In 1987, the Nike Air Max 1 debuted with visible air in its heel, allowing fans more than just the feel of Air-Sole comfort—suddenly they could see it. Since then, next-generation Nike Air Max shoes have become a hit with athletes and collectors by offering striking colour combinations and reliable, lightweight cushioning.Flyknit Origins Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners craving a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability—all in one layer—was refined. The result is a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper.

You are here: Law Guide >> Consumer Protection >> Introduction

Almost every aspect of our lives is governed by some kind of contract. Imagine if there was no guarantee that the house you move into today would still belong to you in a week. Or if you went to work every day only to discover that your company decided not to pay you. When you write a check, you have a contract with your bank which says that you have the money to cover the check and will honor it. When you go to the dry cleaners, you have a contract which says that they will return your clothes clean and in one piece. Contracts give us piece of mind.

Because our lives are so entrenched in contractual matters, it is important to understand exactly what actions or inactions constitute a contract and how to get out of a bad one.

You are here: Law Guide >> The Legal System >> Selecting a Lawyer

Selecting a Lawyer

Choosing a competent attorney to represent you on a legal matter is one of the most important decisions you may make. Because most people are rarely involved in lawsuits, being involved in one is typically stressful and traumatic. A good lawyer will give you confidence and make litigation more bearable.

Laws allow attorneys to advertise on the radio and television, in newspapers and phone books, and on billboards. It is not recommended that you choose a lawyer based on his advertisement. However, the advertisement may be a helpful starting place. For instance, you can find out if the lawyer has a certified specialty, get access to the firm’s Web site and perhaps get information on fees from an advertisement.

TIP: Phone books typically list attorneys by their specialty or board certification. This is important information because attorneys board certified in a certain field are perceived as being more qualified. Additionally, complex cases (mineral law, patents, appeals) are generally better served by a board-certified lawyer in that specialty.

It never hurts to use an Internet search engine to compile a list of possible attorneys in your area. You can then search a single attorney’s name to find papers or legal articles she has written as well as cases she has handled.

TIP: There are a tremendous number of Web sites that promise attorney referrals or list lawyers supposedly competent in their field. Do not use these Web sites to find an attorney. Remember the attorneys utilizing the Web sites are simply paid advertisers. Do not expect to find an attorney by filling out a form and checking off your "issue." Selecting an attorney is not like shopping for a car online. No form can unearth the right "make and model" lawyer for your situation.

Talking to family, friends and colleagues is an excellent way to find an attorney. These people have had dealings with specific attorneys and can tell you what their experiences were with that lawyer.

All states maintain an official Web site listing attorneys licensed to practice law in that state. The Web site should have information on the attorney’s years in practice, specializations, the law school she attended and whether any disciplinary actions have ever been initiated against her.

TIP: State bars generally have sections or committees of lawyers who practice in one area. If your case involves a business contract, you can contact the president of the business law or litigation section for some direction in selecting an attorney.

Lawyers practicing in a city or area are usually members of the local bar association. The local bar association has an office that you can contact for a lawyer referral. The referrals simply come from a list. The name you are given is not necessarily an individual personally recommended by the local bar association. He is simply a member who is available for referrals.

How do I know if my situation warrants hiring an attorney?

You should consult with an attorney if you or your property has suffered a serious injury. Personal injuries with pain and suffering and out-of-pocket expenses definitely warrant a consultation (usually free) with an attorney.

TIP: If your business or property is injured or injury is threatened, and your livelihood is likely to be affected, it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible.

TIP: If you have been a victim of discrimination or a civil rights violation, you should first contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the U.S. Office of Civil Rights (OCR). Those Web sites are (EEOC) and (OCR).

I am meeting with an attorney today to discuss my case. What questions should I ask him?

You should ask:

  • How long have you been practicing law?
  • How long have you been practicing in this area (city, county)?
  • How long have you been with this firm?
  • Are you board certified in a specialty and, if so, when were you certified?
  • How many cases have you handled similar to mine?
  • How many cases have you tried in front of jury?
  • Do you usually represent plaintiffs or defendants?
  • Will you primarily handle the case or will it be assigned to another attorney? (then ask the same questions of the attorney who will get the case)
  • Will you take the case on a contingency basis?
  • If not, explain your fees. How is your hourly time segmented?
  • What do you anticipate the expenses (not fees) will be to handle this case? Will I have to front the expenses?
  • Will your paralegal or legal assistant be working closely on the case? Will I be talking to him on a regular basis?

After you have established answers to basic questions, you should question the attorney about the specifics of your case:

  • What do you see as the legal issues?
  • How strong is my case, in your opinion?
  • Do you have a sense that the case can be settled?
  • How much preparation, research, investigation and discovery will be necessary to handle the cases?
  • If I do not want to settle, are you willing to take the case to trial?

You are here: Law Guide >> Small Business >> Selecting a Legal Structure for Your Business

Selecting a Legal Structure for Your Business

One of your first decisions in setting up a business is the legal structure. The options range from a sole proprietorship, which is usually operated by a single person, to a full-fledged corporation that is flexible enough to employ hundreds of thousands of people and generate billions of dollars in revenue.

Each of these types of business entity differs as to where liability resides, the type and rate of taxation and the amount of formal reporting to state and federal governments, among other things.

Your choice will depend on the kind of business you are or will be starting and your vision for the business’s future. If, for example, you are a freelance graphic designer who works alone from home with no plans to expand, the simplicity of a sole proprietorship might be just what you are looking for. As a business becomes more complex—with many employees, a more specialized management team, perhaps with facilities such as a manufacturing plant or warehouse—a more formal corporate structure would be necessary.

This section discusses the major types of business structure:

  • sole proprietorship
  • partnership
  • C corporation
  • S corporation
  • limited liability company (LLC)

TIP: The U.S. Small Business Administration has a wizard to help you in "Choosing a Business Structure." A series of short questions will help narrow your options. See

Beach Barbie

Photos by @ima.mermaid // *Lookbook*
So this is the last of the outfits from my trip to Wales (hence the washed out hair colour...), and boy does it bring back those summer memories. Especially as the sun was shining bright and warm that day, unlike the rain we've been experiencing recently.

