Organized as a travel guide for the time-hopping tourist, The Time-Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England is an entertaining popular history with a twist. Historian Ian Mortimer reveals in delightful (and occasionally disturbing) detail how the streets and homes of 16th century looked, sounded, and smelled for both peasants and for royals; what people wore and ate; how they were punished for crimes and treated for diseases; and the complex and contradictory Elizabethan attitudes toward violence, class, sex, and religion.

By: Jack Kerouac, Aram Saroyan - foreword
Narrated by: Ethan Hawke
In this 1962 novel, Kerouac's alter ego, Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess, gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol.

In the words of Allen Ginsberg, Big Sur "reveals consciousness in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion".

With music by One Ring Zero.
Winner of Borders "Original Voices" Book of the Year and a New York Times Editors' Choice, Ballad of the Whiskey Robber tells the hilarious and improbable true story of Attila Ambrus, the Robin Hood of Eastern Europe. He's the onetime pelt smugger, goaltender (possibly the worst in the history of pro hockey), pen salesman, Zamboni driver, gravedigger, church painter, roulette addict, building superintendent, whiskey drinker, and native of Transylvania who's decided that the best thing to do with his time is to rob as many banks as possible.
Welcome to Julian Rubinstein's uproariously funny and unforgettable account of crime in the heart of the new Europe. Part Unbearable Lightness of Being, part Pink Panther, and part Slap Shot, Rubinstein's tale is a spectacular literary debut - and a story so outrageous that it could only be true.

What listeners say about Ballad of the Whiskey Robber
couldn't stop listening (or laughing), fun, fun, book. it will make root for the underdog.
Truth is better than fiction
I loved this story. Each time I found myself thinking, "This is too farfetched," I remembered that it's actually a true story! The reader is great and even the music, which I usually find distracting, is very professional and adds to the feel of the story.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable "lite" read. I liked that different people spoke their parts. Quiky and fun book! It made me want to visit Hungary, and Romania...
Well narrated and humorous. The incompetence of a fledgling free market state police force vs a bank robber, with. A drinking problem.
Delightful, hysterical, historical!
This book is delightful, hysterical, and historical! The well-paced narration sounds like a spontaneous telling of the story. The oddball characters that are voiced are performed convincingly. Thoroughly enjoyable! Though you may not care for him, you will find yourself rooting for the smuggler/bank robber/criminal main character! Surprisingly unusual story! The closest thing to it I can think of is The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. But this Robber story held my interest better.
Everything an audibook should be
I cannot recommend listening to this book enough. The story is very interesting but the varied voice acting, integration of music, etc make this an all around great, highly entertaining experience!
Funniest book EVER
The author/narrator is fantastic. I listened to this book three times and am still intrigued!! I'm scanning audible weekly for new Julian Rubenstein books.
Hungarian history and a good story to boot
The tale is a good one, one that has its environs in a society under turmoil. If there was ever a case for someone to commit a crime the Whiskey Robber's modus operandi should be followed. The Whisky Robber was a man who became a modern-day folklore hero in two countries because the socio-economic conditions of a post-communist country warrants a man taking the banks, the wealthy, and the government to task with grace. I enjoyed the inclusion of familiar political figures, such as Al Gore. A fantastic look into Hungary's recent past. Rubinstein was spot on in taking the reader through the complicated times of an unemployed professional hockey player. It makes one think… what would I do in this situation? I recommend this to anyone who wants a well-written view into another world.
Mogwai Mike
super boring
I couldn't even finish this book, I actually struggled to make it to chapter 6 and that was with me speeding up the audio to 1.5x. The only reason I picked up this book was for my local book club, but I just couldn't do it. It moves slow and goes back and forth for characters.
A classic tragedy with some humor that grew on me.
The narrator's deliver, the style of writing, the main character. All things I was not a fan of in the very beginning, but it was interesting enough to keep going. In the end I was enjoying every new caper or near-disaster. You keep rooting for Attila, but a flame that burns that bright can last very long.
There is also a good amount of Hungarian and Eastern European history and culture in the book. Very interesting and entertaining, though I did wonder about the accuracy or impartial nature of it due to the style of book.
This is undoubtedly the best audiobook you will ever listen to. I've listened to it more times than you can imagine and even got myself a copy of the now out of print book and read it many times too. I cant praise Rubinstein's storytelling enough and as for the whiskey robber, well I don't even know what to say
Áine Breen
Told adequately
cracking true story. This book has been a great find. Story told in an unique way.
Andrew Agoston-Jones
Amazing and gripping then you realise it's all true
You read this book and yes it takes a couple of chapters to get going , but once the action begins you really fear for him and laugh out loud at points too. The voices add to the story as well
Sergiu Pobereznic (author)
brilliant.!!!!
loved it from start to finish. can't say any more than that. buy it and see

Kellogg Employees volunteer more than 2,400 hours in communities around the world
nikholas December 5, 2022 2 min read
Efforts mark nearly a decade of honoring World Food Day
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Kellogg Company announced today – International Volunteer Day – that employees around the world volunteered more than 2,400 hours as part of the company's Volunteer Pledge to honor World Food Day.
For nearly a decade, Kellogg has been honoring World Food Day by giving back to communities around the world. This year, the company asked employees to volunteer at least two hours, either virtually or in person. Employees from every region participated.
Kellogg employees volunteered over 2,400 hours around the world to honor World Food Day.
"Giving back to others is a long-held belief at Kellogg Company. As part of our Better Days Promise environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, Kellogg takes action to create better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030 and, importantly, encourages others to do the same," said Stephanie Slingerland, Senior Director, Global Philanthropy and Social Impact.

