A quarterly email update providing you with the latest happenings going on within the IEEE SA Corporate Program.
"Whether it is through initiating, leading, or endorsing standards projects and related activities, or providing outstanding support and technical expertise for IEEE-SA's various programs, these companies help drive innovation and strengthen IEEE's standards development process, resulting in industry standards that profoundly impact the way people all over the globe live and work." says Ron Petersen, chair of the IEEE SA Awards and Recognition Committee. He's referring to recipients of the IEEE SA Corporate Award, which is presented to companies that have played significant roles in advancing their industries through the IEEE standards process.
2016's award went to China Datang Corporation (CDT) "for launching four, submitting two, and participating in seven IEEE SA standards, and for chairing IC14-001-02 Green Power Generation." Power generation is a subject of enormous concern for a rapidly growing economy like China's; ensuring that new power does not contribute to pollution problems, and that it is efficient as possible, is crucial to China's sustainability and continued growth. CDT plays a prominent role in encouraging and promoting a better landscape overall for power generation in one of the world's leading economies, through the standards process at IEEE.
Now it's time to think about candidates for the 2017 IEEE SA Corporate Award. IEEE SA is soliciting nominations for companies that have made significant contributions to the development of IEEE standards in their industries by supporting IEEE SA activities.
"At the start, our program offered a platform for collaboration to participants that were just starting to think about standards, but not quite ready to move into the formal standards process," says Rudi Schubert, Director of New Opportunities Development at IEEE Standards Association.
Today, the Industry Connections Program is increasingly proactive in promoting the idea of standardization as an important and beneficial step for advancing new technologies quickly. "We look at emerging technology fields, like smart materials, that may provide the next generation of standards. So we go out and find leaders and build an ecosystem of participants who'd be interested in driving it."
There are over twenty different programs right now in Industry Connections, focused on everything from augmented and virtual reality to the issues involved with a world of Big Data, to the ambitious (and decidedly science fiction-sounding) "Brain Initiative" - looking at technologies that interact directly with the human brain. "There are always interesting conversations going on about new technologies, but for us the question is, are they leading towards the need to initiate standards activities?" Schubert says, "That's the key—what are the outputs that will be tangible and relevant to the standards community."
Some of these programs may sound futuristic, but it's a future that's not only close at hand but real-world practical. One example is 3-D body processing. The idea that each of us might walk around with a full 3-D model of our bodies is intriguing to many industries. For retailers, it could mean the ability to better market for individual physiology and preferences, improving customer satisfaction and reducing costs associated with returns. For medical or fitness providers, it means the ability to precisely tailor services to the individual's real physical condition.
Beyond the application of new technologies, Industry Connections is also looking at the application of technologies in various territories around the world, with a particular focus on Asia. In highly industrialized countries, a focus is on robotics and green power, while for a rapidly-industrializing country it may be smart cities. "Many places are striving to develop themselves as smart cities," says Schubert. "But what are the metrics? How do you measure how smart a city is? You have to answer that to help make informed decisions on investments and priorities."

The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems is an initiative of IEEE-SA's Industry Connections, aimed at bringing the insights of thinkers and experts on artificial intelligence into the process as A.I. technology develops. Over 100 thought leaders and experts from industry, government, universities, and think tanks have been involved so far.
The first result of this effort is a 138-page report entitled Ethically Aligned Design: A Vision for Prioritizing Human Wellbeing with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems. The document's goal is to advance a public discussion of how these intelligent and autonomous technologies can be aligned to moral values and ethical principles that prioritize human wellbeing. (You can download the full report or an overview here.)
Schubert says that there's been a high level of interest, "We've had positive interactions with government, and we've made presentations to UN organizations, to the World Economic Forum, and to the European Parliament. There have already been a half dozen standards proposals developed by the Initiative, and work is underway on educational offerings including webinars, workshops and online courses."
IEEE SA is leading the way on standards that can be implemented industry-wide. To that end, working groups that have been launched are dealing with questions ranging from the creation of a process for incorporating ethical concerns into design, addressing algorithmic bias, and to questions of protecting personal data when it's generated or used by autonomous devices.

"Having common terms and definitions in Intelligent Process Automation is important," says Jeff Pane, Associate Brand Marketing and Communications Manager at IEEE Standards Association, "because if there's a common term and it's defined, that leads to greater interoperability between different products." Beyond that, common terms reflect a common conceptual framework—which is to say, the ethical values of humans.
This can be a tricky matter when it comes to programming behavior for automated devices. It's not enough to simply know a desired outcome. "If you have a robot chef making dinner," says Pane, "how do you make sure it knows not to cook the family pet?" Developing common terms and a common frame of reference is the starting point of imbuing devices with human ethics—and human aesthetics.
The working group recently began its work, but Pane says a quick turnaround, later this year, is expected, because this standard is the basis for everything that will follow. "Getting this baseline consensus document in place is the main goal, so that others, dealing with specific offshoots, can use its terms and concepts going forward."
Global research conducted by many industrial and academic organizations has introduced a significant number of measures that can be used to improve the energy efficiency of ICT and further reduce its carbon footprint through the use of renewable energy sources.
The mission of the IEEE Green ICT initiative is to build a holistic approach to sustainability through ICT by incorporating green metrics throughout IEEE technical domains. The initiative has introduced 9 IEEE standards projects in 2017, including: IEEE P1922.1, IEEE P1922.2, IEEE P1923.1, IEEE P1924.1, IEEE P1925.1, IEEE P1926.1, IEEE P1927.1, IEEE P1928.1, IEEE P1929.1. This webinar provides an overview of these 9 new IEEE standards projects and discusses ways that you can contribute to the projects and join the working groups.

What Do You Think Are the Most Compelling Trends in Technology?
The best question in the standards process is nearly always "What do you think?," and now we're asking it, too. In each issue of Corporate Standards Focus we're going to ask you for feedback to help us understand better how to serve you, and to pinpoint areas that you may not think we're focusing on sufficiently. Here's the first question: What do you think are the most compelling trends in technology? Or to put it other ways: Which are you most interested in reading about? What do you wish more people, including us, were talking about?
Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll randomly draw from the responses and send one respondent an IEEE tie or scarf!

