THE VALUE IN BUILDING LIFE-LONG RELATIONSHIPS
A SPECIAL DEDICATION TO MR. AL WIEBE Al Wiebe, or Mr. Wiebe as many students knew him, was an exceptionally popular teacher at Kelvin High School. He was never my teacher, but I got to know him well through my participation in school musicals. He was one of those teachers that everyone loved, whether they were in his class or not. Not only was he an incredible mentor, role model and support to his students at school, his influence extended years after his students left Kelvin. He played an active role in planning school reunions and he stayed in touch with hundreds of his former students. He continued to be a positive force throughout the lives of the people he was a role model to, and is the perfect example of how and why mentoring can change lives. About five years ago, I reconnected with Al on Facebook. He and his wife, Darcy, saw a story about me in the Winnipeg Free Press and he wanted to congratulate me. During that exchange I realized what an incredible following he had on Facebook – I also learned that he was battling cancer. Al's strength and positive attitude during his long battle against cancer was inspiring to many, and it was the support that he received from his legacy of people that kept him going as long as he did. Al's genuine interest in other people guided him through his life and ultimately became his source of strength during his most challenging days. Al Wiebe passed away in July, but his legacy will live on through the teachers, students and parents he inspired. He was an incredible mentor and will be forever missed.

Text by Yoko Chapman he act of mentoring is sharing your life experiences to help others realize their own potential, set goals and learn from your example and knowledge. It means offering support, empowerment and motivation to help people establish a vision of where they want to go, and who they hope to be. When you mentor, you are investing in others and the act of sincerely caring whether they fail or succeed can make all the difference. Many business owners become mentors as a way to give back and pay it forward. When you mentor, you become a catalyst for change and you'll often make a friend for life. There is no greater feeling in business than to watch a protégé reach the height of their success because of your support. Often mentors gain the most out of the relationship, growing their support network, gaining new experiences and learning new skills from tomorrow's leaders. For this issue, I went in search of prolific Winnipeg mentors and found four people who have impacted dozens of lives. I've noticed that often the people who give the most don't even know it; they consider themselves to be the ones who have gained. This group fits that description to a tee. I hope you enjoy learning more about the following four individuals: Doug Stephen, WOW! Hospitality Concepts Inc. Sharing experience and wisdom to empower up-and-coming restaurateurs Joelle Foster, Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF) Tirelessly supporting entrepreneurs and business owners Nigel Bart, Artbeat Studio Helping artists with mental illness survive and thrive Leslie Lounsbury, SAY Magazine Giving Aboriginal youth a place to learn and grow
The best part about mentoring is that any one of us can be a mentor. Think about what you have to offer and the wisdom that you could share. We all have the ability to make an impact on at least one person's life, possibly even thousands. If you're interested in becoming a mentor, charities and government career start programs offer a great place to start. You can also get involved in business or community organizations where you will meet people that can benefit from your knowledge and experience. Lastly, contact a mentoring program within your community, as there is always a demand for people who can help. The Canadian Youth Business Foundation is currently looking for additional volunteers.

NBC Announces 'The Wiz' Live Musical
by Maggie Malach March 30, 2015 5:34 PM | PopCrush
If you loved the live musical version of Sound of Music, we've got very good news for you! NBC announced a live telecast of The Wiz.
Variety reports the iconic musical is set to air on Thursday, Dec. 3. Following the live event, the play will be revived on Broadway for the 2016–2017 season. One of the coolest aspects of the news is that the musical will be co-produced by Cirque du Soleil's new stage theatrical division. We can only imagine the creativity and artistry that the partnership will bring.
Kenny Leon is set to direct both the television and the Broadway productions, although neither casting was announced.
"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to not only produce this as our next live musical for NBC, but to then see it move to Broadway for a new generation to experience," executive producer Craig Zadan said.
His fellow executive producer Neil Meron added, "It will be a joy to work again with Kenny Leon, who did Steel Magnolias and Raisin in the Sun with us."
The live television performance of The Wiz follows the two successful revivals of Sound of Music, which starred Carrie Underwood, and Peter Pan Live, which starred Allison Williams.
"We love this yearly tradition and we're more excited than ever to not only bring another Broadway musical to America's living rooms, but also see it land on Broadway as well," Robert Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman, said. "It's a natural next step for our live musical events and we're so pleased to be in business with this award-winning creative team and Scott Zeiger, President and Managing Director of Cirque du Soleil's new theatrical division. Cirque's incredible imagination will help bring the fantasy world of Oz vividly to life and give this great show a modern spin on the age-old story we all love."

