10 Misconceptions About Guys that Are "Naturally" Successful With Women
Good Looking Loser
Misconceptions About "Players"
(updated: August 24th 2014)
One of my biggest beefs with the whole 'Pickup Artist', 'Seduction Community' and mainstream (Men's Journal, Maxim, etc.) is that, either intentionally or subconsciously, they totally exaggerate how "skilled", smooth or confident a guy who is naturally successful with women actually is.
Vulnerable or inexperienced guys are led to believe that they need to become a superhero to be successful with women.
"I'll never get to that level!"
"I have so far to go..."
It's not true at all.
Guys just need to -
look better than 80-90% of other guys
talk to more girls than 80-90% of other guys.
The whole idea of the "Natural" who is good with women is often completely misconstrued as well.
Guys are led to believe that a guy that is "naturally" successful with women innately possess all sorts of exceptional skills and confidence, that he isn't even aware of, but that needs to be analyzed, fully understood, flawlessly practiced and perfectly executive.
I'm defining 'successful' as -
the ability to take an attractive girl home on any given night (lets say - 1 or 2 a week)
sleeping with, or having the ability to sleep with, 2 or more hot fuck buddies
Even if your goals are far beyond that, you probably agree that the above definition is applicable and that the majority of guys don't have this going for them.
Today, and even moreso in my lesser successful days, I've had a lot of friends that were successful with women.
Some of them are featured in my "Sense of Entitlement" discussion and throughout Good Looking Loser.
A few of them have shared their "secrets" when I asked but most of them had nothing new to offer.
Most of them asked me questions, for hours.
A minority weren't interested in sharing their secrets, for fear that there would literally be less girls for them. (serious)
To set the record straight, let me tell you about these guys - who they are and who they aren't.
Misconception #1: They Go Out to Cold Approach Random Girls
A lot of my friends laughed at me (mostly behind my back) when I got really involved in the "pick up thing" back in 2006.
They thought it was stupid and that I didn't "need" it.
I dismissed their criticism as jealously but to a degree - they were right.
The idea of going out on a "sarge" or "mission" to do "sets" with "openers" and "routines" with the sole purpose of "number closing" sounded pathetic to them.
In hindsight, I totally get it - meeting women should be part of an overall lifestyle.
Being a player is SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE, not something you that do and certainly not something that you dress up for on an intermittent basis.
These guys, like myself at certain times in certain cities, have a lot of friends, especially attractive popular girls who are their friends.
These girls simply tell them which girls think they are "hot" and which girls are single and interested.
They also have cool guys as friends who give them leads as well - in return for the same and an understood "non-competition" "bro's before ho's" silent agreement.
(although that is routinely broken)
When they do hit the bars and clubs, they are going with a group they pre-partied with and usually meeting up with a group of girls. They aren't going out alone.
The big group eventually "mingles" with other groups and sexually available girls begin to reveal themselves as they consume more and more alcohol.
The group usually has an afterparty spot and can drink with the group and with the new faces into the early hours of the morning.
They are constantly around drunk girls at a familiar house that has open bedrooms - what more could you ask for?
It's basically as I describe in "Party (Club) Game".
Pre-parties, bars/clubs and after-parties - is where the action is to be had.
When they do approach random girls, there's usually a significant amount of eye contact beforehand and the "social proof" of being part of a group of cool guys and attractive girls.
It usually goes quite well but usually they are looking to sleep with a girl they have been "working on" from their own group.
The most successful guys do some approaching, as part of an overall lifestyle, simply to avoid drama within their circles and have another stream of pussy available to them.
Some guys don't do any significant approaching and always have 1 or 2 girls they are sleeping with - simply because they are constantly tipped off on which girls are sexually-available.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women don't get the bulk of their pussy from cold approach.
Misconception #2: They Are All Good At Approaching Random Girls
Not only are successful guys not setting aside a 8 hour block of time to "sarge" on a "mission" with their "lair" buddies, but a lot of them aren't particularly good at cold approaching random girls.
The best ones are, but I'm speaking about the norm.
Most have what we would call "approach anxiety" and self-medicate with alcohol.
A few smoke a lot of weed - it seems to be a performance enhancer for them, unlike for me.
As part of an overall social lifestyle (leave the house during the day, go out to drink/party 2-3 nights a week), they simply do what I call "Basic Guy Game" or what seduction community dorks call "AFC Game" when the opportunity presents itself (eye contact, approach invite, for example).
They give a girl a compliment or strike up a conversation about something in the immediate area, make small talk and ask her to meet them for a drink. Some even take the girl to dinner.
In bar/club situations, they ask the girl (and her friends) to come to their afterparty.
The girls know they are interested and if they come along - they are interested too.
As mentioned, their approaches seem to go quite well.
This is not because of their "game" (it hardly ever is).
It's because the girls ALREADY like them, hence the eye-contact, smile, etc.
As silly as the whole "pick up thing" seemed to a lot of my friends, I think most of them respected what I was trying to do and acknowledged that the idea of walking around and hitting on random girls for hours freaked them out a little. Nearly every one one of them has told me a story about some hot girl they saw during the day but didn't talk to.
As a side note, one of my friends has slept with over 100 girls - 98% of them (literally ~98 girls) from online dating. (JDate)
Most guys that are naturally successful with women don't actually have super "game". They are sloppy, aggressive but not smooth.
Guys that are naturally successful consider "aggressive" to be - talking to a lot of girls.
Whereas our definition is - touching girls, early and often.
Misconception #3: They Know What "Game" Is
Besides Scotty and one other guy, my most successful friends don't really know what "game" is.
Most think that talking about it in-depth is geek shit.
Most of these guys considered "game" to be -
the ability to make small talk
the ability to make girls laugh
the ability to be smooth
the ability to say the right thing
the ability to make girls like you
Game is Killer Instinct.
They are all familiar with the idea of "manning up" and "pulling the trigger" - so of course the concept isn't entirely foreign to them. Most of them feel that "pulling the trigger" is quite easy, it's the initial part of walking up to the girl that's the hardest part.
All of them "get good" with girls once they know the girl likes them. From there, most of them play to win rather than not to lose - that's why they Get Laid a lot.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women can't really pinpoint "game" or understand female psychology. They just "go for it".
Speaking of Manning [up], here's a random video I did a while back -
Misconception #4: They Have Flashy, Spectacular "Game"
As mentioned, by and large, these guys do "Basic Guy" or "AFC" Game.
Another term for it is -
Some of them have different techniques such as 'winking' at a girl, showing a girl his dance moves or asking the girl to buy them a drink.
They can make small talk and flirt fairly well.
Most of them understand the power of sending "Mixed Messages", whether to a new girl or one they have been seeing for a while.
A few of them simply just lie their asses off and exaggerate what they are doing with their lives.
(Josh says he's an established investment banker - but he has no job whatsoever)
All of them know that alcohol is the quickest way into a girl's pants.
The one thing that impresses my friends is the speed at which Scotty, and sometimes myself, are able to get girls alone or in our car.
For them, however, they don't consider it all that necessary and are plenty satisfied with their own approach to meeting women.
Although most of these guys have slept with more girls than most guys would in seven lifetimes - if they ever did in-field videos, hordes of pick up geeks would say they sucked with women and had no game for their lack of creativity and insistence on "normal" conversation.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women don't have flashy "game". They have a technique or two and good social skills.
Misconception #5: They Never Put Women on a Pedestal
One rule that permeates throughout the seduction community and even mainstream dating is -
NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PUT A WOMAN ON A PEDESTAL.
These guys break this "rule" time and time again.
Not only do to break this rule, but some of them put every single woman on a pedestal.
In fact, in any given night, the ones that do their version of cold approach, basically tell every single girl they are interested in that she is "beautiful" or "gorgeous".
Since they come off as cool guys, often with the help of their crew (other cool guys, attractive girls), a lot of girls are really receptive to their exaggerated compliments and become legitimately jealous when they think they see them telling other girls the exact same thing.
