I am sure you are all well aware that it is Valentine's Day tomorrow. Whether you are loved up or single, there are some recipes here for you to enjoy.
There seems to be a split when it comes to people's opinion of Valentine's Day. Some go all out with the red roses and the candlelit dinner and some completely shun it and think it is a money making scheme. Some, including myself, fall somewhere in the middle.
Of course you don't need one day a year to show someone how much you love them. But at the same time, why not use the day as an excuse to show them even more. For my husband and I, we see Valentine's Day as just an excuse to be even more romantic. Sometimes we go out, and sometimes we have a nice meal at home, but what we always do is use it as a reminder of how lucky we are.
Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about couples. It is about love! Spend it with a friend or a family member. It also doesn't have to be about anyone expect you. Loving yourself is one of the most important things, so perhaps use tomorrow to be a day all about you. Pamper yourself.
Chocolate and Valentine's Day kind of go hand in hand. Well, if the advertising has anything to say about it. That doesn't mean you have to stuff yourself with boxes of chocolates. Make your loved one, or even yourself, a healthy chocolate dessert this year. Here are some to get you started:
Healthy Chocolate Dessert
Brownie Bites
Chocolate and Almond Butter Oat Cookies
Chocolate Banana Pops

Sea salt and dark chocolate avocado mousse serves 4; vegan
this vegan desert is a lighter alternative to conventional chocolate mousse. The base is made simply from frozen banana and avocado. The sea salt compliments the dark chocolate, giving it a bitter and rich edge.
- 1 hass avocado, chilled
- 1 frozen very ripe banana
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 squares of good quality dark chocolate, grated
- Freeze the banana in slices. Scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a food processor, followed by frozen banana, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend into a smooth paste. If too thick, add ice cubes, and pulse.
- Taste, and add more maple syrup if needed. Stir in the sea salt and pop the mousse into ramekins. Sprinkle with grated chocolate, and leave to chill and set in the fridge before serving.

While The Times's scoop on the Justice Department's approval in 2005 of "explicit authorization to barrage terror suspects with a combination of painful physical and psychological tactics" is the big story of the day, others are looking to the department's future rather than its past:
"Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) signaled yesterday that he will move ahead with confirmation hearings for a new attorney general later this month without reaching a deal on documents that he hoped to obtain from the White House," reports the Washington Post. "But Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also said that nominee Michael B. Mukasey will be confronted with a range of questions related to ongoing conflicts between Democrats and the Bush administration, including whether Mukasey would allow prosecution of White House aides for ignoring congressional subpoenas.''
Commentator Kobi at MyDD pithily sums up the progressive conventional wisdom: "After stating that he would hold up the Mukasey nomination for AG until Bush fully cooperated with the US attorneys investigation, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Patrick Leahy will cave, in typical DCDem fashion …Leahy was one of the few remaining DCDems I had yet to write off."
Natually, Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters revels in Leahy's change of heart:
The resignation of Alberto Gonzales has taken the wind out of Leahy's sails. The Democratic caucus has lost enthusiasm for the pseudoscandal now that they have a Bush crony's scalp on the wall. The nomination of Mukasey has also dulled their appetite, especially since he comes pre-endorsed by Chuck Schumer. That leaves Leahy with little leverage to use against the White House. The memos he demanded have always been understood to be protected by executive privilege. The same is true for the subpoenas against the political advisors to the President. The Bush administration won't budge on either, mostly to protect the privilege for succeeding administrations. Leahy finally figured out that Bush doesn't get intimidated by Congressional committees, regardless of which party runs them.
In his letter to Judge Mukasey, Senator Leahy asks: "What would you do as Attorney General if you learned that a Member of Congress had called a U.S. Attorney asking for information about an on-going criminal investigation?"
The gang at White Collar Crime Prof Blog thinks that question "might be better addressed to Representatives and Senators rather than putting the onus on the Department of Justice to resist such inquiries. Whether Judge Mukasey will give anything close to an acceptable response remains to be seen, but it's unlikely he will address hypotheticals beyond asserting that he will 'call them like I see them' and act in the best interests of the citizenry."
If so, the interesting thing will be whether the committee Democrats consider such a response sufficient – after all, Alberto Gonzales also probably called them like he saw them, too.

We are the Hagn family. We have all always done our parts, for more than 300 years. This has been a proven recipe for success, as we can rejoice over numerous awards from the most diverse competitions. Since 2007, we've had more than 15 wines honored in "SALON Österreich Wein", including one SALON top prize winner. We've received over 11 statewide champion titles and the "Winery of the Year" selection from the "Niederösterreich Wein Prämierung", and in 2016 became the first and only Austrian company to be so named four consecutive times.
Leo Hagn Jr. and Wolfgang Hagn Jr. have been responsible for the winery since 2006. With due regard for the environment and subsequent generations, the two are building on the work of our family and are developing the company in a forward-looking way. We usually find Leo somewhere among the vines or wine barrels, and Wolfgang at events or contriving new marketing strategies. His wife Carina oversees the Weindomizil Hagn, with its restaurant and guest rooms, which we opened for you in 2009.
Wolfgang's father Wolfgang Sr., as our "top boss" keeps track of everything, looks after logistics, sales, finances and all construction, and is "the great checker", who simply has everything under control.
His wife Roswitha will meet you at the office, and she will be glad to taste our wines with you if you drop by.
Leo Sr. handed over the office of cellar master to his son-in-law Leo in 2006. He always keeps a keen eye on all the happenings in the winery and is well-known to and warmly greeted by our regional customers thanks to his daily personal deliveries.
His wife Maria supports regional wine shops and also supports us in our general office tasks.
Our longstanding colleagues Birgit and Doris, the fairy godmothers of the office, have also long been family members to us.
And Emma & Rico, as our joyous canine welcoming committee, can of course not go unmentioned.

