SKA - Spartak. Press-conference
HC Spartak Moscow coach Igor Ulanov:
- We stuck to the game plan and played in a disciplined manner. Everyone knows that you need discipline in the playoffs. Our special teams were excellent. Even with SKA creating opportunities, we didn't concede a goal, and we know the calibre of forwards they have on their roster. Nevertheless, it's too early to be happy, the series is only just starting. Thank you to the fans for their support, it was great to hear them inside the stadium.
HC SKA head coach Ilya Vorobyov:
- I congratulate Spartak with their victory. When you don't score a single goal, it's difficult to hope for a successful result. We will investigate.
- Why couldn't SKA score at all?
- We will look into the seasons. On Thursday, you will see a completely different performance.

The Federal Reserve, with new power in hand, intends to issue new rules next week aimed at protecting future home buyers from scandalous lending practices. The media has proclaimed the new rules are the most sweeping response to a housing crisis that has propelled foreclosures to record highs. Considering what is happening to American home buyers, this might considered to be true. The most sweeping response has been the bailout of Wall Street beginning with Bear Stearns in this writer's humble opinion.
The fact is that there are plenty of regulations. Regulations did not stop bankers from breaking the law with predatory loans, nor stopped investors from (more…)

Harrison and Bosse
bruno_LA replied to Evansville50's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumCurrent North coach is 6-14 in 2 years. Jury is still out.
For teams that haven't been there for awhile, the experience is to familiarize teenage boys to the venue where they are going to play the biggest game of their lives. It's also a bonding experience and one you'll never forget. Also helps the coaches and equipment staff plan for logistics. A valuable and worthwhile experience in my opinion.
The key matchup in this game is Memorial's def front vs EN offensive line. EN's offensive line is much larger, but Memorial's front 4 has overwhelmed nearly every team they have faced. Comb's speed and power can't be fully appreciated until you see him live. The EN QB will be the best Memorial has faced all year. Central had some outstanding receivers, but they were 5'6. These EN receivers are 6'6 and 6'4. Both teams boast diverse spread offenses. EN is a better run team, but Memorial is a better screen and gimmick play team. Going to be a great game!
MV will have to avoid turnovers ( unlike Mooresville) and complete some long passes on offense. Marauders have overall good team quickness and play pretty solid in the secondary. MV is very vulnerable to Memorial screen game because they bring LB's on a regular basis. No team is more effective than the Tigers with the screen game. The Tigers will need to run the ball in the November conditions, and will call on Combs to do so.
Poor weather and playing conditions normally favor the underdog. Helps level the playing field. But for MV it will make it even more difficult to score vs the Tigers defense.
Mt. Vernon matches up fairly well with Memorial. The Marauders kicking game is much better than Mooresville's, and they don't turn the ball over as much. Memorial will face an option attack with a pretty good runner at QB. The Tigers haven't seen much option football with a running QB this year. MV's sophomore QB throws a good deep ball and their receivers are adept at catching the deep ball. The Tigers defensive front will be difficult for MV's offensive line to handle. Combs will disrupt the MV offense and cause some turnovers. The Marauders will have to score 24 points to win, and that will be very difficult. MV is very young and it's best days lie ahead.
Mooresville is pretty physical with a pretty good offensive line and one outstanding receiver. They are sloppy at times and tend to turn the ball over. Their kicking game is average and they have lost their top running back. Memorial is smoother overall and can do more offensively. Combs will again be the best player on the field. Mooresville will have to ground and pound to win. Look for a 21-17 game.
What happened to all the Reitz Panther posters that have overwhelmed this site over the years? Do they still attend games or have they abandoned ship?
SIAC Week 5
bruno_LA replied to TigerFan20's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumTypical referee's sense of humor. I believe the original poster was simply implying that he doubted the authenticity of the rumor.
bruno_LA replied to TigerFan20's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumNorth 35-34 Reitz 28-21 Mater Dei 31-28 Casrle 48-7
S.I.A.C. Week 3
bruno_LA replied to Evansville50's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumNorth's Dylan McKinney is the most dynamic break-away threat in the SIAC in years. The number of long TD's he has scored in the first three games is incredible.
SIAC Week 2
bruno_LA replied to TigerFan20's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumNorth will give Henderson all they want
SIAC Week 1
bruno_LA replied to TigerFan20's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumLine coaches find the end zone camera beneficial to grade their players. In my opinion the side view gives a better look at the scheme and big picture.
bruno_LA replied to Evansville50's topic in The Indiana High School Football ForumSounds like one Panther fan has not adjusted well to the new norm of Central kicking Panther butt. Seems you are taking out frustrations by demeaning the entire program because of your perceived dislike for a couple of well-traveled teenagers who have had a difficult life. Only one team in Evansville boasts a better record over the past 3 seasons than the Central bears. A lot of good coaches and players should have earned respect for that.

