JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bringing the theme of "Innovation for Inclusion", the Indonesia Fintech Association (AFTECH), along with Financial Services Authority of Indonesia (OJK), Bank Indonesia, and supported by Indonesia Joint Funding Fintech Association (AFPI), and Indonesia Sharia Fintech Association (AFSI), will organize the biggest fintech event in Indonesia, the Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo (IFSE) 2019 that will be held on 23 - 24 September 2019 at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC). During the event, as part of the IFSE event, OJK and BI will also host "Policy Dialogue" on 25 September 2019 with regulators from other countries.
The fintech associations above, namely the AFTECH, AFPI, and AFSI will take the momentum of IFSE 2019 to launch the "Joint Code of Conduct on Responsible Fintech Innovation" as a joint commitment, which is agreed by all fintech industry players, to standardize and provide general guidelines on the basic principles of responsible business practices. The Joint of Code of Conduct will regulate the minimum arrangements regarding the obligations of the fintech operators in ensuring consumer protection, the protection and privacy of personal data, cyber risk mitigation, the mechanism to handle consumer complaints, and other important topics.
"The Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo 2019 will be the momentum for fintech companies and the financial industry to show their real contribution in supporting the government's target of 75 percent financial inclusion in Indonesia," said Niki Luhur, Chairman of AFTECH.
IFSE 2019 will consist of several main agendas such as the summit, the expo and other supporting programs. Targeting 800 delegations (regulators, the government, donor agencies, fintech and financial sector players, and others), the conference will present more than 100 world-class speakers to discuss various important issues related to fintech industry development and its impact to the public, particularly for the unbanked and underserved segments. For the expo area, more than 120 companies from fintech, financial, and technology sectors will display their financial technology products and services, which benefit is already evident to the public.
The delegations of the conference will have the chance to witness the launch of studies on the development of the fintech industry that is published by AFTECH partners such as the World Bank, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance, McKinsey & Company, Accenture, and Deloitte.
AFTECH, as the organization appointed by OJK to be the Association of Digital Financial Innovation Organizers (IKD), has witnessed the rapid growth and development of the fintech industry in Indonesia within the last years. To date, AFTECH has 280 member companies, of which 250 are fintech companies operating in various sectors such as digital payment system, online lending, digital financial innovation, insuretech, equity crowdfunding, and others.
Niki Luhur further said the rapid growth of the fintech industry created many challenges that require special attention from the stakeholders, such as the regulators and the industry players. "We realize that there are many issues to be discussed and addressed to ensure the fintech industry in Indonesia can enjoy sustainable growth by following the existing regulations. This way, the consumer can enjoy financial technology products and services that fulfill their needs. The Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo 2019 will serve as one of the mediums for the stakeholders to discuss various important topics and find the solutions," explained Niki Luhur.
Meanwhile, Widyo Gunadi, Advisor of Digital Financial Innovation Group, OJK, said that OJK and other regulators have provided support for the growth of the fintech and digital financial innovation industries through supervision and coaching. One of the supports is through regulations related to fintech which emphasize on consumer protection without hampering the innovation. This is in line with the direction from President Joko Widodo who highlighted the importance of light touch and safe harbor approaches at the Bali Fintech Agenda during the organizing of the IMF -- World Bank Annual Meeting 2018.
"OJK has always supported the digital financial innovation following the needs of the people that are driven by rapid technology advances. On the other hand, we also ensure that the financial technology products and services offerings do not violate regulations and emphasize consumer protection," said Widyo Gunadi. He added that OJK's commitment to digital financial innovation is shown by the fact that 48 fintech companies have qualified into 15 digital finance innovation cluster.
On the same occasion, AFPI Chairman, Adrian Gunadi, expressed his support for the organizing of the Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo 2019, highlighting the importance of the goal to educate the public on the products and services of P2P lending fintech. "In recent years, the P2P lending fintech sector has experienced a very high growth due to the high public demand for easy and fast online lending, and especially to accelerate financial inclusion in Indonesia and bridging the need for financial access throughout the country. Related associations and other stakeholders need to provide consistent education and socialization program to increase public awareness about fintech," said Gunadi. He added that to date there are 127 P2P lending fintech companies registered in OJK (as of August 7, 2019).
Through this event, AFPI invites its member companies to show the positive impact and contribution of the P2P lending fintech sector to the public and the national economy, including to the SME sector through productive loan services. "At the Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo 2019, various P2P lending fintech companies will provide education programs to the public on how to choose P2P lending fintech companies that have been registered with the OJK and how to use the online lending services responsibly," added Adrian Gunadi.
Meanwhile, AFSI will use the momentum of the Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo 2019 as the medium to introduce various sharia-based fintech solutions. "Through this event, we want to show the diversity and the potential of sharia fintech in Indonesia that do not exist in other countries. This is important because we realize the huge potential of fintech in accelerating sharia financial inclusion and literacy in Indonesia," said Ronald Yusuf Wijaya, Chairman of AFSI.
The Indonesia Fintech Summit & Expo 2019 is fully supported by the National Council for Financial Inclusion (DNKI), the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, and the Creative Economy Agency.

The humble little mouse has become big business at Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. The research center uses selective breeding to create mice that have the genetic traits to make them useful for scientists searching for cures to human diseases. David Brooks recently visited Jackson Labs and learned a lot about the business of mice. He's a columnist for the Nashua Telegraph and writer at Granitegeek.org. He spoke with NHPR's All Things Considered host Peter Biello.
What kind of mice are they selling?
They are wildly inbred mice. This is a business that's been there for about 85 years. It was kind of established by a philanthropist on his vacation retreat. This is, by the way—we're talking about Bar Harbor, right next to Acadia and Mount Desert Island—so it was established as a research facility. He was going to do his own mice, but he realized that everyone needs these mice, so they turned it into a business/philanthropy. And it has become quite a business, but they have an operating budget of $250 million per year roughly, about half of which is covered by mouse sales to labs, hospitals, researchers, all around the country and many international ones.
How many mice per year are we talking about here?
The number I heard was three million per year. They can cost a couple bucks apiece or they can cost up to a couple hundred dollars apiece, several hundred actually, depending on what attributes you want. Researchers look through a catalog—you can search it online, search it by gene, characteristic. And you can say, "I want to study this particular factor" or "I want to study something that happens on the skin, so it would be helpful to have a hairless mouse, so then I can see more easily what has happened to the skin as I work on the mice." So then you order hairless mice. If you order the "Black Six," which is their basic model—it's the Model T of laboratory mice—they bred it there, it's easy to work with, reproduces well, it likes life in the lab, and it's safe to say it's the single most common laboratory animal in the world. Those are only a few bucks a piece, but the specialty ones are quite expensive.
They also have 7,000 different strains, most of them are actually kept as embryos or sperm and eggs in liquid nitrogen, so there's another large room that's full of eight or ten big tanks much larger than your refrigerator filled with liquid nitrogen. And in there are the actual embryos. If you order a particular strain of mice that's not alive at the moment, they pull out the embryo and implant it I think in a Black Six probably and twelve weeks later, you've got your mice.
Mice made to order.
Exactly mice made to order. It's a production facility with interesting twists, so for example, there's a sign next to one counter that says, "This is where people eat lunch. Please don't leave sperm here."
Not a sign you see everyday.
