The idea that we have an unlimited moral imperative to pursue medical research is deeply rooted in American society and medicine. In this provocative work, Daniel Callahan exposes the ways in which such a seemingly high and humane ideal can be corrupted and distorted into a harmful practice.
Medical research, with its power to attract money and political support, and its promise of cures for a wide range of medical burdens, has good and bad sides—which are often indistinguishable. In What Price Better Health?, Callahan teases out the distinctions and differences, revealing the difficulties that result when the research imperative is suffused with excessive zeal, adulterated by the profit motive, or used to justify cutting moral corners. Exploring the National Institutes of Health's annual budget, the inflated estimates of health care cost savings that result from research, the high prices charged by drug companies, the use and misuse of human subjects for medical testing, and the controversies surrounding human cloning and stem cell research, Callahan clarifies the fine line between doing good and doing harm in the name of medical progress. His work shows that medical research must be understood in light of other social and economic needs and how even the research imperative, dedicated to the highest human good, has its limits.
"This book is of special importance. Callahan brings together in one volume the history of biomedical research in the U.S., a discussion of the goals, process, and conduct of biomedical research, and a compelling proposal for reforming the balance between research and public health policies."--Dorothy Rice, coauthor of The Dynamics of Disability: Measuring and Monitoring Disability for Social Security Programs
"One of the foremost bioethicists of our age questions the central dogmas of biomedical research, namely that more science necessarily delivers a better life and that aging is a preventable disease. Callahan brilliantly deconstructs the myths behind medical research; his arguments and socratic inquiry will shake your complacency as it did my own."—Sheldon Krimsky, author of Science in the Private Interest
"This book is the fruit of many years of reflection by one who has been at the center of the bioethics movement in this country. Managing to be simultaneously readable and knowledgeable, Callahan has also not been afraid to be provocative. His book will be required reading for all who want to ponder the ethics of research."—Gilbert Meilaender, author of Body, Soul and Bioethics
Daniel Callahan is Director of the International Program at the Hastings Center and Senior Fellow at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of False Hopes (1998), The Troubled Dream of Life (1993), What Kind of Life? (1990), and Setting Limits (1987).
In 2011, Callahan received the Matteo Ricci, S.J. Award for his contributions to Christian culture.

Ngurah Rai Airport and volcanic ash Gunung Agung.
Evaluation Meeting of Angkasa Pura I I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport was completed on Tuesday (28/11/2017) at dawn at 01:40 WITA earlier.
GM AP I I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Yanus Suprayogi said from observations in the airport distribution of volcanic ash is now widening.
"The closure of our operations extends until the next morning, or until Wednesday morning, according to NOTAM AirNav Indonesia which will be issued after this," he said.
Yanus added that this was done because the spread of volcanic ash widened and even reached Banyuwangi and Jember.
Until 00:00 pm, Paper Test has been done and the result is NIL of Vulcanic Ash at Airport I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali.
With consideration of air space / airport air space still covered by vulcanic ash distribution in accordance with VA Advisory ploting, the Notam Closed Airport will be continued up to 24 hours ahead.


Harold Wilson and Edward Heath are two very different men equally overlooked by history, but they were the political titans of the era in which Britain changed forever. For ten years they faced each other in the House of Commons, and swapped in and out of Number Ten. They fought four general elections, three of which were amongst the most exciting of the century. They were deliciously different and scorned one another, yet they were cast from the same mould.
Both promised a revolution of meritocracy and dynamism in the British economy and society. Both utterly failed, but together they presided over a decade that redefined the nation: Britain ceased to be a world power and entered Europe; the post war consensus in which they both believed was destroyed; Thatcherism and New Labour were born. The country they left behind was unrecognisable from the one they had inherited – and the one they had promised.

Instead it's been asset stripped by freeholders who just can't be bothered with low profit centres and are concentrating on high turnover outlets to invest in.
All the British Pubco's - such as Greene King, Marston's, Punch, Enterprise, Star (Heineken) et al are at it. They all have chronically underinvested in their properties for decades which has led to serial business failure of community pubs all over the UK. The pubco's response is to flog off pubs, 'suitable for alternative use', that would be financially viable if some of their profits had put back into the property instead of being taken by the pubco's as they ripped off successive tenants - and the communities they served.
It's a national disgrace, a white collar cultural crime that is damaging communities everywhere and destroying British cultural tradition, national heritage and the unique sense of place Britain has that comes out of our pubs - the only places were people can meet others from all walks of life and background. The social fabric of communities everywhere is being torn into tatters and thrown away for ever by big companies for short term profit.
A Greene King spokesman said: "We are committed to running friendly, high quality pubs which are enjoyed by everyone in the community.

Digital payments in India are set to increase 10 times by 2020, rising from $50bn to $500bn, meaning that startups and global entrepreneurs need to be ready to seize opportunities as they come.
Cleveland Brown, the CEO of Los Angeles based Payscout, said that the Indian consumer market was ripe for the picking.
"The Indian market is a large and growing global economy that is still very much untapped," Brown said, adding that US based e-commerce startups could no longer rely on American customers.
It has never been more important for e-commerce startups to shift their attention to other markets.
Earlier this year, CB Insights reported that e-commerce startup funding was on track for its worst year since 2013, dropping to $4bn worldwide, down from more than $15.6bn the previous year.
However, despite the downturn, activity in the sector remains high with six straight quarters of more than 200 global funding deals. Overall, attitudes remain positive.
"The digital payment industry will grow and develop along with the increase of electronic spendings, which will be an engine of innovation for the space," said Adam Wesolowski, the CMO of Switzerland-based startup payment platform Securion Pay.
Globally, e-commerce companies based in Asia continue to dominate funding as middle classes grow and emerging markets open up.
Among the companies with the most funding was Indian based Flipkart, which received $550m in Series I funding. Now an e-commerce giant on the sub-continent, Flipkart was founded in 2007. The company has total disclosed funding of $3.2bn.

