Up your game with this amazing Queso Stuffed Homemade Pretzel Recipe that is packed with flavor!
For the Pretzels: Preheat the oven to 450°.
For the Queso: In a small pot on medium heat add in the chorizo and cook until all of the pink is gone, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Next, add in the cheeses and Ro*Tel® and cook over low heat until the cheese is melted. Immediately cool in the refrigerator.
In a standing mixer bowl add in the water, sugar, 1 tablespoon of salt and sprinkle on the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes or until it begins to foam.
Place on the hook attachment and pour in the butter and flour and knead the dough on high until it begins to pull away from the bowl, about 5 minutes.
Pour the vegetable oil into a bowl and place in the dough. Cover in plastic wrap and keep in a dry warm place for an hour or until the dough doubles in size.
Before it is time to form the dough, bring 1 cup of baking soda and 1 gallon of water to a boil in a large pot.
To form the dough, take a small piece and roll it into a bowl and then press it down with the palm of your hand on a cutting board to flatten it out.
Take a teaspoon of the chilled queso dip and put it in the center of the dough and wrap the dough from the outside in completely enclosing the queso dip and set aside. Repeat the process until the dough is gone.
Turn down the boiling water to a simmer and cook each pretzel dough 1 at a time for 30 seconds each and then place back on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Once all of the pretzels have been cooked in the baking soda solution, brush the tops with the egg wash and season heavily with Kosher salt.
Bake in the oven for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm!


Thank You, SharePoint Saturday Denver!
Blog Archive > Thank You, SharePoint Saturday Denver!
I just wanted to put out a quick post and thank everyone for a great SharePoint Saturday in Denver this weekend. Thanks to all the organizers of this year's event. Especially some of my buddies, Gary LaPointe, Shannon Bray, and Clay Cobb. You guys and the rest of the team put on one of the best SPS's yet. I was great getting to catch up with a lot of old friends and as always make a lot of new ones.
Thanks to everyone who attended my talks. I really appreciate the crowds in both my metadata and governance sessions. I had a lot great questions on some good discussions afterwards. Feedback is always very important to me, so if you have any comments, suggestions, or would just like to discuss some things a little bit further, don't hesitate to contact me or leave comments on here. As promised, I included the slides from both of my talks.
Lastly, I would like to thank Rackspace for once again stepping up and sponsoring the SharePint afterwards at the Tilted Kilt. If you are ever in the Denver area, I recommend checking out the place. Nothing I love more than a touch of Irish Pub with good friends.
Sorry to everyone for not being able to make it to Sunday's social event at Water World. I hope everyone has a great time.
So once again, I thank the folks at SPS Denver for having a great event and for all the attendees that help keep the SharePoint community in the industry forefront! I hope to see you all sometime in the future.

India ranks 77 in global bribery risk matrix
November 20, 2020 by Ground report
India is ranked 77th in the global list of trade bribery risks of 2020 with 45 points. Trade bribery risk is included in 194 countries, regions and autonomous and semi-autonomous regions in the list of anti-bribery standard setting organization TRACE.
According to this year's data, North Korea, Turkmenistan, South Sudan, Venezuela and Eritrea are the countries with the highest trade bribery risk, while Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden and New Zealand have the lowest. In the year 2019, India was ranked 78th with 48 points, while in 2020 it is 77th with 45 points.
India fared better than its neighbours – Pakistan, China, Nepal and Bangladesh. Bhutan, meanwhile, secured 48th rank with a score of 37, the data showed.
These points are based on four factors, including business negotiations with the government, bribery deterrence and enforcement, government and civil service transparency, and the role of the media, including civil organization monitoring capabilities. According to the data, India has performed better than its neighbors Pakistan, China, Nepal and Bangladesh.

However, Bhutan has secured 48th place with 37 points. The TRACE Bribury Risk Matrix said in a statement that China could improve its bureaucracy, possibly reducing public officials' opportunities to seek bribes.
Apart from India, Peru, Jordan, North Macedonia, Colombia and Montenegro have also got 45 points.
Somalia moved out of the bottom ranking, which it held from 2017 to 2019, and is now ranked 187th out of 194.
The TRACE Bribery Risk Matrix said it measures the likelihood of bribe demands in 194 jurisdictions. It was originally published in 2014 to meet a need in the business community for more reliable, nuanced information about the risks of commercial bribery worldwide.

This week, the MBS Spectrum Club organized Pride Week with a variety of theme days and activities celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.
Each day this week, students wore a different color to show support for members of the LGBTQ+ community. The week also included a variety of activities including: a game show at All-School Meeting, gender bread decorating, a student and faculty panel discussion, and a scavenger hunt.
On Friday, April 12th, the week culminated as members of the MBS community participated in the Day of Silence, in which students across the country vow to take a form of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning) bullying and harassment. MBS students and faculty participated by either wearing a bracelet to indicate their vow of silence for the day, or by wearing a sticker to show support without being silent.
On Friday evening from 5:30 to 8 p.m., members of the MBS community will gather in the lobby of Founders Hall with students from Delbarton and Kent Place for a "Night of Voices." This show of solidarity will feature a performance by the MBS Step Team and other student performers.


