Research Paper Basics
What research writing is and isn't
Note: The following samples depend on these websites:
Microsoft Encarta Article on Scott Joplin (no longer available online)
Wikipedia article on Scott Joplin
AfriClassical.com: African Heritage in Classical Music
This one isn't research:
Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist, and was one of the most important developers of ragtime music. He was born in Texarkana, Texas and taught himself piano as a child. In his teens he became a traveling pianist in the low-life districts that provided the main employment for black musicians. He settled in St. Louis in 1885. In 1893 he played at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and in 1894 he moved to Sedalia, Missouri.
This extract is drawn word-for-word from Encarta, but I haven't mentioned the source. Yes, I did make some changes, but they didn't represent original thinking or analysis on my part. All I did was to make the beginning read more like a paragraph and substitute occasional words ("traveling" for "itinerate," for example). This isn't original writing; it's editing. If I were to submit this as my own, I'd be committing plagiarism. Here's the same paragraph with my writing in black and Encarta's in red:
Scott Joplin was an American composer and pianist, and was one of the most important developers of ragtime music. He was born in Texarkana, Texas and taught himself piano as a child. [seven words deleted] In his teens he became a traveling pianist in the low-life districts that provided the main employment for black musicians. He settled in St. Louis in 1885. In 1893 he played at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and in 1894 he moved to Sedalia, Missouri.
Attempt #2—still not research:
In 1894 he moved to Sedalia, Missouri. There he published (1899) his "Original Rags" and "Maple Leaf Rag" and opened a teaching studio. At first Joplin encountered rejections, and was unable to make any substantial sales, but then he sold "Maple Leaf Rag" to a white businessman, John Stark. Joplin received a one-cent royalty for each copy and ten free copies for his own use, as well as an advance. It has been estimated that Joplin made $360 per year on this piece in his lifetime.
This one was more work. It's something called Mosaic Plagiarism and consists of stringing together quotations from various sources, again without citation. I still haven't told you where my material came from, and I haven't done any real thinking; I just gathered quotations to glue together. Below you can see the Encarta material in red, the African Heritage in Classical Music material in green, and the Wikipedia material in purple.
Attempt #2a—at least it's honest (almost):
In 1894 Joplin moved to Sedalia, Missouri, where he published (1899) his "Original Rags" and "Maple Leaf Rag" and opened a teaching studio (Vaughn). At first he encountered rejections, and was unable to make any substantial sales, but then he sold "Maple Leaf Rag" to a white businessman, John Stark (Zick). Joplin received a one-cent royalty for each copy and ten free copies for his own use, as well as an advance. It has been estimated that Joplin made $360 per year on this piece in his lifetime (Wikipedia contributors).
This one is nearly honest because it does identify the sources of the material (though that last one doesn't give the impression that the whole one-cent royalty business came from Wikipedia—looks like material added by the author of this paper). It is a patchwork quilt. The main difference between this one and the mosaic plagiarism is that I've given you the idea I got the material from elsewhere—it's not the result of my personal experience and knowledge. I'm still simply gluing the sources together and not doing any real writing or thinking—I'm depending on the sources to do the writing itself (substituting a few pronouns hardly counts as "writing").
The patchwork quilt isn't too different from the "Middle School Report."
Attempt #3—the middle school report:
From Wikipedia I learned that Joplin began selling his music in 1895. His pieces included "Original Rags", "Please Say You Will", "A Picture of Her Face", "Maple Leaf Rag", "The Entertainer", "Elite Syncopations", "March Majestic", "Ragtime Dance", "The Chrysanthemum", "Bethena", and two operas, Treemonisha and A Guest of Honor. His final piece was "Magnetic Rag."
Well, there's nothing really wrong with this one, but it is a mere listing of titles. So much has been left out that the reader is mystified. It's not obvious, for example, that Treemonisha was much later than A Guest of Honor, that "Bethena" was a sad piece written as he was grieving over the death of his wife, or that "Magnetic Rag" was a result of Joplin finally going into the publishing business. It's not plagiarism; it's accurate; but it doesn't actually work toward making a point. The "Middle School Report" contains no critical thinking or synthesis; it's just a collation of sources.
Attempt #4—I approve of the source:
"Joplin's music underwent a great revival after some of his compositions, including 'The Entertainer' (1902), were used as the background music in the film The Sting (1973)" (Vaughn). I really agree with Vaughn because I've never heard his music anywhere else, and The Sting plays it a lot. The music really adds to the movie and makes it a great experience. Now you hear his music a lot on the radio and in other movies.
This isn't really research. It's my opinion, triggered by something I read. The reader has learned nothing new about Joplin—at least nothing beyond the quoted material. Because I am not a respected authority on Joplin, my personal view ("I agree with this") is pointless. Scholarship from a respected Joplin authority would give backing for opinion beyond "I liked it." This comment has no critical thinking, only a shallow gut reaction.
Attempt #5: A research paper that makes a point
In spite of deep-seated white prejudice against Black musicians—Joplin apparently played at Chicago's Columbian Exposition in 1893 but would never be part of an official program there (Zick) and his early employment was restricted to "low-life districts" (Vaughn)—white benefactors helped Joplin's career significantly. His first piano teacher was a German neighbor in Texarkana (Vaughn), and his first major commercial success, "Maple Leaf Rag," was published by a white businessman, John Stark, who gave him an advance and royalties rather than simply buying the piece outright (Wikipedia contributors).
This is what we're aiming for: your own critical thinking that uses outside sources to back up and reinforce your point. A good critical thesis is a statement that is not immediately obvious and requires you to bring out evidence for support.
In spite of deep-seated white prejudice against Black musicians, white benefactors helped Joplin's career significantly.

Q: jquery ui datepicker day/month only, not year selection I've searched here in SO and all around but no properly solutions founded for this issue.
With jQueryUI DatePicker  I need to select a recursive date for all years, so I don't wanna show year selection, 'cause it doesn't make sense.
How can I obtain this inside the call like the following?
$('#myInput').datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm" });

Note: I can't use css solution as suggested here .ui-datepicker-year{
    display:none;
} because there are other datepickers in the same page.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A: Try this demo: http://jsfiddle.net/rAdV6/20/
Also see both screenshots below.
To elaborate further, this fix will allow to have multiple date pickers with  or without year on top appear on the top of the calendar.
jQuery code:
$('.DateTextBox.NoYear').datepicker({
    beforeShow: function (input, inst) {
        inst.dpDiv.addClass('NoYearDatePicker');
    },
    onClose: function(dateText, inst){
        inst.dpDiv.removeClass('NoYearDatePicker');
    }
});

$('#datepicker').datepicker( { changeYear: false, dateFormat: 'dd/mm',});
$('#datepicker1').datepicker( { changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'dd/mm', });
$('#datepicker2').datepicker( { changeYear: false, dateFormat: 'dd/mm', });

CSS:
.NoYearDatePicker .ui-datepicker-year
{
   display:none;
}

HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all">

date (without year) <input type="text" id="datepicker" class="DateTextBox NoYear">

date 1: (With year) <input type="text" id="datepicker1" >

date 2: (Without year) <input type="text" id="datepicker2" class="DateTextBox NoYear">

How it appears in my lappy OSX:

A: Try this:
$("#myInput").datepicker();
$("#myInput").datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "dd/mm");

As jQuery UI DatePicker Documentaion,
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker#option-dateFormat
You have to call below function in Initialization.
$("#myInput").datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm" });

It will not work if you call it after init method.

