Work is chaotic. That's all I'll say about that for now. Yesterday, Colin's car got rear-ended. Lovely. I'll have to post a picture of that later when he's home.
Now to the real stuff – the good stuff. Chanel clause has been visiting me a lot in the past month and a half so I thought I'd share a few of my favorite things – and a few things that had to go back (always breaks my heart!).
First, the not-so-favorite thing that I returned pretty much in a heartbeat was the new nail polish Tendresse. It's basically a clear color. Definitely not worth that price tag. So it's headed back. I have to say the newest collection (Les Aquarelles de Chanel) was pretty disappointing and I wish I saw more of it in person before ordering. I'm not 100% sure on the
A few of my favorites include the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, the Sheer Illuminating Fluid & the Illusion D'Ombre eye shadows. I even convinced Jordan's girlfriend to pick one up. They are quite amazing I think.
One of the most ridiculous things I bought, but I'm totally in love with is the deodorant. Seriously. I was out of mine and sitting on the couch putting in an order when I saw it and couldn't resist. You know what? I'm ADDICTED. I've never used a spray before and this one is quite amazing. It smells good and lasts all day. I'm pretty impressed and even considering getting a back-up as it's limited edition… however, rumor has it that there is also a Coco Mademoiselle scented version and I really would love that!

Kidney Disease Lawsuit Filed Over Side Effects of Nexium, Prilosec
Contact A Lawyer
Have A Potential Case Reviewed By An Attorney
According to allegations raised in a recent product liability lawsuit, side effects of Nexium and Prilosec caused a New Jersey woman to develop chronic kidney disease, which eventually led to the need for dialysis treatment.
The complaint (PDF) was filed by Paulette Muse last week in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, indicating that AstraZeneca knew or should have known about the kidney risks associated with their blockbuster heartburn drugs, yet failed to warn consumer or doctors.
Nexium and Prilosec are two of the most widely used brand-name medications in the U.S., which are both manufactured by AstraZeneca and part of a larger class of acid reflux drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which also includes Prevacid, Protonix, Dexilant and others.
Muse indicates that she was prescribed Nexium and Prilosec on a number of occasions starting in 2004, and used the medications until last year, when she became aware that they could be linked to her kidney problems. However, by that point she had already been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which resulted in end stage renal disease and the need for dialysis.
The case joins dozens of other Nexium lawsuits, Prilosec lawsuits, Protonix lawsuits, Prevacid lawsuits and Dexilant lawsuits brought by individuals nationwide in recent months, claiming that the drug makers withheld information about the risks associated with long-term use of the medications.
"During the period in which Prilosec and Nexium have been sold in the United States, hundreds of reports of injury have been submitted to the FDA regarding the ingestion of Prilosec and Nexium and other PPIs," according to the complaint. "Defendants have had notice of serious adverse health outcomes through case reports, clinical studies and post-market surveillance. Specifically, Defendants have received numerous case reports of several types of kidney injuries in patients who ingested Prilosec and/or Nexium, including: Acute Interstitial Nephritis (AIN); Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD); Renal/Kidney Failure; and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)."
Rather than warning doctors and informing consumers about the side effects, Muse indicates that AstraZeneca continued to represent that Prilosec and Nexium do not pose any risk of of kidney problems.
Nexium and Prilosec Kidney Failure
Since Nexium, Prilosec and other PPI drugs have lacked kidney warnings for years, they are widely believed to be safe by most consumers and doctors, and many individuals remain on the medications for years with little attempt to reduce use. However, a number of studies published in recent years have highlighted serious risks associated with use of the medications.
In an independent study published by the medical journal CMAJ Open in April 2015, researchers found that users of PPI medications were 3 times more likely to suffer acute interstitial nephritis, which involves inflammation of the kidney. In addition, the study found that users were 2.5 times more likely to develop acute kidney injury, which involves an abrupt loss of kidney function.
This research was followed by a study published last year in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine, which also found an increased risk of chronic kidney disease with the heartburn medications, indicating that users of Nexium, Prilosec and other PPI may be 50% more likely when compared to non-users.
In April 2016, researchers with the Department of Veterans Affairs found that users of Nexium, Prilosec or other PPIs may be 96% more likely to develop renal failure and 28% more likely to develop chronic kidney disease after five years of use.
In February, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation rejected a request to consolidate all federal proton pump inhibitor kidney damage lawsuits before one judge for pretrial proceedings, saying that the drugs were too dissimilar, and also direct competitors. Therefore, the complaint filed by Muse, as well as other cases filed in U.S. District Courts nationwide, are moving forward as individual claims, without coordinated discovery.
As heartburn drug injury lawyers continue to review and file cases, it is expected that thousands of similar chronic kidney disease lawsuits and other claims over side effects of PPI medications could be filed in the coming months.

