Q: How to allow to use the master password in Laravel 8 by overriding Auth structure? I've got a website written in pure PHP and now I'm learning Laravel, so I'm remaking this website again to learn the framework. I have used built-in Auth Fasade to make authentication. I would like to understand, what's going on inside, so I decided to learn more by customization. Now I try to make a master password, which would allow direct access to every single account (as it was done in the past).
Unfortunately, I can't find any help, how to do that. When I was looking for similar issues I found only workaround solutions like login by admin and then switching to another account or solution for an older version of Laravel etc.
I started studying the Auth structure by myself, but I lost and I can't even find a place where the password is checked. I also found the very expanded solution on GitHub, so I tried following it step by step, but I failed to make my own, shorter implementation of this. In my old website I needed only one row of code for making a master password, but in Laravel is a huge mountain of code with no change for me to climb on it.
As far I was trying for example changing all places with hasher->check part like here:
protected function validateCurrentPassword($attribute, $value, $parameters)
{
    $auth = $this->container->make('auth');
    $hasher = $this->container->make('hash');

    $guard = $auth->guard(Arr::first($parameters));

    if ($guard->guest()) {
        return false;
    }

    return $hasher->check($value, $guard->user()->getAuthPassword());
}

for
return ($hasher->check($value, $guard->user()->getAuthPassword()) || $hasher->check($value, 'myHashedMasterPasswordString'));

in ValidatesAttributes, DatabaseUserProvider, EloquentUserProvider and DatabaseTokenRepository. But it didn't work. I was following also all instances of the getAuthPassword() code looking for more clues.
My other solution was to place somewhere a code like this:
if(Hash::check('myHashedMasterPasswordString',$given_password))
   Auth::login($user);

But I can't find a good place for that in middlewares, providers, or controllers.
I already learned some Auth features, for example, I succeed in changing email authentication for using user login, but I can't figure out, how the passwords are working here. Could you help me with the part that I'm missing? I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me which parts of code should I change and why (if it's not so obvious).
I would like to follow code execution line by line, file by file, so maybe I would find a solution by myself, but I feel like I'm jumping everywhere without any idea, how this all is connected with each other.

A: First of all, before answering the question, I must say that I read the comments following your question and I got surprised that the test you made returning true in validateCredentials() method in EloquentUserProvider and DatabaseUserProvider classes had failed.
I tried it and it worked as expected (at least in Laravel 8). You just need a an existing user (email) and you will pass the login with any non-empty password you submit.
Which of both classes are you really using (because you don't need to edit both)? It depends of the driver configuration in your auth.php configuration file.
'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => App\Models\User::class,
        ],

        // 'users' => [
        //     'driver' => 'database',
        //     'table' => 'users',
        // ],
    ],

As you already thought, you can simply add an "or" to the validation in the validateCredentials() method, comparing the $credentials['password'] to your custom master password.
Having said that, and confirming that's the place where you'd have to add your master password validation, I think the best (at least my recommended) way to accomplish your goal is that you track the classes/methods, starting from the official documentation, which recommends you to execute the login through the Auth facade:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class YourController extends Controller
{
    public function authenticate(Request $request)
    {
        //
        if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
            //
        }
        //
    }
}

You would start by creating your own controller (or modifying an existing one), and creating your own Auth class, extending from the facade (which uses the __callStatic method to handle calls dynamically):
use YourNamespace\YourAuth;

class YourController extends Controller
{
    //
    public function authenticate(Request $request)
    {
        //
        if (YourAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
            //
        }
        //
    }
}

//
 * @method static \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Guard|\Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\StatefulGuard guard(string|null $name = null)
//

class YourAuth extends Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade
{
//
}

And use the same logic, overriding all the related methods in the stack trace until  you get to use the validateCredentials() method, which in the end will also be overrided in your own CustomEloquentUserProvider class which will be extending fron the original EloquentUserProvider.
This way, you will have accomplished your goal, and kept a correct override of the whole process, being able to update your laravel installation without the risk of loosing your work. Worst case scenario? You'll have to fix any of your overriding methods in case that any of them has drastically changed in the original classes (which has a ver low chance to happen).
Tips
When making the full overriding, maybe you'll prefer to add some significant changes, like evading the interfaces and going straight for the classes and methods you really need. For example: Illuminate/Auth/SessionGuard::validate.
You would also wish to save your master password in an environment variable in your .env file. For example:
// .env
MASTER_PASSWORD=abcdefgh

and then call it with the env() helper:
if ($credentials['password'] === env('MASTER_PASSWORD')) {
//
}

Nice journey!

A: A more complete solution would be the define a custom guard and use that instead of trying to create your own custom auth mechanism.
Firstly, define a new guard within config/auth.php:
'guards' => [
    'master' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ]
],

Note: It uses the exact same setup as the default web guard.
Secondly, create a new guard located at App\Guards\MasterPasswordGuard:
<?php

namespace App\Guards;

use Illuminate\Auth\SessionGuard;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class MasterPasswordGuard extends SessionGuard
{
    public function attempt(array $credentials = [], $remember = false): bool
    {
        if ($credentials['password'] === 'master pass') {
            return true;
        } else {
            return Auth::guard('web')->attempt($credentials, $remember);
        }
    }
}

Note:

*

*You can replace 'master pass' with an env/config variable or simply hardcode it. In this case I'm only checking for a specific password. You might want to pair that with an email check too

*If the master pass isn't matched it falls back to the default guard which checks the db

Thirdly, register this new guard in the boot method of AuthServiceProvider:
Auth::extend('master', function ($app, $name, array $config) {
    return new MasterPasswordGuard(
        $name,
        Auth::createUserProvider($config['provider']),
        $app->make('session.store'),
        $app->request
    );
});

Fourthly, in your controller or wherever you wish to verify the credentials, use:
Auth::guard('master')->attempt([
    'email' => 'email',
    'password' => 'pass'
]);

Example
Register the route:
Route::get('test', [LoginController::class, 'login']);

Create your controller:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class LoginController
{
    public function login()
    {
        dd(
            Auth::guard('master')->attempt([
                'email' => 'demo@demo.com',
                'password' => 'master pass'
            ]),

            Auth::guard('master')->attempt([
                'email' => 'demo@demo.com',
                'password' => 'non master'
            ]),
        );
    }
}

and if you hit this endpoint, you'll see:

Where true is where the master password was used and false is where it tried searching for a user.

