign of just how many great games are coming out.
The list:
5. Picross DS (Nintendo DS) - I know everyone was on a Sudoku kick for a while, but this was the puzzle game that owned my attention this year. It is a puzzler that is perfect for the touch screen DS and it is immediately addicting. Like Sudoku it's a puzzle I played in my puzzle books as a kid, and getting back into it was a ton of fun. It also wins the "Wife o' Dice" award as the game she played the most this past year.
4. Dice Wars (Online) - Aside from the absolutely wonderful name, this game is flat out fun. It's an addictive game that I found on a website for playing online games through the Wii (Wiicade.com) and once I got the hang of it I couldn't stop playing. I guess it's similar to Risk (a board game that I absolutely had no interest in ever playing) but I love it because it is challenging and can be played against varied amounts of computer opponents. Plus when I conquer the world, it flashes YOU WIN! on the screen and that always makes me feel good.
3. Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Wii) - The Wario Ware series has always been good, but with motion control the Wii notched the entire experience to another level. The silliness and animation styles might add to the idea that this is a "kids game", but underneath the cartoony shell is some real gameplay goodness especially for our A.D.D. generations.
2. Twilight Princess - I actually owned this game for the end of 2006, but I didn't start playing it until around this past spring. Once I did I couldn't stop until every last enemy was under my sword and my world was safe again. Twilight Princess remains to me the best example of how the new control styles of the Wii are suitable to any type of game. The sword swinging got old after a while, but using the IR to shoot and grab was a huge improvement and I found myself more and more immersed as the game went on. Though "Ocarina of Time" may still be on the throne, Twilight Princess manages to best even "Link to the Past" on my list of best Zelda games of all time.
1. Super Mario Galaxy - Galaxy is the Wii's coup de grace on old style game control. If Wario Ware showed how fun it was, and Twilight Princess showed how versatile it could be, SMG shows how motion control can work so seamlessly into a gaming mechanic that you can't imagine ever going back. This game is so visually engaging and so flat out fun that I hardly hesitate to say it's the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. Every new level feels like a revelation and the gameplay continues to evolve as you collect every last star. Not just my favorite game of this past year, but possibly my favorite game of all time.
BONUS LOOK INTO THE FUTURE:
Almost certain to make next year's list:

Keep connected: While Australia is huge and mobile black spots exist, resellers like Pennytel with their constantly improving network coverage, are helping to give customers flexibility and value with their mobile plans.
In Australia we have a boundless land to explore which is why many of us enjoy travelling the great outback and hitting the open roads to go bush.
You've probably already noticed that sometimes when you venture into regional and remote areas, there are places where you can't get mobile coverage; these areas are known as mobile black spots.
If you are on the road and there is little or no reception or the line drops out, you may have found a mobile black spot. A black spot is an area without mobile coverage because there isn't a mobile tower in that area.
As only two per cent of the population lives in the remote interior of the country, mobile towers are fewer as they require greater investment. The Federal Government and Telco industry take a serious and long term approach to rolling out mobile coverage and reducing the number of these black spots.
Luckily for most of us, we enjoy excellent coverage across most of Australia's populated areas. The other great thing is that resellers of the three main mobile phone networks also have access to this continuously increasing coverage.
One example of a reseller with improving network coverage is Pennytel, who recently announced an increase in 4G coverage to an additional 0.5 per cent of the Australian population. This may sound small but when you consider the size of Australia, it is huge in terms of kilometers covered.
What does this mean for the average Australian? More choice is the biggest benefit, as you can now access great mobile coverage without being tied to one of the three main carriers.
For example, residents in towns such as Parkes, Alectown, Condobolin, King Island, Strahan and more, can now enjoy 4G coverage with a reseller like Pennytel, whereas before they may not have had a choice of providers.
It also means consumers can choose a provider that offers other benefits too. Resellers are usually focused on providing better customer service and more value for money, something the 'big-guys' don't do well.
Pennytel CEO, Rene Sugo believes Pennytel is attracting many new customers thanks to the superior customer service they offer, in addition to great coverage.
"We resell Telstra's mobile network, so we can offer a quality product, but at cheaper rates," he said.
"It also means we can focus on ways to develop extra value for our customers, such as always having a real person answer your enquiries rather than a chatbot.
And with no lock-in contract you are free to switch plans as your needs change. Find out more by calling 1300 262 146.

Today I'm sharing some ornaments I painted as party favors for my daughter's recent end-of-season soccer party.
I spray painted the wooden circles a cream color, then randomly covered them with vinyl circles I cut with my Cricut. Then I spray painted them pink and removed the vinyl to create the polka dot background.
After they dried, I used my Cricut again to create a stencil and then painted the names black.
I sealed them with a glitter mod podge and topped them off with eyelet hooks and tulle ribbon.
They make great ornaments, and after Christmas they'll make a fun little decoration for their room!


A crisis of economic confidence?
New weekly tracking numbers from Gallup show that economic confidence in the country is at its lowest ebb since late January, a bad sign for President Obama as he seeks to convince the public that the financial health of the country is getting slowly but surely better.
The latest Gallup Economic Confidence Index, which combines how people feel about the current economic conditions in the country and what the future holds for the economy, stands at -26.
Here's Gallup's chart detailing their Economic Confidence Index measure going back to September 2011.
Yes, we are far from the deep economic pessimism of the fall of 2011 and, yes, questions have been raised more broadly about Gallup's data.
But, as we have written 100 times — give or take a few — in the past year, perception matters as much (if not more) than reality when it comes to the politics of the economy. If peoples' confidence in the economy is faltering, then it badly complicates President Obama's attempts to convince them that things are, in fact, getting better.
Absolutely. But, the trend line on economic confidence isn't encouraging for President Obama and his allies. It just isn't.

