A cataract is a clouding or opacity of the naturally, clear, crystalline lens of the eye which most commonly occurs as a consequence of the aging process and also exposure to ultra-violet light. Cataracts can also occur in younger patients. Cataracts can also be a consequence of other diseases, particularly diabetes and some medications, especially steroids. By the age of 70 most patients have some degree of cataract formation which may or may not be symptomatic and require treatment. Cataracts are the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide.
Cataracts are removed by a highly sophisticated micro-surgical operation called phacoemulsification in which the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). These come in the form of standard or mono-focal lenses for patients without astigmatism and toric IOL’s for patients with astigmatism (which are the majority of the patients on each operating list). Also available are tri-focal intraocular lenses which are available for selective patients which means that patients do not need glasses for any tasks following successful surgery.
The results of cataract surgery are unbelievably excellent and the procedure is recognised as both the most common and most successful operation performed worldwide.
Refractive lens exchange is an operation in which the crystalline lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens to correct a refractive error such as hypermetropia, myopia, astigmatism or a combination thereof. The procedure is performed as a micro-surgical one in an operating theatre and involves removal of the natural crystalline lens by a procedure known as phacoemulsification and its replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The IOL can be either a mono-focal lens to correct patients without astigmatism or a toric intraocular lens to correct patients with astigmatism. Tri-focal lenses are used for selected patients who wish to be independent of glasses altogether.
Glaucoma is often called the “sneak thief of sight” because it can occur without the patient becoming symptomatic. Glaucoma most commonly occurs in the older age group but can occur in younger patients as well. It is diagnosed and managed with a variety of tests such as intraocular pressure measurement, observation of the optic disc, pachymetry (measurement of the central corneal thickness), assessment of the Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer thickness and ganglion cell layer with the OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and computerised visual field analysis.
The usual treatment for glaucoma is eye drops of which there are many on the market. For certain patients there is a laser treatment known as Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty which can be offered at Dr. Forster’s Wesley rooms and is highly effective in lowering the intraocular pressure (which is the aim of glaucoma management). A recent innovation in the management of glaucoma is the introduction of the revolutionary iStent which is generally performed in association with cataract surgery although can be done as a stand alone procedure and, in many cases, results in the patients being less dependent on their eye drops or, in some cases, able to manage without any drops at all.
Although the majority of patients can be treated using the above methods, some patients are predisposed to angle closure glaucoma, particularly patients of Asian descent. This type of glaucoma can be prevented by a simple laser procedure known as Laser Peripheral Iridotomy which is also available at Dr. Forster’s Wesley rooms.
A pterygium is a wedge-shaped growth of thickened tissue extending from the white of the eye (sclera) on to the cornea and is usually due to exposure to ultraviolet light. A pterygium needs to be removed if it has grown across the cornea to a degree where it has caused astigmatism (irregularity of the cornea), if vision has been impaired or for cosmetic reasons.
In order to treat a pterygium it is removed via micro-surgery in a day surgery under local anaesthesia and an auto-conjunctival transplant is sutured in its place. The auto- conjunctival transplant involves transplanting some conjunctival tissue (the surface layer over the white of the eye) from underneath the upper eyelid to cover the area that the pterygium has been removed from. The transplant is performed in order to result in good cosmesis (how the eye looks after surgery) and to ensure virtually no recurrence of the pterygium.
Patients can expect a return to full vision after the surgery. Full recovery to health takes four to eight weeks during which time patients will require daily drops.
Macular degeneration usually occurs in the older age group when the macula becomes damaged due to its deterioration or break down. When the normal function of the macula is disrupted the centre of the field of vision is affected. Macular degeneration can affect both near and distance vision. There are basically two sorts of macular degeneration, the more common is what is known as dry macular degeneration for which there is no treatment apart from preventative dietary treatment. For the wet form of macular degeneration, which can be detected clinically or with the OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography), intra-vitreal injections have now been introduced and are spectacularly successful in treating this form of macular degeneration.
other omega rich foods two or three times a week, particularly oily fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines, and eat a handful of nuts twice a week.
Patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus may develop diabetic retinopathy which is the most common cause of visual impairment in diabetes. It occurs when the network of blood vessels nourishing the retina becomes damaged, a process than can result in varying degrees of visual impairment and sometimes blindness, but diabetic retinopathy can be present without any disturbance of vision at all. Furthermore, it is well known that half the diabetics in Australia have not had their eyes checked.
Diabetic retinopathy can either be background or non-proliferative retinopathy or proliferative retinopathy which is a more serious condition. Diabetic retinopathy can result in damaged blood vessels leaking into the surrounding retina resulting in retinal oedema (serous fluid), retinal haemorrhages (blood), and retinal exudates (fat) or in the more serious proliferative retinopathy retinal vessels may wither away or become blocked and abnormal new vessels may grow to replace them which may bleed in the retina and vitreous (jelly of the eye) causing loss of vision. It is important that all patients with diabetes are checked regularly, preferably annually. This is done with a clinical examination of the vision and the back of the eye, and now there is the OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) which is invaluable in detecting evidence of diabetic macular oedema. Some patients may need further investigation such as Fluorescein Angiography.
When diabetic retinopathy is detected and there is a prospect of interfering with the vision it can be treated by laser, intra-vitreal injections or intra-vitreal implants, all of which have proved successful in preventing loss of vision.

