Are demolition, scaffolding, and steeplejacking the same?
These three different areas of construction and maintenance might seem pretty different from each other, but they all actually have things in common. They are all exciting, dramatic, and so very far from your average office job.
Careers in demolition, scaffolding and steeplejacks are like the extreme sports of the construction and maintenance world. In these careers, you could be scaling great heights, knocking down buildings, abseiling or creating explosions. Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?
Sometimes buildings or structures no longer serve a purpose. They may have become derelict and unused, thus taking up valuable space. Alternatively, they may have become structurally unsound, posing a danger to people.
What do you do if you’re in demolition?
This is when careers in demolition come out swinging. People who work in this area are tasked with tearing down buildings and other structures.
However, these careers are not just about swinging a wrecking ball around, or blowing stuff up willy-nilly. They’re also not about fighting crime in a futuristic world, as the 1993 Sylvester Stallone film, Demolition Man, would have you believe. These jobs are highly-skilled, highly-dangerous and require specially-trained, reliable people whose primary concern is safety.
What do you do if you’re in scaffolding?
Scaffolding is all about providing a safe temporary structure for construction and maintenance workers, so that they can work on elevated parts of buildings and other structures. Scaffolding in most countries is comprised of metal pipes and tubes (unless you work in China, where bamboo is still often used).
To work in this area, you are going to need a strong head for heights, as you might be working right at the top of some very high buildings. Scaffolding can be another dangerous job and so safety is of paramount importance.
What do you do if you’re a steeplejack?
Steeplejacks scale tall buildings, chimneys, towers and church steeples in order to carry out essential maintenance work. These guys use ladders, ropes and equipment akin to that of rock climbers, to get up to the top of cooling towers, bridges, and clock towers etc.
They carry out masonry repairs, do some painting or carpentry, clean windows, or use sandblasting techniques to clean the stone or brickwork.
These guys certainly enjoy good views; and consequently, they also need a good head for heights. Evidently, this is highly-dangerous stuff; and not only do people need to be skilled in construction and maintenance techniques, but also in technical rope work and steeplejack safety.
What are the branches of the demolition sector?
Non-explosive methods include the use of wrecking balls and hydraulic equipment.
Implosion uses a series of controlled explosions to make a building quickly implode and sink into its own footprint. It can be very quick and effective; however, it can be a dangerous technique, as complications can occur as a result of tiny mistakes or changes in weather. This may cause damage to nearby buildings or even kill unsuspecting onlookers. Consequently, it is treated as a last resort.
Deconstruction is a much newer technique, which is a slower but more environmentally friendly process. Buildings are gradually deconstructed using specialist machinery, so that the materials can be recycled for use in other structures.
What are the required skills for a career in demolition, scaffolding or steeplejacking?
Demolition careers do not only involve active destruction; they also require people to carry out meticulous planning, implement safety policies and communicate with external parties to obtain necessary permits.
Similarly, careers in scaffolding and steeplejacks are not all about monkeying around and climbing up high buildings. They require planning, consideration of safety regulations and specialist skills.
For instance, people who work in scaffolding may need a strong understanding of mathematical and geometrical concepts when planning the construction of specific scaffolding structures.
Likewise, steeplejacks need to plan their activities carefully and have the ability to assess structural stability. Furthermore, these guys need to develop expert knowledge of using specialist apparatus, such as bosun’s chairs, suspended access cradles and abseiling equipment.
In every demolition, scaffolding and steeplejack career, extra specialist training is required. However, no specific academic qualifications are necessary, and many people begin their careers in these areas through on-the-job training and apprenticeships.
Fancy getting into a career in which you can literally shake the foundations of buildings or, alternatively, be on top of the world? If so check out job listings in demolition, scaffolding and steeplejacks.

Somehow the production coordinator found a site that showed the location of the homoscides in New Orleans in the last 6 months. There was a staggering number of dots, but a there seemed to be a pattern - the dots were gravitating towards my Hotel. Cool. I arrived the night before the show (I was cost sharing and even the marginal hotels weren't cheap) so I spent most of my days in the show. Thankfully it was my second Siggraph so I wasn't so overwhelmed by the show that I missed the city.
The show itself was, as expected, amazing. Sony showed off their GS Cube (they had a shot from the Final Fantasy movie rendered in realtime on it). The company that did "Bullet time" for the Matrix showed off their many camera rig. The papers were amazing - inspiring - a kick in the pants.
My first trip into the city was to see the above ground cemetary. As usual, I missed the details - the cemetary "closes" at 5pm and I wen after the day's conference so it had already closed. The old homes really caught my eye though - I walked good distance back to the hotel just to get a sense of this place.
On futher days I explored more of the French Quarter and the area around my hotel. I visited Cafe Du Monde - one of the local coffee shots and it just about killed me - the food was so fattening. Love it.
A lot of the area is old (in the Vancouver sense, not the Europe sense). There are places you can drink outside (as long as your drink isn't in glass). They had these fish all over the place - they had been painted by local artists and were to be auctioned later. I've since seen this model replicated - Toronto had a moose project (in most cases, way too corporate), Vancouver had an Orca project (some cool - just too few of them in the city) and New York had something really bland that wasn't even worth remembering.
Night got exciting. The conference and most of the conference accomodation was within walking distance to the French Quarter. Perhaps the best marketing I've ever seen done - NVidia (who at the time had ripped the brains out of SGI and was starting to feed on 3DFx) sponsored Burbon street. Show your pass and you got free drinks - just that simple.
Apparently the city had to put on extra police for the week because there were so many "I live in the lab" geeks with expensive looking digital toys who weren't accustomed to a slightly dodgy street environement. The city ate them alive.
Overall, a very cool (and distinctly not what I thought of as American) city.

I HAVE A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION, HOW WILL IT AFFECT MY PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
Pre-existing condition may allow the injured party to recover if mental or physical condition got worse. The negligent party must take the injured party where they find him/her–the condition at the time of the accident. Thus, it is imperative that previous injuries and related medical records on the same body part or near the area must be disclosed so that the credibility and overall value of the present claim will not be adversely affected. There will be a comparison to be made on the old injury as against the present one to verify how the accident worsened the condition of the injured party.

