In Pennsylvania, qualifying individuals can apply for and receive benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program. The Social Security Administration (SSA) receives thousands of claims every year, many of which are denied. Fortunately, those whose claims for Social Security Disability benefits have been denied have the right to reopen those claims and appeal the decisions. If you were recently denied disability benefits, you should contact a Social Security Disability attorney who can walk you through the complex appeals process.
Proving that their injury qualifies as disabling.
That the case raises a broad policy or procedural issue.
The next and final step in the appeals process is to file a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court. These cases are reviewed by a judge who is directed to look only for legal errors.
The first claim was incorrectly denied.
If, on the other hand, the prior claim involved a separate injury or illness, the claimant will most likely be barred from reopening it. Reopening a claim can be crucial to how much an injured party is able to collect, as Social Security generally calculates benefits back to the date of the original application, which makes it especially important that injured parties follow all necessary procedures when attempting to reopen a claim.
The judge's written decision is erroneous on its face.
The decision was blatantly erroneous.
There are also specific rules about who is permitted to reopen a claim. For instance, a claim that was denied by an ALJ can only be reopened by another ALJ or the Appeals Council, while denials from the Disability Determination Services (DDS) can only be reopened by a DDS claims examiner, an ALJ, or the Disability Appeals Council.
If you have recently been denied your Social Security Disability Insurance claim and would like to reopen it, please contact Krasno Krasno & Onwudinjo at (877) 299-0779. You can also reach us by initiating a live chat with a member of our legal team or by sending us a brief online message.

Objective: Phlebolymphedema (chronic venous insufficiency-related lymphedema) is a common and costly condition. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of evidence comparing phlebolymphedema therapeutic interventions. This study sought to examine the medical resource utilization and phlebolymphedema-related cost associated with Flexitouch (FLX; Tactile Medical, Minneapolis, Minn) advanced pneumatic compression devices (APCDs) relative to conservative therapy (CONS) alone, simple pneumatic compression devices (SPCDs), and other APCDs in a representative U.S. population of phlebolymphedema patients. Methods: This was a longitudinal matched case-control analysis of deidentified private insurance claims. The study used administrative claims data from Blue Health Intelligence for the complete years 2012 through 2016. Patients were continuously enrolled for at least 18 months, diagnosed with phlebolymphedema, and received at least one claim for CONS either alone or in addition to pneumatic compression (SPCDs or APCDs). The main outcomes included direct phlebolymphedema- and sequelae-related medical resource utilization and costs. Results: After case matching, the study included 86 patients on CONS (87 on FLX), 34 on SPCDs (23 on FLX), and 69 on other APCDs (67 on FLX). Compared with CONS, FLX was associated with 69% lower per patient per year total phlebolymphedema- and sequelae-related costs net of any pneumatic compression device-related costs ($3839 vs $12,253; P =.001). This was driven by 59% fewer mean annual hospitalizations (0.13 vs 0.32; P <.001) corresponding to 82% lower inpatient costs and 55% lower outpatient hospital costs. FLX was also associated with 52% lower outpatient physical therapy and occupational therapy costs and 56% lower other outpatient-related costs. Compared with SPCDs, FLX was associated with 85% lower total costs ($1153 vs $7449; P =.008) driven by 93% lower inpatient costs ($297 vs $4215; P =.002), 84% lower outpatient hospital costs ($368 vs $2347; P =.020), and 85% lower other outpatient-related costs ($353 vs $2313; P =.023). Compared with APCDs, FLX was associated with 53% lower total costs ($3973 vs $8436; P =.032) because of lower outpatient costs and lower rates of cellulitis (22.4% vs 44.9% of patients; P =.02). Conclusions: This analysis indicates significant benefits attributable to FLX compared with alternative compression therapies that can help reduce the notable economic burden of phlebolymphedema.

Artist Russ Mills creates these astonishing images using a wide variety of traditional methods including painting and drawing with ink and pencil, but also utilizing scanned textures including splotches of paint (or "painting disasters" as he calls them) as well as photography. The resulting paintings are sparse in color but seem to contain explosive amounts of energy as displayed in the rough brushes of paint and the almost perfectly manic pencil strokes. Of his work Mills says: My work dwells in a netherworld between urban fine art and contemporary graphics, a collision of real and digital media it is primarily illustration based with a firm foundation in drawing, I focus mainly on the human form particularly the face, interweaving elements from the animal kingdom often reflecting the absurdity of human nature. You can see many more paintings on Behance and limited edition prints are available in his shop.

Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's pop-infused exploration of mortality, identity, and the supernatural came attached with a built-in ending. The timer on The Wicked + The Divine has been ticking since the Image Comic debuted because that's just how the story goes.
Now, with the final issues in sight, the creators are discussing the series' approaching end, mostly through semi-cryptic tweets with parentheticals noting the end of the comic.

After some digging, it was revealed that there are two more story arcs left in the comic before it ends, with proper soundtracks to accompany:
What did we tell you? Relatively straightforward, but still a solid piece of narrative info for fans anticipating the comic's close with dread, even if the series may be coming to TV.
Following up on McKelvie's tweets in an effort to set the record straight on what lies ahead, Gillen clarified the following:
So it looks like fans have a bit more to hold on to than some would have you believe, but the series will end in 2019 regardless of its creators' resolutions to be efficient artists. That said, the sooner they wrap on that production, the more new projects they'll be freed up to work on — as McKelvie teased with his hints at pursuing a new music video (after creating an absolute banger for Chvrches' "Bury It").

Concrete Canvas® (CC) and CC Hydro™ (CCH) are increasingly being used by utilities in the Power, Water, Gas, Landfill and Hydro-electric industries both for the installation of new works and remediation of existing infrastructure.
WHY USE CC FOR UTILITIES PROJECTS?
CC and CCH are used within the Utilities sector for a range of applications including slope protection on sites with sensitive infrastructure, such as power stations.
CC produces no back spray, debris or rebound, eliminating the need for site closures or costly clean-up operations post-installation.
"It was our first experience of installing Concrete Canvas but we were impressed with the ease and speed of installation, particularly given the challenging conditions on a remote site. In particular, the ability to install in wet weather greatly reduced down time that we would have normally experienced with traditional methods." Mike Rippon - Commercial Manager, Cubby Construction Ltd.

The program includes music by Mozart, Brahms, Lauridsen and Mealor. A highlight will be the premiere of the composition for which the concert is titled: Crossing the Bar by Anthony Bernarducci. The work is a setting of the Tennyson's poem with the same title, which the poet wrote three years before his death and employs the metaphor of a sand bar to describe the barrier between life and death.
Westminster Schola Cantorum is one of three curricular choirs at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, N.J. Composed of all students in their second year of study at the college, this ensemble forms a vital link between the technique and artistry gained by students in their first-year experience at the college in the Westminster Chapel Choir and Westminster Symphonic Choir, which performs with many of the world's finest orchestras and is a cornerstone of the Westminster experience. The ensemble's 2017-2018 season includes two collaborations with Westminster Chapel Choir: performing Brahms's Liebeslieder Waltzes at the War Memorial in Trenton as part of Westminster's Transforming Space project in the fall and a joint concert at Lincoln Center in the winter.
Westminster Schola Cantorum's Grammy-nominated conductor James Jordan is recognized and praised throughout the musical world as one of America's pre-eminent conductors, writers, music psychologists and innovators in choral music. He has been described as a "visionary" by Choral Journal, which cited his book Evoking Sound as a "must read." His more than 40 books explore both the philosophical and spiritual basis of musicianship, as well as aspects of choral rehearsal teaching and learning and are considered to be essential books in the conducting profession. At Westminster Choir College he is professor and senior conductor, and he conducts Westminster Schola Cantorum and the critically acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices. He is also director of the Westminster Conducting Institute and co-director of the Choral Institute at Oxford.

