In July 2013, Symphony brought a complaint against IMS, the largest pharmaceutical data and analytics company in the world, alleging that IMS unlawfully abused its monopoly power in pharmaceutical data markets and violated the antitrust laws through various types of horizontal and vertical exclusionary conduct, including entering into exclusive long-term agreements with data suppliers, requiring data suppliers to sign most-favored-nation clauses, acquiring rivals to eliminate competition, and bundling its products.  In response to the complaint, IMS filed multiple counterclaims alleging that Symphony poached IMS employees to steal IMS's trade secrets. Symphony then filed a motion to dismiss IMS's counterclaims.

After reviewing Symphony's motion to dismiss, Judge McHugh dismissed IMS's trade secret misappropriation claims as to two former IMS employees as barred by res judicata.  Specifically, a prior consent order already addressed concerns that Symphony gained access to IMS's trade secrets through the two former IMS employees.  Judge McHugh also dismissed IMS's claim of tortious interference regarding a vendor because IMS's "prediction" of future harm could not sustain its claim.

However, Judge McHugh let IMS's poaching claims go forward and refused to dismiss IMS's claims of improper procurement of confidential information and unfair competition.  As to improper procurement, Judge McHugh highlighted IMS's allegation that its former employee hired by Symphony made a public presentation with IMS materials.  With respect to unfair competition, Judge McHugh ruled that IMS had stated facts sufficient to support its claim when it alleged that "Symphony targeted for hire groups of employees who worked in parts of IMS's business that Symphony wished to duplicate, with the purpose of appropriating IMS's trade secrets."

In 2015, Motivation Champs launched our publishing division to help authors of all levels share inspiration and get their messages out to the world. In 2020, we are proud to say we have worked with hundreds of authors from across the globe, helping their dreams become reality.

When our founder Mr. Dominick Domasky, an Amazon Bestselling Author, started his journey to becoming a published author he admittedly knew little about the industry. “I was a guy who told stories about getting beat up and pulling weeds. I didn’t know there were ruthless publishing companies out there preying on people’s hopes and dreams, but I found out.” Dominick encountered companies selling services he didn’t need and promising results that weren’t realistic. Others demanded long applications and detailed query letters, but never acknowledged the submission. “It was a heartbreaking process, so I try to be sensitive, but realistic with my clients. If Motivation Champ’s Publishing is not the right fit, we let them know, but also try to guide them through the publishing process. While I believe our service is second to none, if we’re not the right fit, we’ll help the client find a publishing solution that is.”

Motivation Champ’s Publishing is very selective with the clients we choose to work with and only selects projects that meet our core principle, “Sharing Inspiration.” We publish self-help, fitness, motivation, inspiration, business, uplifting, and positive children’s books, or any works fitting into this genre.

We believe every author’s needs are different. Each author we work with has unique goals, which means no one program is right for everyone. Services range from formatting eBooks to ghostwriting and marketing paperback and hardback books.

Inherent Vice: Josh Brolin on Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Ambiance of Possibility”

by at .  Updated at . Comments

As you can tell immediately in the Inherent Vice trailer, Josh Brolin’s LAPD detective is a little behind the times of the 1970-set film from Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood). “He’s not only a generation behind, he’s like a generation and three quarters behind,” Brolin told Movie Fanatic.

Josh Brolin Joaquin Phoenix Inherent Vice

“He refuses to let go of that Right Stuff image he has of himself and how life should be. And yet, he’s not intelligent enough or impactful enough to understand you have to be valuable with the times.”

In Inherent Vice, Brolin’s Lt. Det. Christian F. "Bigfoot" Bjornsen has a dozen plates in the air. They include a disappearance of a real estate magnate (Eric Roberts), and his mistress Shasta (Katherine Waterston) has vanished too. When we meet Bigfoot, he is about to bring in Joaquin Phoenix’s private detective, Doc, because he awoke lying next to a dead guy. And yes, they are all interconnected.

We learn that Doc and Bigfoot have a history and that Doc’s private eye, in fact, has been quite helpful over the years, despite the fact that he’s a pot smoking hippie that embodies a lifestyle that Bigfoot so vehemently detests. But, Brolin had a ball playing a guy who was so clueless, yet so firm in his beliefs.

“[He’ll] actually get more out of Doc by getting rid of all that kind of racist or civil rights violating stuff and quit being such an idea of yourself,” Brolin said.

The Oscar nominee then made a spot-on comparison. “He’s a kid having a tantrum. He wants his Fruit Loops, and he’s not getting his Fruit Loops. And he doesn’t know how. He doesn’t understand that the tantrum’s not working. And he gets more frustrated because the tantrum’s not working instead of being smart enough to go, ‘If I maybe am really nice, maybe that will work.’ But he doesn’t get that.”

One of the (many) aspects of Inherent Vice that is pure joy is the camaraderie between Doc and Bigfoot. “That relationship is such a marriage, like any cop relationship. It’s much more functional than anything else he’s doing -- even though it’s totally dysfunctional,” Brolin said and laughed.

Even though Brolin admitted that he and Phoenix have completely different approaches to tackling characters, once Anderson called “action” the two were effortless partners in a brilliant thespian dance.

“We gelled really, really well. I think the approaches are very different. I need objectivity. Personally, I need to be able to (expletive) around a lot -- trying to crack everybody up with whatever I’m doing. Because when I get into the scene, then I’m familiar to me, and that’s good. If I’m in it all the time, I’m bored by the time I get there. That’s just me,” Brolin admitted.

Inherent Vice Josh Brolin

“But, Joaquin’s in it, all the time. That’s what works for him. When we were in it, we were very similarly convicted. Total conviction once you’re doing it. And then whatever you’re doing otherwise is none of my business.”

From Mark Wahlberg and the all-star cast of Boogie Nights, through Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master, actors line up to work with Anderson. His vision is unique, sublime and impeccable. Brolin was no different.

