Summer is rolling around and every girl wants to achieve the appearance of a bronzed glowing goddess (wishful thinking in this poop weather). I find that in summer I prefer to wear a much lighter foundation that what I would wear in winter. In winter I want to hibernate and protect my poor cold weather abused face. In summer I prefer to use a tinted moisturiser where I can let my skin breathe.
A great foundation I have found for summer is the Dermalogica Treatment Foundation.
This foundation is amazing for those with oily/break out prone skin. It is a lightweight, oil-free, water based liquid make-up that is non-comedogenic and formulated without artificial colours or fragrances.
It offers a great level of coverage, whilst moisturising and protecting the skin.
Personally I love it. Rather than clogging your skin with a foundation, this is more of a treat for your skin and is basically skincare disguised as make up. It can be used either to provide a flawless coverage, or as a sheer tinted moisturiser. I use it when my skin is playing up to get it back to normal, and also in summer when I want to protect and moisturise my skin due to the sun.
Whenever I have used this foundation in the past I have gotten great compliments that my skin is glowing and looking very healthy, so I would definitely recommend it.
Recently I found out on Twitter that Louise Thompson from Made in Chelsea is also a fan of this product, who always looks beaut!
Some downfalls of the product are that it is not very long lasting, it rubs off easily and if you get it wet it is a gonner!
It is quite a pricey foundation, I usually get it off of www.beautyflash.co.uk for 24.99. Its a good site as its 5.00 cheaper than the RRP and they also give you free samples of Dermalogica with your purchase- good times!
I usually get the colour 1G. I hope you guys find this post useful!
Are there any summer foundations you would recommend?
Lots of love,

