For many people, injuries are a frustrating part of life. Most injuries are minor and, after suffering one, we quickly recover and go about our daily lives – if we're lucky. But some injuries can upend our lives completely, leaving us to deal with the physical, mental and emotional setbacks that they leave behind.
When someone suffers a serious injury because of another person's mistakes, they can take legal action to get compensation for the damages they have suffered. In the legal world, these cases are called personal injury claims.
Who Files a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim can be filed for many reasons. Some of the most common examples include a person who was injured by a careless driver or a person who slipped on another person's property and suffered a serious injury as a result.
The thing that all personal injury claims have in common is that the victim's injuries were suffered because someone else was acting irresponsibly, made a mistake or failed to take reasonable care over their property or actions. In other words, the person who was at fault for another's injuries was negligent, and that negligence caused a serious injury.
After suffering a serious injury, you can face many challenges, including pain, suffering, depression, anxiety and stress. Injuries can also be costly – medical bills, ongoing treatment for an injury or illness, loss of the ability to work due an injury, loss of income due to time off work or diminished work capacity. These costs can be financially devastating. Personal injury claims are a way for the victim to receive financial restitution for the harm they have been caused.
If a person is injured and they believe that someone else's negligence caused their injury, the victim (called the plaintiff) takes legal action by filing a lawsuit against the negligent party (called the defendant). Typically, the defendant retains the services of an attorney who is familiar with these types of cases. The defendant will state the costs of their injuries, including physical, mental, emotional and financial costs, and they will seek to have these costs (called damages) paid for by the defendant.
The defendant can contest the claim against them, in which case the two conflicting parties can either come to a financial compromise (a settlement) or take the matter to court. It will often be up to a jury to decide which side is in the right and how much is owed to the defendant should they win the case. Personal injury claims can be settled quickly or can result in a drawn-out legal fight that takes a long time to resolve.
Medical malpractice claims – A person takes legal action against a healthcare professional who was negligent in the care they provided.
Workplace compensation disputes – A worker can take legal action against an employer or an insurer who doesn't pay a fair amount for an injury suffered on the job.
Product liability claims – A person takes legal action against the manufacturer of a device, medicine or any other product that caused them harm.
Wrongful death claims – The survivors of a fatally-injured victim take legal action against the negligent party.
Personal injury claims, along with all the other claims listed above, must be filed within a certain window of time after the injury was suffered. This time limit is called a statute of limitations, and it varies from state to state. For example, the statute of limitations for a personal injury case in New Jersey is two years, while in neighboring New York, the statute of limitations for a personal injury case is three years.
Hopefully, you will never suffer a serious injury because of another's negligence, but if you do, there are options to consider to help recover damages for yourself or your loved ones.

Any bird expert will tell you, there is no such thing as a cuckoo's nest. The cuckoo is one of the few birds that lays its eggs in another bird's nest and leaves its young to be raised by someone else. Grey Larsen learned the old traditional Irish tune called "The Cuckoo's Nest" when he himself had fallen into a surrogate nest rich in Irish tradition. Larsen learned the tune in Ohio and transcribed it for his unprecedented 450-plus-page tome The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle to be released on November 20, 2003 by Mel Bay Publications.
Beginning in the '50s, a dozen blue-collar immigrants met weekly in Cleveland to play Irish music. Once farmers or coalminers, they came to America for a better life. The Cleveland Irish Musicians' Club was not a public affair, so it was a bit of a surprise in 1974 when a few longhaired Oberlin students appeared.
"When we walked in, there was this stone cold silence," remembers Larsen. "Politically we were miles apart, but once we started playing together, we became great friends." The weekly 40-mile trip to Cleveland was when Larsen—whose CD with Paddy League, Dark of the Moon, will be released on Sleepy Creek Music on November 3, 2003—first began his musical migration to the Irish flute. The cuckoo's nest is like a metaphor for Larsen's own musical rearing, as if dropped into a nest of Irish immigrants and given the task of preserving old melodies and playing techniques.
A highlight of Larsen's new book is the final chapter of 27 transcriptions from some of the most important flute and tin whistle players. Interestingly, both the earliest and latest transcriptions are crooked. The first one, "The Corry Boys" (also on Dark of the Moon), was transcribed from John McKenna's 78-rpm record issued in 1925. "Fire Patrolman McKenna"—as he's listed on the first of 30 recordings he made in his adopted home of New York City—established the flute as a prominent instrument in Irish music. The last transcription is of Grey Larsen's own playing of "The Cuckoo's Nest"—which he learned from Michael Kennedy.
Larsen's book covers everything from history to playing techniques. But the bulk of it is dedicated to ornamentation, a major element of Irish music critical to the flute player's unique expression. These embellishments descend from the Irish bagpipes. Since a bellows powered these pipes, the only way to initiate a repeated note was with a special finger articulation. This led Irish pipers to evolve an elaborate vocabulary of fingered embellishments. This language was inherited by the Irish flute and whistle, and never before Larsen has anyone so thoroughly explained on paper the complete range of these ornaments and how to play them. One chapter is dedicated to the artistry of knowing when to take a breath, since, as the only human-blown Irish instruments, the flute and whistle must create breathing places by thoughtfully omit notes. Larsen combines the highly technical and his spiritual tie to the instrument.


