Inaugural non-denominational event seeks to give back to Buffalo community
The cheers coming from First Niagara Center Friday will be different than usual.
Those in attendance will be praising God, and not the blue and gold of the Buffalo Sabres.
The first community-wide "Good Friday Together" service will be held on the first night of Easter weekend. The free, non-denominational event begins at 7 p.m., and seeks to unite local churches and raise funds for the local community. Its format includes a time of worship, communion, a series of short speeches and reflections on Jesus' life, death and resurrection.
"Good Friday Together" has been several years in the making.
"There's four of us here in the region – Jerry Gillis at The Chapel; Roderick Hennings, who pastors Zion Dominion; Marty Macdonald, who pastors City Church in Batavia; and then me – we were all together three years ago on a trip in Israel, and we prayed together at the Western Wall," said Pastor Pat Jones of Eastern Hills Wesleyan. "(We) began to just pray how we could cooperate together in ways that would demonstrate to the community that actually the church is one church instead of a bunch of different churches; that we can work together."
Before embarking on a project to unify the Western New York church community, the pastors first found ways to unite their own congregations.
"The last couple years, we have exchanged pulpits and worship teams in each other's churches, and began cooperating together in that way," Jones said. "(We) started looking at how else can we pull the church in Western New York together. And out of times that we've had together … the concept came up, 'What if we tried to pull together with as many churches as wanted to participate within the Western New York area doing a service together?' And we targeted Good Friday because a lot of churches do Good Friday services."
This past winter, the four pastors hosted a luncheon where about 120 other pastors attended, seeking information on "Good Friday Together," and offering to pitch in.
"And that's kind of how the ball all got rolling," Jones said.
The four pastors set their sights on hosting "Good Friday Together" at First Niagara Center in downtown Buffalo.
"We targeted there just simply because of the dream of how many people we could pull together," Jones said. "The secondary point of this was not just to get a bunch of Christians together for a service but, rather, we also wanted to make a definite statement to the community about our desire to invest in the community.
"By having it at First Niagara Center, we knew it would be a place that the community of Buffalo could come to – be familiar with. But also, as a part of this night, there's going to be an offering taken. We have worked to cover all expenses upfront such that all the offering is going to be invested into the City of Buffalo through some various charities and ministries that will benefit – everything from education to health to transitional housing to mentoring and equipping kind of things for people, for jobs.
"It was meant to be held at a focal point where … we could say to the community, 'We care about our community; we're not just here within the community; we tangibly care about what's going on in our community, and want to see our community move forward in a positive way.' "
Jones said the Sabres organization provided a key assist in making "Good Friday Together" a reality.
"We are very grateful," he said. "The one thing that we are extremely grateful about is that we didn't know what impact hockey starting back after the time off (would have, or how it) would affect this. And we are extremely grateful to the Sabres organization and their support, because they told the NHL that they would not host a game that night in their facility, because they wanted to support what the churches were doing."
This type of cooperative effort, Jones said, has also been seen in the local political sphere.
"I believe that maybe some of the local politicians see that the church, and some of the fabric underneath what's going on in our community, is a faith-based-oriented thing," he said. "I think they see the value of working cooperatively as opposed to antithetical in any way."
An additional selling point of "Good Friday Together" is that the event welcomes people of all races and faiths.
"One of the things that we're working hard at is recognizing the multiple ethnicities of our area," Jones said. "We know that probably one of the biggest ethnic groups will be Hispanic. So our worship songs, as the words go up on the screen, will also be dubbed in Spanish, as well. And we're working in having translations in sections for Hispanic congregations that maybe are not English speaking, and also Chinese congregations that are not English speakers, as well. And so there's going to be some sections marked off where they can go and have people doing live translation for them."
Once the event begins, "There's going to be communion that we're going to do together; there's going to be seven different speakers that will be doing the seven last words of Christ on the cross, in small segments – like five minutes each," Jones said. There will be prayer for international pastors in the area, and "We're going to recognize all the diversity that there is within the Buffalo and Western New York area."
Jones said organizers hope to see between 8,000 and 10,000 in attendance.
"We believe that's a real possibility," he said.
The Rev. Al Warner, who heads Set Free Inc. alongside his wife, Deb, said "Good Friday Together" promises to be "history-making."
"Debbie said it shifts atmosphere," he said. "What I would say is best summed up by one of the members of the Buffalo Common Council, the chief legislative body for the city. This is what he said, he said, 'Rev., if you pull this off, when I walk in that night and I look up into an arena filled with people of faith like myself, I'll be a stronger leader for God when I get back to City Hall, because I'll know how many people there are out there that are supporting and behind me."
Al Warner said "Good Friday Together" is a chance for people to meet and form connections.
"If you go back in scripture, Elijah thought he was the only one left. And God had to remind him there were 7,000," he said. "I think, many times, what happens is those who lead and people of personal faith often feel like they're the only ones left, and that there's nobody like them around Buffalo and Western New York. And I believe this event will ignite a sense that we're connected; we're better together; and there's more of us than we've ever imagined that are following God out together on the journey."
"We're really excited," Deb Warner said, adding, "When President Clinton came in 1999, we were given tickets as intercessors to pray over the event. And so we're sitting there, and I took all kinds of pictures. And I said to Al, 'Someday, this arena is going to be filled with Christians.' And I've always believed that, and I've always hung on to that."
For the Warners, "Good Friday Together" is "a culmination of so many prayers and so many desires. … I can't wait to see the place be full," she said.
"And we do believe that the city will never be the same again," he added. "When these kind of things happen, they're like God smiling from Heaven on the unity of his church. And we're told in both the Old and New Testaments that, when the church does come together, that the city that it serves will never be the same again."

