We all probably have at least 2 or 3 of these floating around in our bags or homes. Portable USB drives are very useful but have been plagued by several issues. In the past they've been expensive, slow, low capacity, and not as "plug n' play" as they should be. The entire purpose of these drives is to store and transfer data with portable machines, so compatibility is mandatory.
The My Passport Essential SE helps all of these issues with its maximum 1tb capacity, improved USB interfaces for more reliable compatibility between machines, faster USB2 and USB3 interfaces, and with a $109 price on Amazon a very decent price for 1tb of portable storage.
Now that they're offering USB3 models it makes absolutely no sense to save the $5 and get a USB2 model. You might not have USB3 ports today, but your next machine will surely have USB3 and the speed increase is considerable. Instead of the 15-20mbps of USB2, you can max out these drives with at nearly 50-60mbps with USB3. USB3 devices are backwards compatible with USB2 devices.
These are perhaps a ½" wider and ½" less in length than many of the other like units on the market. The weight is small, the high impact plastic case promises extreme toughness, and there is even a small blue activity light. Small rubber feet keep the unit from sliding around on your desk.
WD SmartWare
This included software lets you manage your 1tb of space with several useful features from fully automatic backup to error checking. You don't need to use the software, but it's nice that it's included.
Password Protection
These drives can password encrypt your data on the fly. Pretty nice, but don't lose your password!
This is where it really matters. First, I can tell you that this drive automatically and easily connected, on the first try, to over 8 different machines I tried it with. This is the only USB powered drive I've tried with this level of compatibility.
Data transfer speeds depend on what type of data you're transferring, but speeds in excess of 55-60mbps are possible with the USB3 model. A huge improvement over USB2 models.
Power is supplied via the single USB cable/port used for data and works fine.
This is the easy part of this review. There isn't anything not to like about this drive. It's small, it's tough, it's fast, and it's lightweight. Best of all it's 100% compatible with everything I've connected it to. And it's cheap. What else could you ask for?
A three year warranty? Okay, it's yours. It comes with three year warranty and they have service centers in most major countries including Thailand. On several occasions WD USA has allowed me to transfer my warranty to Thailand and I've received full coverage.

Certificate of Incorporation and Common Seal of IMC
If the Permanent Secretary approves the draft constitution and the list of proposed managers of the proposed IMC, she shall issue the certificate of incorporation. At the same time, the name of the IMC, together with the name, tenure of office and category of each manager will be entered in the Register of IMCs.
A certificate of incorporation is evidence that the IMC is duly established under the Ordinance. With effect from the date of incorporation specified in the certificate of incorporation, the supervisor of the school shall cease to be the supervisor, all managers of the school who hold office as such immediately before that date shall cease to be managers of the school, and the IMC shall be established as a body corporate with perpetual succession.
The IMC established under the Ordinance is a body corporate with perpetual succession, be capable of suing and being sued in its name and, subject to the Ordinance, of doing such other acts and things as bodies corporate may lawfully do. For example, the IMC will be the employer of teachers and it may enter into contracts with service contractors and suppliers regarding school management.
|The IMC shall have an English name and a Chinese name in the form of the registered name of the school. Besides, the IMC shall have a common seal and a registered office.
Download : Points to Note for the Name and Common Seal of IMC (16 KB)
Related Provisions:
(Section 40 BN) Incorporation (For operating school)
(Section 40 BO) Effect of certificate of incorporation (For operating school)
(Section 40 BX) Incorporation (For planned school)
(Section 40 BY) Effect of certificate of incorporation (For planned school)
Under what circumstances could the IMC use the common seal?
The IMC shall use the common seal for situations agreed by IMC through resolution. Before making decision, the IMC should consider the nature and importance of the issue, e.g. important contract or agreement which must be authenticated by signatures of the supervisor and one other authorized manager for its validity. The IMC should also consider the arrangement of authorizing one school manager and the supervisor to authenticate the document by signatures when using the common seal.
What is the difference between affixing a common seal and a school chop?
A document affixed with a common seal shall be authenticated by the signatures of the supervisor of the school and one other manager authorized by the IMC to act for that purpose. However, such authentication is not required for the affixing of s school chop.

text: My BelovedThere was a time in my youth, When Islam was only a custom. They said, "Say La Ilaha Illallah,.... And pray, you'll go to Heaven." Ah, how simple, no struggle in this, Just a word, and simple act. Thereafter I'm absorbed in this world again, With my 'assured' place in Paradise intact. But this was not to be my fate For Allah chose to guide my heart. I learnt of a man who struggled so hard When his mission was from the start. The story of someone who had morals, Spoke gently, kindness he knew. Never fearing to say what's right, His conviction in ISLAM was true. The touch of his hand was as soft as silk To comfort a crying child. To mend his clothes or do the chores, Never complaining, he always smiled. A living he made with his bare hands, The same that held his mighty sword. Valor shone from the edge of his blade. His smell was always of musk, And cleanliness he kept at his best. Stark contrast with the heroes of today, Who stink of beer and sweat. He held the hands of his companions. Unashamed to play with many children. So modest, so humble, a perfect example, That strangers could not recognize him. His eyes slept little for nights that were precious, His prayers he treasured much greater. To pray Tahajjud in the depths of night, Seeking forgiveness, and nearness to his Creator. He broke his tooth for me at Uhud, And bled for me at Ta'if. He cried for me, tears of concern, Just so I could have this belief His enemies admired his teachings, Uniting every religion, every clan. Till ISLAM came to every corner of the world, O, but indeed he was only a man To own a house or build his wealth, Was not his main priority. To establish ISLAM was more essential, To bring us under a Higher Authority. Don't you want him to plea for your case, When before Allah-The-Judge, you stand? Don't you wish to be around his fountain, A burning desire to drink from his hand?

