BWC Investigations Result in 11 Workers' Comp Fraud Convictions in June
Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) Administrator/CEO Stephen Buehrer today announced 11 individuals were convicted of or pleaded guilty to charges related to defrauding Ohio's workers' compensation system during the month of June. The court actions are the result of investigations conducted by BWC's Special Investigations Department (SID), which works to deter, detect, investigate, and prosecute workers' compensation fraud.
"Our Special Investigations Department continues to do an outstanding job of catching up to these fraudsters and holding them accountable for their actions," said Buehrer. "Our hope is that by highlighting these actions in the media and through our newly launched Special Investigations Facebook page, we can deter those who would defraud Ohio's injured workers and businesses."
Earlier this week, BWC launched a Special Investigations Facebook page that can be found at www.facebook.com/ohiobwcfraud. It includes news on recent investigatory action, a most-wanted section and a link to report fraud.
Following is a sampling of cases that resulted in a guilty plea or conviction during the month of June.
Sharlyn Adams (Cincinnati, Hamilton County) pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of workers' compensation fraud for working while receiving benefits. Investigators found that Adams had returned to work while receiving Temporary Total Disability benefits for performing the same type of work she was performing at the time of her industrial injury. While collecting disability, Adams was working for the Catholic Residential Services Nursing Home. Adams was sentenced to 180 days in jail suspended and she was placed on probation for five years. She was also ordered to pay restitution of $3,661.29 and an additional $1,000 for investigative costs.
William Burchfield (Lancaster, Fairfield County) was sentenced for workers' compensation fraud for operating without coverage. Burchfield, owner of Elite Sewer and Septic, allowed his policy to lapse in 2007 and failed to have it reinstated even after attempts by BWC agents to assist him in returning to compliance. A judge found Burchfield guilty on June 27 and ordered him to pay restitution to BWC in the amount of $300 per month beginning July 28. The judge also ordered five years probation, a suspended jail sentence of 90 days, and ordered him to pay $100 in fines and $95 in court costs.
James Goloversic (Cincinnati, Hamilton County) pleaded guilty to workers' compensation fraud and two counts of deception to obtain a dangerous drug for using multiple doctors and multiple pharmacies to obtain narcotics. An investigation found Goloversic was obtaining prescriptions from physicians who were not aware he was seeking narcotics from other physicians. Goloversic utilized multiple pharmacies in order to conceal his deception. Goloversic was sentenced June 28 to three years of community control and ordered to pay court costs. The court further ordered that Goloversic must consult only his treating physician if he wishes to seek any narcotic for pain. If he violates the conditions of his community control, he will serve three and a half years in prison.
James Hale (Kenton, Hardin County), owner of Jimmy's Pizza, was sentenced for operating his business without a workers' compensation policy. Hale failed to obtain a policy even after BWC agents advised him of his obligation to do so. On June 2, 2011, Hale pleaded guilty to one count of failure to comply, a second degree misdemeanor. He was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,980.67, in addition to a $200 fine. Hale was also sentenced to 90 days jail suspended, one year probation, and was ordered to remain in compliance with all BWC laws and regulations.
April Hupp (Norwalk, Huron County) pleaded guilty to one count of workers' compensation fraud for working while receiving benefits. SID received an allegation from an employer who received an anonymous tip that Hupp was operating a cleaning business and was babysitting. Investigators found Hupp was employed as a house cleaner and babysitter while receiving Temporary Total Disability benefits. She was ordered to pay restitution of $5,973.51, sentenced to 11 months in prison, suspended, and placed on three years of probation. She was also ordered to obtain employment and perform 40 hours of community service.
Bradford Pirigyi (Warren, Trumbull County) pleaded guilty to four counts of deception to obtain dangerous drugs, all felonies of the fifth degree. SID opened an investigation when Pirigyi filed a claim against an employer BWC was not able to locate and BWC received a request from a doctor for approval to conduct an MRI for an injury unrelated to a Pirigyi's allowed claim. The doctor's office indicated Pirigyi advised them that his claim was for a separate injury he sustained while employed with a construction company. Investigators found Pirigyi sought treatment at several different hospitals and doctor's offices, and attempted to file workers' compensation claims against businesses that did not exist in order to obtain prescription narcotics. Pirigyi asked for narcotic pain medication during some of the visits. Each claim and the bills related to those claims were denied by the BWC. Sentencing is not yet scheduled.
Jeffrey D. Volz (Buckeye Lake, Licking County) entered a guilty plea to one count of workers' compensation fraud for working while receiving benefits. SID opened an investigation into Volz after receiving an allegation from TS Tech, Inc. that Volz was working while receiving Temporary Total Disability benefits. An investigation confirmed that Volz was employed by Teleperformance, Acloche and Work Force Network and knowingly concealed his return to work so that he would continue to receive those benefits. Volz appeared in court with a certified check in the amount of $5,623.98 to cover restitution. The judge sentenced Volz to a term of three months of suspended incarceration and he must pay $700 for investigative costs. The incarceration sentence will be imposed if does not pay within six months.