But it is a production facility. They can generate large amounts of mice on demand relatively quickly and they do. Researchers all over the world depend on them.
In your column, you write about how Jackson Laboratory is acting a lot like traditional companies, in the sense that it's started a successful manufacturing business—in this case, mice—and now it's moving into services. What services is it providing?
The services are the research itself. It's the work that's being done with the mice. They have 50 researchers right here, and these are high-level folks who are chosen to have a lab here, and that's quite impressive. They come here to get a few bucks to get started. Then after that they have to get their own grants to keep going. Last year, Jackson Lab opened a large facility at the University of Connecticut in Farmington, next to the medical school there, which eventually will have as many as 300 researchers, again, doing medical research, using Jackson Lab mice as a mouse model, so they can test for various things, see what happens, see if they can find genetic components to what happens to the mice and whether they can find the similar genes in humans and therefore use it to develop treatments for us. So the services that will eventually (hopefully) provide cures for you and I, using mice as models, and using their own mice as often as not.
Kind of makes you look at your own pet mouse a little differently, doesn't it?
Well, most of these mice are descended from pet mice. The initial mice were so-called "fancy mice"—they were pets that were owned by all these rich people who had summer homes on Mount Desert Island. Each breed is at least ten generations of inbreeding—brothers and sisters mating to get the genes down to a specific form. In recent years they've actually been bringing in wild mice to mix up the genes a bit. The trouble is, wild mice are harder to work with. They tend to escape and they tend to bite you. I've been told many times that people prefer working with the Black Sixes of the world, but science is hard.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Jennifer Holt works around some of the most vulnerable patients at Mercy Medical Center as the Director for the Family Birth Center.
She says protecting the babies born on this certain floor is one of the key reasons why the hospital has put new restrictions on visitors this flu season.
"We're protecting the newborns who can't be vaccinated for the flu until about six months of age, so by keeping them a little isolated from people who are potentially carrying the flu, then they're not going to get sick as often," Holt said.
Signs near the entry now let visitors know that children under the age of 13 and anyone showing any symptoms of illness will not be allowed past the lobby from November 15 through April 30.
That means young siblings and other relatives may need to wait until after babies are discharged to meet them for the first time.
"Our goal is that we celebrate our new families at home when we're not exposing them to a lot of illnesses in the hospital," Holt said.
The new rules are also designed to protect the elderly, people who just had surgery and others who may have weakened immune systems.
"And also for our staff as well because they are here and are subjected to different viruses all the time, so just to keep a healthy environment for our facility here," says Vanessa Collins, an Infection Preventionist.
Collins says the hospital has seen an increase in pediatric flu cases coming through the emergency room in recent months. So far, they've had more cases of Type B influenza than Type A.
While the symptoms are similar, Collins says that information is vital to help the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention track the effectiveness of the flu vaccine, which is still recommended for everyone six months of age or older.
"It's never too late to get the vaccine as long as it's available," Collins said. "It does take a couple of weeks for it to become effective, but you can get the flu vaccine until March and April."

(PLINIE was of opinion that the Silures inhabited also the other part beside of this country, which, bearing out farther Westward, is called in English by some West-wales, and containeth Caermardenshire, Pembrockshire, and Cardiganshire. But Ptolomaee, who knew Britaine farre better, placed heere another people, whom he called Dimetae and Demetae. Gildas likewise and Ninneius have used the name of Demetia for this tract. Whereupon the Britans that inhabit it, changing M in to F according to the propriety of their tongue, commonly call it at this day Difed. If it would not be thought strained curiousity, I would derive tis denomination of the Demetae from Deheu Maeth , that is, A plaine champion toward the South , like as the Britans themselves have named all this South-wales Deheu-barth , that is, The Souith part . Yea and those verily who inhabited another chamption country in Britaine were called in old time Meatae. Neither, I assure you, is the site of this region disagreing from this signification.

This series of maps were the first in which each county was delineated on a separate sheet. They were prepared by William Kip and William Hole and were mainly based on those of Christopher Saxton and Norden. The first issue of these maps was in 1607 with Latin text on the back of the maps and as the paper on which they are printed is rather thin, the lettering sometimes shows through on to the front of the map. In the subsequent two editions of 1610 and 1637 the maps had no text on the back and plate numbers were added to many maps for the 1637 edition. The maps were not issued again. The layout , calligraphy and general appearance of these maps are very similar to their Saxton counterparts. They were the first to carry the new Arms of James 1st with the unicorn replacing the dragon as a supporter.

Template:Dablink Template:Tone Template:Superherobox The Superman of Earth-Two is a fictional character, a comic book superhero published by DC Comics. The character first appeared in Justice League of America #73 (August 1969). He is a version of the Kryptonian superhero Superman from an alternate reality called Earth-Two. Unlike the more popular Superman, the Earth-Two Superman is portrayed as decades older and is given the birth name of Kal-L.
Fictional character biographyEdit
When the Golden Age of Comic Books came to a close in the 1950s, most of DC Comics' superhero comic books ceased publication. The commencement of the Silver Age saw characters such as the Flash and Green Lantern revamped for more modern times, ignoring or abandoning established continuity and thus creating a clean break between the two eras. It was later established that the Golden Age heroes and Silver Age heroes actually lived on Earth-Two and Earth-One respectively, separate parallel Earths in a single Multiverse.
However, Superman was one of the few exceptions; his stories had been published without interruption since his debut in 1938's Action Comics #1. This caused a continuity problem, specifically that Superman was simultaneously a member of the Justice Society of America on Earth-Two and also member of the Justice League of America on Earth-One. It was eventually established that there were two Supermen.[1] The "current", Silver Age Superman was Kal-El from Earth-One, while the Golden Age Superman was Kal-L from Earth-Two.
Several minor differences between the two Supermen were established to make the distinction clearer. The names "Kal-El", "Jor-El" and "Jonathan and Martha Kent" on Earth-One became "Kal-L", "Jor-L" and "John and Mary Kent" on Earth-Two. Kal-L's S-shield symbol was slightly different. Stories featuring both Supermen also indicated that Kal-L was the older of the two, being depicted as late middle-aged with greying hair at the temples, while his Earth-One counterpart was a youthful man of modern times.
This not only allowed DC Comics to bring Superman's Golden Age stories back into continuity, but also led them to experiment with a Superman who wasn't the mainstream one. Thus, several differences between Kal-L and the more well-known Kal-El were introduced. Kal-L eventually revealed his dual identities of Clark Kent and Superman to the woman he loved, the Lois Lane of Earth-Two, and they got married.[2] Their early marital life was depicted in the feature "Mr. & Mrs. Superman" in DC's Superman Family series.
As Superman, Kal-L was considered to be the first superhero in Earth-Two's history, being the first individual to appear in a colorful costume and display superhuman abilities. Clark received some training from his Earth-One counterpart in his teen years.[3] He fought against evil, at first on a local level in his base of operations, the American city of Metropolis; later in his career, he would consider first the entire United States, and then the whole world under his protection. In November 1940, Superman became a founding member of the Justice Society of America.[4] He was referred to as an "honorary member" along with Batman during the Justice Society's original meeting. He subsequently appeared in two published adventures with this team during the 1940s and aided them on several other occasions retroactively as a member of the World War II organization known as the All-Star Squadron. He built a Secret Citadel in the mountains outside of Metropolis as his headquarters and as shown in Infinite Crisis, Superman eventually built a Fortress of Solitude comparable to that of his Earth-One counterpart.