To be honest this was one of those unplanned kind of 'spontaneous' outfit shoots, as I simply bought my camera along to take some scenic shots. But in typical blogger 'fashion' ended up shoving the camera into my sisters arms for a 'beach themed' shoot-in the sea. For the occasion I decided to pair my d.i.y'd patched denim shorts, which have been worn to 'death' when the sun is out, with that Barbie logo tee for 'kawaii' touch. Although I have to admit writing this blog post has made me really miss those warm summer days....

Hawks Restaurant

08/02/2011 06:42AM ● By Style

Photo by Dante Fontana

On a hot summer’s night, my guest and I decided to go to Hawks Restaurant in Quarry Ponds for dinner.

Thinking that the restaurant would be quiet on a weeknight, I was wrong. It was buzzing with energy, and almost every table was filled. Near the entrance, customers enjoyed drinks and appetizers at the inviting bar.

As I sat down in a comfortable booth in the dining room, I looked around taking in the sophisticated, contemporary scenery of the lovely boutique restaurant. The menu included dishes prepared with local farm-fresh ingredients. Some of the items change with the season, while others remain constant, such as the popular Hawks Burger. Another option is the chef’s seven course tasting menu prepared for the entire table.

I started off with the Chopped Summer Vegetable Salad. Various vegetables such as corn, jicama, cucumber, red bell pepper and green beans were mixed together with a tasty California avocado mousse and sherry vinaigrette. It was a perfect summer salad...light and refreshing! For my main course, I had the Pan Roasted Petaluma Chicken. The mouthwatering chicken was served over a delightful medley of fingerling potatoes, bloomsdale spinach (an heirloom spinach), housemade bacon, wild mushrooms and baby artichokes. The flavorful stone-grain mustard cream sauce complemented the ingredients nicely. With every bite I took, the chicken melted in my mouth and the saltiness of the bacon added even more flavor.

For dessert, we shared Hawks’ moist Tres Leche Cake served with white chocolate granita and local Bing cherries, which ended up being a perfect finish to a perfect summer dinner. This was not my first time at Hawks, and it definitely won’t be my last!

Gaiman's American Gods

interesting, and i would have to agree. but the tone of AG is nothing like
DWJ, is the stumbling block in comparing them. i guess i'm into style as
much as i am into message. or the importance of style as much as the
importance of message. AG is really rather unlike DWJ's work, in that sense.
not just because it's a book for adults (after all, she has hers as well.)
also, shadow is just a character who would never come within 50 feet of a
DWJ book, i think.

i do like AG though. and i recommend it.

>I thought American Gods was much more like the feel of DWJ's work -- trying
>not to spoil too much -- the theme of what seem to be ordinary people on

On changing names - about as OT as you can get

Charles Butler hannibal at thegates.fsbusiness.co.uk

> There is a tangible benefit to accurate record

I'm sure I read recently (I think in Peter Hunt and Millicent Lenz's book on
Alternative Worlds) that Terry Pratchett, once he has finished his final
draft, shreds all the previous ones with a cry of 'Sod you, literary critics
of the future!' - or words to that effect.

But forget eBay - there's a thriving industry in literary manuscripts and
even moderately successful authors can hope to ease their retirement by
selling their MSS to the Harry Ransom Center or similar places. (I'm working
on Penelope Lively's children's books at the moment. She lives in London and
is happy to be interviewed there, but if I want to see the original
manuscripts I'm going to have to fly to Houston!) Writers of literary as
well as genealogical history like such things to be preserved. Though the
kind of research I do doesn't generally involve me heavily with such things,
I've seen it at close quarters with my wife, who just edited the Journals of
Mary Butts (English modernist writer, 1890-1937) for Yale, as well as doing
her biography a few years ago. For these projects she had to correspond with
a spirit-boggling number of archivists and private individuals, as well as
spending weeks in situ at the Beinecke in New Haven, looking at MSS as well
as letters and rest. If Butts and her friends had left everything to rot on
floppy discs both books would have been a lot shorter and we'd know a lot
less about the modernist scene.

All the same, I don't keep my MSS either.

Happy Birthday Aiden Storm

October 29th was a night Kinga Mielnik will never forget. Hurricane Sandy destroyed her home and in the midst of the howling winds and complete darkness, the nine-year veteran of the New York Fire Dept gave birth to her 3rd son, Aiden Storm. Read more of this story in the SURVIVING SANDY book.

Kinga Mielnik and Aiden pose with Mia Toschi, one of contributing writers, and Sukanya Krishnan from WPIX on the anniversary of the storm.

                    Her choice of the lith printing process to produce her multiple images presents her both with real technical challenges due to the nature of the process and significant aesthetic advantages as the distinctive visual properties of the lith prints produced in this way further removes her imagery from the realism of conventional photographic reproduction."

                    "Susan's images are photo-graphic in the way that light leaves its mark upon the mind's eye.  They are, for me, reminiscent of those rarified graphic impressions I recall when thinking of portraits in the work of Leonard Baskin, the impressions of the deconstructed/reconstructed dolls from Hans Bellmer Die Puppe (1932) or the forensic aesthetics unearthed in a Frederick Sommer photograph.  It is their densely graphic intensity that I am attracted to and surprised by.  Susan's photographic works are about marking with light and inviting the viewer to create something new from their life experiences.  In this way, her dark images illuminate our imaginations."

Sew Thankful

Today is my stop on the Sew Thankful Blog Tour being hosted by Sewing by Ti. I always enjoy when I get to participate in fun blog tours, and I have been looking forward to this one ever since I signed up. One of the best ways to lift your spirit is to take a moment, stop, and think about what you are thankful for. I will be reviewing the two Greenstyle Men's boxers patterns in this post, so keep reading (or skip to that part) to get to the juicy details.

