Theme 4: Collaboration and data
"Working together in partnership to create one shared purpose and oneshared vision, we will work with the voluntary sector, public services, business community and community groups to deliver our outcomes"
Tony Newman, Leader of the Council, Corporate Plan 2018-22
We will use digital tools to collaborate with organisations across all sectors, make Croydon's data open and share digital assets for the public good.
Our desired outcomes:
- Appropriate digital channels are in place to facilitate the council, other public services, business and the community and voluntary sector to share information and collaborate effectively
- There is a culture of collaboration and reuse of digital assets and data between all organisations delivering public good in Croydon, minimising duplication of effort and accelerating our collective capability to deliver better outcomes for our communities
- All organisations in Croydon can contribute to and access a growing set of shared data stores and common platforms that they can make use of to create and enhance digital products and services
- The council plays an active role in local and national digital communities of practice, sharing our experience and capabilities, and is a recognised leader in digital
Where we are now
The council has existing partnerships and alliances with a number of organisations, most notably the One Croydon Alliance – a partnership of 6 bodies collaborating across organisational boundaries for better health and wellbeing outcomes – and we work closely with statutory agencies and the community and voluntary sector across a range of other deliverables outlined in our Corporate Plan. There is considerable potential to make better use of technology to facilitate information-sharing across these existing partnerships, and help us forge new ones.
An effective system-wide approach also relies on shared local data. A wide range of data about Croydon, and transparency information about council operations, is already publicly available via the Croydon Observatory, our corporate website, the London Data store and data.gov.uk. However, there is more to do to unlock more data, improve quality, make all our data easier to find and ensure it conforms to open standards. Of particular priority is the geographic data held by the council, which is currently split across disparate systems and needs work and clearer ownership to get it where it needs to be and make it available for reuse.
However, we are in a strong position to radically improve how the council uses, combines and shares data from multiple sources, having invested in a fit-for-purpose cloud business intelligence platform. For example, we have recently begun scoping work on data intelligence to help us take targeted action across the system to prevent violent crime.
As the council reviews and refreshes its core digital platforms and rationalises its portfolio of back office software, there is an opportunity to create common platforms and codebases that are shared not only within the council, but with partners across the system as "public good" civic assets. A small example of such a platform exists already in the form of Croydon Digital (www.croydon.digital) – a shared publishing platform for the tech and digital community. The council has a number of open source capabilities that can be enabled for reuse across the local system, and we expect that other organisations are similarly creating digital assets with untapped potential for reuse. We want to explore the potential to share these actively across the local system.
Similarly, it is imperative that we reuse and share ideas, technology and approaches across both central and local government. As one of London's largest boroughs, Croydon has a major role to play in contributing to joined-up solutions for the whole city, and co-delivering the Smarter London Together plan. Our status as one of the founding members of the new London Office for Technology and Innovation stands us in good stead to collaborate closely with other London boroughs.
Nationally, local authorities have similar problems to solve and increasingly limited resources, and so wherever possible we will both contribute to and make use of common solutions, shared platforms and lessons learned with all our local government peers. We have committed to do so by signing the Local Digital Declaration, and are active participants in networks of our digital peers such as LocalGovDigital.
What we will do
To move forward in this area, we will:
- Publish data openly wherever possible, in reusable formats, and work with partners to identify the most appropriate channels to use to do this
- Put in place the necessary technology and governance to allow for easy appropriate data sharing across the borough
- Develop and steward a digital platform of reusable technology components, to be shared with partners within the borough
- Explore the potential for a shared Croydon authentication capability between the council and other organisations – providing a trusted, secure way to prove identity online and enabling users to access a wide range of local services with a single login
- Where we have a need to acquire a new technology solution, we will seek to reuse existing shared capabilities, contributing back any improvements we make
- Work closely with existing collaborative partnerships, such as the One Croydon Alliance, to ensure user-centred digital products and services are delivered across organisational boundaries
- Combine a growing capability in data science and business intelligence with experiments and innovations in emerging technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to enable the council to predict demand and prevent it occurring
- Improve the council's strategic offer and delivery of geographic data for internal and external use, starting with establishing clear ownership, roles and responsibilities across our currently disparate systems and data sources
- Through our status as signatories to the Local Digital Declaration, we will work to become an exemplar digital council and acknowledged as a leader in the sector in this area of work, liaising closely with the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government
- Be deeply involved in digital networks within our sector and beyond, including being founding and active members of the London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI), and contributors to LocalGovDigital
- Deliver an ongoing portfolio of improvements to existing, and the creation of new, data and collaboration initiatives, prioritised on our public roadmap
Indicative dates for priority deliverables
- We are already sharing our digital work and learning via croydon.digital and will continue to do this actively
- We will begin using the Local Government Digital Pipeline by September 2019, to share our plans and identify opportunities to collaborate with other local authorities, and contribute the findings of our user research to the shared library developed by Hackney council to benefit other councils
- We will complete a discovery project by March 2020 on the concept of a shared digital component library for Croydon, and develop our plans to take this forward
Check our live, continuously updated roadmap to see specific deliverables, track our progress, offer help or give your feedback to influence what we do next: croydon.digital/roadmap
"Insist on data generated by infrastructure in Croydon is open by default, with stableidentifiers. Also, provide sample procurement contracts that are open and flexible, foruse in Croydon and other local government. Build a basic digital layer into all projects– eg Westfield"
"The council has a limited budget to spend on tech improvements.[…] There are already people in the borough that work in software, so why not leverage them? If you open sourced some parts of the software you use, residents could contribute and improve the software itself, saving you money and also giving residents ownership."
"Success for your digital strategy is about more than delivering the same processes in a new way. Digital transformation means providing a seamless experience to citizens meeting all their needs, predicting and preventing problems and putting the analytics in the hands of decision-makers to drive policy. Data and location are at the heart of this."

