|You know me...like I need a special day to share a picture of my May. Isn't she the sweetest?!
I love it so much I thought I would blog about it. If anything will move a lazy blogger into blogging it will be as fantastic as "Tolkien Reading Day."
Here is why Tolkien means so much to me:
He took me to a world full of danger and terrible things, but also beautiful and wonderful things. He was the first to take me out of this world and into his own. He was the first to do that, not the last, others have come after him.
With the world we live in today we could all use a little more LOTR. Folks have speculated that Tolkien's world was created due to the fact that the man himself fought in WWI and WWII. The horrors he would have experienced in the trenches of WWI alone could have led to insanity...or worse. Instead, they led to beauty, to hope, and to good winning over evil.
Another reason Tolkien means so much to me, is that he was a special thing between my father and I. My dad is gone now but I treasure the time we spent reading together and talking about Tolkien's stories and Tolkien's world. I still have the old worn (and frantically taped up) mass market copies of the LOTR and the Hobbit. My kids have enjoyed them as well.
Finally (and maybe sadly), many years later, I have the same thing with my own kids. We are a weird family, but I know that. Our regular family conversations revolve around LOTR, the Princess Bride, Chicken Little and a splash of anything Mark Twain. We made a rule once that we could only communicate in quotes...what a weird thing to do...
Not sure why those are our favorites, but isn't family all about creating memories...and laughing...and being weirdos?
So the moral is: go read the classics with your kids. Laugh about the weird family traditions. Even write them down. And read a book. Let it take you away to a different place, a different world perhaps. And while you're in that world find some hope and happiness and bring it back to this one please...

Final Kiwi Carnival
I'll use the comments section of this post as a way to gauge interest. Leave a comment if you want the carnival to continue (and are happy to do what's required to achieve this). If we get enough signatures, I'll revive the carnival. Otherwise, that's all for now.
If anybody else wants to take over the idea and start up their own NZ blog carnival in this one's place, feel free to do so.
Otherwise, I'd be interested to hear about possible alternatives for fostering rational discussion in the NZ political blogosphere. This is something I discuss a bit here, raising the possibility of an argument-tracking 'wiki'. Another possibility would be to make use of truthmapping.com, as mentioned in the latest carnival. Any other ideas or feedback would be most welcome.

That's a shame, but i understand your reasoning. I think the nature of the nz political blogosphere, at the moment anyway, is more competitive than cooperative (unless it comes to ganging up on someone) so maybe that's why?ReplyDelete
anyway good on you for giving it a good shake of the saveloy and i'd be in if it gets relaunched anytime.
It's a shame that contributors have been so useless, since the hits I have been getting really make me think there is a lot of interest from readers.ReplyDelete
Ah, I was just checking my pots to send you something. I wonder if post-election the collegiality of NZ bloggers might re-emerge, making this project more likely to succed?ReplyDelete
I'm sorry to hear that it has mothballed for the time being. I'm not surprised though. Good on you for giving it a good whack.ReplyDelete

I was always intrigued by the fact that most of the smart people I've met tend to be vainer that everyone else. Of course, this is a subjective, possibly flawed assessment, because I obviously have no way to measure vanity (and quantifying intelligence is not always very precise, either).
Ambition always seems to be somewhat linked to intelligence; smarter people dream of more for themselves, because they believe they are good enough to try for the best, and because they seem to need this to feed their vanity.
Smarter and more ambitious people, the ones who spare no effort, and might even act in ethically dubious ways to reach their goals are the elite, the ones that stand out from the rest, and who should hold the responsibility of guiding life in society. They should act for the common good, but as we all know, they only care about what is beneficial to themselves.
They don't even care about the good of the other members of their "caste," as successful people compete with each other over everything. The members of a yacht club don't support each other; all of them just want to own the largest boat.
People who live in working class neighborhoods tend to be more supportive of each other than those who live in expensive zip codes. Obviously, the elite is not homogenous. Some are businesspeople, successful professionals, artists or famous sports players; then there are those who stand out because of their intellectual activities, like professors, scientists or actors. They compete among themselves. The intellectuals tend to consider themselves more enlightened, more concerned about the fate of the world, and like to flaunt their superior knowledge.
The rich can't bear to feel inferior, and neither can intellectuals.
So, rich people compete against each other and against intellectuals. Intellectuals do they same, and fight back throwing quotes with the same virulence that the rich use money.
Among the members of the elite there are almost no friends. The most successful sell an image of happiness, but that's not true. An accurate assessment shows that they are people who, during their childhood, understood they did not have all the innate qualities they'd like and, as such, would remain in the shadows.
So their brains convinced themselves they were the underdogs, as they wanted to have everything that's considered the best. Some were short; others, bad at sports. Others yet had an inadequate nose–so long and so forth. They used their potential and turned it into accomplishments that would attract attention and help them overcome their bitter resentment.
This is more or less how it goes: it starts with children (and then adults) whose vanity was hurt because they felt inconsequential, unlike the popular kids. Their brains refuse to accept their own limitations and imperfections, and they become resentful for not being as gifted as they would have liked to be. They decide to work hard, some ethically and others not, to change their situation. This is called ambition, a highly valued characteristic in our culture, which pays little attention to its problematic motivations.
Ambitious people are also competitive; their efforts to stand out make them happy when they see others are jealous or have been humiliated by them. Consequently, ambition might be the conductor for our worst emotions, and the motivator of some of the most contemptible actions we seen in society. It would be worth studying and understanding vanity just for this reason, but as I have written about extensively, it is much more far-reaching.