I am SEW grateful for sewing. It as an amazing hobby that is so fun. It has introduced me to people I would have never met without it. My wonderful, amazing friend Aimee whom I absolutely treasure came into my life from a fabric destash group on Facebook! I planned to get photos with her for this post and talk all about how I feel she is one of my biggest cheerleaders. Seriously, she has been around me in the sad times and the great times, the boring times and the exciting times. Sadly, we did not get finished with what we had planned to make in time for this tour (how did November sneak up on us so fast!). Don't worry, though, I am sure we will get to do another pattern test together soon and get to take photos for it.  Here is one of my favorite photos with her that we took this past summer for a pattern test. You can read her post for this tour here

Since I didn't get to take photos with Aimee for this blogpost, I went back to the drawing board to think about who else I am thankful for that I could relate to my sewing. Then, I remembered the multiple times my husband has asked for boxers recently. I told him I would make him a few more pairs if he would model them and let me tell you guys about the patterns I use for his boxers. He reluctantly agreed because I think he knew he would get a lot more and quicker if he modeled! Haha! I am so glad he agreed and hope it encourages you to make some for your husband, brother, or father (or yourself if you are a guy reading this)!

I am so thankful for my husband. He is one of my biggest supporters of my hobby of sewing, blogging, pattern testing, fabric collecting, and everything crafty I do or buy. He knows how much I enjoy creating and does everything he can to make sure I have time to do it. He cleans up after dinner, plays ball with the kids, and bathes my little ones in the evening if I want get away to the office to sew something or write up a blogpost. If I have a pattern test with an upcoming deadline, he will take all the kids on a walk or to the gym. He is always asking me what my schedule is like and letting me know when I have overcommitted myself, and he wants more time with me. He is my best friend and has been for 16 years (we have been married for 12 of those!).

He does look at me like I am crazy sometimes .... I have learned to never tell him I am going fabric shopping while sitting in the office where all my fabric is stored. He looks around at the shelves full of fabric and then looks at me like I am an addict. His jaw literally almost drops. Haha! He says that Aimee and I need to get together and do more sewing and less shopping! I do learn something from her almost every time I sew with her, so that is not such a bad idea.

Sewing Men's Boxers

For this post, I used two different boxer patterns for my husband: the Greenstyle Walbrook and the Greenstyle 400 Oak Street. For both patterns, you measure the part of the waist where the waistband is at, not the natural waist. The 400 Oak Street fits waists from 28 to 48 inches, and the Walbrooks fit waist measurements from 28 to 50 inches

Let's start with talking about the 400 Oak Street. The 400 Oak Street boxer pattern is a looser fitting boxer pattern drafted to work in almost any fabric you want to wear as undies. Use knit or woven. Use an old t shirt, quilting cotton, cotton lycra, jersey, bamboo... You get the point. As long as it is soft, breathes well, and feels nice next to the skin, you are good! I made my husband 2 pairs of the 400 Oak Street boxers for this blogpost. The top pair is in a charcoal cotton lycra, and the mustard pair is in quilters cotton.  I made the XL for the mustard pair, and I sized down to a large for the knit pair *BUT I used the XL waist elastic on both pairs.*

The 400 Oak Street has only two pattern pieces: a front and a back. The back is cut on the fold and does not have a seam. The front has a functioning fly. I added a button closure to keep things together. The pattern also includes a side vent for woven fabric. I did not use the side vent on the knit boxers. The instructions include exposed elastic or enclosed elastic.

Now, let's talk about the Walbrooks. I have made several pairs of these for my son (I blogged about those here). The Walbrook Boxer Briefs are a fitted boxer brief that are meant for cotton lycra knit fabric. The men's Walbrooks pattern is a fitted boxer with a gusset between the legs and a fly that can be functioning or not functioning. The pattern has two lengths: a shorter length and long length. I made the longer length for my husband.

For the Walbrook pattern you will need to cut out 3 pieces: (1) a pattern piece for the main body that is cut on the fold so there is no butt seam, (2) a pattern piece for a gusset for the long length boxers or you cut out the gusset for the short length boxers, and (3) a pattern piece for a functioning fly or for the nonfunctioning fly. The pattern also includes a fourth pattern piece for the binding for the functioning fly. The fly and gusset can be made out of contrasting fabric, which is great to use up fabric scraps.

I asked him which pair was his favorite, and he told me that he loved them all. I love that on the 400 Oak Street that I can use pretty much any soft fabric, and I love how nice his butt looks in the Walbrooks. The 400 Oak Street are really easy to construct since there are only two pattern pieces, but I also love how the Walbrooks are great for scrap busting and offer 2 lengths in the pattern. What I love about both of them is that they are both very inexpensive patterns and can be sewn pretty quickly!

My husband was so appreciative to have some soft new comfortable boxers. I love how grateful he was for them, so maybe I should sew for him more often!

Visit all the other wonderful blogs on this thankful tour and see what they are thankful for too! Here is the schedule:

ProductNation – One Stop Product Review Site for the Indecisive

No comments yet

When I shop, I’ll always do my homework regardless of the value because I simply want to buy the best choice; the item that really suits me. However, I noticed it’s too much of a hassle.

Firstly, there are too many products in the market. Each brand has few range of similar products. Can you imagine how many products I need to compare? Secondly, product reviews are scattered everywhere so if I need to compare 10 products, I might need to visit 10 different websites or blogs! I don’t mind doing it if I have the time, but sometimes when I’m pressed for time and yet I don’t wanna simply buy, I hop on to ProductNation for help.

ProductNation – One Stop Product Review Site

ProductNation - Latest Product Reviews Site

ProductNation – Latest Product Reviews Site

If you’re unfamiliar with ProductNation, let me give you a brief introduction. ProductNation is a Malaysian site that curates latest product reviews and roundups, putting them into useful lists accordingly following these 4 criteria:

  • Reasonably priced
  • In-trend
  • Consumer favorites
  • Availability in Malaysia

The point I love most is that they will ensure the products they recommended can be found in Malaysia. There were times when I finally found the product that suits me only to know in the end that the shipping is a lot higher than the price of product itself. How disappointing!!

