International And American Hair Loss Associations: Who are ISHRS and ABHRS?
A lot of people realize that after they decide to have the hair transplant procedure, there is chaos everywhere. Clinic websites have different designs and offer, but it is hard to trust information on a random website. After all, hair transplant journey is a long journey.
There are agencies too but the problem is the same, these are all on the selling/profit side. You need someone objective to help you through the decision making process. This is where ISHRS and ABHRS come to aid. But what are they?
ISHRS and ABHRS are two organizations, one international, one American. They are both non-profit organizations and aim to help people with hair loss and restoration.
Hair loss was a significant problem for a lot of people. With the increasing life-quality of the society, a need for preventing hair loss was present. The high-stressful jobs and lives we have caused us to lose more hair. Therefore, people started looking for ways to stop it.
In some cases, there was not any hair left to protect from the loss. For them, hair regrowth was necessary. These problems led doctors to start looking for solutions. Many different ideas and inventions were in the market to solve hair loss problem.
In the 1990s, the need for hair restoration led to the invention of the FUT technique. The surgeons were using hair implants to fill the bald area with hair follicles.
This new technology spread fast across the world. Many doctors from the different countries begun performing FUT operation.
Eventually, the FUT method was a significant solution to solve the hair loss problem permanently.
However, this created a need for establishing the highest standards in the hair restoration society. In 1993, some pioneer surgeons in this idea formed the ISHRS organization.
The idea behind this organization was, educating its doctors with new technologies and inventions so that the people suffering from hair loss could receive the highest possible outcome from the surgery.
They believe that this is only possible through educating their surgeons constantly. Consistent researching and development is ISHRS vision for its member surgeons.
Naturally, ISHRS has requirements for its surgeon to participate in congresses and researches frequently while performing the surgery personally. In each conference, the doctors from all around the world meet in one city.
For almost a week, participants demonstrate their inventions or techniques so that the doctors can perform it in their countries. The members present innovations in hair loss and restoration.
ISHRS has a critical mission. The organization aims to educate and protect consumers about the increasing numbers of unlicensed personnel or physicians with minimal training worldwide performing hair restoration surgery.
They want to inform patients about the dangers of medical tourism, and the importance of consumers researching a qualified hair transplant surgeon (ishrs.org).
We witnessed hundreds of patients each month suffering from the issues with the medical tourism. Especially in some countries, the share of the black market and technician use are increasing.
Some clinics and doctors aim to increase revenues. One of the ways for doing so is hiring technicians. They believe teaching the hair transplant procedure to an ordinary person and supervising that individual is sufficient.
The idea behind this strategy is to have multiple surgeries a day meaning various revenues a day. From a business point of view, this is maximizing profits.
ISHRS aims to stop this, and they do not accept any of their members' activities involving these. If a doctor chooses not to follow this rule, the committee expels the individual.
ISHRS believes a doctor should be ethical, and loyal to their oath. Because usually when the patients complain about their surgery, we generally see technician involvement.
Imagine the outcome of operation when there is a risk even with a very experienced surgeon. Even the best surgeons make mistakes. Now, imagine a technician is the one performing everything.
Even when the surgeon supervises it, can he stop a mistake before it happens?
There is something even worse than technician involvement. That is the black market. Some people don't want to pay a large amount of money for hair transplants.
Or they care about the financial part of the surgery more than the outcome. People in the market who are aware of this sad fact buy the equipment necessary for the procedure and perform it themselves.
A lot of people don't believe that such a thing exists. But the ugly truth is, it does.
The black market increased significantly in the latest years and became an essential topic in ISHRS. Today, ISHRS actively fight the black market to protect the patients.
In 25 years, ISHRS expelled many of its members for not complying with the rules. But still, there was an issue with the current members; some doctors joined ISHRS only for the benefits.
Because it is the most reputable organization within the hair restoration society, doctors wanted to convert this into profits.
By doing the bare minimums, they stayed active members in the community and kept their certificates. Also, some other doctors wanted to be active, but either they couldn't find time to participate more or afford the expenses, they stayed less active.
This led to a need for a higher class of members so that the people could distinguish the active and honorable members more easily. Therefore, ISHRS introduced its fellow members to the society.
"In order to be considered, the hair restoration surgeon must achieve a specific level of points in a system of various educational parameters such as serving in leadership positions, American Board of Hair Restoration (ABHRS) certification, writing of scientific papers, teaching at scientific programs, among others.
This new class of surgeons within the organization ensured the highest standards possible for the hair restorations society. The most important reason is, these fellow members have to participate the community actively.
They have to score a minimum of points continually. Otherwise, they are no longer fellow members. These members host workshops and teach the new generation about the best hair transplant techniques.
The fellow members also need American Board Certificate, so this brings us to the ABHRS.
The United States market share in hair restoration is 5 billion dollars. This is more than the total market size of the rest of the world. Naturally, this created a need for the United States focused organization.
Therefore, the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery was founded by the American ISHRS surgeons to examine the doctors in the area.
This organization helps the patients from the United States to continuously get the highest standard procedures from the doctors.
This means that the doctors who are members of this organization need to follow ISHRS rules. Also, you can assume a fellow member has the ABHRS certificate automatically as it is a requirement for being a FISHRS.
People often refer to ABHRS as an American hair loss association but actually, they concentrate more on to the improving the standards for the hair restoration.
ABHRS try to make sure the surgeons follow the rules of their practice to increase the hair transplant standards.
ISHRS and ABHRS are more than hair loss associations. With the first FUT operation in the 1990s, the evolution of hair transplants has begun.
In time, a new and advanced way was founded, and the society called it FUE. Now, surgeons from all over the world try to find new ways to perform the surgery.
You might have heard of bio-grafts or neo-grafts, which are the same as the FUE technique only with some small differences. In the future, more new methods and innovation will be explored.
Adding the development speed of technology these days, it seems like we will have new inventions more often.
On top of that, the population is multiplying faster, and the need for hair restoration increases exponentially. With more demand, more people will join the market from different sides.
And not all of them will have positive intentions. All these reasons will make it essential for ISHRS and ABHRS to control the process. Not only control, but they will also need to guide it so that the optimum results can be achieved.
So, these organizations try to make things safer and better for you. But they actually can help you make your decision. ISHRS and ABHRS are like a massive library dedicated to hair loss and restoration.
Not using their knowledge to your advantage can be a significant loss. We know it is sometimes challenging to find things online. And we also know you don't have much time to read everything, evaluate and make the decision.
However, the entire idea here is, helping you find your strategy in this. From a business point of view, it is not smart to give you any advice. It might come back in unexpected ways.
We would prefer you make your strategy, and after the outcome is great, you take the credit for it.
Similarly, ISHRS and ABHRS want the patients to know about each doctor and clinic. They want you to know what to expect from your doctor.
You might think a member of these organizations would be more expensive, but there is a surgeon for every kind of budget in their organizations. And the best part is, it is for free.
Even if you believe you find your surgeon, getting a confirmation from these organizations would be wise. You may find out that your surgeon is just like you thought he is. Or you might find out there is doubt the way he operates. They can help you make a better decision.
Ultimately, you will be making the decision. The thing with the internet is, it contains both the personal experiences and information. And most of the time, they don't match.
You read something excellent but then realize people's experiences were different. Then it makes it difficult for you to choose because what is more important, experience or information?
You surf the forums and see a lot of information about the same doctor. Some approved him while the others complain. Then you see actual results where some look great while the others are not natural.
This is where these organizations step in, if you ask them, they will give you the accurate information. In a lot of forums and on the websites of individuals an ISHRS or ABHRS certificate is present, but is it valid?
The bottom line is, the internet is instrumental if you can find the relative and right information. However, many people end up finding fraudulent information and regret the outcomes eventually.
With more research and active cooperation with these organizations, you can significantly increase the quality of the results. There is always a chance of failure and sadly today is about reducing that chance.
You realized it is a mess out there, right? From the moment you decide to get a hair transplant, you probably kept seeing a lot of information, reviews, and ads but you can't decide who to trust or which way to follow.
Earlier, we tried to help you with our article "How To Choose Your Hair Transplant Surgeon" and provided you with some tips, but now we will go one step further. Let us tell you the story of how we found our surgeon that we can trust.
Right after you stepped into the world of hair implants, you will realize there is a severe commotion everywhere. Since you just started to collect data cognitively, you will see a madness going out there.
People are arguing in the forums, asking questions and a lot of different ideas expressed, you will get confused soon.
Today, it is perfectly reasonable that everyone tries to protect their right because it is a crazy world out there. This leads you to a constant need for calculating costs and benefits together.
One of the first questions on your mind will be "how much do hair implants cost?" and your search for the answer will bring you to many different places.
Because everything revolves around costs, you will soon realize, the cost of it will determine the method you choose, and this will be an early decision you have to make.
Some will claim one method is better over and give you reasons for their ideas. You will see a lot of ads from each side, but the bottom line will be, there is no such thing as the best hair restoration method.
As there is no best food or colors, it depends on the unique needs and tastes. So, soon you will compare both ways and make a decision based on what you need and can afford.
Eventually, you will come to the stage where you will find yourself looking at before after pictures of each surgeon. You will have some idea about the costs and what type of hair transplants you want. Still confused, you will keep considering different options.
The cost, the method or the country, this whole thing comes down to finding the ideal surgeon that you can trust. The money you spend will be spent well if the surgeon does a good job.
The method you choose will be the right choice only if the surgeon does a good job. The place you traveled, will be the best place to visit if he does his job well.
Glad you have asked. How do you know if your surgeon did well? It is common sense and something you already know; if your surgeon performed the surgery for the money you agreed to pay while your hair looks better than you have expected in the end, he has done well. That is the basic equation for defining the performance of the surgeon.
But we found out that there is an additional value in the equation. From the first time you talk to your doctor, until the moment you no longer need him, it is essential that your surgeon remains in the ethical boundaries.
We know that ethics depend on the individual but, if your surgeon can apply the international ethics rules, then you will have found something even more valuable.
If your surgeon is honest and transparent in the communications of any kind, this creates trust. You will realize that the reason you are reading the reviews is that you are still trying to understand if you can trust him.
It is not easy to believe a person who will change the way you look for the rest of your life, even if your surgeon is affordable and skilled, you will still need to trust he will be consistent with who he appears to be.
Now, this brings us to how we knew we could trust our surgeon, Kayihan Sahinoglu.
As young entrepreneurs, we dreamed of starting a business for a very long time. Our dream was, no matter what we do, a company where we knew we were doing the right thing. It didn't matter if we sold an idea or product, we always wanted to be at the light side of things.
After spotting the need, we decided we could help North America to get hair transplants for a lower cost while increasing or to maintain the quality.
Because the prices are very high here, there are people out there who need to restore their hair, but they are stuck with saving a lot of money to afford the procedure. If they knew there was a better option, would they want to know about it?
That question is the reason why you are reading this article today, and this library exists. We did not want a simple blog page to explain things to rank higher on Google; we wanted to create an online hair library where you can feel safe.
We didn't post everything we can find to attract more people; we wanted when the people come, they can get only the information they need fast.
We were all set with the website and everything, but the problem was finding the doctor. Like you feel for your situation now, we felt unsafe in the market. Not knowing how to find a surgeon we can trust, we talked to many doctors.
After a while, it felt like this was a false hope because staying on the light side of the things was very hard without the right surgeon. And as usual, the moment we lost our faith, we found the solution.
Finding a skilled surgeon is not very difficult. By now, in your research results, you probably have a lot of experienced surgeons already. It was the same for us too, but when we found Kayihan Sahinoglu, it was the first time we had a surgeon with high skills and integrity.
After a few times talking, we convinced him to work with us. The only thing he asked for was being honest and concentrating only on what we could do rather than what others were doing.
When your star player is honest and focuses only on his own game, that is how a "Kobe Bryant" is born. Every star you have ever known, if you look carefully, you will see that they all were honest people doing only their jobs. You never hear Kobe arguing opponents or blaming the referees when things go wrong.
Because if you concentrate on what others do or don't, you are no longer in the game.
Similar with stars, this rule applies for the surgeons and lawyers as well. The moment they stop being ethical, no matter how talented they are, their methods cause problems for the people they serve.
It might not be the first person they work for, but eventually, they fail someone. We knew this very well. We understand that this might be your inner fear as well.
Deep inside, you might be analyzing the risks to see if you want to go with someone like that. Our opinion is, it is not worth it.
when you start talking to him. When you first ask for a consultation, it is very official. It was the same in our case. You will experience a lot of suspicion and excitement at the same time.
If you feel like this doctor cares about what he does, then you might trust him. But if he keeps the attitude no matter how challenging you are, then you know you can believe him.
When your surgeon doesn't see you as a mean of income, you realize a lot of personal input. There is a difference between copying and pasting answers and carefully examining each and writing answers for each case.
If your surgeon doesn't spend the time to understand what you need, how can you know he will care for the extraction of each graft. People think those are different things, but the idea is the same.
In our case, it was a chance to have met Kayihan Sahinoglu because he wanted us to ask him everything. No matter how many requests there are for consultations, we have to send them to him.
Because he believes surgeons shouldn't be too busy for patients. That is essential for our work to be successful, but it is also critical for the patient to get the maximum out of the surgery.
You might think that the most critical part of getting a hair transplant is restoring your hair. But in many cases, patients realize that the communication and trust between them and their surgeon was the key.
If you are at the stage of finding your surgeon, you might want to anticipate what would happen if things go wrong.
Even the best make mistakes sometimes. The real value of something can be seen only in the worst situation. When we checked his reviews, we saw what made him special was his care for the patient's concerns.
After all, this process is not only physical, but it is also psychological. Managing the psychology of the patient while changing his physical state is pure skill.
And we would like to thank him for attending patients' concerns and questions even after a year of surgery. These are the reasons why we knew Kayihan Sahinoglu was the surgeon we could trust and recommend confidently.
when you are trying to decide if you can trust your doctor, a useful method would be reading the signals. Since your communication is over the internet, you can concentrate on the details he provides.
An answer that looks ordinary and short means less passion for the task. If the response contains only essential information with care, this is something golden.
It is hard to trust; there is no way to know if your decision will lead to the ideal outcome. The best you can do is knowing you have done your best to analyze everything and came up with the best option from the possibilities.
For the best results, doing extensive research increases your chance to reach the best outcome. Rushing your decision to be over with the stressful process tends to lead to poor results. The total money spent depends on the outcome of the decision.
If you make a mistake, saving a few hundred dollars the first time won't mean anything as you will end up spending more on fixing that the second time. That is why we say do it right the first time. If you do it the right way, there won't be a second time, and that itself is a significant win.
This is the story of how we meet the surgeon we can trust. It was challenging to put faith in someone enough to take the responsibility of recommending him. It was not easy, but in the end, we found our surgeon. That is the last thing you might want to consider.
Choosing your doctor as if you are recommending the doctor for the ones you care about might mean you've found your surgeon. If you trust what you see enough to take responsibility for it, then your decision gets less stressful.
So far, we only have one surgeon we trust enough to recommend. We are working hard to bring more surgeons of the same caliber, but it takes time.
It takes a lot of time to build trust. Until we find something we are sure, we will take our time. That helped us make the right choice and might provide you with the same benefits.
Because sooner or later, you will have to choose a surgeon. That will be the critical moment of your journey. The ending depends on you, and with patience and knowledge, you can write the best end you deserve.
And we will be here to help you as much as we can towards that right ending.