Forget Reality, Feast on Sport..
The latter part of last week brought the ‘marmite’ topic of the Brexit bill sanctioned by the High Court. As expected it flew through the Commons with an overwhelming majority, but you can’t help but feel the longer it takes to just get done, the harder businesses and the UK economy will find it. Market researcher Ipsos Mori found 58% of respondents (of which 114 were from FTSE 500 companies) said their firms had suffered since last June’s exit vote. Further down the food chain, a survey by the British Chambers of Commerce has found more than half of small and medium-sized firms say they will increase their prices this year due to the weak pound.
Across the pond, corporate America had its annual endorsement fest with Super Bowl LI (51) last night as it left forgot about Trump’s administration to gorge on sport, taking its sweet time in the process. I managed to stay awake until the start of the 3rd quarter but couldn’t keep my eyes open much more. Long gone are my university days of watching NFL games until 3am because there is nothing else to do.
After doing a bit of digging, it appears that Super Bowl adverts only cost measly $5million this year and with over 100 million viewers, that’s still a bargain according to Forbes. Business Insider pieced together a few tweets and social media posts from fans inside the stadium, sharing the prices of food and drink at the game. A round of beers for you and 3 friends – $44.
We normally stick to vehicle finance and asset finance. Although, next year if anyone is going over for the once in a lifetime show, we’ll give the vendors a ring and help finance some food and drink for you!

Hi. I’m Sharene. I’m a Jesus-lover, a wife of 20+ years, a mom of 3 young kids, a student of life, and a worn-out, messed-up, working-like-crazy-to-figure-things-out person. I don’t wear much make-up, and I’ve bought about 2 cans of hairspray in my entire life. Right now I’ve got a few months left of earning an M.A. in English, too. It’s wild around my house.
If you’re a “proper” Christian, this blog may offend you. I apologize in advance. Although I’m afraid to, I publicly admit my pain, my struggles, and my anger. It’s pretty embarrassing. I say things “good” Christians often hide. After spending most of my life failing miserably at fitting into the stereotypical Christian mold, I’ve decided accept the risk of just being me.
On the other hand, if you find God in your crazy life, and you do as the Bible says and BOAST in your weaknesses (2 Cor. 12:9), maybe this blog is one with which you can relate. At any rate, thanks for visiting this site.

Derek Jeter had to skip the All-Star Game last year at Citi Field because he was recovering from left ankle surgery. He may get back to the Midsummer Classic this year at Target Field in Minneapolis.
The first American League All-Start voting results were released Tuesday, and there was the Captain in his usual spot leading all shortstops in the balloting. Jeter had 602,525 votes in taking the lead at his position over the White Sox’ Alexei Ramirez, who had 472,537.
Jeter’s total was the third highest overall in the Al voting behind only outfielders Mike Trout (764,007) of the Angels and Jose Bautista (675,290) of the Blue Jays. The third outfielder in the balloting was the Yankees’ Jacoby Ellsbury with 417,452. Right behind him was teammate Carlos Beltran, currently on the disabled list, with 401,101.
No other Yankees player is leading at his position, but Brian McCann is the runner-up at catcher behind the Orioles’ Matt Wieters. Alfonso Soriano ranks fourth among designated hitters, Mark Teixeira fifth among first baseman and Brett Gardner 11th among outfielders.
Jeter, a 13-time All-Star playing in his final season, entered play Tuesday night batting .273 with one home run and 10 RBIs. Ramirez has the stronger numbers at .320, seven homers and 36 RBI.
DJ is going to need the support of Yankees fans to maintain his lead, but as the standing ovations he has received throughout the major leagues on his farewell tour attests he may get plenty of support outside New York as well.