vol. 45.
ex-convicts more severely for the same offenses than it does those not theretofore convicted of a felony, and is within the prohibition of the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution, which declares no state shall "deny to any person the equal protection of the laws." This statute does not deny the petitioner the equal protection of the laws, within the meaningof this amendment. Every other person as he has been would be subject to the like punishment as that he has received. This is all the amendm!lnt means. Thus the supreme court has decided that an Alabama statute which prohibited a white person and a negro living togetheriu adulteryis not in conflict with this amendment, although it prescribed penalties more severe than those to which parties would be subject were they of the same race and color. Pace v. Alabama, 10611. S. 583, 1 Sup. Ct. Rep. 637. The court said: "The punishment of such offending persons, whether white or black, is the same." The court said in another case, in discussing the fourteenth amendment: "It has respect to personsand classes of persons. It means that no person or class of persons shall be denied the same protection of the law-swhich is enjoyed by other persons or other classes in the same place, and under like circumstances." Missouri v. Lewis, 101 U. S. 31The petition is not sufficient in its allegations to entitle the petitioner to a writ of habell8 corpus, and the writ should be denied, and it is so ordered.
Oourt, E. D. Wisconsin. March 28, 1891.)
OB8CENB PoBLICATION8-!NDICTMENT-DEMUBRER.
Though a defendant, under indictment for sending obscene matter through the mails; is' not entitled, as under the English practice, W take the opinion o,fthe i:Jourt by demurrer whetber set forth was, or was not obscene, it is proper for the court to construe the document, and decide whether a verdict establishing its obscenity would be set aside as against evidence IIIld reason.
A pamphlet purporting to be a printed medical treatise touching certain foul private'diseases and their cure, and a list of 12() printed questions touching some 7 private diseases to be answered by anyone afflicted with such disorders, after reading ,the pamphlet, tho1,lgh without illustration, and expressed in cleah and wholesome language, if intended for promiscuous circulation through the,mails, are obscene publications within Rev. St. U. s. § 8893, as amended by 25 St. 496.
Such publications will not, because of their character, be considered privileged communications by a physician to a patient, in the absence of a showing that the defendant is a physician, and that the persons to whom they wel'e addressed' were his patients.
IndictmenHor Violation.of Postal Law. Elihu Ooliman; U. S.Dist.Atty. J. V. Quarles, for defendant.
JENKINS, J. The defendant demurs to an indictment preferred under Rev. St., § 3893, as amended by 26 St. 496. 'fhe indictment contains
two connt!!; the first charging that the defendant knowingly deposited in a certain post-office, mailing and delivery, an obscene, lewd, and lascivious pamphlet, entitled" A Monitor for Meh,"a copy of which is attached to the indictment. The second count embraces a similar charg(· rer>pecting a paper entitled "Questions for Men Only," also attached to the indictment. It is insisted that neither of these documents is obscene within the meaning of the statute. The pamphlet set forth in the first count of the indictment purports to be a printed medical treatise touch ing certain foul .private diseases, and their cure, issued by one "Gun Wa," claiming to be a "Chinesegraduate of botany." The introduction states that it is presented for the consideration of the American public, and -. to be intended for promiscuous circulation. The document embraced within the second count of the indictment purports to be issued by Wa, Chinese Physician," and consists of 120 printed questions, touching some 7 private diseases. They are to be answered by anyone afflicted with any of such disorders, after he shall have read the pamphlet set forth in the first count·. It was claimed at the argument, and conceded by the attorney for the government,that the defendant is entitled to take the opinion of the court by demurrer whether the matter set forth was or was not obscene. That would seem to be the rule in England, but is one not followed in this country. Ordinarily it is a question for the determination of a jury. But it is -within the province of the court to construe the objectionable document so far as necessary to decide whether a verdict establishing its obscenity would be set aside as against evidence and reason. U. S. v. Bennett. 16 Blatchf. 338; U. S. v. Clarke, 38 Fed. Rep. 500. The test was laid down by Chief Justice CoCKBURN in Reg. v. Hi£klin, L. R. 3 Q. B. 360: Is the tendency of the matter charged as obscene to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences, and into Whose hands a publication of this sort may fall? That test is applied to the statute under which this indictment is framed. U. S. v. Bennett, suprajU. S.v. Wightman, 29 Fed. Rep. 636; U. S. v. Bebout, 28 Fed. Rep. 522. The purpose of the .statute was to purge the mails. Congress, possessing the power of exclusion, declines to permit the mail to become a vehicle for the transmission and circulation of mental filth. To that end tllestatute should receive a liberal interpretation, consistently with recognized rules of construction. The words "obscene," and "lascivious." as employed in the statute, are not used interchangeably. "Obscene" has a broader signification than "lascivious," comprehending whatever is impure, unclean, indecent, foul, filthy, or disgusting. It is said of this pamphlet that it is a medical treatise without illustration, and, with a possible exception, expressed in clean and wholesome language. In an able argument the counsel for the defendant asserted that it was the highest duty to instruct the youth in the anatomy of the human body, and the law of its nature, warning them of the grievous results flowing from infraction of such law; and that a work upon such a subject, devoid of filthy language, cannot properly be classed as obscene. Whether act or language is obscene depends upon
. "The p'Utilicexposure of thepevsoni is! most obscene" yet [the 'ofJthepersonto it is not only innocent, "but is' a; dictated by positIve duty... ,Instruction touching the organa (:)f the body, 'under proper -circumstances, is not reprehensible; hut Buch instruction to a: ,mixed assemblage of the youth of both sqxes might be 'most demoralizing. The condition determines the quality .of the act. Thus the nude in art is not of necessity indecent, but it may be soconditionad as tacoma under the ban of condemnation. Here is a 'publication touching certain loathsome diseases of the generative organs. Such a document, intended for general circulation, liable to fall into the hands. of the immature,imight well be deemed corrupting. It is of no consequenee that the language employed may be pure. The law has relation as well to the subject as to its dress. Both the subject and its treatment must be free from obscenity; The most debasing topic may he presented in the choicest language. In such garb it is the more dangerQus., Impure suggestion. clothed in pleasing attire allures and eorrupts, when bald filth would disgust and repel. It is claimed for that they were addressed by a physician to a patient, and therefore privileged. I cannot doubt that proper and necessary communication between physician and patient touching any disease may properly be deposited in the mail. The statute is not to receive a strained construction. It is aImed at the obscene. It was not enacted in the interest of the prude. .But can these publications be properly so classified? There is nothing upon the face of this indictment connecting the defendant with "Gun Wa," the "Chinese graduate of botany,"-whatever that may mean. The court ca.nnot take judicial cognizance of the fact-if it bea fact-that "Gun Wa," is the Chinese synonym for "Smith." Nothing appears to indicate that the .defendant was a physician, or that the person to whom these publications were addressed was his patient. So Jar as the record discloses, he was a mere volunteer, sending this unsavory literature through the mails. If, as was assumed, the. defendant was in fact "Gun Wa," using that designation as a trap in which to catch the ignorant and the credulous, he was then a mere charlatan, circulating promiscuously these publications upon subjects that I1refou1, unleSs purged of obscenity by conditions. rendering their \lse proper. ' It cannot be said that under any circumstanceSQ' verdict declaring· these documents obscene would be contrary to reason and commonsense. To the contrary, it must be said that they are 'manifestly foul unless the occasion and condition of their employment should justify. their use; and that must he determined by a jury. The demurrer is overruled.
M'CULLO}{' C/. AsSOCL\TIONHORLOGERE SUISSE.
v. :AssoClATION HORLOGERE ,SV1SSE
et al.
(Circuit qourt, S.: D. New York. March 14,1891.)
PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS-INSOLVENOy-RtGHTS OF RIlOErVlIB;··
Though it be conceded that under Rev. St. U. S. § 4898, the legal title to patents does not pass to the receiver of an insolvent debtor, the receiver of a dissolved corporation. which was the equitable owner of patents, may maintain a suit to compel the holder of the legal title to convey to him.
In Equity. Antonio Knauth, for complainant. John H. Kitchen, for defendants.
J. This bill is' brought to set aside certain assignments of W patents nll1qe by the dlilfendant Pailard to the defendant the Horlogere:Suisse, and to compel the last-named defendant to assign the patents to the complainant, the averments of the bill being that the assignments were made in fraud of the rights of the Non-Magnetic Watch Company, as equitable owner of the patents. It appears by the bill that the Non-Magnetic Watch Company was dissolved as a corporation, and the complainant was appointed receiver, by a decree of the supreme court of this state, and that by force of the decree,and the statute upon which it proceeded, the complainant, as receiver, became vested with all the estate, .real and personal, 'of the dissolved oorporation, including its· property in the inventions described in the several letters patent. The defendants have demurred to the bill, and insist by their demurrer that the complainant cannot maintain the action, because it does not appear that there has ever been any assignment to the complainant of the patents by the Non-Magnetic Watch Company. His argued in support of the demurrer that no interest can be acquired in letters patent except by an instrument in writing, under section 4898 of the Revised and in support of this contention the cases Statutes of the are cited which hold that the legaltiUe to a patent does not. pass by a sale of the patent upon an execution against the owner, or to his assignee in .insolveney by an .assignment. of his property by the. court, or by a general assignment of all his. property to a trustee for the benefit of creditors, or by the appointment of a receiver of the. estate of an insolvent debtor·. For .the purposes of an action like the present,it is quite immaterial whether the complainant acquired or did not acquire the legal title to the patentl! in suit.. If he did not, inasmuch as the corporation became extinct by its dissolution when he was appointed its receiver, no one else can acquire legal title, and for all practical' purposes any· title which did not vest in the complainant is extinguished. But the Mmplainant acquired all the equities of the dissolved corporation. That being so, he can maintain anactiQn against one having the. legal title to. the patent, in which it is alleged that the title of the defendant is subordinate in equity to the title of the complainant, and in· which the relief BOught is to compel the defendant to execute a conveyance of the patents.

