The topic of the IT band and the use of foam rollers comes up quite often in my practice and I wanted to share information with you today regarding this topic that I often with client to help them make choices with my help and of their own personal trainers and physical therapist. Most often I will see people that will be tight in the area of their hips and glutes and IT band. The statements can be caused by a wide array of activities however the solution to most of these problems is releasing the tissue in the correct order to not hinder performance or cause unnecessary discomfort. Today I'd like to go over some of the general principles that guide my thought process in the use of these products.
The IT bands are a stabilizing layer of tissue on the outside of the thigh which is the extension of a muscle originating in the hips and going down to the knees. It's main purpose is to assist in the stabilization of movement caused by walking upright. There are number of muscles in the body which help us to do this which are located in the glutes and a group of muscles in the upper and mid leg called the adductors. Some of these muscles are relatively small others are very large but the IT bands get a great deal of attention simply because they're easy to touch and to feel the tension. Without these stabilizing tissues are legs will not be able to remain underneath us during motion so the proper balance of these muscles and health of these muscles is vital to athletic performance.
Let's look at the reasons why people turn to foam rollers in the first place (the problem they want to work on). The one I hear most often is tightness with pain in the out edge of the knee where the I.T. band "inserts" or attaches. The one I hear the second most often is that when a person touches their IT band through their skin and they believe that the level of tension they feel is somehow unnatural or not optimal for their bodies athletic performance. Let me make one ticket or point of no here and that is that on my exercise in rehab professionals there still a significant debate as to what the causes of these pain points are whether it be the IT band itself or the surrounding adductor tissue. There is even debate as well about the proper way to release the tissue in terms of what muscles or tissue should be released first, second, third and so on. I will endeavor however to provide you information I believe it's the most current and objective regarding this topic but I also encourage everyone to study on the wrong finding objective sources.
So first let's do a simple body analysis that covers most individuals one of their athletes or not. There is always going to be weaknesses and then balances in the body due to the nature of our existence and that is not a natural or unhealthy to have some minor and balances throughout the body. It is a specialization and the repetitive nature of our moderate exercise culture that I believe it is responsible for much problem in the IT band and the hips. Some of the newest trends are to go back to a widely varying activity type athletic training program which allows the body to act within its full range of motion and strength which I believe is the most effective way to keep the body and overall balance and it's tension and pain level as was naturally intended.
As a full body analysis those glutes muscles can be stronger or weaker than others even though they're in the same general area because of the purpose of muscles serve so repetitive abuse of certain muscles because were doing repetitive activities can be much of the source of this IT band and hip pain. In my opinion if the healthcare community wanted to do something truly positive for the outcomes of their patients people would have better access to preventative care in this regard. A great example would be to find out if the bone structure of the hips back and lower body was in correct alignment. If those areas are functioning normally I believe another step would be to look at nutritional factors or issues whether they are playing any part in a lack of muscle development or a lack of proper nutrition getting to the tissue. I would then make sure that a thorough analysis of their muscle structure is done to ensure that tension in all directions was equal and balance often termed the trend security balance. And doing some of that fundamental research prior to start of treatment I believe that many people would get these aches and pains settled without the use of this adaptive devices. Who is to say that a tape glue muscle is not the source of the IT band pain or a hip being degraded by wear and tear is not causing an imbalance or muscle firing problem instead of the IT band? Without a reasonable analysis I believe it is unprofessional for anyone to attempt to start treating someone without that basic information Anchorage every client to make sure that we eliminate as many of those factors as possible prior to any treatment.
What harm can foam roller do and what are some of the benefits to using one? Answer to the benefit question this is still someone in debate. Foam rollers are marketed as a way for the connective tissue to get stretched out and provide better circulation in terms of length and blood flow into the muscles underneath the IT band. Well, the foam roller in principle does stretch the connective tissue and forms of connective tissue release are not as great or better at performing this task. Many manufacturers will also say that phone rollers and in pain management by releasing pressure and vital joints. In many cases foam rollers have also been used on the back and neck the back of the legs for the same purpose now I'm to stretch and hydrate the tissue but to reduce pressure points on major joints. Again, the issue becomes whether the bones are in proper alignment and the muscles were probably needs take joints are actually too tight where it has some of the muscles nearby maybe week causing a muscular compensation. Again, that is a debate point to this day. Then there is a question of harm. Using a foam roller on the IT bands is considered to be one of the most painful things in math we can do. The reason for this is very simple you're taking a hard cylindrical object and rolling it over phone of which if there's any tight spots between the phone and the roller it will have tremendous amount of pressure laid upon it. In any case is this triggers the healing response which is marketed as a benefit. In my experience and speaking with other personal trainers and physical therapist they often times point out the fact that many people who purchase them do not use them be on the first 3 or 8 sessions. The reason most often given to them which was free stated to me that the excruciating pain involved in using them as a deterrent from continued regular use. In many cases personal trainers especially if indicated that regular use of the phone roller over a period of months can have a tremendous impact on the tension level felt in the IT bands and if continue uses followed can significantly reduce the pain their clients tell them they have. Again, this is a matter of causation relationships impacting peoples opinions but not totally rooted in proper ignition diagnostics to determine the true cause of the pain in the first place.
Most foam rollers can be used by individuals once they have been properly instructed on how to use and buy a qualified professional in that regard they can then be used at home under supervision. This cost saving and convenient way to continue the therapy at a reduced rate is very attractive to many people. For that reason alone I believe that their popularity will continue and the redesign of these types of products will continue for sometime to come as well as more research becomes available. My best advice for anyone with tight IT band or considering using foam rollers is to get a proper assessment of the entire hip and leg region of the body before buying one of these products. The idea is to look for other possible causes and to get a much more accurate and clear picture as to your current state of health when I comes to this region of the body to make sure that you were correcting and issue rather than simply treating symptoms. Taking the extra time to find the cause will save you and your other medical professionals a great deal of time and money guild much more significant results for you.
If you have any questions regarding this topic I urged people to contact a qualified professionals such as a personal trainers, rehabilitative therapist, massage therapist, chiropractic doctors to get your questions answered.


