No Claim Left Behind
Medical Business Associates believes that there should be NO CLAIM LEFT BEHIND. Our unique mix of technology and business processes ensures we quickly and accurately follow and track each and every claim through conclusion. How? Well, that's proprietary as part of our integrated, custom software but the results? Stellar!
One of our competitors' toughest obstacles is the lack of follow-up on unpaid claims. With vendor software that is little more than electronic versions of paper claims and the near impossible task of pulling the appropriate information out of their systems without 'information overload', it is no surprise that our competitors either delegate this time consuming task to the newest, coincidentally least experienced , employee or simply do not follow-up unpaid claims at all.
MBA disagrees. We are committed to receiving a response for every claim from every payer involved in the payment process. No Claim Left Behind ensures every claim will be paid, in a timely manner, or someone from our office will find out why!
MBA knows every payer's payment schedule. We know some pay very quickly while others are known to take a bit longer. Our proprietary system knows just how long to wait with each individual payer before beginning the follow-up process. We know when it's been long enough but don't wait too long for problems to develop.
Our unique process also addresses the common issue of patient insurance changes. Without your personnel involvement, No Claim Left Behind will scan all claims on file and automatically re-file any affected claim.
MBA also has the unique expertise to efficiently handle Medicare cross-over claims to supplemental policies. No Claim Left Behind takes a proactive role in verifying the data file from Medicare to the supplemental policies. Without your personnel's intervention, our system will detect errors in the Medicare file and automatically correct and file, correctly, to the supplemental policies.
The Bottom Line
Every claim entered in our system will have a response from the insurance company! It's just part of our normal, integrated process.

Here I show you a warm dessert which is one of my old favorites. I love crumble with any fruit and even a salty crumble. It is really very quick to prepare. This preparation consists of two steps, the crumbs topping and the filling of apples which gives and excelent contrast to the dish. And if you want to enjoy it better top it with a scoop of icecream sprinkeled with cinnamon. I love these contrasting flavours.
You can use any type of apples, and you can even use a mixture of apples.
This recipe makes a large and thick crust crumble which I love, but if you prefer put less crumble on top and then the apple juices will bubble up through the surface.
INGREDIENTS makes a 32cm by 18cm tin
For the crumble
380 g all purpose flour
200 g caster sugar
210 g butter cubed at room temperature
a pinch of salt
For the filling
4 apples (peeled, cored and medium diced)
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sugar (I used light brown caster)
200 g crème fraîche
50 g raisins
70 g nuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 175º.
Place the flour, the sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and mix well. Add the soft butter and blend with your fingertips until the mixture turns to breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Grease the tin.
Put the prepared apple in a large bowl and sprinkle over the cinnamon, raisins and nuts. Mix the mixture. Add the sugar, the honey and the crème fraîche and mix until combined.
Put the filling mixture into the greased tin, spread it evenly around. Take the crumble and top the apple mixture with it and again spread it evenly
Place tin in the oven for 30 minutes or until the crumble is brown and the apple mixture bubbles.
Served it warm and topped with a scoop of icecream it is just delicious ♥

Customer system efficiency improvement assessment: Supply curves for transmission and distribution conservation options
Description: This report documents the results of Task 6 in the Customer System Efficiency Improvement (CSEI) Assessment Project. A principal objective of this project is to assess the potential for energy conservation in the transmission and distribution (TandD) systems of electric utilities in the BPA service area. The scope of this assessment covers BPA customers in the Pacific Northwest region and all non-federal TandD systems, including those that currently place no load on the BPA system. Supply curves were developed to describe the conservation resource potentially available from TandD-system efficiency improvements. These supply curves relate the levelized cost of upgrading existing equipment to the estimated amount of energy saved. Stated in this form, the resource represented by TandD loss reductions can be compared with other conservation options and regional electrical generation resources to determine the most cost-effective method of supplying power to the Pacific Northwest. The development of the supply curves required data acquisition and methodology development that are also described in this report. 11 refs., 11 figs., 16 tabs.

