Advanced Orthomolecular Research

About Advanced Orthomolecular Research

Advanced Orthomolecular Research was founded in 1991 in response to a supplement industry that capitalized on market trends, did not evolve with the science, and was full of products using low quality forms and small doses to appease the pocketbook at the expense of effectiveness. Since then, AOR has become a leader in innovation and scientific integrity in Canada and around the world, providing you with science-backed supplements that work.

The scientific integrity upheld by AOR also denotes a social and environmental responsibility that is not often considered in the natural health product industry. By relying on solid science rather than following popular market trends and hype, natural resources are preserved and consumers are not deceived.
Examples of trends that have threatened species and ecosystems include coral calcium and shark cartilage. The latest trend that could have a potentially devastating effect on our economy and food supply is whole food supplements. The bottom line is that if AOR is not following a popular supplement trend, you can be assured there is a good reason why.

Every ingredient is third party-tested to ensure purity, safety and effectiveness. Each formula is meticulously reviewed and checked to ensure quality from start to finish, with frequent
testing at the raw material (like the original herb) and finished product stages as well as frequent in-process tests to ensure products are delivering exactly what they should. AOR’s self-imposed tolerance limits and standards are higher than any government-imposed standards or industry norms because AOR believes its customers deserve only the best.

AOR is continually implementing new testing strategies to have increased quality control over each step of the process, which benefits the customer in the end. Investing in these specialized technologies and processes contributes to the high standards that can be expected from AOR products, and it is part of what makes AOR a leader in the industry.

AOR is interested in making the most effective, highest quality products available. It takes passion, skill and time to break through barriers that stop certain ingredients from reaching their full potential. The team at AOR is dedicated to researching diverse dosage forms and delivery technologies to make supplements as effective as possible. This is why AOR supplements are created with a concentrated and effective potency that offers the best value, and whenever possible they are delivered in the most convenient capsule count.
AOR doesn't only continuously examine current research, AOR also helps to make the research happen. In AOR’s labs, new technologies are continually being experimented with to continue providing you with the most advanced products available. Outside of AOR’s labs, AOR collaborates with researchers in universities around the world by providing their studies with ingredients, funding, academic support and hope. All of this helps give natural ingredients the kind of scientific merit they deserve, and it forces the evolution, integrity and responsibility of the supplement industry.

Educating consumers is of the utmost importance to us at AOR. AOR is committed to helping consumers understand what makes quality research and effective supplements. AOR strives to empower the customer to discern between truth and unfounded claims and high quality versus low quality because AOR believes that educated consumers can influence the industry to provide better products.

AOR offers its customers a unique and truly orthomolecular approach to personalized nutrition, meaning that you can choose a formulation that best suits your individual needs at the time it is required. AOR understands that because each person’s body chemistry is unique, the same dose or ingredient may not work for everyone. This is why AOR offers such an array of similar and different formulas for the same health concerns.

AOR's mission is to provide unrivalled innovation and unmatched quality in natural health products to its customers. AOR is committed to researching the best that science and nature have to offer. By delivering the ‘right amount of the right ingredients to the right place at the right time,’ AOR offers a unique and truly orthomolecular approach to personalized nutrition for the future.

A few of the supplements in which AOR pioneered

In 1999, AOR introduced the world’s first pure R-alpha lipoic acid based on the most current research. Unlike most conventional alpha-lipoic acid supplements, AOR’s 95% pure R-alpha lipoic acid delivers the most effective form of this valuable antioxidant without the negative actions of S(-) lipoic acid.
R-alpha lipoic acid is a powerful, natural and well-rounded antioxidant with many actions such as repairing nerves, balancing blood sugar, protecting the brain and increasing energy formation in the mitochondria. Regular doses of lipoic acid are recommended for maintaining overall general health while high doses of R-alpha lipoic acid are recommended for the management of high blood sugar, diabetic neuropathy and weight.

In 2002, AOR introduced the world’s first supplemental strontium citrate for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia, post-menopausal women and those at an increased risk of bone fractures. While supplements like calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K maintain bone health, and conventional bone drugs reduce bone degradation, strontium actually helps rebuild bone.

In 2011 Longvida® curcumin was introduced to Canada exclusively by AOR. Curcumin Active is clinically proven to deliver several health benefits as a result of its high bioavailability.
Unlike regular curcumin that is easily broken down by stomach acids, Curcumin Fast Relief particles are resistant to acid breakdown. Even more important is the fact that the curcumin that is packaged in particles, is absorbed very rapidly. This means that they deliver all of the health benefits of curcumin, including pain relief, reduced inflammation, antioxidant properties and other effects much faster than any other curcumin product.

And finally in 2016, AOR was the first to revolutionize digestive health with xylo-oligosaccharide XOS.
Xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) is a prebiotic fibre that promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Many different prebiotic fibres exist on the market, however XOS is different. All other prebiotics promote the growth of all bacteria in the gut: good and bad, but XOS selectively promotes the growth of only beneficial microflora, namely the Bifidobacterium strains.

The Unhealthy History of Avoidable Hospital Harm

Hospital harm is the third leading cause of death in the United States and Canada, taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients every year. Many times that number are injured and often left severely disabled.  The principal causes of these deaths and injuries are medication errors, hospital-acquired infections, falls, blood clots and pressure ulcers (bed sores), almost all of which are avoidable. In any year, hospital harm in the U.S. and Canada takes more lives than the combined toll of strokes, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease, breast cancer, and passenger train, airline and automobile accidents.

Government leaders, healthcare professionals and policy makers have known about the risks of hospital care causing preventable injuries and deaths for well over a decade. In 1999, the U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a ground-breaking report that warned:

Health care in the United States is not as safe as it should be — and can be. At least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as 98,000 people, die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors that could have been prevented, according to estimates from two major studies. Even using the lower estimate, preventable medical errors in hospitals exceed attributable deaths to such feared threats as motor-vehicle wrecks, breast cancer, and AIDS.

