Really need some help. My husband goes down to see his family (they live in Eastbourne and we live in Farnborough) and it really upsets me no matter how long he goes down there for, as I hate being alone and not having him with me all the time. I continuously cry everyday until the day he comes back and I struggle to sleep and also eat. He tells me that I'll be ok etc but it don't help the matter as he doesn't understand that I get very upset when he goes. I know I can't stop him seeing his family but it just really upsets me every time he goes without me.
What can I do to make this better for me, as we just end up arguing almost every time he goes away.

Q: Dynamic placement of tooltip based on viewport size does not work Bootstrap 3 I am using the tooltip functionality of Bootstrap 3. In the documentation, it says I can call

placement: 'auto'

in my initialisation of the tooltip and so I have done the following:
$(".tour-badges li img, .difficulty-rating li").tooltip({ container: 'body', placement: 'auto' });

This should prevent the tooltip from appearing outside of the viewport. So, if a user views the site on a mobile and they scroll so the tooltip trigger is at the top of the screen, the tootip should appear below because the available screenspace is automatically calculated. However, this does not work.
Does anyone know how I can fix this:

So that instead it does this and moves to where there is available space in the viewport:

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
N.B.
I tried using the following code to fix this issue but this makes the tooltip always appear below the content which is not what I want.
var test = {
        placement: function (context, source) {
            var position = $(source).position();

            if (position.top < 110) {
                return "bottom";
            }

            return top;
        }
    }

    $(".tour-badges li img, .difficulty-rating li").tooltip(test);

A: According to Bootstrap 3 documentation:

How to position the tooltip - top | bottom | left | right | auto.
  When "auto" is specified, it will dynamically reorient the tooltip. For example, if placement is "auto left", the tooltip will display to the left when possible, otherwise it will display right.

Try to use placement: 'auto top'

GeoCities Cost More Than MySpace, YouTube, Bebo, Flickr and Skype Combined
Nicholas Carlson
Apr. 25, 2009, 7:00 AM
Last week, Yahoo finally shuttered GeoCities, which it purchased for $5 billion in 1999.
$5 billion is a remarkable number -- one that helps put some of the mistakes of the Web 2.0 era in perspective.
People say former AOL CEO Randy Falco's last big mistake was spending $850 million on third-place social network Bebo.
They say Google's failure to monetize its $1.65 billion YouTube acquisition proves its executives are more lucky then good.
They point at Yahoo and wonder how, after it spent $30 million on Flickr, it let Facebook become the most popular photo-sharing site on the Web.
They say former eBay CEO Meg Whitman shouldn't stand a chance running for California governor because of how she spent $2.6 billion on Skype, which is profitable but so irrelevant to eBay's core business that it is going to be spun off.
You already know where we're going with this. That's right, the sum total spent on those five acquisitions combined does't amount to what Yahoo spent on GeoCities back in 1999, let alone the $5.7 billion Yahoo spent on Broadcast.com that same year.

Beat the butter, egg and then add in the sugar with an electric mixer. Add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to make a soft dough. Then mix in the chocolate chips or Callebaut Crispearls.
*Callebaut Crispearls are tiny toasted biscuit kernel coated with chocolate.
Chill the dough in the fridge for about 1/2 hour before making 16 balls from the dough. Place the cookie balls in a lined baking sheet and flatten it about 1/4" thick before baking in a preheated 350F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until it is golden.
Cookies will slightly harden after it cools on a wire rack so don't over bake as it might burn on the bottom. This recipe is adapted from here.
The crispearls make your cookies look very spring-like!

Celebrated for distinctive textures, strong silhouettes and impeccable craftsmanship, FBC London – the namesake furniture brand by Fiona Barratt-Campbell – has been flying the flag for next-level British furniture design since 2013. Drawing inspiration from history and the natural world, every piece from Barratt-Campbell's coveted collections tells a unique story. Here, the interior designer and brand founder tells us her tale – from establishing her business to the brand's plans for 2017.
How would you sum up the Fiona Barratt-Campbell aesthetic?
Strong shapes and very textured. I think that's what sets us apart from our competitors – the different textures that we use.
Was there a defining moment that made you realise you wanted to establish your own brand?
Yes, it was basically the first business that I set up – my interior design business. I was designing bespoke pieces for clients and had very positive feedback. Other people who had seen the pieces that I'd designed said: "Where can I buy these?" I found it increasingly difficult to find a certain look that I wanted to put into the interiors that we were doing, so that's how it really started. It was a need. I filled the gap for myself and quite a lot of other people, who seem to like our pieces.
Where do you look for inspiration when creating your pieces?
First and foremost, it's the natural world. All different types of terrains, environments, things that you see in nature [such as] the shapes and textures that plants produce, animal skins, colours, shells – anything. Also, Roman history and Roman artefacts, anything sort of Roman is very important – it's been very influential for me growing up in the North East.
Has your north east upbringing impacted your work in any other ways?
The north east culture is sort of ingrained in you. It's like a work ethic. It's very strong. You're always very proud of your roots. The rugged nature of the [North East's] countryside and the history [also has an influence.] Northumberland has a very bloody past and I think that's just sort of ingrained in the culture. It's [gives you] very much a fighter's, strong personality.
Can you tell us a little bit about the craftsmanship that goes into FBC London pieces?
We use everything from sand casting, which is a 3000-year-old technique, right through to laser cutting. [It's] that fusion of old methods and new technology.
Do you work with ship-makers as well as conventional furniture makers?
We use metal works who have predominately made parts for British steel warships. They're making parts for our furniture!
How do you think being an interior designer first and foremost impacts on your product design?
I had ten years in the industry as an interior designer before I started designing products, and it means that you're already ahead of the game in terms of what the end user wants and what the end user is looking for. It's invaluable experience.
Where is your client base located?
We've had pieces going to Los Angeles, America, Asia, China, Hong Kong, Australia. All into Europe, Russia – everywhere really.
What's the most satisfying aspect of your job as a brand founder and interior designer?
I just love what I do. Fact. Full stop. It doesn't seem like work. I enjoy getting up every day and enjoy everything that I do, and I think it's a real privilege to be in a position where you do a job that you love.
Of all your products, do you have an all-time favourite piece?
They're all different. I love anything from the City range, which features the chipped-oak finish. We do credenzas, chest of drawers, bedside tables, all in different colours now – that has been the most successful selling range.I think it's one of my favourites just because it's so unique.
Also, the Aurora coffee table.
The Aurora coffee table is so distinctive. Can you tell us a little more about the piece?
The very wet ground had dried and the result was just so amazing. For a lot of the pieces, the inspiration is taken from my own photographic imagery.
We are looking in the next few years to open internationally, looking to the states. We've launched a kitchen brand, FBC London kitchens, which is great. People have had a fantastic reaction to that. We've applied the ethos of the furniture brand to the kitchen pieces. It's that very strong, striking shapes and unusual textures into the kitchen – that's a very exciting market for us.

