A woman with AIDS whose photograph was used in a marketing brochure for Merck & Co.'s protease inhibitor Crixivan without her permission on June 13 won a summary judgment in a defamation and civil rights lawsuit against the company, the New York Times reports. Justice Mary Werner of New York Supreme Court in Manhattan ruled that the woman, who was not identified, was defamed by Merck and its advertising company, Harrison & Star, after they used her photograph on a marketing brochure that depicted her as a 19-year-old mother of two who had contracted HIV and herpes though "sexua[l] promiscu[ity]." In fact,the woman is a suburban housewife in her mid-30s who does not have herpes and contracted HIV from her husband. In 1996, the woman was recruited and paid by Merck to have her picture taken, but she signed a waiver consenting to have her image used "only for educational purposes." Her picture first appeared in a Merck educational brochure titled "Getting the Facts." But the Times reports that her image also appeared in a 1997 Crixivan marketing brochure. In the ruling, Werner said that Merck acted with "actual malice" because the "record establishes that the brochure was published with the knowledge of the text's falsity." Werner rejected Merck's argument that the brochure was "substantially true," and that the signed waiver removed their liability. The woman's lawyer, Meredith Braxton, said, "The case is obviously important to our client because it vindicates her and gives her a measure of satisfaction for all the damage and the pain that was caused to her. The broader message that is important about this case is that big companies cannot play with the rights of individuals with impunity." Merck spokesperson Gregory Reaves said that the company "certainly would not comment on pending litigation." The case now moves to a jury hearing to decide punitive and compensatory damages. Braxton said that the woman will ask for punitive damages of $56 million, or about 10% of Crixivan's 1997 gross revenue, and $16 million in compensatory damages. The Times reports that as of Friday, the woman's picture was still being used in an Merck online ad for care providers, despite the company's pledge to remove the ad at the beginning of the trial in 1998. Informed of Web page, Braxton said she would ask the court today for an order to remove the ad (Blair, New York Times , 6/23).


In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil gently and add the onion.
Cook over a low heat till soft and nearly caramelised, stirring occasionally. Do not let the onion brown; instead, cook till soft and translucent.
Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender.
Immediately spoon the chutney into hot, sterilised jars and seal. Once cooled, store in a cool, dark place. After opening, the chutney should easily keep 3 to 4 weeks in the fridge.

