Why don't Chabad Chassidim say ''chasal sidur pesach'' at the end of the seder?
Like is stated explicitly in the Rebbe's commentary at the end of the Haggadah to this question, it is because like with all the Moadim, the influence of the order of Pesach radiates eternally into each and every day of the year. It is not finished and it does not cease.

I sat down at an empty blackjack table and began betting the table minimum. When you're alone with the dealer, you'll usually get in about 40 hands per shoe. Sticking with table minimum bets, I was down 26 bets by the time the yellow cut-card popped out. That means I had to have gone something like 7-33 on that shoe. Nice start!
The next two shoes weren't so hot either. At their conclusion I was down about 40 times the table minimum. At the beginning of the fourth shoe, the dealer began torturing me with a seemingly endless flurry of three, four and five card 20s and 21s. That's the point where most people would jump up in disgust and leave the table. But if you're a savvy player, you know what all those baby cards mean.
So I doubled, then quadrupled, then sextupled my bet and things just got worse! I kept getting nice hands to double down with, but could only catch a stupid deuce or a 4 to make stiff after stiff. More than halfway through the shoe, I was down about 60 times the table minimum.
Now betting eight units per hand in fervent search of those 120 tens and Aces that had to be in there somewhere, I was dealt a pair of 8s against the dealer's 5. Splitting, I caught an Ace on my first 8 to make a soft 19. I immediately doubled down, catching the first "paint" (picture card) to be seen in some time, giving me a hard 19. On my second 8, I caught a third 8 and re-split. Catching a 3, I doubled and made 21 with another paint. On the third 8 I caught a deuce, doubled down and made 20. I now had three separate hands, each with 16 units riding on them. The dealer turned over a paint in the hole and promptly busted!
In one fell swoop, I had suddenly drawn within striking distance. There was only a tad more shoe left with a considerable excess of 10s and Aces still remaining, so I played two hands for six units each. I was dealt an Ace/8 and a 5/3 against the dealer's 6 as the cut-card popped out of the shoe, signifying the last round. If I could just win these last two hands, I'd be even and will have gotten out of the trap. What would you do?
Ninety-nine percent of the players would contentedly stand on the soft 19 and hit the hard 8. Only an enlightened few would know to double both hands with this "heavy" shoe. That's what I did, catching an Ace and a 10 as the dealer proceeded to go: 6-16-26!
On the last two rounds of the shoe, I had gone from 60 units down to 12 units ahead. I colored up, tipped the dealer and hit the door after four turbulent shoes. One more sunny day at the green felt beach.
This story was true and was an example of the ups and downs you can experience when you play blackjack seriously. This particular episode turned out well, as many have. But there were plenty others that never turned around, sending me home a lot lighter and a lot humbler.
There were also those days when I came out of the gate like a house afire, only to blow it all back and then some on the last shoe. But if you understand "advantage" gambling, you know it's not about winning today. It's all about taking your edges when you find them, and living with the ups and downs on your way to the long run.
There's one thing you need to realize about blackjack. If you play a slow, even, consistent game -- you'll get slowly, evenly ground down to a little nub. There's no way you can win more hands than you lose. But there will be isolated times when the shoe does favor you. You need a way to identify those times and go on the offensive right there, right then. And if you lose, remember – that's just a short piece of the long run.

Medicare readmissions reduction program penalizes hospitals inaccurately, study finds
Rich Daly
Between 10% and 12% of hospitals penalized by the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) should not have been, according to a study.
Lower-revenue hospitals were more likely to be wrongly assessed penalties.
In FY21, 2,545 hospitals will face HRRP penalties, with 41 facing the maximum 3% cut in Medicare payments.
Hospitals are facing half a billion dollars in Medicare cuts based on their readmission rates, but recent research says the underlying data is highly unreliable.
An analysis by Harvard Medical School researchers of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), which penalizes hospitals with higher 30-day risk-standardized readmission rates (RSRRs) for several conditions, found in FY19 a "misclassification of condition-specific penalty status for up to 31% of hospitals." The misclassifications included inappropriately penalizing some and not penalizing others, according to the study in JAMA Cardiology.
Within each condition, the share of hospitals that incorrectly went unpenalized was:
20.9% for acute myocardial infarction
13.5% for heart failure
13.2% for pneumonia
The share of hospitals that were incorrectly penalized was:
Smaller hospitals were especially likely to be misclassified, said Changyu Shen, PhD, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and one of the study's authors.
"The majority of those hospitals with a misclassification in the penalty status are those hospitals with less discharges," Shen said in an interview. "Many of these hospitals have limited resources, and if they are incorrectly penalized there may by consequences for their patients."
The effect of misclassification on hospitals that should have received been penalized is less clear, Shen said, because they continue to operate under the threat of future penalties.
The researchers blamed the effect of hospital-level 30-day RSRR measures, which are point estimates based on a finite number of discharges and are "subject to chance errors in measuring the true readmission rate of each hospital."
"In the extreme case, a hospital classified as worse than the peer-group median by the 30-day RSRR measure may have a true readmission rate that is in fact better than the peer-group median (or vice versa)," the authors wrote.
The issue also likely affected the size of penalties on hospitals, the authors concluded. HRRP penalties range from 0% to 3% of all Medicare fee-for-service payments during a performance period.
When asked about for its views on the study's results, CMS emailed the following written statement:
CMS "is committed to ensuring that quality and safety are high priorities for patients and people with Medicare. We closely monitor performance and outcomes for all of our quality measures. This includes collaborating with stakeholders on performance criteria and carefully using the feedback to assess measure changes and impacts in our decision-making.
"In the event that a measure change occurs, including HRRP measures, the agency uses the federal rulemaking process to provide notice and seek on-the-record responses from stakeholders and other public comments before any proposed changes would become effective."
How to improve the accuracy of calculations
Shen doubted executives at individual hospitals could determine whether their organization wrongly faced HRRP penalties, given that they would need access to other hospitals' data as well.
"Number one is what kind of patient got readmitted," Shen said. "Is there anything you can do about it, rather than to argue if this a mistake or not?"
Follow-up research is needed to understand the effect of the misapplied penalties and then how to fix the problem, Shen said.
To narrow the associated margin of error and minimize the likelihood of misclassifying performance, CMS could extend data collection from three years to 12 years for acute myocardial infarction and to six years for heart failure and pneumonia. That would reduce the rate of penalty-status misclassification to from 31% to 20%, the authors wrote.
"However, this would lead to substantial lag time between the period used to assess performance and the determination of financial penalties," they wrote.
A possible solution could involve switching from the 30-day readmission measure to the excess days in acute care (EDAC) measure to capture the full spectrum of hospital encounters — including emergency department use — within 30 days of discharge, according to another new study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, which Shen also co-authored.
Significance of the penalty issue for hospitals
The latest CMS data showed 2,545 hospitals will face FY21 HRRP penalties, with 41 facing the maximum 3% cut in Medicare payments. The HRRP produced $553 million in hospital cuts for FY21, CMS estimated. That was a slight decrease from FY20, when 2,583 hospitals incurred $563 million in penalties and 56 hospitals had the maximum cut.
The HRRP has undergone several changes since penalties first were assessed in 2012, including an effort to account for socioeconomic differences among hospitals with larger shares of low-income patients.
But a growing body of research has been critical of the program.
For instance, a January 2019 study in Health Affairs found the HRRP either had no effect on readmissions or led to an industrywide reduction in readmissions that was roughly half as large as prior estimates suggested.
The use of readmission measures also drew significant focus when a study of the high-profile Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers, which focused on coordinating outpatient care and social services for patients with complex medical and social needs after hospital discharge, found it did not significantly reduce readmission rates.
At least one study even found an increase in mortality since HRRP penalties took effect, but one analysis by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission found no such link.

