This dish tastes like fall smells. Perfection.
What You'll Need:
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced
coconut oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c yellow onion, minced
2 c uncooked quinoa
4 c water
sea salt
1/4 c chopped parsley
1/4 c chopped chives or green onion
2/3 c olive oil
zest of 2 lemons (nothing fancy required here, you can use a fine cheese grater!)
2 Tbsp PURE maple syrup
pinch cayenne pepper
4 c baby kale
Juice of the 2 lemons you zested
3 oz manchego cheese, shredded from the block
Preheat oven to 425* Combine ingredients from section 1 in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Spread evenly in a roasting pan, drilzzle with olive oil.
Meanwhile, cover quinoa with 4 c salted water. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes total, or until water is absorbed.
Continue with your badass multitasking skills by mixing the herb oil in section 3. Allow it to sit and the flavors to marry.
Prepare a large serving bowl with the ingredients from section 4. Toss to coat. Add roasted veggies and cooked quinoa. Mix in herb oil. Top with shredded cheese.
This makes 10-12 servings, so is perfect for a party. If preparing for a smaller group, cut the recipe in half. Uncooked cubed butternut squash freezes well uncooked and is nice to have on hand!

Shooting jewellery can sometimes combine both still life and fashion elements as part of a single campaign. Shoots like these require superb production and organisation skills. Above all, pre-planning is essential - the types and numbers of shots required, studio and prep space requirements, hair/makeup artists, stylists, props - the list isn't endless, but there are loads to be considered and addressed by both the photographer and client before the shoot to help make production run smoothly.
Someone once wrote about 'best laid plans', but if you're capable of thinking on your feet, and are creatively flexible in your technical abilities, you'll still manage to realise expectations and give your clients results they'll be delighted with.
Enter: Margo, exciting new British jewellery brand
Shot in a fantastically sourced location house in central London and produced as a team of photographer, stylist, hair/makeup artist, models and art director. Our original plan was to convey and evoke 60's luxe, and from the picture on the left, this works really well. A slight change in art direction, however, and by the end of the shoot, the preferred look swayed towards neutral, so we amended the backgrounds accordingly.
Look out for more blog posts on jewellery: model photography, creative still life and also high end video.

Most of us know intrinsically not to send money to strangers, but a surprising number of Canadians are subject to money transfer fraud every year.
Here, Western Union shares three common scams along with some tips to stay safe and prevent yourself from being victimized:
- Grandparent scam. A victim is contacted by someone who pretends to be a close family member or a person of authority, like a medical professional or attorney, stating that there is an urgent emergency. This person asks for a money transfer to be sent immediately so that the issue can be resolved. However, once the money has been received, the fraudster goes silent. To stay safe, let 'trust, but verify' be your motto. Before sending money to solve what seems to be an emergency, first verify that it is in fact an emergency. Call or text your family member in question, or another family member. Prepare a list of questions to ask ahead of time to verify their identity and whereabouts.
- Robocall scam. A robocall is an automated, pre-recorded audio message. Robocalls are often used to perpetrate immigration or tax scams. In these calls, the victim is informed that they are behind on payments and are threatened with jail time or deportation if they don't make a lump-sum payment via money transfer or a pre-paid credit card. This, however, is untrue.To stay safe, if you think you're being called by a robocaller, hang up the phone. Don't press any buttons on the call that can "redirect you to a live operator" and don't dial any other number they suggest.
- Rental property scam. Many renters use online tools to look at apartments. In these scams, the property "owner" offers a rental at a competitive price and requests a money transfer to cover a "deposit." The "owner" claims there is a need to move quickly, but once money is sent, is never heard from again.To stay safe, never pay for a property you found online using a money transfer or send money to anyone you haven't met in person. Also avoid any listing that pressures you or requires you to act immediately.
Fraudsters can be convincing. If you do send money to someone and you realize it's a scam, alert the authorities and report it to the money transfer provider — the transfer could be stopped if it hasn't been picked up. Find more smart security tips at www.wu.com/fraudawareness.