Hospital Harm Has Increased Over the Years

Recognizing that “the know-how already exists to prevent many of these mistakes,” the report set a minimum goal of reducing hospital errors by 50 percent over the next five years.  Not only was that target not met, but the number of medical mistakes substantially increased. By 2010, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services said that bad hospital care contributed to the deaths of 180,000 patients in Medicare alone in any given year.  More research led to the discovery of even higher numbers.

As difficult as these numbers are to comprehend, when hospitals are subjected to a more rigorous review of deaths and adverse outcomes, like the kind using the “Global Trigger Tool” (instead of hospital self-reporting), the numbers in every case become stratospheric, suggesting that adverse events in hospitals may be ten times greater than previously measured. In 2013, the number of avoidable deaths from hospital harm in the United States had been estimated to be up to 440,000, according to the work of John T. James. His methodology and conclusion were endorsed by Dr. Lucian L. Leape, renowned as the father of the patient safety movement worldwide.  In 2014, a committee of the United States Senate adopted the figure set by Dr. James.

Canadian estimates cite a minimum of 30,000 patients (UHN, 2015) killed each year from medical errors in the hospital setting. That’s the equivalent of one fully loaded jumbo jet crashing and killing everyone on board every week. Some researchers puts that figure considerably higher. A more recent Canadian study, which did not include the province of Quebec, reported that 1 in 18 hospitalized patients experienced avoidable medical errors in 2014 – 2015. In the U.S., it is estimated that 15 million incidents of hospital harm occur every year. In what other field of human activity are such regularly occurring disasters permitted?

Precise figures on hospital deaths and medical errors are difficult to obtain, given the voluntary nature of hospital reporting and the fact that, in many cases, hospitals simply don’t report when things go wrong.  As Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, noted in a report of hospital care of Medicare patients:

Hospital staff did not report 86 percent of events to incident reporting systems…Further, hospital staff reported only 2 of the 18 most serious events in our sample (i.e., those events that resulted in permanent disability or death). Serious events not captured by incident reporting systems included hospital-acquired infections, such as a case of septic shock leading to death; and medication-related events, such as four cases of excessive bleeding because of the administration of blood-thinning medication that also led to death. Incident reporting systems did not capture any of the five NQF Serious Reportable Events and only one of the eight Medicare HAC events in our sample. Despite the existence of incident reporting systems, hospital staff did not report most events that harmed Medicare beneficiaries. Indeed, some of the most serious problems, including some that caused patients to die, were not reported. (Emphasis added.)

Nothing Like the Impact of Hospital Harm is Tolerated Anywhere Else in Society

This is an epidemic, any way you slice it. Would we tolerate this level of deaths and injuries associated with airline or railway accidents?  If food poisoning were causing a fraction of the number of deaths that occur from hospital harm, would we remain passive?  Would we allow our public leaders to remain indifferent?

In the United States, more than 4,000 errors occur in the operating room every year. These include surgery on the wrong limb, on the wrong site of the body, and on the wrong patient, as well as “foreign bodies,” like towels, sponges and surgical instruments, left inside the patient during an operation.  Canada’s record for leaving foreign bodies inside patients is the worst of all G7 nations, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.  Canada has also set the record for lacerations and punctures during hospital surgery.

Infections pose another serious risk to hospitalized patients. They come in a variety of forms and have a number of different sources and causes.  Their common connection is that they are all acquired inside the hospital. They all place patients at risk.  And they all add to the costs of healthcare.  Usually, they are avoidable.  Hospital-acquired infections have been a problem for some time.  But the shocking facts are that some one million patients in U.S. and Canadian hospitals  acquire these infections each year, and up to 100,000 die as a result.

Canada’s Poor Record for Controlling Hospital Infections

In Canada, one-in-nine patients will acquire an infection as a consequence of their hospital stay.  On that basis, it is Canada’s fourth leading cause of death. Canada’s infection control rate is one of the worst in the industrialized world, according to the World Health Organization.

The poor rate of hand hygiene compliance among healthcare providers in the hospital setting is a major reason for infections being able to quickly spin out of control.  Most hospitals are far from 100 percent compliance in hand hygiene before and after patient contact.  The figures provided are based on hospital self reporting that is not verified or externally monitored.

Awareness, Transparency, Accountability Keys to Combating Hospital Harm

Fortunately, there are exceptions to the situation described above.  Many hospitals do superb work, are driven by a culture of patient safety and gifted with men and women who are a credit to their professions.  These hospitals are working hard to combat this epidemic because they know that harm on the present scale is neither inevitable nor tolerable.  It can — and must — be beaten.

But as long as hospitals can get away with underreporting errors or not reporting adverse events — as long as they cling to a “deny and defend” strategy instead of building a culture of respect, transparency, fairness and compassion — patients in the United States, Canada and elsewhere will remain at risk.  And their families will continue to be plagued by the life-altering nightmare that hospital harm, and its aftermath, can inflict.

Medical errors are an epidemic that is clearly represents a public health crisis. It needs to be treated as such by lawmakers, healthcare policy makers, clinicians and the public.

The Center for Patient  Protection believes that raising public awareness about the risks of hospital harm, while strengthening transparency and accountability on the part of hospitals in their handling of medical errors, is vital to making patients safer. We hope the information on these pages, gathered from discussions with hundreds of patients and families and a review of thousands of pages of patient safety literature, will motivate you to explore the issues further. If you are a hospitalized patient or family member, we hope you will be encouraged to become informed, engaged and protected as you navigate your healthcare journey.

Bizarre In Anambra, As Dead Ihiala Man Refused To Be Buried

By Izunna Okafor

 It was indeed a dramatic and enigmatic show in Anambra State, as a dead man allegedly refused to be buried. The drama which recently played out in Ubahaekwem in Ihiala Local Government Area of the State played to the amazement of everyone, including the mourners and family members of the deceased. An eye witness report has it that the Ihiala man started manifesting when the ambulance brought to convey the corpse from the morgue to his compound (for burial) unexpectedly developed fault. The drama became even more serious and aggravated when each of other ambulances subsequently brought to transport the man also developed fault each time the corpse was transferred to it. It was gathered that after some more unbearable series of the episode, some youths of the community became infuriated, and consequently swung into action. Hence, they angrily forced the corpse out of the casket and dragged it along. "You must go home today; and you must be buried by force," echoed some of the voices heard in the viral video that emanated from the scene.