First steps to a bio-compatible ion current battery
Engineers at the University of Maryland have invented a new kind of battery that uses the same ion-based energy system using by living organisms and could be used for medical interfaces.
The new battery moves electrons around in the device to deliver energy that is a flow of ions. "My intention is for ionic systems to interface with human systems," said Prof Liangbing Hu, professor of materials science at the University of Maryland, College Park, head of the group that developed the battery where ions flow through grass fibres.
"So I came up with the reverse design of a battery," he said. "In a typical battery, electrons flow through wires to interface electronics, and ions flow through the battery separator. In our reverse design, a traditional battery is electronically shorted so that electrons are flowing through the metal wires. Then ions have to flow through the outside ionic cables. In this case, the ions in the ionic cable - here, grass fibres -- can interface with living systems."
This would allow a more effective interface in medical systems. "Potential applications might include the development of the next generation of devices to micro-manipulate neuronal activities and interactions that can prevent and/or treat such medical problems as Alzheimer's disease and depression," said researcher Jianhua Zhang, PhD, a staff scientist at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda.
"The battery could be used to develop medical devices for the disabled, or for more efficient drug and gene delivery tools in both research and clinical settings, as a way to more precisely treat cancers and other medical diseases," said Zhang, who performed biological experiments to test that the new battery successfully transmitted current to living cells. "Looking far ahead on the scientific horizon, one hopes also that this invention may help to establish the possibility of direct machine and human communication," he said.

Maryland Senate Bill 195, which passed its Third Reading in the Maryland Senate on a vote of 45-to-zero on March 10, 2017, if signed into law as originally drafted, would require physicians licensed in Maryland to (1) maintain medical professional liability insurance in the amounts of $500,000 per occurrence or claim and $1.5 million per annual aggregate or attest that the licensed physician is covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), the Maryland Tort Claims Act (MTCA), or medical professional liability insurance by the physician's employer for these amounts; (2) have insurance or coverage that is appropriate for the individual physician's circumstances; and (3) comply with any implementing regulations adopted by the State Board of Physicians (MBP).
Original Senate Bill 195 also provided that a physician must provide MBP with verification or other documentation of the required insurance or coverage as a condition of initial licensure and license renewal or reinstatement. A physician must also submit the documentation upon MBP's request.
If the physician's insurance or coverage is canceled, the physician must notify MBP at least 10 days prior to the effective date of the cancellation. MBP must notify a physician if the physician fails to submit verification or other documentation of coverage or fails to maintain the required insurance or coverage.
MBP may deny an initial license or refuse to renew or reinstate a license if the applicant fails to submit verification or other documentation of coverage or provides false verification or documentation. MBP may also reprimand a licensee, place a licensee on probation, or suspend or revoke a license if the licensee (1) fails to maintain the required insurance or coverage; (2) fails to submit verification or other documentation; or (3) provides false verification or documentation.
Maryland does not require physicians to carry medical malpractice insurance. However, according to the Medical Mutual Liability Insurance Society of Maryland (MMLIS), the largest medical professional liability insurance carrier in Maryland, physicians are required to carry medical malpractice insurance limits of $1 million per occurrence or claim and $3 million per annual aggregate in order to obtain hospital credentialing and to participate in health plans. The vast majority of physicians insured by MMLIS carry these limits (fewer than 12 physicians insured by MMLIS carry limits below these amounts).
The Annotated Code of Maryland, Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article, provides that the cap for noneconomic damages is $785,000 for health care malpractice causes of action arising in 2017. The cap applies in the aggregate to all claims for personal injury and wrongful death arising from the same medical injury, regardless of the number of claims, claimants, plaintiffs, beneficiaries, or defendants. However, if there is a wrongful death action in which there are two or more claimants or beneficiaries, the total amount awarded may not exceed 125% of the cap, or $981,250 in 2017.
According to the American Medical Association, at least seven states (Colorado, Connecticut, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin) require physicians to carry minimum levels of medical malpractice insurance, ranging from $100,000 to $1 million per occurrence and $300,000 to $3 million per annual aggregate. At least another seven states (Indiana, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming) require physicians to carry minimum levels of coverage to qualify for state liability reforms, including caps on damages or patient compensation funds. In addition, at least five states (Alaska, Florida, Montana, Ohio, and Oregon) require physicians or similar providers to notify a patient if they do not have medical professional liability insurance.

The scumbag who stabbed 2-time Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova during a 2016 home invasion robbery has been sentenced to serve 8 years in a Czech Republic prison, officials say.
Kvitova was slashed badly during the Dec. 2016 incident at her C.R. apartment -- suffering major damage to her left hand while trying to fend off her attacker.
While bleeding all over her apartment, Kvitova offered the attacker 10,000 Czech crown (roughly $440) ... which he took and left.
The suspect was eventually identified as Radim Zondra -- and he was captured in May 2018. The trial took place in February and Kvitova personally testified against him.
As for her injuries, Kvitova underwent surgery to repair damage to the tendons in her left hand and 2 nerves. All five of her fingers on her left hand were also injured in the attack.
What was even worse for Kvitova -- she's known for having a powerful left hand ... so the attack could have derailed her career.
The good news ... 29-year-old Kvitova returned to tennis less than 5 months after the attack and has already climbed her way back to the #2-ranked women's tennis player in the world. Amazing.
As for the criminal, in addition to prison -- he was also ordered to pay back the $440 he stole.
Kvitova has been dominating this year -- she reached the final at the Australian Open and is currently competing in the Miami Open.
She won Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014.

Authority Uses Company's Incentive Money for Upgrade -- The New York City Housing Authority has taken advantage of incentives from Con Edison's Green Team to install an energy-saving building management system at the East 180th St. - Monterey Avenue development in the Bronx.
The system, called a Wireless Energy Module and built by Intech21, ensures that the temperature in all 239 apartments is at the same comfortable level. Con Edison estimates that NYCHA will save more than 14,000 therms of natural gas the first year.
The system also gathers information on the electricity usage in each apartment. NYCHA will review that data and look for strategies to save electricity.
Con Edison provided NYCHA with a $42,400 incentive for the heating portion of the system. The incentive came from a Con Edison energy efficiency program that helps housing authorities make energy-saving upgrades.
When assuming her leadership role as NYCHA Chair and CEO, Shola Olatoye stated that one of her objectives was to ensure a green and sustainable NYCHA. This is an example of how NYCHA and its partners can work together to green and retrofit NYCHA's existing buildings.
NYCHA installed this system at its Castle Hill development in the Bronx on a pilot basis in 2010 and found that it reduced heating fuel costs by more than 20 percent.
NYCHA plans to install the system at its Lexington, Saint Nicholas Avenue, Washington and WSUR (Brownstones) developments by the end of 2014. Con Edison's incentives for the heating portion of the systems at those four developments will total $408,000. The five systems will save approximately 345,000 therms in the first year.
NYCHA is also installing high efficiency boilers at seven developments and will receive more than $740,000 in incentives from Con Edison. At each development NYCHA is replacing older, inefficient boilers.
Con Edison has an energy efficiency program for almost everyone. For information, visit conEd.com/greenteam, or call the Con Edison Green Team at 1-877-870-6118.
The New York City Housing Authority's (NYCHA) mission is to increase opportunities for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers by providing safe, affordable housing and facilitating access to social and community services. To that end, NYCHA administers a Conventional Public Housing Program as well as a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing Program in rental apartments. NYCHA also works with numerous partners to connect our residents to a multitude of community, educational and recreational programs, as well as job readiness and training initiatives.

