Much of the focus on private exchanges has recently centered on small companies. In January, Fidelity launched Fidelity Health Marketplace, a private benefit exchanged specifically geared to its small- to midsized employer-clients. And consulting firm Accenture released a report recently that pegged the exchange growth rate at about 35%, with companies employing 100 to 2,500 people fueling much of the expansion.
But there's a new player focusing on the large employer market. Hixme, a California-based technology company, officially launched this week and the platform enables large employers – generally those with 500 or more employees – to set their benefits contributions and then facilitates employee access to the retail health insurance marketplace.
Denny Weinberg, Hixme's CEO, talked to EBN about the platform and why he believes individual ownership is the future of employee benefits.
How does Hixme work?
Our customer base is large employers. Five hundred to 5,000, or even larger, but our target market is 500 to 5,000 employees. Generally self-insured [employers with] employees scattered around the country, in some cases around the world.
What we do is provide a technology pathway for those employers [to go] from a group structured insurance core to the individual market, for health and for all the other benefits – it's [still] employer-paid [and] employer-structured.
Quote"Our technology deals with all the mechanisms to provide the employee the transition in shopping and surface experience of moving from a certain limited set of group benefit choices to local, personally owned choices for their benefits."
Our technology deals with all the mechanisms to provide the employee the transition in shopping and surface experience of moving from a certain limited set of group benefit choices to local, personally owned choices for their benefits. Our technology manages all funds flow between hundreds of carriers and thousands of benefit plans.
That's the core of the model. It's very different than anything a large employer would have done previously. It allows that employer to give their employees access to this gigantic retail market.
So the benefits are still employer-paid, but employees are going to the individual market to buy insurance with their employers dollars. Is that correct?
That's correct. What they're buying is not from the public exchanges, they're buying directly from carriers.
Employees struggle sometimes even with the limited choices they do have within their group plan, so what makes you think that employees are going to embrace this? How do you deal with choice paralysis?
Every private exchange deals with that issue because there's far more choices in the market. Especially when you get to the consumer market, there is an overwhelming number of choices for people who really only want to see two or three. One of the reasons this works in our market, and it's a struggle for those who just sell on the individual market alone, is all of our employees are coming from a group plan and we know that group plan. We're already the administrator of the conventional group plan before this occurs. So, one of the things we give them as their first option is, "Here's the individual plan in your city that's the most like the plan that you've got today."
We can do that because we structure both ends of it. Our algorithms that bring the choices up for any one employee, the first thing they'll see is the thing that's closest to [what they chose] last year. Then we'll give them options around that. [The system will ask questions like] "Would you like options that have a little bit more, or something a little less of something, a little higher price, a little lower price."
So like everybody else that uses these user-behavior-based algorithms that look at the interests and the intent of the buyer, you try and personalize what you present to them. [It's] very much based on what that particular employee's interests are. Everybody's looking at something different.
This is a new world. This problem you talk about is getting solved little by little with great behavior-based technology. We think we have one advantage in that we already know what they have. We can give them exactly what they had last year if that is what they feel safer as a first step, then maybe in the next renewal or the renewal after that, they might be much more value discerning.
Are you operating now? When did the company start?
The company began in 2014. Our first customer sales were all through the year last year. We were very careful, very focused. We've had about a dozen large employers that we represent today. About a quarter of them migrated to the individual platform on Jan. 1. Others that we sold last year are in the process of planning their migration during this year.
At the same time we have staffed group reps all across the state of California, which is where we are beginning, with companies headquartered here in California. From literally border to border we have state territories filled and we're calling on the roughly 2,000 large employers in California. We have modeling tools that present this to them, show them on a what-if basis what would happen if they were to make this change. We're active and by the end of this year we open up two more states and then two additional states every year for the next five years.
So this model is only for employers who decide that they want to go this defined contribution route. Is that a fair assessment?
