Japanese Garden Nieuwerkerk
Japanese Garden Nieuwerkerk
For the upgrade of a Japanese garden in Nieuwerkerk aan de ijssel, the Netherlands, we have made a number of designs to replace the existing buildings with buildings with a more Japanese appearance. The existing barn will be replaced by a Japanese small house "Nagasu" with a small veranda or "Engawa" in front. From this house a zig-zag path runs to the opposite side of the dry river to the Koshikake to be realized. Against the wall of the house further into the garden a combination of a firewood storage room and tool cabinet for the garden tools "Sutoreji" is realized. At the head end of this storage we created space for an antique Japanese Nuresagi Gata lantern.
All buildings will be build from Western Red Cedar and left untreated. Western Red Cedar is very durable and turns beautifully gray over time. All visible connections are realized through traditional Japanese techniques where the invisible connections are made using modern screw connections.

STO ListPlease contact us at [email protected] , we will list your STO project here.
What are Security Token Offerings (STOs)A security token offering (STO) is a fund-raising tool that is similar to an ICO. The main difference is that, with an STO, there are regulations that hold the token issuers accountable for their actions.
Security tokens are financial securities. They backed up by tangible assets, like the revenue, profits or assets of the company. Security tokens often come with specific rights in the same way as ordinary shares in a company do. Voting rights, for example, and revenue distribution.
A security token works in the same way as a conventional security does. Except that, ownership is confirmed via blockchain transactions. The use of blockchain technology also makes partial ownership of security token possible. Security tokens are governed by the same regulations that conventional securities are. This provides investors with greater confidence in them. Security tokens are, in effect, programmable securities.
The rapid rise of ICOs has established them as a viable method of crowdfunding. However, while ICOs have helped many companies raise funds, the lack of regulation over ICOs has led to some issues. To combat these issues, a curated STO List was needed. That's why ICO Toplist is now hosting an STO list so that a broader audience can find the best STO projects.
Why we need STO list?We created the STO list on this website to help connect people with viable STO projects. Having already helped many people to connect to ICO projects, we decided that the same thing was needed for STO projects.
The Growth of Security Token Offerings (STOs)Blockchain technology has been continually advancing since it first began to gain prominence. That was initially due popularity of Bitcoin in the early days. Now, with the advances in smart contracts, STOs are growing in popularity. They are providing a new computerized way of raising funds within an established legal framework. STOs are beginning to emerge as a potential replacement of ICOs.
4 Layers in STOsIssuance Platforms
Issuance platforms provide facilities for companies to tokenize their securities. They also provide a platform for people to invest in those tokens. Issuance platforms are responsible for creating smart contracts for the issuing of security tokens. Smart contracts that are acceptable to both issuers and investors.
Blockchain Protocols
Security tokens do not use their own specific technology. They are developed on existing blockchain protocols. Currently, the best-known of those blockchain protocols is Ethereum. However, there are other protocols now entering the space as well.
One of the most important components of the digital asset ecosystem is the exchanges. Exchanges facilitate the trading of security tokens, which brings liquidity into the equation. A token has no value at all if no one is prepared to buy them. The trading the takes place on exchanges places a value on tokens.
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are not the same thing as legitimate bonds. Smart contracts are basically a programming language set by the blockchain protocol. In a perfect world, all tokens would be backed by a utility. That is, they would be used to fund the development of a cryptocurrency that will be used to purchase goods or services. This is why they are sometimes called utility tokens. The definition of legitimate bond is a complicated one. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which is an independent agency of the US government, views Bitcoin as a commodity. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defines cryptocurrency as property. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have indicated that many ICOs are securities. Commodity exchanges that provide a spot market or currency trading do not need to be licensed as a regulated entity. However, a platform that offers securities is required to register as a national exchange or alternative trading system (ATS). Or, it should apply as a broker-dealer. Companies that are involved with financial assets, such as bank deposits, and bonds, are required to comply with consumer protection laws, the USA Patriot Act, and the Bank Secrecy Act.
Advantages of Security TokensThe issuing of security tokens under the relevant regulations tends to be much faster and cheaper than raising funds through an initial public offering. Tokens that have been classified as securities often provide investors with the opportunity of benefiting from dividends as well as making profits and being granted voting rights. This is the same as it would be with shares in publicly traded companies.
Cost Effective
Unlike other models for investment, there are no administrative costs associated with the buying and selling of tokens. The lower cost is part of what enables people to make substantial returns on their investment in tokens.
Fast and Efficient
The process of buying and selling security tokens to accredited investors is fast and efficient. This is thanks to the automation of the meeting the requirements of KYC and AML regulations.
Worldwide Trading Capability
Security tokens enjoy high levels of liquidity, and they are traded on a global market. This provides access to tokens to anyone in the world. The fact that security tokens have are now accepted as financial instruments and they are being readily adopted has also helped to reinforce liquidity levels.
Trading 24/7
The ability to exchange security tokens 24/7, any time, any day, makes them very attractive. Much more so than other conventional securities that can often only be traded at certain times of the day.
Disadvantages Security Tokens
Excessive regulation could be one of the factors that may slow the growth in the use of security tokens. This includes limitations on who will be able to invest in security tokens. Regulations with regards to who may take part in security token offerings may also impact on the liquidity of security tokens. The secondary trading of conventional securities usually involves middlemen, such as brokers. The tracking of securities can also be time consuming and costly, because the burden is on the issuers to safeguard against regulatory risk. It is these inefficiencies that force the issuers of securities to impose restrictions on trading. That, in turn, leads to a lack of liquidity. This can prevent issuers from realizing the full value of the underlying asset.

