This edition’s film review is in keeping with Ladyfest. Hannah Arendt is about the exceptional thinker, professor of philosophy and political theorist. It appeared in the latest EurAsia programme of PÖFF and Estonian viewers have the opportunity to see it again starting from March at cinema Sõprus.

Hannah Arendt (2012, Saksamaa, Heimatfilm) Directed by Margarethe von Trotta, screenplay by Pamela Katz and Margarethe von Trotta, cinematography by Caroline Champetier, music by André Mergenthaler, starring Barbara Sukowa, Axel Milberg, Janet McTeer etc.

A still from the film

A still from the film

It is said that female film directors can better identify with female subjects. Hanna Arendt is a real treasure amongst the filmography of Margarethe von Trotta – films that portray powerful women. This particular film focuses on the life of Hannah Arendt, specifically the period she spent working at The New Yorker. During that time she wrote a book about the controversial Adolf Eichmann trial in 1961 in Jerusalem. SS-Obersturmbannführer Eichmann was the “expert on Jewish affairs” for the Third Reich. He supervised the confiscation of lands owned by the Jews, deportation into ghettos and the activities carried out in many concentration camps. He pleaded not guilty at his trial, stating that he had merely been following orders.

The Eichmann trial formed the basis for later electric-shock experiments by Stanley Milgram, which suggested that people obeying authority can act against their own conscience. Hannah Arendt also reached the same conclusions, however, many of her contemporaries struggled to understand her. Eichmann’s ordinariness and “normal” mental state inspired Arendt to create the theory on the banality of evil – evil simply stems out of the need of ordinary people to conform to orders. What makes Adolf Eichmann’s war crimes strikingly eerie is that he didn’t act on personal principles or out of belief. He was just doing his job and trying to get ahead.

The cinematographer is the remarkably experienced Caroline Champetier, who was also a part of another PÖFF success – Holy Motors. She has successfully harnessed the possibilities of wide- angle shots. There are a lot of beautiful frames that make the most of the whole of the screen space, lending a theatrical air The speeches of Arendt and monologues of the Israeli Attorney General, Gideon Hausner, also add a dramatic effect. Incorporating so much dialogue is a bold choice, considering the shrinking length of dialogue in Hollywood productions. Excellent acting and skillful employment of the camera make the dialogue appear outwardly effortless. Attention to detail is evident throughout the film – from expert make-up to interesting locations.

However, the in-depth analysis on Hannah Arendt slightly impaired the development of other characters. Supporting figures were not that convincing, leaving the impression that the screenplay had lacked focus in that direction altogether. Another thing that remained unanswered was why did the director decide to choose this story and why now? On the other hand, the choice was justified as the film helped understand the atrocities – although much discussed – the Jewish people had to live through.

Barbara Sukowa portrays Arendt’s, then in her fifties, fiery and feisty nature, willing to cross all lines in the name of truth. However, there is also a softer, more intimate side to the portrayal – meine kleine Hannah (my little Hannah in German) – as witnessed by her husband and close friends. This addition is what, in my eyes, took the film from good to excellent.

Grigori Levitski (27 October 1852 Kharkov – 26 October 1918 St. Petersburg) Director in 1894−1908

Levitski finished high school in his home-town with a golden medal and in 1870-74 studied at Kharkov University in the Department of Physics and Chemistry, at the Mining Institute of St. Petersburg, the Department of Mathematics of St. Petersburg University. He graduated from St. Petersburg University with the degree of a candidate of mathematics and received a grant from the department to prepare his Master’s thesis. At the same time he worked at the Pulkovo Observatory, first as a part-time astronomer and since 1876 a calculator. After the defence of the Master’s thesis “About determining the orbits of binary stars”(1879) he began to work at Kharkov University, first as a private assistant professor, later as an assistant professor and in 1884 he became professor extraordinary of astronomy being at the same time the head of the observatory. In Kharkov Levitski founded a new observatory which was equipped with modern technology. In 1893 also the department of seismology was established at the observatory.

In 1894 Levitski was transformed to the post of the acting professor ordinary of astronomy of Tartu University and the director of the Tartu Observatory. In 1898 Levitski became honorary doctor of Kharkov University and he was appointed professor ordinary at Tartu University. From the year 1900 he was a member of the Central Committee of Seismology permanently working at the Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg. In the autumn of 1903 Levitski was appointed for four years the Rector of Tartu University but in the autumn of 1905 he was freed from the post. In 1904 he had retired with the right to continue work. In 1905 he was given the title of professor emeritus. After the year 1905 Levitski did not deliver lectures. In February 1907 Pokrovski was elected the new professor of astronomy. For one and a half years Levitski remained the director of the observatory.

