Cordoba, Argentina,
Two podium positions for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing SA on Dakar 2018
Stage win for De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz on Stage 14
3rd place on Stage 14 for Al Attiyah/Baumel
2nd overall for Al Attiyah/Baumel
3rd overall for De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz
Two Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Hilux in Top Three
Five Toyota Hilux race cars in Top 10
Dakar 2018 finally drew to a close on Saturday, January 20th in the Argentine city of Cordoba. The closing stage of the race, Stage 14, proved to be very exciting, with just 08:08 separating Toyota Gazoo Racing SA's Giniel de Villiers/Dirk von Zitzewitz in overall third place, from Peugeot's Stephane Peterhansel in fourth.
"We always knew that Stephane was going to push on the last stage, but making up eight minutes on such a fast WRC-style stage isn't easy," said an elated De Villiers from the end of the final stage, near Villa Carlos Paz in Argentina. "At the same time, we had to make sure we made no mistakes, and one slip could cost us the podium."
In the end, De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz did much more than simply keep their noses clean: The 2009 Dakar winners drove a faultless stage with their Toyota Hilux finishing 40 seconds ahead of Peterhansel to claim their first stage win of Dakar 2018.
This meant that De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz retained their third position in the overall rankings, while teammates Nasser Al Attiyah/Mathieu Baumel set the third-fastest time of the day, just one second behind Peterhansel.
"For us, Dakar 2018 was extremely tough," said the Qatari driver from the final bivouac in Cordoba. "But we are very happy to finish in second place overall. Of course, we would have been happier with a win, but to have two of our three cars on the podium, is an amazing achievement, and we have every reason to be proud."
Dakar 2018 was an amazing race that stretched across three countries, 14 stages and more than 7,000 km. The race started in the Peruvian capital of Lima on January 6th, 2018.
The opening stage saw Al Attiyah/Baumel take the spoil, and an early lead on the world's toughest automotive event. But Stage 2 quickly bit back, as Bernhard ten Brinke and navigator Michel Périn lost time in the thick sand; and Baumel falling ill mid-stage.
The pick of the bunch was De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz, who posted the fourth-fastest time on Stage 2.
Stage 3 saw Al Attiyah/Baumel bounce back with a second stage victory, while De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz recorded a solid stage, steadying their ship in the process. Ten Brinke/Périn suffered two puntures on the stage, but remained in touch with the leaders despite their troubles.
Next came Stage 4, described by Toyota Gazoo Racing SA Team Principal, Glyn Hall, as 'a bit of a disaster' for the team. All three cars fell foul to the fearsome dunes of Peru, with each crew losing time to the four Peugeots, who seemed to be operating on a different planet.
But then, on Stage 5, the team consolidated. The times that day were good, if not stage-winning, but it was exactly what the doctor had ordered. With that said, Ten Brinke/Périn posted the 2nd-fastest time on the day, and at the same time Peugeot's Sebastien Loeb was forced to retire from the race when his navigator, Daniel Elena, injured his back on a particularly hard landing.
"If anything, Stages 4 and 5 were the two biggest turning points on this year's race," said Hall from Cordoba. "First, we were tortured in the dunes, and then there was a glimmer of hope, underscored by Bernhard's stunning performance."
Stage 6 saw the Dakar move into the high altitudes of the Bolivian Altiplano, where the naturally aspirated V8 engines of the Toyota Hilux were at a disadvantage. Even so, all three Toyota Hilux race cars reached the rest day in La Paz without any mechanical difficulties, and the technical crews spent the rest day preparing the cars for stages 7 and 8 – the unsupported Marathon Stages, linking La Paz, Uyuni and Tupiza.
The Marathon stages proved to be no problem for the highly reliable Toyota Hilux race cars, though Peugeot's Stephane Peterhansel suffered a crash mid-stage, and had to wait for teammate Cyril Despres for assistance. The French driver lost 01:45:00 as a result, promoting Al Attiyah to second place in the overall rankings.
It was a happy reunion with the team in Tupiza, after Stage 8 – and a big relief to have all three cars home undamaged. Stage 9 followed, but was cancelled due to flooding – so next up was Stage 10.
A second-place finish for De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz was backed up by a 5th-place for Ten Brinke/Périn. Unfortunately, Al Attiyah/Baumel hit a rock in the latter part of the stage, damaging the rear suspension of the car, and losing nearly half an hour on the day. For the Qatari, it was a stage to forget.
"We are so disappointed, because we were actually chasing hard for the stage victory," he said. "It went so well until late in the stage, but what can we do?"
Well, Ten Brinke/Périn certainly knew exactly what to do, as they took on Stage 11 of Dakar 2018 – the much-feared section of dunes known as Fiambalá. The Dutch driver drove a flawless stage to take his first stage victory of the race, by more than four minutes. Both De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz and Al Attiyah/Baumel recorded solid stage performances in Fiambalá, but Ten Brinke's win stood out as a highlight for many members of Toyota Gazoo Racing SA.
"Winning a stage on the Dakar Rally is always a big thing," explained Hall. "Winning in Fiambalá, however, is something truly magical. And I can't praise Bernhard and Michel enough for their performance."
Possibly inspired by Ten Brinke's performance, Al Attiyah/Baumel took the bull by the horns on Stage 12, winning the stage for the team. De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz again recorded a solid stage, with Ten Brinke/Périn losing time after opening the road. By now the stages were unwinding, and Toyota Gazoo Racing SA found its cars in third, fourth and fifth positions in the general ranking.
Stage 13 was the last long stage of the race, and the last real opportunity for the top order to change. And, as ever on the Dakar, there was a sting in the tail – not only for Toyota Gazoo Racing SA, but also for Peugeot's Stephane Peterhansel.
The French driver crashed on the stage, and lost 57 minutes on the day. This allowed both Al Attiyah/Baumel and De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz to move up one position in the general ranking – putting two of the team's three Toyota Hilux race cars on the podium.
"At the same time, we received the devastating news that Bernhard and Michel had to retire after an engine problem," said Hall. "This was our first engine failure in half a decade, and we were both surprised and disappointed that it happened. Add to that the fact that only one stage remained in the race, and only one word can describe the feeling: 'heartbreaking'."
With Peterhansel dropping down the order, and the two Toyota Gazoo Racing SA cars on the podium, only one thing remained in Dakar 2018: To complete the final, 120 km-long stage without mishap, while De Villiers/Von Zitzewitz fended off Peterhansel for the final podium position.
The Toyota Gazoo Racing SA crew started the stage with 08:08 in hand over the Peugeot driver, and pushed hard to make sure they stayed clear of the hard-charging Frenchman. In the end, De Villiers did more than enough – not only staying ahead of the Peugeot, but winning the stage in the process.
"It is always special to win a stage on the Dakar, and this year we got a win right at the end," said De Villiers.
"But more than that, we brought the Toyota Hilux home on the podium, just behind our teammates Nasser and Mathieu. What a fantastic feeling."
The Dakar Rally remains one of the toughest, most iconic races in the world, and this year featured many new stages and innovations put in place by former Dakar winner, now Sporting and Assistant Director of the race, Marc Coma. Some may argue that the race was too hard this year, especially in the beginning, where many privateers failed early in the event. But then again this is the Dakar, and it is meant to be tough.