TOKYO (Reuters) - A North Korean cargo vessel carrying rice sank off the west coast of Japan's westernmost major island of Kyushu on Thursday after springing a leak, but all 26 crew members were rescued without sustaining injuries, Japan's coastguard said.
It has not been decided how to send the crew, all of them North Koreans, to their home country, a coastguard official said, adding that they were in good condition.
Japan's ties with North Korea have long been strained due to the abduction of Japanese citizens by North Korean agents decades ago and Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programs.

The Japanese coastguard is treating the incident as a straightforward shipwreck case and there were no signs of abnormalities, the official said.
The cargo ship was carrying 5,720 tonnes of rice from North Korea's west coast city of Nampo to Wonsan on the east coast, the Japanese coastguard said.

U.S. Marine Corps Opens Doors Wide for Homeschool Graduates
The U.S. Marine Corps has joined the U.S. Army in actively pursuing homeschooled students. A recent statement from the Marine Corps Recruiting Command Public Affairs Chief makes it clear that homeschoolers are eligible to enlist in all military programs, the same as a graduate from public school.
Furthermore, the Marine Corps has given homeschooled enlistees Tier I status in its internal ranking. This ensures that homeschoolers will receive any applicable enlistment bonuses.
Home School Legal Defense Association remains committed to ensuring that homeschoolers are fully able to enlist in any military program, and salutes the United States Marine Corps for recognizing the achievements of homeschooled graduates.
Details are outlined in the following news release from the Marines.

Myth 2The Marine Corps will only enlist a specific number of homeschool graduates each year.
Fact 2There is no practical limit on the number of homeschool graduates who can enlist into the Marine Corps each year.
Each year, approximately 40,000 young men and women ship to Marine Corps recruit training and go through the 13 weeks of grueling training that tests their honor, courage, and commitment each and every day. Once they complete the training and earn the title Marine, they have the self-respect, pride, confidence, and leadership skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately, less than 1% of those future Marines are homeschool graduates. In fact, during 2006 only 209 enlistees with a homeschool diploma shipped to Marine Corps recruit training.
It is a challenge for Marine recruiters to present the opportunities available in the Marine Corps to homeschool students. There is no school campus to visit or public roster of homeschool student names that recruiters have access to.
Its not that our recruiters arent interested in homeschool students, said Master Gunnery Sgt. Patrick S. Arbec, Operations Chief, Marine Corps Recruiting Command, Quantico, VA. If they don't come to us for information or if one of our recruiters doesnt run into them in the local communitywe dont have a chance to present our opportunities to them.
Homeschool graduates are afforded the same opportunity to enlist as graduates from public and private schools. They can sign up for all enlistment programs, as long as they are mentally, morally, and physically qualified for enlistment and score appropriately on the required Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery Test (ASVAB). And they can often receive an enlistment bonus.
We have recruiters in every community across the nation, whose sole mission is to screen potential applicants and present the opportunities available in the Marine Corps to interested individuals, said Arbec, who has been a Marine recruiter for more than 20 years. Marine Corps standards are very stringent and we have a very effective and comprehensive screening process because we want to ensure we are sending the most qualified individuals to recruit training.
All applicants attempting to enlist into the Marine Corps are required to go through the detailed recruiter screening process and a thorough medical examination at a Military Entrance Processing Station.
There are no unique restrictions that apply to homeschool applicants who have a diploma, or are currently enrolled in a homeschool program and are expected to complete the curriculum and attain a diploma. Just like high school seniors in the public education system, 17-year-old homeschool students in their final year of school can enlist in the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program (DEP) with parental consent. These applicants still must receive their diploma prior to shipping to recruit training.
The purpose of the Marine Corps DEP is to prepare applicants for recruit training. Marine recruiters assist applicants with physical conditioning, they teach the basic customs, courtesies and traditions of the Corps, and they prepare applicants for the mental and physical challenges that lie ahead.
If you are up to the challenge, are a home school graduate, or will graduate this year and would like to learn more about opportunities in the Marine Corps, visit your local Marine recruiter, call 1-800-Marines, or visit

text: November 08, 2016 Vote like their future depends on it - because it does Author: Clarisse Banks Source: NYSUT Communications NYSUT VOTER GUIDE. Do the right thing when you go to the polls today. Support NYSUT-endorsed candidates. SEARCH ENDORSEMENTS. Find NYSUT-endorsed candidates in your district. FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE. Where to go on Election Day. I must admit, at this point, I'm experiencing a bit of election fatigue. I've listened through three presidential debates, one debate of the candidates for vice president and countless hours of cable news pundits dissecting every single word uttered in said debates. I've easily read millions of words of editorial copy regarding the elections — local, statewide and national. Don't forget all of the commercials and other paid advertisements touting one candidate or tearing down another. With that said, it's easy to feel overwhelmed or to want to tune everything out. It's easy to get caught up in conversations about personality, likeability or things that have nothing to do with what really matters. But, when I'm ready to throw my hands up, I look at my screen saver and immediately everything is clear. I look at the faces of my daughters — my future — and I know my vote is about much more than me. It's about a country where they have access to the very best public education can offer. It's about a nation where they have access to affordable health care — and where they can make decisions about their health care without fear of punishment. It's about an America where they have the right to vote, free from intimidation. My VOTE is about schools where my daughters can drink from a water fountain and not worry about getting sick, where the roads their school buses travel on five days a week are safe. It's about a guarantee of equal pay for equal work. And it's about a country where, once they've put in years of working, the earned benefits they were promised are available for them. When you cast your ballot today — and I urge you all to VOTE — think about what's important to your family, your neighborhood, your community, our state and our country. If you need a few more reasons, NYSUT shares the top 8 reasons to VOTE today: 8. Your constitutional rights depend on it. 7. Public education for all depends on it. 6. Safe bridges, roads and public water depend on it. 5. An economy that works for everyone depends on it. 4. Your labor rights depend on it. 3. Your retirement security depends on it. 2. Your right to make personal health care choices depends on it. 1. Your future depends on it. In case you were wondering, NYSUT has endorsed a roster of Republicans and Democrats who share the union's commitment to public education, health care, retirement security, the right to bargain collectively and a strong middle class. For more information on union-endorsed candidates, check out NYSUT's Voter Guide. Clarisse Butler Banks is NYSUT United's copy desk chief. This piece was originally posted on the NYSUT blog at blogs.nysut.org.

