South West Area Plan kicks off

South West Area Plan kicks off

Rapid growth in South-West Christchurch has led the City Council to roll out its biggest area plan yet to manage development.

Ivan Thomson, the Council’s area development and planning team leader, says getting the South-West Area Plan (SWAP) off the ground is imperative for the future of Christchurch development.

“It (South-west) is the largest growth area in the city and it needs careful planning because of the significant number of people and large private investment we’re going to see there in the next 20 years,” Mr Thomson said.

The SWAP area includes the huge sweep of land from Cashmere in the Port Hills down to Yaldhurst and is bounded by the Port Hills to the south, Curletts Road to the east, Blenheim and Main South roads to the north, and the boundary between Christchurch City and Selwyn District through to Springs Road in the west.

Mr Thomson said the SWAP would provide a more consistent and long-term strategic approach to future development in the South-West as well as help address issues already emerging. As with any growth, there could be some negative impacts on the area, and the SWAP aims to head these off where possible, he said.

Some subdivisions, for example, were situated near the top of the Heathcote River.

“That catchment and stormwater storage area needs to be retained and enhanced and, if done well, these areas can become real environmental assets,” Mr Thomson said.

The original intention of the SWAP is to turn water issues into opportunities to create and incorporate into the design of residential areas some attractive water bodies and ecological “corridors”, he said.

There are also transport issues arising from delays in building the planned Southern Arterial which would bisect the area as the next biggest roading project in the next 10 years. It was also a likely prerequisite for more growth in the area.

In the New Year, the Council aims to gauge South-west community feeling about what they pictured for the area in the next 30 years.

Mr Thomson said a major public consultation process would introduce the Area Plan process and key issues to some stakeholders in December, but most communities of interest would be consulted by early 2004.

Strategy to improve Maori use of pharmaceuticals

Media release

Strategy aims to improve Maori use of pharmaceuticals

Improving Maori health through the use of pharmaceuticals and increasing PHARMAC’s responsiveness to Maori health needs are two of the key areas addressed in PHARMAC’s Maori Responsiveness Strategy.

The Strategy, launched at Parliament today, identifies six major ways in which PHARMAC can improve its responsiveness to Maori.

These include PHARMAC involving and engaging more with Maori in its decision-making processes, improving the flow of data to show if and where Maori have less access to pharmaceuticals than other New Zealanders, and improving PHARMAC’s understanding of Maori issues.

The primary aims of the strategy are to identify ways in which PHARMAC can improve health outcomes for Maori, and to align its approach with other Government health strategies.

“We know that Maori have higher rates of illnesses like heart disease, diabetes and respiratory disease than other New Zealanders, and that their access to pharmaceuticals could be improved,” says PHARMAC Chief Executive Wayne McNee.

“However, we don’t know the exact comparisons or all the reasons why there are differences. One area where the strategy identifies a need for improvement is in data collection so we can understand why there are lower uptake rates for drugs like statins, for example, among Maori than for other New Zealanders.”

The Strategy has been developed through a series of hui in late 2001 at which PHARMAC heard the concerns of Maori face-to-face during consultation on a draft strategy. The feedback from these nine hui, held all around New Zealand, was then considered and incorporated into the final strategy.

Issues raised included barriers to accessing pharmaceuticals such as cost, lack of adequate information or the attitude of doctors or pharmacists; the need to engage with Maori in a partnership relationship; and the role of Maori traditional healing (Rongoa Maori).

“We found the hui to be an extremely valuable experience,” Wayne McNee adds.

“Many of the issues raised we were able to incorporate into our strategy. However some, such as the role of Rongoa Maori and the level of patient co-payments, were outside PHARMAC’s control and we have reported these back to the Ministry of Health.”

2/Maori strategy release

Parts of the strategy have already been implemented, others will take place over time.

PHARMAC has appointed three Maori members to its new Consumer Advisory Committee, and the Minister of Health has appointed a Maori member, Helmut Modlik, to PHARMAC’s Board. PHARMAC will also be seeking to appoint Maori members to its advisory committee on clinical issues, the Pharmacology and Therapeutics Advisory Committee (PTAC).

PHARMAC staff are improving their knowledge and understanding of Maori issues, and information campaigns are being developed that address specific health needs of Maori.

These include the Take Control of Your Cholesterol campaign, which encourages people to make lifestyle changes to lower their overall risk of suffering heart disease, and the publication of a brochure on gout, which was jointly developed with Auckland rheumatologist Prof Peter Gow.

For more information: 021 863 342

Main points from the PHARMAC Maori Responsiveness Strategy

The overall strategy incorporates six strategies, all of which conform to the Treaty of Waitangi framework adopted by the Ministry of Health.

The six strategies are as follows:

- Strategy one involves improving strategic planning processes, such that Maori health priorities are identified, and the contributions of PHARMAC activities to Maori health are clearly specified.

- Strategy two is to improve human resource development by nurturing a culture within PHARMAC that is responsive to Maori requirements, and to develop and implement a training and development programme.

- Strategy three involves improving the processes and procedures that PHARMAC will use to collect and analyse ethnicity data, such that Maori issues are explicitly addressed, and Maori priorities specifically considered.

- Strategy four is to improve activities involving the supply of pharmaceuticals by improving analysis of the benefits of drugs for Maori, providing training to staff and improving and expanding the consultation processes so that more Maori providers, health professionals and representatives are included.

- Strategy five is to improve activities related to public access and use of pharmaceuticals, including the use of targeted promotional materials, Maori media channels and the use of Maori translations to get information out to Maori about what is available and how best to use it.

- Strategy six involves improving Maori representation and participation in key decision areas.

Background Information -- Maori Responsiveness Strategy

„« PHARMAC had been concerned that the benefits of subsidised pharmaceuticals may not be reaching Maori at the same rates as other New Zealanders.

„« PHARMAC’s Maori Responsiveness Strategy was developed to align PHARMAC operations with key Government health strategies, including

- New Zealand Health Strategy

- New Zealand Disability Strategy

- New Zealand Primary Care Strategy.

„« Nine hui were held across New Zealand from September to October 2001 to consult on the draft Strategy.