Bilateral investment treaties as a guarantee for investment relations
Артем Мансуров
Abstract: This article examines the legal nature of bilateral investment treaties. It also assesses the efficiency of such agreements as an instrument in international investment relations. The article also enumerates legal grounds for concluding investment contracts in the Republic Uzbekistan and the Russia Federation.
Key words: foreign investments, investment agreements, bilateral agreements, protection of foreign investors' rights
The use of bilateral investment treaties (BIT) to control investment relations aims to reach a range of goals.[1] On the one hand, BIT are intended to attract as many foreign investors as possible granting them a whole set of various guarantees through the application of legal regimes.[2] On the other hand, BIT must help the state preserve its ability to perform its public tasks and functions and protect its own interests. Studying the practice of resolving disputes involving BIT, for example those where Russia acted as the defendant, provides an opportunity to assess the efficiency of Russian BIT in pursuing the aforementioned goals.[3]
Academic literature provides different data as to the amount of BIT in the world[4]. But according to some credible sources some 169 states had signed over 1500 agreements of such sort by 1998[5]. In fact every developed state and over 90 developing states are parties to at least one such agreement[6]. Germany scores best in this respect with over 70 such agreements. It is narrowly followed by Russia with over 50 agreements[7].
One of the essential factors that led to a rapidly growing number of BIT was the strong desire of citizens and companies in an expanding range of developed states to make direct investments in other states and, in connection to this, the emerging necessity in a reliable international legal protection.[8] Foreign investors could never rely solely on the laws of a capital importing state because that would increase investment risks.[9] As it follows from historical experience, developing states are known to have altered their legislation after an investment had been made. In the 60-s and 70-s of the 20th century there were multiple instances of capital importing governments impeding investments or even seizing them.[10]
But the prime reason for making BIT in the 80-s and 90-s of the past century was that developing states were increasingly in need of foreign investment following a decrease in foreign aid from developing states.[11] By concluding BIT with various capital exporting states developing economies and economies in transition initiated a massive attraction of capitals.[12] This tendency is likely to continue in the 21st century.[13]
Therefore, it is possible to infer from the examined material that BIT have proven to be a rather efficient mechanism for foreign investors to protect their interests.[14] All cases in which a claimant was successful in proving his status as a foreign investor and whose deposits were recognized as investments having been lost as a result of the actions on the part of the capital importing state were eventually decided in favor of the claimant (investor).[15] Using the mechanism of BIT-based litigation allows to strip the state of its privileged position as a sovereign public entity which significantly raises the chances of a foreign investor to win an arbitration case.[16] The efficiency of BIT is indirectly verified by the fact that Russia, since the 2000-s, has been very careful about signing and ratifying such agreements.[17] For instance, the BIT with Cyprus has not yet been ratified where most active are the agents seeking to avoid taxation in Russia making Russia reluctant to constrain itself in opposing dishonest participants of investment agreements.[18] There is no denying that this circumstance encourages growing investments from the states that Russia has already signed and ratified a respective BIT with.[19]
However, it would do well to remember that in an overwhelming majority of cases investors failed to receive the amount they had requested in the complaint. In some cases the issued compensation did not even cover the litigation expenses.[20] The amount of compensation paid by Russia in connection to the Yukos case was incommensurate to the dividends already received by the state and those to be received in the future from the assets of such a large oil company. All in all, a far-sighted approach in approving the content of a BIT allows to secure the ability of the state to perform its public tasks and functions granting it the opportunity to protect its own interests including through a considerable limitation of the competence of a corresponding arbitration body while deciding potential disputes and protecting the state from abusive claims of investors.[21] The resolution on the case of Ros Invest CO UK Ltd v. The Russian Federation where the RNB resorted to arbitration to expand its jurisdiction for matters not directly provided for in a clause on dispute settlement between the foreign investor and the importing state in the BIT has not been solidified by a continuous and consistent practice and does not set a disadvantageous precedent for a capital importing state including Russia. However, in order to avoid potential troubles it is recommended, while signing a BIT on granting the most favored nation status, to insert such provisions into the body of the agreement specifying that the given regime is not applicable to procedural matters.[22]
In summary, BIT between states regulating mutual encouragement and protection of investments are directed to ensure international legal protection from primarily non-commercial risks.[23] The establishment of clear, accessible and feasible rules working toward a better investment climate and building confidence between states constitutes a vital booster for foreign investment.[24] In order to attract foreign investments, states are not only required to encourage its companies to invest its financial resources into another state but also pay attention to inviting technology, know-hows, modern management and so on[25].
Studying foreign experience of the legal regulation of investment agreements is relevant due to the fact that it opens prospects for a deep examination of the nature of such agreements and allows to single out aspects that may be used to improve national legislation in this sphere.[26]
One characteristic of the legal regulation of investment agreements in the Republic of Uzbekistan is that it is carried out at the level of bylaws.[27]
Its fundamental source is the Regulation on the procedure for concluding and carrying out investment agreements approved by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 2nd August, 2005, №180 "About additional measures for stimulation of attraction of direct private foreign investments" (hereafter — The Regulation, 2nd,August, 2005).[28]
The legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan regulating investment and the status of investors (the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 30th, April, 1998, "On foreign investment", the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 30th, April, 1998, "About guarantees and measures of protection of the rights of foreign investors", the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan 24th, December, 1998, "On investment") does not contain norms pertaining to the regulation of investment agreements.[29]
Paragraph 1 of Part 1 of The Regulation, 2nd,August, 2005 provides that investment agreements are concluded between the Cabinet of Ministers (the Government) of the Republic of Uzbekistan and a foreign investor if the latter is given guarantees and protective measures (reliefs and preferences) in addition to those established by the legislation.[30]
