PLANNING A WEDDING AT ST. THERESE CHURCH
"Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate." -Mark 10:6-9
"Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the Sacrament of Marriage can contain it." --B. Pasternak
CELEBRATING A WEDDING AT ST. THERESE CHURCH: The Archdiocese of Los Angeles requires couples desiring to be married in the Church to begin their wedding preparation at least six months prior to the desired wedding date.
You should be living within our Parish boundaries or be registered as parishioners at least six months BEFORE BEGINNING your wedding preparation at St. Therese Church.
WEDDING APPLICATION: To begin your wedding preparation, the FIRST thing to do is to fill out the Application to Celebrate a Wedding at St. Therese Church (click here (X) to access from this website or come to the Parish Offices to fill one out). If you obtain it from the website, you may save it in your computer and then upload it and submit it via email to the Parish Secretary, Denise McMaster, at denisekay@hotmail.com, OR you may drop it off or mail it to the offices (510 North El Molino Street, Alhambra CA 91801). The application will then be given to the Pastor or Associate Pastor, who will contact you to set up an initial appointment. He will give you all the basic information you need.
The next step is to coordinate a time to meet with your choice of the Pastor, Fr. Thomas, or the Associate Pastor, Fr. David). For a Mass in Latin, contact Fr. Justin Ramos directly (phone number on Checklist--link directly below).
INITIAL PAPERWORK:
Checklist: To review the checklist of what is required of the couple, please download it by clicking here (X) for a Wedding in English or Spanish OR by clicking here (X) for a Wedding in the Latin Rite. (You may also pick up a printed list from the offices.)
Copies of Sacramental Certificates: The Catholic party(ies) will be asked to obtain a recent certificate of Baptism (NOT the original but a copy dated within the last six months) for the purpose of proving freedom to marry in the Church). It should have a notation on the back showing that you received the Sacrament of Confirmation. If not, you will need to obtain a copy from the church where you received Confirmation.
Freedom to Marry Form: Each party will also need two persons from his or her family (preferably parents) to fill out a "Freedom to Marry" form, attesting to the fact that the party seeking marriage has, to his or her family's knowledge, never been married and is choosing to freely and forever enter into the marriage. To download the FREEDOM TO MARRY form, click here (X).
MARRIAGE PREPARATION CLASSES: As mandated by the Archdiocese, each couple needs to attend a marriage preparation class. They can choose from:
A one-day seminar offered via Zoom (click X for the 2021 schedule through September 2021. Note: The website you'll be taken to also includes a questionnaire you'll need to fill out and return to the Archdiocese (in order to register for the class). After that someone will contact you with details).
A full weekend through the Engaged Encounter Program offered by the Archdiocese. More information about the Engaged Encounter Weekend can be found by clicking here X.
NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING: St. Therese Church also requires each couple to attend a Natural Family Planning Class offered at our church, followed by individual training sessions. The NFP classes are offered once a month; the couple should attend the class at least three months before the wedding.
WEDDING TIMES: The normal wedding times you can choose from are Saturdays at 10:00 a.m., Noon, or 2:00 p.m. (2:00 p.m. is the latest time available on Saturdays). You may, however, request a different day or time, depending upon our regular schedule of Masses.
READINGS FOR THE WEDDING MASS: Couples are encouraged to choose the readings for the wedding Mass in order to make it more personal. A copy of the booklet, TOGETHER FOR LIFE, may be picked up from the St. Therese Church offices (it contains a form in the back to enter your selections). OR you may choose your readings by accessing a website (click here X to open it) which has links you click on to take you to the readings at www.foryourmarriage.org, a website which is an initiative of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Click here X for a form on which to enter your selections for the readings and the readers.
At the bottom of the home page of www.catholicweddinghelp.com you will also find a section titled FOR MORE INFORMATION, which includes a helpful link about choosing your lectors (those who will read the Scripture readings).
CREATING THE PROGRAM FOR YOUR WEDDING MASS: For help in creating a program for your wedding, click here X. The program is a great way to increase participation by the congregation. If you would like St. Therese to prepare your program, there is a fee of $100, which includes printing of up to 200 copies (extra charge for more, depending upon the size of the program). For this option, contact Denise at denisekay@hotmail.com.

Kendall started her journey into the world of kinesiology in 2009, when she chose a fulltime commitment working at improving people's health and wellbeing through energy healing. Prior to this, she was a regular pranic healing practitioner which allowed a deep process of self-discovery and self-help to take place leading her to different variations of kinesiology.
The neuroemotional pathways of the survival emotions course was a turning point in her studies and strengthened her decision to specialise in Neuroenergetic Kinesiology which she now teaches regularly and practices as a Registered Specialised Kinesiology Practitioner.
With Neuroenergetic Kinesiology Kendall has the opportunity to combine modern study of neurology, physiology and genetics with the ancient Chinese and Indian healing arts. Kinesiology amazes her in its ability to explore deep into the energetic, physical, emotional and mental organisation of our being to uncover the blockages that affect health and wellbeing. Kendall's own journey of self-healing is her inspiration to bring together a wealth of knowledge and intuition to facilitate the most positive changes in others.
Strong from a diverse background of study, work opportunities in highly creative fields and life experiences which took her all around the world, she aims to find innovative ways to convey the teachings of kinesiology to help each of her student develop into a confident practitioner. Kendall believes that the practice of kinesiology is enriched by one's own colourful culture, traditions and experiences which enhances the power of the techniques used.
Kinesiology is one of the greatest tools to uncover who we truly are and what is possible to achieve for our wellbeing.

