EROTIC TRANSFERENCE: A JOURNEY TO PASSION AND SYMBOLIZATION
– by Susan Kavaler-Adler, PhD, ABPP, NCPsyA, D.Litt.
This article offers an understanding of the developmental evolution of psychoanalytic work with the erotic transference. Having for so long been seen as a resistance, rather than as the manifestation of the primal unconscious longings, the erotic transference needs to be understood both in object relations terms as a transitional object relationship, and in object relations terms as a psychic fantasy evolution. This evolution is generated by a multi-dimensional mourning process, which is both intrapsychically and developmentally motivated. This paper offers the theory and related clinical examples that integrate our conceptualization of erotic transference as a journey from protosymbolic enactment to symbolic passion and poetic self-expression. This paper also distinguishes the patient with protosymbolic visceral and behavioral enactments from the neurotic patient with oedipal love symbolization and oedipal level conflicts. Both heterosexual and homosexual aspects of erotic transference are addressed, with the homoerotic in the heterosexual person being given attention as well. Countertransference perceptions and sensation are also seen in the light of the patient's developmental evolution.
Keywords: transitional object, transference, countertransference, mourning, developmental mourning, erotic transference, homosexual, lesbian, heterosexual, protosymbolic, enactment, intrapsychic.

Field Playability Guidelines
To play or not to play, that is the question. Field playability has always been a subjective issue and everyone seems to have a different opinion on the matter. To insure countywide consistency in determining whether or not a field or diamond is fit for play, the Department developed these criteria. We believe these benchmarks will make for easier and more consistent decisions while enhancing the recreation experience for our participants.
Predicated on safety and maintenance concerns, these guidelines are a product of the efforts of program staff, maintenance personnel and volunteers.
Under any circumstances the safety of the participants is paramount. Strong consideration must also be given to the potential damage to the turf and the length of time required for the field to recover.
When determining field playability, the following guidelines should be followed:
Large areas of standing water on any part of the playing field is just cause for cancellation.
Any attempt to remove standing water from small areas should be done by bailing or by a pump.
During the course of inspection, any visible water or sound (squish) while walking is an indication that the field is unfit for play or practice.
Footprints and the collection of water around them is an indication that the field should be closed.
No less important is our responsibility to provide a safe playable surface for baseball and softball. While ball diamonds present a unique challenge, the approach to determining playability is similar to athletic fields.
Never attempt to remove water from playing fields using a broom to push the water toward a grass area.
Pushing water from a dirt surface to grass creates a deeper hole causing lips that are difficult to remove and unsafe.
Remove standing water by the use of a pump or by bailing with a container.
The use of a drying agent such as Turface is permissible. Care should be taken to apply drying agents in a light coat and to keep it out of grassed areas.
For specific information about canceled or postponed games and events in your community, you should contact your local community office.

2017 Military Strength Ranking: Seven African Countries in the Top 55
North Africa PostSeptember 15, 2017 3:21 pm
Each year, the Global Firepower specialist site draws up its global ranking of conventional armies, which does not take into account the stockpiles of nuclear weapons. In its 2017 military strength ranking, seven African countries are in the top 55.
These are Egypt, Algeria, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa, Angola and Morocco.
As usual, the list is topped by the United States, which largely dominates the classification based on some forty criteria. With a budget of $587 billion, the US military is largely outpacing its closest competitors, such as Russia ($44 billion) and China ($161 billion). India, which has a population of 1.2 billion, is followed by France, which is supplanting the United Kingdom and is the leading military power on the European continent.
In Africa, Egypt holds the top spot (10th place in the world), with more than 1,000 aircraft and 4,000 tanks. Far ahead of Algeria, which ranks 25th in the ranking, with some 500 aircraft and 2,400 tanks. The country has the largest military budget in the southern Mediterranean, estimated at about $10 billion.
Other African military powers are Ethiopia (41st), which spends "only" 340 million dollars for its army, Nigeria (43rd), South Africa (46th), Angola (51st) and Morocco (54th). The ranking has been showing a relatively stable configuration for several years, except for the eviction of Libya immersed in unspeakable chaos since 2011.
For several years, the African continent has also distinguished itself by its appetite for the purchase of weapons from the United States, Russia and France. According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Algeria, Egypt and Morocco spent more than $11,000 million between 2012 and 2016.

What my Soho House membership means to me
From making meaningful connections to expanding horizons, four Soho House members reveal the best things about their membership
Wednesday 7 December 2022 By Soho House
From the access it provides to our unique locations across the globe, to the creative community you become a part of the moment your application is approved, Soho House membership is meaningful.
But it's a point far better heard directly from the members. So, we asked four of them – from the UK, Amsterdam, New York and Mumbai – to tell us what their membership means to them.
'Use the pools, leverage the cultural programming and don't be afraid to speak to people'
Stephen Mai, London
Cofounder of Woo
Shoreditch House member since 2015
'Soho House feels like my second home. It's where I can catch up, have fun, work out and meet people. The poolside mornings over London in the summer still blow my mind. It amazes me that you can live like you're on holiday in the middle of the city.'
'For me, the appeal of becoming a member of Soho House was the idea of global creatives mixing in beautiful spaces all over the world, with delicious food and the occasional poolside bed. I like that a members' club can feel so casual and laid back, and that the people tend to be sociable and have interesting stories. It always surprises me how chilled everyone is.'
'In London, my favourite House is 180. I love the interiors, and the pool with views of all the city landmarks is hard to beat. Internationally, I am a huge fan of Soho House Berlin – especially the store on the ground floor – and DUMBO House in New York is just jaw dropping. I have a soft spot for Shoreditch, too, where I swim. I've lost hours and even days in Shoreditch over the years.'
'The best party I ever went to at Soho House was the Universal BRITS afterparty at the 180 pop-up (before it became 180 House). They turned what was an empty building into a fully functioning Soho House. Famous guests, awesome food, plus a bit of a spectacle.'
'If you get a Soho House membership, I would recommend you make the most of it. Use the pools, leverage the cultural programming and don't be afraid to speak to people.'
'On an average day at the Houses, I like to sunbathe poolside, where I'll have my usual flat white with oat milk, and poached eggs and avocado before work. Later on, I might work out and have a sauna. I'll end the day with dinner at Pen Yen and see where the night takes me.'

