As part of President Obama's commitment to reducing regulatory
burden, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen G. Sebelius
announced that HHS will initiate a process to postpone the date by
which certain health care entities have to comply with
International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition
diagnosis and procedure codes (ICD-10).
The final rule adopting ICD-10 as a standard was published in
January 2009 and set a compliance date of October 1, 2013 - a delay
of two years from the compliance date initially specified in the
2008 proposed rule. HHS will announce a new compliance date
moving forward.
"ICD-10 codes are important to many positive improvements in our
health care system," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
"We have heard from many in the provider community who have
concerns about the administrative burdens they face in the years
ahead. We are committing to work with the provider community
to reexamine the pace at which HHS and the nation implement these
important improvements to our health care system."
ICD-10 codes provide more robust and specific data that will
help improve patient care and enable the exchange of our health
care data with that of the rest of the world that has long been
using ICD-10. Entities covered under the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) will be required
to use the ICD-10 diagnostic and procedure codes.
All HHS press releases, fact sheets and other press materials
are available at: http://www.hhs.gov/news.
Healthcare facilities, including nursing homes and hospitals,
are the most commonly reported settings for norovirus outbreaks in
the United States. The virus can be introduced into healthcare
facilities by infected patients/residents--who may or may not be
showing symptoms--or by staff, visitors, or contaminated food
products. Outbreaks in these settings can be quite long-sometimes
lasting months-and illness can be more severe, occasionally even
fatal, in hospitalized or nursing home patients than for otherwise
healthy persons.
Noroviruses are responsible for about half of all reported
outbreaks of gastroenteritis (vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach
cramping caused by inflammation of the stomach and intestines).
While the vast majority of norovirus illnesses are not part of a
recognized cluster, outbreaks provide important information on how
the virus is spread and, therefore, how best to prevent
infection. Norovirus outbreaks occur throughout the year, but
over 80% of them occur during November-April. In addition,
norovirus outbreaks tend to increase periodically when new strains
of the virus appear. The virus can be spread through food, water,
by touching things that have the virus on them, as well as directly
from person to person. There is no long-lasting immunity to
norovirus; thus, outbreaks can affect people of all ages and in a
variety of settings
Due to the recently reported outbreaks of the norovirus in Long
Term Care and Assisted Living facilities we have attached several
CDC norovirus related documents.
For more information we encourage you to visit the CDC web
site at: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/revb/gastro/norovirus.htm

Healthcare providers could get some regulatory deadline relief
soon. The acting head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services said today the agency is considering extending its
timeline for ICD-10 code conversion compliance.
Under current ICD-10 rules, healthcare providers, payers, and
others have until Oct. 1, 2013 to switch over their claims,
billing, and other systems from current ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes for
medical diagnosis and inpatient procedures. The transition from
ICD-9 to ICD-10 involves expanding medical diagnosis codes from the
current 14,000 to more than 67,000, and procedure codes from 13,000
to 85,000.
Marilyn Tavenner, the acting administrator of the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services, told a conference of the American
Medical Association (AMA) that her agency could delay adoption of
the ICD-10 system. Current law calls for physicians to adopt the
new codes next year.
"I'm committing today to work with you to re-examine the pace at
which we implement ICD-10," she said to loud applause. "I want to
work together to ensure that we implement ICD-10 in a way that
[meets its] goals while recognizing your concerns."
Critics - including the AMA - say switching to ICD-10 coding
will require doctors' offices to deal with some 68,000 codes, more
than five times the current 13,000. The change, according to the
AMA, would cost medical practices anywhere between $83,290 and more
than $2.7 million, depending on size.
Speaking to reporters after her prepared remarks, Tavenner said
her office would formally announce its intention to craft new
regulations "within the next few days."
LTC Provider University will provide updates when they
become available.
On January 13, 2012 CMS published a
pair of transmittals that revise Chapter 8, section 40.1 of the
Medicare Benefit Policy Manual to add physician assistants to the
list of practitioners that can perform the
required initial certification and periodic recertifications of the
need for skilled nursing facility (SNF) level of
On January 13, 2012 CMS issued Transmittal
entitled -"Allowing Physician Assistants to Perform Skilled Nursing
Facility (SNF) Level of Care Certifications and
Recertifications". The transmittal provides guidance
on the ability of physician assistants to perform level of care
certifications and recertifications in skilled nursing facilities.
The guidance implements Section 3108 of the Affordable Care
Act. According the guidance, a physician assistant may
now perform the certification or recertification if the physician
assistant collaborates with the physician but does not have a
direct or indirect employment relationship with the facility.
Please review the following two
attachments for details.