You Don't Need to Be Perfect/
About a week ago, a friend and I discussed our flaws, or areas of opportunities I prefer to say, over lunch. The conversation went deeper. Usually, when topics related to self and human behavior comes up I tend to dig into the "why" and sometimes the psychoanalysis of things. I'm thankful to have friends that are willing to go there with me.
In this particular conversation, we discussed a person's desire to be perfect at something to feel worthy and or be successful. We know that not to be true. But when you allow someone to make you feel inferior, the illusion that they are superior can infiltrate your mind and spirit. Understand and believe that no one is flawless and we all are imperfect in some capacity.
You don't need to be perfect you just need to be you. Be your perfectly imperfect self. Everyone is unique and no two people are the same. You may compliment each and have similar beliefs and morals, but your individual design is what makes you special.
Don't allow anyone to make you feel bad about yourself because your weakness is their strength. Realize, they have a weakness that is your strength rather or not it's been exposed. Use your strengths to turn your weaknesses into a testimony. Share your success story with others to let them know that your imperfect self was successful at loving you for you, while becoming a better you.
Do the things you do well great.
You don't have to be perfect to have a big dream. You just need to be willing to "do". Do what it takes to make it happen. No matter the scars on your body, the bruises in your heart, or the torment to your mind, just do. There are many of us who have been scarred from life's journey. Some of those scars have been self-inflicted due to lack of wisdom or self-discipline. Understand that the scars we got are reminders of the battles we've fought and the failures we've learned from . Recognize those things and allow them to fuel the fire inside of you for the good.
Use that fire to propel you forward to surpass your goals and become the superstar you want to be. You are a superstar. You are made perfect to do what you need to do in life in to have what you want out of life. Make decisions based on your life and not what anyone else is saying about the perfectly imperfect you.
Believe in you, love you, and become your biggest fan.
Shared over a cup of tea,
...From My Thoughts to Yours, Jamara

With Moon Patrol being this week's Retro Arcade Art pick. Christopher Tupa has once again chosen a game from William's Electronics. Already with the artist's new art project we have covered the likes of Sinistar and Inferno from William's. Moon Patrol is an arcade classic and one that I might add I covered in the very first episode of the Diary of an Arcade Employee podcast.
There is so much to love about Moon Patrol. It's sci-fi setting of course is a great place to start. I can certainly tell you how impressed I was the first time I stepped up to the machine. Seconds later I found myself cruising in my moon buggy across the lunar surface. In an attempt to reach check points before the timer has reached zero. Doing my best all the while to leap craters in the moon and boulders strewn about the landscape.
Or of course you can just blast those rocky formations with the cannons on the front of the moon buggy.
However when playing Moon Patrol the player has to keep an eye on the skies as well. Because that is where the enemy space ships will show up. Harrying the Player with bombs from above. Thankfully your roof mounted cannon can blow them out of the sky if your shot connects.
This swarming tactic is indeed deadly. Not that the alien ships will actually swoop down low enough to crash into your moon buggy. They do not need to do so as in fact the Tri-Orb crafts hurls missiles in front of you. These blast open new craters in front of your moon buggy!
Moon Patrol's rules are very easy to pick up. Mastering the game however is a totally different ball of wax. Or perhaps moon cheese in this case? While blasting or leaping over the boulders takes a steady eye…what do you do when you find yourself caught in an avalanche?
While the Player is racing across the lunar surface they must also beware of carnivorous plants. They lay in wait at the bottom of certain craters and will reach up to snatch your moon buggy. You can blast them with a shot from your front mounted cannon but must still deal with crater. Furthermore on certain stages you must contend with rocket cars who will smash into you from behind.
Now then, that is a lot to take in. I realize this but if you are going to play Moon Patrol there is more. Players must also try to nimbly jump over patches of mines.
As well as the sentient tank sentries left on the course in some stages. While, the good news is they are stationary. The shells they shoot at your moon buggy will stop your own shot so you have to quickly fire off another to blast the tank.
Now then, you know a little of Moon Patrol, so why not watch it in action?

Banner Time for Eldorado in Quebec
2017 / 10 / 22
The Eldorado 17UG HP team is made up of athletes from multiple different programs including previous Mavs HP programs, Comp programs, Fusion programs and from the Griffons in Quebec. In a very short period of time this group has had to learn a lot about each other and the sport.
Sunday, October 22 was the first real benchmarking opportunity for the girls to see where they stood and learn more about their strengths and weaknesses in competition. Well ... it didn't exactly start off so good. The first 3 points of their season included: Missed Serve, Opponent Ace, Shank (Opponent Ace). After a timeout (which turned out to be the fastest timeout in Coach Matt's tenure as a Head Coach... 13 years), the team composed themselves and began to slowly find a rhythm. Although they didn't play extremely well, they started to identify areas that needed more attention and applied their training to date to make corrections. The result was a 2-0 win in their first match. Match number 2 was a similar beginning as the girls got off to a rocky start, but slowly became a more effective group and raised the bar yet again. The communication and chemistry was starting to show and they pulled away from their opponents for another 2-0 win.
Match number three was the only real "great start" they had all morning which lead to a very easy victory over an opponent who is typically difficult in Les Aigles de Jean-Eaudes. However, after securing a first place position in the pool the team let the second set slip in a tight contest. In spite of dropping the set, the team had learned another valuable lesson about themselves and continued to develop as the competition went forward.
With the tournament cut in half and the top 8 teams remaining, our girls were issued a #2 overall playoff seeding based on a remarkable 1.515 point ratio. They drew a very athletic and talented Géants squad that had size as well. The first set got off to another very rocky start with the Géants taking an 8-2 lead. After a timeout the team recognized a few areas of improvement and applied the solution in game. The remainder of the first set was absolutely dominated by our team as they went on to win 25-14 (23-6 run). The second set was anything but easy. The Géants pushed and pushed until we found ourselves into extra points where a few amazing plays by our girls lead to a 28-26 win and they advanced to the semi-finals.
The semi-final saw the Eldorado facing a very experience, tall and talented Titans team. The first set was a back and forth affair with constant shifts in momentum throughout. Every point was contested and the level of play was excellent for an early season event. This set, similarly to the final set of the quarters, went into extra points. Unfortunately the Eldorado serve receive simply couldn't connect in the final moments and we dropped the first set 28-30. The second set was a different story. Having our athletes sharing court time all day and keeping everyone fresh (along with some serve receive adjustments) made all the difference. From the first point the girls simply dominated in the second set playing some great defence and shutting down their opponent to level the match at 1-1 with a 25-16 victory. The third set brought another opportunity for our girls to learn about themselves. This was their first decisive set played as a team and they could see how they would respond. Well (spoiler alert) they seized the moment and never looked back from that point on. They finished off the Titans and then took that momentum into the final against the host Citadins, and absolutely crushed them. Literally and figuratively. Bombs from everyone, digs all over the place, and a competitive fire that would not be stopped. The final finished 25-16, 25-20 which meant that the Eldorado were the Juvenile Feminin AA Champions. Thats correct Juvenile meaning 18U.
Needless to say the team had a great day, but most importantly took back with them the lessons learned on court that will allow them to continue to develop and improve as we move into the OVA Tour Season.
Next Stop: Oshawa, ON for the OVA 17U Girls Provincial Cup - Championship C

