Two days ago the workers compensation industry was all abuzz with the news that they may finally get a piece of the injured worker action from Montana State Fund as the insurer of last resort. Earlier this week bill drafts were floating around the Capitol that either eliminated State Fund completely by the middle of this summer or turned it into a mutual fund by early 2019. Folks lined up quickly with Victory Insurance putting all of its eggs in Senator Moore’s basket on one side and State Fund landing on the soft side to oppose either bill but sort of, kind of, well maybe support a study bill related to becoming a mutual fund. Injured workers just wanted to know who was going to take care of them.
Both bills made their way to a hearing, one right after the other and of course both with all of the same players in the room. Just a shift of positions from one bill to the next. Well, except for Victory Insurance who didn’t pivot from the take over stance. Victory got their time at the podium by filling the room with paid staff and paid lobbyists like Kim Gillan who sat silently and Scott Reichner who couldn’t seem to remember what year he last served in the Legislature. Reichner has always been on the wrong side of the tracks from injured workers. Gillan clearly collected her 30 pieces of silver and held the company banner high.
And despite all of those Victory suits, all of that Victory money and the vast knowledge of two former legislators, Victory’s grab for the State Fund pot of gold has failed. Both bills were tabled after taking the entire morning and confusing, as well as annoying the committee. Any annoyance was more than justified given the timing and the fact that legislators believe they can vacate the building by Good Friday. No time, no energy, no consensus and no path. Lanny Hubbard and the Montana State Fund have dodged a bullet today, make that two bullets. Hubbard has been the target of some powerful legislators like Jim Keane for a while now. Lanny and his board have two years to either prepare to be privatized or dump some baggage and clean up their image. But there’s a lot of ego in that shiny building in down town Helena, so we’ll see if one person goes or 300.

Unexpected medical care spending imposes considerable financial risk on developing country households. Based on managed care models of health insurance in wealthy countries, Colombia's Régimen Subsidiado is a publicly financed insurance program targeted to the poor, aiming both to provide risk protection and to promote allocative efficiency in the use of medical care. Using a "fuzzy" regression discontinuity design, we find that the program has shielded the poor from some financial risk while increasing the use of traditionally underutilized preventive services—with measurable health gains.

Recent research by SEEK has found an alarming four in ten job candidates have been asked illegal question during an interview.
The research revealed 18-35-year-olds were most likely to be the target of illegal questions, which included being asked about their ethnicity and marital status. Those least likely to be asked illegal questions were candidates aged over 55 years.
The most common illegal questions asked in interviews are: Age (24 per cent), Marital Status (18 per cent), Intentions to have children / Parental status (12 percent), Tattoos (7per cent), Disability (7 per cent) and Cultural/Nationality/Ethnic Background (7 per cent).
Surprisingly an overwhelming 82 per cent of those surveyed said they had answered an illegal question when asked. Of those candidates who were asked illegal questions, 62 per cent were offered the job while 38 per cent were passed over. 43 per cent of the candidates who failed to secure the role believed their answer had impacted the outcome.
Employers wishing to avoid asking inappropriate questions and employees hoping to prepare more effectively for a job interview should check out SEEK’s Practice Interview Builder.
This tool allows candidates to select questions (under Motivation, Behavioural, Situational, Skills-based categories) or add in their own, and then download into an interview template to practise from.

text: Recent headlines on the role of Russian disinformation in the 2016 U.S. presidential election have ignited important policy discussions on the impact of information warfare on democratic systems. While disinformation has been used for decades to turn the tides of policy in the favor of its perpetrators, the scale and nature of modern disinformation campaigns pose a qualitatively different challenge to the future of democracy. The ubiquity of social media, the ability to individually target voters through massive amounts of personal data, the use of sophisticated behavioral modelling and the incorporation of artificial intelligence into disinformation operations require a far more urgent and serious response from the policy community.

Medi-Cal is the medical assistance program in California for persons who receive CalWORKs/TANF and SSI and selected other indigent individuals (see eligibility criteria below). Anyone who is low income and does not qualify for Medi-Cal will likely be covered by the MIA Program.
All Medi-Cal Redetermination Forms are to be completed and sent by mail 'not by Internet.
Individuals on SSI and CalWORKs/TANF are automatically eligible for Medi-Cal coverage. SSDI recipients may be eligible for Medi-Cal, but must file a separate application (there is a 24 month waiting period before SSDI recipients get Medicare). Other individuals who are not eligible for CalWORKs/TANF, SSI and SSDI may still be eligible for Medi-Cal if they are: 65 or older; under 21; blind; deaf; disabled; pregnant; a refugee; or they receive care in a skilled nursing home and have limited income and resources.

My husband and I, and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law all went fishing together in our boat. We women were told that in order to go fishing with the guys, we would have to bait our own hooks and get what fish we caught off of the hooks. OK No Problem!
Well, we got about 1/4 mile off shore in the Gulf of Mexico and dropped anchor. Janell and I got out the shrimp and as I baited my hook, Janell made a uhhhh face and handed the bait and hook to her husband Jack.
We casted our lines out and within about 5 or so minutes, I got a bite! I very slowly reeled in my line playing with it to catch the fish-and when I got it above the water I found out I had hooked an electric eel! Boy was I upset. I couldn’t refuse to take it off of the hook, because I would never live it down with my husband or his brother! I felt like a coward would cut the line. So I didn’t know what to do!
Surprisingly, I had the respect of all my fishing buddies. Jack was surprised that I baited my own hook and he was very surprised when I refused to ask for help to take the eel off of the hook. My husband was proud of me. Everyone there said they would have cut the line.
I was smug for the rest of the day-after I recovered that is.

Each spring and summer I am bombarded with questions from women about controlling their shiny skin in hot weather. I have found a few wonderful new finds and can explain how to apply these new formulas to ensure your complexion stays smooth and oil-slick-free all day long.
For ladies that suffer from large pores and oily skin, let’s remember the silver lining to this type of skin: You won’t age as quickly as those of us with a drier complexion. To shrink the look of your pores, begin your day with a good glycolic cleanser like Mario Badescu’s Glycolic Foaming Cleanser ($15, mariobadescu.com) for a fresh start. Next, use a sponge or your fingers to apply a CC cream that will protect, moisturize, even out and smooth the skin. I love the It Cosmetics CC Cream with SPF 50 ($34.68, qvc.com) for a flawless grease-proof complexion and a heavy dose of sun protection.
Nanoblur ($19.99, trynanoblur.com) is going to be your real secret weapon. It’s a revolutionary skin smoother that erases the appearance of large pores, mattes skin down in an instant without ever looking chalky, and allows you to finally relax in the heat and humidity. Women with dry skin that might appear shiny in a few areas can mix it will a little moisturizer to combat these areas. News about Nanoblur spread like wildfire in London and Canada where it launched and is now finally available in the States at Wallgreens. Lastly, dust on a bit of It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores HD Silk Micro-Powder ($24, beauty.com) for smooth sailing all spring and summer.