That is the only thing we do. When we model this out for [employers] they say, "Wow, this is really good, but it's going to take us a couple of years to do this. Can we do this division by division, or geography by geography, or do our salary people first and our hourly people the next year?" We will gauge employers in that way. That's very typical. So we are always running a business here that's a traditional large-group consulting business. At the same time a very, very high volume of individual business, all integrated together. We're kind of a hybrid.
Why should employers be interested in this?
When you stop and think about the overhead associated with larger employers with redesigning an entire employer health plan every year – the restructuring the data, designing benefits, getting stop-loss coverage – that all goes away when you allow your employees to simply buy plans that already pre-existed. They're already put in the market for this purpose.
One of the things we tell employers is it's going to save you enormous amounts of hassle and costs. You don't have to have a group bill anymore. You don't need to worry about COBRA when your employees leave. They've already got their own plan. You don't have to buy stop-loss insurance. These are big costs and big hassles. You don't have to go through this annual cycle of redesigning your benefits for 3,000 or 4,000 employees. Your employees get to participate in a pool that has about 20 million people in it – the largest, most stable pool in the United States right now.
The other thing [employers] say is, "Well, why won't this cost me more, won't these plans be lousy?" Of course, because of the Affordable Care Act, these individual plans have the same essential health benefits the group plans do. They look much more like it. Surprisingly, they're a lot cheaper. Employers and employees both, who make this transition, actually save a lot of money. It's not just your trend is going to be lower; their day one costs are lower.
What happens if an employee quits their job half-way through the plan year, for example?
Once they've made this transition, we are the broker for each employee. The plan that they have purchased with money that they contributed from their payroll, and the balance that their employer paid for, that plan belongs to them. It's a contract between them and the insurance company they chose. So, yes, they take it with them. Their employer, as part of separation benefits, may pay for a few months of it, may pay for the rest of the year, but at some point their employer's share drops off of it, and then they pay for it on their own at that point unless they get employed someplace else, or they decide to do something else in place, but it's their policy.
It's not just a health policy. It's a whole array of what we sell in what we call bundles, which are various insurances, and there's a credit line that gets put in place that helps them, depending on what plan structure they purchase, cover unexpected deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs. It's a whole package that is much more fulsome than what a typical employer benefit plan would look like today.
My question with defined contribution is always are employers really going to keep up those contributions? Is that defined contribution going to keep up with inflation? Going to keep up with rising health costs?
One of the technological modules the employer activates every year is a contribution calculator. It's one of the few things the employer will have to do year after year. They don't get involved in the benefit structure anymore, and benefit design, or the purchase. All they do is make an open enrollment available and we do everything else.
That contribution calculation and decision-making is very important. The term, defined contribution, traditionally has meant the employer pays a fixed amount. The employee pays the balance. In our model, at one end of the spectrum is the employer pays the fixed amount and the employee pays the balance. At the other end of the spectrum, is a fixed amount for the employee and the employer pays the balance. Then in the middle, is a percentage sharing. The employer might say, "I paid 80% of costs last year when this was group insurance. I'm going to pay 80% of whatever you choose going forward." We can operate anywhere on that spectrum.
Who do you consider your competitors to be?
The prime competitors are the large benefits consulting firms, Aon Hewitt, Towers Watson, Mercer. These are the companies that have traditionally represented these larger employers. In the case of Towers Watson, they have their own private exchange. Our exchange model is very different for all the reasons we just discussed, but clearly they are the competitors that we see.
There's a huge amount of competition in the small group world. Little technology companies, and HR outsourcing companies that have popped up over the last year, all have great technology for helping employees or other consumers get to health plans. We don't view them as real competitors, but we find that their presence on the market has really elevated the investment in helping employees be better consumers.
I don't think anybody, including the architects of the Affordable Care Act, believe that group insurance as we know it today will exist 10 years from now. The dominant thinking is that everyone's going to own their own polices. It's just a question of how they're going to get there. We're just one of the very early movers right now to make that happen.