Not even a percentage of a proposed ballot measure to require drilling be a minimum of 2,500 feet away from areas such as residential neighborhoods, parks and waterways came from Weld County, an industry lobby has found.
The industry group, Protecting Colorado's Economy, Environment, and Energy Independence, which organized to fight the anti-oil and gas measures, analyzed the signatures turned in for a group's failed effort to get two initiatives limiting oil and gas development on the ballot, according to a news release. The study found more than 70 percent of the validated signatures collected in support of Initiative 78, the setback measure, came from residents of Boulder and Larimer counties and the Denver metro area.
Signature gatherers apparently stayed out of Weld, which produces 90 percent of the state's oil and where drilling has been going on for more than 45 years, and Garfield County, which produces a majority of the state's natural gas.
As a result, Protect Colorado has thrown its support behind Amendment 71, which requires valid signatures from 2 percent of registered voters in each of the 35 state Senate districts and the backing of 55 percent of voters at the ballot box, to change the state's constitution. The group, which in total raised $14 million to fight the initiatives and spent $11.3 million in that fight, received contributions from practically every major oil and gas company in Colorado, according to financial reports filed Monday with the Colorado Secretary of State's office. That leaves $2.8 million in their war chest.
"Amending the state constitution should not be left solely in the hands of a few counties,' said Karen Crummy, communications director for Protect Colorado in a news release. "The entire state should have a say on what does or does not make the ballot. Under Amendment 71, all Colorado voters would have a voice."
There are 64 counties and 35 senate districts in Colorado. Crummy said in the release their study reveals "how a handful of counties influence the ballot process."
Boulder, for instance, comprised nearly 25 percent of all signatures gathered in support of the setback measure. Many economic studies reported the measure would have effectively stopped all drilling in Colorado, costing 140,000 jobs and $217 billion in economic activity over the next 15 years. Only 9 percent of all Colorado voters live in Boulder, according to the release.
The 10-day review of 106,600 signatures filed with the Colorado Secretary of State's office in support of Initiative 78 show 74,763 signatures were valid. Of those, 70.13 percent came from Boulder, Larimer and the Denver metro area. The Secretary of State validated 77,109 of the signatures for that measure, about 21,000 shy of what they needed to make the ballot.

Sarah Palin Killed Granny...
In a study by the New England Journal of Medicine that exposes the effects of end-of-life care, doctors have discovered that patients with terminal lung cancer who began receiving palliative care quickly after diagnosis were not only happier, were more mobile and had less pain as the end neared - but they also lived nearly three months longer. Dr. Diane E. Meier, director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care at Mount Sinai School of Medicine said, "It shows that palliative care is the opposite of all that rhetoric about 'death panels,'" and added, "It's not about killing Granny; it's about keeping Granny alive as long as possible - with the best quality of life." Tragically in response to Sarah Palin's hysteria about death panels, advice about end of care options will not be covered by Obamacare.

Regulators May Put Robo Firms Under Fiduciary Microscope
Following industry suggestions that robo advisors may be violating investment laws, SEC Commissioner Kara Stein is publicly questioning whether a fiduciary duty applies to automated advice – and whether existing laws should be revised to account for the digital wealth management platforms.
"The commission is now challenged with thinking through what it means to regulate a robo advisor," Stein told an audience at Harvard Law School this week in a lecture sponsored by Fidelity. "This concept did not even exist when most of the laws applicable to investment advisers were drafted."
A report commissioned this year by Federated Investors and authored by Washington-based banking and securities attorney Melanie Fein argued that robo advisors may be unregistered investment companies, in violation of both the Investment Company Act of 1940 and SEC regulations.
While Stein did not reference that report, her questions touched upon its main thrust: that robos do not provide personalized investment advice, do not minimize investment costs, are not free from conflicts of interest, do not meet a high standard of care, do not act in a client's best interest, exclude ERISA accounts and do not meet the Department of Labor's proposed best interest contract as part of a fiduciary standard.
"What does a fiduciary duty even look like or mean for a robo advisor?" Stein asked the audience rhetorically.
"The idea of a robotic entity that automatically generates investment advice certainly bumps up against what we would traditionally think of as a fiduciary. As this innovation gains more market share -- as it seems poised to do -- we should be asking whether these new robo advisors can be neatly placed within our existing laws.
"Or, do we need certain tweaks and revisions? Do investors using robo advisors appreciate that, for all their benefits, robo advisors will not be on the phone providing counsel if there is a market crash?"
Fein, author of Robo-Advisors: A Closer Look, said the commissioner's statements were an indication that automated advice platforms "are on their radar screen."
"It's recognition that there are fiduciary issues raised by the new robo advisor technology, as it were," Fein said. "I'm glad she and presumably others at the SEC are aware of these issues and are thinking about them."
Fein added it was a "positive development. … I'm not the first one to point that out. I certainly don't take any credit. It's definitely something that they will need to address sooner or later."
Betterment, the leading independent robo advisor, said it was in compliance with investment law.
"At Betterment, we hold our fiduciary responsibility with the highest regard," said Betterment spokesman Joe Ziemer. "We've gone to great lengths to build our platform from the ground up, ensuring that we are fully aligned with our customers and clear in the value we offer."