'Many of the members I have met within the Soho House network have been invaluable connections for me as a creative'
Dominek Tubbs, New York
Operations management at Squarespace by day and food content creator for her brand Dom N' The City by night
Ludlow House member since 2022
'My Soho membership is valuable to me, because it grants me access to an environment where I can network with like-minded creatives, enjoy a variety of programming, handle professional affairs, and also have a good time.'
'My favourite House to visit when I'm travelling is Chicago. The lobby is so unique, they have a diverse membership, an awesome rotation of DJs, and some great views of the Windy City from their rooftop.'
'Many of the members I have met within the Soho House network have been invaluable connections for me as a creative. Kelsey, the membership manager at Ludlow, does such a great job of being a dot connector for members of shared talents and interests.'
'The best event I've ever attended at Soho House was a podcast recording for Black Men Cry Too during Mental Health Awareness Month. The platform is dedicated to helping Black men share their truth and find mental health resources.'
'On an average Friday, I'll arrive at Ludlow House at 12 just in time for a latte and a quick lunch. Then, I use the space until about 4pm to knock out some co-working tasks. I'll order a Mezcal Picante as I'm closing my laptop, before texting my friends to confirm their ETA for an early kiki over cocktails. We'll grab dinner at DuckedUp where, of course, I order the duck. We'll invariably stay so long that we'll decide to check out what tracks the DJ is spinning.'
'At Soho House everyone is equal and any preferential treatment disappears'
Tess Joseph, Mumbai
Soho House Mumbai member since 2018
'I feel at home at Soho House Mumbai, where time feels less rushed, and the environment is warm and non-intrusive. The House is a space where I can be me, whether I'm alone or with company. From the team running the show to a random member I meet on an elevator ride, there's warmth in every connection.'
'Soho House has always felt "thoda hatke" ("a little different" in Hindi) in the hustle and bustle of a city where who you are often determines how you are treated in public spaces. At Soho House everyone is equal and any preferential treatment disappears. And I love that every House is a photography and phone-free zone.'
'I have too many great memories from Soho House to list here. From performing at the most intimate Kommune storytelling and spoken word showcase, I love that what remains is a memory that connects all of us rather than pictures online. I've collaborated and built films and OTT shows at Soho House. And I've had some of my best (and worst) dates there.'
'Soho House membership opens you to a global cultural and creative ethos. If you want a space full of other creatively minded people and an alternative option to working from home, Soho House gives you both – plus member events that allow you to stay connected to the arts scene and let your hair down. It's a quiet club, perfect for the working creative who craves a space where you can switch off from the world and switch back on to collaborate, meet and mingle on your own terms. And if you're a working creative person who travels, Soho House feels like a comfortable global extension of your everyday.'

'For me, it just made sense to join, as it was where I always ended up with my colleagues or friends'
Stefanos Constantinou, Amsterdam
VP of brand partnerships and general manager at Highsnobiety
Soho House Amsterdam member since 2019
'Travelling for work is only sometimes fun. Soho House provides you with the kind of environment you want to be in when you're feeling either homesick or you need to combine both work meetings and entertainment. For me, it just made sense to join, as it was where I always ended up with my colleagues or friends.'
'My favourite spot in all of the global Houses is DUMBO. I can sit on the roof terrace overlooking the bridge for hours during the summer. Nothing beats a good lunch there, too. But as I work for a German company, Berlin is my go-to. It's ideally located with all the amenities someone like me needs.'
'Once, when I was using the gym, I met AKA Block, a Dutch singer who lives and performs in London. We had a conversation about art and how it is to be a tourist in your city. Since then, I've followed his career and new releases, which I enjoy.'
'To anyone who's thinking about applying for membership, I would say do it. Just as Soho House's global presence expands, so does the creative community that comes with it. It's full of people from different backgrounds and life paths, and it fills me with energy and makes me return. There are amazing rooms to sleep in, a gym, a cinema, a restaurant, a bar and a spa. If these things aren't enough to enhance your life, then I don't know what is.'
'I might be biased, but by far the best event I've attended at Soho House was the Highsnobiety x Y-3 party during fashion week in Paris. Seeing friends from Hong Kong and then Jerry Lorenzo casually walking in made it a night to remember.'