Final Thoughts

*

*From a security standpoint you're opening yourself up to another attack vector and one which is extremely detrimental to the security of your system and the privacy of your users' data. It would be wise to reconsider.

*This validation of credentials should ideally be separated from your controller and moved to a Request class. It'll help keep your codebase more clean and maintainable.

A: Instead of trying to roll your own, you could as well as use a library, which does just that:laravel-impersonate (it's better tested already). This also comes with Blade directives; just make sure to configure it properly, because by default anybody can impersonate anybody else.

There even is (or was) rudimentary support available with: Auth::loginAsId().

A: Here is a possible solution.
To use a master password, you can use the loginUsingId function
Search the user by username, then check if the password matches the master password, and if so, log in with the user ID that it found
public function loginUser($parameters)
{
    $myMasterHashPassword = "abcde";
    $username = $parameters->username;
    $password = $parameters->password;
    $user = User::where('username', $username)->first();
    if (!$user) {
        return response("Username not found", 404);
    }
    if (Hash::check($myMasterHashPassword, $password)) {
        Auth::loginUsingId($user->id);
    }
}

How will the outcome of the EU referendum affect the UK's role on the world stage, including its relationships within other multilateral institutions such as the United Nations?
How do you see the UK's relationship with the United Nations changing as a result of the referendum?
Here is the statement from the "Vote Leave" campaign. You can read and listen to the "remain" campaign statement elsewhere on this website.
1. How will the outcome of the EU referendum affect the UK's role on the world stage, including its relationships within other multilateral institutions such as the United Nations?
Leaving the EU will promote the UK's ability to play a more effective, more independent role on the world stage, one that is more aligned with British priorities. By definition, Brussels only adds value to our foreign policy insofar as we agree with the action being taken. But our weight in the EU and our ability to defend our corner has declined steeply over the 43 years we have been members.
In theory, the EU's common foreign and security policy requires unanimity. This can be a recipe for paralysis. Additionally, the EU's definition of foreign policy excludes areas such as trade and development. Decisions on these issues are subject to qualified majority voting so can be pushed through against British opposition.
By leaving the EU, Britain will regain its voice on key international bodies such as the World Trade Organization, enabling us to accelerate the opening of trade. The EU has failed to reach agreements with any of the world's major economies.
The EU's ambition to take over national representation on financial bodies like the International Monetary Fund was set out explicitly in last year's Five Presidents' Report. This would be a serious risk given the hostility in much of Europe towards Britain's strength in financial services.
2. How will the outcome of the EU referendum support a strong multilateral role for the UK in terms of the international agendas on peace and security, development and human rights?
Outside the EU, Britain would continue to cooperate closely with our friends and allies, including the Union and its member states. We are often at our most effective when we work directly with partner countries, for example fighting Islamic State or, as part of Nato, deterring Russian aggression. The British armed forces are among the best in the world and Britain has the fourth largest defence budget. It is important that our contribution is distinctive and deployed to maximum effect.
European cooperation will continue to be vital in many fields where it already exists such as air travel, sanitary controls, disease, and counterterrorism. But we should not subcontract our international role to a supranational organisation. As we have seen with the EU's faltering and divisive attempts to deal with mass migration into Europe, trying to harmonise the policies of 28 countries with often very different interests can be counter-productive. There is no need for a European army.
Britain is legally committed to spending 0.7% of GDP on international development. This will not change. We will continue to seek improved results in development, human rights, transparency and the fight against corruption.
3. How do you see the UK's relationship with the United Nations changing as a result of the referendum?
The relationship would not change significantly if we left the EU. Britain's permanent seat on the Security Council is central to its ability to play a useful global role and the UK will retain it while continuing to support wider reform of the council. In November 2015, the European Parliament endorsed a report calling for the abolition of the UK's seat on the UN Security Council. Its preference was for "the EU to become a permanent member of that body, with one permanent seat and one single vote." Leaving the EU will remove the threat of Brussels taking over the UK's role.
By leaving the EU and taking back control over our foreign policy, Britain will become more engaged internationally, not less.

When buying paint for any project, we all want to get it right the first time. Buy too little and then you've got to drop everything and head back out to buy more. Buy too much and you spent extra money there that could have gone to some other improvement. Save yourself the inconvenience and figure out the right amount of General Finishes Milk Paint for your project before you start. Here's how to know how much paint you need.
How much General finishes milk paint should I buy?
One gallon of milk paint covers approximately 400 square feet of surface area, making this an awesome choice for kitchens. If you're repainting kitchen cabinets or drawers, a gallon of milk paint will almost definitely be plenty. But of course, be sure to do the math to figure out exactly how much coverage you need.
Don't forget to factor in that you're likely going to be applying multiple coats on the same area. Be sure to consider the surface you're starting with and the color you are trying to achieve when figuring out how many coats of paint you'll need.
One quart of milk paint is adequate coverage for 100 square feet. This is a good size to purchase if you're painting bathroom cabinets or if you're simply touching up a portion of your space. One pint of milk paint is perfect for touching up one or two cabinets, doors or cupboards. If you're not doing a complete refinishing of your kitchen or bathroom, there's no reason to buy excess paint, as paint has a shelf life. Even if a gallon may cost a little less per fluid ounce, there's no reason to buy more than you need.
If you're using Snow White, you might need a little more than you think. Snow White is thinner than the other General Finishes milk paints. If you decide on that color, my professional advice is to make sure you've got about 20% more than you think you need.
Where to Buy General Finishes Paint?
Now that you know how much you need, where can you get it? Restyle Junkie is a General Finishes retailer so stop by the showroom to pick up your paint.
Contact us with any questions you have about how much paint to buy for the coverage you need or inquiries regarding refinishing ideas. We'll be glad to talk to you and we usually have any and all General Finishes milk paint in stock for you. We even stock gallons!

