08 Dec Overview of Medical Billing for Neurology
Neurology medical billing involves complex codes and frequent coding updates. For proper revenue management, claims must be processed appropriately. Our billing company can help you meet the daily challenges and hassles of navigating the difficult billing system.
Our Neurology Billing Services
MPMR medical billing company serves many specialty clients, particularly neurology. To help you stay compliant, we employ a team of highly trained and experienced coding professionals. Neurology coding ensures you get minimum denials and maximum collections by offering a complete range of services, such as:
- Patient enrollment – Includes demographics and insurance information.
- Insurance verification – We verify that the patient has the insurance.
- Appointments – Involves scheduling and re-scheduling.
- Medical coding – Includes assigning the appropriate procedural and diagnostic codes.
- Accounts receivable collections – Involves patient collection, insurance collection, and follow-up on old accounts.
AAPC-Certified Medical Coders
Our billing specialist are AAPC-certified coders who have a good understanding of ICD-10 and CPT codes. Without proper coding, claims will be denied and revenue will decline. All you, the client, has to do is provide diagnoses, and we code to support the services provided.
Benefits of Using Our Company
- Improved profitability – Approximately 60% of neurologists do not feel like they are fairly compensated. We prevent disruption of billing related to industry changes and focus on billing for maximum reimbursement.
- Mobile efficiency – Many neurologists do not have time to oversee medical billing. With our electronic system, you can access your schedule, approve refills, view patient charts, and have more flexibility in your daily routine.
- Better patient care – Because our electronic system has rapid charting capabilities, intelligent task management, and real-time patient flows, you can make the most of your patient care time.
- Reduced payor denials – Our collection system include aggressive appeal on denied claims. This increases cash flow and lets the insurance industry know that your facility is not going to accept denials on a regular basis. It is estimated that the number of denied claims has increased to 18% over the past decade. This can be costly to a neurology practice.
- Lowered employee costs – When you employ in-house billers, you have to consider FICA, insurance, and payroll taxes, as well as the cost of administering for these things. When you use an outsourced company, you take advantage of experienced medical billing services and do not have to worry about training and maintaining billing staff.
- Eliminate expenses and unnecessary hassles – This includes medical biller salary and benefits, computer hardware and software purchases, clearinghouse fees, postage, stationary and paper supplies, office space, and training costs.
- Reduce employee turnover – On-going employee turnover is common in medical practices. If a key medical biller leaves or goes on leave, it can compromise cash flow. Using a medical billing company helps you avoid these problems altogether.
- Cheaper fixed cost – When you outsource medical billing, your cost goes down and collections go up. Your employee costs can remain fixed, regardless of your billing needs, and you only have to pay a percentage of what is collected.
- Expert coding and billing – Medical billing and coding is a complex process, best left handled by experts. Many neurology offices accept multiple insurance plans, which have variable rules, different benefits, and varying payment schedules. We understand these problems and are specially trained to address them.
MPMR offers nationwide medical billing services, with neurology included. If you need top notch physician billing for your neurology practice, call MPMR today!

|Release Notes
|Hey folks,
|I just went through the process of building and using the freeimage library
|on Solaris 9. Things don't work out of the box so I thought I would share my
|experiences in case someone else wants to do the same.
|I'm using Solaris 9, and I have installed all the development libraries, make,
|and the gcc 3.3.2 found on sunfreeware.com.
|You have to use the make from sunfreeware because the Solaris 9 make program
|chokes hard on FreeImages makefiles.
|First thing I had to do was modify the main FreeImage makefile:
|1. go to the $(SHAREDLIB): line and replace the $(CC) line with the following.
|(there are 2 corrections)
|$(CC) -s -G -Wl,-soname=$(LIBNAME) -o $@ $(MODULES) $(LIBRARIES)
|The two changes are -G instead of -shared, and the = sign instead of a comma
|after the -soname.
|2. change INSTALLDIR = /usr/lib to INSTALLDIR = /usr/local/lib
|This is because the sunfreeware tools assume the libs being built will reside
|in /usr/local/lib and thus set the default linker search paths to that. Another
|solution for this would be to use the -R and -L linker options, but I chose
|the easy way :)
|That's it! You can now use freeimage.
|Also, if you have an autoconf/automake project that links against FreeImage,
|you can use the following in your configure.in, it works rather well for me:
|AC_CHECK_LIB(freeimage-3.5.0, FreeImage_Initialise, [],
|[AC_MSG_ERROR([libfreeimage-3.5.0.so required and missing. See
|http://freeimage.sourceforge.net.]) ])
|the AC_CHECK_LIB macro will not only find the library, it will automatically
|link against it as well so you dont have to add it to your Makefile.am.
|I hope this helps someone!
|ogtharox at users.sourceforge.net
|Note: You will need to have root privileges in order to install the library in the /usr/local/lib directory.
|The installation process is as simple as this :
|1) Enter the FreeImage directory
|2) Build the distribution :
|make -f Makefile.solaris
|make -f Makefile.solaris install
|3) Clean all files produced during the build process
|make -f Makefile.solaris clean
|Release Notes for Solaris/Sparc
|Under Solaris/Sparc, you will need to modify the following line :

