Report: Medicare reform law lacks guidance for nursing homes' pharmaceutical practices
The new Medicare prescription drug legislation lacks specific language on how it will affect nursing home pharmaceutical practices, according to a new report for the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Part D of the 2003 Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act was designed to lower drug costs for most Medicare participants. However, according to the report, the legislation does not detail how the new law will coordinate with the practices of long-term care facilities when it is implemented in 2006.
Nursing homes typically obtain the drugs for their patients from large "institutional" pharmacies that specialize in providing for long-term care facilities. Instead, the legislation asks for a study to be performed and presented to Congress.
The information marketing Part D, including the hotline, Web site and brochure, are inadequate materials for the 65-and-over set to use to make decisions about which specific programs they should use, the report says.
The report calls for the address of these issues, as well as assessing cost-sharing amounts for residents who are not dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and ensuring that beneficiaries who pay for drugs as part of their nursing home stay get credit towards their out-of-pocket limit.

SOURCE: paper jam problem in pixma mp145. E3 error.
MP160 PIXMA paper feed jam E3 error. I completely solved this on my Canon MP160 printer but it is a common problem and the fix may work for others such as MP130 MP140 MP145 MP150 MP170 or MP180. With the problem I had, the printer would make the usual motor whirring noises but would not feed the paper. The usual c-clunk sound that indicated the feed roller has been engaged was not there. The screen warning said to remove jammed paper and the printer showed an E3 error.
The problem was caused by the ink cartridge carrier becoming stcky on its track and not fully returning to the rest position on the right side (as viewed from the front). The fix involved taking the printer apart and lubricating the cartridge carrier track and the ramps that lift the cradle that rises to cover the printheads. Unfortunately you have to dismantle the printer and separate the scanner unit to get to the lubrication points. Its not a quick fix.
When you have the printer apart you will see a prominent white lever held by a coiled spring just behind the rest position of the ink cartridge carrier. The lever is actuated by the ink cartridge carrier when it moves to the right. If the lever is not actuated, the motor drive will never engage the large grey feed roller and the paper in the hopper cannot be fed into the printer. Make sure to also put some lube onto the lever at the point where it is struck by the ink cartridge carrier.

SOURCE: paper jam (e3) BUT no paper jam
make sure you open all check points, if yours has a rear feed through, look in there also. it only takes a tiny piece of paper to cause it to say that. use a flash light, have had to use one to find several that way.

Senior: Drisana
I've acquired clients from many sections of my life (work, friends, etc.) but this was the first time my Boston Terrier, Scout, had gotten me a job. Scout was our first Boston Terrier and less than a year old when we met Jessica and her Boston Terrier, Dexter, at the Amazon Small Dog Park. Scout and Dexter instantly got along as they both have tons of energy and like to run. I feel that "run" isn't even the best way to describe it. Scout will literally sprint, mouth open, tongue flying wildly in the wind, making a giant circle while all the other dogs attempt to keep up. We soon learned, other Bostons liked to do the same thing and decided to start our own club for Bostons and their owners. It's pretty simple, we share photos, ask questions, and mention when we are going to the dog park on our group page. It's an easy way for us new Boston Terrier owners to stay connected and get together and now we have 66 human members and a few less in Boston Terriers and Boston mixes! All because Jessica and I met at the dog park on a cloudy, Eugene day.
So when Jessica asked me about taking her daughter's senior photos, I was thrilled! Senior photos are such a fun, unique photo session because the focus is on just one person and who they are at a significant milestone in their life. It is especially important to capture and reveal this individual personality in a frozen moment which can be more difficult than it sounds. Drisana knew exactly what she wanted but was also open to suggestion which was really refreshing. Most folks are uncomfortable in front of the lens but she was confident and had a killer outfit (that hat had a personality of it's own).
I also discovered a new location thanks to this shoot, Jessica and Drisana chose Hendrick's Park for the setting it was perfect! I hope to do more senior sessions AND sessions at Hendrick's Park in the future.
Here are some of my favorite shots of Drisana:

Syndicating content via RSS is similar to, but not the same as, building normal web pages. Because of this, the parsing of information collected is very similar to our "build your own" web measurement application, using a similar architecture. However, because RSS is designed to be presented in any number of applications and environments, the reporting is slightly different (but no less interesting).
Assuming you've already read how to collect data from within RSS feeds [Hack #12] , you should have an RSS logfile. To learn anything meaningful from RSS.log, you need to parse the file and generate human-readable reports.

