Country Drama Takes Down Badlands In Corpus Christi
Texas Country "94.7 Badlands FM" is off the air in Corpus Christi in what they are claiming is a "contract dispute".
Davila Broadcasting's 94.7 KBSO has replaced the previous format with "My 94.7". The new format, billed as "Corpus Christi's Country", is a mix of contemporary Country and Texas artists. The station lists Kevin Fowler, George Straight (sp?), Blake Shelton, Randy Rogers, Stoney Larue, Josh Abbott, Dierks Bentley, Rich O'Toole, and Miranda Lambert as core artists on the new station. Easton Santos, who had been programming Texas/Classic Country 1150 KCCT is PD and MD of the new station.
Badlands had been off the air for the past week, claiming that a part went out on their tower and was awaiting replacement. Now they are stating that the station owner chose a new group to take over the station's lease instead of renewing their lease. Badlands is planning to continue online streaming while finding a new frequency to lease.
@Justme_JT @Bonofide82 Contract dispute. Tower owner awarded another group the lease @badlandsfm looking for another home streaming by Tue
— OFFICIAL BadlandsFM (@badlandsfm) June 1, 2013
The new "My 94.7" format fills the void made by the departure of Country 103.7 KOUL in early May following that station's sale and flip to Christian CHR "Air 1".

Out of all the playing around with Christmas ideas that I have been doing in recent times, this one is my favourite. I saw a package of Christmas cards that had patterned baubles - that kind of chunky swirly pattern that is all around at the moment - while I was waiting in the Post Office queue the other day and it inspired me to make this:
I inked up my Paisley background (its virgin inking - can you BELIEVE that Marelle?!!) in Whisper White and kissed the big solid circle stamp from Big Pieces onto the inked up background stamp. Then I stamped the circle onto a piece of Kraft card. I pierced a tiny hole at the top of the bauble and using one of the large needles from my tool kit, I threaded a piece of white organdy ribbon through the hole and right around to the back of the card. The I added another small piece of the ribbon in a knot at the front. The edges of the Kraft piece are roughed up with the edge of my scissors sponged with white and it is layered onto a slightly larger piece of Night of Navy. The little words at the top right say joy peace and love and they were stamped onto separate bits of Kraft, cut around and stuck on.
The background is Buckaroo Blue stamped with French Script in Versamark, sponged around the edges with Buckaroo Blue ink and layered onto the Night of Navy folded card. I mounted the stamped bauble panel up on dimensionals to make it a bit more of a focal point.
I don't think I've quite finished with this idea of making patterned baubles with the kissing technique... I'll have a bit more of a play and see if I can come up with some other ideas :)

Self Improvement: I'm not exactly sure what that phrase means, but over the past few months I have been trying to embrace change while at the same time figuring out how I can improve myself, both physically and mentally. For me, I think that is what Self Improvement is all about; Exploring your soul, being happy with who you are and feeling good about yourself, your goals and your surroundings.
Now, I haven't made toooo many changes as I feel everything is a process and things take time to pan out the way you want them to, but the small changes I have made are making me happier everyday and I can already feel my self 'improving' (or that might just be caffeine withdrawal!)
- I have given up coffee. And although at first I thought this was going to be a mega challenge, it wasn't actually too bad. My reason behind this was The Pantry Challenge which I'm currently doing and have previously blogged about. It's a 'challenge' that focuses on gratitude, getting creative and using up everything in your pantry/freezer before buying anything new! It's great and it's going well and it inspired me to drink more herbal tea and less coffee, which is honestly doing my brain wonders!
- I've started learning Spanish (again). Spanish is something I have battled with for many years now. I learnt it at school and didn't really pay too much attention to it and since then I have been learning on and off. Kerry and I lived in Spain for 3 months earlier this year and before heading over there I really put my mind to it, and I was actually getting quite good! I could interact with people and easily get by day to day. Then we left and I let it fall to the wayside. But now, I'm once again motivated and my passion to learn is really brimming. I will do this!!!
- I started my own business in an area that I'm really passionate about. For those of you who stop by quite often, you will already know about my website, for those newbies out there, I have a website selling 100% Fairtrade items. Everything has been ethically sourced, it's all vegan friendly but most importantly everything is either BAFTS or WFTO approved. And I love it, I'm so proud of it and it brings me so much joy to be involved with something that scales globally and ensures other people's happiness and job security. If you want to check it out, here's the link www.vidorra.co.uk
- I have started reading The Secret which has really opened my eyes to the law of attraction of the power of positive thought. Now, when I talk to Kerry about it he says it sounds like I've joined a cult! So, I won't bang on too much about it, but it's a real game changer.
- I have started using my car less and my legs more! Not only has this saved me a tonne of cash it has also helped me to lose weight, free my mind, fill my lungs with fresh air and to feel great about reducing my carbon footprint.
All of the above might seem small or trivial to some, but to me each and every thing on this list is something that is making me happy. It's making me a better person and overall a more balanced, almost spiritual person. I'm beginning to understand what actually makes me happy and what I want to achieve from life. And I've only just started on this path, things can only get bigger and better from here!
Oh, and as of next week I think I'm going to start limiting (heavily!) my alcohol consumption. That can only be a good thing, right?
Have you found happiness and enlightenment while trying to embrace change or self-improvement? I'd love to hear all about it! Please comment below or visit Without Cruelty on Instagram and leave your comment there! Thanks Guys!