Whether it's because we have over eighteen months to go until the presidential election and about nine until the first real votes are cast, or if it's a field which draws little but yawns, there's just not a lot of buzz going in about the Republican presidential field. I had a poll up for a week and drew a small response – less than 5% of my readership had an opinion.
I set it up for two questions: preference for those already in the field and a wish list of those one would like to see enter. If the primary were held today, the top votegetters among my readership would be:
- Ron Paul (35.48%)
- Tim Pawlenty (25.81%)
- Herman Cain (16.13%)
- Rick Santorum (12.9%)
- Newt Gingrich (6.45%)
- Mitt Romney (3.23%)
In the category of zero support were Fred Karger, Roy Moore, and Buddy Roemer. That's no surprise.
I was a bit surprised with the results of poll number 2, which asked who respondents would prefer to see jump into the field.
- Michele Bachmann (25.0%)
- Donald Trump (13.89%)
- Gary Johnson (11.11%)
- Rudy Giuliani (8.33%)
- Haley Barbour, John Bolton, Mitch Daniels, George Pataki, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan (5.56% apiece)
- Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin (2.78% apiece)
Paul Ryan was a write-in, as was Herman Cain. Somebody didn't pay attention to my first poll.
And no one wants Jon Huntsman in the race. You would think since I allowed multiple answers on the wish list poll that someone would back him, but I guess not.
The biggest shock to me was just how quickly Sarah Palin has fallen out of favor. Had I asked the question a few months back I'm betting that she would be the top vote-getter, or at least right up there with perennial libertarian darling Ron Paul.
But it seems to me that her outspoken populist angle is being usurped by – of all people – Donald Trump. It's surprising that a guy who has donated thousands to Democrats is being considered as a conservative darling, but he has name recognition to spare and isn't partaking in the political doublespeak many other candidates engage in.
Honestly, I think she may have missed the boat on 2012. Whether Sarah would prefer to bide her time and wait for 2016 (which assumes an Obama victory and an open seat) or simply decided a position as a political outsider and spokesperson for conservative causes – one who can still draw a crowd – better suits her situation, well, that I don't know. And there may be a cagey reason for her to let Trump take all the slings and arrows for awhile, since he seems to relish the spotlight regardless of how harsh it may be.
In a way, it's great to have so many choices and not have someone considered a frontrunner at the moment. This is a time where we need a contest for the Republican nomination because it serves as a placeholder for a contest for the soul of the party itself. While the TEA Party can help elect a candidate, there's still a faction of establishment Republicans who need to be eradicated from the levers of power before a takeover is possible. That faction is the one calculating just who would be the 'safe' choice acceptable to the American people yet malleable enough to control once in office.
Assuming President Obama is a one-term president, the new Republican president becomes the de facto leader of the party. It will take a strong conservative to fight not just Democrats but the establishment Republicans fighting the rear-guard action to bring the party to the center – in other words, the "No Labels" types. (Someone like Senator Jim DeMint comes to mind, but I doubt he's running.)
I know my readership has a political compass pointing somewhere between conservative and libertarian, as it likely reflects my personal opinion. So it's interesting to see just what kind of push that Ron Paul (and Gary Johnson, who announced shortly after I created the poll) have here as opposed to the nation at large.
In the next couple weeks I'll begin to compile the Presidential campaign widget along with ones for the Maryland U.S. Senate seat and First District Congressional seat. (In that case I think the key question is whether we'll see a Harris-Kratovil threepeat.) I know things slow down around here for the summer (who wants to sit inside reading blogs? Heck, I'm composing this outside in the summerlike breeze) but there's a lot of political events going on.
Now is the time to really pay attention, since those in power know summer is a political siesta. That's when they try and get away with the most damaging stuff.

Elvis Presley For LP Fans Only On 180g Import LP
Along with A Date With Elvis, For LP Fans Only is one of the most important special productions of the young King of Rock 'n' Roll. Because Elvis had been conscripted into the US Army, no new recordings could take place, and so record producers delved deep into the sound archives and dug out a few singles from his Sun Records days, mixed them with a couple of early RCA songs and a number from the Love Me Tender soundtrack, and, presto new Elvis LP was born. The overwhelming success of this album is not solely confined to the stylistic homogeneity of this collection of fresh, youthful songs. Far more, it's because for many fans the record offered the only substitution for the highly coveted but rare original singles "That's All Right," "Mystery Train" and "My Baby Left Me."
Elvis Presley For LP Fans Only Track Listing
1. That's All Right 2. Lawdy, Miss Clawdy 3. Mystery Train 4. Playing For Keeps 5. Poor Boy 6. My Baby Left Me 7. I Was The One 8. Shake, Rattle And Roll 9. I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone 10. You're A Heartbreaker

By Mohamed Adel
The consumption rate for 95-octane gasoline declined by 88% in the domestic market, and reached 5,000 tons in the first nine months of the 2013/2014 fiscal year (FY) as compared to approximately 43,000 during the year 2011/2012, according to a report issued by the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC).
The decline in consumption is expected after the government raised the price of a liter of 95-octane gasoline in November 2012 to EGP 5.85 from EGP 2.75, which happened in light of the stability of other forms of traded petroleum resources on the market, according to Medhat Youssef, an energy expert and former deputy head of the EGPC.
Youssef said that the 5,000 tons in the consumption rate for octane-95 during FY 2013/2014 was used by cars belonging to the presidency, cabinet, and embassies, whereas others who were using octane-95 moved over to octane-92 with octane booster added.
The price difference between a liter of 92 and 95 is approximately EGP 4. Owners of cars requiring octane-95 add half a liter of octane booster to every 40 liters of 92-octane gasoline, which gives the car the same capabilities, according to Youssef.
Youssef pointed out that a half liter of octane booster is EGP 33, and that the price of a liter of gasoline equivalent to octane-95 after octane booster has been added is EGP 2.75.
The Egyptian Customs Authority has allowed the private sector to import octane booser without interference from the EGPC. This led to a recovery in the market selling booster and a slump for sales of octane-95 after its price increase, according to Youssef.
Youssef stressed that it is not possible to cancel octane-95 from the market because there are numerous governmental vehicles consuming it, particularly the presidency's. The government began marketing octane-95 on the domestic market in September 1995, by Ministerial Decree No. 591[KE1] , Youssef said.
The use of octane-95 occurred based on the recommendations of global automotive manufacturers in order to attain optimal performance, according to the EGPC report.
The use of octane-95 in luxury cars improves the economics of fuel consumption, prolongs engine life, reduces costs of maintenance. If there was a shift back to the use of octane-95 rather than other forms of subsidised gasoline, there would be great benefits to the national economy, the budget, and social justice, according to Youssef.
Octane-95 is available at gasoline stations all over the country to meet demands for it, according to the report.