In the U.S., employees volunteered in our hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan, but also across the country, sorting food at local food banks, packing backpacks with school supplies for children, cleaning up local parks, and much more.
As an added incentive, Kellogg pledged that for every hour that employees logged by the end of Nov. 30, the company would donate $10 to long-time partner, United Way to help create better days for neighbors who may be struggling with basic needs like putting food on the table for their families.
"At Kellogg, a promise is a commitment. And our Better Days Promise begins with our people," Slingerland said. "We're grateful that so many employees are passionate about helping create better days for 3 billion people by the end of 2030."

Close Encounters of The OMG Kind, Part IX
by Dustin January 6, 2019
Overlooking Grand Canyon. Photo by Jenny Hodges (Omigod, Dibs!)
Just as the sun shined a glimpse of itself over the silhouette of the Desert Mountains in the distance, Jenny and I were already awake. She had more sleep time than me, which was around 3 hours due to the late night attempt of spotting UFOs. When the sun was out enough to see what we were doing, we got ourselves back on the road, but before we left the area completely, we decided to drive back down the highway a short distance to where the "black mailbox" was, to take some pictures. This place in the desert was an area of mystique, wonder and mystery. It's a place in the Nevada desert that has captivated the imagination of millions worldwide and we were lucky enough to leave a very small imprint of energy of ourselves there. To have placed a small quantity of our life's time there in the desert over our night's stay was well worth it. It was truly a great bit of excitement for us and we were so glad that we took the time to go out of our way to experience it. We will for sure go back again.
It was time to leave this nugget of an adventure and head on to some other really neat places. We made our way south toward Vegas, but did not stop there. We weren't interested in gambling, shows, and city ruckus; we wanted to see the wonders of the world, like the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. Once we made our way through and out of Vegas, we came upon the Nevada and Arizona state borders where we visited the Hoover Dam. You know, the Hoover Dam was once considered the eighth wonder of the world after its completion in 1935. Wow, what a manmade structure it was and such a feat of engineering to accomplish! It was incredible to see such a structure built from 6,000,000 tons of concrete! I don't know if you've ever worked with concrete, but that's a lot of mixing and wheelbarrow runs! They say that that's enough concrete to pave a road from New York to Los Angeles. Can you imagine?!
The reservoir created by the Hoover Dam is Lake Mead, a lake created by the inflow of water from the Colorado River, was a beautiful place to get out and look around. It was like it was a little oasis in the desert; not much around, but barren land and a blue manmade lake divided between Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada. Although the area was a terrific treat to see, we needed to get to the Grand Canyon before it got too late in the day for us, because we knew that seeing the Grand Canyon would take up most of our day in seeing and hiking it, and we were also anxious because neither of us at the time had ever seen the Grand Canyon.

National Park Adventure Guide
From what I can remember, there was quite a little drive we had to take to get to whatever point we were going to through the Grand Canyon National Park, but once we got to a spot we could stop and really get out an see this giant gouge in the earth, it was inexplicably magnificent. I had seen pictures for years of the Grand Canyon and really didn't think much about it, honestly. I mean, I never heard people around me talk about it or ever tell me that they had seen it, I only knew of what I had heard from people I didn't know, like on TV. So, I had no real reference or preparation for myself for the moment of eye contact of the naturally eroded valley. Pictures do not do a canyon of this enormity justice in the slightest bit. Video really doesn't do the Grand Canyon any justice in showing how massive and grand the place really is either. It was incredible! It was like arriving at a whole new planet, standing on its edge looking out at miles of deep gouges carved in the land, the whole scenery completely alien to me. The mind flooded with a natural instinct to want to explore the land inch by inch. My legs wanted to go, but my gut said otherwise. The canyon itself was like standing on Mother Nature's version of a skyscraper, except she dug her way in instead of building her way up. On average, the canyon is 4,000 feet deep, just shy of a mile by 1,280 feet. That's like standing just over 11 football fields, from goal post to goal post, on end or standing 2 radio towers (at about 2,000 ft. tall per tower) on top of the other. You know, those really tall towers you see sometimes with the red blinking lights on them to keep planes from crashing into them? Yeah those ones. It's huge! Get this, that's not even the largest parts of the canyon. It's said that it's even up to 6,000 feet deep at its deepest point and 18 miles at its widest. That's insane! It's unimaginable unless you see it. If you've never been you HAVE to go. You'll be shocked, you'll be amazed, you'll be inspired, and you'll be awed by how incredible the natural world is and how minute we really are compared to nature's cathedrals.
This concludes "Close Encounters of The OMG Kind, Part IX". Stay tuned for more of the adventure and close encounters of the OMG kind.