Read the events of the Bible as they occured chronologically. For example, the Book of Job is integrated with Genesis since Job lived around the same time as Abraham.
Read the books of the Bible as they occured in the Hebrew and Greek traditions (the order in which they were written). For example, the Old Testament books in the Hebrew Bible do not occur in the same order as they do in our English Bible. The New Testament books are arranged according to their date of writing as well.
Read the Old Testament and New Testament together. Your knowledge of the Old Testament will be enhanced by what you read simultaneously in the New Testament.
With this guide there are no surprises. You simply read through the Bible from start to finish, from Genesis to Revelation.
This Through The Bible Plan was written by the Scottish preacher Robert Murray McCheyne for his congregation. The readings in the left hand column are to be read by the entire family as a family. The readings on the left are individual (or "secret" as McCheyne called them) readings. They are meant to be read during personal devotion time.
TEXT : TEXT - 2Ki 6:15 And when the servant of the man of God was rise n early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 2Ki 6:16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 2Ki 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
The miraculous works of Elisha are a parallel to the ministry and work of Elijah, his mentor. Like Elijah, Elisha also meets a widow and God supplies a miracle by filling all the pots with oil so she does not have to have her sons taken from her to pay her debt. Elisha also performs a resurrection, for which the Shunnamite woman is exceptionally grateful. Both the Shunnamite's conception and receiving her son back to life again are signs of the great anointing that rests on Elisha.
Miracle after miracle attends the ministry of Elisha. It is interesting to see how the Syrian Naaman seeks out a Jewish prophet. Remember, the Syrians are the perennial enemies of Israel to this day. Yet, need will drive anyone to seek relief, no matter where they have to go. Further, to be told to dip himself in the river, insulted Naaman. Yet his servant tells him if Elisha had said to do something great - he would have done it. Yet, dunking himself in the river was humbling and demeaning.
1. "I thought, He will surely come Out to Me. He will never make his servant the medium of communication between Me and himself.
2. And stand - present himself before me, and stand as a servant to hear the orders of his God.
3. And call on the name of Jehovah his God; so that both his God and himself shall appear to do me service and honor.
God humbles the proud and exalts the contrite. Elisha would receive no gift from Naaman, even as Abraham would receive nothing from the king of Sodom. This is the sign of a true Man of God. They refuse to prostitute themselves for gain. Unlike false prophets throughout the ages, true Men of God are sold out to God, and not to mammon.
However, Gehazi, riding on the coattails of Elisha seeks a gift [money] and receives leprosy in return. Such is the reward of the mercenary prophet!
TRUTH FOR TODAY : GOD WILL KEEP HIS OWN!
One of the most enlightening and encouraging truths concerning the servants of God is found in the story of Elisha being surrounded by the Syrian army. Here we learn of the power of God and the ability and willingness of God to preserve and protect His own. We also learn these means of protection and preservation are not seen with human eyes. They are accepted by faith, and when necessary, revealed to the eyes of the inner man by the Holy Spirit. We are to live by faith, not by sight. However, God knows at what moment we need to be encouraged "by sight" so our faith will not fail. In all, God keeps whom He saves; and saves whom He intends to keep. This is encouraging, and strengthens our trust in the Living God.
All that we need to make Heaven is found in Christ. On His part [that is - God], He will see to it that we never fall. However, on our part, we must keep our h and in His Hand, and not turn to the world from which we are saved. God has all power, and will employ it for our good. Whether angels, His Spirit, or His Word etc. the Godhead is sufficient to preserve us to His heavenly Kingdom. We simply need to keep our eyes on Christ.
Certainly, God will keep His own! The true believer will never fall or fail. Christ provides, protects, and preserves!

Ol' Dirty Bastard's son, Boy Jones, performs 'Brooklyn Zoo' with Wu-Tang Clan (VIDEO)
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 by Jen Boyles in Music
ODB's son representing with his gear
Large-scale hip-hop shows usually have one thing in common besides the beefed up security and hazy atmosphere: There's always a shit ton of people on stage who don't need to be. So imagine the backstage scene on Sunday night at the Wu-Tang show -- a group with 5,000 members to begin with -- and one that featured an intimidating number of local rap acts from all around the city.
It was kind of a zoo, but fun nonetheless, and we here at City Pages are fine with the fact that we added to the growing entourage because we got an impromptu interview with Inspectah Deck and had a great vantage point when the son of the late Old Dirty Bastard surprised the sold-out crowd with a performance of "Brooklyn Zoo" and "Shimmy Shimmy Ya."
And we've got the video.
[jump] A local DJ and I were standing near the stage door next to a stocky kid wearing an ODB tribute shirt and sporting the "Baby I've Got Your Money" rapper's famously unruly hairstyle. My friend tapped the kid on the shoulder and plainly asked, "Hey, are you ODB's son?"
The kid smirked and made the universal sign for "Shhh!" as Method Man announced that we "weren't going to believe this, but ODB is physically in the building." Then, the spawn of Ol' Dirty tore to the edge of the stage to meet the sufficiently hyped-up crowd and this is what transpired:

I would like to schedule a workflow to find all items that belong to a purchase order that has been marked as shipped by the vendor and mark them as shipped. Doing this manually, Netsuite takes you to the Item Fulfillment form. When I attempt to establish a workflow to transform the purchase order record, I am unable to find 'Item Fulfillment' in the "Record Type" drop-down when establishing the Workflow action. My options are "Item Receipt," "Vendor Bill," and "Vendor Return Authorization." Any workarounds if this isn't possible to do this way?