For many couples, the last thing that comes to mind when setting up home together is what will happen if it all goes wrong. The excitement and promise of the future means that many people never think about the consequences of separation.
Whilst this is perfectly natural, living together without thinking about ownership of property can create problems down the line if a house or flat does need to be divided.
What rights do married couples have with respect to the property they live in?
People who choose to get married enjoy a significant degree of protection regarding their property rights.
During the course of a marriage, a spouse who does not own the matrimonial home can ensure that it is not sold or transferred without their consent by registering their matrimonial home rights with the Land Registry. This allows a spouse to protect his or her interest even if it was the other partner who bought the property. The same applies to long-term lease arrangements.
After a marriage ends, there is a comprehensive regime governing what happens to property. Judges have a wide range of powers to ensure that a fair settlement is reached for both parties. The core principle is equal division, subject to considerations such as the length of the marriage, whether a pre-nuptial agreement was signed and the position of any children of the marriage. Courts will always try to reach a judgment that is fair to both parties, regardless of who the breadwinner was or who contributed most in financial terms.
It is a common myth that couples that live together for a long period of time have the same rights as married partners. A survey in 2004 revealed that 61% of unmarried cohabitees believed they were effectively married in the eyes of property law. This is despite the reality being very different.
Couples who are unmarried have no automatic entitlement to financial support from each other when they separate. Nor can they register home rights to prevent their partner from selling the house without having an interest in the property in their own right. The fact of their long-term cohabitation is irrelevant.
Although other rights can be given with a little planning, when it comes to property, to assert any kind of rights in law, unmarried partners must turn to the complex, technical law of trusts. It is to this area, rather than the more personal, user-friendly family law context, that claimants must go to obtain protection when the relationship comes to an end.
Who owns what in a trust?
The law of trusts offers protection to cohabitees by seeking to protect the intention of the parties when financial arrangements were made. If cohabiting couples expressly state how they wish the beneficial interests in their property to be divided, this will always be binding. Therefore, couples can simply and effectively control what happens in the event of separation by recording their wishes in writing at any time in a separation agreement.
Whenever property is purchased, solicitors and agents will try to ensure that unmarried partners address how it is owned.
But usually, the last thing new cohabitants want to do is lay down rules about who owns what when they first move in. The plain fact is that the vast majority of unmarried cohabitees fail to mention beneficial interests and the result is uncertainty when one partner moves out.
When there is no express declaration concerning beneficial interests, the courts will try to infer what intentions the parties had. This exercise is different depending on whether the property is registered in joint names or one partner’s sole name.
Where the parties purchase a house in joint names, the law presumes that they intended to hold the property equally. This means that a court will start from the view that each partner is to be awarded 50% of the value of the property in the event of separation.
In cases where the parties keep their finances rigidly separate, for example, the courts are likely to find that they intended their interests to reflect how much money they had each contributed to the property. This would be different to situations where couples share money and have much closer financial dealings, in which case a court would be more likely to find that they intended the property to be split evenly. Unmarried couples should keep separate bank accounts, and contribute to a joint account from which the bills and expenses are paid.
As a result, parties can walk away with 50% of the value of their home despite contributing significantly less money to the purchase price or the mortgage repayments. The law in this sense has created a common law spouse by presuming that the parties wanted similar consequences to marriage. It is worth noting, however, that there is the potential for spouses to combat this presumption, unlike the situation with marriage. One way to set out ownership shares is to create a "tenancy in common". You may be interested in reading our article on co-ownership of property that covers this subject.
Where property is registered in the name of only one partner, the presumption is reversed. In these cases it is presumed that the partner who registered the property owns 100% of its value. The burden is then on the other cohabitee to show that they intended to hold the property equally or in different terms.
This can be unfair on partners who choose to move into each other’s houses without giving any thought to ownership. In these cases a person can make a considerable contribution to the relationship (and the mortgage through informal 'rent' payments) and still have to prove that he or she should be entitled to a small share of the property.
Once again, the most sensible course of action in these situations is for couples to expressly state what they would like their rights to be. Our tenants in common agreement achieves this.
The chances of legislative action have been hindered by political reluctance to equate the status of cohabitation to that of marriage. A few years ago, the Law Commission proposed a scheme whereby cohabitees would have to opt-out of a statutory regime providing partners with financial rights in the event of separation. No further action has been taken by Parliament and there does not appear to be any major reform on the horizon.
Cohabiting couples, unlike married couples, have no automatic rights to financial support on separation.
Couples can specify what they would like their rights to be when they buy property, or by recording their wishes in writing at any time. What can be covered is extensive.
Where no express declaration is made, the position will depend on whether property is registered in joint names or one sole name.
If the property is registered in joint names, there is a presumption that the parties intended equal ownership, which must be rebutted by evidence to the contrary.
If the property is only registered in one partner’s name, the presumption is that the parties intended for he or she to own the property outright. This can only be displaced with evidence.

Loa provided a brief review of the need to establish an IETF design team to consider what work might be required to pursue development of T-MPLS within the IETF. It was noted that this design team was intended to carry out preparatory work for the IETF, and was separate from any future group of ITU and IETF participants which might collaborate on design work.
It was decided that the IAB should send a request for participation to the IESG, the ietf@ietf.org list and appropriate IETF working group lists. Loa to draft text.
It was agreed unanimously to appoint Monique Morrow to the role of IETF liaison to ITU-NGN. Dave Oran to follow up with Monique on specific details of the duties and role of an IETF liaison manager..
Various possible topics for presentation at the Technical Plenary in Vancouver were discussed. Further review of the proposals received is necessary. No decision was reached.
Dave Oran alerted the theIAB to ongoing discussions with the SIP Forum for them to host a bar-BoF activity at the next IETF meeting to engage the community in discussion of how to improve interoperability among SIP implementations. The BoF will likely take the form of a lunchtime workshop where people will be able to present ideas and proposals for where interoperability needs to be improved, and how.
The IAB entered executive session to discuss the IETF’s appointee to the ICANN NomCom.

