No one ever wants to file a medical malpractice suit. In the case of any emergency or routine care, we would all love to think that we are in good hands with our physicians and surgeons. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Whether willfully or not, medical professionals sometimes act negligently and are subject to medical malpractice claims. A tragic case here in Las Vegas highlights what can happen and how a personal injury lawyer can help.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Connie Mulick, wife of the late Edward Mulick, filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the urologist who treated her husband before his death.
According to Mrs. Mulick's suit, Edward Mulick was under Doctor's care in the emergency room at St. Rose Dominican Hospital and that, during care, "several catheters" were used. Then, later, a perforation was found in his bladder – presumably caused by a catheter. The cause of death was ruled as being due to complications associated with the bladder perforation, and Mrs. Mulick's suit places blame for this squarely on the Doctor.
And this is not the first time the urologist has been under scrutiny for medical malpractice. Before the current suit against him, the Doctor briefly had his medical license suspended because he had been reusing single-use needle guides without concern for warning labels and without informing his patients that he was not using new needle guides.
If you suspect that you or someone you love has been the victim of medical malpractice, your first step should be to call a qualified personal injury lawyer in Las Vegas. Consulting with experts in the laws pertaining to these cases will set you in good stead to get the compensation that you deserve.
That said, though it may be obvious to you – as it likely is obvious to Mrs. Mulick – that a medical professional acted negligently, this is a tort law case, and thus the burden of proving negligence is on you. You must be able to prove that the physician, surgeon, or other medical professional in charge of your loved one showed negligence, and that often means gathering evidence as quickly as possible.
In the case of medical malpractice suits, that evidence may be scarring or side effects after a procedure. It may also be found in the documents and reports pertaining to the patient's care leading up to death, as in Edward Mulick's case. In any case, though, a good Las Vegas personal injury attorney can counsel you on the proper steps to take to get compensation for medical bills, funeral bills, loss of wages, and/or pain and suffering.
On that note, not all medical malpractice cases will go to court. Often, the insurance company for the hospital or clinic where you or your loved one was treated will offer to settle with you to avoid further costs and court fees. With the right personal injury lawyer in Las Vegas, you'll be more likely to come to a settlement agreement that is fair to you and gets you the compensation you deserve.
If you have questions about medical malpractice and/or personal injury law, call a qualified attorney in Las Vegas today for a consultation.

El Congreso del Estado de Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave es el órgano depositario del poder legislativo del estado de Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave y, por lo tanto, el órgano creador de las leyes estatales que lo rigen. Está conformado por cincuenta diputados, treinta electos por el principio de mayoría relativa y veinte por representación proporcional.

Historia
Veracruz fue estado libre y soberano de México desde la Constitución Federal de 1824. Su congreso estatal se erigió el 9 de mayo de 1824 y su primera legislatura funcionó entre ese mes y junio de 1825, cuando se publicó la primera constitución política. Además de esta función, el Congreso Constituyente cumplió con las labores de «establecer la integración del nuevo estado y los poderes estatales» y nombrar al primer gobernador, Manuel Rincón. Esa primera carta magna dividía el poder legislativo en dos cámaras, una de diputados y otra de senadores, cuyos integrantes eran elegidos popularmente y duraban dos años en el cargo. Sus funciones también abarcaban designar a los titulares de los otros dos poderes. La constitución de 1848 determinaba que serían doce los diputados propietarios y seis los suplentes, elegidos popularmente, y cuyas legislaturas se renovarían por mitad cada dos años.

Legislaturas

Funciones
De acuerdo a la Ley Orgánica del Poder Legislativo, las funciones del Congreso son, principalmente, «aprobar, reformar y abolir las leyes o decretos» y dar «interpretación auténtica» a estas leyes o decretos. Los dos periodos ordinarios de sesiones que se realizan, el primero, del 5 de noviembre al 31 de enero y, el segundo, del 2 de mayo al 31 de julio.

Composición
Se conforma de cincuenta diputados, treinta de los cuales son elegidos por el principio de mayoría relativa, uno por cada distrito en que se divide la entidad. El resto son nombrados por el principio de representación proporcional. La gestión inicia el 5 de noviembre del año de la elección y tiene una duración de tres años, con posibilidad de reelección hasta por cuatro periodos. Su sede es el Palacio Legislativo de Veracruz, ubicado en la capital del estado, Xalapa-Enríquez. Por otra parte, cuenta con una mesa directiva, encargada de conducir las sesiones, una junta de coordinación política, responsable de «vigilar el óptimo ejercicio de las funciones legislativas, políticas y administrativas», y una junta de trabajos legislativos, que establece la agenda legislativa.

El Congreso cuenta con cuarenta comisiones permanentes, conformadas por los diputados, y encargadas del análisis de las iniciativas de ley que les sean turnadas por la mesa directiva del Congreso. Las elecciones más recientes se celebraron el 1 de julio de 2018, en las que la alianza entre Morena, el Partido del Trabajo (PT) y el Partido Encuentro Social (PES), alcanzó veinte escaños, seguidos del Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) y Movimiento Ciudadano (MC) con diez curules de entre los repartidos por el principio de mayoría relativa.

En la LXV Legislatura están representados siete grupos parlamentarios: Morena (26), PAN (12), Mixto PRI-Partido Verde Ecologista de México (5), Mixto MC-PRD (3) y Mixto del Lado Correcto de la Historia (2).