28th Annual S.T.E.P. Purchasing – July 15-19, 2019
S.T.E.P. Purchasing provides a centralized location for manufacturers to introduce new products and programs into the distributor marketplace. Both NMDA and non-NMDA members may attend S.T.E.P., held annually. If you are not an NMDA member and would like attend, email us.
The event will be moving to the Embassy Suites by Hilton O'Hare (Rosemont), IL. The hotel, which was recently renovated, will be a great fit for our event. The hotel is near the Rosemont Entertainment District (home to a variety of restaurants & bars) and across the street from Gibson's, Morton's and many other fine restaurants.
Information about S.T.E.P. will be sent to distributors in April and to our manufacturing and manufacturers' reps in late April or early May. Please do NOT book appointments early as the actual time slots for meetings have not been confirmed.
S.T.E.P. Purchasing 2018 Was a Success
We received so many great comments about S.T.E.P. 2018 and the value it delivers to all of our members. In addition to the meetings, we host cocktail receptions and other opportunities to network and share experiences.
NMDA tried some new things this year including a New Product Showcase in partnership with Soundings Trade Only. This event provided our manufacturers the opportunity to showcase their latest new products and our distributors and manufacturers' reps, the first chance to see them. Nine companies participated in this FREE option: MATE USA, Power Products LLC, Uflex USA, Inc., Sea-Dog Line, Thetford Marine, Attwood Swivel-Eze, Taco Metals., Inc., SeaStar Solutions and Caframo Limited. We are planning on doing the New Product Showcase next year and encourage more manufacturers to participate. We are grateful to Michele Goldsmith for the support we received from Soundings Trade Only for our NMDA S.T.E.P. conference.
We also had a record number of 60 companies post banners in the hotel space to showcase their meeting rooms. The photo below shows only one wall of the banners.
Our Annual Meeting Speaker was Attorney Eugene F. Zelek, Jr., who discussed minimum resale price (MRP) and minimum advertised price (MAP) policies for the marine products. Due to the explosive growth of online sales in the marine products aftermarket there has been corrosive price competition among traditional sellers and those with lower costs of doing business. This leads to resale price erosion that jeopardizes brand value and reseller viability, causing resellers to pressure manufacturers to shore up reseller margins with more trade funds or otherwise address the problem. We have a link to that presentation on our Members Only page.
On Wednesday, we announced the Supplier of the Year Award Winners. Click here to see the full list.
S.T.E.P Training – Tentatively Scheduled for 2020
S.T.E.P. Training is NOT a purchasing event. S.T.E.P Training offers a unique event to learn about the features/benefits of specific products and the best ways to sell them–directly from the manufacturers. S.T.E.P. Training is held every other year.
Supplier of the Year
Awarded annually by the Distributor members of NMDA, the award recognizes those companies who meet and exceed the standards and goals set by the Supplier of the Year committee. All finalists receive valuable ratings and evaluations from distributor customers.

Return of the King
This Sunday, as we continue our exposition of 2 Samuel, we will begin to deal with the aftermath of David's victory over Absalom.
After hearing of Absalom's death, David is paralyzed by grief. He neglects his kingly duties and brings shame upon the loyal men who risked their lives to return him to the throne.
Joab sternly rebukes David who finally emerges from his funk and attends to the matters of his kingdom.
David's grief raises the question of how much should we mourn, especially in the case of a loved one who dies in unbelief.
What can we say to those who have experienced such a loss?
David then goes about the challenging task of trying to reunite his divided kingdom. Tensions among the tribes of Israel appear to be intensifying.
Does David act wisely?
We also will seek to show how our text points to David's greater Son, Jesus, of whom David serves as a type.
Read 2 Samuel 19:1-15. How would you point to Christ through this text?

This information relates to the C19 Roundtable Presentation "Black Authored, Self-Published" in 2018. Much of the bibliography was compiled by Elizabeth Pope (American Antiquarian Society) and Christy Pottroff (Merrimack College). Roundtable participants included Marcy J. Dinius, Tara Bynum, Elizabeth Pope, Whitney Stewart, Norah Slonimsky, and Christy Pottroff.
Black Authored, Self-Published
No publishing house--secular or religious, Northern or Southern--would print the radical liberation theology of David Walker's An Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World (1829). Even the most progressive publisher would have found Walker's aggressive confrontation of whites over slavery and racism, and his defense of violent resistance to slavery risky to produce under their publishing house imprint. And yet, despite the many exclusions of the literary marketplace, three editions of the Appeal were printed during Walker's lifetime, and these pamphlets were distributed and read throughout the United States. Walker's Appeal found life because he published it himself. Walker was far from alone in the practice of self-publication. Over one hundred African American authors self-published their books, narratives, pamphlets, and other texts in the nineteenth century. This roundtable brings together literary scholars, historians, and archivists who are working to recover self-publication and to consider how this historical practice mounts a challenge to conventional understandings of race and literary professionalism in the antebellum book market.
Self-published books (often demarcated "Printed/Published for the Author" in their front matter) diverge from conventional models of nineteenth-century textual production in two meaningful ways. First, authors who adopted this method had no mediating editor or publisher to censor or shape the content of their books. Second, authors who self-published their books were often responsible for their own textual distribution, and generally, their texts reached readers through channels outside established bookstores and sellers. By considering self-publication categorically, roundtable participants will ask: how do self-published, black-authored texts differ from those published by abolitionist editors? How are they the same? What is the relationship between politics and publication?
As an exercise in critical bibliography, roundtable participants will compile a comprehensive list of self-published texts by African American authors in advance of the conference. The scope of this bibliography--containing familiar names like Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and David Walker alongside all-but-forgotten texts by William Hayden and Louisa Picquet--will challenge the expectation that African American literature was something that was always mediated and produced through white structures of power. Not only will this roundtable take a fresh approach to underexamined material, but participants will also establish a historically-informed approach from which these texts might be better understood.