What does a woman want to do when she retires? Travel? Pursue hobbies? Spend time with friends and family? We all have dreams about what those days will be like. But when it comes to turning those dreams into reality, women's retirement confidence and know-how is low. According to a 2012 survey, 92 percent of women of all ages in this country don't feel they're educated enough to reach their retirement savings goals. For the woman who doesn't know where to start or would like a knowledgeable guide who speaks her language, financial expert Mary Hunt offers a comprehensive but approachable resource for saving and planning for retirement. Whether she feels entitled to retire at age 65, hopes she'll be able to stop working someday, or is convinced she'll never be able to retire, every woman will find real help in these pages. With her signature no-nonsense, energetic style, Hunt assures women that it's only too late if they don't start now. She clearly covers every aspect of retirement planning during every season of a woman's life, giving women the confidence they need to shape their futures.
The wedding day is a time to exchange rings, gifts that symbolize eternal love and care. But when a couple gives each other four gifts of love -- care, protection, honesty, and time -- the rings become even more meaningful. That's because these gifts will guarantee the love of a husband and wife for each other throughout life.Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr., author of the best-selling His Needs, Her Needs, has written The Four Gifts of Love to encourage couples to apply his tried and proven principles to their marriage. By following his advice, couples will create a marriage that grows in love and compatibility.With an attractive two-color interior, this practical, helpful resource makes the perfect bridal shower or wedding gift. Included in The Four Gifts of Love is a gift certificate that expresses the couple's commitment to give each other the gifts of love throughout their married lives.
Bestselling author and marriage expert offers a practical guide to the tools and habits couples need to enjoy a passionate, life-long love together.
Do you long to live a life that is extraordinary? One that shines with joy, compassion, energy, and illuminated faith? Julie Clinton, president of Extraordinary Women ministries, offers you gifts to be treasured—secret gems of godly wisdom that will spark lasting change within you. When days are filled with more ruts than glory, Julie's biblical illustrations, relatable life examples, transforming prayers, and heartfelt journaling prompts inspire you to accept God's personal love; improve and nourish your relationships; be empowered by giving God control of your emotions; connect with your Creator on a deeper level; and move toward your future with contentment and excitement. To light your way, other extraordinary women offer insights, cheers, and motivation. You'll be supported and uplifted each step of the journey so you can reach beyond the ordinary and embrace your exceptional heart and purpose.
Mate selection is the second most important decision we make in life! This decision determines whether our life will be blessed and full of joy or if it will be a painful calamity. If it is a calamity, then it will bring disastrous effects on us, our mate, our children, and our extended family and friends. Who can best guide us through this decision? Parents frequently convey to their children that the only criteria for success in mate selection and marriage are money and education. Parents want their children to excel in marriage, but they give their children no specialized training or emphasis on preparing their lives and being the kind of person who can secure a godly mate and maintain a permanent, lasting relationship. I see churches striving to attract youths and young adults to the church. I see churches challenging youths to be exceptional in their faithfulness to Jesus. I want to see churches teaching teenagers and young adults to be intimate with one another while maintaining sexual purity. I want to see churches teaching youths how to build the skills that will make them an excellent mate and future parent. I want to see churches teaching youths and young adults how to find healing for the pains that are destroying their lives. I see churches teaching that God demands holiness, and I want to see them teaching that holiness is the most enjoyable, beneficial, and only lifestyle that can and will bring permanence to all of our relationships, including marriage.

It's Only Hair
by Phoenix A. Desertsong, Staff Writer, Healer & Advocate
Photo credit: Pixabay, Public Domain
The past few years, girls have been chopping their hair off. It seems to be quite a trend and since 2014 or so, it hasn't stopped. In 2016, Katy Perry did, too, the last one I expected to do it! For the most part, I'm happy to see the positive reactions of super-stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Kaley Cuoco cutting all their long hair off into pixie cuts. They call it the "Short Hair Don't Care" movement, and I really like it. That isn't to say I don't like long hair. I love it. Personally, I've been a short hair girl, for the most part, and I'm happy with it.
Despite all of the positive reactions that these girls get in their "transformations," the initial love for the new styles doesn't always last. It's pretty much been proven that when a girl radically changes her hairstyle, the way she's treated does, in fact, change. Usually, it's not for the better. It's stupid because the individual herself does not change with a new hairstyle... beyond changes in confidence and self-esteem, which can be overwhelmingly positive!
But it's not only hair to many of us females. Hair is often a huge part of our identity. I remember when I was younger my bangs were cut way too short. I did not feel like myself. It took me a few days and a lot of heckling by my peers before I realized, wow, I'm still me, right? Duh.
The problem is that people have become so superficial. But hey, it's really fun to change up your hair. Long hair can get super boring. I've only ever experienced "long" hair as being a bit of an overgrown bob that brushed my shoulders. So, I can't imagine having flowing hair down my back. My hair also doesn't grow well that way. It would become a massive big tangle hanging over my shoulders before it ever did that!
Thus, most of my life I've kept it short, somewhere between pixie-short and messy short. This has often made me not as attractive to a lot of guys - who have often treated me as one of the boys and not a girl to date. But oh wow, in junior high when I started wearing it in a bob, the eyes started glancing at me. And in high school when I let it get a bit unruly and long, I started getting compliments on how great my hair looked from boys and girls alike.
This made no sense to me. I'd rather look tidy and cute than have this mass of hair hiding my beautiful cheekbones and jawline! Fortunately, I had hair long enough for braids and ponytails. I got the "best of both worlds" when it came to that.
In college, I said screw it and cut my hair into a pixie. This is where I became confused, because all of a sudden it seemed like only girls were attracted to me. Not that I minded it. They were beautiful girls, most of whom preferred me to guys. Unfortunately, these relationships rarely lasted.
Fortunately, I ended up finding people after college that were quite happy with how I was. I went back to the bob for quite a while through my post-college days but was careful that it didn't get too long. I got plenty of flirting from girls and guys. But, that's all it was, flirting.
Then one hot summer I went to a really short pixie, while keeping my bangs fairly long. People hated it. Suddenly, I was just not pretty anymore. Even my female boss treated me differently.
To them, it wasn't only hair, it was my identity. That hurt me for a long time.
It also didn't help that had lots of really awful and emotionally abusive relationships where people just tried to feed off of my securities. That just made it all worse.
Then, I met someone absolutely incredible. She was like, you are so smart and amazing. I started just being myself again and recently chopped up my bob because I was sick of it. The reaction? My new partner couldn't stop kissing me.
That's when I got sick...
Without getting too much into it, I came down with a very rare form of cancer. Long story short, the chemotherapy made my hair fall out and I was bald. I absolutely hated it. But the reactions from others were not what I expected at all...
My partner, obviously, was very supportive. But people were telling me how beautiful I looked without hair. It was weird and it's still weird to me. But it gave me a much needed boost to my self-esteem. I was on my death-bed for some time... but I'm still here. My hair has never been quite the same, though.
But I'm here.
Yeah, it's not just hair if you treat it like it's a vital organ. But it is just hair. After having lost it all, I realize that more than ever. I love playing with it, don't get me wrong. Changing your hair is fun and awesome, and can be a major confidence and self-esteem boost for when you really need one. But don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not feminine anymore... and men, when you cut your hair, it doesn't change who you are at all, either.
Don't let anyone tell you what to do with your hair, ever. If they do, they're just trying to steal away your individuality. In that case, it's not only hair. It's about keeping true to who you are!
And even if it's gone, you're still you. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
What are your #HairGoals? Whatever they are, go for them! Be you and never be afraid to express yourself!