My chapter on enhancement and disability for the Oxford Handbook on Philosophy and Disability is now published and available online. Check it out!
Transhumanist arguments in support of radical human enhancement are inimical to disability justice projects. Transhumanist thinkers, the strongest promoters of human enhancement, and fellow travelers who claim enhancement is a moral obligation, make arguments that rely on the denigration of disabled embodiment and lives. These arguments link disability with risk. The promotion of human enhancement is therefore open to significant disability critique despite transhumanism's claims to allyship with disability justice activism. This chapter lays out such a disability critique of enhancement and further supports its claims by describing bioethics, and therefore transhumanism, as biopolitical in the sense Michel Foucault uses the term. Finally, this chapter develops an alternative vision of enhancement. This alternative vision poses a disability-inclusive future, accepts the risks of embodiment, and lays groundwork for a counterdiscourse of enhancement.
In September, my book The Bioethics of Enhancement came out in paperback! Check it out at the new, much lower price! If you'd like me to send you an additional discount let me know.
Happy New Year! Help me celebrate the new year with a glance at my new work, the blog BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY!
Shelley Tremain and I are launching this blog today with the hope for a deeply politically engaged conversation featuring marginalized voices in philosophy about social and political issues and justice. I can't wait to get started!
To begin, check out my post on the new movie Bird Box and disability and Shelley's draft of new work on feminist philosophy of science, Foucault, and disability! We will post CFPs (there are some up already) and links to new work in marginalized philosophy and beyond.
Soon, you can also start following us on Twitter @biopoliticalph (I had a bit of a Twitter account hiccup, but we'll be back up and running again soon) and right away you can join our re-christened Facebook group, BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY, formerly home of the Discrimination and Disadvantage community. If you are a WordPress user or just like a good blog feed, consider becoming a follower of our website itself, too (option available on the homepage).
The blog will be the home of Shelley's acclaimed interviews with disabled philosophers, Dialogues on Disability. Her first interview in this venue will go live on January 16th at 8 am. So much exciting stuff is in the works! I am thrilled about this new philosophical (ad)venture.
I am thrilled to announce a new philosophical venture, undertaken with Shelley Tremain. In January, we will launch a blog entitled BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.
Will be home to Dialogues on Disability, the acclaimed series of interviews that Tremain is conducting with disabled philosophers and posts to the blog on a monthly basis.
More details to follow in the coming weeks!
I was recently quoted in a story for the Washington Times by Christian Toto about the #MeToo movement's uptake in Hollywood, and whether or not there is a liberal bias driving actors' willingness to call out public figures.
•	I think those in the industry should acknowledge that sexual assault and abuse is not a partisan issue. Hollywood activists use their influence, often, to encourage votes on particular issues and for particular candidates. They should carefully consider that these two issues are separate and present them as such. We should, on the one hand, pursue better policies and candidates that can contribute to an improved sexual culture and work on behalf of oppressed persons, but we should also remember that, on the other hand, doing so does not automatically equal a vote for a particular party.
•	The #MeToo movement – in Hollywood and beyond – should consider the following two points in order to be a movement for justice and to take into account the fuller picture of sexual abuse and assault. First, the #MeToo movement often rhetorically relies on the threat of incarceration or related punishment for those who are accused of committing sexual assault. I would protest that mass incarceration is a major injustice and that a feminism that contributes to that injustice by regularly calling for imprisonment is no feminism at all. Further, discussion around imprisonment shows that we have not fully dealt with the embedded nature of sexual abuse in our culture – often, people joke about those in prison getting what's coming to them (i.e., being sexually assaulted in prison). We should refuse these kinds of jokes to better tackle the depth of our complicity in our culture of abuse. Second, the #MeToo movement is heavily focused on the workplace as the site of sexual abuse and assault. Yet, many people are abused at home, by loved ones, and – in the case of disabled people – by caregivers. In fact, disabled people (who are largely unemployed) are twice as likely or more to be sexually abused in their lifetimes. The #MeToo movement needs to help the general public get clearer on where sexual abuse occurs, and how to fight it – especially in more intimate settings than the workplace.
I was informed today that my piece, "Obscured Social Construction as Epistemic Harm" is among the Journal of Social Philosophy's top article downloads in the last two years. Exciting! The article is part of Shelley Tremain's excellent special issue on disability and the polis, published last year. Check it out.
Melinda C. Hall (Ph.D., Vanderbilt University) is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Stetson University. She specializes in bioethics, Continental philosophy, and the philosophy of disability. Hall is the author of The Bioethics of Enhancement: Transhumanism, Disability, and Biopolitics (Lexington Books 2016). The book draws on the work of Michel Foucault to demonstrate that disability is central to the debate over human enhancement. Hall's academic research is also published in Disability Studies Quarterly, International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics, and Philosophy Compass, among other venues. Hall is the co-director of the Community Education Project, Stetson's higher education in prison program. She also coordinates the blog BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY with Shelley Tremain.

Blood biopsy: New technique enables detailed genetic analysis of cancer cells
sciencedaily.com 15 May 2019 at 11:08
A new way to cleanly separate out cancer cells from a blood sample enables comprehensive genetic profiling of the cancer cells, which could help doctors target tumors and monitor treatments more effectively.
It is a dramatic improvement over current approaches because it also encompasses the variation among cancer cells within a single patient.
"This could be a whole different ball game," said Max Wicha, the Madeline and Sidney Forbes Professor of Oncology at the University of Michigan and senior physician on the study in Nature Communications.
Earlier techniques meant a trade-off between a comprehensive genetic profile of a limited subset of cancer cells, or capturing most of the cancer cells and only being able to look for a few genes. As a result, the genetic profiles often neglected important populations of cancer cells -- including cells believed to spread cancer in the body.
"Our chip allows us to capture pure circulating tumor cells and then extract genetic information without any contamination from red and white blood cells," said Euisik Yoon, U-M professor of electrical engineering and computer science and senior author on the study.
Many modern cancer drugs work by going after cells with certain genes in play -- genes that flag their identities as cancer cells. But these genes aren t uniformly active in a patient s cancer cell population and can change over the course of treatment.
Repeated biopsies to monitor the tumor are painful and potentially dangerous for the patient. Capturing cancer cells from blood samples offers a noninvasive way to observe whether the cancer is disappearing or whether it is becoming resistant to the treatment.
"It allows you not only to select targeted therapies, but to monitor the effects of these therapies in patients by doing this blood test," Wicha said.
Using this method, the team collected and analyzed 666 cancer cells from the blood of 21 breast cancer patients.
The genetic analysis confirmed that even within a single patient, the cancer cells often behave very differently. Wicha s group has previously shown that cancer metastasis is mediated by cancer cells that have the properties of stem cells. Although cancer stem cells make up only a few percent of a tumor s cells, they make up a higher proportion of the cancer cells in the bloodstream. In this study, about 30-50% of the cancer cells captured from the blood samples displayed stem-like properties.
This population is particularly easy to miss with techniques that capture clean-but-incomplete samples of cancer cells from patient blood by grabbing onto proteins on the cells surfaces. Stem-like cells are on a spectrum between two more-typical cell types, which means that they don t display consistent protein markers.
To get a clean and unbiased set of cancer cells from a vial of blood, the team started with a technique that removes blood cells by sorting the blood sample according to cell size. Starting with about one cancer cell in a billion blood cells, this step left only about 95 or so blood cells for every cancer cell. But that s still far too contaminated for a detailed genetic analysis.
The new method, which the researchers call Hydro-Seq, gets rid of those last blood cells and then analyzes each cell.
The key technology is a chip with a system of channels and chambers. It traps cancer cells one at a time by drawing fluid through a drain in each chamber, which gets plugged when a cancer cell arrives. Once the chamber is plugged, cells in the channel pass it by and get sucked into the next chamber. Then, to "wash" the blood cells off the chip, they ran clean fluid backward through the chip and drew it out again, taking nearly all the rest of the contaminating cells along.
With a clean sample of isolated cancer cells, the team did the genetic profiles. They went after the cells "transcriptomes" -- basically, snapshots of what DNA was being read and used by each cell. This revealed the cells active genes.
They captured the transcriptomes with barcoded beads, a method that until now was difficult to use with small cell samples. The team dropped a barcoded bead into each chamber and then closed the chambers before destroying the cell membranes. This released the RNA -- the little bits of genetic code recently read from the cell s DNA -- so that the RNA attached to barcoded genetic code on the bead. The team could then analyze the contents of each cell separately.
"Before, we could measure two or three genes at a time with staining methods, but now we get a comprehensive picture of circulating tumor cells by measuring thousands of genes in each cell at once," said Yu-Chih Chen, U-M assistant research scientist in electrical engineering and computer science and co-first author on the study.
Cancer treatment can be a moving target, with cancers changing their gene expression as drugs kill off some cells but not others. Monika Burness, U-M assistant professor of internal medicine at and co-author on the study, expects to be using the new device to track the progress of patients in an upcoming drug trial.
"It s a very powerful tool to monitor -- at the cellular level -- what a treatment does to tumors over time," said Burness, who studies new drug therapies for cancer patients.
The study is published open-access in Nature Communications.
Wicha is also director of the Forbes Institute for Cancer Discovery. Yoon is also a professor of biomedical engineering. Chen is also an emerging scholar at the Forbes Institute for Cancer Discovery.

