Measuring and improving healthcare quality, safety and performance remain constants
Andy Weissberg, SVP, Marketing and Education, Quantros
Many skilled nursing and long-term care providers face uncertainty stemming from the heated debates over repeal of the Affordable Care Act and the fate of the Better Care Reconciliation Act.
Regardless of any legislative outcome, one thing remains a constant: Payments and reimbursement throughout the healthcare ecosystem are increasingly and decisively linked to the quality of care that is delivered, documented and measured.
The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act, for instance, requires the submission of standardized data by long-term care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies and inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
The Act also requires CMS to develop and implement quality measures from five domains using standardized assessment data, as well as the development and reporting of measures pertaining to resource use, hospitalization and discharge to the community ― all with the aim of facilitating coordinated care and improving outcomes and overall quality comparisons.
The goals of this legislation are clear: Make care safer, better engage patients and family, promote effective communication and coordination of care, enhance preventive practices, promote best practices and make quality care more affordable for patients and payers alike.
In this landscape, as more hospital systems acquire skilled nursing facilities and expand their post-acute care networks, they are assuming financial responsibilities for re-admissions and other performance-centered risks and incentive. Therefore, it will become increasingly critical for these organizations to create a high-performing post-acute care network to meet increasingly high standards of care, safety and performance.
For most long-term care providers, unwarranted variation in care is a significant source of suboptimal outcomes and unnecessarily high costs that apply to all patients across their case mix and payer mix. Apart from the penalties linked to excess readmissions and hospital-acquired conditions in federal programs, emerging value mandates from both private purchasers and commercial payers narrow the margin for error, and provide even stronger incentives to pinpoint and address the most sensitive areas of undesirable variation in care.
Measuring quality and safety
While hospitals recognize the need to become laser-focused on providing care quality and keeping their patients safe, not all hospitals do this effectively. More than 250,000 Americans die each year from medical errors, making medical error the third leading cause of death in the United States. However, with increased sophistication of health IT systems, it may now be easier to achieve optimal patient safety and quality goals.
When "Total Safety Management" in a healthcare environment is supported by appropriate IT infrastructure, healthcare facilities create a viable framework for reaching these objectives. It is based upon the idea that a healthcare organization can build long-term success by having all its employees, from low-level workers to its highest ranking executives, focus on safety and quality improvement. By finding the real causes of medical errors and determining the issues, it is possible to measure safety and quality, and ultimately provide safe, quality healthcare to the patients in a way that is financially viable and legally compliant in today's complex healthcare environment.
This requires a strategy to accurately measure quality and manage evolving quality reporting and reimbursement requirements. It relies upon the adoption of sophisticated tools designed to foster operational efficiency that leads to safer, higher quality care.
Better performance: A holistic view brings assets together
Taking a holistic approach to these IT tools is critical, and it involves not only integrating new systems, but also viewing them as a single entity. Healthcare organizations need everyone working together to support the new technology so that, in turn, it can support them.
Just as a holistic approach to medicine treats each patient as an integrated system and considers how the mind affects the body, a holistic approach to technology focuses on the interdependence of system components.
By focusing on change management and aligning the people, organization and systems to the business processes, this new holistic approach can pull together all the organizational assets necessary to increase performance, and improve quality and patient safety.
Providing the best possible care
Having a clear-cut IT strategy is key to providing the best possible care, and can be the difference between success and failure. TSM requires organizations to focus on continuous process improvement over the long term, rather than simply emphasizing short-term goals.
Continuous improvement should center on the use of strategy, data and effective communication to instill a discipline of care quality and safety into the healthcare organization's culture and processes.
TSM puts emphasis on the processes and calls for organizations to define those processes, continuously monitor and measure their performance, and use that performance data to drive improvements. It's critically important that all employees – from the top down -- be part of this process. The objectives are to eliminate waste and increase efficiencies by ensuring that services are performed correctly the first time.
TSM's holistic approaches include:
Systems thinking: A holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way that a system's constituent parts interrelate, how systems function over time and how they function within the context of even larger systems.
Information governance: A holistic approach to managing information by implementing processes, roles, controls and metrics that treat information as a critical asset.
Enterprise risk management: A holistic approach to planning, organizing, leading, and controlling a healthcare organization's activities to minimize the effects of medical error.
Long-term care facilities should seek new enterprise performance management solutions that provide a line of sight into risk-adjusted measures of quality, including patient safety, patient satisfaction, complications, excess all-site readmissions and others linked to value-based payments and reimbursement across a hospital and health system's payer mix.
21st century thinking in healthcare
Other industries have provided a number of documented reasons why their information IT initiatives failed. Long-term care facilities should begin to learn these lessons and overcome the inability to adapt to change that has left it functioning in an outdated and inefficient way ―often to the detriment of patient care and safety.
Healthcare stakeholders within the organization must also overcome misconceptions of what IT is and how it is used. Not doing so has led executives and healthcare professionals to adopt varied, and often opposing, ideas about what IT's true role is when it comes to quality and safety measures.
IT innovation should be viewed as an indispensable tool that must be aligned with an organization's goals and priorities. Because IT represents change and change affects people, organizations must understand the different ways that IT impacts every aspect of the operations. TSM's holistic approach aligns goals to ensure that IT is embraced by the people within the healthcare organization so that it can truly be effective and potentially save lives.
Whether patients are insured, underinsured or uninsured, under any newly proposed or future healthcare reforms, improving patient care outcomes remains the key to achieving clinical and financial success and survival. This means finding an innovative and reliable resource for measuring value and improving performance in the emerging value-based healthcare economy.

