The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) currently leads an On-Time Graduation Project (OTGP) with four pilot districts. This project aims to increase the graduation rate with a standard diploma for students with disabilities engaging them in postschool education and competitive integrated employment. OTGP's intentional focus is on measuring the outcomes for students with disabilities in Grades 6, 9, and 11; however, all students in those grades are required to be included in the National Technical Assistance Center on Transition (NTACT) Risk Calculator and assigned interventions based on identified need. Pilot school districts have chosen to include students in Grades 9–12 in the NTACT Risk Calculator. In this context, ODE has requested the Great Lakes Comprehensive Center's (GLCC's) technical assistance and support in developing an Ohio-specific Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System (EWIMS) implementation guide. GLCC and the College and Career Readiness and Success Center (CCRS) have worked with ODE staff in Year 6 to develop a logic model for this project, targeting the four pilot districts.
In Year 7, the centers will work collaboratively with ODE to develop a multitiered intervention inventory, design training for EWIMS implementation by building leadership teams and support from a regional system of support staff, develop an Ohio version of the EWIMS Implementation Guide, and develop a plan for statewide dissemination of the EWIMS process. Longer-term outcomes include increased capacity to implement early warning systems, including use of multitiered systems of support and integrated student service plans beyond the four pilot districts; and increased capacity of ODE and state support teams to support district and school implementation of EWIMS.
Too many Ohio students are either underprepared for postsecondary college or careers or have dropped out of school. In the 2015–16 school year, 17,106 students with disabilities earned high school diplomas in Ohio; however, only 35% (6,027) met the same requirements for graduation as students without disabilities. Additionally, 20% (4,300) of Ohio's students with disabilities dropped out.
Milestone 1. A multitiered intervention inventory for attendance, course performance, and behavior developed. (11/01/18)
Milestone 2. Virtual and in-person EWIMS implementation training for district leadership teams; building leadership teams; regional system of support staff designed and delivered. (12/15/18)
Milestone 3. An Ohio version of the EWIMS Implementation Guide developed. (03/31/19)
Milestone 4. An OGTP implementation rubric reviewed and refined. (04/15/19)
Milestone 5. Usability testing of the Ohio EWIMS Implementation Guide in the four pilot districts conducted. (05/30/19)
Milestone 6. A statewide EWIMS dissemination plan designed. (07/30/19)
Milestone 7.
Expected Capacity Building Outcomes
Primary: Improved knowledge and skills
Secondary: Improved organizational structures and processes
Expected Outcomes
- ODE is equipped with the resources, processes, knowledge, and skills to support implementation of an early warning system, including use of multitiered systems of support and integrated student service plans among the four pilot districts as measured by an implementation rubric.
- Pilot districts have the resources, knowledge, and skills to implement an early warning system that results in an increased percentage of students with disabilities in Grades 6, 9, and 11, progressing from off track to on track to graduate as demonstrated by a reduction in risk level and/or indicators for potential intervention in the NTACT Risk Calculator Tool among the four pilot districts.
- Pilot districts have the resources, processes, knowledge, and skills to implement an early warning system that shows increased compliance with state career advising policy and excessive absenteeism policy among the four pilot districts.
- Pilot districts have the resources, processes, knowledge, and skills to implement an early warning system that results in an increased movement toward and/or maintenance of state targets for the State Performance Plan—Indicator 1 (% of students with disabilities graduating with a regular diploma), Indicator 2 (% of students with disabilities dropping out), and Indicator 3 (% of students with disabilities 16 years and older with a transition plan in place).
Expected Outputs
- Multitiered intervention inventory for districts and schools that includes at least one universal, targeted, and intensive intervention for attendance, course performance, and behavior
- Web-based and in-person training for building leadership teams and state support teams/Educational Service Center staffs
- Ohio version of the EWIMS Implementation Guide
- OTGP implementation rubric
- A dissemination plan for implementing EWIMS among additional districts and schools

Tourism – why is this topic thought to be one of the quickest growing at present and what are the most important factors improve its progress pace?
Prepared by: Nicolas Raymond
Oryginal: http://www.flickr.com
Improving amount of people contemporarily tend to be keen on travelling. It is proved by the fact that, first of all, increasing amount of corporations guarantee us possibilities to visit foreign countries in pretty interesting price. That's the reason why, the percentage of people, who have at least once travelled with an airplane has substantially increased during recent years. It is implied by the fact that different carriers such as for example Ryanair, Wizzair, Lufthansa etc. offer from time to time tickets in a really interesting prize.

