Live Webinar Date & Time: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 at 1:00pm EST
The evolution of our current healthcare system has been guided by a collection of reactive strategies to complex problems of access to care, quality and safety, and misaligned financial incentives. Population Health (Management) focuses on the broader the spectrum of stakeholders, with an emphasis on specific patient needs and challenges.. This perspective affords decision makers the opportunity to design and deliver care based on accurate predictions that emphasize consumer engagement and increased value. The migration from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement will result in improved outcomes for patients, payers, and increase provider effectiveness and satisfaction.
Learning Objectives:
About the Presenter: David B. Nash, MD, MBA, is Dean of the Jefferson College of Population Health (JCPH), and Editor-in-Chief of ACMQ's American Journal of Medical Quality. JCPH is dedicated to developing healthcare leaders for the future.
A board-certified internist, Dr. Nash is internationally recognized for his work in public accountability for outcomes, physician leadership development, and quality-of-care improvement.
Repeatedly named to Modern Healthcare's list of Most Powerful Persons in Healthcare, his national activities cover a wide scope. Dr. Nash is a principal faculty member for quality of care programming for the American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) in Tampa, FL. He serves on the NQF Task Force on Improving Population Health and the John M. Eisenberg Award Committee for The Joint Commission. He also is a founding member of the AAMC-IQ Steering Committee, the group charged with infusing the tenets of quality and safety into medical education. Dr. Nash was recently appointed to the Board of the Pharmaceutical Quality Alliance (PQA) in Washington, DC.
Dr. Nash received his BA in economics (Phi Beta Kappa) from Vassar College; his MD from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and his MBA in Health Administration (with honors) from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

I don't usually do advertising for free, but I thought this would merit some. Last Saturday night I went with some friends to a bar that one of them had visited once long ago. Nenina is on a corner of the northern Costanera (the avenue that follows the Paraná River starting just north of the city center), close to the impressive arc of the Rosario-Victoria Bridge, maybe 300 m south of Circunvalación Avenue and the municipal limit. Not many people go there on purpose, since the "good" parts of Costanera are on the middle section, full of open-air bars, discos, and the beach. Once you get to Nenina, you either stop there or have to turn back, or at most make in a wide detour to go up to Circunvalación, on the bridge, and across the maze of islands and river arms, eastward, to Entre Ríos.
I tell you, this bar should be in tourist guidebooks. Rosario's been working on that field lately, initially much to the surprise of us locals, but I still have to see a guide with a list of those small places that make a city special — those curious spots that most people don't know about and that you get news of only by word of mouth.
Nenina can be a bar like any other, where you can order a pizza or a carlitos (a hot sandwich with cheese, ham, and ketchup, optionally plus tomato slices, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, etc., not a tostado as in Buenos Aires) and down it with a beer... but that would be an awful waste. The place specializes in cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic; its menu is about 70% drinks. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either; and the service is so good that it makes the money seem unimportant. These guys prepare a drink like a chef prepares a favourite dish.
My friends and I sampled a few cocktails and were pleased about the quality and variety. It's not that simple to have a place in a small establishment (that already needs to cook and serve regular bar/restaurant food and drink) to store a sufficient amount of several icecream flavours, several types of fresh fruit (lemon, orange, pineapple, watermelon, strawberry...), a lot of alcoholic beverages, and slightly more exotic ingredients (Tabasco sauce for Bloody Maries, fresh leaves of hierba buena for mojitos). The drinks do take a while to come, since the place seems to be packed all the time. We arrived a bit late and couldn't get a table outside — the outside is another bar! — so we went inside, which was a bit hot. That (lack of a) choice proved the best, since one hour later it started raining... and raining... and then there was something like a hurricane. Indeed, with the icecream cocktails and the margaritas to the tune of Gloria Stefan, I felt like I was in the Caribbean during the hurricane season. Naturally, at this point the people drinking outside had to get in or leave, so the place became slightly more packed; but the wind cooled the inside of the place.
The storm went on and on... You could see the trees buckling and hear the curtains of rain hitting the roof and the windows. Mind you, we had no wheels to go back. None of us owns a car, and anyway nobody in Rosario goes out by car anymore if they plan to drink alcohol. We got to the place by bus and had to get out like that; a taxi from such a distant place to anyone's house would've been too expensive (not in an emergency, but this wasn't one, and we'd forked more than a few pesos already). We waited (Bloody Mary) and waited (more Bloody Mary) and as the storm subsided a bit we decided to brave the drizzle and go up six or seven blocks to Roundeau Boulevard, where we'd be able to catch plenty of buses. That was a mistake. Two blocks after that the drizzle turned into a deluge, as the huge low-pressure center above us sucked in more clouds. The storm reassembled and we had to seek shelter in a porch. Forty-five minutes later the rain stopped (mostly). Off we went to get our bus.
Long story short, I arrived home much later, wet and shivering. Good news is that my immune system seems to have toughened; after a string of colds in last autumn and winter, I didn't catch anything...