At its regular meeting Monday night, the town council agreed to allow Richard Johnson of 182 Old Main St. to build two homes on land adjacent to the park in exchange for turning over ownership of Matteson Avenue to the town. Johnson now owns the small road, a spur, which serves as one entrance in the park.

Okay, after a long week off... I'm back. Now where did I leave off. I wasn't completely free from work. We moved our servers to the center of the building. You wouldn't believe how much cable we were able to get rid of. Even some old WANG cabling. Now we have to troubleshoot the cables we missed... Only 1 out of 58. Not bad if I do say so myself. And a couple of shorted network cards. Guess they left the systems on even tho we said not to. Oh well... We're back up and running, 'cept our website. We are switching ISPs and so our DNS entries need to be updated.

No I won't shut up about it. Because I am in love. I am in love with this city the way one human being falls in love with another. And a person in love can never shut the fuck up about it. It's been almost two years now, and my love grows stronger every day. And, like a person in love, I cannot see Napoli's faults; I can only see her perfection. Alan Watts once suggested that when you fall in love, you see another human being for what they truly are. And that person sees you for what you truly are. And it is in that state of finally mutually knowing your divine perfection, that you achieve true bliss.
Today, with my Napoli, I am in a state of pure bliss. Today, I can only see and feel and hear and taste that Napoli has always effortlessly been what other cities around the world are now so desperately trying to be. And no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to touch her.
And I won't tell you exactly what she does, or how she does it, because words couldn't describe it anyway, and I am a possessive lover who doesn't want to share today. Maybe tomorrow I will want to share her with you, but even then, I wouldn't want to ruin it for you. So, if you want to know her, you've got to seduce her yourself, and pray to the Gods that she'll be kind enough to do to you what she's done to me.
Sometimes Napoli is a woman. And sometimes she is a man. Today, for me, Napoli is that kind of unbelievably beautiful and generous woman that every man dreams about sleeping with, opening herself up to me willingly, gracefully– accepting my clumsy intrusion upon her perfection, and thanking me for it while we do it. But, other days, Napoli is a cruelly dangerous, yet irresistible man, throwing me to the ground, slapping me, choking me, spitting in my face, calling me a stupid whore–
And then declaring his undying love, going down on me for hours, and giving me the best orgasm of my life.
What will Napoli be tomorrow?
I don't give a shit.
We are here now.

Euro Surges Against Dollar In Dull Currency Trading
NEW YORK -- The euro surged to a three-month peak against the dollar, with some analysts convinced the single currency may now be poised for a sustained recovery.
But euro bears downplayed the move, claiming it was little more than a technical bounce in a dull market.
Overall, the dollar was generally soft and eased further against the yen....

1. Strengthen your wrists, even when you're not doing yoga
Yoga can improve joint strength, especially in the wrists. Working on your wrist strength between practices can help maintain that strength and improve upon it.
Yoga for beginners tip: Warm up the joint with a few wrist rolls (hands in fists, roll inward and outward, and flex them frontward and backward) and practice a few key yoga moves between classes. "Planks and down dog poses will improve wrist strength," says yoga expert Beth Shaw, founder and president of YogaFit. Do these a few times throughout the week and you'll notice an improvement in your yoga class. The good thing about these exercises is that they don't require a lot of space or time. Do them at home before bed or first thing in the morning after you wake up.

Item Summary
|Increased power, pulse length, and spectral purity free-electron laser for inverse-compton x-ray production and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy of thin film photovoltaics
|Kowalczyk, Jeremy Michael
|Issue Date:
|Dec 2011
|[Honolulu] : [University of Hawaii at Manoa], [December 2011]
|The free-electron laser (FEL) system can be configured to produce X-ray or extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light via Compton backscattering and to perform many types of spectroscopy including laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). In it's most common incarnation, the FEL is limited by three major factors: average laser power, laser spectral purity, and laser pulse length. Some examples of the limitations that these shortcomings give rise to include limiting the range of remote spectroscopy, degrading spectroscopic precision, and lowering the attainable x-ray ux, respectively.
In this work, we explored three methods of improving the FEL. First, a beam expanding optic dubbed the TIRBBE was designed, built, and tested to prevent laser damage to the resonator mirrors and allow for higher average power. This optic had the added benefit of increasing the spectral purity. Second, a intra-cavity etalon filter dubbed the FROZEN FISH was designed, built, and tested to increase spectral purity and eliminate the frequency pulling (tendency of an FEL to pull towards longer wavelengths during a macropulse) all in a high damage threshold, fully wavelength adjustable package. Finally, a laser cooling scheme which allows for extension of the electron beam macropulse used to create the FEL light by counter-acting electron back-heating was explored. The first measurements of the back-heating temperature rise were taken, calculations of the required laser parameters were made, design of the full system was completed, and construction has begun.
Experimental work using LIBS to characterize thin film solar cells was also completed in anticipation of using the improved FEL to better characterize such materials. The frequency tunability and picosecond micropulse width of the FEL will allow for exploration of the frequency response of LIBS ablation and fine resolution of the make up of these materials

