Speaker Gillam expects GOP gains in House, Arkansas Works budget battle
Arkansas Speaker of the House Jeremy Gillam, R-Judsonia, is worried about the additional costs coming with Arkansas Works and stressed that federal waivers to allow the state more flexibility are key.
Last week when new data showed that Arkansas' Medicaid expansion private option program – soon to become Arkansas Works – enrolled or made eligible more than 300,000 citizens, State Sen. Jim Hendren, R-Gravette, said, "The entire Affordable Care Act is on a trajectory that is unsustainable."
Gillam, appearing on this week's Talk Business & Politics, agreed.
"I think the numbers are telling that story," he said. Gillam hopes that Arkansas Department of Human Services director Cindy Gillespie's plans to rein in Medicaid costs can curb the looming budget pressure that the state will incur once it starts picking up more of the tab for Medicaid costs.
"I think with the five-year plan she's working on – both to address Arkansas Works and that population and the Medicaid population as a whole – I think we're going to be able to see some things over the next year or two come from there that will be able to help us go against this trend in a positive way," said Gillam.
It is too early in the budget process to make definitive determinations as to the future of the healthcare program, the Speaker said, but he warned that there was a threshold where an inevitable decision may have to be made.
"At some point, this is just math. We have to make our budget work, we have to live within our means," he said. "My hope is that we're going to have a collaborative relationship with the federal government on these waivers, so I'm going to withhold any kind of predictions or anything at this point, but they [the feds] need to be cognizant of the math just like we have to be."
Arkansas is waiting for the federal government to determine if it can have more flexibility in its Medicaid expansion program through federal waivers that partially include:
- Requiring individuals eligible for Medicaid to enroll in employer-sponsored insurance where available, with Medicaid covering employees' costs that would exceed Medicaid levels and providing benefits not covered by the insurance.
- Implementing work training referral requirements with a continued discussion with President Obama's administration on specific work requirements.
- Requiring premium payments for beneficiaries with incomes above 100% of the federal poverty level, with a consideration of contributions for those with incomes above 50%.
- Restricting coverage or requiring greater cost sharing by individuals with substantial assets.
- Eliminating the current retroactive eligibility that allows new beneficiaries to be covered for expenses incurred 90 days before they were enrolled.
Speaker Gillam also said he expects to see Republican gains in the Arkansas House of Representatives after the November election. Currently, there are 64 GOP members, 35 Democrats and one Independent.
Gillam side-stepped predicting the final total of Republicans and Democrats.
"I'm looking at it more district-by-district versus the totality at this point. We want [as many] good, solid representatives coming into Little Rock that have a mindset for policy, that are interested in moving the state forward," he said. "From my perspective where we're at right now, and looking at the map, I think that will lead to us having more Republicans."
The Speaker of the House is also one of the few elected officials in Arkansas to disavow support for GOP Presidential nominee Donald Trump. Two weeks ago after the release of the damaging Access Hollywood video with Trump discussing groping women and getting away with it because he's famous, Gillam went on the record saying, "Although I have not been a supporter of Mr. Trump in the past, I have remained hopeful that he would give me a reason to vote for my party's nominee. I no longer have that hope. I believe he should withdraw from the race immediately."
Gillam reiterated his opposition to Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, while saying he currently will cast his vote for conservative independent Evan McMullin, who was a guest on TB&P in late August.
"Even since then, with the way that he [Trump] has responded to issues and even through the final debate, I'm just not at a place that I feel comfortable in giving my vote to him," Gillam said. "Right now, I like what I'm seeing from Mr. McMullin."
Gillam also said Trump's assertion that the election is "rigged" is also a misnomer. The Speaker said while human error and small glitches may occur, there is no widespread voter fraud.
"I don't think so… we're in good shape in Arkansas."

AuSM hires two new therapists
In order to meet demand for counseling services, AuSM is pleased to announce an expansion of its AuSM Counseling and Consulting Services (ACCS) team.
"Nearly every day we hear from families and individuals who are looking for a mental health professionals who understand autism," AuSM executive director Jonah Weinberg said. "While there are quite a few providers who are experienced working with younger children, many are at a loss when it comes to working with adolescents and adults."
The demand for diagnosis, testing, and counseling services has grown significantly in recent years. Weinberg said AuSM is responding to this need by hiring additional mental health providers.
"We've recently added two qualified, dedicated therapists who make it possible for us to serve more clients and offer new services, while maintaining the levels of care and compassion for which AuSM therapists have set the standard."
Weinberg added that autism itself is not a mental illness, but that many individuals with the diagnosis struggle to navigate social and societal norms, and that this struggle can lead to depression, anxiety, or other co-occurring challenges. With the addition of these therapists, AuSM is not only able to offer additional mental health counseling, but also testing services to help individuals understand their diagnosis better.
The following therapists are joining AuSM's ACCS team:
Amy Carrison, PsyD, LADC and Jennifer S. Reinke, PhD, LAMFT, CFLE, now are meeting with clients, offering flexible scheduling, and bringing new services to ACCS, including IQ, emotion recognition, and adaptive functioning testing for individuals with autism.
After completing her doctorate of psychology at St. Mary's University of Minnesota, Dr. Carrison is completing a postdoctoral fellowship with AuSM. She has experience in psychological assessment and testing with the goal of providing individuals with targeted interventions to overcome areas of need. In addition to her work at AuSM, Dr. Carrison teaches courses at Saint Mary's University – Rochester Campus. Dr. Carrison has been licensed in Minnesota as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor since 2002 and has worked in a variety of substance abuse treatment settings with both adults and adolescents.
Dr. Reinke has worked with individuals and families affected by autism for more than 10 years in community living, agency, school, and home settings throughout the Twin Cities, Houston, Denver, and, most recently, South Africa. Though a diagnosis of an intellectual or developmental disability, such as autism, tends to be given to an individual, Dr. Reinke strongly believes that such diagnoses affect the entire family – including the parent-child relationship, couple relationship, sibling relationship, as well as relationships with extended family. She strives to work with families to acknowledge the unique joys, rewards, and challenges that autism brings to their lives, and identify possible solutions that will serve to strengthen their family unit.
Drs. Carrison and Reinke join AuSM's existing ACCS team: Barbara Luskin, PhD, MA; Sara Pahl, BS, BCaBA, NCC; and Beth Pitchford, MA. Collectively, AuSM's therapists bring more than 80 years experience of serving individuals with autism. Click here to learn more about ACCS and AuSM's therapists.

