Have a product that is delivered to the consumer electronically. The consumer is a mom/pop retail outlet. Looking at deploying internationally first in Canada and then potentially elsewhere. What have you done or would you recommend on the pricing as it relates to which currency it should be priced in? We are slightly concerned about the US dollar losing value over time, but I am more concerned about the foreign currency accounting issues and tax concerns. These are low dollar monthly transactions of about $30 US. Has anyone explored this issue before? I have had little to no exposure in real world on currency issues at this point in career. Any recommendations? Any recommended resources? Thank you for any information/guidance.
Rule of thumb and best practice is that the currency of your cost should be your currency of price. So if your cost basis is USD then price USD. 1 caveat, how dominant are you in your market? If the product is strong, your position dominant you can get away with a lot. At $30 a pop I do not believe you should have a problem in that the desire for your product might offset local adversion to paying in USD.
If you get to the point that you need to price in local to move the product you can always hedge the forecasted bulk volume. Tricky with no experience in selling the product but it can be done. In another place during another time my company had a USD cost basis for a product that we were selling on line in 15 currencies. We hedged all the way the forcasted revenue.
There are two transaction points that matter: the sale into the channel and the sale to the end-user/consumer. The closer you get to the actual consumer, the greater the requirement to price in local currency. Most folks around the world expect local pricing for all goods when they go to the local market. If you are selling directly to small, local stores, they will almost certainly also expect to be billed in local currency. It's not until you are selling to distributors/importers that you can expect to find parties willing and expecting to pay in your home currency.
Someone must always carry the foreign exchange transaction risk. Importers accept that as part of the cost of doing business and tend to have banking arrangements in place to mitigate the risk. Thus, it is common practice to price in your home currency and let the importer set the local pricing. The closer you get to the consumer, the more difficult it is to defer that issue to your customer.
You state that your product is being delivered electronically. It sounds like a B2B product purchased over the internet. If sold through Amazon or ebay, currency is less of problem since such sites typically allow buyers to choose the payment currency. You set your price in your home currency and the buyer uses either the exchange rate offered by the site or the rate offered by the buyer's bank when settling the foreign exchange transaction. If you are running the product through your own e-store, your e-store software provider may well have the capability to allow purchasers currency options.
One consideration that you should investigate: when selling into countries that have value added tax regimes, make sure that your side of any transaction is not subject to regulatory oversight. While sales over the internet in the US are not generally subject to local sales tax, that is not the norm in countries with VAT regimes. If you haven't yet, you should think about talking to a local tax expert to make sure you haven't inadvertently opened up a tax liability.
Our experience (with ValuationUP.com) is that we price in USD for all customers. There are several reasons for this (a) our costs are largely is USD so we carry not risk matching exchange rates between revenues and costs, (b) most of our customers buy online and since so many products are USD priced this allows them to easily get a picture of relative value, and (c) we use PayPal for our billing which ends up charging clients credit cards in their local credit cards anyhow. In future we'll probably migrate to local currency billing (or at least 'major' currency billing), but that's not a priority for now.
I would not be concerned about selling in Canadian dollars. However, other countries are a much different story.
From my own experience, McAfee charges in US$ and I have no problem with that. As mentioned above, the exposure to you on many small currency exposures is more significant than one single exposure for your customer. I think most Canadians are okay with US$ purchases especially since the currencies are on par: the majority of us live near the border and always price -check against the US on big items. Just make sure it's absolutely clear on all your pricing (but especially at checkout) what currency you're using.
We advise our clients that if you are in a dominant position and your customer is an importer, then you probably could bill in USD and still achieve your sales and profit targets. If your client is a mom and pop retailer and used to buying in their local currency then they will have little experience and resources in pricing and managing FX risk. Studies show that they will add 3-10% to your $30 pricing to cover this risk. Now your services/products cost them $30.90-$33.00 (local currency equivalent). Will your customer still buy from you or will they buy from a local competitor?
We feel that the better way to maximize sales and profits would be to bill in their local currency and hedge part of your exposure with a forward contract. Forward contracts are simple hedging instruments that many times have little or no deposits. Holding bank accounts in Canada and all major/minor currency countries can cost zero to maintain with the right provider. Net costs to your company would be 0.40-1.5% for Canada/Europe, and your customer would know exactly what your services/products would cost: $30 (local currency equivalent). Your transaction/invoice size is fairly small so you would be at the top of this range.
In our opinion, Paypal/credit cards are the worst option. Not only do you pay 2.9% in interchange fees, your customers get billed Paypal/credit card company's spot foreign exchange rate which is an undefined rate that will again inflate your costs in your customers mind.
Btw, this logic works the opposite way as well. If you are paying your vendors in USD, then studies show that you are probably paying 3-10% more than you would if you paid them in their local currency.
Thanks for your question and all the comments. This was helpful to me as well.

Redick, Wright capture Naismith honors
Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) – Duke guard J.J. Redick was named the
Naismith Trophy Men's College Player of the Year, while Villanova's
Jay Wright was honored as the Naismith College Coach of the Year.
Redick led Duke to the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and tournament
titles, averaging 27.4 points per game, good for second in the country, as the
Blue Devils amassed a 32-4 record.
An All-American, Redick was named the ACC's Player of the Year for the second
year in a row, joining Danny Ferry as the only Duke players to accomplish the
feat. The senior, who is Duke's and the ACC's all-time leading scorer with
2,679 points, also converted an NCAA-record 457 three pointers.
Wright, the Big East Coach of the Year, led the Wildcats to a 28-5 record,
including 14-2 in the expanded Big East to earn the school's first share of
the conference regular season title since 1997.
Sparked by a unique four guard attack, Villanova defeated its first top-ranked
team, tied its highest national ranking (No. 2) and earned a number one seed
in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history, reaching the
Elite Eight.