The last three weeks have turned our lives inside out, literally! We had five friends stay over with us who have be become really dear to all of us. Four of them are from Space Ensemble, a theater and art group from Goa. The fifth is a friend's sister who has come to Bangalore for interning in a law firm.
So our house has been crowded, but in such a good way. Music playing all the time, someone humming a tune or strumming a guitar or playing drum or mouth organ. Or practicing singing voices or animal sounds.
It has helped Karthik and me open up, get more imaginative, get in touch with being willfully dramatic. It has meant long, meaningful conversations about anything and everything, we dreamed up and chatted away. And those cooking sessions were fun too. Sharing recipes, tips on sustainable living and minimalistic approach to life. They helped babysit Disha quite a few times and I ended up attending meetings without having to take her along (I did miss having her around though).
I am truly grateful that our paths cross with such amazing people, who are living largely unconventional lives, away from the hum-drum of the mainstream life of 'study-do well-get a job'.
Disha has grown fond of all of them. During their many rehearsals, she was quite keenly and patiently watching them along with Karthik and me. After that, she has been spending some time imitating their clown act. She enjoys doing it over and over again. Off late she has been into dancing and now after being exposed to drama has taken a penchant for it too.
Two days ago, we all went to an ice cream parlor for a send off treat. Somehow, we all got into an impromptu performance right in the parlor, with all the other customers staring and quite keenly listening in. And on the way back home, as we walked and ran, we sang loudly, spooked each other and passer-bys, played games, danced and made animal noises.
All this made me realize how good it feels to break away from our uptight -upright lives which we lead mostly in a certain, serious manner. Where we hardly express or exaggerate emotions, living only in our "comfort zones" or "bubbles", hesitating to dance or sing, feeling judged every minute.
So, get out there, shout, dance (out of sync) and sing (even out of tune) because it does feel so good.

Foosball, better known on the continent as table soccer or more likely table football, brings the drama, glory, and heartache of the beautiful game into your living room as you act as the puppet master extraordinaire over a legion of little plastic men. It's a staple of bars, college dorms, and dens across the world, and something that people are always up for. Whether you've got space for the real thing or just enough room for the tabletop options, you're still sure to get the best foosball table experience and if you haven't got one yet, now's your chance.

The medium-density fiberboard offers stability and durability during intense games, while the steel rods are robust enough to withstand the most competitive of matches but also come with comfortable grips that give you better control over your players and – hopefully – more chance of glory.

It looks just like something you'd see used at the Foosball World Championships – if that's a thing? – and honestly, we're not surprised.

Lancaster 48" 3-in-1 Foosball Table
Our choice for the best value foosball table was pretty much decided as soon as we saw that this was a 3-in-1 Foosball set. We know we're just looking at foosball tables, but this combo was too sweet to pass up. We will, however, focus primarily on the foosball aspect. It has manual scorers on each side to keep up to date with who's cruising and who's losing, while the side locks ensure there's no shifting of the table that could, in some places, be construed as misconduct.
Furthermore, it's quick and easy to assemble (and switch between games). The foosball portion has a matte finish aspect which ensures the ball glides over with ease and also has easy-grip rods for better, more effective control of your team under pressure. Considering it's 3-in-1, it's much sturdier than you might imagine, and really, we'd perhaps have considered this the best value anyway. The other games are merely a bonus.

Foosball Table Buying Guide & FAQs
Features To Look For In Foosball Tables
Before getting your hands on a new foosball table and savoring that sweet taste of victory, make sure you know what features to look for.
Playing Field - Your playing field will be green, blue, or black and this doesn't really matter unless you want authenticity. What does matter is the smoothness of it. A playing field that is too bumpy will interfere with the movement of the ball and could cause the ball to end up in places that it was not intended.
Foosball Men - Your men will either be one solid color - typically red and blue - or more detailed to look like soccer players. Higher quality men will also have counterweights, so they always return to their feet, and will be wide enough to properly strike the ball, but not too wide that they interfere with each other.
Rods - The rods of the table should be loose but not too loose. This allows you to have the maximum control in deciding which way to slide your men to intercept or strike the ball. In addition to this, they should also be frictionless enough to strike with the desired power, otherwise, you're going to see a lot of balls dribbling towards the keeper's feet. Comfortable, ergonomic handles will mean you can play for longer, too.
Balls - The majority of foosball tables will come with a set of foosball balls. They're not expensive t buy on their own, but it's more convenient to have them come with the table itself. They shouldn't weigh too much, but also shouldn't be like ping pong balls, either.
Ball Returns - Either on the side of the table or behind the goal. Dual ball returns mean you can kick off more quickly following a goal.
Leg Levelers - Sometimes you don't have an even surface, so leg levelers are ideal for ensuring a fair game. Without these, the ball will always seem to end up in the same corner of the table, which anyone who's played on such a table before knows how frustrating it can be.
European vs American Foosball tables
Did you know there were two types of foosball table? Us neither, but they do have their differences that could sway you one way or another.
- Includes French, German, Czech, Italian, Spanish which themselves have different styles
- Czech and German are closer to the American style
- The French table is softer, which provides more fluid movement
- Spain is unlike anything else in the world, there's no tiki-taka here, and requires excellent hand-eye coordination
- Developed from the European designs
- Focuses on passing and ball control as well as the final shot
- Men have thatched toes for better control
- Shots can come from anywhere on the field
Foosball Table FAQs
Q: How Much Does A Good Foosball Table Cost?
A: A good foosball table can cost you anywhere between $200 and $1500, but you may be able to find them cheaper due to clearance sales or buying second hand. If you're not fussed about playing it 'properly' then you can always buy a tabletop foosball table, for now, many of which cost less than $60.
Q: What Is A Regulation Size Foosball Table?
A: A regulation foosball table is a table that's used is foosball tournaments (so we guess they are a thing, hey?) They are 30 inches wide, 56 inches long, and 36 inches high. For this reason, regulation-sized tables cannot fit comfortably in many rooms of the house where there are other things and will require a dedicated games room or something similar.
Q: How Many Foosball Players Are There?
A: With each foosball table, you get 11 men per team, totaling 22 altogether, just like what you would find on a real-life soccer field. However, you can also buy tables that provide an additional set of players (also 11 per team) that have more detail, as well as some tables that have the option of 3 goalies, which would give you 13 players per side. Some foosball table reviews have pointed out how useful the additional goalies are for beginners and certainly help to inspire a love for the game as well as the skills needed to really get into foosball.
This isn't always the case, though. In smaller tables, you can get either 7 or 9 players, as the manufacturer sometimes has to make adjustments for the lack of space on the playing field. You can still get tabletop tables with eleven players, but they will be much smaller than average.
Q: How Do I Play Foosball?
A: It's not as easy as it looks, but it's still simple enough for anybody to learn. It requires hand-eye coordination, good reflexes, and a little bit of power, as well as some luck. You use the rods to control each line of players (goalie, defense, midfield, and forwards) to keep control of the ball and eventually score. If your opponent has the ball, you need to block any passes or shots they make with your players.