I imagine she liked the fact that I was 'man enough' to take what I wanted. It worked out well. Who knows. I kinda have a similar problem....especially since I am online dating. When it was time for me to go, I just grabbed the back of her head softly and went in for the kiss. I have been with one girl 4 times now. NO kissing, touching, anything the whole night. I was at her house saturday night, we watched tv, hungout, whatever. i feel very disconnected from the people I go out with once or twice. I dont know them hardly at all and have a hard time going in for the kiss after knowing someone for 4 hours total. It wasnt a big kiss, but enough to show her I'm interested.added by Tarrier for Marker on 31.01.2020 in 11:31
Not going to work for everyone. So many places you can go today? Have you ever been married, seen anyone until now? Church doesn't tell you the truth. I would never ask someone out from Church. Or you happy person or sad person? As for your problem I don't see why you can't jump into your SUV, Car, Truck, Mini-Van whatever you drive in and go to the next state spend some quality time and you might run into a man any place. What do you like to do for fun? But that's other story. Church is not a place to have a relationship type of date or man. I don't go to Church that's my business what I don't go. After having NDE = Near Death Experience I see what's going on already how it suppose to be. You shouldn't have problem with men, Too bad when I drove through Ohio last mouth I would have said hi.. Are you more shy around people or you open minded? But anyway where ever you are get away from their and take a nice trip next state ID or PA.added by Tape for Marker on 29.01.2020 in 21:36