At Tartu University Levitski lectured on general astronomy, higher geodesy, practical and theoretical astronomy. He tried to improve the poor economic situation of the Tartu Observatory. The mechanic Herbst was invited from Pulkovo who mended old instruments and ordered new equipment: the Repsold zenith telescope and horizontal pendulums of different constructions for seismic measurements. In 1895 a stone pavilion with the revolving cupola was built for the zenith telescope; for placing pendulums the old gun powder cellar was adapted. In 1895 systematic visual and in 1897 photographic observations of sunspots started. The Erikson electric clocks were installed. Comets, meteorites, noctilucent clouds were observed involving students in the work. In 1896 the department of seismology was established at the Tartu Observatory and systematic seismological observations were started. Levitski participated in conferences and went on scientific tours in connection with organizing seismic service in Russia. Most of Levitki’s articles and scientific papers during the Tartu period were devoted to determining the orbits of comets but his most important scientific contribution was made by writing science history papers: the Histories of the Observatories of Kharkov and Tartu (1894, 1899) and the Lexicon of Professors of Tartu University (1902-1903).

In 1908 Levitski was appointed the curator of the Vilnius educational district and he left Tartu. In 1911 he went to St. Petersburg and began to work at the Women’s Teacher Training Institute. From 1915 he was the Chairman of the Society of Astronomy of Russia, in 1901-05 the President of the Estonian Naturalists’ Society.

Theory of Production Assignment Help

What do you mean by the theory of production?

The theory of production is mainly a study which emphasis on the production as well as the economic processes of converting the inputs into outputs. As it is in the name, the production is the collective process of resources which creates a product or a service which is likeable to consume or use. The whole process of production is a chain of processes which hold the line for this. The process includes construction, storing, manufacturing, packaging, shipping and transportation. The production is the base for the consumption. The economists have always defined the importance of production as with the importance of consumption. As per the economists, all the other activities other than the final sale, after which the consumer consumes the product or uses the service, is part of the production. The concept which is used in the production process is that of flow concept. This is because the production is calculated solely on the rate of output per period of time. The main elements of production are:

  • The form, in which the good or the service is created or formed.
  • The quantity in which the good or service is produced for the consumption.
  • The spatial as well as the temporal distribution of the good and the service which is produced for the consumption.

The process of production is defined by many as the prolonged process of combining the quantity, size, shape, length, distribution and form with the demand for goods and services. The availability of the good is also formed on the basis of the production rate of the good.

The main definition of production is that it is a process of amalgamating the immaterial inputs and the material inputs and making something which is very useful and for consumption which is the output. Production is basically the act of making a service or a product and is and valuable asset to the buyer. The production is aimed at getting optimum usage of the resources and getting the profit maximization for the company. The main basis of the production is not to make profit and earn money but serve their customers with quality goods.

Production is responsible for balancing the economy. All the economic activities are directly proportional to the satisfaction of the human needs. The measure of the economy well-being is calculated when these needs are fulfilled fully. The two elements of the economic theory are the improvement in the quality and price ratio of the goods and the rise in the incomes from the rise in market production.

If you have any queries and doubts to be cleared, you can choose our Theory of Production assignment help desk and can take help from any of your specific microeconomics tutors of your choice. Our tutors are highly professional and are degree holders from some of the prestigious universities in the country. The tutors which are connected with you will provide you with some extra microeconomics study materials to get you through with the subject with ease. Our services are available 24*7.

What are the factors of production?

The factors of production are the main four elements which are the basis of Production. These are,

  • Land: It is the compilation of all the natural resources like the minerals, air, rivers, surface and sea. Land is mainly the free gift offered to us by the nature. It is fixed in nature.
  • Labor: Labor is the physical or the mental effort put up by a person for the production of any commodity. It is the pure man force worked upon the production of something.
  • Capital: Capital is basically the artificial goods or man made goods which is used extensively in the process of production. Capital, in the production phase is the most mobile factor.
  • Organization: Organization is the head, which controls all the other factors of production. It is the entrepreneur or the coordinator of all the other production factors.

The production function is an equation to count the production value of the company. The production function relates to the functional relationship between the outputs and the inputs during the process of production. Production function is a base for a technical relation with which it connects the factor inputs used during the production and also the level of output usage in the function.

What do you mean by Inputs?

Inputs are basically the factors of the production which are used to carry out the production process. Land, Labor, Capital and Organization are all the inputs in a production process. There are moreover two parts of the inputs, Variable inputs and fixed inputs.

Variable inputs are basically the inputs which remain in the production process for a shorter period of time. In the long run of the production of a company, the factors used in the process varies as per the volume of the outputs. The cost at which the variable inputs are purchased are called the variable costs. Example: labor, raw materials, etc.

On the other hand, there is fixed inputs. Fixed inputs are those inputs which remain in the production process for a long term. The amount remains the same at any level of output. The cost at which the fixed inputs are purchased are called the fixed costs. Example of fixed input are land, building, machinery, etc.

