piggy bankThe decision to go ahead with what, for some, may be a considerably expensive aesthetic treatment is perhaps more a question of prioritisation. For example, is the image you present of yourself for public perception more valuable to you than pennies in the bank, a new sofa, a major car repair?

An expensive decision

Not everyone can readily lay out a substantial sum of money for a hair transplant without first weighing up the costs and benefits of the procedure. In deciding to undergo the procedure, there is then the dilemma of whether to have the more expensive FUE, or to make do with a quicker and cheaper strip harvest procedure. Beyond that, there is even the apparently cost-effective option of taking a treatment holiday, and having the procedure done abroad. The risks of a low cost procedure should be should be measured against the potential need for repeat follow-up treatment to correct poor quality work and the costs that may incur.

Why do the fees differ so much?

Generally, a hair transplant can cost anything between £2000 and £7000, depending on the type of treatment you choose, where you go for your treatment, and the extent of your baldness. A Follicular Unit Extraction is the most advanced technique for transplanting hair. It is a process by which hair follicles are removed from the donor site individually and it is painstaking and precise work for the surgeon. Positioning of the follicles on the scalp requires a degree of craftsmanship and skill in the surgeon, to achieve the most effective and natural final appearance.Needless to say, this is the most expensive option, but considered by many as money well spent. Strip harvesting is a quicker, easier procedure, which can leave scarring in the donor area that may be difficult to conceal, and the number of follicles that are harvested per strip may not be sufficient to achieve the best final appearance. Costs are also dependent on the extent of your baldness. If your hairline is only beginning to recede you might only require 500-800 follicles to be transplanted, while hair loss that has affected the crown and requires the extraction of up to 1500 follicles will cost between £2000 and £7500. In the case of someone with extensive male pattern baldness, requiring as many as 7500 follicles to be transplanted, costs may reach more than £30000.

Due to the high costs of a hair transplant, coupled with the impact of baldness on quality of life, confidence, and emotional well-being, discussion with specialists at a clinic about your particular condition and needs are vital to ensure that the decision is right for you. You will also receive an accurate quote based on a thorough examination and you will gain a better understanding of the procedure.

The Bride 5 The revelation of Jesus Christ

Download PDF
 The Revelation of Jesus Christ
The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ was written to reveal things about Jesus Christ. The word revelation is an extension of the word reveal. It comes from the Greek word apocalypse. Apocalypse does not mean the complete destruction of the world or cataclysm.  It means an unveiling; to uncloak and make visible. This is very similar to, for example,  when a civic center has a statue underneath a blanket to be taken off at a certain time to show (reveal to) its’ citizens. There is an unveiling of what’s underneath.

 The Book of Revelation is about; revealing, unveiling, making visible the things about Jesus Christ, not apocalypse in the sense of cataclysms. If the book’s main theme was cataclysms, then that would be the climax of the book but it is not — Heavenly Jerusalem is.
It is interesting that through the Book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, the conclusion of the matter is Heavenly Jerusalem. Heavenly Jerusalem is the theme and the object of the book, not destruction. Just as scripture starts off explaining things in contrasts, so too, does the book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, but instead of  contrasting light and dark, it details the contrasts of the beast and the Bride.

 Colossians 3 says that “since we are risen with Christ, we should seek the things that are above”. We are not to seek the things on earth, as far as the kingdom of God goes.

 Contrast is God’s language which is intended for us, the elect, to more clearly understand our glorious estate. Through these contrasts we clearly ascertain that God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all, to which we aspire.
 We must ask, if the book is the revelation of Jesus Christ, then why has it unveiled a city? I mean, isn’t Jesus Christ a man in heaven waiting to come back to be seen by everyone?
Well, Heavenly Jerusalem is the Kingdom of God at hand. She is “the Kingdom prepared from the foundations of the world”. She is the bride of Christ and the mother of all of His children. She is bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh of the Eternal composition of the Father. This is why Paul said, “We are now fellow citizens, saints and members of the household of God, having been built upon the foundations of the apostles and the prophets with Jesus Christ, our chief cornerstone.” Whose citizens we are, if we have accepted that “we are living stones built up into a habitation of God in the spirit. The prophets are our gateways into the kingdom of God. The apostles works established this fact on which we stand. Of these, scripture says “John the Baptist was greatest of the prophets, but he who is least in the kingdom is greater than he.” Why are we greater? Because we speak  more clearly  of the things they just alluded to. The Father has given us keys to the kingdom, and we have entered in. We know who our parents are. The Kingdom of God is within us and not without. (Luke17.22)

 That which is flesh is flesh, and that which is spirit is Spirit. Heavenly Jerusalem comes down from God of Heaven adorned as a bride. She takes on no physical features such are common to man. “Flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom,” but the re-spirited mind of faith does.

 This is why  the Book of John, talking of being born again, says that “Only those born-again can see the kingdom,” and we do. And, “Only those who are born from above can enter the kingdom,” and we do that as well. To enter the kingdom of God is to partake of your Mother and the Bride of Christ, they are one in the same called Heavenly Jerusalem our mother (Galatians 4:26)

 The light and dark of scripture is to separate the wheat from the tares, the goats from the sheep. Christ told Nicodemus “if I tell you earthly things and you do not understand, how can I tell you heavenly”? This is what scripture does. It provides earthly explanations to spiritual realities. The earthly explanations distract the goats as being real, but the Heavenly explanations free the sheep as being our new residence of “The Kingdom of God at hand” that is within.

