Name: Kristine Hernandez
Major: Public relations with a minor in anthropology (Honors College)
Where you interned: National Voices for Equality, Education, and Enlightenment (NVEEE)
What did you do there? I was a public relations intern, however I did a lot more than write press releases. I assisted in reformatting the website; I recorded and edited video content; I carried out interviews; and attended some events/meetings that were hosted or involved with the organization.
How did your internship connect back to your coursework? It all came back to the foundational thinking of how can we gain a following or support with accurate and attractive information.My classes currently are focused on how to put out information effectively, both through writing and with media.
What was the coolest thing about your internship? The coolest thing was being able to know that I was doing something or producing material that was going to help someone who is going through a hard time in his or her life.
What did you like most about your experience? What I liked most was that the environment I was in was more-so relaxed, and allowed me to feel safe in learning and asking questions about my role. I was allowed to practice and learn while working through what I've learned in the classroom.
How did the position increase your professional confidence? My position allowed me to feel like I could contribute my opinion without looking dumb or unintelligent.
How did you expand your professional network? I finally got a LinkedIn as advised from my supervisor and fellow intern, and through it made connections with individuals who are associated with NVEEE (such as the Public Relations Firm 'BryteBox').
How did it help you prove yourself in the "real-world?" Carrying out a professional presentation of self, or completing tasks in a timely manner, have been some of the different ways I've been able to prove myself in the "real-world."
How did you get your internship? I attained this internship through the Honors College. Isabel Green helped me tremendously in trying to find one that would fit my potential professional endeavors.
What advice do you have for those beginning the internship process? Look for an internship with persistence and humility.
Be persistent in finding one, and finding one that fits your schedule and professional dreams. Go about it with humility, whether that's seeking help or asking those around you, or even coming upon an internship that doesn't have everything you wanted. In the end, experience is experience, and who knows what doors your new experience will open.

Mens Health
Men are far less likely to seek doctor's advice than women. This may be because of openness and embarrassment issues or can be due to negligence towards health problems. It is noted that when it comes to prevention and early detection, men's health often takes a back seat to women's health. Due to over stressing and demanding life men often develop various health problems. However in a research it has been showed that men are prone to factors like unbalanced diet, tobacco smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse and sedentary lifestyle. These factors further deteriorate men's health. Conditions are like stress, cardiovascular disorder and diabetes are more severe in men than women. Some health issues are specific to men like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate and testicular cancer.

New York Times | Can Recipe Search Engines Make You a Better Cook?
In a methodical post on her Web site food52.com, the former New York Times writer Amanda Hesser carved up Google's Recipe Search, saying that many recipes it favored contained information that was coded in ways that boosted them in the rankings, even if that information was obviously inaccurate.

They're living it up in Greece! It's been one month since Joseph Duggar became a married man, and now he's enjoying his honeymoon with his new wife, Kendra Caldwell. The newlyweds took a break from their vacation to give fans an update on how their trip — and married life — is going so far.
"We are so excited to be newlyweds now and we are on our honeymoon in Greece and [we're] just having a great time together," the 22-year-old told the TLC cameras, with his arm around Kendra. The young couple said they were excited to try the local Greek cuisine and they were looking forward to experiencing the culture.
On their itinerary is walking through the markets, enjoying a "Dinner in the Sky" — in which a table set for 22 people is lifted 164 feet into the air above Athens for a five-course culinary experience — and paddle boarding and parasailing off the Greek island of Santorini.
"The one thing that we'll probably never forget about this trip is being together in another country and just getting to experience all of these new things," Kendra said, and Joe thanked their fans for supporting them and their relationship.
Joseph and Kendra said "I do" in at the First Baptist Church in Siloam Springs, AR on Sept. 8, 2017, after only three months of courtship — and four months after Joseph popped the question at his sister Joy-Anna Duggar's wedding to Austin Forsyth. After they exchanged wedding vows, the couple had their first kiss at the altar and they opened up about their first-ever kiss. "We are happily married now, just got done with the ceremony — had our first kiss. It was..." Joseph told the TLC cameras, and his wife finished his sentence for him. "Amazing," Kendra said.