Q: Kernel of a mapping from a polynomial vector space to $\mathbb{R}^3$
Let $\mathbb{R}_3[x]$ be a linear vector space of polynomials of degree $\leq 3$ and let $$f: \mathbb{R}_3[x] \ni p \mapsto (p(0), p(1), p(2)) \in \mathbb{R}^3.$$ Find the dimensions of kernel and image of $f$ and any basis of the kernel.

First, I examine the kernel space.
Let $p(x) = ax^3 + bx^3 + cx + d \in \mathbb{R}_3[x]$ of any real $a, b, c, d$. Then $$p \in \ker(f) \iff f(p) = (0, 0, 0)$$ and thus I obtain the system of equations:
$$\begin{cases}
p(0) = d = 0 \\
p(1) = a + b + c = 0 \Rightarrow c = - a - b \\
p(2) = 8a + 4b + 2c = 0
\end{cases}$$
Substituting $c$ to the last equation:
$$8a + 4b - 2a - 2b = 0 \Rightarrow b = -3a$$
Hence $c = 2a$ and
$$p \in \ker(f) \iff p(x) = ax^3 - 3ax^2 + 2a = a(x^3 - 3x^2 +2)$$
Therefore, since $a$ is any real number, I suspect that
$$\ker(f) = \text{span}\left(\{x^3 - 3x^2 + 2\}\right)$$
Is that correct? Would this follow that $\{x^3 - 3x^2 + 2\}$ is the kernel basis, leading to $\dim(\ker(f)) = 1$?
I would then conclude that
$$\dim(\text{im}(f)) = \dim\left(\mathbb{R}_3[x]\right) - \dim(\ker(f)) = 4 - 1 = 3$$

A: It is almost correct, but the conclusion should be that $\ker f=\langle x^3-3x^2+2x\rangle$.

A: $\ker f=\operatorname{span}\{x(x-1)(x-2)\}$ has dimension $1$.  Thus, by the Rank-nullity theorem,  the image of $f$ has dimension $3$.  So you are correct (other than losing an $x$ in $x^3-3x^2+2\color{red}x$...)

The U.S. preferred stock market is exhibiting the qualities of the hybrid equity / bond like structure they are. Through May 15th, 2014, the S&P U.S. Preferred Stock Index has recorded a year to date total return of 9.61% mirroring more the bond market than the stock market in this low rate environment. The index is heavily weighted in the financials sector, a sector that has seen a resurgence. The May 16, 2014 Wall Street Journal article entitled Higher-Yielding Bank Debt Draws Interest highlights the appetite for higher yields including subordinated debt and preferred stock. The bond like characteristics of preferred stocks seems to be rewarding investors so far in 2014.

As of mid May 2014, the S&P Municipal Bond Index has returned 5.91% as the supply demand imbalance continues. New issue supply remains comparatively low to relative to past years and munis have been enjoying a flight to quality halo despite the weaknesses shown by Detroit and Puerto Rico. The S&P 20 Year High Grade Index has erased its 2013 losses and has returned over 13.9% year to date.
Puerto Rico General Obligations tracked in the S&P Municipal Bond Puerto Rico General Obligation Index have rebounded positively in 2014 but may have peaked in recent days as the market has shown little indication of continued forward progress. The weighted average yield of the index has been hovering around 7.67% and 7.73% for the month to date without a major move in either direction. The Puerto Rico bond market has a long way to go to offset it's 2013 losses of over 20%.

The recently published research paper on S&P GIVI®: Factor Investing: A Review of the S&P Global Intrinsic Value Index analyzes in detail the source of GIVI returns globally and regionally. S&P GIVI is a multi-factor global index which provides exposure to low volatility and the value factors by removing 30% of the highest beta stocks in each country and weighting the rest of the stocks by their intrinsic value. The case for factor investing has gathered momentum post the 2008 crisis when it became clear that diversification by sector, geography and size was not sufficient and factor diversification was equally essential. S&P GIVI launched in March 2012 and we now have almost two years of live performance data and back tested data for 13 years prior to 2012. Analyzing the live data we see immediately the benefit of low volatility in emerging markets which have seen severe volatility recently (Figure 1). In the US where markets have seen a sharp rise, the drag effect of a low volatility approach is negated by the value tilt which is experiencing a strong uptick (Figure 2).
The full period (2000-2013) Sharpe ratio of the S&P GIVI Global is 0.46 which compares favorably with a Sharpe ratio of 0.17 for the corresponding market capitalization- weighted S&P Global BMI (Figure 3). While the performance gap shrinks when we examine shorter and more recent time periods, the S&P GIVI Global either matches or outperforms the S&P Global BMI during the corresponding time periods. The S&P GIVI Developed clearly outperforms the S&P Global BMI in every time period examined (Figure 4).
The research paper shows the impact of using portfolios in a sequential fashion starting with a portfolio which is 100% intrinsically value weighted and progressively allocating in increments of 10% a portfolio of low beta stocks with the final portfolio being 100% low beta and no allocation to intrinsic value weighting. The most interesting observation was that the S&P GIVI Global matched or outperformed each of these combinations over each time period measured (Figure 5).
S&P GIVI allows investors to invest in two factors simultaneously without worrying about the right allocation mix in a cost efficient manner. Exposure to low volatility and value provides a diversification from regular market capitalization weighted indices, with downside protection in time of downturn and potential for growth in up markets.

The coming week will provide Europeans with a chance to vote in the 2014 EU parliament elections. Nationally and internationally, the contest is viewed as somewhat moot; the majority across the EU will most likely not even vote.
But whilst voters in the EU elections are not voting for members of the ECB or its president Mario Draghi, the European central bank IS directly governed by the laws of the EU parliament. With laws defining a financial transaction tax, bank regulation and a potential banking union all on the immediate agenda for the EU, the outcome may be more important than the minimal degree a low turnout and sparse media coverage implies.
At the time of the last elections (held between 4 and 7 June 2009), the EU exhorted citizens to vote with campaigns with titles such as "How much should we tame financial markets?". Since then, in price terms, the S&P Europe 350 index of large-cap stocks is up by over two thirds. And, whilst the markets were not "tamed" entirely, volatility has certainly come down:
S&P Europe 350 price return and volatility, May 2009 – May 2014

Most equity investors would not be disappointed with such returns – including the effects of dividends before tax, the gross total return of the S&P Europe 350 was 100% – but investing is a relative game. If you had decamped to the U.S. markets and the S&P 500 in particular, as many did during the Eurozone crisis, you would have done better.