Around 60% of us are not meeting the standard of being 'sufficiently active' — that being participating in more than 30 minutes of physical activity at least four or more days a week. One in five of us do no physical activity at all.
A lack of time is obviously a factor — with the rate of exercise dropping significantly when women have kids.
But also in the way is confidence, embarrassment and a fear of judgement.
Today, VicHealth has released preliminary results of a study of 2500 Victorians that found 41% of women feel too embarrassed to exercise in public, compared with 26% of men.
The survey also found 39% of women believe they are not physically coordinated, compared with 24% of men.
But then 72% of women feel good about themselves when doing exercise, and 70% of us feel comfortable in exercise clothing (there's a good reason why activewear's creeping into shopping malls, trips to the dentist and even co-working spaces).
The idea that a fear of judgement might be preventing some women from exercising is a cause for concern. It's also something we can work together to help overcome by aiming to support and encourage more women in pursuing physical activity.
In the UK, a campaign called This Girl Can, funded by The National Lottery and developed by Sport England, celebrates active women no matter their size, age or background, (or how sweaty and red-faced they get).
The campaign's focus is to help women overcome any fears of judgement that might be holding women and girls back from getting active. The social media platforms and website share a number of diverse stories of women participating in everything from kickboxing to roller derby, cycling and running.
It's so far encouraged 2.8 million women to get active since launching, according to Sport England CEO, Jennie Price.
Now, VicHealth is bringing the same initiative to Australia.
Launched this morning at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, the Victorian version of This Girl Can, will showcase real women getting active regardless of their ability, fitness level, or how they look.
RT: VicHealth We're at MelbSportsHub this morning for an exciting annoucement – stay tuned! … https://t.co/0jBmDOBVrq
— Jarrod McMaugh MPS (@pharmerfour) July 24, 2017
It's the first time the program's been launched outside of England, and Sport England CEO, Jennie Price is in Australia to get the ball rolling.
VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter, has urged women to get involved by sharing their stories of being active in order to be a part of the campaign, and to possibly feature in upcoming commercials.
She said their research proves too many Victorian women still feel intimidated and embarrassed about taking part in sport and exercise. She wants to see more of us overcoming concerns about how we look while exercising, to build confidence in developing skills, and move past feeling that we must always prioritise family or work over being active.
Jennie Price added that the Australian version of the program will be aided by insights from the campaign in England. From Melbourne, she's keen to roll it out to as many countries as possible. "The ultimate goal for this campaign is to let girls grow up in a world where there is no fear of being active."

It's pronounced "lef-tenant", actually June 22, 2017 – Posted in: the place, the wine – Tags: Awards, Broken Barrel, Hooray, Jason, JPC, Syrah
Some wines mean more to us than other, I have to say. As much as we like to think of the wines we make as our 'bottle babies', in more honest reflection they're more like our pupils or students. And like a classroom full of kids you have a wide range skills and potential. As good teachers, we try our best each and every day to give these kids the tools they need to be successful whatever they choose to do in life. Do you want to be drank on a patio in your first year? We say go for it, kid. Or are you the more introspective type and want to evolve and philosophize deep in a cellar for 20 years? Yeah, we can help you with that too. Over the years though, there are certain 'kids' you root for a bit more, ones that you remember fondly that much more than other ones. Collectively, one of our favourite pupils in the history of hatch-academy has been the '13 Broken Barrel Syrah; a wine many of you have never really heard of or even seen perhaps. We're super protective of that wine. It had a tough childhood even though from a super early age it oozed potential and genius. Even despite a near fatal accident (hence the moniker of 'The Broken Barrel') we've watched and nurtured this wine into the world today and today we receive news that it has won one of the most genuinely prestigious awards in Canada; the Lt. Governor's award. '"2017s winning wines represent the best from our province" said (the Honourable Judith) Guichon. ͞The hundreds of exceptional wines entered each year make it a challenge to select just twelve winners.͟ This year, 486 wines were submitted by 132 wineries for judging. The winners are:' a very impressive collection of wines, I have to say. The fact our blossoming little tyke made this list fills us with more joy than you can imagine. Congrats to Jason, Brodie, Corey, Colin, Jon-Rae, Kelly and the JPC Team as a whole, this one is for you and it's our honour to be the ones who get to school and educate this wine and people on this wine and stash a few ourselves. Can't wait to see how this little guy turns out in life, but so far I have to say this kid is going places. Next stop, Cambridge!
Now you probably want to buy this wine, don't you? I shall not blame you for that.

