Nobody likes to hear the word "tumor," but the fact of the matter is, they are very common. When it comes to spinal tumors, there are two main types. The first is typically benign and forms from inside the spinal tissue. The second type is usually cancerous and metastasizes from another part of the body. The size and location of the spinal tumor will affect the level of pain you experience, as well as the possibility for other symptoms.
In addition to these symptoms, cancerous spinal tumors may also cause loss of appetite and associated weight loss, nausea and/or vomiting, and fever or chills. If you experience any of these symptoms you should contact your doctor immediately and seek a consultation with a spinal specialist like Jersey Spine Associates.
The first step in diagnosing a spinal tumor is to have a comprehensive medical history and physical exam. When you go to Jersey Spinal Associates for your consultation we will conduct a thorough exam and history, as well as any additional tests that may be necessary to make a complete diagnosis. We will work quickly and efficiently to diagnose the underlying cause of your symptoms, and to determine whether the tumor is benign or cancerous.
No matter what the results of the test are, we will treat your spinal tumor to the best of our knowledge and ability to ensure a complete recovery. Once you receive your diagnosis and prognosis, Dr. Ponnappan will review with you your options for treatment and, together, the two of you will decide on the proper course of action. We will keep you fully informed every step of the way so you don't have to worry about being kept out of the loop—the final decision-making power is yours when it comes to choosing a treatment.
Dealing with a spinal tumor can be very scary, especially if you do not know whether it is benign or cancerous. When you choose Jersey Spine Associates to perform the necessary tests and procedures to diagnose your tumor, you can rest easy that you are working with the best in the business. Not only do we have many years of experience in the industry, but we also have one of the top spinal surgeons in southern New Jersey, Dr. Ponnappan.


Initially introduced in China back in July, the Nokia X5 was later made available across the globe under a different name – Nokia 5.1 Plus. Now HMD Global, the Finnish company behind Nokia smartphones, announced two new Nokia 5.1 Plus variants will be launched on the market in just a few days.
The new Nokia 5.1 Plus phones will pack more memory than the original model, which comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Starting February 7, the enhanced Nokia 5.1 Plus models will be available for purchase online, while brick and mortar stores will get them on February 12, but only in India for now.
The cheapest of the two will feature 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, and it will sell for around $200, while the expensive one will come with 6GB RAM and 64GB internal memory, but it will cost $230.
We expect these prices to be higher in Europe due to VAT and other taxes, but not by much. Aside from the amount of memory, there are no other differences between the base Nokia 5.1 Plus model and the new ones.
With those prices, its now priced equal to nokia 6.1 plus which makes no sense at all.
Honestly, a lot of the decisions Nokia has been making recently doesn't make any sense.
Those decisions have led HMD to be #9 on the global smartphone list. #10 in the tough to crack region of China, a top 5 brand in Europe, and the fastest growing smartphone OEM in the last two quarters. I'd say their decisions have been very beneficial for them and make a lot of sense.
Short term gains from a short-term strategy isn't sustainable. Just because they are top in a few lists, all credibility withstanding, doesn't mean that they are exempt from criticism and from overexposure. Just look at LG and HTC.
Those gains were over the course of two years, and they are still growing. Now they've adapted said strategy to allow for gains in markets that they have little exposure in, like the U.S. They are in the global smartphone top 10. Just because you may not like the fact that they are doing well, which is all credible and verifiable facts, doesn't mean that their methods warrant criticism, especially since their strategy has yielded extremely positive results.
Two years is short term in this case. Just because their strategy is working now doesn't mean that they are exempt from making mistakes or criticism from baffling decisions. I understand that you want to give them a free pass and all.
Two years and counting. HMD has also adjusted their strategy, as I mentioned. The facts are in their favor, but I do know that you want to find any reason to tear HMD down, even when there currently are none.
I'm having a hard time understanding why Nokia doesn't just streamline their phone releases. This just makes things more complicated imo. And I don't get why OEMs can't just do this from the start. Stop with the fragmented releases when it comes to storage differences in devices.
I agree, they make so many low end phones which are just not usable. The nokia 1 has a 480 display, 1gb of ram and 8gb of storage, the Nokia 3 is not much better. The Nokia 7.1, Nokia 7 plus sorroco and the Nokia 8 are their best efforts so far.
They wouldn't be usable for whom? Low end Android smartphones sell much more than high end or even midrange ones. People across the globe use them on a consistent basis, and are happy with them, or they wouldn't sell as much as they do. Not everyone has the means to purchase something better, especially in markets that are not as financially well off as others, and these low end smartphones are also known for their endurance and longevity, which is much more of a necessity than better specs due to the conditions of these regions.
I agree. 8GB of storage with a gig of RAM is unacceptable in 2019. That's ridiculously low even for food stamp phone standards. I definitely think the 7 Plus is a great phone that I wish came to the US with "proper" band support.
It's not unacceptable if priced right for the markets that they are in. Whether you choose to accept it or not, low end smartphones like that do serve a purpose.
It is if it's 2019. Just because it's a foodstamp phone doesn't mean that it has to be limited to paltry storage and RAM. Maybe you should stop trying to be so aggressive about it.
The year has nothing to do with the fact that it's an ultra low end smartphone and it won't have the bells and whistles. It has the storage that it has to keep the cost down. That's obvious. Maybe YOU shouldn't be so aggressive about wanting to complain for the sake of complaining.
While some seem to have a problem understanding why OEM's like HMD and others have staggered releases of smartphones with different storage options, it's pretty obvious to me: regional demand. Some regions like China have consumers that are fine with lesser storage options, while in India, the higher storage options are what seems to be what consumers demand there. The other reason is,of course, the financial reasons. Businesses pretty much know if they can release various variants of the same smartphone in certain regions to increase their profits. It's obvious that consumers in these regions are going to buy them, which is why they do it. As long as there is money to be made and the actual consumers are willing to buy it, OEM's are going to do it. Most of the consumers in the market for these smartphones will have no complaints about this tactic, while those that have no intention of buying them in the first place will complain for the sake of complaining.
India and China aren't the only markets that use smartphones btw. You keep comparing strategies to those markets and that doesn't really make sense when Nokia has markets in other countries as well like the UK and a few other European countries. Last time I checked, those weren't developing countries. You can't apply that example to every scenario.
Nowhere did I imply nor state that they are the only markets that use smartphones. Do not try and incorrectly say otherwise. Those markets were used as an example because HMD usually releases their smartphones in those markets first. That's a verifiable fact, so it does make sense, whether you understand it or not. Those are the #'s 1 and 2 markets for smartphones. I also never said nor implied that this same strategy can be applied to every market. HMD has successfully been able to adjust strategies for varying markets. This is also a verifiable fact, and their continued growth is a testament to it.
But you continue to toss them out there implying that they are. They are not the only markets Nokia caters to. They also cater to the EU market as well. The fact that you are backed into a corner and trying to move the goalpost back just further proves my point. But you continue to namedrop them each and every time almost.
I'm not implying anything. That's obvious by the fact that you can't provide a link proving so. You're just falsely assuming that I'm implying that. I never claimed they are the only markets HMD caters to. You are just trying to change the facts to suit your false narrative because you're backed into a corner by your lack of proof. But do continue to manufacture reasons to pick fights with me simply because I used the two largest smartphone markets as an example.
The unibrow is very dated design at this point. I know this is a lower end phone but there's far better design options ot there especially if you're going to have a massive chin.


