$4M Verdict, Possible Punitives, Jabs Tobacco Cos. at Trial Over Ex-Nurse's Cancer, COPD
Posted by Arlin Crisco on Nov 14, 2016 4:27:03 PM
Fort Lauderdale, FL—Jurors Monday found the nation's two largest tobacco companies liable for $4 million in compensatory damages, as well as potential punitives, for the role they concluded the companies played in the cancer and emphysema of a former nurse who smoked for more than three decades. Howles v. R.J. Reynolds, 2007-CV-034919.
The 17th Circuit Court jury needed less than two hours to issue the award to Mary Howles, 74, who claims she developed a 34-year cigarette addiction, lung cancer, and emphysema because R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris, makers of cigarettes she smoked, conspired to hide the dangers of smoking for nearly a half century.
Howles, a former surgical nurse, began smoking at 15 and continued until 1991 when she developed breathing difficulties. In 1995, doctors diagnosed her with lung cancer and emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. Doctors removed a portion of her lung as part of successful cancer treatment.
The $4 million award is about half the $8.5 million in compensatories Howles' attorney, The Alvarez Law Firm's Alex Avarez, requested in Thursday's closing arguments. "Think about all the things that have happened to her, and which are going to happen to her, and what her life is going to be like," Alvarez said. "The suffering, and the struggle for each breath that she will have until she dies."
The Howles case is one of thousands of similar Florida lawsuits against U.S. tobacco companies. The cases arise from a 2006 Florida Supreme Court decision decertifying Engle v. Liggett Group Inc., a class-action tobacco case originally filed in 1994. Although the state's high court ruled Engle cases must be tried individually, it found plaintiffs could rely on certain jury findings in the original verdict, including the conclusion tobacco companies had placed a dangerous, addictive product on the market and had hidden the dangers of smoking. To rely on those findings, individual Engle progeny plaintiffs such as Howles must establish a causal link between deceptive tobacco marketing, addiction, and smoking-related disease.
Monday's verdict concluded a week-and-a-half of testimony focusing on whether Howles was addicted to cigarettes and whether she was influenced by a tobacco conspiracy to conceal smoking's risks.
During Thursday's closing arguments, Shook Hardy's Walter Cofer, representing Philip Morris, described Howles as a smoker who knew cigarettes were dangerous for years but chose to continue the habit. Cofer told jurors Howles successfully quit smoking on her first committed attempt after she began having breathing troubles in 1991. "Mrs. Howles knew that smoking could be dangerous. She just didn't think it would happen to her," Cofer said. "But the moment it did, she put her cigarettes down and never smoked again."
Cofer took issue with the respiratory disease caused, noting evidence that her lung function is stable and mortality tables used in the plaintiff's case expected her to live until she was 88. There's absolutely no evidence, no evidence that she's going to start having exacerbations and go into a downward spiral," Cofer said. "It hasn't happened. She hasn't smoked a single cigarette in 25 years. She's never had one, single exacerbation."
Cofer added that evidence showed Howles could have prevented any damage from the cancer or COPD if she had made a concerted effort to quit cigarettes earlier. "If Mrs. Howles quit smoking in 1983, when she knew smoking caused lung cancer and other diseases, when her husband quit because of a heart attack," Cofer said, "we wouldn't be here.
But Alvarez argued Howles was so addicted to nicotine she was unable to stop the habit until 1991 when she used a nicotine patch. Alvarez reminded jurors evidence, including results of the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, showed she was a nicotine addict. "She got the maximum on every answer," Alvarez said. "She was heavily addicted."
Alvarez added Howles' addiction was built on a tobacco industry conspiracy to hide the dangers of smoking, which duped Howles until it was too late for her to easily stop. Alvarez argued Howles switched to so-called light, or low-tar, cigarettes based on the industry's false claim that light cigarettes were safer. "That [tobacco industry claim] was a lie. They knew it was a lie." Alvarez said. "They concealed the fact that they were in a conspiracy [to hide the dangers of smoking] since 1953. They concealed that," Alvarez said. "They knew that half of all smokers would die from a smoking-related disease. They didn't reveal. They concealed."
Phase two of the trial, focusing on punitive damages, begins Monday afternoon.

The solo debut from Heather Trost, formerly of A Hawk and a Hacksaw, recalls atmospheric pop à la Broadcast and Stereolab. Trost is accompanied by members of Neutral Milk Hotel, Deerhoof, and more.
Heather Trost's solo debut Agistri feels built to soundtrack stop-motion animation, a riot of flower petals and pinned butterflies fluttering across the frame. As half of the global trad-folk-inspired A Hawk and a Hacksaw with Neutral Milk Hotel drummer Jeremy Barnes, the two channeled a rustic acoustic otherworld with a committed zeal. And while that band made plenty use of Trost's violins and Barnes' percussion, drum kits disappeared entirely from the Hawk and a Hacksaw vocabulary. But on Agistri, Trost's music sounds timeless in a different way, building miniature haunted worlds in the vocabulary of European space pop—unflashy motorik beats layered with art school swirl—as it might be found on an LP hiding in a secondhand shop somewhere deep on the continent.
With its mysterious-sounding cadence and refrain, the album-opening title cut could equally be part of an eerie soundtrack from the 1970s. It also picks up threads from Broadcast and Stereolab in the 1990s, both playful and haunted in equal turns. Just as much about mood as melody, Agistri finds Trost accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Barnes, Deerhoof guitarist John Dieterich, and Drake Hardin and Rosie Hutchinson of Mammal Eggs. Finding a home in space age swing and piles of analog-sounding synths, flutes, and strings, Trost spans from the instrumental library music groove of "Abiquiu" to a cover of Harry Nilsson's familiar "Me and My Arrow" as if arranged by Magical Mystery Tour-era George Martin. Agistri works from a dense palette that's either vintage or cloned in a vat.
A sense of adventure connects the album's far reaches, and establishes a space where lyrics feel secondary. "Plastic Flowers" is guided by a rolling organ and an abstract vocal arrangement that recalls the circus-world fun of ye olde Elephant 6 Recording Company, with which Jeremy Barnes has long been associated via Neutral Milk Hotel. Returning to drums for that band's reunion tours—and more recently for several albums on his and Trost's LM Dupli-Cation—Barnes likewise occupies the kit with great personality here. Rarely defaulting to grooves, even during the Brazilian feels of "Abiquiu," his drums find paths of their own without overwhelming Trost's songs, half-songs, and atmospheres. On "Bloodmoon," layers of melody spread over multiple keyboards, as a sense of movement threads across the song's three minutes. Barnes' drums ride comparably low in the mix, his fills often feeling more like conversational tics than dramatic flourishes.
Though rich, the songs sometimes seem to function more as sound-worlds to slip into, ready for further exploration. Having also played with Beirut, Josephine Foster, and on Thor Harris' luminous Thor & Friends, Trost's solo turn is both awaited and worthwhile, cool and cosmopolitan throughout. On the penultimate "Real Me/Real You," a percussive bassline (or perhaps melodic drum figure) appears in the song's intro—a sound that's not vintage at all but palpably of the present, or even of the present's version of the future. As the song breaks down to a vocal arrangement over a squelching keyboard and rises to its chorus, one might hope it's Heather Trost's version of the future, too.