ICYMI: Georgia Democrats Blasted Trump's COVID-19 Response in Rome
"We can't take another reckless Trump visit, or another four years of his administration's failures. Floyd County is already seeing spikes in covid-19 infection rates, and we continue to lose loved ones to the virus that could have been contained if Donald Trump had not failed us." -Rome City Commissioner Wendy Davis
Yesterday, ahead of Trump's rally in Rome, Democratic Party of Georgia hosted a press conference with Rome Democrats slamming Trump's ineffective, chaotic leadership on the coronavirus. They highlighted their personal experiences with coronavirus, and talked about why we need Joe Biden in the White House to defeat the pandemic, build back better, and protect our health care. See for yourself:
Rome News-Tribune: State, local Democrats offer virtual response to Trump visit, centered on COVID-19 concerns: In cooperation with the Democratic Party of Georgia, local and state party officials virtually hosted locals who shared personal stories of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected them.
Roman Terrell Shaw called each of America's COVID-19 cases an "individual human tragedy," partially blaming Donald Trump for the extent of the outbreak.
"If (the president) had provided the leadership that any of our great presidents would have provided in situations like this, those numbers would have been much, much lower," Shaw said.
Shaw said he thinks a Biden/Harris administration can work to defeat the virus. Former vice president Joe Biden is the Democratic nominee for president and Sen. Kamala Harris is his chosen vp candidate.
GPB: Trump, Harris Rallies Showcase Battle For Georgia's Votes — And Political Future: But Democrats said that the only contagion Republicans should be concerned about is the spread of the coronavirus that is still ongoing in northwest Georgia.
"Donald Trump is coming to our town, to our community, to distract Georgians from his failed policies to address this public health problem," said Ben Amis, chairman of the Floyd County Democratic Party, in a virtual news conference. "Over 360,000 Georgians have been infected by COVID-19, and nearly 8,000 have died during this pandemic, and he has no plan. He is here to distract from the fact that there is nothing he is going to do, nothing he has done to help our community, to help our state, to help our country battle this public health crisis."
AJC: Instead, the Democratic Party of Georgia moved the event to Zoom where local Democrats talked about what they considered the dangers of another Trump term in office, especially in light of the still-raging coronavirus pandemic.
Rome resident Jessie Reed spoke about her family's struggles with multiple cases of COVID that affected several members of her family, most severely her husband. He is a "long hauler" who has spent three months experiencing fatigue and other symptoms.
"He has gone from completely healthy to unable to function," she said.
WRCB: The Democratic Party of Georgia hosted a virtual press conference with Rome Democrats ahead of President Trump's campaign rally.
Rome City Commissioner Wendy Davis criticized the Trump campaign's decision to hold a rally in Rome, citing Floyd County's COVID-19 cases:
"We can't take another reckless Trump visit, or another four years of his administration's failures. Floyd County is already seeing spikes in covid-19 infection rates, and we continue to lose loved ones to the virus that could have been contained if Donald Trump had not failed us.
Our schools here in the city of Rome have moved completely virtual, with over 600 students, staff and faculty in quarantine due to the Trump administration's failed leadership in protecting them. In two days, we are going to kick Donald Trump out of office, and replace him with Joe Biden, who will take this crisis seriously."

Midwest Express Clinic opens location in Michigan City by Marquette Mall
By: Aubrey Thomson Last Updated: December 12, 2022
After a year of planning, Midwest Express Clinic hosted a ribbon cutting and grand opening at its brand-new location at 3939 Franklin St. in Michigan City, close to Marquette Mall. This will add to Midwest Express Clinic's over 30 locations scattered throughout Indiana and Illinois and provide a new option for Michigan City area residents.
Midwest Express Clinic Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening 2022
While the clinic had a soft opening on July 25, Midwest Express Clinic Operations Manager Thomas Svoliantopoulos is hoping this official grand opening will introduce more people to the new location.
"It's my understanding from conversations I had this morning that a lot of the regular clients of Midwest Express Clinic live in the Greater Michigan City area, but they've been going to Portage," said Michigan City Mayor Duane Parry. "This will be so much more convenient for local residents. Michigan City is becoming very medically oriented. It's going to be a center for healthcare, which is really exciting."
"People in Michigan City have continued going to Portage because they had no idea we were here. We're hoping this event helps to let people in the Michigan City area know they don't have to travel far for the health care they prefer," Svoliantopoulos said. "We have a beautiful location and great community that we're proud to be a part of."
With chalkboard walls and a TV to entertain kids in the lobby, state-of-the-art equipment, and branded artwork spread throughout the Michigan City Midwest Express Clinic, this new location is both beautiful and highly functional.
Beauty is certainly not the only attractive feature of the Michigan City Midwest Express Clinic. The clinic welcomes walk-ins, offers easy mobile check-in, has ample hours of operation from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on weekends, and provides services for cold, flu, COVID-19, RSV, and more.
"This is an urgent care that differentiates from the others in the sense that they provide preventative care, they provide child care. They provide a gambit of different services from STD testing to women's health to school and sports physicals," said Midwest Express Clinic Marketing Director Abiha Ahmed. "They will get you in and out really fast, the staff is very caring, and overall, it's a great company. I think it's the best healthcare provider that we have right now."
"Midwest Express Clinic is such a great company that offers affordable health care to so many different communities," Ahmed said. "The fact that they're here now in Michigan City just shows that they now can service this area and not only provide affordable health care but also provide the highest quality to all the community members here."
While the staff at the Michigan City Midwest Express Clinic consists of a small team at present, Svoliantopoulos knows that number will grow as the location gains traction.
"We have a beautiful location and great community, so we hope everything skyrockets," Svoliantopoulos said. "Michigan City is a great midpoint. It's right before Michigan, so we're going to catch all the traffic coming from different directions whether they're coming from Michigan or going to Michigan."

Not to spoil anything, but in my view there was a major logic error with the DVD they got sent later in the book, regarding the number of crimes and victims filmed (there should have been 1 more, I paged back to see if I did remember wrong, I did not).
So, I hoped with time the writing and the books would progress and get better, but again, this is a solid 3 star if you can ignore the DVD, that would normally warrant a star less. It may be that it was explained, but I cannot remember that, it is rather late for me to write the review (being December now and having read the book 2 months and a lot of books ago).