A: Building upon the answer from Tats_innit, here is a solution which solves a couple of its problems.

$(function() {
  $('.dp').datepicker({
    dateFormat: 'd MM yy',
    beforeShow: function(inp, inst) {
      if (inp.classList.contains("Birthday")) {
        inst.dpDiv.addClass('BirthdayDatePicker');
        return {
          dateFormat: 'MM d',
          defaultDate: new Date(1904, 0, 1),
          minDate: new Date(1904, 0, 1),
          maxDate: new Date(1904, 11, 31),
        };
      }
    },
    onClose: function(dateText, inst) {
      inst.dpDiv.removeClass('BirthdayDatePicker');
    }
  });
});
.BirthdayDatePicker .ui-datepicker-year {
  display: none;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">

Birthday: <input type='text' class='dp Birthday' placeholder='Month day'>

Defaults: <input type='text' class='dp' placeholder='day Month year'>

I find that using a class on the input is a simpler way to specify which behavior we want out of the datepicker.
If the Birthday class is found, we use the year 1904 rather than whatever the current year is because 1904 is a leap year which insures that February 29th is available.  Also we limit the widget to one 12-month period with the minDate/MaxDate options.  You could also include numberOfMonths: [ 3, 4 ] in the return'd object to display the whole year at once if you like.

A: I know it's a pretty old quesion, but maybe it will be helpful for someone. If you set the option changeYear: false you can see a  with an year value, but if you set changeYear: true you can see a <select>. We can use this difference like this:

$(function() {
  $("#year-datepicker").datepicker({
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: true
  });

  $("#no-year-datepicker").datepicker({
    dateFormat: "MM d",
    changeMonth: true,
    changeYear: false
  });
});
span.ui-datepicker-year {
  display: none;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />

With year: <input type="text" id="year-datepicker">

Without year: <input type="text" id="no-year-datepicker">

A: Couldn't you do
#myInput .ui-datepicker-year{ display:none; }

to restrict it to just the datepicker you're concerned about?

A: Simple solution for this :
$(".daypicker").datepicker( {
    changeYear: false,
    dateFormat: 'MM-dd',
}).focus(function () {
    $(".ui-datepicker-year").hide();
});

It wont affect to other datepickers in same page.

I've always liked the vests, and in summer leftover almost all clothing, can continue wearing the sea of good, because not only for the looks of office, but with them you can get Bohemian looks, rockers or more formal. All are valid if you choose well how to combine them and ideal vest for every situation.
The fringes are more than ever, and if in the spring the fringed jackets went on rampage, in summer we replaced them with a cooler option. fringe vests. You'll find them at Buylevard or at Stradivarius.
I really like this super choice rock: decorate a romantic dress summer white with a leather vest with zippers. I just love these contrasts.
And of course, you can not miss a single black vest getting more formal and urban to do a simple look with t-shirt and jeans shorts. In summer, the vest is a complement that you can not fail us to mount a good styling.
This Spring We Hold a (Great) Invasion of Fringe!


Leave your ship and explore Stockholm on a privately guided half-day tour. Begin at Fjällgatan, a viewpoint that offers a sweeping panorama of this beautiful city. Walk along the winding alleys past houses, shops, soaring church spires, and Stortorget square. Observe the Royal Palace – the sovereign's official residence. With 608 rooms, this is the largest palace in the world still used by a head of state – King Carl XVI Gustav.
Continue to the island of Djurgården, home to what is considered to be the most visited museum in Scandinavia. Your destination is the Vasa Museum, housing the only almost fully intact 17th century ship that has ever been salvaged. The wooden warship Vasa sank during her maiden voyage in 1628 and sat on the bottom of Stockholm's harbor until it was raised 333 years later. It is an amazing sight and the museum offers superb insight into Swedish maritime history. Transfer back to your cruise ship.

Koeznetski Most (Russisch: Кузне́цкий мост ) is een station aan de Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaja-lijn van de Moskouse metro. Het station is, net als de bovengelegen winkelstraat, genoemd naar de Smederijbrug die eeuwenlang, iets ten westen van het station bij het kruispunt Koeznetski Most met de Oelitsa Neglinnaja, de Neglinnaja overspande. In 1809 werd de Neglinnaja overkluisd met de Oelitsa Neglinnaja en verdween de brug. Ter nagedachtenis aan de brug werden de doorgangen tussen de middenhal en de perrons als nabootsing van de pijlers gebouwd, waarmee de suggestie wordt opgeroepen dat de reizigers onder de brug lopen.

Het station werd op 17 december 1975 als onderdeel van het sluitstuk van de  Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaja-lijn onder de binnenstad geopend en in 2016 gerenoveerd. Het stationsgebouw bevindt zich op de binnenplaats van de Oelitsa Rozjdestvenka 6, een zijstraat van Oelitsa Koeznetski Most. De stationshal is met roltrappen verbonden met het noordwesteinde van de ondergrondse perronhal op 39,5 meter diepte.  Het zuidoosteinde van de middenhal is met roltrappen verbonden met een overstaptunnel pal voor de gevel van het FSB hoofdkwartier. Deze tunnel komt uit onder het midden van de perrons van Loebjanka die eveneens via roltrappen met de overstaptunnel verbonden zijn.

Ontwerp en inrichting
Na Komsomolskaja uit 1952 waren de drie stations van lijn 7 binnen de ringlijn, waaronder Koeznetski Most, de eersten die weer als kolommenstation werden gebouwd. Koeznetski Most werd op 39,5 meter diepte gebouwd met geprefabriceerde schachtringen uit gietijzer volgens bestaande blauwdrukken. De diameter van de twee buitenste schachtringen is 8,5 meter, terwijl de middelste een diameter van 9,5 meter hebben.
De breedte van het perron bedraagt 16,1 meter tussen de sporen, de perronhal tussen de "pijlers" is 8,2 meter breed en 6,25 meter hoog. De overspanning tussen de "pijlers"is 5,25 meter. De kolommen en de overspanningen daartussen zijn bekleed met grijsblauw en roze gazganmarmer. De tunnelwanden hebben een bekleding van wit koelgamarmer boven perronhoogte en daaronder zwart en grijs graniet. Naast de stationsnaam zijn ook zes aluminium sierstukken op de tunnelwanden aangebracht. Kunstenaar M.N. Aleksejev vervaardigde afbeeldingen van zaken in een smederij zoals een aambeeld met vonken, tangen en een hamer, een sikkel, oude wapens, bijlen, schoppen en geweren. In het midden van het perron staan bankjes in een P-vorm die een trap naar de bergruimte onder het perron verbergen. Het perron zelf bestaat uit roze graniet tegels met biezen van grijs en zwart graniet en is op een aantal plaatsen voorzien van vierkanten in dezelfde kleuren als de biezen. De vloer voor de roltrappen naar Loebjanka bestaat uit bruine en witte keramische tegels die willekeurig zijn gelegd.
De verlichting is aangebracht op een doorlopende balk met hoekige armaturen die voor een indirecte verlichting zorgen. In de perronhal hangt de verlichtingsbalk in het midden, bij de sporen boven de perronrand. Aanvankelijk waren de armaturen eenvoudig in de lengterichting ontworpen, maar later werd dat veranderd in de huidige vorm. In 1977 kregen de architecten van het station,  N.A. Aljesjina en N.K. Samojlova, een prijs voor hun ontwerp van de Raad van ministers van de Sovjet-Unie.