I despise people who contradict Valentine's Day.
Most people say it is just fluff. The whole dozens of flowers, life-sized teddy bears and heart shaped chocolates are just us buying into the whole commercial worth of Valentine's Day. And yes to a certain extend we are getting sucked into this but what's wrong with sepnding a little for the person you love? On the contrary you could go the traditional way by writing a letter or cooking for a candle light dinner. Doesn't hurt you pocket as much right? And way more meaningful if you ask me.
Another thing that also got to me was the whole "forever alone" trend. Valentine's day is NOT about having a boyfriend or girlfriend. It's about celebrating love with the people you love – friends, family or even your pet. Have a dinner date with your mum or a mushy romantic movie marathon with your girlfriends, it's not about what you do but who you are doing it with.
You might wonder why am I so persistent about this. It's simple. I just feel like people don't show their love anymore. Why not celebrate love on a daily basis then you may ask? Well, ask yourself that. When was the last time you said I love you to your mum or your friend? I bet a lot of people don't, even I don't. And you are telling me to not celebrate the one day that most people express their love? It may be one day out of 365 days but it's better than just not expressing it at all.
My whole point here is that it doesn't matter how you celebrate Valentine's Day. What really matters is showing the people you love that you love and appreciate them. As God said in1 Corintians 13 : 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. So go out and have fun with your other halfs, friends and families. Do something cliché or unique. Spread the love!

BUMFILTER formed 5 years ago at 2 in the morning by Ryan Vee and Jason Cee as an acoustic 2 piece from North Dakota. They played a handful of shows and countless basements since 2005. until one day the 2 packed up shop and moved it down to Minneapolis, pulled a Bob Dylan and went electric. Thats when everything changed for them. Sam D from Dingus, and Dan H.C. from the Hardcore Crayons joined forces and formed a new and improved BUMFILTER.

1999 Kaesler Stonehorse Shiraz
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Closure: Cork
The Kaesler Vineyards were established in 1893 in the Barossa Valley on a sixty acre allotment. Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro and White Hermitage vines were planted. The Stonehorse shiraz is matured in oak which is at least five years old, consequently emphasising the fruit qualities of the wine rather than the oak itself. Cropping levels are around 3 - 3.5 tonnes per acre.
A generous, full bodied Barossa red which has been matured in old oak in order to minimise oak influence. Very deep crimson mauve colour. Aroma of plum, spice and blackpepper. Mouthfilling palate, generous ripe fruit flavours of plum, spice and liquorice. Fine grained, dusty tannins, followed by an aftertaste that is very long and gains intensity to reveal distinct blackpepper character.

by improving education and training
of public health professionals
for both practice and research
The Association of Schools of Publich Health in the European Region (ASPHER)ASPHER is the key independent European organisation dedicated to strengthening the role of public health by improving education and training of public health professionals for both practice and research.
The Institute of Public Health, University of Porto October Newsletter
ASPHER's Autumn 2018 Newsletter and message from the Secretariat
Chair: Katarzyna Czabanowska (email@example.com)
Past Chairs:
Yehuda Naumark (2014-2015)
Vesna Bjegovic-Mikanovic (2011-2013) - Reports
[ASPHER 2020 Implementation of the Strategic Objective 1]
Improving quality of academic programmes and CPD for public health
1.1. Promote harmonization of high quality education and training for public health: develop and pilot model curricula, advocate and implement as standard for all European schools of public health, and evaluate public health education and training programmes at all three Bologna levels;
1.2. Enhance continuing professional development (CPD) through blended learning modules offered to all public health professionals by the European school of public health (business model of excellence);
1.3. Increase mobility in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and develop joint models for education and training together with the exchange of best practices.
1.1. In order to improve the quality of the academic programmes on the Bachelor, Master and Postgraduate level, it is proposed to assume the identification of and exchange of good practices approach. What does it mean in practice?
A special platform will be developed on the ASPHER web page where the specific Bachelor and Master of Public Health programmes curricula will be presented by the Schools and Departments of Public Health affiliated with ASPHER. Specific criteria will be developed by ASPHER Working Group on Education and Good Practice together with APHEA to guide the programme leaders in the expectations related to good practice exchange. We will look for the programmes which among others: are fully taught in English or at least parts of them, comply with the Structural Indicators for Monitoring Education and Training Systems in Europe developed by the European Commission /EACEA/Eurydice data collection 2015 (Structural Indicators for Training Systems in Europe Eurydice Background Report to the Education and Training Monitor 2015), follow the ASPHER Public Health Competencies Scheme, include innovative student cantered methodologies and many other criteria developed by the WG and APHEA.
The interested Schools and Departments of Public Health will be able to share and exchange practices. Every year or every two years ASPHER will select the good practice example from among the programmes on Bachelor and Master level which will be displayed on the platform and award will be presented during yearly D&D retreat as a result of the competition.
1.2. The enhancement of the CPD modules will be achieved by encouraging the Schools and Departments of Public Health affiliated with ASPHER to share with ASPHER short courses, modules or training sessions which are in English and which can serve as an independent product which can be subject to open enrolment facilitated by ASPHER. These should be the so called star courses which would fill the gap at the PH CPD market. In this way ASPHER will be able to pool the best products and support business cases with relevant schools. Every 2-3 years the demand/ need analysis can be performed based on the competency model identifying gaps in knowledge and skills among PH professionals. Such an approach will contribute to building the PH CPD field as opposed to its current fragmentation and lack of integration.
1.3. It is proposed that ASPHER will encourage and promote through the good practice exchange as mentioned in 1.1. signing of Erasmus Mobility exchange contracts between the Schools and Departments of Public Health facilitating the exchange of students and staff within the three educational cycles depending on the programmes of interest and need for mutual learning or development. The schools or Institutes which are affiliated with ASPHER can also provide internship possibilities which are also covered by the Erasmus mobility scheme.

