This Notice of Privacy Practices ("Notice") describes the privacy practices of CastiaRx. We want you to know that nothing is more central to our operations than maintaining the privacy of your protected health information ("PHI"). PHI is information about you, including basic information that may identify you and relates to your past, present, or future health or condition and the dispensing of pharmaceutical products to you. We take this responsibility very seriously.
We are required by federal and applicable state law, regulations, and other authorities to protect the privacy of your health information and to provide you with this Notice. We are required to protect the confidentiality of your PHI and will disclose your PHI to a person other than you or your personal representative only when permitted under federal or state law. This protection extends to any PHI that is oral, written, or electronic, such as prescriptions transmitted by facsimile, modem, or other electronic device. This Notice describes how we may use and disclose your PHI. In some circumstances, as described in this Notice, the law permits us to use and disclose your PHI without your express permission. In all other circumstances, we will obtain your written authorization before we use or disclose your PHI. This Notice also describes your rights and the obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your PHI. Under federal and applicable state law, we are required to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO AUTHORIZE ADDITIONAL USES AND DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PHI.
Below are examples of how Federal law permits use or disclosure of your PHI without your permission.
Treatment: The PHI we obtain may be used and disclosed to healthcare professionals to provide, coordinate and manage the dispensing of your prescription medications. For example, we may disclose medical information about you to your physician in order to coordinate the prescribing and delivery of your drugs through your prescription drug program. We may contact you to provide treatment-related services, such as refill reminders, treatment alternatives (e.g., available generic products), and other health related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.
Payment: If it is necessary to determine whether a third party will pay for your prescription, and the related payment amount, we may contact and share your PHI with a third party. We may use and disclose your medical information about you to manage your prescription plan, fulfill our responsibilities under your prescription plan, and process your claims for prescriptions you have received. We may also contact you about a payment or balance due for prescriptions dispensed to you, which could include mailing an explanation of benefits to the address we have on file for you. For example, we may give medical information to your plan so that we can confirm your eligibility for prescription drugs, or we may submit claims to your health plan, third party administrator, employer or other payment entity for payment. The information on or accompanying the bill may include information that identifies you, as well as the prescriptions you are taking.
Health Care Operations: We may use and disclose your medical information to carry out business planning and healthcare operations. These activities include conducting utilization reviews; conducting quality assessment and improvement activities, including outcomes management; reviewing and evaluating a network pharmacy's qualifications and performance; contacting health care providers with information about treatment alternatives; engaging in cost-management analyses, including Formulary development and administration. We do this so we can provide you with pharmacy benefits and ensure you receive the highest-quality services. As an example, we may use and disclose medical information about you to: assess the use or effectiveness of certain drugs, develop and monitor medical protocols, give you helpful medication reminders and health management services.
We are permitted under federal and applicable state law and are likely to use or disclose your PHI without your permission only when certain circumstances may arise, as described below.
Business associates: We provide some services to you through other companies termed as "business associates." Federal law requires us to enter into business associate agreements with these other companies to safeguard your PHI.
Individuals involved in your care or payment for care: We may disclose your PHI to a friend, personal representative, or family member involved in your medical care, if permitted under federal law or regulation or if you agreed to such disclosure. For example, if we can reasonably infer that you agree, we may provide prescriptions and related information to your caregiver on your behalf. You do have the right to object to the disclosure of your PHI to a friend, personal representative, or family member.
Disclosures to parents or legal guardians: If you are a minor, we may release your PHI to your parents or legal guardians when we are permitted or required under federal and applicable state law.
Worker's compensation: We may disclose your PHI to the extent authorized and necessary to comply with laws relating to worker's compensation or similar programs established by law.
Law enforcement: We may disclose your PHI for law enforcement purposes as required by law or in response a court order, subpoena, warrant, summons, or similar process; to identify or locate a suspect, fugitive, material witness, or missing person; about a death resulting from criminal conduct; about crimes on the premises or against a member of our workforce; and in emergency circumstances, to report a crime, the location, victims, or the identity, description, or location of the perpetrator of a crime.
Judicial and administrative proceedings: If you are involved in a lawsuit or a legal dispute, we may disclose your PHI in response to a court or administrative order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process.
Public health: We may disclose your PHI to federal, state, or local authorities, or other entities charged with preventing or controlling disease, injury, or disability for public health activities. These activities may include the following: disclosures to report reactions to medications or other products to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other authorized entity; disclosures to notify individuals of recalls, exposure to a disease, or risk for contracting or spreading a disease or condition.
Health oversight activities: We may disclose your PHI to an oversight agency for activities authorized by law. These oversight activities include audits, investigations, and inspections, as necessary for our licensure and for government monitoring of the health care system, government programs, and compliance with federal and applicable state law.
Although we may not engage in the following activities, under federal or applicable state law, we are allowed to use or disclose your PHI without your permission for these purposes.
Research: Under certain circumstances, we may use or disclose your PHI for research purposes. However, before disclosing your PHI, the research project must be approved by an institutional review board or privacy board that has reviewed the research proposal and established protocols to ensure the privacy of your PHI.
Coroners, medical examiners, and funeral directors: We may release your PHI to assist in identifying a deceased person or determining a cause of death.
Administrator or executor: Upon your death, we may disclose your PHI to an administrator, executor or other individual so authorized under applicable state law.