Waiting is hard to do. And we're getting worse and worse at it.
We are so used to getting results NOW that asking any of us to be patient is like, well, expecting us wait for a web page to slowly load. As if. About 32% of us will give up on a slow-loading page within just 1 to 5 seconds, according to studies.
Expecting instant results is the new normal.
We stream TV shows on demand, we use apps so we don't have to wait for a cab, or even for a Starbucks coffee. And when we send an email? Sure, we might tell ourselves that we won't hear back right away, but deep down, we feel like we should.
Studies confirm those feelings. A 2016 workplace study shows 70% of people actually expect a response from coworkers within four hours, and about 30% expect a response within one hour.
At The Bagg Group we get how difficult it can be to wait to hear back from a recruiter.
We also know that many take it personally when a recruiter doesn't email back –and that's a terrible thing because it's definitely not personal.
The reason you don't hear back is simply because there's nothing to tell.
When a recruiter has news, they will reach out. And remember, not everybody is working on the same urgent timetable. A hiring manager at a company, for example, could get busy with a lot of different things and end up pushing interviewing candidates for a position lower down on their to-do list.
Be open to opportunity: Whenever you get a call from a recruiter with a possibility of work, check it out even if you're not sure. You could be pleasantly surprised. We know, we've seen it happen so often over our 46 year history! Also, remember that contract or a temporary placement could be a good for right now option.
Good relationships are a two-way street: Your recruiter wants to help you find work. And if you can ever help your recruiter, in turn, by referring someone who may be an excellent candidate for a certain type of opportunity, you'll earn their appreciation. And so will the contact whose name you passed on.
Apply each time you see a position on our job board: Every single resume received by Bagg Pro, Bagg Technology Resources, Bagg@Your Service, Bagg Managed Resources, and Turn Key Solutions is read by recruiters. You can be sure of that. And we do keep resumes on file. Still, we expect –more than that, we urge you — to always look at our job board and submit your application to each job that interests you, every time you see one. You do need to be proactive.
Remember, people read but don't always respond: Keep your recruiter up-to-date, check in every three weeks or so with a very brief email to let them know you're still available. But don't fret about a reply. You can be sure recruiter will definitely read it, take note, and answer if they have an opportunity to tell you about.
Stay active and stay looking: Working with a recruiter is one way to find a job, but as the saying goes, many roads lead to Rome. Networking is hugely important so dedicate time and effort to it. Almost 50% of opportunities happen through networking. If you don't have a lot of contacts, work on making some by joining associations, volunteering, etc.
Recruiters are not therapists: Recruiters' expertise is in finding the right people for a particular job. So stick to work related topics and don't try to make them into a shoulder to cry on or a counselor, in person or by email. All recruiters truly appreciate how frustrating a job search can be, but to do their job — and to help you in the only way they can — they must focus exclusively on your skills, experience, and strengths.
Stay positive: Attitude changes everything. It's an important job-hunting strategy to let go of negative thoughts and keep up your optimism and your confidence up, because that makes you a much better candidate – not to mention a happier person.

Rice-Eccles Stadium, in Salt Lake City, Utah, is the site for a Pac-12 NCAA Football game between the Oregon Ducks against the Utah Utes. Oregon is coming off a 42-21 Pac-12 win over UCLA and the Utes lost a tough Pac-12 game against Arizona State, 38-20. Utah is in a three-way tie for first place in the Pac-12 South and a win would keep their title hopes alive while Oregon is hoping a win would bolster their Bowl Game chances. Kick-off is scheduled for 5:30 pm eastern.
Junior quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Ducks to a double up over UCLA 42-21. Junior wide receiver Dillon Mitchell was on the receiving end of both touchdowns and ended the day hauling in eight passes for 156 yards. Freshman running back CJ Verdell rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown and Senior running back Tony Brooks-James rushed for 75 yards and a TD. It was a solid offensive effort and the win made Oregon Bowl Game eligible.
If Oregon has a weakness, it's the defense. As a unit they allow 392 total yards per game and opponents score an average of 27.6 points per game. The Ducks defense allows teams to convert 40 percent of their third downs, 38 percent of their fourth downs and allow teams to score on 82 percent of their trips to the Red Zone. This season the Ducks defense has recorded 19 sacks, one fumble return for a touchdown, two ppick-sixesand have intercepted 13 passes this season. Maybe the Ducks defense is better than advertised?
Utes quarterback Tyler Huntley left last Saturdays game in the third quarter with a broken collarbone, the Utes defense didn't get the job done and Arizona State smashed Utah 38-20. Junior running back Zack Moss rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown, Sophomore Samson Nacua hauled in four passes for 68 yards and a touchdown and Senior kicker Matt Gay kicked two field goals including a 40 yard boot to round out the Utes scoring. The Utes three turnovers didn't help very much either in the Saturday loss to Arizona State.
The defense didn't play well against Arizona State and over the season Utah has allowed teams to average 314 total yards and teams score roughly 19.1 points per game. Teams convert 32 percent of their third downs, 38 percent of their fourth downs and teams score on 56 percent of their trips to the Red Zone. The Utes defense has two pick sixes, ten interceptions and 21 sacks this season. The Utes defense is for real.
Utes are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.
Utes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
Huntley being out is a killer for the Utes and I don't see how this football team overcomes this. Sure, they could overcome it but I don't think it's a very likely scenario. The Utah defense in general and particularly their Red Zone defense has been very strong, but if the offense can't move the ball, the defense is going to be on the field far too long. The Oregon offense is too good to not keep the Utes defense on the field and I see them scoring at least three touchdowns against the Utes defense. I don't see Utah scoring more than 12 points in this tackle football game. I will be backing Oregon on Saturday.
This is going to be primarily a defensive battle. At least that's how I see it. I don't see a bunch of scoring this Saturday from either team. Maybe 40 points combined and I think I'm being generous. The weather will be favorable for high scoring but these defenses are pretty darn good, so I don't expect many points. I will take the under on Saturday.

