Start me up: James Conner is the starting running back for the AFC in Sunday's Pro Bowl.
But in his mind, he knows he has a long way to go. As a matter of fact he isn't even referring himself as the Steelers starting running back for next season, knowing it's something he has to earn.
"Any time I get satisfied or comfortable and think I arrived, that's when I decline," said Conner. "I've got to earn it every year. Nothing is given to you. There is no label. I am not the starter this year. I have to earn that. I will earn it in training camp. That's what we'll do.
Conner said he is looking forward to working with new running backs coach Eddie Faulkner, who he has had a chance to speak with. And the plan is, to work on every aspect of his game.
Brotherly love: Maurkice Pouncey is accustomed to playing in the Pro Bowl, but being there with his twin brother Mike Pouncey, the center for the Los Angeles Chargers, is something special. The Pouncey brothers have about 50 friends and family attending the festivities and game, which is only about 30 miles from where they grew up in Lakeland, Florida.
A big thank you to my teammates, coaches, and all the fans. Honored to be here. I love y'all!

My Mother has a collection of special teacups and just recently asked me what she should do with them... Of course my first thought was to make a pretty display with them like the one above. But a GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH made me realize there are so many wonderful things she could do with them! Here are teacups as birdbaths, candles, lamps, planters, pincushions (this one by the wonderfully creative Mimi Kirchner), cupcake and dessert holders, wineglasses and last but not least costumes! Anyone else care to add to the ideas???
This truly delightful paper collage is from Poland, and was created in the early 1930's. It shows a bridal couple and bridesmaid. Researching the folk costume reveals that it is from Warsaw. How wonderful that the artist used photos for the faces, along with printed papers for the clothing. I adore the flowers around the couple as much as the costumes.
Lori Ann Blethen creates these glorious and edible cakes that look like they are freshly picked from the garden. Each blossom is hand made from gum paste, and then hand colored with pigment powders and watercolors. The woven baskets or decorated boxes, also edible, encase the cake, while the flowers become the decoration. Watch this Video for a indepth view of her process and techniques. Who wouldn't LOVE a cake like this on their table???
Oh my gosh, here is a Class I would LOVE to take, on how to make 'Historic Sugarwork and Confectionary' given by Ivan Day of Historic Food! Just look at this flower bouquet, it's made from a special cake decorating technique called pastillage, and those fruit are handcrafted from almond paste! If I hadn't of told you, would you have guessed??? The baskets have been molded out of sugar from centuries old designs. The last drawing is a design for a 'pastillage pièce montée' in the form of a putto in a chariot being drawn by a hunting poodle (watercolour 1820s). This websight is full of wonderful photos, images and inspirtation sure to whet your appitite and make you wish for a meal a few centuries back... or a trip to England!!!
Definition: (from French, literally "assembled piece" or "mounted piece," plural pièces montées) is a kind of decorative confectionary centerpiece in an architectural or sculptural form used for formal banquets and made of materials such as confectioner's paste, nougat, marzipan, and spun sugar. Although the ingredients were typically edible, their purpose was purely decorative and they were often not really meant to be consumed.
What are your food fantasies???
These delightful illustrations were in Cleo Papanikolas 'image books' seen while taking her class last weekend. The top one has a lady made out of paper doilies! Marie Antoinette Cakes anyone???

Almost 700 DWP staff are taking part voluntarily but the minister said hybrid working would allow 'retaining skills' | Aici
Credit: StartupStockPhotos/Pixabay
Nearly 700 civil servants at the Department of Work and Pensions have accepted voluntary redundancies in a wave of office closures, according to the department.
But Social Mobility Minister Mims Davies said using the hybrid working model would allow the department to maintain core competencies.
Of the 8,400 staff affected by the closure of more than 40 DWP offices, around 685 have received severance packages so far, Davies said.
The figures indicate that the majority of workers who have been offered voluntary redundancy have so far accepted it. About 800 offers were made over the summer, after the office closure program was announced in March.
A further 430 civil servants are still at risk, Davies said in a letter to parliament's Work and Pensions Committee. These figures appear to be in line with the second round of voluntary suspension offers announced in November.
Officials must be given the option to receive a salary in retirement if there is no other office to which they can move within the maximum distance specified in the contract. A total of 28 of the 41 closed offices have suitable alternative housing in the neighborhood, Davies said.
Around 80% of those affected by the move are set to move to another DWP site near their original office – with Davies saying there are some who have agreed to go "outside the move". agreement". All these have been proposed for the organization of hybrid work.
"This is a strong demonstration that hybrid working supports the retention of DWP's expertise and capabilities and offers a more flexible and adaptable workplace to meet the needs of our staff and customers," the minister said.
As of November 15 – the latest count – 5,200 staff have moved to other DWP sites, taking their jobs with them. A further 256 have taken up new roles elsewhere in the DWP or in other government departments.
Campaigners argued that the closure of the office, which was announced in March, would have a negative impact on services offered to people seeking benefits or other services.
MPs on the work and pensions committee have questioned plans to close Phoenix House, a job center in Cumbria that is home to a team of specialist welfare workers. people who have suffered injuries at work such as those caused by exposure to asbestos.
The PCS union, meanwhile, said it came at a time when the DWP was struggling to recruit staff in "understaffed" areas such as personal independence pay, child maintenance and pensions. .
In his letter, Davies said the changes would have a "significant impact on our people" but reiterated the DWP's assertion that "this is not about downsizing".
The property divestment program will reduce "capacity more than," he said – noting that while the department needs space for around 90,000 employees, its portfolio of buildings has place for 158,000.
He said moving away from less energy-efficient buildings would make the DWP's assets more sustainable and better to work with, and consolidating some back offices into larger buildings would save money and be more efficient. more.
The program is set to save £3.5bn in capital savings over 30 years, saving between £80m and £90m a year from 2028-29, he said.
He added: "Retrenchment will be a last resort when all efforts to retain, train and retrain colleagues, whether within the DWP or other public services in the region, have been exhausted."