Time for another good, cheap, white wine, this one a light, acidic variety hailing from Chile.
Anyone who's shopped at Trader Joe's for more than a few years can probably remember the brouhaha when Chilean wine first appeared on the scene. It was the big cheap wine before Two-Buck Chuck came along. Quality is all over the place with Chilean wine, but this is a good one.
Sauvignon Blanc is an oft-abused grape variety. Y'see, certain winemakers, especially in California, use this grape to produce a sweet, fruity and boring wine that's better paired with smooth jazz than food. However, colder regions-like Washington, New Zealand, South Africa and Chile-produce grapes that barely achieve ripeness, which results in bright and acidic wines perfect for dining.
This Chilean Sauvignon Blanc by Santa Ema is super-pale in color, with a grassy and herbal nose. On the palate, it's thin and refreshing with a slight hint of fruit on the finish; it would be great with fried fish, Italian cold cuts, Greek dishes like gyros and spanikopita and vinaigrette-dressed salads. Santa Ema is reminiscent in many ways of a mid-range New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but at one-third the price.

Nice apartment with balcony overlooking 2 gardens in quiet traffic free street.
The bathroom has a large walk in shower as well as toilet and wash hand basin.
There is a ceiling fan in the living area and a portable fan for either the bedroom or the living room to assist in your comfort.
Large kitchen island that has dining seating for 2 people.
A very pleasant apartment that provides comfortable accommodation and a convenient base to explore places in Nice and other close by places in the French Riviera.
The lively promenade, beach, a variety of restaurants, shops, outdoor markets as well as transport links were all within walking distance etc.
The owner Gary sent us useful notes on airport transport, places to see etc. which came in handy.
We took late night walks to the promenade / beach / shops and restaurants with a child and felt no particular concerns over security in the neighborhood at the time of our visit.
All in all accommodation was comfortable and provided all we needed for our stay and would stay again when we go back to Nice.
Don't stay here in the hot summer months!
This apartment is quite spacious and well equipped at first glance. It is very near the railway station so handy for taking lthe train to visit places. However, it is at the edge of the more undesirable area around the railway station and is a good 15 minute walk from the seafront. The apartment building is very old and needs some maintenance outside. It was fairly quiet but security wasn't very good as the gates were permanently chained open, so that the security code wasn't being used. The front door was often left open by residents too. The apartment had maintenance issues too. The freezing compartment door in the fridge was broken so the compartment was all iced up, the sink plug was broken so you had to wash dishes under running water. Luckily the dishwasher worked so we used that instead. There was a nice walk in shower but it was difficult to regulate the water temperature. There was a 2 foot hole in the wall where pipes were boxed in, there was a loose floor tile in the kitchen area and the windows were hard to open. On the plus side, the bed was very comfortable and the flat was clean.
The dreadful aspect is that the temperature was 32 C in the flat the whole time. This flat is advertised as having fans and a portable air conditioning unit. This air conditioning unit leaked lots of water all the time and could damage the parquet flooring. When I asked the owner about this he said it came from the UK and had never really worked properly. He advised using it as a fan only. He said this is why he doesn't advertise that the flat has air conditioning! I will repeat that this flat is advertised as having air conditioning!. We were so hot in the apartment that it was almost unbearable. When we tried having the windows open with the shutters shut at night to cool down the flat we got bitten by mosquitos even with plug in repellents. All in all, this situation spoiled our holiday. The flat is quite cheap to rent, fairly well equipped and may be a fairly good budget option in cooler weather, but don't bother in the summer.