IT Services visit to BT's Adastral Park
In July 2017, six members of the IT Services team visited BT's Adastral Park in Suffolk, a global research development facility. Adastral Park is a place where world-leading innovation happens and has a vibrant community of like-minded people and dynamic organisations.
After a warm welcome from our BT hosts, we learned about the purpose of Adastral Park, a site formally belonging to the RAF's Royal Flying Corps Experimental Station, and the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment. Our hosts explained that more than 700 people from 200 companies are currently working together with BT to develop new products and explore new ways of digital collaboration.
We received a guided tour and visited several 'zones' that covered a wide range of areas, including:
- Industry: the increasing use of drones, work undertaken in the oil and gas industries, improvements to access control and the importance of security in the industry;
- Retail: digital signage, stock control, improvements to the users' experience;
- 'The home of the future': Ultra High Definition screens, improved Wi-Fi coverage with new building materials that improve connectivity, Smart Energy usage and improved household security;
- Banking: encryption using Quantum cryptography.
Throughout the tour, we were encouraged to interact with many of the displays including 3D imaging for use in training, handheld devices for chemical analysis, 'smart' mirrors and intelligent lights.
We also saw a series of presentations on various initiatives:
- SmartNE: A smart mapping solution that has been integrated with compasses around the Higher Education sector. In addition to indoor and outdoor maps, it provides users with dynamic navigation;
- BT Future Entertainment and Games: BT are envisioning the future of entertainment and gaming, and determining how this should be supported. During London 2012, they developed BTSport and provided a 4K live streaming service
- Security and Network Security: An interesting talk highlighting little thought-about aspects of security. Although encrypted data may pose a little issue if stolen at the moment, could it be vulnerable in the future with new encryption technologies? The team also viewed a demonstration of the software BT use to track cyber threat;
- The Digital Consumer: How humans interact with technology, and why this is important for companies to understand. BT make use of a range of techniques to monitor this, including surveys, data analyses and watching users.
We are very grateful to BT for hosting our visit. It was really enjoyable, thought-provoking and fascinating.
Feedback from our team:
"The day was interesting and thought provoking. It was great to see the influence BT has had in everyday technology and what a wide array of research areas they are involved in."
"It was interesting to see the work of BT and how much they do beyond telecoms provision. Their use of consumer level technology like Occulus Rift to support their business is similar to how the School of Medicine use webcams to facilitate student training."

Two first-half defensive errors cost the Hibs Development Squad victory as they drew 2-2 with their Partick Thistle counterparts.
Kleton Perntreou allowed a long-range drive from Gary Fraser into his net, before Ben Stirling's slack passback resulted in a goal for Neil McLaughlin.
Lewis Allan and Conner Duthie both scored in the second half to salvage a point for the young Hibees.
Hibs started the early portion of the game with a lot of territorial advantage, but were hit on the break in the fifth minute.
Partick snuffed out an attack and burst forward through Fraser, the midfielder then shot from 25 yards and it went underneath the dive of Perntreou.
Hibs continued to look susceptible on the break as Mark Lamont almost doubled the lead with 15 minutes gone, and Partick's second arrived soon after.
Stirling's passback was intercepted by Dominic Docherty, Perntreou saved, but McLaughlin had the easy task of slotting the ball into the unguarded net in the 24th minute.
Partick could have had a third, but Perntreou made a fine save to deny Jack Hendry from extending the lead.
Hibs started the second half well and, with boss Joe McBride's words clearly ringing in their ears, they got a goal back in the 51st minute when Allan latched onto a long ball from Duthie and calmly slotted the ball home.
Both sides had chances, but Hibs ended the last 20 minutes strongly as Adam Watson and Ollie Shaw both had efforts saved, before Duthie struck with six minutes remaining, his strike evading the grasp of Marc Waters to level the match.
Shaw and Danny Bonar both had late chances to win the match for either side, but it ended all square.
Hibs Development Squad: Perntreou, Stirling, McGregor, Waugh, Crane, Scott, Sinclair, Duthie, Watson (Breen 69), Hendry (Shaw 64), Allan. Unused substitutes: Brennan, Smith, Murray.

