I arrived to these shores via Viking long boat in a time long forgotten, bringing with me vinyl, cassettes and shiny discs – now used to scare birds from crops. Born to be a pessimist – my blood type was B negative, and raised as an only child – which really annoyed my sister. As a kid I was made to walk the plank – we couldn't afford a dog! I'm humble and proud of it – also I'm a pretty good ventriloquist, even though I say so myself. I'm living the dream – but I do sleep a lot.
I was having a No-life crisis and decided to join the circus as a trapeze artist, until I was let go. My only other option was Community Radio. As a presenter of 'Jukebox Saturday Night' I realised that to play up-lifting music was to play country & western backwards – your lover returns, your dog comes back and you cease to be an alcoholic.

Cameroon revive Italy 1990 spirit to create history
Cameroon has long been renowned for their achievements at the FIFA World Cup™, most famously their iconic win over Argentina at Italy 1990. But now the Indomitable Lionesses have created similar breakthough success with a dynamic 2-1 win over Switzerland catapulting them into historic qualification for the FIFA Women's World Cup™ knockout stage.
Cameroon are now just the second African team after Nigeria in 1999 to progress beyond the group stage, and their win over Switzerland is only the second by an African nation over a European opponent at the tournament. Cameroon's nine goals at Canada 2015 is comfortably the highest tally by a representative of the Mother Continent.
Few backed Cameroon to succeed at Canada 2015 on their debut but the Indomitable Lionesses played with all the swagger and confidence of Roger Milla and Co during that memorable Italian summer to advance. Cameroon came within inches of taking a point from world champions Japan in their last outing, and the result meant Switzerland only needed a draw on Tuesday in Edmonton. A goal down at half-time Cameroon played with rare verve to dominate the second half against the first European team to qualify for Canada 2015.
Gabrielle Onguene drew the teams level and when substitute Madeleine Ngono Mani then powered in a bullet header from close-range to finish a thrilling move there was only going to be one winner. Ngono Mani - who has served the national team with distinction for well over a decade – was in many ways the perfect candidate to be front and centre for the Indomitable Lionesses' special moment.
We actually represent all of Africa and we are proud to be representing it in the World Cup.
And the pacy forward was all smiles and laughs when she spoke to FIFA.com post-match still basking in the afterglow of the team's achievement. She was even more amused at the idea of her goal being the female equivalent of Francois Omam-Biyik's famous towering header to see off Diego Maradona's Argentina 25 years ago. "I can't compare myself to him," Ngono Mani said barely containing an infectious laugh. "I try my best to practise my heading but I can't compare to him. It is like we are taking after them , and taking an example from them," continues the 31-year-old.
The result, Ngono Mani believes, is a win for the whole African continent. "We actually represent all of Africa and we are proud to be representing it in the World Cup."
Ngono Mani says the Indomitable Lionesses have long attempted to emulate the success of Nigeria who for many years were Africa's perennial champions. Now, somewhat ironically, Cameroon have made a statement on the world stage on the very day that Nigeria were eliminated despite a valiant effort in a group featuring USA, Australia and Sweden.
"Nigeria were winning all the time in Africa," says Ngono Mani. "They were pushing us to say one day we also have to achieve like Nigeria. For me in particular it was the only thing in Africa that could reach that level so it was kind of inspirational to me. achievement is going to change a lot of things for Cameroonian women's football. Nobody expected that we would win, and we did our best and won the match. I could never have imagined this when I was young."

Google Chrome is the most used web browser in the world. To take full advantage of Chrome, there exist plenty of useful extensions that are sure to make your browsing experience more enjoyable. As some of you may know, Chrome extension can also be used on other Chromium based browsers, like Opera and Vivaldi.
Here are just ten Chrome extensions that are a mixture of both well and lesser known add ons that are amazingly useful in helping you to increase your security, save you money and improve your overall browsing experience.
Adblock Plus, one of the most popular Google Chrome extensions, lets you clean your web pages, by removing those clumsy advertisements from sidebars and everywhere else. The free plugin can block various kinds of ads, such as animated ads, pop-ups & pop-unders, Facebook ads etc. Also, there is an impressive level of protection from tracking and malware. It is to be noted that Adblock Plus does not put end to web advertisements; on the other hand, there's a set of acceptable ads that do not interrupt your web browsing. Plus, this open-source extension is customizable as well.
Click&Clean is a privacy-protection chrome plugin that lets you analyze your web browsing activities to find whether your data is vulnerable to surveillance and other sorts of compromises. There are some tasks that Click&Clean will help you; for instance, it can set an option to automatically clear browsing history data when you close Google Chrome window and to scan your PC for malware. So, Click&Clean will be more or less a complete online protection solution that can do well for active internet users out there.
I hope you're familiar with Pocket — the service that lets you save articles and web content for offline access! This extension lets you save a website or such content to your Pocket so that you can read it later, in your Smartphone or Tablet PC. Save to Pocket is truly usable in the sense that it can be integrated to the Chrome context menu, ability to add different tags and you can even create a keyboard shortcut to save web pages to Pocket, along with the toolbar button for instant access.
Turn Off the Lights is for those who watch videos online, frequently. In short, Turn Off the Lights brings atmosphere lightning when you are watching videos from YouTube and the experience is truly impressive, the truth be told. It is a matter of seconds that you can make interrupting parts of a web page fade and thus have the utmost concentration put on the video viewing experience. There are a number of features such as wide support of video players, shortcut keys for easier management, additional transition effects etc.
StayFocused, as its name says, lets you stay focused when you're working! Self-restriction is often the best way to be more productive and StayFocused lets you be so by restricting time you spend on addictive sites such as Facebook and others. This highly-configurable Chrome extension can be used to set limits on time you spend. You have option to set individual site-based limits too. For instance, if you have accessed a particular site for the maximum time, the site will not accessible thereafter — so you should be careful when you get addicted. It will prove very productive, it can be assured.
For those who find hard to understand words while browsing web, Google Dictionary is a must-have extension for Chrome. Google Dictionary as an extension is truly intuitive, because you can double click on a word to see meaning of the word in a pop-up. Not only English, there is support for various languages and you can depend upon Google Dictionary plugin when you're reading a jargon-filled or ornamentally-written article. There is also an option to hear the word pronounced, right away.
Google Calendar extension brings a simple Google Chrome toolbar button, using which you can create or add events as you browse the web. Suppose there are details of an event in a web page you visit and you want to create an event-based reminder about it. If you have Google Calendar extension installed in Chrome, you can do that in a second or two. There is also an option to view events that you have added to the calendar. In short, when you need an all-time companion for your Google Calendar experience, this extension is a must-have one, I guarantee.
What do you think about using your Smartphone to control your PC — just like you'd done using TeamViewer? If it's affirmative, you should install this productive Google Chrome extension to get things done. You have to install the Remote Desktop application in your Android Smartphone and the extension in Chrome. Once you have created the bond and fixed some installation stuff, you can start controlling your computer using Smartphone screen of yours. Its cross-platform availability is so impressive, given that Chrome needs to be installed in the device. Of course, when its resource consumption does not bother you, Chrome Remote Desktop is a sense-making productive extension.
As you all know, HTTPS is a sign of trust and security, especially when it comes to confidential data such as credential for payments and all. The plugin, in effect, switches thousands of sites to HTTPS from the non-secure HTTP. So, it can protect you from a lot of threats such as privacy hijacking, frauds and some kinds of surveillance that is present, almost everywhere. If you're concerned about security and privacy of your online browsing, HTTPS Everywhere is an extremely useful Chrome extension, I bet.