Une extension de Kan est une construction catégorique universelle qui apparaît naturellement dans de nombreuses situations. Elle tient son nom du mathématicien Daniel Kan, qui a défini de telles extensions à partir de limites.

Les autres constructions universelles (limites, adjonctions et foncteurs représentables) peuvent s'écrire en termes d'extensions de Kan, et réciproquement. L'importance de ces extensions est la plus manifeste en théorie des catégories enrichies.

L'idée est qu'étant donnés un foncteur , et un foncteur , une extension de Kan de F le long de p est le « meilleur » foncteur qui fait commuter le diagramme

c'est-à-dire qui étend le domaine de F selon p.

Définition globale par adjonction
Soit p : C → C' un foncteur, il induit pour toute catégorie D le foncteur

sur la catégorie des foncteurs, qui envoie tout foncteur h : C' → D sur le foncteur composé
.

Si le foncteur  admet un adjoint à gauche, on le note  ou  et on l'appelle extension de Kan à gauche le long de p. Si  admet un adjoint à droite, on le note  ou  et on l'appelle extension de Kan à droite le long de p. On peut écrire
.

Les foncteurs  et , lorsqu'ils existent, sont obtenus comme adjonctions c'est-à-dire au travers d'une construction universelle : ils sont donc uniques à isomorphisme près et on parle de l'extension de Kan, au singulier, respectivement à gauche et à droite de F le long de p.

Il est dans certains cas possible de définir des extensions de Kan à droite (respectivement à gauche) point par point en termes de limites ou de fins (respectivement de colimites ou de cofins). Les extensions ainsi définies sont parfois qualifiées d'extensions fortes.

Exemples

 Si E est un objet terminal de Cat, alors l'extension de Kan à droite (respectivement à gauche) correspond à la limite (respectivement la colimite) : . En conséquence, tout ce qui a trait aux limites est un exemple d'extension de Kan.
 Si D = Set, alors les extensions de Kan correspondent à l'image directe et réciproque des préfaisceaux.
 La réalisation géométrique d'un foncteur est son extension de Kan à gauche le long du plongement de Yoneda.

Q: Android: Running applications How to come to know that other applications are running in a device to my application so that using my application i can kill other running application. Is it possible in andrioid?
Thanks in advance

A: You could see them like that:
activityManager = (ActivityManager) this
                    .getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
            arylistTask = new ArrayList<String>();
            List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> mRunningTasks =
            activityManager.getRunningTasks(30);

but I don't quite sure wether you can kill them.
I wander that  As your answer @Aki ,how some Task Manage App worked? Just for curious.

A: // Get currently running application processes
    List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> list = servMng.getRunningAppProcesses();
    if(list != null){
     for(int i=0;i<list.size();++i){
      if("com.android.email".matches(list.get(i).processName)){
       int pid = android.os.Process.getUidForName("com.android.email");
             android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);
      }else{
       mTextVIew.append(list.get(i).processName + "\n");
      }
     }
    }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // Get currently running service
    List<ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo> list = servMng.getRunningServices(1024);
    if(list != null){
     for(int i=0;i<list.size();++i){
      mTextVIew.append(list.get(i).service.getClassName() + "\n");
     }
    }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // Get currently running tasks
    List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> list = servMng.getRunningTasks(1024);
    if(list != null){
     for(int i=0;i<list.size();++i){
      mTextVIew.append(list.get(i).toString() + "\n");
     }
    }

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This example captures the Android Native "back" button event from the hardware back button and prompts the user "do you really want to leave my app" and if the user selects "yes" it kills the App.
 @Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    //Handle the back button
    if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
        //Ask the user if they want to quit
        new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setIcon(android.R.drawable.exclamationpoint)
        .setTitle("Exit?")
        .setMessage("You are about to exit the Application. " +
                     "Do you really want to exit?")
        .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
             @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                //Stop the activity
                 //maintenancetabs.this.finish();
                 int pid = android.os.Process.myPid();
                 android.os.Process.killProcess(pid);
                }
         })
        .setNegativeButton("No", null)
        .show();
         return true;
    }     else {
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }
 }

A: It is definitely not possible to kill other running applications from your application. That would be a huge security issue.

