Here I Am (Kelly Rowland album)
Lay It on Me
Dylan Scott
2 Years On
Kelendria Trene "Kelly" Rowland (born February 11, 1981) is an American recording artist, actress and television personality. Rowland rose to fame in the late 1990s as a member of Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. During their hiatus, Rowland released her debut solo album Simply Deep (2002), which sold 2.5 million copies worldwide and produced the number-one single "Dilemma" with Nelly, as well as the international top-ten hit "Stole". Rowland also transitioned into acting, with guest appearances in television sitcoms, and starring roles in Freddy vs. Jason (2003) and The Seat Filler (2005).
Following the disbandment of Destiny's Child in 2005, she released her second album Ms. Kelly (2007), which included international hits "Like This" and "Work". In 2009, Rowland served as a host on the first season of The Fashion Show, and was featured on David Guetta's number-one dance hit "When Love Takes Over". The song's global success influenced Rowland to explore dance music on her third album Here I Am (2011), which spawned the international top-ten hit "Commander" and US R&B/Hip-Hop number-one "Motivation". In 2011, she returned to television as a judge on the eighth season of The X Factor UK, and in 2013, became a judge on the third and final season of The X Factor USA. Rowland's fourth album Talk a Good Game (2013), which saw a return to her "R&B roots", was released to positive reviews.

Here I Am is the third studio album by American recording artist Kelly Rowland, released through Universal Motown (Universal Music) on July 22, 2011. The album is Rowland's first release since parting ways with her long-time manager Matthew Knowles and record label Columbia Records. Here I Am is predominately a pop, R&B and dance album. It follows Rowland's assertion that "no one puts her in a box" with common themes around womanhood, sexual intimacy and love. Originally scheduled for release in 2010, the album was pushed back after the first round of singles were released to mixed reception, both with critics and commercially.
"Commander" (2010) produced by and featuring David Guetta topped the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart and became a top-ten hit in the UK and some of Europe. Three other singles: "Forever and a Day", "Rose Colored Glasses" and "Grown Woman", all had limited commercial success and are subsequently included on selected editions of the album or excluded altogether. The international version of the album features seventeen songs including ones excluded from the US editions and some remixes. Here I Am features guest performances from Lil Wayne, Nelly, Rico Love, Lil Playy, The WAV.s and Big Sean, who features on the single "Lay It on Me". Production of the album was handled by the likes of Rodney Jerkins, Guetta, Jim Jonsin, Hit-Boy, RedOne and The Runners. Love wrote half of the songs on the album, while Rowland received writing credits for three of the songs.

"Lay It on Me" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Rowland featuring two rap verses from American rapper Big Sean. Taken from her third studio album Here I Am (2011), the contemporary R&B song was written by Sean and Ester Dean while Hit-Boy co-wrote and produced the song with a piano-driven melody. Laced with elements of 808s and high NRG beats, "Lay It on Me" tells the story of Rowland describing sexual encounters with her lover.
The song was served to US rhythmic radio on August 16, 2011 by Universal Motown as the album's second single, and later in 2012 as the album's fourth international single. It was met by a warm response from critics, who generally praised the sex appeal of the song, progressive production and suggestive lyrics. "Lay It On Me" has peaked in the top-fifty of the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In the UK, Lay It On Me failed to match the success of its predecessor 'Down For Whatever' which became a top-ten hit. This was due to a lack of promotion and airplay.

Dylan Scott (born October 22, 1990 in Bastrop, Louisiana) is an American country music singer-songwriter. Scott is signed to Curb Records.
Scott's debut single, "Makin' This Boy Go Crazy", was released in June 2013. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "the native Louisianan can really rumble when he reaches down to hit the low notes, but his performance won't leave female fans tingling like the greats." It charted for ten weeks on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, peaking at number 54 in April 2014. The song's music video premiered on CMT in December 2013.
Scott's second single, "Mmm, Mmm, Mmm", was released in July 2014. Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal gave the song a B+ rating, writing that "the song has a Jake Owen meets Colt Ford vibe to it, especially since he displays his smooth baritone and rap vocals."
Both songs are included on a self-titled extended play, which was released on February 11, 2014. The EP was produced by Jim Ed Norman. It peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

2 Years On is the eighth album released by English rock band Bee Gees and their sixth international release. This LP was released in November 1970. The album reached No. 32 on the US charts, and sold 375,000 copies worldwide. The album saw the return of Robin Gibb to the group after the earlier disagreement and subsequent split following Odessa. 2 Years On was also the first album to feature drummer Geoff Bridgford, who remained a full-time member of the group until 1972 although he was not pictured on the sleeve. The best-known track is "Lonely Days". Released as the first single by the reunited brothers, it charted high in the US No. 3 in Billboard, No. 1 in rival chart Cashbox, but peaked at No. 33 in the United Kingdom.
On March 1969, Robin announced that he was leaving the band. In June, he released his debut solo single "Saved by the Bell", which reached No. 2 on the UK charts. In August, drummer Colin Petersen was fired and was replaced by Terry Cox to complete the album Cucumber Castle. Before the album was released, Barry and Maurice announced that the Bee Gees had split in December 1969. The pair released singles, "Railroad" by Maurice and "I'll Kiss Your Memory" by Barry, but their respective albums The Loner and The Kid's No Good remain unreleased until this day. During the temporary break-up of the group, Maurice appeared in London musical theatre production Sing a Rude Song. Maurice recalls: "We got fed up with all the lawyers fighting over our assets, so we walked out of this big summit meeting and started the group again".

I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never really went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused the spark
That's a four alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
Never saw rainbows in my wine
Now that your lips are burning mine

Getting Lucky
Music lovers weather the storm for unforgettable day at Willie Nelson's ranch
Nicole Raney
Mar 20, 2016 | 12:28 pm
About 30 miles west of Austin you'll find a wonderland where country music flows like water, everyone is your friend, and even bad weather can be magical.
The place is Willie Nelson's ranch, Luck, Texas. Originally built as the set for Nelson's 1986 film, Red Headed Stranger, the ranch now serves as the occasional host to unforgettable festivals, like the first ever Luck Reunion, held March 18.
On Friday, music lovers ditched the hubbub of SXSW to gather at Nelson's ranch for a day "dedicated to cultivating and celebrating the evolution of our American roots." Guests were treated to live music, pop-up vendors, complimentary drinks, and food truck fare, plus an unexpected Central Texas storm.
While severe weather forced everyone to take shelter in cars, tents, and barns, spirits were lifted by impromptu acoustic jams from the festival's performers. And because many sets were rained out, artists and bands took the stage together to make up for lost time after the storm passed. Highlights included an intimate session with Jenny Lewis, Lucius, and Shelly Colvin inside a chapel, followed by a stripped down performance from Billy Joe Shaver.
After much anticipation, Nelson himself rocked the Revival Tent with Insects vs. Robots serving as his band — a perfect end to a crazy Hill Country night.
Amasa Hines tore up the stage at Luck Reunion.