 This is the reason why “Those who are born from above can see the kingdom,” and, “enter the kingdom,” because they are not of this world. They do not listen to the voice of cataclysms, condemnation and damnation of end times. We “[h]ave passed from death to life.” (John 3.14)

 The musings of the Beast are the distraction for carnal thinking. The revelation of the Bride is the creme-de-la-creme; the full cropping of what was planted for us the elect to partake of in the here and now as being “at hand”.

The Beast would have us, instead of believing that we become a perfect man in the full stature of Christ now, from faith to faith, as by the spirit and the word, but to wait for another coming and another saving, and that later we enjoy what God enjoys. But not so. By Gods word,  we get that now and fulfill the verse in ourselves that says, “God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness.” He has reserved nothing for a second coming, but  judgment. There is another message that says Christ will come again and save the world  (because the cross didn’t work) with a different saving of another savior. This is “the strong delusion” spoken of in Thessalonians 2:11 “because they loved not the truth. For this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

 For those who read scripture, and jump over the invitation to “The kingdom of God at hand”? God provides them a back door to another kingdom.  A second coming kingdom that relates to time and matter, which God is not. There they can thrive on cataclysms, condemnation, judgments, and woes, with great anticipation. And so they do. To this they are spellbound. By reading the worldly news, they are taken, snared and caught. And what is the grand delusion? Eschatology. End times. Another Jesus with a different saving. Another savior. The one with all the carnal counterfeits but made on earth.

 This is what the sifting process does, it sifts those who look to the end, from those who go back to the beginning. We are those who are from the beginning.

 As the first Epistle of John says, “That which we’ve heard from the beginning which we’ve touched with our hands and seen with their eyes and heard with our ears declare we unto you, so you may have Oneness with us.” Isn’t this what Christ asked the Father for? “Father I ask that those you have given Me may be with Me where I am, that they may be one with us.” The Father granted that request the moment it was asked like “let there be light, and there was light.”

 “For the wind blows where it wishes. You cannot see where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the spirit.” John 3:8

 You see carnal logic is your enemy. “For seeing with their eyes they see not, and hearing with their ears they hear not, for one must see and hear with the heart to learn and understand the things of the spirit.” You must be born again.

 Is your fascination with Jerusalem on earth? Or Jerusalem that comes down from God from Heaven, being bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh? This defines the goats from the sheep — those who were born again, or those stuck in the old human nature.

 For those of us who know Christ, and all the things that are hidden in Christ, we know and ascertain to the fact that Heavenly Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ is hidden in Christ. His Kingdom that is not of this age is Her.  And as Christ is unveiled clearly and completely we see Her there because that is where She belongs. In Christ. That is where we belong. In Christ. All things are new “in Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5.17) She is always new and untainted.

Heavenly Jerusalem with all Her fine attire, Her Jewels, Her crowns and Her people. The people are those of us who have received the unveiling and are born from above, we testify as John the Baptist said, “I hear the bride with the bridegroom therefor my joy is fulfilled.” John’s purpose and his cause was for that only; to unveil the Bride because he was the passing the baton —  from the old Testament to the new Covenant Kingdom which is now in effect.

 Christ said in His word that he “only spoke to the people in parables and without a parable spake he not to the people.”Meaning everything He said in earthly comparatives has invisible counterparts because  all we could see or understand were things that related to our carnal senses, but His Kingdom is not made up of carnal things. He spoke to Nicodemus saying, “If we have told you earthly things and you do not understand how is it that we would tell you Heavenly things to understand.” That is the objective; our crossover.

 And with these words we say that the Book of Revelation is the continuation of Parables as was the law and the prophets. They are physical things that teach of God in contrasts.

 In the Gospels there is an account of a man who is holding a wedding feast for his son. His relatives refused to come  to the feast, therefore the father said, “Go into the byways and into the streets and call to as many as will come and tell them, the feast is now  ready,” showing us here the rejection of the Jews, and the acceptance for anyone who responds to the wedding and the unveiling of not just any couple but Adam and Eve’s replacement; the Mother and Father of this new creation being the Word of God and the Holy Spirit of God. The city of God comes down from God and Heaven adorned for Her Husband, and is not a thing made on planet Earth by man’s devising. Amen. The Bible opens up with the creation of man and the fall of Man. The scriptures conclusion is with Adam and Eve’s replacement; Christ and His Bride. The full unveiling. The book of the Revelation of Christ, His invisible Bride.

 God made man in His likeness male and female.  Christ and His Bride are Gods’ image, male and female of that which is from the beginning .

 The Kingdom of God is at hand.

About Budapest

The city of Budapest offers astonishing views of the old city and an exciting culture flourishing on the banks of the Danube River. The boulevards of Pest and the vivid hills of Buda will make your jaws drop. Much of the appeal lies in the magical glimpses of the elongated vistas and gleaming streets. There are several historical and cultural sites with arrays of restaurants, cafes, and shops in the Hungarian capital city.

WASHINGTON — With the battle for Congress down to the wire, Beltway communicators, having already weathered two years of tumult, are bracing for even more challenges being ushered in with Tuesday’s midterms — no matter which side gains control.

"This administration has turned everything on its head,” said APCO Worldwide managing director Bill Dalbec, adding that the tension and unpredictability of today’s Washington has upended DC communications alongside other conventions of political order.

“The idea that you can do your stakeholder mapping, and know where everyone is going to be, is out the window. (The current climate) is really forcing companies and trade associations and others to be more agile and adapt on the fly, try new things and constantly be reinventing themselves.”