Our hike in Shenendoah was a great warm-up, but not long enough to really put ourselves to the test before attempting a 100 mile hike. John suggested going for a 4-5 night trip in Maine as a warm up, but I thought it would be nice to hit another long distance trail that I'd heard … Read More →
After spending Labor Day weekend with John's uncle Rich in Charlottesville, VA, we headed to Shenendoah National Park to finally test out our backpacking skills. Up until now, we'd been on a few long day hikes to train for the big hike in Maine, but we really needed to get out there with fully loaded … Read More →
We set out early in the morning for what we planned to be a full day of hiking, similar to the 17 mile hike to Springer Mountain. My arguments to John for stopping in North Carolina were: 1) if we are rushing to Maine for the mega-hike as planned, we need to train. I have … Read More →

Study with a map
It pays to get a list of as many properties for rent as possible, and plot them out on a map. This may require some work, but it will give you a sense of the marketplace. Which properties are more expensive than others, and why? How is rent determined, and what are the features? Look at the map for proximity to schools, shops, motorways, and public transportation.
By taking the time to do a preliminary study of the properties for rent, you can make a list of the amenities you yourself need and create a better budget plan.
Visit rental properties
By physically visiting the properties, you'll explore your preliminary ideas of the whole marketplace (your map study) and truly get an overall view of what it's all about. You'll also sharpen your intuition, and, chances are, you can spot bargains much more easily as well. Visit properties that don't really interest you – you'll have points of comparison. Visit properties that interest you a lot – you'll see what you might have to pay for. Visiting many properties will also give you an idea of how agents and owners deal.
Prepare your finances
Make sure you have all the necessary funds when you move in. Consider your budget and always pay your rent on time. This is not only honourable and a sign of good housekeeping, it also ensures you have the right to call the landlord or agent when things don't go according to plan or you need repairs done. Giving your bank the order to pay a certain amount every month automatically once your salary arrives saves a lot of headaches as well.
Do an inventory before moving in
Check out the furniture, the pots and pans, the tools, etc. – and make a written inventory. Make sure to list down what condition they are in, and if possible, include it in the contract, or at least have the landlord sign a paper agreeing that the said items are in such-and-such condition. This will avoid problems and arguments later on when you decide to move out and get back your deposit. Also, don't forget to check the plumbing and electrical appliances and report any problems to the landlord or agent immediately.
Make an offer
Many people seem shy about this – but the price you will hear from the agent or from a landlord is an asking price. If the property has been vacant for a while, it may be possible for you to get a lower rental price. Even a discount of £50 amounts to a great holiday extra at the end of the year. And don't be afraid to barter. You already have a 'no' – you just might get a 'yes' if you try.
Checking out rental property can be fun and exciting – and there's no better feeling than moving into a rental property knowing you made the right choice. And whether you are looking for a flat to rent in Colchester or houses for sale in Brentwood, always make sure to choose a reputable, knowledgeable, and experienced estate agency as well.

Over the years I have collected many classic military rifles but they have tended to be on a individual basis and with no particular manufacturer in mind. I have had no interest in collecting rifles with certain serial numbers, consecutive models or marks of a certain rifle types, my principle aim is to study the design. In recent years my interest in rifle collecting has moved in three distinct directions, away from the classic military rifle and more towards civilian classic designs, towards specific manufacturers or to preserve an element of firearm history.
I am not a professional or serious collector. I collect principally because I want to learn, I enjoy the restoration and lastly because its good fun. Funds are limited, so I target rifles that I can afford, provide an interesting design and are therefore worthy of study.
My interest in Mauser rimfire rifles is because of the sheer build quality, a number of interesting designs were produced, the rifles were aimed at the higher end of the market and as rimfire models I can just about afford them.
My last interest concerning British rimfire rifles is not so much the need to collect but the need to preserve. I do not plan or search to find these rifles, I simply stumble across them, I recognise there place in history and my natural need to restore and preserve kicks in.

After many years in development, it was a great pleasure to see JOE CINQUE'S CONSOLATION being selected as the opening film for 2016's Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). Leading up to the festival, the organisers announced that all of the film's screenings had sold out in record time, which was a strong indication to how highly anticipated this film was in its home country. I was unfortunately unable to make it to the screening due to work schedule (and the time it takes to fly all the way to Melbourne!), but it was great to see some good reviews following the launch, including this one.
I may not have been able to travel to Australia, but in this period I was also commissioned to compose the original music for the launch of the commemorative coin for the 90th birthday of HRH Queen Elizabeth, by the Royal Australian Mint.
Another trip I would love to have taken was to the SOHO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, where the short film FISH & CHICKS by ELISE MCLEOD and JULIE GRUMBACH that I scored last year was the festival opener. It also went on to win the prize for best short film, which was an excellent start for the festival circuit for this charming short.
Last but not least, I also worked on EMMA, a new original series on TF1 in France directed by Alfred Lot. With an original score by composer Nathaniel Méchaly, I came on board to compose and produce additional music and incidental songs for the pilot episodes.

Farsightedness in Basking Ridge
If farsightedness is getting so bad that you're struggling to perform even the most basic or enjoyable activities, it's time to see a professional as soon as possible. Don't waste any more time settling for subpar vision. Go ahead and visit Somerset Hills Eye Care Center. Treat yourself to first-rate services at our eye care office Basking Ridge. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
So what exactly does farsightedness involve? Fair enough, let's explore that. Some of the symptoms of this eye condition include: needing to squint to see clearly, nearby objects may appear blurry, eye strain (including burning eyes as well as aching, and experiencing general discomfort or a headache after an extended interval of engaging in close tasks (writing, computer work, reading, drawing, etc.) If you're experiencing one or several of these symptoms, it's time to see a professional. Don't dawdle in uncertainty. You might be wondering what even causes farsightedness to begin with. In a nutshell, aging is the biggest contributor to this condition. That's why you often see older people needing spectacles to sew, read, or do much of anything up close. According to recent findings, genetic predisposition also plays a pivotal role in the farsightedness. Infants (in most cases) are born with the condition, but it doesn't develop until much later in life. Still curious about farsightedness? Feel free to reach out to Somerset Hills Eye Care Center. Our team of professionals are more than willing to answer any and all of your questions at our eye care office Basking Ridge.
Sound good? Our patients certainly think so. Now all you have to do is take that first magical step. Grab that amazing device called a phone and dial Somerset Hills Eye Care Center.