Is this dog out of control?
A PROFESSIONAL dog trainer reckons he copped a rough deal after being fined $243 at Marcoola Beach last week for an out of control dog.
Mark Nathan, a Hendra-based dog trainer was visiting a friend in Marcoola last week and had headed down to the beach with his dog Buster, whom he rescued and began training, when he was fined $243 for not having proper control of Buster.
Mr Nathan said his dog was sitting next to him, off-leash, on the beach, in between Mr Nathan and his friend, after they'd headed to the beach to do some filming of his training for his business website.
He said he'd thrown Buster a cattledog/border collie 'bitsa' a ball after walking onto the beach before sitting down not far from the beach access.
'Out of control' dog showing off : Mark Nathan's dog was deemed out of control on Marcoola Beach. He says Buster is anything but.
He's written to Maroochydore MP Fiona Simpson about the incident, telling her a dune buggy pulled up and two council officers approached, one of them explaining to him dogs had to be on a leash. Her office explained the matter was for the council.
Mr Nathan said he apologised, explaining he was not from the area and hadn't seen the sign, before his details were taken and he was advised he would be getting fined $243 for the offence. He said the officer then directed him to the nearest off-leash area.
He said the fine was "fair enough" as he'd been in the wrong, but he'd hoped they might've warned him rather than fined him straight away, given he was unfamiliar with the area. He said he didn't like the wording of the offence, arguing "not under effective management" made it sound like he had a "savage" on the loose. Mr Nathan posted a copy of the fine he received last Wednesday which stated the penalty was for "animal not under effective management in public place".
Mr Nathan said as a dog trainer and behaviouralist, he believed Buster was well under control sitting next to him and he was also of the opinion that effective control was not limited to physical constraints.
He said feedback on his social media post had been mixed, with some believing he had broken the law whule others agreeing the penalty had bene over the top.
He said what had frustrated him was he'd seen someone running with three dogs on the beach only moments earlier, but to his knowledge they'd escaped unpunished.
A council spokeswoman said the council took a "zero tolerance" approach to irresponsible dog ownership. "It is a dog owners' responsibility to ensure that a dog is on a lead at all times, unless there is signage in place advising it is an off leash area," the spokeswoman said.


It has been exactly one month after my brother Lawrence passed away. His death came as a surprise for us because he never gave us signs or warnings even just a day before he died. That made it more difficult for us to accept his passing. He left us without telling us or letting us know what he's feeling, if he's sick or what.
Though I always try my best to look at the bright side of life, I still can't help but question the events. There are so many people on their sickbeds waiting for death to end their misery... people in prisons who deserve life sentence. Of all people why him? He has not yet fully enjoyed his earthly life. If he was gravely ill a few days before he died, we might have prepared ourselves. We might have bid him farewell and let him know that he is loved. It would have been easier for us to accept because we know that he is prepared for his final departure.
It has been a month but yet the memory is still fresh. I can vividly recall my uncle calmly telling me that he's gone... Seeing him in the emergency room covered in white cloth... not moving... lifeless! The thought of him gone keeps on breaking my heart again and again and again. I think it will never stop breaking. I wonder how long am I gonna stay this way. I know he doesn't want to know that I'm emotionally troubled right now but I can't help it. I can't help not to grieve for the loss of someone who loved me in his own special way.

A woman tells the Dollmaker.
—What happens in your shop
Why do you spend all night and day in there
It can't be for the sake of money
You wouldn't have time to spend it anyway
So why the work all day?
Look there, the bootmaker
Returning from the fair
He sways under the wind like a young oak
You know, he's got a knife in his coat pocket
Can't bring himself to part with it you see
And look,
The baker closed up early
To get a taste of that new wine
He was invited to the inn to dine
And those strange merchants
With children of their own
Rebellious lads and firebrand girls
Made up of flesh and blood, not wood, or cloth or bone
The Dollmaker's Dream.
He feels himself a marionette
He feels—suspended in the air by strings
He feels a glove on his right hand
A cap on his white head
And here he feels—his arms and legs
In all directions, all directions, all directions, spread
And from the side, wide eyes are watching him
Sometimes a sneeze is heard over his head
And he is helpless, nothing to be done
And he is helpless, with no desire to do anything
He even forgot, that all his strength
Is not enough for the former nor the latter
The dolls discuss their master.
—We are grateful to him, for the material he used to make us
That we are composed of molecules
Moreover, we have a master,
Who has endowed us with a plastic skeleton
And stuffed us with oakum
Who like us is made up of molecules
And atoms, in turn—out of subatomic particles
We thank him, because he delights us with his aroma
Of course, if we were better
If we weren't lazy loafers in the dust
Didn't throw ourselves into the coals like butts of cigarettes
A doll's monologue.
There's nothing to be: this is our lot
Anything can be expected
From the body's categories, designed for pleasure
For the aging generation
It is important to remember Epictetus
And go about our duties notwithstanding
Or maybe it's just best to see it all
As just a prologue to another state of affairs
And only then—will we begin to know
Blowing our horns made out of porcelain
Remember how to craft yourself out of yourself
And no one will judge you there

Poetry by Danila Davydov
Translated from the Russian by Peter Golub
Greek Stoic philosopher who taught that the key to wisdom is knowing what one can and cannot control. According to Epictetus, humans only have full control over our own minds. We don't have control over our bodies, our possessions, or our reputations, and trying to control those elements will only lead to a "slavery of the soul."

Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide treats high blood pressure. Avoid salt substitutes containing potassium.
Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure. It is a single product containing 2 medications: valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Valsartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances that tighten the blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of medications called diuretics ('water pills'). It works by causing the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.
Common side effects of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide include nausea, a condition of excess uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia), and upper respiratory tract infection. Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide can also cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide affects you.
Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure.
Serious side effects have been reported with valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. See the "Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide Precautions" section.
This is not a complete list of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
This is not a complete list of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide drug interactions. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
harm to an unborn baby causing injury and even death.
allergic reactions. People with and without allergy problems or asthma who take valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide may get allergic reactions.
worsening of lupus. Hydrochlorothiazide, one of the medicines in valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, may cause lupus to become active or worse.
kidney problems. Kidney problems may become worse in people that already have kidney disease. Some people will have changes on blood tests for kidney function and may need a lower dose of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Call your doctor if you get swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands, or unexplained weight gain. If you have heart failure, your doctor should check your kidney function before prescribing valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide.
skin rash. Call your doctor right away if you have an unusual skin rash.
Medications can interact with certain foods. In some cases, this may be harmful and your doctor may advise you to avoid certain foods. In the case of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, salt substitutes containing potassium should be avoided.
Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide falls into category D. It has been shown that use of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in pregnant women caused some babies to be born with problems. However, in some situations, the benefit of using this medication may be greater than the risk of harm to the baby.
It is not known whether valsartan is excreted in human milk. Hydrochlorothiazide is excreted in human breast milk. Because many drugs are excreted into human milk and because of the potential for adverse reactions in nursing infants from valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Take valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide exactly as prescribed.
Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide comes in tablet form and is taken once daily, with or without food. If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses of valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide at the same time.
The usual starting dose is valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide 160/12.5mg. The dosage can be increased after 1 to 2 weeks of therapy to a maximum of one 320/25mg tablet once daily to control blood pressure.
If you take too much valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide, call your healthcare provider or local Poison Control Center, or seek emergency medical attention right away. If valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide is administered by a healthcare provider in a medical setting, it is unlikely that an overdose will occur. However, if overdose is suspected, seek emergency medical attention.
Store valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide at room temperature in a closed container in a dry place.
When pregnancy is detected, discontinue valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide as soon as possible. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and even death to the developing fetus.

The Founders Series Part 2
Founding Fallacy
In 1787, a tall, strongly-built man with powered white hair, in period dress, descended from a hill in Philadelphia, and, in a voice that sounded remarkably like Charlton Heston's, handed down two tablets containing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The multitudes cheered; many fell to their knees in awe and gratitude. Timeless words, hewed in stone, expressing all the accumulated wisdom and truth, for all eternity.
You have to admit, it would make a great movie.
One of the peculiarities of the way we think about our history is our conflation of the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence, and adoption of the Constitution. It's actually the Declaration that made the film—a musical. It's July 4th, 1776 (actually, July 2nd) and there they all are, in the Trumbull painting, stout of character and resolute. Tallest amongst them is Jefferson, author of the powerful words "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
I love that image. I know what preceded it was a year of listless and pointless debate, as George Washington's Army, under-funded and under-supplied, did its best to stave off crushing defeat. I know there was very substantial opposition to the idea of independence from many of the people in that room, and they mirrored the doubts of the population at large. John Adams was obnoxious and disliked, it cannot be denied. And I know that the moment itself would not have been possible without a shameful tabling of the issue of slavery.
But still, it seems to belong to me—and even the reason my grandparents crossed the ocean a century ago to come here—the singular moment in time when "We" stopped being subjects of a distant King and became possessed of unalienable rights. It is the moment when we owned our own destinies. Jefferson's words are simplicity itself, and immutable. From this date henceforth, we are free. They marked an ending, and a beginning.
That is not what occurred with the adoption of the Constitution. The Constitution is an acknowledgement of the limits of freedom. What Washington, and Madison, Hamilton, and Jay understood was that the right to say no to everything, to go your own way on all points, to always be governed by your personal self-interest, whether the "you" was a person, a town, or a state, was incompatible with the growth of a nation. To the contrary, they believed that the 13 original states inability to act in concert created an existential risk to the very idea of freedom itself. The British surrender at Yorktown and Treaty of Paris notwithstanding, the Brits really weren't going away, and the rest of Europe took little note of us. This had to be fixed.
So, if the Declaration was a glorious Big Bang, the Constitution began the organization of the galaxies, solar systems, and planets.
That one step—organization out of disorder, meant, by definition, that a lot of power was passing from one set of hands to the other. Every signer of the Constitution had lived under a monarchy, and the monarchy could act decisively without additional consent. The act of political regicide that was the Declaration released those restrictions and dissipated that power. Now, the people who came to be called Nationalists (and later, Federalists) were proposing to reconstitute that power, only in a form that was more representative.