There are many effective home remedies for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. People who have been heavily consuming alcohol for years have risk of liver problems such as alcoholic liver disease. But, even those who don't consume a lot of alcohol have risk of the liver disease called NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The severity of the disease often ranges. When there's inflammation on this organ, it is known as NASH, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and this disease stage is serious since it can lead to cirrhosis and even end-stage liver disease.
Fat deposited in liver causes NAFLD, which is not a problem from alcohol consumption. NAFLD is also caused by high cholesterol, rapid weight loss, diabetes or insulin resistance, malnutrition, viral hepatitis, and some medications like aspirin, corticosteroids, amiodarone, tetracycline, diltiazem, or antiviral drugs.
10 Home Remedies for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
So, what are the treatments of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? The purpose of the treatment of NASH or NAFLD is to eliminate potential risk factors or causes of this disease. The most common methods to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is losing weight, stopping some drug treatments, and controlling diabetes.
Although treatments with drugs are often ineffective, they include metronidazole, glutamine infusion, glucagon, and ursodeoxycholic acid. It has been also proven that homemade remedies can be effective in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and we give you the top 10 in continuation.
The best natural way to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is to lose weight. In 2012, the Journal of Hepatology has published a systematic review which shows that a valid, low-cost NAFLD therapy is exercise.
2. Low-glycemic diet
To prevent and treat NAFLD, people should exclude high GI (glycemic-index) foods from their diet. High-glycemic-index foods include brown rice, watermelon, potatoes, and processed foods such as beer, sweetened cereals and chocolate bars.
Foods with low glycemic-index of 55 or less is recommended, and they include onions, garlic, eggs, legumes, pears, apples, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots, green leafy vegetables, artichokes and cabbage.
3. Milk thistle
Silybum marianum (Milk thistle) is regarded as the number one herbal remedy to improve the function of liver, and to prevent and treat NAFLD. It contains flavonoids which protect from liver damage, improve the detoxification process, increasing the hepatic glutathione.
The recommended daily dose of milk thistle is 900 milligrams twice a day, taken with meals.
4. Dandelion
The root and leaf of dandelion is often used to support proper function of the liver, and it's an effective cleansing herb for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This herb detoxifies and metabolizes build-up fat in the liver.
Prepare a tea from dandelion roots by adding a tsp of dried roots to a cup of hot boiling water. Cover, the cup and let it stay for up to 10 minutes. The, just strain the decoction and your tea is ready. Drink 3 cups of this tea a day in a period of 3 weeks.
5. Amla or Indian gooseberry
Amla (Indian gooseberry) is an herb popular for its rejuvenating properties, widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of fatty liver disease and diabetes. It is also known as amalaki fruit, and contains essential antioxidants which can aid in the proper liver function, such as ellagic acid, vitamin C, gallotanin, galic acid, and corilagin.
6. Licorice root
Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice root) is one more efficient NAFLD remedy used in Ayurvedic medicine. Prepare a tea from licorice root by pouring boiling water in a cup with a tsp of licorice root powder, and allow it stand for 10 minutes. After that, strain and your tea is ready. Drink this tea once or twice a day.
7. Turmeric
Curcuma longa (Turmeric) contains the powerful compound called curcumin, used in medicine in the treatment of jaundice and more liver diseases. Since it minimizes oxidative stress, lowers the release of inflammation, enhances insulin sensitivity, and alters fat metabolism, turmeric decreases liver injury and NAFLD.
8. Flaxseed
Flaxseed contains phytoconstituents which aid in the prevention of strain on the liver caused by harmful hormones. To preserve the freshness and prevent rancidity, ground the flaxseed in a coffee grinder. Flaxseed oil is excellent addition to many salads.
9. Cinnamon
Cinnamomum seylanicum (Cinnamon) is regarded as a warm herb which aids digestion, and improves the liver health. In 2014, Nutrition Research has published a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, according to which daily dosage of 1,500 milligrams of cinnamon can effectively improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
10. Cilantro
Coriander or cilantro is another beneficial herbal remedy for the protection of liver. It is mostly used for NAFLD-related conditions, especially diabetes. This herb contains antihyperglycemic and antioxidant properties, as shown by studies conducted on diabetic rats.
Advices for Liver Disease Prevention
We list several advices for prevention of liver disease, and precautions to take for those with a liver transplant.
Exclude all processed foods. Besides processed foods, you should also avoid ingredients like corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which can produce uric acid and lead to increased blood pressure, gout, and liver damage. Corn and other harmful genetic modified foods will kill the good gut bacteria and impede digestion, which will make the liver work harder.
Limit the consumption of saturated fat. Consume nutrient-dense diet with whole foods to improve immunity and prevent liver disease.
Avoid dangerous drugs. Tylenol ( acetaminophen) in large quantities is regarded as a harmful drug for the liver.
Avoid consuming alcohol. The best thing is to stop consuming alcohol even if your fatty liver disease is not the alcoholic variety. Have in mind that some cough syrups and other drugs contain alcohol in their content.
Avoid live virus vaccines. These vaccines shouldn't be given to liver transplant patients.
Check your liver enzymes. Undergo liver enzyme tests if you have fatty liver disease.
Pregnancy precaution. Those who have undergone a liver transplantation should avoid staying pregnant for at least 1 year after the transplantation. Also, when these women give birth, they shouldn't breastfeed their babies in order to avoid potential risk of the baby to immunosuppressive drugs in the milk.