In later years, he was considered an "elder statesman" of Earth-Two's superhero community, the one that later generations of superheroes looked to as an example and role model.[5] In his secret identity as Clark Kent, Superman also enjoyed success at the Daily Star, of which he was appointed editor-in-chief in the 1950s, replacing George Taylor.
Fellow KryptoniansEdit
In 1950, Superman encountered three other surviving Kryptonians known as U-Ban, Kizo, and Mala. All three brothers were members of the ruling scientific council exiled from Krypton after they attempted to conquer the planet. Imprisoned in suspended animation tube vessels, they were later freed.[6] Later Superman's lookalike Mala created a counterfeit Earth.[7]
At some point during the Silver Age, Superman's cousin Kara arrived on Earth after a lengthy journey from Krypton. When her father Zor-L discovered that Krypton was about to explode, he placed her in a spacecraft directed towards Earth. Although this occurs at the same time that Kal-L's ship is launched, Kara's ship travels more slowly, and she arrives on Earth decades after her cousin has landed. Kara's Symbioship is designed to keep her in stasis during the journey and provide her with life experiences and education in the form of a virtual reality. By the time she arrives on Earth, Kara is in her later teens to early twenties.
The Symbioship provided virtual copies of Zor-L, Alura and fellow Kryptonians from within her home city of Kandor. Once removed from the ship, this virtual reality ceases to exist. Only Kara - Power Girl, as she would later be known - was known to interact with this virtual Kryptonian reality.
Crisis on Infinite EarthsEdit
- Main article: Crisis on Infinite Earths
Kal-L was one of the heroes from various Earths who fought to save the Multiverse from destruction during the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths and was present at the battle at the dawn of time in which the five remaining Earths were merged into a single universe. As a result, Kal-L still existed and still remembered the history of his home reality, even though no one in the new reality remembered he had ever existed.
After grieving over the loss of his wife Lois and his friends from Earth-Two, Kal-L joins the remaining heroes for a final battle with the Anti-Monitor in the Anti-Matter Universe, where the Anti-Monitor has asorbed all life in that universe. Kal-L strikes the final blow that kills the Anti-Monitor once and for all.
Alexander Luthor of Earth-Three then reveals to Kal that he saved the Lois Lane of Earth-Two from the collapse of the Multiverse. Alexander then transports Kal-L, the Earth-Two Lois, the Superboy of Earth-Prime and himself into a paradise dimension and sealed themselves off from the universe.[8]
As a tribute to the Earth-Two Superman before the Superman character was recreated by John Byrne in the Man of Steel mini-series, Kal-L's origin was retold in Secret Origins #1 (April 1986), written by Roy Thomas and drawn by former Superman artist Wayne Boring.
In post-Crisis continuity, Kal-L's role in various All-Star Squadron adventures was taken by the character Iron Munro from the Young All-Stars series. Kal-L's roles as the most respected member of the Justice Society of America and the person who found his cousin Power Girl were given to the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott and Kal-El respectively. Lee Travis (the first Crimson Avenger) became the post-Crisis universe's first costumed hero after being shown a vision of Kal-El's future heroism before the start of his career (keeping Superman as the inspiration for Earth's superheroes in the new universe as well).Template:Citation needed
Kal-L later felt that the paradise was more of a prison than a refuge, and eventually discovered a doorway that would allow him to leave the "paradise" dimension without causing the destruction of the universe.[9]
Infinite CrisisEdit
- Main article: Infinite Crisis
Kal was initially content to stay in the "paradise" dimension until Lois began to fall ill. Kal then created a replica of Metropolis and the Daily Star office building in an attempt to help. After the attempt failed, Kal-L began to believe Alexander's claims that the "paradise" dimension they were in was eating away at their souls. Alexander and Superboy used Kal-L's distraction over Lois' health to break out of the "paradise" dimension and start their plan to recreate the Multiverse.[10]
Appalled by the rapidly-deteriorating state of affairs in the world, Kal-L, along with his three companions, decide to emerge from their self-imposed exile to lend their aid. Kal-L batters an exit through the crystalline barrier which has separated them from the rest of reality.[11]
Kal-L then meets up with his cousin Power Girl, explains her true origins to her, (as well as the previous Crisis and the merger of the remaining Earths, with Earth-One being dominant and some of Earth-Two's heroes having been lost), and enlists her help.
After having her memories restored by the Earth-Two Lois' touch, Kal-L then reveals to Power Girl that his plan is to bring back Earth-Two.[12] Kal-L then attempts to enlist Batman's aid by claiming that Batman's distrust of the heroes has been caused by Earth-One's darker nature, and promises that he will always stand by Bruce when the 'right' Earth returns. Batman, however, asks Kal-L if the Dick Grayson of this Earth is a corrupted version of Kal-L's one, and attempts to use the Kryptonite ring against him. Kal-L destroys the ring and departs.[13]
Power Girl is knocked out and captured by Superboy-Prime after discovering Alexander Luthor Jr.'s tuning fork, which he plans to use to restore the Multiverse in order to search for the perfect Earth. Alexander succeeds in recreating Earth-Two, which causes Kal-L and the Earth-Two Lois, (along with the heroes who originated there), to be sent there.[14]
Soon after their arrival on Earth-Two, the Earth-Two Lois dies after telling Kal-L she was happy to have lived such a long life. Kal-El hears Kal-L's screams of sorrow from the current Earth and investigates. A griefstricken Kal-L angrily attacks Kal-El upon his arrival and blames him for corrupting Earth-Two as he did on his own Earth. During the fight, both Supermen experience lucid visions of the other's life and attempt to change things on the other's Earth for the better. However, they both eventually fail.[15][16]
After his battle with Kal-El, Kal-L realizes that a perfect Earth doesn't need a Superman and that Alexander is using him for his own purposes. Kal-L then survives the collapse of the alternate Earths into New Earth and then witnesses the death of Kon-El, which makes him realize he condemned the wrong Superboy.[17]
Kal-L and Kal-El then join forces to defeat Doomsday and Bizarro during the Secret Society's assault on Metropolis.
The two Supermen then team up to take down Superboy-Prime by dragging him into space through Krypton's red sun Rao (which cause the three of them to lose their powers), and then crash landing on the planet Green Lantern Mogo. Kal-L and Kal-El, without powers, fight Superboy-Prime on Mogo's surface, where Superboy-Prime savagely beats Kal-L to death.