TLC Officially Cancels Scandal-Ridden "19 Kids and Counting"
July 16, 2015ByRandy Slovacek
TLC has officially announced the cancellation of the reality series "19 Kids and Counting" featuring the scandal-ridden Duggar family.
"We spent the past month and a half in thoughtful consideration about what is the best way forward here," said Marjorie Kaplan, group president of TLC, Animal Planet and Velocity networks.
In a move to redirect the attention and public outcry, TLC also announced it has teamed with two prominent child-protection organizations for an ongoing campaign to raise awareness about child sexual abuse.
The multi-platform initiative will begin with a one-hour, commercial-free documentary likely airing in late August, the network said. It will include the participation of Jill and Jessa Duggar, two of the sisters Josh Duggar touched inappropriately, as well as other survivors and families affected by such abuse.
"We took it as an opportunity to step further than just 'How do we protect ourselves?' and step into 'How do we protect our audience and protect children?'" Kaplan said. "Our hope is to do more of that, in a way that's thoughtful and respectful of the victims of child abuse — in the Duggar family and across America."
TLC is partnering with Darkness to Light, whose mission is providing interested parties with techniques for protecting children from sexual abuse, and RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), which describes itself as the nation's largest anti-sexual-violence organization.
A series of reports surfaced in May regarding eldest son Josh Duggar, who had apparently molested his sisters and others 12 years ago while still a teen.
During the run of "19 Kids" the Duggar family presented itself as morally superior due to their "Christian" lifestyle, and had openly campaigned against civil rights for LGBT Americans.
Just a few weeks ago, a non-Duggar family member was reported to be preparing a civil suit against Josh Duggar for the alleged molestation.

Discoveries in the Economics of Aging
The Nexus of Social Security Benefits,…
The Nexus of Social Security Benefits, Health, and Wealth at Death

Book editor: David A. Wise
Series: The Economics of Aging
Social Security (SS) benefits are the most important component of the income of a large fraction of older Americans. A significant fraction approach later life relying heavily on SS benefits. Persons in poor health in old age have a higher-than-average probability of having experienced low earnings while in the labor force, increasing the risk of having low SS benefits in retirement. While the progressivity of the SS benefit formula provides a safety net to support low-wage workers in retirement, a noticeable fraction still have income below the poverty level in their last years. In general, low assets and low income in old age are strongly related to poor health. We explore this nexus and describe the relationship between SS benefits and the exhaustion of non-annuity assets near the end of life. We examine the relationship between the drawdown of assets between the first year an individual is observed in the AHEAD data (1995) and the last year that individual is observed before death, and that individual's health, SS benefits, and other annuity benefits. SS and defined benefit pension benefits are strongly "protective" of non-annuity assets, with a negative relationship between these income flows and the likelihood of exhausting non-annuity assets.

I have been involved with British church and para-church ministries for nearly two decades. My focus has primarily (but not exclusively) been on discipling students and young adults. However, observing their faith journeys over a number of years I began to reflect on the effects my actions were actually having. How genuinely helpful was all the mentoring, preaching and training I was doing?
Those questions extended to the wider British evangelical church. What are the results of the energy many of us expend in the hopes of seeing individuals come to, and grow in faith in Jesus?
I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to research some of them at Durham University. First an MA exploring the importance of role models (including biblical role models) on young women's faith. Subsequently a PhD looking at how young adults read the Bible. I'm currently doing post-doctoral work on faith resilience among 20-somethings.
Like many of us I have still have plenty of questions.
I listen to people's stories, ideas and conversations, analysing them to identify patterns and endeavouring to make sense of what they show.
Most of my work is qualitative; I listen to people's stories, ideas and conversations, analysing them to identify patterns and endeavouring to make sense of what they show. Quantitative work provides useful big picture data – statistics which answer the "what?" questions, but I'm particularly interested in the "why?" ones.
Some of my findings have been published as academic works, but I want them to be easily accessible to those involved in ministry. Life is short and we are busy people so, rather than another Christian book these posts will contain some of the core findings which I hope might prove useful to the wider church.
The aim of these short monthly posts is to provide rigorously researched data (rather than anecdote). My hope is that they will stimulate reflection on practise and inspire generous conversation among those interested in discipleship about how we can genuinely help, support and exhort those who follow Jesus to grow and flourish in that.

