Actual size of book - H 11" x W 9"
The Charlton Press is pleased to announce that the first edition of Canadian Merchant Scrip. This book fills a need that has long been felt in the paper money collecting community. The last priced listing of merchant scrip was a 47-page section at the back of The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Paper Money, published in 1980. Needless to say, the prices found there have been hopelessly out of date for a very long time. Not only are the values finally being brought up to date, but the information provided will be much more comprehensive, taking the book far beyond being a mere price list.
The format of the book will be familiar to users of Charlton s Canadian Bank Notes. A historical introduction is given for each issuer, wherever possible, and note descriptions follow, including designs, colours, dimensions, dates, imprints and signatures. Each note and variety is identified by a catalogue number, and the numbering system is again derived from that used in Canadian Bank Notes. Representative illustrations are included. Finally, notes are priced in up to six grades based on data provided by a number of leading collectors and dealers.
Listings are organized by province of origin, and are presented in alphabetical sequence for each province. Not surprisingly, just over half of the book is devoted to issues from Quebec, which has had such a long and rich history of merchants bons. Several pages at the back of the book are devoted to maverick notes, which lack either the issuer s name or location. It is hoped that with continued research, and a measure of good luck, these can be identified for future editions.
It was essential at the outset to define what paper would be listed and what would not, and it was decided to follow the intent of the 1980 catalogue and restrict listings to notes intended to fulfill a currency role. Thus bons which were good for specific goods or services, but not cash, were not included. Commission scrip, discount coupons, ordinary promissory notes and such like are also excluded.
New listings are included which are not found in the 1980 catalogue, and a couple of earlier listings which clearly lay outside the parameters of the book have been deleted. Some errors of very long standing have been corrected, such as the dating of the J. D. Harris note of Kentville, N.S., and the true identity revealed of W. Gittinear of Prescott, Ont. whose name has been wrongly rendered since Breton s 1894 catalogue.
The introduction to the book includes information on the coins which were used to illustrate scrip in the 1837 1839 period, and their values in the local money of account. An extensive historical section provides the context for the various usages of merchant scrip as it developed from an emergency issue to substitute for coin when it was unavailable, to store pay issued as wages and spent at the company store. Some thoughts are offered on factors which had an impact on the survival of notes to the present day. A few issues remain accessible to collectors while most have all but disappeared, many issues being represented by a single known example in an institutional collection. Biographical information is provided for a few of the principal printers of merchant scrip, such as Louis Perrault. Information on grading concludes the introduction. An index at the back should make it quite easy to find the listing for any particular issue.
Don't wait till this important book is out of print to decide to add it to your numismatic library.


Don Warren of Prince Edward County and his prized E-Type. "The most beautiful car ever made," Enzo Ferrari said about the design in a 1964 number of Classic Car Review.
Can't tell now but Don's E Type "had sat for 19 years and was sadly in need of a full restoration," which he adds was "what I was looking for."
Since about 70,000 were built E Types are actually attainable, a mass-produced car that UK's Telegraph ranked as No. 1 on its 2009 list of most beautiful cars ever made. "Received almost four times as many votes as any other car."
Don's Jaguar taking it easy on the road in Arizona, on the way to its new home in Canada.
Don, did you have one of these? The Matchbox miniature, No. 32 in the series, was just 47 cents at toy and department stories.
The story: I have always had a passion for British sports cars, starting with my first car, a 1965 MGB which I purchased in 1971 for $500.
In 2006, I realized my dream of owning a Jaguar E Type. A good friend brought to my attention an ad on the Internet for a 1964 Jaguar E Type FHC (for Fixed Head Coupé, as opposed to a convertible). It was located in Los Angeles. After a few emails and pictures back and forth, I forwarded a bank draft for $17,000 and it was mine.
With a friend's landscaping trailer I headed off to California to pick it up. It had sat for 19 years and was sadly in need of a full restoration. Perfect for what I was looking for!
I started the research to determine what needed to be done to return it back to factory original specs. Over the span of 45 years, things change! I had all the fasteners re-plated, rebuilt the engine, installed a new interior, and refurbished all the mechanical and electrical systems.
A good friend of mine, Wayne Barratt, performed his magic on the body work and paint.
The car is now completely back to original specifications and drives great.
My enjoyment has been achieved by bringing a styling icon back to life with lots of hands on involvement. In the summer months, I average about 3,000 miles (just under 5,000 kilometres) cruising around Prince Edward County where I live.

Provisional estimates for 2016 show that between 200 and 280 people were killed in accidents in Great Britain where at least one driver was over the drink-drive limit, with a central estimate of 240 deaths. This is 13% of all deaths in reported road accidents.
An estimated 9,050 people were killed or injured when at least one driver was over the drink-drive limit. This is 5% of all reported road casualties and is the highest number since 2012.
1. Provisional central estimates. Final 2016 estimates, based on more complete data, will be published in August 2018.

Q: What orbit does a planet have to have to be a planet? Other questions have dealt with where you could find a planet-like object, and what a planet has to consist of to count as a planet. But this question is directed as what orbit or path an object would have to have to count as a planet.
This question was spawned from comments in Does a star need to be inside a galaxy?
We used to think of planets as objects orbiting the sun IAU 2006 Resolution 5A

A "planet" is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun [...].

but, depending on how you read

The IAU therefore resolves that planets and other bodies in our Solar System, except satellites, be defined into three distinct categories in the following way

you might think that their definition only applies to our solar system and that they have left open the definition in relation to other parts of the universe.
They were working on what constituted a planet elsewhere IAU Defintion of a "Planet" but they seem to be looking only at the mass and other internal properties of a body, not its orbit (or lack thereof).
Wikipedia quotes these two sources to define a planet as

astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant [...]

That is to say it has extrapolated beyond what its references say to include other single stars. This may be justifiable because

The extrasolar planet issue was deemed too complex to resolve at the 2006 IAU conference (Wikipedia)

but whether it should be restricted to single stars is the question.
It defines a circumbinary planet as

a planet that orbits two stars instead of one

thus contradicting its own monostellar definition of a planet.
On the other hand, it defines a rogue planet by carefully avoiding the use of the term planet

planetary-mass object that orbits a galactic center directly.

So my question is
Are - or should - objects that are in orbit round

*

*binary (or ternary, etc.) stars,

*galaxy centres, or

*nothing

be counted as planets?