„« Hui were attended by more than 200 people.

„« Hui were held at:

- Taitokerau - at Waitangi Marae, Bay of Islands

- Auckland - at Awataha Marae, North Shore, Auckland

- Waikato - at Kirikiriroa Marae, Hamilton

- Waiaraiki / Bay of Plenty - at Wairaka Marae, Whakatane

- Taranaki - at Parihaka Marae, Taranaki

- Tairawhiti / Takitimu - at Tangoio Marae, Napier

- Manawatu / Whanganui a Tara - at Takapuwahia Marae, Porirua

- Ngai Tahu - at Rehua Marae, Christchurch

- Te Tau Ihu - at Whakatu Marae, Nelson.

„« Common themes to emerge from these hui included:

- The identification of barriers to access and use of medicines, including health professional attitudes, cost and lack of adequate information

- The need to identify Maori health priorities

- The role of Rongoa Maori (traditional Maori healing)

- The importance for PHARMAC to have partnership and participation with Maori

- Role of Maori health providers as educators

- The importance of research and accurate ethnicity data.

- Feedback incorporated into final Strategy, approved by PHARMAC Board July 2002.

$475 Million To Fight Bird Flu

International Donors Pledge $475 Million To Fight Bird Flu At UN-Backed Conference

New York, Dec 8 2006 11:00AM

The International donor community today pledged $475 million to fight bird flu after a senior United Nations official warned them that the virus, with its possible mutation into a deadly human pandemic, remains a potent threat around the world.

The pledges came at the end of a major three-day donor <"">conference in Bamako, Mali, during which UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Assistant Director-General Alexander Müller said greater transparency and data sharing were critical in combating the disease.

At the same he called on donors to make Africa “a top priority” for resources and technical aid.
“Failure by any one country to contain the disease could lead to rapid re-infection in many more countries. One weak link can lead to a domino effect, undoing all the good that we have achieved so far. Now is no time for complacency,” he said.

Senior UN System Coordinator for Avian and Human Influenza David Nabarro said last month $1.5 billion is needed worldwide over the next two to three years for preventive measures.

Although well over 200 million birds have died worldwide from either the H5N1 flu virus or preventive culling, there have so far been only 258 human cases, 154 of them fatal, since the current outbreak started in South East Asia in December 2003, and these have been ascribed to contact with infected birds.

But experts fear the virus could mutate, gaining the ability to pass from person to person and, in a worst case scenario, unleash a deadly human pandemic. The so-called Spanish flu pandemic that broke out in 1918 is estimated to have killed from 20 million to 40 million people worldwide by the time it had run its course two years later.

FAO says winning the battle against the virus demands a long-term vision with more surveillance as well as stronger emphasis on hygiene and movement control throughout the animal production and marketing chain.

Strict liability for data breaches?
Mark Rasch, 2006-02-20

A recent case involving a stolen laptop containing 550,000 people's full credit information sheds new night on what "reasonable" protections a company must make to secure its customer data - and what customers need to prove in order to sue for damages.

Let's say you open your mailbox, and there is a letter from the financial organization that holds your student loan. "Dear valued customer.." the letter begins, and then it informs you that "due to circumstances beyond their control" your personal information has been compromised. Your name, home address, social security number, credit information, account balances - everything - is now sitting on a computer in Belarus, with the information being hocked for sale on a half a dozen websites. Perhaps thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges have been added to your account. Maybe even a new credit card has been issued in your name to an address in Saskatchewan.

You order a credit report, and put yourself on a credit fraud watch list. You pay for a service to inform you whenever there has been any extension of credit in your name. You call all your credit card issuers and get new credit cards. You cancel all automatic payments on your credit cards, including all your online purchases where your card is stored (such as Amazon and PayPal) and give them your new numbers.

Dozens of hours later, you may or may not have corrected some of the problems created by your lender's failure to protect your data. Finally, you go to your lawyer, and ask the dumbest question you can ever ask a lawyer: "can I sue?" Of course, the answer is always "yes." But the bigger question is, will you win? A recent case from Minnesota (PDF) raises the question of what the duty is of a regulated entity such as this to actually protect their customer's data.

A recent case

Stacy Guin had a student loan with Brazos Higher Education Service Corporation. Brazos employed a financial analyst to review its loan portfolio and decide which loans to buy and sell. The financial analyst worked from his house in Maryland, and had files related to as many as 550,000 of these loans on his laptop at home. Stop me if you have heard this before, or can anticipate what comes next. Of course, the analyst's house was burglarized, and the unencrypted files were stolen.

Brazos then sent out what I call the "Otter" letter. In the movie Animal House, some frat boys borrow and destroy Kent "Flounder" Dorfman's brother's car. Tim Matheson's character, Eric "Otter" Stratton, consoling his fraternity brother, utters the immortal words of faith, "You F&^#ed Up - You Trusted Us." This is exactly the sort of letter that Brazos sent to its customers like Stacy Guin.

Brazos did take other remedial measures. They notified all 550,000 customers of the potential breach. They told customers that they could put a free 90 day security alert on their credit files, and established a call center to track ID theft. Indeed, there were no reported incidents of credit or identity fraud resulting from the stolen laptop, and no evidence that Stay Guin's credit or identity were misused. In fact, what probably happened is that somebody in Silver Spring has themselves a brand new laptop, and never even noticed or used the data that was inside. Nevertheless, Stacy Guin decided to sue Brazos for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.

FTC data protection guidelines

Brazos, as a lender, is a financial institution and therefore regulated in the U.S. under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), 15 USC 6801. The GLBA Security Guidelines require regulated entities to,

"establish appropriate standards for the financial institutions subject to their jurisdiction relating to administrative, technical, and physical safeguards-

(1) to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information;
(2) to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and
(3) to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

The Security Guidelines issued pursuant to the GLBA, 16 CFR 314.4(a)-(c) mandates that financial institutions develop computer security programs, identify foreseeable risks to consumer information, and put in place measures to monitor and reduce the risk of such programs.