Return on Operating Assets – a ratio indicating how efficiently company utilizes its revenue generating kind of assets (assets, used in the ongoing operations of a company). Commonly being computed by the company's management to measure the operating earnings, generated by the revenue generating assets, and to consider minimizing usage of all other kinds of assets (the ones that do not contribute to the revenue). The computation includes such assets as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, inventories etc. In other words, return on operating assets ratio is a measure of firm's operating profitability. Obviously, company would be interested in higher values of this ratio, as this would indicate the efficient use of the revenue generating assets.
According to the calculations, the operating assets were yielding a 30% return in year 1. In year 2 it increased to 50%, indicating positive trend in terms of company's profitability and operating assets utilization efficiency.
To measure company's operating profitability and operating assets utilization efficiency the return on operating assets is being computed. Higher ratios indicate higher profitability, while ratios below 1 mean unefficient use of the operating assets.


At Orange County CyberKnife, you'll find a multitude of highly effective advanced radiation treatment tools. One of these is the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System which of clinically proven effective in treating Trigeminal Neuralgia (TM).
CyberKnife is a unique non-invasive treatment that relieves pain for patients who are suffering with TM. It beams high doses of radiation directly to the trigeminal nerve root with precise accuracy, minimizing harm to surrounding tissue while relieving the recurring stabbing pain of this facial nerve condition. And, it's administered by some of the most highly qualified and skilled radiation oncologists in the country.
The CyberKnife System combines a flexible, robotic arm that can easily move to hundreds of different angles, guiding the beams of radiation to the exact root of your trigeminal nerve. Orchestrating the movement of the arm is a high-tech imaging system that monitors any movement in real-time and adjusts the radiation to stay on-spot with your every movement, even as you breathe. With usually one short outpatient treatment, the radiation has accomplished its goal of reaching the nerve and, slowly, over the next few months, the nerve dies, eliminating or minimizing your pain. There is no other system that is as precise at delivering radiation as the CyberKnife.
Non-invasive. While other surgical treatment methods may relieve the pain of TM, CyberKnife requires no cutting and no anesthesia. This is helpful for those who are unable to undergo surgery with anesthesia as well as those who prefer not to undergo such an invasive procedure and time-consuming recovery.
Less Side Effects. The precision of CyberKnife allows the radiation to be focused on only its target – the root of the Trigeminal Nerve. This spares your healthy tissue from the high-dose radiation, substantially lowering the risk of side-effects.
Short Recovery Time. With surgery, you may be in the hospital recovering for days. CyberKnife treatment is given in our comfortable outpatient clinic in one pain-free treatment session.
More Comfortable. Other radiation treatments used on the head strap you into a metal frame that is bolted to a table for treatment. With the CyberKnife, you will be fitted for a flexible, comfortable mesh mask for treatment on our comfortable treatment couch.
Covered by Insurance. CyberKnife treatment is approved by Medicare and most insurance companies.
Effective in Reducing Pain. Studies have proven that CyberKnife can relieve and often eliminate the pain of TM in patients from 36 years old to 90.
About five in every 100,000 individuals is thought to suffer from trigeminal neuralgia. Don't suffer any longer. Contact our radiation experts now to find out how CyberKnife can effectively treat your TM. Reach out to us at (714) 962-7100 or use our convenient online appointment form to ask any questions you have or to make your first appointment. We look forward to relieving your recurring TM pain and move you toward a more comfortable life.


In "The Resurrection of Christ," Wallace outlines an argument against the watering down of gospel by denying the resurrection. Wallace points out that many modern "Christians" are trying too hard to fit the gospel truth into the modern world, due largely to pressures from the media and the dominant culture. A denial of anything that resembles the "supernatural" is a trend among academics and all who also deny the power of faith. Starting from this premise, Wallace engages the reader in a well-constructed and organized outline of why the resurrection is central to Christian doctrine. To guide the reader, Wallace organizes the argument using numbered points so that they are easy to follow. The argument is focused on the resurrection, as a specific topic of discussion. However, the resurrection is itself a broad and deep subject. "The Resurrection of Christ" is paradoxically a broad and focused argument.

Auctions July 14, 2020 July 14, 2020
After selling for a mere $56 years ago, this exotic Chinese vase was auctioned for a grand $9 million at Sotheby's
by Ekta Joshi
Sotheby's expert- Johan Bosch van Rosenthal recently discovered a rare masterpiece from an elderly woman's European residence who called him to assess her collection. Made specifically for China's Qianlong Emperor in the early 1700s, the item is a rare Chinese vase that was unearthed in a dusty and worn out form from her home full of pets.
Touted to be 'highly unusual', the vase boasts a unique design with a blue-and-white floral pattern visible through its lattice shell. Described by Sotheby's as a "technical tour-de-force," the exclusive urn is pear-shaped and bears a style of porcelain known as "yangcai," or "foreign colors," wherein artisans incorporate Western-style coloration and enamels into their craft.

Commenting on it, Sotheby's Asia President Nicolas Chow in a pre-sale press release said, "It is a miracle that this remarkably fragile vase has survived half a century in a house surrounded by countless pets." The long-forgotten Chinese vase, which was once sold at auction for merely $56, fetched over a whopping $ 9 million at the recently held Sotheby's sale.