Q: Is there any option to automate APIs using Java and Selenium webdriver I have lots of REST APIs to automate. I know that it  can be automated using SOAPUI and Groovy/Javascript.
But I am looking for solution to automate APIs using Selenium webdriver and JAVA. I have already searched for similar solution but unable to find.

A: You can use Selenium webdriver only for browser automation. Webdriver is only for driving the browser like launch, close, maximize, minimize, screenshot the browser etc...during this automation if you need to test API you can send resquest to the required API from any one of the programming language like java, c#, javascript,etc... and you have to receive the response from the API. You have to test you get the expected response for the given resquest. Selenium webdriver is nothing to do with API testing.

Main | Impact Report | Addressing Coal's Impacts
Addressing the devastating impacts of coal
Coal's costly legacy and today's opportunity
We've had wins and sobering realizations this year when it comes to addressing coal's legacy in our region. Our team worked with legislators and partners to ensure that Abandoned Mine Lands were a priority in the bipartisan infrastructure bill — ultimately securing the largest investment in this work in history with $11.3 billion for cleaning up and restoring abandoned mines. This is a huge win for Appalachia and other coal-impacted lands around the country.
There are over 633,000 acres of unreclaimed contemporary mines (almost equal to the land area of the entire state of Rhode Island)
Our Central Appalachian Senior Program Manager Erin Savage wrote a report, "Repairing the Damage," uncovering the catastrophic failures of the modern mining industry to protect the land, air, water, and people around modern coal mining facilities. There are over 633,000 acres of land that require reclamation that will cost upwards of $9 billion — and that's just in the East. The decline in the coal industry has led to more bankruptcies, which means more coal companies abandoning their responsibility to clean up their mess. We're positioned at the cutting edge of this issue — working with both state and federal agencies to address the precarious cliff that the coal industry sits on as it inches closer to its inevitable failure.
We continue to fight for miners' rights and ensure that coal miners who are disabled from black lung disease receive the medical benefits entitled to them by law. The inclusion of a permanent extension of the excise tax on coal to fund the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund in the recent Inflation Reduction Act is an important and historic victory in our work to represent those most acutely affected by the health impacts of the mining industry.
Community Advocates Welcome RENEW Act
We're lifting the voices and issues of Appalachians to the highest power in the land
To address these issues of coal company bankruptcies, idled mines, and insufficient bonds, we're taking action at the federal level and supporting the RENEW Act. We were the driving force behind this new bill, introduced in June, which would tackle the crisis by making cleanup funds available to states once the agencies have exhausted all avenues to get the coal company responsible for the mess to clean it up. This would keep the burden of unreclaimed mines from falling on nearby communities. We're also demanding that the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement bring on leadership that prioritizes proper mine reclamation, which could lead to the creation of tens of thousands of jobs and large-scale environmental restoration.

Intel's been trying to play the slow tease with its Haswell microarchitecture dating back 2008. Currently, we finally have a look at what products running that 22nm core may look like. Shown off at IDF 2012 down in Brazil, the company's prexy Fernando Martins was photographed brandishing an Ivy Bridge Windows 8 ultrabook, replete with touch screen functionality.
If these hands-on functions will make it into the final consumer device, this new style does at least tip us off to a potential form factor. When those chips do make their official debut, you could expect a line of ultrabooks that will reportedly consume 20-x less power and last up to 240 hours on standby.