A quantity indicated by a unit of measure is singular, even when the unit is spelled out, except in the case of nonabsolute or informal units.
10 mg was added
5 mL was injected
220 cpm of radioactivity was detected
Twelve milliliters was injected, but 10 drops were added
Change mM to mmol/L.
Change µM to µmol/L
Change micron (outdated term) to µm.
Confidence intervals (CIs) are preferred over confidence limits. Use an en dash in a confidence interval unless the range includes a negative number; for negative confidence intervals, use the word "to." The abbreviation CI can be used without definition.
(95% CI 0.8–1.6)
(95% CI –1.3 to 4.5)
Currency may be converted to US dollars or given in local units. The symbols $, £, and € may be used without defining (although specify US $, Can $, or Aus $). Other symbols or abbreviations should be defined; inclusion of a conversion factor should be at the author's discretion.
The approximate cost per case of disease prevented was US $150.
We analyzed expenses in Japanese yen (¥). The cost of treatment was ≈ ¥10,000.
The unit used in our calculations was the Chinese renminbi (RMB) (RMB 1 ≈ US $0.13).
Spell out months in text. In tables, figures, and references, abbreviate months with the first 3 letters.
In running text, write the date as Month DD, YYYY. Set the year off in commas only if it is used with both month and day.
We conducted a study in January 2003 on the prevalence…
We began a study on January 3, 2003, on the prevalence…
In tables and figures, avoid the constructions MM/DD/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY (because usage is not consistent worldwide and they can be confused with each other). In references and in the body of tables, dates should be written as YYYY Mon DD (e.g., 2006 Sep 1).
Digits versus Spelled-out Numbers
Numerals, including values <10, should be used to express numbers in most circumstances. However, do not use numerals for
numbers that begin a sentence, title, subtitle, or heading
common fractions
idiomatic expressions
numbers used as pronouns
other uses of the number "one" in running text
ordinals first through ninth
numbers spelled out in quotations or published titles
The relative risk of exposed participants was 3 times that of the controls.
In the second phase of the study, 3 of the investigators administered the 5 tests to the 7 remaining participants.
Five species were identified. (In this instance, rewording the sentence may be preferable: We identified 5 species.)
The investigators compared a new laboratory method with the standard one (not 1).
In titles, use numerals unless the number is the first word.
Comparison of 2 Methods to Detect Publication Bias in Meta-analyses
If 2 numbers appear adjacent to each other, try to rewrite the sentence. If this occurrence is unavoidable, write out one of them.
We sterilized five 50-mL test tubes.
When a unit of measure follows a number that begins a sentence, it too must be written out, even if the same unit is abbreviated elsewhere in the same sentence.
Two micrograms was administered on day 1, followed by 1 µg on day 2.
In equations, single-letter abbreviations and variables (except for p values) are italicized; surrounding parentheses are not.
Displayed equations should be used only for complex equations that cannot be clearly run into the text. Displayed equations and text are not separated with punctuation.
The value is calculated as follows:
n = ln 1 – π (S1y 3x + 1)
Simpler equations should be run into text and set off with a comma.
Distance is calculated as D = x(y), where D = distance…
Text equations use initial capital letters for each element and no end punctuation.
Although decimals are preferred (and required with SI units), for less precise measurements, mixed fractions may be used.
The patient was hospitalized for 5½ days.
Common fractions are expressed with words. Hyphens are used only if the fraction modifies a noun.
approximately one fourth of the population
a two-thirds majority
Mathematical Symbols
Unless the meaning is obscured, symbols are preferred to text in mathematical expressions. Note: Do not automatically substitute < for "up to" or "as high as" because it could obscure author's emphasis on the highest value. For example, use
>12 persons, not more than 12 persons
<4 days, not no more than 4 days
>80 mm Hg, not at least 80 mm Hg
≈70 geese, not approximately 70 geese
Use words rather than symbols for nonmathematical expressions (disregard this rule for tables and parenthetical expressions), and do not allow symbols to stand for the main verb in a clause.
ribavirin plus interferon, not ribavirin + interferon
where p was <0.05…, not where p<0.05…
Symbols (except for <, >, <, and >) are written with a space on either side when they indicate mathematical equations. In all other contexts, the symbol should be closed up with associated numbers or variables.
14x + 27y = z
45% ± 2%
p<0.01
G+C content
densities of <103 cells per cm2
magnification ×200, 4 × 106
the MIC was <8.0 g/mL
260,000 × 109 cells/L
If a symbol begins a heading (e.g., column heading in table), capitalize the next word
% Infected
Use commas in all numbers with >4 digits, except in dates and in numbers that represent a position (as with a page number or amino acid)
2,000 people by 2002
We found a Leu→Phe substitution at amino acid 1242.
Use a combination of numerals and words to express rounded large numbers and consecutive numerical expressions.
The disease affects 5 million to 6 million persons.
Study participants were given twenty 5-mL syringes.
For all decimals between –1 and 1 (≠0), use a leading zero to the left of the decimal.
p<0.05 not p<.05
Ordinals generally express order or rank rather than quantity. Ordinals first through ninth are spelled out. Ordinals greater than ninth are expressed as numerals, except at the beginning of sentence, title, or heading.
In a series that includes an ordinal greater than ninth, all ordinals are expressed as numerals.
Samples were taken during the 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 16th weeks after illness onset.
Always use a digit and the % symbol with percentages, unless it is the first word in a sentence.
Forty-three percent of our sample tested positive.
Percentages should immediately follow the number, not the phrase.
The disease was found in 12 (50%) of the 24 children.
Limit to specific statistical meaning. Connect ranges with an en-dash, unless introduced by the preposition "from," in which case use a joining conjunction is needed (e.g., "from… to" or "from… through"). Be careful with "between… and" constructions because they exclude both endpoints.
Participants were 18–20 years of age.
from 5% to 10%
from 1984 through 1990 (not between 1984 and 1990, unless 1984 and 1990 are not included)
The "from… to" construction may also be used for clarity if one or both of the limits in a range are negative.
from –70° to –40°
In ranges of time, particularly years, prepositions and conjunctions are critical in determining the actual amount of time included.
Between 1999 and 2001 = 1 year
From 1999 to 2001 = 2 years
From 1999 through 2001 = 3 years
When the range of years is not necessarily a calendar year and indicates only 1 year (e.g., influenza season, fiscal year, school year), it is ok to truncate the second year.
2005–06 influenza season
2004–05 school year
Repeat units in ranges if the unit is set closed up with the digit, but do not repeat units that are separated with a space.
from 40ºC to 70ºC
50–100 mL
from 80 to 89 mm Hg
Use a colon to express a ratio or dilution. Titers are expressed as the reciprocal of the dilution.
(length:width, 2:1)
The end IgG titer was 256 after a serial 1:2 dilution.
A ratio may also be expressed as a percentage. Note that a ratio becomes a rate only when an element of time is involved (such as number of deaths per population per year).
Seven of the 12 patients died; death ratio was 58.3%.
During 2000–2004, the average death rate was 12.7% per year.
Use SI units for units of measure, for example:
SI symbol
cubic millimeter
deciliter
kilodalton
microgram
microliter
milliliter
mol/L
However, some medical measurements follow other conventions [e.g., blood pressure (mm Hg), oxygen pressure (cm H2O), temperature (°C)]. To report both SI and conventional units, repeat the number in parentheses along with the unit of measure.
20 mmol/L (20 mEq/L)

Ferguson acquires Davis & Warshow
Move provides entry into the New York City residential and commercial plumbing market.
Ferguson Enterprises, the United States' largest plumbing distributor, officially acquired long-standing New York City wholesaler Davis & Warshow in a stock transaction. Davis & Warshow will continue to conduct business under its own name at its eight wholesale and seven showroom locations with its management team staying intact.
The acquisition is Ferguson's entry into the very competitive New York City market, a market where Davis & Warshow has thrived since opening its first location 87 years ago in the Lower East Side. Notably, Supply House Times named Davis and Warshow its 2009 Showroom of the Year winner in the 2,500-9,999-sq.-ft. showroom size category.
"The acquisition of a long-standing, well-respected distributor such as Davis & Warshow allows us to enter the New York City metropolitan area with a solid platform for growth and expansion," said Ferguson CEO Frank Roach.
This is Ferguson's sixth acquisition over the past 14 months. Last week, Ferguson reported sales of $9.7 billion in the 2012 fiscal year - a 10% increase over 2011. Read here for the story.
Davis & Warshow CEO Frank Finkel says his company will be able to grow with the backing of like-minded company Ferguson. "Ferguson and Davis & Warshow share the same primary focus - providing outstanding service and creating loyal customers," Finkel said. "We will continue to operate our business the same way we always have and expect to increase our service level even further with the vast resources of Ferguson behind us."
Back in 2006, Davis & Warshow adopted a 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan and since then Finkel and his son, David, who is company president and COO, have run the company as third and fourth generation leaders. Davis & Warshow was founded by Bernard Davis and he joined forces with Louis Warshow to open a modest plumbing supply business as New York City emerged as a major metropolitan area.
"We've built a solid foundation for the future," said David Finkel. "The benefits of this transaction for our employee owners give us great satisfaction. We anticipate continued growth and success in the years to come."