John Crane, one of the UK's premier wooden toy stores have just announced a new partnership with the Italian toy manufacturer Sevi which will be available to customers from February 2012.
We are massive fans of wooden toys in our house and I am lucky in that Bud really enjoys playing with them too. Sevi have been hand making wooden toys since 1920 and John Crane is the ideal home for them to meet the UK market. I've picked out a few items that I really love to share with you.
The range features some beautiful wooden Christmas decorations. I'm a big fan of this style of decoration, and we bought quite a few like this for our tree last year on Bud's first Christmas.
How lovely is this Advent Calendar? This could be brought out every year in the run up to Christmas.
Lovely Christmas Tree decorations. I have a serious Tree decoration habit and would really like to add these to my collection this year. They are great.
If you'd like to learn more about John Crane you can visit their website or find them on Facebook or Twitter.


The catalogue for "Respublika! – Experiments in the Performance of Participation and Democracy" (2019), edited by Nico Carpentier and published by NeMe, reports on the Respublika! project, initiated and curated by Nico Carpentier and co-organised with NeMe and CCMC.
The catalogue highlights the 18 Respublika! art projects, through project narratives, artist interviews and more than 200 photographs and can be accessed freely here.
It also contains 12 reflexive articles, written by Bart Cammaerts, Nico Carpentier, Vuk Ćosić, Vaia Doudaki, Pascal Gielen, Helen Hahmann, Nicos Trimikliniotis, Olga Yegorova and Hazal Yolga.
Respublika! was a cluster of an arts Festival, three Exhibitions and several Seminars, initiated and curated by Nico Carpentier and co-organised with NeMe and CCMC. Respublika! translated the principles of community media in creative practice, in order to reflect on media, democracy and its participatory component, to analyze the (de)centralization of power in contemporary societies, and to showcase art projects that use participatory mechanisms to produce art projects, working with, and empowering members of one or more communities.
Respublika! was multi-sited and multi-genre, and aimed to tap into the creative reservoirs of community media, civil society organizations and social collectives (and their members); but also of artists that are committed to the basic principles of participatory (community) communication.
second main exhibition, from 8 to 16 December 2017.

Aetna and Humana shares fall after federal judge blocks $34 billion merger
Published: Jan. 23, 2017 at 12:24 p.m. ET
Brent Kendall
The decision could deal a fatal legal blow to the merger
A federal judge ruled against Aetna's planned merger with Humana in a decision released Monday.
A federal judge Monday blocked the proposed merger of health insurers Aetna Inc. and Humana Inc. on antitrust grounds, a potentially fatal legal blow to the $34 billion deal.
U.S. District Judge John D. Bates ruled the Justice Department had proven its case that the merger would unlawfully threaten competition.
The judge said the transaction could mean higher prices and reduced services for seniors who purchase the private Medicare plans known as Medicare Advantage. He also said the merger would harm competition on public insurance exchanges in parts of Florida.
Aetna US:AET and Humana HUM, -3.54% didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Shares of the companies fell 2.2% and 2.4%, respectively, in midday trading.

Lexa est un personnage de fiction de la série américaine de science-fiction post-apocalyptique The 100, produite par la chaîne CW.

Ce personnage récurrent à la télévision (incarné par Alycia Debnam-Carey) n'apparaît pas dans les livres sur lesquels la série est basée mais seulement dans la série écrite par Jason Rothenberg.

Chef, fin stratège et excellente guerrière, Lexa est la commandante des clans des Natifs, les habitants de la Terre. Elle considère l'amour comme une faiblesse, fortement marquée par la mort de sa petite amie, Costia. Si elle commence à avoir des sentiments pour Clarke Griffin (leader des 100) et prend en considération les opinions de celle-ci, Lexa fait toujours passer son peuple en premier, même au risque de perdre la confiance de Clarke.

Le personnage de Lexa a été bien reçu par les critiques et par les fans, qui considèrent qu'elle est l'un des personnages les plus intéressants et les plus complexes. Elle a été une source fréquente dans le débat : son départ de la série questionne beaucoup le public. Sa relation avec Clarke, qui a passionné les fans, a eu des répercussions importantes sur la communauté LGBT ; de nombreux téléspectateurs l'ont considéré et adopté comme un symbole positif de l'amour et de l'amitié. Leur relation a été toutefois critiquée pour être inutilement tragique, donnant lieu à un débat national sur ce qui était considéré comme une utilisation du trope «  » (un élément récurrent dans les séries qui mettent en scène un personnage homosexuel, qui finit par mourir sans raison valable).

Développement

Casting et création
Le créateur de la série, Jason Rothenberg, raconte que les acteurs de la série et lui-même connaissaient Alycia Debnam-Carey puisqu'elle avait postulé au casting pour le rôle de Clarke en 2014, mais le rôle était revenu à Eliza Taylor. Pour le casting de Lexa, son nom fut alors mentionné, et elle n'a pas eu d'audition pour ce rôle, qui lui a plutôt été offert. À l'époque, l'actrice était également sélectionnée pour le rôle d'Alicia Clark sur Fear the Walking Dead.  a déclaré Rothenberg, qui a toujours considéré la performance d'Alycia Debnam-Carey dans Les 100 comme incroyable. Alycia Debnam-Carey a été autorisée à continuer à travailler sur les deux séries. Rothenberg a dit qu'il aurait fait de même s'il avait été dans l'autre équipe, si les créateurs lui avaient demandé de lui prêter un de ses acteurs, il aurait fait de son mieux pour que la situation fonctionne bien.

En passant d'une série à l'autre, Alycia Debnam-Carey a déclaré : . Lexa, avec , était un rôle étrange pour l'actrice. Elle explique : . Quand elle a eu la chance d'interpréter Lexa, elle raconte qu'elle était excitée face à la qualité de la série et des acteurs, et parce que le personnage prête à de multiples jeux. Finalement, c'est ce personnage qu'elle a préféré joué dans toute sa carrière. .

Jason Rothenberg et son équipe ont fait beaucoup de recherches pour la représentation des sociétés et des clans dans la série, comme pour les Natifs, mais la plupart des idées sont basées sur ses goûts personnels. Ce qu'il aime le plus, c'est le fait de créer un monde entier. . Il ajoute qu'ils sont bien plus que juste des hommes qui écrivent cette série, il y a dans l'équipe plusieurs femmes . Alycia Debnam-Carey explique que pour elle, la culture des Natifs (le langage, leurs vêtements, le maquillage et ) est l'un des meilleurs points de cette série. .