Scripture declares, "For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; the upright will behold His face" (Ps. 11:7), and "Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments" (Ps. 119:137).

Christ to the Cross – Steven R. Cook
I and the Father led Christ to the cross,
Together we placed Him there;
I pushed Him forward, no care for the cost,
His Father's wrath to bear.
Christ in the middle not wanting to die,
Knelt in the garden and prayed;
Great tears of blood the Savior did cry,
Yet His Father He humbly obeyed. Continue reading

Lara was in town to host Demystifying Management at Webstock 2019 — a full-day workshop helping participants navigate the uncertain waters of management. We jumped at the opportunity to have Lara come to Springload, and grill her with our burning questions about management in the tech industry. Here are some of the highlights.
One of the sticking points of our recent merger was around physical space — it was difficult to fit everyone in and there was a lot of desk shifting. Not everyone can be happy, so how can this be managed?
Desk moves have actually caused the most strife in my management career — which is surprising. The issue touches on every single one of the six core needs humans have at work. These were defined by Paloma Medina's BICEPS model as:
- Belonging
- Improvement/process
- Choice
- Equality/fairness
- Predictability
- Status
When any of these needs are threatened, we go into fight or flight mode. You'd think it's one of those rational or logical moments, but in fact we are neither rational nor logical when we need to find out where our desks are located.
If you see someone else getting upset, and it feels like it shouldn't be a big deal — probably at least one of these core needs is threatened. So it's helpful to understand these six core needs, and that one or more could be going on for us.
Lara has written about the BICEPS model and why desk moves can draw up strong emotions.
At Springload there's been a lot of discussion around maintaining the culture. But as we know, when businesses grow they can become more siloed and 'corporate'. What's your experience with this, and how would you navigate it?
I think trying to keep things the same as a company grows is always going to end in failure.
One thing we talked a bit about in yesterday's workshop is the four stages of team dynamics that every team goes through whenever there's a change: forming, storming, norming, and performing.
For teams to reach performing, you cannot skip any of the preceding steps. And any time someone or something changes — mission, manager, or company size — it resets to the forming stage again. There's no way to avoid it. This is something you have to get used to, as trying to stay in the performing stage will eventually become fragile.
I find it's helpful when leaders acknowledge 'this is the stage we're in, and this is what we need to do to move through to the next stages', because it helps maintain a sense of predictability (the 'P' in BICEPS).
Is it okay to have values that potentially conflict with each other? For example, if one is pragmatism and the other is quality — depending on your definitions — these could clash.
A cool thing that I've seen work really well is to use examples of when we choose one value over another. For example, having an 'even over' statement: 'pragmatism, even over quality'.
I would also take a look at how people are recognised and rewarded. Not just monetarily or with a job-title, but who's getting a shout out in a company meeting. Stuff like this tends to signal both what the cultural currency is, and which of those values are valued higher than others.
If the only people getting shout-outs are people who have been extremely pragmatic at the expense of quality – that tells you something about how the values are being lived. You're recognising and rewarding one value over the other.
How do you invigorate meetings that are a bit stale or boring?
First of all, I love meetings. Which is a bit of a strange thing to say.
I set a six-month reminder to check in on meetings, and ask, 'okay, does anything about this need to change?'. I don't think meetings should be set to recur indefinitely, it should be more of a three-to-six month period, and at the end see what's working and what's not.
A classic pitfall I see for stale meetings is that there's no distinction between the facilitator and the leader. The leader cares about the content and is invested in what we're talking about. That has to be different to the facilitator, who makes sure:
- we're addressing the goal of the meetings
- everyone has a chance to speak, and
- everyone has what they need to do to take action afterwards.
So the pro-tip here is make a distinction between who's leading the meeting, and who's facilitating.
How do you get the most out of 1:1 meetings?
The person in your 1:1 is probably looking for growth — which can come in three different forms:
- Mentoring — teaching them how to do something.
- Coaching — helping them connect their own dots with a series of coaching questions.
- Sponsoring — getting someone visible developmental assignments to get them to the next level, such as being delegated a juicy stretch project.
1:1 meetings should include some balance of those three things, as well as feedback. Everyone's different in terms of what they need, and how much of it they need. And some know exactly what they need and can articulate this, others will have no idea what they need – which is totally cool.
I believe it's up to the leaders to ask a lot of questions, and get curious about them to see how they can best provide support in a leadership context.
If you're in a situation where you've been mentoring somebody and you realise you should've been coaching them the whole time — because that is in some form a failure — how would you address that?
There's a tool I use called 'what we learned, and what we'll do':
- 'What we learned' is addressing that something messed up
- 'What we'll do' is taking the learnings and coming up with the solution.
I love this because you're like, 'Okay, I acknowledge this thing went sideways. Now what we'll do instead is this other thing'. This is more of a reactive approach than a proactive one, but it's a tool I'd recommend you use all the time.
Bron: I feel like acknowledging failure is a really powerful thing, especially as a leader. Because everybody's human, and we should be able to say 'I made a mistake, I screwed that up, and I'm really sorry'. I would love to find ways of letting it be more acceptable for the whole organisation to fail. That's how you learn!
So what can I do as a leader to encourage failure?
Totally, and that comes back to the whole psychological safety thing, right? It's so important within our communities and companies to foster psychological safety. And this is something I've only just begun to read about how organisations can do so.
There are many tools that leaders can employ in order to create a much more psychologically safe environment for their teammates to fail and discuss it.