Hiking the Gallipoli Battlefields
If you're a hiker with good shoes, strong legs and a bag with water, snacks, sunblock and a good guidebook, you can tour some of the northern highpoints of the Gallipoli battlefields in a day of walking (about 16 km/10 miles)(map).
The Gallipoli peninsula is long, and the distance from the northernmost battlefield to the peninsula's tip at Cape Helles, Abide and Seddülbahir is over 35 km (22 miles), so this day-hike does not show you any of the southern Gallipoli battlefields such as those at Twelve Tree Copse, Lancashire Landing, Pink Farm, Y Beach, V Beach, Seddülbahir or Cape Helles.
(Backpackers Travel of Istanbul organizes great value-for-money guided tours, if that's what you'd prefer. More…)
Northern Gallipoli Peninsula
Start your hiking tour by taking the car ferry from the center of Çanakkale to Kilitbahir or Eceabat, then hire a taxi to take you all the way uphill to the New Zealand memorial at Chunuk Bair (Conk Bayırı), 13 km from Eceabat. By starting here you immediately get a breathtaking view of the battlefields, and most of your walking will be downhill.
From the New Zealand memorial at Chunuk Bair it's about 3 km (2 miles) downhill to Lone Pine and the Australian war memorial, another 3.75 km (2.3 miles) to the Çanakkale Epic Information Center (Çanakkale Destanı Tanıtım Merkezi), and 9 km (5.6 miles) from the museum back to Eceabat and the ferry docks.
From Chunuk Bair, walk south and east along the road for 100 meters and turn right. The five gigantic stone tablets of the Turkish Conk Bayırı memorial loom nearby.
600 meters downhill is the monument to Talat Göktepe, the heroic Chief Director of the Çanakkale Forestry District who died here on July 25, 1994 fighting the disastrous conflagration that denuded these hills.
One km farther downhill is Düztepe and a monument to the Ottoman 10th Regiment.
1500 meters farther along are Baby 700 and the Mesudiye Topu memorials.
300 meters more brings you to a road heading west to The Nek and the Mehmet Çavuş memorial.
100 meters farther downhill is the cemetery and memorial to the Ottoman 57th Regiment, and one km farther down is Lone Pine, the Australian memorial, and numerous other monuments recalling important events in the campaign.
From Lone Pine a path of sorts leads west across the hills and down Shrapnel Valley to the Aegean coast near Anzac Cove.
From Anzac Cove, with its famous memorial by Atatürk honoring the fallen of both sides, it's about 3.5 km (2.2 miles back to the Çanakkale Epic Information Center. Along the way at the Kabatepe beach are small restaurants, snack stands, toilets and such services.
At this point you may have walked about 12 km (7.5 miles) in about 4 or 5 hours, depending upon how much time you spent at the various monuments and memorials. To return to the ferry dock at Eceabat (9 km/5.6 miles), try to hitch a ride with a passing car, (or ask at the information center for help in summoning a taxi.
Southern Gallipoli Peninsula
To visit some of the sites at the southern tip of the peninsula, you can take a minibus from Eceabat or Kilitbahir along the eastern shore of the peninsula, then west into the hills through Alçıtepe (Krythia) and south again to Seddülbahir at Cape Helles.
Here you can visit the Abide, the towering four-legged Turkish war memorial; the ruins of the ancient Seddülbahir fortress; the Cape Helles Memorial and, after a short walk, the Lancashire Landing Cemetery.
To the south is the Dardanelles, and across it in the distance, the Troad (Plain of Troy) and the ruins of ancient Troy itself. More…

Lindsay, Joan
A chilling adaptation of Joan Lindsay's classic novel about the disappearance of three Australian schoolgirls in the summer of 1900.
ISBN: 9781848426214 Category: Poetry & Drama Tag: Plays, playscripts
'I know you're there? Miranda? Miranda!'
On a summer's day in 1900, three Australian schoolgirls on a picnic expedition to the remote Hanging Rock abscond from their group. They are last seen heading towards the beckoning Rock?
In Tom Wright's chilling adaptation of Joan Lindsay's classic novel, five performers struggle to solve the mystery of the missing girls and their teacher. Euphoria and terror reverberate throughout the community, as the potential for history to repeat itself becomes nightmarishly real.

almost 3 years ago from Max Lind, sometimes Maxwell
Laurens Spangenberg, almost 3 years ago
I have nothing but the utmost respect for Frank and I do agree that quality beats quantity, but that being said, I feel like he updates the design of his website more frequently than he adds content.
Ryan Van Gatten, almost 3 years ago
This guy again?
Dominic Sebastian, almost 3 years ago
I don't know any designer that updates their site as regularly as Frank, let alone does such a nice job each time.
James Young, almost 3 years ago
I'm sure someone smarter than me will outline why this, like the last version of his site, is a work of genius and not just a weird 90's frames style layout but I don't "get it" in design terms.
Nic Trent, almost 3 years ago
This is an example of his straight-forward decision making, sticking with his "web's grain" ethos.
"I think you make what I call "bicycle bear websites." Why? Because my response to both is the same.
"Listen bub," I say, "it is very impressive that you can teach a bear to ride a bicycle, and it is fascinating and novel. But perhaps it's cruel? Because that's not what bears are supposed to do. And look, pal, that bear will never actually be good at riding a bicycle."
This is how I feel about so many of the fancy websites I see. "It is fascinating that you can do that, but it's really not what a website is supposed to do."

"In 2016, I co-founded Abstract, a software company focused on making design teams' processes more visible and managable through version control technology. I left at the start of 2017 to return to my design practice, but I'm still an advisor to the company. They're doing great work, so go check them out."

Frank's new site has almost none of his old blog posts. Perhaps, he's in the process of moving them over?


This is very cool! Here is an Urdu translation of Sagan's Pale Blue Dot excerpt (tip from Zakir Thaver). This apparently is part of a project of urdu language translation of science content, proposed by Faisal R. Ahmad at Cornell University. We have to capture the wonder and thrill of science. This is a great step. Fantastic!
Mashal Books is an NGO run by Pervez Hoodbhoy which has translated Sagan, Hawking, Asimov, Dawkins' and many other books on science, social issues, education, economics, philosophy etc in Urdu which available for free or nominal.
Asad - yes. Mashal Books effort is fantastic! Thanks for reminding me of that!
Weirder and weirder. Why would a muslim be celebrating and promoting the atheistic principle of mediocrity?
"Because of the reflection of sunlight . . . the Earth seems to besitting in a beam of light, as if there were some special significance to this small world. But it's just an accident of geometry and optics. . . . Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves."
And yet, if the Qu'ran is true, this is indeed a privileged planet. Mr Hameed should surely be promoting "The Privileged Planet" by Guillermo Gonzalez instead... even if there isn't an Urdu version available.