Kal-El then intervenes and eventually manages to take down Superboy-Prime, who is then imprisoned by several Green Lanterns. Kal-L passes away in Power Girl's arms after telling her that he'll always be with her and whispers "Lois" as his last word.[18]
Blackest NightEdit
- Main article: Blackest Night
Kal-L and his wife Lois Lane Kent of pre-Crisis Earth-Two return to the DC Universe as soulless Black Lanterns in the midst of the Blackest Night. After killing an unknown number of residents of Smallville, they attack the Kent family by kidnapping Martha to lure his modern counterpart and Conner Kent into a confrontation. Kal-L and Lois have stated their intention, among the scheme of Black Hand and the Black Lantern Corps, is to reunite the family with Jonathan Kent in death.[19] Kal-L proves to be almost unstoppable[20], until Conner steals the Black Lantern Psycho-Pirate's Medusa Mask, using its emotion-creating powers to draw Kal-L's ring away from his body, returning Kal-L's corpse to its lifeless state once more.[21]
Kal-L's corpse is placed in Justice Society headquarters away from the Black Lanterns, his wife Black Lantern Lois tries to get close enough to her husband's body when Power Girl prevents her.[22] Black Lantern Lois sacrifices herself by removing her ring and giving it to Kal-L to reanimate him once again.[23] During the battle between Kal-L and Power Girl, Mr. Terrific creates a machine powered by Alan Scott's ring, the Helm of Nabu, Lightning's electrical abilities, and Stargirl's cosmic rod, that destroys Black Lanterns. Mr. Terrific activates the machine, which severs the Black Ring's connection to Superman.[24]
Although he was retconned out of existence by the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths and All-Star Squadron #60, he was restored to continuity in The Kingdom #2. He was killed by hero-turned-villain Superboy-Prime in Infinite Crisis #7, but later resurrected as a Black Lanturn, along with his wife Lois.
New EarthEdit
Action Comics #850 (2007) presents the latest revision of Superman's origin, since the history of the DC Universe was reset in Infinite Crisis. The new timeline is indicated to revise the complicated web of origins in a panel which shows a progression of four to five successive versions of Superman that are viewed by Kara Zor-El, clearly aping the art styles of Joe Shuster, Curt Swan, John Byrne, Dan Jurgens and Leinil Francis Yu.
Written collaboratively by Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza and Geoff Johns, the new version includes details such as Krypto's presence on Krypton, Jor-El's frustrations with the Council of Krypton refusing to evacuate the planet, Clark's awareness of his adopted status from a young age, having interacted with Lex Luthor at a younger age, Clark not being the direct cause of Lex's baldness, his wearing glasses as far back as his early teens in Smallville, and using his powers to help others at a younger age. The new version also supports the portrayal and aesthetic design of Jor-El, now similar to Marlon Brando's portrayal of the role, and Krypton, as featured in the ongoing Richard Donner co-authored arcs of Action Comics (essentially rendering Krypton closer in style to his and Bryan Singer's shared film continuity), as well as the fitting in with the discovery in The Lightning Saga that Clark was a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes during his adolescence and still retains possession of a Legion flight ring.[25] Superman is established as a founding member of the Justice League in Justice League of America (vol. 2) #0.
Superman/Batman 3: Absolute PowerEdit
Batman and Superman are the rulers of the world.A version of Superman,from an alternate reality appears and might the Superman of Earth One."Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" is a 1986 comic book story featuring the DC Comics character of Superman. The story was published in two parts, in the final issues of the series Superman (Vol. 1) (#423) and Action Comics (#583), both published in September 1986. Written by Alan Moore, pencilled by long-time Superman artist Curt Swan, and inked by George Pérez (Superman) and Kurt Schaffenberger (Action), the tale incorporates the Mort Weisinger-era style but has a distinctly modern twist. The story was intended to close the book on the original character's history subsequent to the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths and in preparation for the following The Man of Steel reboot by John Byrne, and was Swan's final major contribution to the series, though he would later occasionally return for special occasions.Superman (vol. 1) #423
The framing device of Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? is the tale of a Daily Planet reporter, Tim Crane, in the then-future year of 1997, paying a visit to former Planet reporter Lois Lane-Elliot, hoping that she, as the last person to have seen Superman alive, can shed some light on the mystery of the Man of Steel's disappearance ten years previous. The majority of the story is told in flashback, as Lois recounts for Crane the tale of Superman's final days.In After the interview is over and Crane leaves the Elliot residence, it is indirectly revealed that the mechanic Jordan Elliot, Lois' husband, is in fact Superman himself — apparently now without powers and living the life of a typical working-class suburbanite with Lois and their son Jonathan (very likely named after Jonathan Kent) — meaning he did not in fact die in the Arctic, although exactly how he did survive is never revealed. He seems to prefer the life of a normal man, finding great pleasure in his job as a car mechanic and stating, "Superman was overrated. Too wrapped up in himself. Thought the world couldn't get along without him." At his feet, his son Jonathan playfully squeezes the coal in his hand. Opening it he stares gleefully at a large, glimmering diamond. The final image is of Jordan delivering a classic "Superman" wink to the reader, as he and Lois continue to "just live happily ever after." .The elder Superman,in Superman/Batman 3: Absolute Power,maybe either of these other Supermen.The Jordan Elliot Superman is clearly linked to the Elder Superman of Absolute Power by having a similar ending as the previous tale and his costume is somewhat similar to the Golden Age Superman,to the same or a similar version.
.It could be interpreted that that the story is the end of the Earth-One Superman had the Crisis on Infinite Earths never happened is unclear either way.
Powers and abilitiesEdit
- Main article: Powers and abilities of Superman
Superman has super-strength, the power of flight, super-speed, super-breath, arctic breath, super-hearing, super-vision (including X-ray, heat, microscopic and telescopic visions), and invulnerability to any force other than magic, psionics, and Kryptonite. Red sun radiation removes his powers. An additional ability he possessed which his modern day counterpart didn't was an ability to "mold" his face to disguise himself, as chronicled in several Golden Age tales.Template:Citation needed
Originally,[26] he was significantly weaker than the Silver Age Superman of Earth-One or the Modern Age Superman; it was later revealed his powers took longer to develop or be discovered.[26] While he initially could only leap an eighth of a mile, Superman soon gained full-fledged flight by the early 1940s. By the time Kal-L met Kal-El in the late 1960s,[27] the two heroes were almost evenly matched in terms of power levels. However, almost all later renditions[28] of the Earth-Two Kal-L showed him exhibiting his more limited abilities including reliance for a time in his leaping ability while allied with the Justice Society on a case involving his cousin Power Girl and the immortal criminal Vandal Savage.[29]
Based on Superman's first origin and subsequent reference by U-Ban, this Superman came from a race of Kryptonians that inherently possessed superhuman strength, leaping ability, and some visual aptitudes while on that planet to compensate for its greater gravitation pull. Most of the Earth-Two Kal-L origin stories state his powers originated with his Kryptonian heritage and not the energy of a yellow sun (Secret Origins #1 [1986]) and retained his powers in red sun systems (Superman Family #186 and 207). A later conflicted re-interpretation stated Kal-L's powers fluctuated when under a red sun as noted in Infinite Crisis and All-Star Comics.Template:Citation needed
As a Black LanternEdit
- Main article: Power ring (DC Comics)#Black
As a Black Lantern, Kal-L's black power ring needs to be charged by feeding on the hearts of living beings within the emotional spectrum. The ring appears to have given Kal-L's body all of his previous abilities as a Kryptonian under a yellow sun would have, as well as his brain being able to recollect certain aspects of his former life. Wearing the ring, however, places Kal-L under the influences of Nekron and his disciples Scar and Black Hand.
Other versionsEdit
Template:Seealso In the final issue of 52, a new Multiverse is revealed, originally consisting of 52 identical realities. Among the parallel realities shown is one designated "Earth-2". As a result of Mister Mind "eating" aspects of this reality, it takes on visual aspects similar to the pre-Crisis Earth-Two, including an alternate Superman along with other Justice Society of America characters. However, the names of the characters and the team are not mentioned in the panel in which they appear.