It is the settled position of law that there can be no second First Information Report in respect of same cognizable offence, same incident or occurrence - Bombay High Court
Case : Gurbachan Singh and Ors. v. Shankar K. Mathod and Anr. Criminal Application No. 5547 of 2004
Bench : Justice A. S. Gadkari
Sections 202, 256(1), 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973
Section 138 read with Sections 141 and 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
Section 420 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860
1. The relevant seminal facts are that the company of Respondent No.1, M/s Eskay Enterprises sold and supplied R.B.D Palmolein Oil to the accused and raised invoices bearing Nos. 590, 618, 619, 620, 621, 696 and 697 through the commission agent, Kiran H. Shah. The Applicants vide letter dated 22.9.1999 addressed to the said commission agent confirmed the delivery and informed that they would clear the outstanding payment pertaining to the said supply of goods. Applicant No.3 in the discharge of liability for payment of goods supplied by Respondent No.1 to M/s.Darshan Vanaspati (original Accused No.2), in his capacity as Director of M/s.Darshan Oils Ltd. issued a cheque bearing No.1731838 dated 6.11.1999 for an amount of Rs.42,16,517/- drawn on Canara Bank in favour of Respondent No.1.
2. The said Cheque was dishonoured on presentation with the Banker of Respondent No.1, Canara Bank who issued a memo dated 14.1.2000 to that effect. Thereafter, Respondent No. 1 sent a statutory notice dated 3.2.2000. As the applicant Nos. 1 to 3 did not respond to the said notice within the stipulated period as per the provisions of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, Respondent No.1 filed the complaint bearing No.99/S/2000 on 18.3.2000. By the order dated 4.4.2000, the learned Magistrate issued a process against the applicants and other accused, making it returnable on 2.11.2000.
3. Though complaint No.99/S/2000 was pending for adjudication, Respondent No. 1 being the proprietor of M/s. Eskay Enterprises, impleading the applicants in their capacity as Directors of Darshan Vanaspati and omitting the said company, filed a fresh Complaint on 21.6.2001 bearing Criminal Case No.144/Misc/2001 (renumbered as 81/S/2003) in the same Court i.e. learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 34th Court at Mumbai, under Section 420 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. A bare perusal of the second complaint i.e. C.C. No.144/Misc./2001 has been filed on the same set of facts as mentioned in the first complaint i.e. Case No.99/S/2000, except with a few variations in pleadings, only to attract Section 420 of Indian Penal Code, 1860.
4. Hence, the applicants/original accused have prayed for quashing and setting aside Criminal Case No.144/Misc/2001 (renumbered as 81/S/2003), pending on the file of learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 34th Court at Mumbai under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
Whether the applicants/original accused are entitled to quashing and setting aside of the Criminal Case No.144/Misc/2001 under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973?
1. Observed that based on the same set of facts with the same allegations, a second complaint is lodged by the Respondent No.1 to set the criminal law in motion.
2. Took cognizance of the fact that in the second complaint in para No.7, Respondent No.1 has categorically pleaded that he had filed a Complaint bearing No.99/S/2000 in the same Court.
3. Opined that the Trial Court instead of verifying the stage/status of earlier Complaint lodged by Respondent No.1, after complying with necessary legal formalities as contemplated under Section 202 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, issued process against the applicants where the applicants were arrested. They were produced before the learned Magistrate, 34th Court on 16.8.2004 and were released on bail.
4. Witnessed the dismissal of the first complaint bearing No.99/S/2000 and as a result, the applicants were acquitted under Section 256(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Hence, the arrest of the applicants in the second Complaint on 16.8.2004 on the basis of the same set of facts was unwarranted.
5. By referring to the case of T.T. Antony v. State of Kerala, 2001 Cri. L. J. 3329 : (2001) 6 SCC 181, the Court contemplated that the second Complaint bearing No.144/Misc/2001 (renumbered as 81/S/2003) filed on the same set of facts with little variation in pleadings only to attract Section 420 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 is sheer abuse of process of law and undue harassment to the applicants.
The Honourable Bombay High Court set aside the second complaint i.e. Criminal Case No.144/Misc/2001.

USS Fixity (AM-235) — тральщик класса Admirable, построенный для ВМС США во время Второй мировой войны. Корабль был заказан и заложен как патрульный корабль USS PCE-908 класса PCE-905, но перед вводом в эксплуатацию в декабре 1944 года был переименован и реклассифицирован как Fixity (AM-235). Заработал две боевые звезды за службу на Тихом океане во время войны. В ноябре 1946 года списан и переведён в резерв. В январе 1948 года передан Морской комиссии США, которая продала его в торговую службу в 1949 году.

История
Первоначально названный PCE-908, корабль был спущен на воду 4 сентября 1944 года компанией Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company, Сиэтл, Вашингтон; его крёстной матерью стала госпожа П. Дж. Тойен; корабль введён в строй 29 декабря 1944 года под командованием капитан-лейтенанта военно-морского резерва А. П. Кригера.

Отплыв из Сан-Педро, Калифорния, 4 марта 1945 года, «Фиксити» до конца месяца производил тренировки у Гавайских островов, затем пересёк Тихий океан в сопровождении конвоя в Эниветок, Улити и Окинаву. С момента своего прибытия туда 16 мая «Фиксити» занял позицию во внутреннем защитном заслоне, а 22 июня отогнал одинокий японский самолёт, который пытался атаковать его. Он служил в патрулировании и сопровождении на Окинаве до 30 августа, затем начал операции по тралению мин у берегов Кореи, сосредоточившись на подходах к Цзиньсену. 8 сентября он встретился с десантным отрядом, доставившим войска для оккупации Цзиньсена, и сопроводил их к месту назначения.