Distritos electorales
Para la elección de diputados de mayoría relativa del Congreso del Estado de Veracruz, la entidad se divide en 30 distritos electorales.

Q: How do I use pointers in combination with getc? I have a function getNum(), which gets a number from file and returns it. When I go back into getNum() I have lost the pointer and it starts at the begging of the file again. I'm wondering How do I get the location of where getc is and then go back to that place. I couldn't find how to do this in the manual or in forums. Thank you.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int getNum();
int getLine();
int getMatrix();

main() {
int num;
int two;
num = getNum();
printf("%d\n", num);
two = getNum();
printf("%d\n", two);

}

int getNum() {
  FILE *infile;
    infile = fopen("matrix.txt","r");
  int c;
  double value = 0;

  while ((c=getc(infile)) != '\n') {
    if(c==32){
      if(value != 0){
        return(value);
      }
      //otherwise keep getting characters
    }
    else if ((c<=47)||(c>=58)){
      printf("incorrect number input %d\n", c);
      exit(1);
    }
    else {
      value = (10*value) + c - '0';
    }
  }
  return(value);
}

A: The reason is that you reopen the file each time you execute getNum. When you open a file for reading, it starts at the start of the file. Instead open it just once.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  ...
  FILE *infile;
  ...
  infile = fopen("matrix.txt","r");
  ...
  getNum(infile)
  ...
  fclose(infile);
  return 0;
}

int getNum(File *infile)
{
  // Same as before, just no file opening.
}

A: You re-open the File each time you Call getNum, so naturally you are back at the start.
Instead open the file in your main and pass the FILE * to getNum().

A: You're opening the file anew with each function call. The newly opened file begins scanning from the beginning.
An alternative would be to open the file once, outside getNum(). You could pass the FILE* to getNum() as an argument.
Also, you're not closing the file. Use fclose() to close the file after all the calls to getNum().

A: Something like:
int getNum( FILE* fp );
...

int n;
FILE* file = fopen( "file.txt" );
assert( file );
do {
    n = getNum( file );
    /* ... */
}
while ( n != -1 ); /* or something */
fclose( file );

Editor's Note: See also, FEDERAL RULEMAKING: OMB Should Work with Agencies to Improve Congressional Review Act Compliance during and at the End of Presidents' Terms.
In the April 2015 report on regulatory guidance, GAO made eleven recommendations to USDA, Education, HHS, and DOL to ensure adherence to OMB requirements and applicable elements of internal controls. Three of these recommendations to HHS remain open: 1) to develop written procedures for the approval of significant guidance, 2) strengthen application of internal controls over guidance processes, and 3) improve its website.
For more information about the US-Canada RCC, see here and here (page 3).
The new ACUS recommendation—which covers policy statements and may also be helpful for interpretive rules—sets forth a series of measures to foster flexibility in the face of these challenges. Some of the measures are low-cost and should be adopted universally, like making sure that policy statements include a disclaimer of binding status on the public, and ensuring that, if some agency employees are bound to follow a policy statement, other higher-level employees are authorized to depart from it.

Migrating operating system instances across distinct physical hosts is a useful tool for administrators of data centers and clusters: It allows a clean separation between hardware and software, and facilitates fault management, load balancing, and low-level system maintenance. By carrying out the majority of migration while OSes continue to run, we achieve impressive performance with minimal service downtimes; we demonstrate the migration of entire OS instances on a commodity cluster, recording service downtimes as low as 60ms. We show that that our performance is sufficient to make live migration a practical tool even for servers running interactive loads. In this paper we consider the design options for migrating OSes running services with liveness constraints, focusing on data center and cluster environments. We introduce and analyze the concept of writable working set, and present the design, implementation and evaluation of highperformance OS migration built on top of the Xen VMM. 1

I truly love this app, i've had it since Voodoo and their team came out with it. Between the colors and the obstacles it's addicting !! But i just recently have been having issues with the game glitching rather i'm on or off wifi. I have the app updated and everything, but the glitching is annoying.
I know that F2P games are going to have ads. I have tons of F2P games. I'm okay with that. But, this game pushes it. For a game where you're sometimes dead in a matter of seconds, having to sit through an ad every 2-3 games is way too much. At least let me play 3 or 4 minutes between ads. It's a bummer because the game itself is fun.
I think it's a nice game it is very addictive for me..but maybe cut out the ads?They is an ad every time I die or splat or whatever.Over all good game.
If you like to watch ads this game is for you!
Ads are super lame. I'm three levels in and already want to quit. Charge .99 and get rid of the ads!!
So this game is addictive and fun to play, but when u keep dying and start getting annoyed and frustrated, it just goes downhill from there. After about an hour of playing this game I got so frustrated I couldn't pass anymore levels, and because of that I got more frustrated.
Okay here's the tea, to get like a new icon or whatever it says you have to play it for 5 days in a row, I've played this game for MORE than 5 days but it never says that I've even played if for one day. It says, play helix jump for 5 days. It literally says 0/5 every single day. Crappy game much? Also the adds are insane!!! Voodoo always has the worst adds ever and it is sooo annoying. I would not recommend this game to anybody. For sure deleting it rn.
I hate this game because it lags and I can't play it so yah bye.
this game is soooooo fun. i think you should get it 100%. but there are so many ads that you get more ads than the actual game. i get the whole money part of it but it makes me really frustrated when an ad pops up that i have seen like 25 times. i think you should limit the ads. i hope this helps with your game.