Interview with Playwright Aleks Merilo
Aleks Merilo discusses his play, Tango Mike.
My grandfather. He was an army veteran with a stoic nature, but I learned that towards the end of his life, he scheduled these terse phone calls with a retired navy officer who lived nearby. The brusque nature of these calls seemed to disguise a deep reservoir of compassion between these two men.
What someone takes away from a play is what they bring to it. I believe we all have quiet but powerful relationships in our lives; my hope is that this may ring true with others' own relationships.
Most recently, Ernest Joselovitz for his script "Vilna's Got a Golem." A story of Russian-Jewish actors, I initially I thought I was watching a comedy. As the play progressed, my expectations were so utterly reversed that I still have not forgotten the chill I got at the show's conclusion. Absolutely harrowing.
I feel that theater is alive in a way other literature is not. It's the closest thing I can think of to stepping into a painting and becoming part of the imagined world.
Simple stories about complex characters.
Book a reading, show up, and don't tell anyone you are the playwright. Best and most honest feedback you will ever get.
One of your works, The Widow of Tom's Hill, is going to be produced Off-Broadway at 59E59. Can you tell us a little about the process of developing the play and getting it to this stage?
I really thought this play would never be staged. A play about a real life quarantine in 1918 Washington, I felt it was too, too dark, and the staging too limiting.
It turns out that belief was a wonderfully liberating tool; it allowed me to take some creative risks that I would never have taken otherwise, experimenting with theatrical structure, telling a horror story disguised as a fairy tale. At each reading the universal comment from the audience was "more, "and suddenly a 15-minute experiment became a 90-minute full length.
The rest I owe to Rachel Black Spaulding at Luna Stage in New Jersey – She really championed this play.
Is there anything you would like to add?
There are far too few theaters that devote themselves so passionately to new works. The ones that do deserve enormous recognition – Here are a few companies and professionals that I think all playwrights should be so lucky to know: The Landing Theater in Houston, Texas; The Sanguine in New York City; Trey Nichols at The Moving Arts in Los Angeles; Mike Ricci at North Hennipen, Minnesota. It is my deepest belief that these are the theater professionals that other companies should seek to emulate.
Aleks Merilo is an award-winning and critically acclaimed playwright based in Portland, OR. Merilo's scripts include "Exit 27? (performed at the Landing Theatre in Houston, Texas, and The Sanguine Theatre Company in New York City) "Blur in the Rear View" (winner of the James Rodgers Playwriting Contest, premiered at the University of Kentucky, Lexington) and "Little Moscow" (winner of the Dubuque Playwriting Contest, performed at the Labute New Play Festival). His plays have been performed and developed at Furious Theatre Company at the Pasadena Playhouse, Old Globe Theater, Fertile Ground Festival of New Works in Portland, OR, Pittsburgh New Works Festival, Ross Valley Players, The Moving Arts Theater, The UCLA New Play Festival, and Portland Readers Theater. Originally from Palo Alto, CA, Aleks holds a BA in Theater and an MFA in playwriting from The UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television. Merilo's play "The Widow of Tom's Hill" has recently been slated for a 2015 Off-Broadway production at 59E59 Theaters in New York. Congratulations, Aleks!

Over the Christmas break I was sent "I Don't Know How She Does it" on DVD to review! Since I had a 3 hour car ride, I knew I wanted to watch it then! I loved this movie! In this movie, there is the eternal battle that all working moms face…work success vs. family time. This comes out TOMORROW, Jan 3rd, on DVD and BluRay.
I loved the story line for more then one reason. First I loved that Kate, the mom, was working to move up the ladder at work and giving it 100%, yet while at home still trying to be the best mom ever. I loved all of the funny things she did to try to "measure up" with other moms! I must admit that the store bought pie placed in a glass dish and then rolled with a rolling pin to "fit the dish" is not one I had thought of. As moms and women, we all do…constantly trying to make everyone think we can keep the world turning…even when we feel quite the opposite inside.
I loved that thruout this movie there were marital stresses caused by two working parents, yet they worked them out. I loved that there was opportunity for affairs, yet Kate held strong to her marriage vows. This is a must see!
You can grab it on Amazon for just $17.99 for the DVD or $35.99 for the BluRay.