As part of the York Cares Big Community Challenge, volunteers from Portakabin renovated and redecorated the interior of the Glen respite centre which offers short breaks for children with disabilities.
Volunteers from businesses across the City got involved in York Cares' biggest project to date, where a total of four sites across York were transformed.
A team of 25 volunteers from Portakabin joined the four-day volunteer event to renovate and redecorate the Glen respite centre which is located on Ousecliffe Gardens in Clifton.
The Glen offers children with disabilities short breaks away from home. A stay at the Glen provides children the opportunity to take part in family and community-based activities, to make new friends and to broaden their horizons. With breaks from a few hours to a few days a month, the Glen offers a safe environment for children to enjoy new and positive experiences.
The team worked up a total of 150 volunteering hours by painting children's bedrooms, the dining room, guest toilet and corridor. They will also return to the centre during a less busy period to replace bedroom carpets with vinyl flooring and hang photographs.
Local businesses assisted in the redecoration project by donating supplies. Aquatec Coatings provided more than 250 litres of paint for the walls and ceilings while Phoenix Flooring and Arnold Lavers supplied flooring and plywood respectively for the new floors. Andrew Signs provided printed photographs and Portakabin supplied photo frames and lampshades to decorate the newly renovated rooms.
Nicola Inglis, Team Leader at the Glen said, "I would like to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful people who have come and volunteered their time at the Glen. Everyone on the team was very respectful and professional; their work has made a huge difference.
"The Portakabin team probably cannot appreciate the impact that they have had and how giving six hours each of their time has enhanced the living environment of the children we support. We could not have wished for a better team to be involved with us and feel very lucky that the team chose the Glen for their project."

Queen Elizabeth has met hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people in her lifetime. But one must remember when meeting Her Majesty, there are just certain things you shouldn't do in order to avoid looking rude or offending her.
1. You shouldn't touch
Protocol says anyone meeting Queen Elizabeth for the first time should wait for her to extend her hand first. And even afterwards, contact should be kept to a minimum. That means hugs and kisses are a major no no.
2. You shouldn't be sitting
As soon as the Queen enters the room, everyone must stand to greet her and should not sit down until she does. Only then is it polite to take a rest.
3. You shouldn't just stand there
If you're a citizen of the United States, you can simply shake hands, but in Great Britain, men and women must bow or curtsy. When Angelina Jolie, who is a US citizen met the Queen, you see she did a little of all three, because it's better to be safe than sorry!
4. You shouldn't show up casual
A.k.a. dress to impress. If there's a dress code, follow it. And never, under any circumstances, show up in flip-flops, torn jeans or a super revealing outfit.
5. You shouldn't show up without a gift
Bringing a gift is a must, but it should always be appropriate for the occasion. For instance, if the Queen visits your hometown, it's common to give her something that is from there and indicative of your culture.
6. You shouldn't use nicknames
Even though you might feel like you've known the Queen your whole life, remember: she doesn't know you. When you first meet her, address her as "Your Majesty." Use "Ma'am" the rest of the time, except when you say farewell, which should be "Your Majesty" once again.
7. You shouldn't speak unless spoken to
When around the Queen, you should follow the same rule some people use for kids, which is "little children should be seen and not heard." This allows for the Queen to carry the conversation — or put it to a stop, if she so desires.
8. You shouldn't lag behind
When walking with the Queen, keep the same pace as her. This ensures you're alongside her and can introduce her as needed when moving from room to room.
9. You shouldn't eat first
It's customary that the Queen should take the first bite at the table and when she's done eating, you should be too.
10. You shouldn't slurp your tea
Since tea is huge part of the British culture, you should drink it as the Queen does. Hold the tea cup, not the cup and saucer, when at the table, and never, ever slurp as you drink.