Physician Assistants
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has
recently issued an updated S&C memo on reporting the reasonable
suspicion of a crime.
This memorandum informs SAs of the new section 1150B of the Act,
which was established by section 6703(b)(3) of the Affordable Care
Act and is entitled "Reporting to Law Enforcement
of Crimes
Occurring in Federally Funded Long-Term Care Facilities." In
order to promote timely application of the protections offered by
section 1150B of the Act for LTC facility residents, CMS is
explaining now the current obligations of LTC facilities to comply
with the law as it is plainly written, without any delay that might
be occasioned by waiting for any administrative rule-making process
that might further clarify application of the law.
The updates appear in the Definitions and Questions and Answers
In the definitions, the terms "agent" and "contractor" are
further defined in Appendix One. These definitions will assist
providers in determining who is included in "covered individuals."
In the Q&A section of the memo, additional clarity is
provided regarding the role of the facility in reporting the
suspicion of a crime. It should be noted that this memo
specifically states that a facility may report of a reasonable
suspicion of a crime directly to the state survey agency and law
enforcement on behalf of covered individuals. Additionally, the
Q&A section provides clarity about the impact of this
requirement on ICFs/MR.
Please see the attached S&C letter for more
detailed information.

Leonardo da Vinci is arguably the greatest polymath of all time; renowned for his art, science and invention. The Mona Lisa, of course, is perhaps the world's most famous painting, and there can be few who have not seen his Vitruvian Man, the sketch of a man with arms and legs outstretched. His inventions (although few were published and the majority made little or no contribution to future technology), include a hang glider and a machine rather like a helicopter.
But for all his fame, there is one area which has perhaps been sightly overlooked until now. Leonardo was an accomplished anatomical artist, fascinated by the study of the human body and eventually filling over 200 pages of his notebook with drawings of the human skeleton, muscles and other features. Much of his work was created from dissecting corpses at various Italian hospitals and as well as pioneering work in the as-yet undefined field of biomechanics, he produced one of the first sketches of a foetus in utero as well as hundreds of studies of animal anatomy which he compared with his human work.f his discoveries about the human were years ahead of their time, why is his work not better known? The simple answer is that the vast majority was unpublished for centuries and it is only with hindsight that we can see what a great body of work he has produced.
This is all relevant now as his work is about to go on display in London! As part of the Royal Collection, these drawings were kept in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. However, they have now been moved to The Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace in preparation for Friday, where they will be open to the public until September. The Nature Video team were lucky enough to secure an invite to view the collection at Windsor Castle and have produced a video with senior curator of the collection, Martin Clayton, talking us through some of the most important pieces.