Q: how to get list of files stored in a .qrc Qt Resource file with QML? If one wanted to do it from C++, one can do:
QDirIterator it(":", QDirIterator::Subdirectories);
while (it.hasNext()) {
    qDebug() << it.next();
}

However, if I wanted to do the same from within QML / Javascript, how would I do that?

A: I would do it with a FolderListModel. Here I modified the example found here to show everything in the resource table.
    ListView {
        width: 200; height: 400

        FolderListModel {
            id: folderModel

This topic contains 18 replies, has 17 voices, and was last updated by melly 1 year, 4 months ago.
This is a bit of a deep and depressing subject but I need a bit of help. This evening I have got lost down an internet rabbit hole and found myself really struggling with my conscience about living my simple wonderful life with all the evil out there in the world. My cats are stretched out lounging on the heated kitchen floor tiles whilst I sit on a comfy sofa with a blanket. But I've been watching terrible videos of the dog and cat meat trade in Asia, the donkey skin trade, poaching, the list feels endless, and I'm sick to my stomach. I really struggle to know that I'm sitting here doing nothing whilst around the world thousands of animals are being tortured for whatever reason. It really haunts me, I picture that being my dog or cat and it absolutely tears me apart to think how much agony they must be in and how afraid and confused they must be. I find it hard to know what to do. I support certain charities regularly (PFK and the Brooke) but I don't feel like I'm doing enough to make the world a better place. My job involves saving the world in its own way but it's not enough. What actions can I take to make a difference.. and how do you live with knowing all of this stuff is going on whilst you live your easy fortunate life?
The first thing is to make a deliberate decision to NOT watch those internet videos. It is one thing knowing that those things go on and quite another to choose to watch the them. I have a colleague who sometimes tells me how upset she got watching similar videos and really doesn't take it on board when I say, I choose not to watch them – why would she think that I want her to describe them to me?
Then do as much as you can to support appropriate charities, if you feel that you want to, whilst keeping in mind that you can only do so much, before putting your own animals/family at risk.
And finally remember that you are only one person, so you can only do one person's worth of changing the world/mitigating against the evil that is done. And your amount of 'world saving' might not involve animals, it could be the homeless, cancer patients, children, the rainforest, something else but if you do your bit and other people do theirs, collectively we will all make a difference.
Start at home local to you, the small things are the things that help the most, screaming kid and mum waiting in line let them in front holds you up for mins helps the mum more. I feel we have lost the ability of tolerance and understanding that everyone is slightly different from each other.
On charity I give to water aid, the basic thing everyone needs and for education both herein the uk and abroad.
If you can't change THE world, change YOUR world.
Be nice to people, smile at strangers, random acts of kindness, support charities or causes in any way that fits your life.
I am fortunate enough to have the kind of brain that I can switch off to that kind of stuff but I do spend my life trying to make the people I come in to contacts lives a little jollier.
I just don't engage with the things I don't want to see. The internet is not always a blessing, and newspapers only seem to report bad stuff.
Do what you can. Be kind to people. Give compliments when they are deserved. Tell a friend that you really appreciate their friendship. Ring someone that you haven't spoken to for a while. Walk a dog at the local dogs home or volunteer to help at an open day. Yes none of this is saving dogs in Asia but you are making the world better for someone, and hopefully boosting your own feelings of self worth too.
And block those pages which have so upset you.
Sympathies…it affects me in exactly the same way. The only things I can do are to try not to look and to try to do what I can in my own small way. If I think about it all in detail, all the stuff you've said, plus 'normal' farming, it's just too much.
FB is a nightmare though…one night I was literally having a 5-second nose before turning out the light & saw something awful that really upset me, but how can you not look when it's shoved in your face without warning, and then how can you forget?
I sometimes feel bleak despair too when I read the news and wonder what kind of a ****ed up hellhole mankind has made for itself in this world.
All we can do is to live our lives well as individuals, consume with a conscience, think of the environmental impact of how we live and try to be good people, kind to our animals.
It's sometimes best not to watch the news or internet news like this if it tortures you, one victim is bad enough.
I always think, that you can't change the world, but for example adopting an pet from a rescue or giving any pet a good home, can change the world for that sentient being.
And whilst I really wish I could change the world, I try and be kind as much as I can, as you never know how much a person is going through behind their face to the world.
Just remember small ripples – can spread, its better to send kindness rather than fear..
I know where you are coming from. I sit in a warm house with my dog, watching TV and eating tasty food and I think of the homeless who have to sleep on the streets, i think of animals who are badly treated and I start thinking that I don't deserve what I have and them worrying that I will end up on the street one day…Like you I can't switch off.
You can only do what is possible for you, take care of that. Trust me if you have kids it gets worse I swear. My heart breaks in at least a daily basis if i think too much, refugees, abuse victims, starving children. That's before the animal stuff gets in. If you stew on it too much it breaks you. I think the reason the marvellous people on the front line like pfk don't break is because they're actively doing something most of the time to help.
A large part of my work is working with adults who were abused in childhood, I hear horror stories on almost a daily basis, I just "get on" with that, partly because I know I am helping them to reach their goals of happy and fulfilled live, BUT I can no longer cope with reading survivor stories and one particular book, which I had recommended to me and which I have recommended to others is now a complete no go for me, I can only presume it's because I can't make any difference to the author. Perhaps the answer is to only look at the areas you can help and not go looking for things that you cannot influence.
I turn off the TV when it's showing animal or human atrocities.
I give to charities that strike a chord with me. All human ones, for me people come first.
I volunteer in my local community to make life better for local people. Out last night as part of the road closure team for the turning on of the Christmas lights. Loads of people out having fun. Next week I'm interviewing year 12 students to give them practice in applying for jobs.
I have never been able to get a picture out of my mind of Chinese cooking that was on TV. It haunts me thirty years on. I wish I had never seen it.
Don't watch the videos. I certainly won't look at that poor beagle being torn apart.
I think you have to do what you can and treat others as well as possible. I'm super nice to the kids I teach because I don't want to have anything but a positive impact on their memories/lives.
You can't change the world, but you can change your reaction to it, to take a piece of advice I read somewhere.
I will never open videos like that, and if anyone posts links or pictures on Facebook I hide them, I even hide friends that regularly post them (from my newsfeed). It only gives me nightmares and sticks in my head. I actually want to shout at people that post them!
I try my hardest to research what I'm buying nowadays. I try not to buy anything product – cosmetic or household – that is tested on animals, and nothing fur or fake. I won't buy feather duvets or pillows anymore. I don't even eat meat anymore.
On a personal I support some local and one foreign animal shelters. I collect children's clothes and shoes locally (I have a local school, church and nursery collect for me) and they go to work where I and my fellow cabin crew take them personally out to orphanages in Africa and India or refugee camps in Athens, where we hand them personally over. No middlemen or big charity involvement, and we know them well. I always buy a couple of things for the local food bank when I shop, and I save my hotel toiletries for our local homeless shelter.
It's only bits, but each little bit we do adds up. There are some horrible things happening around the world, but there are good people too. You have to focus on that.
I actively avoid seeing any of these sort of images and am thinking of unfriending anyone who posts them of Facebook. I am still haunted by a television programme I saw about the Brooke Hospital and its work which must have been nearly 30 years ago and you are right, you can't "unsee" these things.
However, there is some good advice on here about trying the change the world in your own small way. We recently took on a new dog (our sixth) from a charity. She is a bit of a nightmare – she rags our elderly collie something rotten, we've had to spend a fortune to stop her escaping and she often refuses to come in from the garden which is a complete pain in the proverbial. She is massively strong to the point where I find her harder to control on a lead than my horse. However, she has a lovely sweet side to her and can be a very good girl when she chooses.
We have been through the mill with her in the three weeks we have had her but two things have made a massive difference in the last week. The first was just technical – I found an old Halti which belonged to one of my mum's dogs, tried her in that and she is a different dog on the lead. But the second and most important thing was that we received an anonymous letter from her former owners (Dogs Trust policy), with photos of her as a pup and a description of what she likes and doesn't etc and how glad they are she now has a home where she can run around. It had my friends at the yard in tears and it made me realise that, not only have we made a difference to one dog, we have also made a difference for a family who loved her dearly and had to let her go through ill health. I plan to write back c/o the Dogs Trust to tell them how well she is settling.
So, the purpose of this long ramble is that no, I can't make a difference for the huge majority of abused animals in the world but I can make a difference to one dog and her former family who know she is safe and cared for. One weird coincidence was that they told us that they called her by the same nickname we have used since the second day we have had her – must have been meant to be.
Realistically one person can't save the world. But we can all make a little bit of it better, so if you want to feel like you have a duty, then that's it and it's achieveable, every day. You can't be a proactive positive person if you're beating yourself up for not being perfect, either, so cut yourself some slack.
I try to be considerate, kind to animals, my horses are from charities or otherwise iffy backgrounds and I think they are happier now… I have always been veggie, I give to charity when I can, try to help out other people. And I don't watch the horrible videos.
I feel I need to do what I can in mysphere of influence and if everyone does that the cumulative effect will be huge.
There's a huge amount goes on right under our noses in the same village or town, kids having horrendous life experiences, a little girl needing stable adult friends because her dad tried to murder her mum, a single mum just unable to cope wiht two kids with special needs, adopted kids working out their fear and insecurity due to what's hapened to them, an older horse left with no clean water or hay, people lost jobs and their lives are literally falling apart, a cancerer sufferer dying in a hospice with a brain tumour and no one to visit and simply listen or sit in companionable silence and hold her hand while she cries. People flooded out two years ago who simply don't have the smarts to navigate the system and are being abandoned, a mum who just needs safe place for her kids taken to school because she is really not well.
It's all right there within walking distance. Thing is all the media savvy charities kind of give the reassuring impression that there is always someone to look after anyone whatever their condition, actually there is often **** all help out there for people who really need it, or it's labyrinthine to navigate and unresponsive.
try to spread happiness to those immediately around you. say to a stranger "that's a nice pullover you are wearing" or something like that. don't buy any products that you think have a connection to animal cruelty. this is really useful in combatting the cruelty. everything is supply and demand. as for me I also sign petitions on fb. they really do work. lots of those dog meat farms are being closed down or have closed. the tide is turning. its only by publicising the abominations and getting the world involved that change happens.

