Obama vs. Romney go app vs. app on iPhone

The U.S. presidential election is going mobile, with both Democratic President Barak Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney fielding iPhone apps this week to inform their respective bases and, dare we hope, the greater electorate. They're two very different apps from two very different parties and candidates, so let's take a look at them both...

The Democrat's app is Obama for America, and focuses on campaign messaging.

We?re building this campaign from the ground up, and the Obama 2012 app has all the tools you need to join the fight to move the country forward:

The Republican's app is Mitt's VP, and focuses on who'll be chosen as running mate. (And is also available for Android.)

It?s a question everyone?s asking: who will be Mitt Romney?s VP? There?s no telling when that answer might come. But when it does, be the first to find out and access exclusive content with the Mitt?s VP app.

Now I'm Canadian, where we have 238 parties, a non-elected senate, and no direct way to choose the leader of our country (the majority leader runs the place), so I have no candidate in this race. Still, I'm happy to see something as important as a national election embracing technology and mobile, and understanding the importance of reaching out to the type of people who use apps, read iMore and Mobile Nations, and regardless of political leanings, will help shape the future.

So whether you're passionate or pragmatic, you country is getting ready to call on your vote, so here's hoping everyone downloads both apps (and all apps associated with the campaigns), carefully scrutinizes both candidates across the full range of issues, and makes whatever Hobson's choice they ultimately feel is best for them and for America. (Aside from drafting Tim Cook, of course...)

Go get 'em.

The day before their wedding, Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson of Jackson, MS, were told that they would have to find a new location for the event because, as the pastor put it, other members were uncomfortable with a black couple being married there.?

The First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs does not exclude black members, which is precisely why pastor?Stan Weatherford was so shocked by the response to the wedding. Aiming to do the right thing, Weatherford?performed the ceremony at a different church.?

The church will conduct internal meetings to decide how to proceed. As expected, nobody is willing to come forward and admit to having an issue with a "black wedding," but there were reportedly five or six people who voiced just that complaint. A number of members have spoken out against the decision after the fact, saying they were unaware of it.

What's truly unfortunate about the situation is that Te'Andrea Wilson had been attending First Baptist for a year along with her father, and her uncle was a custodian at the church.

dackinlerry · ScienceDaily (July 30, 2012)

ScienceDaily (July 30, 2012) ? When the longest cells in the body are injured at their farthest reaches, coordinating the cells' repair is no easy task. This is in part because these peripheral nerve cells can be extremely long -- up to one meter in adult humans -- which is a lot of distance for a molecular distress signal to cover in order to reach the "command center" of the cell's nucleus.

Scientists have believed this process to be even more challenging because their textbook understanding for many years has been that the axons -- the long extensions of nerve cells away from the main cell body containing the nucleus -- do not manufacture the proteins involved in the molecular signal themselves. Yet, in recent years, some scientists have begun to challenge that textbook understanding, with preliminary evidence that one key protein involved in setting off a distress signal for cellular repair, known as importin beta1, was locally produced in the axons. They just weren't sure how.

"Now these textbooks need to be rewritten," said Dr. Jeffery Twiss, a professor and head of the department of biology in Drexel University's College of Arts and Sciences. Twiss co-authored new research recently published in Neuron, led by collaborators from the Weizmann Institute of Science. "Our new research is one of the strongest indicators yet of molecular signaling from end to end in peripheral nerve cells."

These researchers have provided strong new evidence that the protein importin beta1 is indeed produced locally in the axons of peripheral nerve cells. They also found that the version of the protein, when found in the axon, is made using a different molecular recipe than the version found in the nucleus, where it performs different essential cell functions. These discoveries may help scientists better understand how subsequent steps operate in the distress signal and in nerve cell repair, so they can eventually control and enhance the process to speed up recovery from nerve injuries.

