By William Faloon
Today's population lives on a railroad track. Everything may be fine for the moment until a freight train comes along and wipes us out.
We at Life Extension have pled for 29 years to get off the track before the train comes.
A startling number of reports reveal the FDA is in far worse shape than originally thought. Few people comprehend that they are likely to suffer and die prematurely as a result of FDA's failures.
The media does a decent job reporting on FDA disasters. The apathetic public, however, often forgets what they read the next day. That is, until they are diagnosed with a serious illness. Then they go into a panic mode to find an effective treatment. All too often, however, the cure does not exist because of FDA bureaucratic roadblocks. In other cases, the FDA-approved drugs available induce horrific side effects.
It is our mission to memorialize these tragedies to demonstrate the urgent need to radically reform the FDA. This "state-sponsored"� carnage of the American citizenry must be stopped!
FDA Disseminates Fraudulent Safety Data
Ketek® (telithromycin) is a drug the FDA approved to treat mild-to-moderate pneumonia. Ketek® can also cause sudden and serious liver damage. In some cases, complete liver failure develops necessitating the need for a liver transplant. Some patients die before a liver transplant can be performed.1-5
The risks of liver failure (and other toxic side effects) were known before the FDA approved Ketek®. In order to convince an outside scientific advisory committee to recommend that Ketek® be approved, the FDA knowingly allowed a fraudulent safety study to be presented. Here is what the Senate Investigative Committee uncovered:6
FDA accepted the resubmission of a new drug application, which included safety data that were fraudulent, in whole or in part.
FDA employees presented the fraudulent study data to the advisory committee that was tasked with recommending Ketek®'s approval or disapproval.
FDA instructed its employees preparing to appear before the advisory committee that they should present these fraudulent safety data.
FDA approved a pediatric clinical trial of Ketek®, involving infants as young as six months old, despite concerns related to known toxicities affecting the heart, eyes, liver, and vascular system.
FDA continued to knowingly cite the fraudulent study data in publically released safety information on Ketek®.
How fraudulent were these data? While the FDA was presenting these fake data, a criminal investigation was simultaneously being conducted that found the clinic where the "safety"� study allegedly occurred was closed during the time the study was supposed to have taken place. It was also determined that documents relating to the safety study had date modifications and signature inconsistencies.
Shortly after the advisory committee meeting where the fake safety data were presented by FDA employees, the person who conducted the study was criminally indicted, pled guilty, and was sentenced to almost five years in jail.
It is even more shocking that the FDA continued to cite this safety study long after the principal investigator admitted it was fraudulent. While the perpetrator of this "safety"� study was in prison for falsifying the data, the FDA used the very same study to issue a Public Health Announcement stating:
"Based on the pre-marketing clinical data it appeared that the risk of liver injury with telithromycin [Ketek®] was similar to that of other marketed antibiotics."�7
The "pre-marketing clinical data"� FDA cited to mislead the public about Ketek® was the fraudulent study, a study that may never have actually occurred. According to the Senate Investigative Committee report, "it defies explanation why the FDA would continue to cite"� this fraudulent study to the American public to imply that Ketek® is safe.8
The Senate Committee report concluded by stating that, "Retaliation against these individuals, or any other FDA employees who communicate with the committee with reference to Ketek® will not be tolerated."�8
Based on the tone of the Senate investigative report, it would appear that the FDA functioned as a continuous criminal enterprise in this instance.8,9
The Revolving Door
You may wonder why certain officials in the FDA would go to such extreme lengths to get a lethal drug like Ketek® approved.
Look no further than the gargantuan economic benefits drug companies reap when a patented compound like Ketek® receives the FDA seal of approval.
When we first exposed the revolving door of FDA employees going to work for companies they regulate, virtually no one believed us. Back in the 1980s, most Americans were deceived by FDA propaganda stating that the agency "is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety of human drugs."�12
The harsh reality is that the FDA functions primarily to protect the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry, not the public's health. If anyone ever questioned this, look no further than the FDA's attempts last year to ban the safest form of estrogen (estriol). The FDA has no qualms about publically stating that its ban on estriol was based on a petition filed by Wyeth, the maker of dangerous estrogen drugs like Premarin® and Prempro®.
There are a number of estrogen drugs that have not been shown to increase stroke or breast cancer risk.13 The FDA, however, has done nothing to remove Premarin® or Prempro®. Instead, the FDA openly seeks to protect Wyeth's market share by denying American women access to natural estriol.
According to the FDA, "bioidentical hormone products are unsupported by medical evidence and are considered false and misleading by the agency."�14 The truth is that bioidentical hormones are far less expensive and pose a major competitive threat to Wyeth, ergo the FDA's aggressive attempts to disallow them.
In a report issued by the Associated Press just last year, it was revealed that a record number of FDA employees are leaving the agency to go to work for pharmaceutical companies. According to the Associated Press, these FDA staffers are resigning in order to go into "the more lucrative side of the business "�15
The FDA's Brain Drain
As experienced FDA scientists leave the agency to work for Big Pharma, the remaining staff is leaner and less competent to approve new life-saving medications. As reported by the Associated Press, a consequence of FDA employees going to work for pharmaceutical companies is a clogging of the drug approval pipeline.
As long time Life Extension members know, the FDA drug approval process has always been a bureaucratic quagmire, where life-saving medications languish for years, decades, and sometimes forever. The drug pipeline has been "clogged"� for almost 50 years. We are deeply disturbed that it is now taking even longer for life-saving medications to become available to those in need.
The Wall Street Journal continues to support our position with blistering exposés describing human beings who suffer horrendously and die while potential life-saving therapies languish at the FDA. An article published last year titled "Sick Patients Need Cutting-Edge Drugs"� disclosed heart-wrenching reports of young cancer patients who were denied compassionate-use access to experimental drugs. The Wall Street Journal article raised the logical questions:
"Why do terminally ill patients have to wait so long to get access to the only treatments that hold any promise of saving their lives? And why is it not their right to decide?"�16
These very issues have been discussed in Life Extension's publications for nearly 30 years. We have analogized in previous articles how it is perfectly legal to engage in all kinds of risky activities, such as parachuting from high bridges, but it is illegal to make experimental medications available to terminally ill people without the FDA's permission.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the drug delay problem is getting much worse. The problem has been magnified in recent years as the number of new drug approvals has fallen dramatically. The FDA approved just 16 new drugs in 2007 and 24 in 2008.17,18 That's down from 139 in 1996.
With the approval of life-saving drugs grinding to a snail's pace, the moronic cruelty of denying experimental drugs to terminal patients must stop. Each day a life-saving drug is delayed, human beings perish. The case for radical reform of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the FDA itself has never been stronger.
How Many Drug-Induced Suicides?
The same Senate committee investigating the Ketek® scandal uncovered another study with falsified data. These fake data were used to support the approval of a popular antidepressant drug used by millions of human beings.
According to a report authored by a Harvard medical doctor, when the Paxil® application was submitted to an FDA advisory committee in 1991, the drug company improperly put people who had previously attempted suicide into the placebo group, so that it would appear that the Paxil® group would have the same rate or an even lower rate of suicide than the placebo recipients. This was done to make it appear that there was no increased risk of suicidal behavior in those taking Paxil® compared with placebo.
It took until 2006 for the manufacturer to send a letter to doctors admitting that the risk of suicidal behavior was 6.7 times higher in study subjects taking Paxil® compared with placebo.10
Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States.11 It killed over 32,000 people in the United States in 2004. The number of suicides attributed to drugs like Paxil® (selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors) could be in the hundreds of thousands during the 13 years it was fraudulently marketed.8,9
FDA Bungles New System to Track Side Effects
Even when data used to approve a new drug are not fraudulent, there are inherent limitations in assessing toxic side effects in the clinical study setting. Reasons for this include the relatively short time period the drugs are evaluated in a clinical study compared with how long patients use them in the real world. Another problem is that clinical studies are often tightly controlled by doctors with specialized expertise in the particular drug they are evaluating. Practicing physicians, on the other hand, see dozens of patients a day and may not be familiar with the proper way to prescribe drugs that have a narrow safety window. Still another issue is the relatively small number of patients taking the drugs in a clinical study compared with the millions who may eventually be prescribed them.
Due to these serious limitations, post-approval surveillance is critical to identifying lethal side effects of prescription drugs that were not detected in the clinical trials.
According to a report by an independent auditing institute, the FDA squandered $25 million on a bungled computer system to track side effects of approved drugs.19,20 As a result, the FDA will have to rely on a dysfunctional system to track what are record-breaking numbers of adverse reports being made about drugs the agency previously approved as safe.
After this report showing that FDA errors and mismanagement caused this computer system to not be available, the FDA asked that most of the findings of the report be deleted. The independent institute who put the report together refused to capitulate to the FDA's attempts to obstruct the report's findings.20,21
Drug Prices Surge
In today's upside-down regulatory system, Americans are prescribed drugs whose approval may be based on fraudulent or insufficient research data. Experimental therapies that could save their lives are routinely denied. The cost of existing medications meanwhile is skyrocketing.
Drug price increases often exceed the inflation rate. The average cost increase for the top 50 best-selling drugs was 7.82% in 2007, 6.73% in 2006, and 6.22% in 2005.22
Some very popular drugs are increasing at astronomical rates. The cost of the antidepressant Wellbutrin XL® went up by 44.5% from 2005 to 2007. The cost of the attention-deficit drug Adderall XR® went up by 33.5%. The price of the sleep aid drug Ambien® shot up 70.1% during this period.22
On less popular drugs, the price surges are worse than obscene. A drug used to treat heart problems in premature babies went from $136.10 to $1,875 in one year. A drug used to treat a certain cancer (Cosmegen®) increased from $16.79 to $593.75 in one year. A drug used to treat spasms in babies (Acthar®) was increased from about $1,650 to more than $23,000 in one year. Just imagine your baby suffering spasms and being asked to fork over $23,000 for one drug!23
Whether you use these drugs or not, you still suffer. The thoroughly corrupt Medicare Prescription Drug Act passed at the behest of pharmaceutical lobbyists mandates that taxpayers pay full retail prices for these drugs.24 Taxpayers will fork over $600 billion for these egregiously overpriced drugs in the first 10 years.25
Where consumers are really hurting is in their ever-increasing health insurance premiums. If you are fortunate enough to have someone else paying your premiums, you cannot help but note the higher deductibles and greater exclusions.
The FDA enables drug companies to financially rape the American consumer by stifling competition. There are so many regulatory hurdles to getting FDA approval for even a competitive generic drug that consumers often pay eight times more than they need to.
Under the guise of "consumer protection,"� the FDA has been manipulated by pharmaceutical interests to restrict free market forces that would drive down drug costs.
FDA Botches Public Relations Campaign
The FDA has been pummeled by Congress and the media about its many scandals, including poor inspections of tainted foods, drugs, and other products it regulates.
Needless to say, this has created a severe image problem. So FDA officials decided to hire a public relations agency that would "create and foster a lasting positive public image of the agency for the American public,"� according to agency documents.26
When taxpayer dollars are involved, the law mandates that a bidding process is used to ensure that the contract goes to the lowest cost contractor. According to an exposé published by the Washington Post, the propaganda contract went instead to a public relations firm with ties to the FDA official who arranged the deal. A loophole was used to avoid putting the contract up for bid.27
After being made aware of this apparent corrupt act, an FDA deputy commissioner suspended the public relations contract and ordered an independent investigation.
Congress responded by launching still another investigation into the FDA. According to the chairman of the House committee that oversees the FDA, "The agency chose to use its limited resources to save face instead of saving the public health."�27
The FDA retains the power to make life and death decisions that affect all of us. When it comes to analyzing new therapies to extend human longevity, this involves the scientific and common sense ability to understand complex biochemical interactions that occur within living organisms. The FDA's botched attempt to launch a misinformation campaign to cover up its inadequacies further calls into question its competency and moral legitimacy.
Do Drug Companies Have Any Decency?
It is beyond my comprehension to understand how pharmaceutical companies can look themselves in the mirror when they know they are selling drugs proven to kill.
Back in 1994, our best-selling product was shark cartilage. The problem we uncovered was that it was not curing cancer patients. We immediately notified our customers that a survey we conducted of those who bought shark cartilage showed it to be ineffective. We urged these people to seek other therapies.
The supplement industry was shocked at our findings, but most stopped promoting shark cartilage as an anticancer therapy. Our findings about shark cartilage's lack of efficacy were confirmed several years later in a controlled study.
We were a relatively small organization in 1994 and losing our best-selling product was financially challenging. In no way, however, could we continue telling cancer patients that shark cartilage might help them when our own findings showed it did not work.
The fact the multibillion dollar pharmaceutical companies have no qualms about using fraudulent data to support the approval and continued sale of lethal drugs is an atrocity. That certain people within the FDA collude with pharmaceutical companies to allow dangerous and ineffective drugs on the market is an act so heinous that words do not exist to describe it.
In 1994, we established the FDA Museum to document how the FDA's failings were responsible for the needless deaths of millions of Americans.
Sadly, every assertion we made about the FDA back then has been validated by third parties and the FDA itself. I lament that we were proven correct, because this means that millions more Americans perished unnecessarily over the past 15 years and the cost of today's corrupt health care system threatens to financially decimate our country.
The FDA's credibility is at an all-time low. There has never been a better time to enact legislation to reform the way health care is regulated in this country. With a new Congress in session, health freedom activists are aggressively seeking to have the law changed to allow free market forces to tear down the corrupt wall of bureaucracy that causes the needless deaths of thousands of Americans each day.
We at Life Extension are working with the American Association for Health Freedom (AAHF) to make our voices heard in Congress. AAHF is a coalition of integrative physicians, health care consumers, and health freedom activists committed to a complete reform of the FDA. Its Reform FDA Petition is available for signing at www.reformfda.org. AAHF and its coalition allies will hand deliver the petition to Congress and urge immediate and comprehensive FDA reform. For this to be successful, we need your help and signature now. Please log on to www.reformfda.org and join this petition campaign.
Why Your LEF Membership is so Important
More scientific innovation is occurring in the medical field than at any time in human history. This progress is irrelevant, however, if a regulatory barrier denies the fruits of this research to people in need, or allows drugs to be sold with lethal side effects, or renders the cost of medications unaffordable.
The Life Extension Foundation has been battling FDA ineptitude for three decades. Your support through membership dues and product purchases enables us to continue this ongoing struggle to convince Congress to radically reform the way health care is controlled in this country.