Transcription and data visualization are both popular DHSS projects. Your students could do each task together or separately. A quick internet search can also identify other supports outside this Guide to support the work of transcription and data visualization.
With transcription and data visualization, students would transcribe a piece of material and then would use data visualization or data analysis tools to demonstrate discursive patterns in the text.
Easy to Moderate. The size and difficulty level of this assignment depends on the format and length of the original source. A handwritten letter, for example, would be more intensive work than a printed newspaper article.
Robyn Le Lacheur did both transcription and data visualization as part of her exhibit "Looking Back: Temporal and spatial connections of Post-War migration and displacement through the eyes of the Toronto Telegram." However, each task could be enough for one assignment if framed differently. Robyn did both transcription and data visualization because part of her task was finding the source and making it presentable on a website.
Robyn's focus for her project was on the images from the Toronto Telegram filed under "refugee." Working so closely with these images got Robyn interested in seeing how the images were actually used in the newspaper. So, to explore this more closely, she chose one photograph, did a library search to find the article that used that photograph, and found the article on microfilm. She then saved the article in a digital format and "cleaned" it for "noise" so it could be posted on-line. After this work, she then transcribed the article – deciding if she should keep the same line breaks or just type it with standard margins in Word – and put the text through a word cloud generator. Robyn playing with different tools for the visualization, including Voyant an easy and very user friendly data analysis tool, before she settled on WordCloud because she liked how she could customize the words that could be featured.
The result of Robyn's work is that now Ron Poulton's 1964 article "Their War Goes On: Opulence Hides Gray Refugees" is available online and situated in a larger exhibit and discussion about post-war migration and displacement through the eyes of the Toronto Telegram.
As mentioned, both transcription and data visualization are popular DHSS activities. Transcription is a popular DHSS method for history because of the value in transcribing handwritten documents. Data visualization is a popular DHSS method in literature or political science because of the ways in which the tools help identify discursive patterns that may not be as visible by traditional reading.
When framing transcription and data visualization with 21st-century competencies like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation as found by the Ontario government's international review of 21st-century competencies, each task can be transformed to have your students think about the role they are playing in developing space for greater access to materials and thus the responsibilities they hold when creating, organizing, and/or presenting materials to the public (similar ideas are discussed in the Metadata assignment).
To think about the scale of this assignment for your students, ask yourself organizational questions such as: will students use a document from an already organized and digitized corpus like The Globe and Mail archive, or will they have to find something on their own using microfilm like Robyn did, which will then need to be digitally edited for the web? Will they have to find materials by going to an archive and working with an archivist? Will the original material be typed (like a newspaper article or broadsheet) or will they be handwritten, and if they are handwritten (like a letter), has enough support been given to students to read and understand it? Note: it's not that young people "don't know how to read handwriting," it's just that handwriting is hard to read. They should be supported in their efforts.
In Dr. Mary Chaktsiris's course "Digital Humanities: Digital Editing and Publishing" for Wilfrid Laurier University, she got her students to "crowdsource" the transcription of 19th-century handwritten letters by projecting the letters in class and inviting students to transcribe each letter together. This activity encouraged both collaboration and discussion about the words in the letter and context in which they were written. Doing this work as a class also destigmatized any difficulties students may have had in reading the letters on their own.
To support collaborative transcription projects, Library and Archives Canada has provided transcription guidelines for their digitization and transcription projects. These may be good inspiration in your own classroom.

