Two Indian-Americans made it to the prestigious American Rhodes Scholar Class of 2018 announced Nov. 18. They were among the 32 outstanding students selected from around the country and will commence their studies at Oxford in October 2018.
Samarth Gupta of Harvard and Jaspreet "Jesse" Singh of the U.S. Air Force Academy will be among a distinguished list of past winners including former presidents and other high achievers.
They were selected from a pool of 866 candidates who had been nominated by their colleges and universities. They will now complete their applications to begin courses at Oxford next year, widely across the University's academic disciplines.
Samarth Gupta, of Acton, Massachusetts, immigrated to the United States from India with his family when he was three. He is a Harvard senior concentrating in Economics, according to the bios released by Rhodes. Already the recipient of the Truman Scholarship, Gupta's senior thesis explores how increased access to health care contributes to community housing stability. He has done extensive research on the causes and consequences of eviction on individual and community health, interned with the City of Boston Office of Housing Stability and with the White House Council of Economic Advisors. Samarth is captain of the Harvard College Running Club, was one of two students on the Harvard General Education Standing Committee, and was a staff writer for the Harvard Political Review. He intends to do the M.Sc. in Comparative Social Policy at Oxford.
Jaspreet "Jesse" Singh, of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is a senior at the United States Air Force Academy where he is pursuing a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. Singh's research addresses questions of policy, ethics, and the management of military assets and nuclear weapons. In his career, Singh intends to bridge the divide that exists between technology and policy. He interned at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and conducts ongoing research at the Center for Aircraft Structural Life Extension. Jesse has completed several ultramarathons. At Oxford, Singh plans to study for an M.Sc. in Engineering Science.
Elliot F. Gerson, American Secretary of the Rhodes Trust, described this year's class as reflecting the "rich diversity" of America, including ten African-Americans, the most ever elected in a U.S. Rhodes class; African and Asian immigrants; other Asian, Muslim, and Latino Americans; an Alaskan Native (Aleut); a transgender man, a self-acknowledged transgender Rhodes Scholar; four from colleges that have never before elected Rhodes Scholars in the 115 years of the United States Rhodes Scholarships.
The value of the Rhodes Scholarship varies depending on the academic field and the degree chosen. The Rhodes Trust pays all college and university fees, provides a stipend to cover necessary expenses while in residence in Oxford as well as during vacations, and transportation to and from England. The total value of the Scholarship averages approximately US$68,000 per year, and up to as much as approximately US$250,000 for Scholars who remain at Oxford for four years in certain departments.
The first class of American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904.

Six U.S. Women to Make History Completing 2012 Tour De France
BOULDER, COLORADO (June 20, 2012) – Beginning one day ahead of the male professionals, six amateur women will ride the entire route of the 2012 Tour de France. Riding as part of the Rêve project (reve.cc), this will be the first group of women attempting to complete this course. Rêve aims to raise $60,000 for the Bikes Belong Foundation (http://www.bikesbelong.org/foundation), dedicated to putting more people on bikes more often. The team will start in Liege, Belgium, June 29, 2012 and will ride 21 days and 2,162 miles to the finish line, arriving in Paris on July 21 — one day before the pro peloton finishes the official Tour de France.
The women will face the same hurdles that define the annual three-week test of will and strength that is the Tour de France. However, they will not have the same support such as closed roads or cheering crowds, steepening the challenge. Team members include a molecular biologist, a journalist, mothers and business owners. Jennifer Cree, Maria del Pilar Vasquez, Kym Fant, Kristen Peterson, Kate Powlison and Heidi Swift hope to make history in Paris by completing the Rêve Tour and raising awareness for the Bikes Belong Foundation.
"Increasing women's participation in bicycling is a longstanding interest of mine, both personally and professionally,†said Rêve team member Kate Powlison, research analyst and communications coordinator for Bikes Belong. "At Bikes Belong, we work to make bicycling safer and stress-free, encouraging more women to ride bikes. I'm doing the Rêve Tour to prove that any woman, no matter how daunting the challenge -- whether it's a century ride, a steep hill, or riding to work for the first time—can be done.â€
Rêve sponsor peloton magazine will host regular team and status updates on the event. Editor at large and Rêve team member Heidi Swift will share daily stories from the road on pelotonmagazine.com. To help the team reach their fundraising goal for Bikes Belong donations can be made at womens-tour.stayclassy.org. Every donation of $50 or more will receive a gift subscription to peloton.
"Rêve will be a milestone event for women's bicycling,†said Bruno Maier, vice president of Bikes Belong. "Not only will it go a long way in supporting the sport, but also, it raises awareness of our mission to incorporate bicycling into everyday life. We are extremely proud of this dedicated team and honored to be a part of it.â€
Additional Rêve sponsors include 110%, Alpinestars, Bayer Healthcare, Cannondale, Capo, CLIF Bar, Fizik, FSA, Giro, Osmo Nutrition, Schwalbe, SmallHD, Sportique, Spy Optics, SRAM, Strava, Westone, Zacuto, and ZIPP.
About Bikes Belong Foundation
The Bikes Belong Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization focused on improving bicycle safety and enhancing children's bike programs. It administers the Safe Routes to School National Partnership, supports the Bicycling Design Best Practices Project, and directs the Peopleforbikes.org campaign.