Shop Small Saturday: Think, Buy, Be Local
By Kate Johnson
Did you know that shopping local has a direct effect on how the business community operates? Spending dollars in your local stores actually turns around and benefits the community.
The small town of Beulah is able to offer its community a number of locally owned businesses. Those business owners have a sense of pride, offering patrons of this community what they need when they walk through their doors. Jerry Isaak, J&M Hardware, said it means a lot to their business, and any business, when people come in and purchase locally.
"The more business we do, the more we can give back to the community," Isaak said. "It just has a direct effect on what you can do back for the community and that type of thing."
When people spend locally, businesses are able to stay open and offer employment opportunities to the surrounding community. Isaak shared that they are also able to offer more benefits to their employees when patrons are feeding dollars into the local area by shopping local.
"If you have an active community that stays active, it's like anything else -- if it stays active, it feeds on itself and it just continues to grow," said Isaak, who also said that if communities weren't to feed into local spending, then businesses could turn and go the opposite way.

text: Guest Posted December 29, 2002 Straight to the point:1-Is there any freeware stuff that actually changes the AI's tail numbers to a regional setting? Like FH-TRY,PT-DES without touching the traffic itself. I just want to change the tail numbers, nothing more. 2- I'd like to express my sadness towards Wilco's FSNAT due to its "range limit" of 20nm around each airport in Airport FS2002 vol I. Because of that I cannot animate even a small airport 50nm away. So what good it is using FSNAT? I don't want to land at an animated airport then go to New York for example, and see that the airport has only the AI Traffic to see.It's like going back to FS5.1 "Once AI Traffic, always AI traffic". Wilco simply let me down on this one and I'd sure spend $50,00 on a FSNAT-animate-any-airport-in-the-world downloadable version.cheers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am writing these lines from the Bristol County Jail, where I was brought upon my unjust, unwarranted, and uncalled for ambush-style arrest on Tuesday November 7th at the ICE headquarters where I was asked to come in prior to my original check-in date because "they now require people to check-in twice a year." I have since been detained under inhumane conditions, and my son's life has turned upside down. He has been forcibly removed from the comfort of his home with a police escort and taken to some complete stranger's home, totally disregarding my repeated requests to have him placed with the designated people I had picked to care for him!
I had entered a hunger strike immediately after my arrest in protest, demanding a valid reason for it. However, even that basic right was coerced and extorted from me. This institution told me that if I continue to cry over what had happened to my son, that I would be strapped to a bed in the psych ward and stripped of my clothes. "Cry in the shower," they suggested. Furthermore, I was taken promptly to a segregated solitary cell, and denied access to: meds, heat, books, writing material, access to my attorney/family/DCF [Massachusetts Department of Children and Families] unless I ended my hunger strike. When they finally allowed me a call to my attorney, they made it clear I was not to contact DCF or my family, in direct contradiction with their own regulations outlined in the handbook they handed me when I first got here. Faced with this cruel and unusual emotional blackmail, I was forced to take two bites out of my food tray so I could find out, at the very least, where my son is!
I would like to take a moment to give all of you who support my just cause a heartfelt "THANK YOU"! I remain steadfast in my belief that I deserve to be in my home, with my family where I belong. ICE [United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and this place will never succeed in breaking my spirits and my faith in justice is unwavering. As for the smear campaign ICE is running against me, I find it to be a low blow, even by ICE's standards. Shame on them for trying to cover up their political retaliation against me by wrongly portraying me as a multiple felon or a "jihadist." This is straight up political, and should never be allowed.