Planning a wedding is a stressful time in anyone's life, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. Having an outdoor wedding, for instance, is a great way to cut down on a lot of the stressful aspects of wedding planning. More and more people are deciding to have outdoor wedding ceremonies now. A helpful tip to ease the wedding planning process is to rent all the necessary wedding items. Renting all your wedding equipment can allow you to have top-of-the-line quality equipment for a beautiful wedding without having to worry about actually purchasing, owning, and storing each item. Here are some ways to rent that perfect outdoor wedding this year.
Wedding Tent Rentals
Rather than have all your wedding guests outside and hope that the weather complies (which it rarely does), consider renting a high-quality wedding tent. The easiest way to ruin an outdoor wedding is to have everyone standing around as a rainstorm passes. With a large tent providing shelter, however, it'll just make for some interesting background noise as the beautiful ceremony carries on.
Outdoor Dance Floor Rental
Dance floor rentals are an essential part of having a successful outdoor wedding. Even though there is plenty of space to dance on the grass, it's just not the same. An outdoor dance floor rental will allow you and your guests to get your boogie on and really make the night memorable.
Chair, Table, and Tent Accessories Rentals
In addition to renting the major items like a large tent and a dance floor, renting the smaller stuff is great, too. You don't want to have to stress about more than already are during the wedding. So having all the smaller items like tables, chairs, and tent accessories taken care of will help ease your mind and allow you to focus on the what's really important: enjoying yourself on this special day.
Sure, planning a wedding can often feel overwhelming and can be an extremely stressful process. But if you plan ahead of time, consider renting all the necessary items, and give yourself a break once in a while, you're going to do great and have a wonderful wedding ceremony to look forward to.

The city of Lovat is dying. It just doesn't know it yet. Trapped behind blockades, its citizens starve. Only the wealthiest can afford to snatch up what food does slip through, leaving the poor jostling for scraps. But money only goes so far. Inside their gleaming towers, the well-fed elevated are being killed off one-by-one.
Caravan Master Waldo Bell—only a few months removed from the harrowing events along the Broken Road—just wants to keep his head down and be left alone while he waits for the blockades to break. But when familiar symbols written in blood appear at a crime scene and an old debt comes calling, Wal finds himself thrust into chaos.
Now, forced onto Lovat's blood-soaked upper levels, Wal faces his most dangerous challenge yet: within a city on the verge of self-destruction, he must fight to save not only his own life—but the life of every Lovatine struggling below.

text: Bend and Lincoln City Blog 2017 March Isaac Ersoff Representing Special Education Student in Negligence Suit Previous Post | Isaac Ersoff Representing Special Education Student in Negligence Suit Posted By Andrews Ersoff & Zantello LLC || 30-Mar-2017 One of our lawyers at Andrews Ersoff & Zantello, Isaac Ersoff, is co-counsel for a 4-year-old special education student in a negligence suit against the Tillamook County School District. The bus driver, Gwen Russell, picked up the child from home at 7:30 a.m. for a ride to Head Start. Russell then dropped off all the other students and never stopped at Head Start at all, instead parking the bus at the district transportation department's bus barn for repairs. The 4-year-old was left in the back of the bus at about 8:15 a.m., confined inside the bus and strapped into the car seat. The child was both asleep and unsupervised for at least another hour. The school never notified the student's mother, Laura Pozos Leon, that her child was missing. It wasn't until Leon showed up at Head Start for a scheduled student field trip at about 9:10 a.m. that she understood her child had never arrived at school. Leon immediately called the bus driver from Head Start and demanded to know what had happened. The driver responded with alarm, rushing to check on the child, who was still confined inside the parked bus. Russell was supposed to check the entire bus for any children, belongings, and for cleanliness before leaving the bus parked after the morning route. She was also expected to leave a marker inside the windshield to indicate the check had been done. However, the driver had done neither. Russell admitted to the police that she had forgotten the child was there and had neglected procedures. The lawsuit names Northwest Regional Education Service District, Community Action Team Inc., Tillamook Head Start, Gwen Russell, Jay Marugg (the transportation and maintenance supervisor for the Tillamook County School District), and Tillamook County School Superintendent Randy Schild as defendants. The suit was filed partly to ensure the protection of students while under the care of public officials and seeks economic damages for medical, therapy, and other expenses. It also seeks non-economic damages for pain and suffering and punitive damages.

To me, writing something – anything – is like putting together a 1000-piece puzzle. Without the picture on the box.
I start with a table full of tiny images, in a jumble. When I dump them on the table, they don't look like anything but a pile of individual pieces. It's not clear how they fit together. And the task looks impossible.
My first step is to scatter them all over so I can see each one. Pick apart the pile. Then I start to sort them. Like color with like color. Like pattern with like pattern. Even though they still don't look like anything, I start to see images emerging. I start to feel how they might go together.
My second step is obvious: build the framework. It's easier to find the pieces that fit along the edges, the ones that will house all the others. An outline. A structure for everything else to fall within.
And then I start to assemble the pieces. Individual words become phrases. Phrases become sentences. Sentences become paragraphs. The paragraphs begin to fit together and a picture starts to emerge. After a while, it starts to become more obvious where the loose, individual pieces should go. It starts to look like a whole.
The more you assemble, the more evident the picture is. And eventually, the clarity and beauty of the whole will emerge.
The only difference I can see between putting together a puzzle and putting together a piece of writing is that the writing is never done. Admit it, writers: if you could, you'd just keep taking out a few of those pieces and swapping them around to change the picture. Forever. Even if every piece was in the box and each fit into place.
It's probably how that original artist felt, too, before someone carved the picture into a 1000 pieces and put it in the box to taunt the rest of us.

