Paternity leave is not holiday for us: Fathers react to Maneka Gandhi's regressive statement
Somi Das | Updated on: 10 February 2017, 1:47 IST
Paternity leave: May be my wife Lipika could have continued in her legal profession, says an aggrieved father.
Except for breastfeeding, we do everything: an angry father reacts to Maneka Gandhi's paternity leave comment
Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi won many hearts when she pushed the Ministry of Labour and Employment to pass the Maternity Benefit (Amendment) Bill, 2016, which increases the period of leave for new mothers from the existing 12 weeks to 26 weeks in the organised sector.
However, her comments about implementing similar leave benefits for fathers has disappointed and angered many across the board, including fathers. Here's what she told the Indian Express while commenting on the need for paternity leave in India:
"I will be happy to give it but for a man, it will be just a holiday, he won't do anything."
That men won't or can't help with bringing up children is a regressive assumption at a time when we see unmarried men adopting kids or single fathers taking care of their biological kids.
Gandhi's statement not only undermines a father's contribution in a child's upbringing, but also reinforces the age-old belief system that women alone are responsible for caring for babies.
We spoke to fathers (some of whom are Catch employees) who are firefighting everyday to maintain a work-life balance, showing us how parenting is not just a woman's work.
Ms Gandhi, these are personal stories of everyday struggle. You may think differently now.
Andrew Clarance, video journalist, father of a 1-year-old:
"Dear Maneka ji,
Paternity leave is important. And it is most assuredly NOT a holiday! Case in point: My wife had a cesarean section. That meant that she couldn't move from her bed for about a month. She was in a world of pain. It was during this time that I changed all of Arianna's (my daughter) diapers, washed her, changed her onesies and was awake 24x7 to monitor her feeding times. My wife's C-sec was painful to the point that she couldn't hold Ari to feed her. I would hold Ari in position so that my wife didn't have to sit up to feed her".
Manoj Rohilla, media professional, father of a 9-year-old:
"Believe me, being in the media and raising a child is a really tough job, especially when both parents are working. I have cherished every moment spent caring for my son when there was no one to look after him.
Infants and toddlers demand a lot of care and time. There were times when getting 3-4 hours sleep at night seemed a luxury. I love my son and will always be there to take care of him. But I love my wife too and can't expect her to work like a machine all day long and solely take the responsibility of looking after the entire family. Apart from that, a crying baby doesn't know that the father needs to go to office in the morning.
Surely, paternity leave could have helped during those months when my baby would get up at 2 am and start playing or start crying. May be my wife Lipika could have continued in her legal profession. May be I would have continued in television. But all those things have changed and frankly I don't regret anything. But it hurts me when someone says: Men don't care.
Madam Maneka Gandhi, we do care. And we are proud of this".
Charu Kartikeya, media professional, father of an 8-month-old:
"I change my eight-month-old daughter's diapers, make her burp, rock her to sleep, take her outdoors, sing to her to help her mom/grand-mom in spoon-feeding her.
Many of my male friends who are raising their kids without the company of grandparents have adjusted their work schedule, just like their wives, to take care of their kids in shifts. This means that the only thing they can't do is breastfeed. They are around for pretty much everything else.
Apart from carrying out these duties, fathers also want to spend time with their newborns just watching their bundles of joy, who have just come in their arms, grow up. A paternity leave from work will ensure that too".
Hritesh Pandey, media professional, father of a 4-year-old and a 20-day-old:
"What the minister is saying is totally devoid of reality. We are no more living in a joint family set up. The father and the mother do not have any support system during child birth or post child birth care. With C-section becoming a norm, the need for the father to stay at home during child birth only increases. And who is Maneka Gandhi to say that I must exhaust all my sick leaves during childbirth.
That I must use my sick leaves to prove my sincerity as a father. What happens if I have a second child? The minister has spoken without any understanding of how families function these days".
Sourabh Gupta, journalist, father of a four-and-a-half-year-old:
"What the minister is saying shows she still has a 2-3 decade-old mindset about men, assuming, without any evidence, that men do not care about helping their wives in taking care of newborns.
In fact, a paternity leave will be more useful to women than men (as the man can help her). I was in a new job when my son was born and not entitled to any leave. But my wife needed me. I had to make a plea for paternity leave, since there was no such policy".
Ashim Chowdhury, author, father of three:
"Maneka Gandhi maybe right to a certain extent, but the trend is fast changing, particularly for the urban educated men who now actively share the burden of raising a new born. By denying them paternity leave she is inadvertently helping to reinforce the old male stereotype. Paternity leave will help in institutionalising the positive role of men to assist their wives during and after childbirth.
The man's presence at home is a great source of comfort for a woman during maternity. It is important to spread the idea of shared parenthood. During our time paternity leave was not the norm. I had to take leave and assist with the work at home even though we had a full time domestic help.
During our time paternity leave was not the norm. I had to take leave and assist with the work at home even though we had a full time domestic help".