No matter the holiday, special occasions often mean that people will gather with family and friends to celebrate with parties that include alcohol. Though it is common knowledge that drinking and driving do not mix well, there is no shortage of Minnesota families who have lost loved ones due to the negligent decisions of drunk drivers. In an effort to reduce the number of lives lost, troopers plan to increase their presence along the state's roads.
K-9 officers who break training can inflict serious dog bites
Police departments across the country often proudly announce when they acquire a new canine officer. Though much time and money is spent training these animals, they can prove to be a liability, especially when they break training. There have been several incidents in the Minneapolis area involving innocent victims suffering serious wounds from dog bites inflicted by canine officers.

"A diet of fried foods, refined flours, sugars, and products with hormones and synthetic sweeteners all contribute to inflammation which builds up belly fat," says Cara Walsh, a dietician at Medifast Weight Control Centers of California. Ok, we've all been guilty of indulging in these kinds of foods. Now the goal is reverse the inflammation that could be making us bit too thick in the mid-section. If you opt for healthy foods over junk, then you're already a leg ahead in the flat stomach department. Think about adding one or more of these nutrient-dense, low calorie and low sugar belly-blasting foods to your daily menu.
Quinoa is a whole grain and while it has carbs, it's actually a "good" and "slow" carb," says weight loss expert Dr. Rachita Reddy, MD. "It reduces belly fat and inches off the waist because it has a low glycemic index." That means quinoa is absorbed into the blood stream at a slower pace then "bad" carbs like white pasta. Quinoa is loaded with fiber that slows sugar digestion and prevents a sugar spike. Without the sugar spike there's no quick release of insulin that causes sugar to convert to and be stored as fat. And without fat storage, belly bloat is minimized and the inches can melt off your waist. Research also suggests that quinoa helps suppress the release of cytokines, which could be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of inflammation.
Greek Yogurt
Add a dollop of yogurt to your oatmeal or use it as a base for a fruit smoothie. Slice up whatever fruit is in season and dip it into a bowl of plain, low-fat Greek yogurt that's been mixed with a touch of honey for sweetness. Yogurt is an anti-inflammatory probiotic food. "Researchers have found that the Lactobacillus probiotic family can help you absorb less fat and lose weight," says Rebecca Lee, RN, founder of the natural health resource RemediesForMe. And within this probiotic family with the long, scientific name there's a few particular strains that target belly fat and waist circumference. You can find them in plain Greek yogurt. One of these strains even increases the hormone leptin, which signals to the brain, "Stop storing fat! We have enough!" This decreases appetite and increases satiety, says Lee, which is a great way to start off your morning and curtail calorie-heavy snacking before lunch.
You are not a child and we can't force you to try new vegetables. So we're just going to really encourage you. "One of the best anti-inflammatory foods to help you maintain a healthy weight is broccoli," says Walsh. Why? It's high in vitamin K, which can help regulate your body's response to inflammation. If you're still into kale chips, enjoy. But we've moved on to broccoli. Place small pieces onto a baking sheet, drizzle with EVOO and add a sprinkling of sea salt (maybe a little garlic powder, too). Bake them until crispy. You'll never pick up kale again.
Bone Broth
How do you cook quinoa and brown rice? The answer is probably in water. Let's improve on that. Colette Heimowitz, a nutritionist with Atkins Nutritionals, recommends using bone broth that's rich in immune-boosting minerals and collagen. Both of these help reduce inflammation. You can buy it but it's really easy to make your own, says culinary nutrition expert, Andrea Wien. Just throw some roasted bones (chicken, turkey or beef) into the slow cooker. Add chopped onions, garlic, carrots and celery, then cover the ingredients with water and let simmer for the day.

Common Interview questions and answers
Common interview questions and answers
Why did you leave your last job?' 'What are your weaknesses?' 'If you were a type of fruit, what would you be, and why?'
OK, so some interview questions are easier to answer than others. But whilst you can't predict exactly what you'll be asked, any question has the potential to make you stumble – unless, of course, you've prepared in advance.
To help give you an idea of what could come up, here's our list of common interview questions, and how to answer them:
Tell me about yourself…
A common opening question, partly because your interviewers want to know more about you, but mostly because they want to put you on the spot and see how you react.
They've given you complete control here, and you should take full advantage of it. They have not, however, asked for your life story.
Keep your answer pertinent and try not to go off topic too much. You're here to interview for a particular position, and you shouldn't lose sight of this. Remember: the interviewer is not just making small talk.
Right answer: Should be about a two or three minutes long and briefly cover your education, your interest in the field, work history and experience.
Wrong answer: 'Well, where do I start? I was born in 1974. A precocious child…'
What are your weaknesses…?
The first part of this question is realising that you actually have some (no, being a perfectionist doesn't count).
Everyone has weaknesses or things that they can improve about themselves. And being honest with yourself here will save you a lot of time in the long run.
The best answers to this question take one of your weaknesses, and then give practical examples of how you're trying to address it. A good example of this type of answer would be:
'I used to find it difficult to work on simultaneous projects, preferring to finish on one task before starting another. However, since taking a time management course recently, I've learnt how to manage my schedule more effectively, making it easier to multi-task when necessary'.
Right answer: Weakness + how you've tried/are trying to address it = (eventually) strength
Wrong answer: 'Kryptonite'
Why should you get this job?
This is unashamedly aimed at provoking a personal sales pitch.
As there will probably be a number of other candidates having interviews, this is your chance to demonstrate why you want the job, and why you would be a perfect fit for the company.
Essentially, the company is hiring for a reason (a brief summary of which can usually be found in the job description). You need to position yourself as the person to do this.
Right answer: 'From what we've discussed so far, you're looking to X (or, 'having a problem with X'). In the past I have demonstrated X, Y and Z (experience and your main strengths), which have really helped my previous employer'
Wrong answer: 'I just really need the money'
How to answer interview questions
Whatever your answers are, don't be tempted to improvise or answer on the spur of the moment. It'll never come out as well as you'd hoped.
It doesn't need to be scripted but knowing why you want the job and what your strengths and weaknesses are should be a standard part of your preparation process and just as important as your pre-interview research.
It's also essential to consider that you'll not just be judged on your CV. Getting across your personality is of equal importance. In other words, don't just think about your answers, but think about what they say about you.
Ultimately, you need to be likeable and display the parts of your personality that will make you attractive to prospective employers (engaging, dedicated, hardworking etc). Entering a competitive interview, with the right mindset can really set you apart.
Finally, to avoid any awkward silences, never assume that the hiring manager has a sense of humour.
Just in case…

Today we drove to CT for the Easter weekend and my plan was to take a picture before we left of bubbles made with my big bubble wand but unfortunately it wasn't working right so we stopped at a store and bought a bottle of bubbles and when we stopped at a rest area in NJ we took pictures of bubbles. This was my favorite one.