Please Pray for the Persecuted: Shanti was in prison for her faith. Feeling weak, she told God that she would probably give up names of Christians if she was tortured; yet three times she boldly shared the Gospel with her interrogators. Hearing what Shanti said, one of her interrogators became a Christian. He shared that he knew instinctively that God had done the work through Shanti and told her, "That really wasn't you!" Please pray for God's protection for others who are persecuted for their faith, that they too may boldly share the Gospel and saves eternal lives.

In this fast paced world, everyone is running around attempting to accomplish multiple tasks at once. Students especially feel the need to maintain a constant balance between classes, studying, assignments and extracurricular activities. As a result, students tend to get less and less sleep. School is so competitive (especially postsecondary schools) that a student who attends class in the morning must study at night. Often when he/she arrives to class they cannot focus. When asked certain questions such as did you finish your assignment, did you have enough sleep, or let's do something tonight, a common reply we hear from such a student is "No, I do not have time." Often, I wonder how true is this? Is this really the case?
Great people have given much thought to time; some might say time is money while others might say time is life. In any case time is very important and it's in our hands to make a good use of it. Every student who makes it to university has a high academic background. But then why do some students manage to excel in this environment while others fail? The key skill that these successful students have developed is time management skills.
Managing your time wisely can really benefit you in your academic, professional or personal life. Many freshmen do not exercise proper time management. This renders university a burden, rather than a fun learning experience. Here are few tips on time management:
Make a list: Plan your day and prioritize your tasks. Also set deadlines for your to do list. Make sure you make an attainable list. It is important to set deadlines for all your tasks. You must finish your task in the given time frame.
Stop multitasking: Contrary to common belief, multitasking is not efficient. It can slow you down and you are more likely to make mistakes. Therefore do one thing at a time.
Try your best: Make sure we stay true to ourselves and put in an honest effort.
Use your downtime: How much time do you spend waiting for a bus or a professor? Contrarily, How much time do you spend making your "To Do List"? Use your downtime to make your list. Always make the best out of your down time.
Reward yourself: Once you have achieved your goal, do not forget to reward yourself.
Managing your time wisely can take you very far. While complaining, "I don't have enough time," first ask yourself if you have used your time wisely. Do not forget that everyone has the same amount of time as you do. Hence we must remember the great inspiring quote from Jackson Brown, "Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.'

Professor, Chemical Engineering
Dr. Minerick's
research is focused on electrokinetics with an emphasis on
medical microdevices. The goals of her research group,
M.D.-ERL (Medical microdevice Engineering Research Laboratory),
are to develop portable, point-of-care devices that can provide
rapid, quantitative results for disease diagnosis and
monitoring. The primary focus of the group is on human blood
electrokinetics, more specifically dielectrophoresis (DEP),
and replacing expensive and time consuming off-line lab
analysis with rapid, point-of-care devices. The main area of
research that involves dielectrophoresis is ABO-Rh blood
typing. Classical dielectrophoretic theory predicts particle
behavior based on the particle's polarizability relative to
the medium's polarizability. Therefore, medium ion
distributions surrounding particles/cells are of paramount
importance to the cell's resulting behavior in a DEP field.
Ongoing research involves detection of red cell interactions
with drugs and commercialization of the blood typing
technology funded by the
National Science Foundation.
Experiments completed in M.D.-ERL are supplemented with COMSOL simulations that can compare theory to experimental results. These useful simulations help predict optimal experimental parameters, saving time and money. For example, one newer research area in M.D.-ERL is droplet micro fluidics. When first designing micro devices, COMSOL simulations were used to determine channel widths and flow rates of the two immiscible phases necessary to create isolated micro environments within droplets.
Additional research examines vitamin-levels in tears as an indicator of nutrition in infants. The current medical test for determining vitamin levels is blood plasma. A correlation between the amount of vitamins in tears and plasma is being investigated with funding from the Gerber Foundation. Engineered medical microdevices, optimized via COMSOL simulations, may provide a rapid, non-invasive, and cost effective way to determine malnutrition.
Protein separations are also being researched in M.D.-ERL. This project will advance small volume protein separations by introducing a new approach, called surface isoelectric focusing (sIEF). sIEF is featuring 100 times smaller than previously reported IEF techniques. The easy and quick fabrication process and a reusable property offer potential of moving the device closer to a future commercialized protein separation chip. Computation simulations enable optimizations of operating and boundary conditions to achieve faster and reliable sIEF separations.

It took me 11 months of on and off gaming to get this plat. This was such a time drain. Took me 88 hours and even that felt like too long. I think I could of done this in 70 hours if there was a run button. Farming the ingots was an utter pain, one of the main reasons why I despise rpgs. But I liked FF13, my first final fantasy which I have played and I liked it. There were times I loved this game, there were times I hated this game. The story was good, the characters personalities were fleshed out better than expected. I may pick up FFXIII-2 in the future.
I also spent a lot of time researching the best ways to farm the ingots and kept a close eye on Treasure Hunter. I almost freaked out when I thought I had all the items but I did not speak too Bhakti yet. I have Serah's theme on the XMB menu so every time I go on, it reminds me of platting this long game and the hours that I put in to get the plat.

Moderate. The time is more time-consuming than anything (and even then, there are many games that are more time-consuming). The hard battles can be beaten with little problem if you've got the right strategies, and they happen to be plastered all over the internet.