Prison Labor Is The New American Slavery and Most of Us Unknowingly Support It By Spending Money With These Companies
December 12, 2016 Satya Dev 0 Comments
(CCN) Prison Labor Is The New American Slavery and Most of Us Unknowingly Support It By Spending Money With These Companies:
Technically abolished in 1865, the general populace in the United States have good reason to think slavery no longer exists in this country. The shocking reality however, is that slavery has not been eradicated, only reinvented. You may ask, how is it possible, or even legal? The truth lies in a loophole in the 13th Amendment which allows slavery to exist as "a punishment for crimes" and as a result the U.S prison system has capitalized on this and uses inmates for slave labour under the guise of "inmate rehabilitation".
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
What does this mean for the average consumer? It means that you may be (and most probably do) support modern slavery.
As Sara Burrows for returntonow.nett writes:
Not surprisingly, corporations have lobbied for a broader and broader definition of "crime" in the last 150 years. As a result, there are more (mostly dark-skinned) people performing mandatory, essentially unpaid, hard labor in America today
With 5 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's prison population, the United States has the largest incarcerated population in the world. No other society in history has imprisoned more of its own citizens. There are half a million more prisoners in the U.S. than in China, which has five times our population. Approximately 1 in 100 adults in America were incarcerated in 2014. Out of an adult population of 245 millionthat year, there were 2.4 million people in prison, jail or some form of detention center.
The vast majority – 86 percent – of prisoners have been locked up for non-violent, victimless crimes, many of them drug-related.
While prison labor helps produce goods and services for almost every big business in America, here are a few examples from an article that highlights the epidemic:
While prison labor helps produce goods and services for almost every big business in America, here are a few examples from an article that highlights the epidemic
Whole Foods – You ever wonder how Whole Foods can afford to keep their prices so low (sarcasm)? Whole Foods' coffee, chocolate and bananas might be "fair trade," but the corporation has been offsetting the "high wages" paid to third-world producers with not-so-fair-wages here in America.
The corporation, famous for it's animal welfare rating system, apparently was not as concerned about the welfare of the human "animals" working for them in Colorado prisons until April of this year.
You know that $12-a-pound tilapia you thought you were buying from "sustainable, American family farms?" It was raised by prisoners in Colorado, who were paid as little as 74 cents a day. And that fancy goat cheese? The goats were raised and milked by prisoners too.
McDonald's – The world's most successful fast food franchise purchases a plethora of goods manufactured in prisons, including plastic cutlery, containers, and uniforms. The inmates who sew McDonald's uniformsmake even less money by the hour than the people who wear them.
Wal-Mart – Although their company policy clearly states that "forced or prison labor will not be tolerated by Wal-Mart," basically every item in their store has been supplied by third-party prison labor factories. Wal-Mart purchases its produce from prison farms, where laborers are often subjected to long hours in the blazing heat without adequate food or water.
Victoria's Secret – Female inmates in South Carolina sew undergarments and casual-wear for the pricey lingerie company. In the late 1990's, two prisoners were placed in solitary confinement for telling journalists that they were hired to replace "Made in Honduras" garment tags with "Made in USA" tags.
AT&T – In 1993, the massive phone company laid off thousands of telephone operators—all union members—in order to increase their profits. Even though AT&T's company policy regarding prison labor reads eerily like Wal-Mart's, they have consistently used inmates to work in their call centers since '93, barely paying them $2 a day.
BP (British Petroleum) – When BP spilled 4.2 million barrels of oil into the Gulf coast, the company sent a workforce of almost exclusively African-American inmates to clean up the toxic spill while community members, many of whom were out-of-work fisherman, struggled to make ends meet. BP's decision to use prisoners instead of hiring displaced workers outraged the Gulf community, but the oil company did nothing to reconcile the situation.
Listed below are of companies implicated in exploiting prison labor, but the complete list can be found here.
Burrows continues:
While not all prisoners are "forced" to work, most "opt" to because life would be even more miserable if they didn't, as they have to purchase pretty much everything above the barest necessities (and sometimes those too) with their hard-earned pennies. Some of them have legal fines to pay off and families to support on the outside. Often they come out more indebted than when they went in.
In places like Texas, however, prison work is mandatory and unpaid – the literal definition of slave labor.
According the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, prisoners start their day with a 3:30 a.m. wake-up call and are served breakfast at 4:30 a.m. All prisoners who are physically able are required to report to their work assignments by 6 a.m.
"Offenders are not paid for their work, but they can earn privileges as a result of good work habits," the website says.
Most prisoners work in prison support jobs, like cooking, cleaning, laundry, and maintenance, but about 2,500 of them work in the Texas prison system's own "agribusiness department," where they factory-farm 10,000 beef cattle, 20,000 pigs and a quarter million egg-laying hens. The prisoners also produce 74 million pounds of livestock feed per year, 300,000 cases of canned vegetables, and enough cotton to clothe themselves (and presumably others). They also work at meat packaging plants, where they process 14 million pounds of beef and 10 million pounds of pork per year.
While one of the department's stated goals is to reduce operational costs by having prisoners produce their own food, the prison system admittedly earns revenue from "sales of surplus agricultural production."
This alone gives incentive to the corporations to continue to contract prisons for cheap labour, as well as gives incentives to penitentiaries to acquire and keep inmates for their own profit.
Prisoners who refuse to work – again, unpaid – are placed in solitary confinement. When asked if Texas prisons still employ "chain gangs" in the FAQ section, the department responds:
No, Texas does not use chain gangs. However, offenders working outside the perimeter fence are supervised by armed correctional officers on horseback."
That sure sounds like a chain gang to me.
Similar "prison farms" exist in Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio and other states, where prisoners are forced to work in agriculture, logging, quarrying and mining.
In addition to being forced to labor directly for the profit of the government, inmates may be "farmed out" to private enterprises, through the practice of convict leasing, to work on private agricultural lands or related industries (fishing, lumbering, etc.). The party purchasing their labor from the government generally does so at a steep discount from the cost of free labor.
If you still do not believe that slavery is still alive and well in America, you can see it for yourself.
Whitney Bends of the Atlantic writes of the video:
To the untrained eye, the scenes in Angola for Life: Rehabilitation and Reform Inside the Louisiana State Penitentiary, an Atlantic documentary filmed on an old Southern slave-plantation-turned-prison, could have been shot 150 years ago. The imagery haunts, and the stench of slavery and racial oppression lingers through the 13 minutes of footage.
As the camera zooms out and pans over fields of black bodies bent in work and surveyed by a guard, the picture that emerges is one of slavery. It is one of a "justice" system riddled with racial oppression. It is one of private business taking advantage of these disenfranchised, vulnerable workers. It is one of an entire caste of men relegated, as they have long been relegated, to labor for free, condemned to sow in perpetuity so that others might reap.
Please do that the time to research before you buy, if you are a person who has held to the conviction that if slavery existed today (which is clearly does) you would stand against it- review the list provided and choose where to spend your hard earned dollars.
What are your views on the unpaid, or grossly underpaid labour of inmates to the benefit of the prisons, and profit of large corporations and the U.S government? What do you think about the sudden want to redefine what a "crime" is only in the hopes to fill up these for profit prisons? We welcome your thoughts below.