Indigenous Health Model
As a Native American organization, NB3 Foundation programming has always included indigenous perspectives and approaches, but this was not fully captured until recently. In 2016, the NB3 Foundation's Indigenous Health Model (IHM) was developed to reflect and guide NB3 Foundation's programming, grant making and capacity building strategies with Native communities through an indigenous lens.[1] The model builds on existingindigenous evaluation models and metrics that aligned with NB3 Foundation's mission and core values, such as the American Indian Higher Education Consortium's (AIHEC[2]) five principles of Indigenous evaluation:
1) Indigenous knowledge creation—Context and use is critical;
2) People of a place—Respect place-based programs;
3) Recognizing our gifts—Consider the whole person;
4) Centrality of community and family—Connect evaluation to community; and
5) Tribal sovereignty—Create ownership and build capacity.
These principles were woven into NB3 Foundation's Indigenous Health Model (spider web), which symbolizes the interrelated and collective strength of multiple elements that reflect a holistic view of health and wellness[3]. Recognizing that when one part of the spider web is moved, the impact radiates across the entire web.
[1] Sturm, R.; Francis IV, L. (2016). Building an inclusive community-centered evaluation program. Responsive Evaluation.
[2]American Indian Higher Education Consortium Indigenous Evaluation Framework.https://portalcentral.aihec.org/Indigeval/Pages/default.aspx
[3] Notah Begay III Foundation. (2016). "Exploring Native Strong: First Two Years." Santa Ana Pueblo, NM.
The IHM includes an ecological systems framework that considers the many personal and environmental factors that impact a person's health. Additionally, the IHM blends this framework with the five principles of indigenous knowledge and worldviews by connecting to the place of the people, and the gifts and values that contribute to changes at the individual, family, and community level. Beginning with indigenous knowledge and worldviews, the IHM sets the context for how indigenous people conceptualize holistic health (physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental) based on their ancestral teachings, which includes the natural environment and creation. The model is reflective of how to be a good relative and the connection to all life forces: creation, people, plants, and animals. These foundational teachings are the facilitators for illustrating how success can be measured based on community driven indicators that include cultural teachings, roles, and protocols.

Its been too long…
May 8, 2018
…since I've published something here. Hello again!
My focus lately has been on my 'other' job, the one that helps support my art. That said, it's not like I've been ignoring the artwork! My watercolor workshops every 2 weeks give me a time where I can dip my brushes in water, and share my training and ideas with "new" painters. To find out more about my workshops, click here: "Every Other Saturday Morning Watercolor Workshops".
And I've been working on designing and dyeing scarves, like the ones above. I'll be showing them at the annual Balboa Island Artwalk on Sunday, May 20th. Its a lovely, if long, day, along the South Bayfront walk of Balboa Island in Newport Beach, CA. And this year I'll only be showing my scarves. I years past I've shown my paintings too, but I'm going light this year, nothing framed!
Oh, and my hand-embellished, 100% cotton pillowcases. All in permanent dyes, and machine washable to boot.
So come to the Artwalk, Sunday, May 20th, on Balboa Island. Or if you're too far away to come enjoy a lovely day walking around Balboa and seeing all sorts of lovely, hand-hewn artwork, you can find them all online on my online shop.

Some Inspirations This Week
February 12, 2016
Earlier this week I got to see "Red", the Tony-award winning play about one of my favorite painters, Mark Rothko. In the first act there's a terrific back-and-forth between Rothko and the young artist he's hired to be his studio assistant, of different things colored red. Its a verbal panoply of all things red, and in my mind's eye as I visualized each thing they mentioned: tomatoes, blood, lips, cherries, apple, red pepper, rose, red hair, beets, lobsters (cooked), sunsets, strawberries, pomegranates, poppies, I saw all those different versions of red: cadmium red, alizarin, vermilion, scarlet, carmine, crimson, garnet and more. All so different, and all so red. I use them a lot. Its a fun exercise, and illustrates so well the differences between warm reds and cool reds to boot. In my workshop 2 nights later we started doing a similar thing, so they could all start envisioning different variations of just the one color.
Its a fun exercise, and illustrates so well the differences between warm reds and cool reds to boot. In my workshop 2 nights later we started doing a similar thing, so they could all start envisioning different variations of just the one color.
Next: I was born in the Year of the Monkey, so it's 'my' year according to the Chinese zodiac calendar. There have been some interesting illustrations for it online on various social media sites, but I wanted to share one with you all especially. A friend of mine, Kay, who does sumi-e, created a lovely tribute to this year here.
And finally, speaking of reds, have a lovely Valentines!
Making for Shows
May 26, 2015
I've been doing a few art shows/artwalks recently, so my art-making life has been centered around them.
Last week I was a vendor in a boutique at a luncheon and fundraiser for the local chapter of the Alzheimers Association, I'm happy to support the Alzheimers Association, not only because of people I know whose families have been affected by Alzheimers, but also because this luncheon supports the caregivers of those affected by Alzheimers, and honors a caregiver each year. And I always provide a scarf for the auction they have during the luncheon, which I make just for the occasion in the AA signature purple color.
This event was followed 2 days later by the Balboa Island Art Walk. I really enjoy both these shows, and they both bring me to my target market clientele.
This was my 8th time in the Balboa Island Art Walk. Its held every May, on the bayfront walk of Balboa Island in Newport Beach, CA. The bay front walk goes around the perimeter of the island, and is at most an 8′ walkway. Artists' displays can be at most 3′ deep. So people can easily get up close to see the artwork, and not have to make that socially awkward, unintentional commitment of walking into a 10×10 pop-up booth space to look at the work. I love that! I wish more art shows could figure this out, that the pass-by rate decreases when people don't have to walk into a pop-up tent!
And now I'm replenishing my inventory, especially the scarves, for the upcoming Contemporary Crafts Market in Pasadena, CA, on June 5-7.
This is one of the best shows of work by fine art and hand craft makers, where the vendors who are showing are the people who actually hand-make their wares. There is a fee to get into this show, but if you go to CCM's website, you can download a pass that gets 2 people in free for the whole three days, a $16.00 value! There's only so many passes available, so don't delay!
I'll be primarily featuring my new line of hand-painted pillowcases, as well as my silk scarf line: Poppies and Poppies on Waves (above), Olive Branches, Flower Fields, Layers, Koi, Watermelon Wedges, Apples, and hopefully some designs I'm working out now that I might be able to sneak in!
Catching Up Update – a Facetime Moment…
May 29, 2013
In the "this moment just gets better" column!
I just received this photo via email. In my last posting about the Unique LA Show I talked about my fellow vendor who was talking on Facetime with her mum in London so Mum could choose the scarf she was going to receive for Mother's day. Well, here she is, wearing the one she chose! From London! Via Facetime!
Doesn't she look great!
I may be just a little goofy about this whole thing, but it was just so much fun, and startlingly cool, realizing what was happening when Lisa, the other vendor, asked if she could show the scarves on Facetime to her mum. In London. As my family would say, "Who'd've thunk it?"
Thanks to Lisa Bennett of Cards by Li Be for sharing her mum's photo with me, and now you too.
I sell my scarves online in my Etsy shop Blooming Silks. And I'm happy to take orders! Delivery time is 2-3 weeks. Questions? Contact me here:
And please know that your contact information remains confidential!