More recently, Europe-focused ETFs listed in the U.S. saw large inflows and flows from U.S. investors to European stocks have been tilted in favour of the latter since the new year. Why are those outside Europe now buying in?
Value is part of the answer: after five years of stellar performance, valuations in the U.S. have risen too; and by a greater extent than their underperforming European equivalents. So by now on most measures of "value" Europe certainly looks "cheaper" than the U.S.
But it is not just U.S. value investors who are attracted. The considerable fillip to the U.S. markets provided by tens of billions of monthly bond purchases by the Fed's stimulus program looks likely to be wound down by the coming October; interest rates are predicted to rise shortly thereafter. The ECB has so far only provided oral guarantees supporting the Euro ("whatever it takes"). And while the ECB does not look set to make a surprise announcement of anything like the U.S. program; the prospect of deflation has brought on more bullish talk. The ECB has also relied less on signalling their intentions than the Fed, a consequence of which is greater uncertainty.
Judging by the experience of Japan and the U.S., expanded fiscal stimulus in Europe will likely boost the equity markets in its wake. Those investors who won't "fight the Fed" – and those flocked to Japan early last year – will be watching Europe closely. It is impossible for us to predict who will do better out of Europe or the U.S. over the next five years. But we can certainly understand why U.S. investors are looking to Europe at present.
Ultimately, the role and composition of pan-EU institutions impacts the demand from international investors for equity markets in the region.The winners of the 2009 elections, still reeling from a financial crisis, were shortly served a potent cocktail of challenges to the integrity, currency, credit and economic future of the region via the Eurozone crisis. The challenges ahead will hopefully not prove equally testing, but for their impacts on the financial markets alone, these elections may well prove important.

The ongoing debate around the inadequate financial literacy in this country continues. We often attribute this to the slow growth of our mutual fund industry, which still have a sea of investors who need to wake up to understanding the benefits of this industry. I ran a quick poll in my personal network of family & friends who are working professionals, many of whom belong to financial industry, asking the basic question "Where do you invest?" It's surprising to hear that they too are busy in their day to day activities to park their savings in viable options. Direct equities are not a favorite among them as it's not possible to diligently monitor the daily market movement. This is where awareness of the benefits of passive investing could be an eye opener.
The S&P BSE SENSEX in the last year has given a return of 20.73 % (One year Total Return as on 31st March, 2014), that is if we are looking at just plain vanilla market returns. The advantages in index returns are that there is no monitoring, it's predictable and there is history on performance so your expectations are managed. The S&P BSE SENSEX provides you with the average market return, which comparatively, would seem more beneficial than savings bank or fixed deposits returns which are in fact net negative returns, if one were to discount them by the ongoing inflation rate. Index Investing also provides scope for diversification- sectors, themes, asset allocation strategies and if one were not interested in equities, there is also fixed income.

India currently has 25 Index Funds and nearly 39 ETFs. Minuscule compared to the global scenario, but a good range to choose from this growing trend. The government is providing necessary incentives to investors via tax incentives to first-time investors, reduction in STT on equity ETFs and inclusion of ETFs for the Rajiv Gandhi Tax Savings Scheme.
The incentive and options are actively being provided to create awareness on the various options and to ensure one recognizes the opportunity that lies ahead to make regular investing a habit. It is that simple!

Irv Gotti is a music DJ, composer, rapper, record producer and singer. He is also a film and television producer. Gotti has popularly known hip-hop and RnB music genres although he started out as a rapper in the mid-90s. He grew up in Hollis New York in a big family along with his seven siblings.

What Is Irv Gotti Net Worth?
It is estimated that Irv Gotti has a net worth of $20 million. A big part of Irv Gotti's net worth comes from his music.

It is estimated that Gotti makes an average of $10 million per year. However, this income has drastically reduced in the last few years considering he has been facing some legal issues that dug deep into his finances. He was recently acquitted from the legal issues so his income is likely to grow from now.
How Irv Gotti Spends His Money?
Irv Gotti is in showbiz and just like his colleagues, he does not spare money on luxuries. In 2018, he bought a 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom house in Encino.

He was recently caught in a money-laundering scandal with the FBI. Over the past few years, he has spent close to $10 million on legal fees trying to win the case. Recently, he was acquitted from the money laundering case so he can now focus on spending money on other things.
His full name is Irving Domingo Lorenzo Jr.
He is currently married to Ashely Martelle. However, he was once married to Debbie Lorenzo who they have three kids together. His marriage with Debbie ended after it was rumored that he was having an affair with Ashanti. After their marriage ended Irv Gotti got married to Ashley of Taz Angels and they are together to date.
Irv Gotti has always been in the middle of scandals. The most recent scandal is the money-laundering scandal that he was facing with the FBI. Fortunately, he was able to win the case and he is now free from the case. In another scandal, he was caught on camera exchanging words with Ja-Rule and the videos were all over on social media.
Unlike popular belief, he is not related to John Gotti who was responsible for killing for profit. However, he admits that his name Gotti was inspired by John Gotti. His record label Murder Inc. was also inspired by John Gotti.

The hospital buildings prior to WWII (Top left), after WWII (1946), after rebuilding in mid-fifties (right).
Poland will build a museum dedicated to the life and death in the infamous World War II-era Warsaw Ghetto.
The museum will be located in a former children's hospital named after two families: Berson and Bauman.
This hospital was founded during the years 1876-1878 thanks to the money and efforts of two families: Majer and Chaja Berson and Salomon and Paulina Bauman. In 1873, they bought the property between Śliska and Sienna streets.
Henryk Goldszmit (Janusz Korczak) worked there as a young doctor.