Halite is also known as rock salt. The chemical name is sodium chloride NaCl It is called an evaporate. It forms in places where sea water has been isolated from the ocean forming a lake. As the saltwater evaporates in the lake the salt becomes concentrated in the remaining water. As the water continues to evaporate the lake can no longer hold the same amount of salt. The salt precipitates out and is deposited as crystallized sodium chloride or salt.
There are two areas in the United States where rock salt is currently being deposited, The Great Salt Lake in Utah and Searles Lake in California. The Great Salt Lake is the remains of a vast inland sea that has left salt deposits over much of North West Utah.
There are many places on earth where salt water lakes have been deposited in the past. Some of these deposits can be 400 meters thick! Some of these underground deposits are being mined for salt.
Halite normally forms perfect cubes, look at ordinary table salt with a magnifying glass.
Rock salt can be clear or have a pink cast to it. The pink color comes from bacterial debris that has been trapped in the salt crystals.
The easy way to identify sodium chloride is by taste. First lick your finger, then touch the mineral in question, finally taste your finger. If it tastes salty it is halite. Never lick a specimen for the taste test! There are poisonous minerals that resemble halite. By using your finger you can keep yourself safe.
Halite has many uses. We get our table salt from it. In cold climates salt is used to control ice on roads and sidewalks. It is used to soften water and as an ore for sodium and chlorine.

Vietnam falls far short of its committment to freedom of expression, report says
Vietnam has a long way to go before it can realize its goal of joining the UN Human Rights council, according to the Vietnam Human Rights Network (VNHRN). The pressure group points to Vietnam's treatment of journalists, who the government says are protected from all forms of discrimination and violence.
"In fact, the arrests and imprisonment of those who use the right to freedom of expression to voice their opinions are at their peak," the report said. From the beginning of 2021 to May 31 this year, VNHRN said at least 48 people were arrested and detained, and 72 were given heavy sentences.
"Most of them were convicted for allegedly using the media to express their opinions and aspirations other than the ruling party's. To our knowledge, Vietnamese authorities currently imprison at least 290 political and religious prisoners with multi-year sentences," the report said.
Along with restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and information, VNHRN's president Nguyen Ba Tung told RFA the government is ignoring many more basic human rights, describing the 2019 labor law as an empty promise and also criticizing the government's track record on religion.
"Regarding the right to religious freedom, the government has increased its control and manipulation of religious organizations and eliminated non-registered religious groups," he said, adding that the government has promoted political dogma over religious faith.
"We raised the issue of children being indoctrinated in schools as well as in organizations like Uncle Ho's Good Children – an issue that has not been raised in any international report on the issue of children's rights."
Nguyen said that no international research agency has talked about the discrimination faced by non-party members no matter how well they had served the country in the past.
"Someone raised the fact that military officers must be party members, which violates the basic rights of people in the political sphere and even as a citizen in defending one's homeland," he said.
VNHRN's report covers last year and the first few months of 2022. It was put together with help from several activists in Vietnam. The study focuses on the areas outlined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Conventions on Human Rights that Vietnam has committed to observing. Those rights are: liberty, security of person, a fair trial by an independent, impartial tribunal; the right to participate in national political life, freedom of expression and information, freedom of religion and worship; the right to work and enjoy the fruits of that labor, equal treatment and non-discrimination, and well-being.
VNHRN said the aim of the report is to alert the world about what it called "the alarming human rights situation in Vietnam today." The report also offers the Vietnamese government what VNHRN called "concrete and feasible recommendations for the Vietnamese government to terminate its repeated violations throughout the years."
VNHRN said that until Vietnam improved its human rights record members of the United Nations General Assembly should vote against Vietnam's membership of its Human Rights Council.

Those who use Outlook.com know how Microsoft has improved the service, and given users one of the best email services available. On Monday, word came out about possible apps for the Outlook.com service. These apps could transform Outlook.com into more than just an email online service.
The rumors about upcoming app for Outlook.com trickled out on Monday, and all circulate around the upcoming BUILD conference. What we could see later this week, could be a lot of simple apps from developers, to complex applications from big name developers. Many await what we could see later at BUILD.
The news about the apps for Outlook.com came as Microsoft started to leak the Build 2015 developers conference schedule. In the schedule, it states that developers can build in under 5 minutes, an app that could be listed in one store, and have it appear in Outlook.com, Outlook desktop, and Office 365.
This leads a lot to wonder about, and leads a lot to think about whether Microsoft will be opening up an API for Outlook.com. By giving app developers easy access to all of these programs with ease, it could give developers of all size a new productivity app to build, or one that enterprise users could use as well.
With the current version of Outlook for Office 365, users are able to use add-ins and apps, but never before with Outlook.com. The ability to let developers create a single app that they can use, could rapidly transform the Outlook and Outlook.com services. How easy they are to create will be the big question.
Microsoft is expected to show off the Office as a platform as well this week during the BUILD conference in San Francisco. It all starts on Wednesday, and should be very interesting. Developers are expecting to see the touch screen version of Office along with the future platform for them to build upon soon.
Build is coming and Microsoft knows that. Slight teases mean a full week ahead for them.


The British Army has contained many famous units throughout its long history, ranging from the 95th Rifles of the Napoleonic era through to the SAS. Counted amongst them is the Gurkhas, Nepalese soldiers who have fought alongside the British forces since the first Gurkha unit was raised in 1815 following the Anglo-Nepalese War. This week we'll be covering the British Army's Gurkha units during the Cold War period, featuring an brief overview of their history, training and some role play material and suggestions.
With Frozen Skies currently in layout and a (hopeful) release of some point in the next 2-3 months, its time to take a look at a future project. Skies of Crimson is one of those future project and is a supplement for Frozen Skies that focuses mainly on the sky pirates aspect of the setting. This week's post is more of a brainstorm/list of initial ideas of stuff that I'd like to include in the book, course there's no telling what may end up in the final product.
And remember folks, the Kickstarter starts Monday 2nd October!
Recently found myself thinking about a setting idea I posted about early last year, basically fleshing it out a bit more. The core idea remains unchanged, just thought of a few addition to better round out the idea and make it more interesting. Also settled upon the name of 'Forsaken Space' for the setting.
Lying across the Mammut Sea south of the 'core' nations of Darmonica is the ancient kingdom known as the Sultanate of Taramate. It is said to be older than the Kingdom of Tyland, though much about the Sultanate is veiled in secrecy. Outsiders are generally restricted to a handful of ports on the Mammut Sea coast, though permission had grudgingly been given for a small number of expeditions to the interior over the years. Recently relations have been struck with the Artian Confederation and a small but growing Artian military presence has been established.