"Lavender Poppies on red patterns" ©Jill Rosoff 2012, 10″ x 7″
I started this piece in the fall, as a demonstration piece once again in one of my workshops. This piece actually started me on the intention of loosening up on color 'rules' I have consciously and unconsciously obeyed. Since I often use a subject I know when I'm playing around with ideas, and I have been painting Iceland poppies forever, so shape, color and composition are like second nature to me, I find it really easy to go for changes and experimentation with them as my subject.
There is no such thing as a lavender Iceland poppy. Yellow, orange, reds, pink, and white yes, but nothing in the blue spectrum. And I've always wanted them. So 'tada!' I made them. In the grand scheme of things its really not much of a huge plunge, but then again, baby steps are just fine to start out on new paths. I also broke another covenant I heard early on in my painting education, that paintings with red backgrounds can be difficult to make work, let alone sell. Thank goodness Henri Matisse didn't believe that! There are essentially four different reds used in the background, but with layers and some mixing, it looks like more. I am really enjoying how this piece turned out. You?
This piece is now available through my Etsy shop.
Happy 2013, and my New Year's Art Resolution

"Red and Orange Poppies" ©Jill Rosoff 2012
I went on a bit of a blog-hiatus last month. Between making my holiday cards, which I've done for the past 25 (gasp!) years, and then making Christmas gifts for my family, I was plum tuckered out. Maybe that's sugar-plum tuckered out? Only the fairies will know for sure. And they'll dance about it.
I'm back at it now. I have some new paintings that I finished up over the holidays to post here that I've had on the drawing board for awhile. This painting actually came out of an idea I had for a new colorway for my scarves, one that was more fall or winter inspired. And to play with new color combinations through a very familiar theme is an interesting process, because it can help to bust open a preconceived idea. Since Iceland poppies are in a naturally spring-y color spectrum, which I really love, I have pretty much painted them that way. But now I think not every poppy needs to be in yellows, oranges, reds and pinks, do they? I mean, there are pink daffodils, for crying out loud. What if I could have a lavender poppy? Ooooh!
My New Year's resolution? I will not be as literal with color. The reds can be deeper, softer, not so siren-like. The orange can be a faded tomato orange-red. And the green? Instead of a bright spring bud green, how about verdigris? A nice, oxidized, dusty green. This worked for me!
Now all I need to do is remember to write 2013 instead of 2012. I'm thinking I'll get that done by February, earliest.
Watercolor Workshops
January 2, 2013
Happy 2013!
Detail from "Paperwhites", ©Jill Rosoff 2010
For those of you in the Orange County, CA area, my watercolor workshops start up again on Saturday, January 12th.
These workshops are open to everyone at every level of experience in painting with watercolors. Each session's work is focused on what those who are there bring in, whether it be a new project or technique, or working on ongoing paintings, and developing them to completion. When I find new ideas or ways of creating an effect, I bring those in and we experiment with them.
The workshops are held in Santa Ana at Karen's Detail Custom Frames, which is on MacArthur Blvd, one block east of Harbor Blvd., across from the Home Depot. Each session is $25.00, or you can purchase a six-session pass for $125.00 (six sessions for the price of five).
Sign up here to receive emails about the workshops, or download the 2013 workshops schedule here.
Contact me with any questions using the 'contact' link at the end of this or any posting!