This game of 20 questions can help you determine whether you and your family will be prepared if a hurricane comes your way, according to LSU AgCenter experts.
"Having the right answers before a storm comes your way can help you be prepared if a hurricane strikes," says LSU AgCenter housing specialist Dr. Claudette Reichel. "Even if you've been through a hurricane before, it's easy to forget some of the preparations that can protect your property and family. A lot of people learned that lesson the hard way last year."
Reichel and LSU AgCenter disaster education coordinator Pat Skinner offer a 20-question quiz you can take to refresh your memory about storm precautions you can take now – saying these measures can "save time, money and hassles after a storm."
If you answer "No" or "I don't know" to any of these questions, the experts say you should take action now to make sure you're as well prepared as you can be:
–Do you have a disaster survival plan?
–Have you planned an evacuation route and destination?
–Do you have an emergency communication plan for staying in touch or getting messages to friends and family?
–Is your homeowner's and flood insurance coverage up to date and sufficient to replace your home and belongings if they are damaged or destroyed?
–Do you have an inventory of your property and belongings?
–Do you have copies of your policies, inventory, other important papers and valuables in a safe place – one that's waterproof and fireproof?
–Do you know how to turn off your utilities (electricity, gas and water)?
–Do you have a plan and supplies on hand to protect and secure your home, outdoor items, boat, pool and so forth?
–Has your roof been inspected within the past six months?
–Have you trimmed the trees and shrubs around your house?
–Has your car been maintained, and are the tires, including the spare, in good condition?
–Do you have a plan of what to do with food in your refrigerator and freezer in the event of a possible power outage?
–Is your emergency phone list up to date and handy?
–Do you have emergency survival supplies such as batteries, a battery-operated radio, flashlights, lanterns, fuel, nonperishable food for three days, water jugs, manual can opener, medicines, traveler's checks or cash, and so forth on hand?
–Do you have an emergency supply kit for your car?
–Do you have a plan of how to take care of family members with special needs (infants, the elderly or those with disabilities) in the event of a disaster?
–Have you decided what you will do with your animals if you must evacuate because of various types of hazards?
–Have you budgeted for the added expenses to protect your home, buy supplies, evacuate, clean up and recover?
–Have you discussed your emergency plans, duties and rules with your family?
–Do you know that the LSU AgCenter offers publications and other free information on disaster cleanup and recovery on its Web site (www.lsuagcenter.com) and through its parish LSU AgCenter Extension offices across the state?
"Don't flirt with disaster for your family or your home," Skinner cautions. "Make sure you have the right answers now – before a major storm heads our way."
For more information on preparing for a disaster or recovering from one, visit www.lsuagcenter.com and click on the contact your parish LSU AgCenter Extension office.
Among the publications available online at www.lsuagcenter.com are "There's a Hurricane Forming," the LSU AgCenter's "Storm Recovery Guide" and the "Disaster Information Resources Series." A variety of other resources also are available by going directly to www.lsuagcenter.com/hurricanes or by clicking Storm Recovery in the features section of the LSU AgCenter's home page.

Private George Knott was the only son of Robert and Mary Elizabeth Knott. He was born in Stretton but his parents later moved to Laxton in Northamptonshire before moving again to North Luffenham. In the 1911 census, George was working as a farm labourer in Laxton. He enlisted in Uppingham, firstly with the Bedfordshire Regiment but then joined the 4th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He died at home three days before the Armistice, on 8 November 1918, but we do not know the cause of death or whether he had been wounded in battle. George is buried in the south-west part of Laxton (All Saints) Churchyard and is remembered on a plaque in Laxton village hall. But he is not on any war memorial in Rutland and is not mentioned in George Phillips' Rutland and the Great War. George had two sisters. One of them, Sarah, named her son, who was born in 1921, after her brother.
Do you know something about George Robert that hasn't been mentioned?
You can add any new information and images as a contribution at the bottom of this page.

LFEL supports the "Féminité sans Abri" Association
"Féminité sans Abri" is a concept shared on Facebook, then a group and association founded by Lucie Sanchez based on her professional and personal experiences to uphold women's rights to dignity.
Women are experiencing increasing insecurity and they're losing a little more of their femininity and dignity every day being on the street. Unfortunately, this report is on the rise and now affects more and more people including families.
Lucie's idea: collect samples of toiletries, cosmetics and hygiene products and distribute them to people in difficult situations. Cleanliness is the foundation for getting your self-esteem back after all!
The "Féminité sans Abri" concept is a project based on ecology, helping people without expecting anything in return, wasting less and not over-consuming; it's about sharing and community.
The LFEL and VDLV wanted to get involved in the project and collect products within their teams.
As much as 24kg of toiletries of all kinds were collected and dropped off at the association: this collection will go into making countless kits and restore a bit of dignity to a multitude of people.
We are delighted to have been part of a community effort and support this fantastic association.
Find out more about the association on the website: http://feminitesansabri.fr/

