Do Formulary Lists Reduce Patient Access to Prescription Drugs?
By Laurie Toich, Associate Editor
A new report highlights the potential pitfalls of formulary exclusion lists used by pharmacy benefit managers.
Formulary lists are used by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to control costs and prevent unnecessary drug spending by incentivizing the use of lower cost and generic medications over costlier branded products.
PBMs say this practice reduces overall spending on prescription drugs and helps patients lower their out-of-pocket costs; however, advocates argue that formulary lists could actually harm patients by limiting access to therapies.
A report published by the Doctor-Patient Rights Project suggests that the number of drugs included on formulary exclusion lists has significantly increased over the last few years and may leave hundreds of thousands of Americans without access to proper treatment.
The new study found that the number of drugs included on both Express Scripts' and CVS Caremark's formulary exclusion lists increased from 132 in 2014 to 244 for 2018, an increase of more than 160%.

Review CVS' 2018 formulary here.
The authors suggest that patients with cancer may be required to switch to generic treatments and low-income minority patients with diabetes are hit especially hard by formulary exclusion lists.
"Formulary exclusion lists can undoubtedly serve as important tools to help manage the skyrocketing cost of patient care," said Stacey Worthy, executive director of the Alliance for the Adoption of Innovations in Medicine. "But, in some instances, these lists can also cause stable patients to lose access to their medications in the middle of their treatment regimens, resulting in adverse events. Therefore, formulary exclusion lists must be implemented carefully so as not to disrupt care."
The authors said that CVS was the first PBM to begin including cancer drugs on its formulary exclusion lists. Although CVS said cancer treatments were only excluded when an effective generic was available, the authors examined several studies that questioned the efficacy of the generic treatments, according to the study.
A significant number of diabetes drugs are also excluded from the formulary lists of large PBMs, the authors found. The analysis revealed that diabetes drugs account for one-fifth of all exclusions, an 80% increase over the last 4 years, according to the study.
Notably, diabetes drugs were the most excluded category, with the number of exclusions increasing each year.
The authors also found that low-income and minority patients may face the greatest impact by formulary exclusion lists. Low-income African American and Hispanic patients with diabetes may be more likely to skip doses of excluded drugs to make the prescription last longer or they may stop treatment altogether, according to the study.
The authors concluded that if even a small number of patients stop adhering to or discontinue therapy as a result of formulary exclusion lists, the resulting medical costs would significantly outweigh what was saved.
In contrast to the study, PBMs say that they have developed special pathways to ensure that patients can access necessary treatments and remain adherent to established regimens, meaning that just because a drug is excluded does not mean that all patients are unable to gain access.

I'd been meaning to write you before this, and just like with Heroes, my tardiness (okay, laziness) has lead you to destruction. I saw it happening but instead of talking to you about it, I just ignored the problems you were having. I figured, Leverage is smart. It'll find it's sea legs. That cutsey music will go. Someone will hear it as LOUDLY as I do. But no. I let you down and for that I apologize.
But you know you shouldn't have started using that music. & you shouldn't have boo-ed everybody up. Parker & Hardison as a couple is annoying. So are Nate and Sophie. It was boring.
The jobs were stupid this season, except the finale (natch). I'd hear the set-up and not only turn it off, but INSTANTLY delete it. I guess I'll catch them someday, but I didn't want them hogging up so much DVR time.
And I say all of this because, I really loved you. I got a bunch of my friends to watch you and they told their friends. That Season 2 boost in ratings, you're welcome.
But I know I'll see you all soon. I'm really going to miss you. Hardison, Parker, Elliot. You guys will work and you're good, so good luck.
I'm so not worried about Nate (he has an Oscar already). Sophie can ago on Downton if she wants (which I suggest) or spend some time with her baby. These are the good years.
So I say adieu to you.

Julie's roles include bookkeeping, VAT returns and accounts preparation.
Julie joined Anderson Phillips in 2010, having previously gained her AAT qualification working in other Accountancy Practices. Since having children, Julie has kept working with a couple of part-time bookkeeping jobs before joining the firm.
When Julie is not organising her three boys' social lives, playing mum's taxi or standing on the side of the football or hockey pitch, she likes to ride her bicycle and walk the dog.