Through the years, she has received numerous acting awards including FAP Award for Best Actress because of her role in the 1983 movie, Pieta as well as FAMAS Award and Metro Manila Film Festival for Best Actress in Paradise Inn.
Recently, she went to the social networking site, Facebook wherein she expressed her support for PBBM.
On Facebook, she posted some photos of her along with the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
Her post was accompanied by the caption: "Mr. President, we did not campaign for you but as the duly elected president… you have our support. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!"
Many were surprised since Velez has been known as a staunch critic of the president during the campaign season.
He even called the president "mayabang" as well as criticized his absence in the presidential debates.
Apparently, there are people criticizing her, calling her "balimbing."
"Ang daming bitter na hindi maka move on.. Tapos na ang campaign, may nanalo na. Just so you know, I am not utak 'dilawan' (bitter to the max) and some 'loyalistas' feeling entitled dahil nanalo ang kandidato nila," she explained.
Vivian Velez has resigned as Director-General of the Film Academy of the Philippines.

Marketing is a powerful tool. It can turn a product into an overnight success or turn a musician into an overnight superstar. That being said, without the support of happy customers or fans, marketing can only go so far. Word of mouth has proven to be much more valuable than marketing campaigns. Even with a well-orchestrated campaign, the product itself must provoke a positive response from consumers for the best result. In the current climate, advertising is much less trusted than public opinion and social media is playing a huge part in this change. Now anyone can voice their opinions online at the click of a button, changing the way people make purchase decisions. We've taken a look at why you should make public opinion your priority.
The truth is that often, potential fans will take more note of what others are saying about you than they will about your campaigns. If you are disliked by fans, this will damage your reputation, and you'll struggle to build a loyal fan base. Build trust with your following and prove that you are the right artist to follow. Building a positive relationship with your fanbase is imperative and can be integrated into your campaigns to make your content even more effective.
In the music industry, social media is absolutely filled with promotion on a daily basis. Everywhere you look there are posts about a brand new single, an album, a live show. Many artists don't post anything other than promotion online. In reality, no audience wants to sit and read promotion non-stop. Eventually, promotion becomes robotic and the audience loses interest. As an artist, appearing robotic to your audience is an extremely negative issue, as it prevents you from building a truly meaningful relationship. In order to really connect with your audience, you must find a balance between promotion and humanity.
By promoting your releases the same way as other artists, your content is destined to be lost amongst everybody else's. Fans are used to reading posts about tracks, why should they pay more attention to yours than anyone else's? Limiting your promotional content and providing a more personal approach ensures that when you do promote, fans will be interested. As with all social channels, variety is key, without offering variety your promotion will be lost in the mix.
Providing quality music to keep your fans happy coupled with exciting social content is the perfect method for maintaining interest in your brand. Without providing quality music, fans will begin to lose interest in your brand and will start to drift elsewhere towards other artists who produce quality music more frequently. Keeping your fans happy is key to encouraging more engagement, as fans that are invested in your content are more likely to want to share it.
Overall, fans are much more likely to engage with artists who balance their promotion with real content geared towards their demographic. Diverse content is much more likely to provoke increased engagement and entertain your fan base as a whole. Without diverse content, your audience will become disconnected from your content and your campaigns will fail to reach their full potential. Always make sure to find the balance between marketing and providing exciting and open content for your fans to enjoy. Traditional promotion is not always the best option when promoting a release, and the less sales-oriented your promotion seems, the more engagement you will experience as a result. Effective promotion is about varying your content to provoke the best possible response from your audience. Don't forget to be human and open up, interest in your content will grow as a result.

Jorge de Villalonga (Ciudad de Mallorca, 1664 – Madrid, 23 de mayo de 1740) era un noble español y caballero de la Orden de San Juan que ostentaba el título de conde de la Cueva y que llegara a ser teniente general del Ejército Real y luego nombrado como el primer virrey, desde 27 de noviembre de 1719 al 17 de mayo de 1724, del recién creado Virreinato de Nueva Granada, sucediendo al gobernador interino Antonio Ignacio de la Pedrosa y Guerrero. En su mandato se caracterizó por su preocupación por los indígenas y por la activación de la construcción de las murallas de Cartagena de Indias.

Biografía

Jorge de Villalonga había nacido en el año 1664 en la Ciudad de Mallorca.

Fue conde de La Cueva y caballero de la Orden de San Juan, además de teniente general de los Reales Ejércitos, consejero en el Real y Supremo Consejo de Guerra, procurador real del Reino de Mallorca, general de las armas del puerto y presidio del Callao en el Perú, de donde pasó a virrey gobernador y capitán general del Nuevo Reino de Granada y presidente de la Real Audiencia de Santafé de Bogotá.

El 15 de diciembre de 1718 mientras se desempeñaba como jefe del ejército en el Perú, recibió la noticia de que había sido nombrado primer virrey del recientemente creado Virreinato de Nueva Granada. La nueva administración política incluía las actuales Venezuela, Colombia, Panamá y Ecuador. Hasta el 27 de mayo de 1717, este territorio había formado parte del Virreinato del Perú.

Villalonga hizo un largo viaje por tierra para asumir su nuevo cargo, parando en el camino en Quito y Popayán. El 17 de diciembre de 1718, causó una gran impresión en los habitantes de Santa Fe de Bogotá por la gran pompa de su entrada formal en la capital. Su estilo de vida desde entonces seguiría contrastando profundamente con la pobreza de la mayoría de los habitantes de la ciudad.

El virrey tenía órdenes específicas para acabar con el desorden y la corrupción rampantes entre los funcionarios reales del territorio. En 1722, formuló cargos contra el contable Domingo de Mena. Sin embargo, su administración fue conocido por su arbitrariedad y corrupción. Las instrucciones de Villalonga también especificaban que debía prevenir el desarrollo de las industrias del vino y textil en dicho Reino, con el fin de proteger a la industria española de la competencia. En noviembre de 1720, fuerzas españolas atacaron el asentamiento neerlandés de Tucacas, en la costa de la actual Venezuela, que era un foco de contrabando. Fue en gran parte destruido por los españoles, incluida una sinagoga que allí había.

En 1721, siguiendo órdenes del gabinete en Madrid, Villalonga expulsó a todos los extranjeros, tanto residentes como visitantes temporales, sin excluir a los hombres casados con mujeres oriundas del territorio. Tomó el control directo de la tesorería, mejoró el registro civil y ayudó a la fundación del colegio de jesuitas en la ciudad de Santa Fe de Antioquia.