Huawei NZ recognises the 2019 graduates of their sixth-annual Seeds for the Future scholarship, after sending 20 keen Kiwi IT undergraduate students to China on a two-week experience programme.
Selected from 97 applicants, five students each from the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology, four students from Massey University and six students from Victoria University, graduated from the Seeds for the Future programme armed with valuable knowledge on China's technology industry.
The fully funded trip aims to provide more than just immersive experience into the lives of those working at one of the world's leading technology companies, but to provide a broader understanding of international companies.
During the two-week immersive experience, students spend a week in Beijing gaining mandarin language training and visiting The Forbidden City, Summer Palace and the Great Wall of China.
The second week takes places at Huawei's Headquarters in Shenzhen and campus in Dongguan. During this week students learn about international business culture alongside a deeper understanding of Huawei's products and solutions.
Andrew Bowater, Huawei NZ Deputy Managing Director, says Seeds for the Future is a global initiative that allows students to see Huawei's operation and help that inform their career decisions.
"Our programme gives undergraduates the opportunity to meet the professionals leading their fields and question them first-hand on why they do what they do. This programme is highly immersive, really allowing students to understand how businesses outside of New Zealand collaborate and share expertise when it comes to the IT industry.
"We aim to provide a vital link between classroom learning and the type of real-world situations students will face once they enter the workforce, both challenging and inspiring students who are considering a future in technology.
"It's not just about going to HQ and seeing the work we do at Huawei. It's also about understanding Chinese culture and a different way of life, which is why half of the experience is spent at Beijing Language and Cultural University and visiting China's sacred monuments," Bowater said.
The Head of External Relations and Development for the School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences at Auckland University of Technology, Dr Stephen Thorpe says it is an unprecedented opportunity for the students.
"The students are so lucky to be exposed to the day to day operations at one of the largest technology companies in the world. This is an opportunity that will transform the global perspective and the lives of each of the students as they see the scope of innovative technology being developed. What the students will get to learn in that week at the Huawei HQ will inspire them throughout their future career in this incredibly fast-moving industry."
"Programmes like this provide a significant link between classroom learning and that in industry and align with the School's strategic theme of the connected university by engaging students in real-world experiences that both inspire and challenge their thinking about the future of technology."
He says AUT is lucky to have a positive relationship with Huawei as they go through come challenging times internationally.
"This relationship demonstrates the importance AUT places on our students getting real-world insights and experience. It shows how universities and big tech companies have the power to drive global growth and to create educational opportunities."

For some Canadians, owning a pet is one of the most important aspects of their lives. Whether it be a dog, cat or possibly an exotic bird, the truth is these animals become part of the family. We take them with us wherever we go — including rental unit after rental unit — even if finding a pet-friendly rental proves more difficult than their potty-training. Here's what you need to know about renting with pets in Canada and finding that perfect pet-friendly rental.
Renting a unit with pets in Canada isn't so straight-forward. From B.C. to Newfoundland, each province and territory has their own rules and regulations surrounding landlords rights to refuse pets and to charge additional funds (sometimes called pet rent or pet security deposit). Although it's not legal for landlords to charge your dog or cat rent, in some provinces they can certainly prepare for any damages your furry friends may cause with pet-friendly rental units.

Wild-west when it comes to rules around renting with pets
Whether or not a landlord can charge a pet deposit — a refundable sum of money provided at the start of your tenancy — or pet rent (monthly, non-refundable payments) depends on what province you live in. That's because landlord and tenancy issues fall under provincial jurisdiction.
For renters, rules can change from one province to the next and, as long as the landlord is complying with the laws, from one building to the next.
For instance, landlords in B.C., Manitoba and the Northwest Territories can charge as much as half of one month's rent as a pet deposit. So, if you pay $800 per month in rent, landlords in these two provinces and one territory can demand as much as $400 up-front, before you move into the unit.
In Ontario, landlords can charge up to a full month's rent for a pet deposit.
All other provinces and territories do not have set rules and regulations for these types of transactions — which means it could go either way.
For instance, the Saskatchewan Government allows landlords the choice of charging tenants either a pet deposit or pet rent — but not both. If a Saskatchewan landlord specifies that the pet fee is "non-refundable," then the pet fee you pay at the start of your tenancy is not part of your security deposit and you will not get that money back.
Sounds harsh for renters in Saskatchewan, but there is a silver lining. If the total pet deposit and security deposit exceeds one month's rent, the excess amount is immediately refundable to the tenant and may be deducted from rent by the tenant. Good to know.
Paying for damage with a pet deposit
For pet-friendly rentals, it's not uncommon for landlords to ask for a pet deposit. In all provinces, a landlord can offset the damage caused by the tenant or the tenant's pet using either the security deposit, the first and last month's rent (which is paid up-front, at the start of a tenancy in some provinces, like Ontario), or the pet deposit or fee.
Keep in mind, in most provinces, the landlord is not required to return any part of the pet fee or deposit, even if the damage caused to the unit is less than the amount of the fee that was initially charged.
Damages in excess of the pet fee or deposit may be claimed against the security deposit, and against the tenant if the damages exceed the amount of the security deposit. (However, a landlord will have to apply through provincial Small Claims Court to try and get additional money from owed by the tenant for damages.)
Is it illegal to deny rental to you and your pet?
Right, so you're prepared to pay a bit extra in order to keep Fido, Pickle and One-Eyed Jack the parrot in your family, but now the potential landlord is refusing to rent you the unit. Is that even legal?
As with most tenant issues in Canada, it depends where you live.
If you're trying to rent a unit in the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, PEI or Ontario, the landlord is allowed to deny a tenant a tenancy, if that tenant has pets.
In Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan, a landlord can deny a potential renter a unit due to pets, but only if the lease clearly stipulates that this is a policy. If the lease doesn't state that pets are not allowed, then the laws are clear: You can move in, with pets, and face no repercussions.
This was good news for Courtney Thomas, a renter in Calgary, Alberta. She was the proud fur-mama to three pets: a cat and two rabbits. When she first started to look for a rental suite she noticed some difficulty in finding a rental unit that would allow for her animals. "We currently rent a unit with a landlord who is completely comfortable with our pets — but before this place, we struggled to find options." Thomas understands the concerns of landlords but also knows the pain of being a responsible tenant and fur-mama. The two are not mutually exclusive, she explains.
What's a fur-parent to do in finding a pet-friendly rental?
While provincial tenancy laws and regulations will stipulate the general rules that apply to a pet-friendly rental, keep in mind that certain kinds of property will have additional restrictions and legal obligations. For example, some condominium buildings won't allow pets, even if the provincial rules have no restrictions on pets in rental apartments. In this situation, a tenant must follow the rules of both the province and the condo or face lawful eviction.
Still, as a general rule of thumb, the lease in any province on any unit will typically have the final word. But even in provinces where rules appear to give landlords more options for denying pets, keep in mind that sometimes all it takes is a simple conversation. Talk to the landlord to see if you can both reach an amicable agreement — one that allows for your pets and protects their asset (the rental unit). Just remember, that whatever is discussed and agreed to verbally, should be put in writing.
It's hard enough finding a good quality place to live within a certain budget, nevermind being denied because of a furry family member. Still, for most people looking for an accommodating landlord and a good pet-friendly rental is worth the challenge.