Therefore, national investors are not eligible to act as a party to an investment agreement in the country under consideration. Foreign investors may enter into such agreements only when they are granted additional reliefs and preferences.[31]
Paragraph 1 of Part 1 of the Regulation, 2nd,August, 2005, also states that this law has been designed in accordance with Article 4 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbeikstan "About guarantees and measures of protection of the rights of foreign investors". As mentioned above, this law does not contain any provisions regulating investment agreements.[32]
The aforementioned article affirms that a foreign investor may be granted additional guarantees and protective measures. It also specifies the requirements and the procedures for claiming them.[33]
Particularly, a foreign entity may be granted this kind of advantages while making an investment in: fields of high priority ensuring sustainable economic growth, progressive structural change in the state economy; high priority projects contributing to the strengthening and expansion of the export potential of the republic, its integration into the global economy; in small and medium-sized businesses processing raw and other materials, producing consumer goods and services, improving employment among the population[34] .
A similar but not identical list of investment directions allowing for the possibility to receive additional advantages by foreign investors is contained in Paragraph 2 of Part 1 of the Regulation 2nd,August, 2005.[35]
As it follows from Paragraph 6 of Part 2 of the Regulation 2nd,August, 2005, additional guarantees and protective measures (reliefs and preferences) may include guarantees from the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan , a special customs, tax and payment regime, state monitoring of project progress, assisting in funding investment projects, incorporation into the investment program or other measures under the legislation.[36]
According to Article 4 of Part 4 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "About guarantees and measures of protection of the rights of foreign investors" additional guarantees and protective measures are granted to foreign investors through special decisions of the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan.[37]
It is worth noting that these benefits may be used either by a foreign investor himself or a legal entity using foreign investments established by that investor[38].
Therefore, considering the legal procedures of Part 1, Paragraph 1 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005 and Article 4 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "About guarantees and measures of protection of the rights of foreign investors" for an investment agreement to be concluded there need to be a special resolution by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan as a prerequisite which will constitute the basis for a foreign investor to receive additional guarantees and protective measures (reliefs and preferences).[39]
It is worth mentioning that under Part 1, Paragraph 6 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005, in case a foreign investor is granted additional benefits he is bound to make a contract which may be interpreted as an exception from the civil law principle of freedom to make contracts.[40]
What is the purpose of making an investment agreement in the Republic of Uzbekistan? The answer is provided in Paragraph 3 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005, which states that an investment agreement is concluded to ensure that the obligations of a foreign investor receiving additional guarantees and protective measures are met.[41]
Paragraph 5 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005 provides that an investment agreement is concluded between the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan represented by the Ministry of foreign economic relations, investments and trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan and a foreign investor (investors).[42] The literal interpretation of this law leads to believe that an investment agreement may have both two (including multiple entities on the investor's side) and three and more investors if several foreign investors are parties to the agreement as independent entities.[43]
Paragraph 1 of Part 7 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005 contains provisions obliging the sides to reach agreement (on essential terms) before the conclusion while Part 2 specifies the provisions that may be incorporated into the agreement.[44]
Specifically, the obligations of an investor include ensuring the due amount of investment, production volume, a guaranteed degree of localization and quality of the product, the exports volume of own-produced goods and services and the payment of credits guaranteed by the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Additionally, paragraph 7 of the Regulation 2nd,August, 2005 contains conditions specifying time constraints imposed on the feasibility study, the conclusion of labor contracts, funding sources, implementation schedule, supervision procedures over the project and the procedure and time limits for the investor to submit reports on the progress in fulfilling his liabilities.
At the same time Paragraph 7 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005 does not mention a possibility which would allow the state to agree on a provision stating its right to waive immunity from prosecution and preliminary injunctions.
Although Paragraph 3 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005 states that an investment agreement in the Republic of Uzbekistan is concluded to ensure that foreign investors who are given additional guarantees and protective measures (reliefs and preferences) fulfill their obligations, Paragraph 7 of the same law requiring that legal responsibilities of the parties be incorporated does not detail the consequences resulting from a failure (or improper fulfillment) to comply with the terms of an agreement by the investor.
In order to conclude an investment agreement a foreign investor is required to file a number of documents to the Ministry of foreign economic relations, investments and trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan. They include:
draft agreement
essential economic data based on a technical and economic assessment (feasibility study)
resolution of the Ministry of Justice providing legal expertise of the draft agreement
resolution of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economy and the State Tax Committee providing tax reliefs and preferences in addition to those already established by the law to foreign investors and (or) an entity under formation using foreign investments[45].
The general rule is that besides filing an application and a draft agreement to a competent body a copy of a document verifying the status of an investor, which can be a legal or natural person, should be provided.
Under the laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan it is possible to request additional information from the investor which may be relevant for making the decision on entering into an agreement.
Under paragraph 10 of the Regulation 2nd, August, 2005, an investment agreement signed by a foreign investor and the Ministry of foreign economic relations, investments and trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan shall be approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