For many people, the term Contact Center relates to sales calls and telemarketers. There are so many avenues that a contact center can be of assistance within a company that do not pertain to sales calls. A contact center can provide customer support, information technology support, and much more. The key to having a great customer experience using a contact center is in the training. A well trained contact center can be the difference between gaining more customers and losing customers. Customers want a well-educated agent when they contact a business. They want to know that the person answering their questions knows what they are talking about. Training your staff, and giving them the information that is needed to effectively assist your customer base is paramount.
With our "Contact Center Training" course, your participants will discover the basic elements of being an effective employee of a contact center.

We investigate the benefits that multiple modalities bring to the problems of target and self localization in sensor networks. Specifically,our work focuses on coupling motes equipped with magnetometers with cameras.
We first looked at how feedback from cameras can be used to calibrate the magnetometers. In our model the magnetic field signal strength follows a power law with unknown exponent beta. The goal of the calibration process is to estimate the value of beta. The process works as follows: Motes use trilateration to estimate the position of the target. This information is then passed to the cameras which locate the actual position of the target. We then solve a non-linear optimization problem to minimize the distance between the target's actual location and the location estimated using the magnetometer measurements. Our simulation results show that the estimation process converges in a small number of iterations.
Next, we designed an integrated system for target tracking using cameras and magnetometers. The proposed system initially uses two pre-calibrated, PTZ cameras to localize the network's motes. To do so, each mote is equipped with a LED and the cameras scan the scene until they both have the LED at their center of view. Then, the camera angles are used to estimate the location of the mote through a generalized triangulation formulation. Note that we do not require that the locations of the cameras are known. Once the mote locations are known, cameras go to sleep to conserve energy. The motes then collaborate to estimate the location of the target using their non-imaging sensor (i.e. magnetometers). Once a target is located, the cameras are cued to capture an image of the target. We have evaluated the performance of the self- and target-localization mechanisms through simulation and implementation on a small testbed using MicaZ motes. Details of these results can be found on our ISSNIP paper.

Mayor's Office
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) has received a report of a fourth case of West Nile virus (WNV) in Lancaster County, and officials remind residents to take steps to prevent bites from mosquitoes, which could carry the virus.
"In September, we usually see an increase in the number of Culex mosquitoes, known for their transmission of the WNV," said John Chess, LLCHD. "We want to encourage everyone in Lincoln and Lancaster County to 'Fight the Bite' by staying inside during dusk and dawn or wearing lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and pants. It's also important to use EPA-registered insect repellents, such as those containing DEET, Picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus."
Chess urged those using insect repellents to follow these general precautions:
LLCHD also asks the public to help reduce the breeding areas for mosquitoes by eliminating standing pools of water:
Most people who become infected with WNV do not develop any symptoms. About one in five will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea or rash. Most people with this type of WNV recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months.
Less than one percent who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness, such as encephalitis or meningitis, the inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues. The symptoms of neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures or paralysis. People over age 60 are at the greatest risk for severe disease, but it can occur at any age. Also at great risk are those with medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension and kidney disease and those who have received organ transplants. Recovery from severe disease may take several weeks or months, and some of the neurologic effects may be permanent. The death rate for those who develop neurologic infection due to WNV is about 10 percent.

Two groups of fifth grade SAYA youth at PS 124 recently concluded courses that taught them STEM and the application of math and science outside of the classroom. The first group participated in a 17-week course on the architecture of skyscrapers. Thanks to a generous grant from Con Edison, 20 youth participated in the weekly class, the curriculum for which was provided by the Salvadori Center. Youth learned how to identify different designs and architectural elements present in skyscrapers and, for their final project, applied concepts such as proportion, scale, and building function to designing and constructing their own modular unit skyscraper.
The second group participated in a digital architecture course, provided in partnership with Marquis Studio. These youth learned what goes into the design and building of homes and robots, and how digital models are used in doing so.
Both groups recently presented their final projects to their peers and teachers at an end of year showcase. Below are some youth reflections from these courses, and photos from the skyscrapers class.
"This class was an amazing experience, and I would love to do it again. We learned how to make skyscrapers, and about length, width, volume, and scale. I loved our teacher." - Emmanuella
"I learned that architects use 3D models to plan houses. We used different tools to build houses and robots, and math helped me so I knew what size everything had to be. Now I want to make and design toys when I grow up." - Ethan
"The activities were a lot of fun and I got to learn a lot. I learned how to build a skyscraper using straws and jacks, and an area model. The teacher was a good instructor and she helped us when we needed it." - Savanna
"It was fun and I liked making the robots and the beach house. It was fun and I got to learn about different things." - Vianny
"I learned how to connect and work with my team members." - Julie

App of the month
By Joanne Madeley
The reason why I love events is I always get to learn something new, no matter how big or small, extending my knowledge is something I welcome.
Whilst working on a charity fundraising evening in London last week, we needed a quick and efficient way to take card payments. Very few people tend to carry cash around with them, even if they are intending to donate to charity so we needed a reliable system that would be easy to use.
World Pay was the chosen app for a numbers of reasons; we loved that it would accept payments anywhere with mobile network coverage, it accepts all major credit or debit cards as well as only taking seconds to process. If you require a receipt this can also be completed in seconds, being sent to a mobile phone number or email address.
Bluetooth connects the World Pay handset to whatever device your using, computer, tablet or phone. The system works much faster using WiFi but will function off 4G alone in order to transfer the payment.
It really is as simple as that, quick and easy to use and looks sleek in front of guests, we would certainly recommend.