Over the last decade, type 2 diabetes has been labeled a global health crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"), one out of three adults has prediabetes. Reaching epidemic levels in the Medicare population, care for Americans aged 65 and older with diabetes accounts for roughly $104 billion annually and diabetes prevalence is projected to double by the year 2050 if the current trend continues.
Preventive interventions to encourage weight loss, increased physical activity, and healthy eating, can considerably reduce progression to type 2 diabetes as demonstrated by the CDC's National Diabetes Prevention Program ("NDPP"). Adopting a similar model, a two-year test program, hailing from the Innovation Center at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), enrolled 7,804 Medicare beneficiaries in a diabetes prevention program ("DPP"). Providing practical training in a group environment, the scope of the program focused on long-term dietary changes, increased physical activity, and problem-solving strategies for overcoming challenges to sustaining weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. An independent evaluation of the Innovation Center's DPP model test revealed high rates of participation and sustained engagement. Lifestyle changes resulting in modest weight loss were found to sharply reduce the development of type 2 diabetes in people at high risk for the disease. Asserting a statistically significant reduction in inpatient admissions following the interventions of the DPP model, CMS decided to expand the model to potentially reduce expenditures by advancing prevention.
Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program ("MDPP")
Specifically intended to prevent prediabetes from advancing to type 2 diabetes, MDPP was incorporated as a preventive service under Medicare Part B as finalized in the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule ("MPFS"). The framework of the MDPP is an expansion of the Innovation Center's Diabetes Prevention Program model tested previously and will be compensable under a performance-driven payment model beginning April 1, 2018.
Following a CDC-approved curriculum, healthcare coaches will provide training in structured group sessions. Promoting lasting behavioral changes to encourage weight loss through healthy eating and increased physical activity is foundational to the model. Spanning a two-year program cycle, eligible beneficiaries will receive instruction surrounding sustained weight loss strategies.
Beneficiary Eligibility
Participation in the MDPP is a once per lifetime benefit and beneficiaries are eligible if they meet the following criteria:
- Body Mass Index ("BMI") of at least 25 (23 if self-identified as Asian) on the date of the first core session.
- Meet 1of 3 blood test requirements within 12 months prior to first core session: A hemoglobin
- A1c test with a value between 5.7% and 6.4%, or
- A fasting plasma glucose of 110-125 mg/dL, or
- A 2-hour plasma glucose of 140-199 mg/dL (oral glucose tolerance test)
- No previous diagnosis of diabetes prior to the date of the first core session (with exception of gestational diabetes).
- Do not have end-stage renal disease ("ESRD").
- Have not previously received MDPP services.
Overview of MDPP Services
Due to the strong correlation between weight loss and reduction in risk of type 2 diabetes, a weight loss goal of at least 5% is integral to the MDPP. Healthcare coaches encourage lifestyle modifications in group sessions, though CMS is not explicit relative to requirements concerning class size. Three distinct program segments, the initial core sessions, core maintenance sessions and ongoing maintenance sessions structure the program:
1. Core Sessions – Months 0 to 6
- A minimum of 16 sessions offered at least a week apart.
- Available to eligible beneficiaries regardless of weight loss and attendance.
- In-person and virtual make-up sessions available, must meet specific requirements
2. Core Maintenance Sessions – Months 7 -12
- A minimum of 6 monthly sessions.
- Available to eligible beneficiaries regardless of weight loss and attendance.
- In-person and virtual make-up sessions available, must meet specific requirements
3. Ongoing Maintenance Sessions – Months 13- 24
- Monthly maintenance sessions for an additional 12 months only available to eligible beneficiaries who achieve/maintain weight loss and attendance goals.
- Eligible beneficiaries have coverage for 3 month intervals of monthly maintenance sessions for up to 1 year.
- In-person and virtual make-up sessions available, must meet specific requirements.
- First 6 month core sessions, payment is based on attendance only. Incentive payments may subsequently be awarded when the beneficiary achieves 5% and 9% weight loss targets.
- Achievement of 5% weight loss during the core maintenance sessions (months 7 – 12) provides a higher payment than attendance alone, but suppliers are still eligible for payment if beneficiaries only meet attendance goals.
- Beneficiaries lose eligibility if they do not maintain 5% weight loss during the ongoing maintenance sessions (months 13 - 24).
The structure of the reimbursement model correlating payment to outcome and engagement is contained in the MPFS Final Rule.
Supplier Enrollment
Achieving and maintaining enrollment as an MDPP supplier requires compliance with standards established not only by the CDC relative to curricula, but also requirements set forth by CMS. An MDPP supplier must meet and maintain either MDPP preliminary recognition or full CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program ("DPRP") recognition. Interim preliminary recognition bridges the gap until the CDC preliminary recognition can be established, allowing supplier enrollment in Medicare during this period. Organizations who wish to furnish and bill Medicare for these services must enroll in Medicare expressly as an MDPP supplier.
The enrollment process requires prospective suppliers to complete a MDPP-specific application and further stipulates that they must pass enrollment screening at the high categorical risk level. A list of MDPP coaches who will lead sessions must be furnished at the time of enrollment and any subsequent changes to the coaching roster must be reported within 30 days.
Coach Eligibility
CMS established that eligible individuals should meet the criteria outlined by the CDC's DPRP standards, and the CDC maintains that community healthcare workers and lay people may be effective coaches. While coaches may have credentials, such as Registered Dietician or Registered Nurse, they do not have to be licensed healthcare professionals, nor must they be supervised by licensed medical professionals.
Coaches must obtain an National Provider Identifier ("NPI"), but are not necessarily enrolled in the Medicare program. Furthermore, an individual is only eligible for furnishing MDPP services after being screened by CMS or its contractors. Coaches identified on a MDPP supplier's roster will be screened by way of background checks as part of the enrollment process for suppliers.
Reimbursement of MDPP services is driven by outcomes as a performance-based payment model. It incentivizes beneficiary engagement, rewarding suppliers for ongoing patient attendance as well as patients achieving target weight loss as follows:
Additionally, the NPI of coaches rendering MDPP services will be required on claims. Based on both criminal background as well as state and federal healthcare program exclusions, CMS finalized a list of ineligibility criteria that would preclude individual coaches from directly furnishing MDPP services.
Supplier Standards
MDPP Suppliers must maintain compliance with specific administrative standards and location requirements. Community settings may be used to render MDPP services, but having at least one administrative location is required. In addition to maintaining documentation of MDPP sessions, coach information, date and place of service, as well as beneficiary information is expected to be collected and furnished to the CDC for evaluation of performance under the DPRP.
Incentives for Patient Engagement
Demonstrated in the DPP model tested previously, sustained attendance and weight loss correlate to high levels of beneficiary engagement. The performance-based payment methodology for MDPP services, which ties payments to outcomes, incentivizes suppliers to be engaged in beneficiaries' weight loss efforts.
To cultivate patient engagement, MDPP suppliers are permitted to provide incentives that will foster success. Items or services that advance outcomes and the clinical goals for the beneficiary may be appropriate to encourage participation. Incentives must be reasonably connected to the diabetes prevention curriculum and consistent with the nature of the program. In addition to restrictions and limitations surrounding administration of incentives, MPDD suppliers must comply with all record keeping requirements.
Without preventive intervention, many people with prediabetes are likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The inaugural policy year commencing in April, establishes the first preventive service of its kind under the Medicare program giving Medicare beneficiaries access to MDPP services in both community and healthcare settings to encourage wellness and potentially mitigate disease progression.
SunStone offers services specifically geared to assisting hospitals, health systems, and independent multi-specialty physician groups manage the ever-changing regulatory environment. If you have any questions regarding the new MDPP program, please contact Vonda Moon, Principal at email@example.com or Cathy Archuleta, Manager at email@example.com.