Why would we ever wobble? Be indecisive? Act confused?
All wobbling comes from fear -- to turn left or right, to say yes or no. Fear of not getting what we want, tripping, falling. Actually, the risky position is the not deciding and "not doing." When we fall, we can just get up. When we miss the mark, we can just do it again. Life can be a hesitant dance...or a daring adventure.
Thank you Bears. I had to give something up today, to do something else...my life.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure........only joking!!! For me, the fear is that by doing something I would make my situation worse, which of course is a judgment. But as you say, no decision is a decision, but often without clarity and therefore more risky than deciding what to do.
Deciding that the universe is benevolent is something that I have decided to learn to trust as there are then no wrong moves, and so step by step I can change the way I do things.
really great bears -- very inspiring, like you!
No excuses, just more "daring" and more "adventure". Thanks. Love, DK.
I AM A WOBBLER! Holy cow. Boy am I ever! But.... I know when I am doing it, I know that somehow I am taking care of myself and I don't judge it anymore as bad. That's a start I suppose! Thank you for the reminder Bears. See you in November.
Wibble, wobble, wobble, wome...time for this one to come home!
I'm for daring adventure! Love the "wobbling" metaphor. Thank you for your post Bears.
Wow! So this is a message I needed to here RIGHT NOW. Stand back fear...this wobbler is going to do something. Thanks again for shining a light!
Bears, thank you! It feels like it's the first time I've actually not only understood what wobbling means but began to totally see how I've been doing it in my life...not all my life...but definitely the past few years and how this fear of ...making the wrong move kept me stuck. You are absolutely right! It is The RISKIEST POSITION of ALL! THANK YOU!
Every single day of this course has brought so many WOWS! In only three days (so far) I have dispensed with fears that have followed me for years, and have owned for the very first time how much I believe in ME. Thank you, Bears!
Jyldyz! Hello sweet you! I have an idea! Sign up for Empowering Yourself in November. What a PERFECT program to de-wobble ourselves. I am already going. Can you!? I would LOVE to catch up.
I could give wabbler lessons. The reason why i do it is b/c going left or going right look equally good (or equally bad) to me. I'm waiting for something to tip the scale. BUT, the great part of it is that now I am MUCH more comfortable being in wabble mode. I.e. not judging it. Like, hey, cool, I have a choice to go left or right.
Bears, I am so much more confident at making decisions these days. Between coming to Fearless in the Spring and then following up with Optimal Self Trust this summer, I feel a whole new infrastructure with my decision making. I have minimized the whole process of self-questioning etc..to at least 1/2 of what I used to do. I feel much more in touch with who I am, what I want and most of all happy with the decisions that I make or have made instead of beating myself up about them. SIGH what a relief; a much more comfortable way to live. So much love and gratitude!
My vote is for the daring adventures...I've had a few and don't regret a moment. Love to you, Bears and Samahria, for being daring adventurers, you have enriched so many people's lives as a result!

Much weight falls on the shoulders of the executive branch's mouth.
As Jay Carney exits the Obama administration and the amusingly-named Josh Earnest prepares to become the 30th White House Press Secretary, the Washington Post is running a fascinating feature on the men and women who have occupied that high-stress position. Paul Farhi, who penned the article, notes that Jay Carney is something of an iron-man among his peers, having survived (there's no other verb that really works here) the job for over 3 years. The last White House Press Secretary to make it that long was Mike McCurry, who served in the Clinton administration from 1994 to 1998. Seven different people held the job between McCurry and Carney.
That's Clinton administration spokesman Joe Lockhart, who held the post from 1998 to 2000. Still, Lockhart considers the Press Secretary gig the best he ever had. You wonder if he would feel the same about it if he had to do it in Carney's era, with the 24-hour news cycle now supplemented by social media and the Twitterati.
If Josh Earnest can learn anything from the men and women who have gone before him, it's that he should think about his future job prospects for late 2015. He should also be prepared for the imminent avalanche of articles headlined "The Importance of Being Josh Earnest." I know I am.


Mauricio Pellegrino took advantage of the international break to regroup his players as Leganes bounced back from two successive losses with a 0-2 victory over 4th-placed Getafe on Saturday. It was a fantastic overall display from the Legionaries in a very tough away fixture. It gains on significance if we know they've done it without best player and top scorer Youssef En-Nesyri. Moroccan striker is our through knee injury and is likely going to skip the visit of Valladolid in mid-week as well.
The hosts will still come into Thursday's affair at Butarque as favourites. They are a typical "home side" having lost just 2 of 14 league outings in front of their fans so far in the season. Leganes only conceded 12 goals in the process. Their defensive line did well to stop Getafe away from home on Saturday which is why Valladolid will likely struggle to create in the final third on the evening.
On top of everything mentioned above, the Legionaries have the head to head record on their side.
Leganes won each of three home clashes with Valladolid without conceding a single goal in the process (6-0 goal difference).
The Legionaries also won four of past five head to head ties against Pucela, including this term's 2-4 victory at Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla.
Valladolid, however, failed to find the back of the net in three of last five away outings in the league. They've never scored a goal at Estadio Municipal de Butarque and we have reasons to say the home win to nil is the way to go here.
Leganes to keep a clean sheet @ 2.00 (1/1).

Q: Using Regex in a Converter I have Converter where I want to use Regex to split my ConverterParameters. The following can be the case, it's leading with:
<
<=
>
>=
==
!=

and after that a numer, for example
10.4565

Now I want to split this in two Matches on the Operator to compare and the Number. How can I do this?
I have tried this:
((==)|(!=)|(>)|(<)|(>=)|(<=) )|((?<=[><(==)(!=)(>=)(<=)])[0-9.]+)

A: You can use this regex:
([<>]|[<>=!]=)\s*([0-9.]+)

Yours had a few issues: ((==)|(!=)|(>)|(<)|(>=)|(<=) )|((?<=[><(==)(!=)(>=)(<=)])[0-9.]+)

*

*[><(==)(!=)(>=)(<=)] is a char class, it's equivalent to [(!><=)]

*The lookbehind was useless.

Regex r = new Regex(@"([<>]|[<>=!]=)\s*([0-9.]+)");
string s = @"<= 10.4568";
var matches = r.Matches(s);

foreach(Match match in matches)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Operator {match.Groups[1]}, number: {match.Groups[2]}");
}

Will output:

Operator <=, number: 10.4568

A: This might be the easiest:
(==|!=|>|<|>=|<=)\s*([0-9\.-]+)

It matches strings like "(operator) (number)".