JACKIE CALLURA
Inducted in 1969
Date of Birth: January 1, 1915
Place of Birth: Hamilton, Ontario
Date of Passing: November 4, 1993
Sport: Boxing
Member Category: Athlete
National featherweight title
World featherweight title, twice
Jackie Callura started in life by defending himself as a scrappy kid in the rough Hamilton neighbourhood of his youth to defending his boxing titles around the world. One of Canada's smallest fighters at 5'6", he weighed in at only 126 pounds. At the age of 14, though, he started training for and fighting in Steeltown's "Friday Night Smokers" and from there moved to Winnipeg to prepare for more prestigious competition. Callura won the national featherweight title in 1931 and was a member of the 1932 Olympic team in Los Angeles. He turned pro in 1936 and was known for his rock-like stance and enduring strength - both of which were a surprise given his size. In 1943, he claimed the world featherweight title by beating Jackie Wilson in 15 rounds. He successfully defended the title twice before losing to American Phil Terranova seven months later. In all, Callura fought 100 professional bouts, winning 57 fights (13 by knockout), losing 33 (six by knockout), and having ten draws. He retired after his 1943 defeat, became a steelworker in Buffalo, and eventually settled back in Hamilton with his wife.

Core-Asset Consulting, the leading financial and professional services recruiter, today announced that it has been awarded ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 accreditation following an independent review from the British Assessment Bureau.
ISO 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides security controls and processes to safeguard customers' information, data and other intellectual property assets.
ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It is designed to protect businesses from potential disruption due to unforeseen incidents including extreme weather, fire, flood, natural disaster, theft, IT outage, staff illness or terrorist attacks.
Both accreditations also apply to the company's vetting and contract services division, Core-Asset Verify.
"We take the security and integrity of our clients' and candidates' data very seriously. As such, achieving these internationally-recognised accreditations is an important milestone for Core-Asset Consulting.
"With GDPR on the horizon, gaining ISO 27001 is also particularly timely. By demonstrating we are protecting clients' and candidates' data properly and following information security best practice, it provides us with an excellent framework towards achieving compliance with EU GDPR in May.
"ISO 27001 means we have the controls, documentation and monitoring in place to be fully compliant. Its ethos of continuous improvement also means we have a culture of data security within our business. After all, information security is not just about technology. It's also about processes and people.
"Similarly, the ISO 22301 is an internationally-acclaimed standard for business continuity. Clients and candidates can now be reassured that if an emergency incident – such as extreme weather, fire or power outage – denies us access to our offices, the services we deliver will not be interrupted.
Core-Asset Verify, a division of Core-Asset Consulting, provides employers with an integrated vetting and contract services for new hires. Its vetting procedures offer a robust, transparent and uniform process for ensuring prospective employees are fit and compliant to begin work.

An excerpt from 'The Miraculous True History of Nomi Ali', a novel by Uzma Aslam Khan.