The Allsop Buyers Survey, asked at the point of exchange since 2012, picks up on trends and sentiment amongst buyers which helps us look forward.
The survey reveals a similar overall trend as seen in last year's summer review, but with some differences. The majority of buyers in the auction room are experienced, are relying on cash reserves to complete and are looking to buy again at auction in the near future. This year we have seen an increase in local/ domestic buyers looking for opportunities to purchase close to their homes. Demand for £1m+ lot sizes has increased on last years, perhaps reflective of the recent supply.
Have you bought a property at auction before?
The majority of buyers in the room have bought at auction before (82%). This continues a trend seen over the past few years with marginally more first time auction buyers coming to the room in 2018 than in previous years (18% in 2018, 14% in 2017). This increasing number of first time buyers is probably attributable to the lack of correctly priced stock on the market elsewhere. The auction room presents a straight forward and secure method to purchase a property compared to often long and complicated private treaty transactions. (Graph A)
How far are you located from the property you have purchased?
This year we have seen a rise in the number of local buyers over recent past years (45% in 2018, 36% in 2017). This increase is likely to be a result of heightened caution by some investors who previously might have ventured further afield in their purchases and now deciding to purchase in areas close to their home, in areas they know well. The number of investors looking outside of their home region for assets remains high at 56% albeit down on recent years (63% in 2017, 58% in 2016). (Graph B)
How do you intend to fund the purchase?
Although cash remains prevalent amongst buyers to fund purchases in the room (73%), the number of buyers seeking finance between exchange and completion has increased on the previous year. This corresponds with the findings of our own valuation team who have seen a marked improvement in the availability of funds from lenders, both for new purchases and refinancing. (Graph C)
Do you intend to buy another commercial property at auction in the next 12 months?
The answer to this question continues to give encouragement that the market will remain strong and why we feel changes in the market are price driven rather than investors moving their money out of real estate. 89% of buyers state their intention to buy another commercial property at auction in the next 12 months. This represents a continual increase on recent years (80% in 2017 and 78% in 2016). Looking ahead over the next 5 years. 98% of buyers intend to buy another commercial property at auction (96% in 2017 and 93% in 2016). This high figure highlights that commercial property presents and remains an attractive investment opportunity to many investors and they will look to the auction room to make their purchases. (Graph D)
How much do you intend to invest in any single property?
Demand from investors for larger lot sizes has continued to grow with 37% of buyers looking to invest £1m+ in any single property (27% in 2017, 27% in 2016 and 30% in 2015). This is perhaps reflective of the volume of larger lots being offered in the auction room. Mid-sized demand also remains strong with 57% of investors seeking to purchase lot sizes between £250,000 – £1,000,000 (64% in 2017 and 63% in 2016). It is likely that demand remains strong for these mid-sized lots as investors exit residential "buy to let" holdings and move into commercial property amongst other investments. (Graph E)
Allsop £1m+ Lots