The numbers speak for themselves. U.S.-based private-equity firms employ 8.1 million people by one estimate,1 out of a total workforce of roughly 154 million. That's one in 20 workers, meaning at a cocktail party, kegger, or family reunion, there's a good chance at least one person ultimately works for private equity.
KKR and Blackstone together, through the companies they own, count more than 1.5 million workers between them, based on data they post on their websites. That makes the firms huge employers on a global scale. Walmart had about 2.2 million employees at the end of 2012, according to Bloomberg data.

The Good Place's Jameela Jamil Called Out the Kardashians

Reality TV's first family is getting an earful from Jameela Jamil. Cosmopolitan reports that the actor called out the Kardashians for pushing ta patriarchal narrative into the world, even though they seem to be spreading messages of female empowerment. During an appearance on the podcast Change the World, Jamil said that the Kardashians are profiting from the patriarchy — and that they're reinforcing harmful and hurtful ideas about how women should look and act.
Jamil explained that she sees the Kardashian family as pushing false ideas about female empowerment. Take Khloe's show, Revenge Body, for example, which encourages women to slim down in order to feel better about themselves after a breakup. Jamil says that it's that sort of attitude that makes the Kardashians complicit in pushing outdated patriarchal ideas.

"The double agent for the patriarchy is basically a woman who, perhaps unknowingly, is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world," she says. "Is still benefitting off of, profiting off, and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women."
It's not new territory for Jamil. Back in May, she clapped back at the Kardashians when they were promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops on social media. The fact that they're women profiting makes no difference, she says, because it's still dangerous to be pushing unrealistic expectations, whether it's about body image or not.
"It's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you're on our side," Jamil added. "But you are selling us something that really doesn't make us feel good."
Jamil went on to say that the Kardashians are selling poison. It may not be actual poison, but she sees it as toxic to the well-being of women everywhere. Though the sisters may seem to be pushing messages of self-acceptance, Jamil says that there's always an undercurrent of self-hate, because in the Kardashian world, there's no such thing as being too skinny or too contoured.

"You're selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You're, like, recycling hatred."
The Kardashians haven't responded to Jamil's statements, but fans know that they're never ones to back down. It's only a matter of time before things get heated.

Poland is leading the way with the number of women who hold managerial jobs in the EU, second only to Latvia.
According to research by the Entrepreneurial Women Network, (Fundacja Kobiet) the number of women working as CEOs is rapidly catching up with men, with women holding 41.8 percent of all managerial posts in Poland.
The survey also found that Polish women not only outnumber men when it comes to academic qualifications but are increasingly catching up with men in setting up their own businesses, with 37 percent of companies established being run by women.
This, says the report, means that almost every tenth Polish woman runs her own business, compared to only 3.3% in Germany.
Katarzyna Wirzebowska, head of the Foundation which supports women's business initiatives by building a network of contacts and organizing trainings for those who have a business idea, told TFN: "Women are open and want to develop. They don't compete as fiercely as men do but they appreciate more the support of each other.
"I used to work in a corporation and had business partners in Greece and Italy.
She added that one of the reasons for the increase in women setting up their own businesses is that Poland is catching up with the Western Europe in terms of living standards.
But she stressed that despite the increases, women in Poland still earn less than men in the same positions, pointing out that this is another factor for women to work for themselves.
She said: "Polish women are very ambitious and enterprising.
"In socialist Poland women were encouraged to work. After the Second World War, there was a shortage of hands to work.
"Women were therefore recruited with slogans like 'Women on tractors' and motivated to apply for any jobs, also those considered typical men's professions.
"So men in Poland quickly got used to the fact that women are professionally active in any area.

We were originally proposing not to release a new version of this report until the validated RAISE Inspection Dashboards were released to schools, but it seems that this will not now happen until the end of March, which is rather late. Therefore we have provided this version with unvalidated 2016 figures so that schools can make use of it until then.
This new version (v1.1) when used in conjunction with the templates published on 23rd January will, in addition to the figures in the previous version published on 12th December, also populate with analyses and graphs for Progress and Attainment in the 'subject pillars' of Science, Humanities and Languages.
There are now tabs for all the measures on the official RAISE report of Progress and Attainment 8, English, Maths, Ebacc, Open, Science, Humanities, Languages and Threshold measures.
Although the import file name has the extension of v1.1, the report itself will simply import over the previous version published on 12th December. This is the only file which has changed but this and the latest versions of all of the resources can be found here.
This is very complex report which, depending how much data is to be analysed, may take a considerable time to run. Not particularly for extracting data from SIMS but for the time to process and display that data in Excel, the latter which may well take 2 or 3 minutes so please be patient even though the screen may go blank for a time.
Each graph has a button with a macro to rescale the graphs so that they fit better on the page, so the output file must be saved as a macro enabled Excel file in order for them to work.