Readers of this blog and those who know me know I like to give a lot of advice. Particularly surrounding the University and Job Hunt experiences. This week I was honored when one of my answers on Quora got published on the Huffington Post! My first, hopefully of many, real blog mentions.
So, I thought I would give you the text of it here as well. You can find the original post here.
This question originally appeared on Quora.
Answer by Chelsea Hunersen, Community Manager, Aspiring Growth Hacker, Proud Michigan Wolverine
I was a tour guide in undergrad, and a resident adviser, so my advice was always a bit more student centered than the professional advice "grown ups" would give.
Usually, I ended every tour by saying something to the effect of:
I've just spent an hour and a half showing you the campus of my favorite school in the world, but if its not for you, that's OK. I promise I'm not offended. What I hope that everyone does when they get to school, is take the opportunity to get involved.
No one will come looking for you, in college it's up to YOU to get involved.
Pick some clubs to join, if for no other reason than meeting people and having something to do. You might even learn something new and now you can.
Leave your door open in your residence hall; it's one of the best ways to meet people and show you're open for new friendships.
Better yet, walk into open doors you see on your hall, everyone is just as scared as you are and will be excited to make new friends!
Talk to your professors, they are great resources.
Just DO SOMETHING, it will go a long way to help you find your place in school.
My other advice comes from things I've observed of my friends:
1. Don't go home every weekend. This is tempting, especially if you live close, or you have a significant other at home, but you will make absolutely no friends this way, and you will be miserable, and want to go home. Force yourself to stick around campus as much as you can, you will be glad you did.
2. One of the biggest causes of roommate conflicts is a failure to communicate, especially at the beginning of the year. If you don't start early, it just gets harder and harder. I used to make all my residents complete a roommate contract discussing their expectations of each other involving guests, cleanliness, alarm clocks (trust me, this is a big one) etc. It may seem silly, but it will come in handy later!
3. Your best friends from high school DO NOT MAKE GOOD ROOMMATES. I'm serious about this one. Some of the biggest conflicts I've seen is people in high school who think their HS BFF will make a perfect freshman year roommate, but people change in college, grow apart, and need to be able to do that. They also probably have a lot of weird living habits you don't know about yet.
Often times this can lead to higher expectations, deeper-seeded conflict, hurt feelings, and even loss of a friend. Then you can't talk to your HS BFF about it later. Living with a friend is much different than hanging with them. I would actually suggest trying to spend some time away from your high school friends, start with a clean slate for a roommate. Worst that happens you never talk to that roommate again, but it's the only way to gain the new perspective that college is all about.
4. Don't spend your entire college experience in the library and/or isolated with a significant other and/or in a major you hate. This actually comes from my mom, who did this, and hated her college experience and begged me not to attend her school. Turns out I did attend the same college and LOVED it, because I got involved.
5. You will probably not end college doing the same thing you think you will do when you start. This is more than likely because when you start college, all you really know is law, medicine, and business, but there are so many more great options, so don't be afraid to explore them and to change your mind!
6. YOUR RA IS NOT OUT TO GET YOU. Seriously, we're students too, and writing you up just means hours of unwanted paperwork for us on a Saturday night. We hate doing it. But we will if we have to, because it's our job, and because we want you to be safe. Conversely, 99% of the time you're not getting away with something because your RA has no idea you're doing it; we've been around the block and we're smarter than you think we are. We're just also cooler than you think we are, and we want you to think so too.
RAs become RAs because they want to help and are often times pretty cool people selected for their people skills. These are great people to have in your lives.
One of the best ways to learn about college is to experience it, talk to people who are currently there and see what they think. It's the most remarkable four years of your life, and you'll never get it back.