Been a while! Besides making a light Superhero game for my daughter (using HeroClix minis – might post more in the future) and playing some of the dice game One Deck Dungeon and the video games Grim Dawn (thanks to their new expansion), Book of Demons (great Diablo 1 homage), and Deep Rock Galactic (great coop experience with friends) and absolutely salivating over Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (might FINALLY be the spiritual successor to Wing Commander Privateer we all want) I've spent a bunch of time reworking Glowquest!
Still so excited for this game; I really want to provide an enjoyable Advanced Heroquest experience with more in-depth and tactical combat. Besides the huge shot of nostalgia from aiming it at me and my 2 childhood friends who played AHQ through junior high & high school, that's really what Glowquest is about.
So what's changed? TONS of streamlining and ripping out concepts, to push them to future "expansions". I really would rather have a tight, playable core framework to build on instead of trying to throw in the kitchen sink on the first go around.
Biggest Changes
- Skills/powers/abilities/activators are now cards called Benefits! The game is almost "roguelike" in nature as it has a narrowed focus onto heroes completing a single expedition into the dungeon (the Quest is also always the same), with no in-between town events or locations. To make a hero they still choose a Role (which gives some basic stat modifications), and then "gain" from their Role deck (of Benefits), which means draw 3 cards and keep 1, which they do 3 times. Then they gain from a Passive deck in the same way. Then the real roguelike element is after every fight the heroes "level up" by Gaining from a deck of their choice (Role, Equipment, or Passive). This means they slowly flesh out their character without the tedium of gold/Crowns management, improving equipment, figuring out what skills come from what items, etc.
- Surge generation! You now roll 1D6 at the start of your turn for the number of Surges you get, but you also re-roll once if you get a 1. This sounds like the complete opposite of the odds I was trying to fight against with the original game, BUT the big a-ha (take two?) was to shift every single Benefit to cost 1-3 ONLY. AND movement is now a basic Benefit you can do for 1 Surge, so you don't even have to move or you can move multiple times. Surges of course are what you spend/use to activate cards.
- Attacks to-hit rolls! You now roll a simple 1D12 to attack, hitting if the result is greater than or equal to the enemy Grit. Damage is still a flat number with ways to increase it from skills.
- Interrupts are gone at least for the time being. Just too much to track. I had already taken them off monsters after my last playtest, but now they are gone for heroes too.
- Elemental damage is gone. so no more weakness/resist. Partially this came from playing Grim Dawn, which has like 9+ resists and was hella boring to try to max them all. So why would I want that in my game? Exactly…gone!
- Dodge and "attacks of opportunity" have been simplified to a choice: leave combat freely but take Unsteady (which means you are easier to hit) OR risk trying to escape (4+) or get stuck there. Ever since Dinosaur Cowboys I've loved choices like those.
- Momentum is still there, because honestly fights in 5×5 rooms would stagnate otherwise. Besides Blood Bowl being a super fun light game, I can thank it for the idea of Momentum (where you HAVE to push or be pushed by an enemy based on if you hit or not).
- Roles do more such as Offense letting you roll 2D12 and choose the highest for attack. Or Defense getting bonus effects if an enemy tries to leave combat. Or Utility getting special "Blessing" tokens to heal out of turn.
- Exploration is a bit different now to fit into the turn structure. Now you can go double your Speed, and don't have to roll for Surges or anything. Part of me wants it to fit the same as combat turns, but part of me wants to be true to the Advanced Heroquest roots which also had split turn styles.
- Glory has been renamed to Resolve (thanks Renowned Explorers I guess?), but still functions the same in that you can lose the game if you run out. You can also choose how much Resolve the party wants to start with, from 2-4.
- Unconscious is a bit more interesting as it provides 3 choices for your special truncated turn: Try to Recover, Throw Rock, or Crawl Away
- Dungeon generation is now a single D20 roll for passage length + doors + passage end, which is vastly simplified from the D20/D12/D10 mess I had before.
- Fate has been removed because under the new system it didn't feel impactful enough, and was just another thing to track. I still like the idea of a spendable resource, so maybe it'll make an appearance in the future.
- Monster changes are coming…it's my next big chunk to do. I came up with the concept of a "Monster Controller" player who alternates each combat before I did the rework, so I need to port that over and flesh it out. I also had the idea of a Monster Strength if I go the route of a "Monster deck" of stat cards to draw from.
- And many more removals and changes. I had written them all down at first (like no more weapon swapping) but then as I progressed through my TODOs I pulled that information out. Regardless the rules should be much tighter with a much more realistic and focused plan.
Updated documents, rules, cards, reference sheets, etc. to come soon!

Britain announces more funds for Pakistan flood relief efforts
September 20, 2010 10:36 am
UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 20 – Andrew Mitchell, secretary of state for international development of Britain, announced here Sunday that his government will donate an additional 110 million U.S. dollars to help Pakistan recover from devastating floods.
Mitchell's announcement of this donation came after the United Nations launched a second appeal for Pakistan on Friday. The new revised appeal amounts to 2.07 billion dollars in total.
"Britain was the first country to come to the support of Pakistan in scale after the flooding started and we will continue to stand by Pakistan in its hour of need as this situation develops," Mitchell told reporters at a high-level ministerial meeting on flood relief for Pakistan.
This new donation by Britain will be spent on preventing the spread of waterborne diseases, helping get children back into school post-disaster, and replacing livestock and poultry to help ensure food security, Mitchell said.
Valerie Amos, the UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, expressed thanks to Britain and other nations that have pledged donations to the revised appeal. (PNA/Xinhua)