Dany Roth de blastr.com dit être impressionné par la conception des costumes de la série, ajoutant qu'ils sont . Comparant Les 100 à Mad Max, la série . Maureen Ryan, de Variety, dit que pour elle . Alycia Debnam-Carey : . Elle a travaillé avec Jason Rothenberg sur le maquillage et les costumes du personnage, et tous les deux ont collaboré avec des téléspectateurs sur les versions des fans du personnage.

En développant de plus en plus le personnage de Lexa, l'idée qu'elle était attirée par les femmes a été lancée. .

Caractère et interprétation
Les auteurs ont écrit Lexa comme une guerrière fière et sage, qui garde ses sentiments enfermés en elle et qui ne montre pas qu'elle se soucie des autres. La vulnérabilité de tenir à quelqu'un, et en particulier d'être amoureux de quelqu'un est un sentiment qu'elle voit comme une faiblesse. Ce sentiment a été exacerbé par la mort de Costia, sa petite amie ; la colère et le deuil l'ont rendue encore plus dure. De plus, elle a été choisie comme heda (commandante) de son peuple par une formation brutale, comme le veut la coutume des Natifs ; si elle montre des faiblesses dans ses devoirs de commandant, elle risque de perdre le respect et l'obéissance de ses guerriers.

Lexa est la première heda des Natifs à réclamer la paix. Alycia Debnam-Carey décrit cette volonté comme  à comprendre pour les Natifs  ; elle est aussi . Elle est extrêmement loyale, mais avant tout envers son peuple, peu importe ce que cela lui coûte. « C'est dans son sang, dit Alycia, de faire passer les siens en premier, parce qu'ils sont ses proches, et c'est ce qu'elle a été élevée pour faire. Elle vient d'une culture vraiment dure et elle a des responsabilités énormes. » Lexa est « brutale, et pragmatique, mais pas par indifférence. C'est tout ce qu'elle a jamais connu ». L'actrice n'a jamais vu Lexa comme une adolescente, et ne lui donne pas d'âge précis : « C'est un peu comme si elle avait sauté son enfance. Elle a été placée dans une position où elle est soudainement forcée à prendre des décisions dures, que la plupart des gens n'auront jamais à prendre, peu importe son âge. Les 100 est un monde où tu ne restes pas enfant longtemps ».

Relation avec Clarke

La relation de Lexa avec Clarke est présentée comme intense, complexe, mais aussi comme la seule chose qui parvient à adoucir Lexa et ses décisions. Alycia explique que la progression de leur relation, qui passent d'alliées à amoureuses, « découle d'une connexion qu'elles partagent toutes les deux, de leurs expériences semblables et de leur position de chef » ; elles sont « toutes les deux de très jeunes chefs avec un grand pouvoir et de grandes responsabilités. Elles doivent mener beaucoup de gens, qui placent leurs attentes en elles ». Les responsabilités, la nécessité de prendre les bonnes décisions et attristées par d'anciens amours, les deux personnages se sentent reliées, et c'est un lien qu'elles ne partagent pas avec les autres.

Alycia Debnam-Carey apprécie que les auteurs n'aient pas défini la sexualité des personnages et les relations amoureuses. Le showrunner Jason Rothenberg explique, quant à lui, que les étiquettes et le genre ne sont pas un facteur à prendre en compte dans la série. .

Réception

En général
Lexa, et sa relation avec Clarke, ont été bien reçues par les critiques et les fans. Maureen Ryan écrit pour le Huffington Post : . Ryan trouve que Lexa .

L'équipe de SheWired déclare qu'elle a fait  et . Dana Piccoli de AfterEllen.com décrit Lexa comme un  qui a attiré l'attention des spectateurs, et félicite , ajoutant .

La question de savoir si Lexa devait ou non être liée à Clarke a été aussi débattue, en particulier par les fans de la relation entre Bellamy et Clarke (Bellarke) qui a lieu dans les livres. Cela donne lieu a une rivalité entre les communautés de fans. En 2015, Sydney Bucksbaum de E! Online a déclaré, en regardant la saison 2 : .

Rothenberg a répondu a Bucksbaum qu'il n'écartait pas une possibilité pour Bellarke, mais que l'histoire entre Bellamy et Clarke ne faisait pas partie de ses priorités ; la série montrait qu'ils s'inquiétaient l'un pour l'autre, et d'ajouter que ceux qui voulait une histoire d'amour pouvaient lire les livres. "On travaillait sur l'histoire entre Lexa et Clarke [dans la saison 2] et c'était toujours d'actualité parce que les deux personnages étaient proches et toujours en vie, dit Rothenberg. Eliza Taylor a aussi réfléchi à la question, disant qu'elle aime que la bisexualité soit mise en avant dans la série et présentée comme normale, mais qu'elle aime aussi la relation entre Bellamy et Clarke.

Dans la communauté LGBT

La relation entre Clarke et Lexa a eu un fort impact sur la communauté LGBT. Dalene Rovenstine de Entertainment Weekly dit que la série « est remplie de retournements inattendus (Un bébé dans l'espace ! Une salle de récolte d'êtres humains ! Des cannibales !), de la mort choquante de plein de personnages principaux, et des tonnes de sang et de gore que vous ne vous attendez pas à voir diffusés à la télévision. Mais aucun de ces moments n'a créé une telle agitation [...] que quand [Clarke et Lexa] se sont embrassées. » Ce baiser a été relayé sur Twitter après la diffusion de l'épisode, et plein de fans ont partagé des dessins des personnages et du couple au fur et à mesure de la progression de la série ; d'autres se sont lancés dans des cosplays de Lexa, commentés parfois par Alycia Debnam-Carey et Jason Rothenberg.

Durant la saison 2, Selina Wilken, de Hypable.com, note avec bonheur que la série « introduit subtilement son premier personnage queer » et qu'elle évite les autres « grands problèmes de la société d'aujourd'hui », comme les stéréotypes du genre, le racisme ou la misogynie. . Elle ajoute que maintenant que la CW a lancé son premier personnage queer, il faut aller plus loin. .

Sur ce point, Rothenberg fait de Clarke un personnage ouvertement bisexuel puisqu'elle a des relations avec Niylah, un autre personnage féminin au début de la saison 3, avant de revoir Lexa.

The lives and adventures of four vegetable friends in a vegetable garden. Meet Spud, a brave potato and leader of the gang, his pals, tough guy Broccoli, cowardly Leek and argumentative Carrot. They all live happily together in the safe and secure gardener's vegetable patch. The trouble begins when the gardener doesn't pay his usual visit to the vegetable patch to tend to and water the vegetables.


