For years, Kylie Minogue was locked in a fierce battle — with herself.
Her singles topped the charts and her massive arena tours became ever more spectacular. By 2011's Aphrodite: Les Folies, she was performing to fans from atop a giant Busby Berkeley-esque water fountain. This was pop music at its most OTT.
But where on earth do you go from there?
Love At First Sight it was not. Clearly, something had to change.
A few years later — and with a well-publicised breakup to fuel her creative juices — Kylie returned with her most personal (indeed, she co-wrote every song) album in years, last year's chart topper Golden.
And its accompanying tour is the first time (2012's brief 'Anti Tour' aside) Aussie fans have seen her playing venues smaller than arenas in more than 20 years. This time around, she's playing wineries and this, the first of two relatively intimate shows at Sydney's ICC Theatre.
Supporting her on tour is her good friend Jake Shears, mixing songs from his recent debut solo album with a smattering of Scissor Sisters' most honky-tonk singles during a solid opening set.
It's clear from the moment she steps on stage that tonight will be slightly different from the Kylie we're used to seeing in recent years: Her costuming is more relaxed, the staging simpler. Rest assured though, it still frequently dazzles — Kylie clearly never met a glitter cannon she didn't like.
And she certainly knows what her core fanbase want from her current toe-dip into country music: cute cowboy-clad backup dancers, and lots of 'em.
The hits come thick and fast: Fan favourites Get Outta My Way, In Your Eyes and a towering Better The Devil You Know all have the audience up and dancing within the show's first 20 minutes. And while the songs on Golden may feature more acoustic guitar than we're usually used to from Kylie, not everything's been countrified — Devil is still performed in all its S/A/W synth-pop glory.
One costume change later, and she's back on stage in a very Saturday Night Fever white suit, delivering a yearning version of Confide In Me that somehow manages to ratchet up the song's drama more than previously possible.
Then comes one of the night's odder moments, when Kylie strikes up a conversation with a woman in the front row — only to serenade her with the opening bars of her 1995 Nick Cave murder ballad duet Where The Wild Roses Grow.
Your idol singing directly to you about getting your head smash in with a rock by Nick Cave? Better than a selfie, I guess.
Golden's sole electro anthem Lost Without You — a song Kylie revealed to news.com.au she had to 'fight' her record company to get on the album — feels 100-feet tall on stage, delivering one of the night's biggest 'wow' moments thanks to a perfectly-timed laser display.
And best of all is the new life she breathes into some of her most inescapable hits via canny new arrangements: A beefier, guitar-led Can't Get You Out Of My Head and a sweaty, sexed-up Slow, its sparse backing married to a mash-up of Human League's synth classic Being Boiled.
But sometimes you just have to give the punters what they want: Kylie delivers her treacly Jason Donovan duet Especially For You totally deadpan, encouraging fans to dance and sway their arms. The audience obliges, and suddenly, it's the last song at a school disco in 1989.
A man in thr row in front of me sits in his partner's lap: I half-expect an angry teacher with a torch to give them both detention.
But that's always been the beauty of Kylie; giving her fans what they want but never pandering. For the euphoric climax of All The Lovers, cannons fill the space with rainbow confetti, a post-Mardi Gras nod to the LGBTI community that's second nature for a woman whose gay fans have never abandoned her through 30 years of ups and downs.
Some 20 songs deep, she ramps up the energy further, channelling the late, great Donna Summer for a triumphant Studio 54-themed final act — complete with added 'toot toot, beep beep's during The Locomotion.
She ends the night with Dancing, Golden's deceptively simple lead single and a song that's already become one of her signature hits.
It's a well-earned victory lap to a spectacular homecoming: Kylie at 50, a little different than we've seen her before but more assured than ever.
All that, and not a fit ball in sight.
Kylie Minogue plays Sydney's ICC Theatre on March 6, Adelaide Entertainment Centre March 11 and Sidney Myer Music Bowl on March 13.
She also headlines A Day On The Green at Sir James Mitchell Park, WA on March 9, Bimbadgen Hunter Valley on March 16 and Sirromet Wines QLD on March 17.

Device authentication
We offer a "token" for end users without the administration, logistics and hardware cost by using the devices the end users already own!
Security By Your Own Device!
The secure token is the identified device a user already carry, examples could be a smartphone, tablet, browser or a desktop/laptop computer.
(geo-fencing)
Access is only allowed from locations that are approved, and the approved geographical location can be as large as a country or a continent, or just as small as a city.
We make sure that if a user moves from point A to B that they verify that it is indeed the true user who has moved.
2-channel structure
The Keypasco technology offers a strong authentication solution consisting of the Keypasco server (Borgen), one or several clients (Vakten), and a web channel.
The first channel sends information between the end user's device/browser and the Internet Content Provider.
The second channel sends information between the end user's device/Vakten client and the authentication server.
Then the verification of the end user´s attempt is done via the multi-factor levels of security. The Keypasco server verifies the device authentication, geographical location, micro proximity devices (optional), and the risk management.
Micro proximity
The micro proximity feature adds an additional level of security by appointing a dedicated micro proximity device. If this micro proximity device is not in immediate proximity to the Vakten for Desktop client the user can't login or sign any transactions.
For an example: if device 1 is used to login to an account then device 2 (which is the micro proximity device) has to be within centimetres of device 1 to be logged in.
Our risk management analysis feature provides a risk score for each attempt done by the end user. The risk score and it´s value is determent by indicators such as correct device, proximity of additional secure devices, Out Of Band verifications, geographical locations/geofencing, previous fraud and fraud trends etc.
This analysis is improved continuously and is an active part of the service to quickly mitigate new threats.
PKI Sign
The Keypasco PKI Sign feature is a dynamic feature that offers ICPs full support of PKI in a portable mobile device. The feature is based upon the core concepts:
a end users credentials, only known by the correct user,
a transaction can only be approved from the correct device,
a transaction can only be approved from an approved location.
We can guarantee by utilizing the PKI Sign that the signature is done by the correct user. Keypasco has invented (and patented) a new innovative way of using a users mobile device as a secure soft carrier of private keys.
An end users private key is divided into three parts: a client part, a server part, and a secret (PIN). The private keys can only be put together and sign a transaction if the end user has all three parts. The correct user is the only one who knows the secret to achieve the client part, and the server part is only achieved when the correct device and location has identified itself.
The feature does not require a Trusted Platform or a Secure Element, and Keypasco can provide the generating of keys, and verify the signatures if no established PKI CA is provided by the Internet Content Provider through an optional plugin.
Macro proximity
Access is only allowed from locations that are approved, and a user need to have his or hers devices within a reasonable distance of each other.
If the devices are too far apart (example: the distance between point A and point B) it will result in a weak macro proximity score.
GeoOTP
The Keypasco GeoOTP is a complementary mechanism for offline situations. This feature is suitable when a user is in a situation without network access.
The GeoOTP provides information about where the device is located and which device that is being used.
Local sign
Keypasco offers Internet Content Providers a way to provide user a option to sign transactions via the Desktop Client. The Vakten for Desktop client presents a window with the transaction details and asks the user to approve or deny.
This signature option is presented on the same Desktop device that initiated the attempt, but all the information is secured by the 2-channel structure.
Vakten™ Smartphone
The Vakten client is installed on the end users smartphone device to identity the device and location. This Vakten has two functionalities:
To send the device authentication and geographical location information to the Keypasco server Borgen,
and to receive tasks to confirm attempts, which is usually payment signatures or Out of Band recovery.
Supported platforms: Android & iOS.
The Keypasco server – Borgen™
The Keypasco server Borgen is self-scalable to handle any volume, and we offer a SLA on 99,999% uptime on the Cloud Server.
Borgen store the unique identifiers (made up by the device authentication, geographical location, micro proximity devices (optional), and the Risk management.) in the anticipation that an Internet Content Provider and the Vakten software send in an authentication and/or sign attempt.
When an attempt is received, Borgen match the sets of identifiers sent through the different channels with the saved ones.
The Keypasco Server Borgen is offered to be hosted in both the Clouds and On-premise as a Server License.
Vakten™ Browser
The Keypasco product Browser Vakten is an easy and quickly deployable product tailored as an entry level product on it's own, but comes to it's full strength in combination with the Keypasco client Smartphone Vakten.
It doesn't require any installation procedure on client devices; it is instead an integrated part of the web layer of the Internet Content Provider's web site by an embedded JavaScript.
The Vakten client is installed in the end users browser to identity the device and location. This Vakten has one functionality:
To send the device authentication and geographical location information to the Keypasco server Borgen
Supported platforms: Browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, & Safari) on desktop (Windows, Mac OSX, & Linux) & smartphone (Android & iOS).
Vakten™ Desktop
and to receive tasks to confirm attempts, which is a local sign payment signatures.
Supported platforms: Windows, Mac OSX, & Linux.
Mitigated Threats
Phishing: Keypasco mitigates phishing by linking the user with a geographical location and the device authentication. A user's username and password will not work from a wrong device or location.
Man in the Middle & Man in the Browser: Man in the Middle (MitM) and Man in the Browser (MitB) attacks are mitigated by Keypasco's 2-channel structure and the Out of band secure notifications.
Malicious Virus Control (Viruses, Trojans, etc): Viruses, Trojans, and other infections can control or replicate an end user's device. Keypasco mitigates these threats by offering Out of Band authentication, which enables a user to regain control of devices and accounts.
Theft/Robbery: In addition to virtual threats, physical theft of a device can compromise a user's security.
With Keypasco's proximity feature, a user's account is safe even if a device is stolen.