The production value is attained at a marginal value. There are two concepts of production, Average product and Marginal product. Average product is the total ratio of all the products and the one variable input which is used. On the other hand, Marginal product is the rate of change in the total output which is attained as a result change in one variable input.

We provide range of services in our Theory of production assignment help. Apart from assignment help, we also provide homework completion and project completion. And also provide suitable notes for the students to understand the subject better. Our helpline number is 24*7 available.

Theory of Production

What are the laws of production function?

There are two very important laws which concur with the production function, the laws of return scales and the laws of variable proportion. The laws of return scales stats that the long run production function have all the input factors variables. On the other hand, the laws of variable proportion stats that the law of diminishing return applies on the course. It stats the short run production function having at least one input variable.

Homogenous production function

Homogenous production function is the function which stats that all the inputs are variables are variables in the long run. The production function’s nature remains homogenous if all inputs factors are in order increased in the same proportions in order to change the outputs.

Production function Q = f( L,K)
An increase in Q> Q = f(L + L.10%, K + K.10%)- inputs increased same proportion.

A lot of actors are the sons or daughters of actors.

It passes down the lineage like baldness. Some people never live up to their parent's thespian nature, like how (sorry if you're reading this) Max Irons will never be Jeremy Irons. Or Dani Dyer will never be Danny Dyer. I know she's not an actor but the point stands.

And some have a stardom which totally eclipses their predecessors. One such person is Keira Knightley.

I'll be totally honest, I kind of thought Keira Knightley's dad was her dad from Pirates Of The Caribbean, almost like I believed Pirates Of The Caribbean was semi factual.

But it turns out this is not her real life father and he was in fact an actor , who was acting in that film.

That being said, Keira Knightley's dad is also an actor. And he may not have been in Pirates of the Caribbean, but I bet you didn't know that he's been in EastEnders, Midsomer Murders and The Bill.

Yes, the English actor in the 90s trifecta. But actually, Will Knightley's roles weren't all typical of this usual acting pattern.

He didn't appear in all three and then break into big BBC prime time dramas - in fact, he was in The Bill three times as three separate characters.

Will originally appeared as character "Mr. Allen" in a 1987 episode of The Bill, then appeared in an episode in 1996 called Telling Tales, portraying a character named Robin Branston.

Then, for one last hurrah, he showed up a third time as a new character, John Church, in a 1997 episode - 10 years after his first appearance. I believe they call that circularity.

Even more irregularly, his EastEnders and Midsomer Murders appearances weren't anywhere near this time period. He cropped up in Midsomer Murders for the first time in 2003, six years after his final bow in The Bill.

Initially he played a character called Andrew Turner, but he also returned to Midsomer Murders in 2011 to play Max Fuller. Presumably when enough people had forgotten who Andrew Turner was.

Most recently, he cropped up in EastEnders on 7th November 2014 as Henry Summerhayes.

The small parts in what some would describe as entry level British series can be well explained by the fact that Will is more of a stage actor than TV or film, and perhaps because he was also busy raising such a monumental starlet.

You don't just rock up out of the womb knowing how to say "I look rather pretty" like that. That's learned.

AIDAN JONES chats to determined Hammersmith resident Rosemary Pettit, who is taking on the might of the council and its controversial plans for the Goldhawk Estate armed with a saucepan and some grapefruit

DAVID used a stone to floor Goliath - now one determined Hammersmith resident is leading resistance to the council with the power of a seemingly innocuous but no less effective weapon - marmalade.

Rosemary Pettit, membership secretary of the Brackenbury Residents' Association, is selling her homemade grapefruit marmalade at a local delicatessen to raise funds to pay for legal advice for the upcoming planning inquiry into the hotly contested plan to redevelop the Goldhawk Industrial estate.

The scheme, which was passed by a Hammersmith and Fulham Council's planning applications committee last year, has been called in by the Secretary of State for review, after widespread local opposition to the redevelopment of the conservation area. Supporters of the Goldhawk Estate Appeal have taken part in a range of activities - including babysitting and organising car boot sales - to pay for a barrister to fight their corner once an inquiry into the council's decision is opened later this year.

"Any other bright fundraising ideas are most welcome," said Rosemary.

"Barristers cannot be paid by marmalade alone."

If all goes according to plan, she will be making Seville orange marmalade later this month.

Rosemary's marmalade has been flying off the shelves at Buchanan's Organic Deli at 22 Aldensley Road, Hammersmith. The latest batch is due to hit the shelves this week.

Rosemary's tasty recipe for success

ROSEMARY'S recipe is borrowed from Good Housekeeping book, Jams, Preserves and Homemade Sweets, published in 1969.

Because it was published pre-metric, the measurements are in imperial (3/4lb equals 340 grams).

It reads: "Boil the fruit until it is tender, then add sugar and boil again until it sets.