Outtakes 141
All Grown Up
By Cait Collins
This past Sunday, I had the privilege of attending my nephew's junior violin recital. A.J. is music major at West Texas A&M University and plays in the University's symphony orchestra. I have attend his concerts, but this is the first time I've heard him play solo since he began playing the violin in grade school. His music brought tears to my eyes. Just watching him was a treat. There was magic in the play of his fingers over the strings at the instrument's neck and in the changing angles of the bow's movement across the body of violin. For about forty-five minutes, he welcomed us into his world. I was enchanted.
During the post recital reception I asked my brother-in-law if he ever thought Twinkle Little Star sounding like a dying cat would become so beautiful. He shook his head. Maybe we didn't know, but A.J. did. He worked at his music, learning not only the violin, but also dabbling with the keyboard, cello, guitar, base, and French horn. He sacrificed play time to practice and learn music. He earned the accolades he received from family, friends, future in-laws, and fellow students.
A writer's journey is similar to the musician's. Our first stories are rough. Sometimes they make little sense. Yet, if we were lucky, we have a mom and dad who read scribbled messes and praise the efforts. They walk the path with us, encouraging and correcting until we can step out on our own. We have a support group as we hone our craft and submit our first works to agents and editors. They watch our documentaries and act as beta readers for our novels.
While loved ones support us, they cannot give us the passion required to continue the journey. That passion must come from inside us. We succeed because we want it, desire it, and work for it. Talent plays a role in success, but even talented writers must invest the time and discipline required to rise to the top. Sacrifice is required. Work ethic is a must. Our futures as writers are mainly in our hand. We must put the words on paper, write the query letters, and submit the work. Nobody will do the work for us.
I am definitely proud of my nephew. I celebrate his success. But I also applaud my writer friends who are on their way to successful careers. They have earned my respect and congratulations.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
One of the most active and vibrant clubs on the Brussels expat scene, Expat Club (what's in a name) organizes multiple events a month. Relaxed meetups happen at Natural Caffè on the Mont des Arts on Saturday mornings and form a great opportunity for new faces to test out the waters. Besides exploring Brussels and Belgium through chocolate tastings and company visits, Expat Club is heavily into exploring the postage stamp-sized nation's neighbors as well. Especially merry are their holiday season trips, which range from Christmas markets in Leuven and Liège to Strasbourg and Maastricht.
More professionally tinged is Full Circle, a club that prides itself on 'bringing ideas to Brussels.' Founders Bridie Nathanson and Louise Hilditch, both native Englishwomen who have been living in the Belgian capital for over two decades, invite speakers from around the globe to enter into conversation with a nice mix of expat and local members and discuss themes that range from anthropology to feminist economics to the phenomenon of accelerating change. With dinner debates, masterclasses, and lunchtime talks at eclectic locations across the capital, Full Circle has shaped itself into a thinking man and woman's club where networking comes naturally.
It's not just American expats that are in safe hands at the American Club of Brussels, one of the oldest American clubs in the world (founded in 1921). Early on it became the premier meeting place for American, Belgian, and other international business folks to meet and network, while still keeping an eye on the cultural and charitable. Members gather at 'bowling, billiards and beers' nights as well as at Christmas charity balls, and anyone in search of the best American burger in town would do well to check out their restaurant guide.
The American Club of Brussels, Rue du Parnasse 19, 1050 Brussels, Belgium
Whether you're a native Brusselaar who likes to shake his or her hips, a Spaniard on the lookout to meet compatriots or just someone with a passion for live music and Latin dance parties, La Tentation is the place to be. Also known as Centro Galego de Bruxelas, an organization founded to promote Galician culture, La Tentation is now much more of a hodgepodge for all who enjoy musical moments. Membership starts from a mere ten euros a year, and their checkered dance floor is a thing of beauty.
La Tentation, Rue de Laeken 28, 1000 Brussels, Belgium, +32 2 223 22 75
When it comes to gyms with great expat word of mouth, adults-only Aspria Avenue Louise takes the cake. Its location on one of Brussels' poshest streets already gives away its slightly exclusive status and accompanying price tag, but the state-of-the-art equipment and personal touches more than make up for shelling out those extra euros. Relax your tired muscles in the sauna after working out for the full experience.
Aspria Avenue Louise, Avenue Louise 71, 1050 Brussels, Belgium, +32 2 610 40 73
Another way to keep fit, of course, are outdoor sports, something most city bugs could use more of. English-speaking expats generally feel very welcome at the Brussels Kangaroos, a softball and baseball club that will take anyone from 3.5-year-olds to fumbling or experienced adult players and trains on the Stade Fallon field, one of the nicest in Belgium. At Kangaroos, it's all for the love of the game, with the cool outfits as an added bonus.
Twenty- and 30-something expats tend to find their peers most easily through A-Club, more of an internet-based tool to arrange meetups than an actual society. Activities often overlap with the aforementioned Expat Club (such as the popular Christmas market trips) but also include gatherings at English-language comedy nights, bar crawls, and theater outings.
Amateur photographers are bound to find kindred spirits at Viewfinders, where learning from and with each other is priority number one. Membership is open to all with a passion for the still image for merely 30 euros a year, and the schedule boasts monthly readings by guest speakers. Group activities include regular presentations of technique by fellow members and going on communal walks to find the city's most photogenic side.
Whether you have the voice of a nightingale or that of shrill opera diva Bianca Castafiore from the Tintin universe, the Brussels International Singers invite anyone wanting to join into their midst, no audition required. Every year, the group comes together to prepare and perform a spring concert and a most beloved Christmas carol concert. For more experienced expats, the Brussels Choral Society requires an audition but takes its hundred members with 20 different nationalities to perform for audiences abroad.
The community par excellence to offer a helping hand with every aspect of the new Brussels life you're embarking on. Besides an invitation to dance events and raclette get-togethers, a membership to InterNations will grant you access to advice on everything from work permits to which neighborhoods are most suited for frequent travelers. Newcomer events make sure expats fresh off the boat make a flying start.