The Bayonetta and Nier: Automata devs will self-publish two new IPs

Nier: Automata

Platinum Games, the developers behind Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, spoke of their desire to develop their own, original IP last year. In a new interview with Game Informer, their co-founder Atsushi Inaba says the company are in fact working on two new IPs, which they also plan to self-publish.

Ones to watch for our list of exciting upcoming PC games.

That would be a first for Platinum, who have generally licensed other IPs and worked with larger publishers to bring them to market.

Platinum have allowed all team members to pitch ideas for their own game – a challenge to which their staff have risen admirably, producing 70 design documents. Inaba says “we want to motivate the people that work here. We want to give them an opportunity to make their own game.” As a result, Platinum now have “two designs that we’re genuinely focused on.”

With a team of roughly 20 people, expect these designs to occupy the space between indie and triple-A – a field that has been fallow in recent years, but which more mid-sized developers are looking to target after the success of titles such as Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice.

“We can’t put together a triple-A, $10 million-plus game, because we just don’t have that sort of cash as an independent developer. However, we don’t plan to go the indies route with just a few people on a team making a game.”

Inaba acknowledges that “when people think of the Platinum Games brand, they expect crazy hardcore action,” and assures fans that the new IPs will deliver the bombastic, wacky experience for which his company has become known.”We want to surprise them by the fact that we’re doing this independent title and hopefully get support from the fanbase. But we don’t want to surprise them by, say, doing a princess-clothing-making game.”

None of these ambitions will crowd out Platinum’s traditional method of partnering with publishers to make larger games, however: “We will continue to do triple-A games for other publishers, and that’s because, again, we don’t have the cash flow to take on the risk to only do self-published games.” We know a new Nier game is in the works, and Bayonetta 3 is currently in production for Nintendo Switch. We got a PC version of the original, so it’s not out of the question that it comes to our platform.

The High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM) has recently been addressing some major issues in the Nepali peace process. The mechanism has decided to deal with the critical issues in a package. They are:

  1. Review of past agreements
  2. Building the environment of trust and confidence
  3. The move of the President for restoration of the Chief of Army and subsequent political deadlock
  4. Integration of People's Liberation Army (PLA-Maoist Combatants)
  5. Contentious issues in the Constituent Assembly
  6. Power sharing (which indicates a change in the government).
The above critical issues have been interlinked with each other and those are the major issues for the peace process of Nepal. The HLPM is led by the President of the Nepali Congress Party G. P. Koirala in which chairperson UCPN (Maoist) Puspa Kamal Dahal "Prachand" and Chairperson of CPN-UML J. N. Khanal are members. The current political dynamics indicate that the major critical political issues including the contentious issues in the Constituent Assembly (such as state structure, governance system etc.) are going to be dealt with by the HLPM. However, institutions such as the Constitutional Committee in the Constituent Assembly will not be discussed. The Constituent Assembly remains the legitimized institution where all negotiations should take place.

Mr B. Lynn Pascoe, the Under-Secretary General for Political Affairs at the United Nations, made a short visit to Kathmandu recently. His visit happened at an interesting time when the Nepali Congress and the government are criticizing the role of the UNMIN, particularly the integration of the PLA. The government is asking UNMIN to specify the exact number of PLA Maoist combatants inside the cantonments that they are monitoring. There have been suggestions that many of the combatants have already left the cantonments and money allocated for them by the government has gone to the Party's account - a charge the Maoists deny. The government has stopped the salary for the combatants for the last two months, arguing that the salary should be directly deposited to the combatants' personal account.

Concluding his visit in Kathmandu, Mr Pascoe criticised the political parties for blaming the UNMIN as a way of hiding their failures to manage peace process of Nepal. Referring to a clause in the tripartite agreement between the government of Nepal, the Maoist party and UNMIN, Mr Pascoe made clear that the UNMIN cannot share information about the number of Maoist combatants inside the cantonments.

From time to time, the Nepalese army is making a political statement or taking a political stand. This time the army issued an official statement clarifying their position regarding the issue of integration of Maoists. They stated that the are against the idea of integration of the PLA on the grounds that the integration of politically indoctrinated PLA combatants to the Nepali Army may lead to disintegration of the country as well as severely damaging the "disciplined, professional, competitive and apolitical" force. However, the army also states that if the PLA combatants come on an individual basis and fulfill the standards required, there is no objection to them enlisting. Meanwhile, the UCPN (Maoist) party has seriously objected to the political statement by the military, warning that this is a conspiracy to end the peace process.

Despite the efforts of the HLPM, the current political deadlock remains. All the while, the time for making a new constitution passes by.

Mount Everest view from above the Namche Bazaar
October 27, 2015 - Khumjung

Today on the second day of our trek, we have started truly experiencing the majesty of the Himalayas. We started from Monju and entered the Sagarmatha National Park area at Jorsalle. The mighty Khumbiyola straddles the Khumbu valley and is considered the reigning deity of this region; on our right towers  the majestic Kusum khangru.

We crossed the pristine waters of the Dudhkosi and started the ascent towards Namche Bazar. Most of us have been here before but the ascent continues to remain literally and figuratively breathtaking. There is however a major relief midway during the climb, where we get the first clear view of Mt Everest in the distance. The weather was absolutely clear and the view offered was fantastic. Kongde and Thamserku are the other mighty mountains that flank this route. We reached Namche at lunch time and were thrilled to be back at this historic landmark – the heart of Sherpaland. It is a very 'happening' place with plenty of shops offering a variety of mountain wear and equipment and plenty of trekkers milling around.

After lunch we climbed about 200 meters to visit a privately owned museum. Sherpa Sonam Lakhpa has painstakingly collected photographs of prominent Sherpas and mountaineers and has also recreated a traditional sherpa home.
We made good `time today as a team and all the members are healthy and well.