Further information for academic staff
Below are the answers to some frequently asked questions from academics about the Staff Review & Development process.
Contact us
For specific SR&D queries, contact your departmental HR team or the Academic Staff Development team
Can I change my reviewer?
Where a reviewee genuinely feels that their allocated reviewer is not best placed to review their work or would not enable a productive and helpful dynamic, they may discuss the possibility of changing their reviewer with their Head of School / Division or another appropriate manager.
How does SR&D fit with promotion and progression?
The SR&D discussion provides an ideal forum for discussion on matters such as eligibility for progression/promotion; career development aspirations/opportunities; training and development needs/aspirations; barriers to performance. Individuals should take the opportunity to be frank about concerns, reservations, or perceived development needs to enable their Reviewer to provide relevant support. We have heard that there are some concerns that such openness might negatively impact on an individual's promotion or progression - the SR&D conversation is confidential and information shared in this context will not be taken forward into consideration of promotion or progression cases.
I'm a Professor and set my own targets over a 2-3 year period - how can I document objectives annually?
The approach to SR&D requires a review of past objectives and the setting of objectives for the coming period. The online system allows objectives to be developed, amended and carried forward from one year to the next - you can set and monitor objectives over any reasonable timeframe, using the on-line system as a tool.
I lead a large research project – my researchers know what's expected of them. Do they need SR&D?
The University of Bristol is interested in supporting staff in their careers, even if their contracts are associated with fixed research funding for their current research project. SR&D is not only about consideration of current objectives, but also about planning for the longer term and career next steps. The University wants to keep and develop its researchers wherever possible and SR&D is an effective mechanism to ensure this happens. Academic lead and project profiles can only be enhanced if you and your projects are viewed as a positive springboard for developing and employing world class researchers.
I'm a researcher and would rather have my staff review with my PI than the Centre Head. Can I ask for this?
Your Head of School is asked to make decisions around who is best to review whom. Generally for Pathway 2 staff the PI will be the reviewer. If you are concerned about the reviewer you have been allocated, you are able to request a change – in the first instance you should speak to your Head of School to discuss.
I'm a researcher working across two research projects. How will my Staff Review incorporate this?
If you have two roles, the best approach is use the MyReview system for your main role, and then a paper version of the MyReview form for your other role. You should talk with each of your PIs to agree a way forward that best suits you and the needs of the University. Paper copies of the MyReview form can be requested at email@example.com
I am moving to a new research project soon. Should I wait and have a Staff Review with my new PI?
If your staff review is due you should have the conversation with your current reviewer. There's never been a more key time for you to have a review conversation! It will give you the opportunity to take stock of your achievements and think carefully about your future plans. When you move roles you will then be incorporated into the review cycle of the new area, which may mean having another review for the new role in the same year - but these conversations will only help you to think about your current and future objectives.