The Founders Find The Invisible Hand
There is a core incongruity at the center of the Constitution. It might even be described as a core incompatibility. By every historical example available to the drafters at that time, it shouldn't have worked.
Republics, to the extent they existed, had either grown large, autocratic, unwieldy, and then collapsed on themselves (like the Roman Republic), or remained small and un-influential, like the numerous Swiss Cantons, each of which had their own armies, border controls, and currencies.
In effect, Madison, on behalf of the Nationalists, was arguing three things, all of which were open to dispute. The first was that the system created by the Articles wasn't working, and the nation was the lesser for it. The second was the reason the Articles weren't working was because of the weaknesses of the republican system: The "democratic" elements that existed in each state—local government, a state legislature, a chief executive, bred insularity and a tendency to be dominated by special interests. Madison abhorred factionalism. But the third was a peculiar elide. The same system that did not work on the state level could and would work if applied nationally.
There was obviously vigorous "political" opposition. The larger and more powerful states liked their heft, and the smaller ones liked their autonomy. In their respective communities, within their fiefdoms, the new structure might have had some flaws (a bankrupt national treasury and unpaid soldiers came to mind) but, at home, it looked pretty good to them. State government was certainly more representative and less dictatorial than a distant King, and it was unquestionably more representative of their interests.
But, even if you agreed, politically, with the first two of Madison's points, where is the intellectual justification for the third? If each state was an example of a smaller form of republic, with an executive and a state legislature, and local municipalities, all tending to local interests, why wouldn't that same lack of broader vision also apply to a Federal Government? In fact, why wouldn't a more powerful central structure amplify the very shortcomings Madison was critiquing—more factionalism, more pettiness?
David Stewart, in his recent book, "Madison's Gift" says Madison's solution is "mechanistic, suitable to an age in which clockworks were a powerful metaphor." In effect, Madison would build a better mousetrap, where systemic checks and balances would create an environment of vigorous debate, followed by both consensus and decisiveness.
Stewart's formulation is in line with most contemporary evaluations—the Constitution as a marvelous and enduring machine, begun as a contract, or better yet, a compact, between consenting adults, self-correcting and perfect. As a lawyer, it appeals to my sense of order and of bilateral obligations.
But, I don't find it fully satisfying. Madison was too intelligent to believe that the small state government model was fully scalable. First, to create a muscular new nation, you needed muscle at the top. That involved an element of coercion—not as much as his fellow author of the Federalist Papers, Hamilton, wanted, but nevertheless, someone, or some body, had, at certain times, to be King. You could devise a system where the respective parts of government could review each other's actions, and even reverse them (the power of the purse, Judicial Review, the veto, veto-override, etc.) but that process had to have limits.
Second, I just don't think Madison trusted men enough to think any system he or anyone else devised would always be up to the task. The very things Madison worried about— "No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause, because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his integrity. With equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men are unfit to be both judges and parties at the same time" are not fully resolved by his schematic, and he had to have realized that. His own "first draft", the Virginia Proposal, which presumably reflected his true desires, was far more top-heavy than what was ultimately adopted. And, he initially opposed the Bill of Rights, switching sides after he saw it as a political necessity, not necessarily a philosophical one.

The Flowering of Landscape Art
If you ever want to see the placid and wondrous nature of art, landscape paintings are the one you should look at.
The way the ocean waves are showed crashing on the shore, or the aesthetic appeal that humongous yet strikingly beautiful mountains exhibit, or the serene glare of the trees, the essence of Landscape paintings is just unparalleled.
Landscape art, as per the experts, started in Chinese, Greek and Roman empires. Although the purpose was purely decorative and the painting was done on the huge walls of villas, we can see a hint of landscape origination there.
However, it was not until the 15th century that the Landscape paintings were taken as a full time course in the art world.
Have you ever thought how it all did start?
What made artists of those time to picture the extreme mesmerising attribute of nature with colours, strokes of brushes, and alluring patterns?
This blog is going go to give you a full insight into the evolutionary journey of Landscape paintings. Let's begin:
Landscape art and the Dutch
It was the artists from the Netherlands who actually decoded the concept of landscape paintings.
What other artists (from other regions) did wrong was they continued putting the background beyond a parapet or windowsill to eradicate the issue.
But there was no literal usage of figures left in the crafting of Landscape paintings by the 15th century.
Few of the known landscape artists are Jacob van Ruisdael, Fra Bartolomeo and Albrecht Durer.
The beauty of landscape art is that artists used to illustrate the beauty of the places they had never been. Like a lot of artists actually showcased the serene beauty of the forested Italian hills they had never been to.
It was during this time that landscape paintings were first time realized as sellable artwork. By the mid-1600s, the artists started sketching exotic landscapes that become quite popular.
The golden age for Dutch paintings started with the dawn of 17th century. It was during this time that painters developed artistry in showcasing the transformations in weather and light.
The Dutch painters during this time were highly applauded for their breath-taking illustration of skies.
During the 18th and 19th century, people started showing less interest in the religion-based paintings that lead to the elevated rising of the landscape art.
The themes in these times were moonlit scenes, farms, villages, battle scenes, and forests.
Landscape art and the French
It was not until the early 19th century that French artists become the contributors in Landscape art form.
Barbizon school, which was known for its focus on realism, gave the world great landscape artists such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and others.
John Constable was the one who dared to move the theme of art away from the formalism. He inspired artists to depict the beauty of nature.
Quite a few landscape artists started crafting paintings with the theme based on nature only. This marked the beginning of plein-air types of paintings where artists used to take their canvas outdoor to craft nature patterns in the most aesthetic manner.
The United States and the Landscape art
Since landscape paintings were beginning to mark their prominence all over the globe by the 19th century, the United States was also beginning to realise its significance.
The inception of the Hudson River School in America by numerous landscape artists was the result of this.
Typically, Hudson River School consistently focused on mainly 3 themes i.e. settlement, exploration, and discovery.
The artists here ensured to picture both humans and nature together in their paintings depicting the art of co-existence.
One of the biggest eminences of the American artists was the preciseness with which they carve the detailing in the paintings making them remarkably real.
Some of the eminent landscape artists of this era were Thomas Cole, Andrew Wyeth and William Hart. Soon, landscape paintings become an elemental part of the American art culture.
Landscape art in present time
Today, Landscape paintings are one of the most preferred art forms for artists of every age, culture, religion, and nation.
Now, artists use oil, watercolour, and acrylic painters to design some exquisite landscape paintings.
With the inclusion of abstractionism in landscape form of art, the representational themes are no longer practiced.
You can say that this era has limitless opportunities for the artists who want to learn and contribute to the landscape form of art.

The Landscape paintings are perhaps one of the most marvellous forms of art. This art form has survived a long journey from around 500 years.
The evolved form is much enhanced and open to new ideas.