Its been a while since our last post and it got me thinking – what makes us happy? For me, family and friends sits high up the list, socialising with those close to us is great for the soul. Following this, getting out and seeing somewhere new really ignites a fire deep down within, and whilst I cant get away at the moment it got me thinking of our January trip not long ago……
As the dawn of a new year rolls in I continually find myself day dreaming of a trip to sunnier climes. The ever present winter frost, the sun setting before I get home, the hats, gloves and scarves; all of which lead to my imagination floating back a few winters. White sandy beaches, the waves crashing upon the shore and a sunset you could watch for ever – Barbados!!! We had a week off from Rugby, I was turning 30 even Bodie was getting itchy feet to get away again : Costa Rica in the summer had given this kid the travelling bug an he was destined to spent a life in board shorts.
We played on the Saturday and flew first thing Sunday morning; the body was in bits but the flight wasn't too long, about 8 hours. However flying through the day with a young boy who recently started walking was going to be a challenge. As we have said before, we have never believed having young children should stop you getting out and seeing the world: so after numerous trips up and down the isle of the plane we finally arrived. Now anyone who has been to the Caribbean in January will tell you one thing – its is hot! Stepping off that plane from minus degrees in the UK and out into the warm Caribbean air is something to be cherished, a gentle slap in the face from the weather Gods.
We had a 8 days of long beach walks, surfs in the warm crystal blue waters and more food than you could ever imagine consuming. Each day started the same, usually around 5:30am with Bodie demanding we go and get breakfast; trying to explain to a toddler that breakfast (as well as everything else) isn't open yet is never an easy task. But when it did open, we were always the first family there. The food was incredible – bacon, eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, basically anything you could want. One thing I will miss when I retire from sport is having my breakfast / brunch made for me; one of life's little pleasures. And the VIEWS!! Drinking fresh coffee with your dearest whilst watching the sunrise over the clear turquoise Caribbean sea is something else.
We spent the week on our own beach, meeting the locals, sunbathing, swimming, surfing, all the things you dream of sitting back home in the cold. The week culminated in my birthday and the wife made sure it was one to remember. I surfed all morning at Drill Hall Beach just off the South West tip of the island in the playful waves. When I came into the beach Bodie and his mum were awaiting with the biggest chocolate cake the hotel could make – we spent the next two days offering it to anyone who would take it, due to its sheer volume.
Anyway, back to the UK and normality / reality with a bang and not only is it cold, its begun snowing outside! Although no holiday on the near horizon we are off to Morocco in the next couple of weeks on a buying trip and look forward to updating the website with some of the new products we are sure to find.

It's crucial to find a foundation you can rely on during your dark days.
What makes a good foundation? Every skin has a product that works just right to cover the specific problem zone but as a rule of the thumb, you want extreme lasting power – at the end of the day, you want to still see the foundation on your face –, weightless cover and concealing, and a natural glowing result.

Paradise Consumed: Part 3
Living in a bathroom isn't all as bad as you might think. The keyword to remember here is "living."
Paradise Consumed: Part 2
I walked down one flight of stairs to find myself something I could use as a melee weapon. Trying to push my way through the horde below was more than likely going to be a close-quarters combat situation. A few days ago, I lost the kitchen knife I had by impaling one of the undead chasing me. I was hoping that I could find something a bit more sturdy.
Paradise Consumed: Part 1
It wasn't a perfect world, but it was the only one humanity had. Humanity. That term has lost a great deal of it's meaning over the past few months. The paradise we once tried so hard to build had been consumed by the very people trying to build it.

Most people have heard of transitional rugs, but do you really know what that means? Many people think of transitional flexibility of moving from room to room or house to house, but that's not technically right. Some may be surprised to learn that transitional rug refers to the actual design. As it turns out, this "transitional" appearance is a combination of two styles: traditional and contemporary.
Lately, area rugs are all about color and easy to decorate with transitional designs that appeal to the overall comfort in a home. Area rugs are arguably the quickest and most affordable way to spruce up your space. But, where do you start in trying to find the perfect new area rug for your home?
The area rug scene is dominated by two trends: bright, imaginative and striking colors and "the neutrals"- beige, greys and taupes in transitional designs. While transitional designs offer the most design flexibility, it's your decor that will determine which colors make the most sense. For instance, if your furniture or walls are splashed with pattern and colors than a warm transitional neutral area rug will be the perfect compliment. If your decor is neutral and minimalistic than you can be more daring and innovative with your rug choice to liven up your space.
While the north gears back up for chillier weather after this month, us South Carolinians have the luxury of enjoying the outdoors for several months more. Now is the perfect time to snag outdoor area rugs at their lowest prices all year or simply find a new design to help freshen up your seasonal styles and transition the beauty of your home interiors or exteriors into the fall season.