Finance, economics and music
The gullible economist
By Frances Coppola - December 23, 2014
I think John Cochrane has lost his marbles. Or maybe his dispute with Paul Krugman has blown his brains. Anyway, he has written one of the worst op-eds I have ever seen. He even quotes George Osborne as an authority on (the problems with) Keynesian economics. You couldn't make it up.
Cullen fisked about half the article but gave up in disgust when he encountered this little gem:
By Keynesian logic, fraud is good; thieves have notoriously high marginal propensities to consume.
Noah, who clearly has a stronger stomach, read all of it, understood most of it, and summed it up in one word.
But not being British, both Cullen and Noah missed the sheer idiocy of this statement (emphasis mine):
With the 2013 sequester, Keynesians warned that reduced spending and the end of 99-week unemployment benefits would drive the economy back to recession. Instead, unemployment came down faster than expected, and growth returned, albeit modestly. The story is similar in the U.K.
Oh no it isn't. These are the real GDP growth paths for the US, UK, Euro area and Japan since the Lehman shock, according to ONS:
The UK and the US don't look very similar in this chart, do they? By the way, the effect of the sequester is clearly visible on the US line. What had been rather good GDP growth suddenly fell. So much for Cochrane's claim that austerity caused "modest" growth to return.
This is UK employment versus GDP over the same period:
This chart shows that UK GDP was actually recovering until Q3 2010, when it started to tail off. From mid-2011 to mid-2012 it flatlined. Similarly, hours worked and employment were both increasing until Q3 2010, when they started to tail off. Both employment and hours worked actually fell in 2011.
Well, ok, this is employment and hours worked. What about unemployment?
Well I never. Unemployment actually rose in 2011. It didn't really start to fall until 2013.
So it seems that the UK was recovering nicely until towards the end of 2010, when it was hit by some kind of shock that clobbered both growth and employment. It did not start to recover from this second shock until 2013.
There are a number of theories as to what this shock might have been. Monetary tightening by an angry Bank of England governor determined to discipline wayward banks, oil price shocks, and the crisis in the Eurozone have all been suggested as possible causes. And so has fiscal consolidation.
The Coalition government was elected in May 2010 on an austerity mandate driven by concerns about the size of the UK's deficit in the light of the growing crisis in Greece. The majority of the Coalition's spending cuts were actually made in the first half of 2011, though they were announced long before that: but what is not often reported is that the previous Labour government had already introduced consolidation measures. Austerity actually began in the middle of 2010.
The spike in unemployment in 2011 shown on the chart above is due to public sector job cuts and the entry to the workforce of single mothers and sick/disabled people due to benefit changes. Unlike the US, the participation rate in the UK has actually risen since 2008: this is evident from the fact that although unemployment is still above its 2008 level, both employment and hours worked are now ALSO above the 2008 level. There simply are more people working.
But despite a fairly substantial increase in the workforce, the UK's GDP growth remained well below its pre-crisis trend. This is due to the UK's dismal productivity. There may be lots more people in the workforce, but they aren't producing much. The reasons for this are unclear, but low business investment seems a likely cause, coupled with the fact that many of these new entrants to the workforce have poor skills and and an inflexible lifestyle.
The fact is that GDP flattened and unemployment rose in the UK as a direct consequence of fiscal consolidation by both Labour and Coalition governments. Yes, a DIRECT consequence. In March 2013, Robert Chote, the head of the OBR, confirmed in a letter to David Cameron that OBR calculations showed Government tax rises and benefit cuts had reduced GDP:
....applying these multipliers to the consolidation measures put in place by the previous and current governments would have been sufficient to reduce GDP in 2011-12 by 1.4%.
Nor was the OBR particularly generous with its multipliers. Chote admits that IMF research showed multipliers could be much larger after a financial crisis, which would imply that the fall in GDP from premature fiscal consolidation might be even more.
Growth finally returned at the beginning of 2013. Exactly why is unclear. It seems likely that the Bank of England's Funding for Lending scheme kickstarted growth by stimulating mortgage lending. Dis-saving by the elderly and PPI windfalls may also have played a part. And the Chancellor's 2012 Autumn Statement announced plans to increase expenditure on infrastructure and provide support for housebuyers, which was followed up in the 2013 Budget with tax threshold rises, pension increases and the Help to Buy programme for first-time buyers. The 2014 Budget continued this theme: more tax reductions, pensions reform, extension of Help to Buy (now laughably known as Help to Buy Votes), promises of infrastructure investment.
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but infrastructure investment, tax cuts, pension increases and help for homebuyers are fiscal stimulus, are they not? And of course expectations matter. Austerity starts with its announcement, and so does stimulus. Just as fiscal consolidation was a cause of the UK's poor performance in 2011-12, so fiscal stimulus seems likely to be a cause of the UK's outstanding performance in 2013-14.
So the Chancellor whom Cochrane quotes approvingly as saying that Keynesians wanting fiscal stimulus were "wrong" has actually been doing, er, fiscal stimulus - though more for political than economic reasons. It's amazing what effect the growing proximity of an election has on economic policy.
And it's also amazing how gullible a Keynes-hating (or perhaps more accurately Krugman-hating) US economist can be.
No, it's not party time yet
* There were also tax cuts in the 2012 budget, but these were offset by benefit cuts and other changes that left many people worse off.

Good piece, Frances, but I don't understand the 'poor skills and inflexible lifestyle' comment.
The dork of cork 23 December 2014 at 17:15
Given the concentration of wealth any increase of GDP is extractive from the population.
This is clearly seen in Ireland this year with a increase in the amount of diesel fumes at little else.
Small traders continue to go to the wall as the wealth is sucked up ever higher.....as people are forced to shop in discount stores that benefit from deflation dynamics.
I have even seen the British comedy awards sponsered by lidl now which was the funniest joke of the night.