Was it just me or did it look like when Maggie and Aaron were looking out of the sewer grate, you saw zombies in the foreground and it appeared that they were clambering all over something? It looked like those zombies, to me, were reaching for something…say Nick and Glenn on top of a dumpster? I actually said aloud: "You have got to be shitting me!" This couldn't be the way Glenn made his escape? I was expecting to hear the gunshot from when Nick decided to leave this world.

Home > Waite blames high altitude
Published:Thursday | June 15, 2017 | 12:00 AMMarc Stamp [1]
National senior men's team assistant coach, Jerome' Waite, blamed the high altitude in Peru for the Reggae Boyz's below par performance against the home team on Tuesday.
Jamaica went down 3-1 to the hosts in the friendly international.
"It was definitely difficult for the players. The high altitude in Peru wasn't easy and affected the performance of the players," Waite told The Gleaner on arrival yesterday at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.
"As a result, it took a toll on the players and their concentration level went to pieces," he added. "The players were spitting blood on the field because of the high altitude," Waite, who is also coach of local Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) champions Arnett Gardens, said.
Shamar Nicholson, who started upfront and played for 54 minutes before he was substituted, backed his coach.
"We found it hard to play because of the high altitude and were chasing the game. The Peru players were comfortable on the ball. I found it difficult to breathe," the 20-year-old Boys' Town striker said. Lima, Peru, where the match was played, is 5,080 feet above sea level.
Jamaica were outplayed by the Peruvians, who led 3-0 early in the second half before veteran attacker Jermaine Johnson came off the bench and converted a penalty following a foul on Owayne Gordon late in the game.
CARIB CUP FINALS
With that game over, the Reggae Boyz will turn their attention to the Caribbean Cup Finals in Martinique, where they play against French Guiana on June 22. They will also travel to the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States of America from July 9-26. The six-time Caribbean Cup winners will depart on June 19 in quest of the nation's seventh title.
"The Caribbean Cup will be used to select the final 23-man squad for the upcoming Gold Cup. It will be another test for the players," Waite explained.

Relationship between wave processes in sunspots and quasi-periodic pulsations in active region flares
Sych, Robert A., Nakariakov, V. M. (Valery M.), Karlicky, M. and Anfinogentov, S. (2009) Relationship between wave processes in sunspots and quasi-periodic pulsations in active region flares. Astronomy & Astrophysics, Vol.505 (No.2). pp. 791-799. doi:10.1051/0004-6361/200912132

A phenomenological relationship between oscillations in a sunspot and quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) in flaring energy releases at an active region (AR) above the sunspot is established. The analysis of the microwave emission recorded by the Nobeyama Radioheliograph at 17 GHz shows a gradual increase in the power of the 3-min oscillation train in the sunspot associated with AR 10756 before flares in this AR. The flaring light curves are found to be bursty with a period of 3 min. Our analysis of the spatial distribution of the 3-min oscillation power implies that the oscillations follow from sunspots along coronal loops towards the flaring site. It is proposed that QPP in the flaring energy releases can be triggered by 3-min slow magnetoacoustic waves leaking from sunspots.

Q: Connecting SQL Server Virtual Machine to Web Role in same Azure Virtual Network I'm attempting to set up a Virtual Network in Windows Azure and use it to avoid opening a public endpoint on my (CUSTOM) SQL Server Virtual Machine. However, I continuously get a network related error, stating that the SQL Server wouldn't talk back in time, when trying to access my web application via my cloud service's URL.
I've looked all over the net for tutorials that show how to connect to one's own Custom-created VM instead of one of Windows Azure's preconfigured Virtual Machines, and found little of use. All the suggestions I've found I've tried.
I am working in Windows 7, using Visual Studio 2010 with the Windows Azure SDK installed, SP1.
Here are some details of what I have attempted to do to no avail.
I have:

*

*created the Virtual Network with

*

*its own Affinity Group

*a single Subnet

*added the Virtual Machine to it

*

*making sure to put it in the same affinity group as the one I created for the VNet

*installed SQL Server

*configured SQL Server as per this tutorial

*Added my databases and a login that I have verified can access the database

*Both:

*

*Converted an existing Asp.NET Website to a Web App and added a Azure Deployment Package thing see here for the tutorial I followed

*

*I used r-click->Publish to Azure/Publish for this one, configured to use an existing Cloud Service I had already deployed in the VNet with the SQL VM, and made sure it was in the same Subnet as the VM.

*it is also worth noting that this application did connect to a similar VM that was deployed outside the Virtual Network (still in Azure) by opening a public endpoint on port 1433 and using the Public IP address to connect to it.