The end game was much longer that the story, which consisted mostly of farming the same enemies over and over. I actually has such bad luck finding traps that I was able to full upgrade all items and buy all dark matter outright. Made for an easier time than I expected as I did not have to farm the hardest enemies in the game . The hardest part for me was the time investment.

The main story and the hunts weren't difficult but it took me a really long grind for the gil and the cp for the crystarium. I spent more time on that than on the hunts and the main story. It gets really boring and it's a real test to your patience.

so I haven't finished this one yet but the grinding is starting to get to me, just started chapter 10 and spoiler free I thought I was doing great but then I find out that gil is going to be a nightmare to farm for since so far nothing has dropped any like more tradional FF games, the level up idea is nice but if you want to get far you have to go in literally after every battle or 2 to spend the points to gain something ie magic or health or strength ect,
going on a 3 so far and when I get the plat (fingers crossed) im hoping that I haven't missed anything, story so far just blows my mind and the eildons battles are annoying (thank god for the guide) but 3 down and on my way to bahamut and shortly after that alexander too
so I beat the main game and now its on to grind fest the challenge lol, as for the final boss the 1st and 2nd fase can go suck a big one, the final part was embarrassingly easy, got 4 stars and kinda wished I would of been like 30 sec faster so I could of gotten the trophy for that one and not have to replay the final fight all over again grrr, so far I could give this a 2.5 to a 3 depending on skill for the main story, off to do all the missions and farm for gil since I hear that I will have double the xp points and max out way before I finish getting my items trophy since I need the gil to get items now and I have to sell in order to get gil

Spencer Barasch has been barred for one year from appearing and practicing before the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The former enforcement official in the commission's Fort Worth office has been at the center of a legal maelstrom concerning his role in first helping the SEC decide how to proceed against the Houston financier and sports promoter and then, after leaving the commission, trying to use his background and contacts at the SEC to defend him.
The one-year ban was imposed after Barasch already had agreed to pay a $50,000 civil fine in the case to the U.S. Justice Department.
Barasch was the Associate District Director for the Division of Enforcement from June 1998 to April 2005. He lived in Dallas, but worked out of Fort Worth.
According to the Commission's order, while at the Commission, Barasch took part "personally and substantially" in decisions about possible securities law violations by Stanford and entities he ran, including Stanford Group Company.
After going into private law in 2005, Barasch asked whether he could represent Stanford Group Company before the Commission and was told that he was permanently barred from doing so on any matters in which he had been involved while at the Commission.
Barasch, according to the SEC's order, didn't represent Stanford Group Company at that time.
But the fall of 2006, he billed Stanford Group for 12 hours of work involving matters he had worked on while at the commission.
Among other things, Barasch tried to obtain information about the commission's Stanford investigation from Commission staff in Fort Worth.
The Commission's order found that Barasch's conduct constituted "improper professional conduct" under Rule 102(e) of its rules of practice.

Elance: A Great Place to Find Jobs
Say what you will about job bidding websites, but I think they are a great (and reliable) way for you to find new jobs and some quick sources of income when you are in a bind.
I've talked to a lot of freelance writers, and most of them tend to be on the same page. They prefer finding private clients because they consider private clients to be higher paying and more worthwhile. Now, I've had just as many friends who have taken on a private client that takes weeks upon weeks to pay or they get bitten when it comes to payments altogether. At least with a job bidding website, you are protect. I only take jobs on Elance when the client funds the escrow and I'm not afraid to dispute if the client tries to pull the plug and take the money and run. Especially, if I did nothing to merit that.
If you are looking for work, consider giving Elance a try. I highly recommend the site as a great place to find work. I have one client right now who has been ordering batches of $2,000-$4,000 worth of articles at a time. Naturally, I am not doing all the work on my own. I have been outsourcing it to some of my friends who write and a team I'm apart of. My point is, the work is there if you look for it. You just have to put an effort into looking for it.

Tyrone Biggums Changed My Tire
Driving to work this morning, an 18-wheeler in front of me on the expresseway kicked up something that went under my car. Before I knew it, a woman in the left lane was motioning for me to look at my tire. I immediately got off at the next exit into the gas station. Because if it can happen, it will happen to me.
There is like six tears in my tire. The ish is almost on the rim. Thank God I made it to a safe place in time. While on the phone with my father, this guy comes up and asks do I need my tire changed. Of course, I say yes, becasue I'd still be there today if I had to wait on roadside service. Anyway, he begins changing the tire, but then I realize five minutes into it, this is a damn fool!
First he asked me to turn the radio on so he could "wake up and feel the beat." Okay, dude. Whatever it takes to get this tire on quick. He commences to pull out a 120 oz. can of generic beer and even reached in my car to turn the volume up. Don't play me, dude. All the while he is asking me all kinds of personal questions like I'm really going to tell him where I work (address included) and where I live. He's saying stuff like, "Yeah, mane, I'm trying get some work and you just showed up. See how stuff work out? I know you gon break me off some change or sumthin cuz I'm helping you out...you know what I'm sayin'???" What am I doing? Behind my shades looking like, shoot me. Tyrone Biggums is changing my tire!
Then he stops to chop it up with the Miller Light truck driver and his partner. Every three minutes he is stopping to ask questions and chit chat. Just put the damn tire on already!!! Then he asks me, "You must gon be late for work?" Ya don't damn say, huh? Finally after an eternity, he starts to put the car down. I take the keys out the ignition and he asks what happened to the music. I said, "You're finished. Why do you still need music?" He just stands there. I said, "Sir, I appreciate you, but can you put the jack in the trunk? I gotta go." He sees the $5 bill in my hand and tells the Miller Light guy he has to finish the job because he just knows I got more than $5.
What the hell? Did Tyrone just try to play me yet again when he now smells like the bottom of a trash can after only 15 minutes outside?
I say, "Sir, this is all I have. You can take it or not get anything. And why the hell are you drinking beer this early in the morning? (Wasn't my business but it was bothering me.)
He starts to laugh and I comtemplated cursing his a$$ out on the spot in front of the Miller Light man and the white dude in the Fred Sanford truck.
But I brought it down. It's Monday morning and worse things could have happened. The moral of the story is...Tyrone Biggums changed my tire. These are the kinds of things that happen to me and stranger things have happened. What a life.