Finding this evidence was far from simple: Importins are so crucial in the cell's nucleus that even the smallest embryo could not survive without them. But Rotem Ben-Tov Perry, a research student at the Weizmann Institute who was lead author of the new study, found a way to distinguish the importin beta1 in the cell body from that in the axon: The axonal protein was apparently made from a longer version of messenger RNA, the cell's working recipe for building a protein. To see if they could selectively affect just the axonal version of the protein, the Weizmann researchers worked with Drexel's Twiss to take advantage of high precision knock-out technology. Rather than knocking a whole gene out of the system, they managed to remove one little piece of the messenger RNA's recipe for manufacturing importins- just the longer bit that sends the RNA to the axon.

Now they observed plenty of importin beta1 in the cell body, but none in the axons. With the axonal segment of RNA knocked out of the recipe for importin beta1, a mouse embryo still had the importin it needed near the nucleus of its cells to grow and develop into a living animal -- but it took much longer to recover from peripheral nerve injury. Genes that are normally active in response to nerve damage were activated to a lesser degree. All of this suggests that the importin beta1 that normally helps inform the extended nerve cell about injury is, indeed, produced locally in the axon -- and that this protein found in the axon is a key part of the nerve repair signaling process.

"The data shows conclusively that importin beta1 protein is produced in axons, Rotem's work has validated the importins' crucial role in nerve repair," said Dr. Michael Fainzilber, senior author and professor at the Weizmann Institute.

Twiss said that next steps will be to better describe how the signaling process involving importin beta1 delivers a signal to begin nerve cell repair and, ultimately, develop strategies to better control these molecular steps of the repair mechanisms to improve nerve cell regeneration after injury.

The Olympics brand police are currently running around London in Adidas trainers with Samsung smartphones, dousing Londoners in Coca-Cola while shoving McDonald's fries into the stunned, open mouths of any onlookers.

Official branding is important to the powers that be at LOCOG, prompting it to release a list of phrases prohibited from use without its say-so. They are:

"Olympic", "Olympian", "Olympiad", "Paralympic", "Paralympian", "Paralympiad" their plurals, translations and anything similar to them.
"Backing the 2012 Games", "Supporting the London Games"
Any two List A words or any word from List A and List B in the same sentence:
- LIST A: "Games", "Two Thousand and Twelve", "2012", "Twenty-Twelve"
- LIST B: "London", "medals", "sponsors", "summer", "gold", "silver", "bronze"

Here, we celebrate the App Store games happily sticking two fingers in the direction of LOCOG's brand guidelines in order to milk Olympic fever in a number of increasingly creative ways. We've even awarded them Gold, Silver and bronze medal later on. Take that, The Man...

8th: ZooOlympic

Zoo Olympic's events include Sea Escape, Enjoy Flying, Memory Card and Eat Meat - therefore using the word Olympic at the risk of enraging LOCOG for almost no reason at all. We respect this level of flippancy.

ZATAARI, Jordan (AP) ? Jordan says it has opened its first tent camp for Syrians fleeing violence in their country, saying a surge of refugees forced it to do so.

Authorities had been reluctant to set up the camps, possibly to avoid angering Syrian President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime by concentrating images of civilians fleeing his military onslaught.

But with 142,000 Syrians seeking refuge and their numbers growing daily by up to 2,000, Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said Sunday that Jordan had no other choice. He spoke at the camp's opening ceremony in the hamlet of Zataari, about 11 kilometers (7 miles) from the northern border with Syria.

About of 500-700 refugees will be admitted to the camp after breaking the Ramadan fast later Sunday, the UNHCR representative to Jordan Andrew Harper said.

Steve Jobs never had much tolerance for employees who leaked the company's plans, but on one occasion, it was actually Jobs who came close to blowing the lid off a product, according to a former employee we spoke with.

Shortly before Jobs and Apple unveiled the original iPhone at MacWorld in 2007, a group of engineers from the iPhone team went to Jobs' home to debug a problem with the phone's WiFi.?

At one point while the team was working, a FedEx employee buzzed outside the house to deliver a package to Jobs.

"Steve goes out to meet him because he has to sign for this package, but he's got the iPhone in one of his hands," said a former Apple employee was with the iPhone team at the time. "Steve just walks out casually, [hides] the phone behind his back, signs the package, and the FedEx dude marches off."