There are so many things to think about when you're looking for a new apartment or townhome for rent in your area. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the lease terms, the affordability of the rent, the school district, the potential new neighbors – all of these things and more will be on your mind when you start touring rental homes. It can be easy to miss something important when there are so many different things to keep in mind.

By the time you retire, you might not want to spend all of your free time taking care of a big house and an expansive yard. To kick back, relax, and enjoy your golden years, you might be thinking about purchasing a luxury condo on the outskirts of town. But which features will really matter down the road? Here are two important things to look for as you shop for a luxury condo, so that you don't regret your decision:

Renting your first apartment is an exciting time, but apartment living has gotten a reputation for having to sacrifice space in exchange for cost savings and convenience. Luckily, this doesn't always have to be the case. Even if you take an apartment for rent with a smaller floor plan than you would have liked, knowing how to capitalize on that space can help you make it feel like home. Here are some tips to help you make the most of any apartment space, giving you more flexibility in the square footage that you look for when you start shopping around.

Are you moving into an apartment for rent soon and are concerned that an apartment-sized bathroom won't have adequate storage space? Putting up extra shelves may be an option, but many landlords won't allow tenants to install anything that involves drilling holes in the wall. If you find yourself in this situation, don't despair -- there are other solutions to small-space conundrums. Following are seven creative ways that you can provide extra storage in an apartment-sized bathroom.

Many people have the misconception that they have to simply live with conditions they are not happy with when they live in an apartment. While there are some aspects of apartment living that are simply just part of life when you are renting, such as not being able to make permanent changes in your apartment that the owner cannot reverse when you leave, that does not mean that being a "

Concierge services - non-traditional helping hand services provided by EAPs and other work-life businesses to help employees resolve everyday work-life problems are gaining hold in the EAP field--well, here and there. A recent post on LinkedIn from a EAP in the United Kingdom got me thinking about this topic again.
The fragile rationale for the inclusion of concierge services in EAPs is that if you can't walk your dog and are worried about the carpet at home, this distraction isn't good for your employer's productivity. Hence a leap forward to providing a helping hand to employees that gets the logistics and worry off the employee's mind to free that brain up for more productivity.
I have one reaction to this: What is the "spirit and intent" of the EAP Core Technology?
Skeptics argue that such "concierge" services are the creations of the work-life industry and move away from what EAP services are all about. Others paint a rationale completely consistent with the core technology.
The reality of course is that competitive pressures to keep EAPs in business (otherwise known as the market economy) are turning some EAPs into do-it-all for you, one-stop resources for employees. Is this practicaal and protectionist or it shooting EAPs in the foot?
Is this an evolutionary step in the EA profession? Or, is it a step away from behavioral risk management, hands-on help for troubled employes, and better penetration into unmanaged risks in the organization associated with human behavior that only REAL EAPs can identify and dislodge? Does it contribute to a loss of focus for the profession, thereby making it ever more vulnerable to being hijacked by managed care?
In many ways, EAPs have always provided some concierge services. I remember a kindergarten teacher phoning to say she was completely frustrated with AMTRAK for billing her $850 twice for taking a bunch of students on a field trip to New York. After four months and getting nowhere fast, she called the EAP. Yes, we took the case. After all, she does not have the time at work to be on the phone all day. About an hour of bird-dogging AMTRAK and the problem was solved. Concierge service? Perhaps, but is this proof that EAPs should dive in head first into this shallow water? If you argue yes, would you post a sign outside the EAP door that advertises "consumer affairs problems solved here?" What about your brochure?
Will these services build your utilization rate? Yes, but at what ultimate cost? I hear the siren's wail on this one? I think it is a shipwreck for the EAP field to venture this direction. I would argue you could make it easier to get farmed out.
I think there is something called the "spirit and intent" of the EAP Core Technology. It requires an honest assessment of whether activities of your program match it because the profession is fewer in number this year than last--with many EAP closures only since 2012. I don't think concierge activity is what I would call a salvation related activity.

Brian Lavery con Assault Landing Craft: Design, Construction & Operators
The landing craft assault or LCA was one of the unsung heroes of the Second World War. It took part in practically every amphibious operation from Norway to Normandy and landed around 400,000 men in action conditions, plus many more in training. It was the only serviceable British landing craft at the beginning of the War, and it remained in service until the Suez operation of 1956. It landed the first waves of infantry on the British and Canadian beaches in Normandy in 1944, and Americans on the notorious Omaha Beach. Its far-sighted design of 1938 remains the basis for the landing craft of today.
This is the first book devoted to this humble but essential craft. It examines its design history before the War, when amphibious operations were deeply unfashionable. It describes its design and construction with plans that will be useful to modellers and wargamers. It includes information on the role of the crew and the techniques and tactics used in landings. It gives an account of the larger ships which carried it and the life of the sailors and soldiers who travelled in it, with many vivid personal accounts. Finally, it describes its role in the many operations in which it took part, including withdrawals such as Dunkirk and the catastrophic Dieppe raid of 1942.