This is why I turned to ProductNation when I was researching for toner for oily skin lately. I have too much work to rush and the stress made my oily skin worse. Having limited time to do research, I just browsed through their article for suggestions.

10 toners for oily skin

10 toners for oily skin

In the end, I chose the one from innisfree as I’m more familiar with this brand. A lot of time and effort saved! If you want to save more on your time (and money too!), they did provide a direct link for you to buy it online.

innisfree No Sebum Powder

I also found that they have a lot more articles that give me ideas on what to buy next! Current read is this: Top 10 Best Skin Products in Malaysia.

My aim is to make the photographic session fun and capture your natural expressions, so while I will pose you I am hoping to capture the essence of how you’re feeling and make you look the best I can using light, natural or studio as my paint brush.

"We can't wait to see the pictures, but I just wanted to say a big thank you in advance. We thought the shoot was amazing and you did so well with our daughter (no one can get her to smile, usually)" Emma

Maternity Portraits

If you are thinking about having a maternity portrait session then I advise you to book your session for about 4 weeks (34 -36 weeks pregnant) before your due date to avoid disappointment if the little one decides to arrive early. Earlier when you are having your second, third baby or are expecting twins. We will have a consultation prior to the session so you know exactly what to expect during your maternity studio or lifestyle photo session.

And if you want something really special why not book a 'grow with me' package, whereby you will come into the studio a few times during your pregnancy for a short session to capture the growth of your lovely bump. Email me for more details on the 'grown with me' package as soon as you find out your pregnant.

For all maternity sessions, I recommend plain black and white clothing with no logos. After all, we want to emphasize your beautiful shape and busy clothes can be distracting. However if you're opting for an outdoor maternity shoot , a touch of colour can make all the difference. Don't worry, once you have booked your session I will email across a complete list of do's and don'ts to make sure your session is a success.

A LOT of mums-to-be have stretch marks ... if you do and you hate them then don't let it put you off being photographed. I can airbrush them out, so no one will ever know.

However you choose to be photographed, some mums-to-be want to celebrate their bump fully clothed and others are happy to go for a more "Demi Moore" type session, it will be a fun experience, resulting in beautiful photos that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

I also offer 'Bump to Baby' and ‘My First Year’ packages as well as Gift Certificates, if this may be of interest to you please get in touch for further details.

If you would like to book a session or have any other questions, please get in touch and email me at In the meantime please have a look at my maternity studio or natural-light lifestyle photo gallery. I also publish the images of my most recent shoots on my blog and Facebook page.

After HB2

The Day After the Ruling: What Can You Do?

This morning many of us woke up with heavy hearts in light of the 5th Circuit's decision regarding HB2. The court has decided that the state may enforce the law in its entirety, which today shutters all but eight clinics in the state. That means that people in Texas will have to travel farther to receive care, and it means that abortion procedures will have to be scheduled even later into pregnancies because of a very real lack of access. And this law doesn't impact everyone equally. While the court found that the law did not burden a "significant number" of people in the state, we beg to differ. We currently receive more than 300 calls a month requesting our help. This law will most heavily impact the poor, immigrants, people of color, and young people.

Today we wake up in a state where there is no healthcare equity.

We see people wondering what they can do to help. Texas Equal Access Fund is an abortion fund serving the people in the northern half of Texas. We help people pay for their abortions, and we advocate for the removal of barriers to abortion in Texas. We believe that everyone, no matter their circumstances, should have access to safe abortion, and we believe that without access there is no choice. Right now you can stand with us in a variety of ways.

Join our Bowl-a-Thon: Do you have a business and want to sponsor our bowl-a-thon? Contact Would you like to bowl in our bowl-a-thon on Oct. 26 and raise money for abortion funding while spreading the word about TEA Fund? Sign up here! If you can't bowl, you can throw a few dollars behind a bowler

Become a Monthly Subscriber: We have several long-time supporters who give a few dollars every month to the TEA Fund. We call them our RJ Heroes. You can become an RJ Hero for as little as $5 a month. Or you can make a one-time donation here

Volunteer: We have various ways that you can get involved with the TEA Fund. Click here to find out more.

Register to Vote: These laws were passed by the state legislature. Make sure that you're registered to vote and that your registration is up-to-date. Keep an eye on your state legislators, call their offices, and send them letters. The law may be in place, but we do not have to stop fighting. Learn more about voter registration in Texas here

There are a variety of ways you can help Texans as we face these enormous hurdles to abortion access. The TEA Fund and other abortion support organizations around the state are still standing and fighting, and we invite you to stand with us. We will not abandon the people of Texas to these laws. But we cannot do this without your help.

Nan Little Kirkpatrick

Executive Director, TEA Fund

By 16 April 2018 | Categories: Misc

By Dustin Homer, director: Client Solutions for Fraym

The African socio-economic landscape – much like its geographical landscape – is characterised by extremes. Large, impoverished areas are peppered with pockets of considerable wealth. Informal and formal economies are deeply enmeshed, and equally essential to economic wellness on both macro and micro levels. It’s no wonder Africa is often seen by investors as a particularly tough nut to crack.

But this situation is changing. And Africa is increasingly seen for what it really is: a region of skyrocketing growth and innovation. Africa’s middle class is growing faster than ever – yet targeting this “Goldilocks” market with even entry-level goods and services continues to be a challenge for businesses hoping to capitalise on the opportunity. That’s particularly true for the expanding private healthcare market.

Rising levels of education, improving salaries and rapid urbanisation mean that health insurers and the private healthcare facilities they work with are commanding an increasing share of health services in Africa. These service providers know their markets are small (but growing), and for profitability’s sake, they need to ensure that their locations are within reach of communities that not only require their services but are able to pay for them as well. This is where innovative approaches to consumer data can do a great deal to accelerate the growth of healthcare companies.