"Had the enemy been able to confront us militarily, it would have already taken action," Salehi said in Tehran on Tuesday.
He referred to the current political and nuclear talks between Iran and the world powers, including the US, and said, "Given their weakness in the military dimension, they have opted for the political arena and we will certainly succeed in this area too."
Salehi voiced confidence that the power and might of the Iranian Armed Forces will influence the talks between Tehran and the world powers.
In relevant remarks in December, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani downplayed Washington's war rhetoric against Tehran, and underlined that the US has collapsed in all the three arenas of economy, politics and military.
"The Americans and (US President Barack) Obama are lying when they assert that all options are on the table against Iran," Soleimani said in the Southeastern city of Sirjan.
"That the Americans say we have brought Iran to its knees by pressures and sanctions is nothing more than a lie, rather it is the US which has collapsed in political, economic and military arenas which are considered as the main elements of power," he added.
Soleimani noted the US failures in the three aforementioned areas, and reminded that the US has the largest volume of debts in the world. "The US has also failed in the military aspect in any country against which it has waged a war, including Iraq and Afghanistan," he added.
In the political field, he said, the US is also the most hated country in the world, meaning that it has fallen down in every aspect of power.

My body … my physical self, is that to me.
We befriended ardently at the age of nine due to the severe migraines that would plague the rest of my life to date. She provided codes that guided me as to what I could and could not do: like the itching in my eyelashes that notified that sight would soon be leaving or the flash behind the eyes that was the start gun leaving approximately twenty minutes to get indoors before all hell broke loose.
Since then, her messages and moods have guided my movements and decisions. And yet, throughout changes in dress size and ever-expanding boobage, we learned to understand each other intimately and lived an effective life of joy and pain-filled effervescence.
We have spent countless days scuttling around darkened rooms recoiling from luminescence in all its manifold forms; as its burning fingers left the skin cringing and stomach churning until we had thrown up for so hard and so long that we were left with a sore throat for three days after.
We have splashed and skimmed through water's variations across sixteen countries and four continents and used its cooling droplets for healing, play and relaxation.
We have explored across abstractions of geography and precipices of ideas. And used skin and limbs to inquire into desire and seduction, appetites and wantonness.
We have danced, her and me: skipping to drum beats and guitar riffs along train platforms and stone steps.
There was that time we forgot ourselves whilst listening to 'Off The Wall' on the Tube and before we knew it, we'd dropped the knee, shuffled a couple of steps and executed a tight spin … only to come face to face with a prim Suit who looked at us as though we'd lost our mind; whilst others surreptitiously edged away – despite there not being much space to begin with.
We have rejoiced in each other – regardless of aging and weight; and have found in each other a partner of equal need, fascination and mischievousness. And in time, my physical self, my psychological self and my spiritual self reached a point of fellowship that provided me with a sense of completeness and possibility.
But that was before. Before I got sick. Before these last eighteen months.
We have been forcibly separated, my physical self and me: cleaved asunder from desperately clinging arms by a phantom titled "Functional Movement Disorder" and torn screaming into two disassociated entities that cannot communicate despite sharing such intimate proximity.
Our alliance has been defiled and eroded until I am left a stranded passenger strapped nervously and reluctantly into a shaking, spasming container: facial features collapsed on one side, uncontrollably flinging limbs into space and making involuntary sounds that cause children to cry and adults to make the "What the fuck?" expression whilst backing away slowly.
Where we danced, I now rely on crutches to stand and walk (on the days that I can stand and walk unaided) and use a wheelchair to travel whenever I leave the house.
Where we spent hours exploring movements and shapes, I now rely on others to help wash and dress: and to clean me up after soiling.
Where we endlessly played, there are times I am unable to determine whether I am touching or being touched: for without visual confirmation, I cannot register the contact.
I have been made weary by sickness and wounded in a manner so invisible, that it is impossible to show to others and say, "This is where it hurts".
And though I have been injured before, this lastest affliction has distressed me in ways so personal and peculiar, that I have struggled to explain it to those who matter.
My physical self and I have been placed in rooms divided by a dense glass wall that appears to be only window-like on my side of the division. And though I can see her clearly enough to read the confusion on her face, no matter how loudly I shout or how heavily I strike the glass, nothing gets through.
Music, books and Anime have failed to reach her, as the thick fog in my head obscures any message; and as the medicine takes hold, I don't even get the dial tone.
And dancing – our greatest private pleasure – is taken from us; as the world spins when standing and complicated movement causes back, hip and legs to collapse whilst screaming pain gets trapped behind sturdy teeth.
And so, tiredly, I rest my head against the thick glass and whisper: I am here still. I see you still.
And hope that in time, my words and my love will reach her too: that she will know that I am here; that I will wait.
I refuse to leave (or live) without her by my side.
Dedicated to and in celebration of: My body … my dear physical self – who has been temporarily separated from me. I look forward to the time that we are mated again. Pray God, 'twill be soon.
SO TELL ME: What do you think of this piece?

A4 Harnessing chemicals: module summary
The Harnessing chemicals module provides an insight into three vocational areas:
- chemicals for health care
- chemicals to add to food
- chemicals for decoration and protection.
The emphasis in this module is on ways of using chemicals which students may meet in their daily lives. Major raw materials and their processing in the chemical industry do feature but do not dominate the treatment. The emphasis is on achieving good quality outcomes of chemical synthesis, analysis, and formulation.
Harnessing chemicals builds on students' work in the GCSE Science course, especially
C1 Air quality
C2 Material choices
C3 Food matters
There are likely to be examples of the use of chemicals in your locality. Possible local contexts might be:
- in a hospital or retail pharmacy
- for household decorating (preparation, cleaning, painting, papering)
- for farming, horticulture or gardening
- to preserve or process food
- for beauty care and hairdressing
- for alternative medicine (homeopathy, aromatherapy, and so on)
- for swimming-pool maintenance, health and safety
The module will come across to students as more authentic if you are able to organise either visit(s) to organisations that harness chemicals, or to set up visits by practitioners.