Tavel Bristol-Joseph earned a nomination in the Best Chef: Texas category.
The James Beard Foundation has revealed the semifinalists for its 2023 Restaurant and Chef Awards. Six Austin restaurants have been included in both national categories and the coveted title of Best Chef: Texas.
Considered the Oscars of the food world, the awards recognize outstanding chefs and other culinary professionals in a wide range of categories ranging from Outstanding Chef to Best New Restaurant. The awards also include media categories that will be announced at a later date.
Austin restaurants and bars are well represented among both the national and regional awards. Overall, the city earned three national nominations and three nominations for Best Chef: Texas. Perhaps one of them will follow Austin chefs Edgar Rico, Iliana de la Vega, and Jesse Griffiths, who took home James Beard Awards in 2022.
Outstanding Restaurant: La Condesa
Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker: Mariela Camacho, Comadre Panadería
Outstanding Wine and Other Beverages Program: Suerte
Best Chef: Texas nominees
Tavel Bristol-Joseph, Canje
Damien Brockway, Distant Relatives
Kareem El-Ghayesh, KG BBQ
Elsewhere, Houston and Dallas both boast 10 nominees, San Antonio has seven, and Fort Worth has two.
As with last year, the nominees include a wide range of barbecue pitmasters. Austin's KG BBQ and Distant Relatives are joined by the pitmasters at five other restaurants. Building on Austin chef Iliana de la Vega's Best Chef: Texas win last year, several chefs who serve Mexican cuisine received semifinalist nominations.
Finalists will be announced on Wednesday, March 29. The Foundation will reveal its winners at an awards ceremony on Monday, June 5, 2023, at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Talks Smalling, Alexis Exits, Zlatan Man United Return
Tom Sunderland@@TomSunderland_Twitter LogoFeatured ColumnistAugust 30, 2019
Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Chris Smalling is set to join AS Roma on loan, and he also discussed Zlatan Ibrahimovic's possible return and Alexis Sanchez's recent departure to Inter Milan.
Smalling, 29, hasn't featured in a matchday squad this season, falling down United's pecking order after the £80 million arrival of Harry Maguire from Leicester City.
Solskjaer spoke to reporters on Friday and said he had a surplus of options in central defence, with Smalling eager to pursue first-team opportunities elsewhere:
"It's just come up the last couple of days this opportunity for Chris, we've sat down and discussed it, at the moment we've got six fit centre backs, I couldn't promise Chris regular football, so he's on the plane over now.
"I think he'll enjoy the experience, it's a big club, a big league, not many English players have had the chance to play in Italy. He'll come back stronger and fitter for it."
Speaking to MUTV (h/t Charlotte Duncker of the Manchester Evening News), the United chief said neither Anthony Martial nor Luke Shaw would take part in Saturday's Premier League visit to Southampton.
Romelu Lukaku left a hole in their attack after he joined Inter Milan this summer, and Ibrahimovic—who left Old Trafford in March 2018—recently talked about a possible return to reinforce United. He suggested his work in Europe was complete but added he was "here" if United needed him, per Kieran Francis of Goal.
Solskjaer initially appeared open to signing the Los Angeles Galaxy striker, via Sky Sports News:
Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews
"Who knows? He has my number..." 👀📞 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer responds to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's offer to return to Old Trafford… 🔴 Follow all of today's Premier League build-up live here: https://t.co/YDNC280c0q https://t.co/dAj1tNNNEq
He told reporters: "If he was 28 not 38 next month, there'a big difference. Zlatan had a great time here, he's still doing well, it's unfortunate he got his injury here. Who knows, he knows my number, he looked at my house (to rent). We can speak a native language, if he's serious, I'll always speak to Zlatan."
However, Solskjaer was asked again whether he would seriously consider signing Ibrahimovic and said: "I don't think that'll happen, no. I think he's had his time at the club, he's had a fantastic career at the club."
Summer signing Daniel James has scored twice in his first three league appearances for United, but the injury to Martial causes some concern the team will be left light in attack.
Inter recently confirmed the signing of Sanchez on a season-long loan—he has a contract at United until June 2022 but has scored just five goals in 45 appearances for the club.
Solskjaer said he wanted those left fighting for their places to feel the pressure:
"I think Alexis needed to go. It has not really worked out for him. It will only benefit everyone.
"I'm trusting Marcus (Rashford), Anthony (Martial), Mason (Greenwood) to be our centre forwards. We've got loads of options and for me it is time for our boys to feel the pressure. It is something which we are looking forward to."
The Norwegian, who played alongside the Class of '92 for much of his career, called on those young, emerging players to step up to the first-team challenge:
Manchester United @ManUtd
"It's time for our boys to feel that responsibility," says the boss. "That's something we are looking forward to at this club. "With what we've done in pre-season, we are mentally and physically ready for that challenge. That's the next step." #MUFC
The future of goalkeeper David De Gea—whose contract expires in 2020—remains a topic of concern at United.
However, Solskjaer told reporters there was little movement in negotiations: "There are still ongoing talks, I can't update you no."
United began their season with a 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea but have since failed to keep a clean sheet in two outings.
Solskjaer said he's targeting an improved defensive performance in the trip to St Mary's in particular:
Ole: "Clean sheets are always the foundation to build on and we started really well against Chelsea, but we know the two against Palace should have been avoided. "We hope to go down there [to Southampton] and look stronger at the back." #MUFC https://t.co/KarQ1jchE4
United will hope to end a run of two games without a win against Southampton. They suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace in Week 3 having drawn 1-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their previous outing.