Teddy Bear Hospital let Driscoll Children's Hospital patients become the doctor for a day to help them learn about medical procedures.
Patients at Driscoll's Children Hospital put on their gloves and stethoscopes as they became the doctors for the day at Teddy Bear Hospital.
And while the patients were learning themselves, the experience gave families a chance to learn as well.
Part of the Stripes Child Life Program, the event let children become more familiar with medical procedures and equipment doctors use during treatment. Children helped their teddy bear patients get their measurements, put in an IV for lab work, give an X-ray and more.
Jessica Escobedo was there with her sons Angel and Gael Cisneros. Four-year-old Angel was diagnosed with leukemia in March and the event helped his 5-year-old brother learn more about what he is going through.
"It helps them understand what's going on," Escobedo said. "It's good for siblings like Gael who doesn't always know what's going on."
Each station had a different medical practice with nurses showing the "doctors" what they would do on their patients. Angel, with his patient, a stuffed dog named Duke, learned how to inject an IV, take blood pressure and more.
Samuel Martinez, 9, has had three lumbar surgeries and is no stranger to medical procedures. But getting comfortable with them is a part of the process.
"It's good to learn about this stuff because if you wanna grow up you need to learn more," Martinez said. "It helps you be less afraid when you are going through it."
At Teddy Bear Hospital, children not only got their own stuffed animal to take home but were given toys donated by Disney and Slurpees from a truck outside.
Abby Youngblom, a child life specialist, talked about the benefits children get from learning about the hospital environment.
"Studies have shown that when kids come into the hospital, there is long-term effects when they aren't prepared or when don't really understand what's going on," Youngblom said. "So this is a great way for child life to use our skills to help educate them in a fun way so that they understand everything when they come into an experience like this."
While the learning event was a part of their back-to-school activities, the Teddy Bear Hospital let some give back.
Lindsey Leal, 12, had both of her kidneys removed earlier this year when one of the incision scars got infected. Forced to spend her summer in the hospital, her father donated pillows for the kids.
"I think it's good to give back and plus they're really good pillows. I have one and I wanted other people to have some too," Leal said.
Her mother, Palmira, said that spending all of your time in the hospital can get hard.
"They spend all their time here and it's not easy," Palmira Leal said. "Letting them have a pillow to make it a little bit easier is good for everyone. We're happy to give back."

Notice the hologram strip at the top and bottom of the band? In those strips, it should read Cuba Cohiba with an Indian head in between. Also, the Indi an head is a hologram. Inside of the Indian head is another head which you can see when you rotate the cigar.
The Cohiba name is in all caps and embossed in gold just like the old label. You can literally feel the name on the label this time around, though. The white dots are slightly different, but the same yellow color on the band has been used.
In addition, the Cohiba 1492 — referred to as the Siglo Series — from the Cohiba Siglo I to the Cohiba Siglo VI will also use the new bands.
Personally, I find the new band to be gorgeous and I feel that it complements the cigar beautifully. What are your thoughts on the change? Do you think it will help everyone better discern the fakes?

David Luiz: Everyone At Chelsea Believes In Maurizio Sarri
Posted By: benedictaon: February 15, 2019 In: SportsNo Comments
David Luiz says that Maurizio Sarri has the backing of the Chelsea dressing room amid rumours of discontent after recent high-profile away defeats.
The 31-year-old started in the 2-1 away win against Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday night, as the Blues got back to winning ways after a 6-0 drubbing away to Manchester City in the Premier League at the weekend.
The defeat was Chelsea's worst in 28 years and added to growing concern that Sarri is not getting his footballing ideas across to his squad.
Luiz is, however, convinced that the Blues still have a bright future under the Italian boss and that in various team meetings over recent days and weeks, no one has stood up to say they don't believe in him anymore.
"Yes, [we have an] amazing future," The Brazilian said of Chelsea under Sarri. "We have had many meetings already asking that if someone doesn't believe, they can say. Nobody said anything. It's because everyone believes.
"The most important thing is for us to keep our philosophy, to believe in what we are doing. We did that against Malmo; we were trying to play from the beginning to the end.
"We are doing what he wants us to do and we are trying to improve. It is part of the process. We lost against maybe the best team in the world in Manchester City. They were better than us from the beginning to the end. We lost a few matches because it is part of the process.
"The teams that are at the top of the table now are ones with managers who have been there for more than three years. There is a big difference when you have already understood everything; it is much easier to play football. I think we are in the right way to still improve and become a fantastic team.
"This is normal. I have played in big clubs for many, many years. When you win it is good, but when you lose nobody is going to be happy, and the pressure is going to be there. We are working together and we work for them [the fans].
"We will try to make them happy and we will do everything we can to try to make them happy. I think we have to be positive and think about what we can do now because the past is the past – we cannot change it. We have to do things that we can do now."
Malmo's aggressive and hard-working approach caused Chelsea problems in the last-32 first leg clash, but the result looks a difficult one for the Swedes to overturn in the second leg next week.
Ross Barkley opened the scoring before Olivier Giroud added a second with a backheeled finish and, despite Anders Christiansen scoring late on after a piece of sloppy play at the back, Luiz is still happy with the result.
"Yes it was important, to put our minds on our goals for the season," Luiz added. "We did a great game against a difficult team and it is never easy to play here. It was a great atmosphere. The other team were great physically and tactically.
"They fought to the end but we controlled the game. We could have scored more but they were dangerous sometimes. We still won and that is what we came for. It is never good to concede a goal; it is part of our job not to concede just as it is part of our job to score.
"It was still a positive night because we won, but it will be tough at Stamford Bridge."
Manchester United are Chelsea's next opponents in the FA Cup on Monday, with Tottenham in the league and Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final also on the fixture list in February.
Chelsea dropped below United in the Premier League after the 6-0 defeat to Man City, and Luiz is anticipating a difficult test on Monday night.
"Even before [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over] they were a great team, with a great manager," the Brazilian said.
"[Jose] Mourinho tried to do everything for the best of Manchester United but they decided to change. Solskjaer has come in and he is doing amazing. He is a great coach but he also has great players."

Kampania w Holenderskich Indiach Wschodnich – podbój Holenderskich Indii Wschodnich (dzisiejsza Indonezja) przez siły Imperium Japonii w pierwszym etapie wojny na Pacyfiku w latach 1941–1942, podczas II wojny światowej. Siły aliantów bezskutecznie próbowały bronić wysp. Holenderskie Indie Wschodnie były jednym z pierwszych celów Japończyków ze względu na ich bogate złoża ropy naftowej, które mogły stać się istotnym zasobem podczas wojny. Kampania, a następnie trwająca trzy i pół roku okupacja japońska były również ważnym czynnikiem wyznaczającym koniec holenderskich rządów kolonialnych w regionie.