Read my SeNuke TNG Review to learn how to increase website ranking. If you research on-line for the way to rank on Google, and how to get again-backlinks, or other Search engine optimisation remedies. You will see a whole lot of ads which will inform you, they have the solution called as SeNuke TNG. For only $147/month they can get you again-links out the kazoo, or remarks or a mix of a dozen distinct things to defeat a bear named Panda.
But here's the issue, as entrepreneurs, we are taught to concentrate on the wants and wants of the client and we swiftly overlook that in our connection with Google. Now, if you're paying to get on Google, that's diverse, then you are the consumer. But when you are trying to achieve the best of an organic and natural lookup, then Google is the shopper and you are supposedly incorporating value.
So here's the rub. You are striving each and every black hat technique in the ebook and plenty of white hat strategies to get to the prime place on webpage 1. But did you ever request yourself the most essential issue? What does Google want on the front webpage and why?
Google Has Clients As well
It really is not really difficult, nonetheless it bares mentioning, Google has a foundation for seeking certain web pages at the top and other pages down in the badlands of page ten. It's all about Google's consumers. While it's the 8,000 pound gorilla of research engines, Google has competitors and also wants to remain on best.
To do that, Google needs to make certain that when someone searches for details, that they are receiving the most appropriate knowledge they could get with no getting above marketed or hyped. They're worried with the top quality of the details that any person sees when they ask for it by way of a key word phrase.
What Google doesn't want, is inadequately created content, undesirable films or a bunch of sales hoopla that does not genuinely impart information about the people wants or would like. That is why Google retains on coming up with much more associated algorithms. They are trying to quit all the imaginative approaches that you are making an attempt to use to get your website page to rank above other individuals.
Google is attempting to make certain that the articles that is at the top of the organic queries obtained their organically. They are attempting to discover credibility and not inventive technological skills to bypass much better quality supplies. As before long as you understand this, your chances of rating will start to enhance.
It's A Blend Of Issues That Get's You To Rank On Google
There are a lot of great sources to teach you all the mechanics of obtaining to rank with Google. But if you do not don't forget that Google has an audience that they are making an attempt to fulfill, then, no matter of how much of a technical wizard you may be at Seo, your web pages will not keep.
So the straightforward reality is that, if you are looking to hold a larger rank for a keyword in Google, you have to develop and regularly offer excellent high quality articles for people who appear for a particular established of key phrases.
You're going to want to know the rest of the complex techniques as nicely. But you should concentrate your energies on high top quality content material very first. Request oneself, soon after you have written a weblog submit or write-up, would I go through this article? If I did read it, what did I get out of it? Would I use this details or was it a squander of time?
So prior to you begin to publish, check out out what is position. Is what you strategy to create as great as what you see in the leading ten. If no, re-assess your topic, if sure, commence putting your post with each other.

< EclipseLink | Examples | JPA
Revision as of 11:16, 29 March 2008 by Douglas.clarke.oracle.com (Talk | contribs)
How to use EclipseLink Pagination
There are a variety of solution options for paging results in an EclipseLink JPA application. This how-to highlights various approaches with code samples of how they can be used.
Database Specific SQL
EclipseLink's target database platform enables the generation of native SQL that can more optimally retrieve a set of rows.
Oracle ROWNUM
When the target platform is Oracle then ROWNUM is used in the generated SQL in addition to a hint to retrieve a page of results.
Query query = em .createQuery("SELECT e FROM Employee e ORDER BY e.lastName ASC, e.firstName ASC"); query.setFirstResult(5); query.setMaxResults(5); List<Employee> emps = query.getResultList();
Generates the SQL like:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ a.*, ROWNUM rnum FROM ( SELECT t0.EMP_ID AS EMP_ID1, t1.EMP_ID AS EMP_ID2, t0.F_NAME AS F_NAME3, t0.L_NAME AS L_NAME4, t0.START_TIME AS START_TIME5, t0.END_TIME AS END_TIME6, t0.GENDER AS GENDER7, t1.SALARY AS SALARY8, t0.VERSION AS VERSION9, t0.START_DATE AS START_DATE10, t0.END_DATE AS END_DATE11, t0.MANAGER_ID AS MANAGER_ID12, t0.ADDR_ID AS ADDR_ID13 FROM EMPLOYEE t0, SALARY t1 WHERE (t1.EMP_ID = t0.EMP_ID) ORDER BY t0.L_NAME ASC, t0.F_NAME ASC) a WHERE ROWNUM <= ?) WHERE rnum > ? bind => [10, 5]
Chunking using PKs with IN
This involve performing a query on the database for all of the primary key values that match the criteria and then using these values to retieve specific sets.
Query query = em .createQuery("SELECT e.id FROM Employee e ORDER BY e.lastName ASC, e.firstName ASC"); List<Integer> empIds = query.getResultList(); ReadAllQuery raq = new ReadAllQuery(Employee.class); ExpressionBuilder eb = raq.getExpressionBuilder(); raq.setSelectionCriteria(eb.get("id").in(empIds.subList(5, 10))); List<Employee> emps = JpaHelper.createQuery(raq, em).getResultList();
The SQL generated for this query looks like:
SELECT t0.EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE t0, SALARY t1 WHERE (t1.EMP_ID = t0.EMP_ID) ORDER BY t0.L_NAME ASC, t0.F_NAME ASC SELECT t0.EMP_ID, t1.EMP_ID, t0.F_NAME, t0.L_NAME, t0.START_TIME, t0.END_TIME, t0.GENDER, t1.SALARY, t0.VERSION, t0.START_DATE, t0.END_DATE, t0.MANAGER_ID, t0.ADDR_ID FROM EMPLOYEE t0, SALARY t1 WHERE ((t0.EMP_ID IN (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)) AND (t1.EMP_ID = t0.EMP_ID)) bind => [8, 1, 12, 3, 10]