FCC targets net neutrality today
Presented by Health Catalyst Population Health Foundations
With help from David Pittman (@David_Pittman) and Arthur Allen (@arthurallen202)
NEUTRALITY OVER TODAY?: Today is D-Day for the FCC's rollback of net neutrality, as the commission votes on a controversial repeal of rules requiring internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally. Health care innovation, some advocates fear, will take a hit: if ISPs begin "throttling" or prioritizing some web traffic over others, that means the well-heeled content providers might just pay to get an advantage. That, in turn, would disadvantage young companies. Health care companies, it's feared, can't afford to stay slow — people want their information, and want it now. But the precise implications aren't exactly clear yet, making this one area to watch.
Such concerns are even coming from inside the FCC, our Tech colleague Margaret Harding McGill reports. In an email, the commission's chief technology officer said he was worried about the possibility providers will target specific websites — the exact concern net neutrality proponents cite when advocating for these regulations. But an FCC official says that the final rule addresses those concerns.
— Also on tap: The commission, which meets at 10:30 a.m., will also consider measures to enhance the Rural Health Care Program by raising the $400 million cap on spending, among other policies.
CONGRESS PRESSES ON: In the wake of the Alabama Senate upset, Congress pressed on with its business Wednesday.
— No telemedicine boost in end-of-year funding measure: A funding measure, H.J. Res. 124 (113), designed to keep the government running through Jan. 19 doesn't include an expected boost for telemedicine in Medicare Advantage plans. Previous versions of the bill allowed Medicare Advantage plans to reimburse telemedicine as a part of their bids, raising hopes among advocates that the government would begin easing restrictions and expanding funding for the mode of care.
But those hopes are, at least at the moment, for naught.
— Taxes: The House and Senate conference committee reached an agreement on a unified version of a tax overhaul bill Wednesday. The new bill will repeal Obamacare's individual mandate, and Republican lawmakers scrapped a provision that would tax grad school tuition waivers. That proposal raised concerns from the American Medical Informatics Association, who sent a letter Tuesday to congressional leadership, arguing that it would hit medical informatics fellows particularly hard.
— Democratic senators: VA needs more money for EHR: Sens. Jon Tester and Brian Schatz, who are ranking members on the Senate Veterans Affairs and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee, respectively, think the VA needs much more money to implement its new Cerner EHR, the pair said during a call. Schatz said the department needs $15 billion to both implement Cerner and maintain VistA in the interim, and that will require additional funding, he said.
The problem is particularly acute for the department given money shortages for its private-sector choice program and staffing shortage, Tester said. He indicated the VA committees will not approve an earlier request from VA Secretary David Shulkin for spending flexibility, which would allow the secretary to reroute money to the EHR implementation.
— New senator: Minnesota Gov . Mark Dayton selected his lieutenant governor, Tina Smith, to fill the vacancy that will soon be left by Sen. Al Franken after his resignation over allegations of sexual misconduct. Smith doesn't have a significant eHealth record, but did participate in a round of grants around Minnesota to local broadband projects in November — which included several telemedicine initiatives.
— Health IT Now honors: Health IT Now honored 14 members of Congress for their work in the field Wednesday, including Reps. Diane Black and Doris Matsui, as well as Sens. Rob Portman and Joe Manchin, among others.
eHealth tweet of the day: Jennifer Dennard ( @JennDennard) In 2018 I'm thinking telemedicine will finally take off. I know WE all know about it, but my friends/family still give me blank looks when I ask if they use it.
THURSDAY: Apparently 3- to 5-year-olds believe birthday parties cause aging, which is pretty charming and understandable. Tell us about the charming (and understandable) beliefs of your youth at email@example.com. Air those beliefs publicly on social media to @David_Pittman, @athurallen202, @DariusTahir, @POLITICOPro, @Morning_eHealth.

HHS INNOVATION DAY: HHS's biannual Innovation Day on Wednesday featured presentations from teams developing new tech for the department. One project — smoking cessation team from the National Cancer Institute — used chatbots to increase access to the Smokefree.gov counseling website.
FDA UNVEILS ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIBING WEBSITE: The FDA on Wednesday launched a website that aims to advise doctors about the most appropriate antibiotic for a patient's particular condition. Ideally, such advice can cut down on inappropriate prescriptions and combat antibiotic resistance.
Doctors use antimicrobial susceptibility tests to help choose the appropriate drug for a patient's infection. Drug labels provide information that doctors can use alongside these tests to pick the right drug. But because bacteria and fungi change over time — affecting their response to drugs — and updating a drug label can be a slow process, there has been a delay in the most up-to-date information reaching doctors. A website, of course, can help communicate more rapidly. The new approach was authorized by the 21st Century Cures Act. The FDA's notes on the project here.
MORE LAWSUITS ON CERNER: When last we encountered EHR company CliniComp, it was suing the Department of Veterans Affairs to protest the department's decision to award a no-bid contract to Cerner. The company lost that suit (though it's appealing), and is back with another one — this time naming Cerner directly as the defendant. This suit alleges Cerner is infringing on CliniComp's patent. You can read the complaint here.
FROM THE STATES: Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a prescription drug monitoring program bill into law Wednesday, declaring on Twitter that "'Doctor-shopping' for fraudulent opioid prescriptions just got a lot harder." The bill requires prescribers to register and use the state's PDMP, effective Jan. 1.
NO MORE PASSWORDS?: The health care cybersecurity nonprofit NH-ISAC and a new partner, Trusona, are trying a new log-on process for the nonprofit's information-sharing portal. The approach would discard the traditional password — which, of course, has its flaws. The new path is to use the phone's fingerprint sensor and have that serve as an individual's identity verification. Under this approach, an individual uses his or her fingerprint each time he or she needs to log on.