The 2019 timetable offers a variety of service improvements for passengers – in the Zurich area and Eastern Switzerland, customers will be able to enjoy faster connections and shorter journey times. In French-speaking Switzerland, the first stage of the Léman Express represents a milestone. The new long-distance double-deck trains (LD double-decker) on the East-West corridor will offer customers greater comfort and more seats. The upgrade work will also get under way at Lake Zug East in the 2019 timetable year. This will lead to changes to services for north-south traffic from mid-2019.

Our loaders are priced at $1,790, before shipping or taxes. This price excludes 2305 and 2210 models.

These models require additional brackets, so they are priced at $1,890.
What about the 400, 420, 430 model?
For these models, the mowing deck must be removed, and a frame extender is required for the 430.
Do I need to know anything specific if I'm ordering for JD X models?
Yes, two things: 1) We recommend replacing the pressure relief valve on the hydraulic unit so as to avoid any transmission problems. 2) Check our our weight bar and weight basket accessories before you purchase your loader.
Do you ship to Canada?
At this time, we ship to limited areas in Canada to commercial addresses only.
How much is shipping and what is the difference between commercial vs. residential?
For commercial shipping ($190 to most places in the continental U.S.), we use Fastenal 3PL, which means your loader will arrive at your local Fastenal store (assuming they have a forklift—email us with questions) for you to pick up. Find your nearest Fastenal store and enter that detail when you place your order.
If you select residential shipping ($350), this means you will need liftgate service for the pallet to be delivered to your home. For residential delivery, the shipping company will schedule a delivery appointment with you.
Are sales taxes applicable to me?
Only if you are an Illinois resident or picking up the loader in person.
Which forms of payment will you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, personal checks, and PayPal.
How do I go about picking up a loader in person?
Please contact us and allow 24 hour lead time to pick up your loader. We'll schedule the pick up with you at our factory, located at 228 West Page Street, in Sycamore, IL.

We typically ship each week on Tuesdays/Thursdays. Orders received by Thursday will ship the following Tuesday, and orders received by Tuesday will ship on Thursday. We'll email you with a tracking number when your loader ships. Please allow for 5-7 business days from shipping to receive your loader.

Delecia Annette Waddy
Waddy, circa 2017; Tattoos on Waddy's shoulder and wrist
- Missing Since 03/09/2017
- Missing From Doswell, Virginia
- Classification Missing
- Age 24 years old
- Height and Weight 5'1, 145 pounds
- Clothing/Jewelry Description A black and white tank top or halter top, black pants with white stripes on the sides, a multicolored baseball cap and no shoes.
- Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Black hair, hazel eyes. Waddy has multiple tattoos, including hearts on both sides of her collarbone, leopard spots on one arm at the shoulder, a tattoo on the side of her chest and a tattoo around her wrist. A photo of some of that tattoos is posted with this case summary. Her ears and one side of her nose are pierced.
Details of DisappearanceWaddy disappeared from the Kings Dominion Camp Wilderness Campground in the 10000 block of Kings Dominion Boulevard in Doswell, Virginia at 11:30 a.m. on March 9, 2017. She tried to bargain for a space in the campground, but left without getting one.
Early the next morning, her silver Ford Explorer was found near the campground. It had gas and was in working order. Her cellular phone, purse, wallet, driver's license and some other belongings were found scattered behind Meadow Event Park, near her abandoned vehicle.
She had left a message on her Facebook page saying, "Its never too late to do the right thing. Don't get discouraged. (Speaking to myself also)". It's unclear what she meant by this and whether this had anything to do with her disappearance.
A massive search was launched for Waddy, but the search effort was called off when witnesses said they saw her walking in a field off Route 30 in Caroline County, Virginia. Dogs also tracked her scent to a home in Caroline, Virginia. She was sighted on Fendall Avenue in Richmond, Virginia on March 12, by an acquaintance who didn't realize she was missing at the time.
Police stated they didn't think she was in any danger, but they never actually found her, and she never made contact with her family members or friends after her disappearance. Her mother called her behavior "bizarre" and stated she had never been gone this long without contacting her family. Her case remains unsolved.

After mostly reading depressing serious reads this year, I finally picked couple of funny reads. I read "Seconds" which is a graphic novel written by Bryan Lee O'Malley who has also written Scott Pilgrim series. I watched the "Scott Pilgrim vs the world" movie and loved it so much that I ended up reading few books in that series. I was already kind of a fan of this author before I picked this book but after reading this book I am definitely his fan. This book was funny, interesting, suspenseful and entertaining.
This is a story about a girl who runs a restaurant called "Seconds". She is the main chef there but she dreams of opening a new restaurant of her own. One day she finds a mushroom which after eating gives her a chance to change her past. So she ends up changing her past, which changes her present as well. The story was so engrossing that I could not keep the book down until I was done reading it. I do not want to talk a lot about the plot as it is better to read the book without knowing the plot. I went in blindly and really enjoyed it.
All the illustrations in the book are great and in color and that made the book even more amazing as I usually see that big graphic novels tend to have black and white sketches. There is diversity in the characters and I ended up liking all the characters. The story was equally good. There are some fantasy elements in the story which made it even more interesting to me.
5 thoughts on "Seconds – A graphic novel"
Thanks for the nice review. I will look for this book. Mr. O'Malley is multi talented. He is also a cartoonist, song writer, and musician.

Highland Hightops
leather, textiles, EVA foam, rubber
30 x 20 x 20cm
Highland Hightops were made during Greenwood's 2016 residency at Handmadelife's Project Space at Queen Victoria Market.
The title is a reference to the Scottish ancestry of Emma's father, her perennial love of tartan, and the style of the classic hightop basketball boot.
Material inspiration came in the form of an op-shop pencil case filed away in Greenwood's 'textile library'. From humble origins the pencil case has been transformed, framed by leather in the side panels, ankle collar and tongue detail.
Greenwood's ongoing intent utilises traditional techniques to elevate athletic footwear from a mass-produced, disposable product, to a highly personalised, precious, handcrafted one, thereby respecting and honouring the origins of shoemaking.