“He’s a guy who creates an ambiance of possibility. First of all, when you see There Will Be Blood, or you see raining frogs in Magnolia, you’re like, ‘Okay, he’s willing to kind of go into a different place.’ He has a perspective that I think is interesting, personally. So why would you not do it?” Brolin said.

Then, you jump in and see the reason why everyone lines up to work with Anderson. The two crossed paths during awards season a few years back. Brolin was promoting No Country for Old Men and Anderson had There Will Be Blood. Immediately, just being in a room with Anderson, Brolin was hooked.

“It’s like this guy works with the greatest actors out there, and that’s it. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I’d really like to work with Paul Thomas Anderson.’ It’s just that’s probably something that’s not going to happen,” Brolin said and smiled.

“Then you get a call saying, ‘Look, I think I may have some work for you.’ That was the line! Paul said that to me! And then you’re on set with this guy, and he’s like your brother. And I don’t mean your bro, I mean actually like your brother. We understand the same things. We have the same references. We appreciate a lot of the same absurdities. And we see the humanity in those absurdities.”

How They Did It: Seamless Stunt Work and Smartly Drawn Shot Lists Fueled The Mountaintop Sequence in Midsommar

How They Did It: Seamless Stunt Work and Smartly Drawn Shot Lists Fueled The Mountaintop Sequence in Midsommar

Best Of

In Midsommar—my sophomore feature about a codependent couple whose doomed fate leads them to a nightmarish summer solstice celebration among an ancestral Swedish cult called the Hårga—there are two movies happening at the same time, from beginning to end.

The first movie is a folk horror film, and that’s the sort of movie our male characters are living in. The second is a wish-fulfillment fantasy—a modern fairy tale that our leading lady Dani (Florence Pugh) is inadvertently taken through.

Our first major set piece, introduced halfway through the film, is significant in the context of each of these “two movies.” The scene depicts ättestupa—a ritual in which every elder of the Hårga, having reached the age of 72, commits suicide by cliff-jumping as the rest of the members watch from the valley below. Dani’s boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friend Josh (William Jackson Harper) are both anthropology PhD students, and once they witness this shocking ritual, they enter into a competition to do their respective theses on the Hårga. They see this moment as an opportunity to advance their academic careers, so the worse their time at the midsummer festival gets, the more exciting it becomes. For Dani, seeing the ritual forces her to relive the trauma she endures at the outset of the film, when her sister and parents die tragically in a murder-suicide. And as one of the members of the Hårga explains the philosophy and motives behind the ritual, Dani begins to reframe her perspective on what happened to her and her family.

To convey the gut-punch their characters feel in Midsommar‘s ättestupa sequence, stars Jack Reynor, Florence Pugh, William Jackson Harper, and Vilhelm Blomgren (L to R) timed their reactions to Aster’s clapboard. Image courtesy of A24

Ramping Up Tension

Scouting for this sequence proved to be a difficult task. We saw every possible location in Hungary throughout pre-production, looking for a valley that would include some sort of cliff top, but this was the one location we could never find. We finally found one that would’ve been great… if only there was a peak from which our stunt actors could jump.

The problem was that although our hilltop was high enough that it could kill somebody, it still wasn’t visually impressive. We realized that in order to make this work, we were going to have to build a 30-foot green screen ramp, which we would later replace with a CG mountaintop in post-production. It also became clear that building this ramp was going to cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars, so a lot of our budget went toward reinforcing it. But green-screening the ramp was worth the investment, as it was crucial in giving our FX artists something they could easily cut out in post.

Jumping-Off Point

When it comes to stunts, something can always go wrong, so you try to take as many precautions as you can. For certain shots, we minimized risk by avoiding having our stunt actors jump simply for our main actors’ benefit when it wasn’t required. In these instances, I would clap my clapboard in order to give our main actors the correct timing of the jump—at which point they would react.

When it came time to get more complicated shots of the sequence, the ramp also enabled our main actors to react to something real,  since we could now shoot our stunt actors— not dummies—jumping off of it on wires. Of course, we spent a lot of our budget making all of this achievable, so it was ultimately very safe. But actually, our main actors did step up to the precipice, too… again, on wires, but it was very brave of them. (I could’ve done it in solidarity, but I didn’t.)

Aster (R), Pugh (C), and Blomgren (L) hang inside Midsommar‘s Hårga houses, whose bizarre beauty roots the film in folk horror tradition.

Here Comes the Sun

The biggest challenge of the ättestupa scene—of the entire shoot, in fact—was maintaining continuity. Since every shot of the scene is sequenced, we needed to make sure that even though we were jumping around our shot list, we were shooting directionally. First, you’re shooting shot one, then shot 24, and then shot 43—in that order, because that’s where the sun is as you’re relying heavily on the weather with an outdoor shoot.

Asking your actors to be able to compartmentalize a scene that’s broken up into so many parts is always tough. On some days, you’re shooting 10 scenes in one day and you don’t have time to linger. On other days, you’re shooting one scene over the course of the entire day and in the beginning, the sun and shadows are over here, and by the end, they’re over there. There’s no hope of evading 100 percent of continuity lapses if you’re shooting on a tight schedule outdoors every day. A cloud might come in as you’re shooting a scene, and it might be a tiny cloud, but if it’s coming toward the sun, you have to get what you can before the cloud hits that sun, and then you stop until the cloud has passed through. You might stop for an hour and 20 minutes, but it’s necessary in order to get your shots to match.

Setting Houses in Order

In your planning, you should shot list in a way that anticipates these problems. To develop a clear vision of the movie in my head, I always write my shot list on my own before I talk to anybody in the crew. Then I walk my DP (Pawel Pogorzelski) and my production designer (Henrik Svensson) through the entire list so they can begin to see the same movie in their heads, and from there we can build a dialogue. This approach was absolutely necessary on Midsommar: I needed Henrik to be able to envision the geography of the Hårga houses so that we could construct their world from scratch.