"I'm trying to find the diva in her," says Keri Alkema, one of the two sopranos who will share the title role. "Nowadays, it's been beaten into me: Don't be a diva. All of a sudden, I'm told I get to unleash her. That's a little scary. Do I want to let her out?"
"Tosca" is the story of a soprano who's in love with a painter named Cavaradossi in 19th-century Rome, a city ruled by the evil Baron Scarpia. Scarpia arrests Cavaradossi and offers Tosca a trade — her sexual favors for her lover's life — but Tosca manages to kill Scarpia before his desire is consummated.
The piece is eminently theatrical. Gone, by Puccini's day, were the conventions of Italian bel canto opera, with its arias (slower songs) followed by cabalettas (faster ones). Puccini's music, written in the style known as verismo (realistic), is more fluid and through-composed, though it certainly pauses for big moments, such as Scarpia's blasphemous "Te Deum" in the first act ("Tosca, you make me forget God!" he sings) and Cavaradossi's anguished memories of Tosca, "E lucevan le stelle" (the stars were shining), as he awaits execution in Act III.
"Puccini is such a theater man," says Speranza Scappucci, the Italian conductor who leads this production. "Nothing, nothing in the score is left to chance." She adds: "The risk with Puccini is that we get very Romantic and gooey in the beautiful melodies. You don't have to add sugar; it's there." In other words: Rather than wallowing in the lovely music when you sing or play it, "everything that is action, that is dialogue, needs an urgency," she says, to communicate the drama.
Tosca's signature moment, and the audience's favorite, is the aria "Vissi d'arte," the singer's heartfelt plea to God as she and Scarpia prepare for their final confrontation. Inconveniently for the soprano, the aria, which requires pinpoint control and a lot of floating pianissimo singing, comes at the end of an impassioned scene with Scarpia that involves a lot of yelling. "You're hyperventilating; he's just attacked me," says Alkema. "Right before 'Vissi d'arte,' there's about eight measures" in which the military drums are heard outside. "That's the moment to calm down, get the breath underneath you."
"To get your heart rate down is damn near impossible," says Latonia Moore, who is making her company debut as the other Tosca. "It's about letting your body go all the way down to almost nothingness. A lot of people [ask], how could he put an aria like this in the middle of everything when you're so exhausted. [But] that's the point. That's the feeling you have to give the audience: You're so exhausted you can't sing any more."
Moore and Alkema are coming at Tosca from different directions — though both singers, notably, started their careers as mezzo-sopranos. (Alkema was in WNO's inaugural group of Domingo-Cafritz young artists.) When she started trying out Puccini, Alkema wondered if her voice would be big enough to carry over the orchestra; Moore, by contrast, frequently sings the heavier role of Verdi's Aida (though she points out that in contrast to some of Aida's quieter passages, "Tosca is full throttle all the time.")
For Moore, who has done the role of Tosca only twice before, the biggest concern about the part are its high Cs — six of them, most in the dramatic second act. "I'm not going to lie," she says, "they scare me. People are waiting for those high Cs, and I'm crossing my fingers and praying to God."
High Cs are a benchmark for everyone and come easier to some singers than to others. Alkema noticed that an acting tip from the production's director, Ethan McSweeny, applied to singing as well. "The director was explaining to us that if an acting moment doesn't work, it's never that specific moment" that's the problem, she says. By the same token, "It's not the high C that didn't work; it's everything leading up to it. You have to go back four or eight measures [to work out] what went wrong. I can pop out a high C right now, but it won't go the same way if I ride up with an orchestra."
"Tosca" isn't a heavy sing for every singer. Alan Held, who sings Scarpia in this production, is a specialist in Wagner and Strauss (he sang Wotan in WNO's "Ring" cycle in 2016). "What gets me is how short this opera is," he says; the whole thing is shorter than a single act of some Wagner operas.
Yet Puccini's style can be more difficult. "Wagner makes absolute sense," Held says. "One thing is connected to the next, to the next, to the next. With Puccini, you have to jerk into another mind-set, vocally, from one minute to the next," particularly in Act II, with all of its changes of mood and interruptions. Scarpia, like Tosca, has an aria that comes after all the loud singing, but it's so short that many fans don't even realize it's there. "I don't know anybody who brings that out for an audition," Held says. "It's not a showstopper."
"Tosca's" tricky rhythms and changing tempos challenge everyone — even in the orchestra pit. "Puccini's always challenging," Scappucci says, "because he changes meter and tempo in every bar. And if you try to be literal about it, it becomes very mechanical" — sounding like someone counting, rather than conveying the inner sense of the music.
Before getting to Washington, Scappucci spent hours poring over the score, looking not only at the notes but at the composer's written indications in the margins of how the music is supposed to be played or sung. At one point in Act II, Scarpia is torturing Cavaradossi to find out where the political prisoner Angelotti is hiding, and Tosca, unable to bear it, reveals the hiding place. "Our Tosca was taking a lot of time to say, Nel pozzo del giardino [in the well in the garden]," Scappucci says. "But Puccini writes, 'A tempo, con voce soffocata, rapidamente [in tempo, in a suffocated voice, rapidly].' " To demonstrate, Scappucci sings the orchestral chords leading up to the line, now infusing them with urgency, and then half-whispers Tosca's line. "She doesn't really want him [Cavaradossi] to hear it in the other room," she points out. "It comes out of her without her even wanting to say it."
Small details like this can help a whole scene come into focus. At the very end of the opera, Tosca, having witnessed Cavaradossi's death, throws herself off the parapet of the Castel Sant'Angelo, while the orchestra plays the theme of "E lucevan le stelle," traditionally slowing it down to linger over the tragedy. Yet the score marking is "con slancio," meaning with a dash, leap, surge. "Figuratively, it's her jump," Scappucci says; so she plays it quickly and then slows down for the end, the landing.
Musicians in an opera orchestra have an odd experience of the work. They're in the pit pouring their hearts out but often unable to see what happens on the stage. That's why Karen Lowry-Tucker, a first violinist with the Washington National Opera Orchestra, goes to the Metropolitan Opera when she can. "Since I'm first violinist," she says, "I'm along the wall [of the orchestra pit, and] I can see more than most. But it's also a distraction," she adds, "when you get too involved with the stage."
Trained as an orchestral musician, Lowry-Tucker has had to adjust to an opera career — not least in that the performances are longer. "To me, opera is more challenging," she says. "Not only do you have to learn your notes before you get to rehearsal but when you get there it's not the way it was on the page. Andante [a moderate tempo] can turn to adagio [a slower one] if the singer wants. I have to depend so much more on a conductor in opera."
"But I just love it," she says, speaking of opera in general and of "Tosca" in particular. Of this opera, she says, "If you don't love it, there's something wrong with your heart."
Tosca May 11-25 at the Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW. 202-467-4600. kennedy-center.org/wno.