Is There an 80-85% Rule of Review?
The average share of time across a variety of journals appears to be fairly consistent
A question recently piqued my interest — in general, how much of a journal's "submission to publication" process is consumed by ultimately favorable editorial and peer review? That is, if it takes 100 days to get an acceptable paper through to publication, what proportion of that time is consumed by the editorial review and peer review process that ends up accepting that paper?
This doesn't address the review that leads to rejection and resubmission, but only editorial and peer review that leads to publication. How much of the time from submission to publication does favorable peer review require on average?
Examining submission, acceptance, and publication dates from a dozen journals — 11 from Nature and, as an external benchmark, PLOS One — comprising more than 6,000 papers across a variety of fields, business models (subscription and Gold OA), and architectures (traditional journals and megajournals), it looks like favorable editorial and peer review consumes on average 80-85% of the time from submission to publication.
There is a wide range of normal, of course, from five days to 1,698 days, and from 10% to 98% of the total time to publication. But averaging everything together, the range of 80-85% is where these review processes settle.
This is something I didn't know before, and it seems to have a bearing on efforts to speed up publication cycles. Editorial and peer review is something authors and readers value and expect. Reviewers are volunteers, are harder and harder to find, and aren't under the direct control of publishers and editors like production or administrative staff, making it less likely efficiencies will be derived from this part of the publication process.
This also indicates, in a more precise manner than experience and intuition, why posting papers on preprint servers is so comparatively quick, while publishing editorially reviewed and externally peer-reviewed papers takes time — the vast majority of the time a paper spends with a journal is spent with editors and peer-reviewers.
The 11 Nature journals I had queried for submission, acceptance, and publication dates were:
Nature (flagship)
Nature Genetics
Nature Biotech
Nature Materials
Nature Physics
Nature Geoscience
I also had PLOS One queried because it is a high-volume journal with an approach to review that suggests the process might run more quickly. Simply measuring across the Nature family of journals might have reflected the way Nature operates, how their editorial and peer review systems and software work, how their policies work, and so forth. PLOS One seemed far enough away in many respects to serve as a solid check, and a potential clincher if a common finding emerged.
Papers included in the Nature journals dataset were all published in 2018 and 2019 YTD (early July). For PLOS One, due to the volume of papers published by that journal, and the fact that they bake their data into Javascript which increased the time per query and exhausted available resources, I was able to get data from February 2019 through July 19, 2019.
The biggest surprise in the data was that even for PLOS One, which has a reputation for peer review based mainly on a paper being deemed "scientifically valid," the time between submission and acceptance consumed 85% of the span between submission and publication.
As expected, PLOS One was the fastest on average to publish, clocking in at an average 189 days from submission to publication, with Scientific Reports coming in second, at an average of 222 days. PLOS One was also faster on the production side, taking an average of 24 days to publish a paper after acceptance, with Nature Communications coming in second at 33 days and Scientific Reports in third, at 35 days from acceptance to publication.
Every journal could be quick when warranted, as well. Nature's fastest time to acceptance was less than 2 weeks, and some papers went through production in a week. PLOS One had some papers get through peer review in as little as 5 days.
These weren't unexpected findings, as speed is a variable for publishing, and one that's not entirely controllable for a variety of reasons. Also, a paper that takes longer to publish may or may not be superb, just as for any paper published quickly. There's no correlation I've ever seen between publication speed and quality.
But what caught my eye was the consistency in the percentage of time peer review and editorial review consumes, no matter the amount of time on the proverbial clock.
Nature — 80%
Nature Genetics — 82%
Nature Medicine — 77%
Nature Immunology — 83%
Nature Biotech — 85%
Nature Materials — 85%
Nature Neuroscience — 78%
Nature Physics — 81%
Nature Geoscience — 81%
Scientific Reports — 82%
Nature Communications — 83%
PLOS One — 85%
There are a few additional angles to this.
These times don't encompass the time (and money) spent on rejected papers. Rejecting papers is definitely an expensive process. When I analyzed the cost of rejecting papers for a journal I used to run, rejection accounted for 69% of the expense of handling papers, with the editors and publishers having nothing really to show for it. The remaining 31% of the cost was spent getting manuscripts to the point of acceptance. The costs in both cases are generally fixed expenses — manuscript software, salaries and benefits, stipends to editors, and facilities costs.
Of course, production systems keep getting more efficient. Or do they? It's tempting to think that perhaps peer review is consuming more time to publication because it's now so much easier to push articles online. Yet, I haven't met anyone doing cartwheels about how easy online publication systems have become to use, run, and manage. So, barring compelling evidence otherwise, let's call this one a wash.
Peer review takes time, costs money, and delivers what the market expects. Most journals can make it happen quickly at times, and sometimes it takes years to get a paper through a journal's peer review process. Judging from these data, it appears a good rule of thumb is that peer reviews takes 80-85% of the time a manuscript spends in-house prior to publication.
Does that match your experience and process?