If you are thinking about starting fertility treatments, chances are you will first be prescribed a fertility pill. It is usually the first course of action for fertility treatments and there are several different options out there. Let's look at some of the most popular and top rated fertility pills that are on the market today. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here
Clomid is the most commonly prescribed fertility drug in the USA today. It is also sold under the name Serophene. Clomid bumps up the process of ovulation and helps the body to produce and release multiple eggs. The most common dosage of Clomid is around 50 mg, taken for five days at a time.
You usually take Clomid on days 3-7 or days 5-9. The side effects of Clomid are not usually very severe, usually only a few pregnancy-like symptoms. Clomid is definitely the most successful fertility pill out there right now. It has been shown to jump start ovulation in 80% of women, and around 45% of women will get pregnant within six cycles.
If you do not begin to ovulate or see results after six cycles of treatments, your doctor will probably want to move you onto another plan of action. However, it is most likely that you will be started on Clomid first since it is one of the highest rated fertility drugs out there.
While not technically "pills", Gonadotropins are probably the next most popular fertility treatment drug on the market today. They are usually used for women who do not respond to treatments such as Clomid. Gonadotropins are sold under brand names such as Repronex, Novarel and others.
They are injection drugs that are given each day for seven to twelve days. The injections will help a woman's body to produce multiple eggs. You will then have to get an additional injection of a hormone called hCG, that will release your eggs.
It is then time to have sex and try to make sure that a sperm gets to meet up with those eggs! Gonadotropins are usually used for up to six cycles, before being considered unsuccessful. You should also keep in mind that gonadotropins increase the risk of conceiving multiples, usually between 10-40%. Gonadotropins are usually also very expensive, running around an average of $5000 for each cycle.
If that kind of price point is way out of your budget, you might consider one of the top rated over the counter fertility pills on the market. At just $39.95 per bottle, Fertibella won't break the bank. What's more, this supplement comes in a TTC Starter Kit that includes otherwise pricey ovulation predictor kits and pregnancy tests for free.
And get this. You can try the entire TTC Starter Kit for free! Just pay to ship, and you get 2 months supply of the fertility pills, the ovulation and pregnancy tests and a BBT thermometer. You get to try it to see how you like it. Women are raving over its ease of use and the success stories are all around the Web. If you're having troubles with ovulation, cycle regularity, or hormonal imbalances, give Fertibella a try first.
These are some of the highest rated fertility pills on the market today. They are very successful and considered to be very safe. There are many women who have been able to use these methods to be able to conceive and go on to have a family where they usually wouldn't be able to otherwise.

Brooklyn was a complete breath of fresh air for her shoot. Going through a lot of changes and difficulties in my life right now, I haven't felt passion for a lot of the things I usually feel it for. I felt like my creativity was at an all time low, and my lack of passion for creating unique and heartfelt images was limiting how well I could do my job. But then Brooklynn showed up to her session – and it all just clicked for me again. The warm weather, a beautiful, happy client, cute outfits, laid back chats with her mom…. it was such a perfect night. I couldn't be more happy about how this session turned out for her!
We went around downtown Logan, and Brooklynn just completely rocked it. She was so comfortable and easy in front of the camera. Her confidence was contagious, and she radiates kindness. I'm excited to see where Brooklynn ends up after senior year!

@conference {1306, title = {Aerodynamic Shape Optimization with Time Spectral Flutter Adjoint}, booktitle = {Scitech 2019}, year = {2019}, month = {In press}, publisher = {AIAA}, organization = {AIAA}, address = {San Diego, CA}, abstract = {
Flutter onset characteristic are an important consideration in commercial airliner design. Previous work with high-fidelity aerostructural optimization has shown a tendency for optimization algorithms to produce unrealistically high span designs, particularly when maximizing range or minimizing fuel burn, in an effort to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. In order to constraint this tendency, we propose to include a flutter constraint to these optimization problems. To be meaningful for this class of optimization problem, the flutter model should be able to predict the strong nonlinearity in the transonic regime, as commercial airliners largely operate in this regime. In addition, these problems typically include a large number of design variables, therefore we use gradient-based optimization algorithms, requiring the constraint formulation to be continuous, differentiable and have an efficient method for computing the gradients of the constraint. In this paper, we apply Euler time-spectral computational fluid dynamics methods to model the flutter constraint and we propose a coupled adjoint method to calculate the constraint sensitivity with respect to the design variables. The coupled adjoint method has the advantage that the gradient evaluation time is independent of the number of design variables. In the literature, the harmonic balance method has been used to model flutter constraints. A two-level adjoint formulation has been proposed to evaluate the sensitivity of flutter onset velocity with respect to the design variables. Such method requires solving the harmonic balance aerodynamic adjoint $\mathcal{O}(N_{CSD})$ times where $N_{CSD}$ is the structural degree of freedom multiplied by number of time instances. On the contrary, we propose the coupled adjoint method which directly deals with the whole aeroelastic system and solves only $1$ adjoint equation. We verify the adjoint sensitivity computation with the finite difference method. Finally, we present a MDO problem for the classic Isogai case in which we maximize the flutter velocity index with respect to aerodynamic shape design variables. We gain a $10.9\%$ increase of the flutter velocity index through this optimization.}, keywords = {flutter, time-spectral}, doi = {10.2514/6.2019-0697 }, author = {Sicheng He and Eirikur Jonsson and Charles A.