Search the UMP Preferred Drug List
Use the UMP Preferred Drug List (PDL) to find:
- The tier of a drug
- Whether a drug is a specialty drug
- If a drug requires preauthorization or is subject to other limits
- If a drug has less expensive alternatives
The UMP PDL may be updated at any time. Changes are posted online at least once a month.
Be sure to check the tier of a drug before you fill a prescription, especially for a new drug, by using the UMP PDL or by calling Washington State Rx Services at 1-888-361-1611.
Not all drugs are listed in the UMP PDL. If your drug isn't listed, call 1-888-361-1611.
Other prescription drug tools
Use the Prescription Price Check tool to see how much you'll pay for covered prescription drugs.
Log in to your pharmacy account to check how much you've paid of your prescription drug deductible and find your claims history.
How does UMP decide which drugs are preferred?
As a state-sponsored health plan, UMP must follow coverage decisions made by the Washington State Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee (P&T Committee), which consists of Washington health care professionals, including physicians and pharmacists. The UMP Preferred Drug List includes these coverage recommendations.
Not all drug classes are reviewed by the Washington State P&T Committee. For these drugs, the Washington State Rx Services P&T Committee makes coverage recommendations for UMP's review and final determination of a drug's tier level.
For the plan to approve a drug for you, it must be medically necessary for your health condition. Your provider may prescribe a drug or drug dose that is not medically necessary.
For more information on the P&T Committee, see the Prescription Drug Program's webpages.

Getting Excited!
I posted this picture on FB today as I was getting my new digs all set-up. Sometime next week, I'll hopefully have a "proper" room unveiling. For right now, things are going okay. None of my stuff has been moved from my old classroom yet, so I'm kinda stressy right now... nothing a few
So, I've got a new product to share with you. For the record, I really don't like to make a product the subject of a blog post, so please see the above picture and blurb and pretend that my Chinese lantern and picture are the real focus here :) Now, let me bring your attention to this:
This is my new Reader's Response Journal for the upper grades and I'm in love with it!! First a little back story... So, I love to incorporate reader's workshop into my day. I did it for YEARS!! Each month, students would self-select a book (a "Just Right" book if you've read Fountas and Pinnell!). Then, every day after recess, we'd read silently for 15 minutes. And then twice a week, students would write in their Reader's Response Journal (a marble copybook) and tell me about their book.
Anyway, as our curriculum changed over the years, Reader's Workshop was slowly edged out of my day. Last year, I didn't do it at all :(
Well, this year, with my new move to 7th grade, comes a fresh start... and a longer ELA block!! Sixteen minutes longer to be exact! Just enough time for reader's workshop!
I'm so excited to get back into it! There is nothing I love more than a dead-silent classroom filled with kids reading all over the place. It just makes my heart swoon!
But, since I have a lot more students then I am used to having in the past, I knew there was no way I was going to carry all those marble copybooks home! Enter this Reader's Response Journal! In the past, I've had students make little booklets like this for writing and in their ISNs. They are a breeze to make and super portable. I can't believe I never thought of using one of these for reader's workshop!
So, you print this puppy out and then fold and staple it into a little booklet.
Inside is room for ten entries (summary + a literary analysis question), and then one final prompt after students finish the book. It's perfect because it fits right into students' fancy-schmancy gallon storage bags that they use to transport their books to and from school.
I love it! No more bulky notebooks! I am so excited to have students make these and get them reading self-selected books, again :)
So, do you incorporate reader's workshop into your day? Any helpful tips or strategies you can share? I'd love to hear from you!!
Happy Teaching!!

Teaching Writing: the 4-1-1 (video post!)
So, you have to teach writing, huh? Or maybe you already teach writing and you're looking for some fresh insight? Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is the blog post for you!
I've compiled a video post all about how I teach writing in my middle school classroom. This video was a beast, but it's finally finished!
I've had so many emails and questions about how I teach writing, that I thought I'd compile it all into a video. It's loooong, but I had so much to say!
I'd love to hear your thoughts:

Practicing What You Pin: A Game-Changer for Organization!
So, when I pinned this image from Brooke Brown's blog, Teaching Outside the Box, I was so confident that it would change everything about my lesson planning storage, that I IMMEDIATELY ordered a case of these boxes from Amazon!
Ladies and Gentleman... this may very well be one of the best organizational strategies that I've come across and it is going to be a GAME CHANGER for me!! You see, I hate file folders... mostly because I can't stand those stupid little plastic tabs they have because they always snap off whenever I open my filing cabinet. And then, there is the issue that when the file gets too "fat," with mentor texts or task card sets that I need to STORE WITH THE LESSON, LEST I FORGET ALL ABOUT THEM OR CANNOT FIND THEM FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR (just me?!?), it starts to roll up which messes with my stored documents.
And I hate binders because I refuse to put holes in my fancy documents, like my anchor posters. So, that means I need those slippery clear page protector thingys, which always seem like a great idea, but I've found that they are actually one of those things that are much better in theory than practice! You see, while I may initially set my binder up, all organized-like with all my lesson's documents neatly encased in glossy splendor, I NEVER, and I mean EVER, put stuff back in those correctly because, well-ain't nobody got time for that!-so all my stuff winds up getting tossed into the binder, willy-nilly-like, and gets all squished around! And again, binders have no space for mentor texts or task cards that I use for a unit (because again, if I don't store those things with my lesson/unit plan, I will misplace them or forget all about them for the following year!)... so, basically, binders are worthless for me!
But these project cases?!? Genius, Brooke Brown!! Look at what I've done so far with my writing units:
Mentor texts and task cards fit right in the box!!
My anchor posters remain hole-less and squish-free!
I'm so stoked! I've already put an order in for another case of cases. Game changer for sure!!
What is your method for lesson storage/organization. I'd love to hear about it :)
Happy Teaching!!
P.S. The writing units you see in this post are available in my TpT store. Since I am moving from 6th grade to 7th grade, I've been working all summer to revamp my units. My plan is to teach three narrative units, three inform/explain units, and three argument units throughout the year (along with some writer's notebook stuff, some Flash Fiction, spooky stories for Halloween, a research paper, and a end-of-the year writing project). My hope is to post a video about my strategies for teaching writing in middle school, so stay tuned!! If you are interested in checking out some of my *new* writing units, here's what I've got so far (keep checking the store for the additional units, as I will be posting them as I finish them!)
Narrative Writing (Vol.1): Writing About Lessons Learned
Narrative Writing (Vol. 2): Writing About Memorable Places
Narrative Writing (Vol. 3) Writing About Special Treasures
Inform/Explain (Vol. 1): "And the Winner Is..."

It looks like several companies are learning what happens when you mess with the internet - and they're learning it the hard way. Several major companies have been hit by the collective powers of Anonymous after 4chan launched several distributed denial-of-service attacks. What many have been predicting for a long time now has finally happened: an actual war between the powers that be on one side, and the internet on the other. Update: PayPal has admitted their WikiLeaks snub came after pressure from the US government, and Datacell, which takes care of payments to Wikileaks, is threatening to sue MasterCard over Wikileaks' account suspension. Update II: Visa.com is down due to the attack. Update III: PayPal has caved under the pressure, and will release the funds in the WikiLeaks account.

Finally, if Wikileaks was making information transparent from all over the world, then I *may* feel a little bit more compassion towards them. But the fact that all they do is attack the U.S. just doesn't seem right. You can't say you are fighting for accountability and transparency and then attack only one entity. Otherwise, they are just a bully.
That's not true. Check all their published information, not just the most recent items.

Since its conception half a century ago, TIP has since grown as a well-known educational institute that caters to different disciplines. It serves as the foundation of fields which are conducive to the maximum economical and technological growth of the Philippines.
TIP Introduction
The Technological Institute of the Philippines was established with the goal of ameliorating the country's social and economic standards in partnership with the government, among basic goals. The institute's first campus was built in 1967 along G. Puyat Street, Quiapo, Manila. As its student population grew from 2,400 to 23,000, TIP acquired more properties to adjust to this growth.
Over the years, TIP has acquired sites along P. Casal and Arlegui, where more buildings could be accommodated. A second campus, now comprised of nine buildings, was established in Quezon City in 1983. Along with its physical growth, the institute has also grown in terms of its program offerings, scope, and reputation. Many changes in course offerings were made so as to allow the institute to keep up with the ever-dynamic needs of the Filipino youth.
According to studies made by Academic Clinic (under http://academic-clinic.com/category/top-schools), TIP shows excellence in Information Technology, Computer Engineering, and Civil Engineering (Quezon City campus). These studies were based on board exam passing rates and rankings given by the PRC, as well as statistics and data provided by CHED.
TIP Admission Requirements
To become eligible for admission, a student must fall under any of the following criteria:
1. Students who have completed Secondary Education in any DepEd-accredited high
school in the Philippines or abroad;
2. Foreign high school graduates;
3. Passers of the Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT); or
4. Passers of the Alternative Learning System (ALS).
TIP Application Requirements and Procedures
To apply for TIP, a student must submit the following:
1. Original Form 138 (for regular applicants); ALS Examinee Report Form (for ALS passers),
or; PEPT Certificate of Rating;
2. Four pieces of recent 2"x2" picture;
3. Photocopy of NSO birth certificate; and
4. Certificate of Good Moral Character.
There are additional requirements for passers of the ALS and the PEPT, foreign national, graduates of previous years, honor students, Filipino applicants from schools abroad, married female students, and Marine Engineering applicants. View these additional requirements at http://www.tip.edu.ph/admission.php?d=Req. Upon submitting these requirements, applicants will be asked to fill out forms for Admission and Pre-Registration.
Honor students or those with a GWA of no less than 80% are immediately qualified for admission and need not take the entrance exam. Those who do not qualify for a scholarship or discount under the system must take an entrance exam at the Guidance Center. Marine Engineering applicants must proceed to the school's Dental and Physical Service for a physical exam.
After taking the exam, proceed to the Registrar's Office for your admission slip, assessment of fees, and Registration card. You will then pay your fees at the Tellering Section, get your ID from the Office of Student Affairs, and get a Library Card from the library of your campus. You will be given a schedule for orientation at the Guidance and Counseling Center.
TIP Application and Entrance Exam Schedules
The offices of TIP are open on weekdays, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and application may be done anytime prior to the incoming AY. The entrance exam is given immediately upon submission of requirements.
Release of TIP Entrance Exam Results
The results are given immediately, and each degree program in TIP corresponds to its own entrance exam for scholarship purposes.
TIP Entrance Exam Coverage and Feedback
The TIP entrance exam is considered easy, but it is a little different from other entrance exams. Aside from covering the three core high school subjects (English, Mathematics and Science), the exam also covers History. Some students may struggle with History, but it is said that no one fails the entrance exam at TIP. There is no reward for complacency, however, so stay on your toes!