Tax-Free Philly
PHILADELPHIA, PA …January 24, 2012…With the U.S. still a great value for international travelers, the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau (PCVB) has created a new website to showcase the value of tax-free shopping on shoes and clothing in the Philadelphia region. The entire site, www.taxfreephilly.com, officially launched today and features travel deals and shopping details translated and specifically for Philadelphia's top visiting international travelers – U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil and the Netherlands.
"Everyone is looking for a bargain these days," said Jack Ferguson, president and CEO, PCVB. "Our taxfreephilly.com website is a great added feature to promote Philadelphia as a premier shopping destination to international travelers by showing visitors how much they can save. Plus, it's easy for them to compare different tour operator packages all in one place and then book their trip."
All versions of the consumer website contain news and facts about shopping in the Philadelphia region as well as up-to-date travel packages. These packages, which consumers can click and purchase directly from the site, list hotel and airline deals from each country's major tour operators. In addition to the continuously updated packages, every month on www.taxfreephilly.com, new "hot deals" are listed showing everything from cost comparisons on name brand items, which are often significantly lower in Philadelphia, to enter-to-win shopping vouchers. Visitors to the site can also use the interactive map to plot out where they will shop from the list of 200+ boutiques, specialty-items, brand name and department stores listed on the site.
As an extra bonus, the site is supported by three Shopping Ambassadors who are currently living in Philadelphia, but are originally from outside of the United States. Elena- from the U.K., Audrey- from France, and Jessica- from Brazil, are getting the scoop on the shopping deals and retail-happenings throughout the Philadelphia region and blogging, tweeting, posting on Facebook, and creating and posting videos on their own unique YouTube channels. All information posted is in their native language.
"The Shopping Ambassadors are the authentic voice that we know consumers want advice from," said Kathleen Titus, executive director of tourism, PCVB. "Users are going to love shopping through all of the tour operator packages available on our site. No more visiting every tour operator's page to find the best deal for them – just shop, click and purchase. Then they can follow their shopping ambassador's posts to know where the deals and activities will be before they arrive in Philadelphia!"
The website also links to the PCVB's international language-specific pages at www.PhiladelphiaUSA.travel, which features information about dining, attractions, accommodations, nightlife, and more. The PCVB's international websites (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Brazil) have more original translated content than any other destination in the U.S.
To drive people to www.taxfreephilly.com, the PCVB is advertising in targeted international consumer and trade publications and is promoting the site through its tour operator clients, magazine promotions, and public relations. Since 2001, the PCVB has successfully marketed and sold Philadelphia to potential international travelers resulting in moving our City to the 13th-most visited American city in 2010, up from 21st in 2000.
The first contest on the site is from Philadelphia Premium Outlets. Anyone outside of the U.S. can enter-to-win a $500 Shopping Spree for use in any of the 170 stores located within the outlet. The winner will be selected at random the first week of February 2012. At that time a new major shopping contest will be announced.
The Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau
The Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau (PCVB), a private non-profit membership corporation, is the official Tourism Promotion Agency for the City of Philadelphia, and the primary sales and marketing agency for the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The PCVB competes with its counterparts worldwide for convention and tourism business. The organization has departments dedicated to the multicultural, sports, and life sciences markets.
Reporter's Note: All three shopping ambassadors are available for interviews, including broadcast.

Have you ever felt that you or your environment is spinning or moving, and that this dizziness is affecting your balance already? This can be vertigo. On its own, vertigo is not the condition. Rather, it is a symptom. The range of the severity can be from being barely noticeable to really severe that it becomes very difficult to do your daily tasks.
Vertigo attacks can happen all of a sudden and then last for just several seconds. If the kind of vertigo that you have is severe, then the vertigo attacks can last for a number of days. This can greatly affect your life. You may find it difficult to walk or even just stand. You feel sick, and of course, you're dizzy. What can you do to treat this? Read along so we can share with you some of the available treatments for vertigo.
BPPV or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which is particular head movements that can trigger vertigo attacks.
Other symptoms may emerge depending on the medical condition that is causing you to have vertigo. For example, you may also experience hearing loss, tinnitus or that ringing in the ears, as well as high temperature.
For most cases, vertigo can go away after a while and treatment won't be necessary. But for those who have frequent episodes of vertigo attacks, then treatment is needed for them to be able to function normally again.
For those who have BPPV, one treatment includes a series of easy head movements. There are also medications like prochlorperazine and antihistamines that can relieve vertigo in its early stages.
You may also consider VRT or vestibular rehabilitation training. This is an exercise program to treat balance problems and dizziness. This is a good option for those who have problems or allergies with certain medicines.
What is Vestibular Rehabilitation Training?
VRT is a kind of retraining for your brain. With it, you will undergo a special program where you will perform exercises. The exercises will help your brain in adapting to the signals that your inner ears are sending.
During a VRT session, you are encouraged to keep on moving even if you are experiencing vertigo. With this, the brain becomes accustomed to relying on the other signals that come from other parts of the body such as the legs and eyes, and not solely depend on the inner ear balance. When your brain becomes used to this, it will minimize the dizziness, and you will begin to notice that your balance will improve.
If you want to try out VRT, you can check with your local audiologist or physiotherapist. If you don't know any nearby, go to your doctor as he or she will most likely be able to refer you to a specialist who can provide VRT sessions. Another option you have is to get a self-help material for VRT. You can do it on your own, but you should talk to your doctor about it first.
When you suffer from vertigo attacks, you should always think about your safety. One of the things you should do is informing your employer, especially if you have to climb ladders or operate machinery. Also, keep your home a safe place since you may be prone to falls. It is best if you avoid driving if you are prone to vertigo attacks. You wouldn't want to risk having an episode as you are driving.
Now that you know some of the causes and treatments of vertigo, you can now address this issue more confidently. You don't have to panic every time that an episode happens. Remember to use your other senses to maintain your balance. Perform exercises that will help your brain to get used to the vertigo symptoms. Lastly, don't forget to talk to your doctor before taking any medication or performing any exercise. How about you, what's your best remedy for vertigo? Let us know in the comments!