Elizabeth Warren touted Cherokee heritage in 1984 collection of recipes
**Written by Doug Powers
The epic saga of Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren (aka "Dances with Identity Theft") continues. Personally, I don't like finding out that politicians who are running for office in order to "serve the people" were once involved with a cookbook. It's all too Twilight Zone-ish for my taste — but admittedly the metaphor isn't much of a stretch.
Many moons ago, Warren submitted recipes for a Native American-themed cookbook. We'll call Elizabeth's latest recipe "cooked goose in hot water":
Elizabeth Warren was touting her claim of Cherokee heritage as early as 1984, according to a cookbook titled "Pow Wow Chow" edited by her cousin that includes Warren's recipes for a savory crab omelet and spicy barbecued beans.
The cookbook, edited by Warren's cousin Candy Rowsey, is a compilation of "special recipes passed down through the Five Tribes families," according to the introduction in a copy obtained by the Herald.
Warren, who has been under fire for claiming Indian lineage despite a lack of documentation, is identified as "Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee" under each of five recipes she contributes in the cookbook, published in 1984 by the Five Civilized Tribes Museum located in Muskogee. Warren is not listed as an official member of the Cherokee tribe and she has been unable thus far to document her claim of any Native American heritage.
News of Warren's Cherokee recipes comes as outraged members of the tribe — including a Warren supporter — demanded she release her employment records following reports that she has no documentation to prove her Native American ancestry.
By way of Twitchy (who are collecting the mockery for full display as we speak), here's a review of the cookbook at Amazon:
Another satisfied customer!
I'm told Warren's recipe for Macaroni & Cochise isn't too bad though.

Ignacy Jan Paderewski was born in 1860 in the village of Kurylowka, Podolia, Poland. He studied at the Warsaw Musical Institute and with many Eastern European teachers. He became one of Poland's world renowned pianists and composers. Although his own compositions are well known, Paderewski was widely praised for his renditions of Chopin. In addition to delighting Poland and the world with his music for over 50 years, Paderewski also became one of Poland's great statesmen. At the beginning of World War I, Paderewski founded a committee to assist the people of Poland and established branches in Paris, London and throughout the United States. Paderewski's efforts, with support from the American government and American people, helped Poland regain her freedom after World War I. He was also one of the signers of the Paris Peace Treaty which was responsible for reestablishing the proper boundaries between Poland and her neighbors. Paderewski became the chief framer of the Polish Constitution of 1919 and served as Poland's delegate to the League of Nations in Geneva. Upon Poland's Independence, in 1918, Paderewski became its Prime Minister and Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

Standing ovation for a moist-eyed Piyush Pandey @Goafest 2016
Ad guru Piyush Pandey was felicitated at the recently held Goafest 2016l. It was a moment of high emotions as the industry welcomed him with open affection and a standing ovation
Ad guru Piyush Pandey was felicitated at the recently held Goafest 2016l. It was a moment of high emotions as the industry welcomed him with open affection and a standing ovation. Ogilvy's decision to stay away from the Abby Awards for the last couple of years made little difference to the high regard for Piyush Pandey, celebrated adman and a person full of genuine warmth
"I thank the AAAI, the Ad Club Mumbai, and the advertising fraternity for making me cry and cry. And I thank all of you who gave me such a wonderful welcome. In our small business, I think Sachin Tendulkar would be proud of it. All I can say is that there is so much of energy in this room, keep that energy going be proud of yourselves, be famous in the streets… The streets of Mumbai, Jaipur, Lucknow and Goa and not only in the streets of Cannes. I want your neighbours, your parents, your relatives, your friends, your schoolmates to be proud of you. When they are proud of you, the world will be proud of you," said Piyush Pandey. "I have spent more than half of my life in this business, and this industry has given me so much of joy that I feel in my everyday life. I would love to be in the last seat of this room a few years from now, hooting and watching you, I should be able to listen, cheer and say you make me proud."
I see it as being a part of my industry. I love seeing the young people of the industry. I see the energy and I feel good. Goafest is an extension of the Bombay Ad Club awards. I have great memories of Bombay Ad Club awards. I grew up on that. So, it's nice to be back today.
According to Piyush Pandey, young participation is the best thing that can happen to any industry around the world. "But sensible participation is the thing. The work should not be for a barber shop or a paan shop or a sweet shop. We have to be a little more mature. My message to young people is that, don't do work for the sake of doing work. Do work which is meaningful. That will make you much bigger, much stronger and much more meaningful."
But does the fact that Piyush Pandey stays away from Goafest send the wrong message to youngsters about participating in industry award shows? Says Pandey, "In a way, you might be right that if I am not participating, the youngsters may say that something is wrong. On the other hand, I would like the youngsters to know why am I not participating, what would I expect from them? I want a scenario where people do work which is loved by people on the streets. Youngsters must know that I am not away from it because I don't believe in it. I am away from it because I don't believe in a barber's shop or a sweet shop kind of advertising. I believe that it must reach everyone on the streets of India and hopefully I'd be able to convince them at some stage."For more updates, be socially connected with us on

In the mid-20th century, migrants from mainland China brought an influx of Chinese artworks, as well as their expertise on the subject, to the British colony of Hong Kong. Here mainland Chinese and local Hong Kong collectors encountered foreign connoisseurs (mostly from Britain, France, America and Japan) and built up significant collections of Chinese art under this multicultural environment. Through reconstructing the biographical accounts of four representative collectors who were active during the 1950s to 1990s – E. T.