Almost half of UK businesses are failing to use valuable insights from analytics in their HR operations, according to a YouGov survey commissioned by MHR Analytics.
The poll of 500 HR leaders found that 44 per cent do not have a main focus on HR analytics – technology that uses 'people data' to solve business problems.
Yet those embracing big data are seeing business advantages, with 40 per cent stating they use it for regular operational reporting, 29 per cent using it for financial workforce planning, 23 per cent improving the accuracy and simplicity of reporting, and 14 per cent using it to predict employee retention, compliance and workforce growth.
When asked what was preventing HR teams from delivering analytics, 35 per cent said it was not having the right knowledge or skills within HR. Almost a third (30 per cent) said the biggest barrier was the lack of quality of data currently collected in the business.
Smart use of big data is now essential for organisations in every sector who are serious about driving growth. With the right tools, quality data can be collected and used to save time and money.
We wanted to research how HR leaders are switching on to the latest analytics technologies. Using the YouGov results, our HR Analytics white paper reveals the current state of analytics within HR and provides practical advice to help organisations use it to reach their strategic goals. We also reveal the main barriers to implementing an HR Analytics strategy and how to overcome them.
Gaining insights into the performance of the workforce and associated resources enables faster, more accurate decision-making and delivers savings to the bottom line.
The YouGov research conducted by MHR Analytics shows that many UK businesses are failing to equip HR professionals with the analytics tools they need for high quality people and process management. At a time when analytics can play a vital role in managing salaries, payroll and performance measurement, investing in technologies like this can help companies gain the competitive advantage.
MHR Analytics is producing a series of educational videos by Dr Max Blumberg to help HR leaders use people data to make business decisions and create more effective workforce strategies. The videos will be available in the coming months.
Interested in people analytics? We recommend the Mission Critical HR Analytics Summit 2019.

The English in France (1446)
King Henry VI of England (one of the grandsons of Charles VI of France) claimed the throne of France (and quartered the fleurs-de-lis of France with the lions of England on the royal standard) as had his predecessors since Edward III, as descendants of Philip IV of France. The English had real power or influence in Brittany, Normandy, Flanders and Gascony, and actual possession of several coastal garrisons, in particular Calais, where the French inhabitants had been replaced by English. Henry VI came to the throne only seven years after his father had trounced the French at Agincourt; but his cousin, Charles VII, who became king of France in the same year, spent his long reign rebutting the English king's claim to his throne by territorial reconquest and consolidation. The English administration kept a series of records called the French Rolls. On these are recorded royal appointments and commissions in France; letters of protection and safe-conduct to soldiers, merchants, diplomats and pilgrims travelling to France from England and returning, and to foreign legations. There are also licences to merchants to export to the Continent, and to captains to transport pilgrims. As Henry VI's reign progressed, and the English grip on northern France loosened, the French Rolls also increasingly include entries concerning the ransoming of English prisoners.

Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport, and for many fans at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, the reason they fell in love with racing and combustion engines in the first place.
It's fitting, then, that this year's event hosted one of the most diverse and deep fields of F1 machinery ever assembled. Demonstrating all weekend to delight the loyal fans who swarmed the paddocks and lined the entire Goodwood Hill to catch a glimpse of iconic lumps of metal and carbon screaming by, drivers past and present revelled in their responsibilities.
Batches included Modern F1, Masters of Monaco, Grand Prix Greats, and a selection of Michael Schumacher's weapons of choice.
The final F1 demonstration of the weekend was surely the highlight with the likes of Colin Chapman's innovative and controversial Lotus 49B and its huge stilts wing, the beautiful and raw 1997 Schumacher Ferrari F310B – in which he so nearly clinched a title before a controversial collusion with Jacques Villeneuve – and the 2012 Championship winning Red Bull Racing-Renault RB8 all turning heads.
Then, one of Goodwood's most touching moments took place, as Sir Jackie Stewart led a procession of his three Championship winning cars up the hill. Sir Jackie in his Matra-Cosworth MS80-02 followed by his two sons Paul and Mark driving the Tyrrell-Cosworth 003 and Tyrrell-Cosworth 006 respectively (you can see a gallery of that here). As the procession made its way up the Hill, Sir Jackie stopped at Molecomb to present his wife Helen with a single pink rose. A remarkable public showing of love and loyalty.
As we wiped away the tears, current F1 title contender Valtteri Bottas arrived in trails of tyre smoke as he dragged his brakes all the way up the Hill, pulling one-handed donuts and bringing the final F1 demonstration of this remarkable 2019 Festival of Speed to a close.
All weekend the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Lando Norris, Emerson Fittipaldi, Damon Hill and many more have acted as the perfect ambassadors for a sport we all clearly still love, despite a difficult couple of years. If you missed the action, we hope our F1 gallery can do the weekend justice. We already can't wait to see what the F1 community can deliver in 2020.

"We have worked with Sara Chapman for close to 3 years now. She has a unique gift in bringing the best out of the child. She is always positive, creative with endless energy, and brings meaning to little things my son does which means a lot to our son and us. My son's biggest challenges are motor planning and expressing his ideas and he has made great progress with those under her guidance. It's amazing the way she integrates my NT daughter into my son's session naturally. The Parent training component of the program is something that has been very useful to us. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her work."
"Sara's respect for my son is deep and unconditional. She would never try to change who he is, or to "fix" him. When Sara is engaged with my son, she's relying on a great deal of knowledge and experience, working with his interests to help further his emotional and social development -- but at the same time, she is very clearly having fun playing with him. The joy that she takes in interacting with my son is genuine and mutual. From the first day he met her, my son has recognized Sara as a kindred spirit and a true friend."
"Sara has been my son's teacher for the last 5 years and its amazing how she understands special needs children as a whole person, not just their educational needs."
"Sara has a genuine love and care for the children she works with. That love, coupled with a natural gift, builds a bridge she crosses to meet, play, enrich, and better her little friend's life. She's remarkable."