Spanning 1,200 kilometres across eight countries from the Mediterranean Sea in France to Slovenia, the Alps are a section of one of the greatest mountain range systems of Europe. Mont Blanc sits 4,810.45m above sea level between France and Italy and is a prominent feature of the beautiful mountains, rolling foothills, pristine lakes and flowing rivers that make up the French Alps.
While summertime invites hikers and bikers (with adequate lung capacity) to challenge the mountain range, the 200+ ski resorts that are interlinked and scattered throughout the Rhone and Provence Alps boast a winter playground of more than 600km of pistes and slopes that are the envy of any snow bunny or snow moose (which is apparently the male equivalent of a snow bunny… true story, Google it!).
Then (low and behold!) the passports turned up in the Saturday morning post, 24 hours after we were meant to fly out to France. However, the visas, which were to be delivered separately, were still on their way. I quickly contacted dad and let him know that there was a very slim chance that we would be on our way to meet up with them later in the week.
We counted down the days and dreamt of white powder snow, steaming hot chocolates and luxurious sauna steam rooms. Monday and Tuesday came and went and the package failed to show up in the post. After some investigation and ringing around, I found out that the package was being held by a courier company somewhere in North London.
Wednesday morning saw me drowning in phone calls and emails between the courier company and the UKBA attempting to obtain authorisation to collect the parcel in person that afternoon. Several hours later I was knocking on the door of the service centre and being handed our much awaited replacement visas. Then everything snowballed (excuse the pun) into a crazy night of conspiring with dad, buying snow boots, borrowing luggage, booking flights, organising transfers, and waking up at 3.30am for our early morning bus ride to the airport.
Tired and slightly frozen we arrived in Samoens and gave my mum the biggest surprise of her life as we surprised her at the local coffee shop for lunch.
The heavy snowfall didn't diminish Dan's spirits and he quickly took off with his snowboard to the slopes. On Friday he was joined by my aunt, uncle and cousins on the slopes for a day of exhausting snowboarding in the fresh powder that was, in some places, chest deep.
While I am fully recovered from my foot surgery, I was not keen to display my horrendous skiing skills on the fresh powder. Instead I spent very relaxing few days ice skating, wandering through the beautiful little town and just chilling with a hot cup of tea watching the large snowflakes fall continuously.
I have come to appreciate that holidays in the snow are not just for skiers or snowboarders. But sometimes it is hard to know what do you if you are at the snow and don't want to go gliding down the mountain in the powder.
1. Snowshoeing – think space-age, lightweight fiberglass, easy to use shoes. Not inverted tennis racquets of old times. If you are a keen hiker or passionate about wildlife, snowshoeing is a brilliant way to get out and enjoy nature and animal sightseeing (birds, deer, fox, rabbits, etc.). Snowshoes can be hired from most places that will rent you skiing and snowboarding equipment.
2. Sledding – Sledding is an ideal activity for kids of all ages, including those that like to think they are adults. Sledding is a simple winter sport (just you, a slope and a sled) that can be as safe or as thrilling as you make it. Some ski areas have designated areas for sledding, so make sure you do your research and know where and when you can sled.
3. Skating – Many resorts now have ice skating rink complete with rentals and lessons at reasonable prices. Skating is a fantastic day time alternative for non-skiers, families and kids. Some rinks will also offer night-time skating for families and as a romantic activity for couples.
4. Snowball fights – If you are looking for an easy way to take out any frustration or a good way to run out some pent up energy, start a snowball fight. A snowball fight is a very physical game where the aim is purely to throw snowballs at someone with the intent of hitting them. Throwingsnowballs at your companions can be lots of fun especially as there is minimal physical contact and there is (usually) no intention of serious bodily harm. Teams building forts and castles in the snow can escalate the merriment and bring out the child in anyone.
5. Snow Angels and Snowmen – There is nothing like rugging up and heading outside to burn a few calories in the snow by making snow angels and snowmen. Until recently I had never made a snowman before, and have only just learned that the technique is quite specific and exhausting. First you start out with a small ball of compact snow, then you simply roll it around and around in the soft powdery snow until it starts to grow. Occasionally you will have to pat it down to compact the snow further, but if you keep going you can roll a large ball for the base of a snowman in a matter of minutes. Then you just add more balls on top to enhance and shape your snowman before topping him (or her) with a hat, scarf and various grocery items to form a face and character. Loads of fun!
6. Spa day – If playing in the snow is not for you, then most ski resort will offer you the perfect alternative – a perfect excuse to relax and pamper yourself. Enjoy a massage, hot sauna or spa bath followed by a mulled wine (or cider) by the fire. Yes please!
7. Foot Print Tag – I haven't played this one myself, but it sounds like fun! Imagine playing tag, stepping only in others' footprints. This one will probably require speed and a lot of balance, the latter of which I struggle with on a normal day (as evidenced by the breaking of foot in Paris).
After a wonderful few snow filled days with mum, dad and the relatives, we caught a train to Lyon for a night at mum and dad's place. In Lyon, Dan and I enjoyed a wonderful day at the free local zoo and had a scrumptious dinner of Tartar de Boeuf at our favourite Cousin Cousine, just downstairs from mum and dad's apartment. This was a meal that I had been craving since the last time we left Lyon in August.
Our time in Lyon was amazing, and I was finally able to walk down the cobblestone streets without the assistance (or hindrance) of my crutches! As always, our time away was too short and Sunday night saw us returning to London just in time to start a busy work week and some more fun in the London snow!