Reizigersverkeer
Op even dagen vertrekt de eerste metro richting het zuidoosten om 5:48 uur, op oneven dagen is dit 5:46 uur. In westelijke richting is dit op oneven dagen om 5:55 uur, op even dagen door de week is het 5:58 uur en in het weekeinde om 5:59 uur.

Metro 2033
Het station speelt een rol in de roman en het gelijknamige spel Metro 2033 van Dmitri Gloechovski waarin het station verschillende werkplaatsen herbergt.

Picador acquires debut by award-winning screenwriter
Pan Macmillan imprint Picador has announced it has acquired local rights to a debut novel by award-winning Australian screenwriter Shirley Barrett.
Barrett's scripts include Love Serenade and South Solitary. She has also worked as a director on television programs including 'Offspring' and 'Love My Way'.
In a release, Picador said the debut Rush Oh! is set in 1908 near the township of Eden on the New South Wales coast. It is 'a story about family, fish and animals; and about trying to come to terms with life's disappointments. It is also a celebration of an extraordinary episode in Australian history, when a pod of Killer whales and a family of whalers formed a fond, unique allegiance'.
Picador publisher Alex Craig said it was a 'rambunctious and delightful novel' that 'casts a spell from the get go, with its depiction of Eden's whaling days as narrated by the novel's indefatigable heroine, Mary'. 'Shirley Barrett is a wonderful Australian voice, and I can't wait to share this novel with readers everywhere.'
Barrett is represented by Curtis Brown and North American rights to her novel have been acquired by Little, Brown, while UK rights have been acquired by Virago.
Picador will publish Rush Oh! in the second half of 2015.

Xama Adventures, an adventure travel specialist offers a 4 day river rafting trail on the mighty Orange River, near Vioolsdrift in the Richtersveld . This trail offers a fantastic opportunity to escape city life for an adventure and really is a must do! Our private camp is wonderfully green and lush and overlooks the Orange River, whilst the ablution blocks are spotless and have piping hot water. Pizza restaurant, fully licensed bar and accommodation upgrade available on request. This is where we meet for our river trips before embarking down river.
Today we continue to our take out point just below "baby shambok" our last exciting rapid of the river trip, but before we get there we enjoy the open pools, time dependant take a short hike up the old fluorspar mine and enjoy the breath taking views. There will be plenty of time for splashing around, drifting and experience many facets of this unique mountainous landscape. On arrival at the take out point we will be met by the take out crew, unload the rafts and make our way back to our base camp for your departure or enjoy your last evening overlooking the mighty Orange River with a relaxing evening at base camp.


Since moving to Sacramento four years ago, I had given up my daily walks, and consequently, I've gained 40 pounds, many aches and pains, and a really negative view of what humans tend to do to the Earth in urban places.
Some of you are aware that I've struggled to align with living in an urban area. There are things I love so much about it, but the impact of so many humans on such a condensed piece of our Earth makes me shudder, and I often think, "Oh, this is so terrible!" and consequently, the Universe responds with, "Beth, you ain't seen nothin' yet." And then all I can see is more trash, more shopping carts in the river, and more people struggling to make a home and a life in places that just aren't that well-suited for living.
I decided about three months ago – with some significant urging from my doctor and my rising blood pressure, as well as my mental health – that I would resume my daily walks, no matter how dreadful the scenery.
But I became so frustrated as I saw those broken bottles, discarded fast-food containers, car parts, and paraphernalia of all kinds littered along the playground fence, strewn in the gutters, and all along the sidewalks.
I became so angry when I walked the river and saw a shopping cart, cigarette butts, and other unmentionable items discarded in and around her beauty or, when I went to get in my car with my grandson one morning, saw a woman light up a meth pipe in the vehicle just a few feet away from us.
I wanted the people around me to change. I wanted to call some authority to tell them it was their job to make things different, and simultaneously, I was missing the significant beauty which was abundant and all around me.
This was a light bulb of insight that I needed for my own shift. I've been walking around with anger and resentment and the thought: Why can't they be better? Why can't they change?
Tosha-via-Sasha reminded me that if I choose to stay in the Why can't they? Why don't they? mindset, the Universe shall respond to me with, "Honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet." So, here's my practice (because it's all just a practice): See the beauty, and be grateful for it.
And as I shifted to that place in my head … the place of seeing moments of beauty? It was all waiting for me, as it had been since I've moved here four years ago. And guess what…?
I ain't seen nothing yet!
So where are you – in your personal life, in your professional life, in your relationships, or in the world around you – asking the Universe to show you more of what you don't want instead of all the joy, abundance, peace, and happiness that is available to you?
Because what I can tell you is: Honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Who killed Goliath?
These two passages appear to be contradictory:
So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him. (1 Samuel 17:50)
In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod. (2 Samuel 21:19)
How can these be reconciled?
textual-discrepancies david 1-samuel 2-samuel
GerepGerep
I suggest you split these into separate questions to ask one at a time. These questions would probably work better on this dedicated site.
– Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE
Background: Wikipedia on Elhanan, son of Jair
– Muke Tever
1 Chronicles 20:5 records the same event. However, it states that it was the brother of Goliath.
Other translations, such as the NIV, show the reference in 2 Samuel 21:19 as being the brother of Goliath as well.
It most likely is just dependent on the translator of the time.
PMIIPMII
An explanation for the first question is that God is in control over everything and that everything happens because he has allowed it. Sometimes he strike people with afflictions, but that does not mean he really wants to do it. Note the word "willingly" in the second verse. He does not do it willingly, but that does not mean he doesn't do it.
An explanation for the second question is that it was Goliath's brother (since Goliath himself had already been slain). Note that names and relations was not as well recorded then as it is today. Also, the same writer would not make such a large mistake in this obvious example.
In this type of issue, where there might be doubt as to whether the translation is correct or not, it's a good idea to examine the original source and if that is not possible examine a number of different translations of the passage. I did this by looking up the verse in every English translation available at BibleGateway.com and found that the most of them uses the word "willingly". Many says that God does not enjoy doing it and some says that he does not do it by heart.
ShathurShathur
The "willing" is the word I focused on for the first part, but it begs the question: how does one coerce an omnipotent being? if it isn't by will, then by what? (note: when we do things against our will, that is because we have external pressures). Re the second - is there any particular scriptural support for the "brother" idea?
– Marc Gravell
@MarcGravell There are more than one level of will. It is not just a question of willing or not willing. A father sometimes has to discipline his child. It is not his desire to do it, but he recognizes that not doing it would (eventually) yield grave consequences. Therefore he disciplines his child, not by force and not by desire, but for everyone's best. God does the same thing. He punishes the wicked because he is loving and just, it is his very nature that urges him to do it, not external forces (for there is none).
– Shathur
ultimately I guess maybe arguing over the literal equivalence of a word post-translation isn't going to be fruitful. In my usage of the word, your examples are still "willing", even though it is with reservation - however, it is entirely possible that either or both of the word usage ("willing") has evolved, and/or the original word has slightly different connotation. Or the "tl;dr;" version: yeah, maybe "willing" is OK as a word here.

For Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPS), the commission is disclosed as the last column of the benefits illustration. The difference in the commission structure of ULIPs and Mutual Funds is found in the structure; ULIPs usually bear high commissions in the initial years while commissions usually grows over the years (with growth in the portfolio) in mutual funds.
Investors usually part with considerable amounts of money in the name of commissions to agents on insurance products. Although the customer has the right to demand to know the agent's commission, the agent is not obliged to disclose. This is unlike mutual funds that are mandated by the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to disclose commissions paid to distributors. The commissions reflect on the common account statements sent to investors showing absolute figures in order to avoid ambiguity. Below are creative ways which you can know your insurance agent's commission.
For Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPS), the commission is disclosed as the last column of the benefits illustration. The difference in the commission structure of ULIPs and Mutual Funds is found in the structure; ULIPs usually bear high commissions in the initial years while commissions usually grows over the years (with growth in the portfolio) in mutual funds. This is occasioned this way by the mode of payment of commission by insurance companies, in that insurance companies pay commission only on new premiums, contrary to mutual funds which pay commission as the corpus accumulates, also known as the trail commission.
Term Plans and Other Insurance Plans; however do not have the commission structure readily available. Customers can however skirt this information gap. By comparing the costs between the off line version and an online version of the same product, customers can derive a fairly accurate idea on the cost that is allocated to commissions.
For products that have some monetary returns to the customer, The Regulator (Insurance Regulator and Development Authority (IRDA) of India demands that a detailed benefit illustration should be given to the customer. This however leaves out the element of commissions paid to the agent. Customers can calculate the commissions based on the minimum prescribed growth rates (prescribed at 4 percent and 8 percent) and the return they are going to get. Care should be taken at this point since the prescribed model growth rates are regulator set and not the actual market rates that will be applied.
Products that have and Element of "Guaranteed Returns" however do not necessitate scrutiny of the commissions and expenses. To check on the commissions, compare the guaranteed rate offered against the rates available in other competitive products.
For insurance products, the commission details are usually not availed in the benefits illustrations. However, you can request this information from your agent and the agent will give you. It must be noted however that the agent is not obliged by any rule to disclose commission information voluntarily and such a request is normally responded to.

Indiana is home to about 128,600 millionaire households, the 38th highest concentration nationwide, according to a recent report from Kiplinger Magazine.
If there are so many millionaires in Indiana, then, somebody is doing something really right in this state. Being intimately associated with all the big businesses of Indiana, we can confidently say that we know their secret of business growth, and today we feel like sharing it with our readers and the world.
Why only Indiana, take any big business around the world and you would see a pattern emerging. Every big business has 3 things which they have really sorted out well since their inception. These 3 things are Branding, Creative Design, and Printing. That's the secret which we are going to share with you. Through our blog post, we would be giving you a short glimpse of how a combination of branding, creative design, and printing can take your business to the next level.
Branding is important. You can't just keep on telling the same story to every person on earth. You have to find a way by which those who already know your story can share the same with others, and how exactly would that happen? This is the question that you should be asking now! Well, that's why we have branding – branding creates a strong recall value for your product or service. It is something by which other people will remember your product or service. Branding is important and actually, it is vital if you want to make it big in the world of business. Branding is something which is your identity, building a brand takes time, patience, money and lots of hard work. Branding is the face of your brand, and brand is the promise which you have made to your customers.
Creative design is what fuels your branding efforts. Branding comes from the brand and as we have already mentioned brand is nothing but the promise which you make to your customers. Now that promise has to be attached to visual and a scheme of things. As the famous saying goes a picture speaks more than a thousand words. And why did we mention it here! Because a big part of your branding efforts will be the visuals that you create for your brand and then the intensity by which you promote it. That's why you have to have the best creative designers by your side while creating your branding visuals. Dull colors, mundane designs kill the mood of the target audience. Just ask yourself whether anyone would remember you or your business or the product or service which you sell with dull things? Chances are pretty slim. Therefore, a creative design is vital for your branding efforts. A good set of creative designs along with a well laid out scheme of branding will go a long way in making your mark in the heart of your customers.
We have discussed branding, creative design and now we're stumbling upon printing. Sounds odd right? But it isn't! We will tell you why! That's because whatever the creative art designing and whatever your story or your promise might be, you have to create a concrete output for that and printing is the way out. Good quality printing enables you to put life into your branding and your story line and your creative designing efforts. It just can't be ignored. It's the backbone of all your branding efforts.
Just strike the harmony between these three elements and there is almost zero chance that your business will not grow by leaps and bounds. Trust us on this one, we have helped many convert their average business into a great one.


Monrovia – The University of Liberia Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (UL-PIRE in collaboration with the Ministry of Health with support from COUNTDOWN which is a vibrant multidisciplinary implementation research consortium engaged with national Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) programmes has ended a one-day dissemination meeting. The meeting shared findings with stakeholders on the results of the research conducted on Neglected Tropical Diseases Program Mass Drug Administration.

At the same time, Madam Zawolo said Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) are the most common disease that affect the poor, rural and often marginalized members of society.
She named Preventive Chemotherapy (PC) as one of the strategy that is being used through mass drug administration (MDA) to eliminate and control neglected tropical diseases.
Madam Zawolo noted that inter-departmental working within the Ministry of Health (MOH) for the control and elimination of NTDs is essential for the country, particularly in the sharing of technical information and program planning.
She averred that there is a need to improve the communication of policies and strategies to lower levels of the health sector to ensure appropriate monitoring, support and reporting on NTDs.
COUNTDOWN Liberia is a multi-disciplinary research consortium dedicated to investigating cost-effective, scaled-up and sustainable solutions to control and eliminate the seven most common NTDs by 2020 in the country.
The group is involved in producing evidence to contribute to reducing the morbidity, mortality and poverty associated with NTDs through knowledge base approach and increasing the reach of NTD treatment in different context.

Italian architect's 'vertical forest' to address pollution
China Daily Asia | Updated: 2017-10-10 10:49
[Photo/Stefano Boeri Architects]
Italian architect and urban planner Stefano Boeri has come to global prominence for his high-rise towers that are engulfed by plants and trees. Reminiscent of the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon, his famed project is termed the "vertical forest". The sustainability-focused concept was initiated by a big-budget experiment in 2014 in Boeri's hometown of Milan, where he built two residential towers completely covered with more than 700 trees and 20,000 plants. Boeri's second "vertical forest" was created in Lausanne, Switzerland – a 117-metre residential tower of 100 cedar trees, covering an area of more than 32,000sqft.
With an office in Shanghai, the Stefano Boeri Architetti studio has joined hands with a state-owned investment group financed by the Nanjing government for the third "vertical forest" in the world – and the first in Asia. Located in the metropolitan region of the critical Yangtze River Delta, about an hour from Shanghai, Nanjing is a historical and cultural hub that also suffers from severe air pollution.
With an announced completion date of 2018, the Nanjing project expects to see 1,100 trees (from 23 local species) as well as 2,500 cascading plants and shrubs, covering a capacious area of about 65,000sqft. That roughly translates to 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide absorption each year and 60kg of oxygen production per day.
According to Boeri, the extra trees and soil on the facades of the building only cost about 5% to 8% more than an ordinary structure, but the maintenance for the greenery is where the price really goes up. For the Milan prototype, he used "flying gardeners" as a relatively cheaper solution, rather than having them climb up the building to take care of the trees. Costly, yes – but being able to breathe is priceless.