Villalonga envió reiteradas recomendaciones a la Corona para suprimir el virreinato y restablecer la antigua dependencia de Perú, en aras de la economía. Sostenía que ese territorio era demasiado pobre para mantener un gobierno virreinal, habiendo pocos españoles y muchos amerindios en el territorio. En septiembre de 1723, luego de tres años de administración de Villalonga, el rey Felipe V ordenó finalmente suprimirlo. La reunificación se hizo efectiva el 11 de mayo de 1724; Villalonga dejó Bogotá el 31 de mayo de ese mismo año. Las dos provincias se mantuvieron unidas hasta 1740, cuando se volvió a crear el Virreinato de Nueva Granada, esta vez permanentemente.

Otras políticas

Villalonga realizó amplios informes sobre el estado del reino, se preocupó por el trato y la justicia administrada a los indígenas, reglamentó lo relativo al registro levantado por parroquias y cabildos. Estableció el primer correo entre Santa Fe y Quito, el cual tenía frecuencia mensual y activó la construcción de las murallas para la defensa de Cartagena de Indias.

Last month I wrote about the Board's commitment to raising the profile of Resolution Institute. I want to continue with this theme, with a focus on what individual members can do.
Some years ago, as a newly trained and accredited dispute resolver, I was keen to join what is now Resolution Institute. As a fledgling dispute resolver, I considered that associating with a well-regarded dispute resolution membership organisation provided me with professional credibility and a professional community. I proudly marketed myself as belonging to Resolution Institute, recommended it for training and CPD and referred those in my client community to Resolution Institute for dispute resolution services beyond those which I was able to provide. In circumstances where a person was unaware of Resolution Institute, I could talk about its role in developing and maintaining professional standards and in encouraging collegiate networks. In so doing, I was actually telling them also about the standards of education and professionalism that I met in order to be part of this very significant DR body. By closely and publicly associating with, Resolution Institute, a body known for excellence in dispute resolution, a little of its lustre reflected on me and supported my marketing efforts.
I know that there are many members who use their connection with Resolution Institute in ways similar to that which my own story above records. As they market themselves, they also raise the profile of Resolution Institute.
As a membership organisation, we rely on members to "market the brand" on behalf of the organisation, on behalf of their colleagues and of themselves. Marketing the brand effectively requires high standards of professional integrity and behaviour as described in the Code of Ethics >>). It requires high standards of professional practice and a commitment to ongoing professional learning, grading and accreditation. Marketing the brand requires our members to be ambassadors for Resolution Institute, using its name in preference to the name of one of its former constituent organisations. It requires the collective effort of all our members.
Update the profile and CV on your firm's website. Some members' profiles continue to claim membership of one of Resolution Institute's constituent organisations.
Add the Resolution Institute post-nominals to your name >> As with many post nominals, ours are a conversation starter - their meaning is not obvious to the uninitiated!
Let me encourage you to take what steps you can to increase the recognition of Resolution Institute.

Infertility in females refers to the incapacity to conceive and give birth to a living baby. Infertility or failure to reproduce must be distinguished from frigidity which denotes failure to perform the sex act or performing it imperfectly.
Female infertility symptoms
Psychological factors can result in various female sterility symptoms
Psychological factors like emotional stress, tension, mental depression, anxiety, and fear may also result in psychosomatic sterility. This condition is generally temporary and can be corrected by psychotherapy
Causes of female infertility
Female Sterility Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Female infertility due to physical disability
Female infertility may be due to physical defects, physical debility, and functional faults. Sterility due to physical debility can result from poor health as a consequence of certain acute or chronic diseases. Complaints like gonorrhoea, syphilis, and inflammation of the fallopian tubes also come under this category.
Other causes of female infertility
Chronic anaemia, constipation, and leucorrhoea aggravate these conditions. Sterility may also be caused by loss of essential glands or organs of reproduction, or a decrease in their functions. Obesity or emaciation due either to dietetic errors or faulty metabolism are other factors which call contribute to female infertility.
Female infertility treatment
Female Sterility home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Female infertility treatment using Banyan Roots
The tender roots of the banyan tree are one of the valuable remedies found beneficial in the treatment of female sterility where there are no organic defect or congenital deformities. These roots should be dried in the shade and finely powdered. About twenty grams of this powder should be mixed with milk, which should be five times the weight of this powder, and taken at night for three consecutive nights after the monthly periods are over. When this remedy is administered, no other food should be eaten for a short while thereafter. This remedy should be repeated after the completion of the menstrual cycle every month till conception takes place.
Female sterility treatment using Jambul Leaves
An infusion of the fresh tender leaves of black berry fruit is an excellent remedy for sterility or miscarriage due to an ovarian or endometrium functional disorder. The infusion can be prepared by pouring 250 ml of boiling water over 20 gm of fresh black berry leaves, and allowing it to steep for two hours. The infusion may be taken with either two teaspoons of honey or 200 ml of buttermilk.
Female infertility treatment using Winter Cherry
The herb winter cherry is another valuable remedy found helpful in sterility. The herb should be powdered and six grams of this powder should be taken with one cup of milk for five to six nights after menstruation.
Female sterility treatment using Nutrients
Certain nutrients, especially vitamins C and E, and zinc, have been found helpful in some cases of sterility. A woman who is unable to conceive should take 1000 mg of vitamin C, 100 I.U. of vitamin E and 30 mg of zinc daily.
Infertility Diet
Seeds, nuts, curd and cottage cheese.
Physical debility and functional faults of organic nature can be cured by simple and effective methods of natural treatment, of which optimum nutrition is an essential part. Fasting is the best remedy for the treatment of disorders resulting from toxins in the system. A short fast of two or three day should be undertaken at regular intervals by women who are unable to bear children. Diet is an important factor in the treatment of infertility. It should contain seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits. These foods should be supplemented with milk, vegetable oils, and honey. Curd and cottage cheese are also recommended. About seventy to eighty per cent of the diet should consist of foods in their natural uncooked state, because cooking destroys much of the nutritional value of most foods. Sprouting is an excellent way of consuming seeds, beans, and grains in their raw form, as in the process of sprouting, the nutritional value is multiplied, new vitamins are created and the protein quality is improved.
Food to be avoided
Excessive fat, spicy foods, strong tea, coffee, white sugar, white flour, refined cereals, flesh foods, greasy or fried foods should all be avoided.
Other female infertilty treatment
Warm-water enema
The bowels should be cleansed by a warm-water enema during the period of fasting and afterwards when necessary. This will have a beneficial effect not only on the digestive system but also on the surrounding organs of the urinary and genital system.
Certain Yogasanas which are said to tone up the gonads or ovaries should also be practised regularly for overcoming female sterility. These asanas are sarvangasana, matsyasana, ardhamatsyendrasana, paschimottanasana and shalabhasana. All these measures, along with clean habits, proper rest, and relaxation will go a long way in overcoming female sterility.
Mud packs and cold-water treatments
Other helpful measures in overcoming female sterility are mud packs and cold-water treatments like a hip bath and wet girdle pack. These treatments greatly improve internal circulation in the genital organs and relieve them of all kinds of inflammation and other abnormalities. Mud packs may be applied to the abdomen and sexual organs. The cold hip bath should be taken for ten minutes at a water temperature of 10degree C-18.3 degree C. For a wet girdle pack, a thin underwear wrung in cold water should be worn. Over this, a thick, dry cotton or woollen underwear should be worn. All cold treatments should be suspended during menstruation.