After years of bureaucratic wrangling with City Hall, the organizers of San Francisco's LovEvolution parade have decided to take the popular electronic music/dance celebration across the Bay. Instead of its traditional location at San Francisco's Civic Center, the event will now be held inside Oakland's Oracle Area and its accompanying grounds.
Two years ago, the city revoked the event's permit to use the Civic Center space, citing safety concerns. The festival's organizers spent much of the next year searching for a new San Francisco location to no avail. As a result, the 2010 event was cancelled.
LovEvolution event organizer John Wood said serious talks with city officials about holding the…event in San Francisco this year never materialized. Wood said they initially considered Golden Gate Park's Polo Fields, but crossed it off the list for being too cold along with challenges of transportation. Candlestick Park and the Giants' AT&T Park also were explored.
Organizers of the end-of-summer party, formerly known as LoveFest, had hoped to relocate to the parking lot at Candlestick Park after city officials nixed its return to Civic Center for safety reasons, saying last year's crowd had proved to be overwhelming.
But, according to city officials, LovEvolution promoters showed up at a meeting Wednesday with little more than a drawing of the parking lot with a fence around it.
"It's clearly a popular event, but we aren't going to cut corners with public safety," said Tony Winnicker, a spokesman for Mayor Gavin Newsom. Promoters were put off by having to get Recreation and Park permits - something they didn't think they could secure in time for the…party date.
Modeled after Berlin's annual Love Parade, LovEvolution came to San Francisco in 2004 and was originally named LoveFest. Run as a volunteer non-profit, LovEvolution arguably became more famous for its attendees' wild costumes and drug-fueled revelry as it did for the high-profile DJs spinning on its parade floats and at its massive, late-night after parties.
This year's LovEvolution is scheduled for September 24th.
This princess at Lovefest 2008 has something to say.

Johanna Bendell, MD: Hello, and thank you for joining us for this OncLive Peer Exchange® titled “The Evolution of Sequencing Strategies in Pancreatic Cancer.” Advances in the treatment of pancreatic cancer have improved survival and have led clinicians to consider sequencing strategies. This OncLive Peer Exchange® panel of experts will focus on the current standard of care in advanced pancreatic cancer, neoadjuvant and adjuvant approaches, as well as the latest research likely to impact the ever-evolving treatment landscape.
I am Dr. Johanna Bendell, and I am director of the GI Cancer Program and associate director of the Drug Development Program at the Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville, Tennessee. Participating today on our distinguished panel are Dr. George Kim, consultant of 21st Century Oncology at the University of Florida Health Oncology; Dr. Caio Rocha Lima, medical oncologist and associate director of Translational Research at the Gibbs Cancer Center and Research Institute in Spartanburg, South Carolina; Dr. John Marshall, the chief of the Division of Hematology-Oncology at the Georgetown University Hospital and director of the Ruesch Cancer Center at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington, DC; and Dr. Eileen O’Reilly, associate director of the David M. Rubenstein Cancer Center for Pancreatic Cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and professor of medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College. Thanks to this panel for joining us, and let’s begin.
Let’s set the stage for this discussion. We’re going to talk about all aspects of treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer today. And certainly, we’ve seen a lot of improvements and potential treatment regimens for pancreatic cancer patients and a lot that’s coming on the horizon for new studies. So, Eileen, just turning to you, tell us a little bit about how this treatment landscape has evolved recently.
Eileen O’Reilly, MD: So, Johanna, I think there have been a number of significant developments in the treatment of pancreas cancer in the last 5 years. We now have the advent of multi-agent cytotoxic therapy in the frontline setting. Depending on the individual and choices, in terms of side effects and schedules, we may choose either gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel or FOLFIRINOX in the frontline setting. These have, I think, significantly added meaningful outcomes for patients. Nonetheless, we have a lot to do. More recently, we have the advent of liposomal irinotecan combined with 5-FU in the second-line setting, and that’s a landmark in that we now have an FDA-endorsed second-line option for the treatment of pancreas cancer. So, we’re clearly not there yet in this disease, but I think we’re also encouraged that some progress has happened in pancreas cancer.
Johanna Bendell, MD: Fantastic. And John, you have your cancer center at Georgetown University. Certainly, when you see patients with pancreatic cancer, it really feels like a multidisciplinary type of cancer. Can you tell us a little bit about your approach there?
John Marshall, MD: I don’t know how people pull it off without a multidisciplinary approach. It really starts with outstanding diagnostics, and that comes from GI nowadays—so they are our plumbers, our biopsiers, our endoscopic ultrasounders. You need really good imaging. Different places have different interests in CT or MRI, but you need good quality, dedicated pancreatic imaging to determine resectability or not. You need surgeons who do this all day every day. This is not a hobby surgery. You need somebody who has high volume for better outcomes. And, of course, our role in this is around the chemotherapy—you need radiation. Nowadays, it’s multimodality radiation, traditional, stereotactic, all the different pieces.
So, all of those folks from the medical side also then need to be supported by the social side—palliative care, social work, and psychiatry, nutrition—because this is an incredibly life-changing moment for these patients. We’re going to do everything we can to either cure them or keep them alive as long as possible. It’s absolutely a team sport.
Johanna Bendell, MD: Yes, you certainly need a very dedicated and large team to take care of these patients to give them that quality of life.
John Marshall, MD: I sometimes think about how cancer care is really a luxury item, and one of the reasons is not just the drugs or fancy scanners, it’s that team. If we’re going to expand cancer care around the world or to the underserved, you really need to provide it at that level. And you don’t have to go around the world, you can just look into rural parts of our country and see that they don’t have all of those parts in play conveniently for the patients out there. So, we need to figure out how to best serve those folks as well.
Johanna Bendell, MD: That’s true.

Mark Twain once said that “hunger is the handmaid of genius,” and he was speaking from personal experience. By 1894, Twain was an esteemed writer, an international celebrity -- and dead broke thanks to a few bad investments. To stave off debt, he embarked on the world’s first stand-up comedy tour, chronicled in Richard Zacks’ new book, “Chasing the Last Laugh.” Zacks joins Jeffrey Brown for more.
Same here. He spoke in my town once in the late 1890s. Our local papers all covered it, but none recorded what he said, despite their habit of transcribing whole snoozefests by travelling ministers and local pols word for word. Instead they focused on the evening's early performance by a local amateur orchestra. So frustrating.
Have you ever seen any of Hal Holbrook's "An Evening with Mark Twain" performances? I went to one as a kid and thought it was an awfully good substitute. Twain's humor is pretty timeless. Definitely had me in rolling in the aisle laughing.

The year was 1884 when a young Spanish immigrant, Angel La Madrid Cuesta, opened a small cigar factory in Cuba. As time progressed, Senor Questa became one of the greatest cigar makers of the 19th Century. Today this legendary brand is hand-crafted at the famed Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic. Centenario has a mellow to medium strength that is constructed with the best Dominican long fillers that have been aged for at least five years. Aficionados can choose between a Connecticut Shade-grown and Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrappers, which are available in several vitolas. Both wrappers add varying degrees of coffee, cream, earth and nutty aromas, but are equally scrumptious. This pristine stogie definitely needs to be in the repertoire of all true cigar connoisseurs.

