ACA and ICD-10 spell trouble for claims paying operations
Daniel Enthoven
From the November 2013 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
A recent Enkata survey found that while many health care payers are unconcerned about potential impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and ICD-10, their complacency could be ill-founded. Our survey found that a primary concern of claims payers is meeting the Service Level Agreements they have with service providers. However, while 53% of payers expect claims volumes to rise substantially in the next two years, only 26% expect to improve their auto-adjudication rates. Meanwhile, 80% of payers don't expect to increase the headcount of claims processors. Obviously, something has to give for payers to meet their SLAs without hiring or improving automation.
The situation is further complicated by the lack of visibility into how the ACA and ICD-10 will impact claims paying operations. ICD- 10 may come and go without a hitch. However, if it has even a modest impact on auto-adjudication rates, the claims paying operation could be overwhelmed. Likewise, if the ACA brings a large volume of previously uninsured consumers who need health services, the initial result could be a significant spike in claims.
Fortunately, companies are taking some steps to address these changes. In fact, of the companies participating in exchanges, 89% were making some internal adjustments. Additionally, 86% of all payers reported making changes to prepare for ICD-10. When asked what kinds of changes were being made, virtually all of the companies said they were looking at technology investments and process improvements to deliver the required efficiency improvements.
Is it realistic to expect process and technology improvements to deliver the needed gains? With few companies reporting expected improvements in auto-adjudication, most payers must be looking to manual claims processing to get required efficiencies.
Can Manual Claims Processing Handle The Load?
Performance data from Enkata indicates that there is the potential for improvements of up to 20% or even more in some organizations using technology. Error rates could also be reduced by 10% or more. In looking at performance gaps between the leaders and average performers, we have found that the quantity of completed work could be increased by 10% to 15% though simple interventions and better technological management tools. This would free up resources currently used to correct errors and recover overpayments.
Unfortunately, it won't be easy to achieve these gains. Most of the easy and obvious fixes have already been put in place. Using the same approach, it's unlikely payers will find additional performance gains. That said, where we have studied employee performance, we've found there are often simple steps that can improve performance.

NCAP is pleased to announce our Rachel Carson Award Winners for 2017!
NCAP's Rachel Carson award highlights efforts to reduce and eliminate pesticides in ways that protect community and environmental health. Join us in honoring these amazing individuals at our Healthy Harvest Celebration on October 7th in Eugene! We will also have a house party in Seattle this fall to honor our Washington awardees.
Debbie Schlenoff, Maeve Sowles and Louise Shimmel worked as a team and partnered with NCAP, publishing an op-ed piece about Rozol and other rodenticides. Using rodenticides for home, farm or forest management does not justify the danger to our pets, the harm done to raptors, native fish and other wildlife or the long-term risk to our valued waterways and ecosystems. They helped inform the public and policy makers about alternatives and pushed for policy change.
"We need stronger safety measures in Oregon that include restricted use of rodenticides and better education about alternative management practices that are healthier for people, fish and wildlife, and our waterways."
Debbie Schlenoff is conservation chair and board member of the Lane County Audubon Society, a group of volunteers who provide opportunities for people to learn about and experience nature. They help community members provide comments to policy makers to help conserve and protect wildlife and their habitat. Debbie also teaches courses in animal behavior and conservation biology at the University of Oregon. Debbie enjoys watching everything from ants to ant-eating birds while hiking with her family.
Maeve Sowles is a life-long outdoor enthusiast and lover of the natural world. She has used her association with the Audubon Society to help promote the love of nature in others and to help protect nature in all its wonderful forms. Maeve has been president of Lane County Audubon Society since 2000.
Louise Shimmel founded and manages the day-to-day operations of Cascades Raptor Center. A state and federally licensed rehabilitator since 1985, Louise has substantial experience in wildlife rehabilitation. She has participated in all the Skills Seminars offered by the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (IWRC), done short externships at the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota School of Veterinary Medicine, completed the radiographic certification class required by the state, and worked closely with local veterinarians on wildlife cases.
Kerry Rappold is the Natural Resources Manager for the City of Wilsonville. During his 16 years with the City, he has had responsibility for program development; capital project planning and implementation; stormwater management and permitting; managing enhancement and restoration projects; and environmental education. Kerry was instrumental in starting the Wilsonville Bee Stewards program. Once the site of a prominent pesticide-caused bee die off, Wilsonville is now an official Bee City USA. Working with NCAP and other partners, Kerry helped Wilsonville create pollinator habitat on city and school district-owned property, develop a city Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan and provide education and tools for local residents to create pollinator habitat in their own yards.
Stephanie Lecovin and Rachel Koller are PTA leaders and NCAP supporters whose involvement was instrumental in passing the PTA Environmental Resolution at the October 2016 PTA Legislative Assembly. Both Stephanie and Rachel worked with Program Director Megan Dunn to draft the resolution language and authored the presentation. Stephanie helped deliver the presentation and repeated it three times to three groups! Stephanie also presented how a PTA can use the resolution to improve school environmental health programs to her PTA council and to the State PTA convention.
Stephanie also helped establish her school, Peter Kirk Elementary, as a pesticide free school. She has been working with the Lake Washington School district with an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM). Stephanie has been strong advocate for children's health.
Rachel created a green cleaning classroom kit and helped integrate healthy cleaning programs as part of school environmental health and pest management. She has been active with the Children's Environmental Health Working group of Washington and brings an important environmental science perspective.