Nick Collins Pro Bowl Diary
Packers S Nick Collins (left) is shown here at Pro Bowl practice with fellow NFC safety Antrel Rolle of Arizona.
*Packers safety Nick Collins, who lives in Gainesville, Fla., is appearing in his second straight Pro Bowl this week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, linebacker Clay Matthews and cornerback Charles Woodson also were selected for the NFC squad, but Woodson is not in Miami due to injury issues.
Packers.com caught up with Collins for this update on how things are going in Miami: *
Everything has been good so far. The best thing about having the Pro Bowl in Florida this year is a lot of my family members get to come to the game and get that experience. It's just been a blessing for me to have another opportunity to play in it, and I'm glad that it's here so everybody can get a chance to see me.
Last year I had around 15 ticket requests, and this year it's more like 50. It's crazy, all the family, friends, ... but I just want them to have a chance to see me. They've been by my side throughout my whole career, so I think it's a great opportunity to give back to them something, and hopefully they enjoy it. I have my wife, my kids and my agent here, and my sister and my nephew are coming down today. We're going to have a great time. Atari Bigby and Al Harris are supposed to come by later and say what's up, so I'm looking forward to that.
As the only one of our guys who has been to the Pro Bowl before, I've given a little advice to Aaron and Clay -- Don't give anybody your room number. That was the main thing I told them. Because if they give out that room number to other players, they'll use it and you'll look at that bill at the end of the day and not be happy. Al told me about that last year in Hawaii. I had a little seniority help over there.
Everybody loves Hawaii, but as far as changing the location of the Pro Bowl, I think every once in a while they should move it and give guys a chance to see different cities so they can have a different environment, a different vibe and just have fun. In Hawaii they had a lot of events right at the hotel. Here in Florida, a lot of guys are trying to drive down to South Beach or figure out how they're going to get there. They have limos if you want to jump in one to get to the different parties.
We haven't done much yet outside of the football stuff. We're supposed to join the 'Play 60' program today, helping to build a playground at a park, so I'll go out there and lend a hand. Then I might get a little beach time, go out there on the jet skis and have a little fun.
It's too bad Charles didn't make it. It would have been great to have another Green Bay DB out here, like with Al last year. But the guy has been here numerous times, and I know he's been having nagging injuries, so I think he just wanted his body to heal and get ready for next season.
It's great just being with all the guys. It's a privilege to have these 82 guys, 86, however many players here enjoying themselves. You get to see different guys from different teams, different personalities, how they carry themselves off the field and on the field. That's what a lot of guys like, they get to see players and get to know the names and follow them throughout the rest of their career.