Duran Duran, Paolo Nutini to play huge London Olympics show
Duran Duran, Snow Patrol, Paolo Nutini and Stereophonics will all play a huge show in London's Hyde Park this summer to mark the start of the Olympics.

While this show will act as an accompaniment to the opening ceremony, Blur will headline a show in Hyde Park to celebrate the end of the games. They will be joined by New Order and The Specials on August 12 for the gig.


Believe it or not, a Portland Police officer was arrested while "on call" for DUI and crashing after driving over 100mph in his department car. Officer Daniel Chastain was seen by witnesses driving in a black car over 100mph when he came to a "roundabout", could not slow down enough, and crashed into a red truck. Police investigators say that speed and alcohol were what contributed to the crash according to reports according to reports. Chastain was not on duty by was "on call" and driving a city of Portland owned car when he crashed. He had been assigned to the Gang Enforcement Team and had been a member of the force for 17 years.
Chastain crashed his car into another driver in a truck who complained of shoulder pain, but neither were seriously hurt. Chastain faces charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and first-degree criminal mischief.

Hanning: Germany doesn't support PKK's 'separatism'
The idea that Germany was involved in the failed coup attempt in Turkey is 'completely stupid'.
Dr. August Hanning in 2005. [File Photo/AP]
The former chief of Germany's Foreign Intelligence Agency (BND) has rejected claims that his country was becoming a safe haven for the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) group.
Ankara has long-criticized its NATO partner for turning a blind eye to the activities of PKK in Germany.
Here is what Hanning told Anadolu's news agency about the PKK in Germany and the "Gulen group":
PKK in Germany
Banned: Hanning, who headed the BND between 1998 and 2005, underlined that the PKK has been banned in Germany since 1993, and authorities were taking measures against the activities of the group.
"We are not encouraging the PKK, not at all. We are not encouraging separatism in Turkey. I can assure you that it is not the policy of our German government," August Hanning told Anadolu news agency.
"I know from the past that Turkey has suffered severe terrorist attacks. And some of them have had some links to Germany," Hanning said, without elaborating.
"We are both fighting terrorism, and we have a lot of common interests on security issues," he said.
The PKK is listed as a "terrorist" organisation in Turkey, the European Union and US.
Democracy: "But on the other side, we have to respect our own liberal framework, our legal framework, and that's sometimes very difficult to explain it to our Turkish friends," he said.
"We have a very liberal democracy in Germany. And everybody is allowed to express his views," he added.
Ties between Ankara and Berlin were strained after the 2016 failed coup in Turkey, as Turkish politicians heavily criticised their German counterparts for failing to show strong solidarity with Turkish government against the attempted military takeover.
"Traditionally, we are really friends and I hope that they could look into the future. But we need efforts from both sides to have a better relationship," Hanning said.
Turkey and Germany took steps in recent months towards normalisation, and intensified talks to address their political differences on a number of issues.
Gulen group
Several commentators in Turkish media argued that the coup plotters were backed by several Western countries, and they also speculated that several Western intelligence services might have been involved.
But Hanning ruled out any involvement by Germany's foreign intelligence agency, saying: "It's completely stupid. We do not have any interest to interfere in the internal Turkish politics. I can assure you, it is completely nonsense."
According to Ankara, hundreds of Turkish citizens with suspected ties to the coup attempt were granted asylum.
German authorities declined to return the suspects, citing concerns about human rights and the rule of law.
"The Gulen group is active here in Germany, but it is under the radar of the German security forces," Hanning said.