Tło sytuacyjne
Holenderskie Indie Wschodnie były jednym z głównych celów Japonii w momencie jej przystąpienia do wojny na pełną skalę, ponieważ ten region posiadał obfite cenne zasoby, z których najważniejsze były plantacje kauczuku i pola naftowe; kolonia ta była czwartym co do wielkości eksporterem ropy naftowej na świecie, za USA, Iranem i Rumunią. Ropa uczyniła wyspy niezwykle ważnymi dla planów zaopatrzeniowych Cesarskiej Armii Japońskiej, dlatego starała się ona zabezpieczyć swoje dostawy. Wysłano cztery lotniskowce i jeden lekki lotniskowiec wraz z czterema szybkimi pancernikami klasy Kongō, 13 ciężkich krążowników oraz wiele lekkich krążowników i niszczycieli, aby wesprzeć ich lądowanie piechoty z morza, a także przeprowadzać naloty na miasta, jednostki pływające i transportowce aliantów w obszarze Holenderskich Indii Wschodnich, jak i wokół Oceanu Indyjskiego.

Dostęp do ropy był jednym z głównych ogniw japońskiego wysiłku wojennego, ponieważ Wyspy Japońskie nie posiadają rodzimego źródła tego surowca, w 1941 r. Japończycy nie mogli sami wyprodukować ilości ropy wystarczającej do tego, aby zaspokoić choćby 10% swoich potrzeb, nawet przy pozyskiwaniu ropy z łupków wydobywanych w Mandżurii z wykorzystaniem procesu Fushun. Japonia szybko straciła 93 proc. istniejących zapasów ropy po tym, jak prezydent Franklin Delano Roosevelt wydał 26 lipca 1941 r. dekret, który zamroził wszystkie japońskie aktywa w USA i nałożył embargo na cały eksport ropy do Japonii. Ponadto rząd holenderski na uchodźstwie, za namową aliantów i przy wsparciu królowej Wilhelminy, zerwał traktat gospodarczy z Japonią i w sierpniu również wprowadził embargo. Japońskie rezerwy wojskowe i gospodarcze obejmowały tylko półtora roku normalnego zużycia ropy. Ponieważ obawiano się wypowiedzenia wojny przez Amerykanów, gdyby Japonia zajęła Holenderskie Indie Wschodnie, Cesarska Marynarka Wojenna planowała wcześniej wyeliminować amerykańską Flotę Pacyfiku, umożliwiając swojej armii przejęcie wysp; doprowadziło to do ataku na Pearl Harbor 7 grudnia 1941 r. .

Wypowiedzenie wojny
Pod koniec listopada rząd holenderski w Indiach Wschodnich podlegający rządowi holenderskiemu na uchodźstwie (już będącemu w stanie wojny z Japonią, sojusznikiem Niemców w Europie) rozpoczął przygotowania do walki z Japończykami: okręty Królewskiej Holenderskiej Marynarki Wojennej zostały wysłane w morze, a Królewskie Holenderskie Siły Powietrzne postawiono w stan najwyższej gotowości. 4 grudnia, trzy dni po podjęciu decyzji o prowadzeniu wojny przeciwko USA, Wielkiej Brytanii i Holandii, rząd japoński postanowił zmodyfikować swoje plany i "traktować Holandię jako quasi wroga, dopóki nie dojdzie do konfrontacji militarnej". Uczyniono to w nadziei, że Holendrzy nie zniszczą instalacji naftowych,  dopóki Japończycy nie będą gotowi do inwazji. Jednak 8 grudnia 1941 r. w publicznym oświadczeniu Holandia wypowiedziała wojnę Japonii. Do godziny 7:00 w dniu ataku rząd Holenderskich Indii Wschodnich ostrzegł kapitanów statków handlowych, aby udali się do najbliższego portu. O tej godzinie generalny gubernator publicznie ogłosił przez radio, że Holandia "przyjmuje wyzwanie i podnosi broń przeciwko Imperium Japońskiemu". Instrukcje zostały przesłane do ambasady w Tokio o 2:30 w nocy, nawet zanim wiadomość o ataku na Pearl Harbor dotarła do holenderskiego rządu w Londynie o 4:00 rano. Instrukcje otrzymano dopiero wieczorem następnego dnia, a wypowiedzenie wojny zostało ostatecznie przekazane japońskiemu ministrowi spraw zagranicznych Shigenori Tōgō przez holenderskiego ambasadora J. C. Pabsta, rano 10 grudnia. Ambasador Szwecji zgodził się zająć holenderskimi interesami przez czas trwania konfliktu.

Deklaracja holenderska nie zmieniła japońskiej decyzji, a zwrotne wypowiedzenie wojny Holandii przez Japonię nastąpiło dopiero 11 stycznia 1942 r. Kiedy w 1946 r. Japonia została oskarżona o prowadzenie "wojny najeźdźczej" przed Międzynarodowym Trybunałem Wojskowym dla Dalekiego Wschodu, argumentowano, że jej stosunek do Holandii był inny, ponieważ Holendrzy wypowiedzieli wojnę jako pierwsi. Trybunał odrzucił to tłumaczenie, uzasadniając decyzję tym, że jedynym zamiarem Japończyków było "danie Holendrom mniej czasu na zniszczenie szybów naftowych". Stwierdzono, że Holandia wypowiedziała wojnę w obronie własnej.

Kampania
Gen. Hisaichi Terauchi, dowódca Południowej Ekspedycyjnej Grupy Armii, rozpoczął kampanię od wysłania 16 Armii pod dowództwem gen. Hitoshi Imamury w celu zaatakowania wyspy Borneo. 17 grudnia siły japońskie z powodzeniem wylądowały nw pobliżu Miri, centrum produkcji ropy w północnym Sarawaku, przy wsparciu okrętów wojennych, lotniskowca, trzech krążowników i czterech niszczycieli.