World Turns A Blind Eye As Myanmar Army Kills Rohingya Muslims At Will
(Photo: Reuters)
By Editors
Carbonated.tv
The complicity of security forces could embolden Buddhist extremists and bolster the anti-Rohingya Muslim campaign, thereby causing state-sanctioned bloodshed.
Around 80,000 Rohingya Muslims in northwestern Myanmar cannot receive humanitarian aid by the U.N.'s World Food Program due to a severe military clampdown.
However, disruption of food aid is just one of the many grave abuses, including extra-judicial killings and rape, being carried out against the embattled ethnic community in the Southeast Asian nation.
The situation for the Rohingya people went from bad to worse after nine Burmese police officers were killed on Oct. 9 in three separate attacks, targeting border guard outposts in the Rakhine (aka Arakan) state, near the Myanmar-Bangladesh border.
The attacks, according to Myanmar's Ministry of Information, were carried out by Aqa Mul Mujahidin, a militant group purportedly trained by Taliban in Pakistan.
While the Burmese government declared Aqa Mul Mujahidin, a non-local group, the mastermind behind the Oct. 9 events, it also accused members of the local community of aiding them, without providing concrete evidence, whatsoever. (FYI: Rakhine is home to about 1.1 million members of the mostly Muslim Rohingya.)
Even more puzzling is the fact that the government named the Rohingya Solidarity Organization complicit in the attacks. But the said militant group is believed to have been operationally defunct for years, maybe even decades.
Despite the lack of sufficient proof against possible Rohingya involvement, Myanmar's military launched an operation, indiscriminately targeting the Rohingya community.
As per the latest numbers reported by independent news organizations, the army has killed at least 100 Rohingya civilians, including men, women and children, in just two weeks — again, all based on mere speculation.
Meanwhile, state media figures differ greatly, stating "no more than 33 people" have been killed at the hands of security forces during the crackdown.
The Rohingya people claim the military is using the border attacks as an excuse to further persecute the already-beleaguered, stateless community.
Chris Lewa of the Arakan Project, a human rights group based in Asia, said the army is implementing "typical counter-insurgency measures against civilians," such as "shooting civilians on sight, burning homes, looting property and arbitrary arrests."
So far, the Rohingya in Myanmar were largely under attack from extremist Buddhists as well as the government's deafening silence. However, the purported involvement of the country's security forces signals an even worse time for a community that's been persecuted for decades.
It's not like the Myanmar military's role in repressing the Rohingya people is totally unheard of. In 2014, the Women's League of Burma alleged Burmese soldiers were raping Rohingya women to "demoralize and destroy the fabric of ethnic [minority] communities."
Still, the security forces partaking in hostilities against the Rohingya could embolden Buddhist extremists and bolster their hate campaign, thereby causing state-sanctioned bloodshed.
The latest bout of unrest comes only a month after Myanmar's de facto leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi oversaw a special nine-member panel to address the Rohingya crisis.
It was a small but much-needed step taken by any Burmese administration in years to find a solution to resolve the conflict between the Buddhist majority and the Muslim minority group.
However, considering the violent and extra-judicial force the military is using against the Rohingya people, it is difficult to believe a resolution is possible anytime soon.