Housing Justice Movement Takes on the Barons of Real Estate
Gavin de Reuck August 3, 2020 Press Release
Proposition 21 Reaches Campaign Milestone with 3,421 Individual Donations, While Committees Representing Billionaire developers, investors funding the opposition raised millions from 141 contributors
November ballot measure that will limit rent increases and preserve affordable housing in California sees an influx of support and small donations as millions of Californians already struggling with the state's high housing costs face further housing insecurity due to economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic
LOS ANGELES (July 31, 2020) Housing justice advocates and champions of Proposition 21, a November 2020 state ballot initiative that will limit unfair rents, keeping families in their homes and preventing homelessness, are pleased to announce they have reached a significant campaign milestone: 3,421 individual campaign donations, with an average contribution of $12.76, have been made in support of the initiative. Meanwhile, four committees supported by the most powerful players in Big Real Estate, including the California Apartment Association, the California Rental Housing Association, Essex Property Trust, AvalonBay Communities, and Equity Residential, have raised millions with a combined 141 contributions.
The billionaire-funded committees include Californians for Responsible Housing, Californians for Affordable Housing, Californians to Protect Affordable Housing, and Californians for Responsible Housing – General Purpose Committee. The average campaign contribution for Californians for Responsible Housing sponsored by the California Apartment Association is $76,098.
As expected, a large portion of the tens of millions of dollars that will be raised in an effort to defeat the ballot measure will be donated by the same handful of billionaire developers and investors who have contributed to the state's ongoing housing affordability and chronic homeless crises. However, widespread grassroots support for Proposition 21 continues to grow as millions of Californians already struggling with the state's high housing costs face further housing insecurity due to the economic impact of COVID-19.
"With thousands of small, individual donations pouring in, California renters and those who support fair housing send a clear message: the gloves are off—we must use proven solutions to finally end the state's housing affordability crisis and keep families in their home," said Michael Weinstein, President of AHF, the organization sponsoring the initiative.
Prop 21 has the endorsement of an ever-expanding list of federal and state elected officials, local city councils, and social, housing, and racial justice organizations to support the fight for housing justice in California. Supporters include the CA Democratic Party, Congresswomen Barbara Lee
and Maxine Waters, California Senate Pro Tempore Emeritus, and LA. City Councilman-elect Kevin de León (CD-14), labor and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, and a suite of California's tenant advocacy and social justice organizations, including the statewide Housing Now! California coalition (which consists of over 100 labor and housing justice organizations), Courage California, the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Inquilinos Unidos, the Urban League of Los Angeles, and the Eviction Defense Network (EDN), as well as major labor unions, such as UNITE HERE Local 11. The Campaign has also secured the endorsements of every elected rent control board member in the state. (See the full list of endorsements here).
"The fight for housing justice will take an army of supporters who believe that all Californians deserve access to stable and affordable housing, said René Christian Moya campaign director for the YesOn21 Campaign. "Today, with over 3000 individual donations to date, a grassroots brigade of working-class renters, families, seniors, veterans, and their advocates are mobilizing and preparing to show up in November to vote yes on Prop 21 to keep families in their homes."
When passed, Proposition 21 will limit rent increases and preserve affordable housing to keep CA families in their homes. The measure would allow local communities to:
· Limit Annual Rent Increases
· Preserve Currently Affordable Housing
· Incentivize the Construction of New Housing
· Exempt Single-Family Homeowners
· Guarantee Landlords a Fair Profit
Housing Is A Human Right (HHR) is the housing advocacy division of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), and the leading sponsor of Proposition 21.
Proposition 21 is sponsored by Homeowners & Tenants United, with significant funding by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. To learn more, visit yeson21ca.org and housinghumanright.org.