The idea that Jobs would walk outside carrying an iPhone in plain sight shocked this employee, given how much effort Apple put into keeping the product secret at all costs.

"You have to understand, when we carried the phones to his house, we carried them in these Pelican lock boxes," the employee told Business Insider. "These phones were never to leave Apple's campus, and Steve just casually throws it behind his back. That was the first time I saw someone casually come close to seeing the iPhone before it was announced, and he didn't even know it. If the FexEx guy had just tilted his head, he would have seen it."

Here's the full story, as told to us by the employee:

We had a problem with the WiFi on an early build of the iPhone. Steve had this house that was just a no man's land for WiFi, with thick walls. It finally got to the point where we were fried and panicky because MacWorld was coming up, so we decided to go and debug at Steve's house.

When we got there, Steve was sitting in his car in the driveway rocking out to some really loud music. The car was off, he was just listening. When we he saw us, he turned off the music, popped out of the car, and said, "Hey guys!" We went into his house and started debugging the problem. Then all of the sudden, this crazy ass medieval buzzer starts going off and startles us, and even startled Steve. He quickly figured out it was coming from the pedestrian gate on the other side of his house.

Up walks the happiest FedEx guy you have ever seen, coming up to the door. It's not Steve's normal guy, which is why he was surprised. So Steve goes out to meet him because he has to sign for this package, but he's got the iPhone in one of his hands. Steve just walks out casually, drops the phone behind his back, signs the package, and the FedEx dude marches off.

Now you have to understand, when we carried the phones to his house, we carried them in these Pelican lock boxes. These phones were never to leave Apple's campus, and Steve just casually throws it behind his back. That was the first time I saw someone casually come close to seeing the iPhone before it was announced, and he didn't even know it. If the FedEx guy had just tilted his head, he would have seen it.

Researchers from the University of Kentucky have designed and discovered a series of highly efficient enzymes that effectively metabolize cocaine. These high-activity cocaine-metabolizing enzymes could potentially prevent cocaine from producing physiological effects, and could aid in the treatment of drug dependency. The results of this study by Chang-Guo Zhan et al are published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology.

The effectiveness of the enzymes' work was evaluated through modeling cocaine pharmacokinetics, the study of the body's action on administered external substances, such as cocaine, when the enzyme exists in the body. As there is no FDA-approved anti-cocaine medication, the medical and social consequences of cocaine abuse have made the development of anti-cocaine medication a high priority. Administration of an enzyme to enhance cocaine metabolism has been recognized as a promising treatment strategy for overdose and abuse. A remarkable feature of the enzyme-based therapeutic approach is that one enzyme molecule can degrade many thousands of drug molecules per minute.

This pharmacokinetic modelling is a crucial step of enzyme-based therapy development for cocaine abuse. Furthermore, the general insights of the research should also be valuable for future development of an enzyme therapy for any addictive drug, as the general methodology of the modelling may be used to develop valuable models for evaluating the effectiveness of metabolic enzymes in detoxifying other drugs.

LONDON (AP) ? Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you:

___

LIKE A FARMYARD

The animals have just come into the stadium. That is 70 sheep, 12 horses, 10 chickens and nine geese. One of those horses is a shire horse. The music is starting to build and there are camera flashes all around the stadium. What will the animals make of that?

MANY COLORS

They've come from all over for these games and this opening ceremony. Fans seen filing into Olympic Stadium wearing the colors of Canada, Mexico, Poland, Italy, Russia, Germany, Brazil and seemingly all points in between.

That includes the most well-represented nation, of course: Team GB.

? Jon Krawczynski ? Twitter http://www.twitter.com/APkrawczynski

___

NO RAIN - YET

There's been so much talk about the British weather and if rain would spoil the opening ceremony. Well, it's still anyone's guess.

AP's John Krawczynski, outside the main stadium in Olympic Park, says: "It's cool with a light breeze and no rain. But it does feel as though it could rain at any moment."