Początkowo siły japońskie rozpoczęły naloty na kluczowe obszary i zyskały przewagę w powietrzu. Po nalotach wysadzono desanty morskie w kilku lokalizacjach w pobliżu lotnisk i innych ważnych punktów w okolicy. Oprócz lądowań w Miri, japońskie siły dokonały desantów w Seria, Kuching, Jesselton i Sandakan pomiędzy 15 grudnia 1941 r. a 19 stycznia 1942 r. Po zdobyciu tych głównych celów na Borneo, japońskie siły zaplanowały potrójny atak na południe, trzema siłami o nazwie Siła Wschodnia, Siła Centralna i Siła Zachodnia. Celem tego ataku było przejęcie głównych zasobów ropy naftowej w Holenderskich Indiach Wschodnich. Siła Wschodnia miała przejść od Jolo i Davao oraz ruszyć, aby zająć wyspy Celebes, Amboinę i Timor, jednocześnie chroniąc flankę Siły Centralnej. Siła Centralna miała przejąć pola naftowe i lotniska w rejonie Tarakan i Balikpapan. Obie te siły miały wspierać Siłę Zachodnią, które otrzymała zadanie zdobycia rafinerii ropy naftowej i lotnisk w Palembang. Siły japońskie rozpoczęły atak 11 stycznia i wylądowały na Tarakanie.

Aby koordynować walkę przeciwko Japończykom sił amerykańskich, brytyjskich, holenderskich i australijskich, połączono wszystkie dostępne siły lądowe i morskie pod jednym wspólnym dowództwem ABDA. Dowództwo ta zostało powołane 15 stycznia 1942 r., a na jego czele stanął brytyjski feldmarsz. Archibald Wavell. Struktura dowodzenia obejmowała gen. United States Army Air Forces George'a Bretta jako zastępcę dowódcy oraz brytyjskiego generała Henry'ego Roydsa Pownalla jako szefa sztabu; pod nimi służyli: amerykański admirał Thomas Charles Hart jako dowódca sił morskich, holenderski generał Hein ter Poorten jako dowódca sił lądowych oraz brytyjski dowódca lotniczy, gen. Richard Peirse jako dowódca sił powietrznych. Chociaż siły zostały połączone, to miały różne priorytety: Brytyjczycy uważali, że obrona terytorium Singapuru i wschodnich wejść na Ocean Indyjski (droga do Cejlonu Brytyjskiego oraz Indii Brytyjskich) jest najważniejsza, Amerykanie i Australijczycy nie chcieli całkowitej penetracji Azji Południowo-Wschodniej, która pozbawiłaby ich baz niezbędnych do każdej poważnej kontrofensywy. Jedynie Holendrzy uznawali Jawę i Sumatrę, "drugą ojczyznę, w której handlowali i mieszkali przez ponad trzy stulecia", za najważniejsze miejsce do obrony.

Połączone siły nie były w stanie powstrzymać ani nawet spowolnić Japończyków z powodu ich znacznej przewagi liczebnej; aby stawić czoła atakującym japońskim siłom morskim ABDA mogła wykorzystać luźny zbiór jednostek pływających zebranych ze wszystkich dostępnych formacji, w tym z rozbitej amerykańskiej Floty Azjatyckiej (wycofanej po upadku Filipin), kilku brytyjskich i australijskich okrętów oraz holenderskich jednostek, które wcześniej stacjonowały w Indiach Wschodnich. Główne siły obejmowały dwa okręty-bazy wodnosamolotów, (USS "Langley" i USS "Childs"), dwa ciężkie krążowniki (USS "Houston" i HMS "Exeter"), siedem lekkich krążowników (HNLMS "De Ruyter", HNLMS "Java" i HNLMS "Tromp", USS "Marblehead" i USS "Boise" – chociaż ten ostatni został zmuszony do opuszczenia terenu po uderzeniu w ławicę 21 stycznia – HMAS "Hobart" i HMAS "Perth"), 22 niszczyciele oraz być może ich największą siłę: 25 amerykańskich i 16 holenderskich okrętów podwodnych. Opierając się na Jawie, okręty te musiały podjąć walkę z Siłą Centralną i Siłą Zachodnią trzyczęściowego japońskiego ataku; na okręty bojowe Siły Centralnej składały się lekki lotniskowiec "Ryūjō", nosiciele wodnosamolotów "Sanyo Maru" i "Sanuki Maru", trzy lekkie krążowniki i 16 niszczycieli, podczas gdy Siła Zachodnia dysponowała pięcioma ciężkimi krążownikami i siedmioma niszczycielami. Ponadto cztery lotniskowce floty japońskiej ("Akagi", "Kaga", "Hiryū" i "Sōryū") oraz cztery pancerniki typu Kongō były w teatrze operacji.

Siły japońskie używały lotnisko na Tarakanie jako główną bazę lotniczą do 17 stycznia, dopóki Balikpapan nie zostało zdobyte tydzień później. Jednak holenderskie garnizony zniszczyły pola naftowe, zanim zostały pokonane przez Japończyków. Kilka japońskich okrętów zostało zniszczonych lub uszkodzonych w wyniku kontrataków morskich i powietrznych sił alianckich, jednak broniące się na lądzie holenderskie bataliony zostały pokonane przez siły japońskie. Do 28 stycznia Japończycy przejęli kontrolę nad lotniskami w Balikpapan, a ich samoloty operowały stamtąd od tej pory. Do końca stycznia siły japońskie zdobyły części wysp Celebes i holenderskiego Borneo. W lutym Japończycy wylądowali na Sumatrze i sprowokowali miejscową ludność indonezyjską do powstania przecierko Holendrom w Acehu.