Police want to speak to these two men in connection with the fraud investigation.
POLICE hunting fraudsters who stole thousands of pounds from a Bradford man in a fake 'gems' scam have released a CCTV image of two men they want to speak to.
Detectives said the fraud started on March 25 when a black man approached the 45-year-old victim in the BD7 area and offered to buy his Nissan Qashqai car.
The victim exchanged details with the man and agreed to meet him at a business park in Canal Road on March 29.
The victim agreed to buy the items for a discounted price and thousands of pounds were handed over.
The gems, which were referred to as 'Blue Gold' have been found to be fake and police are now warning the public to be aware of this scam.
Police Constbale Toni Hinnells, of Bradford District CID, said: "While we are only aware of one report of this type of fraud so far this year, we are aware that a similar scam has previously operated in the Bradford and Huddersfield areas.
"It is possible that these men are part of a larger group, who are targeting individuals to gain significant amounts of cash through deception.
"We want people to be fully aware of the potential tactics being used by these criminal enterprises and to report those behind it.
"If it appears too good to be true, it is most likely that it is."
Anyone who has information about this incident or who can identify these men is asked to contact Bradford District CID, quoting crime reference 13170144170.

The nation feels safer and is far much less violent than in earlier a few years, nonetheless the once-aid-driven monetary system is on the breaking level. Millions of people worldwide keep Ashraf Ghani, the earlier president of Afghanistan, liable for the large-scale emigration or evacuation of the educated elite.
Then why did he go away his nation when he said that "No force in the world could convince me to now board a plane and leave this country." I'll sacrifice my life in safety of the county I like. However, he did board an aircraft and depart from his nation, and everybody appears to be curious as to why.
Ashraf Ghani recently gave a CNN interview on August 15, 2022, better than a yr after he left, and in it, he outlined why he fled the nation he had vowed to die for. He outlined that he boarded a plane as a result of it was not potential to defend it in plain language.
In safety of himself, he well-known that he was the ultimate to go away his nation in the middle of the presidential flooring, that his minister of safety had already left as he was on his methodology to the ministry of safety as soon as they educated him that Kabul couldn't be defended and that your full presidential security drive had dispersed as they'd sporting civilian clothes.
Additionally, he turned away from the Taliban and their sympathizers because of he didn't want to offer them the satisfaction of degrading an Afghan president as quickly as further by forcing them to ratify the legitimacy of the federal authorities.
He isn't Afraid
He continued by saying that he's not frightened because of he was residing amid the rockets that had been dropped shut by, nonetheless he didn't switch and that giving up and allowing himself to be humiliated was not an risk.
As a finish end result, he's in the meanwhile receiving shelter inside the United Arab Emirates. The UN took his determine off the itemizing of heads of state on February 15, 2022. In May 2022, a report on the autumn of the Afghan National Army and the Afghan authorities was launched by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction.
When he was questioned regarding the loyalty of his presidential guard, the president and advisor reportedly feared that their very personal guard would shoot them. In response, the earlier president instructed CNN that "a situation occurred all through that time when he was in a gathering and a number of started firing and his private prepare dinner dinner was equipped numerous of 1000's of {{dollars}} to poison him so it's an environment that people wish to grasp.

He went on to say that leaving his nation was a spur-of-the-moment choice because of, as he took off in his helicopter, neither his passport nor any of his non-public possessions have been with him. He merely had a pair of sneakers and a number of garments from Afghanistan when he fled his private nation.
According to the SIGAR, Ghani is a "paranoid president who is terrified of his own compatriots" and that numerous his firings of senior navy officers "undermined morale" among the many many ANA. According to experiences, Ghani thought the US was planning a coup in opposition to him. Ghani's option to go away undid a last-minute settlement the U.S. had made to keep up the Taliban out of Kabul for at least two weeks. At the time, Ghani claimed that further Afghans would have died and there would have been "bloodshed" if he had stayed.