By the end of the night, the interested girls reveal themselves and they'll ask the hottest/best candidate to come to their afterparty.
Truth be told, giving exaggerated [not overly genuine] compliments to multiple women might not be "putting them on a pedestal" since most of my friends don't actually give a shit about these girls.
It's just their version of "game".
But I wanted to dispel the notion that you can't just walk around a room telling girls that they are hot and not have any girls that are interested.
That's the furthest thing from the truth if you have above-average sex appeal.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women sometimes put women on a pedestal.
Misconception #6: They Are Zen Masters, Always In Control of Their Emotions and Feelings
From the birth of the seduction community, "Zen", "Chi", yoga and alike practices have been suggested as absolute necessities to help guys control their emotions, ward off rejection, deal with "shit tests" and hostility from the opposite sex.
It's not that these things are bad - it just doesn't matter that much.
Your "inner game", sense of entitlement and confidence comes from experience and results, not Eastern medicine.
All of these guys are competitive as fuck.
All of these guys can lose control and start yelling at people that piss them off.
All of these guys, at some point or another, get emotionally attached to women.
All of these guys have sent mean/attention-seeking/desperate [looking] texts and Facebook messages to women.
Some are drama queens by my definition and probably yours too.
Most of these guys would be quick to put a girl in her place if she was overly rude to them.
Most of these guys have been kicked out of bars or clubs for escalating fights, some which they probably started in the first place.
All of these guys get laid significantly more than anyone in the "pick up world" that I know, with the exception of Scotty and 2 others.
These guys prioritize BEING A MAN and DO WHAT YOU WANT over any sort of "Zen" state and generally laugh at that sort of approach for attracting women.
It's literally a fucking joke to them. As it should be.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women aren't fully in control of their emotions. Some can be drama queens.
Misconception #7: Guys That Are Successful with Women Have No Social Anxiety
One of the biggest exaggerations is how little social anxiety "normal" successful-with-women guys have.
Just ~3 weeks ago, one of the most successful guys I know, Sean, was freaking out so much when he was New York City that he literally called me to comfort him. (no homo)
He told me that he had to get the fuck out of New York, the buildings were too tall and there were too many people around him.
If you would have heard our phone call (and prior voicemail he sent me) you would think the guy hadn't slept with a woman in years.
Quite the opposite, he had 2 girls dropping by his hotel and fucking him. At the same time.
That example is extreme but the majority of my really successful friends need alcohol to face the crowds and enjoy themselves.
The only difference is - they know what they're doing once they can get one-on-one with a girl that is into them.
That, and - they make nearly every effort to look as good as they possibly can.
They understand that girls are attracted to good looks and that "game" (or "personality") can't really compensate for a lack there of - unless in a relationship.
To be fair, all of these guys have above-average social freedom, as compared to the average guy who doesn't speak to any women and just stares at his feet all day.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women have some social anxiety - more than a lot of pick up students actually.
Misconception #8: Guys That Are Successful with Women Have No Sexual Anxiety
(this is just a guess)
As with social anxiety, most of these guys have some sexual anxiety too. Albeit, probably less than the average guy since they have more experience.
While getting with a "new girl" is exciting, it can be nerve-wracking if she is particularly hot or they are moving faster than usual.
It's not surprising that alcohol does them a world of good.
Sexual anxiety is not a topic that even my close(r) friends were really willing to go in-depth about.
I've seen more than one of them get jealous of their partner's [supposed] sexual past or concerned when a hung guy infiltrated one of their circles.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women have some sexual anxiety, particularly with a new partner.
Misconception #9: Guys That Are Successful with Women Are Always Well-Rounded
Since self-improvement, social status (1/2 of Swag Factor) and being the 'Elite Guy' is significant for getting and retaining girls, especially the hottest ones - it's no wonder that dating advice has taken a turn toward 'personal development' or 'lifestyle' in recent years.
That's all well and good.
The part that isn't so kosher is that it's totally exaggerated how "great" you actually have to be.
Even more exaggerated, whether directly or implied, is how "well-rounded" you have to be.
The majority of successful guys I know are hardly well-rounded if their resumes are put under a microscope.
They all simply LOOK GOOD and TALK TO GIRLS.
They might have a hobby or two that seems impressive, the ones that keep fuck buddies for months are the "Mr. Juxtaposition" guy that I describe.
Not for all of them however.
Some of these guys have very little ambition and simply live paycheck-to-paycheck, with a sizable portion of their money spent on cocaine, cocktails and cab rides.
I'm not saying that this is an example of what you should be, I'm saying that you don't need to be well-rounded.
You just need to -
Talk to Girls
In that order.
Scotty (Brian), is the best guy I know at cold-approaching women. He would admit that he's not particularly well-rounded and that his "identity" hasn't cost him jack shit in terms of getting girls in his bed.
The notion of being a Sophisticated "Renaissance Man" to score pussy is highly overrated and totally time consuming.
Just ask our forum Admin - Mark.
He is the quintessential Renaissance Man, highly educated, well-cultured, well-spoken, tall, handsome and has been to over 20 different countries. He's the best athlete I know too and played Division I College football in the Big10.
It wasn't until he started [using the information which later became] Good Looking Loser that he saw significant success.
Just ask him.
A significant part of premise of becoming "well-rounded" and having several cool, interesting hobbies was somehow to ease the pain of rejection and not put women first.
Why don't you just LOOK GOOD?
It's a lot easier.
My advice is to be ABOVE-AVERAGE, that's all you need.
I discuss this in further detail here-
"If You Improve Your 'Value' - Will You Get Laid More?"
Most guys that are naturally successful with women aren't particularly well-rounded and rarely are "sophisticated", per your definition.
Misconception #10: Guys That Are Successful with Women Are Secure With Their Looks
Not to overly generalize but my friends that are really good with women fall into two categories -
Meathead/Gym Rats
Los Angeles/Orange County Dirtbags
The former look undeniably better than the average guy - if not genetically - then by their style/image.
Since they REALLY value their appearance, it's also one of their biggest insecurities.
Am I bloated from this protein shake?
How does my chin look?
Is this a pimple?
Does this shirt make me look small?
Is my hair falling out?
Are my wrists too thin today?
Do I need a tan?
Should I wear black socks with these jeans?
Despite the day-to-day confidence fluctuations, even on a insecure day, they will still probably have a candidate or two willing to go home with them if they can muster up the courage/momentum to make it around the bar and talk to 10 or 20 girls.
How is this possible?
THEY LOOK GOOD.
THEY TALK TO GIRLS.
The latter group (LA/OC Dirtbags) can get insecure about their looks for the opposite reason -
Many aren't physically active enough.
The ones that are physically active, however, are absolutely killer with women and would rival Scotty and myself in my prime.
Truth be told, despite the day-to-day insecurity spikes, both groups of guys are more secure with their looks than the average guy.
Some, however, not by that much.
Most guys that are naturally successful with women aren't totally secure with their appearance. But they are more secure than the average guy.
So there you have it.
There's other misconceptions about "players" -
They love being single.
They live totally gratifying lives.
They live totally non-gratifying lives.
They are sociopaths.
They are on a conquest mission for self-validation.
They are not on a conquest mission for self-validation.
They have their shit together.
They don't have their shit together.
But by and large, we covered all the misconceptions above.
Most guys that are naturally really successful with women are simply above-average looking guys with above-average social skills, friends and a sense of entitlement (confidence) to them. They also talk to a lot of girls.
It's actually a bit odd to come across a "loner" that has a good sex life.
You might find a guy like this, time from to time, there's plenty of examples of this - Scotty and I are "loners" to some degree.
It's just a bit rare.
I'll tell you though - if you are a loner (with leadership qualities and individual goals) and can get laid, you'll never feel lonely.
In fact, the world is your oyster.
Work hard to get those first one or two fuckbuddies.
By any means necessary.
And Then KEEP approaching girls during this period.
You will truly feel what it is like to not care.
You will truly feel what it is like to have fun socially.
You may even realize - you finally made it.