With a desire to care for people, Manjula Raguthu embarked on a career in the health care industry. With more than two decades of experience, Dr. Raguthu serves both as a director and family physician. Her focus is to deliver quality, comprehensive and compassionate health care for the entire family from infancy to the elderly.
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Manjula Raguthu, MD?
Feel a lot better with medical treatment. Thank my Dr. Is great.
Dr. Manjula is very sincerely business like and has been very upfront about my lifestyle changes to improve my health to change my food habits and fewer medications and more supplements which is my kind of doctor. "She is all knuckles and knows how"
How was your experience with Dr. Raguthu?
Check the quality of care at hospitals where Dr. Raguthu treats patients.


@killerbot: Could you try the attached patch?
For Windows I would try to avoid that a boost library is needed. Since this will make things to build on windows much more complex.
On linux, it's much easier, people can just install it from the repository.
If indeed that thread security can be disabled, I will also have a look around for that matter.
Feel free to commit, I would suggest that this gets merged to our RC branch.
Can you try to make a source package and use it to build from it?
The steps are run make dist in your current build folder.
Then unpack the generated package somewhere else and then do ./configure && make && make install (you could probably skip the install).
I do this on my patched environment ?
Yes, use a patched version of the source to generate the tar.gz file and then do not apply the patch.
Did the experiment : all build well.