Reeb Avenue Center
Reeb Avenue CenterKevin Dockman2019-11-23T12:19:12-05:00
A HUB OF HOPE
A great building is more than just an impressive structure; it holds the promise that remarkable things will happen behinds its doors for centuries to come.
Over a century after its doors first opened, the former Reeb Elementary School was in store for much more than a simple facelift – it was transformed into a collaborative, inviting space to bring new opportunities to Columbus's South Side. Led by the City of Columbus, the State of Ohio, and a group of passionate donors, this collective team united to ask the question, "How can we impact the neighborhoods of the South Side Gateway?" The answer was to invest time, money, creativity, and spirit into a massive rehabilitation project now commonly referred to as a "Hub of Hope": the Reeb Avenue Center.
The vision for the renovated building was to serve over a dozen tenants, offering everything from after-school programs to job training. New features would include a kitchen, food market, and café on the lower level, restrooms on each floor, and the installation of a new elevator to access the entire building.
MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF A DIFFICULT PROJECT
After successfully winning the project, Marker Construction dove headfirst into the obstacles this $12 million, 52,000 SF renovation and 16,000 SF addition posed. The project schedule was tight from the beginning – 11 months to abate and renovate a 108-year-old school while concurrently razing the east wing to construct a new childcare center.
Although the original schedule only detailed 200 construction activities, by the end of the project, the activities had quadrupled to over 850. Changes to the original design came on an almost daily basis, and our project management team had to keep up with over 290 RFIs and 90 change orders. Our team had to act quickly, problem solving and communicating efficiently with stakeholders and subcontractors in order to maintain control over a restoration project of this complexity and scope.
Inclement weather and unforeseen building conditions also threatened to disrupt the project's tight schedule. Historical rain periods in the months of May and June delayed 6-8 weeks of site work. In response, our team worked weekends and carefully re-sequenced other construction activities to make up for lost time.
The elements were stacked against our team; the consensus throughout the project was that the original schedule was impossible to maintain – yet Thomas & Marker was unwavering in the face of these challenges. With resolute focus, shared responsibility, and critical thinking, our team persevered to defy the odds and meet the end user's substantial completion date. We successfully obtained temporary occupation by July 24 so the childcare center could receive their much-anticipated federal grants.
BRINGING THE VISION TO LIFE
Although our responsibility as the General Contractor only entailed the successful construction of this project, our team went above and beyond to demonstrate our loyalty to Reeb's dynamic ownership team. We were inspired by the vision the donors shared at the groundbreaking ceremony; it compelled us to meet every deadline without compromise and to extend ourselves beyond our contractual obligations in a variety of ways.
While the Reeb donors fought to preserve a crumbling building that could just as easily have been bulldozed, we worked to bring their vision to life. Despite the many obstacles we encountered, we brought an element of relentless determination that carried us through to the finish line, giving the South Side the resources, it needs to reignite hope in a historic community.
"Your team has been amazing over the last year, whether it was dealing with the freezing cold temperatures, water issues, boilers or our interruption of over 100 tours in the building during construction, everyone has been engaged in their work and accommodating. We have been very impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the integrity of the people working on site."
Jane Grote-Abell
Secretary, Reeb Avenue Center Board of Directors

'I don't have N1bn to give to anybody ' – Olisa Metuh tells court
November 1, 2017 Yomie Latest News & Politics, Today's Trending.... 0
Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, has declared that he does not have N1bn to pay ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan.
He prayed the Federal High Court in Abuja not to set aside the subpoena it issued to compel former President Goodluck Jonathan to appear as a witness in his ongoing trial.
Metuh further kicked against Jonathan's insistence that the defendant must deposit with the court, for and on behalf of himself, the sum of N1billion in line with provisions of Section 241(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, before he would mount the witness box.
In a five-paragraphed counter- affidavit that was moved by his lawyer, Mr. Emeka Etiaba, SAN, Metuh said he does not have N1bn to give Jonathan.
Etiaba drew attention of the court to the fact that the bailiff earlier deposed an affidavit that he had yet to serve the subpoena on Jonathan.
"This application is therefore not only soeculative but premature and deserves to be struck out.
"With respect to demand for deposition of N1bn, the 1st defendant in his affidavit averred that he does not have such amount.
"We believe that such demand is punitive and meant to frustate the 1st defendant's attempt at obtaining an evidence that will assist him in the defence of the charge against him before this court.
"It is the view of the 1st defendant that from the first day that he was arrested, he made it clear that the release of the money was authorised by the former President and was released by the former NSA, Dasuki.
"My lord this application simply seeks to set aside the subpoena and to save this nation the embarrasment of having a man who means a lot to the entire country as a former President, to step into the dock to give evidence.
"My lord it is unprecedented, and the embarrassment could have been aborted if the charge against the 1st defendant was not preferred after he had disclosed to the EFCC the source of the fund for which the defendants are standing trial.
"My lord in the circumstance, it is our position that this application be struck out", Etiaba added.

Q: Files generated by TypeScript compiler not recognized as project files in PhpStorm I use PhpStorm 2017.2.3. I don't know if it's an IDE bug, or if I'm doing something wrong but the .js files generated by TypeScript compiler are somehow "invisible" as far as the project is concerned.
I have created a separate project to demonstrate this issue in isolation. It contains only 4 files: one JavaScript file added manually (manually-added.js), one JavaScript file generated by TypeScript compiler (typescript-generated.js), a TypeScript file (typescript-generated.ts) and a tsconfig.json file with the following configuration:
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "module": "commonjs"
  }
}

The only thing I have done apart from creating these files was checking Enable TypeScript Comipler in PhpStorm Settings and pointing it to my tsconfig.json file.
And here's how it looks in PhpStorm:

Note the different icon of typescript-generated.js file. It suggests that something is wrong with this file (and this is indeed the case). Here's what:

*

*It has a different icon as mentioned above.

*You can't use Mark as Plain Text on it (if you do nothing happens).

*It is "invisible" to file watchers and scopes.

As you can see scopes and file watchers detect only 3 files instead of 4:

All suggestions will be appreciated.

Biden plans temporary halt of oil activity in Arctic refuge
By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — President Joe Biden's administration has announced plans for a temporary moratorium on oil and gas leasing in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The move came Wednesday after the Trump administration previously issued leases in a part of the refuge considered sacred by the Indigenous Gwich'in. A U.S. Bureau of Land Management spokesperson says issuing leases was a Trump administration priority following a 2017 law calling for lease sales and she had not seen any guidance on Biden's presidential order. Drilling critics hope Biden moves to provide permanent protections. U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan said Americans did not give Biden "a mandate to kill good-paying jobs and curry favor with coastal elites."