text: Ok, before you start loading thousands of proxies into your proxy manager, your going to want to make sute your settings are correct. So on the main page of Scrapebox, select Settings > Adjust Timeout Settings and change the Proxy Harvester Timeout to 60 Seconds, click Apply. Then select Settings > Adjust Maximum Connections and change Proxy Harvester to 100, click Apply. Now your ready to load up your proxy sources into ScrapeBox and start scanning for proxies. Download this text file, it contains the urls of 482 valid proxy sources. Each proxy source will contain anything between 10-30,000 individual proxies. *see note at bottom. Open the file, Select All and copy it to your clipboard. Now go the the Proxy management section of ScrapeBox. Click Harvest Proxies > Add Source > From the clipboard. If you already had lots of proxy sources in your Scrapebox then see my note at the bottom about easily managing duplicate sources. Click Start and your done. This list will find get you 339815 Proxies from that search. Now the first thing your going to want to do is remove duplicate proxies from your list. So click the "Cleanup" button in your proxy manager and select "Remove duplicate Proxies" Now you have 75109 proxies that either work or worked at some time recently. The next thing to do is to check them to find out how many are actually working. Dont go thinking that your going to end up with 50k proxies, cos that just never happens, chances are you will end up with between 500-1500 depending on your location. But this is the nature of proxies, some last for months, some only last for days. Now with those settings I gave you at the start of the thread, it should take about 6 hours to scan through with a good connection, so either do this while you sleep or while your out of the house doing stuff. Once the scan is complete, click Cleanup and Remove all failed proxies. *note - If you want to add more sources, go to pastebin.com and search for things like "proxy" & "proxies". Be aware that some low life is spamming pastebin with ****** links to bullshit proxie lists, so dont bother following any ****** links or anything that says "proxy list is at this url *spam link here*" Also, to check that you dont have any duplicate sources, go here and paste your newest proxy sources into that list along with the content from your original Scrapebox sources file, which is located in your ScrapeBox folder Scrapebox > Confirguration > userproxysources.txt (remember to make sure all your urls start http://example.com and not http://www.example.com - If you have a mixture of both, you wont remove all duplicates. You can do this in 1 click with the replace function in notepad.)

As usual when I am busy behind the screens, I am not so good about keeping up the posting. On the other hand lots of cool stuff gets done.
Still working on Greg P. Lee's T5 Cirque project and looking into getting myself all official and stuff. Which is going to take me offline again for a while, but I do have something for you. As part of my getting this squared away here, I got back on my artist/draftsman on the HMS Herald variants to make sure he was still up for it. Well not only is back on board, but he sent me a sample of the first bit of deckplan for the M/V Lion Rampant 2.
I thought I would share it with you all. Needless to say it is not much, I rotated it and it is a bit cropped for use on the internet so as not give it all away.
Well, I have to get back to the real world for a bit. I have to go and write up some more stuff for both the M/V Lion Rampant 2 and ISS Sable. Both a bit light compared to what I have for the Herald.
I hope you enjoyed this and once the Traveller5 Core Rules book is in my hands I suspect I will be a bit more productive.

Research scaling down climate change prediction down to city level could help prevent dire consequences of natural disasters
Making planning decisions about cities today means keeping an eye on climate change predictions. More flash floods are expected, for example. Thanks to a research project called SUDPLAN, planners can now navigate the future via a web-based interface. It projects climate scenario models down to street level, akin to modeling climate change in a teacup.
"You will be able to see things in 3-D," Lars Gidhagen tells youris.com. He is the coordinator of this EU funded project with the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), in Norrköping. "If you are looking at flooding on a street, you can look how it extends in relation to surrounding buildings." Four pilot cities are testing the tool: Wuppertal, Germany, for storm water floods, Stockholm, Sweden, and Prague, Czech Republic, for air quality and Linz, Austria, for water sewer systems.
"Wuppertal has severe problems with flooding, with floods flowing like rivers down the streets. They can use this simulation tool to see the measures taken to change the city's topography, perhaps building small-scale barriers on streets, and lifting pavements to prevent water entering houses" Gidhagen explains. The tool will be improved by adding in local historical data.
Handling the huge quantities of environmental data was a major challenge for the IT partners in the project. The scaling down from regional to street level requires lots of local high-resolution data for environmental parameters such as for temperature, rainfall, air pollutants and water run-off.
David Dodman of the International Institute for Environment and Development in London, UK, warns that a large spoonful of uncertainty is in the brew. "When you move from global climate models to regional models to more local projections, there is inherently a great deal of uncertainty," he explains. "We don't know what the future emissions scenarios are going to be, and we don't know how these scenarios are going to interact with the atmosphere. As you move to a more local scale those uncertainties become greater," he adds.
"The challenge now is how you simulate different sources of data and how you do a reality check on it before you use them in the model," comments Nigel Wright, water modelling expert at the University of Leeds, UK. Once you have the data, you can take measures to boost your resilience. For example, "you might look at having car parks in basements, and you move your car when there is a flood warning. The basement floods and you use the car park again when it subsides," Wright says.
Yet, concrete measures for climate change prevention are few and far between. "At this moment the most advanced cities in Europe are investigating their vulnerability to climate change, and apart from a few exceptions adaptation measures are not widely applied yet," says Peter Bosch, project manager in climate change mitigation and adaptation at the Dutch research organization TNO, based in Utrecht. "From our research in the Netherlands, in the Climate Proof Cities project, it appears that urban vulnerability will increase under various climate scenarios," he adds, "To integrate adaptation measures in urban restructuring and renovation projects or greenfield developments now, will be more efficient than adapting later."