Alexander McDonald
1 September 1, 2014 Update Preventive Care Services Covered Without Cost-sharing Without Copay, Coinsurance or Deductible The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires non-grandfathered health plans and policies to provide coverage for preventive care services 1 without cost-sharing (such as coinsurance, deductible or copayment), when the member uses a network provider. Services include certain screenings, immunizations, and other types of care, as recommended by the federal government. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) is committed to implementing coverage changes to meet ACA requirements as well as the needs and expectations of our members. General Highlights of Preventive Services Coverage under ACA Applies to group health plans including insured and self-insured plans, as well as individual and family policies. Preventive services are to be covered without any cost-sharing when using a network provider. Cost-sharing can still be required when using a provider that is not in the BCBSIL provider network. New recommendations can be issued at any time. As new or updated preventive care recommendations or guidelines are issued, employers and insurers have at least one year to implement the new guidelines unless otherwise specified by the government. 2 Plans that cover preventive services in addition to those required under ACA may apply cost-sharing requirements for the additional services. The regulation references preventive care services with an A or B rating as outlined by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). 1 They are listed in this fact sheet and can be found at: BrowseRec/Index/browse-recommendations BCBSIL may apply reasonable medical management techniques to preventive services benefits that may impact frequency, method, treatment or setting for coverage. Preventive Care Services to Be Offered Without Copay, Coinsurance or Deductible Evidence-based preventive services: The list of ACA required preventive services includes those that are recommended and rated A or B by the USPSTF. Routine vaccinations: A list of immunizations recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are considered routine for use with children, adolescents and adults, and range from childhood immunizations to periodic tetanus shots for adults. Prevention for children: Preventive care guidelines for children from birth to age 21 developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Services include regular pediatrician visits, developmental assessments, immunizations, and screening and counseling to address obesity. Plans that are grandfathered, meaning plans that had at least one individual enrolled on March 23, 2010 and have not made certain changes since that date to cause a loss of grandfathered status, are not required to implement some of the new requirements of the Affordable Care Act, including the requirement to cover preventive services with no cost-sharing. For more information visit this BCBSIL web site: bcbsil.com
2 2 Prevention for women: The regulation mandates coverage for certain preventive care measures for women. These recommendations include annual well-woman visits and all FDA-approved methods of contraception, among other things. 2 Billing and Office Visits If a recommended preventive service or item is billed separately from an office visit, then cost-sharing may be applied to the office visit. If a recommended preventive item or service is not billed separately from an office visit and the primary purpose is preventive care, then cost-sharing requirements may not be imposed with respect to the office visit. If a recommended preventive item or service is not billed separately from an office visit and the primary purpose of the office visit is not preventive care, then cost-sharing may be applied to the office visit. Covered Preventive Care Services 1 Depending on the particular health plan, coverage may be provided for the following preventive services without cost-sharing. 1 This list may not include all of a particular plan s covered services. BCBSIL members can call Customer Service at the number on their member ID card for details on how these benefits apply to their coverage and the most up-to-date list of covered preventive services, including those paid without any cost-sharing. BCBSIL s Focus on Prevention Laying the groundwork for a healthy tomorrow means disease prevention and early detection. Many chronic diseases and conditions can be prevented and/or managed through early detection. Preventive screenings are an important way to track your health and avoid chronic conditions before they become more serious. BCBSIL encourages you to take full advantage of your preventive care benefits and other available wellness resources. After completing a health screening, take appropriate steps to improve your health. Talk with your physician about ways to improve your health.

5 5 Footnotes 1 ACA requires non-grandfathered health plans and policies to provide coverage for preventive care services without cost-sharing only when the member uses a network provider. This includes preventive care services as follows: Evidence-based items/services rated A or B in the current recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Routine immunizations for children, adolescents and adults recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease control and prevention Evidence-informed preventive care and screenings for infants, children, and adolescents in the comprehensive guidelines of the Health Resources and Services Administrations Evidence-based preventive care and screenings for women described in the comprehensive guidelines of the Health Resources and Services Administration 2 New recommendations can be issued at any time. A new recommendation must be covered beginning on the first plan or policy year that is one year after the recommendation is issued. Non-grandfathered plans/policies are required to cover these services beginning with plan/policy years starting on or after Aug. 1, Anesthesia also covered as preventive 4 Further evaluation recommended as a result of a hearing screening test is not considered preventive and may not be covered at 100%. 5 Vision acuity test to detect amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (cross eye), and defects in visual acuity in children younger than age 5 years. Normal vision screening and further evaluation recommended as a result of an acuity test are not considered preventive and may not be covered as preventive. 6 ACA regulations provide for an exemption from the requirement to cover contraceptive services for certain group health plans established or maintained by organizations that qualify as religious employers. Also, federal regulatory agencies have established an accommodation for religious affiliated eligible organizations, in which case separate payment may be available for certain contraceptive services. 7 Prescription coverage for contraception may vary according to the terms and conditions of your health plan s pharmacy benefit. Please call the customer service number on the member ID card for coverage details. 8 Certain restrictions may apply; copay, coinsurance or deductibles may be required. Call the number on the back of the member ID card for more information. Hysterectomies are not considered part of the women s preventive care benefit. 9 Breastfeeding Breastfeeding specialist/nurse practitioner with state-recognized certification who is in your provider network Breastfeeding support and counseling by a trained in-network provider while you are pregnant and/or after you ve given birth Breast pumps (manual, electric and hospital grade)* The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) implementation of preventive services without cost-sharing under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) previously covered manual breast pumps only. Effective April 15, 2013, BCBSIL expanded its coverage to include electric and hospital grade breast pumps. This coverage applies to non-grandfathered plans and policies and expands the breastfeeding support options available to members without cost-sharing (some limitations or restrictions may apply). As of May 1, 2014, breastfeeding supplies (electric and hospital grade breast pumps) will be covered when obtained through an out-of-network provider, where coverage was previously excluded.