Ive always used crop sensor DSLRs but Ive never really looked in Full Frame. I am going to look at a 7D this week but I am wondering if i should hold out and see if I cant snag a used full frame.
Is there much of a difference in image quality? is it really worth it?
I mostly like to shoot wildlife, landscapes, and the odd portrait.

RIA Novosti proudly announced that as a result of negotiations of prime ministers of Russia and Fiji they have signed a contract to supply naval equipment, as well as weapons and machines for the army of Fiji. However, Medvedev said "it is hard to estimate the possible volume of supplies". We will help him.
It's too bad Dmitry Medvedev didn't do his homework and look (even briefly) into some information about military forces of the Republic of Fiji.
The armed forces of the Republic of Fiji have 3,500 regular troops and 6,000 in reserve. This is one of the smallest armies in the world.
The Navy contains 300 people. The fleet consists of:
- 3 Pacific class patrol boats (displacement 162 tons, crew 17 man)
- 2 patrol boats (displacement 97 tons, crew 11 man)
- 4 Dabur class patrol boats (displacement 39 tons, crew 9 man)
Total 9 patrol boats with displacement 836 tons combined.
Displacement of a Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser (22 of which are in service in the US Navy) is 9800 tonnes. Displacement of a Arleigh Burke-class destroyer (62 of which are in service in the US Navy) is ranging between 6,600 to 9,600 tons.
Now you can imagine "the possible volume of supplies" which Medvedev has found hard to estimate.

A Seattle housing developer is bringing something new to Richland's Columbia Point — high end apartments.
Evergreen Housing Development Group is preparing to break ground on a 94-unit, three-building complex after securing building permits earlier this month.
The complex will be the neighborhood's first professionally managed apartment project.
The property is the last major undeveloped parcel at Columbia Point, a sliver of land nestled along the Columbia River to the north of Interstate 182.
A 94-unit, three-building complex is being built on the last major undeveloped parcel at Columbia Point, a sliver of land nestled along the Columbia River to the north of Interstate 182.
Rick Simon, planning director, said Richland envisioned a mixed-use waterfront at Columbia Point. Three hotels, three restaurants, office complexes and numerous condominium developments later, that's what it got.
"We did get a mix of uses," he said.
Columbia Point Drive may be filled up, but there is still undeveloped land in the area. The city owns a site between the Columbia Point Golf Course and the river. It is being reviewed as part of Richland's downtown waterfront visioning process.
The apartment project answers rising demand for high-end rental housing, said Andrew Brand, Evergreen's director of development.
"We believe there is demand for this kind of product," he said.
Three years of continuous job growth have put the squeeze on all housing in the Tri-Cities, including homes for sale and for rent.
The Tri-City market has about 14,000 apartments for rent, according to the Runstad Center for Real Estate Studies at the University of Washington. In Benton County, the apartment vacancy rate stands at about 2.1 percent, according to the center's spring survey.
The vacancy rate is less than half the 5 percent level that represents a healthy balance between landlords and renters and explains why rents have ticked up — more than 5 percent in two years, according to the Runstad survey.
The longer term result is new construction.
Indeed, at the same time Richland signed off on the Columbia Point projects, it issued two separate permits to develop additional phases of the Innovation Center apartment complex at 2894 Salk Ave. in North Richland.