Really great post chris as usual. I cant wait to check out the new videos. Things have really started taking off for me lately all because of things you, scotty, amir and so many others have taught me on here. I literally fucked 3 different girls in about a 30 hour period a couple days ago which is a first for me. One of those girls was also the first legitamitly hot girl ive ever fucked. Im starting to get hit up by 7's and 8's from online dating and there literally bugging ME about meeting up which is pretty mind blowing to me and exciting. So much of this post is spot on. Im still a really nervous shy guy ( until I start drinking ). I have no job and only about 2 friends who I barely ever see but im starting to get laid a lot and It is true I never feel alone. Having the company of a cute girl who truely only wants to make me happy in every possible way is the best feeling in the world. The coolest thing is im just getting started and my motivation has never been higher. This website has really changed my life man and it almost makes me want to cry sometimes. Once I start REALLY getting good im going to do everything I can to either get guys to come here or pass on my knowledge and help others. Cheers !
Really great stuff. You rip through the 'industry' and you're straight up about what to do..

Talked to a "natural" guy recently and tried to figure out how he got good with women. Basically in his early 20s, he had above average social skills, dress above average, worked out, wore tight shirts when he went to bars, above social freedom (hit on more chicks then his friends). By his mid 20s he had enough sexual experience that he was confident and felt most girls like him. After that, he just go about his daily life, hit on girls at supermarket that gave him eye contact, and never worry about women again. He told me there was no particular source of women, he just meet them everywhere.
Doesn't hurt that he worked at auto shows with a lot of car show girls, being a struggling actor going to a lot of auditions where he meet a lot of girls.
His only advice for me is "Just be yourself, you are a cool guy man, just be open, and the girl you want will show up."
I am doing large cold approaching sessions, because just being myself, hanging out with my average friends, no hot girl is going to show up at my door step.

Great post as always Chris.
On a technical note, posting more doesn't need to bump your first professional video down on the blogroll. Why don't you just add it to the "Stuff We're Talking About This Month" section on the homepage?
Good Looking Loser Damon
yup, thanks for reminding me. I'm gonna do that on monday
Good Looking Loser SmoothOperator
Their advice is so generic (but so correct)
"Be Yourself"
"Be Confident"
"Don't Care What People THink"

Great post Chris! My success with girls stalling really bad because of the first point you made here. I dont have any social circle at all. I know few guys like me who also approach on the street and try to look their best. All the numbers/interactions I get from local girls are 100% flake ( i try to instapull though). I am maxing out my style and look ATM and continually improving it(i.e. going hard on gym). I have got moderate success so far but only with girls who are lonely, from different country/area/culture in another words not part of big social circle. I am confused now which direction I should take my game to..should I just stop approaching local US girls and focus on lone wolfs and lower my standard significantly which I cant? Or start building a social circle? But that seems a mountain amount of work to me and lot of investment to keep it rather I'd like to game. I feel lot of these girls will not date or sleep with me since I am just another stranger she met on the street/grocery shop/park not through their friends. In the past year my look improved a lot. Every day I get at least 2/3 good prolonged eye contact but again it turns to flakes and I guess most of the girls think dating and sleeping with complete stranger from street is bad in the eyes of "society" and they will be labeled as total HOE, but then how online lays happen its completely based on look

This is exactly what i've experienced as well. The only girls who are somewhat approachable are the lonely types (not have many friends) or the tourists, but the normal average beautiful citizen girl with an typical social circle is flaky as shit, not worth it. I don't know about milfs though, i should try them next.

Yeah i agree, from now on i always try to instapull a girl Asap...forget all the numbers, they are literally worthless.

If you wanna get good at this, you have to be a creepy stone age man, you have to be aggressive...touching, screening, being sexual from the get go, this is the only way to play the game successfully and maybe this way, you'll have a little chance with the heavy on social circle girls too.
In life if you wanna become good at something, you can't afford to play it safe cause playing it safe is more dangerous than goin all in.

All true, what pua's sell is a system, a "one way"
What I've found is approaching women, of nearly any age, is once comfort is built you can do pretty much whatever you want to do as a man.

Men build up these sort of misconceptions of women, a sort of aura of "ohh I could never ask her that!" when in reality women enjoy properly calculated boldness and oddly enough, unobtainability
Ask whatever you want of a women but be aware of what they perceive you are insinuating. As long as one knows that, then one gets on the same wavelength from there it is kinda easy to get laid
it's basically just about using your common sense, being confident with what you can do and just being yourself, no one is perfect. players do what players do.
I don't really consider myself as a "player" or someone that is very successful with women. I just do the usual daily routines and sometimes I ended up going home with the girl. Whether it's in a bookstore, coffee shop or restaurant, the trick is...
I don't really consider myself as a "player" or someone that is very successful with women. I just do the usual daily routines and sometimes I ended up going home with the girl. Whether it's in a bookstore, coffee shop or restaurant, the trick is to go to these places at the same time on a regular basis. You can then make friends with the regulars.

great article! This should be one of the top articles in GLL IMO. I think too many guys have always questioned or wondered and asked how some guys are "naturally" good with women while others were not. If those "natural" guys had just come out and said become as good looking as possible, have above average social skills, associate with cool ppl aka become part of the in crowd, and talk to a lot girls than that would have shed a lot of light on some things. I really wish someone had told me this while I was growing up! I would've focused more on my social life that's for sure. I'm sure I'm not the only clueless one! A lot of guys have a distorted view of someone who's good with women like he's able to just approach or talk to any random girl at any given moment. This can't be further from the truth. You see it all the time. The guys that got laid the most in college were above average in terms of looks, had status, and access to a pretty big social circle. They were pre gaming with chicks who would bring their friends to play match maker and see who they were going to hook up with that night.
Sometimes these so called successful guys makes you think as if getting women were rocket science or as complex as learning brain surgery. It's really not. It's just like it says in this article, look good and talk to women.