Using a SSH deploy key in GitHub Actions to access private repositories
Matthias Pigulla · 06. September 2019
Update 2019-09-15: We've published the webfactory/ssh-agent GitHub Action which takes care of starting the SSH agent, adding the key and setting up host keys. With that action, most of the configuration described here is no longer necessary.
When staging a project to run tests or build a Docker image, you might need to fetch additional dependencies (libraries or "vendors") from private repositories. However, GitHub Actions are limited to accessing the repository they run for.
To solve this, you can create an additional SSH key with sufficient access privileges. Store that key in the secrets storage which is in the "Settings" area of your repository. The secret content is the private SSH key, as you will find it in the
id_rsa file.
For the following example, the name of the secret should be
SSH_PRIVATE_KEY. Then, have a look at the following workflow definition:
# .github/workflows/my-workflow.yml
# ... other config here
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Setup SSH Keys and known_hosts
SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /tmp/ssh_agent.sock
run: |
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
ssh-keyscan github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK > /dev/null
ssh-add - <<< "${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}"
- name: Some task that fetches dependencies
SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /tmp/ssh_agent.sock
run: ./fetch-deps.sh
We first run
ssh-keyscan to detect GitHub's SSH host keys. This for sure could be improved if worker nodes had these keys already set up. We then start the
ssh-agent , binding it to a predictable socket location, and finally import the SSH private key into the agent. The nice thing about the way this happens is that the private key is never written to disk.
After the setup step has run, the SSH agent will still be running and can be used by other processes. To make this happen, set the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable. Commands like
git run
ssh under the hood and will make use of the key stored in the agent when they authenticate to other hosts.
Right now, you will have to set the environment variable for every step that needs it, but it looks as if an improvement for this is already underway.
Where to register the public SSH key part?
To actually grant the SSH key access, you can – on GitHub – use at least two ways:
- Deploy keys can be added to individual GitHub repositories. They can give read and/or write access to the particular repository. When pulling a lot of dependencies, however, you'll end up adding the key in many places. Rotating the key probably becomes difficult.
- A machine user can be used for more fine-grained permissions management and have access to multiple repositories with just one instance of the key being registered. It will, however, count against your number of users on paid GitHub plans.

First love
I have only hazy memories of the first time I was swept off my feet. But my aunt tells me I must have been 3 or 4 years old. I'd tagged along with her to her friend's house and after a while was nowhere to be seen. Assuming I'd gone down the stairs alone, they launched a frantic search. Imagine their chagrin, when they found me in one of the rooms itself, leaning over a table, swinging a leg and with total absorption, 'reading' a thick tome. I don't remember the title, but I recall being enthralled by row after neat row of alphabets and the wafery thinness of the pages.
Another memory is of a kiddies party perhaps not long after. The hostess held two cheerfully wrapped gifts and asked me, "What would you like - a game or books?" No conflict here. Thrusting my pudgy hands out, I earnestly lisped, "Bookths" And that's how the collection began... with Thumbelina, Little Mermaid and Beauty.
Toys came and went, but my precious bookths were carefully preserved. The first day of summer vacations saw an unvarying ritual: notebooks and textbooks were gleefully expelled and the motley collection of storybooks would be brought out and lined against the wall. The Library was open!
At school, the library was tucked away in one quiet corner. And my favourite moment was when we all had to troop out in a queue and climb the 54 steps or so from the Primary Section to the Secondary, where the library was located. Mystery, fantasy, adventure - all in one little room. Even the archetypal villain - the librarian. She not only rationed the Enid Blytons, but also shoved into our unwilling hands, books on animals, birds, science and even novels in Hindi and Marathi. Admirable intentions, some might think, but not us who shrank from these surrogate textbooks.
I bided my time until I became the library monitor. And then craftily went around distributing all the books I wanted to read to my classmates. Through the week I'd swap books with them and thus, swiftly worked my way through the Blytons, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drews, Richmal Cromptons and Wodehouses. Sometimes I'd even prop a novel between the pages of a textbook during a boring class and once suffered the ignominy of standing outside class when caught doing that.
The collection stayed very modest, until i discovered the detour from College to Marine Lines station. Two second hand bookstores lay in wait on that detour with books piled precariously almost up to the ceiling. Many an afternoon was spent craning and contorting, thumbing and sneezing in those musty bookstores. Rarely did i leave without carting away armfuls of trashy fiction, classics, thrillers and some rare reads. The 2 1/2 hour daily train rides were scarcely ever felt.
With English Literature, I had a reading list and therefore, a legitimate reason to indulge in my hobby. But my mother remained unconvinced as she saw empty spaces at home vanishing. She complained to Dad, who acted swiftly, but not in the way she expected. A bookcase was constructed which was dubbed rather fancifully, 'The Library'.
What kind of books do you read, I'm often asked. And here's where I flounder. The thought of limiting oneself to a certain genre is preposterous. At some point I savour Indian writers, then start craving the classics, until I get a whiff of travel writing. From there, I might hop on to short stories, dipping into inspirational and spiritual literature. There was once the war phase, where I devoured everything in sight on the Second World War and the Vietnam War. And occasionally, there's the regression to the Enid Blyton era, where I long wistfully for the Wishing Chair and the Magic Faraway Tree.
It's a journey I don't question anymore. In fact, sometimes I feel that it isn't me choosing a book but vice versa. With increasing regularity, I 'chance' upon books whose message I need to hear or books which set me off on a new path.
And along this path are also strewn quirks of various sorts. The egregious memory turns elephantine when it comes to books I've lent. I've been known to stalk people who fail to return my books in time. And then there's the meticulous cataloguing of every single book by name, author and category. Each new entrant is allowed into the Library only after it's sheathed in plastic. And I know the almost precise location of each of the 807 books right down to the shelf, row and surrounding books.
Obsession, thunders my mother. I wickedly point to the Erasmus quote pasted on the Library, 'When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.'
Somehow, these lines reassure me that I'm not alone.
It's been six months since I started the blog. And when i think about it, the urge to write has undoubtedly been inspired by everything I've read and enjoyed all these years. The journey continues...