by Reb Gutman Locks at Mystical Paths
-The Alter Rebbe said to be very careful when we pray. He warned us not
to do one specific thing when we pray, and he told us why we should not do it.
It sounds like the Alter Rebbe interprets the Sages' saying "the gates of tears were never locked" differently than the common, simple meaning.
Do you know by any chance what his interpretation is?
To Dan G:
"We were like grasshoppers in our eyes, and so we were in their eyes...the people wept that night." (Bamidbar 13:33, 14:1)
The Kotzker Rebbe, z.l., explains that this was one of their sins. It is one thing to be bothered by their own lake of self-image, but why should they care what the pagans thought of them?
This criticism remains with us to this very day. We are bothered by what others think of us. Why? We have a mission to accomplish in this world - to serve Hashem and be His emissaries to the world community. This position demands that we act in a manner becoming Hashem's People. Why would we be concerned with what others think of us - unless we are so wrapped up in ourselves that we determine our success or failure by the yardstick of public opinion. The only opinion that counts is Hashem's. Those who cannot see beyond themselves have a serious problem. Evidently, the meraglim suffered from this myopia.
The self-centered feelings evinced by the spies ostensibly also characterized Klal Yisrael. Their response to the lander of the spies was fear and depression - unfounded and unwarranted fear and depression. They wept that night. Oh, how they wept. It was bechiyah shel chinam, crying for nothing. It is foolish to cry when there is no reason to cry.
Chazal tells us that "shaarei damaos lo ninalu," the gates of tears are never closed. This means that through tears one can penetrate the Heavens and implore Hashem's mercy. One may ask: if the gates are always open, why are tears necessary? A door is placed to lock something out; why is a door necessary if it is always open?
Harav Bunim, M'Peshischa, z.l., explains that these gates exist to prevent tears of fools, tears that are for naught, from entering. When people cry for no justifiable reason, they are taking a special gift from the Almighty and abusing it. Klal Yisrael's over-reaction on that fateful night lives with us to this very day. That night, which happened to be Tishah B'Av. The Talmud (Taanit 28a) states that Hashem said to Benei Yisrael, "You wept without reason, I will provide you with a weeping for generations." This refers to Tishah B'Av when both Betei Mikdash were destroyed. The ninth of Av became a time of national mourning, for it was the precursor to the exile that continues to this day.
Hashem repays unreasonable, unjustified weeping and all overactive expressions of grief and worry by giving us a reason for crying, by creating situations in which our worry will be justified.
- Peninim on the Torah by Rabbi A. L. Sheinbaum
What made me curious was that Reb Gutman seems to imply that the Alter Rebbe didn't object only to unjustified weeping, but to any weeping at all. Well, maybe I got him wrong.ReplyDelete
You Are Affected By Your Actions In a letter from the Tzemach Tzedek discussing fear, it says:
"A person should always display happiness in his body movements, because the heart is drawn according to one's actions… and then Hashem will draw down a spirit from Above of joy and gladness of heart.
"I heard from the Alter Rebbe in Piena that this is what the Maggid said on the verse, 'Like the appearance of a sapphire, and on the image of the chair was the image of a person..' - according to how a person acts down here is what he will be shown from Above.
That is why (the Alter Rebbe) stopped me from singing a niggun that was mara sh'chora (gloomy). I davened Ma'ariv before his death with a niggun of mara sh'chora, and he waited until I finished and told me this."
The Rebbe related this on Shabbos Parshas Shemos 5719, 22 Shevat, and then said, "Zol men zein b'simcha, vet men milmaaleh oich vizen aza tenua"
(Be happy , for then from Above there will be a similar response).
"Push an undesirable thought away with both hands." the Alter Rebbe, first Rebbe of Chabad
"Know that everything above" - all that transpires in the spiritual realm - is "from you," [dependent on your conduct]." The Maggid of Mezeritch
"When man below is of a "radiant countenance" and filled with joy and gladness, he then draws down upon himself the same qualities from Above." Zohar (II, p. 184b)
"Joy breaks through barriers." The Rebbe
"Joy breaks through all the boundaries of golus (exile). "The Rebbe
"Blessed is he who puts his trust in G-d, for G-d will be his security." (Jeremiah 17:7)
"Nothing stands in the way of a person's will." -- The Talmud
"In the sixth century of the sixth millennium, the gates of supernal wisdom will be opened, as will the springs of earthly wisdom, preparing the world to be elevated in the seventh millennium." Zohar
"And the world will be filled with the knowledge of G-d like water covers the ocean bed." (Isaiah 11:9)
Serve G-d with joy; come before him in celebration (Psalm 100)
"Prophecy cannot rest on a person when he is sad and languid, but only when he is happy." Rambam, Mishneh Torah
Thanks for all the beautiful quotes.
Though my question still feels unanswered - what is the Alter Rebbe's attitude towards the Sages' saying about the gates of tears. Especially when those tears come from the bottom of a longing, yearning heart.
There are two kinds of tears. Tears of sadness and tears of recognition. The first lead one on a downward spiral to depression, G-d forbid. The second leaves one in action to correct the situation and one's own perceived shortfalling, a kind of Responsible bitterness that spurs one to do what it takes to not have this outcome again. I like to think of the latter as tears of Teshuvah. and the return to HaShem has 4 R's and an A: Recognition, Remorse, Regret, Resolve (for the future), Action.ReplyDelete
You can tell which one has by the outcome, inaction or action. The gate of tears from the bottom of a longing, yearning heart is a gate to action and a new beginning and a new future.ReplyDelete