The Nurses Organization of Veterans Affairs (NOVA) was formed in 1980 by nurses at the Hines, Illinois VA, in response to PL 96-330 which gave VA Doctors a large pay increase without any change in nurses’ salaries or any nursing input. In 1982, NOVA was invited to speak at an oversight hearing, this was the first time a VA Registered Nurse gave testimony to Congress. Since that remarkable day, NOVA has testified on recruitment and retention, staffing shortages, and submitted statements and letters to Congress on many other issues that affect how nurses provide care for Veterans across the country.
Having a voice on Capitol Hill is critical – VA remains one of the largest agencies in the Federal Government and employs over 90,000 nurses. Having a voice on how care is, and will be provided in the future is critical, especially as VA undertakes an agency-wide transformation and modernization. Our collective voice makes a difference and is extremely powerful and affirming.
We encourage you to get involved (first by reading and understanding the “Hatch Act”) and using the following NOVA Advocacy Toolkit to take action!

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 4) — The House Justice Committee wants to disclose the results of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno's psychiatric evaluation, as the panel is set to vote on the impeachment complaint this week.
Committee chair Reynaldo Umali told CNN Philippines Sunday they will make the documents and testimonies related to Sereno's psychiatric test public, the same set of results psychiatrists from the Judicial Bar and Council (JBC) shared with lawmakers in an executive session on February 27.
"We will declassify it so that we will use everything for purposes of our prosecution of the case before the Senate impeachment court," Umali said.
The committee members, however, have yet to vote on the move. Umali said the confidentiality rule during an executive session may be lifted if majority of the lawmakers vote for it.
During the final impeachment hearing last week, Umali threatened to cite members of the JBC in contempt for insisting details of Sereno's psychological tests were confidential.
This prompted the psychiatrists who evaluated Sereno when she applied for Chief Justice to testify in an executive session.
While the JBC psychiatrists remained mum after the executive session, Dr. Geraldine Tria, a psychologist who was invited as an expert witness, told lawmakers she believes Sereno is unfit to become Chief Justice.
"There (are) strong indicators five out of nine are actually manifested, like grandiosity, unlimited power, sense of entitlement, interpersonally exploitative in order to take advantage of others to achieve his or her own end," Tria said.
The Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP), meanwhile, slammed the use of the chief magistrate's psychological tests in the impeachment proceedings, saying it was unethical.
In the impeachment case, lawyer Larry Gadon claimed Sereno "failed in a psychiatric exam" prior to her appointment by scoring a low 4 out of 5.
Sereno's camp said the score does not mean an official failure in the test, especially if no troubling psychological conditions were found. They also argued the performance on such an exam is not an impeachable offense.
Despite criticisms from the PAP and Sereno's camp, Umali said the results of Sereno's psychiatric test will still be included in the articles of impeachment they will prepare against her.
The Chief Justice in a speech on Friday called for respect for the impeachment process "by allowing it to take the only allowed course under the Constitution."
She urged Congress to finally start an impeachment trial at the Senate and hit her critics for resorting to various actions to malign her.
Once the panel finds probable cause to impeach her, the House plenary will vote. If at least one-third of the members of the House of Representatives vote to impeach Sereno, the complaint would go to trial at the Senate.
Sereno is accused of violating the Constitution, corruption, betrayal of public trust, and other high crimes which are grounds for impeachment under the Constitution. She repeatedly denied the allegations and asked for the complaint to be junked.

A Dec. 4, 2012, American Civil Liberties Union letter to San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee urged rejecting any SFPD proposal “to deploy tasers or other conductive energy devices” and codified 11 years of unrelenting citizen opposition to tasers for Crisis Intervention Team officers.
The letter emphasizes that costly tasers would generate heavy legal fees from officer overuse and abuse, posing serious injury and death risks, especially to SFPD’s targeted populations: people in public mental health crisis and people of color.
ACLU Attorney Micaela Davis testifies before the Public Safety Committee hearing on tasers.
No-taser advocates’ struggle to defeat SFPD’s push for tasers was audible throughout 14 2012 Police Commission meetings, a Nov. 14 Mental Health Board hearing, and the Dec. 6 Board of Supervisors Public Safety Committee hearing, where ACLU attorney Micaela Davis presented the letter to Supervisors Eric Mar, Christina Olague, David Campos and John Avalos.
Chief Greg Suhr rationalized tasers could have prevented the July 2012 shooting of handcuffed, “schizophrenic” Pralith Pralourng, wielding a box-cutter.
Supervisor Avalos noted Davis’ contention that, once CIT officers get tasers, they proliferate through jurisdictions. No-taser activists speculate SFPD’S plans for Crisis Intervention Team tasers for the mentally ill is a pretext to arm the whole department.
In an interview, Davis stated, “We think [Pralourng’s shooting] was a tragic incident for them,” but “that catches the attention of the City.
At an Aug. 1, 2012 Police Commission hearing, Chief Suhr resurrected, without public notice, SFPD’s 11-year-long push for tasers for CIT officers trained to verbally de-escalate people in public distress.
Unanimous citizen comment at the Dec. 6 Public Safety Committee hearing aligned perfectly with ACLU’s stance.
Public commenters proceeded one by one to address the five central issues raised in the letter: costs, injury and death risks, disproportionate impacts on mentally ill people and people of color, and police misuse and abuse.
In its letter, praised by Avalos as “well-documented” – with 72 citations – the ACLU reminded Suhr that, on Feb. 23, 2011, the Police Commission passed a resolution giving the department 90 days to finalize a less lethal weapon study, including implementation costs, and requiring SFPD to consult with communities of color, mental health professionals, LGBT and community groups.
ACLU estimates “at least $1.96 million annually” to equip 1,860 officers, over $100,000 in maintenance and $745,000 for cameras, minus video review and storage.
Supervisors Mar, Campos and Avalos addressed “increased liability.” Davis highlighted Bay Area and Northern California juries’ multi-million dollar settlements for injury and death from taser misuse, overuse and excessive force.
Supervisor Christina Olague and SFPD Chief Greg Suhr contend on tasers.
Davis addressed soft costs. “I have no doubt that some of the populations here … disproportionately impacted would probably have a problem and file suit,” Davis said.
“Tasers are as lethal as any gun,” asserted Drug Users Union’s Gerald West.
The ACLU letter reported seven summer 2012 taser deaths nationwide.
Tasers shoot into flesh two electrified metal fish hooks – agonizingly painful, sometimes deadly.
Growing numbers of anti-taser protestors throng public comment at hearings agreeing with the ACLU that the most pressing reason to block conductive energy device use is their serious fatality risk to agitated people with mental illness.
In an interview, Davis emphasized the ACLU’s study documented “massive numbers” of SFPD encounters with mentally ill San Franciscans, “something very unique to this City.
On Nov. 14, 2012, San Francisco’s Mental Health Board heard coordinated public presentations, then passed a resolution rejecting taser deployment against people with mental illness.
Though people may not know that tasers pose fatality risks to multiple groups – people on drugs or medications, those with diabetes or cardiac problems, epilepsy and autism sufferers, pregnant women and small body mass humans, such as thin people, children and elders – the other biggest danger is to people with disabilities.
She insisted a team development program costs a pittance compared to tasers, cartridges and defibrillators.
ACLU notes a vague preliminary SFPD CIT draft policy.
During his outgoing public safety summary of CIT progress, SFPD Commander Mikael Ali, who supports tasers, insisted, “Words don’t work sometimes.” Coalition on Homelessness’ Andrew Mendes replied, since CIT officers de-escalate people unable to respond to command and control techniques, Ali didn’t understand crisis intervention.
Miller’s insistence that “the police assassination of Idriss Stelley, Vinh Bui and Pralith Pralourng were nothing other than [SFPD] assassinations” suggests why roughly 30 percent of protestors are people of color: 20 percent Latino and 10 percent Black.
Mental Health Board Secretary David Elliott Lewis helped draft the no-taser resolution. Olague encouraged Elliott’s concerns that, though CIT officers should be trained to use verbal de-escalation techniques to defuse stressful mental health crisis encounters, they may be tempted to circumvent talking someone down with a quick taser button click.
Friedenbach cautioned, “Independent studies not funded by people profiting off these weapons” show “that fatal shootings by the police more than doubled in the first year after the police departments got tasers.” She stressed that, as interest in the new toy leveled out, shooting numbers did not decrease.
“CIT training will help SFPD handle mental illness crisis situations … more humanely, with less risk of serious injury or death.