Sporting Kansas City traveled nearly 4,500 miles over the past week to play a pair of matches.
The journey home will feel even longer.
Philadelphia Union dismantled Sporting KC to the tune of 4-0 Saturday night at PPL Park in Chester, Pa., extending Sporting KC's road winless streak to five matches.
Peter Vermes' club entered the night with a chance to move ahead of D.C. United for first place in the Eastern Conference — needing a victory to do it — but instead surrendered four goals for the first time this season.
'"I think travel was a difficulty. But at the end of the day, we weren't sharp enough," Vermes said. "We came out, and we were sluggish. We had a difficult time getting anything going."
The task of winning on the road became even more difficult 59 seconds into the game.
Philadelphia forward Jack McInerney cleaned up a mess in front of the net in the opening minute when he booted his first goal of the season past keeper Jimmy Nielsen, who whiffed on an attempt to clear out Raymon Gaddis' crossing pass.
McInerney, making only his second start of the season, ended another scramble with his second goal in the 43rd minute, giving Philadelphia, 3-8-2, a two-goal cushion heading into halftime. Nielsen halted a point-blank attempt from Carlos Valdes off a free kick from former teen sensation Freddy Adu, but all it took was a light tap from McInerney to balloon the lead to two goals.
"Things might have been different in the second half if you take away that goal," Vermes said. "That put them in a real good position, and they were able to slow the game down and hit the ball long. They didn't have to play aggressive offense at that point."
They managed a couple more scores anyway.
The Union entered the match with a league-low eight goals in its first 12 matches. It added a penalty kick goal from Lionard Pajoy in the 81st minute after Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin was charged with taking out Antoine Hoppenot in the goalie box. Hoppenot scored six minutes later for the 4-0 final.
Sporting KC, 9-4-2, was held to three shots on goal — all after halftime — in a lackluster offensive performance. Twenty-year-old Zac MacMath stopped all three for his fourth shutout of the year.
The difficult trek continues for Sporting KC. The club plays host to Dayton in a U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal battle on Tuesday at Livestrong Sporting Park before returning to MLS action against Chicago on Friday.
"(Tuesday) is a big game for us, because we have a chance to play our way into the semifinals of the (Open) Cup," Vermes said. "So there's not a lot of time for us to think about this one. We have to move on and get ready for the next game."

Then why introduce another dependency on it, when > configuration can do the same? > I understand and agree with your point, and the initial version of preloading was implemented using configuration only. Now Cocoon has a long history where the lifestyle of components is defined by interfaces, allowing configuration writers not to care about it. So requiring them not to forget this preload="true" would very likely cause problems because people aren't used to it. Hence the idea of a marker interface. Now some points are worth mentioning: - the configuration attribute preload="true|false" is still available if you don't want to use marker interfaces, or if you want to preload components that don't implement these interfaces. - this is for ECM-managed components only. Other containers have different ways of specifying lifecycle. - along with Avalon-defined Startable which requires two additional methods, the Cocoon-defined Preloadable marker interface will also be supported. - as I stated in my previous post, the marker interface are added to Cocoon components that *must* be loaded at startup time, thus ensuring proper startup even if preload="true" is missing. Hope this makes things clearer.

In this talk I will present how we use Python, PySpark and AWS as our preferred data science stack for the Internet of Things, which allows us to efficiently develop and deploy smart data applications on top of IoT sensor data. We use these technologies to analyse and model IoT timeseries data, as well as to build automated and scalable data pipelines for smart IoT data applications in the cloud.
The Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 are here, bringing along a vast amount of connected devices and sensors producing even more data.
In order to build smart applications on top of IoT sensor data we need to deal with the challenges that come along time-series data from a large amount of devices.
At WATTx we build data application prototypes in the field of smart homes, smart buildings, and smart climate, which involves making use of data coming from many IoT sensors measuring -- amongst others -- temperature, humidity, motion, and luminance.
The purpose of this talk is to present how we use Python and Spark to effectively analyse and model IoT data. In particular I will introduce how we use Python to process and model data from multiple IoT sensors, build machine learning models on top of it, and use Spark to scale and deploy our models in automated data pipelines in the cloud as smart IoT applications.
I will use the development of predictive models for smart building applications as a real-world example to demonstrate this setup.
I hope that this talk will give valuable insights on how Python and PySpark in conjunction with AWS are powerful tools to work with time-series sensor data from the Internet of Things and build data products on top of it.

