Victims of fraud often ask us whether they should proceed by way of their own private action, a group action or a class action. The issue often comes down to a question of economics (both for the fraud victims and the law firm being asked to represent them) and litigation strategy. This blog post provides some basic information on the alternatives open to fraud victims who incurred a loss where there are multiple victims to fraud perpetrated by one or more scam artists, or where there are legitimate secondary defendants, such as accessories to the fraud or others who knowingly or negligently facilitated it.
We start with our explanation of the difference between a private action, a group action, and a class action. In a private action there is one plaintiff who controls his or her action. In cases of a fraud with multiple victims the individual plaintiff can attempt to seek a recovery ahead of other victims without concern for their common interests. Private actions are often commenced by victims who have the financial ability to pay for their own litigation, who wish to attempt recovery ahead of other victims, and who have little interest in the effect of the fraud on others.
In a group action there are multiple plaintiffs who are victims of the same fraudster and who have a common interest in suing the same primary fraudster and secondary defendants. In group actions, the various individuals must agree that there is transparency between all members of the group and their counsel. The group members must also agree on a method of sharing the proceeds of a recovery. Often in group actions there is one member of the group who acts as liaison between the group and counsel. Group actions are often sought by victims who do not have the financial ability to pay for litigation on their own and who have a shared interest in pooling their financial resources in order retain counsel and the necessary experts to seek justice against the fraudster.
In class actions there are often only one or two plaintiffs who are representative of a large class of persons who are victims of the same fraudster or others who facilitated the fraud. In class actions the class has little say in or information about the day-to-day communication with counsel and strategy decisions in the litigation. Class actions are often sought by victims who do not have the financial ability to pay for their own litigation or even to contribute to a group action. Class actions are often brought forward on a contingency basis, normally in the range of 30% of recovered funds plus disbursements to be paid to counsel. Class actions, therefore, provide access to justice where justice would otherwise not prevail, and the potential for significant fees, but also significant risk, for the lawyers handling the case.
We point out here that most private and group actions are against the primary fraudsters, and those who directly assisted, conspired or benefited from the fraud. Class actions, in a fraud recovery scenario, are usually only brought where there are multiple victims, and where is a defendant such as a professional or financial institution that facilitated the fraud. The reason for this is economics: in choosing to pursue a class action on behalf of a large group of victims, the class action law firm, in the business of taking on the risk of possibly losing the case, will want to ensure there is a means of recovery if it succeeds in the case.
A class action law firm who wishes to remain in business would never accept a class action on contingency where the fraudster has little or no recoverable assets (approaching the value of the victims’ claim) and thus virtually no chance of the law firm ever being paid for its time.
As is evident above, the type of action commenced is often dependent on the ability and wherewithal of a client to pay for his or her litigation. Fraud actions are generally not amenable to contingency agreements other than in the class action scenario. This is because – unlike personal injury or employment actions where radio and billboard ambulance chaser lawyers advertise a “no win–no fee” illusion – there is no insurance policy or viable company from which to recover. As a result, in most private and group fraud actions, lawyers will request their fees be paid by traditional hourly rate agreements, at least for the initial phases of the case.
Some fraud recovery lawyers, who can be convinced of the merits of a case or can freeze assets at the outset of litigation or are otherwise confident about the prospects of recovery, can be convinced to enter into deferred fee or hybrid retainers in private or group actions. By deferred fee, we simply mean that the lawyer’s hourly rate is paid out of the recovered funds. By hybrid fee retainers, we mean that the client pays a percentage of the actual hourly rate, and the lawyer recovers the balance of the hourly rate of the proceeds of recovery. Often victims seek these forms of retainers so that the lawyer has “skin in the game” – meaning the lawyer has an incentive to obtain a recovery rather than leaving the client victim with all the risk in the litigation.
In fraud cases deferred fee and hybrid fee retainers are often only prudent after the lawyer has had the opportunity to investigate the case, which often means the victim must pay for the investigation, pleadings and discovery phase. This implies that deferred and hybrid fee retainers are often only prudent for the mediation, pretrial and trial phases. Victims of fraud must often pay for the initial investigation, pleading and discovery phase because it is their lack of due diligence that led to the loss, and because a lawyer cannot adequately assess recovery liability and recovery risk until the fraudster and other defendants have been discovered. It is not unusual to have separate retainers for the various phases of a fraud case to fairly allocate the risk between the victims and their counsel.
Those considering private or group actions should be aware that case management (as would take place in a class action) is available to private and group litigants who wish to achieve litigation efficiency despite their own private interests not to proceed as a class. For example, case management of actions of private and group litigants who opt in for the discovery phase often results in savings as documents of common interest to all parties are shared and examinations of defendants are conducted together. Once discovery is complete, the case management can be dissolved and the private and group litigants can pursue judgment recovery at their own pace and in their own interests.
Information on the litigation process for private and group actions has been discussed in other blog posts we have published – see: https://www.investigationcounsel.com/post/information-for-fraud-victims-about-the-fraud-recovery-litigation-process/. Unlike private and group actions, before a class action will be permitted to proceed through the litigation process, a certification motion is required.
The Ponzi scheme case of Pardhan v. Bank of Montreal, 2012 ONSC 2229, provides a comprehensive discussion of a certification motion in a fraud recovery class action context. In Pardhan, the fraudster Salim Damji (“Damji”) falsely represented to thousands of investors that he had developed a new teeth whitening product. The investors gave their money to Damji in trust for shares in his company STS Instant White (“STS”). As is usually the scam, a significant return on investment was promised. In reality there was no teeth whitening product, and there was no STS in which to obtain shares. Damji simply used his investors’ money for his own interests.
The total fraud perpetrated by Damji in only just over three years amounted to approximately $77M. In 2002 the fraud was discovered and he was criminally charged. Damji ultimately plead guilty and was issued a 7½ year sentence. While the criminal case was making it way through the courts, a civil action was commenced. A receiver was appointed, but only a few million dollars were recovered, which was used to pay the receiver and receiver’s lawyer’s costs. The receiver’s efforts, however, led to the discovery of sufficient evidence to consider actions against other defendants whose conduct made it possible for Damji to perpetrate his fraud – such as the Bank of Montreal.
Bringing an action against a bank by individual or small groups of investors was virtually cost prohibitive. The only hope for the thousands of investor victims was a class action against the bank. Accordingly, in 2002 Pardhan was chosen as a representative plaintiff of the investors, and an action was commenced against the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) for knowing assistance, knowing receipt and negligence.
The litigation process in Ontario for class actions is governed by the Class Proceedings Act. Section 2(3) provides that within 90 days of the last statement of defence, notice of intent to defend or notice of appearance being served, a motion shall be made to certify that the proceeding should proceed as a class action.
The plaintiff’s evidentiary burden on a certification motion is low. The Court must be satisfied that there is some basis in fact for the certification requirements (described below) other than the first requirement, which is whether the pleading discloses a cause of action. For that requirement, the Court assumes the allegations to be true and assess whether it is “plain and obvious” that no reasonable causes of action are pleaded. If it is not plain and obvious, then the first requirement is satisfied and the Court will consider whether the remaining requirements are met.