With Facebook's Oculus Rift making waves and Sony's continued advancements on the virtual reality front with Project Morpheus, it's clear that virtual reality is having something of a resurgence — and potentially a renaissance. But what are the odds of it really coming to fruition?
These new VR headsets are not the first of their kind. VR gaming has been around for decades, but it was simply never a success. Perhaps it was just the technological limitations of the time, or a market that wasn't ready to embrace the technology (or headaches). Maybe it was just the pricetag. To understand what may be different this time around, it's important to take a look at some of the iterations of VR in the past.
Apple wasn't the first one with "i" products, and Virtuality Group wasn't the only one working on VR projects in the 1990s. Virtual I/O put together a headset capable of stereoscopic 3D with color and head tracking — the visuals turned when players turned their heads — and for a price tag under $1000.
One of the more impressive VR headsets to come out was the Cybermaxx by Victormaxx. It was preceded by the Stuntmaster, which was more or less an LCD screen embedded in a visor that included an odd system for head tracking that used a pole coming up from a user's shoulder. The Cybermaxx upped the ante with solid head tracking, colorful stereoscopic 3D, and a pricetag below $1000.
By putting players into a cockpit that simulates that of the giant mech they operate and adding a wrap-around screen that makes it seem like players are looking out of their mech, it simulates the experience of being inside and controlling the mech. Check out the video below — the action starts at about 1:20.
Fortunately for gamers who have been waiting for VR to make it big, the VR renaissance seems much more likely to get into a groove this time around. With support for Oculus Rift coming from Facebook, Sony getting in on the action with Morpheus, and Microsoft and Google getting into gear, it's clear that there is some big pressure to finally push VR into the mainstream and make it more widely available and supported by more developers.

How can I suppress this dialog?
Note: This dialog needs to be present or else the installer throws error 2803: dialog view did not find a record for the dialog. I just need to not display it to the user somehow, or (if possible) to choose a selection for them.

A: According to the tips on installsite (see below), this does not seem not possible, since it is a Windows OS behavior. From my own experience, an alternative way to bypass this issue is to have a custom action to detect the running process and then prompt user that the process is running, close that app before uninstall. Uninstall an app while it is running is not good, it may leave some files and registry entries unless you do a clean uninstall next time or manually delete them.
How do I prevent the FilesInUse Dialog from displaying?

Set the Attributes column of the Dialog table for the FilesInUse
  dialog to 0.
Depending on your authoring tool, this is equivalent to marking the
  dialog to be "hidden", "modeless", and "NoMinimize".
Note that this trick will only work if your setup runs with full or reduced user interface. In basic UI mode Windows Installer uses its
  own built-in dialogs instead of the dialogs you authored in the msi
  file.