GOOD INNINGS: At 15, Maxie has managed to outlast many of her canine compatriots, but there is grave concern that illness may soon claim her.
FAREWELL: Maxie Anderson died on October 28 at the age of 15 years.
Alston, CA, Nov 23 – Siroccan Labrador Maxie Anderson has died aged 15.
The news was released around an hour and a half ago that Anderson died peacefully in Tuesday Heights, Alston, on Labour Day at around 2:45pm Sirocco time.
As noted in a statement released by the office of the Premier, Anderson passed at the intersection of Tomas Street and Tuesday Avenue after battling illness for some months.
She is reported to have been severely ill for three days prior to her death, and was unable to move for most of this time.
Witnesses report she had a “second wind” shortly before her death, as she was seen resting in the grass of the suburb’s Line Park.
She was laid to rest that afternoon with full honours in the Tent Pegs National Cemetery.
Premier Daniel Anderson was not available to media, with the statement reading that he had only learnt of her death upon his arrival in Alston this afternoon, and was mourning in private.
The news was kept from the Premier until this afternoon as her death coincided with university exams and preparations for the move back to Alston.
He visited her grave a short time ago and appeared composed despite the sombre atmosphere that has fallen on the capital.
Flags have today been lowered to half-mast, with a week’s mourning scheduled for the coming week.
A formal memorial will be dedicated to her in the coming days, with plans to dedicate Matauri Loop, a favourite place of hers, in her honour.
The ministries she was to have led will instead be transferred to her close friend and fellow minister, Scooter Anderson.
Born in New Zealand in 1998, little of her personal life prior to her arrival in Alston in 2001, other than she had one puppy sometime around 1999-2000.
She was a notable presence in Sirocco, guarding the capital through its Maran, Peebles, and GDR phases into the modern Siroccan state.
Anderson was awarded the Order of the Commonwealth earlier this year as a result of her long service in the defence of the Siroccan capital and for her work in the national customs service.

To date, there are over 1,500 studies proving coconut oil to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Coconut oil benefits and uses go beyond what most people realize, as coconut oil — made copra or dried coconut flesh — is a true superfood. Top 20 Health Benefits of Coconut Oil!
Around 62 percent of the oils in coconut are made up of these three healthy fatty acids, and 91 percent of the fat in coconut oil is healthy saturated fat. This fat composition makes it one of the most beneficial fats on the planet, as the USDA nutrient database shows.
Most of the fats we consume take longer to digest, but MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a three-step process to be turned into fuel vs. other fats that have to go through a 26-step process!
Processed by the liver, which means that they’re immediately converted to energy instead of being stored as fat.
All of this shows why this oil made from coconut copra makes for a true superfood, and it’s why coconut oil benefits are so plentiful and amazing.
The digestion of MCFAs by the liver creates ketones that are readily accessible by the brain for energy. Ketones supply energy to the brain without the need of insulin to process glucose into energy.
Recent research has shown that the brain actually creates its own insulin to process glucose and power brain cells. As the brain of an Alzheimer’s patient loses the ability to create its own insulin, the ketones from coconut oil could create an alternate source of energy to help repair brain function.
Coconut oil is high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL cholesterol) in your body, but also help convert the LDL “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterols.
By increasing the HDL in the body, it helps promote heart health and lower the risk of heart disease. Coconut oil also benefits the heart by lowering high triglycerides.
Coconut oil has been known to clear up and heal urinary tract infection (UTI) and kidney infections. The MCFAs in the oil work as a natural antibiotic by disrupting the lipid coating on bacteria and killing them. Research also shows that coconut oil directly protects the liver from damage.
Coconut water also helps hydrate and support the healing process. Doctors have even injected coconut water to clear up kidney stones. Coconut is a powerful superfood, which is evident given all these tremendous coconut oil benefits.
In a study in India, the high levels of antioxidants present in virgin coconut oil (VCO) reduced inflammation and treated arthritis more effectively than leading medications.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid (monolaurin), which is known to reduce candida, fight bacteria and create a hostile environment for viruses. Many diseases today are caused by the overgrowth of bad bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites in the body.
You can replace grains and sugar in your diet with coconut oil as your natural fuel source when you’re sick. Sugar feeds the growth of bad bacteria. Instead, take one tablespoon of coconut oil three times daily when sick, and consume plenty of vegetables and bone broth as well.
In a 2004 study published in the Journal of Neurobiology of Aging, researchers found that the MCFAs in coconut oil improved the memory problems in their older subjects.
Across all the patients there was a marked improvement in their recall ability after taking this fatty acid. As the MCFAs are absorbed easily in the body and can be accessed in the brain without the use of insulin. Thus, they are able to fuel brain cells more efficiently.
Today, many triathletes use coconut oil as their source of fuel during training and races for long-distance events. You can make a homemade energy fuel by mixing coconut oil, raw honey and chia seeds together. Simply put together one tablespoon of each and consume 30 minutes prior to exercise.
Coconut also improves digestion as it helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, calcium and magnesium.
If coconut oil is taken at the same time as omega-3 fatty acids, it can make them twice as effective, as they are readily available to be digested and used by the body.
Coconut oil can help improve bacteria and gut health by destroying bad bacteria and candida. Candida imbalance especially can decrease stomach acid, which causes inflammation and poor digestion. All this together means coconut oil benefits digestive health and helps treat or prevent stomach ulcers and ulcerative colitis.
The MCFAs of coconut oil do not need the pancreatic enzymes to be broken down, so taking coconut oil eases the strain on the pancreas.
Additionally, this superfood is so easy to digest that it has been known to improve the symptoms of gallbladder disease as well. Replace other long-chain fats with coconut oil to improve gallbladder and total body health.
Oil pulling with coconut oil has been used for centuries as a way to cleanse the mouth of bacteria and help heal periodontal disease. Coconut oil is one of the most effective oils for oil pulling due to its high concentration of antibacterial MCFAs.
By swishing the oil in your mouth, the oil denatures the bacteria and sticks to it. Removing oral bacteria greatly reduces your risk of periodontal disease. If you want to heal your gums and repair your teeth, I recommend coconut oil pulling three times a week for 20 minutes a day.
Oxidative stress and free radicals are the two biggest culprits of osteoporosis. Since coconut oil has such high levels of antioxidants, which help fight free radicals, it is a leading natural treatment for osteoporosis.
Another of the amazing coconut oil benefits is that it increases calcium absorption in the gut. Research on osteoporosis has found that coconut oil not only increases bone volume and structure in subjects, but also decreased bone loss due to osteoporosis.
When cells refuse to respond to insulin and no longer take in glucose for energy, then they’re considered insulin-resistant. The pancreas then pumps out more insulin to compensate and creates an overproduction cycle. Insulin resistance is the precursor to type II diabetes.
The MCFAs in coconut oil help balance the insulin reactions in the cells and promote healthy digestive process. They take off the strain on the pancreas and give the body a consistent energy source that is not dependent on glucose reactions, which can prevent insulin resistance and type II diabetes.
Because of the energy-creating abilities of coconut oil and the fact it’s a no-carb oil, it is no wonder that it is beneficial in losing weight. It helps burn fat and calories, decrease appetite, and in studies it was especially helpful in losing belly fat.
Coconut’s ability to help you shed fat has been well-established. A 1985 study published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health proved that a single injection of capric acid resulted in “initially rapid, then gradual decrease in food consumption and a parallel loss of body weight” in male rats.
It might seem counterintuitive to assume that eating coconut oil (a fat) will contribute to fat loss, but it is actually quite logical. The key to understanding this phenomenon lays in the multidimensional ability of the MCFAs to control a variety of physiological processes.
For example, in the 1985 study mentioned above, it was discovered that capric acid shows significant improvements in thyroid function, helps lower resting heart rate and assists your body in burning fat for energy.
More recently, the Obesity Research Journal published a study from Boston University Medical School that gives us a clue why MCFAs have fat-burning ability.
Testing the effects that MFCAs have on fat breakdown, adipose (fatty) cells in rats were pretreated with caprylic acid. They observed that fat breakdown occurred at such a significant level that it literally mimicked the characteristics of fasting.
Fasting, in this sense, is not to be regarded as negative, but positive in that the body uses its energy reserves most effectively and speeds up the breakdown of needless fat reserves.
MCFAs aren’t just good for burning fat; they are also great for building muscle. The MCFAs found in coconut are also used in popular muscle-building products like Muscle Milk™.
The vast majority of heavily produced supplements, however, use processed forms of MCFAs. By eating actual coconuts instead, you get the “real deal.” I recommend adding three tablespoons of coconut oil to a muscle-building shake daily.
If you have dandruff or dry hair, coconut oil has the perfect fatty acids to help improve these conditions. In fact, there is so much coconut oil can do for hair. You can make homemade coconut lavender shampoo to improve your hair and use straight coconut oil as an all-natural hair conditioner.
To get rid of dandruff and thicken hair, massage one tablespoon of coconut oil mixed with 10 drops of rosemary essential oil into your scalp for three minutes. Then shower 30 minutes later.
A study published in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy found the capric acid and lauric acid in coconut oil made for an effective natural treatment for candida albicans and yeast infections.
To effectively kill candida and treat yeast infections, remove processed sugar and refined grains from your diet and consume plenty of healthy fats. Take one tablespoon of coconut oil three times daily as a supplement.
According to research published in the medical journal Food and Function, coconut oil improves antioxidant levels and can slow aging. Coconut oil works by reducing stress on the liver and lowering oxidative stress.
Also, researchers found that coconut oil may support detoxification because of how it works with the liver. To naturally slow aging, take one tablespoon of coconut oil with antioxidant-rich berries for breakfast. You can also apply it directly to skin for additional benefits and smoothing.
Using coconut oil benefits your hormones as well! Coconut oil may help naturally balance hormones because it’s a great source of saturated fat, including lauric acid. Studies have found that coconut oil may be an excellent fat to consume during menopause and also may have positives effects on estrogen levels.
In order to naturally balance hormones, reduce sugar and grain consumption and load up on healthy fats from coconut, avocado, flax seeds and ghee. You can also consume other coconut forms, such as coconut butter or coconut water.
I use coconut oil for all of my cooking and baking, and I often put a tablespoon of it in my morning smoothie. It’s the oil of choice, since unrefined, natural, organic coconut oil adds a nice coconut flavor but does not contain the harmful toxins other hydrogenated cooking oils do.
You can also apply it topically directly to your skin or as a carrier for essential oils or blends.
*WARNING — Refined or processed coconut oil can be bleached, overheated past the preferred melt point and chemically processed to increase its shelf life. Processing the oil changes the chemical makeup, and the fats are no longer good for you, so avoid hydrogenated oils whenever possible.
SO INSTEAD — Buy extra virgin coconut oil for the greatest coconut oil benefits. Here is the brand I personally use and recommend to my patients: Tropical Traditions Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil.
Opt for virgin, wet milled, unrefined, organic coconut oil to ensure you’re getting pure coconut oil. Refined versions, like with other foods, are not as beneficial and lose key nutrients.