a litigation plan is prepared for advancing the proceeding on behalf of the class and communicating with the class.
The core of a class proceeding is the element of commonality. Commonality is measured qualitatively as opposed to quantitatively. The goals of a class action are to provide access to justice, to promote the efficient use of judicial resources, to sanction wrongdoers for their unlawful conduct, and to encourage behaviour modification by wrongdoers.
Sometimes at certification motions a defendant will take a first swipe at having the action dismissed. As mentioned above, in Pardhan the plaintiffs sued BMO for knowing assistance, knowing receipt and negligence. In response, at the certification motion BMO argued that section 437 of the Bank Act precluded the claims by the non-customer plaintiffs because it provides that a bank has no general obligation to monitor its customers’ accounts.
The Court held that while this may be so, section 437 of the Bank Act does not preclude a plaintiff in Pardhan from bringing an action for the torts as alleged. Rather, the Court held that the real question is at what stage in its dealings with a customer with trust funds on deposit does a bank’s knowledge of its customer’s affairs impose a duty on the bank to inquire as to the possible misapplication of trust funds.
For the tort of knowing assistance, Pardhan acknowledged that to impose a duty on BMO required the investors to prove BMO had actual knowledge of the existence of a trust. If BMO had actual knowledge of a trust between the investors and Damji, and actual knowledge of breach of the trust by Damji, then BMO had a duty to make inquiries, as a bank has an independent duty not to be a party to Damji’s dishonest acts. The Court held that constructive knowledge is not sufficient on which to base an allegation of knowing assistance.
For the tort of knowing receipt, Pardhan alleged that the bank benefited from Damji’s breach of trust if it used the money to reduce Damji’s overdraft, or if the bank collected service fees from its banking contract with Damji. To state otherwise, if BMO was enriched by Damji’s account with them, and the investors were correspondingly deprived by Damji’s conduct, the investors were only required to prove that BMO was constructively aware of Damji’s breach of trust and that BMO benefited from it. The standard of knowledge of a bank in such a scenario is constructive, not actual knowledge.
For the tort of negligence, Pardhan alleged the bank engaged in negligent conduct by (1) failing to verify the legitimacy of Damji’s business activities, and (2) failing to make reasonable inquiries after being put on notice of facts suggesting that Damji was involved in a fraudulent scheme. It is unsettled law as to whether a bank is required to have actual knowledge, as opposed to the lower standard of constructive knowledge.
What is required to be pled in a negligence action by a fraud victim against a fraudster’s bank is how the bank obtained knowledge that the fraudster was engaged in unlawful conduct. In the Pardhan case, the plaintiff plead that Damji deposited cheques marked “in trust” into his personal accounts, as opposed to trust accounts. BMO was aware of this irregularity and commissioned its own internal investigation, yet the bank’s corporate security did nothing about it. Sometimes the lure of profit overtakes the better judgment of financial institutions.
To state liability for negligence another way, if a bank knows of a customer’s fraud in the use of its facilities or has reasonable grounds to believe this is happening, and fails to make reasonable inquiries, a bank may be liable to those who suffer from the loss. The standard of knowledge on the bank is the civil standard for a finding of fraud – that is, on a balance of probabilities based on clear and convincing evidence. A lesser standard would be unfair to a bank. Further, damages would be limited to the amount of transactions the bank knew were fraudulent. Focused allegations – often requiring significant investigation – are required for a pleading to survive a Rule 21 motion or a motion for certification.
The pleadings of negligence against a bank should also adequately state the “Ann’s Test”. That is, it should address proximity, or the neighbour test. At law, a “neighbour” is any person who is so closely and directly affected by a bank’s act or omission that a bank reasonably should contemplate such persons as being affected by the bank’s acts or omissions. The proximity analysis involves a consideration of factors such as expectations, representations, reliance, and property interests. The class of such persons must be restricted to those the bank could reasonably foresee would be affected by their conduct or omissions.
In the Pardhan case, the investors who wrote cheques “in trust” to Damji had a reasonable expectation that their cheques would be deposited into a trust account of Damji. By marking their cheques payable “in trust” the bank had knowledge that the persons who wrote the cheques expected the cheques to be deposited into Damji’s trust account. Therefore there was a duty on the bank to make inquiries if cheques marked “in trust” were deposited into an account that was not a trust account.
In Pardhan, the plaintiff proposed the class to be all persons who (1) reside in Canada, (2) gave monies to Damji for investment purposes, (3) whose monies were deposited into Damji’s accounts at BMO, and (4) who have not otherwise recovered their monies. The Court agreed, holding that there simply must be a rational connection between the class members and the common interest.
Common issues mean common, but not necessarily identical, issues of fact and law. The underlying determination is whether the resolution of the proposed common issue will avoid duplication of fact finding or legal analysis. The common issue criterion is not a high legal hurdle, but a plaintiff must adduce some evidence to show that issues are common. The evidence adduced must relate to the allegations alleged – in the case of Pardhan to knowing assistance, knowing receipt and negligence.
Fundamental to the Pardhan case was that the trust between the investors and Damji was not an express, but rather a constructive trust. Without an express trust agreement, the factual and legal issue was how was BMO to know a trust existed. The pleadings therefore required a declaration that the BMO was a constructive trustee for the investors of all monies they deposited in trust to Damji’s account, and that the BMO breached it own internal policies by allowing Damjj to deposit cheques marked “in trust” into accounts held by Damji that were not trust accounts.
The “preferable procedure” part of the certification test is based on the goals of class actions: (1) access to justice, (2) judicial economy, (3) behaviour modification and (4) sanctions. If the individual class member issues overwhelm the issues of the class, then a class procedure is not justified. In Pardhan, the common issues affecting the class were substantially greater than those of the individual class members.
In Pardhan the Court noted that contributory negligence is not a defence available to an allegation of breach of trust. A bank can not allege contributory negligence when a bank acted on a fraudulent misrepresentation itself, and did nothing about its own constructive knowledge of the fraud. The Court also noted that the possibility that discoverability may require an individual inquiry is not reason to deny certification.
The last part of the test for certification is that a Court must find that the proposed representative will vigorously and capably prosecute the interest of the class, and not be in conflict of interest with other members of the class. In the case of the proposed representative plaintiff Pardhan, BMO argued that he could not bear the cost of the litigation.
In Pardhan, evidence was led that an Investors Recovery Group was created to respond to issues common to all investors. Pardhan was a member of the group. Pardhan familiarised himself with the issues of the case, and the steps in the process. Further, Pardhan accepted the role of the representative plaintiff.
The Court noted that at a certification hearing a representative plaintiff is not required to show that he is able to pay costs awards. To require evidence of ability to pay costs is akin to a motion for security for costs, and is inconsistent with the objective of access to justice. The Court also noted that representative plaintiffs, in the appropriate cases, may be awarded an honorarium if the case was successfully prosecuted or a settlement obtained.
Part of the role of a representative plaintiff is providing evidence to support a litigation plan. It sets out usual steps in the litigation process. The litigation plan should also set out in detail the skill and expertise of the class counsel involved and the resources available to litigate the action to a successful conclusion. The litigation plan should further set out how damages are to be shared among the class, how class member are to be identified, and how communication to class members is to be managed.

