Despite seeing a surge in sales, owing to a recent hike in coal prices, and customers bearing the brunt of additional charges, Coal India saw its profit decline by nearly 60 per cent in the last six fiscal years (FYs).In 2012-13, its net profit stood at Rs 173.56 billion while gross sales was Rs 882.81 billion. However, in 2017-18, despite its gross sales surging to Rs 1271.62 billion, net profit fell to Rs 70.20 billion. This is despite coal sales increasing by around seven per cent to touch 581 million tonne (mt) and the company imposing additional loading & transportation charges as well as evacuation facility charges on buyers to make up partly for the rising costs.Company officials attribute this dip in profitability in recent times to the impact of pay revision for non-executive employees, provisions for the pay revision of executive employees, retrospectively, since January 2017 and an actuarial impact of Rs 73.84 billion due to increase in the ceiling of gratuity payments from Rs 1 million to Rs 2 million."In terms of gross profit, there has actually been an increase of 31.35 per cent in the last fiscal year. However, higher provisioning had impacted the net profitability of the company," a senior Coal India executive said. In the last six years, according to the norms, Coal India had to revise the wages for workers twice – once in 2012, when a 25 per cent hike was agreed upon and then in 2017 when an impending hike resulted in Rs 56.67 billion of additional outflow as wages shot up by another 20 per cent.Salaries of executives were also revised and this led to an estimated outflow of Rs 10 billion. "Provisioning is a necessity to accommodate such hikes which gets reflected in the profitability," the executive said.According to the company, a provision of Rs 21.01 billion was made in 2016-17 for this wage revision and further during 2017-18, an amount of Rs 28.50 billion was also provided pending final settlement, which included an amount of Rs 8.93 billion towards shortfall of provision for the 2016-17 fiscal year.Rupesh Sankhe, research analyst at Reliance Securities is of the view that apart from wage revision, provisioning for it and gratuity revision and sharp decline in e-auction prices have led to a fall in profits.

DENVER (AP) — Will Barton had 21 points before leaving late in the third quarter with a strained neck, Nikola Jokic added 20 and the Denver Nuggets beat the depleted Portland Trail Blazers 140-108 on Thursday night.
The Nuggets built their lead to 26 points in the third quarter — and this time didn't let it slip away.
Two nights ago, Denver blew a 25-point lead in Los Angeles against the Clippers. The loss of big leads has become an alarming trend for the Nuggets.
But not this time. Although, it did take the Nuggets nearly three minutes into the third quarter before scoring their first basket — a dunk by Jeff Green, who finished with 19 points. That got them rolling again.
"I think everybody who's a Nuggets fan was probably wondering when we got up big when the collapse was going to happen," coach Michael Malone said. "Give our guys credit."
Facundo Campazzo had 18 points and 12 assists for Demver. Jokic, who didn't play in the fourth quarter, also had eight rebounds and seven assists. It was a rare game in which he didn't have a double-double.
There was a scary moment late in the third quarter, when Barton fell into the knee of Portland center Jusuf Nurkic on a drive. Barton stayed down for several moments as teammates surrounded him. Barton walked to the locker room and later returned to the bench.
"I'm just glad he's cool," Green said.
Ben McLemore had 18 points as all five Portland starters scored in double digits to begin a six-game trip. The Blazers were without their top four scorers in Damian Lillard (abdominal tendinopathy), CJ McCollum (right lung pneumothorax), Norman Powell (health & safety protocols) and Anfernee Simons (personal reasons).
"We did a poor job of just keeping the ball in front of us," Blazers coach and Denver native Chauncey Billups explained. "They're good at executing downhill and creating 3s. They're good at that. The game got away from us from that standpoint."
With Denver's reserves playing most of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets built their lead to 37 points. The Nuggets outscored the Blazers 68-53 in the second half. It marked the first time they've won a second half since a game at New York on Dec. 4.
"Our defense in the second half was great," Green said.
Blazers: McCollum is expected to join the team at some point on the trip. ... F Larry Nance Jr. (right knee) was out. ... G Dennis Smith Jr. scored 17.
Nuggets: Before the game, G Jamal Murray (left knee) and F Michael Porter Jr. (back surgery) shot baskets on opposite ends of the floor. ... Denver made 21 3-pointers and had 35 assists.
MISSING LILLARD
Lillard underwent surgery Thursday morning to repair a core injury that has been causing him abdominal pain. Lillard will be evaluated again in six weeks.
"He told me several times, he doesn't even know what it feels like playing healthy — it's been so long," Billups said. "I'm happy he's going to be able to get healthy, come back with his mind fresh, his body fresh."
The Blazers hired Andrae Patterson as an assistant general manager. Billups couldn't help but reflect on a first-round NCAA Tournament game in 1997, when Billups' Colorado Buffaloes beat Patterson's Indiana Hoosiers 80-62.
"That was a great game," Billups cracked.
BOL BACK
A trade between Detroit and the Nuggets was rescinded after big man Bol Bol didn't receive medical clearance with the Pistons. The Nuggets finalized the deal Monday to send Bol to Detroit in exchange for guard Rodney McGruder along with a 2022 second-round pick via Brooklyn.
"Welcome him back," Malone said of what happens next. "Bol was leaving here on good terms. We all had good conversations with him. Stranger things have happened in the NBA."
Trail Blazers: At the Washington Wizards on Saturday.
Nuggets: Host LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.
Hornets' Bridges and Rozier team up against Knicks in win
NEW YORK (AP) — Miles Bridges scored a career-high 38 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, leading the Charlotte Hornets to a 97-87 victory over the New York Knicks. Terry Rozier added 22 points. He and Bridges combined to outscore the Knicks by themselves in the first half as Charlotte bounced
Batum scores 32, Clippers beat Pacers 139-133
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nicolas Batum scored a season-high 32 points, Reggie Jackson added 26 points and the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Indiana Pacers 139-133 on Monday in a matchup of sub-.500 teams. Marcus Morris had 21 points for the Clippers, who snapped a two-game skid with their highest-scoring
Antetokounmpo, Bucks start fast, blow out Warriors 118-99
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and had his third triple-double of the season to help Milwaukee rout the Golden State Warriors 118-99 on Thursday night in Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer's return from the NBA's COVID-19 protocols. Antetokounmpo had 12 rebounds and 11 assists for his 28th career
Clippers rally from 25 down in 2nd half, stun Nuggets 87-85
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Amir Coffey had 18 points, Reggie Jackson scored 11 of his 13 in the fourth quarter and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied from a 25-point deficit in the second half for a stunning 87-85 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. Terance Mann scored nine