As they walked, she wiped her brow with the back of her hand. He handed her a hanky. It had the same not unpleasant floral scent as his hair. He was a thick-set man who looked as though he could do those moves the soldiers here all seemed to know, the ones used on Zee and Mr Martin. The ones probably being used on the men and women up in jail.
She put her hand to her chest, inhaled.
"The tea I would like to make you," said the doctor, "has many health benefits." When she looked at him, he was smiling. His teeth, slightly bared, were dazzling. His English, perfect. "It helps with circulation and is good for the skin."
"You are welcome at my home, doctor," she said.
He tilted his head in the way he had done last week when taking his leave. She noticed that he had a slight cut on his jaw, where he must have shaved this morning. The jaw was square and the cheek smooth and slightly grey beneath his prominent cheekbones. Again she found that his face was not unkind. It was the sort of face that, if encountered elsewhere, she would gladly have tea with.
But he was a medical officer of an occupying army. How did he have time for her? The only answer had to be that he was still at work. Either that, or she was to be his comfort. She felt faint.
They had passed the third and final checkpoint to her farm when he said, "Others who are here were forced into exile. You have chosen yours. Why?"
She steadied herself, beginning to wonder if she was going about this in completely the wrong way. What if she were to talk openly to him about herself? About the unbearable alienation of her childhood in Chittagong, with a mother who considered herself Portuguese, and a father emasculated by the Portuguese and the British? About creeping up the hillside, from Das to Vaz to Best? About hating the top of that hill, that white and splendid mansion? She had never shared her story with anyone but her daughter. He would approve, would he not? At the very least, it might divert him.
She was still considering the option, when he asked, "What do you know of Japan's history?"
"Nothing, I'm ashamed to admit."
He tilted his head and she came to understand the gesture as one of acceptance. He accepted that he was not invited to her home last week. He accepted that today he was. And he accepted that she was ignorant.
He started to tell her that for a time, more than two hundred years, in fact, Japan had lived under the laws of Tokugawa Ieyasu, a shogun, or supreme military commander, who imposed sakoku. "It means, 'seal the country'. No foreigner could enter and no Japanese could leave. We became an island within an island, poor but peaceful."
Before they turned into a lane that would take them to her farm, he pointed out another lane, where his villa was. The area was thickly guarded and now she knew why.
He continued. "Sakoku was enforced in part to resist the colonial powers of Spain and Portugal. There are many Catholics in southern Japan," he added, and again she wondered what he knew of her past. "Our seclusion weakened us economically, but fortified us aesthetically. Theatre, painting, woodblock prints – I am very partial to these, ukiyo-e, they are called, pictures of the floating world – they thrived. Tell me, how do you spend your time in seclusion? Do you paint? Do you dance?"
She shook her head. "I have very little talent."
"I doubt that is true." He stepped aside, ushering her into her own driveway. "Here we are."
How did he know?
As they walked up the path that had not been driven on since Thomas's death, she asked, "How did Japan's seclusion end?"
"The way it always does," he said, eyes glittering, "with a foreign power."
They entered her house. This morning, before leaving for the clinic, she had tidied up, fearing she might not return alone.
The cushions were piled into one heap. The curtain separating the sitting room from the bed was drawn. The dishes were clean. Paula and Aye now spent Saturdays in his village, for her daughter was safer there, with his family. (Paula grumbled, but eventually agreed.) Shakuntala wondered if she should have asked Aye to stay this time, but decided he would be no match for Dr Mori.
When Shakuntala offered him tea, the doctor laughed, reminding her why he was here. He asked to be shown to the brazier, then took out from his bag a tea whisk and tea scoop of bamboo. He apologised, a little wistfully, for not having all the utensils. His preferred way of heating water, he said, was in a cast-iron kettle suspended over an open flame. "That is how you taste water."
His movements were as measured and unruffled as at the clinic. She hovered nearby, also as though still at work. "Good tea," he said, whisking the powder in a bowl that was also his, "comes from the first leaves of spring, such as these." He took out two cups. They were small and translucent blue, shot through with gold seams, with a smooth rise where her finger was naturally inclined to rest. She found them quite beautiful. He poured the tea and sat back, to watch her drink.
The colour was pale and the flavour too floral. When he asked what she thought and she smiled, he sensed her dissatisfaction and did not tilt his head. It struck her that the taste resembled the scent of his hair. This made her want it less. It also struck her that he was a man who had just served her tea. Surely in Japan, as in India, this rarely if ever occurred.
Once again he read her mind. "I have always enjoyed making my own tea. My mother disapproved of the habit, but grew to enjoy it, provided no one else knew."
Shakuntala's remaining cat, white, with a black-tipped tail, slinked out of the bedroom through the curtain. The tail brushed the doctor's trousers.
Shakuntala's fingers shifted on the teacup. The ceramic intrigued her, more than the tea. There was something about how it rested in her palm, something that brought her, unaccountably, peace. The next time she took a sip of the too-floral beverage, she let her lips brush the cup's gold seam. It was rough around the edges, and this too was a kind of relief.
The doctor was smiling. "What you are experiencing is mono no aware, when something outside oneself evokes a pathos. Not everyone is capable of being moved in this way. It requires a special sensitivity."
Shakuntala looked down at the cup. "It is broken."
"No. It is impermanent."
The doctor spoke of the art of repair, kintsugi, the mending of pottery with a lacquer of silver or gold. As a philosophy, he said, kintsugi honoured the full worth of an object, visibly featuring the repair, instead of concealing it. "The result is more precious than the original. Damage is illuminated as a necessary event in life, instead of a reason to reject life. It is a reminder that all life is transient."
"That," said Shakuntala, unable to withhold herself, "that is the most beautiful thing I have heard in too long." She put the cup to her chest and breathed.
The doctor tipped his head.
"Chittagong," he said, "the home you chose to leave, it is also home to the English tea trade."
"One of its homes, yes."
"When we win the war, do you see Indians drinking our tea, or will you stick to the English variety?"
"I see us doing both," she said. "My father always preferred green tea to black."

With her unfinished school and dreams Bina Ma'am, is struggling to fight patriarchy | rajaforchange
With patriarchy, women in the rural areas often are at a loss when it comes to necessities like education and empowerment. Bihar is such a state, where the literacy rate of its female population in the rural areas spans only up to 29.6% But an exception rises in the village of Lahladchak, which would push its female population in the purview of education. Bina ma'am understood the need for women's empowerment and started a school, K.B Vidya Niketan.

Career Prospects After Law ?
If you are considering law school, you are taking the initial step toward a potentially rewarding career in the legal profession. A legal education can be one of the most challenging and fulfilling endeavors an individual will pursue in their lifetime.There are many potential reasons one may choose to attend law school. Learning the skills of a lawyer and then using them in practice is the most common reason.
However, some may simply be interested in the complexities of the law and seek to learn more about it. Still others are motivated to enter law school to effect change through government, interest groups, or other non-profit organizations.Like any other profession, not all lawyers are rich and successful. However, the legal profession is generally rewarding both personally and financially. A person with a background in legal education can, in additional to practicing law, turn to other fields such as teaching, business, and advocacy.
H.P. College of Law, Kala Amb, was the first law institution in the private sector in the state of Himachal Pradesh established in 2003 with the objective to impart legal education. The College is committed to produce lawyers, well equipped to enter the legal profession, and also to render legal services towards the fulfillment of the Constitutional Directives of providing legal aid and assistance and ensuring opportunity for securing justice to members of the society.
The Institute is located in the most scenic and serene environment of Himachal Pradesh at Kala-Amb having a well-equipped Library, Furnished Moot Court Room, Lecture Halls etc. The students are exposed to Guest Lectures by different Jurists and Judges of High Court and Supreme Courts. Visit to Juvenile Homes, Central jails, High Court, Parliament, Supreme Court at New Delhi and other educational cruise trips are arranged to shape up the personality of students to become an excellentLawyer, Judgeand Legal Advisor.
It is one of the oldest college in the state of Himachal Pradesh, where 3 years law course and 5 year law course (B.A. LL.B) is in operation. The students of the Law College have excelled themselves in the university examination every year.The Institute is approved by BCI& affiliated to H.P. University, Shimla.