Hi Karen,
I thought I'd let you know about the Umbria trip. It was fabulous. The Agriturismo Camiano Piccolo is comfortable & has enough charm & age to make it a good, old fashioned stay. The family who run it are wonderful, very warm & gracious & helpful. They speak English which makes it easier if you have no Italian. It is 10 minutes walk into Montefalco which is a picturesque hill town, a bit quiet in winter but it would be more lively in warmer months. I had 2 cooking classes at the agriturismo with Giuseppe, who is the chef & one of the owning family. He pretty much runs it. I had another class at a boutique villa hotel in Montefalco, which was also great. They stuck very much to traditional Umbrian food which is flavourful & rustic, but also has lots of truffles. The surrounding towns we visited were quite interesting: Perugia was very mediaeval, Spoleto was charming, Bavagna cute & Norcia interesting (being in the worst earthquake zone). The food at the agriturismo never stopped; 4 courses every night + a jug of wine. The winery visits were good, a mixture of big & small, & when I asked to go to a particular one this was no problem. The 2 guides I had, Cristina & Marco were marvellous; very knowledgeable about the area – its history, food & wine – & with excellent English. It was wonderful being in a group of one, the service excellent. Loved the ceramics in Deruta & bought a few things! Upon reflection, the only criticism I would have is that when you are taken to a town, they could include visits to a couple of the major attractions. I was certainly shown where everything was & important landmarks, but perhaps that could be something that would be nice. The truffle hunt was great & the people who ran that were very interesting; event though my Italian is limited we had a great conversation around the lunch table. All in all, it really is not to be missed!
Best Wishes,

SIP is the most popular signalling protocol in VOIP ecosystem. It is most suited to a caller-callee scenario , yet however supporting scalable conferences on VOIP is a market demand. It is desired that SIP must for multimedia stream but also provide conference control for building communication and collaboration apps for new and customisable solutions.
Role of SIP in conference involves
- initiating confs
- inviting participants
- enabling them to join conf
- leave conf
- terminate conf
- expel participants
- configure media flow
- control activities in conf
Centralised vs Mesh signalling for Multi participant conf
In a Centralised signalling model , all communication flows via a centralised control point
In a decentralised or mesh signalling structure , participants can communicate p2p
Unicast vs Multicast Media Distribution
Decentralised Media , Multi unicast streaming
Decentralised media , Multicast
Centralised Media / MCU
Conference types
1. Bridge
Centralised entity to book conf , start conf , leave conf . Therefore single point of failure potentially .
To create conf : conf created on a bridge URL , bridge registers on SIP Server, participants join the conf on the bridge using INVITES
To stop conf : either participant can Leave with BYE or conf can terminate by sending BYE to all
2. Endpoints as Mixer
Endpoints handle stream , decentralised media , therefore adhoc suited
mixer UAs cannot leave untill conf finishes
3. Mesh
complex and more processing power on each UA required
no single point of failure but endpoints have to handle NATIng

For many objects at the San Diego Museum of Man, life as a part of our Ethnographic Collections is only the latest step in an already fascinating journey. One such object is one of our most recent acquisitions, a New Caledonian Ceremonial Axe. This item was donated to SDMoM by Libby Hurlich in memory of her brother, Harold N. Ellison.
Harold acquired the axe during his stay on the island of New Caledonia during World War II. An expert in water management, Harold was often sent ahead of the US military to prepare new locations for military facilities. It was during one such trip to New Caledonia in 1942 when Harold received quite the surprise: Japanese forces had arrived on the island and begun an occupation! Harold, with the help of local New Caledonians, retreated safely into the mountains and went into hiding. He spent months evading capture by the Japanese, all the while receiving food and aid from local villagers. Eventually, the United States military forces were able to free New Caledonia from the occupying Japanese and establish their own presence on the island, thus allowing a very relieved Harold to come out from hiding and fulfill his original purpose.
Harold was immensely grateful to the local New Caledonians who had kept him alive and safe, so much so that he stayed on the island well after he had finished establishing the new US base. He taught the local villagers about water use, conservation, and reclamation in order to thank them for all they had done. Finally, in 1945, it was time for Harold to return home. The New Caledonians were so thankful for all that he taught them that they presented him with an item of great esteem, a Ceremonial Axe. The Axe came home with him and stayed in the family until 2012 when it came to us at SDMoM, a reminder of the many, and often surprising, ways that different cultures connect.

Childhood is the developing phase of a child. In that age, all of the creative abilities of the children unlock and you can clearly find out what they are good at and what they want to be in their professional lives. Interests and habits developed in the young have a long-term and strong impact on their lives. Every parent tries to provide their child with the most reliable and at home. In curricular or extra-curricular activities, when kids perform well and are appreciated, they get highly motivated and determined. Just like that, if some visitors or even parents of child appreciate the organization and interior of the child's, it enhances his self-respect and confidence. So, furniture and interior décor of child's room need to be elegant and neat enough, that they may find their room comfortable and productive.

Modern American furniture has introduced a lot of stuff for children to furnish their bedrooms and study, such as, children bunk beds, lofts, kids' cabin beds, stylish kids' wooden table and chairs with different styles and themes.
Kids' Wooden Table and Chairs:
Like other furniture in a kid's room, table and chairs are also compulsory. There is variety of kid's seating you can easily find in the market in kid's section. Kids' stuff is especially manufactured to attract the children to use it and enhance their creativity and learning. Plastic or wooden table and chairs are available in different colors and styles. Here are some factors that matter while purchasing kids' wooden table and chairs:
Size of Chairs:
Before purchasing the chairs, check out if the size of the chairs is reasonable or not. If you don't have the right size, your kid won't be comfortable while sitting in it.
Kids table and chairs are normally manufactured with plastic or painted wood. You can choose either of them but make sure the surface of the table is washable.
Kids' Choice:
Being a parent, you must look into the stuff, after all, you can make better choices for them, but do ask their likes and dislikes before purchasing furniture for them. Ask them about the colors and themes they like, and make a purchase according to that.