NARTH -- the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality -- put up a terse announcement on their web site:
February 5, 2007 - NARTH has decided to shut down the blog, effective today. The decision came after several discussions over the blog content and the nature of the discussions on it. We wish to thank all those who participated in the blog in a civil and constructive way. - NARTH Blog Committee NARTH Blog Closes Down
You remember when a NARTH shrink, Joseph Barger, wrote on the site's blog that it was a good thing to tease gay and transgender kids at school, because it will put pressure on them to conform to normative social expectations.
Or ... remember when Gerald Schoenwolf posted that big essay on "Gay rights and political correctness," where he argued that blacks who were captured in Africa and kept in slavery in America "were in many ways better off than they had been in Africa." No, people were not impressed by that. In fact, that one ended up with Joseph Nicolosi stepping down as president of NARTH. As Wayne Besen said at the time, "The group was quickly becoming the Mel Gibson of the 'ex-gay' world."
It's weird how this happens. Remember the RecallMontgomerySchoolBoard.com (now Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum) bulletin board? Woo-hoo, that was a rollicking good time. Each comment had a little title, like "Pure Evil," or (my favorite) "Throw the Bumbs Out," and people talked about how foul and nasty homosexuality was, and everything they could think of, from "beastiality" to flavored condoms (which were not in the curriculum, though CRC told people they were).
I can't help myself. Here's a good one from the old Recall site. You can just see this person's face as they wrote this, pounding on the keys:
are these people totally nuts? WE HAVE THE POWER AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE. THEY AND ALL OF THEIR WHACKED OUT LIBERAL MINDED IDEAS CAN TAKE UP RESIDENCE SOMEPLACE BESIDES OUR CHILDRENS SCHOOLS- MAYBE IN FRANCE. BYE BYE
[Date=11-11-2004] Name:ELLEN CLEARY EMCLEAR@AOL.COM, [Msgid=736620]
(Didn't I hear somebody refer to "The Angry Left" recently? Does anybody think our side ever approaches this tenor? I mean: ever?)
The Recall Group quickly realized they had to block their bulletin board from public view, especially after their leader, Michelle Turner, had to go apologize to the MCPS school board for threats that had been made against them.
When the CRC started their own blog, they knew immediately that it would not be a good idea to have comments. But really, it was not a good idea for them to blog at all -- we had too much fun repeating their stuff over here. Their blog died from lack of attention sometime in the summer of 2005.
Blogs are a unique literary form. You publish as soon as you write, with no editor, no re-writing, no feedback until it's out there. And then, sometimes you might miss a fact or spell something wrong, your logic might not have been as sound as it could have been, you might hurt somebody's feelings ... there're a lot of things you can do wrong in this forum. NARTH finally figured out they couldn't handle it. The CRC gave up. Even their forum almost never has anybody at all reading it -- it lists current users at the bottom of the screen, and any of the rare times I look at it, it's just me.
I think it comes down to this: their way of thinking doesn't stand up in the light of day.
There is a perfectly valid viewpoint that I would call "conservative," that values tradition and loyalty and authority and faith, and favors behavior closer to the norm, or behavior that follows social and cultural standards. It contrasts with a view that I suppose is "liberal," since that's how the dichotomy is framed, where social norms are a guideline but not a mandate and people accept and welcome interpersonal differences. There is plenty of room to negotiate public policies between those two poles.
But this third way, the CRC way, insists that its views are the only valid ones, and rejects both thoughtful conservatism and liberalism.
And it is our civic duty to make fun of it.
Well, at least NARTH learned something. It was a good idea to shut down the blog.
(Hat tip to Throckmorton for noting this.)
"Does anybody think our side ever approaches this tenor? I mean: ever?)"
You, for one.
You're kidding.
No. It sounds just like you. Go back and read some of your posts.
Anon- you are the biggest joke of all.