Ich begrüße Sie, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen.
Ich spreche über "Die Kasuistik als Verifikationswerkzeug".
Der Begriff "Verifikation" leitet sich vom Lateinischen ab. "Verificare" heißt "die Wahrheit erweisen". In der Homöopathie spricht man von Verifikation, wenn ein Symptom, das in der Arzneiprüfung auftrat, bei einem Kranken geheilt wird. Wenn also das Prüfungssymptom den Praxistest besteht. Mit Verifikationen verbessern und erweitern wir die Materia medica.
Patient hat Symptome A, B, C, D.
Ich habe einen Patienten mit den Symptomen A, B, C und D. Ich gebe die Arznei X und das Symptom B verschwindet dauerhaft. Das bedeutet, ich habe das Symptom B durch die Arznei X verifiziert, vorausgesetzt, es ist ein Prüfungs-Symptom der Arznei X.
Frau A., 37 Jahre, hat seit drei Jahren ständige Magenbeschwerden, sie hat das Gefühl eines Klumpens im Magen wie ein schweres Gewicht oder einen Stein. Dieses Gefühl wechselt mit Heißhunger ab. Seit zwei Jahren ist sie verfroren. Oft traurig in letzter Zeit. Verstopfte Nase.
Schmerz mitten im Bauch…; es lag da wie ein Klumpen fest… (CK5, Nr. 666).
Aufgrund der Gesamtheit ihrer Symptome gebe ich Frau A. Sepia Q3.
In den ersten drei Wochen verschwinden die Traurigkeit und die Frostigkeit. Unter Sepia Q6 und Q9 heilen die Magenbeschwerden und die anderen Symptome vollständig innerhalb der nächsten fünf Wochen. Nachbeobachtungszeit sechs Jahre.
Dennoch ist dieser Fall keine besondere Verifikation. Ich bin überzeugt, dass Sepia für dieses Symptom schon hunderte Male verifiziert worden ist. Der Fall zeigt nur, dass wir keine Kultur mit Verifikationen haben, sonst stände das Symptom heute schon dreiwertig im Repertorium. Wir sind bei den Verifikationen auf dem Stand von Kent stehengeblieben!
Für eine Verifikation muß das Mittel den Patienten nicht endgültig geheilt haben. Es müssen auch nicht alle Symptome verschwinden. Verifikation heißt, dass das Mittel ein oder mehrere Prüfungssymptome eindeutig weggenommen hat.
29.03.1913: Eine Dosis (ein Pulver) Stannum M von Boericke & Tafel.
18.05.1913: Der Husten ist verschwunden und sie kommt schnell wieder zu Kräften.
Im Kent Repertorium ist Stannum bei den Symptomen hochgradig vertreten: Grünlicher Auswurf – dreiwertig; salziger Auswurf – zweiwertig; Leeregefühl der Brust, Schwäche in der Brust und Schwäche in der Brust nach Husten sind jeweils dreiwertig im Kent.
Aber: Die Patientin ist noch nicht geheilt. Sie hat neue Symptome, ein schwaches, nagendes Gefühl im Magen um 11 Uhr, und Verstopfung mit vergeblichem Stuhldrang: Eine Dosis Sulfur M heilt die restlichen Symptome.
(1) Einzelne Symptome einer chronischen Krankheit werden im Behandlungsverlauf eindeutig verifiziert.
(2) Eine chronische Krankheit wird über Jahre mit einem oder meist mehreren Mitteln geheilt.
Das relativiert Fragen wie: "Was ist Heilung?" "Bedeutet Heilung, dass alle Symptome des Kranken geheilt sind?" "Bedeutet Heilung, dass er auf Jahre nie wieder chronisch krank werden darf?" usw.
Sie sehen: Verifikationen werden als Kasuistiken vorgestellt. Ich nenne Ihnen heute die Angaben, die eine Kasuistik meiner Meinung nach enthalten muß, damit man sie als Verifikation verwerten kann.
Welche Angaben der Fallbericht enthält, variiert je nach Epoche und Autor. Es gibt seitenlange Fälle wie dieser hier von Carlos Cámpora, der über sieben Seiten Din-A-4 Seiten geht, mit einer sehr ausführlichen Darstellung der Geistes- und Gemüts¬symptome – oft in den eigenen Worten des Patienten -, einer Darstellung der Allgemeinsymptome, mit Angaben zur Vorgeschichte, eine detaillierte Fallanalyse, Repertorisation und Differentialdiagnose der Arzneien, ein ausführlicher Verlauf.
This paper is a shortened version of the ideas presented by Dr. Cámpora at the 60th LIGA-Congress in Berlín on May 2005. Upon the request of the editor of the magazine, one case out of seven is presented and analyzed in more depth. The research based on high-quality case reports is one of the most useful tools to understand and improve the outcomes of homeopathic prescriptions. Since before Hippocrates' times, the report of clinical cases has been a valuable source for medical teaching and research . Along with the appearance of the Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) and its focus on the controlled and randomized clinical assays, the reporting of cases started to be considered the lowest step in the knowledge pyramid of the EBM . Therefore, it is not in fashion, so to speak, to base the practice of the medicine in the knowledge arising from cases. However, our homeopathic practice, as well as the pathogenetic research has been historically based on the information obtained from cured cases which allow the clinical verification of known symptoms and, also, recognize new symptoms.
I believe that homeopaths need and must go on making case-based-research, but we must concentrate our efforts in the research of high-quality cases, because these cases, actually are one of the most useful tools to understand and improve the outcomes of the treatment, and to deepen the knowledge of our materia medica. To account for this position, this paper presents a severe case in one of the most challenging and difficult areas for the homeopathic physician, as is homeopathic psychiatry. The presented case has been incorporated to BRECHA (Banco de Reporte y Estudio de Casos Homeopáticos de Argentina) Report and Study Casebank of Homeopathic Cases of Argentina. , which requires a rigorous standard of presentation, documentation and assessment of outcomes. At the homeopathic casebank of BRECHA, principles of qualitative research such as independent review are used: Consultations are videotaped and a full transcription is made; the latter records such details as pauses, gestures and facial expressions. Transcriptions are performed by an independent person. The data for each patient are highly documented (see Tab. 1) and are obtained from multiple and different sources (Tab. 2). All cases are subjected to a two-independent peer review. Of herself, she says: "I'm very happy, I make jokes all the time … very responsible, exaggeratedly. I was raised to win a prize in everything, to be perfect. Of the others, I do not expect perfection but the minimum, and I assess with the response if they love me as I love them or, at least, I assess that, how they love me with their response … If there is no response, I start disregarding them, as if they do not occupy the same place as they would; before, I would call them and reproach; I would call them with anger, because I felt neglected, abandoned. Has this happened in other circumstances in your life? Yes. When? Well, when my dad would go out of the hooouse (her voice starts to break) … abandonment, abandonment but the whole time … Ah! Yes, please, tell me. (She cried; there was a long pause) My father used to slam the door and went out of my house, that was all the time.
What did you feel? (She cried) No, I cannot describe that because … (crying) Look, you can do it because you are feeling that now. (Pause) I am moved, but I want to see myself there, a little girl, and in that place (crying), and that was death (she weeps with grief) Why was it death, dear? Because he was my father. So, did he slam the door angrily? Yes (her voice can be barely heard upon answering) Did he go out? Yes. (barely audible) And what did you do? I remained alone (crying) saying that we would no longer come back … So, being alone was to be how? Without anything, it's like, I was very poor, and my house was a great burden at that time; the house was sad, it was, let's say, dirty, ugly, the place that I had, I could say, was even wet, it didn't give me health, and when I was little I was always ill, I didn't eat, I was inappetent, I was anemic … So he used to slam the door and went out … that he would never return and I was alone …? Without …. Without what …? I see myself very tiny, and I cannot say without, without what … because I know what I was, without my father, without the security, let's say, nothing was certain at that time. He hugged me, he made me sleep, he held me in his arms, he pampered me, he defended me from my sisters … I don't know if my sisters were different from me, well, the security, I don't know, the love, all the love, the affection, everything, everything went away (pause) and (she remains in a position in which she hugs herself tight, holding herself, with both arms crossed).
Fears of things to be definitive; she believes a word or a situation defines something. For example, the death of her mother, or her own death, or that she will never get married or that she will not have children; very intense fear that somebody made her something inside her body; for example, doctors' ligation of tubes or that she has been stolen an embryo and that she may have had a child without her knowledge. Another fear her father may have been killed. She hears voices, of her boyfriend or voices naming her niece. She was a bad student at University, she had to re-attend subjects and did badly at the exams. Before them, she became ill and when she was a child, during all the elementary school, she had vomits before leaving for school. …But now these ailments do not appear in stressful situations. She is sensitive and she feels hurt if she sees a child in the street, in a pitiful situation, and so does she if she sees an abandoned little dog going around in the street.