Indulge in 40 mouthwatering cookie recipes from Midwest Living readers, Midwest restaurants and our own Test Kitchen.
These cookies come with a friendly warning: Chewy caramel, toasted pecans and a flurry of sea salt will make you popular. Very popular. A product called caramel bits gives these cookies great flavor and chewy texture. Some supermarkets carry them, and they're widely available online. (Search for Kraft Caramel Bits.) Take care to follow recipe directions when baking: caramel bits melt quickly.
Browned butter infuses irresistible nuttiness into these four-ingredient cookies without sullying their essential simplicity or sandy texture. Dip them in satiny chocolate for effortless glamor.
Chopped apple, pecans, apple juice, apple pie spice and more combine for a hearty, delicious cookie. The frosting and nuts add just the right touch of sweetness and crunch on top.
Calling all peanut butter fans! These cookies offer double-the-PB compared to the classic peanut blossom cookie with a chocolate kiss on top. And they couldn't be easier.
The recipe for these sweet and spicy cookies comes from the Warren family in Stanley, Kansas. The gingersnaps are a favorite at family gatherings.
In all our years of testing, we've rarely found a cookie recipe as crazy-simple as this reliable crowd-pleaser. These cookies taste great au naturel--but dipping the bottoms in chocolate adds easy decadence (and looks eye-catching on a cookie tray).
It's not easy satisfying everyone, but this cookie from the Midwest Living® Test Kitchen tries to meet the challenge! It's packed with oatmeal, chocolate, peanut butter and nuts.
Cinnamon, brown sugar, oats and finely crushed grahams shape this moist cookie made even more irresistible with a thumbprint filling of marshmallow creme and an upside-down milk chocolate candy.
This cookie, from the former Lindsay's Chocolate Cafe and Coffee House in O'Fallon, Missouri, wowed us with its flavor-packed lineup of ingredients. "These are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had! " says one of our website reviewers. "These are wonderful with a glass of cold milk while the cookie is still warm!"
Make eating cookies an interactive experience by serving them alongside a jar of sweet-tart homemade lemon curd. The recipes come from Andy Schudlich of Epicure Catering and Cherry Basket Farm in Michigan.
At Sister Pie in Detroit, they make these buttery, buttercream- or ganache-filled sandwich cookies from scraps of dough leftover from making pies. You can do the same, storing them in the freezer until you have enough. Or just make a fresh batch of pastry—it's worth it! The recipe comes from cafe owner Lisa Ludwinski's debut cookbook, Sister Pie.
Nothing fancy here; this is the perfectly chewy lunchbox classic, pebbled with walnuts and plump raisins. A combination of vegetable oil and butter ensures a chewy texture and rich flavor. This recipe comes from Patty Pinner's cookbook Sweets (crownpublishing.com).
Irresistible tangy lemon and rich pecans flavor one of the easiest cookies around: buttery shortbread. Serve with a cool dish of ice cream in the summer or a hot cup of tea in winter.
Here's our version of Bess Truman's coconut cookie recipe from the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. We added the fruit.
Chicago chef Myk Banas created these utterly delicious and subtly sophisticated cookies.
A round cookie cutter with scalloped edges makes a nice shape for these cookies, but bell, tree or star cutters would also be good choices for the holidays.
These to-die-for cookies use special chocolate and two kinds of salt, and they call for an overnight chill—and you can absolutely taste the difference. Because of the expense and time involved, we don't recommend them for any old weekend, but they are incredible for a gift or other special occasion. The recipe comes from Chicago chef Mindy Segal's cookbook Cookie Love.
Patrick Groth, owner-chef of Incredibly Delicious bakery in Springfield, Illinois, uses his grandmother's recipe for these cookies. "Use the best walnuts you have and fresh butter," he advises.
"I love caramel, nuts and chocolate," says the Mandan, North Dakota, reader who sent this recipe to a Midwest Living® cookie contest. Fantasy Chocolate-Caramel Delights were one of the highest-rated cookies in the contest.
Because this recipe makes so many cookies, you might want to freeze some dough for future use. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week. Or freeze in a freezer container for up to 6 months; thaw in refrigerator before use.
A Hanover, Kansas, reader sent the recipe for these chocolate cookies with peanut butter centers to a Midwest Living® cookie contest. A judge described them as "regally rich chocolate with a peanut butter kick."
Carol Schneider of Wausau, Wisconsin, brought home a blue ribbon when she entered these cookies at the Wisconsin State Fair. The recipe combines white and semisweet chocolate with dried cherries and walnuts.
Seeds from the Sunflower State star in this crunchy favorite, along with rolled oats and shredded coconut. The recipe is from a Mulberry, Kansas, reader.
We loaded these crisp and chewy chocolate chip cookies with white and chocolate chips along with toasted hazelnuts.
The recipe for these big, soft sugar cookies was contributed by Mellissa Deyo, former owner of Jerabek's Bohemian Coffeehouse and Bakery in Saint Paul. "It's my Great-Aunt Hilda's recipe, which has been in my dad's family for 50 years or more," Mellissa says. "It's my favorite!"
Linda Roberts of Rapid City, South Dakota, tops her buttery cream cheese, coconut-coated cookie with fruit jam.
A luscious chocolate and pecan mixture swirls throughout these festive cookies.
What makes these cookies so awesome? "Special ingredients," says the Marion, Ohio, reader who contributed the recipe, which includes chocolate and peanut butter. "I like them because they're decadent yet so easy to make."
Chocolate chips, peanut butter and oatmeal pack these cookies from a Door County, Wisconsin, bed-and-breakfast. Because this recipe makes so many cookies, you might want to freeze some dough for future use.
Pecans form the base for a gooey caramel topping crowned with semisweet chocolate and white chocolate pieces.
Orange and chocolate: a cookie match that tempts everyone to take seconds. This recipe comes from Jill Drury in Milwaukee, who loved to bake cookies with her grandmother. "For the longest time I couldn't decide which cookie I liked best, until one day Grandma had me mix my favorite flavors: chocolate and orange," she says.
These cookies from the Inn at Cedar Falls in Logan, Ohio, make a colorful treat anytime of year.
Crisp on the outside and fudgy on the inside, these easy drop cookies feature semisweet chocolate pieces as well as peanut butter-flavored pieces. Unsweetened cocoa powder punches up the chocolate flavor.
Many cookies call for just citrus zest, but these soft gems use a lot of juice, too, so they've got the same tart kick as lemon bars. They're a perfect match for hot tea. The recipe comes from The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook (University of Minnesota Press, $29.95).
Great with coffee or as an afternoon snack, these cookies combine the spicy flavors of cinnamon and cardamom, with sliced almonds on top.
This recipe will satisfy chocolate lovers' cravings with semisweet chocolate pieces, unsweetened chocolate, melted white chocolate and melted semisweet chocolate. Just a half a cup of flour goes into this fudgy delight.
Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside: This spice cookie has it all. It's a state fair prizewinning recipe from Catherine Blackwood of Columbus, Ohio.
Dried cherries make oatmeal cookies even more memorable in this recipe from American Spoon Foods, which has locations in the Traverse City, Michigan, area. We like the cookies' crisp edges and chewy centers.
Marjorie Johnson of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, won one of her 2,500 state fair ribbons with this recipe. It's also part of her cookbook, The Road to Blue Ribbon Baking.
Biscotti gets its crunch from twice-baking. This citrus-speckled recipe comes from the former Inn at Kristofer's in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.


This post couldn't have been timed any better. Last week I put out a call for positive programs to review and someone requested I check out Cardpool, a site to buy and sell gift cards. It only took me a few minutes of browsing the site before I realized I was hooked on the idea.
You can buy gift cards at a discounted price or you can sell gift cards you don't want or need to Cardpool. They will sell the gift cards at a discount to people who will actually use them. The beauty of it all is that you can save money and still receive the same product, or you can make money on a gift card you don't want to use and put that money to better use elsewhere.
The most reassuring factor of the whole site is that you deal with Cardpool only. If you buy a gift card, it has been 100% verified to have the correct amount on it. If you're selling a gift card, you get paid in cash upfront for gift card. You don't have to deal with other users at any time. Not to mention there are no shipping or processing fees when buying or selling gift cards.
The gift cards also do not expire, there are no extra fees associated with them, and you have a 100-day return policy. Yeah, I'm going to check this site before I do any shopping from now on.
There are two types of gift cards for sale: electronic and physical gift cards. Both types are on sale at Cardpool for up to 35% off their value. Electronic gift cards are emailed to you and you can use them online instantly. Physical gift cards take a few days to arrive by mail.
Not bad right? I had an order in my shopping cart ready to be checked out worth $105. I checked Cardpool at the last minute and saw that Pacsun had gift cards available. I bought one right away and instantly received an email with details on how to redeem the gift card online. Before checking Cardpool, I was ready to pay $105 for an order. 10 minutes later, that exact order only cost me $89.69. Same items. Same order. Cardpool.
Click here to browse the available gift cards.
I am planning on picking up a few extra gift cards this weekend for Christmas. I have two sisters that insist on clothes for presents. (I believe this is a clever way of asking for gift cards honestly.) Both shop at a store called Ann Taylor Loft and Cardpool happens to have gift cards there for 20% off.
Now, I can go to Ann Taylor Loft and spend $100 on a $100 gift card, or I can go to Cardpool and buy a $100 gift card for $80. Seems like a no-brainer right? You're getting a $100 giftcard to Ann Taylor either way, it's just that you save $20 if you buy it through Cardpool instead.
One thing to note is that you're not getting some sort of Cardpool branded piece of paper or something like that. You're getting an authentic gift card that is absolutely no different than the one you'd pay for in the store.
You can also sell gift cards you don't no longer want. You aren't going to get full price for your gift cards, but they do make reasonable offers depending on the supply and demand of that particular store.
Since you're selling the gift cards for less than what they're worth, definitely make sure it's a gift card you aren't going to use. I currently have a $25 gift card to a chain restaurant that I don't particularly like. Cardpool offered to pay me $20.25 for the card. I think I'm going to sell it because even though I'm losing $4.75, I can use that $20.25 at a restaurant I actually enjoy.
Cardpool does cover the cost of shipping the gift card for you. Once they receive the gift card and verify the correct amount on the gift card, they'll mail you a check for the price you agreed upon. They are a trustworthy company and have been reviewed by CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, NPR, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and many other highly reputable publications. I haven't sold a gift card there yet, but I may have a few gift cards I don't want in about two week's time.
Click here for more information on how selling works.
I have personally bought and used gift cards from Cardpool and HIGHLY recommend you do the same. It's a great way to save money and receive the same exact product you would have received in a store. I can't wait for December 26th because the gift card market is going to be flooded and I plan on saving a bit of cash.
Click here and check out Cardpool now!
If you have any experience with the company, please leave a comment below!
Absolutely genius. Thanks for sharing!
Where have you been?! You haven't posted in a while.