13 Apr What to Look for in a Local Marketing Platform
So you're looking to buy a local marketing platform. Let me guess, the whole process has left you feeling a bit overwhelmed.
No doubt you've done your homework and researched the major providers. In fact, I'm willing to bet that you have a product checklist sitting in front of you. I'm also willing to bet that your checklist looks pretty much the same across the board.
Sure, each company has a few additional bells and whistles. But frankly, it's hard to tell whether these are unique features or just clever marketing. As someone whose job it is to track the industry's product developments, I feel your pain.
So how do you choose the right local marketing platform?
For the sake of credibility, I'm not going to wade into the muddy waters of why one provider is better than another. However, I do think I can help you prioritize the right things based on the number of your locations.
Keep in mind that Ignite's Placeable solutions works with multi-location brands of the hundred or thousand-location variety, so my experience is skewed toward enterprises. Also keep in mind that Ignite writes my paycheck. Take what I have to say with a grain of salt or two.
Still, here's my honest assessment of what you should prioritize when picking out a local marketing platform.
SMB vs Enterprise
When choosing a local marketing provider, the lens under which you should scrutinize platforms is the size of your brand. More specifically, you need to consider the number of your locations, as well as the number of employees you have dedicated to location data management.
If the only person managing your location data is you, and you're also running every other aspect of the business, your priorities will be different than a brand that has fifteen people dedicated to managing the data for forty thousand locations.
For simplicity's sake, I'm going to split the priorities between SMBs and enterprises. However, be aware of some overlap, especially among mid-sized brands.
Local marketing priorities for SMBs
For SMBs, it's important to find a platform that can do it all. You want a platform that not only performs its core function of cleaning, standardizing, and syndicating location data, but you also want a platform that runs your social media, content scheduling, and other day-to-day activities.
When it comes to managing only a handful of locations, pretty much all of the providers will do an adequate job with your data. That's why SMBs should prioritize a platform with robust secondary features. If you only have one person performing multiple marketing duties, the convenience of a single dashboard that does it all can't be beat.
Not only will it likely save you subscription fees on software redundancies, but it will also will encourage you to spend more time inside the program, helping earn back its value.
The truth is, if you only have one or two locations, your data is unlikely to require much work after the initial clean up. As such, you won't spend much time in the program managing your data. This is especially true if you work in the building you're managing the data for. You'll know whether your address is wrong or if your hours need updating. As such, prioritize the additional features that make your life easier on a day-to-day basis. Otherwise, you're not getting the most out of your investment.
I would also caution SMBs about signing up for managed services. The local marketing platform you choose should be intuitive enough to handle on your own. If it isn't, don't buy it. When SMBs hire a managed services team, they're often paying for the managed services team to sit on their hands.
Local marketing priorities for enterprises
Enterprise brands should prioritize five things when choosing a local marketing platform: scalability, making the data actionable, account managers, custom builds, and managed services. Here's what you should look for in each:
Scalability—When you manage the location data for a thousand or ten thousand locations, it's rare that a day goes by in which something doesn't need to be updated. As such, be sure to consider the scalability of the platform. How easy does it monitor location data for thousands of locations? Is the dashboard intuitive? How robust are the analytics? When you're using the platform daily, small efficiencies add up to huge time savings.
Making the data actionable—The next thing you need to consider is how actionable will the platform make your data. If you're looking to implement omnichannel marketing, location data is critical for targeting customers across channels. Having a passive or reactive platform no longer cuts it.
Account managers—The unsung heroes of location data management for enterprises are account managers. They're the ones who'll be solving your most challenging location data problems. They're the ones who will know the intricacies of your brand's data as well or better than you do. They're the ones who will ensure that your local marketing program runs without a hitch. A good account manager is worth her weight in gold.
Custom builds—Make sure that the platform is customizable to fit the needs of your brand. The truth is, one platform does not fit all. For example, a bank needs tighter data security and special audits, whereas a retail chain needs better e-commerce integration. Make sure that the provider you're considering will tailor the platform to fit your needs and not the other way around.
Managed services—You would also be wise to consider the quality of the managed services team. While I don't recommend managed services for SMBs, enterprises can often benefit from having data management experts run the platform for you. Even if you don't intend to use managed services to begin with, you should still look at the quality of their work. These are often the same people who will perform the initial data clean up. You'd also be amazed at how often a brand upgrades to managed services at a later date.
Finally, while having all the additional bells and whistles is important, these features should be considered secondary to the platform's core function. Why? The chances of an enterprise brand replacing their subscription to Sprinklr or Hootsuite with a local marketing platform is slim to none.
Instead, look for a local marketing platform that performs its core duties exceedingly well and compliments the rest of your marketing stack.
Final thought
In general, SMBs should prioritize secondary features, whereas enterprises should prioritize the core functionality of the platform. Use the above guidelines for comparing local marketing platforms, and you'll be much more likely to find the platform that best fits your needs.
Happy hunting!

04 Oct Heart to Heart with God: Day 123_Faith & Deeds
by Michael Bluemling Jr.
365 Days of Reflection Towards God's Love and Acceptance
~June 4, 2014-June 3, 2015~
Day 123- Richmond, Virginia: Faith & Deeds
From James we are taught that faith without actions is really not faith at all: "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder."
We can try to convince ourselves otherwise, but the Scriptures explain the actions that are required of us. We have to indulge in both our faith and good deeds so that we may continue to maintain a strong relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We cannot just pick and choose, which laws or commandments that we will obey and others that will ignore. We are all sinners, but we also must be mindful of trying to play God as well. We do not have the authority to decide what is right or wrong in the eyes of God. Therefore, we must have a plan of action that closely resembles the teachings of Jesus Christ throughout the New Testament of the Bible, in order for us to have any chance of being counted as a true believer of the Word of God.
Being a Christian is not for the faint of heart. It takes sacrifice, commitment, and desire to be a follower of Christ. We must be dedicated and understand that we will have shortcomings as we make decisions that are displeasing in the eyes of God. However, we are forgiven for our transgressions when we repent and know that Jesus loves us all as His follower. We must find a way, as we walk together on this journey, to overcome our Earthly desires and reject temptations or thoughts that attempt to distance us from our Faith.
God, help us to not live by faith alone, but rather to also have the actions to go along with our faith to allow others to receive your blessings through us. Amen.