Instructors Wanted for Fall GT1000 Sections
Atlanta, GA | Posted: March 18, 2013
Nirmal Trivedi
Center for Academic Enrichment
Sandi Bramblett volunteers to teach GT1000 because it provides her with an opportunity to interact with students — something she generally doesn't get to do as executive director of Institutional Research and Planning and Decision Support Services.
"Teaching GT1000 serves as a reminder that Tech exists to educate the next genera- tion," said Bramblett, who has been teaching the course since 2002 when it was known as "PSYC 1000." "I routinely hear from former students, and it's always gratifying to know that they're doing well, and we had a positive impact on their experience at Tech."
If you're interested in teaching a section of GT1000 Freshman Seminar in Fall 2013, now is your chance to become involved. The Center for Academic Enrichment is currently seeking faculty and staff members to teach.
The one-credit seminar helps new freshmen adjust to college life, learn about their majors and related careers, and introduces them to campus resources. Each section has between 20 to 25 students, and instructors are assisted by upper-class students known as "Team Leaders," added Steven Girardot, assistant vice provost for undergraduate education.
"We welcome people from any department at Georgia Tech, provided they have a minimum of a master's degree in any field, have been employed at Tech for a year as of this summer, and have the support of their department," he said. "If a staff member has a bachelor's degree, he or she may serve as a co-instructor in a section, provided we can find a primary instructor who has a master's degree."
The Center for Academic Enrichment provides the course curriculum, resources, and training, and the time commitment is usually a minimum of two to three hours per week — an hour of class and one to two hours of administrative work.
During the summer, the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning and the Center for Academic Enrichment host a training program for all new and returning instructors.
"The first time you teach is the hardest, because you don't know what to expect," Bramblett said. "But if you are interested in the students as people, the rest flows pretty well."
The deadline to apply is April 19, but applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis. For more information, email Nirmal Trivedi, director of academic transition programs in the Center for Academic Enrichment.

The Best Inspirational Story About Life

Best Women Inspirational Short Story
Reading success stories of greatest professionals stimulates motivational enzyme within us and we all wish to emulate them on path of success.
Exactly with this aim MBARendezvous.com - India's content lead MBA website is presenting you series of success stories of Professionals who have carved niche in their own way and have become icons of Management Fraternity.
Following above you will read today success story of Mr. Nusli Wadia :
Hailed as one of the savviest businessmen in the corporate arena, Mr. Nusli Wadia is the chairman and majority owner of Bombay Dyeing, a prominent Indian textile company. The Indian Parsi entrepreneur is the son of Neville and Dina Wadia, and the grandson of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan. With vast holdings in the real estate across Mumbai, the Wadia Group stands at a whopping Rs. 6,157 crore and has one of the largest land banks in the city of Mumbai.
Read More : CK Ranganathan, Usha Uthup
Mr. Wadia has been famously known for his close proximity to Lal Krishna Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, when the BJP was in power. The Economic Times once described Wadia as "the epitome of South Bombay's old money and genteel respectability."
Though related to Jinnah, Wadia had a convoluted background. He was born as a Christian but later converted to Zoroastrian to settle in the industrially wealthy Parsi community of Mumbai. For his schooling Nusli was sent to a public school in England (Rugby) where, from all accounts, he was a bit of a failure though he holds a Ph.D in Chemical Engineering from University of Florida, U.S.A.
He came back to India, interrupting his studies, and was put to work on the shop floor. In a short span of time, he proved to be an astute and imaginative businessman and his major contribution to Bombay Dyeing was the introduction of the retail shops and the development of the brand.
Read More : Sunita Narain, Mr. Sunil Bharti Mittal
Mr. Wadia has been the Chairman and Director of the Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing Company Limited since 1977 and 1968 respectively. He has been Chairman of the board of Bombay Burmah Trading Corp. Ltd. since July 27, 1982 and a Director since October 28, 1980.
He was appointed on the Prime Minister's Council on Trade & Industry in 1998, 1999 & 2000. He was the Convener of the Special Group Task Force on Food and Agro Industries Management Policy in September, 1998. He was a Member of the Special Subject Group to review regulations and procedures to unshackle Indian Industry and on the Special Subject Group on Disinvestment.
All throughout his life, Mr Wadia carried the badge of being a feisty fighter as nothing came to him easily. The biggest battle that Nusli fought was with his own father, Neville Wadia. In 1971, the senior Wadia announced his decision to sell Bombay Dyeing to Kolkata-based industrialist R P Goenka and settle abroad.
Read More : Anand Kumar, Stephen William Hawking
But the 26-year-old Nusli ignored his father's advice that they could live like lords in Switzerland with the money. With the help from his mother Dina and mentor such as J R D Tata, whom he considered as an alternate father figure, Nusli began by garnering 11 per cent of the company shares and went on to persuade the employees to pool their savings and buy shares to prevent the sale. The ploy worked and Neville was forced to abandon the sale. The Goenkas were told that the deal was off. Few years later Nusli succeeded his father to become the chairman of the flagging enterprise.
The Wadias are one of India's most distinguished business families. But like the other great Parsi houses (among them, the Tatas and the Godrejs), they have always prided themselves on doing business honestly, on never paying bribes, and on never dealing in black money.
By the late 1970s, Bombay Dyeing was still the biggest and best textile company in India. But it was no longer the one that everyone talked about. The tug of war between Wadia and Ambani became a part of corporate folklore and was famously known as the 'Polyester War'.
Read More : Dr Preetha Reddy, Navjot Singh Sidhu
It was a battle that involved not just the two of them but also many politicians, including then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and his Finance Minister V P Singh, and two media groups- the Indian Express and Observer. Wadia was tied up in the courts for two years. His passport was confiscated and was issued with a deportation order. After 42 court hearings and 2,500 pages of interrogation, Wadia won.
The 1990s were a crucial decade for Mr. Wadia. He was no longer a major preoccupation for the Ambanis: they were now so big that they had simply outgrown him. Wadia had to prove that he knew how to run a business. Rebuilding the textile business proved tricky but an investment in Bombay Burmah yielded a gold mine in terms of hidden assets. And then, there was the cookie affair, Britannia.
Nusli had always dreamt of entering the biscuit business and had negotiated with the ailing Huntley and Palmer biscuits to take over Britannia in India. But Huntley and Palmer itself was taken over by American cookie giant Nabisco and though Nusli met the Nabisco brass through his friend (and partner in a cashew company), Rajan Pillai, and seemed to have struck up a deal whereby he would still get to buy Britannia, the Americans later changed their minds. They kept Britannia and installed Rajan Pillai as the chairman.
Read More : Mr. Anand Mahindra, Naresh Goyal
Pillai took the French group Danone as his partners but the two soon fell out with Danone accusing Pillai of cheating.
Sensing the vacuum Nusli entered the scene, this time as Danone's new Indian partner. After a bruising legal and media battle, Pillai was ousted and Wadia finally got his heart's desire: the control of Britannia. Mr. Wadia became the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Britannia Industries Limited. He served on the board of Britannia Industries Limited on 5th September 1993 and has been the Chairman of the Company since 8th September 1993. It is a company that has grown rapidly and today, with a market capitalization of around Rs 2,000 crore and a profitability of Rs 175 crore, it is doing better than Bombay Dyeing.
Apart from this the textile magnate has made a name for himself in public affairs and has been actively associated with leading charitable institutions. He is also on the Managing Committee of the Nehru Centre, Mumbai. A self-styled gladiator Wadia, who has been in the corporate arena for nearly three decades, is much respected for his financial acumen and legal expertise.
Read More : Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey
A quintessential workaholic Mr. Wadia believes in living a relatively simple lifestyle. He is said to do much of his own cooking and though he spends a great deal of time in London, he loves holidaying in Goa. His greatest passion is cricket and he rarely makes a statement-literally or metaphorically.
Married to Maureen Wadia, a former airhostess, who heads Gladrags Magazine they have two sons: Ness and Jehangir. The Wadia Group patriarch has reorganized his business empire among his two sons. While Ness Wadia is the managing director of Bombay Dyeing and co-owner of Kings XI Punjab team in the IPL, Jeh heads the Go Air and has managed to survive despite cut-throat competition in the domestic aviation space. In 2011 due to a reshuffle, Jeh took over as the Managing Director of Bombay Dyeing while Ness shifted to GoAir.