California prisons must end inhumane practice of solitary confinement
Opinion // Open Forum
By Sarah Shourd May 31, 2019 Updated: June 18, 2019 4:26 p.m.
Reyna Cacique used to drive eight hours to visit her dad at Pelican Bay State Prison. Their relationship was strong, but it had its ups and downs. In 2015, when she was 20, she hadn't seen him for two or three years.
Her father, Rafael Cacique, was in the Secure Housing Unit — being held in a windowless cell the size of a parking space or a handicapped restroom stall — and hadn't seen so much as a blade of grass for more than nine years.
In 2013, Rafael decided he'd had enough. He participated in the largest prisoner hunger strike in U.S. history. About 30,000 prisoners across the state went without food, some for 60 days, to protest California's excessive and inhuman use of solitary confinement.
Public outrage got the wheels in motion for Ashker vs. Governor of California, a class-action lawsuit that ended in a historic settlement in 2015. It resulted in more than 1,600 prisoners being transferred from solitary confinement back to general population prisons.
Most of them had been isolated for more than 10 years.
Cacique was one of the first to be released from the Secure Housing Unit. He was transferred to Corcoran State Prison, where he now has much more incentive to make the most of life on among the general prison population, on the mainline.
I recently spoke with Reyna. She's now 24 and has a 4-year-old-daughter, Lily. What used to be an eight-hour drive to Pelican Bay is now an hour and a half to Corcoran, so she and her daughter go up to visit him practically every month.
"It's been a blessing," Reyna said. "My dad has always taught me the value of family, and when I was pregnant I was like, 'How am I gonna bring my daughter to visit him at Pelican Bay?'"
"Now I know she'll never have to see him the way I did," Reyna said. Starting when she was 10, Reyna's only contact with her father was through a thick sheet of glass. "He and my daughter deserve to have a relationship."
I interviewed both father and daughter, along with a dozen other prisoners around the country, from 2013 to 2015. I visited Rafael at Pelican Bay three times. I wove their stories into a play, a fictionalized account of a hunger strike called "The Box."
Things have improved for Rafa and his family, but will it stay this way?
Before the Ashker settlement, prisoners could only get out of the Secure Housing Unit through snitching, parole or death. Now the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation can no longer give prisoners sentences in the SHU with no end. There is a step-down program, a process of rehabilitation, a path back to the mainline in two years or less.
Keep in mind that Juan Méndez, U.N. special rapporteur on torture, said that two weeks of isolation can cause permanent brain damage and therefore should be called "cruel and unusual punishment" or torture.
There is a now a nationwide effort led by 10 states to ban solitary confinement. Colorado now uses the U.N.'s standard of limiting isolation to two weeks, a huge precedent for other states.
The corrections department can no longer sentence prisoners to the Secure Housing Unit based on "gang validation," a designation based on evidence the court ruled unconstitutional, such as having received a birthday card — or artwork with Aztec or Mayan images — from a validated gang member.
For three years, California prisons have been under court observation to ensure these polices are implemented. Early this year, that observation was extended when the judge found "systemic constitutional violations."
Charles Carbone, a lead lawyer on Ashker, goes into California's prisons four times a week. Last month, he spoke with Alberto Talento, a former Mexican mafia member who did 15 years in the Secure Housing Unit based on unconstitutional evidence.
Talento "said he didn't have a future before this happened. I've heard this over and over from guys that got out of the SHU. Guys who've been in gangs since they were 13, 14 years old, now they have an incentive to be upright citizens, to earn respect from their families. They give up the gang life because they have hope the system might work for them … that they might actually have a chance at a better future.
"When you improve prison conditions, humanity expands," Carbone said. "This change in policy has weakened the dominance gangs had in our prisons."
There's also been a shift in how the public sees these men: not as damaged goods we can just throw away, but as human beings who may have made big mistakes and are capable of change.
Meanwhile, the marks of Rafa's extreme isolation haven't left his body or mind, but Reyna likes to see him get some of the respect and care he deserves.
"I see my dad as a deliberate and powerful person. When I leave those visits, I feel so grateful for what this (policy change) has done for our family, for our spirits. I see my dad growing back into himself," Reyna said.
California is never going back to the draconian policies that were in place three years ago — some of the worst in the country — but the new review period expires in January. If the corrections department cleans up its act, the judicial review period will be over. Without this oversight, it's easy for corruption to seep back in. The population of the Security Housing Unit rose in 2017, and the agency has projected it to rise further in 2018-19.
Unfortunately, the need for my play has not yet become obsolete.
Still, things have shifted.
Thousands of families who thought their loved ones were permanently entombed are now regenerating their relationships, and thousands more prisoners have changed their view of what they can expect from their lives. This kind of cultural shift is much harder to undo than a policy.
Remember this: Progress began with a group of prisoners who had nothing left to lose.
For now, the courts will be watching. In the future, that will be up to us.

So I thought we could share Good .357 and 38 special loads.
I am thinking of hand loads but if you have a favorite factory load that's cool to.
Try to enclude the use of the load & the gun that likes it.
PS always confirm with published factory data!!!
Just found a super accurate load for GP 100 match champion 4"
Tried that and didn't get it to shoot as well and 15.7 gr has plenty of power.
Same load for 148 wadcutter or hollow base wadcutter.
snubby revolver to 6 inch revolver and Leaver carbines.
and much more economical as I have loaded many thousands of the loads on progressive loaders .
by hundreds of shooters on range and as carry and hunting ammo.
I've been collecting the equipment to reload, thanks for the recipes.. now i just need to figure out how to do it.
I started with a LEE LOADER that used a hammer and tools. A small,single stage press is a good start like RCBS is my choice.
with 2 Dillon 1000's for .223 and 44 special.I used home cement mixers (THREE) for brass cleaning with air blast type polish media and a bit of mineral spirits for better bite and less dust.
Based on a REAL pro's examples ^^^^ I made a good choice to go with the Dillon 550B then? I bought it years ago and am just about ready to finally use it, as my reloading room is nearly finished. Will be finished by mid summer.
I mainly bought the Dillon because I wanted something to efficiently load everything from pistol, to .223, to hunting loads. But my brother has a single stage press (the RCBS Rock Chucker) and says I should have got something like that to more accurately load the hunting rounds.
CPT Morgan You made a good choice as the 55B is manually advanced and your biggest problem can come from DOUBLE CHARGING the case ,so ALWAYS ADVANCE THE SHELLHOLDER or remove and dump the charged shell before you get into trouble..
Soft shooting .38 special load.
Load to COL for bullet shape.
Great load for me shooters or practice with a Snubbie very low recoil.
Pistol reloading, esp. revolver cartridges are some of the easiest.
Maybe we should have a local meet up and do a hands-on clinic some time. I can also demo bullet casting basics if there's interest.
Is it the charge and/or the bullet?
I also have a 6" GP100. I had good success with 158gr jacketed soft tips with a similar charge.
For accuracy, I love HBWC. I load them for my Bill Davis S&W model 10 and my 66-1. If I recall, it's 2.7gr of Bullseye. Great accuracy load and really cheap. The only real drawback is they are hard to speedload/speedstrip for combat practice.
Does anyone know of a hollow based wad cutter or semi wad cutter in copper plated that would be great.
you are more effected by your cell phone radiation.
So if your looking for a way to load those legendary .38 target loads or a good small game load without all the lead there you go.
Carl, that it is awesome set up. I can't imagine how much it costs to process that much ammo! One of your batches probably is several years of my shooting and reloading. Very cool! I loaded for 20 years on a single stage and then upgraded to a turret and that was pretty spiffy for me. A single Dillon 1050 would be amazing, let alone your electric drive machines.
NWPILGRIM while the equipment was impressive ,my hobby was spoiled when it became a job as I had to produce 25 thousand rounds of ammo per day to pay for materials and payroll. Though I could often do 150 thousand rounds a week ...I was the labor in all positions,except final inspection and packaging to insure consistency. And all I have to show for it now is just A lot (edited for security) of loaded ammo ,stored in my BOL.
5.2 Grains is a great,consistent and potentially accurate load , I use for daily carry and ,in my leaver guns as small to medium game loads...I have loaded many hundreds of thousands of this load for local LEO and as range loads while I worked for many years at our local range.
Why do you ask,maybe I can offer assistance?
I have a bottle of HP-38 and it says for 38 to use 3.7 grs. I am right now being overly cautious as I get the process down smooth. I'll ask you questions on reloading 30-30 later once i get the time to do some more.
ahhh. i know now what i was thinking. I thought that was for .38 not .357. duh. need more coffee. good thing i am not reloading today.
3.7 is a good ,low velocity load and still adequate for self defence and medium game in a carbine...I used 3.2 grains with a 158 SWC cast for security guard training rounds and it was low recoil but effective enough for self defence ,if the need arose...the ladies class liked it also as it was not so loud and intimidating. My 5.2 gr load is what I settled on as great in all my firearms ,though a biy of a 'bark' when used in snub revolvers...well within pressures though.