As the Citizens Electoral Council has exposed, the Australian government's extensive police-state powers, which last week were used to raid journalists, are intended not to protect people from terrorism, but to protect the establishment from the people. This is especially true in times when worsening economic conditions drive an anti-establishment backlash.
The reason there is a danger of an anti-establishment backlash is that the ever-arrogant establishment always rigs the system in its favour. In times of economic crisis, the public wises up to this fact. For an example in Australia, look no further than the government ministers in charge of the financial system, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Assistant Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and Financial Technology Senator Jane Hume, both ex-Deutsche Bank executives.
Australia's bankers have just come through one of the most damaging episodes in their history. The Hayne royal commission exposed the banks as vast criminal enterprises, just like the banks in Wall Street and the City of London etc., except until the royal commission Australia's banks were supposed to have been the best in the world. The Rudd-Gillard-Rudd-Abbott-Turnbull governments had always said they were the best, and for years denied there was any need for an inquiry. When growing public unrest forced an inquiry, their denials were exposed as lies, and for once, the banks faced real justice.
But they didn't get it. Not only did the banks rig the royal commission from the beginning by writing the terms of reference themselves, which ensured a very weak final report, but they have rigged the response to the royal commission. While Commissioner Hayne scowled as he handed over his report, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg beamed, as if he already knew its contents, which he probably did, given that Treasury's hand-picked secretariat actually wrote the report. Three days later, the banks exploded in celebration, their share prices soaring on the news that Hayne hadn't recommended breaking them up. Senator Pauline Hanson nevertheless introduced the CEC's Separation of Banks bill a week later, but the banks already had their safeguard in place�the Senator for bankers, Jane Hume. As chair of the Senate Economics Legislation Committee, Hume oversees the review of all legislation that affects Australia's banks. For instance, she had chaired the 2017-18 inquiry into crisis resolution powers for the bank regulator APRA to be able to "bail in" bonds and deposits to prop up failing banks, to rubber-stamp it before it was sneaked through the Senate on Valentine's Day 2018. She likewise protected the banks from a proper inquiry into structural separation, by suppressing almost 1,000 submissions, and turning the inquiry into a farce by continuing it over the election campaign in which she was also campaigning for re-election.
The bankers are therefore gleeful they have two of their own in these positions. John Kehoe reported in the 28 May Australian Financial Review: "When Scott Morrison unveiled his new ministry this week, there was private gratitude among finance executives that former banker Jane Hume would be the new Assistant Minister for Superannuation, Financial Services and Financial Technology. After years of bank bashing in Canberra, it is ironic a former finance executive has risen to the role. � The Victorian Senator will assist fellow Melburnian, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, [to] implement the Coalition's response to the banking royal commission and the Productivity Commission's superannuation report."
Bialystock and Bloom
Of course the bankers love Frydenberg and Hume in these positions, willing to do their bidding; but all other Australians should be worried. From an objective look at their credentials, they may as well be Bialystock and Bloom from The Producers�incompetent scam artists who should be kept as far away from Australia's financial system as possible.
That is because of their connection to Deutsche Bank�Frydenberg as a former Director and Hume as a former Vice President. It is alarming that the ministers in charge of Australia's financial system are both from the biggest financial basket-case in the world!
Deutsche Bank is a financial disaster due to its decades betting as a high-roller in the global financial casino, racking up tens of trillions in derivatives gambling debts (now US$49 trillion). As it was riding high it absorbed some of the most reckless financial operations in the world, including other banks such as Bankers Trust, a pioneer of high-risk derivatives gambling, and various hedge funds, and was up to its neck in the illegal market-rigging that has come to light in recent years.
Deutsche Bank's addiction to financial gambling has left it floundering following the 2008 crash. Its share price has collapsed from �109 in May 2007 to �6.13 today, and the bank is now on death watch. Experts predict that if the share price falls to �5.70, Deutsche bank will implode, and potentially trigger a global meltdown. Since 2016, the IMF has warned that it is "the most important net contributor to systemic risks", and it is viewed around the world as the most likely candidate to trigger the next episode of Lehman Brothers-style global contagion, except with 20 times more leverage than Lehman.
All global megabanks have dived into financial gambling in recent decades, but it takes some doing to be far and away the worst. Deutsche Bank was once a powerful German industrial bank, but it rushed headlong into securities trading following its merger with London investment bank Morgan Grenfell and then Bankers Trust; recently Deutsche Bank's management acknowledged their problems originated with their adoption of Anglo-American banking methods, meaning speculation.
This was the wild casino high-roller that Frydenberg and Hume worked for! They epitomise the speculative culture that is a cancer in the financial system, threatening the financial security of all Australians. When Australians demand Glass-Steagall bank separation, to protect deposits by ensuring commercial banks can't gamble with them, these two do everything in their power to block it not just because they do the banks' bidding, but because they are conditioned to accept financial recklessness as normal, dangers be damned. After all, bankers like them never carry the can�that's what bail-in is for!
That's the danger Australians now face�a banking system allowed by these two Deutsche Bank dunces to gamble itself into financial oblivion, and the bail-in of our savings when it happens. To stop it, click the button Read More to join the CEC's fight!

When the Ukrainian band Brunettes Shoot Blondes came across a vintage broken piano, they decided to transform it into a unique and completely analog hybrid of 20 different instruments that are each connected and controlled by the piano keys. The band prominently featured this wonderful instrument in the music video for their song �Houston�.
Hillary Clinton goes to a gifted-student primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time.
One little boy puts up his hand. Hillary asks him what his name is. "Kenneth," he says.
"And what is your question, Kenneth?" she asks.
"I have three questions," he says. "First -- whatever happened in Benghazi? "Second -- why would you run for president if you are not capable of handling two e-mail accounts? "And, third -- whatever happened to the missing six billion dollars while you were Secretary of State?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.
When they resume Hillary says, "Okay, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"
A different boy -- little Johnny -- puts his hand up.
Hillary points to him and asks him what his name is. "Johnny," he says.
"And what is your question, Johnny?" she asks.
"I have five questions," he says.
"First -- whatever happened in Benghazi? "Second -- why would you run for president if you are not capable of handling two e-mail accounts? "Third -- whatever happened to the missing six billion dollars while you were Secretary of State? "Fourth -- why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? "And, fifth -- where's Kenneth?"
(IMHO Johnny should not be at a school for the gifted and talented. In fact, he is not that bright, after seeing what happened to Kenneth!)
He Just Can't
I don't normally post my health tips in this newsletter, those of you who get both know that they are Monday content. (If you want that newsletter too, drop me a line.) But this came today and can't wait till next Monday. The Human Longevity Project starts tomorrow. I saw it last year. It is EXCELLENT! So good, in fact, that I bought the DVDs.
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!