*Used the converted Web App's code in a brand new Azure Cloud Service project configured as per this tutorial (the first one I mentioned)

*

*I attempted both publishing by:

*

*r-click->Publish to Azure/Publish

*r-click->Package and uploading it on the Azure Portal

*in both cases both to

*

*an existing Cloud Service in the VNet (and Subnet)

*and a brand new Cloud Service created in the VNet (and Subnet) and upload package during creation or immediately publish to service as soon as started.

*Double checked that all Cloud Services and Virtual Machines I've gone through were in the VNet, and in the same Subnet.

*

*My Cloud service is usually at internal IP 10.4.2.5, and the VM at 10.4.2.4. My connection string is the same as the first tutorial I mentioned only with the proper authentication and my VM's internal IP specified. Connection string follows:
<add name="SQLServerinWAConnection"
connectionString="Data Source=tcp:SQLVMInternalIPAddress;Initial Catalog=MyTableName;User ID=loginName;Password=thepassword;Encrypt=true;Trusted_Connection=false;TrustServerCertificate=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

*

*I also tried specifying Trusted_Connection=true
No matter what I try, I cannot get this application to connect to the SQL Server instance on that VM. I have even added a public endpoint to the VM at port 1433 and tried using its public IP and private IP, to no avail. That was my fallback, so now I'm at a serious loss.
Some implementation details that may or may not have any bearing:

*

*The SQL Server instance is named, not default, so instead of just 'SQLServerVM' in the object explorer in SQL Server Management Studio, it has 'SQLServerVM\SQLServerDB'.

*I have the port 1433 opened on the firewall on the VM for any IP range and any user

I will add any additional details (in case you don't want to read the whole tutorials to figure out what I've done) upon request.
There isn't by any chance a checklist available to state the things which need to be done for a web role or website to be able to connect to a virtual machine in its virtual network? That would greatly simplify troubleshooting.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would very much like to have this working by the end of the day.

A: In my case, since our client installed SQL Server on the VM, using a named database instance, the service which hosted the instance I needed to connect to didn't have its TCP port set properly. So my detail that the SQL Server instance was named was indeed important.
If you just cannot figure out why your Web Role (Cloud Service) just isn't connecting to your Virtual Machine in the same Virtual Network, In addition to checking all of the things above in the question, check the following setting:

*

*Log into the Virtual Machine (RDP)

*Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager

*Expand "SQL Server Network Configuration" in the left panel.

*Click on "Protocols for {SQL Instance name here}" in the left panel.

*Right-Click on "TCP/IP" in the right panel, go to "Properties..."

*Double check that "Enabled" is set to "Yes".

*Switch to the "IP Addresses" tab.

*At this point, you should see that the "TCP Port" should be 1433 for at least the domain IP (in my case 10.4.2.4 in the "IP2" section), if not "IPALL" or some others.

*

*Note that the "TCP Port" settings on all the "IP{X}" sections may have different values.

IF you don't see this SQL Server instance listening on 1433 (or some other port you are trying to configure):

*

*Go to "IPALL" and change the "TCP Port" to 1433 (or whatever port you like, 1433 is the default that things will send to).

*

*This will allow that port to be listened on for addresses coming to this server from anywhere.

*Note that there is probably a cleaner way to do this, but this worked quite well for us.

This allowed me to access the SQL Server instance from all the Cloud Services in that VNet, using only the Internal IP Address of the VM, without a public endpoint opened for the port I configured (1433).
Just in case, here is the working connection string:
<add name="ApplicationServices"
    connectionString="Data Source=tcp:{VM Internal IP}\{InstanceName},{port};Initial Catalog={Table};User ID={username};Password={passwd};Encrypt=true;Trusted_Connection=false;TrustServerCertificate=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

Make sure you replace:

*

*{VM Internal IP} with your internal IP address

*{InstanceName} with your SQL Server Instance's name, or leave it and the preceding \ out entirely if you have a default instance.

*{port} should either be 1433 or whatever port you set open in your VM for that Sql Server instance.

*{Table} with the Database table you want to use by default

*{username} and {passwd} with those for your SQL Server user. Note that I am using SQL Server authentication here.

It's also worth noting that this did not open my server up to the internet (as expected), as I still can't get at it from the outside world, so it remains secured within the VNet this way.
Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

The Kano State Police Command has counselled Sen . Rabi ' u Kwankwaso to suspend his proposed visit to Kano State on January 30.
The State Commissioner of Police , Mr Rabiu Yusuf , gave the advice while briefing newsmen in Kano , on Friday.
He said the advice was necessary in view of the tension generated among the people of the state by the planned visit.
According toYusuf , "There is no doubt , the Senator as a citizen of this country has the constitutional right of association , assembly , and above all , movement.
" However, credible Information at the disposal of the command reveals that the proposed visit has generated palpable fears in the minds of the people of Kano State '' , he said.
He said, there was apprehension among the general populace , including the tendency to hijack the visit by some disgruntled elements and miscreants.
He hinted on the urgent need by the police command to ensure that peace prevailed in the state.
" Therefore, any action or inaction by any person or group of persons that may jeopardize the relative peace the state is currently enjoying must be averted."
" It is the advice of the command that such a visit should be shelved by Sen Rabi ' u Kwankwaso until the tension generated by the planned visit is doused , '' he reiterated.
He assured that the command would provide a level playing ground for all politicians , to carry out their political activities , without fear of molestation or intimidation.