Home → Uncategorized → What does basement mold look like? How to tell when you have a basement mold problem.
Many people do not know when they have a basement mold problem, or if it's just harmless cosmetic stains. If you've never seen mold, how do you know what mold looks like? There are a few signs you can look for to identify whether you have basement mold. We'll help you figure out what it means for you!
Mold is found in wet places, and on surfaces that retain moisture instead of drying properly. If you're looking for mold, you often find it in the basement. It's the perfect breeding ground, because it is damp, dark, and above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Basements are also often unventilated, which makes it easier for humidity to stay in, and basement mold to grow.
Shower heads, caulking/grout around tiles and tubs, base of a toilet. All are consistently wet, can cause condensation, and may not always dry fully.
If there is an unnoticed leak, moisture can build up and result in mold. If they are uninsulated, they are likely to create condensation, which also can result in moisture and mold.
What does harmful mold look like?
You've probably heard of black mold, and if you haven't, we'll tell you – it's not pleasant, and it's not healthy. Black mold is toxic and grows in damp, warm environments like your basement.
It will often be slimy, and a dark color that shifts from green to black or even gray.
If you see something you think may be black mold, call a professional immediately. Your family will thank you!
Not all mold is toxic. For example, the type of mold you see on your food might not hurt you, but it doesn't mean you want to eat it, and you certainly don't want it in your home or basement.
Furry growths, like on food.
Typically, mold colonies will grow in round patterns.
They come in many different colors, other than just black; mold can also be green, white, brown, or yellow.
A good identifier of basement mold or mold in your home is a yellow or pink stain on wallpaper or drywall or wood. That often means there is mold growing in that area.
Musty, mildew, and dirty. That's the simplest way to put it. If you walk into your basement and are hit with an unclean, earthy scent, you likely have some type of mold in the basement. Again, it may not be toxic, but make sure you're checking at-risk areas to find anything that may be dangerous.
What do I do if I think I have mold?
A simple, inexpensive fix is increasing the light in the space. You'll want to look for LED bulbs above 4,000K in spectrum temperature, or 100-watt bulbs, in a larger area. In smaller areas, a 40-60 watt is acceptable. Leave these lights on continuously in a basement with lots of mold or mildew. This trick will stop mold growth in basements or any other dark, damp space in your home.
The key to keeping your family safe and comfortable is ensuring you are looking for signs of unhealthy and unsightly mold. If you're not sure, call an expert! They'll help you determine next steps. At Basement Waterproofing, we'll come by for a free, no-obligation estimate, give you all your options, and let you make the decision that is right for you.

I thought I'd gotten away with keeping my wisdom teeth. Most of my friends had had theirs removed at younger ages, but the dentists had always told me that it looked like I was using them, so it was fine. The orthodontist said it was not fine. Damn.
After some severe regret about the times I secretly thought my wisdom teeth were better than other people's, I was referred to an oral surgeon to have the wisdom teeth taken out. Both of my lowers were nice and erupted, but my upper right was slightly impacted. However, they happily told me I had a gigantic mouth which would make the operation much easier. I wasn't sure how I felt about that but I took it as a win, and with the upcoming jaw surgery, boy am I glad I have a giant mouth. My girlfriend was there to get me back home while I was loopy on hydrocodone.
She seemed to be enjoying how loopy I was.
The oral surgeon said: "This is nothing compared to jaw surgery." Yeah okay, Thanks.
I had a small bottle of hydrocodone pills, and they were my best friend for the next few days. I was generally moseying about my apartment surfing YouTube, drinking all the soups for the next week or so, but overall it wasn't that bad of an experience.
The little ice pack strap was great, I used it all the time, and plan to use it for my jaw surgery also.
In hindsight I should have been more proactive with pain management, I tended to wait until I started feeling a little pain, and then think I'd be fine and maybe take a pill in a bit, but then the throbbing pain would get worse, and I'd still have to wait an hour or so for the pills to kick in. I will not be making the same mistake with jaw surgery.
Today was my last day in the office, I said my goodbyes in good spirits. I also called the peri-operative department, who tell me I'm scheduled to come in at 9:30am. They expect the operation to take around 2-3 hours, staying overnight, and leaving around 11am. I'm not supposed to bring any medicines with me (they provide everything), and no valuables. I wonder if I'll be cognizant enough to get bored while there.


G.I. Gurdjieff (1866?-1949) dedicated his life to the pursuit and teaching of an ancient knowledge about Man and the Universe.
Gurdjieff Internet Guide was started on the 7th of August in 2002 ( which was my 60th birthday), and retired after ten years on the 7th of August 2012, when I became 70 years old. What you experiences on the site is "life after death" of the site, as the number of visitors is not going down, but keeping steadily at the reasonable level of just under 10 000 visits a month. In fact, it is not I, but the visitors, who keep the site going!
Against all odds, it was meant to give an idea of the Gurdjieff Work on the internet focusing on what is happening in it, particularly in our time, and without the hush of a "secret teaching". This has been achieved with interviews, articles, videos, book reviews, event listings, forums and other material related to the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff.

Man has broken the cycle. Although he partakes of the abundance provided by the cyclic transformation and in some instances, enhances it, through good husbandry, more often, he is a drag on the earth, taking more than he provides.
The aim of our practicum is to explore how we can work practically with the strivings to obtain genuine conscience. Even as we contemplate the intention and meaning of these strivings, we must learn how to practice them in our daily lives.
Although our life circumstances may be quite different, in widely diverse parts of the globe, our essential, inner, experience is shared. It is profoundly affirming to be together, even for a few days.

Royal Caribbean International has joined forces with Singapore Tourism Board and Changi Airport in a multi-million dollar marketing drive to grow the fly-cruise market.
The tripartite collaboration is expected to generate over SG$26 million in tourism revenue and bring around 45,000 overseas fly-cruise passengers to board RCL's Ovation of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas from March to June this year.
The announcement comes as Ovation of the Seas arrived in Singapore for her inaugural season this week. Ovation will offer 10 sailings during her season in Singapore.
For the 2017-18 season, Royal Caribbean has lined up 72 sailings on its three ships: Mariner of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas.
Sean Treacy, managing director of Royal Caribbean Cruises Asia Pacific said that the partnership marks "another milestone'' as the line celebrates 10 years in Asia.
"In 2007, we had only one ship in Asia, today we have 10 ships across our three brands,'' Mr Treacy said.
Annie Chang, STB's director of cruise said: "This second collaboration with RCI and Changi Airport reiterates our commitments to grow Singapore's cruise industry and position Singapore as the fly-cruise hub of Asia.''
Changi Airport is the world's sixth busiest airport for international traffic handling a record 58.7 million passengers last year. Over 100 airlines fly to 380 cities worldwide from Singapore. Changi handles more than 7000 flights a week – about one flight every 90 seconds.
The fly-cruise marketing drive will target Australia and India as important source markets.
As Mr Treacy said: ''Australia is one of the biggest cruising nations. About 4 per cent of Australians cruise every year."
Ms Chang said India has been a 20 per cent growth in the cruise market. The joint marketing campaign will also be targeting regional countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Singapore also offers cruise-fly service – a sea-to-air baggage transfer service which allows passengers to check-in early for flights, deposit their bags and collect their boarding passes without the hassle. They can then spend the day exploring Singapore tourist sights.

Maurice Dunlea Hinchey (October 27, 1938 – November 22, 2017) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative from New York and was a member of the Democratic Party. He retired at the end of his term in January 2013 after 20 years in Congress.

