Welcome to this week's edition of the Health Law Update. In this Issue:
By Mike A. Ferguson, Christian B. Jones, Adam J. Higgins and Tyler M. Thompson
House Passes ACA Repeal and Replace
Eight weeks after its introduction, legislation to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act (ACA) won House approval today by a 217-213 vote. Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday said a vote in Congress to repeal the ACA was "just around the corner," even as key House moderates continued to balk at changes they fear could undermine coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. In the end, the GOP leadership successfully kept up the pressure for a vote on the American Health Care Act (AHCA) before the House went on recess this week.
Now that the AHCA has passed the House, the Senate faces a similar ideological divide between conservatives and moderates – but with a narrower governing majority than the House. With only two votes to spare, Senate leaders could try to change the bill to cobble together at least 50 votes, sending the legislation back to the House. But House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who spoke at BakerHostetler's 28th Annual Legislative Seminar last week, said he believes Senate Republicans could approve the House-passed bill without any changes.
Spending Bill Includes Increased NIH Funding
Congress has agreed on a $1.8 trillion budget bill for the rest of fiscal 2017 that includes a $2 billion increase for National Institutes of Health (NIH). The boost comes after President Trump proposed cutting NIH funding by $1.2 billion and reflects the strong support on Capitol Hill for the research agency. The NIH funding is part of a government-wide budget bill that will cover spending through September 30. The White House is expected to release its fiscal 2018 budget proposal later this month.
Senate Panel to Hold CHIP Hearing
The Senate Finance Committee announced that it will hold a hearing May 9 on the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which last year covered nearly nine million children nationally. Congress is likely to reauthorize CHIP – which enjoys wide bipartisan support – before it expires September 30. Governors had hoped Washington would renew CHIP before the summer, when most state budgets are being finalized.
Bipartisan Bill Targets Drug Prices
Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate judiciary committees have introduced legislation designed to speed the development of generic drugs. Targeting what Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) called "abusive delay tactics," the legislation would create a private right of action allowing generic manufacturers to sue innovators to gain access to brand-name drugs protected by FDA safety programs. Including the private party lawsuit in the legislation allows the bill to be referred to the judiciary committees, which can hold hearings and vote to approve the bill. A Senate judiciary subcommittee last year held a hearing on similar legislation.
The legislation was introduced by Leahy and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and Reps. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) and David Cicilline (D-R.I.). Grassley is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Marino is chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust Law. It has also been reported that Marino will be tapped by President Trump to head the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Brand-name manufacturers oppose the new legislation, saying it would ignore FDA-imposed safety requirements on high-risk drugs and cause unnecessary litigation. The bill follows similar legislation introduced in the House last month that would compel brand-name companies to make their products available to generic drug makers for bioequivalence testing, but that bill doesn't include a private right of action against the brand-name drug companies.
Both bills have been introduced in previous sessions of Congress and failed to gain significant traction. But both have picked up new bipartisan support as the issue of drug prices continues to swirl on Capitol Hill.
House Bill Would Update Rules for Device Accessories
Bipartisan legislation introduced in the House last week would streamline the FDA review process for medical device accessories. Medical accessories – everything from plastic trays to ultrasound probes – are classified and reviewed by the FDA along with their parent devices. Manufacturers say the process is burdensome and costly, and can delay approval of otherwise safe medical technology. Introduced by Reps. Mimi Walters (R-Calif.) and Ann Kuster (D-N.H.), the bill would classify accessories independently from their parent devices. The lawmakers said some accessories already approved shouldn't require additional reviews when they are combined with other devices. Last year's medical innovation law, the 21st Century Cures Act, directed the FDA to classify accessories independent of parent devices. The Walters-Kuster legislation would give the agency additional clarity and authority to decouple accessories from devices. The device industry trade association AdvaMed endorsed the bill.
Gottlieb Wins Committee Vote
President Trump's nominee to lead the FDA, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, won approval last week in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on a largely party-line vote. The committee vote was 14-9. Only Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) broke ranks with panel Democrats and backed Gottlieb's confirmation. The next step is a vote by the full Senate next week.
Meanwhile, Senate Democrats called on Gottlieb to overturn President Trump's government-wide hiring freeze, which they say is particularly harming the FDA, and work to implement filling the new positions authorized in last year's 21st Century Cures medical innovation legislation.
House Panel Examines Device Bills
The House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee held a hearing this week on several medical device bills that could be included in the FDA user fee reauthorization. Congress is considering the five-year renewal of user fees negotiated by the FDA and the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries. The subcommittee may add other provisions, but likely only those that enjoy bipartisan support and wouldn't jeopardize congressional passage of the underlying user fee bill.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently issued its proposed rule updating fiscal year (FY) 2018 payment policies and rates under the Medicare inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS). As highlighted below, the proposed rule aims to reduce regulatory burdens for providers and to promote transparency and flexibility in the delivery of care. Comments on the proposed rule are due June 13, 2017. Once finalized, the updated IPPS will apply to all discharges on or after October 1, 2017.
Update to Prospective Payment Rate and Uncompensated Care Payments
Overall, CMS estimates the proposed rule will increase IPPS operating payments by approximately 1.7 percent in FY 2018. CMS also proposed changes to uncompensated care payments resulting in an additional 1.2 percent increase. The agency plans to distribute close to $7 billion in uncompensated care payments, a $1 billion increase from the previous year. This increase results from CMS's proposal to change its data source for calculating the uninsured rate, by utilizing its National Health Expenditures Account (NHEA) data as opposed to the Congressional Budget Office data. Agency officials believe the NHEA is a more complete data source and estimate that this change will reflect a decrease in the uninsured rate.
Quality Reporting and Incentive Programs
Even as CMS ramps up the Quality Payment Program and initiatives under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), the agency continues using the IPPS rule to introduce new proposals for its legacy quality programs. Most notably, as part of ensuring overall quality of care and patient health, CMS is requesting comment on how to account for social risk factors such as income, education, race and ethnicity, employment, disability, community resources, and social support. CMS wants public input on which social factors are most appropriate to consider, how to statistically account for them and how to operationalize a strategy to include these measures in various programs.
Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program
CMS continues making adjustments to the domain methodology for hospitals receiving a score in fewer than four domains, and has proposed that hospitals in FY 2019 have at least two measure scores in the Safety domain and at least one measure score in the Efficiency and Cost Reduction domains. According to the agency, these changes will "include the greatest number of hospitals in the Hospital VBP Program possible while ensuring the need for TPSs to be sufficiently reliable." In addition to proposing measures for future program years, CMS will remove one of its long-standing safety measures, the current PSI-90 measure. Given the complexities associated with the ICD-9 and ICD-10 transition, the agency seeks to remove the current PSI-90 measure from the Hospital VBP Program beginning with the FY 2019 program year. A modified version of the measure is planned for FY 2023.
Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program
For the FY 2020 HAC Reduction Program, CMS proposes to utilize claims data from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017, to calculate the performance results for Domain 1 (Patient Safety and Adverse Events Composite), and from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2018, to calculate performance results for Domain 2 (National Health and Safety Network measures). The agency is also seeking public feedback on outcomes and patient-safety performance measures. In order to further align with other quality reporting Extraordinary Circumstance Exception policies, CMS proposes to modify the HAC policy effective for requests received in FY 2018 (on or after October 1, 2017).
Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program
The proposed rule reduces the number of required electronic quality measures for reporting from eight to six to alleviate some of the burdens associated with successful submission. For the FY 2019 payment determination, hospitals may self-select the quarters they use for reporting this data. For the FY 2020 payment determination, hospitals will use the data from the first three quarters of calendar year 2018. Proposed refinements by CMS to the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey pain management questions will "focus on the hospital's communications with patients about the patients' pain during the hospital stay" beginning in FY 2020.
Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
In order to meet the statutory mandates of the 21st Century Cures Act, changes to the excess readmissions adjustment factor will occur for patients eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. CMS plans to implement a methodology that groups hospitals into five peer groups. Essentially, by grouping the hospitals in a manner relative to their federal payment similarities, CMS officials believe that performance will in turn account for the patient population and socioeconomic adjustment. Consistent with its definition of "applicable period," the agency proposes to calculate the excess readmissions ratio and payment adjustment using data from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016.
Other Proposals
CMS seeks public comment on two areas vexing to the healthcare industry. The first deals with how the current scope and restrictions on physician-owned hospitals affect healthcare delivery. The second focuses on reducing burdens for providers and patients, improving quality while decreasing costs, and "mak[ing] the health care system more effective, simple and accessible." Targeting regulatory simplification, the proposed rule is soliciting ideas for payment system redesign, streamlined reporting, improved monitoring and documentation, and enhanced mechanisms for feedback.
In response to stakeholder input and to lower the administrative burden on providers, the proposed rule makes the 96-hour certification requirement for Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) a low priority for medical record reviews conducted on or after October 1, 2017, unless CMS or its contractors find evidence of fraud, abuse or waste.
Lastly, in keeping with the agency's goal to increase transparency in healthcare, CMS proposes that accrediting organizations make a facility's survey reports and any associated plans of correction for the most recent three years publicly available on the accrediting organization's website within 90 days after this information is made available to the facility.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), despite being enacted more than 30 years ago, has produced a case examining the applicability of malpractice damages limitations that bears watching.
In Scott v. Ruston Louisiana Hospital Company, the court examined whether state medical malpractice caps are applicable to an EMTALA case. A young patient came to Northern Louisiana Medical Center's emergency room for treatment. The physician ordered an MRI around 9 a.m. However, the MRI was not performed until after 3 p.m. The delay was alleged to be the result of a hospital policy "that requires that emergency room requests for MRIs be summarily denied and delayed until reimbursement from the insurance company has been certified." The parents of the patient alleged that if the MRI had been timely performed, the patient's hematoma would have been identified and treated in enough time to prevent the permanent paralysis that later developed, or that the severity of the patient's symptoms would have been reduced.
EMTALA regulates the procedural aspects of the provision of emergency medical services and establishes a private cause of action for a violation of its terms. However, EMTALA does not address the substantive quality of care provided to a patient. Any person who suffers harm as a direct result of a participating hospital's violation of EMTALA may, in a civil action, obtain those damages available for personal injury under the laws of the state in which the hospital is located, and obtain such equitable relief as is appropriate.
In this case, the plaintiffs' complaint specifically alleged that their EMTALA claims were not subject to the state's medical malpractice damages limitations. The court found that there was no conflict between the malpractice statute's damages caps and EMTALA, as EMTALA expressly defers to state law on the question of damages. The court held, similarly to most federal courts confronting the question of damages limitations, "that EMTALA's incorporation of state law extends to caps on damages for medical malpractice claims so long as the challenged conduct falls within the particular state's definition of malpractice." Under this line of reasoning, whether the malpractice damages limitations are applicable depends on whether the allegations in the complaint state a malpractice claim under the state's malpractice law. Thus, medical malpractice damages limitations will be applicable if the allegations come within the scope of applicable state malpractice laws, which will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
The court, however, has granted a motion for an interlocutory appeal to the Fifth Circuit on the issue of the medical malpractice damages limitations, to resolve the issue inasmuch as there was a prior Eastern District of Louisiana case that held that the state medical malpractice claims caps were not applicable to an EMTALA case. In Jeff v. Universal Health Services, the court found that (1) EMTALA creates a distinct federal cause of action based on a strict liability standard rather than a negligence standard; (2) EMTALA claims are not analogous to a medical malpractice claim; and (3) EMTALA's failure to incorporate a state's procedural limitations for malpractice actions "supports the conclusion that EMTALA does not incorporate a state's medical malpractice damages caps."
The case bears watching, as it may significantly increase the risks associated with EMTALA violations should the Fifth Circuit decide that the limitations are inapplicable.