Fresh Comedy In Soho To Banish Your New Year Blues
One way of shaking off the post-Christmas funk is a bit of the silly stuff. And Soho Theatre has two acts we like — both using the same space upstairs but to very different ends. Bec Hill presents charming stand-up while extreme sketch specialists Beasts pull themselves apart for your delight. Somehow together they make a nice double bill — but catch them quick, they're only on until Saturday.
Beasts – Solo
Londonist Rating: ★★★★☆
Those that think comedy is meant to have a happy ending should watch the sorry story that sketch group Beasts are telling this week. The debris of various substances left on the stage at the finale is testament to a show that climaxes in utter chaos. Though it is organised comedy chaos: Solo has shades of theatrical farce, with pacing like a wind-up toy, where each turn of the key promises yet more frenzied release later on.
The trio of Ciarán Dowd, James McNicholas and Owen Roberts use one sketch to introduce their artistic differences before they each then try to perform their solo shows, which soon descends into an hour of boisterous three-way sabotage.
Smart attention has been paid to the costumes which help announce the different characters and routines. Dowd's linen jacket, open shirt and scarf nicely accentuate the personality and body he so adamantly wants to flaunt in the burlesque performance he has planned. McNicholas's take on a magician's outfit with cape, shorts and cycle helmet has favourable crapness. And the control freakery of Roberts's earnest playwright is neatly rolled into his mustard polo-neck jumper.
Not that any of them end up wearing much (Arsenal fans will find themselves with a very different mental image of McNicholas when they next dip into the Gunnerblog and Podcast to which he also contributes).
The show is also another success for mentor and director Tom Parry (of Pappy's), and he will surely approve of laughs peppered with groans as well as the shocked guffaws provoked by the no-holds-barred flesh-jingling ending.
Beasts: Solo is on at the Soho Theatre Upstairs until Saturday 10 January at 8.30pm. Tickets are £10 - £12.50
Bec Hill — Ellipsis
Londonist Rating: ★★★☆☆
They say you should never meet your heroes and for Bec Hill the memory of accosting her teenage idol constitutes a particularly prolonged cringe, involving as it does a dubious drunken boast about her "award-winning" comedy.
Evidently Henry Cavill's abdomen of steel hasn't won her over, for her meeting was with mid-90s TV superman Dean Cain. (Describing him as a "celebrity bigger than the Queen", she sounds a little like a Bond fan interuppting a Connery Vs Moore debate by shouting "Lazenby").
Now she's back at the scene of her crime, for the Soho Theatre bar was where last year Hill's enthusiastic efforts to impress Cain ended in drunken shouts of praise (and a bit about the "wheelchair guy") as her hero left the bar faster than a speeding bullet. "Turns out drunk Bec is a bit of a dick," she says.
Bec Hill is not a dick: she's charming and engaging and has enough talent to turn an embarrassing boozy moment into an imaginative show. Ellipsis, with its endearing home-made props and piss-take of common comedic tropes, triumphed at last year's Edinburgh Fringe and now comes to the venue where the inspiration for it was born (in such inauspicious circumstances). And surely that round-trip trumps the empty validation of some token comedy awards?
Hill is a bit nervy in her delivery on this evening: she allows a slightly awkward audience to interrupt her flow and it takes time for her show to warm up. But once she's rolling and dancing from one stand-up style to another in the show's quest to turn her deceit about winning an award into reality, her inventiveness and range are apparent.
An adept performer, we look forward to seeing Bec Hill again and hope she can cut the cord on her moments of self-doubt – just as she does in Ellipsis. She'd no doubt make for an admirable Lois Lane.
Ellipsis is on at the Soho Theatre Upstairs until Saturday 10 January at 7pm. Tickets are £10 - £12.50
Londonist saw both shows on a complimentary ticket.

Almizclero Siberiano (Sp), Siberischer Moschustier (G), Porte Musc de Siberie (F).
DESCRIPTION A large species, standing 22-24 inches (56-61 cm) or more at the shoulder. The coat is longer, softer and finer than in the Himalayan musk deer. Coloration is dark grayish-brown above, lightening to tawny below, with more or less distinctly marked spots or stripes on the back, sides and hindquarters. There are two white stripes down the throat. Juveniles have a complex pattern of stripes and spots. Individual hairs on the upper body are whitish for the basal two-thirds of their length, becoming brownish-gray above with blackish-brown tips. The legs are longer than in other musk deer, and the metacarpal and metatarsal (foot) bones are much longer.
DISTRIBUTION Much of Siberia including the island of Sakhalin, northern Mongolia, northeastern China, and Korea.
TAXONOMIC NOTES Ohtaishi & Gao list four subspecies of Siberian musk deer: sachalinensis, moschiferus, parvipes, and anhuiensis. The last was described as a new subspecies by Wang, et al. in 1982; however, it should be noted that Groves & Feng (1986) disagree, believing instead that it is a subspecies of forest musk deer.

Four members of a Washington state family missing since Tuesday have been found walking near a store in Mason County, about 55 miles southwest of Seattle.
The sheriff's office in neighboring Grays Harbor County, where the family lives, said Thursday morning that it didn't immediately have details of the family's condition, beyond that they're alive. Deputies were on their way to the meet them.
Steve Shumate, chief criminal deputy with the sheriff's office says Jason and Melissa McAlister and two of their children, ages 8 months and 2 years, appear to have left home to take a drive Tuesday while their older two children were at school. They didn't return as expected Tuesday afternoon to meet the older children at the bus stop.
They were found near a general store in Matlock, Washington.

Authorities in Battambang province's Phnom Proek district are searching for a monk accused of attacking and raping a 15-year-old girl in his room at a pagoda on Monday.
District deputy military police chief Om Chanthorn said the monk, 18-year-old Ti Kongkea, who lived at the Kiri Sangva Pich pagoda, had fled the area, but confirmed that authorities had launched a search.
"We know the home town of the suspect, and we have contacted officials there in order for an arrest to be made," the military police chief said.
Pichr Chenda commune police chief Chea Chhy said the suspect had asked the victim to bring a glass of orange juice to his room at the pagoda on Monday afternoon.
"The suspect choked the victim's neck until she was unconscious, he raped her and fled the scene," the commune police chief said.
He added that the victim was believed to have been unconscious for about five hours after she was raped.
"The suspect and the victim have known each other because the victim's house is near the pagoda," Chea Chhy said.
Om Chanthorn estimated there had been fewer than 10 rapes in the district this year.

Given the fame of the so-called Glasgow Kiss, (having your head banged by someone else's, I believe), the heading for this post might initially be read as a euphemism for some other nasty habit thought to be associated with the inhabitants of the UK's third largest city. Far from it. In fact, part of the reason for the heading is our surprise at the friendliness and good nature we experienced in every encounter we had with people in Glasgow.
We were also surprised by the architecture, which was full of traces of a former era:
a time when, if you were going to put lettering or signage on a building, you didn't make it out of anything tacky but carved it or painted it beautifully.
Our first day (see earlier post) was spent mainly visiting the Kelvingrove and being thwarted in attempts to visit other museums. On the second day of our stay in Glasgow, we went to the Tenement House, which is a flat that a spinster dressmaker lived in; after her death it was given, lock, stock and barrel to the National Trust of Scotland.
On the way there, I rather admired this house, which struck me as a good size and beautifully proportioned:
The Tenement House was worth the visit. A woman who reminded me of one of my more forceful aunts answered the door. Her very strong accent delighted me, making even the bossiest things she said music to my ears:
I took a picture of one of Miss Toward's patterns, as I like sewing and I had some remote idea that I might one day give it a try (of course, like so many other things I imagine I am going to get around to, I almost certainly never will):
It remains to be seen whether I will ever try to play the music propped on Miss Toward's piano in the Tenement House museum, (although that is my distant plan and the reason I took the photograph):
After the Tenement House we walked on into the city centre:
The exterior of Sloans, it seemed to me, would fit right in in the Rocks in Sydney:
this on it. You can find out more here. When I took the photograph, I was under the impression I was looking at an early Quaker, but no, as it turns out, a financier with a friendly facade.
We also passed this statue:
Neither of us especially liked it, but we wondered whether it had anything to do with the most famous John Kennedy. The Scotland guide provides some information but does not mention if there is a connection.