Większość elementów morskich sił Sprzymierzonych została zniszczona w bitwach na Morzu Jawajskim i w Cieśninie Sundajskiej. jedynym amerykańskim okrętem większym niż niszczyciel, który przetrwał te starcia, był stary krążownik USS Marblehead. Ponadto siły lądowe na wyspach zostały szybko pokonane, a większość poważnego oporu pokonano w ciągu dwóch miesięcy od pierwszych desantów, chociaż kampania partyzancka na Timorze była z powodzeniem prowadzona  jeszcze przez pewien czas. ABDA zostało rozwiązane około godz. 1:00 1 marca, niecałe dwa miesiące po powstaniu, przez adm. Conrada Emila Lamberta Helfricha.

9 marca holenderski dowódca poddał się wraz z generalnym gubernatorem Jonkheerem A.W.L. Tjarda van Starkenborgh Stachouwerem.

Operacje alianckie w Indonezji (z wyjątkiem Sumatry) były później kontrolowane przez SWPA pod dowództwem gen. Douglasa MacArthura.

Następstwa
Siły alianckie nie próbowały odzyskać Jawy, Sumatry, Timoru ani Bali podczas trwania działań wojennych. Siły japońskie na tych wyspach poddały się po zakończeniu II wojny światowej. Większość japońskiego personelu wojskowego i kierowników administracji cywilnej została repatriowana do Japonii po wojnie, z wyjątkiem kilkuset, których zatrzymano w związku z podejrzeniem o popełnienie zbrodni wojennych, za które niektórzy z nich zostali później postawieni przed sądem. Około 1 tys. japońskich żołnierzy opuściło swoje jednostki i zasymilowało się z lokalnymi społecznościami. Wielu z tych żołnierzy udzieliło później pomocy Indonezyjskim Siłom Republikańskim podczas indonezyjskiej rewolucji narodowej.

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a challenge of epidemic proportions. It is one of the most pervasive and widespread human rights violations in the world, and has grave consequences for health and development.
Stemming from persistent gender inequalities, GBV manifests itself in various forms of physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse and discrimination, including intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, intimidation and threats of violence, human trafficking, and harmful traditional practices such as early marriage and female genital cutting. While GBV predominantly affects women and girls, it also affects boys, men, and sexual minorities.
The harm caused by GBV extends far beyond the physical injuries inflicted. GBV is linked to a wide range of long-term physical and mental health problems. It helps fuels the spread of HIV, and women who have experienced violence are up to three times more likely to be infected with HIV than those who have not.[1] Fear of GBV may also keep people from accessing family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services, thereby increasing the risk of unintended pregnancy. High rates of GBV during pregnancy endanger the health of both mother and child and contribute to maternal and child mortality. GBV also undermines progress toward broader development goals, reducing women's ability to take an active role in social and economic development and inflicting costs in the form of higher health expenditures and lost educational achievement and productivity.[2]
The Health Policy Project (HPP) works with a broad range of stakeholders to address the linkages between GBV, HIV, maternal health, and FP/RH. Our partners include male and female advocates, civil society organizations, policymakers, and community and religious leaders. We
Promote the adoption of supportive policies to address GBV
Facilitate the integration of GBV strategies into government and civil society programs and plans
Raise awareness of the connection between GBV and other key health priorities
Encourage civil society engagement on GBV issues
Strengthen key capacities, such as social participation, coalition building, advocacy, and policy monitoring to enhance government and civil society responses to GBV
Work to reduce the occurrence of GBV in facility-based maternal care
Strengthening Capacity to Integrate GBV Strategies into HIV Policies and Programs
HPP works to strengthen the capacity of host-country stakeholders, including civil society organizations and local and national government bodies, to incorporate GBV and gender strategies into their HIV programs. These efforts include raising stakeholders' awareness of linkages between GBV and HIV, integrating GBV and gender into HIV prevention and orphans and vulnerable children programs, mapping community services to strengthen GBV referral networks, and addressing the unique GBV vulnerabilities of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
Promoting Respectful Maternity Care
While many interventions aim to improve access to skilled birth care, less attention has been focused on the quality of such care. Women often encounter widespread disrespect and abuse in facility-based maternity care. HPP is partnering with the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood to promote respectful maternity care for all women during pregnancy, childbirth, and in the time after birth.

Our teeth are the strongest part of our body because of the outer layer called enamel. However, it does not mean that they are vulnerable to damage. Unlike our bones, teeth are incapable of self-repair and would always require dental care and proper protection.
When talking about oral protection, it includes not only oral hygiene but also mouthguards to prevent external or tooth-on-tooth damage from impacts.
When Do You Need a Mouth Guard?
If you frequently engaged in active or physical activities such in collision and contact sports, mouth guard is a must. Also called mouth protectors, mouth guards can help minimize injuries to the lips, jaw, tongue and risk of broken teeth.For patients with bruxism or teeth grinding, having a mouth guard can help prevent damage from their teeth. It cushions the teeth to prevent wear and tear.
Not only adults who engage in extreme sports are recommended to use mouth guards, children are also advised to wear mouth protectors. Since children are physically active, they also engaged in sports and even in child's play, which includes slightly physical games.
There are few types of mouth guards, among them custom-fitted mouth guards are the best and most recommended be dentists. While other products are preformed, custom-made mouth protectors will be individually made for you by your dentist. It will be more comfortable to wear with fewer restrictions such as clearer speech.
To talk about getting a custom-made dental mouth guard near Doral, Florida, call Dr. Sonia Olivares at 305-620-8272. Schedule your consultation now and see what is best for you.