Based on comments by Grant Morrison, this alternate universe is not the pre-Crisis Earth-Two.[30]
This separation was confirmed in Justice Society of America Annual #1 (2008) when during the battle between the JSA and Justice Society Infinity, it is revealed that this universe's Superman has been missing for several years after a major crisis. The Post-Crisis Earth-2 Power Girl was searching for him for years.[31]
It was revealed by Starman that the missing Post-Crisis Earth-2 Superman was still alive (Justice Society of America [second series] #23) despite being lost, unlike Kal-L who is dead.
In other mediaEdit
In the Justice League episode "Legends", the League team up with the "Justice Guild of America", an analogue of the Justice Society. JGA member Tom Turbine is a cross between Kal-L and the Golden Age Atom.[32] He also appears in the video game Justice League Heroes as an alternate costume for Superman.

Just like the old nomination form, the new nomination form also requires a Declaration & Oath from a candidate that (S)he fulfils the qualification specified in Art 62 and is not subject to the Disqualifications of Art 63.
Let's have a look at what is missing from the new Nomination?
1- Solemn Declaration on default of Loans & Utility Bills.
2- Solemn Declaration about the Spouse(s) & Dependants.
3- Ownership of company by spouse(s) & dependents.
Item 3 is of no material value as same is asked under Statements of Assets & Liabilities.
4- List of cases
5- Education qualification
6- Profession
Item 5,6 & 7 are of no material value as they have nothing to contribute in determining the eligibility of a candidate. item 7 of no value as CNIC has been asked and that is enough.
8- Income & Agri tax History is removed from New nomination forms.
9- List of foreign trips is removed from new nomination forms.
Item 9 is of no material value to the extent of determining the eligibility of a candidate.
10. information on Contribution to constituency, funding gave or received from the party is removed from new forms. It's of no value as to determine the eligibility of a candidate as giving donations to the party is not prohibited.
11. NOC on acquiring info from any foreign state is removed from the form.
12. NOC to nullify the nomination for election on providing incomplete and false info is also removed.
That's all is removed from the new nomination forms. Who did it? Parliament and not the ECP. Pls blame it on who deserves it.
Some part of those removed I think is just fine but some appear to be removed for design and for a purpose. 1. Say, NTN is not important when CNIC is there. 2. Tax History is important and should be known although it doesn't determine the eligibility.
What does a declaration under Oath means when the candidate said he is not Subject to any disqualification of art 63? Means he:
1. don't have a Dual nationality. 63(1)(c)
2. don't hold any office of profit. 63(1)(d)
3. don't have a conviction and 5 years of waiting. 63(1)(g)
4. don't have a conviction on moral turpitude and/or waiting for the 2 years from such conviction. 63(1)(h)
5. don't have a loan default over 2 million. 63(1)(n)
6. don't have govt utility default. 63(1)(o)
and some other such declarations.
Some of the info taken out from the form is actually indirectly covered in the declaration. but that's the theoretical part. Do u think a person who is willing to cheat the system, will provide such info voluntarily that may disqualify him? I doubt. He will simply withold them.
but ECP has full authority to verify and scrutinise the candidate on these terms.. so instead of asking a candidate, they go the other way, as did in 2013, they ask the respective authorities like FBR/NAB/SBP etc on key info to come from.
ECP most likely is doing same again as they had met with all stakeholders to provide such info. What bothers me is not that ECP should not ask more info…ECP can ask & should ask as much info ss it needs to scrutinise… but its how can ECP amend an Act of Parliament?
Instead of asking candidates, where they may again conceal the things, ECP probably is asking from the institutes. Iqama holders will continue to hide the iqama. Those who plan to cheat the system will do it all…asking this in the form is not as its making it difficult

We live in a digital era, and the consumer (which includes patients) has more power and a bigger voice than ever before. And due to that, many practices are facing massive online reputation problems.
The state of your online reputation has a major influence on the success of your practice. And these days, online reviews play a large role in the makeup of your online reputation. So what should you do to protect your online reputation and make sure it doesn't get damaged beyond repair?
The Power of Online Reviews
The way that people are choosing their doctors is changing. Online reviews sites, such as Google Reviews and Healthgrades, now have a growing influence on doctors' reputations and their ability to attract new patients. In fact, according to Software Advice, 72% of patients report using online reviews as the very first step to finding a new doctor. That's huge! So, essentially that means: what your current patients are saying about you can either help you attract new patients or scare away potential patients. However, many practices in the US are making several major online reputation mistakes, and those mistakes are impacting their reputation and patient acquisition in a negative way.
Online reviews sites have a growing influence on doctors' reputations and their ability to attract new patients. Click To Tweet
3 Huge Mistakes That Could Ruin Your Online Reputation
Okay, let's jump right into the meat of the presentation. My goal for this blog is to help you avoid damaging your practice's image. So I'm going to share three of the top online reputation mistakes that your practice needs to avoid.
Let's just rip the bandaid off and jump right in.
Mistake #1: Not having an online reputation strategy
If you're a physician, I'm sure you know that having a good reputation is important for growth. And assuming that your practice doesn't need an online reputation management strategy is one of the most common (and harmful) mistakes that a practice can make. Let's face it, we live in a digital era – that means that people go to social media and online review sites to voice their opinions and look for helpful information.
And just because your practice's reviews are currently positive, that doesn't mean that they will stay that way. Your online reputation can change in an instant. And the key to protecting your practice from a bad reputation, and the damage that negative online reviews can cause, is a good online reputation management strategy. And for those of you who aren't familiar with an online reputation management (ORM) strategy, it has a lot to do with your practice's online brand reputation. Essentially, it is a strategy that helps you control/manage what people on the Internet see about your practice online. Just from that quick overview, I'm sure you can see the importance of an ORM strategy.
Oh, and let me mention this – a lot of practices tend to try to figure out the problem when their number of new patients starts to decrease or their long-term patients decide to switch to a different doctor. Don't wait until things start to go south; you need to be proactive. That's why you need to have a strategy in place.
Honestly, I could write an entire blog on this one mistake, and our organization might in the future. However, for the sake of space on this blog, just remember that you need an online reputation strategy TODAY. And having a strategy in place is critical to your practice maintaining a positive brand identity in the eyes of patients.
ORM is a strategy that helps you control/manage what people on the Internet see about your practice online. Click To Tweet
Mistake #2: Ignoring Negative Reviews
If you're ignoring the negative reviews that your practice receives, stop! Make that a thing of the past.Why? Because negative online review can influence potential patients in a major way. Plus, negative reviews can severely damage your online reputation if there isn't a proper response/reaction plan in place.Don't believe that negative reviews can have such a big impact and can scare away potential patients? Numbers don't lie:
According to a BrightLocal study, a SINGLE negative review could drive away 22% of potential patients. Oh, but it gets worse. That percentage increases to 59% after just three negative reviews!
So you may not have control over what is posted, but you definitely have control over how your practice responds. That's why it's so important to respond to negative reviews, because if you don't, the patient who wrote the review will feel completely justified in his or her anger because you're not addressing the issue.
Essentially, being unresponsive can send the wrong message, and ultimately patients may feel like you don't care about the level of service and care that you provide. That's exactly what you do not want. When you see a negative review, it is your chance to address what went wrong, apologize, and see what you can do to make things right. To prospective patients, that demonstrates that you care. And truthfully, that can be the difference between someone completely writing off your practice or giving your practice a chance.