The Opposition Leader repeated the call, first made one year ago, as she lamented a worsening of the economy, pointing to downgrades by international rating agencies, layoffs, university students unable to get promised bursary assistance, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital's chronic debt to suppliers, and the recent Sagicor announcement that it intends to move its domicile to a country with a better international financial rating.
"I say the time has come for us to demand [that] Freundel Stuart form a group. If you don't want to call it the eminent persons group, you could call it whatever name you want," Mottley said at a meeting of the Barbados Labour Party's St Lucy branch at the Darryl Jordan Secondary School.
Insisting that she wanted to see the country's economic problems addressed in a partisan manner, the Opposition Leader added: "The country is bleeding . . . and we have to put every allegiance aside to stop this country from bleeding . . . Bring the best and the most caring and let us get to the task of saving Barbados such that the fate of this country would not be the same fate as Sagicor in leaving this country's domicile after 175 years.
"When we finish stop the bleeding then we can take back up [political] positions for the country to decide who can truly govern this country and take it to the next level."
When Mottley first made the call in January 2014, former BLP leader Owen Arthur publicly dismissed the idea.
Mottley acknowledged that last night but insisted, "the Barbados Labour Party still believes that all hands on deck are needed".
"We do not believe that we have all the answers but we believe that we have the confidence of the people in the country and are secure in ourselves to relate to the people of the country," she said.
"The intent of my speech is to say that Barbados is bleeding and we need an intervening act. There has to be an intervening act because people can't take three and a half more years of this.
"We have reached a point now where time is running out on us," Mottley added, accusing Government of making empty promises while more Barbadians fell into hard times.
"In the name of the people of this country, I say to Freundel Stuart, do decent by Barbados. This is not about an electoral victory . . . This is about serving our country and protecting a way of life," the BLP leader added.