The Greenwood Players are once again caught up in rehearsals for their Spring production of Ray Cooney's "Caught in the Net"' a sequel to "Run for Your Wife", performed by the Players in 1988. "Caught in the Net" finds bigamist John Smith, an unassuming, hard working London taxi driver, still trying to keep his two families apart in different parts of London; Wimbledon and Streatham. Both spouses and children are blissfully unaware of each other until his teenage son with wife, Barbara, and his daughter with wife, Mary, meet on the internet. Teenagers Gavin and Vicki discover that they have so much in common, taxi driving father, same surname and age, that they want to meet in person. Keeping the teens apart plunges John into a whirlpool of hilarious improvisations and deceit. John's lodger and oldest friend, Stanley, could be a savior but he is about to go on holiday with his decrepit old mum, who only adds to the mayhem. As John struggles to hide the truth, the situation spirals out of control leaving him to juggle the outrageous truth!
Director, Jeffery Pocock, a veteran in the theatrical world, has brought together a stellar cast of new and returning Greenwood Players thespians to mount this funny, irreverent play. The role of taxi driver, John Smith, is played ably by, Mike Cook, with his wives Barbara and Mary being expertly handled by Carolyn Coloumbe and Bleu Rae, respectively. Recent additions to the Greenwood Players arsenal, Bliss Om Rae and Lexie Key play the lovelorn teenagers, Gavin and Vicki. Ryan Herbert and Nicole Rigby, round off this great cast as Stanley and his mum.
Will John succeed in keeping his secret safe or will his dual lives be exposed? Will Stanley's mother accept than she is not on holiday and will Gavin and Vicki ever meet face to face?

The Bosniaks (Bošnjaci/Бошњаци, feminine: Bošnjakinja/Бошњакиња) are South Slavic nation nd ethnic group, native in mainly Old Bosnia, tudey Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a significant minority in the other Balkans populations, especially in the neighboring Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia. Originate from medieval Bosnians or Bošnjani, Slavic that inhabited the then Bosnia. Medieval Bosniaks/Bosnians (called Dobri bošnjani = Good Bosnians) were of different faiths and spoke Bosnian language. Today Bosniaks are mostly Bosnian-speeking, and serve Latin alphabet and Cyrillic alphabet. Most modern Bosniaks make Muslim, while a smaller number agnostic and atheists. As nation belong to European, and Islamic civilization heritage.
"The inhabitants of Bosnia are composed of Bosniaks, a race of Sclavonian origin".
It is widesprwead in the all of Slavic languages, that -ak is a common suffix to words for masculine nouns forming; for example, it also found in the ethnonym of Poles (Polak) and Slovaks (Slovák). Consequently, "Bosniak" is logic equivalent to its non-ethnic counterpart "Bosnian" (which entered English around the same time via the Middle French, Bosnien): a native of Bosnia.
English-speakers frequently refer to Bosniaks as Bosnian Muslims. This term is associatet with inaccurate since not all Bosniaks profess Islam or practice the religion. Partly because of this, since the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Bosniak has replaced Muslim as an official ethnic term in part to avoid confusion with the religious term "Muslim" as an adherent of Islam. or simply as Bosnians, though the latter term can also denote all inhabitants of Bosnia and Herzegovina (regardless of ethnic origin) or apply to citizenship in the country.
Few million Bosniaks live in the Balkans, with an estimated additional million settled and living around the world. Ethnic cleansing and genocide during World War II (1939-1945) and the Bosnian War (1993–95) have had a tremendous effect on the territorial distribution of the population. Partially due to this, a significant Bosniaksdiaspora exists in a number of countries, including Bosnian Austrians, Germany, Bosnian Australians, Sweden, Turkey, Bosnian Canadians and the Bosnian Americans. Both within the Balkans region and throughout the world, Bosniaks are often noted for their unique culture, which has been influenced by both eastern and western civilizations and schools of thought over the course of their history.

Pic Playback: Boyz II Men warmed up Mother's Day at Baltimore's MECU Pavilion
May 14, 2019 NastyBreakdown 0 Pic Playback,
Boyz II Men took Baltimore's Inner Harbor by storm during Mother's Day Weekend. The group, who are currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of their multi-platinum, smash album "II", cemented their iconic status over the course of a 90-minute-long performance at the MECU Pavilion on Sunday.
Although this was an uncharacteristically cold and rainy May evening, that didn't stop long time fans and supporters from coming out to be serenaded by some good "ole fashion sangin".
The "Bad Boys" of R&B music 112 served as the opening act of this concert. Original members Slim and Mike hit the stage with pure fire, performing the remix to their debut single "Only You" before jamming out to the rest of their classic hits. "Peaches & Cream", "Cupid", "You Already Know", and "It's Over Now" had it feeling more like a 90's night club than a modern day concert.
To let the audience know that they are still relevant today, the decided to perform their new single entitled "Tonight", which blends their melodic voices with a 2019 dance beat. They closed out with arguably the biggest hit that they've been featured on, 1997's "I'll Be Missing You".
Amid applause from fans, the singers Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris appeared on a stage opening with their debut single, the New Jack Swing dance number "Motownphilly".
From the moment they hit the stage, BIIM proved they didn't come to play! Joined by a 4 piece band, they showcased all of the 90's style harmonies which they have been long celebrated.
The set was filled with hit after hit from their discography, which now include 13 albums. All of the songs that you would expect made a guest appearance and automatically took us all back to that time when R&B dominated the music scene. "Please Don't Go", "I'll Make Love To You", "4 Seasons of Loneliness" and even one of my personal favorites "Uhh Ahh"
As this was rightfully billed as a momma's day show, the band paid homage to all the moms in the audience, performing "A Song For Momma".
The show closed out with the songs that they considered the "Boyz II Men classics", including "On Bended Knee", "Water Runs Dry", and the commercial smash "End of The Road", which was the song that slingshot them to superstar status and 90's music mainstay.
By the end of the night their soulful voices warmed each and every attendee up from the outside in. If you decided to treat your mom out to this concert, we believe that you scored some extra points with her for this one.