Another Sky is a collection of Bonus Tracks that were started during the production of An Unseen Sky, as well as Remixes of tracks from that album.
As I did previously with Further Into The Dark (which was a companion to my first album Echoes In The Dark), this is a collection of songs that were either not ready, didn't work with the overall sound of the album, or simply didn't fit the play order of An Unseen Sky. Along with those bonus tracks are 5 remixes, four of which are by amazing artists. I hope you check out their music in the links. They all did an amazing job. I also included a remix I did myself this time – my first time ever remixing myself. I think it came out really cool. As for the entire album… I love it. I'm so proud of this release. In some ways, I like it just as much if not better than some of the songs that actually made An Unseen Sky.
Another Sky will not be available for sale. At some point these tracks could end up on a compilation of bonus songs or remixes, but for now, this is a FREE release. However, I won't be releasing it to the public for a while. For the time being, this will be a bonus for people that support my career in any of the ways mentioned in this blog post: Another Sky Is Here!
Thanks again for listening. I hope you enjoy listening to Another Sky as much as I enjoyed making it.


For the better part of a year, Paul George signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2018 has been treated as an open secret across the NBA.
Starting around the trade deadline in 2017, carrying through the NBA Draft last summer and through this season, the rumors of George coming back to his home state of California have never stopped.
That extends beyond the NBA media to the players around the league. In a live recording of the Woj Pod by Adrian Wojnarowski, CJ McCollum acknowledged that he expects George to go to L.A.
CJ McCollum: I already tried to get Paul George once. He already turned us down once. You can only shoot your shot so much in the DMs before you have to just give up. He left me on read receipt. But nah, he's a cool dude. He's got to do what's best for his family and he couldn't control where he went. He ended up getting traded anyway to OKC. I wish him nothing but the best and I'm sure he'll enjoy that California sunshine.
McCollum: What? It's the truth.
Whether McCollum is working with inside information or just stating what has been said for the last 12 months and more, it's interesting to see that players now feel that George will be a Laker.
The Lakers will likely have to still battle teams for George's services with Philadelphia expected to go after the veteran swingman. However, given George's history of stating he would have loved to have "gone home" to Los Angeles and Laker fans chanting his name in his last trip to Staples Center, George still seems like an odds-on favorite to come back to Los Angeles, a place where he grew up.
His move could be the first of many dominoes to fall this off-season with the Lakers' plan of acquiring two max superstars, likely George and LeBron James, still one the team plans on attempting to execute. However, if James does not come, the Lakers may also look to pair Kawhi Leonard with George via trade with the Lakers reportedly making no players untouchable this summer.

Over two and a half days, we'll introduce you to the best spots along this stunning coastline with its dramatic cliffs, golden-sand beaches, traditional fishing villages, and award-winning golf courses.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Algarve is one of the top spots in Europe to enjoy the outdoor life. The diet here is also healthy by default. Algarvians eat more fish and seafood per capita than any other European. And with an abundance of locally-grown fruit and vegetables, eating healthy comes naturally—and inexpensively—here.
One of the huge benefits of owning a foothold in the Algarve, of course, is that you also stake a claim to the Continent. A weekend in Paris, London, or Milan is suddenly a new possibility. As is a longer trip… inter-railing through France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece, and beyond… or taking a slower pace by foot along the Camino de Santiago.
Europe holds much opportunity. But nowhere else in Europe offers the same wonderful lifestyle at affordable prices that we see in Portugal today.
Full details are here. But don't delay. Reserve your seat while our Early Bird Discount of US$250 still stands… and save another US$50 with your exclusive LIOS Confidential reader discount (use Coupon Code PORTCONFIDENTIAL).
I hope to welcome you to the Tivoli Carvoeiro Beach Resort this July.

Deviations in the course of growth and development may be important indicators of serious medical disorders. Even when parents don't suspect a problem, they often give the first clue that something is wrong. For all children with intact children, accurate height and weight measurements as well as head circumference measurements should be made at each examination during the first year of life. Regular and consecutive measurements are much more wounded than single measurements, because deviations from the child's specific growth graph can be determined, even if the values determined in a particular child are within the normal range.
Children's height, scale and head circumference are evaluated by monitoring growth, social behavior and neurological changes ( related to the nervous system ) monitoring is useful to detect deviations from the normal development process before it is too late. According to this, some behaviors and skills exhibited by the growing child at different ages by evaluating the suitability of age, if any deviation from normal, action should be taken to do further research.

Q: Changing Data directory in MariaDB I have a doubt :

Is mariadb support datadirectory location change from the default
  location to the another user defined location ?