2% and 3% concentration of petrol-ether and ether fractions in propylene glycol and 2% water soluble extract of the bark of Juglans regia were tried against developing plaque. All the preparations were applied twice a day on 20 subjects for 3 days. Results compared with three days old base line plaque score demonstrated maximum plaque inhibition (32.40% ) by 2% ether extract.
Aim: Adverse effects of varieties of culturally integrated form of tobacco on periodontium have been studied in recent era. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of duration of mishri on clinical attachment loss in people using mishri as dentifrice. Materials and Method: A total number 60 patients were divided into those using mishri for less than 5 years (Group 1), between 5-10 years (Group 2), more than 10 years (Group 3). Clinical parameters like Probing depth, Recession, Clinical attachment level were measured using Florida probe. It was observed that Group 1 patients had less attachment loss in comparison to Group 3. Whereas Group 3 patients had more clinical attachment loss than Group2 and Group 1. Conclusion: Thus it was noticed that the effect of duration of using Mishri was directly proportional to clinical attachment loss of periodontium.
The traditional orthodontic patient-base of adolescents has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Adult patients now comprise a very large percentage of the orthodontic patient base. These patients bring with them unique challenges to the provision of aesthetic treatment. Gingival aesthetics, for a long time the exclusive concern of the periodontist, has now become one of the chief aesthetic challenges presented to the practicing orthodontist. This report illustrates the interdisciplinary approach in a patient requiring periodontic, orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment.
Background: Dens invaginatus is a developmental malformation, which concerns the non-typical arrangement of dental hard tissues. Conventional diagnostic aids like radiographs play an important role in assessment of complex root canal morphologies. These modalities, however, do not provide detailed information of the complexity as a result of their inherent limitations. This calls for use of more advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography, which can help the clinician in making a more accurate diagnosis. Report: Type III Dens invaginatus was detected in a 20 year old male patient corresponding to the maxillary lateral incisor and showing extensive periradicular radiolucency and a vestibular sinus. The radiographic and tomographic examination revealed 2 apices: one wide open in the distal part of the root and the other normally formed in the mesial. Treatment plan: Combined non-surgical and surgical endodontic therapy with MTA as a retrograde filling material was planned in this case. Outcome: At follow-up examination after 6 months, the tooth was asymptomatic and radiographically showed repair of the lesion.
Aims and objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare in vitro the fracture resistance of endodontically treated roots filled with Resilon and Gutta-percha. Methodology: Eighty extracted single canal teeth were selected and randomly assigned to five groups of sixteen teeth each. Teeth were sectioned using a diamond disc so as to obtain a root length of 14±1 mm. Roots were instrumented using .04 taper Profile rotary system to an apical size of 40 and obturated using .04 taper single cone (size 40) as follows: Group 1: Resilon .04 taper cone and Epiphany Self etching sealer, Group 2: .04 taper gutta-percha cone and AH Plus sealer ,Group 3: .04 taper gutta-percha cone and Roeko Seal Automix sealer, Group 4: .04 taper gutta-percha cone and Zinc oxide Eugenol sealer , Group 5: .04 taper gutta-percha cone without the use of a sealer. Following obturation, teeth were mounted in Poly Vinyl Chloride jigs using self cure acrylic resin such that 9mm of the root remained exposed. Fracture resistance testing was done using Instron testing machine using a vertical load applied perpendicular to the root surface. Statistical analysis was done using ANOVA, Tukey HSD and Student's 't' test. Results: Very highly significant difference was observed between the groups (P=.001). Resilon with Epiphany group demonstrated highest mean fracture resistance value and gutta-percha without sealer displayed the least, comparative results were highly significant. Resilon compared to gutta-percha with Roeko Seal Automix (P=.037) and Zinc Oxide Eugenolsealers (P=.029) showed statistically significant difference. AH plus group showed significantly higher value compared to gutta-percha without sealer. Conclusions: Filling the root canals with Resilon increased the in vitro fracture resistance of endodontically treated roots compared to standard gutta-percha techniques. Adhesive sealers are more beneficial in increasing the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth.
Traumatic injuries to the tooth may lead to a dilemma in the treatment plan specially in teeth with fractured roots with displacement. The treatment plan for teeth with root fractured with displaced apical segment is to implement root canal therapy up to the fractured line leaving the apical segment untreated. Determining the working length of the coronal segment may be difficult by radiograph, so we tested the accuracy of three electronic apex locators (EALs) to locate the apical limit in teeth with simulated oblique root fractures. An oblique incomplete root fracture was simulated on 15 freshly extracted maxillary anterior teeth by means of a notch made on the vestibular root plane 8 mm from the anatomic apex. The EALs investigated were the ProPex (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), Root ZX (J.Morita Co, Kyoto, Japan). Dentaport ZX ( J. Morita Co., Kyoto, Japan). The electronic measurements were compared with the real "working length." The accuracy obtained was of 86.6% (n _ 13) with Root ZX , 66.6% (n _ 10) with the ProPex, and 60% (n _ 09) with Dentaport ZX. When tolerances of 0.5-mm and 1.0-mm tolerance were, respectively, allowed. The analysis of variance (p _ 0.05) and chi-square test (0.5 mm/p _ 0.47 and 1.0 mm/p _ 0.63 tolerances) showed no statistical significant differences between the EALs at either tolerance level.
Background: The retrograde periodontal lesion is a very rare condition of endodontic origin with secondary periodontal involvement. The presence of a concomitant palato-radicular groove (PRG) on a maxillary lateral incisor is not a common developmental anomaly. We report on the successful treatment of this condition through endodontic and periodontal therapy. Methods: This case report describes a pulpal periodontal condition occurring on a left maxillary lateral incisor in a 30-year-old male, which was successfully treated by conventional endodontic therapy followed by periodontal treatment which included odontoplasty and apical flap surgery with bone grafting. Results: A 2-year follow-up, which included a radiographic evaluation and surgical re-entry, revealed excellent healing with complete bone fill around the involved defect and total resolution of the lesion. Conclusion: The basis of our successful treatment was an accurate and timely diagnosis and elimination of all inflammatory irritants and other contributory factors. It is important for all clinicians to be aware of the existence of this abnormality.
Anterior crown fractures are a common form of injury that mainly affects children and adolescents. In the pre-adhesive era fractured teeth needed to be restored either with pin-retained inlays or cast restorations that sacrificed healthy tooth structure. Achieving aesthetic requirements were also a challenge for the clinicians. The development of adhesive dentistry has allowed dentists to use the broken fragment to restore the fractured tooth. The acid etch adhesive technique may be used to restore function and esthetics of fractured anterior teeth. Reattachment of the fractured segment offers some advantages over composite restorations. The original enamel translucency is maintained, and the incisal edge will wear at the same rate as the adjacent teeth. Esthetic, biologic and restorative problems may occur as a result of the fracture extending subgingivally and impinging on the biologic width. The treatment options depend on the relationship of the fracture to the alveolar crest, degree of pulpal involvement, amount of eruption, apex formation and esthetic requirement of the patient. This article presents two clinical reports describing the treatment modalities of patients who sustained fractures of maxillary anterior teeth due to trauma.
The case describes a 3 months follow-up of the treatment of a maxillary canine with two roots. Clinical examination revealed a maxillary canine with a large carious lesion and an exaggerated response to cold thermal tests. Radiographic examination revealed a large distal carious lesion that appeared to invade the pulp chamber. The radiograph also revealed what appeared to be an extra root in this permanent maxillary canine.