I spent one high-school summer pushing soft-serve at a local TCBY. The yogurt came in frozen-wastepaper basket-sized bags that needed a hot-water bath to thaw into lukewarm liquid before they could be loaded into the machines. If we poured the bags in too early, chunks of dairy ice would clog the pipeline and make the dispensers seize up until we removed them by hand. I'd close my eyes, roll up my sleeve and gently plunge my arm into the yogurt vat up past my elbow to dredge for the low-calorie culprit, and would come up for air covered in the flavor of the week. We never washed our hands first.

I worked for the borough of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I did park maintenance and I was responsible for cleaning every manner of filth that found its way onto park property. A list of some of the things I picked up that summer:
Dog shit
Dead squirrel
Dead cat
Two hypodermic needles
Leftovers of a bum party—empty cheap alcohol bottles and puke
—Tony Francavilla (COL '10), dictated to Sam Sweeney (COL '10)
I used to play poker with the guys in my dorm in high school. One night there were just two of us left—me and a kid two years younger than me who looked five years younger than that. 10 or so other guys sat around the oval table, watching the two of us face off. I played the last hand fast and loose, tossing in stack after stack of chips, sure that he would fold. He looked scared, but kept matching my bets. When the betting ended, he flipped his cards over and stared at my face for some reaction. He had me beat, but I just shook my head at him. He didn't even bother to look at my cards. I took the chips.
—Sam Sweeney (COL '10)
Freshman year, thanks to clever marketing on behalf of Victoria's Secret—remember those IPEX commercials?—I became convinced that all my worldly troubles were the result of wearing a bra and underwear that didn't match. A job at Victoria's Secret seemed like the obvious solution: a discount plus the chance to buy the new stuff before anyone else. After exactly 20 minutes on the job, it dawned on me why no one else wanted to the work there: lingerie stores are like perv cesspools. Old men who want you to try things on for them, middle-age couples eager to get it on in the fitting room (why do you think they made that one-customer-at-a-time rule?) and sugar daddies buying the exact same crotchless panties in three different sizes—one for each girlfriend. I needed the money, so I stuck around for nearly three months—just long enough to buy the sluttiest Halloween costume ever.
—Sarah Harman (COL '09)
In the spring of my freshman year, I learned of an overlooked detail in the Marriott meal plan system. At that time, we could downsize our plans right up to the week before spring break, marking the mid-semester divide. In downsizing, savvy students could recover the difference in cost between large and small meal plans, leaving them with fewer meals, but only half the semester left to consume them in.
When I walked in on a Friday afternoon to do just that, I could already hear the romanticized sounds of samba that I expected to find when I disembarked from the plane in Brazil. With the hefty check of $1,000 that I received from the downsize, I spent a month in Bahia, Brazil taking Portuguese classes and living with a family. For the rest of the semester, I subsisted quite well on the 75 meals that I had gotten in exchange.