Bob Dylan, the artist
Bob Dylan – probably the most famous songwriter of our times – and also a painter. Alongside writing over 500 songs, such as Knockin' on Heaven's Door and Blowin' in the Wind, Dylan has always enjoyed painting and drawing to relax while on tour. Now his visual works on are getting more interest, here's some more about them:
What does he do? Bob Dylan art, a series of paintings in watercolour and gouache, and drawings in pastel and pencil – figurative works in bold strong colour in an energetic loose style. He paints mostly from life: 'I'm pretty much interested in people, histories, myth, and portraits; people of all stripes'.
How long has he been an artist? He's been painting and drawing since the 60s. He said: 'I would start with whatever was at hand. I sat at the table, took out a pencil and paper and drew the typewriter, a crucifix, a rose, pencils, knives and pins, empty cigarette boxes. I'd lose track of time completely…. Not that I thought I was any great drawer, but I did feel like I was putting an orderliness to the chaos around.'
Has he studied art? In 1974, he spent two months studying art with Norman Raeben in New York. This had a huge influence on him, and "taught me how to see in a way that allowed me to do consciously what I unconsciously felt…"
Do his paintings relate to his music? Most of them don't directly, but a few drawings appear on his album covers, such as Music from Big Pink (1968).
Is his work collectable? Fairly, some love it because they're Bob Dylan fans – there's a growing band of "rock art" lovers.
What sort of prices do the works sell for? His gallery shows have had works priced from £1,000 upwards for gouaches and limited edition prints.
Gallery shows: although he's been making art since the 60s, he didn't have his first gallery show till 2007. This first show was Bob Dylan, The Drawn Blank Series in Chemnitz, Germany. After that, he had a show at the Statens Museum in Copenhagen in 2010. In 2011 and 2013 he had shows at Gagosian New York.

Home Football Cristiano Ronaldo To Move To Leave Juventus For Manchester City Before Transfer...