Today's 201 prompts were faces – found poetry – chiasmus. I've been itching to do a found poem for a while… I've borrowed a health and safety poster from work, and given it an Orwellian twist.
Stopping you getting through work.
2- My tan is peeling. That's a medical thing, right?
4- My cat is still angry after spending a week with the in-laws. I need time to re-bond.
This is the latest weekly challenge from Ronovan, with the prompts "guide" and "mad". I had a lot of fun with these words. Hope you do too!
Guide the soul to harmony.
Sprinting through reception with a mad glint in your eye.
June has been another productive month. 28 posts published before this one, so these are some of the "highlights", in the tradition of that filler episode of your favourite TV show when they have enough content for a 22 episode series, but sell 23 episodes to the broadcaster!
I completed a short series on what I've learned about writing rhyming picture books – https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/from-bad-to-verse/ . The last part of this series included a round-up of the key bits of advice, and a host of useful rhyming resources, – https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/from-bad-to-verse-10-top-rhyming-tips-useful-resources/ – so if you are pushed for time then you could start with this one and dip into the previous posts as and when you have time/ inclination/ need to develop your skills and understanding.
My most popular poetry post this month has been "The Lie" – https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/the-lie-poem/ – probably because it's so universal… and short!
My favourite though is this one – https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/lost-and-found-poem/ .
Game of Thrones came up in two separate pieces this month. I love that show/ book… https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/jon-snow-has-gone-to-sleep-poem/ and https://altheauthor.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/weekly-haiku-challenge-gain-hound/ . Is this the first time that The Hound has inspired a haiku?
In July, look out for more haiku, more random poetry (the zombies and slugs will be back… probably!), and a blog post on rhyme and comedy. Hope you'll join me.
Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to stop by and read my stuff, and double thanks to those who have "liked" and commented!

Be careful with Lewis. He understands people very well. However, at times his theology deeply flawed, and easy to miss if one isn't diligent.
Thank you, Chad. I have gone into reading his works with this in mind because I knew there were some problems.
Excellent stuff. I'd been casting about for a way to express this very thing for a couple of weeks, now.
Glad to hear it. I hear far too many traditionalist equate Lewis to Chesterton and hold them both in more veneration than some saints. It's absurd to equate someone who rejected the Catholic Church as such. The popularity of Lewis and some of Fulton Sheens writings are a huge source of sentamentalist errors in people I know.
Thank you for the insight on social conditioning. That is how we are herded.
Lewis seems to know human nature so well. I haven't read much yet, but I would be willing to bet this has a lot to do with it.
Just remember how difficult is would be for an Englishman of that era to even consider RC as a possiblity. He would have to be a romantic, like GKC. It's so easy to fall into whatever culture one belongs to.

Jared Leto Lets Us Into His World Of 'Mad Men' With Thirty Seconds To Mars Documentary Series
Get a personal look inside the band's record-breaking tour.
Brenna Ehrlich 11/21/2014
Hey Echelon: Now's your chance to get up close and very personal with Thirty Seconds To Mars and frontman Jared Leto. No, you don't get to wordlessly hug Leto while crying -- at least not any time soon. The band is launching their tour documentary series, "Into The Wild," come November 30.
"I think people can expect to see in this series, this documentary series, a very personal look at the inner workings of Thirty Seconds To Mars -- what it's like to really be on the road and to tour like mad men," Leto told MTV News of "Into The Wild."
The series -- which will run on social site VyRT -- follows the band on their Guinness World Record-breaking, two-and-half-year-long world tour, "Into The Wild." The epic documentary, directed by Bartholomew Cubbins (who is definitely not Jared Leto) and produced by the frontman, will run roughy 19 episodes and will feature footage from every single concert. We'll also get a pretty extensive look behind the scenes.

"We watched the sun rise in Lebanon. Drove our bus through riots on the streets of Paris. Toured from South Africa to South America to South Dakota. It was unforgettable," Leto said.
Watch Leto wax poetic below -- and take note of his sweatshirt -- while getting pumped for November 30.


HOW CAN COLORING HELP WITH PHONICS?
Amazingly, using just five colored pencils to trace vowels in new words can help students sound out words faster, even tricky words. Students will know if a vowel sound is short, long, silent, or other, and when it's OK to ask for help. This technique works great with new and struggling readers of all ages. Teach a list of 10 words for two days or until students have mastered the sounds, then go on to the next list.

Outside TibetGov't & Leaders on Tibet
Tibet issue raised during US Congress discussion on China's quest for global power
U.S. Capitol Building.
(TibetanReview.net, Jan21, 2018) – The situation in Tibet and the need to pass pending legislations relating to it as a way to address China's onslaught on American society was discussed during a Special Order session of the US House of Representatives on Jan 18, said Washington-based International Campaign For Tibet Jan 19.
The discussion was initiated by Representative Ted Yoho, Chairman of the Asia and the Pacific Subcommittee on House Foreign Affairs Committee. The subcommittee had earlier held a hearing on Tibet on Dec 6.
Representative Ted Yoho, Chairman of the Asia and the Pacific Subcommittee on House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Yoho, a Republican from Florida, was joined by Mr Ted Poe (Republican from Texas), and Mr Jim McGovern (Democrat from Massachusetts) in referring to the situation in Tibet. Mr Yoho was stated to have highlighted the issue of lack of access to Tibet and the need for freedom to the Tibetan people to follow their religious tradition, including in the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama.
Mr McGovern was stated to have spoken about China's interference in the physical and spiritual lives of Tibetans and the Dalai Lama's nonviolent effort to resolve the issue of Tibet through the Middle Way Approach. He has called for the passage of HR 1872, the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act, and H Con Res 89, while expressing the sense of Congress that the treatment of the Tibetan people should be an important factor in the conduct of United States relations with China. He has also called for the full implementation of the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002.
And Mr Poe was stated to have spoken about China's persecution of the Tibetan people in the context of it being an atheistic regime.
In his remark Mr Yoho was also quoted as having said: "…China has grown to become a revisionist power—not rising within the current order, but seeking to change, subvert, or coerce it to suit China's end—not playing by the rules, but rewriting the rules to suit the needs of China."