Disney XD puts a fresh spin on a sci-fi classic with the new series TRON: Uprising.
You can't keep a good franchise down: Two years after the theatrical reception of Disney's TRON: Legacy, which added fresh faces and cool new CG effects to the 1982 sci-fi sensation, a new animated take on the in-game universe called TRON: Uprising will take its place on Disney XD this month.
Following the spectacular half-hour prelude, which aired on the network and Disney Channel in May, the series is set between the events of the original film and the 2010 sequel. Uprising centers on Beck (voiced by Elijah Wood) , a young mechanic living in Argon City in a far corner of The Grid which is under the tyrannical grip of General Tesler (Lance Henriksen), a henchman of the evil Clu. When Beck's friend is "derezzed" by Clu's army, he incites a rebellion which draws the attention of Tron (the one and only Bruce Boxleitner), the legendary hero of The Grid, who takes Beck on as a disciple.
The top-notch cast is further aided by Mandy Moore, Emmanuelle Chriqi, Nate Corddry, Reginald VelJohnson, Paul Reubens and Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer as the narrator and voice of The Grid. The show is produced by Disney Television Animation.
For executive producer and series director Charlie Bean—an animation veteran whose career has spanned Tiny Toon Adventures, Ren & Stimpy, Samurai Jack, Robotboy, SpongeBob SquarePants and The Amazing World of Gumball, and taken him to L.A., Paris and London—the chance to involve himself in the iconic world of TRON was all the incentive needed to call him back from the U.K., where he was creative director for Cartoon Network's European development studio.
He recalls, referring to Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the exec producers of Lost who scripted TRON: Legacy and serve as consulting producers on the series with Legacy co-producer Justin Springer.
Bean officially came on board at the end of 2009, but before he could dive into The Grid there were some key people he knew he wanted at his side—one of them being art director and production designer Alberto Mielgo, a Madrid-born artist and animator Bean had worked with in London.
Mielgo's recollection is not quite as fond.
After a little more sleep, Mielgo—whose freelance clients include the likes of WB, DreamWorks, BBC, Playstation and Disney—came on board. As did Valley, whose projects list boasts Peter Chung's seminal animated sci-fi series Aeon Flux and work for toon rock group Gorillaz.
Other key drivers of the show's unique look and narrative are lead vehicle designer Daniel Simon, a world-renowned car designer born in Germany who has taken his experiences at Bugatti, Volkswagen and Lotus and translated them into cool vehicle concepts for Hollywood (you can see his work in Captain America and Prometheus) and was charged with delivering animated versions of TRON's light cycles, light jets and the rest; head writer/story editor Scott Nimerfro, whose credits include Tales from the Crypt, Pushing Daisies, Star Trek: Voyager and X-Men the film; and composer Joseph Trapanese, who collaborated with Daft Punk for TRON: Legacy's soundtrack in addition to work for TV's Dexter and Burn Notice and orchestration for Fast Five and Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
While Disney had plans for a toon version of TRON for a long while, the concept behind Uprising underwent its share of changes during the roughly year-long development phase with which Bean and Mielgo were involved. Bean explains the series was original conceived as a 10-installment run of three-minute microsodes. But when the micros were edited into a 30-minute episode, the studio realized the feasibility of creating a full on half-hour episodic show. Thus the creative heads managed to create a bit more work for themselves.
The world was, comparatively, easily realized with the live-action film references and the director notes Mielgo's earliest concept paintings held up through to the final production result. (Concept work the artist created for another sci-fi project that struck Bean as having a "TRON feel" was one of the reasons he wanted Mielgo on the project.) However, the character design evolved quite a bit.
Rob Valley's involvement early in the process was key, Bean says, because there was a desire to stand out from other animated action-adventure fare on TV. Instead of kid-friendly squashed down characters with large heads and eyes, Valley elongated and stylized the characters while still maintaining a more believable human look. As an homage to the original film, the team also decided to make all the flesh-tones black and white for these inhabitants of the eternally midnight, artificially lit world of The Grid.
To help create a modern look, the character designs were inspired by the street styles of the far-flung team's cities.
"We stole a lot of hairstyles from Shoreditch," Bean jokes, referencing the fashionable north London 'hood.
For Mielgo, designing this strange nighttime world was a very different task for a toon project.
"Because it's so dark, you just see the shapes of buildings with some light around—it's more of an impressionistic approach," he explains. "In animation it's hard to make it look realistic, and we had to think a lot about how artificial light behaves, not just in the backgrounds but on the characters and vehicles as well." The team paid special attention to the interaction of light on the buildings' glass and lacquered surfaces and integrating the characters into the world believably—luckily, as the duo share, the late night production schedules gave them plenty of chances to observe artificial light glinting off objects in the dark.
Mielgo notes that the greatest challenge for him was marrying his designs into a coherent world that could support the epic season-wide story with believability and appeal.
As with the general scope of the show, the design became more complex as development went on. The blend of CG and 2D animation is handled by Japan's Polygon Pictures, using Maya and Nuke for compositing, a crucial element in the mixed-technique production.
"With the way compositing is going, you can have completely 2D elements and very traditional techniques—matte painting, multi-plane—and completely realized CG environments. And we use everything, whatever's right for the scene." Bean estimates each episode takes roughly eight months to complete.
"Charlie, Rob and I all come from 2D, and we love 2D," Mielgo adds. "We come from a very graphic world and try to bring our 2D ideas and aesthetic … It's been nice, we were actually putting things in the heads of the 3D guys [at Polygon] and we've been kind of evolving from 2D to 3D thinking, and they are also changing their thinking, so we're right in the middle." He notes that they were even able to show the CG team a few cheats and tricks from the traditional animation handbook.
Bean recalls with a wry laugh that when presenting the initial animation test, he had told the impressed viewers that they would be simplifying the designs and animation for the actual series.
The director adds that new obstacles are continue to present themselves on this ambitious show.