When Iam trying to change datadir location of mariadb by editing the path in the configuration file my.ini, after this, restart the mariadb service, but it couldn't started. Only the default(installation) datadir location worked. The same succefully worked with mysql.
Because this is the reason for my doubt...
Please anyone to help me from this issue... (Iam trying in windows)

A: If you are using a distro like redhat/centos then selinux is not letting mariadb write outside of the pre-set data directory.
If you are using something like ubuntu then apparmour is doing the same thing that selinux is doing.
For a quick fix you can try disabling the one in question and then trying.

A: I am using InnoDB and had the same issue on windows (x64), I got the following error line (don't know what you got):
InnoDB: Error: log file .\ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 5242880 bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 52428800 bytes!

What helped was deleting the ib_logfile* files in the data folder from the new location.
That created new logfiles w/o losing any data in the database.

It is harvest time - time to bring in the forage - maintaining quality and eliminating bottlenecks. That is was impresses every specialist. The self-loading wagon is still the most economic form of crop handling for any size of operation. That is what farmers who want to cut costs consider this system the only option.


Ideal for demanding urban environments, the Blyth concrete bench is a long-standing favourite and a popular seating choice. The Blyth outdoor concrete bench range introduces radiused edges for improved comfort for users, and a shallow-domed top to aid water run-off. The standard range of bench options comprises solo, end and mid units of various sizes, meaning stand-alone and continuous concrete wall seating can be coordinated from the same range. LED illumination is available to create a lighting feature at the base. To reduce the risk of damage from skateboard grinding, concrete benches can be supplied with anti-skate devices, and arms and backrests are available for 2m long units where concrete seats are required.
A 50 x 50mm recess to the lower edge is a design feature on all Blyths, which can be set directly on the ground or inset in the paving.
Given the heavy weight of all Blyth units, they are generally left freestanding, although studs can be fitted to the underside to provide a key into a concrete foundation if preferred.
For continuous seating runs comprising multiple units, adjacent units can be simply butted up to each other as a dry-fit, or jointed using a fibreboard spacer with the joint filled with a mastic or mortar sealant. Please contact our Design Department to discuss these options in more detail.

Home Vedic Astrology & Your Profession Saturn creates fortunate and unfortunate comments in life
Saturn creates fortunate and unfortunate comments in life
Grant Lewi in his book `Astrology for the Millions' has found out one most important theory by which you can find out your best period in life. According to him, Saturn in the planet of fate and destiny. By making research on its transit movements, he came to the conclusion that transit Saturn when travels from 7th to the 10th house (strongest point in a chart) big political leaders assume their maximum power and earn name and fame during that time. They recede from name and fame when transit Saturn travels from the 1st to the 4th house (weak points in a chart). By the time when transit Saturn comes in the 4th they all fade away completely or death makes their end.
Grant Lewi has applied this theory in the lives of strong men of destiny like Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte-1 Kaiser withelm, Mussolini and Marshal Stalin. He found that most of them fade away as soon as transit Saturn entered the 3rd house and when Saturn entered the 4th house, they became practically ruined.
Jyoti Basu, former Chief Minister of West Bengal was born on 8/7/1914 at 10.50 AM, his Lagna is Virgo. In 1976 when General Election was held, Saturn was placed in his 11th house. This position of Saturn helped him to win over the election and to become a leader of the left-front and to form his ministry.
Netaji Subhash Ch. Bose was born on 23-1-1897 at 12 noon. His Lagna is Aries. He became the President of Indian National Congress in 1938 when Saturn was placed in his 12th house. He did not like Gandhiji's non-violent movement. He believed that Swaraj could not be had by non-violent means. He said, `Give me blood and I will give you freedom'. Thus he escaped from India and went to Germany in disguise in 1940. He formed his new party `I.N.A.' with Japanese aid in 1943 and launched his fight with the British Army. But he died in a plane crash on 18-8-1945 when Saturn was in his 3rd house.
Dr. Rajindra Prasad was born on 3.12.1884 at 10.44 A.M. His Lagna is Capricorn. He became the first President of India in 1950 when Saturn was transiting in his 10th house, and continued this post upto 1962 when Saturn moved to the first house.
From the above, you will find that Transit Saturn when travels from the 7th to the 10th house, the native gets the best fortunate results in his life, but starts fading away when transit Saturn enters the first house and completely vanishes when transit Saturn enters his 4th house. But the theory is very effective in the case of political leaders only. In other cases, this theory is not so effective.


More thorough inspections: During the winter, boats are typically stored in dry docks to protect them from prolonged water exposure, corrosion and weather-related damage. When boats are dry docked, technicians can assess their condition more thoroughly and you can get a much closer look at the boat to determine whether it's the right choice for you.
Wider selection of boats: During the summer, popular boat models sell out fast, and you might have a hard time getting your hands on the boat that you really want. In the winter, competition from other buyers dies down so that you can have your pick of boats. In some cases, you might even be able to secure better deals on new and used boats in Fenton, MI during the winter, allowing you to enjoy some savings.
Hands on assistance from a broker: Because fewer people buy boats in the winter, your broker will likely have a lot more time to devote to your needs. They will be able to more thoroughly walk you through all of your different options and help you find the boat that's best for you.
When you're ready to purchase a boat, take the time to research your options and become familiar with the market in your area. One of the best ways to find a new boat is by attending a winter boat show. These shows usually take place at marinas where you can browse a wide variety of boats and find options that meet your needs and budget. These shows are great places to meet other boaters and learn about their experience with different types of boats. Getting advice and recommendations from other boaters and boat brokers can help you make the best decision. Ask plenty of questions and take your time when you're selecting your boat so that you can find the best option possible for your needs and preferences.
If you're interested in purchasing a boat this winter, visit Lake Ponemah Marina for a great selection to choose from. We sell a wide variety of new and used boats in Fenton, MI that are designed to deliver incredible performance, reliability and longevity for all of your recreational activities. In addition to our boats for sale, we also offer a variety of boat services, including boat storage and repair. Regardless of what your specific needs may be, we would be happy to assist you. Give us a call or stop by to find out more about what we can do for you.