In recent days, a number of people have made this their Facebook status:
"A teacher somewhere in your neighborhood tonight is grading and preparing lessons to teach your children while you are watching television. In the minute it takes you to read this, teachers all over the world are using their 'free time', and often investing their own money, for your child's literacy, prosperity, and future. Re-post if you are a teacher, love a teacher or appreciate our teachers."
There seems to be a sentiment out there that we don't appreciate teachers, and I just don't understand the point of the above quote. Many professions require that we work extra hours without pay. I do it practically every day of my life. I work in an I.T. department. I've worked weekends and been called in on holidays (all without extra pay) because my job requires it and people are depending on me. Just last week I had to do some work on a server, but due to company policies, I had to wait until after 2:00am to do it. And I frequently use my own money and resources to do so. But this is what I signed up for; I understand it and I'm fine with it. It's what I do. I'm not saying this to get a pat on the back or anything, I just don't understand why the fact that teachers do it is anything special.
Listen, I appreciate teachers as much as the next guy. There is no way we could ever pay teachers enough for the impact they make on our childrens' lives. There's just no way. I've had some great teachers in my life, and my daughters have had even better teachers here in the West De Pere School District. It takes a special person to do what they do. But let's not kid ourselves by claiming that they put in more time than your average worker.

Hey, I know of hundreds of loyal ESO fans chomping at the bit to play ESO on Stadia. It's release day and.... Crickets!
I'm sure most of us eager to play The Elder Scrolls Online would appreciate an update or explaination as to why the game is not showing up in the library yet? What is going on? Can we please have some info on a release Time if it will happen today or not. Many people bought Stadia just to play ESO on different devices, so what's the hold up?
The marketing around the release has been quite low key which surprises me.
I do hope thought that it isnt going to be pulled due to any late bugs etc.
Communication is the key.
I don't know where or what country your in but I have to disagree....ESO coming to Stadia has been #1 from the get go.
It's almost 9am Central Standard Time and still nothing. I'm not one of those people who typically stays up for releases at midnight, but we're a third of the way through the release date and I'm starting to feel like the two guys from Spaceballs in the desert with the fro pick. I'm not upset or anything. In fact I'm probably the opposite. I'm not at work because I took the day off to get my first haircut since January because I'm out here looking like Nick Nolte in his mug shot (look it up kids, it's not pretty). Anyway, I hope one of you has better luck and let's me know the second it releases in Middle America. Also my wife told me I can give COVID to my dogs now. So if I can't play with my dogs at least give me ESO.
Yep so minutes after my post......it went live! your post was truly real and you are funny my friend! thanks for the chuckles at such an awkward time!
When and where? This is the first I'm hearing it. Thank you for the update.
Just claimed it!
It's in the store now. REDEEMED!
It is on there now. However, I cannot get it to load once I acknowledge all of the stuffs and things. Is anyone else having trouble with that? I have tried the North America server and the EU server, no luck.
Same problem here 😞
Yea, can't login to create character. Server is probably flooded with new players.
Make sure you link your ESO account to Stadia. Otherwise, you will get a greyed out window when trying to login to game. That's what happened to me. Need to show a message. I found out through Discord.
Strange. It did pop up a message with a link telling me to link my accounts, had no problems getting in.