"Wipe the fruit, halve it, then remove all the pips and tie these in a muslin bag. Squeeze out the juice and cut up the peel.

"Put the sliced peel, the fruit juice, water and bag of pips into a preserving pan.

"Boil until the rind is tender and the contents of the pan reduced by about half (about two hours).

"Move the pan away from the heat. Remove the bag of pips, add the sugar, stir until it is dissolved, then boil briskly until the marmalade gels when tested. Pot and cover. Yield: Approx 10lb. Making marmalade is not difficult, but you need to be on your toes when it is approaching setting point. Have a few clean saucers and teaspoons handy. Put saucers in the fridge. Drop a very little marmalade on the back of a saucer and put back in the fridge.

"After a couple of minutes gently push the marmalade with a fingertip.

"If it's ready to set it will wrinkle; if it's not ready it will only roll. Keep on doing this, one saucer quickly after another, until it wrinkles. Remove marmalade from heat immediately and pot up."

NAHT Cymru comments on school Covid testing and government threats in Wales

Laura Doel, director of school leaders' union NAHT Cymru said: “We deplore the use of legal threats from Welsh Government. Schools which are using their local knowledge and expertise to provide the highest quality education and care for their pupils, should not be threatened by legal action for using sensible flexibilities to manage their way through to the end of term.

“The government’s lack of understanding of the reality on the ground has been staggering. Publicly ministers express their thanks to school leaders, whilst behind the scenes they are sending intimidating and unnecessary legal letters. We object to these double-standards in the strongest terms.

“The implications for schools to mass test on a national scale is huge.  For the health minister to say it can be rolled out at the start of next term when the teachers have to carry out the tests and they haven’t been trained is laughable.

“Ministers have an awful lot of work to do to repair the damage that has been done to their relationship with the teaching profession.”

    300 employees

Meet Kristin

Kristin Langdon, Vice President of Human Resources

After graduating from the University of Tennessee, Kristin decided to dive into the HR field.

“My major in college was Retail and Consumer Science, which ran concentrically with Human Resources and enabled me to take several HR courses. When it was time to make a decision about my career path, I accepted an HR position at a startup in New York City.

Since I was the startup’s only HR employee, I wore a bunch of different hats, which solidified my love for all things people-related. That was many years ago, and the HR field has really evolved since then. HR used to be perceived as a company’s police force but is now completely employee centric. One of the things I’ve loved most about HR has been watching its relationship with employees transform into a supportive partnership, which has been a fascinating thing to observe over the years.”

In 2018, Kristin joined Wunderkind (formerly BounceX) as the HR Business Partner.

“Wunderkind just had this great buzz, and it continues to be that way for me two and a half years later. I think the thing that Wunderkind does best besides selling top-notch software is hiring the smartest and kindest people. Our employee population consists of incredibly good human beings all around. It makes coming to work every day extremely fun.”

Within two years, Kristin was promoted to Wunderkind’s Vice President of HR.

Kristin Langdon - High Res (1)
Wunderkind's Challenges

“At first we just wanted a performance review software, but then we realized we needed a streamlined solution that had all the other important pieces of the HR puzzle.”

Before transitioning to Namely, Wunderkind (formerly BounceX) was using TriNet, a PEO solution.

“I had used TriNet at previous companies and actually moved all of those companies off of the solution and onto other PEOs. If they were larger companies, I would have considered transitioning them onto HRIS solutions because PEOs become extremely limited once you hit a certain company size. Generally the rule of thumb is once you hit 100 employees, you should transition off of a PEO. At that point, the cost per employee becomes really prohibitive, and your HR team starts doing a lot more reporting and analytics, which is difficult to do on a PEO.

Since TriNet historically markets to specific industries, like manufacturing, the PEO’s interface is not user-friendly and doesn’t have the modern feel that our employee population gravitates towards. Because of that, we couldn’t get any of our employees to utilize the solution and when they did, it was difficult for them to do simple things like change their home address. For a while TriNet didn’t have a mobile app either, and even when they created one, it was terrible.”

Wunderkind's wishlist:

+ Customizable Performance Reviews

Kristin’s search for a new HR solution began with the need for a more customizable performance review software.

“From a performance review standpoint, TriNet has some true limitations—which prompted us to start looking for a new HR solution in the first place. We only vetted performance review platforms in the beginning. However, none of the performance review vendors that we evaluated, like 15Five, Lattice, and Culture Amp, were customizable in a way that mattered. At Wunderkind, we needed software that was customizable from the ground up. We wanted to make sure we could edit templates by adding questions that were specific to Wunderkind’s core values, and none of those performance review platforms would let us do that.”

+ Streamlined HR Solution

“I was searching for a new HR solution with our CFO at the time. One of his top priorities was to find a platform that was easy to use on the back-end from a reporting standpoint so we could tie compensation to performance in a meaningful way. At that point, we were only looking at performance review softwares, and none of them could do that. So we decided to broaden our search and look at more streamlined HR solutions.