A New York City native who moved to the Hudson Valley where he attended high school and college, Hinchey had previously represented part of the area in the New York State Assembly since 1975. As chair of that body's Environmental Conservation Committee, he took the lead in bringing environmental issues to the fore, particularly when he held hearings on the problems created by toxic waste disposal in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls. In his later years in Congress, he opposed hydraulic fracturing to exploit the natural gas resources of the Marcellus Shale. Throughout his career, he was considered a political progressive for his liberal stands on other issues.

Early life, education and career
Hinchey was born to a working-class family on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, the son of Rose (Bonack) and Maurice D. Hinchey. He grew up in Saugerties, New York.

After graduating from high school, Hinchey enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served in the Pacific on the destroyer USS Marshall. After being honorably discharged, he spent two years working as a laborer in a cement plant. While in college, he earned his tuition working as a toll collector on the New York State Thruway. He graduated from the State University of New York at New Paltz with a B.A. in 1968 and an M.A. in 1970.

Hinchey first sought public office in 1972, with an unsuccessful race for the New York State Assembly. Ulster County was a Republican stronghold, but Hinchey ran successfully in 1974, becoming the first Democrat to represent Ulster County since 1912. Hinchey remained in the Assembly until 1992 and was a member of the 180th, 181st, 182nd, 183rd, 184th, 185th, 186th, 187th, 188th and 189th New York State Legislatures.

He was particularly noted for his work on protecting the natural environment. For 14 years, he chaired the Committee on Environmental Conservation. Hinchey also served on the Ways and Means, Rules, Banks, Health, Higher Education, Labor, Energy and Agriculture committees.

During his chairmanship of the Committee on Environmental Conservation, the committee conducted a successful investigation into the causes of "Love Canal," the nation's first major toxic dump site. During his tenure, he aided in the passage of the country's first law concerning regulation of acid rain. His committee also gained public attention for its investigation of the infiltration of the waste removal industry by organized crime.

U.S. House of Representatives

Campaigns
In 1992, 28th District Congressman Matthew F. McHugh retired after 18 years in the House. Hinchey won the Democratic nomination for the district, which had been renumbered the 26th after New York lost three districts as a result of the 1990 census. He defeated Republican Robert Moppert, a county legislator in Broome County (which includes Binghamton) in the November general election by a 50% – 47% margin. In 1994, Hinchey faced Moppert again; in that year's Republican Revolution wave election, Hinchey won by only 1,200 votes.

Hinchey's district was significantly reconfigured when New York lost two Congressional seats after the 2000 census. Hinchey was threatened with dismemberment of his district or with having to run against a popular and well-established Republican incumbent, either Ben Gilman or Sherwood Boehlert. In the intense political infighting over the redistricting, however, Hinchey emerged as one of the winners. To protect two younger Republican incumbents, the Republicans agreed to sacrifice the district of the 79-year-old Gilman, who chose to retire. In return, the Democrats accepted a district that threw together two of their incumbents, Louise Slaughter and John LaFalce, prompting the latter's retirement. Hinchey's district was renumbered the 22nd and wound a narrow, contorted path across eight counties in the southern part of the state, from the Hudson River through the Catskills and Binghamton to Ithaca, connecting the most politically liberal parts of the Southern Tier and Borscht Belt regions. This gerrymandered configuration is similar to the former New York's 26th congressional district.

Hinchey ran in historically Republican areas throughout his career (his Assembly district was held by Republicans from 1915 until McHugh won it for the Democrats in 1975). He is best categorized as having been a progressive populist. For example, he was one of the first and most outspoken opponents of the 2003 war in Iraq, and one of only 11 co-sponsors of the Kucinich Resolution to impeach President Bush. He bridged the ideological gap with a reputation for supporting many measures to improve integrity in government, by popular (in New York) advocacy of strong environmental protection, and by diligent constituent services. He sat on the Appropriations Committee, a post that helped him to deliver federal support on programs important to his district.

In 2010, Hinchey was elected to his tenth and final term, with a 52% to 48% margin over Republican George Phillips of Binghamton.

Hinchey was one of 31 members of the House who voted to uphold the objection to counting the 20 electoral votes from Ohio in the 2004 United States presidential election put forth by Ohio Rep. Tubbs Jones in order to encourage "a formal and legitimate debate about election irregularities". Republican President George Bush had won the state by 118,457 votes after a recount.

On June 18, 2008, he stated: "Should the people of the United States own refineries? Maybe so. Frankly, I think that's a good idea," but conceded it was unlikely the government would do so, and suggested putting national pressure on the oil companies.

Hinchey and veterans
Hinchey, a strong supporter of pro-veteran policies, helped vote numerous pieces of legislation into law. In 2009, Hinchey was a member of the House of Appropriations Committee and was a part of the largest funding for the Department of Veterans' affairs in the past 30 years. Hinchey wrote the Carmelo Rodriguez Military Medical Accountability Act, which would provide the opportunity for veterans to hold the military accountable for insufficient healthcare.

Energy
Hinchey was an original co-sponsor of the Small Business Clean Energy Financing Act. The act contributed about $630 million in loans to environmentally friendly energy companies in the years between 2006 and 2009. Hinchey was a solar energy supporter; he helped organize the non-profit organization called The Solar Energy Consortium (TSEC). TSEC supports the growth of a solar energy industry in New York, creating green jobs in the Hudson Valley area. Hinchey supported the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act. The bill supports green energy by offering rebates to homeowners who improve their homes to conserve more energy.

In 2010 midterm elections, Hinchey clashed with his opponent over shale gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing in upstate New York. Hinchey was against gas drilling in this area. Also, Obama's administration ignored a request by Hinchey to slow drilling in New York and Pennsylvania. Along with Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Hinchey introduced legislation called the "FRAC Act" which proposes lifting fracturing exemptions and forcing public disclosure.

Environment
Hinchey supported the Clean Air Act and did not approve of the Bush Administration's decision to roll back the New Source Review (NSR) component of the Act, fearing it would result in increased acid rain and more pollution of the lakes of the area.

Hinchey appeared in the 2010 documentary Gasland, discussing the FRAC Act, which he co-sponsored.

Medical marijuana
Hinchey introduced the Hinchey–Rohrabacher amendment in 2001, to prohibit the Justice Department from taking actions to interfere with the implementation of state medical cannabis laws. The amendment failed 152–273 upon its initial vote in 2003 and was defeated several more times in subsequent years up until Hinchey's 2012 retirement. In 2014, however, the amendment passed the House as the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment and was signed into law, providing supporters of medical cannabis with a key victory at the federal level.

In 2009, the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations approved adding a provision authored by Hinchey to the committee report on the fiscal 2010 Justice Department appropriations bill, requesting "clarification of the Department's policy regarding enforcement of federal laws and use of federal resources against individuals involved in medical marijuana activities."

Abortion

Hinchey supported a pro-choice position on abortion issues. He was a cosponsor of the Freedom of Choice Act and the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which seeks federal protection of free access to women's clinics and he fought Republican attempts to reduce abortion rights. Hinchey was also an advocate for family planning programs, including the Title X program.

However, Hinchey opposed late-term abortions except where necessary to protect the health of the mother.

Honors
Hinchey was made an Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau on September 4, 2009, by the Ambassador of the Netherlands in capacity of Queen Beatrix. He was awarded the Dutch royal order for his work to commemorate the quadricentennial anniversary of Henry Hudson's exploration and discovery of the river in New York and for Hinchey's efforts to strengthen the U.S.-Netherlands relationship.