Any Isekai Recommendations Where the Guy Isn't a Loser in the Original World?
I love isekai but sometimes it's hard to get through the first few episodes or awkwardness of the guy. It seems like every isekai is about a guy who is a NEET and hasn't talked to someone in 10 years.
I've been watching a lot of Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu for everything except the main character and it's made me miss MC's like Lelouch who have confidence. Are there any isekai that have a confident MC?


In the United States, ASCE 7-10 is an key part of the building code. It focuses on the requirements for general structural design, as well as providing a means for determining loads (dead, live, soil, flood, snow, rain, ice, earthquake, wind) and their combinations.
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) involves seven basic load combination equations.
This article will focus on how SkyCiv's auto generated load combinations feature meets the load combination equations as specified in ASCE 7-10 LRFD.
1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lrr or S or R) Eq. 2.3.2.2 1.2G + 1.6QL + 0.5QS The load type "Snow" is sub-categorized into "snow", "roof live", and "rain". Selecting this load combination will automatically create 3 load combination equations due to the use of "or" in the equation specification.
1.2G + 1.6QS + 0.5QW Due to the presence of "or" in two places of this load combination, this generates 6 load equations. SkyCiv has separated this into two load combinations (for the L or 0.5W options) which generates 3 load equations each.
1.2D + 1.0W + L + 0.5(Lr or S or R) Eq. 2.3.2.4 1.2G + QW + QL + 0.5QS The load type "Snow" is sub-categorized into "snow", "roof live", and "rain". Selecting this load combination will automatically create 3 load combination equations due to the use of "or" in the equation specification.
The results from the datasheet are shown below.