There are few names that truly become revered as design icons. Achille Castiglioni is such a name. A frequent collaborator with Flos Lighting, this year marked a century since the artisan designer was born - an event celebrated by Flos with no uncertain amount of admiration. So what exactly is it that makes a designer's name endure in the world of luxury lighting? Just like an artist might create a work of art in response to the times in which they live, so too do great designers emerge to create solutions for day-to-day life. Simply put, great designs are ones that speak to the needs of their generation. Designers can achieve this through a multitude of different ways, whether it be through architecture, interior design, or all the way down to product design. Born in Milan in 1918, Castiglioni was a student of design and architecture his entire life. Once he finished his architectural studies in Milan, he went on to join his brothers working at their family's design firm in 1944. It was with his brother, Pier Giacomo, that he designed many of his most famous lighting products, including the celebrated Arco Floor Lamp, the Snoopy Table Lamp, and the Taccia Table Lamp - all produced by the Italian lighting brand, FLOS. It was with FLOS that many of these iconic pieces were and are still produced today. One could even go as far as to say that Castiglioni made the lighting brand the design powerhouse it is today. His influence is one that remains clearly feslt. Castiglioni's approach to design has been described as innovative, imaginative, and always with a dash of humour. His stance on new and innovative designs is perhaps best described in his own words: "Start from scratch, stick to common sense, and know your goals and means." Such a philosophy no doubt developed during the years he designed in post-World War II Milan. As one might suspect, being a designer in post-war Italy offered up certain challenges. The atmosphere he was surrounded by offered a prime opportunity for Castiglioni to experiment. It was nearly 1960 when Achille and Pier Giacamo started together with Flos. After Sergio Gandini arrived in 1962, they started to experiment with the material for their cocoon lamps in Merano, in the north of Italy. It inspired (and still inspires) young designers to look around, and to think of objects in new ways. Consequently, it also encourages innovation and experimentation to make things better. Much like Castiglioni did with regularity throughout his career. Celebrations and special product releases have abounded this year in honor of Castiglioni's 100th birthday. Flos recently released an updated limited edition version of his classic Snoopy Lamp, with a reflector in a matte finish in contrast to the original glossy version. Flos also paid further tribute to Castiglioni with a special display at this year's Salone del Mobile. The illuminated, cartoon strip-like display managed to capture Castiglioni's sense of humor and playfulness, while also showing off the variety and creativity of his work.

DURING two years in office Mexico's president, Enrique Peaa Nieto, has received sharply contrasting reviews at home and abroad. Foreigners, including The Economist, have praised his structural reforms of the economy, which include an historic measure to open up energy to private investment. Yet polls show that most Mexicans dislike Mr Peaa. Among other things, they blame his government for a squeeze on living standards and the interlinked problems of violent crime and corruption. Sadly, recent events have lent support to Mr Peaa's domestic critics.
On November 8th Mexico's attorney-general announced what almost everyone had already concluded: that 43 students from a teacher-training college in the southern state of Guerrero, who disappeared in the town of Iguala in late September, had been murdered by drug-traffickers after being kidnapped by the local police on the orders of the town's mayor. Guerrero has been Mexico's most violent state for centuries. The federal government bears no direct responsibility for these events. But Mexicans see in them a symbol of the failure of Mr Peaa's administration to make security a priority.
Now comes a problem that is uncomfortably close to home. The government had already opted to cancel a contract for a high-speed train that it had hastily awarded to the sole bidder, a consortium of Chinese and Mexican companies including a construction firm from the president's home state. A local journalist has revealed that the boss of the same firm owns a mansion that is the Peaa family's private residence. The president denies any wrongdoing, but a common thread runs through these events.
Mexico only became a democracy in 2000, when seven decades of rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the political machine that raised Mr Peaa, were ended by electoral defeat. Unfortunately, democracy did not bring the rule of law to Mexico. Too many in the PRI still see the job of the police and the courts as enforcing political control, rather than investigating mobsters. Corrupt politicians are protected rather than punished. Organised crime and graft both remain a part of everyday life, and neither has been helped by the drugs flowing north to the United States.
Some things have changed. The Supreme Court now operates professionally. A 41,000-strong federal police force is more capable than most of its local counterparts. Felipe Calderón, Mr Peaa's predecessor, weakened the drugs gangs, but at the price of a surging murder rate and unchecked abuses by the security forces. On paper, Mr Peaa has a grand crime-prevention strategy. However his real efforts have been focused on the economy. The murder rate may have fallen back slightly, but extortion and kidnappings have not. Tycoons practise espionage and bribe judges. For many Mexicans, Iguala was a reminder of the gap between justice for the poor and for the rich.
How to end impunity
Mr Peaa's people rightly say that the rule of law cannot be imposed in Mexico overnight. But that is no excuse for inaction today. Iguala is not the only town where criminals run the police: in such places, the federal government should take temporary control of the police and administration. Mr Peaa should lead an effort to clean up state police forces and local courts. A bill to make the attorney-general's office independent and to create an anti-corruption agency should be fast-tracked. Federalism in Mexico needs change, too: states and municipalities raise almost no funds of their own and are not held to account for their spending. It is an indictment of all three main political parties that the elements in Mr Peaa's reform pact to make politicians accountable have yet to be approved.
However impressive Mr Peaa's economic reforms, Mexico will never manage to achieve its considerable potential without an honest, efficient criminal-justice system. Its democracy will lose legitimacy if its politicians continue to tolerate graft. Mr Peaa's domestic critics say that he is a skin-deep moderniser, steeped in his party's bad old ways. Now is the time for him to prove them wrong.