Dear Bill,
I write today about the ever increasing pressure to begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. A vote last week drove home the point that this is becoming more and more of a contentious issue. In a bill that was expected to fail by a longshot, the vote actually came to a close failure vote of 215-204, with 26 Republicans joining in the effort with all but eight of the Democrats. This was a significant step for the Democrats to step out against the President in opposition to his public stance. This bill essentially called for the Obama Administration to establish a plan this summer to accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and to pursue a negotiated settlement with "all interested parties".
This is a substantial shift as just one year ago Congressman McGovern suffered a much greater defeat with 98 Democrats going against a similar piece of legislation. After the heightened coverage surrounding Bin Laden's death, Americans are more aware that as Congressman Hoyer observed, "Many of the terrorists against whom we are fighting are no longer located in Afghanistan but are in disparate locations, from Yemen to Somalia to Southeast Asia." This is one factual point that has provided a basis for the sentiment that the U.S. troop's ongoing mission in Afghanistan is in part a futile waste of U.S. time and resources.
Although the situation in Afghanistan is complicated and may be hard for those without military experience much less inside intelligence information to fully understand or appreciate, there are a few basic observations that can be made. First, there multiple obstacles preventing the U.S. from making progress as intended. Second, Obama has failed to present a clear strategy that people, even those within his own party, can unify behind. For any issue in politics, messaging is always key to rallying support. The problem is that the Administration has not determined a clear exit strategy and therefore, they are unable to communicate a vision of a withdrawal method to the taxpayers who are funding these efforts. It is natural for Americans to grow anxious about an exit strategy when it is clear our troops are not making significant progress in regards to the stated purposes of the mission, namely "nation building". The white elephant in the room is the fact that the U.S. Government is conceivably not revealing the true purpose for remaining in Afghanistan. This of course is the geographic proximity to a growing threat to the U.S., Pakistan. This is a country in which the core leadership of al-Qaeda is now located in addition to their develop nuclear weapons. The U.S. would not want to vocalize this purpose as it would further strain the delicate relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan. However, there is logic in positioning ourselves in the region in a way that prevents the terrorist groups from growing in size and power. Since this purpose is still only hypothetical, I will just address the current challenges the U.S. faces in Afghanistan which are delaying an immediate exit.
Fist, the U.S. has stated that our troops would be withdrawn when Afghanistan has a permanently stable and well-resourced government. After the fall of the Taliban in 2001, the Bush Administration made the decision to try to rebuild a relatively strong central government and to assist Afghanistan's economy. Even at the January 28, 2010 "London Conference" and the July 20, 2010 "Kabul Conference", two international conferences on Afghanistan, the focus was still on expanding and reforming the Afghan convernance.The problem with using this measurement as a prerequisite to exiting, is the fact that Afghanistan may never meet this objective. Current President Hamid Karzai's failure to forcefully confront corruption within the government has caused a great loss of support by the people. The rife corruption has caused the Afghan citizens to even resent the Karzai government; completely undermining any faith they may have held that America could be trusted in their strategy of rebuilding stable governance. The two more recent corruption stories were that involving the Kabul Bank, and the U.S. sanctions imposed on the money trading firm New Ansari Money Exchange on February 18, 2011. In response to this, the Obama Administration and Congress have begun strategically urging Kazai to publicly confront government corruption. Karzai has in turn resisted these efforts and has become more suspicious of the U.S. motivations.
Secondly, there are several factions of conflicting governance currently controlling this country in various regions and capacities. Amidst the more organized, legitimate bodies, there are also individual "warlords", local strongmen who wield personal militias and functionally destabilize the progress between the U.S. and Afghan officials. In newly released Defense Department reports in May 2011, they recognized the fact that our security efforts are being challenged by multiple armed groups. Until the U.S.-led offensives launched in 2009, the Karzai government was estimated to control about 30% of the country, insurgent's controlled 4% officially and were considered to heavily influence or operate in another 30%, and finally local tribes and groups controlled the remainder. As of 2009, the Taliban had named shadow governors in 33 of 34 Afghan provinces. It is incredibly difficult for the U.S. to make progress when the citizens have such varied and divided loyalties to difference governing bodies. Certain regions continue to be potential safe havens for al-Qaeda forces, and therefore General Patraeus has stated the U.S. will not leave these areas. These threatening areas include Kandahar and Helman in the South and Kunar and Paktika in the East, along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, he U.S. has stated it would hand-over security responsibilities to Afghan Security Forces for seven areas of the country in July, even though there is no apparent solidified Security Force to hand off the baton to. The U.S. has failed to strengthen a central governing body that the citizens could coalesce behind. Unless a strategy to accomplish this is formed, the U.S. progress will continue at a sluggish pace at best.
Thirdly, there is the instability that is created by way of their drug creation and distribution, an issue that gets little media coverage. However, some consider the narcotics trafficking to be a core impediment to the U.S. missions. The trafficking of narcotics undermines the rule of law and provides large sums of money to the insurgency, which often times goes untraced. The Taliban makes between $70-$100 million per year off the trafficking of poppy or opium. As the Obama Administration has focused on developing and promoting alternative agricultural crops, the Afghans have turned away from the U.S. and instead to the Taliban for protection of their ability to earn income in what is one of the top industries for Afghans. This counter-narcotics approach has severely back-fired on the U.S. and given the Taliban more control among the locals.
The stated U.S. policy thus far has been to ensure that Afghanistan will not again become a base for terrorist attacks against the United States. The Obama Administration has asserted that it is pursuing a well-resourced and integrated military civilian strategy intended to pave the way for a gradual transition to Afghan leadership that is to be completed by 2014. To support this mission, an additional 51,000 U.S. forces were authorized in 2009 reviews to increase U.S. troop levels to 99,000. However, Obama has also said we intended to have a relationship with Afghanistan that will include military involvement long after 2014, an indication that the administration sees no foreseeable end to our presence.
Amidst the tension over this issue, is the continual increase in Government funding for expanded efforts. The House Appropriations Defense subcommittee just released their Pentagon budget bill for FY 2012 which contained $119 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. government continues to spend a substantial portion of our defense budget in a country where there is a lack of clear vision for efforts moving forward. It is now time for the Administration to communicate their intentions to the American people, in a way that is nonthreatening to our security. At some point we will have to determine whether it is worth the billions of dollars and other resources spent to remain in a region when we continue to take one step forward, two steps back.

BSP confident PH to generate record high $8-billion FDI in 2017
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Thursday expressed confidence that the target of record-high $8 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) will be achieved in 2017 even as the inflows of job-generating projects fell below a year ago levels as of July.
"The BSP expects the Philippines to sustain FDI inflows this year, close to the $8-billion level in 2016. These prospective FDIs are expected to be channelled mainly to the manufacturing sector (such as electronics and motor parts), which can help create employment and more growth opportunities," the BSP said in a statement.
"There is a huge potential in attracting further FDIs, which can put the country at par with the large levels of FDI seen in neighboring Asian countries. Such potential can be realized by reforming the rules on foreign ownership, addressing infrastructure gaps, and reducing the cost of doing business," the BSP added.
"Addressing these challenges will require considerable support from the government. For the BSP, among the measures taken to promote a more supportive environment for higher foreign investments have been the liberalization of foreign bank entry in the country (Republic Act No. 10641 or the Foreign Bank Liberalization Act passed in July 2014) as well as the phased-in liberalization of the foreign exchange regulatory framework that started In 2007. The BSP will continue to promote an enabling environment for investments to thrive in line with its primary mandate of maintaining price and financial stability," it said.
According to the BSP, "prospects for inward flows of FDI into the country continue to be favorable as both 'push' (subdued global economic growth) and, more importantly, 'pull' (sustained robust macroeconomic performance and investment grade status) factors remain."
For 2017, the BSP expects FDI inflows to reach the $8-billion level after it had jacked up its 2017 forecast from $7 billion previously. FDI reached a record $7.933 billion in 2016.
But the latest BSP data showed that the net inflow of FDI from January to July declined 16.5 percent to $3.904 billion from $4.677 billion last year.
The year-on-year drop in seven-month FDI had been attributed by the BSP to lower inflows of net equity capital—at $272 million, down from last year's $1.5 billion.
Still, "investment in debt instruments and reinvestment of earnings remain on an uptrend as they reached $3.1 billion and $487 million, respectively, for January to July 2017," the BSP said.
The BSP noted that "there has lately been heightened interest surrounding recent developments in FDI, particularly the decline observed in the first half of 2017," referring to the recent press statement of Sen. Franklin Drilon noting of a 90-percent drop in "new" FDI.
"As reported by the BSP, FDIs registered net inflows of $3.6 billion in January to June 2017, 14-percent lower than the $4.2-billion net inflows posted in the same period last year. The lower net inflows were due to the 90.3 percent decline in net equity capital to $141 million from $1.4 billion a year ago. Data showed that the significant inflow noted last year was attributed to a large investment flow that went to the financial and insurance industry… The decline in net equity capital was, however, offset in part by higher investments in debt instruments and reinvestment of earnings amounting to $3 billion and $416 million, respectively," the BSP explained.
The BSP said the overall FDI picture was not being reflected by the decline in net equity capital, which Drilon had highlighted.
"The BSP's compilation of FDI statistics is based on international standards and concepts outlined in the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6) of the International Monetary Fund. Based on the BPM6, FDI includes net equity capital, reinvestment of earnings and net debt instruments. Regardless of the source, inflows from these components are geared toward business development and expansion," according to the BSP.