Of course, Brazos had a security program, a written security policy, risk assessment reports, and what the court termed "proper safeguards for its customers' personal information" according to an affidavit prepared by a defense expert. Brazos determined that their analyst needed to have access to the information for Brazos' business purpose, and that this was acceptable to Brazos under its security program. What Brazos failed to do, however, was to actually prevent the information from being compromised.

What is "reasonable?"

In order to prevail, Guin had to show that the loan company owed him a duty to protect his information, that the theft of the laptop was reasonably foreseeable, and that Brazos failed to take reasonable efforts to prevent the loss of the data. Guinn would also have to show that this failure was the legal cause of some damage or injury.

The standard of care for the prevention of harm is typically what the law calls the "reasonable man" standard. What would a reasonable person (or company) of ordinary prudence do? In addition, laws or regulations can impose a higher standard of care than ordinary negligence, and failure to adhere to a law or regulation is typically deemed to be negligence per se. So, what would a "reasonable" holder of personal information have done?

EPA to hold meetings on proposed County Road 595; Casperson urges public to attend

LANSING, Mich.— On Tuesday, Aug. 28, at the request of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold an informational public meeting on the proposed County Road 595.

The Marquette County Road Commission has proposed a new 21.4 mile primary county road, running north-south between U.S. Highway 41 and County Road Triple A, through Champion, Ely, Humboldt, and Michigamme townships.

The meeting and subsequent hearing will take place at the Don H. Bottum University Center at Northern Michigan University.  An informational session will begin at 6 p.m. and public comment will begin at 7.

State Sen. Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, is urging the public to come out to the hearing and lend its voice to the large, silent majority that overwhelmingly approve the construction of County Road 595.

“Marquette County is in dire need of County Road 595. Proponents of the project have been patient for many years, and the time for this road has finally come,” said Casperson. “Public safety in the form of decreased response times by emergency vehicles, additional outdoor recreation opportunities for our residents and, also importantly, jobs is what is at stake for area residents.”

The EPA has reviewed the proposed project and has raised questions as to whether there are practical, alternate routes that would have less impact on aquatic resources.

The EPA’s concerns center around whether the road commission’s proposals that the mitigation of damage to wetlands and streams would not fully compensate for the loss of aquatic functions. The DEQ has the authority to issue wetlands fill permits under the Clean Water Act. The EPA retains oversight authority to object to proposed projects that do not comply with federal guidelines.

“I believe the Marquette County Road Commission has done their research into the possible environmental impact of this road and should be able to complete it with minimal negative affect to area wildlife and natural resources,” Casperson said.

The meetings come after a December, 2011 letter at Casperson’s request, signed by 28 of Michigan’s 38 state senators, in support of the EPA giving the necessary permits to construct the road.

OSFP 400Gbps

OSFP 400Gbps

随着移动互联网、云计算、大数据等技术的飞速发展，整个通信行业也急需把网络从40G升级到100G再到400G。OSFP和QSFP-DD已经成为400G解决方案的两个实际上的标准。北亿纤通推出400G 产品解决方案，应用于400G以太网、数据中心及下一代云网络。

  • - 400G OSFP SR8
  • - 400G OSFP AOC
  • - 400G OSFP 2X FR4
  • - 400G OSFP LR8
  • - 400G QSFP-DD SR8
  • - 400G QSFP-DD SR4
  • - 400G QSFP-DD LR4
  • - 400G QSFP-DD AOC
  • - 400G QSFP-DD FR4
  • - 400G QSFP-DD DR4
  • -100G SFP-DD SR
  • - 100G SFP-DD LR

The OSFP is a new pluggable form factor with eight high speed electrical lanes that will initially support 400 Gbps (8x50G). It is slightly wider and deeper than the QSFP but it still supports 32 OSFP ports per 1U front panel, enabling 12.8 Tbps per 1U.

400G Optics require more power than 100G Optics and many of them will not fit into the existing QSFP form factor. Depending on the specific 400G optics technology the initial power projections range from 7.5 Watt to 15 Watt.

The OSFP has an integrated heat-sink that greatly improves thermal performance and enables modules with up to 15W power in a switch chassis with conventional airflow.

Since the OSFP is slightly wider and deeper than the QSFP, it is possible to build an adaptor that supports existing 100G QSFP optics modules in a OSFP cage.

The OSFP is able to meet the projected thermal requirements for 800 Gbps optics when those systems and optics become available in the future.

The OSFP MSA will define the OSFP specification, including the mechanical module, the card cage, the electrical interface, pinout, and management interface.

Saddam Hussein Would Be Envious of Democracy CRH-Style

Posted on: May 21st, 2007 1 Comment

About four hundred well-heeled shareholders showed up for the CRH AGM bang in the centre of Ballsbridge recently. They were ducking no one. The board was on parade. The contrast with the attendance at the recent EBS annual meeting could not have been starker. EBS members look less prosperous, more downtrodden mainly because they are. At the EBS shootout there was sedition in the air. Down at CRH there was middle- class contentment. The shareholders were anaesthetised, high on healthy profits.

CRH was even making the news last week. John Magnier and JP McManus were rumoured to be in the market for shares. Nothing was more certain to provoke a bit of colour and comment at the AGM. The two musketeers had sent the share price north. The board was sure to be forced to clarify the rumours.

Yet not a whisper of the colourful duo surfaced.

Pat Molloy, the departing chairman, ran the meeting with cold precision. He read the mandatory piece of self-praise, bored the shareholders to death, sent them to sleep and then invited questions.

Jeremy Craig, an articulate former diplomat, asked a sensible question about climate change. Molloy was well-greased, probably by the top-dollar spinners who orchestrate all CRH events. Suddenly, the smell of sulphur surfaced.

Seamus Maye, a long-time opponent of CRH, took a calm swipe at the board. He reminded the audience that CRH had been fined for flouting cartel laws, that it faced huge liabilities for this in the US, and that it was involved in illegal dumping.

The shareholders were silent.

Maye even mentioned two taboo subjects CRH’s flirtation with Ansbacher bank; and worse still, the fact that the company faces accusations of destroying sensitive evidence in an important Polish court case. Molloy, soothing the soporific shareholders, offered a blanket denial of the allegations, avoiding the specifics, and moved on.