Penny Castle looks back on her eight years as the eventing performance leader with a huge amount of pride as to what has been accomplished.
Where there was one squad, there are now three and a mushrooming list of riders who continue to edge closer to their goals on the world stage.
The Talent Identification Squad was introduced for early talent-spotting and to support up-and-coming combinations, while the Talent Development Squad’s goal is to help build the skill base to enable combinations to go on to produce 4* (formerly 3*) horses.
Penny stepping away brings with it changes in other parts of the programme to ensure it continues to build the performance and high performance capability in New Zealand. Jock Paget will continue as high performance potential coach and mentor and from March will take a leadership role in the ongoing development of the programme.
He and Penny have worked closely over recent years tirelessly to help riders to continue to be challenged.
For Penny, there have been many highlights over the years too, including being part of High Performance Sport New Zealand’s highly-regarded Coach Accelerator Programme, winning the hotly-contested Senior Oceania battle at the Melbourne International Three-Day Event in 2017 as well as having riders on the podium alongside an “amazing” support team of fellow coaches, the vet, parents and more.
But for Penny, the biggest highlight is always helping a rider complete their first 4* competition.
She extended special thanks to High Performance Sport New Zealand coaching consultant Lyn Gunson, her family and the coaches and support team who have all worked so hard in pushing, supporting and evolving the programme.
High Performance director Sarah Dalziell-Clout extended a heartfelt thanks to Penny.
A number of roles are currently being advertised within the performance programme, including a part-time performance administrator position to assist with the logistics of camps, squad and programme administration, planning and videoing, and liaison roles for both the Talent Identification and Talent Development squads. Those in the part-time roles will become the primary person of contact for the riders, manage IPPs, feed into Performance Programme planning and liaise with the respective High Performance Sport New Zealand contacts.
For Sarah, it is key the programme has the ability to continue to grow and develop and she’s confident getting the right people in place will ensure just that.

You don't need extra words to say something important. They won't make sense. On the contrary, a certain degree of understatement will allow you to touch the reader's heart. That is why I write under a principle "less means more", and the following reflections presented below are no exception.
Here are nineteen dry thoughts making you think again of your existence, forty-eight sentences covering my entire way of purification.
My code is quite simple: get free from the usual beliefs, prejudices and, first of all, never lie to yourself. Trust me, if you give honest answers, the life will change for the better.
Don't be guided by the others. Learn how to be better than you, not the others, was yesterday.
We don't know what we are born for. But I'm sure everyone has a purpose, so it's very important to find your own power. You can be happy only when you are in the environment that makes you feel good. However, everyone has their own power. Many people don't understand it and they don't live their lives.
The present will turn into a memory tomorrow. Everything you do now is either a solid foundation or a rotten floor. At least once, having a look at your past, try to realize what you were born for and where you go.
Success is a personal measure. While, on the other hand, you cannot choose one component of success, sacrificing friendship, love, and happiness of close people, thinking that everything else would come with that. Success is integrity, harmony, and it is measured not only by money or distributing influence.
I see that every man has an angel having snuggled on one shoulder and a devil on the other one. I've already had educational conversations with those of my own, and we try to compromise.
Happiness is the light. Darkness as such doesn't exist. Einstein has correctly pointed out that there isn't darkness in the dark room, there is no light. Light the fuse and the room will be illuminated. Although you have to earn money even for a match, then you have to go to the store, buy a box of matches, open it, and get a match. It does not necessarily mean that it'll light up from the first try. It will be necessary to work hard and to make efforts, otherwise, you won't get it.
If you're unhappy, you'll never make anyone happy: nor relatives, neither country, no one at all, so always start with yourself. It's not worth blaming others.
I learned even more due to my defeats rather than victories. It is not an easy way, but following it you get stronger.
There's a reason for everything. Your happiness or misfortune is only their consequence.
It's much more interesting to discover something previously unknown, to strive for something new, to experiment, to dream, and make your dreams come true. It's certainly smarter than live the life and die, working as a clerk.
I respect others' views, but I always do my own way. I am responsible for everything I do, should anything happen, I am the only one to blame.
When you show your strong points by hiding the weak ones, you create an illusion, a myth. This story attracts, at first people want it and then it disappoints them.
Sometimes survives not the one who knows how to live. The world is unfair.
Communication is not the people's strongest point. We can talk, but not communicate. We have never been taught how to do that! Every time we deceive ourselves, trying to prove just the opposite with foam at the mouth, but we can't behave another way... Few people admit it, but it is so.
If we have ever tried to find and discover the thing that unites us, but not to multiple the one that shares, perhaps it would be comfortable for everyone to live in the modern world.