Flutter is a dynamic aeroelastic instability driven by the interaction of inertial, elastic, and aerodynamic forces. It is an undesirable phenomenon in aircraft because it causes divergent oscillations that may lead to structural damage or failure, performance and ride comfort degradation, or loss of control. If flutter is discovered at the aircraft certification stage, costly redesign is required. Performing flutter analysis early in the design process can mitigate this problem. Furthermore, including flutter analysis as a constraint in multidisciplinary design optimization reduces the risk of costly modifications late in the design cycle. We review the methods for flutter analysis in the context of aircraft design optimization.\ We also include methods for predicting post-flutter limit cycle oscillations due to the increasing impact of nonlinear effects on future aircraft. While there has been extensive work in flutter and post-flutter analyses, developing design optimization constraints associated with these analyses has additional requirements, such as acceptable computational cost, function smoothness, robustness, and derivative computation. We discuss these requirements and review efforts in the development, implementation, and application of flutter and post-flutter constraints in aircraft design optimization. We conclude the paper by summarizing the current state of this field and the main open problems. Flutter constraints have been included in structural optimizations, but optimizing both the structural sizing and the aerodynamic shape remains a challenge due to the need to recompute the aerodynamic properties at each design iteration.\ Additional difficulties arise in the presence of large structural deflections and transonic flow conditions due to the dependency of the flutter point on the equilibrium state and the high cost of nonlinear computations. Post-flutter constraints have rarely been included into design optimization, but they are crucial in the prevention of undesirable limit cycle oscillations. Implementing such constraints requires the development of more efficient and robust prediction methods that can handle realistic configurations. While this paper focuses on flutter and post-flutter constraints for aircraft design optimization applications, the considerations and challenges are broadly applicable to the optimization of engineering systems including stability and post-critical dynamic constraints.}, keywords = {aeroelasticity, flutter}, doi = {10.1016/j.paerosci.2019.04.001}, author = {Eirikur Jonsson and Cristina Riso and Christopher A.

Flutter methods can be broadly categorized into low and high fidelity methods. Low fidelity methods in general lack the ability to capture accurately the strong nonlinearities in the transonic flow regime; researchers have used Harmonic Balance (HB) method (a frequency domain method equivalent with time-spectral (TS) method modeled in time domain) to capture the flutter onset point. However, the previous solution method is hindered by scalability: O(NCSD) CFD evaluations needed for each Newton step, and a lack of robustness due to the nature of Newton{\textendash}Raphson method. In this paper, we propose a preconditioned coupled Jacobian-free Newton{\textendash}Krylov (CNK) method for TS flutter equations. By resolving the coupled system directly, the O(NCSD) CFD evaluations are avoided. With a line search method CNK is expected to be more robust. A block-Jacobian preconditioning method is used in this work.