Photo: BIZLife
Deputy Mayor of Belgrade, Goran Vesic has stated that electric transport dubbed "Vrabac servis" will commence in downtown Belgrade in a couple of days. Vesic has said within the "Energy Week" fair that sustainable energy is not only an obligation, but a lifestyle as well. "We as the city of Belgrade are doing plenty of things in our enterprises that are related to sustainable energy – from power plants, to traffic, waste management, public lighting and parking service. That is something that is our policy," the deputy mayor has said. Vesic has said that electric vehicles will soon be available to citizens, which will be included not only in public transport, but also in waste management. "We are slowly becoming a city that resembles all other European cities when it comes to sustainable and green energy," Vesic has concluded.

Q: Getting all translations in a specific namespace from angular-translate In order to populate a service with data, I would like to get all translations beneath a specific namespace from angular-translate's $translate service.
Basically what I am looking for is something like this (which is not supported):

Since this does not exist, I guess my best approach at this time is to parse the fallback translation table I provide synchronously with my app myself?

Photo courtesy of Shivani Jawda
As a global leader in data storage solutions, with operations spanning more than 30 countries, Seagate Technology understands the incredible value of diversity and inclusion. Seagate values the contributions that each employee brings to the table every day. One such employee, Shivani Jawda, based in Minnesota, shares her thoughts about her career at Seagate.
"I still remember my first interview at Seagate. The hiring manager showed me the wonderful, high-tech labs and tester systems, which were controlling tiny heads and fast-rotating hard disks. I was so impressed—and overwhelmed—and I was not sure if I was capable enough to do the job.
The hiring manager, who is still my manager today, said to me: "You have controlled generators and turbines with your code. I think you are capable of controlling tiny electromagnets in hard drives!"
After a couple of weeks, I received my job offer from Seagate."
Seagate Is Hiring! Browse Opportunities.
Seagate recently launched the Firmware Engineering Professional Development Program, reflecting the company's strong commitment to develop its employees—while also strengthening its pipeline of qualified firmware engineers. Participants are offered the opportunity to obtain a Master's Degree in Computer Science paid for by Seagate, and receive mentoring support throughout, while they transition into and develop their new roles. Here is what Shivani has to say about her experience in the firmware program, and how her career has progressed since starting at Seagate:
"I started with simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) projects, and after a few months my projects started to become more and more complex. I then started writing firmware for our microchip controllers. As my projects began to grow in complexity, I asked about continuing my education at the University of Minnesota. My manager agreed, and I began to study signals and systems, as well as digital signal processing."
Through an annual nomination cycle, Seagate's Ambassador Program provides selected employees from all parts of the company an opportunity to learn about the business, attend a trade show, and represent Seagate externally. As a Seagate Ambassador herself, this is what Shivani has to say about her experience:
"Both my manager and director encouraged me to join the program, and were so motivating and encouraging. The Ambassador Program helped me to learn so much about the wonderful products and projects of Seagate; I had no idea that Seagate is involved in so many great things!
Seagate is an essential part of everyone's daily life: people take photos, videos, play video games, save and retrieve backup data—and in all these processes Seagate is involved."
Change is an essential part of any career journey—and it can be scary to embrace. As someone who has undergone much change throughout her own career journey, Shivani shares some advice for other women seeking to shake up their careers and invest more in themselves professionally.
"Even though I am a nervous person, I tried—and trying is the first step. Everyone has to take the first step to start any journey; if you want to do something, please go for it. You might get it.
And there are no shortcuts. Always work hard."