Today, Kakao Games announced that Black Desert Online will be switching service providers to Level 3 Communications on April 25, 2018.
Typically, the service provider that an MMORPG utilizes is of little concern to its users, but the North American player base of Black Desert Online has been asking for a change since the game's launch back in 2016. It seems that their requests have finally been acknowledged, and BDO will switch from LeaseWeb to Level 3 Communications at the end of April.
We're ecstatic about this news as an update to the BDO servers was one of the most frequent requests among players on forums and in-game. LeaseWeb has earned a fairly poor reputation among hosting services, and so far it seems like Level 3 Communications is going to be a tangible improvement. We just hope the transition is smooth and players receive a better overall experience.
The post North America to Receive Updated Black Desert Servers appeared first on MMOGames.com.

Before discharging the infant from the hospital, it is helpful to discuss with caregivers specific examples of when to be concerned about serious illness and how they can reach their family physician for questions or concerns during and after normal business hours. Parents should be encouraged to limit exposure of the infant to adults or children who are sick, especially in the first few months of life. It is good practice to ask family and friends to wash their hands before handling the newborn infant to prevent the spread of disease.
Parents can learn to take an infant's axillary temperature, recognize respiratory retractions, identify infection around the umbilicus or circumcision, and tell the difference between normal and abnormal muscle tone. Some normal infant behavior, such as sneezing, hiccups, effortless regurgitation after feeding, the startle reflex, and irregular breathing, can cause concern in parents. Anticipating and discussing these concerns can help put parents at ease.


A recent study has shown that the active ingredient in Viagra (sildenafil) has the capacity to slow the spread of malaria parasites. The study provides a timely reminder of the relevance of 'second medical use' patents and their potential for extending the period in which a substance/composition can be patent protected.
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by blood-borne parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected mosquitoes. As reported by the World Health Organisation, malaria remains a significant global problem given that it impacts approximately 200 million people per year. As a former researcher, I contributed to the development of vaccines that aimed to combat the severity of Malaria understanding full well the impact of the disease, particularly in African children.
The study, published recently in the journal PLOS Pathogens, examines the transmissibility of malaria parasites. In particular, the authors observe that parasite-infected red bloods cells are deformable and have the ability to circulate relatively freely through the body whereas non-deformable infected blood cells can potentially be trapped and cleared via the spleen (the body's blood filter). Deformable infected blood cells, having escaped the spleen, can be taken up and transmitted by mosquitoes after feeding on an infected individual.
The authors determine that a parasite-derived enzyme (cAMP-dependent kinase A) has the ability modulate the stiffness of membranes of infected red blood cells. Blocking this enzyme with known kinase inhibitors, or engineering recombinant parasites having decreased expression of the enzyme, decreases the stiffness of infected red blood cell membranes. This, in turn, increases the ability of the parasite-infected cells to escape the spleen. Thus, an increased deformability correlates with reduced enzyme activity and a decrease in red blood cell cAMP levels.
Sildenafil is a known phosphodiesterase inhibitor which particularly targets phosphodiesterases that breakdown cAMP. Thus, treatment with sildenafil results in increased intracellular cAMP levels. In exploiting this known property, the authors treated infected red blood cells with sildenafil and found that the treatment decreased deformability. This would therefore increase the chance for clearance of infected cells by the spleen.
In practice, treating parasite-infected individuals with sildenafil may be impractical given the unintended side-effects. Further, the treatment would not cure those already infected. Nevertheless, the study provides 'proof of principal' support for the development of new drugs that have the capacity to block malaria parasite transmission by increasing intracellular cAMP levels. Such drugs are likely to form a part of a multifaceted approach for combatting malaria.
Could the use of sildenafil in treating malaria be patentable?
A well understood principle provided by patent law in most jurisdictions is that, where a substance or composition is patented in respect of a 'first medical use', it may still be patentable for a 'second medical use', provided that the second use is novel and inventive.
Sildenafil is, itself, a great example of a compound having a 'second medical use'. The drug was originally developed in the late 1980's by Pfizer for treating cardiovascular diseases and conditions, primarily hypertension. In clinical trials, it was found that the drug had the unintended effect of causing penile erections in male volunteers. This led Pfizer to patent sildenafil for treating male erectly dysfunction (ie. a 'second medical use').
Now it might be the case that another patent application has been filed directed to this new indication in treating malaria. However, the assessment of patentability can be complicated. Without conducting extensive searching or analysis, it would be difficult to confidently conclude that the use of sildenafil for the preventing malaria transmission could be patentable based on the results of the above study alone. The fact that the abovementioned authors have exploited a known property of sildenafil (ie. its use in increasing cAMP levels) will at least increase the inventive step hurdle that would need to be overcome before a granted patent for this second medical use could be obtained.
In Australia, first and second medical use claims, method of medical treatment claims, and Swiss-style claims (which protect against illegitimate manufacture of a substance/composition as opposed to the substance/composition per se) are patent eligible. In New Zealand, first and second medical use claims and Swiss-style claims are patent eligible, but method of medical treatment claims are not.
In Australia, under the previous version of the Patents Act 1990 , Pfizer's patent for the use of sildenafil in treating erectile dysfunction was challenged on the basis that the patent specification did not sufficiently disclose the best method for treating erectile dysfunction at the time of filing. In fact, the best method was introduced into the specification by way of amendment (in the form of a claim directed to the active sildenafil monocitrate) approximately three years after the corresponding application was filed.
The point here is that the 'Raising the Bar' amendments to the Patents Act 1990 increase the disclosure requirements for Australian patent applications while restricting the types of amendments that can be made after the application is filed. Among other things, the threshold for claim support has increased, thus reducing the likelihood of obtaining unduly broad patent protection based on a general description of the invention with little or no exemplification. A similarly increased support requirement is now prescribed by the newly amended New Zealand Patents Act 2013.
In short, a patent specification directed to the second medical use of a substance/composition, if drafted to have a full and complete disclosure should satisfy the higher threshold support requirements of the amended Australian and New Zealand Patents Acts. A properly drafted specification that meets these standards should also meet the standards of major foreign jurisdictions, such as the US and Europe and can be a critical tool for returning investment on the initial development of the substance/composition.
Is there commercial value of 'second medical use' patents?
While it is sometimes difficult to estimate the commercial value of 'second medical use' patents, the sildenafil example shows that protection for a second medical use can be of great significance in extending the commercial life of a patented drug to generate valuable returns.
However, obtaining a patent directed to a 'second medical use' of a known compound/composition won't necessarily prevent generics manufacturers from entering the market with products specific for the previously patented 'first medical use', and the misprescription of generic drugs for the patented 'second medical use'. We have previously reported on the reality of misprescribed generics for patented indications. Thus, from a commercial perspective, the benefit in obtaining a patent directed to a 'second medical use' of a known compound/composition must be weighed against the diminished returns as a consequence of operating in market flooded with misprescribed generics.