MORE CASH INJECTIONS
In October 2006, Holby City actor Simon Williams, a Daval shareholder and believer, presented a petition to Downing Street with 20,000 signatures calling for NHS backing of Aimspro.
There was no take up by the NHS, but the following month the MHRA, the medicines regulator, did begin a criminal investigation into Daval as reported in an exclusive Sunday Times expose.
The Sunday Times 26 November 2006
Among other troubling matters, we revealed details of a woman who had a serious adverse reaction when Dr Ian Brooman, a director of Daval at the time, injected her with Aimspro.
No prosecution of the company followed, but the regulator did "strongly encourage" Daval to conduct clinical trials, which the company indicated would be completed in 2009.
They weren't, but the money continued to pour in from new shareholders led to believe otherwise.
Daval blamed the MHRA probe on rivals and advised supporters to ignore parallel concerns raised by the MS Society and its scientists about the safety and efficacy of Aimspro.
"The very nature of our product means that we have to work with the utmost secrecy," the company told its many believers.
Meanwhile, Shotton came up with a new funding strategy. In 2009, Daval floated the idea that major pharmaceutical companies were showing "significant interest" in buying the company or Aimspro.
At fundraisers, attendees were told Aimspro was "a finished product requiring no further development research" and had "Holy Grail" attributes for yet another neurological condition – motor neurone disease, and arthritis as well.
But three more years of milking old and new shareholders passed without any meaningful interest from Big Pharma.
Then in November 2012, Rothschild, the private finance company, was brought in and launched Operation Dendrite – a new plan to sell Aimspro to major drug companies.
Rothschild's glossy sales brochure made no mention of Divine visitations, Mexican guinea pigs, Frankenstein experiments, hit men or the aborted trial at St George's Hospital.
Nor did it mention the misrepresentation of results when Aimspro was tested at the Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. Daval had claimed even severe damage to the optic nerve could be repaired, when the Oxford trial found no evidence to substantiate this.
While Big Pharma was digesting the brochure, newly-appointed Daval director Stephen Hunt recalled an upbeat speech at the December 2013 annual general meeting given by a member of Rothschild's healthcare team.
A possible £2 billion deal was around the corner shareholders were told, says Hunt, who before becoming a Daval director had sold its shares for a 10% commission.
The Rothschild man's comment to "get your champagne on ice" inevitably stimulated the greed gene and encouraged demand for Daval shares.
Shotton and Daval chairman, Brian Quick, were ready to cash in, says Hunt. "The share price was £450."
Shotton claims that although he was the main shareholder, founder, and chief executive of Daval he had no involvement in setting the share price. He further claims he received only 10% of the value of the shares sold on his behalf and the rest went to support Daval. Quick did not return calls.
In the end there was no deal with Big Pharma. Pfizer, GSK, Teva and BioMarin delivered their damning verdicts on Aimspro in February 2014. For the first time independent neuroscientists had examined Daval's secret data and walked away unimpressed.
In thirteen years, Daval had raised almost £20 million from weary shareholders supposedly for research and development of its 'wonder drug'. But the Big Pharma boffins were not convinced Daval knew how Aimspro actually worked, its so-called mechanism of action.
Having examined the patent and other data, the scientists felt there was "not sufficient evidence of positive efficacy" to justify getting out the chequebook.
"The biology is too murky for us," was the conclusion of BioMarin's scientists – a comment that could equally be applied to Daval's corporate governance.
Proven Record
Syed Haq
Behind closed doors, a nasty row was unfolding at Daval soon after Big Pharma walked away.
Shotton says he sacked Syed Haq, the well-paid lead scientist. Dr Deirdre Macintosh was brought in. She had been with Shotton almost from the beginning and was a shareholder-director of Daval.
Dr McIntosh detested Haq and claims to have reported him to the company's patent lawyers for "plagiarism" in what was shown to Big Pharma, something he denies. Haq now runs a Harley Street clinic for cosmetic treatments.
None of these matters were fed back to disappointed shareholders. Instead, they were given a positive spin and told Aimspro was too "complex" for anyone but Daval to understand.
It was at this nadir that two of the countries leading Conservative politicians played a role in fluffing the flaccid performance of Daval's wonder drug.
Damian Green
In October 2014, Damian Green, who became deputy prime minister, alerted health secretary Jeremy Hunt to Aimspro's possible benefit in fighting another major disease – the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa.
A constituent and director of Daval had asked Green to make representations to Hunt, who replied on departmental notepaper with an inaccurate but helpful endorsement of the company.
The most important health figure in the country wrote:
"I note that Aimspro already has a proven record in treatment of neurological diseases."
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Gloating At The Poor
Undeterred by Big Pharma's rejection, the Daval board announced in 2015 that shareholders could now invest half their pensions direct into company shares.
The directors needed at least £10 million to fund yet another new scientific direction for Aimspro – this time as a treatment for Alzheimer's, a form of dementia affecting 1 in 14 people over 65 years of age.
Dr Peter Maskell
Shotton was also pushing for a smaller trial at the Kent Community NHS Foundation Trust into Aimspro's ability to heal wounds.
Dr Peter Maskell, his personal physician, was the medical director of the trust. He had been paid in Daval shares for looking after Shotgun's heart and was married to the company's clinical director, Dr Natasha Gilani.
Maskell declined to comment on the share arrangement and other dealings with Shotton. The Trust said it decided against the trial.
Meanwhile, Daval's board were tiring of Shotton's style and eventually found the backbone to over-rule him, a stance that became the catalyst for the company's spectacular collapse five years later.
Shotton stepped down in January 2016 citing his wife's health and straight away declared war on the company he founded. He demanded the immediate return of a disputed £1.5m 'loan' knowing it would bankrupt Daval, whose monthly overheads were a staggering £200,000.
Shotton also stopped Daval from making more Aimspro to sell, which had an obvious impact on those users who believed it had some magical benefit.
The move was easy to execute because his wife's company, Aimsco Limited, owned the patent for Aimspro. Val Shotton also owned a large chunk of Daval shares through Gildredge Nominees Limited, a company Shotton also controlled.
In June 2016, Kevin Norville, a former senior partner at Deloitte, replaced Shotton as Daval's new chief executive with a brief to end the war and rescue the company.
Almost immediately, Norville, 64, raised concerns with the board about the "eye watering" wage bill of over £100,000 per month for a company that he felt had "achieved little in the past ten years."
Another "huge issue," he also wrote, was the way Shotton had sold or gifted huge blocks of shares to private individuals, members of his family and allies, sometimes without board approval.
The Upsetter confronts David Shotton July 2020