FOM PhD on inkjet printing: How do meniscus shape instabilities lead to air entrapment in piezo-acoustic inkjet printing? (experiments, numeric, theory)The Challenge: In piezo-acoustic ink-jet devices a voltage pulse applied to a piezo-electric element causes the ink-filled channel to deform, thereby creating a pressure wave in the ink, ultimately leading to the jetting of droplets out of the nozzle. A notorious problem in these systems is the entrainment of tiny air bubbles during operation. Once entrained, the bubbles grow by rectified diffusion, consequently disrupt the pressure waves and finally seriously disturb the droplet formation process. Though in the last years we have made considerable progress in detecting bubbles and monitoring their growth, the exact mechanism and the exact conditions of the entrainment process at the nozzle remain elusive. The same holds for the underlying meniscus instabilities. The objective of this project is to understand these instabilities and to be able to predict under what conditions bubble entrainment will take place. The working hypothesis is that either a Rayleigh-Taylor or a capillary instability of the meniscus is responsible for the entrainment. The probability of air entrapment is strongly related to the extreme displacement of the meniscus relative to the nozzle edge and, related to this, the filling with ink of the nozzle. On the experimental side, we will use high-speed imaging techniques in order to visualize the entrainment. On the numerical side we will use two models developed by Océ based on commercial CFD codes (Ansys, Fluent, Flow3D), an in-house boundary integral code, and an in-house level set code to describe the movement of the accelerated meniscus and its interaction with the nozzle wall and the surrounding air. The available control parameters are the driving pulse (shape and amplitude), the driving pressure, the driving frequency, the nozzle shape, size and wettability properties, and the material properties of the ink such as viscosity and surface tension. Our Offer: We offer a very challenging position in an inspiring multidisciplinary and international environment. As a PhD candidate you will be offered a fulltime (38 hours /week) positions for 4 years. You will be appointed in the service of Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM). FOM assist new foreign employees with housing and visa applications and compensates moving expenses Our group has excellent international contacts and outstanding intellectual and technological infrastructure. Your profile: We seek highly talented, enthusiastic, and exceptionally motivated candidates with an M.Sc. degree in Physics or engineering. The candidate must have strong communication skills, including fluency in written and spoken English. The position will be open until a suitable candidate is identified. An interview and a scientific presentation will be part of the selection process.

By Meredith Fineman
The idea of an "office" has changed from a place of routine business, and antiquated social norms (think Mad Men) to a place of open floor plans, beer taps, and bouncy balls.
The office space itself has completely transformed - especially now in the land of startups as a contest of whose space can be "cooler," more wacky, invoking of childhood, or innovative. But with all the ping pong rooms and napping pods, yoga classes and flip-cup games, a few usual norms of professionalism seem to have gone out the window along with doors that close. Discussion topics that were once taboo - drinking, dating, and beyond - are the new office norm.
It's a struggle with the line between personal and professional, as work becomes play and vice-versa. If we can't figure out if we're on a date or networking, how are we supposed to figure out how to act at the office? Are the blurry lines damaging places of work?
Aside from a constant blur of etiquette and manners in a professional setting, expectations of office behavior and life are changing, too. Expectations surrounding what goes on in an office, the amount of fun swag and goodies, seems to be off. I interviewed a potential candidate who said he really wanted to work at a startup because it seems really "cool." I think we're forgetting that offices are really, truly, at the end of the day, places of work.
When job hunting, there is a new consideration - work also has to come with "cool" benefits, like waterslides, massages, free Clif Bars, and a gym. (That highlight was emphasized greatly as Lena Dunham's character on Girls loaded up in the snack room.)
Start-ups all want to be the purveyors of new ideas and creativity, but we might be missing a crucial element: this is an office. At the end of the day, you really ought to keep it professional. This is for many reasons: namely, legal issues, respect, work product, and more than anything, reputational confusion. I've worked at places that can't decide if they're a frathouse or an agency. And that confusion translates to everyone working for you.
Everyone who is lucky enough to enjoy his or her work is blessed. But truly, it's work. It's not play. And that might mean fewer bells and whistles.
I spoke with start-up founders about how they tow that line between personal and professional in the office, while still getting in ping pong. Many of the founders I spoke with agree that while free food and other goodies might be great, finding great talent and having culture emerge from that, is crucial. Aubrey Sabala, a marketing and communications expert who has a resume from Google to Facebook, knows that "culture comes from smart hiring. And smart people know to hire people smarter than themselves. Free lunch? That's a lovely bonus after you've done the work to a) afford it by b) growing and thriving and doing great work," she says. Not to mention, these things are rewards, not "an inherent right."
Sometimes startups are confusing a ping pong table with company culture. "Free beer is not culture," said Kathryn Minshew, co-founder of The Muse. "Company culture is the sense of shared values and norms that bind you together. There's nothing wrong in my opinion with some companies offering an array of perks, but perks do not equal culture. Also, some of the perks targeted at 20-something programmers may not scale as well as your company grows and looks to attract a wider array of talent." While you might consider adding these bits to a place of work, it might not translate as you grow. Same goes at iStrategyLabs, a place I've visited at every stage of growth. Sure, their old loft was full of toys and refrigerators full of Pinkberry, but a cool office can't replace a well crafted culture. Many CEO's confuse the two," said Peter Corbett, ISL's founder and CEO. The company now has 38 employees.
The other reason why perks aren't the answer - money. Most of the start-ups are bootstrapped, and the fun add-ons come only after the company's necessary work happens. Melody McCloskey, founder of StyleSeat, hammers in this ethos. "I've been extremely frugal up until this point," she said> "My cofounder and I bootstrapped the business - we didn't pay ourselves for the first year and a half - that's kind of the DNA of where we started, every person. It's important to instill frugality in your early employees because they get scrappier, they get creative."
And that pressure to have a cool office or those expectations? Not worth it. "I just don't put up with it. I'm really honest," says McCloskey.
Build it first, and then the ping pong table will come.