Captain Marvel: Trailer #2
The latest trailer for Captain Marvel is here! Brie Larson looks amazing in this role and the mystery surrounding her origins will no doubt be fascinating. We get a great look at the kree, the skrull, Carol's time serving in the air force and Starforce, and, of course, young Nick Fury. Fury also has a scene with a cat and it is…perfect. Endearing. Cute. Show stealing, even! I have high hopes for this movie and am eager to see how it affects the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War Part II.
Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.
This synopsis is pretty basic, but I'm sure that's to avoid spoiling too much. It's my understanding that the film will begin with Carol already having her powers, but not all of her memories. Those will likely be revealed through flashbacks or exposition from characters around Carol. It's unclear how much they'll draw on her comic book origin story. She thinks of herself as a kree, despite being human. She was made into a human-kree hybrid, reborn into someone stronger. But it seems that transformation blocked out a lot of her memories being human.
We know a fair amount about the Kree already thanks to Marvel entries like Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of SHIELD. Speaking of, this movie will also include a younger Ronan the Accuser and Agent Phil Coulson, both of whom I'm looking forward to seeing in their earlier years. As for the Skrull, comic book fans are well acquainted with this notorious race of bad guys who are all the more dangerous with their shape-shifting abilities.
Seems like we'll get a nice mix of scenes on Earth as well as in space. A lot of action, plenty of heart, and the right amount of humor. Seems like this will be a welcome addition to the MCU!
What do you think of the trailer?

ADMA announces new board changes
Woolworths chief loyalty and data officer joins the board to replace colleague Emily Amos
Emma Gray
ADMA has announced a series of board and chair changes across its national and state ranks.
The association confirmed Woolworths chief loyalty and data officer, Emma Gray (pictured), has been appointed to its board of directors to replace her Woolworths peer and general manager of Marketplace, Emily Amos, who has stepped down after four years.
Gray has been in her role at Woolworths for just under a year. Prior to that she was a partner with Bain and Company for 15 years and most recently oversaw its Australian retail and consumer goods practice.
In a statement, ADMA CEO, Jodie Sangster, said Gray's experience in strategy execution, transformation and leadership along with expertise in FMCH, retail, logistics and manufacturing will help the association reach out to sectors less well represented across its membership base.
ADMA has also announced Publicis CUBED managing director, Mike Chuter, as the new chair of the ADMA State Branch Board Advisory Committee, while Adobe's senior account executive for digital marketing, Liz Miller, will now serve as chair for the NSW branch.
The advisory committee provides insights on the future direction of ADMA and also has responsibility for events across NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.
Sangster flagged Chuter and Miller's energy and creativity as assets for the board.
"Mike will be helpful on the creativity front, which is one of ADMA's pillars for customer experience, and Liz will be key on the content front," she said.