As for other HR processes, we wanted to track time and attendance for our interns, co-ops, and hourly employees all in one place. We also wanted to have other features, like an org chart. With TriNet, those features were all additional costs. After realizing this, we decided it made more sense to move everything over from our PEO to an HRIS.”

+ Internal Brokerage and Payroll Services

When looking for an HRIS, Kristin struggled to find a one-stop-shop solution.

“We wanted a solution that had both internal brokerage and payroll services, which is actually really hard to find. Some companies like BambooHR, for instance, will be your broker but not provide you with payroll services. Having multiple HR solutions is complicated—especially for your accounting team who then has to make payments to several different vendors as opposed to one.”

The Evaluation

The Journey to Find the Best Fit HRIS

“Namely had been on my radar for years. Being in the HR space, I constantly saw advertisements for Namely events and webinars, so the company had always been in my peripheral vision. Since we were looking for a centralized HRIS that integrated with Greenhouse, our Applicant Tracking System, and had internal payroll and brokerage services, Namely easily became a front runner for us.”

As she narrowed down her search, Kristin was considering Zenefits, BambooHR, and Namely.

“Zenefits and BambooHR’s performance review platforms were nice but weren’t as customizable as Namely’s. Additionally, since Zenefits and BambooHR don’t streamline all HR processes, if we chose either of them we would have also had to find another payroll provider, which was not ideal.”

Eventually it came down to Zenefits and Namely.

“After reviewing Zenefits’ software, we started seeking feedback and heard a lot of horror stories. We heard one horror story that someone couldn’t get their employees’ benefits turned on for four months. When we started seeking feedback about Namely, all the reviews we heard were so positive.

At the end, we sat down with our CEO, CFO, CCO, and COO and confidently chose Namely because it was the only option if we wanted an intuitive platform that was truly a one-stop-shop.”

The Solution

The ROI of Using Namely

From its intuitive reporting and analytics features to its user-friendly interface, Namely’s platform has helped Wunderkind take HR to the next level.

“Our Namely Benefits Advisor works creatively to craft the best benefits plan for our company, and that is extremely hard to find in the Brokerage field.”

Namely’s Managed Benefits Team

Since partnering with Namely’s Managed Benefits Team, Kristin has established a close relationship with her Benefits Advisor that is built on trust.

“Our Managed Benefits Advisor has been absolutely phenomenal. This year we had a pretty significant increase in our premiums due to reasons not related to Namely, and our Benefits Advisor came in with so many creative solutions for how we could decrease them. In fact, she helped us decrease those premium costs from 13% to 7%. It was truly incredible to watch her work, and I can’t express how on top of it she was from a communication standpoint. She constantly came up with new ideas and kept us updated throughout the whole process. This instantly laid down a solid foundation of trust between us.

Since we trust her expertise, our Benefits Advisor’s recommendations go a really long way now. I don’t even ask her ‘what else can we do’ anymore because I know that whatever it is, she’s already gone the extra mile and looked into it. Overall, she’s been an absolute pleasure to work with. It’s extremely unique to have a Benefits Advisor who goes above and beyond to help you create a package that not only saves you money, but also offers your employees the benefits they deserve.”

“Namely clearly designed its platform with HR leaders in mind, because the solution really makes my life so much easier.”

“Namely saves me about 20 hours a week easily. When we used TriNet, we wasted so much time because we constantly had to contact them for information. If we had a question about our employees’ benefits or needed to run a report, it would take TriNet 42 to 72 hours to give us a response. With Namely, we’re able to go into the system and access all of that information ourselves. And when we have a question or can’t access certain information, Namely’s support team gets back to us instantly. The time Namely has saved me is invaluable.

I always recommend Namely to other HR leaders because they’re usually searching for a solution that is fully customizable. When you use some of the other big HRIS systems, you don’t have that kind of flexibility. Every company has a different employee population, and that’s why being able to customize your HR solution is so crucial. Yes, it’s important to have a solution that supports other HR pieces like compliance, but you also need to be able to customize things from the ground up. Luckily for us, Namely has both.”

Wunderkind (formerly BounceX) is one of more than 1,400 companies that use Namely to streamline people operations, payroll, benefits, and time & attendance needs.

Many trainers may believe that ongoing stroke recovery is either the sole purview of physical therapists or limited to those so infirm that progress is limited. But there is an opportunity to make a profound difference to survivors.  And those survivors may look a little different than you expect. Rates of strokes in younger people are, in fact, rising. Research shows that rates have doubled for adults ages 35–39 (Swerdel et al. 2016).

“Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke,” says Tracy Markley, personal trainer and award-winning author of nine books about stroke recovery and the brain. “One in four people over age 25 will have a stroke, and about 58% of all strokes now happen to people 70 years and younger. There is a strong need in the fitness industry to learn about stroke recovery. It would help so many people, as well as [provide] a business niche.”