Nice capture. I love that if you look close you can see your reflection in it. Enjoy your Easter weekend!ReplyDelete
Nice catch. I didn't notice your reflection until Aquashell pointed it out. Nice.ReplyDelete
I think that if they blew bubbles in office building once a week, people would have a bit more pep in their step.
I was blowing bubbles in the car on the way up and kids behind us were pointing and laughing so I agree Alissa it would improve moraleReplyDelete

FOREST GROVE, Ore. (KPTV) -- The Oregon Court of Appeals has reversed the conviction of a woman who hit and killed two girls playing in a pile of leaves in Forest Grove in 2013.
In a decision filed Wednesday, the appeals court ruled the trial court "erred" in denying a motion for acquittal for Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros.
A jury convicted Garcia-Cisneros on two counts of failure to perform the duties of a driver to injured persons in January 2014.
Garcia-Cisneros was sentenced to probation and community service, but no time in prison.
Garcia-Cisneros was arrested in October 2013 in connection with the deaths of 11-year-old Abigail Robinson and 6-year-old Anna Dieter-Eckerdt.
Garcia-Cisneros drove her boyfriend's SUV through a leaf pile on Main Street in Forest Grove and felt a "bump," according to court documents.
Garcia-Cisneros, then 18 years old, told investigators it felt like a pothole and passengers in the car assumed it was a log or a rock.
After arriving home a few blocks away, they looked at the front of the SUV and did not see any damage.
Court documents state Garcia-Cisneros' brother then rode his bike toward his girlfriend's home and saw the father of Abigail and Anna screaming near the pile of leaves. Anna was pronounced dead at the scene and Abigail died the next day at the hospital.
Garcia-Cisneros' brother turned around and told her that she had hit the girls. Court documents state she did not believe him at first, but then began to cry and hyperventilate.
Her boyfriend drove the SUV to a car wash and then to his house to protect her, according to court documents, but police received a tip about Garcia-Cisneros crying and two men examining the SUV.
Link to Story Source
At the time of her arrest, police said Garcia-Cisneros had "made no effort" to contact the family of the victims or law enforcement.
At trial, Garcia-Cisneros' attorney moved for an acquittal, saying the state failed to prove she knew the incident resulted in injuries while she was at the scene of the crash, adding Oregon law does not require a driver to return to the scene of an accident after learning someone was hurt.
That motion was denied, which the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled was a mistake. The appeals court stated Oregon law, "does not require a defendant to return to the scene of the accident after he or she has left the scene and later learns that he or she was involved in an accident that injured or killed another person."
"In this case, it is undisputed that defendant did not know that she had hit two people until after she had driven away from the scene of the accident and arrived at her house," according to court documents.
Garcia-Cisneros was taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody after her conviction in 2014. ICE reported that she was being placed in "removal proceedings." However, her case was dismissed by an immigration judge in August 2014 and she was released from ICE custody.
Her boyfriend, Mario Echeverria, pleaded guilty to the charge of hindering prosecution and was sentenced to 13 months in prison in December 2013. He was also 18 years old at the time.
Family members of the girls who were killed offered forgiveness to both Garcia-Cisneros and Echeverria in court in 2013 and 2014.

Helping our Neighbors through Open Table
A new opportunity to help our Metrowest neighbors on Tuesdays:
Open Table in Maynard needs volunteers on Tuesdays through October to help with their dinner program while it is temporarily housed in the Sudbury United Methodist Church on Old Sudbury Road (Rte 27).
Open Table has run a dinner program and food pantry on Monday nights in Maynard for many years. Recently, the dinner program has had to shut down as the restaurant changed hands and the new owners are not able to support the program. Open Table is looking for a new site to permanently house both the pantry and the dinner program. In the meantime, the pantry will continue in Maynard on Monday nights (contact Ginny Doxsey, if you'd like to join this volunteer team) and the Methodist Church has generously offered their space for the dinner program.
There are many ways to help out the dinner program on Tuesdays: shop for food and deliver to the cooks at 3:00, help prepare the dinner from 3:00-5:30 (much chopping is always involved!), help serve the dinner from 5:30-7:30, help the clean up crew from 6:30-7:30. If you are interested in helping out this great service once or more often, go to Open Table information You will sign up online to express your interest in helping out with the Tuesday dinners. The Open Table Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to make arrangements.
This program relies totally on volunteers. It's a satisfying evening for both the guests and the volunteers, so please consider helping, even if it's only for one week.