Such was the level shown and subsequent interest and customer trials, following Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal's launch of its latest 'technology-based' AC8025P Absotech Platinum Technology surface steel turning grade inserts at MACH 2016, that the UK division is offering to supply for a period of time, a package where a total of 40 inserts from the range will be delivered when 30 are ordered. The 10 additional inserts, based on the lowest priced item on the order for AC8025Ps, will be supplied free-of-charge.
The new turning grade is based upon Sumitomo's development of Absotech Platinum Technology-a totally new boride-based titanium compound that forms an ultra-smooth surface that inhibits adhesion from the material being processed. Not only does this compound improve the insert's strength and versatility, but it also doubles the normal resistance to edge chipping, establishes a factor of controlled even tool wear and extends in-cut life.
The 'new technology' surface on the low to high carbon steel turning grade has been specially developed for finishing cuts and light interrupted cycles, but can also be applied for certain rough turning and interrupted cut tasks
Included in the availability of the insert is a new series of special chipbreakers for use with depths-of-cut between 0.5 mm and 13.5 mm. Cutting speeds can be applied between 60 and 225 m/min with feed rates between 0.1 mm and 1.15 mm.

Publisher Description
In a place where realms combine and portals open passages to the unknown, a prophecy speaks of fertility being restored to his people through the taking of King Kabril's mate.
The prophecy neglects to mention she lacks something vital to his kind—wings. Kabril, King of the Buteos Regalis has no interest in taking a human mate. His kind believes humans are dirty, vile creatures who rely on machines to lift them into the air. The last place he wants to go in search of his mate is Earth, but he's left no choice.
Never did he expect to find love on a planet with one moon, people who lack wings and a stubborn vixen who makes his heart soar. When he does, he fears the truth about who and what he truly is will steal it away. Little does he know his enemies fully intend on doing the taking.

Short and rushed
Was not too bad. It is, however, very rushed. No real connection between H/h. The story suffered for me when it jumps weeks, months at a time. We miss most of the developing relationship. I'm glad there was some humor. Help me stay with the story.
A different shifter
This was my first bird shifter book and the not just a shifter but another realm as well. I really liked that we had a very strong heroine that was not afraid to stand her ground. There was one thing that had me left wondering. The King did not want to take a wife and most definitely didn't want a human wife but then once he was on earth he was all of sudden in love and at first sight with a human woman. The story overall was good, and a very short fast read.

You need to get into what your spider control options are so that you can easily make sure your problem is cared for. Hiring the right person for the job is important, like the experts at Pest Control Sydney, and so is making sure you have the means to get your pest control problems cared for. Then you'll be pleased with how your results turn out.
Any of the spiders in your home shouldn't be dealt with if you're not aware of what they are. There are actually spiders that can harm you very badly if you're bitten, and so if you're not sure of what they are just try to get someone out right away so they can take care of your issue quickly. There are times when this may be tough because you'll just want to handle the problem yourself, but if you or a family member were to get hurt it could be costly.
Just look up pest control on a search engine site and the name of your city. Then you'll be able to see who is around your area that can offer varying options when it comes to taking care of any kind of bug or pest in your home. When looking at the varying companies you'll want to try and look into their background to see whether or not they have done good work in the past. Then if that's the case it becomes that much more easy to know you can trust in them.
There are always things you can do to make sure your problem doesn't happen again. Don't leave food out or dishes in the sink. Keep all of your food in a sealed container when you're not eating it. Simple things can really cut down on the pest problems you may be having which will be useful for you to work with when you're able to get through the varying things that are attracting pests.

"If tomorrow morning you woke up ten years younger, what would be the first thing that you would do?"
"If tomorrow morning you woke up ten years younger, what would be the first thing that you would do?"
I pondered over this for over a week trying think about it, reflect about things before writing. Assuming that I woke up today ten years younger and things didn't change, as in status quo but just me being 10 years younger. It would mean that I still have my kids, I am still living in this house, everyone else is the ten years older than me and am still a freelance work-at-home writer....?
If it means I would have a fitter body, a more alert mind and more time to make a difference in the long run, assuming that I won't go back to being 10 years older tomorrow morning?
I'll just name one thing that I will do if I was ten years younger this morning. The first thing I would do this morning would be....the same thing I would do every other morning? Make my coffee, kiss my kids, clean up, sit down in front of my computer, load my FB and check my emails?
I guess it doesn't matter how old I am this morning after all.