Amendment to an existing UCI
Approval process of additional sub-fund(s) to an existing investment fund
Submission of the request and acknowledgement of receipt
A specific application questionnaire to provide the CSSF with any relevant information for the examination of the application for approval of new sub-fund(s) is available under "Forms". This must be accompanied by the "AML/CFT Market Entry Form" available on the CSSF's eDesk Portal.
Any application file is constituted of the duly completed application questionnaire and of the appended documents and must be submitted together:
via e-file (a secured and tailored tool to exchange information with the CSSF) or
via email to setup.uci@cssf.lu.
Applicants are advised to file an application only once all constituents of the project are fully fixed and stable. The transmission of a partial (incomplete) application may prevent the start of the approval process and cause unexpected delays.
Useful information is available under Guides intended to provide details in order to constitute a complete and compliant file and to provide further information on expected documents.
The CSSF will acknowledge receipt of the application file within 2 working days and provide the name of the officer responsible for the examination of the application file by means of:
an automated reply message from e-file (if this feature has been activated by the user, otherwise the information is viewable in the tool) or
an email to the address of the contact person provided in the application questionnaire.
The CSSF seeks to contact the applicant within 10 working days after receiving the application file for feedback (request for further information and/or supportive documents, supplementary confirmations, clarification of certain aspects of the request…).
Complementary information or documents must be submitted through the communication channel used in step 1. The exchange of comments may be subject to reiteration until satisfactory completion of the examination phase.
If the applicant faces difficulties to provide further information on specific considerations of the application and does not provide the information requested by the CSSF within a reasonable time limit not exceeding 2 months, the CSSF will contact the applicant to ask whether the application is to be continued or withdrawn.
End of examination
In case of a positive decision from the CSSF, and only if the examination of the request of amendments is carried out upon documents in draft versions, the CSSF will orally inform the applicant about the completion of the examination phase of the application and call for all documents in final version required to finalise the process.
Where subject to a change following the amendments, management regulations, articles of incorporation and agreements have to be submitted in signed form. The prospectus updated with the amendments has to be submitted according to the terms of Circular CSSF 19/708.
Approval of amendments
The attestation of the approval of amendments is issued only after receipt of all compulsory documents in final version and without alteration from the last versions examined in phase 2.
Where applicable, the CSSF issues an official accreditation letter sent electronically by email and/or sends back the visa stamped prospectus/offering document. This is made via e-file within 5 working days after reception (electronical visa).
Approval process for amendments to an existing investment fund
This approval process comprises the approval of any amendment to an existing investment fund (i.e. registered on the official list) or of any amendment to one or several of its sub-fund(s).
A non-exhaustive list of examples of amendments falling under this procedure:
change of management regulations/articles of incorporation;
change of the registered address;
corporate actions (e.g. merger, liquidation, spin-off, etc.);
change in governance of an investment company (board members, conducting persons, others);
deletion of (a) sub-fund(s);
change of denomination of a fund and/or sub-fund(s);
change of investment policy/investment restrictions of a fund and/or sub-fund(s);
change in the characteristics of the fund and/or sub-funds (consolidation currency, sub-fund currency, type of share classes, etc.);
change of rules in respect of subscriptions or redemptions;
change of the management company or of the alternative investment fund manager of a fund;
change of a service provider/an agent (domiciliation agent, depositary bank, central administration, asset manager, independent valuer, paying agent, distributors, external auditor, etc.).
The applicant must provide the CSSF with any relevant information for the examination of the request in the form of a detailed letter in free-format. Because of the variety of possible amendments and, hence, the variety of information that change accordingly, no questionnaire is currently available for the collection of the relevant information.
Any request file and appended documents must be submitted together:
via email to amendments.uci@cssf.lu.
The CSSF seeks to contact the applicant (request for further information and/or supportive documents, supplementary confirmations, clarification of some aspects of the request…) within 10 working days after receiving an application with average complexity and extent.
Approval process of the conversion of an investment fund already registered on the official list into a new investment fund of another type not yet registered on the official list
This approval process only comprises the conversion of an existing UCI or SIF into a UCITS not yet registered on the official list, as well as the conversion of an existing UCI into a SIF or a SICAR not yet registered on the official list.
The CSSF seeks to contact the applicant (request for further information and/or supportive documents, supplementary confirmations, clarification of some aspects of the request…) within 10 working days after receiving an application file with an average complexity. Receiving a more complex or extensive request may lead to contact by the CSSF officer in charge of reviewing the application in order to mutually agree on a specific time frame.
End of examination notice
In case of a positive decision from the CSSF, an end of examination notice is sent by email to the contact person specified in the application.
This end of examination notice specifies the information and documents in the final and signed-off version that still have to be transmitted in order to finalise the approval process of the investment fund, as well as, for each information or document, the transmission channel (via email, physical mail or via e-file).
The end of examination notice also advises the applicant that the application no longer allows changes in the scope or alterations in the last draft versions of the constitutive documents on the basis of which the examination has been completed. Any transgression of this understanding will imply a reopening of the examination phase causing delays in the process.
The CSSF stresses that any indication of the positive decision that is communicated by a means other than the end of examination notice does not engage the CSSF's responsibility in case of any action that would be triggered.
Entry on the official list of the approved investment fund
Upon satisfactory receipt of the prospectus/offering document and all compulsory information and documents requested in the end of examination notice, the CSSF will proceed to the registration of the investment fund on the official list.
In parallel, the CSSF issues an official accreditation letter sent electronically by email, as well as the CSSF identification codes.
The CSSF sends back the visa stamped prospectus/offering document. This is made via e-file within 5 working days after reception (electronical visa).

On behalf of our partner we are looking for Java Engineers from Cluj-Napoca with good technical skills. You will participate in the Scrum process with your team and collaborate with other teams all over the world in a Scrum of Scrums environment.
Our client is a professional software & services solution provider, developing products for the top players in the healthcare industry. They are part of a global team of developers, collaborating using cutting edge technologies and agile development to address the challenges of a competitive business world.