Whether it’s the miniature dollhouses of Hereditary or the Hårga village of Midsommar, I somehow put myself in the position of having to build complex sets in a short period of time—perhaps just to remove years from my life. Henrik had to simply trust me as to why certain rooms were positioned in the houses, and we had two months to build all the sets and cultivate the land on our Hungarian field location. Henrik did an amazing job, which was helped by a shot list method that my production designer on Hereditary, Grace Yun, introduced to us after she had used it while working on Paul Schrader’s films.

Aster and production designer Henrik Svensson had just two months to build Midsommar‘s Hårga Village from the ground up.

Grace suggested that we do it on a dry erase board, drawing up the blocking of our characters and a game plan for each scene—essentially an overhead view of our space. In this overview, you might have a circle that represents a character with the number one next to it and an arrow that points to where the character moves from his or her initial spot, with the number two next to that spot. In any given scene, one or more characters might move up to 20 times. You’ll also have a little box icon that represents the camera and arrows pointing to where it will move—again, both marked by number.

We only managed to plot out about half of the shot list before we were scheduled to shoot, so I made sure to walk Henrik and Pawel through the whole list each night before the next shoot day. We didn’t always have a chance to discuss these read-throughs at length, so Pawel went out to spend three full days in the fields, watching where the sun began and where it traveled, considering when we would need to get each shot. Shooting for days in the pure, white, hot, chalky outdoors with sunlight so utterly blinding you can’t keep your eyes open, our cast and crew and I thought we were going crazy. We had no idea if the film would even be coherent by the end, and we were relieved that it is. MM

Question: Chief Wiggum says that Space Invaders was an addictive video game, and Groundskeeper Willie says, "Video game?" I don't understand why he is so shocked. Could someone help please?

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.

 Explore | ulcinj

Explore Montenegro

Ulcinj, located on the southernmost part of the Montenegrin and Adriatic coast, has a long history; beginning in the 5th century BCE when it is was a Greek fishing settlement. Later on, it was ruled by the Romans, Venetians and Turks until at eventually became part of Montenegro in the 19th century. According to one legend, the famous writer Cervantes was once sold as a slave here, at the Slave’s Market (Trg robova) in the Old town. This may explain the peculiar similarity between Ulcinj’s former name"Dulcigno" (as it was called by the Venetians) and "Dulcinea", the name of one of female characters from "Don Quijote".

On a small island, that is, a cliff, northwest of Ulcinj, in the inlet KruÄe, there are the ruins of what were thought to be the remnants of the Old Town of Ulcinj - Dolcigno Vecchio. According to the Venetian historical documents, it was assumed that the ancient Olcinium was located between this crag and the shore and that it sank but the later archaeological explorations have found that a small signal station (specula) was placed on this rock, that is, on this little island in the ancient times, and that in the Middle Ages a fortress was built there which served as a watchtower.

The City is surrounded by about 80.000 olive trees and is knownas a city with the largest number of sunny days in the year.

The Old Town is a heart of cultural heritage of Ulcinj. On the upper plateau of the fortress, there is a museum complex of the city which is where the most interesting monuments of the history of Ulcinj are located. There is a church-mosque converted into a museum where all findings from the Old Town are exhibited. Right behind the museum there is Kula BalšiÄ‡a (the BalšiÄ‡’s Tower) whose premises are used today by a gallery. In front of it there is a small square, once known as Trg robova (the Slave Square) which is enclosed by casemates (arches) of the fortress. A Northwest of Ulcinj, in the inlet KruÄe, there are the ruins of the Old Town of Ulcinj - Dolcigno Vecchio. According to the Venetian historical documents, it was assumed that the ancient Olcinium was located between this crag and the shore and that it sank but later archaeological explorations have found that a small signal station was placed on this rock, and that in the Middle Ages a fortress was built there and functioned as a watchtower.

Nearby there is the Ethnological Museum with an extremely rich collection of exhibits while many streets lead to the lower plateau of the fortress. In front of the southern entrance to the city foundation of Bogorodicna crkva (the Orthodox Church of the Holy Mother of God) from the twelfth century is located which was later converted to the Catholic church of St. Marko. Not far from there, there is a Turkish powder magazine from the eighteenth century covered in irregular-shape calotte. On the place where today’s Palata Venecija (Palace of Venice) stands there were the remains of the building which was assumed to have been the seat of the governor of the city during the Venetian rule. Not far from Palata Venecija there is Dvori Balsica (The BalšiÄ‡s’ Castle) which consists of a large Venetian building.

Šasko lake – this is the eyes of Ulcinj, full of life and long history where you will feel like in heaven. Šasko lake is located in the vicinity of the city of Ulcinj. It is the lake of great beauty, clarity, calmness and rich in fish. It is the shelter of many species of birds. Ruins of the "ancient city of SvaÄ” lie of the shores of Šasko Lake. The legends say that the city had as many churches as there are days in the year.
This is the place ideal for picnics, outdoor activities, playing football, swimming in warm water, sailing…For the photographer, the explorer, the lazy dreamer or anyone who wants to experience the nature in all its glory Šasko lake will not disappoint you.