text: We wished to assess the antigenic expression of primary lung tumors diagnosed as either carcinosarcoma or sarcoma in order to determine whether this information would be useful in distinguishing the two. We therefore immunohistochemically analyzed six pulmonary carcinosarcomas and five primary lung sarcomas for the presence of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), S100 protein, cytokeratin and vimentin using commercially available monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies on formalin fixed tissues. Six of six carcinosarcomas stained positively for cytokeratin while none of the sarcomas stained. In three carcinosarcomas both the carcinomatous and sarcomatous areas were positive while in three only the carcinomatous areas were positive. CEA staining was present in five carcinosarcomas and absent in all the sarcomas. CEA positivity was strong and not confined to those tumors with obvious gland formation. Staining for S100 protein was positive in two carcinosarcomas but only in those areas showing chondroid differentiation. Immunohistochemical staining for vimentin using two different monoclonal antibodies gave inconsistent results. We conclude that in differentiating between a carcinosarcoma and a sarcoma of the lung, immunohistochemical staining for both cytokeratin and CEA are useful with cytokeratin marginally preferable. The data indicate that carcinosarcoma of the lung, like that of the upper aerodigestive tract, expresses antigens suggesting both epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation.

I ran across the idea of recording my lessons via iPad using this tutorial (I probably want to have objects to demonstrate with, so I may want to not use an iPad). I was inspired by Salman Khan of Khan Academy (great article here about him). I can create the non-linear curriculum that I want by making the lessons cover everything that you need to know while putting links in the video to point people who want to learn more to more things (hence non-linear learning. There are many branches that you can go down in addition to learning the core material).
The whole point of non-linear learning is to capture the moment of inspiration, that time when someone is genuinely interested in a subject and wants to learn more. It is at that moment that I want to present the possibility of diving into extra material that goes above and beyond what is necessary to understand what I want people to learn. I've always wanted a course that gave me the opportunity to learn more than was necessary and explore things that I found interesting, and now I can create that for other people.

The studio I work at has three studios – one large and two small — as well as a small theatre space that seats about 100 people. The two smaller studios and the theatre space have an upright acoustic piano, and the larger studio has a baby grand piano. I actually prefer to play on the upright acoustic pianos as I find their tone more appealing – not to mention the fact that I can get more emotion out of these pianos!
The very first ballet class I played for was a big surprise, because I had no idea what to expect or what would be expected of me by either the teacher or the dancers. I walked into the studio and the first person I saw was the teacher (who seemed to me to be very old), holding a lit cigarette in one hand and a cane in the other!

Last night while helping some guildies level their alts in Outlands - Hellfire Peninsula, I found that I had some unfinished instances and related quests. Namely, Hellfire Ramparts. I read somewhere that it is rather easy for a level 80 Warlock to solo Ramparts, but last time I tried I failed miserably.
Now, with a new Destruction build, and a few equipment upgrades the Ramparts were manageable. With voidy tanking, I could easily handle the groups of three warriors. The bosses all dropped rather quickly, in fact the second boss (Nazan and Vazruden) never moved to phase 2. In fact, I only died once, and that was right at the entrance when I aggro'd 2 parties of three mobs and a patrol.
After completing Ramparts, another guildie wanted to run Shattered Halls. This level 70 instance was a bit harder. I died three times in this instance, twice due to bad pulls on my part. "Hey! voidy did well in Ramparts, he can manage 5 mobs... oh my, I just aggro'd all of them." It took about 90 minutes, but we were able to clear the last boss, who I also aggro'd and wiped due to failing to use my health options (Endless Healing Potion and/or Lifeblood).

Enough of the peaches and pinks—try these unconventional blush shades that may look scary on the pan, but perf on your cheeks!
Before you scream "CLOWN ALERT," chill and be informed that a light dusting of a blood-hued blush delivers a youthful and romantic flush.
ICYMI, Pantone's color of the year for 2018 is Ultra Violet! With this shade on your cheeks, your face will appear brighter and well-rested.
Tangerine is superb on morena complexions, as this complements the golden undertones of Pinay skin.
Okay, before you panic, this pigment is actually in a (very, very) deep plum shade. A thin veil leaves a berry stain on the cheeks, which, IMHO, is ultra-flattering for all skin tones!
When you're wearing bold eye makeup, you can balance your look with a subtle sweep of taupe or copper blush that adds warmth and definition to your face.
Increase the drama with a shocking and strong pink blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Why adopt and not shop?
Muk Luk, the puppy kitten. This little guy was found alone in a wood pile and is currently being raised/fostered as part of a puppy pack at Aska’s Animals. Please call the PAWS office for adoption info.
JACKSON, WY — Hello October. The month of pumpkin flavored everything, creative costumes, and too many fun-sized candy bars. October is also National Adopt a Shelter Pet Month and what better time than meow to talk about our local shelter pets.
Nationally, animal shelter intake numbers are declining. In 2011, approximately 7.2 million pets entered shelters in the United States. In 2017, this number decreased to 6.5 million. While it is important to celebrate small victories, 6.5 million translates to more than 17,000 pets entering shelters every day. Of the pets entering shelters in 2017, 1.5 million were euthanized. That means more than 4,000 adoptable pets were killed every day in our country last year. These 1.5 million euthanized pets include many purebred dogs like Dachshunds, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shepherds.
Longest AAC Kitty City resident, Harper. Her mantra is save the drama for your mama!
With the increased efforts in spay/neuter education and resources nationwide one might ask, “Why are we killing so many adoptable pets in shelters each year?” The answer is simple: there are still too many pets being born each year. Humans are breeding pets EVERYWHERE. Craigslist, Misty’s List, the local newspaper constantly have puppies for sale. Each puppy sold is a dog not adopted from a shelter, but is a dog that could wind up in one.
Locally the Jackson/Teton County Animal Shelter intake numbers have decreased, but Lucky’s Place of Star Valley is still constantly full and the Teton Valley Community Animal Shelter’s numbers are holding steady. The Animal Adoption Center’s numbers are fairly predictable as they rescue pets out of shelters where they are at risk of being euthanized. Two major cities outside of Jackson: Rock Springs, WY and Idaho Falls, Idaho both have municipally managed shelters which regularly euthanize pets due to overcrowding. Last year 41% of the cats at the Idaho Falls Animal Shelter and 14% of the cats at the Rock Springs Animal Shelter were euthanized. The silver lining to these percentages is that these numbers have decreased over the last 3 years, because of rescue organizations like the Animal Adoption Center and statewide spay/neuter initiatives.
PAWS will always be an advocate for making adoption the first option. So, if you’re looking to add a pet to your home check out Petfinder.com, a search engine for adoptable pets. It’s a great resource any time you’re considering a new pet. Currently, within 100 miles of Jackson, there are 115 adoptable dogs and 224 adoptable cats. If you have a specific breed in mind, you can search Petfinder by breed. There are hundreds of rescues in the U.S. dedicated to specific breeds who can be found on Petfinder or a simple google search. Additionally, you can call your local shelter to let them know what you are looking for. Shelters have “in the market” books and will alert you when they have what you’re looking or if they know where an adoptable might be that fits your desires. With a little extra effort and patience, a rescue that fits your needs can be found.
If you still want to buy a puppy from a breeder please do your homework. Ask questions about their process: Are they breeding strictly for money? Have the parents been genetically tested? What is the plan if the puppy doesn’t work out as a forever pet for you? If the seller doesn’t have an application process for buying their puppies, that should be a red flag to you. A lot of people who are cruel and/or neglectful to their pets obtain them from these types of sellers. Also, any breeder who is willing to ship a dog to you without meeting you face-to-face should be carefully screened. If the breeder doesn’t want you coming to their facility, chances are they have something to hide.
When you make the decision to add a furry family member to your brood, remember a pet is a lifelong responsibility. You wouldn’t abandon your child because they’re having a hard time with potty-training nor would you forget about your Grandma because she isn’t able to bake cookies anymore. All pets, purchased and adopted, deserve a loving home for their entire lives.