If you too are a seeker, particularly a seeker of your inner spiritual sense or if you are aware of your soul and want to share your soul experiences, either way you are welcome here to share your journeys, your discoveries, your joys and your misperceptions. Here we are meeting in the higher vibrations of love, joy and peace, reaching for enlightenment. Story and metaphor are delightful ways to share the wonder of life's experiences. In this place and this way we discover the wisdom that is truth within our being.
A bit of a story about a young woman who desired to attain wisdom and rapped on the door of very wise crone. The old, enwisened crone answered her plea by inviting her to come in, informing her that she would need to pay very close attention and then reminded her that wisdom can not be taught by words alone. Come in, share your story and be open to the possibilities; you can never fully know what surprises life will deliver. So it is.


Next month, Brian Zipin, the assistant sommelier at Citronelle, will become general manager of Michel Richard's new bistro, Central. Transition and reinvention is nothing new to the multi-talented Zipin, who has appeared on Broadway, played guitar at the famed Manhattan haunt CBGBs, and cut several records, including a tune for the movie"The Crush," starring Alicia Silverstone.
I'm a big acidity guy, and you need acidity with a meal like this. So I'm going with a Sangiovese – Morellino di Sconsano. It's got a little fruit to it, it's not overly oaked, and you can probably find it for about 15, 16 dollars. A lot of people's pick is a Pinot Noir, and that would just get totally lost on Thanksgiving.
• Toque-a-Scope: Are any of the chefs with multiple restaurants ever in the house?
I wanted to take a moment this morning to honor the memory of Jacqueline Rodier, who died last Tuesday at Johns Hopkins Hospital from complications after surgery for polycystic liver disease.
Younger readers won't remember her, and she was before my time as well, but Rodier was a legendary figure in the city — the grande dame of Washington dining. She was the maitre d' at the venerable L'Auberge Chez Francois back when it was still on Pennsylvania Ave. In the mid-70s, she left L'Auberge to start her own place — Jacqueline's on M St. (a space that now belongs to Vidalia). That was followed by another restaurant, Nicolas, located in the Mayflower Hotel.
I met her a couple of times, and it was like being in the company of old Hollywood royalty. She was beautiful and elegant, with high cheekbones and a grand, almost imperious manner that signaled to you that you were in the presence of someone formidable and important. She made men do her bidding. And they did. Most couldn't take their eyes off her. It was something to watch.
"The last time I saw her, she was here in the restaurant, and George Clooney and I were sitting around the table with her, drinking and smoking cigars. Jacqueline loved cigars. And she loved cognac. Anyway, we're drinking and smoking, and at some point I turned to her and said, 'If this were thirty years ago, you'd be mine.' And Clooney says, 'No, Robert, she'd be mine.' And writes it down on a napkin: 'To Jacqueline, you would be mine, not Robert's.'"
"There was nobody like her in the city, or in the country. You had Alice Waters, okay. But I don't know of any other woman who did what Jacqueline did. First of all, as a French woman who broke from that whole French parochial idea of who runs a restaurant. And here she was also, divorced and running a restaurant as a single woman, a single mom, and it was one of the best and most successful restaurants in the city. She was doing it twenty years before it became hip.
"She was stunning, she was French, she was impeccably dressed, she was commanding, and she knew how to play things — she knew how to work a room. She just disarmed people. She just had an incredible charm and allure. She was a timeless beauty.
"I mean, she was just an icon, you know?"

A few words on the meaning of tea.
They are occasioned by a recent commentary from Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. The commentary -- you can find it on YouTube -- scores the Tea Party movement as the outcry of people who haven't yet made peace with the fact that their president is black.
Everything else, said Olbermann, is euphemism. Taxes? Socialism? Budget deficit? No, he argued, when you strip away the pretenses and rationalizations, "it's still racism," and they hate the president only because he is black.
One is reminded of the 2008 campaign in which many of Barack Obama's opponents insisted people only "supported" him because he was black.


The Christian is a recipient of God's great grace and cannot earn a more favorable position with him. He has liberated them, guides them by his Holy Spirit, and continually forms them into the image of God's only Son. Such is the way of grace.
While God looks at the redeemed through the power of Christ's work, we are still flesh with weaknesses and flaws living in a fallen world. Though covered in his robe of righteousness still we come before him and pray the words of this great song. Cleanse us from the things hidden, let us follow your way and do not let us fall into any snare set for us by our enemy. May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart bring pleasure to God and honor him and his wonderful gift of grace.
Lord Jesus you are my strong, my solid rock, you are my redeemer for you alone were able to pay the price for my sin. Keep me from anything which would cause you dishonor and lead me in your strong and righteous paths. Amen.

Content is the currency of the web.If you want more sales, more traffic, improved SEO and/or better perception in your industry, content is just what you need.
Are you a busy CEO or Executive of a company? Do you want to build your reputation as an industry thought-leader and someone people should pay attention to but you simply don't have the time? If yes, I can help.
As a professional freelance writer, I will give you my very best work; I'll write articles on your behalf, and I will happily relinquish the credit. More importantly, all my articles will be adequately researched and backed with data. You will look REALLY smart, and a soul won't find out that I wrote the article.
With the rate at which new businesses are popping up, it is time for your business to evolve its strategy or die. Research shows that content marketing delivers 54 percent more leads than traditional outbound marketing and that 70 percent of consumers say that content marketing makes them feel closer to a company.
If you don't use content marketing, not only are you ignoring what your users really want but you're also losing out on over half of your leads. You can hire me to work on your content strategy.
If you need someone to execute your content strategy too, I will be happy to jump on board.
82 percent of marketers who blog see positive ROI for their inbound marketing and marketers that prioritize blogging are 13 times more likely to enjoy a positive ROI.
If you are not blogging, you are losing out on A LOT of leads. Imagine experiencing a significant boost in revenue simply by producing a few pieces of content every month? I can help make it happen. Hire me to help your company create quality content that will endear you to your audience and result in a positive ROI.
Landing page content that works isn't just "content." It is content that gets people to take the action you want them to take. Unfortunately, not everybody can create this kind of content.
You don't have to worry, though. I will help you create persuasive landing page content that gets your users to act. I'll go beyond that and optimize your content for the search engines so that it will rank well for your desired keywords on the long run.
Email is the most profitable of all marketing channels. A study by Monetate, that analyzed over 500 million shopping experiences, found that email beats both search and social media combined when it comes to conversions. Another study by the Direct Marketing Association found that you can expect an ROI of at least $38 for every $1 spent on email marketing.
Email marketing can help boost your sales and revenue, but email will only be effective if done right. You can hire me to take charge of your email newsletters and you'll start to see a positive ROI in no time.
One of the best ways to cement your position as an industry thought-leader is by creating ebooks, e-courses, and whitepapers. If you want one of the three, or even all three, having me on your team to help create these guides and reports will be one of your best business decisions.
One of the best ways to boost your reach, brand recognition, and positive perception is by guest blogging on authoritative blogs in your niche.
The smartest companies online today actively guest blog, and the results they get is instantly apparent: imagine how many more people know about you when you get featured on a blog with 100,000 readers? Imagine being able to claim to have been featured on the biggest blogs in your industry.
You can hire me to ghostwrite premium-level guest posts on some of the most authoritative blogs in your niche.