We had a water leek earlier in 2018. This involved scaffolding and replacing ceilings etc. All work has now been completed by the building management factors.
Close to the train station and a hop, skip and jump to the tram. Can walk pretty well everywhere. Generally a quiet safe feeling neighbourhood. Many small, unique restaurants 2 minutes away. The flat was comfortable, spacious and clean with modern conveniences. Would recommend this property. The manager was also very efficient and helpful.
Quiet but not out of the way.
Location perfect as 10 minute walk away from the busy promenade making it quiet & relaxing after a busy day. Very short walk from the train station so good for exploring the different locations. Plenty of very nice restaraunts. The apartment was perfect for our stay with the small but useful kitchen area and open lounge, bathroom had a lovely large walkin shower. Gary was very responsive to any questions I had on where to visit & directions from airport were perfect.
As advertised. Spacious, fine location. Convenient to transport,eats, etc.
Agent responded quickly and usefully to one unforeseeable circumstance.
Comfortable home base for exploring Nice and the Riviera.
The lovely second-floor apartment is a 10-minute walk from the sea and within five minutes of groceries, butcher shops, produce markets and bakeries. The neighbors are considerate and friendly. The apartment is a perfect home base for exploring Nice and the wonderful French Rivera.
The bars and restaurants are located within a 5 min walk on the traffic free Rue de France or 10 mins to the old town. Both areas have excellent bars and restaurants. Around the corner is the tree lined Boulevard Victor Hugo where the Holiday Inn & Malmison hotels are. The property is perfectly situated within a 5 minute walk to the main train station. This allows you to exploring the towns around Nice being Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, Menton, Beaulieu, Villefrance or the Friday market in Italy. The tram is a 5 mins walk away and for a 1 euro ticket this can be re-used for bus travel to Monaco, Cannes, Grasse, Vence or Eze. The promenade de anglas and beach are 15 mins walk away where you can sunbath or go swimming. There is a water park near Antibes and the port of Nice has scuba diving and sailing. You can also take a ferry to Corsica or charter a luxury yacht. If you would rather shop there is a shopping mall 5 mins away on Avenue Jean Medecin and all the designer shops you need.
Location - access to the apartment complex is on the lane to the right hand side of the building, there you will find an iron gate with a keypad please enter the code 3147E and push the gate hard as it sometimes jams in hot weather.


Finding the job was serendipitous.
I was applying for a different job (non pr related) that I saw in the classifieds.
Right before I went to bed, I turned over the paper and saw the ad for the job.
The ending date was the next day. I stayed up as late as I could to fill out the application, worked on it on my lunch break the next day, and sent it out at 5:27 p.m., three minutes before it was due.
I like to think it was something like fate that I saw it when I did.
Meant to be, and all that.
My first day was this past Monday.
but I will LOVE three day weekends.
It is a little overwhelming.
I have my very own cubicle.
I can always look out of my painted on window on my wall.
Yes, that is on my wall.
Congrats Steph! I'm sure you are going to do great, as you always do. Look at you, all grown up, any baby in the future?? :) Miss you Steph!
I am so proud of you! You have a lot of volunteers to take care of. Whew! You will be awesome!
Congrats on the new job, it sounds great! I hope it works out well.