Obama, World Leaders Honor Veterans
Hawaii Reporter
U.S. President Barack Obama has marked the first Veterans Day of his presidency with the traditional wreath-laying ceremony and speech at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington.
The tradition honors Americans who have lost their lives in battle, and also the men and women who currently serve in the U.S. military.
At the ceremony Wednesday, the president said there is no tribute or praise that can match the sacrifice made by the men and women of the U.S. armed forces.
The observance is one of many in the United States and around the world to mark the 91st anniversary of the cease-fire agreement that ended the battles of World War I. That agreement officially was reached on "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month."
Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, began the day by hosting a Veterans Day breakfast at the White House.
This day is known in Europe and elsewhere as Armistice or Remembrance Day.
In London, Britain's Queen Elizabeth led an Armistice Day service at Westminster Abbey to pay tribute to the country's war dead, marked by a traditional two-minute block of silence.
The ceremony was the first without Britain's last remaining trio of World War I veterans living in the country. William Stone, Henry Allingham and Harry Patch all died during 2009. The last remaining British veteran of World War One is 108-year-old Claude Choules, who lives in Perth, Australia.
Frank Woodruff Buckles, a resident of the U.S. state of West Virginia, is the last remaining American veteran of World War I. The 108-year-old served in the war as an ambulance driver in France.
One Canadian veteran from World War I is still alive – John Babcock, who was born in Ontario and now lives in the United States.
In Paris, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel participated in a ceremony at France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during an early morning service. Ms. Merkel is the first German leader to observe Armistice Day in France.
The allied powers, which included France, Britain, Russia and the United States, defeated Germany and its smaller allies in the so-called "war to end all wars" that shattered Europe.
The holiday was known as Armistice Day in the United States until 1954, when then-President Dwight Eisenhower signed a measure changing it to Veterans Day. It was changed at the urging of veterans' service organizations, which wanted the day to pay tribute to U.S. veterans of all wars.
The holiday comes as the United States continues fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. President Obama is reviewing the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, and is considering a request from the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan for what is reported to be up to 40,000 additional troops.