At Fraym, for example, we have a product for helping insurance companies understand who their ideal customers are, how much they can spend, and exactly where they are located, down to the neighborhood level. Many insurance companies, particularly those well-developed organisations based in South Africa, are looking to improve their bottom lines in the fast-developing regions of Nigeria and East Africa, with one big player boldly stating that the Nigerian market is poised to overtake that of South Africa before long. The right, invaluable data enables a win-win situation for both businesses and communities then – with insurance services placed exactly where people need them, and at a price point they can afford.

The high-resolution geospatial data and analysis we produce at Fraym – including household surveys, geospatial analysis through satellite imagery, and other demographic and consumer information – allows us to create more specialised and accurate consumer profiles than have previously been possible for most of Africa. With this insight, private healthcare providers can position themselves in the best locations for success – which can come down to the difference of just a few kilometers, considering Africa’s high levels of comingled inequality, and the economic diversity of its urban and rural spaces. In Kenya, for example, working-age adults with private health insurance make up just over 1% of the population – yet this segment accounts for 5% of the urban population of the capital, Nairobi. The same discrepancy is observed in Ethiopia (1%) and its capital, Addis Ababa (5%), and in Ghana (0.5%) and its capital, Accra (2%).

A rising middle class, in combination with cutthroat industry competitiveness and both global and localised economic shakiness, means that the pressure is on for the insurance industry. They need to innovatively take their products down-market – to those people in need of better care and who increasingly have the means to pursue it.

It’s up to private healthcare providers to seize these opportunities and realise the potentially great rewards waiting for both them and their clients. But this will only be possible if their introduction into these new markets is done methodically, and in a way that is informed by the best consumer data available for a continent that has traditionally been viewed as a difficult business landscape. With the right data – creatively applied – these insights can not only improve access to healthcare and chances of business success but stimulate employment and socio-economic growth in a wider community context as well.

I walked through the hall, sliding past people with my helmet still tucked underneath my arm. I pushed the paparazzi out of my way to get to the races. I stopped and opened a door to my right, leading out to a large monster truck arena. I looked around the crowd to see thousands of lights blinking in my eyes. I heard people talking and screaming and singing to 'We Will Rock You' by Queen, stomping there feet and clapping their hands to their thighs to the beat. I turned my eyes back to the arena to see jumps being lined up, cars being driven underneath the jumps for the monster truck drives to jump over. I skimmed my eyes around the groups of men and women, fixing up there monster trucks till I see my baby. I felt a smile spread across my face smiled while I walked up to the men around the truck. I stopped walking a couple of meters away from the front of my beast.

Post-Gathering Picnic!

During the summer we take a break from our normal rhythms to rest and recharge. One way we do that together is by gathering at Chelsea Piers after church and enjoying time together on the grass by the water as the sun sets.

Australian magazine writer rumored to be fired due to pressure from Rockstar

Ahh Rockstar, our paths have crossed yet again. I spent half of January posting rumor after rumor after rumor after rumor about Rockstar Games and their allegedly questionable business practices, and another juicy piece of gossip has now popped up.

Toby McCasker was once a editor for Australian publication Zoo Weekly, but has been shown the door. According to him, Rockstar Australia was breathing down the magazine’s neck for a more positive look at their upcoming title Red Dead Redemption, even going so far as to allegedly send an e-mail which reads: “This is the biggest game we’ve done since GTA IV, and is already receiving Game of the Year 2010 nominations from specialists all around the world. Can you please ensure Toby’s article reflects this – he needs to respect the huge achievement he’s writing about here.”

McCasker went ahead and posted the message on his Facebook page, and was then promptly fired and the e-mail was removed. In an interview following the firing, McCasker states that he “did not sign up to become a journalist to write advertorials masquerading as editorial.”

“This ‘cash for comment’ culture that is fast becoming the status quo within print media bothers me a lot.”

Rockstar Australia has yet to comment on the matter.

Genre: Drama
Written by Hallie Flanagan and Margaret Ellen Clifford
Directed by Ralph Lewis and Barry Rowell

Before the New Deal, Works Progress Administration and Federal Theatre Project, there was “CAN YOU HEAR THEIR VOICES?” written by Hallie Flanagan and Margaret Ellen Clifford. The play, a carefully documented dramatization of a 1931 Arkansas drought, was, in its day, controversial in both form and content as it revealed a rural world of hunger and privation neglected by governmental bureaucracy. With today’s frequent, casual use of labels like “Communist” and “Socialist,” Peculiar Works Project mines this landmark agitprop play to uncover the meaning of such words in an earlier, yet similar era. The news media is constantly reminding us how our current economic situation is the worst “since the Great Depression” — what were the root causes for radical political movements then, and are there parallels today?

Flanagan and Clifford’s play was adapted from a short story by Whittaker Chambers, an avowed communist at the time, although later known for exposing Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy to the House Un-American Activities Committee. (The pioneering Flanagan herself was also later called to testify before HUAC in defense of the political leanings of the Federal Theatre Project.) Chambers’ true tale of desperate tenant farmers inspired a play that was ahead of its time: it predates John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath by eight years and Clifford Odets’ Waiting for Lefty by four. Through today’s lens, Flanagan and Clifford’s dialogue in Voices often reads like a transcript from a political rally — whether Tea Party or Green Party — although it has its base in a depiction of real human poverty and suffering. Artistically, the play was also groundbreaking. It inspired Flanagan to experiment with techniques — documentary theater, multi-media — that later became integral to the Federal Theatre Project’s Living Newspapers. PWP brings this experimentation into the 21st century with its site-specific performance and digital projection, in addition to color-blind, gender-blind and age-blind casting of an 11-actor ensemble performing the play’s 35 roles. The cast will include (alphabetically): Tonya Canada, Patricia Drozda, Sarah Elizondo, Ken Glickfeld, Mick Hilgers, Christopher Hurt, Derek Jamison, Ben Kopit, Carrie McCrossen, Catherine Porter, and Rebecca Servon.