As a result of the 2010 Public Health Summit, the Central Michigan District Health Department created the Together We Can Health Improvement Council, which brings together stakeholders from across the region from human service agencies, media, local government, K-12 education, colleges and universities, and hospital systems. Working groups were also created within each county in the region.
In April 2011, the Central Michigan District Health Department hosted a second public health summit. During the summit, participants were updated on the new County Health Rankings and also participated in a brainstorming session to think about activities to address each priority area. Suggestions from the 2011 summit were vetted against evidence-based recommendations using the What Works for Health website, CDC's The Community Guide, and Healthy People 2020 recommendations. The information gathered was presented to the Together We Can Health Improvement Council, and the group discussed and came to consensus on strategies to include in the plan. Final strategy selections appear in their Community Health Assessment and Improvement Plan. "Champions" have been selected to lead each of the eight identified strategies, and currently work groups in all six counties are working on implementing policies, programs and systems changes.
Meanwhile, the County Health Rankings call to action has generated a number of low cost, innovative initiatives, many of them springing from the communities themselves. For example, the area enjoys a strong outdoorsman/outdoorswomen culture that includes hunting and fishing, and numerous natural resources. Struck by the irony that people were going hungry in the midst of so many lakes, woods, and hunting areas, one of the health department interns organized an ice fishing tournament, where anglers caught and cleaned fish, then donated them to the local food pantry. This coming year, experienced anglers will pair up with novices and teach them how to fish to feed themselves and their families.
As another example, the health department hosted the first 5K event to promote physical activity and raise funds. They plan to create annual 5K events in each county in the six county area district.
The health department has also been partnering with local law enforcement across the district to create permanent prescription drop boxes.

The idea that a for-profit institution might create an affiliated nonprofit as a shell simply for marketing purposes, to reach an important market segment, or to appeal to a demographic that it might not get as successfully on its own? How shocking, how awful, how dastardly, and how to-be-expected! But what is particularly galling is that, once again, the victims of the abuse of charity status are veterans. The NPQ Newswire has touched on this topic before, with increasing outrage that somehow no one is taking a special look at ensuring that the legitimate, high quality veterans' organizations don't get their work and reputations tarnished by people who seem drawn, like moths to a flame, to playing fast and loose with veterans' charities.
In this case, both the Associated Press and Stars and Stripes are reporting that the Student Veterans Association (SVA) has suspended chapters at 40 for-profit colleges, alleging that the colleges set them up as "shell organizations to help them appeal to veteran students who carry lucrative government tuition benefits." AP says that the "essentially fake SVA chapters" help the schools get onto lists of "military friendly" or "veterans friendly" colleges. According to SVA, some of these fraudulent chapters had contacts who were school employees, not student veterans, and websites that simply linked to the schools' sites. The for-profit schools want veterans as students not just for the tuition benefits, but because G.I. Bill payments are excluded from the 90-10 rule, which requires that colleges get no less than 10 percent of their revenue from non-federal sources. Steve Gunderson, the president and CEO of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU)—the former CEO of the Council on Foundations who took over the for-profit college association this past January—expressed surprise about the SVA charges.
Let's not minimize the challenges of student veterans and why legitimate organizations—not shams—are needed to help them. Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, held a meeting at Mankato State University to better understand the challenges of student veterans and learned of plenty, such as delays in the VA's issuance of checks, problems in getting private employers and schools to recognize and credit vets for experience and skills gained in the armed forces, and difficulties in getting the VA to communicate and share information with schools. Delays with the VA are expected to get worse as the U.S. military presence in both Afghanistan and Iraq winds down.


All the partying takes its toll on even the best of us. While some are busy detoxing themselves with food bans there are other resolutions that will really see you through the year. Luckily, when it comes to fashion detoxing, the simple rule is to take the minimalistic approach and press the delete button on your blingy outfits.
Take a cue from Celine who has redefined Zen fashion mixing minimalism with femininity. Think clean cut lines and sharp structured silhouettes with minimal accessories.
Now would be a good time to invest in a tailored jacket along with tapered cropped pants. Add your classic white shirt to it to nail the trend. To keep your look clean and fresh with strict silhouettes; don't be scared to play with texture such as leather.
Remember to follow a no accessories policy while keeping your heels sky high and you are on route to perfecting to detox fashion.

Council is concerned about the impact gambling has on the most vulnerable members of our community.
More than $111.9 million was lost on poker machines in Monash in the 2017/18 financial year, the fifth highest amount of losses in any Victorian council area. To see the statewide figures, visit the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation website.
We are concerned about the harm caused by poker machines, particularly as the machines are concentrated in areas of Monash (such as Clayton and Chadstone) where the highest proportion of financially-disadvantaged residents live.