Want to make a difference in the world? Scratch that sweater off your gift list in favor of donating to one of these online charitable programs that have partnered with Johnson & Johnson to make giving stress-free.
Many of the most memorable holiday gifts don't come wrapped in boxes and bows—they come from the heart.
Gifts from the heart like helping kids in under-served areas get access to much-needed educational tools, or helping HIV-positive moms living in resource-constrained regions get the medical care they need to thrive.
And this holiday season, Johnson & Johnson is making it easier for do-gooders to help support such charitable organizations as Save the Children and the USO through these special online programs.
Plus, there's a bonus: In some cases, Johnson & Johnson has committed to making a match—so your charitable gift-giving can go even further.
You're probably already taking photos of the dog in his cute Santa costume and the Martha-worthy cookies you baked for all those holiday parties, so why not put them to good use?

Get the latest about all things great hair and great skin — and we'll email you 10% off your first order.
The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) states that hair care products can cause acne and breakouts. They recommend that people use hair products that are labeled as non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) since clogged pores can lead to breakouts and acne. SEEN hair care products are clinically tested to be non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).
Creating non-comedogenic products is about the magic of the formulation and not about any one specific ingredient. It's about how ingredients mix together to create a product that respects the skin and the pores. It's an art and a science since small changes to a formulation can change whether it will or won't clog pores.
It took us 4 years of research and testing to get our formulations just right. We're proud to have been granted 2 patents for non-comedogenic hair and scalp care formulations and we're even more excited about helping people to feel and be their best selves.
What can my skin expect once I start using SEEN?
For most people, the benefits from using SEEN products won't be instantaneous. Your skin will take some time to respond. While you may see results as soon as 1 week after starting to use SEEN products, it can take up to 2-3 weeks to see happier and healthier-looking skin. SEEN products are best used as a regimen.
Does it take time for my hair and scalp to adjust when I switch to SEEN?
SEEN works best when you give it a few washes (3-4) for your hair and scalp to enjoy the full moisture benefits of SEEN products. It can take time to get rid of build up from other products.
Why are SEEN products best used as a regimen?
Many people (including us!) have specific products we're loyal to. However, the reason we recommend using SEEN products as a regimen is because the skin-caring benefits of SEEN products, to some extent, depend on the last product that you put on your hair. Using end-to-end products that are non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) is ideal.
SEEN products can be used by anyone.
Can I keep using my other favorite products, too?
Yes! But for best results, make sure they are also labeled as non-comedogenic (won't clog pores).
Do your products contain gluten, paraben, phthalates, sulfates, dyes or silicones?
SEEN uses a carefully curated collection of skin-caring ingredients. SEEN products are formulated without gluten, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, dyes, silicones and pore-clogging oils.
Are SEEN products tested on animals?
We do not test our finished products on animals, except of course humans who volunteer to test our products.
Where are SEEN products made?
Some of our components come from outside the U.S. (e.g., our bottle cap), but all of our SEEN liquids (SEEN Shampoo, SEEN Conditioner, SEEN Blow-Out Crème) are formulated in the U.S.
I love SEEN. How can I ensure I always have it on hand?
Our auto-delivery service is the quickest and most convenient way to keep skin and hair looking its best. Sign up to automatically receive replenishment every 30, 60 or 90 days. One less thing to worry about.