Your thoughts, and the Saviour's the warning
Your thoughts, "your will" blocks the awareness of your Fathers thoughts or "God's Will" for you. You think on purpose because you fear God, and you believe thinking saves you from the wrath of God, when in reality your thoughts keep you from Seeing Miracles or the "Hand of God" in your life.
Miracles are adjustments the Holy Spirit makes as you surrender your thoughts. The thoughts that you are aware of at Any given time are meaningless. God's will superceeds yours only because your will is insane. You will death and see it through because of your belief in death.
If you, When you realize that there is only one consciousness at play here, and it is yours, it's a game changer! You judge "others" as insane because you are afraid of what God created for YOU and YOU alone! Believe it or not God created what you see, but what you see is determined by your state of mind. If your state of mind is in fear then it is your will to see scary events; if you are one with your Father, then your will becomes His Will and you experience happy loving events!
Quieting the mind in prayer and meditation is only "boring" until Jesus Christ reveals to you that He Is Risen within the kingdom of God that IS within YOU
Christ is Unknown by you because you have never sought Him in the stillness of the kingdom, only in the fear of this world
Fear veils the mind of Christ by rendering Him unnoticed! I understand the fear of quieting your mind in the search for the remembrance of your Father, You Loving Heavenly Father I must add. BUT yOur Father is not some tyrannical monster who kills His Children
Jesus Christ gave one warning, and it was; "Do Not Harm the Children of God". Do you Honestly 'believe' "His Father" would suffocate by drowning, His created Children??? Your 'biblical beliefs' have blinded you to the knowledge of a Creator SO LOVING, that when Christ reveals Him to you, you will in that instant realize the grave mistake of believing in "hell-fire" or "a great killing flood". You will also realize in that instant the insanity of believing that your Savior is crucified, He is Risen Beloved
You need not try to fix anything, ever. Your goal should be to !*!PRACTICE!*! the religion of Jesus Christ which is FORGIVENESS 70X7.
Jesus Christs teachings are outlined in the bible. When your mind is renewed via FORGIVENESS, the bible is not a scary book with rules to live by, with a killer god outlined within its pages. You will see the bible as a distortion of some truth, but you no longer blindly believe everything inside.
Brother and Sister, I ask >YOU< Yes >YOU<, are you really in need of "Any Book of religion" when you can Experience Jesus Christ directly
In closing, when Nicodemus began to realize he was hearing the truth, he sought after the Risen Christ and dropped the belief in the ten commandments! What you are reading is Not "religious", the only religion taught by Jesus is the value of FORGIVENESS as it revels the Love of God to YOU!
Beliefs LIMIT your understanding because they, all beliefs, are NOT TRUE!! Beliefs keep the blind believing and the believers blinded by their beliefs. We Must go beyond belief my eternal Brothers and Sisters. Insane you say, no more insane than believing God allows you to destroy yourself. Reason will show you if you will LOOK and SEE, that the children of man who march off to war are the ones who "come home" suffering, Not their enemies as they so insanely believed. You must Love Your enemies to See you have No Enemies in reality…
See the insanity of allowing children to do the dirty work of yOur devil, and FORGIVE your enemies, LOVE your "enemies", FORGET what "they did to you" so you can look past the hurt and onto the healing of your fearful mind.
Only LOVE IS REAL
Merry Christmas Beloved!!

"I won't say that's never happened, but it's a bit like pointing at a lottery winner and saying you're going to follow her get-rich strategy."
She's right, social media is no shortcut, but not in the sense you may think. You can't just sign up, start posting, and watch the money roll in. If you're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme that requires none of this, then there's no point in reading the rest of this. Marketing and promoting on social media takes time, energy, knowledge, and resources.
"Writers are told by their publishers that they need to be on social media, like it's some magical world that can make or break a career, but nobody tells authors what to do when they get there. Some only talk about their own work, and they don't understand why no one is listening."
When a potential reader sees your post, what will their reaction be? There's a common marketing quote, "When marketers move in, buyers move out." People don't want to be sold to, they want to experience. The most successful marketing campaigns make us feel. Humor, joy, compassion, pride, belonging, hunger..... These are things that people will connect with. Connecting is what social media is all about. In that same article, Davidson said:
"Social media is an amazing creation for many reasons, and I'm an avid fan. It has let me meet people all over the world. It inspires conversations and ideas. It makes it easier to go to book festivals and introduce myself to people who would otherwise be total strangers. It can help answer research questions. If you're passionate about something — for me, that's a list which includes crime fiction, travel, gluten-free food, and cemeteries — social media will hook you up with others who share those obsessions. It's an amazing thing, expanding your social circle without leaving your desk."
All these reasons (and more) are exactly what make social media such a powerful marketing tool. What if all that passion, obsession, interaction, and sharing was about your book? Even if you market it well, your book may never "go viral," you may never win that lottery, but done right, social media marketing can make a huge difference. The key is, you have to learn how to use it right or get someone like me who already knows how.
Don't be that author who's hawking their product in every forum on the internet and wondering why people aren't buying. Take a basic marketing class, attend a seminar, read up on it, and learn all you can. If you're too busy, can't figure it out, or just don't want to, hire a social media marketing specialist or online publicist.
If you aren't ready to focus on an online marketing campaign, work on building your online presence. Keep supporting and promoting other authors, get your name out there any way you can, search engines will pick it up eventually and people will see more of you and your books.