Later votes
Representative Hinchey voted yes on H.R. 2433
Veterans Opportunity to Work Act of 2011. This law will amend title 38, United States Code, to make certain improvements in the laws relating to the employment and training of veterans, and for other purposes.

Hinchey, in August 2010, voted yes on the "Offshore Drilling and Other Energy Laws Amendments." This regulates or controls the use of oil and natural gas. It also increases safety on blowout preventers on oil wells, as well as upping the penalty for leaking or spilling of oil or "other hazardous substances" into the Gulf of Mexico. He also voted to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell in March 2010. This makes it illegal to dismiss someone from the army for being homosexual, having engaged in or suspected of engaging in "homosexual acts."

Another bill Hinchey voted yes on, the Aid to States for Medicaid, Teacher Employment and Other purposes, passed in the House in August 2010. This budgets $10 billion to the Education Jobs Fund to be given to the states for teacher hiring and training. It also increases Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP) to states in need and lengthens the period for states to increase their FMAP.

In November 2011, he voted to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the national motto and "encourag[e] the public display of the national motto in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions."

Speeches and public statements
In a letter sent on November 10, 2010, to Jeffrey Zients, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, Hinchey promoted the support of Job Corps. This program helps high-school dropouts find careers and receive their high school diplomas or GED's. He asked Zients for increased federal funding for this recovery program in the 2012 budget.

On October 18, 2010, Hinchey held a Medicare forum to reassure seniors about provisions in the health care bill that would or would not change parts of Social Security
and Medicare. He stated that the health care reform bill would increase the efficiency of Medicare; the Act would not cut into Medicare or social security funding.

Hinchey wrote a letter to President Barack Obama in October 2010 regarding Social Security. In the letter, he described to Obama how he believes social security is important and urged the President to increase its budget in the upcoming year.

Arctic offshore drilling
In May 2010, Hinchey, along with two other Progressive democrats, Lois Capps and Jay Inslee, began a petition to ask Obama to delay Shell from beginning exploratory drilling near Alaska. They wanted to understand the causes of the Gulf oil spills before Shell went ahead with Offshore drilling. Hinchey and the others were worried about the environmental effects if an accident were to occur; in the Arctic waters, a spill would not be contained as in the Gulf spill. Another priority was assuring native communities would not be harmed; since they often depend on fish and marine life to sustain them, their resources would be depleted if a spill happened.

Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program

After the New York Times first disclosed the existence of the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program in late 2005, Hinchey was among the earliest members of Congress to criticize the program. Not long after, Hinchey—along with three other House Democrats—John Lewis of Georgia, Henry Waxman of California, and Lynn Woolsey of California—wrote the Justice Department, requesting an investigation to determine whether Bush administration violated any laws in authorizing and carrying out the program. As a result, the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) commenced an investigation. It was later disclosed the OPR investigation was closed when President Bush refused to allow the Justice Department attorneys who were to conduct the investigation to have the security clearances to conduct the inquiry. After a public outcry, President Bush capitulated and allowed the investigators to have their security clearances so they could conduct the inquiry.

1994 gun incident

In December 1994, Hinchey was issued a summons after X-ray machines at Washington National Airport found a loaded .32-caliber handgun in his carry-on luggage before he boarded a flight. Hinchey claims to have forgotten the handgun was in his luggage. He pleaded no contest and was fined.

Retirement

In January 2012, Hinchey held a news conference at Senate House in Kingston, where he had announced his first run for Congress two decades earlier, to announce his retirement. "It's time for someone else", he told assembled reporters. His illness and age had been factors.

He denied his decision to step down had anything to do with the state's pending redistricting but said he wanted to make his intentions clear before the process was completed. His departure was seen as making it easier for the state's Democratic Party to decide which member of its congressional delegation would have to give up their district since New York had to eliminate two of its seats that year. Hinchey's seat was one of two, the other being that of newly elected Republican Bob Turner, eliminated in redistricting.

Personal life

On April 22, 2011, Hinchey's office announced he was being treated for a curable form of colon cancer. A statement released by his office said Hinchey would have surgery at the Albany Medical Center, receive treatment at the Ulster Radiation Oncology Center in Kingston, New York, and also undergo chemotherapy. The statement said he would continue to work during his treatment.

Hinchey had three children, one of whom, Michelle, went on to become a New York State Senator. He and his wife, Ilene Marder Hinchey, resided together in Saugerties, New York.

Death
Shortly after being treated for colon cancer, Hinchey began experiencing symptoms of frontotemporal dementia, a diagnosis that his family did not make public until 2017. Hinchey died from the disease at his home in Saugerties on November 22, 2017, at age 79. In December 2017, the Chicago City Council passed a resolution honoring Hinchey.

On July 26, 2018, President Donald Trump signed a bill renaming the Saugerties Post Office after Hinchey.

Rabbi Doniel Staum - Parshas Vayeshev/Chanukah 5773 "You Never Know"
by Rabbi Doniel Staum, LMSW