Kyoto has several Michelin awarded restaurants serving Kaseki cuisine, a meal (usually lunch or dinner) that has a set of dishes that are very elaborate and exquisite.
Kaiseki ryori (懐石料理) is traditional Japanese multi-course haute cuisine. Its origins are found many centuries ago in the simple meals served at the tea ceremony, but later it evolved into an elaborate dining style popular among aristocratic circles. Today, kaiseki is served in specialized restaurants or can be enjoyed by staying at a ryokan (Japanese style inn).
Kaiseki meals have a prescribed order to their dishes, most of which are prepared by using one of the common techniques of Japanese cooking. However, kaiseki chefs have considerable freedom to add, omit or substitute courses in order to highlight regional and seasonal delicacies and personal style.
Originally, kaiseki comprised a bowl of miso soup and three side dishes; this is now instead the standard form of Japanese-style cuisine generally, referred to as a セット (setto, “set”). Kaiseki has since evolved to include an appetizer, sashimi, a simmered dish, a grilled dish, and a steamed course, in addition to other dishes at the discretion of the chef.
Yakimono (焼物): (1) flame-grilled food (esp. fish); (2) earthenware, pottery, china.
We chose to experience kaiseki at Kikunoi Honten because it was recommended by my cousin, and it was the cheapest of all the three-star restaurants. Lunch prices are also usually cheaper than dinner, if you’re concerned about budgeting your trip. At Kikunoi, kaiseki cuisine starts at ¥8,000 for lunch and ¥15,000 for dinner.
Kikunoi has a different menu every month, to reflect the current season. In our case, it was spring and that was evident throughout our meal through the use of flowers. Each course was brought out individually, in a timely manner.
We started off with a light, hot green tea drink. I also had ginger ale, while my sister had wine.
Then we had hassun and sakizuke, which was an assortment of appetizers, for our first course: tai (red sea bream) sushi wrapped in bamboo leaves; anago eel rolled with gourd strip; pickled myoga ginger; tai roe terrine; taro and fermented soybeans; pickled greenling fry; edamame (green soybean); pickled tai meat and milt.
Next was mukozuke, a sashimi dish: sashimi of seared bonito and tai (red sea bream), vinegared yellow Chinese chive, iris-petal udo stalk and carrot, wasabi, ponzu jelly.
The third course was futamono, a lidded, substantial, hearty dish: tea-steamed tilefish, fresh green tea leaves, tea soba noodles, egg, coltsfoot, yuzu.
Fourth course was su-zakana, a cold dish to refresh our palates: gelée of mountain yam, shiso flowers, wasabi jelly.
For the fifth course, we had shiizakana, a substantial hot pot dish: hotpot of sansho pepper, tai, bamboo shoot, warabi fern heads, udo stalk, rapini, fried tofu, mugwort wheat gluten, egg yolk emulsified with vinegar.
The sixth course was gohan (cooked rice with seasonal ingredients), ko no mono (seasonal home-pickled vegetables), and tome-wan (soup served with rice and the pickled vegetables): grilled tai rice with kinome herb and sesame seeds; bamboo shoot pickled with sansho pepper, cucumber in rice bran; new cabbage soup new potato, black pepper.
We were super full when we were halfway through our rice! But we still had to make room for the last course!
Last course was mizumono, desserts: milk ice cream, strawberry, strawberry sauce.
We also had kusa mochi, a sweet and chewy rice cake with mugwort, and filled with red bean paste.
Kikunoi is a family-owned restaurant/hotel business that has lived for 3 generations. The owner/chef’s daughter was our host. She kindly greeted us at the beginning of our kaiseki experience, and gladly posed for a photo when we left Kikunoi!
My sister and I had a memorable experience at Kikunoi! This was also our most expensive meal to date as the bill came down to ~¥10,600 per person (~$85 USD).
I highly recommend experiencing kaiseki in Kyoto at least once in your lifetime! For Kikunoi, reservations must be made in at least 3 months in advance (by phone only; they do not take online reservations).