If you're kind of a private (read: mildly antisocial) person, then you know the pain and agony that is a party, get-together, or networking event. Without a doubt, you'd much rather stay home, read a good book, and remain quietly introspective. But like it or not, such events will happen. So it can help to know how to socialize when you're an introvert.
Of course this is way easier said than done. If you're an introvert, being social can feel like quite the insurmountable task. Where other people seem to gain energy from parties and outings, you only seem to withstand them (at best). You might even feel totally drained afterward, as if you had just been through some sort of horrible experience (instead of something lighthearted and fun). This is the nature of introversion.
"An introvert generally 1) feels comfortable being on their own, 2) is seen as reflective or reserved, 3) prefers to know a few people well," says Kim Chronister, Psy.D., in an email to Bustle. Cue those nights alone with a book, or maybe a coffee date with a very good friend.
While it's totally fine to prefer your own company, it will be occasionally necessary to head off to a wedding, or show up at the office holiday party. When that's the case, never fear — there are things you can do to make socializing easier. Here are a few of those tips.
If you're introvert, it can feel mighty tempting to decline every invitation from here on out. And of course you can do this, forever and ever. But it's not a healthy to be that reclusive, especially if you're only giving in to anxiety. As Chronister says, "The remedy for ridding oneself of anxiety is exposure. One simply needs to do what is uncomfortable over and over again until the nervousness mitigates. Go to the meet-up even if you are anxious, accept the next invite, and repeat."
Before you get to the party, tuck some conversation starters in the back part of your brain. Think topical news, the book you're reading — anything you can chat about easily. "Coming armed with some small talk starters/ extenders will make your life a lot more pleasant," said Jessica Stillman on Inc.com. Not to mention easier, and less awkward.
It may sound cheesy, but giving yourself some goals for the evening can help you stride off with purpose. "Are you going out to network for your career? Give yourself a socialization quota," suggested Eric Ravenscraft on Lifehacker.com. And don't go home until it's met.
Remember what I said about feeling drained? You may be the most charismatic person around, but as an introvert social outings leave you feeling drained. To combat this, be sure to charge your proverbial batteries before going to the event. "And while you're at it, plan to give yourself some space to unwind after the party and before you have to rejoin the social world," Stillman suggested.
Unlike extroverts, you're going to need to slip away for a bit of peace. "When you first arrive, scout out a place that you can retreat to if you need a moment. It can be a patio, a kitchen, a bathroom, or even just your car," said Ravenscraft. It's totally OK to have a moment of escape, if it means you'll feel more refreshed.
If you have social anxiety, then you may find yourself talking blanking while you talk. But don't let it freak you out. "If you find yourself drawing a blank mid-conversation, try paraphrasing," said Katherine Schreiber on Greatist.com. It can help get the chat back on track.
"Struggle with small talk? Leverage your clothing and accessories to help," said Stillman. All it takes is a statement bracelet, or a really weird necklace, to give people something to chat about. And you can turn the tables, of course. Casually compliment someone's shirt, or their cool glasses. The two of you will be chatting it up in no time.
Research has shown that it can help to act extroverted, even if you're introverted, according to Schreiber. It likely works due to positive social feedback (i.e., people finding you ridiculously charming, and it thus egging you on). So smile, walk to the center of the room, and shake people's hands. It may just start to rub off.
Got nothin' to do and no one to talk to? Then busy yourself with helping the host. Not only will he or she greatly appreciate it, but you'll be given something to do — like pouring drinks, or setting up food — that doesn't involved standing around uncomfortably.
Partner up with an understanding friend, and let them lead the way into groups of people. "Let your friend start conversations with someone you don't know, then offer your input as they discuss," Ravenscraft said. "You can easily sneak into conversations this way."
If you know this is going to be an early night, then plan ahead for a graceful exit. "You need to be able to leave when your social energy reserves are depleted," Stillman said. Drive yourself there so you can drive yourself home. Or be ready and armed with Uber, so you can peace out when the mood strikes.
Then go home and congratulate yourself on being social. You did it! And it will only get easier the more you go out.

A new report claims that the next generation Mustang, codename S650, has been delayed even further than originally reported — to at least the 2026 model year.
Previous reports had marked the start of production for the 7th generation Mustang at March 2022, but now sources of Automobile claim that the S650 Mustang, which is expected to be built on the CD6 architecture to be shared with the latest Ford Explorer, has been pushed back to the 2026 model year at the earliest — adding that another source puts it at the 2028 or 2029 model year.
If accurate, this would stretch the current S550 Mustang lifespan to 11-14 years, which even by pony car standards is on the long side.
The same report claims that the S550 Mustang will receive a major mid-cycle facelift to update its current D2C platform and reskin it with new sheetmetal “from nose to tail” while concurrently adding the Mustang Hybrid model, reportedly for the 2022 calendar year.
Check out the full report inside.

The word “fiber” can often sound less than appetizing, lending itself to images of tree bark and rose petals, rather than the variety of colorful fruits, vegetables, and beans, or tasty whole grain and high-fiber products where fiber is found.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends that people of all ages consume 14 grams of fiber for each 1,000 calories they consume. This means that most adult women should aim to eat more than 20 grams of fiber a day and that men should strive for more than 30 grams per day. Yet, most Americans consume about half the amount of fiber recommended by the IOM. According to the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 03-04), average intakes of dietary fiber from food range from 12.3 to 13.8 grams per day for adult women 19-50 years and 15.0 to 18.3 grams per day for adult men 19-50 years.
Fiber-ful Breakfast. The first meal of the day is the most important, not only because it gives you energy to start the day, but also because it is one of the best opportunities to load up on fiber. There are a host of high-fiber cereals from which to choose—then add a banana or another favorite fruit to the bowl along with some fat-free milk for a quick and easy fiber fix.
Fiber Snack Attack. Try a slice of whole-wheat bread with a fresh and juicy red or green apple; feel free to add a little peanut butter to the mix for a great tasting and nutritious snack.
Get Fiber on a Roll. Next time you bite into a tortilla or sandwich roll make sure that it is whole wheat or whole grain corn meal to reap more fiber benefits. Also try adding spring mix or spinach, artichokes, and hummus or chickpeas to add in more fiber. Top it all off with low-fat cheese and a side of crunchy pear slices.
Frozen Fiber. Vegetables are a great source of fiber, and there is no easier way to add more veggies to your plate then heating up a frozen vegetable medley and adding it to your meal.
Fiber in a Glass. Red juicy raspberries, sweet blueberries, tasty bananas and strawberries are all fiber-rich fruits. Add one or all of these fruits to a blender with some yogurt and ice for a quick and easy smoothie that you can pour into a to-go cup for a grab-and-go snack or a quick morning starter. Add more fiber to the smoothie by grinding up some almonds and mixing them in.
For more information about the health benefits of fiber see: The IFIC Foundation Fact Sheet: Fiber.

Print off the two parts of the full game - Part 1 and Part 2 - of the full game when you have the password .
A country house murder set in 1924. Guests have been invited for the weekend by a mysterious host, Lord Farthingay.
“Farthingay Manor” is a murder mystery for 6 people, all of whom are given a character in the plot. They have been invited to attend a country house weekend in England in August, 1924. They do not know their host, Lord Farthingay. They do not know each other. So why were they invited? As the plot unfolds, they gradually find out. The murder mystery is usually run over a meal, but if you are feeling particularly adventurous, you can run it in short bursts over a whole weekend. The characters include a vicar, a nun, a countess and a butler. All, of course, have dark secrets to hide. But who is the murderer? How is the King of Ruritania involved? And how many characters survive till the end?
This enjoyable and absorbing crime-solving game is perfect for all those who love Downton Abbey, Gosford Park and other English country house classics.
In 1924. Please go to our Murder Mystery Costume Guide for help and fashion suggestions.
As with all murder mystery plots, the characters in Farthingay Manor have been up to no good. Despite this, we don’t believe they do anything that most people would find offensive. After all, murders don’t happen over nothing. But anyone under the age of 14 may have trouble understanding some of what is referred to. We therefore recommend it as suitable for those aged 14 and above.