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here's the sign-up.)
Good morning.
Here's what you need to know:
• The firm behind the Panama Papers.
When they want to set up tax havens and shell companies, many in the world's elite turn to Mossack Fonseca. As revelations of the law firm's highly secretive work are laid bare, we look at its two founders:one is the son of a former Nazi, the other a novelist.
Relatives of President Xi Jinping and other high-ranking Chinese officials have been named in the documents. Here's an explainer on the Panama Papers, with the latest updates on the fallout.
• Front-runners hope to rebound.
Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump are waging vigorous campaigns in New York, the next big prize in the presidential race (apologies to Wyoming Democrats and Colorado Republicans). Mr. Trump and his main rival, Senator Ted Cruz, traded insults at separate events in the New York City area on Wednesday.
As for Mrs. Clinton, she's hoping her strategy of aggressively courting upstate voters during her run for the Senate in 2000 will work again, this time to slow the momentum of Senator Bernie Sanders, who has defeated Mrs. Clinton in six of the last seven contests.
• Obama stumps for his nominee.
President Obama is returning to the University of Chicago, where he taught law, to make a case for his Supreme Court nominee, Merrick B. Garland. The talk is aimed at putting pressure on Senate Republicans who have refused to consider Judge Garland's nomination.
• Arming militants through social media.
Machine guns, grenade launchers and heat-seeking missiles, weapons coveted by terrorists, are available from groups hosting online arms bazaars on Facebook, a New York Times analysis finds.
These markets, which also offer trafficking services to would-be refugees, have been appearing in regions where Islamic State militants have a strong presence.
• Life-changing operations.
A long-running program offering separation surgery for conjoined twins from poor families around the world has been quietly run by the Saudi government, with individual cases approved by King Salman. According to its head surgeon, all but four of the program's 74 patients are still alive.
Our reporter and photographer recently witnessed the successful separation of Pakistani sisters.
• Speech on campus.
Is free speech alive and well at American universities? It depends whom you ask. While a majority of students say they don't believe that their First Amendment rights are under attack, black students are far less likely to share that sentiment, according to a new poll.
• Donald L. Blankenship, a former executive at the Massey Energy Company, was sentenced to a year in prison over a 2010 explosion that killed 29 men, the worst American coal mine accident in decades.
• Are you a computer expert in need of work? The Department of Homeland Security is hiring, but it is having trouble attracting recruits to join its efforts against the growing threat of cyberattacks.
• Reddit, the online message board seen as a wonderland for free speech and a breeding ground for Internet trolls, is enhancing anti-harassment measures with a new blocking feature.
• Here are snapshots of the U.S. and global markets.
• Pope Francis' major announcement.
The pope is expected to release a document on Friday that could alter the Roman Catholic Church's views of remarriage and same-sex relationships. Here's what else is at stake.
• It's nice to have choices.
Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna of Long Island was accepted to all eight Ivy League universities, and 12 colleges in total. She has only a few more weeks to decide.
• Stumbling Warriors.
Sloppy play has imperiled Golden State's quest to break the record for most wins in a season — the Warriors must win their last four games to reach 73 victories and eclipse the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
• "American Idol" says farewell.
The TV singing contest will end its 15th and final season tonight, and our music critic says it should be remembered for "how it set the table for the online fan communities that are now the norm." Here are highlights from the show's long run.
• Meet the "Snap Pack."
Taking photos and videos isn't just a way to immortalize a night out, it's the main event for one young clique of New Yorkers.
• In memoriam.
Merle Haggard, country music's outlaw hero, whose voice was tinged with dignity and regret, died at 79. Here's his 1968 hit "Today I Started Loving You Again."
• Our recipes of the day.
Try our recipe for pan-fried flounder — it's difficult to beat this fast, easy method. And salade Lyonnaise isn't the simplest salad ever made, but it approaches perfection in a way others do not.
Back Story
Eleanora Fagan was born 101 years ago today, in Philadelphia, to a 17-year-old father and a 19-year-old mother.
Or was it in Baltimore, to a 15-year-old father and a 13-year-old mother?
The stories told about the jazz singer we know as Billie Holiday are rife with contradictions, exaggerations and mysteries. Many stem directly from her 1956 autobiography, "Lady Sings the Blues," which historians say is riddled with untruths.
(John Szwed, a Holiday scholar, says the Philadelphia account is the right one.)
More than 50 years after her death at age 44 from drug and alcohol-related liver and heart disease, Holiday remains an object of intense interest. More than 40 books have been written about her.
Her voice is another unsolved riddle. Mr. Szwed, in his book "Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth," describes her style as elusive and says attempts to transcribe her recordings into sheet music have been woefully inadequate.
Later, he quotes Holiday herself, again throwing admirers off her trail:
"This voice of mine is a mess," she says. "A cat got to know what he's doing when he plays with me."
Jonah Bromwich contributed reporting.