Ada Bojana is uninhabited river island at the very end of Large beach- Velika plaÅ¾a in Ulcinj, at the point where very beautiful and very special river Bojana is separating from it- at its mouth to the Adriatic sea.
But Ada is much more then geographic location; it is a true miracle of nature.
If you ever dreamt of the ultimate getaway, there is no better place in the world than Ada Bojana, since it is hidden from the sight, flurry and noise of the city. Surrounded by pure beauty, adorned with Mediterranean plants Ada offers ideal setting for a unique and tranquil vacation. This beach creates peace and ultimate joy not only with its serene surroundings but with the most beautiful sunsets in the Adriatic with which visitors usually fall in love at first sight.
One specialty of Ada is that it is also a nudist resort skillfully hidden from curious eyes, surrounded by a beautiful river Bojana on two sides and by the cleanest sea water ever on the third side. However, don’t let the slow pace deceive you since this place is teeming with life.
The active-minded can always enjoy very popular four legged recreation- horses, photography, kite surfing which is very popular here, while you can also laze on secluded points free of harassment.
Due to the fact Ada is natural law protected habitat to a 143 species of fish and near 300 species of birds it is one very special ecosystem and unique place to enjoy.
Ada has reputation for gentleness, for specific energy, a sublime calm, spiritual glossiness, and skipping it on your way would be a true sin.

Velika plaÅ¾a or Large beach is 12. km long and wide cca 100 m. It has, not without reason, been called Ulcinj’s Copacabana. It is stretched from Porto Milena to the river mouth of Bojana., at only 4km away from the town. Swimming here presents special pleasure due to its whitish sand which in size is not bigger than 0.5mm. It has many beneficial effects for persons with circulation disorders as well as any neurological issues or psychosomatic disorders. It is fenced by beautiful pines and Mediterranean vegetation. It is zero polluted and offers wide range of possibilities for water sports, but primarily it is popular for kite surfing. Other sports on water, kayaking, rowing, sailing or fishing are also a real treat here.

Female beach-Zenska plaza did not get its name by accident. It is settled in between hotel Albatros and former hotel Galeb, and it is well-known as a beach which from ancient times presented natural cure for women with reproductive issues. It is covered with pebbles, 100 m in length, with the shallow water at the beginning of beach. It is also a beautiful, restful place to enjoy.

Wine and dine
There is no place where guests are so engaged in atmosphere of the location as in Ä†iÄ‡kova Äarda at Ada. It is place where guest creates an image and story of the place. Specific thing about this restaurant is that guests are writing their names, messages, impressions or lyrics on the wooden interior. This is how the piece of their experience lives forever here. This is one of the cult places for body and soul, place which means relaxation at its finest. If you want to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets on the Adriatic, while indulging the tastes of an amazing fresh fish and meat specialties, one of the best fish stew ever, visit ÄŒarda is a must. Ask a waiter for news in offer and recommendations but ‘Bojana fish stew” should be first on your wish list. See more at: http://findinmontenegro.com/item/restaurant-cickova-carda-ada-bojana-ulcinj/

Restaurant Miško was built 1991 and at that time it was the only fish restaurant on Bojana. It is located at the right side of Bojana, nearby bridge, and from the first day of its existence its praxis implies preparation of excellent fresh fish and frutti di mare. Fish stew here is also famous and delicious. Miško presents symbiotic meeting of fish tradition and modern, top hospitality industry. Walls are decorated with items from fishermen life, while immaculate tables remind us that we are still in the exclusive restaurant. By the way, wine cards for such a small tavern are impressive. http://www.restoranmisko.com/

All in all, get ready for the beautiful feast that Ada has to offer you, from international cuisines to impeccably fresh sea food. On Ada there is simply something for every taste!

Ulcinj Entertainment
In the Ulcinj Old Town, at the Slaves’ Square in a beautiful atmosphere in front of the monumental Tower of BalšiÄ‡ during the first three weeks in August there is a manifestation held called "Ljetnja scena – Summer Scene". Here you will find wonderful, multi-media, theatre-in-the round, presenting highly informative and entertaining content. Tourists and visitors can attend interesting plays, musical and literature program presented by foreign and domestic authors.

All yoga lovers should not miss Yoga retreat on Ada in period from 18-25 June. Details to be found on: http://aktivniodmor.net/dogadaji/yoga-retreat-na-adi-bojani-jun/

There is also something very Ulcinj-style, an intimate, boutique festival with international acts and DJs on one of the most stunning beaches in Europe, Velika plaÅ¾a. It is now almost a part of urban tradition. It will be kept from 30 June - 03 July 2016 while more details can be found on their official site. http://www.southernsoulfestival.me/

Last but not the least, there is Kite fest for all kite surfing lovers which is to be held at Velika plaÅ¾a from Friday 24 June 2016, 12:00 till Monday 4 July 2016, 15:00
See more at: http://www.kitesurfclub.me/

Bar and Ulcinj are maybe not typical tourism jewels of Adriatic. They don’t have coasts where sky kisses the sea (apart from Ada where the kiss and unity of the nature is present at its finest).

Ulcinj and Bar are more about ancient, tradition, about merge of influences, peaceful nature, yoga, kitesurfing, barefoot in the curing sand, they are about Adam and Eve costumes..
You leave them-planning to return the same day...

An Invitation to Join Us

After more than thirty years of mentoring international students and young professionals (SYPs), I believe I have learned something about this immensely rewarding activity. This is what Mentors do:

  • transfer knowledge

  • share experience

  • give direction

  • point out options

  • probe thinking

  • enhance self-confidence

  • speed understanding

  • strengthen reasoning

  • trigger action,

  • ignite passion, and

  • transmit wisdom

In a few words, Mentors carry out many essential functions that go beyond the scope of formal coaching and other educational methods. Mentoring is largely "organic" and requires the development of good chemistry and a caring relationship between SYP and Mentor. By definition, Mentors are wise, generous, useful, attentive, and supportive of the expectations and aspirations of SYPs. Mentors help SYPs develop to their greatest potential to fully engage and succeed in their professional careers.

Of course, each Mentor knows the best way to fulfill his or her role, but all Mentors understand that this interaction requires plasticity, creativity and a sense of renewal every time that a Mentor-SYP relationship begins. A good Mentor connects and tells stories about his or her own life and professional experience, and by listening and understanding, Mentées acquire wisdom that goes beyond their own chronological age. Mentoring takes place in an environment of respect and trust which facilitates exploring, explaining, challenging, and acting upon new and old ideas regarding life and work.