Christian donors—especially wealthy Christians—are often reticent to talk about their generosity.
This is well and good. Jesus commands cheerful yet (mostly) secret giving (Matt. 6:1–4), and wealthy Christians often deal with a never-ending barrage of invitations to give.
But as someone who has worked with donors, the most meaningful part of my job was listening to their journeys of generosity. A new book, A Disruptive Generosity: Stories of Transforming Cities through Strategic Giving, tells such stories. Though I personally know only one of the “gospel patrons” highlighted, these 40 donor stories—told in 31 devotional-length chapters—felt like reading about friends and family.
Just what is a “gospel patron”? The gospel movements of history had visionary leaders: Paul, Ambrose, Calvin, Tyndale, Whitefield, Spurgeon, and Graham. Behind these leaders were gospel patrons—generous donors who fueled the work.
Author Mac Pier—founder and CEO of The New City Leadership Center—takes inspiration from John Rinehart’s 2013 book, Gospel Patrons, which focused on three historical gospel patron relationships: Humphrey Monmouth with William Tyndale; Lady Huntington with George Whitefield; and John Thornton with John Newton and William Wilberforce.
Rinehart is, I’m sure, pleased with Pier’s stories from today. He wrote Gospel Patrons “because I believe our generation’s greatest need is for history to be repeated” (19). Pier’s book shows that repetition happening.
I was chasing success. I was pursuing more boats, more game farms, more everything. Yet I could not find inner peace. At the end of 1998 I attended a Christian gathering at the Lord Charles Hotel. I had been invited dozens of times but rarely went.
I ended up going and heard Michael Cassidy, the founder of African Enterprise, and I was challenged by his message. At a second gathering two months later, Peter Pollack spoke. He was one of the great cricket heroes in South Africa. He was an amazing evangelist and invited all of us to pray the sinner’s prayer with him. Following this public commitment, I started to read the Bible daily, and two months later, while I was working through the Bible in my study, I was deeply touched. That evening, February 24, 1999, I committed my life unreservedly to Christ. I was 43 years old. My wife, Lauren, would commit her life to Christ in an Alpha course.
Power’s unreserved commitment to Christ had corporate and kingdom effects.
God began to keep Power awake at night meditating on his Word, specifically Proverbs 11:1 (“The LORD detests dishonest scales”). Power eventually cleaned up the corruption in his company, even contracting 15 other companies that had participated in “tender collusion.” He “announced that he would no longer participate” (120).
The kingdom effects of Power’s leadership and generosity have been wide-reaching. In 2000, Powers was captivated by “the vision of stadiums filled with Christians from all denominations” gathering for prayer and repentance. This led to the Global Day of Prayer (GDOP) gathering in a rugby stadium in Cape Town that year. Fifty thousand tickets were sold. Over 10 years, the GDOP movement spread throughout Africa and beyond. By 2010, “220 nations hosted the gathering (with an estimated 350 million people)” (121).
A second strength of the book is Pier’s global reach. We meet donors living in 12 different countries on six different continents. Adam Walach and his wife, in Europe, are “determined to give away 50 percent of [their] personal income” (60); Darin and Paula Owens in South Africa have seen their “giving increase from 10 percent to 92 percent of [their] income in certain years” (127); Ivan Hinrichs in North Carolina gives away “60 percent of [his] income” (151). The Schrank family in Dallas, Texas, gives to expand Bible literacy among children in Rwanda (ch. 26). The Chen family in Hong Kong gives to, among other things, help settle Ethiopian Jews in Israel (ch. 31).
I commend the book—it’s a treasure trove of stories and practical wisdom for kingdom generosity.
My only criticism is that, with few exceptions, the highlighted causes are evangelistic outreaches, mission projects, or Movement Day gatherings. He doesn’t highlight radical generosity in a local church context, whether toward a building, church-planting campaign, or—and wouldn’t this be every pastor’s dream—a radical commitment of 50 percent to 90 percent of personal income to support the weekly ministry of Word and sacraments. On this point, I was reminded of a story from Rinehart’s Gospel Patrons.
For the rest of his life, Wilberforce honored the Lord’s Day and promoted regular church attendance as part of his reformation of morals in Britain. As he wrote in his journal, “Blessed be to God for the day of rest and religious occupation wherein earthly things assume their true size.” Gospel renewal for Wilberforce began with worship and the Lord’s Day.
Local church attendance and giving aren’t as exciting as funding a big conference or city transformation, but they’re necessary for faithful living. With those cornerstones in place, these stories of people going above and beyond are exciting and inspirational. May they inspire us all to greater generosity, no matter the size of our budgets.