In 2009, Claims Resolutions got its very first client: a home health agency in New York. This isn't the story of a big business. This is the story of a small business owner, someone just like you or me. This particular business owner happened to be the mother of a disabled child. She'd had trouble finding high-quality home care in the past and started her company so families like hers could find services for their children.
By the time she found us this agency was just a few months away from closing its doors. The owner was a wreck—stressed out, in debt, trying to figure out how to make payroll, all while continuing to care for her special needs child. She'd made heroic efforts, but New York State Medicaid refused to pay her bills for over a year.
Our team went through her entire process with a fine tooth comb. We audited all of her past rejected and denied claims on the back end, even as we improved intake procedures on the front end.
There was plenty of room for improvement. Our client's specialty was bridging the gap between patients and providers. She was focused on care, not labyrinthine insurance company requirements. As it should be—hospitals, clinics, agencies and other providers should be focused on the wellbeing of their patients. That should be the primary concern, even in the modern environment, which is focused on doing more with less.
Eventually we were able to start sending some test claims. It was awesome to see the look of pure relief on her face when these test claims started generating some revenue at last.
Of course, the day she recouped a half million dollars in unpaid receivables we all broke out the champagne. It felt great to know we'd played a role in keeping this agency on its feet.
Today, this home health care agency continues to serve families with special needs children throughout the state of New York. And we know our client is unlikely to ever face such a dire scenario ever again. She continues to use the new processes we put into place. We also reached out to our network to find her some staff members who can keep an eye on day-to-day billing. And, of course, we're still here to help whenever a big, hairy billing problem comes across her desk.
Every day, our clients focus on helping patients while we focus on managing the administrative and billing burden imposed by insurance companies, current legislation, and the overall health care system. Are insurance companies refusing to pay your practice? Call the specialists at Claims Resolutions today to find out how we can get your practice back in the clear.
Over the summer, many hospitals and medical centers either downsized, filed for bankruptcy, or closed their doors. In some cases, these facilities were the only ones serving their communities for miles around, as in the case of the Cochise Regional Hospital in Douglas, AZ.
Rural hospitals are having the most trouble staying afloat, but the problem is pervasive throughout the health system. It seems like there's a new facility closing announcement in Modern Healthcare magazine at least once a month these days.
What's going on? Often, insurance companies are refusing to pay these facilities what they are owed. And often, our specialists here at Claims Resolutions wince a little bit when we hear these stories. If we'd only known the facility was in trouble, we might have been able to help before the big closure announcement.
Paperwork problems: the number one reason hospitals don't get paid.
Insurance companies don't want to pay facilities a dime. They want to take premiums from customers, then go brag about their awesome profits on Wall Street.
However, insurance companies are legally required to pay valid claims. How do they get around this requirement? By using any excuse whatsoever to deny or reject a claim. This includes minor paperwork errors and omissions.
Medical facilities of every sort really need a team of auditors—people who can dot every "I" and cross every "T." These auditors can spot and correct potential problems because they are educated in the insurance company's thought processes. Our team uses this process to recoup revenue for our clients every single day.
A new client of ours in Salt Lake City is currently facing the same situation as the Cochise Medical Center, with one important exception: they won't be closing their doors. We're working hard to turn their situation around.
Here's how our process works. We start by cleaning up patient intake procedures, since this is where so many claims start to go wrong. If any information is missing, incorrect, or unverified insurance companies can and will use these issues against the facility. We create procedures which eliminate these problems.
Next, we move on to coding errors. ABC News reports coding errors of up to 80%, and if their focus is on consumers rather than on facilities this is still an indication that coding errors are pervasive and severe. These errors can and do cause claims denials, so we eliminate them whenever we find them.
We also dig through EoBs to see what the insurance companies are paying, what they're denying or rejecting, and why. This can give us additional clues about what needs to be corrected before we can start resubmitting claims.
Mistakes are easy to make, which is why we say every practice needs a diligent team devoted to finding and eliminating errors. Eliminating mistakes eliminates insurance company excuses.
It is, of course, always more profitable and easier to resolve matters with the insurance company than it is to attempt to secure payment in full from the patient. Your patients wouldn't pay their premiums month after month if they had the ability to take care of a $150,000 medical bill themselves. Patients also tend to become infuriated when they hear their insurance plan hasn't taken care of the bill as anticipated. And why not? They've upheld their end of the bargain by showing up with a valid insurance card in hand.
If your facility has been waiting so long to get paid you're in danger of closing your doors, call the Claims Resolutions team. We can help your practice get the money it's owed so you can continue serving your patients.
There were several problems with this business model.
First, it continued to put his services out of the average family's reach. A family of four would have had to pay $1000 each month to obtain medical care for every member of the family. Even the worst insurance plans don't typically cost so much, and a bad, cheap insurance plan will still get most patients through the door. Anyone wealthy enough to pay such prices probably already had or could pay for an insurance plan—and this physician was no longer accepting any insurance plans at all.
It didn't take long for this experimental practice to go out of business.
It would be nice if there were some good way to side-step insurance companies. They're the only winners in the current health care model. They're bragging about their record profits while doctors and patients get the short end of the stick. Unfortunately, viable alternatives have not presented themselves, and these alternatives seem unlikely to present themselves any time soon.
As claims resolution specialist's we see medical care facilities and doctor's offices making a lot of mistakes which threaten their practices. Helping doctors rectify these mistakes is one of the services we provide to our customers.
Most of these steps are simple and cost-effective, though they do take some time and effort to implement.
Taking time away from the office is an essential ingredient for all professionals working at a high level. Whether for an extended vacation, a quick getaway, or even just one day off; time spent recharging your batteries results in a better, more relaxed, more productive you. It helps rejuvenate and provide clarity or new insight both professionally and personally. In my personal opinion, the key to making the most out of this precious time is proper planning to ensure minimal stress and a high level of productivity while you're away from the office.
In the weeks and days leading up to my planned time away from the office, I often stress that business matters may not be managed to my expectations while I am gone. Would the clients be serviced in a timely manner, would patients receive the attention they deserve; a good deal of worry can quickly fill a business owner's mind when preparing to leave the office for an extended period of time. In anticipation of these concerns, I have found that appropriate strategy and proper planning can ensure that time out of the office results in rejuvenation and relaxation, not worry and working remotely.