Other firms can learn from Old Mutual
December 1, 2016 December 1, 2016 Brian Sanchez
Government and the private sector should draw valuable lessons from the listing of Old Mutual Zimbabwe Limited (OMZIL) empowerment shares on the Financial Securities (FINSEC) Alternative Trading Platform (ATP) set for today.The diversified financial services group will become the first company, in line with its approved indigenisation implementation plan, to trade a total of 83 011 718 issued and fully paid B Class shares in the capital of the company.
As reported in The Herald Business yesterday, the shares have a nominal value of $0,0000032 per share.
We are heartened to see a group such as Old Mutual Zimbabwe warming up to the indigenisation plan.
The first lesson we can draw from the trade is that the Government's empowerment programme is not some dinosaur seeking to devour the corporate sector. Caledonia Mine successfully indigenised and its community in Matabeleland South is reaping the benefits of this programme. And BAT Zimbabwe, a Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed company, also gave its workers shareholding under its plan and with the recent bull run on its share price, the employees are now fully empowered. Other companies such as Schweppes and PPC also had their empowerment plans implemented.
There has always been a chorus of detractors pouring scorn on the indigenisation programme, seeking to paint the picture of an evil machination by Government designed to rip industry off its profits and shareholding.
Private and international media and local opposition elements keen to advance their foreign masters' plans, have all out-stampeded each other to condemn the noble empowerment plans.
And for years we have sought to highlight that the empowerment drive is not an election gimmick but a reality born out of the need to help the economically marginalised.
And here we are today.
Old Mutual Zimbabwe, one of the biggest corporates in the country, has just confirmed that.
Another lesson we can draw from this development is that the empowerment plan has been broadened to accommodate small buyers.
According to the Securities and Exchange Act (Cap 24:25), the ATP is a lower and second rate exchange.
It is an alternative to the traditional stock exchange. And this will allow those small traders who have for many years been shut out of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange to participate.
The fact that trades happen on the open market enhances transparency in the empowerment programme. In the past there have been concerns relating to the distribution of shares in companies but trading on the ATP will ensure transparency.
Also, the market will determine the price of shares on the ATP and this will potentially deliver fair value.
With these lessons, we then call on other companies to take the same route and allow participation of the workers and local communities.
This could be an easier and yet more rewarding route for the corporates and the marginalised communities.
It is our fervent hope that we will see more corporates coming on board on the ATP to trade empowerment shares.
We are heartened by Government's resolve to ensure that foreign-owned companies are partially indigenised as this gives Zimbabweans access to resources that have for long been in the hands of the elite.
We are pleased to note that OMZIL's indigenisation plan, approved by the then Youth Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment Minister Saviour Kasukuwere, was concluded at a time when there was concerted effort to scuttle the programme. But OMZIL proceeded to follow the law to the letter.
Old Mutual has shown that it is a law abiding corporate citizen ready to contribute to the empowerment of Zimbabweans and ultimately economic development. Zimbabwe needs more of such corporates.
Government should push harder to have more Zimbabweans empowered. We need to see more initiatives focused on empowerment.
While Government is working on creating a conducive environment for business, the private sector must also do its part to comply with the law.
We say well done to Old Mutual for endorsing Government's programme and congratulate FINSEC, a local firm, for having its first listing!

Dramatic. Stunning. Dynamic. These are but a few of the accolades used to describe the "Twirling Waters" fountain. The whimsical, spinning movement of the "Twirling Waters" sprays spiraling strands of water upwards of 20 feet, creating a beautiful circular pattern in motion.
The "Twirling Waters" graceful, arching streams create an innovative focal point to any residential or commercial application. An attractive addition to any pond or lake, the "Twirling Waters" beauty comes in both sight and sound. When accented by our lighting kit, the "Twirling Waters" creates a dramatic and attractive water feature.


March Sixteenth Twenty Seventeen. I love this day, every year. I realize to most this day is just the sixteenth day of March. The seventy-fifth day in the year, seventy-sixth on a leap year. A normal day, this year a Thursday, probably someone's birthday, but in general it is just March Sixteenth.
To me, it is so much more.
It is a reminder of something so beautiful, it is a reminder of love, it is a reminder of hope and peace and grace and all things good. It is a reminder that God, sent His son Jesus to earth to die for our sins and save me and anyone else who believes in him, from eternal death, and instead, gives eternal life with Him. Forever.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only son so that anyone who believes in Him should never perish and have eternal life.
The greatest love story every written and that there ever was, and He did it for you.
My heart swells every time I hear that name, the name of Jesus. Mere words cannot express the love and adoration I have for Him. How much He has changed my life and just how much He loves me, and you.
If you do not know His love, you are missing out. It is yours for the taking and it is such a beautiful thing.

I've only used a deadman a handful of times and fortunately never to hold a fall. I've heard that they were referred to as flukes, not because of the anchor fluke but because it was a fluke if they worked.

Climatology (from Greek κλίμα, klima, "place, zone"; and -λογία, -logia) or climate science is the scientific study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time.[1] This modern field of study is regarded as a branch of the atmospheric sciences and a subfield of physical geography, which is one of the Earth sciences. Climatology now includes aspects of oceanography and biogeochemistry.