Chatting in their living room a few days ago, Diana Cutaia and Monica VanBuskirk fit the part of soon-to-be-newlyweds showing off homespun wedding favors, completing each other's sentences and offering hugs when the conversation turned to painful topics.
Amid the lesbian couple's excitement over legalization of gay marriage in Massachusetts beginning Monday, there have been many hugs over painful times, too.
The women are Catholics who sought out the premarital counseling the church requires before priests will marry anyone. They found a priest to do the counseling but not the wedding -- they may not be married in the Catholic Church.
They are daughters of devout Catholics and said they have been ostracized by many in their families. Their parents will not attend their wedding, and VanBuskirk's mother offered to take her siblings on a vacation to Ireland so they are out of the country on their wedding day.
"Sure, in an ideal world, we'd like our whole family to be there and a full ceremony in a Catholic church and all that," Cutaia said. "But at the end of the day, it's not about those other things -- it's about us."
While the weddings of several thousand gay and lesbian couples are under legal challenge in San Francisco, here in Massachusetts, history will be made on Monday: Marriage licenses will be granted, and the first officially state-sanctioned same-sex weddings ever in the nation will take place.
The legal and political obstacles to the day were overcome by gay activists and their supporters. But for many same-sex couples, family and religious challenges remain.
Many mainstream churches will not conduct same-sex weddings. The Catholic Church, which is also a cultural and political force in Massachusetts, has been among the strongest opponents of the decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that ruled prohibition of gay marriage unconstitutional.
Boston Archbishop Sean P. O'Malley has cautioned against "vilification of any group of people, especially our homosexual brothers and sisters," but said in statement this week that "the creation of a right to same-sex marriage in the end will not strengthen the institution of marriage within our society but only weaken it as marriage becomes only one life-style choice among many others."
"When you hear things like that it sounds like they are preaching hate," Cutaia said.
Even more hurtful has been the response of Cutaia's and VanBuskirk's parents.
"I love my daughter, and I always will," Diana's father, Anthony Cutaia, said in a telephone interview from Boca Raton, Fla., where he lives. "But to me, there is no marriage. That's what it comes down to. Whatever exercise they go through is fine, but it's not a marriage."
VanBuskirk's parents declined to be interviewed for this article. Her uncle and godfather, Ed VanBuskirk, sent her a Bible study book two months ago, referring her specifically to a chapter titled "How Can I Resist Evil?"
Ed VanBuskirk, who lives in Kansas City, Mo., said in an interview that he has called Monica several times in recent months to try to better understand why she decided to marry a woman. "I haven't figured it out. I don't think anybody has," he said. "I am not trying to scold her, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't pray that she'd change her mind."
Cutaia and VanBuskirk met at a conference in Las Vegas three years ago. Cutaia had already been married once, to a man, for four years. VanBuskirk was about to enter her senior year at Smith College, in Northampton, Mass.
They have lived together, more or less, ever since. Cutaia, 31, is a basketball coach and sales manager at a fitness club. VanBuskirk, 23, works for the sports television network ESPN.
They are good for each other, both say. Cutaia, a pragmatist and occasional workaholic, had never taken a vacation without leaving a cell phone number on her answering machine greeting, until VanBuskirk encouraged her to really get away.
Laid back and bubbly, VanBuskirk said she is inspired by Cutaia's organization and ambition. Adorning their kitchen are a series of posters Cutaia made, listing various career and personal goals, some labeled "achieved" in blue marker. No. 6 is "get married."
"They really are so in love it's disgusting. There is no doubt in my mind they were meant for each other," said Cutaia's older sister Dawn Cutaia-Watchilla, who will be coming from York, Pa., for the wedding. In February, Cutaia-Watchilla wrote an e-mail to her diocese objecting to the church's stance on same-sex marriage. "My sister, Diana, is gay and this issue has completely divided my family," she wrote. "It seems as if only Catholics with a narrow mind are welcome at Church anymore."
Cutaia first proposed to VanBuskirk two years ago. They anticipated having a commitment ceremony and sought out the pre-Cana classes required of all Catholic couples planning to marry. But finding a priest willing to work with a gay couple was hard.
"I asked everyone I knew in the Catholic world if they knew of anyone who might be willing to do this," Cutaia said. "When I found him, he said he wasn't sure and that he had to pray about it for a couple of weeks. He got back to us -- he said he would put us through the same thing he put straight couples through. He said it would last a year, which seemed pretty long. Some people only go for an hour or two, but he is very by-the-book."
The priest, whom the couple described as an active member of the clergy in his fifties, would not be interviewed for this article for fear of being censured by the church, Cutaia and VanBuskirk said.
They said they have either met with him in person or spoken with him on the phone for an hour every two weeks since the classes began last summer. "He taught us to think about our relationship as a triangle, with God at the top and us on the sides," VanBuskirk said. "The closer we are to God, the closer we are to each other."
They joined a gay Catholic community called Dignity Boston, where up to 150 members worship each Sunday in an Evangelist church in Beacon Hill.
They pray together almost every night, though these days with Cutaia working normal hours and VanBuskirk on the 4 p.m.-to-midnight shift, they sometimes have to do so over the phone. "One of our favorite things to do is attend Mass together," Cutaia said. "We knew from the start that faith would have to play a major role in our relationship."
Then, on Nov. 18, the court announced its decision, outlawing prohibition on same-sex marriage. VanBuskirk called Cutaia at work. "Oh, my God," she recalled sputtering into the phone. "It's going to happen." They began plans not for a commitment ceremony but a wedding.
They are also being trained as Eucharistic ministers, and on their wedding day, June 5, will participate for the first time in a Mass, led by the priest who has counseled them. After that, the priest will depart, before the ceremony begins. "He told us he can't be part of that. He has a lot to lose," Cutaia said. The actual marriage will be performed by a justice of the peace at a community center.
Each has a sister serving as maid of honor, and Cutaia's 22-year-old brother will be master of ceremonies. It will be a traditional ceremony with a few exceptions: a Pablo Neruda poem subbed for one of the liturgical readings, and a 26-year-old flower girl, a friend of the couple's. The couple invited more than a hundred guests, though many family members will not be coming.
When she told her parents she was gay a few years ago, her mother took it the hardest, VanBuskirk said, writing in one memorable line from a 17-page letter to the couple: "You are turning your faces from God."
Her 12-year-old sister sent her an e-mail recently, begging her not to get married and asking, "What happens if you meet Mr. Right?"
"I called and told her," VanBuskirk said. "Diana is Miss Right."