UNESCO - World Heritage Sites
In 1994, this castle complex, comprising the renaissance castle, St. Servatius Collegiate Church with its famous cathedral treasure, the thousand-year-old St. Wipertikirche crypt and the ruins of the Marienkloster, as well as the historic Old Town with its 2,069 half-timbered houses from eight different centuries, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites owing to their extraordinary cultural significance.
The thousand-year-old town of Goslar is located on the northern edge of the Harz mountains and, thanks to its historic character, cultural treasures and beautiful town centre, it is a popular holiday destination among tourists and culture vultures. In 1992, Goslar's Old Town and the Rammelsberg ore mine were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Rammelsberg ore mine is the only mine in the world to have been in continuous operation for more than a thousand years. Today, visitors can experience various tours and great events at the museum and exhibition mine. An equally exciting attraction is the Imperial Palace of Goslar, which was built between 1040 and 1050 under Henry III and is now home to an extensive exhibition on the history of itinerant rule in the region. The Imperial Palace is a unique monument of secular architecture, and the heart of Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor, who died in 1056, is still there, buried under a grave slab in the adjoining southern chapel.
Upper Harz Water Management
The world's largest and most important structure of ponds and ditches, and the essential power source for the Upper Harz mines. It supplied hydroelectric power, which was mainly used for extracting ore and operating the pumps. 107 ponds, 310 km of ditches and 30 km of underground watercourses are preserved to this day, of which 65 ponds, 70 km of ditches and 20 km of watercourses are actually still in operation. On hiking trails and narrow paths, in mines and at the ZisterzienserMuseum at Walkenried Monastery, visitors can discover this very special World Heritage Site, where culture and nature come together.
The Romanesque Road
The Romanesque Road is a scenic route more than 1,000 km long that leads through Saxony-Anhalt. Notable stops on the Romanesque Road in the Wernigerode region include the Halberstadt Cathedral & cathedral treasures, Drübeck Abbey, St. Servatius Collegiate Church in Quedlinburg, Ballenstedt Castle and Michaelstein Abbey in Blankenburg.

El lago Goose (, literalmente, 'lago del Ganso') es un lago glacial alcalino estadounidense que se encuentra en el valle homónimo en la frontera entre los estados de Oregón y California, y pertenece a la cuenca del río Pit, un afluente del río Sacramento.

Geografía
La parte norte del lago se encuentra en el condado de Lake, en Oregón, y la parte sur se encuentra en el condado de Modoc, en California. Las montañas en el extremo norte del lago forman parte del bosque nacional de Fremont y el extremo sur del lago se encuentra junto a las tierras del bosque nacional de Modoc. La mayor parte de propiedades del valle alrededor del lago son tierras agrícolas privadas, aunque en el lado de Oregón hay un área recreacional estatal Goose Lake (Goose Lake State Recreation Area).

El lago Goose es el centro de una cuenca hidrográfica semi-cerrada. Su cuenca es normalmente endorreica, pero durante los períodos de aguas altas que siguen a las fuertes lluvias o el deshielo a veces desemboca en el río Pit, que forma parte de la cuenca del río Sacramento. Durante los años 1970 y 1980 el USGS consideró el lago Goose como parte de la cuenca del Sacramento, pero ha redefinido la cuenca como una cuenca cerrada.

El lago se secó completamente en los años 1851, 1852, 1926, 1929-1934, 1992, 2009 y 2013. Anteriormente, el lago Goose era la fuente ordinaria del río Pit, que desemboca en el río Sacramento en California, pero la desviación del agua ha provocado que el nivel del lago baje su salida. La fuente del río Pit está ahora al sur del lago Goose y la salinidad del lago está aumentando, amenazando las poblaciones de peces. Durante los raros niveles de agua altas, el lago Goose todavía se derrama en el río del Pit.

El lago Goose es parte de una vaguada geológica, la Walker Lane, que se extiende desde Oregón al sur pasando por el valle de la Muerte.

Usos recreativos

El lago Goose atrae a observadores de naturaleza, campistas y practicantes de deportes de remo. Es el hábitat de muchas flora y fauna, como el achichilique occidental, zarapito americano, y una gran manada de ciervos mulo que pasan gran parte del tiempo en la zona de acampada 48.

El parque ofrece duchas de agua caliente, áreas verdes adecuadas para la acampada, sitios pavimentados, árboles de sombra, chimeneas, conexiones eléctricas, de teléfono, y una estación de descarga. El camping está abierto de mediados de abril a mediados de octubre. Las actividades recreativas en, o alrededor del lago, incluyen kayak, piragüismo y caza, pero no pesca. Cuando el lago está lleno, tiene una profundidad máxima de .

Historia
El lago está situado cerca de la histórica ruta del Fandango Pass utilizada para la llegada a California de colonos en el siglo XIX. A mitad de ese siglo XIX, sobre todo durante la fiebre del oro de California, el atajo Applegate-Lassen (Applegate-Lassen Cut-Off) de la ruta de California dejaba la vía principal cerca del actual embalse Rye Patch y cruzaba el desierto Black Rock, en el camino al lago Goose y los campos de oro de California. El atajo Lassen (Lassen Cut-Off) continuaba por el río Pit en el Valle Central de California, mientras que el atajo Applegate entraba en el sur de Oregón a lo largo del río Lost.

Z Battery Duntocher
A World War II anti-aircraft Z-Battery was sited north of Clydebank, to the south east of Duntocher. Site number CZ1. Part of the Clyde AA Defences, the site was also known as Hardgate, and was originally part of the Clydebank and District Golf Course, south of the A810 Glasgow Road, Hardgate, Faifley.
The Z-Battery was armed with rocket launchers rather than heavy guns, and this battery was equipped with 64 U2P unrotating twin barrelled launchers, GL Radar Mk II, and an accommodation camp to the north. Aerial photography taken by the RAF in 1946 showed the remains of the battery, and the accommodation camp, reported to contain some 36 Nissen huts.
The battery was manned by 101 Home Guard as part of 136 Battery.
There are no surviving remains of the battery or camp, and the site has reverted to the Clydebank and District Golf Course.