Northeast Florida school boards, community weigh in on education priorities for legislators
Teresa Stepzinski
Demographic differences aside, Duval County and neighboring Northeast Florida school districts have similar requests for the Legislature: more local control, more flexibility and no more unfunded state mandates.
The Legislature convenes Jan. 10.
The Duval County School Board made its legislative priorities known last month, and School Board members in St. Johns and Clay counties recently adopted similar priorities.
On Monday, Save Duval Schools unveiled a proposed community legislative agenda for education. It's asking stakeholders including Jacksonville Public Education Fund, Duval County Council of PTAs and Duval Teachers United to support it.
"Our overall message is don't harm our schools. No more cuts," Colleen Doherty Wood, executive director of Save Duval Schools, told the audience of about 25 representatives from the stakeholder groups.
Resulting from a collaborative effort by dozens of community members, the four-point agenda mirrors the legislative priorities set by the Duval County School Board on Oct. 13.
The agenda calls for less unfunded or underfunded state mandates, less constrictive accountability procedures and less duplication of services. At the same time, the school system should have more time to adopt new textbooks and more freedom to choose the textbooks they will use.
Citing their district's continuing growth, St. Johns County School Board members agreed on Oct. 4 that reduced state funding "is jeopardizing our ability to maintain our existing schools and our ability to build new ones," said Christina Langston, school system spokeswoman.
Student enrollment has increased an average of 4 percent annually over the past five years. At the same time, the school system's capital outlay budget lost access to more than $59 million, she said.
The St. Johns board wants to be allowed to replace tax dollars for capital projects that the Legislature previously took away. It wants the authority to levy a capital projects' property tax rate up to 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed value after all applicable exemptions. A super-majority, which is four of the five board members, would have to approve the tax.
A new formula, the board also said, is needed to ensure the distribution of state Public Education Capital Outlay dollars reflects the needs of growing school districts like St. Johns.
In its priorities, the Clay County School Board said funding must be provided for state initiatives including digital content and assessments such as increased band width, hardware and support and infrastructure,
Clay board members also want the state to delay implementation of Senate Bill 736 until research documents that performance pay raises student achievement or improves teacher quality.

More:Sometimes the valedictorian in Palm Beach County and the top-ranked senior in the class aren't the same person.
Jeff credits his father, who owned his own electrical engineering business in Haiti, as his inspiration to become valedictorian at the 2,500-student school in Lantana.
"I do the best I can to show my father his sacrifice wasn't for nothing," Jeff said.
Since he has been attending the school's dual-enrollment program, Jeff will start at FAU close to completion of his associate's degree in computer engineering. Staying close to home and saving money are the reasons he is attending FAU.
"I didn't want to pay extra to live in a dorm. I plan on attending a more prestigious school when I go for my Master's degree in computer science," said Jeff, who also speaks Creole.

While his weighted GPA is 5.5, Jeff has had a few stumbles on the report card. There was that "B" in calculus last year.
"I can't be lazy. It's good to get humbled once in a while," he said.
When not studying, Jeff likes to work out, eat healthy and play basketball. As a crew trainer at a McDonald's in Lake Worth Beach for the last two years, he learned lots of valuable life lessons. He was last year's employee of the year.
"You learn how to communicate with people. You have a tough skin. It's never worth it to lose your temper. Listen. Pay attention to detail," he said.
Those life lessons will be in his back pocket as he pursues his career, he said.
"Your background doesn't matter. Not everyone is born a genius. You have to put in the hard work and effort," he said.
Who is your hero?
My hero is my dad, he's a great man that puts the health, safety, and happiness of his children above his own.
What is your favorite movie?
My favorite movie is the "Harry Potter" movie series, I also love the books and they are very nostalgic to my childhood.
What are your hobbies?
I love going to the gym and exercising my limits there. I also enjoy playing basketball and soccer with my friends. In addition I enjoy cooking and watching anime.
What do you do to get away or take a break?
When I want to get away or take a break I like to go to Disney World with my girlfriend.
If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?
If I could have dinner with anyone in history it would be Albert Einstein. I would love to see how he thinks and tackles new problems.
What is the best advice you ever received?
The best advice I have ever received is never to put anyone else's happiness above your own.
My favorite book is "The Kane Chronicles." I was a big fan of Greek and Egyptian gods when I was younger, and these books were always so thrilling.
What is your favorite memory?
My favorite memory is eating a raw pepper with my best friend.
How do you feel about possibly having a virtual graduation ceremony instead of an in-person event?
I'd like to be able to see my peers and congratulate them on graduating in person, however, I understand the circumstances may not be favorable.
How do you feel about spending your last year of high school mostly isolated from friends because of coronavirus?
I feel like it was an important sacrifice to make in order to keep us safer collectively, however, I do wonder how my year would've gone if it wasn't for the coronavirus.


A free online toolkit has recently been released to help employers and staff when someone returns to work after a mental health problem. Developed by researchers from Kingston University, Loughborough University and Affinity Health at Work, the website guides employers and employees through six steps, including how to deal with absence and communicate about mental health.
The Return to Work website also features templates for absence letters, facts about mental health, checklists for each stage of sick leave and a comprehensive guide for returning to work, including exercises such as identifying work priorities.