Q: How to configure tomcat to redirect ip address We are using Tomcat 8.5. The site is hosted at https://foo.bar.com.
The site can be accessed by entering the IP address in the address bar https://111.111.111.111 ( of course the browser warn the user about certificate problem)
Is it possible to configure the Tomcat so that entering the IP redirects user to host. in this way entering the https://111.111.111.111 will redirect to https://foo.bar.com.

A: It would be very simple to write a Valve for this.
The tomcat 8 also ships with a rewrite valve, which sounds like something you are looking for.
But why should you do this? Normally nobody would like to use an IP address if you provide a Name via DNS.

A: You could do this if you find a certificate authority that provides a certificate for an IP address. However, despite never having tried this, I doubt that one exists - I'd rather expect them to explicitly be forbidden to do so, as IP addresses change and, quite frankly, nobody navigates to a website by IP address unless you're in a development system.
Development (or "in house") use is the key to your workaround here: If you're only working internally, not public facing, you can create (and self-sign) a certificate for both the DNS name and the IP, and accept it once.
If it's a (large) intranet, you might have an internal CA, where they may do this (but I doubt).
Naturally, this only works for internal purposes, nothing public-facing. But you wouldn't hand out your system's IP address to any customer anyway, right? That's exactly what DNS is for. Plus it allows clients to connect through IPV6.

Drug-induced Liver Injury With Skin Reactions
Drugs and Host Risk Factors, Clinical Phenotypes and Prognosis
Harshad Devarbhavi; Sujata Raj
Liver International. 2019;39(5):802-811.
Abstract and Introduction
Drugs Associated With DISI and DILI
Host Factors
Diagnostic Criteria
While dermatologic manifestations of adverse drug reactions are frequent, drug-induced liver injury is rare. Numerous drugs are implicated in either Drug-Induced Liver Injury or Drug-Induced Skin Injury. However, concomitant Drug-Induced Liver Injury and Drug-Induced Skin Injury are uncommon, not well characterized and appear to be caused by a limited number of drugs. These are often associated with immuno-allergic or hypersensitivity features such as fever, skin rash, blisters or peeling of skin, eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy and mucositis. Liver injury can range from asymptomatic elevation of liver biochemical tests to severe hepatitis and acute liver failure needing liver transplantation. Severe cutaneous adverse reaction, particularly drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms is commonly associated with internal organ involvement, the liver being the most frequently involved in approximately 90% of the cases. In Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, abnormalities in liver biochemistry tests are common but severe liver disease is rare. There is a strong association of Human Leukocyte Antigen genotype with both drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. It is likely that the delayed immune-mediated reaction triggering skin reaction is also responsible for hepatitis. Drug-specific lymphocytes are found in the organs involved and also in circulating blood, which along with the cytokines and chemokines play a role in pathogenesis. Anti-epileptic drugs, allopurinol, sulfonamides, antibiotics and nevirapine are the top five causes of concomitant liver and skin injury. This review will focus on drug and host factors causing concomitant Drug-Induced Skin Injury and Drug-Induced Liver Injury and discuss the characteristics of liver involvement in patients with severe cutaneous adverse reaction.
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) account for 5% of all hospital admissions and can occur in 10%-20% of hospitalized patients.[1] Majority of ADRs are non-immunologic, mild and self-limiting. ADRs involving the skin are much more common than those involving the liver. Severe cutaneous adverse reactions are rare and thought to be immunologically mediated.[2] By contrast, drug-induced liver injury is rarer and the crude annual incidence rate of DILI in a recent Icelandic study was 19.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.4-23.3) cases per 100 000 inhabitants.[3] However, DILI is drug-dependent, varying from one of 133 patients taking azathioprine, one of 9480 patients taking diclofenac to one of 2350 receiving amoxicillin-clavulanate.[3] The incidence depends upon the definition of DILI used and also upon the frequency of testing liver chemistry tests.
Both drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and drug-induced skin injury (DISI) are idiosyncratic in nature, which means they are unpredictable in nature, delayed in onset, often non-dose-related and cannot be attributed to the normal pharmacological action of the drug. The immuno-allergic or hypersensitivity features associated with drug-induced injury include skin rashes, facial oedema, fever, peripheral eosinophilia and or lymphadenopathy. When these features are associated with DILI it is termed immuno-allergic hepatitis. These external manifestations particularly skin rash and facial oedema, often prompt a visit to a dermatologist, often before a hepatology consult, where the diagnosis of adverse cutaneous drug reaction is made. The presence of jaundice signifies clinically relevant liver injury that is confirmed by abnormal liver biochemistry test results.
The presence of immuno-allergic features or hypersensitive skin reactions (HSR) in patients with DILI is variable; it is reported to occur from 15% patients in the drug-induced liver injury network (DILIN) registry[4] to 23% in Spanish registry[5] as well as a single centre Indian registry[6] but is likely to be more common.[7] Details about the type of skin rashes or components of hypersensitivity are not well specified in studies, making comparisons between these difficult. Liver injury is typically manifest concurrent or subsequent to skin injury and only rarely (<10%) does liver injury precede skin injury.[8] Although any type of skin reaction may be associated with liver dysfunction, the clinically important or significant ones are associated with severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) such as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) or Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN).[2]
Amongst SCAR, DRESS syndrome is often associated with severe and life-threatening liver dysfunction compared to the milder liver dysfunction seen in association with SJS/TEN and AGEP.[9] Mortality in one series was significantly higher (11%; 6/61) in patients with drug skin hypersensitivity and liver involvement, compared to 1.4% (1/72), in those with only skin hypersensitivity features.[9]
This review will focus on drug and host factors causing DISI and DILI and discuss liver involvement in patients with SCAR particularly in DRESS and SJS/TEN phenotypes.