The main methods employed by climatologists are the analysis of observations and modelling the physical laws that determine the climate. The main topics of research are the study of climate variability, mechanisms of climate changes and modern climate change. Basic knowledge of climate can be used within shorter term weather forecasting, for instance about climatic cycles such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), the Arctic oscillation (AO), the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO).
Climate models are used for a variety of purposes from study of the dynamics of the weather and climate system to projections of future climate. Weather is known as the condition of the atmosphere over a period of time, while climate has to do with the atmospheric condition over an extended to indefinite period of time.[2]
Further information: History of climate change science
The Greeks began the formal study of climate; in fact the word climate is derived from the Greek word klima, meaning "slope," referring to the slope or inclination of the Earth's axis. Arguably the most influential classic text on climate was On Airs, Water and Places[3] written by Hippocrates around 400 BCE. This work commented on the effect of climate on human health and cultural differences between Asia and Europe.[3] This idea that climate controls which countries excel depending on their climate, or climatic determinism, remained influential throughout history.[3] Chinese scientist Shen Kuo (1031–1095) inferred that climates naturally shifted over an enormous span of time, after observing petrified bamboos found underground near Yanzhou (modern day Yan'an, Shaanxi province), a dry-climate area unsuitable for the growth of bamboo.[4]
The invention of the thermometer and the barometer during the Scientific Revolution allowed for systematic recordkeeping, that began as early as 1640 in England.[3] Early climate researchers include Edmund Halley, who published a map of the trade winds in 1686 after a voyage to the southern hemisphere. Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) first mapped the course of the Gulf Stream for use in sending mail from the United States to Europe. Francis Galton (1822–1911) invented the term anticyclone.[5] Helmut Landsberg (1906–1985) fostered the use of statistical analysis in climatology, which led to its evolution into a physical science.
In the early 20th century, climatology was mostly focused on the description of regional climates. This descriptive climatology was mainly an applied science, giving farmers and other interested people statistics about what the normal weather was and how big chances were of extreme events.[6] To do this, climatologists had to define a climate normal, or an average of weather and weather extremes over a period of typically 30 years.[7]
Around the middle of the 20th century, many assumptions in meteorology and climatology considered climate to be roughly constant. While scientists knew of past climate change such as the ice ages, the concept of climate as unchanging was useful in the development of a general theory of what determines climate. This started to change in the decades that followed, and while the history of climate change science started earlier, climate change only became one of the mean topics of study for climatologists in the seventies and onward.[8]
Various subfields of climatology study different aspects of the climate. There are different categorizations of the fields in climatology. The American Meteorological Society for instance identifies descriptive climatology, scientific climatology and applied climatology as the three subcategories of climatology, a categorization based on the complexity and the purpose of the research.[9] Applied climatologists apply their expertise to different industries such as manufacturing and agriculture.[10]
Paleoclimatology seeks to reconstruct and understand past climates by examining records such as ice cores and tree rings (dendroclimatology). Paleotempestology uses these same records to help determine hurricane frequency over millennia. Historical climatology is the study of climate as related to human history and thus focuses only on the last few thousand years.
Boundary-layer climatology is preoccupied with exchanges in water, energy and momentum near the surface.[11] Further identified subfields are physical climatology, dynamic climatology, tornado climatology, regional climatology, bioclimatology, applied climatology, and synoptic climatology. The study of the hydrological cycle at long time scales (hydroclimatology) is further subdivided within the subfields of snow climatology and hail climatology.[9]
The study of contemporary climates incorporates meteorological data accumulated over many years, such as records of rainfall, temperature and atmospheric composition. Knowledge of the atmosphere and its dynamics is also embodied in models, either statistical or mathematical, which help by integrating different observations and testing how they fit together. Modeling is used for understanding past, present and potential future climates.
Climate research is made difficult by the large scale, long time periods, and complex processes which govern climate. Climate is governed by physical laws which can be expressed as differential equations. These equations are coupled and nonlinear, so that approximate solutions are obtained by using numerical methods to create global climate models. Climate is sometimes modeled as a stochastic process but this is generally accepted as an approximation to processes that are otherwise too complicated to analyze.
Climate data
The collection of long record of climate variables is essential for the study of climate. Climatology deals with the aggregate data that meteorology has collected. As measuring technology changes over time, records of data cannot be compared directly. As cities are generally warmer than the surrounding areas, urbanization has made it necessary to constantly correct data for this urban heat island effect.[12]
Main article: Climate models
Climate models use quantitative methods to simulate the interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. They are used for a variety of purposes from study of the dynamics of the weather and climate system to projections of future climate. All climate models balance, or very nearly balance, incoming energy as short wave (including visible) electromagnetic radiation to the earth with outgoing energy as long wave (infrared) electromagnetic radiation from the earth. Any unbalance results in a change in the average temperature of the earth. Most climate models include the radiative effects of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. These models predict an upward trend in the surface temperatures, as well as a more rapid increase in temperature at higher latitudes.
Models can range from relatively simple to complex:
A simple radiant heat transfer model that treats the earth as a single point and averages outgoing energy
this can be expanded vertically (radiative-convective models), or horizontally
Coupled atmosphere–ocean–sea ice global climate models discretise and solve the full equations for mass and energy transfer and radiant exchange.
Earth system models further include the biosphere.
Topics of research
Topics that climatologists study fall roughly into three categories: climate variability, mechanisms of climate change and modern climate change.[13]
Climatological processes
Various factors impact the average state of the atmosphere at a particular location. For instance, midlatitudes will have a pronounced seasonal cycle in temperature whereas tropical regions show little variation in temperature over the year.[14] Another major control in climate is continentality: the distance to major water bodies such as oceans. Oceans act as a moderating factor, so that land close to it has typically has mild winters and moderate summers.[15] The atmosphere interacts with other spheres of the climate system, with winds generating ocean currents that transport heat around the globe.[16]
Classification is an important aspect of many sciences as a tool of simplifying complicated processes. Different climate classifications have been developed over the centuries, with the first ones in Ancient Greece. How climates are classified depends on what the application is. A wind energy producer will require different information (wind) in the classification than somebody interested in agriculture, for who precipitation and temperature are more important.[17] The most widely used classification, the Köppen climate classification, was developed in the late nineteenth century and is based on vegatation. It uses monthly temperature and precipitation data.[18]
There are different modes of variability: recurring patterns of temperature or other climate variables. They are quantified with different indices. Much in the way the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is based on the stock prices of 30 companies, is used to represent the fluctuations in the stock market as a whole, climate indices are used to represent the essential elements of climate. Climate indices are generally devised with the twin objectives of simplicity and completeness, and each index typically represents the status and timing of the climate factor it represents. By their very nature, indices are simple, and combine many details into a generalized, overall description of the atmosphere or ocean which can be used to characterize the factors which impact the global climate system.
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean responsible for most of the global variability in temperature,[16] and has a cycle between two and seven years.[19] The North Atlantic oscillation is a mode of variability that is mainly contained to the lower atmosphere, the troposphere. The layer of atmosphere above, the stratosphere is also capable of creating its own variability, most importantly in the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), which has a cycle of approximately 30-60 days. The interdecadal pacific oscillation can create changes in the pacific ocean and lower atmosphere on decadal time scales.
Climate change occurs when changes in Earth's climate system result in new weather patterns that remain in place for an extended period of time. This length of time can be as short as a few decades to as long as millions of years. The climate system receives nearly all of its energy from the sun. The climate system also gives off energy to outer space. The balance of incoming and outgoing energy, and the passage of the energy through the climate system, determines Earth's energy budget. When the incoming energy is greater than the outgoing energy, earth's energy budget is positive and the climate system is warming. If more energy goes out, the energy budget is negative and earth experiences cooling. Climate change also influences the average sea level.
Modern climate change is driven by the human emissions of greenhouse gas from the burning of fossil fuel driving up global mean surface temperatures. Rising temperatures are only one aspect of modern climate change though, with includes observed changes in precipitation, storm tracks and cloudiness. Warmer temperatures are driving further changes in the climate system, such as the widespread melt of glaciers, sea level rise and shifts in flora and fauna.
Differences with meteorology
In contrast to meteorology, which focuses on short term weather systems lasting up to a few weeks, climatology studies the frequency and trends of those systems. It studies the periodicity of weather events over years to millennia, as well as changes in long-term average weather patterns, in relation to atmospheric conditions. Climatologists study both the nature of climates – local, regional or global – and the natural or human-induced factors that cause climates to change. Climatology considers the past and can help predict future climate change.
Phenomena of climatological interest include the atmospheric boundary layer, circulation patterns, heat transfer (radiative, convective and latent), interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans and land surface (particularly vegetation, land use and topography), and the chemical and physical composition of the atmosphere.
Use in weather forecasting
Main article: Weather forecasting
A more complicated way of making a forecast, the analog technique requires remembering a previous weather event which is expected to be mimicked by an upcoming event. What makes it a difficult technique to use is that there is rarely a perfect analog for an event in the future.[20] Some call this type of forecasting pattern recognition, which remains a useful method of observing rainfall over data voids such as oceans with knowledge of how satellite imagery relates to precipitation rates over land,[21] as well as the forecasting of precipitation amounts and distribution in the future. A variation on this theme is used in Medium Range forecasting, which is known as teleconnections, when you use systems in other locations to help pin down the location of another system within the surrounding regime.[22] One method of using teleconnections are by using climate indices such as ENSO-related phenomena.[23]