This page is being used to dump data about NPCs from the construction set. The current contents are Morrowind Enchanters, Blacksmiths, Ingredient Merchants, Transport Providers, and quest-related NPCs. It should contain most (if not all) non-generic NPCs who need to have a dedicated NPC page, excluding some NPCs whose pages have already been created. Although it doesn't look like it at first glance, the data is all preformatted to make use of the new Template:NPC Summary template. If you would like to setup a NPC page using the new template, pick any one of the following subpages, and cut and paste the info for any NPC.
Basically all that you need to do is cut and paste an entry; follow the built-in comments in each entry to take care of the most important points.
If you'd like more detailed step-by-step instructions, read on:
- Choose a NPC (or section of NPCs) to edit. Check Recent Changes to see whether anyone else seems to be currently working on any NPCs. If someone is currently working on NPCs starting with "A", for example, then try starting at "U" to make sure you don't overlap.
- Edit the subpage, highlight and cut the entire chunk of text for a NPC (from
}}, inclusive), then save the page. Be sure to save the subpage before going much further, because by deleting the entry you make sure that someone else won't try to work on the same NPC at the same time.
- Paste the entire chunk of text into the top of the NPC page.
- Change
{{NPC Summary
- Delete the line that starts
- Add in info for "city", "house"/"store", "sells" (i.e., every line that says "fill in info")
- There are a few ways to provide info on where to find the NPC, depending upon what's most appropriate. If the NPC doesn't even live in a city, you can delete the |city= and |house= parts, and instead just use |loc=. Or if the NPC lives in a city but not in a house or store, you can delete the |house part and replace it with, e.g., |loc=Mages Guild. Basically, any combination of |city=, |house=, |store=, and |loc= can be used depending upon the NPC.
- From what was previously on the page, delete
{{Morrowind NPC Trail}}, and any
- Image:
- If the page contains an image, move the image into the template using
|imgdesc=tags (see Gundalas for an example).
- If the page does not contain an image but you think it needs one (in particular if the NPC is an important NPC, e.g., plays a prominent role in a quest), add a {{NeedsImage}} tag so other editors know to add a screenshot.
- If the page contains an image, move the image into the template using
- Cleanup the rest of the pre-existing page contents as needed.
- Do a sanity check of the info: are there major discrepancies from what's already on the page? If so, post a note on the talk page so that someone can manually check the construction set.
- Save the new NPC page.
- The tables shown on these pages do not show all the data available in each NPC's entry, because the table would be much too large. It mainly shows some of the info that might need to be doublechecked. The full data is accessible if you edit the page.

A handful of rare works of art have just been auctioned off at SBI Art Auctions Harajuku. Amongst the number of artists' work going under the hammer, a very special KAWS screenprint lithograph from the late '90s has just sold for close to $127,000 USD.
The piece of art, which is reminiscent to KAWS' early subvertising graffiti work on New York bus shelters, was estimated to fetch somewhere between ¥3,000,000 JPY – ¥6,000,000 JPY (approximately $26,500 USD – $53,000 USD). Photographer Ryan Lindow was able to attend the auction, and catch all the action as the moc-Calvin Klein ad featuring model Christy Turlington closed out in just under four minutes. The sales from SBI Art Auctions Harajuku brought in a total of ¥367,356,000 JPY (approximately $3,243,000 USD), and featured works from the likes of Yayoi Kusama, Hajime Sorayama, MADSAKI, Barry McGee, Banksy, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, and Gerhard Richter.

Colonists tossed 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor in protest of "taxation without representation."
Do you see yourself as a U.S. history buff? From knowing about colonial times to the Cold War, do you dominate trivia night whenever the American history questions pop up?

Jacqueline has been established for many years and her client list boasts our very own Queen Elizabeth, Royal Family members, Kings & Princes of various nations, the glitterati and other glamourous society people.

Kind Words
"We have used Jaqueline for many family photo sessions over the years, in the studio when our twins were ten months old and on location at both our houses using our beautiful gardens a couple of years later. The photo sessions resulted in fabulous family photos, which we were extremely pleased with. Jacqueline has a great eye for a good shot and makes everyone feel relaxed and at ease in her friendly yet professional manner. We included our three whippets in the session at our house and we have some lovely images of us all. We bought large canvases & frames of the children and some beautiful large wall art. The quality of the framing and canvases is wonderful and far superior to anything I had previously bought. Overall I would say she is a fantastic family photographer both in the studio and in your own home"
"The whole experience from the beginning was exciting and enjoyable. To me the most memorable part of the journey was the viewing in Jacqueline's lovely studio. To see all the best shots of me & my horse on a large screen was amazing. I knew the results would be good but I was not expecting them to be as incredible as they were and how deeply they would affect me. I did not think it possible to love my horses more, but Jacqueline has made just that happen. It feels as if I have my horses physically at home with me. She has captured the essence of them. Their beauty takes my breath away. I cannot recommend Jacqueline highly enough. She is professional yet delightful to spend time with. Jacqueline, thank you for giving me something unique and priceless."