Make it 17: Indians win 17th straight, beat Orioles 4-2
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians earned their 17th straight win Saturday, topping the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 behind a pair of timely swings for Jay Bruce and Francisco Lindor.
Bruce's fourth-inning single put the Indians ahead for good as Cleveland became just the second team in the expansion era — since 1961 — to win 17 straight in a season.
The crowd of 30,459 stood throughout the ninth inning as Cody Allen retired the heart of Baltimore's order for his 25th save.
Cleveland's franchise-record streak is the longest in the majors since Oakland won 20 straight in 2002.

Couple engaged at Spanish Town parade relives magical moment
BATON ROUGE - The Spanish Town Mardi Gras Parade is known for its outrageous and over the top floats. This year's parade was put to a halt as one man decided to ask his girlfriend to marry him.
Justin Capro decided to propose to his girlfriend Kaitlyn Goudeau right in front of the Oh Na Neaux float last Saturday.
Each person on the float held up a sign asking for Kaitlyn's hand in marriage.
"I said it's been a long four years, but I'm ready to spend my entire life with you. Will you marry me? And she said yes. Well, she said she couldn't hear me because everybody was screaming but she said yes," said Justin.
The couple had already made plans to attend the parade, and that's when Justin decided to use it as an opportunity to pop the question.
With the help of family and friends, he created thirty signs asking the big question.
"Ms. Mary Robinson -- I believe she's the owner helped me out a lot -- I had the idea of holding up one sign but she was like, 'why not get everyone to hold it up.' I made thirty signs for everybody on the float to hold up," said Justin.
Seeing so many floats pass by, Kaitlyn did not think the signs were referring to her.
"I looked up at the float, and I saw 'Will you marry me Kaitlyn?' I was like, 'that has to be another Kaitlyn,' and then I looked at the another sign and then it said, 'Marry me kel?' which is my nickname, so I was like, aw man!'" she said.
The couple plans to tie the knot after Kaitlyn graduates from nursing school.

Haagen Dazs has recently launched a new line of premium flavoured lattes, crafted with premium Illy coffee and six of their iconic ice cream flavours: Vanilla, Cookies & Cream, Macadamia Nut, Green Tea, Strawberry and Chocolate. The lattes cost $6.80 each and customers can choose to have it hot or cold.
Vanilla Latte. A latte made from a blend of Haagen Dazs' signature Vanilla ice cream (with beans sourced specially from Madagascar) and premium Illy coffee. The taste of vanilla is true and the smooth and creamy flavour is highly discernible. It is fuller than other vanilla lattes at other coffee outlets because of the ice cream used.
Cookies & Cream Latte. This is expected to be a crowd favourite as this ice cream flavour is a huge hit at Haagen Dazs. The texture of the coffee is rather unique, with cookie chunks at the bottom of the drink. However, I felt that the nuts added into the coffee were redundant and took attention away from the original flavour.
Macadamia Nut. Unlike most nut lattes (like the popular hazelnut latte), where the flavour comes from the use of syrup, this latte is a blend of Macadamia Nut ice cream and Illy coffee, thus resulting in a fragrant and balanced taste. It is less sweet compared to the other lattes, but still smooth like the Vanilla but more nutty.
Green Tea Latte. I cannot say that I enjoyed this latte as I do not like green tea (insert horror music). There is no coffee in this drink as the bitter flavours of the tea would have clashed with that of the coffee. It is basically crafted with Haagen Dazs' Green Tea ice cream and steamed milk. The flavour was extremely rich, which is probably good for matcha lovers out there.
Strawberry Latte. As opposed to the Macadamia Nut latte, where no syrup was used, this had a combination of ice cream, strawberry syrup and coffee. The syrup was added to increase the intensity of the flavour, as well as complement the real fruit pieces in the ice cream. I think I would have preferred it sweeter and in the cold version.
Last but not least, Chocolate Latte. The latte is a classic combination of Chocolate ice cream and coffee. The addition of chocolate syrup and chocolate powder brought about a fuller taste.

I was hoping that spring was here since last week it was 60 degrees and now today we have sleet, rain and tonight SNOW. I am so anxious to get outside and enjoy the sunshine but I guess it has to wait again. I did go out last week when it was warm and did a little shopping for some spring ideas for my home and a show I am participating in with my friend.
My grandkids school activities are coming to a close. We go next month to my grandson's districts for swimming. He swims the 200 free and 500 free for his school. We are so proud of him!!! My grand-daughter's all city concert is also next month, she plays the clarinet and does it very well. I could not play that instrument if I tried. We are so proud of her also!!!!
This is short but I have limited time to post right now since I have projects to complete.
Until next time......................