Financing your invention/concept
4 May 2008
This afternoon's topic is funding… we've got Scott McFarland, recently CEO of Awarix which was sold to McKesson, talking first. Some of his comments:
- Tech Revenue Models impact to cash with highest impact listed first
- License revenue (primary fee)
- Professional services (i.e. installation/integration fees)
- Recurring or subscription revenue (i.e. maintenance fees)
- Transaction payment (i.e. hardware at cost plus)
- Order of funding vehicles
- Angel investments
- Venture Capital
- Debt
- Things to consider…
- Liquidation preference (1x, 2x…)
- Board seats and observation rights
- Full and partial ratchets
- Dilution
- Weighing the decision…
- Slower growth
- Preserve capital and equity
- More predictable
- Faster growth
- Reduces competitive risk
- Smaller piece of a bigger pie
- Land grab / First to market
- Slower growth
After Scott's presentation, I will run through several slides in the following slide deck I created a year ago for a presentation at Jacksonville State University. Don't use the email at the end of the presentation b/c I'm not there anymore <smile>. The punch line is in the section of the deck that starts with "my way" (#33-37) to financing the comany… (hint) it means passing on venture capital funding for as long as you can avoid it.

1C:Enterprise 8 Mobile platform v. 184.108.40.206
- device model
- Android - full version
- methods you used to upload and install the mobile platform to the device
I downloaded the demo: https://1c-dn.com/files/updates/1c_enterprise_8_mobile_platform/8_3_11_57/com.e1c.Demo.en-arm.apk
- steps to reproduce the issue on the device
1. load the above apk on an ARM device with 7.1.1 Android version
2. install the apk
3.try to run the application. It will crash on the loading screen with no error.
- screenshot of the error message
no screenshot available because it crashes on open
Dear Constantinos Anastasiou,
Thank you for the information you provided.
The demo app you mentioned is a pre-built mobile application that includes 1C:Enterprise mobile platform and demonstration functionality.
Let's first check whether the pure mobile platform works on your mobile device.
To do this, please perform the following steps:
1. Download mobile.zip (https://1c-dn.com/files/updates/1c_enterprise_8_mobile_platform/8_3_11_57/mobile.zip) to your computer.
2. Extract it to a folder.
3. Copy the Android\1cem-arm.apk file to your mobile device.
4. Install the apk file on your mobile device.
5. On your mobile device, run the installed application ("1C:Enterprise").
6. Let us know the results.
Best regards,
Vladimir Gurov
Dear Vladimir,
I followed your instructions and installed the pure mobile application platform (184.108.40.206).
Unfortunately the behaviour is the same. The platform shows the white screen with the different symbols (star,paper clip,light bulb etc) and it crashes with no error.
We had a similar issue some time ago with mobile platform 8.3.4 that also crashed on android 6.0 and later.
Dear Constantinos Anastasiou,
We tested 1C:Enterprise mobile platform 18.104.22.168 on Android 7.1.1 and the tests passed.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the version of 1C:Enterprise mobile platform runs on each mobile device running on Android 7.1.1. This is because the device vendor can change the operating system in a way that does not allow 1C:Enterprise mobile platform to run on the device.
The device model you mentioned (PAD-HGN) is unknown to us, and we found no information about it.
To let us investigate the issue at least remotely, please send us:
- a screenshot displaying the full info on the device (including Android version number, which we already know)
- a video how you run 1C:Enterprise mobile platform on the device and what happens then
- a web resource that confirms that the device model uses an ARM processor (if you are not sure this processor family is used in the device, install the Android\1cem-x86.apk file (from mobile.zip) to the device)
Best regards,
Vladimir Gurov
Dear Vladimir,
i have gathered the information you requested.
I am sending a dropbox link that contains
it contains:
a picture of the tablet
the android version details in settings
a video of the crash
Additionally i have managed to get a logcat file at the time of the crash. The
application was run and crashed 2 times after 16:29:00.
I can also confirm that the architecture is ARM (i used the CPU-Z app) to confirm it. the X86 version cannot be installed.
Dear Vladimir,
Any news on this?
have you seen the logs?
Dear Constantinos Anastasiou,
We have investigated the logs you sent us. Now we are preparing a fix for the issue encountered and once it is ready we will provide you with an updated version for testing purposes.
Best regards,
Vladimir Gurov
Thank you very much Vladimir
I will be waiting for the fix.
Dear Constantinos Anastasiou,
We released 1C:Enterprise Mobile Platform 220.127.116.11 with a fix for your issue.
Please test it on your device as follows:
1. Download mobile.zip (http://1c-dn.com/files/updates/1c_enterprise_8_mobile_platform/8_3_11_59/mobile.zip) to your computer.
2. Extract it to a folder.
3. Copy the Android\1cem-arm.apk file to your mobile device.
4. Install the apk file on your mobile device.
5. On your mobile device, run the installed application ("1C:Enterprise").
6. Let us know the results.
Best regards,
Vladimir Gurov