Campath-1H: how a famous antibody found its disease
Professor Alastair Compston, Professor Emeritus of Neurology, Department of Clinical Neurosciences
Monday 22 February 2016, 18:00-19:00
Bristol-Myers-Squibb Lecture theatre, Department of Chemistry.
Abstract: The lecture will tell two stories, each with its own history, which came together in 1991 and then played out over the next 25 years. In 1975, César Milstein and Georges Köhler described a technique for making unlimited amounts of a specific antibody. Through protein engineering, these monoclonal antibodies were developed into a new class of medicines. A pioneering antibody – Campath-1H, developed between 1979 and 1988 – was soon tested in a variety of clinical settings. Although useful, it seemed that more could be achieved from such a powerful drug if the right disease could be identified and treated.
In 1823, Augustus D'Este, grandson of George III , became unwell. To the modern reader, his diary expresses the hopes and fears of the person with multiple sclerosis. By the late 1980s coherent ideas on the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis began to take shape; and Campath-1H was the perfect medicine with which to test the emerging hypothesis on the core disease mechanism. The first patient was treated in 1991. There followed a roller-coaster series of successes and disappointments that taught much about the disease and led eventually to an understanding of pivotal events involved in damage to the brain and spinal cord. With the completion of large phase 2 and 3 clinical trials confirming its high efficacy and safety profile, Campath-1H (now renamed Alemtuzumab) was then licenced and prescribed around the world for this difficult and potentially disabling disease of young adults. By 2013, after 25 years, Campath-1H had found its disease.

The requirement to have financial advisors act as fiduciaries open the doors to a retirement ripoff.
By now, you have read about the Department of Labor's regulations forcing any professional handling your retirement funds to act as a fiduciary. When a financial professional is held to a fiduciary standard, it means he must act in your best interest.
DOL found this necessary. Their data showed an excessive amount of inappropriate, overpriced and high commissioned investments and insurance products being sold to retirees. The new fiduciary rule requires your financial advisor and insurance agent to act in your best interest when handling your retirement accounts.
Since this rule is not effective until 2018, the government has opened the door for a last-ditch effort by every huckster and fraudster in town to commit retirement ripoff.
Note that 99% of retirement advisers and insurance agents are honest and well-meaning people. However, many of their employing firm's senior management are not. (For evidence, just Google the name of any securities firm or insurance company followed by the word "fines").
For the next two years, financial "advisors" and insurance agents may continue to peddle overpriced and high commission products with the government's blessing. Many of these agents and advisors don't even know that they sell crap.
I first entered the securities business in the 1980s. One of the direct participation programs offered by my employing investment firm was an investment in new homes. Investors putting money in this offering would have a partial interest in 1000 homes that would initially be rented and eventually sold.
The prospectus was 70-some pages and I am confident that few if any investors read it as did an equally small number of investment brokers. Much to your shock, investment brokers often sell investments they do not understand and are not qualified to sell.
Being a CPA (inactive now), I had the ability to decipher a prospectus and the accompanying financial statements. I calculated that these homes needed to appreciate by 7% annually just for the investors to breakeven. In other words, the commissions and fees were so high that the investment had to perform spectacularly just for the investors to get their money back.
Selling this type of poorly structured investment is totally legal today as it was 30 years ago. The government does not regulate the composition of investment or insurance products as to their viability. This results in a lot of crap investments and insurance products being sold to the public.
Even if the fiduciary rule were effective today, it only impacts retirement account such as IRAs and 401(k)s. It's still open season for ripoff artists to get it your other funds.
It appears that the DOL folks don't realize that a dollar in your IRA is actually worth less than an invested dollar outside of your IRA. The dollar in your IRA is only worth $.70 to you after tax.
So why have the folks in the government decided that protection of your retirement money has greater importance than your other money?
People in government often don't understand that their regulations may not jive with reality. Additionally, regulators are often the pawns of the industry they regulate.
For example, maybe most of your retirement money is not in a 401(k) or IRA. Possibly, you have invested in stocks, bonds mutual funds and real estate outside of any tax- sheltered plan. The DOL rule does not require investment and insurance professionals to act as fiduciaries when selling you investments or insurance for these non-retirement account funds.
Your financial professional is permitted to recommend and sell you the highest commissioned most poorly structured financial product so long as it meets the "suitability rule." The term "suitable" has no meaning until you file a complaint with FINRA.
"FINRA Rule 2111 requires that a firm or associated person have a reasonable basis to believe a recommended transaction or investment strategy involving a security or securities is suitable for the customer.
This is based on the information obtained through reasonable diligence of the firm or associated person to ascertain the customer's investment profile.
The rule states that the customer's investment profile "includes, but is not limited to, the customer's age, other investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, liquidity needs [and] risk tolerance," among other information. A broker's "recommendation," which is based on the facts and circumstances of a particular case, is the triggering event for application of the rule.
I find it comical that FINRA calls such ambiguity a "rule." This is nothing more than a guideline open to interpretation. It is my opinion that this ambiguity is intentional as it permits FINRA a much wider berth in filing actions against securities firms and registered representatives (individuals licensed to sell investments).
This latitude in bringing more sanctions allows FINRA to justify itself by handling a lot of suitability cases.
By the way, FINRA is not a government organization. The federal government (through the SEC) has delegated the securities industry to regulate itself. That regulatory organization is FINRA. Personally, I cannot think of anything more ludicrous than having an industry regulate itself. Can you say "retirement ripoff?"
Not until you file a formal complaint about some investment and the actions of your financial advisor, does anyone consider whether an investment meets the "suitability rule." Supposedly, the financial advisors employing firm should do this. However, this oversight often fails. One of the most frequent fines assessed against investment firms is for "failure to supervise" their representatives.
Once you file a formal complaint with FINRA, there is a hearing. At that hearing, the FINRA panel considers facts about you (your age, level of knowledge, acceptance of risk, income, net worth, etc.) The panel then also considers aspects of the investment (liquidity, risk, volatility, etc.) Panel members do not look at the soundness of the investment or its potentially onerous fee structure.
FINRA makes a decision about suitability by comparing your situation and the investment profile. What is determined unsuitable for you could easily be determined as suitable for another investor who matches your profile exactly except for one factor, such as level of investment knowledge.
Therefore, application of the suitability rule is a judgment which is only determined when the investor has decided he has been wronged and file a complaint.
So until 2018, much of the investment industry will continue to operate under the requirement of selling only what qualifies under the suitability rule. After 2018, the industry can continue using that same guideline for any non-retirement-plan investment.
"requires insurers to establish a supervisory system that is "reasonably designed" to achieve compliance with its requirements, including procedures for reviewing recommendations before issuing an annuity to ensure there is a "reasonable basis" to determine that a recommendation is suitable, as well as "reasonable procedures" for detecting recommendations that are not suitable."