A raid by pro-government forces left at least two people dead in Nicaragua on Sunday, where more than 230 people have been killed since unrest broke out in April, a rights group said.
"There are two dead reported in Diriambo" in the country's southwest, said Vivian Zuniga, an official from the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (CENIDH).
Heavily armed groups of men in civilian clothes with black hoods were shown in the Carazo area in videos filmed by residents and posted on social media.
"The situation is serious. There is an undue attack by government forces that is causing bloodshed, more death and mourning in our country," said Alvaro Leiva, the executive secretary of the Nicaraguan Association for Human Rights.
Protesters are demanding the resignation of President Daniel Ortega, a former leftist guerrilla who came to power with the popular uprising that defeated dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979, and retook the presidency in 2007 after a vote.
Roman Catholic bishops are working to mediate dialogue between the government and opposition in a bid to end the protests and government repression that have wracked the country since April 18.
The protests, first sparked by since-aborted pension reforms, quickly broadened into a rejection of Ortega and calls for him to go.


You must have all the lib files in your required directory, Unless you send me the real message its a bit hard to give you an advice.
how would you go about sending a text file rather than just a character message??
any help or direction is greatly appreciated!
Re: send a text file??
huuulo? anybody still looking at these threads?
could you give me a copy of "sample code"?
I also need some code to send and receive images instead. Any help?
for the above code sample to work properly.
// the file can be a text file, image file, anything.
char buffer;	// this can be any size you like.
while (!feof(f))	// read the whole file 1 byte at a time.
I have trouble with send/recv cstringarray I have to deal with in my program.
return; --> It suppose not to get in here. Why I reach here?
When I reach to -- client = accept(s, NULL, NULL); -- it hang over there. What happen actually? Is it waiting for incoming call?
From the lines of code you have shown me here its difficoult to say what the problem is, so maybe try the following things and then if you are still stuck then send me your code and then i can give you more help.
From your client code, if you really have put ("aaa") in the code then unless that is the name of your machine that line will fail. If you are running the program from the same machine as your server you can put ("127.0.0.1"). However its best that you use either a real IP or your server machine name. If your client can not see the machine for whatever network issue you may have that line will always run into problems.
when you call accept the program waits for the client to make a connection. only once the connection is created the program moves on!
Hope this help. Let me know if you are still stuck. - Good luck!
Thank You very much for your help.. Friendly tell you.. I am creating a simple chat program, the first thing I'll going to do is make client and server to connect. But now a bit trouble... The resource quite few on the "basic concept to make a connection". I have go through some sample here but I still couldn't grab the concept, I really need someone to teach me on Internet Programming.
gethostbyname(www.codeproject.com); OR gethostbyaddr(127.0.0.1); Am I right?
But your case is "hibbert". I wonder? If I WANT TO use it in this way, what else I should know?
At server part, when come to accept(); Is it 'halt' or 'hang' over there? Because I have try to put on interface and create a button to do that job, when I click on that button, I open up the task manager, it show me 'no response'.
"WSAStartup() is use to retrieve details of the specific Windows Sockets implementation". I don't really understand this part. Is that important?
Sorry for the late reply but i have been a little busy in the last few dasy!!
Answer 1. The reason why the server runs ok is bacause in the server code you never specify the machine name and in your client you do. You do not have a server machine called "hibbert", that is the name of my machine server.
Answer 3.You Must use WSAStartup() without that call you will not Initialise the correct dll required to deal with you sockets. so its very inportant that you use at start and that you call WSACleanup() to make your program clean up after its self.
I have change the name to my machine's name "HuaHsin". It really work. Thanks a lot.
I got an idea, if I want to know who is connecting to me. I mean the user's name, like ICQ. How can I do that?
If I want to get the machine's name. Can you teach me how to do that?
I always confuse with return 0 and return 1. Which one is return true?
In server part, you have SOCKET client, but you didn't define it. Why?
Why create 2 socket? Is it 1 for receive and 1 for send?
Can I have your email address? Because I found out that you are the one who care about 'the beginner level'. Unlike some of them, talking 'technical stuff', for beginner is hard to understand. So next time if I have something regarding to Internet, then I ask you. OK?
You need to have to socket in the program, because one socket has to be your server socket, you do this when you use the bind() method. The other socket rapresents your client connection to whom the server speaks to.
Hope this helps you. Sorry that i replied late i had a lot of work on.
I have client connecting to server. When I disconnect the client from server, then I connect it again, it stop at gethostbyname(). I think there should something wrong.
I have client connecting to server. In this case, I only can send from client. But the server can't send. How can I make a send request on both side?
Do you have a good solution on these?
You have outlined recv() message from client in server, would it be the same to recv() message from server in client, an example maybe?
You can use the recv method in the same manner from server to client. If you are stuck i can dig out some sample code for you.

Q: Spring @Transactional annotation making my class not able to Autowire I have a class SaveRoute which has got an auto-wired property SaveProcessor.
This SaveProcessor class has got a method which is annotated with @Transactional annotation. When I try to run my application, Java is throwing an exception that bean SaveProcessor dependency injection failed. When I remove @Transactional annotation from SaveProcess class method, it is working fine.
SaveRoute
public class SaveRoute implements RouteBuilder{
    @Autowired
    private SaveProcessor saveProcessor;
}

SaveProcessor
public class SaveProcessor implements Processor{

  @Override
  public void Process(Exchange exchange){
    this.save();
  }
  @Transactional
  public void Save(){

  }
}

It would be great if someone could help me on this. @Transactional making SaveProcessor class not a candidate for auto wiring.