Two 14-year-old Boys Hacked School WiFi Network to Avoid Exam
Two School students at a New Jersey high school Jamming their School WiFi Network on multiple times to avoid exams.
Both students were charged with the to commit computer criminal activity after school, both of the student's name was not released.
In this case, they used an app or a computer program to take down the entire school WiFi network to on multiple occasions to get out of taking exams, Secaucus police said.
Most of the U.S school's curriculum is internet-based, the lack of Wi-Fi connection disrupted the students' daily assignments.
Officials believe that both students got a request from other students to bring down the WiFi Network.
According to report from NJ, "Students interviewed Monday afternoon believe the boys used a Wi-Fi interrupter program, or an app, to send so much traffic to the routers that the system would crash, which ultimately caused connection failures when students tried to log on, do class work or take exams on their computers."
"One day we were supposed to be doing work on our Chromebooks, but we had no activity whatsoever to do in class because the Wi-Fi shutdown," said a student in the 10th grade at the 634-student high school on Millridge Road. "It interrupted the whole class, unfortunately."
"Our Wi-Fi connection was compromised over the past week," Schools Superintendent Jennifer Montesano said Monday. "The system has been restored and is now fully operational."
Other students said that, If you don't want to be in a test, you're going to have to deal with it because he wasn't the only one who wasn't going to take that test. It was a whole class, NJ report.

'Athletics needs good role models' - Ennis
Jessica Ennis has her sights set on an Olympic gold medal to add to her world title © Getty Images
Profile: Jessica Ennis-Hill
World heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis believes athletics has taken a positive turn and believes the profile of the sport will increase thanks to London 2012.
Athletics has been plagued by high-profile drugs scandals involving the likes of Dwayne Chambers and Marion Jones in recent years, but with Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt and Ennis coming through, Ennis believes the sport is growing in stature.
"I think in the past few years athletics has really taken a big turn and we have got some really positive role models coming through," Ennis told Sky Sports News. "Obviously with London 2012 on the horizon it has sparked interest in sport and definitely in athletics.
"Role models are so important, especially at a younger level. I know when I was younger I looked up to people like Denise Lewis, and that helped inspire me and push me."
An ankle injury just two months before the 2008 Beijing Games ended Ennis' hopes of an Olympic medal, but she put the injury woes behind her and bounced back to win the World Championship gold in Berlin last summer, before claiming the indoor pentathlon world title in Doha last month.
"It is every athlete's dream and their No. 1 goal to win an Olympic gold medal," she said. "I have dreamt about it for a very long time. Having missed Beijing was a massive blow so to have the opportunity to have a home Olympics is really special.
"It was pure devastation; tears, it was really upsetting time. But then you have to refocus and get yourself together and focus on the next best thing."
Ennis revealed that the injury forced her to make a major change to her long jump technique, changing take-off leg to reduce the impact on her right foot, where she struggled with stress fractures.
"I decided with my coach that the best thing to do was to change my take-off leg to reduce the impact through the foot," she said. "It took time retraining, learning the skill on the other side but I think it was the best thing to do for the future to avoid injuries like that again."

Candida being a major blood stream fungal pathogen, risk stratification in patients and correct identification of species is the need of the hour owing to emergence of non- C. albicans and anti-fungal resistance. We aimed to speciate Candida isolates from blood cultures, evaluate anti-fungal susceptibility pattern and assess risk factors in this retrospective cohort study between May 2013 to December 2014.Yeast isolates obtained by BacT/ALERT® 3D automated microbial detection system were subcultured and identified using Vitek 2 yeast identification and anti-fungal susceptibility testing system, germ tube test and HiCrome Candida differential agar medium. Predisposing risk factors were analyzed using Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Of the 12, 637 blood culture samples, 56 Candida species were isolated from 46 patients contributing to 5.15 % (56/1088) of total positives. All patients with candidemia were admitted in the intensive care units. Male: female ratio was 2.5. C. tropicalis -33.39% (19/56) was the most common isolate. 16.27 % (7/43) of non C. albicans isolates showed intermediate level susceptibility to fluconazole and 50 % (3/6) of C. haemulonii isolates were Amphotericin-B resistant. Among the risk factors- age, length of hospitalization, broad-spectrum antibiotics, diabetes mellitus, central venous catheters, mechanical ventilation, recent surgery and total parenteral nutrition were significantly related. Emergence of non- C. albicans is an important problem in tertiary set-ups. Active screening in high risk groups can shorten diagnostic delays and help achieve better clinical results.

State Roundup
Gas tax tally leaves Republicans shouting
by Len Lazarick | Mar 22, 2013 | Annapolitics Blog, News, Taxes | 1 |
House Majority Leader Kumar Barve discusses gas tax hike.
The House of Delegates passed a $2 billion gas tax hike 78 to 56 Friday afternoon. Or did it pass 76 to 63, as we were told later, after delegates switched their votes?
It was all over but the shouting at 1:42 p.m. when the reading clerk hit the tally button on his touch screen monitor, but there was plenty of shouting by outraged Republicans.
Del. Nic Kipken, the normally mild-mannered Republican from Pasadena, was angrily waving his rule book as he demanded to know why the vote was taken so fast. With the green and red votes displayed but not yet officially counted, delegates had been standing to explain their votes, as permitted under House rules. But only Majority Leader Kumar Barve was recognized by House Speaker Michael Busch, who later insisted he had given everyone an opportunity to talk during debate.
Del. Neil Parrott, the Washington County freshman, was the only Republican recorded voting green, after he had initially voted red. He later admitted the move was designed to confuse the running tally which is only visible on a screen at the speaker's rostrum. Others in the chamber have to try and count the green and red lights on the voting boards mounted on the walls.
Parrott got permission to change his vote, but the parliamentary protest continued, with lots of confusing cross talk. House Minority Leader Tony O'Donnell demanded the vote be retaken – a motion only in order if he had been on the winning side, which he wasn't.
Rammed up their nose
"This is being rammed up our nose," O'Donnell objected from his front row seat, perhaps politely avoiding mention of another orifice.
Parrott demanded the same reconsideration, since he had been on the prevailing side – at least before he changed his vote – but he was ruled out of order too.
Frustrated, angry and outvoted as usual, O'Donnell announced a meeting of the House Republican caucus in the lounge, 40 members marched off the floor, and the state troopers who provide security blocked the doors, apparently under orders from an aide to the speaker. (Party caucuses are not covered by the Open Meetings Act.)
The unhappy Republicans returned after several minutes, and the tension was briefly relieved by a visit from Torrey Smith of the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
The speaker stood at the rostrum, unmoved by the protests and brief chaos, allowing Republicans to explain their votes on the Baltimore school construction legislation. "I do not take the call, the clerk takes the call," Busch told the chamber after another Republican complaint about the earlier process.
Del. Johnny Wood, a 26-year veteran from St. Mary's County and one of the 20 Democrats to vote against the gas tax hike, recalled another old timer from the past who would stand on the floor after an action he didn't like, saying, "shame, shame, shame."
"Shame on what's going on in this House," Wood said.
Asked in an interview why he thought Busch acted as he did when it seems Democrats had the votes, O'Donnell said, "To show who is the alpha dog."