Which is no easy lift, particularly given the conventions by which Washington communicators have long done business.

As recently as the last midterm election four years ago, PR professionals working on behalf of companies and industry, organizations and lobbies would be spending this time assessing and tailoring their messages to best resonate with whomever took charge. From there, they would also work their way through Capitol Hill to make sure they reached politicians, as well as the troves of aides and advisors who support them, with due impact.

And while communicators, some of whom spent up to a year finding their footing after Trump's election, are still going through some of that process, they do so knowing they could be on the brink of another round of unexpected results in which the traditional modes of doing business are ineffective.

Compounding the issue is that the people charged with doing that work won't have much time to get their bearings — nor wiggle room for mistakes. Between social media and being chastised by President Trump, Washington has the power to pummel companies' reputations in a flash.

Business could face having to navigate the intricacies of increased oversight and regulation — and all the communications challenges that come with it —should Democrats take control of the House as expected. Closer scrutiny around issues like gender and LGBTQ equality, diversity and inclusion and the environment is likely to ensue.

In turn, that requires organizations to shore up their operations by addressing vulnerabilities, as well as the way they handle communications around hot-button issues to reduce the risk of attack.

“Since the issues have become more divisive, (organizations) need to work harder to get their point across,” said SKDKnickerbocker partner Hilary Rosen. “The stakes have gotten higher from both sides.”

All of which means organizations that have managed to remain relatively under the radar during the first half of the Trump administration, as well as those that purposely distanced themselves from it, may have to get back into the groove of Washington, which stands to get even more cantankerous as we move next onto presidential electioneering.

Industry watchers say cutting through the rancor is going to require communicators across sectors to look at a full-scale revamp in the way they get their messages to resonate in Washington, starting with the acknowledgement that, at least at this point, there is no new normal.

“What’s important in evaluating one’s team is looking at whether they have the experience with this target audience,” said Jim Papa, who heads Global Strategy Group’s Washington office.  “Smart companies are assessing issues and vulnerabilities … and assessing their teams for whether they have the right communications support to manage what could be coming soon out of Capitol Hill.”

Sources said successful Washington communications today involve framing messaging around issues of particular importance to stakeholders — topics like clean energy, data and privacy and healthcare reform — and targeting the people handling those areas, versus working your way through congressional staff hierarchy.

Given today’s breakneck speed and contentious nature of changing whims, and Washington comings-and-goings, communicators are also going to have to be on constant watch for changes in personnel as well as politics. “One of the challenges that communicators have in talking to Washington is that it’s a different landscape and playing field and a lot more due diligence and homework needs to be done to be effective,” Dalbec said.

And, much like their consumer-focused brethren have had to do, Washington communicators are going to have to expand the channels by which they reach the people who have politicians’ ears. Like the general public, they are just as likely to get pertinent information via a podcast as a story in the Washington Post.

Also, like colleagues serving other sectors, those targeting Washington would benefit from ramping up their use of leveraging data and analytics to evaluate what is or isn’t working, and having the wherewithal to dial it up, roll it back or retarget.

Yet, while industries, particularly heavily regulated ones like healthcare, financial services and trade, are inextricably linked to government, business has hardly been waiting on the sidelines for Washington to regroup.

Not only have they purposely detached themselves from the Trump administration, business leaders over the last two years also have stepped up to fill the void in leadership caused by the acrimony — rallying around immigrants and athlete protesters, helping communities devastated by events like hurricanes and taking unprecedented actions such as cutting ties with the NRA.

During a recent trip talking to stakeholders around the country, Dalbec said he saw evidence that the leadership role companies are taking does make a difference to communities, particularly those that are directly impacted by corporate activism.

“There are a lot of people in the Midwest and the South still trying to recover from the recession, and haven’t seen a lot of good things. So now to see companies that are able to help them and respond in their local communities is something they are looking for,” Dalbec said. “There is recognition that companies do have the ability to shape the narrative.”

Exactly what I wanted
"Grabbed these to be handles for my Emazing flowball poi. After about a week of spinning with them, I'm very satisfied. The slick nylon is great for swapping between the front and back of my hand, maintaining contact without causing blistering(my problem with my original handles. Or one of them.)"

Handle it like a boss
"I made myself a pair of leather handles for my fire poi. Despite being about 4 mm thick with metal rivets holding the hardware on, they eventually broke and sent a flaming poi under the gas tank of my car. My car is fine but my poi are now sporting these handles because they are sturdy, comfortable, classy and convenient. Oh and well-priced."

Concentrix gets up close and personal with Teleperformance with its Convergys acquisition

June 29, 2018 | Phil FershtMelissa O'Brien

One of the worst-kept secrets in the world of call centers finally went from gossip to reality as Synnex Corp added Convergys to its acquisition portfolio to roll under Concentrix.  As we covered here in 2013, IBM spun out its call center business to the Concentrix brand and - almost five years on - will merge forces with Concentrix under the leadership of Chris Caldwell (recently interviewed here).

So, from 10,000 people (just 5 years ago) to being very close behind the market leader, let's see how the call center market is shaking out right now:

Let's just get right to the nub here... what's good and not-so-good about this lovely marriage?