Welcome to BioWilly's Beans! Click here to view our roasts!
Haven't Tried BioWilly's? That's A Depresso...Give It A Shot!
Attention To Detail From Seed To Cup.
From seed to cup, BioWilly's Beans are grown, processed, roasted, and served to meet a sophisticated coffee standard. Our goal as coffee roasters in Seattle is to serve the finest possible coffee while importing world-class beans from all major producing origins. We've curated unique relationships with our quality-focused farmers by establishing a common purpose in understanding the obligation to maintain a persistent, year-round inventory of coffee roasts.
Our assortment of specialty coffees are cupped rigorously to match target qualities and facets, allowing our customers the assurance that they will receive a consistent roast throughout each and every 12oz bag. BioWilly's Beans provides select Seattle venues with a clean, organic, nano-roasted, and consistently delicious full-bodied coffee. The model is simple and sustainable. Our beans are Fair Trade and Farm Gate certified, meaning that farmers are paid directly, "at the farm's gate," eliminating the middle men.
"...conveys authenticity and attention to detail through their several deliciously complex coffee roasts."
"Offers a unique breadth of delicious coffee roasts that succeed all other store-baught coffees by a long shot."
"Has an extraordinary and high quality taste for a great price and is unique to any other coffee I've ever brewed."
"Is by far one of the most appraised coffee roasters in Seattle I've brewed yet!"


Kids love eating with their hands and they love being able to decide what they will eat for dinner. That's why I think that tacos are a great family meal. We serve our tacos family style, with all of the veggies in the middle, so that people can take their favourite bits and pieces (or at least give something new – say purple cabbage instead of iceburg lettuce – a try).
As you know, I am a big fan of tacos as a family meal. I've created 'oven-baked chicken tacos' 'pork and pineapple tacos', 'lime and fish tacos', 'prawn and peach tacos' and simple 'veggie tacos'.
This time I have partnered up with Australian beef to create these delicious beef tacos using beef mince – I believe that this is a great way to incorporate beef and a wide variety of veggies. I believe that veggies don't always have to be 'hidden' in your children's meals and this a great approach to increasing their veggie in take.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add cumin, coriander, and paprika. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 8 minutes or until browned. Add crushed tomato. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, heat taco shells following packet directions. And prepare all the remaining fillings. Remember that child love to try different colours, texture and flavours – so shred the lettuce and the cabbage. Cut the tomatoes into semi circles. Pop the corn into a bowl and allow them to spoon it into their tacos. Mash the avocado with lime and coriander stems. Tear the coriander leaves.
Serve family style in the middle of the table and allow each family member to compile their own.