Keeping up with Karma
Our bearded CTO does his best Kim Kardashian
This was a fun week for us at Karma HQ. We got to scathingly critique all the Superbowl commercials. We got to revel in our Dutch team members watching the big game for the first time. We got to show off how much we know about sports on our team chat (Communications Manager Jessie put it best: "Spent a solid 30 minutes on Gisele's Instagram. Anyone else?").
There was one Superbowl commercial in particular, though, that really grabbed our attention. Seems like mobile carriers are finally starting to catch on to the novel idea that data you paid for should roll over to the next month if you don't use it. Too bad the plans are still limited, (T-Mobile's rollover data expires after a year and AT&T's expires after just a month) but kudos for the effort. In the meantime, Karma has been offering rollover data for two years, with no arbitrary usage limits. If you buy a 10GB data pack in January and don't use it until July, all 10GB will still be there waiting for you when you're ready.
The celebrity that T-Mobile chose to represent their best data rollover bandwagoning efforts, was, of course, Kim Kardashian, whose self-satirizing endorsement was one of the most talked-about ads of the Superbowl. In a stroke of genius, or at least extreme silliness, we somehow convinced our bearded, metal-loving CTO Stefan to do a parody of the Kim Kardashian commercial, which we filmed on a whim at our office. Never a dull day at Karma.
To see the original Kim video, click here. But admittedly, we encourage you to choose Karma, not Kim.

Just this last weekend, I catered a party with one of my close chef friends, Kristen Schumacher. For me, there is nothing more fun than geeking out over cook books while planning a dinner party menu, especially when your co-chef is also a fan of local and seasonal cooking and not afraid of experimentation. In the summer months, ingredient options seem endless and with a little bit of inspiration, ordinary ingredients can be transformed into delicious dishes. Given the small size of the group, (nine) and a good budget, we were able to focus on ingredients and take extra care for plating. For the salad course we tossed arugula and finely chiffonade sorrel with a honey citrus vinaigrette and topped each salad with shaved pecorino, chive blossoms and a soft-boiled duck egg sprinkled with black Hawaiian sea salt.