Meet Lucy Zhao - cofounder & CEO of Honeydew, a personal assistant that plans your wedding.
I started Honeydew because planning a wedding is a magical and exciting time in a couple's life, yet it is also confusing, stressful, and time consuming. Most of the time, gender role expectations mean the woman is stuck with a lot of planning (300 hours over the course of a year). After watching my best friend, a busy, career-focused woman struggle through this process last year, I found it unacceptable that this problem is still unsolved.
I know I'm not alone among other women who have felt marginalized into default planners throughout our lives--whether that's coordinating the team event at work or being volunteered to take notes. While we value bringing people together, we shouldn't be expected to bear the burden of creating those experiences. There should be an affordable, honest, fast alternative — someone to serve us for once.
That's why we created Honeydew. It's a decision making engine for the hallmark events in your life. Starting by making wedding planning painless, we want to spread this to other other special moments: your honeymoon, first anniversary, birthday parties, retirement toasts, etc.
There's definitely not enough female entrepreneurs solving problems we know well that affect our lives. I wanted to make my voice heard and apply my skill set to solving a problem for me and my peers.
-If you have 10 minutes--waiting in line for coffee, during your morning commute--do a task that takes 10 minutes. Checking off one thing from your to-do list, even a small thing, sets you on a productive path. I usually take advantage of small spaces in my day to answer emails or reply to Instagram DMs on our company page.
-Set a regular cadence for starting and ending work. When you're your own boss, and it's just you and your cofounder, it can be tempting to get sloppy and work when convenient. We've tried this at times and find it always lowers our productivity. Instead, we set reasonable working hours and make sure to spend 80% of that time working together in person.
-Use time blocking to ensure focus. Scope how much time a task should take you. If it's longer than 2 hours, you likely need to break that task down into sub-tasks. Then, commit to finishing that task in that amount of time. Having smaller deadlines, even for a task as large as "growth strategy" will help you stay on track and prevent attention drift.
If you were to get a tattoo, what would it be and why?
I studied and write poetry. To me, this stanza speaks to all the anticipation in future wondrous moments and the sweetness in the memory of the moments that have just passed. It's about being in the moment but also being aware of where you came from and all the miles to go.

Q: to evaluate using L'hopital's rule Can anyone please guide me how to  use L'Hop rule to evaluate this
$$
f(x)=\lim_{t\to 0} \frac{1}{2t} \int_{x-t}^{x+t} s f'(s) ds
$$

A: Think of the integral $$\int_{x-t}^{x+t}sf'(s)ds = \int_{x-t}^x sf'(s)ds + \int_x^{x+t} sf'(s)ds$$
and now use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to differentiate each of these with respect to $t$.
If you're not sure how to do the first one, remember that $\displaystyle\int_{x-t}^x sf'(s)ds=-\displaystyle\int_x^{x-t} sf'(s)ds$.

A: $$f(x)=\lim_{t\to 0} \frac{1}{2t} \int_{x-t}^{x+t} s f'(s) ds$$
Using L'Hospital rule:
$$
=\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{\frac{d}{dt}\left(\int_{x-t}^{x+t} s f'(s) ds\right)}{\frac{d}{dt}(2t)}$$
Using Extended-Leibniz Rule:$$
f(x)=\lim_{t\to 0}\frac{\int_{x-t}^{x+t}\frac{\partial( s f'(s))}{\partial t} ds+(x+t)f'(x+t)\frac{\partial(x+t)}{\partial t}-(x-t)f'(x-t)\frac{\partial(x-t)}{\partial t}}{2}\\f(x)=\lim_{t\to0}\frac{(x+t)f'(x+t)+(x-t)f'(x-t)}{2}\\f(x)=2f'(x)$$
Or:
$$\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}=\frac12\implies \ln f(x)=\frac{x}2+c\implies f(x)=ke^{x/2}$$

For the Extended-Leibniz rule:
$$\frac{d}{d\theta}\left(\int_{a(\theta)}^{b(\theta)}f(x,\theta)dx\right)=\int_{a(\theta)}^{b(\theta)}\frac{\partial f(x,\theta)}{\partial\theta}dx+f(b(\theta),\theta).\frac{\partial b(\theta)}{\partial\theta}-f(a(\theta),\theta).\frac{\partial a(\theta)}{\partial\theta}$$

Something else, the UX305 resembles the MacBook Air after it's landed a pinch tuck position to make it insignificantly slimmer and lighter. While the new ZenBook appears to be to a great degree subsidiary, that isn't as a matter of course a terrible thing. On the off chance that the MacBook Air set the benchmark for Ultrabooks, then the UX305 has surpassed it and enhanced the configuration.Besides, likewise get significantly more ports as well. This 13-inch tablet comes pressing three USB 3.0 ports – which isn't even accessible on premium portable workstations, similar to the MacBook Pro and Surface Book. There's likewise a SD card peruser and miniaturized scale HDMI to round out the choice of ports. The ZenBook is a perfectly thin machine, measuring only 0.48 inches (12.3cm) thick with a 12.8 x 8.9-inch (32.5 x 22.6cm) impression. The MacBook is in no way, shape or form fat, with its 11 x 7.73 x 0.52-inch (28.05 x 19.65 x 1.31cm) measurements, yet Asus packs in more ports and a superior console in its tight bundling. While the UX305 wins out in slimness, it's 2.6-pound (1.18kg) edge is heavier than the 2.03-pound (0.92kg) MacBook.The HP Specter x2 has distinctive measurements, being worked as a tablet first with an attractive console spread.