A: Ok here is what I've come up so far
^(<=|>=|!=|==|>|<)(-?\d*\.?\d*$)
tested with
!=-12322.645642
==12322
>=12
>=0.1

this is invalid: ==0..21
this is also invalid
>--0.01

If you also want to allow whitespace between the operator and the number you can do this: ^(<=|>=|!=|==|>|<)(\s?-?\d*\.?\d*$)


Every year, thousands of cavity-nesting birds become trapped in vertical ventilation pipes, chimneys and other dark, narrow spaces. Cavity-nesting bird species, which include woodpeckers, chickadees, owls, ducks and falcons typically make their homes in dead or rotting tree wood.
A recently dead tree will first be used as home to woodpeckers, known as primary excavators. Woodpeckers chip away at the tree to create a cavity as part of their annual courtship and nesting behavior. As the wood softens and decays, secondary cavity nesters, birds that cannot make their own cavities, move in. The American kestrel, and some species of ducks and owls, are examples of birds that rely on these existing cavities for their nesting and reproductive cycle.
Vault toilets, found on public lands including many Corps recreation locations, have vertical ventilation pipes that mimic the natural cavities preferred by some birds. Unfortunately, these man-made cavities often entrap birds looking for a nesting site.
In 2009, an employee of the Audubon Kern River Preserve in California reported finding a fallen irrigation standpipe, 6 inches in diameter and 10 feet long that contained the remains of over 200 dead birds. The ventilation pipes on vault toilets are 12 inches in diameter.
Portland District has installed ventilation screens or caps on our vault toilets to protect the 27 species of cavity-nesting birds that are native to our region. The ventilation screens were purchased from the Teton Raptor Center, located in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The TRC is a nonprofit organization that raised nationwide awareness of this cavity-nesting bird issue with the launch of their Poo-Poo Project. The Corps cares for all of our visitors, including those that have wings and talons.

Raising Taxes Is Not Reducing Government Spending
by George Reisman | Nov 21, 2010
The basis of tax reform must be reduced government spending, not higher taxes.
Sunday's New York Times carries an article titled "The Blur Between Spending and Taxes." The author is Harvard Professor N. Gregory Mankiw.1 The essential theme of the article is that the government is spending when it decides to forgo tax revenue that it otherwise could have collected. Indeed, tax revenues forgone in the enactment of tax deductions, such as for interest payments on home mortgages or charitable contributions, and tax credits, such as for first-time homebuyers or adoptions, are now commonly described as "Tax Expenditures." The thought is that the government is spending money in deciding not to take it in taxes and to allow the taxpayers to keep it.
The underlying assumption of those who hold this view is that the government already owns the funds in question whether it has collected them in taxes or not. The government is the alleged owner of funds that belong to the taxpayer and which it abstains from taking. It allegedly spends these funds in allowing the taxpayers to keep them.
The fundamental question is, who is the owner of the funds paid in taxes? Is it the citizens, who have earned the funds and who turn them over to the government under the threat of being fined or imprisoned, or even killed if they physically resist the government, or is it the government?
To the supporters of the principle of individual rights and limited government — the principle on the basis of which the United States was founded — the obvious answer is that the people own the tax revenues and, in paying them, financially support the government. To the supporters of an omnipotent government ruling over a citizenry of rightless serfs, the government is the owner both of the people's possessions, which, allegedly, are theirs in name only, and, indeed, of the people themselves. It is on the basis of this belief that it follows that the government financially supports the people in not taxing away their wealth.
The defenders of individual rights need to remind the government that it does not pay or enrich anyone by allowing him to keep what is already his.
This truth has major implications for the subject of tax reform, which the Times' article was written to address. Tax reform needs to consist exclusively of reductions in government spending and in taxes. It should not be based on massive tax increases resulting from the elimination of existing tax deductions and credits. It is actual government spending that must be reduced, not what people have up to now been able to avoid having to pay in support of that spending.
The notion of tax expenditures provides the pretext for massive tax increases in the name of reducing government spending. This notion must be cast aside, so that the target of tax reform will be reductions in actual government spending, which then must be followed by reductions in taxes. This is what must be done on a truly massive scale. To the extent that it is accomplished, the income tax can be progressively reduced, until it is ultimately eliminated altogether. At that point, all questions of income tax deductions and credits will have disappeared.
As matters stand, the notion that the absence of taxation constitutes government spending is setting the stage for the total perversion of genuine tax reform. It is being used in an effort to impose as much as a trillion dollars a year in new taxes disguised as a trillion dollars a year of reduced government spending. In the words of the Times' article,
Erskine B. Bowles and Alan K. Simpson, the chairmen of President Obama's deficit reduction commission, have taken a hard look at these tax expenditures — and they don't like what they see. In their draft proposal, released earlier this month, they proposed doing away with tax expenditures, which together cost the Treasury over $1 trillion a year.
This is the sum and substance of the concept of tax reform held not only by the Obama administration but also by cowardly Republicans and conservatives. Simpson was a Republican United States Senator from Wyoming for eighteen years. Mankiw, the author of the Times' article, was chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisors from 2003 to 2005.
In sum, the danger exists that Left and Right are about to unite to accomplish a colossal political fraud in the form of enormous tax increases sold to an unsuspecting public as reductions in government spending. The American people need to stand up and refuse to accept any form of the absurdity that in not taxing them, the government is spending their money and that the path to lower spending and taxes is raising their taxes. The basis of tax reform must be reduced government spending, not higher taxes.

Bina Puri Confident About Bagging RM1b Worth of Jobs
The Edge Markets , Photo Credit to The Edge Markets
https://www.propertyhunter.com.my/news/2017/11/4342/west-malaysia/bina-puri-confident-about-bagging-rm1b-worth-of-jobs
KUALA LUMPUR: Bina Puri Holdings Bhd is confident about securing RM1 billion worth of construction and infrastructure jobs in the next six to nine months, its group executive director Datuk Matthew Tee Kai Woon said.
The group has been securing projects in excess of RM1 billion on a yearly basis.
Currently the group has ongoing projects worth RM2.3 billion and an outstanding order book of RM1.18 billion, which will give it earnings visibility over the next three to four years. Of the outstanding order book, 69% are government-related and the remaining 31% are privately owned projects.
Tee said Bina Puri's tender book stands at RM1.5 billion, which include potential jobs such as the Sabah portion of the 1,663km Pan-Borneo Highway, flood mitigation projects and upcoming developments within the Klang Valley like the Tun Razak Exchange and Menara Warisan Merdeka.
"The Sarawak portion of the Pan Borneo [Highway] has been dished out, but very little has been heard of the Sabah portion. We are positive about the upcoming development" he told a media briefing yesterday.
Tee said Bina Puri has also submitted bids to build large-scale solar power plant projects in Sabah and Melaka, with total capacity of around 10MW each.
"We are waiting for the results from the authorities, which are expected to be released in the next month or so" he added.
Still, Tee said Bina Puri prefers to be aggressive in power generation via mini-hydro projects as it is more predictable.
"We are planning to add more hydropower projects to our stable. We have identified close to 15 suitable locations within Malaysia and Indonesia" he said, guiding that the cost to build a 4MW mini-hydro plant hovers at around US$13 million (RM54.34 million).
Tee also said the group is unlikely to pay dividends for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2017 (FY17) as it reserves its capital to fund ongoing projects.
"Subject to our performance, we may start dishing out dividends, which is more likely to be in FY19 than in FY18" he added. Bina Puri last rewarded its shareholders in FY15.
Mindful of its debt levels which stood at RM619 million as at mid-October, Tee said "the road ahead for Bina Puri is to pare the gearing down as we no longer have a comfortable room to increase our leverage on bank borrowings".
"Our gearing is at around three times, and the optimal gearing level for construction firms typically hovers at around 1.5 times" he added.
Bina Puri had on Nov 13 proposed to raise up to RM9.34 million via a private placement to support its ongoing construction and property development projects.
On the property front, Tee said Bina Puri has an unbilled sales of RM400 million which will be progressively recognised from the next financial quarter.
Bina Puri group chief financial officer David Lee said it has booked property sales of some RM40 million and expects the full-year sales to surpass the RM100 million mark.
Currently, Bina Puri is developing four property projects worth RM3.16 billion in gross development value (GDV) across Kuala Lumpur and Sabah.
"Future developments and launches are slated to be worth RM2.8 billion in GDV, which will keep us busy over the next four years" said Tee.
Tee also said the group remains hopeful of securing the bus rapid transit (BRT) system projects in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and the Klang Valley, which have been delayed since they were announced two years ago. "I am not in the position to say whether the projects have been approved or not. Clearly, the projects have rolled over year after year, but we are still confident about being the top contenders for the Sabah BRT project."
Bina Puri has reportedly submitted a proposal to build the BRT systems, each of which is said to cost around RM1 billion.