Although this mentions events in 1914 prior to the outbreak of war, it has a direct impact as to the composition of a county infantry regiment's overseas battalion, and the "nature" of that battalion as at the outbreak of WW1.
Whilst doing some research on "place of birth" and "place of enlistment", I had to access some officer service files at Kew. One of those was a very particular and out of the ordinary case.
Percy Temple Bent has an officer's file at Kew. The first enclosure is a copy of his birth certificate, which documents his birth in Yokohama, Japan. He appears on the 1911 Census at Marlborough College. His file documents the fact that he was in the Officer Training Corps whilst there.
In 1914, he was employed as 'clerk HGC' in Yokohama. He wanted to enlist in the ranks, the nearest unit of the British Army being that in Tientsin. There is some interesting correspondence in the file, whereby permission is granted for him to enlist. (As well as the issue of headcount, there was the question of whether the cost of travel from Yokohama to Tientsin would be chargeable to the public purse, even if he arrived and failed the medical.)
The presence of a man fluent in Japanese would have made Bent a very useful asset later that year in operations in Tsingtao. Upon the 2nd Battalion being returned to the UK, he was commissioned, and was to die on 1 July 1916.
Of particular interest is the following paragraph at the foot of the letter:
As in all probability some 260 men will be going home on discharge this Autumn, is it impossible for the General Officer Commanding himself to give the necessary authority [given that the battalion was 7 men over strength]?
From what I have seen of overseas deployments in prior years, it has been typical to see a battalion in India for about 15 years, albeit redeploying every couple of years. The 2nd Battalion spent only a short amount of time in South Africa, from 15 January 1910 to October 1912, Similarly, their predecessors in China had performed a tour of duty of relatively short duration

2nd Batt Somerset Light Infantry.
On 11th November 1908, the Battalion was sent to Malta on the Hired Transport "Rohilla",
The 17th September 1911, the Regt. set sail on the Hired Transport "Somali", heading for Tientsin and Peking. They arrived on 28th October 1911, stopping at Singapore, Hong Kong and Colombo.
The 2nd.Batt. Somerset Light Infantry arrived in India in 1913 after service in China during the time of the Chinese Revolution (1911-12) protecting British and other foreign residents and interests.
20th October 1913 Set sail on Hired Transport "Soudan" to Quetta India, arriving 23rrd Nov.
The Somersets spent most of the war at Quetta on the Northwest Frontier but they did not keep a War Diary nor are there any Muster rolls etc in existence. They remained in India until 1926.
Percy Temple Bent was the only man of the 2nd Battalion to have enlisted in 1914 as of the outbreak of war. Merely 6 men in the battalion at the outbreak of war had enlisted in 1913. (This is published on the thread: Army Number Sequences: Please Mind the Gap.)
There is a surviving service file for 10886 Frederick Ernest Mayston, who was serving with the 1st Battalion SWB in Bordon. His service record documents him being 'Examined [at Rushmoor Camp] for service in Singapore and found fit 24 July 1914'. I have found it odd that this cryptic note implies being sent on overseas service, albeit not to China with the rest of the battalion.
Given that the SLI spent 2 years only in China, it makes me wonder when the 2nd Battalion SWB were scheduled to redeploy from China.
My question is thus:
For the more remote outposts, would there only be one draft sent out during the trooping season?
As for Bent being the only 1914 enlistment in the battalion as at August 1914, this can be explained thus:

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting you correctly and therefore I'm unsure if this will help. The overseas postings of infantry battalions to garrison India were intended to be long term affairs, just as you've mentioned. Most battalions occupied two, or more stations (often a wing at each, if two) and rotated companies in order to familiarise the battalion as a whole, but also to keep the men interested and not overly settled. When battalion locations were published annually in the U.K. the principal station (where the battalion HQ and at least a wing was located) was mentioned, but not the outstations.
Conversely postings to China were more like defined operational tours with a specified intent aligned with HMG's and, concomitantly, British-India's foreign policy. Following the 2nd Boer War the same thing occurred in South Africa and was intended to keep a watchful eye on the Boers and SA politics. They were in essence aid to the civil powers. As such these latter tours were by comparison with India short, with battalions on a roulement cycle for as long as a presence there was required. I hope that is of help. My apologies if it's not what you were looking for.
In short, India was so large a garrison commitment that it had a status and infrastructure akin to 'Home' (in logistical terms it was far more because of the sheer scale of the sub-continent). The others were mere operational stations by comparison, with far less demanding a commitment (by the Army as a whole) to contend with.

I was a bit perplexed when I saw the letter on the file, and it made the reference to '260 men.. going home this autumn' which I had read as one way traffic. SimilarIy, it was only when I saw these details that I discovered why and how he was the only 1914 enlistee with the battalion - his local enlistment was prior to commencement of the subsequent trooping season. This later led me to wonder whether only the one draft would be sent out, or whether more would take place.
Looking at the intake breakout of time-serving men in 1914, there were going to be a sizable amount of the 2nd Battalion that would be heading back from China to Great Britain, given they had enlisted in 1907 and 1908 on 7 & 5 as well as those finishing 9 & 3 colour service.
(Intake data derived from the service numbers of the men on the Tsingtao Roll, compiled by Dixon & Everett, in Dixon's book on Tsingtao.)
Looking back at some old correspondence, I did note that when the 1st Battalion of the regiment was in India, they had three drafts apiece in 1908 and 1909.
From 1908 the 1st Battalion in India received the following drafts (no list of names survives):
'9 January 1908 - 37 NCOs and men joined from 2nd Battalion
11 March 1908 - 49 NCOs and men joined from 2nd Battalion
11 October 1908 - A draft of 80 privates arrived from the Home (2nd?) Battalion
11 January 1909 - 120 NCOs and men joined from the Home Battalion
1 April 1909 - A draft of one Colour Sergeant and 3 boys joined from the Home Battalion
24 December 1909 - A draft of 1 Sergeant, 2 Corporals, and 150 Privates joined from 2nd Battalion - transport Dongola.'
Former curator of RRW museum at Brecon
Being aware of these drafts did make me wonder if there was just one draft that would be sent out, or whether it would still be the same setup of, say, three or so drafts during that trooping season. Although the distribution of men is towards those of longer duration, if their time is nearly up, they still need to be taken back to be discharged to the Army Reserve.
The initial impression I had registered psychologically is that no drafts were coming any time soon, which is true at that time - it being the tail end of the trooping season, and the battalion being slightly over strength - but there is nothing to suggest there would not be drafts come the start of the next trooping season, had it not been for the outbreak of war.
Trooping logistics aside, you make a very interesting and pertinent point about the role of those garrisoned in China to be present as an aid to the civil powers, in contrast to being a small part of the larger force when in India. Thank you for your reply.
I'm glad it was of some small use Keith. You'll forgive me if I don't get into the precise statistics but the only observation I'd make is that there wasn't a uniform number of men in drafts of replacements, and the number reaching the end of their contracts changed throughout the year.
The battalion orderly room via the combined efforts of the Adjutant, Paymaster and their staff would be periodically reviewing the turnover and wastage, keeping the Colonel informed and maintaining a link with RHQ and depot, plus the home service battalion (who provided the replacement drafts) in order to coordinate with the trooping season. It was an ever moving feast and one year would differ from another to varying degrees. In effect it was a supply and demand mechanism.
There were also establishment changes to factor in, although these occurred less frequently than during Victoria's reign and tended to peak and trough before, during and after major conflict. In the case of 2nd SWB I can only imagine that it was feeling the effect of large numbers of men reaching the end of their engagements because they had all enlisted during one of these surges (perhaps in the years after the 2nd Anglo/Boer War, as there had been significant reductions subsequently when a lot of men left and had to be replaced).
In such a circumstance when a large number concluded their service at the same time, then preparation was made via the chain of stakeholders that I mentioned to replace them with a similarly large draft. This was sometimes handled by asking for volunteer transferrees from other regiments about to leave India, which was a longstanding and popular means of adjusting the balances and bolstering numbers.