3 Quotes by Ivo Mosley
Born in London in 1951, the son of writer Nicholas Mosley (later The 3rd Baron Ravensdale), and grandson of politician Sir Oswald Mosley, Ivo Mosley went to Bryanston School before studying Japanese at New College, Oxford.[1] In 2007 he also completed an MA in musical theatre at Goldsmiths College, London.
2013 - In The Name Of The People, an expose of Western "Democracy"
Quotes by Ivo Mosley
"Financial services" "Using the simple privileges of banks, the "financial services industry" has become a gigantic predatory parasite draining the human and natural worlds of life." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Academic "In academic institutions, freedom of thought and expression is in retreat in many areas. Administrators of universities have become top-down representatives of government, rather than defenders of the independence of their institutions. Funding is sought from corporations as well as governments: "market forces" is a euphemism for conformity to corporate demands." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Deep state control "Whether you take the popular adage 'money is power in its most liquid form' or listen to the historians—'power follows property'—an obvious job for any elite that wants to stay in power is to corner the money supply." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Deep state "Although elected representatives are supposed to be the ruling power we see them coming and going while the true powers in our lives — political parties, bureaucracies, business corporations, the media, institutions of law and justice, quangos, international treaty agreements, financial systems, regulators etcetera — get on with business." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Enclosure "In simple historical fact, driving the poor off the land was, off-and-on, a source of profit to landowners long before elected representatives gained sovereign power. When (as happened in the sixteenth century) landowners found sheep more profitable than humans, many landlords tried to force humans off and bring sheep in." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Enclosure "The appropriation, by one means or another, of lands owned or occupied by the poor continues. What was accomplished in England by legislation is being accomplished today all over the world by bank-created capital and debt-finance." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Neocolonialism "As colonies won their freedom, old colonial powers were keen to maintain their profitable access to markets and raw materials. Newly elected governments in the colonies were tempted by lucrative contracts into granting licenses. This developed into a simple formula: a supply of money and guns to governments (most of which then abolished elections) in exchange for access to raw materials. As a further corruption, money received 'in the name of the people' often went straight into the bank account of a government minister, the account invariably being with a Western bank. For many countries, from colonialism to post-colonialism was a case of 'out the frying pan, into the fire'. After voting once, people were held in check by machine-guns while their gangster governments, sponsored by outside powers, robbed, terrorized and murdered them. This kind of business proceeded, and proceeds still in many countries today, with the full knowledge of Western powers. Little was done for many decades by the West to restrain their part in it." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Political correctness ""Political correctness" affects many academic disciplines. Like all tyrannical ideologies, it masquerades as concern for the underdog but supports the rise of a new overdog. While seeming to promote multiculturalism, it denies genetic variety among human beings and forbids analysis of what kinds of human are (temporarily) favoured by the peculiar conditions of human life today. This buries the urgent need of some peoples to enjoy protection from the ravages of Western imperialism. If we are all the same, the argument goes, we all deserve to "enjoy" the benefits of Western ways of life." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Squatting "Under medieval law, if cottagers or squatters could put up a dwelling on unused land within twenty-four hours, the cottage and a number of surrounding acres would be theirs to occupy by right." 2013 In The Name Of The People
Subsistence "The great enemy of enterprising capital is a self-sustaining life.[1] A family living a self-contained existence on a piece of land is profitable to no one.[2] Once the family is displaced, the land can be put to profit. Dispossessed adults can be 'gainfully employed' (whose gain?) and the whole family can be trained up—via advertising and the rest—as consumers. Lastly, in the peculiar perversity of modern economics, the illnesses, depressions, crimes and other discontents of the dependent are of immense profit to the pharmaceutical, insurance, care, security, manufacturing, entertainment and prison industries." 2013 In The Name Of The People
US/Congress "Congress became, and has remained, a forum for the interests and advancement of business. The dominant ethic and the creed of power in America is that the interests of business are the interests of the nation." 2013 In The Name Of The People

I have always enjoyed Impressionism. As a child, I was drawn to the bright colors and seemingly random scatter that somehow became a coherent image from far away. As I've grown up and frequented art museums, I have also come to admire the perseverance of the Impressionist artists in the face of rejection from the Salon and popular culture, and their confidence in themselves. I have always loved Monet, who I heard about a lot at art auctions my parents would attend, or Degas, whose paintings hung in my ballet studios growing up. I wanted to learn more about a less familiar Impressionist artist, so I chose Camille Pissarro, after a bit of preliminary research.
I primarily used John Rewald's book "Camille Pissarro" in my research, which I selected randomly; I later discovered Rewald is quite a respected art historian. Rewald calls Pissarro the "dean of Impressionist painters…by virtue of his wisdom and his balanced, kind, and warmhearted personality". Pissarro was born in 1830 on St. Thomas (Danish nationality), making him the oldest of the group of Impressionist painters. As Rewald writes, Pissarro meets Monet in London through Paul Durand-Ruel who is a pivotal Impressionist art dealer. With Monet, he studied English landscapes and learned a "looser technique and greater lightness of color" (14). During this time, "neither he nor his comrades [Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Cezanne, Degas] succeeded in having their works accepted by the jury of the Salon, which scorned their bright colors, their unconventional technique and their lack of rigid contours". (15)
"Two Women Chatting by the Sea" was painted in 1856, and depicts an image from St. Thomas. As one of Pissarro's earlier works, he was influenced by Danish artist Fritz Melbye who lived on St. Thomas and guided Pissarro. He first developed his love of art when he was sent to boarding school at age 12 in Paris, but was persuaded into becoming a full-time artist by Melbye. This was painted one of the last times he was home in St. Thomas, before permanently moving away.
"The Garden of Les Mathurins at Pontoise" was finished in 1876. This painting is noted for being one of the first to definitively divide color.
Pont Boieldieu in Rouen, Rainy Weather was painted in 1896. This painting, painted in Pissarro's later years, shows his move away from only painting traditional landscapes, and transition to also painting the movement of cities. Pissarro himself describes this painting: "The theme is the bridge near the Placede la Bourse with the effects of rain, crowds of people coming and going, smoke from the boats, quays with cranes, workers in the foreground, and all this in grey colors glistening in the rain…what particularly interests me is the motif off the iron bridge in wet weather with all the vehicles, pedestrians, workers on the embankment, boats, smoke, haze in the distance; it's so spirited, so alive." Pissarro painted this from inside the Hotel de Paris in Rouen, where his room overlooked this view. He started having eye trouble and thus, difficulty painting out in the open in the 1890s, so this was likely the reason he painted this from behind a closed window. However, as obvious, his work does not show any of these eye troubles; in fact, according to Rewald, "Pissarro himself considered some of his last works the best he had ever done" (18).