From the Inside Flap:
Rather than encouraging us to seek God, Jason Shulman believes we need only make ourselves available to receive God, who is always present and awaiting us. In The Instruction Manual for
Receiving God, you will encounter the presence of God through 108 "seed passages"-profound and insightful statements that are meant to unlock your mind and open your heart. Shulman
offers generous reflection of each seed passage, illuminating the depth and meaning of its precious message. Reading this book is like a personal sanctuary where you will:
~ Experience complete liberation-the "act" of being truly human
~ Feel the constant rain of compassion washing over your spiritual life and receive the sacred blessings that are endlessly offered by reality itself
~ Learn practical ways to connect to the Divine each and every day
Whether read cover-to-cover or opened to a random verse for inspiration, The Instruction Manual for Receiving God is a book readers of all faiths will cherish and return to again and again. Here,
Jason Shulman offers contemplations that access the reality of God, "who is always knocking at the door of our hearts...and whose Voice is always speaking."
"Beautiful lessons and brilliant insights on the divine nature of humanity and how we connect with God and ourselves. Enlightening and inspirational."
- Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly EffectivePeople and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
"Jason Shulman brilliantly integrates a deep psychological component witha profound understanding of the non-dual, absolute unity of the Divine Nature in a way that raises the reader's soul to the highest potential of awareness. While traditional teachings tend to demean the ego-self, Shulman shows us the importance of our gift of self-awareness and how to come to peace withourselves. Thus he leads readers to evoke a healing from our sense of fractured separation into a wholeness of being that has compassion for who we are and what we are. This is a must-read for anyone who wishes to learn the essence of kabbalistic teachings in the hands of a master of spiritual and psychological development."
- Rabbi David A. Cooper, author of God Is a Verb
"Kabbalistic Healing is a great book about discovering wisdom within each of us. At a time when everyone in contemporary society is experiencing an information glut, what's missing is a deeper understanding of life. Jason Shulman provides the reader with wisdom and insight for life's journey."
- Stephan Rechtschaffen, cofounder and CEO of the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
"Jason Shulman has succeeded in creating a down-to-earth guide which makes the quest to find God into realizable possibility."

Items like Bisto, the refreshing hot drink for the elderly, and its enemy OXO, plus Mr Kipling cakes are all set to see their prices rise in supermarkets across the country, because that graph about pounds that points down means, somehow, that Premier Foods has/wants to charge us all more.
A spokesperson for the company said: "The situation on pricing differs between our different categories and brands and is currently under discussion with our individual retail customers. However, on average we are considering rises around the mid single-digit mark."
Portion sizes may shrink and some promotions may end too. We need to get back to making our own gravy and cakes. That'll make Britain great again. Get a Britannia costume in Mary Berry's size. [Guardian]