Bill Wells 29 December 2014 at 00:54
What is similar about the US and the UK is that - after the initial period when recession-initiated redundancies dominated - the movements in both countries' labour market variables seem to have been driven largely by developments in the labour market - mostly policy induced - rather than determined by demand. And, consequently, with GDP and labour market developments decoupled - productivity growth has dropped out.
So, in the US the initial poor employment record after the recession led to high productivity [see the link to my presentation at the Labour Market Statistics User Group 2013 Conference]. Whilst in the UK the continued focus of policy on increasing the labour supply and employment of the most disadvantaged in society has meant not only has employment done very well but the biggest improvements have been amongst people that started off in the worst position.
http://www.statsusernet.org.uk/Communities/Resources/ViewDocument/?DocumentKey=832f92ba-3816-4cc4-8bf3-f99de19078f6
And with the ending of the 99 week unemployment benefits at the end of 2013 the employment record in the US has improved substantially. It may be, therefore, that one of the questions to be addressed for 2014-15 is why the (supposedly just) UK productivity puzzle has been exported to both the US and also many EU countries. Whilst in the UK the already very high employment rate and the emerging effect of the ageing society will make it more difficult to boost labour supply and, therefore, employment. So, if GDP continues to grow at a healthy rate it may be that UK productivity will pick up.
oh you silly socialist :)
Robert Malanowski 29 December 2014 at 15:02
Always will be discussion between keynesian and neo-liberists. Pleas don't use word socialist ;)
Labour productivity has been increasingly meaningless since the age of coal.
We can see the function of jobs in the UK is to access purchasing power ( increasingly from its euro hinterland)
The UK's policy should orbit around such policies as increasing electricity imports from hydrorich Norway and Iceland if they can get away with it ( pushing up costs for the Norse) much like how it is presently extracting surplus nuke energy from depression hit France , ( elec imports currently a record a7%)
The high price of dollar safety
By Frances Coppola - August 27, 2019
The world is saving like crazy. Corporations are building up cash mountains that they can't or won't invest in expanding their businesses. Individuals are building up pensions and precautionary savings. Governments, especially in developing countries, are building up FX reserves. The " savings glut ," as former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke dubbed it, shows no signs of dissipating. It is sloshing around the world looking for a productive home. But there isn't one - or at least, not one that offers the safety that fearful investors desperately crave. That, fundamentally, is what is driving down the returns on assets. It is also the primary cause of the wide US trade deficit. The President likes to think that the reason for the US's persistent trade deficits is unfair trade practices and currency manipulation. And for some countries, these are undoubtedly contributing factors. But the biggest reason by far is the global dominance of the dollar, and above all, the pre-eminence of dollar
Britain was not "nearly bust" in March
By Frances Coppola - June 23, 2020
"Britain nearly went bust in March, says Bank of England", reads a headline in the Guardian . In similar vein, the Telegraph's Business section reports "UK finances were close to collapse, says Governor": Eh, what? The Governor of the Bank of England says the UK nearly turned into Venezuela? Well, that's what the Telegraph seems to think: The Bank of England was forced to save the Government from potential financial collapse as markets seized up at the height of the coronavirus crisis, Governor Andrew Bailey has said. In his most explicit comments yet on the country's precarious position in mid-March, Mr Bailey said 'serious disorder' broke out after panicking investors sold UK government bonds in a desperate hunt for cash. It left Britain at risk of failing to auction off the gilts needed to fund crucial spending - and Threadneedle Street had to pump £200bn into markets to restore a semblance of order. Reading this, you would think that the UK
The asymmetric mechanics of Tether
By Frances Coppola - November 30, 2020
Tether is the issuer of the cryptocurrrency world's premier stablecoin, USDT. Stablecoins aim to guarantee the value of cryptocurrencies in dollar terms, hedging volatility risk and making it easier to realise notional gains from cryptocurrency's wild price rises. But Tether's relationship with the main cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, is controversial. There is a raging battle between those who think that USDT issuance pumps up the price of Bitcoin, and those who argue that USDT issuance has nothing to do with Bitcoin's price. But in my view, the truth is more complex. Tether's asymmetric mechanics both support and disprove the arguments of both sides. USDT, Tether's "token", is a representation of the US dollar that can be readily traded on cryptocurrency markets. People exchange dollars for USDT, then use the USDT to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. They do so secure in the belief that each USDT token is always worth 1 US dollar. And so far, U

Heat and Eat Archives - Burgers, Dogs, & Pizza, Oh My!
"Great Value" is one of the in-house brands for many WalMart products. They aren't actually manufacturered by WalMart, of course, they are contracted out to be made to Bentonville's specifications.
I take great pride in my own meatballs, it's a recipe that I have screwed around with for decades. When I make them, I do throw them in sauce to cook from a raw state, but I rarely, ok, never serve them with pasta. A waste of bodily capacity, if you ask me, sticking noodles in where more meat could go. But that's just me. OK, and anybody I serve meatballs too.
But I keep looking for store bought ones to fill the gap, cause my homemade effort is a lot of work and doesn't get done that often. I've found some great ones at Italian delis, but unfortunately, the two I have been to are easily an hour drive – in good traffic.
So I spotted these at WalMart, all beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, cheese, milk, spices. Relatively "pure" ingredients. They come frozen, but pre-cooked, so they are just a heat and eat product. If you had made a marinara, red gravy, spaghetti sauce, you could just toss them in the pot til they were heated through.
Verdict? They're ok. Not as good as mine or the deli's, but certainly less expensive. Handy for a harried household at least. The flavor is fine, could be a little stronger, I think, fennel and garlic if I was in charge, and I'd make the texture a little firmer, a little less on the bread crumb and milk mixture.
The balls are made for WalMart in Tracy, CA at American Custom Meats, a processor of meat products for retail and food service. It's a sparkling new plant (pictured below).
While there are a multitude of styles of "BBQ" in the US, it's generally thought that the top three are Texas, Memphis, and Carolina.
As a result, many BBQ restaurant chains have spawned in those areas, including the mini chain of Corky's, born in Memphis, five minutes from Elvis's house.
Corky's opened the doors in the 1980s, and has spread throughout the metropolitan area and a few neighboring states.
Fairly standard grub on the menu, brisket, pork, ribs, chicken, and a few local preferences, catfish, spaghetti and more.
You can buy Corky's grub online by the pound, and have it shipped to you, or bump into it, like I did, at WalMart. So add Corky's to the list of restaurant branded foods that will eventually occupy every grocery shelf and freezer. That's what the experts predict, anyway.
The 12 ounce sliced pork dinner comes with beans and applesauce. Prep is a couple minutes in the microwave, or 30 minutes in the oven. I chose the latter. Given the choice, I always choose the latter. (I have this quirk, with no scientific evidence, I think microwaves tend to break down the muscle in meat, and I don't like the resulting texture).
So thirty minutes later, out of the oven, and I tackled the beans first. They're good. I was expecting more brown sugar taste, it wasn't there, and for me, that's a good thing. The have a slightly smokey flavor with is an added ingredient, not part of the process. There's no obvious evidence of the other ingredients, meaning, you don't see chucks of bacon and such.
On to the meat. I like pulled pork, I make it myself at home, so easy in the crock pot, throw it in before leaving for the factory, ready when I get home. This is shoulder meat, which is the right choice for pulled pork, at least most 'experts' say so. There's a modest amount of sauce in the meat tray.
And the meat is restaurant perfect. Irregular sized bits of pork, nice smoke, great texture, (which I don't think I would have got in the microwave), mild sauce. More than an adequate amount to satisfy more appetites. I wish they sold it on its own in the grocery, by the tub, I'd be a customer. Well, maybe they do, and I'm just not aware. (You can buy it all by its lonesome online, in 3 or 6 pound tubs). It's a little too spendy for me but at least shipping is included.
I even liked the applesauce, which isn't really sauce, but chunks of apple "sauced." Does include high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient in that, not sure that's necessary.
Dinner clocked out at four bucks. Worth it, I think. I'd do it again. I will do it again.
Other varieties are available as well.
The company is obviously serious about cracking the grocery segment, as they didn't sub the product out to some other manufacturer, but have their own USDA inspected plant in Memphis. (pictured below).