  • The price tag is extremely attractive - especially when compared to $1 bn for Intelenet, which is a much less heritage firm in the market.  At these investment levels, this appears like an amazing deal for Synnex, especially with its track record of making sound investments over the past couple of decades.
  • We now have a very strong rival to Teleperformance at the top of the market.  If Teleperformance had made this move, it may have been game over for a lot of these firms.
  • Convergys was stuck and needed a new direction - and here is one with an exciting young firm.  Convergys is a great, traditional contact ctr firm, very dedicated to its craft, but has been hurt by  low-cost competition and struggled to maintain its edge in recent years.
  • Scale can be priceless in a commodity market. When an industry is commodotizing like call center, it's often better to operate at a larger scale, so you can ringfence your legacy business and invest in strategic clients who want to work with a co-investment mentality. Geographical expansion and diversification will help the merged entity drive greater cost synergies and variety for clients.
  • Similar business ethos. As both core contact center service providers, both have a strong global operating model for consistency of services as well as a training and employee-focused culture. The challenge will be integrating the two together, but are generally aligned in terms of employee centricity and ops excellence.
  • Convergys has a very loyal client base that identifies with the firm, its culture, understanding of call center agents, and its understanding of their needs.
  • Microsoft partnership. Convergys has a very promising partnership with Microsoft and capabilities to harness Cortana and other apps.  CNX will need to nurture this relationship.
  • Good technology assets. Convergys brings a solid IVR business and some very popular agent portal platforms.
  • Gives Concentrix strong market visibility and helps shed its "we used to be IBM" tag. For Concentrix, this could help them carve out the message of what they’re doing and want to be in the market. For Convergys, lends some sense of direction in the post Andrea Ayers era.
  • An injection of fresh thinking and new ideas.  Chris Caldwell has a terrific opportunity to take his ideas to a very significant level if he can get this right, especially with acquisitions such as Tigerspike in the digital design space, and Minacs in marketing analytics and support.  Chris has a bold view of where the industry needs to go - this should be a terrific challenge for him and his team.
  • M&A can buy time to take control in a commodity marketplace. Large mergers like this create the perfect distraction to make some discreet investments, keeps the shareholders at bay for a few quarters and can (potentially) help them focus on retooling the offerings and sharpening the whole approach. However, this depends entirely on decisive leadership and swift, focused transition and very strong communication to investors and shareholders.

  • Is bigger really better? This acquisition seems to be more about bolstering scale and size, with Convergys having little to show in terms of proprietary IP or differentiated offerings (Contrary to Concentrix's investments in Tigerspike and Minacs). However, in a market that has been largely stagnant for years, any movement like this can help shake things up.
  • Convergys lacks a diversification in clientele with AT&T/Comcast being an enormous piece of CVG’s business. Telcos are typically the epitome of butts on seats deals—why choose a company that’s practically half telcos?  Maybe this explains why the price was so attractive.
  • Client overlaps in large accounts will impact some revenues, i.e. Cisco.
  • The potential for culture clash. Concentrix comes out of IBM business and Convergys is essentially a traditional telco out of Cincinatti Bell … one has a background of tech and innovation and the other a very conservative and risk-averse culture.
  • Convergys’ revenues have been decreasing the last couple of years.  Call volume fluctuations and trying to compete with cost-focused customers and several butts-in-seats service providers in low-cost geos, has made it very challenging to focus on value-based deals.
  • Appetite for automation in Convergys core industry puts ever more pressures on sustain margins and growth. For example, Convergys' strongest vertical, telcos, are increasing their self-service interactions and automation, and have the strongest appetite in the industry for increasing Robotic Process Automation investments, in addition to their outsourcing focus.
  • Desperate mid-tier providers. Many of the midtiers service providers may make the whole situation worse, by forcing price points even lower out of sheer desperation. Let's be honest, we're in a rat-race and the game is all about who can survive the next 18-24 months to emerge ontop.
  • Low-cost IT/BPO offshore providers making subtle moves into the contact center space as digital customer needs accelerate. We're already seeing many of the Indian heritage firms chasing after call center deals they would not have looked at a couple of years ago. They can be especially effective with "chat-only" engagements and with clients wanting to buy into a strong cognitive / automation story.  Large IT-centric outsourcers, such as Techmahindra, HCL  and Cognizant have been seen picking off some impressive wins with clients, especially where there are very strong IT elements.  BPOs such as EXL and WNS have been much more active in the customer service segment, and EXL is making an impressive repositioning of itself as a digital intelligence provider, with some impressive depth in insurance, utilities and healthcare sectors.

The Bottom-line: As long as this "traditional consolidation" is short-term, this could pave the way for a OneOffice future for the winning contact center providers

Let's cut to the chase here - Convergys is a great call center provider, but lacked the leadership and investment to break into the digital era effectively.  This merger may just provide that opportunity for a very talented employee base with a terrific customer culture.   For Concentrix, they needed one big play to get up-close-and-personal with Teleperformance, and this is the move.  Plus, the price was really damn good, and we're surprised why others with huge financial backing didn't make the move, such as Sitel or Arvato.

On the negative side, these contact center heavyweights appear to be doubling-down on size and scale, rather than pursuing a true OneOffice vision for digital customer engagement. We are more excited about some of the smaller acquisitions happening in the space, such as Webhelp’s recent Sellbytell acquisition from Omnicomm and SYKES’ pursuing digital marketing with Clearlink – connecting the pieces in the front office as marketing, service and sales continue to overlap and converge, and using the vast amounts of customer data they process to better engage with customers.