Salman Khan to get ex-couples under one roof for dance reality show 'Nach Baliye 9' – More Details Inside!
All you dance lovers out there, the season 9 of celebrity dance reality show 'Nach Baliye' will be out very soon. And guess what? The latest season will have a major plot twist in it. Superstar Salman Khan, who is producing the season 9, has added a new twist to the show's format. Unlike the previous seasons wherein only couples participated in the show, now even ex-couples will be a part of it. Isn't that an interesting twist?
Confirming the news, Salman told Mumbai Mirror, "'Nach Baliye' this year is going to be all about Entertainment with our new concept of getting not just couples but ex-couples under one roof."
The latest season will be hosted by none other than the supremely talented Sunil Grover, who recently shared screen space with Salman in 'Bharat'. Also joining him will be television sensation, Jennifer Winget. With both of them together, it will be a laugh riot for sure. Sunil is known for tickling everyone's funny bone.
The tabloid further reported that the makers of the show are in talks with Raveena Tandon to come on board as one of the judges. Apparently, Shahid Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Disha Patani have also been approached to judge the show. However, there has been no confirmation about the same by anyone. So we will have to wait until an official announcement is made about the same.
However, if Shahid, Tiger, and Disha agree to be a part of the show, then it will definitely be a treat to watch them on the small screen. And all of them are known for their terrific dance skills so perhaps in each episode, we might see them burn the dance floor. Now, why wouldn't anyone love that?

En Finanzas corporativas, una obligación es un instrumento de deuda a largo plazo utilizada por las grandes compañías para pedir dinero prestado, a una tasa fija de interés. El término "obligación" se refería originalmente a un documento que crea una deuda o la reconoce, pero en algunos países, ahora el término se utiliza indistintamente con el término de bonos, préstamo de valores o pagarés. Una obligación es así como un certificado de préstamo o un préstamo de bonos que evidencian el hecho de que la empresa es responsable del pago de una cantidad especificada de interés y aunque el dinero recaudado por las obligaciones se convierten en una parte de la estructura del capital de la empresa, no se convierte en Capital social. Grandes obligaciones reciben el pago antes que sub-obligaciones, y hay variaciones en las tasas de riesgo y rentabilidad para estas categorías.

Las obligaciones en general son libremente transferibles por el tenedor de la obligación. Los titulares de obligaciones no tienen derechos de voto en la empresa o en la junta general de accionistas, pero pueden tener reuniones por separado o votos. Por ejemplo, en al cambiar los derechos inherentes a las obligaciones. El interés pagado a ellos es un cargo contra el lucro del estado financiero en la compañía.

Atributos
 Son bienes movibles.
 Son emitidos por la empresa en forma de un certificado de endeudamiento.
 Generalmente se especifica la fecha de redención, de reembolso del monto principal y los intereses en las fechas especificadas.
 Puede o no crear un gravamen sobre los activos de la empresa.
 Las corporaciones en los Estados Unidos a menudo emiten bonos de alrededor de 1.000 dólares, mientras que los bonos del gobierno son más propensos a ser de $5,000.
Las obligaciones dieron lugar a la idea de que los ricos "recortan sus cupones," lo que significa que un tenedor de bonos presentará su "cupón" para el banco y recibirá un pago cada trimestre (o en el periodo que especifique el contrato).

También hay otras características que minimizan el riesgo, tales como un "fondo de amortización", lo que significa que el deudor debe pagar una parte del valor del bono después de un período especificado de tiempo. Esto disminuye el riesgo para los acreedores, como una cobertura contra la inflación, la quiebra, o de otros factores de riesgo. Un fondo de amortización que hace que el vínculo sea con menos riesgo, y por lo tanto le da un pequeño "cupón" (o pago de intereses). También hay opciones para "convertibilidad", lo que significa que un acreedor puede convertir sus bonos en acciones en la empresa si así lo desea. Las empresas también se reservan el derecho de llamar a sus bonos, lo que significa que se puede llamar antes de la fecha de vencimiento. A menudo hay una cláusula en el contrato que permite, por ejemplo, si el emisor de un bono desea recomprar 30 años de bonos a 25 años, lo cual debe pagar una prima. Si un bono es llamado, significa que se paga menos interés.

Incumplimiento del pago de un bono significa de manera efectiva la quiebra. Los tenedores de bonos que no han recibido su interés pueden generar que la empresa entre en la quiebra, o apoderarse de sus bienes, en caso de que se estipule en el contrato.

Seguridad en diferentes jurisdicciones
En los Estados Unidos, la obligación se refiere específicamente a un bono corporativo de deuda no garantizada, es decir, un vínculo que no tiene una cierta línea de ingresos o pieza de equipo o propiedad para garantizar el reembolso del bono principal sobre el bono de madurez. Donde se brinda seguridad para el préstamo de acciones o bonos en los Estados Unidos, que son denominados "bonos hipotecarios'.

Sin embargo, en el Reino Unido una obligación por lo general está asegurada.

En Canadá, un tenedor de bonos se refiere a un instrumento de préstamo garantizado, donde la seguridad es generalmente sobre el crédito del deudor, pero la seguridad no compromete a activos específicos. Como otras deudas con garantía, la obligación otorga al deudor el estado de prioridad sobre los acreedores en la quiebra; sin embargo, los instrumentos de deuda, donde la seguridad compromete a activos específicos (tales como los bonos) reciben una mayor prioridad de estado en una declaración de quiebra, que las obligaciones[cita requerida].