Mercedes "DAS" system ban is more interesting than you think
We should have seen it coming
Stijn Paspont posted in Speed Machines
Well, that didn't take long. As you've probably heard by now the DAS or Dual Axis Steering system developed by the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team is officially banned for the 2021 season. But wait. 2021? Does this mean they can use it in the upcoming season? Yes. And there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Let me explain.
Article 10.5.2 in the official 2021 F1 regulations states the following:
"The re-alignment of the steered wheels, as defined by the position of the inboard attachment of the relevant suspensions members that remain a fixed distance from each other, must be uniquely defined by a monotonic function of the rotational position of a single steering wheel."
2021 technical regulations
It's pretty much a fancy way of telling the wheels can only be moved by turning the steering wheel to the left or to the right. This rules out the DAS system as it allows the wheels to be moved by pushing or pulling on the steering wheel.
That specific rule is nowhere to be found in the 2020 technical regulations.
The FIA can't just quickly make up a new rule on the go. They need the permission of all 10 teams to do so. However, the FIA recently changed this. From the 2021 season and onwards they can in fact change the rules in between races. So if one team finds a loophole, the FIA has the right to fix it. This was in direct response to Mercedes and their DAS system.
What this means is that Article 10.5.2 in the 2021 regulations wasn't added today or yesterday following the massive media attention that came after the DAS discovery. It was added 4 months ago when the 2021 regulations were revealed.
That's right, DAS was banned before the fans and the other F1 teams even knew it existed. The FIA wasn't caught of guard or surprised by yesterdays events. They knew it existed all along. As soon as they found out a few months ago out they changed the regulations for 2021. It was the only thing they could do.
The only way for the DAS system to be banned this season is if qualifies as moveable/active aerodynamics or if it qualifies as a driver aid, and it doesn't look like either of those things apply. Another option is for all 10 teams, including Mercedes themselves, to agree on changing the current rules to outlaw it. That's even less likely to happen.
I've already seen people get unrightfully mad at the FIA for allowing this system. In reality, the FIA has done everything they could to prevent this. If you really want to get mad at someone then be mad at the other teams for not coming up with this themselves. Or be mad at literally everyone in the world for not raising any suspicion. The clue was right there under our noses for a whole 4 months!

I just love such articles Stijn. Like, a proper discussion about the exact rules with proof. Fantastic.
Also, was it the FIA reacting to such stuff because they knew about Mercedes?
Or could it have been Mercedes going through the 2021 regulations and then discovering "wait this is banned for 2021, so we can do this in 2020!"
Stijn Paspont
Most likely a reaction from the FIA. Cause why else would they type out such a specific rule
Lukas Hübl
I also think it was a reaction of the FIA, cause the Mercedes team stated multiple times, that they contacted the FIA in an early development phase to clarify, If this system is really legal, so FIA got informed and banned it for next...

I actually doubt that rule being written into the '21 rules was a reaction to DAS. I'm betting that it was put in place as a precaution as part of Brawn's loophole-closing plan
It could be an amazing case of coincidence but its very specific towards the steering wheel. I believe Brawn's loophole closing plans could have actually spawned from this whole thing. Nobody knows for how long mercedes have been...
I suppose but in a way, they're that specific towards basically everything...
Tanish Samanta
I think that the Mercedes DAS system is just a distraction for their rivals. And there is some greater or more major component that is lurking in the car.
Ali Mag
As far as I know by turning the steering wheel to the left or to the right and by pulling or pushing the same steering wheel Up and Down the fact remains that you are applying FORCE to the steering wheel. 🚬 😎

APT v11.4, The Last Update You'll Ever Register For!
Upgrade to AdvancePro v11.4 and never worry about keeping your AdvancePro up to date again. That's because AdvancePro v11.4 uses a push upgrade technology that will allow users to choose when they want to upgrade their system at the click of a mouse. We're always working to make the AdvancePro experience as simple and seamless as possible, and this update includes new features that make this the most efficient and powerful version of AdvancePro yet!
Managing pricing effectively is one of the most critical parts of running a successful business. Many companies have complex pricing schemes that change frequently or have markups and discounts for certain customers or products. Managing this process presents a difficult challenge, and costly pricing errors are common.
The new pricing tools in AdvancePro v11.4 make managing your pricing much simpler. Our tiered system allows users to control five different levels of pricing, which gives you the power to control pricing changes of increasing specificity with ease. V11.4 has added the ability to incorporate price lists into the global pricing interface that can be created or imported via Excel, and can be assigned to specific customers or customer groups. Additionally, users can now control contracted pricing details with set expiration dates.
Sales is the lifeblood of business, and ensuring your sales force has access to the up-to-date information they need to sell your products or services is key. However, it is often important to only give your reps access to needed information while limiting access to unnecessary information. For example, you may not want a sales team member to see the their colleagues' sales stats, and only want them to only be able to pull reports for their own sales. It might be necessary that your sales team sees real-time inventory levels but not to be able to change stock levels or delete SKUs. Every organization is different, and this update gives users the ability to control the level of access that their sales teams need to have.
For more detailed information on what levels of access you can give reps and how to control them please see the following knowledge base articles.
CRITICAL NOTE: as of November 1, 2016, AdvancePro officially stopped supporting 32-bit computer architecture. AdvancePro v11.4 and beyond will not be available in a 32-bit version.