Global Papal Prayer Network Growing
Last year, more than 13 million people around the world watched Pope Francis explain one of his specific prayer intentions each month.
The 90-second, personal explanations in "The Pope Video", first launched in January 2016, encouraged people to join an estimated 50 million Catholics who already had a more formal relationship with The Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network — better known by its former title, the Apostleship of Prayer.
The prayer network, which is more than 170 years old, continues to evolve.
After the debut in 2016 of the monthly video on www.thepopevideo.org, the new year began with Pope Francis adding a second monthly intention—an urgent prayer appeal. For January the appeal was for the homeless struggling with cold temperatures and indifference.
For decades the Apostleship of Prayer distributed two intentions for each month: one focused on needs in mission territories and the other on a matter considered more universal. The lists were published a full year in advance after going through a long process of collecting suggestions, getting input from Vatican offices and being translated.
Pope Francis has decided now that the prepared list of prayer intentions will alternate each month between a missionary concern and a universal one. The second prayer for the month will be announced at the beginning of the month by the pope during his Sunday Angelus address.
The urgent intention will then be shared with members of the prayer network through its websites, social media and email.
Jesuit Father Luis Ramirez, assistant international director of the prayer network, said that the urgent prayer request does two things. First, it strengthens the spiritual experience of those who are joining in prayer, letting them know they do not pray alone. And, more importantly, it lets those suffering know that the pope sees their pain and is trying to rally assistance.—CNS

Plasti Dip is a liquid elastic coating that, when it dries, forms a layer of rubber protection. The number of layers to be applied depends on the desired end result. It can arise on a number of materials. Originally, it is used in car body and car decoration. It is used in cosplay to smooth foam pieces and fill the small holes. It is recommended to use it in a well ventilated area and not too hot, so the polymerization won't speed up. The wearing of adequate protection (masks, gloves and goggles) is mandatory. It is also recommended to cover the arms to avoid contact with the skin. It is possible to remove the Plasti Dip once on the skin, but you will lose some hair.

The Pool (2007)
The Pool is a gracious look at the severe class divisions in India. A hotel worker becomes infatuated with a wealthy family's pool and then the family itself. The relationship between the two parties grows and understanding starts to form.
I quite enjoyed it, mostly because the poorer characters were so interesting and risk-taking.

Wild Alaskan Sockeye Fish Cakes
Everyone loves fishcakes and these are no exception. The appeal of these ones is that flakes of fish are large and juicy and the potatoes are crushed rather than being mashed so they have lots of texture and fresh chopped herbs. The fishcakes are fried and served with freshly made mayonnaise. They are simple to make and can be made with leftover fish or potatoes, so they are good at any time of the week
450g potatoes peeled and chopped
4 spring onions finely chopped
1 handful of rocket roughly chopped
3 sprigs of dill picked
3 sprigs of flat leaf parsley picked. Save the stalks for poaching the salmon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon zested
300g raw salmon fillet
To poach the salmon
300g wild salmon fillets
400ml of milk
10 black peppercorns
parsley stalks
2 bay leaves
flour for dusting
olive oil for frying
Place the salmon fillet skin side down on a tray. Cover with milk and season with parsley stalks, black peppercorns and bay leaves and seal with tin foil. Poach in the oven at 180° C for 20 minutes until cooked.
Cut the potatoes into even pieces bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. When soft drain off water and then roughly crush the potatoes. You are not making a smooth mash, but leaving some texture.
When the potatoes are cool, add the chopped spring onions and the lemon zest and the chopped rocket. Chop the parsley and the dill together and then set aside about 1/3 for the mayonnaise. Add the remaining chopped herbs to the potato with the salt, pepper and the cayenne pepper.
Mix together continuing to break up the potatoes without making them into a smooth mash. When the salmon is cooked, remove from the milk and allow to drain. Flake the salmon and discard any bones or skin. Add the flaked fish to the potato and herb mixture. When mixing together, keep the fish in as larger pieces as possible.
Fry a little of the mixture to taste the fishcakes before you roll them all. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if desired. Roll the mixture into balls that fit into the palm of your hand, about 150 -160g or just smaller than a tennis ball. Lightly dust the balls with flour, and pat then flat into fish cakes. If the mixture is too wet add a little extra flour to soak up some of the moisture and stick the fishcakes together.
Heat a pan over a medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and fry the fish cakes until golden brown, about three minutes. With a spatula gently turn the fish cakes over and brown on the other side. It is important that the oil is hot before you start to cook the fish cakes. Do not overload the pan, as it will drop the temperature of the pan. Drain the browned fishcakes on absorbent kitchen paper to soak up any oil and keep them warm in the oven while you are cooking the remainder of the cakes. Serve these fish cakes with roast garlic and herb mayonnaise.
Roast Garlic & Herb Mayonnaise
cloves of garlic in their skins
egg yolks
a teaspoon of Dijon mustard
ml of extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
x pinch salt
x teaspoon of red wine vinegar
juice of half a lemon
chopped parsley and dill reserved from fish cake mix
Place the garlic cloves in a small pan with a little oil and cook on a moderate heat or in the oven until golden brown and softened about 8-9 minutes. Allow them to cool.
Squeeze the softened garlic from the skins and crush with the back of a knife. Place the crushed garlic in a bowl and add the egg yolks mustard, salt and the vinegar. Stir to combine the ingredients in the bowl with a wooden spoon. Gradually pour in the oil drip by drip stirring all the time to make a mayonnaise. Continue stirring until all the oil is used up and you have a thick emulsion.
Add the juice of half a lemon and the chopped herbs stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
There will be a great combination of flavours with the cayenne pepper and rocket providing the heat in the dish. The lemon zest in the fishcakes and the juice and vinegar will be sour. The fish and potatoes and roast garlic will be sweet and the fish cakes will be well seasoned with salt and the taste will be delicious.