Physical examination: without abnormalities. Past history: recurring upper airways infections in childhood and adolescence; coxalgias; cervical arthrosis. Family Antecedents: not significant.
Viele Fälle vor 1930 sind ähnlich wie der gerade gezeigte prägnante Fall von Case. Schauen Sie noch einmal, wie wenige Angaben Case macht.
sie kommt schnell wieder zu Kräften.
um 11 Uhr. Verstopfung mit vergeblichem Stuhldrang.
Ein Pulver Sulfur M vervollständigt die Heilung.
Case nennt das Geschlecht, Alter, macht eine Bemerkung zur Konstitution, das Datum der Behandlung, die Hauptbeschwerde, seit wann sie besteht. Er nennt alle charakteristischen Symptome, auch schwere/ intensive Symptome wie die Erschöpfung. Die heilende Arznei, den Namen des Herstellers und einen kurzen Verlauf (18.5.).
Es treten neue Symptome auf. Gefühl im Magen um 11 Uhr. Verstopfung mit vergeblichem Stuhldrang. Eine Dosis Sulfur M heilte die restlichen Symptome.
Selbst diese kurze Kasuistik enthält eine Menge an Informationen!
Fehlt etwas? Die Arzneiwahl wurde in diesen frühen Kasuistiken meist nicht begründet, ein Materia medica-Vergleich wurde nur selten gemacht.
Backache persistent, worse when lying down, better walking, had defied many remedies. History of angenoid attacks. TABACUM CM cured.
Boger CM: Collected Writings. Hrsg. R. Bannan. London: Churchill Livingstone; 1994: 280.
Ferrum iod. 2x. Soft goitre in chlorotic girls at the age of puberty. Two very prompt cures.
Boger CM: CollectedWritings. Hrsg. R. Bannan. London: Churchill Livingstone; 1994: 326.
Boger schreibt nur noch ein geheiltes Symptom bzw. einen Befund auf! Wir sind jetzt von einem 7-Seiten langen Fallbericht bei einer einzigen Zeile angelangt! Wenn Boger seine geheilten Fälle so gekürzt bringt, heißt das für die Dokumentation einer Verifikation dürfen wir unsere Fälle auf eine Zeile verkürzen?
Die früheren Herausgeber der ZKH haben das wahrscheinlich so gesehen. Von 1987 bis 1994 wurden in der ZKH Verifikationen veröffentlicht, die sich an diese Vorbilder der Literatur anlehnen. Im Kapitel 'Verifikationen und klinische Symptome' stehen keine langen Kasuistiken, sondern eine Verifikation extrahiert aus einer Kasuistik. Außerdem wird die Materia medica-Quelle genannt.
Der ganze Fall ist auf eine Zeile reduziert.
Die Kollegen, die Verifikationen einreichten, waren fast ausschließlich renommierte Homöopathen wie Will Klunker, Georg von Keller, K.S. Srinivasan, Klaus-Henning Gypser, Martin Furlenmeier usw.
Inwieweit hängt eigentlich die Akzeptanz einer Verifikation vom Renommée eines Homöopathen ab?
Hier werden nur die Arznei, das geheilte Symptom, indirekt das Geschlecht und der Autor genannt. Hering schreibt nichts über die Patientin selbst, über ihr Alter, das Datum der Behandlung oder die Nachbeobachtungszeit – nichts!
Was denken Sie über diese Mitteilung, ist sie glaubwürdig?
Also ich glaube sie. Ich persönlich halte Constantin Hering für sehr kompetent. Dasselbe gilt für Mitteilungen von Adolf Lippe oder z.B. von Pierre Schmidt. Ich nehme an, auch Sie glauben deren Mitteilungen – weil Sie diesen Kollegen vertrauen, weil Sie andere Fälle und Bücher von ihnen kennen, die ihre Glaubwürdigkeit gezeigt haben.
Hering liefert immerhin ein neues klinisches Symptom eines eher seltenen Mittels, Lobelia! Ich würde diesen "Fall" von Hering, oder besser dieses Fällchen in die Materia medica übernehmen.
Sie kennen Herrn Kowalski nicht. Glauben Sie ihm diese Mitteilung trotzdem?
Warum reicht mir das nicht, was Kowalski schreibt?
Weil ich nicht weiß, ob seine Angaben zuverlässig beobachtet sind. Hering glaube ich das, aber von Herrn Kowalski möchte ich mehr Informationen.
Sie sehen aber an diesem Beispiel, dass Verifikation nicht gleich Verifikation ist, sondern auch von der mitteilenden Person abhängt.
(1) Es gibt einerseits Fälle von mehreren Seiten. Andererseits kann eine Verifikation effektiv in drei Sätzen (denken Sie an Case) oder in einem Satz (Beispiel ZKH) vermittelt werden.
(2) Der Autor der Verifikation ist möglicherweise völlig unbekannt.
Das verifizierte Symptom bzw. geheilte klinische Symptom.
Der Patient mit Alter, Geschlecht und Beruf. Die genauen Lebensverhältnisse müssen nicht angegeben werden. Das Datum der Behandlung.
Die Hauptbeschwerde, ggf. die klinische Diagnose. Die Dauer und der Schweregrad der Krankheit. Ein detaillierter Krankheitsverlauf ist nicht erforder-lich.
Die charakteristischen Symptome nach Hahnemann, d.h. näher bestimmte (§153, §165), seltene (§178) oder besonders auffallende Symptome (§95, §153 ORG). Aus der Fallbeschreibung sollte hervorgehen, warum diese Symptome charakteristisch sind. Besonders markante, sicher beobachtete Symptome können kursiv gesetzt werden.
Es sollten alle charakteristischen Symptome genannt werden, auch solche die nicht zur Arzneiwahl führten oder nicht repertorisierbar sind. Auf diese Weise werden bisher unbe¬kannte Arznei¬symptome gefunden.
Intensive uncharakteristische Symptome wie starke Abmagerung, Schwäche, Schwindel, Blässe, Atemnot. Diese Symptome vervollständigen das Gesamtbild und zeigen, unter welchen Begleitsymptomen die betreffende Arznei wirkt.
Die übrigen uncharakteristischen Symptome, d.h. unbestimmte, häufige Symptome wie Kopfschmerz, Appetitlosigkeit, gestörter Schlaf (§153 ORG) müssen nicht aufgeführt werden.
Auffallende pathologische Befunde wie z.B. ein rissiger Mundwinkel, eine Landkartenzunge.
Laborbefunde und andere diagnostische Befunde (z.B. Röntgen, Ultraschall) können, müssen aber nicht genannt werden.
Der Auslöser der Krankheit, ein Kummer, unterdrückter Hautausschlag usw. Ein möglicher Auslöser muß speziell begründet werden.
Frühere Krankheiten, wenn sie für diesen Fall ein wesentlicher Hinweis für die Arzneiwahl waren (z.B. bei früherer Infektion mit TBC).
Familiäre Krankheiten, wenn sie ein wesentlicher Hinweis für die Arzneiwahl waren, z.B. TBC in der Familie.
Die Arznei inkl. Potenz, Dosierung und Hersteller.
Eine stichwortartige Begründung der Arzneiwahl. Die Differentialdiagnose der in Frage kommenden Arzneien ist nicht erforderlich, ebensowenig die Darstellung des Repertorisationsergebnisses.
Parallelbehandlungen, die während der Behandlung stattfanden, z.B. Akupunktur oder eine Gesprächstherapie. Es muß genau begründet werden, warum die Heilung auf die homöopathische Arznei und nicht auf die Parallelbehandlung zurückgeführt wird!
Eine kurze zusammenfassende Darstellung des Verlaufs. Detaillierte Ereignisse aus dem Behandlungsverlauf wie eine Erstverschlimmerung, interkurrente Erkrank¬ungen, eine Heilung nach der Hering´schen Regel usw. können ausgelassen werden.
Optional können konstitutionelle Symptome (z.B. Verlangen nach frischer Luft) sowie auffällige körperliche Merkmale (sog. "indikative" Symptome wie z.B. ein Arcus senilis (indikativ für Arzneien wie Lyc., Sulf.) angegeben werden.
8.02.07: Herr B., 39 Jahre, Schreinermeister, etwas adipös, leidet seit 20 Jahren an allergischem Asthma, das sich in den letzten Jahren weiter verschlimmert.
Asthma < in warmen, stickigen Räumen, beim Eintreten in einen warmen Raum, bei Wetterwechsel zum Warmen, besser in frischer kühler Luft. Allgemeine Abneigung gegen warme Räume. Atemnot < abends, durch Staub, verschiedene Nahrungsmittel (Paprika, Apfel), bei Anstrengung. Ständiges Pfeiffen über den Bronchien, nachts Engegefühl. Grünlicher Auswurf. Husten nach warmen Essen oder bei warmen Wasserdampf.
Weitere Symptome: Reichlicher grüner Schleim aus der Nase morgens und tagsüber.
Nase abends verstopft. Niesen beim Sehen in die Sonne. Im Frühjahr und August/September Heuschnupfen mit starkem Augenjucken und -brennen.
Oft Angina. Häufige Anginen in der Kindheit. Als Kleinkind Impfung gegen Tuberkulose.
Puls., Tub. und Iod. beenden die Infektanfälligkeit und die Augensymptome, bessern die Allergien, führen aber zu keiner endgültigen Ausheilung des Asthmas. Cortison und ein Antiallergicum wurden initial abgesetzt.
21.3.08: Kalium iodatum C30 (Gudjons) morgens und abends jeweils ein Globulus pur.
Das Mittel wird fünf Wochen gegeben. Keine Parallelbehandlung.
Schon nach vier Tagen kein Schnupfen mehr, innerhalb von zehn Tagen sind alle asthmatischen Symptome verschwunden. Kein Niesen mehr in der Sonne, keinerlei allergische Reaktionen auf Lebensmittel oder Staub.
Durch Verifikationen verbessern wir unsere Materia medica und machen die Mittelwahl immer sicherer. Ich lade Sie ein: Dokumentieren Sie Ihre Heilungen!
Ab Januar 2009 gibt es wieder eine Rubrik 'Verifikationen' in der ZKH. Schicken Sie die Kasuistiken an die ZKH oder an die neue InHom-Wissenschafts-gesellschaft. Tragen Sie durch Heilungsmitteilungen zur Verbesserung der Materia medica bei!
¹Die Prüfungssymptome 'grünlicher und salziger Auswurf' werden verifiziert.
Die 'Schwäche und Leerheit in der Brust nach Husten' ist ein klinisches Symptom von Stannum, das hier bestätigt wird. Schon in der Prüfung gibt es Hinweise auf das Symptom – ein Beispiel dafür, wie klinische Symptome Prüfungssymptome genauer charakterisieren!
Scharriger Husten, anfänglich lösend, mit grünlichem Auswurfe von widrigem, süsslichtem Geschmacke… (RA VI 123).
Salzig schmeckender Brust-Auswurf (RA VI 125).
Von Zeit zu Zeit, ein Kotzhusten, wie aus Schwäche der Brust, ohne allen andern Husten-Reiz und ohne Auswurf … mit einem heisern, ganz schwachen Laute, weil's ihm an Kraft der Brust fehlte (RA VI A221). Vormittags, Schleim in der Luftröhre, welcher durch leichte Husten-Stösse ausgeworfen wird, bei einer ungemeinen Schwäche der Brust, als wäre sie ausgeweidet… (RA VI A222).