New boat noise regulations affect boaters on Deep Creek Lake, the Bohemia River, the Elk and Northeast Rivers and tributaries, and the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake & Delaware (C&D) Canal. The State is providing citizens with free tests to determine if their boat is within the legal limit.
The Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) will be conducting courtesy tests so boaters may determine if their vessel meets regulation guidelines.
Testing dates, times and locations are being scheduled and will be listed at dnr.state.md.us/boating/ and dnr.state.md.us/nrp/.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) established the regulations, which went into effect November 28, 2011, because of increasing citizen concern in these areas.
For the 2012 boating season, regulations prohibit boats with mufflers and muffler cut-out systems from exceeding the following noise levels.
* For engines manufactured before January 1, 1993, the noise level may not exceed 90 decibels (a).
* Those manufactured on or after January 1, 1993, the noise level may not exceed 88 decibels (a).
Boats manufactured after January 1990 must operate with a continuous muffler system and and may not operate a device that bypasses, reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of a muffler or noise suppression device or system.
The full regulation is located in COMAR 08.18.03 and may be accessed from the Maryland Division of State Documents website.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Coalition Forces killed al-Qaida terrorist leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi and one of his key lieutenants, spiritual advisor Sheik Abd-Al-Rahman, yesterday, June 7, at 6:15 p.m. in an air strike against an identified, isolated safe house.
"Tips and intelligence from Iraqi senior leaders from his network led forces to al-Zarqawi and some of his associates who were conducting a meeting approximately eight kilometers north of Baqubah when the air strike was launched.
"Iraqi police were first on the scene after the air strike, and elements of Multi-National Division North, arrived shortly thereafter. Coalition Forces were able to identify al-Zarqawi by fingerprint verification, facial recognition and known scars.
Al-Zarqawi and al-Qaida in Iraq have conducted terrorist activities against the Iraqi people for years in attempts to undermine the Iraqi national government and Coalition efforts to rebuild and stabilize Iraq. He is known to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iraqis.
Al-Zarqawi's death is a significant blow to al-Qaida and another step toward defeating terrorism in Iraq.
"Although the designated leader of al-Qaida in Iraq is now dead, the terrorist organization still poses a threat as its members will continue to try to terrorize the Iraqi people and destabilize their government as it moves toward stability and prosperity. Iraqi forces, supported by the Coalition, will continue to hunt terrorists that threaten the Iraqi people until terrorism is eradicated in Iraq."Continue reading the main story

Katrina Dawson has been remembered for her enormous intellect and achievement, but most of all her devotion to family.
More than 1000 people farewelled the 38-year-old Sydney siege victim at a memorial service at the University of Sydney on Tuesday.
"My mummy is in heaven and heaven is in my heart, so mummy will always be with me," her son Ollie's words of mourning were relayed to those gathered.
"I love you mummy.
"I am sad that you died."
A slide show played photos of Ms Dawson with her family and friends while a video showed her dancing to Pharrell's Happy with the children.
Sasha, 4, Ollie, 6, and Chloe, 8, chose three songs for the service, intended as a celebration of Ms Dawson's life.
"Please don't forget her," mother Jane said.
Husband Paul Smith said that even though she wasn't religious, he could still feel her presence.
"There may not be a God or heaven, but you are still here with us," he said.
Always a high achiever, Ms Dawson topped the state in the HSC with a 100 TER, won numerous scholarships and excelled as a barrister.
But it was her love of others that was remembered most in the hall awash with aqua lights and outfits, Ms Dawson's favourite colour.
"(She) made me want to be a wife and mother," said pregnant friend Julie Taylor, who was also a hostage in the 16-hour Lindt Cafe siege last week.
Tears flowed while Ms Taylor read a poem from Ms Dawson to her husband on their wedding day.
"I want to laugh with your joy, to cry with your tears, to ache with your pain, and mostly just to be there for you and there with you, living our lives together," Ms Dawson wrote.
The mother-of-three enjoyed baking cakes, dressing up for parties and social sports.
She was fluent in French, a qualified ski instructor and Pictionary master.
In a holiday prank, Ms Dawson's language skills got her brother Sandy in trouble when he told an Italian woman at the Post Office she had beautiful breasts, instead of asking for stamps.
Former NSW Governor Quentin Bryce said Ms Dawson's life was inspiring.
"I observed her sensitive to those affected by disadvantage," Dame Quentin said of their time together in the Women's College at the university.
Dame Quentin is the founding member of the Katrina Dawson Foundation, aimed at helping educate women.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott and his wife Margaret attended the service along with siege survivor John O'Brien.