Hardware Is Hard, But It Doesn't Have to Be
Creators walk through the nitty gritty of product development at CES
Hardware Studio Live took the expertise of independent hardware creators to the CES floor, sharing not just what cool new tech is out there, but the nuts and bolts of how it gets made. Here's what four makers had to say about what to look out for when it comes to getting your hardware startup from dream idea to a real life product:
Creator: Omri Yoffe, CEO
Product: Lifebeam, an artificial intelligence personal trainer for your body and mind
On creating hardware for "the Olympics of hardware" – wearables: "We went through probably hundreds of versions—and I'm not kidding. We started with a very different form factor and ended up with this current one." Yoffe said each one of those were to adapt to not only the difficulty of designing something for comfort in a multidimensional environment—the human ear—but not sacrificing accuracy and data for that comfort. The takeaway? A smart design process and a willingness to prototype—a lot.
On picking the right manufacturing partner: "We had three main battles that we fought: hardware, software and content. I think the most brutal battle was hardware because we were creating something that no one else had ever created." This is a battle many creators face, but Yoffe said the key was having a partner you could trust with open communication to manage the process. "We created a very tight relationship with our manufacturing team. I think the key guideline I would give to makers is to have an in-house understanding of what's being made on the outside. You're not just delegating things and waiting for them to fall together in two months."
Creator: Dr. Mike Butera, CEO
Product: Artiphon, a digital multi-instrument (one instrument that can be played as many)
On picking the right sensors: "There were a few design challenges with the sensors. One was basic sensitivity … the ergonomics and the haptics of the interface overlay were a big deal to us, and then having the sensor respond to that. The next step is pressure sensitivity, getting a dynamic range in there so it's what your fingers want to do. It's all about connecting human anatomy through the technology," according to Butera. He said that they had to be flexible, using certain products that were customarily saved for wearables in order to make their project work.
On shifting from prototyping to scalable manufacturing: "One of the unique things about this is that we spent about four years of R&D on this prior to launching. We went through about seven prototype generations from industrial design and interface. We progressively got much closer to it. We were still doing 3D printing and soft molds for the Kickstarter launch but we were working with manufacturers to figure out what was possible." Many projects work with 3D printed pieces and then have to be remade in order to scale. Focusing on scalability early helped Artiphon succeed.
Creators: Bruce Shapiro, CEO and Micah Roth, COO
Product: Sisyphus, a kinectic art sculpture embedded into a table
On how communities can help get products to market: "As soon as I joined this maker space, everyone said, 'You have to meet Micah.'" Shapiro talked about maker spaces and how bringing his experience with merging machinery and artwork with Micah's technical knowledge helped really make this a product that could actually be launched in market. Leveraging a community of individuals whether in person or online can help not only validate an idea but also give you new partners or initial backers as a support system through the product development process.
On having to scale—fast—when demand outpaced supply: "We spent a few years in the maker space prototyping iteration over iteration in the maker space. Then we started thinking about making a hundred of those," Micah said. But when they got to Kickstarter, the order went from 100 to 1,500—the most successful art project ever on the platform. "That drastically changed our plans … When you get a surprising response you weren't suspecting, your plans on how to fulfill needs to change." Having backup plans and second sourcing for parts of the technology were crucial to changing the scale of what needed to be produced. Although Sisyphus did this post-launch, a thorough design review can help give you those plans ahead of time.

What's Your Plan?
A good IT plan not only supports your strategic goals, but is part of them.
Technology plans are like politicians: short on substance, long on prose, and unlikely to do what they're supposed to do.
As I cover chief information officer duties here in addition to my daily game of "What's the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund charging us this time?" I watch what others do on the systems front.
|James Collins is Credit Union Magazine's humor columnist.
Are they doing things that support a grand, overall plan? Or is it as chaotic and random as a teenager shopping in the junk food aisle?
One problem with many information technology (IT) plans is that they aren't based on the organization's needs, but rather are continuations of old practices. Many plans fall into one of these categories (any of these sound familiar?):
- The IT-centric plan. You've segmented your membership into two distinct groups: those who understand computers and those too stupid to understand. Frankly, the term "bleeding edge" makes you scoff. You're in a new realm—bloodier than "Friday the 13th, Part 17: Jason's Retirement Party."
- The IT-what plan. While your strategic plan prominently mentions information technology in a short, five-word sentence last updated in 1985, you basically take things as they come. You're flexible, adaptive and, on a day-to-day basis, relatively invisible.
- The IT-never-ever plan. Your motto: "If they won't quit unless you do it, then don't do it." For you, every technological advancement after the rotary phone was a waste. After all, people are comfortable with what they know, right? This is why you still own your 1973 AMC Gremlin.
- The IT-copycat. Your plan for next year is to emulate whatever the heck USAA/ING developed this year. Vendors treat your office as a vacation destination, and you've started ordering business cards by the gross. Ideas for next year? Wait…let's see what everyone else is doing.
- The IT-never-finished plan. Your implementation methodology mimics a squirrel on crack. With the debris from unfinished projects littering the landscape like an abandoned housing development, groups are reluctant to add any more to your overloaded plate.
A good IT plan not only supports your strategic goals, but is part of them. Take, for instance, USAA.
Personally, I'm a member of USAA, thanks to my father and his 20 years in the Air Force—dragging us from Iceland to Boston in an apparently successful attempt to drive my mother mad. Indeed, USAA's online systems are well done. But remember one thing—they must be.
USAA is a wonderfully convenient bank, as long as you live within 10 miles of Fort Worth, Texas. But with its membership (active and retired military) spread to all corners of the earth, USAA made a strategic decision to use technology to overcome its obvious geographical handicap.
Indeed, USAA's strategic plan is uniquely its own. Given its chosen market, USAA has implemented a wide range of technology and business practices—from remote deposit services to ATM fee reimbursements—meant to make the bank "less" inconvenient. In short, its technology plan was adapted to achieve its overall business plan.
A technology plan should focus on overcoming obstacles and achieving strategic goals. For example:
- Does your credit union's lack of branches make it inconvenient? Consider shared branching and remote deposit products.
- Is the credit union too slow for members? Core system enhancements and automated loan systems can speed things up.
- Does the regulatory burden consume too much staff time? Automated systems can lessen the load.
With the industry evolving through an unprecedented era of change, your credit union must examine every function to see if its direction is critical to meeting strategic goals.