Glass Diameter: 80mm 3 1/4"
The NEAT Glass will bring your old favourite whiskies back to life again by revealing more aromas than your traditional whisky tumbler. Designed and produced by glass-making artisans, this unique glass creates the ultimate whisky experience. Through its beautiful, unusual and unique shape, the glass eliminates alcohol burn, one of the biggest factors blocking the whisky nosing and tasting experience and allows you to relish the full flavour, scent and pleasure of your whisky.
Fill the NEAT Whisky Glass to the widest point of the glass.
Hold the glass level, at the neck to prevent overwarming, base to warm.
Do not insert nose below the neck portion where alcohol is concentrated.
Keep glass level, swirl and nose over the 'sweet spot' in the centre just above the rim.
Taste. (The flared rim will flow your whisky across your entire palate).
Have fun with it! Experiment with nose position and with different whiskies.
The single NEAT Ultimate Whisky Glass is supplied in a printed gift carton.
A worthy alternative to the Glencairn glass?
As a Glencairn glass owner, I was interested to see if the NEAT glass would equal or better a tulip-style glass for appreciating whisky. Some observations: - The NEAT glass is quite chunky, it fits in the hand quite well and may appeal to those who like a tumbler style than the slightly more delicate tulip glasses - It gives a good presentation of the 'nose' of the whisky, although the 'sweet spot' indicated on the carton doesn't seem to give a better or worse impression than the rim of the glass. For nosing a whisky, I still think I prefer the Glencairn glasses as they provide a more concentrated aroma - Despite worrying about spillage for tasting with the wide glass brim, this actually works quite well. Does seem to add something different to the taste, due to a wider spread across the palate or different surface area perhaps. Trying two identical whiskies in the NEAT and Glencairn glasses (all in the name of science, you understand) seemed to give different tasting experiences All in all, it's a nice glass and won't disappoint a whisky fan if you buy one and try it out.
I ordered 8 glasses.The boxes for two arrived damaged and upon contacting Wineware, they sent out two replacement boxes. The packaging for the two new boxes was far more excessive than the box the glasses arrived in!
I'm in love with those glasses, the best for drinking high proof whiskeys. Was tired of the Glencairn glass, i'm glad i found those "Neat" glasses. They are/feel solid, some quality glasses, and they look nice too.
I bought this for my 83 year old step-dad, who loves his whisky and I needed to get him something different for his birthday. He was thrilled with the glass and has used it already, enjoying the novelty of trying a new way of tasting whisky.

Homework assignment to list 'positive' stories about residential schools under investigation
A B.C. school district is investigating after students were asked to find positive stories about Canada's residential school system for Indigenous children.
'I was just appalled by it,' mom says

A recent homework assignment for Grade 6 students at William A. Fraser Middle School in Abbotsford, B.C., asked them to name 'positive stories/facts' about the residential school system. (Ben Nelms/CBC)
A B.C. mother says she is furious after her daughter and other Grade 6 students were given homework asking them to highlight "positive" stories and facts about Canada's residential school system for Indigenous children.
The Abbotsford School District said it is investigating after being made aware of the assignment Wednesday.
Krista Macinnis, 31, said her 11-year-old daughter was given the assignment in a class at William A. Fraser Middle School.
It directs students to: "Write at least 5+ positive stories/facts from the residential schools from three different websites."
Macinnis and her children are First Nations. Her ancestry comes from the Cree and Blackfoot nations.
She expressed her disgust in a TikTok video, decrying the "whitewashing [of] the rape of our culture, the theft of our people and the genocide of just everything in general when it comes to First Nations people."
WATCH | Macinnis explains why she found the assignment so offensive:
Mother calls out B.C. school for assignment asking students to find 'positive stories' about residential schools
2 months agoVideo
The mother of a child at W.A. Fraser Middle School in Abbotsford, B.C. shows the handout with the directions, "Write at least five positive stories/facts from the residential schools from three different websites." 0:36
Indigenous children were removed from their homes and placed in residential schools from the 1800s well into the 20th century. The last residential school closed in the 1990s. At the schools, which were often far from their homes, children weren't allowed to speak their own language and were often physically, emotionally or sexually abused.
The system has been blamed for damaging Indigenous traditions and family ties.
It is estimated 150,000 youth went through residential schools and that several thousand died in the system.
Macinnis said she first saw the assignment when she was making dinner for her family. Her daughter came to her for help with it.
"I was just appalled by it," she told CBC News. "When I saw it in writing with my own eyes I began to shake uncontrollably. I began to cry. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was in complete shock."
Macinnis said she had not yet explained the history and consequences of residential schools to her children.
She says she believes kids should learn about the negative impacts of the schools and sees nothing positive about them.

'Not acceptable,' district says
Abbotsford School District superintendent Kevin Godden said the school's principal has apologized to parents for the assignment.
"We are deeply sorry for any harm caused to the parents, students, families and the Indigenous community at large," Godden said in a statement.
"Assignments like this are not acceptable. This incident is a disservice to the district's commitment to truth and reconciliation."
The district said the assignment is not a reflection of its teaching workforce.
It added: "As this is a personnel matter, no further information is available at this time."
B.C. Education Minister Rob Fleming said the province had contacted the district about the assignment.
"Any teachings that detract or dismiss the realities of residential schools have no place in our education system," Fleming said in his statement.
"It is critically important for students to learn that this past legacy of abuse has created and continue to present a devastating legacy of the multi-generational impacts of residential schools."

Macinnis commended the school for reaching out to her but said she wants more than an apology. She wants to see accountability and to make sure students aren't given assignments like this again.
"I want to know how this slipped through the cracks and was even able to get into the classroom," Macinnis said.
"There needs to be actions behind these words or else nothing is going to change."