Establish a company policy for vacations: Standard Operating Procedures should require employees to give ample notice of planned vacations. Ensuring ample staffing will greatly alleviate the possibility of operating short-staffed. There are always exceptions such as an unexpected death or illness, but in the case of vacations, I recommend requiring employees to give at least 5 weeks advance notice.
Plan early: If you're going on vacation, chances are you're making personal plans months in advance. Planning in advance saves you money personally but it also allows you to make proper arrangements at work to make your vacation smooth for everybody involved and affected.
Communicate your plans early and often to team members, clients and partners: I recommend telling employees, team members, colleagues, partners, vendors, and clients your plans as soon as possible. Regularly remind your key clients and staff members of your intended absence. Consider including these key players in a shared calendar alert as additional notice. Advance notice allows them to be aware and set their expectations accordingly.
Make a list of the tasks you need to accomplish prior to vacation: A detailed list of action items you need to accomplish will enable you to work towards a work free vacation. I find that having a list keeps me on track and helps me maintain focus while accomplishing the tasks I need to before leaving.
Prioritize the list: there are always some tasks that take precedence over others. Make these your first priority. By accomplishing the major tasks first you'll alleviate the stress commonly associated with being out of the office.
Assign team members to cover for you in your absence: Take time before you leave to prepare them for things that may come up: Clear and concise communication will leave little doubt about your expectations. Your team will know exactly what you need, expect and want to happen while you're gone. By setting clear expectations your team will be equipped and prepared to handle your responsibilities in your absence.
Commit to being on vacation and not working remotely: This is difficult, especially with modern technology that makes it so easy to stay connected. If you follow these steps listed above it's easier to step away and unplug. The most important part is to commit to unplugging.
By creating this plan I've had fulfilling and relaxing time out of the office. I had fun, my wife had fun and when I came back to the office I was more rested than I've been after past vacations and I felt more eager and ready to take on and conquer the world.
The lifeblood of any business are its clients. Clients are what make the business profitable, help it grow and prosper. Developing and maintaining good client relationships is critical to long-term success.
There are best practices to developing and maintaining these types of relationships. This article will explore the best practices to managing client relationships and developing new relationships.
Keep your word. A lot of businesses and business professionals will say a lot of things and promise the world in order to land the deal. However, once the deal is struck the delivery of these promises are either slow to occur or doesn't happen at all. When promises like this are broken it destroys trust. On the contrary, when you make a promise to a client and deliver on the promise it builds trust. When you do this time after time your clients will trust that you'll deliver on your word and will not even question your intent or ability to deliver upon your promises.
Be honest. Nobody wants a yes man or an order taker. When a client makes a suggestion you shouldn't simply reply with, "Can I super size those fries for you?" The way to add value and build confidence with your clients is to be honest and let them know what you really think or what your recommendations are. It's ok to disagree and to even argue about what is right and what is wrong. Even if a client goes in a different direction than what you recommend, there is still value in providing your recommendation.
Be Consistent. Consistency builds trust and confidence. By continuing to do the things that prove successful and building upon those things in a regular way clients will grow to know what to expect from you. When they expect nothing but the best, they build trust that again, leads to long-term relationships.
Be on time. Nothing screams indifference than an inability to be on time. When you are on time to meetings and other commitments you demonstrate a commitment to your own success as well as to the ongoing success of your clients.
Share your expertise. If you have a client it's likely due to the fact that you provide something, a product or service that they can't provide for themselves. You're considered an expert in an area of weakness for them. I've seen instances where service providers hesitate to share their expertise or are reluctant to do so. By freely sharing your expertise you add value and make yourself indispensable. The more indispensable you are, the more trust you build and the longer-lasting your relationships will be.
By doing these things clients will gain trust in your abilities and in your integrity. That trust is the key to building long-term success and long-term relationships.
Owing and running a business is filled with risk and reward, highs and lows and challenges that test your abilities at every turn. One aspect of running your own business that can be especially tricky is managing employees. These challenges come in the form of hiring new talent, managing and expanding that talent, as well as firing employees that aren't working out like you'd hoped.
Hiring is always exciting as it's a sign your business is growing. It's also one of the most critical aspects of running a highly successful business. Finding and hiring the right employees will help elevate your business to new heights and the return-on-investment (ROI) will be significant, if you hire the right people.
Similarly, hiring the wrong people can have a significantly negative impact on the long term outlook for your business. Whether the wrong hire is somebody that's simply not capable of performing the job, is dishonest or stealing from the company or its partners and customers or an employee that has a negative influence on your existing team, the consequences can be devastating.
In my experience, I've been hiring employees for more than 10 years. I've been successful and lucky but I've also hired my fair share of bad employees. Over the years I've developed a list of things to look for in potential employees. This list has evolved and the more time that passes, the more experience I gain, the more success I've had in hiring the right people.
Here are my tips for hiring the right people.
Allow for awkward pauses: I find that if a person is confident in themselves and what they're saying they won't be uncomfortable with unexpected pauses in the interview. If someone is nervous they tend to keep talking and will give away valuable information that they might typically withhold.
Ask how they handle adversity: In difficult situations a person's true character will come to light. Ask the candidate to explain a difficult situation and how they handled it.
Pay attention to non verbal queues: A person will give away a lot of information unintentionally simply by the way they react to certain situations. If a person looks away he or she is probably lying. If their voice trails off while they're speaking it's usually a sign that they don't know what they're talking about. Pay attention to when or if these types of behaviors manifest.
Check references. Don't just settle for the list of names the applicant provides. Typically these are people the applicant has talked to in advance and coordinated with to say nice things about them. If the reference simply confirms the dates an employee worked for the company that's usually a sign that they don't have anything nice to say about the employee. If the responses to questions are vague and don't have any supporting examples to validate what they're saying, that can also be a red flag.
Hiring is more of an art than it is a science. The ability to read a situation, gather data and understand what's being communicated both verbally and non-verbally is critical to hiring the right person. Through a concerted effort we can learn to fine tune hiring resulting in long lasting companywide growth and development.