En Asia, si el pago está garantizado por una carga sobre la tierra, el documento de préstamo que se llama una hipoteca; cuando el pago está garantizado por un cargo en contra de otros activos de la empresa, el documento se llama una obligación; y donde no hay seguridad, el documento se llama un pagaré o "pagaré de depósito sin garantía".

Convertibilidad
Hay dos tipos de obligaciones:
 Obligaciones convertibles, que son bonos convertibles o bonos que pueden ser convertidos en acciones de capital de la empresa emisora después de un periodo predeterminado de tiempo. "Convertibilidad" es una característica que las empresas pueden añadir a los bonos que emiten para hacerlos más atractivos para los compradores. En otras palabras, es una característica especial que los bonos corporativos pueden llevar. Como resultado de la ventaja que un comprador obtiene a partir de la capacidad para convertir, los bonos convertibles suelen tener tasas de interés más bajas que los bonos corporativos no convertibles.
 Obligaciones no convertibles, que son simplemente obligaciones regulares, no se puede convertir en acciones de los responsables de la empresa. Son obligaciones sin la función de convertibilidad que se les otorga. Como resultado, suelen llevar a mayores tasas de interés de su contraparte convertible.

Sergeant Sean J. Major, Retired United States Marine Corps
Advocating for medical cannabis for veterans in need
From a young age, retired United States Marine Corps (USMC) Sergeant Sean J. Major was taught the importance of discipline, integrity, service, and respect. He joined the Marines in 2008, where he suffered serious injuries that have led to debilitating pain, nightmares, and cognitive issues. What saved his life was cannabis. Today, Sean has given up everything in pursuit of the only medicine that keeps him and his fellow brothers and sisters alive.
A rocky childhood creates a protective young man
Raised by a single mom in rural Washington state, Sean had a turbulent childhood. He witnessed his father, a retired Army Airborne veteran, become abusive and enraged because of undiagnosed, untreated post-traumatic stress (PTS). In high school, he was in a racially provoked altercation in which a 19-year-old stabbed him; Sean nearly died.
It was through God's mercy, and his grandmother's tough but gentle love, that he found his way out of the anger and hurt. Sean knew his purpose in life was to protect. He became a Marine.
A Marine is a Marine for life
During a Pacific Rim exercise in the summer of 2010, Sean suffered his first traumatic brain injury (TBI). The injury was severe. It took over a year for him to be somewhat well again, but he had undiagnosed PTS, which in addition to right shoulder, back, and joint pain, caused Sean suffering. He had trouble concentrating, experienced sleep disturbance, nightmares, and vivid memories.
Despite all this, Sean deployed to Africa to protect the Gulf of Aden from Somali pirates in Winter 2011. He returned to be promoted a Sergeant. Yet his untreated issues and symptoms were becoming increasingly problematic.
Symptoms lead to diagnosis and treatment
Sean's commanding officer eventually ordered him to get help in the form of a 10-week intensive outpatient program. It was then—two years following his deployment—that Sean was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress (PTS). "I learned then that I had sustained a total of four TBIs during my seven years of service," shares Sean. "A brain scan also showed permanent brain damage."
Under medical guidance, Sean began taking medication. He went to group therapy, attended anger management classes, and sexual abuse counseling. Holistic therapies, like art for healing and cognitive behavioral therapy, were also incorporated.
In May of 2015, he became a recovering service member of the Wounded Warrior Battalion-West. Sean's therapy focused on education to improve clarity of mind, and daily adaptive physical therapy to strengthen his body.
Yet while the Wounded Warrior Battalion became a bright light in Sean's life, the military's position on medical cannabis—and his advocacy for it—has left a devastating imprint on Sean's current life.
Being denied a medicine that works
While receiving medical care for his pain and PTS, Sean found himself inundated with medications that made him feel worse. He was prescribed upwards of 20 different drugs that came with severe unwanted side effects of aggression, social withdrawal, lack of energy, grogginess, headaches, nausea, constipation, dizziness, and feeling zombie-like.
Sean felt the medications were killing him just as much as PTS. In need of true relief, he was encouraged by his father to try medical cannabis. So in October 2015, Sean paid out-of-pocket to see a doctor outside of Navy Medicine, who gave him a state physician recommendation for medical cannabis use. Sean submitted this recommendation to Navy Medicine, which was very supportive.