The Dangerous Bathroom Habit Experts Warn Against - How To Protect Yourself
by Michelle Shreeve 1/4/2017
When we think of what the dirtiest place in our house is, we usually think it is our bathroom. Surprisingly, the bathroom isn't ALWAYS the dirtiest place in the house. What makes it so dirty however, is what people do in the bathroom...
When we clean our bathrooms, we can sleep better at night knowing that we are safeguarding our family from getting sick, spreading germs, or bacteria throughout the rest of the house. We clean our bathrooms once or twice a week, which ensures we are eliminating bacteria and germs to the best of our ability. Yet, what if there are hidden factors that are keeping your bathroom a cesspool - all without your knowledge?
Here is a list of the most disgusting bathroom habits your family could be doing, that are not healthy by any means:
Bathtub - You have had a stressful week, and you can't wait to start a bubble bath when you get home. However, you haven't cleaned your bathtub in more than a month. Imagine all of the dirt, bacteria, warts on your husband's feet, or even grease that has touched that tub in the past month. That is what you are about to bathe in. Suddenly your nice warm bubble bath, is looking more like taking a soak in a swamp. Instead of taking a bacteria swim, clean your tub weekly.
Doorknobs - You probably remember wiping down the doorknobs in your bathrooms once a week when you clean the rest of your bathroom. Yet, you might want to start cleaning them more often than that. Imagine when someone opens the door to the bathroom. Their hands typically aren't clean and so they bring whatever bacteria they already have on them to the doorknob.
Then, think about people who don't always wash their hands after they use the bathroom. Now, their post-bathroom bacteria is back on the doorknob, waiting for the next person to touch it. It might be a good idea to sanitize doorknobs daily or even weekly.
Floor - By the time you need to clean your bathroom floor, you are probably exhausted and ready to be done cleaning for the day. How many times have you cleaned your bathroom, but skipped doing the floor out of laziness? Think about how many times your family members have gone to the bathroom with their bare feet, when the kids dragged dirt and mud from the backyard into the bathroom, and when your pet wandered in-and-out.
Germs are everywhere, and if you don't clean your floors, they become a breeding ground for bacteria to grow and flourish. Make sure you clean and sanitize your bathroom floor weekly to prevent further germs from spreading.
Loofahs - Make sure you aren't putting your family at risk with this dangerous (but often overlooked) bathroom mistake. Loofahs may make washing your body more convenient, as they can help get you lathered up with soap, but they are also breeding grounds for bacteria and germs to grow.
Once you wash yourself, it is best to rinse out the loofah. If you don't, or don't do it well, then the bacteria sits there, grows, accumulates, and adds when you go to use it again. You also should throw out your loofah every three months to be safe. Or just don't use one at all.
Razors - It makes sense to leave razors in the shower so they are always ready to use, however doing so can cause bacteria to grow on the razor. Not to mention, the moisture from the shower will cause the razor to rust, thus making you have to spend more money by getting a new one. When the bacteria grows on the razor, you are then reusing the contaminated razor on your skin. Instead, hang up your razor, or take it out of the shower after each use.
Shower Curtain - Shower curtains can really brighten up your bathroom, especially when the theme matches your style of bathroom décor. However, do you ever clean the curtain? Although it may sound strange, you should be regularly washing your shower curtain, as the dirt that accumulates on it can eventually lead to mold growth. Just because you can't see any mold growing on your curtain, doesn't mean that it microscopically isn't there. Your best bet, is to clean your curtain regularly as a precaution.
Soap Dish - Your soap dish may look aesthetically pleasing for all of your house guests, but what you don't realize, is you actually just made a place for germs to keep swimming in. Think about the soap bar when you place it in the dish. One side will always stay wet, while the other side will always stay dry. When the soap stays moist and is always wet, you are allowing bacteria to grow. If you are going to go the soap dish route, at least make sure it has holes in it, or just use liquid soap instead.
Toilet Bowl - You would think the toilet seat that everyone sits on is the worst part about the toilet, but not quite. Each time you flush the toilet, the bowl water splashes on the seat and the outer lid. If you don't clean your toilet bowl regularly, mold, mildew, and bacteria accumulate on it, and when you flush, that bacteria splashes on the seat and other parts of the toilet. Then when the next person goes to use the toilet, they are likely sitting on bacteria infested toilet bowl water. The best thing to do is to regularly sanitize every part of the toilet at least once a week.
Toothbrush - Surely we are all guilty of this one... You brush your teeth morning and night, and then cold season comes around the corner. Well, even when you are sick, you still need to brush your teeth. Once you are done being sick, do you deep clean your toothbrush, or keep using it like normal? The bacteria within your body when you are sick can remain on your toothbrush afterwards. If you don't deep clean (or replace) your toothbrush after you have been sick, you are jut recycling those germs.
Towels - Everyone uses a towel after they wash their hands in order to dry them. Yet, imagine when you have multiple people drying their previously washed hands on the same towel. Their hands were wet, and although the towel dries them, it adds moisture to the towel. Moisture means mold and bacteria can potentially grow on the towel.
After each use, sure you are drying your hands, but you could also be spreading more bacteria from one person to the next. It is better to either assign individual towels to each person (color code them), or to at least make sure you are washing towels weekly.
These disgusting and unhealthy bathroom habits don't have to make their presence known in your house. By being aware of these now, you can avoid making these mistakes in the future.

Regularly cleaning your bathroom can help keep your family healthy throughout the year. The cleaner you keep your house, the healthier you can ensure you and your family will be.