The Danger Of Bad Forensic Analysis
Column: Management that Makes a Difference
The other day, I went into my office with two colleagues, gave each of them a section of The Wall Street Journal, and we spent the next 45 minutes reading whatever captured our interest. When we were finished, we discussed the various articles we found, from finance to marketing to strategy to international business. Much to our chagrin, though not our surprise, none made any mention of the impact that the human behavior of executives had on the performance of their organizations.
For example, one article covered a large, international private equity (PE) firm that had purchased a variety of branded companies in the U.S. Not long after the transaction, the markets softened and the firm lost a great deal of money.
The authors of the article focused on how the PE firm had misjudged the market and made poor decisions around financial trends in the industry, and then explored how it could recoup its losses through additional transactions. What they did not do was provide any insight or express any interest in how the leaders at the firm came to the decision in the first place. Did they trust one another, argue freely before making the decision, hold one another accountable for following through on the transaction?
In my 30 years working within and consulting to organizations, I've learned that these behavioral questions are not only relevant to the success of any strategic decision, they are central to that success.
I learned this lesson more than 20 years ago while working with a client run by a famous CEO leading a well-known technology company. Anyone with a view into the sausage-making at the company could see that the leaders there, taking a cue from the CEO, lacked trust and rarely told each other the truth about difficult issues, choosing instead to protect themselves from possible blame.
Of course, the company eventually imploded and was sold to a competitor for a fraction of its previous value, devastating a regional economy and damaging the lives of thousands of families. When the media analyzed this catastrophe, what did they cite as its causes? Strategic miscues and bugs in the product. While those issues existed, they were merely inevitable downstream symptoms of the real underlying problem—the lack of candor and interpersonal rigor among executives.
So, what is the lesson here for CEOs?
First, be extremely skeptical about what you read in business media. That's not to demean journalists who attempt to give readers compelling and digestible morsels using a limited number of words. It's just the nature of media. And when you consider that those journalists don't have the benefit of watching the sausage-making, they can hardly be blamed.
Second, and most important of all, do not let yourself fall into the same trap of bad forensic analysis when addressing problems in your own organization. It is both tempting and dangerous to take an intellectually lazy approach to identifying the root causes of our company's successes and failures. But when we overlook the impact of interpersonal issues and behavioral shortcomings, we fail to see the full picture and leave ourselves vulnerable to making the same mistakes again and again.
While journalists might have an excuse for their misguided and incomplete analysis, CEOs do not. After all, they were witnesses to the messy processes that led to the decision-making and had their hands in the sausage all along.

Out of jail cells & into havens: Rikers must give way to humane alternatives for people with serious mental illness
By Cheryl Roberts
Leave Rikers behind (Todd Maisel/New York Daily News)
"Bring back the asylum" is a buzzphrase popularized by President Trump, who reaches back in time for a simplistic solution to mass shootings.
For more than 10 million Americans with serious mental illness, asylum — defined as "an inviolable place of refuge and protection" by Merriam-Webster — is a concept that urgently needs to be reclaimed and realized, without recreating the inhumane asylums of the past.
When government began closing asylums 50 years ago, few new institutions emerged to absorb this population. That's how jails, prisons and homeless shelters became the default housing options for those struggling with mental illness. But some people with serious mental illness still need asylum.
Places that provide asylum can be psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric units in general hospitals, Department of Defense or Veterans Affairs medical centers, private psychiatric hospitals, or treatment centers that provide 24-hour care but are not licensed as hospitals. What they can't be are prisons or jails.
Today in the U.S., about 170,000 people with serious mental illness live in such institutions — but more than 350,000 live in jails and prisons and another estimated 350,000 are homeless. The nation's mental health system is undeniably broken.
We need a new contract with Americans that puts mental health concerns on par with physical health. We need to continue to train police to de-escalate interactions involving people in mental health crisis, and crisis centers so police can take people with serious mental illness to a treatment facility instead of jail.
And we need more institutions that cover a wider range of care for people with serious mental illness — just as we don't expect people with cancer to fit into a one-size-fits-all treatment regime or type of facility, but instead treat some on an outpatient basis and others with inpatient care.
People with serious mental illness must have places to receive treatment, and in some cases to live, where they can get stabilized, gain life and work skills, and become part of a community. In short, we need a new set of institutions that offers a place of refuge, a place of asylum. And they shouldn't be jails.
As New York City works to close Rikers Island, it is critical to create a new contract, new institutions, and a new direction for those suffering from serious mental illness, as Rikers is home to the largest concentration of people with serious mental illness in the state.

Catch up on the day's top five stories every weekday afternoon.
As planning efforts inevitably turn to this population, they should focus on creating new institutions outside of jails, rather than retrofitting a correctional setting for treatment. Jails and prisons cannot provide asylum; they are the wrong institution, run by the wrong staff. The option to reuse a jail institution in place of a mental health system should be off the table.
Instead, our notion of mental health "institutions" must be expanded to include new kinds of institutions like the residential diversion facility being developed in Miami by Judge Steven Leifman or the Greenburger Center's Hope House, a planned community residence for those whose untreated serious mental illness resulted in serious criminal behavior. We must also expand community-based housing options such as those run by Argus Community and Fountain House's clubhouse model of supportive and supported housing.
Just as the #CloseRikers campaign had the audacity to say that Rikers must close, we must have the audacity to say that jails can no longer be an option to house those with serious mental illness.
New York City and State have been leaders in developing innovative mental health and substance use disorder diversion and treatment programs. Closing Rikers represents an important opportunity to spur innovation and lead, not only on criminal justice reform but on real mental health reform, too.
Roberts is executive director of the Greenburger Center for Social and Criminal Justice.

Survivor who hid in cabinets describes San Bernardino terror attack
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- It's a day Paula Harold will never forget, the day one of her employees and his wife opened fire on her and co-workers in San Bernardino.
Harold said the San Bernardino County health workers were about to take lunch at their holiday banquet in the Inland Regional Center when Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik entered the conference room.
"The door opened and the shooter came in, just all blacked out, I couldn't see any flesh at all and once I saw the powder escaping from the bullets coming out from the rifle, I said, 'I need to get down and get out as quickly as I can," Harold said.
Harold is a supervisor with the department of health and said that Farook was an employee in her department.
MORE: What we know about the San Bernardino terrorist attack
She said Farook said something as he entered the conference room, but she can't remember exactly what he said.
"Once I saw that rifle going from one end of the room and spraying the room across, I didn't care to look, I just wanted to get out and save my life," Harold said.
She crawled on her hands and knees, cutting herself along the way, but luckily was not struck by gunfire.
"There was a lady coming out of the bathroom through the hallway," Harold recalled. "I hear her yell out, 'oh my god."
Harold followed a group of people into a side room and hid in a set of cabinets.
"I went and hid in them and prayed like crazy that... it would just stop and whoever did this, that they would be caught," she said.
Harold is not only struggling to come to terms with the horrific sights she witnessed, but has been saddened by the numerous funerals she is helping to plan as many of the deceased worked in her office.
Officials said Farook and Malik killed 14 people and injured 21 others during the attack.

"How are we going to attend them all (the funerals)? Are going to get time off work?" Harold asked.
Of the 12 people who worked in her office, Harold said five were killed in the attack.
Two people in her direct unit, Nicholas Thalasinos and Shannon Johnson, were killed.

Portland light rail expansion funding signed
USA: The Federal Transit Administration has signed the full-funding grant agreement allowing TriMet to proceed with construction of the Portland-Milwaukie light rail project and order a further 18 Siemens light rail vehicles.
The $745·2m grant signed on May 22 will cover half of the $1·49bn cost of the 11·3 km line, which is scheduled to open in September 2015 and will take Portland's network to 96 km.
Starting at Portland State University, the route will cross the Willamette River on a new bridge which will also carry, buses, bicycles and pedestrians. It will then run through Milwaukie to terminate at SE Park Avenue in Oak Grove.
Around 22 000 homes will be within walking distance of the 10 stops, and the project includes pedestrian and cycling facilities to expand transport options and create easier commutes.
'This line will provide much-needed connections in south Portland, a part of the city where transportation access is extremely constrained', said Mayor Sam Adams. 'The project will unlock development, connect major institutions and spur job creation.'
Siemens has been awarded a $73m contract to supply a further 18 S70 light rail vehicles from its Sacramento plant from delivery in August 2014, taking the total number of cars supplied by Siemens to TriMet to 119.
TriMet general Manager Neil McFarlane discussed light rail developments in Portland in the September 2011 issue of Metro Report International.