Dim Sum and Spa Time

Wednesday, July 22, 2015

I took the day off today, to spend my birthday relaxed and by myself. But my hubby took me for lunch, I then went to a spa and finished it off with my highlight of every Wednesday, our Grace Notes weekly practice.

We had dim sum lunch in Grand Imperial Restaurant in Sunway Pinnacle. We ordered the "basics" in dim sum: har gau (prawn dumplings), siu mai (pork dumplings) and ham dan sau yuk juk (salted egg and pork porridge). We also ordered the restaurant's specialty, chui pei bao (crispy skin barbecue pork bun).

But the chef also made us two surprise special dishes: deep fried soft shell crab, and pork and peanut soup. They were absolutely delicious.

  1. A late happy birthday to you ,Pearlie.
    I think you are giving me the name of a dish we had at a restaurant that has now closed down. It was a dough parcel filled with small cubed pork meat and a very little sauce. We enjoyed it very much.

  2. Thanks Retha!
    Yea, you must be referring to the Siu Mai.
    A very basic dish in the array of food in the Dim Sum category.

Buyout kings seek U.S. partnerships as deal prices rise — Reuters

(Reuters) – Private equity firms are increasingly seeking to partner with U.S. companies rather than buying them outright, as they struggle to find ways to put their huge piles of money to work at a time when frothy markets have made takeovers expensive.

Major U.S. buyout shops, such as Blackstone Group LP (BX.N: Quote, Profile, Research,Stock Buzz) and Carlyle Group LP (CG.O:Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), are looking at deals such as minority investments in companies or partnerships with companies looking to make an acquisition — types of transactions that they largely shunned before the financial crisis of 2008.

Carlyle, for example, did no such deals in Carlyle Partners IV, a $7.8 billion U.S. buyout fund raised in 2005. But it ended up investing about 15 percent of its $13.7 billion Carlyle Partners V fund, raised in 2007, in such non-conventional deals.

It sees potentially even more such deals for the U.S. fund it raised this year, the $13 billion Carlyle Partners VI fund. In September, for example, it agreed to invest $500 million for a minority stake in Beats Electronics LLC, the headphones company co-founded by rapper Dr. Dre.

“You clearly need to do more of those deals to get your targeted rate of return,” said Peter Clare, co-head of Carlyle’s U.S. buyout group, who noted that the share of non-conventional deals could top 15 percent in its latest fund.

Private equity executives argue non-conventional deals can be more lucrative when full-blown buyouts are expensive. Competition for them is less, as the transactions are custom-made and often do not involve auctions.

“Once we have an investment in a company we will do everything we can to help them achieve their goals, whether it is investing more money or not,” Clare said.

While such non-conventional investments account for a small minority of private equity deals, they underscore the industry’s desire to avoid the debt-fueled excesses of the 2005-2008 buyout boom in today’s environment, in which cheap financing and high equity prices favor selling companies rather than buying.

Private equity firms took advantage of red-hot capital markets to cash out on investments throughout the year, an approach epitomized by Apollo Global Management LLC (APO.N: Quote,Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) co-founder and Chief Executive Leon Black in April with the phrase: “We are selling everything that is not nailed down.”

Deploying capital has been more challenging. Although private equity-backed deal volumes are up 31 percent year-on-year in the United States in 2013 thanks to megadeals such as Dell inc and H.J. Heinz Co, the number of deals went down from 1,917 in 2012 to 1,715 in 2013, according to Thomson Reuters data.

At the heart of private equity’s predicament is a problem of plenty. The industry ended the year with $585 billion of “dry powder” to spend in North America, the highest since 2009, according to market research firm Preqin, thanks to yield-hungry investors, such as pension funds and insurance firms, piling in amid record-low interest rates.

At the same time, these firms have struggled to find enough buyout opportunities to invest in to make the 20 percent annual return they like to promise to the investors in their funds, who are known as limited partners (LPs).

Fierce competition for attractive buyouts and a U.S. stock market rally – the S&P 500 has gained 29 percent this year – means the average price firms pay for leveraged buyouts has increased to levels not seen since 2008, the end of the last buyout boom that preceded the financial crisis.

The median earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple in U.S. leveraged buyouts jumped to 9.8 times in 2013 from 8.3 times in 2012, according to Preqin. A recent research paper by a group of academics at the London School of Economics, University of Oxford, University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Ohio State University, shows funds that buy companies at higher EBITDA multiples tend to report worse returns.

Blackstone Chief Executive Stephen Schwarzman told a Goldman Sachs industry conference earlier this month that when a stock market rallies as much as this one has “and valuations all go up, what we try and do is not load the boat at that period of time because that’s irrational”.

Just this month, Blackstone agreed to invest $200 million for a minority stake in shoe company Crocs (CROX.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz); Silver Lake Partners agreed to offer $1 billion in financing for Avago Technologies Ltd’s (AVGO.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) $6.6 billion acquisition of semiconductor maker LSI Corp (LSI.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz); and Deere & Co (DE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) sold the majority of its equity in its landscaping business to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC for $300 million, retaining a 40 percent stake.

In the case of Crocs and Avago, the private equity firms will not have majority control, but they have strong influence over the outcome. Silver Lake already has a seat on Avago’s board of directors as a result of its ownership of the company between 2005 and 2012, while the Crocs deal gave Blackstone two seats on the company’s board.

Both companies said they would also benefit from the expertise and advice the private equity firms will offer. They also had financial incentives.

Avago’s $4.6 billion loan package backing its acquisition of LSI had a blended interest rate of about 3.5 percent as of the day it was announced, while the $1 billion convertible bonds issued to Silver Lake have a fixed 2 percent coupon.

Crocs said it would use proceeds from its $200 million sale of preferred stock to Blackstone, as well as cash on its balance sheet, to fund a $350 million common stock buyback program.

Following the announcements of these two deals, both Avago and Crocs rallied above the common share price at which Silver Lake can convert its bonds and Blackstone can convert its preferred stock.