But this is not a one-way street. In turn, SYPs give their Mentors the reciprocal gifts of :

  • validation of their professional career

  • fulfillment and sense of usefulness

  • trust and confidence

  • respect and admiration

  • stimulus and new ideas

  • memory retrieval and fresh knowledge

  • inspiration and enthusiasm

  • strength and energy

  • help and collaboration and, especially,

  • hope for the future of global health and human development.

Ideally, the ultimate goal and highest reward for both the SYP and the Mentor is the achievement of the SYP's goal: a new job or a promotion, an advanced academic degree, a paper for publication, a proposal for funding, a research project, a consultancy for a prestigious institution, or any other major accomplishments that the SYP, with the help of his or her Mentor, wanted and worked for during and after the program.

I hope that after reading the rest of the information on our website, you will be curious and interested in the work that we do. Most importantly, we want to wholeheartedly invite you to be part of this multi-country voluntary enterprise. Please share with us your enthusiasm, your knowledge, and your commitment to a better health and to a better world.

We look forward to welcoming you to MultiPOD Mentoring in the near future*.

                                                                        Principal Mentor and Program Coordinator

*The application and registration period for the 2021 Mentoring cycle starts on November 1, 2020 and ends on January 31, 2021. The mentoring program runs from the first week of March to the first week of December, 2021. In special circumstances and depending on the availability of mentors, applicants may be admitted at any time during the mentoring cycle.

Recipe: Buttercream Chocolates

These buttercream chocolates never last long in Ashley’s home. Since she was a young girl, her mother used to make these chocolates over the holidays and they were always a family favorite. When Ashley moved to Thailand, she made these chocolates to share with students of hers at the school she taught English at. They are sweet and rich and hard to eat just one of. You can enjoy them plain or vary the flavor the centers.

Buttercream Centers

1 package (3 ounces) softened cream cheese

½ cup softened butter or margarine

4 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

  1. Beat cream cheese and butter in a large mixer bowl until smooth.

  2. Gradually blend in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla.

  3. (If necessary, chill about an hour or until mixture is firm enough to handle)

  4. Shape into 1-inch balls and place on wax paper-covered cookie sheet and cover loosely

  5. Chill 3-4 hours or overnight (centers should feel dry to touch before coating)

  6. Makes about 5 dozen centers

For flavored buttercream centers, divide mixture into parts and add any one of the following to each part:

  1. ½ teaspoon almond extract

  2. ½ teaspoon brandy extract

  3. 2/3 cup flaked coconut

  4. ¼ teaspoon mint extract plus 3 drops green food coloring

  5. ¼ teaspoon orange extract

  6. ¼ teaspoon rum extract

  7. ½ teaspoon strawberry extract plus 3 drops red food coloring

Chocolate Coating

1 bag of milk chocolate chips (11.5 ounce package)

2 tablespoons of shortening (do NOT use butter, margarine, or oil as a substitute)

  1. Cover cookie sheet with wax paper and secure with tape

  2. Place chocolate and shortening in a glass bowl

  3. Place bowl into a larger glass bowl or pan of very warm (not hot) water that reaches halfway up the smaller bowl. Be careful not to let any of the water mix with the chocolate mixture.

  4. Stir mixture constantly with rubber spatula until chocolate is completely melted and smooth (approximately 20 minutes).

  5. Remove bowl of chocolate mixture from the water and set one chilled buttercream center on fork.

  6. Completely dip center into coating, gently tap fork on side of bowl to remove excess, and place onto prepared cookie sheet.

  7. Decorate top with small amount of chocolate by using the tip of the fork or with optional nuts

  8. Repeat with remaining centers

  9. Store loosely covered in a cool, dry place.

Note: If chocolate becomes too thick while coating, repeat process of warming chocolate in the warm water bowl.

Garnishment of wages

What does Garnishment of wages mean?

Wage garnishment is a legal option authorized by court which allows an entity, business, or the state or federal government to take a certain portion of a worker's paycheck to repay a debt or financial obligation.

The wage garnishment is deducted by the employer and generally only allowed after a court order has been issued. Wage garnishments are allowed to collect IRS or state tax debt, child support or spousal support payments, medical debts or credit card debts. Some states, however, bar wage garnishment for certain types of consumer debts.

How much can be taken?

Wage garnishments are limited by Title III of the Consumer Protection Act. The law also protects a certain percentage of the employee's wages, commissions, bonuses and salaries. Under the law there is a set amount of money which can be garnished each pay period, regardless of the amount owed or the number of garnishment orders.

The amount owed, however, may vary based on the type of garnishment. For example, for garnishment other than for child support, bankruptcy, or any state or federal tax debts the law limits the garnishment to either "25% of the employee's disposable earnings, or the amount by which an employee's disposable earnings are greater than 30 times the federal minimum wage (currently $7.25 an hour)."

Child support wage garnishments are paid out at a higher rate. For instance, current child support garnishment laws allow 50% of an employee's disposable income to be taken for child support, assuming the worker has another child or a spouse. If the worker is not supporting anyone but him or herself the law allows up to 60% of their disposable income to be garnished.

Other federal or state wage garnishments or bankruptcy court garnishments are exempt from the rules outlined above and are not limited by the current wage garnishment law.

Stopping a wage garnishment

Some wage garnishments can be stopped through bankruptcy, by responding to the creditor and paying the debts, seeking state-specific remedies, getting credit debt counseling, objecting to the garnishment, arguing the creditor did not follow the proper wage garnishment procedures, filing bankruptcy, disputing the judgment, continued negotiations, or proving the creditor has already received payment for the debt.

Unfortunately, there are some types of debts, such as child support and spousal support payments that cannot be stopped through the methods outlined above. In some cases you will simply have to meet your debt obligations. If your financial position has changed you may also return to court and attempt to have the payments lowered.