FDA In The Dark On Tainted Food Imports
With all of the numerous recalls on human food, pet food, and other products, one would think that the FDA would not permit any loopholes to allow contaminated products into our food supply. But, five lab operators told USA Today that this is not true.
At labs that test imported food, five lab operators said the FDA gets the favorable test results, but the negative test results are not sent to the FDA if importers tell the labs not to send them.
At least 10% of the time, the lab finds contaminated shipments. There is no regulation that requires labs to send all of their tests to the FDA. Read the entire article.
FDA Has New Warning On Tamiflu
The FDA panel recommended yesterday that Roche change the warning label for Tamiflu, which has been used by 48 million patients since its launch in 1999.
The drug's label already mentions reports of delirium and self-injury, primarily among children in Japan, but some of the FDA's experts suggested the language should mention that several patients have died as a result of these abnormal behaviors.

Singing Helped Alzheimer's Patient
As Bill Bundock's Alzheimer's progressed he became more and more locked into his own world. Bill lost his motivation, and his desire and ability to hold conversations, but all this changed when the couple started attending a local sing-song group, aimed especially for people with dementia.
His wife, Jean, said Singing for the Brain had unlocked Bill's communication block. Read the entire article.
Superbug MRSA: What You Need To Know
The head of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls MRSA the "cockroach of bacteria." It's omnipresent, tough and adaptable.
This fall, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus suddenly went from a festering public-health issue to the top of the national news on word that it's worse than previously thought.
Last month, a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimated that in 2005, some 94,000 people were infected by the most serious form of MRSA infections, and one in five died.
Although this information is very sobering, what is more sad is that information is not getting out there about a patented colloidal silver solution that destroys the MRSA germ, along with many others.
There's no hype about this Silver Shield. The research is recorded in the US Patent Office and Homeland Security has been discussing it.

Ginger For Deadly Infant Diarrhea
The popular spice ginger shows promise as a treatment for bacteria-induced diarrhea, the leading cause of infant death in developing countries.
An extract of ginger blocked the toxin responsible for diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli), which accounts for 210 million cases of diarrhea worldwide and causes 380,000 deaths yearly.
Migraine Brains Are Different
Scientists have discovered differences in the sensory areas of the brains of people who develop migraines.
They found a part of the cortex is thicker than in people who are free from the debilitating headaches.
What is not clear is whether the difference causes, or is the result of migraine attacks. Read the entire article.
Cat Scratch Disease
Sometimes called "cat scratch fever," cat scratch disease is a bacterial infection that typically causes swelling of the lymph nodes. It usually results from the scratch, lick, or bite of a cat — more than 90% of people with the illness have had some kind of contact with cats, often with kittens. Cats less than one year old are more likely to have it. It's more likely to occur in the fall and winter.
Bartonella henselae is the bacterium that causes cat scratch disease, and it's found in all parts of the world. Fleas spread the bacteria between cats, although currently there is no evidence that fleas can transmit the disease to humans.
Usually within a couple of weeks of a scratch or bite, one or more lymph nodes close to the area of the inoculation lesion will swell and become tender.
Children are more susceptible. No reason to get rid of the cat though. The illness is relatively rare and usually mild, and a few steps can go a long way toward limiting your child's chances of contracting the disease.
I've had cats as pets for 37 years and I grew up allergic to everything, so when I got a scratch it would swell and itch and get very red if I didn't do something about it right away.
That still happens, but since we keep Tea Tree Oil in our Herbal Medicine Chest, I just apply some any time our kitty uses my legs as a launching pad for a leap. Tea Tree Oil has many uses.
Drug Companies Accused Of Biased Doctor Training
Pharmaceutical firms spend over $1 billion a year to fund more than half of the continuing medical education (CME) courses that qualified physicians are required to take in the United States.
Although drug firms say that they are scrupulous about separating their CME involvement from promotional activities, some may be influencing doctors, intentionally or not, and may even be putting patients' health at risk. Read the entire article.
Set Family Health Goals
From The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate 17 percent of American children weigh too much, and childhood obesity can increase the risk of sleep apnea, type-2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Help your kids develop the determination to make healthy choices. Plan family activities two or three days a week. Go to the park, walk the dog, wash the car, or join a sports league. Limit television or video games, and avoid watching television during meals.
Explain the difference between healthy and junk foods. Share healthy snacks, such as apple slices, carrot sticks, grapes, or oranges, instead of chips, cookies, or candy. Drink water instead of soft drinks at meals.

Flaxseed May Reduce Hot Flashes
Data from a new Mayo Clinic study suggest that dietary therapy using flaxseed can decrease hot flashes in postmenopausal women who do not take estrogen.
Although until recently hormone replacement therapy was the most commonly prescribed treatment for hot flashes, unwanted side effects have led to the search for nonhormonal solutions.
They have studied a variety of herbal and dietary supplements in randomized, placebo-controlled trials, including vitamin E, black cohosh and soy, but none has shown to produce any significant reduction in frequency or severity of hot flashes.