STORY: A major inferno at a paper mill in Agra, the city of Taj Mahal in India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh on Sunday (April 08) destroyed property worth millions.
The incident took place around 4:30 pm (local time).
The fire spread quickly across the entire complex where heaps of paper was stored.
Slamming the local administration, a resident from the neighbourhood, Manjeet Aggarwal termed the mishap as a blotch on the city famous around the world for the monument of love, the Taj Mahal.
"I was sitting with my family and suddenly, we saw the fire and we rushed to the site to see it and saw a massive fire at the factory. It shows the negligence of the administration. Although people call Taj Mahal in our city as the seventh wonder of the universe, looking at this fire reflects the laxity in our civic administration," said Manjeet Aggarwal.
No causalities have been reported so far.
Personnel of the Agra Fire Brigade with their water tenders made desperate efforts to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby places.
There was utter chaos as efforts were made to ensure those living nearby the paper mill were evacuated to safer places.
A short circuit is believed to be the reason behind the fire.
Fire safety regulations are lax, rarely implemented and not periodically reviewed in most industries across India, which results in the breaking of major fire, resulting in the loss of life and material.

Bill on substitute child support heading to Parliament, government also to help municipalities with roads damaged by loggers
The Government met again in the meeting room of the Office of the Government, 15 June 2020.
Single parents of children whose other parent is neglecting to pay child support will be able to apply for up to CZK 3 000 a month for a period of two years. The Andrej Babiš government approved a draft act on substitute child support on Monday 15 June 2020, having gathered in person at Straka Academy for the first time since the coronavirus epidemic broke out. It also approved financial aid for municipalities to repair local roads damaged as a result of the logging of bark-beetle-infested wood and appointed a new deputy minister for civil service.
After many years of discussion, single mothers and fathers not being paid child support by the other parent have finally been given hope that they will not be left out of pocket. According to the draft act on child support the Andrej Babiš government is passing along to Parliament, if all legal avenues have been utilised, they will be able to apply to the state for financial aid. One of the necessary preconditions will for example be that they have filed for execution against their former partner over owed child support.
"I think it's a success. We were still negotiating on it this morning. The first idea for a law like this was in 2005, so fifteen years later the government has finally approved it. It was complicated, even under the previous government we were trying to get it resolved. The fact is that 31 percent of all single mothers don't get any support at all and 13 percent of single mothers receive child support irregularly, and every year around 8 000 criminal complaints are filed over non-payment," noted PM Andrej Babiš.
Single parents will be entitled to payment of substitute child support at the same level as the court has laid down for the other parent. The maximum amount of substitute child support will be CZK 3 000. "I am very glad, because those mothers deserve it. As is very well known, since I entered politics I have been sending all my income to single mothers, so I hope that this act will be passed in Parliament as well and that we will help mothers, and fathers too, who are single parents," the prime minister added. You can find more information in the press release of the Ministry of Labour and Social affairs (in Czech language).
The government also approved the Ministry of Agriculture's proposal to contribute financially to municipalities for repairs to local roads that have been or are damaged as a result of excessive logging caused by the bark beetle catastrophe. For these purposes the Ministry for Regional Development will make use of its own aid programme Support for the Development of Regions 2019+, the sub-programme Support for Government-Recommended Projects in Regional Development in the Year 2020 and Following Years. The ministers approved the fact that for this year there will be CZK 140 million available for such subsidies and that municipalities will be able to collect from the state up to 60 percent of the eligible costs, with the regions contributing a further 20 percent. The first call for submissions will be intended for municipalities in the hardest hit regions – the Moravian-Silesian, Olomouc and Zlín regions, which are currently reporting the most seriously damaged local roads.
Today the government also appointed, effective 1 July 2020, the new Deputy Minister of the Interior for Civil Service. Based on the results of a selection procedure and decision of the prime minister, this will be Petr Hůrka, currently a deputy minister at the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. The appointment is for six years. "We hope that he will bring about streamlining of the civil service, because I think there is much room for improvement there," said PM Babiš.
Cabinet also approve the second phase of co-financing of social services in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic. While in May the government approved an extraordinary increase in funding for social services earmarked for special bonuses for such workers for their extraordinary work during the epidemic, this time the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs is freeing up money to cover the increased costs that social service providers have had during the epidemic. Social service providers will thus receive an extra nearly CZK 989.8 million. Further information is contained in the press release of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (in Czech language).
The ministers also discussed one of the key government strategies – Digital Czech Republic – and approved the implementation plans of this programme for 2021. The approved framework for investment in digitisation comprises nearly CZK 2.5 billion above and beyond the budgets of the individual bodies. "The priorities focus primarily on digitising state services so that citizens can take care of a maximum amount of matters without having to visit an office. So we are investing heavily in linking data between departments so as to have pre-filled-in forms as required by the act on the right to digital services approved at the start of the year. This law envisages digitisation of all services for citizens and companies within five years," said PM Babiš.
The need for accelerated digitisation was significantly felt during the coronavirus epidemic, when for several weeks contact between citizens and authorities was only permitted via remote access as part of preventive measures. The specific successfully developing projects include for example the Citizen Portal and the project BankID. "We have to promote digitisation, we have to talk about it, make citizens perhaps even more aware, so that they learn to make use of these services. We are committed to having digitisation take place as rapidly as possible," the prime minister promised.
The government also took up several pieces of draft legislation. It approved an amendment to the act on protection of classified information, which among other things considerably reduces the administrative burden for applicants, a proposal for a new act on the entry and import of certain cultural goods into the customs territory of the European Union and a draft amendment to the government order on vulnerable areas and the action programme. It also dealt with two private member bills, a proposed amendment to the act on special rules for admission to certain kinds of education and the completion thereof in the 2019/2020 school year and a draft amendment to the Education Act. On both of these, ministers adopted a dissenting opinion.
The government also took under advisement five extraordinary measures of the Minister of Health. Four of them have been in place since midnight of 15 June. The fifth one, concerning school attendance, will take effect 22 June. This will allow students to pick up their report cards for the past year at school, to part with the final year classes, and also to take a class photo. You can find a summary of the Health Minister's extraordinary measures at their website (in Czech language).