Fiber Internet may be in my future but not my immediate future. My ISP, PLDT, isn't making things easy for me. I didn't expect any issues when I wrote about getting a fiber connection in June. Other than being told it isn't available on my street yet, that is.
When my daughter-in-law, Cathy, was at their local office dealing with my disconnection in May, a PLDT customer service representative told her it was available here. I have no way of verifying if that is even true.
To understand my predicament, I have to explain that every house number after a twist in the road is exactly the same. My in-laws have lived on their property (which is actually mine) since 1988. It was a dirt road back then, when it wasn't muddy from rain. The house number for all these houses is still the same.
When I order something from Lazada or Cathy orders food for delivery from Jollibee, we have to tell them it's the house at the end of the road or they will never find us.
I applied for fiber Internet online, just so I could be sure it was available on this street. Instead of approving or disapproving it, a customer service representative from the Manila office called me for information.
The representative asked me if I knew a particular person. I replied that I didn't. He then said I needed to give them a notarized statement of denial for that person. I tried to explain about the house number situation but he wouldn't listen. He told me they would continue processing the application when I provided them with that statement.
I have a stable DSL connection, although it's not in my name. A sister-in-law had it turned on right before I returned to the Philippines in 2014.
It wasn't always stable but things have improved over the years. Customer service isn't one of them. PLDT's telephone customer service is completely automated and doesn't even give me an option for the issues I get from time to time. I have to wing it every time I call (which really isn't often). Seriously, my issues usually involve a storm or an errant truck driver hitting a pole and taking down lines.
I am not going to give PLDT a notarized statement. Notaries cost money and I have to go downtown and see a lawyer to get my signature notarized. Not only that, but hundreds of people live at the same house number. Will I have to do it again when someone else doesn't pay their bill?
I walked up and down the street the day the CSR called me. The only wires running from pole to pole are electrical, telephone and cable (for cable TV). PLDT would have to string up at least one wire for fiber Internet. I seriously doubt they would do that for one potential customer. I'm not jumping through hoops only to be told fiber Internet isn't available to me yet.

Today, Dawes debuted a poolside performance of their second single, "Feed The Fire," featured on their recently released sixth studio album, Passwords. Lead singer and songwriter, Taylor Goldsmith shares that the song is "about telling myself that the next bit of validation/attention I've been looking for is all I finally need to feel 'okay,' while also being aware that to attain any sort of actual peace/enlightenment then I should be trying to shed myself of that need/egocentric thinking in the first place, and the juxtaposition therein … so that made us think, "Then why don't we perform it in front of a beautiful SWIMMING POOL?!?"
Dawes begins their extensive North American tour, kicking off at St. Paul's Palace Theatre on Sept. 7, with recently wrapping a series of dates opening for Jeff Lynne's ELO, with shows at NYC's Madison Square Garden and LA's The Forum. Dawes' upcoming tour, titled "An Evening With Dawes: Passwords Tour," will features two full sets of music performed by the band with no opener. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased here. Every online ticket purchase for an 'Evening With' Dawes show comes with either a physical CD or digital copy of Passwords. Critic response of the album has been positive, with NPR Music stating that with Dawes' new album, "it returns to its greatest specialty: smooth and ingratiating California folk-rock that never bothers to hide its big, beating, bleeding heart." Purchase the album on all formats here. Tour dates are listed below the picture.

Ukraine Tour 9-17
Hi guys,
The weather here could not be any better. It's 70 and sunny all day then 45 at night. I went to the Kiev National Philharmonic tonight. I used to teach music and this was fantastic. Don't worry about my geek status, I'm going ice skating tomorrow.
This is a great city and has recovered nicely from the troubles in February. Independence square is all cleaned up. The people are very excited about the EU treaty the president passed yesterday.
Went by the AFA Kiev office to say hello to the staff there. Although there is no social right now, they are very busy with club tours and executive clients as well as guys who drop by for an introduction. There are so many ways for you to find success. I know the staff personally and they always do their best to help. Now it's your turn to get off that couch. It's a big world out there, guys and thousands of beautiful women waiting to meet you. Carpe Diem! 2014 is almost over!

Angelic Runes, Vol. 2
Angelic Runes, Vol. 2
By Makoto Tateno
DMP, 168 pp.
Rating: YA (16 +)
The second volume of Makoto Tateno's Angelic Runes brings us revelations, new characters and more pretty boys. The journey of Sowil and his friends continues. This time around Sowil's search for his place in this world brings him into contact with a spirit trapped in ice, a holy beast, his masters master and more.
Unfortunately all the long hair and revelations still aren't enough to help this book. It's a stiff an awkward read with a horribly bland lead and a boring antagonist as well. The supporting cast is equally as forgettable, again with the exception of the two twins though that's mainly due to their constant quoting of actual demons, spirits and angels. They're really the most fun in the series so far and it's a constant game of "Where's this demon/angel from?" with them. Sadly even that wears after a while. The last few pages of the book drop some major revelations that may cause the series to become far more interesting and entertaining, but given how quickly they're rolled out and how little emotional impact they carry I'm not really holding my breath. Sowil's just too boring for his quest of self discovery to move me or draw me in. He has a tendency to repeat his motivation in every chapter, and if he doesn't do then chances are someone else will.
Sadly the visuals match the story. Everything takes place in a weird white space that's sparsely populated by shrubbery and blobs of greytone. There's no real sense of movement in the few action sequences and all the male characters tend to look alike, the only difference being their clothes and hair style. The lack of visuals for the setting reinforces the general lack of a solid background for the story and gives the whole thing the feeling of barely being thought out beyond the very basics of the story.
Angelic Runes continues to underwhelm me. The bland visuals and bland story combine to create a reading experience that's instantly forgettable. While it's fun to try and peg which world mythology certain creatures, demons and the like are from, it's just not enough to hold the story together.
Angelic Runes, Vol. 2 is available now at Emanga.com. Digital review copy provided by the publisher.

Video: Brazilian match held up by bee pitch invasion
That was a hive, referee!
The Brazilian Goiania state championship match between Vila Nova and Goias was delayed for 20 minutes when hundreds of bees decided to convert a crossbar into a hive.
The fire brigade was called in to tackle the invasion. Although they initially used an extinguisher, it was a flaming torch that eventually shifted the bees.
So, perhaps given they had a flaming torch so readily available the phrase 'fight fire with fire' was coined by the Brazilian fire brigade.