This is the story of my journey through the ordained ministry of the Episcopal Church. Much to my surprise, it was a life that suited my values and personality like no other. It began when the American culture was fueled by the norms and standards of institutional religion in the late 1950's and early 1960's.
From the time of my ordination in 1969 up until the present moment, we have watched international and American church worship life decline year after year. Today, almost all denominations and faiths are retracting into an uncertain future. It can be argued that at the current rate of decline, the entire religious enterprise in America has less than one hundred years of life remaining. Somehow, my life has run counter to the trends and demographic realities by which we have been surrounded. I discovered solid spiritual values that gave my life a sense of abundance. At the same time, every church I was a part of grew and flourished. So, contrary to the cries of the legions of naysayers, I am nothing if not hopeful. To be a Christian is to live with a sense that resurrections are at the very core of every history.
I believe that, in very real ways, we are just getting ready to return to our most ancient roots, where, once again, on the fragile edge of society, we will become a steady pathway to an abundant life and, ultimately, the driving force for liberation and justice.

Random information on the term "AURA":
The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) is a consortium of universities and other institutions that operates astronomical observatories and telescopes. AURA recognizes its mission statement as "To promote excellence in astronomical research by providing access to state-of-the-art facilities."
Founded October 10, 1957 with the encouragement of the National Science Foundation (NSF), AURA was incorporated by a group of seven U.S. universities: California, Chicago, Harvard, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. The first meeting of the Board of Directors took place in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Today, AURA has 39 member institutions in the United States and seven international affiliate members.
AURA began as a small organization dedicated to ground-based optical astronomy, managing a range of 1- to 4-meter telescopes and providing community advocacy for optical/infrared astronomy. Over the years, AURA expanded its focus to include Solar Astronomy and the Gemini 8-meter telescopes, going on to partner with other consortia such as WIYN (Wisconsin Indiana Yale & NOAO) and SOAR (Southern Astrophysical Research). In the 1980s, AURA took on the management of the Space Telescope Science Institute, opening up the ultraviolet, optical, and infrared wavelength bands in space with the Hubble Space Telescope. AURA is furthering its aims in infrared space astronomy through the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

babyslings to be fashionable, they need to provide superior quality and maximum security as well.
You can use this resource as a guide in choosing a sling or baby carrier but
whether you opt to buy your own babysling or make one for yourself, you should
take note that a good babysling will not cause you (and even reduce)
back-strain and should allow for several different carrying positions. Find (or
make) a babysling that is fully adjustable so that it would fit mom and dad everytime.
Whenever you use babyslings, be sure to remember to always check the minimum
and maximum weight that it can carry. This will keep you and your baby safe. For
example, slings (or those traditional-style baby carriers that have the baby
snug up against one's front or chest) can only be used for children aged 0 to
24 months old. After that, it would be better to use a back carrier to transfer
the strain on the back.
Have you tried babyslings before? Care to share about your experience in the
comments section?

Does a successful appeal against dismissal 'revive' a contract and reinstate the employee, even if a contract doesn't provide for that?
Yes, held the Court of Appeal in Patel v Folkestone Nursing Home Ltd.
The Claimant was a care assistant, dismissed over two charges of misconduct. He appealed under a contractual procedure and was told by letter that his appeal had been successful, but without being told if one allegation had been overturned.
The Claimant refused to return to work and claimed unfair dismissal. At the tribunal, the Respondent argued that the successful appeal had reinstated the Claimant, so he hadn't been dismissed.
The tribunal rejected this argument, holding it should not be implied into the contract (which was silent about it) that a successful appeal resulted in reinstatement.
The Court of Appeal overturned the tribunal's judgment. They held that in the context of an ordinary employment contract and absent some express qualification, the effect of a contractual right of appeal against dismissal is that a successful appeal revives the contract and 'extinguishes' the original dismissal.
However, that was not the end of this case. The Court invited the parties' submissions on whether the appeal outcome letter was a breach of the implied term of trust and confidence, and if on the Claimant's case, as pleaded, his case might be that he was constructively dismissed by the 'unsatisfactory' appeal outcome.

Akihiro Kondo v Kaewkla Chaiyonggym
When a fighter is told he has another bout scheduled after his upcoming bout he can fall into the trap of over-looking the immediate bout in an attempt to focus on the one further in the future. Thankfully for former Japanese Lightweight champion Akihiro Kondo he didn't make that mistake when he took on Thailand's Kaewkla Chaiyonggym, despite having a bout scheduled for just a few weeks later.
Better yet for Kondo wasn't just the fact he won but the fact he did so relatively easily, damage free and quickly seeing off his Thai foe in less than 2 minutes with a hard right hand that sent the Thai down hard where he took the 10 count.

UNITED NATIONS - Aid groups are demanding increased protections for civilians in Afghanistan as fighting continues to escalate in the Central Asian country that is regaining its status as a focal point of the U.S.-led "war on terror."
In raising its concerns about the growing number of deaths of civilians, the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR) says both the U.S.-led allied forces and militant groups are violating international laws of conflict.
"Searches conducted by Afghan and international forces have on some occasions involved excessive use of force, extra-judicial killings, destruction of property, and/or mistreatment of suspects," said ACBAR director Anja de Beer.
The militants, on the other hand, are mounting an "increasingly vigorous, systematic terror campaign of threats, abductions, and executions aimed against members of the civilian population," de Beer added in a statement.
According to the group, the escalating violence has forced the closure of a large number of schools and health facilities. The fighting is also holding up the implementation of vital development projects and has forced many people to flee their homes and villages in recent months.
Afghanistan has been mired in a vicious cycle of violence since 1979 when local communist groups formed a government in Kabul with the help of the former Soviet army. They were overthrown by Islamist militants backed by the United States in the early 1990s.
U.S. officials largely ignored the country and the plight of its people from then until 2001, when Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda group launched its attacks on the United States.
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, United States and other Western forces invaded Afghanistan and overthrew the Islamist Taliban government, which was believed to have close links to Al-Qaeda, even allowing the terrorist group to maintain training camps on its soil. The U.S.-led Western forces have remained stationed in Afghanistan ever since in an effort to root out Taliban fighters.
Despite its heavy military presence in Afghanistan, however, analysts say the United States has largely failed to achieve its objectives, as militants in the south and east of the country have not only continued to maintain their strongholds but have grown in recruiting new members.
According to officials from ACBAR and other organizations, tens of thousands of innocent people have been killed in the country since 2001.
This year, according to ACBAR, at least 2,500 people have lost their lives in the Afghan conflict. Although it is hard to ascertain the exact figures, the group claims that up to 1,000 of the dead were civilians.
The number of civilian casualties in July of this year is believed to be higher than in any other month in the last six years.