In 2003 InSystems decided to undertake a Meta listing campaign for the third time. The first time was with an outside vendor that delivered absolutely no results in the search engines. Our second attempt was to try it in-house. We bought meta listing specific software and went to work. This project took up huge amounts of people resources and was so complicated with all of the different criteria that we eventually gave up.
Needless to say, when we contacted 3Ring Studios, we were not expecting much. We selected 5 key words on a trial bases to meta list for our new site. I can tell you that we were blown away with the results. Of the 5 keyword phrases, 4 were in the top 5 of a Google search with most of them at number one, and they were all within the top ten. We look forward to indexing some more key word phrases with 3Ring Studios in 2004.

Nature | Invasion of the Giant Pythons Preview Predatory pythons have thrived in the protected wilderness of Everglades National Park.
Florida’s Everglades National Park is one of America’s last great wildlife refuges, home to unique and endangered animals and plants, as well as untold number of iconic alligators. However, the park has also become a dumping ground for nonnative species. There are possibly tens of thousands of Burmese pythons now living in the Everglades, some of which were intentionally released by pet owners, and others were unintentionally set free by storms when hurricanes hit Florida’s animal warehouses. The Everglades are similar to their native Asian habitat, and the predatory snakes have moved in to their new home with a vengeance. They are thriving in the protected wilderness the park offers, disrupting its delicate ecosystem in the process. Naturefollows scientists and snake hunters as they study the problem and try to find solutions to the growing crisis. Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham narrates.
The film takes viewers on a “snake patrol” set up to hunt down and capture members of the growing army of pythons. Audiences also meet scientists who are learning everything they can about the Everglades pythons, working on strategies to protect the park, its native residents, and surrounding habitats from the snakes. A python can grow to 250 pounds and stretch over 23 feet, making it powerful enough to strangle and eat an entire alligator. But they will eat almost any animal out there, no matter how big or small, from rodents to adult deer, bobcats, birds, and other snakes. Native species are hard pressed to compete. And a special effort is being made to keep pythons from reaching areas with endangered species.
To help in the fight against the invasive constrictors, and in an effort to curtail illegal release of pets in the wild in general, Miami Metro Zoo hosts a Pet Amnesty Day to collect and place unwanted exotic species in new homes. It may seem a small measure against such daunting task, but it gets the word out. Only time will tell what the future of pythons in the Everglades will be. Will they become the next top tourist attraction? The alligators may need to start watching their backs.
Visit Nature Online (pbs.org/nature) to watch previous programs and get updates about the series. Viewers can sound off about issues explored on Nature, take polls, and share animal photos with the Nature community.

Too many veteran programs concentrate on sad stories, personal tragedies and breathtaking heroism. The vast majority of veterans fall somewhere in between. The challenge they all face during transition is in finding new purpose, because in the military they had it. The goal for all of us should be to help them discover and attain a new, equally satisfying purpose in the private sector.
This excellent and emotional video (8 min) describes the Wyakin program through the eyes of three wounded veterans. Anyone who reads this blog knows that I support this foundation because it empowers wounded and injured veterans by identifying a path for each veteran to follow to achieve professional and personal success outside of the military.
In short, it provides purpose.

Using advanced genome sequencing technologies, researchers have uncovered the mechanism by which white fat cells from humans get reprogrammed to turn browner, thereby helping to burn fat.
Browning of white adipose tissue increases the energy consumption of the body and, therefore, constitutes a potential strategy for future treatment of obesity.
“We stimulated browning in human white adipocytes by a drug used to treat type II diabetes and compared white and “brite” (brown-in-white) fat cells,” said lead researcher Susanne Mandrup from the University of Southern Denmark.
“This showed that “brite” fat cells have distinct gene programmes which, when active, make these cells particularly energy-consuming,” Mandrup added.
The researchers also discovered the protein required for the reprogramming process.
“By identifying the areas of the genome that are directly involved in the reprogramming, we have also identified an important factor in the process – the gene regulatory protein KLF11 (Kruppel Like Factor-11), which is found in all fat cells, and we have shown that it is required for the reprogramming to take place,” Mandrup said.
It has taken the researchers four years to discover the mechanism.
“This knowledge potentially means, that in the future we can target drugs to activate the genomic regions and browning factors like KLF11 in the treatment of obesity,” said first author of the study Anne Loft from the University of Southern Denmark.
The study appeared in the journal Genes & Development.