The Big Aviation Boom In China
China has developed as a nation at an astounding rate over the past three decades. Economic growth and industrialization is at a high and there are now more opportunities for Chinese citizens than ever before. China is one of the major powers of the world with the fastest growing and now second largest economy by GDP. China is the world's largest when it comes to manufacturing, trading, and exporting with the Chinese consumer market growing faster than any other. China is the world's largest automotive market as car deliveries to the country are rising significantly every year. With all this growth, it is no surprise that the Chinese aviation industry is poised for major expansion.
Pilots Wanted In China
According to China Daily, the Chinese aviation authority needs to train approximately 500,000 pilots within the next 20 years. The need for so many pilots comes as a result of the decision that made that allows private planes to fly below a thousand meters without approval from the military. Since the decision, over 200 firms have applied for general aviation licenses and wealthy Chinese citizens have expressed interest in flight training.
Professional Flight Training In Fort Lauderdale & Memphis
At CTI Professional Flight Training, we provide private and commercial pilot training at our Fort Lauderdale headquarters and in Memphis at our location in Millington. We want to help everyone learn to fly whether you are a US citizen or international student wanting to learn how to fly. Contact us for more information.

Two drunk drivers sentenced
JOHNSTOWN — Two convicted drunk drivers were sentenced this week in Fulton County Court.
Peter R. Anadio, 53, of 139 Highlands Road, Gloversville, was sentenced Tuesday by Judge Louise K. Sira to five years probation; $1,500 fine, installation of an ignition interlock device, and a one-year driver's license revocation, as part of a plea arrangement.
The sentence was based on Anadio's Aug. 19 guilty plea to one felony count of driving while intoxicated.
Anadio was charged with DWI by Gloversville police following a traffic stop on April 5.
Officers said Anadio was charged after an investigation revealed he was intoxicated, and he had a prior conviction for DWI.
In another drinking and driving case, John D. Johnson Jr., 49, of Walnut Street, Johnstown, was sentenced Thursday by Judge Polly A. Hoye to one year in the county jail, three years of an ignition interlock device attached to vehicles, a $1,000 fine, and one-year driver's license revocation. He was sentenced as part of a plea arrangement.
The sentence was based on Johnson's Aug. 14 guilty plea to felony DWI.
He was arrested March 28.
Also this week, Cindy Nelson, 44, of Route 30, Amsterdam, was sentenced Thursday by Sira to time served, five years probation and restitution of $1,732 as part of a plea arrangement.
Her sentence was based on her Aug. 8 guilty plea to felony first-degree attempted identity theft.
Nelson was arrested Jan. 23.

It's not often that an airline will match your point balance from a different airline. In fact, I can't remember the last time this occurred, I really hope other airlines follow suit!
As you probably know by now, Alaska Airlines and Virgin America are teaming up to make the West Coast's 'premier airline'. JetBlue did make a bid for Virgin but was beat-out by Alaska Airlines, sounds like they aren't too happy about it.
JetBlue will match the same amount (and more) of points that you currently have in your Virgin Elevate account after taking just a single round-trip flight on JetBlue (By Aug 31st). If you have 5,001 Elevate points they will give you 10,000 JetBlue points, how cool is that? Have 50,001 Elevate points, they will give you 75,000 JetBlue points! By the way, 75,000 JetBlue points are worth over $1,000 dollars.
Keep in mind, flights that are already booked with JetBlue DO NOT qualify, you must book a flight after you register for the promotion and you must take that flight by Aug 31st.
If you don't have Virgin Elevate points you can transfer points from; Membership Rewards (2:1), Citi Thank You (2:1), and Starwood SPG (1:1). There is no minimum dollar amount required for your qualifying round-trip on JetBlue, just note that you must fly on a paid fare. If you are on the West Coast you can fly to JetBlue's West Coast hub in Long Beach for rather cheap, and who can't find a reason to go to L.A. this summer?
Let's say you transferred 11,000 Starwood SPG points to your Virgin Elevate account at a 1:1 ratio, you would now have 11,000 Elevate points (duh). If you flew a JetBlue round-trip flight by August 31st, 2016 you will earn 30,000 JetBlue points that are worth $420 towards JetBlue flights!
After transferring 11,000 points from SPG to Virgin Elevate and by spending $113 on a round-trip (as an example), this is what you will net:
• 11,000 Virgin Elevate points worth up to $250 towards Virgin flights
• 30,000 JetBlue points worth $420 in JetBlue flights
Is it worth burning $113 in cash and 11,000 SPG points for a combined points total of $670 in value, I'd say so!
Make sure to read the fine print:
- Elevate® members must email a screenshot of their account dashboard to firstname.lastname@example.com by 7/4/2016. Screenshots must include first name, last name, and points balance.
Please include your TrueBlue number in the email. If you are not a TrueBlue member yet, sign up now.
- Once we assess your balance and eligibility, we'll email you to let you know if you're officially registered for the promotion.
- Then book and fly one roundtrip JetBlue flight by 08/31/16.
- Enjoy your new TrueBlue points balance – and love for JetBlue!