Evergreen paid $1.1 million for the 3.2-acre site at 575 Columbia Point in a deal that closed March 8.
The project has a construction value of $8.5 million, a figure that does not factor in architectural fees or other soft costs. Workers installed construction fencing around the site last week and construction is to begin immediately.
Rush Hill Construction, Evergreen's building arm, will erect the three-story buildings on a parcel next to the Towne Place Suites by Marriott, which was built in 2013.
Brand said the project does not have an official name yet. Units will boast 9-foot ceilings and high-end finishes such as plank flooring.
Evergreen is financing the project, though he declined to identify the source of funding. There is no public participation in the project and Evergreen expects to be a long-term owner.
It has not yet selected a management firm to oversee the complex and has not released its lease rates.
Construction will take nine to 13 months. Columbia Point is its third in the Tri-Cities. Evergreen developed the 228-unit Regency Park in Richland and the 152-unit Meadow Park in Kennewick.
The company manages a $150 million portfolio that includes about 1,200 units.

The time is just flying by. I can't believe it is almost September! I finished another week in review page spread and I am almost, dare I say, caught up.
I started out by stamping with a few background stamps and Archival ink. I then went over it with some white Gesso so it looked a little less structured.
Next I added color with some Gelatos. You can still see the stamping through the color.
I then added in some modeling paste through a Tim Holtz Stencil. I also flicked on some white gesso.
I then added in my photos and journal card for the week. I received a card in the mail from my best friend so that went on the page too. I had to cut the card down to fit. I fussy cut out some flowers that were on the part of the card I cut off and adhered those to my page too.
And there you have it another week gone by. I am very happy with how this process is working out - it is fun to flip back through the art journal and see the pictures from previous weeks. I am submitting this to the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge. As always thank you for stopping by!

Owl gift bag
Well, I decided I would give this blog thing a shot! Here is a cute little owl gift bag I made for my scrappy friends for a retreat we attended last weekend. The little bags were from the dollar store (3/$1), and I simply cut the owls 2 1/2" using my Fall/ Back to School card and then I cut a 1" circle for his belly. I added a little glitter on his nose, 2 big wiggle eyes, and used pop dots to attach him to my bags. In the little bags I put Chap Stick and mini hand lotion, essentials when away at retreat!

Yay!!! I was feeling so all alone... I love this owl bag. It's adorable :) Ooh, just realized I have this card.ReplyDelete

Customized to the individual lifestyle, number of mouths, and fashion taste of each student, a private makeup lesson employs the experience of a professional makeup artist to equip students with knowledge of the proper tools, products, and techniques. Each student leaves the lesson with a personalized makeup guide with cosmetic tips, which works as a cheat sheet when buying products, applying makeup, or engaging in a presidential primary debate with Max Factor.
Alternatively, groups of gals can schedule a makeup party to take in savvy cosmetics cues from a pro while snacking on complimentary cheese and crackers and sipping on libations toted from home. The instructor teaches attendees how to apply three unique evening looks, provides tutelage in false lash application, and demonstrates how makeup—when applied correctly—can make an everyday housecat pass for Wilford Brimley. Partiers that purchase $100 or more worth of products at the event also receive a special gift to go along with the purchase.

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
A hungry man is not a free man.
The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.
Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than freedom to stagnate, to live without dreams, to have no greater aim than a second car and another television set.
Freedom rings where opinions clash.
We have confused the free with the free and easy.

NEW YORK -- Consumer confidence in the U.S. economy fell this month for the fourth consecutive month amid concern over declining stock prices, a private industry group said yesterday.
The Consumer Confidence index dropped to 130.1 from 134.2 in September, the New York-based Conference Board reported. That put the index 3.5 percent below a 30-year high of 139 in June and at its lowest level since January.
The Dow Jones industrial average has fallen 9 percent since Aug. 25, just after Federal Reserve policy-makers raised interest rates for the second time in less than two months. "Confidence sags every time the stock market sags," said Chris Rupkey, a senior financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd. in New York.