Bike Luggage Charges For Air Travel 2018
Bike luggage charges can be a pain. Every airline seems to handle bicycles in a completely different way, and charge completely different premiums to carry your bike box.
There are very few things that I get more excited about than escaping for a long weekend away with my bike. Rebuilding my bicycle halfway up an alpine mountain is a luxury I wouldn't give up easily. I might be staying in the cheapest hotel for miles around, but with the local roads, trails and cafes to explore, I'm not planning to see a whole lot of it.
Ryan has looked at maximising your cycling time on a family holiday (not something I've ever had to worry about), and we've talked about how to ensure your bicycle survives its trip with the airline.
Bike Luggage Charges
Where I begin to lose my mind, is trying to book my bike onto the airline. There are dozens of airlines heading to the popular destinations, and if you're savvy on the price comparison sites, chances are you'll be using different companies for the outbound and return journeys.
Each airline treats bikes and sports equipment completely differently. Some will include your bicycle in their checked baggage allowance, others will always charge you extra. There is no consensuses over how heavy bike bags for air travel should be, and none of this information is easily accessible on their websites. How does British Airways sports equipment differ from an Easyjet bicycle booking?
We've updated our infographic since last year. Air Berlin and Monarch are both gone, replaced with TUI and Lufthansa. Our MD fell victim to the little spate of airlines going out of business last year, when his flight to Mallorca with Monarch (not paid for on Credit Card) was cancelled last minute with no option for a refund.
Most airlines only provide minimum compensation in the event a bicycle is damaged. Our Bicycle Insurance can provide complete cover for your bike while it is in transit. Our Ultimate tier Bicycle Insurance will even cover your bike box at the same time.
And if you're riding abroad, we also provide Cycle Travel Insurance to cover the costs of emergency medical care and repatriation if you injure yourself riding, on top of all the usual things you would expect from standard travel insurance.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on the federal government to halt the alleged planned attacks to be unleashed on Southern Kaduna and other areas dominated by Christians in some states of the Middle Belt region.
The special assistant, Media and Communications, to the CAN President, Pastor Adebayo Oladeji yesterday, said the association has been informed that some of these planned attacks are targeted at Southern Kaduna Chiefdoms and towns that include Gumel, Dagwarga, Daddu, Mariri, Kagoro, hotels, Open University and other soft targets, among others.
Oladeji said while they are prone to dismiss these planned attacks as products of figments of imagination, the association is, however, constrained to call the attention of President Muhammadu Buhari and other security agencies to be aware and take precautionary measures.
The statement reads in part: ''Having witnessed unprecedented human carnage on the Plateau, we call on President Buhari to place the security agencies on red alert in order to avoid a similar recurrence.
''While we are happy at the statement credited to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo that perpetrators of the Plateau carnage would not be allowed to escape justice, we are quick to remind and appeal to the federal government to, at least, stand by its promise to ensure that these blood-thirsty herdsmen are brought to book to face the full wrath of the law.
''As the umbrella organisation for all Christians in Nigeria, we are at pains at the tragedy that has befallen our members.
We mourn the death of over 200 Christians slaughtered on the Plateau at the weekend and we passionately appeal to the Buhari-led administration to rise up and put a stop to further killings of innocent people, including defenceless women and children.''
He also said that following the killings that took place on the Plateau, the association has obtained reliable information on the number of dead recorded in Barkin Ladi and Riyom LGAs from 23 to Monday 25 June, 2018.
The CAN spokesman, however, called on all security agencies to wake up to their constitutional responsibilities of protecting lives and property. ''We urge them to be pro-active in doing their jobs.
Mobilising troops and policemen after the havoc has been done do not make sense. A government that cannot protect the citizens is a failed government,'' he added. (Leadership)

Forrester has revealed that most data breaches are caused by internal problems such as employees losing, having stolen or "simply unwittingly" misusing corporate assets.
Forrester questioned over 7,000 IT executives across North America and Europe. See the break down below of the causes for data breaches:
- Simple loss or theft – 31%
- Inadvertent misuse by an employee – 27%
- External attack – 25%
- Malicious insiders – 12%
- Other – 5%
"Whether their actions are intentional or unintentional, insiders cause their fair share of breaches," said the authors of the report.
All staff should have a basic understanding of information security to help secure the company's data, profits and brand image. A small mishap – such as leaving a customer's credit card details in the bin unshredded, or allowing a stranger into the office without vetting them first – can leave your firm in dire trouble.
A cost-effective yet simple solution is to deploy an Information Security Awareness e-Learning Course within your company.
Our e-learning course recognises that information security awareness starts with the individual. It helps employees understand their organisations' information and compliance risks, thereby reducing the organisations exposure to security failures.
This course can be taken from the comfort of your employees desk, and roughly takes 45 minutes. It covers all aspects of information security including passwords, portable media, clear desk and screen policies and tailgating.
The course uses non-technical language and is suitable for all employees in an organisation that are involved in processing information, using Information Technology in their daily job or who use the Internet as a means of conducting business.