Тральщик прибыл в Сасебо 10 сентября 1945 года и базировался там для операций по зачистке японских вод до февраля 1946 года, после чего отправился к западному побережью США на разоружение. Выведен из эксплуатации в Бремертоне, штат Вашингтон, 6 ноября 1946 года и передан Морской комиссии 23 января 1948 года.

Был продан компании Jeffersonville Boat and Machine Co. из Джефферсонвилла, штат Индиана, и переоборудован для речного обслуживания в 1949 году в Paducah Marine Ways, Падука, Кентукки, переименован в M/V Commercial Dixie. Позже продан морской службе Цинциннати в Ковингтоне, штат Огайо. Затонул в реке Огайо в Мейсвилле, штат Кентукки, в конце 1990-х годов.

Fixity получил две боевые звезды за службу во время Второй мировой войны.

How To Check if an App is Chinese or Indian?
Ritik Singh
The Indian government has banned over 200 Chinese apps to date, citing national security issues. Following the ongoing geopolitical tension between both countries, people are now trying to avoid made in China apps as much as possible. However, a lot of you may find it challenging to identify an app's origin country and whether it's actually from China. Therefore, we are here with a quick guide on how you can check if an app is Chinese or Indian.
Check if an App is Chinese or Indian
1. Via Play Store/ App Store Listing
The most common way to find an app's origin country is to check its Google Play Store or App Store listing.
Head to Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Open the app download page and scroll down to the bottom.
Click on Developer Contact below ratings and reviews.
Here, you'll see all the details of the developer, including company name, email, and address, which will help you figure out the country the app is made in.
2. Check App's Website and Privacy Policy Page
If the developer country isn't mentioned in the App Store listing, you can check the app's official website or privacy policy page for more insights. Both of them are usually mentioned in the same developer contact section on Google Play Store and App Store.
3. Google Search
The company or developer name is visible for most apps on the Play Store and App Store. A quick Google search will give you information about where it is from. For developers or publishers having offices in multiple countries, look for the headquarters location.
4. Using Third-Party Apps
There are several third-party apps that help to detect Chinese apps on your phone. For instance, the Apps Remover shows you the list of all installed applications with Chinese ones marked with a star. You can search for * in the app's search bar to look for all made in China apps on your device.
There were tons of such apps on Play Store, more than half of which are now suspended by Google as the whole idea violates its policies. Also, you can't entirely rely on these apps as they may not have all apps in their database.
Some apps may use a completely unrelated developer name and address to hide their origin identity. For instance, the now-banned MV Master is a Chinese app, but the Play Store listing mentions the developer's name as XYZ Online.
On the other hand, the App Store listing and privacy policy page of the app read out Joyo Technology Pte. Ltd. as the developer, which is registered in Singapore. But in reality, the app is developed by a Chinese company called Kuaishou Technology.
So these were some things that'll help you check if an app is made in China or made in India. Anyway, if you're still unsure about whether an app is Chinese or not, you can reach out to us on Twitter or through the comments below.

Physicians' Declaration of Independence
Read & Sign the Declaration at http://AAPSonline.org/pdoi
Penned by Richard Amerling, M.D., (updated 7/2013)
When in the Course of Human Events, it becomes necessary for one Profession to dissolve the Financial Arrangements which have connected them with Medicare, Medicaid, assorted Health Maintenance Organizations, and diverse Third Party Payers and to assume among the other Professions of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that the Physician's primary responsibility is toward the Patient; that to assure the sanctity of this relationship, payment for service should be decided between Physician and Patient, and that, as in all transactions in a free society, this payment be mutually agreeable. Only such a Financial Arrangement will guarantee the highest level of Commitment and Service of the Physician to the Patient, restrain Outside Influence on Decision-Making, and assure that personal information be kept confidential.
The Financial Arrangements between Physicians and the Third Parties have become so destructive to the Patient-Physician relationship, and to the Medical Profession as a whole, that it is the Right, and Obligation, of the Members of the Profession to abolish them. Prudence will dictate that arrangements long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that Physicians are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations evinces a design to reduce them under Absolute Despotism, it is their Right; it is their Duty, to throw off such arrangements, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of this Profession; and such is now the necessity that constrains them to alter their former Financial Arrangements. The history of the present system is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct effect the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over the Medical Profession. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The Tyranny began during the Second World War, when the Government gave tax subsidies to Employers who offered Health Insurance Benefits, thus penalizing and disenfranchising individuals.
The Government created and subsidized the Health Maintenance Organization—Entities designed to ration Health Care by Capitation; These incentives set Patient against Physician, thus destroying this Sacred Trust.
The Government, in 1965, in its Infinite Wisdom and going far beyond its Powers as set out in the Constitution, decreed that the Poor and The Elderly should receive Health Care Benefits funded by the Taxpayer. Thus came into existence Medicaid and Medicare, massive Entitlements that are bankrupting the Federal and many State Governments.
Alarmed by the rising Health Care Cost that it had engendered, the Government set out to restrain fees to Physicians. These Price Controls increased Health Care Spending, as Volume of Services increased, and Quality decreased. No other Profession in the United States is denied the ability to raise fees to cover increasing costs of doing Business.
The Government enacted HIPAA, forcing the spending of billions to comply, and with no positive impact on Patient Care.
The Government passed Sustainable Growth Rate formula which lowers Medicare Physician Payment when total spending and volume increase, virtually assuring a downward spiral in Payments.
The Government and HMOs now limit fees to Physicians by "Payment for Performance," based on "Practice Guidelines." Beyond insulting our Ethic, this destroys our Professional Autonomy.
Our Leaders compel ongoing Maintenance of Certification that costs us time and money and does not improve patient care in the Least.
A Temporary Democrat Congress and President have conspired to completely take over all aspects of the Health Care System, with all patient encounters feeding into a National Database. The so-called Affordable Care Act forces citizens to buy expensive "insurance," subsidizes some, massively expands the Bureaucracy, and Empowers the corrupt Internal Revenue Service to oversee Private Health Care.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A System whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a Free Profession.
We, therefore, the undersigned Physicians of the United States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name of our Patients solemnly publish and declare, that we will withdraw our participation in all above-described Third Party Payment Systems. Henceforth and Forever, we shall agree to provide our services directly to our Patients, and be compensated directly by them, in accordance with the ancient customs of our Profession. The Patients' medical interactions with us will remain confidential. We pledge the highest level of Service and Dedication to their Well-Being.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