PWP’s production of Voices in the vacant storefront at 2 Great Jones Street in Noho fits perfectly with the company’s long-standing mission to “wake up” non-theater sites for theatrical performance. Although the temporary nature of this performance space is a sign of how far the NYC economy has fallen and the enormous glut of retails spaces that still exist all over town, it’s also in line with a recent popular trend of “pop-up” shops and galleries – in this instance, Pop-Up Performance.

Thanksgiving Wine Selections

by Mark Patykewich on November 21, 2018

Thanksgiving Wine Selections
At Thanksgiving, we have so many different foods and food preparations on the table, it can be hard to find a single wine to choose.  In situations like this, Beaujolais really shines.  In fact, few wines work better than Beaujolais. For whites, consider this wonderful Sauvignon Blanc from the French region of Sancerre.
Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy
Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre
Sancerre is to many the spiritual home for Sauvignon Blanc.  One of the best we see in the store is from Hippolyte Reverdy. His wines combine a richness and a grace that make them stunning partners at the dinner table and a great way to start a family gathering at the Thanksgiving table.  There is a richness of candied grapefruit rind combined with a lift and balance of minerality like fresh water from a limestone spring.  They are deep without being cloying and are delightful either on their own or with some goat cheese or fresh salad. Just over two cases of this delicious wine remain.  $28 a bottle.
Image result for beaujolais nouveau jean paul brun 2018
Note – It is the 2018 vintage
Beaujolais Nouveau is here.  Come find out just how delicious this wine can be. Jean-Paul Brun is a well respected producer in the region and his “L’Ancien” bottling is a consistent store favorite.  Each year, we await increasing quantities of his nouveau as more and more people discover how delicious and fun this wine is.
Brun wants to make “old-style” Beaujolais and his vinification differs from the prevailing practices in the region. He believes that the charm of Gamay’s fruit is best expressed by the grapes’ indigenous yeasts, rather than by adding industrial yeast. Virtually all Beaujolais is now made by adding a particular yeast during fermentation, the reason many have the common aromatics of banana and candy aromas.  Bruno definitively doesn’t do this.  His wines are made to be lively and enjoyable prompting all sorts of lively conversation, just perfect for the Thanksgiving table.  Bright cherries, hints of crushed granite and a lively inviting drinkability. Several more bottles were sold today, but stocks remain – $17 a bottle.
Marcel Lapierre – Morgon 2017
Speaking of Beaujolais, one of my favorite Crus is Morgon.  These wines possess a richness that combines well with the normally medium bodied structure of the Gamay grape.  Few people are more respected for their Morgon than the wines of Marcel Lapierre.
What more can we say about the lovely, impossibly drinkable bottles that have been coming out of the Lapierre cellars for several decades? We’ve happily consumed more bottles from Lapierre over the years than just about any other producer in the region, and it would be nearly impossible to think of a setting in which we wouldn’t want to drink these wines. This wine, from 100 year old vines, is impossibly graceful and pure without ever being light on flavor, vintage after vintage. Mathieu and his sister, Camille, have furthered the great work of their immensely influential father and have continued to elevate the status of the domaine worldwide. For pairings, almost any food will work from brisket, Turkey, left overs and movie night too! $36 a bottle.
As Kermit Lynch himself noted; Nobody’s wines taste like Marcel Lapierre’s. He is the source of a whole new school of winemaking, turning the hands of time back to wine the way Mother Nature envisioned it. Tasting it can change the way you taste wine.”

  • It's been a while...

    Hello to everyone.

    It pains me to say it, but I am pretty sure 98% won't know who the hell I am.

    A few years ago, I was a part of The Cheat Police. Back in the good old days when Sgt.D used to run the show. After he took a cooling off period, I was bumped up to Deputy Chief and I've got to say it's still one of my greatest and most honorable gaming "claims to fame". But sadly I was very young then and had nothing to do but game and catch cheaters. As I grew older (IE, late teens - sorry older members :P ) I had more things to do and gaming was slowly pushed to the bottom of the pile
    I'm still working just as hard, if not harder doing much bigger and better things but I am trying my hardest to make time for a quick game here and there. So maybe you'll see me on the battlefield.

    It really is great to see this place still going and the support just as strong! Also, its great to see Sgt.D back on the scene. he was an idol of mine back in the day and I was gutted when he bowed down, it is great to see him back though.

    Just thought I'd pop my head back up to the surface and say hello!

    Over and out.

    Edit: Better change my sig as I'm no longer Deputy and I'm now the 2nd longest member now D is back

    Re: It's been a while...

    Hi Drew! Welcome back! I don't know if you noticed or not, but Sgt. D stepped down and I took over the reigns and have full run of TCP now.

      Re: It's been a while...

      You can change your sig again coz you're now the 3rd longest member ...
      As one of the "founding fathers" I've been roaming this website since 2003 (NOW I FEEL OLD LOL)

OOTD menswear parka coat Nobis Beast From The East

Nothing like an arctic blast to test your style mettle. TheChicGeek decided to face the 'Beast From The East', face-on, in a Nobis 'Heritage' parka. Nothing will stop TheChicGeek on his style quest to make the world of menswear a better and more refined place.

The primary red of the parka contrasts well against the white, wintry backdrop, and, like a style beacon, shines bright when teamed with other primary sportswear and accessorises. Add a pair of chic hiking boots and this beast has been well and truly beaten!

ChicGeek Comment Russian Doll Brands

Vision Sportswear at Topman

Walking into Topman’s Oxford Circus flagship, a couple of weeks ago, there was a collection of bought-in brands such as Nicce, Le Coq Sportif and Champion, in an area on the first floor. All familiar, all offering the current taste for branded clothing.