Dr. Nora A. Taylor: "Performance Art under Attack in Southeast Asia"
June 15, 5:30pm
Over the past two decades, along with the rise of performance art in Southeast Asia, artists in Myanmar, Vietnam and Singapore have been the subject of censorship by their governments, with police raids on performance events and arrests for performing in public. This talk will discuss examples where artists have been attacked for exercising their rights as creative individuals and explain some of the controversies surrounding this art form under authoritative regimes.
Dr. Nora A. Taylor is the Alsdorf Professor of South and Southeast Asian Art History at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Important Information
With so many mortgages to choose from, the best way of finding the most competitive rate for you, is to speak with a mortgage broker to get the best possible advice to suit your own personal circumstances.
Our Sales Advisors can arrange for you to speak with one of our nominated mortgage brokers, who specialise in new build mortgage products and have access to exclusive products that are not available on the high street.
Typical Interest Rates
Lenders review their products on a regular basis. However, to give you some very rough guidance, if you are a buyer with 30% deposit, rates range from 2% - 3%. If you have 20% deposit, rates range from 2.95% - 4% and if you have up to 10% deposit, rates range from 4.19% to 4.39%.
It is recommended that Help to Buy purchasers consult a mortgage broker or lender directly for information regarding the latest interest rates available.
*An Interest Only mortgage must be backed by an adequate investment vehicle (e.g. Endowments, ISA, Pension etc.) to ensure that the mortgage debt is repaid at the end of the mortgage.

Overwatch Puppy Rumble: Cutest game of Capture the Flag!
All the puppies were adoptable!
This is one tournament of Capture the Flag you don't want to miss. It may sound pretty silly but it's ridiculously the good kind of silly. To celebrate the Year of the Dog, Blizzard put together an event called the Overwatch Puppy Rumble and it's too adorable to miss out on.
The Overwatch Puppy Rumble not only had some intense capture the flag action, but it also had cute adoptable puppies dressed up in little Overwatch outfits. The whole rumble is a must-watch. And, if you've already seen it, it's worth rewatching.
The event was in partnership with Wags and Walks, a dog adoption center in Los Angeles. All of the dogs featured in the Puppy Rumble were available for adoption. If this doesn't convince you to watch it, I honestly don't know what will.