Hard on the skin and very messy
I had heard very good things about African Black Soap and was excited to try it out. I was so disappointed after using it several times and coming to the realization that it was not improving my skin at all, merely making the skin on my hands sore as well as staining the edge of my sink.
It may be that I just have the wrong skin type for this product to work well with, but if you are going to use this product be careful not to leave it on any surface that you don't want to be stained grey.

he's a puffer fish, and these amazing installations are part of his mating ritual. females are attracted to the ridges and swim into the center, where they mate and lay the eggs. here's the little guy hard at work!
he also collected shells to decorate the installation, which later would be used as nutrients for the babies. the ridges also protect the eggs from being tossed about by the underwater currents. isn't that amazing? the link has more pictures and explanation. the animal kingdom is so incredible.

New HIPAA Compliance Audit Program – The New Audit Protocol and How It Affects you
August 15 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am CDT$139
In this session we will discuss the HIPAA audit and enforcement programs and how they work, and discuss the areas that caused the most issues in prior audits. We will explore what kind of issues and what kind of entities had the most problems, and show where entities need to improve their compliance the most.
We will also explore the typical risk issues that lead to breaches of health information and see how those issues may be a target for auditors in the next round of audits.
We will review the contents of the HIPAA Audit Protocol used in 2016 to show what documentation needs to be on hand should your organization be selected for an audit in the new round.We will present methods for using the contents of the HIPAA Audit Protocol to build your own compliance plan by extracting and updating the contents and relating your compliance activities directly to the questions that might be asked.
In this session we will discuss the HIPAA audit and enforcement regulations and processes, and how they apply to HIPAA covered entities and business associates.We will explain the enforcement regulations and the new, increased fines and new penalty levels, including new penalties for willful neglect of compliance that begin at $10,000.
We will discuss what information and documentation must be prepared in advance so that you can be ready for an audit at any time, including sample information request forms and questions asked at prior audits. The session will also cover how to know if you may become the subject of an audit or enforcement action, and what you can do to help limit your exposure.We will discuss how most enforcement actions come about and what can be done to prevent incidents that lead to enforcement activity.
The HIPAA Privacy,Security, and Breach Notification regulations (and the recent changes to them) and how they will be audited will be explained. Documentation requirements for compliance will be explored and a framework of security policies necessary for compliance will be presented. The HIPAA Audit Protocol questions will be explored and ways of using the content to develop a compliance plan will be discussed. The process of exporting the questions will be shown, and a sample spreadsheet showing the results will be presented.
The results of prior HHS audits and enforcement actions (and their penalties) will be discussed, including recent actions involving multi-million dollar fines and settlements.A plan for attaining compliance will be presented. The steps to follow to prepare for an audit and respond to an audit request will be outlined.
Why Should you Attend: HIPAA Compliance requires that you be prepared to handle Protected Health Information properly and follow the requirements in the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. If there is a problem that comes to the surface, an enforcement action can result, including financial settlements that can reach into the millions of dollars, and Corrective Action Plans that can take years to complete and can cost many times the expense of the monetary settlements.
HIPAA enforcement and audits are now a significant reality, and settlements for violations are being announced more and more frequently. Now, with the increases in breach reporting and the new random audit program under way, enforcement of HIPAA is something that every HIPAA entity and business associate needs to be aware of and prepared for, by taking the proper steps in advance to have your compliance in order and the documentation to prove it.
Knowing what questions are likely to be asked and what documentation is necessary to show compliance are key to preparations for HIPAA compliance inquiries, and this session will explore a number of sets of questions and the issues they revealed, leading to enforcement action.
Every entity under the HIPAA regulations needs to know why the enforcement actions took place and what could have been done differently to prevent the violations that led to enforcement, so they can avoid those issues and their significant impact. Failure to do so can lead to financial settlements, fines, and/or corrective action plans that can severely impact your organization.
Areas Covered in the Session:
- Learn how to make the HIPAA Audit Protocol useful to you as a way to organize and track your compliance work, and collect your documentation references
- Find out what you'll need to have documented to survive an audit or compliance review and avoid fines
- Learn how to use an information security management process to evaluate risks and make decisions about how best to protect PHI and meet patient needs and desires
- Find out what policies and procedures you should have in place
- Learn about the training and education that must take place and be documented to ensure your staff uses health information properly and does not risk exposure of PHI
- Find out the steps that must be followed in the event of a breach of PHI
- Learn about how the HIPAA audit and enforcement activities are now being increased and how you must be prepared or risk significant penalties
Who Will Benefit:
- Compliance Director
- Privacy Officer
- Security Officer
- Information Systems Manager
- HIPAA Officer
- Chief Information Officer
- Health Information Manager
- Healthcare Counsel/Lawyer
- Office Manager

Bankruptcy Judge Lets Some Payments Proceed in Milwaukee Archdiocese Case
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
June 1, 2011
The Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January which impacts the more than a dozen civil fraud lawsuits over its handling of clergy sex abuse cases. As the bankruptcy proceedings continue, the judge ordered the archdiocese to file the names of victims seeking anonymity in court to be placed under seal, a requirement the church had sought to avoid.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee's mediation process for victims of clergy sex abuse came under fire in a bankruptcy hearing on Wednesday where victims characterized the process as humiliating and misleading. One woman who had been molested said, "I left there feeling like they were doing it to me again, like they were deceiving me, lying to me."