These recommendations were developed based on the evidence from SBCC programs that have applied a gender lens.
2 Acknowledge that gender norms are not universal. It is important to note that although many of the same relationships between gender norms and inequalities and health exist in different areas of the world, how men and women live, interact and are treated is tied to broader cultural norms that can and do differ across communities and by social identities, including but not limited to social class, ethnicity, caste, etc.. Those involved in program design and implementation must ensure that their work is culturally sensitive and not built on assumptions about gender equality.
3 Balance the priority health needs of men and women, boys and girls. A focus on women's reproductive and maternal health are common, but more SBCC programs should explore how men and women interact as well as the health needs of men independent of women.
4 Improve couple communication. Communication between partners plays an important role in women's access to and use of healthcare services. Facilitating this conversation so women and men are involved in health-related decisions is an essential contribution of SBCC programs.
5 Programs should highlight the benefits to both men and women of working towards gender equity, which does not represent a zero-sum game but capitalizes on the strengths of interdependence. It may be important to target men directly to ensure that women's empowerment does not come at the expense of men feeling disenfranchised.
6 Consider socio-cultural contexts when defining male involvement. Although research has demonstrated the importance of greater male involvement for improved health outcomes, few studies have defined how and to what extent such involvement should occur. Programs must acknowledge that socio-cultural contexts, and individual preferences, play an important role in defining "ideal" male involvement. For example, some women may not want their partners to go to the clinic with them, but may desire their support in other ways. Therefore, programs should identify the gender norms and practices that are culturally and individually relevant barriers to health services.
7 Gather data from both men and women. Often, our knowledge about gender norms and practices are drawn from responses from women. In formative research and M&E, programs must also collect information from men on their attitudes, concerns and aspirations.


Ethnic Studies is excellent preparation for graduate school and professional careers. Ethnic Studies majors and minors enter government service, politics, community/social service, business, public school teaching/administration, higher education teaching/administration, social work, counseling, law, journalism, and much more.
Ethnic Studies has prepared me for my current career activities by allowing me to realize that the process of education does not always take place in a classroom, but is a "communion" between participants in a dialogue characterized by a reciprocal, and socially relevant exchange.
Ethnic Studies prepared me to work with the diverse community of Del Paso Heights. The focus is on how one can take the theories and philosophies of Ethnic Studies and turn them into programs and activities that create a real difference in the community.
The Ethnic Studies program has educated me on historical and contemporary issues of various Ethnic groups which contributed to my foundation of understanding Civil and Equal Rights.

JNS.org – President Donald Trump vowed to fight against evil in his statement marking Friday's International Holocaust Remembrance Day, on the 72nd anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
"I pledge to do everything in my power throughout my presidency, and my life, to ensure that the forces of evil never again defeat the powers of good," Trump said.
"Together, we will make love and tolerance prevalent throughout the world," he added.
Trump's statement made no mention of the Jewish people or antisemitism.
Meanwhile, other world leaders spoke of the rise of extremism, including antisemitism, in their respective statements for the commemoration.
Germany's outgoing Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that his country will never forget the crimes committed by the Nazi regime.
"History should be a lesson, warning and incentive all at the same time. There can and should be no end to remembrance," he said.

We all get those days when we don't want super bold hairstyle, but that doesn't mean that we would settle for a simple bun. This chain ponytail is perfect for those days: it's understated yet pretty, with a sassy detail in the back that gives it that chic feel.
Step 1: The prep step is important, because you want your hair to be strong, to deal with the rigours of styling. For this we'd recommend you use the TRESemmé Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner, as it strengthens hair and reverses the look of damage for up to 2 years. Once your hair is washed and dried you can begin styling. This look works best with loose curls or waves, but sleek hair works well too. To begin, spay a bit of the TRESemmé Volume & Lift Mousse to the mid-lengths of your hair, to give it volume and hold.
Step 2: Take a section of hair from either side of your ponytail and tie these together as if you're tying a knot. Repeat using the same sections of hair.
Step 3: Once the two pieces of hair are knotted almost to the bottom, tie them together with the leftover hair, using a small elastic. When this is secure, begin pulling on the 'links' of your ponytail to make it look bigger and more chain-like.
Step 4: Hide the elastic by covering it, by wrapping a piece or hair from the ponytail around it. Tuck the leftover piece in with a bobby pin. To finish, pull out a few strands of hair in the front, to frame your face.