PE-backed Relation Insurance Services buys J. Deutsch Associates
Relation Insurance Services, which is backed by Parthenon Capital and Century Equity Partners, has agreed to acquire New York-based J. Deutsch Associates, an insurance agency. No financial terms were disclosed.
WALNUT CREEK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Relation Insurance Services ("Relation"), an insurance brokerage that offers risk-management, benefits, and TPA-consulting services through its family of brands across the United States, announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement acquiring J. Deutsch Associates, Inc., ("J. Deutsch Associates"), a privately owned and operated insurance agency, for undisclosed terms. The transaction is expected to bring together complementary portfolios and strategically deepens Relation's Education Solutions student health insurance offerings. Additionally, the acquisition expands the company's footprint in the Northeast. The purchase is Relation's first in New York.
"This is a strategic acquisition for Relation's business, as it augments our product offerings and deepens our presence in existing geographic markets," said Edward Nathan Page, President and Chief Operating Officer, Relation Insurance Services. "Jeff and his team bring a wealth of experience in the international student health market, and ISP is a great product that will help us even better support our clients in meeting the needs of international students studying in the U.S. We're also excited to have such a strong platform from which to further develop our operations in the Northeast."
Founded in 1998, J. Deutsch Associates is based in New York City. The company provides insurance to international students and scholars in the U.S. through its International Student Protection (ISP) offering but has also evolved into a full-service brokerage offering business travel accident insurance, group life insurance, basic and voluntary accidental death and dismemberment insurance, statutory disability insurance, short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance. The acquisition is expected to increase Relation's presence and customer-service capabilities in the Northeast, and will also enhance the company's product portfolio in the international student health insurance market.
"Relation's Education Solutions team is a major force in the student health insurance market, and the company shares our passion for legendary service," said J. Deutsch Associates President Jeff Deutsch. "We're excited to be joining the Relation family, as it allows us to continue to expand upon the insurance products and services we can offer our clients."
J. Deutsch Associates and their ISP program have been well-known to Relation Education Solutions' leadership for many years, and in 2018 Relation began working as the claims administrator for the ISP plans, which offer competitive, affordable international student health insurance. The short-term accident and sickness medical plans extend protection to international students, scholars, researchers, and visitors traveling to the United States, as well as to U.S. students studying abroad. J. Deutsch Associate's ISP program, along with the other student-health-related insurance products, aligns with Relation's long-term growth strategy of procuring scalable businesses with significant potential when combined with its current portfolio.
"Combining our consultative approach and breadth of resources with an already strong team will help us grow further in the international student market," said Relation Education Solutions President, Neil Majors. "It was a logical next step to join forces because of the strong international student insurance expertise they'll bring to the table, as well as how closely our businesses and cultures align. We couldn't be more pleased we're taking our partnership to the next level."

ECONOMIC PICK-ME-UP: Analysts watch pickup truck sales for sign of recovery
Published 12:00 am EDT, Sunday, June 20, 2010
NEW YORK (AP) -- If you want a hint about the economic recovery, follow that truck.
Pickups are a kind of rugged indicator of the nation's financial health. When times are good, contractors buy more of them to carry tools around for landscaping and lumber to build homes. Weekend haulers also gravitate to them even though cars get better mileage.
And lately sales have started shifting into a higher gear. Americans bought 151,000 pickups last month, 19 percent more than a year ago. Sales of full-size pickups, especially popular among contractors and builders, grew even faster.
In Lexington, Ky., John Blevins, who runs a heating and air company with eight employees, bought a new Ford F-150 XL pickup earlier this month. He needs it to haul furnaces and water heaters to jobs.
It was the first addition to his fleet of vehicles in four years. Even as his trucks and vans aged during the recession, Blevins let them go unreplaced. Now business is picking up, partly because of tax credits for energy-efficient heating and cooling.
"In the last two to three years, we downsized quite a bit," he said. "We were holding off on buying anything new because we didn't know what was going to happen."
It's not just small businesses. Layton Construction of Salt Lake City, a commercial firm with 550 employees, added about 65 pickup trucks in the past few months. Existing trucks were getting old, and beefing up the fleet reflects a bet that better times are on the way.
"We had some trucks that had 140,000, 150,000 miles on them," spokesman Alan Rindlisbacher said.
Pickup sales peaked at 2.5 million in 2004, when the housing boom was in full swing and homebuilders couldn't get enough of them. Neither could families, who took advantage of cheap gas and easy credit by buying fully appointed trucks with leather interiors and spacious cabs.
Four years later, the economy was teetering, and gas topped $4 a gallon. Pickup sales plunged. They fell further when the financial crisis stuck, credit markets froze and construction work dried up. In 2009, automakers sold 1.1 million trucks, the lowest level in 18 years.
This year, pickup sales have been gaining momemtum. Through May, Americans bought 11 percent more than they did in the first five months of last year and the sales pace has been accelerating.
Ford's new Super Duty pickup, a workhorse geared toward construction companies and other heavy-duty businesses, hit the market in May, accounting for a third of Ford's truck sales. Those sales will probably come down once excitement for the new model wears off.
Sales gains at General Motors and Chrysler, the No. 2 and 3 sellers of pickups in the United States, have been growing, too, although more modestly than at Ford.
Economists also caution that the outlook for the housing industry is far from clear, which means the future for pickup truck sales -- not to mention the economic recovery -- is far from certain, but for now sales are strong.

Marriage and family therapy is a type of psychotherapy used by couples and families to address behaviors within the group that affects their one-on-one relationships and the family as a whole.
This form of counseling can treat a variety of issues, including marital and couple conflict, parent and child conflict, alcohol and drug misuse, sexual dysfunction, grief, distress, eating disorders, weight issues, children's behavioral problems, and issues with eldercare. Some marriage and family counselors may also address existing mental health issues of an individual, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and more, and how these affect the rest of the family members.
In most marriage or family counseling situations, therapists use the first session to gather information about the problem by listening to the thoughts and feelings of everyone involved. This strategy helps marriage and family counselors better understand dynamics between individuals, which may be contributing to the issues they are experiencing.
Marriage counseling participants tend to report improvements in work productivity, co-worker relationships, family relationships, partner relationships, emotional health, overall health, social life, community involvement and more after initiating therapy. In addition, this form of therapy can be very helpful to couples who are considering separation or those who would like greater intimacy and understanding from their partner.
Couples do not need to be married to take part in this form of counseling. The relationship itself has the spotlight in marriage counseling. Also, each partner is expected to pay attention to self-improvement and self-awareness during and after counseling sessions.
Marriage counseling teaches partners to learn more about one another and healthy problem-solving skills. However, the effectiveness of marriage counseling lies in each partner's motivation and dedication to building a healthier relationship.
While attending marriage counseling, some couples may become better listeners, communicators, and even learn to support each other in new ways. Though conflict is quite common in marriage counseling sessions, a good therapist will stay neutral during disputes.
Couples usually attend marriage therapy about once per week, though this may vary depending on the couple's goals and schedule. Some marriage therapists may also offer individual counseling sessions if needed.
Your vocabulary, habits, customs, and even early developments on worldviews are all formed through time spent with your family. If someone is born into a healthy family, they will likely handle their future relationships in a healthy manner. However, if someone is born into a dysfunctional family, they may have trouble connecting with their peers.
This is not a major concern, as all families have some type of dysfunction from time to time. Family therapy is a resource that helps families learn and utilize better habits for a healthier, more functional family unit.
Family therapy is a type of counseling that helps members of the family address issues that affect how the family functions and relates to one another. Family counseling can be beneficial for families who are going through a difficult period, major transition, or mental and behavioral health concerns which may exist among certain family members.
For families to develop healthier habits and relationships, family counselors help them improve their communication, problem-solving skills, levels of understanding, and ability to handle unique family situations which may start conflicts. By employing techniques from cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, interpersonal or other types of individual therapy, marriage counseling helps families work together to solve any mental, emotional or psychological problems that may be tearing the family apart.
When you are choosing your family counselor, you may want to consider your insurance coverage, doctor's recommendations, online referrals, and personal recommendations to make an informed decision.
Seeking marriage and family counseling is an amazing step in the right direction.