Most Americans have an antiquated mental picture of what it means to be a doctor. Mention that "so and so is a doctor," and it immediately conjures up images of big houses, luxury cars and afternoons spent on the golf course. If you're a doctor who is leading that life, consider yourself lucky. If you're a doctor who is dreaming of that life, consider yourself in good company, as many doctors are in your same situation.
So why aren't more doctors living the idyllic lifestyle they are supposed to have? The answer is far from simple. The combination of Medicare and Medicaid fee cuts, complicated insurance submission requirements, malpractice insurance and a number of other factors and costs associated with running a medical practice can lead to razor-thin profit margins.
Given those factors, it's easy to understand why many doctors are struggling to keep their practice above water. It's even easier to understand why these same doctors may feel embarrassed by their situation, or think they have failed in a way. After all, doctors are supposed to be the picture of success, right?
While people are hesitant to discuss the battle to turn a profit in the medical profession, the reality is that the battle is real. The even bigger reality is that it's a battle many doctors fight every day. And if you find any comfort in that statement, then you should find even more comfort in knowing there's help available.
While everyone wants to be good at business, not everyone is, and that's ok. Companies that specialize in practice management and billing are designed to alleviate the stress of managing your practice and turning a profit, so you can focus on what you do best—taking care of patients.
But you may still be asking, "Why should I hire a company to help me run my practice?" It's a valid question, and the answer is simple. Just as you stay current on the latest illnesses, medications and treatment options, practice management companies keep tabs on the ever-evolving business side of the medical industry and know how to find efficiencies and eliminate waste. It is that familiarity with policies, procedures and technologies that leads to cost savings for your practice.
What do December 21, 2012 and October 1, 2014 have in common? They are both dates that have been unreasonably feared by many people. If you're reading this right now, it's safe to say that the Mayan calendar did not accurately predict the end of the world in 2012, and all of the hype was for nothing. Likewise, people will soon discover that the apprehension and fear over the U.S. implementation of ICD-10 on October 14, 2014 was all for naught.
In order to understand why the anxieties about ICD-10 have been over-hyped, let's take a look at what it is, when it's being implemented, and how to prepare for the impending changes.
ICD-10 is the Tenth Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Such classifications of illnesses and diseases have been around for centuries, but in 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) instituted the version of ICD system we know today. At that time, the system was labeled the Sixth Revision of the International Lists of Diseases and Causes of Death. Since then, there have been several revisions, with this tenth one initiated in 1989 and completed in 1993. The eleventh revision of the ICD codes is taking place currently and should be released in 2015.
The overall purpose of the ICD system is to allow the WHO to track the prevalence and progression of sicknesses throughout the world. ICD-10 contains a significantly expanded list of classification codes—approximately 69,000 codes in comparison to the approximately 13,600 codes contained in ICD-9. In addition to the number of codes, the composition of the codes is also changing from being primarily numeric to being wholly alphanumeric. The main reason for the increased number of codes used in ICD-10 has to do with specificity. For example, under the old coding system, a sickness may have been identified as affecting the lung, while the new system provides for more specificity, i.e. right lung or left lung.
All in all, the changes brought about in ICD-10 allow for better tracking, which leads to better statistics. These statistics can then be used to influence disease prevention, control, and eradication efforts throughout the world.
When Will ICD-10 Take Effect?
Even though the latest revision of ICD codes has been finished for nearly 20 years, and implemented in many countries, it has not yet taken effect in the United States. In fact, the United States is the only major country not yet using it. A U.S. implementation deadline was set for October 1, 2013, but has since been pushed back to October 1, 2014 in an effort to give medical service providers more time to prepare for the changes.
When it comes to the implementation of ICD-10, it seems as though the U.S. has been standing on the high dive platform for years, afraid of what will happen when it takes the leap. The reality is that all of the nerves and worries over the system have been severely over-hyped. When it comes to implementing ICD-10, there is nothing to be afraid of. While there is an increased number of codes and a slightly different coding format, most anyone who is qualified to code in ICD-9 will be able to use the new system easily, provided they receive the proper training.
The biggest implementation challenge will come in the form of updating software and technology systems within individual practices. Again, there is no reason to panic.
How being EHNAC certified reduces risk and saves money!
When Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the east coast in late October 2012, residents faced a lot of unanswered questions. Would they need to evacuate? What would they do if they lost power? Did they have enough food and water? Would they be able to stay out of harm's way?
In the midst of the uncertainty, one important question probably never crossed their minds: would their medical records be safe and accessible if needed?
People assume they will have access to their medical records when and where they need them, and as a healthcare provider, it's your responsibility to ensure that this is the case. The use of electronic records has certainly made this process easier, but it's still not foolproof. So when a catastrophe, natural disaster, or just plain unfortunate event strikes, does your practice have a plan in place to protect your patient's health records?
It's likely that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was attempting to address unforeseen events when it included the Security Rule, which requires "covered entities to maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for protecting e-PHI." While this is a good start, it leaves a lot to the imagination, as it does not outline specific safeguards that should be used.
Luckily, the Electronic Healthcare Network Accreditation Commission (EHNAC) picks up where HIPAA leaves off. The EHNAC was established as a means of improving transactional quality, operational efficiency and data security in healthcare. This federally recognized standards development organization and accrediting body uses peer reviews to assess a healthcare provider's ability to provide speed, safety and security when transmitting and storing patient data. Based on these reviews and other requirements, medical practices can become EHNAC certified, an endorsement that is well recognized within the industry, and carries many benefits.
One such benefit includes peace of mind from knowing your patient records are secure. This is due to the stringent EHNAC certification requirements that call for precautionary measures such as data centers that are located a minimum of 100 miles apart. These requirements protect the records against natural disasters and can save a practice the time, money and hassle of notifying patients about security breaches or lost or damaged records.
Don't wait for a disaster to strike before you think about protecting your records. Learn more about how becoming EHNAC certified can provide you with policies, procedures and a plan.