The student was cited for cyberbullying at Arbor View High School and then released to his parents as police continue to investigate social media threats against black students that led to the arrests of two students on Tuesday.
An Arbor View High School student was cited Wednesday for cyberbullying for his alleged involvement in racist threats made against the school that led to the arrests of two teenage boys Tuesday.
The 15-year-old student was cited at school but subsequently was released to his parents, according to Clark County School District police Sgt. Bryan Zink.
Zink said the investigation was ongoing to determine if any other students were involved.
Meanwhile, the students arrested Tuesday, ages 15 and 16, remained in custody at the county’s juvenile detention center. Their names and photos will not be released unless the Clark County district attorney’s office chooses to charge them as adults, Zink said.
They are facing charges of making terrorist threats, conspiring to commit an act of terrorism, cyberbullying, hate crimes and breach of peace, police have said.
The threats, which made references to the 1999 mass shooting at Columbine High School, were made on an Instagram account that appeared to have been created specifically for that use. They were first reported to police Monday night.
The social media account had been taken down by Wednesday morning.
The account hosted a number of similar posts, and it appeared the photos of the students were taken without their knowledge.
As a precaution, there will be an increased police presence on and around the campus, 7500 Whispering Sands Drive, through the rest of the week, Zink said.
The Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security were aiding school district police in its investigation, according to CCSD Superintendent Jesus Jara.

Growing up, I was taught that when you believe in something, you get off the fence and support it.
After getting to know Nebraska Appleseed as a volunteer, it was clear to me how important the work they do is to my community.
This is why I became a monthly sustaining donor to Nebraska Appleseed – and invite you to become one, too.
I know that Appleseed does the hard and necessary work. They tackle tough issues like immigration, poverty, and access to health care. Giving monthly makes sense to me, because I like knowing that every month, I’m doing my part. I’m not standing aside.
Join me with your monthly donation to Nebraska Appleseed.
If you’re on the fence, I invite you to go see for yourself what Nebraska Appleseed has done in your community. Volunteer, attend an event, or join them at a rally.
I did. And found an organization unlike any other in Nebraska. The work they do can’t be replaced.
You can keep the fight for justice going. Become a monthly donor today.
Together, you and I can make sure Appleseed keeps working for a better Nebraska for years to come.

Well ... It is so hard to believe Christmas is almost here!!!! Didn't we just have bikinis on and weren't we sweating our butts off in the summertime heat just the other day??
Now that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is in full effect I wanted to share with you all some of my favorite gift ideas!
I was sent these amazing Koss FitClip and FitBuds to test out as part of a FitFluential campaign .... I LOVE them! The best part is they are super affordable and functional! They cost about $19.99 ( on sale at some retail stores during the holiday season ) - $29.99. I have gone through so many pair of earbuds this past year and was currently using my 9 yr old sons angry birds pair but not anymore thanks to Koss! I love that they are designed specifically for women and have 3 different size earbud inserts with each set! I am loving the FitClips for running because I like the secure feeling but for indoor workouts and treadmill running I have been wearing the FitBuds!
These also will make the perfect stocking stuffer....So slim and sleek!
Don't mind super speedy David in the background drinking a beer post race!! I love how these Fitbuds fit nice and snug in my ears and did not blow out during the race! So make sure you check KOSS out.
Another gift I know your favorite runner girl would love is ANY Oiselle item! I am completely passionate about products I find and love and Oiselle is one of them. I currently have a huge wish list going!! I really wish more stores closer to me carried their products! I know for sure Philadelphia Runner on 202 by Wholefoods carries their line!
I love the Schwings for running shoes and who remembers days of the week undies as a little girl?? Now you can have some Rundies to motivate you on your run! And that hoodie ... MUST HAVE!
As you all know I am also a Mizuno For Life girl and you can never go wrong with them... It just so happens they have had some brilliant shoes released in the beginning of December and I am currently having a love affair with my Wave Rider 17's!
They also offer some pretty fun colors too!
Wave Rider 17 and 16's !!
Mizuno also has there Breath Themo line which is great for cold weather running and offered for his or hers!
I am also in love with Alex and Ani ... There is a store on Main Street in Newark! There are so many special bracelets and you can find the perfect one for that special someone! I got my friend this one because she has come so far with her running and is going to do the Hot Chocolate 15K in April!
I LOVE the shoe with wings!
This also reminds me of Oiselle!
I WANT THIS ONE! It's Not A Sprint It's A Marathon!!!
Here is Nana's wreath the boys and I made last week! She loved it. It was truly so simple to make and barely cost $6!!
I am also a fan of Gift Cards ... I know some people do not like to receive gift cards but I think they are great especially if they are to Starbucks or my favorite running store ( Delaware Running Company )!!!
SO these are a few of my favorite things but honestly I am just grateful to spend the holidays with my family and friends! Being with family and remembering the true meaning of Christmas is what it is all about!
Merry Christmas and Happy Running!
I like the shoe fit and I have worn New Balance WW847 for several years. I was dissatisfied in the quality of this WW847. The facing/binding on top of the instep, is not finished properly. It has raw/raveled sides. I returned one pair of the same version with this grievance and received another pair with the very same problem. None of my previous pair of various New Balance styles have actually had this trouble - the top quality was fine with my various other New Balance styles. I even have to ask yourself if this set were "seconds"?