Liver and skin involvement occurs in 10%-28% of patients in DILI registries; DRESS is more common than Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermolysis necrosis.
DRESS is characterized by fever, rash, eosinophilia and internal organ involvement; liver is the most common organ involved varying from biochemical abnormalities to severe hepatitis including ALF.
There is an inconsistent relationship between the severity of skin injury and liver injury and also between eosinophilia and skin or liver injury.
Anti-epileptic drugs, allopurinol, sulfonamides, antibiotics and nevirapine are the top 5 drugs responsible for immuno-allergic hepatitis and skin injury.
Important HLA associations include HLA-B*1502 and SJS/TEN associated with carbamazepine, HLA-B*13:01and DRESS associated with dapsone, HLA-B*35:02and minocycline, HLA-B*5801 and SJS/TEN and DRESS associated with allopurinol.

What does the Philippine Government's suspension of OEC mean to me?
On Monday, 4th December 2017, the Philippine Government announced the resumption of overseas employment certificate (OEC) processing. A reported 1,200 Hong Kong families had been affected by the ban.
Our partner agency in the Philippines has been able to submit OEC applications but was not able to obtain an estimate for the processing time. Normally, OECs are approved within one week, however, we expect there will be delays in the weeks following the resumption of processing.
Jalilo Dela Torre, the Labour Attaché at the Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong made a statement to assure employers that the POEA will work full capacity to clear the backlog. But he was not able to estimate the time it would take to process the delayed applications as it fell within the purview of the Philippine government.
If you are an employer with a worker with a visa in process, you should be prepared that flights will likely be more expensive in December and early January.
If you are a worker currently on holiday in the Philippines and are returning to the same employer, you will not be affected. You should apply for your OEC number online as usual.
On Friday, 10th November 2017, the Philippine Government announced a temporary suspension to the processing of Overseas Employment Certificates until 1st December 2017.
The news affects an estimated 1,000 migrant domestic helpers coming to Hong Kong. However, the suspension affects migrant workers going to all countries around the world, and doesn't specifically target Hong Kong.
We've had a number of questions from employers and domestic workers who are concerned about the news. Below we've tried to answer what this means to you, depending on your situation.
What is the overseas employment certificate (OEC) and why has processing been suspended?
The OEC is a document issued by the Philippines Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) to Filipinos working abroad. OECs are issued after the visa is released by Hong Kong Immigration and the document is the final stage in the process. It is proof that the government allows the worker to migrate and workers cannot leave the Philippines without it.
The Philippines Government cites "persistent reports of illegal recruitment" as the reason for the temporary suspension. Illegal recruitment of migrant workers is widespread in Hong Kong and elsewhere and is the reason Fair Employment Agency was set up. For more on the problem, read Our Story.
I am an employer or domestic helper with a visa in process, how does this affect me?
If the domestic helper is processing locally in Hong Kong, processing will continue as normal. You will not be affected by this suspension.
If the domestic helper cannot process locally and has to return to the Philippines, there may be delays to the processing. If the visa is due to be released by Hong Kong Immigration between 13th November and 1st December 2017, then the domestic helper will not be able to leave the Philippines until OECs are released again. This is set to start again after 1st December but there could be further delays due to the backlog and the Christmas period. Employers should also be prepared that flights will likely be more expensive in December and early January.
I am an employer or domestic helper about to start the process of hiring, how does this affect me?
We do not expect you to be affected by the changes and recommend you continue with processing as usual. If you are using an employment agency, read our guide to choosing a responsible agency to avoid illegal recruitment practices.
I am a domestic helper about to go on holiday to the Philippines and will return to the same employer, how does this affect me?
If you are going to the Philippines on holiday and are not changing employer, you will not be affected. You should apply for your OEC number online as usual.
I am a domestic helper currently on holiday in the Philippines and returning to the same employer, how does this affect me?
If you are currently on holiday in the Philippines and are returning to the same employer, you will not be affected. You should apply for your OEC number online as usual.
If you are using a responsible employment agency, they should tell you how this suspension might affect you. You should contact them directly if you have questions.
If you are self-processing, this means your worker is able to process locally in Hong Kong and the suspension does not affect you. You do not need to do anything.