Firearms instructors in Laconia, NH have various levels of expertise, training, experience, and many specialize in particular shooting disciplines such as; revolvers only, automatics only, a combination of both types of handguns, rifles, shotguns, hunting, precision shooting, long-distance shooting, and the list goes on. In addition to a firearm instructors training, experience, and shooting discipline that they teach it is important to find out if they also are currently certified, and who was the certification organization or agency, do they have references they can provide, how many students have they taught in the past, and are they insured?
Remember, you're asking this individual to not only teach you about the proper use of a firearm and firearm safety, but also many of the laws in Laconia, NH that will pertain to your gun ownership. You have every right to investigate them thoroughly. Any firearms instructor that is not willing to answer all of your questions or to invite you to their facility so you can observe a training class is an instructor that I would not recommend and I would be very leery of.

Laconia NH – With all the news about violent home invasion robberies you would think that all homes would have a self-defense plan in place, yet so few do and as such these types of crimes are on the rise.
Two men were on the loose after police said they were involved in an armed home invasion in Laconia. Authorities said the men, armed with what appeared to be a pistol, ransacked an Elm Street apartment and assaulted three people inside. The thieves made off with some cash and electronics.

When the ice comes to Downtown Greenville, it welcomes in a time of year when people are looking to create new holiday memories and spend precious moments with family and friends. For the third season, this concept was developed to elicit a nostalgic feeling and encourage locals and visitors to create a new tradition on the ice. The look and feel juxtaposes modern type and icons with a hint of vintage in color and texture.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Family and friends come together, the familiar sound of holiday cheer fills the air, and Downtown Greenville welcomes back its third annual holiday tradition with United Community Bank Ice on Main.
Coming in on the ground floor the bank's marketing department provided the opportunity to help develop the bank's identity. Part of this development included creating a corporate color palette, which consists of the bank's primary blue and gray as well as a secondary/supportive palette of warm grays. Each line of business also has their own signature color that is implemented in subtle ways throughout print and interactive media for easy identification.
Additionally, we created a series of holiday cards to send to the bank's supporters at the end of the year. In addition to the client-focused cards, a special holiday card was designed for the teammates themselves. This card featured a holiday ornament that could be popped out from the front of the card. Each card in the series used bold graphics, which created contrast between the corporate blue and metallic pop. A series of unique and engaging holiday cards were designed for teammates to send to their clients.

Holiday cards specific to wealth clients were created using the same bold graphics to form connections and emulate strings of lights–with the "C" of the logo representing the lights.
Using imagery provided by photographer Brian Kelley, a cover was developed that invites intrigue and mystery. As part of his "Light and Shadow" series, the image is both emotional and thought provoking. The merge of the clean asterisk and textural background reflects ways in which the writers find inspiration—in the old and new, the literal and the figurative.
The writer's mark, the asterisk, is incorporated throughout the book from noting the end of a piece to part of the awards icons.
This modern book, whose origin is in the Charles Spurgeon quote “I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages," uses geometric shapes to represent the many forms that life can take. These shapes build from back to front to create an undulating, semi-wave like pattern.
Taking a less literal approach, the cover for Orange Jumpsuit addresses the idea of being bound and set free in a simple illustration of a birdcage. The juxtaposition of the birdcage and title allow for added interest from the viewer.