Music licensed with :: www.themusicbed.com
When a young couple has known each other for around 15 years (almost as long as I have owned this company...which scares the crap out of me...Im old?) that is basically their entire life in their eyes. It really is for this couple too. They have been pining over each other since they were kids. The truth that I find popping up more and more, is that if you start as friends, you will have a bond like no other. These two have that, like I have with my wife. It was such a great day. And I think it shows in this film. Enjoy.

So earlier this week I camped out for 8 hours at Walmart to get the Nintendo Wii. I would have pre-ordered it but I was on an airplane at the time. :)
Game List: Zelda (haven't played it yet, it's under the xmas tree so I can finish Windwaker first), Red Steel, and Excite Truck. (plus Wii Sports)
The system was really easy to setup and I was delighted to find it had built-in Wifi, with full support for security. (WPA/WPA2/WEP/etc.) Getting used to the "Wiimote" at first was challenging, and even more so was finding the best place to sit so that the controller would read accurately in such games as Red Steel, …speaking of which....
I was a little surprised to find that there's only support for Progressive Scan, not High-Def. Unlike the PS2, the Gamecube's progressive scan was a huge improvement over standard "Composite" video, so I'm hoping the Wii's will be as well. (I'm highly suspicious over the similarities between the GC and Wii hardware at this point… did they change much?)
Red Steel
— Rating: Awesome in small doses, boring for the addictive gamer.
— Baseline: Yakuza-esque Japanese mafia first-person shooter. Full use of the Wiimote and "nunchuck".
Learning to play this game is extremely frustrating, especially if you're new to the Wii. However, it is definitely worth purchasing if you can be patient. (I've really enjoyed playing it.)
Excite Truck
— Rating: Basically a party game, there's no real point in playing it solo.
— Baseline: Use the Wiimote (no nunchuck) sideways as a steering wheel and drift/race fourwheelers out in various challenging open-roads.
Easy to learn, really fun to play. Very competitive with power-ups as you drive, huge jumps, and points for drifting/crashing/etc.
Wii Sports
— Rating: It's free with the console, so that's cool. The games are Tennis (awesome), Baseball (pretty bad), Golf (awesome), Bowling (decent), and Boxing (pretty good).
— Baseline: A collection of sports with which you can play virtually using the Wiimote. Nunchuck needed for Boxing only.
Some of the games have a bit of a learning curve, but overall Wii Sports is understandable to most. Even my parents enjoyed playing it. I applaud Nintendo for including this for us!
My Xbox needed a Wii sticker:

I Melt With You Trailer: For Thomas Jane and Jeremy Piven, Cocaine Is a Hell of a Drug
So much sweaty shouting!
How do you advertise the drama I Melt With You, which is 122 minutes of Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, Rob Lowe, and Christian McKay screaming and snorting cocaine? Well, you do it with a fairly accurate red-band trailer that's got both those things! The midlife crisis movie was not among Sundance's most well received, but this tale of four men whose annual drugs-and-sex trip goes awry (and then there's a suicide pact? Oh man, we had repressed all these memories) got picked up anyway. We sure hope they left in the part where their sweaty shenanigans are juxtaposed with near-subliminal shots of the Challenger explosion! Oh, this movie.

Personalized Word Necklace - Silver Tag Pendant in Word if Your Choice
Personalize this little beauty with your own choice of words (up to 6 letters, please). The possibilities are endless!
Think names, hobbies, motivational words...
The edges of this piece are intentionally "rough" to create the weathered look that I love. If you would prefer clean edges, just let me know!
Each piece is handmade from fine silver, and hangs from an 18 inch sterling silver box chain.
Not familiar with fine silver? Here are the facts:
Fine silver has a higher silver content than sterling silver.
Fine silver is more valuable than sterling.
Due to being 99.9% pure silver, these pieces will not tarnish nearly as quickly as sterling.
This pendant was hand formed. It was fired in my studio kiln at over 1500 degrees before being filed, polished, patinated, and polished again. Choose your finish - darkened antique or shiny silver (as pictured). The result is a one-of-a-kind piece.
A perfect gift for someone special in your life! And don't worry - gifts for yourself are well deserved too!
Don't forget to add a polishing cloth to keep your treasure perfect. I recommend only lightly buffing the raised portions of your pendant, as to not disturb the intentional lowlights.