King of the Cage (KOTC) resurrected its steel structure inside the Gold Country Casino's Event Center in Oroville, California on October 8, 2016 to host KOTC: Unchallenged. Whether warming up backstage, having their hands wrapped, jiving to tunes during their walkout, getting greased at the prep point, or finding their place in either the red or blue corner, confidence filled each athlete's heart and soul on the card, leaving them to believe: no obstacle could restrain their dreams; then, the bell rang.
Experience topped the bill at KOTC: Unchallenged, and David "Bulletproof" Mitchell (21-6), who trains out of Team Alpha Male, attempted to work as many seconds as he is years old when facing Richard Blake (15-29) in the main event.
Mitchell, at thirty-six years of age, wasted no time, blasting Blake with a right hand and sending him backwards into the fence. From there, Mitchell secured his hands around Blake's waist and manhandled him to the canvas.
As a jiu-jitsu specialist, Mitchell, comparable to a scaly constrictor, slowly squeezed the life out of the visitor from Clingans Korean Karate Academy. Forty-eight seconds later, Mitchell derailed Blake's hopes of glory.
Hometown hero and one of Team Alpha Male's hottest prospects, Benito "The Golden Boy" Lopez (6-0), made the short trip from his front door to the center of the cage at the Gold Country Casino and met Journey Newson (3-1) in front of a raucous collection of family, friends, and steadily growing fanfare.
In Lopez's last contest, KOTC: Home Turf on March 19th, he clocked in for eight seconds on the job, so it felt like an eternity when he spent nearly twenty-five times as long to put Newson away. Newson, the outsider from Oregon, tested Lopez's chin with several shots and even landed a takedown.
Instinctively, Lopez shifted the tide in his favor by retreating from the floor and circling away from Newson's grasp. When Lopez found his range, his striking overwhelmed Newson. A solid combination of kicks and punches stapled his opponent to the cage, and, at the sight of Newson's crumpling body, a screaming audience encouraged Lopez to pump his fists like a jackhammer, prompting the referee's end to the assault.
David Mitchell defeated Richard Blake in round 1 (:48) by way of rear-naked choke.
Benito Lopez defeated Journey Newson in round 1 (3:04) by way of TKO.
Brian Wilkinson defeated Jeff Thorton in round `1 (3:04) by way of injury stoppage/TKO.
Charles Hill defeated Kristofor Garcia in round 3 (2:27) by way of TKO.
Lake Gee defeated Carlos Quevdo in round 1 (1:24) by way of TKO.
Tyler Holbrook defeated Erickson Abalos in round 2 by way of TKO.
Jesus Medrano defeated Derek Archuleta in round 2 (1:38) by way of injury stoppage.
Charles Guthrie defeated Alex Mosier by way of unanimous decision.
Calob Ramirez defeated Greg Fiel in round 2 (2:34) by way of TKO.
Chris Marinelli defeated Kevin Tran in round 1 (1:27) by way of TKO.
With a ninety percent finish-rate on the evening, the greatest challenge for fans at KOTC: Unchallenged was remaining in their seat. As the final wave of satisfied spectators exited the Gold Country Casino, KOTC's executives were confronted with a dilemma of their own: when to return to the 'City of Gold' for another edition of King of the Cage.

Society of Environmental Engineers to close – registration options for members
In May 2019, correspondence was sent to Licensed Members of the Engineering Council to confirm that the Society of Environmental Engineers (SEE) licence was due to expire on the 31 July 2019. Since then, we received an email on 13th September from the SEE CEO, Professor Ray Clark confirming their current intention to close. Although the exact date has not been provided, we understand it is most likely to be by the end of the year.
The Engineering Council has written to all SEE registrants advising them of the next steps with regards to continuing their registration, in particular the requirement to seek registration with another Licensed Member within 12 months, i.e. by 31 July 2020, as in line with our Regulations. The Engineering Council has also written to all those Professional Affiliates who held Registration Agreements with the SEE to provide details on setting up new agreements where required.
This action could of course result in SEE registrants contacting a licensed institution for details on how to continue their registration. In such cases, if the registrant is already a member of an Institution, they will follow their current procedures for transferring registrations. Alternatively, if the registrant is not a member of an Institution, the individual would need to join as a new member, at the appropriate grade of membership.
Should you have any questions regarding SEE and the registration process, please contact our Registration Department at registration@engc.org.uk

Senator McCain is speaking now and I'll have his speech here for you in a little while. I'm going to try to get a personal interview with him on his way out too.
He's asking consumer to demand fuel efficient vehicles while he works on legislation to help in Washington. He just said he's against government subsidies for ethanol.
Now he's talking about ethanol companies reporting record profits. He specifically mentioned ADM. He says distribution for ethanol is a big challenge and he hopes E85 becomes more available.
Post Update: Here's a couple of quick soundbites from Senator McCain which I was able to obtain as he was leaving.

Under California's workers' compensation system, workers are eligible for several types of benefits for a work-related injury or illness. These benefits include medical care; temporary disability payments to replace lost wages and a permanent disability settlement.
In some cases, workers' compensation also offers a certain amount of assistance with vocational rehabilitation. If the accident was fatal, there may also be death benefits available for dependent family members.
Workers' compensation is supposed to pay for all reasonable and necessary medical care after a work-related injury or illness. In most cases, this care is delivered through a medical provider network (MPN) approved by the state.
By working with a skilled workers' compensation attorney, you can strongly assert your right to be treated fairly throughout the process.
Temporary disability benefits are generally two-thirds of the wages you miss out on because of your injury. The amount is based on your gross wages, before taxes.
The payments are supposed to begin after you are hospitalized for at least one night or your doctor states that you can't perform your usual work for more than three days.
As its name implies, temporary disability payments do not last indefinitely. They continue until you go back to work or for a limited period (two years and, in some exceptions, a third year of temporary disability from the state).
Some workers are not able to recover fully from work-related injuries or illness. But permanent disability benefits may be available.
Essentially, permanent disability mounts to a settlement of the case, in which an injured worker receives a lump sum. The permanent disability amount is expressed as an impairment level, which reflects the percentage to which your future earning capacity is reduced due to a partial or total inability to work.
The amount of the disability payment is based on this percentage, using a formula set by California's workers' compensation law.
For totally disabled workers, complicated issues regarding Social Security and Medicare may arise. These are best faced with guidance from an experienced attorney.
California law allows for certain amounts of vocational rehabilitation to help injured workers get ready to go back to work.
If the work injury or illness was fatal, there are also death benefits available for dependent family members under the law.

Q: Android Market. Google Checkout and Bank account Please excuse the fact that it's not a programming question, but it's still related to software development, so i hope it is ok.
Creating an Android developer account for paid apps implies registering a GoogleCheckout account which in turn implies linking it to a bank account from one of those 31 eligible countries.
Can someone please clarify for me some aspects regarding Google Checkout and the bank which is linked to the GC account? So here are a couple of questions:

*

*If i'm not mistaken i read somewhere that you can checkout only at the end of every month. My question is: does Google automatically wire the money from the GC account into you Bank account? OR you can keep the money in your GC for as long as you want and manually choose when and how much money to transfer to your bank account?

*If you can do it manually, then can you choose NOT to transfer the money from the GC account into your bank account, but instead transfer it to a PayPal account?

A: *

*Money is transferred automatically on the second day of every month. There are no settings to change nor time nor amount of the transfer, all earnings for the previous month come to you no matter what.

*Google insists on banking account, no Paypal, sorry. And after you enter the necessary information Google does special check to make sure it's your account by (nice surprise =) depositing $1 to your account and asking about details of that deposit.