The jury is still out on whether such investments will boost returns for fund investors. In the past, such deals have also ended up costing some firms dearly.

For example, Hicks, Muse, Tate, & Furst Inc, one of the biggest buyout firms of the 1990s, spent too much on stakes in public telecommunications companies that did not pay off, eventually leading to the closure of the firm after many investors were disappointed with its results.

Private equity executives tell their limited partners that these deals offer them exposure to companies that they could not get otherwise and facilitate transactions that would not have been feasible without the use of their capital.

For now, fund investors are playing along. Some believe they have little choice.

“LPs are conflicted because they see private equity doing things outside its sweet spot and are not sure how this will turn out,” said Kelly DePonte, managing director at private equity advisory firm Probitas Partners LLC. “But at the same time, they want to be paying management fees on invested capital rather than dry powder.”

p4 fix

Link jobs to the changelists that fix them.

Syntax conventions

p4 [g-opts] fix [-d] [-s status] -c changelistjobName ...

The p4 fix command links jobs (descriptions of work to be done) to a changelist (a set of changes to files that does the work described by a job).

If the changelist has not yet been submitted, the job appears on the p4 submit or p4 change form for the changelist to which it’s linked, and under normal circumstances, the status of the job is changed to closed when the changelist is submitted. If the changelist has already been submitted when you run p4 fix, the job’s status is changed to a default status (typically closed) immediately.

To change a job status to something other than the default status (typically closed) when you submit a changelist, supply the -s option to p4 fix, p4 submit, or p4 change.

Because described work can be fixed over multiple changelists, one job can be linked to multiple changelists. Because a single changelist might fix ten bugs, multiple jobs can be linked to the same changelist. You can do this in one command execution by providing multiple jobs as arguments to p4 fix.

-c changelist

The changelist to mark as fixed.

Delete the fix record for the specified job at the specified changelist. The job’s status will not change.

-s status

Upon submission of the changelist, change the job’s status to status, rather than the default value closed (or some other value as defined in the Presets: of field 102 of the p4 jobspec form).

If the changelist to which you’re linking the job been submitted, the status value is immediately reflected in the job’s status.

If the changelist is pending, the job status is changed on submission of the changelist, provided that the -s option is also supplied to p4 submit and the desired status appears next to the job in the p4 submit form’s Jobs: field.

To leave a job unchanged, use the special status of same.

See Global options.

Usage Notes

Can File Arguments Use Revision Specifier? Can File Arguments Use Revision Range? Minimal Access Level Required

  • Because the format of jobs can be changed from site to site, it is possible that the jobs on your system no longer have a Status: field. If so, you can still link jobs to changelists with p4 fix, but Helix server will not change any of the job fields' values when the changelist is submitted.
  • You can change a fixed or unfixed job’s status at any time by editing the job with p4 job.
  • Another way to fix (or unfix) a job is to add it to (or delete it from) the Jobs: field of an unsubmitted changelist’s p4 submit or p4 change form.
  • You can’t p4 fix a job to the default changelist; instead, add the job to the Jobs: field of the default changelist’s p4 submit form when submitting it to the depot.
  • If you use p4 fix -s status on a job, and then use the -s option with p4 submit or p4 change, the Jobs: field of the changelist’s form will also require a status value (the default value being the one specified by p4 fix -s status). The job(s) will be assigned the specified status upon successful submission of the changelist. If no status value is specified in the form, the error message:

    Wrong number of words for field 'Jobs'.

    is displayed.

    p4 fix -s status, p4 submit -s, and p4 change -s are intended for use in conjunction with defect tracking systems.

    Under normal circumstances, end users do not use these commands, and use p4 submit and p4 change without the -s option. In this case, only the job number is required in the Jobs: field, and each job’s status is set to a default value (typically closed) on completion of the submit.

p4 fix -c 201 job000141 job002034

Mark two jobs as being fixed by changelist 201.

If changelist 201 is still pending, the jobs' status is changed to closed when the changelist is submitted.

p4 fix -c 201 -s suspended job002433

Mark job002433 as suspended, rather than closed, when changelist 201 is submitted.

Requires use of the -s option with p4 submit.

Related Commands

3 Ways Jesus Changes Our Perspectives about Church

3 Ways Jesus Changes Our Perspectives about Church

Discover the Revolutionary Way Jesus Fulfills the Old Testament

When we consider that Jesus came to fulfill the law of Moses and the writings of the prophets, what’s important to understand is that we must see these passages in their proper perspective, informing our perspectives about church today.

This doesn’t mean to ignore what was just because Jesus fulfilled it. It means we should consider the Old Testament in its context. In addition to teaching the people how to worship God and the right way to live, the Law and the prophets also point them to the coming Savior, Jesus.

In Genesis through Malachi, we see repeated allusions to Jesus and the freedom he offers to us now. And if we read the Old Testament with care, we will also see that this future revelation about Jesus applies to all people, not just God’s chosen tribe.

Yes, Jesus comes to fulfill the Law and the writings of the prophets. We’re the benefactors of that. Now let’s apply this to the Old Testament ideas of temple, priests, and tithes. to better inform our perspectives about church.

1. New Temple: Living Stones

When Jesus overcomes death, the veil in the temple rips apart, exposing the inner sanctum of the most holy place. This supernatural rending of the veil symbolically allows everyone direct access to God. No longer is God separated from his people, distant and removed.

He is now approachable by everyone. God ceases living in the temple and begins living in us. Our bodies become the temple of God. No longer do we need a physical building. We are his temple.

Yet we cling to the Old Testament idea of a temple and forget how Jesus fulfills it. Jesus’s disciple Peter helps us understand this. He writes that we are living stones built into a spiritual temple (1 Peter 2:5).

Yes, this verse is confounding.

It challenges our perspective of needing to go to church to experience God. Peter’s words flip this practice, and that’s the point. Jesus turned the old ways upside down and made something new. We must embrace this. We must change our perspectives.