The Rewards Of Repentance
Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015 (message contributor)
Summary: The sinner must repent before they receive salvation. Those who are saved must practice repentance if they are to enjoy unbroken fellowship with God. Repentance is both negative and positive – turning away from sin – turning to God.
Matthew 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.'"
One of the greatest gifts God has given man is the ability and opportunity to repent. Without repentance we could never change to become the person God created us to be. Without repentance we would never be able to do life with God because we are fallen humans who are in continual need of forgiveness and life change. Repentance always leads to a better state and always precedes a greater measure of the Presence of God.
What is Repentance? Repentance means to turn around. It means to go 180* not 360*, to turn to God from whatever is taking His place or distracting us from Him.
That statement opens up a whole number of issues, it goes beyond obvious sin. It includes all of the man-made substitutes for God – anything that captures our attention and affection, getting a hold on us.
Webster's Dictionary says repentance should produce something – CHANGE.
Acts 17:30 NIV "He [God] commands all people everywhere to repent"
How important is repentance in the Bible?
1. John the Baptist's message – Mt 3:1-2
2. Jesus' first sermon – Mt 4:17
3. Peter's first message on the Day of Pentecost – Acts 2:38, 3:19
4. Paul preached repentance – Acts 20:21
5. Repentance is part of the Gospel - Mk 1:14,15
The sinner must repent before they receive salvation. Those who are saved must practice repentance if they are to enjoy unbroken fellowship with God.
Repentance is both negative and positive – turning away – turning to.
1. Repentance Refreshes our spirits
Acts 3:19 (Amp) "So repent – change your mind and purpose; turn around and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean) that times of refreshing – of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air – may come from the presence of the Lord"
The picture that we have here is of a person overcome with heat gasping for air, without air the physical body dies, without the breath of the Spirit (the life of God) we begin to suffocate spiritually. Repentance allows times of refreshing to come into our lives. Refreshing is the Greek medical term meaning "to heal as a result of being exposed to air". How many of us know that when we are suffering illness or pain when that is removed it is like being in another world.
2. Repentance Restores our lives
Matthew 17:11, 13 NASB "Elijah is coming and will restore all things. Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist"
Luke 1:17 John the Baptist came in "the Spirit and power of Elijah"
The Spirit of repentance brings restoration, this word in the Greek means "to recover, renew, to bring back to a better state". It speaks about something broken, not right, defective.
The dictionary definition of repentance – "To bring back to the original state"
The biblical definition of repentance – "To make better than the original"
Acts 8:17-24 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money 19 and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit." 20 Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin." 24 Then Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me."
-Peter indicated that Simon could be forgiven and restored to God's favor if he truly repented, allowing God to change his heart and his way of thinking.
-Repentance is all about change but one important step is owning up to our own offenses. Prussian king Frederick the Great was once touring a Berlin prison. The prisoners fell on their knees before him to proclaim their innocence—except for one man, who remained silent. Frederick called to him, "Why are you here?"

I am an introvert. Too be even more specific, I am an INFJ. I am not shy. I am not quiet. I am what I like to call an "extroverted introvert." When people first meet me they do not believe I am an introvert. I am outgoing, vulnerable and vocal. I am perfectly comfortable saying hard things to people. I stand up for myself. I am perfectly comfortable giving speeches and presentations in front of people.
However, what you do not see, is that after I am done talking with people, I go home and crash! Certain events take me days to recover my energy. I am happy talking with friends, but I am happier reading a book by myself. I love my family, but I could go days without talking if someone let me. I love vacations with family, but a true vacation would be me alone in a hotel room near the beach with silence and good books for a couple of days.
I feel there is a misconception, still, about introverts. That misconception is that we do not like to stand out. That we like to be wallpaper in the back corner at any professional or personal event we are attending. That is not the case. I think that most introverts see the extroverts, either on television or the internet, and think they have to be loud and bold like that type of personality to stand out in the crowd. On the contrary!
First, let's address WHY an introvert should WANT to stand out in a crowd. If you are a business owner entrepreneur at a professional event, you need to speak to and attract new clients and contacts. At a personal event, it is a great way to meet new and interesting people...even if that involves the ever painful "small talk."
Here is my secret weapon for being an introvert and still standing out in a crowd.
Yes. Plain and simple appearance. Here is how I use my outside appearance to draw clients and people toward introvert me without having to seek out someone to talk to. These are some tactics I use when I am thinking about how I would like my appearance to help me at a social event.
1. What is everyone else going to look like?
I always think about how Apple created white electronic and support products. They looked at the electronics category as a whole and noticed that everything was black...so they simply chose the complete opposite color. White. Simple change and yet they stand out in a crowd. You see someone one with white headphones and you know they are using an Apple product.
The same is true when you attend a professional or personal event. Think about what everyone else will be wearing. How will the women be dressed? How will they style their hair? Will they all be wearing the same Army green jacket, black leggings and black Hunter boots holding their Starbucks cups? I would then choose to wear a long flowy, floral print, ultra feminine dress. Choose the opposite of everyone else! GIRLS dress the same as each other in high school. WOMEN should embrace their own style and set their own trends. I HATE dressing like everyone around me...so I don't.
2. Hairstyle
How do you wear your hair? Do you have long hair and pull it back up into a topknot or pony tail every day? Do you ever wear it down? Curl it? Style it? Color it? Highlight it?
I was at Target 2 years ago during back-to-school season. I had my mousy brown medium length hair pulled back in a low bun, the same way I always styled my hair every day for I don't know how many years. I looked around. EVERY WOMEN HAD THE SAME HAIR STYLE. I made an appointment the next day and I pixie cut my hair. Simple. If I pulled it back every day, why not just cut it off!
I still have the same mousy brown hair (I am too cheap for the upkeep of coloring it) but now people recognize me and remember my name simply because they remember my short hair. I have added purple streaks to it in the past. I am considering a bright pink front streak for an upcoming women's business event. Simple. Pink hair stands out.
If coloring your hair is not your thing, think about how you can get creative with your style. Light on top, dark underneath. Long on top, shaved short and colored underneath. Beautiful highlights and one streak of brown or a color. Get creative! Hair can always be cut and always grows back.
3. Statement Piece
This is the number way I have people approach me on a regular basis and start a conversation. Choose a statement piece.
Clothing - I have a shirt that says "I eat glitter for breakfast." I have to choose NOT to wear this shirt sometimes because it draws people to me like a magnet! A simple shirt with a simple snarky statement will draw people to you. I saw a woman walking the other day while I was driving. I can not tell you what she looked like, but her shirt said "You had me at Pumpkin Spice Latte." Brilliant!
Jewelry - I have been known to wear a normal outfit, but then I will throw on one of my 5 year old daughter's crazy, big, weird, dress up rings. The crazier the better! I am very expressive and talk with my hands so everyone around me will notice the ring. That statement piece invites a conversation, which usually starts off with me talking about my beloved daughter, a subject that lights me up and I could talk about forever.
Hair accessory - Pair a normal outfit with a bold or beautiful statement hair accessory. A vintage barrette. A little girl size bow. A neon colored headband. A hat! Something that is just a little bit different.
You do not need to be "internet famous" to stand out in a crowd. You can be an introvert and still be your reserved, thinking self. Think about statement pieces that will draw people toward you. Have fun with it! A totally professional business outfit, with a snarky t-shirt under your blazer tucked into your suit pants. A totally professional outfit, with a My Little Pony purse. Get creative! People will come to you instead of you sweating and freaking out about how to initiate a conversation.
Professional and personal events do not have to be the dreaded "small talk" events that introverts envision them to be. Through a little creative pre-planning with your appearance, you will have clients, customers and potentially new friends coming to you!
"Try terrific things."
- Bob Goff
To all of you fellow introvert out there reading this post, be brave, be yourself. You are worthy of attention. You are worthy of standing out in your own way. You have stories, experiences and expertise to share with all of us!
How do you stand out in a crowd?