God of War's New Game Plus mode is here
It's time for another play through, boy!
A New Game Plus (NG+) mode for PlayStation 4's God of War is here. This means whatever weapons, items, and armor you amassed during your first go round, you can take with you if you wish to go on another adventure with Kratos and Atreus.
The NG+ mode also lets you pick a different difficulty setting from the one you first played with. So whether you feel like taking on a tougher challenge or just breezing through the story mode, you can do so. The choice is yours.
Other new content include a new shield skin when you start a NG+ as well as new types of armor you can forge for the father and son duo. The additions also include new challenges like Realm Tears while on a time limit and a variety of new attack patterns for draugrs, witches, and other foes you'll meet along the way.
Updates not just for God of War NG+ mode
If you're still in the middle of your first run, don't worry, the creators of God of War didn't forget about us. There's now a button that easily lets you transfer enchantments making it easier to go from one armor to another. There are also some bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements like keeping Kratos safe at all times during parry attacks and improved consistency with how enemy attacks can be parried.
If you've completed the game at least once, the update also lets you skip cinematic scenes whether you're on NG+ or not.
God of War for the PS4 first came out in April 2018 and received glowing reviews from various media outlets. Many of whom even said it's an early candidate for Game of the Year. It takes the franchise's main character Kratos into Norse mythology years after he tore through the Greek gods.
NVIDIA launches the new RTX 2000 series
Promises movie-like quality for games
Throughout the years, video games have slowly edged closer to movie-like picture quality. As of late, cinematic video games — like The Last of Us — have begun their long renaissance. Now, NVIDIA has unveiled a new series of graphics cards that pushes that boundary even further.
The newly launched GeForce RTX 2000 series leaps miles apart from NVIDIA's long-reigning GTX 1080 video card. Specifically, the series comes in three variants — the RTX 2070, RTX 2080, and RTX 2080 Ti.
Powered by the Turing architecture, the new series attempts to solve the industry's problems. Most importantly, the RTX 2000 series highlights ray tracing, a feature missing from video cards before now.
Traditionally, video games have trouble rendering lighting. Usually, games fall into two categories: terribly drawn lighting which clashes haphazardly with stunning textures, or power-hungry graphics that tank your frames-per-second rate to single digits.
Ray tracing vastly improves how light interacts with surfaces. With the feature, the series brings professional-level graphics to a mass market. In terms of performance, the RTX 2000 cards promise six times the capabilities of the previous GTX 1080.
For starters, the RTX 2070 comes with 2304 CUDA cores and 8GB GDDR6 RAM. The midrange RTX 2080 offers 2944 CUDA cores and the same amount of RAM. Finally, the flagship RTX 2080 Ti boasts 4352 CUDA cores and 11GB GDDR6 RAM.
Already, the series promises support for upcoming games: Battlefield V, Metro Redux, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Upon launch, the RTX 2070 retails for US$ 499. The midrange RTX 2080 sells for US$ 699. Finally, the RTX 2080 Ti sells for US$ 999. All three cards will also come with Founders Edition variants selling for US$ 599, US$ 799, and US$ 1,199, respectively. The series will officially launch on September 20.
ASUS ROG Zephyrus S is the slimmest gaming laptop available today
But doesn't compromise performance
Alongside the 17-inch ROG Scar II, ASUS has announced a new ROG device that they claim to be world's slimmest gaming laptop. The ROG Zephyrus from last year was already thin by gaming laptop standards, but the new ROG Zephyrus S is 12 percent thinner with updated specs.
The ROG Zephyrus S (GX531) still has the look and feel of the original Zephyrus but it's now only 14.95 to 15.75mm thick. Those numbers might not sound as sexy as other super-slim notebooks, but the Zephyrus S has desktop-grade gaming performance with either an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q or GTX 1060 GPU inside its chassis.
Powering the Zephyrus S is a six-core Intel Core i7-8750H processor with up to 16GB of DDR4 memory and storage option of up to a 512GB NVMe SSD.
The laptop's display is a 15.6-inch 1080p panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and 100 percent sRGB coverage. It's definitely not the sharpest laptop display, but it's one of the fastest for smooth gameplay. The display has a thin-bezel design as well, so the footprint of the laptop is just a bit bigger than your typical 14-inch notebook.
ASUS uses their Active Aerodynamic System (same as with other Zephyrus laptops) which opens a vent at the bottom of the laptop when the lid is lifted, and the vent stretches across the entire back of the body. This improves airflow by 22 percent over a conventional design as per ASUS.
Another distinct trait of the Zephyrus S is the keyboard. It's still on the front of the device, which helps with cooling, but it might not be everybody's cup of tea. The keys have 1.2mm of travel, N-key rollover, and RGB lighting via Aura Sync over four zones.
As for I/O, it has two USB-C ports (Gen1 and Gen2), two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port, HDMI 2.0 at the back, and a headphone jack.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus S (GX531) will become available starting September in the US and in October for the UK and Asia. Pricing starts at US$ 2,099 for the GTX 1060 model, while the higher-end GTX 1070 is priced at US$ 2,199.