How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne #BlogTour

How to Love a Duke in Ten Days
These men are dark, bold, and brave. And there is only one woman who can bring them to their knees…
Famed and brilliant, Lady Alexandra Lane has always known how to look out for to herself. But nobody would ever expect that she has darkness in her past—one that she pays a blackmailer to keep buried. Now, with her family nearing bankruptcy, Alexandra strikes upon a solution: Get married to one of the empire's most wealthy eligible bachelors. Even if he does have the reputation of a devil.
LOVE TAKES NO PRISONERS
Piers Gedrick Atherton, the Duke of Redmayne, is seeking revenge and the first step is securing a bride. Winning a lady's hand is not so easy, however, for a man known as the Terror of Torcliff. Then, Alexandra enters his life like a bolt of lightning. When she proposes marriage, Piers knows that, like him, trouble haunts her footsteps. But her gentleness, sharp wit, independent nature, and incredible beauty awakens every fierce desire within him. He will do whatever it takes to keep her safe in his arms.
Whether she's writing about Celtic Druids, Victorian bad boys, or brash Irish FBI Agents, USA Today bestseller Kerrigan Byrne uses her borderline-obsessive passion for history, her extensive Celtic ancestry, and her love of Shakespeare in every book. She lives at the base of the Rocky Mountains with her handsome husband and three lovely teenage girls, but dreams of settling on the Pacific Coast. Her Victorian Rebels novels include The Highwayman and The Highlander.
How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne
Series: Devil You Know, #1
Lady Alexandra Lane's life is irrevocably changed when she is called into Headmaster Maurice de Marchand's office mere days before she was due to graduate from L'Ecole de Chardonne School in Switzerland. De Marchand has found the items Alexandra and her friends Francesca Cavendish, the Countess of Mont Claire and Cecelia Teague pilfered over the years for their Red Rogues Society. When de Marchand's "punishment" turns brutal and he rapes Alexandra, she does what she must to stop the attack and flees. With the help of her friends and a trusted servant Jean-Yves, they bury the body and clean up the scene. That awful night the girls who have been friends for years, share their deepest, darkest secrets and vow to never marry and to protect each other forever…
Ten years later, Lady Alexandra is on her way to Devonshire to help her friend Francesca. She has much on her mind, she has been blackmailed and has faithfully made payments to her blackmailer for years, but now her family's wealth is gone and she is in danger of being exposed as a murderer. If she was the only target of the blackmailer, she wouldn't care, but she cannot let her friend's lives be destroyed for her! She is not sure what she will do, but hopes to come up with a resolution without having to tell anyone. While waiting for Cecelia to pick her up from the train station, Alexandra is almost killed by a spooked horse and meets a man that interests her – for the first time in her life! It isn't until later that she learns the man is none other than Francesca's betrothed.
Piers Atherton, The Duke of Redmayne has against all odds, survived a panther attack, but when his faithless fiancée Rose, believes he is dying she marries his cousin Patrick, Viscount Carlisle within a month of getting the letter Piers sent her when he believed he was dying. Patrick is Piers heir and it will be a cold day in hell before he lets Rose become a duchess, so he revives an old betrothal that his father and the Earl of Mont Claire wrote up and will marry Francesca.
Francesca has secrets and she is also the sole survivor of an attack that killed everyone at her home, she is almost convinced that the former duke was responsible and has agreed to the betrothal to snoop around Castle Redmayne. If she finds evidence, she will enact justice, if she doesn't, she will cry off. She has asked Alexandra and Cecelia to join her to help her find proof. While keeping look out for Francesca, the duke comes looking for her and finds Alexandra, they talk and Alexandra proposes to Piers, she knows Francesca doesn't want to marry him and she doesn't believe his family is responsible for the Mont Claire massacre – Piers is not opposed, but is honorable and tells her to talk to Francesca and decide who will be announced as his bride to be.
They marry the very next day and when Piers discovers she is not a virgin, he is sure he has been duped and refuses to touch her until they are sure she is not pregnant – as much as he wants to cast her aside, he admits that he is bewitched and is not willing to let her go, besides, it seems like someone is trying to kill them…
This was an amazing story, I loved Piers and Alexandra, I felt their pain and gloried in their happiness, I loved that they both had scars and neither judged the other because of them. The mystery of who is the target and why was very well done and while the final confrontation is a tad gruesome, it was perfect and tied up all the loose ends. The story does have some very dark aspects, but it is tempered with moments of laughter and joy, as well as some very steamy love scenes and an absolutely wonderful epilogue. I have to say my only complaint with the book is the incorrect use of some of the titles, but even though that is one of my biggest peeves, even that wasn't enough to affect my rating. This is the first book in a new series, which I am happy to recommend it and I am impatiently waiting for the next installment!!

So this year ends today. Thank you so much for your kind visiting Mei-Shun. She and Mikan-chan would like to share a time with you here next year as well.
Shin came down with a nasty cold this weekend. Since he is working for a food company, year-end is the busiest time; he has to work 7 days a week. Mei-Shun therefore felt happy to see him stay at home, yet unhappy for his condition. So did Mikan-chan.
2015 would be symbolized by sheep, which Mei-Shun has not yet prepared. Actually forgot to – she used to visit a stationery shop to order nengajo (=new-year greeting card) while choosing annual ornament. However, she found nicely designed nengajo at a post office this year. Well, where does our symbol walk around right now?
New Year is coming soon. Let's clean up your room to let your mind feel refreshed. Mei-Shun put her kimonos into winter order; yukatas must take upper position. Hello again, Ms. Biscuit. You would be put on for her first lesson.
So this is Christmas. And this is the 21st wedding anniversary for Shin and Mei-Shun. Look at his real gift. Just beautiful, isn't it?
A cat loaf is now served for you. In sunny mornings, Mikan-chan is very good at finding the best place to warm herself up. After 5 minutes, she makes a turn into … this position.
A hotel in Shinawaga makes a Christmas Tree by green, red and gold lights of windows. Shaky hands created a flame-like image, while a normal shot looks smaller than the real one.