Each hospital is required to submit a copy of its Chargemaster, a list of average charges for 25 common outpatient procedures, and the estimated percentage change in gross revenue due to price changes each July 1.
Please exercise caution when interpreting OSHPD data. The use of improper assumptions and analytical methods may result in erroneous or misleading conclusions. Conclusions drawn from OSHPD data are the sole responsibility of the user.
The submitted pricing information reflects hospital charges in effect on June 1. As a result, a patient's bill for hospital services provided at a different date may contain different charges. Because each hospital is allowed to determine which 25 outpatient procedures to report to OSHPD, comparisons between hospitals' lists of charges for outpatient procedures may not always be possible.
OSHPD does not have the authority to intervene between patients and hospitals involving billing issues. If you are experiencing problems or have questions regarding your hospital bill that the hospital is not able to fully address, then it is recommended that you contact a not-for-profit patient advocacy group, such as Health Access California for assistance.
AB 1045 repealed the requirement that each hospital annually submit a list of 25 services or procedures commonly charged to patients. Instead, each hospital is required to annually submit a list of charges for 25 common outpatient procedures beginning July 1, 2006.
Two reporting requirements established by AB 1627 remain intact. Each hospital is still required to annually submit a copy of its chargemaster and an estimate of the percentage change in the hospital's gross revenue due to any price change during the 12-month period beginning with the effective date of the previous chargemaster filed. The initial reporting of the estimate calculation and supporting documentation will commence July 1, 2006, using the prices in effect on June 1, 2005 as the beginning date.
To obtain modifications to the requirements specified for electronic file formats, effective date of the documents, submission date of the documents, or methods of submitting electronic files, hospitals must file written requests for modification with OSHPD. Hospitals must have an OSHPD-approved modification prior to implementation of any change to the applicable requirements. Modification requests shall specify the precise changes being requested and the reason(s) the changes are needed. OSHPD will either approve or disapprove requests for modification on a case-by-case basis.
For more detailed information, read the Frequently Asked Questions below.
OSHPD has developed an optional reporting form for hospitals to report the list of average charges for 25 common outpatient procedures including instructions for completing the form. Hospitals are encouraged to use the optional form to report the required list of average charges for 25 common outpatient procedures.
Each hospital must submit the above documents together as attachments to one email, or submit on one Compact Disc (CD) by mail.
A hospital charge description master, also known as a chargemaster or CDM, contains the prices of all services, goods, and procedures for which a separate charge exists. It is used to generate a patient's bill. As required by the Payers' Bill of Rights, each hospital is required to submit a copy of its chargemaster, a list of average charges for 25 common outpatient procedures, and the estimated percentage change in gross revenue due to price changes each July 1.
It is important to note that the State of California does not currently possess the authority to set or limit the prices that are included on the submitted hospital chargemasters. Furthermore, the submitted chargemasters are reviewed for compliance with the statutes specified below, and a full audit of this information is not performed. Therefore, the Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD) is not able to provide an assessment on the accuracy of the submitted information and is not responsible for this information in any manner. The responsibility for any of the submitted data provided regarding the chargemasters rests with hospital management.
The chargemasters are currently not required to be provided in a standardized format. Therefore, it is currently not possible to generate an aggregate statewide chargemaster.
Hospital chargemasters and related pricing information are available online. To purchase/order a copy of hospital chargemaster information on CD/DVD, please contact us and will assist you with your order.
AB 1045 (Chapter 532, Statutes of 2005) amended the Payers' Bill of Rights established by AB 1627 (Chapter 582, Statutes of 2003). These statutes require all licensed general acute care hospitals, psychiatric acute hospitals, and special hospitals in California to make certain pricing information available to the public and to submit this information annually to OSHPD. Health facilities licensed as a Chemical Dependency Recovery Hospital or a Psychiatric Health Facility are exempt from these requirements.
The Payers′ Bill of Rights still requires each licensed hospital to make a written or electronic copy of its chargemaster available at the hospital′s location or on its website. A hospital that is statutorily classified as "small and rural" is exempt from making its chargemaster available on-site.
To view the Payers' Bill of Rights visit the California Law website. Follow the prompts to search for Health and Safety Code 1339.50 – 1339.59.
OSHPD has adopted regulations for reporting hospital chargemasters and related pricing documents in compliance with AB 1627 and AB 1045.
If any person feels that a hospital is in violation of the Payers' Bill of Rights, they may file a claim with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), who is responsible for investigating such claims and informing that person of its determination on whether a violation has occurred and what actions it will take. This process would also pertain to any person who has no healthcare coverage and requested a written estimate from a hospital for healthcare services, procedures and supplies or requested information and/or an application for financial assistance or charity care and received no response from the hospital. See the Licensing and Certification Program to determine which CDPH location to contact (the local district office in the county where the hospital is located).
Effective January 1, 2006, AB 1045 requires each hospital to provide upon request a written estimate of the amount the hospital will require an uninsured person to pay for hospital services that are reasonably expected to be provided, based on average length of stay and services provided for the person's diagnosis. Estimates are not required for emergency services. Each hospital is also required to provide information about the hospital's financial assistance and charity care policies to uninsured patients, along with contact information for a hospital representative, to obtain more information about these policies.
In addition, AB 1045 adds the provision that a hospital may be liable for a $100 per day civil penalty if it does not file the required information to OSHPD.
Lastly, each hospital is required to provide a list of charges for 25 common outpatient procedures and an OSHPD-developed list of charges for common inpatient DRGs to any person upon request.
AB 1045 (Chapter 532, Statutes of 2005) revised the Payers' Bill of Rights, which were established by AB 1627 (Chapter 582, Statutes of 2003) and located in California Health and Safety Code 1339.50 to 1339.59. The replies to the following FAQs are based on our interpretation of the revised statutory requirements and/or the adopted regulations.
The purposes of this bill are to provide patients, health plans and healthcare purchasers with more information about charges for hospital care; and to discourage hospitals from establishing charges that adversely affect private payers and patients.
Beginning July 1, 2004, each hospital is required to make a written or electronic copy of its charge description master (chargemaster) available on location. A hospital may elect to have an electronic or written copy available or to post a copy on its Internet website. Hospitals designated as "small and rural" according to Section 124840 of the Health and Safety Code are exempt from this requirement.
Each hospital that is required to make its chargemaster available must also post a clear and conspicuous notice about its availability in its emergency department, admissions office, and billing office.
Also beginning July 1, 2004, each hospital was required to provide a copy of its list of 25 commonly charged services or procedures to any person upon request. The passage of AB 1045 repeals this requirement on December 31, 2005.
Beginning January 1, 2006, each hospital is now required to provide a list of charges for 25 common outpatient procedures and common inpatient procedures grouped my Medicare DRG. The DRG list is to be determined and provided by OSHPD to each hospital.