Theology is based on God's true and unchanging Word, but does the Bible supply an unwavering foundation for spiritual certainties? Perhaps surprisingly, Brush contends that it does not, because, like science, it is a human discipline and subject to our limitations of knowledge, interpretation, and objectivity.
In part one, Brush unpacks this contention, showing how Christians both past and present have arrived at conclusions that actually run counter to biblical teaching, and how these interpretive viewpoints have changed over time. In part two, he makes the case that flawed theological positions have resulted in views that needlessly conflict with science, and that these clashes can be resolved with more accurate formulations. Brush evenly evaluates questions including the age of the earth, the origin of life, and the end of time.
Christians who wish to better understand the relationship between their faith and science will be encouraged by the great harmony that Brush sees between scientific findings and biblical teaching. As he guides readers into an awareness of the inherent limitations of our knowledge, believers can cultivate greater humility regarding these contested issues.
Nigel Brush (Ph.D., UCLA) is professor of geology at Ashland University in Ohio. A committed Christian and scientist, he has supervised numerous archaeological excavations and conducted geological fieldwork in eastern and western North America and England. He and his wife, Anne, live surrounded by farms and forests on a ridge overlooking the town of Wooster, Ohio.

SF Marina is a world leader in the field of pontoons and floating breakwaters, internationally acknowledged as a builder of bespoke marinas designed to suit local conditions worldwide, from a fishing station in the north of Iceland to the sunny but continually storm-hit Caribbean. It is using this experience that they have now supplied the Donsö Harbour Association with some of the largest pontoons on the market in a project called ‘Donsö Djuphamn’ – the Donsö deep water harbour project.
‘This project will benefit the fishing and commercial fleets, but it will also benefit other marine traffic such as official vessels. The main aim is to get our fishing vessels back home, which are over 50 metres in length and have a draught of 7 metres. And, of course, other commercial operators will also have the opportunity to land. We will also be going round to the other players in the region who are limited in terms of accepting the larger fishing and commercial vessels. We will be able to offer them a berth at Donsö,’ explains Jonas Backman, Chair of the Donsö Harbour Association.
Here, the depth is 17 metres, which means that it is possible to accept vessels with a draught of 10–12 metres – as opposed to other islands in the area where the maximum limit is set at 6 metres.
‘It is not just that it would be very difficult and costly to build a 10 metre high pier at this location. There is a significant difference between a floating pontoon and a permanent pier as far as the impact on the environment is concerned,’ says Michael Sigvardsson, CEO at SF Marina.
Floating pontoons of this size gain a protective breakwater effect, and spaces are created beneath the pontoons that provide the conditions for small sh and plants to thrive.
The main pontoons are 100 × 10 metres, i.e. 1000 m2, while the ‘gangplank pontoon’ is 25 metres in length. This provides 100 metres of pier on the outside, 95 metres on the inside and 35 and 10 metres, respectively, on the sidewalls – a total of 230 metres. Each 25 × 10 metre pontoon is 1.80 metres tall and weighs almost 200 tonnes, i.e. almost 800 tonnes for the main pontoons.
‘The whole of this is anchored using an anchor weighing a total of 360 tonnes and 800 metres of 50 mm diameter cable. This means that you need to watch your step, both when doing the calculations and when performing the installation,’ says Stig Jansson, Project Manager at SF Marina.
Everything has been manufactured at Wallhamn, Tjörn, which is the site of SF Marina’s production plant, and then transported in several parts to the Gothenburg archipelago. The installation was opened on 18 May, with speeches from, among others, Ann-So e Hermansson, Chair of the Municipal Executive Board in Gothenburg.
So far, Donsö’s new harbour has managed to find four regular customers, all fishing vessels with home ports in Denmark. The positive financial effects that will come once supplies, equipment, diesel and everything else are bought on-site will provide the conditions for Donsö to be alive all year round. More berthing also means that the Donsö shipping companies’ own tankers will be able to come home for viewing and maintenance, instead of being repaired in Denmark and other harbours. However, the 130 metre pontoon is just the beginning. The vision is for a further two times 130 metres of berthing so that a total of 600 metres can be offered, including both sides. This would allow significantly larger boats to be accepted.

The five limos, including a larger Chevrolet Suburban for larger parties and more luggage, are used by many hotels, restaurants, corporate groups, wedding parties, even people scouting Naples for a home. Drivers wear a tuxedo-like black vest, white shirt and black pants and the limos are easily spotted at airports due to their color: silver, gold or Champagne green.

THINGS I VALUE: I’m a humungous fan of patience. Lack of patience has caused so many people to not achieve the upside that they deserve and that just kills me. Another thing I value so greatly is an old school handshake. That really matters to me. Word is bond. Having people in your life that you can trust based on their word goes a long way — you know, someone that you just know is going to deliver on whatever it is they say they’re going to do.
On the other hand, when someone doesn’t deliver on something, I have the understanding to realize that unexpected things can come up and change the course of action. So I completely buy into being nimble and empathetic because you need to be able to understand that things don’t always go according to plan, and it’s not always the person on the other end that’s to blame.
I also think that people that are grateful are extremely attractive as well. NOTHING is more ugly to me than somebody who’s spoiled and I also think at some level, hypocrisy is the thing that I hate the most, which I guess touches on my previous point.
So for me, there’s nothing more important than having perspective on things and understanding that although people may have the best intentions in mind, not everything is going to work to plan. You need to be patient and empathetic and realize that when someone says they’re going to do something, you’d hope they’ll do whatever’s in their power to deliver, but while also having the perspective in understanding that things don’t always run their intended course — And that’s okay.

Health care services are complex and require many different entities to have access to patients’ medical data. Consider a simple office visit: in addition to the physician who sees the patient, it may involve an independent entity that facilitates the scheduling of the visit, an electronic medical records (EMR) vendor that provides software and cloud storage for saving the doctor’s notes, an health information exchange (HIE) platform that shares this data with other physicians, another party that creates the bill, the insurance company that pays for it, and sometimes a collecting agency that manages the patient’s late payments.
As the complexity of health care services increases, the number of involved entities and the subsequent risk of privacy breaches also increase. Twenty three percent of all data breaches happen in the health care industry . Over the last six years, medical data of more than 155 million Americans have been potentially exposed through nearly 1,500 breach incidents. The per-record cost of health care data breaches is $363, the highest of all industries.

HOW DO YOU DO DERBY?
Over here at TOPS, our Derby season starts early—in the first weeks of January when we begin planning this issue and the Kentucky Derby Festival fashion show for a thousand of our city’s fashion followers.
Our Derby issue—and this cover-- is a tribute to the many other people in our city who put the wheels of this season into motion for Louisville and the world. They’re a diverse group of milliners, event planners, restauranteurs, boutique owners and a whole array of behind-the-scenes magic makers who start planning early to guarantee that this event lives up to its bucket list billing year after year.
We hope this issue reminds you to embrace this special time of year. Make the juleps, wear the hat, throw the party… whether you head to the track or not. The Derby season is more than one race and more than one place. It’s a mood supported by a month-long celebration that can only happen here. It doesn’t matter how you do Derby, it just matters that you do.