All British nationals in Spain, including resident expats, will need to have their personal data examined by Spanish police when hiring cars.
New proposals put forward by the Spanish government contain instructions to car hire companies on the compulsory registration of British expats and visitors looking to hire vehicles. Car rental firms will need to set up databases containing the personal details of would-be renters, all of which will be shared with the Spanish police as part of a new drive to prevent terrorist attacks in the country. The aim of the shared databases is to enable identity and other checks to be made before cars are released for hire.
Spanish Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido introduced the new rules at a recent press conference, explaining to reporters the moves would make the task of identifying terrorists far easier. Access to renters' personal details, he said, will enable officials to crack down on those showing behaviour patterns compatible with involvement in terrorism and terror attacks.
The news of the crackdown was released after the UK announced similar plans to force drivers in Britain to undergo extra checks when renting vans or cars. The horrific terrorist attack in Barcelona last summer was carried out by a person who'd rented a Renault Kangoo van, with Spain's new law expected to be on the books and activated later this year. According to Zoido, the plan is part of a full package of new anti-terrorism measures, including increased controls on gas canister sales. Full details, he added, are to be released in the near future.
Meanwhile, firefighters on Mallorca struggled all night to control a massive five-kilometre blaze near Puerto Pollensa. More than 60 homes were evacuated as a precaution as the fire, started by a fault in a local substation, came closer to developed areas. High winds hampered firefighters as the flames came dangerously close to a gas storage facility, but helicopters carrying water bombs prevented a possible explosion. At the same time, three earthquakes hit Andalusia, following on from two similar tremors off the coastline of Torremolinos. The strongest tremor, felt in Cordoba, measured 3.8 magnitude and another 3.5 magnitude quake was felt in Benalmadena half an hour later.


There can be no doubt about who is the favorite for "Meanest Parents" award. After threatening to take away our son's smartphone, we have now taken away ice cream, cupcakes and candy. S'mores have been banished; is there a greater summer sin?
This one wasn't my idea. My husband hatched it while helping our niece with her bake sale last Sunday.
Imagine the scene: A gorgeous day, adorable children shout out to hapless Farmers' Market shoppers, "Help sick kids! Buy brownies!" Our sons march through the crowded pedestrian street bearing a banner that points people to their cousin's stand. To put our money where their mouths are, they get their Dad to cough up $20 for the cause.
They figure that entitles them to three baked goods each. After they gobble chocolate chip cookies, and inhale luscious brownies-baked-with-cookies, but before consuming their regular brownies, a friend of mine and her teenaged daughter come over. The mom buys a cookie; her daughter does not want one.
"She's not eating sugar because of a dare," her mom explains.
"How long has it been?" I ask, amazed by a child avoiding sugar on her own initiative.
Too easy; I grant his wish.
That's how this began. One by one, ours sons and I all signed on. Thirty days, no sugar. Here's how it's going.
Minute 1. I put the boys' untouched brownies back on the For Sale tray. They must have been too full from their cookies and brownie-cookies before to make an uproar. So already, this is going better than expected.
Day 2. Breakfast. Following the rule of our teenaged inspiration, we allow reasonable cereal. No to Lucky Charms or Coco Crispies, but yes to wholesome Puffins or Heart to Heart, and all fruit. That's normal for us, so no mutiny yet. One glitch: Our beloved vanilla yogurt with granola is not okay. I buy plain, non-fat Greek yogurt, sprinkle in chopped up strawberries and blueberries, and am surprised to find it creamy, yummy and satisfying.
Day 3. Goodbye après-swimming lesson lollipop. Our swimming teacher rocks, but I could live without the lollipop bucket. I let my kids have one every time. But today when my son asks, "Can I have one, Mom?" my eyes give him the answer he already knows: "Not for 29 more days." There is no whining or debate. This dare is powerful potion.
Day 4. A kind and generous friend offers the boys cookies with lunch. But they resist that strong temptation. I am amazed. Then I realize it's because I'm there. Still, that's two sugar hits they missed, and I never had to say "no." Christopher comes across a Hershey Bar in his office, a remnant from a camping trip. He begins to unwrap it, then remembers the dare and changes course. I stop at Starbucks and although my eyes linger on the case of pastries, I get tea and add milk and honey.
Day 5. Our son goes with friends to a water park. They stay all day. I don't even ask about the dare. What happens in Soak City, stays in Soak City.
Day 6. We go for an end-of-summer movie matinee. Instead of going The Candy Baron (what has become our four-bag-filling tradition), we say yes to a small popcorn and a bag of Pirate's Booty. This dare is gaining power every day.
Day 7. The grandparents take the boys to the Dodgers game. Wait — I'm not event that bad! I don't breathe a word about the dare. Neither, apparently, do the boys.
The verdict as we approach the close of one week? Glorious success, slips and all. We are far from perfect, but perfect is not the goal. Our modest dare is a much needed reset button, a detoxifying opportunity, and an impetus to read labels. It is also a wake-up call to the volume of insidious sugar hits that pile up in a day, a week, a month. All those harmless lollipops and innocent chocolate kisses that appear at the barbershop, the dry cleaner, the market, the after-school activities. When school starts this week, that will multiply into birthday donuts or cupcakes that every child wants to share. I'm no birthday Grinch, but we have to work together, right? I believe what I read about sugar being addictive and a carcinogen, so as a loving mom I try to limit it. Which means that when my kids get sweets from other sources, I don't get to be the fun one bringing them to the ice cream store or baking them a cake. I'd like a little more of that fun.
For now, the omnipresent treats have met their match in the beauty and power of a sugar-free experiment borne of a bake sale. At the very least, it has helped us pause before reflexively accepting every sweet that is offered. Perhaps it will only last the week. Perhaps we'll make it the full thirty days. As for three years, don't bet on it.

Social jobs & Dogs in need
Start to mix
Businesses are a means to do good for the society they live in. In everything they do. It is about making fair products through fair jobs thanks to fair relationships with both customers and suppliers.
At FreshFrozen for Pets, we are convinced of this, and it is ingrained in every fiber of our organisation. Anyone, inside or outside our company, who sees deviations in this, may call us to account, regardless of the relationship with our company, so that together we can achieve a better society. We try to propagate this by communicating transparently at all times via all media (our packaging, our flyers, our digital channels, etc.) but also by opening our factory to visits by anyone who asks, with good intentions.
As part of our corporate philosophy, there are two initiatives that are close to our hearts: creating social jobs and helping animals in need.
social jobs
In our packaging department, we work together with a local company that provides jobs to people with a slight handicap. We are convinced that by offering these social jobs, we create a win-win situation.
For the employees, it means providing a pleasant working environment to those who would otherwise have difficulty finding a place in the labor market. For us, it means having a highly motivated staff that comes at a slightly lower cost. #socialjobs
Helping animals
Our products are produced in small batches. The last products at the end of a batch rarely fill a full box. We put these aside and donate them every month to local shelters that work day-in and day-out to help dogs in need.
Amongst others, we work together with A Grey's Home, an association that puts its heart and soul into rehoming Irish Greyhounds in Belgium, and DogAngels Rescue, a group of volunteers who are committed to rehoming Great Danes. The gratitude of the dogs and their carers is priceless and we are delighted to support such local initiatives. #supportlocaldogsinneed