Special FREE Test Screening
In association with Dartmouth Films, we are delighted to offer a unique opportunity to contribute towards the final cut of a film still in the latter stages of production.
The Atom; Our Love Affair is the tragicomic true story of one of the 20th Century's greatest technological obsessions. It reveals how the dream of cheap, clean and safe atomic energy has been kept alive through seven turbulent decades – and asks if it's time for those who still love nuclear power to accept that it really could be the end of the affair. Delving into the archives of the PR men, campaigners and journalists who've battled to tell the atomic story, this is a surprising and often funny cautionary tale about what can happen when a promised wonder-technology comes face to face with harsh political reality.

Badarelli's senior year continues with a 3rd place finish. After a loss in the semifinals, Badarelli was able to bounce back in the consolations with a pin to keep his season alive. He will head to the region tournament on Wednesday night with a record of 21-10.
The Secaucus High School wrestling team entered 10 wrestlers into the District 12 Wrestling Tournament. Carlos Triana (113), Alex Leon (120), Louie Pinto (132), Sahil Nagpal (138), Sakuntha Welagadara (145), Derek Fernandez (152), Robinson Reyes (170), Samba Diallo (182), Adam Badarelli (195), and AJ Perez (285). All 10 wrestlers arrived confident but focused knowing they would have some tough competition throughout the day. In a solid, nail-biting match, Carlos Triana nearly pulled another medal for Secaucus, but was sadly caught in the consolation by Pena of North Bergen. All 3 matches Triana wrestled at the tournament, he showed strength, heart and determination.
All four standout wrestlers will move on to wrestle in the NJSIAA Region 3 Wrestling Tournament. Fernandez and Badarelli will wrestle in the first round of the tournament on Wednesday, February 21 at 6pm held at West Orange High School. They hope to join Leon and Reyes on Friday, February 23 in the quarterfinals.
Leon and Reyes are the 1st District 12 Tournament Champions Secaucus High School has had since 2014 and are the 1st since the district tournament realignment.
Congratulations on your tournament success and we wish all Secaucus High School wrestlers the best of luck in the upcoming region and state tournaments.


text: The international posse represented in "Psionic Distortion" deploys a flanking maneuver in Japan's pop invasion of Gotham. It is revelatory to see East Villager Paul Pope's gorgeous sumi ink brushwork in raw black-and-white Batman boards before their subtleties are lost in translation to DC's glossy color stock. Taiyo Kimura uses pencil for his tiny manga sketches—one bulb-headed creature cavorts atop his own dialogue balloons—which form the basis for video shorts of the artist grafting bathroom faucets, flashlights, and dead fish onto his body, creating grotesque parodies of kids' Transformer toys. In one excruciating segment he practically suffocates inside a plastic bag, morbidly recalling the Aum Shinrikyo cult's deadly gas attack on Tokyo's subway. In the center of the gallery, relics from recent sonic performances by Muneteru Ujino (power drills bolted to guitar bodies, a vinyl disc of Yes's warhorse Relayer spiked with colored-pencil stubs) form a visual mash-up. Jeremy Stenger's acetate painting of an eviscerated sparrow, which mimics the sharp-blurry focus pull of multi-layered animation cels, shares a tragic vision with Mikio Taka's watercolors of distended, drooling heads covered with farragoes of psychedelic tattoos and drenched in acid rain. They feel like stills from an anime epic set within the shadow of the bomb.

Children with Autism Benefit from High-Quality Early Intervention
In a study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, University of North Carolina's team of researchers discovered that preschoolers with autism who have received quality early intervention benefit developmentally despite of the treatment model used.
The findings are imperative for special-education programs and school classrooms nationwide, with each group of children displaying positive change in autism severity, communication and motor skills resulting from early intervention regardless of comprehensive treatment models.