⇐ My Mock Drafts
2017 NFL Mock Draft by Grizzly - 10.21 (reTweaked)
Published at 10/18/2016 7:01:46 PM
PANDA draft 2 . 7 Two rounds... Not that I need to remind anyone, but I AM (still) a Bears fan....:-) BEARS TRADES ONLY DRAFT. For me, (at this stage) it is almost as interesting to pick the draft order,, BEARS HAVE 5 PICKS IN THIS 2 ROUND DRAFT.. I am also OPEN to suggestions, make your case logically and I might edit your suggestion in
5481 Page Views | 0 Comments
Round 1
Sure it could be Kizer (as Walt and Charlie mock) Yet he's not exactly burning it up on the bench is he? On the other side of the coin is almost ALL the experts insist Garrett is far and away the top pick in the draft. The eternal quest for the next JJ Watt continues. Cleveland also has enough ammo (and the Eagles first rounder) to move up and snag one of the three top QB's in this draft and that's why they take Garrett here.
It did not take me long to be outed as a HOMER did it? But really, other than the experts who isn't? It could be SF here and the Bears at 3, however why it is not SF... you will see Bears obtain an extra first rounder...Feel the drama building? Frankly as a Bears fan I'd be just as happy if Garrett fell to us (If that happens I stick with Hoyer and pick up Mason Rudolf in round 2)
Obviously it is Watson or Kaaya here but which? Of course Kap could significantly improve, yet then SF would not be at three would they? To be honest, at this early stage of the mock season I'm at least as fascinated with the order as who plugs in where. Bottom line is I'm not going to profile each pick in depth because you're not visiting me for that, you're here to see where I slot your team(s) and you read the experts for profiles.
I think it notable though to tell you I DO study the draft order in depth and that is why THE WISE might visit me (and come back) What week six showed us was that it looks like the top 3 picks here have separated themselves from the pretenders....The astute will insist that Chicago has not, yet remember I told you the drama was coming and this will be explained. The Bolts have another conundrum like last year in to snag one of the many DB's or continue with their plan of DL, I think it is tough to pass on Allen here.
If you're a Bears fan like me you smell B Marshall antics in their early demise, not on the field but off it. It seems clear to me the pick is Watson here although it could be Kaaya but it is SF's leftovers 4 sure.
Again it could be the start of the DB floodgates opening, but I'm thinking they are running to the podium to make this pick
I still think Carolina finishes ahead of Miami....
and the Jags too....I like Peppers off first because of his upside and versatility. he could take over for House or either safety However I would not be surprised if they replaced Skuta with say Tim Williams either here.
This would be in the LOCK class (for me)
Plenty of talent in the defensive backfield this year to choose from, so why not go for the Gator and help sell some tickets?
Titans have to address the secondary is my bet . All of these DB's are pretty much what flavor you like, but CB still trumps Safety in my book. Could be Jackson here also
Colts could go many different ways with this pick, I like a pass rush
(From Titans via LA via Bears) First the order, I don't see the Bengals or Cards,finishing above LA.
Now the drama. Bears trade soon to be free agent Jeffery closer to his hometown in South Carolina where he will sign.It is a good trade for the Titans. This also assures Chicago will finish worse than SF..
Bears trade this pick .to the Cards for Cards 2017 2nd rounder and throw in Jay Cutler solving their backup QB situation. I;m also high on Barnett
This is where you might think Cook goes, but I think the Lions want a stud DT on the right side but not at 14 with the top two gone. Could be Cook but I'm slotting Jackson here.
How the mighty have fallen! I think they need more targets could be JuJu here but my pick is Williams as
This was the Cards pick and they (Cards) jumped the Lions expecting them to take Cook when he is still available the Bills jump up four slots trading away their second round and getting back their 4th round the Bears own. Bills fans will insist this is too much to pay. I say when Rex makes up his mind he pulls the trigger. This could work out fantastic if Cook is as good as advertised.

Escapes From Freedom
From Under the Rubble
Unlike the West, where people openly discuss problems in their search for solutions, Soviet Russia merely boasts of its achievements and triumphs. Symptoms of economic, social, and moral decline and obvious stagnation are ignored officially, because they cannot be explained away. Everyone must pretend that everything is in good order and proceeding according to the "Leninist" plan, carefully laid out in advance. Society thus submits itself, will-lessly and thoughtlessly, to arbitrary, destructive forces, like a sick man who pretends he is well for fear of treatment.
The few thinking people in the Soviet Union who take the risk of speaking out about general, central problems become victims of hatred and persecution. They fill the prisons, concentration camps, and mental hospitals. The all-powerful and uncontrolled state machine uses every possible means to drive them out of the country or to force them to fall silent, persuaded that any constructive effort is futile.
These people—described in the West as dissidents—are known here chiefly for their suffering, not for their ideas. There is more information on their treatment by the government than on the meaning and goals of their activities. Indeed, circumstances have compelled them to spend more energy in defending their right to freedom of thought and speech than in theoretical and scholarly elaboration of their positions. An impression has thus been created that the dissidents are united in their aspirations—an impression resulting not so much from their positive ideals as from their shared critical attitude toward the dominant regime.
This is one reason why the publication of From Under the Rubble, a collection of theoretical essays which appeared in a Russian edition in France several months ago and has just appeared in English translation, is in many respects an important event. To begin with, the book opens a discussion of general problems among the dissidents themselves. Second, it acquaints the Western reader with at least one of the lines of dissident thought in the Soviet Union.
The editor and one of the contributors to the collection is Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who appears in it as both a theoretician and a publicist. The book began to take shape while he was still in Moscow, but was completed after his expulsion from the Soviet Union. It represents an effort to elucidate a number of questions, some specifically Soviet and Russian, others of international and general historical importance.
To contribute to From Under the Rubble was by no means a purely literary matter. For those who did so and who remain in Russia it was a civic action—a choice and a challenge. Regardless of the substance of the ideas expressed in it, the book speaks of the authors' determination to confront the state, which is accustomed to treating all independent opinion with insults and violence, not with discussion. The authors' readiness to sacrifice themselves must be kept in mind if their writing is to be understood.…