? Jon Krawczynski ? Twitter http://twitter.com/APkrawczynski

ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE

The atmosphere is absolutely electric. We have already had a few attempts at doing the wave. Crew members in white coveralls and painter hats are parading these clouds around the stadium. Music up. Cheers up. scenes playing on the screens of past Olympians and young kids.

? Danica Kirka ? Twitter http://twitter.com/danicakirka

___

CEREMONY SECURITY

Security lines, or lack thereof, are moving easily at the Olympic Park. It does feel a bit like stumbling onto a military base ? fresh-faced young soldiers in uniform are everywhere, and every single X-ray machine and scanner is manned by soldiers rather than other organizing committee staff.

So many soldiers that some are just standing around, waiting for a crushof spectators that has not yet materialized.

PRESIDENTIAL FRIENDS

Maya Moore has spent so much time with the Obama family, she could be an honorary member.

She was the only female basketball player invited to play with the President in a game to celebrate his 49th birthday in 2010. She also did a soon to be released public service announcement with Michelle Obama in May supporting the "Let's Move!" campaign.

The two shared a hug and chatted for a few minutes Friday morning after the first lady opened her stint as leader of the U.S. Olympics delegation attending a breakfast with Olympians.

"That was a little treat," Moore says. "Any time I can see the president or first lady it's such a treat. She's someone who you can relate to because she's very active and enjoys sports. We know that whole family loves basketball."

EXCITED

Less than an hour before showtime and excited visitors are filing into Olympic Stadium.

Tarik Lacene, a Canadian who lives in London, scored tickets to the opening ceremony.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Lacene says. "It's amazing to think that over 1 billion people will be watching it on TV and we're actually here."

THE ANTICIPATION

From AP's Fergus Bell in place and awaiting the opening ceremony:

"A Mexican wave just started. The crowd are getting fired up. The scene is set on the stage in front of me depicting a rural idyll. There are tractors and a water wheel. There is a small cottage in the middle with two smoking chimneys. I have seen similar scenes in the English countryside but this looks a little cleaner, a little more fairytale.

? Fergus Bell ? Twitter http://twitter.com/fergb

GETTING THERE

AP's Cassandra Vinograd reports from the streets ? well, the railway tracks ? of London:

This reporter was in a bit of a panic ? left work late and wondered how she would ever get through the crowds to board a train to Olympic Park.

But tubes were not crowded and St. Pancras International, where you catch the high speed Javelin train, is a breeze. There were no lines whatsoever to get on the Javelin ? despite crowd-flow measures (barricades, like what airports use for long check-in lines). The line spaces were all empty.

The only glitch was a few travelers grumbling over a broken ticket machine, leaving only one working dispenser on the Javelin platform.

But no worries in the end. With so few jostling for space, everyone got a ticket in time.

NO KNOCKOFFS

Egypt's Olympic team won't be wearing knockoffs after all at the London Games.

Nike announced Friday it was donating its gear to the Egyptian athletes. This after the country's committee chairman said they'd turned to a Chinese distributor because the real thing was just too expensive.

Not so during the opening ceremony, though. Nike's shipment isn't due to arrive in London until Saturday.

WHITE RIBBONS

The widow of Alexander Litvinenko, the exiled former Russian agent who died from a mysterious case of radiation poisoning, is calling on Londoners to protest Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to the Olympics.

Litvinenko issued a statement shortly before his 2006 death, accusing Putin of ordering him to be poisoned. He had been living in London since fleeing Russia in 2000. In a book written in exile, he accused Russia's main security agency, for which he once worked, of staging the 1999 apartment building bombings that were blamed on Chechen rebels and used as a justification for starting the second Chechen war.

British-Russian relations suffered a serious setback in 2007 after Russia refused to extradite the man that Britain named as the main suspect in Litvinenko's death.

Marina Litvinenko on Friday issued a statement saying "Mr. Putin's agents killed my husband" and called on Londoners wo wear white ribbons, the emblem of the Russian opposition, to proest Putin's visit Aug. 2 that is to include watching the judo.