The PEP "Grant Plus" mechanism
A program of manifold support to help strengthen research capacities in developing countries
PEP provides researchers based in developing countries with a sophisticated program of financial, technical and scientific support that systematically removes obstacles to the conduct of state of the art research in/from their home countries.
Indeed, the provision of PEP grants addresses the lack of funding for research in developing countries, which all too often leads the best and brightest local researchers to move to developed countries. However, solving the funding issue is not always enough to convince local experts to pursue their research activities in/from their home country, and it is in this regard that PEP innovates in the support it provides.
PEP's comprehensive scientific support strategy ensures that local researchers in all regions of the developing world have access to advanced training, as well as continued mentoring provided by PEP-affiliated international experts. PEP also makes available all the documentation and software necessary - for the researchers to achieve the best possible analysis - as well as a variety of professional development grants, to promote their expertise both at the national and international levels.
Moreover, the organisational structure of PEP provides its members with a unique networking experience, enabling them to interact with peers all around the world (North and South) to remedy the lack of research infrastructure in their home countries.
Find out more about the list of activities and various forms of support comprised in the PEP "Grant Plus" support program.
Current PEP initiative for research and capacity building
Researchers interested in benefiting from PEP support are invited to apply during one of PEP's recurrent calls for proposals, which are usually launched in the context of a PEP collaboration with specific donor institutions.
Below is the description of the current PEP research initiative for which further new candidates may apply in 2013 and 2014:
New pep initiativeIDRC and UK aid
To build and promote research capacities in developing countries
Including research grants, scientific and technical assistance, training and mentoring by international experts, resources and international exposure
Applying new knowledge and techniques in the conduct of rigorous policy analysis
For up to 75 research teams based in developing countries
Selected through competitive calls for proposals - with priority given to low-income countries, fragile and conflict states
For the analysis of specific and country-relevant policy issues
Under the broad theme of inclusive growth and employment, the research agenda of the selected projects will be defined according to a list of priority issues identified by an international policy group as especially relevant to address specific knowledge gaps and policy needs in terms of evidence base in developing countries.
For the first call, the identified priority issues are:
Providing social protection to the informal sector
Youth employment and entrepreneurship
Employment intensity of non-agricultural growth
Entrepreneurial risk tolerance by gender
Discrimination in credit access for women at the SME level
(find a detailed description for each of the above-listed themes, HERE)
From a variety of analytical perspectives
PEP specializes and provides training in a variety of cutting-edge methodologies, tools and techniques of economic development research, such as:
Community-based monitoring systems (CBMS)
Macro-micro policy simulations (MPIA)
Impact evaluations, including randomized controlled trials (PIERI)
Microeconomic measurement and analysis (PMMA)
For the first (of three) PAGE call for proposals - launched in September 2012 - PEP received 151 proposals from 52 different countries, out of which 28 projects will be selected for support beginning in May 2013.
Two more calls for proposals will be launched in September 2013 and 2014
We recommend that you subsribe to PEP's main communication tools, such as our Facebook page or newsbulletin, the PEP Talk, to keep informed