Jerrell Cogmon fired as Stratford football coach
Jerrell Cogmon has been fired as a football coach at Stratford.
Cogmon, who was in his second season, was demoted following the Spartans' 34-12 season-opening loss to Christ Presbyterian Academy. Sanders remained on the coaching staff for the following two weeks — losses to both Hillsboro and Father Ryan.
"I was demoted after the CPA game," Cogmon said. "We had been going through some stuff, differences of opinion with the executive principal (Mike Steele) on how we needed to run this program, and I was completely removed from the staff after the Ryan game."
Metro Nashville Public Schools athletic director Roosevelt Sanders confirmed the Cogmon's firing on Thursday.
"I filed a grievance with MNPS, and after filing the grievance there isn't a whole lot that I can say with regards to that," Cogmon said. "I'm kind of just waiting on MNPS to go through the process and figure out where to go from there.
"I feel pretty confident about the whole thing."
Assistant coach Thomas Porter has coached Stratford in its last three games, including last week's 41-14 win over Northwest. The Spartans (1-3) take on Region 5-3A rival East Nashville on Friday.
Cogmon, who was hired in April 2017, spent two seasons as an assistant under former Stratford coach Maurice Fitzgerald. He was promoted to head coach upon Fitzgerald's departure to Hillsboro.
In addition to serving as a coach at Tampa-area schools Leto (2003-04) and Zephyrills (2008), Cogmon has also made numerous assistant-coaching stops, including stints as linebackers coach at TSU (2009-12) and offensive coordinator at Hillwood (2013-15).