Nemuro's local sweets "Nemu Roll" and "Nemuro Ruskman"
Have you heard of "Nemu Roll" or "Nemuro Ruskman"? Both are local sweets from Nemuro, a city in the eastern Hokkaido. There are several unique local dishes in Nemuro such as "Escalope" and "Oriental Rice," so there are of course sweets. I can recommend those for afternoon snacks and souvenirs.
Table of Contents- The local sweets prepared by confectioneries and bakeries in Nemuro
- "Nemu Roll" made a long queue in front of the shop
- If you talk about Nemuro, not Laxman, "Nemuro Ruskman"
The local sweets prepared by confectioneries and bakeries in NemuroIn Nemuro, there is "Nemuro Sweets Study Group," which local confectioneries and bakeries gather and study about confections.
Nemuro's local sweets are made and sold at members of the study group. Every confection is somewhat related to Nemuro.
▲I visited Mr. Hamazaki, who is the 2018 board member of "Nemuro Sweets Study Group," and owns "Pastry Hamazaki."
He made several kinds of sweets in the past.
The first one was a confection using kelp, but it did not sell well. The second one he made became a huge hit.
That was the original cake roll "Nemu Roll," which started to sell at each shop in 2010.
He started selling "Nemu Low-Calorie Sweets" in the next year, which is the low-calorie version of Nemu Roll. Then he made "New Nemu Roll."
▲"Pastry Hamazaki"'s "Nemu Low-Calorie Sweets." The calorie is half of a usual chocolate cake, and the light chocolate mousse tastes very nice.
However, since fresh cakes don't last long, it was not suitable for souvenirs. To create something that can be carried around for a while, they came up with "Nemuro Ruskman" in 2014.
The unique point of these confections is that actual products are different in each confectioneries and bakeries even though they share the common theme.
You can enjoy each shop's ideas and unique flavors.
Those who have a sweet tooth should visit several stores to compare the flavors!
In this article, I will introduce "Nemu Roll" and "Nemuro Ruskman" from two pastries in Nemuro City.
▲"Pastry Hamazaki" is along National Road 44, the main street of Nemuro.
▲"Shikaya" is in the corner of Nemuro downtown.
"Nemu Roll" made a long queue in front of the shop"Nemu Roll" is a cake roll made under the theme, Nemuro.
Each pastry can create freely according to their ideas as long as it is a cake roll and use something inspired from Nemuro in somewhere; such as ingredients, shapes, and other figures.
The name of the product differs in each store and "Nemu Roll" is the general term.
▲On the left is Nemu Roll from "Pastry Hamazaki" and the right is from "Shikaya."
As it was covered in the local newspaper when it started to sell in 2010, long queues appeared in pastries every day to buy "Nemu Roll."
Although we don't often see long queues now and not all pastries in the study group offer Nemu Roll, few stores still bake Nemu Roll as long sellers.
However, be careful because some shops only offer Nemu Roll seasonally or irregularly.
"Pastry Hamazaki"'s "Nemu Roll" = "Nemuro Mascarpone Cake Roll"This is a fruit cake roll made with mascarpone cheese from Betsukai-Cho, the town next to Nemuro.
The mousse feels very light, and it makes the juicy flavor of fruits inside stand out.
"Shikaya"'s "Nemu Roll" = "Moo Moo Roll"This cake roll is inspired by Holstein relaxing in the middle of a pasture in the Nemuro Region.
They made cake roll look like Holstein with light colored dough made with egg white and black colored dough made with black cocoa.
The moist dough has milky flavors.
If you talk about Nemuro, not Laxman, "Nemuro Ruskman"Those who like history might connect something with the term "Ruskman."
Yes, the name came from Laxman, the first Russian envoy who came to Nemuro in 1792.
"Nemuro Ruskman" is baked sweets developed by each shop to fit the designated sized packages.
The most significant difference of "Nemuro Ruskman" and "Nemu Roll" is not only they are baked sweets but also you can purchase a set with rusks from different pastries and bakeries.
▲These rusks are sold separately in different pastries and bakeries as well as a set box with seven kinds. (The photo is taken at "Shikaya.")
You can purchase this set not only at each pastry and bakeries but also Michi No Eki (Roadside Station) in Nemuro, etc., as souvenirs.
You can compare different flavors if it's a set box and it is great for souvenirs, too.
▲There are seven kinds of rusks from 7 different shops as of January 2019. A box contains seven types.
There are various rusks in the set: some of them have a shape of Hanasaki club, some of them use kelp salt and red beans for ingredients.
It is easier to compare different flavors than fresh cakes.
Try it!
"Pastry Hamazaki"'s "Nemuro Ruskman" = "Gateau Rusk"This rusk looks like a leaf-shaped pie.
You can feel the flavor of butter once you have a bite.
As the name Gateau suggests, this rusk is natural yet has a deep flavor.
▲The left is "Nemuro Ruskman" from "Pastry Hamazaki," and the right is from "Shikaya."
"Shikaya"'s "Nemuro Ruskman" = "Kani Kani Goo"This rusk looks really cute!
The rusk is wrapped with Monaka dough, and you can feel the black and white sesame flavors once you have a bite.
Please mind that it does not contain club meats.
Don't you want to try local sweets from Nemuro?
If you visit Nemuro and plan to stay and have it within a day, have "Nemu Roll," and if you want something to take home, have "Nemuro Ruskman"!
Compare the different flavors from each shop!