A: agree with Spring @Transactional annotation making my class not able to Autowire answer,
it is a good practice to autowire by interface,
when you set

@Transactional

spring make proxy of your SaveProcessor object,
because it implements Processor spring will use DynamicProxy.
so you don't have a bean with class SaveProcessor in context, you have a bean with calss Proxy$.. wich implement intarface Processor.
that's why spring can't find a candidate.
it's not a problem if you have more than one implementations of Processor,
just use

@Qualifier

, or autowiring by beanName. in your case
@Autowired
private Processor saveProcessor;

will be work, beacause bean has name saveProcessor

A: You should use Processor interface instead of SaveProcessor concrete class when autowiring that kind:
@Autowired
private Processor saveProcessor;

A: I was able to figure out a solution.
Adding
@Scope( proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS )
on top of my SaveProcessor class resolved my issue.
I cannot use
@Autowire
public Processor SaveProcessor;
This is because there are mulpile implementation for Processor in my application.

Gordon Brown (4 February 1932 – 30 December 1999) was a Scottish footballer, who made over 200 appearances in The Football League for Newport County and Gillingham between 1955 and 1961.

Career
Brown was born in Dunfermline and, upon leaving school, worked at Blairhall Colliery, where he also played football for the colliery's team.  In April 1951 he came to the attention of English Football League Second Division club Blackburn Rovers and signed a contract with the Lancashire-based club.  He spent four years at Ewood Park and was a regular in the club's reserve team, but proved unable to dislodge more established players from the Rovers' first team.  In four seasons with the club Brown was never selected to play a first team match.

In 1955 Brown was allowed to leave Rovers, and signed for Newport County of the Third Division South.  He soon became a favourite with the Somerton Park crowd, and was a regular in the team for four seasons, making over 140 appearances in total and scoring 15 goals.  In the 1957–58 season he helped the club to its best finishing position for six seasons.  In 1959 he left the club to join Fourth Division club Gillingham.  In his first season with the Kent-based club he played regularly as a winger and scored 12 goals to finish the season as the team's second-highest goalscorer behind Pat Terry.  He only scored one goal the following season, however, and departed Priestfield Stadium in the summer of 1961.  He later played non-league football for Ashford Town (Kent) and Sittingbourne.  No details of his life after his playing career ended are known, although it is known that he died in 1999.

Q: Cannot access locked file in Windows Batch I'm having difficulty with a simple Windows script. This examines the current directory, stores the names of the (assumed to be 2) text files in an array, and then runs fc to compare them, piping the output to a text file.
@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
IF EXIST comparison.txt del /F comparison.txt
set filename=
set /a N=0
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir /b *.txt') do (
    set /a N+=1
    set v[!N!]=%%a
)
fc %v[1]% %v[2]% > comparison.txt

When I run this I get the error message "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
I've tried variants where I write the completed fc command line to another BAT file and then call that but with the same result (note that the actual fc code appears to be correct in this—it has the correct file names and output redirection destination). After trying to run the BAT once, I then even get the same error if I pull up an interactive command line and type the fc command manually. This doesn't happen if I type the command without first running the BAT.
This is on Win 7 x64, Version 6.1.7601.