Left - Vision Streetwear - Scarf £30

There was a large section for a brand I hadn’t heard of called “Vision”. All Balenciaga-type logo tops and branded football scarves, the product was good and definitely where we are right now and what guys want to buy.

I always like retailers to surprise me and give me things I hadn’t heard of before. I just thought it was a street/sportswear brand that was yet to jump onto my radar.

I went to the Topman SS18 press day, the following week, and there was a special area for “Vision” and, then, the penny dropped: this must be an in-house brand.

It’s clever. It allows brands to do something different, have a clean creative sheet and for it to be detached from the parent brand. It can also, unlike the main brand, be disposed of the minute it starts to wobble. Easy come, easy go.

People are much more open to fresh brands and this is the future for high-street retail. Secretive in-house brands, that look like they’ve been created by a young, dynamic group of creatives rather than be tainted by the connotations of the parent brand. TK Maxx have been doing it for years.

HIIT Burton Sportswear Russian Doll BrandsAnd this takes me to HIIT. A new sportswear focussed brand under Burton’s umbrella. I’m much more likely to get excited about HIIT - it looks really good BTW - than “Burton Sportswear” for example. It also allows the people who work there to push it and be very current without a buyer in the background wailing “It’s not very Burton, is it?”.

Right - HIIT Available at Burton in January 2018

It also allows it to be stocked by third parties such as Zalando and ASOS. It stands on its own right and when its life cycle is over it can be shelved and a replacement or alternative waiting in the wings.

I’m calling these “Russian Doll Brands”: brands within brands offering a new niche and more fashion forward or specialised clothing.

What these do is represent the shortening lives of brand and how they can easily come and go and also, it’s a step away from “collaborations” which many consumers and brands have grown tired of.

Correction - Vision is owned by Authentic Brands Group, a brand development, marketing and entertainment company, which owns a global portfolio of lifestyle, sports, and celebrity and entertainment brands. It is exclusive to Topman in the UK and US, but not in Japan.

Why Clinical Researchers Should Utilize LinkedIn Video For Clinical Research B2B Opportunities

LinkedIn has been tweaking it's algorithm, and one of the most recent tweaks in 2017 has been the prioritization of native video being pushed out on the news feed.  I think there is a tremendous opportunity for clinical researchers to utilize LinkedIn video in order to obtain more opportunities in clinical trials.

Breezeway by Tiny Heirloom

It is abundantly clear that for most young people today, getting on the property ladder is something that is considerably easier said than done and that’s why a little outside of the box thinking is often required. There has been a massive surge in popularity of late for so-called Tiny Homes and it’s because of incredible pieces of design like the Breezeway from Tiny Heirloom that they are being welcomed with open arms.

The Breezeway by Tiny Heirloom, a family run tiny home design team, is one of the best examples of this sort of property we’ve encountered here at Coolector HQ and the classy finish and surprisingly spacious interior really does make it a space in which one can really relax and unwind and, if you locate it in suitably glorious surroundings, there really could be few better places in which to spend one’s time.

Small But Perfectly Formed

Famed for their capacity for delivering exemplary tiny houses on wheels, Oregon based Tiny Heirloom really have excelled themselves with the spectacular looking Breezeway Tiny Home. This magnificent piece of design has been carefully designed to be the ultimate in socialising spots and not just a holiday retreat or hideaway. This has been achieved through the clever use of space and abundance of neat design touches geared towards making it a truly social space for friends and family.

The Breezeway from Tiny Heirloom consists of a modern cabin which has, somewhat excellently, been kitted out with a wet bar and a large garage-door wall which will open up completely in order to make more space for your guests. It is crafted upon a 30-foot-long triple-axle trailer, which means that it can be towed more or less anywhere you’d like. It has been clad in a combination of standing seam recycled steel and tight knot tongue and groove cedar to deliver an unparalleled visual appeal. This is topped off with a stunning butterfly roof which ensures a stylish, elegant look with a touch of rustic charm.

With a really contemporary nature to the interior design of the Breezeway from Tiny Heirloom, this is the sort of entertainment space that will really resonate with those with a love of all things modern and sophisticated. It leaves enough space on the inside for entertaining but also ensures that it has all the fixtures and fittings that you’ll need when you’re using the property as a holiday retreat as well. There is plenty of space for ample seating and a table and the structure has two main doors: a regular wooden door and a large garage-style door, which opens up the interior and provides for a ace indoor/outdoor party space.

Food Thoughts

Needless to say, any space that is geared towards entertaining is going to need a well thought out kitchen space and, we’re glad to report, the Breezeway from Tiny Heirloom doesn’t disappoint. It boasts a spacious kitchen which has full-size appliances which can be used to cook up a storm when entertaining large groups. At the heart of the area is the aforementioned wet bar with a large seating area.

The sleeping loft of the Breezeway, which is big enough for a queen-sized bed, is accessed via ladder and has a skylight which bathes the space with natural light. You’ll also find a TV mounted on a swivel which is connected to a BOSE sound system and it can be viewed from either the bedroom or kitchen. If it’s an entertainment orientated tiny home that you’re after in 2018, look no further than the Breezeway.

Leo is the owner of The Coolector and writes about the stuff he loves. And some stuff that he merely likes.

Tesla Is Working With the Indian Government to Build and Sell Cars

Tesla is on the road to building its electric cars in India.

via Getty Images

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter Tuesday that the electric car manufacturer is in talks with government officials to begin building a local manufacturing plant. The announcement comes after years of requests from Indian people for Tesla to introduce its lineup into their market and after the government offered Tesla land to build one of its manufacturing plants on Indian soil.

Originally, Tesla had planned to launch its vehicles in India during summer 2017, however that plan appears to have gone off-track. Musk previously tweeted that he understood that at least 30 percent of parts used to manufacture each vehicle would need to be sourced locally in India, however at that time, it was not possible to gather all necessary materials within the country. He was later corrected by India's manufacturing initiative, Make in India, citing laws regarding trade and manufacturing.