Letting Insurance Write the Bill: How Bad Is That?
Ezra has written a thoughtful follow-up to my complaint that discussions of the role of insurance company in writing our legislation neglect to discuss profit. I agree with parts of it and disagree with others. The most important point Ezra makes–which explains his focus on providers to the exclusion of insurance companies–is this passage:
The insurance industry is not a particularly profitable industry. To be more specific, they're the 86th most profitable industry as measured by profit margins, with an average margin of 3.3 percent. That's lower than drug manufacturers (16.5 percent), health information services (9.3 percent), home health care (8.4 percent), medical labs and research (8.2 percent), medical instruments and supplies (6.8 percent), biotech firms (6.7 percent), generic drug manufacturers (6.6 percent), and much else. That's not to pretend that 3.3 percent is nothing, but it's hard to see how that's a primary driver of health-care spending, much less the growth in health-care spending.
With that in mind, let's take a step back to the question that started this series of posts–Matt Yglesias' question, "how bad is that?" if the insurance industry writes our health care reform bill. With now several bills on the table along with the Max Tax framework and the President's framework, how bad is it to let corporations necessarily motivated by profit maximization write the bill?
Short of our entire political system changing tomorrow such that single payer became feasible (which would make Ezra, Yglesias, and me all very happy), what we're going to do instead is put tens of millions of people into the health insurance system who aren't currently there. The question is, how to do it for the best outcome at lowest cost to taxpayers and individuals. Some of those people will be put into the system via Medicaid, though a great many will be put into the system directly via insurers. Importantly, those put into the system via insurance will be mandated to buy insurance. Some will be subsidized by the government, though others will not.
So the insurers will be getting tens of millions of new customers, and those new customers with financial constraints will be subsidized by the government but others will not.
Now, in his first post, Ezra wrote:
If you want cost control, though, you're going to have to follow through on one of these strategies, and that's going to mean making providers and patients really angry. Both like the health system better when it's got unlimited amounts of money flowing through it. It's actually easier for me to imagine a system with private insurers that holds costs down than a system with the current provider reimbursement rates and relatively passive insurers (be they private or public) that holds costs down.
Of course, that's not entirely right. Patients whose health care is provided by their employer "like the health system better when it's got unlimited amounts of money flowing through it." Patients who have to pay out of pocket–like many of the ones who will be mandated to buy insurance–don't really like that so much. And it's not just patients and providers that like a system that's got unlimited amounts of money flowing through it. So do insurers (assuming you understand this to be a system as a whole). Even assuming insurance companies only make that 3.3% profit and setting aside things like huge executive incomes, the insurance companies have an incentive to have as much money flowing into the system that it can take its 3.3% profit on.
And that's one of the baseline problems with letting the insurance companies write the bill: they have just as much incentive as providers to see that as much money gets flowing into the system as possible. And, they have an incentive to make sure that as much of the money put into the system as possible stays in their pocket. For those affected by the mandate who will not be subsidized or will only be partially subsidized, it is actually the patient, and not the insurance company, with the most urgency to cut the amount of money flowing through the system. But the patient doesn't get to write the bill; the insurance company does, and it appears that it is with these patients that the insurance companies stand to make some of their highest profits.
That's one of my gripes with the Max Tax. It sets out-of-pocket caps higher than other bills and sets lower amounts (73% if they are to be subsidized) that insurers have to cover. The result will be that more middle class families go into debt. As it's written, the Max Tax (frankly, most the bills) amount to a mandate that is simply not affordable for some middle class families. But the Max Tax throws in a bit more mandated costs that will go to insurance company profitability. The extra thousand or more dollars included for insurance companies means a lot to a family otherwise faced with surviving off of less than $8,000 for utilities, transportation, education, clothing, and debt. To me, you don't have to get any further than this money–taken from middle class families who will still go into debt under this scheme and giving it to insurance company profit–to demonstrate "how bad it is" that the insurance company wrote the bill.
The other big difference with a bill written by insurance companies is that it includes no apparent means to challenge the insurance companies to limit how much money they ask to be put in the system in the first place–something the public option would help to do. Now, Ezra argues the exchange will be enough to bring costs down.
The answer to these problems, at least to my way of thinking, is not so much the public plan (though I think it would be a good inclusion) but the health insurance exchanges. And I do talk about them. Often. Loudly. In all different ways.
Expanding the exchanges is where insurers — both public and private — get the size for administrative efficiency and negotiated discounts. Expanding the exchanges moves us towards a system where people see how much of their money is being spent on health care and thus understand the need for cost control and the damage being done by the status quo. Expanding the exchange is even the key to a strong public plan, because the public plan is nothing without a large customer base to give it strength.
Scarecrow has written challenged the view that an exchange is enough in the past (here, here).
For me, there are two key points on this.
First, without a public option, you sacrifice one tool to keep insurers honest with regard to regulation. Now, the public option, as currently laid out, doesn't do that. And there's a risk that insurers will find some way to game the system and incent high cost patients to enter the public option. But the public option at least establishes a threat that insurers could lose more lucrative patients, as well. If regulation won't be enough to prevent insurers from cherry-picking or denying coverage, competition might be. As such, the public option represents a hypothetical tool–one that would have to be beefed up to be effective–but one that may be necessary to force real compliance.
Then there's the question of controlling total money flowing in the system. Best as I understand Max Tax and some of the other plans, while there are out-of-pocket caps on expenses, there are no hard and fast limits on premiums. As such, the pressure points to keep insurers from raising premiums are the following:
- There is virtually no pressure point to keep premiums low for those in the 133% to 400% level (particularly the 133% to 300% level), because the government will subsidize the plans.
- The pressure point for those over 400% of the poverty level is roughly 10% of their income. Once the cheapest policy (which under Max Tax would have to cover 65% of costs, including rules requiring coverage of preventative care) hits 10%, then an individual could opt out, though more affluent consumers would stand to lose savings if they didn't carry insurance. Given that family coverage is already over 10% of the income of families at 400% of poverty level, it seems there would be a lot of middle class families who would choose to drop out.
- MaxTax taxes "Cadillac plans" 35%–but not those in the individual market (Obama last night said the tax should apply to "insurance companies most expensive policies," without specifying whether that included individuals). In the absence of such a tax on individual policies, insurance companies would have an incentive to shift group policies to lower premium lower benefit plans (they've got four years to prepare to do so, at a time when corporations are looking to cut health care costs anyway), while continuing to charge those Cadillac premiums in the individual market.
- The fees are actually not a big deal. At most levels of income, premiums will be more than 10% of income, which means people can just opt out. For those for whom this is not true–more affluent people–the $900 may be a much better deal than bad insurance.
Perhaps I'm missing something. But none of these appear to be effective means to limiting how much goes into the system in the first place (indeed, subsidizing plans without any limit on that subsidy appear to be an invitation for abuse).
The public option, at least in theory, could offer one more pressure point on insurers to keep those costs down.
All of which adds another point to my answer to "how bad is that?" By letting insurance companies write the bill, does it leave all sorts of pockets of coverage that insurance companies will exploit to maximize profit–which they will do under any scenario–without at the same time providing some means to counter that? Do those mandated, captive consumers become necessary profit points for the insurance companies, at the expense of affordability for them? To what degree does allowing the insurance companies to write the bill prevent us from limiting the total money going into the system, and as a result, move toward limiting costs all around?
And that's all before you get into the very important question of how you cut down on those sub-industries where profit is exorbitant, like Pharma. Ezra may well be right that insurance companies will do a better job of bringing down costs given whatever share of the money in the system they get than even Medicare. I agree with Scarecrow, though, that "a well-designed Public Option could exert positive influence on how the providers dealt with cost-efficiency issues." And a public option will not have, in the first place, gamed the political system to make sure as much money flowed through the system as possible.
But let me take a step back. One reason a single payer is not feasible right now is that the health care corporations have captured our political system (the other is that we'd have to replace that part of our economy before being able to forgo one of our few healthy economic areas). One of the reasons Pharma's profits are so high, and one of the reasons Obama felt the need to cut a deal with them on the side, is because Pharma has captured our political system. One of the reasons we have been unsuccessful in cutting Medicare rates is because providers have captured our political system.
That, to me, is the biggest reason you don't send out a reform plan authored by a woman stuck in a revolving door between industry and Congress. Part of incrementally reforming health care (because that's all this is) necessarily has to be incrementally retaking our political system from the industries that have captured it. And allowing them–any of them–to take over the legislative process is not the way to do that.
We may well decide that we want to employ insurance companies to help us bring down the costs of health care. But that's got to be on terms in which we employ them. Not in which the federal government is just a source of potentially unlimited subsidies, in which they employ the government to maximize profits.