Shotton accepts no blame and points his tar-stained finger at long serving finance director and friend, Graham Ralph.
"The company sold my shares to support itself. Ralph sold them. I hate the man, he's a crook … He suddenly got a bloody great house worth a fortune and all the rest of it. Where did that come from? I have no idea. We were all on salaries," he told The Upsetter.
Ralph, 67, a Daval director for 16 years until 2017, and Shotton's personal accountant for a lot longer, dismissed the claims as "offensive and unfounded."
Shotton maintains that Daval only "became a fraud" after he had stepped down and accused Norville and Hunt of having "their hand in the till."
They "vehemently denied" the claim in a letter to bemused shareholders and cast themselves as men trying to save the company not steal it.
But in late 2018, a group of rebel shareholders mounted a boardroom coup.
Norville and Hunt found themselves having to deny allegations that all along they were secretly trying to "asset strip" Daval.
Just before Norville resigned in December that year he emailed Hunt about sorting out their shareholdings in Daval. He wrote:
"I don't know what your long-term intention is. Do you want ten years or more of working or sell out and gloat at poor people while sitting on the deck of your boat in Monaco sipping from solid 18ct gold goblets?"
The rebels saw this as further evidence of bad faith and sacked Hunt in May 2019. Norville says the boat reference was "an in joke that doesn't seem very funny now."
The former Deloitte partner claimed to still believe in the potential of Aimspro and looked to raise money from City investors to buy out Shotton's controlling interest at an asking price of £11.5 million – a lot cheaper than the £2bn price tag Rothschild previously suggested to hapless shareholders.
The new caretaker board also were believers in the serum and had their own plan to save the company and raise funds to produce an affordable version of Aimspro based on a much lower cricket score.
But first they decided to expose whatever took place under Shotton and Norville and build from the ashes. Peter Branch, 76, who led the shareholder rebellion, said all directors would have to explain themselves to the authorities when the time comes.
This time last year, Daval's board sent its 2600 shareholders a report alleging they had been "the victims of a gigantic fraud" going back twenty years, which had been reported to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs and the Insolvency Service.
"I'm not saying I haven't made mistakes. I probably have," Hunt said. "But I haven't ever tried to do anything to disadvantage Daval shareholders. I mean this is my family and friends who invested alongside myself. Shotton has milked it, there's no question about it."
Shotton told The Upsetter he welcomed an official probe.
"I never touched any money. Write what you like because there is no dirt on me. Everybody in the world has tried to drag it up. No one has ever proved anything about me. I have nothing to answer but a lot of people have … This is all going come up with the receiver because there's so much fraud."
A Cure for Covidiots
But just before he ended the conversation, the 80-year-old salesman couldn't resist one more claim about Aimspro. Porton Down, the secret government laboratory, had just "passed" his wonder drug as "the answer to Covid- 19", he said.
By this time, July 2020, some 45,000 people had died in the UK from 295,000 reported coronavirus cases – yet here was Shotton trying to cash in on the pandemic.
Shotton had put forward the serum to Porton Down through his company, Aimsco Limited, which had always owned the patent for Aimspro even though its development had been paid for by Daval shareholders.
At the height of the pandemic and before any vaccine was in sight, Aimsco used Twitter to claim it had what Big Pharma didn't – a solution to Covid-19.
Porton Down didn't see it that way. "An initial evaluation of Aimspro was carried out by PHE Porton Down at the company's request. Like other potential treatments for COVID-19 further evaluation was required to determine its efficacy," a spokesperson explained.
Porton Down had not carried out any human testing or trials on the goats serum.
Even Shotton's most loyal scientist, Dr Deirdre McIntosh, an Aimsco director-shareholder, contradicted her boss. "I think he should have said it is possibly the answer [to Covid-19]. I don't think he should have said it is because you would never know until you've tried it and proved it."
Isn't such reckless exaggeration the story of Aimspro? Dr McIntosh, 72, paused. "Yes, that's what sales people do isn't it? They overegg everything."
So Aimsco Limited is Shotton's new front, with a slick website that says very little and promises a lot. He is not a director but owns the company with his wife and brother and advises from behind the scenes.
A promo video for Aimsco Limited and its "revolutionary" drug Aimspro includes contributions from MS patients who had appeared in a run of excitable TV news items from the early days of Daval when journalists dumber than lab goats unwittingly helped prop up the share price.
Once again, Shotton is seeking a cash injection from the vulnerable, the incurable, the desperate to walk, to see, or just to turn over unassisted in bed.
There's a chance before their savings disappear that all the bad blood will come out, perhaps in an extraordinary meeting of shareholders, perhaps by regulatory action.
Only then will those who oversaw what happened here get a taste of their own medicine.

Princess Madeleine travels to Sweden: Palace confirms homecoming
This news makes Sweden's royal fans cheer: Princess Madeleine will not only return to her homeland, her trip to Stockholm is even imminent.
Stockholm – Last summer, Madeleine von Sweden (39), who emigrated to America with her family several years ago, visited Europe for the last time. As reported by 24royal.de *, the princess has been sorely missed by her compatriots since then.

On December 20, Madeleine will have a traditional appointment and receive this year's Christmas trees in the castle. Just a few days later, the next highlight follows, which the 39-year-old will not miss. On December 23rd, Queen Silvia * celebrates her 78th birthday, on the occasion of this special day the royal family usually meets at Drottningholm Palace *.