Real money gambling apps for smartphones and tablets seem to be gaining traction, and that’s a nice boon to veteran gamblers like myself. Before the Internet, I had to travel if I wanted to participate in any legitimate gambling. With the advancement of mobile technology, app development has now reached the betting industry, and I can literally use my mobile devices for just about any type of gambling I’m in the mood for.
Android – this is the open source mobile platform developed by Google, featuring a long list of supported devices. We cover Android associated gambling in our guide on Android gambling apps.
Windows – this is Microsoft’s mobile operating system, and the latest version as of this writing is Windows 8. This section of our guide focuses on Windows gambling apps, which will be optimized to be played on Windows mobile smartphones and tablets.
BlackBerry – the latest Blackberry OS is BlackBerry 10, and we have created a portion of our guide specifically targeted at BlackBerry gambling apps.
For playing real money games, you will need information on brands which offer one of a few different options, including gambling apps for real money and/or online gambling sites which are optimized for mobile devices. Some of them use QR codes for instant access, and they are all engineered to be easily accessed and viewed via smartphone or tablet. They are also optimized with a user interface that is designed to function on specific mobile operating systems. For the most part developers have created apps and mobile sites designed to work independently on each operating system and are thankfully staying away from ineffective cookie cutter approaches which can turn out buggy and more annoying than enjoyable. We will provide you with the information you need to access betting apps for your preferred platform.
This guide was created to provide a no-nonsense approach with clear, concise information that leaves you an informed player in regards to the fairly new presence of real money gambling apps. We’ve included information on applications for multiple mobile operating system platforms that span the most commonly used devices. I’m sure you’ve heard the news that has circulated recently regarding security vulnerabilities and predators targeting mobile app users. This places a greater importance on ensuring that you are only accessing secure and trusted mobile gambling applications for real money gambling. In fact, security concerns should be a priority and a driving component when making decisions regarding which betting apps you will consider using and what devices you will use them on. We’ll help you sort through those details as well as provide an understanding of the capabilities and functionality of safe mobile gambling applications.
Bovada is the gold standard when it comes to finding a reputable mobile online gambling site. They cater exclusively to USA and South American players and offer everything under one roof including mobile casino games, mobile poker, mobile sports betting and a lot more. Each of their betting platforms offers a mobile interface that is far and away the most robust on the market.

Life comes to a quick ending when you’re locked on prison death row for a pair of murders that you didn’t commit.
Almost daily we are learning of prisoners crooked from the ultimate punishment. Placed there by unscrupulous prosecutors, dishonest cops, mental illness or just plain bad luck, we hear the accounts too regularly.
Not true. If justice was working, why was someone committed to concrete walls just feet away from where they’d die?
One such case is Gary Gauger.
Gaugher was condemned to die based on remarks he supposedly made. The police didn’t make a record of the purported confession.
Gauger’s parents, Morris and Ruth, ran a modest motorcycle repair shop and marketed imported scatter carpets on the little farm where they lived in McHenry County, Illinois.
Gary found his 74-year old father’s corpse and notified 911. The paramedics, in turn, informed the police. When deputies came, they found Ruth in a house trailer behind the barn.
Grilled all night long, Gary supposably made comments that the policemen and prosecuting attorney said amounted to a confession. Gary, 41, denied he had confessed.
Notwithstanding an exhaustive exploration of the property, no material evidence was ever discovered that linked Gary to the killings. Nevertheless, he was charged May 5, 1993, with murder — two counts.
At his hearing, the jury listened to the prosecution’s account of Gary’s comments. According to law enforcement, Gary told them he had committed the crimes by sneaking up on them and slicing their necks.
The single evidence was loose hair located near Ruth’s body. A state paid pathologist testified at the trial that the bodies displayed wounds consistent with Gary’s story — the elderly couple had been accosted from the back, and a knife pulled across their throats.
Gary was found guilty and condemned to die.
Nine months later, on appeal, Judge Henry L. Cowlin decreased the penalty to life in prison.
In March 1996, the Second District Illinois Appellate Court reversed the decision and sent the case back for a fresh trial. Judges Robert D. McLaren and Fred A. Geiger agreed and ruled Gary’s “confession” was the result of an arrest made without probable cause and should not have been allowed into the trial.
Without the admission, there was nothing to hold Gary on and he was released.
Gary W. Pack, McHenry County State Attorney, persisted in suggesting that Gary had killed his parents. Embarrassed by the lapse in judgment, Pack’s argument was ruined in June 1994 when a grand jury in Milwaukee charged two brothers in a motorcycle gang on 34 counts of racketeering — as well as the murder of the Gaugers.
James Schneider, one of the biker gang’s members, pleaded guilty to the murders in 1993.
“Until this occurred,” Gary said later, “I put my faith in the justice system.