2018 Enjoy Mill Valley Summer Guide Is Here!
Mill Valley has a bounty of incredible artists. With that in mind, as we designed the 2018 Enjoy Mill Valley Summer/Fall Guide, our all things-Mill-Valley mini-magazine that went out to 38,000 households within the June issue of Marin Magazine, we turned over the cover to them. We were quickly reminded of the artistic talent that exists here in Marin. Among the plethora of great designs we received was from local resident native Janet Rumsey, a graphic designer and nature lover born in Mill Valley.
Our jury of artists loved Rumsey's quirky, nature-loving, summer-centric design (at left) of her peering out at the world. We hope you do as well. Rumsey says she often takes photos from that vantage point "because you see what's behind you and where you are but it's not just the whole selfie thing. I enjoy creating images of people with growing minds – lots of flowers coming out of their heads. Grow your mind and go into nature."
This Summer Guide – available digitally here and in hard copies within Marin Magazine, at the Mill Valley Visitor Center at 85 Throckomorton and at business and community hubs all over town – is all about the thrills that lie ahead in Mill Valley. We took a look at the incredible new dawn at the revitalized Mill Valley Lumber Yard, tracked down some Summer Must Haves, whether you're staying in town or traveling, and our blockbuster Events Calendar, which kicks off on page 20 in the Summer Guide and lives in its entirety below, looks at the incredible lineup of great events to come, from concerts and festivals to the bigger and better-than-ever free Movies in the Park series. Thanks to the amazing Susan Lopes and all of the sponsors and advertisers who helped us make this Summer Guide happen. Lastly, we want to hear from you – send your thoughts, ideas and pithy asides to info@millvalley.org. –Jim Welte

Arthurdale History
Rent the Historic Center Hall
"Votes for Women!"
Eleanor Roosevelt was an outspoken proponent for women's rights.
In 1920 after women got the vote, Eleanor Roosevelt was Vice President of Legislative Affairs for the League of Women Voters and worked to mobilize women to vote.
In 1933, during the first press conference held by a First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt allowed only women reporters to attend – as women reporters were typically prohibited from attending presidential press conferences.
In 1962, she was appointed Chair of the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. The report found gender discrimination in the workplace and outlined ways to alleviate some of the problems. The Commission helped pave the way for the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the founding of the National Organization for Women.
Eleanor Roosevelt was heavily involved in addressing the problems women of color faced as well – she supported fair housing and worked with the National Council of Negro Women, becoming very close friends with its founder, Mary McLeod Bethune.
And that's just some of Eleanor's work on women's rights.

When considering an RV purchase, it's important to find the model that fits your lifestyle best. For some, the perfect PA motorhome would be of manageable size with all the comforts of a large RV. If this sounds like you, perhaps you would be interested in the Class B motorhomes.
Commonly referred to as a camper van, the Class B is very similar to its nickname. From the outside it looks like a passenger van with a taller roof. Once you step inside, you understand why it's growing in popularity. They make the most out of the space that typically includes a dinette, lounge, kitchen, and bathroom. Some even come standard with a sunroof! The driving and living areas are all together so everyone is free to move about during travel.
Because it has a van build, Class B's are easier to maneuver on the road. This also helps with fuel since there isn't as much to haul around. Having more flexibility will open you up to more traveling or a comfortable second family car! Have more stuff to bring? Most Class B's can tow as well. Also, this motorhome requires no storage since it fits in the driveway and some garages. Camping might be easier with a smaller RV where larger models are too cumbersome. Best of all? A family of four would feel right at home, with enough space to still do everything they need to!
Have you considered a Class B of your own? If you have any questions or would like to see a Leisure Travel Van for yourself, give us a call!

Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway – Wizard
Akshay Bhanawat
Earlier this year, Martin Garrix was just a young Dutch producer with a catchy single and a dream. Now, the 17-year-old is living in a world where Tiesto personally invites him to hit the decks alongside him at the Amsterdam Dance Event. At the Event about two weeks ago, the two house music masters dropped Martin's latest, "Wizard," an electro smash co-produced with Jay Hardway. You can just hear the crowd going wild for its thumping breakdown during the live premiere in the video below.
Hypothetically, it would be hard to top the success of "Animals", the banger you undoubtedly heard literally everywhere this summer. It went straight to the top of the Beatport charts after its release in May and put Martin Garrix on everyone's. However, "Wizard" captures that same energy that "Animals" delivered, but with a new spin. The track certainly embodies the finger prints of Jay Hardway, and the tune is reminiscent of the pair's earlier 2013 single, "Error 404″, which also saw success thanks to its release on Sander Van Doorn's sublabel of Spinnin' Records.

Patient deaths in hospitals might be reduced by easing nurses' workloads and emphasizing education in hiring, a new study suggests. The findings can help administrators make informed staffing decisions.
Decision-makers must plan nurse workforces in the face of scarce resources and health care reforms. Past studies of how nurse staffing and education affect patient outcomes led the Institute of Medicine to recommend that 80% of nurses in the U.S. have a bachelor's degree by 2020. Many hospitals now aim to hire more bachelor's degree-trained nurses, and nearly 25 U.S. states have proposed or enacted legislation to improve hospital nurse staffing.
A research team led by Dr. Linda Aiken of the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Walter Sermeus of the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium analyzed patient outcomes associated with nurse staffing and education in 9 European countries. The scientists reviewed the hospital discharge data of more than 420,000 patients who underwent common surgeries. The researchers also surveyed more than 26,500 nurses in the study hospitals to measure nurse staffing and education levels.
The team assessed how these nursing factors affected the likelihood of patients dying within 30 days of hospital admission. The study was supported by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme and NIH's National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). Results were published online in the Lancet on February 25, 2014.
The researchers estimated that each additional patient in a hospital nurse's workload increased the likelihood of a patient dying within 30 days of admission by 7%. Nurse education also affected outcomes. A better educated nurse workforce was associated with fewer deaths. For every 10% increase in nurses with bachelor's degrees, there was a drop in the likelihood of patient death by 7%.
In hospitals where 60% of nurses had bachelor's degrees and cared for an average of 6 patients, the researchers calculated, the likelihood of patients dying after surgery was nearly one-third lower than in hospitals where only 30% of nurses had bachelor-level education and cared for an average of 8 patients.
"Our study is the first to examine nursing workforce data across multiple European nations and analyze them in relation to objective clinical outcomes, rather than patient or nurse reports," Aiken says. "Our findings complement studies in the U.S. linking improved hospital nurse staffing and higher education levels with decreased mortality."
"This study emphasizes the role that nurses play in ensuring successful patient outcomes and underscores the need for a well-educated nursing workforce," says NINR Director Dr. Patricia A. Grady.