Giovanni Battista Maini (Cassano Magnago, Lombardie,  - Rome, ) est un sculpteur italien qui est actif à la fin au  principalement à Rome.

Biographie

Giovanni Battista Maini est né en Lombardie. Après une formation à Milan il se rend à Rome (1708) où il travaille pendant plus de 20 ans dans l'atelier de Camillo Rusconi, qui est considéré alors comme le plus grand sculpteur de Rome et participe aux plus importants projets de l'époque. Parmi ses premières commandes figure l'exécution d'un bas-relief de la Gloire de saint François pour une église jésuite de Madrid. Toutefois, le bas-relief original de Rusconi n'a jamais été sculpté sur marbre. Comme Rusconi, Maini a toujours modélisé ses projets en stuc avant leur réalisation sur marbre.

Maini collabore aussi à la décoration de la coupole de l'église Santi Luca e Martina, travaille dans l'Église Sainte-Agnès en Agone, où il exécute le monument funéraire du pape Innocent X (1729), (probablement basé sur les dessins et modèles de Rusconi).

Pour la Basilique Saint-Pierre il sculpte les grandes statues en marbre de saint François de Paule (1732) (conçu par Pietro Bianchi) et saint Philippe Neri (v. 1735) qui font partie d'une série de sculptures attribuées à divers artistes dont Michel-Ange Slodtz qui réalise Saint Bruno. Il termine les statues des archanges Michel et Gabriel (v. 1737) pour la basilique de Mafra, commandée par le roi du Portugal.

Entre 1732 et 1735, Maini est commissionné par Clément XII pour sa chapelle familiale, la Chapelle Corsini à Saint Jean de Lateran. La statue de bronze la Bénédiction de Clément XII est inspirée par celle d'Urbain VIII du Bernin à Saint-Pierre et a remplacé une statue antérieure, œuvre de .

Il sculpte également pour le monument du cardinal Neri Corsini (1733-1734), un neveu du pape.

Entre 1741 - 1743, il travaille sur le portique (La Vierge de saint Luc) de Santa Maria Maggiore.

C'est de la même époque que date la sculpture Saint Jean en prière de Saint Jean de Latran.

À partir de 1734 Maini est impliqué dans le travail de conception de la Fontaine de Trevi, mais il lui est impossible d'obtenir la commande car le choix de l'architecte principal Nicola Salvi pour la sculpture finale de la statue de Neptune et du groupe Cantabrico se porte sur Pietro Bracci (1743-1759).

Il réalise également des bas-reliefs pour la Chapelle Chigi de la Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Sienne.

Innocenzo Spinazzi est un de ses élèves.

I threw together this dress for Gwyneth the other day. It was super easy to make. I'll post a tutorial tomorrow.
The tiara was just a hand sketch onto some freezer paper.
The patchwork fabric was already pieced together when I bought it – which made this even simpler. I loved the color combination and pattern, but you could easily make it yourself.
Until tomorrow. . . .
Okay…I am totally impressed by all your amazing tutorials. I just spent at least an hour on your blog. Wow! You are quite inspiring. I have a sewing machine and haven't used it in months. Perhaps I will take it out tomorrow. I have the material, the sewing machine and now…thanks to you!…the patterns.
Thanks Mellissa for the lovely comments. You made my day!

Jahi McMath: Alive Again?
GUEST ENTRY BY KZ, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.
I asked KZ to weigh in on the recent developments in the Jahi McMath case. Enjoy! Sprocket.
T&T''s Jahi McMath Case Quick Links - Case Coverage.
Well, I took one for the team, and subjected myself to watching most of the Dolan Law Firm press conference on JahiMcath last evening. It was an exercise in visual, auditory, and intellectual torture, IMO. I actually quit watching with 30 min to go, and I'm not sure if I have the fortitude to go back and finish it.
Here is a link to the video conference (skip to 13:47 to start—the first 13 min are set up and chatter by media).
Some of my observations:
Dolan had 9 months to prepare for this volley, and IMO, he was woefully unprepared, and tremendously disorganized—which is rather surprising for an attorney. He did have a few nice powerpoint picture slides—ones that any 6th grader could have put together in the 15 min before the press conference. He didn't have control of his experts by phone, and had no idea what they were going to say, and how far into the weeds they would go when allowed to talk. They rambled on and on and on, and whatever salient points they had were very difficult to ascertain. (Maybe that was the whole point—"baffle 'em with BS!")
What I did glean is that the psychologist Elena Labkovsky who did the EEG, actually does not have any experience at all with doing EEG's for establishing brain death. Her experience with EEG's is in living patient with significant mental health conditions—which is highly, highly different from traumatic brain conditions. She is not a medical doctor, she is a psychologist—not even a psychiatrist. I highly doubt that she would be qualified as an expert in court for purposes of establishing brain death. Just because she knows how to hook up the electrodes to the patient and the apparatus, does not mean she is qualified to interpret the findings in a case such as this.
For example, a technician with a high school education can be trained to hook up an EEG or EKG machine, but they are not qualified to interpret the diagnostic test. Reputable medical centers do not use psychologists to administer EEGs to establish brain death, nor do they use psychologists to interpret the findings of EEGs in cases of acute brain injury. There is a place within healthcare for psychologists to consider the results of EEGs in the care of patients with mental health conditions, but this is not such a case, IMO. And as Dr. Arthur Kaplan commented in an article, he could detect some electricial activity in a bowl of jello. (If you doubt this, remember the potato- as- a- battery experiments and lemon battery experiments from grade school?)
Dr. Machado and Phillip Defina talked at length about brain stem function versus higher cerebral activity. This is where the conversation went far into the weeds, IMO. They both seem to embrace that total brain stem death is separate from higher cerebral death. If I understood their garbled audio correctly, they want the brain stem to be considered separately from the higher cerebral portions of the brain. (Again, reference the lemon battery experiments above for my opinion on this.) This is VERY far outside of any kind of mainstream medical or scientific thinking about total brainstem functioning.
They also want to reject the "integrated functioning" explanations of brain death, such that if there is cell functioning, or cell signals anywhere in the body or remnants of brain tissue, that the person should not properly be considered dead. Again, my opinion is that cells can be sustained outside the body for a long time, kidneys and other solid organs can survive outside the body during preparation for transplant, so I'm not sure how an argument about somatic support of cells and organs equals "not brain dead".
There appears to be some discernible structure left to Jahi's brain. MRI appears to establish that. It does mean that whatever changes have occurred inside her skull have not resulted in complete liquefaction of the brain tissue. That still doesn't mean she is alive, or that her brain has any function .The remnants of structure on MRI cannot automatically be ascribed as living, functioning tissue. Plenty of people have failed, dead organs such as kidneys, that are still in situ (in the body), and even isolated from perfusion, but are basically knobs of non-functioning tissue that have calcified or congealed into a mass. We see these in the OR when they are removed. What Dolan's team does acknowledge is that Jahi has a VERY serious "brain injury." I'm sure not an expert at reading brain MRIs, and will leave further interpretation up to qualified neurologists. But the snippet I saw on their screen looked globally horrific, from my experience.
The two video snips provided by the Dolan Law Firm, IMO, are not comprehensive enough to demonstrate anything except that Jahi's body has random spasmodic movements of a hand and foot. We have no context, and nothing to compare these video snips with—for all we know, her body may make random spasmodic movements all day long, and the video with mother coaching is simply "timed" to the spasmodic movements. Nailah Winkfield herself said that hours and hours may go by with no movements, then between 1 and 3 am there is more activity. Nailah Winkfield interprets this as Jahi being "more awake"—however, the time of day could simply be a rhythmic response. We have no idea how many times Nailah Winkfield has encouraged Jahi to move, and Jahi has not responded. There simply is not enough information in those brief video snips to make any determinations beyond spasmodic movments of the extremities, which is well known in both brain damaged, spinal cord damaged, and brain dead individuals. Like the Lazarus sign (google it), it is impressive to watch in isolation, without proper context or interpretation, which, IMO, is why they used these snips. One snip is from May 20 of this year—were there no more recent video opportunities?