On this date in 1911 Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss proposes that each team in the World Series be required to turn over one fourth of its shares of the gate to the league to be divided among the other teams. Until now ten percent went to baseball, 60 percent to the players, and the rest to the two pennant winning clubs.
Paul in writing to the Church at Colosse, reminds them that they share in the inheritance of the saints. Paul is grateful that the Colossians can share in salvation. He is thankful that God has delivered them from the dominion of darkness and brought them into the kingdom of light where there is redemption and the forgiveness of sins. There can be no better sharing than to share eternal life!
1. How can you show gratitude to God for salvation?
2. What does it mean to you to share in the “kingdom of light”?
3. How does God expect us to live in light of His Kingdom?
God has given us the greatest of all gifts in salvation….He expects us to witness to its power by the way we live and what we say!!

After weighing up 2016, 2017 is the year to scale.
It’s been said that 2016 hasn’t been the best of years. Memes abound of this being the year we’ll want to forget or the year that will now be the answer to most pub quiz questions. For me, it was supposed to be the year of ‘push’; the passing of various people, the results of some public votes and the uncovering of certain truths have pushed us all. Nothing quite knocks you like the Brexit result. ON. YOUR. BIRTHDAY.
Small moments, victories and highlights have kept me going. When our #GirlsinSTEM event trended on Twitter in January. When I spoke in front of an audience of 15,000 at Salesforce World Tour. Recording this MAKERS video and this one. My keynotes in cities around the world. TV appearances (including a feature on Mary Portas’ What Britain Buys) as well as on BBC News at 10. Six weddings – one of which I was Maid of Honour. Being on a couple of digital billboards around the UK. And being the voice of an exhibit at the Science Museum’s new permanent Mathematics Gallery in London was cool too.
My vocals are on the ATM exhibit at the Science Museum’s new Mathematics Gallery in London. You have 25 years to go and see it.
Choosing the word “Push” for 2016, I wanted to push myself for my team, my health and to my limits. It’s fair to say I’ve clung to that and done myself proud. The team has grown and are in a very good place; I did a 4 month gym stint which turned into eating healthily after I got back from lots of travelling; I’ve definitely lived outside my comfort zone on a lot of things (e.g. politics). Charting my progress has been made easier by social media and listicles (e.g. Evening Standard, Computer Weekly, Cosmopolitan and Business Cloud) but also by communicating well with my team and key stakeholders in our network.
Stemettes turns 4 in February, which in some circles means that we’re no longer a ‘startup’. Everything so far has been a test for real company life – building a team, providing our services, internal processes, templates and tools – with learning along the way. Organically, we’ve reached just under 15,000 young women across a wide geography with the help of partners and networks. Now, it’s time to scale up.
This is a question we’ve been asked by all manner of people since the early days of Stemettes. Along with the (now answered) question of ‘Why don’t you have an app?’ – it’s been one that has played on my mind quite a lot. We run free, fun, food-filled events in a Stemettes way and that is our USP. Having others run our sessions hasn’t resulted in good experiences – quality assurance has been the main concern. But small fragments of ideas and happenings have paved a way. We’ve known that we’ve wanted to run ‘Stemettes school clubs’ for a while. We’ve known that particularly passionate young women turn evangelical after attending our events. One girl did an Assembly on her experience, set up a WhatsApp group & started organising trips to STEM events listed in our app, without any prompting.
One morning in Canary Wharf, I was in a mentoring session and it clicked. We had been planning a model for financial forecasting and I mentioned that our real focus is to maximise impact versus spend, rather than income or anything else. An hour’s worth of activity run by the team has a value, as does an hour run by a young woman who has been to a Stemettes event. We needed to leverage more of our alumni, volunteer and team network to maximise and scale impact. Some offerings (like a school club or documentary) are easy for others to do, some are more complex, but we had a model to go by.
That has spurred on a strategy which encompasses the creation of Stemillions (school clubs run by young women for young people) and also screenings for our Outbox documentary. In the new year I’ll also be releasing a guide for anyone to do talks in schools & colleges the Stemette way (inspired by John Stepper’s Working Out Loud presentation guide).
As we become a ‘real company’, we have a proper set of definitions and strategies for scaling. I’m excited.
Scaling means that we’re aiming to reach 2 million young women by 2025. We have a definition for ‘reach’ which works even if the team aren’t doing the work directly. We have a big hairy goal that we are working towards, which makes sense and is countable. For any effort expended, we have a way of quantifying which works alongside our internal measures for impact. This is going to make understanding scale a lot easier for us, partners and volunteers.
Scaling means properly empowering others to work alongside us. We’ve been so used to running events ourselves that we take for granted aspects of our process and the formats we use. Travelling so much has made us realise the value in what we do and also working out ways to ‘bottle’ parts of it for others to leverage. Young women will be able to run clubs; Volunteers will be able to do their bit and anyone will be able to carry the Stemettes message forward – especially after they’ve seen our Eat.Sleep.STEM.Repeat documentary. (Let me know if you’d like to host a screening).
Scaling means automating what we can and batching what we can’t. The team won’t grow much bigger than it is now, nor will it grow in the same way it has so far. We’re reaching more people with the same resource and so need to clear the plates of those in the team to make way for more strategic, scalable work. Part of bottling what we do, means that our processes will be written down and outsourced to bots. It’s been a mini-obsession recently: exploring IFTTT vs Zapier, Automation in Mailchimp and Workflows in Salesforce. We have an entire Trello board of project workflows, automation blog posts and dreams.
I’m an optimist and someone who has only been alive for less than 3 decades so I’ve survived by clinging to my feeling that things will eventually be OK, even if they aren’t now.
Here’s to a wonderful 2017 for you and for me.
Go on, push me. It’s 2016.
Look forward to hosting a screening of the new documentary Eat. Sleep. STEM. Repeat. at Sheffield Hallam University in 2017! Will pass the info on to our student led Women in IT group.
Exciting news! Thanks Sue. We’re looking forward to having you all join the Outbox Journey!
Well done once again for your MBE, really pleased for you and we at the Ursuline feel really privileged to have been part of your STEM journey. Looking forward to the GirlsinStem event next month.