AIDS Home > Generic Prezista
At this time, Prezista (darunavir ethanolate) is available as a brand-name drug only, despite the fact that its first patent has expired. The next patent is set to expire in February 2015. It's possible that a generic version could be introduced after this date, barring any lawsuits or other patents for specific uses of the drug.
Prezista™ (darunavir ethanolate) is a prescription AIDS and HIV medication. It belongs to a class of medications known as protease inhibitors and is approved only to be used in combination with other HIV medications. Prezista should always be used with ritonavir (Norvir®), another HIV medication that increases the level of Prezista in the blood, making it more effective.
Prezista is made by Ortho Biotech Products. It is currently under the protection of patents that prevent any generic Prezista from being manufactured in the United States.
The first patent for Prezista already expired in February 2013. Yet, no generic versions are available. This strongly suggests that one or more later-expiring patents are still protecting the drug from generic competition. The next patent set to expire will do so in February 2015.This is the earliest possible date that a generic version of Prezista could become available. However, other circumstances could come up to extend the exclusivity period of the medicine beyond 2015. This could include such things as other patents for specific Prezista uses or lawsuits. Once the patent expires, several companies will likely begin manufacturing a generic Prezista drug.
No -- darunavir is the active ingredient in Prezista, but is not a generic version of it. What can be confusing is that, oftentimes, the active ingredient of any drug is referred to as the "generic name." The generic name is different from a generic version of a medicine. In order for there to be a generic version of a medicine, the original medicine must have gone off-patent and another company besides the original manufacturer must make the product.