Gina Passarella's recent article, "Talking Business of Law: The Dance Around Change," explores whether the long static legal industry is undergoing real change or simply dancing around it. The analysis emanates from her attendance at a panel discussion on law firm innovation hosted by an international firm. Let's put aside the irony of a law firm hosting such a discussion and return to Ms. Passarella's article and its somewhat halting conclusion that legal change is real even if incremental. [Read more…]
The Future Keeps Happening To Legal Services
Google's self-driven car recently collided with a city bus. It was the fender bender heard round the world. Why? Automation's mishap was a momentary reprise — and great relief for millions — from its replacement of human drivers. After all, nearly 20 percent of Americans have jobs that involve driving. A recent Pew study found that 65 percent of adults believe that within the next 50 years robots and computers will do much of the work now done by humans. Count lawyers among the concerned group. And we're not talking about half a century from now.
Perspective: Are Law Firms Just Like Other Vendors?
I recently spoke at a Legal Procurement conference where the topic was "Managing Relationships." My takeaway: providers want to know how to close business and buyers want more for less – and know they can get it. It's a jungle out there.
Has legal buy and sell devolved from a trusted advisor to vendor dynamic? Is there a "relationship" component left? Before answering, let's consider briefly how and why we got here.
Perspective: More Turbulence Ahead for Big Law?
I was having breakfast the other day with a friend who is the managing partner of an AmLaw 100 firm (remember when "AmLaw 200" was the standard?). Before becoming a lawyer, he was a Navy bomber pilot. Translation: he doesn't panic easily and knows when a crisis is a crisis.
"How do you see the weather ahead?" I asked, referring to his firm's prospects. "It's going to be a rocky ride," he replied, "I'm thinking about how to get around the heavy weather."
Perspective: Why Lawyers Should Think About the Sharing Economy
Love it or loathe it, we are living in the age of the sharing economy. Long-standing vertical leaders have fallen like dominoes. They have been marginalized by new, tech-enabled entrants that deliver "faster, cheaper, better" access to goods and services. Uber, Airbnb, and Zipcar, are three among a growing list of disruptors. These companies have a common model: harness technology and social media to provide information that optimizes resources through the redistribution, sharing and re-use of excess capacity in goods and services.
Voice of Change
Mark Cohen co-authored this article with Colin LaChance.
With no more brass rings to strive for, what will motivate innovative young lawyers to spend their prime years in a traditional firm environment?
Dorota Turlejski launched Uplawed, an estate law boutique, in September 2015 following four years with a mid-size, full-service Ottawa firm. She was doing well with the firm that first took her on as an articling student, and was on her way to becoming a successful, traditional lawyer. Therein lay the problem. The more she became the sort of lawyer that does well in a traditional environment, the less she resembled the person she knew in her heart she was and wanted to be – a scientist with legal training.

The nation is unending under danger from terrorist powers and the normal man strolls ignorant of the dangers and the assaults that our Government controls and counteracts. While the normal Indian battles for ordinary issues, there are deeper and greater dangers to him and his family that he will never know exist in light of the fact that it is the men and ladies in uniform that protect them. The men and ladies who put nation before self, the men and ladies who characterize our history on the grounds that they care the slightest bit!
Ajay (played by Akshay Kumar) is one such officer who is a piece of a tip top group browsed among the best in the Forces to structure a clandestine Counter Intelligence Unit. Sometime during thwarting one terrorist assault offer, Ajay finds a significant risk to our country – a plan to cause harm and strike dread at the heart of our exceptionally presence. The plot is planned by a twisted pioneer whose association has its appendages spread over the world. As days advance, the unit experiences raising difficulties with time ticking against them and dangers heightening. At all focuses, the parts of the unit provide for everything they've got and stand tall to protect us energetically that we may rest protected in our homes. Clandestine and gallant operations are performed crosswise over Kathmandu, Istanbul, Abu Dhabi, Delhi and Mumbai as our defenders won't rest till insidiousness is vanquished.
Will the deranged Maulana Rehman and his band of underhandedness succeed in striking dread in the heart of India? Will the Indian Government change gears from being touchy to proactive and strike? Will Ajay and his unit have the capacity to keep this fear tidal wave?