Notes from Rutgers' exhibition romp of Baruch

Jerry Carino

PISCATAWAY – Late Wednesday night, Bishop Daniels and Myles Mack had a chat in their dorm room. After the Rutgers men's basketball team got crushed by Boston College in a scrimmage, the starting guards resolved to do better.

"We said, 'We have to fix the problems now,'" Daniels recounted. "This can't go down the same road it went down last year."

They focused on an area they could control: Ball-handling.

"We know we've got to protect the ball more," Daniels said. "With Kadeem (Jack) out, there's a lot of pressure on us."

Things went better in Saturday's exhibition against Division III Baruch. Daniels hit a 3-pointer 14 seconds after tip-off and Rutgers never looked back, posting an 86-42 win. The performance capped a tense week during which head coach Eddie Jordan rode the players hard.

"It wasn't just angry Eddie; it was angry players too," Daniels said. "This was about fixing the things we did wrong and punishing this team today."

Daniels did his part, chalking up 11 points, two assists and no turnovers on 4-of-6 shooting over 16 efficient minutes. Rutgers committed 12 turnovers, which was an improvement on the 29-turnover debacle in the scrimmage. Obviously the weak competition helped, but the Scarlet Knights seemed to do the right things on offense, from spacing to ball-sharing to shot selection.

"I thought our guards got better," Jordan said. "They weren't where we need to be by Sunday."

The regular season opens next Sunday when a highly regarded George Washington team comes to the RAC. One subplot between now and then will be the condition of Jack's sprained right thumb. The standout forward had the cast removed Friday and is wearing a soft wrap.

"He'll be reevaluated on Friday and Saturday and will be questionable for Sunday," Jordan said.

Secret weapon unveiled

Khalil Batie probably wasn't on Baruch's scouting report, but the walk-on sophomore guard tallied seven points, one assist and one steal in 11 minutes. He saw time in both halves, hitting a 3-pointer in the first and checking back in early in the second.

"He's my secret weapon," Jordan joked. "I like Khalil. He's come a long way. He's been very good for us in practice. I'm a fair coach, and he deserves what he got."

With Jack out, Rutgers has just nine scholarship players. So Batie might see some fill-in minutes over the next few weeks.

"Coach showed a lot of confidence in me," the Trenton Catholic graduate said. "He saw how much I improved over the past year. I wanted to show him that he didn't make a mistake, that I can do it."

He got plenty of high-fives and pats on the back from teammates.

"We love it when a player off the bench gives us that type of effort," Daniels said. "It excites the team."

Odds and ends

Former Rutgers big man Austin Johnson made his broadcasting debut as the color analyst on the RVision broadcast that was streamed live by the Big Ten Network. Johnson worked alongside play-by-play voice and Highland Park native Danny Breslauer.

Another Rutgers walk-on guard, former Spotswood High School standout Jake Dadika, logged nine minutes and hit a late-game layup.

Bridgewater resident Ray Perone was one of the three officials working the contest.

My Debt

How to Consolidate Your Debts in Canada

If you have a number of debts, you may wish to merge them all into one loan. This is called a debt consolidation loan. There may be a number of reasons why you would wish to do this. Below are the most common reasons:

  • Simplify your finances by only having one monthly payment rather than many
  • Use the consolidation loan to pay off higher interest debts so that you are left with one loan at a lower interest rate

How to consolidate credit card debts and loans in Canada.To learn more about what debt consolidation is and how it works in Canada, click here.

To consolidate all of your debts, your first option would typically be to approach your bank or credit union and see if they can help you.

Add the Debt to Your Mortgage

If you have a mortgage, you might look to see if you have enough equity in your home to consolidate your debt with your mortgage. This is usually people’s preferred option since mortgage interest rates are usually much lower than other loan interest rates, and mortgages can be amortized (paid off) over 25 years. This means you can arrange much lower monthly payments than with another type of loan. If you do choose to go this route, you should make sure that you try to pay off this extra mortgage as quickly as possible and don’t do this very often. If you find yourself doing this every year or two, that means that you are spending more than you make, and it is going to take forever to get your mortgage paid off at this rate.

Get a Debt Consolidation Loan

You can see if your bank or credit union is able to provide you with a debt consolidation loan. Banks and credit unions are typically only willing to lend people around 10% of their net worth (your assets minus your debts) on an unsecured basis. So if you ask your bank for a debt consolidation loan of $20,000, but your net worth is only $20,000, they will probably decline your request. They may be able to give you a $2,000 unsecured loan (10% of your net worth), but not much more. When the economy is doing really well and jobs are easy to find, some banks may lend people much larger amounts of money without requiring any security, but this is more of an exception rather than the norm.

So if you approach your bank or credit union for a loan to consolidate your debts, they are most likely to say, “Sure, we would be happy to lend you the money if you have some security for the loan.” If you own a newer vehicle without a loan on it, you could use that as security for your consolidation loan. In this case, a bank would usually lend you up to maximum black book value of your vehicle (the “black book” is a database of very conservative vehicle values. These values will be much less than you could sell your vehicle for in the newspaper or on Craigslist). If you have any other valuable asset like a boat, motorcycle, RV, mobile home, non-RRSP mutual funds or piece of property, your bank may be able to use one of these assets as security as well.

One thing to be careful about with a debt consolidation loan is that many people in Canada try to obtain consolidated credit payments in order to resolve their financial problems and get out of debt. However, if you don't create a monthly spending plan and budget your money, it's very easy to continue relying on credit and get further into debt rather than get out of debt.