Q: Doubt about Lee's proof of Gauss Lemma (first edition) I have a doubt about the proof of Gauss Lemma which appears in the first edition of Lee's book "Riemannian Manifolds: An Introduction to Curvature" (see Theorem 6.8, p.102-103, here).
The proof goes essentially as follows. We pick some arbitrary $q=\exp_p(V)$ in a geodesic ball $U$ centred at $p$ and a vector $X\in T_qM$, which is assumed to be tangent to the geodesic sphere through $q$. Then, since $\exp_p$ in a diffeomorphism onto the geodesic ball $U$, by identifying $T_VT_pM$ with $T_pM$, there exists a vector $W\in T_pM$ (which we imagine as emanating from $V$) such that $(D\exp_p)_V(W)=X$. We then claim that we can pick a curve $\sigma:(-\varepsilon,\varepsilon)\rightarrow T_pM$ such that $\sigma(0)=V$, $\sigma'(0)=W$ and $|\sigma(s)|=\text{const}=|V|$ and construct the variation $\Gamma(s,t)=\exp_p(t\sigma(s))$. We then proceed as usual by showing that $g(\partial_s\Gamma,\partial_t\Gamma)$ is independent of $t$, by proving $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g(\partial_s\Gamma,\partial_t\Gamma)=0$. Note that for $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}g(\partial_s\Gamma,\partial_t\Gamma)=0$ to be true it is crucial that $|\sigma(s)|=\text{const}$.
My problem is: how can we guarantee that we can construct such a curve $\sigma$, which starts at $V$ with initial velocity $W$ and stays on the sphere $\partial B_{|V|}(0)\subset T_pM$, unless we already know that $W$ is perpendicular to $V$? And, unless I am missing something crucial here, we don't know that, because $W$ is merely the preimage of $X$ under the linear map $(D\exp_p)_V$. In some sense the fact that $W\perp V$ is the whole content of the lemma.
What am I missing?

A: Fact: Given any manifold $N$, any $x\in N$, and any $w\in T_xN$, there exists a curve $\sigma:(-\varepsilon,\varepsilon)\to N$ such that $\sigma(0)=p$ and $\sigma'(0)=W$.
Using the fact with $N=\partial B_{|V|}(0),\ x=q$ and $w=W$ then you have the curve. Note that you only need $W$ to be a tangent vector of $T_p\partial B_{|V|}(0)$ for this curve to exist. This is assured by the following facts:

*

*$\exp_p$ is an diffeomorphism from $U'\to U$, where $U'$ is some subset of $T_pM\cong\mathbb R^n$.

*$X$ is tangent to the geodesic sphere $S_p\subset M$ through $p$.

*$W=(D\exp_p^{-1})X$ and $\partial B_{|V|}(0)=\exp_p^{-1}(S_p)$.
Hence $W$ is tangent to $\partial B_{|V|}(0)$.

We are all aging every day. But mostly we ignore, do not recognize, or deny it.
by Stephen C. Schimpff MD February 26, 2018
We are all aging every day, but mostly we ignore, do not recognize or deny it. Then all of a sudden, we look in the mirror and realize that older age has found us. Even then each person deals with aging differently. There is Dr. Seuss' "Cat in the Hat" who sees nothing but adversity in aging. There are others who accept aging but are well aware of the passing of time and the limited time left.
We know that during adult life most organs and functions lose about one percent per year, more or less. This can be slowed in a meaningful way with quality lifestyle modifications to include good nutrition, exercise, low stress, no tobacco, intellectual stimulation and social engagement — and no tobacco.
Only recently has some of the physiology of aging been elucidated with much more to learn. But from what known comes new approaches to extending life, reducing age-prevalent disease and creating what might be called the "longevity dividend."
Most people are not content with lifestyle modifications, finding them difficult to achieve at best. So they would be interested in the simpler approach — a pill.
Metformin and rapamycin are under consideration with a large-scale prospective trial called TAME about to start using metformin given its very low side-effect profile. It may be that a drug to eradicate senescent cells would have a useful effect as might compounds like resveratrol to activate sirtuins. Based on animal studies of parabiosis, infusing plasma from young individuals into older ones might have promise.
But there are others who are not content with just a modest improvement in health and longevity but, instead, are seeking a truly dramatic lengthening of life — perhaps, immortality. Gene therapy to lengthen telomeres with enhancement of telomerase is one current example.
Clearly, aging has become a serious area of study with government grant funding, pharmaceutical activity, even venture capital to encourage entrepreneurs to address innovative concepts all coming into play. We can expect rapid advances in knowledge and multiple attempts to push back the biologic clock.
Does aging imply "diminishment?" One friend sees it that way and offered Robert Frost's "The Oven Bird" as meaningful to her.
There is a singer everyone has heard, Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird, Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again. He says that leaves are old and that for flowers Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten. He says the early petal-fall is past When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers On sunny days a moment overcast; And comes that other fall we name the fall. He says the highway dust is over all. The bird would cease and be as other birds But that he knows in singing not to sing. The question that he frames in all but words Is what to make of a diminished thing.
Aging is a time of transformation, not just diminishment. Yes, aging ends with death, but there is the opportunity for much pleasure, much meaning and much value to self and others during those "elder" years.
For "The Death of Ivan Ilyich," a rather short novella for Leo Tolstoy with only 75 pages, seeks to address redemption even at the very end of life. Ilyich lived his life as many do — ordinary, attempting to be successful, rising to some degree of status and comfort but achieving nothing of great value. "Ivan Ilyich's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." He has scrupulously avoided thinking about his ultimate death and instead focused on the less important superficial issues of life. Now, at just age 45 with an illness that assumes death is near, he must come to terms with the meaning of life.
As reviewed in the Wall Street Journal by Jordan Smith, "while death might be as inevitable as taxation, a poorly lived life is a choice." Ilyich has squandered his life; now he recognizes it and begins to come to terms just before death. He has a servant that is his new inspiration, "humble, poor, devout and selfless. His material poverty contrasts with his spiritual richness." He is the polar opposite of Ilyich.
Perhaps the science will advance so that telomere reconstitution is a practical reality, that the DNA epigenetic changes can be reversed, that senescent cells can be eradicated, that the free radical damage to mitochondria can be dismantled, that the microbiome can be altered back to a youthful status. Perhaps metformin, rapamycin or resveratrol will have a significant impact. Perhaps.
But for now, it might be a more fruitful and meaningful personal use of time and endeavor to consider what the normal aging process means, not only physically and mentally but also spiritually and consider adjustments to lifestyles, behaviors and thought processes that will help usher in a productive and meaningful and hopefully healthy later years.