Shane is an Irish Singer-songwriter from Dublin, now based in Vienna. His musical style fits neatly into the Irish Indie Folk box. Likened to REM, Crowded House, Rufus Wainright III and Ron Sexsmith, it is easy to see where his songwriting loyalties lie. Irish music however, is his first love. On stage Shane Ó Fearghail is one of the best live performers out there. Energetic, engaging and unpretentious with a genuine depth and craft to his songwriting that is never far from his Irish Folk roots in it's storytelling and pathos.
Having released his critically acclaimed debut album 'The Watcher & The Comet' – produced by Herbie Macken (Neil Finn, Gavin Friday) as Caruso, he signed a publishing deal for Europe. His self produced second album 'Everything You Need Is Here', released under his own name, took him a step further, securing licensing deals in North America and in turn established him as a solid solo performer and consistent songwriter.
'They Might See Dolphins' – his newest long play, was recorded in Germany and Austria in 2016. Co-produced alongside Bavarian producer Christian Knollmueller, it is a "fan-funded" creation and an eclectic mix of eleven beautifully crafted songs – with the production to match. It shows a distinct creative turn in lyric and musical direction, cementing Shane as a well rounded creative songwriter helping him secure worldwide publishing with Sentric Music UK. Now working on two new solo albums consecutively (first one is due out in September 2019), Shane is also in the pre-production planning stages for an album with "The Host" his full band project. With a career in music that spans over a decade, three albums, copious amounts of concerts and festivals, closes shaves with the majors, Shane has managed to maintain his independent identity and has carved out his own personal niche and network in Europe and beyond.
Other Strings
With a background in Animation, Writing, Art & Film Making, Shane has worked for many of the big studios. Still active as an artist, other strings to his bow include: Co-writing and song collaboration projects, having had professioanl releases for other artists. He is a founding member of the Vienna Songwriting Circle (VSC) , which was set up to develop the art of songwriting in the city.

In his spare time he manages the Acoustic Room, The Song Factory, The Artists Place & the new Vintage Sessions at the Brickmakers – all live performance platforms in Vienna supporting original music and upcoming songwriters. In 2016 he set up Fair Play Concerts, a non profit platform designed and dedicated to the promotion of art and original music in Vienna, where he is active in voicing the needs of writers and performers and general fair play. A vegetarian Shane is also an active member of Fridays For Future Vienna and a lover of all things green. Not just Ireland!

In some ways, this graph showing the adoption of solar power in Los Angeles is sad, because countries like Germany are already generating half of their energy from solar. But in other ways it's promising, as rooftop solar adoption is moving at an exponential pace.
Solar in Los Angeles seems to have hits its tipping point, and may be well on its way to providing a large double digit chunk of our energy in LADWP's electric service territory.
Sure, there are a lot of complexities dealing with that change and its effect on the grid along the way, but it's a solid start.

Puppy toys are frequently expensive and don't tend to last very very long, so creating home made versions that are inexpensive is great, especially when you have got a puppy that actually enjoys his playthings. Avoid waste money on pup toys that barely last half an hour; make better and cheaper playthings that your puppy will appreciate just simply because much, if not really more than the store-bought playthings.

Today's Runes for James Gandolfini
spread is used to plot the crucial elements of past, present, and future, and to reveal the evolution of the situation through the arc of time.
Jade Runes
are most commonly used for questions about love, friendship, and relationships.
The left rune represents an important element of
the past
means gift, and like any gifts, the rune may be understood on many levels. Gifts are generally positive things, for both the giver and the recipient. In many cultures however, gifts and favors carry with them an obligation to respond in kind. It is for this reason that gifts, and hence the rune Gebo, are frequently symbolic of friendships, marriages, alliances, mergers, and other bonds between people or organizations. Gebo is a strong rune and the unions represented are strong as well. Moreover, Gebo is not reversible, as true friendships are not easily undone.
The middle rune represents a deciding element of
the present
is the rune of hail. Hail is a destructive and elemental force, so one can expect this rune to represent the disruption of one's life. In the harsh northern winter there is a halt to activity, and so delay or hindrance is frequently associated with this rune. The opposite of chaos is yet more chaos, as illustrated by the fact that this rune cannot be reversed.
The right rune represents the critical element of
the future
refers to a god or the spoken word of God. It is the voice of reason, law, prophecy and truth. It is the truth heard in the wind. This rune represents wisdom obtained or knowledge delivered. It is the rune of absolute good advice and true council - the message we all must strive to hear.