'Better premise required' on porker flu
The government must map the spread of porker flu other rigorously in method to predict the number of certainbodies who are likable to die from it, savants say.Researchers at Imperial College say premise is vital to ensure the country is "best prepared to oppose the pandemic". They predict that one in 200 certainbodies who get porker flu badly sufficiently to extremity therapeutical help could go on to die. But the government's chieftain therapeutical director related there was "no reason" to focus on establishing a choose variegate. Meanwhile, the BBC hears that vaccines may not be ready until later than the government had prognosticated. Therapeutical correspondent Fergus Walsh related World Soundness Organisation officials anticipated the capital dolts to be serviceable in September or October, not August as attends had related. In any event, it will be the end of the year at least above there are sufficient measures to immunise moiety of the UK population. Chieftain therapeutical magistrate Liam Donaldson otherover acquainted the BBC that to cope with "the height of the pandemic", the government was pondering shifting the directions to fare up the departure certification process for porker flu victims. "We want to try and degrade as nseasonable as feasible the chorus of work on teachers and we are pondering all natures of things which will help will that," he related. "That's one of the preferences that's essence examined at." Brink of misdeedRigorous vaticinations around the number of departures likable to befall from porker flu are not yet serviceable. The soundness escritoire says 100,000 a day could contract porker flu
Current appreciates insinuate it is around as malignant as certain types of whileal flu, but far scantier deadly than certain foregoing flu pandemics. Any appreciates around porker flu are subject to a broad brink of misdeed, not least because not eremarkablyone who seizes it unfolds signs. But despite the embroilments, the Imperial College savants – who are acquainting the government on its porker flu generalship – say other rigorous delineating of the spread of the venom must be carried out if it is to be effectively transactd.FROM THE TODAY NOTICE
Dr Tini Garske related: "If we wane to get an rigorous prediction of severity, we will not be providing soundnesscare planners, teachers and nurses, with the knowledge that they extremity to ensure they are best prepared to oppose the pandemic as we command into the flu while this tumble." She related premise must be garnered "agreeing to well designed study protocols and analysed in a other sophisticated way than is repeatedly essence performed at exhibit". 'Only an appreciate'Not eremarkablyone who is contaminated with porker flu will grow ill sufficiently to hearsay their enclose to a teacher. Of the shape who do, savants predict that 0.5% of them – one in 200 – could go on to die. Soundness Escritoire Andy Burnham has related in the overpower enclose there could be 100,000 new encloses of porker flu a day later in the year, although multitudes of these may not tumble seriously ill.
There extremity to be plans for hospitals to distribute workloads transversely areas Prof Steve Field Royal College of GPs
The chieftain therapeutical magistrate acquainted BBC Radio Four's Today notice the supporting intimation of the Imperial hearsay was that it was remarkably rigid to make schemes. "If you expect at statistical modelling, it's remarkably precious, but you do receive to discuss it with a lot of circumspection seasonable on," Sir Liam related. "We cognize that, for exemplification, from the CJD prevalent whither seasonable vaticinations were of centuries of multitudes and millions of encloses, whitheras in reality there receive been 164." At exhibit, he related, porker flu emerged to be scantier rigorous than foregoing pandemics and "broadly similar" to whileal flu – which despatches betwixt 5,000 and 7,000 each year. There receive so far been 17 porker flu-related departures in the UK. On Tuesday, a post-mortem inspection managed that a GP who perished hind contracting it was not despatched by the venom. Prof Steve Field, from the Royal College of GPs, related plans to transact the riot were on roll. "What we're acquiring is this is betiding in hotspots around the country… so there extremity to be plans for certainbody hospitals and for hospitals to distribute workloads transversely areas," he related.

However, if you simply have a fun get together with friends and family, you may want to choose coloured sky lanterns or add fun balloons or ice fountains.
There are also themed sky lanterns that are perfect for casual, fun events. Consider the pumpkin sky lanterns that are ideal for Halloween or autumn celebrations. Pumpkin sky lanterns found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/sky-lanterns/pumpkin-lanterns-pack-of-4/prod_31.html are perfect for autumn get togethers to lend a festive flair to the occasion.