UCLA rallies in 2nd half to beat UC Riverside 77-66
LOS ANGELES (AP) Another slow start had UCLA coach Steve Alford questioning his team's toughness at halftime. He demanded to know who was going to be a leader and bring energy against an upstart UC Riverside team.
Norman Powell answered on both counts, starting a second-half rally with seven straight points on his way to 20 in a 77-66 victory Wednesday night, the Bruins' fourth straight and seventh in a row at home.
''I wanted to provide a spark, so I picked up my defense and my offense,'' said Powell, the Bruins' lone senior. ''It has to come like that from the beginning of the game.''
Tony Parker had 16 points and a career-high 16 rebounds, and Bryce Alford added 16 points and eight assists for the Bruins (8-2), who trailed most of the first half, including by eight points at the break against a team that was picked to finish last in the Big West.
Parker said the inexperienced Bruins have to respect every opponent and not take some lightly, a habit they had last season. They started slowly in a 75-68 win over San Diego last weekend.
''It kind of hurt us because we've got a really young bench so our starting five has to pick up the pace,'' he said. ''We got to bring our own energy and that's tough for a young team.''
The Bruins begin their toughest stretch of games Saturday against No. 9 Gonzaga. Then comes No. 1 Kentucky in Chicago and Alabama on the road.
''If you're only going to get jacked up because of the name on the jersey, you're only going to win so many times,'' the elder Alford said. ''If we can get some toughness and a little nastiness to us, this team will rise.''
The Bruins took the lead for good - and for the first time in the second half - on a 3-pointer by Alford with 15 minutes to go.
Steven Thornton led the Highlanders (5-4) with 15 points and Taylor Johns added 13 points and eight rebounds as the team's three-game winning streak ended.
''They made us rush shots and take them out on the perimeter,'' Riverside coach Dennis Cutts said. ''We just aren't that kind of team. Their length and athleticism really affected us. Their length on defense allows them to really get after you.''
Powell and Isaac Hamilton hit back-to-back 3-pointers for UCLA's largest lead of the game, 53-44.
The Highlanders hung in, cutting their deficit to 59-57 on a pair of free throws by Thornton following a 3-pointer by Steven Jones, who fouled out in the final seconds.
''We are happy with how we played, but know that we can do better,'' Thornton said.
Alford kept them at bay, dribbling down the middle and putting up a desperate heave that went in. He was fouled and completed the three-point play. On UCLA's next possession, Alford was fouled on a 3-point attempt and converted all three for a 65-57 lead.
Freshman Kevon Looney's basket gave the Bruins the game's first double-digit lead, 71-61, with just over 2 minutes left. He finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds for his Pac-12-leading seventh double-double.
Powell and Looney picked up their fourth fouls in the game's final 10 minutes.
UC Riverside: All five starters reached double figures. ... The Highlanders fell to 0-4 all-time against the Bruins. ... It was the teams' first meeting since 2006-07.
UCLA: The Bruins had 16 turnovers to eight for Riverside. ... Bryce Alford has scored in double figures in all 10 games this season.
Tony Parker finally got the better of Kevon Looney on the boards, an ongoing rivalry between the two. The freshman isn't shy about needling Parker, a junior.
''We strategize how we're going to get rebounds and how he's going to get the most,'' Parker said. ''He's so long and when he tips everything, he's got it.''
The Highlanders were 11 of 35 from 3-point range, with Steven Thornton, Jaylen Bland and Steven Jones each making three.
UC Riverside hosts Houston Baptist on Saturday.
UCLA hosts No. 9 Gonzaga on Saturday.

The New York Military Academy (NYMA) was established on 1889 by a Civil War veteran named Charles Jefferson Wright whose main belief that a good military structure needs the best surrounding for military excellence. The academy is situated in 30 acres of land in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York at the base of Storm King Mountain and near the Hudson River.

I picked up a GIANT head of escarole in this weeks CSA share from the Good Food Collective. Greens and beans has to be one of my favorite dishes (and my husband is a big fan too). See below to learn how I make this classic Italian recipe.
Escarole is a variety of endive whose leaves are broader, paler and less bitter than other members of the endive family. In taste — but not color — it is almost indistinguishable from radicchio.
Like radicchio, kale and chard, escarole is a hearty green that thrives late into the growing season. The heart of an escarole head is less bitter because the leaves haven't gotten as much sunlight. (Some farmers even cultivate these pale leaves by covering the plants and depriving them of sunlight.)
High in folic acid, fiber, and vitamins A and K, escarole can be eaten raw or gently cooked. Try tossing a few escarole leaves into a mild salad, serving some quickly wilted with lemon juice, or stir chopped escarole into soup. A medium head of escarole usually yields about seven cups of torn leaves.
From: http://www.cookthink.com/reference/2667/What_is_escarole
Greens and Beans
- 2-5 cloves of garlic (depending on your preference)
- one head of escarole
- olive oil (3 tbsp or more)
- crushed red pepper
- salt and pepper
- one can of cannellini beans
- pasta
- Finely chop garlic
- In a separate pot begin boiling water for the pasta
- Add olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and garlic to a large pan over medium/low heat
- Divide the escarole into 4-6 parts and chop into 1″ sections
- Add to the pan in 4-6 parts
- Stir green mix with the oil and spices
- After the first batch begins to soften and wilt add in the next part
- Once all greens have been added, stir in one can of beans (including the liquid from the can)
- Drop pasta into the boiling water
- Turn the heat down to simmer on the greens and beans mixture while the pasta boils
- Serve pasta, spoon mixture on top of pasta, sprinkle with romano
- Enjoy
You may have noticed the spoon resting on top of my pasta while it was boiling. My mother-in-law taught me that if you rest a wooden spoon on top of a pot it will prevent the water from boiling over.