Pesticides: Statistics, Asthma, Children, Pets & Fleas
Pesticides are widely used in agricultural production, in factories and offices, in homes and restaurants, and in schools. Schools, with their kitchens and cafeterias, athletic fields and playgrounds, classrooms and offices, are regularly treated with a variety of pesticides.
An increasing body of scientific data on the harmful effects of pesticide exposure on people, animals and the environment raises concern about the broad use of these toxic substances. The widespread use of pesticides is a major environmental problem and a public health issue. Recognize Symptoms of Pesticide Poisoning.
The least we can do is to get them out of our homes for the sake of the children and pets if we don't care about ourselves. Their low body weight increases the risks involved.
Poisoning Statistics
According to data collected from Poison Control Centers, in 2004 alone, an estimated 71,000 children were involved in common household pesticide-related poisonings1 orexposures in the United States.
A survey by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding pesticides used in and around the home revealed these significant findings:
* Almost half (47%) of all households with children under the age of 5 had at least one pesticide stored in an unlocked cabinet, less than 4 feet off the ground (i.e., within the reach of children).
* Approximately 75% of households without children under the age of 5 stored pesticides in an unlocked cabinet, less than 4 feet off the ground. This number is especially significant because 13% of all pesticide poisoning incidents occur in homes other than the child's home.
There are alternatives (see below). There are extermination services that use non-toxic methods. Sprays and powders that don't have an odor aren't necessarily non-toxic. Find a business that is using "integrated pest management" methods.
Researchers have found that pesticide exposure can induce a poisoning effect linked to asthma. Asthma is fast becoming an epidemic in our schools. Did you know that nearly 1 in 8 school-aged children have asthma? This rate is rising most rapidly in pre-school aged children. Asthma is the leading cause of school absenteeism due to chronic illness.
Children face unique hazards from pesticide exposure. They take in more pesticides relative to their body weight than adults in the food they eat and air they breathe. Their developing organ systems often make them more sensitive to toxic exposure. Fortunately, organic solutions exist to keep you and your children safe.
Take action. Get more information on what you can do and send a postcard to your school from Beyond Pesticides.
Pet Poisoning
Pet lovers around the world were horrified at the tragedy of thousands of animals dying from a chemical in mass-produced pet foods. It should not have happened. But what about the chemicals we expose them to daily in our home? Toxic cleaning supplies and pesticides do enough damage in humans, without considering the effects in animals with less weight.
Fleas on Pets and In The Home
Flea collars are often purchased for pets at the first sign of the first flea, or even as a prophylactic. The problem is they expose both people and pets to toxic vapors 24 hours a day. The substances the collars are imbued with may be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Your pets may develop dermatitis on their necks from the collars. Cats are especially susceptible. Humans can also get rashes.
In general, flea collars are not particularly helpful. They may kill a flea here and there in your pet's fur, but they will not touch the masses of fleas hiding in your carpet or yard. Here's an essential oil recipe for an Herbal Doggie Flea/Mosquito Collar. You can use this same recipe in a spray to use before and after your dog goes outside.
Understand the life cycle of fleas and how to rid your home from them with non-toxic methods at Alternatives for Animal Health.
Alternative Natural Choices
There are many brands that now produce household cleaning supplies and organic gardening and household solutions to bugs and garden diseases. Our favorite natural product is Sunshine Concentrate.
It has replaced a wide variety of products on our cabinet shelves since I use it for counter tops and bathrooms (adding Lemon Essential Oil for antimicrobial properties), laundry (grease and stains included), dishes, floors, woodwork, soaking fruits and veggies, shower gel, hand soap, garden fertilizer, car wash and car windshield solution, indoor plants, and most recently I use it in the humidifier to eliminate scum and mineral deposits. By the way, you won't have any soap scum in your showers or at your sinks using this, so it saves on cleaning time too. Sunshine Concentrate goes a long way and takes up less storage space.
You can find a variety of products for home, garden and pets at Planet Natural.
Better Digestion Every Day
The holidays is a time when most of us think about digestion, but you don't have to overeat to have digestive problems. Many people are plagued with them regardless of what they eat. With years of poor eating habits (on the run, while standing, bad dietary choices, drinking sodas with meals, etc.), the digestive system breaks down and you feel the effects of it with digestive symptoms such as acid reflux, belching, bloating, gas, and heartburn. There's more problems linked to digestion than we realize.
As we age, our hydrochloric acid (HCl) production diminishes, so taking anti-acids is not the answer. It only leads to other problems. You need HCl to absorb minerals so soaking up the acid can produce other long-term negative demineralization effects.
Enyzme-deficient foods (not getting enough raw fruits and vegetables), and pancreases that don't produce enough enzymes because it's too busy dealing with all the sugar in our diets, will create an intestinal environment that isn't working. Some people are challenged with not digesting specific foods, which means they don't have the enzymes needed for those foods.
Different enzymes are needed for digestion of carbs, proteins, and fats. Eating a lot of raw foods will do more for your health than provide enzymes, but most people don't take the time to do this and prefer a food enzyme combination that digests all types of foods.
Understanding more about how your digestive system works can give you a better approach to dealing with digestive problems. Finding a long-term solution rather than taking something to "hide the symptom" will make you feel better. Poor digestion causes fatigue, constipation, weight gain, and weakens the immune system.
If you don't digest what you eat, you won't get the nutrients needed to supply your body with the fuel and energy it needs. A poor functioning digestive system has lost some of its ability to turn what's consumed into a product the body can use. The result of that is your brain tells you that you're hungry even though your stomach is not empty.
Improving your digestion affects your entire system. It's not only what you eat that matters, but what is assimilated to the cellular level. Digestion affects sleep patterns. Chronic reflux can lead to esophageal cancer.
Caffeine aggravates heartburn, reflux and ulcers so you might consider the Kick The Caffeine Habit Program at the Teeccino website. We use a Nature's Sunshine product called Herbal Beverage when we want a coffee flavor. I like it for smoothies and to make mocha drinks (with carob for us).
Take some time to learn more about how your digestive system works and make some choices to improve it. All the supplements in the world won't improve your health if they're not being digested and assimilated.
World Health Care Rankings
Seven years ago, the World Health Organization made the first major effort to rank the health systems of 191 nations. France and Italy took the top two spots; the United States was a dismal 37th.
More recently, the highly regarded Commonwealth Fund has pioneered in comparing the United States with other advanced nations through surveys of patients and doctors and analysis of other data. Its latest report, issued in May 2007, ranked the United States last or next-to-last compared with five other nations — Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom — on most measures of performance, including quality of care and access to it.
Other comparative studies also put the United States in a relatively bad light. Read the entire article.
America's Healthiest States Report
Are you healthy? Is your state healthy? Is our nation healthy? Health is at the forefront of our thoughts. We want to stay young, fit and healthy. But while the media and the general populace agree that health is important, many of us don't actually take action to working toward greater health. The 2007 America's Health Ranking report is in.
Antibiotic Resistance Threatens Public Health
Doctors depend on antibiotics to treat illnesses caused by bacteria, from pneumonia to meningitis and other life-threatening infections. The effectiveness of many antibiotics has begun to wane, the legacy of decades of unnecessary overuse in both human medicine and agriculture. Keep Antibiotics Working is a coalition of health, consumer, agricultural, environmental, humane and other advocacy groups with more than nine million members dedicated to eliminating a major cause of antibiotic resistance: the inappropriate use of antibiotics in food animals.

We can't rely on antibiotics to take care of super infections any more. One alternative to the crises is to use Silver Shield. It's been our choice.