Indie-pop artist Somme has recently released a video to her newest single, "Ordinary Fools," an ode to a past relationship that left her with a heavy heart.

"Ordinary Fools" is a work of fiction that every single one of us has been through - love, loss and everything in between.

The MIT has been specifically designed for pat down and hand search procedures where the operator wants to be in close contact with the subject being searched. The MIT can be worn on either the left or right hand or one MIT on each hand, giving the operator the power of two metal detectors in use at the same time.
When the operator has located a metal target, the MIT gives an alarm indication by means of a vibration against the wearer's wrist. As the vibration is to the operator's wrist and not to the hand, the person being searched does not feel vibration. This offers the operator a covert approach to pat-down procedures. The MIT also gives the operator's fingers complete dexterity to feel for concealed objects that are of a non-metallic nature simultaneously.
MIT is fully automatic and requires no adjustments for use. It is powered by one standard 9 volt battery or optional NiCad rechargeable battery. There are no visible wires, switches or buttons. Everything is housed in a machine washable, soft stretching neoprene (wet-suit) material.

At the same time as there may be a comparable technique to the simple operation of maximum fire extinguishers, there are some critical differences in terms of the different styles of fires that positive extinguishers are designed to fight. This newsletter seems on the unique instructions for every one of the main styles of hearth extinguisher in use nowadays.
Astoria Safety Stores – Point the hose to the bottom of the fire and sweep the jet of water backward and forward over the fire. Although the fireplace is spreading upwards, usually begin with the bottom of the fireplace and pass upwards from there. When the fire seems to be out, take a look at the entire place for smoldering material that might flare up once more.
Astoria Safety Stores – Whilst that is one of the bendiest extinguishers, it should no longer be used on fires in deep fats fryers or burning oil.
The effective jet could not extinguish the flames and will unfold the fireplace similarly with the aid of splashing the burning fat round.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers do no longer have the cooling effect of water, so take a look at carefully afterward as there is an elevated hazard of re-ignition. Exercising caution when the use of in a limited area as the carbon dioxide gas can be dangerous to health. Ventilate the location as fast as you could after discharging an extinguisher.
Astoria Safety Stores – Direct the plastic horn in the direction of the decrease part of the fire and sweep from side to side as with the water extinguisher. Take a look at for re-ignition and use once more if required.
One of the important uses of this form of extinguisher is on burning liquids together with petrol, diesel, and oil. If the extinguisher is being used on a burning liquid, you should keep away from directing it instantly into the center of the liquid as this will split the surface and could purpose splashing and spreading of the hearth. If the liquid is interior a field, a great technique is to direct the jet at the inner fringe of this (or an adjacent wall) and allow the froth to spread down and slide over the liquid surface. This avoids breaking apart the floor and could then smother the fireplace. Failing that, direct the jet upwards, permitting it to fall lightly onto the liquid surface, which additionally should avoid breaking the surface.
As with other extinguishers, the powder must be directed towards the base of the hearth and a sweeping action used to transport this backward and forward over the decrease a part of the fire. Dry powder can be used on flammable liquid fires, and if being used for this cause the powder must be pointed in the direction of the near fringe of the burning liquid first, then paintings backward from there.

Easy Forex Trading Ltd.
EasyMarkets PTY Ltd.
easyMarkets (previously Easy-Forex) is the trading name of Easy Forex Trading Ltd. – a Cyprus-based brokerage, established back in 2003. It provides its services in over 160 countries worldwide, offering trading in 175 products ranging from currencies, CFDs on indices commodities, metals and Bitcoin, as well as options and forward contracts.
Easy Forex Trading Ltd, doing business as easyMarkets, is licensed and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC, license No 079/07), and its Australian subsidiary - EasyMarkets PTY Ltd. - is authorized and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).
CySEC applies certain rules to license holders, one of them being the requirement such firms to hold a minimum capital in order to conduct their business operations legitimately. The Commission requires Cyprus-based forex brokers to hold at least €730 000. As regulation of financial services providers usually involves such a requirement, Australian brokers are obliged to hold a minimum of $1,000,000 by ASIC.
Furthermore, the Cypriot financial watchdog applies a compensation scheme as additional guarantee to clients' funds. All CySEC-regulated companies are members of the Investor Compensation Fund, the compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorized financial services firms. If the Company becomes insolvent or ceases trading, it is able to pay compensation to its covered clients, amounting to a maximum of 20,000 EUR.
Unlike many other EU-based brokers, Australian ones are not covered by any compensation scheme.
Focus on client protection
easyMarkets is a broker that places a special focus on client protection. Apart from offering tight fixed spreads, which do not widen during news releases, easyMarkets is one of the few brokers that provide Negative Balance Protection. This means that you can never lose more funds than you have deposited, even though you are trading on margin.
Besides, it allows forex traders to cancel losing trades via its state-of-the-art feature dealCancellation, available on its in-house platform.
Minimum initial deposit
In order to open an account with easyMarkets, one has to deposit at least $100, which is a reasonable and competitive minimum initial deposit.
Spreads & Commissions
This broker offers fixed spreads, which allows traders to predetermine their costs. What is more, no commission fees are charged, as the broker generates revenues through the bid-ask spread paid by traders on each transaction.
Although fixed spreads generally tend to be wider that variable ones, this is not the case with easyMarkets – their spreads amount to 1 pips on EUR/USD and are accessible with a deposit of $250. In comparison, Exness and Plus500 (also regulated by CySEC) offer fixed spreads amounting to 2 pips for this currency pair.
The maximum leverage level offered by this broker is 1:400, which is considered comparatively high, as CySEC has recently proposed the default leverage provided by brokers to be 1:50. The reason for such leverage limitations is that higher leverage involves higher risk of heavy losses. Nonetheless, many Cyprus-based brokers offer high leverage levels: XM – up to 1:888, FXTM – up to 1:500.
Clients of easyMarkets may choose from the broker's proprietary web-based platform and the popular Metatrader 4 (MT4).
easyMarkets' in-house platform offers advanced charts, live market news, technical analysis and sentiment all in one screen, one click trading (from the Market Explorer).
What is more, platform users get free Guaranteed stop loss and dealCancellation option, which are indeed two great risk management tools.