The 4th of July is coming up this weekend. This a great time of the year when Americans celebrate their independence day with backyard barbecues and gatherings with families and friends. The 4th of July is a fantastic holiday because it lets people simply enjoy themselves – whether it be sampling some good ole’ fashioned burgers and dogs, tossing back a cold one, watching sports, having a catch or any number of other summer activities. Usually 4th of July parties take place at somebody’s house – is it going to be yours this year?
Grill & BBQ area: The grilling area is the command center of any respectable 4th of July BBQ. This will be the place where people cook, gather around food, have drinks, and chat. That said- any unnecessary junk in this area will make it feel small and cluttered for your guests. If you bought a brand new grill for the fourth, the old one is probably still sitting on the porch. You’ll need to get rid of it.
Pool area: If you are lucky enough to have pool you’ll be sure to invite your 4th of July guests to take a dip, especially if it turns out to be a hot summer day. If you have a pool, you can also be assured that your guests will brings friends and maybe even friends of friends. You’ll want to ensure that your pool area can accommodate quite a few guests that will be eating, laying out, running around, as well as jumping in and out of the pool. Any extra junk around the pool area can be both annoying and dangerous for your guests- be sure to haul that junk prior to your party.
Backyard: For most 4th of July events the backyard is center stage for the party. This is where the kids will run to after dinner to release all that excess energy. This is where the teens will escape to get away from the adults, and where you might consider throwing a ball around to burn off that extra burger and helping of potato salad. Any clutter like Yard Waste will only get in the way of having fun. A clutter-free yard will make for the best experience for you and your guests. Make sure any yard waste removal takes place prior to the party.
TV Room: This summer, soccer fans might pile into your TV room to watch the World Cup on the 4th of July (even though the U.S. was eliminated). You’ll want to make sure that every guest has a seat or place to watch – any extra junk like old shelves, chests, or furniture will only get in the way of a great viewing experience.
Although you could try and haul all this junk yourself, there are a number of responsibilities you need to take on for your 4th of July party. The best option is to hire a reliable, efficient and eco-friendly Junk Removal service to do the hauling for you. Junk King can be in and out in no time; before you know it your house and yard will be junk-free and good to go for the best 4th of July yet.

I’m on a mission to save breakfast. I’m an evangelical breakfast zealot.
Now, I’m not picking on the people who bolt out the door with nothing but a cup of coffee and a banana. If that’s working for you then keep doing it.
But if you’re feeling a slump mid-morning, or having a hard time focusing your brain, or perhaps you’re not as trim and healthy as you’d like to be, you might focus some thought on how you’re starting your day.
Turns out Mother was right. There are lots of reasons to start your day with a proper breakfast.
Breakfast starts the day with essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals that improves strength, endurance and brain function. That’s good. People who eat a healthy breakfast reduce hunger throughout the day which helps them make better food choices at other meals. That’s good, too.
Now just because breakfast shouldn’t be covered in frosting doesn’t mean it can’t satisfy your sweet tooth. What if peach cobbler and French toast had a baby? You were just thinking that too, right? I decided to force the marriage and the result is this creamy, fruity, protein packed breakfast-y casserole.
This will quickly become a family favorite for weekend brunch. But if you plan it makes a perfect weekday breakfast. It can be prepared the night before and popped in the oven first thing in the morning to fill the house with luscious sweet peach, brown sugar and vanilla fragrance. Wouldn’t that make your morning better? I thought so.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cubed bread in a lightly greased 9×13 baking pan.
Drain peaches reserving syrup. Place peaches evenly over the bread.
Crack eggs into mixing bowl and add milk, reserved syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Blend until thoroughly combined.
Cut cream cheese into small cubes and distribute evenly around the peaches and bread then sprinkle with half the brown sugar.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let the bread soak up all the goodness for at least 5 minutes, or overnight if that’s what you’re doing.
When you’re ready to bake, sprinkle the remaining brown sugar and oatmeal. Bake for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Oh, the divine smell! Vanilla, peaches, cinnamon, toasting bread. OMG.
Diva Tip – Instant variety! You can substitute canned apricots, pears, tropical fruit medley or fruit cocktail and make a whole different amazing breakfast casserole! The mind boggles.
On occasion, we top ours with a little vanilla ice cream because I want to be the popular Mom.
When I’m not being the popular Mom I don’t top it with anything because it really doesn’t need anything.
But, a little syrup might find its way onto the plate.
Or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Oh, God! I must really want to be popular!

Free Things To Do in London: Stroll Around The Beautiful Holland Park.
After spending a few hours in Notting Hill (and having one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in London) I went straight to Holland Park which was a mere 15 minutes away by walking. I love walking around London! Sorry, let me correct that – I love walking around in general as I’ve lived in a pedestrian-unfriendly place for the past couple of years so walking for me is a brand new thing that I now love doing every single day.
I passed by tree-lined streets and beautiful pubs with streetview outdoor seating. It was particularly a hot day, a very rare occurrence for London as it would normally be raining or cold around this time of the year. I guess I brought the heat with me from the Middle East.
There was a short uphill walk from the entrance of Holland Park and as I reached the flat level of the park, I was panting! Not a good sign since it was such a short walk. I’m so unfit! I should do more of this walking I guess. Inside the park itself, the temperature got cooler. All the trees instantly gave me a natural air-conditioning. I had to stop for a bit to catch my breathe and cool down.
I immediately went to the Kyoto Gardens which was absolutely lovely! I’ve seen so many beautiful photos of it before and I knew that I just had to see it. There was a pond in the middle with koi carps and a falls at the far end. It was a typical Japanese garden which was full of abstract aesthetics and beautiful landscape.
Kyoto Gardens was a bit small so I just spent probably 15 minutes there before I had to get out. It was too small for the amount of people in it so I ventured out and explored the rest of Holland Park which was massive. I spent about an hour in here just walking around, having coffee at the cafe inside the park and watching kids as they played on one of the many playgrounds dotted around the park. I really do love the park life here in London. There’s always one nearby where people can go to for relaxation, picnic or even sports. It’s a very new concept for me, new but absolutely welcome.
The nearest tube stations to Holland Park are Kensington High Street, Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park. The park is open from 7:30 am until 30 minutes before dusk.
I see you’re getting familiar with the neighborhood. How exciting the first few months in a new place when you’re getting to know the area.