The docile crowd nodded back into its slumbers. Their attitude was pretty clear; cartels are awful, but not quite so awful if they are your cartels . This cartel has done its shareholders proud. CRH shares have risen by 88 per cent in the last seven years.

A sycophant in the front row countered Maye’s assault by supporting the board. In a stunning non sequitur, he claimed that the company could not possibly be a cartel as it was well-diversified! The same sycophant wanted to second Molloy’s proposals of all the board members standing for re-election. His enthusiasm was so embarrassing that poor Pat was forced to politely seek a different seconder.

The entire set piece went to order. The orchestration of the event was a bit over the top. It was a text-book case in how to deaden an AGM, right down to the top-of-the-range sandwiches and wine.

And then it came to the voting.

Remember, this is the company that annually paid large sums to political parties “in the interests of democracy.” The proxy votes on all resolutions were cast in favour of the board by 99 per cent to one. Saddam Hussein would have been envious of democracy CRH-style. Perhaps former CRH chairman Des Traynor even fixed him up with an Ansbacher account?

Later on, veteran board-hopper David Kennedy, who has been a part-time director for 18 years, was re-elected by 99 per cent to one. Molloy, the ex-Bank of Ireland boss, pronounced his pal, the ex-Bank of Ireland chief, as “effective” according to the board’s evaluations. He gave the same clean bill of health to Terry Neill, the current Bank of Ireland director.

The Bank of Ireland still crops up everywhere you find CRH. The cosy CRH/Bank of Ireland link remains. Guess who is CRH’s biggest shareholder? None other than Bank of Ireland Asset Management, with all of seven per cent of the equity. AIB does not hold even half that amount.

No one at the meeting seemed to recognise the underlying danger. CRH earns a significant percentage of its income in US dollars. The sleep-in failed to zone in on the threat to the company that exists as long as the dollar tanks.

Yet out on the world’s markets the price of CRH shares fell by nearly 1, while the shareholders at home sipped wine, coffee and exotic sandwiches.

Different horses…

CRH could always hold its annual meeting in New York in recognition of its huge US shareholder base and transatlantic earnings. Not on your life. US investors are notoriously penetrating and curious. Better to hold it in Dublin, where the mob is suitably tranquilised.

The secret to a successful AGM is location, location, location.

12 Gifts That Are Acceptable to Give Dwayne Johnson on His Birthday

Happy birthday, Dwayne Johnson! We really hope you get at least one of these rockin' gifts

May 2 is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's 45th birthday, and it was a good year for the star. From being named Sexiest Man Alive to being announced as the highest-paid actor in 2016, Johnson is on fire.

Proud of this one. Very list of the world's 50 most creative. Distinguished cadre of brilliant creators from IBM's Chairwoman & CEO to the Alibaba Group's CMO. Proud to be on this list - not for anything I do, because I just shave my head, smell good and make "yes or no" decisions. I'm proud for our @sevenbucksprod's team who are the most creative and hungriest team in all of entertainment. CREATIVE DIVERSITY has been our company's internal marching orders for 2016 and with our partnerships expanding with FORD, UNDER ARMOUR and the ever expanding digital market, its great for our team to get this kind of recognition by our peers in business and entertainment. I may have a vision, but visions never see the light of day without a brilliant hungry team to carry out and see it thru. It's why we've become the most sought after group in Hollywood. Congratulations @sevenbucksprod. Stay hungry and breaking new and diverse CREATIVE GROUND. And I'll go back to shaving my head. And smelling good. Most times. #AdAge #Worlds50MostCreative #SevenBucksProds #SevenBucksMedia #WME #TheGarciaCompanies

Grateful to share this EXCLUSIVE NEW COVER w/ you. Failure can be a cool & powerful thing.. When I was 15yrs old and started playing football, I had a dream that one day I'd play in the NFL and be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Keep in mind, at 15, I also considered becoming a pro-boxer 'cause I thought I could be beat Mike Tyson who at that time, became the youngest ever Heavyweight Champ, so clearly my goals were extremely ambitious if not crack pipe level impossible. I failed to make it to the NFL (as well as got cut from the Canadian Football League). But my football failure created a drive that still pushes me today. Now years later THE COVER of @SportsIllustrated dream & goal was just achieved. Holy shit! (that's the 15yr old in me talkin';). At the end of the day, I want to surround myself with the hungriest and most brilliant team, because I never want to just play in the game, I always want change the way the game played. And thank God I didn't fight Mike Tyson. #FromAthleteToCEO #ToTheCoverOfSportsIllustrated #SevenBucksProds #1Baller *LINK TO FULL STORY IN MY BIO

So what do you get a man who seems to have it all for his birthday? We've got a few ideas we know he'll love.

More: All the Hottest Dwayne Johnson GIFs for Your Pleasure

1. In-N-Out gift card

Johnson has made it clear that when it comes to his cheat meals, he doesn't hold back. For someone who works as hard as he does, he deserves to go all out, especially on his birthday.

2. A big ol' chicken breast

When Johnson isn't in the cheat day mood, he keeps it strict with lean meats and veggies. I can't even imagine what his grocery bill looks like, but the dude apparently eats like a beast — as in over 5,000 calories a day.

3. A fish detector

Johnson is a fisherman! Who knew? But apparently he's not a very good one, which means he might need a little help in the water.

4. Rock Delta shoes... JK, JK

Johnson's shoe line Rock Delta became the fastest-selling shoe in 2017. NBD. Under Armour sold out in just a day, which means this shoe is hard to get your hands on. Of course, the only person who doesn't have to wait is The Rock himself, who probably has a pile of these shoes in his house already.