Of course, these laws would still impact Tesla if they were to import goods for retail, leaving the option open for local manufacturing. The proposed negotiations would likely allow Tesla to import whatever might be needed for manufacturing while still being compliant with India's strict trade regulations for companies based outside of its borders.

Earlier this week, an Audi dealership took to a billboard to pick on the electric car company. Anand Mahindra, CEO of India's top electric vehicle manufacturer, Mahindra, also teased Musk regarding their late-to-the-game arrival in India.

It wouldn't be out of the question for India to relax its trade laws for Tesla to enter the market, especially after the automaker announced its intent to become a global example of a 100% electrified vehicle economy by just 2030. Tesla has attractive offerings to the luxury EV market, which may very well appeal to residents for the right price. India does still have quite some way to go regarding the national charging infrastructure, however. If it wants Tesla and other electric car manufacturers to succeed, it may need to up the ante with governmental incentives in more areas than just manufacturing.

On January 9, The Getty is hosting There Will Be Food event. Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold and multi-tasking food scholar and radio host Evan Kleiman lead a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American cuisine in dialogue with Los Angeles. Joining the conversation will be Ray Garcia, chef at Broken Spanish, Carlos Salgado of Taco María, and Bricia Lopez, co-owner of L.A.’s legendary Guelaguetza. Jonathan Gold once wrote, “If you could design a perfect chef for Los Angeles, he might seem a lot like Ray Garcia.” Salgado has received wide recognition and many honors for cuisine which honors his family’s culture and their hard work by making Mexican-inspired food with a reverence for its provenance.

Anthony Fauci: Wikis

Note: Many of our articles have direct quotes from sources you can cite, within the Wikipedia article! This article doesn't yet, but we're working on it! See more info or our list of citable articles.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ben Carson and Anthony Fauci (right) being announced as a recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on June 19, 2008.

Anthony S. Fauci (born: December 24, 1940) is an immunologist who has made substantial contributions to research in the areas of AIDS and other immunodeficiencies, both as a scientist and as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

Education and career

Anthony Stephen Fauci was born on December 24, 1940, in Brooklyn, New York, to Stephen A. Fauci, a pharmacist, and Eugenia A. Fauci, a homemaker.[1] He graduated from the all-scholarship, Jesuit-run Regis High School in New York City. He went on to attend the College of the Holy Cross and later received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1966. He then completed an internship and residency at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.[2]

In 1968, Fauci came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a clinical associate in the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (LCI) in NIAID. In 1974, he became Head of the Clinical Physiology Section, LCI, and in 1980 was appointed Chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, a position he still holds. In 1984, Fauci became Director of NIAID, where he oversees an extensive research portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious and immune-mediated illnesses, including HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, illness from potential agents of bioterrorism, tuberculosis, malaria, autoimmune disorders, asthma and allergies.

Medical Achievements

Fauci has made many contributions to basic and clinical research on the pathogenesis and treatment of immune-mediated diseases. He has been a leader in the field of human immunoregulation by making a number of basic scientific observations that serve as the basis for current understanding of the regulation of the human immune response. In addition, Fauci has been recognized for delineating the mechanisms whereby immunosuppressive agents adapt to the human immune response. He has developed therapies for formerly fatal diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. In a 1985 Stanford University Arthritis Center Survey of the American Rheumatism Association membership ranked the work of Fauci on the treatment of polyarteritis nodosa and Wegener's granulomatosis as one of the most important advances in patient management in rheumatology over the previous 20 years.[3]

Fauci has made influential contributions to the understanding of how HIV destroys the body's defenses leading to the progression to AIDS. He also has outlined the mechanisms of induction of HIV expression by endogenous cytokines. Fauci has played an important role in developing strategies for the therapy and immune reconstitution of patients with this disease, as well as for a vaccine to prevent HIV infection. His research is concentrated on identifying the nature of the immunopathogenic mechanisms of HIV infection and the scope of the body's immune responses to HIV.

In 2003, an Institute for Scientific Information study indicated that in the twenty year period from 1983 to 2002, Fauci was the 13th most-cited scientist among the 2.5 to 3 million authors in all disciplines throughout the world who published articles in scientific journals during that time frame.[4] Fauci was the ninth most-cited scientist in the field of immunology in the period from January 1993 to June 30, 2003.[2] Fauci has been a visiting professor at many medical centers throughout the country and has given many lectures across the globe. He has received 30 honorary doctorate degrees from universities in the United States and abroad.[5]

Fauci is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Institute of Medicine (Council Member), the American Philosophical Society, and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, as well as other numerous professional societies including the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American Association of Immunologists. He serves on the editorial boards of many scientific journals; as an editor of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine; and as author, coauthor, or editor of more than 1,000 scientific publications, including several textbooks.[5]

Chrome Task Manager

I have already placed a few tips up about Chrome, this latest feature I really like.  By looking at the Task Manager for chrome, you can see what resources a page is using, if you think that a certain site is causing your browser to perform badly, you can see exactly what resources it is using and from there you can kill the window/tab.

On the Mac version of Chrome you can get to this from the Window Menu, from there you can select Task Manager.

On the Windows version then you can click on the Spanner icon in the top, right-hand corner of the screen, then go to the Tools Submenu, from there you can select the Task Manager.

On the windows version of chrome you have the additional benefit of a keyboard shortcut, this is Shift+Esc.

Below you see the two different versions of the Task Manager.

So from here if you think that one the browser if performing badly, you can from here see which tab is becoming a problem, if you see it consuming a large amount of Memory or CPU then you can kill that tab for example without having to close the entire browser.  All you need to do is highlight the issue and click End Process.

You can drill down further to see more information on the memory being consumed, all you need to do is click on the link "Stats for nerds"

This will then show you more in-depth statistics as you can see from the screen show above.

I am always interested in feedback so please feel free to add any comments, or you can mail me  here.  If you would like to submit a quick tip  with full credit and links back to your site then also feel free to contact me.