Peace Like a River
Amidst many attributes and gifts that accompany salvation is one of the main ones, Peace. Mentioned 400 times in the Bible.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
Jesus made this statement to the disciples along with the promises regarding mansions. Obviously the only source of real peace is Jesus Christ. The earth has never, in its long existence, had world wide peace. When it says, "peace, peace", then sudden destruction comes. I was reading an article this week about what life is like for citizens in a war zone. It's the closest thing to Hell on earth. What does Roosevelt, Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohitu bring to mind? They were the main leaders of the warring factions of WW2. I hope I make a point here by saying when nations war, it is generally centered in certain individuals who cannot get along with each other. Generally money, land and subjects are the subjects or objects of war. Two or more people get into it because they cannot co-exist in peace.
Now for the biggie. The Bible sums it up by stating the there is no peace to the wicked. In longer theological thought, that is a simplistic way of saying there is no natural peace with God, and if there no natural peace with God then there is no natural peace with one another, and if there is no peace with one another then there is no real peace inside ourselves.
When you follow the times that Jesus used the word, "peace," you quickly realize the connection. Our lead text says that the world is incapable of giving the peace that Jesus gives. A real Christian will almost give the illusion of speaking a fantasy when speaking of the peace that Jesus gives. The title of this article references the chorus song that is a favorite of most believers. Peace like a river. Like the song says, Jesus peace mainly affects and effects the soul. But so that we avoid the accusation of being fanciful, we need to remind us that when the soul is affected, then the whole self is affected. A real believer who has the peace of Jesus in his soul, is much more likely to be at peace with his neighbor as long as the neighbor is willing.
The peace of God passes all understanding. Peace with God means that you do not feel threatened by God. You do not feel that God hates you. You do not feel that God is upset with you. You. You do not feel that God is holding something over your head. You can talk with God and know that he is hearing. You can ask God to supply your needs, and watch how miraculously he supplies your needs. You do not visualize God as some almighty supreme being out in outer space, by contrast you feel as close to Him as your dearest friend on earth. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
When we are inhabited by the peace of God, we are never deeply troubled by situations and circumstances. We have the peace of God that assures us that no matter what, it will turn out for the good, because God is taking care of the situation or circumstance. Those in the world get all bent out of shape by their situation or circumstance, but a Christian simply puts his trust in the Lord.
The greatest thing about the peace of God is the calm peace on the question, "Where will you spend eternity?"
Many people today think they are headed for Heaven, simply because they do not believe that any God would send any one to Hell. Many others think that they are as good as, 'some of the Christians they know!" But, both these types are going to be sadly shocked soon when they realize that God is going to do exactly what the Book says he is going to do. Hell awaits all of those who are not born of the spirit of God and missed his peace.