ACBAR is a coalition of 100 organizations that provide humanitarian aid and help with reconstruction in Afghanistan, including local groups -- like the Afghan Women's Education Center and the Helping Afghan Farmers Organization -- and international groups like Action Against Hunger, Action Aid, and the American Friends Service Committee.
Humanitarian groups delivering aid to civilians in Afghanistan say their workers' lives are constantly under threat from air raids by U.S. forces and attacks by militants. This year alone, as many as 19 people working for different aid organizations were killed.
"This situation has forced many aid agencies to restrict the scale ad scope of their development and humanitarian operations," said de Beer. That, at a time when there is a severe drought in some parts of the country and the price of food is going up.
"Afghans are facing extremely difficult circumstances," he added. "Young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women are at especially high risk. Increasing and spreading insecurity is jeopardizing the delivery of essential humanitarian assistance to these people."
ACBAR members say they want all warring parties to avoid the use of torture and violence against innocent civilians in accordance with the international laws of armed conflict and ensure that there are proper investigations into such incidents.
Recently, a major international rights watchdog warned that international aid to Afghanistan would go to waste if the civilian population remained caught up in the crossfire from the warring parties.
"Most Afghans continue to live in an insecure environment where many of their basic human rights remain unfulfilled," said Brad Adams of the New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) organization, which monitors rights abuses across the world.
In a statement, Adams urged the Afghan government and international donors to ensure the "full and genuine participation" of Afghan civil society, including the independent Afghan Human Rights Commission, in high-level policy meetings and deliberations.
Currently, a vast majority of Afghanistan's 28 million people are living in abject poverty with an average life expectancy of about 44 years. As the armed conflict continues to no visible end, many people are turning to drug lords for work on poppy farms.
Experts at the United Nations who monitor the worldwide trade in narcotics say Afghanistan remains a leading illicit producer of opium, which is used to manufacture heroin, a powerful drug that remains widely used throughout the Western world.
Facing violence, poverty, and a growing drug trade, observers say Afghanistan needs more help from the international community to get back on a path to peace and prosperity.
"Much more investment and work remains before the international community fulfills the multiple commitments it has made to assist Afghanistan to achieve sustainable development, local and regional security, and respect for human rights," said HRW's Adams.

I love bread. I absolutely love everything about bread. It's probably one of my favourite foods. But it's something that people don't often pay much mind to, you pick up your fave and go on with your day, never really thinking about how much that single decision influences your nutrient intake.
Firstly, let's talk about serving size. How much is a serve of bread? One slice? Two slices? More? Less? The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating defines a serve of bread as one slice, or 40 grams.
So we can safely assume that when we eat two slices of bread, that will be two serves of bread, right? WRONG. I looked at eight off-the-shelf breads available at my local coles to show you how much of a difference there truly is.
All of the breads did have one thing in common, they defined one serve as two slices… But how many grams in two slices varied greatly.
|Two slices
|AGTHE Serves
|Energy (kj)
|Coles – Budget
|59 grams
|1.5 serves
|60 grams
|1.5 serves
|Coles – Medium
|70 grams
|1.8 serves
|The One
|74 grams
|1.9 serves
|83 grams
|2.1 serves
|Abbott's Village
|84 grams
|2.1 serves
|Coles – Traditional
|84 grams
|2.1 serves
|114 grams
|2.9 serves
As you can see, two slices of the coles budget brand bread will only give you 1.5 serves of bread, whereas two slices of Lawson's will have you sitting at almost three. This disparity can make a huge difference to your nutrient intake.
But why should I care?
Let's say you're aged between 19-50 and you're trying to shed a few kilos to bring yourself back into a healthy weight range. You have made the sensible decision to consult The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating Recommended Serves for Adults and the grains/cereals food group pages. Even though the grains and cereals group contains things like rice, barley, quinoa, pasta, and cous cous, all you've got at home is bread. Bummer, but you're ready to change so you persist and resolve to eat 6 pieces of bread today. You decide to have three nourishing sandwiches (maybe inspired by the ones I posted).
If you're eating Lawson's this means at the end of the day you will have actually eaten 8.7 serves of bread, or if you're eating coles budget bread, you've only eaten 4.5 serves. The energy difference? 1410kjs (or around 340 calories). If this situation occurs regularly, that difference is truly significant enough to make or break a weight loss plan. If you're eating Lawson's you might find you're not losing weight at all, or maybe you'll even gain weight, despite your seemingly strict adherence to the healthy eating guidelines! Or on the flip side, if you're eating the coles budget brand you could be under-eating, leading to exhaustion, irritability, and hunger, as well as other consequences like low fibre intake leading to constipation. All these things are going to significantly impact on your motivation. Who's going to stick to a "healthy diet" if it leaves you feeling hungry, weak, and constipated? or if it makes you gain weight? I sure wouldn't!
Now this isn't to say that you should switch away from the bread you love. You should always follow a diet that is within your means and that you enjoy. I have made this post so you can be aware of the little things which could affect the healthfulness of your diet, so you can be empowered to make informed decisions. Go forth and love your bread, just think about the size of the slice next time you're chowing down on a delicious sandwich!
P.S. Credit to my amazing, and hilarious friend Stef for coming up with this punny title. You're the bomb.

June 3, 2017
Up early so we can pack up as this is our last morning.
Some very sleepy players this morning …. I wonder why!
Breakfast, on the coach and off to the rink. A light run and warm up and the girls were all wide awake and ready to go. Fore checking and basic systems play.
Lunch was followed by a big surprise for the girls Pernilla Wiberg olympic silver medalist with team Sweden came to talk to the girls.
She went through her development, her struggles to be accepted in boys teams her determination to be the best, what it's like to be at the Olympics and what it is like to beat the USA.
I think some of the girls were really surprised at her training and playing week but it only re enforced what we had been saying all week.
Pernilla then played a game of guess how many caps she had…. most of us were way way out but not Jessie Taylor who was nearest with 278 and won a team Sweden polo.
A wonderful insight into a player at the highest level and a big thank you to Pernilla for taking the time and effort to come to the camp.
After the excitement it was off for a warm up before the end of camp game.
Every year we try and match player for player so we end up with an even game, and the game is a showcase of what the girls have learned in the week.
Good game with Team Blue running out winners in the end over Team White.
After the game and a cool down it was a shower and get ready for the presentations.
Always a surprise when the sweaty players we have all week are transformed into elegantly dressed young women.
Certificates were given out to all the players for a week well done and then it was goodbyes and for many see you on Sunday at the Nationals.
This is a tough group to coach and manage with ages from 10 to 15 but this year's squad was well behaved and were a credit as always to their sport. Hotel managers and staff are always amazed at how polite the girls are and this year's group were no exception.
Our plans are based round giving the girls the basic skills, behaviour expectations and insights into hockey at a higher level.
Hopefully they will all develop into future England and GB players.
Finally a thank you to all the staff who work under Head Coach Tim Healand, Lyn Burton, Kirsten Deighton, Nicole Jackson, Abbie Thornton and Georgina Farman.
Thanks for a great week girls!