What precisely are horse betting programs? People from nearly every corner of the globe have owned horses for one reason or one other, and it is for this reason that there at the moment are so many different breeds.

Now before you call me old-fashioned, understand that using mobile phones particularly when you are driving is not only illegal and inherently dangerous but can cost you your job (potentially).
A recent case in the Fair Work Commission (20 May 2016) highlighted the importance of employers ensuring that to successfully avoid applications for a relief from unfair dismissal (s.394(1) of the FWA 2009) all circumstances of the case need to be carefully and objectively considered to ensure that all parties can be seen to have been given 'a fair go all round'.
In this case, Con, a driver for private bus company Hillsbus Co. Pty Ltd who had been employed since 3 September 2015, was seen by passenger on 19 October 2105 to be using a mobile phone while driving a bus along the M2 between Wynyard to Baulkham Hills near Sydney.
The passenger observed Con tilt the phone towards him to see the screen. While he did not place the phone to his ear, the passenger complained that it was entirely inappropriate for driver to look at anything other than the road while driving. This was given to the bus company as written feedback on 21 October 2015.
Con received a letter from his employer advising of the suspension on 4 November 2015 which amongst other things, required him to attend a meeting to show due cause why the employee should continue with his employment. The employer had a clear policy which prohibited the use of any hand-held mobile phones and also included the use of hands free devices. The policy provided that any breach would be deemed serious enough to result in a summary dismissal.
Con had been provided with a driver's guide during his induction which also referred to the prohibition of the use of mobile phones while in charge of a moving vehicle. However, and the BIG But was that Con was not using it for making a call (it had no SIM card being his old phone) but was being used solely for use as a broadcasting music function to which the driver's guide was silent.
The policy provided that mobile phones could only be used during meal break times and only after the vehicle has been safely parked and secured. Con attended an interview with the Branch Manager and pleaded his case and was accompanied by a fellow employee as a support person.
Con received a termination letter on 5 November 2015 which provided him three weeks' pay in lieu of notice and Con used an internal appeal procedure made available by the employer. However, Con was again unsuccessful.
It is interesting to note that at no time prior to his dismissal did Con notify the employer that he was using the mobile phone for the purposes only to play music. Con only admitted this during a meeting with the employer at the appeal on 11 November 2015.
Con appealed to the Fair Work Commission and represented himself whilst the employer was represented by a Solicitor.
Senior Deputy President Drake determined that Con's conduct amounted to no more than a 'quick glance and tap' and 'presented no greater danger than a driver's ordinary observation of the dashboard or other implements in a moving motor vehicle and thus concluded that it was not unsafe.
The Commission determined that the termination was harsh just or unreasonable notwithstanding that the employer had a valid reason to terminate for notice and after determining that Con had been provided the opportunity (and was allowed to bring a support person to the initial meeting and the internal appeal hearing).
In the end the Commission determined that there was ambiguity and conflicting evidence about the applicability of policies to drivers notwithstanding that all drivers knew that use the mobile phone was a breach of the law.
The Commission took into consideration a previous offence of Con driving a vehicle whilst using a hand-held mobile phone and warnings given to Con relating to 'fault 'accidents' (including a final warning) but determined that these were 'not in the same category of offences as that for which he (Con) was dismissed' .
The Commission also gave weight to the delay in the employer investigating the customer complaint which contrasted with the employer's avowed reason for terminating (upon the basis of a risk to public safety) and matters raised by Con in mitigation by way of submissions on penalty as well his potential loss of income and Con's misconduct which involved issues of public safety.
Ultimately, the Commission found in Con's favour and ordered reinstatement and ordered compensation for period of time since Con's termination of employment including Con's efforts at mitigating his loss by finding alternative employment.
Clearly this was a finely balanced case but should alert readers and particularly employers that there is no open and shut case simply because there has been breach of policy or even in fact where the employer was validly entitled to terminate.

If you had to make a list of all the situations in which someone might be watching you without your knowledge, you might think about places like your home or office. You probably WOULDN'T immediately think of all those times you fill up your car's fuel tank at the gas station, yet this is actually a very common occurrence in many places. Credit card skimmers are sophisticated little devices that can copy the information on your card's magnetic strip without your knowledge. Once a duplicate card has been made, someone can do an untold amount of damage before you even realize you have an issue in the first place.
The credit card skimming problem in one Ohio town got so severe that officials recently employed a decidedly "outside the box" approach to solving it. Instead of reacting to credit card skimmers after they've already stolen the personal information of victims, they've started placing hidden cameras in strategic locations to try to catch criminals ahead of time instead.
Officials in Butler County have been taking a unique approach to credit card skimmers in recent months: They've started installing cameras inside some gas station pumps and are performing weekly checks at 100 different locations around the county.
If you think this sounds like overkill, you'd be wrong — the program is already yielding positive results. One of their cameras recently caught a would-be thief in the act, both illegally accessing a pump and retrieving the skimming device he had hidden inside at an earlier time.
The footage is startling in that it underlines just how easy skimmers are to install and retrieve. The man in question only needed to access the inside of the credit card terminal's panel slightly. In this particular case, the device itself had already been removed by law enforcement agents. The man looks directly at the spot where the skimmer used to be, sees that it is gone, closes the panel and walks away. The entire process happened in a matter of seconds.
Officials in Butler County have posted the footage retrieved from their hidden camera on the internet in an attempt to help identify the man. They warn that in addition to credit card readers at gas pumps, skimmers are also usually installed in locations such as ATMs, where credit and debit cards are commonly used.
According to one study, the total number of credit card skimmers reported to the Secret Service grew by about 10 percent per year between 2008 and 2010. Skimmers alone are estimated to cost both customers and businesses in the United States about $8 billion per year.
The type of credit card fraud made possible by skimmers is a large part of the reason why this is a problem that is only going to get worse as time goes on. According to one study conducted by Nielsen, worldwide credit card fraud losses in general exceeded $24.71 billion in 2016 — a massive 12 percent increase over 2015. ACI Worldwide, an electronic payment systems company, estimates that a devastating 46 percent of Americans have had their information stolen at some point during the last five years alone.
As is the case with most surveillance topics, the key to staying safe from credit card skimmers and other types of malicious technology involves taking a proactive approach to your daily life. When filling up your car's gas tank, always try to pay inside whenever possible instead of at the gas pump. It may be less convenient, but you're far less likely to run into a skimmer inside where an attendant is always present.
If you do insist on paying outside, you should always be suspicious of any gas pump where the security seal on the credit card reader has been broken. Also try to favor pumps that are physically close to the building, as they're much less likely to be targeted by people trying to steal the credit card information of others. Finally, be sure to use a credit card and NOT a debit card when you pay at the pump. Even if you are the victim of a credit card skimmer, you will likely be protected from this type of fraud by your card's zero-liability policy.