Known as one of the greatest NBA players of all time—and the man who popularized the "slam" dunk—Julius Erving shares what he learned from 16 seasons of pro ball, and 30 years of post-basketball life.
Originally my nickname was The Doctor. I was called that by my high school teammate, Leon Saunders, after I called him The Professor. Saunders and I went to college together at UMass, so our nicknames followed. But when I got to the pros, there were already several people in the organization who were referred to as Doc or the Doctor—there was the physician, the trainer, and so forth. So one day the trainer said to me: "Hey listen, you've got to be Dr. J."
My parents are both deceased, so I honor them by introducing myself as Julius, because that's the name they gave me. But I feel very, very comfortable with people calling me the Doctor or Dr. J. That's from the horse's mouth.
The Dunk has always been my signature. It's an impactful play. Sometimes it can be a game changer. Sometimes it's an accident waiting to happen.
The trainer said to me: "Hey listen, you've got to be Dr. J."
My favorite dunks are the bloopers. You see the guy hit the front of the rim and fall on his back. Or he hits the back of the rim and the ball bounces to half court. I was part of a blooper once. Bernard King took out my legs and the ball hit the back of the rim and went flying. I ended up sprawled on the floor. I looked up at the referee and I'm like, "How could that not be a foul?
I play a lot of golf. I wear the biggest glove size they make, Triple X. They're not easy to get. I put my name on a list and ask them to call when the next shipment arrives. Artis Gilmore is a really good friend. He has hands bigger than mine. Whenever he buys gloves, he'll get two dozen and send half to me. Every time I see Michael Jordan, he's always trying to take my gloves. He'll look into my golf bag and be like "I know you got some gloves in there, let me have one." I guess we have our own little big hand society.
I quit at age 39. I knew I was done. But it took about 2 years for my palms to stop sweating when I would watch a game.
When I retired from basketball, I was third-leading scorer behind Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I was in the top ten in blocked shots. I was number one in steals—and there were two years when I was playing in which steals weren't kept as a statistic. Too often, when people talk about lifetime stats, they don't add in the ABA years. It happened to a lot of guys: five years of your statistics get kicked to the curb. Like what, they didn't happen?
A lot of people know me for my scoring, but those other top stats are defensive.
I think the ABA was definitely the forerunner for today's game. The three-point line gave the little guys more of an opportunity because the floor was spread. Teams like the Celtics and the Lakers were known for pushing the ball, but all the teams in the ABA played up-tempo—it was a very exciting kind of game. Much of what the ABA pioneered has been adopted by today's NBA. I'm not sure I miss the red-white-and-blue ball, though.
I always thought one of two things could happen when you take a shot—you make it or you miss it. If you can give yourself the freedom to fail, it builds your confidence and you can play with total enjoyment. I see Steph Curry as a prime example of a guy who enjoys every second he's out on the court. He's working hard, he takes some bumps, and sometimes he misses a bunch of shots. But he's never afraid to take the next shot. He understands that satisfaction outweighs disappointment.
I have an 11 year old daughter, and two sons, 15 and 18, living under my roof right now; my older kids are in their 40s. When you get a second chance, you try to do it better.
"If you give yourself the freedom to fail, you can play with total enjoyment."
You can expose your children to exactly the same things, but they're all going to become different people. That's great, because I don't want them to be me, I want them to be them.
I never forced basketball on any of my kids or my nephews. I wanted them to ask to be taught. When you have a willing participant, who says, "Please, teach me how to play," that's when my eyes light up.
When you're being cheered by the crowd, your mind is totally free of doubt. It's probably one of the things you miss most once you don't get it anymore. You miss that rush.
I'm really focused right now on making Philadelphia's school system better. In some areas of the country, it's almost like we've forgotten the schools and placed our resources instead into the prison system.
I played in the All Star game for 16 years—5 in the ABA and 11 in the NBA. I won MVP a couple of times. There's always a guy in that locker room who is saying to himself, I'm gonna be the MVP today. We used to call it "going for the car," because the MVP always gets awarded a car. This year there are probably several guys who are thinking the same thing. Maybe all of them. Nowadays, everybody wants the car.

Vauriella — род воробьиных птиц из семейства мухоловковых (Muscicapidae). Представители рода встречаются на Калимантане и Филиппинах. Род Vauriella был предложен немецким орнитологом Гансом Волтерсом в 1980 году.

Виды из этого рода ранее относили к роду джунглевых мухоловок (Rhinomyias). Детальное молекулярное филогенетическое исследование 2010 года выявило, что род Rhinomyias является полифилетической группой, поэтому из него выделили монофилетический род Vauriella, а остальные виды перенесли в роды Cyornis и Eumyias.

Классификация
На июль 2021 года в род включают 4 вида:
 Vauriella albigularis

Anyone who knows me, knows that I think there are two types of collaboration – collaboration, the verb, and Collaboration, the noun.
For years, I've made a clear distinction between collaboration— the way humans meet to solve problems and innovate — and Collaboration Software (UC&C), something that business productivity software salespeople sell to IT buyers.
Nearly five years ago, while still an analyst at Forrester Research, I began to postulate that what we knew as the UC or UC&C market would go the way of VoIP solutions (see "Social Enterprise Apps Redefine Collaboration" published in December of 2011). I suggested that UC&C capabilities would continue to be important but would be readily integrated into other business systems and processes.
Current Forrester analyst Art Schoeller has continued on that theme in a recent report, "Say Goodbye to UC; It's Time for Customer-Activated Communication and Collaboration," published June 22.
Schoeller and I both recognize that when UC&C solutions work together, businesses achieve superior results. For a long time, UC and contact center solutions were segregated in two completely different silos, but our industry has seen a shift. Schoeller suggests that this will only continue, and I agree.
UC&C as we know it is a thing of the past. UC&C priorities will continue to mesh into what Schoeller calls "Customer-Activated Communication and Collaboration," or CACC.
Does this mean collaboration will go away in modern business? Absolutely not! What it means is that savvy businesses will not continue to invest in Collaboration (the noun) for collaboration's sake. Collaboration can't be disconnected from value-adding business processes.
Schoeller dives deep into customer engagement examples in his paper, painting a picture of the contact center of the future, which includes engaging customers — not just at the time of sale or service — but as part of the product innovation process.
In fact, Avaya Engagement Development Platform is specifically cited as an example of a forward-thinking way to embed UC&C capabilities into customer-facing processes.
EDP is a software development kit that allows people and businesses to write their own communication-enabled apps based on Avaya infrastructure. EDP helps businesses break down information siloes to share context between applications.
With EDP, we're essentially bringing the consumer experience of an app store to the enterprise environment. EDP provides the building blocks for users to create new, problem-solving applications, which "Snap-In" to Avaya engagement technologies.
Direct-to-consumer video: A consumer products company has enabled video communications between customers and product experts. The experts use this software to advise customers on which products best meet their needs in a lively, engaging manner, directly from the Web.
Automated meeting entry: This EDP Snap-In automatically connects users to audio, Web or video conferences based on their electronic calendar invitations. Customers love being able to join scheduled meetings hands-free and automatically with this "engagement assistant" capability.
Intuitive alarming: This Snap-In recognizes triggers or alarms from non-communications solutions, and then initiates communications, like texts or emails, to alert of the situation. Looking for a real world example? Imagine you're in an elevator, and it stops working. This Snap-In would automatically alert and dispatch repair and rescue business personnel, bringing you quickly to safety.
UC&C capabilities are maturing, and businesses are finding better ways to deliver value by leveraging these mature capabilities and embedding them into customer-facing interactions. The idea of choosing the right medium to engage with coworkers, customers, partners and suppliers is valid.
The future of the market is one where the value lies in the context.