The Need for Stroke Recovery Services

Markley explains that while most stroke survivors initially receive physical therapy, those services are “extremely limited. Insurance companies only cover so many sessions. This leaves survivors either desperately searching for help from fitness professionals or having a false understanding that, when physical therapy ends, they have reached the end of how much they can recover. [But] physical therapy does not end because they are at their full recovery. It ends due to limits of sessions allowed by the insurance company rules.”

Charlie Hoolihan, director of personal training for the Pelican Athletic Club in Mandeville, Louisiana, agrees. “In fact, because rehabilitation insurance coverage tends to be limited, personal trainers well-versed in working with stroke survivors can play a crucial role in supporting their return to independent, active and functional daily living” (Hoolihan 2017).

See also: From Stroke to Strength.

Creating a Stroke Recovery Plan

The first step is gaining a deep understanding of anatomy and movement, says Markley. “We cannot help a stroke survivor gain a movement back if we do not know what muscles make the movement and what muscles assist in the movement,” she notes. “[Knowing about] proper posture and core strength is [also] essential.” Moreover, education is key for both trainers and clients.

Markley has written four stroke recovery books for survivors and their caregivers to help them understand this aspect of care (learn more at tracymarkley.com). She has developed a CEC course, as well. “The perfect match is a knowledgeable survivor and a knowledge fitness professional,” she explains.

Hoolihan adds that neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to heal itself through thoughts, activities and neural-pathway rerouting—is another important factor in programming.

“Successful stroke survivors’ brains redirect signaling from damaged areas to other areas that normally have nothing to do with the recovered function (Doidge 2007 & 2016). Let’s say a stroke in the brain’s left hemisphere shuts down motion in the right leg. At first glance this looks like permanent paralysis, but it doesn’t have to be: Thanks to neuroplasticity, training can improve the leg’s strength and mobility because another portion of the brain has taken over the job. Brain scans have repeatedly demonstrated this rerouting phenomenon (Doidge 2007 & 2016).”

He offers a sample program for trainers to consider that helps in the stroke recovery process. And current research is showing that other tools, like vibration training, can improve strength.

Safety First

Once a trainer has the necessary education, the next step is to make sure the training is safe for the client. That’s true whether sessions are online or in person. “When training a survivor at home or at the gym, safety is the most important thing,” Markley advises. “When I train survivors via Zoom, only a few meet the safety guidelines I require. They are required to have a secure bar on their wall, proper equipment and [the ability] to coordinate watching the camera and me while exercising.”

Also, in a client’s home or at the gym, “it has to be set up for safety,” she says.

Most of all, Markley stresses that stroke recovery training is highly customized. “Each case is different. It is not a cookie-cutter program that can be applied to all cases. [Your program] has to become individualized for the needs and movements of that particular client.”

And the rewards? They’re as big as the challenges for trainers who want to help others thrive after a stroke.

Anxiety in and of itself is not a disease or illness, but turns into a condition when a person becomes physically, psychologically, emotionally, fearful or distraught because of their symptoms. All human beings encounter normal levels of anxiety and fear in response to day-to-day circumstances. In fact, anxiety is a healthy response in many situations. But, when levels of anxiety and fear are excessive, they have an impact on our physical and psychological well-being and should be addressed. The most effective way to overcome issues with anxiety is with the help of an experienced and professional anxiety therapist or counselor.

Barnes & Mullins Origins

In 1894, Mr Albert Mullins and Mr S. Bowley Barnes started “The Jo”, their famous musical instrument journal.

Specialising in all things banjo, they soon began manufacturing their own banjos as well as importing many other instruments. The original Barnes and Mullins banjos are still sought after today, with collectors seeking them out all over the world.

Sadly in 1914 at the age of 40, Albert Mullins drowned when the ‘Empress of Ireland’ sank on the St Lawrence River. He was on the home leg of a 2 year sales trip.

Bowley Barnes continued the business thereafter, and what he had started with his partner years earlier in Bournemouth now moved to Rathbone Place, London.

In 1976, Mark Barnes – son of Bowley Barnes – moved the business to Grays Inn Road, Bloomsbury. Sadly in 1986, Mark Barnes died. He was greatly admired and respected by employees and customers alike who were quick to tell of his fair and generous nature.

In 1999, Bruce Perrin – a Director since 1986 – became Managing Director and moved the business from London to the current location – Grays Inn House – a modern 46000sqft warehouse and office facility in Oswestry, Shropshire.

Bruce Perrin says “We are excited about the future and are constantly looking at ways to innovate and evolve, yet Barnes and Mullins has always endeavoured to put the customer at the top of its priority list”.