I hope you're having a good Monday! I spent last week at Kripalu assisting at the second annual narrative medicine conference, which was wonderful!
At the heart of the conference was the insight that the stories we tell have the power to heal—and also to harm—us.
This was so exciting to me, because the whole week helped me flesh out many of the ideas that I've been coming to these past years, but that are rarely articulated.
The stories that we tell and our imaginative life are not disconnected from our bodies. Quite the opposite! The stories that we tell and the way we see and imagine ourselves and our world, directly affect how we feel—both individually and socially.
I'll give you two snippets of research that I loved learning about:
This week we were also lucky to hear from a truly dynamic, inspirational Minister, Dr Jacqui Lewis, who reminded us that racism is itself a story—or rather, a lie. And yet, that social "story" affects the health of millions of Americans (almost all health indices are lower for blacks in America than for whites). And so, through the power of the stories we tell, we can literally affect the health and wellbeing of individuals and of society.
Similarly, the stories we tell about, for example, plastic or non organic fertilizers or about our past or our future also affect our health.
Our stories matter, and they are all interconnected.
I'd love to connect with you and hear how the stories you tell—or don't tell—affect your body and your world.
And I'd love to work with you.
Because a number of people asked me to join my online course Align Your Story this summer, I have a new policy in which you get immediate access to the whole course when you sign up, and then we will have weekly conference calls starting in the early fall.
The course walks you through lessons to get comfortable with and trust your own voice, learn from great writers, and connect mind and body through yoga and meditation—which are taught through video and audio recordings.
You can see more here (I've updated and redesigned the page—check it out!).
If you sign up now, there is a 20% early bird special. And if you sign up with a friend you each get an extra 15 % discount.

Numerical systems, Morse code, and strange displays along the way. And then there was another stage. A small electronic senso-like game. What a big fun. Take a look at the short video as laguna.sam solved it with inhuman precision.
And 3 trackables inside ready for us to swap. One of them was not really welcome for laguna.sam. But it tried so hard to be nice :)
Oh come on, that little spider really want to cuddle a little :p
That was definitely a great multicache.
The owner sure has some skills in electronic. Big fun.

Praise Reports From our Encouraging Men:
My God, I have had experiences that become more intense, but the Lord has been with me. Though this week was very hard, my God has held me in His hands for several days, and when I was distressed, I always asked for the Lord to send me a word, and He always answered me. Today He led me to read Name Them [Blessings] One by One and it was so appropriate since I am not with my family this Thanksgiving for the first time in many years.
Sometimes, this week as everyone was speaking of their plans, He would encourage me through a song or even a verse He'd lead me to read in the bible. The Lord is wonderful, and if not for His defense and encouraging me, I think today I would have given up this fight since every day is coming at me stronger, but I know God is in control, and that in His time He will act in my favor.
I often find myself afraid to continue because of how very difficult this journey is, but if I keep myself in obedience I can be sure that God will not fail nor forsake me.
God my refuge and my fortress, without the Lord I am nothing. So I beg You my Lord, teach me, and lend Your ear to my plea and continue to meet my every desire, which is the desire to continue with something that the Lord has greater interest, and the Lord cherishes, and what I believe I should do. Here I am! I am confident in You in this battle. And no matter what, I have my Lord, and every day I am clinging to You, to tell You that I trust only You, my Lord.
So I speak in faith and I continue, both in this life-changing course and mainly in the Word, seeking His guidance and love of God more and more daily. And with unshakable certainty, faith that everything God said He will restore and give me back what is His to return to me.
So brother just believe, do not doubt. Thank God for everything, and simply begin to rest in His arms. Only then will you be sure of victory, and of His plans for your life.
Oh how I love my God, I praise You and magnify You Lord.
Genesis 18:14 "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"
Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen and help you, and you keep with my righteous right hand."
Psalm 23: 4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you this to me; acts rod and thy staff they comfort me."
Jeremiah 18: 6 "Can not I do with you as a potter, O house of Israel? … Behold, like clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel."
~ Lucas
Good afternoon. This is the first time I write a report. In fact, I already finished the course at the end of the 30 days and also the 2nd course too. I do not know why I was touched to submit a praise report, since today, once again, my wife, did something so low that I will not share the details. But God has been very gracious to me. My financial situation was desperate 6 months ago. I was even threatened with a death threat by a moneylender. Today, to the honor and glory of God, I can already see I will be paying all my bills! And even more beautiful, I believe I was used by God to teach a young man, who was heavily into alcohol and soon after his wedding, the world had destroyed. Today this man is taking his wife to church and says he wants to change his life.
"And I said you told him, have heard your prayer and your supplication you made before me; hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name forever; my eyes and my heart will be there every day." 1 Kings 9: 3
~ Herbert
Job 6:8 "Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for"
"Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant my desire" "Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfill my hope."
When I saw this verse it was something that caught my attention because it is something that I really wanted God to do and He has. While I was on the internet researching how to fight for what I believe God can solve, my marriage, I came across this site. I downloaded the book (only it was the women's), read a few pages and stopped …then I continued to do as before (fasting, prayer and reading His Word) but something did not satisfy me.
Then one day, I almost gave up this journey (restore my marriage, and my relationship with God), but I returned to search the internet, and asked Him one last time, giving me some hope, and God directs me straight again to the site! Right there right away I see the same book but this time, the one for men (though I was unable to purchase; I wanted to be able to buy them, How God Can and Will … and A Wise Man, but I don't have a credit card) but then I see something— I found the free courses, Oh my goodness !! I was so happy because as I read everything. Right there I see everything I believed was not in vain and that God will, yes He will restore all that is rightfully mine!!
And there I saw the true meaning of the verse: Matthew 19:26 "For men it IS impossible, but withGod all things are possible" It was as if God said directly to me, "I want you to do this."
Oh, how I praise God for His greatness, to be my mine and for always keeping me close to Him every day, for showing me how much I am nothing without Him, He has molded me every day, because He is merciful, for always being near me, inclining His heart to my prayers. Since this knowledge I've learned, I have been recognizing and admitting my mistakes. I thank God for the intimacy that I have every day, more and more with Him.
My God and my Father, I love You more than anything in my life, I have been given the love I need more and more, from You. I know that you've been reserving the best for me and that one day You will fulfill the desire of my heart. This desert was designed to strengthen me and be every day closer to the Lord and You. And my victory is more than coming, it has happened. Amen.
~ Lucas in Brazil
I have learned a lot from this course and certainly believe the Lord Himself brought me here. Looking at the condition I'm in seems impossible, but I found the promises I receive each day I come to do these lessons a relief and comforting to my heart. I practice what I learn in the lessons while putting all my hope in the Lord, and as a result, I have been told by countless people how impressive the changes have been in me, even my children have said so, thanks to you.
These words have renewed me in a special way and given me hope and faith. So many of my friends say that they are witnesses of God's power in my life. The times I have not seen my wife not even remember her features is His blessing to protect my heart. My faith has been renewed and I feel confident of victory in Christ ….. Amen, peace and blessings to all of you on this journey.
"Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved and thy house." Acts 16:31
~ Eric in Brazil
I am grateful to my beautiful great God, exalted supreme, the only One worthy of praise and worship!!! He has given me this experience to pore over His truths!! He has provided the opportunity…For nothing I paid !!! All I'm feeling at this moment is that I am eternally grateful to this great God !!
"Delight yourself in the Lord and it will satisfy the desires of your heart." Psalms 37: 4