So, I think it's safe to say that negative reviews hold a lot of weight. Therefore, my best advice is this – if you want to maintain a good online reputation, your practice needs to address reviews head on. When your patients share their feedback and experiences on review sites, your practice needs to be there listening and responding. And if you don't have the bandwidth for someone on your team to handle the task, outsource it to a legitimate online reputation management company like Website4MD.
Negative reviews can severely damage your online reputation if there isn't a proper response/reaction plan in place. Click To Tweet
Mistake #3: Posting non-compliant responses to online reviews
Now this one is a biggie – a lot (and I mean A LOT) of medical practices and clinics across the nation post online review responses that are NOT HIPAA compliant. Honestly, I saved this one for last because numerous practices across the nation are making this mistake, and it can have huge consequences.
Like it or not, responding to reviews matters to patients. However, unfortunately for those in the medical profession, HIPAA laws can make it a bit more difficult to respond to reviews.
So what do you do?
You can still respond to reviews (and you should). However, you should follow a set of guidelines.
The one thing you really need to keep in mind is that your practice can't disclose any information that indicates or alludes that a reviewer is a patient. Even if a patient leaves their name and a information about a visit to your clinic, if you include any information in your response that indicates that the reviewer is/was a patient, that could get your practice in major trouble.
That makes it hard right? I know. However, posting responses that aren't HIPAA-compliant can get you in some very serious hot water, and sometimes even into legal issues.
However, one of the best tips that I can give you is to simply ask to take the conversation offline. You can have them call your office, then you (or a designated staff member) can talk with them about the situation over the phone. Another good solution would be to have your practice's legal representation look over the responses that you would like to post. And another great solution would be to partner with an online reputation management company that has experience crafting HIPAA-compliant responses. That way, you can be worry-free knowing that professionals are handling your review responses and online reputation.
Online review responses must be HIPAA compliant. Click To Tweet
The Bright(er) Side of Things
Your online reputation is important, so make sure that you have a solid plan to keep it intact. And honestly, a good starting point is simply avoiding the reputation mistakes that I mentioned above.
And in today's society where 72% of new patients select their doctors based on online reviews, it's important that your online reputation reflects the quality of care and service that your practice actually provides. That's where Website4MD can help. If you choose to partner with a medical online reputation services company, our team would be happy to help you avoid the common online reputation mistakes mentioned above.

Andy Warhol Drag and Draw
The Unknown Fifties
Distributed for Hirmer Publishers
In the first of these series, Warhol drew an ensemble of spirited women derived from photographs of both stage divas and men in drag. He delved deeper into the art of dressing as the opposite sex with his second series, a set of portraits of men posing in high and low drag. This book considers the importance of drag to Warhol's work and its debt to photographs that his friend, photographer Otto Fenn, staged explicitly for Warhol's use. Featuring numerous unpublished Warhol drawings and newly discovered photographic sources, Drag & Draw offers a fascinating view of New York drag culture in the closeted 1950s.
"Just when you thought there wasn't anything new to learn about Warhol, this book offers an insightful, informative look back at these portraits by the artist as a young man."

Fourteenth century Persian Sufi Poet Hafiz said, in one of his many beautiful verses, "People say that on hearing the song the soul entered the body, but in reality the soul itself was the song."
If you read this and feel a deep sigh of longing, as if you wish this were true but it does not feel that way, take hope. We do not access, on our own, the felt truth of sayings like this. We need the song to awaken us to the soul actually being the song. This is one reason why we sing hymns in church or, among native peoples, in creating sacred space, at the start of a ceremony or ritual.
The song here can also be a metaphor for love in the soul. This can be awakened in many ways, such as the love of other people in community or in our daily spiritual practice. One example of the latter is "Metta," an ancient Buddhist form of prayer that means "loving kindness."
In this prayer, the one praying repeats to herself the phrases, "May I be filled with loving kindness, May I be well, May I be peaceful and at ease, May I be happy." Practiced regularly, the phrases generate in the soul a reverence for itself. This may sound a little odd, but all of us have a tendency to slip off center in the midst of life's "slings and arrows." By nourishing our souls in this way, we keep alive the awareness that we ourselves are the song.
As the practice deepens, I am given to perceive the tendrils of darkness that creep in and cloud my vision of the soul's beauty. In tandem with this growing awareness, though, is the deepening clarity we have about love's desire to dispel our sadness and celebrate us. Christians may be familiar with The Parable of the Prodigal Son, where the ungrateful son demands his share of his inheritance early, goes off and squanders it, then returns, hat in hand, hoping his father will take him back. To his delight, his father not only takes him back into his home, but adorns him with the clothing of high paternal approval and serves a feast to celebrate his son's return.
This is how love, at the center and source of the universe, sees and delights in us, and this is how best to perceive ourselves. At first we do this more on the level of taking it on faith, then, gradually, it awakens to our consciousness in a felt way.
Filled with this awareness, we find ourselves possessing the inclination to celebrate others, to rejoice over them because we see the same beauty in them that we see in ourselves. This is true even when we face someone who might otherwise strike us as "not our type."
To revisit Hafiz, "No one could ever paint/A too wonderful/ picture of my heart/ or God."

First increment set for February 25
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, Dec. 31, 2008) – Nurses throughout the country will receive their long awaited salary increments through the salary reclassification early next year.
They resolved through their national office, the PNG Nurses Association (PNGNA) early this month that they would walk off their jobs starting this morning.
The salary increment will take effect on February 25.
The government departments including the national Department of Health, Department of Personnel Management and the Department of Treasury intervened with a positive response to their demand, restraining them from going on strike.
The increase would be a follow up of their work value study report, a classification of the nurses' salary structure.
These were submitted to Health and Personnel Management but that was not done in 2000 when their award for a salary increase was agreed to.
This award will be implemented effective as of February 25.
This has come about after a long series of negotiations between the departments and the PNG Nurses Association.
The salary level will be higher than the current one and will be effective for all nurses in the public health sector, both members and non members of PNGNA.
"PNGNA would like the implementation to be effective between now and early January.
"Information received from the Government indicated that at this stage it was not possible for the salary increment till the end of February," PNGNA president Eimi Kaptigau said.
She said that the PNGNA had urged all the nurses in the country to continue providing services in the hospitals between now and February while waiting for their salary increase.
Ms Kaptigau said the PNGNA would continue with a good relationship with the Government and allow the implementation and review for the nurses award to proceed.
"Nurses throughout the country have been recognised as important and efforts are being made to have the reports fast tracked on time," she said.
Ms Kaptigau called on the nurses not to take any strike action as it might jeopardise PNGNA's negotiations with the Government.
The Acting Health Secretary, Mark Mauludu assured the nurses association and its executives in a letter that the process and the associated timeline for consideration, determination and settlement of the payment of the awards for the nurses would unfold as of January 5 next year.
The timeline includes the first draft of submission for the salary condition monitoring committee on January 5.
It also includes award costing and funding verification on January 8, the final drafting of the submission to be made to the committee on
January 9, the SCMC meeting on January 12 and that the award implementation would begin on February 25.
"President, I reassure you of the commitment of NDoH and DPM with the support from the Treasury department to comply with the formal process," Mr. Mauludu said in his letter to the nurses association president.