As much as I was dreading this moment – it has finally come for me to turn the big 3-0! I thought I would have a disastrous breakdown but I must say I am doing much better than expected.
Reflecting back on my twenties and even my teenage years, I am comfortable with saying that "I did alright!" Obviously, there are details and actions that I would take adjustments on (It would be a lie if I said I regretted nothing) however being able to look back with a wider lens, all I want to do is laugh at myself.
Not stating that I have all aspects of my life figured out (not even close) but I have definitely learnt some key lessons in my twenties that I can vouch for and maybe my children (way down in the future) can mirror upon.
So here we go!
Don't Waste Time with Negative People.
When was the last time you had someone negative around you making you feel shitty about everything? For me, there are two types of negative people; ones that you have to learn to deal with and accept, and ones that you should get rid of quickly.
First, let's discuss the negative people who you should get rid of quickly. In my early twenties, I would spend time with individuals that felt that they were "better" than me and would always place me in an unfavourable setting. These people are the ones that tend to place you underneath in order to make themselves feel better or always negatively judging you and creating unnecessary drama. They will also make you doubt yourself and bring you down even at your happiest achievements. Sound familiar? I'm not sure what took me so long to rid these negative people (maybe I felt bad?). But trust me – once you do, you will feel so much better. Life really is too short to surround yourself with people who make you feel awful. Spend time with supportive people who promote positive energy into your life and people who inspire you.
Now let's talk about negative people that you can't abandon and have to adapt to. For most of my childhood growing up, my mother was negative nancy (I still love you mom!) Nothing was ever good enough or made her happy. As a typical Chinese mother – she would compare me to anyone and everyone's daughters. "My friend's daughter is in level 8 piano already!", "My friend's daughter is taller than you.", "My friend's daughter is at the top of her class.", "My friend's daughter can sing, dance and skip rope at the same time." Really?? I used to feel disappointing and mediocre most of the time. I wanted to please her but knew that I never truly could. Which in return made me very upset and emotional.
As I grew and my own thoughts developed, I realized that her negativity came from a place of love and her own upbringing in Communist China. I had no power in changing her mindset but I could change my own in hopes that one day she would realize.
I started participating in activities that I enjoyed and ignored her negative comments (trust me – very hard to do). I became so good at it that I could laugh and even make fun of myself. I truly focused on my own inner thoughts and blocked out all negative energy. I established my own sense of confidence and created a life that was for me. As time went on, my mother saw the positive energy that I created in my life and eventually jumped onboard. Adapt and change your own mindset!
Family. Ohana.
As I am getting older, family has become my top priority. I have always been close with my family and we are all very open with each other. During the younger days I would always choose hanging out or vacationing with friends – in recent times, that has definitely reversed. The connection that you have with your family is an important one. Having that supportive structure is the best thing. Friends come and go but family will always be there.
Travel As Much As You Can. Even Move Away On Your Own.
I know not everyone has the luxury of traveling but absolutely try. Even at an early age I would save all my money from my part-time jobs for traveling. Instead of purchasing brand name clothing and purses, I would travel. I sacrificed because I wanted life experiences and not material goods.
And I am not talking about the sitting in the sun and sipping pina coladas kind of traveling. I am talking about the ones that bring you new experiences, opens your mind and makes you step out of your comfort zone. Traveling has provided me with new ideas, a broader perspective and a deep appreciation for life. I have learned a great deal from experiencing different cultures, eating diverse foods and most importantly gaining new friendships.
One of most meaningful and crucial moments in my twenties was moving to Korea to teach English. It was a foreign place, I didn't speak the language and I was all alone. It scared me so much at the time, but I knew it was what I needed. I had been too comfortable and complacent. The experience fully opened my mind and really developed me as a person. When I returned home, silly situations that bothered me before never did anymore. People with their drama didn't bother me anymore. I developed a new sense of confidence and grew out of the 'bubble'. Oh, did I mention I met some kick-ass people in Korea that made life so much better?
It's Okay to Want Different.
I like to try new things all the time and take risks (nothing too crazy of course). Some people see me as scattered for participating and doing all these different things. There were moments in time where I would second guess myself and my actions because everyone around me always had a direct focus and planned to stick with it till retirement. My thought has always been – if I can sustain my life and try new things why shouldn't I? Being able to accept that it's okay to want different was one of my key moments.
Sometimes Time Doesn't Heal All But That's Okay.
Don't you love it when people say "don't worry, time heals all!" Really?? Does it really?
This would be magical wouldn't it. Of course the hurt and pain will dissipate to a lower degree but sometimes time doesn't heal everything but really it's okay. These painful, sad moments are what has shaped me and made me stronger. So just embrace and sing the Kelly Clarkson song.
Be Patient My Dear Self.
I would have to say I am very impatient and it was even evident as I was a child. I always wanted everything to happen quickly and I would become angry at myself or others around me as if we all had any control. BREATH! It takes time for things to happen. People who excel, practice their skills and have an endless desire to keep trying. Whatever it is that you want to accomplish just keep going at it and learn to enjoy the moment rather than looking on to the destination.
Rather Be Weird. Never Be Fake.
This is clearly easier said than done. There were many moments in my life that people viewed me as "weird" so I would transition to what "normal" was. I would follow the norm and just go with the crowd. I would fake conversations and pretended to like certain things. It might feel okay at first – feeling that you fit in. But trust me the last thing you want to do is be fake to yourself. I have now embraced my weirdness and have my husband, family and close friends to thank for that! Thanks guys!
Listen To Your Gut.
Just trust your gut feeling. It's always been there and for a good reason! It's taken me years to trust my gut and listen to my instincts. There has been times when I get a bad feeling about a certain client or project that I have to turn down. It might be scary at first and you will feel a heavy lump of guilt but it has never led me astray.
No One Owes You Nuthin.
This is something that I have been saying for a long time. Truly in this world no one owes you anything. If someone decides to do something nice or help you – you need to appreciate that. We often take for granted and feel that we deserve the act of kindness. But the truth is "no one owes you nuthin," so the next time someone opens the door for you or decides to let you walk ahead – be thankful.
Sometimes Silence Is Key. Wait For The Right Time.
If you know me, you know that I often speak without thinking and very openly. This is just how I am naturally wired and in most cases people closest to me understand. However, there has been situations where being silent had a better, more positive affect. Sometimes the receiver isn't ready to hear what you have to say or they haven't fully accepted the situation. Give them some verbal space and think about the outcome of your words.
Happy Turning 3-0 to me! Looking forward to all that I have to learn in my 30s!
Thanks for reading!

The second-hand on a garage sale clock faithfully rounds its monotonous journey without applause. The refrigerator hums its steady song, punctuated with an occasional gurgle yet never interrupting the low vibrato background. The ceiling fan spins dizzily without a spotter, cooling the flashes of midlife warmth. That old laptop given (back) to me by my marine son breathes an intermittent gasp, perhaps thankful for a contented life on a desk rather than a tent in Afghanistan. A reliable click from the watchful thermostat signals the a/c on call that faithfully answers without protest. And the old kitchen chair filling in at the desk offers no complaint as it creaks with my leaning and turning. I thought the lonely night seemed silent, but the longer I listen, the louder the quiet.