I have always been a cockeyed optimist about America. That's because, in part, of my own family story: We came here in 1976 as penniless refugees from the Soviet Union and found a land of freedom and opportunity. It's also because of my reading of history, which led me to conclude that, for all of its undoubted problems, the United States has been the greatest force for good in the world over the past century. And it's due, finally, to my life experience: Having lived long enough to see predictions that America would be overtaken by the Soviet Union, Japan or the European Union proved wrong, I became skeptical of declinism.
I do not doubt that the United States will continue to be free, wealthy and militarily strong. Although Trump is trying his damnedest to undermine our democracy, our institutions are strong enough to survive his onslaught. Despite his trade wars and fiscal irresponsibility, our economy remains a world-beater. Our gross domestic product is still 1.5 times larger in nominal terms than China's, and our per-capita GDP is more than three times larger. And, though our relative military advantage is waning, our armed forces remain the most powerful in the world.
Americans' backing for international leadership began to wane after the end of the Cold War and suffered a body blow after the Iraq War. President Barack Obama promulgated a "leading from behind" foreign policy and declared that "it is time to focus our nation building here at home." He stood by while slaughter unfolded in Syria and Russia annexed Crimea. But at least Obama still believed in the basic principles of U.S. leadership, and, when it came to free trade, he was even willing to buck the protectionist sentiments of his own party.
Trump, by contrast, is an out-and-out isolationist and protectionist. He has launched trade wars with all of our major trade partners; praised dictators and castigated democratic allies; and has either pulled out or has promised to pull out of international agreements such as the Paris climate accord, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Iran nuclear deal. Although the United States remains in NATO, Trump has raised uncertainty about whether he would come to the defense of its members. His "America First" mantra — a throwback to the 1930s — suggests that U.S. foreign policy will no longer be based, as it has been since 1945, on support for security alliances and free trade.
If you're an ally of the United States, how can you entrust your security to a superpower that seems to have lost its marbles? If Americans could elect Trump, what kind of demagogue will we choose in the future? We are fast losing the global confidence needed to maintain our global power. A shocking Pew Research Center poll last year found that far more people around the world view the United States as a threat than China or Russia. That perception is a bigger blow to U.S. primacy than any new weapons system that China or Russia could develop.
We are also losing backing at home for U.S. leadership abroad. Although a Chicago Council on Global Affairs survey finds that 70 percent of respondents support an "active part in world affairs," leading Democrats sure aren't acting like it. Though they revile Trump, many are in sympathy with his isolationist and protectionist instincts. Progressives even attack Trump for being too activist in Venezuela, while congressional Democrats are blocking ratification of the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement because they view it as too pro-trade. Republicans used to be the party of free trade and a hawkish foreign policy, but under Trump, those have become minority sentiments.
Robert Kagan: The strongmen are back. And we have no idea how to confront them.

I showed up at YogaLife for Pilates class only to learn that the schedule was different for this week. Instead the class being offered was Flow with Alignment. The girl behind the counter said the class was ok for beginners to try, so I figured what the heck? I'm already here.
1. When the instructor only speaks Chinese, DO NOT PANIC! It is easy (most of the time) to follow along by simply watching the instructor or the people near you. If you are really messing up, the instructor will come to you.
2. Flow starts off slow. I know this has something to do with breathing. Connecting with our breath. That sort of thing. We sat for what seemed like an extra long time, just breathing. This leads to #3.
3. Seated meditation poses are hard work. You would think that sitting down would be restful. Effortless. Not so much. For a beginner like me, sitting straight makes my back muscles tired.
4. Pay attention to the sequence of poses. We were shown poses in groups of 4-6. After moving through them slowly, the instructor would have us repeat the sequence multiply times at a faster (but comfortable) pace.
5. It's OK if you can't do ALL of the poses. Most people in the class collapse the pose or simply lay down at some point. For me the goal is to try everything. Then I can see if I'm improving at all later.
6. Be prepared to sweat, A LOT! Even when it's not hot yoga! Normally I find it annoying to have sweat dripping off my face, arms, and legs. But in a yoga class, sweating means your body is warm, your muscles are warm, and therefore ready to stretch and twist and reach...I like this feeling.
7. You are supposed to contract your muscles while posing. I did not know that! I know my muscles contract as I am moving, but when holding a pose, the instructor pointed to my quads and indicated that I should contract (at least I think that's what she meant. Yogis let me know if I misunderstood). And, it's not easy to do. Believe me, I tried to tighten that quad. It just didn't want to cooperate beyond what it was already doing.
Overall, I liked Flow Yoga and will probably go back when it fits in with my schedule. It was a good class for beginners to take.
Do you have a yoga class preference?

導遊熱情且知識淵博。她能夠很好地溝通。她也知道何時適當斷言。包中包含的地方都經過深思熟慮。此外,分配時間足以讓我們享受和拍照。總的來說這是一次很棒的體驗。 The tour guide is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She was able to communicate well. She also knows when to assert appropriately. The places included in the package are well thought. Also the time allotment is sufficient for us to enjoy and take photos. Overall it was a great experience.
Pom是我們的導遊,當我們遇到交通問題時,她很安靜。我們有一個3人的個人遊,她解釋了歷史和古蹟和寺廟。她帶來了霧氣,甚至買了額外的水,因為這是部分徒步旅行。 Pom was our tour guide, she was accommodating as we were stuck in traffic for the meetup point. We had a personal tour with 3 people and she explained the history and monuments and temples. She brought a cooling mist and even bought extra water as it was partially a walking tour.
我們只有一小群三人來參觀。導遊是一位非常漂亮的泰國女士,帶我們乘坐當地的小巴,在大皇宮和Wat Pho寺散步,並在湄南河上游船。我們還在船上釣魚。旅行指南還帶我們到當地的按摩店,這是非常好的。 We only have a small group of three for the visit. The tour guide is a very nice Thai lady and took us to experience locally by taking local mini bus, taking a walk at the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Temple and having a boat trip on the Chao Phraya River. We also feed the fishes on the boat trip. The guide also took us to a local massage shop after the trip, it was quite nice.
非常好的當地導遊!但是沒有到達目的地的公共汽車在烈日下步行20分鐘,建議加入AM集團。 very nice local tour guide! however no bus to the destination just walk for 20mins under the hot sun, recommend to join the AM group.
第一次來泰國的遊客必須參加。一個非常全面的旅遊與知識的指導。雖然有點貴。 A must for first time visitors in Thailand. A very comprehensive tour with a knowledgeable guide. A bit pricey though.
我們乘坐公共交通去皇宮,導遊沒有提供簡短的詳細信息,但她很有禮貌。由於我們旅行的時間已經很晚,因此當地代理商非常樂於助人。 we took a public transport going to royal palace, tourist guide didnt gave brief detailed information but she is polite. the local agent is very accommodating since we are almost late for the tour.