There is a big similarity between Etienne St. Clair of Ms. Stephanie Perkins' Anna and The French Kiss and I. I am not talking about his gorgeous looks and smooth charisma. I am talking about not driving. As a consequence, I travel two hours via bus to go to school. It is very difficult, but since CSUN promised me an inspiring campus to study at, I create the sacrifice of spending 4 hours inside the bus almost everyday (2 hours going to school + 2 hours going home)
I am a junior in California State of Northridege or CSUN with a major on creative writing. Why did I choose that when I can easily attend other universities closer to my apartment? The answer is simple. I always wanted to be a YA novelist. When a representative talked to me about how CSUN had the ability to give me a Bachelor of Arts degree in creative writing unlike other school that I was considering to attend, I was beyond intrigued. She showed me this promising English program with a promised that CSUN English professor were there to inspire me everyday, but these last two weeks, my english professor made me feel like I was wasting my time in CSUN.
ENG 300 is a required class for me to complete my degree. I was actually happy to go to that class, because it requires reading contemporary American short stories and writing journals as part of the homework everyday. We were on our last two three weeks before the finals. We were gonna start reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Sir Jonathan Safran Foer. I started reading the novel early, for I was assigned to do a presentation on it. Before dismissing the class, our professor said that there were critics who said that Oskar Schell, a 9-year-old main character of the book, was a unrealistic character. She said it was bullshit (unfortunately, that was the exact word she used), and the she asked us who already started the novel. I raised my hand, and she asked me how was it. I gave her my honest opinion as person with a book blogger spirit on my blood. I said, "I believe Oskar as a narrator but I am having a hard time with her voice, especially he is a child narrator. I have read a lot of children's book, so I know a child's voice when I read one. He is believable as a character but the author's writing style is really hard to get into." My professor looked at me with a crease between her two eyes. She said that the book is not a children's book. I said that I know that, but a child narrator is a child narrator, so the author should be able to deliver that. The class ended with me looking forward to still finish the book.
But as I flipped the pages, my struggle to get into the author's writing style was getting harder and harder. I know that my opinions about books are not universal facts. I believe that what is true for me about a book is not true for the others.
So I finished the book. Because it contains real pictures, I decided to create an introduction using Sir Ransom Riggs' Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and Ms. Tracy Holczer's The Secret Hum of a Daisy, so I could say how a child's traumatic experience was now very well portrayed in fiction. When I showed the books to the class, she kept interrupting me to skip the books. I was baffled to know that presentations could be interrupted when the professor did not like the way you started. I hid my shock with a smile, and continued.
The next meeting, we were still discussing the book. A classmate mentioned that the pictures in the book are not well placed. He said the pictures threw him off, because they were placed like very randomly. I backed him up by saying that I had the same experience. I mentioned that Ms. Morgan Matson's Amy and Roger's Epic Detour used the same method of fictionalizing real pictures. I continued by saying that a lot of YA authors have accomplished a good job by using real pictures too, but Sir Foer did not do a very good job in his book. The discussion continued and we talked about children's traumatic experiences. I said that kids become very curious in fiction whenever they experienced something traumatizing. To back up my claim, I used the assigned text and Ms. Holczer's book. I guess that was when she blew up. She told me that YA and children's books are merely design for entertainment. They are not designed for reader response analysis.
I just nod and nod. I was in no position to argue, especially I was ready to cry. My heart was ripping into pieces. I was there knowing my professors would inspire me everyday, but there she was making me feel like I was only wasting my time in CSUN. After the class, I excused myself and went to the restroom to cry.
I believe in the magic of YA and MG literature, but for that one moment. I felt my whole being was stepped on.
Maybe CSUN is not really for me. Maybe I don't need that BA degree. Maybe what I need was an MFA. But right now, I really don't know. I am laughing about this, but when I am alone in my room… Before sleep visits me, the memory of how she threw those words about how YA and MG literature are nothing but mere entertainment, I cry.

At Firehouse, we believe in preventing illness, injury, and disease. Our patients should maintain healthy lives, and we want their owners to be heard, valued, and well-informed. Every aspect of our routine Wellness visit was created with this philosophy in mind.
Our experience has shaped our approach to veterinary medicine. The Firehouse team continues to challenge the status quo and innovate improved ways of delivering care to our pets. We utilize scientific and technologic advances as well as advanced communication and collaborative tools to create the best Firehouse customer and patient experience. Our Wellness Philosophy exemplifies some of our strategies.
- Historical Information Evaluation
We believe in understanding your pet's needs by acknowledging any pertinent information from the past. Thorough communication helps us to have a more comprehensive approach to making the best decisions.
- Physical Examination
Because our pets do not tell us how they feel, a physical exam often gives us more insight into problems that could exist. When done completely, we gain much additional knowledge about the pet.
- Blood Chemistry Testing
Often internal problems go unknown until the pet begins exhibiting signs of illness. We have the ability to learn much about the internal function of the pet through a small blood sample taken at the time of the visit. This blood analysis allows us to understand what is happening now and gives us a way of comparing the patient over time to identify trends.
- Intestinal Parasite Screen
Studies show that 5-10% of our patients have some form of intestinal parasite. These diseases can cause illness in our pets and may cause health concerns in people. We believe in testing these patients each year to guide necessary treatment.
- Heartworm Testing / Prevention
Heartworm disease is common but easily preventable. We test our patients annually to make sure that prevention is working effectively and to ensure that we do not need to intervene with any other methods.
- Immunizations (Vaccinations)
We believe in giving only the immunizations that your pet truly needs. We do not have a one-size-fits-all protocol but want to consider age, lifestyle, exposure risk, health, and owner concerns before deciding on the immunization strategy.
- Nutrition Consultation
We know that what we feed our pets is critical to providing them a long and healthy life. For that reason, the Firehouse team is dedicated to reviewing current discussions in nutritional research and passing that information on to our pet owners.
- Behavior Consultation
We grasp that behavior, training, and stress management are critical to the human-animal bond. Many veterinarians overlook these areas and consider it to be someone else's job. We want to be a resource for solving these problems for our patients through education and other resource partners.
- Genetic Consultation
We live in a time when genetic advances are making a big difference for further understanding of our pets. We will evaluate testing that helps us to know the most about your pet using their own genetic code.
- Professional Dental Care
We believe that routine professional dental cleanings may be one of the greatest ways to prevent illness and disease. Many systemic ailments begin with the underlying dental disease so managing those issues each year makes a tremendous difference in the health of our pets.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and collaborative experience to our patients in the most cost-effective way. We have associated discounts on our Wellness Visits that can save the client substantial amounts of money depending on the services for which choose to take advantage of. We will give you an itemized treatment plan for any recommendations and will walk through any questions that you have. If you are ever unsure of the costs, please just ask! The amount of money saved can range anywhere from $50 – $500.
If you need other payment options for any of our services, we are able to offer a great payment solution called Scratch Pay that allows you more flexibility in how you handle the finances.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services
Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pet's complete health care needs. Our medical record system is completely digital, providing the most comprehensive solution for wellness care.
We use the best anesthetics available in order to provide an extra margin of safety and comfort for our patients. We utilize pulse oximetry and we monitor blood pressure on our patients during anesthetic procedures. All anesthesia patients receive pre-procedure lab testing, and they all have an intravenous catheter placed to receive fluids during their procedures.
Our in-house laboratory facilities provide for basic testing of samples to help us diagnose disease quickly. We also utilize the largest and most reliable veterinary commercial laboratory for sample analysis, pathology, and specialized diagnostics, urinalysis and parasite testing. We also consult regularly with board-certified specialists at our laboratory and at our partner specialty hospital for aid in complicated cases.
Our dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions and oral surgery. Our staff is trained in the latest dental techniques by board-certified veterinary dentists. Our hospitals are equipped with digital radiography, state of the art dental cleaning equipment, and dental tools that are sterilized between uses.
Emergency Care
Please call 512.765.9009 for after-hour emergency instructions, or visit our emergency partner at eahnwa.com.
Surgical Services
We perform a wide variety of surgical procedures on site and can arrange for a surgical specialist to provide specialized procedures at our hospital or at Central Texas Veterinary Specialty Hospital, our surgical referral partner (ctvsh.com).
Radiology Services
Our on-site x-ray equipment is completely digital. Both our whole-body imaging and dental imaging systems use digital technology to provide the highest quality images. We partner with board-certified radiologists to provide ultrasound and image review as needed.
We maintain a complete inventory of pharmaceuticals, prescription diets, nutritional supplements, shampoos, flea and tick medication, and heartworm preventatives to meet the needs of your pet. We also have the option of an online fulfillment of prescription orders.
Dietary Counseling
We will provide guidance regarding your pet's nutritional needs for each life stage, including dietary requirements for growth, weight maintenance, and performance. We also carry specialized prescription diets to provide proper nutrition for specific medical conditions that our patients may encounter.
Food Services
The Veterinarians and Staff at Firehouse Animal Health Centers are pleased to welcome Purina Veterinary Diets as our recommended therapeutic pet food line.
In researching veterinary therapeutic diets, Firehouse veterinarians sought the following specifications:
- High quality, effective nutrition
- The latest advances in nutritional science and technology
- Excellent palatability (taste)
- Convenient, on-time, accurate delivery
- Reasonable prices
Purina's superior nutritional therapy has proven to meet or exceed all of these requirements.
We go the extra mile.
Firehouse Veterinarians treat disease and injuries, provide prescription products and if necessary refers pet patients to a network of high quality, pre-screened specialists. Our veterinary team approach is collaborative – we will act as an advocate for your pets' health care issues, and we will make decisions as a whole.