When my granddaughter Megan was 8 years old and just completed 2nd grade, her mom asked her about the Fourth of July and if she knew what it was about. Megan said it was about fireworks. Pressing the issue further, it became apparent that Megan had been taught absolutely nothing about July 4th or American independence. My daughter called me and asked if I would be willing to spend some time with Megan and teach her about American independence and the history of our nation.
A couple of days later, I had the opportunity to talk to Megan and ask her what they taught her in school about America. She told me that they had taught her a little about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but mostly they taught her all about President Obama and how great he is. When I heard what the public schools had been teaching our children and grandchildren, I was angry and yet at the same time, I almost wanted to cry.
I pushed the subject a little further and asked Megan if they taught her anything about why the Pilgrims came to America or why we fought the British in the Revolutionary War and she looked at me like I had been asking about quantum physics. What I did find out was that she had been taught about globalism and how we should all be working together to save the planet.
This really got me thinking about Deuteronomy 6:4-15.
4"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10"And when the LORD your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—with great and good cities that you did not build, 11and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and when you eat and are full, 12then take care lest you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 13It is the LORD your God you shall fear. Him you shall serve and by his name you shall swear. 14You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are around you— 15forthe LORD your God in your midst is a jealous God— lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
Verses 4 thru 9 instruct us to teach God's Word to our children in such a fashion that they are with them always. In verses 10 thru 15, we are told not to forget the God that brought us into the Promised Land and not to go after other gods.
America has become the Promised Land over the past 250 years. Reading our TRUE history, it becomes readily apparent that God led the Pilgrims out of the bondage of the religious tyranny they were under in the various European countries and into the wilderness of colonial America. And in that history we see that as long as they worshipped the Lord God as their God and followed His statutes that God continued to bless our nation.
Yet as we see today, the nation has turned away from God and His statutes and He is now turning His wrath and judgment against us. Our nation is following after other gods, the gods of atheism, hedonism, socialism, evolutionism and environmentalism.
That led me to Psalm 78 which speaks about the Israelites in the wilderness with Moses who in less than one generation, turned away from God and were subsequently destroyed. They saw God's miracles of the parting of the Red Sea, being led by the cloud during the day and pillar of fire by night, the manna and quail and the water coming out of the rock, and yet they forsook their heritage and upbringing.
With scripture in mind, I realized that since Megan's dad was not part of her life, that it was my responsibility to teach her about God's Word and about our promised land – America. It is my duty to carry out Deut. 6 and not the public schools. This is a duty that I am taking seriously and am looking forward to.
Have you ever asked your children if they understood what July 4th was all about or if they knew America's Christian history? Have you ever sat down with them and read Deut. 6 or Psalm 78 and showed them how that relates to America?
I challenge all of you to make this July 4th weekend a special one and teach your children what it is all about. Teach them about the Pilgrims and why they came to America. Tell them about the thousands of men and women who sacrificed so much to win our independence.

PG&E may try to shift liability for North Bay wildfires to governments
As Pacific Gas & Electric Co. braces for the possibility that its power lines will be named by investigators as the cause of the North Bay wildfires, the utility's legal strategy appears to involve trying to spread the blame for billions of dollars in fire losses on local governments.
The San Francisco utility company has filed claims with Sonoma County, the city of Santa Rosa and other agencies saying that if PG&E is found liable for the fires, then those governments may share responsibility because of the "inadequacy" of the local fire response and preparations.
The company says filing the claims was merely a way to preserve its rights, and not an indication that it will actually point the finger at firefighters, urban planners and water managers for failing to stop the wildfires, which killed 24 people and destroyed nearly 5,300 homes in Sonoma County.
Nevertheless, the filings raise the prospect the investor-owned utility will do just that if boxed into a legal corner.
"From a legal perspective, what their claim says is 'if we are held liable, you share in some of that liability,' " Santa Rosa City Attorney Sue Gallagher said.
The claim was filed in Santa Rosa in April, but got its first airing in closed session before the City Council this week. Sonoma County has already filed a lawsuit against PG&E for damages related to the fires, and the city, which has hired the same law firm, is preparing to follow suit, Gallagher said.
In its claim, PG&E asserts that the city may share liability for the fire damages for several reasons, including the "inadequacy" of its "urban planning and property development approvals."
The company also points to "water, emergency preparedness and other infrastructure for which Santa Rosa is responsible," as well as the failure to enforce "laws and ordinances related to vegetation" to reduce fuel loads, and the general "fire and emergency response during the fires."
According to a source who works with PG&E executives and is familiar with the company's thinking, the planning piece stems from questions raised about the wisdom of allowing so many homes to be built in fire-prone areas such as Fountaingrove.
The inadequacy claim about the water infrastructure relates to information that water pumps failed during the fire, according to the source, who is not authorized to speak for PG&E and requested anonymity.
And there is also ample evidence in the public record that public agencies in Sonoma County have at times opposed efforts by PG&E to trim vegetation from high-voltage power lines in the county, the source indicated.
Gallagher called the claims "completely baseless." In addition to being untrue, the claims have no legal merit because public agencies are immune from such liability claims when they act in good faith to serve the public, she said.
"Not only from the factual basis, but also from a legal perspective, the claim is without factual basis and it has no legal grounding," Gallagher said.
Nevertheless, the claims are "not a bluff" and she expects the company to aggressively attempt to shift the liability to government agencies throughout the litigation, which she said will be complex and lengthy.