Q: How do I show/hide datatips on a chart with a secondary series I have a line chart with a column chart as a secondary series. When I roll over the line, the datatips appear. However, if I move the mouse to a spot where a column appears while still on the line, the data tip item appears for the line AND the column. How do I get it so that I only show datatips for the line but not the column?
<mx:AreaChart id="areachart" dataProvider="{data}" showDataTips="true" >
    <mx:series>

    <mx:AreaSeries id="areaSeries" xField="date" yField="volume" >
    </mx:AreaSeries>

    <mx:ColumnSeries id="secondSeries" xField="date" yField="name" >
    </mx:ColumnSeries>

    </mx:series>

</mx:AreaChart>

A: Alternatively you can set the interactive property of the column to false:
   <mx:ColumnSeries id="secondSeries" xField="date" yField="name" interactive="false">
   </mx:ColumnSeries>

This will prevent the columns from responding to mouse input.

A: Subclass AreaChart and override findDataPoints method to filter out the data points you don't want:
public class CustomAreaChart extends AreaChart
{
    public override function findDataPoints(x:Number, y:Number):Array
    {
        var originalDPs : Array = super.findDataPoints(x, y);
        var filteredDPs : Array = [];

        for each (var hd : HitData in originalDPs)
        {
            if (hd.chartItem.element is AreaSeries)
                filteredDPs.push(hd);
        }

        return filteredDPs;
    }
}

And then use this new class instead of AreaChart.


As a healthcare provider, you are ethically and legally bound to protect the medical information of your patients. Proper management of this information can be challenging.
Rules regarding how you obtain, use and transmit personal healthcare information are laid out in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Specifically, you should pay attention to the Privacy Rule.
HIPAA was the first piece of legislation designed to protect patient information. The law limits who may access patient information and how they can use it. It applies to written, electronic and oral communication. Generally, healthcare providers may only use patient information for providing treatment, obtaining payment, or improving the quality of their service.
Most importantly, HIPAA created criminal and civil penalties for mishandling or improperly disclosing information. This has gone a long way to incentivize healthcare providers to maintain careful controls.
Are you handling your patients' information properly? Take our free test to make sure!
Who Must Abide by HIPAA Regulations?
Persons and organizations that must abide by HIPAA regulations are called "covered entities." They include the following groups.
Healthcare providers – Doctors, hospitals, clinics, therapists, psychologists, chiropractors, pharmacies, dentists, nursing homes, rehab centers, nutritionists, naturopaths, and anyone else who handles health records.
Health plans – HMOs, insurance companies, employer health plans, and government programs that deal with health or health-related billing information.
Healthcare clearinghouses – Anyone who processes healthcare information they receive from another entity.
Business associates – Anyone who handles healthcare information as a function of serving a healthcare organization. This includes contractors, lawyers, accountants, IT specialists, companies that destroy medical records, billing services, software providers, etc.
Not everyone who comes in contact with your medical records is required to follow HIPAA regulations, however. This includes employers, school districts, life insurers, law enforcement agencies, municipal offices, and certain state agencies.
Honoring your patients' rights is absolutely paramount. Penalties for noncompliance can reach as high as $50,000 per violation and ten years imprisonment.
Your patients have the following rights regarding their medical information privacy.
Your patients have the right to understand how you will use their healthcare information. Most providers give out a generic notice at the beginning of any patient relationship and post is somewhere in their office. If you don't, you must provide one if a patient requests.
The privacy notice must describe the HIPAA Privacy Rule (how you may share the information and that you'll ask for consent for other purposes), explain the patient's rights, and tell the patient how to file a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services.
Under HIPAA, patients have the right to view and receive copies of their health information. They do not have rights to obtain the original versions. This applies to electronic records as well. The patient may request a specific format (such as an emailed PDF or a CD). You must comply if the data is available in that format. If not, they must agree on another format or you must produce a physical copy.
Patients can also request that access be given to another person. This other person is usually a relative, another doctor, or an attorney. Have the patient send a written request that identifies the receiving party, the records to be sent, and the address to send them.
Patients must receive their requested records within 30 days. You can extend this period an additional month as long as you notify the patient of the reason for the delay and they date they can expect their information.
In limited cases, you can deny a patient's request for their medical information. For instance, patients do not have the right to view a therapist's notes or any information you collect that regards to legal proceedings. The patient must receive a written denial letter, which they may be able to appeal. In other cases, patients may not appeal a denial.
Patients may submit a written request to have medical records amended if they feel the information is inaccurate. You have 60 days to respond (with an additional 30 if you reply with a written explanation and target date).
You may deny the request as long as you include the reason for the denial (perhaps you didn't create the record, the record is accurate, or the individual does not have the right to access the information). You also must include a statement that makes the person aware they can request to have their amendment request and your denial included with all future disclosures, and how they can complain to the Department of Health and Human Services.
The parent agrees that the minor may have a confidential relationship with you.
A court (or person assigned by the court) orders a minor to obtain healthcare.
The child consents to care and the law does not require additional parental consent.
The Guttmacher Institute has a detailed guide regarding children's medical records and state law.
You may not disclose information to schools without a parent's written authorization. The only exception pertains to immunization records. To protect other students, schools are entitled to know the immunization status of each student.
Medical records in school files are not covered by HIPAA regulations. They are governed by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
You must allow patients to make special requests regarding their privacy. Keep a signed copy of the privacy request at all times.
You aren't obligated to comply with the patient's request. But if you do agree to it, you aren't allowed to change your mind later. You must continue to comply unless you have to violate the request to provide emergency care. You are also not obligated to notify other healthcare providers of the patient's request, but you are encouraged to do so (or at least inform the patient that they must).
You must accommodate requests for patients to receive communications by alternative means or at alternative locations. For instance, a patient may insist you contact him/her using an alternate mailing address or a special phone line. You must comply with these requests.
If a patient requests to pay out of pocket for their treatment so as to not have medical information disclosed (say, to an insurance company), you must comply (as long as you don't have a legal requirement to disclose it).
At any time, a patient may request a list of anyone you have sent their healthcare records to in the last six years. It must include any healthcare organizations or business associates you have passed personal information to. You have 30 days to respond with an additional 30 days if you reply with an explanation for the delay and a target date.
The accounting must include the date of the disclosure, name of the entity who received the information, a description of the information, and a statement of the purpose of the disclosure. It does not have to include disclosures regarding payment, healthcare operations, disclosures the patient authorized, disclosures to law enforcement, or disclosures to the patient.
One accounting each year must be free of charge for the patient. Additional accountings in the same year can be subject to a cost-based fee, as long as you make the patient aware of the fee in advance.
Mishandling patient information can cost you serious fines and even prison time. Take our free test to ensure you are respecting patient privacy.
Healthcare providers accidentally violate privacy regulations in the following ways.
Transmitting information through unsecured electronic methods.
Faxing prohibited information (sexual assault counseling, HIV test results, and others).
Cutting corners when you're busy (ex. failing to shred a document before throwing it away).
Discussing patient information in a public place.
Distributing patient information to family members or friends without the patient's consent.
Accessing information you don't "need-to-know" (even if you can access it, you shouldn't unless you need it).
Patients who are upset with how you handle their privacy may complain to the Department of Health and Human Services. Depending on the veracity and seriousness of the complaint, DHHS may investigate your practice. That's a hassle you don't need.
If you have specific questions about your healthcare practice, learn more from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.