Interview with James Curran: 'The Adventures of Tintin' Unofficial Title Sequence
Posted October 17, 2011 by Michelle Higa Fox
We're huge fans of self-initiated personal projects, and were delighted by James Curran's fantastic unofficial title sequence for The Adventures of Tintin. James was kind enough to take some time out of his schedule to answer some of our questions regarding the piece. Spielberg take note!
How did the project come about?
I originally had the idea to create a Tintin animation about a year ago, but my initial plan was a lot more complex. I wanted to fully animate Tintin running / driving / flying through different environments and scenarios from each of the books in sequence, but when I went back to read them it was obvious that it would be too difficult to pick out individual recognizable events from each story as there are so many to choose from. It was always the characters or key objects that stood out to me, so it made sense to focus on these instead and simplify the whole concept.
I ended up putting the idea to one side, but always intended to go back to it. Gradually as I saw more and more marketing for the Tintin film I was reminded to finally start working on it properly in my spare time just over a month ago.
Why Tintin?
I was a big fan of Tintin when I was younger, and I think it's important that when working on non-commissioned projects it has to be a subject that interests you, otherwise you can easily lose motivation to complete it. With the upcoming release of the film it was perfect timing to create something Tintin related, and as title sequences have always interested me it was an obvious way to tie it in with the film. From the beginning I knew I wanted to feature elements from all of the books even though many of the characters won't feature in the film, but I felt like it was the best way to introduce new viewers to the Tintin universe as a whole, and give existing fans a reminder of what may be to come.
About the Circle Motif
I had a completely separate idea for a series of short animations starting with a plain circle which then morphed into different things, but after doing a few tests I decided to merge it with the Tintin idea. The Tintin characters are already very simple designs, recognizable by just a few key features, so I wanted to break them down to just those elements. Tintin's head is basically a sphere with a quiff even in Hergé's style, so as he's the center of the story that was the obvious starting point. Spheres / circles are also versatile in that they can represent a wide variety of 2D and 3D objects depending on the perspective, so it gave the most potential for taking you through the Tintin timeline without straying too far from the basic motif.
Early on I decided that I wanted to use the theme from The Adventures of Tintin TV series as the soundtrack, as it's so recognizable to anyone who is a fan of Tintin. However, using the actual theme would have caused problems as it's so short and fast paced that fitting in references to all of the books would have been very difficult. Using a section from the slightly slower full symphonic theme from the soundtrack solved this problem to an extent.
As the style of my designs is very different from the original artwork I thought it was important to have something that tied them directly to the Tintin that people remember, and using the music was the perfect way to do this. My background is largely in music videos and music-related graphics, so I always enjoy being given a piece of music to start with and exploring how to represent it visually.
Although I used the TV series theme, I decided not to use (or even watch) any of the TV series as reference, as I felt using the original books as source material would be more faithful to Hergé's stories.
This seems like it too a LOT of sketching/planning to get everything in and to get the timing right. How much prep work was there?
Planning and prep was actually quite straight forward. Being limited by the length of the soundtrack I had to be strict about how much screen time I gave to each book, so I started by animating the background colors for each section. There were particular moments in the music that I knew I wanted to use for certain events, based on their rough timing related to the timeline of the series (e.g., the introduction of Captain Haddock, Castafiore singing, and the moon orbit) so I built the rest of the timing around these key events. From that point on the main prep work was to read through the books again to pick out elements that I wanted to use in the animation.
How did you decide which characters/icons to show in the sequence?
The easy choice was introducing each of the main characters as they appeared throughout the series, but beyond that I wanted to keep it an equal mix of iconic imagery that people with little knowledge of Tintin might still recognize (such as the rocket in Destination Moon), and more subtle references that only people who had read the books would notice (such as Rastapopoulos in The Blue Lotus or Ranko in The Black Island). I did very little experimentation with designs and the final result was often the my first idea, so the overall production time was much quicker than I had expected. I think this is as much a testament to the iconic nature of Hergé's artwork as it is my design skills.
I'm currently working as a motion graphics designer in London.
Thanks again to James for the interview! We wish him the best on his future creative endeavors and can't wait to see what he makes next.
Michael Squibb February 23rd, 2012
Really impressive. Is this all Illustrator/AE with a touch of 3D? Trying to reverse engineer the technique!

Gynecological and Obstetrical Care - Yemen
Yemeni women were asked if they visit a gynecologist or obstetrician, and if so, how frequently they visit. Nearly half of the women interviewed, 44%, have never visited a gynecologist or obstetrician. Only a small proportion of women visit once every one or two years (13%). A little over one in five women visit a gynecologist when pregnant (22%) (Figure 14).
Examining by marital status women's frequency of visits to gynecologists or obstetricians (Figure 15), most women were still unlikely to visit a gynecologist once every one or two years.
The vast majority of unmarried women (88%) have never visited a gynecologist/obstetrician.
Six in ten previously married women have never visited a gynecologist.
Married women were the most likely to visit a gynecologist or obstetrician at all.
Despite this, 28% of married women have never visited a gynecologist or obstetrician.
Across all age groups, women were unlikely to have visited a gynecologist or obstetrician. However, older women were less likely to have visited -- over three quarters of women 65 years old and older have never been to a gynecologist, and almost 60% of women ages 55 to 64 have never been.
The data suggest a generational shift across Yemen, as more women between 25 to 44 years old report having visited a gynecologist rarely or once every one or two years. Almost a fifth of women ages 25 to 34 visit every one or two years, and 26% of women ages 35 to 44 visit at least "rarely." Less than a third of women between 25 to 44 years old have never been to a gynecologist (Figure 16).
A generational shift also appears in access to formal education among Yemeni women (please see Educational Attainment and Career Aspirations Topic Brief): this rising level of education might have something to do with the rising frequency of visits to physicians who specialize in caring for women's reproductive health.
Despite such generational shifts, rates of gynecological/obstetrical visits remain low across levels of education. Although women with a university degree or higher are more likely to visit a gynecologist every one or two years than are women with no education (25% and 10%, respectively), and also are less likely to visit rarely (14% vs. 22%), over a third of women with a university degree or higher have never visited a gynecologist. One third to half of all women regardless of educational level in Yemen state that they have never visited a gynecologist (Figure 17).