Ways to get a Girl Good friend – The Ultimate Guide

Wondering the way to get a girl friend? We are is latinfeels legit living in a world today just where dating is more or less the norm.

Although you may think of her as this description now, wait until you can know her a bit better. If she’s attractive, that is a huge and also. It doesn’t necessarily mean that she is the only one for you; you might have to settle for a few other attributes than physical appearance if you want to currently have a long term romance with this person.

Another thing to consider in order to to get a girl friend is what hobbies her. You may well be able to decide this on your own, but if an individual then it helps you to talk to her about what pursuits her. For instance , if the lady likes to play games, then inquire her about her popular console. This will likely give you an idea of what video games she takes on. However , if your sweetheart never lets you know what games she likes, it may be a smart idea to search for her favorites on line.

If you want to master how to get a girl friend, the next step is finding out how to be open and honest with her.

Let her know what you are really carrying out in terms of going out with and connections. She doesn’t need to know every detail; just question her judgment on a certain situation or activity. Do lie to her; if you do she can consider whatever you say.

It is quite easy to see in which she stands in your relationship, once you get to know her, so be sure to always be there on her. She demands you more than anyone else, so be generally there for her when she needs you. If you are willing to end up being her friend, this will go a long way towards knowing how to get a girl friend. You should also listen to her when she talks.

When you are racking your brains on how to get a girl friend, credibility is the most important top quality. Just because this lady might seem for being perfect for you, that does not signify she is for everybody. She needs to know that you have no motives of hurting her. Also, you have to respect her decisions, no matter how they are. It would be better if you can appreciate her rather than forcing your private opinions after her.

When it comes to sex, it will probably depend on whether or not jane is open to it. If jane is, then it is obviously a thing to anticipate. When you are not as assured as you would like to be, then you can want to hold back until you get to know each other better. You should wait, then you are asking for difficulty. So , getting a girl friend is really quite simple, all you need to do is stick to the proper methods.

Your self-assurance is going to make all the difference between finding a girl friend and having a total disaster. This can be a good idea to look into our internet site for different great points. Have fun in your search!!

Chancery Court Finds that Stockholders May Rely on Allegations Forming the Basis of Other Lawsuits to Demand Inspection of Books and Records Pursuant to Section 220 of The DGCL

In Deborah Pettry, et al. v. Gilead Sciences, Inc., C.A. No. 2020-0132-KSJM (Del. Ch. Nov. 24, 2020), the Court of Chancery found that plaintiffs may rely on allegations forming the basis of other lawsuits to meet the credible basis standard for demands to inspect books and records under Section 220 of the DGCL. Further, the Court granted plaintiffs leave to move for attorneys’ fees and expenses as a result of Gilead Sciences, Inc.’s (“Gilead”) “overly aggressive defense” at the Section 220 phase, pointing to Gilead’s pre-litigation and litigation-related conduct as a potential basis for awarding fees.

These consolidated Section 220 actions arose in connection with Gilead’s development and commercialization of its HIV treatments, specifically its TDF and TAF-based drugs. Gilead first gained Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for TDF in 2001, and developed various TDF-based treatments from 2001 to 2012. Despite its commercial success, TDF poses significant health risks for a patient’s bones and kidney. Prior to FDA approval for TDF in 2001, Gilead had developed another substantially lower dosage and toxicity HIV treatment, TAF, which Gilead themselves recognized as being safer than TDF in its 2001 10-K. Despite this, Gilead stopped the development of TAF-based drugs in 2004 and did not renew development efforts until 2010. Gilead did not submit a drug application for TAF-based drugs until November 2014 and eventually got FDA approval for a TAF-based treatment in November 2015.

Gilead’s development and commercialization of its HIV treatments has received significant criticism and has been the subject of a number of legal actions, including: (i) an antitrust class-action lawsuit (the “Staley Action”) alleging that Gilead and other drug manufacturers engaged in anticompetitive conduct in connection with Gilead’s TDF-based drugs designed to delay generic versions of TDF; (ii) at least 250 tort actions accusing Gilead of deliberately withholding its safer TAF-based drugs from the market to lengthen the sales window of its TDF-based drugs; (iii) a lawsuit filed by the United States government accusing Gilead of infringing on CDC developed patents held by the U.S. government for the delivery of the TDF treatment; and (iv) investigations and civil litigation for violations of the False Claims Act.

The plaintiffs, Deborah Pettry, Gail Friedt, Richard C. Collins, Hollywood Police Officers’ Retirement System, and Anthony Ramirez each made a written demand on Gilead to inspect and copy certain books and records of the Company pursuant to Section 220, seeking to investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with Gilead’s development and commercialization of its HIV drugs. Gilead declined to provide any documentation in response to the damages, arguing that each plaintiff’s demand was unfounded and deficient.