This manifesto about the economic value of nature's services to humans and the Earth is sure to provoke much thought and discussion.
Tony Juniper likes to ask provocative questions about the world we inhabit. A prominent environmentalist, he authored the book How Many Light Bulbs Does It Take to Change a Planet? (Quercus, 2008). His current work, What Has Nature Ever Done for Us? How Money Really Does Grow on Trees, presents an even more intriguing question— and it is likely no one can answer it quite like Juniper.
This wide-ranging study considers such aspects of nature as the essential components of dirt, the importance of light to living things, the enormous impact of both plant and animal pollinators, the precious qualities of water, and the remarkably rich harvest provided by Earth's oceans. What Juniper does, however, is continuously tie nature's "services" back to their economic value.
He also shares unique information that could have a significant impact on the health of humans; for example: "The venom of a Central American bark scorpion is being studied for the role it might play in improving the success of heart bypass operations." It is Juniper's command of remarkable facts and ability to dramatize economic implications that turn what could have been a basic study of nature and the world's environment into extraordinarily interesting reading.
In the end, what Juniper hopes to accomplish with this finely written work is to make the public aware that nature has a "vital economic value" that cannot be taken for granted. The author eloquently answers the question the book's title poses, presenting an impassioned case for humankind to develop a much better relationship with nature. This is a book that deserves the most serious consideration by all readers.


Objectives: This study was conducted to examine whether the Turkish version of the Palliative Care Knowledge Test (PCKT) was a valid and reliable tool. Methods: Methodological study was conducted with 350 nurses, who agreed to participate in the research, The Public Hospitals Association in Sakarya province center, Turkey. In the study of validity and reliability of PCKT, language equivalence, coverage validity, construct validity, Cronbach alpha, Gutman and Spearman Brown reliability coefficients, item analysis and test retest technique were used. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between PCKT general and all sub-dimensions and the applications of Turkish and English forms (p <0.000). The coverage validity index (CI) score was found to be significant at 0.99 ± 0.022 (CI> 0.80). PCKT internal consistency reliability was calculated as Cronbach Alpha value α = 0.91. The reliability coefficients of the items (Equal-length Spearman-Brown) were Sb = 0.83 and (Guttman split-half) G = 0.86. PCKT item-total, item-remaining and item-discriminating properties were found to be statistically significant at p <0,000 and all items in PCKT subscales at p <0.001. Test retest (n = 30) analysis of PCKT revealed a significant positive correlation between the first and second treatments at 3 week interval (p <0.000). Conclusion: Palliative Care Knowledge Test (PCKT) Turkish form is a valid and reliable tool.