SABCS Marks 40 Years
December 4, 2017 by AACR Press Office
This year, the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) marks its 40th anniversary. Symposium organizers will commemorate the anniversary in numerous ways, including the SABCS 40th Anniversary Award Lecture, to be presented this Wednesday by Richard Pazdur, MD, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Oncology Center of Excellence.
Pazdur is expected to discuss the past and future of cancer drug development, which has certainly spurred much of the progress on breast cancer that has taken place over the past four decades. The robust program encompasses many other cornerstones of the progress, from basic, translational, and clinical research to survivor and patient advocacy.
Kent Osborne, MD, a codirector of SABCS, wrote a guest post for Cancer Research Catalyst in 2015 that details the symposium's growth. We're happy to present it again. Check back with Cancer Research Catalyst frequently for updates from SABCS, which will take place Dec. 5-9.
Guest Post by Kent Osborne, MD
Director of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine; Codirector of the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium
Kent Osborne, MD
I arrived in San Antonio, Texas, in July 1977, to start my first faculty job as an assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSCSA) in the Department of Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology. UTHSCSA was a relatively new medical school and the Division of Medical Oncology was also new, having been split off from Hematology a couple of years earlier. The division chief was Bill McGuire, MD, an endocrinologist by training but already a nationally known researcher in the biology of breast cancer focusing on the estrogen receptor.
Another well-known hemato-oncologist, Chuck Coltman, MD, would soon join the division as clinical director and director of the Cancer Therapy and Research Center (CTRC), where we saw our cancer patients. In 1978, McGuire and Coltman decided to establish a local breast cancer symposium initially designed to provide a venue for the education of oncologists working in the city. The first symposium, held in a small motel near the airport, had no more than 50 attendees. But the speakers were unbelievable, with Drs. Bernie and Ed Fisher, and Marc Lippman, in addition to McGuire and others.
The meeting grew slowly over the next couple of years until McGuire and Coltman decided to change the scope of the meeting to encompass more research by inviting abstracts for oral or poster presentation. McGuire thought that it would be best for clinicians to hear about basic research and for the lab researchers to hear about clinical research and issues affecting patients. Retrospectively, what McGuire was really thinking about at this time was "translational research," a term that was only coined years later (1991) to describe a "new type of research" during the development of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Specialized Program of Research Excellence grant program. With this new format, the meeting grew rapidly and was moved to the Hyatt Regency Hotel on the river in downtown San Antonio, and eventually to the Marriott Rivercenter, where it stayed for many years.
McGuire and Coltman experimented a few times with simultaneous sessions, clinical research presentations in one hall and laboratory research in another, but that approach was rapidly abandoned when it became clear that this violated McGuire's premise that clinicians needed to hear and understand basic research and basic researchers needed exposure to clinical research if we were going to make progress in curing breast cancer.
Although a few attendees complained about the joint sessions, most embraced the idea, which continues to this day. McGuire and Coltman were ahead of their time in fostering the idea of enhancing translation of basic discoveries to the clinic. The symposium was also among the first to include patient advocates in meeting planning and participation in educational and case discussion sessions. Later, Amy Langer, a pioneer in the advocacy movement, would deliver one of the W. L. McGuire Memorial Lectures.
Every year the meeting grew in attendance and soon it was moved to the San Antonio Convention Center, where it remains. For more than two decades the meeting was organized and led by members of the breast program at UTHSCSA. Coltman's administrative assistant at the medical school was the meeting administrator and the clinicians and basic scientists formed the program and abstract selection committees. Eventually, it became clear that we needed to be more inclusive in the meeting planning and abstract selection processes because the list of attendees was growing, and encompassing guests from more than 100 countries. So, organizers established new program and abstract review committees. Additionally, because the meeting had become so large, they created a separate administrative team at the CTRC to run the business and administrative components.
In 1992, McGuire died after suffering a heart attack while scuba diving in the Caribbean. Suddenly I was asked to assume McGuire's role as codirector of the meeting with Coltman. Luckily for me, my colleague McGuire had established a smoothly run meeting that almost ran itself under the leadership of Coltman and himself, and their hardworking staff. Despite McGuire's death, all involved wanted to continue the symposium, which by that time had become the premier breast cancer research meeting in the world.
In 1999, my group and I, including 13 faculty, fellows, grad students, and other staff, decided to move to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston to create a new multidisciplinary breast center in which we could have clinicians, pathologists, biostatisticians, and basic scientists all focus on breast cancer in a single department-like structure. The move presented a challenge for the continuance of the SABCS, but contracts were established to involve our Baylor group working with staff, clinicians, and researchers at the UTHSCSA and CTRC. The directorship of the meeting was shared between Coltman, Peter Ravdin, MD, at UTHSCSA, and myself and continued to prosper and grow to its present size (approximately 8,000 attendees annually).
Given the growth of the meeting and the direction cancer medicine was heading, I thought SABCS needed a change scientifically. The era of targeted therapy and genomic medicine was well underway then and it became clear that clinicians were going to have to understand the molecular pathways that were driving breast cancer in order to think about new treatment strategies. So, about nine years ago, I spoke with Margaret Foti, PhD, MD (hc), chief executive officer of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), about how the AACR could bring more science to our symposium and could offer new perspectives on the structure of the meeting itself. After much discussion, the SABCS evolved into a partnership with UTHSCSA/CTRC, Baylor College of Medicine, and the AACR.
Each contributor would have an equal voice in program and abstract review committee membership and the SABCS Executive Committee, while the meeting would continue to be held and administered in San Antonio by the UTHSCSA.
Once again, the meeting evolved in a progressive way to become a global meeting that unites basic, translational, and clinical research with education on breast cancer, something that I don't think either McGuire or Coltman would have ever imagined in 1978.
I am proud to have been part of this meeting from its onset, and feel privileged to work alongside my distinguished codirectors Virginia Kaklamani, MD, and Carlos Arteaga, MD. We all hope that the SABCS continues until we can say that breast cancer is no longer the public health problem it is today.
Kent Osborne, MD, has served as director of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine since 2004. A physician-scientist who focuses on breast oncology, Osborne received his medical degree from the University of Missouri Medical School and completed his residency training at Johns Hopkins University, followed by a fellowship at the National Cancer Institute. In the lab, his research focus involves the identification of mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies in breast cancer particularly treatments targeting the estrogen receptor and the HER2 receptor. Osborne has been an AACR member since 1979.