It actually feels like spring today. The clouds are hanging low and dark. It feels like it's going to drizzle. It's an England kind of sky. I welcome it, I suppose. As much as I love the snow. Sometimes a little change of scenery is good for the soul.
This weather makes me want to eat Cadbury mini eggs.
My childhood friend Mandy is getting married this weekend. She goes by Amanda now. Colin was supposed to go with me. But then he had to travel for work. They've rented a bus so that all the guests can go skiing/riding at the mountain together before the wedding.
Going to weddings by yourself is very strange. I've done it a few times. You feel like the odd one out. Or like everyone is watching you. (Which is the furthest thing from the truth—everyone's watching the bride.) If I had a group of friends to go with, it would be different. But I don't even know who will be there besides her family. Her family is great. Her dad used to be my doctor. It shall be a great party though. I'm sure of it.
I love Amanda. She used to be my best friend in high school. Then we went our separate ways to college and thereafter. And she and I are both terrible about staying in touch. But I still love her like an old friend. Friends for over 15 years. You know that song by Simon and Garfunkel: "Old friends. Old friends. Sit on the park bench like book ends." That's how I feel about Amanda.
Can't wait to see her in all her glory. As much as she hates that!
(P.S. Does anyone actually remember that "gay" means jovial? I like this word. It's my aunt's name. Tomorrow shall be gay!)

Its not as easy as the WHARl Arco, which I love but only last me around 3 months before I have to replace it at £120 a time. I think this will last longer as the blade unit is self contained and seems to be a lot more robust. I hope so anyway.
Geraldine from United KingdomOwner03 February 2017 20:04
I bought these to replace my 2 year old ARCOs that were falling apart. Although the trimmer is comfortable to hold and look nice, thats about the only positives I can find. The blade appeared blunt straight out of the box with only the middle settings actually cutting effectively. They are no quieter than the ARCOs and don't vibrate any less. One of my own dogs (schnauzer) hates them near his ears and I've been clipping his ears for 7 years. The charge doesn't last as long as stated and you need to keep it docked on the charger between uses. The blade is quite stiff to remove for cleaning and not easy to relocate it back on the clipper. They don't appear to clip as cleanly as the ARCOs and quite often find myself covering the same area several times to get a clean clip as it leaves tufts of hair. Plus the little cleaning brush was missing out of the box!! Very disappointed especially as they are sooooo expensive compared to other trimmers.

While making a career change is not to be taken lightly, it is also not something that should be thought of as impossibly difficult. Ask yourself if you are facing crossroads at which you need to decide between staying in your current field and moving to a new one? Then, ask yourself if you have a lot of skills that you are not using in your current career or if you have been promoted to a point where you are no longer doing what you love?
Changing careers is one of the biggest decision job-holders and job seekers alike face, and with many possible outcomes and consequences it's important that any career change is carefully planned, managed and thought through. Career changes have positively transformed the lives of many thousands of people but if you get it wrong, it can turn out to be a nightmare. Our reasons for changing careers are often the source of much contemplation and certainly self examination. While the question of what would we do next is a big one, three other questions are equally important:
1) Why do we want a change?
2) When is the right time to change?
3) Are we truly ready?
According to Penelope Trunk, the founder of Brazen Careerist, here are some bad reasons to switch careers:
1. You hate your boss. (Switch jobs, not careers.)
2. You want more prestige. (Get a therapist — you're having a confidence crisis, not a career crisis.)
3. You want to meet new people. (Try going to a bar, or Club Med. What you really want is to get a life. Pick up a hobby.)
Here are some good reasons to switch careers:
1. You want a role that is more creative, more analytic or more management-oriented.
2. You want to live in a location that does not accommodate your current career.
3. You want more flexibility or fewer hours.
Why A Change of Career?
If you have always wanted to follow a certain career path but due to circumstances, such as taking care of your children, lack of confidence, lack of money, recent experience of a change in your life – loss of job, illness, a move abroad – you have not been able to, then a time will come when you have to reassess your career choice. Past change experiences may also give you the courage to leave a job that you hate or to kick-start a career that has stagnated. Whatever your personal situation, you have to develop a career plan, then, realise that reaching the change decision is not just going to be an emotional journey, but one that is practical too. It is important that you answer the very real questions of how to gain the support of concerned family members and relatives. Then, financially, how will you cover your mortgage and other financial responsibilities if the change does not go according to plan?
See Career Development Made Easy and Take the Test.
Now, let's look at some of the signals or circumstances that will tell you that you are ready to change careers:
If you're bored to death sitting at your desk daily at work: If you have gone into your career expecting great challenges, and with specific goals in mind, and now that you have finally achieved the goals and decimated the challenges with good results, you're simply bored because no other challenges are coming your way. There is nothing more to learn and very few surprises. This circumstance is a good clean break with no confusion or ambiguity.
You detest your job: Usually people get to this point after an ongoing bombardment of unacceptable events. For instance if you have a boss that is constantly on your case, in an office where your contributions are seen as mediocre, without any offer of development opportunities and training, then, you will detest your job. People rarely leave a job because of just one thing. People can get depressed and have a dent to their self esteem and confidence. In truth, the career might have been good, but so much damage has been done that you need to walk away and start over.
The career is sinking with you in it: Some careers are shrinking fast until they no longer exist. All you have to do is think about how hot Sony Walkman was until the invention of iPod. If you were working in an assembling plant putting a Walkman together, it would not have been wise to get too comfortable the day you spot your son with his brand new Mp3 playing iPod. For example, today loads of workers in print journalism will find this situation to be true. eProducts are leading now more than ever before. Nobody should wait until they go down with the ship! It is important to think of other careers and have a plan so that you can leave before you're forced to. Let's face it; it is hard to admit things like this, so it is important that you are honest about the future of your career. Start figuring out your next move in terms of your career as soon as you discover that there might be problems ahead.
You Are Experiencing Job Burnout: Once upon a time you loved going to work everyday. You no longer feel that way. You can't stand doing your job anymore and changing employers hasn't helped. It could be time to chill for a bit, update your skills, seek other pastures, plan your future and find a career that will inspire you.
You have just gained another skill or a new qualification: If you have just finished studying or added on a skill that is highly desirable to your skills portfolio, you may want to do something that makes use of your new qualifications.
You hate nearly all the tasks you have to do at work: Agreed, every job has parts to it that we don't like to do; unfortunately the tasks in most cases are necessary. If there are too many things you do that you'd rather avoid daily at work, then, it makes no sense to remain in the role that will require the tasks. If you can change the way the tasks are performed, then suggesting a change might help because even if you change your place of work, these tasks won't go away but there might be better ways of doing them. For instance, if you are a till operator in a big supermarket and you hate counting money, then, you are in the wrong job.
You are discontent as your efforts in your field are going un-noticed: If you continue to work your back side off especially to ensure that things are going on well where you work, but all your efforts are never noticed or appreciated, then, you may have to consider changing your career. You may be a proactive person and have worked on some of the things that have dissatisfied you about your career. However, despite your best effort, nothing seems to change. It may be time to move on.
You are restless: Your career has been rewarding but it's not holding the interest for you that it used to. So, you constantly think other things look better and you are day dreaming about what it would be like to shake things up a bit. You may not feel too motivated to really take that leap, but the stirring within you is becoming a constant companion. Trust me; it is good to listen to yourself! There is a reason why your alarm clock is going off and telling you that it is time for you to change your career.
You Want to Earn More Money: Believe it or not, money isn't at the top of the list when it comes to job satisfaction. Therefore, don't be surprised if the career that will bring you higher earnings isn't the one you will find particularly satisfying. That said, if other reasons are leading you to consider a career change, higher earnings should be something you consider when you choose a new career.
Obviously, there are several other reasons why you would consider a change of career but the reasons above are the most common ones.
Pitfalls to avoid
See Top Tips for a Career Change: 10 Questions Before You Quit
So what are your own reasons for considering a career change? Does any of the above sound familiar? Talking to your mentor, a career coach or a change expert can help you make sense of your situation, and clarify what it is that has led you to consider a career change. Who knows, you might not want a career change at all, but you might want to improve your personal effectiveness at work or improve your work-life balance.
Let's hear from you if you are considering a career change.