A slight deviation, based upon an interesting item that had not been weeded from a British Army service record for a man who deserted for a fourth time rather than go overseas. (During his first ten years on the run, he enlisted in the Royal Marine Light Infantry, but was discharged after 5 years as S.N.L.R.) He appears to have gone to sea in 1913, and to have spent the war in the Mercantile Marine, based upon his family tree details. (The soldier is Frank Beasley Frost 1875-1939.)
One other soldier who did go out with the draft, and did not come back, is 8436 Sergeant William Miller, killed in action on 7 November 1914.
It is the first time I have seen paperwork in relation to a draft being sent out, for overseas service.
A deviation from the original post, but a further interesting image, in relation to overseas service, from the same service record.
Interesting to see the following listing of kit for this overseas deserter, 'deficient of the following articles'

When asked, I used to go on these long diatribes about speaking to your audience, the benefits of search engine optimization (SEO), and eventually landing on "It's just what the teens are doing, man." I've realized recently I was completely off.
The reason that question sounds so strange is because we can't fathom a world where Google doesn't permeate every facet of our day. Google transformed from a simple search engine into how we communicate, keep our schedules and even find events to fill said schedules.
That being said, Facebook isn't trying to become the next Google, because they can't. That'd be like trying to replace oil as the dominant fossil fuel on the planet, and we know how well that's going. So rather than reinventing the wheel, Facebook is attempting to show users another — dare we say better — way to stay informed, connected and socially active on a platform they already know and love. And here's how they're doing it.
Facebook is tired of being the middleman for news. That's why they've recently unveiled new stories from The New York Times and BuzzFeed that will live completely inside Facebook – more like a status update than a link. So when a user clicks on one of these stories, they'll remain inside the live, interactive post rather than be pushed to a page outside the app. They can even contain audio, video and other interactive elements. This means more news, faster and in a more engaging format, all while being a simple swipe away from your friend's constant baby updates.
The Internet has been an amazing tool for tracking your online purchases. And by amazing, I mean horrid and agonizing and downright illogical. Seriously, why are you sending it to Horsham?! Or North Jersey! I live nowhere near either of those places! Stop taking the turnpike!
Soon, you'll be able to voice this frustration with e-commerce companies directly through Facebook's standalone Messenger app. Track packages, field customer services questions and even send them your favorite hate GIFs, all from the same app. It probably won't help your packages arrive on time, but you'll feel a little better about it.
If it's not already, Facebook wants to become the center of your and your friends' universe. That's why they've recently made it possible to embed any video you upload to Facebook. Not really cutting edge, I know. But if it's easier than sending you a YouTube link, it's a game changer.
As if we needed another reason to never read the comments on stories we read online, now they'll automatically appear under the story when it's posted to Facebook. This was mostly done to help publishers who saw their engagement fragmented across a variety of platforms. But I think this falls under Facebook's new mantra of bringing more content onto their platform, and keeping users there longer.
You knew it had to happen eventually: Facebook is getting into the Internet of Things. It's not clear yet how Facebook will integrate with IoT devices, but it's clear they definitely want to start experimenting. Does this mean Dad commenting on you changing the NEST temperature in the house? Or maybe getting the chance to "Like" a post from your car about improved gas mileage this week? We don't know what this will look yet, but we'll be sure to update you when we do.
So for the average Facebook user this means, ideally, a seamless, interactive social network filled with relevant local and world news alongside updates from close friends and family. Deep down that's what every social network wants to be when they grow up, and it's all aimed at holding more of our ever-waning attention spans.
This war started the moment there were two different newspapers to read, or two different radio signals to pick up, and it's been raging battles on every medium in between. While Google's been the historical winner, the tide seems to be turning in Facebook's favor. With a robust advertising platform, gargantuan user base and impressive suite of mobile apps, Facebook is poised to remain the dominant social network if their vision for the future holds.


A photo taken of me at one year. It's a favorite, I think mostly because it makes me laugh. Notice my left leg tucked under the dress, creating the illusion that I am missing both an arm and a leg on that side. I'd like to think this was an early sign of a career in comedy.
I did usually keep one leg pulled back, using the other leg to pull myself along the floor instead of crawling. At least I had some diaper padding to scoot on; well, a cloth diaper...my parents were hippies.
But just look at those eyes and tell me there wasn't some mischief afoot. It's like she knows, one day, Joey will bite her arm.

Mischief in those eyes and anarchy in those curls. Too cute!

Chewbacca to Feature in 'Han Solo' 'Star Wars' Spinoff Film
by Meagan Damore
– on Mar 08, 2016
During the Deutsche Bank 2016 Media, Internet & Telecom Conference, Disney chief Bob Iger confirmed Chewbacca would appear in the as-yet-untitled "Han Solo" anthology film.
"We have other [films] in the works, including one, which is an origin story about Han Solo and Chewy," he said. "And that'll come after 'Star Wars 8' in 2018. And then there'll possibly be more thereafter."
While many fans assumed Chewie would factor into Han Solo's solo film, this is the first confirmation that Han's right-hand wookie would appear. The film is currently seeking to cast its lead. Miles Teller, Dave Franco, Logan Lerman and Ansel Elgort are said to be among the names on Lucasfilm's shortlist. Variety previously suggested that whoever is cast in the role could make an appearance in December's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," which is set just before the event of "A New Hope."
Written by Lawrence Kasdan and Jon Kasdan, the untitled "Han Solo" movie is scheduled to open May 25, 2018.

(Deb) Welcome back folks. Well the other night, we were walking, Dr. Jake and I went out walking because it had cooled down to what, 80 degrees or something, after the sun went down and the breeze was really nice and it was the night of the blue moon, the second full moon of the month in July. It was just beautiful. It was like you've got the whole world to yourself, the fields stretching out in every direction. Then this horrible screeching started. He had pointed out a few days before that there were a couple of owls, like out by the barnyard, he points those out, and we're a little bit concerned about that because we've got all these barn cats and we need all these barn cats because they keep away the rattlesnakes. No joke. So, we got a new crop of kittens, if you need a kitten you can see it, and so we're kind of noticing the owls, Frank I felt like I was in the middle of a Harry Potter movie with this screeching going on all around us. (Frank) Owls are fascinating, fascinating birds. (Deb): They are fascinating birds, they really are. When they talk about their silent flight, that's absolutely true. No sound at all when they're flying, and then you hear screams, and you probably hear the blood curdling scream of what's being grabbed by the owls and everything, but man they were everywhere. They were on both sides of the country road there; they were just all over the place. (Frank) I have an idea. Do a story on owls. (Deb) I just happen to have one right here. Barn owls are the most widely distributed of any of the owl species, as evidenced by the numerous screeches in the night and the poop in the sheds. Apparently, it lives everywhere but Antarctica. According to the Great Plains Nature Center in Wichita, one of the qualities that makes the barn owl such an efficient hunter is its hearing. Although the barn owl has excellent night vision, its ears may be even more important for catching food. Experiments have shown that prey can be located and captured by sound alone. What amazing creatures! Like many nocturnal animals, barn owls often live in the midst of people without their even knowing. They like to roost high and away in old buildings, sometimes choosing the proverbial hollow tree. Females usually lay at least four eggs, but might have as many as a dozen. Hatching is staggered, so that a nest might have young birds along with those still waiting to break through their eggs. This could help explain why this owl is so prolific. Seemingly every creature that roams the prairies at night feasts on field mice, kangaroo rats, and other rodents. The barn owl is no different. It occasionally varies its diet with insects, lizards, frogs, crayfish, and yes, even snakes. The other owls that live in Kansas are eastern screech owls, the short and long-eared owls, barred owls, burrowing owls, snowy owls, northern saw-whet owls, and Great Horned Owls. Take a walk at night and listen. Chances are, there is an owl listening to you as well.