Cristiano Ronaldo To Move To Leave Juventus For Manchester City Before Transfer Window Shuts
Juventus requesting that Cristiano Ronaldo was with the Serie A giants, media reports in Italy suggested that the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star has decided to move.
Premier League champions club Manchester City held reported to be closing in on a deal late Thursday to bring Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo back to England.
Sky Sport Italia claimed the Portugal captain has even cleaned out his locker in the dressing room at Juventus and is unwilling to make himself available to face Empoli this weekend. If a deal is to be reached, the clock is ticking with the transfer window set to close on Tuesday.
Premier League champions City has been widely linked with a move for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner after missing out on England captain Harry Kane.
The fee, however, could be a problem with the Italians believed to be wanting in the region of 25 million euros.
Ronaldo, who has one year remaining on his deal in Turin, has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri insisted that he had received assurances from the Portugal star over his future.
"Let's clarify this issue, Ronaldo told me that he's staying," Allegri said in response to numerous questions on Ronaldo's form and mindset ahead of Sunday's Serie A opener at Udinese.
"He has always trained well and has always been available. I've read rumours in the papers, but he's never wanted to leave Juventus."
Italy's top scorer last season with 29 goals started the Udinese game on the bench.
Last week, Ronaldo himself rubbished reports of a move back to Real Madrid, calling them "disrespectful" and saying that stories of his departure were written with "nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth".
Real have since had an initial bid of 160 million euros for PSG star Kylian Mbappe rejected, but according to French media reports are set to make a second offer of 180 million.
That would close any route for Ronaldo back to the Santiago Bernabeu, although as well as the reports of a possible move to City, there have also been rumours he could join old rival Lionel Messi in Paris to replace Mbappe should the Frenchman leave.
36-year-old Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for Manchester United early in his career before leaving for Madrid in 2009.
Ronaldo joined Juventus in 2018 after scoring a remarkable 450 goals in 438 appearances in a glittering nine-year spell at the Bernabeu that also included four Champions League triumphs.
At Juventus, his hopes of winning another Champions League have been thwarted, with the club failing to get beyond the quarter-finals during his time.
Last season, they were deposed as Italian champions by Inter Milan.

Where is this new and improved park? It looks lovely.
It is off of Pierre Koenig, between Yehuda and Rivka, under the new buildings of Bustan Baka.
Shabbat Shalom and happy Tu'B'Shevat. I sent this photo journalism out to the entire list of the Jewish Community on our island…I know that many people will find it absolutely beautiful…especially since we have an unseasonal foot of snow and it's still snowing…our snowdrops and all of the flowers that were peeking up are way under the snow…hopefully to rise again in the weeks ahead.
I'm a friend of Hannah's. Love these messages from Israel to remind us that life there is mostly a joy, the news notwithstanding. Salt Spring Island and Jerusalem move in tandem through the seasons – just not this year…as Hannah notes. Snow still falling.
Michael Thank you. Having lived in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, I appreciate what a big deal snow is for everyone there.
Beautiful! Happy Tu B`Shevat from Japan!!