Conductive hearing loss occurs when the outer or middle parts of the ear do not accurately pick up on sound wave. This can often be helped with hearing aid or grommet insertion.
Glue ear (a type of conductive loss) is a condition many children suffer from and it occurs from a build up of sticky fluid behind the eardrum.
Sensori-neural hearing loss is an inner ear difficulty whereby the cells which convert sound to neural messages or the nerves connecting the ear to the brain do not function correctly.
Hearing loss of any kind will require intervention by an ENT Consultant and Audiologist. In cases where hearing loss is detected later than 1 year old, speech and language therapy is often indicated as the child will have missed a significant amount of language input in his/her environment and can present with language or pronunciation difficulties as a result.
In cases of mild or moderate hearing loss, language development can be improved significantly with intervention. In cases of severe or profound hearing loss, your Speech and Language Therapist can advise you on non-verbal communication techniques such as sign language. Cochlear implant is also a possible intervention for children with this sort of hearing loss.
It is highly advisable that if you have a young child who can be non-responsive, has difficulty learning language and is showing signs of delay, you should contact a Speech and Language Therapist.
A cleft lip is caused when the upper lip has not fused together properly resulting in a gap between the upper lip and nose.
A cleft palate occurs when the roof of the mouth has not joined together fully. The severity of this can range from a small hole or fissure to a gaping hole. A cleft lip has usually undergone surgical repair by the time the child is three months and a cleft palate by one year.
Cleft lip and palate may be the cause of feeding difficulties, speech and language problems, ear infection and dental issues.
A Speech and Language Therapist plays a major role in identifying and treating feeding, speech and language difficulties in children with cleft lip/palate.
Stammering is a speech disorder in which the fluency of speech is halted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases, and/or involuntary silent pauses and/or blocks. Stammering can be variable in severity across different settings. Stammering affects approximately 5% of the Irish population at some point in life. It's important to have a child with a stammer seen by a Speech and Language Therapist in order to determine appropriate timing for intervention. Our therapists are trained in the Lidcombe early intervention programme for stammering which is extremely successful.
It is thought that between 1-2% of the adult population have a stammer, some of whom have their stammer under control through taught techniques. Long term stammering can also be associated with low self- esteem issues, avoidance of speaking in certain situations, and physical movements which also occur in conjunction with stammering.
The cause of stammering is not definite. However, most recent research indicates a genetic cause in stammering.

TN prisons to pay officers $1,000 'retention bonus'
As the Tennessee prison system tries to retain staff, officials are offering $1,000 to remaining correctional officers.
TN prisons to pay officers $1,000 'retention bonus' As the Tennessee prison system tries to retain staff, officials are offering $1,000 to remaining correctional officers. Check out this story on Tennessean.com: http://tnne.ws/1NIpaNE

Amid ongoing problems with retaining and recruiting staff, Tennessee prison administrators plan to pay current officers a $1,000 "retention bonus" before the end of the year.
The move affects 3,300 officers, representing a possible $3.3 million price tag. The changes to how the department paid officer overtime — a key factor cited by officers and the Tennessee State Employee Association as to why officers quit their jobs — was expected to save the state $1.4 million.
Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Derrick Schofield announced the decision Tuesday in a staff memo, obtained by The Tennessean.
"As you know, working in this field is not easy. This bonus shows our appreciation for their dedication to this department," Schofield writes in the memo.
Amid criticism, Haslam defends TN prison chief
The bonus is a "one-time, self-funded" payment by the department that will go to correctional officers, corporals, sergeants, lieutenants, captains and inmate relations coordinators, according to the memo.
TSEA President Bryan Merritt lauded the bonuses, but said they likely won't be enough to stop officers from walking out the door.
"It is no secret the department of correction continues to face challenges with officer recruitment and retention, and we applaud their decision to self-fund this bonus for correctional officers; however, while bonuses are valued, until policies and practices which directly impact staffing levels are corrected, we believe the department will continue to face these issues," Merritt said in a prepared statement.
Staffing vacancies have plagued the prison system for months. In early August, department officials told state lawmakers there were 302 vacancies among the 2,644 total officer positions. Nearly half of those vacancies were concentrated at West Tennessee State Penitentiary in Henning, with another 75 reported at Northwest Correctional Facility in Tiptonville.
Department spokeswoman Neysa Taylor confirmed 3,300 officers are eligible for the bonuses. That number represents all eligible staff from all 10 of the state's public prisons, as well as central office staff, the correctional academy and the Office of Investigations and Compliance.
None of the numbers for the amount of officers per facility provided by Taylor on Tuesday match with the number of officers per facility provided in an August presentation to state lawmakers.
TN prison chief concedes some mistakes in incident reports
Officers and the TSEA argued the changes in pay and scheduling made the job less desirable, driving officers away. With fewer officers, the already dangerous job grew more dangerous for the remaining officers, tasked with working more shifts with less help.
Gov. Bill Haslam has echoed Schofield's comments that there are other, outside factors driving the vacancies at state facilities. They note an improving economy providing jobs outside prisons, specifically pointing to businesses offering jobs in the vicinity of certain prisons.
As more problems associated with the vacancies continued to surface, the department announced in mid-August it would provide $600 to any new correctional officers and a $100 referral bonus for current officers. At the time, Schofield said the bonuses would serve as a great recruitment tool. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, R-Blountville, called it a "Band-Aid approach" to larger issues within the system.
Lt. Gov. Ramsey: Problems in TN prison system are real
The department also plans to provide a "monthly assignment differential" of $100 for every probation and parole officer qualified to carry a weapon. This policy would take effect in 2016.
"...it shows that TDOC is competitive in seeking out talented new employees to join our well-trained team. Also, the retention bonus and the assignment differential are the first steps as we look for opportunities to reward our team members and positively impact other areas of the department as well," Schofield writes in the memo.
Prison officials continue to face scrutiny over the state of facilities. Lawmakers have promised to continue to monitor the department as it reviews how it defines violent attacks and as it considers changing the ways it pays and schedules officers. No changes from either of those reviews have happened, despite findings from an American Correctional Association review that called for revisions.

I am a perfectionist with an imperfect life.
Here is a confession for you: I am not a good writer, and I know it. The English language still confuses me with all of its rules. I never received above a "C" in English in high school or college. Yet, for some crazy reason (masochistic, maybe?), I continue to return to the discipline of capturing thoughts in the written word.
You may not be a writer, but my guess is that there is something in your life that you value and wish you were good at doing. Maybe, it is a hobby like fishing, skiing, or surfing. Maybe, it is a trade such as being a mechanic or an interior designer. There are often areas in our lives that we have a passion for but are not able to accomplish at the level we wish we could attain them.
Not being good at something you love is more normal than you think.
Many of the people we admire, who are good at something, were not always good at that something. They had to discipline themselves to learn and improve their skill. Often, our passion for something outweighs our ability to accomplish it.
In order to begin learning and improving in that desired area, we have to do it with passion and forget perfection. Our pride and longing for precision must be put aside. We have to realize that we will not get it right the first time, but getting it done at all is a feat.
The first rule to getting good at something is to get over your pride.
One of the reasons I have been kept from finishing or writing some of my best content is because I am scared of not getting it right. This is foolishness. I am not sure I can tell you anything I did right the first time. Nearly every skill I have started by doing it wrong, or not fully correct, before I learned how to do it the better or best way.
Perfectionism is the great show stopper. Satan would love nothing more than to convince competent Christians that they should not do something because it will not be good enough. God gave us a set of gifts and passions, and we are to use those gifts and passions for His glory.
God knows our limits and our passions, and He can be glorified if we are willing to do what we can and trust the results of our efforts to Him.
I was struggling with this idea of getting things done until they were perfect. My wife saw it, my assistant saw it, and so did some of my closest partners in ministry. They saw me start projects and never finish. I often excused my lack of doing or finishing things as a lack of time to do them. While that may have been true, I think the fear of failure was keeping me from finishing. I had a desire to do it "the best way" or "complete" and, in all of this, I was being stopped from doing things (many great things for the Gospel) because I wanted it to be just right.
I was sharing this with a friend, teacher and author, Jonathan Leeman. He is a father, Elder, prolific writer, and traveling speaker. "I can't seem to get good stuff on paper," I lamented. "What is your advice for writing and getting content out in the midst of all my other responsibilities at home and church," I asked.
"A half of a loaf is better than no loaf," Jonathan said with utter conviction.
The perfection bubble I was building my writing ministry upon popped with his sharp words. He went on to explain that one of the most loving things I can do for my church and family is to get writing done by: (1) respecting I can only give it so much time, and (2) realizing that it may not be perfect. He added that it is better to give what I can and get something out now than to hold back, waiting for the "Someday…when I have more time…" moment.
Perfectionism is a tool of the enemy. If Satan can slow us or stop us from using our passions and skills for the Kingdom of God, he wins. So, let's use the time and talent we have to please God, remembering that there is only One who is perfect…and we are not Him.