HTC, after it’s much appreciated HTC 10, is back with its new mobile named HTC U11. Claiming to be a squeezable phone, the HTC U11 is coming with many unique and decent features. The HTC U11 release date in India is June 17th. Check out our two cents on HTC U11 features and specifications.
The HTC U11 packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Octa-core processor, which is the best in the market as of now. The phone runs on the latest Android version, 7.1 (Nougat). The standard OS of HTC U11 is supported by company’s own user interface HTC Sense UI. The phone also packs a 6GB RAM and Adreno 540 Graphics Processing Unit, which is super good if you want to play games.
The primary camera of HTC U11 is a 12MP shooter with autofocus, LED flash, and f/1.7 aperture. It also has some additional features like geo-tagging, touch focus, HDR, and face detection. The secondary, 16MP front camera comes with f/2.0 aperture. The company has concentrated more on the selfie camera which is a juicy 16MP resolution. However, it is proved that the front camera is a little unstable when you’re on the move.
But one feature we loved about the HTC U11 camera is the Acoustic Focus. This feature allows you to target an object while shooting a video camera and amplifies the volume of that object as you zoom in. For suppose you are observing a street performer on the other side of the road, you can point your camera at him/her, zoom and clearly listen what he’s playing. Isn’t that cool?
Coming to the powerhouse, the HTC U11 comes with a non-removable 3600 mAh Li-Po battery. The company claims that a single charge can run for above 300 hours in standby mode and above 24 hours on talk time. Also, the battery of HTC U11 supports Fast charging.
The HTC U11 comes with a 5.5 inch Super LCD5 screen with 71.4% screen to body ratio. The phone looks good both visually and ergonomically, and also carries an impressive 534 ppi pixel density. Coming to the resolution, it packs a 2K display (1440x2560p). So far so good. But what lacks in the design of HTC U11 is both its front and back side.
The front side of the phone is quite standard with big bezels and navigation buttons. The fingerprint scanner is placed in the place of the home button. Coming to the rear side, the back panel is shiny cover with vibrant, offbeat colors. While this looks good from far, it takes a lot of smudges. That’s the reason we put that in ‘What’s not’ section. But yes, the company has given a transparent rubber back cover to avoid smudges.
The HTC U11 comes with a huge 6GB RAM and 128GB internal memory which can be expandable up to 256GB, with a dedicated slot. There’s another variant of the phone, which comes with a 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory. One downside of it is that the phone comes with a Hybrid SIM slot, which means you have to sacrifice either the second SIM or expandable storage.
The fingerprint is front-mounted. USB Type C. And ouch! the HTC U11 doesn’t come with a 3.5mm jack. Also, the HTC U11 features additional things like Dolby audio enhancement, Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic, and sensors like Accelerometer, proximity, and compass. Add the BoomSound feature too, which gives a bassy audio output when playing media out.
The HTC U11 price in India is around INR 53999. When it comes to processor and performance, HTC U11 is a definite keeper. The camera section too is quite good, forgetting the instability in front cam videos. But considering the design, it’s your choice and tastes whether to pick this phone or not. If you like something vibrant and want to get some attention, go for it. Otherwise, take a rain check. You have a couple of other phones like Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel.

The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) has released a list of five tests and procedures that are commonly ordered but not always necessary in sports medicine.
The list, issued as part of Choosing Wisely®, an initiative of the ABIM Foundation, identifies five targeted, evidence-based recommendations that can support conversations between patients and physicians about what care is really necessary.
Avoid ordering a brain CT or brain MRI to evaluate an acute concussion unless there are progressive neurological symptoms, focal neurological findings on exam or there is concern for a skull fracture.
Avoid ordering an abdominal ultrasound examination routinely in athletes with infectious mononucleosis.
Not prescribe oral contraceptive pills as initial treatment for patients with amenorrhea (irregular or no period) or menstrual dysfunction due to the female athlete triad (defined as low energy availability with or without disordered eating, menstrual dysfunction and low bone mineral density).
Avoid ordering a knee MRI for a patient with anterior knee pain without mechanical symptoms or effusion unless the patient has not improved following completion of an appropriate functional rehabilitation program.
Avoid recommending knee arthroscopy as initial management for patients with degenerative meniscal tears and no mechanical symptoms.
"In the spirit of fostering excellence in the care and safety of our athletes and patients, AMSSM physicians value the opportunity to engage patients in conversations that address evidence-based care, shared decision making, and unnecessary and/or harmful interventions," said Christopher Madden, MD, incoming president of the AMSSM.
"AMSSM appreciates the importance of quality initiatives and the principles of the Triple Aim - improving patient and population health, enhancing patient experiences and outcomes, and reducing unneeded cost in healthcare. The Choosing Wisely measures we are releasing and our relationship with the campaign are another valuable step in the right direction for our patients."
The AMSSM Choosing Wisely list was developed after months of careful consideration and review, using the most current evidence about management and treatment options. For each item, evidence was reviewed from peer-reviewed literature and several sports medicine consensus statements. The goal was to identify common topics in the practice of sports medicine that, supported by a review of the literature, would lead to significant health benefits and a reduction of common procedures that can be unnecessary or cause harm.
The list was initially generated and drafted by AMSSM's Quality Measures Subcommittee and then edited and approved by AMSSM's Practice and Policy Committee and the Board of Directors.
"AMSSM has shown tremendous leadership by releasing its list of tests and procedures they say are commonly done in sports medicine, but aren't always necessary," said Richard J. Baron, MD, president and CEO of the ABIM Foundation. "The content of this list and all of the others developed through this effort are helping physicians and patients across the country engage in conversations about what care they need, and what we can do to reduce waste and overuse in our health care system."
Jennifer M. Weiss, MD., an orthopedic surgeon with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group at the Los Angeles Medical Center, said in an email that she completely agreed that MRI is rarely indicated for anterior knee pain. "Anterior knee pain is that which comes from the front of the knee, between kneecap and thighbone. It is not brought on by an injury, rather comes on slowly over time. Therapy is the mainstay of treatment, and MRI is largely unnecessary for this problem," Weiss said.
The campaign also continues to reach millions of consumers nationwide through a stable of consumer and advocacy partners, led by Consumer Reports - the world's largest independent product-testing organization - which has worked with the ABIM Foundation to distribute patient-friendly resources for consumers and physicians to engage in these important conversations.

Despite a continued recovery in the U.S. economy and generally strong growth of American industry last year, not all companies enjoyed a prosperous 2014. In fact, two of the ten largest bankruptcies in history happened last year. Here’s a rundown of the 10 largest bankruptcies (by assets) of all time.
Chrysler closed its lengthy bankruptcy early in 2014 by making its final owed payments to the United Auto Workers after previously completely repayments to the United States Government five years early in 2011. Chrysler had $39.3 billion in assets.
MF Global Holdings Ltd (OTC: MFGLQ) collapsed in 2009 after the brokerage made a $6.3 billion bet on European sovereign debt. MF Global had $40.5 billion in assets.
Energy Future Holdings Corp. filed for bankruptcy in 2014 after the company’s big bets on natural gas failed to pay off. The company had $40.9 billion in assets.
Many of Conseco’s problems stemmed from an ill-advised purchase of mobile homes financier Green Tea Financial in 1998. The insurance company had $61.4 billion in assets at the time of its bankruptcy.
Rampant fraud within the energy-trading company led to Enron’s infamous stock slide and subsequent bankruptcy. The company has $65.5 billion in assets.
After over a century of operations, CIT Group Inc (NYSE: CIT) filed for bankruptcy when it couldn’t find funding during the credit crunch in 200.9. The commercial lender had $80.4 billion in assets.
Bogged down by debt and unfavorable union deals, General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) agreed to bankruptcy in 2009 as part of the terms of its government bailout. GM had $91.0 billion in assets.
After a nearly $4 billion accounting scandal, the operator of the world’s largest Internet network and second largest long-distance phone company filed for bankruptcy in 2002. WorldCom had $103.9 billion in assets.
One of the most shocking failings of the financial crisis of 2008-2009 was Washington Mutual; a $16.7 billion nine-day withdrawal run left the bank crippled. The company had $327.9 billion in assets.
Investment bank Lehman Brothers is not only the largest bankruptcy of all time (by twofold), it is the poster child for the financial crisis. The company had $691.1 billion in assets.