Know Thy Neighbor By ELISABETH R. LEWIS Illustrated by Tom Beecham [Transcriber Note: This etext was produced from Galaxy Science Fiction February 1953. Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.] [Sidenote: _The terrors that inhabit the night may be even more awful in deceitful broad daylight!_] [Illustration] It began with the dead cat on the fire escape and ended with the green monster in the incinerator chute, but still, it wouldn't be quite fair to blame it all on the neighborhood.... The apartment house was in the heart of the district that is known as "The Tenderloin"--that section of San Francisco from Ellis to Market and east from Leavenworth to Mason Street. Not the best section. To Ellen's mind, it was an unsavory neighborhood, but with apartments so hard to get and this one only $38.00 a month and in a regular apartment building with an elevator and all--well, as she often told the girls at the office, you can't be too particular these days. Nevertheless, it was an ordeal to walk up the two blocks from Market Street, particularly at night when the noise of juke boxes dinned from the garish bars, when the sidewalks spilled over with soldiers and sailors, with peroxided, blowsy-looking women and the furtive gamblers who haunted the back rooms of the innocent-appearing cigar stores that lined the street. She walked very fast then, never looking to left or right, and her heart would pound when a passing male whistled. [Illustration] But once inside the apartment house lobby, she relaxed. In spite of its location, the place seemed very respectable. She seldom met anyone in the lobby or the elevator and, except on rare occasions like last night, the halls were as silent as those in the swanky apartment houses on Nob Hill. She knew by sight only two of her neighbors--the short, stocky young man who lived in 410, and Mrs. Moffatt, in 404. Mrs. Moffatt was the essence of lavender and old lace, and the young man--he was all right, really; you couldn't honestly say he was shady-looking. * * * * * On this particular morning, the man from 410 was waiting for the elevator when Ellen came out to get her paper. He glanced up at the sound of the door and stared. Quickly, she shut the door again. She didn't like the way he looked at her. She was wearing a housecoat over her nightgown, and a scarf wrapped around her head to cover the bobbypins--a costume as unrevealing as a nun's--but she felt as though he had invaded her privacy with his stare, like surprising her in the bathtub. She waited until she heard the elevator start down before opening her door again. The boy must have aimed from the stairs; her paper was several yards down the hall, almost in front of 404. She went down to get it. Mrs. Moffatt must have heard Ellen's footsteps in the hall. An old lady with a small income (from her late husband, as she had explained to Ellen) and little to do, she was intensely interested in her neighbors. She opened the door of her apartment and peered out. Her thin white hair was done up in tight kid curlers. With her round faded-blue eyes and round wrinkled-apple cheeks, she looked like an inquisitive aged baby. "Good morning," said Ellen pleasantly. "Good morning, my dear," the old lady answered. "You're up early for a Saturday." "Well, I thought I might as well get up and start my house-cleaning. I didn't sleep a wink after four o'clock this morning anyway. Did you hear all that racket in the hall?" "Why, no, I didn't." The old lady sounded disappointed. "I don't see how I missed it. I guess because I went to bed so late. My nephews--you've seen them, haven't you?--They're such nice boys. They took me to a movie last night." "Well, I'm surprised you didn't hear it," said Ellen. "Thumping and scratching, like somebody was dragging a rake along the floor. I just couldn't get back to sleep." The old lady clicked her tongue. "I'll bet somebody came home drunk. Isn't that terrible? I wonder who it was." "I don't know," said Ellen, "but it was certainly a disgrace. I was going to call Mrs. Anderson." With the door open, the hall seemed filled with the very odd odor of Mrs. Moffatt's apartment--not really unpleasant, but musty, with the smell of antiques. The apartment itself was like a museum. Ellen had been inside once when the old lady invited her in for a cup of tea. Its two rooms were crammed with a bizarre assortment of furniture, bric-a-brac and souvenirs. "Oh, how's your bird this morning?" Ellen asked. In addition to being a collector, Mrs. Moffatt was an animal fancier. She owned three cats, a pair of love-birds, goldfish, and even a cage of white mice. One of the love-birds, she had informed Ellen yesterday, was ailing. "Oh, Buzzy's much better today," she beamed. "The doctor told me to feed him whisky every three hours--with an eyedropper, you know--and you'd be surprised how it helped the little fellow. He even ate some bird-seed this morning." "I'm so glad," said Ellen. She picked up her paper and smiled at Mrs. Moffatt. "I'll see you later." The old woman closed her door, shutting off the musty smell, and Ellen walked back to her own apartment. She filled the coffee pot with water and four tablespoons of coffee, then dressed herself while the coffee percolated. Standing in front of the medicine cabinet mirror, she took the bobbypins out of her hair. Her reflection looked back at her from the mirror, and she felt that unaccountable depression again. I'm not bad-looking, she thought, and young, and not too dumb. What have other women got that I haven't? She thought of the days and years passing, the meals all alone, and nothing ever happening. That kind of thinking gets you nowhere; forget it. She combed her hair back, pinned it securely behind her ears, ran a lipstick over her mouth. Then she went into the kitchenette, turned off the gas flame under the coffee pot, and raised the window shade to let in the sun that was just beginning to show through morning fog. A dead cat lay on the fire escape under the window. * * * * * She stared at it, feeling sick to her stomach. It was an ordinary gray cat, the kind you see in every alley, but its head was twisted back so that its open eyes and open mouth leered at her. She pulled the blind down, fast. Sit down, light a cigarette. It's nothing, just a dead cat, that's all. But how did it get on the fire escape? Fell, maybe, from the roof? And how did it get on the roof? Besides, I thought cats never got hurt falling. Isn't there something about landing on your feet like a cat? Maybe that's just a legend, like the nonsense about nine lives. Well, what do I do, she thought. I can't sit here and drink coffee with _that_ under the window. And God knows I can't take it away myself. She shuddered at the thought. Call the manager. She got up and went to the telephone in the foyer. She