By the time of the "1984" television advertisement, Apple's informal tradition had turn out to be a key trait that differentiated it from its competitors. According to a 2011 report in Fortune, this has resulted in a company tradition more akin to a startup rather than a multinational company. In a 2017 interview, Wozniak credited watching Star Trek and attending Star Trek conventions whereas in his youth as a source of inspiration for his co-founding Apple. In May 2016, Angela Ahrendts, Apple's then Senior Vice President of Retail, unveiled a significantly redesigned Apple Store in Union Square, San Francisco, featuring giant glass doors for the entry, open spaces, and re-branded rooms. The new design will be utilized to all Apple Stores worldwide, a process that has seen stores temporarily relocate or close. In February 2015, Apple opened its new one hundred eighty,000-sq.-foot headquarters in Herzliya, Israel, designed to accommodate approximately 800 workers. This is Apple's third office located within Israel; the primary, additionally in Herzliya, was obtained as a part of the Anobit acquisition, and the other is a research middle in Haifa.

On January 26, 2021, Twitter acquired Revue, an e-mail newsletter service to compete with platforms like Substack. Twitter saw somewhat dramatic development in 2020, possibly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. During said pandemic, Twitter noticed an increased use of the platform for misinformation associated to the pandemic. Twitter introduced in March 2020 that it might begin marking tweets which can include misleading info, in some circumstances it's going to provide links to pages of fact-checking information. For instance, a document was set in the course of the 2010 FIFA World Cup when followers wrote 2,940 tweets per second within the thirty-second period after Japan scored in opposition to Cameroon on June 14.