"The Pirates! Band of Misfits" – Review by Zachary "The FilmWizard" Marsh
Zachary Marsh April 26, 2012
When has Aardman Animation, the creators of the popular 'Wallace and Gromit' shorts turned successful movie, ever made a bad film? Sure 'Arthur Christmas' was subpar, but it wasn't a terrible film by any means. Even though that is so, I was still a little worried about their latest flick, 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits.' The film is based on a series of popular novels by Gideon Defoe, in which the wacky Pirate Captain and his fine crew of pirates get themselves into some crazy adventures. Because this was an Aardman movie, I was instantly hooked because these guys are a part of my childhood just as much as Disney and DreamWorks were. I was also intrigued by the strong voice cast behind this film, including Hugh Grant in his first animated role ever. So when the opportunity came for me to see the movie and meet the director of the film, Peter Lord, at the screening, I knew I had to go. Luckily as it turned out, 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits' was hilarious and witty and all around great entertainment. If you want a fun time at the movies before 'Marvel's The Avengers' comes out, then take your 9 and older kid(s) to see this wonderful movie.
The main thing that they got right (other than the animation of the film) was the voice casting of Hugh Grant. Frankly I've never seen a Hugh Grant film in my life (except for snippets of 'Did You Hear About the Morgans?') but his portrayal of The Pirate Captain was absolutely magnificent. All of the jokes hit home runs do to Grant saying some of the funniest lines you'll hear in an animated film this year. This character is very dim witted, but that only adds to the comedy of the film. The rest of the cast, which includes famed British stars Martin Freeman and David Tennant were also great in this movie. Sure the voices could have been voiced by anyone, but all it takes is for one actor to own their role with justice, and my gosh does each cast member do that. Imelda Staunton, also known as Professor Dolores Umbridge in the 'Harry Potter' movies plays Queen Victoria, also known as the head villain of this movie. (surprise, surprise) While Staunton can get annoying for me sometimes as a villain, she was perfect as one Pirate hating vicious queen. However there are two voices that could have been voiced by anyone because they are small characters in the film, and they are played by Jeremy Piven and Salma Hayek. In the trailers it seems that their roles are big, but they really aren't. Other than them, the cast is fantastic and irreplaceable.
Stop motion is a spectacular form of animation. Aardman may be the top studio for this type of animation, but movies like 'Coraline' and 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' are also great entries into the animation clan. The animation in 'Pirates' looks very well done. Even though you can see similarities in these characters in other Aardman characters like 'Wallace and Gromit,' the characters in the film look very original and just plain funny in some situations. The whole scope of the film just looks glossy and very colorful, which is good for an animated movie. I just love the look of Aardman characters in general. There's just something about them that makes them stand out and become pure eye candy. With all good animation comes good 3D, and that is clearly proven in this film. While it could be just as acceptable if you saw it in 2D, the 3D in 'Pirates' is quite good and worth anyone's ticket price if they wanted to see it in the extra dimension or not. The characters look eye popping and the whole depth of the film makes you feel like you could jump into these wacky pirates, not even including a few parts where things pop out of the screening. Aardman is the leading studio in stop motion animation at the moment, and that is clearly proven in this movie.
'The Pirates! Band of Misfits' clearly isn't the best Aardman movie out there, but I did enjoy it more than 'Arthur Christmas.' If you're looking for some great comedy and a fantastic British cast giving off the voices of some of the wackiest characters that have graced the 3D screen in a while, then do yourself a favor and set sail with 'The Pirates! Band of Misfits.' The voices are great, especially Hugh Grant, the story is original and not what you're expecting, which is why I didn't give a plot synopsis in here at all. Most of all, the animation looks stellar and the 3D, while not needed, is really good. Director Peter Lord clearly had something special up his sleeve, as this is only his second film behind 'Chicken Run,' so I'm glad I got to see the film and meet the man in person. This is one of those rare kids' movies where adults and chaperones who take kids to this movie may enjoy it more than the kids. My audience consisted of about 40% kids, and they were barely laughing. However they did have a couple of questions to contribute to during the Q&A after the screening, so that proves that the kids were at least paying attention. Hell, you should just get a kid, take him or her to this movie, and just have a fun time. 'Pirates' is as fun as an animated movie can get. For being only 88 minutes long, this movie is definitely worth your time and money. So I would suggest you start sailing to your local theater and check this movie out. (yes I know that was a bad pirate joke)

Long Island Bar on Dorset Street was accused of showing two matches without a proper licence.
The Long Island Bar on Dorset Street.
A JUDGE GAVE one of Dublin's most famous pubs a red card yesterday for the unlawful showing of live Premier League soccer matches.
A Sky UK manager, Karen Anderson, told the Circuit Civil Court that the Long Island Bar, also known as Joxer Daly's, in Upper Dorset Street, Dublin, did not have a Clubs and Pubs Licence to broadcast live sport.
Barrister Gareth Hayden, who appeared with solicitors Eugene F Collins for Sky UK, told Judge Jacqueline Linnane that Edward Walsh, who trades as Long Island Bar and Joxer Dalys, had infringed Sky's broadcasting copyright.
He said Sky had acquired the exclusive rights for the broadcast of live sporting events, in particular English Football Association Premier League matches.
Mr Hayden said live sporting events were transmitted in an encrypted format and clubs and pubs licenced by Sky would receive a card for unencrypting the signal and broadcasting the events on their premises.
A private detective who visited Walsh's pub on two occasions said he had witnessed the unlicenced broadcasting of Premier League matches.
On 2 November, 2014 he watched, with pub customers, part of a match between Manchester City and Manchester United. A month later he had seen Manchester United beat Spurs 3 – 0.
He said that unlike television sets in Sky licenced premises, the television in Walsh's pub did not show the "pint glass" icon at the bottom right of the screen denoting that the broadcast was legal.
Mr Hayden told the court that despite having been written to on several occasions Mr Walsh had failed to take out a licence or to pay an outstanding royalties demand of €11,340.
Tim Dixon, counsel for Walsh, opposed any award of alleged arrears on the basis they had not been proved in court.
Judge Linnane granted Sky a permanent injunction restraining Walsh from infringing its copyright in broadcasts of live sporting events. Awarding Sky its legal costs the judge said she would make no order as to damages or arrears as she had not heard any proof of loss.