Prologue to THE Light of Murder
And the layers of the cosmos unfolded for him as they had for no other. Like the petals of a flower, they brushed by one another, each eager to display its particularly insane beauty. They raced passed him as his speed was great. Such was the energy of his death that it had sent him flying from the void of dead stars, past the walls of creation, and into the higher layers of the cosmos, where mad impossible forces clashed against waves of inconceivable abstract energies.
Were he alive, the man would have gone mad at the few sights he would have been able to perceive. All the invisible others would have brushed against his soul, changing him in ways he would never comprehend.
But in death he was safe. Death ferried him across these insane regions, until his momentum began to give way and his speed diminished. He was now caught in one of the petals of the cosmos, a place where a vast lattice of manifest light ran to infinities in every direction. Worlds strange and impossible sailed along this Lattice intent on fateful voyages. It was on one of these nomadic globes, that the man finally fell.
The Lightless Man
The world Lumat had existed for seven reformations of the Lattice. It had traveled the length and breadth of the pathways of that endless construct for those seven eternities. Now the light that had formed Lumat in primordial visions had grown old and dim. Its tenuous cities now so transparent as to seem invisible. Yet, great imaginary prisms still hung in the turquoise sky refracting the light below into shining emerald cloud bursts. Rolling planes of long amber waveforms clashed against turbulent seas of curved rays of red.
On one of these shores, a woman named Amphal basked in the radiance of her own being, while she contemplated the abstract rays of the red sea before her. In her mind, she played with the waves, forming them from different colors, reflecting and refracting their rays to create sights none but her would ever witness. Like all, she had seen and was seen by all that had ever existed on Lumat. She felt proud of the private world she created only in her thoughts. A measure of guilt accompanied her sense of accomplishment. Such sights she hoarded only for herself! Yet, there was little she could do. The arts of true imagining belonged only to the Visionaries, and they had long ago stopped seeing new lands.
So deep was Amphal's contemplation, that she nearly jumped to her feet when her friend Yade addressed her. Amphal gathered her airy garments about her as she rose. She had woven them herself from the amber light of the plains. Now they flowed around her on barely perceptible breezes of light that rose form the undulating red ocean. Yade wore more humble garments of green sky light. Where Amphal's long golden hair flowed about her soft visage, much like the waves of the ocean, Yade's reddish hair fell quickly about her perfectly angular features like falling stars against the night.
"There you are," Yade said. "I have been looking for you."
"I am here, where I always go, you know this," Amphal said.
"I suppose I had hoped to see you somewhere new."
Amphal smiled as she spoke, "I understand. I too would see new things."
"That is why I have come."
"Do you wish to look upon the sea with me then?"
"No, I came to tell you of something strange. Something none have seen before."
"Please, tell me more, better yet, show me so I can see and be seen for myself."
"Of course, but you should know that I think you will not see."
Amphal thought this strange but followed her friend, her curiosity only further aroused. Their path followed the shore, where their bare feet left indentations in the rays of the blue sand. Red waveforms from the sea raced up to erase these impressions in the light of the sand. As they walked, Amphal began to see, or rather not see, something. It was not a sight, but rather a lacking… an absence, like the hunger she felt in her mind for new things. Yet this was not an abstract feeling or desire, this was a… thing. A few dozen paces revealed that the thing had a shape; it was like that of a man with no arms.
The lightless shape greedily drank all light around itself, without casting light of its own. Amphal watched watched this unique figure intently as it bathed in all the light of the ocean, the shore and even herself, without giving any back. It was an odd sensation, to feel her own light disappear into the black depths of that body, never to emerge. She had ever only experienced light and its many varied reflections. For each ray she cast into the world, the world cast many rays back. So it was with her friends, they would sit together for many days, basking in each other's light, each giving and taking their fair measure. For light, however it was transformed, could never be destroyed.
Yet here was something that took light without giving it back. A part of Amphal felt terror at the thought of her disappearing fully into the abyss within the lightless man. Would her thoughts disappear with the last ray of light that passed from her? Would her appearance end at that point, never to see or be seen again? Guilt seized her again, as she realized that what she mostly felt was the thrill of new sensation.
"We should look away," Yade said beside her.
"Why?" Amphal asked, knowing the answer.
"I feel myself… disappearing into this… absence."
"Light is forever Yade. Perhaps we only need to wait for its light to shine."
"How could that be?"
"Perhaps this is not a mere thing… perhaps it is a piece of the void in which the Lattice rests." Amphal looked up to the sky where the many Branches of the Lattice ran on the ocean of black void. She knew these to be parts of the celestial construct in which Lumat and many other worlds existed. Each Branch ran for many thought years before intersecting with other lengths of the Lattice. And as great as those distances were, Amphal could not imagine how far beyond the lightless void lay.
"But the void is just that," Yade said, "a lack of light. It is nothing."
"Yet this figure before us exists, and not just as an absence," Amphal said. "Look to it closely. I can make out its face where the light disappears. Were it to be seen, it would be a face of a man, with strong and noble features I think."
"My friend, we must be away, lest this… thing takes the very light of our thoughts."
But Amphal did not move from where she stood contemplating the lightless figure. For an age of the Cosmos, she had wandered the brilliant forests and resplendent plains of Lumat, and thought she had seen and had been seen by everything. Her unvoiced desire became to find something new, and so she had become lost in her own imaginings, dreaming up new sights where none existed. How pale those dreams seemed before this novel thing! But there was more. The more her light disappeared into the void-like surface of the figure, the more she became convinced that it was no mere statue or carving that the had come to them from the void. It had to be a living being, a man of thought and feeling like her. A man who had lost his light and fallen. Amphal closed her glowing eyes and imagined what he must have been like.
For the endless day, Amphal sat next to the lightless man, contemplating his contradictory existence, letting her radiance flow into him. Her light and that of the whole world fell into him in that timeless existence. And when his body drank its fill, and could no longer absorb another iota of power, it began to glow with its own light, like a stone heated for a night in the fire.
Amphal was now dim as a shadow and yet she remained, as did they all in contemplation of the impossible man. In time that had no meaning, the body of the lightless man became one of the brightest sights on the world. Those that had been repulsed by the hitherto unknown lack of light, were now drawn by the reflected light. They and many others came to sit next to Amphal, in mute contemplation of the strangest experience their world had ever beheld.