The large contact centers can’t seem to get out of their own way—they talk about providing digital, analytics and CX consulting focused services, but the reality is that the bulk of their business is still traditional contact center. Despite some real capabilities, salespeople aren’t incentivized to sell a different way, and customers aren’t ponying up to partner and buy a different way.  Continuing in this paradigm is a short-sighted view… look at what is happening with eroding revenues from the telco sector now, the most mature of the contact centers will eventually happen in other sectors, such as retail and banking. In addition, the wave of "chat only" deals are increasing and threatening the life out of the traditional voice business. Providers like Teleperformance and Concentrix don’t have to disown their core business – there’s always going to be a huge market for traditional interaction management, however, adding some truly differentiated digital offerings would be a much smarter long-term strategy.

Net-net, this is a massive coup for Synnex and the Concentrix management teams - and Convergys has found a good home to focus on the future with confidence.  However, we would like to see some significant investments in intelligent automation and digital technologies to drag contact center BPO into the OneOffice era. Let's hope these guys can work it out, as there is a real war on between the legacy cost-obsessed approach and the OneOffice approach...

    Nice summary - have to agree with the point on scale. The market is changing and very few providers seem able to offer a true blend of voice and digital - not least work out how to price the services differently too

    It is important I think to see acquistions on this scale in context. Looking back at Client Logic's acquisition of SITEL in 2005 for example it was actually diven by investment managers Jana Partners who recognised the under utilisation of SITEL. They didn't particularly understand our industry. Acquisition's now drive consolidation based much more on real insight into the businesses involved. And if we all do well - we all do well, and the mid-tier players who fill the vacuum will keep everbody on their toes. Clients should benefit either way, and certainly their procurement teams will demand it! Very good article and tables always tell a story!!

    @William: When an industry is so commodotized like call center currently is, there is little wiggle-room to invest in real innovation and talent. Clients abuse their position of power to squeeze the life out of service providers, and they end up with what they essentially paid for: low cost offshore labor and little access to the latest technologies and A-team delivery people, who can do more than follow scripts and actually delight customers.

    Many of the midtiers just make the whole situation worse, as they have even less overhead and force price points even lower, out of sheer desperation. Let's be honest, we're in a ratrace and the game is all about who can survive the next 18-24 months to emerge ontop. It's all about locking in clients with whom you can grow, and having the scale and resources to make the investments that will actually help clients integrate traditional delivery with digital delivery right where it counts - at the customer end of the equation with the enabling operations.

    The more service providers can gravitate towards the OneOffice mindset, the better chance they have of taking ambitious clients with them and developing smarter ways of partnering for the long-term, where both parties benefit from achieving defined outcomes, and having genuine ways to define and measure success.

    Let's hope this merger can force some change within an industry struggling like hell to stumble its way out of the FTE-obsessed dark ages - but this ultimately takes two parties to do the dance: providers and customers...

Shaquille O'Neal counted down the best Shaqtin A Fool moments from the 2016-17 NBA season last night and revealed this year's Shaqtin' MVP, who won the award in a tightly contested vote.

Featured in the Top-5 Shaqtin' bloopers of the year were, Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, Sam Dekker, J.R. Smith and Russell Westbrook, but only one man could take home the Shaqtin' crown.

And that man is Russell Westbrook, thanks to his epic travel.

Westbrook, who will likely take home another MVP award later this month, joins the ranks of JaVale McGee (2x), Kendrick Perkins, Otto Porter and James Harden as the only players to be blessed with this prestigious honor.

Check out the Top-5 Shaqtin A Fool moments from the season, as well as Shaq's MVP announcement, below.

Give your loved one your full attention. This builds respect and makes your partner feel significant and cherished. It’s so easy to text your sister or browse a favorite shopping site while your partner is talking about a work challenge or a troubling conversation with a friend.

The benefits of the hug  are hailed by researchers around the world. This powerful action is believed to release oxytocin, which increases hormones that make you feel happy and calm, notes psychologist Tiffany Field, PhD, who directs the Touch Institute at the University of Miami.Called the bonding hormone, oxytocin strengthens connections between you and your loved one. So put your arms around each other. Kiss. Listen to your heartbeats. Trace one another’s faces and tell each other what you love most about those special features. Touch deepens connection,says psychologist Matt Hertenstein, PhD, of DePauw University’s Touch and Emotion Lab in Greencastle, Indiana.

4. Smile Together, Especially Before Sex

Muscles relax for up to 45 minutes after a good chuckle, setting the stage for relaxed sex.Laughing also prompts the brain to release endorphins that flood your system and leave you feeling happy. Connecting with another human being through laughter signals playfulness and ignites passion.

5. Massage to Reconnect

Linux logs a large amount of events to the disk, where they’re mostly stored in the /var/log directory in plain text. Most log entries go through the system logging daemon, syslogd, and are written to the system log.

Ubuntu includes a number of ways of viewing these logs, either graphically or from the command-line. You can also write your own log messages to the system log — particularly useful in scripts.

Viewing Logs Graphically

To view log files using an easy-to-use, graphical application, open the Log File Viewer application from your Dash.

The Log File Viewer displays a number of logs by default, including your system log (syslog), package manager log (dpkg.log), authentication log (auth.log), and graphical server log (Xorg.0.log). You can view all the logs in a single window – when a new log event is added, it will automatically appear in the window and will be bolded. You can also press Ctrl+F to search your log messages or use the Filters menu to filter your logs.

If you have other log files you want to view – say, a log file for a specific application – you can click the File menu, select Open, and open the log file. It will appear alongside the other log files in the list and will be monitored and automatically updated, like the other logs.