I have a quick recipe for you today that comes from one of my favourite blogs, Chocolate Covered Katie. Katie comes up with so many unique and healthy vegan treats, so I am always bookmarking new recipe ideas from her blog!
I was especially excited to try her recipe for blended cereal that is supposed to taste like banana bread in a bowl. Basically, you take a frozen banana, some almond milk, nuts, vanilla, and flake cereal and blend it up until it's nice and smooth and thick. When these ingredients are blended together, the flavour is is very similar to banana bread, but in a cold and creamy form!
For my version, I used almond milk and Banana Nut Muslix as the cereal - this was perfect because it enhanced the banana flavour even more, and it already includes walnut pieces so I didn't need to add any additional nuts.
I will definitely be making this again whenever I'm craving either a smoothie or banana bread, since it satisfies both cravings!
When it comes to pizza, a simple margherita will please me, and if I could choose my own toppings, I usually stick with my two simple favourites of tomatoes and pineapple. But I also like trying out different or unconventional toppings, like the delicious asparagus pizza that my parents make.
But my newest favourite pizza topping that I just discovered this summer is corn! Apparently corn is a popular topping for pizza in Ireland, but I've never seen it on any pizzas here in Canada before. And after having it a couple of times now, I don't know why it took me so long to try!
Corn goes well with lots of other toppings, like roasted veggies, or tomatoes with pesto. But I think this variation that I came up with the other weekend is definitely a strong candidate for becoming my new favourite pizza!
I always love the combination of sweet and spicy flavours, especially when it comes to Indian food. So when I saw this Indian pizza, I wanted to make it right away! But I also got inspired by my recent corn craze and decided to add a spicy Indian corn mixture to the pizza, based on this recipe for corn chaat.
It was no surprise to me that I absolutely loved the result! There were so many dimensions of flavours and textures to enjoy – from the sweet mango sauce, to the crunchy spicy corn, to the soft and chewy bites of paneer. And I recommend adding the cilantro too, it really added to all the other flavours.
The list of ingredients for the recipe may seem a bit lengthy, but each of the steps is actually very easy and this doesn't take long to put together. And because these are made on naan bread, there is no rolling or stretching of the dough required, and the baking time is very short.
First, prepare the paneer by slicing it into small cubes. Mix the remaining ingredients for the marinade (yogurt through to salt & pepper) and pour into a ziplock bag. Add the paneer to the bag and mix around. Let sit in the fridge for about two hours.
Prepare the corn by husking it and then slicing off the kernels. Place the kernels in a bowl and squirt lemon juice over them (enough to cover). Sprinkle with amchur, chat masala, salt and pepper (I just judged the amounts by eye). Let the mixture sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
When the paneer is done marinating, pour the contents of the bag into a saucepan and saute on medium-high heat until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Next, create your pizzas. Lay out two naan breads on a baking sheet. Mix the pizza sauce with mango chutney and spread evenly over the two breads. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Next, top with the corn and paneer.
Bake pizzas in the oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Since I became a vegetarian, I've been eating a lot of quinoa. Its a complete protein, its very easy to cook, and there are endless possibilities for turning it into a delicious meal, so I never have a problem using it up if I have leftovers. I've tried wrapping it up in a tortilla with some veggies, and even eating it for breakfast layered with yogurt to make a parfait!
Quinoa also goes well with just about any kind of fruit, and this salad is proof of that! I saw the recipe on Oh She Glows, and have made it a couple of times since then. The first time, I didn't think it was anything special, but now I realize the reason I didn't love it was because I decided to use blackberries instead of blueberries. I guess blackberries are one fruit that actually don't belong in quinoa, at least for my personal taste - I just didn't like the texture of their crunchy seeds mixed with everything else in the dish.
So the next time I made it, I used a different combination of fruits that turned out really well! I kept the strawberries and blueberries from the original recipe, and also added mango (because clearly I love mango!). I thought the flavour and texture of the mango went perfectly with everything else, and also added a nice burst of colour. Next time, I might even include kiwi too for one more bright colour to go with the red, blue, and yellow!
Usually, I find that quinoa doesn't need much of a dressing, but it does soak up the flavour of any dressing that you do add. I loved the dressing in this recipe - the taste of the lime definitely came through, but it was balanced by the subtle sweetness of the maple syrup and the balsamic. I also like when a dressing is oil-free!
Here is the recipe with my changes. Aside from the addition of mango, I also added lime zest and two types of almonds. And since I was bringing this to a potluck, I used more quinoa than the original recipe, and one and a half times the amount of dressing.
Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Let cool and fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, chop up your fruit and almonds and set aside. (I toasted the almonds first because I prefer them that way).
Make the dressing by whisking all ingredients in a small bowl.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl. Add in the fruit and almonds and stir to combine. Pour the dressing on and mix well. Chill the salad in the fridge until serving time.
At my visit to the farmer's market today, I saw lots of gorgeous eggplants of all shapes and sizes and remembered a recipe that I recently bookmarked from one of my favourite blogs, A Couple Cooks. The recipe was for an Eggplant Parmesan Salad - a sort of deconstructed eggplant parmesan in the form of a light summery salad. I love caprese salads and I thought the idea of adding sliced eggplant and parmesan sounded very creative and delicious!
I happened to have all of the rest of the ingredients on hand already, so I made this salad for lunch as soon as I got home from the market, and it was just as good as I hoped it would be! The eggplant came out with just the right texture - still a bit soft and nicely browned, and along with the tomatoes, cheese, basil, and balsamic, this salad was very fresh and flavourful!
I won't repost the recipe here, because I really didn't change it from the original other than using mini bocconcini for the mozzarella, and leaving out the croutons. I also adjusted all of the amounts to make a single serving.
You can find the recipe over at A Couple Cooks.
Since I still had lots of eggplant to use up and my hunger wasn't completely satisfied after the salad, I also decided to make a snack of eggplant chips from another recipe I had found online for Indian spiced eggplant chips with a yogurt raita.
I didn't slice the eggplant very evenly, so some of my chips were crispier than others, but I actually liked the variety of textures! The chips were warm and spicy, and they paired nicely with the cool creamy raita.
Again, I followed the recipe pretty closely, so head on over to All Day I Dream About Food to find it! The only change I made was to leave the mint out of the raita. My eggplant also took the full 30 minutes to cook, and then I left the thicker slices in for another 5 minutes.
Our family recently held a backyard BBQ and we decided to serve different kinds of sliders as the main dish. Of course, we needed a vegetarian option for my sister and I, and I was put in charge of coming up with a recipe and making them. Immediately I thought of something I've been wanting to make for awhile – beet burgers!
I've already professed my love for both beets and miniature food, so I was very excited about the idea of mini beet sliders...I even gave a little cheer of "Beet burgers! Beet burgers!" very enthusiastically to anyone who asked what I was making.
After searching for a while for the perfect recipe, I decided on this one for beet, oat and chickpea sliders. I liked the concept of adding chickpeas because I thought they would add a nice flavour as well as some texture.
They took some time to put together, since there are a fair number of different ingredients that go in them, but once the patties are made, the rest is simple – just put them on a baking sheet and into the oven!
When I served this platter of purple patties to my family, some people were really excited to try them, but others were much more hesitant! My sister and I would have been quite happy to have them all to ourselves, but most people ended up trying them after all, and everyone who did gave them rave reviews!
Unfortunately, I didn't get any nice pictures that actually did them justice (I couldn't exactly take them away for a photo shoot while everyone else was starting dinner!). But even though they may look a little diffferent from typical burgers, hopefully you will still give beet burgers a chance! They actually don't taste much like beets, and they aren't like storebought veggie burgers either - they have a soft texture and the taste of the chickpeas comes through the most - kind of like falafels.
Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and mash. Add the cooked potato and grated beets and continue to mash until everything looks broken down and mixed together.
Add in the salt, spices and olive oil and mix well. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then mix in ½ cup of the ground oats. The mixture should now be dry enough to form into patties.
Form small balls out of the mixture and flatten into patties (they should be the size of your slider buns). Add the remaining ground oats to a plate and press each side of the patty into the oats to coat. Place the coated patties onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until they start to feel crisp on the outside.
Serve with tahini yogurt sauce (if desired) on slider buns. The patties are also really good just on their own!
I also wanted to come up with a sauce to go on the sliders. Since these are similar to falafels, I thought that a tahini-yogurt sauce would go well with them, and it was perfect!