The Misener Family is headed to Rock Rapids, Iowa. This will be our last move of the 2011 season. The crops are progressing quite nicely. They are turning from green to brown, and ready to harvest. This area had an early frost, and some crops weren't ready for a cold snap. This may result in smaller soybeans that may be green, and wet. Let's just hope this isn't the case, and we have a fantastic fall like we did last year in the South Dakota/Iowa area.
As we wait on the fall crops to mature we're working on a few odds and ends. As I've mentioned in my previous post, Thad and Christoph are no longer here so it seems like an empty house with just Mom, Dan, Joel, and I to take care of business. My Aunt Sonja and cousin Lee will be helping us out off and on throughout the fall season. We don't run as many combines during fall harvest as we do during wheat harvest. The farmer we're cutting for has hired men of his own to help out with the trucking side of things. We'll be running three of our combines through soybean harvest. We'll then move to corn and run only two machines. Our trucks will be hot on the road trying to keep up with us. This means if you're driving – watch out for truck traffic while harvest is still full throttle.
Since we've moved to Rock Rapids we miss the Price family (Dave, Julie and Andy). Our visit was enjoyable and we shared a lot of laughs with good friends. We have been in the Sioux Falls area for nearly a month now, so we're ready to move on. It looks like soybean harvest is about a week away.
Until next time, Be safe and God bless!