Fermented vegetables are a great way of adding flavor and exotic taste to your dish. Asian cuisines usually infuse this to their dishes and western cuisines use this to add an Asian touch to their dishes. Modern and experimental dishes are learning to infuse fermented vegetables in the dishes.
The great thing about it is, chefs can be all dandy and fancy in throwing a pinch of fermented vegetables to their creation and so can you. This article will give you 9 fermented vegetables that you can throw on to pizzaz to your homemade dish.
Fermented Vegetables to Add to Your Meals
1. Miso
Miso is a fermented vegetable composed of soybean, salt, bacteria, and grain. Sometimes, miso's grain ingredient can be either rice, barley, or oats.
Do not overcook by rendering it through too much high temperature and by longer periods of time. You might eliminate the good bacteria and nutrients out of your Miso. The best way to add Miso in your soup or sauce is by adding it in the end (fires are turned off and the dish is ready for cooling).
There are many types of Miso. Each type of Miso is added to a dish that suits it. The lighter the Miso, the more bland and less kick it has. The darker the Miso, the perkier and more pronounced is its flavor.
Here are some of the dishes in which you can throw in your Miso fermented vegetable:
- Miso Soup in Seaweed and Tofu
- Caramelized Onion Aubergine
- Mix Vegetable Salad
Precaution: Miso has a high salt content. Therefore, if your doctor confined you to a diet in which you should lower your salt or sodium consumption, try to use Miso in moderation.
2. Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is a fermented vegetable that originated in Germany and later flourished in France. It is a cabbage that has been lacto-fermented. It is pasteurized in a pot and is preserved for a long time. The process of lacto-fermentation allows the cabbage to be softer, more digestible, and gain vitamins.
Unpasteurized sauerkraut has more good bacteria than a pasteurized one. You can distinguish pasteurize from unpasteurized by looking at the Sauerkraut's package.
Here are some dishes you can infuse Sauerkraut in:
- Meatball with Sauekraut
- Bratwurst Stew with Sauerkraut
- Turkey Sausage with Sauerkraut
- Ham, Bean and Bacon Soup with Sauerkraut
- Pork Loin Dumplings in Sauerkraut
3. Tempeh
Tempeh is a fermented soybean with a mixture of the mushroom Rhizopus oligosporus. Fermentation sticks the soybean to each other. During the fermentation process, the mushroom Rhizopus oligosporus disappears but it leaves a lingering taste to the fermented dish.
Tempeh is rich in protein and fiber. Tempeh as a fermented soybean is easy to digest.
Here are some dishes you can infuse Tempeh in:
- Salad With Tempeh
- Tempeh Tacos
- Teriyaki Tempeh
- Sweet and Sour Pork Tempeh
- Guacamole Avocado Toast with Tempeh
- Tempeh Sloppy Joes

- Korean BBQ With Tempeh
- Curry Kale With Tempeh
- Buffalo Wings Tempeh Tenders
- Ramen With Roasted Tempeh
4. Sourdough bread
Sourdough bread is a wheat-derived flour fermented vegetable which uses water to help in the fermentation process. Throughout the fermentation process, a culture of yeast and bacteria develops. The presence of yeast and bacteria allows the bread to rise when you bake it. If what you have is a piece of leavened bread, that bread should be artisanal (it has undergone a fermentation process of at least 24 hours). Sourdough bread with a more pronounced taste is a nice touch to your toast.
Here are some dishes you can infuse Sourdough bread in:
- Mushroom Cheese Crostini
- Tomato Crostini
- Zucchini Cheddar Toast
- French Onion
- Philly Cheesesteak Sourdough Bread Bowl
- Sourdough Waffles
- Asparagus with Sourdough
- Sourdough Egg Breakfast
- Bacon Cheese Dip with Sourdough Bread
- Gouda Grilled Cheese in Sourdough Bread
- Blackberry Sourdough Scones
- Sausage Sourdough Stuffing

It can almost be found anywhere and in barbeque dishes. Its delicious warming taste and acidity are exploited to suit Asian dishes. Kimchi benefits are better captured if you chose to buy its unpasteurized and refrigerated version.
Here are some dishes you can infuse Kimchi in:
- Scrambled Eggs with Kimchi