Marketing: Are You the Messy Type?
Do you have a "when I remember to do it" marketing approach?
Do you market to "only some of your clients" and "only some of the time"?
Does your marketing tend to be a messy, thrown-together, if-I-have-time, last-minute effort?
Are you discouraged with your marketing results?
If so, you aren't alone; but I implore you to re-think your marketing initiatives. The truth is, messy marketing produces little to no results, which is discouraging... causing you to avoid it until the next marketing requirement rears its ugly head... at which time, you quickly produce a messy, thrown-together, last-minute piece... that yields little to no results... leading to increased discouragement and avoidance... Do you see where this is going?
It doesn't have to be this way! You can quickly send out professional marketing campaigns that yield successful results. And it can be done easily if you incorporate 5 key elements into your marketing. It's what I call Intelligent Marketing.
• Personalized - It's more nurturing and enticing when we receive a marketing piece that feels like it was written just for us. I LOVE my name - I love to see it, hear it, say it. And studies show (or at least I'm under the impression that they do) I'm not alone (because that would make me narcissistic). Most people love their names - so make sure to include a 'Dear Tina' opening line. Also, sprinkle other known personal info into the body of the message - just remember to keep it professional, not creepy.
• Relevant - Our marketing pieces should contain information that relates to our customers' needs, wants and behaviors. The last thing we want to do is send discount offers on snow blowers to our Florida residents. Remember the target audience when sending marketing messages.
• Well-Timed - Be considerate of people's inbox. We don't want to lose business by over-loading our customers with emails, or by sending them too infrequently. Find the "just right" for your industry's customers. In regard to marketing follow-ups (or follow-throughs), research shows that our first contact attempt with new leads should come within 5 minutes of receiving their information, or they are likely to purchase elsewhere.
• Thorough - We always want to use a variety of media throughout our marketing campaigns to create a multi-channel approach. We want to include a mix of postcards, letters, emails and phone calls.
• Automated - Last, we want to deliver our intelligent marketing pieces consistently over a prolonged period of time. To do this efficiently, consider implementing an automated system, also known as a drip marketing system. Drip marketing is a system that automatically sends our marketing messages to our targeted contacts.
Implementing these 5 key elements into our marketing initiatives can, ultimately, save us time and money - and our precious sanity. With some initial efforts on our parts, we can transform our marketing efforts from messy to moneymaking!

Are You Loading Your Box Trucks Safely?
When your work trucks pull to a stop in a loading zone or job site, the focus on safety doesn't end — in fact, the interaction with the vehicles increases.
Safely operating commercial vehicles extends beyond standard behind-the-wheel training. While keeping your drivers safe on the road is an ever-present concern, ensuring their safety once the vehicle is off is just as important, although often overlooked.
When your work trucks pull to a stop in a loading zone or job site, the focus on safety doesn't end — in fact, the interaction with the vehicles increases. Safety protocols for those ubiquitous delivery trucks — box trucks — should highlight every point of interaction with the vehicle, including the loading, unloading, and storage of cargo, driver protection, load retention, and ramp safety.
These tips will help you, your drivers, and your drivers' helpers avoid safety pitfalls and their resulting injuries.
For used truck purchases, access the final vehicle manufacturer certificate on the B pillar or door jamb, which will identify the body manufacturer. With the truck's VIN, a phone call to the body manufacturer should determine the weight rating of the floor. In addition to floor weight reinforcement, you must consider slip prevention.
The trucks in my fleet are installed with non-slip floor coating on the rear 3 feet of the body and at the side door. Of the many brands to consider, you'll need to find the best combination of non-slip effectiveness, durability, and cost.
Box trucks can be loaded in a variety of ways: by hand, with a floor jack or pallet jack, lift truck, or conveyor. Each presents different challenges when it comes to safety.
Do you know how heavy your loads are and the overall weight distribution of the loaded truck? There is a natural tendency to stack loads higher near the cab than the back, especially if the body is not completely full. This could transfer too much weight to the front axle, which generally has a gross axle weight rating of about half of the rear axle.
Aim for a flat, even load before securing it. Pallets can shift en route if they're not properly centered and strapped or shrink-wrapped.
While shrink wrapping is a great way to secure pallet loads, the shrink wrapping is often cut to access part of a load for a delivery. Once broken down, shrink wrap loses its ability to restrain boxes from shifting. Therefore, consider how the remaining individual boxes are contained while in motion.
Boxes should be loaded with a last-in, first-out thought process so that individual or loosely restrained boxes high in the stack can be repositioned on the floor, closer to the back door as deliveries are made.
Individual pallets without loads can shift in a moving truck and cause a hazard. As pallets are unloaded, secure empty ones with straps to the E-track on the side walls.
Common devices to aid load retention and cargo storage include cargo nets and E-track rail systems.
Cargo nets are particularly helpful in preventing boxes from falling if the truck is parked on an uneven surface. The cargo net should be able to be relocated to any position throughout the length of the interior based on diminishing load volume.
The blank walls of a box truck offer solutions to secure your load. Non-slip floor coatings (A) are cost effective and roll on like paint. Notice the coating added to the side door as well. This self-designed cargo net (B) has extra strap lengths and adjustable cam-type buckles that allow the net to be curved around a load that has a high stack height where one side of the load is farther forward than the other because of partial deliveries. E-track (C) is essential to keep cargo and equipment safely tied down during transport. Understanding your load heights will help you space the height of the rails (These are placed at 16, 32, 46, and 66 inches.) Notice the two rows of 6-inch hardwood "scuff" (D) affixed to the bottom of the sides and front, which prevent damage from lift truck forks moving a pallet.
Cargo nets aren't expensive. You could even custom design one, as I did for one of the major fleets I ran. My cargo net was stowed on E-track and was adjustable with cam-type buckles.
Cargo nets start with capacities of 1,500 pounds and increase based on the manufacturer, type of material, the tensile strength of each strap, and how many straps are used. Make sure you know how heavy your load is and then size the net accordingly.
E-track is mounted to the interior sides of the truck body and in some cases the front. There are an infinite number of options available.
You need to ensure that your van drivers and passengers have proper protection as well. Partitions, or bulkheads, divide the cab from the cargo area and keep tools and equipment from hitting the driver and passenger during a sudden stop.
Bulkheads have the added benefit of creating a wall that can be used to attach equipment. In addition to safety, bulkheads serve to deaden noise from the cargo area, and keep the desired air temperature where it's needed, the cabin.
Bulkheads are available with a few choices: solid, perforated, wire mesh, or a combination. If you desire pass-through access to the cargo area, you can opt for a hinged partition or a door in the middle of the panel.
A wire partition, or "headache" wire, is an economical solution that provides maximum visibility while providing maximum protection for the driver and passengers.
Ramps are a great way to unload box trucks safely and ergonomically, if you have the right equipment. There are many choices based on application.
Ramps are solid or grated (aka "ventilated") and made from various materials, including metals such as aluminum or magnesium. Some are reversible and have replaceable sections.
A ventilated ramp allows rain and snow to fall through it. Imagine a narrow, angled walkway with an accumulation of snow — a ventilated ramp will prevent the "ski ramp" no one wants.
Look for ramps with a knobby surface, which also prevents ice buildup and gives the driver's boot a better grip.
When selecting a ramp, consider its weight and the ability of your workers to remove it from its carrier and install it. Ventilated ramps made of aluminum are some of the lightest.
For easier ramp deployment, consider a ramp lift assist, which will greatly reduce the ergonomic strain on your workers.
Additionally, look at the sides of the ramp — are they high enough to prevent a loaded dolly wheel from hopping over the side? A dolly that falls over the side will most likely take the operator with it.
Speaking of dolly operation, don't overlook training on its proper use. Common errors include using a dolly that isn't wide enough to accommodate the desired load and stacking a dolly too high, obscuring vision.
Human nature is such that if your dolly is built to handle seven boxes, your load handler will invariably stack more. I've seen unapproved stacking contests with one loader getting down the ramp successfully with 12 boxes — not a record of which to be proud.
Ramp safety often goes overlooked. A "ventilated" ramp (E) with a knobby surface will prevent snow and rain buildup while allowing a good shoe grip. Consider a ramp with sides (F) that are high enough to prevent a loaded dolly wheel from hopping over the side. Ramps are heavy. For easier ramp deployment, a ramp lift assist (G) will greatly reduce the ergonomic strain on your workers. A lift assist also ensures that the ramp is properly secured before operation.