I picked up some apricots at the farmer's market last weekend without any idea of what I would do with them. I'm not sure if I've ever even eaten a fresh apricot before, but they had little samples out to try, and I liked it so much that I bought two immediately!
After searching for recipe ideas, I decided to caramelize my apricots under the broiler and top them with goat cheese, chopped nuts and basil. I used honey-flavoured goat cheese, which went nicely with the apricots but made for a pretty sweet dish overall combined with the caramelized sugar and honey on top. I also paired them with a fresh peach salad to which I added more goat cheese, plus the leftover chopped nuts and basil.
I don't know what possessed me to think that two whole apricots (plus the peach salad) was an appropriate serving size just for myself...I must have neglected to take into account the fact that two apricots actually equals four portions once you cut them in half. Oh well, I still enjoyed every bite! But I definitely would have appreciated the meal more if I had have been left wanting more rather than feeling stuffed!
So if you can still find fresh apricots and local peaches, give this recipe a try – just adjust the proportions of everything depending on how many people you are serving.
Cut the apricots in half and remove the pit. Sprinkle the tops with coconut sugar and put on a baking sheet. Broil in the oven (500 degrees) for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the goat cheese with the chopped basil.
Remove apricots from oven and fill the halves with the goat cheese mixture. Sprinkle with chopped almonds and more basil (you won't need all the almonds, so save the rest for the salad). Drizzle with honey if desired.
You don't need an exact recipe for this, just arrange the ingredients on a plate and top with a simple dressing to let the flavours of the salad shine!
I've never been quite sure how I feel about pesto - sometimes I like it and sometimes it's just a bit too overpowering. But when I saw this recipe for a pasta salad with a basil pesto vinaigrette, I knew immediately that I wanted to make it. It looked like it was full of all sorts of good things - veggies that I could get from the farmer's market, baked tofu (my favourite way of cooking it...this would be a really good recipe to serve to anyone who hasn't tried tofu or doesn't think they like it!), and a sauce that promised to be amazing. And let me tell you, it definitely lived up to my expectations!
This is worth making for the sauce alone...while some pestos can be too oily or too garlicky, this one was smooth and lemony (although my garlic wasn't that fresh, so that might have made a difference. I also cut down the amount of oil by half).
I made the sauce first, and then I was tempted to skip the rest of the recipe and just eat the sauce with a spoon because it was so good...but I restrained myself to just licking it from fingers and saving the rest for the pasta!
Preparing the rest of the ingredients does require a bit of coordination - cooking each of the veggies separately, boiling the pasta, baking the tofu and toasting the walnuts. So make sure you read through the entire recipe first so that you know everything that needs to be done (that way you won't forget a step like I did...I completely forgot about the tofu until my veggies were almost done so everything had to be put on hold while I waited for the oven to heat up.) But don't worry, this recipe is very forgiving and is good to eat either warm, cold or at room temperature!
To make the dressing, blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor and keep in refrigerator until ready to use.
For the tofu, preheat the oven to 400. Drain the tofu and cut into ½ inch cubes. Place on a baking sheet lined with a greased foil sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned, flipping partway through if necessary.
For the pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they are just crisp-tender. Remove beans with a slotted spoon and place on a clean dish towel to try. With the water still boiling, add the peas and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove and let them dry with the beans.
Next, add the pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente, following the package directions.
Meanwhile, heat a bit of olive oil in a pan and sauté the sliced squash until it is softened and lightly browned. Lastly, toast the walnuts (you can use the same pan) for a few minutes, being careful not to burn them.
Drain the pasta and add it to a large bowl. Add in the beans, peas, squash, tomatoes and walnuts. Add the dressing and stir until it is all incorporated (I used the full amount of the dressing and it was just the right amount).
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
After taking a bite of this salad, my first words were literally "this is like summer in a bowl"...And just like summer, I didn't want this bowl to end!
This was the year that I discovered panzanella, and it has become one of my favourite summertime meals. It's easy to make and very customizable – perfect for highlighting the best produce and herbs of the season!
If the idea of panzanella has never interested you, I suspect the reason is the bread...A typical response I get when I try to tell people that they should make it is something along the lines of "Ew, soggy bread? No thanks". But I promise the bread is not soggy or mushy – this is not meant to be anything like bread pudding! All you have to do is toast the bread in the oven or on the BBQ first to make it crispy...It doesn't even have to be stale to begin with. Also, be sure to add the bread in just before serving, so that it doesn't soak up the dressing for too long before you eat it.
If I am making panzanella as a quick lunch, I would just add some fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, along with the toasted bread, herbs and dressing. But last week, I got a bit more inspired and wanted to try a roasted version using a slightly greater variation of ingredients. It turned out soo yummy, I loved each and every bite (I even tried to structure my spoonfuls so that I could get a bit of everything all at once)! I also thought the addition of cheese worked really well, but you could easily leave that out for a vegan version.
Here's the recipe I used, but feel free to adjust the amounts of everything the way you like!
First, you need to roast all the veggies, so preheat the oven to 350. Put the corn in the oven with the husk on (this is my favourite method of cooking corn!) and roast for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the other veggies. In a baking dish, mix the tomatoes, squash, and garlic with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Put this pan in the oven with the corn for the last 15-20 minutes of roasting time.
Cut your loaf of bread in half and brush each half with a bit of olive oil (or cooking spray). Add bread to oven on a baking pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
When the corn is done, remove the husk (you might need oven mitts, it will be hot!) and slice off the kernels with a knife into a bowl. Add the remaining veggies, garlic, and cheese.
Tear or slice the bread into small pieces and add to bowl.
Next, add the oregano, olive oil and vinegar and mix everything together. Mix in the basil last.
I've started to see lots of recipes for raw zucchini "noodles" appearing on blogs, and I became very intrigued by them! Using vegetables as your noodle base is not only a lot healthier than regular pasta, but it's also much easier to make because there is no actual cooking involved! Plus there are so many fun possibilities once you add a sauce and any other additional ingredients that you want.
I've already made variations on zucchini noodles a few times now, and these are two of my favourite combinations...Both include mango, but in different ways – the first uses it blended into a sauce for the noodles, and the other uses strips of mango in the salad along with the noodles.
Both versions were absolutely delicious! And even though they were coated in creamy sauces, they were still nice and light – unlike the way similar pasta dishes with creamy sauces can leave me feeling.
I also liked the texture of the noodles...Most recipes recommend using a spiralizer to get thin strands of zucchini, but since I don't own one of those, I used a regular vegetable peeler instead. This created wider, flat noodles, so they were more similar to a broad pasta like pappardelle.
Wash a large zucchini and peel into long strips with a vegetable peeler. You can use the skin, but stop once you get to the core and the seeds start showing. Add the strips to a bowl and discard the remaining core.
Puree and adjust seasoning if you like (Note: the mint flavour was pretty strong, which I liked, but if you are not a big fan of mint then you should probably start with less than the amount called for, and then you can add more depending on your tastes).
Pour the sauce on to your noodles and mix it in. Top with a handful of nuts – I used raw walnuts, but the original recipe suggests pistachios.
Then I started thinking of more ways to eat raw noodles...I love peanut sauce on pasta, so I wanted to do a version of peanut noodles...but instead of the usual soba noodles, I used a combination of zucchini and yellow summer squash (although you could just use all zucchini), and instead of the usual peanut sauce, I made an almond butter-chili sauce. The sauce was not very spicy, so if you prefer a bit more heat, feel free to add in a pinch of cayenne or chilli pepper flakes. I thought it paired really well with the noodles and mango!
To make the salad, follow the same procedure as above for the zucchini and squash. Cut a mango in half and then cut each half into long strips. Add to noodles.
Toast the almonds in a skillet for a few minutes, being careful not to burn them.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and whisking together. Add more coconut water if it looks too thick (but aim for thicker because I found it thinned out once I added it to the noodles).
Pour sauce onto noodle-mango mixture and stir it all in. Top with sliced almonds.
(Note: if you plan on making one serving for yourself and saving the leftovers, like I did, don't make the mistake that I did by mixing in all the almonds at once because they will get soggy the next day...instead, keep them separate and top each serving with the almonds when you want to eat them).
Now I'm looking forward to trying more ways to eat zucchini noodles, so let me know if you come across any good recipes! Maybe I will try this method with other vegetables too...like these asparagus ribbons on Nat's blog!