Marion King takes over chair at Open Banking Implementation Entity
The former president of Mastercard UK and ireland, Marion King, has been appointed to suceed Charlotte Crosswell as chair and trustee of the Open Banking Implementation Entity.
King will step into the post at the beginning of February when Crosswell departs to take over the chair at the Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology (CFIT), an organisation created on the advice of the Kalifa Review to unblock barriers to growth for UK fintech.
Before joining the OBIE, king was director of payments at NatWest Group and president of MasterCard UK and Ireland. Prior to that she was the chief executive officer of VocaLink.
Her key priorities will include the protection of ongoing CMA Order requirements and the consideration and potential implementation of the Joint Regulatory Oversight Committee's decisions on the future long-term regulatory framework for Open Banking in the UK.
The Joint Regulatory Oversight Committee (JROC), a cross-authority taskforce convened by the Competition and Markets Authority in March, was established to build on the progress of open banking under a new regulatory regime that will sunset the the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) in favour of a new body, with a more broadly-based funding and governance mode.
Says King: "Open banking is a UK success story and exemplifies the very best of UK innovation and entrepreneurship, providing benefits to over 6.5 million consumers and small businesses.
"We cannot afford to be complacent and must work with and support the ecosystem, policymakers, and regulators to ensure the UK remains internationally competitive and innovative."

I have installed Eclipse Luna on all 3 of my machines at work (2 desktops on the internal networks / Windows 7) and the HP Mobile Workstation connected to the Internet via WIFI (Windows Vista). WildFly fails to boot on the two desktops... console output is attached.
I have tried going to the command prompt outside of Eclipse and attempting to boot WildFly directly. I get the same result.
Everything works on the HP. WildFly boots quickly and the sample Struts2 application deploys with no errors.
I've been unable to find anything very helpful using Bing searches.
Something is broken with your installation.
i would recommend taking fresh zip and unpacking / reinstalling it.


As far as I can tell, this is caused by the sqrtf function in primitives.cpp, line 85.
Ticket imported from: #1845876. Ticket imported from: bugs/3482.
Could you give the build I just uploaded a spin, please? Tried linking the PPC half of the binary with the mx lib, which apparently is what contains the sqrtf function on 10.2.
We should simply not use sqrtf! See sound/softsynth/mt32/tables.cpp for a workaround for similar problems with powf.
In this case, BTW, one could also use the hypot function ;).


Pewter tankards have been around for centuries, and tankards are certainly one of the most common items made with pewter. Tankards are cylindrical and are usually bigger at the bottom. Another way to describe it is as a hollow cone with the top cut off around half way up!
A tankard has only one handle, and sometimes comes with a hinged lid. Historically, the lid serves to prevent insects or debris from getting into the drink, especially outdoors. A thumb lever located above the handle allows the lid to be opened easily by the same hand holding the tankard.
The cute little tankard above is an English piece I found at a flea market. It has a set of three touchmarks at the bottom, but I'm afraid my camera does not have enough resolution to take a sharp picture of them so I can't put it up here.
Anyway, one of the marks is the triangle ABPC mark which refers to the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen. In the middle is the seahorse mark commonly seen on British pewter and this is the mark of The Worshipful Company of Pewterers, a guild formed many centuries ago to police the pewter industry in England. The seahorse signifies good quality.
There is another touchmark belonging to the manufacturer or trader, and on this one are the letters 'I&BW G'. I managed to find out that this mark belongs to I. Gibson & Son Ltd., a Sheffield-based company which had apparently gone out of business in 2002.
I have two pewter tankards like the one pictured above. This one is completely cylindrical, fitted with a wooden bottom and handle. The surface has a hammered finish. It's a little too tall for my liking, measuring at about 18cm.
I also found the cousin of this one, which did not have a hammered finish.
I definitely prefer it hammered!
Old tankards often come with a glass bottom. An interesting story has it that if a drinker saw a coin at the bottom of the mug, he could refuse the drink and therefore avoid being conscripted into the British army or Royal Navy. This was during the 18th and 19th centuries and anyone who took the King's shilling would be forced to serve as a soldier or a sailor.
I've seen a couple of these glass bottom pewter mugs before but didn't end up buying them because their conditions were too poor.
But eventually I did find one in a pretty decent condition. You can take a look at my antique Swatow pewter tankard with glass bottom.
A relative of the tankard is the beer stein (yes, it's German). This mug is usually bigger than a tankard and could be made from glass, porcelain, wood, silver, and of course, pewter. In Munich they are also called 'Keferloher', after the place from which the clay was once used to make the Oktoberfest mugs.

In the Cottonwood Ballroom at the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the New York neo-shaman Daniel Pinchbeck sipped Fiji water and prepared to discuss the end of the world. The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, and Pinchbeck has built a multiplatform enterprise on the notion that something drastic will happen on that date—maybe.
But 2012 is also the name of a big-budget disaster movie based on the Mayan scenarios depicted in Pinchbeck's books. To promote the film, Sony Pictures sponsored this junket, featuring the stars and director of the movie; three 2012ologists, including Pinchbeck; and a tour of Yellowstone National Park, which the film destroys.
But nobody in the Four Seasons seemed to believe that the end was near, least of all Pinchbeck, who was once described in the Times as "equal parts Jesuit and Jim Morrison" and is known for ingesting psychedelics in the Amazon. "I'm not a fundamentalist about the date," Pinchbeck said, and his fellow 2012ologists nodded in agreement. Yet all three continue to publish alarmist books with 2012 in the title.
"¡Eventos catastróficos!" shouted Maria Salas, a critic from Miami with bleached-blonde curls, as part of her report. "¡Erupciones volcánicas!" The curls, three inches in diameter and radiant with hairspray, trembled with the force of her words. "¡Es el fin del mundo como predice el calendario Maya!" The 2012ologists soberly shook their heads.
By the time the 2012ologists sat down with me, off-camera, they looked beaten down. "I think the real story is that 2012 is not about doomsday," John Major Jenkins said. At some point, each of the 2012ologists used the word counterproductive to describe the film's catastrophic vision.


Members of particular communities produce and reproduce cultural practices. This is an important consideration for those teacher educators who need to prepare appropriate learning experiences and programs for scientists, as they attempt to change careers to science teaching. We know little about the transition of career-changing scientists as they encounter different contexts and professional cultures, and how their changing identities might impact on their teaching practices. In this narrative inquiry of the stories told by and shared between career-changing scientists in a teacher-preparation program, we identify cover stories of science and teaching. More importantly, we show how uncovering these stories became opportunities for one of these scientists to learn about what sorts of stories of science she tells or should tell in science classrooms and how these stories might impact on her identities as a scientist–teacher in transition. We highlight self-identified contradictions and treat these as resources for further professional learning. Suggestions for improving the teacher-education experiences of scientist–teachers are made. In particular, teacher educators might consider the merits of creating opportunities for career-changing scientists to share their stories and for these stories to be retold for different audiences.