Q: Adding values down an array I'm writing a class that does pen and paper multiplication.
I'm trying to add values down an array space. The workspace looks like:
52670000000000000000
00503000000000000000
00526700000000000000
00052510000000000000

So I want to add up 5,0,0,0 for the first column and store in first array index. Then 2,0,0,0 for the next. If it's over 10 then I just put the 0 into the array and carry the 1 over. My functions which extract the carry/rest of the numbers work fine.
I'm only counting in columns up to rowCount+rowCount-1 which is how many columns across I can go which have actual values.
How can I get it to add down? So far i only can only get it to add across. (It's working properly for add across but I want to add down)!
 public static long addUpWorkspace(int rowCount, long[][]workspace){
    long carry = 0;
    long[]answer = new long[rowCount+rowCount-1];
    //for every row
    for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++){
        long value = 0;
        //for every column
        for (int j = 0; j < rowCount+rowCount-1; j++){
            value+=workspace[i][j];
        }
        value+=carry;

        System.out.println(value);
        //extract workspace value
        answer[i] = extractLast(value);
        //extract carry
        carry = extractAllButLast(value);

    }

A: The problem is in your for loop, what you are doing is, for each iteration of your outer loop you are keeping row number constant (outer loop) and increasing your column number (inner loop)  which explains why you are going across.
What you need to do is swap whatever is in round brackets of your outer for loop with whatever you have in the round brackets of your inner for loop
public static long addUpWorkspace(int rowCount,long[][]workspace){
long carry = 0;
long[]answer = new long[rowCount+rowCount-1];
//for every column
for (int j = 0; j < rowCount+rowCount-1; j++){
    long value = 0;
    //for every row
    for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++ ){
        value+=workspace[i][j];
    }
    value+=carry;

    System.out.println(value);
    //extract workspace value
    answer[i] = extractLast(value);
    //extract carry
    carry = extractAllButLast(value);

}

The virtual classroom system, which delivers live interactive technical education via high-resolution video connections, is operated by a division of the former Avnet Technology Solutions group that Tech Data officially acquired last month.
Reseller partners of Tech Data Corp. now have access to an immersive cloud-based training solution that the Clearwater, Fla.-based distributor acquired through its purchase of Avnet Inc.'s Technology Solutions group.
Called the Individual Multimedia Video Presence (iMVP) learning environment, the virtual classroom system uses bi-directional, high-resolution video connections to deliver live online technical education courses in which students can interact with instructors or each other while participating in hands-on labs and collaborative exercises. The system runs on smartphone, tablets, and both desktop and laptop PCs.
iMVP is owned and operated by ExitCertified, an education services division of Technology Solutions. According to Tech Data, ExitCertified has trained over 10,000 students in 67 countries via iMVP over the past five years.
Tech Data's $2.6 billion acquisition of the former Avnet Technology Solutions closed last month. Today's announcement is an early example of what will undoubtedly be numerous efforts to help legacy Tech Data resellers benefit from Technology Solutions assets and one-time Avnet partners tap into Tech Data resources.

Турецько-український договір про дружбу і братерство ()— договір про дружбу між Україною та Туреччиною, УРСР та Туреччиною, який було укладено 1922 року.

Історія
За царського періоду до початку Першої світової війни в Україні було створено Українсько-визвольний союз з вимогою посилення незалежності в Росії.

У 1914 у Стамбулі відкрито одну з філій, за допомогою якої Туреччина змогла відновити прямий зв'язок з Україною.

9 лютого 1918 під час Брестських Литовських переговорів, що розпочалися в 1917 р. разом з більшовицькою революцією, між Османською імперією та Україною був підписаний мирний договір. Цим договором було визнано незалежність України.

Після цього періоду двосторонні відносини покращилися.

12 лютого 1918 р., а пізніше 17 вересня 1921 р. були підписані договори про повернення солдатів та цивільних осіб, захоплених між двома державами у період війни. Після цього дипломатичні відносини покращилися, і делегації посольства Туреччини та України знайшли спільні мову. Комерційними договорами обидві сторони здобули комерційні права та зайнялися спільною комерційною діяльністю.

З іншого боку, Московський договір, який був підписаний 16 березня 1921 року між Російською Радянською Федеративною Соціалістичною Республікою та Великою Національною Асамблеєю (Туреччиною). З підписанням цього договору наступив період сприяння дружбі між народами.

13 жовтня 1921 року підписали договір про дружбу між Вірменською, Азербайджанською та Грузинською РСР з одного боку, й Туреччиною — з іншого; укладено за участі РРФСР, в місті Карс на конференції, скликаній 26 вересня на виконання Московської угоди між РРФСР і Туреччиною від 16 березня 1921 року. Цей договір проголошував взаємне дипломатичне визнання обох сторін, зазначав існуючу між ними солідарність у боротьбі проти імперіалізму та бажання встановити найкращі відносини.

Реалізація договору
У той час Українська ДСК могла проводити незалежну політику у зовнішніх справах.

Українська РСР почала офіційні відносини з ЦК Української більшовицької партії та делегатами члена ЦК СРСР Михайлом Васильовичем Фрунзе, що здійснили візит до Туреччини 26 листопада 1921 року, делегацією у складі 40 осіб.

25 грудня делегація парламенту зустрілася з підписантами і вони розпочали конференцію між Україною та Туреччиною. У підсумку цієї конференції між Туреччиною та Україною було підписано Договір про дружбу і братство.

Від імені уряду Анкари підписантом виступив міністр закордонних справ Юсуф Кемаль (Тенгіршенк), від імені Української ДСК — Михайло Фрунзе, член ЦК СРСР, який очолював Надзвичайну місію УСРР у Туреччині.

Наслідки договору
Відносини, які були встановлені договором, зміцнилися підписанням торгової угоди у травні 1922 року.

Dune Series
Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family--and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

Dune Messiah continues the story of Paul Atreides, better known-and feared-as the man christened Muad'Dib. As Emperor of the Known Universe, he possesses more power than a single man was ever meant to wield. Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremens, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne-and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence.
And even as House Atreides begins to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family's dynasty.

To preserve humanity's future, he sacrificed his own by merging with a sandworm, granting him nearimmortality as God Emperor of Dune for the past 3,500 years.
Leto's rule is not a benevolent one. His transformation has not only made his appearance inhuman, but his morality. A rebellion has risen to oppose the despot's rule, led by Siona, a member of the Atreides family.