Retention and Graduation Rate Progress
Western Illinois University values educational opportunity and welcomes those who show promise and a willingness to work toward achieving shared educational goals. In Macomb, first year (fall-to-fall) retention rates of all students, minority students, and Pell grant recipients all increased. Furthermore, the six-year graduation rate for Pell grant recipients increased and the graduation rate of all students is at a historic peak for the institution. However, six-year graduation rates for minority students did decline.
In the Quad Cities, graduation rates of minority students improved. However, graduation rates for all students and Pell Grant recipients are down from the previous year's comparison and have returned to a level consistent with previous cohorts. (For the Quad Cities campus, four-year graduation rates are reported. Since the Quad Cities admits undergraduate students as juniors, four years is the 150 percent measure of the normal time-to-degree.)
A President's Retention Task Force has been established on the Macomb Campus to identify strategies to increase retention and graduation rates. A task force will be formed on the Quad Cities Campus and charged with similar functions. Benchmark comparisons show that Western is ranked 12th (of 16) with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on the first-year retention rate, the Macomb Campus' graduation rate ranks ninth, and the Quad Cities Campus' graduation rate ranks third (of seven).
U.S. News and World Report uses the following methodology for the information in the table below. The graduation rate indicates the average proportion of a graduating class who earned a degree in six years or less; we consider freshman classes that started from 1998 through 2001. Freshman retention indicates the average proportion of freshmen who entered the school in the fall of 2003 through fall 2006 and returned the following fall.
Student Engagement Progress
To further understand trends in student retention and graduation, Western participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), as student involvement and satisfaction with the educational process are correlates of academic achievement. NSSE provides comparative data for second-semester freshmen and second-semester seniors at Western compared to all other participating master's granting comprehensive universities in five areas:
- Academic challenge or the degree to which students perceive the importance of academic effort and setting high performance standards.
- Academic and collaborative learning or measures of how intensely students were involved in their educational process and whether they applied what they have learned to different settings.
- Student-faculty interactions or the degree to which students interacted with faculty inside and outside the classroom.
- Opportunities for enriching educational experiences or the degree to which students engaged in curricular and co-curricular activities beyond classroom instruction. It also measures the extent to which students report exposure to different ideals and cultures other than their own.
- Supportive campus environment or the extent to which students perceive that the University's academic programs and co-curricular services are committed to student success inside and outside the classroom.
Comparative NSSE data for 2009 will be included in a future monthly strategic plan update. The data through 2008 (reported below) serve as baseline for the implementation of Higher Values in Higher Education 2008-2018. Values at or above 100 percent show that reported student satisfaction is higher at Western than peer institutions.
In 2008, Western freshmen and seniors reported higher levels of engagement in student-faculty interactions than students at peer institutions. This includes discussing grades or assignments with an instructor, talking about career plans with a faculty member or advisor, and working with faculty members on activities other than coursework (committees, orientation, student life activities, etc.)
Western freshmen and seniors also reported higher levels of engagement in a supportive campus environment than students at peer institutions. Western students rate the quality of relationships with students, faculty, and offices and the institutional environment promoting student academic and social success at levels higher than students at peer institutions.
Courses, Class Size, and Student-Faculty Ratio Progress
Individual attention and educational opportunities characterize Western's educational environment. Both Macomb and the Quad Cities experienced increases in the number of course sections and the percent of classes with enrollments under 30.
While Western is providing more sections and small class sizes, the University maintained its commitment to historically low student-to-faculty ratios on both campuses. Among benchmark institutions, the Macomb Campus ranks second (of 16) and the Quad Cities Campus ranks third (of 10) for the lowest student-to-faculty ratios.
Alumni Involvement Progress
The University also reports on the percent of alumni donating to the University as a proxy for student satisfaction with the educational experience. Because Western reports one value for the percent of alumni donations, data for the Macomb and Quad Cities benchmark institutions are combined. Western ranks sixth (of 20) in the percent of alumni donating to the University.
U.S. News and World Report uses the following methodology for the information in the table below. The alumni giving rate reflects the average percentage of living alumni with bachelor's degrees who gave to their school during academic years 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, which is an indirect measure of student satisfaction.

I was out late to capture the city at night. It was my first time and I just had the camera in my hands, so a lot of the pictures got blurred. A few of them turned out ok though.
It is going to take some more practice and stabilization, but I will get better.

11,620 Turley members around the world
Stay informed about Turley Family online & offline events!
See one of our recent Ireland101 Tribe Gatherings
Turley Family HistoryThis is an anglicized form of the Olde Gaelic name Mac Toridhealbhaigh. The Gaelic prefix 'mac' indicates 'son (of)', plus the personal name 'To(i)r' meaning 'Towering Warrior' and 'dealbhach' translating as 'statuesque' or 'in the shape of'. The names Turley and Torley (usually without the prefix 'Mac') are mainly found in the Northern Irish counties of Antrim, Down, Armagh and Derry. On June 4th 1791, one A(r)my Turley married a John Brown in Belfast, County Antrim. A Patrick (Mc) Torley is recorded in Londonderry (October 23rd 1813). It is interesting to note that the surname Turley suddenly appears in County Roscommon Church Registers circa 1865...