Now it's my turn to thank you guys around the world. #ROCKDELTA officially SOLD OUT and has become the fastest selling shoe of 2017. The goal was to make an phenomenal training shoe, BUT I didn't want to just slap my name on a shoe and promote it. That's the easy way and not my style. I wanted to take my time and do it right. Wanted consumers to know that by the time the shoe is delivered to their front door, I've trained hard in them and helped engineer them for over a year. Talk the talk, but more importantly we walk the walk. Globally, we've sold out in one day. ONE DAY. Just incredible and a reflection of the masses of you who are hungry to get after it and be better daily. The shoe business (as me and our team has learned) is an extremely tough and competitive business. We've officially arrived in the game and brought our authenticity with us. 100% SOLD OUT. @underarmour working fast to restock around the world. Thank you for being patient and THANK YOU from me, Under Armour and #ProjectRock. Be unstoppable. #ROCKDELTA

5. Campaign donations

Michael Moore endorsed Johnson for 2020. He's a populist hero. He's also the Sexiest Man Alive. Say it with me now, "President Johnson."

6. Poster of his Sexiest Man Alive cover

He deserves to flaunt that baby for the rest of his life.

7. Jumanji board game

Since Johnson decided to axe the board game from the Jumanji remake, this gift only seems fitting. I'm not bitter or anything...

8. French bulldog puppy

He and his family already have a Frenchie named Hobbs, but I need more pics like this in my life. Those pups are smaller than his biceps. Like, what the hell?

9. "Best Dad" T-shirt

Johnson is one of the best celebrity dads around. I mean, he even dressed up like Pikachu for his daughter. It doesn't get cuter than that. Give this man a shirt.

10. Dwayne Johnson cardboard cutout

Who doesn't want one?

Happy birthday, Dwayne Johnson! We really hope you get at least one of these rockin' gifts
Image: Cardboard Cutouts

11. Classic Baywatch Speedo

Ditch the board shorts. Oh, sorry, this one is more of a gift for me and women everywhere than actually a gift for The Rock.

12. "LOL Ur Not Zac Efron" sticker

Happy birthday, Dwayne Johnson! We really hope you get at least one of these rockin' gifts
Image: Red Bubble

Since Efron and Johnson have an epic bromance, this only seems like the best gift ever. Any time anyone approaches Johnson, he can just hold up this sticker when he doesn't want to talk. It would be uh-mazing.

Blood pace of innovation in the blood of two components: plasma (water) come back in two or three days and red blood cells takes about six weeks to renew them. When there is strong menstrual blood loss, not sure I give enough to resume all spheres and in fact it will give more vulnerable to anemia. So at this point should be decreased training intensity and volume of training.

In other words, at this stage it is best to perform cardio on an elliptical machine / low intensity bike 70-75% HR max heart rate for 30 minutes + reinforcement training, and up to 8 exercises 3 sets of 12 Chazal.

8 remedies for curing constipation

Constipation is when bowel movement becomes hard to pass leading to failure in defalcation. This.This is a condition that is somewhat embarrassing for people but it can be life threatening if not properly addressed.Some major causes of constipation are diet and low liquid intake,medications,functional and endocrine problems.There is no need to feel embarrassed about this condition because almost everyone has gone through it.Here are some remedies of curing constipation.

1. Always take plenty of fluids especially clean water.Take at least ten glasses a day if you are going through constipation.Add lemon to the water because it acts as a cleansing agent.The solution cleans the liver and colon removing and stones and dirt that may have blocked the passage of waste.Water helps things move normally in the passage so that there can be no friction or pain when passing out stool.Avoid or reduce intake of drinks such as coffee,tea and alcohol.

2. Cut out on foods that contain fats and sugars.They only worsen the situation.It is recommended to instead take food containing fibers.Fibers are able to absorb water because they are never digested.The waste thus becomes softer and is able to be passed out.Fruits,vegetables,and roughage contain these fibers.

3.  Doing regular exercises will also help one get rid of constipation.Moving around is useful in keeping the muscles active and functioning in the right way.Being inactive will only clog up the muscles in the colon which eventually lead to constipation.Make sure therefore that the body is regularly working out.

4.  Never ignore the calls of nature.Sometimes constipation is caused by “people not going when they need to go.”This is why your body will send you signals that you need to use the bathroom.If you keep “holding” water will be absorbed making the stool harder.

5.  At times you can encourage bowel movement by doing a gentle massage around the abdomen.This act helps one release toxic air from the body.It is especially helpful for children.It is however not recommended for pregnant women.

6.  Castor oil is a constipation remedy that has been used for thousand of years.It helps the bowels move very quickly without causing any side effects.Castor oil should be taken in the mornings in order to clear the bowels.In addition, it can be chilled and mixed with juice for those who do not like its taste.

7.  More remedies include taking dandelion tea,Epsom salt solution,using greenback powder,drinking prune juice and eating yogurt for breakfast.Yogurt contains live beneficial bacteria that create a healthy digestive system.

8. Prolonged constipation can be solved by taking senna pills.This can be done when the above mentioned methods fail to work.A doctor should however be consulted first because these tablets can have serious side effects like liver malfunctions.
To conclude,constipation can be avoided by eating healthy,drinking plenty of water,exercising and lastly being psychologically fit.Special attention should be given for infants and children because they are more vulnerable to this condition.

Milk and milk products are considered healthy because of the following

1) Milk and milk products help us to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome – when studies show that consumption of dairy products reduces the risk of developing metabolic syndrome (which is a collection of risk factors that occur together).

2) Is a healthy dairy milk helps ?, oral health – Dentists say that milk is safe to drink beverage between meals.

Drinking milk, decreases the likelihood, gum infections and tooth decay.

In addition, phosphorus, casein, and calcium, found in cheeses, protect tooth enamel, injuries.

3) milk and dairy products, can help control the level of calcium which is normal.

4) Is a healthy milk and milk products ?, help prevent heart disease – products of low-fat milk, help balance blood pressure.

They protect against heart disease thanks to the following three things: they help lower cholesterol, help lower high blood pressure, and help in reducing obesity.

When the United States Heart Association recommends consuming 3 servings low-fat dairy products every day.

5) Suitable for milk nutrition completion – from seven different components, it found an insufficient quantity of the diet, then milk, cheese, and yogurt, contain three (calcium, magnesium, and potassium).

6) Milk reduces the incidence of mammary cancer – milk and dairy products consumption, reduces the risk of various types of cancer (especially colon cancer).