NHMC Releases Findings About Negative Media Portrayals of Latinos and Immigrants
This morning in Washington, the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) released the results of a national poll "showing that media portrayals of Latinos and immigrants are fueling rampant negative stereotypes among the general population that are diminishing perceptions of these groups throughout the United States."
The full report can be downloaded here. The poll, which was conducted by Latino Decisions and NHMC was a two-part project that examined "the impact of media narratives and stereotypes of immigrants and Latinos on non-Latino opinions and attitudes towards Latinos and immigrants." The first part was a national survey of 900 non-Latino respondents that contained over 90 questions, while the second part was an online survey that included 3,000 non-Latino respondents "who registered their opinions about Latinos and immigrants after watching video clips, reading articles, or listening to audio clips about them."
Here are some key trends and findings from the report's executive summary:
1. News and entertainment media have a strong influence on non-Latino perceptions about Latinos and immigrants.
2. Most people attribute a mix of both positive and negative stereotypes to Latinos and immigrants.
3. Media portrayals of Latinos and immigrants can diminish or exacerbate stereotypically negative opinions about them.
First-hand knowledge of Latinos is positively related to evaluations. Those with more direct interaction with—or knowledge of—Hispanics hold more positive views of the group and its members. Those holding very negative views are often those with little direct exposure to Hispanic Americans.
"Latino" or "Hispanic" on the one hand, and the issue of illegal immigration on the other, are highly associated. On average, these non-Hispanic respondents estimated that 35.6% of all Latinos were "illegal." Over 17% of respondents believed more than half of all Hispanics are illegal, while another 13.3% estimate exactly half are undocumented. Taken together, over 30% of respondents believed a majority of Hispanics (50% or greater) were undocumented.
Latinos are held in higher regard than unauthorized immigrants but the language matters. Even the use of the term "illegal alien" has measurable effects when compared with undocumented immigrant. While 49% of respondents offer a "cold" rating of undocumented, 58% rate "illegal aliens" coldly.
Stereotypes people believe to be true about immigrants and Latinos reflect the images, characters, and stories they commonly encounter in news, television, film, and radio programming.
Specifically, non-Latinos report seeing Latinos in stereotypically negative or subordinate roles (gardeners, maids, dropouts, and criminals) most often in television and film.
People exposed to negative entertainment or news narratives about Latinos and/or immigrants hold the most unfavorable and hostile views about both groups.
People exposed to positive news or entertainment stories about Latinos and/or immigrants hold the most favorable opinions about both groups.
Negative portrayals of Latinos and immigrants are pervasive in news and entertainment media. Consequently, non-Latinos commonly believe many negative stereotypes about these groups are true.
The impact of media framing on opinions and attitudes varies according to individual factors, especially age and familiarity with Latinos.
Despite the splintering of media outlets across providers and types of media, the network news of the three broadcast English-language news divisions remains the most powerful source of information to the American public, and websites maintained by those same networks also enjoy significant influence.
There are instances where media consumer groups (i.e. FOX, MSNBC) exhibit even more dramatic differences than ideological or partisan distinctions create.
There are consistent differences when evaluating non-Latino opinions by news sources. Conservative radio and Fox News program viewers are less familiar and less favorable toward Latinos and immigrants on nearly every measure included in the survey.
Even those most disposed to positive opinions about Latinos (e.g. younger age cohorts, those more familiar with Latinos, etc.) have less favorable opinions when exposed to negative entertainment or news media narratives.

Zack Snyder, who previously directed Justice League and Dawn of the Dead, is back to helm the ultimate undead flick: He will direct Army of the Dead, Netflix's upcoming zombie thriller that takes place in a post-apocalyptic city.
Snyder will direct and produce the film with his business partner and wife, Deborah Snyder, through their production company Stone Quarry, according to the The Hollywood Reporter. Army of the Dead, which is currently in the pre-production stage, will start shooting this summer.

"I love to honor canon and the works of art, but this is the opportunity to find a purely joyful way to express myself though a genre. It will be the most kick-ass, self-aware — but not in a wink-to-the-camera way — balls-to-the-wall zombie freak show that anyone has ever seen," Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter. "No one's ever let me completely loose [like this]."
Snyder's Army of the Dead focuses on a flesh-eating outbreak in Las Vegas, where a man organizes a squad of mercenaries to travel to the off-limits zombie zone and attempt a major heist. Netflix is going all-in with the movie as well: The streaming service took over the project from Warner Bros., where it was initially set up in 2007, and its budget might reach the $90 million range.
Synder and Netflix didn't disclose additional details on Army of the Dead's release date or cast, so we'll have to wait for more updates on this highly-anticipated zombie movie.

'It Chapter Two' Final Trailer Teases Pennywise's Return at SDCC 2019


Children of the '90s rejoice, because we're all finally getting back one of our nostalgic breakfast cereal favorites.
At Walmart, you can find boxes of mini Pop-Tarts cereal back on grocery store shelves after a long hiatus. First introduced back in 1994, the sugar-laden treats have been gone for a while, but the demand to get crowd-favorite, discontinued cereals back in stores revived this variant.
The Pop-Tarts Cereal comes frosted and with a filling inside each piece based on the flavor you choose. There are currently two you can pick from: Frosted Strawberry and Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon, some of the most classic flavors of the iconic toaster pastry.
It's not exactly the same as enjoying a freshly baked Pop-Tart, but it's still a tasty bite of the past we're down to dig into once again.