Q: Jquery/Javascript Issue I'm new to query/javascript and having a problem with the following code to calculate a gross value and tax amount based
on the net amount the user enters. The user will enter a double amount and the gross and vat amounts are also defined as doubles.
Can anyone help? I get an error: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected number" when i try running the following code.
                $('#netPayment').change(calcLowerVatRateAndGrossAmount);
                /* $('#netPayment').change(function(){
                    calcLowerVatRateAndGrossAmount();
                }); */
    });

    function calcVatRateAndGrossAmount(){
        var netPayment = parseFloat($('#netPayment').val());
        var vatAmount = 00.0;
        var VatRate = 20.0;
        var grossPayment = 0.00;
        var totalPaymentAmount = 0.00;
        if (netPayment !== '') {
            vatAmount = (netPayment * VatRate) / 100;
            grossPayment = (netPayment - vatAmount);
            $('#vatAmount').val(parseFloat(vatAmount.data).toFixed(2));
            $('#grossPayment').val(parseFloat(grossPayment.data).toFixed(2));
        } else {
            $('#vatAmount').val(vatAmount.amountNull);
            $('#grossPayment').val(grossPayment.amountNull);
        }
    };

A: So you calculate a number here
vatAmount = (netPayment * VatRate) / 100;

And in here, you treat vatAmount as an object that has a key data
$('#vatAmount').val(parseFloat(vatAmount.data).toFixed(2));

You should just be using the variable. A simple test
console.log("variable itself: ", vatAmount);
console.log("key data: ", vatAmount.data);

So you would need to just do
$('#vatAmount').val(vatAmount.toFixed(2));
$('#grossPayment').val(grossPayment.toFixed(2));

You do the same thing with grossPayment and you reference some other property vatAmount.amountNull
$('#vatAmount').val(vatAmount.amountNull);
$('#grossPayment').val(grossPayment.amountNull);

should be
$('#vatAmount').val("");  //or any error message
$('#grossPayment').val("");