When the idea of a crossover fight between Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor was first brought up it was widely received as mere talk. Fighters like to do that at times, and nobody really took it seriously.
The notion continues to persist today, and just won't die down.
ALSO READ: Manny Pacquiao is in lose-lose situation vs. Jessie Vargas says analyst
With all his bravado Conor McGregor says he is willing to fight Floyd under boxing rules and beat him in his game. The courageous Irishman just moved up from Featherweight to fight a natural welterweight in Nate Diaz and won in their rematch at UFC 202.
There is no doubt that he can fight. In fact, that's how many MMA fans base his chances on- his toughness and grit. But can he box?
Floyd Mayweather's biggest rival Manny Pacquiao laughed at the idea, in a report by SB Nation. He quickly retained composure to impress his respect for their decision, if it happens, but one couldn't deny the expression of incredulity in his face.
"[Laughs] Well that's his opinion. He has his own opinion, he can decide his own."
"I don't want to make that story big…I want to keep my mouth shut."
ALSO READ: Canelo Alvarez next fight: Conor McGregor after Floyd Mayweather fight? Boxing vs MMA crossover challenges
Freddie Roach, however, who's training Manny Pacquiao in his fight with Jessie Vargas was more direct, brutal in his frankness that comes out as pure comedy.
When asked of his opinion about Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor the hall of fame trainer called Conor a beginner in boxing.
He reiterated his statement a few months back that it'd probably take him 3 years to train McGregor in boxing… at least, and many analysts believe it'd take more to even consider boxing Floyd who'd be 42 years old by that time.
According to a report by Pundit Arena Freddie Roach said, "He seems like a tough guy and all that but being a tough guy doesn't really help you in boxing… I mean, he looks like an okay boxer, he's a very good MMA fighter but the thing is this is boxing and he's kind of a beginner at boxing.
"It probably would take me almost three years to get him ready for a fight against a guy like Mayweather."
"He punches like a girl….that's why he couldn't hurt the other gu-well, he did knock him down three times."
Manny Pacquiao likened the crossover challenge by posing a question, how do you fight against a shark in the ocean? How'd a shark fight you in dry land?

The Spanish National Healthcare Service is considered to be one of the best in Europe. Most statistics show the the equal of the UK NHS and in some cases better. Access to this service is freely available to EU citizens as long as you have taken the necessary steps to prove your entitlement to the Spanish authorities, which in the case of a retired person's S1 document will include applying for a Green Residence registration certificate. The rules for getting state healthcare in Spain are different , the system is contribution based not residence based as in the UK.
A European Health Card will entitle visitors to Spain to health service cover for holiday stays of up to 90 days at a time only.
Once you have obtained all the necessary permits, you then have to register with your local GP to finalize the process., Most National health GPs in Tenerife DO NOT speak English and will require you to bring an interpreter. I can translate at this initial meeting and accompany you to any subsequent doctors or specialist appointments. You would be wise to bring any records of previous medical history with you.
Prescriptions are NOT free even for Pensioners a small percentage contribution is payable for each item of medication.
Ways of qualifying for permanent healthcare entitlement in Spain
- If you are registered to work in Spain and make national insurance contributions then you can get state-run health care on the same basis as a Spanish national. For further information, get in touch with your local TGSS office.
- If you registered as a resident in Spain before 24 April 2012, have an annual income of less than €100,000 and are not covered for healthcare though any other means, speak to your local INSS office to register for healthcare in Spain as a resident.
- If you are in receipt of a UK old age state pension or long term sickness benefit, obtain an S1 form from the International Pension Centre on +44 191 218 7777. Once issued, register the S1 form with your local INSS office, before you register with your local GP surgery and obtain a medical card.
- If you are a worker seconded to Spain, or the family member of a someone making UK national insurance contributions, contact HMRC to see if you have entitlement to an S1 form. Once issued, register the S1 form with your local INSS office , before you register with your local GP surgery.
- If you are coming to study or are currently studying in Spain as part of a UK-recognised course, you may be entitled to healthcare paid for by the UK .
- Purchasing Public Health Insurance -If you are not covered for state-run healthcare through other means, the Spanish regional health authorities offer a special pay-in scheme (convenio especial). This is a public health insurance scheme available nation-wide where you pay a monthly fee to access state-run healthcare. The scheme is managed by each autonomous region. Policy holders, including children, pay on an individual basis for access to public healthcare, regardless of pre-existing conditions, anywhere in Spain. The basic monthly fee is 60€ for the under 65s and 157€ for those aged 65 and above. However, prescriptions are not subsidised at this rate so you would pay 100% of prescription costs. This form of cover doesn't give holders the right to a Spanish EHIC so if youtravel elsewhere you will have to obtain private insurance. The scheme is available in the Canary Islands
Use the table here to find more information on your particular circumstances.

When you are creating an ecommerce business, you are going to want to make sure that you are doing things in the right way. The first thing that you will want to think about is how you are going to design your site. When you are running a physical business and just promoting it online, you do not need a site with the most number of advanced features. Yes, you still want a site that is informative and loads quickly. But with good SEO, you can still take advantage of a site that is fairly bare bones, so long as it has some good information.
But you cannot think in this way if you are wanting to get some ecommerce enterprise underway. And that is why the domain registration and hosting solutions for online stores are a lot more expensive. While you could get away with paying $10 or $15 for a hosting solution for a regular site, you will need to pay anywhere from $60 to $160 if you want to get the best packages for your online store. And when you go to http://1shoppingcart.com/packages, you can see what the different packages are all about. The features are listed for you to see.
For instance, you are getting a domain, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited products, constant mobile store and billing solutions, digital products, affiliate management and email marketing credits. All of these features are something that can help you out, especially if you are just starting up this online store and wanting to ensure it is marketed in the right way. If you incorporate proper SEO and other online marketing techniques within your site, and you have found the best hosting package, you are all set to get your ecommerce operation underway. It is always a challenge to set up such sites, but a great hosting solution can help in a big way.