The Democratic Party sunk so low they allow someone unelected to be on the floor. They deserve in 2014 to be a minority party. While boss hog Barve and his band of trio misfits have the Washington Times readers believing they are passing what people want the Democrats have been out of touch. I see most Dems being primary by those on the further left that those seats will go Republican.

Shanghai's Pudong Airport Eyes Huge Expansion
Shanghai's Pudong International Airport is about to open a massive expansion to its already vast facility and says that it will soon have the 'world's largest satellite terminal'.
The new Shanghai terminal building. Photo: Shanghai Airport
What are the details?
As initially reported by Business Traveller, the airport is set to open 'two' new terminals this month… but has yet to actually give a specific date to media. So far we only know that Delta has issued a notice that all their flights will operate out of the new terminal from September 23rd and that the airport authority mentioned in April that there will be a rail link between the two terminals open by September.
"The third phase expansion project of Pudong Airport is of good quality, and all kinds of facilities and equipment are operating normally, in line with the current technical standards and relevant regulations of civil aviation." – Translated from Shanghai's Pudong International Airport press release.
The airport press release goes on to boast about vast glass walls and sweeping ceilings that don't require columns to support.
The new terminal as seen from above. Photo: Shanghai Airport
What is the new terminal like?
The new terminal is actually split into two distinct terminals to match the two existing terminals at the airport.
The two terminals as seen from above. On the left is the original two terminal buildings (T1 and T2) and to the right is the new terminals (S1 and S2). Photo: Shanghai Airport Authority
The new terminals are H-shaped as seen from above and will have 622,000 square meters of floor space. The Asia Times reported that it took 8,000 workers three years to build the new facility and it required rerouting entire taxiways to build the underground infrastructure (baggage handing and the new rail link). The new terminal has a capacity for 83 aircraft to arrive via jet bridges and 125 to be parked at remote stands.
S1 is believed to be for China Eastern and other Skyteam members (such as Delta) whilst S2 will be for Air China and its Star Alliance partners. Passengers traveling on these airlines will check-in still at the main terminal buildings, before riding the trains to the satellite terminals.
And this new capacity is required, with the airport keen to hit a target of 110 million passengers per year by 2025. Last year they reached only 74 million passengers. In combination with Shanghai's other airport Hongqiao, which mainly focuses on smaller local routes or domestic travel, the city hub is the fifth busiest in the world (behind the likes of London, New York, Tokyo, and Atlanta).

Shanghai is in a good location compared to other competitor hubs such as Hong Kong or Singapore. With close access to many densely populated cities, Shanghai is closer to North American destinations (and Europe) than their southern counterparts.
What do you think of these new terminal buildings? Will it affect your travel? Let us know in the comments.

Unlike other parts of your unit, the living room is the epicenter for family gatherings. As it is where you entertain your guests, it is only essential for you to focus on its functionality. Choosing a ceiling design for your living room should also take into factors like the location of the installation.

While false ceilings will undoubtedly make your interiors more luxurious and appealing, don't overlook tiny details that may affect its overall design. Even simple false ceiling designs for living room require strategic planning. You should plan to equip your ceiling with matching finishing accessories to offer it a more unique appeal.

Former armed forces personnel seeking help for mental health problems in Northern Ireland find it harder to access services than their counterparts across the UK because of security fears, a veterans' charity has said.
Andy Allen, who helps to run AA Veterans' Support (AAVS) in Belfast, said the political situation in Northern Ireland compounded the stigma already facing ex-services personnel seeking treatment for a range of mental health conditions.
"A lot of people are frightened and concerned about divulging their previous service to health care professionals, GPs or mental health services," he said.
"Access to services is somewhat difficult for former service personnel in Northern Ireland, as it is across the UK, but add in the security factor here and it makes it much more complicated for veterans to avail of the support."
The former Royal Irish soldier was speaking yesterday after a government report revealed that the number of armed forces personnel and veterans seeking mental health care has nearly doubled over the past decade to just over 3%.
Mr Allen, a UUP MLA for east Belfast but speaking in the capacity of his role in the charity, described the figure as "alarming", adding it fits anecdotally with what he observes day-to-day at AA Veterans' Support.
"We've seen a 100% increase year on year on the numbers of individuals coming to us for mental health provisions," he added.
"There's a whole range of difficulties that people are facing such as anxiety, depression, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), adjustment disorder.
"We're also seeing that people are having difficulties in getting a diagnosis, part of that is down to the NHS being overstretched right across wider society for mental health provision."
Official Ministry of Defence figures showed that 3.1% of serving personnel are diagnosed with mental health conditions, twice the number that had been recorded in 2008/09.
But the House of Commons Defence Committee warned that the number of veterans with conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder or depression could be three times higher, at about 10%, amid concern that some may not seek help because of stigma surrounding mental health.
Deployment to combat roles in Iraq or Afghanistan "clearly increased the likelihood of mental health conditions", with one 2014 study finding PTSD levels of 6.9% among regular troops and 6% among reservists.