found the number scribbled on the back of the phone book. Her hand was shaking when she dialed. "This is Ellen Tighe in 402. Mrs. Anderson, there's a dead cat on the fire escape outside my window. You'll have to do something about it." Mrs. Anderson sounded half-asleep. "What do you mean, a dead cat? Are you sure it's dead? Maybe it's sleeping." "Of course I'm sure it's dead! Can't you send Pete up to take it away? It's a horrible thing to have under my window." "All right, I'll tell Pete to go up. He's washing down the lobby now. As soon as he's finished, I'll send him up." Ellen set the phone back on its stand. She felt a little silly. What a fuss to make over a dead cat. But really, outside one's window--and before breakfast--who could blame me? She went back into the kitchenette, carefully not looking toward the window, even though the shade was drawn, and poured herself a cup of coffee. Then she sat at the table in the little nook, drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette and leafing through the paper. The front page was all about a flying saucer scare in Marin County. She read the headline, then thumbed on through the paper, stopping to read the movie reviews and the comic page. * * * * * At the back section, she was attracted by a headline that read: "Liquor Strong These Days--Customer Turns Green, Says Bartender." It was a brief item, consciously cute. "John Martin, 38, a bartender of 152 Mason Street, was arrested early this morning, charged with drunkenness and disturbing the peace, after firing several shots from a .38 revolver on the sidewalk in front of his address. No one was injured. Martin's defense, according to police records, was that he was attempting to apprehend a 'pale-green, claw-handed' customer who fled after eating a live mouse and threatening Martin. "Upon questioning, Martin admitted that the unidentified customer had been in the bar for several hours and appeared perfectly normal. But he insisted, 'When I refused to serve him after he ate the mouse, he turned green and threatened to claw me to death.' Martin has a permit to carry the gun and was dismissed with a fifty dollar fine and a warning by Judge Greely against sampling his own stock too freely." Drunken fool, thought Ellen. With fresh indignation, she remembered the disturbance in her own hall this morning. Nothing but drunks and gangsters in this neighborhood. She thought vaguely of looking at the "For Rent" section of the want ads. There was a noise on the fire escape. Ellen reached over and lifted up the shade. The janitor was standing there with a big paper sack in his hand. Ellen opened the window and asked, "How do you think it got there, Pete?" "I dunno. Maybe fall offa the roof. Musta been in a fight." "What makes you think so?" "Neck's all torn. Big teeth marks. Maybe dog get him." "Up here?" "Somebody find, maybe throw here--I dunno." Pete scratched his head. "You don't worry any more, though. I take away now. No smell, even." He grinned at her and scuttled to the other end of the fire escape where he climbed through the window to the fourth floor corridor. Ellen poured herself a second cup of coffee and lighted another cigarette, then turned to the woman's page in the paper. She read the Advice Column and the Psychology and glanced through the "Help Wanted--Women" in the classifieds. That finished the morning's reading. She looked at her watch. Almost ten. She carried her coffee cup to the sink, rinsed it out and set it on the drainboard. There was still a cup or more coffee left in the pot. That could be warmed over later, but she took out the filler and dumped the grounds into the paper bag that held garbage. The bag was almost full. I'll throw it in the incinerator now, she thought, before I straighten the apartment. She emptied the ashtrays--the one beside her bed and the other on the breakfast table--then started down the hall with the garbage bag in her hand. * * * * * The incinerator chute was at the rear of the hall, next to the service stairs. Ellen could see the door standing slightly open. She hesitated. 410 might be there. It was bad enough to ride in the elevator with him, feeling his eyes on her, but there was something unbearably intimate about standing beside him, emptying garbage. The door seemed to move a little, but nobody came out. She waited another minute. Oh, well, maybe the last person out there just forgot to shut the door tight. She opened it wider, stepped out on the stair landing. No one was there. The chute was wide, almost three feet around. Ellen opened the top and started to throw the bag down. Something was stuck in there. Her eyes saw it, but her brain refused to believe. What was there, blocking the chute, looked like--looked like--a chicken's foot, gnarled, clawed, but as large as a human foot--and an ugly, sickly green! Automatically, she reached in and clutched it. Her stomach turned at the cold feel of the thing, but still she tugged at it, trying to work it loose. It was heavy. She pulled with all her strength, felt it start to slide back up the chute. Then it was free! She gaped in sick horror at the thing she held. Her hand opened weakly and she sat down on the floor, her head swimming and her throat muscles retching. Dimly, she heard the thing rattle and bump down to the incinerator in the basement. The full horror of it gradually hit home. Ellen stood up, swaying, and ran blindly down the hall. Her feet thudded on the carpeted floor. As she passed 404, she was vaguely conscious of Mrs. Moffatt's concerned face poking around the door. "Is there something wrong, Miss Tighe?" "No," Ellen managed to gasp "It's all right--really--all right." She kept on running, burst through the apartment door, slammed it behind her, fell on her knees in the bathroom and became thoroughly, violently ill. She continued to kneel, unable to think, her head against the cool porcelain bowl. Finally, she stood up weakly, ran cold water, washed her face and streaming eyes. Thank God the wall bed was still down! She fell on it, shaking. * * * * * What was that unbelievable ghastly, impossible thing? It was the size of a man, but thin, skeleton thin, and the color of brackish water. It had two legs, two arms, like a man ... but ending with those huge, birdlike claws. Heaven alone knew what its face was like. She had let go before it was that far clear of the chute. She thought of the story in the paper. So that was what the bartender saw! He wasn't drunk at all, and what happened when he told the police? They laughed at him. They'd laugh at me, too, she thought. The proof is gone, burned up in the incinerator. Why did this happen to me? Dead cats on the fire escape, dead monsters in the incinerator chute ... it's this terrible neighborhood! She tried to think coherently. Maybe the cat had something