The right to travel enables the free exercise of the other rights we most cherish. We should not have to check our constitutional freedoms at the curb simply because we decide to leave the house. Sadly, freedom of movement has been one of the most disparaged rights throughout human history, and our country is no exception. If we are ever to be truly free, then we must possess an absolute, uninhibited right to travel throughout America and the world free from interference by government.
— Judge Andrew Napolitano

For F- and D- , we can use the minor pentatonics or the dorian scales for each chord.
For Db7 , we can use Db mixolydian, or Ab minor pentatonic or Ab dorian.
When it comes to D-, there is a certain tension if you continue to play the f-blues scale – but it might work (alternatively you might switch to the d-blues scale for these 4 bars).
Scale substitution is an interesting way to superimpose certain tonalities over certain chords. Remember in the Major Scale Modes page where it is written that you should play the scale that immediately corresponds to the chord, C major chord/ C major Scale, C lydian chord/ C lydian Scale, well, in this page we are going to contradict and have a little look at scale substitution.
The Dorian scale is also used to play over minor chords in modal tunes, like So What.
On the Em7 in the 3rd bar we can play the E Phrygian mode. As a side note I want to point out that although you theoretically play the Phrygian mode on the Em7 in a rhythm changes, you don't think about the Phrygian mode, just think C major (did that make sense, if not, give me a shout).
The Aeolian scale (aka relative minor scale) is used to play over minor chords that have a VI function or a I function in minor. An example of a VI is the second chord in a rhythm changes.
It can't get more obvious, very useful, also in a jazz context.
An Fmaj7 arpeggio over Dm adds the 9: nice sound.
One step further is Am7, it adds the 11 to the sound.
Em7 sounds a little more distant over Dm, but works fine if you alternate it with a Dm arpeggio.
Emphasizing the 6 of a minor chord works nice if the minor chord has a tonic function and not a sub-tonic function (like in a II V). In other words, the minor chord should be the I, not the II. In other words, the minor chord should not be followed by the V (Dm7 should not be followed by G7).
G7 sounds ok over Dm, especially when it has the tonic function. If you use it in a 2 5 1, you can make the b (6) on Dm7 go to #9 and b9 on G7, to the 5 of Cmaj7.

I left the tri-cities at 8:15am and it was already 85°F. It was a real grind getting through eastern Washington. I was not looking for this part of the trip and just sort of pushed my way through. This was a real nice visitor center in Ione, WA. I'm told it's pronounced "I won".
After passing into BC, the temperature dropped from 106°F down to 90°F and now it's around 85°F. Quite an improvement. I'm camped at Toad Rock Motorcycle Campground again. Not many motorcycles as the place seems to have been taken over by old VW busses. Some sort of rally.
This is the hangout spot where one can find the wi-fi. This time it seems to be working. Over 300 miles yesterday and today. Too far on a Ural but I really didn't want to camp in those temperatures. I'm just going to sort of back track my way through BC though I don't plan to go to Dawson City.
I like the looks of the hangout spot- very cosy.
Very nice place. Sitting here drinking coffee.
Glad you are back in the Kootenay's and normal temperatures. We were back up to 90 yesterday but that didn't seem too bad compared to other days.
After all this time at triple digits, 90° feels comfortable.
Beautiful British Columbia (at least that's what they claim on their lic. plates.) Love the look of the campground, kid of reminds me of the Log House in Hell's Canyon. Glad the temp has dropped enough to make camping comfortable enough. You made incredible time.
The campground is a nice place to stay. Probably real similar to the Log House campground.
Eight-five degrees that early AM?! That sounds like a hot one. Still, the trips sounds fab...will be back for me.
yep, 300 miles is a long day on a Ural....especially when its hot.
It feels longer when you chain several 300 mile days together.
Salem---shopping! What Richard didn't mention.