62% of the Consumers Who Should Get a Shingles Vaccination Don't Know It Exists
by Rachel Cagle | 4 minute read
"Shingles vaccination is now nearly twice as effective as the previous protocol and available to patients 10 years younger than before, enabling largescale prevention of a painful, common condition. Adoption of the new standard of care could vastly reduce the one million annual cases of the disease, according to osteopathic physicians."
"Almost one in three Americans will be afflicted with shingles in their lifetime. Shingles is a painful potentially debilitating illness that is only preventable through vaccination, according to the CDC. In 2016, researchers found only 33% of eligible patients were vaccinated, pointing to the limited efficacy of the previous vaccine, a lack of awareness that the illness can be prevented and cost concerns."
"A new survey commissioned by the American Osteopathic Association finds less than two-thirds of Americans (62%) are aware that there is a shingles vaccine. The online survey was conducted by The Harris Poll in June 2018 on behalf of the AOA."
"The new vaccine, marketed as Shingrix, is shown to be 97% effective in adults ages 50-69, and more than 90% effective in those 70 to well past 80. The earlier vaccine, Zostavax, prevented just over half (51%) of recipients from developing the painful disease and was recommended for patients 60 and older, due to waning immunity over time."
Seniors (ages 65 and older) make up approximately 18.9% of U.S. adults, according to AudienceSCAN. Nearly 39% of this group plans to buy vitamins or nutritional supplements this year. With such a big focus on health, Seniors will want to know the risks of developing the condition and the benefits of the new shingles vaccine.
"Shingles occurs when the herpes zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox) reactivates years or decades later. Patients may not recall if they've had chicken pox in the past or received a previous vaccination, but Dr. Judith Lightfoot, DO, an infectious disease specialist at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, notes that if patients are unable to verify which vaccines they have received, there is little to no harm in receiving the new vaccine. In fact, it's recommended."
"Benefits of the new vaccine include:
Immunity at a younger age. Vaccination is now recommended for adults over 50 rather than 60, a result of extended effectiveness.
May be offered to some patients who have a compromised immune system, including cancer patients who are prone to developing the disease.
Even after an outbreak, the new vaccination can prevent a recurrence."
"Potential side effects include injection site redness and swelling, muscle pain, and immune system responses such as headache, shivering, fever and upset stomach."
"The pain associated with herpes-zoster can be intense and debilitating. For about 10 to 13% of people, shingles leaves them with deep, searing nerve pain, a condition called post-herpetic neuralgia, or PHN, that can last for months or years and has no treatment or cure. More than half the cases of PHN affect people over 60. Other possible complications of shingles include pneumonia, hearing problems, blindness, encephalitis and very rarely death."
"Shingles gets its name from both Latin and French words for belt, or girdle, because of the girdle-like skin eruptions that occur on the mid-section of the body. For most people, symptoms emerge as a painful rash that develops on one side of the face or body followed by blisters that typically scab over in seven to 10 days. The rash usually clears up within two to four weeks."
How can seniors be made better aware of the virus and its vaccine? Within the last year, 56.2% of seniors took action after receiving ads or coupons in their mailboxes, according to AudienceSCAN. TVs and newspapers are also the main source of local news for 55% and 24.6% of this group, respectively. Not only that, within the last year, 50.7% of seniors took action after seeing a TV commercial and another 41.7% took action because of an ad in the newspaper.

Once or twice a year I make a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie for my dad, because he loves it. No two Strawberry Rhubarb pies are ever exactly the same. Sometimes I use frozen strawberries, sometimes I add cinnamon, sometimes I add lemon zest … it varies depending on convenience and whim.
Whenever my dad (notoriously stalwart in his preferences) eats something, the seal of approval that indicates he truly likes it, the ultimate compliment that is beyond the equivalent of a 5-star review, comes in the form of five words uttered at some point during his consumption of the dish.
When it comes to my Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, I have never had a bad review.
Cut into the pie and free the pie bird, revealing all the glory that is inside!
Adding a giant scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream would be great accompaniments to this pie, but it can also certainly stand on its own two feet.
**Years ago during college times, I spent the weekend with my best friend and her large, loving, amazing Italian family at their home. Mama V made Torta di Riso and Torta di Spinaci and we helped. She handed me the rolling pin and as I started gently trying to roll the dough, she said "Don't be afraid of the dough, you are in charge. Show it who's boss." And that lesson has always come in handy for me.