People's Choice at the 2017 NEAM Father's Day Car Show Marc Wonderman's 1934 Morgan SS "Trike"
(Photo Jenny Ord Bonadio)
Norwalk, Conn. – On Sunday, June 17, 2018 New England Auto Museum will again host the Father's Day Car Show presented this year by BMW of Darien on the lawn of Mathews Park in Norwalk, site of the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum. The event will be held from 10AM to 3PM and will offer a wide variety of classic cars to view. Admission to the event is free to spectators; a donation will be voluntary and any proceeds will go towards the New England Auto Museum's building and education funds. The New England Auto Museum is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Great food and refreshments will be provided all day by J & D Grilling along with ice cream treats from Good Humor and gourmet popsicles from PopCentric. There will be trophies for People's Choice, Favorite in Show and more.
Spectators can come out and enjoy an afternoon of classic cars in all shapes and sizes, talk with the owners, be a judge and select their favorite car, grab a bite to eat and even visit the Stepping Stones Children's Museum and tour the historic Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, right next door. It's a great afternoon for Dad and the whole family!
This year, the Father's Day Car Show will feature two celebrated automotive marques: from Germany, the BMW 2002 celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2018 and from America will be the iconic Dodge Viper, 30 years on from the original concept car in 1989.
The 2002 series was probably the most important model in BMW's history. In the early 60's, although small cars like Isetta, 600 and 700 kept the Munich company alive, its image was mushy and the financial outlook was still poor. It was the 2002 series that changed its fate. This little 2-door sedan redefined the image of BMW. It combined a powerful engine and agile handling with solid German build quality and practical 4-people accommodation into a reasonably priced package. No one else had ever done that before. From 1966 to 1977, BMW produced 850,000 units of the 2002 series. That's more than 4 times the number of the Isetta series and each car enjoyed a much higher profit margin. The car not only brought BMW a big fortune but also established the winning formula for the subsequent 3-Series to follow and sales success that continues to this day.

The Dodge Viper's road to reality is one of the most intriguing stories to come out of Detroit since the creation of the Corvette. Born of the desire by Chrysler's then-President Bob Lutz and Chief of Design Tom Gale, the Viper concept was cobbled together in secret by a dedicated cadre of car guys. Their vision was to recreate a modern-day, Cobra-inspired sports coupe devoid of high-tech gadgetry, turbocharged engines and the dreaded automatic transmission.
Under Gale, Chrysler's Highland Park advanced design studio was tasked with designing the Viper's exterior, while famed racing legend and Chrysler Performance Consultant Carroll Shelby was brought in to help with inspiration.
The Viper concept car made its first public appearance at the 1989 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and the public went wild. CEO/Chairman Lee Iacocca knew what he had on his hands, and in 1990 he gave the green light to produce a limited number of Vipers, the first examples rolling off the line in January 1992.
After 25 years, production of the Dodge Viper stopped on August 31st, 2017.This was a momentous occasion. Referred to by car journalists as "the last great American car", the Viper has inspired feelings of adrenaline, envy, admiration, and pure driving enjoyment for its dedicated fan base since the prototype was first shown to the public 30 years ago.

Anyone interested in showing a car at the Father's Day Car Show may pre-register online at the New England Auto Museum website at only $15/per car or at the gate on the day of the show for $20/per car. All show cars will be welcome with no cut-off year. Spectator admission is free. Prizes will include awards for the Peoples' Choice, the Mayor's Choice, Favorite in Show and many more. Dash plaques will be available for the first 100 cars to register.

Approve the Keystone XL project and reap the profits
"I want it built, but I want a piece of the profits."
Subjects: Energy

President Donald Trump announces that his administration will issue a permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline March 24, 2017. (Al Drago/The New York Times)
State Department issues crucial Keystone permit
By Lauren Carroll on Friday, March 24th, 2017 at 11:39 a.m.
At the urging of President Donald Trump, the State Department has issued a presidential permit for TransCanada's Keystone XL, an important step forward for construction of the pipeline and a complete reversal of a decision made under former President Barack Obama.
The State Department permit, issued March 24, is necessary for the pipeline to cross the U.S.-Canadian border. The pipeline would transport more than 800,000 barrels of oil from Western Canada to Nebraska, then connect with an existing pipeline system.
The Obama administration denied pipeline operator TransCanada the State Department permit in 2015, citing environmental concerns. But four days after taking office in January 2017, Trump signed a memorandum inviting TransCanada to re-submit a permit application, as well as encouraging the State Department to expedite its decision.
This step gets Trump closer to fulfilling his promise to build the pipeline, but hurdles remain. The Nebraska Public Service Commission still has to approve the project, and protests from environmental activists and local landowners are expected.
Additionally, Trump said he wants "a piece of the profits," and it is unclear as of yet how Trump or the United States could demand some sort of compensation for building the pipeline.
For now, this promise remains In the Works.