STAM TORAH
PARSHAS VAYESHEV/CHANUKAH 5773
YOU NEVER KNOW[1]
As a five-year-old child in a Polish village, Laizer Halberstam violated an unwritten rule by befriending a young Polish gentile neighbor. The two of them swapped stamps, coins, and one fateful day, they decided to swap prayers. Their parents would have been mortified had they known, but the two friends kept it a secret. Laizer taught his Polish friend a Jewish prayer and the friend taught Laizer a Christian prayer.
Ten years later, Laizer was fleeing the Nazis, traveling across Europe disguised as a Christian. One day a Nazi officer boarded a train that Laizer was on and demanded to see everyone's documents. Laizer had forged document, which had helped him get this far, but for some reason this Nazis suspicions were aroused. The Nazi looked at him contemptuously, "Really? You say you are a good Christian? Well then why don't you recite for me a Christian prayer that every good Christian knows?" Fortuitously, the prayer he was asked to recite was the same prayer Laizer had been taught by his Polish friend ten years earlier. Thanks to his good memory, he was able to recite it flawlessly, to the Nazis satisfaction[2].
The brothers of Yosef ruled that according to Jewish law, Yosef was deserving of death! By relating his dreams, Yosef boldly predicted that he would become the reigning monarch over the family. The tribes viewed the dreams as an affront and open challenge to the future monarchy of Yehuda.
The punishment for challenging the monarchy of a Jewish king is death. Therefore, as a valid judicial court they decided that it was their responsibility to impose the death penalty upon Yosef. The verse relates that Reuven intervened and sought to save Yosef from their clutches. He advised them to cast Yosef into a nearby pit and leave him to his fate. Not realizing that there were venomous snakes and scorpions in the pit Reuven silently hoped to deter the brothers long enough so that he could return to the pit and bring Yosef home after the shevotim had left.
Yalkut Shimoni[3] makes a fascinating observation: The Torah teaches us appropriate conduct that when one performs a mitzvah he should do so with pure motives and a happy heart. Had Reuven realized that G-d would record in the Torah that he had sought to save Yosef, he would have carried Yosef on his shoulders and personally delivered him safely to Yaakov.
The Medrash continues, that if Aharon knew that the Torah would record that he went out to the desert of Egypt while the Jews were still enslaved there, in order to greet his brother Moshe who was returning from Midyan, he would have come to greet Moshe with drums and tremendous fanfare. Finally, if Boaz knew that the Prophet[4] would describe the provisions he provided for Rus, he would have given her delicacies and foods fit for aristocracy. The Medrash concludes that today we do not have a prophet to record our actions, so who does so? Eliyahu Hanavi and Moshiach, and G-d seals it.
What is the meaning of this Medrash? Is it possible to think that Reuven, Aharon, and Boaz were selfishly motivated and driven by fanfare and honor? These were three of the most distinguished personalities in Klal Yisroel whose righteousness is legendary and stands as a model for us. It is foolish to entertain the thought that these great men acted out of selfish motives.
Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky zt'l offers the following insight: When Reuven went to save Yosef he thought he was merely saving his younger brother from harm. He had no way of realizing the far-reaching implications and consequences of his actions. By saving Yosef, Reuven prevented an ordeal that would have had catastrophic consequences. Without Yosef the whole future of Klal Yisroel would be called into question. On the other hand, had Reuven finished the job and brought Yosef safely back to Yaakov immediately, the whole tragedy of Yosef's descent to Mitzrayim and consequently the descent of Yaakov and all of Klal Yisroel to Mitzrayim, could have been averted.
When Aharon came out to greet Moshe he had no way of realizing that he was giving encouragement to Moshe to fulfill his mission which culminated with the exodus from Egypt en masse. Similarly, Boaz had no way of realizing that his involvement with Rus was laying the foundation for the eventual birth of Moshiach. It was their union that produced Dovid Hamelech and ultimately his descendant, Moshiach.
Had they realized the extent of the significance of what they were engaged in they would have left no stone unturned until they completed their mission in the most glamorous manner possible.
The Medrash concludes with a poignant message for us. Today Eliyahu and Moshiach record our actions. This means that our actions, which we wave off with the back of our hand as insignificant and worthless, may actually be the foundations and the progenitors for the future redemption. If we knew that Moshiach was recording our actions we would do them with greater alacrity, precision, devotion, and enthusiasm.
The Gemara Shabbos[5], in its discussion about the holiday and laws of Chanukah, quotes two statements in the name of Rav Kahana. The first is that one who lights a Menorah more than twenty cubits off the ground has not fulfilled his obligation. The Gemara explains that one normally does not strain his eyes to look above twenty cubits. The purpose of the Chanukah lights is to publicize the miracle and, therefore, if the candles are beyond the range of the common person's view the mitzvah has not been fulfilled.
The second statement is based on the verse which states that Reuven suggested to his brothers that they cast Yosef into an empty pit that had no water. Rav Kahana deduces from the superfluous words "the pit was empty - it had no water" to mean that although it was devoid of water it was full of scorpions and snakes.
What is the connection between these two seemingly unrelated concepts?[6]
My Rebbe, Rabbi Berel Wein, explained that there is an additional connection between the story of Yosef and Reuven and Chanukah, based on the aforementioned Medrash. In a certain sense Reuven came up short. He did not realize the greatness of the moment and didn't take advantage of his opportunity. The heroic epic of Chanukah is the 'antidote' for Reuven's 'mistake'. Chanukah is a lesson in seizing the moment and rising to the occasion. The Syrian-Greeks were an implacable foe with powerful well-trained armies fighting against a comparatively laughable force of Maccabees.
In the third battle of Emmaus, a Greek force of 40,000 infantry and 7,000 cavalry went out to fight a paltry 7,000 Jews who were poorly equipped and untrained fighters. In the fourth battle at Bais Zur, Antiochus dispatched an army of 60,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry to fight a Jewish force of 10,000. The Jews were outflanked and hopelessly outnumbered. It's analogous to Yeshiva students closing their volumes of Gemarah and bonding together to battle the Syrian army. Yet, the Chasmonaim prevailed.
When he was a Rabbi in Miami Beach, Rabbi Wein had the distinct privilege of being the chauffeur of the great Ponovezher Rav, Rabbi Shlomo Kahaneman zt'l. Rav Kaheneman would occasionally come to Miami to solicit funds for his renowned Yeshiva.
On one occasion, the Rav related to Rabbi Wein the following story: Once, the Chofetz Chaim was collecting for a particular charity and he arrived at the home of a wealthy individual. The Chofetz Chaim explained to the man the worthiness and importance of his cause, but the wealthy man was unmoved. "I'm sorry, Rebbe. But things are tight right now. Maybe in a few months it will be easier for me to give. But at the moment I cannot help you. " The Chofetz Chaim was forced to move on.
World War I broke out and the world changed forever. In 1919, soon after the Great War ended, the Chofetz Chaim walked into a shul where many refugees were sleeping on benches. The Chofetz Chaim noticed that wealthy man sitting among the other beggars and he realized that the man had lost his wealth and was now reduced to a pauper. The Chofetz Chaim quickly looked away so as not to embarrass the man. However, the man noticed the Chofetz Chaim and approached him. The man asked the Chofetz Chaim if he recognized him. When the Chofetz Chaim admitted that he did, the man said, "Rebbe, ich hub a taynah oiyf dir (Rebbe, I have a complaint against you)." The Chofetz Chaim looked at him incredulously, "You have a complaint against me?" The man emphatically replied, "Rebbe, when I had the money you should have grabbed it out of my hands! Now I have nothing, not even the mitzvah."
The Ponovezher Rav looked at Rabbi Wein and concluded with a twinkle in his eye, "Rabbi Wein, there will be times when you will need to rip the money out of their hands!"
G-d sends us unlimited opportunities every day. The question is, what do we do with those opportunities? Reuven, Aharon, and Boaz, great as they were, were somewhat remiss because they did not adequately seize the moment. The Chashmonaim however, stood poised for battle with nothing other than prayer and belief in G-d. They acted upon their inner feelings of religious zeal and did not allow their passion to fizzle and fade.
Noted psychologist Erik Erikson[7] described old age as the time when one must overcome the crisis of 'integrity versus despair'. Tragically, many adults reach their golden years with deep feelings of regret and despair. "If only I would have" and "Why didn't I" abound. Healthy senescence entails a feeling of integrity, stemming from an inner feeling of accomplishment for a life lived with meaning and purpose; a life which filled the world with a little more light.

It is proving that the naked eye does not focus on sights that are more than a distance of twenty cubits. If Reuven wanted to save Yosef why did he cast him in a pit full of venomous snakes? We must conclude that because the pit must have been more than twenty cubits deep, Reuven was unaware of what was at the bottom.]