Homophobia Leading to Mental Health and Alcohol Abuse Issues
Xavier Smerdon
Homophobia and inadequate social support are contributing to high rates of mental health problems and alcohol use among lesbian and bisexual women, a University of Melbourne study has found.
Xavier Smerdon | 7 October 2014 at 9:13 am
The ALICE project, funded by beyondblue, examined alcohol use among 520 lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) women throughout Australia and the ways in which alcohol use and mental health are interrelated. ??
Although the majority of project participants drank alcohol at safe levels, it was found 40 per cent drank at harmful levels above the National Health and Medical Research Council recommended safe limits, compared with 16 per cent of people in the general population. ??
Very few LBQ women drinking at harmful levels sought health care support for their alcohol use. In contrast, health services were used for mental health care by 39 per cent of women, and this was more likely when women had a regular GP, and were connected to the LBQ community.
??Study leader Associate Professor Ruth McNair said it is a great concern that so many LBQ women are experiencing alcohol and mental health problems.
?"Our study has identified that the stress these women experience because of their minority status strongly contributes to these problems. For example, problematic drinking and poorer mental health were associated with homophobic harassment and discrimination, hiding sexual orientation, lower levels of social support and lower levels of connection to the mainstream community," Professor McNair said.
??"More than 50 per cent of women in the study had experienced depression or suicidal thoughts and more than 40 per cent had suffered from anxiety during their lifetime.
"The study also found that 30 per cent of women had experienced discrimination in the past year, and this was more common for queer and lesbian women, than for bisexual women."
beyondblue CEO Georgie Harman said the research confirmed the devastating effect that homophobia has on mental health.
"With these stark figures, no one can debate the devastating and sometimes tragic impact of homophobia. Why should anyone be made to feel like crap just for being themselves? There is no excuse for unacceptable words, statements, actions or behaviours that demean, offend or intimidate others," Harman said.
"This latest research supports beyondblue's commitment to keep reminding Australians about the impact of discrimination on the mental health of those who may be seen as different," she said.
??"We will re-launch our successful Stop. Think. Respect 'Left Handed' campaign, which compares the ridiculousness of discriminating against someone who is left-handed with homophobia, later this year. This campaign and other initiatives such as our Rainbow Women Help-Seeking Behavior research project and Families Like Mine, continue our commitment to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, tran and intersex communities."
It has previously been assumed that dysfunctional attitudes and behaviour within the LBQ community has led to harmful drinking. However the research shows that it is negative social attitudes rather than factors within the LBQ community that has led to harmful drinking.??
"The ALICE study shows that the culture of drinking in LBQ communities was no more normalised than it is in mainstream Australian society," Professor McNair said.
?The findings from the project are being used to develop an online self-help resource available at the Turning Point Directline site aimed at reducing harmful drinking patterns among LBQ women and this resource will include optional phone counselling. An online training module on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans) alcohol and drug use for health providers is also in development in collaboration with Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria.
??The ALICE project team included researchers and clinicians from the University of Melbourne, Turning Point, Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria, Deakin University and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The COVID Covenant: Don't Go Back — Go Big and Go Now!
Walking the Talk / We know that we can buy less, use less, work from home, drive less, collaborate more; and have business, society and government move faster — because we just did all of that. How can we respond as powerfully and courageously to other super-critical threats? - 6 months ago
Are We Capable of Enacting Lasting, Positive Change After Disruption and Crisis?
Walking the Talk / The shadow of the unknown due to COVID could derail progress we've made toward a more sustainable future or it can motivate us to do better, faster. Now is the time for stakeholders throughout every organization to dig deep and figure out what they want their future to look like, and how they can make that happen. - 7 months ago
What 1,000 CEOs Really Think About Climate Change and Inequality
Leadership / To buy into a new vision of business, CEOs need to connect to it as people and write it into their own personal narrative of how their work fits into the world. They need to ask: What's my legacy? - 1 year ago
Transformational Goals in Corporate Strategy: A Review of the ESG Goals of 50 Global Companies
New Metrics / Transformational ESG goals seek to make changes across companies' entire value chain and even society. But in a recent review of 50 of the Fortune 250 companies, incremental ESG goals are still the norm. - 1 year ago

#NewMetrics18: The ROI of Sustainability Strategy — and 6 Ways to Get There
New Metrics / Last week at Sustainable Brands' New Metrics '18 conference in Philadelphia, PA, over 300 delegates from brands, NGOs, strategists and practitioners across sectors gathered to share their latest tools and findings regarding measuring the risks and impacts of previously unmeasured forms of value, the newest credible tools and solutions for assessing the ROI of Sustainable Business. - 2 years ago
`Materiality Is Broken. But It Doesn't Have to Be.
New Metrics / In formulating strategy, shaping communications and improving their impact in the world, companies, and their sustainability teams, must answer two big questions: "What is important to our business?" and "What is important to our stakeholders?" (Sometimes as a proxy for the larger question: "What is important to the world?") - 2 years ago
The Rise of Corporate Sustainability Goals: Some Hard Data
Marketing and Comms / For the last 5 years, my firm has tracked the sustainability goals of the world's largest companies. These thousands of targets commit multinationals to do many important things, such as slashing carbon emissions in half (or to zero) or bringing the percentage of women in management up dramatically. The project, managed in part by my colleague Jeff Gowdy, keeps the public and free website www.pivotgoals.com humming. - 3 years ago
Focusing on What 90% of Businesses Do Now Is a Big Mistake
Cleantech / I was driving through rural Pennsylvania recently and saw a fascinating billboard. Sponsored by an organization that promotes coal and natural gas, the sign declared, "The truth is that 90 percent of our energy comes from fossil fuels." Technically, that's true (ish), but it's also meaningless. - 3 years ago
The Same, But Different: Some Thoughts on Japanese Business
Leadership / I recently visited Tokyo on a business trip and had the chance to meet with a number of Japanese companies. At the end of a three-hour meeting with sustainability professionals from a dozen or so multinationals, the host asked me for my impressions of Japanese organizations and their sustainability efforts. My honest answer: "I'm confused." - 3 years ago