to do with it. The bartender said the thing ate a mouse--maybe it had tried to eat the cat, too. A monster like that might eat anything. Her stomach started churning again at the thought. But what was it doing in the incinerator chute? Someone in the building must have put it there, thinking it would slide all the way down and be burned up. Who? One of _them_, probably. But there couldn't be any more green monsters around. They can't live in an apartment house, walk the streets like anyone else, not even in this neighborhood. She remembered something else in the bartender's story. He said it looked perfectly normal at first. That meant they could look like humans if they wanted to. Hypnotism? Then any man could be.... Suddenly another thought struck her. Supposing they find out I saw--what will they do to me? She jumped up from the bed, white with fear, her faintness forgotten in the urge to escape. She snatched her bag from the dresser, threw on her brown coat. At the door, she hesitated, afraid to venture into the hall, yet afraid to stay inside. Finally, she eased open the door, peered out into the corridor. It was deserted. She ran to the elevator, punched the bell, heard the car begin its creaky, protesting ascent. The elevator door had an automatic spring closing. The first time she tried it, her hands shook and the door sprang closed before she got in. She tried it again. This time she managed to hold it open long enough to get inside. She pushed the button, felt the elevator shake and grind and move slowly down. Out into the lobby. Out into the street. * * * * * The fog was completely gone now. The sun shone on the still-damp street. There were very few people around--The Tenderloin sleeps late. She went into the restaurant next door, sat down at the white-tiled counter. She was the only customer. A sleepy-eyed waitress, her black hair untidily caught into a net, waited, pad in hand. "Just coffee," Ellen mumbled. She drank it black and it scalded her throat going down. The waitress put a nickel in the juke box and then Bing Crosby was singing "Easter Parade." Everything was so normal. Listening to Bing Crosby, how could you believe in things like green monsters? In this sane, prosaic atmosphere, Ellen thought, I must be batty. She said to herself, "I'm Ellen Tighe, bookkeeper, and I just saw the body of a green man with claws on his feet...." No, that didn't help a bit. Put it this way: "I'm Ellen Tighe and I'm 27 years old and I'm not married. Let's face it, any psychiatrist will tell you that's enough cause for neurosis. So I'm having delusions." It made more sense that way. I read that story in the paper, Ellen thought, and it must have registered way down in my subconscious. That had to be it. Any other way, it was too horrible, too impossible to be borne. I'll go back to the apartment and call Dr. Clive, thought Ellen. She had the feeling, no doubt held over from the days of measles and mumps, that a doctor could cure anything, even green monsters on the brain. She drank the last of the coffee and fished in her coin purse for change. Picking up the check, she walked over to the cash register at the end of the counter, facing the street. The untidy waitress came from the back of the restaurant to take the money. Ellen looked out at the street through the glass front. The man from 410 was standing out there, smoking a cigarette, watching her. When their eyes met, he abruptly threw away the cigarette and started walking toward the apartment house. Again she felt that faint dread she had experienced in the hall earlier. The waitress picked up her quarter, gave her back a nickel and a dime. Ellen put the change into her purse, got out her key chain and held it in her hand while she walked quickly next door. 410 was just ahead of her in the lobby; he held the front door open for her. She kept her head down, not looking at his face, and they walked, Indian file, across the lobby to the elevator. He opened the elevator doors, too, and she stepped in ahead of him. * * * * * When the doors clanged shut, she had a feeling of panic. Alone with him ... cut off from help. He didn't pretend not to know her floor, but silently pressed the proper button. While the car moved slowly upward, her heart was beating wildly. I'm not convinced, she thought, I'm not convinced. I saw it so plainly ... I felt it, cold in my hands. The elevator stopped. The man held the door open and for a moment she thought he was going to say something. His free hand made a swift, involuntary movement as though he were going to catch her arm. She shrank away, but he stepped back and let her through. Ellen almost ran down the hall. Behind her, she heard his footsteps going in the opposite direction toward his apartment. She was panting when she reached her door. She fumbled for the right key--front door, office--and then she froze. There was a scratching sound in the apartment. She put her ear close to the door, listened. There was a rasping noise, like somebody dragging a rake ... or like claws, great heavy claws, moving over the hardwood floors! Ellen backed away from the door. It was true, then. She retreated, inch by inch, silently. Get away, leave before it catches you! She turned, ready to make a dash for the elevator ... and faced the man from 410. Down at the end of the hall, in front of his apartment, he was watching her. The way he lingered outside the restaurant, the way he looked at her. One of _them_ ... maybe underneath that homely, ordinary face, his skin was green and clammy. Maybe there were long, sharp claws on his feet. She was breathing unevenly now. Trapped! The thing in the apartment, the man in the hall. Her eyes darted to the elevator, then back, down the hall, past the door marked 404 ... the door marked 404! She covered the few yards in a mad dash, flung herself at the door, pounding wildly. "Please, please!" she sobbed. "Mrs. Moffatt, open, please!" The door opened at once. Mrs. Moffatt's round, wrinkled face beamed at her. "Come in, my dear, come in." She almost fell over the landing. The door closed behind her. She stumbled to the davenport, sank down, gasping. Two cats rubbed against her legs, purring. Two cats? She heard herself say stupidly, "Mrs. Moffatt, where's the other cat?" and wondered why she said it. Then she understood. The old lady's face quivered, altered, melted into something ... something green. * * * * * Outside in the hall, the man from 410 slowly returned to his apartment. Pushing open the door, he thought, I'll never get the nerve to ask her out. Well, probably wasn't a chance, anyhow. What would a girl like her have to do with a lousy cop like me? *** End of this Doctrine Publishing Corporation Digital Book "Know Thy Neighbor" *** Doctrine Publishing Corporation provides digitized public domain materials.