7) milk is considered the ideal sports drink – New studies show that milk is the most suitable drink for sports activities.

Drinking milk after having a fitness workout or after strength training, increases metabolism and protein synthesis in which the muscles.

This way the muscles in our bodies are built significantly more, and faster.

8) There are milk and milk products, ingredients are important to our body such as: Vitamin B12, potassium, vitamin A, magnesium, niacin, and vitamin B2.

9) Milk consumption helps to reduce the risk of diabetes (type 2) – as by various clinical studies, consumption of adequate amounts of vitamin D, dairy products, and calcium can help prevent type 2 diabetes.

Although drinking milk helps the return of body fluids after intense exercise it.

Although milk helps rehabilitate glycogen, which is our muscles.

10) milk definitely helps to maintain the normal body weight – there are studies that show that consumption of low-fat dairy products helps for weight loss, lowering body fat, improve metabolism, maintain the new weight.

Finally, milk and dairy products, greatly contribute to physical health, so it is recommended to consume them on a daily basis.

10 tips to avoid back pain

If your job involves prolonged sitting, try to take a break every 45 minutes, stand and anoint your muscles for a few minutes. In addition, make sure the chair you are sitting in the office will be the right height to the table, your hands to be loose on the table so as not to overload them.

• Try to active life as possible. It is important to strengthen the abdominal muscles and erector spinae to stabilize the body, and in addition, it will contribute to weight loss, which further reduce the backbone load.

• Buy a mattress which is not too soft and not too hard to be able to adapt itself to the structure of your body and give him enough support. In addition, the locket on his stomach to sleep without a pillow is recommended.

• Try to avoid heavy lifting. We all have to carry the groceries from the supermarket every now and then, try to distribute the load among small bags. If you are carrying a backpack, try not to burden him with unnecessary weight.

• Wear shoes comfortable. It may not be as fashionable as nice, but orthopedic shoes give good support for your back.

• Stop smoking. This is easier said than done, but smoking is driven in a proper blood supply to tissues and thus increases the chances of back pain.

Eat healthy. Make sure your menu to incorporate all the food groups and provide him all the vitamins and minerals it needs.

• Avoid exposure to cold back and made sure the area to be heated. Lower back pain as a result of the source may also radiate to the buttocks and legs.

• people suffering from stress and mental stress, try to perform breathing exercises lower abdomen. Stress greatly contributes to back pain.

• If you are feeling that when walking you put pressure on your back, use a walking stick to reduce load from the spine.

How to treat sore feet?

Many reasons that the sudden appearance of sore feet. Many times, the phenomenon of leg pain is directly related to our bloodstream. What does it mean? Our body is held very fine texture of blood flow – on the one hand, the blood must constantly flow out of the capillaries. On the other side – he also has to go back to them often. Also, it is very important that there will be an accumulation of fluid between cells in different areas – so just to have the lymph nodes, whose function is to cleanse the body fluids. Sore feet can occur due to various reasons, each of which can make a difference in the bloodstream – obesity, weight loss, heart failure, changes in the kidneys, and more and more things, all affect the flow of blood, causing the formation of edema – and leg pain.

What are the causes for sore feet?   sf_1442880_71519474

However, it is important to say, appearance of leg pain is not eternal – Today there are many methods for the treatment of edema, leg pain to disappear, and to encourage proper blood flow, and the flow of fluid retained in the edema. So how do you turn a blind leg pain? First, it is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle – research has shown that a short exercise, consisting of 30 minutes a day, three times enacted that day – really helps to improve blood circulation, and cause the disappearance of leg pain. Physical activity is very encouraging blood flow throughout the body – and of course the legs. Even wearing a clothing elastic, whose job is to put pressure on regional edema, leg pain helps concealing, as they click on the area and encourage the flow of fluid out.

Another method, very effective against sore feet, is the method of using cold therapy. The cold treatment method, as you might have guessed, indeed uses low temperatures. But what does using cold therapy, and treatment of leg pain performance?

Cold therapy is the best solution for sore feet

Method of treatment is very effective against cold feet pain caused by poor circulation. Actually making cold treatment method is to treat the root of the problem – the return to normal blood circulation, promote blood flow in and out, as well as accumulated fluid, causing swelling. The process of using cold therapy, a small canula inserted into the area where the pain feels. The low temperature causes blood vessels to dilate automatically (to keep warm). Expansion vessel has one meaning – more blood flows through the body. More blood flow means better drainage of fluid in the area where we felt leg pain. So with the cold therapy method, we conceal the leg pain once and for all.

How to get rid of constipation?

So How to get rid of constipation?
Usually the treatment is divided into three levels:

Accurate diagnosis      how to get rid of constipation

The treatment of constipation including early diagnosis, in order to get to the root of the problem. Nutrition will be reviewed initial questioning, habits, blood tests, medicines, and of course we treat emotional factors. Examine whether the constipation is against the backdrop of the surplus or deficit (over-innervation or low tone).

Prescribing Diet and nutritional supplements to treat constipation

Fiber, drink right, essential fatty acids, in accordance with the needs of the client / the exact. When constipation is caused by nutritional deficits, it is necessary to take supplements for a while, until we create a balance with proper nutrition. In many occasions we use plants that help in certain cases , but these do not cause dependence and addiction. Especially severe cases can plant laxative or candles to help primary ports, and then continue treating mild.

Emotional care and proper learning habits

For example, reading services is a bad habit that causes constipation, and may even cause hemorrhoids and a weakening of the pelvic floor. Learn how to handling habits of years are causing the problem and how to take care of them.
Bach, guided imagery and healing are in my experience very powerful tools for the treatment of constipation. Many times you can get rid of chronic constipation that goes with emotional therapy.

How to get rid of constipation during pregnancy?

Constipation can be treated definitely pregnant. Constipation usually begins in the third trimester, but some women suffer from constipation the first week. Pregnancy is particularly important to treat constipation gently and as quickly as possible, to avoid hemorrhoids, fissures, and other problems that tend to appear pregnant and / or after birth, as a result of the load on the hips and across the baby through the birth canal.