photo: Perry DellaValle (Brian Walton/The Cardinal Nation)
The St. Louis Cardinals farm system went 1-3 on Wednesday as Peoria and Springfield combined to surrender 18 runs, Palm Beach lost a classic pitchers' duel despite eight shutout innings from Player of the Day Perry DellaValle, and Memphis salvaged a nail-biting home win over San Antonio.
Results for games played Wednesday, April 17th.
Memphis outlasted the Missions 7-6 and leveled their record at 7-7 as the offense was spearheaded by a pair of 23-year-old middle infielders. Edmundo Sosa and Tommy Edman had three hits apiece for the Redbirds, lifting their averages to .333 and .370, respectively, while first baseman John Nogowski drilled a two-run homer in the fourth to give the club a lead they would never cough up.
Daniel Ponce de Leon (105 pitches) was the starter and winner, allowing four runs over six innings, and permitting a pair of longballs among seven base knocks. Ryan Meisinger pitched around third baseman Ramon Urias' first error of the season, delivering two hitless and walkless innings with two strikeouts. John Fasola got the shaky save after giving up two ninth-inning tallies.
Thursday's game: vs. San Antonio, Alex Reyes (1-0, 0.00) 7:05 CT.
Springfield fell to 5-9 as the staff was cuffed around for six homers in a 10-7 slugfest home loss to Tulsa. Righty starter Casey Meisner was the primary victim, as he was bludgeoned for five home runs in five innings. Roel Ramirez was shelled as well, allowing eight baserunners in just three stanzas, and four earned runs.
Among the S-Card batters, the leader was outfielder Shane Billings in his season debut. The Wingate University product doubled, homered, and drew a walk in his four plate appearances. Scott Hurst nearly matched him, as he also popped his first homer of 2019, and added a walk and a single on the afternoon.
Thursday's game: at NW Arkansas, LHP Austin Warner (0-1, 5.00), 7:05 CT.
Player of the Day Perry DellaValle dazzled the Lakeland batters but he couldn't pitch forever, and bullpenner Ben Yokley gave up a two-out solo walkoff homer in the ninth as Palm Beach fell 1-0, dropping their season record to 10-4. (They nevertheless maintained their one-game lead in the Florida State League South, as their nearest pursuers went winless as well.) DellaValle matched last year's #1 overall draft pick Casey Mize pitch-for-pitch, even though the Cardinal was drafted 812 picks lower. DellaValle whiffed eight Flying Tigers, seven swinging, while conceding just three singles and a walk.
The only two Palm Beach hits were provided by shortstop Rayder Ascanio, who doubled, and center fielder Chase Pinder, who had an infield hit to open the game. (Justin Toerner did not play. Other than his spectacular season line of .462/.614/.641, I have no reason to believe he's been promoted.)
Thursday's game: vs. St. Lucie, Angel Rondon (2-0, 0.90) 5:30 CT.
Outfielder Lars Nootbaar and 18-year old Panamanian catcher Ivan Herrera each went deep and Nootbaar added a three-bagger, but it wasn't enough, as the Chiefs fell 8-4 to the LumberKings. Last year's eighth round pick out of Southern Cal, Nootbaar is now slugging over .600 despite striking out only 10% of the time. Herrera meanwhile is making a run at Nolan Gorman for best 18-year-old hitter on the team (and on the planet) trailing the top prospect in OPS just 1.146 to 1.034.
Peoria (now 5-8) was led on the bump by 20-year-old righty Alvaro Seijas, who equaled his career high with nine punchouts and lowered his season ERA to 2.51 by permitting one run on four hits and a walk across six stellar frames. Fellow lefty Jacob Schlesener's (loss, 0-1) severe control struggles continued as the Rogersville native walked all four men he faced, all of whom scored, with Noel De Jesus (blown save) charged with three more (two earned) in his inning of work. Southpaw reliever Evan Sisk made his 2019 debut, fanning four men in two innings, with one hit and walk each, but the offense could not close the gap.
Thursday's game: at Burlington, Cole Aker (0-1, 11.25), 6:30 CT.

Reduce stress
Experiencing some stress is part of everyday life, but when it persists over time, it can cause vascular changes and chemical imbalances that are damaging to the brain and other cells in your body. By managing or lowering your stress, you can improve your brain health and reduce your risk of dementia.
Symptoms of chronic stress may include the following:
- Emotional: depression, tension, anxiety, anger, worry, fear
- Physical: headache, fatigue, insomnia, sweating
- Mental: poor concentration, memory loss, indecisiveness, confusion
- Behavioural: fidgeting, overeating, alcohol and drug abuse
If symptoms of stress persist, contact your doctor.
How to reduce stress
- Take personal time for yourself. Exercise, relaxation, entertainment, hobbies and socializing are essential parts of our health and well-being. Everyone needs to find a balance that limits stress and helps maintain optimal health.
- Identify unrealistic expectations and try to accept what cannot be changed.
- Seek and accept support.
- Be prepared – new or unfamiliar situations can create stress and anxiety.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Laugh.
- Reduce the harmful effects of stress on your mind and body through meditation, deep breathing, massage or physical exercise. The key is to explore a variety of techniques and find those that work for you.
- For more great ways to take action on brain health, visit our BrainBooster® activity pages.
As my mom's caregiver, letting go of expectations I had of her – and of myself – has helped reduce stress for both of us. As long as she's happy, I don't get caught up in how things should be or how she should behave. I respect my own limitations, too, and make time for myself. Whether it's reading a book, playing trivia, or petitioning for a national dementia strategy, keeping my brain active helps me cope with the everyday realities of Alzheimer's.
- Cathy Grand (left), caregiver for her mother Huguette (right)