What happens with insuance when I leave my job
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(COBRA), a law created in 1986, gives workers (and
members of their family) who lose their health
insurance benefits the right continue their group
health insurance for a limited period of time under
circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job
loss, reduction in hours, transition between jobs,
divorce, adoption and death.
Generally, the employee pays up to 102% of the premium
cost for the same policy; this is still usually less
expensive than buying an individual insurance policy.
There are three basic aspects for qualifying for
COBRA: the qualifying event, the insurance plan
coverage and the qualified person.
Each aspect is taken into consideration when applying
for COBRA and you must elect to either apply for COBRA
or waive your rights to COBRA within 14 days after a
qualifying event.
You must also have been in the group insurance plan
during your employment to be eligible. Although there
are exceptions, generally you may continue to pay your
own premiums to keep COBRA coverage intact for up to
18 months.
Companies who have fewer than 20 employees, State or
Federal employers or employee organizations may not
offer COBRA coverage.
Check with your health insurance administrator to see
if you may qualify. You may also have this information
readily available in your group health insurance
policy or in your company handbook.
Although it may be expensive, the cost of being able
to keep your group insurance coverage rate may be well
worth it.

text: yao 6 Report post Posted July 31, 2013 The Lighthill stress tensor is constructed by taking derivatives of the velocity field. It is possible to build all terms of the Lighthill stress tensor within a post processing package (Fieldview, Ensight, or Paraview) by using the function calculator. To make this calculation efficient, it is suggested that the -extout flag is used on acuTrans when converting the solution to the post-processor format. This writes the velocity gradients to the file. The velocity gradients can then be assembled appropriately in the post processing package to form the Lighthill stress tensor without havin to compute each derivative in the post processor. The divergence of the Lighthill stress tensor is typically used for visualizing the acoustic source strength. Creating and animating isosurfaces of divT can provide insight into the acoustic source characteristics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you lived and worked in the UK for any period of time, you will likely have accrued savings in a UK pension. And if you've moved to Australia – either for the first time or as a returning resident – you may (understandably) not want to see that money go to waste. You may be able to have that money transferred to your super fund, but it's not the most straightforward process.
Am I eligible to transfer my UK pension to my super?
According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), you'll generally need to take into account both the Australian and UK rules for any transfer. The ATO suggests there are three key criteria for moving your UK pension funds into your superannuation account while minimising fees and tax:
- You must be under 75 years at the time
- You must meet the Australian 'work test' if you are aged between 65 and 74. The ATO has more details about the 'work test' available on its website.
- The maximum UK pension balance you can transfer using the Australian superannuation non-concessional contributions bring-forward rule is $300,000, based on figures for the 2018-19 financial year.
It's important to note that, according to the ATO, if you're 65 years of age or older, you're not able to make use of the bring-forward rule even if you do meet the work test. This means you can choose to either only transfer the yearly non-concessional limit of $100,000, or attract a 47% tax rate on the portion of the transferred amount which exceeds $100,000.
You may also want to consider that, as outlined on the UK Government website, 'accessing benefits (directly or indirectly) before the age of 55 will result in a liability to UK tax charges in all but the most exceptional circumstances'.
If you choose to leave your pension in the UK, in the time remaining until you turn 55 it may be prudent to actively manage your UK pension, including making sure you're not paying too much in fees.
Can my super fund receive a UK pension transfer?
Changes to the UK pension laws made in 2015 rendered a significant number of Australian super funds unable to receive UK pension amounts. This was because UK pension laws now require that a super fund unconditionally guarantee an absolute minimum access age of 55, with limited exceptions, such as in certain cases of ill health. Australian funds which didn't provide this guarantee were barred from accepting UK pension transfers.
As detailed by the ATO, many Australian funds, including some of the biggest retail and industry funds, also allow members to have early access on other grounds, such as financial hardship, in line with local superannuation laws. As a result, many of these funds are no longer eligible to receive UK pension transfers.
In order to be able to accept a UK pension transfer, the super fund in question needs to be registered in the UK as a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) – the registration of QROPS is managed by the UK pension regulator, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). If you're looking to transfer your UK pension to your super fund, you should check with your fund to find out if it's registered as a QROPS or not.
My fund isn't a QROPS – what are my options?
If your fund is not permitted to receive UK pensions, ATO information suggests you have three main options:
- Make use of an SMSF
- Sign up with the Australian Expatriate Superannuation Fund (AESF)
- Wait until you're 55 and then have your pension money transferred to an Australian or British bank account from which you can access it
Let's look at these three options in more detail.
Using an SMSF
Because the rules of an SMSF are set by the trustee(s) – who are also members of the fund – they are relatively flexible, although they must still comply with Australian superannuation and tax laws. It can be a simple matter to set an SMSF up for yourself and have it registered as a QROPS to transfer your UK pension to.
However, unless the amount of money you're looking to transfer is significant, setting up an SMSF purely for the purposes of transferring your pension across may not be cost-effective. The administrative costs of setting an SMSF up, combined with any specialist advisory services you may require, can stack up quickly.
If you decide that setting up an SMSF will be a cost-effective way of recouping your UK pension, you will need to:
- Set up your SMSF, making sure that the wording of the trust deed is compliant with UK pension regulations and that the SMSF is correctly set up under Australian law.
- Lodge a request for your SMSF to be registered as a QROPS with HMRC – this can be done online, and in order to do so you will need to provide the details of your SMSF along with its trust deed.
- Wait for between four and eight weeks for your request to be processed.
- Once/if your SMSF is registered as a QROPS, obtain, complete, and submit the required paperwork to release your UK pension and have it transferred to your SMSF.
Once you've received your pension funds, you can either carry on using the SMSF, or roll your pension money into your regular super fund and shut down the SMSF in order to avoid dealing with its ongoing administrative requirements.