For those people who wear eyeglasses, gone are the days of settling for bulky, ill-fitting frames. These days, eyeglasses are expected to match your personality without sacrificing its practicality or hijacking your style. When navigating through Warby Parker's gallery, it's crystal clear that Warby Parker is aware that 1 frame does not actually fit all. Warby Parker is an internet and brick-and-mortar retail supplier of inexpensively priced prescription glasses, sunglasses, and glass accessories. They have something for everyone, for every style. Whether you are needing to change your look, get a pair for a special occasion, or just to find a brand-new tried-and-true standby, Warby Parker has you covered. Free Prescription Glasses Qld
Warby Parker changed the prescription eyeglass industry by being the pioneering company to market prescription eyeglasses online and send them directly to your front door. While a lot considered that a massive leap, it succeeded. The business sold approximately 20,000 pairs of glasses on the internet in its 1st year of operations.
When it eventually rolled out retail shops, Warby Parker also transformed the images of shopping for and wearing. Its stores aren't dull and clinical. They're sleek, fashionable, well decorated, and pleasant. They are also loaded with fashion-forward hipsters, who seem to be its most diehard shoppers. Warby Parker will make you fail to remember that there once was a period when people considered eyeglasses as "nerdy".

Take a Peek at Warby Parker's Top Ten Glasses Available: Free Prescription Glasses Qld
These retro-inspired cat-eye eyeglasses may remind you of your old Aunt Kathy – the one who sported the same white cat-eyed glasses with polka-dotted shift dresses during the early '70s till she turned 90 – but in the best, most fashionable way achievable. If you prefer a refined look, this structure is a excellent choice. Free Prescription Glasses Qld
Clear glasses have been around quite a long time. People like them because they look nearly invisible from afar and go well with a nice, clean look. The Eugene Narrow eyeglasses are round and flawlessly proportioned for tinier faces – if you don't like your frames covering your face, this may be an ideal fit. The modest rose shade offers them a little something extra.
The Baker eyeglasses have a classic keyhole bridge with round lenses, and the Striped Sassafras shade is a subtle way to freshen things up – excellent for accomplishing a more chic appearance.
The Percey may seem much like the Baker at first sight. They are both round, medium-width glasses with keyhole bridges, and they both even come in Striped Sassafras – but it is the tiny elements that make all the distinctions: The Percey's lenses are more curved and its end bits are not quite as pointy. These differences make the Percey a rather more easygoing alternative. Free Prescription Glasses Qld
Known for flattering nearly any face, the Wilkie is a good alternative for the everyday man or woman who does not want to worry too much about fashion. The Black Matte Eclipse option of the eyeglasses have a thin white edge wrapped around the front. Nothing too insane – only a few extra style points.
The Welty is a contemporary take on a classic form. Made from premium cellulose acetate (like all of Warby Parker's non-metal frames, the glasses have a curved browline and an noticeable keyhole bridge. Think Nancy Drew: the youth idol who made it cool to be a nerd. These eyeglasses are bigger than others, but not so big that they dominate your face.
The Watts looks and feels effortless. Accessories have the power to make or break a whole appearance: When it comes to our eyewear, we like to supplement outfits, not distract or detract from them. These polished eyeglasses do precisely that.
This pair's style is always fashionable. The Daisy is an artful spin on the classic cat-eye with thin eyewires and a sloping browline. Don them with a little black dress or pair them with a business suit. These timeless glasses will only heighten your sophisticated and modern style.
Blue is not a color you find all that often in eyeglasses, but looking at the Hardy in Striped Pacific, you have to wonder why. It's a simple, rectangular frame, but this oceanic hue makes it pretty striking.
Yes, we are repeating the Wilkie! We just love it that much. This Eastern Bluebird Fade tone combines tortoise on top with a trendy, translucent blue on the base. The contrast makes them feel contemporary, but the neutral colours keep the eyeglasses compatible with virtually any ensemble. Free Prescription Glasses Qld