First, Peter says we are living stones. As living stones, we are alive—not inanimate rocks. Jesus may have had this in mind in his rebuff of the Pharisees who took offense by the praise offered by his followers.

Jesus tells them that if the crowd doesn’t celebrate his arrival, the stones will cry out to exalt him (Luke 19:39-40). To do this, the rocks would have to come alive.

As Jesus’s living stones, our actions matter. We live for Jesus. We exist to honor him, praise him, and glorify him. Our purpose is to tell others about him through our actions and—when needed—even through our words. Our faith is alive, and what we do must show it.

Next, as living stones, we are part of God’s holy temple, a spiritual house. We become part of the construction of his new worship space. If we are part of his temple, we don’t need to go to church to meet him.

This is because, as his temple, he’s already in our presence, and we’re already in his. This means we can experience him at anytime, anywhere. Through Jesus, God’s temple exists everywhere we go. This is the first of our three new perspectives about church.

2. New Priests: A Holy Priesthood

After saying we’re living rocks built into God’s spiritual shrine, Peter adds two more mind-blowing thoughts. He says these first two truths—that we’re breathing stones shoring up God’s temple—sets up two more spiritual concepts.

Through Jesus we become a holy priesthood so that we can offer spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus (1 Peter 2:5). If we are truly priests through what Jesus did for us, then we don’t need ministers to point us to God, explain him to us, or help us know him.

God wants us to do that for ourselves as his holy priests.

Remember that back in Exodus, God calls his people to be a nation of priests (Exodus 19:6). But they recoil from that and refuse to cooperate. Later, Isaiah looks forward to the time when the children of God will become the Lord’s priests, ministers of the Almighty (Isaiah 61:6).

At last, through Jesus we’re poised to do just that. And Peter confirms this. As followers of Jesus—his disciples—we’re a royal priesthood. This makes us his holy nation, an elite possession of God.

Our purpose is to praise him for what he did when he saved us from the darkness of sin and moved us into the light of his love (1 Peter 2:9).

But there’s one more thing in this first passage from Peter. As living stones and holy priests, serving our Lord as part of his temple, we offer to him a spiritual sacrifice (1 Peter 2:5).

Though Jesus is the ultimate sin sacrifice to end all sacrifices, we honor what he did by living lives as holy priests that serve as an ongoing tribute to him. This spiritual sacrifice (see Romans 12:1) replaces the animal sacrifices we read about throughout the Old Testament.

This thinking is so countercultural to how most Christians live today that it bears careful contemplation. Through Jesus we can do things in a new way. We are living stones built into his spiritual temple, serving as a holy priesthood to offer him spiritual sacrifices (1 Peter 2:5).

Read that again: We are living stones built into his spiritual temple, serving as a holy priesthood to offer him spiritual sacrifices. Wow!

This can change everything—and it should.

No longer do priests (ministers) need to serve as our liaison between the creator and the created. Instead, all who follow Jesus become his priests, a nation of priests, just as God wanted back in Exodus 19:6.

This means that the laity, serving as priests to each other, should minister to one another, not hire someone else to do it for them. No longer is there a need for paid staff to be the link between God and his people. Everyone can now approach God directly, hearing from him and acting on his behalf.

The Holy Spirit who Jesus sent to us sees to that—if we are but willing to listen, hear, and obey what he says.

This is the second of our three new perspectives about church.

3. New Finances: Generosity

Last is that pesky temple tax, which we call a tithe. Today, a church’s building and employees can make up 90 to 100 percent of its budget. But once we remove the facility and the paid staff from the equation, there’s no longer so much of a need for money.

Does that mean we can forget about tithing?

Yes . . . and no.

The Bible talks a lot about tithing. In the Old Testament, God instituted tithes to support the religious institution he mandated for his people. This sacred institution included the tabernacle/temple, the priests, and the Levites.

To extend the financial support of the Old Testament temple and its priests to the modern-day church and its ministers is a misapplication. When Jesus fulfilled the law, he replaced both, turning us—you and me—into priests and making us into his temple.

Instead of the old way of doing things, Jesus talked about helping those in need and being wise stewards (Matthew 25:14-29). The early church in Acts shared all they had with each other (Acts 4:32).

That’s 100 percent. And being a faithful steward of all God has blessed us with also implies 100 percent—all things (1 Corinthians 10:31). We are to use every penny in the best way possible (1 Corinthians 10:24).

Whenever the New Testament mentions tithing, it always refers to the Old Testament practice. Nowhere do New Testament writers tell us to give 10 percent to God. And they never command us to donate 10 percent to the local church. Yet this is precisely what many ministers preach.

Instead we see New Testament commands and examples to use the money God blesses us with to cover our needs—not our wants (Hebrews 13:5), help others (1 Corinthians 10:24), and advance God’s kingdom (1 Peter 4:10).

Rather than tithing to church, we see a principle where everything we have belongs to God. We are to be generous stewards of his blessings, in turn using them to bless others (Genesis 12:2). We must use our resources to help those in need and advance God’s kingdom, not to support and perpetuate a religious institution.

If you feel a responsible use of God’s money is to support your local church, then do so. However, if you think the money is better used somewhere else, then donate to that cause. But never let preachers mislead you—or rile up guilt—by insisting you do something the Bible doesn’t say to do.

This is the third of our three new perspectives about church.

Status Quo Perspectives about Church

Yes, it’s easy to do what we have always done. It’s comfortable to cling to the status quo, but Jesus offers us so much more—and he yearns for us to take hold of it. There is a new way to worship God, to worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24)—and it doesn’t involve attending church each Sunday.

So stop following the Old Testament model of church: going to a building to meet God, revering the clergy, and tithing out of guilt or obligation. Instead, be God’s temple, act like priests, and share generously. This is the new model that Jesus gives us.

So why do we persist in following the Old Testament model of going to church to seek God, being served by a minister, and tithing when Jesus died to give us something new, something much better?

Jesus turned us into his temple, promoted us to priests, and changed the 10 percent temple tax into a principle of generosity.

Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament. He offered himself as the ultimate sin sacrifice and then overcame death by rising from the grave. In doing so, he turned us into his temple, promoted us to priests, and changed the 10 percent temple tax into a principle of generosity.

Read more about this in Peter’s new book, Jesus’s Broken Church, available in e-book, paperback, and print wherever books are sold.

Peter DeHaan writes about biblical Christianity to confront status quo religion and live a life that matters. He seeks a fresh approach to following Jesus through the lens of Scripture, without the baggage of made-up traditions and meaningless practices.

    About The Presenter

    Brittany began her dog walking business while she was attending UCSD. Before she knew it, she was walking 30 dogs/day. The last thing she wanted to do was work on the schedule, create invoices, and get back to customer requests. She felt like she was stuck on a hamster wheel of the daily grind.

    Brittany was on a search for years trying to find the right software solution. It was exhausting to come up empty handed. So, Brittany decided to set out and create a software that was a simple-to-use mobile business platform, Handlr.

When you feel sick, you prefer to sit still. This behavior pattern is not only well known, it even has a name: “inflammatory-induced sickness behavior.”

In the modern world this easily leads to a particularly pernicious vicious cycle. Modern lifestyles lead to metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome produces systemic inflammation, which makes you feel like sitting still. Wanting to sit still makes what would otherwise be the most potent tool for reducing systemic inflammation—exercise—tough to bring to bear.

This rather dense article from back in 2010 describes the problem: Inflammatory modulation of exercise salience: using hormesis to return to a healthy lifestyle. It also proposes a category of solutions: hormesis. That is to say, any of a set of mild metabolic stresses that prompt a response greater than “just enough” to stave off the damage produced by the stress itself.

The result is less systemic inflammation, and therefore less inflammatory-induced sickness behavior, hence an increased inclination to move.

Or, as they say:

We therefore propose that exercise salience, the motivation to undertake physical activity, is modulated by the inflammatory status of an animal, decreasing in an inflammatory phenotype, including the metabolic syndrome and increasing in an anti-inflammatory “healthy” phenotype. The type of phenotype may well be determined by the degree of hormesis, as metabolic stressors, such as exercise, plant polyphenols and calorie restriction tend to induce an anti-inflammatory phenotype.

Besides exercise, the article suggests two other broad categories of available hormetins.

One is related to food, and consists of the obvious stuff that everybody knows: Avoid industrially produced edible substances. Consider such modalities as time-restricted eating, calorie restriction, or fasting. Include foods rich in plant polyphenols. (In other words, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”)

The other is related to temperature: Expose yourself to mild cold and/or heat stress. (Spend time outdoors in the winter. Take a cold shower. Spend time outdoors in the summer. Take a sauna.)

Each of these things will produce some mild metabolic stress. As long as you don’t overdo it, that mild stress will produce a stress response greater than necessary to handle the stress itself, with the side-effect of bringing down systemic inflammation. With the systemic inflammation eased, you’ll start feeling like moving again. That puts the potent tool of exercise back on the table.

Nature has a more recent article on all this stuff, which is sadly behind a paywall.

Eagles mock draft roundup: Draft day edition

Eagles NFL

On Tuesday, we published our final Philadelphia Eagles-only mock draft of the offseason. With the draft beginning tonight, we'll take a peek around at some of the national guys and see who they have going to the Birds at 32nd overall.

Derrius Guice, RB, LSU (Mike Mayock, NFL Network)

He's a north-south slasher and a tough guy. He finishes runs. He's had some off-field issues. The reason I love this pick? Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley will get him going in the right direction.

#JimmySays: Guice is clearly the second-best running back in this draft after Penn State's Saquon Barkley, and should go earlier than this. Will he make it to the Eagles' pick at 32, or even out of the first round completely, because of personality concerns? We'll see.

Sony Michel, RB, Georgia (Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network)

The Eagles have the luxury of taking the best available player at this spot. Michel would be a dynamic playmaker in this offensive system.

#JimmySays: I'm a fan of Michel's game as well. In this scenario, he'd be compared to Derrius Guice for the entirety of his career.

Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU (Charles Davis, NFL Network)

Yes, they signed Mike Wallace this off-season to take the top off the defense, but in an offense that features a lot of quick throws, big-bodied receivers win a lot of the battles to make those catches when they work inside in traffic. Sutton is that type of receiver.

#JimmySays: I think WR is perhaps an underrated position of interest to the Eagles in this draft, but I think there will be better players available here.

Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado (Peter Schrager, NFL Network)

Maybe my favorite defensive back prospect in this draft, Oliver is a 6-foot-tall big body with an insane 80-inch wingspan. Philadelphia already cut Daryl Worley this off-season. Oliver is a guy who can contribute right away.

#JimmySays: This really only makes sense to me if the Eagles have a trade in place for Ronald Darby.

Billy Price, C/G, Ohio State (Rhett Lewis, NFL Network)

Is it a mistake to not put Georgia RB Sony Michel here? Probably, but with Price's ability to play guard and center, Philly gets some valuable depth along the offensive line.

#JimmySays: The Eagles could trade back and get him.

Dallas Goedert, TE, South Dakota State (Curtis Conway, NFL Network)

With Brent Celek no longer on the roster, the Eagles could use another TE to complement Zach Ertz. Goedert can serve as Celek's replacement and be another huge weapon in the middle of the field for Carson Wentz.

#JimmySays: I was originally against the idea of taking a tight end in the first round, but have come around on that more recently, mainly because of the importance of converting in the red zone.

Mike Hughes, CB, UCF (Chad Reuter, NFL Network)

The release of Daryl Worley leaves a corner position open, and Hughes fits the slot role quite nicely.

#JimmySays: Teams will have to feel comfortable about Hughes' off-field baggage to take him in the first round, but he would fill three immediate needs (slot CB, KR, and PR) for the Eagles.

Sony Michel, RB, Georgia (Mel Kiper and Todd McShay, ESPN)

The Super Bowl champs can afford to go best player available here. I'll figure out how to divvy up carries later.

#JimmySays: To note, this was a mock draft in which Kiper and McShay went back and forth and took turns making picks. McShay drafted Michel for the Eagles.