I have taken my time off for Spring Break and put good use to it! I've been working on units/packs like a madwoman. I finished a counting change one (someone already bought one yay!) and think I finished another coin counting one last night.
Students read the money amount and choose which letter has the correct word amount. I'm pleased that someone bought it already, but my whole store is on sale, so they got it for a steal!
I was getting very emotional shopping. I wanted to buy everything for her! It was fun picking things out, thinking "Oh I hope she would like this!" or "Her kids would love this!"
Some of the loot :) I got some classroom staple like pencils and paper clips. I also got flash cards and all the books in the back are reproducible books for phonics, telling time, writing, and literacy stuff. The Clifford cds up front are spelling and the other is counting, though I know she may not have a computer, she can still use them in the future. I also burnt a cd with all the stuff from my TN store, so she now has a ton of math and literacy unit/games!
Isn't it cute (this is zoomed in). She got the idea off of Pinterest somewhere. So I'll take scrapbook paper and ribbon and make the holder. I still might add more to the package, but I'm pretty happy with it so far!
I'm trying not to panic that today's the 1/2 way mark of Spring Break. Though next week there are conferences and rumor from other subs was that Monday and Friday next week cannot be taken off in conjunction with Spring Break or conferences. Really? I don't know. Maybe I'll have 2 weeks off lol.
I'm giving away my Counting Change pack to the first three comments that have e-mail with them.
OOOh me, pick me! I would love to have more money activities!
We are working on money right now!
BTW... Thank you for visiting my blog and showing support for a newbie. I appreciate it!
Last comment on this thread... promise. We count coins up to a dollar. I just noticed you are giving away counting change. If you would like to give this away to somebody else I think you should. I want it to go to a good home that will make great use of it.
Thank you for the packet! Spring break for me now... back to money when we get back.
Yes, I figured if you were coming here anyway, why not a little reward :) Enjoy your packet!

War crimes murder trial of Navy SEAL due to start in San Diego
FILE PHOTO: U.S. Navy SEAL Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, charged with war crimes in Iraq, is shown in this undated photo provided May 24, 2019. Courtesy Andrea Gallagher/Handout via REUTERS -
Handout .(Reuters)
SANDIEGO (Reuters) – Jury selection was set to begin on Monday in the trial of a U.S. Navy SEAL platoon leader court-martialed on charges of murdering a wounded Iraqi prisoner and shooting unarmed civilians, a war crimes case that has drawn the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, a decorated career combat veteran, has denied all the charges and says he is wrongly accused. He could face life in prison if convicted in the trial arising from his 2017 deployment to Mosul, Iraq.
The proceedings in a military courthouse at U.S. Naval Base San Diego are due to last three weeks, starting with the selection of between five and 15 active-duty Navy officers and enlisted personnel to hear the case and render a verdict. Empanelling the jury is expected to take one or two days.
The opening of the trial was postponed several times by a lengthy round of proceedings to deal with defence allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
Gallagher's lawyers sought dismissal of the charges after learning that Navy prosecutors had electronically tracked email communications of defence lawyers without a warrant, ostensibly to pinpoint the source of material leaked from sealed case files.
The presiding judge, a Navy captain, ultimately removed the lead prosecutor from the case and freed Gallagher from pre-trial confinement.
The judge also granted defence lawyers a potentially valuable edge in jury selection – the right to reject, with no reason given, two more potential jurors than they otherwise could exclude through the use of a "peremptory challenge."
Gallagher, 39, is charged with murdering a wounded, helpless Islamic State fighter in his custody by stabbing him in the neck, and with attempted murder in the wounding of two civilians – a school girl and an elderly man – shot from a sniper's perch.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including obstructing justice in the case. He maintains that fellow SEAL team members who are testifying against him, several under grants of immunity, are disgruntled subordinates who fabricated allegations to force him from command.
Before he was released from custody late last month, Gallagher had been ordered restricted to base at the nearby Naval Medical Center San Diego.
He was transferred there in March from a military brig at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in Southern California at the direction of Trump, who ordered that Gallagher be held in less-restrictive pretrial confinement "in honor of his past service to our country."
Trump said last month that he is considering pardons for a number of military service members accused of war crimes, and Gallagher's case was believed to be one of those under review.
The prospect of presidential clemency seemed heightened by last month's appointment to Gallagher's defence team of Marc Mukasey, one of Trump's personal lawyers. Gallagher's lead civilian attorney, Timothy Parlatore, has said his client has not sought a pardon.