From April to November 2014, Monash Council initiated and led the Enough Pokies campaign with 2014 Mayor Geoff Lake the campaign spokesperson.
Enough Pokies was a state-wide media and public awareness campaign executed in the lead-up to the November 2014 Victorian State Government election.
Enough Pokies was supported by an unprecedented number of organisations with more than 70 Victorian Councils, the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV), the Salvation Army, Dr Charles Livingstone (a leading academic in critical gambling studies at Monash University) and Tim Costello (World Vision CEO) joining the campaign.
The Enough Pokies campaign focused on exposing the gambling industry's targeted concentration of poker machines within disadvantaged communities across Victoria and calling on the major political parties to undertake major reform to poker machine licensing.
Enough Pokies was implemented at a national, state and local level over a period of seven weeks in the lead-up to the Victorian State Election through a state-wide media campaign and community forums.

In March 2015, two research reports were released by the Enough Pokies campaign. These reports are available on the Municipal Association of Victoria website.
In 2013, Council strongly opposed a proposal by L'unico Hotel in Clayton to increase its number of poker machines. Council was concerned that Clayton already had more poker machines than the average Melbourne suburb.
Council opposed the hotel's proposal at hearings before the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Unfortunately, both bodies decided to approve the hotel's application. More information is available in this media release.
In 2013, Monash commissioned a research project examining the impacts of problem gambling within the City of Monash in 2012/13. The executive summary of this research is called 'A well hidden issue' - Monash Gambling 2013 Report (pdf, 306KB). Key findings of the research have provided Council with a platform to respond to, and prevent harm from gambling, within the community.

Massive fish fraud results in huge penalty for fishermen
By David Abel Globe Staff,November 20, 2017, 9:20 p.m.
A fisherman unloaded a basket full of fish last spring off a boat owned by Carlos Rafael.Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff/File
In an unprecedented punishment, federal regulators Monday ordered scores of commercial fishermen in Massachusetts to return their vessels to shore after the owner of many of the boats, a New Bedford fishing mogul known as "The Codfather," failed to account for the fish they caught and orchestrated a massive fraud.
The move immediately prohibits 60 permit holders, including 22 active vessels, from going back to sea until at least the start of the new fishing season in May.
Most of the vessels were operated by Carlos Rafael, the magnate who was recently convicted of one of the nation's largest violations of fishing regulations.
The penalties could also cost dozens of fishermen their jobs and cause significant economic losses for the icehouses, fuel companies, and other businesses that supply the boats.
The decision by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration affects what is known as Northeast Fishery Sector Nine, one of 19 such federally permitted cooperatives in the region that share fishing quotas. This year, the group had been given a quota of 20 million pounds — or 10 percent — of the region's cod, haddock, flounder, and other bottom-dwelling species.
In a letter to the group, John Bullard, NOAA's regional administrator, accused its staff of failing to carry out its most basic duties.
"Accurate reporting, internal accountability, and organizational integrity are core principles of the sector system," Bullard wrote. The group "has failed its primary responsibility of accurately reporting and tracking its catch and has taken only minimal, insufficient steps to ensure accurate reporting and compliance."
Rafael, who was sentenced in September to nearly four years in prison for tax evasion and flouting fishing quotas, served as the sector's president until last May.
Sector officials said they were "blindsided" by NOAA's actions, noting that they have appointed a new board of directors, created a new enforcement committee to address the fraud, and met last month with NOAA officials to discuss ways to make amends.
"We're very upset about this, because we want to do the right thing," said Virginia Martins, who succeeded Rafael as sector president.
Martins estimated that the punishment will cost about 85 fishermen their jobs. Most of them fish out of New Bedford.
"It's crazy to do this, especially at Thanksgiving," Martins said. "This is so unfair, so hurtful. How can you do this to men who are willing to sacrifice their lives to make a living? What else are they going to do? We can't afford to have these boats tied up."
In a statement, Rafael's wife, Connie, a part-owner of some of the boats, said she hoped there might be a way to overturn the federal order.
"We are hopeful that the legal system will provide this community with a meaningful opportunity to review this unexpected and unilateral decision by NOAA, so that hard-working families are not needlessly harmed during this holiday season," she said.
Last month, a federal judge in Boston ordered Rafael to forfeit his interest in four vessels and their permits, which have been valued at nearly $2.3 million.
Rafael, 65, who owns one of the nation's largest groundfish fishing fleets, is also facing potential further penalties from ongoing civil proceedings by NOAA. That action could result in the government confiscating his remaining vessels.
Environmental advocates, who have pressed NOAA to take action against the cooperative, said stiff penalties were crucial to preserving a system that relies on fishermen's honesty to report accurate counts.
Without such tallies, protecting vulnerable species in the region, such as cod, would be difficult, advocates say. The cod population has fallen to a historic low — about 6 percent of the level needed to sustain a healthy fishery, according to recent surveys.
"From all accounts, Sector Nine was complicit in Rafael's criminal behavior and has still not complied with its own sector rules," said Peter Shelley, senior counsel at the Conservation Law Foundation in Boston. "Anything they do is inherently suspect. Their collective behavior has undermined the whole sector system.
"Nothing in their behavior or attitudes either before Rafael was found out, or after, warrants any sympathy," he said.
Others questioned why it took NOAA so long to act.
John Pappalardo, CEO of the Cape Cod Fishermen's Alliance, which operates its own sector, said the agency's delay had "created serious credibility questions within the fishing community."
"This is a step that had to be taken to try to rebuild trust within the industry, and send the message that the government takes this seriously," he said.
In a telephone interview, Bullard said the agency decided to wait to act after Rafael was sentenced. The order then had to go through an approval process before it could be issued.
Bullard acknowledged that the penalties will hurt some fishermen's livelihoods. But he noted that the cooperative has still not provided a count of how many fish went unreported to federal regulators.
"I'm sure there will be an economic impact from this, but that's something the sector should have thought about when they were failing to do their job," Bullard said.
Until the cooperative presents a viable plan for reform and repays its debts for the uncounted fish, its vessels won't be allowed to sail, Bullard said.
In New Bedford, city officials said they understood the need for federal officials to send a message but are worried about the consequences.
Mayor Jonathan F. Mitchell said he would have preferred that the agency had joined a "global settlement" that would have consolidated the penalties against Rafael in one ruling.
"The effect of not doing that has been to cause uncertainty with those who depend on the catch," he said.
As a result, crew members who were not complicit in Rafael's illegal enterprise will be out of work and dozens of businesses — from net menders to hardware stores and settlement houses that help fishermen with their accounting — will be affected.
"That hurts this time of year, especially when crews try to bring in more fish for the holiday market and bring home Christmas presents," the mayor said.