At a meeting at his summer residence with the Guardian and a group of foreign academics and journalists yesterday Mr Putin praised Mr Zubkov, describing him as a "brilliant administrator and true professional". He also said his friend and former colleague from his days in St Petersburg could be a candidate for the presidential elections in March, something Mr Zubkov has said is a possibility.
With his popularity still high, the Russian press has been speculating that Mr Putin might change the constitution to seek a third term if, as expected, the ruling party, United Russia, wins the parliamentary elections set for December.
But Mr Putin insisted this was out of the question, suggesting this would be to tinker with democracy.
"I have no intention to reduce everything I've done to zero," he said. But he would still play a role in Russia's public life. "I hope to be fit enough and I have the desire to do so. Any future president will have to reckon with that."
Although he said he would "do anything" to ensure the next president's independence, analysts believe Mr Putin might want a weak one-term president so that he can return to power in 2012. Most political analysts believe that Mr Zubkov, 66 today, is too old to harbour genuine presidential ambitions.
On foreign policy, Mr Putin urged George Bush to set a timetable for a complete withdrawal of US troops from Iraq and said he failed to see what the US had achieved after four years of occupation.
"I believe it's better to delineate a timeframe for withdrawal," he said when asked by the Guardian about Iraq. Using the argument of many US senators he said this would "encourage the Iraqi leadership to concentrate if they know that the US will leave by a date certain.
"Without it they will have no commitment to build up their security forces."
Mr Putin, looking relaxed and confident, suggested the Americans had not brought Iraq real democracy. "What kind of democratisation can they have in the context of military action?" he asked.
He disagreed with those who recommend Iraq's partition as the best or only solution. "This would not end the Iraq problem but start a new one," he said.
Mr Putin's comments came hours after Mr Zubkov was endorsed by the Russian parliament as the new prime minister. MPs in the 450-seat state Duma voted by 381 to 47 to back his nomination.
Mr Putin was also directly critical of the US. "I don't interfere in your politics, please don't interfere in ours," he told a Washington academic referring to US funding for opposition groups and human rights organisations in Russia. He said independence was a very "expensive" thing in the modern world and only a few big countries such as India, China and Russia could afford it.
"Unfortunately, in some eastern European countries defence ministers are cleared by the US ambassador," before they are appointed, he said. "You know how decisions in Nato are taken," he said, hinting that the United States dominates the alliance undemocratically.
"Russia is a country which cannot live without its own sovereignty. It will either be independent and sovereign or it will be nothing," he said.
He brushed aside criticism of alleged pressure on independent political parties and claims that Russia had become more authoritarian under his rule. "We are developing a multi-party system. I've been thinking a lot about how Russia should be governed after 2008. I see no solution other than democracy and a multi-party system," he said. He implied Russia was following international laws. "We are not inventing our own Russian wheel or our own moonshine democracy," he said.
In a competent but uninspiring parliamentary debut yesterday, Mr Zubkov said he would like to make several reforms. But he made it clear he would leave politics to Mr Putin. "I believe our priorities should be the strategic targets - set out in the president's state of the nation addresses in the past few years," he told parliament.
Mr Zubkov said he wanted to improve pensions, keep inflation down, and help Russia's impoverished regions. He said he was keen to boost the defence industry and set up a new agency to fight corruption, Russia's most ubiquitous problem.
Mr Zubkov was deputy to the future president from 1992 to 1993 in the external affairs department of the St Petersburg mayor's office.
Mr Putin failed to mention the two men previously seen as the leading candidates to take over next spring. They are Sergei Ivanov, Russia's former defence minister, and Dmitry Medvedev - the first deputy prime minister. Ivanov was the favourite.
Vladimir Putin's interview yesterday was during a meeting of about 40 foreign experts on Russia invited by the state news agency, Ria Novosti. Most were from the US, Britain, Germany, China and Japan. He started the meeting with a two-and-a-half hour lunch in which he took questions then invited the group to a villa where he offered drinks on a terrace with a magnificent view to waves breaking 100 feet below. In a rare view for foreigners, he led the way through his own office, past his desk where the Russian flag stood behind his chair. The group, known as the Valdai Discussion Club, has come to Russia every summer since 2004. Mr Putin has received them in different venues each time. This year's location, in the subtropical luxury of Russia's Black sea coast, was the most exotic.

MediRevv Service Spotlight: Self Pay Extended Business Office
This marks the first in a series of posts about the services offered by MediRevv. Check back regularly for in-depth reviews of the specific solutions we offer to address today's revenue cycle challenges.
The thing about self pay is that it is (or is perceived to be) the hardest revenue to collect. Most healthcare organizations focus their efforts so heavily on collecting from insurance companies that they leave self pay dollars to age. Why? Collecting self pay is unquestionably time and effort intensive, requires navigating a host of legal and regulatory complexities, takes the right staff members to do it well, and demands direct contact with the patient, which may be a source of tension and angst.
Truth is, there is and will continue to be a steady increase in self pay. Rising insurance costs and the resulting HDLP (High Deductible Low Premium) plans offered by employers are primary reasons, but there are also hundreds of thousands of uninsured and underinsured individuals in our country who pay out of pocket for medical services.
MediRevv encourages clients to think about self pay as an opportunity rather than a burden. We offer a paradigm shift, first and foremost, accompanied by a plan that is laid out in tandem with our client. Besides broad experience, we bring customized tools to maximize cash collections and maintain a positive patient healthcare experience. Depending on our client's needs, we customize a variety of self pay A/R management needs, including ongoing early-out programs, self pay backlog programs and A/R reduction projects.
Our Self Pay Service offerings include:
- Day One Self Pay Program Management
- Automated Dialing and Call Balancing Technology
- Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Solutions
- Call Recording
- Patient Friendly Statements
- Patient Pay Web Portal
- Skip Tracing Services
- Financial Assistance Program Administration
- Self-Pay Credit Balance Resolution
- KPI Reporting Tools
If you are facing RCM challenges, outsourcing self pay is a great place to start bringing more revenue to your organization. For specific examples, check out what we were able to do for Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California (USC) and Advocate BroMenn Medical Center.