The frames on Warby Parker eyeglasses are made with cellulose acetate, bought from a family-owned Italian business. Its glasses are made in China and crafted on the same production lines as almost all of its competitors, but because the company removes the middlemen, the costs are lower. After the raw materials are cut into face fronts using a high tech CNC machine, it is rolled with wood chips and hand-polished using a German wax. The glasses are then carefully assembled and pushed through a sequence of quality tests. When you order, a new pair is made just for you. Warby Parker custom-cuts and polishes the edges of the lenses, which have been treated with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant material. The eyeglasses come standard with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses that block 100% of UVB and UVA rays. After the eyeglasses are carefully inspected and aligned, they're packed up and ready for delivery right to your front door.
Lens Options
In addition to offering the standard single-vision lenses, progressive lenses, non-prescription eyeglasses and readers, Warby Parker produces 2 lens style options. These are:
Clear – Well, not just clear – very clear. These normal lenses are for people who desire absolutely uncolored vision indoors and out.
Light-responsive – These lenses intelligently counteract UV rays. They shift from absolutely clear indoors to dark grey outside, even on overcast days.
Warby Parker provides polycarbonate lenses with any optical purchase. They are some of the most lightweight and impact-resistant lenses; and they come with the price of the frames!
However, if you desire a high quality lens, you may select from the following:
1.67 high-index lenses – These are perfect for those who have a strong prescription since they're around 20% slimmer than polycarbonate lenses, however, they are priced at an additional $30.
1.74 high-index lenses – Being around 10% slimmer than 1.67 high-index lenses, these lenses are recommended for all those who have an exceptionally high prescription. They are priced at an additional $130.
Want a specific coating on your lenses? Not a problem.
Warby Parker offers the following coatings with all lenses at no extra payment:
Scratch resistance – This shields your lenses from everyday wear and tear.
Anti-reflective – This coating eases eye strain due to reflections and minimizes glare.
Superhydrophobic – These lenses repel moisture to prevent smudging.
In terms of prescription sunglasses, Warby Parker offers all of the above and more! In addition to scratch resistance, they offer UV-protective lenses and polarization, which lessens glare from light ray reflection.
They also provide different lens style options, from solid to flash mirrored to gradient transitions.
Warby Parker provides eyeglasses, sunglasses, and accessories on their website and in retail stores – at relatively inexpensive prices. Because the company designs its eyeglasses in-house, it is able to sell you all glasses "Starting at $95, including prescription lenses." Additionally, it is convenient that various lens coatings are included in the price of each pair of glasses. Certain lenses, like thinner lenses for very high prescriptions, go for a higher price.
The Maker Edition is currently the most costly collection on the website beginning at $195. The least expensive collection is Spring 2018, which begins at $95. This means that the average pair of glasses is $145, which is considered as middle range in the market. Free Prescription Glasses Qld
When it comes to sunglasses, the most expensive collections are the Resort and Epigraph beginning at $145. The most inexpensive series is Quintessentials at $95, making the average price point around $120. Again, this is considered middle range and ideal for those who have a reasonable number of disposable income.
Shipping and Support Policy
Warby Parker gives free delivery and returns if you live in the United States or Canada.
They have a 30-day, no-questions-asked policy for each of their frames, as well as a 1-year warranty for all their lenses where they'll replace your scratched lenses at no expense over the first 12 months.
The minimum shipping time is extremely reasonable at 5 business days for non-prescription sunglasses. The maximum duration is a short wait for progressive prescription eyeglasses and single-vision prescription sunglasses at 10-12 business days.
This organization has the best customer service on our opinion. Customer service representatives were friendly, helpful, and attentive as they answered all our queries. You can reach the company by phone, email or live chat. The website is very easy to navigate also. Warby Parker even has an order guide and FAQ section that will help you discover the right frames to match your preference.
Free Prescription Glasses Qld
Home Try-on Service
One of the best things about Warby Parker is their "Home Try-On" service that actually helps you to choose which glasses will suit you.
All you will need to do is choose five pairs of glasses and they will be delivered to you at no cost. Then try them out for 5 days and find which ones you like. Buy your chosen glasses on the website and you'll be mailed a fresh new pair. Finally, after your 5 days are up, set the box in the mail with its prepaid return label.

Warby Parker prides themselves on being eco-friendly and sustainable in its operations. One of their key principles as a business is to actively work on reducing its impact on the environment. The organization is a 100% carbon-neutral eyewear manufacturer. Also, Warby Parker proactively works to reduce their effects on the environment by tracking the greenhouse gas emissions from their frame manufacturing, to transport, office work, and warehousing. They are making sure to offset their carbon so.
Warby Parker Gives Back
Another aspect which makes Warby Parker alluring to customers is that they are similar to TOMS Shoes, on the principle of buy a pair and give away a pair of glasses. When a pair is sold they give away a set to some person in need. They saw a need that people from around the world do not have access to see clearly, which is a wide scale problem. Warby Parker is working to address this problem by helping people access eyeglasses to be able to see.
Final Thoughts Free Prescription Glasses Qld
Warby Parker markets chic eyewear categorized into special and fun collections for both women and men. Overall, the experience with Warby Parker has been very great.

It will be the final tenant to move into the complex's $6.73 million South RiverCenter renovation project, which included the conversion of former warehouse space into office suites.In 2011, Schlitz Park announced a $30 million renovation plan designed to reinvigorate downtown development and occupancy with work spaces and amenities that would attract new employers, services and talent to downtown. Since then, Schlitz Park has signed more than 20 new or expanded leases with tenants including the Milwaukee Bucks, UMB Fund Services, Infosys and AECOM. Several Schlitz Park tenants relocated downtown from suburban offices including Badger Liquor, HSA Bank and Trusted Media Brands.Most of Schlitz Park's new tenants moved to support aggressive growth plans and cited the office complex's riverfront location, renovated buildings, green space and amenities as key to attracting young, diverse professionals. The leasing activity has brought 4,200 jobs to Schlitz Park, including more than 1,000 new positions to downtown.National General Insurance brings the number of Schlitz Park tenants to 39.

"The Government's decision to extend the excise duty concession is a welcome move and will certainly uplift consumer purchasing sentiments as we head into the festive season over the next few months," said Vinay Piparsania, executive director of Marketing, Sales and Service at Ford India, in a statement. "It reflects the government's recognition of the importance of the manufacturing sector and its contribution to overall economic growth."