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword, but the same can be stated about a needle especially if it is used by the capable hands of the contemporary artists converging every year in a unique exhibition - "Stitch Fetish".
The fourth edition of the event is opening tomorrow at Los Angeles' Hive Gallery and promises to be provokingly intriguing. As usual curator Ellen Schinderman has put together a line up that will take visitors on a tour of the most radical trends for what regards the art of stitching and beyond. The 42 international artists featured in this year's edition employ indeed the most disparate techniques around, from embroidery and cross-stitching to recycled textiles.
"Stitch Fetish" features both miniature and large installations, some of the pieces show how portraits can be reinterpreted in modern ways, others are more conceptual, quite a few of them hide allegories or reference modern pop symbols. A few pieces reveal unspoken thoughts and prohibited memories, or present psychological and physical landscapes, personal experiences and collective sexual fears. Some will make you smile, others will make you to think, all of them will prompt you to reach out and touch the materials employed for some of these compositions.
Visitors will be mesmerised by the extremely realistic 3D Retex sculptures by Jess de Wahls; they will try and decode the secret messages tracing the contours of Schinderman's text ladies, or will scracth their heads and wonder what happened to the characters before and after they were portrayed in Michelle Kingdom's disquieting vignettes.
Among the other designers featured in the event there is also Heather Marie Scholl, a brave artist who is not afraid of tackling themes such as feminism, domestic violence and sexual abuses in her art. Scholl introduces us in this post to the exhibition and to her new work. Looks like the needle is a great humble tool ideal to break conventions and traditions and tackle in a radical way complex issues from our troubled times.
How did you get involved in "Stitch Fetish" and what it was like when you took part in it last year?
Heather Marie Scholl: In 2014 the curator Ellen Schinderman, reached out to me to participate in the 2015 show. It was a great opportunity to make new work with a specific show in mind. I had not created work in this way before, but having these guides of focusing on sexuality pushed me in a new way.
All the pieces featured in this event are extremely interesting, for both themes and techniques: in your opinion, what makes Stitch Fetish really exciting?
Heather Marie Scholl: I love that there is such diversity in how artists address the theme of sexuality and of fiber art. Each time it surprises me to see what a huge range of work there is. Although I have not been able to attend the openings in person, through the online community created for the artists I have been able to meet and become familiar with new artists.
Which artists did you particularly enjoy in the previous edition of the event?
Heather Marie Scholl: I absolutely fell in love with Michelle Kingdom's work last year. She has a way of story telling through embroidery that is profound. I also got connected with Annette Heully, although I didn't really get to know her as an artist until she participated in the show I curated last December, I am so thankful that we were made aware of each other through the show. She does strange and moving work in many techniques.
How many pieces will you showcase at "Stitch Fetish 4" and what themes will you be tackling?
Heather Marie Scholl: I will have 2 new pieces in the show. They deal with themes of belonging and love. This year has been my first real experience understanding what love can actually be like. So it felt appropriate that "Stitch Fetish" should be the first place where I can explore love as a topic in my art.
Can you tell us more about your work and your practice at the moment – what kind of pieces are you developing and which issues have you been researching?
Heather Marie Scholl: I continue to work on my series of surreal embroidered self portraits that explore my self and my family, while touching on common emotions. I will be teaching a class soon that bridges the how to's of embroidery and exploring family histories. I'm also planning to do a solo show of all the self portraits I have created to date later on this year. Alongside that, I have established the research and development for what will be my next large scale project amd possibly a topic that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The topic is "whitework": using the embroidery tradition of white thread on white fabric I am exploring ideas of whiteness - racially speaking. I'm studying how it was developed and how it was maintained, with a particular eye to white women's role in this process. The images will harken back to religious iconography to remind us of the invisible belief system we have created around race. Each piece will tell a story of a different phase of development and a different element to white supremacy. The pieces are more labor intensive than any singular piece I have done in the past, so I will be taking my time to make sure the techniques and messages are said with intention.
What inspires you nowadays? Do you ever take inspiration for example from the news?
Heather Marie Scholl: Life inspires me. I absolutely take inspiration from the news. One could say "whitework" is related to news stories, though I personally see it as the pull between an ignored history and a mostly ignored present of white supremacy and institutionalized racism. Inspiration can be everywhere and it depends on my mood and what project I have in mind what I take from where. I also continue to be inspired by clothing, modern and historical, while being deeply affected by and inspired by emotions.
Are you planning any exhibition in Europe for this year?
Heather Marie Scholl: At the moment I have no shows scheduled for Europe, though it continues to be an ambition of mine.
Heather Marie Scholl: Build a teaching practice alongside my art practice. In the meantime I want to keep on exploring the world of curating. I curated my first show, "Comedy & Tragedy" at The Experiment Comedy Gallery in Brooklyn in December 2015, and had a wonderful experience with it. I want to continue building my body of work and sharing it when I can. I am excited to see what this year holds in regards to my art practices as I have established interesting bodies of work and stronger networks.
"Stitch Fetish 4" is at the Hive Gallery, 729 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014, from tomorrow until 27th February 2015. Featuring: Adipocere, Mark Bieraugel, Ashley V Blalock, Olisa Corcoran, Amy Dame, Jess De Wahls, Spike Dennis, Nicole Filiatrault, Giddy Girlie, Peg Grady, Erika Hagberg, Becca Hammond, AshFord Harrison, Nano Hernandez, Annette Heully, Sally Hewett, Bascom Hogue, Josephine Huang, Alexander Kain, Billy Kheel, Michelle Kingdom, Barbara Bryn Klare, Katharine Lawrie, Jenny Lee, Rebecca Levi, Robin Mcgeough, Mackenzie Mollo, Matthew Monthei, Carie Musick, Oh Sew Nerdy, Shove Mink aka Croshame, Stephanie Pasa, Miel Rose, Julie Sarloutte, Ellen Schinderman, Heather Marie Scholl, Pete Seäzle, Meghan Willis, Jessika Wood, Wu Stitch, María Lucía Varona, Ben Youdan.