Many companies aren't big enough to have a dedicated safety department. That task often falls on the owner and might receive little or no attention among other non-revenue generating issues.
That said, it's not too difficult to keep safety top of mind if you have a plan.
You should require your fleet employees to attend at minimum one monthly safety meeting. Keep detailed records of the agenda, subjects covered, questions asked and answered, and have all attendees sign an attendance sheet. Retain these records.
Listen to the suggestions of your drivers and warehouse employees — after all, they're the ones in the trenches with your equipment every day.
The modifications and additions offered in this article aren't expensive when compared to a damaged load or a workers' compensation case, not to mention the life-changing toll injuries can take on your employees. Remember, safety first — not cost first.

I didn't try enchiladas until I was in my 20s, but ever since then, I've been hooked. Sadly, the recipes I like the best are not really healthy; however, I have found a delicious - and healthy - recipe from Skinnytaste. Not only do you make the enchiladas, but you also make the enchilada sauce.
The first time that I made these took way longer than I had anticipated. In fact, I was so late for a play date, because I was trying to make this recipe, that my friends joked I was out in the garden growing the ingredients, harvesting the produce, and then making the meal. Now that I've made this recipe more than once, I am much quicker at pulling the enchiladas together. They are worth the effort - sooooo good. And HEALTHY! Give them a try. You won't regret it!


As I mentioned the other day in the holidays, they're here, 'with the holidays here the drum beat of real estate is about to take a back seat to the enjoyment of family and friends, the celebrations of the season and..' So while I'll continue to report the goings-on in Tucson Foothills real estate, like many of you, I'll be spending more time getting ready for and enjoying the people and events of the season.
Ours was a little different this year.
We spent Thanksgiving with some friends, and friends and relatives of those friends. There were 18 people for dinner, and it was delightful.
We feasted and had fun, but we were a little sad and lonely.
For the first time ever, we didn't spend Thanksgiving with our daughters, Margot and Jenna.
They're in Greece on a study abroad program, and couldn't come home for the holiday, so they celebrated Thanksgiving in their new world, with their new friends, and we did it here in Tucson, with old and new friends. Fortunately, my daughters were invited to the home of their Greek language teacher (that's her in the center) along with other American and Greek students, to celebrate Thanksgiving, with turkey, plenty of Greek trimmings, and apple and pumpkin pie, which my daughters made.
They're in Thessaloniki, a city in northern Greece, studying at Aristotle University. And while they're learning to deal with the ways of life in a different culture, knowing them, I'm sure they're also teaching the Greeks a few things about our way of life.
Our Greek Odyssey, for the gory details.
and enjoying that beautiful island.
Then they traveled around Greece a bit and finally settled in Thessaloniki in early fall to start school at Aristotle U.
Needless to say, we miss them a lot, and it's harder than ever at this time of year, for them, and for us. But we keep telling ourselves that they're having an incredibly wonderful experience learning about the world out there and having a lot of fun while they finish college.
Take a welcome day off and Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day.


"The Cybernations Manifesto" or "Cyber-Socialism"
I like the idea but it just wouldn't work in real life. Just like communism.
Also, the farmers rate towards others should be a lot larger.
My idea is that all the aid slots should be filled, therefore, soldiers should receive 150-250 tech every 10 days.
So it should be 1 seller for 1 buyer ratio. But that's impossible too.
Therefore, I'll just stay with my capitalism and seeking for your own personal tech sellers.
In a perfect world ... maybe. I suppose we'd call that world Utopia.
We are not living in Utopia and there is no good reason for a ruler to sacrifice his/her nation for the good of others when he sees some of those others taking and not giving back. That is an inevitability ... some takers will not give back and they will ultimately break the system.
And in compliance with your colleague, James Dahls theory on the ecosystem, the soldiers will be far to evolved to defend probably due to the number of assumed Predators and low numbers of Giants, leaving the whole alliance in a very unlucky situation during war.
How do the farmers benefit? They are getting 3mil for 200 tech? That doesn't live them with any of the three mil afterwards, unless there's a part I missed.
They don't. One of the reasons that you can't call it socialism in modern CyberNations.