Writing to the System Log

The logger utility allows you to quickly write a message to your system log with a single, simple command. For example, to write the message Hello World to your system log, use the following command:

logger “Hello World”

You may also wish to specify additional information – for example, if you’re using the logger command within a script, you may want to include the name of the script:

logger –t ScriptName “Hello World”

Viewing Logs in the Terminal

The dmesg command displays the Linux kernel’s message buffer, which is stored in memory. Run this command and you’ll get a lot of output.

To filter this output and search for the messages you’re interested in, you can pipe it to grep:

dmesg | grep something

You can also pipe the output of the dmesg command to less, which allows you to scroll through the messages at your own pace. To exit less, press Q.

dmesg | less

If a grep search produces a large amount of results, you can pipe its output to less, too:

dmesg | grep something | less

In addition to opening the log files located in /var/log in any text editor, you can use the cat command to print the contents of a log (or any other file) to the terminal:

cat /var/log/syslog

Like the dmesg command above, this will produce a large amount of output. You can use the grep and less commands to work with the output:

grep something /var/log/syslog

less /var/log/syslog

Other useful commands include the head and tail commands. head prints the first n lines in a file, while tail prints the last n lines in the file – if you want to view recent log messages, the tail command is particularly useful.

head -n 10 /var/log/syslog

tail -n 10 /var/log/syslog

Some applications may not write to the system log and may produce their own log files, which you can manipulate in the same way – you’ll generally find them in the /var/log directory, too. For example, the Apache web server creates a /var/log/apache2 directory containing its logs.

Buildings risk assessment program launched

Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, has launched its new HealthBuildings Risk Assessment program.
The comprehensive program helps hospital stakeholders understand and prioritize the risks associated with the facility, allowing them to increase efficiency and extend the lifecycle of the hospital infrastructure.

In the HealthBuildings assessment, a team of professional engineers and experts look at a facility’s complete critical infrastructure including mechanical, building management system (BMS), electrical, data center power and cooling systems, and security technology.

The assessment provides a detailed, documented roadmap of the risks based on multiple impact levels, such as the effect on patients and the probability of occurrence. It then provides suggestions on the best ways to mitigate these issues and the associated costs, allowing hospital leadership to prioritize and create a performance improvement plan that will result in a safer hospital.

“With the average US hospital being 27 years old and comprising thousands of different components, it’s important to ensure hospital buildings are safe and have the ability to offer uninterrupted care for the long term,” said James Winstead, director, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Schneider Electric.

“Schneider Electric’s comprehensive HealthBuildings Risk Assessment program and related services can help mitigate risk and plan for the future, creating a safer and more efficient hospital that aligns with CAPEX and OPEX priorities.”

Orangery Yard Project

New building, conservation and garden restoration

New building, conservation and garden restoration

Project Update – May 2017

Historic Royal Palaces Submit Planning Application

Historic Royal Palaces is the independent conservation and education charity responsible for the areas of Kensington Palace which are open to the public: the State Apartments, public exhibition spaces, shop, café, the Orangery restaurant, and the gardens directly surrounding the palace.

Artist’s impression of the new Orangery garden

We have now submitted a planning application for our new building next to the Orangery restaurant and a historically inspired garden to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for planning consent. See the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea website for full details.

Our application will shortly be considered by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s planning committee and we should have a decision by early July 2017. If successful, we will begin clearing the site later this year to allow us to conserve the rear of the Orangery before we begin the project in January 2018. We aim to finish the new building by Easter 2020 and the garden shortly afterwards.

The State Apartments at Kensington Palace are managed separately from areas of the palace used by the Royal Household and members of the Royal Family have no involvement in this project. The project will be funded by private donations and the charity’s own reserves, without any public funding.

Contact the project team

Why do we want to build a new building?

Visitor numbers at Kensington Palace have more than doubled over the past five years. We now attract over 400,000 visitors a year to visit the historic Stuart and Georgian State Apartments, our displays and exhibitions. At the moment, our staff at the palace are housed in temporary accommodation. Our proposed additional space will enable us to better serve our visitors and support the exhibitions, education and events programme and curatorial projects at the palace. The new building will provide Historic Royal Palaces with a permanent onsite store and conservation facility for key pieces from the internationally renowned Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, together with essential work space for operational staff responsible for opening the State Apartments to the public. Much needed new kitchens and facilities for the Orangery restaurant will also be provided.

Find out more about the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection >

Have we considered alternative options?

The decision to build a new building has not been taken lightly. Initially, we undertook a year-long process of examining spaces available within the areas managed by Historic Royal Palaces, a feasibility study of off-site accommodation and considered the movement of some staff to other sites managed by the charity before we concluded that a new building was the only possible solution to our long-term accommodation needs. The essential staff needed on site each day to care for the palace and open it to the public are currently housed in temporary accommodation wholly unsuitable to their functions. The new building will provide improved, specially designed facilities that will better equip staff to manage and care for Kensington Palace as a world-class visitor destination and heritage site.

The new building: our plans

The new building next to the Orangery will provide dedicated storage and offer improved access to a carefully curated selection of the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, an internationally important collection of historic royal and court dress as well as providing new kitchens and facilities for the Orangery Restaurant and essential office accommodation for the charity’s operational staff.

As a conservation charity, our priority is to ensure that the new building is sympathetically designed to respect the Grade I Listed Orangery and its historic setting. We have chosen to recreate the garden wall that used to enclose the area behind the Orangery which can be seen on historic plans and for which we have archaeological evidence. This wall provided a backdrop to the wilderness garden to the north of the site and its reinstatement will once again provide an elegant backdrop to this area. It will enable us to remove the collection of cluttered and unsightly temporary buildings partially hidden by scrub planting currently behind the Orangery.