A Personal Interest Turned Lifelong Career: An Interview With Professor Brad Inwood
As an undergraduate, Professor Brad Inwood read the Stoics only by chance, thanks to an obscure anthology which had snippets from Epictetus.

Q: Invoking/Multithreading help wanted I have done my research but I am new to coding so I would like some help on how to implement the invoke on a control. I will provide my code below. For some reason it don't matter what you put in boxes it will still log you in and show you the mainmenu too
Basically I would like someone to explain how you would go about doing this to me. I am not wanting no free code handouts or anything I do want step by step instructions.
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork
    If username.Text = "" Or password.Text = "" Then
        MsgBox("Please enter a Username and Password")
    Else
        'Connect to Database
        Dim connect As New MySqlConnection("server=server;user id=root;Password=root;database=member")

        connect.Open()

        'SQL Query to Get the Details

        Dim myAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter
        Dim sqlquery = "Select * From User where username = '" + username.Text + "' And password = '" + password.Text + "'"
        Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand
        myCommand.Connection = connect
        myCommand.CommandText = sqlquery

        'Starting The Query
        myAdapter.SelectCommand = myCommand
        Dim mydata As MySqlDataReader
        mydata = myCommand.ExecuteReader

        'To check the Username and password and to validate the login
        If mydata.HasRows = 0 Then
            BonfireAlertBox2.Visible = True
        Else

        End If

    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Backgroundworker1_RunWorkerCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted

MSDN is your friend.
BackgroundWorker.RunWorkerCompleted documentation

Occurs when the background operation has completed, has been canceled, or has raised an exception.

This means that the RunWorkerCompleted event will run once the background work is complete - no matter if it completes normally, by throwing an exception, cancelled by the user, or your basement floods.

Parameterize your sql queries to protect against Sql Injection Attacks.

SqlDataReader.HasRows returns a Boolean, not an Integer.
Zero is False, so If mydata.HasRows = 0 Then is basically If mydata.HasRows = False Then.
Is this what you intended?

To learn more about FCE - LOSAP Investment Management Contact Us.
A LOSAP, or Length of Service Awards Program, is a program similar to a defined benefit retirement plan that is intended to assist municipalities in recruiting, retaining and rewarding volunteer firefighters and other emergency personnel. LOSAPs are typically overseen by a board of trustees that it typically comprised of fire commissioners and political officials, and supported by administrative personnel employed by the municipality.
LOSAP benefits are typically determined through a point structure, with points awarded to each firefighter for each fire alarm they respond to. LOSAPs typically provide for benefits to be paid upon retirement at a pre-defined age, or disability or death.
LOSAP funding is determined by an actuary, whose function it is to calculate the amount that would be required to pay the expected benefits to the current firefighters, depending on their respective ages and the amount of LOSAP points that have been awarded to them. A long term return expectation is a very important factor in determining the required contribution, and this should be determined through a careful analysis of long term returns for various asset classes, including stocks, bonds and cash, and by setting a reasonable expectation for inflation.
An independent investment manager plays an important role, by working hand in hand with the actuary and with the trustees to understand the goals and risk constraints of the LOSAP, and by directing the investment of the portfolio in a way that is intended to maximize the probability of the LOSAP being able to meet its benefit obligations over time.
FCE Group serves as the investment manager for LOSAPS in several New York-area municipalities. We have forged successful relationships with our LOSAP clientele by identifying several critical areas in which their current asset managers are not up to par: the need for consistent performance with controlled risk, low expenses, independent and unbiased advice, and a solid service infrastructure. Because of our multi-year experience with LOSAPs, we have created an efficient service infrastructure that ensures seamless coordination between all parties involved in LOSAP management: plan trustees, plan actuaries, banking institutions, independent accountants, and the LOSAP's own professional staff. We provide coordination of payments and contributions, quarterly review of investments, drafting and monitoring of investment policy guidelines, and coordination with other parties on fulfilling other LOSAP requirements.
A customized LOSAP Investment Policy Statement (IPS) which outlines the risk and return preferences for each plan that specifies the roles and responsibilities of the parties, and that sets forth the return expectations, risk and liquidity constraints, diversification parameters, any investment restrictions, and any unique circumstances that apply.
Statistical modeling to determine the recommended asset allocation for the LOSAP portfolio, which is refreshed each year based on the annual updated actuarial report.
A specially designed LOSAP quarterly reporting package that concisely and straightforwardly shows the portfolio holdings, portfolio performance, and that demonstrates the portfolio's compliance with investment policy guidelines, clearly noting any exceptions.
FCE Group is well prepared to meet the needs of your LOSAP's actuaries, village trustees, board of trustees, and fire commissioners. Please get in touch with us to learn how we can assist you in making your LOSAP plan successful.
FCE Group is an independent registered investment advisory firm, in operation since 1981.

The bioinformatics certificate program meets the growing demand for life science professionals who are fluent in this cross-cutting discipline.
Students benefit from the qualifications of Hood's excellent faculty and the experience of adjunct professors from the region's top R&D and biotech firms and federal and private laboratories. Classes are small, encouraging individual attention and collaboration. Courses are taught in the evening to accommodate the working professional.
Increasingly, bioinformatics is the engine by which researchers process, analyze and interpret the vast quantities of data generated every day in labs in the region, across the nation and around the globe. Hood's program equips students to manage and configure bioinformatics data sets; manipulate and format bioinformatics for downstream analysis; and select and apply tools related to genomics, structural biology and proteomics. Students learn to conduct statistical analyses for bioinformatics problems and demonstrate skills for effective communication in the field.
Students in the 15-credit program benefit from the qualifications of Hood's excellent faculty and the experience of adjunct professors from the region's top R&D and biotech firms and federal and private laboratories.
Classes are small, encouraging individual attention and collaboration. Courses are taught in the evening to accommodate the working professional.
This program is designed for students who have a background in biotechnology, biomedical science or the life sciences. Application requirements include one or the following: acceptance into the Biomedical Sciences program at Hood College; a completed Master's degree (MA or MSc) in a biology-related field; or a completed undergraduate degree in a related field (BA or BSc) with a GPA of 2.75 or higher. Undergraduate coursework must include: microbiology, organic chemistry, pre-calculus, upper level genetics (equivalent to Hood's BIOL 316) and cell biology (equivalent to Hood's BIOL 339).
Complete and submit the graduate school application. Request one copy of official transcripts from each institution of higher education attended and submit an essay that describes your future goals and relevant work experience. All documents should be sent directly to the graduate school.
A minimum 2.75 undergraduate GPA is required for admission to the graduate school.
Students can complete the Bioinformatics Certificate program coursework in approximately two to three years depending on the pace of coursework that they choose. By following these two steps, students can plan on completing the program requirements at a pace that meets their professional needs.
Look up the Bioinformatics program requirements, course descriptions and Graduate School policies and procedures in the College Catalog.
Students should consult their adviser and the course schedule each semester to determine how they will fulfill the program requirements; the program director contact information is located at the bottom of the Bioinformatics homepage and students' academic advisers are indicated on their letters of admission. These faculty members can assist in planning a program of study that is based on a student's professional and career goals. All students must consult with their adviser before signing up for any final research project.