Grass tetany (hypomagnesaemic tetany) in first cross ewes with lambs at foot
Bruce Watt, Central Tablelands Local Land Services, Bathurst, NSW, David Paynter, Regional Laboratory Services, Benalla, Victoria and Patrick Staples, Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute, Menangle, NSW
First published in 'Skirting the Issues' the official newsletter of the Australian Sheep, Camelid and Goat Veterinarians, Winter 2021 edition (Issue 12)
Posted Flock & Herd December 2021
Hypomagnesaemia (grass tetany or grass staggers) is the most common killer of mature lactating cows on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, especially so in the autumn and winter of 2021, but it is surprisingly rare in lactating ewes. Hypomagnesaemic tetany has been reported in lactating ewes grazing grass-based pastures in Southern NSW, Victoria, New Zealand and the United Kingdom (Sykes AR 2007, Whittaker and Pitman 2012, Constable et al., 2017, West et al., 2017), but this is the first case the first author has diagnosed in sheep.
In early cases, the other two important metabolic diseases of pregnant and lactating ewes, hypocalcaemia and ketosis (pregnancy toxaemia) can be differentiated from hypomagnesaemic tetany with a clinical examination and biochemistry. Hypocalcaemic ewes collapse into sternal recumbency but are initially bright, alert and responsive. Ketotic ewes initially remain standing but are dull, only partially responsive and may appear blind. Ewes with hypomagnesaemic tetany collapse in convulsions in lateral recumbency and die soon after. Pregnancy toxaemia occurs before lambing while hypocalcaemia can occur both pre and post lambing. In contrast, hypomagnesaemic tetany is usually seen in lactating ewes. While the presentation of hypomagnesaemic tetany is acute, ewes with ketosis or hypocalcaemia collapse and become comatose before death hours to days later. Ewes with clinical hypocalcaemia have serum calcium concentrations less than 1.2-1.4 mmol/L. Ewes with primary ketosis have beta-hydroxy butyrate concentrations greater than 2.5-4 mmol/L. Ewes with hypomagnesaemic tetany have serum magnesium levels less than 0.4mmol/L.
Terminal ewes usually present as dull and recumbent and may be either primarily or secondarily hypomagnesaemic, hypocalcaemic and/or ketotic .
On 6 July 2021, the owner of 310 aged lambing first cross ewes running in two mobs, concerned that the pasture was insufficient, mustered and moved one mob of 140 to an adjoining paddock. The ewes, joined to Poll Dorset rams, had been lambing for a month. Shortly after movement to the new paddock the owner observed two ewes that collapsed in lateral recumbency, shaking and convulsing, with opisthotonos and salivation. Both ewes died within 10-15 minutes of the onset of these signs. The owner estimated that over a period of one month he lost 25 ewes in total. He speculated that at least some of these additional deaths occurred under similar circumstances.
The pastures were short and green and dominated by annual grass species such as silver grass (Vulpia bromoides) and barley grass (Hordeum leporinum) with less than 10% subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum). The ewes were supplemented with approximately 3 kg of light grain oats and 3 kg of oaten hay per head per week. They also had access to blocks (Furneys Ewe and Lamb + 30% Lupins, containing 30-40% salt, 8% calcium and 1% magnesium).
NECROPSY FINDINGS
Two ewes were necropsied on 6 July 2021, within 2-3 hours of death. Both ewes were aged with either a broken mouth or small spread incisors. Both were in body condition score 2 with normal lactating udders. No other gross abnormalities were noted. Aqueous humour samples were collected from both ewes.

Aqueous humour samples collected from both ewes showed significantly lowered magnesium, lowered calcium, and minor elevation in beta-hydroxybutyrate.
Hypomagnesaemia in sheep is rarely identified in ovine submissions to Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute. Approximately 12,200 diagnostic ovine submissions were submitted to the laboratory between July 2006 and July 2021. The magnesium serum and aqueous humour reference ranges employed during this period at Regional Laboratory Services, Benalla, were 0.74-1.44 mmol/L for serum and 0.48-1.50 mmol/L for aqueous humour (changed to 0.65-1.55 mmol/L in 2017). Of these 12,200 submissions only 16 cases included sheep with serum magnesium concentrations of less than 0.50 mmol/L, and only 7 cases included sheep with aqueous humour magnesium concentrations of less than 0.48 mmol/L.
As noted by Herd and Peebles (1962), ewes may be hypomagnesaemic, but it is often a stressor, such as mustering or even dogs that triggers hypomagnesaemic tetany. If our case definition of grass tetany or hypomagnesaemic tetany is that it occurs in lactating, hypomagnesaemic ewes and is characterised by a sudden onset of excitability, convulsions and death soon after, then only 8 of the 23 cases meet these criteria over this 15-year period.
Of the 23 cases with hypomagnesaemia identified above, six do not meet the criteria of hypomagnesaemic tetany because other diseases including polioencephalomalacia, pyrrolidine alkaloid poisoning, haemonchosis, malnutrition, primary hypocalcaemia, ketosis and listeriosis were the primary problem. Of the three cases that occurred in young sheep (lambs or hoggets), one was consistent with transit tetany, one was associated with urea poisoning and another with hypocalcaemia.
It has been suggested that concurrent hypocalcaemia may contribute to, or be the dominant factor in, hypomagnesaemic tetany (Constable et al., 2017). West et al., (2017) reported that the New Zealand experience was that hypomagnesaemia can occur without hypocalcaemia. In this case both ewes sampled had mildly to moderately low aqueous humour calcium levels.
In live animals, blood analysis can be used confirm hypomagnesaemia. Most commonly, the presentation is of an acute death. post-mortem, magnesium in blood shows rapid increases in concentration as intracellular leakage contributes to the extracellular pool. In contrast, eye fluid concentrations do not show these rapid post-mortem changes and are the preferred sample for diagnosis.
While both calcium and magnesium levels are more stable in the aqueous humor than in the blood, they do rise after death making interpretation more difficult in the more mature carcase especially if the time of death is not known. Other metabolites such as ammonia, potassium and phosphate also rise with time post-mortem and in specific cases may be used as an indicator of the post-mortem time interval prior to sampling the eye fluid.
In this case, potassium, ammonia and phosphate concentrations are consistent with samples obtained within three hours of death on a cold Central Tablelands morning. The very low concentrations of magnesium observed are consistent with a diagnosis of primary hypomagnesaemia as the cause of death of these ewes.