The new building will blend in with the Orangery using handmade bricks with details picked out in red rubbed brick and Portland stone to match the existing Orangery brickwork. The majority of the building will be hidden below ground to protect views of the 18th-century building and the surrounding park land. The basement will not extend under the Orangery building itself, but will be two storeys deep to minimise the effect of the development on archaeology in the area and ensure that foot print is kept within the historic boundary of the original yard.

The new garden

The new garden has been designed by the landscape architect Todd Longstaffe-Gowan and draws inspiration from the area’s early 18th-century layout and surviving plans from 1720-5 and 1733, as well as from the garden’s early 20th century re-modelling.

It will open up views to the Orangery from the south, reintegrating the building within the palace complex and gardens. It will reconnect the Orangery Garden and Sunken Garden which, in the early 20th century were designed to complement one another and it will establish an area to display exotic plants, such as those that would have been overwintered in the Orangery in the past.

Alongside the new building and garden we will also be carrying out a major conservation programme to restore the Orangery itself. This important baroque building was constructed for Queen Anne in 1704–5, as both a greenhouse and a setting for court functions. It is now used a popular restaurant and venue for functions and events.

The building requires specialist treatment both inside and out. Externally we will be carrying out brick repairs and we have been carrying out research to inform the repairs to the decorative details, some of which have become damaged over time. Internally there are a two stunning carvings by the renowned 18th century carver Grinling Gibbons which will be carefully restored and a new heating system will be installed which will do away with the intrusive temporary system currently in use. Finally we are carrying out paint analysis to inform the redecoration of the building.

A Major Global Powerhouse Has Won Just One Bronze Medal In Rio

And it kind of won that by accident.

India's Vinesh Vinesh ponders where it all went wrong after the women's wrestling freestyle 48-kg comp in Rio.
India's Vinesh Vinesh ponders where it all went wrong after the women's wrestling freestyle 48-kg comp in Rio.

Someone has been missing from the Rio 2016 Olympic medal table. It's the world's seventh largest economy and second most populous nation, but until day 12 of competition, it had not won a single gold, silver or bronze. Not one.

That country is India. And it finally broke through for a bronze medal for Sakshi Malik in the women's freestyle wrestling 58 kg division -- but only after the original bronze medallist, a Kenyan, was disqualified.

India has never been a strong Olympic nation. It has competed at the summer Olympics 24 times (including Rio), but has won only nine gold, six silver and 11 bronze medals. That's an all-time total of just 26 medals.

By way of comparison, Australia has already won 24 medals at these Games alone, and is not even having a particularly good Olympics by its own high standards.

It looked like things were changing. India won three medals in Beijing, then six at London 2012, and was thought finally to be on an upward swing as an Olympic power. But Rio has been terrible. What's going on?

India's athletes are struggling under the weight of expectations in Rio.

Alok Sinha is sports editor of the largest-selling daily English language newspaper in the world, The Times of India. "Another day of disaster," he lamented, when your HuffPost correspondent asked if things were looking a little brighter on Day 12 of Olympic competition in Rio. (This was before the wrestling medal late in the day.)

"Realistically we hoped to win five or six medals in Rio. We were expecting at least two or three in shooting. Two Indians went into the finals after qualifying and they finished fourth, and that was it. We were expecting a medal from the women's archery team, but they somehow slipped."

Boxers, hockey teams and tennis players have also failed for India at the 2016 games. "I am calling it a mystery virus," Sinha said. "We're not worried about Zika. This [India's poor performance] is the real virus."

India's Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna got close in the Rio mixed doubles tennis, but lost the bronze medal match.

But according to Sinha, the problem with Indian Olympic sports runs deeper than a few underperforming athletes in Rio.

"The basic thing is sport is not part of our school curriculum in India. Parents want their children to study. They want them to become engineers, software professionals. Everybody wants to work in Europe, work in the U.S. You don't want to send your kid to a sports academy."

Then there's the eternal issue of the dominance of cricket in India. Every sport is a distant second after cricket in terms of participation, funding and any other metric you care to use. There's been half-hearted talk of including Twenty20 cricket (the short form of the game) at future Olympic Games.

"That is a sport that we play well, that would give hope," Sinha said.

It would also, no doubt, give the IOC the eyeballs and broadcast rights earnings it craves from an under-represented part of the Olympic world.

But for now, India struggles on as an Olympic power. And according to Sinha, while India's poor showing at the Rio Olympics is not washing well back home, it hasn't dented national pride too much.

"It doesn't affect deeply the Indian psyche," he said. "People are not burning effigies. That is only in cricket."

India's last hope for a second medal? A badminton player called Pusarla Sindhu, whose semi final is on day 13 of competition. She'll only have the weight of, oh, 1.25 billion people on her slender shoulders.

The last hope of one sixth of the world's population. Not much pressure, then.

Is National Health Insurance (Medicare For All) Socialized Medicine?

When President Truman presented a proposal for national health insurance, he emphasized that this was only a financing mechanism and that the delivery of health care would remain in the private sector's marketplace of hospitals, other facilities, physicians and other health professionals.
08/08/2016 02:54 pm ET Updated Aug 09, 2017

When President Harry Truman brought forward a proposal for national health insurance in 1945, he emphasized that this was only a financing mechanism, and that the delivery of health care would remain in the private sector's marketplace of hospitals, other facilities, physicians and other health professionals. As he said at the time:

Socialized medicine means that all doctors are employees of the Government. The American people want no such system. No such system is here proposed. (1)

But Dr. Morris Fishbein, then the president of the American Medical Association, quickly countered with this extreme reactionary overstatement:

[This] is the first step toward the regimentation of utilities, of industry, of finance, and eventually of labor itself. This is the kind of regimentation that led to totalitarianism in Germany and the downfall of that nation . . . no one will ever convince the physicians of America that the . . . bill is not socialized medicine. (2)

Since then, conservatives have repeatedly condemned any mention of national health insurance (NHI) as socialized medicine, as an intentional and uniformed way to block debate over the issue.