Parents many times want their disabled child to have a label. Any label will do. Why? So they know what they are dealing with and can start a plan of attack. Or, can finally put a name to what they have faced for so long. They never dreamed that it could force them into being denied basic insurance coverage for an illness or service, but it can.
Please don't give up. Please continue to fight. There are still ways to get things covered. It takes a lot of endurance but these types of parents to this everyday anyway.
One must first study their insurance plan. What is covered? That is right! Do not look for what is not covered. Read the guide you are given over and over. Become familiar with diagnostic codes. ICD9 coding is used by most insurance companies. Here is a web site that could be of use: http://icd9cm.chrisendres.com/. The way something is coded is the key to getting insurance to pay for the illness or service.
According to an Occupational Therapist, OT, one specific code not to use is 299.00, which is Autism. The code 783.40 is Developmental Delay, another area that insurance has denied often. The code the OT has received the best payment from is 781.3, Praxis or Motor in Coordination. The code has to relate to a medical need, if insurance is to pay.
Through unique circumstances a teacher noted that my son seemed to have a curved spine. My husband and I thought she was wrong. We finally consulted an Orthopedic Surgeon. This resulted in a prescription for Physical Therapy (PT) services, Social Skills Training and Speech Services. He has Scoliosis. The Doctor wrote the Rx for services based on a need to increase spatial body awareness and the diagnosis of Scoliosis, Asperger's and Dyssemia. Dyssemia is:
"The term comes from the Greek dys (difficulty) and semia (signal). These difficulties go beyond problems with body language and motor skills 'A classic set of studies by Albert Mehrabian showed that in face-to-face interactions, 55 percent of the emotional meaning of a message is expressed through facial, postural, and gestural means, and 38 percent of the emotional meaning is transmitted through the tone of voice. Only seven percent of the emotional meaning is actually expressed with word'] Dyssemic persons exhibit difficulties with the acquisition and use of nonverbal cues in interpersonal relationships. Dyssemia represents the social dysfunction aspect of Nonverbal Learning Disorder"
The insurance did pay for PT and the other services were not used at that time. Yet, this was a physical reason to write for these services. This Doctor says he sees Scoliosis in children with Autism a lot. This doesn't mean to take in all children with Autism to an Orthopedic Surgeon. By all means go through the Primary Care Physician (PCP) first.
What this is saying, is there are reasons other than Autism to bill insurance for services. Insurance will pay for these. One has to look at what insurance will pay for and see if their child has these conditions. Does it seem like a game? Well it just might seem like it. If it does, that means you have a chance of winning. If one does try, there is a 50/50 chance of winning, but if one does not try, the result is a loss.
Do you know what a Carve Out Plan is? Do you know what the Birthday Rule is? Do you know if you insurance company is a PPO or an HMO? One can go to www.parenttoparentnys.org and download a book on understanding insurance. Most states will have guide to Medicaid that tells what is covered .There is another web site that has a guide to understanding private insurance, http://www.healthinsuranceinfo.net/. Knowing these terms will help you when you are navigating the insurance network. A Carve Out Plan will not pay for anything that another plan does not pay for if one has two or more plans. The Birthday Rule is where both parents cover a child, the parents' birthday that comes first is the primary insurance and the other insurance is secondary. My birthday comes first in the year so if I had insurance then mine would be primary and my husband's would be the secondary.
Other things to bear in mind besides what to call it, believe are not are the geography of where you live. Some states mandate coverage for Autism. If they do cover Autism one might still want to consider calling it something else. What are the caps these states have put on covering Autism? Some have put it at very low. That means the insurance companies win and you lose. These are just things to consider. Just check on what the dollar amount is.
A New York Times articleA Road Map to Help Parents Deal with Financial Burden of Autism, talks about fighting insurance to pay for Autism and stretching the Autism dollar. Of course one needs to keep copies of all records: Explanations of Benefits, Doctors Receipts and other documents such as denial letters. What the article states about stretching the Autism dollar is if the services one gets at school, such as Occupational Therapy(OT), PT and Speech are good, then one can saves the other dollars to pay for out of pockets expenses not covered by insurance where needed.
Insurance often requires one to go all the way through the process of getting a denial and through the appeals process. Sometimes it helps to talk with the State Insurance office. This is not a guarantee and one may have to sue with a lawyer. Remember getting a lawyer may cost money. Even if one does attempt to sue for coverage it is not a given that one will win and sometimes it is good to know when to quit or give up the process. It may cost too much money to pay a lawyer and loose that money too. Please make the best informed decisions for your family.
Playing the insurance game is no fun. I hope this article has brought some strategy to your side. Paying for Autism is a never ending process. Remember call it anything but Autism. Look for something real that your child has, this should be easy. I pray that I have helped you in some way. Bless you for allowing me to share in your trials and blessings.

Autistic kids receive fair treatment with new bill
Sen. Sean Burrage
May 10, 2010
Pryor Daily Times
OKLAHOMA CITY — Starting Nov. 1, parents of children with autism will have greater protection when it comes to more fair treatment by insurance companies. Senate Bill 2045 was approved on bipartisan votes in the Senate and the House and has been approved by the governor. The measure includes language that will make certain health insurance companies cover the same illnesses and medical treatment for children with autism as they do for children who do not have that diagnosis.
To be clear, we are not talking about covering diagnosis and treatment of autism itself, although I believe this is something the state can and should do. We're specifically talking about families that have insurance, regularly pay their premiums, but when a medical condition affects a child with autism, the insurance company refuses to pay for treatment of that condition, even though the medical problem has nothing to do with autism.
We've had literally dozens of families complain that insurance companies had routinely denied claims filed on behalf of their children for illnesses and maladies
completely unrelated to the diagnosis of autism. According to the families, their claims were denied because Oklahoma does not require health insurance policies to cover the diagnosis and treatment of autism, and most insurers will specifically exclude autism.
Another way to put it is this. Two families have the same insurance policy. Both have sons who play a sport. The boy from the first family is hurt playing baseball. The insurance covers the cost of treatment; end of story. But for the second family, if their child is injured playing baseball, the outcome is different. Their medical claims are denied because their son happens to have been diagnosed with autism - even that had nothing at all to do with the getting hurt while playing baseball. With the passage of SB 2045 and the governor's signature, this lack of insurance parity will no longer be legal in Oklahoma.
Autism continues to be the fastest growing developmental disability in our nation, with as many as one in 110 children impacted by one of the conditions on the autism disorder spectrum. Science still has not determined the cause of autism, but we do know that early diagnosis and access to appropriate therapy and treatment can mean the difference between night and day in helping these children lead fuller lives.
This is the result of hard work and cooperation. The idea began as a bill by Sen. Jay Paul Gumm of Durant, who has pushed for enactment of "Nick's Law." While he hasn't given up on that effort to require coverage for diagnosis and treatment of autism, he came up with this common sense compromise everyone could support, even those who oppose "Nick's Law." He worked with Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn Coffee, who agreed to help get the compromise in a bill.
This is important step - but we have more to do. I still believe our public policy should be stronger and that our state should do a better job of supporting and protecting the rights of families with autistic children, in terms of available services, medical care, and fair treatment by insurance companies.
Thanks again for reading my "Senate Review." If you have any questions on a
legislative matter, please do not hesitate to contact my Senate office at the Capitol by calling (405) 521-5555 or writing me with your concerns at: Senator Sean Burrage, 2300 North Lincoln Blvd. Rm. 529-B State Capitol Building, Oklahoma City, OK 73105.
I always enjoy hearing from my constituents and consider it an honor to be your voice in the Oklahoma State Senate. May God bless each of you.