Blog > Infrastructure Development > Brownsville – Mexican Infrastructure in the U.S.
Brownsville – Mexican Infrastructure in the U.S.
Today, I want to provide an overview of the interesting and important role that Brownsville plays in the Mexican energy trade. Yes, Brownsville, Texas, at the southern edge of the United States, plays an important role in maintaining the balance of gasoline, diesel and other products impacting the entirety of the Mexican fuels market. Get the latest right here.
A Lay of the Land
Brownsville sits at the far south-western edge of the United States Gulf Coast, directly across the Rio Grande river from the Mexican cities of Matamoros and Reynosa. The Port of Brownsville is a deep-water seaport with a 17-mile channel with 36 feet of draft that claims several midstream companies as tenants. This location provides broad optionality for receiving refined product and delivering fuels directly into Mexico.
Included in the Brownsville market are a handful of recognizable midstream names as well as some smaller but active private facilities. Through our investment in Bluewing One, we've been players in the cross-border trade going all the way back to 2011. In total, there are just north of 4 million barrels of storage, 5 liquid cargo docks, direct interchanges with the Union Pacific, BNSF and Kansas City Southern de Mexico railroads, and access to several international bridge crossing options for tanker trucks. An important note on the trucking side is that the Port of Brownsville issues overweight permits that allows tanker trucks to load to the legal carry weight for Mexico. With about 200 extra gallons per load, the economics are slightly better trucking out of Brownsville.
Products In, Products Out
With over 4 million barrels of storage, what does the volume of trade look like today?
Based on some data points provided by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and a couple of years of local knowledge, we estimate that roughly 125,000 bpd of refined fuels is passing through the port. That's approximately 14% of all refined product exports to Mexico. Not bad for a sleepy little port town most people have never heard of, visited or considered for business.
If there are 125,000 bpd flowing out of Brownsville, one might ask, where do the products originate?
On the U.S. side, standard delivery economics rule the day. NuStar Energy L.P.owns a pipeline that delivers approximately 45,000 bpd of diesel and gasoline from Corpus Christi. There is an active rail delivery business into Brownsville for certain products (lubes, waxes, propane), but those volumes are relatively small. The remaining bulk of products landing in Brownsville is delivered via marine vessel (barge or tanker) primarily sourced from Corpus Christi and Houston. Depending on market economics, originating points can include the U.S. East Coast and even Europe.
If the U.S. side is fairly straight forward and economically driven, the Mexican side is a different story. Mexico is more necessity-driven than economic.
The volumes leaving Brownsville use different exit points to enter Mexico depending on their ultimate destination and form of transportation. The Brownsville to Monterrey pipeline owned by PMI/Pemex is the only viable pipeline option into Mexico (when operational). For truck volumes, the options vary, including nearby border towns Rio Bravo and Pharr, with other crossing points further away such as Hidalgo and even Laredo. A majority of the railcars leaving Brownsville cross in Laredo though some depart via the Brownsville crossing.
Outbound, the PMI pipeline delivers 45-50,000 bpd of gasoline and diesel (when operable) to Monterrey—the consumption capital of the north. These volumes line up fairly evenly with the inbound deliveries via the NuStar line. The majority of the remaining barrels departing Brownsville travel over the road by tanker truck which leaves a relatively small share of the product being delivered into Mexico by rail. That equates to a LOT of trucks but see the rationale below.
Sphere of Influence Across the Border
The single pipeline owned by PMI feeds the Monterrey market and supplements the Cadereyta refinery to supply the population center and industrial hub of the north. Consistent delivery is of the utmost importance and highest priority.
With excellent connectivity to Kansas City Southern de Mexico and positive differentials in place, Brownsville marketers can place a barrel anywhere in Mexico by rail. But Brownsville market is not ideal for rail competition. Houston or Corpus Christi can refine a barrel, load it on rail, and deliver it directly to any destination in Mexico. Comparatively, Brownsville needs to receive a barrel (most likely off the water at a cost of $2-4 per barrel) then load that same barrel onto a railcar and ship it at a comparable cost to a destination in Mexico. The added cost of barging the barrel down the coast is an economics killer. Pricing opportunities do arise and, with supply on hand, shipments can be made via rail. It just doesn't work as a standalone business.
While trucks are arguably the least cost-efficient delivery method in the refined fuels spectrum, they do play a serious and essential role on the border. Consider that the average tanker truck with an overweight permit can hold approximately 8,000 gallons of fuel (just shy of 200 bbls). But a good fleet of trucks is like an accordion, one day delivering 10,000 barrels and the next day delivering 40,000 barrels. Additionally, while pipelines and rail track are destination specific, trucks can deliver fuels to Monterrey today then route barrels to Reynosa, Matamoros, Victoria, Nuevo Laredo and even as far south as Mexico City tomorrow. Unlike pipelines, railroads and bulk facilities, trucks are cheap. Need another 10,000 barrels a day? Buy 50 trucks and have them on the road by Monday.
It only makes sense that Mexico and big conglomerates focus on Mexico City and the center of Mexico. It's where the most people are, and the biggest problems exist. Those problems would be even bigger and more desperate if the northern region of Mexico was dependent upon a domestic supply that accesses products via the southern ports. When viewed in total, the facilities in the Port of Brownsville play a major role in consistently balancing the fuel market across the three northeastern states of Mexico (Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila).
But Why Do We Care?
Mexico offers a unique situation with considerable financial implications. Domestic supply is perilous, yet demand is constant to slightly growing. The existing infrastructure has little to no slack in the system (the recent pipeline shutdown exemplifies the tightness in the market) and what is on the ground is old and in need of significant repairs.
Former President Nieto Peña opened the door to foreign investors who have spent the previous four years chomping at the bit to grab a slice of the Mexican market. Billions of dollars have been outlined to solve the asset shortfall. But current Mexican President Lopez Obrador has spoken loud and clear about his intention to solve the imbalance internally giving all the foreign investors sour faces.
Lopez Obrador may plow ahead with his domestic tonic, but results will be disruptive given the lack of infrastructure, the massive cost to cure the problems, financial constraints of Pemex, and the long lead time in fixing, changing, and repairing the system. If the answer is a Mexican resurgence, then U.S. players will look to place their investments elsewhere.
But in Brownsville, you can experience the best of both worlds. An investment in the U.S., built by best in class contractors, and no domestic threats of violence or corruption, with Mexico as the end market. There are other border towns across the southern U.S. that offer those qualities, but they don't have access to refined products. Brownsville is just down the coast from the refining epicenter. And with that combination, Brownsville has the proximity and water access to deliver the fuels du jour into Mexico on an as-needed basis. It is truly one of a kind.

Sung. which could prove to be useful in randomized control trials if SARS should return. The findings that horseshoe bats are the natural reservoir for SARS-CoV-like computer virus and that civets are the amplification host highlight the importance of wildlife and biosecurity in farms and wet markets, which can serve as the source and amplification centers for emerging infections. INTRODUCTION Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is usually a novel computer virus that caused the first major pandemic of the new millennium (89, 180, 259). The rapid economic growth in southern China has led to an increasing demand for animal proteins including those from amazing game food animals such as civets. Large numbers and varieties of these wild game mammals in overcrowded cages and the lack SERP2 of biosecurity steps in wet markets allowed the jumping of this novel computer virus from animals to human (353, 376). Its capacity for human-to-human transmission, the lack of awareness in hospital contamination control, and international air travel facilitated the rapid global dissemination of this agent. Over 8,000 people were affected, with a crude fatality rate of 10%. The acute and dramatic impact on health care systems, economies, and societies of affected countries within just a few months of early 2003 was unparalleled since the last plague. The small reemergence of SARS in late 2003 after the resumption of the wildlife market in southern China and the recent discovery of a very similar computer virus in horseshoe bats, bat SARS-CoV, suggested that SARS can return if conditions are fit for the introduction, mutation, amplification, and transmission of this dangerous computer virus (45, 190, 215, 347). Here, we review the biology of the computer virus in relation to the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, animal models or hosts, and options for treatment, immunization, and contamination control. TAXONOMY AND VIROLOGY OF SARS-CoV SARS-CoV is usually one of 36 coronaviruses in the family within HPGDS inhibitor 2 the order are known to cause respiratory or intestinal infections in humans and other animals (Fig. ?(Fig.1).1). Despite a marked degree of phylogenetic divergence from other known coronaviruses, SARS-CoV together with bat SARS-CoV are now considered group 2b coronaviruses (190, 282). Primary isolation of SARS-CoV was achieved by inoculation of patients' specimens into embryonal monkey kidney cell lines such as FRhK-4 or Vero E6 cell lines, which produced cytopathic changes at foci, where cells become round and refractile within 5 to 14 days (259). These initial cytopathic changes spread throughout the cell monolayers, leading to cell detachment within 24 to 48 h. Subcultures can be made on Vero (monkey kidney), Huh-7 (liver malignancy) (301), CACO-2 (colonic carcinoma) (79) or other colorectal cancer, MvLu (mink lung epithelial) (104), and POEK and PS (pig) cell lines (122). Transmission electron microscopy of infected cell lines showed characteristic coronavirus particles within dilated cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum and double-membrane vesicles. Clusters of extracellular viral particles adhering to the HPGDS inhibitor 2 surface of the plasma membrane were also seen. Negatively stained electron microscopy showed viral particles of 80 to 140 nm with characteristic surface projections of HPGDS inhibitor 2 surface proteins from the lipid envelope (89, 180, 259). SARS-CoV has a HPGDS inhibitor 2 higher degree of stability in the environment than other known human coronaviruses (91, 276). It can survive for at least 2 to 3 3 days on dry surfaces at room heat and 2 to 4 days in stool (276). The electron microscopic appearance and genome order of 5-replicase (Orf1ab)-structural proteins (spike [S]-envelope [E]-membrane [M]-nucleocapsid [N])-poly(T)-3 are similar to those of other members of the (236). Similar to other coronaviruses, it is an enveloped positive-sense single-stranded RNA computer virus with a genome size of almost 30 kb (Fig. ?(Fig.2).2). The genome is usually HPGDS inhibitor 2 predicted to have 14 functional open reading frames (ORFs) (290). Their functions and putative functions are layed out in Table ?Table1.1. Two large 5-terminal ORFs, ORFs 1a and 1b, encode 16 nonstructural proteins, 7 of which are likely to be involved in the transcription and replication of the largest genome among all RNA viruses (92, 95, 158, 166, 242, 284, 309, 316, 343, 414).