Labor Day is Monday, so maybe it's appropriate that my guest for episode #228 of the podcast is Zeynep Ton, an Adjunct Associate Professor of Operations Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management. You may have recently seen her being interviewed by Fareed Zakaria on CNN. Read her full bio here.
She is author of the 2014 book The Good Jobs Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits .
I saw Ton give a lecture at an MIT alumni event back in June and immediately bought and read the book (read my blog post about the book and parallels to Lean and healthcare). I highly recommend it and I wish more hospitals and health systems would pursue this "good jobs strategy" instead of being so focused on cutting labor costs. As Ton explains in the book and our discussion, this strategy is not about being kind or nice — it's just good business that drives better long-term results for all.
How she transitioned from industrial engineering and supply chain management to studying retail companies.
In the vicious cycle of the "bad jobs strategy, " why is this considered conventional wisdom that the way to maximize profits in a low-margin industry is to offer minimal pay, training, and hours?
What connections do you draw between the good jobs strategy and Toyota or Lean?
Do the companies or founders that have a good jobs strategy sort of naturally embrace it?
Of the "good jobs" components, is it most difficult to help people see that 100% utilization is often very harmful and that "slack" is necessary?
Is it easier for privately held companies to pursue the good jobs strategy having less quarterly financial pressure?
Any thoughts on why society focuses so much on wages, while seemingly ignoring other aspects of workplace conditions that need to be improved?
For a link to this episode, refer people to www.leanblog.org/228.
Here is another podcast with Prof. Ton via MIT Sloan.
At about 18:00 in, she talks about apply The Good Jobs Strategy within a call center at Quest Diagnostics, a big laboratory testing company – a departure from retail. They had great results and intend on spreading this to other parts of the company. Quest has supposedly used Lean for a long time, so I hope that's all a helpful combination.
Jamie Bonini, of Toyota, is on their board of advisors.

Warm Water Russians
John L. Harper, reply by Malise Ruthven
May 9, 2013 Issue
Will Geography Decide Our Destiny? from the February 21, 2013 issue
In her review of Robert Kaplan's The Revenge of Geography [NYR, February 21] Malise Ruthven quotes the book on the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan:
This, of course, was the dream of the Soviet Union, to advance to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean through the invasion of Afghanistan and the attempted destabilization of Pakistan in the 1980s, and thus combine sea power and land power.
Ruthven should have pointed out that Kaplan's interpretation is a fantasy based on Halford Mackinder's specious geographic determinism. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is one of the best-documented episodes of the cold war. It arose not from a primordial drive to the Indian Ocean or Persian Gulf but Moscow's near panic at the prospect of losing control of Afghanistan to Islamic rebels or a government that might ally itself with the United States.
John L. Harper
Professor of American Foreign Policy
The Bologna Center of the Johns Hopkins University
Malise Ruthven replies:
In questioning my endorsement of Halford Mackinder's geopolitical approach to Eurasian history, as explained by Robert Kaplan in The Revenge of Geography, Professor Harper not only mistakes my gender (an easy, though careless, error); but much more seriously, he omits to mention that Russia's engagement with Afghanistan long preceded the 1979 Soviet invasion. From early in the nineteenth century, British anxieties about Russian advances in Central Asia, including Afghanistan, are well documented, as are Russian concerns about British designs on Kabul. Indeed it was fear of Russian involvement with the Afghan leader Dost Mohammed and the possible threat this posed to the British Raj that led to the disastrous first Afghan War (1839–1842) when the British lost an army of 4,500, along with some 12,000 camp followers, to the Ghilzai forebears of the Taliban. When in 1884 Tsar Alexander III annexed Merv (now in Turkmenistan, and only four hundred kilometers from the Afghan city of Herat), British "hawks" were warning that "Cossacks would soon be watering their horses on the banks of the Indus."
While these fears may have been exaggerated given the formidable difficulties of the terrain, Russia's perennial drive through Inner Asia toward the Indian Ocean "rimland" amply explains the geopolitical logic underpinning Brezhnev's disastrous invasion in 1979. For two centuries Afghanistan was part of a tsarist-cum-Soviet push toward the Indian Ocean. The moves and countermoves involved in this process were famously encapsulated in the "Great Game" that features in Rudyard Kipling's Kim (a game that continues today, with a diversity of players that include India and Pakistan, Iran, China, and Russia with its Inner Asian surrogates).
As for Professor Harper's airy dismissal of Mackinder's "specious geographic determinism," it is worth recalling that a principal theme of Mackinder's Democratic Ideals and Reality: A Study in the Politics of Reconstruction (1919) is that human agency can overcome the dictates of geography once these have been taken into account.

21st Century Cures Act: Impact on Health Reimbursement Arrangements for Small Employers - Harding, Shymanski & Company, P.S.C.
President Obama recently signed the 21st Century Cures Act into law. The new law allows qualified small employers to offer health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) without facing penalties for non-compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Prior to the enactment of this law, an employer could only offer an HRA if they also offered coverage under a group health plan and met requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
In an HRA, an employer is able to reimburse health insurance premiums and certain other qualified medical expenses on a pre-tax basis for eligible employees. In circumstances where an employee is not covered under minimum essential health coverage, their reimbursements are considered taxable and included in gross income.
In order to qualify under the new law, an employer must be considered a small employer with less than 50 full-time employees1. Additionally, the small employer must not offer a group health plan to any of its employees.
All eligible employees, typically those considered full-time, must be eligible for the same terms of the plan. An employer may exclude certain part-time or seasonal employees as well as those under age 25 or with fewer than 90 days of employment.
In order to be considered a qualified reimbursement arrangement, the funding must be provided solely by the employer with no salary reduction from the employee. Additionally, the funds should be paid or reimbursed after the employee has provided proof of coverage for eligible medical expenses of the employee or employee's family members.
The new law places a maximum annual reimbursement limit of $4,950 (or $10,000 in instances where the arrangement provides for reimbursements for employee's family members)2. These limits are pro-rated if the employee is not covered under the employer HRA for the entire year.
Employees who apply for advance premium credits will need to report the reimbursements to the Marketplace. The employee's premium credit will then be reduced for reimbursements received by the employer. As a result, the employee could be responsible for the same level of premiums as they were prior to receiving reimbursements.
These changes are effective for plan years beginning after December 31, 2016. Plan years beginning on or before December 31, 2016 may seek transition relief under prior guidance. Employers should provide written notice to each eligible employee detailing the plan limits and certain reporting requirements prior to plan implementation.
ABC Company owns a bakery with 25 full-time employees and does not offer a health insurance plan. Beginning January 1, 2017, ABC Company implements an HRA and offers the arrangement to all eligible employees. ABC Company reimburses each eligible employee up to $4,950 of qualified expenses with no reduction of the employee's wages. As a result of the 21st Century Cures Act, ABC Company is exempt from the $100 per day penalty for non-compliance with the ACA rules.
If you have questions, please contact Michele Graham, CPA, Matt Folz, CPA or Mike Vogel, CPA at 800.880.7800.
1Large employers must continue to comply with the ACA requirements when offering HRAs to their employees to avoid penalties of $100 per day per employee for non-compliance.
2The annual limits are scheduled to be adjusted for inflation beginning in years after 2016.