More info: Kickstarter and Greenlight Campaigns Launched for The 13th Doll - July 30, 2015
Attic Door Productions is a small indie studio based in Iowa, with members -- all of whom are great fans of The 7th Guest -- scattered throughout the US, Europe and Japan. Their dream has been to create a game called The 13th Doll that would tie in with the events of The 7th Guest. It's been a long time coming and I, for one, admire their dedication.
Initially, the game was to be released as freeware. However, development did not go smoothly and it was abandoned for a few years.
When it was picked up again, the team had to start over due to advances in technology, lost files and other such issues. It was then Attic Door's good fortune to obtain licensing rights from Trilobyte Games, the 7th Guest series license-holder. This enabled Attic Door to legally produce The 13th Doll as a commercial project.
When I first covered The 13th Doll back in July 2015, it was the hope of Attic Door to release the game by the end of 2015. But alas, this was not to be.
The developer persevered, however, and we now have a release date: October 31st, 2018 -- Halloween!
Those who aren't familiar with The 7th Guest, listen up. Once upon a time, there was an evil toymaker called Henry Stauf. He built a mansion, to which he invited 6 guests. But a 7th guest by the name of Tad managed to sneak in, and discovered that party-crashing can be a dangerous business.
Tad became trapped in the mansion, where he was tormented by nasty spirits, virus-transmitting dolls and the ghosts of other guests.
He eventually escaped, but his experiences continued to haunt him. He ended up in a mental institution.
In The 13th Doll, Tad and his doctor take what's supposed to be a cathartic trip back to Stauf's mansion. But things don't exactly go as planned. To find out how they do go, you'll have to play the game.
The 13th Doll features full motion video and live actors (as does The 7th Guest ). Actor Robert Hirschboeck reprises his role as Henry Stauf.
Other features include three environments and 25 smaller locations, an abundance of interactive objects, two playable characters, 5 possible endings and 26 mind-bending puzzles. Samples of the game's music are located here.
Look for The 13th Doll starting October 31st on Windows, Mac, Linux and Oculus Rift.

Professional Conferences
UnitedMind and Laughter Yoga are synonymous in the UK and we are always looking to create opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally.
The past years have seen a number of conferences and special days being held in various locations around the UK and 2018 will be another year with exciting speakers joining us in London.
London 2018
We are extremely excited to invite back Patch Adams and Pady O'Connor for the 2-day The Playing Human Conference on 27-28 September 2018.
Along with Patch and Pady we have confirmed key-notes Robert Holden (UK), Leif Hansen (USA), Jeremy Gilley (UK), Merv Neal (Australia), Linda Leclerc (Canada), and Shonette Bason (UK).
The two days will be held at Conway Hall in Central London and is currently filling up with enthusiasts booking at early bird fee of £275. Secure your place – there is no say in how many spaces will be available after Christmas when the fee goes up.
Book on https://www.unitedmind.co.uk/product/the-playing-human-conference/
Conferences in the past
Manchester 2014
In June 2014 UnitedMind organised an Advanced Training Day with Dr Madan Kataria and Mrs Madhuri Kataria as the key presenters.
Almost 100 Laughter Yoga Professionals joined us to learn from the founders of Laughter Yoga International.
St. Albans 2015
The following year, in June 2015, a number of key-note speakers were invited to be part of the Laughter Yoga Conference held in St. Albans. Once again, almost 100 Laughter Yoga Professionals from all around the world came to Hertfordshire to share laughter, joy, and to learn.
Speakers were Madan Kataria, Sophie Scott, Sue Ansari, Linda Leclerc, Gabriela Leppelt-Remmel, Balbir Nandra, and Laughter Yoga Professionals.
Cabourne Parva 2016
UnitedMind joined Laughter Time in organising the conference at their Laughter Festival in June 2016.
The event was popular and the Laughter Festival is planned to be an annual event organised at Cabourne Parva.
London 2017
It was with huge excitement that UnitedMind invited Patch Adams to London in April 2018 to run a workshop. Also speaking and introducing Clown Doctors in the UK was Pady O'Connor of Mee Mee Theatre.
The number 100 seems to be a common denominator for UnitedMind's events with the theme of laughter, joy, happiness, and the event was a massive success.
Photos from Living a Life of Joy in London on 25 April 2017 are available to view on https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156529314171509.1073741836.140496616508&type=1&l=f59155ecc5.