Hola! So this past weekend, I was fortunate enough to take a trip to Yunnan, China. This past long weekend I was fortunate enough to go on a trip to Yunnan, China where I got to visit the provinces of Kunming and Lijiang-areas for the most part largely untouched by mainstream tourism. I got to hang out and dance off with some ethnic minorities and of course eat with them too (more on that to come). So our lovely tour guide told us that in Yunnan, there is a saying that says people in Yunnan eat everything with four legs except for tables aka short for insects are awesome. So… when I saw a stand selling the critters I decided to take them up on the challenge. Silk worms and bees-are you ready? P.S. There's more "unique" food to come.
Moral of the story? Don't bet me because I will do it. By the way, sister-you owe me $100 U.S. Thanks.

THE LAST SOUND REVELATION are a post rock instrumental band from Rome with various influences including Hard Rock, Metal, Prog and Blues Rock. The project was born in 2005 from an idea put together by bassist Niccolò and guitarist Francesco who compose instrumental pieces and laid the foundations for what we now call THE LAST SOUND REVELATION.
Niccolò (bass) and Francesco (guitar) come from a metal background, Tiziano (drums) from hard rock and Massimiliano (guitar) from blues and rock. The Last Sound Revelation project aims to stimulate in those who listen an emotional experience that captures images and inner moods by trying to conquer those who usually do not follow it, trying to offer a more original and different product.
Watch out for The Last Sound Revelation debut self-titled EP coming out via Sliptrick Records alter in the year.

So far Pope Francis and his Vatican team have been strikingly silent, at least in public, on the latest cycle of street protests and violence in Iran. By no means, however, should that suggest they're not following the situation closely.
ROME – Generally speaking, almost anytime there’s a tense situation unfolding someplace in the world, you can count on popes to add their voices to appeals for peace and calm. How much difference such fervorinos actually make may be open to question, but they’re usually as regular as clockwork.
That rule of thumb makes it noteworthy that as a cycle of street protests in Iran nears the end of its first full week, having broken out last Thursday and so far leaving a reported 21 people dead in clashes between protesters and police, there’s been virtually no comment from the Vatican.
Since Thursday, Pope Francis has had natural chances to express concern and prayer at least three times – in his Angelus address on New Year’s Eve, in another Angelus on New Year’s Day, and his regular General Audience on Wednesday. He didn’t do so on any of those occasions, despite addressing a number of other causes of concern, including recent attacks in Egypt on the country’s Coptic Orthodox minority.
Other world leaders certainly have not been observing a rule of silence, notably including U.S. President Donald Trump, but also French President Emmanuel Macron, who made a phone call to Tehran on Thursday urging “restraint,” and Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose Foreign Ministry released a statement Jan. 2 asserting that “external forces” are fueling the uprisings.
There’s also been no communique from the Vatican’s Secretariat of State, its main diplomatic agency, and no media commentary from senior Vatican officials. Coverage of the protests so far in L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, has been right down the middle and restrained, providing the latest news but little else.
Word to the wise: None of this, in the slightest, means the Vatican isn’t paying attention.
On Tehran’s side too, there are plenty of clear signs it takes its ties with Rome seriously. For one thing, Iran’s diplomatic relations with the Vatican predate Washington’s by 30 years, and they survived the shock of the Iranian Revolution in 1979 uninterrupted. Here’s a little-known but telling fact: Still today, Iran has more diplomats accredited to its Vatican embassy than any other nation except the Dominican Republic.
Fundamentally, Iran does not want to be perceived as a “rogue state,” and positive engagement with the planet’s most visible Christian leader is a powerful way to distinguish itself from radical forces within the Islamic world. Further, being on good terms with the pope is also perceived as a way for Tehran to counter its generally frosty relationship with other Western powers, above all, the U.S. in the Trump era.
Recent months have brought clear signs of alignment between Rome and Tehran, on matters large and small.
From geopolitics to retail-level cooperation, when an earthquake struck Iran in November leaving 454 people dead and more than 7,000 injured, a rapid response came from the Catholic charitable group Caritas Italia which sprang into action, with the government’s permission, and its efforts later won praise from Iranian officials.
At a deeper level, many experts on Christian/Muslim relations have argued there’s a natural spiritual affinity between Catholics and the Shi’a Islam that’s dominant in Iran, including a strong streak of popular religiosity and devotion, a blend of scripture and tradition, and leadership by a clerical caste.
Given all that, the Vatican’s caution on wading into the fray over the developing protests may be understandable.
For one thing, the situation in the Iranian streets now is not clear-cut, at least in terms of what the consequences of speaking out might be. Were the pope to say something perceived as encouraging the protests, it might lead to more violence and coarsen relations with Tehran in the bargain; if the Vatican remains silent, it could be seen as appeasement of Tehran in the face of legitimate aspirations for greater democracy and economic opportunity.
Were this an earthquake, say, or floods someplace, it would be far easier to express solidarity without somehow seeming partisan.
There’s also the principle – admittedly, one sometimes more honored in the breach than the observance, but still a principle – that Church commentary on the political affairs of a country ought to come from the local bishops rather than the papal representative there.
We recently saw an explicit reiteration of that point in a very different context, the Democratic Republic of Congo. When contacted for comment on recent anti-government protests there that left at least eight people dead, the office of the pope’s ambassador said that “the promotion of social justice and the defense of the civil and political rights of citizens is an integral part of the social doctrine of the Church,” but added it was the place of the Archbishop of Kinshasa, not the Vatican, to say whether the protests were legitimate.
Finally, there’s also the hard truth that the Vatican has another constituency it must consider before making any public statement on Iran, which is the country’s Christian minority. The situation is tenuous, with small historic Christian groups tolerated but consigned to a sort of second-class status, while more recent converts to Christianity from Islam can face open persecution and violence.
Any pope or Vatican diplomat thus always must weigh whether a particular bit of commentary is likely to make the fate of a fledgling Christian community better or worse, and often that’s a prescription for caution.
The pope will have another natural opportunity to enter the fray over Iran on Monday, when he delivers his annual speech to the diplomatic corps accredited to the Vatican, generally considered his most important foreign policy address of the year.
Given how the stars appear aligned, it’s not clear the smart money would be on Francis saying anything too dicey on Monday. Even if he does decide discretion is the better part of valor, you can be sure that doesn’t mean Vatican officials aren’t in a full, upright and locked position in terms of monitoring the latest Iranian crisis.