There is no better way to stay healthy in the summer than to exercise and eat right, and whether you're the type of person who enjoys to get out in the fresh air of the countryside or prefer to spend your time in the city streets and parks, there are plenty of things you can do to keep yourself in good physical and mental shape. For those trying to perfect their beach body or just looking to feel better, here are a few things you can do to make this summer your healthiest one yet.
One of the things that make summer great is that there are more healthy foods available than at any other time of the year—from fresh fruit to vegetables and berries. While the heat can certainly play tricks on your appetite, why not brush up on a few summer salads that will taste delicious and keep you cool. Some great summer classics include Greek salad, salad Nicoise, and for something a little heartier there's sweet potato salad.
Even if you're not one for serious exercise, just getting out and walking to your destination as opposed to taking the car can do a lot for both your health and the environment. Remember, however, that if the weather is too hot it is best to stay cool and bring plenty of water with you to avoid any problems with heat stroke.
If you enjoy going for walks, why not try kicking-it-up a notch and going for a run in the park, if you're worried about the heat or live in the city, consider joining a gym where there are plenty of treadmills that will allow you to get a sweat in without having to fight your way through crowds. Or if you'd rather exercise in the privacy of your own home check out retailers like Tesco for deals on treadmills. If you're worried about the consequences that running can have on your joints, or want to travel longer distances to explore more territory, try cycling, which is a great way to exercise and to travel through some fantastic scenery.
Summer holidays may seem like an obvious choice for most, but there are plenty of people who still push their way through the sunny months without taking days off to stop and enjoy the weather. Even taking a long weekend to get out of town and let your mind escape the stresses of day-to-day life will be an important step towards healthier living.
Many people who have a difficult time exercising tend to find that swimming is a great way to get in some cardiovascular work, and on top of this, come the summer it is the perfect way to cool down. Local pools tend to have different types of activities available, from aerobics classes to your basic open pool lap-sessions.
However, you decide to utilize your leisure time this summer, keep in mind that come winter you will be glad to have gotten outside and soaked up all the sun and exercise you could while the weather lasted.
Disclaimer: This is a sponsored guest post. A great article runs simplicity ~ share that feeling for the world.
I do try to make healthy eating choices. In the summer I do like more salads and fruits also. I try to take more walks too.


Cape Town based MasterFibre, leaders in the manufacture and installation of recycled rubber fibre matting and moulded products made from recycled tyres, and PFE International have announced a strategic joint venture that will see the two entities combine their manufacturing, marketing and distribution facilities nationally.
Speaking after the signing of a deal that will create MasterFibre South Africa, PFE International CEO, Dr Mehran Zarrebini, explained that all manufacturing of moulded products would now take place at Van Dyck's factory in Prospecton, Durban.
The Cape Town operation will be responsible for smaller, customized products only.
Raw materials will be supplied by South Africa's largest truck tyre recycler, Mathe Group. This Hammarsdale operation is part of the multinational group PFE International of which Van Dyck Floors is part.
In addition to offering benefits associated with vertical integration, this will increase manufacturing capacity 10 fold whilst- freeing MasterFibre managing director, Aldo Steyn, and his team up to do what they do best – product and market development.
Steyn said that the joint venture – effective from the end of April – would in no way change the existing services offered by MasterFibre. However, the additional manufacturing capacity would enable the company to increase both the number and size of orders.
As an innovator in this space, Steyn was one of the very first to begin selling moulded rubber products, including tiles and pavers, into the South African market.
"Our biggest claim to fame is the moulded products. I started by making these products by hand and then brought in machines. Up until then, they were being imported at a very high cost. Even now, not a lot of others are doing this. We're building the market from scratch," he explained.
A civil engineer by training, Steyn added a number of innovative products to MasterFibre's basic rubber matting offering when he took over the company in 2007. These included rubber safety mats for children's playgrounds, doormats and rubber mats with customised logos for businesses, specialized mats for horse boxes and equestrian use, ballistic products and tiles for shooting ranges.
Van Dyck Floors manufactures rubber flooring and paving and acoustic cradles and underlays for carpets which are sold locally and exported to 50 countries across the world.
Zarrebini said that, in 2016, Van Dyck had invested in a sample line to manufacture additional products including paving mats and rubber pavers. This had proved successful and the company had invested in two larger machines that could produce 1m x 1m products and interlocking paving mats.
Van Dyck invested in a further two units to produce moulded rubber flooring products measuring 2m x 1m and automated the process last year.
"This investment has given us much more flexibility and increased production capacity substantially. We have also invested in new moulds. Where we could initially produce bricks, pavers and 1m x 1m interlocking mats, now we have 1 metre honeycomb pavers and we are able to produce kerbs for the 1m x 1m mats. The increased automation will also improve our manufacturing efficiency," he said.
The new lines were commissioned in April 2018.
Steyn said that, with additional access to Van Dyck's manufacturing, MasterFibre could cut down on lead times on orders significantly.
The new joint venture would also see the introduction of a number of new products and colours both immediately and over the next year. These include the development of flexi grids for the agricultural and mining industries.
However, one of the strongest growth areas for the new joint venture is rubber moulded products for children's playgrounds and sporting facilities.
MasterFibre products have been tested by an independent laboratory and fully comply with all standards set by the South African Bureau of Standards in terms of the stringent South African National Standards (SANS) Regulations for Safety which applies to all playground equipment and surfaces.
MasterFibre South Africa is also adding playground products manufactured from synthetic EPDM which is UV resistant and extremely durable and is particularly appealing to those developing high end facilities worth more than R15 million.
Zarrebini said that the new joint venture would enable MasterFibre to tap into Van Dyck's extensive regional logistics and distribution system with a view to growing its national footprint. It can also access Van Dyck's extensive network of influential architects, specifiers and contractors.
Already, the rebranded company has set up its first office in KwaZulu-Natal at Van Dyck's Durban head office.

Femara belongs to the class of drugs known as antineoplastics and is used to treat cancer. More specifically, Femara and generic letrozole are a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor most often used to treat advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Femara prevents the production of estrogens by blocking the enzyme aromatase from converting androgens. This prevents the growth of certain types of breast cancer that rely on estrogens to grow and survive. Femara has also been used to reduce the risk of recurrence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Letrozole, the generic alternative is not manufactured by the same company that makes the brand product (Femara).

Tannery Bay Legacy Act Cleanup
St. Marys River Area of Concern
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Phelps Dodge Corp. along with the state of Michigan shared the costs of an $8 million cleanup project on Tannery Bay, a polluted bay west of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Chromium and mercury from a former tannery polluted the bay, which is on St. Marys River, the connecting channel between lakes Superior and Huron. St. Marys River is a joint U.S.-Canadian "area of concern," which marks the region for special environmental attention.
The project used $4.8 million in federal Great Lakes Legacy Act funds. Phelps Dodge, which owns the former Cannelton Industries tannery property, contributed $2.6 million. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, through the state's Clean Michigan Initiative, provided $600,000 in funding.
The pollution was mainly byproducts from the Northwestern Leather Co. tannery that operated from 1900 to 1958. When the tannery was operating, waste was dumped into ditches and flowed into the bay where it settled in the mud (sediment).