Stages, Spotlights & Scripts
One day the curtain of your life will rise and all theatrics shall be revealed. Your story may flow along smoothly at first but the plot will eventually thicken and climactic events will demand action from you, its main character.
A lonely spotlight will shine, waiting for your presence, anticipating dialogue. But, you will ignore your cue, refusing to take your place. Instead, you'll slip behind the scenes, blending in with the backstage chaos.
You will sweat and pace while your shaking hands keep rhythm with the beat of your anxious heart pounding inside your chest. In a prideful attempt to dismiss your stage-fright insecurities, you will improvise with criticism of your cast and crew, delivering impromptu accusations and murmuring insults about drama queens.
All the while, in your absence, the braver performers, who understand the show must go on, will boldly take the stage with commanding character. Happy-ending believers will rewrite the script and from a dark, lonely corridor, the audience' applause will baffle your unbelieving mind. Curtain calls will echo encores while understudies and unknowns bow, humbly in the spotlight of their success.
Sad is the actor who ignores his cue then blames others for rewriting the story.

Video: Police scanners can now freeze prepaid cards
Controversy has erupted over a technology that allows law enforcement officials to immediately freeze and later seize funds found on prepaid cards in suspects' vehicles. "The IRS has called prepaid cards the currency of criminals," says Jack Williams, founder of ERAD.
ERAD is the company that sells law enforcement the software to take on the road. He says the technology allows officers to do with cards what they currently do with cash when they pull someone over with probable cause: Seize the money and get a court order to keep it. "Prepaid cards is the currency of the global criminal. Right now they function with impunity. ERAD's purpose is to provide law enforcement with a tool to counter that impunity they've enjoyed," says Williams.
In Oklahoma where the controversy began, opponents worried that law enforcement agencies could more than just freeze funds on prepaid cards, but rather access routing and account numbers on credit and debit cards they found. Williams denies his technology has the ability to access any information that isn't already found on the front and back of a credit card. But he says if criminals hide stolen credit card information on the mag stripe of even a hotel room key, officers can now detect the fraud within seconds. "The largest single arrest was 16,803 cards for a total value of $2.1 million," he says.
However, civil rights activists argue that it's not just criminals who carry around prepaid or stored-value cards. "Here in Oklahoma, many state agencies now dole out state benefits, student loan payments and even child support payments specifically on stored-value cards," says Brady Henderson with the ACLU of Oklahoma.
The ACLU worries if law enforcement has this power, they may abuse it - especially since the agencies get to keep money they seize. "What often can happen is police forces that are strapped for cash start thinking less about the investigation, less about the actual law enforcement mission and more about how to obtain funds from it," says Henderson.
After the uproar, the Governor of Oklahoma temporarily suspended the use of ERAD scanners on the road. But, that doesn't worry Williams, who says more than 300 jurisdictions across the country are now using his technology. In a world where cash was once king, cards are becoming the currency of choice – and Williams believes these scanners are the only way troopers can stop the flow of criminal funds.

Fred Foy is best known as the announcer for The Lone Ranger. It was Foy's memorable voice that opened the radio program with: "From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver... The Lone Ranger rides again!" Foy wrote a book about the inner workings of the program but was unable to get it published before his untimely death. His daughter, Wendy, is now offering a signed and limited numbered first edition in order to raise money as a gift fundraiser to set up a museum display focusing on Fred Foy's history of The Lone Ranger.
Only 250 copies of the book are available for a tax-deductible donation of $110, or more. These first editions will not be available for sale to the public so this is the only way you can get a copy. You can only get a copy of this book through this fundraiser. Each are hand-numbered and signed by Wendy Foy, Fred's youngest daughter. Check or money order can be made payable to "The Wabash County Museum" and the notation line should say "donation." The check or money order should be mailed to:
Wendy Foy
Po Box 1313
Wells, Maine 04090
Be sure to include your mailing address and if hand-written, legible so she can read it and know where to send the book to.
And if you want to know more about Fred Foy, his daughter created a spectacular website dedicated to the voice that became synonymous with The Lone Ranger. I highly recommend it. Not only is this the most comprehensive website created by a family relative of radio and television's pop culture, but you will find yourself spending thousands of hours reading and listening.