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's one-game suspension for a late hit in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills has been upheld after an appeal, the NFL announced Tuesday. The appeal was heard by Derrick Brooks, the appeals officer assigned to the hearing jointly by the NFL and NFL Players Association. Gronkowski will miss Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski was penalized on the play but not ejected from the game. It is the first NFL suspension for Gronkowski since he entered the league as a second-round draft choice with the Patriots in 2010. In remarks to reporters after the game, Gronkowski had apologized to Tre'Davious White for the hit, which came after an interception thrown in his direction. White was on the ground after the play, face-down, when Gronkowski leapt on top of him and put his elbow/forearm into the back of White's head/neck area.

The LawLytics Difference
LawLytics was founded by attorney Dan Jaffe (pictured here) who became disillusioned by the smoke screens and unnecessary disadvantages sold to attorneys by the legal marketing industry. LawLytics is for lawyers who want to get ahead of the competition and break free from overpriced and underperforming marketing. You don't have to compromise with LawLytics. Here's why:
The Problem
Directory Companies are Conflicted
Online legal directories are your direct competitors for zero-sum search engine rankings. If your website outranks their directory, it hurts their business. Despite the conflict of interest, some directory companies sell or give away "free" law firm websites to attorneys without disclosing or acknowledging that their business depends on their directory website(s) to do better than your law firm's website.
Our Solution
No Conflicting Directory Businesses
We view owning a directory business as an ethically disqualifying feature for any company that helps attorneys build, manage, host, maintain or optimize their firms' websites. It's a conflict of interest per se. Therefore, we will never own or have a business interest in the performance of any online legal directory, or any other website that would compete with your firm for the attention of your clients.
The Problem
SEO is Made Artificially Complex
Some legal marketing providers want lawyers to think that search engine optimization is complex, time-consuming and ever-changing. This "positioning" enables them to charge significant fees, yet some law firm SEO providers do little more than write a monthly report, while others try to game Google and do things that put the firm's website at risk.
Our Solution
SEO is Simplified and Transparent
LawLytics makes it easy to grow your law firm with reliable SEO. It's so easy that any attorney can implement it, and it makes engaging with agencies optional yet more effective and transparent. And it doesn't rely on risky tricks that can get you demoted or banned by search engines. LawLytics helps attorneys easily understand what works and empowers them (and/or their agencies) to succeed with SEO.
The Problem
PPC Can Drain Law Firms' Profits
Lawyers waste money on pay-per-click ads. Some become dependent on continuous PPC spending by failing to build sustainable marketing assets. Some PPC agencies work with multiple competing law firms, driving up the prices attorneys must bid for clicks (as well as the management fees that agencies collect). Some agencies charge excessive management fees, obscure their billing practices, and don't let attorneys see the real data or own their own PPC accounts.
Our Solution
Ethical PPC Options
As a LawLytics member, we'll help you build sustainable marketing infrastructure that leverages free traffic so you won't be dependent on costly PPC. And, if you decide that you want to do PPC advertising to supplement your marketing, you'll have access to our ethical PPC partners who have agreed to strict guidelines that prevent them from acting unethically or ignoring your firm's best interests.
The Problem
WordPress is Not Optimal for Lawyers
WordPress is free open-source software that can be hosted on the cheap. But it comes with hidden costs to solo and small firm lawyers. WordPress is not built for lawyers, is not natively SEO-friendly, requires extensive modification and customization for law firms, has security vulnerabilities, and requires continuous code and plugin updates.
Our Solution
LawLytics is Built for Lawyers
LawLytics gives lawyers all the power and benefits of WordPress, but without the technical work, risks, hidden costs, and headaches. And it gives legal marketing agencies and providers an easier and more effective alternative to struggling with WordPress. LawLytics is built exclusively for law firms, so unlike WordPress, everything that attorneys need is built in.