The restaurant part of the legend of the Billy Goat Tavern began on Chicago's South Side in 1934. Greek immigrant William Sianas paid $205 for the Lincoln Tavern.
In 1964, Sianas moved the bar to its current subterranean location, and it's here, underneath Chicago's Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue, that the modern part of the legend originated.
The bar was located midway between the Chicago Tribune Tower and the rival Chicago Sun Times building; it became a popular hangout of reporters trying to steal each others scoops (or brag about their own).
1978,the 3rd season of Saturday Night Live, and cast members John Belushi, Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray did a sketch about the fictional "Olympia Cafe" which paid homage to the proprietor and staff of the Billy Goat. At the Olympia there was no food choice other than cheeseburgers and chips, no drinks but Pepsi, and the refrains uttered comedically by Belushi (with a "Greek accent") were actually heard frequently at the Billy Goat.
Fast forward today the Billy Goat has multiple locations, but the ambiance of the original remains intact. As you walk down the stairs from Michigan Avenue, you might think you're walking into the river or some dark hell, but at the bottom the welcome neon of the Billy Goat beckons you in.
They have apparently made a licensing deal with Devanco, a Chicago foods company that started in 1993 and was purchased and amped up in 2004. Previously, they sold mostly supplies to Greek restaurants, like gyro meat, pitas, and sauces.
They've expanded to the retail arena, and in addition to Greek offerings like a home Gyro Kit, they manufacture and distribute foods for Mike Ditka's brand. Their (his) version of Italian beef is superb.
This week (4/24/17) Devanco started selling 2 pound boxes of 100% ground beef patties with Billy Goat's name on them; there are two versions, 5 patties to a pound, or 3 patties to a pound. The two pound boxes check out at over $12, and that's a lot.
The patties are made in Devanco's suburban Chicago plant (pictured below).
The cooking instructions for the Billy Goat are no different than most frozen patties, skillet, medium heat, 3-4 minutes one side (until the juices start to ooze through), flip, couple more minutes.
I was eager to taste these since they have zero additives. As in NONE. Some brands of frozen patties include beef broth, cow heart(!!) and liquid smoke. Here I'm getting cow only. So what's the verdict?
Let's get the bad news out of the way first. I am not going to, under any circumstances I can think of, pay $12 for frozen burger patties. No matter if they were the best burger you ever had, that's a good 30-40% above their largest competitors.
Second bit of 'bad news.' The patties are packaged in 5 packs inside the box. Which means I have to separate, put in a different bag or container and refreeze any that I don't use at the time. Luckily, the patties are separated by what the industry calls "patty paper," which makes them easy to separate.
So I removed one and semi-followed the instructions. With a frozen patty at medium heat, I flipped after 3 minutes and went 2 more. I tasted the plain patty first before dressing it and putting it on a Martin's Potato Roll (not what the Billy Goat uses, tho). Dressed with a half sour dill, raw onion and yellow mustard.
Flavor was very beefy, which is good, seems most frozen patties have some sort of strange "undercurrent" of taste, at least to me, and this one doesn't. I'm also happy with the texture, which closely resembles the grind you'd find in grocery ground beef. Some competitors reduce their "beef" and other ingredients to a slurry before sending them to the patty forming machine.
In other words, I'm happy with the product, and it does justice to the burger served in the restaurant. I think they'd be great on a charcoal grill.
I'll be interested to see how this product does. You have to be a certain age to get the whole SNL connection, and outside of Chicago, it's not that the Billy Goat is a global iconic brand name.
I said this post was about one part of the Billy Goat legend. There's a whole other story there. Think Chicago Cubs. Here's the dope if you're interested.