The Story of People promises to deliver an ambitious goal–summarize the history of humankind on earth in a book digestible for children–and it does an amazing job parsing two million years into around forty pages.
Barr and Williams begin when dinosaurs went extinct but small mammals survived the asteroid that killed so much life on earth. From there, readers learn about hunter and gatherer societies, the formation of towns, trade, the development of government, the influence of religion, to the industrial revolution, and today's amazing technological developments.
They don't shy away from difficult topics such as the slave trade, war, and climate change, though their message is one of cooperation and hopefulness.
Completed in a style I particularly like, Amy Husband's illustrations are somewhat cartoon-like, colorful, playing with perspective, and with new details every time you look at the page.
The book includes a running timeline and a helpful glossary.
For an audience of six-to-nine-year-olds, The Story of People does deliver a full, though concise history that will also certainly inspire questions and provoke discussion. A must for libraries, this is also a great book to have at home.
Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group, Frances Lincoln Children's Books for providing an advance reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
When I was younger, I went to a Montessori school, so I thought I was familiar with the Montessori technique. Although I did know about the method, I certainly knew very little about the woman who developed it.
Maria Montessori, a new board book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series offers a condensed biography of this pioneering educator designed to be read aloud to babies and toddlers.
Although Maria loved to learn, she thought school was boring and made up games to enliven lessons. She was the only girl in an all-boys technical institute, and the first woman in Italy to study medicine. At times, she was segregated from the male students and had to study cadavers alone. In her first job, working at a hospital for disabled children, she changed the approach to treatment with wondrous effects. She realized her methods would work for all children, and she opened a school. Maria taught her technique all over the world, helping make learning more fun and developing thoughtful learners and critical thinkers. Vegara's story doesn't just capture Maria's life but holds out a promise of what we all can be.
Martín's illustrations are fabulous, colorful and vibrant, and they reflect gender, race, and ethnic diversity.
Both young readers and the people who read to them will learn from and enjoy this interesting biography of Maria Montessori, and it would be a great addition to any child's home library.
Shortly after beginning Say Nothing, I realized how little I knew of The Troubles. Although Keefe would be the first to admit his book isn't a comprehensive history, I found it an intriguing segway into this difficult time in Northern Ireland's history.
Say Nothing centers on four figures: Jean McConville, a thirty-eight year old mother of ten who was taken from her home by a group of intruders in December 1972 as her children hung from her limbs; Dolours Price, a young, glamorous IRA volunteer who lead the team that perpetrated the March 1973 London bombings and subsequently became infamous, with her sister Marian, for a prolonged hunger strike; Brendan Hughes, master IRA tactician, head of the D Company, the feared "Dirty Dozen"; and Gerry Adams, a leading figure in the peace talks and the Sinn Féin party who disavowed his IRA past.
The book, which reads like a novel, traces the history of these figures as they navigate life in a city divided by sectarian conflict, where bombs and shootings are commonplace. Although Dolours, Gerry, and Brendan chose to live as revolutionaries, Jean, a Protestant living in a Catholic stronghold, was caught up in forces beyond her control.
While intimately personal, the book also chronicles the persecution of Catholics in Northern Ireland, the uncompromising ideals of the IRA volunteers, and life in prison and internment camps. I had not fully understood the process or psychological consequences of force feeding prisoners on hunger strike until reading this book, and I'll never see the process the same way again.
Attention is also paid to the British Army and its use of "touts" or informants, a practice Keefe attributes to Brigadier Frank Kitson who became a master of counterinsurgency techniques while stationed at sites of colonial uprisings and later assigned to Northern Ireland.
As Reefe unspools the trajectory of the IRA volunteers, he traces the painful lives of the McConville orphans who were put into state custody and institutionalized. Their family was irrevocably shattered when Jean was "disappeared." In 1999, the IRA admitted responsibility, and in 2003, her body was uncovered.
Jean McConville and her family were only one of many who were uprooted by the Troubles. But a culture of silence permeates Northern Ireland. Part of this developed before the Troubles, but because the peace settlement did not include a truth and reconciliation process, anyone who talks about their activities risks arrest and prison. Keefe wonders who should be responsible for a shared history of violence. Only the truth can answer that question, and Say Nothing is a remarkable contribution to that history.
This is such a readable book, it will appeal to true crime aficionados, mystery lovers, and history buffs, not to mentions anyone wanting to know more about the history of Northern Ireland or the IRA. In fact, one of the few flaws is that the book is so readable, sometimes it's easy to forget that the events depict real people and real pain that deserve empathy and witness. The book is also more thematic than chronological, which makes the flow more logical and the narrative more coherent. However, at times, I got a bit murky on the timeline and had to reorient myself. These very minor issues should not keep you from picking up this book; in fact, I encourage you to read it as soon as possible.
Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for an advance reading copy in exchange for an honest review.
Ada Lovelace is a board book addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series designed to be read aloud to babies and toddlers. Although Ada Lovelace is an important historical figure, critical in the development of the calculator, so few people know of her, it's wonderful she has this introduction to a new generation (as well as to the people who read to them).
Vegara does a good job distilling Lovelace's story, and the vocabulary involved in her inventions, to a beginning level, and Yamamoto's illustrations are delightful. Ada's cat, Mrs. Puff, appears on every spread, and it's fun to find her in the background. There are also nice details like simple mathematical problems and subtle additions like the 0-1 binary language in a background of a portrait of Ada.
Although I very much like the book and think it is a valuable addition to a young reader's library, I thought the first pages, of Ada's childhood, were a little vague, and that the narrative really developed once Ada recognized her talent for invention.
Ada faced significant hurdles, including her mother's skepticism, sexism, and the disbelief of scientists. These are present but played down in the text, though the message that using one's imagination and being persistent shines through.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot be forced under the Affordable Care Act to expand their Medicaid programs to cover more uninsured adults. But states have the option to do this and there are a number of compelling reasons why state policymakers should consider taking this step.
According to a recent report co-authored by Lynda Flowers of the AARP Public Policy Institute and Matthew Beuttgens of the Urban Institute, close to 4 million uninsured midlife adults – ages 45 to 64 – stand to benefit from states taking up Medicaid expansion. More than half of these uninsured individuals are currently unemployed. Those who are not working because they are in poor health could benefit from access to needed medical care that could help them get back into the workforce. The expansion would also give uninsured midlife adults access to potentially lifesaving prevention and screening services, and could also significantly reduce disparities in access to care.
Increasing access to Medicaid among this population – one that tends to begin experiencing the onset of chronic illnesses – would also give many midlife adults the ability to manage their illnesses before they experience costly deteriorations in their health status. In the absence of insurance coverage, the costs of providing care largely fall to states and providers. The negative impact on hospitals is expected to be especially daunting in the face of other federal policies that will reduce federal hospital funding for uncompensated care.
Expanding Medicaid also offers the potential for holding down the costs of providing long-term services and supports (LTSS) for low-income adults. States are the primary payer for these services. Expanding access to Medicaid would give lower-income adults access to care that can improve or maintain their health status, long before their conditions deteriorate to the point where they need costly, Medicaid-financed LTSS in addition to their Medicare benefits. Yet another good reason why the expansion makes good sense.
Taking advantage of expanding Medicaid early on – when the federal government will cover 100 percent of the cost – would be a really smart move for states because uninsured midlife adults are likely to be more costly during their initial years of coverage due to pent up demand for needed health care. You can find out more about the Medicaid expansion in a report I wrote right after the Affordable Care Act was passed.

A potential step forward in Middle East peace talks happened Monday when Israel published a list of the 26 Palestinian prisoners who are supposed to be freed this week.
Most of the prisoners to be released are accused of deadly attacks against Israelis, including the 1994 murder of Isaac Rotenberg, a Holocaust survivor.
The release of the prisoners is supposed to take place Tuesday, in advance of resumed peace talks between Israel and Palestine on Wednesday. Dialogue between the two countries — which has been at a standstill for the past five years — was picked up again two weeks ago in Washington and will resume in Jerusalem.
While the prisoner release seems like progress towards peace, Palestinian elation over the meeting of their demands was tempered by the announcement that Israel plans to build more housing in the contested settlements of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Over the next nine months, 104 Palestinian prisoners are expected to be released in four stages as a condition of continued peace talks.

Julian Edelman is graduating from Kent State
"It is important to me that I make my parents proud as I fulfill a promise that I made to them that I would, one day, be a college graduate."

A decade after he left the university to pursue a job in the NFL, Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will return to Kent State on Saturday to walk at commencement.
"I believe it is important to finish what you start," Edelman wrote Thursday on Instagram. "This Saturday, I will be walking with my fellow Kent State graduates. Completing what I started back in 06."
A 2005 graduate of Woodside High School in California, Edelman spent a year at the College of San Mateo — a community college close to home — before transferring to Kent State in Ohio. He was the starting quarterback there for three seasons but did not complete his degree.
The Patriots drafted Edelman with the 232nd overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, putting the last of his studies on hold. Since leaving for the NFL, however, the 32-year-old took the necessary steps to earn a Bachelor of Integrative Studies degree, according to the university.
"It is important to me that I make my parents proud as I fulfill a promise that I made to them that I would, one day, be a college graduate," Edelman said. "I also want to set a great example for my daughter, so that when I talk about the importance of a college degree, I can show her that earning my degree was important to me."
A proud member of Golden Flash network, Edelman is a member of school's Athletic Hall of Fame and often sports a bright yellow "Kent State Football" T-shirt during Patriots practice.