text: The treatment and care my dog (Boss) has received from Helen at Dick white Referrals Physiotherapy dept has been second to none. There has been consistent and noticeable improvement from the very first session. I am sure a lot of this marked improvement is due to the fact his treatment has been undertaken in such a way he has never been stressed at any point and now looks forward to his appointments. Consideration for other health conditions have been taken into account throughout his treatment and where needed other members of staff at DWR have been consulted. I would highly recommend the Physiotherapy Department at DWR and all the DWR hospital.

ZTE launches Nubia Z9 with touch-sensitive frame
ZTE has launched its new flagship phone, the Nubia Z9. The 16MP Sony CMOS sensor appears to be the same as in the recently announced LG G4. It is combined with an F2.0 aperture and optical image stabilization. There's an 8MP wide-angle front camera.
The 1080p screen resolution is a little dated but the Snapdragon 810 SoC is very powerful chips. Three editions are available: the Classic edition with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage and the Elite edition with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.
The most amazing sits is the Z9's frame. The display bezels are only 0.8mm thin but the phone comes with a new technology that ZTE calls Frame Interaction Technology (FiT). It allows users to touch or swipe the edges of the frame to perform certain actions, such as launching an app or accessing the settings.
The ZTE Nubia Z9 will be available in China from May 21. But three editions of Nubia Z9 are not cheap.