Hermès unveils new Beijing flagship
French Maison Hermès has unveiled a newly transformed flagship store in Beijing's business district, in the China World Trade Centre.
The 'eye-catching façade that beckons from afar', covers two floors and more than 900 sq m. The 11m-high storefront is said to be 'a technical feat of engineering and craftsmanship' cast in undulating, engraved double-glass panels, that 'evoke a forest of bamboo'.
The store can be accessed both from inside the mall and the street and features the complete Hermès line-up across women's and men's fashion, accessories, beauty and home collections.
The interior was created by Parisian architecture agency RDAI as an 'open plan and fluid layout, awash with a feeling of lightness and tranquillity'. It features 'nuanced pastels and mineral hues, like celadon and gold, of traditional etchings and paintings'. The murals on the first floor were painted on Chinese wild silk; and the woven bamboo on the second floor was also locally sourced. There are also bespoke design details 'realised via a tremendous collaborative process with local craftsmen, such as the nuanced terrazzo floors (made of Chinese stone and pebble aggregate), the renowned Faubourg Saint-Honoré mosaics, hand-fashioned furnishings and cabinetry'.
The first floor houses silks, perfumes and fashion jewellery, plus menswear. There's also a men's made-to-measure salon set off to the side for added privacy for higher-spending customers.
A split staircase, which gives visitors a view of the two levels of the store, is backed by a 3D plaster wall that echoes the façade. It leads to up the larger second floor that houses leather goods, watches and jewellery, home collections and womenswear, plus a private VIP room.
The Maison said that throughout the space, a "carefully curated selection of art illuminates the relationship between Hermès and China". The two notable commissioned artworks, are an equestrian-inspired triptych by French artist Jean-Louis Sauvat that sits almost suspended from the wall above the staircase, and an ink drawing by Chinese artist Li Xin in the perfume area.
With a focus on local anchoring and sustainable natural materials, Hermès is developing its environmentally responsible culture through the renovation of its store in the heart of the China World mall in Beijing, which opened on 30 April.
G/F, China World Shopping Mall , No. 1, Jianguomenwai Avenue ,
Beijing, 100004,
The new Hermès store in Beijing China World combines artistic heritage and local know-how with the architectural codes of the Hermès Faubourg Saint-Honoré store, in Paris, in order to introduce visitors to the Maison's métiers. Come into the beautiful world of Hermès.

Kerr on defeat, improving and WSL
Arsenal Ladies manager Shelley Kerr spoke to the media after her side were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage on Sunday afternoon.Here's a transcript of what she had to say:
on the defeat…The first thing I would like to say is a huge congratulations to Birmingham. I thought over the two legs they thoroughly deserved to be in the semi-final. What they did do well was the basics. They fought for every single ball, they were committed, they had hunger, they had desire. Saying that, our goalkeeper didn't have a save to make today but that's football and I think we just need to move on quickly. We're really disappointed but all credit to Birmingham.
on the performance over the two legs with a new team…Yes of course but Birmingham have had a lot of new, inexperienced players in as well and they've done a fantastic job. They've done the basics better than us.
on the upcoming WSL season…We've got to get ready. When you see our performances over the two legs, we're not good enough to win the competition. But we need to put that behind us and get ready for the Super League competition which is the bread and butter in women's football. We need to go back to the drawing board and make improvements.
on the main improvements that need to be made…Basics. I don't think any player goes out there not wanting to try, that's the first thing. These players were trying but we need to do basic things better. Our passing wasn't as good as it's been. That's what happens when you get put under pressure, Birmingham did that and we have to cope with that better.

The Mediation Act 2017
"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbours to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often the real loser – the fees, and expenses, and waste of time. As a peace-maker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough"
The above citation is an extract from the former president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln's Notes on Practical Law which was published in the early nineteenth century. Now, with the Meditation Act 2017 (the "Act") being signed into law by the President on 2 October 2017, his words and the promotion of alternative dispute resolution are more pertinent than ever. The Irish courts have long been supporters of the process of mediation. The Rules of the Superior Courts permit judges to adjourn proceedings in order to facilitate mediation, so already in advance of the Act, cost sanctions are in place for those who unreasonably refuse to accept this alternative route to resolution.
The long-awaited Act (the commencement of which is expected in the short term) now brings mediation even more to the fore, encouraging settlement of civil disputes by mediation and specifying the principles applicable to the mediation process. The Act places the promotion of mediation as an attractive alternative to court proceedings on a statutory footing.
Role of Legal Representatives
Section 14 of the Act imposes a legal obligation on a "practising solicitor" to advise their clients, prior to issuing proceedings, to consider mediation as a means of dispute resolution. A solicitor must now inform the client of the advantages of resolving their dispute by alternative means to litigation and the benefits of mediation. They must also provide the client with information in respect of the mediation services available, including the contact information of recommended mediators, confidentiality obligations and the enforceability of mediation settlements.
If a client chooses not to participate in mediation and to continue with court proceedings, the originating document by which those proceedings are instituted must be accompanied by a statutory declaration sworn by the solicitor confirming that they have performed their obligations in relation to the client. If such a declaration is not filed, the Court will adjourn any proceedings issued until such time as it is provided.
The Act has introduced the following procedural changes:
"Agreement to Mediate"
As per section 7 of the Act, before the commencement of mediation the parties and the proposed mediator must sign an "agreement to mediate". The agreement must set out:
the manner in which the mediation is to be conducted;
the manner in which the fees and costs of the mediation will be paid;
the place and time at which the mediation is to be conducted;
the fact that the mediation is to be conducted in a confidential manner;
the right of each of the parties to seek legal advice;
subject to section 6(6) of the Act, the manner in which the mediation may be terminated.
"Judicial discretion"
Section 21 of the Act allows for further judicial discretion in awarding costs penalties with regards to the conduct of the litigants when it comes to considering mediation. The Courts may have regard to "any unreasonable refusal or failure by a party" to consider or attend mediation. Thus a party may expose itself to the risk of an award of costs against it where it is found to have unreasonably refused to consider or attend mediation. This provides clients who may not have previously had the financial resources to pursue a claim a greater opportunity to access mediation as a means of dispute resolution. This alternative route is likely to also assist them in avoiding the costly and lengthy process of litigation.
Mediation and the Statue of Limitations
Section 18 of the Act provides that from the date of signing the agreement to mediate, time will effectively stop for bringing claims under the Statute of Limitations until 30 days after either a mediation settlement is signed (by the parties and the mediator) or the mediation is terminated, whichever first occurs.
Role of the Mediator and Mediation Council of Ireland
The role of a mediator is to assist parties to a mediation agreement to reach a mutually acceptable agreement to resolve the dispute the subject of that agreement. Section 8 of the Act sets out the steps to be taken by a mediator prior to the commencement of mediation, including the requirement that the mediator must give a copy of any code of practice to which he or she adheres to the parties so that they are informed of the standards to which their mediator has committed. The Act also provides for the possible establishment of an independent Mediation Council of Ireland, which will be required to make reports to the Minister for Justice and Equality in relation to mediation in the State.
It is important that legal representatives are aware of their role in the process of mediation and the responsibilities that now arise under the Act. Failing to acknowledge these obligations will result in the proceedings being adjourned until the legal representative illustrates their compliance.
The Act is to be welcomed and should result in a material reduction in both costs and resources in a wide variety of disputes. It should be noted however, that not all disputes are amenable to mediation; claims that seek to vindicate constitutional rights for example may still need to be determined by a judge.