Mo. Senate passes autism insurance mandate
Associated Press - May 6, 2010 1:14 PM ET
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Senators have passed what they describe as a compromise bill to require insurance coverage of autism treatment for children.
The legislation would require group insurance policies regulated by the state to cover up to $45,000 annually for behavioral therapy for autistic children through age 18. The mandate would begin Jan. 1.
Senators passed the bill 27-6 Thursday. It now goes back to the House, which had passed a version with lower coverage caps earlier this year.
The annual coverage caps would apply only to "applied behavioral analysis," an intensive therapy that some parents say produces dramatic improvements in their autistic children.

The Stayton Room at the Lexington Hotel is now officially open. After a round of renovations just a few months ago, the space has now fully transformed into a jazzy, upscale bar.
Since March, little bits and details of the bar were fine-tuned in preparation for the grand opening event. The space stayed largely the same, but Abby Bullard, Associate Interior Designer with Stonehill Taylor, says a few things were tweaked.
"We did come across a few structural beams that we had to adjust—more structural and mechanical elements, but in terms of the design, the aesthetic and the integrity of the design, it has really stayed true to what it was from the very beginning of the design phase," Bullard says.
The event celebrated, of course, the opening of the bar, but also the appointment of Frank Caiafa, a veteran in the beverage industry, as Beverage Director of the Stayton Room. His resume includes the Peacock Alley and La Chine restaurants at The Waldorf Astoria.
Check this out: Filling a Neighborhood Need: How the Stayton Room Stands Out
Frank Caiafa says his work at the art deco hotel informs his role at the Stayton Room. "It's kind of like the same clientele, an old classic hotel. I'm just trying to let them know that there's a new show in town," says Caiafa.
That show is not only a selection of vintage drinks (and 1920s inspired ambiance), but also a positive patron experience. Of course, guests of The Lexington Hotel are involved in more than just the Stayton Room, so Caiafa immerses himself in all of what the hotel offers.
"I try to go to operations meetings more than a few times a month just to be on point and on the same page of what's going on at the other parts of the hotel. Everything from rooms or operations or engineering or construction projects—anything like that—all plays into the guest experience," Caiafa says.
Check this out: I Learned How to Pack Your Bar After I Attended an Open House
At the grand opening event, signature cocktails and classic libations were served. The show is just getting started, but, as fall approaches, plans are being made for a seasonally-appropriate menu.
"I am very happy with the Stayton Secret Signature Cocktail, so things [for the upcoming menu are] along those lines, focusing on local ingredients when possible, local whiskeys when possible. Just trying to let people try something that they normally won't have," Caiafa says.
The Stayton Room, available to both guests and locals, is open from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM daily. Visitors can enter through The Lexington Hotel's lobby or The Stayton Room's private entrance at 140 East 48th Street.

BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- China's oceanographic research vessel, Xiangyanghong 01, has returned to Qingdao, a coastal city in the eastern province of Shandong, after completing the country's 10th Arctic research expedition, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Carrying a team of scientists, the vessel spent 49 days at sea and sailed more than 10,300 nautical miles, reaching 76.02 degrees north latitude.
It is the first time that the vessel has conducted research in Arctic waters.
The research team carried out a series of surveys, including trawling, sampling and using the Chinese underwater glider Haiyan to observe and monitor the Arctic environment.
They also conducted marine surveys in the eastern Bering Sea and the northern Pacific Ocean, expanding China's exploration of the Arctic and beyond.
The vessel departed on Aug. 10 and returned on Sept. 27.