Microbleeds and the effect of anticoagulation in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source: an exploratory analysis of the NAVIGATE ESUS randomized clinical trial
Shoamanesh, A. et al. (2021) Microbleeds and the effect of anticoagulation in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source: an exploratory analysis of the NAVIGATE ESUS randomized clinical trial. JAMA Neurology, 78(1), pp. 11-20. (doi: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2020.3836) (PMID:33074284) (PMCID:PMC7573796)
Importance The reported associations of cerebral microbleeds with recurrent stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage have raised concerns regarding antithrombotic treatment in patients with a history of stroke and microbleeds on magnetic resonance imaging. Objective To characterize microbleeds in embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) and report interactions between microbleeds and the effects of random assignment to anticoagulant vs antiplatelet therapy. Design, Setting, and Participants Subgroup analyses of the New Approach Rivaroxaban Inhibition of Factor Xa in a Global Trial vs Aspirin to Prevent Embolism in ESUS (NAVIGATE ESUS) international, double-blind, randomized, event-driven phase 3 clinical trial. Participants were enrolled between December 2014 and September 2017 and followed up for a median of 11 months. The study setting included 459 stroke recruitment centers in 31 countries. Patients aged 50 years or older who had neuroimaging-confirmed ESUS between 7 days and 6 months before screening were eligible. Of these 7213 NAVIGATE ESUS participants, 3699 (51%) had information on cerebral microbleeds reported on their baseline clinical magnetic resonance imaging and were eligible for these analyses. Patients with a prior history of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage were excluded from the NAVIGATE ESUS trial. Interventions Rivaroxaban, 15 mg, compared with aspirin, 100 mg, daily. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was recurrent stroke. Secondary outcomes were ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and all-cause mortality. Results Microbleeds were present in 395 of 3699 participants (11%). Of patients with cerebral microbleeds, mean (SD) age was 69.5 (9.4) years, 241 were men (61%), and 201 were White (51%). Advancing age (odds ratio [OR] per year, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04), East Asian race/ethnicity (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.04-2.37), hypertension (OR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.54-3.15), multiterritorial infarcts (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.42-2.67), chronic infarcts (OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.42-2.23), and occult intracerebral hemorrhage (OR, 5.23; 95% CI, 2.76-9.90) were independently associated with microbleeds. The presence of microbleeds was associated with a 1.5-fold increased risk of recurrent stroke (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% CI, 1.0-2.3), a 4-fold risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (HR, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.3-13.9), a 2-fold risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.1-4.3), and strictly lobar microbleeds with an approximately 2.5-fold risk of ischemic stroke (HR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.3-4.3). There were no interactions between microbleeds and treatment assignments for recurrent stroke, ischemic stroke, or all-cause mortality. The HR of intracerebral hemorrhage on rivaroxaban was similar between persons with microbleeds (HR, 3.1; 95% CI, 0.3-30.0) and persons without microbleeds (HR, 3.0; 95% CI, 0.6-14.7; interaction P > .99). Conclusions and Relevance Microbleeds mark an increased risk of recurrent stroke, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and mortality in ESUS but do not appear to influence effects of rivaroxaban on clinical outcomes.

Sitting on the village green in the beautiful rural village of Thrussington, The Star Inn is an old pub (hence the '1744' in its name) with a modern, luxurious interior. It's been comprehensively and lavishly refitted and now comprises a laid-back, cosy bar area, leading up to a slightly more formal-feeling dining room. The extensive regeneration extends to its nine ensuite bedrooms.
The Star is a traditional village pub – a very professionally run one. It plays to its strengths – and to local customer expectations. Classic dishes, using high quality ingredients and cooked very nicely, are the order of the day, alongside a seasonal a la carte menu that's available from Thursday to Saturday. On our visit it was steak night, and the fillet steaks we enjoyed – one with peppercorn sauce and the other with Stilton sauce – were top quality. These were high quality pieces of beef, beautifully cooked. Service was good, too – as was the locally brewed, perfectly kept cask beer from Leicester's Framework Brewery.
This is a village pub that clearly likes to do things well. It's polished – all rough edges have been removed – and the delivery is good.


DStv Searching for Signal? I this due to Rain fade?
First of all, there isn't something more frustrating than not being able to use your DStv decoder due to a faulty DStv installation. Especially when you are at home and trying to wind down after a hectic day. The dreaded searching for signal error, is the most common error. Furthermore you could have this Searching for signal error intermittently or even only when it rains. We will discuss some of the reasons for a searching for signal error, in a three part series of posts. As an DStv installer with years of DStv installation experience. I would like to try and assist you with some DIY DStv installation tips. In this post I would like to shed more light on the reasons for signal loss in bad weather. Rain fade is one of the reasons for signal loss during rainy weather. It is much easier to identify a problem causing a searching for signal error, if you understand the technology better.
Rain Fade causing a searching for signal errors?
What is rain fade? rain fade appears when it rains. Rain can block signals from the satellite to your DStv Decoder. Due to the density of the water in the rain drops. Signal gets reflected by the rain instead of passing thru, straight to your satellite dish.
In addition rain can also affect the uplink to the satellite from the DStv studios. Therefore this error is not necessarily caused by a faulty DStv Dish installation. Even though it is not raining in your area, rain fade could be caused by rain at Multichoice. There is not much you can do to prevent this cause of a searching for signal error in that case. Except by improving your current reception. Optimal TV not only provide professional DStv installation Pretoria and DStv installation Centurion. In addition we also provide a DStv repair service.
No one can prevent it from raining but with a professional setup. You are able to limit your viewing interruptions. By using our expert service you are able to get the best performance out of your installation. a Professional DStv installer could make the difference between watching your favorite game and missing it. In addition to not being able to watch your favorite game you will also lose the ability to record it.
The good news is that if you invest in a DStv explora decoder. You will be able to watch your recordings during this period. a Searching for signal error will not affect the DStv Catch up service. Therefore losing signal does not mean that you should missout on DStv entertainment. With DStv's connected entertainment services you are also able to stream your favorite series and movies. By investing in a DStv WiFi connector you are able to receive these services.
DStv decoders rely on the quality and quantity signal, received by your satellite dish. The size and alignment of your DStv dish is very important. The size of your DStv dish determine the amount of signal your dish can gather. Therefore the bigger your satellite dish the higher your signal strength will be. In addition the alignment will determine the quality of the signal.
In conclusion the quality of your DStv installation determines to what extent signal loss will affect your DStv installation in bad weather. Therefore it is very important to use a reputable DStv installer.
Optimal TV supplies DStv approved services including DStv installations and repairs. Our well trained and experienced technicians renders high quality installations and repairs.