The Mets beat the Cubs and it rained continuously.
October 8th. Fearful itching all over.
After much prodding and goading from H.
I agree to see a skin-specialist.
And with innumerable pods to pop.
And have agreed we'd die for less.
And one of those tight-fitting, wavy-patterned sweaters.
One is of course unshockable nowadays. But should the relatively small space devoted to poems each week in the LRB be filled with grotesqueries such as appeared in your issue of 24 May? Ms Pitt-Kethley's nauseating comments on the smokers she takes to bed with her are not merely unbelievably nasty in their implications, but sick – an insult to your women readers, to the men they like and admire, and to a tradition of poetry that can accommodate John Wilmot, but prefers Andrew Marvell. By these standards Mr Mark Ford's two banal exhibits are not poetry at all.

Will 5G Replace Your Home Broadband?
Sarah Thomas, Director, Women in Comms, 4/10/2018
Email This Print Comment 34 comments
The availability of 5G wireless service could accelerate fixed-to-wireless broadband substitution in Australia, according to a new report from the country's consumer watchdog, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The ACCC makes this determination in part by looking at the potential peak speeds for 5G, which far outpace fixed broadband offerings today. The New Daily reports that ACCC says 5G has a maximum speed of 10,000 Mbit/s, around 300 times faster than the average home broadband connection.
Source: ACCC/GSMA via The New Daily
The viability of 5G as a consumer's only Internet connection will depend on the price and performance, ACCC points out, but also on the business model for 5G. Operators haven't shared how they will price it yet, but if they offer it with data caps -- as is likely -- it will be hard to compete with unlimited fixed wireless service for any significant usage. ACCC says that Australia's wireless operators typically cap data at less than 200GB per month.
The ACCC's determination that 5G will be users' only connection may be optimistic, at least for the short-term future. For one thing, it will be a long time before 5G is the dominant network that wireless consumers are actually on. Most operators will be deploying non-standalone networks that rely on 4G LTE for fallback, and they will fall back in the first year or more of commercial service as 5G gets off the ground.
What's more, theoretical speeds are far from actual speeds. They require perfect conditions and an unloaded network. 5G will be faster than most consumers need for any normal usage, and it will be zippy enough for the video streaming, AR/VR apps and more that have people hyping the network. But actual speeds will shake out below the peak when the network is popularized.
That said, the ACCC is right in pointing out that business model may be the biggest hindrance to fixed-to-wireless substitution. Wireless operators in Australia or elsewhere have not committed to unlimited 5G data, and most are struggling with how to monetize 5G at all, so I wouldn't expect them to go all in on an unlimited offer. That, more than anything, may encourage users to keep their fixed line connections around a little longer.
The ACCC covers a lot of ground in its 176-page report, which is worth checking out whether you live in Australia or not. You can find the entire PDF document right here.