How to land English Teaching Jobs in China.
China is a land of exciting opportunity: a confluence of ancient culture and modern skyscrapers, a place where a city of 1 million is considered a "small town," and a place where you can begin a life changing adventure. Whether you want to learn a new language, experience a new culture, or launch an international career, figuring out what steps to take can be difficult. It's a daunting prospect to apply for a new job. For many, looking for English teaching jobs in China will be something completely new.
The beautiful thing about the Internet is that there is a lot of information available. The downside: sometimes there's too much information. Whether its conflicting reports, or the information you are finding is simply outdated. It can be difficult to figure out how to go about teaching in China and fully understanding how to get an English teaching job, or even to know the difference between a quality teaching job and a teaching job scam – which, unfortunately, is not unheard of.
This list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) on how to get an English teaching job in China has been assembled as a primer on teaching in China – and hopefully clears up some questions and common pitfalls that people may have when thinking about teaching in China.
What is the difference between TESOL, TEFL, and ESL?
These are all acronyms related to English-education.
- TESOL: Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages
- TEFL: Teaching English as a Foreign Language
- ESL: English as a Second Language
When it comes to teaching jobs in China, these terms will all be used interchangeably. The context in which you might see them more specifically is "TEFL" is used to refer to a TEFL Certificate – which is a course that 'certifies' you to teach English, whereas ESL is generally used to denote a position, i.e., "ESL Instructor."
What is the salary of an English teacher in China?
"What is the of salary of a teacher in China?"
It's a question every aspiring English teacher asks. The answer is that it depends. Entry level jobs can expect anywhere from $1500 – $2500 per month, depending on what experience you have, but you can easily earn $3500+ as you gain experience.
Is it better to teach English online or in a classroom?
Ultimately, you will need to decide what you are looking to get out of teaching English. If you are someone who enjoys the classroom and personal contact with students, as well as job security, then the classroom may be a better option. On the other hand, if you're looking for the freedom to travel China as well, then online English teaching jobs would give you much more freedom as you could – internet permitting – travel China whilst teaching English online.
Will I earn more money teaching English online or in a classroom?
Online education is a rising industry in China, and there are lots of companies out there that will pay you anywhere from $10-25USD/hour to teach English online (hours may vary). At the higher end, this is on par with the same amount of money you can earn teaching English in a classroom in China, with the caveat being that teaching online does not guarantee you any number of hours or job security like a fixed contract would. We generally see entry-level jobs starting at ¥14,000-17,000 ($2,000-2,500USD) per month, going to ¥25,000 ($3,500USD) and beyond as you gain experience and credentials. So, if you are lucky enough to get a steady stream of online English teaching gigs I would say the income can be similar to what you earn in a classroom, but it may be better to approach this as something to do part-time to supplement your income.
What are the requirements to teach English in China?
- A Bachelor's degree. Not necessarily in teaching or English.
- Two years of postgraduate work experience.
- An English teaching certification, e.g. TEFL (120+ hours). Some entry-level jobs will allow a 100-hour certificate, but 1st-tier cities require at least 120-hours of TEFL training. You can find out more about China's tier city system here.
- A clear national Criminal Background Check.
- A clean statement of health from your doctor in your home country. You will also have to do a second health check in China.
Do I get paid more to teach if I have a degree?
By law, in order to be sponsored on a Z-visa (work permit), you must have a bachelor's degree (in any subject). You will get paid more if you have an education-related qualification such as a BEd, MEd, or PGCE.
Do I need teaching experience to become an English teacher in China?
What are the best places to teach English in China?
The best place to teach English in China is of course very subjective. What we can provide is a list of the most popular places to find English Teaching Jobs in China.
- Beijing
- Yangzhou
- Harbin
- Guilin
- Shanghai
- Chengdu
- Xi'an

How many hours do I have to work as an English teacher in China?
This depends and is something that you should always address in the interview. Some schools and training centers have a complete set of materials and a comprehensive curriculum, making life significantly easier. Generally, schools will require you to teach 15-25 hours per week, with the rest of your time being office hours where you may be expected to handle administrative duties which could including anything from grading to lesson planning or even meeting prospective students.
How much tax do I pay as an English teacher in China?
A lot of schools will specify your salary as pre or post-tax and will be happy to calculate it for you if it is not initially listed. Income taxes in China are generally fairly low (the effective rate will be around ~10% or less for starting teachers). Here is a useful tax calculator, so you can work out accurately how much tax you will pay as a foreign English teacher in China.
Where's the best place to do an English teaching course?
I can't endorse any particular course when it comes to TEFL but, in general, the government wants to see a 120-hour certificate that covers various modules related to teaching English. If the class is online only, exercise caution as both cost and quality can vary significantly. Some schools may offer to sponsor a Chinese-based TEFL that is run by the Chinese government (SAFEA). If you are looking to teach in an international school, it generally helps to have an education certification or degree. Some of these may be completed online with an in-class teaching component.
How can I find English teaching jobs in China?
There are lots of websites specifically dedicated to English teaching jobs in China. You can also signup for Travel gig and browse some of our English teaching travel jobs.
Some teaching positions request fees to secure my job position, is this a scam?
You should never pay fees for a teaching position, especially if they are asking for payment over a service like Western Union. If someone requests payment to secure a teaching position, there is a good chance that this is a scam. Don't send them money, and keep looking for another job.
This is a guest post from Bryan at Pacific Bridge, a Suzhou, China-based education company that helps people find quality teaching jobs in China.
Do employers include employment perks like travel and accommodation?
This, again, will depend on what type of teaching job you are applying for. Experienced jobs are much more likely to have employment perks and may include things like free flights, housing, bonuses, airport pickup, Z visa and more.
We hope this post has helped answer some of your questions on moving and getting a teaching job in China. Teaching English is a great way to work and travel, and China is one of the most amazing and rewarding destinations to experience the lifestyle. If you have any other questions on teaching English in China which were not answered in this post, please leave a comment below and we'll get back to you.