Even in this day and age with all the advancements in medical science and technology, Meningitis can be life-threatening. A large number of such cases are reported in the UK every year. The disease results in inflammation of the protective membrane that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. Usually it is caused by a virus or bacteria, but even reasons like injury, certain medicines and illness can also lead to the disease.
Read on to know the different types of Meningistis cases, their symptoms and cure.
Disease types: There are five distinct types of Meningitis cases.
Viral Meningitis cases are more commonly found and are normally less severe.
It is caused mainly by enteroviruses, although mumps, measles and chicken pox viruses are also found to be responsible. Even viruses that are spread through mosquitos can spread the disease.
Viral Meningitis symptoms include headache, stiff neck and fever and it is often seen that patients get cured on their own, without any particular treatment. In certain cases, doctors prescribe antiviral medicines, after considering a patient’s age and general health.
Wash your hands thoroughly with medicated hand wash after using toilets and changing diapers. Avoid direct body contact with affected persons and get vaccinated againts diseases like mumps, measles, chicken pox and rubella.
Bacterial Menigitis can cause severe complications including brain damage and loss of hearing. It is potentially life-threatening if proper treatment is not given at the right time.
This type of the disease is caused by certain bacteria, like Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitides. The disease caused by Haemophilus influenza is also known as Type B Meningitis. Cases of bacterial Meningitis spread from affected individuals, through sneezing, coughing, mouth-to-mouth kissing and oral resurrection. The bacteria get into the blood stream of a normal person and gradually reach the brain and the spinal cord.
The common symptoms of this type of Meningitis include fever, stiff neck and severe headache. Patients also develop nausea, rashes and light sensitivity within a few days of getting infected. Often, the symptoms are mistaken as flu and hence, Private GP Practices in London suggest to diagnose patients with such symptoms with utmost care.
Proper dosage of antibiotics can cure the problem but, as already mentioned earlier, medication should start without much delay. Meningococcal vaccines are the best preventive measure to it.
Men B vaccine for children: This vaccine is mainly for babies falling in the age groups of 8 weeks, 16 weeks and 1 year. It protects your child from meningococcal group B bacteria. Considering the high Meningitis B vaccine cost at private clinics in London, you can take your baby to the routine childhood vaccination programme provided by the NHS. There, the preventive medication is provided free.
Such cases are rarely found in the UK these days. It is mainly caused by breathing in fungal spores from bird and bat droppings. People with weak immune system are at high risk developing the disease.
High dosage of anti-fungal intravenous medicines are prescribed in such cases.
A parasite, Naegleria fowleri, is the culprit behind this disease. A patient develops a serious infection in the brain, which progresses very fast. These cases are rarely found, but can be fatal.
The symptoms are almost the same as mentioned above. Moreover, complexities like confusion, hallucination, seizures and balance loss may develop. The parasite causing the disease dwell in fresh water, as in lakes, hot springs and rivers. They enter the brain through the nose and affects the brain tissues. Unlike the other types of the disease, this one does not spread through contamination from affected patients.
Non infectious Meningitis: It occurs as side-effect of cancer, a injury in the head and even from certain medications.
Patients complain of stiff neck, fever, vomiting and sensitivity towards light.

UK online retail sales continued their strong showing in 2017, growing 15 per cent year-on-year in February, according to the latest data from the IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index.
The figures build on the solid growth of 16 per cent seen in February 2016 and mark the second consecutive month that average basket value was at a seven year high for that month of the year.
However, while on the surface this represents a strong month for online retail sales growth, there were some signs that sustaining this rate of growth throughout the whole year may be a challenge.
One of the main drivers for online retail in recent years has been the growth of sales made through smartphone devices. For the past three months, however, the rate of growth through these devices has roughly halved year-on-year — in February 2016 it was 96 per cent year-on-year, but in February 2017 it was just 57 per cent.
Tablet growth remains low (3.5 per cent) and, with smartphones taking a greater share of sales through mobile devices, a sustained slowdown in sales growth through this channel will come to impact upon growth rates for online retail overall.
However, this slowdown in growth through mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) is specific to online-only retailers. For multichannel retailers, which have both an online and in-store offering, growth in sales made on mobile devices was up slightly year-on-year, while the average basket value of online retail sales in general rose by nearly £20.
Justin Opie, managing director at IMRG, added: “It’s encouraging to see the second month of seven-year highs for average basket values in a row. When it comes to smartphones though, the slowdown in sales growth does appear to be fairly dramatic. That said, rates of smartphone growth over the past two years have been very high, and that couldn’t continue indefinitely.

Okay. It’s okay. Just spend some time here with no internet. Sit with the boredom, with the antsiness. Don’t fight the tiredness, but don’t disappear into it, either. Stay present. Sit in the hard-backed chair. Sit up straight. See how it feels. See how your thoughts are different than when you’re slouching. Close your eyes. Open your eyes.
Write one true sentence. Write one lie. Look at the books around you. Wonder what you can learn from just their spines. Make an observation: There are 34 volumes in The Dictionary of Art, and only 29 volumes in The Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Wonder about those five less volumes. Wonder if they are because five books worth of music was never recorded, or if it was never even written. Feel the missing music in your bones.
Notice you feel a little less sleepy. Look out the window at the brick wall of a school. Remember your own school’s brick wall, when you were ten. Describe how it felt when you leaned against it at recess: Warm and hard, the rough edges catching on your clothes. You wanted to lie down in the grass, like you did in your yard at home, and daydream. But the kids would have laughed at you, so you leaned against the wall and watched them play. You were tired then, too. Recess was after lunch. There were two and a half more hours before you would find your little brother and walk home.
Wonder if you could write a story about walking home from school with your little brother. Think about it for a few minutes and come up with nothing. Feel discouraged. Don’t fight the discouragement, but don’t disappear into it, either. Use it. Describe it. Where do you feel it in your body? Your chest? Your arms? Notice that it makes you feel alone and separate from the other people around you. Wonder how many of the other quiet people in the library feel discouraged, feel alone. Write for them.
Write for them. Write your story about walking home from school for the other ten year old girls who felt alone at recess. Write it for the grown-ups in the library who were ten once. Write it for the ones who remember the prickly feeling of the school wall against their skin. Write it for the ones who have forgotten and only know that they are missing something in their bones. Write it for the musicians who would be in volumes 30-34 if they weren’t so tired and discouraged. Write till they know they are not alone. Write till you know you are not alone. Write till the musicians pick up their instruments and start to play. Write.
I spent the day at Walden Pond yesterday. It was beautiful and peaceful, and even there I found myself thinking about terrorists and bombings, wondering what I would do, in which direction I would run. When I started thinking about the babies I made myself stop. Psychiatrists have descriptors of this kind of thinking: psychotic depression, or delusional depression. I think these are are inaccurate terms. If I had been in Nice, my thoughts wouldn’t have been wouldn’t have been delusions. They would have been prophetic.
Madeleine L’Engle said that we tell our children there are no monsters, that they are safe, but that is a lie. There are monsters, and we know it, and what we really mean is that the monsters will likely pick some other place to wreak havoc today. We mean we are safe-ish, probably, for now, and that the only way to stay sane is to live in denial about the ish. Some of us are just bad at living in denial. If I were in charge I would call it non-delusional depression. I’d call it paying attention.
But we do have to live our lives, and one thing about depression is that it makes it very hard to keep moving, to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Just being aware of all the pain in your own life, and your friends’ and family’s, and the world tends to make you just want to curl up into a ball and cry. And the problem with that, besides the fact that you are not really enjoying your one wild and precious life, is that you may actually be one of the people who can *do* something about someone else’s pain and suffering. Your awareness of it may not be, or may not only be, a mental illness, a descriptor penned in your chart in the sharp, quick script of an over-scheduled psychiatrist. It may be a call to action. Because you have to be able to see the monsters in order to fight them.
But you have to see something else, too. You have to see the beauty. You have to see the angels, the good, the God. Because in fact you are at Walden Pond, where the green of the trees and the blue of the sky swirl together in the water your body is moving through. You are — rather against your will, but still — sharing that particular cove with a large turtle, who has poked its head out of the water in a little triangle, and is assessing which way you are likely to go so it can go another. You are sitting on your towel, letting the breeze air-dry you, feeling that breeze with every tiny hair that it raises on your arms. You are walking further down the beach, coming around a bend, and finding a cairn in the shallow water, a miracle of architecture, made of stones, balanced on sand, rising out of the water.
The monsters are real, but the stars are real, too. There is great evil and sadness in the world, but there are also the stars and the clear, good darkness of space. The star that gave its life in the book was fiction, of course, but there are real acts of love and healing every day. My swim through the glacier-dug pond was one. My prayer for my friend as we texted each other that we were struggling was one, and so was hers for me. The act of building the cairn was one, too. Any creative act is. And I did not think of it yesterday, but a cairn is a memorial, too. Perhaps its maker was a prophet. Perhaps she was carrying the weight of the world’s grief, past and future, and shaped it into the best thing she could, a piece of art. Or perhaps she didn’t know what was going to happen in France today, but just knew that the monsters are real, and she flung her art out against them, a star into the night.
I can’t think of the babies. I have to stop myself. I’m not going to watch the news tonight, or listen to stories. But I am going to pray. And I am going to create. I’m going to write. And I’m going to hold the beauty in my heart, along with the pain. Let this be my prayer for anyone who reads this: Lord, let them see the beauty, too. Let them be it.