NBK Capital Global Markets Commentary – April 2018
Kuwait: May 8, 2018
The UK's equity market was one of the best performers across global equities in April
Global equities broke their two-month losing streak in April with the MSCI All Country World Index climbing up 0.8%. US equities followed suit, yet posted lower returns with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Index each closing slightly higher, up 0.3%. In the US, market volatility was a major concern with a potential trade war with China brewing and an air strike on Syria. Further adding suspense to market participants was the upcoming earning season, which for the most part exceeded expectations. During the month, the US 10 year treasury broke through the 3% yield for the first time in almost 4 years alleviating some concerns surrounding a flattening of the yield curve which would have indicated a weaker economic position. The Federal Reserve has recently confirmed that it is on track for two additional hikes during 2018. On the economic front, the Markit Manufacturing PMI came in below the previous reading yet still above the 50 mark at 57.3. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Q1 annualized came in at 2.3%, higher than the consensus.
In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 posted a gain of 3.9%, making April the best month of 2018 so far. Unlike the US, European equities performed well during the month. Within continental Europe, three of the largest markets closed in the green. The French CAC 40 Index closed up 6.8% followed by the German DAX 30 Index up 4.3% and Spain's IBEX 35 Index up 4.0%. During the month, European leaders made it clear that they were willing to hit back if the US placed tariffs on Euro countries. Towards the end of the month, the US did announce an extension of tariff exemptions for the Euro countries avoiding any form of a cross Atlantic trade war. The Markit Manufacturing PMI for the Eurozone came in flat compared to the previous month at 56.2 while the preliminary Consumer Price Index for April, year on year, came in at 1.2%, which was slightly lower than the previous reading.
The UK's equity market was one of the best performers across global equities in April. The FTSE 100 posted a gain of 6.4% in April, marking its first month of positive return in 2018. Brexit remains a primary concern, although during April, UK's parliament attached two amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill moving further away from a hard divorce. Mixed economic data during the month has reduced market expectations of a Bank of England rate hike in their May meeting. The UK economy remains robust with the Markit Manufacturing PMI above 50 at 53.9. The preliminary reading of Q1 GDP, year on year, came in at 1.2%, which was slightly lower than then the previous reading of 1.4%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 reversed its negative performance from the previous two months, closing in April up 4.7%. During the month, Japan's Prime Minister visited the US and agreed to open a trade dialogue with the US. The Bank of Japan at their latest meeting left their key interest rate unchanged although it did suggest that it is struggling to achieve its 2.0% inflation target despite the strong economic data and overall growth. The Nikkei Manufacturing PMI came in above 50 at 53.8 while the Markit Service PMI also came in above 50 at 52.9.
In terms of Emerging markets, the MSCI Emerging Market Index in April continued its losing streak for the third month straight, closing in the red 0.6%. On a year to date basis the index remains positive given the stellar performance in January of 8.3%. Throughout the month, a US China trade war has taken center stage. Towards the end of the month, President Trump sent an economic team to Beijing in the hopes of dialing back the rhetoric and coming to an understanding. On the Korean peninsula, North and South Korean leaders met for the first time in 11 years. The one-day meeting is historic with both ends declaring a mutual effort to "establish a permanent and solid peace on the Peninsula".[CNBC] The Shanghai Composite Index continued to underperform for the third month running closing in the red, down 2.7% while the KOSPI 200 Index posted a gain of 2.8%. On the economic front in China, the NBS Manufacturing PMI and Non-Manufacturing PMI came in above 50 at 51.4 and 54.8, respectively. Furthermore, the year on year Q1 GDP came in at 6.8%, no different than the previous reading.
Brent Oil in April closed up 7.0% marking its second month straight of positive performance. On a year to date basis, the commodity has increased in price by 12.4% reaching a 40-month high of USD 73.48 pbl. Brent prices increased due to geopolitical concerns ranging from renewed sanctions on Iran to air strikes on Syria. Further providing support to the price rise was the strengthening of global demand and reduced crude inventory levels throughout the month. Gold, on the other hand, did not perform nearly as well, dropping in April 0.8%.
GCC equities ended the month in the green 3.1% as measured by the S&P GCC Index. The GCC equity markets were supported by higher oil prices with Qatar taking the lead, up 6.3%, followed by Saudi Arabia up 4.3% and Abu Dhabi up 1.8%. The worst performing index was Bahrain Bourse's All Share Index down 4.6%, followed by Kuwait's down 3.2% and Dubai down 1.4%. MENA equities, as measured by the S&P Pan Arab Composite Index, also closed the month of April in the Green 2.7% with Egypt's EGX 30 posting positive returns of 4.8%.

De Grand Prix-wegrace van België 1961 was de zesde Grand Prix van wereldkampioenschap wegrace in het seizoen 1961. De races werden verreden op 2 juli 1961 op het Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps nabij Malmedy. In België kwam de 350cc-klasse niet aan de start.

Algemeen
In België vond de laatste Grand Prix van de zijspanklasse plaats, maar de wereldtitel was al eerder beslist. De andere klassen waren pas op de helft van hun seizoen en daar was de WK-strijd nog overal open.

500cc-klasse
Gary Hocking won zoals verwacht de 500cc-race met een flinke voorsprong op Mike Hailwood en Bob McIntyre. In de WK-stand bleef Hailwood echter op schootsafstand met slechts drie punten achterstand omdat hij overal punten had gescoord terwijl Hocking in de TT van Man was uitgevallen. Mike Duff reed zijn Matchless G50 voor het eerst in de punten.

Top tien tussenstand 500cc-klasse

250cc-klasse
Voor aanvang van deze race stonden Mike Hailwood, Tom Phillis en Jim Redman op de eerste drie plaatsen van het WK. In België finishten ze in omgekeerde volgorde, waardoor ze samen met 26 punten aan de leiding kwamen. Redman scoorde zijn eerste overwinning. Sadao Shimazaki maakte het succes voor Honda compleet. Suzuki stelde weer een RV 61 ter beschikking van Paddy Driver, die slechts zevende werd met een ronde achterstand. John Hartle had net als Hailwood en Bob McIntyre nu zelf een Honda RC 162 aangeschaft, maar hij haalde de finish niet.

Top tien tussenstand 250cc-klasse

125cc-klasse
Luigi Taveri scoorde zijn eerste overwinning voor Honda door Tom Phillis en Jim Redman op de streep te kloppen. Voor WK-leider Phillis was dat niet erg, want zijn grootste bedreiging kwam van Ernst Degner, die slechts vierde werd. Phillis breidde zijn voorsprong dus zelfs nog uit.