Ford India recently launched the 2014 Fiesta to great acclaim, much of which has been earned due in part to the available SYNC® with Ford AppLink™, which offers two apps exclusive to India—explore by MapMyIndia and ESPN Cricinfo.
"The 2014 Fiesta, with its best-in-class driving dynamics, design and in-car technology, is a complete package that delivers much more than the expectations of customers in this segment and offers an exceptional value and a compelling option for discerning enthusiasts," Piparsania added.
June was also significant in that Ford India organized its "Monsoon Ready Service Camps" throughout the country that offer drivers free carwashes and vehicle inspections; discounts on new wiper blades, batteries, brake pads, and suspension; and fabulous prizes.

The Dutch cyclist who has ridden from the Netherlands to visit his father faced many dangers on the way.
But none compared to what he faced in Thailand after his near 18,000 km journey was just about over.
Thai mini vans.
William Coniris , 28, was resting up after arriving at the home of his dad Paul, 58, and his Thai wife Ploipailin Iamyim, 41.
Ploipailin said that William had told his father that the vans were the scariest thing he faced on the journey, reported Daily News.
Even though he was creeping along on the hard shoulder they got close and caused him great concern.
William is planning on staying a week visiting a temple and going to Bangkok with his father to see friends.
But he won't be doing anymore cycling here before flying back to Europe.
Those vans are just too dangerous and besides – he needs a rest!
He'll be eating plenty of "laap moo" instead, his favorite dish.

Ever have the feeling that summer comes and goes and you have no idea what you have done? I have been through that a million times and that's why "My Summer Love" series was integral to recording how I have lived through my summer. On top of that, I found a cool idea of creating a summer manifesto and list down what I want to accomplish in this awesome season. The original manifesto template was created by ruthpclark and you can download it on her website but I modified it to fit my own needs. Anyways, without further adieu, I present to you my Summer Manifesto which will remind me of what I need to love, eat, do and make this summer. This is it! The summer of my dreams is simple but amazing. 😀
To an amazing summer ahead. *clink* I love thee! xoxo

VIDEO: Walker backs Lamela, Sigurdsson looks to Newcastle and Eriksen admits dip in form
TOTTENHAM trio Christian Eriksen, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Kyle Walker discussed matters concerning the North London club after beating FC Sheriff.
Tottenham celebrate Erik Lamela's first goal for the club
Goals from Erik Lamela and Jermain Defoe earned Spurs a 2-1 victory over the Moldovan champions, to take them one step closer to the Europa League knockout stages.
Defoe broke Tottenham's all-time goalscoring record in Europe with a second-half penalty, that was won by Lamela.
And with Villas-Boas leading the praise for the 21-year-old, Walker revealed he was happy for Lamela to get his first Spurs goal.
Hopefully this is a stepping stone for him to go and show what he's really about
"For Erik, he's going to show his worth," said Walker.
"I'm happy for him, that he's gone out and got his goal and made the second.
"Hopefully this is a stepping stone for him to go and show what he's really about."
Sigurdsson also lauded Lamela, before turning his attentions to the Premier League meeting with Newcastle on Sunday.
"It will be a difficult game, they showed against Chelsea how tough they are to play against but if we want to stay up in the top four we need to get these results, especially when playing at home."
And Eriksen revealed his thoughts on Spurs' chances of success in Europe this season, before admitting his form has dipped after a strong start to his career in the capital.
"I'm trying to get used to everybody and everything", said Eriksen.
"I think I started really well and after that it went a little bit down.
"Now it's just about trying to find space and develop more."

Matt Jones from Complete Angler talks about RIO Powerflex PLUS leaders
Posted in 07 June 2016
Tapered leaders are an amazing gift from the fly fishing gods that can do a few interesting things, like transfer energy from your fly line to fly and save you time if you dislike living in the 90's and tying your own up.
Okay. So, RIO's newest leaders have an even more incredible thing going on with tensile strengths of up to 20% more than regular leaders. How? Rio tweaked a technical modification of the nylon copolymer formulation. I have no idea what that means but I do know it has resulted in a prodigious strength increase, without compromising the knot strength or suppleness. Simply put, these are the strongest, most reliable trout leaders that I've ever used, boasting a 9.5lb 3x with a 0.008in/0.203mm diameter at the business end. I played around with them towards of the end of the summer season on the South Island of New Zealand and found them to be immensely versatile. The added strength gave me confidence when throwing large streamers and heavy nymphs, whilst the fine diameter let me fish small dries on glassy water. I could do it all, and with a lot less effort than I could with a regular leader by using 9lb 3x. If I wanted to up my tippet strength I could, if I wanted to add a meter of 6x I could.
They come in a two pack that retails for $19.99NZD, the same price as regular leaders, so why wouldn't you?