Middle Eastern Encryption Study finds large proportion of regional organisations still open to mega breaches and cyber-attacks
A new report reveals that despite the threat of cyber-attacks and theft of highly sensitive information, many organisations in the Middle East are still leaving their data unencrypted.
Governments and large organisations in almost every sector in the region have sustained damage from cyber-attacks, with one attack in particular on two Middle Eastern banks resulting in a direct financial loss of $45m.
According to the latest 2016 Global Encryption Trends Study: Middle East, based on independent research by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Thales, global provider of critical information systems and cybersecurity, 45% of respondents either don't have an encryption plan or strategy, or have a limited encryption strategy for certain types of sensitive data, such as Social Security numbers or credit card accounts.
A large proportion of respondents (75%) embrace some type of encryption strategy, meaning the use of encryption continues to grow in response to privacy compliance regulations, consumer concerns and cyber-attacks. The majority of organisations plan to transfer sensitive data to the cloud within the next two years, or already do so, indicating an awareness to address the issue.
Peter Galvin, vice president strategy at Thales eSecurity, says:
"The proliferation of data that is occurring with increased connectivity, larger numbers of endpoint devices and greater use of the cloud, means we would expect most organisations to have an encryption strategy applied consistently across the entire enterprise, yet results show that just over half do. In terms of protecting data, encryption is widely accepted as best practice, yet many firms are still clearly vulnerable and in a position of weakness. Well-implemented encryption and reliable key management, as provided by Thales hardware security modules (HSMs), are fundamental to the securing of critical applications and it is becoming ever more vital in the protection of sensitive and crucial information."
News Facts
Discovering where sensitive data resides in the organisation is the biggest challenge to a successful encryption strategy (54% of respondents).
Human resource data the most likely data type to be encrypted, suggesting that encryption needs to be addressed by companies of all types.
Support for cloud and on-premise deployment, and system performance and latency are considered the two most important features of encryption.
IT operations (32% of respondents) and IT security (25%) have most influence in directing encryption strategies.
Dr Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of The Ponemon Institute, says:
"The findings of this year's study demonstrate the importance of both encryption and key management across a wide range of core enterprise applications – from networking, databases and application level encryption to PKI, payments, public and private cloud computing and more. We would certainly expect encryption coverage to increase as Middle Eastern organisations understand how important the process has become."

Nerve damage explained-Nerves are like the underground tube network in our body
Nerve damage explained - Nerves are like the underground tube network in our body
Visit our neurosciences hub
By Marco Sinisi, consultant neurosurgeon, at The Wellington Hospital's Peripheral Nerve Injury Unit
Nerves are cables to the muscles. They bring electricity to the muscles and enable them to move and bring feeling from our skin. Nerves are like the underground tube network in our body, everything is connected to nerves and impulses travel to the peripheral nerves and brain in order to function. If the tubes are cut, they will stop sending signals and we lose feeling or movement, just as disrupted signals cause delays on the tube.
Sometimes, particularly in partial nerve damage, pain can be present. This is different to any other kind of pain we experience and is very distinct. You might feel a burning or tingling sensation or feel electrical pulses in the damaged area.
There are two nervous systems the peripheral and central system. The central system includes the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral system includes all the nerves that connect the central system to the muscles and organs around the body.
There are different severities of peripheral nerve damage and general symptoms can include:
• gradual numbness or a tingling feeling
• sharp freezing or burnings pains.
• loss of movement
• extreme sensitivity of touch.
But there are three distinct degrees of peripheral nerve damage which require different treatments.
First degree nerve damage - conduction block
This is the mildest form of nerve damage. It is caused when a nerve is compressed or stretched but remains alive. Nerves need oxygen to function and if the blood supply to them is stopped they cannot work. This will result in paralysis and lack of feeling. It can happen for example when a nerve is squeezed between two bones and the oxygen is cut off. This degree of nerve damage will usually fully recover once the nerve becomes uncompressed and there is no requirement for surgical treatment to the nerve. It does recover in minutes/hours from when the compression is removed.
Second degree nerve damage - prolonged conduction block
Second degree nerve damage is where a conduction block takes place but the force applied to the nerve is much bigger than in first degree nerve damage.
The nerve is not broken but there is a change in the insulation. This type of injury could be seen as a result from a birth-related injury, such as brachial plexus, or in association with bone fractures, closed stretching injuries. It can take up to six months to repair but should make a full recovery providing the cause of the blockage is able to be removed. At times surgery is required.
Third degree nerve damage- axonotmesis and neurotmesis
Axonotmesis means that the fibres which constitute the nerve (axons) are damaged but the nerve outside is still present. This provides the necessary "tube" for the nerve fibres to grow back towards their targets at a rate of 1 mm/day. At times the compression which is stopping the nerve to grow back needs to be removed surgically. In this scenario full recovery is still possible.
Neurotmesis instead is the most severe type of damage and is when a nerve is completely lacerated or so badly ruptured that recovery cannot occur at all unless the nerve is repaired. Neurotmesis is most commonly caused by a serious injury with forceful impact and, in a lot of instances, a laceration that cuts through the nerve.
Whenever there is either an axonotmesis or a neurotmesis there is a Tinel sign. This means that tapping on the point of the broken nerve, the patient will feel "electricity" going towards the skin normally supplied by the affected nerve. With a bit of imagination it can feel like touching an exposed wire.
The difference between the Tinel sign in axonotmesis and neurotmesis is that in the first case, as the nerve grows back the Tinel sign will progressively migrate towards the periphery (hands, feet for example), whilst in the neurotmesis it will remain stationary where the damage occurred in the first place.
The faster it can be surgically treated the higher the chance of recovery. Surgery consists of nerve grafting, using a donor nerve to restore a "tube" for the nerve to grow or at times even nerve transfers, moving a working nerve and attaching it to a broken nerve to repair it. If surgery is successful, the nerve will grow back at a rate of 1mm a day. The functional recovery process, when possible, is slow and can take months or years.