I am using the EZX10RF to link x10 codes from my alarm system to insteon. I am only using the nodes generated in ISY for program use, I have no other scenes linked.
My alarm interface is plugged directly into the EZX10RF, just because it was a convenient way to know it was on the same leg. I am using x10 addresses O1, O2, and O3.
What I am seeing on the isy event window is, at times, the EZX10RF will repeat the previous address, sometimes over and over. If, for example, I send send O2, it may translate correctly, but if I then send a O3, it will translate to an O2 node. And for several other triggers of O3, the node O2 will keep being sent. It will happen on any combination of addresses, not just the O2/O3 combination.
Are you using the EZX10RF to just tranceive the alarms X10 RF signal to the other phase or are you using it to map an X10 command to an Insteon link?
The alarm is sending an RF X10 signal and not a power line one correct?
The X10 traffic is necessary to evaluate what is happening. The initial node 5 On is generated after the two X10 message segments; D9 followed by D9/On. As before although the ISY labels the second segment as D9/On the actual X10 second segment is only D/On. After the first D/On and the subsequent Insteon messages for Group 5 On from the EZX10RF, I sent a second D/On only (no D/9 message segment) and the EZX10RF sent the next set of Insteon Group 5 On Insteon messages.
This is the second X10 D/On alone which also triggers a set of node 5 On Insteon messages.
Note that the above X10 message segment 02 52 A2 80 is labeled D10/On even though it is the same as the 02 52 A2 80 in the first sample which is labeled D9/On. The Unit number 9 is what the ISY assumes from the last X10 House/Unit code received for D9 or D10. It is the A2 80 (D/On) which triggers the EZX10RF and which node is determined by the last house/ unit segment even though the house/unit segment was sent several powerline commands back.
Move the EZX10RF and alarm connection to the same 120V leg as the ISY PLM or put the coupler back. An extension cord can be used to get the EZX10RF and alarm connection to the ISY PLM plug point. The X10 messages are in the UDI forum post which I take to indicate the coupler was in place when those event messages were generated ??
The EZX10RF works with both X10 RF and X10 powerline messages. Either X10 message source will trigger an Insteon On/Off message for the associated Group number. The ISY Event traces I've posted on both the ISY forum in getting the EZX10RF defined and this topic were generated from my MAXI controller so I could separate in time the House/Unit message from the House/Command message. The House/Command message triggers the generation of the Insteon Group On/Off message, the House/Unit message that preceded it way back when controls which Group is triggered. I think the X10 message segments from the alarm system are coming in a sequence such that the wrong Group number is being triggered. At least that is the working theory until we can see the X10 messages in the ISY Event Viewer. That should provide the definitive answer.
Thanks for keeping an eye on the forum and your responses. They are always helpful and appreciated.
Thanks Lee. I was not aware of the fact the EZX10RF could also take a power line X10 signal and trigger an Insteon On and Off event.
I wounder if the X10 signals are being sent with out checking the line for traffic. I know some X10 devices are not polite at all and will gladly step on power line signals.
That is a distinct possibility. Insteon devices are good at not stepping on each other. X10 is not. The fact that Insteon traffic is being generated by the X10 messages may not be anticipated by the alarm system. Without any ACK built in a House/Unit message could be getting lost in the powerline traffic. This would cause the next House/Command message to trigger the wrong Group.
Well, some interesting results. Finally got things where, at least temporarily, the isy is also seeing the x10 part of things. The layout of my house, has always created a nasty situation for x10 without a bunch of boosters, and couplers both of which I gave away too soon not thinking of my alarm system. Worse come to worse, I can add relays to the alarm and use an EXIO6I. The alarm is definitely sending x10 twice, no way to stop that.
I should have reprogrammed the EZX10RF to keep numbers the same, but then that would have been to logical….
Following is a basic log, which shows the wrong response. However when I did a detail log, I cannot duplicate the results, at least not yet.
The X10 messages are coming in the middle of the EZX10RF Group messages. An Insteon Group protocol consists of two Insteon messages. The first is a Group Broadcast message followed by a Group Cleanup message to each linked Responder, with the Responder (ISY PLM in this case) sending an ACK back to the EZX10RF for the Group Cleanup message. There is an X10 message occurring between the Group Broadcast and the Group Cleanup. That in and of itself is not an issue but the timing is such that the X10 message could easily get lost since it goes on the powerline in the blind (no ACK) and apparently without concern for anything else that is on the powerline at the time. In the detail trace there is a case where Group Cleanup was retried (two Group Cleanup messages) which suggests the timing between the EZX10RF writing the two Group messages and the alarm system putting out X10 messages are in conflict. Also the fact that the slight timing difference between the level 1 event trace and the level 3 event trace producing different results also suggests a timing issue between the Insteon messages being generated and the X10 message traffic.
Is there any way to create a delay in the X10 traffic coming from the alarm system so that they cannot overlap the Insteon message activity? Likely the alarm system is putting out multiple X10 messages to try and improve the reliability of X10, not anticipating the fact that the first X10 message would result in powerline traffic.
There is no means of changing the timing between the Group Broadcast and the Group Cleanup messages. The EZX10RF hands a Group On request to the internal PLM which then does all the processing to put the Insteon Group messages on the powerline and handle any needed retries. Insteon protocol is taking care of any issues that the overlapping X10 is causing Insteon but the alarm system has no way of knowing the X10 messages may be what is being lost.
Was afraid that was where we might be heading. There is no way to adjust the alarm system, by "design", I'm sure reliability, it puts the codes out twice. In the old days of the "Time Commander" I always had to program a delay before responding.
Time to move ahead with "plan b".

ICLRD Sixth Annual Conference: Doing More with Less – Challenge and /or Opportunity?