Recession coverage still represents a challenge when it comes to severe defects. But proper technique and material can help guarantee a successful outcome. Discover how.
Tunneling where the papillae are not incised.
The tunneling technique for multiple recession coverage derives from the supraperiosteal envelope technique in combination with connective tissue grafts (CTG).2 One of the advantages of this method is preservation of the gingival papilla continuity and creation of a pouch containing a CTG, which is slightly exposed over the recession. However, leaving the graft exposed can jeopardize the aesthetic result.
To overcome this problem, Azzi and Etienne proposed a modification to the supraperiosteal envelope technique.3 This variation consists of a full thickness elevation of the flap that continues beyond the mucogingival line to completely cover the CTG placed underneath.
During a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique, the exposed root is planed, and contact point composites stops are placed to prevent collapse of suspended sutures in the interproximal spaces.3-5 Initial sulcular incisions and flap separations are made with a microtunnel elevator. Then the mucoperiosteal dissection is extended beyond the mucogingival line and under each papilla to displace the flap together with the papillae in the coronal direction without tension. The muscles fibers or the remaining collagen bundles on the inner part of the flap alveolar mucosa are dissected with extreme care, using a blunt instrument to avoid perforation of the flap and to obtain a passive coronal positioning. After flap preparation, a CTG or a substitute can be placed underneath.
Clinicians still consider multiple recession defects a challenge, as they represent a complicated clinical situation. (Fig. 1, Fig. 2) Systematic reviews evaluating the predictability of various surgical techniques for multiple recessions indicate that the multiple coronally advanced split thickness flap with and without soft-tissue grafting and the modified coronally advanced tunnel technique using soft-tissue grafting are the most predictable ways to obtain complete root coverage in Miller Class I, II and III multiple recessions.6-9 Despite the predictability of these surgical techniques, not all of them are efficacious for class III multiple recessions.

Fig. 2D: Clinical results at 2-years follow-up. Changes in tissue thickness and depth of the vestibule are visible.
Fig. 2E: Clinical outcome after 2-years.
A randomized controlled clinical study by Aroca et al. evaluated whether the addition of enamel matrix derivative (experimental group) with a modified coronally advanced tunnel technique compared with subepithelial CTG (control group) could improve treatment outcomes for Miller class III multiple recessions 1-year post-therapy. In 20 patients with 139 recessions, the authors found that both treatments resulted in a root coverage of 82 % for test and 83 % for control groups. Stable results were obtained at 28 days, and there was no significant difference within and between groups for the position of the gingival margin and papilla after 28-days and up to 12-months post-surgery. The authors concluded that the modified coronally advanced tunnel technique provides predictable results for the treatment of Miller class III multiple recessions.
An adequate thickness of the gingival margin is the key to ensure long-term stability.10,11 As described, the most common and predictable procedure is an advanced coronal flap combined with a CTG. However, very often a patient with multiple recessions has a thin biotype, and, therefore, the harvesting of adequate CTG may be associated with increased patient morbidity, prolonged surgical time and postoperative complications.5 Attempts have been made to develop new biomaterials to replace CTG harvest.
In 2013 Aroca et al. performed a 1-year prospective, randomized, controlled, split-mouth study to evaluate the clinical outcome when treating Miller class I and II multiple recessions using modified coronally advanced tunnel technique and using either Geistlich Mucograft® or CTG.5 At 1-year, compared with the baseline, both treatments resulted in statistically significant improvements for complete root coverage, mean recession coverage, keratinized tissue width and gingival thickness. The authors concluded that the use of collagen matrix may represent an alternative to CTG by reducing surgical time and patient morbidity.