I had the opportunity to attend the Retail Council of Canada’s STORE Conference from 29-30 May, where the importance of the evolving customer journey, personalization, and retail experience were the major topics of discussion across speakers.
The customer journey has changed significantly over the last five years thanks to greater consumer access to and uses for technology, among other factors. The journey seems poised to further shift in the next three years. One example of how the journey is changing is in how shoppers discover and research products before buying them. Eric Morris, Director, Retail, at Google Canada, highlighted two examples of how shopper behavior has shifted. First, according to Morris, “everything today is a high-consideration product.” Where previously a consumer might only research high ticket items, Google searches for everyday items like lipstick have increased rapidly, reflecting the fact that shoppers now do online research for purchases they previously would not have researched at all. Second, Morris notes that Google has also seen searches for lists – Christmas gift lists, for example – increase rapidly, reflecting the fact that customers now increasingly turn to technology before they even know what they plan to buy.
A number of speakers touched on the role that voice searches and voice-activated personal assistants will play in retail and e-commerce contexts in the years ahead. Mario Lemieux, partner at DAC Group, estimates that by 2020 50% of all searches will be conducted via voice. Lemieux went on to identify five factors that will be key for successful voice strategies: localization; user-generated content; optimization; content curation, and media amplification.
A second major theme from the STORE Conference was the importance of personalization of retail and of putting the customer at the center of business decisions. Many attendees, including Loblaw Companies Ltd President Sarah Davis, highlighted the link between loyalty programs and personalization, and the role that personalization plays in marketing. Loblaw Companies Ltd has 13 million Canadians in its recently-combined PC Optimum program, which, per Davis, the company leverages to create personalized weekly offers. Another interesting example of personalization was shared by IBM iX’s Chief Experience Officer, North America Kelly Mooney in the form of 1-800-FLOWERS. 1-800-FLOWERS customers are frequently shopping for gifts for others, and the company lets shoppers input the gift recipient’s social media profile so the company can make better product recommendations.
The Wharton School Professor of Marketing Peter Fader highlighted two common pitfalls for organizations pursuing customer centricity as a core strategy: applying machine learning to questions it is not well-suited to answer (or arguably worse, using machine learning to answer questions that don’t help a company make effective decisions), and assuming that customer centricity means putting all of your consumers at the center of a company’s decision-making. A much more effective strategy, he argues, is to identify your most valuable customers and focus the company’s customer centricity efforts on this cohort.
A third recurring topic through the STORE Conference was about how important experiences in retail are today – and how they will only grow in importance in the years ahead. Per Google’s Eric Morris, “[companies] are competing with the best experience a consumer has ever had” – and not only against the experiences offered by other retailers, but by companies from other sectors such as Uber that set consumer expectations very high. KPMG’s Willy Kruh, Partner, Global Chair Consumer & Retail, and Partner-in-Charge High Growth Markets, shared that in KPMG’s top 10 lessons for retailers, “customer experience is the key to success” is the very first lesson.
Retail Prophet’s Doug Stephens added urgency to the importance of experience, predicting that as value increasingly goes towards “high fidelity” and “high utility” retailers, organizations that deliver run-of-the-mill experiences will struggle to survive. Stephens also suggested that as people increasingly live their life through their devices, real experiences will only come to be more valued. Stephens highlighted the gourmet food retail format Eataly as an example of a retailer that is succeeding at this crucial task.
Doug Stephens of Retail Prophet wrapped up his presentation with the statement that “too many brands are waiting for the future to tell them what they get”, rather than “executing and engineering the future [they] want.” Throughout speakers and conversations at STORE was the recurring message that retailers must actively pursue and embrace changing dynamics with consumers, emerging technologies, and new business models in order to thrive in the years to come.

What Gives the U.S. the Right to Bomb Syria?
used depleted uranium and white phosphorous munitions in Iraq leading to a sharp increase in cancerous birth defects in areas like Fallujah.
does not want you to remember the horrors of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Agent Orange and the Gulf War Syndrome.
The many atrocities committed by the Assad regime since the start of the Syrian revolution are absolutely unacceptable and the stories emerging from the country are completely heartbreaking. And in fairness, the war crimes committed by the many rebel militias operating in Syria, though lesser in number and intensity, are gruesome and also unacceptable. The recent chemical attacks are undoubtedly a very disturbing development. The 100,000 lives lost prior to these attacks were every bit as precious and the suffering of their families is no easier due to the type of weapons which killed their loved ones.
I lean towards agreeing with Patrick Cockburn's analysis that a first step in ending this nightmarish stalemate would be pressuring all sides involved in the fighting and the major regional and outside powers (who undoubtedly wield influence with the government and rebels) to immediately negotiate a ceasefire. The US has reportedly abandoned any participation in peace proceedings and is finalizing plans for air strikes. But even to those who see some sort of armed intervention as necessary, I would ask you to critically question the United States record in the region as a credible force for democracy, as a responsible and moral military and as a suitable partner for peacemaking. With the drumbeats for war building and as US warships are arriving off the Syrian coast, I urge us all to speak out, work together and collectively seek another solution before even more of Syria is destroyed. There are many potential disastrous implications and consequences to increased US involvement in Syria and the region. With the United States hypocritical and self-serving track record, another blunderous intervention will only make things worse.