Two improbable moments, seemingly straight from a Hollywood script … and both came in the same game.
The two moments were buzzer-beating three-point shots from seventh-grade Clear Creek Middle School Lady Cats (and sisters) Emma and Elly Callihan, which gave CCMS a 32-31 victory over the Fannin County Middle School Lady Rebels and the 2015-16 North Georgia Mountain League championship yesterday at Dawson County Middle School.
Meanwhile, the hosting, undefeated Dawson County Middle School Tigers capped off a 10-0 season by besting the CCMS Bobcats 45-31 to win the seventh-grade boys championship.
The seventh-grade girls game built to its dramatic conclusion from the outset. Fannin seized an early first-quarter lead, before a Natalie Thomas three-point play put the Lady Cats in a 5-5 deadlock with the Lady Rebels. The first period went on to end in a 7-7 stalemate. FCMS tied the game 13-13 just before halftime, before Emma Callihan gave CCMS a 15-13 halftime lead with a two-point bucket at the buzzer.
Almost like the calm before the storm, the third quarter proved to be difficult for both Fannin and Clear Creek. MacKenzie Johnson provided the lone Lady Rebels basket, while Emma Deyton scored off a steal to keep the Lady Cats lead at 17-15 by the end of the third.
The game continued its back-and-forth theme in the fourth quarter. A three-point play from Olivia Sisson put Fannin ahead 21-19 with 1:08 left in regulation. The Lady Rebels added two more baskets to open up a late 25-22 advantage and were poised to win the championship. However, Emma Callihan had other plans for the Lady Cats, as she caught an in-bound pass with less than 10 seconds left in the game, drove down the court and launched a three-point shot that tied the game 25-25 and forced an overtime.
Fannin refused to go down without a fight. Buckets from Paige Foresman and Abby Ledford, mixed with two free throws from Johnson, put the Lady Rebels out front 32-29. But although Emma Callihan went down in overtime with a sprained ankle, her younger sibling Elly stepped up for the crescendo.
The situation mirrored that of the end of regulation, with a different Callihan in control of the ball. Elly trotted two steps past half-court and propelled the basketball from well beyond the three-point line. The heave shockingly swished through the net as the buzzer sounded, sending the Clear Creek faithful into a frenzy and giving the Lady Cats the 32-31 win and the 2015-16 North Georgia Mountain League seventh-grade girls championship.
The seventh-grade Lady Rebels finish the year with an 11-3 record, while the Lady Cats completed the campaign with a 12-2 mark.
In the seventh-grade boys title game, the Tigers built early momentum to stay one pounce ahead of the Bobcats throughout the first half. A strong offensive and defensive first quarter from Dakota Sonnidson (nine points, three rebounds, one steal) helped give Dawson an 11-5 lead by the end of the period.
A combined nine second-quarter boards for the Bobcats gave Clear Creek the chance to cut the lead down to 17-14 by halftime. Dawson responded by outscoring CCMS 18-8 in the third quarter, opening up a 35-22 lead in the process. With reserves playing the closing minutes of the title game, the Tigers went on to claim the 45-31 victory and the seventh-grade boys championship.
The seventh-grade Tigers finish the year with an unblemished 10-0 record, while the Bobcats wrap up the season at 8-7.

Un ataque a la cadena de suministro (en inglés supply chain attack), también llamado ataque de cadena de valor o ataque de terceros, consiste en comprometer proveedores digitales de servicios externos (proveedores de servicios de internet, proveedores de telecomunicaciones, proveedores de software, proveedores de servicios externos, proveedores de hardware,...) como instrumento para infiltrarse desde allí en una organización objetivo. El asegurarse de que los proveedores de servicios externos son confiables es extremadamente difícil. La indirección dificulta la identificación del atacante. Este tipo de ataques tienen gran potencial debido a que un proveedor puede dar servicio a muchos clientes, los cuales a su vez pueden ser proveedores de otros. De esta forma, en una sola operación puede infectar todos los clientes .

Tipos
Las formas más habituales de realizar ataques a la cadena de suministro son:
 Malware preinstalado en dispositivos (cámaras, USB, teléfonos, etc.)
 Software que sirve de base para la creación de otro software infectado. Por ejemplo, en 2019 se detectó que había tres bibliotecas Python maliciosas en el Índice de Paquete Python oficial (PyPI). Contenían una puerta trasera oculta que se activaría cuando las bibliotecas se instalaran en sistemas Linux. En 2019 se detectó que el compilador Microsoft Visual Studio que estaban usando tres compañías de videojuegos instalaba puertas traseras.
 Código malintencionado firmado digitalmente usando claves privadas de del proveedor del servicio.
 Código especializado comprometido usado en firmware o hardware.
 Ataques que explotan puertas traseras en hardware y software.
 Código malicioso dentro de programa instalador o actualizador. Esto da al atacante el beneficio inmediato de tener privilegios elevados en la máquina.  El ejemplo más famoso de este tipo de ataque fue el ataque NotPetya en 2017 en el que un grupo de hackers rusos secuestró actualizaciones de un software de contabilidad ucraniano que descargaba un gusano destructivo y causó un daño récord de 10.000 millones de dólares a empresas de todo el mundo. Otro ejemplo fue la infección de decenas de miles de ordenadores ASUS con un malware introducido a través del software de actualización de software de la marca.
 Atacantes recrean la infraestructura de proveedor en un servidor réplica que los atacantes controlan.