AL-21 AcroElsa was one of the figures in the X-2 series that used some new tooling for the body (the other one was AcroPlana and AcroMedalg). AcroElsa had retool pelvic section along with new feet design (barefoot). Elsa had one of the more interesting color scheme with clear pink body and white camouflage pattern over her body. She also sported silver badge on the right side of her chest. With the exception of Plana, Takara seems to go for "less is more" design for the X-2 series. AcroElsa had very little accessories and armor pieces. She came with two arm-wings, four bracelets (in metallic pink) and wand (complete with heart shape motif). However, while she might lack in accessories, Elsa came with a cool animal cat pet sidekick. This was the first full size "pet" figure to appeared in the new 2004 series and a nice homage to the pet figures found in the vintage Microman series. The jungle cat (AcroPanther) was done in clear purple with compartment for the extra accessories and several 5mm and 2.5mm ports and connectors. The pet parts can be used as accessories for AcroElsa to change her appearance even the cat head can be remove and used on Elsa so she appeared to have mechanical cat head (the head seem to be a homage to Microman Odin from the Magne series). Aside from the cat head and purple cat mask, Elsa even came with interchangeable hair style so she can appeared with pig-tail hairstyle. Elsa is probably one of the most "girlie toy" to come out for the Microman series. The figure just ooze that girl toy feel from the bright pink body to the various accessories. Even my little daughter who usually doesn't really care much for my Microman toys, finds this figure interesting and want to actually play with it.


Their name comes from the fact they make a lot of noise, but according to one teen magazine The Racket are much more than noise.
Their name comes from the fact they make a lot of noise, but according to one teen magazine and fans across the Bulkley Valley, The Racket are much more than noise.
With less than two years under their belts as a collective, frontman, guitarist and lead vocalist Eli Larson,17, together with bassist Stephen DeWit, 18, and drummer Simon Stockner, 17, have come together as a unit.
With their latest EP, Out of the Cold, released on iTunes, the trio are now focused on taking home the top prize in the youthink magazine's Best Teen Band Contest 2013.
The grand prize includes $2,000 towards music development, $500 gift certificate to Long and McQuade, recording of one single by Jay Evjen and a one-day songwriting session with acclaimed songwriter Shaun Verreault of Wide Mouth Mason and the list goes on.
Although the trio originally met when they were about 12 years-old, it wasn't until five years later they would meet as musicians at the 2011 Midsummer Music Festival.
There, Larson and Stockner, performed as a duo.
"These guys are good," DeWit recalls thinking when he heard the pair on stage.
"But I thought man they could sure use a bass player.
DeWit then ran into Stockner a week later at a music camp and asked if he could join the band.
Larson admits it took a while to get used to having someone playing the songs with him.
"When it was just Simon and me, I didn't have to worry about what key I was playing in, I just played," Larson said.
Watching the three interact, it is clear music has forged a strong friendship, which in turn has nurtured their music.
"We're like brothers," DeWit added.
The band spent the winter and spring practicing before hitting the festival stages, including gigs at the 2012 Midsummer Music and Kispiox Music Festivals, as well as the Telkwa BBQ where they opened for Trooper.
"We were the first band to play on the new stage in Telkwa," DeWit said.
The songs on their recently released EP, Out of the Cold, reflect varied tastes in music centred around straight-ahead rock music.
There are hints of Celtic music, blues, folk, but with their own original spin.
The EP was produced by Jake Jenne and James Lamb.
Their musical tastes are varied, as indicated by the artists they would most enjoy playing with, including the likes of The Black Keys, Led Zeppelin, Joe Cocker and Jeff Buckley.
The Racket have come a long way in just a short time, but they still have big plans, including coming up with another set of songs and hitting the stage as much as they can.
Although they would welcome tremendous success, their focus will always be the music, Larson said.
"We're going to try our best to take it as far as we can," DeWit said.
"But if that means we're just making good music because we like making good music, then that's OK too.
Part of doing it their way is writing songs together, which requires a bit of trust, Larson said.
"Now we're a lot more of a collective," Larson said.
Ideas, riffs are shared and the others add their musical two-cents worth.

Bajofondo
Vicentico
Bajofondo is a "Río de la Plata"-based music band consisting of eight musicians from Argentina and Uruguay. The band, which refers to itself as a "collective of composers, singers and artists", was formerly called "Bajofondo Tango Club", but shortened the name to "Bajofondo" after they felt their style had broadened, as was announced on their live concert in Berlin in April 2008.
Often compared to Gotan Project, their earlier music had blended acoustic tango and electronic music, part of an evolving tango genre which is known as "Electrotango", which brought tango back into the mainstream. Besides the aforementioned mixture of tango and techno, the band is an innovative form of DNB, house music, chill out and trip-hop. Their first record, Bajofondo Tango Club, was launched in 2003 with great success, with a second lone project from pianist/DJ/composer Luciano Supervielle greeted warmly by reviewers in late 2005. More recent music from their third album, Mar Dulce, is a fusion of Latin Alternative with contemporary music forms along the Río de la Plata at the border of Argentina and Uruguay.


Dazzling. Luminous. Brilliant. Flip through the pages of your favorite fashion magazine or celebrity style blog, and you'll find these words used repeatedly to describe the smiles of your favorite stars. When it comes to celebrities' pearly whites, is it simply a matter of good genes? We think not, says Dr. Angela Ganjoor, a cosmetic dentist in Celina, TX. Dr. Ganjoor shares celebrity dentists' teeth whitening secrets from the latest issue of Elle magazine.
Start with a whitening toothpaste of your choice, but understand that toothpaste alone isn't sufficient to achieve significant brightening. Although these products contain a small amount of peroxide, they work mostly to scrub away plaque and light staining from the surface of your teeth. For more dramatic results, you'll need professional cleaning and whitening treatments. Visit Dr. Ganjoor at least once every six months, or more frequently as recommended. Doing so prevents food and debris from accumulating on your teeth while protecting your mouth against periodontal disease, bad breath, and tooth decay.
One Hollywood dentist, whose celebrity patients include fashion models, rock stars and A-list actors, adds that using an electric toothbrush prevents or removes buildup from between teeth and beneath the gum line. Using sonic waves, some electric brushes loosen plaque and tartar. Others scrub and polish the surface of your teeth to produce a smooth, gleaming appearance. Both dentists agree that using mouthwash, whitening formula or otherwise, helps reach areas not touched by your toothbrush. Avoid mouthwash that contains alcohol, as its drying effect on your mouth contributes to bad breath and increases your risk for tooth decay.
Should You Go the Professional Route?
You probably know that your skin has pores, but did you know that teeth have pores, too? Oil and dirt clog pores, leading to skin irritations and pimples. Similarly, tooth enamel that has been badly damaged and pitted is more prone to staining. Heavily pigmented substances, such as berries, wine, and certain fruits, remain in these open pores. Professional teeth whitening removes stains from the pores in your teeth.
Dr. Ganjoor offers two options for dramatic, effective teeth whitening: an in-office system, LumiBrite, and take-home whitening kits. Which is best for you? LumiBrite is ideal if you desire instant gratification, achieving up to 10 shades of whitening within a single one-hour treatment. Our home whitening system produces enviable results, albeit more gradually. Most patients achieve optimal whitening within two to four weeks of at-home treatment.
What could you do with a brighter smile? To learn more about teeth whitening in Celina, TX, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Angela Ganjoor, contact our office at 214. 851. 0130. We welcome patients living in McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Gunter, Pilot Point and the surrounding communities. For the latest news and updates, follow us on Facebook.