The arrival of Company of Heroes 2 was met with high expectations thanks to the phenomenal success of the first game. With the theatre of battle changing to the Eastern Front, Company of Heroes 2 placed a third factor into combat; that being the sub-zero temperatures the combatants had to endure.
Relic Entertainment is continuing its support for Company of Heroes 2 by releasing an expansion pack that contains both single and multiplayer missions. Called Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault it is set during the Battle of the Bulge, where American troops faced a surprise attack from the Germans as they tried to split the allied armies of the British and Americans in two. The attempt failed, but not without significant losses to both sides thanks in part to the hostile winter conditions they fought in.
Chris O'Regan, host of The Sausage Factory podcast chatted to Quinn Duffy, game director at Relic Entertainment, about this new standalone expansion for the much-lauded RTS.
SPOnG: Company of Heroes: Ardennes Assault is concerned with a conflict between American and German troops as they were the only ones involved during that battle. This expansion has three new American companies in it, can you tell us about them?
Quinn Duffy (QD): It's not just new companies; there's a whole system and gameplay built around the three companies. The intent is to provide the player with the options of playing any one of these three different companies in any scenario. It was to give them kind of an impetus to create a form of their own narrative.
To affect the narrative flow of the game; companies are persistent so they can lose health over time and they can gain veterancy over time. So playing intelligently in the game affects the wear and tear on the player's company. This puts a lot of incentive back on the tactical play; keeping your guys alive and being smart about the use of your troops in the gameplay environment and that was a gig focus for us.
But the companies themselves; they are support, airborne and mechanised. They are not specifically about a particular company.
Support is about dropping exploding things on people to blow them up. They also have a lot of close range troops with machine guns, so it changes how people play the game so they blow things up, blast through road blocks and work their way through.
Airborne, much like the Band of Brothers TV show, these are elite infantry, precision infantry tactics, being able to drop paratroopers onto the battlefield. This wasn't what happened in the Battle of the Bulge, they were driven into Bastogne with trucks, but for us there's something fun about being able to use these troops and drop them tactically. Plus munitions and fuel, strafing runs and rocket strikes to hit hard points is also there.
Mechanised is combined arms; infantry working with vehicles and the special abilities centred around the use of those two unit types together. So flanking positions, scouting and using your tanks to hit the hard points.
So they all have a different feel and there's potentially tens of thousands of different upgrade paths which you can select for your company as you play through the campaign. There's a way to take your company and alter it to fit your particular play style.
SPOnG: The troops that arrived in Bastogne were veterans weren't they?
QD: Yes the 101st were pretty experienced and had fought for a few months in Normandy before being withdrawn. Many of them fought in Arnhem, so the guys that made it back out from Eindhoven were all combat veterans.
SPOnG: So how is that reflected in Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault?
QD: Well the airborne guys are elite by their nature, so they're starting that way. But the player can take that further. As I mentioned, the persistent companies can earn veterancy. The more veteran your company is the more veteran troops you can call upon. If you call in some airborne they're going to come in at a higher level of veterancy. There is a chance to get very veteran troops, so it's important to keep those guys alive and thus keep your company veterancy high. So if they get wiped out you lose that veterancy.
SPOnG: You mention Band of Brothers earlier and that show described how troops began to suffer from fatigue and post traumatic combat stress. While such topics are sensitive, you are coming close to that with Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault with this persistence mechanic aren't you?
QD: I think it's about delivering the sort of intense combat and seeing what the player experiences in using their troops. We tried to give the troops a lot of personality, so there's an engagement there and losing troops in a campaign now feels more consequential. You can't just throw guys in; you're losing troops and it hurts more, so we want the player to have that decision making reflected in the consequences in the battle.
SPOnG: This reminds me of a very old game called Cannon Fodder, in which the player had to keep the squad of troops they had from the beginning in order for them to remain powerful.
QD: Yes, you see those mechanics in older turn-based games. The Close Combat series and those type of games, morale was a really critical part of the game. I love to explore that kind of stuff and obviously in games we don't want to take control away from the player, but we do want to give them this feeling that life has value and is not to be wasted.

Podnos také tác je kuchyňská pomůcka určená k pohodlnému přenášení jídel, nápojů i prázdného nádobí.

Konstrukce
Podnos je deska z plechu, plastu nebo dřeva se zvýšeným okrajem. Konstruuje se tak, aby byl lehký, ale pevný. Zvýšený okraj (lem) pomáhá udržet přenášené předměty na podnose a mechanicky vyztužuje celou konstrukci. Tvar podnosu je kulatý, oválný nebo obdélníkový se zaoblenými rohy. Celá konstrukce je důsledně přizpůsobena ručnímu ovládání. Všechny hrany jsou zaoblené s dostatečným poloměrem. Pokud se počítá s přenášením těžších předmětů, může mít podnos ergonomicky tvarované úchyty vytvořené rozšířením okraje nebo přímo držadla.

Využití a práce s podnosem
Podnos se využívá jak v domácnostech, tak v restauračních zařízeních k pohodlnému přenášení (servírování) jídel a nápojů už rozdělených na dávky a umístěných v nádobí (talíře, hrnky, sklenice). Pro roznášení nápojů (pivo, víno ve sklenicích) se používají spíše menší provedení kulatého tvaru. V hromadných stravovacích zařízeních typu školních nebo závodních jídelen a v provozovnách různých řetězců rychlojídelen se používá podnos jiným způsobem. Zákazník si sám naloží nebo dostane od obsluhy celou svoji dávku. To znamená hlavní jídlo, salát nebo ovoce, nápoj a jídelní pomůcky. Od výdejního místa si zákazník odnáší vše sám na podnose. Zákazník také sám odnáší podnos s použitým nádobím do předávacího místa, kde ho přebírá obsluha k umytí, vyčištění a likvidaci případných zbytků. Standardní je nošení podnosu oběma rukama. Kulaté podnosy pro roznášení nápojů se nosí jednou rukou. Druhou rukou se nápoje servírují.

Podnos a reklama
Především pro servírování nápojů v restauračních zařízeních jsou podnosy opatřeny na zvýšeném okraji i na ploše reklamou. Zpravidla jde o logo dodavatele nápojů doplněné reklamním sloganem.