The holiday season is upon us, but as a business owner, you already know that. For many businesses, this is the most profitable time of year. For some it's exciting, and for others, it's a little nerve-wracking.
Small businesses often face a post-holiday cash-flow slump. Your business might face increased costs to accommodate for the influx of sales. With many staff on holiday leave, it's also possible for invoices to be ignored and cash-flow problems to arise. By offering early payment discounts to customers, you could avoid having to chase up those payments well into 2018. Moreover, it is important to take the time to forecast your cash flow, as this can help you identify periods when cash usage may be high. If you feel like you need some extra funds to tide you over for the holidays, it could be worth reviewing your credit score and taking out a loan with a lender such as OnDeck. OnDeck offers small business loans from $10,000 – $250,000 over 6-24 month terms, and applying online takes only 10 minutes.
Be sure to not only define these goals in terms of revenue. These goals should be SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. Add any other goals you may have such as social media following or business growth.
The holidays are a time of joy and excitement, so let your target audience know that you have what they need. Since you're a small business, you can show your customers that you actually care about them, and you can probably do it better than the big guys. Whether you have a brick-and-mortar shop, or your presence is predominantly online, getting into the holiday spirit can help attract new customers. It could also help you strengthen the loyalty of your existing customer base. Decorating your storefront windows, offering holiday specials or providing your customers with your holiday trading hours are just a few ideas. Engage with them further by utilising different platforms and channels to share relevant information with your existing and potential customers. You could even send out a Happy Holidays email to your customer base and go that extra mile to show you care!
You've done your best to anticipate the crowds, their needs, and to prepare your business, but is it enough? Make sure you have a plan to purchase extra inventory quickly if your holiday sales are better than expected. You don't want to be left empty handed when you could be making sales! An OnDeck small business loan could be a great way to provide that extra funding you might need to help you stay on top of the holiday rush.
It's likely that you've hired a few employees to help you over the busy season – especially if you're a retailer. Invest your time and train them properly. Even though you may not see its worth now, the better their training, the better experience your customers will have, and the less stressed you'll be about the unexpected rush. Putting in the hard yards short term can greatly benefit your business in the long run.

AIG Gets Away With It
Submitted by Robert Oak on April 3, 2010 - 5:43pm
What a surprise. CBS News is reporting there will be no criminal charges against AIG.
CBS NEWS has learned that former AIG executive Joseph Cassano - the prime focus of the investigation into its collapse - will meet with Department of Justice attorneys next week in what will likely be an end to the two year criminal investigation into the company.

Feds Closing in on AIG Financial Products Executive for Criminal Charges
Submitted by Robert Oak on March 30, 2009 - 10:56pm
Well, a small piece of good news from ABC:
The FBI and federal prosecutors are reportedly closing in on the AIG executive whose suspect investments cost the insurance giant hundreds of billions of dollars. The government is investigating whether or not 54-year old Brooklyn-native Joseph Cassano committed criminal fraud in virtually bankrupting the company
Not as exciting as Machine gun Kelly and shoot outs from the 1930's, instead assuredly the FBI and others are pouring over spread sheets, bank accounts, wire transfers and internal memos, but the idea of kidnapping an entire industry instead of a family is far more devestating!
Here's the real scam:

Stamford hair stylist Guy Sasson is cutting more than hair these days as he celebrates 30 years in business.
In July, the owner of Guy Sasson Salon turned back his prices to the day he opened his shop at 1092 High Ridge Road during the summer of 1979.
"I did it for my old clients in July to thank them for their business," said Sasson, 63, adding that he is offering new clients the same deal in August. "It was so busy that I have to keep it going."
The salon, which has seven stylists and 10 chairs in a 1,500-square-foot space, has gained about 100 new clients since posting the vintage prices, Sasson said.
"It's not shocking because the economy is tough," said Sasson, who worked for 10 years in New York City salons before opening his own place. "Until I started my promotion, business was very slow, and now it's packed."
The promotion, which includes 20 percent off first-time color treatments, offers $70 women's styles for $30 and men's haircuts, which typically cost $45, for $25.
The shop's other services include makeup, waxing, highlights and keratin hair straightening.
Looking back over three decades, Sasson said that one of the greatest perks of owning his salon, which serves about 60 customers a day, is passing on his craft to others.
"I've trained a lot of stylists who now have their own shops, and I'm very proud of that," said Sasson, whose name brought on a lawsuit by celebrity hair stylist Vidal Sassoon in the 1970s. Vidal Sassoon became an international brand for Procter & Gamble. "They did not win, though, because it was my name."
Offering yesterday's prices in today's economy as a way to thank the community is a smart move, said Jack Condlin, president and chief executive officer of the Stamford Chamber of Commerce.
"Kudos to Guy," he said.