Campbell's mayor has found himself in a flurry of media activity since launching an online campaign to lift the lifetime ban on gay blood donors.
As of Aug. 26, Mayor Evan Low's campaign on change.org, an online petition platform, had surpassed 20,000 signatures.
"I'm just one person in small town, Campbell, population 40,000 people," Low said, during an interview on Aug. 26. "So it's sort of strange that this sort of fell in my lap and I'm the advocate for this issue."
Earlier this summer, Low received a letter from the American Red Cross asking him to host a blood drive.
Low agreed to host the drive because, he said, his No. 1 priority is the welfare of the public. However, as a gay man, he felt conflicted because of the discriminatory law against gay and bisexual men.
Since 1983, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has prohibited men who have had sex with other men at any time since the U.S. AIDS epidemic began in 1977 from giving blood for life.
Low attended the blood drive at the Campbell Community Center and was denied the opportunity to donate blood. He created the online petition Aug. 15, and it has steadily gained support and media attention-over the past two weeks.
Since launching the campaign, Low has been interviewed on MSNBC. Low said he wasn't expecting the media attention.
"I didn't expect to do the campaign. I didn't expect to get the attention to this issue," Low said. "It was very organic."
The timing of Low's campaign may have added to its success. Low launched his campaign just a few days after 80 bipartisan members of both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, asking for a re-evaluation of the ban.
The American Red Cross, Blood Centers of America and the American Medical Association have come out in support of re-evaluating the ban. The United Kingdom, Australia and Canada have repealed their lifetime bans.
"So there's certainly a lot of momentum related to this issue," Low said.
Mark Anthony Dingbaum, a communications manager at change.org, said the organization is the largest petition platform in the world; more than 40,000 campaigns are started on the site each month.
"I can tell you that this is one of the most popular LGBT-related petitions on the platform right now, and it is the largest petition tackling the blood ban," Dingbaum wrote in an email.
Dingbaum wrote that successful petitions on change.org have a compelling personal narrative and a clear goal.
"Because [Low] has been personally impacted by this issue as a gay man and can speak to its broader implications as a mayor, his story is really resonating with users on our platform," Dingbaum wrote.
Low said there is no organized opposition to the re-evaluation of the policy. However, he said, some individuals are "hesitant," to see the policy changed as they believe the ban is there for a reason.
However, Low pointed out, the ban was implemented before there were scientific ways to test for HIV-tainted blood.
Today, all donated blood is tested for HIV as well as other diseases, said Jared Schultzman, communications manager for the American Red Cross.
"Subject matter experts are all in support of repeal and re-evaluation of this lifetime ban so it just seems like a no-brainer now," Low said, adding that he understands the government taking necessary time to evaluate and change policies because "we are dealing with people's lives."
If the petition reaches 25,000 signatures, the petition will be sent to the Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA.
Vice Mayor Rich Waterman said the issue caught the public's attention because of Low's compelling story and his ability to focus in on the issue at hand.
"That's how change happens," Waterman said.

Today Match Update: Rajasthan Royals Vs Delhi Daredevils @ Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur 8:00PM
April 10, 2018
Rajasthan Royals will need to regroup quickly after a heavy loss when they face Delhi Daredevils in what will be their first IPL home game in five years at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Wednesday.
Royals, on the other hand, could never cope with the bowling might of Sunrisers Hyderabad and went down by nine wickets in Hyderabad yesterday.
They fielded pretty much their strongest first eleven in the first game and are likely to continue the same way going forward, given that Jofra Archer is still unlikely to feature.
It was a rather forgettable opening for the hosts who are making a comeback in the tournament after serving a two- year suspension.
Daredevils were severely hit by K.L. Rahul's fastest fifty against Kings XI Punjab, losing in Mohali by six wickets.
Delhi learnt it after KL Rahul's record-breaking fifty blew them away, while Rajasthan Royals were left a touch embarrassed by the bowlers of Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Glenn Maxwell has rejoined the team and is likely to come in straightaway in the place of one off the all rounders, Daniel Christian or Chris Morris. Delhi might ponder making a few tweaks to their bowling group as well.
The biggest factor for the Delhi Daredevils is the presence of Gambhir as skipper. He is eager to prove his prowess and leads the side with aggression.
The weather in the Pink City has been cloudy with a little bit of drizzle.
Where: Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur
When: 20:00 IST on 11th April, Wednesday
What to expect: A pleasant, warm evening is forecast which should allow for a good game.
Delhi Daredevils:
Gautam Gambhir (captain)
Shreyas Iyer, Sandeep Lamichhane, Manjot Kalra, Glenn Maxwell, Amit Mishra, Mohammed Shami, Chris Morris, Colin Munro, Shahbaz Nadeem, Naman Ojha, Rishabh Pant, Harshal Patel, Jason Roy, Vijay Shankar, Prithvi Shaw, Rahul Tewatia, Jayant Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, Avesh Khan, Trent
Boult, Daniel Christian, Sayan Ghosh, Gurkeerat Singh Mann.
Rajasthan Royals:
Ajinkya Rahane (Captain )
Ankit Sharma, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Dhawal Kulkarni, Jofra Archer, D'Arcy Short, Dushmantha Chameera, Stuart Binny, Shreyas Gopal, S Midhun, Jaydev Unadkat, Ben Laughlin, Prashant Chopra, Krishnappa Gowtham, Mahipal Lomror, Jatin Saxena, Anureet Singh, Aryaman Birla, Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen, Zahir Khan and Rahul Tripathi.