You can suppose for any music fan, that the idea of appearing on the BBC's long-running radio programme, Desert Island Discs, would be a bit like winning the lottery.
If you had to pick just eight records, eight songs to be marooned with on a desert island then what you choose?
Some timeless classics maybe? Some sure-fire songs that never ever let you down? Something intensely personal, something that reminds you of a particular time or place or a special person?
Maybe you'd pick your current favourite song. Maybe you'd risk that; picking something that- although you love it at the moment- you're not entirely sure if it would be something you'd want to be stuck with for years and years. Would you pick it at the expense if something else?
And this gets to the crux of it all. It's not what you'd pick, but more about what you would leave out.
After all, if you could pick only eight tracks, then there'd be so, so many you'd have to drop. That's bad enough, but what about those great tracks you'd just overlook, those you'd forget about?
You'd have had your hour or so recording with Kirsty Young, reminiscing about things and patting yourself on the back in that smug way about how all your selections were so cool, only to step outside and realise you had completely forgotten some impossibly great jazz tune that you should have put in there. To make it worse, one of your eight selections was by Muse. You'd done it for a bit of a laugh, but now you feel slightly daft.
Muse. Bloody Muse. That one backfired.
Whichever way you look at it, picking eight songs is an impossible task. You'd never be able to get it right.
So if that call ever comes through from the BBC, think very hard about it. You'd really be on a hiding to nothing.
Still, it doesn't harm to idly daydream about what tracks you'd share with the nation, if you ever had the chance.
Five albums in nearly thirty years doesn't exactly strike one as prolific.
That's what The Breeders have managed to do since their debut, Pod, way back in 1990. This latest one, All Nerve, makes their output just large enough to count on the fingers (and thumb) of one hand.
But as we all know, life has a way of getting in the way of things and plans. No more so than for The Breeders; drug busts, drink problems, rehab, side projects (and side projects of side projects) and Kim Deal moving back to Ohio to care for her ageing parents randomly conspired against them.
All of the above got in the way of things. Like some intense cosmological event that we barely understand, The Breeders very nearly collapsed, yet teetered on the brink, wobbled slightly and are back in 2018 with a brand spanking new album.
And what a record this is.
There's eleven tracks, none of which last more than four and half minutes and most of them clock in under that classic three-minute rule for a perfect pop song. Less is more and sometimes that succinctness is exactly what you need.
They seem to have boiled everything down to the sheer essence of what is needed in 2018. Stripping away all excess baggage is what they're about.
After reuniting in 2013 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Last Splash, they've been working away at new songs, recording (again) with Steve Albini in Chicago, Mike Montgomery in Kentucky and Tom Rastikis in Ohio. Quietly and under the radar somewhat, but what they've come up with is magnificient.
Opener Nervous Mary (engineered by Albini) has a disturbing and understated feeling of dread 'she ran for the exit/ but never got away' – a low thrumming bass and chiming guitars make for an uncomfortable start to the album. But fear ye not; there' a cheery 'Good morning!' as we're taken into the buzzy second track, Wait in the Car, all classic Deal vocalizing. This is a song that demands to be stuck at the beginning of every playlist or mixtape that you'll ever throw together from now on in.
You just know that a track called MegaGoth is going to be good- and it is. Deal's half tongue-in-cheek spectral voice summons up the ghost of the Sisters of Mercy and rightfully slaps it right out of the park.
And there's more- something that makes your writer love this album even more. Howl At The Moon features Courtney Barnett on backing vocals. It's got that toe-tapping quality that's redolent of the swooniness of Throwing Muses at their best.
The album concludes with the very dark Blues at the Acropolis; a meditation on tramping around ancient monuments 'Drunks take a piss/ where heroes once bled out.' Now this song may only last a shade over two minutes fifty seconds but in many ways it sums up what this record is all about. It's an epic. Why spend ten minutes to say something that you can do better in less than 180 seconds?
Alela Diane's 5th album finds her looking at life with a different standpoint, that of being a mother.
Diane herself says that the songs on Cusp 'were written though the lens of motherhood.' Not that this makes Cusp a sort of aural photo album, but rather a further insight into the mind, feelings and life of Diane as an artist.
She's no stranger to exploring her emotions through her music: her About Farewell album delved into her divorce from her then-husband and bandmate Tom Bevitori and laid out her heart for all to see. There is a certain bravery involved in allowing strangers to read through your diary in this way that not everyone possesses.
In Never Easy, Diane reflects on her own uneasy relationship with her mother and how she's now able to view this relationship from a fresh perspective as a mother herself, while Émigré is her reaction to the image of Syrian child refugee Alan Kurdi's poor lifeless body washing up on a Turkish beach.
Cusp is not a light album and these songs connect to big issues in a person's life. But the music is never maudlin and the album is never hard going.
There's a new Brian Fallon album out and it sounds just exactly like a Brian Fallon album should sound. The Gaslight Anthem frontman does Springsteen-esque American rock. That's what he does and he does it brilliantly. There's no mystique, no pretence at being clever or even any attempt to shift his style. It's just a new set of storming tunes that sounds just like the last lot.
And, as with death and taxes, that certainty, that stability, in these shifting times when we can never be sure what's for real or not real is a kind of comfort. It's reliable, it's been done before and it'll be done again. Like your Mum's corned beef hash or your Auntie's shepherd's pie. It's easy to digest and not challenging. But you're always drawn back to it. You love it.
Fallon's voice is powerful. It shouts and screams at times, but mostly it is the perfect rock, melodic, anthemic accompaniment to the lazy guitars and drums that make up most of his work.
It's poetic too. His songs tell stories; 'I wanna sleep alone/We ain't kids any more' and 'There's lightning in my veins' and they paint pictures in your head. That's a skill for any writer of a three- minute rock song.
A New World is cheery-melancholic surprise, a curious reworking of Roger Whitaker's New World In The Morning. Unexpected, yes. But oh, so very Lawrence.
Good Tiger are an interesting beast to get to grips with. A super-group of sorts but not in that horrible kitschy rock band way.
Formed from the remnants of UK prog-metal band The Safety Fire on guitars, ex-TesseracT temporary vocalist Elliot Coleman, and ex-The Faceless drummer extraordinaire Alex Rudinger, this is not your Dad's supergroup. This is a band completely without ego or arrogance and what comes through very clearly is their need for expression and an earnestness that is sorely missing in a lot of modern metal.
Their previous release A Head Full of Moonlight was one of our favourite releases from 2015, it was fun and punchy, and the band have somehow stepped it up a few notches in all areas for their new album We Will All Be Gone which was released this month.
Seriously, these are top-tier musicians, and this is song writing at its most profound and elegant. Vocalist Coleman has easily one of the biggest vocal ranges and best voices in modern metal, and it is put to excellent use in Good Tiger, where it had felt squandered in his time in TesseracT. Whatta set of pipes.
The rest of the band are just as well-rounded with those open riffs and tight rhythms. Special mention to the unexpected and soothing vocal cameo of guitarist Derya 'Dez' Nagle in closing track I'll Finish This Book Later, the perfect accompaniment to Coleman's highs.
This is a more refined and mature beast than the Good Tiger we heard previously. The band have opted to strip back some of the heavier elements we heard on Moonlight in favour of a more consistent sound, which is not to say the album is without it's mosh-worthy moments, there are plenty to go around.
We're eased into opener Hi a Skoellyas Liv a Dhagrow with an echo, and swept up by soaring synths, Gwenno's voice quiet and girlish yet ever confident.
We're charmed by birdsong, then advised caution by discordant piano and authoritative drums on Den Heb Taves (A Tongueless Man), a desolate story of isolation.
Title track All These Worlds Are Yours is the one that maybe pushes the point home the best, but the first single taken from the album, Heard Her is a close runner up. It's the kind of Radiohead style alternation between crashing backing and then pauses for the vocal bits which then give way to more crashing which suggests Ferm is not unfamiliar with the structure of, say, Creep.
There's hardly an independent label's success story more credible than that of XL Recordings – the umbrella to the likes of Adele, Radiohead, Frank Ocean and all rest revealed to us through the six or so albums the label releases each year.
The original brain behind the outlet was Richard Russell with an aim to release dance records. The rest, they say, is on Wikipedia.
Russell has assembled his breed of the new artists from Sampha, Ibeyi to Kamasi Washington for this XL Recordings party, Everything is Recorded. The assemblage does evoke from recent memory works like Gorillaz' Humanz with its parade of guests – though Russell manages to execute the idea with more album-esque cohesiveness, as the record does remain consistent with tone and concept.
The concept is to mix these new musical heroes with samples of past legends just as Sampha does his thing next to Curtis Mayfield's samples on Close But Note Quite. Although, for us, the true ride only starts from Wet Looking Road with its Dilla's Donuts reminiscence till Cane which must be one of Ibeyi's most gorgeous ballads. However, Bloodshot Red Eyes with Green Gartside and Infinite takes the prize with Sampha and Syd's Show Love running a close second.
It is an ambitious project to begin with and regardless of its minor failings is a must check for someone who loved Sampha's Process and similar stuff, and a must have for an XL Recordings fan – for it is a one of a kind artefact.
Caroline Rose's debut album, I Will Not Be Afraid, was a great blend of pastoral folk, Americana and blues. Tracks such as American Religious, the Dylan-esque Red Bikini Waltz and Back East showcased her talent as a spit and sawdust troubadour.
Rose's new album, Loner, is far removed, delving into a more alternative headspace. Given Rose could have easily made further inroads through the folk genre on the back of I Will Not Be Afraid, it's a surprising illustration of shapeshifting.
Loner is black comedy gold. Rose's quick wit is ever-present, with capitalism the major theme which she picks apart with aplomb.
There's a fine juxtaposition between words and sound. Rose's messaging is indiscernibly barbed while sonically, there's a playful electro-pop aura laced with small doses of rockabilly. Tracks such as Money and Bikini are perfect examples of her skill in this area.
The Soft Moon is American post-punk, darkwave and industrial artist Luis Vasquez and he has been producing some mighty noise for nearly ten years now. His latest release Criminal is a dark slab of industrial and minimal wave that growls and spits with sonic venom.
Right from the off we know exactly where Vasquez is taking- or rather dragging us- and that is into the boiling pit of some visceral electronic hell. Opener Burn flares into life with chainsaw guitar riffs and squally synths reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails. Choke and Like a Father continue this, evoking Trent Reznor on his Broken and Fixed EP's.
Darkly hypnotic throughout Criminal confronts Vazquez's abusive childhood and it is a journey into the heart of darkness. He flirts with industrial and EBM constantly with tracks often grinding and decaying into shrieking electronics.
Another impeccable release from Karl Records in Berlin of a hidden classic of electronic music, this remaster of a piece first commissioned by the Shah of Iran is the audio aspect of one of Xenakis's Polytopes – site-specific and multimedia compositions involving sound, lights, performance and architectural space.
Concepts of harmony, melody and rhythm, although present, are secondary to architectural concerns of form and density. You'd imagine that this would give the music a cold, abstract quality but in fact the reverse is the case. This concentrated slab of complex sound is enthralling, invigorating, visceral, even terrifying.
The original commission was for realised in 1971 at the archaeological site of Persepolis in Iran. In his earlier multimedia polytopes Xenakis had designed and built pavilions as part of the performances.
As this was impossible on this sensitive ancient site, he reshaped the space by spacialisation of sound (8 channels distributed through 59 loudspeakers), bonfires burning in the distance, parades of children carrying torches creating patterns on the surrounding hillsides and crucially, two lasers and an array of 92 spotlights. The piece is all about light- light in the ancient Zoroastrian sense as symbolising life itself.
When the 8 tracks were first mixed down to stereo for release on vinyl in 1972, Xenakis added the subtitle "We bear the light of the earth".