The general slow down in health spending means Medicare, the federal insurance program for Americans 65 and older, is doing better financially, but is still expected to run out of money in 2030. This marks a four-year increase from last year, when the Medicare Board of Trustees predicted the program would remain solvent through 2026.
The insolvency date of Medicare has fluctuated wildly since 1970, from "as close as two years away or pushed as far as 28 years into the future," according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. And despite the impending financial doom, it is highly likely that the program will still be operational come 2030. That's because even if Medicare were to hit the point of "insolvency," it would still continue to function.
In 2013, the four Medicare programs: Parts A, B, C and D, covered 52.3 million people at a cost of $582.9 billion. Part A covers the cost of hospital care and is financed by a 2.9% payroll tax paid by employees and employers that goes into a trust fund. When the trustees talk about the "solvency" of the program, they are referring to the date through which the payroll tax will adequately cover the cost of hospital care for Medicare beneficiaries.
If Medicare is projected to remain solvent through 2030, this means that after 2030, the government wouldn't be able to finance the program 100%; however, the payroll tax would still be collected and the government could finance up to 85% of the cost. That percentage, though, would continue to decline into the future.
Parts B and D are considered supplementary medical insurance. Part B pays for physician services and Part D covers prescription drugs. (Part C is Medicare Advantage, and beneficiaries chose to have the program administered by a commercial health insurance plan.) Parts B and D are funded by a combination of premiums paid by the elderly enrolled in the programs and general revenue tax dollars, which are unallocated tax dollars. These programs are not affected by the solvency projections of Medicare Part A.
"Trustees' reports have been projecting impending insolvency for four decades, but Medicare has always paid the benefits owed because Presidents and Congresses have taken steps to keep spending and resources in balance in the near term," Paul N. Van de Water of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities wrote at this time last year.
Even so, policy analysts stress that the Medicare programs will need to undergo some changes as the Baby Boomers are growing older and living longer. "As the largest generation in American history enters retirement, the pressure on our social insurance programs has grown," Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew said Monday. "We must make changes now, so we don't need to make drastic changes later."

Will you help a cat like Daisy?Become a Sponsor today
Christmas 2019As we are now closed to adoptions for the Festive period. This will allow our homing teams to complete home visits, and possible adoptions before 10th December. This then allows any homed cats a reasonable amount of time to settle into their new homes before the madness of Christmas arrives. We will reopen our books to adoptions from 4th January 2020.Area of OperationsCovering postcodes MK40 - MK45 and SG15 - SG19. Please note that, since home visits are compulsory before a cat can be rehomed (see below), we are unable to place cats outside our geographical area. If you live outside this area, please contact your local branch to arrange a home visit (your branch can be found by clicking here.) Thank you.
Cats Protection asks adopters for a fee when rehoming a cat. The fees for our branch are £60 per cat/kitten. If you feel able to make a donation on top of the fee that would, of course, be gratefully received. We know times are hard so thank you for your decision to rehome a CP cat!
Introduction We have a steady stream (on occasions, a torrent!) of cats coming into our care, so we are always looking for good homes for them. If you would like to adopt a cat and you live in our area, please contact us for more information.
Guidelines We feel it is vital to match the right cat with the right home. To achieve this, we follow the guidelines provided by Head Office, which have been created based on years of experience of what works best. The emphasis is on putting the cat's needs first, and the aim is to pair the cat up with the right family and environment for him or her, and to provide adopters with a cat who suits their lifestyle.
Home Visits Before rehoming a cat with you, it is compulsory for you to have a home visit from one of our volunteers. This is all part of the process of helping to find a great match of cat and human. This may take longer initially, but the proof is in the pudding - very few of the cats we rehome are returned to us.
Rented Accommodation If you live in a rented property you must provide written consent from the landlord for a cat, or cats, to live in the property before we can rehome anything.
Meeting Our Cats We do not own any physical premises, so it is not possible for you to pop along to view all the cats. The cats are looked after by individual volunteers in their own homes, and it is therefore helpful if you can tell us which cats you are interested in meeting, so we can arrange an appointment for you with the appropriate fosterer if you and we wish to go ahead. We cannot promise that a particular cat will still be available, but if we know what you are looking for, this helps us to find the perfect cat for you. All cats that we rehome are:-
OLDER CATS - THEY ARE NOT AS OLD AS YOU THINK! Many people are worried about adopting a cat who is over 5 years of age and won't even look at a cat who is "mature" at 8, 10 or 12 years old. In fact this is the time that a cat is in it's prime and possible less than half way through its life, since many cats are living in to their 20's! Taking on ANY cat is a lifetime commitment (for you and the cat). Ask yourself if you would like someone to discriminate against you solely on the grounds of your age?
At Bedford & Biggleswade Cats Protection we believe that the most important quality about a cat is its personality. If you are looking for a friendly, adoring cat for yourself or your family ALL our cats need to be visited by you. They have great personalities and there is a cat out there to suit your lifestyle. We ask you to think about the adoption of a cat carefully, as it is a commitment of years no matter what it's age.
Sometimes we do not know a cats age when it comes into out care can only guess. ALL our cats are vet checked, vaccinated, micro-chipped and treated for fleas and worms as well. We will tell you a cats age to the best of our ability. "Mature" cats (any cat over 7 years old) are still playful and love a fuss and so can adapt to a new household and will probably settle in more quickly because they are adults and understand humans. Please NEVER dismiss a cat solely on its age or colour or you might be missing out on the perfect cat for you.
BLACK CATS Sometimes being a black cat is not always lucky for the cat. Cats Protection has found that black cats (and black and white ones) tend to be the most overlooked cats when it comes to adoption. We think this is because people think they are too common and, sometimes, would prefer a cat with a more 'unusual' colour.
We have found that black and black & white cats do tend to be the most friendly and family-perfect cats not to mention being extremely regal and handsome. So, please, don't skip over our black or black & white cats. If you are looking for a cat that offers good company, please go and visit all of our cats and choose the one that charms you and suits your lifestyle best. You won't go wrong with a black cat!
Not all cats/kittens are photogenic or easy to take photos of. Please DO NOT JUDGE OUR FELINES BY THEIR PHOTOS. IT IS THEIR PERSONALITIES THAT COUNT. GIVE THEM A CHANCE - MEET THEM.
Some of the cats in our care may not yet be on our website. If you are looking for a feline companion, please contact us on 0345 260 2505