Every offseason the NFL Network polls a number of current players to determine the Top 100 stars in the league.
It's a fun discussion topic during an otherwise slow time in the football calendar, and while the rankings carry no official meaning, it would be silly to dismiss the process altogether. After all, these are players voting for their fellow players.
Over the last few seasons, the Redskins have seen a various number of their players make the list. Trent Williams is a mainstay, Jordan Reed made an appearance, and while he was playing in Washington, QB Kirk Cousins made the list.
For example, in 2017, Cousins ranked 70th on the NFL Top 100. That same season, while quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, Smith came in at 81 on the list.
Now Redskins QB, there is a bit of a mystery surrounding Smith.
The NFL has revealed numbers 100 to 11, and Smith hasn't made the list. Cousins, now a Viking, landed 94th, the first QB on the list.
Another 10 QBs have been named to the Top 100: Jimmy Garoppolo (90), Derek Carr (60), Philip Rivers (56), Case Keenum (51), Deshaun Watson (50), Jared Goff (38), Matt Stafford (31), Matt Ryan (29), Ben Roethlisberger (18) and Russell Wilson (11).
Smith had the best statistical season of his career in 2017, and he led the NFL in passer rating. He certainly belongs higher on the Top 100 than a number of the quarterbacks listed above, particularly young players without his track record of success like Keenum, Watson or Goff.
But does Smith deserve a Top 10 ranking in the NFL?
For Smith to make the list, it will mean a Top 10 ranking. Consider too that Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Carson Wentz have not yet landed on the Top 100. All four of those players seem like locks for the Top 10, which will be revealed next Monday night on NFL Network.
It might seem surprising for Smith to land in the Top 10 of the NFL Top 100, but it would make zero sense for him to be left off the list altogether.

Köckritz: Chinese authorities 'accused me of spying'
At first they arrested her Chinese assistant, Zhang Miao. Then the authorities put the screws on her. In the end, Angela Köckritz, correspondent for German weekly Die Zeit, decided to leave China in haste.
DW: Your assistant Zhang Miao was arrested more than three months ago. But you went public with that story only a few days ago. Why?
Angela Köckritz: We did exactly what the Chinese have always been demanding. We gave them time so that things could be negotiated behind the scenes. But that didn't lead to anything. That's why we decided to go public.
Miao was arrested after she returned from Hong Kong where she, together with you, reported about the pro-democracy protests. What are the authorities accusing her of?
She was charged with inciting a public disturbance. At first they told me that she was involved in a village squabble. She allegedly reviled and hustled police officers. But right from the beginning, this hasn't sounded very convincing. We still don't know for certain what exactly they are accusing her of. We have so far not seen any proofs. The problem with the accusation of causing "public disturbance" is that it's used against those who have a different political view. It is construed extensively.
How is Miao doing? When was the last time you have had contact with her?
Her lawyer last saw her on December 25. Our latest information is that she is doing alright, given the circumstances. However, Miao seems to be suffering in prison, both physically and mentally. Unfortunately I can't say for certain what exactly that means. We have no reliable information on what will happen next.
You, too, were questioned several times by the Chinese Ministry of State Security. What exactly happened?
I was questioned four times. Then I left the country. Otherwise there would have been more, I presume. The questioning always lasted several hours; four and a half the longest. Every time there were new investigators, and I therefore had to deal with new people each time I was there.
The first ones weren't very experienced, but the ones I met later were extremely experienced investigators. They used a lot of tricks and tried to unsettle me psychologically so that I would become nervous or scared and make mistakes. During the course of the questioning, they threatened not to issue my journalist visa for next year. Furthermore, I was threatened with unspecified negative consequences. They later accused me of spying and organizing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
Zhao Ziyang: The forgotten architect of China's economic reforms
In 1989, China's reformist premier Zhao was removed from power and put under house arrest after the Tiananmen protests. He died from a stroke in 2005, but his name remains a taboo in China, says Eberhard Sandschneider. (14.01.2015)
HRW warns of loopholes in China's first domestic violence draft law
China has drafted its first ever law against domestic violence, expanding the legal options available to victims. But as HRW's Maya Wang tells DW, the bill won't cover all cases, including those of unmarried couples. (27.11.2014)
The Sino-Pakistani axis: Asia's 'little understood' relationship
China and Pakistan have been described as "all weather friends," but the nature of their ties remains secretive. DW talks to analyst Andrew Small, about some of the most sensitive aspects of this strategic relationship. (15.01.2015)
China: Latin America's dangerous new friend
China is throwing its weight - and money - around in Latin America. It plans to spend $250 billion in the region over the next decade - but this cash comes with strings attached and could do more harm than good. (15.01.2015)
Are there any incidents you specifically remember?
There are two things that I can't get out of my mind. During the third interrogation, there was one investigator who loved horse riding methapors. He explained to me that the most important thing with jockeys and horses would be that the jockey earns the trust of his horse in no time. Then he asked me whether I trusted him. I said: Don't take this personal but the answer is "no".
Then he told me that my assistant had said that I had organized the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. I said that I wouldn't believe that and that for me there were only three options: she was forced to give this statement, or she was lying, or that she had never said anything like that at all. Then the investigator said that there was a fourth option. And all of a sudden he had a go at me and yelled: "you're lying, you're lying, you're lying."
A second moment that left a fierce impact on me was when a member of the German Embassy told me to hire a lawyer because if I were to be arrested, the Embassy could do nothing but protest. That's when I thought it might be better for me to leave the country.
It is well-known that the Ministry of State Security invites foreign correspondents for talks. But there seems to be a whole new dimension to the way that you were put under pressure. Is that new?
It was all very new to me. That was why I asked around among more experienced colleagues, among them the foreign correspondents club in Bejing. There were occasions when journalists were invited - for example after the outburst of the Arab Spring - and were told that their visas wouldn't be renewed. Most of the foreign correspondents faced troubles with local law enforcement authorities when researching a story. But an incident with such a dimension has so far not happened. Nobody could remember anything like that.
Your assistant is still in detention. How do you deal with it personally?
In the beginning, I tried to lock out all emotions. There was only one thought: Getting her out of there. This thought ruled my brain and my emotional life. So writing the article about the incident was very painful because all the emotions welled up. It was probably the text that was hardest to write for me - especially because I am such close friends with Miao.
Could you imagine working in China again?
Yes, of course. I am like Deng Xiaoping. I'll be back.