Hands down best invention our busy family has discovered. I love that I can pop something in there and it’s ready in 15-20 minutes and I didn’t have to turn on my oven to do it! I’ll admit I was scared at first but this appliance now permanently sits on our counter and gets so much use!!
How did I live without one?!
As a busy working mom I can’t quite describe how amazing it is to know that even when I forget to take meat out of the deep freeze or haven’t made a plan for dinner I can still put together something tasty and healthy on the fly!
Ever since we got this for Christmas we use it almost every night so easy to use might need to learn a few lingo but there are so many resources out there and so many recipes I’m excited to try! Food comes out so soft juicy delicious and in a short amount of time! I love that you don’t even need to defrost your frozen meats chicken etc. it is definitely for families that only have an hour 1/2 a day to prepare meals my only regret was I wish I got an 8 qt so I could pack for lunch the next day other than that we can’t live without our instant pot best investment ever!!!
I own 2 instant pots. I can't say enough good things about this item. I use one at least 5 days a week. I love that I can cook a pork rump roast in 3 hours! I can do refried beans in 2 hours! Taco Tuesday is so quick and made from scratch!
I work full time and never remember to take out something for dinner to defrost, but this thing makes that ok! Chicken breast, perfectly cooked, in half an hour from solid frozen. Baked beans in under an hour and a half. Ground beef cooked from a frozen lump. You can cook pretty much anything with this thing. Just remember that cook time actually starts when the machine comes to pressure so account for that in your timing (for example, the frozen chicken breasts cook for 20-25 minutes and take about 5 minutes to come to pressure). Read the manual and dont be afraid of this machine.
SO many time i have forgot to get something out for dinner, we have 20 min in till hockey and 10 min to feed the kids?!
put a whole frozen chicken in with cut up veggies, 1 cup of chicken broth.
done in 15 min! taste like I've been in the kitchen all day!
Why didn't I have this 5 years ago!
Love love love the instant pot. I can't rave about it enough. It's a quick cook but what I love the most is the clean up. I cooked a frozen roast in under 45 minutes. Made baked potatoe soup in 10 minutes. Tonight I made a meatloaf and mashed potatoes in 25 minutes! I highly recommend the Instant pot!
I purchased my Instant Pot before Christmas, I have to admit because everyone else was doing it, and I love it.
One warning: if you use the sauté function to heat up the pot first, turn it off when adding liquid first to the pot. The broth I added instantly boiled (I know, I know) and splattered on my eyelid burning it. It wasn't bad but had my eye been open,I don't want to think of the results.
This little baby changed my life!! I bought this on black Friday and since then I have been in love. I can cook a full meal in 20 minutes from frozen meat. I make homemade soup in 25 minutes. The soup tastes like it was on the stove for hours. It is unreal. I make mashed potatoes in 7 minutes. I hardly use my stove anymore. Best investment ever.

Dakota Layers is proud to produce your traditional white eggs. Our main priorities are the care of our hens as well as the safety and quality of our eggs. Advancements in hen housing as well as efficiencies in feed, water and manure management have allowed us to significantly reduce our environmental footprint. Everything we do, from choosing a blend of nutrients to feed our hens to designing barns to house them, is centered around creating healthy, safe food for you and your family.
Our hens live in a temperature controlled environment with access to clean water and feed at all times. Keeping our hens indoors allows us to monitor their health as well as keep them protected from predators and disease. Each house is equipped with an advanced belt system that is programmed to not only bring food to our hens, but also collects the eggs for processing and carries away the manure to our compost facility. The manure is then dried and placed back onto local farm fields.
After our eggs enter the processing facility, they are washed, sanitized, candled, graded and onto be packed. Amazingly, a human never touches these eggs until they are placed into their carton! Talk about Fresh – When Freshness Matters to you and your family, Rosemary Farm is the right choice!
Experience how our eggs get from our farm to your table. Click and drag your mouse to get a 360° view of our hens’ homes and processing/packaging facility.
We are proud to be UEP Certified. What does that mean? Check it out!

Smog situation expected to improve Tuesday thanks to the change in weather.
The state has not informed people about the current smog situation as it should have done, Environment Minister Lászlo Sólymos (Most-Híd) said on January 30. In view of this, the Environment Ministry is preparing several measures to improve the situation in the future.
Certain Slovak towns and villages have been struggling with smog recently. The Slovak Hydrometeorological Office (SHMÚ) has issued a number of alerts and warnings due to excessive levels of particles in the air. The warnings are still valid for Bystričany (Trenčín Region), Banská Bystrica, Martin, Ružomberok (both Žilina Region), Košice and Žilina.
Sólymos believes that the problem concerns mainly the circulation of information regarding the smog situation in Slovakia, which has been insufficient. He stressed that all people in the country have the right to know about the air quality in their area.
In future the minister would like to set up the system in a way that will allow the people concerned to receive better warning.
Sólymos ascribes the ongoing bad smog situation in Slovakia to heating in homes. He said that he does not want to order anyone to do anything, but he called on people not to use a fuel that pollutes the air.
Moreover a new environmental strategy that, among other things, is set to improve air quality should be concluded by the end of this year. It should provide an effective guideline on how to keep pollution under control. In addition, the strategy might include emission requirements for certain home heating boilers that are being placed on the Slovak market as well as state support for replacing unsuitable boilers.
Ladislav Čáracký from SHMÚ reported that smog limits have been exceeded recently mainly due to poor dispersal conditions and severe frost. Local heating, traffic, industry and winter gritting have also contributed towards a deteriorating situation, added Čáracký.
“The positive thing is that the situation is likely to change over the course of Tuesday,” he said, noting that wind and the expected snowfall should improve dispersal conditions.