Facebook for Windows 8.1 Hands-On: Missing Key Features
By Anna Attkisson published 17 October 13
It took a while, but a Facebook app has finally come to Windows 8 PCs and tablets. Coinciding with the release of Windows 8.1, device owners can now download the app from Windows Store. The app does a lot of what you'd expect, but the design could be better optimized and there's some missing features.
Once we found the official app (don't be fooled by the abundance of third-party alternatives), installing Facebook was easy and quick, as was logging into our account. Note that you must have upgraded to Windows 8.1 for the app to install. Once it does you'll get a Live Tile on your home screen that refreshes with your friends' status updates.
MORE: Top 25 Windows 8 Apps
The Windows app mirrors the look and feel of the mobile app for Android and iOS, except that you do not need to swipe in from the left or right to bring up your available friends or navigation bar. We imagine this is due to the fact that swiping in from the left or right switches apps or launches the Charms menu.
The viewing experience in the Facebook app depends on the resolution of your display. For example, text was smaller and harder to read on the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus (3200 x 1800 pixels), while it looked normal on the lower-res Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14 (1366 x 768 pixels). We would have preferred if the app scale to match the resolution of your LCD. We actually preferred going to Facebook.com on the Samsung notebook and logging in that way to interact with our page because the text was larger.
Just as you'd expect from an official Facebook app, you can update your status, upload a photo or check in, along the top of the screen. Tapping any of these option slides a box into view from the right side.
Down the left side is your main navigation pane, but there's no section for apps. Android and iOS versions of Facebook both offer access to your games and other apps, and you can access them through the Web version of Facebook, so it's unclear why they were omitted here. Other features that do not appear on the left pane in Windows include Pokes, the ability to create a page, friend groups, account and privacy settings, and the terms and policies of the social networking giant.
On the right side is the chat panel that shows you who's available to talk via little green dots. This is just as you'd find it on Android or iOS. Just above this panel is the friend request, inbox and notification globe.

Snapping
You can snap Facebook to the side of your screen in Windows 8.1, which causes the side panels to disappear while your read your Newsfeed. We liked that we could resize the window using the three dots in the black bar between the windows.
We're glad that there's finally an official Facebook app in the Windows Store, but we wish we could access our Facebook games and apps and tweak our privacy settings. We also wish that the app scaled better for higher-resolution displays. This is definitely a work in progress.

Here's an animal clinic funny sign full of puns. Must be a great place to work. This image though looks like it has been photoshopped, the lettering added, but that could also just be the lighting, or maybe it was touched up. Whatever. I think if you're going to take the gamble on a funny sign attracting new customers that weak-ish puns may not be worth the trouble, but what do I know, I'm just the internet typing guy. Anyway, good sign, provokes a giggle or titter (I just wanted to say titter) and makes the place memorable to the casual passer by.


About pioneer woman in journalism Nellie Bly, her biography and place in history, examples of her methods.
It wasn't her real name, of course. But in the heyday of yellow journalism and the penny press--when an American newspaper publisher could plausibly promote war between his country and Spain to boost circulation--a girl reporter needed a good, catchy nom de plume.
The future "Queen of the Sob Sisters" was born Elizabeth Cochrane in a small Pennsylvania mill town, and came to Pittsburgh as a teen-ager wanting to be a writer. She sprang from obscurity with a stinging rebuke to an editorial in the Pittsburgh Dispatch titled, "What Girls Are Good For." In spite of themselves, the editors were impressed by the girl's spirit. They offered her a job.
Fine, she said, and proposed a series of articles on divorce as her 1st contribution. The editors, for all their external toughness, were conventional Victorians. They doubted that this innocent child could write with the maturity and tact such a delicate subject demanded. But under the by-line "Nellie Bly" she turned out stories spiced with the personal tales she heard from the older women she shared living quarters with in the boardinghouse district. Her writing rang true. It was sharp and controversial. Best of all, it sold newspapers.
Nellie's 1st effort was followed by exposes of conditions in Pittsburgh's slums, its sweatshops, and its jails. Under pressure from advertisers the Dispatch encouraged Nellie to take a vacation. She went to Mexico. Soon the young muckraker was pouring forth lurid stories of decadence, debaucheries, and official corruption South of the Border. The Mexican authorities asked her to leave. She did, but managed to get a suitcase full of notes out with her, explaining to railroad agents that it contained ladies "unmentionables."
Pittsburgh was now too tame for Nell. She went to New York where she promised Joseph Pulitzer a scoop on conditions at the city's insane asylum on Blackwell's Island if he would put her on the staff of the New York World. Soon she was practicing wild shrieks and facial grimaces in front of her mirror. She showed up without identification at a local rooming house, threw a fit at mealtime and was on her way to Bellevue within 24 hours. She returned from Blackwell's Island 10 days later with stories of "a human rat hole," of brutal nurses, inedible food, and stifling sanitary conditions. Her stories electrified the nation, empaneled a grand jury, and brought considerable reform. They also made Nellie Bly a celebrity.
Next she went underground as an immigrant girl and came up with an expose of fraudulent employment agencies. Nellie framed herself on a theft charge and landed in prison. The result was another scoop for the World, this time with tales of indignities, leering jailhouse guards, and a Tammany henchman who offered to buy her freedom. Her revelations forced the segregation of male and female prisoners and placed police matrons in charge of frisking the ladies.


There are many users who like to have a smartphone that features 4000-5000 mAh battery. A smartphone with 3000 mAh battery is now normal and would hardly last a day. So, here we are going to look at the top 5 best smartphones under 15000 with 5000 mAh battery.
After launching the Moto G5 Plus, Lenovo launched a couple of low-budget smartphones and both of them had a big battery. At the number 5 is the Motorola Moto E4 Plus.
The device features a 5.5-inch HD display; however, the screen quality isn't that great. When it comes to hardware configuration, the Moto E4 Plus isn't that powerful either as it features a MediaTek-MT6737 quad-core processor coupled with 3 Gigs of RAM.
As far as multitasking is concerned, the Moto E4 Plus offers a fluid performance but fails to shine when it comes to gaming.
The Moto E4 Plus may not shine in the gaming department, but you be delighted to know that the device is running on Android v 7.1.1 (Nougat) and will also be getting the Android Oreo update.
At the back, you get a mammoth 5000 mAh battery which can easily give you 2-3 days of backup. Furthermore, Lenovo is also supplying a Turbocharger which lets you charge the device within 90-120 minutes.
If you are looking for the best smartphones under 15000 with 5000 mAh battery, then please don't forget to give a look at the Moto E4 Plus.