Rolling Back Fuel Efficiency Standards Is Bad for Everyone — Including Automakers
The Next Economy / The CEO of a large industrial company recently described the Trump administration as "the most pro-business since the Founding Fathers." It's a popular perception in the business community, with or without the hyperbole, and the stock market is reacting accordingly. - 3 years ago
Is it Time to Add Morality to the Business Case for Sustainability?
New Metrics / Every manager (or consultant) who has pitched an initiative under the banner of "sustainability" has faced the same question nearly every time: What's the business case? On the surface, there's nothing wrong with the question. Business is all about allocating some form of capital, be it financial, human or organizational. So it's not unfair to wonder what the return on the investment might be. But usually, when executives pose the question about sustainability initiatives, they're asking about the business case in the narrowest sense: Does this thing pay back, in cash, within some short payback period (1 or 2 years)? - 3 years ago
Trump Can't Stop the Clean Economy
Cleantech / If there's any force greater than whatever propelled Donald Trump into the Presidency, it's economics. Nobody, not even a President Trump, can stop all movement toward the clean economy. The reason is simple: It's now cheaper to cut carbon and use renewable energy than to keep the status quo. Don't get me wrong. Today is a very hard day for many Americans. I know I am fearful about our democracy and threats to human rights of all kinds. I also believe some critical structural problems in our system badly need to change (like the electoral college, profit- and clicks-driven news media, and money in politics). - 4 years ago
What Did the "Three Amigos" Just Commit To? (Hint: Lots of Renewables)
Cleantech / In the spirit of "showing your work" in progress, I'm posting some info on the big new clean economy agreement announced by the so-called "three amigos" -- i.e., the leaders of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. - 4 years ago
What Difference Does One Make?
Behavior Change / My family eats a mostly vegetarian diet. Some kids at school were making fun of my 9-year-old son, telling him how great meat tastes. Before diving into the challenge of dealing with childhood peers, I asked him if he knew why we're vegetarian. When it was clear he didn't (that's on me), I started to tell him about the environmental impacts of meat as it's currently produced, health benefits, and animal welfare. - 4 years ago
10 Sustainable Business Stories That Shaped 2015 ... and Some Questions for 2016
The Next Economy / 2015 was a pivotal time when humanity turned more decisively toward building a thriving and sustainable world. On our largest shared challenge, climate change, most of the major hurdles to action — both imagined and real — started to crumble. And an unlikely group of new voices joined the fight. From the Pope to global CEOs to almost all the world's political leaders, the most powerful people got on board. - 5 years ago
COP21: A View from Paris
Organizational Change / The Conference of the Parties … COP21 … the climate conference … or just "Paris," as in "What's going to happen in Paris?" - 5 years ago
How Target Is Taking Sustainable Products Mainstream (and Working with Walmart)
Collaboration / For years, the answer to the question "Do people really want to buy more sustainable products?" was a profound "sort of." Surveys consistently show that we aspire to buy responsibly, and we even say we'll pay more for environmental or socially preferable products. But purchase intent does not always translate to real sales, and companies have often struggled to make sustainable products more mainstream. - 5 years ago
Making a 'Big Pivot' to Sustainability Will Require a Cultural Evolution