I also wanted to just touch base briefly on Dolan's team's comments that Jahi's hypothalamic- pituitary- ovarian axis must somehow be intact or functional, since Jahi has had menarche (started her first period.) We have to remember that Jahi was a relatively normal, but very overweight, 13 year old adolescent when the events of last December happened. She was on the verge of menarche when she became brain dead, and had obvious breast development in pictures. That means that until she was brain dead, her hypothalamic- pituitary- ovarian axis was intact and presumably functioning normally. Additionally, her excess body fat would have made her reproductive system somewhat more responsive to endogenous estrogen, which is also produced by fat tissue, as well as reproductive organs. There are studies of children who have experienced traumatic brain injury, with damage to the hypothalamus and the hypothalamic- pituitary- gonadal axis, and still experienced precocious puberty.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotha...93gonadal_axis
http://www.jpeds.com/article/S0022-3...497-3/abstract
I don't pretend to understand all of the endocrine issues at the level of a specialist physician or scientist, but I know enough to understand that reproductive systems can continue to function in catastrophically brain injured, as well as brain dead individuals, who were previously normal before the traumatic injury. We see brain dead pregnant women being maintained for varying lengths on life support measures to gestate the end of a pregnancy to viability for the fetus. We also saw Marlise Munoz in Texas, at the end of the first trimester, be maintained on life support for weeks to months, after suffering brain death. Even the young boy who was brain dead from meningitis at age 4, for 20 years, went on to develop some secondary sex characteristics, such as pubic hair,and axillary hair, although his testicles never descended. At autopsy, his brain was a calcified into a small lump at the base of the skull. That suggests that there are some corporal mechanisms in children and adolescents for some parts of reproductive maturity to occur, in the absence of hypothalamic- pituitary- gonadal axis function.
For example, it would be very interesting to know whether or not Jahi has experienced ovulation, or if she has menstruation in the absence of ovarian function. Either way, I am highly skeptical whether the presence of vaginal bleeding (which may, or may not be actual menarche) in Jahi is proof that she has some level of intact hypothalamic- pituitary- ovarian axis for stimulation of reproductive hormones.
To summarize, I'm not persuaded by what was communicated at the Dolan Law Firm press conference yesterday, demonstrates that Jahi McMath is "alive again." If the family and their attorney chooses to pursue this line of thought in the courts and official agencies (Health Department, Department of Health and Human Services, Medical Examiner—as directed by Judge Grillo), they will have to submit Jahi for extensive testing by impartial experts with appropriate background and education.

This is from the allnurses site about her MRI:
"it's markedly abnormal. There's significant loss of gray-white differentiation in the cerebral cortex; the straight sinus in the tentorium cerebellus is widely dilated, as are the lateral ventricles; the cerebellum itself appears amorphous, with no visible sulci; the sella turcica appears to be obliterated as has the pons; there's an increased amount of CSF in the fourth ventricle; there is one large and four smaller infarcted areas near the corpus callosum (actually, I don't even see a corpus callosum) and within the lateral ventricles. All the extra fluid represents areas of necrosis where tissue has been lysed and resorbed."
KZ said...
Thank you for the professional interpretation of the MRI images. The obliteration of the sella turcica means that there is no pituitary at all to speak of. So, the "intactness" of the hypothalamic- pituitary- ovarian axis is really a non-issue, right? If there is NO pituitary left, there can be no "effect" of the pituitary hormones on menarche or reproductive maturity. But maybe that's too logical?!
Golden, why are you asking questions that would require KZ to have seen the medical records to be able to answer? You also ask " How did they localize the obstruction without doing an upper airway endoscopy to inspect the airway prior to surgery?" How do you know what was done or not done? And if you know why are you asking KZ? Explain to us how your experience proves microcirculation is enough for the brain to survive.
So what's the benefit for the family? If she's "alive", will the State pay for her care for the rest of her life? she could "outlive" her sister's grandchildren.
As far as what happened last December at Children's Hospital Oakland, none of us know any more than what has been officially released-- that there was a postoperative hemorrhage and cardiac arrest event, that unfortunately lead to a diagnosis of brain death. At this point in time, we cannot second guess what went on in the preoperative evaluations weeks ahead of Jahi's surgery, nor do any of us know with certainty what exactly transpired in surgery, and in the hours after. More of that information will come out if and when the family files lawsuits. So, for now, I'm not going to address baiting questions any further about what happened last December. There may be an opportunity to discuss all that further if lawsuits, such as a wrongful death suit, is filed. And I believe there is a 2 year statute of limitations on that in CA, so we still have more than a year on that.
At this point in time, the focus of the current court challenge/ petition is on 2 things-- whether or not Alameda County Judge Evilio Grillo has jurisdiction to hear the petition brought by the family and Attorney Dolan, and act on it, and secondly, whether the evidence offered by the family is sufficient to go forward with some kind of official action to declare Jahi "alive again."
Judge Grillo himself has expressed doubt that his court is the proper place to hear the Dolan petition to declare Jahi "alive again".
Quote from one article:
http://sfbay.ca/2014/10/02/jahi-mcmaths-family-insists-shes-alive/
Grillo held an initial hearing on Tuesday on the family's request that he reverse his ruling that Jahi is brain dead, but he said in an order afterward that the general rule is that a court loses jurisdiction over a case once it enters its final judgment and he issued his final judgment in Jahi's matter on Jan. 17.
Grillo said he has:
"…no opinion on the proper procedural vehicle for petitioner (Jahi's family) to request a determination that Jahi McMath has not suffered brain death, is not deceased under the law and that her death certificate should be voided."
But Grillo said his tentative thinking is that:
"… the issue is not presented properly in this case."
Please remember T&T's commenting policy.
I hope I don't have to explain in detail how to be respectful to each other.
As far as what is the benefit for the family, Nailah Winkfield has been quoted back in the Essence Magazine interview in June, that the focus of trying to "revoke" Jahi's death certificate is to be able to qualify for both state benefits, as well as state health insurance and other financial benefits.
http://www.essence.com/2014/06/05/jahi-mcmath-nailah-winkfield
There has been much speculation and discussion about the California Prop 46 on the ballot in November, which would raise caps on maximum amounts awarded for non-economic damages in med mal cases, currently at $250K (which Uncle Omari Sealey has described publicly as "chump change").
Attorney Dolan has some involvement in the political push to eliminate these caps, and has been variously quoted as contributing $75K to the campaign. Complicating things, Sam Singer, who represented CHO back in December as a public relations person for the hospital, is also involved in this Prop 46 campaign to KEEP the caps in place. You can read more at the link below. But suffice to say, there is a lot of money involved in this case, both directly and obliquely.