Unfortunately, while Sean is the first person to receive a physician recommendation for cannabis in his medical records, the Marine Corps would not permit him to use this form of therapy for PTS while actively serving. His request was never approved. Sean believes his vocal stance on currently serving military and veterans having access to this form of medicine was the reason his medical military discharge was delayed, and he was denied retirement compensation. Sean does receive disability benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
"This shouldn't even be a conversation," Sean says. "Medical cannabis should be an option for every veteran—serving and retired."
Statistics show there are 23-74 recorded veteran suicides and pharmaceutical-related deaths every day, but the actual number could be significantly higher given that multiples states (including California and Texas) do not document this data.
To Sean, this is irresponsible and inhumane. "I just don't understand how the government is OK with us coming back with trauma from what we did or witnessed, but we cannot use medical cannabis. We can be highly medicated on prescription drugs, but using a plant from nature is prohibited.
"A veteran should not feel the only way out of the pain is to end life," he says. Sean tells other service members to not let pride get in the way of seeking support. "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
Finding a way through the pain
For Sean, coping with the loss of his identity as a Marine and the turmoil surrounding his medical discharge has been difficult. While he knows he made the right decision not backing down from his belief that veterans deserve better, it cost him everything.
"I am doing everything I can," Sean emphasizes. "And yet that is not enough. I risked my livelihood and future—which I would do again—for this fundamental right to treatment. This journey hasn't been easy, but I refuse to give up. My guys are dying; I can't sit idle."
So with his family, his fellow service members, at the forefront of his decisions, Sean is finding a way to move forward—day-by-day—to improve veteran care.
Drawing on life lessons to move forward
Today, Sean is managing his health the way his father showed him, and his grandmother inadvertently taught him as a horticulturist. Receiving his degree as a certified hydroponist through Archi's Acres, a hydroponic farm at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Sean devotes his time to organic cultivation.
He is matter-of-fact when he explains that medical cannabis saved his life: "I would not be here without it." Using myriad methods to administer his medicine, including tinctures, sprays, vape pens, water pipes (for smoking the actual flower bud), capsules, and raw CBD crystalline, he takes his medicine accordingly each day. "I medicate like any cancer, epilepsy, or TBI patient would using prescription medicine," he explains.
The positive effects on his health are remarkable. He can walk and is even able to run around his block, something unattainable a few years ago. When using an Indica strain of cannabis, there is a significant decrease in his back and shoulder pain, too. Sean is also calmer and less anxious. With renewed mental clarity, his speech has even improved. The extreme photosensitivity he suffered with for years has also lessened; his eyes no longer hurt in the light and his once-frequent headache has become much less present.
To round out his therapy, Sean goes to a gym three times a week. His goal is to spend fifteen minutes doing some form of exercise. Additionally, he attends his VA appointments and cognitive behavioral sessions. But what brings him the most happiness is devoting his energy to helping other vets.
Not one to give up
"Helping veterans helps me mentally not focus on the negative," Sean says. "I am still not OK, and the pain I live with is endless. I live in one reality, and fall asleep to find myself in a worse one. PTS is no joke, and no one talks about it enough." (Thankfully, he doesn't remember his nightmares if he medicates heavily with cannabis before bed.)
Sean says it is so hard to go through this process alone. He has felt abandoned by many, and is truly grateful to the "very few" who continue to stand by him.
Sean stresses the importance of family members remaining present: "Yes, your loved one has changed. But they are still the same person, and need you now more than ever."
This is the reason Sean tirelessly advocates for medical cannabis. Veterans who could be saved through cannabis are killing themselves, or already feel dead inside and alone. He wants to give them newfound hope, purpose and a reason to live—for their families and themselves. Sean will not give up; he will do whatever he can to make sure veterans can legally treat pain with medical cannabis.
At 27, retired USMC Sergeant Sean Major is a true example of a warrior. Humble, determined, and brave, he is using his voice to take a stand, to make change, and to save lives. Pain and PTSD may be part of his life, but he is not letting that stop him from living out his dream of helping, serving, and protecting others.
"Fighting for medical cannabis for veterans gives me a purpose. All I want to do is make a difference. I owe cannabis my life, and I know it can save the lives of my fellow brothers and sisters too."