Assam political parties favour polls before mid-AprilBy IANS
Wednesday, February 2, 2011
GUWAHATI - Political parties in Assam want the state assembly elections to be held before Bihu, the Assamese New Year in mid-April, and the main opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) has demanded that ballot papers be used instead of the electronic voting machines (EVM).
Major political parties Wednesday held extensive discussions with the full bench of the Central Election Commission, led by Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi, that arrived in Assams main city of Guwahati on a two-day visit to review poll preparations.
We have come here to review poll preparedness, and during our stay we shall be holding meetings with political parties, civil and police officials, besides influential groups and teachers, the chief election commissioner told journalists.
Quraishi is accompanied by Election Commissioners V.S. Sampath and H.S. Brahma.
We want elections in four phases and have specifically asked the Election Commission team to discard the EVMs and instead use ballots for conducting the polls to avoid tampering of votes, AGP president Chandra Mohan Patowary said.
Meanwhile, both the ruling Congress party and Assams main opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) have demanded that elections be held before Bohag Bihu or the Assamese New Year beginning April 14.
Some political parties even sought the confinement of leaders of the outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), currently out on bail, in designated camps.
All the ULFA leaders, including chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, should be confined in designated camps and carrying of arms openly should be restricted so that the ULFA cannot interfere with the poll process, said Biswajit Daimary, leader of the Bodoland Peoples Front, an ally of the ruling Congress party in Assam.

The Frog net has decided to take on the Peacock's Olympic juggernaut — and kick off its new Sunday comedy sked with a Foxx.
As part of a 17-day fall rollout plan to be unveiled today, the WB will announce a rejiggered Sunday lineup that now kicks off at 7 p.m. with "The Jamie Foxx Show." Eddie Murphy's toon laffer "The PJs," a Fox import that had been set to lead off the WB's Sunday, will now air at 8:30 p.m.
"For Your Love" shifts to 7:30 and "The Steve Harvey Show" is still at 8. New comedies "Hype!" and "Nikki" remain skedded from 9 to 10.
The WB's fall rollout strategy also includes plans to launch two nights of programming, Tuesday and Friday, opposite NBC's broadcast of the Summer Olympics — and before the season officially starts Oct. 2.
Frog will leap into the fray Sept. 22 with the premiere of its new Friday lineup of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (8 p.m.), "Gross Pointe" (8:30) and sophomore drama "Popular" (9).
Move of "Sabrina" from ABC to the WB coincides with the skein's syndie bow the same week. WB affils in four of the nation's top six markets will be airing the off-net run of "Sabrina," so network execs are hoping to piggyback on the promotion surrounding the syndie launch.
In another Olympics counterprogramming move, the WB's not-so "New Tuesday" will return Sept. 26 with original segs of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."
As for the Sunday switcheroo, WB exec VP of programming Jordan Levin said the Frog made the move to avoid putting "The PJs" in competition with animated programming on Fox.
"In recognizing the strengths 'The PJs' has shown this summer in repeats on Fox, we thought it was more suitable counterprogramming running against non-animation," Levin said. "We think 'The PJs' has a lot of upside and wanted to give it opportunities to grow as the only animated show in its timeslot."
The WB will roll out the rest of its lineup during the official premiere week (Oct. 2-8), starting with the Monday tandem of "7th Heaven" and "Roswell" on Oct. 2. "Dawson's Creek" and "Felicity" begin their new seasons on Wednesday, Oct. 4, while on Thursday, Oct. 5, the WB counters a likely presidential debate with the premiere of new drama "Gilmore Girls" and the return of "Charmed."
The new Sunday sked will make its bow as a complete unit on Oct. 8, though "The PJs" will move into its Sunday slot on Sept. 10 (following a special Friday sneak on Sept. 8).
Peacock preems
Over at NBC, meanwhile, the Peacock has locked in premiere dates for four of its seven nights of programming.
Network will bow its Monday lineup of "Daddio," "Tucker," "Deadline" and "Third Watch" on Oct. 2, while the Sunday trio of "Dateline," "Ed" and a movie will launch Oct. 8.
NBC's Friday roster of "Providence," "Dateline" and "Law & Order: SVU" won't be back until Oct. 20; the net's new Saturday movie isn't set to begin until Oct. 21. Blame baseball playoffs for both.
Should a presidential or vice-presidential debate not take place on Thursday, Oct. 5, there's a good chance NBC will debut a new season of "Must See TV" that night. If the debate happens, it's likely (though not a sure thing) that "Friends," "Will & Grace," "Just Shoot Me," "ER" and newcomer "Cursed" will pop up on Oct. 12.
Still to be decided: premiere dates for NBC's Tuesday and Wednesday skeds.

Has anyone used Horsehair or Hemp for strings? The following link is a gourd banjo with Horsehair strings playing the tune "Old Johnny Boker." I think it sounds great. https://youtu.be/RW9KGlw7n3A
Views: 46
It does sound good and slightly different than nylgut strings.
I made the strings. I think they have a unique sound. Different than nylgut. They have a very plunky tone. The idea came from accounts in the 1600s and 1700s. They probably would sound better if They were thinner.