Appeal To Support
Under Maternal Child Health Program, we have a vision of a state where all women, wherever they live, can
give birth safely and without fear. We need your help to make that vision a reality.
On average it costs just USD 1520 to save a mother's life during childbirth, whatever you can afford will
help to make a huge difference.
According to the statistic, Globally 529,000 women die annually due to pregnancy related problems and in Pakistan alone this toll is about 35,000 deaths per annum. The state of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has manifold health issues including lack of infrastructure, modern health equipment and qualified and trained medical human resource. The status of maternal and child health is very poor in the remote and mountainous areas of AJK. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of AJK ranges from 201 /100,000 live births. This situation is even more critical in the rural remote areas of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK).
To overcome the issue related to mother and child health, Sustainable Development Organization has been established the 24 maternity and child health center to all vulnerable and remote communities of AJK under its Maternal Child Health Program. Under this valuable program more than 4965 mothers obtain direct and 39720 people obtain indirect benefit.
Mother and Child Care center - UC Lamnian
The far flung and deprived union council Lamnian of district Muzaffarabad has bee provided with the establishment of Mother and Child Care center through the family of departed soul Ms. Mariam Touseef. She was 32 years young lady scummbed due to corona and passed away in 2020. The center has been established in memory of Mariam Touseef by the family living in United Kingdom. The center will be equipped with services of trained lady health worker offering services 24/7. The center will accommodate big number of women living in the area and it will minimize the death ratio of women during the delivery cases. The center will not only provide delivery services to women but also taking care of new born babies. Mr. Arshad CEO Sustainable development organization while talking to media said that annually thousands of women die while giving birth to children and it is painful that it happens because of unavailability of health facilities. However, with the establishment of Mariam Touseef Mother and Child Care Center the women of district Jehlum valley especially the women UC Lamnian will have delivery services during child birth. This is indeed a fancy that majority of AJK population lives in remote and mountainous areas having no or little access. To facilitate such people SDO requests the community living abroad to come forward and help us to built hundreds of mother and child care center through out AJK.
This is an opportunity to create a long-lasting change in the lives of 40% poor and vulnerable people of AJK. When we give Sadaqah Jariyah, it is as if our Sadaqah never ends – each time someone drinks clean water from the well you build, you and your family will be rewarded by Allah Almighty. With your support, we can continue to transform the lives of families, widows and orphans across the AJK
AJK with a hilly terrain is engaged with broad service delivery challenges for water and sanitation. As a result thousands of women and children spend several hours a day collecting water from distant, often contaminated sources. Especially women in poor communities have to walk miles to fetch water from rivers and wells which put their security at risk and expose them to vulnerabilities. In AJK 40% population is still deprived from drinking water facility at their door step. Understanding local behavioral and cultural practices relating water, sanitation and hygiene by gender, SDO has been working to help ensure more people in AJK have access to clean and safe water by constructing gravity water supply scheme and providing hand pumps in rural areas.
Moreover, SDO support in improving sanitation and raising awareness on hygiene practices has changed behaviors of communities for healthy lifestyles and value added benefits for persons with disabilities.
Keeping the view of water scarcity and aiming to provide pure healthy water to the local community of AJK, SDO has completed 45 Deep wells and two drinking water supply scheme by facilitating of 2,233 household and 17,865 population.
Clean water project 2021 AZAD KASHMIR PAKISTAN.
Alhumdulillah we have completed 50 Deep Wells pumps in rural part of Mirpur Division AZAD KASHMIR. We would like to thanks all the donors and volunteers who took part in this project.
Sustainable Development Organization through its generous donors, recently installed 50 Deep Wells in Mirpur Division AZAD KASHMIR.
These are the few pictures of the Happy faces who are smiling because you people have donated the Water Hand Pumps for them.

898. Verse 12. Having a wall great and high, signifies the Word in the sense of the letter from which is the doctrine of the New Church. When the Lord's New Church as to doctrine is meant by "the holy city Jerusalem," nothing else is meant by its "wall" but the Word in the sense of the letter, from which the doctrine is; for that sense protects the spiritual sense, which lies hidden within, as the wall does a city and its inhabitants. That the sense of the letter is the basis, the containant, and the support of its spiritual sense, may be seen in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem concerning the Sacred Scripture (n. 27-36) And that this sense is the guard, lest the interior Divine truths, which are those of the spiritual sense, should be injured (n. 97). Also that the doctrine of the church is to be drawn from the sense of the letter of the Word, and to be confirmed by it (n. 50-61). It is called "a wall great and high," because the Word is meant as to the Divine good and the Divine truth; for "great" is predicated of good, and "high" of truth, as above (n. 896).
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall not be silent day and night, that make mention of Jehovah (Isa. 62:6).
They shall call thee the city of Jehovah, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel; and thou shalt call thy walls salvation, and thy gates praise (Isa. 60:14, 18).
Jehovah will be a wall of fire round about, and a glory in the midst of her (Zech. 2:5).
The sons of Arvad were upon thy walls, and the Gammadians hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect (Ezek. 27:11).
This is concerning Tyre, by which is signified the church as to knowledges of truth from the Word.
Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see if there is any that seeketh truth; go up on her walls, and cast down (Jer. 5:1, 10).
Jehovah hath thought to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion, He made the rampart and the wall to mourn, they languish together, the law and the prophets are no more (Lam. 2:8, 9).
They shall run to and fro in the city, they shall run on the wall, they shall go up into the houses, they shall enter in through the windows (Joel 2:9).
Day and night the wicked go about in the city, upon its walls, destructions are in the midst of them (Ps. 55:10).
Besides other places, as Isa. 22:5; 56:5; Jer. 1:15; Ezek. 27:11; Lam. 2:7. That the Word in the sense of the letter is signified by "a wall," is clearly manifest from what follows in this chapter, where the wall, its gates, foundations, and measures are much treated of. The reason is, because the doctrine of the New Church, which is signified by "the city," is solely from the sense of the letter of the Word.