Good thing for us that the boxing match was staged in Champlain, New York, a city close to the Canadian border, and a fair distance from Dannemora, my hometown. The promoters, according to my father, picked Champlain so they could advertise the match as an international event. My brother Eddie's opponent was Claude Michaud. Eddie was called Prince Edward, like the island, and I was tempted to ask Dad why Claude Michaud didn't have a nickname, since Dad was a new authority on boxing, but I left it alone. Claude, the Cougar, Cougar Claude, or the Big Canuck would be choice names for the guy.
I was in the passenger seat, in my mother's spot. She was at home. I didn't know if she'd had any selection in the matter. The topic of Eddie was "off limits," Dad had said many times. Funny thing is, Mom didn't cry or raise a ruckus about me seeing the boxing match at the tender age of twelve.
When I was four, and Eddie was eleven, going on a trip to visit relatives, a horse supposedly jumped right over the nose of our car, but Eddie and I missed out on seeing the spectacle because we were goofing around in the back seat, and every time we went on the same road on other visits, my parents would repeat the story of what happened.
"I thought for sure I was going to hit it," my father would say, "but it leaped right over the front of the car. Your mother screamed."
"I'll never forget it," she'd say, adding details about the horse's tail and the sound its hooves made clattering on the road.
I'd heard the story so many times, I thought I'd seen the thing for real, even though what I chiefly remember are the moments leading up to the horse event. It was hot in the car, and the upholstery smelled like mashed potatoes, beef and gravy. My parents were smoking to beat the band, and I felt queasy. Who wouldn't? Then Eddie's dolls toppled to the floor in the back when Dad slammed on the brakes. Eddie's Ken doll in beachwear landed on top of Barbie in a shapely swimsuit, her eyes fluttering, and I connected Mom's screaming to the dolls, like Mom had eyes in the back of her head.
She might've said, or maybe it was Dad, who said, "Jesus, did you see that? When troubles come, they come in battalions."
Did Eddie laugh? Giggle. Make a smart-aleck comment?
Dad smacked him. That's what happened for real.
When we pulled into Champlain, I saw a couple of posters on telephone poles for the bout between Prince Edward and Claude Michaud, and asked Dad if he thought there'd be a big crowd at the fight.
"What a question," he said. "Everybody and his brother will be there."
Men stood outside the Moose Club, feathers of breath riding from their mouths, and the cars in the lot had hats of snow on their roofs.
It smelled of wet wool and cigars and cigarettes inside. Rows of wooden chairs faced the ring, which was smaller than I expected, a cuff of smoke above it. People hooted and whistled at the announcement of Eddie's name, and when he glided toward the ring, Dad looked down at the floor. Eddie's hair was bleached yellow, and his silk boxing trunks were the color of monarch butterflies.
Claude Michaud wore white trunks, and he winked at Eddie, which got a big laugh from spectators.
"You hoping to get pollinated?"Claude shouted at Eddie.
Don't do it, I thought, but Eddie imitated Mohammad Ali. He pranced around the ring, making windmill motions with his arms, and getting jeers from the audience.
I didn't know that you could hear the wet, thudding sound gloves make, or the boxers' noises, little sounds, like they were reacting to a surprise. When Eddie held his opponent, people squealed, and the referee separated the boxers, but I knew the ref was hamming it up, warning just Eddie, and then Eddie socked Claude in the jaw, and Claude's head whipped back like a wet towel, sweat and spit flying around.
The match was over, and Eddie moved around the ring, raising his arms, and blowing kisses at the audience. I didn't know if he could see us, but I waved, then felt a constriction in my chest, as if a noose had been tied around it, when Eddie gave me a wink.
"He's a genuine dandy," I heard a man say. "We got our money's worth tonight."
"A semi-professional drag show," his seatmate said.
"It's rigged," said another man said. "The whole thing's phony as a three-dollar bill."
Dad was looking at his shoes, the good ones he reserves for church and work. Popcorn, peanut shells, beer cans, and cigarette butts were on the concrete floor, and then popcorn boxes, cans, and food wrappers went into orbit as a man in a cardigan sweater led Eddie away.
"How'd you like to be the person who has to clean this place?" I asked, Mom's standard line at the movies and restaurants, but got no response from Dad, so I touched his sleeve. "Come on. Let's go home."
He brushed my hand away, then got up and left. I sat there like a dope, the lone female in the Moose Hall, and when a man approached, asking if I was lost, and what in hell must've possessed my parents into depositing me here, I could've said I was Prince Edward's girl, but said that I was writing a school report on boxing.
Dad was ripping posters down outside, and when I went up to him, he glanced around at people getting into their cars, then lowered his head. His eyelashes were thatched with frost. Maybe he'd cried, and didn't want to risk anyone seeing him that way, especially me, "the Babe," Eddie's little sister, earning a nickname from Dad that I'd always despised.