Signing up with the Australian Expatriate Superannuation Fund (AESF)
The AESF is a fund tailor-made for those looking to have their UK pension transferred to Australia – it had more than 100 members as of December 2017, and will manage the entire pension transferal process for you. However, it does charge fees which are not insignificant, including initial set-up fees, transfer fees, and investment management/administration fees. Check the AESF's PDS for exact figures.
Transferring your pension money into a bank account
Once you reach 55 (Britain's current preservation age), you can simply have the money paid out into an Australian or British bank account. However, both options might have tax implications:
- If you choose to have your whole pension paid out into a British bank account, the UK government's Pension Wise advises that while the first 25% will likely be tax-free, the remainder will be taxed at your regular marginal tax rate by adding it to the rest of your income earned in Britain.
- If you choose to have your whole pension paid out into an Australian bank account (which only some pension providers will do), the UK government warns you may be subject to fees or other financial penalty.
Will my transfer be taxed in Australia?
The ATO advises that you may have to pay tax as a result of transferring your UK pension if any portion of the transferred amount was accrued after you became an Australian resident.
I have been an Australian resident for no more than six months
The ATO advises that if you receive your pension payout within six months of becoming an Australian resident, the entire payment should be tax-free if all of the following apply:
- The entirety of the lump sum was earned/accumulated by you when you were not an Australian resident, or during a period which began after you became an Australian resident but ended before you received the payment.
- The total sum transferred doesn't exceed your 'vested' amount (i.e. it doesn't include any top-up or discretionary payments, and consists only of mandatory contributions along with their associated earnings) – the ATO offers examples of how this applies here.
I stopped being employed overseas less than six months ago
The ATO also notes that your transfer should be tax-free if it is made within six months of your employment in the UK terminating.
It has been more than six months since I became an Australian resident and/or since my foreign employment was terminated
If you do not meet the above criteria, received the lump sum more than six months after gaining Australian residency or ceasing employment in the UK, and were an Australian resident when you received the payment, there may be tax implications.
You will need to add some or all of the payment to your assessable income for the financial year it was paid to you, and the assessable portion of the payment should be treated as normal income for taxation purposes according to the ATO. However, if you instead choose to transfer the whole of your UK pension fund directly to a complying Australian super fund, the ATO advises that it will be taxed as assessable income of the superannuation fund rather than as your personal income. The ATO notes that if you choose to have your sum assessed as part of your complying super fund's assessable income, it will generally be taxed at 15%, which may be less than your marginal tax rate, depending on your income.
If you're now earning money in Australia, you may want to compare super funds to help ensure you're with a great-value provider suited to your needs.
If you're comparing Superannuation funds, the comparison table below displays some of the products currently available on Canstar's database for Australians aged 30-39 with a balance of up to $55,000, sorted by Star Rating (highest to lowest), followed by company name (alphabetical).

Fee, performance and asset allocation information shown in the table above have been determined according to the investment profile in the Canstar Superannuation Star Ratings methodology that matches the age group you selected.

In our last article we discussed the ethical argument with which so many practices battle when contemplating ways to make extra cash. Without an increase in revenues, it seems likely that more GP practices will be forced to close – and that will be bad for the patients on their books and the communities they serve.
Having established the need to charge and that it is ethical to do so on non-core services, in this article we'll look at a few ways to make extra cash in the GP practice.
What are non-core services?
Non-core and non-NHS work is generally not obligatory, but represents a potentially lucrative revenue stream for the GP practice. Your practice could, for example, offer the following services on a commercial basis:
-Accident and sickness forms for insurance purposes
-Patient certificates for gyms and sports clubs when they assess their member's fitness
-Pre-employment medical certificates
-Health reports required by insurance companies
-DWP required tests and certificates for benefits claims
-Medical reports for local authorities (e.g. when assessing people that want to foster or adopt)
What can our GP practice charge for non-core services?
The answer to this question is "whatever you want." However, there are two limiters to the amount that can be charged.
The first of these is the BMA guidance on fees. Now, this doesn't limit the amount you can charge but it does provide a ball-park number on the cost of non-NHS reports.
Secondly, if your charging structure is non-competitive or seen to be over-expensive, you will be unlikely to get the extra business you are hoping for. In addition, you might do damage to the reputation of the practice.
A good tip here is to scope out the market, speaking to target customers before making a formal offer of service provision.
Siemens Multistix 10SG, Tube of 100
£42.95 £20.00
Insight Urine Strips, 10 Parameter, Tube of 100
£21.50 £11.00
Our patients think that charging for signatures is extortionate. What can we do?
As a revenue generator, charging for signing certificates or reports has potential. However, patients commonly complain at being charged for a signature. To overcome this, explain that it is not the signature that is being charged for, it is the time it takes to confirm that the details being signed off are correct. It is a condition of remaining on the Medical Register that checks have to be made before any signature is provided – this takes a GP away from doing their other usual work of seeing and treating patients, and therefore has to be compensated.
Tips to expand making extra cash in the GP practice
1.Provide a menu of services
Provide a menu of non-core services, with rates for their provision, in a prominent place in the surgery, and on the practice website. Train doctors and clinical staff to offer these services if and when appropriate to do so.
2.Actively seek partnerships in the local community
Consider local companies that might benefit from your non-core services – solicitors, gyms, and sports clubs, for example.
3.Assess the market
Find out what companies are currently being charged for the services you are able to offer, and pitch your price accordingly. This doesn't mean you have to undercut, but you must be seen to provide value for money.
4.Avoid bad debts
Charge before undertaking a medical exam or providing other non-core service.
5.Continually look for new opportunities
This includes exploring new companies and organisations and also actively seeking to expand the services you offer. Ensure that your practice has a good mix of skills, and that these skills are apportioned appropriately.
6.Review your fee structure at regular intervals
Other services the GP practice can offer
-GPs can offer specialisations to other providers, such as minor operations; coil and implant fitting; health checks; nursing time.
-You might also consider offering unused rooms to other local service providers, such as physios; chiropodists; and podistrists.
-Look for a research forum in your local area, and find out what research programmes you might be able to participate in – some can be very lucrative.
Make use of your waiting room
While it might not be ethical or appropriate to pack the waiting room with coffee and drinks machines, there are certainly opportunities for televisual advertising, art for sale (local artists), sponsored videos, and advertisement boards that offer the services of local merchants and tradesmen.
These are just a few of the ways in which we've heard GP practices make extra cash. What strategies does your practice employ to ensure it remains solvent and able to serve the community?