Ismail Ahmed EMBA2010 founded WorldRemit, an online money transfer firm, at London Business School in 2009. Just three years later, it was named the best European money transfer company by the International Association of Money Transfer Networks. The company raised US$100 million in a funding round in 2015 and has increased its staff to 200 people in the UK, the US and Australia.
Before setting-up his own business, Ahmed worked for the United Nations Remittance Programme, helping African money transfer companies comply with anti-money laundering rules. His first job was for a World Bank agricultural development project when he was still living in Hargeisa, Somaliland, which saw him gain a World Bank scholarship to study in the UK.
Ahmed holds an MSc and PhD from the University of London. He won the entrepreneurship award at the Somali Achievement Awards in 2010. He received the Accomplished Entrepreneur Award in 2014.
Remittances sent around the world from workers abroad amount to nearly $600 bn. But the system is often unfair and costly. Ismail Ahmed's new venture has a solution.
London Business School alumnus Ismail Ahmed has secured a £24 million ($40 million) investment for WorldRemit, a global online money-transfer service.
Where better to celebrate WAC than in London Business School's place of birth? Rob Morris attended the event to hear how the LBS network had touched so many lives.
Money transfer app WorldRemit ranked number one in UK Fast 50

(Blouse: Primark/Skirt: River Island/Bag: Topshop/Loafers: Topshop)
Hey guys. I'm trying to blog as frequently as possible so let me know what kind of posts you like to see/want to see so I can make my blog bigger and better - sometimes it's hard to see where I need to improve or what things I am doing right so I'm up for hearing any suggestions. :-)
This look I wore yesterday out to dinner and it's really reminded me that Autumn/Winter is just around the corner. That does kind of make me upset because I've had such a great Summer, but I love the cosiness of the cold nights and layering my outfits once it gets chillier. This blouse I found in Oxford Street Primark and when I saw it, my jaw literally dropped. The studs on the neck look exaaactly like the ones they are selling in Zara but for three times the price. I knew I'd have to pick it up at the bargain price of, £12! Can't go wrong with a studded collar, or any collar if you're slightly obsessed with them like I am. I love the velvet polka-dots too.
I teamed this blouse with a skirt I hadn't worn in ages which is from River Island. This skirt has to be at least four years old and I'd kind of forgotten about it. I love finding something tucked in my wardrobe that I haven't worn in ages, but fall in love with all over again. In the pictures, it looks like it's got polka-dots on it but they are actually little hearts. Finally, I'm wearing another pair of my trusty loafers, this time in black and also from Topshop like my brown ones in this post, here. Thankfully no need for a jacket or cardigan as it's not too cold yet. Can slowly feel my tan slipping away. Bye bye Summer! :-(

Don't give me an ad, give me something fun or useful
These days, everybody in the marketing and advertising industry is talking about giving people 'experiences', rather than shouting at them with advertising messages. Or at least the smart segment of 'everybody' is talking about it.
It requires the kind of thinking that starts from the 'audience', not from the brand. What do they get out of it?
Seems obvious to me. When I've had to come up with a brief-specific idea, I've always used 2 criteria to test ideas. Will it keep people entertained? Or is it useful; will it make people's lives easier and/or can they learn something from it?
Anyway, the shift in focus means that recently, there's been some interesting examples of 'experience advertising'. Either online, where it can go viral. Or in real life, where it gives people a fun, exciting,… experience.
A much talked about example of the first is the Puma Index, a fun idea in these drab economic times that links the stock market to some PUMA-wearing models. If the index goes down, their clothes come off. Pretty clever, but a bit boring when the indexes go up.
A good example of the second category, real-life, is the piano stairs campaign that Volkswagen did in Stockholm. Overnight, the steps of a tube station's exit were turned into piano keys, which made people take the stairs rather than the elevator.
At first it wasn't 100% clear as to why VW would do this, but it turns out it's all part of the Fun Theory 'campaign', a website dedicated to the idea that fun is the easiest way to change behaviour. Financed by Volkswagen, I presume. As BBH Labs' Mel Exon puts it
"(I'm) wondering whether brands should stop marketing themselves and start marketing the good stuff they believe in."
Or, rather than creating new content, brands should start attaching themselves to existing niche content content curators. Sort of like sponsoring, indeed. There's an interesting discussion going on about content curation Rohit Bhargava's blog.
And I just wanted to point out a 3rd example, which combines a transmedia approach with good old excitement anticipation. It's an Uruguyan campaign for Axe, called 'Day & Night', where guys were asked to send an SMS, after the watershed of 9PM, to receive the missing body parts of a 'naughty' print ad. A smart, playful way of making your target audience think about you all day long.
And if you want more: 2 days ago @GuyKawasaki tweeted about this BoredPanda blogpost that lists 33 creative ambient ads. Some great work in there from all over the world. Still semi-shouting, but I must admit more than one of those examples grabbed my attention.
Proof once more that people are becoming media channels in their own right. We're working on a blogpost about why content is now the king it's always promised to be, so more about later.