This myth is generally based on misunderstanding of what socialized medicine means. England is a good example of socialized medicine, with the government owning hospitals and other facilities and employing physicians and other health professionals. Despite some of its critics on this side of the border, Canada does not have socialized medicine, since its public, single-payer financing system is coupled with a private delivery system.

Our own Veterans Administration (VA) has already qualified for many years as an example of socialized medicine, with ownership by the government of facilities and employer of health professionals. There is no way that we would want to eliminate it on this basis, despite the attempts of many conservatives to privatize it. Privatization would bring less efficiency, higher costs, restricted services, and new overhead costs and profits, not improved health care for veterans.

In his 2011 book, The "S" Word: A Short History of an American Tradition . . . Socialism, John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine, brings this important insight:

This country, which was founded on a radical interpretation of enlightenment ideals, which advanced toward the realization of those ideals with an even more radical assault on the southern aristocracy, which was made more humane and responsible by the progressive reforms, the New and Fair Deals and the wars on poverty and inequality of the first three quarters of the twentieth century, is now tinkering around the edges of the challenges posed by the twenty-first century. Our dumbed-down debate is narrower, more constrained, and more meaningless than at any time in our history. One need not embrace socialism ideologically or practically to recognize that public-policy discussions ought to entertain a full range of ideas -- from right to left, not from far right to center right.

Historically, America welcomed that range of ideas, and benefited by the discourse. (3)

Since it was first introduced by presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, opponents of NHI have defeated it through recurrent bitter debates featured by demagoguery and disinformation. NHI was never on the table in the last go-around over health care reform that brought us the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, when powerful economic and political interests of the corporate medical industrial complex prevailed. As a result, what we now have is a government subsidized private insurance industry that largely calls the shots, loss of free choice of physician and hospital through narrow networks, no significant containment of prices or costs of health care, growing unaffordability of care for much of the population, consolidation of hospitals and other facilities with more market share and less competition, almost two-thirds of U. S. physicians employed by others (especially expanding hospital systems), increasing dissatisfaction and burnout of physicians dealing with the growing bureaucracy of some 1,300 private insurers, and corporate profiteering on the backs of patients, their families, and taxpayers.

NHI would bring us public financing tied to a private delivery system, not a government takeover as conservatives claim. So it is long overdue to ask these kinds of questions when opponents of NHI (Medicare for All) again trot out the claim that it is socialized medicine. Is it socialized medicine to:

  • want health care to be available and affordable based on medical need, not ability to pay?
  • believe that all Americans should have free choice of physician and hospital wherever they live?
  • think that everyone should pay into the system based on a progressive tax system and ability to pay?
  • replace the wasteful multi-payer, for profit financing system with a simplified, not-for-profit single-payer system that will cost 95 percent of Americans less than they already pay for health insurance and actual care?
  • want the most efficient and least bureaucratic system possible?
  • want a large risk pool -- our entire population -- that most effectively shares risk for whatever health care all of us will need?
  • combat health care fraud by close oversight and stewardship of taxpayer dollars?
  • expect that health care services that are provided have been found to be effective and cost-effective by the best available scientific evidence?
  • accept health care as an essential human right, as most industrialized countries have long recognized, as well as the United Nations since 1948 and the World Health Organization in later years?

If NHI were to be decided upon through a democratic process, instead of through the political power and lobbying of corporate stakeholders in the status quo, we would have had it long ago. We have seen majority support for NHI based on public surveys for some 50 years. As one recent example, a national Gallup poll two months ago found that 58 percent of more than 1,500 adult U. S. respondents favored Bernie Sanders' federally-funded Medicare for All proposal; that number included 73 percent of Democrats/Leaners and 41 percent of Republicans/Leaners. A Kaiser poll in December, 2015, also found that 58 percent of Americans want NHI, compared to just 40 percent favoring the ACA. (4) Another recent Kaiser survey found that 54 percent of enrollees in the ACA's individual plans rate their coverage as "only fair" or "poor", while almost one-half are dissatisfied with their plans' annual deductibles. (5) As for physician support for NHI, a 2008 national survey of more than 2,200 U. S. physicians in all specialties found that 59 percent support NHI. (6)

The November elections give us an important opportunity to move toward real health care reform. Hillary Clinton once believed that the momentum for single-payer would sweep the country, as she said to a group at Lehman Brothers Health Corporation in 1994 before the Clinton Health Plan died in a congressional committee:

If there is not health care reform this year, and if, for whatever reason, the Congress doesn't pass health care reform . . . I believe that by the year 2000 we will have a single payer system. . . I don't even think it's a close call politically. I think that the momentum for a single payer system will sweep the country . . . it will be such a huge popular issue . . . that even if it's not successful the first time, it will eventually be.(7)

We need to hold her to her words since she tells us how much she knows about health care in this country. This will require her to move farther left than the current Democratic platform and endorse single-payer NHI as a part of her Party's platform. She talks support for universal access, which the ACA will never accomplish. Now is the time for her to walk the walk.