We're going to talk about math and relate some numbers to the health of your business. OK FREEZE. DO NOT CLOSE THIS POST AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ARTICLE …I know that this may be intimidating for some, but I promise to make it painless. Stick with me while I lay out a few key metrics that should roll off your tongue as quickly as your Deadlift PR.
SESSIONS PER MONTH/WEEK: How many sessions to do need monthly to hit your financial goals?
MONTH - Most of us pay bills monthly. Performing a certain number of sessions per month insures that you're covering your bills and making a profit.
NEW LEADS - Are you keeping track of how many potential clients you come in contact with and where they come from?
LEADS TO TRIAL OFFER - Of those potential clients, how many actually take you up on a sample session or free consult?
CLOSING RATE (TRY TO BUY) - How many purchase a package and start to train with you?
QUARTERLY REVENUE - Check your profits or losses each business quarter. The nature of the training business cycle lends to different goals throughout the year. Checking in quarterly will allow you to evaluate what worked or didn't in the last three months, plan for the months ahead and set realistic goals based on the business cycle.
Still with me? Awesome! Let's dive in a little deeper.
Here's where we talk goals and targets.
The first number we need is a personal one, but it's probably the most important. How much money are you spending each month? You need to be sure you're bringing in more cash than what's going out. Don't forget to set aside some cash for paying taxes and to factor in a contribution to your savings account and/or retirement fund.
Once you figure out how much you need/like to make each month, you divide that by your session rate to figure out how many sessions you need to perform.
Let's look at a quick example. Let's say your financial target was $3,500 for the month. Factoring in taxes at 40%*, you would need to make about $1,225 per week. If you charge $110 per session, then you would need to do a minimum of 45 sessions per month, or 11-12 sessions per week to come up with the funds. Click HERE to download my Monthly Expense Planning Sheet with built in formulas.
*It's best if you consult an accountant to get a guestimate on how much you should be saving for taxes. In my experience, it's always better to aim high and save more than Uncle Sam asks for!
Hopefully you're hitting that last metric out of the park and you are already doing more sessions than you need. If not, then it's time to find a client or two. Where do you start? If you've kept track of some of your marketing stats, you'll know exactly where to begin. If not, then there's no time like the present to start keeping track!
Start casting your net. Pick 3-5 lead generators to focus on. Keep tally of how many leads you get from each and how much time you spent executing (as shown in the example at the end of the article). Note which gives you the most bang for your buck in quantity AND quality. Keep what works and ditch what wastes your time.
Turn those leads to clients! Of those new leads you generated, how many sign up for a free consultation or assessment appointment? We'll call them "hot leads." That's the first number that's important to us - Part One. As for Part Two, your closing rate, how many hot leads turn into paying clients who start a training program?
You made it through the math, but why did I put you through that torture? Mind you, I have a degree in Applied Math and Statistics and even I think crunching numbers is a bore. One thing my degree taught me is that data is meaningless unless you analyze it and learn something. As I wrote in my original post for PTontheNet, having an open mind here is key. I know sometimes ignorance is bliss and it's scary to reflect. You may be feeling the same way a scale-phobic client does on reassessment day, but do it anyway.
You need to use these metrics to figure out where you're succeeding and where you're falling short. If you find that your marketing methods aren't generating enough leads, then reevaluate that process and try something new. Are you converting those leads to potential clients who take you up on complimentary sample services? No? Then something's missing from your offer or you're doing something to scare them off before you build rapport. Maybe you're enticing plenty of people when it's free, but no one is actually buying? Then you may not be conveying value or focusing enough on your sales process. Are you practicing your complimentary session and rehearsing your professional recommendations? You should be if the numbers indicate that's where you need work!
This is all a numbers game. The more leads you generate, the more clients you'll have no matter what your conversion rates are. A 35-40% conversion rate from lead to paying client is considered average. That means that more than half of the new leads you generate may not materialize into actual clients… AND THAT'S OK - especially if you're just starting out. Don't be afraid to check out the stats. You're going to get rejected. Not every client is the right match for your service. However, don't use that as an excuse to keep your same old tired process that isn't working. ALWAYS try to improve and fine tune your approach. Just like cleaning up a sloppy diet, don't try to improve every step of the process all at once. Pick one area and make that you're main focus. Checking in quarterly is a perfect way to keep on track. Schedule time in your calendar to review and plan, because otherwise, it won't get done as you already read in my last post.
HOW ABOUT AN EXAMPLE - What's an article about math without a sample problem?
Each month you keep track of your leads and conversion rates, as shown below. Here is last month's stats. Analyze.
Would you keep lead generator #2? Why or why not?
Seems like lead generator #1 gave you QUANTITY and lead generator #3 gave you QUALITY. Agree or disagree? Would you keep both in play next month?
If you were looking to improve your process, where would you start?
Let's discuss - include your answer in the comments below or feel free to contact me directly!

Latin America Upper-middle-income countries
The last of GNHE's country assessments was published today. Written by Pablo Slon, it examines the progress of Costa Rica towards universal health coverage.
As Pablo Slon writes, one of the main features of the Costa Rican health system is the existence of a single health insurance fund, just as in the United Kingdom, France and Canada. Prepayment is mandatory for the whole working population and employers, and health insurance coverage in 2011 was 86%. Health services are provided mainly by this health insurance fund, with the coexistence of private sector provision. Health services are free at the point of access.
There is equal access to public health services because there is high coverage in terms of provision. There is also equality of financial risk protection.. The factors explaining these achievements include various institutional factors and health system characteristics.
One of the explanatory factors is the fact that Costa Rica 'started small' with an early political agreement to develop a Bismarck-style insurance system for the working class. A gradual process of including progressively more groups into this insurance system played a major role.
The existence of a tripartite financing scheme – involving employers, employees and the state in contributing to a common fund – creates cross-subsidies that allow access to health care across different population groups. Having a single risk pool is also a key factor. The existence of a private sector that complements the public sector allows those who do not want to use public services to reduce the demand on the public system. Last, but not least, low income-inequality and poverty within the country helps to reduce economic barriers to accessing health services. Democratic institutions and the rule of law support the performance of the health system through accountability, supervision, law enforcement and regulation.
However, the fact that the public health insurance fund is the main revenue collector, purchaser and provider creates some conflict of interests from the perspective of regulation. This is because the lack of separation of functions weakens the allocation process and oversight of performance. It also gives the fund enormous economic and political power, constraining the stewardship role that should be played by the Ministry of Health.
A future challenge is to ensure the financial sustainability of the National Health System in the face of demographic changes, with the proportion of elderly people growing. There is also an epidemiological challenge because chronic diseases are becoming more prevalent. Finally, there is a portion (14%) of the population that is not insured. Although they can access care if they require services, they have to pay fees for these services, which can impoverish them as they could incur into catastrophic expenditures. An additional problem is that this segment of the population mainly accesses emergency services, and they are not able to get appointments for outpatient services. Insuring this remaining portion of the population and charging for services properly after they have been used are important challenges.
Finally, more data are needed to understand whether the Costa Rican health care system is closing the gap between health care needs and health care provision, especially across all socio-economic groups. There are some indications that there are remaining differentials in actual and perceived health status across different income quintiles, and that waiting lists prevent some patients receiving prompt attention.