How do you manage screen time for your children?
The New Year period provides some down-time for reflection on lifestyle, careers, the household budget and other things that get little attention during the hurly-burly of the working year. Like many parents, my wife and I have become concerned about the seemingly ever-expanding amount of time that our kids spend in front of screens. Our end-of-year break has given us the opportunity to have a good think about how we change that situation and we've found a great little tool for managing screen time.
Much of my childrens' spare time is spent in front of one of our two television screens, on our family iPad, on one of the multiple devices my wife and I carry, or on my old beat-up mobile phone that has been handed down to my daughter expressly for the purpose of catching Pokemon. Their daisy-chain use of these devices aligns with overlapping charging cycles – if the iPad runs out of juice, they simply move on to the Android tablet, then it's Minecraft on the desktop computer, followed by some YouTube viewing on the internet-enabled smart TV, by which time the iPad is fully recharged for a second stint. And so the cycle goes.
As a technologist, I think it's important that our kids are exposed to new technologies from a young age and are conversant with emerging software and hardware that will undoubtedly play a central role in our society and economy in coming years. As time goes on, I hope that their consumption of these applications and gadgets will translate into a desire to help create the technologies of tomorrow. My daughter loves playing strategy games right now; in time, I hope she's capable of coding them herself.
But right now, there's a need to put a halt to this spiralling use of screen time. Technology is important, but kids also need to get outside and let off steam; they need to learn to interact face-to-face with other human beings, rather than through electronic means; and they need to creatively find ways to keep themselves occupied without having a tablet at hand.
And perhaps most importantly for us as a family, we need to break the junkie-like addiction that has claimed our kids' attention, and the withdrawal-induced fallout that occurs when we finally wrest the devices away. This is the insidious stuff that creates household disharmony, with Mum and Dad at odds with one another over the correct way to parent, and the frequent bursts of attitude from perpetually cranky children.
The Screen Time App allows you to take control of your childrens' screen time
Enter the Screen Time app, available on both iOS and Android. This little beauty allows parents to control their childrens' screen time from their own device. The app allows you to do a bunch of great stuff:
- Limit your childrens' use to a certain number of hours per day. During the school holidays, we're allowing our kids three hours per day, but this reduces to two hours on weekends only during the school year.
- Disable your childrens' devices during school and bedtime hours. This is perfect if you don't want your kids getting up at the crack of dawn to jump on their tablets.
- Block the use of specified apps – for example, if you don't want them installing new apps, you can block the App Store or the Google Play Store, or you can limit use to educational apps only during school hours.
- Get complete logs of your childrens' use and receive alerts and notifications for specific events – for example, if they install an app, you are alerted via an email notification
- 'Pause' your childrens' use at any time with the Pause button. Need them to come to the dinner table? Just hit 'Pause' and send them a note. No more pleading with them to put down their devices.
- Extend daily use with the 'Play' button or incentivise your children with task completion. If your children completes the specified chore (eg. clean their room), then they can earn additional time.
- Control any number of devices – iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android and Kindle Fire – and set up multiple controlling accounts.
Screen Time is free to use to monitor your family's devices for as long as you like. When you first set up Screen Time you get a 14 day free trial of Screen Time Premium which allows you to manage and limit your family's device usage. After your trial you can continue to use Screen Time Premium with a monthly subscription which is pretty cheap at $40 USD per year. That's a small price to pay for sanity.

Medicine and Morality
It's been a long week and angry doc lacks the energy to write separate entries for two very interesting articles in the newspaper today, so he decided to lump them together.
The first article is a news article on illegal organ trade in Singapore.
Despite the known benefits of transplant to recipients and the very low risk to donors, the ministry's position on organ donation between unrelated persons is that "organ trading often involves the exploitation of the poor and socially disadvantaged donors who are unable to make an informed choice and suffer potential medical risks".
The second article is an interview with Professor Roy Chan, president of Action for Aids, who had this to say about the fight against HIV/AIDS in Singapore:
"We have to see Aids as a disease. Clouding the issue with the morality aspects only impedes the treatment and prevention of the disease."
Together, these two articles show how much morality affects the ministry's health policies. Whether that is a good thing or not will probably depend on whether you share the same morality.

I was trying to leave audio feedback on the phone line earlier today & it wouldn't let me.
I'm trying to figure out if it is a technical glitch or if you finally got tired of my rambling phone messages. :-)
- Mark Johnson said...
Uh-oh. It looks like my trusty voicemail number (a free service from K7.net) was deleted for inactivity! Oh no! I've already signed back up, but I don't see any way to get my old number back. Which means the number I give out in all the old podcasts will be wrong.
You can now call 206-337-7401.
- Gregarius said...
Ah, that explains why you didn't append my comment to the podcast. I left a voicemail message soon after returning to Houston with some additional quick thoughts.
- Mark Johnson said...
You'll just have to re-record those thoughts. :-)

Below you will find listed several different mini project ideas that you can utilize to learn more about microcontrollers. Not only do these provide fascinating ways to experiment with microcontrollers and to see for yourself how much they can do, they also provide tremendous opportunities for education. These controllers generally come as all-in-one kits, having everything you need to complete the project, the instructions for doing so and information that will give you some insight into the concepts and characteristics of microcontrollers that make these projects possible.
Some of these projects will require a somewhat developed knowledge of electronics and electronic processes, so be certain to consider this when you are picking up one of these projects to experiment with.
Remember that some mini project ideas are actually expandable into other ideas. For example, some of the products listed below are set up so that they can be easily added to other microcontroller-based products or projects. When you are shopping around for them, consider whether or not you would want to further develop the project you are working on into a more sophisticated piece of equipment and whether or not you want to look for a project that is expandable.

Police in northern New Jersey say an 18-month-old boy who was inside a vehicle that was carjacked in Elizabeth was found unharmed after the carjacker abandoned the car in Newark.
An Amber Alert was issued for the child after the carjacker forced his father from the vehicle in Elizabeth shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday.
The thief drove northbound on Routes 1 & 9 and eluded police in the area of McCarter Highway and Broad Street in Newark.
The car was found near the border of Irvington and Newark shortly before 8 p.m.
No one has been arrested.
The alert was issued just hours after state officials announced new guidelines for issuing alerts in cases where the abductor is believed to be a parent or family member.

From the Drug Enforcement Agency's March issue of the Microgram Bulletin:
The Arkansas State Crime Laboratory (Little Rock) recently received a paperback novel that had apparent yellow highlighter stains on several pages, that field-tested positive for methamphetamine (see Photo 5). The exhibit was seized by the Washington County Sheriff's Office from an individual who was visiting the Washington County Jail (located in Fayetteville). Analysis of a methanolic extract of the most heavily stained pages by color testing, TLC, and GC/MS confirmed methamphetamine (not quantitated, but a high loading based on TIC). This is the first seizure of this type submitted to the laboratory.
I suppose you should also see the DEA Disclaimers:
1) All material published in either Microgram Bulletin or Microgram Journal is reviewed prior to publication. However, the reliability and accuracy of all published information are the responsibility of the respective contributors, and publication in Microgram Bulletin implies no endorsement by the United States Department of Justice or the Drug Enforcement Administration.
2) Due to the ease of scanning, copying, electronic manipulation, and/or reprinting, only the posted copies of Microgram Bulletin (on www.dea.gov) are absolutely valid. All other copies, whether electronic or hard, are necessarily suspect unless verified against the posted versions.
3) WARNING!: Due to the often lengthy time delays between the actual dates of seizures and their subsequent reporting in Microgram Bulletin, and also because of the often wide variety of seizure types with superficially similar physical attributes, published material cannot be utilized to visually identify controlled substances currently circulating in clandestine markets. The United States Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration assume no liability for the use or misuse of the information published in Microgram Bulletin.