I've had dogs on my mind today. I really want one - I had promised myself one for my 40th (a pug) but I resisted temptation. I'm not going to get one, because I don't know what my work situation will be in the new year so I wouldn't want to leave one alone for hours on end. (Believe me I know what it's like to be in this house alone for hours on end!)
When I did an illustration course with Pam, I was developing a book for young children about dogs (Thin dog, fat dog, hiding-from-the-cat dog...etc...). But darn that Emily Gravett! She went and did one! (And very nice it is too.) Serves me right for being so slow...not that it would have been published anyway, but, you know. Anyway here are a couple of sketchbook pages from said non-project.
At the bottom next to the pug is Scruffy, who my friends and family might remember as my former parents-in-laws' dog. He was so kind and gentle and still features in a lot of my drawings, even though he died over ten years ago.
I've had trouble getting the pics to enlarge when you click on them. I don't understand why and my hunchback hurts too much to try again. If anyone knows the answer to this mystery, do let me know.

Risk Assessments
Each part of the organizations infrastructure should be assessed for its risk profile. The process of performing such a risk assessment can be quite complex and should take into account secondary and other effects of action (or inaction) when deciding how to address security for the various IT resources. Each organization is different, so the decision as to what kind of risk assessment should be performed depends largely on the specific organization.
A comprehensive enterprise security risk assessment should be conducted every year to explore the risks associated with the organization's information systems.

"Suspect Under Arrest For The 2015 Murder Of Rapper Chinx!"
"NBA YoungBoy Goes Off On His Friend For Getting His Chain Stolen"
Studio Session- Lil Durk, Young Thug, Lil Duke & Mike Will Made It
Fetty Wap Reportedly Arrested Again
MUSICDRAMATV | Entertainment Celebrity Gossip News Updates Music Videos
Fetty Wap has found himself on the receiving end of over fifteen charges, including "reckless endangerment, illegal speed contest, operating a motor vehicle with .08, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, motor vehicle license violation. unsafe lane change, following too close, illegal signal, driving while alcohol impaired, and four counts of a speed violation." Yikes. The reports state that Fetty was going 100 MPH in a 50 zone.
Apparently, Fetty was speeding down the Gowanus Expressway in New Jersey in a black 2012 Mercedes CLS AMG. Investigators claim that the rapper was clearly racing another vehicle, and managed to pull him over. Fetty proceeded to hand officers an expired license, and he was subsequently hit with a sobriety test, which he failed after blowing a .09. To confirm, they had him do another sobriety test at the precinct, which he also failed.
Unfortunately for the Trap Queen rapper, he will end up being arraigned in Brooklyn later today. This arrest mars an otherwise successful autumn run for Fetty, who recently blessed fans with a mixtape titled For My Fans 2. And while they're still waiting patiently on the rapper's full length King Zoo album, Fetty will have his hands full with another baby on the way. A few weeks back, it was revealed that Fetty Wap and Love And Hip-Hop star Alexis Skyy would be expecting a child. Admittedly, Fetty Wap made a dumb decision to drive drunk, let alone drag race, but it's sad to think of another child growing up with their father behind bars. Stay tuned for more developments on Fetty Wap's arrest as they emerge.

2016 Medicare Costs to Rise Drastically (for some)
Some people will see a dramatic increase in Part B premiums and deductibles for Medicare in 2016…but then it is expected to drop back to "normal" levels in 2017.
For seven in 10 Medicare beneficiaries 2016 will be much like 2015. They will pay $104.90 per month for their Medicare Part B premium just as they did in 2015.
But 2016 might not be anything like 2015 for some 30% of Medicare beneficiaries — roughly 7 million or so Americans. That's because premiums for individuals could increase a jaw-dropping 52% to $159.30 per month ($318.60 for married couples). And for individuals whose incomes exceed certain thresholds, premiums could rise to anywhere from $223.00 per month up to $509.80 (or $446 to $1,019.60 for married couples), depending on their incomes.
See if this will affect you: Read the full article from USA Today
If you have a Medicare Supplement Plan F or C you will be particularly affected by this because they are also raising the Part B deductible for some people to $223 (from the current $147). Plans F and C pay that deductible so the insurance companies will be looking to offload that additional cost to the consumer by raising premiums. We've already seen some Plan F premium spikes due to this announcement. This is one of the reasons I prefer Plan G or N over F.