That's my code.  I don't understand why the button isn't working with the function.  It has the closed paratheses and the () at the end of the function.  I already tried to put the function idk between '' and "", so that doesn't change the output.  When I run it, the button will appear, but when I click the button, nothing happens.

A: You have to add (). Also, you should use "" and it's onclick not onCLick

Specialisation will be PE Buzzword in 2008
January 2008 | Rana Rosen, Livemint.com
Numbers are beginning to lose their relevance in the frenetically paced Indian private equity (PE) market.
It is now a given that investments in this market will grow manifold each year and this is likely to continue for the next three to five years, at least.
That investor confidence is only growing stronger is evident not just from the entry of some of the world's largest PE firms in 2007 – Providence Equity Partners Inc and Apax Partners – but also from the increasing diversification of fund sources.
The US now accounts for about half of the funds flowing in while West Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe are also now significant players.
As the market gets more and more crowded, PE firms find themselves faced with one universal challenge – differentiation of investment strategies.
According to informal industry estimates, there are some 500 PE firms actively investing or preparing to invest in India today. And, this does not include early-stage venture capital firms, who would number less than 30.
Between January and 15 December, PE and venture capital investments (completed and announced) in India stood at US$17.14 billion (Rs67,532 crore) against US$7.8 billion in 2006, according to accounting and business advisory firm Grant Thornton India. Other estimates, mainly in-house research by PE firms that did not want to be named, put total investments in 2007 at more than US$14 billion.
Singapore-headquartered Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd announced deals worth more than US$2 billion in 2007 to emerge as the year's top deal maker in terms of value. This does not include co-investment deals, including the US$1 billion deal it announced in the last week of December in Bharti Infratel Ltd, alongside Goldman Sachs and other investors. This, incidentally, was Temasek's second deal with Bharti last year – it earlier picked up a 4.99% stake in Bharti Airtel Ltd for US$1.9 billion. For Temasek, 2007 goes down as a defining year, one which marks the coming of age of the Singapore government-owned firm as a credible dealmaker in the Indian PE market.
Much of the credit for Temasek's run here last year goes to India chief Manish Kejriwal, a former McKinsey and Co executive who took charge in 2004.
Kejriwal's role within Temasek is not limited to India, as demonstrated by Temasek's recent investment in Merrill Lynch on 28 December. As head of Temasek's Singapore-based banking practice, in addition to his India role, Kejriwal was part of a team that closed the Merrill transaction.
As firms ready for a new investment season in 2008, the overall bullishness is tempered by expectations of intense competition.
Sliced Market
The market is sliced between mega global firms, which command more than US$10 billion each in capital under management, and mid-sized firms that sometimes manage less than US$1 billion.
Firms such as Blackstone Group LLC, The Carlyle Group LLC, General Atlantic LLC, ChrysCapital Investment Advisors and ICICI Venture Funds Management Co, as well as recent entrants such as Apax and Providence, have the appetite for deals upward of US$500 million in India.
Most of these firms will be looking to push through large control deals, such as Blackstone's acquisition of an 80% stake in Intelenet Global Services Pvt Ltd, or take significant minority stakes in mid-sized companies.
Players in this segment will compete primarily with respect to their focus on similar sectors-infrastructure, banking and financial services, media and entertainment, telecom and real estate.
However, the competition, and the battle to differentiate, will be most intense in the space occupied by mid-sized firms. Out of the 500 firms, at least 400 are in this segment.
Deal sizes pursued by such firms would typically be in the US$50-150 million range. Their sectors or focus would be similar to the larger firms, with some variations.
Take Sage Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd managing director Manish Kanchan's response to a suggestion from his team to look at the power sector:
"Great, there are 1,000 people like us looking at power," he says. "So, what are we going to do out there?"
The answer, going by the investment themes articulated by some of the firms Mint spoke to, seems to be to narrow down their focus and specialise.
So, for instance, New York-based Karali Capital Investments LLC will enter in 2008 with a US$250 million fund specifically focused on logistics and supply chain. Sage Capital's fund will focus on distressed assets.
Askar Capital entered at the end of 2007 with a broad approach, but has partnered with infrastructure company SKIL Infrastructure Ltd.
Some of the impetus to differentiate is also being driven by limited partners (institutions that invest in PE firms).
"I heard the same themes, same ideas and in some cases the same companies," said Lindel Eakman, managing director of private markets group for University of Texas Investment Management Co at last year's annual Asian Private Equity and Venture Forum in Mumbai.

When your 13 year old son asks you to make that recipe with kale in it you know you have done something right! Kale has become the "it" food but I know that I was intimidated by it at first. As I cook with it more and more I find that kale is in fact quite easy to use and delicious. Delicious enough that even a 13 year old requests it!
What is it? Kale is a headless cruciferous vegetable. It can be curly or flat and range in color from green to purple. It flourishes in the colder months and can often be found at winter markets.
Health Benefits: Kale is low in calories and high in fiber, iron, antioxidants, Calcium and vitamins K, A and C. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids and contains more calcium than milk. All of these properties allow kale to boost DNA repair, block cancer cell growth, slow cognitive decline and prevent heart disease.
Storage: Kale can be stored unwashed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. Kale can be stored in the freezer for 10-12 months. The kale must first be washed, blanched (plunged into boiling water for 2-3 minutes then chilled in ice water) drained and packed into freezer bags.
Uses: Kale can be sautéed, eaten raw, baked for kale chips, substituted for any leafy green in recipes or used for juicing or in a smoothie. The recipe that is so loved by my son is Garbanzo Beans and Greens found at http://www.cookinglight.com/food/in-season/kale-recipes/garbanzo-beans-greens. Enjoy your Kale knowing that you are doing your body a favor with each bite!