Having loved my own border collie and admired her understanding of the spoken word and even the unspoken word, I found Chaser to be a bittersweet read. I felt that Chaser, like a gifted child, lived with the pressure to perform and to constantly show his knowledge. Yet, I found joy in reading about a beloved pet that loved to work just like my beloved Cassie.
I recall many years ago, when I was fortunate to have a wonderful canine companion, also a Border Collie, whom I would let out in the backyard upon returning from work each night. When I would bring out her food, I would find her sitting in front of a pile of peaches, gnawing on them. Since there wasn't a peach tree in the yard, I would have to sneak out and discover that she had dug a hole in the corner by the fence, where a wooded area bordered the yard, and she would make several runs bringing peaches back into the yard. If that isn't abstract intelligence. . . .

In Part 1 of this two-part article exploring the implications of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) for healthcare providers, healthcare leaders and health IT experts discussed why it's critical for clinicians to think strategically, rather than tactically, about MACRA compliance. Part 1 was published last week and can be found here.
MACRA, which was passed with bipartisan support in Congress, launched its first reporting period in January 2017 in which eligible Medicare clinicians will be reporting to a Quality Payment Program (QPP) that determines a physician's reimbursement based on the high quality, efficient care they provide that's supported by technology. MACRA includes two payment tracks that eligible Medicare clinicians can take part in that will determine their payment adjustments in future years. Early on in the program, most of these clinicians are expected to participate in the less risky Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) track as opposed to the Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs) track.
Part Two of this article explores the operational and reputational implications of MIPS reporting and the technology investments that will be vital to success.
As reported by Healthcare Informatics Managing Editor Rajiv Leventhal, the Trump administration is currently reviewing potential 2018 updates to MACRA that would especially ease the burden the new legislation puts on small physician practices. In the first performance year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) allows physicians to "pick their pace" of participation. It's expected that new Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tom Price, M.D. will extend that flexibility, Leventhal reported. The proposed rule from Price is expected to drop in the coming weeks, if not sooner.
However, even if CMS does extend that flexibility, the MIPS score performance threshold will eventually increase, and provider organizations need to be prepared in order to "keep up with a treadmill that is going faster and faster," according to Tom Lee, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Chicago-based consulting and software firm SA Ignite. "We are seeing physician practices that are concerned about the immediate and annual reimbursement impacts regarding the payment adjustment, but they are even more concerned about the reputational impact. The winners get richer and the losers get poorer, and then you get to a point where you are not going to be able to catch up."
Operational and Reputational Implications
Healthcare provider organizations' MIPS scores will be publicly reported to the Physician Compare website, and will also be accessible by other third party rating systems including Yelp, Angie's List, Health Grades and Google, something that about half of physician practices were not aware of, according to a recent Black Book Research survey, as reported by Healthcare Informatics.
Lee notes that while CMS has made it relatively easy for physicians to avoid a penalty for the 2017 reporting year, many physicians may not be considering the long-term reputational impact of having a lower score than their peers. "If you get 18 out 100 points, you'll avoid a penalty by more than 15 points as CMS has set an artificially low threshold of 3 points. However, your 15 out of 100 points will be publicly reported through the Physician Compare website hosted by CMS and you run the risk that your 15 out of 100 points may not look so good to a consumer that's now looking at how you compare to another clinician on this score out of 100 that has the Medicare stamp of approval on it," he says.
He continues. "That score basically sticks with you for at least two years, and probably forever. If you pick up and leave an organization in 2018, but you've already earned the score of 2017, and then you go to a new organization, that new organization in 2019 will inherit the payment adjustment for MIPS that you earned in 2017. So, the MIPS score is basically irrevocably stamped to your resume as a clinician, and that has very broad implications for physician recruiting, contracting, compensation and credentialing. And a lot of physicians don't realize that."
Many healthcare IT leaders recommended that physician groups establish a multidisciplinary MIPS steering committee consisting of clinicians, staff, administrators, IT, and finance, if they haven't done so already. "The MIPS committees that we see being spun up are very cross functional. The people involved in those MIPS discussions, at a leadership level, they come from every single function, so instead of just the CIO, you get the chief experience officer (CXO), the chief quality officer (CQO) and the COO because MIPS broadly impacts almost every function," Lee says.
The focus of a cross-functional MIPS steering committee and organizational leadership should not be on just complying with MIPS requirements for 2017, but on the strategic implications moving forward, many industry leaders say. Lee points out that as the "pick your own pace" options end at the end of this year, it could be sink or swim for most organizations when it comes to MACRA in 2018.