2010 OLC Review
By Diane Mettler
The Oregon Logging Conference is always a good place to get a sense of the industry. This year, it was obvious everyone is tightening their belts and scaling back -- attendees and exhibitors alike. The industry is used to weathering storms, so scaling back didn't stop the show from being a success.
Attendance this year was over 4,000 during the three day event. "We're finding loggers are attending the show for one or two days, and if they can't take Thursday or Friday off work, they come up to the show on Saturday," says Executive Director Rikki Wellman.
The 204 exhibitors on hand were also scaling back and taking smaller booths. With the smaller booths, all the exhibitors were able to squeeze into the main Convention Center.
"This proved to be a positive move for everyone," says Wellman. "The energy and the crowds inside were very good."
Outdoors, attendees got the opportunity to look up close at the state-of-the-art forest equipment on display. There were also a number of live portable sawmill demonstrations, as well as a live mobile chipper demo by Bruks, a first-time exhibitor.
Log Loader Event
The OLC's new log loader event, held Thursday and Friday afternoon, was a crowd pleaser.
"There were 20 competitors from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, who competed head-to-head to see who was the best log loader operator in the west," says Wellman.
Winners this year were:
First Place -- Kevin Sell, Hill and Blaylock Logging from Coquille, Oregon with a time of 5:54.06 (minutes)
Second Place -- Ross Cribbs, Van Wells Timber, Dallas, Oregon
Third Place -- Dave Wickizer, Wayne Stone Logging, Sandy, Oregon.
"This will be an annual event at the show," says Wellman. And she hopes to see more competitors next year. "Plans are already moving forward for the 2nd Annual Log Loader Competition."
Education is always an important part of the conference, and this year it was no different. On Thursday afternoon, 600 people packed into the Wheeler Pavilion to listen to the "What's New in Biomass" panel. The same crowds attended the keynote address and additional chairs had to be added.
For many, the conference is a great way to maintain their education credits. This year, as in the past, attendees could receive up to 9 credits if they attended all the panels and seminars.
New Machinery at the Show
Times may be tough, but that hasn't stopped companies from creating innovative, new products. The following products were at the show this year:
Koller K702 Power Yarder. The K702 Power yarder is Koller's newest and most powerful track, truck, or trailer mounted yarder. The tower stands 39'-40' with extension. Line pull with the skyline is 26,450 lbs. and, with winch 1 and 2, it's 17,640 lbs. And it's equipped with a self-supporting frame, allowing simple assembly on various trucks and trailers.
Eagle Debuts Electric Choker. Just cock the trigger back and close it to activate this easy-to-use, electronic choker. The cable is attached to the choker and once the load is lifted, the choker can be opened by remote control from up to 30 yards away.
Bruks 805.2 STC Mobile Chipper. The 805.2 STC is the company's multi-function version featuring infeed from the side and a high-dumping chip bin. The machine can be installed on forwarders and trucks, as well as other vehicles. It features a powerful, fuel-efficient 450 HP Scania diesel engine and can easily process logging slash and roundwood up to 20" in diameter
Quadco's Two New Drum Mowers. On display were Quadco's new 44" and 56" heavy-duty direct driver mowers. The mowers mulch vegetation into fine material, discharging directly to the ground. They're simple and easy to use, using only 3 hydraulic lines -- 2 additional hydraulic lines are required for the optional rotator. They are ideal for a 20+-ton excavator and drive-to-tree machines.
Peterson 4300 Drum Chipper. The chipper can handle logs up to 26", brush, and small feedstock. It is powered by a C18 Caterpillar engine and is available in three power ratings -- 630, 700, and 765 HP. The 4300 utilizes a 36" diameter by 44.75" wide drum with wear resistant AR450 wear surfaces on the drum pockets and shell.
Waratah 623C. The head features large, high-torque feed motors, delimbing power, and great balance of feed speed, and it is designed for a 25-ton carrier. The head's hydraulic design provides high-flow characteristics combined with low-pressure drop for increased performance. The butt saw and top saw have a maximum cutting diameter of 30" and 18" respectively. It has three feed rollers with full hydraulic synchro-drive, and various feed roller options are available.
Wintersteiger Banso Bandsaw Blades. Banso bandsaw blades hale from Germany. They are manufactured from C75 -- a special German steel with combined toughness and flexibility. Wintersteiger employs state-of-the-art production methods in tooth-cutting, setting, and sharpening to ensure perfect cutting and long service life for these affordable blades.
Positive Mood -- Successful Show
Despite the challenges the industry is facing, the mood was upbeat.
"The show exceeded my expectations," says Wellman. "With the difficult economy over the past two years,
I felt the 2010 show proved to live up to being a quality equipment show."
She adds, "This year was my 38th conference to be involved with, so I go back to the good ole' days. But with all of the changes our industry has gone through, and will continue to go through, I felt the 2010 OLC "Logging, Construction, Trucking and Heavy Equipment Show" has survived the tough times. The OLC will continue to work to provide the best program topics for our attendees and quality for our exhibitors, and we will continue this direction well into the future."
Dates for the 73rd OLC will be February 24-26, 2011. For ongoing information, visit www.oregonloggingconference.com.

"The idea for the genePod Nano came to me in a dream in the year 1976"
An iPod Nano, commonly mistaken as the "iPod Nanna" (which is not an iPod, but is a little old lady with an iPod or an iPod ruined by an iBanana) was created to compensate for the directors of Apple's "bits and pieces". Not only are they slim but they are also small.
The Apple iPod Nano is widely regarded as Microsoft's attempt to jump on the Nanotechnology bandwagon. This is deemed as a necessary step towards McDonalds's entrance and eventual domination of the Nanotech market that would include tiny devices with even tinier animated paperclips.
If you are tech savvy and can use a soldering tool, you can upgrade your 4GB iPod nano to an ample 1TB of storage.
The device is an mp3 player with dimensions in the order of 10 − 9 {\displaystyle 10^{-9}} m, and being roughly square. It is able to plug a square hole of similar size, like those causing floods in many poorer territories of the world. Despite its humanitarian applications (preventing floods), which remain unnoticed by all but the most philanthropic spoiled children, the iPod Nano is primarily a commercial venture.
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia think they have an article very remotely related to IPod Nano.

While this makes it practically useless, the ability to play songs with only a small gap between them allows Nano owners to join many tracks, resulting in a roughly 1/3 speed rendition of any particular song. This has itself led to controversy, as the lyrics in some rap music can be discerned - leaving many offended, but even more people bewildered and slightly jumpy. On the plus side, 'Spaceman' by Meatloaf is returned to a normal pitch. Fortunately, the long pauses for thinking present in the speeches of George W Bush and similar pauses inserted by Tony Blair in order to emulate the iconic Texan he seems to idolise make their speeches even more impossible to listen to.
Use[edit]
Using the iPod Nano is difficult. Part of this difficulty results from...well if you haven't noticed till now, its ridiculous size. Being nano in size, its buttons are a further 2 order of magnitudes less i.e. 10 − 11 {\displaystyle 10^{-11}} m. Due to such a small size, determining which button is pressed is beyond the scope of present technology. Rather, buttons get pressed entirely randomly and only follow a probabilistic distribution model. So you might end up deleting a song when you had the noble intention of just playing it.
It might also get lost in one of the lines on your palm. In order to enable use of the truly minuscule device Apple Computers has provided a number of lightweight Nuclear warheads that the Nano can fit inside. These fit in the palm of the hand and contain a larger version of the screen, scroll wheel and headphone sockets on the actual Nano. It is this case that is seen in Ipod Nano 200gb Instructions page. Griffin Technology have been working on an iPsych, a mind control device, that when used in conjunction with their iTrip tablet induces euphoria and allows a user to control the sub-microscopic device. The iTrip is illegal in the UK. Whilst email scammers have been in negotiations with iMarketing over the iFellForIt and its usage rights, the scammers presented a long list of details including name, address, date of birth and bank details of existing "I-Fell-For-It" members, thus claiming to have existing rights over the concept.
Besides the iPod Nano's musical capabilities, it also has a wide variety of other uses:
Cuban laser wielding tool
Buttering toast
Unbuttering toast
Attacking younger siblings
Construction tool for modern day lightsabers
Launching a pre-emptive strike on the French
Stopping a pre-emptive strike on the French
Continuing a pre-emptive strike on the French
Destroying the French altogether
Unclogging a Toilet
Taming dogs
Taming Amy Winehouse
Taming dogs pretending to be Amy Winehouse
Hacking Youtube pages about Amy Winehouse
Wirelessly getting free stuff from Vending Machines
Wirelessly getting free 'stuff' from Amy Winehouse
Taking over any country, except Switzerland
Painting (4th gen only)
iPod Invisa[edit]
The iPod Nano is said to be a more consumer focused version of the iPod Invisa, which was found in extensive user research to be too feature packed for the average user to comprehend or accept, leaving them feeling worthless and incompetent. Moreover since this product was invisible, consumers felt cheated when, having shelled out $62,877 on one of these gadgets, an empty box was delivered to their home.
Size Debate[edit]
'Larger' men have complained that the player waters down the principle that 'bigger is better', an idea Apple seem to be entertaining with their IPod yotta. However, the 'below average' half of the popula
iPod nano's caused the death of blackbeard.
tion have been praising apple for releasing something so capable yet so small, backing up their rhetoric about the use something is put to being more important than it's physical characteristics. This group, believed to have invented M&M's minis and bite-sized candy bars, are said to be one of the main target audiences (along with aforementioned spoiled children).
Controversy[edit]
Some religious groups have objected to the iPod Nano, claiming that witchcraft must have been used in its design. In response to this, Apple have released a press statement claiming Steve Jobs is in fact God, and that he will use witchcraft if he wants to (an attitude seen in his dealings with Disney and Pixar). More serious objections have arisen from the lobby of environmentalists. According to them, iPod nanos are so small, they keep getting lost from their owners and escaping into the atmosphere. This has led to a relatively new form of air pollution called iPoddution. Moreover, iPod nanos are believed to have entered the digestive systems of cattle in large amounts and thereby has led to whiteness in their dung.
Last reports showed Jobsism is catching on fast, and black polo necks have been flying off the shelves in Bible Belt America.
Other groups, however, claim that what they can't see doesn't exist. Jobs has shown these Doubting Thomas' holes in his hands and feet, which he claims contain thousands of iPod Nanos.
One other controversial issue is the battery's life, which is very poor. Currently jobless, friendless and ugly, the battery is arguably the weakest component of the iPod.
Types Of iPod Nano's[edit]
People have realized that the 3rd generation (a.k.a the piece of fat shit) iPod Nano is fatter than the others of it's kind. Why? Because one of the fat grannies squashed it in the making and Steve blow Jobs had no choice but to release it for the fact he couldn't be fucked changing it to the original design. The fourth gen (aka the tall one without a video camera),was made of chocolate and melted when you turned it on, typical Apple garbage.
Size[edit]
People have reported sitting on their IPod nano by accident and it getting stuck up their ass. People poop it out and after hours and hours of cleaning it was okay. People also have had them for dinner and people hold them and crush them.