In India, medical complications mainly pertaining to the heart are on the rise. Cardiovascular ailments affect 30 million people annually, and close to two million people die of heart attacks every year. What is even more agonising is that common people can not afford important medical equipments.
Many hospitals loot the common people on the name of medicines and other medical equipments, taking advantage of the health of their family members. They do not give them the equipments on the MRP and charge them double amount. When 38-year-old lawyer Birender Sangwan came to know about it, he decided to fight against the system to bring justice to the common man.
Looting the common people
Back in 2014, Birender visited a hospital in Faridabad to meet his friend's brother who had undergone a heart surgery. Out of sheer curiosity, he decided to inspect the box of coronary stent, a tube that placed in an artery supplying the heart. But there was no MRP printed on the box.
On asking his friend, he came to know that the stent was bought at a whopping Rs 1,26,000. The hospital did not even provide a bill for it, and he couldn't get price details anywhere.
A coronary stent is a tube-shaped device fixed in the arteries to keep them open so as to ensure proper supply of blood to the heart. More than five lakh stents of various categories are used in India annually, most of them being imported from other countries. With cardiovascular diseases on the rise, the number of angioplasties being performed has doubled in the country in the past five years.
Birender the Messiah
This deeply affected Birender, to the extent that he filed an application under Right To Information to check how many hospitals in Delhi performed angioplasty using the stent and found that the pricing of the device varied from one hospital to another.
Hence, he filed a complaint against those hospitals to the Health Ministry of India. The RTI reply bewildered him. He came to know that cardiac stents were exempted from customs duty. On top of that, stents were notified as drugs but not covered under any price control mechanism in India because they were not included in the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM).
Birender was baffled to discover that the same stent was priced Rs 23,000 under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), whereas the private hospitals were charging hefty sums.
This enormous gap in pricing inspired him to file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in 2015 to get the device within the ambit of NLEM. But no heed was paid to this litigation for months. But he kept pursuing the matter.
In October 2016, he got a copy from the government that said that stents had been already put in the essential medicines list in July that year. The Health and Family Welfare Ministry had issued a notification on July 19, 2016 to include coronary stents in NLEM with immediate effect. But that was all. The next necessary step was still not taken, of the Department of Pharmaceuticals, which comes under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, notifying stents as a Schedule-I drug, without which it wouldn't be eligible for price control.
Birender 1 : Government 0
Finally, On December 7, 2016, the Delhi High Court asked the Centre on its stand on fixing the MRP of coronary stents. Then on December 22, the court gave the NDA government a deadline of March 1, 2017 to fix the MRP of coronary stents.
The government subsequently included stents in the first Schedule of the Drug Prices Control Order in December 2016 and on February 14, 2017, the government finally capped the prices of stents. The price of bare metal stents was capped at Rs 7,260 and drug-eluting stents at Rs 29,600.
"The major roadblock was dealing with widespread lobbying and influence of private hospitals and doctors. Various pharmaceutical companies and departments who were parties to the foul play also caused occasional problems," says Birender.
The impression of lawyers is often that of people who are trying to make money off every helpless client they come across. But it is people like Birender who restore the faith of the common man in their noble profession, and also in the judicial system of the country.

WASHINGTON - Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), a nonprofit research and education organization of 20,000 physicians, medical students and health professionals, responded to House Speaker Paul Ryan's decision to cancel a scheduled vote on the American Health Care Act (AHCA) today. With the AHCA dead on arrival, PNHP urges Congress to instead pass H.R. 676, the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act, which would provide immediate, comprehensive coverage to all Americans.
"The Republicans' slash-and-burn proposal would have pushed millions more Americans off their health insurance, sending the rates of medical bankruptcy and preventable deaths skyrocketing," said Dr. Carol Paris, president of PNHP.
Today's failure to pass the AHCA presents a unique opportunity for Congress to move beyond the ACA toward a permanent, economically sustainable single-payer health program.
Dr. Paris called on members of both parties to adopt H.R. 676, introduced by Rep. John Conyers Jr., D-Mich. The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act is a streamlined single-payer plan that would expand coverage to all Americans and save millions in health care costs, achieving President Trump's campaign promises of more coverage, better benefits and lower costs.
PNHP and other groups are planning a National Day of Action on Saturday, April 8, the first day of the congressional recess. Health care providers in at least a dozen cities will conduct coordinated actions in support of universal guaranteed health care.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut speaking to reporters in Mumbai on Wednesday. Photo/ANI
Sanjay Raut replies to Amit Shah, says BJP too used Balasaheb Thackeray's image to win for 25 years
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Nov 27 (ANI): After BJP President Amit Shah took a jibe at the Shiv Sena alleging that its candidates had won elections piggybacking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity, Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday retorted that even the BJP had been relying on the image of late Balasaheb Thackeray for the past many years to shore up votes.
"Amit Shah is the Home Minister and a very big politician. He sometimes speaks things that should not be spoken. For 25 years they used the posters of Balasaheb Thackeray to win elections in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, did we question them then?" Raut told reporters here.
Earlier today, Shah through a series of tweets had said that the popularity of Modi had a huge role to play in the winning of the Shiv Sena candidates in the recently held Assembly elections in Maharashtra.
"All of Shiv Sena candidates have won the elections by fighting with us. There is not a single MLA of theirs who did not put up Modiji's posters. In fact, their Vidhan Sabha (constituencies) had bigger cut-outs of Modiji than the ones of BJP. The people of the country and Maharashtra know this well," Shah said in a tweet from his official handle.
Further attacking the Congress and the NCP for luring the Shiv Sena with the promises of chief minister's chair, he said: "Is it not horse-trading to gain support by offering the chief minister's seat to someone? I ask Sharad and Soniaji to say that they will put their CM and then take support from the Shiv Sena. A 100 seat strong coalition (Congress-NCP) is offering the CM chair to a party with just 56 seats (Shiv Sena), this is horse-trading."
Meanwhile, upon being questioned about the fate of former deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, Raut said "Ajit Pawar Saab is still a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, whether he will be included in the state Cabinet or not will be decided by the senior (Sharad) Pawar."
Raut earlier today said that one shouldn't be surprised if his party comes to power in Delhi too.
"I have been saying this from the first day that we will form the government. I have said that our 'Suryaan' will land safely on the sixth floor of Mantralaya. But they everyone was laughing at us. But now our 'Suryayaan' has landed safely (Maine kaha tha,'hamara surya yaan mantrale ke chhate manjil par safely land karega',tab sab hass rahe the. Lekin hamare surya yaan ka safe landing hogaya)", Raut said.
Earlier yesterday, a delegation of NCP, Congress and Shiv Sena leaders met Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, following which it was announced that Uddhav Thackeray will take the oath of office and secrecy on November 28.
Leaders of Maha Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress in the state, had submitted a letter to the Governor announcing that Thackeray had been elected as the leader of the tri-party alliance. (ANI)

Valley Gardens Park was first awarded a prestigious Green Flag in 2008, and has maintained its flag ever since. It is close to the centre of town and has pleasant wooded walkways along the side of Butts Beck.
Valley Gardens was once just a dilapidated small open space. However, with the starting of an enthusiastic group of volunteers the park has been transformed into the exciting green-space we have today.
There are six pieces of equipment, including disabled access swings:
Infant: 3-5 year old
Junior: 5-14 year old
The playgrounds offer facilities for disabled users.
The park offers picnic benches on the grassed area next to the river.
Valley Gardens incorporates a great number of habitats in a small area which in turn supports a wide variety of wildlife including some very welcome bird species such as Dunnocks, Sparrows, Chaffinch and Goldcrest. Working closely with the Park Keeper Service the Working Group are ensuring a bright and varied future for the park, with plans to further improve the space for wildlife and the surrounding community. Valley Gardens stands as a proud example of ourselves and the public working together to make things better.
Many of the footpaths and walkways in the park are suitable for people with low mobility.
Valley Gardens has a very active Working Group who works alongside us maintaining the high standard of the park and help organise events and activities within the park itself.