Is the future of the CE marking's regulatory system in danger?
Last week, this blogpost of the good folks at European Law Blog was brought to our attention. In a well written article, Megi Medzmariashvili informs us about an interesting case that will be brought to the European Court of Justice soon. This 'James Elliot Construction case' concerns the interpretation of the practice of 'attaching' harmonised standards to European directives and regulations. This practice is a specific feature of the CE marking directives and the EU's regulatory approach called the New Legislative Framework.
If the European Court of Justice will follow the opinion of the Attorney General in this case, this could lead to end of one of the corner stones of the CE marking system: the referring to standards developed by private standardisation bodies. It also potentially endangers the European standardisation's financial model and it could bring an end to the protection of harmonised standard's copyrights. We'll be following the developments in this case with great interest!
We thank European Law Blog and Megi Medzmariashvili for allowing us to repost their blog post here:

Respiratory carbon nanotubes: Proteins secreted in lung fluid
- Published: Mar 2, 2015
- Author: Steve Down
- Channels: Proteomics & Genomics / Proteomics
Health implications of carbon nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes were hailed as a new wonder material upon their discovery in 1991 and their potential is being fulfilled with numerous applications that take advantage of their unique mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. These have been expanded by the ability to coat nanotubes with metal oxides which modify the properties to impart improved catalytic activity, conductivity and energy storage capabilities.
There is no doubt that nanotubes are remarkable materials but their widespread introduction came about without any real risk assessment. One of the key potential problems is related to their structure. CNTs are similar to fibres and there is concern that they might initiate the same kind of health effects as asbestos. In fact, some studies have already shown that rodents develop lung inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis after inhaling them.
Scientists at North Carolina State University in the USA decided to see how CNTs affect the proteins in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice, the fluid that resides in the airways which can be an indicator of lung disease. Michael Bereman and colleagues exposed mice to two types of CNTs by aspirating a solution into their airways and the results were compared to those of control animals who were treated with the same solution minus the CNTs.
Mouse model of exposure
Pure multiwalled CNTs and those coated on the surface with aluminium oxide were administered to the mice and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected 24 hours later. After separating the fluid from the CNTs, the proteins in the fluid were treated by conventional digestion and tandem mass spectrometry and measured by a method know as peptide spectral counting.
From a total of 465 individual proteins, those that were present in different amounts between pairs of the three experiments - CNTs, coated CNTs and controls - were identified by searching the constituent peptides against a database of mouse protein sequences.
So, 27 proteins were differentially expressed between the CNTs and the control group, 13 between the coated CNTs and the control group, and 2 between the two CNT groups. In order to ensure that the protein changes were as a result of a true biological response, rather than a physical reaction, the CNTs were added to mouse lung lavage fluid in an in vitro experiment.
From the comparison, only 4 proteins were found to be statistically significant for the in vivo and in vitro studies, so it is safe to assume that the remaining proteins from the in vivo experiment are altered as a result of some biological process.
Immune response activated
Most of the affected proteins were associated with the response to stimuli and the immune response. For instance, myeloperoxidase was raised notably after exposure to both types of CNTs in an immune response. Earlier reports had also found that the same enzyme can degrade CNTs to reduce pulmonary inflammation.
Other proteins that were more abundant after CNT exposure were lactotransferrin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, supporting the induction of an inflammatory response in the lung.
This preliminary study will be supplemented by further work, say the researchers. In particular, "future studies will use protein cleavage isotope dilution mass spectrometry to validate the absolute changes in protein amounts and examine the differences in protein expression across multiple types of multiwalled functionalization."
The results will be used to see how the intracellular pathways are affected by CNT invasion and the overall aim is to identify a set of biomarkers that can be used in peptide assays to assess the degree of toxicity of CNTs with various coatings. In the meantime, the initial work confirms that exposure to CNTs stimulates proteins that are associated with the immune response and inflammation.

Types of Disclosable Materials
- 1 General Principles
- 2 Format of Disclosure
- 3 Specific Disclosable Materials
- 4 Specific Non-Disclosable Materials
General Principles
There is no constitutional obligation to "production of documentary originals".[1] Simply providing access to originals for inspection is sufficient.[2]
Materials including statements and police notes are required to be disclosed under s. 603:
Right of accused
603. An accused is entitled, after he has been ordered to stand trial or at his trial,
- (a) to inspect without charge the indictment, his own statement, the evidence and the exhibits, if any; and
- (b) to receive, on payment of a reasonable fee determined in accordance with a tariff of fees fixed or approved by the Attorney General of the province, a copy
- (i) of the evidence,
- (ii) of his own statement, if any, and
- (iii) of the indictment;
but the trial shall not be postponed to enable the accused to secure copies unless the court is satisfied that the failure of the accused to secure them before the trial is not attributable to lack of diligence on the part of the accused.
R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 603; R.S., 1985, c. 27 (1st Supp.), s. 101(E).
At a minimum, the Crown should disclose "can say" or "will say" statements from any witness it proposes to call at trial.[3]
Evidence that is in an undecipherable form, such as unlockable encrypted data, does not need to be given to defence as disclosure as the Crown cannot properly vet it for disclosable and non-disclosable information. [4]
It is defence counsel's obligation to ensure that the accused has been given an opportunity to review any recordings.[5]
The phrase " his own statement" includes both unsworn statements given at the preliminary inquiry as well as statements given to the police.[6] It will include statements made by the accused at the time of arrest.[7] However, it does not include any statement ever taken of the accused.[8]
A judge has the power to order the disclosure of any statements or documents in order to ensure "fundamental fairness to the accused".[9]