DO make new friends as soon as possible.
This photo was taken a mere 4 hours after I landed in Sydney for my program orientation. When I first arrived to the hotel, I was scared, tired, and worried about having to make new friends.
I knew it was going to be weird interacting non-stop with this girl, but knowing I had a new friend almost instantly made me feel better about being in a new country.
To this day, Ashley Gagnon is one of the closest friends I have ever had and I am so happy to say that!
DO bring a little taste of home with you.
Going abroad is hard especially if you are very close with your family or you have a boyfriend. Both applied to me which made being away from them even harder.
One of the best ways I coped is seeing quick reminders of the people I love all around me in my room.
This picture was taken the very first day I moved into my room at Urbanest Brisbane and shows just a few of the pieces of home I brought with me abroad.
Of course I do not recommend flooding your room with only things from home, but it is nice to have something to look at when you are missing some people the most.
As a collegiate athlete, I would say I am very competitive; I do not usually play or compete in things I am not immediately good at.
However, while I was abroad, I got the opportunity to do amazing things that I have never done before. This picture was taken at The Gold Coast in Australia when a group of friends and I took a surfing trip with University of Queensland.
Let me just say that surfing is HARD! It took me at least 10 tries to finally stand up and ride a very small wave. This opportunity of going abroad let me shed my fears of not being the best at something and to just do the activity for fun, win or lose.
DO interact with the wildlife.
The best part about Australia is the amount of wildlife that they have. Having spent my entire life as a citizen of the United States, I was never very familiar with the kinds of animals that inhabited the largest island in the world.
Once you get to Australia, you will very much want to interact with as much wildlife as possible, and I encourage you to do it! This picture was taken at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary within the first weeks of my trip.
absolutely recommend to try and do as much touristy, zoo activities as possible -hold the koalas, feed the kangaroos, marvel at the parrots- because the more you do and the more you know, the more integrated you will feel into the country that you are now living in.
DO go to a sporting match!
Everyone who is anyone loves and talks about rugby in Australia, so as a new resident of Australia, it is important that you know what they are talking about! Integrate yourself into the host country's culture and really dive into activities that the natives are enjoying.
IFSA-Butler set up this event and sent the whole Brisbane group to the Brisbane Broncos game. Although I did not understand all the rules, it was so exciting to cheer and scream at one of coolest sporting events I have ever been to.
DON'T be afraid to treat yourself!
While abroad it may be hard to stop yourself from spending a lot of money. There are so many cool places to see and exciting foods to try that you cannot seem to help yourself.
Although I do not advocate for wild spending, I think it is important to recognize that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Set a budget up for yourself and leave room for a little self-indulgence.
My best friend, Ashley Gagnon, and I would eat at Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar in South Bank, Brisbane once a month for special occasions. The location became so special to us that I bought her a bracelet with the navigational coordinates engraved into it for her birthday.
Running out of money may seem scary and can be a real issue, but if you budget carefully you can do all sorts of things without any worry.
Along with the people that you meet and the places that you go, photos can serve as a great memory booster for when you return back home.
However, it is important to know the line between taking a few good photos and overwhelming the situation by only taking photos!
Make sure you are interacting with your experience and creating memories rather than taking a bunch of photos so you can remember those memories. The more fun you have, the better you will be able to remember your study abroad experience!
I took this selfie with a stingray off of the coast of the Heron Island Research Station. It is one of my favorite photos and it took at least five minutes of me following the stingray to finally capture it!
DO travel as much as you can!
Traveling is one of the best parts about going abroad. Although it does cost money, it is really one of the things that are absolutely worth it!
Planning ahead and making a trip really thought-out can make it better in the long run; spontaneous trips are fun but if you take the opportunity to plan out a trip, you can get more bang for your buck!
My new friends and I started planning a trip to Bali, Indonesia in early March even though we were not leaving until mid-June!
The long wait made the trip even more fun and spending five days in an exotic place was really worth the wait!
This picture was taken in the Monkey Forest in Bali, one of the best experiences I had while abroad!
DON'T be shy to cry when you say goodbye.
The friends that you make while abroad share a bond with you that some of your friends at home might never be able to understand.
The IFSA-Butler group became my best friends and I was not afraid to let them know. A few days before we all left, the group of us sat in a circle and said what we appreciated about the people next to us.
We all told each other how each new friendship changed our lives and made the trip the best it could have been.
Even though leaving was sad, sitting down and looking back at our experiences together, made the departure that much easier.
DO plan to visit your abroad friends at home!
Once back home from traveling abroad, it is always sad to know that you cannot wake up and run to your abroad friends' rooms just to have breakfast together.
Although that may seem like an awful reality, it can be a blessing in disguise. Now that you have gone abroad, you have made connections and friends all over the globe. Planning a trip to see your abroad friends can make even the hardest days back at your home country, brighter.
Here is a picture of my friend who I met while studying abroad in Brisbane, Leigh Mathieu. She traveled to my soccer game against Boston University 5 months after we returned home from studying abroad!
Make the most out of your opportunities and keep in touch with your new abroad friends; they shared a special experience with you and it is always nice to remember that.