I give you another outfit post. With kinda bad pics. I did the best I could with the space available in my house share, giving that there are no full length mirrors (a crime!) and I would have fallen on my ass outside on the ice rink that is our street. Anyway, enough excuses, just take a look at what I wore to work:
Oh yes, I'm still headless, bwahahaha.
Unfortunately ripped a hole in these later on. I has a sad.
My favourite work shoes.
Dress: Dorothy Perkins, a bargainous £12 in the sale
Belt: Primark, 50p in sale
Tights: Accessorize, £4 in sale
Shoes: New Look £24.99 originally I think but I bought them while I worked there so 50% off. Huzzah!
I name this outfit, the bargain outfit!

You don't know what you would do until you're faced with doing it, and then after doing it faces you with what you did.
What you did:
Had your old roommate over on a Monday night. Last night. You called him Bean, his first name rubbed away, rubbed clean, smooth with the weight of the collective body of the Boys. Bean brought a case of Keith's from Kitchener, your parents in Ireland taking pictures of stone castles and frothy pints in pubs.
The backyard and the mosquitoes. The WI-FI- reached the pool shed. Bean started tagging the Boys in pictures through the years you lived together, pictures of the girls' house (and reluctantly, you suppose, the girls themselves) your faces open and unvarnished. The neighbours might have heard the insidious inside jokes, but maybe not.
You talked around talk, you talked around the way things ended, or didn't, the way the world fell off the edge of itself, tucked in its mirrors and disappeared. The night ended the same way.
You and Bean finished the case of Keith's.
You wake, your tongue a sunkilled slug, an ache for centuries throbbing in the fragile frame of your skull. Bean leaves to perform a seminar on the French part of the Indochina War for the grad program he loves to hate, still half cut taking the concession roads in the county. He'll earn an A.
You wobble on your old man's old bike to work, down the middle of the side street six blocks or so. The bike the one he bought thirty years ago in Regina, the one you'll wreck leaving Buffalo Wild Wings at the end of this summer, nearly plaster yourself in front of the freighters running perpendicular to the concerns of the condos and the cute coffee shops, the ones that render the place you knew a flytrap for commuters, the city you knew buried like cables that demand you call before you dig.
Lion's Park pool needs one guard. Used to need three. You are old for the job, the re-certification fitness tests tougher every two years, and the three or four grey hairs on your head a heady reminder.
You turn your key for the equipment room without locking the bike, you can see it through the fence anyway, can see the world you leave behind through that fence every day.
The sun especially cruel, the umbrella snapped, a compound fracture from the last good storm, the plastic splinters of the pole slivers of a femur.
Only one kid. The same. His mom drops him off and leaves, gives you the extra eye, all of it illegal, but since it's just you and since it's just him, and since you can't string sentences together in your condition, you hunker the concrete on what little shade the broken tower allows.
Bryce. Or Brock? Brody? Kid will be thirty, forty years old, and you still imagine him having the same rat tail then, giving PowerPoint presentations, and teaching someone how to ride a bike, tail full mast in soft summer wind.
This kid won't teach anyone anything.
You nod off, a hand running in the jet flow of the shallow end.
You are asleep when Bryce or Brock or Brody (or Michelangelo) gets his rat tail sucked into the gyre skimmer, on the slope between the shallow and the deep, between seeing himself five years later egging houses and stealing cigarettes from his step-dad and his picture on the mantle in his mom's townhouse, his school picture in the paper.
He fights, but his insistence is trapped in bubbles six inches from the surface while you work out the Keith's in the sun.
The brain can last, at best, three minutes without oxygen. The length of a song. That's not news to you; it's not even news to me: it's the in the NLS manual, scaring high school kids like it should. You read the line, on the third page of the waterlogged book you forgot at an ex-ex-ex-girlfriend's parent's house at the end of that first summer at Lion's Park, at the end of the beginning.
It's not the kid or the sun or an elderly couple on the bike path running by the edge of the fence that brings you around.
You wake up to throw up, like a dog farting itself into consciousness, and the quiet and the bubbles sends you into the shallow end before you remember your iPhone in your back pocket.
The kid won't come up right away and you don't know how long he's been under, but you register the blue skin and the tranquility and think maybe you're too late and yes, in the second of weakness (or strength), you think to leave him under—does his mom want him hooked to tubes and drooling through the next pocketful of decades?
Your body starts yanking him, you turn him on several angles, like the couch you moved back into your childhood bedroom, the one Bean pissed on last night.
The rat tail finally separates from the kid's skull, leaving feathery whispers of blood in the clean water you clean diligently, you pride yourself to backwash, to vacuum.
You could've turned the pump off. The suction.
He sputters and his eyes are open. He doesn't throw up, didn't drink last night.
You don't ask him if he's alright.
It's awkward, the way you don't talk to him after, the way he scrambles up the steps to his Ironman towel.
The elderly couple only rounded the bend to see you pulling the kid with the rat-tail from the skimmer. All they saw.
When the city gives you an award a week later, and your face and the kid's face (he's working on a new rat tail) makes the news blog that used to be the city newspaper, you smile, you hold the pin and the plaque with your name but your head's still swimming, your mouth underwater with bubbles skyward, eyes facing everything you didn't do in the camera's lens.