I am a Herbalife distributor, but am currently sending back inventory and resigning from the company.
My husband and I spent over $8,000.00 in this business through inventory, promotions, "trainings", travel, and marketing. We blame ourselves for our ignorance, but feel that it was the obligation of Herbalife International and our upline support, to inform us of all the costs. That means the marketing costs, and before having us sign on the bottom line.
Herbalife᾿s promotional materials are clever. The costs are in the decision packets behind all the wonderful testimonials, but the numbers were either played down about costs and/or overinflated for profits. It is our fault for not reading everything more carefully.
We don᾿t even have the means to go up against Herbalife, even if we could prove false disclaimers. How clever is that?
When we first thought about backing out of the business, when hidden costs started to surface, we asked our upline. Big mistake. We asked if we could get our money back. But we were told, "No" or "I don᾿t know". Uplines need your monthly HAP order commitment, to get the commissions to cover their own costs.
We then asked Herbalife Distributor Relations for our money back. They said, "No".
So we went forward and worked harder, thinking, "It will work, it will work". And that all we needed to do was improve ourselves. You see we felt it was our fault, when things didn᾿t work out.
But I was not getting results and our marriage was falling apart.
We were having trouble selling and recruiting. We poured our hearts into personal development. I even started to have anxiety attacks over finances. Our monthly business meeting felt more like a confessional, than a business discussion. There was nothing professional about it. Just talk about hard times and personal stories. And everyone was high on "personal development tapes". I really felt emotionally trapped.
We are good people and we wanted to believe that there might be a better way to make a living. We wanted out of the "rat race".
We finally closed it all down. At last I got the correct information about product return, but our savings is gone and we are starting from scratch again. And it seems that we were no big loss. Our upline didn᾿t even care. But they sure cared when we had the money!
So now we eat humble pie. We are definitely looking at EVERYTHING now before leaping.
My advice to anyone considering Herbalife is: don᾿t fall for the emotional testimonies. And don᾿t allow your money to fly away the way we did. Be smart and research all the facts independently by yourself first.