Until February 2019, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art hosts an exhibition dedicated to the Elemental Studio of Alejandro Aravena.
Is the Vertical Forest / Bosco Verticale tower complex in Milan by Boeri Studio really the archetype of a new generation of sustainable high-rise buildings?
BIG developed an undulating building envelope which creates a rippled skin around 2 towers in China and breaks away from the traditional glass curtain wall.
With its playful and provoking approach, the exhibition of the Swiss pavilion investigates the intrinsic ambiguity of the representation of space.

Harmony Corruption ()— третий студийный альбом группы Napalm Death. Был выпущен 3 сентября 1990 года.

Об альбоме
Harmony Corruption сильно отличается от предшествующих двух, и гораздо больше дэт-метал, чем грайндкор, по звучанию близок к раннему творчеству Death или Deicide, записывался в той же студии, что и они, и обладает экстремально тяжёлыми риффами и низкими вокалами. Скорость альбома  заметно ниже.

После ухода вокалиста Ли Дорриана место его занял Марк «Барни» Гринуэй. Помимо смены вокалиста, этот альбом был последним для барабанщика Мик Харриса в составе Napalm Death.

В ранние версии издания альбома в диск был также включён EP Mentally Murdered, реализованный годом ранее (в конце), и таким образом число треков составляло 17. В настоящее время издания альбома не содержат ничего, кроме 11 стандартных композиций.
В одной композиции альбома — «Unfit Earth» принимал участие гостевой вокалист дэт-метал-группы Obituary Джон Тарди. На этой же композиции принимал участие ещё один гостевой вокалист Бентон, Глен, принадлежащей к дэт-метал-группе Deicide.

В Британских чартерах альбом занял 67 место (пиковый подъём). Также выпускалось лимитированное винил-издание с бонусом LP — live, записанное на I.C.A.

This narrates that Asclepios was son of the God Apolo and of the mortal Coronis. This genealogy already shows and characterizes the nature of the demigod, for Apollo is the divinity of the Solar Light, which contains sources of health and life widely appreciated by men. The name of Coronis, his mother, is that of the crow, long-lived bird that also symbolizes health. Asclepius became a very recognized God through the Greek and Roman world, perhaps because he started as a mortal, and knows the pain of human suffering so that his father Apollo can not.
As with all archaic civilizations of initiatic roots, Medicine in Greece was part of the Sacred Sciences. It was a Science that integrated Philosophy, Magic, Religion and Art. In all civilizations, knowledge was deeper in the most archaic times, and the specialization of Science by experimentation ways just demonstrates a loss of magic formulas or extraordinary powers.
Asclepios also known as Ophiuchus among the ancient Greeks learned the art of healing both Apollo and Centaur Chiron. The name and fame of Asclepios spread throughout the region; He healed with such perfection that he not only returned the lost health to the sick, but life to the dead. Because of this and with the argument that he violated the natural order of things, Zeus murdered him by order of Hades, the God of the Infernal Kingdoms. Although as a tribute he placed it in the sky surrounded by a serpent, symbolizing the renewed life.
In Epidauros, famous sanctuary, as well as in many other sanctuaries of the antiquity the most wonderful sanaciones were made, but the divine method par excellence was the one of the dream in the temple, the Encoimesis or Incubatio, where the patients, sometimes seated or lying on skins, they waited during the night for the appearance of Asclepios and the cure of their ailments. The advice and prescriptions of Asclepios, transmitted during the incubation, responded to a plan of reasonable hygiene of life and used to consist of a diet, exercises, varied psychic resources, baths, massages and application of ointments.
In Epidaurus, famous sanctuary, as well as in many other shrines of antiquity marvelous healings were performed. But the divine method by excellence was through dream, known as the Encoimesis or Incubatio, where the sick, sometimes sitting or lying on skins on the temple, expected during the night the appearance of Asclepius to heal all of their ailments. The advice and prescriptions of Asclepius, transmitted during incubation, responded to a reasonable wellness plan, and often include diet, exercise, varied psychic resources, baths, massage and application of ointments. Today throughout the Hellenic Archipelago we can find 410 preserved ruins of these ancient healing centers, which were called "Asklepeions."