Der Gestreckte Schabemund-Buntbarsch (Labeotropheus trewavasae) ist eine Buntbarschart, die im Felslitoral des ostafrikanischen Malawisees vorkommt. Die Art wurde zu Ehren der Ichthyologin Ethelwynn Trewavas benannt.

Merkmale
Der Gestreckte Schabemund-Buntbarsch wird etwa 12 cm lang. Die Art ähnelt stark dem nah verwandten Schabemund-Buntbarsch (Labeotropheus fuelleborni), mit dem er sich noch hybridisieren lässt, unterscheidet sich von diesem aber durch seine stärker gestreckte Gestalt und den seitlich weniger abgeflachten Körper. Der Gestreckte Schabemund-Buntbarsch hat meist zwei Wirbel mehr als Labeotropheus fuelleborni. Farblich ist die Art sehr variabel und hat noch mehr sich farblich unterscheidende regionale Populationen als sein Verwandter. Männchen sind meist kräftig blau gefärbt und zeigen 9 bis 11 schwarze Querstreifen auf den Körperseiten. Im südlichen Seeabschnitt haben sie oft eine gelbliche bis rote Rückenflosse und auch After- und Schwanzflosse. Außerdem sind dort die Bauchflossen teilweise gelb gefärbt. Im Südosten ist der gesamte Rücken rotbraun. Die Afterflosse der Männchen aller Farbformen hat 4 bis 5 kleine Eiflecken. Weibchen sind eher blaugrau gefärbt, aber auch leuchtend orangefarbene oder dunkel getüpfelte bei weißlich gelber, gelber, hellbrauner oder rosa Grundfarbe kommen vor. Die meisten Tiere besitzen ein dunkles Band zwischen den Augen und ein weiteres zwischen den Nasenöffnungen.

 Flossenformel: Dorsale XVII–XIX/7–8, Anale III/7–8.
 Schuppenformel: mLR 33–35.

Lebensweise
Der Gestreckte Schabemund-Buntbarsch lebt im Felslitoral fast des gesamten Malawisees. Er ernährt sich von Aufwuchs und frisst neben Algen auch Würmer, Krebstiere, Insekten und totes Pflanzenmaterial. Im Unterschied zu anderen Mbuna muss der Gestreckte Schabemund-Buntbarsch sich beim Fressen nicht senkrecht stellen, sondern kann dank seinem unterständigen Schabemaul in "normaler", waagerechter Körperhaltung fressen. Gestreckte Schabemund-Buntbarsche sind revierbildend und untereinander aggressiv. Wie fast alle Malawiseebuntbarsche sind sie Maulbrüter.

Batman gets LEGO treatment
TT tackles masked crusader.
News by	Robert Purchese, Senior Staff Writer
Updated on 28 March 2007
Traveller's Tales has announced it is working on a LEGO Batman game for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and DS.
All will be available sometime in 2008, and older console versions are also being considered.
It is, of course, the same team that bought us LEGO Star Wars, which turned out to be a resounding hit with all age of gamers. So expect to see more of the same, Traveller's Tales director Tom Stone told Kiziko, as "We're going to do exactly what we did with LEGO Star Wars."
Traveller's Tales will be working with DC comics to create an entirely new adventure not related to either the films nor television show, and has been given future access to the Batman vaults.
The Joker and the Penguin are expected to rear their evil heads in this new adaptation, as is the spooky Arkham Asylum. However, there's no word on the camp crusader's partner Robin, or the elusive Catwoman, though we expect they may well be unlockable.
Downloadable content is planned at some stage for Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, but other than that all games should more or less be the same.
We were unable to get hold of Traveller's Tales for more information, but we'll keep you posted.

Determining Single Composite & Multiple Supplies is Vital in Dealing with VAT in the UAE
December 5, 2020 Tax/VAT
Taxable persons in the UAE need to be wary of supplies of goods & services composed of multiple elements combined in a single transaction. When such supplies occur, the taxpayers need to determine if they are making multiple supplies or single composite supplies. In the case of a 'Multiple Supply', the supplier should treat each element of the supply separately for VAT purposes.
If a single composite supply is made, the supplier needs to understand that all elements receive the same VAT treatment. The task of identifying such supplies and determining the VAT rates associated with the supply often leaves the supplier confused. However, the assistance of prominent VAT consultants in Dubai could help them ease the intricacies. Here we are addressing the issues associated with determining Multiple and Single Composite Supplies.
Determining whether Supply is Multiple or Composite
Article 4 of the VAT Executive Regulations provides key insights into supplies of more than one component. As per the law, a Single Composite Supply Occurs in the following cases,
Cases where there are a principal component and additional components that are necessary to the making of the supply. The additional components should normally accompany the supply but are not a significant part of it.
When there is a supply that has two or more elements so closely linked as to form a single supply which it would be impossible or unnatural to split.
Also, the businesses should ensure that the supply is not separately identified or charged by the supplier. Further, all components of the supply should be supplied by a single supplier.
Where a Taxable Person supplies more than one component for one price, and the supply is not a single composite supply, then the supply of the components shall be treated as multiple supplies.
Understanding Single Composite Supply with Example
An airline service sells a customer an international business class ticket that comes with the benefit of lounge access. Here the international travel sought by the passenger is the principal component of the supply. The principal component, in this case, is subject to 0% VAT. The lounge access is an additional benefit that comes along with the principal component of air travel.
The lounge access could be purchased only along with the transportation service. It cannot be availed independently without first purchasing the transportation service. In this case, the lounge access doesn't constitute an aim itself. Therefore, the entire transaction is subject to 0% VAT under the international transportation service.
Understanding Multiple Composite Supply with Example
Now, consider a case where the customer purchased an economy class ticket from an airline company. The ticket doesn't include the lounge access benefit, but there is an offer where he can purchase access to the lounge at a discounted price. Here, the supplier should understand that the VAT rate may differ from the previous scenario illustrated previously.
In this example, the lounge access involves a clearly identifiable value that is separate from the principal component (international travel). The customer, in this case, is purchasing the lounge access by paying an additional amount which constitutes an aim itself. The supplier, in this case, needs to apply the VAT treatment as per the Multiple Supply Analysis with the lounge access component of the supply subjected to 5% VAT. Consult with reputed VAT consultants in Dubai for identifying the Multiple Composite Supplies and determining the applicable VAT rates.
Avoid Errors in Classification by Hiring VAT Consultants in Dubai
As illustrated through these two examples, the taxable persons should determine whether they are making single composite supplies or multiple composite supplies. Since VAT treatments may vary depending on the elements involved, the taxable persons should ensure that the supplies are receiving the right VAT treatment. The process also involves the risk of different interpretations from the FTA and the taxpayers. To ensure tax compliance, it is advisable to identify the supplies earlier for which VAT consultants in Dubai, such as Jitendra Chartered Accountants (JCA). JCA has highly qualified tax agents who could provide accurate insights on VAT rates on various goods and services. By availing of JCA's services, the taxpayers can comply with the VAT as per FTA standards.