people of the internet, i have a problem. if you follow me on instagram, you know that i cleaned out and re-organized my closet earlier this week. it was kind of long over-due, so it's a good thing i finally got around to doing it.
anyways, i discovered that 90% of my tees are multiples. i knew i liked multiples, but not like this. below you will see seven different piles of tees. each pile is the same style, in different colors. and the number is how many of each of them i have. OH MY GOSH.
it's madness, i tell you. madness. once i discovered this, i gave myself a little pep talk about learning to enjoy variety and buying just ONE color of a certain tee. we'll see how long that lasts.
I'm your newest follower. Love your blog!! So glad I found it.
I feel like I have the same 'closet problem' you do! I'm about to clean out my closest when I rearrange everything for my fall wardrobe. It'll be interesting what I find!
You're not alone! Especially with many plain t-shirts, they go perfectly with scarves!
I agree, I am not great at matching patterns, so plain is good for me.
I do the exact same thing! But my multiples are very intentional- I'm so picky with my clothes that when I find something I love, I take it in every color and run!
I can't believe you have so many tees!
Oooh, I have a blog post idea for you – since you love these t-shirts so much, maybe tell us which kind/style they are, and why you love them so?! I love t-shirts, but I find that sometimes that don't launder well, or are too short. 🙂 Love your blog!
I wear all colors of tees with scarfs so they can be dressed up. I have also found that if I like a shirt I will buy several colors. It is very difficult to find ones that you like so yes, I buy mulitples too!
oh man this is hilarious!
it's funny how we gravitate to the same style of something once we find what we really like. I've been trying to make it a point to buy something other than black!!!
Do you have a favorite white t-shirt? I'm always looking for the best ones that don't wear out too quickly!
I have the same problem. But once I find something that works, why not buy multiple? I have a few of the same shirt from old navy…and then I noticed I hvae two of the same color.
Hey, when you find a good shirt, it just makes sense to buy multiple colors.
haha not really but that's exactly my thought process! oh well. i'm sure it will continue to happen.
ugh I have the same problem..I'm a sweater hoarder mainly.
They are so useful though!!!
Ha, I definitely do that too. I think I have six or seven of the same tanktop from Old Navy. If you find one that fits well, why not!
I do the same thing. My fiance took me shopping on Sunday and I caught myself doing it there as well.
I'm sorry, but I totally support you in this habbit. If you find a shirt that fits you well, doesn't shrink, etc. I would get it in every color!
My sister does that, too. With her clothes and her kids lol.
This post made me laugh! I have 4 of the same vintage tee from Old Navy too (your second pile on the top row). I can't blame you, they are great! But this i funny.
I dunno, I feel like if you find a good tee you should totally have it in different colors… I've only bought one of something and then totally regretted it when it gets worn out and they no longer make it!
I do this, too! But I always tell myself that if something fits, you should buy it in every color!
My poor Momma does that too. If she finds something she likes she will buy it in every color. I have a totally different issue. I'm drawn to bright colors and bold prints which do not interchange with other items well! I've tried to stick to buying more neutral things but so far, no luck!
Haha, I have multiples of the exact same t's!! Can't go wrong with a classic v-neck! Plus with all your cute accessorizing I'm sure you make them all look fabulously different!
Organizing your closet is so so revealing. I did mine about a month ago and felt so great after the purge. And somehow now I feel like I have more clothes because everything in there is something that I wear.
I have this probably with v-necks!! Most are from Target, but then I have a bunch more. WHY?!
I always have two each of white, black and grey v-necks and then some scoop necks in that color too. I wear other colors too, but those are the majority. Target and Old Navy are my favorite place for those.
Is it wrong that when I read the title of this blog I immediately started singing Eminem??
I am the exact same way Lauren! When you find a shirt you love, there's absolutely no reason not to buy it in a few different colors. For example, I own 5 of those Ralph Lauren Sport v-necks because they were on mega-sale one weekend and the material is so soft and comfortable!!
I'm the same way. My husband makes fun of me, but oh well. If I like it, why not?! 🙂 I know it will get used and it's better to have things you like than a bunch of variety and things you only feel "meh" about…right?
I really thought I was the only one who had this problem. What a relief that it isn't just me! Of course, I find that I'll buy several colors and then end up wearing the same one over and over again because, as it turns out, that was the color I liked best.
I am so glad there's others like me out there. If I love something, I try to pick it up in different colors too.


Would you throw one person in front of a runaway trolley in order to save two people? How about half a million to save a million? Those are the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office's estimates of how many would be harmed and how many helped in the US by a minimum wage hike from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour. Specifically, it would lead to the loss of about half a million jobs, but lift about a million people over the poverty line, currently set at $24,100 a year for a family of four. Is it worth it?
We can try to weigh the pros and cons of such a trade-off, the increased hardships of those who become unemployed versus the reduced hardships of those for whom life will no longer be as much of a struggle. In the classic trolley problem, though, most people balk at throwing people on the tracks, even if it's to save more lives further down the road. When it's up close and personal, we recognize that other people's lives are not ours to play with.
And anyway, when it comes to helping the needy, there could hardly be a less efficient way of doing so, since many of those who earn minimum wage are second or third household earners who are not even a little bit poor. Why not let the market decide how much each person's labour is worth at any given time, and target our assistance more specifically to those who really need it?