You may have heard that there is food that makes your penis bigger. This would be a fantastic thing but could such a thing be true? So far that hasn't been any food known to actually increase the size of your penis. However, this is where the mistake of thinking there is such a food may have happened.
You see, there is food that can increase your libido. Because of this improvement of libido, your erection can be enhanced in hardness and strength due to the increase of blood flow to your penis. As a result, your sexual desire may become more intense as well.
Since there isn't any food that makes your penis bigger, don't buy into the myth that there is. Now, if you want some help increasing your libido, there are some foods that you can eat that will do this for you.
One such food is raw oysters. Oysters contain two substances that can aid in your libido increase. The first is dopamine and the second is zinc which can raise testosterone and increase your production of sperm.
Another food believed to increase libido are bananas. Bananas are a great source of potassium and riboflavin. These are known to improve energy levels which in turn can improve your stamina during sex.
Almonds and avocados are also great sources of vitamins and acids that help improve your energy which is good for great sex. As you can see, all of these foods are great to increase your libido but none of them are actually food that makes your penis bigger.

The most obvious thing missing from this year's Booneville Open Cow Pasture Pool golf tournament will be the cow pasture.
But, according to Stacey McCollough, the executive director of the Booneville Development Corporation/South Logan County Chamber of Commerce, the event sponsor, that doesn't mean the April 4 and 5 tournament will simply be another benefit on the tournament Cherokee Creek Country Club calendar.
It will not be the standard 18 hole course, McCollough said.
"We're going to try to make it as interesting as we possibly can," said McCollough.
Since the relaunch of the tournament there has been a dedicated group of individuals fretting over greens in the middle of a field west of the city that served as host of the tournament. There will not be such issues this year.
"They love it, they just eat that up," McCollough said of the greens-keepers. "But for all the work they put in and all the time they put in, I just felt bad for them. I know that sounds strange but I really did, they worked hard to get those greens in the shape they were in."
"And they did a good job. I had no problems with what they did — you're playing in a cow pasture."
Given the challenge of preparing greens for an April tournament McCollough said he looked at a long range forecast back in December.
"We felt it would have been harder to make the greens this year, and it turns out it would have been," said McCollough.
Moving the tournament adds benefits including a clubhouse rather than a tent covering from which tournament officials can work.
"It's early in the season so it's kind of the time people are thinking about dusting the clubs off and getting out there and knocking one around," said McCollough. "That's kind of what we're wanting to encourage. We want people to get out, stretch their legs, stretch their arms and have a good time."
Needing to grow to remain a viable event, the tournament drew 29 teams in 2013, which was an increase of nine from the previous year.
"The weather worked out for us well last year. Everything last year we kind of hit our stride. The teams seemed to have a good time," said McCollough. "We had gotten some wet weather before it but it wasn't so wet you couldn't enjoy it."
Early registration for the two man scramble is ongoing now for $150 per team. After March 28 the registration fee will be $175.

I get immense pleasure creating objects - taking an idea, a thought, the mental picture, and then working the chosen material of the object - dealing with the mass, the structure, the visual presence. The process is a series of decisions, none minor, resulting in a new object - definitely thoughtful, hopefully interesting, maybe beautiful.