The key is the way you digest the material. The very first thing you’re going to get to master in algebra is the notion of a variable. Both types of problems are a breeze to check if you’re provided a solution already.
Now let’s step a small bit further in the probability and chat about Joint Probability. So the above well-known formula can be rewritten dependent on that which we have already learned. Thankfully the solution is No!
At the moment, humans have not built any reverse-engineering machine that may perform such approach. The collapse of the planet at the most suitable moment was almost like it were planned. There aren’t any definite answers.
Applied mathematics, on the flip side, comprises calculations and equations done for different branches of science like physics and engineering as a way to fix certain problems. The predicate calculus is extremely full of expressive power. The mathematics core has to be successfully completed.

Although our brain’s visual refresh rate is all about 60hz (a tremendous oversimplification), there are a number of intriguing things that may be accomplished with a greater refresh rate. You may have a look at the patent here yourself. It is repeated until a certain information criterion is met.
In some instances, it’s just one, but there are systems that work with various images being selected in a particular order so it can authenticate the user. The normal procedure to invent and manufacturing the drugs is a complex practice. Don’t worry, you wish to obtain a high level idea that you ought to have the ability to explain.
There’s also no outside assistance from a live person on the best way to teach the material. Studying something which you enjoy is an excellent method to introduce new thoughts and collaborations into the field also. A lot of work was done in the decision of the nineteenth century.
Because play is the perfect approach to learn. The better part of the graphs we’re likely to be dealing with are somewhat more complex. The content of the program is extremely straight forward and will give you a goodoverview on the discipline.
An important point which every undergrad student should note here is to attempt to keep up a great academic profile because it is often regarded as an essential criteria to shortlist students for their master’s programs. A good comprehension of math is necessary for every computer scientist, and the math requirement is beginning to become more diverse. The appendix of the textbook also includes a review of the required theory.
The end result is that lots of developers may have difficulty finding the very best technique for their problem. There’s an extensive collection of possible approaches here. If it is a continuous scenario, the area is represented employing the integral as above.
After all, one has to be creative to compose a program that solves a creative job. 3rd semester By the conclusion of first calendar year, you would have certainly completed a simple programming class.

Last week’s FSA’s platform paper settled a few issues – the distinction of their classification as an administration service and issues with regard to pricing, disclosure and re-registration.
However, there are still some key areas affecting advisers that need greater clarity, particularly with regards to the role of platforms as nominees and corporate actions within funds.
At the moment, fund platforms such as Cofunds and FundsNetwork, have a lot of paperwork on their hands dealing with the myriad and frequent corporate actions taken by the thousands of portfolios on their respective services.
With the difficult market conditions of recent times, the number of corporate actions, which include fund name changes, closures and mergers, has been on the rise. This led to more than 2,000 such events last year, according to the platforms. And it is not getting any better. According to FundsNetwork, in the past three months alone on the funds within its service, there have been 27 fund name changes, 44 objective changes, 61 other alterations to portfolio mandates such as those affecting charges and valuation points, plus nine fund closures, three mergers and 47 launches or provider changes.
Companies have always had to contact shareholders in such events but platforms have been increasingly taking on this role even though, as it currently stands, there is no requirement for them to do so. This is not a free, generous service platforms are undertaking – many levy an additional charge to companies for the service.
The inclusion of notifications in last week’s paper now makes nominee holders – including platforms, stockbrokers, Isa and Sipp providers – more responsible for contacting the end-investor. The FSA admits, it will not be without cost. But who will ultimately end up with the paperwork burden, how more “timely” communication can be enacted, the form of standardisation and at what cost are all issues that will to need to be resolved.
Under the proposals, nominees, now classified by the FSA as intermediate unitholders, must ensure investors receive the same information as they would if they had invested directly. These proposals extend to facilitating the exercising of voting rights.
The regulator has said these notifications must be made within a reasonable timescale, with the suggestion it should be the same as if the investor bought direct, in which case, for less consequential events, investors can be notified even after a change has taken place but when there are significant changes they must be given 60 days notice and then there are alterations which require a unitholder vote. In this case, intermediate unitholders will need to strengthen how they handle this area.
Which is why the regulator feels more action needs to be taken – that and a forthcoming European law may force the very changes the FSA is proposing.
The securities law directive is due for implementation in 2012 and it is expected to require all nominee companies either to pass on or facilitate the exercising of voting rights.
For one, there will be the cost of having the appropriate systems and controls in place either to exercise voting rights at the instruction of clients or to facilitate those rights.
Apparently, just sending an email redirecting investors to where the information is located will not be enough. The FSA will allow for email communication instead of postal notification and where the intermediate unitholder does not have the end-investor’s information, an adviser can be notified instead.
Gary Shaughnessy, managing director UK retail at Fidelity, said he does not anticipate the planned changes in this area will necessarily equate into higher charges but he does feel greater clarity is needed, such as who ultimately should be notified.
Fidelity has said it is talking with the FSA now to see if it is acceptable for advisers to act as a proxy with regard to voting rights. Their proposal is not to shove the workload over to the adviser but would, in fact, see the adviser take action on behalf of clients, leaving it up to them to decide what communication or vote is necessary.
Shaughnessy says the number of individual holdings across funds has risen in recent years, as have the sheer number of funds and the amount of corporate actions being taken which require notification or votes, He agrees that engagement of investors is important but he says that many have advisers and are likely to be happy for them to act on their behalf instead of being bombarded with reams of paper. Another area addressed in the platform paper that has been overwhelmed by the pricing issues has been the task involving re-registration. The FSA has said this will be a must for platforms and other nominee holders by the end of 2012 but how it will be handled and the cost have yet to be ironed out. For instance, some companies may allow re-reg by the deadline but only manually, which will impose costs on counterparties.
Overall, the proposals contained in the FSA paper look sure to at least bring a more transparent regime to the platform world. Differentials in pricing between providers present on the various platforms will be clear to everyone and even though those commercial arrangements may have had little or no impact on an adviser’s choice, transparency is no bad thing.
Shaughnessy believes the greater disclosure requirements will create a natural competitive tension that will be beneficial to the industry as a whole as it will improve the focus on quality and service.