WHEN THE TEARS DRY – By Ojo Oyeyemi
It was the last stick of the packet of cigarettes. The smoke danced spirally spreading across the parlour. Mr. Charles had just snuffed the glowing tip of the cigarette, crushing the stick in the ashtray. His teeth gleamed, emitting the fading whiff of tobacco as he took the last sip from the drink. His delectable wife and sixteen-year-old son, Drake, dashed in unexpectedly pushing the ajar door as he stood to return the tray.
'Dad, I'm back from school', Drake said in a gentle voice.
The night was falling. Betty, Mr. Charles' wife went round and lit the rooms and compound. The house shone against the darkness of the night. As she moved closer to the entrance, she heard a knock at the door. It was the driver, Tara and his daughter, Hope, waiting and sweating. They had run through the thick of the night after receiving the news of the closure of the application of the admission into the university. Hope was a young brilliant child who struggled against all odds to qualify for the scholarship award offered by one of the Ivy Leagues in America. Her dad had been supporting her with the meagre income he earned as a chauffeur in Mr. Charles' noble duplex.
Tara and his daughter knelt on the floor begging Mr. Charles for financial assistance. Tara needed some money to complete the admission process for his daughter. They watched helplessly as Mr. Charles shouted scornfully,
'I can't give you my money, you lazy man…I can't…You good for nothing man!'
Tara and Hope burst into tears as they were forced out of the door. The night aged deeper as they returned home.
The day broke. Beyond their fears, Tara received a call from an old friend who agreed to pay the money needed for the admission with no strings attached.
Seven years later, Hope returned to Nigeria after her Postgraduate Programme in the United States. She had topped her class and was given a chance to continue her education to the postgraduate level. She had only spent a few weeks in Nigeria when an oil and gas firm employed her as the head of their engineering team. She rose to the peak.
Through it all, Mr. Charles had lost his job and his businesses collapsed. His family had lived on well-meaning friends and extended family members. The beautiful times had turned sour. Drake struggled to complete his university education in Nigeria despite the tough times. Twenty-four-year-old Drake applied for a job in a blue-chip company. He had prepared so hard but met the unspeakable sight on the day of his interview. His dad's former driver's daughter, Hope, was the head of the panel chosen to conduct the interview. Staring in dismay, he struggled in silence holding back the tears. Hope ordered him to settle down as the memories of the past drummed in his mind. He became so perplexed, discomfited and filled with inordinate fears. He sweated profusely in the air-conditioned room. His expectations shrank in the fading silence as he raised his head to answer questions from the panel. The interview ended. He left the room in amazement thinking about Hope. He walked dragging his feet as his fate hanged in uncertainty.

If you really think about it, it's not difficult to find the similarities between goaltenders and superheroes: Goalies are quite literally masked men, their armour helps them stop vulcanized rubber bullets, they can fly (diving save across the ice to make a save, right?), and they can save the day each time they step on the ice and help their team win a game – or even a championship.
For London Knights goaltender Kevin Bailie, his abilities were finally noticed as he was named the CHL Vaughn Goalie of the Week for the week ending December 2, 2012. During this time, Kevin went 4-0-0-0 with a goals-against-average of 1.96, and .944 save percentage.
It's no surprise then to find Batman, the Caped Crusader, painted on one side of Kevin's mask. Here is a side-by-side-comparison of the mask Kevin wears, which is painted by Gilders Design.
(Photos courtesy of Gilders Design)
The thing about superheroes, though, is that everybody waits for them to fail. It's part of the appeal, I guess, to watch someone of such great ability fall. It brings them back to being human, to being more like the rest of us. They're not perfect, but I don't think they claim to be. Without their mask or their armour, they're just like you and me. They're normal people, but when the moment strikes, they tap into special powers. They focus and elevate their abilities to do extraordinary things.
As Thomas Wayne told his son Bruce in the 2005 movie Batman Begins, "And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
Having known Kevin for the past five years, I have seen him relentlessly work on making himself a better goaltender. His attention to detail and understanding of what it takes to be successful night in and night out has been building ever since he broke into the OHL as a 16-year old rookie with the Oshawa Generals.
Off the ice, he's incredibly smart and a genuine person.
On the ice, when he dons his mask, he taps into his athletic abilities, using his speed, strength and vision to save the day.
Congratulations, Kevin. You made a positive impact on everyone you met as part of the PRO Goaltending team and we look forward to your continued success, on and off the ice.
-Michael Lawrence.

Of course the EU bureaucrats like to make plenty of rules, such as how curved a banana should be, which many people see as interference. But the EU has allowed us to live, work and retire in any other EU country; we have greater protection from terrorism and cyber-crime; and the EU has put into place many initiatives to protect the environment.
I don't think stability and peace is something we should take for granted. Yes, the EU has some problems, but in the end, we are stronger together.