The Public Option Explained
Building On What's Working
Partnership for America's Health Care Future
8.14.20 / Press Releases
Partnership Launches New Ads: Part Of National Campaign, Ads Will Run During Convention Coverage
WASHINGTON – Today, the Partnership for America's Health Care Future announced it will launch two new ads around the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and Republican National Convention (RNC) and run through the fall. The ads, titled "Time" and "Build," are part of a substantial national public education effort that will air on the major broadcast TV and cable networks in select markets during both conventions, as well as on multiple digital video distribution channels in select cities and states. The Partnership will also run advertisements on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
During this critical time, when millions of Americans are depending on access to affordable, high-quality health coverage and care, the Partnership's new ad, "Time," highlights the impact of the public option on American families. Instead of creating a one-size-fits-all new government health insurance system we can't afford, "Time" delivers a message of unity and calls for building on what's working where private coverage, Medicare and Medicaid work together to deliver the affordable, high-quality care Americans deserve.
To Watch The Ad "Time" Click Here Or On The Screenshot Above
Additionally, the Partnership is releasing "Build." Every American deserves access to affordable, high-quality health coverage and care, but "Build" shows how a one-size-fits-all government health insurance system called the public option would do the exact opposite. Instead of forcing Americans into a new government-controlled health insurance system that would demand Americans to pay more for worse care, in the new ad the Partnership advocates for building on what's working where private coverage, Medicare and Medicaid work together.
To Watch The Ad "Build" Click Here Or On The Screenshot Above
We want to work together to lower costs, protect patient choice, expand access, improve quality and foster innovation. And whether it's called Medicare for All, Medicare buy-in, or the public option, one-size-fits-all health care will never allow us to achieve those goals.

The European Union depends heavily on imports of natural resources, such as minerals and metals that make up products like mobile phones. The exploitation and trade of these natural resources can lead in many countries to human rights violations and environmental destruction. Furthermore, in some countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia or Myanmar, the trade in minerals fuels violent conflicts and abusive actors.
The vote in the European Parliament on 19 May provides a landmark opportunity to tackle the trade in conflict minerals and better align Europe with international standards, including the UN Guiding Principles.
Civil society organisations, 140 church leaders, progressive business and investors have all called for a mandatory regulation that requires all companies importing minerals into the EU – whether in their raw form or contained in products – to carry out supply chain due diligence and publicly report in line with international standards.
The proposal by the Committee on International Trade (INTA) is far too narrow to be effective. It proposes due diligence obligations only for around 20 companies. For the vast majority of companies importing tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (3TG), responsible sourcing remains entirely optional. As a result, INTA allows vast volumes of 3TG to enter the EU unchecked, and at risk of fuelling abuse and conflict.
By voting for due diligence obligations that apply to all 3TG imports the European Parliament has the historic opportunity to tackle the links between the trade in these minerals, and conflict and human rights abuse.

But what would happen if you were able to upsell 30% of your consumers, as they choose to spend lavishly on a $10 for an additional item, while another 10% of will register for an annual plan of $500?
Now for each 100 visitors who visit your sales funnel, you will sell 10 items, a trio of additional items, and a single yearly plan. This results in a revenue of $600, which translates to a massive 1,200% increase in earnings.
Now the increased profit margins will allow you the essential leverage to outspend your business rivals in crucial areas such as advertisements that will further increase the variety of potential clients who will stroll right into my sales funnel.

Clickfunnels also has a market where you can purchase and sell free or paid templates. But don't worry because buying design templates isn't essential for most individuals, there is a big variety of design templates that come integrated in for complimentary.
Anybody who has actually utilized landing page software application in the past will truly appreciate Clickfunnels simple drag and drop editor. Gone are the days of making minor tweaks and continuously relaunching the sales page to ensure the changes look the way you want them to look.
With the Clickfunnels editor, any modifications you make will look precisely the very same when you launch the page. This will seriously save you so much time and a lot of frusturation.
This is another effective feature that puts Clickfunnels in a classification on its own because it comes stock with many powerful widgets that other landing page soft currently does not.
I like spreading out the bright side with other individuals, and I genuinely think that this is how we were built. ClickFunnels permits me to share all of my funnels with both good friends and customers, and is a cool way to earn some loan on the side, too. How do I do that?
First, within the Settings tab of any of my funnels, I can quickly select the Share Funnel URL. This suggests each time a visitor gets here at that specific URL, they will have the ability to include this particular funnel straight into their particular account, just if they take place to be a present member of ClickFunnels.
If they are on the incorrect side of generating income, this is where the upsell bit starts: they will be offered an opportunity to try ClickFunnels free of charge for 14 days in order to acquire my funnel.
Apart from that, Share Funnel URL doubles up as my affiliate link. Simply put, I will have the ability to earn passive earnings through a repeating commission presuming the new user stays. Why not learn how to utilize this feature by being a ClickFunnels expert?
From there, I understood that it will require coming up with niche particular sales funnels in order to sell that to small-sized companies. Apart from that, I could also sell the very exact same funnels in the ClickFunnels market, where different ClickFunnels users can purchase them.
Sales funnels have this innate ability to be a fantastic lead magnet or reward across various specific niches, and is a wonderful approach to draw in visitors into my own funnel through a deal that supplies something that they will find beneficial.
Choosing a funnel type and design template and adding it to your account can take up to 10 seconds each time you do so. I know, not a substantial offer but it can be an annoyance.
The ClickFunnels base plan has a limit of 20 funnels, 100 pages, and 20,000 visitors each month. This kind of draws when you initially take a look at it.
But when you really think of it, if you are getting 20,000 visitors a month you can easily manage to opt for the updated limitless plan.
While ClickFunnels boasts of a rather vast array of functions and functions, it can be a little intimidating to brand-new users. While the general interface in ClickFunnels is fantastic, it might take a couple of trials in developing several funnels before getting the hang of things.
Clickfunnels Pricing For 2018 [Updated] The most budget friendly ClickFunnels plan will cost $97 every month. For somewhat less than a Benjamin, you have the ability to access the totality of funnel creation tools, although the limitations that I discussed earlier (creation of 20 funnels, 100 pages, and 20,000 visitors) will remain in location.
If you were to pick both features, then you would have to hand over $297 each month for the Etison Suite strategy. This is the plan that offers all of the bells and whistles, and most significantly, endless funnels, pages, and visitors.
It does not seem as though there are any ClickFunnels coupon codes offered out there to take a smaller hit to your wallet, but going with a yearly payment will get you a 16% ClickFunnels discount. Whipping out my calculator, I realized it amounted to spending for simply 10 months, while the staying 2 months are complimentary.
Clickfunnels can be checked out danger complimentary when you sign-up for a totally free trial. I simply found a deal that will allow you to check out Clickfunnels for a 30 day complimentary trial – so if you desire to check out Clickfunnels – this would be the best time since it is a restricted time deal.
LeadPages occurs to be a market leader when it concerns developing landing pages, and has gotten a level of unprecedented appeal. It does, nevertheless, have a rather restricted scope compared to ClickFunnels.
While you can wind up with a snazzy landing page quickly to help me gather leads, it will not have the ability to do much for me in regards to offering a product and services. Keep in mind, LeadPages' strength lies in list building (as its name suggests), however leave the sales to funnel bit to ClickFunnel.
Therein lies the distinction: SamCart is suggested to be quickly set up and offer right now, providing assistance for both Stripe and Paypal while including 17 different sort of customizable checkout page design templates. Nevertheless, it lacks the degree of flexibility that ClickFunnel's drag and drop editor provides. To put it simply, ClickFunnels is able to design practically any kind of checkout page that I prefer.
I would not like to be restricted by Samcart's basic personalizations and pre-made templates. Apart from that, you might discover that Samcart is not up to the job of catching leads and developing total sales funnels.
While LeadPages and SamCart are definitely helpful tools that have their own strengths, we have discovered that ClickFunnels is the very best all-encompassing tool for services.
We hope our ClickFunnel review has been practical in identifying the right service to you! Whichever service you wind up selecting, see how rapidly your sales– and profits– have the ability to increase!