On Wall Street, a Protest Matures
ANDREW ROSS SORKIN
"I think a good deal of the bankers should be in jail."
That is what Andrew Cole, an unemployed 24-year-old graduate of Bucknell University, told me Monday morning in Zuccotti Park, the epicenter of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Mr. Cole, an articulate young man dressed in jeans, a sweatshirt and with a blue wool beanie on his head, had just arrived by bus from Madison, Wis., where he recently lost his job.
There was nothing particularly menacing or dangerous about Mr. Cole. He said he had come to participate in Occupy Wall Street because he believed in its "anticapitalist" message. "I see Wall Street as responsible for the mess we're in."
I had gone down to Zuccotti Park to see the activist movement firsthand after getting a call from the chief executive of a major bank last week, before nearly 700 people were arrested over the weekend during a demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge.
"Is this Occupy Wall Street thing a big deal?" the C.E.O. asked me. I didn't have an answer. "We're trying to figure out how much we should be worried about all of this," he continued, clearly concerned. "Is this going to turn into a personal safety problem?"
As I wandered around the park, it was clear to me that most bankers probably don't have to worry about being in imminent personal danger. This didn't seem like a brutal group - at least not yet.
But the underlying message of Occupy Wall Street - which spread to Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles on Monday - is something the big banks and corporate America may finally have to grapple with before it actually does become dangerous.
What's the message?
At times it can be hard to discern, but, at least to me, the message was clear: the demonstrators are seeking accountability for Wall Street and corporate America for the financial crisis and the growing economic inequality gap.
And that message is a warning shot about the kind of civil unrest that may emerge - as we've seen in some European countries - if our economy continues to struggle.
"Ultimately this is about power and greed, unchecked," said Jodie Evans, the co-founder of Code Pink. She, too, said she wanted to see Wall Street executives go to jail.
Consider the protests a delayed reaction to the financial crisis that has now reached a fever pitch as the public's lust for scalp has gone unfulfilled. In Chicago on Monday, one sign read: "If corporations are people, why can't we put them in jail?"
In Zuccotti Park, several protesters were gathered around a laptop watching an online video that had just gone viral of Rosanne Barr, the comedian, recently interviewed by a newscaster.
"I am in favor of the return of the guillotine," she told a newscaster, in reference to bankers, with a straight face. "I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million," she said, before adding that they should go to "re-education camps and if that doesn't help, then being beheaded." She made the comments without a hint of laughter, yet the group watching around the laptop seemed to be quite amused.
Some people have suggested the Occupy Wall Street protest is a mere form of street theater, that the protesters have a myriad of grievances with no particular agenda. All of that may be true.
Edward Heath, 36, of Chicago, who is unemployed, said he was participating in the protest, in part, to ensure a more fair tax regime. When I asked about his views on Warren Buffett's "Buffett Rule," he replied: "I really can't comment because I haven't heard of him." But this group may be worth paying attention to if for no other reason than they are organized and growing in ranks. (They are beginning to link up with union organizations.) Later this week, more protests are expected to be staged around the country with the number of protesters swelling. And they are beginning to form groups to develop demands.
"We're disenfranchised," said Chris Cobb, a 41-year-old writer and designer from Brooklyn who was conducting mock interviews with a cardboard television camera and microphone emblazoned with the Fox News logo. "Wall Street is a metaphor for the financial industry," Mr. Cobb said.
Acknowledging that most financial executives now work in Midtown, he said with a laugh, "We couldn't do this on Park Avenue. Park Avenue isn't a metaphor for anything. This is a metaphor for David and Goliath." While the protesters generally didn't talk much about politics, most leaned left. Mr. Cobb said, "Like the Tea Party was about reinvigorating the right, this is about reinvigorating the left."
As evidence of the underlying politics, Ms. Evans volunteered that she had proudly disrupted the Koch brothers' Tea Party conference earlier this year in Palm Springs, Calif. "They put me in shackles," she said with a grin. "They were looking down at me with their drinks in hand."
Ms. Evans, who said she has made a career of participating in protests, said she had just flown to New York from Los Angeles to join Occupy Wall Street. How did she get here, I asked. "Virgin America," she replied with a smile. But doesn't Virgin America represent the corporations you are trying to fight? "No," she insisted. Referring to Richard Branson, she said, "He's working on creating solar planes."
As I was leaving, having spoken to scores of protesters, I noticed two of them walking over to the A.T.M. at Bank of America. As much as this group may want to get away from Wall Street and corporate America, it may be trapped by it. In the eyes of these young protesters, until they can unshackle themselves from the system - or perhaps make the system work for them - the sense of unrest is unlikely to go away anytime soon.