Pregnancy constipation treatment include nutritional therapy, herbal medicinal plants (be sure to naturopathic / home specializing in pregnancy, because most plants use pregnant prohibited. Plants to pregnant permitted and forbidden).
I sometimes also incorporates reflexology treatment, which is very effective for constipation (again, strictly certified therapist, because there are points in the foot that can induce labor, and do not touch them)

I quit smoking and have constipation. What to do?
Quitting smoking and constipation – is quite frustrating. Nicotine aids bowel movements, causing gastrointestinal hang cigarettes. Even in this condition can be treated at the clinic, with the help of diet, if necessary plants.

Natural treatment for constipation in children and infants

In infants and children is especially important to address the issue as soon as possible, in order to avoid pain and as a result creating a vicious cycle of pain-fear-avoidance port and back again. In children can be caused by problems in rehab constipation (feeling of pressure, or negative emotions involved in rehab, was angry when a child runs away, etc.), when moving to solid food, a sense of lack of control of the child, stress and of course nutritional and physiological reasons as adults.

I found that my clinic Bach Flower therapy is extremely effective in infants and children with constipation (and sometimes fissure), as well as integration with Bach flowers, cards and therapeutic art therapy.

Movie Review: Born to Fight

By Moira Sullivan
Movie Magazine International
Panna Rittikrai's Born to Fight made in 2004 is a non-stop action thriller with excellent Thai kickboxing sequences set to a riveting rock soundtrack. In a bust gone wrong, where Daew's partner is killed, drug lord General Yang is taken into custody to stand trial in the US. Afterwards Daew played by Dan Chupong is depressed and sits at home drinking beer. When the Sports Authority of Thailand arranges for athletes to travel to small villages to distribute blankets, toys and food, Daew's sister Tunta tries to entice him out of his shell to tag along. The Te kwan do association has asked her to represent them. Tunta is played by Rattaporn Khemtong who is actually on the Thai gymnastics team.
The peaceful time in the village of Pha Thong when the athletes arrive and meet the villagers is warm and friendly. There are even bursts of jealousy when the locals feel that their women are more interested in the athletes. The rituals of the Buddhist village and the strong sense of community where the inhabitants share food, play music and dance is suddenly and dramatically altered.
Suddenly an organized group of Yang's militia dressed in green fatigues and red scarves demand the release of the general or they will send a nuclear missile to Bangkok and kill all the villagers. The anarchists still kill a considerable number of them. The attack is broadcast on the Internet where demands are made for the release of Yang.
After the Thai national anthem is heard on the radio in the town square the athletes try to motivate the subdued people to resist. The momentum slowly builds and suddenly a counter attack begins where even the little girl Baetoey gives the soldiers a bruising. In real life she is Sasisa Jindamanee, the junior national champion in Thai kick boxing. She tells Tunta to execute the Ax of Thor on a woman in the militia who has been especially nasty. Nearly all of the villagers have some command of martial arts, which is pretty amazing. As the grey haired General Wang steps down off his chopper the villagers are in high gear punching the bejesus out of the troops. Daew is an incredible one-man act that kicks the living daylights out of numerous bad guys. Just as the villagers are lined up for a firing square bombs explode rigged to sabotage the enemy troops infrastructure. Soccer balls are pounded against the heads of the mercenaries. Meanwhile that missile aimed for Bangkok is on route. This incredible awakening of self defense for the village of Pha Thong is the high point of the film because after than nearly every baddie in sight gets a beating. With fists raised women and men get the best of the situation. Their determination is an inspiration especially how their agility and bravery outsmarts the gun power of the militia. Panna Rittikrai has also choreographed the films of his protege Tony Jaa in Ong bak 1 and The Protectors directed by Praycha Pinkaew. Most recently Ong Bak 2 and Chocolate were screened at the Far East Film Festival in Udine last month where Panna Rittikrai and Praycha Pinkaew were guests. They have created a female action film where Zen a young autistic girl played by JeeJa Yanin takes on the underground world of her mother and like Daew pounces them to smithereens with Thai kick boxing. What the films lack in acting style and narrative development is more than compensated by the movement and charisma of these Thai martial artists.

Movie Review: War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us To Death

By Joan K. Widdifield, Psy.D
Movie Magazine International
The new documentary "War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" is based on syndicated columnist, media critic, antiwar activist Norman Solomon's book of the same name. U.S. presidents - since the end of World War II - have used the same cynical methods to get the American people to support their war plans. With brisk pacing and taut editing Solomon speaks eloquently; the thesis builds step by step, with troves of archival footage illustrating each point. Sean Penn narrates. Expanding on material covered in "Hijacking Catastrophe," produced by the same group at Media Education Foundation, and covering some of the same ground as Eugene Jarecki's "Why We Fight," and Tonje Hessen Shei's "Independent Intervention," "War Made Easy" is one of those films that should be required viewing for all American voters. It is a treat for history lovers to see Solomon's thesis presented so cogently with the archival footage. The original score by Jon Van Eps and Leigh Phillips adds a contextual layer.

Solomon says that in the past five decades presidents have lied, distorted the truth, asserted they are "reluctant to enter a conflict" and "seek only peace" as they are leading us to war. Media outlets collaborate with the administrations' narratives of their righteous goals. When someone dissents from the wave of propaganda, he is shunned. This is what happened to Senator Jack Murtha of Pennsylvania when he announced he wanted to pull our troops out. He was accused of wanting to "cut and run," and then attacked by the media.

The American media praised Colin Powell when he gave his pivotal presentation asserting that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 Iraq invasion, calling it an open and shut case. Even the so-called liberal media complied. But newspapers from Europe questioned Powell's assertions, which later indeed did turn out to be misleading.

Solomon says that each administration has shown "a steady and remarkably consistent storyline designed not to inform but to generate and maintain enthusiasm for support of war." Repeating the message over and over enough times makes it so. War propaganda is finely tuned and sophisticated and blends into the media terrain. It works to channel fear and anger to perceived enemies and threats.

Founder and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, Norman Solomon is one of the most articulate and courageous scholars of our time who has been fearlessly speaking the truth for the last four decades. "War Made Easy" ends on a high note; Norman Solomon says, "If we understand the deceptions that lead to slaughter, and the consequences of the carnage, we can change the course of events and the events in this country."