Beef Burgers
Combine budget-friendly ground chuck with chopped onion, celery, and parsley for the burger patties. Because ground chuck has more fat than extra-lean ground beef, you don't have to worry about the patties sticking to the grill.
How to Make It
Combine ground chuck, onion, celery and parsley in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir just to blend with a spoon or your hands; do not overwork mixture. Form into 8 patties. Chill until ready to use. Prepare a charcoal fire or set a gas grill to medium-high. Cook burgers, turning once, 8 minutes for medium-rare. Serve on warm toasted buns.

I use 6.0 and 6.5 at work and there's some pretty big changes, the biggest being thick vs html5 client. Would you suggest 6.0 or 6.5 to study for the test?Are there potential changes to the cert track before December now that VMWorld US just concluded and vSphere 6.5 U1 has been out for a while?

Question about Computers & Internet
Still can not see files. if i put on an external monitor it is working fine.
what else can i do ??????????
Posted by vlbarron on
the screen is dimmly lit. where can i find some place to adjust it to bright? i have a new inverter and new screen. could it be a software issue? with the acer 5602?
Did you check that the brightness control is turned up?
The main power inverter, or the LCD interface driver circuit area on the monther board may have a fault.
Jerry G.
Posted on Nov 25, 2008
I don't know the details for your laptop. You should consult the user manual about how to control the brightness of your screen. With my laptop I press Fn + (arrow left) or (arrow right) to control the brightness.
I have seen various hardware failures cause brightness problems.

NOT Your Average Womens Denim PantsMonday, May 23, 2016

I met Jimmy Hankins, the founder and designer of Asbury Denim, at market this past February to do some shopping for our men's raw denim line. When inquiring about a possible women's denim line from the Asbury Park brand, Jimmy suggested that I try the male's skinny fit. I slid them on and instantly felt a little edge. All of you know, I love to add hints of edge where ever possible. Check out the look and read about my new "distressing" denim project.
Get The Look: Top - The Attic Apparel | Asbury Park Denim - The Attic Apparel | Hat - The Ivory Closet | Larissa Loden Bracelet - The Attic Apparel | Converse Chuck Taylor's - Journeys
These jeans are not your average women's denim pants because...they aren't women's denim at all! Asbury Park Denim is a gentlemen's line that has been spotted on the likes of Frank Ferrer drummer from Guns and Roses, actor Oliver Stark, and Pat Gerasia of Red Sun Rising, to name just a very few. What makes this line so unique is that it "custom distresses" meaning, your repetitive movements will wear the denim in certain areas over time creating a distressed look custom to you. One catch, you don't wash these! I know, I know, I was a little weary of this too, but Jimmy explained the true way that denim is meant to be worn and it all made sense!
When jeans were pulled off of the Cone Mills back in the day, they were considered RAW. The denim was then purchased from consumers to be worn on the job. As men wore their denim day after day, the dirt, repetitive movements, and items that they kept in their pocket, all began to distress their jeans. Distressing is a trend that became popular once jeans were viewed as a fashion closet staple among women and men, however the true birth of the distressed look derived from the hard working men of America. The custom distressing and the fact that it takes time to get your look just right makes these jeans one of a kind. No worries ladies...once you get your pair just like you like them, you can wash them for the very first time to set your look and then go on cleaning them up in the washing machine from there on out.
I love the idea of getting craft with these jeans, Some folks sew on cool buttons around the waist band for uniqueness or for suspender attachment. Custom patches are also a great look for added edge.
Right now I have only gotten to wear mine 3 times, but I look forward to really making these jeans special over time and may even experiment with elements of the earth. For instance, I LOVE the sea. I have been thinking about taking these with me on every beach vacation to run them in the ocean water, collecting salt and sea sediment from all over the world.

Brett updated us on his 4th solo album and below is what he had to say…
"some nebulous news for you regarding the next opus. we've reached the next phase and the songs are pouring out like honey . we spent the last couple of weeks recording vocals and doing monitor mixes and have two good handfuls of tracks pretty much finished bar fine tuning and mixing. it's going to be a really dynamic record… everything was pretty much played live and you can really feel the energy. favourite tracks?… there's this huge, anthemic beast called 'Unsung', a pounding kind of Krautrock thing called 'Brittle Heart' , a damaged and desperate tale of entanglement and obsession called ' This Must Be Where it Ends' and a bitter -sweet pop song called ' Crash About to Happen' which reminds me of 1980's indie. we were listening to lots of PIL and Siouxsie when we were recording it so it's not surprising that the album has some of those flavours, although as i'd hope you'd expect it still sounds very much like me. for better of for worse i'm kind of trapped within myself and my own style and i suppose my quest is to slowly whittle my work down into the best version of that that i can.
working with Leo has again been a pleasure and a fantastic learning experience for me. he'll never take the easy option when making music and he's always looking for a twist . it's a commendable attitude to have in the powder-puff music industry and one which means that his work is always challenging and interesting. together i think we're making something special and i can't wait for people to hear it."
Some interesting song titles there and I also like the eclectic mix of styles the album will seem to have.
This just wets the appetite even more now though!