Don't Let Docs Get Bitten by ICD-10, AMA Tells HHS
Do not Let Docs Obtain Bitten by ICD-10, AMA Informs HHS
The American Medical Association (AMA) today emailed an SOS to the federal government: Kindly soften the economic pain that the brand-new ICD-10 diagnostic codes will cause on physicians when they take effect October 1.
In a letter to Kathleen Sebelius, assistant of the US Department of Wellness & & Person Services (HHS), the AMA determined that the brand-new diagnostic codes, more many and complicated compared to the ones they.re switching out, might cost little methods anywhere from $56,639 to $226,105, dramatically higher compared to previous price quotes. About half this amount will mirror interrupted money circulation and shed productivity during the implementation procedure, according to the AMA. Various other expenditures include training, testing, and software application upgrades.
.Remaining to compel physicians down the ICD-10 path will result in considerable economic troubles,. claimed James Madara, MD, the AMA.s ceo and exec vice head of state, in the letter to Sebelius.
The AMA Home of Delegates wants the ICD-10 codes repealed, contending they won.t boost patient care however instead will create harder for physicians to buy digital Wellness record (EHR) devices and brand-new designs of supplying care. But straight-out abolition, today.s letter from Dr. Madara urged HHS to take numerous actions to shield physicians from ICD-10 fallout.
Topping the AMA.s checklist of referrals is examining to see whether Medicare claims that bear the brand-new codes are not just obtained by Medicare, however additionally paid. While doing so, physicians would certainly figure out whether they chose the right code. Examination results, claimed Dr.
Madara, could make the Centers for Medicare & & Medicaid Services (CMS) in HHS believe two times concerning adhering to the October 1 due date for implementation.
The AMA.s Dr. Madara additionally recommended that Medicare repay physicians in the kind of an .advance settlement. when they treat a person just to have ICD-10 issues mess up cases refining. Doing this, claimed Dr. Madara, would certainly require CMS to release its advance settlement plans.
Another means CMS might ease ICD-10 pain, claimed Dr. Madara, would certainly be to give physicians a 2-year moratorium to apply the brand-new codes. during that time, Medicare would certainly not be permitted to refute settlement on a case nor redeem settlement .based upon the specificity of the ICD-10 code,. which could run as long as 7 characters. Furthermore, CMS would certainly tell physicians exactly what they.re doing right and incorrect.
Madara finished his letter by asking Sebelius to .reexamine the ICD-10 mandate. Nonetheless, the AMA placed points more candidly today when it announced the launch of a new Twitter hashtag: # StopICD10.
ICD-10 due date Has actually Already Dragged The moment
ICD-10 is brief for International Statistical Category of Diseases and Related Wellness Problems, 10th Modification. CMS is requiring the switch from ICD-9 to ICD-10 under the Health plan Mobility and Liability Act, or HIPAA. Both code sets were created by the World Wellness Organization.
ICD-10 features payment and also diagnostic codes, however CMS isn.t really requiring that the previous be embraced.
There are 68,000 diagnostic codes, About 5 times the number in ICD-9, and they run to an optimum of 7 characters reviewed with 5 for the older codes.
CMS and Various other ICD-10 advocates claim the brand-new codes will boost patient care given that they are better able compared to their predecessors to fit brand-new diagnoses and treatments in medication. Furthermore, they permit physicians to show the place of a wound, tumor, or disorder.
The hyperspecificity of ICD-10 Has actually created the butt of jokes. Physicians dealing with a head injury could decide on W2202XA-- walked into lamppost, preliminary experience-- if that fits the bill. Talking of expenses, an initial duck bite warrants W6161XA.
Did the patient endure the first bite of a killer whale? Select W5621XA, and use a lot of stitches.
The AMA and Various other medical cultures have been lifeless serious, Nonetheless, in their efforts to hinder ICD-10. They succeeded in persuading HHS to postpone the implementation day from October 1, 2013, to October 1, 2014. The AMA is now sharing that ICD-10 causes a better economic risk to medical methods compared to first believed, based upon a new cost evaluation from a company called Nachimson Advisors.
In 2008, Nachimson Advisors released a study putting the cost of ICD-10 conformity at $83,290 for 3-physician methods (little), $281,195 for 10-physician methods (tool), and $2.7 million for groups ONE HUNDRED physicians solid (big).
This month Nachimson Advisors Has actually released upgraded cost figures that are a lot higher compared to those in 2008.
The firm chalks up the increase to .actual World encounter. in recording the cost of ICD-10 implementation and the intro of the government.s EHR meaningful-use program in 2011. The necessity to get brand-new or updated EHR devices including the brand-new diagnostic codes and satisfying meaningful-use demands introduces a cost not discovered in the 2008 study, the firm stated in its AMA-funded report.
Correctly, Nachimson Advisors now determines that ICD-10 conformity will cost between $56,639 and $226,105 for little methods, between $213,364 and $824,735 for medium methods, and between $2 million and $8 million for big ones. In each category, concerning two thirds of the methods will be closer to the luxury of the array therefore required upgrades to their EHR devices, as well as their payment and organizing software application, or both.
Madara claimed that forcing these expenditures on physicians will leave them less able to automate and restructure their methods to take part in pay-for-performance programs, all which costs cash. .Several physicians are local business owners and, therefore, their operating margins are Already thin,. he noted.