Fisheries technology development
The OECD FISH Unit, in collaboration with the Environment Directorate and the Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation, has developed patent-based innovation indicators that are suitable for tracking developments in fisheries-related technologies.
The search strategy for fisheries and aquaculture related technologies adopts a mixed solution with a definition of the technical field of interest in fisheries and aquaculture innovation complemented by keywords, e.g. by looking for keywords in the International Patent Classification (IPC) codes and checking manually the relevance of the results in the text of patents (in the title, the abstract, etc).
The indicators allow the assessment of countries' and firms' innovative performance as well as the design of governments' fisheries, aquaculture and innovation policies.
For more information on patent data and other work on patent statistics at the OECD, see:
Measuring environmental innovation using patent data
The use of patent statistics for international comparisons and analysis of narrow technological fields
Measuring Patent Quality - Indicators of Technological and Economic Value
Contact person/organisation
OECD statistics contact: TAD.contact@oecd.org
Data source(s) used
The patent statistics presented here are constructed using data extracted from the Worldwide Patent Statistical Database (PATSTAT) of the European Patent Office (EPO) using algorithms developed by the OECD. Statistics have been compiled according to the methodology presented on the OECD Patent Statistics Manual.
Data here have been extracted in January 2019.
OECD Patent Statistics Manual
Data Characteristics
Variables collected
The dataset Fisheries technology development provides the number of inventions (simple patent families) developed by country's inventors, independent of the jurisdictions where patent protection is sought (i.e. all known patent families worldwide are considered).
The indicator is disaggregated by:
• Inventor country - country of residence of the inventor(s), fractional counted; e.g. for a patent listing inventors from two different countries, each country will obtain a count of 0.5, to avoid double-counting of inventions;
• Family size – the number of countries where the patent application has been filed, including the first patent application and all the subsequent patents applications filed in order to extend the geographical coverage of protection. Family size "1 and greater" means that the invention is protected in at least one country and as such this category includes all patents, many of them protecting low-value inventions, for which data are available worldwide. Indeed, it is interesting to notice that the protected size of a patent family has been found to be correlated with the value of the invention. Studies in this field exploit the fact that it is expensive to holders to maintain patent protection in additional countries. Hence it is hypothesised that the value of expanding it the coverage geographically is associated with the economic importance of the invention. Family size "2 and greater" will count inventions that have sought patent protection in at least two countries, and so on.
• Technology domain – the three main areas of innovation in fisheries and aquaculture, related to technology development. In detail:
1. Harvesting technology such as more effective ways to find or harvest fish and which are typically associated with improvements in catch per unit of effort (e.g. type/size of vessels and their methods of propulsion, search technologies, method of catching or harvesting fish and bringing them on board);
2. Aquaculture technology such as methods to more effectively grow fish in captivity (innovation in feeds, improving the health of aquaculture animals, etc.);
3. New products and markets such as the development of new fish products and markets (food technologies/processing such as the development of surimi as a crabmeat substitute) and the improvement of market access (secure or enlarge markets for fish products) that provides important incentives for green growth (e.g. eco-certification with fishers adopting by-catch saving technologies or modifying fishing practices and/or territorial user rights in fisheries).
Note that the total count for aggregate technological domains is provided separately to avoid double-counting of inventions. For example, the count of "selected fisheries-related technologies" is less or equal to the sum of its sub-components (Harvesting technology, Aquaculture technology and New products and markets). This is because patents are commonly classified in more than one technology class. Therefore each patent (invention) is counted only once when aggregating across technological domains.
Concepts & Classifications
Key statistical concept
Consistent with other patent statistics provided in OECD.Stat, only published applications for patents of invention are considered (i.e. excluding utility models, petty patents, etc.).
The relevant patent documents are identified using search strategies for fisheries-related technologies based on the methodology developed by the Environment Directorate. They allow identifying technologies relevant to the following three domains: Harvesting or fishing technologies, Aquaculture technologies and New products and markets.
The development and global diffusion of fisheries-related technologies is key for cost-efficient achievement of sustainable policy objectives. Consequently the statistics presented here are based on the concept of a patent family which is defined as all patent applications filed in different countries and protecting the same invention (or priority as defined by the Paris Convention). They are also referred to as simple patent family (For further details, see Martinez 2010, Insight into different types of patent families).
At its most basic, the family comprises a priority patent application, which is the first application filed to protect the invention, generally in the inventor's country, and all subsequent patent applications that relate to it. Subsequent patent applications are filed in other countries one year after the priority patent application in order to extend the geographical coverage of protection.
If in the subsequent patent applications, the priority filing date is kept, we refer to them as equivalent patents; if instead in each subsequent patent application the application date is preferred, then we talk about simple patent families.
A patent can be attributed to the applicant (the patentee at the date of application) or the inventor or the country where it has been filed first (priority application).
Regarding the attribution of dates, a patent has several of them: the priority filing date (i.e. first patent application worldwide, normally done in the inventor's country), the date of application in a given country (i.e. subsequent patent applications, to extend the coverage of protection), the date of publication, or the date of grant. Depending on the selection made, the resulting indicators will give substantially different results. The statistics presented here are based on the priority filing date, which is the first filing date worldwide (under the Paris Convention) and it is considered to be the closest to the actual date of invention.

If a chair wobbles badly, one of the two logs on which it wobbles needs shortening.
To find out which should be dealt with, cut four blocks out of the same piece of board, and stand the chair on them. Remove the block from under one of the longer legs, and put a weight near the other to keep it down on its block. Note how level the chair now is. Repeat the process with the other leg. Having decided on which three legs the chair is most level, scribe a mark round the fourth, using the block as gauge, and cut off to the mark. Wobbly tables are treated in the same way.

The human genome mapping project paved the way to a lab of possibilities. Knowing the genetic code has helped scientist unlock many mysteries about diseases and treatments. One mystery that has always been baffling is when a drug will work for one person but not for another. Sound familiar? Some of you may have been through a cycle of medication trials searching for the one drug that works for you. Instead of feeling like a patient, you might have felt like a lab rat. All those trials and errors left you scratching your ear while wondering whether or not your doctor really knew what he or she was doing. The fact of the matter is that doctors really didn't know how to predict drug effectiveness or toxicity because everyone is different. But that was then and this is now. Now, doctors do have a test available that helps assess drug responsiveness. Your genes can be a map that serves as a guide for doctors.
_What is Pharmacogenetic Testing (PGT)? _ A simple saliva test is now available that can evaluate your ability to metabolize or process drugs. These drugs like hydrocodone, oxycodone, diazepam, methadone and paroxetine utilize the P450 or UGT systems for metabolism. As a drug gets metabolized, it is broken down into harmless pieces and eventually cleared from your body. The activity of your clearance system is based on your genetic code. Once tested, this knowledge about your drug metabolizing system can guide doctors for the rest of your life.
_What is the purpose of PGT? _ Doctors would like to be able to anticipate how you are going to respond to a drug instead of relying on a trial and error process. By knowing the specific way you break-down drugs, a doctor can tailor your treatment according to your metabolism and immediately find the right drug for you. Not only will this information help doctors predict which drug will best treat your pain, a doctor will also be able to predict your effective dose and potential for toxicity. This knowledge has the potential to save time, money and lives.
_What if someone is an ultra-rapid metabolizer? _ You know who you are. How many times do you need to tell the doctor that the medicine doesn't work or you need double the dose for it to relieve your pain? Now you don't have to argue until you're demonized, you can be tested with PGT to determine once and for all if you really are an ultra-rapid metabolizer.
_What if someone is a poor metabolizer? _ You know who you are. As soon as you take certain medicines you get deathly ill even at very low doses. Instead of going through one medication trial after another only to get sick every time, now your doctor can determine once and for all if you really are a poor metabolizer.
_Are there exceptions? _ Yes, some poor metabolizers will find out that drugs like codeine or tramadol don't work. And some ultra-rapid metabolizers will find out that drugs like codeine and tramadol make them sick. These drugs are special exceptions because they are "ProDrugs" that have actively potent by-products (metabolites) from being broken-down instead of being broken down into benign waste products immediately. The point is that genetic testing can make this all very clear to your doctor.
If you have an unexpected urine drug test results like no parent drug present or unusual levels of a metabolite.
Pharmacogenetic testing is now available in your doctor's tool box. Drug responses don't have to be a mystery any longer now that treatments can be tailored to custom fit you and your genetic code.