The End of the Year As We Know It
And I feel fine?
I guess I don't, mostly because of the tragedy in the Indian Ocean nations. It makes it hard to look back at the "top albums" or "best movies" or "worst dressed celebrity" of 2004 when you realize - with the help of hourly footage from news crews - just how ridiculous most of our temporal existence actually is.
I haven't blogged much recently. New job and all. Busy time of year. Not much of value to say.
I have had the time to slow down a little. Cami and I have watched a bunch of movies that were on our "we should see that when it comes out on DVD" or "that's a Marvel Comic movie adaptation and to comply with an oath I made as a 15 year old comic book fan, I must own it" lists.
Christmas was low-key, for the most part. Midnight Mass was beautiful and helped me center myself on the Holiday. I was reminded that last year, at the exact same time, I was sitting in a corner of the side aisles of St. Lawrence church, weeping throughout the entire Mass. This year, though there was still sadness because of my grandmother's physical condition, there was more peace because my grandfather and mother were in a much improved living condition which has brought more stability and calmness to the holiday.
The choir sounded beautiful, singing for a half-hour before the Mass and throughout the service in a way that transcended the individuals involved. Cami says it is the choir's own band of guardian angels that actually do the singing that those of us in the church hear. It is the only explanation for how such a relatively small group can sound so full.
Overall it has been a good few weeks, though I'm still a bit overwhelmed at St. Joan. I don't like not being able to adequately analyze a situation, and I still can't do that with much of the finances. I have 12 bank accounts that I am responsible for, but have no ability to access the information I need from them. I have spent, literally, 6 to 8 hours physically sitting in the bank trying to get accounts set up in a way that I can access and evaluate them, and I'm not a whole lot closer today than I was three weeks ago. There are seven of the twelve accounts that I don't even know the balances for!
I hope next week, with the bankers actually working a regular shift, I can finally get some of this sorted out.
Probably the last for the year…
Happy New Year, dear readers.

You may have started with some motivation that may no longer be there over time. However, you may not want such to happen and, therefore, have to look for ways to ensure that the fatigue is not there. You need to view here for more info on ways you can do away with the budget fatigue that you may be facing.
You need to consider finding fun alternatives in your life. Therefore, for this to be possible, a lifestyle change may be a necessity. You may be one who was used to have an extravagant life and lots of luxury. You need to ensure that you substitute your lavish and extravagant life for something that does not require all that money but is still quite fun. For instance, when you are one who is used to going out for movies and on different lavish restaurants to eat, you may consider getting nice movies and watching at your home while you make the food at home.
Cutting of additional expenses may be something that you may have to consider doing. You need to ensure that the costs you eliminate are those that will not have any impact in your life when done away with. Instead of taking your clothes out for laundry, you may have to consider washing them using your hands to mitigate such costs. Save on gas money when going for long distance travels by busing public transportation to get that done. You may also be in lots of tax debts and your credit card may not have been dated and this may be eliminated when you hire the tax relief services.

Aqueductsby Lightyear - Jam Entry
Goal: Bring water from the lake to the town by connecting them via aqueducts.
- Path from lake (blue tile) to town (orange tile) must be complete (a closed circuit). You don't want to lose water!
- Your workers are lazy and have placed down too many aqueduct parts. Not all tiles will always be used.
- Lakes are stationary, so they cannot be turned.
- Some lakes can service multiple towns.
- There should be only one way to solve each level.
** IF YOU FIND A PUZZLE THAT HAS MORE THAN ONE WAY OF SOLVING IT: Please tweet it to me at @Lyzzi_Lightyear! (https://twitter.com/Lyzzi_Lightyear)
I'm going to keep developing this! If you want to see new additions since LD, check out: http://test-aqueducts.herokuapp.com/
Made with Phaser.io by Lyzzi Brooks and Adam Marchetti

Good game. Nothing too original, but nice take on the theme. The puzzles are well designed and I liked the art.
Classic game, with good graphics. I like the paper/pixel art effect on the background.
Sometimes the level does not validate when there is a correct water path though.
+1 for using Phaser ;)
Finish ! Good classic vibe.
A nice little addition would be to have water in the tiles only if they are connected to the lake.
And on the first level with all the 5x5 tiles, there is another right solution but it won't validate it.
Nice concept, I see someone got a similar idea as I did ;) The mechanic is simple but allows nice puzzles, the graphics and sound effects are on point. A solid and fun puzzle game, well done!
Nice art and simple gameplay, good ingredients for a game
Simple but efficient - et j'aime bien le pont du Gard :)
Great work!
Nice puzzle game! Congratulations!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it'll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you're a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn't support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it's an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that's okay. It happens. We're flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like "porting" to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN'T SHOW UP: If you can't find your game, it's usually because the URL to your downloads are missing 'http://'. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it's because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload". This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.