Q: How would I go about Creating a ShoppingCart inside of an Ecommerce Website (using Eclipse and MongoDB) Lately, I have been working on an ecommerce website. So far, I have a basic POJO called "Product" which is supposed to represent each individual product for sale. I also have a ProductController, which performs the basic CRUD operations.
I have been wanting to create a ShoppingCart, and for each Product, there needs to be an option to add the Product to the ShoppingCart (the option is shown when you open a specific page of a product). The user should also be able to open the ShoppingCart and see the products inside.
I am having trouble though because I am not sure how to go about creating this. Am I supposed to create a separate ShoppingCart POJO that contains an arraylist of Products? Or am I supposed to keep the arraylist of products inside of the Product POJO? Or do I need to do something else entirely?
Here is my code so far, which does not work because Eclipse is saying that "the dependencies of some of the beans in the application context form a cycle":

At first, I tried creating an arraylist called ShoppingCart inside of my Product POJO, and then putting that arraylist inside of a model so that it can be displayed in the shoppingcart.html page, but that did not work. Then, I tried creating a separate ShoppingCart POJO, but so far, that has not worked for me.


Lou Reads from the RUadventures forum. Russian and Ukrainian Brides Available Half Off!
Thank you for bring me your country. Now, how you say, I marry good Russian boy.
Man, its times like these when I am glad I married me an American lady. Sure, I know they are hard to deal with. What with their nagging and their "Why do you spend all your time doing that podcast for no money?" and their "stop cursing in front of my mom" and their "I can't breathe when you stand on my windpipe." Its not all wine and roses. But at least its not what these guys have going on. These guys want anything but an American girl. I'd say they want someone who they imagine isn't corrupted by the temptations of the West. Little do they realize that they aren't corrupted because they aren't here yet! I mean if they think meeting American hot babes is hard at least they aren't traveling around the globe to a meet a chick who barely speaks English. THAT sounds hard. But whatever. Just listen to the podcast already, tovarich. Dasvidaniya!
Now you too can waste all your time pursuing fruitless long distance relationships!


On this Friday, as every week, approximately one hundred men, women and children gather together in the church of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, in a poor area of Montreal. But they are not here for religious reasons; they come together in the chapel's cellar to watch wrestling matches in an atmosphere that is both electric and almost surreal. One member of the crowd who follows the magic and noise of the spectacle with enormous yet naive passion is twelve-year-old Jessy.
Jessy dreams of becoming a wrestler. Already, life is a daily fight; home is chaotic and his innocence is quickly disappearing. In a community where crime is a constant, Jessy must navigate between childhood and hardened experience. "Le Ring" tells the story of a little fighter determined to make his own way.

Bullish future for thermal coal
June 5, 2015 NewsStaff Writer	Ben Hagemann
Investors can expect a bullish long-term future for thermal coal, despite the current environment of depressed prices.
Glencore Coal CEO Peter Freyberg expressed confidence in the future of thermal coal yesterday in his address to the Melbourne Mining Club.
The Australian coal boss said Glencore was optimistic about the commodity despite current challenges due to pricing and environmental concerns, as the global market was still rebalancing.
Freyberg spoke about Glencore's attitude towards avoiding market surplus in order to maintain viable production.
"After a period of much new production increases right across the industry in the boom times, Glencore was the first to say: It's time to stop building," he said.
"Unfortunately our Wandoan coal project in Queensland is a case in point.
"This was a $7 billion investment in mine, rail and port infrastructure in Queensland to bring on an additional 22 million tonnes a year in Stage 1 of the project.
"By September 2013, prices had fallen significantly and it was clear to us that adding further tonnes into the market at that time would destroy value across our whole portfolio
"Placing Wandoan on hold was the right thing to do by our shareholders and the rest of the Australian thermal export market."
Freyberg said that Glencore backtracked plans to increase exports with the recent announcement to reduce 2015 coal exports by 15 million tonnes.
"Our installed capacity – after our Clermont acquisition last year – was programmed to run close to 110 million tonnes, but the market doesn't need all this coal," he said.
"We think an appropriate level of exports this year is closer to 90 million tonnes than to 100 million tonnes."
Freyberg said the prospect of weaker coal demand in China in the long-term would be outweighed by new power stations to be built in Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, India and Japan.
On the topic of environmental concerns, Freyberg was candid about Glencore's view of the importance of carbon capture and storage technology.
"If all the newly installed coal-fired power capacity added between 2000-2010 (about 550GW) had been deployed using state of the art, ultra-supercritical technology, we would have achieved 2 billion tonnes of carbon emission reductions," he said.
"This is equivalent to running the European Emissions Trading Scheme for 53 years at its current rate, or running the Kyoto protocol three times over."
He was also critical of populist policy which led to significant investment in renewable energy technology, and called for global policy that would recognise the ongoing importance of fossil fuels, and address the funding gap to enable building of high efficiency, low emission power stations.
"The fact is that $2 trillion was invested in renewables and only 1 per cent of that was invested in carbon capture and storage," he said.
"Had more available funding been directed to CCS and cleaning up fossil fuels we'd be much further ahead today with the emissions reduction task."