Just got my new exhaust installed by the dealer and love it!
Sent a video to the shop i bought if from and they put it on youtube. Ordered the Downpipes today so i should have them soon. Will post another video with downpipes installed.
Sorry for the bad quality video, the dealer doesnt have a nice video cam.
Sounds pretty good. Congrats. Do you have the Y-pipe installed already or stock. If your getting the downpipes i would highly recomend to upgrade the y-pipes as they will cause heavy restriction in the exhaust if you dont already have them. Imagine an exhaust system that goes from wider to narrower to wider again.
Have you tracked or dynoed your car to see results?

News: Demand for midlevels expected to surge
As the number of retail clinics grows nationally, so does the demand for physician's assistants and nurse practitioners.
There are more than 1,000 retail health clinics nationwide, and the boom shows no signs of subsiding. As the number of clinics grows, so does the demand for physician's assistants and nurse practitioners.
Retail clinics are expected to nab 5,000 midlevels during the next three to five years, according to practice management consultant Keith Borglum of Santa Rosa, California, who discussed the movement in an AAFP session titled "Take Home More of Your Practice Revenue."
As demand for midlevels rises, so will their pay. "You don't have the leverage to compete [with retail giants], so it's going to cost you more," Borglum said. There may come a point, he noted, when it's more advantageous simply to hire an additional physician, rather than a relatively costly midlevel-particularly for specialty practices.

Thankful I found a good doctor that I feel I can trust. That is worth so much to me.
Dr answered all my questions and concerns. Also explained them well enough in terms that I could understand.
Listened very attentively even though I am a long story teller. Used visual example to help me understand what the problem was. Very nice and treated his staff well. I appreciated that he could figure out exactly what the problem was.
Doctor was very thorough, listened to my needs, wasn't rushed, very kind.
The visit went well. After listening to my problem, the doctor suggested a medication to try and see if works to my benefit. I will try the medication as suggested and if it works I will receive a written prescription and have it filled by a military phamarcy.
Great doctor. Very thorough and seeks to find resolution.
My experience with Dr. Ali has been excellent. He is very professional, thorough, and complete in his communication. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Ali for my care.
Dr. Muhammad Ali was very friendly and understanding. He took his time to explain everything to me in depth. He even asked me 3-4 times if I had any questions or concerns.
Pleasant and attentive to my concerns.
Dr. Ali is very courteous, explains medical procedure and reason to have it done. This was my first visit with him, and he reviewed my medical history as well as my medications, and asked me questions as to why I tooksome of them. I highly recommend him as a gastroenterologist.
It's always a pleasure to meet with him. He puts me at ease and is very empathetic.
Dr Ali is very thorough and very professional. He has called me at home FOUR times to check on me and to share lab results! Astounding!
It was my first visit and I thought Dr. Muhammad answered and explained in very detail information about health.
I was very pleased with my first visit, he made me feel at ease and answered my questions very professionally but also in language I could understand. I left feeling very reassured that my concerns were addressed and he would be attentive to any ongoing problems.
Great experience. I look forward to working with Dr. Ali.
I was seeing another GI doctor and was not getting any good info on my problems, I told my Endocrinologist Dr. Aziz, he recommended Dr. Ali. I have been very nervous for about 2 months because I didn't know what todo....In my visit with Dr. M. Ali he brought In a model and began to explain what I had. He was very thorough and instructed me on what I needed to do, and his plan was very comforting . I feel so relieved that I saw Dr. Ali, I thank God and Dr. Aziz for recommending Him... I look forward to working with his care plan and feeling better.
Dr. Ali and his staff were very professional, efficient, and top-notch. They all provided a stress-free appointment.
I love this doctor. He truly listens to your concerns and educates you . He is very polite and they are very quick to see you and get you out but making sure all your concerns are addressed first. I would recommend him to everyone I know.
Dr Ali is just a super guy! He listens very well to your problems and makes me feel very comfortable and at ease while in his care.