In previous writing, I have discussed the work of Dr. D. Alan Shewmon, professor emeritus of Neurology at UCLA. Dr. Shewmon doesn't believe in brain death scientifically, and has been the voice of dissent during professional "think tanks" on brain death determination. Dr. Shewmon has produced some of the best and only retrospective reviews of the very few brain dead patients with prolonged somatic support, who have been studied.
Wesley J. Smith is a writer for the National Review Online. They have posted an article today that claims that Wesley J. Smith has been given a copy of a declaration filed with the Alameda County Court by Dr. Alan Shewmon. He is reportedly testifying that not only is Jahi not dead, but he believes she is "awake." This is quite an interesting read, and will certainly (if authentic) re-open national debate if this case survives and moves through the courts.

Here are some very interesting links to other articles and comments by Dr. Shewmon about brain death, for those interested.

Note: 4 of the co-authors are Philip Defina, Dr. Calixto Machado, Dr. Charles Prestigiacomo, and (former) Dr. Jonathan Fellus (who had his medical license revoked this past summer.) The first 3 are part of Dolan's team of medical experts.
http://www.neurology.org/content/82/10_Supplement/P4.285.long
KZ: what is your opinion of Dr. Shewmon making his determination without examining her or performing any of the tests according to the criteria he cites? Seems pretty sketchy to rely on those videos and personal testimonies.
Well, one observation I have is that as the week has gone on, the same "names" from a year or so ago keep popping up. Meaning, Dolan's list of experts is far more predictable than I had hoped. I had hoped to see a list of little known ICU intensivists from the St.Peter hospital in NJ, or researchers with unbiased histories, emerge. But what we see is the same people with the same ideas that they have held for many years. Confirmation bias can be a seductive mistress, IMO.
I will continue to keep a somewhat open mind, but I'd be much more persuaded if the experts had less of a history of rejecting brain death.
IMO, Dr. Shewmon is the most reputable of the team of Dolan's specialists. I'm quite interested to read what he may have submitted to the court. At this point, we only have a few sentences from the National Review article (which may or may not be accurate or even true). Who really knows what Dr. Shewmon saw, or what he reviewed, until we have a more reliable source, such as the actual document he supposedly filed with the court.
For KZ, this a link to the full submission/declaration of Dr. Shewmon.

Thank you! I'm subscribed to the Medical Futility blog, but hadn't got that far in my research today! Much appreciated!
Glad I could help, KZ. Can't wait to hear your take on it. Seems kind of strange that he's relying on second hand info and tests and willing to testify to that.
I, for one, am fascinated with this case. What appears to be such a clear cut issue is muddied by some blood sucking lawyers pushing their own agenda. Thanks KZ for helping to clarify some of the medical aspects.
KZ, this link has all of the declarations filed with the court so far: http://www.thaddeuspope.com/futilitycases.html. At the end of Dolan's declaration are the pictures of the MRI that was shown during the press conference as well as the picture of the MRA

Thank you. The Thaddeus Pope link is on T&T's Jahi McMath Quick Links Page.
I can't comment on the medical stuff, but the legal implications are fascinating.
My guess, at this point, is that the hearing on 10/9/14 is going to result in a whole lot of nothing. Judge Grillo seems to feel that not only is jurisdiction an issue, but that an entirely new action should be filed naming the correct parties.
Mr. Dolan attempted an ex parte end run around CHO and was soundly smacked down by the court. I'm sure he's an excellent personal injury lawyer, but frankly, after reading his filings on this matter, he's out of his depth.

What's remarkable to me is that Jahi spent 8 months at St. Josephs in New Jersey and 6 weeks ago was discharged to home care. The court papers indicate that the family requested medical tests and treatment that St. Josephs refused and responded with, "we don't want to get involved". Jahi was only able to get this last round of tests after she went home.
It's telling that in the 8 months at the hospital sympathetic to her religious beliefs, she was unable to garner support for her position that Jahi is alive. Surely, if she were alive, someone at the hospital would've spoken up.
Her mother is free to bring Jahi home to California and continue caring for her in a home setting - where she is currently. The judge gave custody of the body to her for this reason.
The only reason why they are doing this is for money. She wants taxpayer money to fund the medical care of a corpse.
Epic smackdown by Dr. Fisher. His letter starts on pg. 5: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nacvrwtpa5w6jqv/McMath_Linked_File.pdf?dl=0
Hot off the presses! This evening, Attorney Dolan withdrew his error coram nobis request, effectively cancelling any court action tomorrow. This, after a flurry of other motions today (aimed at getting Dr. Paul Fischer off the case as a court appointed consultant/ expert).
So for now, Jahi remains brain dead, and Dolan is going to try to organize a play date for all the experts to dialogue freely together, lol! Maybe they'll have milk and cookies, too.
Love the "I'm a lawyer, not a doctor" comment in the press release, lol!

Additional court actions:
https://publicrecords.alameda.courts.ca.gov/PRS/Case/SearchByCaseNumber
Go to "search by case number", then choose "probate" and enter case # RP13707598 for a full list of all motions in this case.
So Dolan wants them to dialogue freely over the tests that were done to come to consensus over their areas of disagreement and agree she's not brain dead.
That's just nuts. He's treating it like a symposium on brain death and not a clinical diagnosis.
There is nothing to dialogue about. Do the appropriate tests or just stfu.
Very odd that no witnesses from that hospital are coming forward to say she's alive. No doctor, nurse, nursing assistant who interacted with her during that time period can corroborate that she moves purposefully, she can move on command, she can hear. If she were alive, where are the credible witnesses?

Jonathan Levine's Long Shot is a sufficiently safety-wrapped package of vocal demands for change structured around equally predictable rom-com beats (watch the trailer). Not the worst thing in the world by any stretch of emphasis, mind you. Cutesy Hallmark signatures are traded for shared gender relationship roles, highlighting women's ongoing strife in daily global environments while romance flourishes under often redefined subgenre frameworks. Liz Hannah and Dan Sterling's screenplay says less about "Red vs Blue" headbutting and chromosome-focused stereotypes than perceived, but still provides a comedic outlet for strong performers who attract "unlikely" lovestruck charms.

Polls consistently find that most people support PR, but by definition every government with the power to change the system has benefited from the distorting effects of First Past the Post.
We're building a grassroots movement to press politicians for a fair, proportional voting system. This is made up of local groups campaigning for fair votes across the UK, demonstrations like #SaveOurDemocracy on Saturday 24th June 2017, and lobbying and letter writing campaigns.
At the same time, we're building the Make Votes Matter Alliance of pro-reform parties, organisations and individuals, at a leadership level - to work together on this single issue campaign to get rid of the outdated and unfair First Past the Post system.