A man in his 30s who is in the advanced stages of Huntington's disease and repeatedly pulls out a feeding tube attached to his stomach should be allowed to die, a judge has ruled.
The man had removed the tube about 120 times, Mr Justice Hayden was told during the hearing at the court of protection in London. The man's mother and an aunt told the judge they believed he "wants to go".
A consultant neurologist said it would not be right – and futile – for medics to force the feeding tube on the man.
Hayden concluded that the tube should not be reinserted, even though this would hasten the man's death.
The judge heard evidence from specialists, a nurse, and relatives at a public hearing in the specialist court – which considers issues relating to sick and vulnerable people who lack the mental capacity to make decisions – in London on Friday.
He said the man, whose father had died of Huntington's disease, could not be identified. But he said bosses at Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University hospitals NHS Trust had responsibility for the man's care and had asked for a ruling on what treatment would be in his best interests.
Huntington's disease is a hereditary disorder of the central nervous system. The condition becomes progressively worse over time and can affect movement, cognition and behaviour. There is no cure and its progress cannot be reversed or slowed.
Symptoms of Huntington's were first seen when the man was in his teens, the judge heard.
A nurse closely involved in the man's care told the court the quality of his life had deteriorated rapidly in recent years. The man no longer got out of bed, had lost the ability to speak and could not eat normally.
Medics had tried a variety of types of feeding tube but the man repeatedly removed them, the judge heard.
The man's mother was too distressed to give evidence but his aunt told the court: "Mum thinks he wants to ..." Hayden finished her sentence by saying "go". The aunt nodded and added: "It's a dreadful disease."
The neurologist said the man experienced pleasure and probably pain. He told the judge: "Every time a tube is inserted [the man] pulls it out." He said a feeding tube should not be forced on him. "I don't see any circumstances where that would be the right course of action – even if it leads to his death," he said. "There seems to be a futility in reinserting the tube. Unless he is restrained permanently there will be a 121st (time) and a 122nd etc."
He added: "There is no doubt this behaviour pattern will continue."
Hayden said the man had enjoyed many interests and his "personality leapt" from court papers. The man was a passionate supporter of Manchester United – his aunt told how he used to regularly visit Old Trafford. A doctor told the court the man still smiled on hearing United's name, and that a recent mention of Everton had "produced a frown".
Hayden said re-inserting a feeding tube would involve restraining the man – and might mean putting mittens on him. He said that would be disrespectful and "compromise" the man's dignity.
The judge said he had come to the conclusion that a feeding tube should not be re-inserted even though such a move would hasten the man's death.
"There is a strong instinct throughout the medical profession, and far more broadly, to preserve life wherever possible," said Hayden. "But that is not a value that stands alone and in splendid isolation."
He added: "It is to be considered against a whole raft of other important issues – respect for the dignity and autonomy of the individual and respect for their wishes."

Stuff Some Portobellos with Veggies and Top with Creamy Spinach Bechamel for a Hefty Holiday MealDecember 7, 2019
- Gela VelascoWords
- Mylene ChungPhotography
- Katherine JaoStyling and Recipe Development
Christmas parties and holiday reunions are when everyone brings out their best recommendations or gets the chance to show off their skills in the kitchen. It's not enough to bring staples like chicken and beef; everyone loves a little variety, which is why we're introducing this decadently cheesy recipe that will get even the youngest of the family to eat vegetables. Portobello mushrooms are one of the best vegetables to work with, not only for their large size but also for their texture, and the fact that it's just as filling as meat.
In today's recipe, the addition of NESTLÉ All Purpose Cream completes the silkiness of the béchamel with the spinach and cheese. The béchamel itself only requires a few minutes of your time and the cooking less than ten minutes. If you've got relatives coming over for a surprise visit, then you can easily serve a batch of these and still leave them floored by your taste for food.
Stuffed Portobello with Creamy Spinach Béchamel
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: Stuffed Portobello
- 6 caps portobello mushroom
- 1/4 grated cheese of choice (mozzarella, quick-melt, etc.)
Ingredients: Béchamel
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 pc white onion, chopped
- 1/2 tbsp flour
- 1 pack NESTLÉ All Purpose Cream 250ml
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup spinach, blanched and chopped
- 1/2 cup grated edam cheese
- ground black pepper
Procedure: Creamy Stuffed Portobello with Spinach Béchamel
- Remove stems of the mushroom and arrange caps on a baking tray. Set aside.
- Melt butter in pan and sauté garlic and onion. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Add in NESTLÉ All Purpose Cream and whisk well. Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
- Add in chopped spinach and grated cheese. Wait for it to boil and then turn off the fire.
- Fill mushroom caps.Top with grated cheese and bake in 400° Fahrenheit oven for 7-9 minutes until the top is light brown. Serve immediately.