This paper proposes a method to estimate muscle activity with taking account the volumetric effects of muscles. We analyze muscles as elastic bodies by using finite element method combined with computation technique in robotics. We describe the way to estimate muscle force and deformation as the problem to find muscle activity which produce joint torque calculated by inverse dynamics subject to equilibrium equation of elastic bodies. This problem is solved as sequential quadratic programming with finite element analysis in parallel for each muscle.

Karen from SIRONA highlighted the importance of front loading new staff members' inductions to allow for the early completion of 'line of sight' activities. She had also designed a portfolio that could be used to collect evidence for the Care Certificate and said she will make it freely available to members of the Network. A new post within the NHS has also been created to ensure consistency of quality in relation to the certificate across a range of providers, which seems a very good idea.

In the time I've spent on this blog, I've had a lot of luck finding nut-free kosher bakeries. For some reason, there's a (relative) abundance of them in and around the city, so I wasn't exactly surprised when I found out about Stern's. There's no such thing as too many when it comes to nut-free bakeries (or nut-free anythings, for that matter)—so of course, I had to give Stern's a try.
There isn't much information about Stern's to be found online. Their factory, located in the very Orthodox neighborhood of Borough Park, is wholesale-only, but their Yelp page led me to believe they had a retail storefront, too. When I went, though, it was nowhere to be found, no matter how many people I asked for directions. Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe it doesn't exist; either way, though, pretty much every market in the area had a wide array of Stern's products, so I still managed to make it home with a sizable haul of baked goods—all with the words "made in a nut-free facility" on the packaging.
The first thing I tried (on my train ride home, of course) was a single-serving Confetti Brownie, which looks a whole lot like a Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownie. At first bite, I didn't really like it—it was too sweet, and the chocolate tasted too artificial—but the texture won me over, and by the end, I was wishing I had more. The chocolate danish, though, was worlds better. It was moist and thick, with plenty of far-less-artificial-tasting chocolate, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Finally: the black and white seven layer cake (pictured above). Somehow, I actually managed to wait until I got home before digging into this one. Honestly, though, it wasn't very good. It smelled exactly like a Hostess CupCake, and it didn't taste much better. It was far too sweet, though I think there's a good chance the regular seven layer cake would have been better, as it doesn't seem to have as many layers of frosting (or whatever that stuff is—I'm not sure).
Still, Stern's is a solid option for (nut-free!) packaged baked goods. Their products are better (and probably safer) than anything made by Hostess, Drake's, or Little Debbie—and though I like Green's better, Stern's is certainly a company I'm willing to throw my very inconsequential weight behind.
That's too bad that you schlepped all that way and couldn't find a storefront! Glad you mostly liked it anyway.
It's okay—it was an adventure!


Five hundred faces illuminated San Francisco City Hall this week as part of the Global Climate Action Summit. The artwork, called "The Standing March," was created by American filmmaker Darren Aronofsky and French artist JR.
A startling sight met passersby of San Francisco City Hall this week: hundreds of monochrome faces staring out from the front face of the government building.
Called "The Standing March," the massive projection was created by American filmmaker Darren Aronofsky and French artist JR. The artwork features 500 people "from different backgrounds" rotating themselves 180 degrees to "remind leaders that the world is watching" as they gather to discuss climate change, a statement on the artwork's website said.
"The Standing March" visited San Francisco on Wednesday and Thursday nights in conjunction with the Global Climate Action Summit, which brought dozens of leaders, visionaries, activists and celebrities to San Francisco this week. The piece covered the nooks and crevices of the lower section of the Beaux Arts building, while its dome was bathed in a vivid green.
Five hundred faces illuminated San Francisco City Hall this week as part of the Global Climate Action Summit.
The artwork first appeared during the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris and has since traveled around the world. Its debut followed a massive terrorist attack in Paris that led to the deaths of 130 people. Marches were forbidden in the city at the time of the conference, which followed shortly after the attacks, due to security reasons.
"But our piece is a silent march," JR said of the artwork, in a statement.
"We must think about our future, the future of our environment," he continued, "and this is our answer to those who want to control our present."
The Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco concludes Friday night, with a concert at the Masonic headlined by Patti Smith, Bob Weir, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and former Animals singer Eric Burdon.