Know Before You Go
There are tours to the bunkers but they are also accessible by public transport or walking. Finding the bunkers is not always straightforward though, and it helps to have access to a phone or other device with GPS-enabled maps. Most of the bunkers are marked on Google Maps or the map on the Bunker BS-8 website. BS-8 (and nearby BS-9 and BS-7) are probably the easiest to get to and, for energetic visitors are a good starting point to work your way back to the city along the string of fortifications.
To get to BS-8 take the number 80 bus from Zochova stop near the old town and travel for 7 stops to Kopčianska street. Once you get off, walk further down Kopčianska street until you see the signs on the right that say "bunker." Do not take the advice of Google Maps in taking other buses such as the 91 or 191 and following alternative walking paths routes. They may not look it, but they are significantly more convoluted once you get off the bus. BS-8 can also be accessed by car directly from the Austrian side of the border.

I've tried to explain encounters with Northern Lights – even thinking about Auroras puts a silly grin on my face. To lay eyes on their magic is to be changed forever. Hypnotic, mesmerizing, electric, rejuvenating and tranquil; they sing to you as their fingers touch every fibre of your being. Impossible to look away; afraid the spell might be broken.

Lipogenesis, Lipoprotein Flux & CVD Risk: Role of Meal Composition & Frequency
Location(s): United States
The past few decades heralded an era of high carbohydrate (CHO) diets, some of which are now known to worsen lipid profiles and increase Risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both diet composition and meal frequency affect lipid synthesis and kinetics, but the specific mechanisms remain unsettled. We will test the hypothesis that the conversion of CHO to fat (de novo Lipogenesis [DNL]) is a major determinant of postprandial triglyceride (TG) and Lipoprotein fluxes leading to higher levels of serum TG and dyslipidemia. We propose to perform controlled metabolic studies that use diet composition and meal frequency to modulate postprandial DNL and assess its impact on TG and apolipoprotein (apo) B fluxes, lipid profiles and Lipoprotein particle distribution. We will do so by measuring th individual contributions of very low density Lipoprotein (VLDL; from the liver) and chylomicrons (chylos, from the intestine) to overall postprandial lipoprotein-TG production and clearance in overweight and obese volunteers, a population that is at Risk for CVD. We will compare the effects of 7 days feeding with two isocaloric diets (randomly assigned) that are either high in sucrose or high in fat on postprandial DNL, VLDL-TG and chylo-TG, and apolipoprotein B100 and B48 fluxes using stable isotope tracers and sophisticated mathematical modeling. Using a randomized crossover design in participants assigned to each diet, we will also compare the magnitude of differences between successive 7-day periods of consuming small frequent meals (nibbling) and ingesting 2 daily meals, with each participant serving as his/her own control. Participants will be housed in a metabolic ward and fed constant weight-maintaining diets to assure dietary adherence and control activity. Liver lipid storage will be measured by magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, visceral fat by MR imaging, and lean and fat mass by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. To further link the dynamic fluxes to atherogenic Risk, the composition of VLDL and chylo remnants, Lipoprotein particle sizes, small dense low density Lipoprotein and high density Lipoprotein will be measured using proprietary HPLC methods and gel electrophoresis. We anticipate that these novel studies will allow us to identify, for the firs time, the mechanisms by which meal composition and frequency affect postprandial ApoB and TG fluxes and associated lipid profiles. These findings could inform efforts to develop evidence-based interventions and dietary guidance to mitigate CVD Risk.