Mitchell Report: The Lineup
Bonds, Clemens among dozens fingered in MLB steroid probe
https://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/mitchell-report-lineup
DECEMBER 13--Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Miguel Tejada, Gary Sheffield, Andy Pettitte, and Paul Lo Duca top the list of baseball stars fingered today as users of performance-enhancing drugs in the bombshell investigative report issued by George Mitchell, who has spent the past 20 months probing the widespread use of steroids and other banned substances in the sport.
Included among the dozens of other current and former ballplayers identified in the Mitchell Report as users of either steroids, human growth hormone, or other banned substances are John Rocker, Lenny Dykstra, Mike Stanton, Denny Neagle, Chuck Knoblauch, Eric Gagne, Mo Vaughn, Benito Santiago, Jason Giambi, Matt Williams, Rondell White, and Kevin Brown.
Click here to download a PDF copy of the entire Mitchell Report.
Deprived of a Serpico-like source among the Major League ranks, Mitchell, a former U.S. Senator and federal prosecutor, relied heavily on information provided by a pair of key sources: Kirk Radomski, a former New York Mets clubhouse attendant, and Brian McNamee, who once worked as a New York Yankees strength coach and personal trainer for Clemens and Pettitte.
Additionally, Mitchell's investigators were provided information gathered by federal and state agents who have probed the notorious Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO), as well as a nationwide steroid distribution ring that has been probed by the Albany, New York district attorney's office.
According to the report, McNamee told Mitchell that he began injecting Clemens with steroids in 1998, when the pitcher was with the Toronto Blue Jays and that the athlete's performance "showed remarkable improvement." In subsequent years, McNamee said, he also injected Clemens with human growth hormone and testosterone at the athlete's New York City apartment.
McNamee also told Mitchell that, at Pettitte's request, he injected the Yankees pitcher with human growth hormone in 2002, when the lefthander was on the disabled list with an elbow injury. Like Clemens, Pettitte declined Mitchell's request to meet with him.
McNamee, 40, is an ex-cop who recently began cooperating with federal investigators after being confronted with evidence that he received steroids from Radomski and was apparently acting as a "sub-distributor." The report notes that he has been "debriefed extensively by federal prosecutors and agents," who confirmed that McNamee's statements to Mitchell were consistent with those information previously provided to government investigators.
While working for the Yankees in October 2001, McNamee was questioned by Florida cops in connection with the alleged sexual assault of woman in a St. Petersburg hotel pool. The woman claimed the attack came after she unknowingly ingested GHB, the so-called date rape drug. Prosecutors later declined to press charges against McNamee, who cops said was found naked in the pool "thrusting himself" into the groggy woman.
The report notes that San Francisco Giants trainer Stan Conte told Mitchell of an incident in August 2002 when a player approached him and said he was considering obtaining steroids from Greg Anderson, Bonds's personal trainer. Conte said he lectured the athlete about the health dangers of steroids and then reported the incident to Brian Sabean, the team's general manager. Conte said that he told Sabean that, "he was concerned that Anderson might be distributing steroids to Giants players."
Sabean told Mitchell that he did not confront Bonds or Anderson, or report the matter to the Commissioner's Office. Instead, he asked Conte to "check out" Anderson's background. Sabean acknowledged that if he had insisted on Anderson's ouster from the team's clubhouse, "Bonds would have vigorously objected." It was not until Anderson was subsequently implicated in the BALCO probe in late-2003 that the Bonds crony was barred from Giants facilities.
Another Bonds personal trainer, Harvey Shields, told Mitchell that Anderson provided Bonds with a "cream to use on his elbow" and a clear liquid that the athlete ingested by placing drops under his tongue. Shields, who said that he believed the substances were an "arthritis cream" and flaxseed oil, added that he had entered into a 2006 confidentiality agreement with Bonds that, a footnote reports, "precluded him from disclosing certain information to our investigation." Investigators believe that Bonds used BALCO designer steroids nicknamed "the cream" and "the clear."
Giants owner Peter Magowan told Mitchell that he asked Bonds about steroid usage during a February 2004 telephone conversation. Bonds replied that, "when he took the substances he did not know they were steroids but he later learned they were." Bonds, Magowan recalled, said he only used the substances for a short period of time and that they "didn't work."
Two days after Magowan's interview with Mitchell, the team owner's lawyers called to say their client "misspoke" when saying that Bonds had "later learned the substances he had taken were steroids." The home run king, of course, was indicted last month on perjury and obstruction charges for allegedly lying during a December 2003 appearance before a federal grand jury. During that session, Bonds repeatedly denied taking steroids or obtaining performance-enhancing drugs from Anderson.
The 311-page report, which was released this afternoon minutes before a news conference by Mitchell, is supplemented by 32 pages of exhibits, including canceled checks, Express Mail receipts, and handwritten notes. The document is highly critical of baseball officials--from the commissioner's office down--and players union leaders for doing little to stem the rampant use of performance-enhancing substances during a period in which suspiciously bulked-up sluggers have toppled home run records and aging pitchers have magically regained their youthful form (and fastball speeds).