In the history of PB, both the original comic and Mayhem Unloaded, I have gotten comments about people mistaking the two sports, of Airsoft and Paintball. I'd like to simply clear up that they are not the same thing. Yes it is correct that both sports are about shooting the opponent with your little non lethal projectile. However in their gameplay, and strategy they are much different, and most of all they are extremely different in gear.
If you were to relate the two sports to something, it'd be this.
Paintball=Laser Tag. Your weapon variety is very very limited. There are a few paintball pistols, but they have very small clips, and can be very inaccurate. But in paint-ball you rarely need a side arm. There are also snipers, but those are few and inbetween, and require specialized ammo just to use. Paintball is the easier sport, it's more straight forward. You run and gun. There are official rules for this sport.
Airsoft= Non Lethal Warfare. Airsoft has a variety of weapons at you exposal, all different, and requiring you to learn your weapon in order to use it effectively. Unlike Paintball with it's limited variety of weapons. Airsoft has snipers, assault rifles, machine pistols, pistols, grenade launchers, shotguns, ect. Unlike Paintball, which doesn't have full auto, you have to play to you weapon's strengths and weaknesses if you hope to win a game of airsoft. A shotgun can take on an assault rifle if you can sneak up on them, but if you're an idiot, and rush them head on like one might in paint-ball, you'll be dead before you can even take a second shot.
Airsoft also does not have a set of official rules. It has various leagues, and varies from area to area. This leaves their rules very interpretable. Which is why in Mayhem Unloaded, they have Ink Knives, a melee weapon that replaces real knives. If you create a rule for melee weapons, it is viable in airsoft.
Basically, do not assume just because you played Paintball, you know how Airsoft is played. And please keep in mind, it's PLASTIC BULLETS, not PAINT bullets. This isn't a paintball comic.
Also I'd like to say, Paintball is a fun sport. It is just not the same sport.

The 2013 12 Apostles Mountain Bike Classic has been rescheduled to 2014.
This decision came about after unforeseen delays and conflicting events, which were both outside of organiser’s control. However, this presented the opportunity to instead focus on making the 2014 event significant and in line with key tourism objectives.
All currently registered riders will be issued a refund.
Further information regarding the 2014 event will soon be announced.
We are proud to announce that the 2012 12 Apostles Mountain Bike Classic documentary will make its television premiere on SBS Cycling Central.
The program will air on Sunday March 17th at 5pm on SBS One. Be sure to spread the word to all those who were involved and to all those with whom you would like the share the 12 Apostles MTB experience with.
And don’t forget to tune in.
Enduro Magazine wrote an exclusive article on the 12 Apostles Mountain Bike Classic, highlighting the success of the event and the amazing scenic views of the region. Click here to download.
Well done to Shirley Teo, Kay Haarsma and Peter Farmer who won individual awards for their efforts during the 3 day event.
Shirley Teo was awarded for her tough spirit and determination on stage 4 from Princetown to Port Campbell. Shirley managed to finish the stage, despite event staff offering her to hop in the event vehicle for a lift to the finish line. She refused to give up and crossed the finish line with riders and spectators cheering her on.
Kay Haarsma become a staff favourite due to her enthusim and willingness to participate in the event. She attended all the presentations and event festivities, even though she deserved a good night sleep. Kay finished third in the female Masters Category.
Peter Farmer was a solid performer at the 12 Apostles Mountain Bike Classic, consistently finishing in the top bunch of the Masters riders, which was a massive effort considering the competition. Peter improved his result each day, showing no sign of slowing down.
Stage 1 ends in sprint finish.
Adrian Jackson has won Stage one of the 12 Apostles Mountain bike classic in a sprint finish with Peter Kutchera and Jack Haig in a smashing time of 1:02:11.
The town sprint was full of action and a little big of team tactics saw Jack Haig take the full time bonus and move into the Opens mens lead. In a surprise Peter Kutchera crashed out in race one and did not progress to receive any time bonus's. In the final Jack Jaig had to come from behind Michael Fitch and Adrian Jackson with Billy Sewell on his wheel in the final straight. The Womens was a tight final with Peta Mullens just a bit too strong in the sprint taking the big time bonus over Bec Henderson with Katherine O'shea and Emily Parkes in 4th.
Stage 3 has been won by Scott Chancellor in an impressive break from a group of 10 chasing riders. With one climb to go Scott made his move and managed some how to hold off a bunch of 10 riders as they raced 1.5kms of open gravel road. Scott has always been a bold rider and started this stage on the attack but was bought back by the bunch at the 6km mark. One of the talking points of this fast 40min stage was Adrian Jackson who mid pack had his front wheel cleaned up by a local black wallabie who had decided it was time to cross the road. As soon as the riders had seen the wallabie come from the side Adrian was surfing the road on his chest with bike nowhere to be seen. It was a gallant effort by Adrian to get back into the bunch and then win the sprint for a 2nd place.
The race has been defined by Jack Haig! In the 4th stage over 60kms in length and including some tough climbing Jack has blown the field apart and gained near 6min time gap over Adrian Jackson with Peter Kutchera a further 4 mins back. Jack tested the boys on the road climb up the Great Ocean Road from Gellibrand river just 17kms in. In his post race interview he said he felt there that he was feeling better so with 25kms to go when they hit another climb he pushed harder again and got the break. It was an impressive ride by Jack and now leaves Adrian and Peter with alot of work to do if they are going to have any chance of victory in the event.
Its all Jack Haig and Peta Mullens at the 12 Apostles MTB classic as the events final stage is won in style!
Jack once again was too strong for his competition breaking away on the undulating course with 15kms to go. Neither Adrian or Peter at anything in the tank to go with him and rode to defend their 2nd and 3rd overall placing. An admirable mention must go to Mark Fenner who was on the attack early and held on to finish 4th in a sprint finish.
Peta Mullens had a great ride finishing just outside the top 20 overall. Behind her though an early crash saw Bec Henderson retire from the race which then opened up the battle for 2nd place overall between Katherine O'Shea and Melissa Anset. The in form Melissa used the hills to hear advantage and got away to a lean which she worked hard to hold all day as Katherine pushed to keep her in site. In the end Melissa's ride got her 2nd for the stage and moved her into 2nd overall for the race. What a fine finish to this amazing event.

Baahubali (Bahubali), SS Rajamouli’s epic film, remained undeterred at the ticket counters in India and abroad despite the stiff competition posed by Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dhanush’s Maari. Though the collection dropped in the second week, the steady collection is making sure that the movie can post a gargantuan total as the lifetime collection.
The Hindi version of the movie has garnered 67.15 crores in just 12 days and probably it will hit 85-90 crores once the juggernaut stops. The collection from the Hindi version is not showing any kind of drop even in the weekdays and due to that it’s heading towards the mammoth total. As per the box office reports, the worldwide collection of the movie has already crossed 375 crores in 12 days and at the end of third weekend, it should cross 400 crores as the Telugu version is breaking records every day. In terms of distributor’s share, the film has already become the 3rd biggest film after PK and Dhoom 3 in the history of Indian cinema and it might replace Dhoom 3 from the second position by the end of third week or in the fourth weekend. As PK was released in more markets, it will enjoy the numero uno position. The content, cinematography, acting, and direction are just fantabulous in Bahubali, so if it’s released in more markets like Aamir’s PK, it can easily replace PK from number one position. Let’s wait and watch if the makers of the movie decide to release it in some more markets.

I regularly see patients who have experienced an ocular migraine. The patient is often unsure about what happened to their vision and think that they may have had a retinal detachment.
Ocular migraines start with an aura which can cause a wide variety of symptoms that lasts less than one hour, and sometimes followed by a headache. Most often the aura will last less than 15mins.
No one is sure exactly what causes them, but doctors speculate that the aura could be caused by spasms in the retinal blood vessels. There is usually some sort of trigger for these types of migraines. Some examples of triggers include: caffeine, certain foods, or bright lights.
The diagnosis of ocular migraines is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that your doctor will need to rule out any other cause of your visual symptoms. If it is your first time having an ocular migraine it is best to visit our office so that we can dilate your eyes and check for a retinal detachment, stoke, or other potential causes.