Football: Ottawa and McMaster are playoff foes straight out of Poe
posted by sager on 13:09 No Comments
You could say Edgar Allan Poe's work has had an influence on football beyond inspiring the NFL team in Baltimore to use the name Ravens.
Poe's short story "William Wilson," which is about a man who becomes obsessed with someone with similar characteristics, came to mind while putting together the Ottawa Sun's preview for Saturday's OUA quarter-final, No. 10 McMaster at No. 7 Ottawa. Hey, the game is on Halloween.
Each team went 6-2 with a quarterback in his first season starting, Ottawa junior Brad Sinopoli and McMaster sophomore Kyle Quinlan, who are each about 6-foot-4 and each wear No. 12.
McMaster averaged an OUA-best 31:20 average time of possession, one second more than Ottawa (31:19).
Ottawa and Mac are 1-2 in the OUA in rushing (second and third in CIS behind Calgary).
They are the only two teams with two rushers to have gained more than 600 yards apiece. (Ottawa: Jordan Wilson-Ross with 790 for Ottawa and Sinopoli with 624; McMaster: Jordan Kozina with 720 and Joey Nemet with 612).
Both teams turned their season around by spoiling a homecoming game on Oct. 3, with Ottawa beating Laurier 27-25 and Mac outlasting Western 42-35. Both were homecoming games for the other guys.
Kozina and Wilson-Ross, the feature backs with the same first name, have each represented Canada internationally in rugby.
Each team has a Coach P (Piché and Ptaszek) who was once the offensive coordinator on a Vanier Cup-winning team before taking his current position.
Those are more fun things for us fans than serious analysis, of course. Ottawa's defence plays an attacking defence and can match up man-to-man, especially with someone like Chayce Elliott on the corner. Mac defensive coordinator Greg Knox's group forces teams to try to dink and dunk, go 8-10 plays, which is tough in three-down football. (Mac's offence plays the patient, methodical game pretty well.)
The combo of Wilson-Ross, whom Mac coach Stefan Ptaszek describes as someone "who runs more like a fourth- or fifth-year guy" and Sinopoli, who combines pocket presence with serious afterburners when he runs, will test the Marauders.
As best one can recall, in the Poe story it turns out there weren't two William Wilsons, but the person the title character was actually obsessed with was himself. And McMaster and Ottawa also have similar colours. Just sayin'.
By the way, Ptaszek had a sit-down with The Score's Donnavan (D.J.) Bennett last week.


The rise of social media created many benefits for dentists. However, in terms of dental risk management, negative dental social media reviews create headaches for many practitioners.
Here's a quick dental risk management case study on how you can deal with negative reviews of your dental practice on social media.
Dentist: A general dentist, who owns her office. The situation occurred this weekend. She contacted me after the fact, concerned about her possible legal liability.
Situation: Three negative dental social media posts were published this past Saturday on the dental office's Facebook page. I edited out some of the redundant and less important material.
Patient Facebook Post at 3:23 PM: I was quoted a price of $250 for services by this dentist but was charged $682.40. The office personnel failed to disclose to me that they are out-of-network with regards to my insurance company, which is an obvious sign the services will not be mostly covered by insurance. They deny the fact that they did not disclose to me that they are out-of-network, but cannot specifically remember or prove that they gave me that information. After the first service was completed (dental cleaning), I was told I did not owe any money. When I pointed this out to office personnel, I was hung up on, disrespected and mistreated. I tried to speak with the dentist personally but she refused.
Dental Office's Response Post at 8:48 PM. We are sorry to hear that you are upset with your balance. The treatment estimates our staff personally prepares do relay that IF the insurance pays less that expected, the patient is responsible for the difference. We have no say in how any insurance company pays.
We have many, many patients that we are not in-network for, but they choose to come to us for high-quality dentistry. If a person calls our office asking if we are in-network with their insurance policy, we ALWAYS encourage them to contact their insurance to find an in-network provider and we do not schedule their appointment. We always explain that they CAN come to our office, but they are responsible for any difference that insurance does not cover.
Due to this unfortunate misunderstanding, Dr. [X] has offered to reduce your final bill by 50% in order to help you with the portion your insurance company didn't cover. We hope this courtesy alleviates the discomfort this situation has caused you. It is our sincere wish to provide the highest quality of dental care and the most supreme customer service.
Patient at 10:59 PM. You just released personal information about my situation that I DID NOT approve. If you don't delete this in the next 30 minutes I will go to law enforcement and tell them this.
Two laws govern patient disclosures: federal HIPAA, and state-specific dental-patient privilege statutes. The patient holds the privilege, so the dentist cannot release information without the patient's consent or (as here) a waiver. If the patient files a legal action (dental board complaint or malpractice lawsuit), or places his/her situation in the public domain, then the dentist can comment without legal repercussions.
General vs. specific waivers: Filing a legal action acts a a general waiver. The dentist can discuss all treatment aspects to defend him- or herself.
A public discussion — like this dental social media post — is more limited. The dental office is allowed to rebut only those areas that the patient specifically waived. This case is a perfect example. The discussion concerned billing, and the dentist responded appropriately. Had she crossed the line into treatment, an area not waived in the public forum, then she would have gone too far.
(3) Bury it with good reviews. One dentist decided to publish 100 positive reviews in response to a negative one. He instructed his five staff members to each contact 20 sympathetic patients and request immediate positive comments. The overwhelming good critiques dwarfed the negative one.
Patient – [Posts negative comments].
Dentist [after 7 days of silence]. I didn't think you would.
Advance risk management is the hallmark of our program. As always, reach out to me personally if you have any questions or insights to share with your fellow subscribers on this or other topics.