He said this would be in a manner that "can bring this matter to a speedy and mutual conclusion".

CT Looks to Promote a 'Strong and Healthy' Community for Local Dairy Farmers
Putting the WOW back in MOO.
Tax and spend is not a concept unique to Connecticut. With the recent legislative session coming to a close and a budget passing, there still is work to be done in our state in regards to numerous programs. A recent announcement from the Governor seems to take some pressure off a very important section of Connecticut.
This press release announcement from The Office of the Governor should spell relief for Connecticut's dairy farmers. Governor Malloy has enacted his administrative powers to restore over one-million-dollars in grant funding for dairy farmers that had been cut from the state budget, saying the following:
A strong and healthy farming community is integral to a strong and healthy Connecticut. That's why it's important that the state partners with our hardworking dairy farmers who are challenged by a combination of volatile milk prices coupled with the high production costs. The legislature recognized this when they restored funding for next fiscal year and today, my administration is taking action to restore funding the current year
I have family that work hard to make a living in the farming world, and having a safety net of sorts is integral to keeping the farm alive. Hats off to our legislatures for understanding how critical this grant money is.

My Inspirational Youth Journey started back in April when I sent my application off for a place on the course.
I had to produce a short video of myself which I had lots of fun doing! Out of all the other applicants I made it down to the last twenty five.
From there I attended an assessment day in London where I had to present a cut and colour to a panel of six judges. For me speaking in public is a huge deal as I've no experience with it, I was so nervous! I had three minutes to try and wow the judges to secure my place in the top ten. I wanted to do my best and show them what I'm capable of, for me most importantly I wanted to show my passion for the industry. Skills and technique can be progressed with the right attitude.
After a very long and anxious week of waiting to hear to back from them to see if I'd made it to the final ten, words couldn't describe my excitement and how happy I was to have made into the final team. I couldn't wait to go to London and work with the Tigi Creative Team for a week.
Throughout the week we covered session styling with Maria Kovacs, Akos Bodi, presentation skills with Mike Esa, creative cut and colouring and a casting day for choosing our models. On the very last day we did a photo shoot, I loved it, it was amazing. We all had one model each whose hair we dressed and then shot. Everything was so professional and it just gave me another view of the industry that I'd never seen before.
Seeing the creative team work in person is indescribable - they are all so amazing and it's so inspiring! All I can say is that every day was amazing and I learnt so much, not just in skills but also in confidence. By the end of the week we were all presenting as if we'd been doing it for ages.
I can't wait to go go back down to London on the 9th Nov which is where we'll be presenting and working on stage in front of an audience at Cafe De Paris. We've got to present a cut and colour. It's been an amazing journey so far!

I can't tell you the percentages in 192, but assuming you only use good (unlettered) mods and good enhancements (with low endurance and high secondary stat, i.e. token enhancements), here's what you should aim for:
Secondary Stats (crit vs. power): 230-250 crit, rest power
Tertiary Stats:
7 slots of accuracy
1 slot of alacrity
2 slots of surge
(the ten slots for tertiary stats are: 1 earpiece, 2 implants, 1 enhancement each in helmet, jacket, gloves, trousers, shoes, mainhand, offhand).
This tertiary stat distribution is btw a very good starting point for ALL dps specs in the game. Only level of crit varys. So you could basically simplify dps gearing in that respect *hinthint* ;-)
In 198 you push Crit to 250 and drop one slot of accuracy in favour of surge, so you have:
6 slots of accuracy
1 slot of alacrity
3 slots of surge
In order to push accuracy to the required level you use on accuracy augment instead of mainstat/power.

A state government plan for the North-East's rail trail and heritage railway already has the 'right balance', says Treasurer Peter Gutwein.
At the City of Launceston council meeting on September 24, councillors voted in favor of a recommendation to change the route for both projects.
The new route would have the heritage railway run from Turners Marsh to Wyena, and bike rail trail extending from Lilydale Falls to Lilydale.
The state government's plan original plan was for the heritage rail to run between Coldwater Creek, Turners Marsh, and Lilydale, and rail trail between Lilydale Falls and Scottsdale.
Mr Gutwein said he noted the council agreed with the state government's assessment that both projects had capacity to generate economic and employment benefits for the state's North.
"The government's policy in respect of both projects strikes the right balance and maximises the chances of both projects becoming viable tourist attractions servicing the state's North-East," he said.
Following the council meeting, the City of Launceston will contact the Dorset Council and the Launceston and North-East Railway organisation to urge them to work together on the projects in an attempt for the two successfully coexist.
The council will also urge the Dorset Council to seek extra funding from the state government.
Dorset mayor Greg Howard said the City of Launceston's recommendation did not make a difference to his region.

When everything is streaming easily, life is great. What's more, we're not simply talking great hair days or an immaculate introduction at work. Your stomach related tract tallies as well. Yet, when it's twisted, it could influence — you got it — the scale.
"Gastrointestinal and stomach related problems can largy affect the manner in which we eat and how our bodies assimilate and digest sustenances, making us put on or shed pounds," says Kenneth Dark colored, M.D., a board-affirmed gastroenterologist. "Most stomach related issues will in general reason weight reduction from poor ingestion of sustenance, however there are a couple of circumstances where our intestinal wellbeing can add to weight gain."
In the event that the number on the scale is changing and you truly aren't sure why, one of these normal stomach related problems could be the guilty party.
1. Heartburn Illness
Otherwise called gastroesophageal reflux illness (GERD), this causes an agonizing consuming sensation, or indigestion, in the lower chest when stomach corrosive ascents back up into your throat. What's more, for individuals who experience the ill effects of it, the expression "comfort sustenance" takes on a totally different significance on the grounds that the demonstration of eating can really help diminish torment. "Eating gives brief alleviation in light of the fact that both the nourishment you're eating, and the salivation from really biting that sustenance, kills corrosive," clarifies Dark colored. The main issue? When the nourishment's been processed, every one of the indications — swelling, sickness, and hiccups that won't vanish — will in general return, and they're normally progressively forceful due to bounce back corrosive generation. But since individuals need assistance, Dark colored says it's anything but difficult to get sucked into a hazardous cycle of gorging that prompts weight gain.
The fix: While a lot of online sources state home cures like apple juice vinegar or aloe vera can help, Dark colored says there's no logical proof to help those ideas. Rather, he prescribes taking an over-the-counter medicine, for example, Prilosec or Zantac (your specialist can enable you to pick which is best for you), which don't have weight gain as a typical symptom. What's more, in the event that despite everything you wind up indulging, attempt these fixes to help break the cycle.
2. Ulcers
These awkward injuries — otherwise called duodenal ulcers — normally create in the covering of the stomach or small digestive system, and it's generally a result of a lot of corrosive generation. What's more, much the same as with GERD, eating nourishment can improve the agonizing manifestations — including swell and steady queasiness — on the grounds that it incidentally coats the ulcer with a defensive covering and kills the stomach corrosive, clarifies Su Sachar, M.D., a board-affirmed gastroenterologist who has some expertise in bariatrics, wellbeing, and ideal wellbeing. What's more, to re-express the self-evident, in case you're eating all the more regularly, those abundance calories can prompt weight gain.