Solzhenitsyn's Between Two Milestones: Sketches of Exile, 1974-1978
Between Two Milestones. Book I. Sketches of Exile, 1974-1978. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 2018.
"Away from home in a country far away, even the springtime sun is gray."
– Russian proverb
The first translation into English of Solzhenitsyn's memoirs of his years in the West, Between Two Milestones covers the years 1974-78 (the second, forthcoming book will look at the years 1978-94). Having spent twenty years of his life in exile, and eighteen of them in the United States, Solzhenitsyn found himself between the "two milestones" of the totalitarian Soviet Union, from which he had been forcibly exiled in 1974, and the West with its consumerism, materialism, and loss of spiritual purpose that he roundly criticized. As the excellent introduction by Daniel Mahoney makes clear, Solzhenitsyn also was torn between his role as a literary writer and political prophet as well as his admiration for the West and his fear that it had lost its nerve against the Soviet Union. From these memoirs we see that Solzhenitsyn was an independent and clear-sighted thinker who abhorred the ideological cant of both Soviet communism and Western democratic liberalism. Seeking a different way from both East and West, Solzhenitsyn recorded his thoughts while in exile, which are now are finally available for the public to read.
The memoirs are divided into five chapters centered around a particular theme that both existentially and intellectually preoccupied Solzhenitsyn. Chapter one, "Untethered," accounts for Solzhenitsyn's time in Europe before departing to the United States. Solzhenitsyn's silence to the press after he had been exiled was not only a great disappointment to the media who had come from all corners of Europe to interview him but a foreshadowing of his fractious relationship with them in the future. From Germany to Switzerland to Norway and France and elsewhere, Solzhenitsyn met dignitaries, writers, and an assortment of Russian exiles. But throughout this time Solzhenitsyn worried about his family and his archives back in Russia.
It was also during this period that he wrote about his dispute with Sakharov about Letter to the Soviet Leaders; his decision to leave four-fifths of his royalties to the Russian Social Fund that would help Russian prisoners and persecuted victims; and his desire to move to Canada or the United States, for "It would also be good to have the children learn English, the most international language in the world."
When his family and archives finally arrived in Europe to join him, Solzhenitsyn resumed work on The Red Wheel, accepted his Noble Prize, dealt with the Swiss bureaucracy about speaking about politics, and tried to comprehend the idea of having "days off" (vacation). It also is clear how important the Russian Orthodox Church is to Solzhenitsyn as he attended service and spent time with priests and writers who defended the Church. But perhaps most striking was Solzhenitsyn's stay at the Canton of Appenzell with its vibrant Catholic culture and where its elected leader spoke about the responsibilities that accompanies rights for citizens in order to be free. This idea was for Solzhenitsyn what both the Soviet Union and the West needed to be spiritually healthy civilizations.
Aptly entitled, "Predators and Dupes," chapter two recounts Solzhenitsyn's life in the Soviet Union during the 1960s and his dealings with western publishers with their "mistrustful, corrosive, litigious approach" compared to the "boundless, self-sacrificing straightforwardness" of the East. The problems of translating Cancer War, First Circle, Archipelago, and August 1914 were partially mitigated with the hiring of a lawyer in the West (the Solzhenitsyn's were not aware that literary agents existed), although the KGB continually to throw up roadblocks and westerners took advantage of the situation, particularly the Carlisle's. It was only when Éditions du Seuil took over the literary management of Solzhenitsyn's affairs in 1974 did Solzhenitsyn began to be compensated fairly for his works.
"Another Year Adrift," chapter three, describes Solzhenitsyn's move to the United States. Having found Canada unsuitable – "when it comes to hefty, overfed, dimwitted hippies, Canada in no way lags behind the rest of the civilized world" – Solzhenitsyn looked to the United States, even hoping to find a community of Old Believers in the country (which he did in Oregon). It was in Alaska, their first visit to the United States, where Solzhenitsyn decided to move to America rather than Canada. Also important was his time at the Hoover Institute and Library where he was able to gather material about the 1917 February Revolution for his The Red Wheel. Finally, Solzhenitsyn went to speak in Washington D.C. and New York to denounce the Soviet Union; however, soon after he became disillusioned about the power of his speeches – and the power of literature – to persuade the West of the existential threat that Soviet communism posed.
Chapter four, "At Five Brooks," continues Solzhenitsyn's research at the Hoover Institute and the building of his new home in Five Brooks, Vermont where he could now write The Red Wheel and continue his work for the Russian Social Fund. However, a tax matter arose with the Russian Social Fund between the American and Swiss governments, where all the funds were considered personal income and subject to taxation. This event lead to Solzhenitsyn to write about the situation:
"I was feeling smothered, bewildered: how were we to live in the West? The millstone of the KGB had never tired of crushing me. I was used to that, but now a second millstone, the millstone of the West, was descending upon me to grind me all over again (and not for the first time) . . . How well the millstones of the East and West were grinding together!" (264; 266).
With new legal representation, the tax matter was eventually resolved, although Solzhenitsyn's reputation became sullied by the media due to this affair.
Solzhenitsyn's reputation would further be impaired by his 1978 commencement address at Harvard, "A World Split Apart," that criticized the West for neglecting the spiritual foundations of its civilization since the Enlightenment with its substitution of legal for moral principles. Solzhenitsyn is shocked at the attacks in the media about his speech for not only missing his main point but fabricating things that simply did not exist in the speech. But over time voices emerged that were markedly different from the "arrogant stance of America of New York and Washington" and that understood the message in Solzhenitsyn's speech, giving him hope:
"Gradually another America began unfolding before my eyes, one that was small-town and robust, the heartland, the America I had envisioned as I was writing my speech and to which my speech was addressed. I now felt a glimmer of hope that I could connect with this America, warn it of what we had experienced, and perhaps even lead it to change direction" (291).
The book's final chapter is entitled, "Through the Fumes," retells Solzhenitsyn's dealing with the KGB and its puppets, like Tomas Řezác, who denounced Solzhenitsyn as an informer and slandered other dissents and emigres. Solzhenitsyn methodically reviews the charges and rebuts them in this account. In doing so it shows the extent and venality that the KGB employed in attempting to discredit those who disagreed with Soviet ideology.
Between Two Milestones is a testament not only to the courage and clear-sightedness of Solzhenitsyn but also to the evils of the Soviet Union and the pathologies that still plague the West. For those who wish to know about the man and his writing, this book is a critical book to consult and read. Insightful, surprisingly humorous at places, and always focused on those things that make life worth living – family, God, culture, and one's own country – Between Two Milestones illuminates the struggles one faces when living in the West and what one can make of it in this free but empty civilization.