Where you injured by Invokana or Invokamet?
You may be able to file an Invokana lawsuit if you or someone you care about experienced any of the following complications and side effects potentially related to canagliflozin, the active ingredient in both of these Type 2 diabetes treatments:
Toe and other lower limb amputations
Hundreds of Invokana and Invokamet lawsuits have already been filed in courts around the U.S., all of which accuse Johnson & Johnson and its Janssen Pharmaceuticals subsidiary of failing to provide doctors and patients with adequate warnings regarding the risks associated with these drugs.
The nationwide law firm of Bernstein Liebhard LLP is offering free, no-obligation case reviews to individuals who may have been injured by Invokana or Invokamet. To contact an experienced Invokana lawyer today, please call 1-877-779-1414.
Invokana and Invokamet
Invokana (canagliflozin) was introduced in March 2013, and was the first SGLT2 inhibitor to be granted regulatory approval by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
Janssen Pharmaceuticals brought Invokamet (canagliflozin and metformin) to market in November 2014.
SGLT2 inhibitors lower blood glucose levels by encouraging the kidneys to absorb more sugar, thus allowing for its elimination via urine.
In 2015, global sales of Invokana and Invokamet totaled more than $1.3 billion.
Invokana and Diabetic Ketoacidosis
In May 2015, the FDA disclosed that it was investigating a possible association between SGLT2 inhibitors and a potentially life-threatening complication called diabetics ketoacidosis.
According to the agency, more than 20 reports of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA, ketoacidosis or ketosis) possibly related to the use of SGLT2 inhibitors had been reported to the FDA adverse event database from March 2013 to June 6, 2014. In all cases, patients required emergency medical care and/or hospitalization to treat the condition.
The following December, the FDA ordered that new warnings be added to the labels for all SGLT2 Inhibitor medications regarding the potential for diabetic ketoacidosis. The agency acted after a further review of its adverse event database identified 73 cases of ketoacidosis among patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors from March 2013 to May 2015.
Two-thirds of those cases – 48 – occurred in patients treated with canagliflozin.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is condition that occurs when toxic acids called ketones accumulate in the blood. Untreated, the condition can lead to diabetic coma or even death.
Symptoms of Ketoacidosis include:
Ketoacidosis
Invokana and Kidney Damage
In December 2015, the FDA also ordered the manufacturers of all SGLT2 inhibitors to update their labels with warnings regarding serious urinary tract infections that can progress to serious kidney infections.
The FDA acted after a review of its adverse event database identified 19 cases of life-threatening blood infections (urosepsis) and kidney infections (pyelonephritis) that started as urinary tract infections among patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors.
All of the incidents occurred between March 2013 through October 2014, and all 19 patients were hospitalized. A few were admitted to the ICU or underwent dialysis to treat kidney failure.
In June 2016, the FDA strengthened existing kidney warnings for canagliflozin (Invokana, Invokamet) and dapagliflozin (Farxiga, Xigduo XR), after the SGLT2 inhibitors were tied to 101 reports of acute kidney injury.
Invokana and Lower Limb Amputations
In May 2017, the FDA confirmed a link between the use of canagliflozin-containing medications and an increased risk of lower limb amputations.
"Based on new data from two large clinical trials, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded that the type 2 diabetes medicine canagliflozin (Invokana, Invokamet, Invokamet XR) causes an increased risk of leg and foot amputations," the agency stated. "We are requiring new warnings, including our most prominent Boxed Warning, to be added to the canagliflozin drug labels to describe this risk."
The FDA advised patients to contact their doctors if they developed new pain or tenderness, sores or ulcers, or infections in the legs or feet, while using a canagliflozin product.
Factors that could increase a patient's risk of lower limb amputations include prior amputation, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Invokana Heart Attacks & Strokes
Results of the CANVAS clinical trial have suggested that Invokana may increase a patients' risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular events by nearly 7-fold during the first 30 days of use.
Months before Invokana was approved, the FDA convened an advisory panel to discuss the medication's safety and possible side effects.
During the meeting, Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, expressed concern that Invokana might place patients at an increased risk for thrombotic events. Among other things, he noted that some patients in Invokana clinical trials had demonstrated elevated hematocrit levels.
Higher levels of hematocrit indicate thicker blood, which can increase the likelihood of blood clots.
When the FDA approved Invokana in March 2013, it ordered Janssen to conduct seven post-market studies, including a clinical trial, to better assess its cardiovascular impacts.
Invokana Lawsuits Centralized in New Jersey Federal Court
In December 2016, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict litigation centralized all federally-filed Invokana and Invokamet lawsuits in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, so that the cases could undergo coordinated discovery and other pretrial proceedings.
Initially, just 56 lawsuits were transferred to the federal Invokana litigation in New Jersey. Nearly a year later, the proceeding had grown to include more than 700 cases.
Plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits over Invokana and Invokamet claim that Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Pharmaceuticals:
Withheld information from the FDA
Misrepresented the risks and benefits associated with canagliflozin
Failed to conduct proper safety studies of the drug
Failed to warn patients about the side effects associated with Invokana and Invokamet
Contact an Invokana Lawyer Today
Individuals who suffered side effects allegedly associated with Invokana or Invokamet may be entitled to compensation for.
Our experienced Invokana lawyers will evaluate your case for free and fully explain all of your legal rights and options. To learn more about filing an Invokana lawsuit, please call our office as soon as possible at 1-877-779-1414.

Sempre nel 1923 e nel 1924 si piazzò secondo nel Campionato Italiano Velocità.

Morì ad Asso in seguito ad incidente avvenuto ad Oliveto Lario, località Onno, nel 1925 durante le prove del Circuito del Lario: la sua Sunbeam 350 si scontrò frontalmente con la Moto Guzzi di Primo Moretti, che rientrava ai box. In sua memoria, l'anno successivo, fu inaugurato un monumento ad Onno.

Lee Min Ho and Suzy Deny Latest Summer 2016 Breakup Rumor
Posted on August 1, 2016 by ockoala
This feels like the umpteenth time I've seen news articles that top Hallyu stars Lee Min Ho and Suzy have broken up. It's not that any sort of breakup news about the couple is surprising to me – he's going off to the military and she's still super young, not to mention both are supremely busy it must make dating difficult. With that said, I also feels like the media is anxious for them to really breakup to have something to write about, and I've always felt that the intense fandom on both sides also want the same thing for their own selfish reasons. I want the two cuties to just date like normal people, who just happen to be extremely pretty and successful. According to the latest breakup rumor, the two have been over for some time due to busy schedules but remain cordial friends. Suzy's agency JYP responded that the breakup rumor is false and the two remain happily dating.
Suzy is currently on the small screen with Uncontrollably Fond with Kim Woo Bin, while Lee Min Ho is readying to return to television in the late fall with Legend of the Blue Sea with Jeon Ji Hyun.

Lol they are still together… Haters back out.
Styles on August 2, 2016 at 1:01 PM said:
they could actually break up, anyways its not benefitting Suzy in her flop drama for the record, hahaha lol
Lolol on August 2, 2016 at 1:22 PM said:
Isnt the drama still rating in the 10's thats not a flop. Thats an avarage. Flop is like below 8
Livi on August 2, 2016 at 3:44 PM said:
Ratings dropped to 8.6%/8.9% for last Wed/Thu.
Quite normal to have single digit ratings nowadays, so flop should be below 5%?
huyit on August 1, 2016 at 12:18 PM said:
Their fans are quite supportive actually from what I've seen. It's just the trash journalists who start this rumor after few months just to get response from their agencies. They get thousands of clicks and comments on Naver everytime with these rumors.
Asta on August 2, 2016 at 10:54 PM said:
Honestly,their fans is awesome. They make si many achievement for support their star(like collect money for save forest in the name of their star,they even defending when somebody criticize him) but yeah sorry to say they star need progress in his or her career acting. I hope somebody tell suzy for learn more.
Kingfu on August 1, 2016 at 1:34 PM said:
The stars do not want any attention about their personal life. It is ridiculous that those journalist release the news without even checking with their agencies?
Hope Airen on August 1, 2016 at 2:58 PM said:
Meh, I bet reporters wanted a reaction from their agencies and so they wrote the reports of them splitting up. I kind of think they'll last long.
That aside, am I the only one who thinks they look a lot alike? I read somewhere that a perfect match looks alike both physically and personnality.