Bronx News 12: Bronx pediatrician works to help under-served immigrant community
Posted: Mar 20, 2019 7:49 AM EDT
Updated: Mar 20, 2019 7:49 AM EDT
According to health officials, there are many Spanish-speaking families in the Bronx that have trouble finding a provider that can speak their language.
A Bronx-based caregiver is making it his goal to make sure more Spanish-speaking families can receive the care they need.
"I saw working and training in the Bronx, that there was a big need for Spanish-speaking doctors here," says Dr. David Aguirre.
Dr. Aguirre works as a pediatrician with the Montefiore Medical Group in the Grand Concourse.
He believes that there is a major miscommunication in patient care when it comes to Spanish-speaking patients that are being treated by English-speaking doctors.
"There are a number of studies that have shown that there are better health care outcomes if a patient can relate to their physician," says Jo Wiederhorn, president of AMSNY.
Dr. Aguirre says in his experience those studies are proving to be true.
"I can connect with them in terms of the language and also through shared experiences," says Dr. Aguirre.
According to the Associated Medical Schools of New York, only 6 percent of doctors in New York are Latino.
"It compelled me even more to be able to serve under-served populations," says Dr. Aguirre. "It helps to be able to understand where they're coming from and to be able to help them navigate the medical system here in the U.S. Which can be difficult for new patients to this country for the first time."

Trucost's pioneering carbon audit shows that Henderson's fund is 32% less carbon intensive than the FTSE All-Share Index.
To understand how successful their investment strategy was, Henderson commissioned Trucost to undertake a pioneering 'carbon audit' of one of its SRI funds – the Global Care Income fund.
Henderson believed the audit would demonstrate that an active approach to SRI not only delivers financial returns, but can also bring environmental benefits for investors. The detailed company-by-company analysis of the fund's holdings also helps to show how investment choices between alternative stock ideas can affect the fund's carbon performance. Finally, the audit also contributes to Henderson's goal of constantly improving the transparency of their SRI funds, both in financial and environmental terms.
Trucost found that the Global Care Income fund was 32% less carbon intensive than its benchmark. Underweight positions in Mining and Oil & Gas made the largest positive impact on the fund's carbon intensity, while an over-weight position in Utilities had the biggest negative impact. This analysis only addresses the operational emissions generated by the companies in the portfolio; it does not calculate the emissions associated with a company's goods and services. Substantial emissions are generated from the consumption of oil, gas and coal sold by British companies, which is not included in this analysis. The fund's significant under-weight position in these sectors means that the fund has limited exposure to regulatory measures being taken to reduce consumption of these carbon intensive fuels.


Tooth decay might seem like a minor difficulty for some individuals, however keep in mind that oral healthcare is linked to your general health. It might even have an effect on your personal life, in reality, an estimated fifty one million school hours are lost annually due to dental-associated illness.

Commission reiterates need for consumer protection, education
Mr Babatunde Irukera, the Director-General, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has reiterated the importance for consumer protection and education in the country.
Irukera said this on Friday at a Stakeholders' Forum organised by FCCPC to commemorate the "World Consumer Rights Day 2019'' at Bannex Plaza, in Abuja.
The World Consumer Rights Day had as its theme "Trusted Smart Products''.
According to the director-general, most constitutions across the world do not capture consumerism as a fundamental human right and the nature of business practiced is mainly centred at making profit.
He said it was thus important to recognise what consumer rights are, to respect those rights, ensure its enforcement and consumer satisfaction.
"The biggest problem in the World today is whether consumers truly recognise their rights and whether companies do enough to respect their obligation to regard those rights.
"And so, to dedicate a specific day to the rights of consumers, I think it is appropriate, with the number of years this has happened, I think consumers are more aware of their rights.
"Although in spite of this, there is still a long way to travel for consumers to truly understand their rights and for them to have the motivation and understand the enforcement mechanism that is available.
"This is also an opportunity for governments to reinforce and deepen the regulatory framework and the enforcement mechanism to ensure consumer rights are respected,'' Irukera said.
Irukera said the event was held at the Bannex plaza, adding "because it is the hub for exchange and sale for smart products whether telephone devices, televisions, computers and the like.''
He said the event was also an opportunity to speak to the key stakeholders, those who sell and buy the products.
The Chairman, National Association of Nigerian Traders (NANTS) FCT chapter, Mr Edozie Ugwu, urged the commission to ensure a proper channel where consumers could get redress for fake or substandard products.
"There is the need for a desk officer to be in some sensitive public places like the public market and airport in case there is any short change so the consumer can easily complain for a redress.
"There must also be a proper punishment for such offenders as this is the only way that people will be restrained from bringing fake and substandard products into the country.''
Also speaking, Mr Chibuike Nzedimma, the Chairman Bannex Tenant Association, urged the commission to collaborate with the channels of smart products in ensuring that proper standards for products were set.
Nzedimma said the wholesalers, distributors and retailers related majorly with the consumers of smart products and know what they want.
"Every consumer of a smart product wants his or her privacy to be protected and that is something that the commission should work on.
"When you use smart products, you exchange information's such as your email, passwords, banking transactions and these should be kept private and should not be leaked to the public via globe or internet.
"We also expect the commission to educate the consumers and traders on product specifications because the specifications for some products differ across the globe,'' he said.

HeadHunters TV
Randy Birdsong
Young, driven, talented. All words used to describe Birdsong and his desire to produce the best outdoor television available to viewers. As skilled behind the camera as he is in front of it, Randy Birdsong wakes up each day thinking about how to best tell the American Hunter's story. A Missouri native who now makes his home in Illinois, Birdsong is best known for his award-winning work on one of the country's most popular outdoor shows, Whitetail Freaks. But Birdsong's passion for hunting goes much deeper than just pursuing monster whitetails. He's an avid waterfowl, elk, mule deer and turkey hunter whose thousand-watt smile lets everyone around him know that he's here for good fellowship as well as good hunting.
Nate Hosie
Nate Hosie was born and raised in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the town of Montdale. At six, Nat's father and gradfather began taking him on pheasant hunts and it didn't take them long to realize they had created a monster. As years passed his passion and knowledge for hunting grew. He began to hunt with two neighbors, country certified experts on hunting turkeys, deer, grouse and anything else that moved. Nate took an overwhelming interest in turkey hunting and took his calling and hunting tactics to the next level. Practicing yelping on a daily basis, he won several calling contests, earning the nickname "The Turkey Slayer". After a few years with Top Calls, a legendary call company, he began doing production and field staffing for Hunters Specialties, meeting Randy Birdsong. Nate jumped at the opportunity to be a part of HeadHunters TV, and is excited to show the viewers that there still are people in this world who appreciate memories made in God's country.