We have used Budget several times, and they accept a debit card not just a credit card. which is easier for a lot of people. as not everyone has a credit card, and as long as there is enough money in the account for the holding deposit i don't see why this is a problem with other car rental companies.

Great car, very good customer service, easy drop off. Only issue was a little bit of fussing over the pick-up. Took nearly an hour to get car. However, staff were always communicating and positive. I just arrived at a very busy time.

Whether hereditary or due to a medical condition or medication, hair loss is extremely common. Affecting both men and women, hair loss can reduce confidence and become a real problem for many people.
Luckily, here at A New You, we offer a range of expert treatments and advice to help you combat hair loss – some offering effective alternatives to surgery.
Hair Transplant
A revolutionary technique that allows your hair to grow back naturally, expert surgeons are able to replace lost hair to result in natural-looking, authentic growth.
Suitable for those who suffer permanent, severe hair loss or who've tried non-surgical treatments and not achieved the desired effect, hair transplant surgery can be discussed with you upon your initial consultation.
A proven fat removal technique, mesotherapy involves application of multiple pharmaceutical injections. Able to reduce the appearance of cellulite and small areas of concentrated fat, unwanted fat cells are disintegrated and disposed of by the body.
Whilst this is typically the most common use for mesotherapy, this treatment can also be used to stimulate natural hair growth and prevent further hair loss – without undergoing invasive surgery.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Commonly shortened to PRP, this treatment utilises your very own growth factors, re-targets them to a specific area of concern, and encourages repair and regeneration. This reignites dormant hair follicles to stimulate new, natural hair growth.
Platelets from your blood will be used, meaning there's virtually no chance of an allergic reaction. Long-lasting effects can be achieved with this method, and it can also be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
If you're interested in learning more about our range of effective hair loss treatments, contact us today to book your free consultation with one of our professionals. All options will be discussed with you to develop a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Thailand is the country in Southeast Asia most visited by tourists, and for good reason. You can find almost anything here: thick jungle as green as can be, crystal blue waters that feel more like a warm bath than a swim in the ocean, and food that can curl your nose hairs while dancing across your taste buds. Exotic, yet safe; cheap, yet equipped with every modern amenity you need, there is something for every interest and every price bracket, from beach front backpacker bungalows to some of the best luxury hotels in the world. And despite the heavy flow of tourism, Thailand retains its quintessential Thai-ness, with a culture and history all its own and a carefree people famed for their smiles and their fun-seeking sanuk lifestyle. Many travellers come to Thailand and extend their stay well beyond their original plans and others never find a reason to leave. Whatever your cup of tea, they know how to make it in Thailand.

Nutrients That Are Good for Your Heart
A diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, usually hypertension (high blood pressure) ordyslipidemia (elevated cholesterol and lipids), often marks the beginning of multiplemedication therapy. A multiple medication regimen not only can be difficult and expensive to maintain, but quite often brings on drug-induced nutrient depletions due to actions of the medications used.
However, before looking at nutritional supplements, we need to look at lifestyle changes. Poor diet with too much hydrogenated fat from processed foods, or too little essential fatty acids, can bring about cardiovascular disease. Daily exercise is essential to help protect the heart and prevent cardiovascular disease. Minimizing stress and good weight management are also critical to good heart health. Once cardiovascular disease has been diagnosed, lifestyle and diet changes are absolutely critical to minimize medication reliance.

Organic-Linen Boxy V-Neck Sweater is rated out of 5 by 41.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shell25 from Great style! This top is so flattering! I just love it, purchased in two colors and really hope GH makes other colors available in this style. Purchased in size Medium and very happy with the fit. It will look really large when you take out of packaging but it hangs beautifully and covers up all kinds of possible problem areas...

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyMD from Comfortable and Stylish I got this one because I consider it the summer version of my favorite Garnet Hill Oversized cashmere sweater with the V-neck. I got the pink/lilac one. It is not disappointing as it is beautiful and relaxing. Too bad that most of the colors have gone. Please make this again and make more spring/summer colors available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by comfort first from Love these sweaters I was so excited to see that black was available this year. I should get a bulk discount on these sweaters -- I have two each in four colors! They are great with a cami underneath (they're a bit thin), though I've worn the darker colors without one. In the Washington DC area, they work year round with varied layers. Two cautions: They are on the fragile side: pulls can turn into tears (though I've successfully repaired them with judicious stitching). They are also easily pulled out of shape during washing. After experimentation I wash mine on the gentle setting in a lingerie bag, then drape it over a chair (trash bags work well to protect the seat back). I like my sweaters big so the slight distortion isn't particularly obvious. For the record, I tried washing by hand and found it still went cattywampus. I've had some of my sweaters for three years and they're still going strong. Take a little care with them and they'll be a great investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SusannahMac from Dress it up or down I bought one then I bought another. Really versatile. Took both to Paris last summer bc they were so elegant yet casual — and cool in the heat. Needs a cami or something underneath for sure. Always felt well dressed city or country in France. Plus it was great in Venice in the fall.