According to Bodybuilding.com, the number one reason most people work out is to attract the opposite sex. Admittedly, it's one of the top 10 shallow reasons, but you know it's true. However, the Huffington Post reveals that those who are searching for a special someone in their lives are really looking to fill an empty space, have companionship, and feel loved. Without going off on a psychology tangent about how a person needs to master being happy with themselves before they can have a successful relationship with another human, let's consider that a pet can fill that need for love, with the added bonus of improving your health.
Right out of the gate, if you are unquestionably not an animal person, then, no, you shouldn't have a pet any more than a person who doesn't like children should have a child. However, if you don't mind having an animal around and are open to exploring how one could improve your life, you're in for a surprising treat. Owning a pet provides numerous health-related benefits, starting with fitness but including mental, emotional, and even financial health as well.
Fitness Benefits From Pets
Even if you opt for a pocket pooch who doesn't need a large yard to exercise, she'll still love to go for walkies. She needs to sniff all the exciting smells and "mark" her territory to let other dogs know she was there. The side benefit is that you both get some cardio exercise. If you're not a "dog person," that's OK. More and more cat lovers are walking their felines and enjoying it. Yeah, it will require some training, but it will provide a new way to spend quality time with your cat while incorporating exercise into your life.
General Physical Health Perks
Researchers found that heart attack patients who were also pet owners had a tendency to survive longer than patients who didn't have pets. It's been speculated that may be partially due to pets helping their owners stay active, but there are other cardiovascular effects of owning a dog, cat or other animals. Pet owners have lower blood pressure, lower serum triglycerides and elevated levels of calming chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. It's not all about dogs, either. Web MD reports that cat owners have fewer strokes than their cat-less counterparts. Researchers admit to not having pinned down a reason for their findings but think that cats are more soothing and calming than other animals in some instances.
Let go of the old wives' tales that warn that it's unhealthy to have pets in the home, especially homes with children. Health reports that growing up with pets actually improve kids' respiratory health (studies have revealed that pets actually decrease colds and allergies by up to 50 percent in children and babies)–and pets even help reduce children's risk of obesity. Web MD also says that children who live with traditional pets such as dogs and cats have higher levels of specific immune system chemicals that strengthen their immunity overall.
Mental and Emotional Bennies
A study by the American Psychological Association highlights how pets positively affect their people. Among the findings were that pet owners
- have better self-esteem
- are less likely to suffer from depression
- are less lonely
- are less fearful
Also, pet owners tend to have fewer doctor visits — up to 30 percent fewer — and are more physically fit. The mental health benefits of owning a dog are essentially the same for owners of any type of pet, even though you interact with different animals differently. For example, HelpGuide.org reveals that watching fish has been shown to lower pulse rates and reduce muscle tension.
Surprising Health Benefits of Owning a Pet
Watching puppies and/or kittens play is better entertainment than cable TV. Your pets will give you a reason to get up in the morning, will be thrilled to see you when you get home and will never, ever bogart the remote or leave the milk sitting on the counter. They'll lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, provide a fun way to exercise, and will love you even if you wear your favorite tattered pair of sweats all weekend without passing judgment. Pets may even help you meet that special someone, as pet owners tend to be more approachable and more social. An added bonus is dogs' and cats' — and sometimes other types of pets' — remarkable ability to detect health problems. According to Wellbridge, researchers believe that dogs' superior sense of smell alerts them to changes in their humans' body chemistry that indicate cancer, oncoming seizures, and dangerous variations in blood glucose levels. What's more, cats have been known to alert their people to cancer. These weren't simple cases of exterior melanomas, either. Cats are detecting lung tumors, breast cancer, and other complex cancers buried deep inside the body. Score one more for the benefits of owning a pet.