"War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" is now playing in select theaters, and is also available on DVD on the website:

I will be interviewing Norman Solomon in a few weeks. For Movie Magazine, this is Joan Widdifield.

Asymmetric Conjugate Addition

By: William Sommer, Aldrich ChemFiles 2008, 8.6, 11.

Aldrich ChemFiles 2008, 8.6, 11.

In the past 5 years, chiral diene ligands have surfaced for a variety of asymmetric transformations. Hayashi1 and Carreira2 pioneered this field by synthesizing chiral diene ligands that formed stable complexes with metals and exerted high catalytic activity as well as high enantioselectivity. Carreira and co-workers reported the asymmetric synthesis of 3,3-diarylpropanals using a chiral bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene as a ligand with a rhodium complex.3 This new synthesis provides access to important building blocks that are otherwise not readily available. The reaction offers a general synthesis of a wide variety of diaryl propanals. This rhodium catalyzed conjugate addition of aryl boronic acids is both chemo- and regio-selective wherein conjugate addition is favored over 1,2-addition. In a typical reaction, 3.3 mol% of the ligand and 3 mol% of the rhodium complex in a mixture of methanol and water is required. Good yields and selectivity were reported with both electron rich and electron poor boronic acids and various cinamaldehydes (Scheme 1).

Scheme 1.(672254)

Following on the work of Carreira and Hayashi, Feng et al. developed a new type of diene ligand based on a nonbridged bicyclo[3.3.0]octadiene framework.4 The two cis-fused cyclopentadiene rings generate a wedge structure providing a chiral environment giving excellent enantiocontrol in the reaction when coordinated to the metal. The activity of the ligand was evaluated in the asymmetric arylation of N-tosylarylimines with aryl boronic acids. Using 3 mol% of [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 and 3.3 mol% of the ligand, a variety of aryl boronic acids and N-tosylarylimines were screened. It is important to note that the reactants screened had diverse steric and electronic properties and showed little influence on the yield and enantioselectivity of the reaction (Scheme 2).

Scheme 2.

To expand the scope of this new ligand, Feng et al. investigated the asymmetric 1,4-addition of aryl boronic acids to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.5 Using 2.5 mol% of [RhCl(C2H4)2]2 and 5.5 mol% of the ligand, a variety of sterically hindered, electron donating and electron withdrawing substituted aryl boronic acids were screened (Scheme 3). The nature of the substituant on the aryl boronic acid had no influence on the yield and the enantioselectivity.

Scheme 3.

Trump Returns to New York To Find Mass Protests Against Him

Trump has been managed to become over the past few month the most contentious and controversial president in the history of the nation.

The presidential campaign he launched was already a hot spot for some of the most antagonistic debates that encompassed every aspect of the countries governance and development.

His supporter base has seen a surge during the presidential campaign as he attempted to war the hat of “patriotism” by appealing to all extreme nationalistic ideologies even when they had a leaning towards radicalism.

The polarization that resulted in several factions of the populations clashing in a multitude of severe confrontation at all dimension of political movements.

Bipolar Welcoming
The newly elected head of state has returned to his hometown for the first time since the 20th of January that marked his ascendance to power via the presidential inauguration.

His comeback was received with a bipolar stance of jubilation of his supporters and mass protests of his dissent. The hometown of the president was notorious for being one of the states that gave him the least votes, as only 1 out of 5 votes went to previous real estate giant.

Security Costs
The opposition has been vocal in New-York about the security costs that surround the family of the Head of the White House.

According to Reuters: “The city has already run up a significant bill for protection of Trump and his family, including about $24 million during the period between his election and inauguration and more than $300,000 a day since then protecting first lady Melania Trump and 11-year-old son Barron, who have continued to live in Trump Tower since the president moved to Washington”

Menu Plan Monday Chicken Stew and Chicken Rice Crock pot meal Recipes

Menu plan Monday
As I promised I would put these up from last week even though It was too late to link.  The blog has to come after my kids of course so I don't always get these linkup posted on time. I will say not having the menu plan ready last week really hurt our schedule.

Things I have in the fridge that I should use this week are.
·        Chicken Broth
·        Cheese
·        Zuchinni

All that is in there are a few leftovers to be used as lunch
Since I usually have my pantry stocked with Staples such as flour sugar pasta noodles crackers rice etc… I can put this with that to make the weeks meals so I don’t waste what’s in the fridge.
Emergency meals this week are: #1 Grilled Cheese  #2 Homemade Fries with chili cheese dip, and some other things that can be thrown in a deep fat fryer.
Read Our Weekly Menu Below:

School snack:  Apple
Breakfast: Cereal
Lunch: Leftover Chilli I ended up making on Sunday
After school snack: The bus route changed so they do not get one on most days Dinner is ready when they get home.
Dinner: Chicken stews a very simple and quick cheat.
Boneless skinless chicken: had Jim cut it in cubes and we put it in the pressure cooker. (I only buy boneless skinless chicken.)
Potatoes I boiled them in 2 things of Swanson Chicken broth
We then added canned peas, mixed vegetables, Green Beans and corn to the broth while the Potatoes were cooking.
Seasoned this with Pepper, Salt, Garlic And seasoning salt
I forgot the onions.  Once the meat is done you mix it in with the rest and cook it until it comes to a gentle simmer.
  • 2 cups of white flour
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 tbsp. soft margarine or butter
  • 1 ½ cups of milk
1.     Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
2.     Cut in butter that's been kept at room temperature or use soft margarine.
3.     Stir milk lightly into the flour   and adjust amount to make sure that you have moist dumpling dough.
4.     Drop dumpling dough into the liquid by teaspoonfuls or for larger dumplings use a tablespoon. Cover your pot with a lid so that the dumplings can steam.
5.     Check them after about 10 minutes and see if they are done by cutting into it. It should be like bread on the inside and not doughy.
6.     They need to cook for a total of about 25 minutes but keep watching them as I am not good at remembering how long things take to cook. Times vary based on heat etc.