In addition, easyMarkets offers the powerful MT4, allowing traders to fully automate their operations by choosing from a wide range of Expert Advisors (EA) and let the program do all the work. This is one of the reasons this platform to be preferred by most traders. Besides, it offers a number of useful technical indicators, extensive back-testing and advanced charting package, which includes the option to trade straight from the chart. Here is a list of more forex brokers offering MT4 platform.

- - First deposit bonus on initial deposit ranging from 30% to 50% (up to $2 000);

OKCoin is one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges, at the time of writing of this review. They focus mainly on the Chinese market and more specifically on retail customers.
|OKCoin.cn Inc
OKCoin is based in China and also has a second brand. The company has a structure similar to Coinbase and GDAX, one of the brands is focused on the needs of basic customers and the other on more serious traders. OKEX is the name of the more trading oriented solution.
While OKCoin accepts real money transfers, they can only be done in Chinese Yuan (CYN). This is simply the company's focus, which also carries on to the trading instruments offered (more on them later in the review). That being said, OkCoin used to accept USD deposits, but "issues with intermediary banks" caused the company to cease this activity, much like Bitfinex. Additionally OKCoin stopped accepting US clients, probably because of pressure to comply with US regulators.
While we are on the topic of regulation, we must mention the rather obvious (for some, at least). While China is not strictly against Bitcoin and cryptrocurrencies altogether, the country recently banned ICOs. With that in mind, they may be planning on applying rules on all crypto-transactions, which may affect OKCoin.
OKCoin has not been involved in major hacking scandals so far. The non-Chinese user reviews on the company aren't that many, but are generally positive, which can't be said for all cryptio-exchanges.
Trading instruments (cryptocurrencies)
There are a few altcoins available at OKCoin, but this is definitely not an exchange which list a lot of coins. The options currently available are: BTC, LTC, ETH, ETC and BCC. The addition of Etherem Classic and Bitcoin Cash will be appreciated by some users. Trading at OKCoin is only done against the Chineese Yuan (CNY), while the other brand owned by the company provides more products.
Minimum initial deposit
There is no information on the minimum deposit at OKCoin. This is rather odd, especially given the fact they accept deposits in Yuan. We are used to forex brokers, disclosing their entry barriers. For instance FXCM only requires a $50 deposit, for the opening of a new trading account.
Margin trading is not available at OKCoin, while it is at the company's other brand OKEX. In essence OKCoin is the company which takes fiat currency deposits (only in Yuan), while the other website is the more trader-oriented exchange. Leverage at crypto-exchanges is usually lower than the one provided for forex trading, where brokers often allow 1:500 or even higher ratios. That being said, cryptocurrencies are a lot more volatile, so margin trading is a lot riskier, in general.
Fees at OKCoin are competitive with the current offers by other brokers, going as high as 0.20%. With greater volumes, the rate declines, which is also a procedure applied by multiple exchanges. Luckily for the more aggressive traders there is no difference for market "makers" and "takers". The forex brokers who offer bitcoin trading on the other hand include all of their costs in the spread. They also mostly provide CFD trading. For a full comparison of the two types of services read this post.
The platform provided by OKCoin is web-based and a bit simplistic, especially when compared to the one provided by the other brand owned by the company. That being said there are a lot of options, when it comes to charting. Traders can choose between several styles of charts. There are simple ones, the solution provided by trading view, as well as a proprietary solution. Here is a preview:
The charting is very nice, with some technical indicators being pre-loaded, to stimulate more active trading. The order book at OKCoin is also very user-friendly. Here is a preview:
One can clearly distinguish between the bids and asks. The tape is also conveniently located to right.
Overall this is a solid platform. The company's other brand OKEX offers an even more sophisticated solution.
Money transfers in CNY are accepted at OKCoin. Other than that crypto-currency transfers in BTC LTC ETH ETC and BCC are also accepted. Essentially you can open a wallet for each of the coins and use them to transfer funds.
OKCoin is the largest Chinese cryptocurrency exchange, which is mainly oriented towards the domestic market. The company targets retail customers, while also providing another brand OKEX, for the more sophisticated traders. Trading volumes and liquidity for the major coins are quite high. Here is a summary of the pros and cons:
|No major hacks yet
|Trading against CYN
|Accepts CNY payments
|Few altcoins available
|Competitive commissions
|Does not accept US clients
|Relatively nice trading platform
|Has another brand for sophisticated traders (OKEX)