___

WHERE TO WATCH?

AP's Jenna Fryer reports from the streets of London:

Is there no such thing as a sports bar here?

Looking for a pub where I can hang with the locals and watch the opening ceremony is proving to be more challenging than I expected.

Since arriving, I've noticed that not that many pubs have televisions, so I've had to ask around for recommendations for the ceremonies. The first two I called ? one of which was the favorite watering hole of the late Amy Winehouse ? said they had no plans to show the ceremonies. "Tonight's just a regular pub night," I was told.

It seemed strange to see bars without TV's, but to not have such a big event blaring from every television in the country tonight is just bizarre.

PREPPED FOR HISTORY

Double-amputee runner Oscar Pistorius has arrived in London for his historic debut at the Olympics and says he's feeling "a mixture of pride, happiness and anticipation" at the end of his long journey to compete at the highest level in able-bodied competition.

Pistorius made the short flight across from his training camp in northern Italy and says he's "really excited" to attend the opening ceremony.

The South African has been battling for four years to reach the 2012 games. He was cleared to compete against able-bodied competitors on his carbon fiber blades in 2008, ran two qualifying times for London in the last 12 months, but missed out on the crucial third under his country's strict qualifying criteria.

But the selectors had a last-minute change of heart weeks before the games and picked him for the individual 400 meters as well as the 4x400 relay.

In an email to the AP, Pistorius says: "This feels like a long time coming and I am ready! This is going to be, I hope, an incredible few weeks of my life."

His first run at the Olympics will be in the 400 heats on Aug. 4. It'll be history.

FOOD WITH NO NAME

Food choices are simple at the ExCel arena, the giant convention center hosting seven Olympic disciplines. Because McDonald's has exclusive rights to sell branded products, the dozen concessions at the venue are prohibited from using a specific name.

So, here's what's on offer on large signs:

?"Traditional Roast."

?"Sandwich."

?"Bagel"

?"Italian" or "Chinese."

? "Baked Potato" ? which, by the way, is often called a "jacket potato" in these parts.

KEEP DREAM-ING

You get the sense that LeBron James doesn't want to hear another word about it.

"Who's better ? 1992 or 2012?" That's been a talking point for weeks, the comparison between the 1992 Dream Team that went to Barcelona and this year's Olympic team.

"It's never going to happen," James said Friday of a hypothetical game between the two teams. "It doesn't matter how much conversation that we have about this team and the '92 Dream Team. It's never going to be played. Father Time is not going to allow that to happen. So it doesn't even matter."

That wasn't his way of downplaying expectations about what to expect from the U.S. squad in London.

Quite the contrary.

James, who won the NBA MVP award, the NBA Finals MVP award and led the Miami Heat to the title this past season, is fully expecting to add Olympic gold to his unbelievable year.

"I know one thing," James said. "I know we have a great team. And if we play as a team, like we're capable of doing, we can be one of the best teams ever assembled.

Want to visit the ?city of the future?? Well, you won?t have to look any further than these 5 major world cities where a commitment to research and development and a population?s love for things digital have made them shoot to the top of the list when it comes to all things technology-related.

1. Tokyo, Japan

Every facet of this city has embraced technology ? from its high-speed public transport system to digital toilets! The people have as well. You?ll find that everyone is using sophisticated cell phones, techie gadgets, and taking advantage of broadband speeds several times faster than most of the rest of the world. Additionally, many of the major tech companies have a presence in Tokyo, such as Sony, Nikon, and Panasonic, and the population has also embraced a digital way of life.

2. Singapore

This city-state offers free high-speed wireless broadband to its population, and if you?re out shopping in Singapore, there?s no reason to carry your wallet. Mobile money is legal tender, so you can pay with your cell phone, computer, or even your wristwatch. When it comes time to pay a road toll, you?ll be charged a different price depending on the time you use the road using radio frequency identification tags which are required on each car. Many major industry leaders have a presence here, including HP, Fuji, IBM, and Microsoft.