This update is the second of many that will be written to keep you up-to-date on the most promising cancer treatment that is in the research pipeline.
For the last six-years, I've tried to help people understand how gold nanoparticles are a better way to treat cancer than the methods we have now.
Gold Nanoparticles are being used in combination with many of today's methods for treating cancer which include lasers, radio-waves, chemotherapy, infrared light, radiotherapy, and as mentioned in the last update the gene therapy called CRISPR was recently added to this list.
Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research is a non-invasive cancer treatment that kills cancer cells without hurting surrounding healthy tissue and it does not have harmful side-effects.
What you'll find in this issue.
This article shines the light on some interesting elemental facts about gold; we all know that gold in its bulk form cannot be magnetized and does not tarnish.
But, did you know that gold nanoparticles are magnetic and the property that keeps gold from tarnishing in its bulk-form, also makes it benign in the body in its nano-form? (the latter fact is not stated in the article)
These two characteristics of gold nanoparticles are just a sample of the unique properties that make them a great way to treat cancer.
However, this article isn't about cancer research, it's about physics, but it has been written so that you don't need a physics major to read it.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
Magnetism is caused by unpaired electrons surrounding the atoms of the material. Due to a quantum mechanical property called "spin", unpaired electrons induce a magnetic dipole (like the two poles of a bar magnet). However, electrons often like to team up in pairs, and the opposing spin of the two electrons cancels out the magnetic effect.
The article goes on to explain how gold atoms and electrons work and how the unique interaction of gold's electrons, from one atom to another, give it its characteristics in bulk and nano form.In addition, the conclusion of the article explains how gold nanoparticles get their magnetic properties in relation to Einstein's 'Theory of Relativity.' "Magnetic gold is evidence of relativity, study finds." - Cosmos Magazine
At Northwestern University, some hope has risen for those who have this form of cancer, a new human trial is currently being done at the University's multiple facilities in and around Chicago, Illinois.
The research involves attaching strands of RNA, programmed to kill cancer, on gold nanoparticles.
In the article, Andrew Lee, Ph.D., a Northwestern Medicine researcher, stated the following about using gold nanoparticles in these human trials.
"There's a bunch of challenges to delivering that molecule to the right place in a disease setting," said Andrew Lee, Ph.D., a Northwestern Medicine researcher.
That's where the nanoparticles shine. Packed with short strands of RNA – poised to deliver a deadly message to cancer cells — the loaded spheres move freely through the bloodstream without notice or reaction. In animal studies, they crossed the protective blood-brain barrier then penetrated tumor cells – ultimately sparking cell death.
"It really is the role of the size of the nanostructure as well as the density and exactly how the molecules are presented by the nanostructure that really give it an advantage in crossing each of those barriers," Lee said. New clinical trial offers hope to patients with glioblastoma - Katharin Czink and Dina Bair, WGNTV (Chicago, Illinois)
Please Note:
If you have this form of cancer or know someone who is fighting Glioblastoma, there are links at the bottom of the WGNTV article that will give you information about enrollment and if it is still possible to be apart of this research.
This article offers an in-depth view of how researchers are learning how gold nanoparticles are able to help chemotherapy do its intended primary goal: To kill cancer while not harming the patient.
The excerpt below talks about how gold nanoparticles and targeted chemotherapy, also called 'Nanotherapeutics' is giving researchers new hope towards making chemotherapy drugs more effective.
In 2014, he and collaborators demonstrated that gold nanoparticles could be used to 'smuggle' chemotherapy drugs into cancer cells in glioblastoma multiforme, the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer in adults, which is notoriously difficult to treat.
The team engineered nanostructures containing gold and cisplatin, a conventional chemotherapy drug. A coating on the particles made them attracted to tumour cells from glioblastoma patients, so that the nanostructures bound and were absorbed into the cancer cells.
Once inside, these nanostructures were exposed to radiotherapy. This caused the gold to release electrons that damaged the cancer cell's DNA and its overall structure, enhancing the impact of the chemotherapy drug.
The process was so effective that 20 days later, the cell culture showed no evidence of any revival, suggesting that the tumour cells had been destroyed. How to train your drugs: nanotherapeutics - Medical Xpress
Recently, the National Science Foundation awarded Dr. Andy Chong, a University of Dayton researcher, $302,700 to create the next generation of pulsed lasers for hospitals and clinics.
He is working on lasers that generate visible wavelengths called 'pulsed fiber lasers,' they are less bulky than the medical lasers of today, and they are less expensive and easier to use.
These new lasers would also be more reliable than today's medical lasers and could be used for micro-surgeries, and work in conjunction with gold nanoparticles to kill cancer cells.
Dr. Andy Chong stated the following about the new laser he is working on:
"For medical purposes, we do believe the mode-locked fiber lasers are the future," he said. "But for now, the visible wavelength laser is not directly available from mode-locked lasers. You have to start with the laser and convert to the visible wavelength. What I'm suggesting is we can build a laser that can generate visible light and make it readily available for medical applications in a way that is cheaper and more reliable." - Dr. Andy Chong Laser Focused Research - University of Dayton

Does what it says. It is mild. The hair is very glossy afterwards. The only problem I think is aloe vera in it, my skin gets irritated (but that's my problem I do not tolerate aloe vera).

Daan and Anna (just) top the list of most popular baby names in the Netherlands last year, knocking Liam and Emma from the top spots.
In total, 681 Daans were born. Noah and Sem followed in second and third place. Anna was given as a first name to 665 baby girls, just beating Emma, Tess and Sophie which shared second place with 664.
Taking variations into account, Sarah, Zara or Sara would have topped the list with 1,046 reports. Luuk, Luc and Luke topped the boy's list with 804.
De Jong, Jansen and De Vries head the list of most common surnames.
Civil servants are allowed to refuse new names which have not been registered before if they consider them to be inappropriate. Parents can then go to court in an effort to have the ruling changed. The longest boy's name given last year was Danley-Maikeljunior. For girls, it was the more moderate sounding Christina-Alexandra.
Broadcaster RTL scoured the complete list of names to come up with some of the more unusual ones. These include girls named Svastika, Shoe-Jainely and Tippie-Tippe and boys named T'cxzayneau, Q'ZHN, Boef (crook), Ba, Divinepraise and Bentley-Maxim.
The popular names list is published every year by the social insurance bank SVB which pays out child benefits. In total, 88,494 boys and 84,286 girls were born in the Netherlands.