Sometimes I think I need to take a step back from online sample sale sites. And then something pops up that I MUST HAVE and I know the price is going to be good, then I'm back to checking all of them religiously. Well, not all of them, really only Gilt, Hautelook, ideeli and Rue La La (sign up for Rue La La through 8/8 and you'll get a $10 credit). I've purchased mostly from those four, and the only problems I've had are that Hautelook and ideeli take FOREVER to ship. But that's not really a problem, per se, it's just that I'm impatient.
Besides the "hurry up and buy already" issues with these sites and the frustration that comes from logging on within seconds of a start and already finding everything sold out, I've had lots of luck shopping online sample sale sites. I do buy things I wouldn't normally buy because of the price, and sometimes that's NOT a good thing, but I've been mostly happy with what I've purchased. And sometimes REALLY happy that I bought something I wouldn't normally have bought, like a DKNY bathing suit, or a relatively "normal" looking three dots dress. I've ended up wearing both of these a LOT more than I thought I would….
Today, I'm wearing my latest acquisition, a pair of Repettos scored from ideeli last Monday. Actually, this was super-fast shipping for ideeli, and I'm impressed. I'm also wearing a Nation Ltd. tunic scored on Hautelook. And Joe's Jeans. Old Joe's Jeans. I need new jeans, but first I need a new body; a healthier, smaller body…I'm working on that.
Do you shop online sample sales every day? what's your favorite site?
We have lots more sample sale sites listed on our blog! I bought a D&G watch & Walter Tanks on Sample Sale sites today!
Liane´s last blog post ..My Haul at the Online Sample Sale Sites- D&G- True Religion- Walter Tanks!
I. Am. Addicted. Big time.
I shop sample sales more than my poor bank account would like, which actually isn't all that much. =P I find myself buying things from hautelook more than any other site, although I love to browse other sites.