You don't think we'd have gotten better at making things in a few thousand years? A lot of the difficulties in setting up new manufacturing lines can go away when you can manipulate material on a molecular scale.

Haven, which is noted at every opportunity for having a significantly worse tech base than Manticore or the League. Isn't that like using complaints from China when judging the feasibility of moving a factory from Europe to the US?

Unless I've missed something that states SL Core Worlds were forced to get all their system-defense tech from the Sol System, Beowulf already had missile assembly lines running for their own forces. Yes, they would have to adjust the lines for Alliance tech, but they already knew how to build "a relativistic speed travelling pile of fusion reactors, electronics, and nuclear warheads". We're not talking about Scotty dropping the formula for transparent aluminum on a 20th century plant manager.
And IIRC, the Beowulf military had known for some time that 1) the Solarian Navy had their heads up their butts and 2) just how good Manticoran tech was compared to Solarian. It wouldn't surprise me if a few trusted Beowulf armament companies had a package in their most secure safe, to be kept sealed unless their military contacts reported that things had hit the fan.

I prefer the story of FOGBANK
FOGBANK is the code name of a material that is used inside US nuclear weapons. It is generally believed to be an aerogel with properties that interact with the radiation front during detonation.
FOHBANK had been made in a large production line in the 80s, but the US Government, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to shutdown and scrap the plant that made it in the early 90s without a replacement. In 2000 someone realized they needed FOGBANK to refurbish W76 warheads and the NNSA decided that they could have a new plant running by 2005 based on the records and the existing pilot plant. Most of the people who had manufactured it were dead or retired, so they couldn't be asked. (Hmm - reminds me of some issue in the Honorverse...)
2005 came and went without a working plant (or a working production process) and in 2007 they finally claimed they had determined how to manufacture some. But it didn't work. $43 million later, after it became the highest priority project at the NNSA, in 2008 they said they had figured out how to manufacture it. It's actually unclear if they did at that point, as it's believed they salvaged FOGBANK and reused it for the first weapons that were refurbished.
Eventually they did, and it turned out that one of hte major issues was that what was believed to be an impurity in the feedstock for the process was actually a critical element of the reaction that produced the final product. And the new feedstock that was being provided for the process was higher purity than the one that was used in the past and didn't have enough of that chemical in it.

Actually no, they didn't.
Beowulf didn't have missiles with reactors in them.
Beowulf didn't have multistage missiles, with is what you need to reach relativistic velocities.
They certainly didn't have FTL transmitters that fit on missiles.

I read a story a generation or two ago, that when Rolls Royce was looking at building or buying an automatic transmission, they brought a General Motors slush-a-matic, and disassembled to see what made it work. They noticed that one part seemed to be especially poorly finished, not up to Rolls Royce standards, old boy. So they ran it back to the machine shop, and polished it smooth. Reassembled the transmission, and ran a function check on it.
Didn't work. Seems the rough finish wasn't a production defect, but an essential part of the design of the transmission.

Right, Since Beowulf coordinated their military so closely with Manticore many of us thought modern Beowulf ship designs had Manty parts or had a hidden "Manty mode" on their ships. David said no - Beowulf intentionally did not purchase Manty parts to hid the Manty capabilities from the SLN. Their ships are close to stock SLN in capabilities, if not design.
RFC said "refitting a Beowulfan SD to Manticoran standards would be just as difficult as refitting a standard SLN SD to those standards. In other words, it would be cheaper and faster to build new ships."

And that made perfect sense. Yes, they would have problems fighting Manticore but they had no reason to want to fight Manticore.
And in the old days Haven wouldn't have started with them because that would have begun a war with the Solarian League.
Of course, once a war began against the League, they could switch to new designs and might even take over some of the older ships that Manticore was replacing that were still better than what the League had.

PLANS to cut penalties for some speeding motorists were condemned as dangerous last night by Wrexham MP Ian Lucas.
The Labour backbencher attacked his own government's proposal for drivers caught just breaking the speed limit to receive two - instead of three points on their licence.
It is thought the lighter punishment would be handed out to someone caught driving at up to 39mph in a 30mph zone, although the details are still being worked out.
Yet studies have shown a pedestrian hit by a car travelling at around 35mph is twice as likely to be killed as a person struck at 30mph.
Speaking during a Commons debate on the road safety bill, Mr Lucas said: "I cannot understand how it makes sense to reduce the number of penalty points imposed for speeding offences."