Format of Disclosure
Disclosure must be in a reasonably "workable" format.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the format consideration must be taken where the accused is in custody.[1]
The remand facility must have the equipment to facilitate access to disclosure.[2]
- ↑

See also: R v Cheung, 2000 ABPC 86 (CanLII), [2000] AJ No 704 (ABPC) and R v Grant, [2003] MJ No 382 (MBQB)
Electronic and Paper Form
The accused is not entitled to disclosure in their form of choice. It is in the discretion of the Crown what form it will take. This discretion is reviewable.[1] The main reviewable element of disclosure is whether it is "reasonably accessible" and can include whether electronic disclosure was "organized and searchable".[2] Reasonableness must take into account the circumstances and abilities of the particular accused and counsel.[3]
Where form of disclosure is "such that an accused person is unable to access the information, then it is not meaningful disclosure.".[4]
The "greater the volume of material disclosed, the greater the need for organization and reasonable search capabilities".[5]
The mere absence of computer skills of the accused or counsel will not prevent the use of electronic disclosure so long as the skills are "acquired relative easily".[6]
There is no absolute right to original documents, however, the Crown must explain if the Crown no longer has possession of it. Lost or destroyed documents due to unacceptable negligence will breach the duty to disclose.[7]
There is unlikely merit to suggest that the disclosure should accommodate counsel who is computer illiterate.[8]
When electronic disclosure becomes particularly voluminous, there is an obligation to provide a meaningful index.[9]

Tools and Equipment to Examine Evidence
The crown does not necessarily have to provide the proper software necessary to examine evidence. Software is not "information" and so does not have to be disclosed.[1]
The Crown does not need to pay for the necessary training required to use the software either.[2]
- ↑
R v Cox, 2003 ABQB 212 (CanLII) at para 15 - Crown does not need to provide copy of EnCase forensic software to defence
R v Radwanski, 2006 CanLII 43496 (ON SC)
- ↑ Radwanski - judge rules no need to give software or training when they could attend the RCMP station and use the police copy
Typical Elements of a Disclosure Package
Police compile a package of the evidence consisting of the notes, reports and statements generated during their investigation that is forwarded to the Crown Attorney's office. This usually comprises the initial disclosure package that is made available to the Defence counsel.
Disclosure packages can contain any of the following:
- the Information outlining the charges laid;
- the Crown Sheet or Crown Brief summarizing in the evidence in narrative form and listing the witnesses that are available;
- the Police Notes consisting of handwritten notes made by all the officers involved in the case during their investigation;
- the Witness statements consisting of the verbatim recollection of the potential witnesses to the offence (written, audio, or video form);
- A Cautioned Statement of the accused
- the Criminal record of the accused as recorded in provincial databases or CPIC (Canadian Police Information Centre) printout;
- Copies of Court Orders (Probation Orders; Prohibition Orders; Recognizances)
- Expert Reports
- Certificates of analysis (often for breathalyzer machine results; drug analysis; or firearms test results);
- the Medical records of the victim in cases of resultant injuries;
- Restitution claims where property has been lost or damaged;
- Photographic evidence often consisting of photos of the scene of the incident or injuries.
Further material requested often includes:
- Videos or images of accused while in police custody
- computer printouts of any police database searches related to the accused
- Demands made to client by the police from a script (e.g. Charter caution, breath demand, etc)
- Printed logs and audio recordings of police, 911 dispatch, or ambulance transmissions
- Notes of any professionals, such as doctors, ambulance crew, fire crew, etc. who was present at scene of incident
- records of testing, maintenance, usage, and calibration of breath device used by accused
- notes and reports regarding searches of accused (including strip searches)
- Police action reports: Use of Force Reports, Use of Pepper Spray Reports
- reports and materials related to police procedure on (use of force, taking statements, crowd control, parking violations, use of taser)
- discipline record of officers
- criminal records of witnesses
- police reports regarding witnesses
- records of outstanding charges of witnesses
- Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) printouts of the log of all dispatch activities[1]
- recordings of dispatch communications
- ↑ e.g. see R v Holowaychuk, 2013 ABPC 38 (CanLII) at para 20 to 22
Specific Disclosable Materials
Can Says
There is no disclosure obligations to obtain and disclose a can-say for a witness who is uncooperative in giving a statement.[1]
All witness statements obtained must be disclosed even if they are not going to be witnesses called by the Crown.[2]
Where there are no statements, other information about the witness, including police notes and records concerning the witness, address and occupation, should be disclosed.[3]

Stinchcombe at p. 344

Stinchcombe, supra, at p. 344
Crown Notes
The Crown has an obligation to disclose new information, including inconsistencies in statements, that it learns from pre-trial interviews.[1]
Any Crown notes that relate to opinion or analysis are not disclosable.[2]
Notes of the Crown may be subject to solicitor-client privilege and work product privilege.[3] The burden is upon the Crown to establish that the privilege exists.[4]
Investigative statements taken by the Crown must be disclosed.[5] It should normally be in written form but if time does not permit it should be done in writing and followed up in writing.[6] Disclosing Crown notes may be dangerous as they are often only intended to be an aide memoire and not an accurate rendition of facts. This could be used unfairly at trial.[7]
A peace officer or secretary will usually sit in on meetings with witnesses and take any new statements.[8]
Defence have the burden to prove that the notes exist and are likely relevant.[9] If established, the Crown then has the burden to establish the justification for not disclosing the notes.