Winter is coming, or so US arbitrator Gary Born has been telling the arbitration community for a couple of years now. In our feature, a write-up of his Freshfields lecture, he makes the case again – warning that there are those who wish to tear down the legal framework and "end international arbitration as we know it".
However, Curtis Mallet-Prevost Colt & Mosle chairman George Kahale proposes we do precisely that: dismantle investor-state dispute settlement completely or rebuild it from scratch, with a focus on deficiencies in how tribunals deal with quantum in the "new age of the megacase".
In our third feature, lawyers from Norton Rose Fulbright take a more optimistic view, arguing that there is a role for arbitration in resolving climate-related disputes and as a key mechanism for the enforcement of environmental law and policy.
Ever wished there was a 'hot take' on the pros and cons of different arbitral seats? Well, now there is. The GAR–CIArb Seat Index was launched in November, which rates seats against 10 principles that fuel a supportive arbitration climate. Summaries of the first seven cities to be measured – London, Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore and Zurich and Geneva – have been included in this magazine. This was the last magazine of 2018. So to all of our readers, we wish you all the best for 2019.

Q: Regex that includes possibility of new lines between HTML tags I have this pattern:
/(\<iframe)(.*?)src="(.*?)(something)(.*?)"((\n|.)*?)(<\/iframe>)/
With a subject of something like this:

words

tags

tags

And while it works while testing in JS on regexr.com, it fails on PHP.
If I remove the newlines and then switch the ((\n|.)*?) to (.*?) it works fine, but that is not good enough.
What am I doing wrong?