First you must determine if the rain fade you are experiencing is more excessive than normal. If this is the case you should have a multichoice accredited installer have a look at your installation. We use very integrated measuring equipment to fine tune a DStv dish for optimum signal reception.
Optimal TV can assist you with optimizing your DStv installation.

Steenkamp made his Test debut against Scotland at Murrayfield in 2004, but failed to hold down a place in the national squad due to s series of injuries. That changed with a recall in 2007 and the powerful loose-head went on to play two matches in South Africa's march to the Rugby World Cup crown.
He featured throughout the Tri-Nations and the autumn internationals the following year and went on to play against the British & Irish Lions in 2009. In 2010 he entered a rich vein of form as the Bulls clinched back-to-back Super 14 titles and continued his run into the Test season, where he was an influential presence for the Boks up until a broken arm ended his hopes of touring Europe.
In April 2011 Steenkamp was announced as one of three high-profile signings, along with All Black Luke McAlister and Wallaby Luke Burgess, for Top 14 giants Toulouse.

Zimbe! Come, sing the songs of Africa!
Zimbe! is a sequence of choral arrangements of traditional songs from all over Africa in a jazz style. This is a work which forges links between adult choirs and massed children's choirs, placing singing at the heart of the community as it always has been in Africa. And, since jazz grew out of blues which itself sprang from the mouths of African people, what better accompaniment for these songs than a jazz quintet? Zimbe! is at times touching and moving, at other times funky and grooving and all of the time incredibly uplifting both for performers and audiences alike.
SATB choir, unison children's choir, jazz quintet (piano, bass, drums, saxophone & percussion).
You need a set of vocal scores and a set of band parts to perform Zimbe! which are published by Faber Music. If your performance is taking place in the UK, please see the information below. If you're outside the UK, please email marketing@fabermusic.com who will be able to able to assist you.
Vocal Scores may be hired at a cost of £2.75 per copy, per month. This includes a licence for one performance. The fee for each additional month of hire is £1 per copy. Copies for use in a workshop (singing day) can be hired for £1.30 per copy. Vocal scores are also available for purchase for Faber Music or your local music retailer. The RRP is £9.99 per copy.

COVID-19 | Changes to foreign investment framework
Breanna Davies, Partner, Sydney Clare Miller, Partner, Melbourne
What has happened?
On Sunday, 29 March 2020, amid fears that the coronavirus associated downturn will result in foreign entities preying upon distressed Australian businesses, the Treasurer announced that the threshold amounts which apply in determining whether particular foreign investments are subject to Australia's foreign investment framework are now $0.
Does this affect my deals and transactions?
If a party to a deal or transaction you are involved in, is a 'foreign person', then the answer may well be yes.
The definition of foreign person is broader than you may realise. It includes any individual who is not 'ordinarily resident' in Australia. This can even include Australian citizens. It also includes any corporation or the trustee of any trust in which:
an individual who is not ordinarily resident in Australia (and their associates) hold a substantial interest (20%); or
two or more individuals who are not ordinarily resident in Australia (and their associates) hold an aggregate substantial interest (40%).
In respect of the trustees of discretionary trusts, if an individual who is not ordinarily resident in Australia is a potential beneficiary, then the trustee is foreign, regardless of what may occur in terms of distributions in practice.
Finally, it is important to understand that a foreign company upstream of an acquirer can cause that acquirer to be considered foreign through a tracing exercise.
As of 29 March 2020, all foreign investments subject to the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) (Act) will have monetary screening thresholds reduced to $0 (regardless of target or acquirer). This means that parties to a lot of smaller transactions that were previously not required to apply under Australia's foreign investment framework will now have to notify the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) of the proposed transaction.
The statutory deadline for FIRB review will be extended from 30 days to 6 months. This will affect completion periods / sunset dates in transaction documents where the acquisition is conditional on FIRB approval. David Irvine, Chair of FIRB, has said that efforts will be made to accommodate commercial deadlines, however this may prove quite difficult. It is also expressed that this review will be done on a case-by-case basis.
FIRB charges a fee depending on the value of the transaction, which will be something that many contemplated transactions previously outside of the scope of Australia's foreign investment regime had not had to account for. By way of example, a $15 million transaction now requiring FIRB approval would result in an application fee payable to FIRB in the amount of $26,200.
FIRB has stated it will be particularly mindful of the impact to Australian jobs as part of the national interest test.
The changes do not affect the meaning of notifiable action or significant action under the Act (i.e. no approval required for an acquisition of less than 20% of the shares in a company, unless it has a lower threshold (e.g. media business)).
Many clients may now want to consider applying for an exemption certificate which, to put it simply, is a blanket exemption from needing to seek FIRB approval in respect of multiple acquisitions for a set time period and up to a certain cumulative value. Not needing to have a FIRB condition precedent in a contract when so many competing bidders now have to will place clients at a significant competitive advantage, and will also result in a cost saving in terms of FIRB application fees over the course of multiple transactions.
Existing exemption certificates will remain on foot and actions taken within their scope will generally not be notifiable. However, where a party to a deal or transaction you are involved in holds an existing exemption certificate, please be mindful that this may be varied or revoked by the Treasurer in circumstances where the Treasurer is "satisfied that the variation or revocation is not contrary to the national interest." This is not a new risk, it has always been a potential outcome when holding an exemption certificate.

Mr Monkey sees LAYERED at the Royal Exchange Theatre, 12th December
Before he went to see You Can't Take It With You, Mr Monkey scurried upstairs to the Royal Exchange Mezzanine to see LAYERED.
LAYERED is a collection of work produced by people with learning disabilities in conjunction with the Hulme-based Venture Arts organisation. The pieces on display were created with a variety of techniques and include a layered paper jungle scene, photographs using multiple exposures or alternative methods of photography, ceramics, drawings made with wire and copper sheets, drawings on perspex, decorated boxes and a set of covers for a Venture Arts fanzine. Most of the artwork incorporates elements of the artist's life, so the exhibition as whole packs a considerable emotional punch.
Mr Monkey particularly liked the layered paper landscape of Into the Depths of the Forest, the intriguing interiors of the boxes of Objects of Curiosity, and one of the fanzine covers which warned people not to leave windows open in case tigers get in to "eat you with teeth".
Mr Monkey thoroughly recommends this exhibition to everyone.
LAYERED runs until January 14th 2012.