Connor Williams, OT, Texas (Chris Trapasso, CBS)

I've slotted Tyrell Crosby to the Eagles recently. Changing things up, I'm going with Williams. The two are similar, talented, nasty blockers. Williams' 2016 film -- which showed mastery-level pass-blocking -- is part of the reason he's picked here.

#JimmySays: Williams was my pick in my final full first round mock, so obviously this is a very smart pick. ;)

Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado (R.J. White, CBS)

I wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles trade down from No. 32 (maybe with Buffalo?), but after the team quickly moved on from Daryl Worley and his off-field issues, cornerback could be a great position to target with the talent expected to be available in the late-first, early-second range. Oliver gives the team long-term insurance in case Ronald Darby isn't re-signed, and he has the upside to be one of the league's top corners.

Without the tradedown, the Eagles sit and wait until the end of the fourth round to pick up Hall, an incredible FCS defensive lineman who could develop into a much cheaper starting option than Timmy Jernigan down the line. Samuels is an intriguing chess piece for Doug Pederson to move around the formation.

McFadden adds more depth at corner, and he might benefit from some development on the practice squad. Watson is another practice-squad player who could develop into something more with the right coaching. Jackson is a wild card who can compete for the No. 3 role at running back.

#JimmySays: This was actually a seven round mock draft. Here were the other picks:

Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado (Jared Dubin, CBS)

The defending champs land a strong corner to replace the departed Patrick Robinson.

#JimmySays: Again? So that's three for Isaiah Oliver.

Derrius Guice, RB, LSU (Ryan Wilson, CBS)

With LeGarrette Blount now in Detroit, Guice, who has drawn comparisons to Marshawn Lynch, would seem like a natural fit. Yes, Jay Ajayi and Super Bowl hero Corey Clement return (along with Wendell Smallwood) but as Blount proved in 2017, you can never have too many talented backs in a game where injuries can derail a season.

#JimmySays: And Ajayi might not be back in 2019.

Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
Offensive tackle | Interior OL | Defensive end | Defensive tackle
Linebacker | Cornerback | Safety | Specialists

Donte Jackson, CB, LSU (Pete Prisco, CBS)

He is a fast corner who could help alleviate the loss of slot player Patrick Robinson in free agency. The Eagles brought him in for a visit.

#JimmySays: Good job by Pete actually writing about the Eagles' pick this time.

Connor Williams, OT, Texas (Peter King, SI)

But I think the Eagles are much more likely to deal this pick; I just don’t know to whom. They’re seeking a trade—that I can tell you. Philadelphia has no pick in rounds two or three, and the Eagles don’t pick until the end of round four. So as of now, they go from 33 to 129 without a pick. That’s why they’ll be trying to deal all night Thursday. If they stick … The Eagles have a 35-year-old left tackle, Jason Peters, coming off major injury, and starting guards (Stefan Wisniewski and Brandon Brooks) who will be 29 this season. Connor’s the perfect pick for them, in the unlikely event they stick.

#JimmySays: Rare occasion where I agree with everything Peter says here.

Mike Hughes, CB, UCF (Josh Norris, Rotoworld)

Slot corner and returner is the top need.

#JimmySays: I know you're busy as hell, Josh, but can we get more than 8 words? ;)

Sony Michel, RB, Georgia (Evan Silva, Rotoworld)

Philly maintains 3-way RBBC with aggressive, explosive back.

#JimmySays: More love for Sony.

Derrius Guice, RB, LSU (Danny Kelly, The Ringer)

The Eagles got the most out of their running back committee in 2017, but it may be hard to pass up a yards creator like Guice if he’s sitting there at no. 32. Guice has drawn comparisons to Marshawn Lynch because of his tackle-breaking prowess, but he’s versatile enough to be a factor in the passing attack, too. Adding Guice to a backfield group that already features Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement just doesn’t seem fair.

#JimmySays: Move love for Guice.

Sony Michel, RB, Georgia (Mark Maske, Washington Post)

The defending Super Bowl champs add a dynamic running back who could thrive as a situational player.

#JimmySays: A lot of people on Michel, apparently.

Kolton Miller, OT, UCLA (Jason McIntyre, The Big Lead)

Loaded Super Bowl champs prepare for life after Jason Peters (36 years old).

#JimmySays: Boom or bust player who probably won't be there when the Eagles are picking, though he does make some sense.

D.J. Chark, WR, LSU (Chris Simms, b/r)

Like the Jaguars, the Philadelphia Eagles have the freedom to make a luxury pick in Round 1. If I'm Philadelphia, I'm adding another explosive playmaker at receiver.

LSU's Chark is one of the most underrated wideouts in the draft. If he had a better quarterback in college, this wouldn't be the case. Between missed throws and underthrown balls, Chark saw numerous wasted opportunities that would be touchdowns with an NFL quarterback under center. Too many people are sleeping on him.

I don't get what's not to like about Chark. He's 6'0", ran a 4.34-second 40 at the combine, has a 40-inch vertical, goes up for 50-50 balls and is a great route-runner.

Chark reminds me of A.J. Green when he came out of Georgia in 2011. Adding him to Carson Wentz on this Eagles offense makes too much sense.

#JimmySays: He's 6'3, not 6'0, and I can see where the Eagles could find his speed appealing, but they are holes in Chark's game. The comparison to A.J. Green is a little much.

James Daniels, C, Iowa (Bob McGinn,

Title teams can afford to take a center in the first round.

#JimmySays: I guess, buuuuut would that make sense when the Eagles' current center is a First Team All-Pro? I feel like Bob just stuck Daniels in there for Huddle Report points, because he thinks Daniels could go first round, and didn't have him in there yet. I mean, that's what I did with my Falcons pick last year, ha.

The tale of the tape

• Sony Michel, RB, Georgia - 4

• Derrius Guice, RB, LSU - 3

• Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado - 3

• Connor Williams, OT, Texas - 2

• Mike Hughes, CB, UCF - 2

• 7 players were named once each.