Red Hat Reaffirms Commitment to Open Source Ecosystem in Korea
Focuses on knowledge sharing and industry training programmes for local academia, to nurture future open source professionals and grow local open source ecosystem
- 8 juillet 2013 —
SEOUL – July 8, 2013 – Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced its open source vision, its business strategies and its plan to foster the open source ecosystem in Korea under the leadership of newly appointed general manager, Jay Hahm.
Red Hat, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, reported 45 consecutive quarters of revenue growth, according to recent Q1FY14 earning results. In 2012, Red Hat became the first open source company to achieve the billion dollar revenue milestone, demonstrating the value and vision of open source. The company has expanded its portfolio of open source products and services to include virtualization, cloud computing, Linux, middleware, and storage, serving as a strategic IT partner for enterprise customers.
"Red Hat is a leading connective hub in the global network of customers, partners, research and academic organizations, and open source communities. Bringing these innovative groups together fosters collaboration, and the result is technology that meets the needs of today's computing environment more effectively than any one group could have created alone," said Jay Hahm, general manager,Red Hat Korea. In addition, from the financial sector to government, telecommunications to media, logistics to retail, open source solutions are relied upon to power many of the IT workloads in business securely and reliably. Amid ever-changing IT environments, Red Hat is leveraging its open innovation development model and subscription business model to help define the next generation of the data center.
For the past 20 years, the Red Hat open source development model has produced high-performance, cost-effective solutions. Under the leadership of Hahm, Red Hat Korea plans to mirror the model for the local market, and to focus on creating a platform that will enable knowledge-sharing within the open source industry, expanding the open source base through academic collaborations, and cooperating with related organizations.
Secondly, with its extensive curriculum of over 30 training courses on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat JBoss Middleware, Red Hat Korea will explore opportunities to collaborate with local universities and institutes of higher learning to support training in open source technology.
Finally, Red Hat Korea aims to strengthen collaboration with open source-related organizations and associations to energize local open source communities.
"Our focus is on innovation and end-user value through open source software, which delivers interoperability and flexibility. Based on our open source technologies and solutions, we will work harder to expand the Korean open source ecosystem," continued Jay Hahm. "I hope that creating a communication channel for opinion leaders and educational programs for college students will help bolster the local open source market."
Founded in 2002, Red Hat Korea serves a broad range of customers, including organizations in the financial, telecommunications, and public sectors. Its key customers include POSCO ICT, SK Telecom,and Korea Federation of Banks. Red Hat Korea launched the Red Hat Certification Program in January 2007, including Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA), the most senior system administration credential, Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT), and Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).

One of the key changes in the amendments to the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act involves shifting responsibilities from the pharmacy manager to the direct owner for renewing a pharmacy licence.
Each pharmacy will need to determine an authorized representative for the direct owner to lead the completion of pharmacy licence renewals.
Here's how to get started with selecting an authorized representative and preparing for a pharmacy licence renewal under the new pharmacy ownership requirements.
Inform them that they will be required to complete an attestation annually, and a criminal record history once every 5 years as part of the pharmacy licence renewal.
Following up with any missing requirements or with individuals who have not submitted their Proof of Eligibility.
Authorized representatives will have access through an eServices account and will be able to monitor both when requirements have been submitted and whether each applicable individual has submitted their proof of eligibility requirements.
It is recommended that owners identify discrepancies between their BC Company Summary and the College's records regarding the name and number of Directors associated with your pharmacy. If a discrepancy is found, a Change of Director application should be submitted on or before March 31, 2018. Applications submitted after this date will require the new indirect owner to submit their Proof of Eligibility before the change application will be approved and complete.
Inform them about the new ownership requirements coming into effect soon.
Inform them that they will be required to complete an attestation annually, and a criminal record history once every 5 years in order to complete their pharmacy licence renewal.
Confirm that the name they have listed in the BC Company Summary or Central Securities Register is their legal name. If not, make amendments as soon as possible.
Collect their email addresses, and inform them that they should expect to receive an email from the College regarding the completion of their Proof of Eligibility.
If your pharmacy has indirect owners that are publicly traded corporations, these corporations are not required to provide any corporate information or email contacts.
Decide who will be responsible for obtaining and uploading the business licence on eServices (if not the pharmacy manager or authorized representative).
You must ensure that the copy of the business licence you obtain is still valid for pharmacy licence renewal.
Confirm that the name they have listed in the BC Company Summary is their legal name. If not, make amendments as soon as possible.
*Shareholders information is not required.
Watch for additional New Pharmacy Ownership Requirements articles in the months ahead on ReadLinks. These articles feature important new requirements for pharmacy licensure and renewals to help pharmacies prepare to meet the new requirements.

Should this be the case, it would take Bitcoin a longer time to manage its typical post-Halving growth (after all, it took Bitcoin over 500 days post-Halving #2 to manage an over 12,000% rally to new ATHs). On the other hand however, if Bitcoin were to rally similarly to its 663% uptrend prior to Halving #1, that would mean that Bitcoin would reach a price point of almost $24,000 prior to Halving #3. A 12,160% rally from Bitcoin's mid-December 2018 bear market bottom of $3,150 would result in a ~$385,000 Bitcoin. The first Bitcoin Halving spurred 13,378% growth in Bitcoin's price whereas the second Bitcoin Halving spurred a 12,160% rally. Based on Bitcoin's historical tendencies prior to and after its Halvings, one can only speculate on how Bitcoin's price could potentially behave as a result of its upcoming third Halving. At this stage, the question is whether we can use this information to deduce the effect that the upcoming third Bitcoin Halving could potentially have on Bitcoin's price. By now, we have spotted many different compelling tendencies in Bitcoin's price action as a result of Bitcoin's Halving. The pre-Halving top prior to the "shake-out" retrace has historically been Bitcoin's highest pre-Halving price point, but wasn't high enough to set a new All-Time High. Bitcoin's price has set a new All-Time High after every Halving. A new All-Time High in Bitcoin's price has always occurred many months after the Halving.