What Place Do Women Have In Metal?
At first glance this sounds like the most sexist thing I've ever written. In reality, it's just a pet peeve of mine that I need to address. For some reason now when it's known that a band has a female vocalist, they are put on this usually undeserving pedestal. I will also state right off the bat that I dig the shit out of some good female metal, but equally hate bad female vocals with a fiery passion. After enduring a painful set by Straight Line Stitch opening for Soulfly last Sunday it kind of made me think about this a little bit more. The band wasn't bad as a whole; it was just the vocals that negated anything good the band could possibly do. Also I'm not taking backup vocals or any instruments into account here. There are women who can kick a man's ass at every instrument and I'm aware of this. There are also women like Marta from Bleeding Through who don't even play the keyboard intro to their own live set, which makes it obvious that they are just a sex symbol used to attract fans.
Back in the mid 90's a group of teenage girls named Kittie stormed onto the metal scene and began to reestablish female metal. With a stint on Ozzfest and massive airplay from MTV, and Otep hot on their heels, females in metal became all of the hype. A decade and change before them of course was Lita Ford, Joan Jett, Warlock and Vixen. Unfortunately the biggest mark they left on the current generation is 'Barracuda' being included on Rock Band. At about the same time in the 90's, female fronted bands were sprouting out from all over the world and would later gain success in a strange, sad fashion. Bands like Lacuna Coil, Tristania , Beseech, and Within Temptation all formed around this time but gained minimal notoriety until a few years later when Evanescence exploded onto the mainstream. Every metalhead knows that Evanescence is about as metal as Creed, however they became the VH1 crowned forerunner in female fronted rock and 'metal'. Lacuna Coil's Comalies was released in 2002, and then Evanescence's Fallen was released shortly after in 2003. Fans of Evanescence then accused bands like Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation of stealing their beloved Amy Lee's trademark sound despite having been the ones to actually lay the groundwork for the movement. Fans of musical talent realized that there was some spectacular music hidden from the public eye and embraced bands like Nightwish and The Gathering with open arms as a welcome relief from the pop radio sound of the Paramores and Flyleafs that would soon haunt us for years to come.
I know that the Angela Gossows in the metal world are VERY few and far between unfortunately and I've come to terms with this. Arch Enemy also brings the total package musically which is something that most people overlook. However, most women who can scream all of a sudden think that they are a hot commodity in the metal world because Revolver will feature them as a 'Hottest Chick In Metal' regardless of them not even having an album under their belts. Bands like The Agonist, In This Moment and Walls Of Jericho become generic and interchangeable now that there are so many horrible female singers who have cashed in on the horny teenage boy factor of metal. There are girls like Taylor Momsen (yes, the same actress from 'Gossip Girl') who know that many of us would like to find a way to lock her in our basements, so they front a metal band seemingly just for the attention. Then there are the Jada Pinkett Smith's who just have entirely too much time and not enough talent on their hands that think they can scream. Unfortunately, most of the up and coming female singers either fall into the 'I'm ungodly hot so who cares if I can sing' or the 'I am woman hear me roar regardless of my lack of rhythm' categories. Unfortunately, bands like Lacuna Coil also seem to have become less inspired to write good music since becoming an international sex symbol.
I believe that Revolver's idolization of women in metal based on looks alone is a regression in music. For as nice as it is to stare at a hot chick or fifteen in an otherwise waste of a tree and ink publication of outdated news, the 'Hottest Chicks In Metal' dismisses musical talent in favor of cleavage. Seeing Lzzy Hale from Halestorm on an opposing page from Varg Vikernes makes it totally obvious that they're marketing to the wrong demographic but will keep doing so in hopes that 14 year olds will keep them from going belly up. I will go as far as saying it's degrading to women when they discredit everything that somebody has done because they'll wear lingerie and stilettos in a photo shoot for them. When their lame excuse for an interview consists of asking sexist questions and not one word about their music, it doesn't leave much for women to aspire to. If somebody said that the sexier our guitar was the more we would play like Eddie Van Halen, don't you think we'd all spend our life savings on the nicest guitar money could buy? Thankfully, a nice guitar doesn't make a great guitarist (did you hear that Job For A Cowboy?), and a great rack doesn't make a great female vocalist. The stereotype they've created makes it less necessary to have talent and more important to have breasts to be successful.
So to answer the place that women have in metal, it is on stage singing their hearts out when they can actually, you know, sing. For as nice as it is being featured in a shitty magazine, it's much more accomplishing having the rest of the band included as they praise your work and not how your ass looks in boy shorts. If you can only scream incoherent words, then you should probably find a profession that you are better at, even if it is in the kitchen. If you think that your body makes you the perfect candidate for becoming a metal singer, then you should probably just give up and become a Suicide Girl or make porn. At least in porn you'll appeal to the 15 year olds who don't care about metal as well.

`LinearOperator` acting like a scaled [batch] identity matrix `A = c I`.

This operator acts like a scaled [batch] identity matrix `A` with shape
`[B1,...,Bb, N, N]` for some `b >= 0`.  The first `b` indices index a
batch member.  For every batch index `(i1,...,ib)`, `A[i1,...,ib, : :]` is
a scaled version of the `N x N` identity matrix.

`LinearOperatorIdentity` is initialized with `num_rows`, and a `multiplier`
(a `Tensor`) of shape `[B1,...,Bb]`.  `N` is set to `num_rows`, and the
`multiplier` determines the scale for each batch member.

```python
# Create a 2 x 2 scaled identity matrix.
operator = LinearOperatorIdentity(num_rows=2, multiplier=3.)

operator.to_dense()
==> [[3., 0.]
     [0., 3.]]

operator.shape
==> [2, 2]

operator.log_determinant()
==> 2 * Log[3]

x = ... Shape [2, 4] Tensor
operator.apply(x)
==> 3 * x

y = tf.random_normal(shape=[3, 2, 4])
# Note that y.shape is compatible with operator.shape because operator.shape
# is broadcast to [3, 2, 2].
x = operator.solve(y)
==> 3 * x

# Create a 2-batch of 2x2 identity matrices
operator = LinearOperatorIdentity(num_rows=2, multiplier=5.)
operator.to_dense()
==> [[[5., 0.]
      [0., 5.]],
     [[5., 0.]
      [0., 5.]]]

x = ... Shape [2, 2, 3]
operator.apply(x)
==> 5 * x

# Here the operator and x have different batch_shape, and are broadcast.
x = ... Shape [1, 2, 3]
operator.apply(x)
==> 5 * x
```