Contact Information of Witnesses
Witholding contact information of crown witnesses is in the discretion of the Crown.[1]
Vetting on Security and Privacy Concerns
The contact information of crown witnesses can be withheld for specific security or privacy concerns.[2] This would include situations where threats have been made against witnesses.[3]
Analysis Considerations
Interests to disclose must be balanced against the accused right to make full answer and defence which is enhanced by the ability to contact witness independently.[4]
Courts must still recognize the witnesses right to privacy, and so no party can force a witness to be interviewed.[5] Courts must also protect witnesses from "abusive, harassing, threatening or otherwise improper conduct and to protect witnesses against abusive treatment in and out of Court"[6]
Suggested Protocol
It has been suggested that the following protocol be taken for allowing defence to access crown witnesses:[7]
- At the request of the defence, the Crown Attorney shall make available to the defence a room within the courthouse suitable for a confidential interview of the named witnesses by counsel of record;
- The interviews are to be strictly confidential; no Crown Attorney or police officer is to be present unless requested by the defence;
- The fact of an interview and any and all information obtained during it is to remain strictly confidential. No person, including the witness, the defence counsel, the accused and any other person present for any such interview may disclose any information relating to the interview except as may be necessary in the conduct of the trial itself.
- The named witnesses shall be written a letter jointly signed by all principal counsel of record advising them of the request of the defence to interview them at the courthouse. The letter is to advise the witnesses in the clearest of terms of the existence of this ruling and of the right of the accused to interview them subject to their right to decline to participate in any such interview - the decision is strictly theirs to make. Care is to be taken to ensure the witnesses are not left with the impression they should not grant the defence an interview. The letter is to convey to the witnesses that any such interview will be by the defence counsel of record without any police officer or Crown Attorney present. Moreover, they are to be informed of the order of the Court requiring all persons involved in the interview to maintain the confidentiality of the interview process strictly.
Disclosure on Undertakings
When contact information is provided, it may be ordered that the information be disclosed to counsel but only on undertaking not to disclose personally to the accused.[8]
- ↑ R v Mearow et al, 2013 ONSC 1865 (CanLII) at para 25 citing the Martin Report
- ↑ e.g. R v Charlery,[2011] O.J. No. 2669 - required disclosure due to "general" not "specific" concerns
- ↑ R v Brown [1997] O.J No. 6165

R v Hitchings, 2017 SKPC 56 (CanLII) at para 33
Source Handler Notes and Source Debriefing Reports
A police officer is assigned as an informer's "handler" who will typically create notes that detail the reliability of the informer, these are the debriefing notes, also known as source debriefing notes (SDRs).[1]
For the purpose of challenging a warrant, the right to full answer and defence only requires that the materials provided to the authorizing justice be made available.[2]
Judges must be "exceedingly cautious" if they engage in editing out information that might disclose a confidential informer as inocuous information may reveal the person's identity.[3] Accordingly, judges should give a great amount of deference to the editing suggested by Crown and investigators.[4]
There is some authority suggesting that there is blanket informer privilege over all SDR and SHN.[5]

Preparation of Transcripts
There is no obligation on the crown under s. 10 of the Evidence Act to prepare a transcript of a K.G.B. statement for the purpose of cross-examination.[1]
The request for a transcript takes issue with the form in which the disclosure was provided.[2]
If the Crown obtains a transcript of a defence expert's testimony from a previous hearing that is relevant to the trial it must be disclosed.[3]

Expert Evidence
Under s. 657.3(3)(c), the Defence must disclose a copy of their expert's report or a can-say of their expert witnesses no later than upon the closing of the Crown's case.
Either side intending to submit expert evidence must disclose "the expert's report and any materials which contributed to the foundation of the report or which are clearly relevant to the witness's credibility must be disclosed."[1]

All a fan had to do was ask, and Enrique Iglesias happily obliged.
Jumping out of his car Sunday night, following a concert in Puerto Rico, Iglesias posed with a woman and then took a selfie with the woman's fiancé.
Screaming from her car, "Oh my God, I need a picture with you," the excited fan was thrilled when the Latin super-star emerged to indulge her request.
The Spanish singer, regarded as the "King of Latin pop" posted a video of the encounter on his Instagram page.
"These are the moments that keep me going!!!" the "Duele El Corazón" artist said.

Big Sewell is the first in a series of site-specific projection based projects that work to augment the visual/psychological impact of a place. Portable, bicycle-powered and solar cel/battery-powered projectors are carried out to remote and rural sites. Video and images are 3D projection-mapped onto minute surfaces at the location, and the work is documented in video/photography, or experienced as a performance of light, sound, video, and broadcast/locative media. The works are meant to unlock qualities latent in a space. This transformation is achieved either through visually exploring past events that occurred at the site, or considering personal superimposed memories, (more often than not, works pull from a mix of both).
Big Sewell explores coal mining in Southern Coal Fields of rural West Virginia. Named for the mountain and coal mine located immediately adjacent to the artist's family farm, Big Sewell transforms the surfaces of a hemlock grove into fractures and glimmers of light in the claustrophobic darkness of the surrounding forest. The trees are located above the site of a mining disaster that occurred at the location many years ago.