When a bitcoin holder is mocked for not being rich yet, they're being bitshamed. The case of bitcoin advocate Andreas Antonopoulos is a great example of this. An avid bitcoin lecturer for years, he revealed in December that he's actually not a bitcoin millionaire, and sold his coins early to cover rent and bills. He was bitshamed by Roger Ver, known in the bitcoin community as "Bitcoin Jesus," for his failure to hodl. HODL, sometimes spelled out hodl or Hodl, started as a joke at a bitcoin fan's expense. Still, even for seasoned investors, there's a lot of slang you have to know if you want to sound like an expert.

However, this price point doesn't eclipse the previous All-Time High. Leading into the Halving, there tends to be an acceleratory run-up in Bitcoin's price before the "shake-out" retrace occurs. So Bitcoin's price leading into the first Halving was uptrending, whereas Bitcoin's price leading into the second Halving was downtrending. In fact, it took Bitcoin almost half the time to do so. Prior to the first Halving, Bitcoin rallied almost twice as much (663%) to reach the pre-Halving top compared to Bitcoin's 383% price rally to reach the pre-Halving top prior to the second Halving. After reaching a new All-Time High, Bitcoin would top out to end the bull market and subsequently enter a bear market period that would see Bitcoin retrace at least -80%. In fact, Bitcoin has managed to set a new All-Time High in price after each of the previous Halvings. Clearly, most of the exponential growth in Bitcoin's price as a result of the Halving has occurred after the Halving. In Halving #2, the post-Halving growth was over 10.5 times larger than the pre-Halving growth.

Let's divide Bitcoin's price into "Pre-Halving" and "Post-Halving" xrp calculator periods in an effort to spot any further recurring tendencies or themes that could inform our understanding about the upcoming third Bitcoin Halving.

← The World's Worst Advice On https://gyazo.com/ → Бускетс: Все сделали из Италии фаворита, но мы продемонстрировали, что превосходим ее


As I was mentioning on my other page 'Stress and Health', it is known that around 40 percent of people in the US and in the UK feel very or extremely stressed because of their job.
It is also thought that around 75 % of illnesses might be related in some way to stress.
These figures show that these days most people are simply stressed!
So what stress does to our bodies? How harmful it is?
Well, first of all, the effects of stress will be different from individual to individual.
What is stressful for you, might be simply 'challenging' for someone else. If your neighbour drives you to the wall so to speak, someone else might just laugh at it and not take it seriously.
Well, we are all – individuals, with our own personalities and abilities to cope with challenges of life.
When we feel we cannot cope with a situation, usually we feel stressed, and our stress hormones (adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol) become very active. These hormones activate our sympathetic nervous system, and this is why our heart beats faster, we perspire, and our blood pressure and even our breath increase.
At the same time, our blood vessels and muscles constrict, making us feel tense. Also, our pupils dilate and our hearing becomes more acute.
The release of stress hormones affect our enteric nervous system, which is located in our stomach. This is why we can feel 'butterflies in the stomach' in any situation that makes us nervous or stressed.
But, unfortunately, this also explains why people experiencing chronic stress often have irritable bowel syndrome or colitis.
When we are stressed, our bodies spend a lot of energy producing stress hormones. The more energy spent, the less of it left to fight viruses and bacteria which is all around us at all times!
So the more stressful situation we experience, the less defence our immune system has.
When this happens, we catch colds and other viral infections much easier. Also, non-viral diseases, such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease are also lined to stress.
Physical or psychological stressors can affect insulin needs, leading to increased risk of diabetes.
Gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcers and ulcerative colitis, are known to be greatly influenced by stress.
Peptic ulcers occur twice as often in air traffic controllers as in civilian co-pilots, and occurred more frequently in the USA among air traffic controllers at high-stress control centres (Chicago O'Hare, La Guardia, JFK and Los Angeles International Airport) than at low-stress control centres (airports in less-populated cities in Virginia, Ohio, Texas and Michigan).
Ulcers are caused by excessive stomach acid, and anger and hostility increase stomach acidity, whilst depression and withdrawal decrease it.
Stress ulcers occur often in people who experienced trauma, surgery, or other catastrophic events.
Stress ulcers are quite different from peptic ulcers; they are acute, haemorrhagic (bleeding), and are usually preceded by shock.
Both tension headaches and migraines can be caused by worry, frustration and general lifestyle.
When there is no sufficient oxygen goes into our head and neck, particularly when the muscles are tensed (as you might feel, for example, after driving unfamiliar route, or writing an important letter to an official body), we experience aches.
When we take painkillers to stop the headache, we are not learning to prevent the problem.
We are simply masking the symptoms. What would be beneficial in this situation, is to learn relaxation techniques, take 5 min to stand up and stretch our bodies, learn short meditation and breathing techniques.
Typically, the heart beats 72 times a minute. When we stressed, the heart beats much faster, and our heart pressure also increases.
Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the US and UK. It is often thought that high cholesterol in the blood, smoking, obesity and high blood pressure cause heart disease.
But only around 50 % of cases can be explained by those factors. The remaining 50 % are thought to be linked to stress, particularly occupational stress (stress at work).
Depression affects most people. A depressed individual feel helpless and hopeless, and often shows the signs and symptoms of Stage 3 stress.
You might be surprised to find out that depression too, increases the production of stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) in the body. And these hormones, in turn, suppress the immune system.
This is why people who are depressed can experience headaches, asthma, ulcers, and coronary heart disease too.
As you can see, to become ill is easy, especially if you often find yourself in stressful situations.
You personality type (type A or type B) can make you suffer more or less from the effects of stress. Read here what to do when you are stressed and my other articles to learn how to manage and prevent stress in your daily life.