Sword Coast Legends PC Download
Sword Coast Legends PC Download Full InstallShield
is based on the production of the fifth edition of Dungeon & Dragons. The game was in the studio n-Space, in cooperation with a team of Digital Extremes and the company Wizards of the Coast. The people responsible for it previously worked on such films as Baldur's Gate or Dragon Age: Origins. The story takes us to the title Sword Coast, located in the Forgotten Realms. The game is a classic RPG in which the player takes control of a group of characters and guiding them through outpost, getting rid of while encountered enemies and collecting useful items. The fight takes place in real time with the option of an active pause. Developers have prepared the opportunity to play in co-op, so that each of heroes can control another person. In addition, he Dungeon Master mode. It allows one person to play the master and decide the fate of heroes – perhaps because both help the team and prevent them from crossing through the spacing of additional traps, or recall even more enemies. Developers have prepared various races five characters to choose from, and six classes. Naturally, each of which has different combat skills.
Let's focus was primarily on the campaign offered here. At the outset, we do what tigers like the most and – jupi! – Create your own hero. And already at this point you may receive a first jarring because our disposal was given barely six character classes (remember how big selection had such BG2 or Neverwinter Nights). Although stubborn this state of affairs is not necessarily so hurt, but still, D & D has rightly accustomed to something else. So we choose only from among fighter, sorcerer, archer, paladin, cleric and rogue. Then we decide to race, some detail will determine the appearance of the hero and equipment worn by his boot, and even decide about his past and the religion (light modification factor). Ultimately, we are interested in and will match the characteristics and skills.
Talents are separated into five main categories (different sets for different professions) and and more detailed them a few relatively small trees. Here you can have a natural association with Dragon Age: Origins: development system implemented on the needs of the Sword Coast Legends is quite similar and is based on similar mechanisms. And it basically would be enough. Alter-ego is ready, we can start having fun.

YESTERDAY we reported on a World Record attempt for the fastest speed in a jet suit.
So we took a look back over some of the more colourful attempts in Brighton, Hove and Sussex to break records over the years.
We were not disappointed, with mermaids, pooch power, conga lines and dancing.
In July 2019 Paddle Round the Pier attempted to set a record for the most dogs to paddle board in a five minute period.
Read more on The Argus: 'Iron Man' smashes jet suit speed world record
A brave group attempted to squeeze themselves into a Smart Car in 2001.
It turns out 15 people tried to jam themselves in to the car on the seafront.
In 2017 there was a Guinness World Record attempt for the most mermaids gathered in one place, namely Bexhill.
Coco the French bulldog was dressed up by Deborah Midgley for a Halloween record attempt at Hove Park in 2017.
There was an attempt for the world's biggest Charleston at the Roaring 20s Festival in Bexhill.
We even found a picture of The Brighton and Hove Entertainment Managers Association attempting the world's longest conga line.
Shoppers attempted a world record for the biggest Teddy Bears picnic at The Arndale (now The Beacon) Centre in Eastbourne.
More than 250 people turned up with their bears for the charity attempt 2015.
A line of teddies stretched through the shopping centre and into nearby Terminus Road.
It was to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Perhaps you recognise yourself from these events?

D: Do you read more in the morning or at night?
I tend to read more at night. My mornings are usually quite busy!
A: Are there any books that changed the way you thought about things?
Too many to list here!
Y: YA or not?
I love a bit of YA!
A: Are there any characters you honestly believe to be real?
Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee!
N: Nobody borrows my books or I don't mind lending them out?
I don't mind lending my books out if they're looked after. Mess up my book, though, and you won't be borrowing any ever again!
D: Do you ever smell your books?
Doesn't everyone?
N: Not everyone likes books, is this a positive or a negative?
A positive because it's a quick way of knowing who I shouldn't bother talking to! 😉 I'm joking, of course. Everyone is entitled to like different things, so it's neither a positive or a negative
I: I keep my books in the best condition or maybe not? Which are you?
Best condition! Though my favourite books aren't in perfect condition due to over-reading!
G: Gosh I have too many books! True or False?
Can anyone ever really have too many books?
H: Have you ever spilled or stained your books before with something, and if so how?
Nope! My dad dropped one of my books in the bath before, though! Does that count?
T: Toned or un-toned while reading? . . or in other words. . .Do you read and workout at the same time?
Nope! I find it difficult to do my yoga/pilates while reading! My focus is usually on not falling over!
What do you think of this tag?
What are your answers? I'd love to know!

I found the inspiration for this trip on the website of Eastern Moravia by bike. This area has one of the most beautiful cycling paths in the Czech Republic, so it is a paradise for cyclists. We stopped at Velehrad and in the Openair Museum in Modrá village. This trip was a great experience for Ella.
Morava river
We parked the car at the harbor in Uherské Hradiště and to be honest with you, it took us a while to get out of town. We rode along the cycle path that leads along the Morava River and forgot to follow the signs. So we recommend to talk less and follow the signs of the way not to return, like us.
Downhill ride from Tupesy
Finally, we managed to find the way out of the town and headed Zlechov and Tupesy and continued down the cycle path between the oilseed rape fields to the beginning of the village of Velehrad, where we enjoyed a funny resting place with a large mushroom.
From here it is just a minute away from the famous pilgrimage site of Velehrad. The Monastery Buildings Complex is home to the Secondary School and the Social Welfare Institute. At the information center it is possible to arrange a tour of Sala terrena with baroque frescoes and Slovanský sál, located in the former monastery. We were mainly attracted by the Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Cyril and Methodius, which is the heart of this pilgrimage site and definitely belongs to the most beautiful ones we have ever visited.

We used the gate at the back of the area to a cycle path that led us to the Conventional Pond where we enjoyed the incredible silence that was here. Only ducks and carps occasionally watered the water. There was a beautiful view of Velehrad and a long stop - Open Air Museum Modrá - was waiting for us behind the road.

Right next to the open-air museum there is a hotel, which has a garden restaurant. We had lunch here and then visited the open-air museum Modra. This Great Moravian settlement in Pomoraví is showing one of the most important stages of our national history and we had the chance to get to know our old past. The open-air museum presents its everyday life, freeing goats, hens, cats, pigs, and a donkey. In the middle of the area, there is a guard tower where you can climb up the ladders. You will have a nice view of the area, pond and Velehrad. Ella was very surprised how people lived in the Great Moravian times. More such places.
Open-air museum Živá voda
Near the open-air museum there is a botanical and freshwater exposition Živá voda. It presents life in the water and around the water, with aquatic animals and plants of the Morava River, adjacent streams and pools. In the outdoor area you will find typical Moravian herbs and trees, the spring, the herb garden or the forest. On the ground floor of the main building we were welcomed by a five-meter big model of fish. Children can try out various theme quizzes or art activities, which Ella appreciated a lot.
Živá voda, Modrá
The biggest attraction is the underwater tunnel, which is a unique experiment in freshwater in Europe. Located at a depth of 3.5 meters beneath the water, it has a length of 8 meters and a width of 2 meters. On the left side you can see fishes from cold waters, mountain streams, and rivers - graylings, burbots, trouts, barbels etc. The right side is mainly for large fishes such as carp. There are also predators here - pikes, zanders or catfishes and rarity are sturgeons.
Tunnel in Živá voda
From the open-air museum, we climbed above the village of Modra and the heaviest climb to Jalubí was about to come. Not having my electric bike Ghost TERU 9, I would cry. I gave the lightest mode and Turbo, and made the hill to the top. I'm not saying that I did not get sweat, I had a load of 30 kg behind me, but the ebike helped me a lot.