### Shape compatibility

This operator acts on [batch] matrix with compatible shape.
`x` is a batch matrix with compatible shape for `apply` and `solve` if

```
operator.shape = [B1,...,Bb] + [N, N],  with b >= 0
x.shape =   [C1,...,Cc] + [N, R],
and [C1,...,Cc] broadcasts with [B1,...,Bb] to [D1,...,Dd]
```

### Performance

* `operator.apply(x)` is `O(D1*...*Dd*N*R)`
* `operator.solve(x)` is `O(D1*...*Dd*N*R)`
* `operator.determinant()` is `O(D1*...*Dd)`

#### Matrix property hints

This `LinearOperator` is initialized with boolean flags of the form `is_X`,
for `X = non_singular, self_adjoint, positive_definite`.
These have the following meaning
* If `is_X == True`, callers should expect the operator to have the
  property `X`.  This is a promise that should be fulfilled, but is *not* a
  runtime assert.  For example, finite floating point precision may result
  in these promises being violated.
* If `is_X == False`, callers should expect the operator to not have `X`.
* If `is_X == None` (the default), callers should have no expectation either
  way.

Initialize a `LinearOperatorScaledIdentity`.

The `LinearOperatorScaledIdentity` is initialized with `num_rows`, which
determines the size of each identity matrix, and a `multiplier`,

Kyle Hill is the co-founder and CEO of HomeHero, a trusted senior home care marketplace in Santa Monica. Kyle founded HomeHero after observing the devastating process his father went through finding trusted caregivers for his 98-year-old grandmother, and dedicated his life to making it better. HomeHero recently raised $23 million in funding and has become the #1 source for caregivers in California, with more than 1,500 caregivers in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. Before HomeHero, Kyle was an equity analyst at Robert W Baird & Co and built online experiences for large digital companies in Los Angeles at the web development and design firm he founded called Kaleazy Creative. In 2011, he launched Flowtab, a mobile payments app for hospitality venues, and scaled the business to three cities.
By 2013, he open sourced Flowtab to focus his attention on HomeHero.
We differentiate ourselves in the home care space in three areas: quality, speed and price. Our "Heroes" are put through a rigorous screening process that includes an entrance exam, in-person interview and reference check from past employers. We also provide $4 million in theft protection and professional liability insurance. Our tech platform is so streamlined and efficient that we can match clients with caregivers in less than 60 minutes and offer rates 40% lower than agencies.
HomeHero is the fastest, most-affordable way to find in-home care for seniors. Pound for pound there is no better value in the industry right now.
We use technology to remove the high overhead costs incurred by traditional agencies, and that gives us the ability to keep our rates low and grow quickly.
Business: Make HomeHero the most trusted brand in the world associated with senior care.
Personal: Leave a legacy as a positive disruptor in the world who touched the lives of billions of people.

SSC adjusts minimum wage to JD271
(File photo: Jordan News)
AMMAN — Those making minimum wage in Jordan will see an increase in their pay in 2023. The Social Security Corporation (SSC) announced Monday that the minimum wage will be increased to JD271 from JD260, according to local media outlets. اضافة اعلان
This move follows a decision issued by the Tripartite Commission for Labor Affairs to index the statutory minimum wage to inflation and increase the minimum wage for the years 2023–2025.
Minimum wage will be adjusted based on the interest rate issued by official authorities, provided that it is calculated for each year according to the 11 months prior.
In a press statement, the SSC explained that the current minimum wage will be adjusted based on the inflation rate for the first 11 months of 2022, which amounted to 4.22 percent.
The SSC also stressed that anyone who is over 16 and subject to the Social Security Law regardless of nationality, and regardless of the duration or form of the contract.