The Social Stress of 'No-Pain No-Gain'
By Dr. Phil MaffetoneAugust 23, 2017May 26th, 2020Exercise, Lifestyle & Stress, Original Research
Why following the herd is more likely to result in injury, disease and burnout.
By Philip Maffetone and Rik Scarce
This article brings together the combined perspectives of a sports clinician (PM) and a professor of sociology (RS), both of whom have shared the observation that the no-pain, no-gain mindset, born out of economics, and with the potential to cause undue stress, is not unique to the exercise community but endemic to society as a whole. Likewise, related physical, biochemical and mental-emotional stress conditions, from sports injuries to heart attacks, are also not unique to groups of athletes or patients but are observed broadly across society, occurring at very similar rates.
Mention the popular mantra "no pain, no gain" to a group of exercisers and none will bat an eye. Search the sociology databases, however, and this phrase will be found in many other categories, from ethics research and international relations to research on capitalism. In a real sense, "pain" would seem to result in social "gain" in ways far beyond exercise.
In fact no pain, no gain is such an accepted mindset that few will dare question it. For many the brainwashing begins early, often in middle school PE class, where we are trained to believe that physical fitness is something to be gained only through painful workouts. From a societal standpoint this develops into a herd mentality and is also applied to other areas of life, from education to work ethics and even to our relationships with others.
The sociological and social-psychological literature notes that individuals who exercise are viewed favorably by others, and are seen as possessing qualities such as self-confidence and self-directedness. Those who exercise are viewed as people who get things done and accomplish tasks dependably. Yet we overlook the fact that athletes also get injured, sick and can develop the same serious conditions that appear in sedentary individuals, and at surprisingly similar rates. Cardiovascular and other disease risk factors, for example, can rise in athletes just like in couch potatoes, and can lead to heart attacks or other end-stage conditions.
These observations contradict the no-pain, no-gain cliché. Exercise at the cost of great physical stress may backfire; what many think of as behaviors that keep us healthy and increase longevity — running or biking great distances, large doses of "hill repeats" or intervals in the swimming pool — can actually result in the opposite. The adverse results can range from injury to disease to chronic ailments. Consider retired Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall's well-publicized low testosterone levels and other serious conditions experienced at a relatively young age — in his 30s. Obviously, overtraining can lead to critical personal costs.
To move from exercise and its narrow effects to a broader outlook, there is a larger social causation viewpoint for the no-pain, no-gain attitude. This hypothesis has plenty of evidence in social theory (and empirical scholarship) to justify it. For one thing, this theory that we must put something "on the line" (subject our brains and bodies to pain) to get a "return" (fitness) smacks of a risk-reward worldview. More generally, this distorted way of thinking holds that we must endure hardship for good things to happen to us. But just how far are we willing to go, and are we prepared to sacrifice health for these gains?
The Economy of No-Pain No-Gain
Risk-reward and hardship rhetoric are grounded in the capitalist profit-based economic system, which is geared toward providing life's basics, and for some so much more. Since capitalism is not globally universal, it holds that not every culture shares these same outlooks. In fact, the American tradition of "no pain, no gain" did not start with Jane Fonda workout videos or the running boom of the 1970s. It actually may have been developed much earlier by Ben Franklin. This Founding Father was one of the early philosophers of capitalism and wrote about how to succeed in a capitalist society. Franklin's autobiography is so important in this regard that more than a century ago sociologist Max Weber used it to trace the origins of our economic system to strains of thought in Protestantism. It's easy to see what motivated Franklin's attraction to no pain, no gain; whenever one invests in a new business, there is the chance of failure, along with the potential for great success. (Some even trace no pain, no gain back to ancient rabbinical texts.)
In the conclusion of the book where Max Weber pointed to Franklin as the paragon of the capitalist ethos, Weber argued that capitalism was creeping into every corner of our lives. He saw us at risk of becoming trapped in a "steel shell," encapsulated by economic thought that dominates even non-economic aspects of our lives. One way to break out of this human-created shell is to resist the kind of economic rhetoric that leads to our entrapment in the first place. Otherwise, stress in many forms can impair us. For some "hard work," and even "workaholism" is viewed as a positive formula for success in business and in finances. For others, running, cycling, and other forms of working out are great ways to break free of this steel shell, if only for a short time. But how we pursue those activities is key.
Why should economic logic guide what we do outside of the economic sphere? That was the underlying question for Weber.
Not only is no pain, no gain a broad concept that applies to all of society, but it also is applied, along with unique pains and gains, to isolated groups, such as runners or other athletes, or even non-athletes. Runners and couch potatoes, for example, form distinct groups with attitudes and diverse lifestyle habits that influence how and where they fit into society.
Because human behavior is sensitive to and strongly influenced by our social environment, as advertisers well know, no pain, no gain remains a prevalent sales pitch used to influence the general public's mental and physical health, and fitness too.
There are many examples of how no pain, no gain harms us. They include, for example, heart attacks, a condition expected in out-of-shape, unhealthy individuals at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Yet, the same cardiovascular risk factors, even heart attacks themselves, occur in athletes at about the same frequency as in those who are sedentary.
This example, along with others mentioned below, first became evident to one author (PM) during decades of private practice, in which the patient population consisted of both athletes and non-athletes. These patients were a broad representation of the population. While they were of above-average income and education, had better health insurance, and other socio-economic or demographic differences, these patients shared the same chronic preventable diseases. What became evident was that the rates of many physical, biochemical and mental-emotional conditions were the same in both groups. The common denominator was stress. In recent years, published scientific studies have supported many of these clinical observations.