See if Family Will Lend You Money

If your bank or credit union can’t help you, then see if maybe a family member or friend is able to lend you the money necessary to consolidate your debts. If your “rich” relative says no, don’t be upset with them. It is everyone’s choice to do with their money as they choose. Maybe your relative’s finances are tight right now—even though they may look successful to you. Lending money to family members involves added risks. If a relative lends you money, but then you lose your job or get hurt and are unable to pay them back, that may sour your relationship with them. If your relative can’t afford to forgive the loan to save their relationship with you, then this could forever cast a shadow over your relationship with them. A wise relative may not wish to put themselves or you in a situation like this. This may be another reason why a relative may not be willing to lend you money. So don’t hold it against them. If a relative is able to lend you money, then make sure that you honour your agreement with them and always make your payments on time as agreed.

Other Options

If you are not able to obtain a debt consolidation loan, then maybe you can consider other options like selling assets to pay off your debts, downsizing your lifestyle to save money, cutting out expensive hobbies to save money, finding a cheaper home or cheaper place to rent, or increasing your income by taking on another job, taking in ESL students, teaching ESL, or something else. By increasing your income you can pay off your debts faster, and by cutting expenses you can save money to pay off debts faster. If you are able to do both, then you will be able to pay off your debts even more quickly. If you are serious about paying off your debts, there are ways to do it. You may have to be willing to make short term sacrifices for a better life in the long run. You may also have to consider the possibility that you may not be able to afford your current lifestyle. If you want to change your situation, you will have to do some things differently. Be honest with yourself, look at your situation with an open mind and seek the advice of others who you consider to be wise and trustworthy.

Debt Management Program or Orderly Payment of Debts

If none of the above options will work for you, you can speak with a Credit Counsellor to see what other options may be available to you. You may qualify for a debt management program or orderly payment of debts program (depending on your province). These programs help people consolidate all of their credit card payments into one monthly payment and often involve creditors reducing their interest rates to help you get your debts paid off in a reasonable amount of time. These types of debt management plans often provide the added benefit of helping people identify the reasons why their debts got out of hand, and then they help people learn the skills necessary to manage their money well and not repeat their mistakes.

CDC emails reveal culture of deep corruption and scientific dishonesty

Image: CDC emails reveal culture of deep corruption and scientific dishonesty

(Natural News) If you had any doubts about the culture of corruption at the CDC, a look at some internal correspondence regarding vaccine studies should clear things up for you. This email correspondence, which is the subject of a recent exposé by Vera Sharav for the World Mercury Project, shows just how far officials at the CDC will go to shield vaccines and their recommended childhood vaccination schedule.

According to the emails, their deception extends to outsourcing epidemiological studies that are pretty irrelevant to the current vaccine exposure of American children but awfully convenient for furthering their cause.

The CDC has often used “The Danish Studies” to support their claim that the mercury-based preservative thimerosal used in vaccines does not have a statistically significant link to autism, although it remains a very controversial study. Their choice of Denmark as a population study comparator to the U.S. for vaccine risks was a very deliberate one.

According to an email exchange, several of the doctors involved in the studies acknowledged that the vaccination schedule in the U.S. exposes American babies to far higher thimerosal doses than European babies. In fact, the Danish babies used in the study got 75 percent less thimerosal than American babies.

In Denmark, the only childhood vaccine given to babies younger than five months was monovalent pertussis, while American children were given multiple doses of pertussis, diphtheria, polio, tetanus, and hepatitis B vaccines by that age. This means the Danish studies simply cannot be compared to American children and have no value in determining how risky thimerosal vaccines are – it is a case of comparing apples to oranges, if you will.

In one email, the author of a 2001 study whose first phase found a 7.6 increased risk factor of developing autism from thimerosal exposure, Dr. Tom Verstraeten, voices concerns about scientific dishonesty when writing to a heavy metal toxicity expert about his VSD study. He said that he couldn’t make the statistical link between autism and thimerosal disappear when he wrote: “It just won’t go away.”

Apparently, they did find a way, however. In the study, one of the underhanded tactics used to diminish the risk included changing the cut-off age to eliminate the children who were later diagnosed with autism. Some of the other tactics uncovered by an analysis included inconsistent inclusion criteria, inconsistent diagnostic criteria and the omission or deletion of data. Verstraeten left the CDC to work for vaccine maker GlaxoSmithKline shortly after the revised findings were released.

One pediatrician. Dr. Edward Yazbak, stated: “They hope to bury evidence of the dangers of vaccines. At the same time, they have waged a misinformation campaign in making claims that skyrocketing Autism/ASD rates are due to better diagnostics.”

Study’s findings widely disputed

In a 2014 review, independent scientists who took a closer look at the six studies the CDC often cites as evidence supporting the safety of vaccines was published in the journal Biomed Research International. In the study, researchers listed 165 other studies that refute the notion that thimerosal is safe. Sixteen of the studies looked specifically at the effects thimerosal can have on infants and children, finding deaths, malformations, neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, developmental delays and allergic reactions.

This type of corruption isn’t a one-off incident that happened years ago; in fact, this behavior continues to this day. Just last month, CDC director Brenda Fitzgerald was forced to resign after it was discovered that she owns shares in vaccine manufacturer Merck, erasing any lingering doubts anyone might have had about whether or not the government agency has a vested interest in promoting vaccines.

Better than stimulant medicines, saffron could be the next ADHD treatment

Image: Better than stimulant medicines, saffron could be the next ADHD treatment

(Natural News) Curcumin has been in the spotlight for the past few years as scientists discover more and more of the impressive health benefits it offers, but another yellow herb could be trying to knock it off its throne. Researchers are becoming increasingly interested in exploring the use of saffron to address mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s, and now a study has shown that it could be a very promising treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.

In a study that appeared in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, researchers looked at children and adolescents between the ages of 6 and 17 who had been officially diagnosed with ADHD. They were divided into two groups in the randomized, controlled trial. One was given 30 milligrams of saffron per day over the course of six weeks, while the other took Ritalin (methylphenidate), which is currently a standard treatment for the mental illness.