If your favoured team wins, you can release the sky lanterns in celebration of the victory. Football sky lanterns found at http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/chinese-lanterns/football-sky-lanterns/prod_26.html can be personalized by using a sharpie marker and adding the name of the team or drawing a logo. When it is released into the sky, everyone will know why you are celebrating.
Sky lanterns are a unique and inexpensive way to add some style to any occasion. They are perfect for both public and private events. Festivals and clubs can use sky lanterns to release into the air in celebration of the event. Private individuals who have a party can allow guests to release the sky lanterns and they can be seen for miles. It is a fun and interactive way to get the guests or attendees involved and have a spectacular view for guests and people around for several miles.
Sky lanterns are safe to use and are biodegradable. They will float in the sky for several miles under perfect weather conditions so you can enjoy the view for a long time to come. When released in the evening you will see the floating sky lanterns light up the sky for miles. For formal events such as weddings or anniversaries, sky lanterns are the ideal solution for ending the evening with style. Guests can write a personal note on the sky lanterns then release them. Not only is it a great way to get the guests included, the honourees will have great pictures, video and memories of their special occasion.
Sky lanterns are the ideal way to celebrate with style. For casual events, have some fun with the different available colours and styles of sky lantern available. For more formal events, choose a monochromatic colour scheme but you can use different sized sky lanterns for a dramatic effect. All of the guests will thoroughly enjoy the time using them and will have a spectacular view as the sky lanterns are released into the night sky. They are safe, affordable and will provide fond memories and pictures for years to come.

I am the infamous (or rather unfamous) completelydifferent, more commonly known as Moira from Norway. As you might have guessed from the last sentence I speak Norwegian. But since I'd rather fancy a life in England, I decided to speak a different language. I do have a Norwegian blog, which was (up until recently) my most succesful anything.
I do have a strong passion for English literature, culture and (possibly an even stronger passion for) English humour.
So you might have guessed it: this is my English blog. Nothing fancy, I just write about most things that interests or engages me which include, among other things, the things listed on the side there.
Please let me know if there's anything specific you want me to talk about, and try to enjoy what's already on here.

Elite Dangerous is a seriously good looking game, but you know sometimes we're in such a rush to get in and out of the stations that we never really stop to take in the sights and sounds of them.
So with a name like "Big Harry's Monkey Hangout", I figured this is a place to stop and take a tour. So here are my holiday snaps of the various parks and administrative centers.
Nice place for a picnic.

First Nations PR Program Coming to FNTI
This fall the First Nations Technical Institute (FNTI) on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory east of Belleville, Ontario will launch a one-year public relations program.
The new program will be overseen by instructors of the institute's existing three-year journalism diploma program.
"Both programs are about telling our own stories," says co-ordinator Dan David, whose background includes the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), as well as a range of public relations experience.
"Both will have a strong new emphasis on delivering those stories on-line," he adds. "As always, we'll emphasize excellence and encourage students to take stories rooted in their own communities to the world at large."
The new PR program will offer hands-on experience in aboriginal public relations, including internship opportunities with real-world employers.
Graduates of the FNTI program will receive a Public Relations certificate from Loyalist College of Applied Arts and Technology.
Anyone who is interested may contact Wendy Sero at 1-800-267-0637, ext. 160 or e-mail email@example.com.

Q: How do you bill situations when you see the patient in the office and then direct the patient to go to the emergency department (ED)?
A:Coding for hospital admissions from other sites of service can be confusing. However, once you master the rules, appropriate reimbursement should follow.
In this type of situation, we aren't adding services together because two different physicians are involved. So if a physician sees the patient in an office, works the patient up and then sends the patient to the ED to be evaluated or admitted by another physician, you can bill your office visit separately from any of the hospital charges.
Since the physician in the office is most likely of a different specialty than the ED physician, both services can be billed. The payer will decide to pay the claim based on how your physicians are credentialed with that payer.
Scenario 1
Physician sees patient in the office, and decides to admit the patient to the hospital as an inpatient. The physician then goes to the hospital to see the patient the same day.
In this scenario, the services performed in the office and at the hospital are rolled together and only the initial inpatient care code is billed (99221-99223). You would not bill the office visit; however, those services can count toward your level of initial inpatient care code, which could increase your code level. Your physician should document separately an office note and an initial hospital note.
Scenario 2
The physician sees a patient in the office. During the course of that encounter, the physician admits the patient to the hospital as an inpatient, but does not see the patient in the hospital that day. The next day, he/she visits the patient in the hospital for the first time.