Also beginning January 1, 2006, each hospital is required to provide upon request a written estimate of the amount the hospital will require an uninsured person to pay for hospital services that are reasonably expected to be provided, based on average length of stay and services provided for the person's diagnosis. Estimates are not required for emergency services. Each hospital is also required to provide information about the hospital's financial assistance and charity care policies to uninsured patients, along with contact information for a hospital representative, to obtain more information about these policies.
A copy of its chargemaster.
A list of average charges for 25 common outpatient procedures.
The calculated estimate, along with supporting documentation, of the percentage change in gross revenue (charges) due to price changes. The gross revenue percentage estimate must be submitted along with the other two documents beginning July 1, 2006, and every July 1 thereafter. The reason for the one-year delay is because the estimate is to be based on the 12-month period beginning with the effective date of the last chargemaster filed with OSHPD.
AB 1045 modifies these requirements by replacing the list of 25 services or procedures commonly charged to patients with a list of charges for 25 common outpatients procedures.
The law does not provide OSHPD with the authority to grant an extension.
AB 1045 added the provision that a hospital may be liable for a $100 per day civil penalty if it does not file the required information to OSHPD.
Every general acute care hospital, psychiatric acute hospital, and special hospital licensed under Section 1250 (a), (b) and (f), respectively, is required to file these reports. Only health facilities licensed as a Chemical Dependency Recovery Hospital or Psychiatric Health Facility are exempt.
Hospitals that do not provide outpatient services are exempt from submitting the list of 25 common outpatient procedures. OSHPD will review submitted annual financial disclosure reports as confirmation.
Yes. All rural hospitals are required to submit the required pricing information to OSHPD. However, a hospital defined as "small and rural" according to Section 124840 of the Health and Safety Code is exempt from making a written or electronic copy of its chargemaster available at the hospital's location or posting a copy on the hospital's Internet website.
Yes. AB 1045 adds the provision that a hospital may be liable for a civil penalty of $100 per day if it does not file the required information to OSHPD.
Documents must be submitted by e-mail to a designated e-mail address or by mail on CD. Submission by e-mail is preferred.
Yes. File types are restricted in order to facilitate processing, handling, and analysis. Acceptable file types include Microsoft Excel (.xls) and Comma Separated Value (.csv).
Note: Hospitals using Microsoft Excel may submit all required items in a single file, as long as each item is placed in a separate worksheet tab.
Note: To help OSHPD keep track of submitted files, it is advisable that a cover letter accompany the submitted files, identifying by filename the contents of that file. Descriptive filenames would also help.
It would be preferable to submit multiple worksheets within a single file.
Yes to both questions. If files are too large to be sent as e-mail attachments, they may be zipped. If e-mail with attachments exceeds 10Mb, documents must be submitted on CD. Documents submitted on CD may also be zipped.
No. Hardcopy reports will not be accepted.
"Charge description master" means a uniform schedule of charges represented by the hospital as its gross billed charge for a given service or item, regardless of payer type.
Each hospital can choose which 25 outpatient procedures to include on its list. Reported items do not necessarily have to be the most common outpatient procedures. It is expected that a combination of ambulatory surgical procedures, outpatient diagnostic procedures, and outpatient therapeutic procedures will be reported.
There is not a specified report format, but it is expected that each procedure listed would include at least a description of the procedure and its related charge.
OSHPD has developed an Excel form for submitting the average charge for 25 common outpatient procedures. Use of the OSHPD form is voluntary, but encouraged. The form contains 50 common outpatient procedures, separated into sections according to CPT code classification. Hospitals must report the average charge for at least 25 procedures to comply with AB 1045, but may report charges for more than 25 procedures. To help hospitals meet the minimum 25 procedure requirement, the average charge for up to 10 unlisted procedures may be reported.
If a hospital location operating under a consolidated license has a different chargemaster than the other location(s) operating under that same license, it is expected that a separate chargemaster and set of documents would be filed for that hospital location. Additionally, it is expected that a separate list of 25 common outpatient procedures would be submitted.
Yes. All services that are provided under the hospital's general acute care license should be reported. If you are unable to combine the chargemasters into a single document, you may file them separately. If you are using Microsoft Excel, you may submit each chargemaster as a separate worksheet in the same document.
Each separately licensed hospital is required to file a separate chargemaster and set of documents to OSHPD. While the chargemaster could be the same for both facilities, you should delete any service, good, or procedure that is not provided at a particular hospital. Further, it is expected that the list of 25 outpatient procedures and the gross revenue percentage calculation would be different.
All items for which a charge is made are to be included in the chargemaster filed with OSHPD. This may require you to manually enter the average wholesale price plus mark-up for each item as of June 1. Submitting pharmaceutical items in a separate file is allowed; or if you are using Microsoft Excel, as a separate worksheet within the same file.
No. Chargemasters are to be submitted annually every July 1, beginning in 2005, even though it is acknowledged that they are frequently updated.
Yes, chargemasters and related pricing information are available on-line. Also available is a CD/DVD product that contains submitted documents for all hospitals for a reporting year.
Contact OSHPD's Healthcare Information Resource Center (HIRC) at (916) 326-3802 or E-mail: HIRC for more information.
The licensee operating the hospital on June 1 is responsible for meeting the July 1 chargemaster reporting requirements for that calendar year.
Each hospital is required to submit the prices in effect on June 1 for the chargemaster, the list of charges for 25 common outpatient procedures, and the calculated estimate of percentage change in gross revenue that are due on July 1.
OSHPD has developed a downloadable Excel pivot table called Statewide Benchmark Top 25 DRGs that meets this requirement using the patient-level data submitted by each hospital for each inpatient discharge. OSHPD will annually update this product.
It is recommended that you indicate why prices are not reported for each blank item, or else it may be assumed that there is no charge. Reasons can be included on the chargemaster or in a cover letter.
You can contact the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) at the local district office in the county where the hospital is located. Phone numbers for CDPH can be obtained on their Licensing and Certification Program.
Yes, According to the Payers' Bill of Rights, a hospital must provide a written estimate of the amount the hospital will require the patient to pay for healthcare services, procedures, and supplies that are reasonably expected to be provided to the patient by the hospital. A hospital must also provide information and/or applications about financial assistance or charity care to patients that requested an estimate and contact information for a hospital employee or office from which the patient can obtain the information. If a hospital does not comply with this provision, a patient may contact the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) at the local district office in the county where the hospital is located. Phone numbers for CDPH can be obtained on their Licensing and Certification Program.

Le port de Ningbo-Zhoushan est un port chinois, créé en 2006 par la réunion sous la même autorité des deux ports voisins de Ningbo et de Zhoushan. Il est situé dans la province du Zhejiang, sur la côte de la mer de Chine orientale, au sud de la baie de Hangzhou, face à Jiaxing et Shanghai.

L'autorité portuaire a annoncé un trafic conteneurs de 17,326 millions d'EVP en 2013 ( chinois et  mondial) et un trafic total de 399,250 millions de tonnes de marchandises, dont  de minerai de fer et  de pétrole brut. En 2014, la hausse du trafic conteneurs permet au port de Ningbo-Zhoushan de dépasser celui de Busan pour devenir le  du monde. En 2016, il devient le premier port mondial en volume de marchandises (plus de 900 millions de tonnes).