How To Register for the NPTE: A step by step guide.
Learning how to pass the NPTE isn't easy. Learning how to register for the NPTE isn't easy either. This page is our attempt to simplify your NPTE registration process. Read it carefully!
Step 1: Determine Your State's Requirements for PT Licensure.
Every state has different requirements in order to sit for boards and become a licensed therapist. Find out what your state requirements are before you do anything else. For a list of State Licensing Authority Websites click here.
Many states have a long list of requirements to obtain a therapy license. Most require a separate jurisprudence (law) exam, fingerprints, background check, passport photo etc. Some states require a P1E form as well which may affect your ability to sit for Boards right after graduation.
Additionally, some states require the completion of a jurisprudence exam before application, some require that the tests be included with your application, and some are computer based and taken after boards. Make sure you know your state requirements!
Gather all of this information and make a Licensure application checklist.
Step 2: Complete and Submit Your Application to your State Licensing Authority.
After completing your state application for licensure, mail it in. Before you do though, double and triple check that you have met your state requirements. Have you included your P1E form? Did you include your passport photo? The submission of an incomplete application will cost you money!
For a list of licensing authority mailing addresses, click here.
Step 3: Pay Up!
Time to pay for your test! In some states (California for example) you should register and pay for the NPTE as soon as you submit your state application. In other states you need to wait for state approval before registering for the NPTE. This information is available on your individual state board website. Determine this first and when ready, you can pay and register for your NPTE exam by clicking here. This link will take you to the official FSBPT page where you can submit payment.
If your particular state utilizes a computer based jurisprudence exam, you will also have the opportunity to register and pay for your law exam during the NPTE registration process.
Step 4: Wait for your ATT letter.
Once the FSBPT receives approval from your state PT board that you are authorized to take the test, the FSBPT will send you an ATT (authorization to Test) letter. This letter contains all of the information necessary to register with a local prometric testing center to take the NPTE. Remember that you don't necessarily have to take the test in the state you are obtaining licensure. You will be licensed in the state you have applied to assuming you have followed these steps correctly.
Your ATT letter will also be shown under the status of my request link shown above. You can access the page shown in the above image by clicking here.
Make a note of all of the information contained on your ATT. It will specify specific dates that you are eligible to register for examination. Follow its instructions carefully.
Step 5: Register with Prometric
After receiving your ATT, you are eligible to register for an examination date/time through prometric. This link will take you to the therapy specific prometric page for registration.
You will need to have your ATT and a debit/credit card handy in order to complete this registration process. The Prometric testing fee is 85$
Step 6: Pass Boards!
Congratulations! you're registered to take the NPTE. Now all you have to do is show up (early!) to your prometric testing center and take the test. Should be easy right?
If you have any questions be sure to contact your licensing authority.
The fsbpt is also incredibly helpful:
When in doubt, you can always ask us for help! Just fill out the form below. Good Luck!

In Search of Lost Time – Marcel Proust
In Search of Lost Time – Marcel Proust – 1913
Reviewed by: Michael Sympson Date: 2 September 2001
Before we are going to lose ourselves in superlatives, a few pointers might be in place:
(1) Proust's novel had been published this side of the turning century and therefore it counts as France's contribution to the modernist movement of the 20th century. It is not. It still belongs to the Victorian three deckers of the 19th century, in a class with Tolstoy and Eliot, the English novelist, whom Proust admired most.
(2) When going through Jean-Yves Tadié's monumental biography of Marcel Proust I found little evidence that Proust actually cared very much for Montaigne. Given his time and curriculum it stands to reason that Montaigne had been a must read, too familiar to fuss about. But with both authors, I feel the same warm hospitality oozing from the pages, just to sit down for a good gossipy read.
(3) This is a French novelist, with a French education, a French perspective on things, a French sensibility, and a French delight in surrounding absolutely everything in an iridescent halo of words. And by the way! Should you ever try to read the thing in one go, make sure you have plenty of leisure. Sell your telly and don't go to the movies; keep your sex life to a minimum. And should you not speak French, you have a problem. Against all appearances, Proust's Gallic, gently malicious wit, his belle esprit is really there, but in this translation it tramples along on heavy feet.
My French too is not quite up to the task of reading Proust the way he should be read, so like many I depend on Moncrieff's translation — there is only his, in several editorial revamps, none of which has much to speak for itself. For instance we read in "Swann's Way:" "… a reflection of the sunlight had contrived to slip in on its golden wings, remaining motionless, between glass and woodwork, in a corner like a butterfly poised upon a flower." This is Victorian imitation kitsch. And what did Proust write? "… a reflection of the sunlight had made its yellow wings slip in and remained motionless, between glass and woodwork, in a corner, like a folded butterfly." Less of cheap glitter, more sensuality. Am I nitpicking? Is this not a trifle of little consequence? Well, I'm sorry, but if you really want to read Proust, this is the meat of the matter. Whatever else it might be, Proust's novel is a complete world in itself, projected and laid out in the most elaborate mosaic ever; and every little majolica shard counts.
Every author creates his own pedigree, says Borges somewhere and Proust took great pains to establish a huge family tree that reaches down all the way to Rousseau and St.Augustine who provided the overall form for Proust's novel, the analytical confession. Most of us, especially in the translation, will miss out on all the little touches and mocking voice imitations of countless French authors, nobody outside of France has ever heard of. Ventriloquism is an act of comedy and this element is surely lost. Personally I think of Proust, as a great French essayist. Try to forget for a moment that the "Recherche" comes as a novel: we would still be left with a whole plethora of essayistic genres: character sketches, explorations into the world of plant and beast, meditations on sexuality and the nature of time, all of which could exist independently of its context. Another French, Emile Zola, I believe, characterized art as "nature seen through a temperament," and Proust exactly fits the description.
Sometimes Proust insisted that his novel had the architecture of a Gothic cathedral — which reminds me of a heated debate we students once had, whether it was possible to build a cathedral or the pyramids like bees construct their hives. I really don't know the answer, but I suspect Proust's cathedral might support the honey-comb theory. I mean once we get to the bottom of his multi-layered technique there is not much of a story left to go anywhere. James Joyce is one of the few authors in English who received an education very similar to Marcel Proust's, and even roughly at the same time. There was not much else the two had in common, Proust's family comfortably floated on the upper end of France's bourgeoisie, while Joyce's Irish parents were most of the time broke and struggling. But by and large he of all contemporaries certainly had the credentials to pass judgement; and he characterized Proust's sentences as "predictable." Spoken from genius to genius! Lesser mortals like us, are not invited. I for once, rather enjoy the surprises.
And of course, Proust did create real characters, as real as anybody I know in the "real world," but they seem not much to be doing, except for having pleasant conversations, frequent aristocratic dinner tables, fret over their latest crush and occasionally visit the museum. That's alright, most of us don't do much else, especially after retirement, but do we really need 3.000 pages to read about? Even Proust seems to agree that we don't, so he regales us to countless batches of his Gallic pastiches, and they are sure worth reading, though they lack the sinuous muscle of Voltaire. Proust can be flabby at times. But so did Montaigne and once you feel comfortable in your armchair, you don't really mind and just enjoy the hospitality. Ok, this might not be quite fair. Only the first two volumes had been published during Proust's own lifetime. These volumes in fact do show considerable unity and architecture. Proust was every publisher's nightmare and liked to edit copiously the galley proofs, who knows what this could have done to the other 4 volumes. As it is, we see a warehouse full of fluff, wrapped up in plenty of scented cotton wool. But the chrysanthemums are really good.