He is described as the poorest President in the world. He's 78 years old and has $322,883 to his name.
He does not live in Uruguay's presidential palace, either. Instead he lives on a modest farm with 3 tractors and a worn down Volkswagen Beetle. He gives away nearly 90% of his monthly salary to charities and entrepreneurs in Uruguay.
"Mujica is a former leftist guerrilla who often speaks out against greed and consumerism, and say they learned to live on very little during their long years in prison under Uruguay's 1973-85 dictatorship. They gave up the chance to live in the luxurious presidential mansion after he was elected four years ago, staying instead on their ramshackle flower farm, which Mujica declared to be worth about $108,000.
Mujica also declared three tractors, each worth more than his two 1987 Volkswagen Beetles, which together value about $4,750." - Yahoo and Associated Press Jose Mujica's Total Net Worth And LifestyleAnd have we mentioned what people are saying about him? It's rather interesting to see, but it gives an incredible amount of insight into the general public's negative sentiment toward elected officials and politicians around the world. Here are the top comments on a Yahoo comment thread with more than 10,000 submissions:

On Saturday's "College Gameday" on ESPN, the Stanford football team showed off its use of virtual reality with quarterbacks to help read defenses and pick up blitzes. This technology being used with quarterbacks also allows coaches to get in the minds of the quarterbacks as they look at the way defenses are set up, so they can see what their quarterbacks see.
Founder and CEO of STRIVR and Stanford special teams graduate assistant Derek Belch created the complete 360 degree 3D simulation and the product is now used widely in college football and is now making its way into the NFL.
"When I first put those glasses on and saw what it looked like, my mind started racing, which was, 'Ok, this could work. Not only could this work, but it could be phenomenal,'" said Stanford head coach David Shaw of the virtual reality. "This is one of the game changers. This is going from black and white to color. If you don't take advantage, you're now at a disadvantage."

Getting a new puppy? Few supplies you need to keep ready.
Getting a new puppy can get very exciting and stressful at times. The first one month involves intensive care and training to live happily ever after. So before you get yourself a puppy, read and research things on like what supplies you are going to need, how to take care of a puppy, making up a routine for them, etc. And in this article, I'm going to share the few things you need to be ready with when you get yourself a puppy.
Dog Supplies
Let's start with the basic here first –
1) Dog's food:
Of course, your dog can't feed on human food as they have a different nutrition requirement. They might be small, but they have a good appetite and for the first one month, you need to be extra concerned about what your pup eats. They will have a good calorie and protein demand to get the energy required to develop healthily and stay active. Research online or consult your vet if you are not sure about which food brand is right for your pup.
2) Water and Food Bowls:
What do you think you are going to feed your dog in? There are varieties of designs and sizes available for their bowls. Your puppy is going to consume a lot of water throughout the day, so it is recommended to keep a separate bowl for water. You can choose from plastic to ceramic to stainless steel bowls- but each has its own benefits and drawbacks. So gather more information about it from the pet specialty retailer and then make the right choice.
Dog's walking needs–
3) Collar and Leash:
You are going to need a collar and a leash for your dog the day you bring him in. The collar holds the identification tag of your dog. The identification tag contains your name and contact number. Get a collar which is adjustable, it shouldn't be tied too tight. Make sure that there is space to insert your two fingers and it should not be that loose that it slips off from their neck.
The leash will come in handy during their walk or obedience training. The leash is tied to the collar with a strong hardware. The length of the leash should be around 4 feet and for your convenience, get a leash that has the loop with a tight grip.
4) Identification tag:
An identification tag is useful when your dog runs off. An identification tag contains information such as – your name and contact number, some even include the address details. This can be very useful in case your dog runs off so that others can bring him back to you. Get a customized ID tag for your dog. A tag can be made of plastic or metal that hangs from your dog's collar.
Basic sleeping needs-
5) Dog beds and crates:
Your puppy will need a comfy bed or crate to sleep in. They like their own place. There are wide varieties to choose from – designs, different sizes, and pillow designs – go for something that matches your home decor style too. And always go for the quality, never compromise on them. They need to feel like home too.
Basic training needs–
6) Cleaning potty training supplies:
When you get a new puppy, it is really important for you to give home training on where his/her toilet spot is. They can really make a mess, in the beginning, vomit on your rugs. That's why it is important for you to keep your cleaning supplies ready and train them on their pee and poop spot.
7) Exercise pen:
If you don't have the room to keep your dog confined to, you can always purchase a pen to keep your dog corralled. Exercise pens are a set of portable wire panels that confine your pup to a specific area, just to keep them safe.

Grooming tools –
8) Grooming supplies:
Oh, look such a handsome dog! If you wish to hear that compliment for your dog, you need to groom him/her well. Trim his toenails, wash his coat regularly, clean his ear and brush his teeth. And to perform these grooming activities on him/her, you need to be ready with these few supply lists –
- Blow Dryer
- Nail clippers
- Comb and brush
- Shampoo and soap
- Ear cleaning solutions
- Towels
Now, you are ready to bring a puppy home and also, make sure to go for the regular check-up with your vet. Don't miss out on vaccination and examination process of your dog.