Chipotle is redesigning its restaurants to better serve mobile orders
Christine Fisher
No one wants to wait in line for their Chipotle order, and honestly, most people don't want to talk to anyone either. For those reasons, Chipotle's "digital business" -- orders placed through the app, online or via third-parties like DoorDash -- has grown to $1 billion. Now, Chipotle says it's going to make the digital ordering process even better with new restaurant designs optimized for pickups.
Rather than place all of the pickup orders on a crowded shelf, Chipotle will test walk-up windows and pick-up portals. The details are still vague, but Chipotle says the changes will make it easier for digital customers to receive their food.
You might see the new layouts popping up in Chicago, Cincinnati, Phoenix, San Diego and Newport Beach, California. Chipotle will tests its "evolved design" in new restaurants, including an urban storefront, a standalone restaurant with a Chipotlane and an end cap unit with a Chipotlane. It will also retrofit two existing locations.
With any luck, Chipotle will get its burrito-delivering drones flying in more places soon, too.

Josh Griffin jumps to the aid of brother Darrell after the latter's sacking.
Leaked conversations of alleged exchanges between Griffin and John Duffy have appeared on social media. Image Source - twitter.com
Interesting developments have surfaced in the past few days after Darrell Griffin's sacking on Sunday evening.
by Callum Walker
8 January 2018 at 18:32 8 January 2018 at 18:32
Following Darrell Griffin's sacking by Championship side Featherstone Rovers on Sunday for making three unauthorised appearances for Rugby Union side Morley RFC without Featherstone's written permission, screenshots of alleged exchanges between Rovers' boss John Duffy and Griffin himself have appeared on social media giant, Twitter.
In an attempt to snap to the defence of his brother Darrell, Hull FC three-quarter Josh, has posted two screenshots of alleged exchanges between head coach Duffy and his brother Darrell. These screenshots seem to claim that Duffy had allowed Griffin to turn out for the Rugby Union side.
I would say that's permission don't you ? I'm not going to let people say darrells done something wrong or that he didn't have permission. He's been nothing but a model professional for last 20 years and it hurts our family to see his name dragged under like this. pic.twitter.com/EbuqnibDAn
— Josh Griffin (@joshogriffo) January 7, 2018
Darrell himself had this to say on the matter:
Words from my brother for anyone who's had their opinions on the subject. pic.twitter.com/Z5xkufdD3p
The 36-year-old, former Wakefield, Huddersfield, Leeds and Salford player, was suspended in December pending an internal investigation for gross misconduct. The forward joined Featherstone in 2016 and signed an extension in August 2017 which made it clear that he must not play Rugby Union.
This was an agreement which Rovers' General Manager Davide Longo was keen to stress when the news broke of Griffin's dismissal for "a serious breach of gross misconduct" on Sunday evening. The club also highlighted that playing for a Rugby Union side without written permission from Rovers' chairman or chief executive, as per Clause 13 of the Rugby Football League (RFL) players' contract, was an act of serious insubordination and an example of gross misconduct.
General Manager Davide Longo highlighted that a Rugby League player's contract is designed to protect both the player and the club and that any contravention of the contract from either party, cannot be taken likely. Longo went on to add that permission to play another contact sport whilst at the club must be given in writing by either a Chief Executive or a Chairman - permission which Longo emphasised Griffin did not seek and which would not have been given either.
In a final crushing blow, the General Manager reiterated that when Griffin agreed on a new contract in August 2017, the club made it quite clear that he was not to play Rugby Union, a condition which was actually added to his written contract.
Griffin appealed against the verdict at a hearing on January 5, but the club's decision was upheld.
It is not the first time that Rugby League and Rugby Union have come head-to-head in a dispute over contracts, with the high-profile Denny Solomona saga only settled in early 2017. And, with that debacle sorted before it became a court matter, there are likely going to be even more flashpoints between the two codes in the near future, flashpoints which - if both codes go far enough - could provide a ruling that may change the game forever - as the Bosman ruling did in football.
In the past few days this story has divided Rugby League fans; some, like Griffin and his brother, believe that the forward is innocent and that if he had the approval of his coach - which Griffin alleged he did have - then he was effectively given the green light to play and keep himself fit. Others, meanwhile, see a contract as concrete and that Griffin was in clear violation of his.
The former opinion, however, has no legal grounding whatsoever. With Griffin agreeing not to play the other code - which was an agreement made solid with the contract he signed in August of last year - Featherstone Rovers were perhaps well within their rights to take this action. The justification for their dismissal is perhaps enhanced even further when considering that to play another sport the player needs written permission from a CEO or Chairman - as referenced earlier - not a head coach, something which Griffin failed to obtain.
All in all, it is a very controversial subject amongst the Rugby League fraternity at the moment and one which could have a tremendous impact on the legal side of the game. Just how Josh Griffin's actions - the posting of the screenshots on Twitter - will affect his brother Darrell, or Duffy in the near future does however, remain a mystery. But, what surely can be said is that this will not be the end of the matter. Featherstone Rovers are yet to comment on the alleged conversations.

The nearly 1 million San Diego County residents within the massive 38th California State Senate District have elected a new State Senator. Brian W. Jones, a three-term state assemblyman and former Santee city councilman, bested Jeff Griffith, a Cal Fire captain and two-term Palomar Health District board member, in the recent November general election.
Jones, a Republican, drew nearly 55 percent of the vote, compared to 45 percent for his Democratic rival. Jones is scheduled to be sworn-in on Monday, Dec. 3. Jones is succeeding State Senator Joel Anderson (R-Alpine), who is leaving due to term limits.
"I am grateful and honored for the opportunity to serve the residents of the 38th District as their State Senator," said Jones, who has lived in the 38th District since 1978. "To all our supporters, a heartfelt thank you. I want to thank my constituents for their continued trust and support. I look forward to cutting taxes, reducing regulations and supporting our veterans, as well as creating small business jobs and economic development.
Jones grew up in the 38th District. He attended Santee Elementary, Cajon Park Middle School and Santana High School, and earned a bachelor's degree in business administration.
Jones plans to open his office and announce staff appointments shortly after the Dec. 3 swearing in.