3. Hong Kong, China

Patrons placing orders with robot waiters and school children scanning their fingerprints for attendance every morning may seem like scenes out of a futuristic movie, but that?s just part of normal life in Hong Kong. Here, the gadget-loving population benefits from the fastest residential broadband in the world and widespread cell phone coverage. And if you head to an area called Cyberport, you?ll find that all apartments and shops receive free Wi-Fi, which has led to a lot of creative and special effects companies taking up shop in the area.

4. Seoul, South Korea

The heart of the country?s mobile phone industry, major industry leaders such as Samsung and LG Group are based in this high-tech city. As a result, the phones here are several times faster than most of the rest of the world. You?ll also find an avid gaming population in Seoul ? a little under half of the country?s population regularly go to internet cafes to play games online ? and it is considered one of the most connected cities in the world with wireless access available on public transport, even while on the subway underground!

5. Silicon Valley, California, USA

Many consider the Silicon Valley / San Jose area to be the capital of the tech movement. You?ll find that it?s the heart of Web 2.0 development with over 225,300 technical jobs and the headquarters of many major tech company located there, such as Google and Apple. It also has the highest concentration of high-tech employees in the United States, so everywhere you turn there?s someone who can help you troubleshoot your computer issues.

UP-AyalaLand Technohub

July 26, 2012 - Mezza Norte, the most awaited food hub from the South (Taguig) comes closer to Quezon City, with the launch of Mercato Centrale's sister hang-out night food market located in the bustling compound of Technohub in Commonwealth.?

Foodie adventurers who travel all the way from the North to Mercato Centrale in Taguig in search of new culinary adventures, the Mercato experience is now coming closer to you.

Just recently, the organizers of the popular Mercato Centrale food market in Bonifacio Global City set up the Mezza Norte night food market at the UP-AyalaLand Technohub along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City to serve the growing late night food community in the North.

Mezza Norte brings together unique food, drink, pastry and dessert finds from home-based businesses in Quezon City like Dadi?s Berd charcoal-grilled chicken, Frisch?s Liquor Ice Cream, Macheesmo burgers, Sober club?s mocktails, Maria?s Ilocos Empanada, Med Chef?s pastries, Amang?s Grill?s chicken and pork isaw - the market will also have the favorite food finds from Mercato Centrale, which include Manangs?s Chicken, Mochiko ice cream-filled mochi balls, Big Bob?s Freshy charcoal-grilled burgers, Merry Moo Artisan Ice Cream, Angus Beef Tapa, Mio Gelati, Bagwang?s thinly-sliced bagnet strips, Carlo?s Kitchen crunchy belly, Chef Resty?s roast beef and more.

?We are very excited to be part of Quezon City food scene!? shares Anton Diaz, co-organizer of Mezza Norte and also the popular food and travel blogger behind www.OurAwesomePlanet.com. ?Mercato has wanted to serve the North, but we were just waiting for the right location for the food market. We think that the UP-AyalaLand Technohub is a perfect location in the North where we can cater to everyone in Quezon City and the surrounding areas.?

"There are a lot of great up-and-coming food entrepreneurs over here, and we want to give them an opportunity to shine in the market.? Adds RJ Ledesma, the other co-organizer of Mezza Norte. ?Among the entrepreneurs we look forward to having in the market are the students from the nearby colleges and universities along with Quezon City-based cooks, chefs and bakers who want to share their recipes with fellow food enthusiasts.?

On top of making new food discoveries, the marketgoers can also enjoy free wi-fi from Globe Tattoo at Home and live acoustic performances.

Mezza Norte will not only limit Quezon City's food choices, in fact it could be a great alternative from fastfoods, food delieveries, and high end food establishments. No ?worries for those who crave during late nights, given that the night food market is open until 3:00 a.m., there's a wide array of meals and culinary treats.
During the premier opening, invited media were supposed to have a taste samples from the food concessionaires, I doubt if these people can manage to do that, the place was totally crowded and booths are selling like hot cakes! The rains didn't even stopped Mezza Norte activities - it was jam-packed with food explorers from fresh faces to loyal customers. :)

Mezza Norte
UP-Ayala Technohub - opens every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6:00 pm to 3:00 am.