The dealer sent a stream of WhatsApp messages offering drugs for sale, one of which showed a number of ecstasy pills in the palm of his hand, reports the BBC. An officer who recovered a phone noticed that the middle and bottom of a finger was shown, potentially allowing a fingerprint to be identified.
In the event, it turned out to be the wrong part of the finger.
There were just parts of the middle and bottom of a finger visible – records only keep the top part. This meant the image did not find a match on national databases.
Other clues led police to the suspect, however, and the photo was then subsequently used to prove he was the dealer.
While the scale and quality of the photograph proved a challenge, the small bits were enough to prove he was the dealer.
It has now opened the floodgates and when there is part of a hand on a photograph, officers are sending them in.
The evidence in this case helped to secure 11 convictions.
Bizarrely, Skype and Ikea branding is a thing when it comes to ecstasy pills.

CRYTC is pleased to present “Community, Collaboration, Conciliation: Are We Working Together in a Good Way?,” a public talk by the Six Seasons of the Asiniskaw Īthiniwak postdoctoral fellow Dr. Jennifer Robinson. Her talk will take place on April 3 from 12:30PM to 1:30PM in the CRYTC Lab (3C26).
Dr. Robinson will highlight how community and participatory-based arts collectives are creating new decolonial and anti-colonial research practices through acts of conciliation. Acts of conciliation, start from the premise that gaps in knowledge and different ways of being in the world exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners, but that these gaps can be both productive and transformative. Acts of creative conciliation bring people together to dialogue and debate; produce and create. As such, acts of creative conciliation are producing a body of knowledge and new models of knowledge mobilization in Canada concerning legacies of inequality and contemporary injustices, that are sensory, embodied, and felt. These aesthetic actions serve as critical points of departure to think through the challenges of working with colonial truths in the present. Guiding this work are the questions: How do universities, museums, and art galleries create better practices with Indigenous partners?; How are Indigenous epistemologies and relational research methods changing institutional polices?; and, perhaps most importantly, are we working together in a good way?

Environment Ministers from OECD and selected non-member countries will meet at OECD Headquarters under the chairmanship of New Zealand, with Chile and Slovenia as Vice-Chairs. The meeting will take place after two major international events in 2015, the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. These international events will significantly shape the national and international environmental policy landscape for many years into the future. Ministers will have the opportunity to reflect on these developments and discuss how policies can help their countries to meet their commitments.
Environment Ministers reviewed the implementation of the Environmental Strategy for the First Decade of the 21st Century that they adopted in 2001; discussed future priorities for action based on the OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050: The Consequences of Inaction, which makes a strong case for green growth policies; and adopted a policy statement as input to Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012.
The Joint High-Level Meeting of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and the Environment Policy Committee (EPOC) provided an opportunity to take stock and build upon the progress achieved since the DAC and EPOC met at ministerial level in April 2006. Decision makers discussed urgent issues at the interface of environment and development co-operation and further deepen the strategic alliance between the Environment and Development Co-operation communities.
OECD Environment Ministers met to discuss the environmental trends and projections in the OECD Environmental Outlook to 2030, environmental co-operation between OECD countries and emerging economies, challenges (competitiveness concerns) and opportunities (eco-innovation) associated with policies to address climate change, and the enhancement of government-wide co-operation to address climate change.
OECD Development and Environment Ministries and Agencies joined forces to launch a process to work in partnership with developing countries to integrate environmental factors efficiently into national development policies and poverty reduction strategies.
The meeting of OECD Environment Ministers and partners was a timely opportunity to take stock of implementation of the OECD Environmental Strategy, to share experiences with the design of efficient and effective environmental policies and how to overcome some of the challenges to better policy integration and subsidy reform, and to highlight the role of partnerships in a globalizing world. Ministers adopted a Statement outlining priorities for Further Work at the OECD on Sustainable Development, and endorsed 3 OECD Council Acts to support environmental policy design and monitoring.
When they met on 16 May 2001, OECD Environment Ministers adopted an ambitious OECD Environmental Strategy for the First Decade of the 21st Century. The OECD Environmental Strategy aims to provide clear directions for environmentally sustainable policies in OECD member countries, and guides the work of the OECD in the field of environment.