Some very exciting events are swirling in my life. I'll have to make the time to write about them soon. But for now; Happy Halloween! (A holiday that's slowing making its way to Europe; more of it seems to surface with every year that I am still here).


This weekend the BET Hip hop Awards was taped to premiere October 11th and below they release two of the major Cyhers to look forward to after the jump!
Over the years the BET Cyhers have become more popular that the live performances with major artist such as Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden, Kanye West and Eminem dropping some of the most memorable bars. This year we will see Cyphers from. Estelle, Rick Ross, Joe Budden, Chris Brown, Eminem, Ludacris, Tyga and many more in fact 42 people in total.


The internet is an accelerator pedal, and it is making almost everything go faster.
Just like a gas pedal, the internet is benign. Not a force for good or evil, but both good and evil now wage their battles online in the 21st century. It is our newest battle front. Just as the printing press vastly expanded the spread of ideas through books and enabled the Renaissance and Reformation, the internet is creating a new e-Renaissance in numerous areas.
As Americans, we worry about such hot topics as unemployment, wars overseas, rising levels of debt, local education and climate change. Yet, unless you've been the victim of cybercrime, or published a book online, you probably haven't thought very much about how cyber-space is impacting your life, in both positive and negative ways.
Why Should Society Care About Cyber-Ethics?
Before I answer that question, I want to provide a few basic definitions: "Ethics are the rules or standards that govern conduct. How do I live my life and make my decisions?" Everyone has ethics. One of the best ways of thinking about ethics is to take a quick look at what you believe and then think about how you would react when those beliefs are challenged.
But to agree on ethics, we must agree on what is moral or the difference between right and wrong. So, if ethics is the study of behaviors and conduct and how what I believe affects how I live, then what is cyber-ethics?
In cyber-space, what's allowed on your network? What do I actually do? Are your actions different online than offline? I think this is a vital topic in the 21st century because the norm is to have different ethical standards or boundaries for online life. I frequently hear, 'It doesn't count the same' or 'People do or say things online anonymously that they would never do face to face with someone in real life'. Also: Who can I trust online and offline? Why are they trustworthy?
While many think cyber-space is separate or not as relevant, our online and offline lives are rapidly merging together as never before.
Hacking can be a good thing or a bad thing. There are white hat and black hat hackers, and plenty of data to show that hacktivism is a growing trend online. The future of hacking into the Internet of Things (IoT) won't just be about dollars or identity theft.
A new world of hacking motives is starting to emerge—along with convenient, easy to use, tools for computer novices to do many dangerous things online.
So what's my point? We all have causes that we champion, both online and offline. We use the internet for different purposes, and new online opportunities are making more and more of us hacktivists—either at heart or in practice with new tools—even if we are not as tech-savvy as we would like to be.
So how can we start to get to workable solutions? Are there any meaningful answers in response? At the start, I expressed my view that the internet is like the accelerator in your car. If this is true, than cyber-ethics are the brakes.
Our brakes: help us maneuver through tough online turns; and help us understand how to reach the desired destination safely.
The same is true of cyber-ethics. We need effective cyber-brakes when we go online. Cyber-ethics can inform and transform how we navigate through cyber-space.

Others will try, but they focus on making their painting attractive (whatever that means to them) rather than daring to paint what they truly want to paint. They become frustrated with the class and quit.
I understand their fear very well. Creative endeavours can be scary. They require a lot of courage, and it can take several attempts before someone makes their breakthrough. So many people give up because they don't want to get to know themselves. No one wants to admit that they're frightened. No one wants to admit that they're embarrassed by their work, or that they're worried about what other people will think of them. Feeling that way means you're shallow and vain, right? It's much easier to not even try in the first place.
I know this feeling because I've been there. You don't have to stay there, though. Not if you take the unpopular path. I have seen the results with my own eyes. I saw the work of the women who came to class every week. I saw them bloom and grow, moving from being embarrassed to being excited to share their work with the class. We've all created intricate, vivid pieces, filled with emotion that leapt off the page. We went from being anxious to a willingness to challenge ourselves, and be honest about our feelings and experiences. Our paintings aren't always pretty. A few of mine freaked everyone out. But our work is always honest. It has depth and it resonates. It is truthful. When our paintings are both pretty and truthful, they take everyone's breath away.
The popular option is to give up. But it's the unpopular path that yields results. Take a step on that path today.