Most of us have heard about or know a person who is a ?functional alcoholic,? that is a person who is alcohol dependent but who is able, for the most part, to function in everyday life like a ?normal? person. Stated differently, a functional alcoholic is an individual who can go through most aspects of life without displaying any alcoholism signs or the signs of alcohol abuse.

Functional Alcoholics Do Many Responsible Things

Indeed, most functional alcoholics are not only able to go to work everyday, but they are also able to do other ?responsible? things such as pay their bills, do chores around the house, maintain a balance in their checking account, and go to church.

What is more, most functional alcoholics are able to pay for their car insurance, have a family, budget their money, and show up for their doctor and dentist visits. In short, functional alcoholics live mostly ?normal? lives with one exception: they are problem drinkers who are addicted to alcohol.

The Alcohol Related Problems Displayed by Most Alcoholics

I would imagine, however, that functional alcoholics are the exception rather than the rule. That is, most alcoholics are neither responsible nor can they function like other ?normal? people. Indeed, who can explain why so many alcoholics ruin their most important relationships, exhibit poor problem solving skills, and deny the severity of their drinking problems?

In a similar manner, why is it that most alcoholics have financial problems, are unemployed, and have mental health issues? What is more, why is it that most alcoholics display poor decision making skills, have medical problems, and get into legal trouble due to one or more DUI arrests?

The Refusal by Most Alcoholics to Get Alcohol Treatment

Ironically, the one thing that functional alcoholics and other alcoholics have in common, however, is that most of them either refuse to get the alcohol treatment they need or they ignore their problem drinking altogether. At some level I can understand this mentality for ?normal? alcoholics. I have a difficult time, however, making sense of this for functional alcoholics. Indeed, how can they live so responsibly in so many aspects of their life on the one hand and be so out-of-touch about their drinking problem on the other?

Written by Felicity Dickson,

The Supreme Court in the UK has now clarified that family members of people who have died following asbestos related illnesses can make a claim for asbestos compensation.

This outcome will now allow families to gain the desperately needed compensation for the loss of their loved ones due to negligent exposure to asbestos. Shocking figures revealed that over 2,000 people die a year due to asbestos in the UK.

Additionally, the number of Britons dying from Mesothelioma is three to five times higher than in America. Thus the Supreme Court?s ruling will finally give these families a chance to start re-building their lives.

Asbestos poisoning, in many cases, is only determined once the victim has passed away as the symptoms can take years to surface. This, in the past, has led to several debates as to whether a claim for asbestos compensation could be made.

The Supreme Court has initiated a ruling, which determines that insurance liability falls when the worker was initially negligently exposed to asbestos, not when the symptoms began to surface.

This definitive ruling has not only brought a clear view to families who wish to claim asbestos compensation but also to the Association of British Insurers who stated legal proceedings were solely needed due to the protestations by a small minority of insurers.

How can solicitors help you claim asbestos compensation

Speak to a member of our team today about making a claim

Exposure to Asbestos- Asbestos compensation

During the 1950s and 1980s, asbestos was commonly used in the construction industry in the UK. Asbestos poisoning can lead to many fatal illnesses including mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. Yet the effects can take up to 40 years to materialise following exposure.

If you feel a member of your family has been negligently exposed to asbestos whilst at work, you may be entitled to asbestos compensation. Even if they have not experienced any symptoms as yet, they may well do in the future.

Time limits however may apply so it is best to speak to a trained personal injury solicitor as soon as possible as a delay may take away your right to claim. Asbestos compensation can be used to relieve on-going medical bills as well paying for an apparatus that may be needed to ease the symptoms of asbestos poisoning.

Speak to an asbestos solicitor today about making a claim for compensation. Call Duncan Gibbins on and we will be able to offer up to date information and advice regarding asbestos compensation.