- Airtel Rs 129 pack is valid for one month
- Arch rival Reliance Jio offers better data benefits for less
Since the debut of Reliance Jio in late 2015, incumbent players are having a tough time to beat the former's lucrative (sometimes predatory in nature) data tariff and losing out on a lot of revenues. But, leading telecom service provider Airtel, after being dormant for a few months, fought back with the same tricks to keep the customers from migrating to the Jio. Now, it has come with another creative Rs 125 pre-paid pack.
Airtel Rs 125 data pack offers free Hello Tunes, 100 SMSs per day, unlimited voice calls. Additionally, users are entitled to get 1GB high-speed 4G data per day and free national roaming. This comes with 28 days validity.
[Note: Hello Tunes (aka Caller Tunes in other brands) is an Airtel service, which allows users to set personalized songs. So, whenever a person tries calling that particular Airtel subscriber, can listen to a song instead of a default phone ring sound until he/she picks the call].
The new Rs 129 pack is budget version Rs 219 data tariff plan, which was announced last week. It has a bigger data (1.4GB) cap per day, but rest of benefits such as the free voice (local & STD) calls, free national roaming and 100 SMSes per day are same. It is also valid for 28 days.
As of now, Airtel's new Rs 125 pre-paid pack is available in select regions of India. Depending on the response, the company is expected to expand it more cities and towns in coming days.
Arch rival Reliance Jio too similar data pack for Rs 98. It offers double the data (2GB/day), unlimited calls and 100 SMSes per day, but it lacks Hello Tunes service. However, if you are a Prime subscriber, you are entitled to get free access Jio suite of apps including JioCinema, JioTV, JioMusic and more.
So, which data plan do you think is better--Airtel or Reliance? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Criterion's 'Bicycle Thieves' Captures the 'Life as It Was' Quality of the Film
Bicycle Thieves' exploration of the struggle of everyday people still resonates nearly 70 years later.
Bicycle ThievesDirector: Vittorio De Sica
Cast: Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola, Lianella Carell, Gino Saltamerenda, Vittorio Antonucci
Distributor: Criterion
Studio: Produzioni De Sica
US Release Date: 2016-03-29
Were I to come up with a single word to define the Criterion Collection's approach to the films they release, it would "respectful". Such a word could imply that these releases are staid or academic; nothing could be further from my meaning. Of the many films that Criterion has chosen, a diversity of selections from Michael Bay's The Rock to Alain Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad, one feature all have shared is an engagement with the material on its own terms.
To take the two examples above, not only does Criterion offer top-notch transfers and restorations, but the special features chosen contextualize the film within the genre and culture in which it was released: the release of The Rock had special features that focused on its effects, as well as the historical significance of its location, while Last Year at Marienbad offered interviews with director Resnais, a making-of documentary, and interviews with film scholars on the film's significance within the French New Wave movement.
This is no less true of Criterion's latest release of Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves, one of the premier films of the post-World War II Italian neorealist movement. The film's premise is a relatively quotidian story of a poor man, Antonio Ricci (Lamberto Maggiorani) who gets a job posting film posters around Rome. His wife Maria (Lianella Carell) pawns her dowry sheets to get his bicycle out of hock so he can accept the position, only to have his bike stolen as he's working. Antonio and his son Bruno (Enzo Staiola) spend the day trying to track down the thief. Finally Antonio, in a moment of desperation, steals an unattended bike and nearly gets arrested, until the bike's owner takes pity on him after seeing Bruno holding his father's hat.
It's a simple, even slightly sentimental film. Or as film scholar Mark Shiel refers to it in the analysis of the Italian neo-realist movement ("'Life as it Was': The Italian Neorealist Movement"), a film of "endearing directness". (De Sica was apparently inspired not only by 19th-century authors such as Dickens, but American filmmakers like Frank Capra.) Shiel's words offer an apt description; not only did De Sica and the neo-realists attempt to portray the everyday within their films, largely eschewing the studio shooting common during Mussolini's reign, as well as the influential "montage"-style editing pioneered by Sergei Eisenstein (with the "Odessa Steps" sequence of Battleship Potemkin as one of the more famous examples). Like Eisenstein, however, the Italian neo-realists did believe that by focusing on the oppressive circumstances of the poor and disenfranchised, film had the opportunity to make a significant social difference.
The transfer is, of course, excellently done; the black and white film looks beautifully stark on Blu-ray, and the sound is clear and crisp. By focusing on the side streets and open-air markets of Rome, with none of the familiar, touristy sites, such as the Coliseum, as well as choosing non-professional actors, Bicycle Thieves achieves a touching realism that resonates even 70 years later.
This is underscored by the aforementioned "respectful" treatment of the material, particularly within the included special features Criterion largely pioneered. Aside from the excellent digital transfer, the release also includes three documentaries. "Life as It Is", with Mark Shiel, serves to contextualize and historicize the neo-realist movement, and although I would have preferred some additional insights from other scholars, Shiel's intelligent and comprehensive knowledge are a definite asset.
"Working With De Sica" offers interviews with one of the film's screenwriters Suso Cecchi d'Amico, film scholar Callisto Cosulich, and Enzo Staiola (who played the boy Bruno in the film), as well as a feature-length documentary on screenwriter and frequent De Sica collaborator Cesare Zavattini -- who was truly a renaissance figure (writing, directing, and acting). In both "Working With De Sica" and the Zavattini features, all interviews, including Roberto Benigni, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Mario Bellocchio, are conducted in Italian. This makes a difference, in my view; by speaking in their native language (despite my inability to translate without subtitles), the interview subjects clearly convey their passionate enjoyment of both De Sica's and Zavattini's work. You don't need to translate for their meaning to come through, something that Criterion understands.
Also included is a booklet with the essay "A Passionate Commitment to the Real" by film critic Godfrey Chesire, which further contextualizes the film in what Chesire refers to as the "moment" of Italian neo-realism, rather than the "movement" (it was too short-lived for that, Chesire argues), as well as excerpts from Ladri di biciclette, a book of recollections produced by the Associazione Amici di Vittorio De Sica about the making of the film, as well as working with De Sica.
This attention to detail, to context, and to respectful treatment of a wide variety of material, is what sets Criterion apart. It allows the "poetry of daily life", as screenwriter Tonino Guerra called it, that characterizes both the neo-realist genre and Bicycle Thieves in particular, to shine through.