A Lexicon of House Types
Posted by Krista Kehoe on Monday, December 12th, 2011 at 5:48pm.
Ever get frustrated when you're trying to find a house, but the descriptive words are baffling? Below are a few commonly used real estate terms used to describe house types for sale. The descriptions are very general - meant only to give you an idea of what you might be able to expect.
Cape Cod Cottages: broad-framed houses that are one and a half stories high, with steep, pitched roofs. The simple design consists of a central fireplace, a central front door with windows on each side, and end gables.
Estate: the houses, outbuildings, farmland, and gardens of a very large property. Traditionally, profits from produce and rents were sufficient to support the central house and its household. Today, an estate often refers to large houses on at least several acres. Sometimes the term is stretched to include a large home on a large lot.
Greek Revival: refers to houses with low-pitched triangular gables, a symmetrical shape, heavy moldings along the tops of walls, wide plain decorative trim above doors, entry porches with columns, decorative pilasters, and narrow windows around front doors.
Mansion or manor house: in the US, these terms refer to a dwelling over 8,000 (740m2) square feet. In Europe, a traditional mansion includes a ballroom and tens of bedrooms. Modern mansions in North America usually have specially designed rooms such as greenhouses, libraries, infinity pools, and/or home theatres. As well, many mansions also have domotics (technology controlled systems for security, energy efficiency, and comfort). Today, the term estate is often used instead of mansion.
Mansion block: refers to a block of flats or apartments in Britain, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Rowhouse: also called townhouses, rowhouses usually consist of three or more houses, each of two or more stories that share common walls between them, similar to duplexes.
Shotgun house: detached houses built in a straight line where the living room is in the front, followed by bedrooms and bathroom, and the kitchen is at the back. The houses tend to be longer and very narrow.
Split houses: there are three kinds of split houses. Backsplit houses appear as bungalows from the front elevation. Frontsplit houses appear as a two story in front and as a single story in back. Sidesplit houses have both levels visible from the front view.
Tudor Revival: houses with steeply pitched roofs, half-timbering that is infilled with herringbone brickwork, tall mullioned windows, high chimneys, and upper floors that overhang pillared porches.
Victorian house: there is a lot of variation when it comes to Victorian houses. Two common Victorian styles include:
- Second Empire: homes which consist of a rectangular tower, a steep roof topped with an iron trim, sculpted details around windows, doors, and dormers, and paired columns.
- Queen Anne: houses that replaced the Second Empire houses and consist of an asymmetrical facade, dominant front-facing gables, overhanging eaves, a second story porch or balcony, differing wall textures, balustrades, horizontal bands of leaded windows, wrap-around front porch, arched brick, and terracotta panels.
Villa: often refers to vacation rental properties - high quality detached homes in warm destinations, particularly Florida and the Mediterranean. Sometimes villas are also called luxury bungalows.
I hope this list helps in your search for an ideal home. Best of luck!

Alphagan and Pregnancy
Animal studies on Alphagan (brimonidine) show that this drug is probably safe for use during pregnancy. Alphagan did not appear to cause any harm when large doses were give to pregnant rats. However, animals don't always respond to medications the same way that humans do, so make sure to talk to your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of using Alphagan if you are expecting.
Can Pregnant Women Use Alphagan?Alphagan® (brimonidine tartrate) is an eye medication approved for the treatment of high eye pressure and open-angle glaucoma. Based on the results of animal studies, Alphagan appears to be relatively safe for use during pregnancy, although the full risks to humans are currently unknown.
It is important to understand that even though Alphagan is an eye drop, some of the medication reaches the bloodstream and could, therefore, affect a developing fetus.
What Is Pregnancy Category B?The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses a pregnancy category system to classify the possible risks to a fetus when a specific medicine is taken during pregnancy. Pregnancy Category B is given to medicines that have not been adequately studied in pregnant humans, but do not appear to cause harm to the fetus in animal studies.
Also, medications that have been shown to be safe for use in pregnancy in humans (but have caused problems in laboratory animals) are also given a Category B rating.
In research studies, giving very large doses of brimonidine (the active ingredient in Alphagan) by mouth to pregnant rats did not appear to cause any problems.
However, it is important to note that animals do not always respond to medicines in the same way that humans do. Therefore, a pregnancy Category B medicine should be given to a pregnant woman only if the healthcare provider believes that the benefits to the pregnant woman outweigh any possible risks to the unborn child.