HA NOI (VNS)— Lawmakers have agreed to issue the Law on Public Investment to improve the efficiency of public investment in line with the country's socio-economic development plan, while also meeting the demand for economic restructuring.
The draft law was discussed at the 21th session of the National Assembly Standing Committee yesterday.
Public investment using State capital sources has led to some problems in the past, such as the approval of investment plans and decisions without considering capital balance ability and scattered investment allocation, thus leading to prolonged implementation, ineffective investment and wastefulness, say lawmakers.
The implementation of projects exceeding their capital allocation plans still occur, causing outstanding debts in infrastructure construction, thereby putting pressure on the State budget at all levels.
The lack of a comprehensive legal system, particularly in the shortage of supervision and management measures and mechanisms, is a key factor behind these problems.
The NA Standing Committee said the law's issuance should have a strong impact on the investment restructure process, tightening discipline on public investment and resolutely handling the shortcomings that remain in State management of public investment, particularly in investment plan decisions, investment preparedness and capital allocation.
However, some participants still wonder if the new law will be consistent with existing and related laws already in the legal system, such as the Laws on State budget, investment, construction, bidding and land. These existing regulations have been the legal basis nationwide for investment management in general and public investment in particular.
The NA Standing Committee proposed that the compiling board first review and check existing laws and also draft laws to create cohesion and comprehensiveness within the legal system.
Chairman of the NA Law Committee Phan Trung Ly pointed out the need to clarify the difference between the draft law on public investment and the laws on State budget, construction, bidding and, particularly, the law on State capital management.
The NA Standing Committee requires that the law on public investment deal with issues such jurisdiction, to decide investment plans for public programmes and projects; medium-term investment plans; foundations for investment decision making; and bidding prices.
Minister of Planning and Investment Bui Quang Vinh said the law basically has no entanglements with existing laws. The law's adjusted scope focuses on regulating the whole process of managing and using public investment sources from the State budget, Government bonds, local bonds, Official Development Assistance capital sources and preferential loans from donors, and development investment credits from the State and other sources, he said. If the law is issued, it would help to minimise scattered and prolonged capital allocation, Vinh said, adding that under the law, projects without capital would not be allowed to be implemented.
The law will also regulate the responsibilities of related individuals and organisations as well as provide a punishment mechanism for violations relating to public investment, he added.
Standing Committee closes
The NA Standing Committee wrapped up its 21st session yesterday after preparing the agenda for the sixth session of the National Assembly next month - the last sitting of 2013.
In his closing remarks, NA Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung, who presided over the two-week session, said the sitting will take place from October 21 to November 26. He stressed the need for relevant agencies to work closely with each other to complete documents and reports scheduled to be submitted in time for the upcoming session.
The committee members also commented on the amended draft Law on Construction for the first time yesterday. According to Construction Minister Trinh Dinh Dung, the amended law stipulates the rights and obligations of organisations and individuals investing in construction projects.
Lawmakers agreed on the need to heighten the role, validity and efficiency of state management for investments in construction. They also suggested learning from the experiences of Russia, China, the Republic of Korea and Japan in this field when compiling amendments to the law.
Lawmakers discuss poverty
The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs will continue providing poor people with vocational training and credit support next year alongside other measures to reduce poverty.
The minimum wage for next year was being decided in line with regulations, Minister Pham Thi Hai Chuyen told members of the NA Committee for Social Affairs at its sixth session which opened yesterday.
The National Wages Council was studying a wage increase road map for businesses that would likely be submitted to the Government this month and go into effect next year, she said.
The ministry reported creating jobs for more than 992,000 people so far this year, including over 54,000 migrant workers who travelled to other countries. The figure is expected to increase to 1.5 million by the year-end, fulfilling 96.25 per cent of the annual target.
The number of poor households is expected to decline to 7.6-7.8 per cent by the year-end from 9.6 per cent in 2012. Currently there are over 2.1 million such households.
Regular expenses of the State budget managed by the ministry this year topped VND608 billion ($28.8 million) while expenses for national target programmes and master plans approved by the Prime Minister reached more than VND883 billion ($41.8 million).
During the three-day working session, participants will also discuss health ministry budget collection and disbursement estimates for 2014 and reports on draft amendments to the Law on Employment and the Law on Marriage and Family. — VNS

Re: Thomas Jefferson Aker (1818-1899)
My grandmother is Elizabeth Rose Aker Tea, daughter of Joseph Wiley Aker. Joseph Wiley Aker also lived in the mountains near Alpine Arizona. He was married to Rae Miller and they had several children. Joseph Wiley Aker Jr, Cecil Aker, Governor Aker (he was the Mayor in Safford Arizona), David (Hambone) Aker, Virginia Aker, Elizabeth Aker, Miller Aker, Robert Aker and I can not recall other names at this time. Joseph Wiley Aker was the first superintendant at Duncan School in Duncan Arizona and was the Judge in Greenlee County Arizona. We hold an Aker family reunion at Aker lake (Alpine Arizona) every two years or so. The last reunion was in 2008 and if you are interested in e mailing me I can share some of the photos of the Akers and families.