There is no denying that technology has changed the way lawyers work and firms operate. Every law firm's culture has expanded and grown. The business of law today is more complex and competitive than ever, and it will only continue to evolve as new vendors come into the picture, pricing structures change, and client expectations shift.
So as a firm what can you do to thrive in the constantly evolving culture? These six tips are sure to help your law firm thrive!
1. Automate what you can
As a culture, people are reliant on technology and getting results and answers quickly. Not only in the legal realm but in day to day tasks as well. Clients also demand more transparent view of their legal matters and billings and how they are managed. With so many new technologies and advancements there is the opportunity to automate some of the mundane tasks not only saving time and money, but also keeping your employees and clients happy with quick answers and results!
2. Upgrade to the cloud
With cloud solutions firms get the benefit of cutting edge technology, a security team already in place and quick scaling without additional infrastructure costs. Cloud solutions allow your firm to be more agile, flexible and adaptable, which is exactly what you need to deliver what your clients are demanding. Read more on the legal tech forecast and cloud technology in this article.
3. Dig into your data
The data is already there, using it to analyze and provide insight to not only your firm but your clients is huge. Collect, measure, and analyze your firms data and metrics around client's matters and legal spending as well as your firm's overall efficiency and performance. Look for trends, create opportunities, and share with your client those business insights. With both parties equipped with this information, your client and your firm are well positioned to demonstrate their value. Tomorrow's data-driven law firm will have the opportunity to benefit from all of these technologies. Contrarily, the law firm without access to these technologies will be at a significant competitive disadvantage. How can your firm leverage data-driven decision making? This blog post gives you 5 sound tips!
4. Integrate platforms
If you have not integrated your legal technology, you are leaving value on the table. No single piece of technology is able to serve every problem, and probably never will. As a result your firm probably uses a variety of systems: document management, productivity, business intelligence, time and billing, CRM all on a day-to-day basis. The challenge arises when you have more than one version of the truth and your data becomes scattered throughout your technology stack, reducing productivity and transparency.
5. Communicate with data visualization
Most law firms are in some capacity embracing the power of data and taking steps to capture their key information and metrics, but understanding what all of it means can be a bit more challenging. Having data visualization allows you to quickly communicate key insights with colorful, engaging charts and graphs. It shows the big picture and also allows you to drill down to offer more information instantly.
This excerpt from our blog post, Why we love dashboards and reporting (and you should too), gives some great examples of why law firms should be communicating with data visualization tools like BI. "With dashboards and reports you now have an easy-to-access summary of all information you need to view the overall health of your firm. We have seen firsthand the benefits our clients have gained with BI dashboards and reports. From improving decision making, to optimizing internal processes, and increasing efficiency the advantages are endless."
6. Remember the relationship
While technology is a great tool to help us in day to day tasks, don't just rely on technology, build human relationships. Without trust, understanding and open communication, adopting new technology in your firm is more than likely going to fail. Focus on the people who's problems you are trying to either solve, both lawyers and clients! Ask yourself some of the big picture questions: What are the biggest challenges? How can our firm act to better understand and support goals? Is technology the answer? Once you find the answers to those questions, then you can begin to seek out solutions with both parties in mind!

Aren´t many property dualists in some sense also 'emergent materialists'? They say that the non-physical properties 'emerged' from physical processes in the course of evolution.

The other possibility is some kind of panpsychism, such as Strawson, Nagel and Chalmers have firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10584495.post-72239988538245484722011-11-21T03:44:51.636-07:002011-11-21T03:44:51.636-07:00This is the most fatal objection to typical proper...This is the most fatal objection to typical property dualism imho (together with the argument from multiple realizability). Chalmers admits in his book 'The Concious Mind' that the property dualistic view that he is arguing for appears to be one of epiphenomenalism but tries to salvage it by arguing that we do not really understand causality so it might turn out ok in the end after all.

If property dualism is indeed epiphenomenalistic (the physical is causally closed) then talking about pain will have nothing to do with the experience of pain since the experience cannot make any changes in the sounds used for talking.

Even worse, on epiphenomenalism the experience of pain could not have evolved since evolution can only select for that which can cause changes in fitness, the epiphenomenal cannot do this so it is then, on evolution, a random event that just happen to come at some events.

So, on this view, we are left with the entirety of the human conscious experience being a product of something other then evolution. This might strike some naturalists as a bit of a high price to pay.