A: As per comments, "You should never parse HTML with regex".
Use a Parser instead: it's not too hard and it gives you a lot of possibilities.
See these examples with your HTML sample using DOMDocument and DOMXPath:
First, init DOMDocument, load HTML and init DOMXPath:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
libxml_use_internal_errors(1);
$dom->loadHTML( $html );
$xpath = new DOMXPath( $dom );

To retrieve all  srcattributes:
$iframes = $dom->getElementsByTagName( 'iframe' );
foreach( $iframes as $iframe )
{
    echo $iframe->getAttribute( 'src' ) . PHP_EOL;
}

To retrieve "1818" from itemprop attribute duration:
$duration = $xpath->query( '//span[@itemprop="duration"]/@content' );
echo $duration->item(0)->nodeValue . PHP_EOL;

The above xPath pattern means:
//                      Selects following pattern no matter where they are in the document
span                    with tag = 'span'
[@itemprop="duration"]  with attribute 'itemprop' = 'duration'
/@content               (get) attribute 'content'

Photochemistry (PHO)
The group Photochemistry (PHO) investigates mixing processes and chemical reactions within micromixers and microreactors using optical methods. Mainly laser Raman spectroscopy is used. This allows space- and time-resolved concentration measurements of educts and products within microchannels. It is the aim to get a thorough understanding of the physical and chemical processes within microchannels. This will be the basis for an optimization of micromixers and microreactors, which is important for energy-efficient processes, chemical reactions with improved selectivity, higher yield and lower waste.
The group PHO is working within the Helmholtz Research Programs in the field of Efficient Energy Conversion (EEC).
The following processes are investigated using these laser Raman systems:
Biodiesel production with supercritical methanol (3rd Party Funded Research)
Hydrolysis of acetal (EEC)
CO2 absorption in a Taylor-flow (DFG-SPP1740)
Cyclohexane oxidation single phase (EEC)
Isobutane oxidation single phase and Taylor-flow (HGF)
Laser Raman spectroscopy
Electrons can be raised from the ground state to a virtual energy level by laser radiation. From this level they can fall back and emit light at the laser wavelength (Rayleigh scattering). However, they can also reach a vibrational energy level and emit Raman stray light. This light may be shifted to longer wavelengths (stokes lines) or at higher temperatures to shorter wavelengths (anti-stokes lines). All these lines are characteristic for each molecule and can be used to determine the concentrations of these molecules, selectively.
The following picture (left) illustrates the Raman effect for stokes lines in the energy level scheme. On the right side the principle setup is shown: The radiation of a laser is leaded through a dichroitic mirror and the microscope and focused into the microchannel. The molecules in the microchannel emit Raman stray light, which is leaded back via the microscope and the dichroitic mirror to a spectrometer with sensitive CCD camera. By using a focused laser spot and a confocal optics a space resolution of 15 µm is possible.
The following picture shows a test rig and a home-made laser Raman system. The test rig is capsulated with protective plates and attached to a fume cupboard. It can be equipped with vessels, pumps, mass-flow controllers and sensors, depending on the chemical reactions. Furthermore, a microscope is mounted on a vibration-isolated table, which is decoupled from the fluidics. The right side of the picture shows the large pulsed Nd:YAG laser (532 nm) and above a cw argon ion laser (488 nm).
For stationary processes the 100 mW cw laser (continuous-wave) is used. Its radiation (blue ray in picture) is leaded via mirrors, a dichroitic filter and the microscope into the microchannel. The stokes Raman stray light goes back the same way, but is separated in the dichroitic filter from the back-scattered laser radiation and Rayleigh scattering of the molecules. It is focused into a multi-mode fiber, which acts as pinhole for a confocal arrangement, to achieve a good depth resolution. The fiber ends at a spectrometer with reflection gratings and a cooled CCD detector array.
In order to examine non-steady processes in microchannels, too, e. g. Taylor-flow, no continuous-wave laser can be used, because the measuring time has to be very short. Otherwise, an averaging of concentrations would result and gas bubbles would disturb the measurements. For these applications a custom-design Nd:YAG laser was developed. Standard Nd:YAG lasers produce very short pulses of 10 ns by using Q-switching. Because Raman spectra without averaging require high laser energies to get good Raman spectra, the optical peak power would be too high for the microchannel and its window. Therefore, an oscillator-amplifier principle was used, which is shown in the picture: as seed laser a stable cw laser at 1064 nm is used. Its radiation is cut into the desired pulses by an acousto-optical modulator and amplified in several amplifiers. These consist of Nd:YAG rods which will be optically pumped by high-energy flash lamps. Nonlinear crystals accomplish a frequency doubling of the laser radiation to a wavelength of 532 nm. This laser system can produce laser pulses of 50 mJ at 5 Hz with a pulse duration between 1 µs and 10 µs. Such laser pulses can be focused up to 30 µm to a glass plate at the microchannel.
Generally, these laser Raman systems allow the measurements of concentrations of liquid compounds with high resolution in space and time. Steady-state or non-steady state processes in microreactors are possible. Raman spectroscopy as infrared spectroscopy is very selective, because they are sensitive to differences of vibrating molecules. In contrast to infrared spectroscopy also homonuclear molecules can be detected, e. g. N2 or O2. The combination of this optical technique with process engineering allows an in-situ measurement even at high temperatures (at the moment up to 400 °C) and high pressure (up to 150 bars).