Read Elizabeth Holtzman on the call for impeachment. It is certainly not too late and may indeed be vital for the future if America is to remain at all democratic.
It has in effect acted like ruthless and legalistic totalitarian force in a world that has been damaged by the deliberate crimes against progress for the USA.

The primary conflict in the Assassin's Creed series is set between two opposing schools of thought that became separate orders. Although seeking a similar end, the Assassins and Templars have fought bitterly over the way to achieve that end throughout history.
According to some, the Assassins and Templars once shared the same hopes and dreams for humanity, even the same ideals; though this has long been forgotten in the face the secret war the factions have fought against each other for millennia.
While the Assassins seek to protect free will as the true expression of humanity's ability to improve itself, the Templars feel that the only way humans can achieve perfection is through the limitation of free will and the guidance of a firm hand.
These differing ideologies have put the Assassins and Templars in direct opposition, causing them to wage a clandestine war against each other behind the backdrop of human history.

Pokemon (-o-)
Next: Cyberpunk 2077 aftermath
So two things that I wanted to bring up. After seeing so many people talk about Black and white I have not heard any of you guys really talking about Black 2 and White 2. I picked up a copy of each not long ago and I am enjoying them very much. While it seems a bit weird to be playing almost the same game over they made enough changes that it really is a 2. You get to run into alot of the people from the first and see the story develop even more. Once lunch time rolls around I was will post my friend code up here in case any of you guys want to connect up.
Second and i think a little cooler. I found a nifty java file a guy did to reprogram Pokemon red, blue, or emerald rom's. Its pretty cool he does some bug fixes and type fixes in red/blue. Which is nice but the main thing is he lets you set you starting pokemon to random. So any of the 151 pokemon you can get as your starter. You can also set all the TM's to random to really mix things up. For me it gives me a reason to play back through the first pokemon games again which is pretty cool.

I lost interest in buying/playing the games after gold/silver. I'll always appreciate them though :D
Tigran Nov 15, 2012 at 14:53 UTC
I haven't played Pokemon since the original red and blue...
I'd be afraid to try picking it up again after so long.
knburkett Nov 15, 2012 at 14:54 UTC
I feel the same way about Dragon Quest Monster: Joker 2. The pro version is basically the same game but much more indepth. I would totally buy pro if it was ported to the US. Even though I own the vanilla version and have a rom of pro with a playable fan translation.
leif2251 Nov 15, 2012 at 15:19 UTC
I went back to it a few years ago with soul silver, it really is one of those games that just hits you with a charm offensive. But I refuse to play another Pokemon game until it comes out on the 3ds.
I do like the sound of starting with a random Pokemon it would make the game a lot more interesting.
I enjoy how they don't really change anything about pokemon. They add some new things and they upgrade some stuff but the main game is still the same after all of these games. I also enjoy the lightheartedness that the games have. While the story might not interest everybody out there, by the end of the game I bet you have at least one pokemon that you have really become attached too.
I can't wait for a 3ds pokemon. I have hopes that they will start over with a red/blue.
I love the games, but the pokemon are not always my favorite. The generations seem to have themes I do not always are for... like food items... or appliances.
Mike7 Nov 15, 2012 at 15:44 UTC
I'am right now heading to the pokemon League to take them on. I really love this series but took a lot time away from it. The last one i played was pearl version and before that silver. I agree with leif and the fact that it does hit you with that charm effect. Im not sure if I wanna go get white 2. I think this series does a lot of things right. I do however think some of the pokemon just aren't that original, but that's not that big of a deal (deerling) lol
I do hope the next game that comes out is for the 3DS
The Pokemon i use as of right now are as follows.
Thundurus
Simipour
Vanilluxe
Genesect
Terrakion
maybe not the greatest team but they have gotten me to where iam in the game so for now im sticking with them :)
Dean (AKA - The Awkward Gamer)
I haven't picked up Black 2 or White 2 yet but I do still need to do so. I've always been a fan except for the fact that you can't get every Pokemon on one cart without trading. Well, you can, you just need to get a Pro Action Replay.
I've always found them to be very original and enjoyable RPGs though and when Gold and Silver came out and had day/night and day of the week mechanics, that was an amazing inovation in RPGs that wasn't used before, so the games really were quite impressive. Some people make them out to be childish but if you play one or two you'll see they involve a lot of strategy and can be quite difficult.

But on to the subject I haven't played Pokemon in a while. I borrowed my friends leaf green a while back.. a long while back. I never passed the 4th gym because I was busy with other things in life outside of video games. I only recently started to play again thanks to my 3DS purchase. I plan on either picking up Black/White version 2 or waiting til the 3DS versions come out.
Alright Lunch time = play time.
My friend code in case any of you want to friend me in the game is. 5072 1868 3215
I can't remember my code of the top of my head but ill prob hit you up.

I love pokemon black 2. It's way better than the first.
I want a 3d real time rpg version of pokemon.... Explore the regions in wide open 3d environments. Throwing pokeballs out and controlling the pokemon and having 4 set moves and them having specific movements and abilities... Funsies
Me and my brother always wanted to make a Pokemon MMO. With random starters, and the ability to catch any pokemon.
there is a pokemon MMO out there. You have to have a rom of one of the games to play and its a little weird but there is one. Its player made so don't expect anything life altering out of it but I hoped that with players making one Nintendo will start to think about it.

I think i saw that. It let everyone traverse the game together ad you could battle people you would walk up to, an you could cath all the pokemon but it used an existing rom plus their mod right?
yeah that is the one.
I remember even before that a browser based MMO where it was basically neopets. You found pokemon in wild and fought and captured them, and could challenege people and such, just the only graphics were in the fights, but not like in the games. Just the sprites.
There are a ton of facebook games that are very pokemon like but they just don't have the real feel of pokemon. I have played a ton of them up to the point where you have to start paying money to get the bigger guys or to get items that you need in fights or quests.
I dislike the ones that use energy too, I don't feel like being tied to how many moves per minute/hour I can perform.