The Senate has passed the bill seeking the establishment of North East Development Commission to rebuild the insurgency-ravaged North East region of Nigeria.
The bill passed the third reading on Thursday after earlier disagreements over funding sources and headquarters.
The Senate approved the allocation of three per cent of Value Added Tax accrual to the Federal Government in the next 10 years for the rebuilding of the North East through the proposed commission.
The report on the commission was laid by Murtala Nyako (APC-Adamawa), chairman of the committee on special duties.
In his remark after the bill was passed, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, said, "With this commission, I hope we can collaborate and address humanitarian crisis and challenges in the North East."
The Senate will transfer the bill to the House of Representatives for concurrence before forwarding it to President Muhammadu Buhari for assent.
If it scales the remaining procedural hurdles, the commission will have its headquarters in Borno State, worst hit by Boko Haram terrorism.
"I am truly elated at the passing of the NEDC bill today by the 8th Assembly of the Federation," said Mr. Nyako.
"Today marks the beginning of a new future for the North East and the vision of its restoration shall now soon be a reality," he added.

The Los Angeles Police Department arrived at the house to find that the intruder had removed a window screen, TMZ reports. They told the public that multiple patrols were immediately dispatched to survey the neighborhood. They said the person did not appear to have entered the house but that he or she is still on the loose.
The resilient actress didn't let this ruin her week. A day after the incident she was posting photos on social media of her kids playing at home.
This isn't the actress' first run-in with unwanted company. In 2017, at the same house, a break-in resulted in the loss of precious jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars while she vacationed with family in Canada.

Eweron Bladetwist was born at the year of -1 (Which should make him about 27-28 years old) in Lordaeron, Son of Treweny and Thoriac Bladetwist. When Eweron was 1 year old, his father fought with the Alliance against the orcs in "The First War" while Eweron only lived with his mother for the five months his father was gone.
When Eweron had his tenth birthday, Thoriac started to train him in handling weapons, in hope to make his son a great warrior one day too. The boy became skilled very quickly. As his father retired to focus on his family instead of fighting, the years passed and they lived in peace, most of the time. After 8 years of training, Eweron was sent off to his final test. To beat his father in a battle.
Three years after his test, the Scourge invaded Lordaeron. Eweron quickly started to evacuate, but his parents refused to take his offer to leave with him. They said that they had to take care of a few things then meet him in Strahnbrad. Just before Eweron left, his father gave him the golden armour, resmithed and strenghtened that he used himself during his years as a warrior. Eweron was shocked, but accepted the armour happily.
As Eweron left to Strahnbrad, waiting for his parents to arrive, he got worried after each day. Nobody arrived in a week and the Scourge had taken a great advantage over Lordaeron. He tried to return to his parents house, but was stopped by skeletons and ghouls. Even though he fought well against them, he was wounded and had to retreat back to Strahnbrad to get medical aid. He gave up hope and slowly moved towards Southshore.
Left to pieces when arriving to Southshore, only to think about his family that had been lost to the Scourge and swore to one day avenge them. He later disapeared for a few years.
Suddenly, showing up in Stormwind he slowly made a few friends aswell as enemies. He quickly joined his childhood friend that also survived the Scourge, Kevarus Valorfist and his Order. Eweron was close to lose his life several times while in the Order, and lost his "career" as a templar when he got posessed by an unknown source, turning against his fellow members. His stubborn will made him take the last of his sence and went to search for aid. The Scarlet Crusade acted quickly and gave him aid to get his memories back aswell as his mind. Grateful and for sure tricked into their promises, he joined the Crusade in hope to bring Lordaeron back to it's former glory.
A girl was involved in his life aswell, of course. As soon as he came to Stormwind, but was too afraid to ruin their friendship to take another step into a relationship. After many attempts to show his love discreetly, he gave up hope and joined some Scarlet warriors on a secret expedition to Northrend itself. As arriving upon Northrend, they were met by the most brutal undead, and almost everyone was slaughtered before even making a difference to the Lich King or knowing anything about the land, he and a few survivors returned quickly back home to the Eastern Kingdoms. As they returned, he left the Crusade (as he realized their corruption more and more for each day) and quickly found the girl again, as he decided to make another attempt to get his beloved into his arms.

Renault Kangoo
The Renault Kangoo and the Renault Kangoo Express are a range of multi purpose vehicles manufactured and marketed by Renault across two generations since 1997 in commercial as well as passenger variants. As of December 2019[update], the electric variant, the Renault Kangoo Z.E., is Europe's top selling all-electric light commercial vehicle, with global sales of 48,821 units since its inception in 2011.[1]
|Renault Kangoo
|Body and chassis
|Leisure activity vehicle/Light commercial vehicle (M)
|Body style
|4/5-door van
|Front-engine, front-wheel drive
|Renault Express
The Kangoo is manufactured at the MCA plant in Maubeuge, France and Casablanca, Morocco. The version for the ASEAN markets was assembled by the Malaysian Tan Chong Euro Cars in its Segambut plant.[2][3]
The first generation model was marketed as a rebadged variant by Nissan in Europe as the Nissan Kubistar until the end of 2009, in other Spanish-parlant countries has retained his original designation, when it was replaced by the Nissan NV200. In September 2012, Mercedes-Benz began marketing a rebadged variant of the second generation Kangoo as the Mercedes-Benz Citan.[4]
Kangoo I (1997–2007)Edit

|Also called
|Nissan Kubistar

|4,035 mm (158.9 in)
|1,670 mm (65.7 in)
|1,800 mm (70.9 in)
|Nissan NV200 (for Nissan Kubistar)
The first generation Kangoo was introduced in October 1997, and was facelifted in March 2003, with new front end nose styling, especially the grille, standardised across the Renault range, with the Renault diamond mounted on a body colour panel in the centre of the grille and teardrop headlamps.
The rear windows and seats of the Kangoo could be removed, producing the panel van Kangoo Express. The Kangoo became popular with mobility impaired and wheelchair users due to its height and accessibility, and because it could be adapted to include mounting points for wheelchairs. The rear of the vehicle is cut to allow a ramp to be fitted. A pair of front tie downs are fitted (retractable seat belts with a solonoid release to allow them to be extended, passed around the wheelchair frame, and then locked back when the solonoid is switched off and they retract); this stops the wheelchair from moving back. A pair of rear tie downs with the normal clamping buckles stop the wheelchair from moving forward. A normal, long seat belt is worn by the wheelchair user.
Both the Kangoo and Kangoo Express were available in four-wheel drive versions and a lengthened version was available, with an increased cargo area. A pickup version was sold in the Swedish market. In some countries, such as Malaysia, the Kangoo was assembled by Nissan with third row seats.
A badge-engineered version of the Kangoo panel van was sold as the Nissan Kubistar,[10] sold by Nissan from 1997 to 2009. From July 2003, Wallace and Gromit starred in adverts in the United Kingdom for the Kangoo.[11]
The Kangoo Break'Up was a four wheel drive concept car announced in August 2002 and previewed the facelift design due in 2003, together with a pick up-style rear. It was powered by 1.6 L engine producing 82 kW (110 hp).[12]
Four wheel driveEdit
The 4WD version of the Kangoo was introduced in 2002, and was marketed under the model name Trekka. It should not be confused with the Skoda powered New Zealand built utility vehicle named Trekka, which was marketed in the Antipodes for several years circa 1970.
The Kangoo Trekka's all wheel drive system differed from the Renault Scenic RX4 in its inclusion of a Nissan sourced automatic torque coupling "ATC", a hydraulic coupling that would engage drive on all four wheels should the front wheels start to lose traction.
This allowed the Kangoo Trekka to run in front wheel drive in most conditions, thus saving fuel. Working in combination with the ATC, the Kangoo Trekka featured an electronically controlled "ASR" traction control system which could brake the front wheels to arrest traction loss.
The suspension on the front had longer front struts with revised coil springs, lower suspension arms were revised to a cast steel item. The rear suspension was completely revised from the standard Kangoo torsion bar suspension beam axle to a fully independent coil sprung system with wishbones. The rear differential was centrally mounted with two driveshafts transmitting power to the rear wheels. All this was carried on a subframe which increased the ground clearance and wheel travel.
These changes gave the Kangoo Trekka a 400 mm (15.7 in) fording depth and 28 degree hill climbing capability. The Kangoo Trekka was marketed in the UK with a choice of two engines, the 1.6 L 16 valve petrol engine and the 1.9 L dCi common rail turbodiesel both with a five speed manual gearbox
In 2005, these models were priced at £12,600 and £13,600 respectively. The diesel produced a peak torque of 180 N⋅m (133 lb⋅ft) and achieved over 7 L/100 km (40 mpg‑imp; 34 mpg‑US) on the combined (urban and extra urban) fuel consumption test.
The petrol engine had a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 60 mph) time of 14.3 seconds, and a combined fuel consumption of 9 L/100 km (31 mpg‑imp; 26 mpg‑US). The interior of the Kangoo Trekka was spartan. The rear bench seat could be folded forward to provide a 2.5 m3 (88 cu ft) loading area, with better access through the sliding side doors.
The Kangoo and Kangoo Express was/is available with a choice of multiple engines:
- 1.0 L D Series petrol, 44 kW (59 hp) (8v) / 51 kW (68 hp) (16v)
- 1.2 L D Series petrol, 45 kW (60 hp) (8v) / 56 kW (75 hp) (16v)

- 1.9 L F Series D diesel, 41 kW (55 hp)/48 kW (65 hp) (normally aspirated, indirect injection)
- 1.9 L F Series dTi turbodiesel, 60 kW (80 hp) (direct injection)
- 1.9 L F Series dCi turbodiesel, 60 kW (80 hp)/63 kW (85 hp)
- Electric Electri'cité (limited edition)

O.C. folks can flock to the Observatory for the terrific teaming of troubadours: Foy Vance and Brett Dennen. St. Vincent showcases her much-praised new CD at the Wiltern. The awesome Nashville singer/songwriter Amelia White also has a new album Old Postcards and a local record release show at the Hotel Café, where Lily Kershaw also will be doing a set. However, topping Friday's list is Lydia Loveless I love her new album Somewhere Else and she'll be at the Satellite.

After spending her life traveling as a military brat, Alicia found her love of cooking while spending countless hours in the kitchen with her mom working on her catering business. She was able to learn and grow while finding out her love of food and flavors. She hopes to bring her travels and experience to help create a new and exciting take on the classics.
Rachel has been with Mas Kaos since its beginning and has loved watching the restaurant grow and change. She is originally from St. Louis and shamelessly loves Nelly, all things 90's/00's hip-hop, and planning and executing perfect house parties. On her days off, you can catch her playing around with ingredients in her home bar and being bad at video games. She still hasn't beaten Ocarina of Time but she'll make you the best French 75 you've ever had.