Ah well, at least the property dualists have the balls to propose something, unlike the emergent materialists who refuse to define what the words emergent and material even mean.Heuristicshttps://email@example.com

Clinical question:
What is the most effective treatment for chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM)?
Bottom line:
Topical quinolone antibiotics are better than systemic antibiotics for clearing discharge at up to 2 weeks in adults and children with CSOM. There is no benefit from combining systemic and topical treatments. The results are less clear for topical non-quinolone antibiotics (without steroids) or antiseptic when compared with systemic quinolone or non-quinolone antibiotics. Compared with topical quinolines, topical chloramphenicol plus systemic non-quinolones increases the risk of ototoxicity and hearing loss (NNH* 2–5). * NNH = number needed to treat to cause harm in one individual.
The outcome measured here is reduction in ear discharge. Little is known about longer term outcomes such as persisting dry ear, preventing complications, healing the eardrum and improved hearing.
CSOM is a common cause of preventable hearing impairment, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Aural toilet was usually only done once before starting treatment.

A healthy lifestyle is your priority, protecting it is ours.
Insurance is not something most of us like to think about, but would your family be able to cope financially if something were to happen to you? Do you have enough saved to pay the mortgage, your children's school fees as well as your family's ongoing living expenses?
If you're like most Australians, the answer to this will probably be 'no'.
Priority Protection Express offers a range of affordable life insurance covers, so you'll have the peace of mind knowing that your family will be looked after the way you want them to be – and that's the best feeling in the world.
The right level of insurance cover is different for everyone and will depend on your individual circumstances. Factors you should consider when determining the amount you may need include whether you're single or have a family, your outstanding debts and the cost of your ongoing living expenses like your mortgage repayments.
If you're still not sure how much cover you need the online insurance calculator may help you work it out.
If you are a member of an Australian superannuation fund you may already have some life insurance cover within your super.
However, your superannuation plan may only provide a fraction of the life insurance you actually need and it's important to find out what type of insurance you already have by either talking to your super fund or your employer. Then you'll know where you stand, and whether you need to top up your cover.
Depending on the product you choose, your premium will be based on the type and level of cover you select along with other factors such as your age, gender, occupation category, heath, medical history and smoking status.
Premiums also include any applicable government charges such as stamp duty and taxes.
No, you don't need to have any medical examinations or blood tests to take out Priority Protection Express. However, you will be asked some questions about your health and medical history when you apply.
Yes your Priority Protection Express covers you 24/7 anywhere in the world.
Please note: At application stage if you are travelling to countries that are subject to Australian Government travel warnings (as listed on the www.dfat.gov.au website), then your application for cover will not be accepted.
Yes, anyone eligible can apply for individual cover.
No, unfortunately not. Your partner will need to answer the application questions themselves.
Yes, each policy is separate so you can choose a level of cover that suits your own unique situation.
To make it easy you have the option of paying your monthly premium either by credit card or direct debit – allowing you to just 'set and forget'.
If you're 35 years or older at the time of your policy renewal, you may choose to pay the same premium amount you paid in the previous policy year – this is known as a premium freeze.
To activate the premium freeze option, please contact AIA Australia in writing 30 days prior to your policy renewal and your policy and sum insured will be adjusted.
Please note: If you elect to freeze premiums, your sum insured will reduce on each policy anniversary date. This may not suit your insurance needs. The feature is not available for the Income Protection Plan.
If you need to make a claim, you should contact AIA Australia . You can do this by either:
1. Calling AIA Australia on 1800 333 613; or by
2. Writing to AIA Australia:
Claims Department
Priority Protection Express
PO Box 6111
To process your claim, additional information such as medical documents or income documentation may be required, which you will need to provide at your own cost. Once AIA Australia has received all relevant information and the claim has been approved, your benefit will be paid.
It's really important to keep your insurance premiums up-to-date. If you don't pay your premiums within 60 days of the due date, your policy will lapse and you won't be covered.
If you change your address or if there's any other change which may require an alteration to your insurance policy, simply call AIA Australia's Customer Service Team on 1800 333 613 to update your details.
Your policy is issued by AIA Australia. If you have a query about your existing Priority Protection Express policy please contact AIA Australia on 1800 333 613 (international callers use +61 3 9009 4000) 8am to 7pm AEST or email email@example.com.