Could not find "Short"
Exotic, enchanting, a Sapphire-hued dream – bars across the country were transformed to guests' delight as key aesthetics of the Bombay Sapphire brand lived large in colour, texture, light and botanical illustrations. Each space was uniquely styled to create a mesmerising and immersive atmosphere and the drink's botanicals were realised in every element. Blue acrylic and subtle light accents mirrored the blue-and-white Iris flowers throughout. The florals evoked Iris Root, one of Bombay Sapphire's hand-selected botanicals, while the yellow of the Iris echoed the yellow the lemon served with the martini.

ENUMCLAW, Wash., Mar. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Growing up during World War II, Joan Thomas has vivid memories of the sacrifices she and other children had to make due to a scarcity of goods and money – especially during the holiday season. But just as vivid, Thomas says, are memories of the customs passed on by her Moravian parents which brought peace and comfort during what could have been a very difficult time.Drawing on Thomas' personal experience, "Mimi's Gift" is the tale of an eight-year old Moravian girl growing up during the turbulent years of World War II. With Christmas just eight days away, Mimi laments that she doesn't have the money to buy the new dress and winter coat she needs – much less a gift for the Christmas Eve offering at her church. Mimi's mother intervenes and shares family history through the items contained in a mysterious trunk stored in the attic. This inspires Mimi to use her imagination and creativity to make a gift from the heart."Many children are asking the same questions about the Iraq War and the meaning of faith and Christmas that Mimi asked in 1943," says Thomas. "My mother used to say, 'Never be ashamed to give a gift you made. For when you act on faith, and give with love, you and the gift become one. Work follows faith.' It's a lesson I'll never forget."As a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Thomas says she wrote "Mimi's Gift" to pass to future generations her mother's teaching that "work follows faith" as well as to…• Share the colorful and poignant Moravian heritage, traditions and customs;• Promote the sharing of stories between generations; and• Encourage families to cherish and celebrate time together.Thomas is a liaison for the Moravian Northwest Fellowship as well as an avid collector of Moravian artifacts and a recognized speaker on the early Moravians. Her Moravian memories began in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where she was raised and attended the Moravian Church. Although not formally trained in art or music, Thomas decided to reinforce the message of "Mimi's Gift" of using what is available by illustrating the story and composing the song for the book herself.For a review copy or to schedule and interview, please contact Adam Cothes.

The Soy YT Series Saucepans are among our most used products, being our own reflection of the ideal Saucepot, from thick Solid Copper to ensure even heat distribution, finely hammered until the smallest edge, giving the product extreme hardness, with no dead angles thanks to round corners.
Handles are of our own patented alloy of Sand-Cast Solid Bronze, painstakingly filed by hand by our artisans that come from Jeweler backgrounds, and will basically last a lifetime.
They are mounted on the main body with 6 rivets each made of Solid White Copper and are extremely sturdy, but easily removable by us if maintenance is needed.
The alloy of bronze we use is made in-house from our own scrap that we recycle, and unlike our Western-European counterparts, who mostly use a very conductive alloy of brass or aluminum bronze, ours remains a very hard and refractive alloy.
The YT6 and YT10 are "mini" products that are for table service and individual cooking.
- Lids available for a difference, -1.5mm - handmade & gorgeous- please inquire.

The title of this entry was inspired by a common theme I saw over and over again on Facebook. I saw many of my friends promoting the new George Lucas film "Red Tails" (inspired by the Tuskegee Airmen), and many of them were complaining (in advance) that blacks would prefer to pay to see "a man in drag" (Madea movies) instead of films that portrayed blacks in more empowering roles.
A lot of the talk also has to do with the most recent George Lucas interview where he states that Hollywood refused to back the film so he paid 58 Million dollars (of his own money) to bring it to fruition.
Even if this isn't "your type" of film, I encourage you to support it. In my opinion, it is important that we support films that showcase "our" history. Otherwise, very important aspects of our culture as well as the legacies of our black heroes may be lost. RED TAILS hits theaters on January 20th, 2012. Check out the Behind The Scenes footage and George Lucas interview here:
