As a health care provider, the patient is always your main concern. Of course, the care you provide is also guided by laws and regulations. While some of these laws and regulations can make the jobs of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other providers more complicated, we can all agree that the majority of them help ensure that patients and health care professionals are protected and everyone can access the same high-quality medical care when it's needed.
When Translation is the Law
An example of a legal requirement that benefits health care professionals and patients alike is the need to translate vital documents into the languages most commonly found in the area where a hospital or clinic is located. There are six vital documents that must be translated according to law.Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on national origin (among other things) by any organization receiving federal funding. Failure to provide necessary documentation in a language the patient can thoroughly understand can be considered discriminatory under the CRA. In 1997, the specific requirements for translation were clarified through the Critical Access Hospital Program, which focuses on those hospitals in areas of the country where the percentage of LEP patients is higher and the relative number of adequate care facilities is low.
Six Vital Documents that Must Be Translated
According to these guidelines – which provide an excellent benchmark against which every hospital and medical practice can judge its own limited-English-proficient (LEP) language access protocol – there are six types of documents considered "vital" that must be made available in the languages common in the community where the facility is located:
- Notices of free language assistance
- Notices of eligibility criteria for services
- Informed consent documents
- Intake forms that have clinical consequences
- Discharge instructions
- Complaint forms
Federal regulations set up and monitored by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR, part of the Department of Health and Human Services) require that these document types be translated for every "LEP language group that constitutes 5 percent or 1000 persons – whichever is less – of the population served."
In some cases, state requirements are more stringent. For instance, in New York State, the law requires translated documentation for "LEP groups comprising more than 1 percent of the hospital service area."
Section 1557 Requirements
Like the Civil Rights Act, Section 1557, the nondiscrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act, also requires organizations that receive federal funding to take reasonable steps to include the provision of language assistance services, including written translation. However, Section 1557 sets a new requirement that translators be qualified. Under Section 1557, organizations must now also post notices of nondiscrimination and taglines in the top 15 languages spoken by individuals with LEP in that state that indicate the availability of language assistance.
Covering Major Touchpoints in the Patient Experience
The list of vital document categories provides thorough coverage for a patient from triage to discharge and beyond. Every major touchpoint of the patient's journey is included. The following graphic illustrates examples of specific forms that would fall into these categories and the touchpoints to which they connect.
Who Should Handle the Translation?
In some cases, hospitals have utilized bilingual staff to translate these and other documents into Spanish or other common languages in the areas where they serve. But is this the smartest strategy? Is the bilingual staff member indeed qualified to translate as required under Section 1557?
What if the resulting translation is not perfect? What if a slight error results in a miscommunication or completely faulty instructions being provided? Could your patient's health or even life be at risk?
To avoid frustration, costly legal issues, and dangerous health outcomes, many health care facilities have opted to contract with a professional translation service using qualified translators to handle the translation of vital documents into necessary languages to serve the LEP patients that rely on them for care.
Doing so ensures that the patients receive the information they need to participate in their own treatment and make the most of the doctor's instructions. And, it frees up health care professionals to focus on their top priority – caring for the patient – without having to worry about unintentional miscommunications getting in the way of adequate care.

North Carolina's governor, Pat McCrory, has vetoed an ag-gag bill that would make it illegal for whistleblowers and journalists to expose abuses in a wide range of industries.
North Carolina's House Bill 405Â would have allowed business owners to sue employees who record damaging activity in the workplace without their boss's permission.
The bill was part of a national "ag-gag" trend to stop undercover investigations of factory farms by animal welfare groups. One group, Compassion Over Killing, recently documented workers at Mountaire Farms punching, shoving, and throwing chickens.
But the bill wasn't limited to factory farming. Groups like AARP have opposed it because it "applies to any business's employees who may seek to reveal illegal and unethical practices."
That includes "nursing homes, hospitals, group homes, medical practices, charter and private schools, daycare centers, and so forth," the group says.
The public is overwhelmingly against ag-gag laws. A recent survey by the ASPCA showed that 74 percent of residents in North Carolina support undercover investigations by animal welfare groups.
Ag-gag laws are currently being challenged as unconstitutional in Utah and Idaho.
Governor McCrory said he the bill would have made it more difficult to expose abuse:
"While I support the purpose of this bill, I believe it does not adequately protect or give clear guidance to honest employees who uncover criminal activity. I am concerned that subjecting these employees to potential civil penalties will create an environment that discourages them from reporting illegal activities."

Anemia of Prematurity
Anemia is a low level of red blood cells (RBCs). These cells pick up oxygen in the lungs and bring it to the rest of the body. Low levels make it hard for the body to get enough oxygen.
Anemia of prematurity is when this problem happens in babies who are born too early.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Anemia of prematurity may be caused by 1 or more of the these problems:
Loss of blood due to:
- Problems during labor and birth
- Removal of blood for testing—regular blood tests are needed to monitor the health of babies born too early
Low production of RBCs due to:
- Nutrition problems
- Infections such as rubella or parvovirus that affect the bone marrow where RBCs are made
Destruction of RBCs from health problems like:
- Incompatibility between mother's and baby's blood—Rh incompatibility
- Hereditary disorders
Risk Factors
Infants are likely to get anemia because:
- Fewer RBCs are made in newborns right after birth
- Blood volume cannot keep up with a baby's growth
- RBCs have a shorter lifespan in infants
Things that may raise the risk of this problem are:
- Family history of anemia
- Problems during delivery
- Blood loss during birth
- An illness that requires a lot of blood work
- Being a twin with twin-to-twin transfusion
Poor diet that is low in iron, vitamin B6, or B12 in:
- Mother during pregnancy
- Infant after birth
Mild anemia may have no symptoms. Moderate or severe anemia may cause:
- Pale skin
- Low activity level
- Fast or difficult breathing
- Problems feeding
- Fast heart rate
- Slow weight gain
- Periods when breathing stops
You will be asked about your baby's symptoms and health history. A physical exam will be done.
Your baby's blood will be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
A diagnosis will be made based on the blood test. The test results may also help find the cause of the anemia.
Treatment will depend on the cause of anemia. Mild anemia may be monitored with blood tests. As little blood as possible will be taken to keep the anemia from getting worse.
Treatment options are:
Better Nutrition
Nutrition can help with recovery by helping the body make more RBCs.
Iron is important in making RBCs. Some babies may be given supplemental iron.
Blood Transfusion
Some babies with severe problems may need treatment right away. A blood transfusion can quickly raise the level of RBCs. It may need to be done more than 1 time.
To lower a child's chance of getting anemia of prematurity:
- Get proper prenatal care throughout pregnancy.
Mothers should take steps to prevent premature birth:
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, and drugs.
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
- Manage chronic health problems.
- Provide proper nutrition to babies.

Frances' Story
As a single mom to two young boys, Frances already had her hands full. Her oldest son, 9-year-old Diego, has a very rare medical condition that requires special medication to be brought to the island. When Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, Frances no longer had access to the medication Diego needed. She went to the local news station, pleading for help to get the medicine delivered. Every day that passed, she watched him grow weaker and she became more frantic.
When she heard Humvees making their way through town, Frances threw herself in front of the vehicles in desperation. Dr. Antonia Novello, a Central Floridian who had flown to the island to help, realized the gravity of the situation and arranged for transport of the family to the Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando, Florida.
As the months passed, Diego regained his strength and fully recovered. Frances found a job, and applied for the Hurricane Maria Housing Assistance Program for help with the initial deposits in order to secure an apartment for her family. Although they only had a couple of twin mattress and a pack of paper plates, it was a place to call home.
With the expansion of the Hurricane Maria Housing Assistance Program, however, Frances was able to go to Ikea to pick out beds for her sons, a couch to do homework on and a dining room table they could have dinner at together. Now their apartment is home sweet home.

Give These Sparkling Reds a Try
Sparkling red wines have a bad reputation. Mass-produced Lambrusco isn't the only culprit; most on the market are overly sweet and imbalanced, with little substance. Yet this wine style is enjoyed throughout the wine-drinking world and has a special place within the cuisine of eastern Europe and the Slavic lands. Its defining characteristic is really its limpidity; sparkling reds are merely darker than rosés. Nevertheless, you can expect abundant fruit, with softer and creamier textures than other sparklers. At the table, they're terrific as aperitifs and with first courses; they're also fun wines to enjoy kicking back with some soft cheeses.
Patrick Bottex "La Cueille" Bugey-Cerdon, France, $22.50 Flavors of strawberries, so clean and taut, like a sparkling Beaujolais. It's a favorite among restaurant folks, who love to party with this one.
Rosa Regale Brachetto, Italy, $17 Lightly effervescent and low in alcohol, this is full of flowery charm, like a red Moscato d'Asti. Try serving a glass before and after dinner, and make sure there's a chocolate or two.
Chiarli "Fondatore Lambrusco," Italy, $18 The real deal—frothy, uncompromising Lambrusco. It's a must-try with prosciutto.
Bleasdale Shiraz "The Red Brute," Australia, $18.50 With intense berry flavors and a modicum of sweetness, this wine is juicy and fun. It's lovely with a wide variety of cheeses and perfect for the hot tub.

My New (Mental) Mission
Health. It's what I'm about.
But, for the longest time I've been battling Cheetos and cheddar fries, bacon & brisket, and the misleading claims of ANYONE trying to sell you coconut oil baked in bullshit.
I've known for some time that it is our overall eating pattern (below) that's what's killing us. Quite simply, Pollan was right. The best solution to eating is to "Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
Eat more GREEN and eat less YELLOW and you're on your way to healthier eating. It is THAT simple.
Any argument is a distraction. Enough battling to see which is the "healthiest food". Done. Case closed. Plants rock.
My New (Mental) Mission.
In my battles for good health and good information, I've found that our choices begin and end in our heads (brains)...and it's complicated...which is why it's so hard to change. This is a great discussion on Determinants of Food Choice. I recommend printing, saving, and sharing....with all those that think that "one size fits all" in terms of changing your own eating patterns. We're ALL different.
And, with that in mind...we get to the mind...and health.
I've learned along my research into "change" that sound mental health may be the key (or obstacle) to every other area of human health, from healthy choices and physical health to spiritual health, healthy relationships, optimal work performance and every other area of our lives.
And, lack of mental health (or presence of mental illness) seems NOT to be discussed as a mainstream topic. I hope to "mainstream" mental health (and mental illness). Mental illness should NOT be viewed, as it has been for so long, as merely a weakness.
I hope to inspire, enlighten, and give hope, wherever I can...to bring good health to the minds of my readers. It's so much easier to choose the apple over apple schnaaps when your "head" is in the right place.
You may have already noticed my shift in mission over my last several posts. If not, take a look back...and enjoy!

Wellness and the Big Boss
It's been well-studied that for most corporate wellness programs to produce the most significant and lasting results, leadership plays THE most critical role, specifically, the boss.
IMPORTANT BOSS NOTE: Before ANY boss reads further, understand that this post is NOT to take away or denigrate ANYTHING from ANY company or ANY boss that has attempted to make strides in installing, developing, and supporting a corporate wellness program. But, there's a great little book (like one of those "Who Moved My Cheese" books) I read entitled "212: The Extra Degree". Water is really, really, hot at 211 degrees. But, at 212 degrees, it creates steam and can power a locomotive. What follows is that extra degree that I see missing in corporate wellness (in case you're interested)...that can take it from HOT to BOILING...that one extra degree.
If you want maximum results from a corporate wellness program, the corporate culture, policies, and performance measures associated with the program (and flowing from the wishes of the boss) MUST extend BEYOND a preoccupation with driving down individual health risk factors (ie. blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etc.) and reach into the employees' very being, their aspirations and goals, their hearts and their souls.
As I tell many people, you can pay people to hop on one leg. But, will they continue hopping on one leg, without the money? Do they want to hop on one leg? Are they happier and more productive while hopping on one leg?
But, is the company getting the BEST possible sustained result?
You can pay or punish people into losing weight. And, many companies do. And, you can unleash their desire to improve their health.
The heart and soul is where the potential for lasting change truly exists and where health truly exists, stops, and starts. The boss rarely "goes there". After all, there's a business to run.
So, why are corporate wellness programs mired in the mundane, misunderstanding the difference between coercing risk factor reduction and inspiring lasting health change?
The answer rests with the boss. Success in corporate wellness begins and ends with the boss.
In my opinion (and having been involved in corporate wellness initiatives, attempts, successes and failures...over many years), these are my 5 reasons corporate wellness programs don't deliver maximum results. The boss is usually 1 or more of the following:
Too Busy
Whether working "in" the business or "on" the business, most of the boss's attention is dedicated to the direct success of the business and its products or services.
Countless meetings, questions, "fires", competitive re-engineering of the business, itself, and many more pressing situations require the boss's attention on a daily basis. They'd "love to be more involved", but, "who has the time?".
Too Comfortable
The bosses have generally worked very hard for a very long time to get to their position of leadership. They've tried, installed, and changed many people systems, processes, and procedures over the years.
The success of the company shows. Why mess things up, now? Who wants to take on this crazy wellness stuff? It probably won't make a difference, anyway. What's the ROI, again?
Many are already doing "wellness stuff" or have a wellness "program" (whatever that means)...and feel pretty good about what they're doing.
Too Detached
"The employees have their own lives. They're adults. It's not my place to watch over them like children. Everyone has free choice. If they don't like it here, they're free to find work elsewhere. We provide a great opportunity for people to work, earn a living, and take care of their families. I'm not going to tell them how to run their lives. Besides, my HR folks take care of this."
Too Processed
Companies like systems, programs, processes and procedures that can be counted on to deliver consistent results. In fact, whether a turn-key operation or not, consistency is highly valued in a company...as it should be.
Bosses love solid measures, indices, digital read-outs, and financial reports to let them know how things are running. Weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol are easily measured biometrics and give bosses something to sink their systems-loving teeth into. Who has time to measure "desire for health" or "level of inspiration and motivation toward health"?
Too Afraid
Corporate wellness done right requires a new kind of work, a different kind of work, a work that the boss isn't used to, isn't trained for, and isn't comfortable with.
Uncertainty, disruption of the "harmony" (whatever harmony exists) within the organization, and failure are ALL very real reasons that a boss may not embark on the incredible and rewarding effort and journey of transforming their organization into one where the culture of wellness, of inspiring and supporting employees on a journey to fuller living, of protecting the health and welfare of the employees and their families has simply become a moral imperative.
But, there's a reason the boss is the boss. Whatever the boss wants to do...gets done. And, for whatever the boss wants/needs in order to get the job done, no expense, time, or effort is spared. Forget ROI. If the boss want it, the boss gets it.
However, this time, the investment needs to be in the boss and the training and skills the boss needs in order to lead the company into uncharted territory...to the territory of caring, profoundly and deeply about the health and welfare of each and every employee (and their families)...about each other. This isn't about a budget handed to subordinates with a mission to implement a wellness program.
And, while the boss has most likely used some level of skill in rising through and leading others, in the world of health culture change, the boss may need additional training in applied:
Wellness isn't about blood pressure. It's about saving lives, improving lives, and helping people live as full and happy a life as they would like.
And, why is this the boss's responsibility? Because if the boss doesn't help them, who will?
But ultimately, it starts with the boss's DESIRE to do it. Period. Paragraph. Almost the end of the story.
Oh...and the company will probably end up with a happier, more productive, and lower cost workforce than without the caring. If not...it's still the right thing to do (in my opinion).
I created General Healthy as a passionate spokesperson for true health. I've been in the health field for a very long time. My story is here.

Fresh off of the first victory of the Jerry Kill Era, the Minnesota Golden Gophers will play host to one of the top teams in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) when the North Dakota State University Bison come to TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday night.
The Gophers have hosted the Bison twice in recent history, and the results were two very close games. In 2006, the Bison almost knocked off the Gophers at the Metrodome, but the Gophers came away with a 10-9 victory when the Bison missed a field goal at the end of the game. The Gophers came away with a victory in that one despite being outgained by 140 yards by North Dakota State.
The next season, the Gophers weren't so fortunate, as the Bison came into the Metrodome and walked away with a 27-21 victory over Minnesota. Then-coach Tim Brewster referred to the Bison as "the little guys in green," but nobody was laughing after NDSU's Tyler Roehl rushed for an NDSU record of 263 yards on 22 carries in leading the Bison to the upset. As a team, the Bison rushed for 394 yards in the game, and had a 14-minute time of possession edge over the Golden Gophers.
The Bison come into this one ranked 12th in the latest FCS Coaches poll, and have defeated their first two opponents this season by a combined score of 98-9. The Gophers currently sit with a record of 1-2 after losses to USC and New Mexico State in addition to last week's victory over Miami (Ohio).
This will be a night game for the Gophers and the Bison, with kickoff scheduled for 6:00 PM Central time at TCF Bank Stadium. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

In the previous episodes of DC Universe's Doom Patrol , Dorothy accidently broke Danny the Brick, and Jane was jailed in the Underground. In Doom Patrol Season 2 Episode 4, the Doom Patrol and the Dannyzens throw a party to help Danny the Brick.
Dorothy was upset about what happened to Danny the Brick. Though she had lived on Danny the Street for years, she hadn't been allowed above ground. The Dannyzens arrived to help get Danny the Brick back together and eventually make them a street again. Maura Lee Corrupt suggested throwing a party.
Rita put makeup on Dorothy when she asked after confirming that, while she was eleven years old, she had lived a hundred and seventy-five years. Niles didn't like it, but Dorothy assured him she was older than he thought. The party started like a quiet cocktail party, but things picked up after Dorothy sang "Pure Imagination". However, it was her bedtime, and she had to leave the party.
The Candlemaker taunted Dorothy and her other imaginary friends like Hershel.
Rita was having trouble controlling her powers. Flex told her she needed a clear mind She asked Flex to use his powers to help her orgasm again like he had done on Danny the Street to help her clear her mind. We saw in her past that she had witnessed her mother sleeping with someone to get her part. Rita ended up echoing her mother's words when Dorothy asked her if she was beautiful.
As the night progressed, the party got wilder. Larry was awkward when trying to dance with a man and ended the night feeling lonely. Niles offered to dose Cliff with Ecstasy. While Cliff was high, he found himself dancing with a shadow. It turned out to be a sex demon, who'd been attracted to the party because of Rita's orgasm. The Sex Men, Kiss, Torture, and Cuddles, arrived to stop it from birthing a baby whose cry would eliminate all the children of the world.
Though Jane was still locked up in the Underground, her other personalities had attended the party. When Dr. Harrison heard that children were in trouble, she braved Flex's powers, presumably for Kay. It was Hammerhead who saved the day by shoving the baby back into the sex demon. When Cliff hugged her, Hammerhead let Jane out, and she was back as the primary.
Dorothy asked Danny if they were friends when she went back down to the party. They had been keeping her prisoner for Niles when Dorothy lived in Danny the Street. Danny confronted Niles and refused to take her again. At the end of the episode, Danny was a tire and took the Dannyzens with them.
What did you think of this episode of Doom Patrol ? ?

County Noxious Weed Control Program
Noxious Weed
Noxious Weed is a legal term used to denote a destructive or harmful weed for the purpose of regulation. These non-native plants aggressively compete with desirable plants and affect man, livestock, and wildlife. This not only directly affects landowners but erodes the tax base for all residents. The business of noxious weed control is everyone's concern and their control is to everyone's benefit. Effective control needs to include controlling the existing infestations and preventing new infestations.
Noxious Weeds Found in Lancaster County
- Canada Thistle
- Common and Cutleaf Teasel
- Japanese and Giant Knotweed
- Leafy Spurge
- Musk Thistle
- Phragmites
- Plumeless Thistle
- Purple Loosestrife
- Saltcedar
- Sericea Lespedeza
- Spotted and Diffuse Knapweed
Who is Responsible of Controlling Noxious Weeds
Nebraska's Noxious Weed Control Act places the responsibility for controlling noxious weeds on the property owner. This includes preventing the spread of noxious weeds or any article (equipment, soil, etc.) contaminated with viable seeds or plant parts.
Inspectors visit properties because of past infestations, a complaint or their observation that there may be noxious weeds present. If there are uncontrolled noxious weeds, the owner is issued a notice requiring control within 10 days. If equipment or soil is contaminated with viable noxious weed seed or plant parts, a quarantine may be issued requiring decontamination, if possible, prior to removal from the property.
Owners that don't perform timely control of noxious weeds are subject to having it done by a contracted commercial weed control service.
Control by a Contracted Weed Control Service
If the 10 day notice is not complied with, the Lancaster County Weed Control Authority may have the work done. The owner will be billed for all costs associated with the forced control. This will include the cost of the contracted work and related clerical and inspection cost. The resulting cost will be significantly greater than if done by the owner or someone the owner hires to do the work.
Special Assessment
Any unpaid bills become a lien on the property and a special assessment levied. These special assessments, plus interest, must be paid before land can be sold.
Reporting Noxious Weeds
Any citizen may call the Weed Control Office at 402-441-7817 to report a location with noxious weeds.

New ULI report offers insight into the HOA-industry's agenda
By Deborah Goonan, Independent American Communities
By now, everyone in the U.S. knows about our housing affordability crisis. The problem extends beyond our cities' disgraceful problems with homelessness.
As home prices continue to rise in most U.S. housing markets, middle class American households are stretching their budgets to the limit. In some of the hottest real estate markets, consumers continue to pay rent, often because they cannot find a house they can afford to buy.
It's no secret that most new housing in the past decade has been built for wealthy buyers and investors. But now that the luxury housing market is saturated, developers and home builders are turning their sights to housing for the middle class.
In a recent study produced for the Urban Land Institute, these are the newest buzz words in real estate development circles — "attainable housing."
The Attainable Housing study summarizes result of an RCLCO "survey of members of the ULI Community Development Council conducted in fall 2018," and concludes by making the case for new housing construction to serve middle income Americans.
The report also offers insight into the HOA-industry's political agenda and business plan in light of consumer backlash against high density housing.
What is Attainable Housing?
As defined in Attainable Housing: Challenges, Perceptions, & Solutions, "Attainable housing" is "for-sale housing serving moderate income working families." Specifically, it includes housing built for households earning 80-120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).
(By contrast, "affordable housing" is defined as housing for rent or for sale, where monthly housing costs do not exceed 30 percent of income. Much of the "affordable housing" in the U.S. is built for rent. Developers and nonprofits usually take advantage of a combination of tax credits, government grants, payment vouchers and housing subsidies to ensure a positive cash flow for stakeholders.)
The study suggests that attainable housing, built without tax incentives and subsidies, can be profitable for developers, due to "untapped" high demand.
Key facts highlighted in the study:
- For more than 30 years, home prices have risen faster than household incomes
- Since 1967, the top 20% of earners saw a much larger increase in income than middle income earners.
- In 1967, the top 20% tier was 2.5 times median income. By 2017, the top tier earned 3.5 time median income.
- The supply of newly-built homes at lower price points decreased significantly over the past decade and a half.
- In 2019, only 12.9 percent of new homes are priced below $200,000, compared to 54.6 percent of new homes fifteen years ago.
- Not surprisingly, prices of new construction homes are much higher than prices of existing homes. In October 2018, according to Census data, the median price of a new home was $325,100, and the median price of an existing home was $257,500.
- 60% of households consist of one or two persons, yet more than 50% of new housing consists of larger 4-bedroom homes.
Attainable Housing "solutions"
The RCLCO/ULI study recommends selling the following four types of attainable housing.
- Small homes, defined as less than 1800 square feet.
- "Value" housing, with a few standard construction and design choices, and economies of scale. (Historically, consumers call these "cookie cutter" homes.)
- "Missing Middle" attached housing including "duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, courtyard buildings, bungalow courts, townhouses, multiplexes, and live/work buildings."
- High-density detached "cluster" homes.
These "solutions" continue to emphasize master planned communities with common ownership, governed by homeowners or condominium associations.
Home buyers should note that most new townhouse and "cluster" home communities are organized as condominium associations, with only collective land ownership. In other words, you own the house — even if it's completely detached — but you do not own the yard or the driveway.
Essentially, the "attainable" housing agenda is yet another push for high density, HOA-governed housing. The only notable difference is that there's far less emphasis on stacked condominiums than in the years leading up to the recession of 2008.
RCLCO includes some statistics from its consumer survey of 3,400 home buyers with incomes of $50,000 or more, to support ULI's proposed strategies.
Like surveys conducted for Community Associations Institute, the RCLCO survey sample is limited to a specific consumer segment, and not necessarily representative of the actual market.
Selling home buyers on smaller and attached homes in densely packed planned communities
RCLCO's Attainable Housing report isn't written for housing consumers. It's written for influential stakeholders in the real estate industry.
But that's exactly why a savvy home buyer should read this 32-page report!
It provides the reader with an insider's view at the sales and marketing strategy of the HOA real estate industry.
For example, on page 13, note the paragraph on "Lifestyle-choice messaging," which instructs developers and home builders to sell home buyers on "walkability" of the community and "maintenance-free living," presumably by a homeowners' or condo association.
Benefits for developers and home builders
On page 13, check out the reference to "land entitlement." That's industry lingo for obtaining local government approval for development plans. Developers and builders are encouraged to purchase vacant lots in established communities, preferably with approved zoning changes and permits.
Clearly, the target audience of this publication is the deep-pocketed, large scale developer and home builders. The assumption is that it will take a decade or more to build out a master planned community.
And the report assumes that planned communities will remain under developer control for many years, even generations. That's why the strategy mentions "move-up" and "move-down" opportunities within the same community.
ULI Report is all about HOAs, but never uses the word
The interesting thing about the ULI Attainable Housing report is that it doesn't mention the terms "homeowners association" or "condominium association" at all.
Yet nearly every proposed housing option and case study mentioned in the report is HOA-governed.
Curiously, the report does not discuss the possibility amenities preferred by home buyers (according to the RCLCO survey) do not have to be incorporated into association-governed common interest developments.
The list of community amenities includes:
- Fitness centers
- Gated entry
- Trails
- Package receiving
- Resort pool (lounge)
- Art and culture, such as concerts, food, wine
- Farmers market
- Dog park
- Sports courts
- Pocket parks
- Virtual services, such as community intranet
- Lap pool / Children's pool
- Maker spaces Community garden
- Golf
With the exception of "gated entries," all of the amenities on the list can be offered by city or state parks, private businesses, or nonprofit organizations. There's no need to sell buyers on community amenities, mandatory HOA fees with perpetual liens, and Restrictive Covenants.
Just think how much more affordable housing would be without mandatory HOA, condo, and amenity fees, on top of mortgage payments, taxes, and homeowners' insurance.
Tomorrow's post will delve a bit further into the HOA-industry's affordability myths. ♦

B. Those Subject to the General Church
1. Identification
5350. The General Church exercises jurisdiction in matters of church discipline over established districts. The General Church has full authority in all matters over developing and provisional districts (Disc. 1003–1034). The General Church may also assume jurisdiction over a local church under some circumstances (5315).
2. Discipline Without a Hearing
5355. Any charge or complaint against an established district (or against a local church over which the General Church has assumed jurisdiction) alleging an offense set forth in 5006 shall be submitted in writing to the General Superintendent. The General Superintendent, together with the General Board or its Executive Board, shall make every effort to clear up such accusations or charges so as to effect an amicable resolution (5004–5018) before any unit, through its officials or board of administration, shall be brought to a hearing, unless a hearing is requested by the accused. 5360. The General Board, or, in the interim of its sessions, the Executive Board, shall have the authority to cite a district (or local church over which jurisdiction has been assumed), through its officials or its board of administration, to appear before it to show cause, why it should not be brought to a hearing or declared to be in a state of disobedience or insubordination for an offense as set forth in 5010. Such a citation shall set forth a clear and definite statement of the charges and any supporting facts or evidence and shall be signed by the General Superintendent and secretary of the General Board, so that the accused may be properly informed of the grounds of the accusation. The order shall be served upon both the chief officer and the secretary of the accused. Should the hearing before the General Board or its Executive Board result in a satisfactory resolution of the matter, with the accused pledging its loyalty to the denomination, no further steps shall be taken.
3. Discipline Involving a Hearing
5365. When the above procedure does not bring about an amicable settlement in the opinion of the General Board, or should the cited officials fail or refuse to appear, an accusation and specifications for offenses as listed in 5010 shall be prepared and submitted in writing (5022) to the General Superintendent and must be sustained by at least three members of The Wesleyan Church. The General Board may appoint or authorize its Executive Board to appoint a general judicial committee, with the chair appointed by the General Superintendent. The findings of the general judicial committee shall be reported to the General Board. A two-thirds majority vote of all members of the general judicial committee shall be required for a verdict of guilty. If the accused district is found guilty of an offense(s), the General Board, by a two-thirds vote of all its members, may place a district found guilty under discipline and suspend all its rights and privileges as a district under the Constitution, or other provisions of The Discipline, and may thereupon appoint the General Superintendent or other person to have charge of the district (Disc. 360:3c, e; cf. 1655:42). If it is a local church which is found guilty, the General Board by a majority vote may place the church under suspension and appoint a designated authority to have charge. Such suspension shall continue until the unit under discipline shall, through its officials, offer a written apology acknowledging its guilt and giving assurance of its loyalty to the denomination and shall also give evidence that the offense has ceased, whereupon the General Board shall end the suspension and reinstate the unit (cf. Disc. 1655:44). A district under discipline shall also be suspended from all rights to acquire, purchase, mortgage, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any real property, unless approved by the designated authority appointed to have charge of the district. 5370. An appeal (5062-5068) may be taken by the accused district or local church concerning the verdict and/or the discipline to the General Board of Review. All appeals must be filed with the Executive Director of Communication and Administration within sixty days after the date of the official decision on the matter.
4. Reorganization
5375. Whenever a district under discipline refuses to offer a written apology and assurance of loyalty as set forth in 5365, or whenever the district officials refuse to answer a citation to appear (5360), the General Board or its Executive Board may authorize the General Superintendent to reorganize the district (Disc. 1655:44). The General Superintendent shall ask for an affirmation of loyalty. Those members and ministers of the district who affirm their loyalty to The Wesleyan Church shall be and constitute the district. Those covenant members and ministers of the district who refuse to affirm such loyalty to The Wesleyan Church shall be declared by the General Superintendent as having withdrawn from The Wesleyan Church, and all offices held by such persons shall thereupon be vacated. Those who are thus declared to be the covenant members and ministers of the district shall be entitled to hold and to use all the district property in the manner as set forth in The Discipline and shall be organized to carry on the work of the district. Should the number of loyal ministers and covenant members be fewer than that required for an established district, the district shall be reclassified by the General Board as a provisional district or developing district as the case may be (cf. Disc. 1034; 1042-1045). 5380. If a minister who has been declared withdrawn from the district because of refusal to affirm loyalty to The Wesleyan Church shall desire to be restored, this person may be restored as provided for in 5230-5245. 5385. If a local church whose matter has been assumed by the General Church and has been placed under discipline does not respond appropriately in a reasonable time, the General Superintendent may authorize the district superintendent responsible to reorganize the local church in keeping with 5320.

Worthy Goals for Access to College
THIS week President Clinton sends to Congress two bills that promise big changes in the way students pay for a college education. The president's objectives have merit.
Announced on Friday, the National Service Plan is driven by the twin ideals of expanding access to higher education and fostering a sense of community responsibility. Open to people at least 17 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent, the plan would grant $5,000 toward tuition in exchange for one year of full-time public service work. The maximum grant: $10,000 for two years' service. While working, participants would earn $4.25 an hour, 85 percent of which would be paid by the federal governm ent, the rest by state or local agencies. States would be allocated "slots" based on population, which they would assign to specific projects. State and federal governments would monitor the program for fraud or abuse.
According to the College Board, the average annual cost of a college education at a four-year public college hit $7,584 in the 1991-92 school year, or $30,336 for four years. A $10,000 grant would clearly make that expense more manageable.
The second bill seeks to reform the federally insured student-loan program, for the most part by eliminating middlemen: Students apply for the loan, the school determines the level of aid, as it does now, and the federal Education Department writes the check. The loan repayment schedule would be determined by salary and could be collected through payroll deductions.
This approach is designed to cut costs. Defaults on student loans run at about $3 billion a year, and the government subsidizes banks and other lenders to keep interest rates below market levels. Initially, the government would fund the program through bonds; ultimately, it is to pay for itself.
Both programs would be phased in, taking full effect in 1997. Advocates should be willing to stretch that period if problems arise. They also should give serious consideration to alternatives: The Coalition of Student Loan Reform, whose members have a stake in the current system, has offered a plan that seeks to meet objections to the current program without cutting the private sector's role.

Pre-Basel 2015: Breitling Unveils The Pilot's Smart Watch, The B55 Connected
Breitling will soon introduce the B55 Connected, a multifunction pilot's chronograph that offers smart phone connectivity to control the watch and transfer data to the phone.
Based on the Breitling B50 multifunction digital pilot's watch, the B55 Connected is the latest in a long line of digital pilot's watches that started 30 years ago. Less a smart watch than a multifunction wristwatch with a wireless connectivity app (with a logo on the dial to remind you) the B55 can link to a smart phone. Various functions on the watch like setting the time or alarm can be controlled from the phone, while data recorded on the watch, flight times for instance, can be uploaded onto the smart phone. Less a smart watch that a pilot's chronograph with a wireless connection, the B55 has all the typical functions of Breitling's digital aviator watches: countdown and count-up features, chronograph, mission timer, second time zone and alarm. These are all controlled by the crown or pushers. Despite being a low tech smart watch compared to something like the Apple Watch, the B55 has a sophisticated quartz movement.
It's based on the movement inside the B50, Breitling's most advanced multifunction timepiece. A COSC certified "Superquartz" calibre, the movement is a temperature compensated quartz made by ETA. These high-end quartz movements automatically account for the effect of temperature on the frequency of the quartz crystals inside, giving them an accuracy within a second a month. An average quartz movements runs to about five to ten times that range.
The case is diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated titanium, with a blue rubber strap. To distinguish this from the unconnected B50, a wireless logo is emblazoned somewhat clumsily on the dial. Pricing will be announced at Baselworld 2015.Back to top.

The flag of the Bahamas includes a black triangle located at the lift with three horizontal aquamarines. Implemented in 1973 to substitute the British Red Ensign defaced with the symbol of the Top Community of the Bahama Isles, it has been the flag of the land of the Bahamas since the country obtained freedom that year. The style of the existing flag integrated the components of various distribution made in a countrywide competition for a new flag before freedom.
The British first came in what is now the modern-day Bahamas in 1647, when the Eleutheran Outdoorsmen – British spiritual refugees from Barbados – came and developed the first Western agreement on Hawaii. Roughly two years later around 1666, the isle of New Windfall became flooded with cutthroat buccaneers, who converted the area into a secure home for bandits. The British under Woodes Rogers – who formerly proved helpful as a privateer and later, became the first Governor of the Bahamas – gradually covered up piracy on Hawaii and renewed order, and the Bahamas became a crown colony of the U. S. Empire within its northeastern kingdom in 1717.
The Bahama Isles were provided "internal autonomy" in 1964. Four years later, the Contemporary Generous Celebration (PLP) – which endorsed freedom from Great England – won the first legal elections organized in the area. After the PLP obtained a rise in assistance during the 1972 elections, the area began discussions on a plan for freedom. A search for a countrywide flag began soon after, with a competition being organized to figure out the new style. Instead of selecting a single successful style, it was made the decision that the new flag was to be a combination of the components from various distribution. It was first hoisted at nighttime on this summer 10, 1973, the day the Bahamas became an separate country. The new country also modified its name from the Bahama Isles to the Bahamas upon freedom.
The colors of the flag bring social, governmental, and local definitions. The yellow-colored refers to the fantastic sand on the islands' seashores – as well as other key land-based organic resources–while the aquamarine epitomizes the sea around the country. The black represents the "strength" "vigor, and force" of the Bahamian people, while the instructed triangular brings up their "enterprising and determined" characteristics growing the numerous organic sources on the area and in the sea.

Workplace Solutions How to optimise your control cabinet construction – Part 1
Control cabinet construction makes up a considerable part of mechanical engineering. In times of increasing international competition and rising cost pressure, manufacturers of control cabinets need to coordinate their processes in a holistic and optimised manner. Only then can they react flexibly to inquiries and ensure speedy production even for batch sizes of 1.
In our series "How to optimise your control cabinet construction", six complementary articles illustrate the optimisation potential in the entire process chain of modern control cabinet construction: from the planning phase and standardisation approaches to automated and semi-automated solutions. The focus is on the individual requirements of today's users - from medium-sized companies to large enterprises.
Companies that want to ensure their international competitiveness need to design all processes involved in control cabinet construction as ideal as possible. The study "Control cabinet construction 4.0" published by the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units ISW of the University of Stuttgart, highlights the importance of an optimal design. According to the study, project planning and circuit diagram construction tie up more than 50% of the working time involved in the planning phase of conventional control cabinet construction. Other major time sinks are wiring and mechanical assembly - taken together, they account for over 70% of total working time.
Nowadays, control cabinet manufacturers are confronted with huge challenges. Increasing demands on quality as well as cost pressure coupled with a lack of skilled personnel, increased documentation requirements, small batch sizes and ever shorter delivery times are creating additional pressure.
A certain degree of planning uncertainty is added to these challenges. If, for instance, modifications to the control cabinet structure have to be carried out at short notice, the time required for designing new circuit diagrams can increase unless the measures are divided into functional units. Should the requirements on the control cabinet change after completion of the planning stage, the engineering process is stalled because the system has to be altered during construction. Therefore, it is essential to identify solutions that make processes in control cabinet construction more cost-effective and provide holistic benefits.
The key to competitiveness is to increase efficiency in control cabinet construction.
Optimised processes reduce expenses
Productivity in control cabinet construction can only be improved if all aspects of the process are taken into account - i.e. planning, installation and commissioning. If these time-consuming processes can be streamlined, the cost situation automatically improves. With an hourly wage of 68 euros, the average labour costs for engineering a circuit diagram are particularly high - according to the VDMA (German Engineering Federation) they amount to 38 euros in production.
Standardization and automation, as well as solutions that span across processes, are proven means of leveraging this potential for optimisation. During the design and engineering stages, for instance, it is possible to create function-oriented circuit diagrams, predefine recurring function modules or use prefabricated partial circuits. This reduces working time from an average of 32 to 23 hours - additional optimisation measures such as automated wiring can further reduce the average time requirements by up to three hours. An additional advantage is the quality improvement of the construction.
Practice-oriented solutions
For this reason, the solutions recommended by providers start at precisely these points. Although the individual terminal block or the appropriate tool are important, it is the overall process that determines the outcome. All sub-areas have to be optimally aligned with the overall process. This can be done with the help of a marking software connected to the CAE system that can be used to implement intelligent, automated component marking. It could also be realised with a configurator that supports the user in planning and configuring and, of course, also interacts with the CAE system. Automated and digitised processes that support cabinet manufacturers by providing simplicity, speed and reliability generate benefits and concrete added value.
One basis for the standardising manufacturing processes is the digital consistency of all data. The second part of the series shows how this not only simplifies engineering, but also significantly improves planning reliability.

text: January 15th 2007. Researchers say they've found another reason why video games are so hard to give up: They may help fulfill basic psychological needs. In a study published in the January issue ofMotivation and Emotion, investigators from the University of Rochester and Immersyve Inc. looked at what motivated 1,000 gamers to keep playing video games. "We think there's a deeper theory than the fun of playing," lead investigator Richard Ryan, a motivational psychologist at Rochester, said in a prepared statement. The gamers were divided into four groups, each asked to play different games. They answered questionnaires both before and after playing the games. The researchers used the questionnaires to look at the underlying motives and satisfactions that can spark players' interests and sustain them during play.