The fix: To exile ulcers, see your specialist about the best solution for you, which may include a corrosive blocking medicine — otherwise known as an enemy of corrosive — like Prilosec or Zantec, says Sachar. What's more, quit taking nonsteroidal mitigating medications or NSAID torment relievers like ibuprofen or headache medicine, as they could cause inner draining and be hazardous to those with ulcers. Rather, decide on acetaminophen, or Tylenol, when you need assistance with agony the board.
3. Clogging
When you're halted up, that overloaded inclination you get could be weight gain. However, there's uplifting news: your body isn't really retaining more calories, says Dark colored, so it's but rather evident weight gain it is additional fecal issue, which is the thing that could be adding a couple of pounds to the scale. Also that clogging itself doesn't actually give us the inspiration to hit the rec center and squash an exercise. Or maybe, almost certainly, you're feeling drowsy and substantial… and the lounge chair is calling your name.
The fix: To remain, blunder, normal, Darker recommends adhering to a decent eating routine of entire nourishments that have in any event 25 to 30 grams of fiber for each day, remaining great hydrated (attempt to drink one to two liters of water for each day), and exercise consistently. On the off chance that something doesn't appear to be very right, take a gander at these signs for what it could mean, and think about conversing with your doctor.
4. Microscopic organisms Abundance
Hold on for us — this one isn't exactly as gross as it sounds. Fundamentally, your entrail contains both great and terrible microbes, and research demonstrates that the great kind assumes a significant job in your general wellbeing by diminishing aggravation and holding your weight under tight restraints. The issue happens when the measure of microscopic organisms increments, or when the sort of microorganisms gets rattled. (For ideal wellbeing, it's ideal to consider it like a teeter-totter — best when the great and awful is completely adjusted.) When that occurs, what's known as little intestinal bacterial excess (SIBO) can happen, and it can cause weight gain in two different ways, says Dark colored.
To start with, the microorganisms could deliver methane gas, which "hinders the general capacity of the small digestive tract, permitting the intestinal villi — little, finger-like projections in the coating of your digestive system — to assimilate more calories per nibble," he clarifies. As such, the careful inverse of what you need to occur. Second, SIBO can hinder digestion and influence your insulin and leptin obstruction, the two of which help control craving and satiety. Therefore, you're probably going to long for carbs and presumably won't feel full in the wake of eating, regardless of whether it's a completely fulfilling dinner, says Sachar.
The fix: To stay away from SIBO, Darker recommends dodging anti-infection agents except if totally required (as the name proposes, these prescriptions murder off microscopic organisms, which you possibly truly need in case you're wiped out to recover the teeter-totter in parity). In the event that microscopic organisms excess is as of now occurring, however, your specialist may recommend a stomach related home grown enhancement like Atrantil to enable you to refocus.
5. Peevish Entrail Disorder (IBS)
The term IBS gets hurled around a ton nowadays, as "it's the most normally analyzed GI condition, and it regularly covers with other stomach related issues like sustenance sensitivities, a defective gut, and an awkwardness of good and awful microscopic organisms," says Sachar. What's more, similar to obstruction (a side effect of IBS), it can cause swell and perpetual aggravation, which, by and by, could prompt weight gain.
The fix: For individuals who are determined to have IBS, it's tied in with getting to the foundation of the issue. Your specialist can work with you to develop the great microorganisms you need with probiotics, and add stomach related catalysts to help separate sustenance so it's not simply lounging around in your gut causing aggravation, clarifies Sachar. Dark colored says it could be useful to attempt a sans gluten or low gas-delivering diet, as FODMAP, as it can help decrease swelling and help get any superfluous weight increase leveled out.
6. Crohn's Malady
While a littler craving and over the top weight reduction are normal manifestations of Crohn's infection — a hopeless perpetual fiery conditions — the accurate inverse can occur when somebody gets put on a treatment that includes steroids, which is generally the initial phase in attempting to discover a prescription that works for you, says Sachar.
"Steroids will in general increment your longings for carbs and cause you to clutch more water and feel enlarged," says Sachar.
Luckily, it's normally not all that intense to lose the weight once you're off steroids. That generally occurs when an erupt — or the return of side effects like looseness of the bowels, stoppage, rectal dying, and fever — die down and manifestations are better leveled out.
The fix: As a matter of first importance, your general wellbeing could easily compare to a couple of pounds on the scale, so following your specialist's requests is basic. Be that as it may, a few specialists do bashful far from steroid use, similar to Dark colored, as he probably is aware the reactions can be not exactly alluring. Each patient reacts distinctively to drug, however, so converse with your own doctor to perceive what works best for you.
7. Gastroparesis
Frequently connected with the individuals who have type 1 or sort 2 diabetes, gastroparesis — otherwise called postponed gastric purging — is a turmoil that "moderates or prevents the development of nourishment from the stomach to the small digestive tract," as per the National Establishment of Diabetes and Stomach related and Kidney Illnesses. Since typical assimilation can't happen, it's regular to feel like you're putting on weight because of totality and swelling in the stomach region, however the turmoil most generally prompts weight reduction at last.
The fix: As indicated by the American School of Gastroenterology, diet is a standout amongst the most significant factors in treating gastroparesis. Since greasy and fiber-filled nourishments take more time to process, it's suggested that anybody with as far as possible or maintains a strategic distance from those sustenances inside and out. In any case, since this is a genuine condition, it's ideal to talk with your specialist to perceive what the best treatment alternatives are for you.
8. Nourishment Bigotry
In the event that you've seen your body is effectively chafed by specific sustenances, there's a decent possibility you have a nourishment narrow mindedness. Unique in relation to a sustenance hypersensitivity, which is an insusceptible framework reaction, nourishment narrow mindedness influences the stomach related framework, making it difficult to process and separate certain nourishments (the most well-known being dairy), says the Cleveland Facility. Those with a nourishment bigotry frequently experience gas, spasms, and swelling, making it feel like they're putting on weight. Contingent upon how extreme the sustenance narrow mindedness is, they may likewise encounter looseness of the bowels.
The fix: While you may feel super enlarged and awkward for the duration of the day in light of your eating routine, you may not really be putting on weight. The Cleveland Center suggests maintaining a strategic distance from or diminishing the sustenances you believe are giving you issues, and on the off chance that you do finish up eating something that disturbs your stomach, take an acid neutralizer.
9. Ulcerative Colitis
In spite of the fact that Crohn's ailment can spring up anyplace between the mouth and the butt, UCLA Wellbeing says ulcerative colitis remains in the colon, bringing about an always aggravated stomach related tract that can at first lead to weight reduction. Like Crohn's, however, the treatment for the incendiary inside illness — steroids — could make your body put on weight.
"An oral steroid like Prednisone can likewise cause your muscle versus fat to redistribute itself, so rather than it being in your stomach or glutes, it could move to the face or neck," says Sachar.
Despite the fact that you may see a distinction in your weight amid treatment, everything ought to return down to typical when you're ready to get off the steroids.
The fix: In the wake of addressing your specialist, discover a treatment plan that is directly for you and the seriousness of your ulcerative colitis — one that could conceivably include steroids. While progressively moderate to serious structures may be treated with steroids, 5-aminosalicylates and immunosuppressant drugs are additionally choices. Whatever you end up utilizing, realize your prosperity is top need. On the off chance that that includes picking up a couple of pounds to better your wellbeing, it's justified, despite all the trouble.