All carpet selections come with a standard matching Sunbrella canvas binding (edging).


Using the submersible, Limiting Factor, video transects of the sea-bed will be recorded and analysed alongside the data collected by the lander on the more mobile fauna. Combined with the physical samples recovered, we can go beyond simply what lives there and begin examining aspects of what they do.
As with every habitat, each species performs a function. Worms irrigate the sea-floor, sea cucumbers bioturbate the surface sediments, fish and crustaceans can rapidly disperse surface derived carbon, and all to a back drop of countless species interactions within a complex food web.
During the Five Deeps we will seek to further our understanding of the importance of each of the roles played. The transects will also help us to produce estimates of population size and ecological significance. In combination, these data will tell us about the importance of each species on the habitability of the hadal environment and also the health of the ocean as a whole.

December 26, 2021 in Pro Teams
By Iain Hay
Thanks to the return of Covid-related restrictions, fans will again only be able to watch this season's 1872 Cup and United Rugby Championship fixtures live on Premier Sports, and former Scotland internationals turned Premier Pundits, Chris Paterson and Jim Hamilton, spoke earlier in the week about a fixture they know well.
Scotland's pro sides claimed a narrow victory apiece roughly in otherwise uninspiring seasons met it's safe to say that both were in a lull. A rather deep, long lull. Danny Wilson's squad was unbalanced and he was unable to recruit, while over in the capital rumours of unrest between playing and coaching staff – mainly head coach Richard Cockerill – had begun to surface.
Although we can expect another pair of close encounters, both camps seem to be back on the right track after improved performances in the United Rugby Championship and superb wins in Europe against English powerhouses Saracens and Exeter Chiefs.
"Recruitment and the development of the players have put both teams in a stronger position than they were last year. The players are playing better, they are in form, and you've added to that some pretty impressive signings" said Scotland's top points-scorer Paterson.
"There has been a real focus and clarity on how the teams want to play, and that has helped. Danny has had another year after the disruptions Glasgow encountered last year and you can see what he wants to do taking shape, and Mike (Blair) has been absolutely clear about how Edinburgh want to play.
"So, clarity, player development and signings all add to a game which has always been viewed by some people as a bit of a national trial.
"I think it is more of a national trial this year than ever before because the quality of the two teams and the level they are playing at is closer to international rugby than it has been when the teams have played in the last few years."
Asked about his favourite derby to play in, the well-travelled Big Jim said: "Genuinely, I'm not just saying this because I'm on the call – I've stated it before, this one. The Edinburgh v Glasgow one is so different because of the fact that you're mates with the players you're playing against and the fact that it's a Scottish trial. There is that old-school element to it."
"In the Premiership it felt like there was a wider picture the way the seasons were structured there. The Edinburgh-Glasgow one, we weren't that competitive in Europe, so a lot of it came down to the derby game – and the fact that it was Christmas as well, I think that adds to it. The derbies in the Premiership and in France would fall however the fixtures fell.
"We always used to laugh and joke about it: you win that first game and it would make your Christmas and New Year slightly better. But it did consume your Christmas.
"It's about winning matches, but it's also about playing for Scotland. You know the Scotland coach is going to be there. Every year I played against Alastair Kellock, it was more than just winning the game: there was always something more. And you only have to look at the two teams coming up against each other in terms of the Six Nations."
Hamilton had specifically mentioned Rory Darge as a player knocking on the door despite the fact he has a Mish-shaped obstacle in his way to claim that Scotland 7 jersey, and the young pretender will get the chance to go headband-to-headband with the Lion.
Blair Kinghorn is unavailable so there's no chance we'll get to see him against Ross Thompson in a potential backup stand-off duel, but Jaco van der Walt will get a chance to show Gregor Townsend what he can do, although the current pecking order would suggest it would require an injury to either Finn Russell or Adam Hastings to make at least the first matchday squad.
Darcy Graham returns on the right wing for Edinburgh but Sione Tuipolotu's omission means that one of Graham's wing-spot rivals, Kyle Steyn, moves to outside centre with Argentine Sebastian Cancelliere named on the flank.
At full back we'll see two of the latest recruits, flying Kiwi Josh McKay for Glasgow and Emiliano Boffelli for Edinburgh, and both had impressed the pundits.
Hamilton said of the pair: "I have played with a couple of Argentine guys before at Leicester, and played against Argentina and played with players like Marcelo Bosch at Saracens. Great human beings.
"Boffelli played against Ireland, then rocks up to Edinburgh, freezing cold, how interested was he going to be? To watch that game, his first touch score against the Dragons, he had been in Edinburgh just for a few days before he had to go to Wales shows the appetite he has got. Edinburgh have a player in his prime in Boffelli and he has the skills set to play across the back three.
"Josh McKay, we were chatting about him in the lead up to the (Exeter) match. Brilliant player, I thought he was Scottish qualified, found out he was English qualified but hopefully he stays around. He comes with unbelievable credentials. Anybody who plays for Canterbury in New Zealand is going to be a good player with the foundations they have got."
In the packs there is a tasty match-up between former national captain Stuart McInally and George Turner at hooker, but the loosehead "BokJocks", Pierre Schoeman and Oli Kebble, may not see much of each other with Kebble on the bench behind another looking to force his way back into Toonie's Tombola, Jamie Bhatti.
Young buck locks Jamie Hodgson and Marshall Sykes will have their work cut out for them in the engine room as they come up against established international Scott Cummings and crafty veteran Richie Gray, but the back-row is where the thunder meets thunder, with only Jamie Ritchie a notable absentee.
Magnus Bradbury has looked back to his best and he starts at no:8 against the signing of the season so far, the brutally ferocious, player of the match-machine, Jack Dempsey.
It was likely to be close regardless, but with no Scotstoun crowd in attendance to spur their boys on it might even level the field more. Who does Paterson think has the edge?
"I really don't know who's in the best position going into this game. They're both in a good position.
"Edinburgh come into it off the back of that European win away from home against Saracens. It was a brilliant performance in terms of physicality and defence and their attitude.
"Speaking to a lot of the players afterwards and they were a wee bit disappointed with the level of performance. They all kind of thought, 'We didn't play at our best', so to get a win away from home against such a big team in Europe, having not played your best, is a good place to be.
"Then on the flipside, you watch Glasgow on Saturday and they were outstanding. It was a statement win, so they go into this game having beaten a massive side in Exeter, and ultimately at Exeter's game as well. Two or three times in the first half and the early part of the second half Exeter had a position where it looked inevitable that they would score and they didn't because of the attitude and physicality in defence of Glasgow.
"I really don't know who's in the best position going into this game. What position would I rather be in? I think I'd rather have played the week before. Glasgow have come off that win with a huge amount of confidence they didn't necessarily have before that game."

Over 9 million sells of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C for the first week, Apple reveals
Apple has just revealed the first sells numbers of the first week after the launching of the flagships iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The good news for the mobile giant is that the sells have exceeded the expectations for 9 million sold units for the first seven days. The last year's flagship reached the modest 5 millions within the first week. Great news that Apple announced is that now more than 200 million smartphones and tablets are working with the newest upgrade iOS 7.
Do you remember the rumors that the new models iPhone will have low stock at the stores? Apple has commented that because of the "incredible demand" by customers for iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, there might be users that could not find the devices on stock in the local shops. In order to avoid future inconvenience of this sort, Apple is offering the service Personal Pickup for both iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
How it works in real? If you want to buy any of the new models from the online store of Apple, you need to choose the device you like and then select the option "Check Availability." You will get immediately information about where in the local stores the wanted device is in stock. The next step is to order the iPhone and then go and get it from the certain place. The service is pretty fast and promises to get your newly purchased device ready for an hour after you have placed the order.
This weekend was definitely good for Apple after the success in the sells of the new devices and the rolling-out of iOS 7. The company has not revealed more details about the numbers. For example, we are curious to know the present of the iPhone 5C sells compared to the iPhone 5S'. What do you think? Which device is selling better?

Ten out of ten for Thompson
HEYWOOD boxer Mark Thompson made it 10 wins from 10 professional fights when he secured a unanimous points decision against Lee Noble at Leeds Town Hall.
TEN OUT OF TEN... Mark Thompson maintained his unbeaten run at the weekend.
The 25-year-old, who first turned professional in September 2005, dominated from the off and always looked in control against Noble, who suffered only the second loss of his professional career.
On a bill that topped by Carl Johanneson's victory over Ricky Burns, Thompson delivered a superb performance that shone from the first minute, winning all of the six rounds on the judge's card.
While the bout never exploded into life, it was Mark who did enough to earn victory against his Barnsley-based opponent.
The unbeaten boxer, who has gone the full distance in four of his previous nine bouts, now lies in the top 20 Welterweights in the UK and close friend and committed supporter John Latham says that it's only a matter of time before Mark gets a title shot.
"I firmly believe Mark has got what it takes," he said. "His dedication is second to none and I think that in a few fights he'll be the Area champion, which could lead to a British title shot."
Since Mark's first professional fight in 2005 against Geraint Harvey, he has notched up five knockout's which has ultimately lead to widespread interest in his boxing career.
"He has attracted the interest of a lot of people in the town, and the publicity he is gaining now is deserved," added Latham.
After starting out at Heywood Boxing Club, Thompson's progress is such that he has attracted sponsorship from all around the borough, the main two being SAS Security and Express Valet, and with that hopes to build on his early professional success and hopefully gain a pathway onto the world stage.
Thompson, who trains at Oliver's in Salford, is the only professional boxer to come out of Heywood and his achievements are echoing his dedication. "He travels eight miles a day to get to training, and without his own transport he has to rely on friends and family to get him there. His commitment to the sport is exceptional, and I'm sure that if he carries on the way he is going, he'll be a world star," said Latham.
Mark's next fight is scheduled tfor April with the opponent and venue still to be confirmed.