The researchers found that saffron worked just as well as Ritalin at addressing ADHD symptoms. This is excellent news for the 30 percent of patents who don’t respond to stimulants or who can’t tolerate them, and it’s likely to inspire further studies and better future treatments.

Ritalin is one of the most commonly prescribed ADHD drugs, and it brings with it a host of undesirable side effects. For example, although it can reduce the restlessness often experienced by ADHD suffers, it can make anxiety even worse, even at normal doses. It can also make people more irritable, nervous, or hostile. As a stimulant, it can make it hard for people to fall asleep at night and raise their heart rate. It can also raise blood pressure; those with high blood pressure are generally advised not to take it.

Another big problem with Ritalin is that it can temporarily slow children’s growth, especially when they first start taking it. In fact, children are sometimes advised to take a break from it – often during summer so as not to affect concentration in school – to give their body a chance to grow. This is hardly something most parents want their children to take if it can be avoided.

It also has an adverse impact on circulation, sometimes making people’s fingers and toes cold or causing a bluish skin tone. In addition, it is known to cause stomach aches, nausea and diarrhea. Ritalin can even be abused, leading to feelings of hostility and paranoia, not to mention the withdrawal symptoms people face upon stopping it.

Saffron is a safer alternative

Saffron, in contrast, is safe when it’s consumed in small amounts like those used in the study, although it shouldn’t be used by those who are pregnant or have bleeding disorders. Natural and filled with vitamins, minerals and other compounds, it actually improves blood pressure and enhances the immune system.

Saffron is often used as a spice or to color food like paellas and stews. It contains a-crocin, a type of carotenoid that serves as an antioxidant and can protect you from disease and infection.

In addition to its effects on ADHD, saffron has been shown to alleviate anxiety, which 60 percent of people with ADHD also suffer from. It can also lift your mood overall and lead to general mental health improvements. That’s why it has long been a natural depression remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Double-blind studies have shown it to work just as well as drugs like Prozac in treating depression.

The idea that so many people, especially children, could potentially be spared the risks of pharmaceuticals like Ritalin in favor of spices like saffron is a very promising one, and we hope that this study will lead to safer treatments in the future.

Taxpayer-supported NPR embraces looting and rioting — how long before the Left-wing network voices support for political genocide against conservatives?

Bypass censorship by sharing this link:
Image: Taxpayer-supported NPR embraces looting and rioting — how long before the Left-wing network voices support for political genocide against conservatives?

(Natural News) In the dystopian, Orwellian world of the Left, up is down, right is wrong, wrong is right, bad is good, and criminal activity is the new justice.

Oh, and there is no good racism or class warfare unless the racism is directed against white people and the class warfare consumes the productive wealthy and middle class.

As noted by Newsbusters, National Public Radio (NPR) recently spoke favorably of a new book “In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action,” by transgender anarchist Vicky Osterweil, a Philadelphia-based writer who contributes mostly to Leninist/Stalinist publications like The Nation and The Baffler.

And yes, just as the title suggests, Osterweil argues in favor of looting because of her “Marxist-informed” thinking.

As Publisher’s Weekly notes favorably, according to reviews posted on Amazon (where else?), “Osterweil debuts with a provocative, Marxist-informed defense of looting as a radical and effective protest tactic…a bracing rethink of the goals and methods of protest.”

To be sure, it’s Marxist-informed alright: Anti-capitalist, anti-law and order, anti-civil society, and anti-property rights — pretty much everything that makes America America. (Related: Why should taxpayers keep paying the salaries of sex perverts and gropers at PBS and NPR?)

And why not? As independent journalist Andy Ngo posted on Twitter, Osterweil is Antifa all the way (fascists who claim to be anti-fascists by pretending that conservatives, constitutionalists, and supporters of President Trump are the new ‘Nazis’).

According to NPR’s Natalie Escobar:

Now, as protests and riots continue to grip cities, she argues that looting is a powerful tool to bring about real, lasting change in society. The rioters who smash windows and take items from stores, she says, are engaging in a powerful tactic that questions the justice of “law and order,” and the distribution of property and wealth in an unequal society.

This is insane, point-blank. But it gets worse.

In an interview highlighted by NewsBusters, Escobar asked Osterweil what justifies looting someone else’s property.

“It gets people what they need for free immediately… It also attacks the very way in which food and things are distributed. It attacks the idea of property, and it attacks the idea that in order for someone to have a roof over their head or have a meal ticket, they have to work for a boss, in order to buy things that people just like them somewhere else in the world had to make under the same conditions,” Osterweil notes further.

“It points to the way in which that’s unjust. And the reason that the world is organized that way, obviously, is for the profit of the people who own the stores and the factories. So you get to the heart of that property relation, and demonstrate that without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free,” she continued.

That’s just nuts. For one, sure, you can loot — let’s call it stealing, because that’s what it is — and ‘get stuff for free’ but only for a brief period. Once all the free stuff is stolen, there won’t be anything left to take because people will simply stop making things. If there is no profit incentive, and thus no way to earn a living, why build computers, sneakers, cars, widgets, and whatnot? Why manufacture food for the masses? Why process drinking water or pick up trash or do anything else that a functioning society requires?

Not everyone has to work for a ‘boss;’ many of the businesses that Osterweil claims are okay to be looted belong to people who use them to earn a living (they are their own bosses). But if their shops are destroyed and their property stolen, how are they supposed to live?

What Osterweil is advocating is that the human race turn into locusts who do nothing but consume and destroy rather than innovate, build, create and expand.

She and those who think as she does are the antithesis of order. They are chaos. They endorse the destruction of their political opposites — conservatives and especially Trump supporters.

And NPR, our tax-supported network, is promoting her. How long before they interview an ‘author’ who justifies the elimination of political opponents? Because that’s coming next. See more news about NPR at