Active - 1930s - 1990s | Born - May 1, 1916 in Quebec, Canada | Died - Aug 30, 2006 in Beverly Hills, CA | Genres - Drama, Western, Action, Crime, Comedy | Height: 5' 11"
The son of a Canadian railroad executive, Glenn Ford first toddled on-stage at age four in a community production of Tom Thumb's Wedding. In 1924, Ford's family moved to California, where he was active in high-school theatricals. He landed his first professional theater job as a stage manager in 1934, and, within a year, he was acting in the West Coast company of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour. Although he made his film debut in 20th Century Fox's Heaven With a Barbed Wire Fence (1939), Ford was signed by Columbia, which remained his home base for the next 14 years. After an apprenticeship in such B-movies as Blondie Plays Cupid (1940), Ford was promoted to Columbia's A-list.
Ford made his official debut in Fox's Heaven with a Barbed Wire Fence (1939), and continued working in various small roles throughout the 1940s until his movie career was interrupted to join the Marines in World War II. Ford continued his military career in the Naval Reserve well into the Vietnam War, achieving the rank of captain. In 1943 Ford married legendary tap dancer Eleanor Powell, and had one son, Peter Ford. Like many actors returning to Hollywood after the war (including James Stewart and Holden (who had already acquired a serious alcohol problem), he found it initially difficult to regain his career momentum. He was able to resume his movie career with the help of Bette Davis, who gave him his first postwar break in the 1946 movie A Stolen Life (1946).
However, it was not until his acclaimed performance in a 1946 classic film noir, Gilda (1946), with Rita Hayworth, that he became a major star and one of the the most popular actors of his time. He scored big with the film noir classics The Big Heat (1953) and Blackboard Jungle (1955), and was usually been cast as a calm and collected everyday-hero, showing courage under pressure. Ford continued to make many notable films during his prestigious 50-year movie career, but he is best known for his fine westerns such as 3:10 to Yuma (1957) and The Rounders (1965). Ford pulled a hugely entertaining turn in The Sheepman (1958) and many more fine films. In the 1970s, Ford made his television debut in the controversial The Brotherhood of the Bell (1970) and appeared in two fondly remembered television series: Cade's County (1971) and The Family Holvak (1975). During the 1980s and 1990s, Ford limited his appearance to documentaries and occasional films, including a nice cameo in Superman (1978).

Often during his career Ford insisted on being shot looking to camera left - he had been kicked in the right side of his jaw by a horse and insisted the left side of his face was his only filmable side.
He is credited with being one of the fastest "guns" in Hollywood westerns, able to draw and fire in 0.4 seconds, he was faster than James Arness (Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke (1955)) and John Wayne. However, Peter Breck of "The Big Valley" has been credited by Wild Western Magazine as being able to draw and fire in .16 seconds.
Glenn appeared in 5 movies with classic leading actress, Rita Hayworth: Affair in Trinidad (1952), The Lady in Question (1940), The Loves of Carmen (1948), The Money Trap (1965) and Gilda (1946).
Ford had intended to portray Hondo Lane in Hondo (1953), but backed out when John Farrow was chosen to direct. Ford and Farrow did not got along while making Plunder of the Sun (1953), causing Ford to lose interest in the role. The role was subsequently portrayed by John Wayne.
Romantically linked over the years with Joan Crawford, Brigitte Bardot, Linda Christian, Hope Lange, Debbie Reynolds, Dinah Shore, Laraine Day, and Rita Hayworth.
He was a close friend of William Holden.
"Some actors count their lines as soon as they receive a script. I'm the opposite. I try to see how many lines I can whittle down...You can say just as much in 4 as you can in 14."