- A 20-year-old woman received a text message from a man she spoke to briefly on the train.
- Lynda Lorraine and the man did not exchange numbers or social media handles at any point during their interaction.
- He managed to find Lorraine's number by searching for her social media profiles and finding friends to ask.
- Lorraine shared screenshots of her text messages from Josh to Twitter and people were quick to compare her situation to Netflix's creepy thriller series "You."
A 20-year-old woman received a text message from a man she met briefly on the train — and people are comparing the situation to the popular stalker Netflix series "You."
According to Lynda Lorraine from Bromsgrove, England, who shared the conversation on Twitter, she'd briefly spoken to the man, but the pair did not exchange numbers or social media details.
However, a week later, the man who identified himself as Josh managed to find her number by searching for her social media profiles and finding mutual friends to ask.
Lorraine responded by admitting this is "kinda creepy," before asking how he'd found her number and her friends.
—Nakia's Twin (@Lyndahx) January 13, 2019
After revealing that he'd searched her on Instagram and then asked friends about her, Lorraine replied: "I'm not even being funny but don't you think it's less creepy to just follow me on Instagram instead of asking around for my number?"
Despite her clear discomfort, Josh continued to text her, telling her he would tell her on Thursday during a date who gave him her number, to which Lorraine replied: "Most definitely not."
"Because I'm not really flattered by this," she explained further. "It's weird and invasive. And there's no way you can decide for me that I'm going out with you."
According to Lorraine, who spoke to BuzzFeed, she eventually blocked his number but after her tweet went viral, many people suggested she also report him to authorities.
In addition, to fear for Lorraine's safety, people also expressed outrage over the man's persistence and compared him to Penn Badgley's "You" character Joe Goldberg, who stalks a woman he met at his bookstore on social media and in person, to learn more about her.

"This sounds like Joe," one person wrote, while another responded: "*Cough* Joe Goldberg from You *Cough*."
"This ticks all the creepy boxes," someone else responded. "This intrusive behavior is entirely inappropriate showing no respect for boundaries you have put into place. If you wanted everybody able to contact you, you'd have made that possible."
The Independent has contacted Lynda Lorraine for comment.

America's sailors in the Great War : seas, skies, and submarines
"The First World War demanded of the American Navy radically different solutions, skills and thinking. The US fleet of big ships designed to fight other big ships in classic line-of-battle formation entered an unprecedented global conflict with no answer to a German innovation--the U-boat. The navy's few primitive ocean-going submarines and an entirely new type of small warship, aptly named the subchaser, helped secure an eventual victory over the U-boat. A comprehensive convoy system quickly became a critical element in the maritime conflict demanding the escort service of nearly every destroyer in the American fleet and the outstanding seamanship that went with it." --From jacket.

June 15, 2018 – Hollywood, CA – Today, enigmatic Scottish newcomer ONR. unveils his brand new single "Love In Suburbia": LISTEN HERE.
Continuing a hot streak of off-kilter alternative anthems, the critically acclaimed artist delivers dance floor-ready rhythms, uproarious distorted guitars, and a refrain worthy of fists-in-the-air on the track. "Love In Suburbia" shuffles from shimmering synths into a stadium-size chant evocative of the lyrical vision and leaves aftershocks of pop bliss. The song follows his single "AMERICAN GODS," which earned praise from Idolator, Village Voice, Baeble, and more.
This week, ONR. made his U.S. live debut with a sold-out headline show at San Francisco's Popscene. He is now on tour with Mondo Cozmo for a string of dates on the East Coast. Check out the remaining itinerary below.
Overseas, ONR. is receiving overwhelming support from BBC Music Introducing, a platform which has helped launched the careers of artists like Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, Florence + the Machine, James Bay, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and more. Between performances at The Great Escape and The Biggest Weekend festivals in the UK, ONR. also took part in the Biggest Weekend Fringe Tour which highlights four up-and-coming artists. After his performance in Brighton, BBC wrote, "ONR. turned Brighton's Paganini Ballroom into an all-out rave."
Born in Glasgow and raised between the Scottish Highlands and southern Scotland, ONR.spent his formative years idolizing Elton John, Kate Bush, Freddie Mercury, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and obsessing over George Orwell's dystopian classic 1984—coincidentally written in Scotland. He found inspiration in the ability of each to shift perspectives and unlock a higher realm and continues to draw inspiration from more modern rock innovators like Arcade Fire, Mondo Cozmo, Interpol and The Killers. Now, the artist's own manifesto unfolds with his new tracks and forthcoming debut EP coming soon.

Bringing Physical Security to the Cloud
By: Alex Wasson
The physical security of our employees and buildings are a far higher priority to business leaders and decision-makers than they have traditionally been in the past.

The Drawbacks of DIY Security for Small Businesses
By: Alex Wasson
When you're a smaller business competing with a giant chain or big box company, every dollar makes a difference and theft can be the divide between making it or breaking it. So how do you deter theft from dishonest patrons or employees? A video surveillance system is probably one of the first solutions that come to mind.
3 benefits to the cloud
By Laura Wasson
Today everyone is talking about "the cloud," put this in "the cloud," send that to "the cloud," but what does that mean for your business systems? There tends to be a more complicated perception of what moving your systems to "the cloud" entails when actually it is quite simple. Running your business systems through the cloud means that you are accessing and storing data and programs over the internet. By moving your business systems, such as your telephone or access control to the cloud, you are removing it from your physical location and relocating it to an offsite data center.