Q: How to load an IFile and modify the same in eclipse plug-in development I have an IFile shows the absolute path as

/dynamic/WebContent/testing.html

I want to make some changes in the above testing.html.
It means I need to load the file, then need to modify it and then save it .
What is the procedure to execute the above steps in eclipse plug-in development.

A: See IFile.getContents(), setContents() and create() methods.
Use getContents to read file into memory, modify it, then use setContents to write it out. That will keep your workspace in sync. If you try to convert to File and use standard Java file I/O, your workspace will be out of sync (requiring refresh) and you will be completely incompatible with other file storage systems used by Eclipse

A: If your file is local try :
import java.io.RandomAccessFile;
RandomAccessFile file = new RandomAccessFile("IFile".getLocation().toFile(), "rwd");

Maintaining your online reputation is an important factor when you want your website to gain popularity and credibility among its visitors and users. You may be working hard to maintain ensure you have a positive reputation online, however, there will be instances when your carefully cultivated prestige is tarnished by negative reviews.
It's extremely normal to get negative reviews on your social media platforms and blogs. I mean, you can't please everyone, or at least not upfront. What you need to learn is how to handle and respond to these negative reviews, so that you can resolve them and quite possibly, turn them into positive reviews. Here are some important tactics to tackle your negative reviews.
Sometimes, when a negative review comes your way, you may feel a little attacked or heated.
When the negative reviews are putting you off, try reading through the positive reviews and see how much others were satisfied with your products and services.
These positive reviews will bring your focus back and will allow you to deal with the negative reviews professionally and calmly.
You can also think of it this way, a negative review is better than no review because at least you can respond to these unsatisfied customers and hope to turn them into a returning one.
A negative review comes from personal experiences of customers who believe that they were't satisfied either by the service or product you've provided.
These often stem from incorrect setting of expectation, either through ads or previous interactions with customers.
Listen to what your customers have to say. Understand their underlying needs and what caused their dissatisfaction. Work on these opportunities to turn their review and impression around.
Oftentimes, a customer dissatisfaction and negative review can be rescinded if you are able to personally talk with the customer and address their concerns.
An important factor to remember when dealing with negative reviews is to keep you cool and stay calm.
When you let negative reviews seep into your calm and control your responses, you might say words that can tarnish your reputation and can become a bad representation for your website. Stay calm, take a deep breath, and get to the bottom of the reason for customer dissatisfaction.
Online presence is vital to maintaining your online reputation. This allows you to monitor the incoming traffic of users and customers, as well as their queries and reviews. Take note that the speed of your response can also has a big impact in customer satisfaction.
This should encourage you to be monitoring your online presence at all times and ensure your customers are addresses as soon as possible.
The main reason why you should maintain an online presence is to monitor and immediately see reviews, positive or negative, especially the negative.
For one, addressing these negative reviews immediately will give you damage control through understanding and resolving customer dissatisfaction right away. This can prevent tarnish to your online reputation when the customer's negative review is turned around. In addition, if you leave the negative review undealt with for a long period of time, the negative reviews may spread to other customers or the situation could escalate, due to your unresponsiveness.
Addressing negative reviews right away will also make a good impression, not only to the actual customer, but also to other potential or existing customers who will watch your action on said negative reviews.
While you can choose whether or not you want to thank the positive reviews given to your products and services, negative reviews are a different story. You should always reply to you negative reviews.
Each negative review comes from a dissatisfied customer who, in most cases, is seeking your attention to address their dissatisfaction.
How you respond to negative reviews, the speed, and the way you deal with their concern can reflect your customer service and your business' image. This can either attract or dissuade potential and existing customers.
There is a good side to receiving negative reviews. When you receive a bad review from a customer, it means you are given the opportunity to improve your processes and products. You should learn to take negative reviews as constructive criticism that can improve your business and online reputation.
Avoid feeling dissuaded when you receive bad reviews. Take them positively and dig further to how you can improve your process and turn the customer's review around.
Each review, good or bad, is an opportunity for your website and yourself to learn online review management and grow professionally. Every time you receive a review, you are given individual feedback from users on how effective your website is – what's working and what's not. Take these feedbacks and use them to become better.
Joel Cordle is CEO of review leap, and a digital marketer. He is serious about his online presence. He likes to be active in social media market so he always keeps himself updated about the strategies used for presence. As he enjoys reading and writing about marketing and online reputation, his hobby is to write different blogs about reviews, ratings, negative feedback, online review management etc. He is a good advisor and he keeps suggesting people about how one can develop his online personality.
With a steady decrease in the amount of face to face communication it's often very easy to misread the tone of what is written, points 2 and 3 address that issue well. If an issue has arisen and can be dealt with the best option is to find a solution and deal with it. The big problem on the net today is the increase in unnecessary negative reviews and over the top comments. The only solution is to police reviewer sections with a no nonsense policy.
I would like to suggest one more thing here is that you can also use online tools to manage your negative reviews.
Good tips guys. I had my first negative review today, so this article was very useful!
Great Article. Its really helpful for me to handle negative review on our company fan page.