Then I took a little breath on the low-traffic road, which we left to the left to the windmill after a while. The mill is not original, but its construction has emphasized the greatest possible authenticity, the use of the original material and the way of doing the work in the past. From the mill, there is a beautiful view of the surroundings and definitely worth a stop.
Wind mill in Jalubí
We passed Sušice to Babice to the Baťa Channel. The channel length from Otrokovice to Skalice is approximately 53 km. Some sections lead through the river Morava, some are artificially excavated by channel sections. The idea of regulating the Morava river was originally adopted by the great-engineer Tomáš Baťa and after his death Jan Antonín Baťa continued in this bold plan. The regulation of the Morava stream and the construction of the channel had several meanings for the company. The first was the realization of a dream about the interconnection of European rivers, the second was the transport of lignite from the mine in Ratíškovice to the factories and heating plants in Otrokovice and the third was the construction of a melioration system near the Morava river.

During the high-season, you can also take a boat to Uherské Hradiště. Along Baťa's channel, however, runs a cycle path, which we conveniently rode back to Uherské Hradiště. It was a nice and relaxing day. The trip leads mostly on low-traffic roads and newly built bicycle paths. We did not like to ride on the concrete paths, so it worsed our overall impression. We like to ride in the countryside more. Unfortunately, this is a trend now everywhere, not just here.

A doctor's mistake can result in severe injuries, complications, and sometimes wrongful death. Just like any of us, doctors do make mistakes, and not every error is an instance of medical malpractice. But, when a doctor provides treatment below the accepted standard of care and the result is a patient who suffers harm, there is cause for a lawsuit.
According to the law, doctors cannot be held legally responsible for all types of diagnostic errors. That's why patents need to prove three things if they want to win a medical malpractice lawsuit on the basis of the wrong diagnosis. These include:
These are not evidence of negligence. Skilled doctors do make diagnostic mistakes even when practicing reasonable care. We will help you determine whether or not your doctor acted competently by evaluating what he or she did or didn't do in arriving at your diagnosis.
We, therefore, look at the differential diagnosis he or she used to determine your course of treatment. This method is used by doctors to identify a condition or disease.
After further investigation, doctors sometimes discover information that results in inclusions to the differential diagnostic list.
If you have a case for medical malpractice based on diagnostic error, you will need to prove that a doctor of a similar specialty and under similar conditions, wouldn't have misdiagnosed your condition or illness. This means establishing that either:
You will also need to prove that the delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis caused your injury or condition to progress beyond where it would have, had the right diagnosis been made and been made timeously. You will also have to show that this progression had an adverse impact on your treatment.
For instance, a delayed cancer diagnosis meant you had to undergo a strict treatment regime like chemotherapy, or perhaps a patient died because the cancer was too far progressed to respond to treatment.
In some cases, a patient will be able to show harm even if his or her condition is still treatable.
Should a doctor diagnose a patient with an illness or condition that the patient doesn't actually have, that patient may be able to prove harm in the form of medical issues, stress, anxiety, and related expenses for unnecessary treatment.
There are a number of ways that doctors can make mistakes. These include:
Believe it or not, misdiagnosis is far more likely in the emergency room. That's because the increased time pressure in the emergency environment means there is less time to investigate differential diagnoses thoroughly. What's more, the traumatic and grave nature of emergency room injuries and illnesses means that incorrect, or missed diagnosis is far more likely to harm the patient.
Unfortunately, in this type of setting, less common conditions and illnesses often escape the correct diagnosis. What's more, conditions that are not common in certain populations aren't likely to be correctly diagnosed.
For instance, a young woman with gastric problems, which is actually a sign of a heart attack, is a lot less likely to be diagnosed as having a heart attack, compared to a middle-aged, overweight male with the exact same symptoms.
Conditions that are frequently misdiagnosed in an emergency room setting include:
To many of us, it's obvious that a doctor's negligence can lead to harm in patients. However, for a case to be considered medical malpractice, a physician has to testify in court that he or she did commit misconduct and that it was a huge factor in causing a medical setback, injury, or even wrongful death.
Our experienced New York City lawyers have access to a variety of elite medical experts who will testify on doctor negligence cases that range from birth injuries to surgical errors and more.
Sadly, doctor negligence can happen at any stage of treatment from the GP's consulting room to the operating table. Our team will carefully and comprehensively investigate a case of negligence to determine whether or not a physician knowingly or even blatantly failed to give patients the right treatment.
We have over 30 years of experience dealing with malpractice insurance companies, and if we have to, we will take your case to trial. We have a winning record of success when it comes to trials! In fact, we have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of our medical malpractice and personal injury clients in New York.
If you, or a loved one, have suffered at the hands of a doctor's negligence in New York, our lawyers are waiting to help you. We serve the Queens, Manhattan, NYC Metro, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Bronx areas.

Aldi reported a record week of sales during the week before Christmas.
The discount supermarket said that sales were up by 10% compared to the same period the year previous.
Sales were boosted by "Specially Selected" and "Exquisite" lines offered by the supermarket.
Aldi, which has 800 stores in the UK, has a supermarket share of 7.6% and hopes to have 1,200 stores opened by the end of 2025.
"Our Christmas range was the largest and most innovative yet and caught the imagination of our customers, who visited our stores in record numbers," said Giles Hurley, the supermarket's Aldi UK chief executive.
"Although we saw strong growth across all key categories, the standout performance was in our Specially Selected brand where shoppers treated themselves to premium products for a fraction of the price they would have paid elsewhere for similar quality products."
"A key factor behind our record performance was the collective commitment, energy and enthusiasm of all our colleagues, and I want to thank them for all their hard work at this exceptionally busy time."
The rest of this week will have trading updates from Tesco (LON: TSCO), Sainsbury's (LON: SBRY), Morrisons, Marks & Spencer (LON: MKS) and Waitrose.
High competition from Aldi and Lidl has forced supermarkets including Morrisons (LON: MRW) to cut prices. Morrisons said on Monday it will cut the price of more than 900 products.
"We're listening to customers who are telling us that their budgets will be stretched in January, so we are cutting every penny we can on the essentials that will help them feed their families," said Andy Atkinson, its marketing director.