Home/News/Thailand/"I disagree with the plan" – Prayut disses steep rise in license penalties
"I disagree with the plan" – Prayut disses steep rise in license penalties
ThaigerWednesday, August 29, 2018
Before you get too worked up about the proposed steep rise in penalties for driving license-related violations, you have someone on your side. The Thai PM.
The Land Transport Department (LTD)'s plan to impose much tougher penalties on driving-licence-related offenders has hit a major snag – opposition from Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
"I disagree with the plan," General Prayut announced yesterday.
Emerging from a Cabinet meeting, Prayut said the department had not been given the green light yet, adding that further discussions were necessary to determine if the plan could go through.
The LTD has proposed amendments to the Land Traffic Act suggesting heavier punishment against motorists driving without a licence or with an expired/suspended/confiscated licence or failing to produce a licence when asked. The penalty for those driving without a licence, for instance, will jump from a maximum fine of 1,000 baht and/or up to one month in jail to a fine of 50,000 baht and/or up to three months in jail.
Motorists driving with an expired/suspended/confiscated licence will also be fined up to 50,000 baht and/or jailed for up to three months if convicted. The current penalty for this offence is a fine of 2,000 baht. Failure to present a valid licence when requested is now punishable with a maximum fine of 1,000 baht, but the LTD hopes this penalty will be increased to 10,000 baht.
Supporters of the LTD plan have been blaming offences related to driving licences for the many road accidents in the country.
"Let me tell you, you can't blame everything on driving-licence violations," General Prayut said.
Statistics show 60 per cent of motorcyclists drive without a licence, and most road accidents in Thailand involve motorcycles.
Meanwhile, Deputy PM General Prawit Wongsuwon threw full support behind the LTD plan last week.
National Legislative Assembly (NLA) vice president Surachai Liengboonlertchai said yesterday that the LTD's proposed amendment was now in the hands of the Council of State.
"But if the Cabinet does not endorse it, it will not come to the NLA," Surachai explained.
Members of the big bike community quoted Government Spokesman Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd as saying that the government was ready to adjust a related 2005 law. Speaking after a ministerial level meeting in Chumphon province, he said that in future those applying for a licence to ride a big bike would have to take a separate test and will be given a different licence. It is still unclear as to what is considered a "big bike".

"SEC Gives Accounting Guidance for Historical Options Grants" in The Texas Lawyer, November 2006


Why did the Prime Minister call the election? The simple answer is that she needs a bigger majority to complete negotiations on a Hard Brexit. But are more complicated forces at work that will enable the political establishment to take back control after the confusion that followed the EU Referendum? Does this expose a system that is no longer capable of expressing the real divisions and needs of the people of the United Kingdom? Would reform of the second chamber and a new electoral system – in which every vote counts – make people re-engage, or do we have to face the fact that chronic apathy is the real problem?


Listening to a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, author Jemma Wayne was struck by just how raw her experience was two decades on.
Those thoughts stayed with Jemma following a fundraising event her husband had organised in aid of Surf, a charity set up for survivors of the Rwandan genocide – and planted the seeds for her debut novel, After Before, which is published this week.
Revolving around three women from very different backgrounds, the book explores betrayal by others, by themselves and by life itself. But as their paths interweave, they are forced to confront their demons and find a way to somehow move forward.
Her first protagonist, Emily, immigrated to Britain from Rwanda hoping to start life away from her traumatic past. While researching her book, Jemma contacted Surf and they put her in touch with a survivor now living in Oxford.
The mother-of-two, who is an established journalist and Jewish News columnist, tells me: "She was very open and gave me a huge insight into what had happened to her. I was particularly interested in the after-effects of genocide, being able to survive and move on afterwards.
There is a poignancy in the release of Jemma's book in the same year marking 20 years since the genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority. Between April and July 1994, up to one million Rwandans (including 70 percent of the Tutsi population) were killed, while more than 250,000 women were raped and purposely infected with HIV.
I ask Jemma, who studied social and political sciences at Cambridge University, why she was particularly drawn to this tragedy of recent times.
Aside from Emily, After Before also explores the lives of Lynn, who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and is consumed by resentment about what she hasn't achieved in life and Vera, a born-again Christian struggling to live a moral life against the backdrop of her not-so-moral past.
All three characters and their storylines are quite far removed from Jemma's own life – but that's something she was unafraid to tackle for her debut novel. "There's that old adage, 'write about what you know', but for me I actually found it far easier to write something totally different," explains Jemma.
Jemma tells me she is "proud" of her novel and has received "huge support" from her family, including her father, composer Jeff Wayne.
• After Before by Jemma Wayne is published by Legend Press, priced £7.99. It is available now.