For a successful inspection demand under Section 220, a plaintiff must establish by a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the plaintiff is a stockholder; (ii) has complied with the statutory requirements for making a demand; and (iii) has a proper purpose for conducting the inspection. The plaintiff must then establish that each type of book and record requested is “essential and sufficient” to the plaintiff’s stated purpose.

Gilead argued that the plaintiffs lacked proper purposes and failed to justify the scope of their inspections, and further argued that the plaintiffs lacked “standing” because they could not defeat defenses to anticipated derivative claims that would follow a Section 220 action. The Court addressed Gilead’s “standing” arguments in context of the plaintiffs’ proper purposes for making their inspection demands.

In addressing the proper purpose issue, the Court stated that a purpose is “proper” under Section 220 where it is “reasonably related” to the plaintiff’s interest as a stockholder. Further, a plaintiff must present evidence to demonstrate a “credible basis” from which a court can infer the occurrence of mismanagement or wrongdoing. Gilead presented two defenses on this issue: (i) that the plaintiffs demonstrated no credible basis to suspect wrongdoing; and (ii) that the plaintiffs’ stated purposes were not their own, but they instead were acting as a Manchurian candidate for a law firm.

In addressing whether the plaintiffs established a credible basis, the Court stated that such a standard imposes “the lowest possible burden” on plaintiffs and that they need only establish by a preponderance of the evidence that there is a credible basis to suspect a “possibility” of wrongdoing. Despite Gilead’s argument that plaintiffs cannot rely on unsubstantiated allegations in other lawsuits to establish a credible basis, the Court held that, because the standard requires the allegations only be credible, not substantiated, courts may consider the allegations collectively, including on-going lawsuits, investigations, circumstantial evidence, and even hearsay statements indicative of potential wrongdoing. Accordingly, the Court found that (i) the Staley Action served as a credible basis for the plaintiffs to investigate anticompetitive activity, (ii) the allegations in the 15,000 tort claims served as a credible basis for the plaintiffs to investigate mass torts regarding Gilead’s delay in introducing safer HIV treatments, (iii) the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) claims of “deliberate” and “wanton” infringement of government owned patents in the litigation between Gilead and the United States government served as a credible basis for the investigation of patent infringement, and (iv) the investigation by the DOJ, in combination with civil litigation for the violation of anti-kickback provisions of the False Claims Act, served as a credible basis for the investigation of False Claims Act violations.

In addressing the question of whether the plaintiffs’ stated purposes were their own, the Court acknowledged that Gilead established that the lawyers were heavily involved in the demand process and litigation, but that they were investigating wrongdoing and Gilead failed to establish that any of the plaintiffs’ lawyers’ involvement “undermined any [p]laintiff’s purpose.”

The Court quickly did away with Gilead’s arguments that the plaintiffs lacked “standing” to investigate the alleged wrongdoings because: (i) the plaintiffs did not own shares at the time of the alleged wrongdoing; (ii) any derivative claims that could be pursued would be time-barred; and (iii) any derivative claims pursued would be blocked by exculpatory language in Gilead’s charter. The Court stated that the only requirement for standing to pursue a Section 220 action is that the plaintiff be a stockholder. The Court further stated that a defense to a future derivative claim impacts a stockholder’s ability to invoke Section 220 only where the stockholder indicates that the only purpose of the Section 220 action is to subsequently pursue a derivative claim.  The Court also stated that Gilead’s arguments speak to the Plaintiff’s standing to bring a derivative suite, not a Section 220 action.

Gilead’s final argument was that plaintiffs’ inspections should be limited to formal board materials, but this failed as well. The Court quickly did away with this argument by noting that inspection need not be limited to formal board materials when the wrongdoing appears to be wide-spread. The Court held that plaintiffs were entitled to inspect agreements between Gilead and its competitors at issue in the antitrust litigation, Gilead’s policies and procedures concerning compliance with antitrust regulations and patent law, certain emails sent to senior management members prior to their bi-monthly Leadership Team Meetings, communications between Gilead and the government, and directors’ and officers’ questionnaires for each Board member on the basis that these documents were “necessary and essential” to the plaintiffs’ purposes and were unlikely to be available from another source.

Lastly, the Court granted the plaintiffs leave to move for attorneys’ fees and expense on the basis of bad faith conduct in frustrating the plaintiffs’ efforts to pursue their 220 action. In granting this, the Court noted it can consider both litigation-related conduct and pre-litigation conduct, and indicated that Gilead’s conduct in both of these phases served as the basis for its belief that fee shifting may be appropriate in this case. The Court criticized Gilead’s overly aggressive litigation strategies of “blocking legitimate discovery, misrepresenting the record, and taking positions for no apparent purpose other than obstructing the exercise of [p]laintiffs’ statutory rights” and Gilead’s pre-litigation decision to refuse to provide plaintiffs any documentation despite the “ample evidence of a credible basis” and the clear responsiveness of certain categories of requested books and records.