Q: Complex analytic functions $f \colon \mathbb C \to \mathbb C$ such that $|f|>1$ are constant I have been struggling with this problem:
Suppose $f \colon \mathbb C \rightarrow \mathbb C$ is analytic on $ \mathbb C$ and that $|f(z)| > 1$ for all $z \in \mathbb C$. Show that $f$ must be constant on $ \mathbb C$.
The suggestion given is "What can you say about $1/f$?"
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

A: Note that $1/f$ is entire (since $f$ is never $0$) and bounded.  By Liouville's Theorem, it is constant.

A: Since $\left|f(z)\right|>1, \, f(z)\neq 0$ for all $z\in\mathbb{C}$. Thus you can define the function $g(z)=1/f(z)$. Consequently $g(z)$ is an entire function-$f(z)$ is entire-and is bounded because $\frac{1}{\left|f(z)\right|}<1$. Hence by Liouville's theorem $g$ must be constant, which yields that $f$ is constant.

It was the week for some awesome summer house tours. I didn't do one this year, but here's a peek at last year's summery pics. I can't do a new summer tour until the hydrangeas are in full bloom.

Lastly, lifestyle bloggers like myself occasionally take some heat about the one-sided portrait we can sometimes paint of beautiful food, beautiful spaces, and seemingly perfect lives. I need beauty in my life, not because I'm perfect, but because I'm so desperately broken. Beauty is our teacher. Beauty woos us, draws us to the Maker of all that is good and true. We were created for beauty. It's the air we breathe. I'm so thankful for the artists and creators who, in the image of their creator, share the work of their hands with the world, reminding us that the beauty is in the giving, always. I talk about why it's so important here.

Robin and Vera were out at work in the daytime (Vera was doing her occasional stint at a charity shop). I took the opportunity to get some good solid preparation done for my viva. It was actually very pleasant working at Vera and Robin's place - I had the balcony doors open, was playing jazz, and looking out onto some lovely views of the Sugar Loaf (for those who don't know, it's a mountain, or at least a mountain by British standards). I wandered into Abergavenny around 4ish, as I wanted to buy a modem cable, and also met Vera off the bus. The modem cable was surprisingly successful - it seems much easier these days to set up a dial-up account. Obviously the speed was cringeworthy, having got used to some pretty "fat pipes" over the past few months, but it worked at least. I realise how dependent I've become on the internet recently - I start to panic if I spend more than a couple of days disconnected. Terrible!
Had dinner with Vera - a sort of spinach and potato cheese bake thing which was great. It was lovely weather so we were also able to enjoy a couple of drinks out on the patio, again, with the Sugar Loaf in the distance. Lovely.
Ciao John, reading the accounts of your flight back made me think a lot about all the "flights back" that I have had. I am in Narita waiting to board the plane, will write something for sure to add on my page!! Glad to see that you are A-ok!!