Below are some examples of these physical, biochemical and mental-emotional stress-related "injuries" prevalent in society as a whole that cross the supposed boundaries among distinct groups.
The increased risk of heart disease and death appear in both competitive athletes and otherwise similar non-athlete age-groups. A 2012 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine looked at running events between the years 2000 and 2010 and found that of the 10.9-million runners who participated in marathons and half-marathons in the U.S., 59 suffered a fatal heart attack while participating, an incidence rate of 0.54 per 100,000 runners. The authors state that there is no lower incidence of sudden death in runners compared to the general population.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of asthma in the U.S. population in 2013 was 8.3 percent in children and 7 percent in adults. By comparison, in 2012, Kippelen and colleagues collected data from athletes in the previous five summer and winter Olympic Games, showing that about 8 percent had asthma.
A 2013 study in Germany (Nixdorf et al.) showed that the prevalence for depressive symptoms in elite athletes was 15 percent, comparable to that in the general German population. (Depression is a common component of the overtraining syndrome, a condition often found in athletes.)
Mild to moderate pain-related physical injuries are the most common health problems in both athletes and non-athletes. These include sprains and strains, "pulled" muscles, joint pain and others. Most are non-traumatic. In a given year, more than 50 percent of athletes may suffer a training-related injury, even in non-contact sports: likewise, for those engaged in aerobic dance, group calisthenics, strength training, and who use gym equipment. Pain is the most common associated symptom of these injuries. Despite the difficulty of gathering data for comparison, non-exercise-related unintentional injury rates among the general public are not dissimilar. An Institute of Medicine report states that 100 million Americans have physical pain conditions. Certainly the majority of these individuals would not be athletes or even regular exercisers. Pain is also associated with inflammation, and both are two key components of virtually all injuries.
A common denominator between sports injuries and the ones that occur in sedentary people have to do with predisposition to injury. Neuromuscular imbalance may precede the first sign or symptom of a non-traumatic injury, leading to low back or knee pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, or other conditions — in athletes this imbalance may be exacerbated by overtraining and in the sedentary person by a sudden bout of spring cleaning or even inactivity, although in many people no clear trigger can be ascertained. Essentially, the mechanism of body breakdown is similar: Neuromuscular imbalance with ensuing joint dysfunction, inflammation and pain is nearly the same in most non-traumatic injuries.
Another comparison can be made between trauma patients seen in the emergency department (due to a motor vehicle collision, head trauma, serious fall, etc.) and an athlete training hard and competing who also induces a considerable amount of non-contact trauma. "At the cellular level, trauma and exercise resemble each other, with inflammation being the common response," says Dr. Catherine Dudick, trauma surgeon at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. "While inflammation drives healing, too much can also drive further injury."
In many ways, we are only as healthy as the world around us, with social influences affecting our behavior and habits regardless of whether one is an athlete or couch potato. It's the reason worker wellness programs are still unsuccessful most of the time — the spectrum of people who make up large and small companies are a part of the same unhealthy society. A particular wellness program may influence individual people, but as a whole, a group of workers is also a reflection of society.
No pain, no gain may be considered an example of herd behavior. It's quite possible that physical injuries, asthma, heart attacks are examples of the biological end-result of following the mindset of the masses.
Consider the start of a marathon. For many marathoners, subjective factors at the start of a race, especially those of a psychological nature, can interfere with their abilities to avoid faster paces early in the race. Whether in the lead pack or back of the pack, marathoners are more likely to follow other runners in the initial stages of the race and run too fast rather than follow their own perceived abilities. This herd mentality is seen not only in marathon runners but in other endurance sports and on other levels of society — making choices by following others is easier.
While, individually, we have responsibility to improve our own wellness, most people are significantly influenced by social forces in the form of fitness trends, advertisements, food costs and availability and, of particular concern, physical, biochemical and mental-emotional stress brought on by life in modern society — life increasingly characterized by existence in Max Weber's steel shell.
At the individual level how does no pain, no gain influence us? Through a well-understood physiologic brain-body mechanism.
The brain-body connection is not just some philosophy but a real neurological and hormonal mechanism that allows all parts of us to biologically adapt to the various physical, biochemical and mental-emotional stressors we face each day. It's called the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) and it's how we cope with stress. If the stresses are too great to recover from each day, they hurt us. The downstream problems include pain, inflammation, physical injuries, heart disease, asthma, depression and other mental illnesses, and various signs and symptoms.
The behavioral notion of no pain, no gain stimulates the HPA axis with too much frequency and intensity. For athletes, pushing hard enough without sufficient recovery may cause overtraining syndrome. For hard-driven business owners, executives, health practitioners or other professionals, the parallel manifestations include burn out and costly human errors. The same is true for train, bus, and auto drivers, airline pilots and virtually anyone.
Yet, each of us does have control over the HPA axis. The mechanism begins in the brain, and humans have the potential to adjust our way of thinking and acting to better survive, regardless of what the rest of society is doing.
Many know the no-pain, no-gain mantra and believe athletes are invincible — tough, hardy and strong. Prevailing emotions, shaped by forces as diverse as media representations and peer groups, say pushing past where the brain and body want to go, regardless of what's in the way, is how to get to the finish line. The loneliness of the long distance runner, the solitude of the weight room, the isolation of long stretches of empty open roads. Making lots of money so we can retire early. It all makes us gainfully stronger. But at what price of pain?