The Book-to-Market effect is probably one of the oldest effects which has been investigated in financial markets. It compares book value of company to price of the stock - inverse of P/B ratio. The bigger the book-to-market ratio is, the more fundamentally cheap is the investigated company. Book-to-Market wasn‘t even considered as a market anomaly at the beginning of the century when Ben Graham famously popularized its use. The ratio lost some of it popularity when the Efficient Market Theory and CAPM became main Wall Street theories, but it gained back its position after several studies have shown the rationality of using it. This anomaly is well-described in the classical Fama and French research paper (1993). Additional details are calculated from data which are presented in Kenneth French data library (http://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/ken.french/data_library.html). Pure value effect portfolios are created as long stocks with the highest Book-to-Market ratio and short stocks with the lowest Book-to-Market ratio. However, this pure value effect has substantial drawdowns with more than 50% drawdown in the 1930s. Value factor is still a strong performance contributor in long only portfolios (formed as long stocks with highest Book-to-Market ratio without shorting stocks with low Book-to-Market ratios).
One explanation is that investors overreact to growth aspects for growth stocks, and value stocks are therefore undervalued. According to some academics, the ratio of market value to book value itself is a risk measure, and therefore the larger returns generated by low MV/BV stocks are simply a compensation for risk. Low MV/BV stocks are often those in some financial distress.
The investment universe contains the top 20% biggest companies (based on market capitalization) on NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ. Quintile portfolios are then formed based on the Book-to-Market ratio and the highest quintile is held for one year (portfolio is weighted based on market cap.) after which the portfolio is rebalanced.
No - Long only value stocks logically can't be used as a hedge against market drops as a lot of strategy's performance comes from equity market premium (as investor holds equities therefore his correlation to broad equity market is very very high). Now, evidence for using long-short value factor portfolio as a hedge against equity market is very mixed. Firstly, there are a lot of definitions of value factor (from a simple standard P/B ratios to various more complex definitions) and performance of different value factors really differ in times of stress. Also, there are multiple research papers in a tone of work of Cakici and Tan : "Size, Value, and Momentum in Developed Country Equity Returns: Macroeconomic and Liquidity Exposures" that link value factor premium to liquidity and growth risk and show that the implication is that value returns can be low prior to periods of low global economic growth and bad liquidity.
Value strategies appear to provide an extra source of return. Academic literature provides two competing theories on what drives the value premium: exposure to risk factors or mispricing of the securities. Existing empirical studies have not conclusively rejected one in support of the other. Using Fama and MacBeth (1973) regressions and extensions of the portfolio tests based on Daniel and Titman (1997), we provide evidence that the book-to-market characteristic largely subsumes the loading on the value factor (HML) as a variable that explains the cross-section of stock returns. We improve the power of these tests by using daily data for estimating factor loadings and by using data from 23 developed countries going back more than 30 years. Given these results, we conclude mispricing is likely a more significant portion of the value premium. There appears to be a free lunch after all.
Damodaran: Value Investing: Investing for Grown Ups?
Value investors generally characterize themselves as the grown ups in the investment world, unswayed by perceptions or momentum, and driven by fundamentals. While this may be true, at least in the abstract, there are at least three distinct strands of value investing. The first, passive value investing, is built around screening for stocks that meet specific characteristics - low multiples of earnings or book value, high returns on projects and low risk - and can be traced back to Ben Graham’s books on security analysis. The second, contrarian investing, requires investing in companies that are down on their luck and in the market. The third, activist value investing, involves taking large positions in poorly managed and low valued companies and making money from turning them around. While value investing looks impressive on paper, the performance of value investors, as a whole, is no better than that of less “sensible” investors who chose other investment philosophies and strategies. We examine explanations for why "active" value investing may not provide the promised payoffs.
This white paper examines the performance of several value investing strategies based on various quantitative value measures of stocks in the Japanese stock market. These strategies significantly outperformed the aggregate stock market in the period from January 1975 to December 2011. In addition, they generated promising profits in the long-term bear market in the 1990-2011 period when the stock market dropped 62.21%.
The paper investigates value and momentum factors in 23 developed international stock markets. We find that typically value and momentum premia are smaller and more negatively correlated for large market capitalization stocks relative to small. Momentum factors are more highly correlated internationally relative to value. We provide international evidence on three sets of risk exposures of value and momentum returns: macroeconomic risk, funding liquidity risk, and stock market liquidity risk. We find that value returns are typically lower prior to a recession while momentum returns often exhibit little sensitivity. Value returns are typically lower in times of poor funding liquidity, whereas, with notable exceptions, momentum returns are typically unaffected. Lastly, for almost all countries, value returns are high in poor stock market liquidity conditions. The same result appears to be true for momentum in Asia Pacific, North America, and largely in Europe.
Over the past two decades, financial academics and investment professionals have documented several anomalies on the global financial markets. A subset of these anomalies, known as equity style strategies, has been shown to yield substantial excess returns, which cannot be explained by traditional finance theory. However, in the light of the financial turmoil during the 2000s, several studies have shown considerable changes in the magnitude of the style-based strategy premiums. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether recent data support the continued existence of these premiums and evaluate how these premiums fluctuate in relation to the economic cycle. Furthermore, this thesis provides practical advice on how investors can apply the findings.
The active shares of traditional value style indices are dominated by industry bets. They also capture less than the entire value premium because, weighting constituents on the basis of capitalization, they tend to hold large positions in overpriced stocks and small positions in underpriced (i.e., value) stocks. Smart beta strategies, in comparison, are better diversified, and they systematically buy low and sell high by periodically rebalancing to non-price related target weights. In addition to exploiting mean reversion in prices, smart beta strategies profit from mean reversion in the value premium by effectively implementing a dollar cost averaging program.
- Strategies based on book-to-price (B/P) and earnings-to-price (E/P) ratios delivered a positive premium over the 60-year horizon from 1951 to 2013.
- E/P had higher return and lower risk than B/P over the full horizon.
- However, B/P outperformed E/P between 1963 and 1990, and that was the basis of the landmark study establishing B/P as the academic standard.
- Strategies based on a blend of B/P and E/P outperformed both single-metric strategies during most 10-year periods between 1973 and 2013.
- Over the same horizon, optimized value strategies had lower tracking error, lower turnover, and a higher information ratio than “rank-and-chop” strategies, which weight high-percentile value stocks by capitalization.
- Sector constraints raised both the Sharpe ratio and the information ratio of an optimized blended-value strategy.
I use sports betting markets as a laboratory to test behavioral theories of cross-sectional asset pricing anomalies. Two unique features of these markets provide a distinguishing test of behavioral theories: 1) the bets are completely idiosyncratic and therefore not confounded by rational theories; 2) the contracts have a known and short termination date where uncertainty is resolved that allows any mispricing to be detected. Analyzing more than a hundred thousand contracts spanning two decades across four major professional sports (NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL), I find momentum and value effects that move betting prices from the open to the close of betting, that are then completely reversed by the game outcome. These findings are consistent with delayed overreaction theories of asset pricing. In addition, a novel implication of overreaction uncovered in sports betting markets is shown to also predict momentum and value returns in financial markets. Finally, momentum and value effects in betting markets appear smaller than in financial markets and are not large enough to overcome trading costs, limiting the ability to arbitrage them away.
Value strategies exhibit a large positive beta if contemporaneous market excess returns are positive, and a small beta if contemporaneous market excess returns are negative. Value also has a large positive beta after bear markets, but a small beta after bull markets. These facts hold for equity-value strategies in 21 countries, and to a lesser extent for three non-equity-value strategies. Betas conditional on contemporaneous market returns are able to capture expected return variation associated with the book-to-market ratio. These betas partially explain the value premium, and are related to a larger cash-flow risk of value strategies.
The term ‘value investing’ is increasingly being adopted by quantitative investment strategies that use ratios of simple fundamental metrics (e.g., book value, earnings) to market price. A hallmark of such strategies is that they do not involve a good faith effort to determine the intrinsic value of the underlying securities. We document two facts about such strategies. First, we see little compelling evidence that such strategies deliver superior investment performance for U.S. equities. Second, instead of identifying undervalued securities, these strategies typically identify firms with temporarily inflated accounting numbers. We argue that these strategies should not be confused with value strategies that are based on a good faith effort to determine the intrinsic value of the underlying securities.
Zhou: Can Cash-Flow Beta Explain the Value Premium?