This website presents assessments of the extent to which countries and other territories have progressed towards universal health coverage (UHC).
The template, in turn, was based on an early version of McIntyre D, Kutzin J. 2016. Health financing country diagnostic: a foundation for national strategy development. Geneva: World Health Organisation.
Check out the final version of this document here.
If you missed our posts last year, remember to read GNHE's perspective on practical approaches countries can take to measuring their progress towards UHC.
A summary of key messages on this topic is available here.
Two policy briefs that provide more details on how to measure progress towards access and financial risk protection, respectively, are available here.
With the inclusion of universal health coverage (UHC) in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is considerable discussion on how best to measure progress to UHC. This note summarises the perspective of the Global Network for Health Equity (GNHE), a network that brings together the views and experience of a diverse network of researchers based at country level in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Our concern is with UHC as defined according to outcomes, namely access to needed health services of sufficient quality to be effective, and financial risk protection for all. Within this context, measurement of these outcomes must be independent of the structure of financing and provision in a health system.
In order to allow comparison across all countries irrespective of their income level, UHC measures must use data that are likely to be available across a diverse range of health systems, or for which there are reasonable substitutes.
GNHE supports the use of a small number of key indicators rather than a single composite UHC indicator, which obscures the multi-dimensionality of UHC as a concept. However, indicators of the two key elements of UHC should be assessed and interpreted together.
Monitoring of progress towards UHC should not only be measured in terms of each indicator's overall average, but also the narrowing of differentials across socio-economic groups to take account of equity.
UHC goal of access to health services for all
Due to the complexity of measuring access directly, we propose measuring actual use of services.
Instead of focusing on a few services (such as antenatal care and immunisations), GNHE proposes assessing the adequacy and equity of overall service utilisation.
We recommend a minimum average utilisation rate of 4 outpatient visits per person per year; utilisation rates below this threshold suggest that a country is unlikely to have adequate access to services.
For inpatient services, a minimum threshold of 100 inpatient discharges per 1,000 population per year is recommended.
To assess equity, these minimum thresholds should be achieved in all socio-economic groups. Given that service utilisation should be according to need, the difficulty of accurately measuring need for health care and the generally greater burden of ill health among lower-income groups, utilisation rates should be at least equal across socio-economic groups.
Further work is required to develop an appropriate means of assessing quality and effectiveness of services used.
UHC goal of financial risk protection
Indicators of catastrophic levels of out-of-pocket health expenditure and impoverishment from making out-of-pocket payments for health services should be used to assess financial risk protection.
Constraints on currently available data limit refinements to these existing measures. Priorities for improved data collection and future refinement of these measures include:
Including all direct costs related to using health services when needed (e.g. costs of transport to the health care provider) and possibly also health insurance contributions
Developing a common methodology to measure country-specific basic needs' thresholds for use in impoverishment analyses instead of the global, minimalistic poverty lines (e.g. $1 per day)
It is important to recognise that these measures only reflect the proportion of the population who actually use health services and are impoverished or face financial catastrophe as a result. They do not take account of those who do not use health services due to a lack of financial resources. It is for this reason that measures of financial risk protection must be assessed together with measures of service utilisation; where utilisation rates are below the minimum threshold, this is likely to reflect the existence of unmet need.
Ramiro Guerrero, and others from the Centro de Estudios en Protección Social y Economía de la Salud in Colombia, wrote an assessment of their country's progress towards universal health coverage for GNHE.
Colombia has made big efforts to fulfil the goal of universal health coverage:
since 2000, health expenditure as a percentage of GDP has been around 6.8%
government health expenditure as a percentage of total health expenditure is almost 80%
in 2010 all health system financial sources were progressive, meaning that higher-income individuals contributed relatively more towards the health system
in 2013 the contributory and subsidised regimes covered approximately 96% of Colombia's population, and more than half the population was completely subsidised
there is a common mandatory benefit package
The Colombian health system has two major health insurance schemes:
the contributory regime is mandatory for formal workers and other people with the capacity to pay
the subsidised regime is for the unemployed, informal sector workers and the poor
The structure of the health system pools all resources into a common fund that is distributed on a risk-adjusted, capitation basis to a range of public and private health maintenance organisations. People are allowed to choose their health maintenance organisation, and health maintenance organisations are able to choose the providers with which they contract.
However, 4.6% of households in 2010 incurred catastrophic expenditure (measured using a 40% threshold of non-food household expenditure). Although this was an improvement from 2008, the intensity of catastrophic expenditures is still concentrated in low-income people. Data also suggest that the households that became poor after a financial shock were predominantly those in the subsidized regime and the uninsured.
In summary, Colombia has made important progress towards universal health coverage but attention still needs to be paid to the differences in access to health care for those with lower incomes and living in rural areas.