One of the advantages Upper Hill has over the rest of Nairobi is that it has room for growth and change. The country already recongizes the transition from residential to the now financial hub, however, we cannot afford to rest easy when there are growing threats of our organized little district. Last year, UHDA organized a brainstorming session whose ideas we have been manifesting. One of the ideas included an activity which would bring together different sectors and organizations in Upper Hill for a good cause. We held an inaugural clean up in January which was followed by another in March. We have written on the highlights from the cleanups in our latest edition of UHDA Newsletter.
The second clean up exercise was a success . This time round we had our partners; Kibera Sub- County and Dagoretti North Sub- County and our sponsors; Africa Re, Crowne Plaza Nairobi,West Breeze Hotel and CIC. In addition our participants included; NTSA, Teachers Service Commission, Mwalimu National, KASNEB, Equity Bank, Kilimani Project Foundation, World Bank Group, Upper Hill School, Baha'i Faith, Walker Kontos, UAP Old Mutual, Kenya National Library Services, Lordship Africa, CBA and Mr. Environment Kenya.
Thanks to the over 350 people who showed up to sweep, pick litter, clear bushes and tall grass, 14 tonnes of litter was collected in the two hour exercise. We also raised awareness on the impact of littering in our community. We hope to be addressing this issue is a more sustainable manner.
On 20th January 2017, UHDA in partnership with the Nairobi City County organized the first ever community cleanup in Upper Hill. The inaugural community cleanup registered a success after over 300 people from 12 companies and institutions showed up ready to clean Upper Hill. The activity was aimed at cleaning Upper Hill and promoting social cohesion among the private and public sectors in Upper Hill area.
UHDA particpated in Kenya Alliance of Resident Association's (KARA) business expo and conference that was slated on 25th- 27th November 2016. The event was designed to uniquely blend businesses with Residents Associations for mutual benefit as well as offer an opporunity for participating sponsors, partners and exhibitors to interact with invited groups and the general public.
The need to change the conversation about Upper Hill and promote its positive image, saw many marketers, letting agents and PR professionals come together for a brainstorming session. The breakfast meeting sponsored by Britam and Kasneb was held at Crowne Plaza where ideas were shared on how we can all improve the image of Upper Hill.
From the meeting, UHDA will be executing the most practical ideas to ensure that the conversation about Upper Hill changes.
This year's Stakeholders' forum took place on 12th April 2016 at Nairobi Club. Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) gave a presentation on phase 2 and the missing links (the presentation is currently available here download.They requested for our cooperation especially in surrendering of land to create enough road corridors for the expansion. ……..

can the house be adjusted to be less in depth?
is there another plan like this without a 2nd story? Is it possible to turn the so it faces a different way and connects to the house at a drop. Our lake lot requires the house to sit lower than the garage but we would still like it attached somehow. Also, we want a finished workshop under the garage. Any suggestions?
Good day Ms. Kuiper and thank you for your interest in our plans.
Of the similar plans, the links for which you will find on the right hand side of this page, there are none that have all of the features that you are looking for.
We offer a customization service and would be happy to return a free estimate for the changes needed to make this plan conform to your specific requirements within two business days after receipt of this on line request.
Can this plan be modified??? Do no want second floor rooms for house. Instead would have bedrooms bath & rec room in basement. Would keep the living area above the garage though.
Good day Mr. Helinga and thank you for taking the time to write.
We will return a free estimate for the changes to the plan in the two business days following receipt of your form.
Thank you for your interest in Drummond House Plans and thank you for your comment.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions on any of our plans.