Trump issues presidential memorandum on Keystone
By Allison Graves on Tuesday, January 24th, 2017 at 5:14 p.m.
During his first week in office, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum advancing the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, which is a clear reversal of former President Barack Obama's actions.
This order does not guarantee the final permit needed to build oil pipelines like Keystone, but it invites TransCanada, the pipeline operator, to re-submit a permit application for the extension. It also encourages the secretary of state to "take all actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate its expeditious review" within 60 days of a permit being submitted.
Because the pipeline would have crossed the U.S.-Canada border, it required a presidential permit from the State Department, which the Obama administration denied in 2015. It said the project would hinder the United States' ability to be a leader in climate change action.
(That idea, expressed in a 2015 letter from then-Secretary of State John Kerry, has since been taken down from the State Department website.)
The controversial extension to the Keystone pipeline would transport more than 800,000 barrels of oil from Western Canada to Steele City, Neb., and then connect it with an existing southern pipeline system that opened in early 2014.
As Trump signed the Keystone XL measure on Jan. 24, he said it would create a "lot of jobs, 28,000 jobs, great construction jobs".
A 2014 State Department report, which evaluated the project's environmental and economic impact for the country, found, "A total of 42,100 jobs throughout the United States would be supported by construction of the proposed Project."
Most of those jobs would only last during the construction phase, which was expected to take one to two years in 2014. After the construction phase, the State Department report concluded the project would provide for about 35 permanent employees and 15 temporary contractors.
As for the environmental impact, a 2014 State Department report determined the project is "unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands."
But that doesn't mean it would be entirely without negative environmental impact, seeing as the same document found that it would generate more greenhouse gases than alternative methods.
In addition to the Keystone XL memorandum, Trump also signed a presidential memorandum reviving the Dakota Access Pipeline project by ordering the Army to "review and approve in an expedited manner" the construction of the pipeline. He also signed an memorandum asking for a federal plan to incentivize U.S.-made pipes for projects.
Trump has taken the first step to move forward with plans to build the Keystone XL extension. The pipeline still needs to be built, and Trump still needs to profit off it once it's built, so we rate this pledge In The Works.

Trump wants to revive Keystone XL project
By Allison Graves on Friday, January 20th, 2017 at 12:00 p.m.
Donald Trump has repeatedly pledged to approve the 1,179-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline project in exchange for a share of the profits.
The controversial extension to the Keystone Pipeline would have transported more than 800,000 barrels of oil from Western Canada to Steele City, Neb., and would have connected with an existing southern portion of the pipeline system that opened in early 2014.
Because the pipeline would have crossed the U.S.-Canada border, it required a presidential permit from the State Department. The Obama administration denied the permit in 2015 and claimed the project would hinder the United States' ability to fight climate change.
Trump has hinted he will move forward with his agenda very soon, a direct contradiction of President Barack Obama's actions.
"You're going to have a decision fairly quickly, and you'll see that," Trump told Fox News on Dec. 11, 2016.
WHY HE'S PROMISING IT
Trump wants the U.S. government to profit off of the pipeline and create jobs.
"I want it built, but I want a piece of the profits," Trump said May 26, 2016, before delivering an energy speech to an oil-industry audience in North Dakota. "That's how we're going to make our country rich again."
According to a 2014 State Department report, the construction of Keystone XL would create 41,200 jobs. After construction, however, the pipeline would only employ about 50 people, primarily for maintenance.
Trump could revive the pipeline project in a number of ways. But first some background. TransCanada, the pipeline operator, filed multiple application permits to build the project extension.
Before the State Department rejected the final permit application from TransCanada, it considered the pipeline's impact on the economy, environment and energy security. After nearly a four-year review, Secretary of State John Kerry and Obama rejected the permit for Keystone XL in 2015 under enormous pressure from environmentalists.
After the plan was rejected, TransCanada Corp. filed a legal claim in the summer of 2016 in an attempt to recoup the costs of Obama's rejection.
So how could Trump change things?
James Coleman, an energy law professor at Southern Methodist University, said that the administration could settle the TransCanada lawsuit by approving Keystone XL. He noted that environmental groups may intervene, but he said it's hard to stop a government from settling.
Trump also could withdraw the executive order that gives the president and State Department authority over cross-border energy projects on his first day in office.
Another option: The State Department could reconsider the evidence that led to the 2015 permit rejection. Coleman said the State Department's initial report was "relatively favorable to the pipeline." For instance, it said that the pipeline would actually reduce world greenhouse gas emissions.
Finally, the last option is to not enforce any laws that prohibit TransCanada from following through with the pipeline.
As for Trump's plan to allow the United States to get a piece of the profits, that's not as clear cut.
Coleman said he didn't think there was any way the president could demand compensation. One option, however, would be to reach an informal arrangement with the company to fund certain projects that are in the public interest.
The cost of the pipeline was around $8 billion in 2015.
WHAT'S STANDING IN HIS WAY
Coleman pointed out a few problems that could arise when Trump makes his decision. First, environmental groups could sue and demand the president stick to the previous decision.
There also is the issue of civil disobedience in the form of protests, much like what's happening with the Dakota Access Pipeline.
The timeline for this promise depends on the route Trump takes to reverse Obama's decision. Rescinding the executive order could be done on Day 1, but other options have no concrete time frame. Once the approval step is completed, the construction phase will begin, which could take around two years.