Sometimes it takes a year or more for a president's strengths to come into focus. In Donald Trump's case, it is now clear that he excels whenever he bestows upon us the honor of his absence.
As Senator John McCain battles cancer at his home in Arizona he has sent word that President Trump will not be welcome at his funeral. Mike Pence is O.K., but not the man who said McCain wasn't much of a hero because he allowed himself to be captured by enemy soldiers during the Vietnam War.
So, when a grateful nation says goodbye to McCain at Washington's National Cathedral, Trump will no doubt make some excuse about why he can't attend. He'll probably be off playing golf, as he was in April during services for the beloved former First Lady Barbara Bush. Trump said via Twitter that he did not want the security measures required for his presence to be disruptive.
That's an odd concern, considering the fact that no family in American history has spent more time dealing with the Secret Service than the Bushes. Besides, Mrs. Bush's funeral was attended by Presidents Clinton, Obama, Bush 41 and Bush 43, as well as the properly dignified and nondisruptive Melania Trump.
Lame excuses notwithstanding, Trump plays the RSVP card masterfully.
A few weeks ago he declined to attend the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, preferring to hide out at a rally in Michigan while comic Michelle Wolf unleashed a barrage of anti-Trump jokes. Some found Wolf's act to be unsavory including, presumably, the White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, who was stuck taking Trump's place on the dais.
The president knew exactly what he was doing by staying away and playing the victim.
Trump artfully decided against throwing out the first pitch when the Washington Nationals held their home opener on April 5th. Every president since Taft has thrown out a ceremonial first pitch for at least one baseball game - except Trump.
His absence even forced the Nationals to cancel the traditional military flyover because the president's impending travel in the opposite direction made the area restricted airspace. Small price to pay to avoid a chorus of boos.
Last December, Trump skipped the Kennedy Center Honors after some honorees and performers threatened a boycott. Sarah Sanders explained that Trump was afraid of causing a "political distraction."
As Trump discovers that his poll numbers actually inch up the more he stays out of sight, there's no limit to what he might accomplish. A major test will come this fall in the midterm elections.
Will Trump campaign for Republicans in tightly-contested states such as Nevada, Arizona and Florida? What if he shows up and spends all his time ranting about Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller and Fake News?
Trump's best chance to help the GOP and himself would be to skip all campaign events, citing concern about disruptions and distractions. Then, he might want to skip the World Series, the annual White House Christmas party and, by next January, he might even consider boycotting his own State of the Union speech.
Trump is like T.S. Elliot's Macavity: he's broken every human law; he breaks the law of gravity. You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air, but when you reach the scene of crime, Macavity's not there!

Typhoid fever is a bacterial diseases caused due Salmonella typhi. There were many cases globally during the early 20th century. It was eradicated later on due to improved knowledge about the disease thereby improved sanitation and treatment. It is still persistent in developed countries but with a very fewer cases. It still persists in developing and under developed countries due to lack of awareness, poor hygienic conditions and poor sanitation. Below explained regarding symptoms of Typhoid Fever.
Typhoid fever causing bacterium is transmitted to a healthy individual by the ingestion of food and drinking of water which is contaminated with the faces of an infected individual which contains the bacterium Transmission even occurs due to vectors like flies which land on the feces and on food we eat.
A decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells and blood platelets is observed in blood count.
When untreated, typhoid fever persists for three weeks to a month. Death occurs in 10% to 30% of untreated cases.

Keeping the status quo is the path of least resistance but law firms need to look beyond the current conditions to make plans for the future of law.
The need for law firm innovation is more important than ever as research points out a segment of law firms are largely responsible for the overall growth in the market.
The LawTalks panel discussion during Aderant’s annual Momentum Conference is always one of the most anticipated sessions.
More than 20 big thinkers in the legal tech and business of law community share their predictions, forecasts, and perhaps, aspirations, for 2018 (Part 2 of 2).

A report was released by the American Institute for Cancer Research along with the World Cancer Fund, which identified that excess weight could raise a person’s risk of developing stomach cancer. Alcohol and processed meat consumption – including ham, and hot dogs – are also thought to increase cancer risk.
The review also concluded that in the U.S., about one out of every seven cases of stomach cancer could have been prevented. These preventative measures include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding processed meats, and not drinking more than three alcoholic beverages each day.
These findings were published in Health Day News on April 20, 2016.