Bonner thrilled with England opportunity
Two years ago, Nkrumah Bonner could not even make the Jamaica senior men's cricket team. Fast-forward to the present, and the right-handed batsman is among the 25 players that will be travelling to England for the West Indies' three-Test tour starting in July.
The 31-year-old Bonner described his selection as a proud moment for himself and his family, adding that the call-up was something he has dreamt of all his life.
"The feeling to know that I am in the West Indies Test squad is highly emotional, but I am ready for it and if I should make my debut, it will be a very proud moment because two years ago I was struggling to make the Jamaica team, and to know that I am one of the eight batsmen in (the squad from) the Caribbean, that is a good feeling and I am eager to show my talent," Bonner told The Gleaner.
Bonner's prolific season with the bat in the 2020 West Indies Championship did not go unnoticed, as his 523 runs in seven matches ensured he punched his ticket as one of the batsmen on tour.
This will be Bonner's second trip with the West Indies team to the UK, having made his T20 debut back in 2011 at the Oval.
"As a cricketer, you have to go in different conditions to prove your worth. England is one of the toughest places to make your international debut, but it is also one of the places that can make you, so I am looking forward to the challenge to face the skilled England bowlers, and all I can do is stick to the basics and work on my mental and tactical game," Bonner added.

Brownstein Client Alert, March 16, 2020
Earlier today, lawmakers introduced a set of technical corrections to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R.6201), which passed the House early Saturday morning.
The House previously intended to approve the measure by unanimous consent. However, this may no longer be possible. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has indicated that he plans to block the technical corrections bill. This will delay passage of the bill.
Once the House approves the bill, it will move to the Senate for consideration. A number of Republican senators have objected to the original House-approved bill. It is unclear as to whether the latest round of technical corrections have addressed their concerns. If the Senate amends the legislation, it will necessarily head back to the House, further delaying passage.
Earlier this afternoon, during a coronavirus task force meeting, President Trump said the administration is thinking of "expanding" the 500-worker limit for mandatory paid sick leave through the Senate process. He said, "We want fairness. We want it for everybody" and "we may very well be adding something on that."
The technical corrections package can be found here.
For additional information or assistance with a particular issue, please contact a member of the Brownstein Tax Policy Group.

Video of the day
October 8, 2012 Leave a comment
Listened to a very cool Radiolab recently about the physics of a falling slinky.
The last week, I came across an Atlantic page on the same cool topic. I like's it's embedded video better:
And some explanation:
In the video below [I didn't embed], physicist Rod Crossexplains that the tension of the spring counters the pull of gravity ("equal and opposite forces"), holding the bottom end of the Slinky in place until it "gets the information that the tension has changed." By the time the bottom end of the Slinky gets the memo, the top end has fallen to meet it. What's true for Slinkies is also true in sports, including tennis rackets, according to Cross. Your hand doesn't feel the impact of a tennis racquet hitting a ball until the ball "is well on its way."


text: mardian24 46 / 75 Nov 30, 2016 #1Some people think that hard work and determination are the keys to success in life. Some, on the other hand, think that there are other factors behind a successful life. Give your opinionThese days, the majority of people believe that hard-working and determination are the way to be a successful person. Meanwhile, a number of aspects are able to make people success. However, as far as I am concerned, those two things and other categories will bring people to have bright future. This essay will first discuss about spirit to have better life and making final target as the key of success and then talk about permit and support from parents to make dreams coming true.To begin with, everyone can gain a success if they want to give all efforts that they have and have full of spirit which will push people beyond their limitation. After that, with strong determination every obstacle that comes to people's life will extremely be easier to face, and determine what our target able to boost motivation in life is. According to the story of Muhammad Ali, world boxing champions, he had tremendously power to fight their opponent even though he got various injured in his body. It is my firm belief that if there is a will, there is a way, and I am utterly sure that people able to prove it in their entire life.On the other hand, other factors can be considered to reach the top of inhabitants' life. Firstly, without permit and support from parents everything is impossible due to the fact that they are the nearest members and know anything in people's life. Also, by having purpose to help other people after being success will make the steps simpler. For instance, when I faced final exam in my university, I asked my family to give all support to me and finally I could pass it perfectly. In my opinion, people will help us to be success if we help other people as well. So, do the best for us and for everyone.To sum up, I believe that hard-working and great determination will bring us to get our dream and support from family gives essential power to keep going for being successful person.