Brierfield alcoholic attacked best friend with hammer
Burnley Crown Court heard how stressed and emotional John Johnston attacked Joseph Loseley after turning up at his home early the next day. Johnston, already upset, was said to have been even more distressed after the victim - his lifelong friend - had taken pictures of the coffin at the funeral of the defendant's former girlfriend of 13 years.
Monday, 1st August 2011, 8:00 pm
He struck the victim twice and then rang his sister, telling her he had "killed Joseph". A friend who went round to the victim's home was let in by Johnston and found the victim lying on the floor, covered in blood, He was taken to hospital, where he was in intensive care for four days. The victim had suffered a smashed jaw, two gashes to his head and other injuries.
Johnston, an alcoholic for 10 years or more and said to have been drinking 300 units of alcohol a week before the assault, told police: "I'm going to tell the truth. I did it. I hit Joseph twice on the head with a hammer to teach him a lesson." A claw hammer was next to him on the sofa. He made no comment when questioned.
Johnston, of Limefield Avenue, Brierfield, admitted wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, last August.
Mr David Macro (prosecuting) said the defendant and victim had grown up together in Belfast. The two men exchanged pleasantries at the funeral but the victim was said to have refused to shake Johnston's hand at the church service.
After the cremation, there was a gathering at the Liberal Club in Brierfield. The victim had no recollection of events there because of his injuries.
Mr Macro said the defendant, who was noted to be obviously distressed at the funeral, later rang his sister wanting to talk. He said he had been in Burnley town centre after the wake with the victim with others. Johnston had asked the victim to go back to his house, but he refused, so Mr Loseley had been dropped off at his home in a taxi.
The next morning, the defendant's sister got a call from him, saying he had killed Joseph with a hammer and had tried to strangle him. The victim was to tell police he had moved house after the incident, didn't want to see the defendant and had been left in pain.
Mr Mark Stuart, for Johnston, said he knew custody was inevitable. It was very fortunate the injuries were not worse than they were.
The defendant and victim had been inseparable as drinkers. Johnston, who had a enlarged liver because of his drinking, had been taking 300 units of alcohol a week in 2009/2010 when his former girlfriend was suffering from cancer. He was at a very low ebb and in a highly vulnerable state at the time of the offence.
Mr Stuart said the victim had behaved badly at the funeral. He took some photos, the defendant had been distressed, it led to a row and the defendant went round in the early hours of the morning with the hammer.
The defendant's and the victim's relationship was over. The barrister said: "It's probably never going to repair itself and that's to the defendant's great loss and shame."
Mr Stuart added the offence had been a wake-up call to Johnston. He had not stopped drinking, but he had significantly reduced his alcohol intake. He hoped to marry his partner on his release.
Judge Simon Newell told Johnston :"What you did was not only highly dangerous, it was nearly fatal . You thought you had killed him. You rang your sister and said you thought you had killed him."

Fashion Industry Makes Statement on Temporary Foreign Worker Reforms
TORONTO – Fashion professionals are the latest to protest the reforms to Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), echoing complaints from other sectors of the economy including the tourism, health, and fast food industries.
Alecia Bell, president of Toronto's Elite Model Management, has appealed to Employment Minister Jason Kenney and rallied the support of 150 members of the fashion industry to petition Immigration Minister Chris Alexander for a meeting.
The main controversy for the fashion community is that the new TFWP reforms impede the employment of foreign models. Companies accustomed to hiring models from overseas object that the new Canadian immigration regulations treat their businesses on a par with those who rely on low-skilled labour.
Bell contends that this policy does not reflect the realities of the fashion industry. The designation of labour as high-skilled or low-skilled derives from the hourly wage relative to the provincial median. Canadian fashion epicentres such as Toronto and Montreal are subject to the Ontario rate of $21 and the Quebec rate of $20, respectively. In contrast, foreign models are paid hourly rates of $100 to $500 or more. Therefore, to treat foreign models like low-skilled workers is, in Bell's words, "not an accurate assessment of our industry at all."
Yet modelling agencies such as Elite, along with photographers, clothing retailers, and other fashion-related businesses are now subject to a $1000 fee for every foreign model they employ. They want Canadian immigration officials to eliminate this cost and speed up the application procedure for models who require a work permit to enter the country.
They claim that the reforms are having a major impact on the industry. For example, a delayed Canadian work permit recently cost Elite a $300,000 dollar contract. As Bell explained in an interview with CBC News, the consequences of such a loss have wide-ranging effects across the industry. Delaying a work permit for a single foreign model affects multiple Canadian jobs, including those of photographers, videographers, stylists, hair and makeup artists, caterers, drivers, and many more.
"These are people that rely on us for their income," Bell says. "While they may not work for three weeks, they have rates that are established for that one or two weeks of work that are high enough to substantiate their profession. Losing that client is devastating financially."
Bell adds that homegrown retailers, such as Reitman's, Hudson's Bay Company, and Holt Renfrew must import foreign models to stay competitive with international companies retailing in Canada. Agencies like Elite prioritize Canadian models, but the domestic talent pool is simply not large enough to meet all of their needs.
Failure to compete on the international market ultimately means that the Canadian fashion industry will lose out to other countries. Bell reports that another Elite client has chosen to move a $500,000 shoot to New York after being discouraged by the thousand-dollar fee and the difficulties in obtaining work permits for the necessary foreign models.
The government continues to defend the Temporary Foreign Worker Program reforms as a protective measure against abuses to the system. But this explanation is not enough for Bell and others in the fashion industry.
"I was even further concerned that no one thought to speak with us about such a significant change."
In addition to the official statements from Elite Model Management, two separate campaigns on Change.org have also launched to protest the reforms.

Live at the BBC is a live compilation album by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, released in 1995. The compilation features three different sessions by the band for the BBC: two in 1974 and one in 1992. Released in 1995, Live at the BBC features fourteen tracks, consisting of three separate performances by the band. The two 1974 performances feature the original Cockney Rebel line-up that split in July 1974. The first five tracks make up the first session, which was recorded for John Peel on 28 May 1974. Live at the BBC begins, as one would wish, with a straightforward examination of the original Cockney Rebel legacy - a live performance built around the band's Human Menagerie debut album and a studio session highlighting the sophomore Psychomodo. Then vocalist Steve Harley presses the fast-forward button and suddenly it's 1992, and he's on another of those interminable comebacks, mixing old classics with new half-hopers and, though you can kind of see the connection, it's still hard to believe that the verbosity, vision, and doom-laden prophecy of the olden days could eve.

The Multi-Platinum Debut Album is the first studio album by American hip hop group Hangar 18. It was released on Definitive Jux on June 15, 2004.

Critical reception
Rollie Pemberton of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of C, saying: "Somewhat of a backhanded recommendation, Hangar 18 may still be worthy of rotation at your next house party." Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said: "The title of their debut album may drip with sarcasm, but even if it may not go multi-platinum, Hangar 18 have an underground classic on their hands." Ryan Romana of XLR8R called it "a satisfying listen."

On July 7, 2004, Spin included it on the "More New Music to Hear Now" list.