Alaskans don masks as once-sleepy volcano spews ash
NEW: Interior Secretary: Total of five "explosive events" recorded at Mount Redoubt
Geologists expect "explosive activity for the next weeks or months"
With the eruption, mudflows are possible on the Drift and Crescent rivers
Volcano last erupted in December 1989 and continued for months
Next Article in Technology »
(CNN) -- A volcano in southern Alaska erupted anew Monday, the fifth eruption since coming back to life Sunday night.
Mount Redoubt vents steam atop the crater in Alaska on Saturday.
A total of five "explosive events" were recorded at Mount Redoubt, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters Monday.
The eruptions sent ash columns some 60,000 feet into the air above the snow-covered peak, and several communities west of Anchorage, Alaska, reported falling ash, officials said.
It also raised concern about ash fallout in towns near the volcano.
A "dark and cloudy environment" was noted near Cook Inlet, Salazar said.
Agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Geological Survey were monitoring the situation. See photos of volcano's ash and steam »
Concern centers mainly on three areas, Salazar said on a Monday conference call with reporters. The first is the ash clouds' effect on air traffic in the vicinity of the volcano. Aircraft carrying a total of roughly 20,000 passengers fly through the area on any given day, Salazar said.
"I understand a number of commercial flights have been canceled coming in and out of Anchorage International Airport," USGS geophysicist John Power said earlier Monday. "We could see disruptions to air travel to south central Alaska, and Alaska as a whole for a period of weeks to months."
Officials are working with the aviation industry to make sure air traffic in the area is safe, Salazar said.

The second area of concern is for people on the ground near the mountain, he said, but noted that most residents know what precautions to take, as experts have been warning of an eruption for some time.
In Port Alsworth, where about 100 people live year-round, Mark Lang, 56, said that everyone is staying inside.
"Stay indoors and stay out of it as much as you could," he advised.
In the event residents have to go outside, he said, they wear masks.
He said the abrasive ash is dangerous to breathe and "not good for your lungs." It could pose a problem for the town, he said, if it prevents airplanes from flying into Port Alsworth. Flying is the only way to get to the town.
In Anchorage, about 100 miles from the volcano, residents were getting ready for ash.
"All the masks and filters were sold out in two days," said Abi Seaver, 19, of Anchorage.
Another resident of Anchorage said the city isn't too concerned.
"It's so far away," she said. "And we live in the Ring of Fire, so it's not an uncommon event."
The third area of concern regards facilities in the area such as he Drift River Oil Terminal, which Salazar described as a "major terminal" for the storage of crude oil. But he said measures have been taken in anticipation of an eruption, to prevent environmental damage, and "we believe everything is safe there."
Experts expect the eruption to follow the same pattern as the last events in 1989 and 1990. That eruption continued for months as the mountain's lava dome grew then collapsed, raising another ash cloud, said Tom Murray, a scientist at the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
The ash cloud was moving north, missing the bulk of the population in south-central Alaska, Murray said.
"We are continuing to watch the volcano very closely," he said. "We could have several more phases, such as we've seen."
The eruptions started at at 10:38 p.m. Sunday. Subsequent eruptions occurred at 11:02 p.m., 12:14 a.m., 1:39 a.m. and 4:37 a.m.
The USGS estimated the height of the eruption cloud at 50,000 feet and warned that mudflows were possible on the Drift and Crescent rivers, and ashfall was likely near and downwind from the volcano.
Ash from the volcano is expected to blow north and pass west of Anchorage, said Dave Schneider, a geophysicist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory. He described the ash as a trace -- meaning if some landed on a windshield, the driver could still see through it.
Power said the ash will be about the thickness of a penny or a dime. He warned residents to take precautions.
"It does pose significant problems for mechanical systems, people with respiratory illnesses and aircraft," he said, adding that residents should be prepared to stay indoors.
Those in range of the ashfall should seal their windows and doors, the National Weather Service said. It also advised that residents protect electronics, minimize driving and cover air intakes and open water supplies.
The alert level went to red, the highest level, when the eruptions began, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory Web page.

I just noticed that I haven't posted on here since April of this year. Considering that it's now November… well. That's pretty sad.

So I've decided that from January 2017, I'm going to give this blog some new life.
In 2017, I'm going to read at least 52 books, one every single week. And I'm going to review them for you on this blog as a writer and a reader.
Plus I'm going to try every single month to interview a writer friend so that you can find out a little bit more about the network of writers I'm part of, what they write and where you can find it!
I hope you're as excited about this as I am!
Gosh, it's been a while since I posted here!
Well. I went to Canada. And after that, I've been spending all my time putting together characters for a Dresden Files RPG!
I'm DMing the game, so I'm pretty involved.
Roleplaying is a fantastic creative exercise. I'm having to come up with NPCs, with plots, with locations, all with the knowledge that my players could change things at a moment's notice. It's fascinating stuff!
I honestly wish I could be writing more, but I'm so busy with other things that I hardly have the time!
But never fear, the Summer of Writing 2014 will resume from this Monday.
London Film and Comic Con was great last Saturday, particularly the first Young Adult Lit Convention. But I'll tell you more about that another time.
Because I'm going to Canada!
I'll see you when I get back on the 22nd!