I've always thought that LMH and Suzy are very compatible, in more ways than one. They should act in the same drama, it will be a riot!
Drama2016 on August 5, 2016 at 9:04 AM said:
OMG! What a brilliant idea. LOL..I got a lot of fun laughing during my break from work. Thanks.
Tyn123 on August 1, 2016 at 3:03 PM said:
Rather than break up news ai want to read more dating news. More lovebirds to cheer for.
LMH side denied as well btw.
For some reason I don't find it odd that people believe they will break up. It's not even due to the age difference because IU and her BF has a wider gap. Maybe it's because we haven't seen them together properly and don't see the similarities to understand why or how they fell for each other beyond their good looks.
Like the story of how LMH was chasing her after he saw her on TV, he was looking for ppl to introduce them. Don't know how true that is but would that make it love at first sight? Or he just likes the way she looks?
Suzy I can kind of understand, he wore her down with his attention and concern so she finally accepted him. According to.rumours anyway.
And thats the problem, their whole relationship is based around rumours of how it happened. Besides the 1st evidence there has been nothing else, sightings without picture proof. There are some people out there who believes the whole relationship is a publicity stunt.
Nothing we can do about it anyway. So every few months a break up article comes out so we can check in on them to make sure they are still together.
GM on August 2, 2016 at 5:36 AM said:
Fan fiction 😂
i agree with you, just look at how fast Suzy's agency reacted, its like they are in a hurry out of desperation to save face their talent and their agency. just imagine the benefit on endorsement deals they must be getting with their own talent so-called dating the most famous Hallyu star. but you see, the people catch up, if you dont have enough talent to show, just save your dating PR strategy to yourself, there's enough fly or insect hitchhikers on the back of the elephant for it to feel super and might lol!
candycane on August 1, 2016 at 7:04 PM said:
good if they are still together, since their fans accept it. But if they are now with someone else, will they reveal it? it will be stupid to jump ships if fans are so naïve to accept what they believe is the so-called truth… whoever they end up with, who cares, it won't be with you!
Scar99 on August 4, 2016 at 3:32 PM said:
@ candycane. Don't you think it is odd or creepy, a girl just out of her teens being seen spending three days in a hotel with a male much older then her, they just being dating for a month? What should we say? Is the man a predator or the girl is fresh? This is real world not a drama.
hmmm… is she still "fresh"?… LOL… earning publicity by spreading dating rumors is such cheap tricks… maybe this is just an act from the agency… the artists are the victims as well? 🤔
mimi on August 1, 2016 at 7:06 PM said:
I believe they're already broke up despite the denial. Just wait until UF finish airing.
Liz on August 1, 2016 at 7:17 PM said:
Fans recently spotted them eating Together. If it was for Suzy drama break Up would better for drama
Another Liz on August 2, 2016 at 12:43 PM said:
Whenever I see news like this I think of the drama Greatest Love, when Cha Seung Won and Yoo In Na's characters are pretending to still be dating even though they can't stand each other. Such a hilarious drama.
I don't pretend to know whether these two are still dating or not, but if they are, props to them for lasting under such intense scrutiny from the public.
FlopSuzy on August 2, 2016 at 3:27 PM said:
The pairing with KWB is flop. KWB even apologized. Everyone is moving one from a flop drama. Better be attached to someone else than a flop drama partner. That's why they need to let that love affair appear again. Hello London.
Drama2016 on August 2, 2016 at 7:14 PM said:
So dining out with bf while her leading man came out to apologize for bad rating. She is the one supposed to apologize. LOL
That was Kim Won Bin and his girlfriend . Everytime LMH has an activity overseas, and the international media is covering his activities , they try to bring his (?) relationship (?) to the spotlight . Is this to try to affect LMH popularity in a negative way(since he never spoke about this girl,), or it is to try to bring this girl to the international spotlight ? Wrong approach. Better , tell the girl is PSH's cousin, friend, or fan, and she will get immediately international popularity and acceptance .lol
LL on August 1, 2016 at 10:07 PM said:
From day1 I don't believe they are in relationship…anyway let see how far they can go.
young on August 2, 2016 at 9:10 AM said:
LMH almost 30s he not going find another young woman like suzy. he going get as much sweet from suzy as possible till he dump her.
I can understand Suzy needing a publicity relationship but why woulf LMH? Why would he choose an idol for a fake relationship over an actress? Koreans respect actresses over idols. What is he lacking that he even needs to go to the length of faking a relationship when it potentially could have pissed off his fandom?
I can understand why people who say that they broke up but are pretending to still be together because it may seem that everything is going wrong in Suzy's life right now. But regardless everything said is just assumption until proven with evidence
Mango Panacota on August 3, 2016 at 4:09 PM said:
Dont think LMH needs publicity, he is all famous. He just probably want to share his fame who knows, or he could be close friends with JYP the President of Suzy's agency, they might have some different kind of arrangements just between them. but you see in showbizness, its rare for real love to bloom, mostly its about PR strategy and money making, so dont be gullible, dating is just dating, its different when they end up marrying that's when we know its for real!
LOLOL on August 4, 2016 at 9:30 AM said:
I know that entertainment industry has fake relationships all the time. However usually there is always something to gain for both parties. In LMH and Suzy's case only one person benefits. In fact LMH loses more. HE has more fans than her. Whats worse is that he has fan girls who want Oppa to be theirs forever.I just think its a big risk for him to make for a favor if lets say he was doing it for JYP as a favor. More importantly there were rumors about them being in hotesl etc. when dispatch first outted them. Those rumors if they were not handled carefully could have ended Suzy's nation's first love image. The whole thing is just risky and the reason to fake a relationship in the first place makes no sense.
Lovedramas on August 2, 2016 at 6:26 PM said:
I have no idea what really is going on nor do I care much. However, it does kinda remind me of the SHK HB breakup that they didn't officially announce after he went to the army. Timing is a PR thing.
If they are happy together and it works, awesome for Suzy and LMH… It'd be nice to see high profile young folks still working things out – it's not easy. And if not, they move on… All the best to them.
Media play big time. It is disgusting . So many articles to bring the girl to spotlight And make people feel sorry, so they can watch the drama. However can sale. W is the best, that is a reality.i try to watch UF , and that girl Suzy should stick with cf, it is a shame for real actors.
agree, agree totally… why generate more publicity when the talent is non-existent?! who cares who they are with?! we want to watch real dramas, good acting… that's what actors & actresses are paid to do, not for dating!!
While LMH said recently his ideal type was Song Hye Kyo. LOL
Black Forest on August 3, 2016 at 4:19 PM said:
quite the opposite of Suzy ha, she's only pretty on printed photoshopped pictures, but the reality is revealed on moving cameras or on screen, not that charming, big cheekbones and unflattering teeth, to be honest. why is she given much exposure by the way, is Suzy the only left idol, the best S.Korea can offer the world?? time to think about that for sure.
Asta on August 2, 2016 at 8:12 PM said:
So, what should i do? Make a pom pom or start learn dance hula-hula. Pffft… Why everytime their movie or drama not success,their dating news out in public?
Rockyroad on August 2, 2016 at 8:22 PM said:
Poor this Suzy girl. When it turns flop, most of the blame is put on her. This is the very first drama project of KWB as the main lead, isn't it? From the beginning, haven't people have put too much expectation on a model-turned actor who hasn't got much experience as drama main leads, and so far has just starred in some movies of modest box office results? Then, of course, it should be KWB who makes this apology. Suzy fans could have the same right to blame the flop with the same reasons: bad co-star, bad plot. Don't tell me it would be better if it wasn't her as his costar, lol.
By the way, making an apology for the flop when the filming is still going on is something not right unless apology for a related controversy/ scandal. It couldn't make things better. Should have kept his mouth shut and kept going to the end, then he could confess anything he wished.
Opps, sorry, just double checked and this drama was finished filming. Apology for KWB fans for my opinion on his apology thingy. Other comments of mine remain the same.
By far I still see the fault on Suzy's uncontrollably bad acting to blame. LOL…Don't think anyone else or anything else is justifiable for her way below-par acting. KWB has been doing well. I'm not a fan of KWB or Suzy nor do I have any emotional attachment to either one. So I can speak fairly. I can't say UF would have been doing better with another leading lady but definitely wouldn't have been worse. LOL
Rockyroad on August 3, 2016 at 1:37 AM said:
LoL, I fail to find what you rely on to justify your opinion that "KWB has been doing well" and "wouldn't have been better and definitely wouldn't have been worse". How well? To your own standards? Or better than Suzy means well? And "Not better not worse" means similar, dear. Based on what you say, I can see that even a more recognised actress wouldn't have made it better than Suzy if given that role. Then why does Suzy get blame? Sorry, your opinion just doesn't make sense to me at all.