Ovarian Cancer Treatment and Insurance Issues
Here's how you or your caregiver can handle any insurance hurdles thrown your way during ovarian cancer treatment.

Dealing with bills and calling the insurance company to find out about costs of ovarian cancer treatments is the last thing any ovarian cancer patient wants to focus time and energy on. But it's a necessary evil to make sure that she can afford to pay for the ovarian cancer treatment that she needs. To help those with ovarian cancer get through the insurance maze, patients might want to turn to their caregivers for help with these issues.
Ovarian Cancer Treatment Coverage: Starting Out
To start, caregivers should make a few phone calls on their loved one's behalf to find out which doctors and hospitals are in their health insurance network. The costs of receiving expensive treatments from a provider who doesn't participate in the insurance plan can quickly add up.
You should also be sure that your loved one has not met a lifetime maximum or a cap that the insurance company may impose, and that there are no other special restrictions (such as a pre-existing condition waiting period) that may prevent treatments from being covered under the plan.
Ovarian Cancer Treatment Coverage: Unwanted Surprises
If the ovarian cancer patient has insurance through her employer, and her employer switches plans in the middle of the treatment, you need to be prepared.
Joy Hannah, a seven-year ovarian cancer survivor from Louisville, Ky., dealt with that situation — and it nearly cost her a fortune. Before her new insurance kicked in, she visited her doctors and told them about the switch. "I had my cards and explained it was going to change," she says.
The next month, when she had surgery, her medical team billed the wrong insurance carrier. It didn't pay, and Hannah was sent a huge bill.
"It's pretty depressing," she says. "You get home from the hospital after major surgery and then you've got a bill from the collection agency."
That's something she thinks that no one should ever have to deal with. But Hannah was lucky that it was a misunderstanding on the part of the doctor's office, and her bills were taken care of with a few calls.
Ovarian Cancer Treatment Coverage: Staying Ahead
Hannah credits part of her good fortune in avoiding a real mess to staying organized and keeping track of her plan and her claims. She kept all her paperwork and other records in order, and knew when she had met her deductible and what her insurance was responsible for paying.
Knowing how your plan works is very important, says Betty Long, a registered nurse and president and founder of Guardian Nurses Healthcare Advocates in suburban Philadelphia.
"You or your loved one needs to do the necessary investigation to understand what will be covered. From there you can make more educated decisions about where you can go for second opinions, where you can go for treatment, and whether it's chemo or radiation or experimental treatment," says Long. "If you want to get a second opinion, you as a patient need to understand that you may be taking certain financial risks because your insurance plan may not cover as richly."
There are so many rules and stipulations throughout every health plan that it is important to do the research before a massive bill that no one was prepared for arrives in the mail.
"You've got to do this ahead of time," says Long. "The best thing is to have somebody else who can do some homework. [But] the most important thing is to meet with the oncologist who's treating you to find out what's going on. Say, 'Let me see what my plan covers.' You've got to start there."
Ovarian Cancer Treatment Coverage: When There Is None
If for some reason the insurance company won't pay, coverage runs out, or there is no insurance, there are other options. Long recommends asking the hospital's financial aid department to come up with a payment plan, as well as looking into clinical trials, which are usually free. You also might find financial assistance at organizations like the American Cancer Society and patient advocacy groups.
Navigating the maze of insurance coverage and staying on top of insurance issues, bills, and other financial concerns is one of the best things a caregiver can do. That allows the patient to focus her time and energy on getting better.