Pediatric Fitness Clinic Tests
At the UW Health Pediatric Fitness Clinic, we offer a multi-disciplinary team directed by leading researchers in pediatric obesity and staffed by a team of physicians, nurses, exercise physiologists and registered dieticians. All are committed to providing a comprehensive, research-based approach to improving the health and fitness of your child.
Testing at the Pediatric Fitness Clinic
During the program, patients will be asked to complete fasting lab tests and surveys related to what they eat and their physical activity. Your full participation is important to your success.
Physical Exam
- Height: How tall you are when standing straight against a wall?
- Weight: How much you weigh with your shoes off? Try to wear something similar to the clinic every time you come. This will help us to be sure we have an accurate weight.
- BMI: Body Mass Index, or a number that is calculated using your height and weight. This number is used to evaluate your weight status. It is a ratio of weight to height.
- Hip Circumference: This is the distance measured around your hips using a tape measure.
- Waist Circumference: This is the distance measured around your waist, near your belly button, using a tape measure.
- Blood Pressure: The exercise specialist and nurse will take your blood pressure at each visit by wrapping a blood pressure cuff around your upper arm.
- General Exam: The doctor will also perform a physical exam, similar to a well-child visit, to see if there are any other health issues that need to be addressed.
Fitness Tests
- Submaximal VO2 Test: The exercise physiologist will ask you to walk on a treadmill to assess your fitness level. They may ask you to tell them how it feels to walk at different paces and inclines. This will be used to track your improved fitness over time.
- DXA Scan: This test uses a very low level of radiation (less than a plane flight) to examine your body's content of fat, bone and muscle. This gives us a good idea of your body composition and will help track your progress in losing fat and gaining muscle.
Food Surveys
- 24-hour Diet Recall: At your first visit, your dietitian will ask you about your typical day. During this time, she will ask you to recall everything you ate or drank in one day.
- Three-Day Food Log: Your dietitian will give you a three-day food log to fill out before your next visit. We ask that you complete this journal as best you can by writing down what, when and where you ate. Remember, there are not any right or wrong answers. Honesty is the best policy.
- Food Tracking: Your dietitian may ask you to keep track of certain foods or beverages you eat for a period of time after reviewing the food log. Tracking food in a journal, or by taking pictures of your food, is a very useful way to see if you are making progress on your nutrition goals.
Blood Tests
You will be asked to go to your local clinic to have your labs drawn after a 12-hour fast, with no food or drinks. Your lab values will help us see if you are at risk for diabetes, heart or liver disease.
- Glucose and Insulin: Glucose is sugar. This test tells us how much sugar you have in your blood. Insulin helps to take glucose from the bloodstream into your cells for energy.
- Cholesterol and Lipid Levels: Total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels. These tests tell us how much cholesterol and fat you have in your blood.
- Liver Enzymes (AST and ALT): This test tells us how well your liver is working and if it is healthy.

When you break it down, learning how to break 80 in golf is a lot easier than you think. Now that you are ready to score in the 70s, this article will teach you how to do so. To help you avoid being overwhelmed by the prospect of shooting in the 70s, you have to remember that a 79 only requires you to make 11 pars and seven bogeys, which isn't as difficult as you think.