This guys are not into any relationship it so obvious
This guys are not into any relationship it so obvious why are people like kwb and sma not being plagued with breakup rumors because it obvious they are dating i think it a matter of time when suzy was asked about lmh during the presscon she kept mum she even said i av a personal xperience of her character p.s fake dating between her character and kwb
jhon on August 3, 2016 at 1:17 PM said:
would be funny if suzy company media play for people to watch her drama cuz they know more people are leaving to watch W
Da on August 4, 2016 at 5:26 AM said:
The amount of bitter people in this comment section is unbelievable. They said the world is coming to end. It must be true then. I pity all of u. Life must be hard nowadays.
DramaQueen on August 4, 2016 at 7:51 AM said:
I don't think it is so much he bad acting – she just doesn't have stage presence. I am not a fan of KWB but I like to watch him on screen. I don't think he is doing too bad in UF but Suzy is just plain boring. She should stick to being an idol and do her song and dance.

I have a unique vantage point to the rental market since I help many clients purchase investment properties in our area and assist in renting them. Because of this, I'm privy to a large data set in terms of pricing, demand and trends across multiple communities and price ranges. This is data most real estate professionals do no track or have visibility, so it gives an edge to my clients.
Some may say it is just the time of year: school is back in session, so everyone planning to move has done it. But schools are not the only driving factor of rentals and quite frankly I see plenty of homes being considered by childless families. I have witnessed a slowing trend all year; the first sign was in late April. Historically this is when the rental market is picking up: you prepare the property to move-in ready condition, list it for rent (at a fair market price) and then have ten applications within 48 hours. This is how it is in the valley, right? To my surprise people only trickled in to see this particular property and just didn't have the urgency to make a move. At first, maybe this property was an anomaly – the current tenant pool didn't want a newer property that was walkable to Caltrain and Downtown Mountain View. But then I began seeing it on subsequent properties for lease: condos, single family homes, apartments – across price ranges from $1,200 – $12,000/month. I quickly communicated this observation to my clients in order to make the appropriate adjustments.
I am not advocating being in a crumbling rental market, but I am telling a cautionary tale to Landlords who may be over-exuberant on their projected lease rates or those of my clients considering buying an investment property. When the rental market is plateauing you do not want to continue the annual rental increase, unless you are significantly under-market. If your tenants begin shopping around they may recognize comparable values and may either look to move or ask for a number of improvements. If you are keeping up with your market and have a reasonable rate, all should stay calm.
For those interested in an investment property, keep this in mind: Rental rates have been on a hot streak just like home prices, but when rental values swing, it can significantly impact your monthly cash flow. Rental rates increased through 2015, but the data I am seeing this year won't be aggregated until next year. Therefore, we should be conservative on the rental analysis and even anticipate a drop when considering an investment purchase. If my observations are across the board (and I think it is), next year figures will show this change to the market.
I have given you an anecdotal story of the rental market, but where is my data to support it? Our rental market is quite different from other parts of the country whereas we do not have a good repository of historical data. In other areas the rental properties are managed similar to resales and the real estate professionals assist landlords in placing tenants, so the inventory data is tracked more accurately.
Finding rentals in the valley usually include: a sign in front of the home, Craigslist, Zillow, property management company, a friend, etc. – there are a number of sources to find a property, but once they are leased there is no source to maintain the lease terms for reference. You might think that Zillow has this information because they give you an estimated value on rent for any given property, but this data is not accurate. I know this because they do not have a good source of information – junk in, junk out. I think the data integrity on Zillow is lacking since there is no check and balance. For example, the real estate Multiple Listing Service (MLS) requires each member to participate in sharing accurate transaction data within a certain amount of time (72 hours) or fines will be incurred. The data can be verified through county records as well as the members themselves. Nothing similar exists on Zillow. Since the MLS is not a main source for finding rental properties, there is no single source to aggregate the information. Fortunately, I keep a close eye on the rental market as I think it is a key indicator to the overall health of our economy. I am always happy to have a discussion with you of what I'm seeing day to day.
Why is the rental market slowing?
Homeowners have listed their homes for sale and have not obtained an acceptable price to sell (comparing values to 2015, which seems to be the peak). A Seller wants to sell equal or greater to their neighbor that sold last May, but when they list their home and the offers do not come in as anticipated, they decide to pull the home from selling and decide to rent it out (I am interested to see how long they keep the home in the rental pool, i.e. 6 months, 1, 2, 3 years or indefinitely). This increases the inventory to the rental pool.
We are seeing a shift in migration – for the first time since 2011, we had a net loss of new residents (we lost more residents than we gained). I recognized this trend earlier this year as I noticed a shift to our aggressive rental market and as I asked around other industry leaders I heard the same thing. The Silicon Valley Competitiveness and Innovation Project is a great resource to this information, though it is delayed. The day-to-day data I collect offers my clients the timeliest information, so we can make adjustments and calculated decisions. Fewer people moving in means less demand and as we see increased inventory (new homes in the rental pool) the vacancy rate will increase.
Moving is never fun and there is a cost associated with it. Individuals are focused on day-to-day life and with a perception that the rental market is crazy hot, they are less likely to move. A good amount of activity is individuals leap-frogging around properties, but when prices reach a certain point, people just hold their current rental home and deal with any inconveniences it may have (size, condition, location, etc.). Once the rental prices come down these people will be more likely to move into a better situation. I am also seeing more housemate situations to ease the burden of high prices. This phenomenon decreases the number of home units being rented.
There has always been a demand for short-term rentals: new to the area, in the process of buying/selling a house, remodeling your existing home. These tenants are usually very motivated and want to get in as soon as possible, but I haven't seen many of these prospective tenants this year. Did they disappear? I think they moved into short-term Airbnb rentals or equivalent. I noticed this when a number of my clients that were new to the area told me they were temporarily renting an Airbnb home while we shopped for a property to purchase. I did not hear this in 2015, hence why I think it is a new thing (and a good idea at that). It is not clear the amount of impact, but I expect to hear more people following suit with this creative solution.
It is important to watch what happens to the rental market because it is an indicator to home sales. When rent values reach a state of critical mass, prospective tenants consider buying rather than renting. In the current climate with ridiculously low interest rates and a calming market, you may have a recipe for more tenants moving into home-ownership (or at least keeping their options more flexible) within the next twelve to twenty-four months. You want to be cautiously optimistic in your real estate plans – figure out what is best for your financial plan and be prepared to execute. Whether you are thinking about something now or down the road, I want you to be prepared as possible.