Temptation island: Season finale
Published: Dec 13, 2011, 06:26 IST | Dhara Vora |
The buffet is a hostile place for anyone seeking to fight the battle of the bulge. Expert advice on how to eat out sensibly, this season and beyond
As New Year resolutions go flying out the window only to be replaced with a barrage of wedding/ dinner/ lunch invitations, we wondered: Is there a way to avoid those clingy 'holiday' kilos or was one's only choice to risk social ostracisation in the vain attempt to stay trim?
Experts say yes, it is possible to do both: Socialise and be kind to the weighing scale. If you're heading to a Chinese restaurant, "Stir-fried veggies are a healthy option," says fitness expert Zareen Watson, who also gives a thumbs up to steamed fish and sushi.
"Edamame beans, rice paper vegetable rolls and lemon wraps are all healthy starters. So are clear soups. If you're craving something spicy, opt for the Tom Yum soup," suggests nutritionist, health and obesity consultant Naini Setalvad.
Mexican cuisine on the menu? Slight problem. Enchiladas and tortillas are typically laden with melted cheese and must be avoided, says Watson. Opt instead for Fajitas (Mexican wraps) with stir-fried veggies, and request for salsa sauce or an avocado dip (Guacamole) in place of a cheesy one.
Tomato Bruschetta is better
Start your meal with a Minestrone soup or a Tomato Bruschetta starter, if the menu is Italian. For the Main Course, request for whole wheat instead of regular pasta, which is the "lesser of the two evils", according to Watson.
Pastas tossed in a tomato sauce, instead of a white sauce (Bechamel or cheese) are also less heavy on the calories.
Setalvad advises opting for the Arrabbiata sauce, which is made with tomatoes, olive oil, chilli flakes.
If your Italian meal isn't complete without pizza, ask for your pizza to be topped with lots of veggies, instead of toppings like cheese and pepperoni, which are high in fat, salt and calories.
'Tandoori' yes, 'Makhni' no
When going desi, experts say that 'tandoor' or 'grilled' options are a better deal, while Naans, fired papads and dishes with 'makhni' in their name are also strict no-nos. Setalvad also advises against eating Galouti kebabs. "They have too much cream, cheese and ghee."
A great strategy to avoid over-eating is to be prepared. "Eat before you go out, as you never know what you might get there," says Setalvad, especially when it comes to buffets, which are the equivalent of temptation islands for dieters.
Small portions diet don't work at a buffet, as all the cheeses, chocolates and cream add up to a lot of calories, according to Watson, who suggests, "Fill up on the soup, as it will help curb a large part of your hunger and gorge on salads. You will feel full before you get to the Main Course."
Sugar is the enemy
Watson feels that the biggest damage is the dessert counter and that it is best to stay away from it. If you must end your meal with something sweet, opt for some seasonal fruits (strawberries with yoghurt and a drizzle of honey are a great option) or sorbets over ice creams.
"Sangrias, margaritas and other fancy cocktails go down real smooth, but you would need a trailer to get you up and working the next day. They are laden with sugar," says Watson, who advises a glass of red wine or vodka with a squeeze of lime.
"Ditch colas; ask for sparkling water or soda, instead," suggests Setalvad.
Did you say 'baked'?
Read the menu closely. If a dish is 'grilled' it is relatively low in calories, while 'baked' can be a tricky term. "A baked dish can be baked with cheese, margarine or butter, so read the description closely," says Watson, adding, "All pastries and savouries are baked too, and are fattening."
Sauteed is a good word too, as it means that the food was cooked on a high temperature with relatively less oil. "Breaded usually means that it's been deep-fried," says Setalvad.
If a potato is roasted or sauteed, it need not be high in calories. The calories of the dish shoot up, however, if the potatoes are served with a mayonnaise or sour-cream dip. Hummus, the Lebanese dip made with chickpeas, olive oil and garlic is a better bet.
There will be days, dinners or meals that you slip up, so don't be too hard on yourself. Recover the following day by drinking lots of water and bulking up on fresh fruits and seasonal veggies, including leafy greens. Try to strike a balance between proteins and carbohydrates.
Cardio and strength-training exercises are also a great way to get back on track. Setalvad advises chooses foods with a low Glycaemic Index (GI), as these foods are likely to help prevent a sudden spike in insulin levels, and may improve long-term blood-glucose control. Most fruits, vegetables, legumes, pulses, whole grains and certain nuts are examples of low GI foods.
Not all carbs are created equal. Carbohydrates are considered a bad word for dieters, but not all carbs are bad for you. The ones to avoid are those found in most baked goodies, including breads and cakes, and other deep-fried foods. Good carbs are those found in whole-grain foods such as fruits and even dried fruits.
Dried fruits are not as high in fat as nuts. True, (unsalted) nuts are good for you (they contain "good" monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and not the "bad" saturated ones found in meat and dairy products), but it is still best to consume them in moderation, as they are high in fat. Dried fruits such as prunes and apricots, however, have zero fat, and a handful make a good mid-evening snack.
Watch out for!
menu descriptions that can wreak havoc on any healthy eating plan: 'Au gratin', 'Basted', 'Creamed', 'smothered', 'stuffed' 'in white sauce', 'crispy' and 'crunchy'
Tempura: This is the Japanese term for battered and deep-fried seafood and vegetables. It's the equivalent of a bhajia or batata vada.
The amount of calories in just 50 grammes, equivalent to a fistful, of chips.
Sangrias, margaritas and other fancy cocktails go down real smooth, but you would need a trailer to get you up and working the next day. They are laden with sugars.
Zareen Watson, Fitness Expert
3 tips to eat out sensibly
Start your meal with a clear soup. This is a great way to cut back on calories. Make sure to steer clear of
any garnishes of fresh cream and deep-fried croutons, though.
Cut out sugar. Skip the temptation to end your meal on a sweet note. Avoid alcohol.
Eat on a small plate. Remember, we all eat with our eyes first, and so this is a simple strategy to trick your brain into feeling full.

Q: Session loss with inAppBrowser I have used the inAppBrowser plugin with Capacitor, and the application works fine. The only problem is that when I close the application and open it again, the session is lost.
I've tried different configurations of the inAppBrowser API, but I still have the same problem.
Currently this is my code:
export class HomePage {

  constructor(private iab: InAppBrowser) {}
  browser = this.iab.create('https://www.saem.com.ar/ingreso/?next=/','_blank',{
    hideurlbar: 'yes',
    hidenavigationbuttons : 'yes',
    toolbar: 'no',
    clearcache: 'no',
    clearsessioncache: 'no',
    location: 'no'
  });
}

Any suggestions?
thanks

Q: What are the maternity leave benefits for local and expat employees in Ho Chi Minh City?
Asked: Oct. 3, 2019 by: citypassguide
Working in Saigon means a busy work life. But that doesn't mean life is too busy to take care of ourselves especially for new mothers who just finished giving birth. According to Vietnamese law, female employees, both local and expats in Saigon can enjoy maternity leave for six months. If a woman has more than one child, she is entitled to a further 30 days off for each additional child. After four months of maternity leave, a woman can return to work if she has a written permission issued by a competent medical centre stating that she is able to work. If having a child who is less than 12 old, a working woman is entitled to 60 minutes per working day to take care of her baby.
Female employees receive 100% of their average salary during their six months' maternity leave.