Irish Minister of State for Higher Education, EC and OECD are launching a report on "Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Higher Education in Ireland"
Irish Higher Education Institutions are engines for economic development
Entrepreneurship and innovation in higher education are critical for driving business start-ups, knowledge transfer, internationalisation, engagement with society and entrepreneurial mind sets in the labour force. Irish Universities and Institutes of Technology offer many great examples of how to act entrepreneurially.
These examples are examined in the new report by the OECD and the European Commission on "Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Higher Education in Ireland", launched today [23rd October, 2017] by the Irish Minister of State for Higher Education, Mary Mitchell O'Connor, T.D., the Deputy Secretary General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Mari Kiviniemi and Antoaneta Angelova-Krasteva, Director for Innovation, International Cooperation and Sport in the Directorate-General for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport of the European Commission.
To support entrepreneurship and innovation, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need to be entrepreneurial and innovative themselves in how they organise education, research and engagement with business and the wider world. This requires introducing supportive frameworks at national and HEI level for resource allocations, staff incentives, training for entrepreneurship educators, strategic partnerships and so on.
The OECD/European Commission review conducted a comprehensive assessment of Irish HEIs including a detailed survey of all university and Institutes of Technology leaders and extensive study visits by an international review panel Universities and Institutes of Technology in Ireland.
The report shows that HEIs are playing a fundamental role in fostering entrepreneurial career paths for their students and staff. These activities are driven by senior management, usually by a combination of the vice-president for research and the heads of faculty.
Innovative approaches to teaching and learning, and greater synergies between the core functions – that is, education, research and engagement – are fundamental for success. Study visits to six HEIs – Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Limerick Institute of Technology, University of Limerick, University College of Cork, Dublin City University and Dundalk Institute of Technology – revealed several very successful practices that stimulate and reward leadership at all levels, and create proper support structures and incentives for staff and students. For example, a strong emphasis is placed on supporting teachers to teach entrepreneurship with continuous professional development activities supported by CEEN, the Campus Entrepreneurship Enterprise Network and the National Forum for the Enhancement for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education,
The report also identifies some areas for improvement:
Minister Mitchell O'Connor said:
"It's great to see that the HEInnovate country review highlights so much good practice in the Irish institutions visited, across a range of areas including entrepreneurship education, work placements, fostering entrepreneurial career paths for students and research."
"This report is a testament to the quality of the teaching in our Higher Education Institutions and the findings of the review will inform best practice in entrepreneurial education across Europe"
"It highlights the fact that engagement between institutions, employers, community and regional stakeholders is becoming increasingly important. Building bridges between all these stakeholders is a key goal in the Action Plan for Education."
"The findings and recommendations from the review will inform policy and in particular the new Entrepreneurship Education Policy Statement and the revised System Performance Framework for HEIs which we are currently working on."
The Deputy Secretary General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Mari Kiviniemi said:
"The Irish education system plays a fundamental role in developing an entrepreneurial mindset among students and staff. This combination of creativity, initiative, problem-solving, marshalling resources, and mastering technological and financial knowledge is what all of us need to succeed in any field."
"Students need incentives and support to engage with entrepreneurship. A recognition of what students learn in entrepreneurship courses is important. Diploma supplements on entrepreneurship competencies that graduates can show their future employers are a good example."
Antoaneta Angelova-Krasteva, Director for Innovation, International Cooperation and Sport of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education, Culture Youth and Sport
"We congratulate Ireland for its successful completion of the HEInnovate review process. HEInnovate is a key initiative in making Europe more innovative and entrepreneurial as it supports individual higher education institutions in their ongoing transformation to more entrepreneurial organisations. We believe that this positive experience will motivate other Member States to join this initiative. "

Star Wars co-star Mark Hamill took to Twitter simply writing: "No words #devastated".
Series creator George Lucas said she was "extremely smart; a talented actress, writer and comedienne with a very colourful personality that everyone loved".

Tasmania hosts Blue Ribbon Cup to honour fallen police officers
On Saturday 16 April, Tasmania hosted the 16th annual Blue Ribbon Cup match between St Kilda and Hawthorn at Launceston's Aurora Stadium.
The annual Blue Ribbon Cup has a special significance as it is a chance to remember police officers who have been killed in the line of duty, including the 30 police officers who since 1817 have died while on duty or died as a result of injuries sustained on duty.
The Cup is played in memory of two Victorian police officers, Senior Constable Rodney Miller and Sergeant Garry Silk, who were killed in the line of duty at Moorabbin in 1998. James Miller, the 18-year-old son of Senior Constable Rodney Miller, presented the Blue Ribbon Cup. He was only 7 weeks old when his father was killed.
The Tasmania Police Charity Trust were present at the event and organised a guard of honour for the players. The Commissioner of Tasmania Police, Darren Hine, and Victorian Deputy Commissioner, Wendy Steendham, presented the silver Blue Ribbon medals to the players after the match.