Do you agree with Tinker Hatfield?
Legendary sneaker designer Tinker Hatfield has been at the helm of a vast majority of MJ's signature sneaks, but you have to admit that he's taken a few L's on some of them—and he recently confessed to TMZ that the Air Jordan 15's are his pick for the worst pair he's ever thought up.
Looking at the design now, it does look a bit disjointed. The sharp contrast in texture between the heel and forefoot area makes it look like two shoes bashed together in particular.
On the other hand, Hatfield also revealed that his GOAT pair is the Air Jordan 11, a design that came really close to being cancelled according to him. Probably because MJ was busy messing around on the baseball field those days, but we all know what happened back then in 1995. The 11 released with hype levels we'll probably never see again because of the double pop of Jordan declaring "I'm back" (chills!) and co-starring in the greatest basketball movie of all time (we're talking about Space Jam, of course).
For our personal fave though? It's a toss-up between the Air Jordan 3 vs 4. Tinker's first two designs are easily some of the most popular Jordan Brand shoes locally.
Special mention to the Air Jordan 6 because of a certain red-haired playe,r too. And another special mention to every Pinoy hoop fan's favorite Jordan: Jordan Clarkson (lol).

WHAT IS A LIFE GROUP? | This is the term we use at HCC for our Small Group Ministry.
The Christian life was not meant to be lived alone in a vacuum; Jesus promised us a life beyond mediocre, getting by, making it, or just hanging in there, he promised the abundant life.
Follow the link below to fill out the Life Group Registration Form and get connected to a group local to you.
Safe || Leaders, facilitators, hosts are responsible to create a safe place where trust can be built, connections are made, and people feel safe! If you don't do anything else, you must do this!
Salubrious means "favorable to or promoting health or well-being" This part of the HCC Culture and a necessary ingredient for spiritual growth.
Authentic || Having sustained growth in a small group requires a level of trust that will in turn foster transparency; being unauthentic, fake, or dishonest will not get the results expected for spiritual maturity. True growth happens when we take risks and step out of our comfort zone and tr God has for us.
Loyal to HCC || The Great Commandment and the Great Commission is our call and is why it is important that our members reinforce the mission of HCC; loyalty to the mission encourages membership. It is not healthy if our small groups invest in studying materials that are not inline or agrees with what HCC believes and teaches.
Transformational || Spiritual growth is the goal of our LIFE Groups. God uses people to bring grace and transformation to one another.
Grace and Truth over Time| Grace is the understanding that God is for you and there are certain abilities we can only exhibit with God's grace. In the context of a small group setting, there will be times when we must come along side of each other and give grace in the form of an ability the other can't provide for themselves. Experiencing total grace comes in the form of acceptance and forgiveness "a Life Group should never be the source of shame, guilt, judgment, or condemnation.
Truth is provided through the word of truth God's Holy Word and when we are open and honest with one another telling the truth in love when it might be hard to say, but you know someone needs to hear it.
Time is the ingredient that ties all of this together. None of this will happen overnight but will happen over time provided that the groups are kept safe and people feel free to open up and share without feeling condemned or threatened.
Reconciliation| We have been given the ministry of reconciliation with the goal of reconciling man to God and man to each other. The group helps bring people closer to God and the life that he wants them to live. Life Groups should help reconnect through real relationships to God and through experiencing connections with others within the group.
Ownership| People will need to own their issues and take responsibility for their own spiritual growth; no more excuses. In a healthy Life Group, people learn to confess their shortcomings, failures, and fears in the confines of safety and acceptance. Confrontation is not meant to be negative, confront means to "face front;" we learn how to face our problems head on and not run away or hide from them.
Unity of mind| Connecting within the Life Group and connecting outside of the group leads to closer connections with God. You learn behaviors within the small group that transfer to other parts of your life as you grow and become more spiritually mature. Maturity doesn't come through knowledge it comes through application of what is learned. We no longer live compartmented lives separated by sacred or secular; they both become one.
Purpose| The opening line of the first chapter of the Purpose Driven Life states that "It's not about you" (Warren 2002 p. 17). And then goes on to say "The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose" (Warren 2002 p. 17).
One of the most effective ways of discipleship or evangelism is placing new believers or non-believers in a small group with seasoned believers, this is known as the "empty chair" philosophy.
Service| A Cup of Cold Water ministry and other Community Outreach programs provide ways in which HCC can serve the outside community as a Social Center of God's Kindness through Service Projects. HCC Life Groups are expected to schedule time within their groups to serve the community. Life Groups manage their own projects according to their availability and time commitments. Individuals are also encouraged to serve according to their Spiritual Gifting and S.H.A.P.E. profile.