SEVERAL writers have looked into declassified US government documents covering the period leading to September 21, 1972 and found intriguing stuff about Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.
Using those documents, Filipino historian Lisandro Claudio revealed the networking Ninoy did with the communists so he could topple "a morally bankrupt regime" (GMA News Online, "Ninoy networked with everyone, Reds included"). Ninoy needed the communists on his side so he could be president (Rappler, "Ninoy linked up with the Left to aid presidential ambition," August 25, 2013).
Another Filipino historian Ambeth Ocampo combed through those declassified records and found what Ninoy thought about Marcos, martial law, and what he would do if he were president.
In a private conversation between Ninoy and the US Embassy political counselor on September 12, 1972, Ninoy said that he would "support" Marcos if he would declare martial law. Ninoy also revealed his option to ally with the communists to launch an anti-Marcos revolution. (Inquirer, "What Ninoy told the US about Marcos," January 6, 2017).
In his column in The Manila Times, Rigoberto Tiglao built upon what Ocampo wrote. Arguing against the popular notion that Marcos exaggerated the threat of communist insurgency, Tiglao highlighted how Ninoy "did believe…[that]martial law, while it did allow [Marcos] to continue in power, was necessary to prevent the country from falling into chaos" ("Ninoy believed martial law was necessary and supported it").
These are astounding. Yet what intrigued me the most was Ninoy's cavalier attitude as he was confiding to the Americans about his ambition, his plans, and collaboration with the communists.
In an airgram on August 20, 1971, US Ambassador Henry Alfred Byroade reported what Ninoy told Political Counselor Maestrone during their first meeting on August 11. Sensing that the Liberal Party was "in danger of extinction" as Marcos "blocked the traditional avenues of access to political power," Ninoy mulled out loud his career options.
The airgram enumerated three:
"1) allow himself to be bought off by the Nacionalistas (Nacionalista Sen. Jose Roy, Aquino related, had recently orally invited Aquino on Marcos' behalf to be the Senate's representative on the GOP delegation to the UN General Assembly and, upon his return, become the head of the Philippine National Bank. Aquino said he asked for the offer in writing from Marcos, thus effectively declining the probe); 2) 'hang up my shingle' and retire from politics; or 3) 'go to the hills' and join the revolution."
Ninoy was seriously considering the third one. As he told Maestrone, his office conducted a poll with this question: "How would you react if a senator went to the hills?" and whether the respondent would approve a "revolutionary change of government." The result: 34 percent approved of it; and "two years ago," the airgram mentioned, "the response was only 19 percent." That the poll was also conducted two years before means that as early as 1969, Ninoy was already contemplating usurping power from Marcos by collaborating with the communists!
Believing that the revolution could occur between 1971 and 1974/1975, Ninoy thought that "a revolutionary leader of sufficient prominence would have little difficulty in gaining support from the peasants and that financial support would come from the urban middle class and some of the wealthy who were disenchanted with the Marcos Administration."
Not only did Ninoy share his possible plan to lead a violent revolution from the hills, he also divulged what communists were planning! "Starting in September [1971]," Ninoy reported, "radical leaders planned to place their emphasis on increased urban terrorism rather than on terroristic activities in the provinces which they felt were not having the desired impact…the number of students who have received two or three months of guerrilla training in the hills and who have returned to the cities is growing, and their tactics have become more sophisticated." These tactics would include "fewer direct confrontations with the police and Philippine Constabulary and more use of sniping, arson, bombing and other forms of selective terrorism."
Why was Ninoy divulging this information to the communist-hating Americans? He surely knew that the Americans would rat it out to Marcos so he could do something to stop it.
The airgram implied that Ninoy was trying to gauge whether the Americans would support a revolutionary government. Ninoy told Maestrone: "One of the key factors that any revolutionary must consider and which at present was unclear was the position the United States would take in a revolutionary situation in the Philippines."
Surely, Ninoy was not dumb to believe that the Americans would ever support a revolutionary government instituted by a communist uprising. It was the Cold War! U.S. foreign policy was all about containing the advancement of communism. There was no way they would have accepted the government of a country they considered to be a crucial part of their defensive perimeter against communism to be overthrown and be possibly led by communists.
Thus, this is my conjecture:
Ninoy wanted the Americans to tell Marcos about everything so he could be provoked to declare martial law, which was necessary to fully instigate a moment ripe for an anti-Marcos revolution, which he believed could catapult him into the presidency. At the same time, by divulging what communists were up to, Ninoy was trying to get America's trust. Why?
He wanted America's backing, which was necessary so his possible revolutionary government would have international legitimacy. But to get that, he must demonstrate to them that he would also throw his communist collaborators under the bus once he became president. That's most probably why he said that if he were president like Marcos, he would also not hesitate to declare martial law.

Do You Have Financial Phobia?
With an ever-increasing level of personal debt being reported, along with record numbers of bankruptcies and insolvencies, it's no surprise to anyone that money is becoming a big problem for thousands if not millions of people. Most of us would equate 'money problems' with 'debt problems', and indeed servicing high levels of debt is a major cause of worry and stress for those of us who've perhaps borrowed too heavily in the past. There is another kind of money trouble that doesn't receive quite as much publicity. It's called Financial Phobia, and is a real clinical condition that causes untold problems for its victims. Recent research has suggested that up to 20% of adults suffer from full-blown financial phobia, with nearly half of the population showing some signs of a milder version of the condition. Sufferers find it extremely difficult to keep on top of their finances, as the prospect of doing simple things like opening bills causes them feelings of anxiety, nausea, and even - in the worst cases - full panic attacks. They will dislike checking their bank balances, will put off paying bills, and in extreme cases will avoid opening mail altogether and throw it away rather than deal with the contents. So what causes this condition? One of the main triggers is a sense of finances being out of control, sometimes through debt, but also through having a bad experience with finance such as losing money in a bad investment, or of following bad advice. Victims of mis-selling of inappropriate products can lose trust in banks and by extension the whole realm of finance. The irony is that by avoiding paying attention to their financial situation, sufferers will tend to make matters worse as they can't pick up on problems early on. Missed payments, for example, can go from being a minor issue to a cause of legal action if they are ignored rather than tackled. As their financial situation deteriorates, the sense of being out of control increases, leading to a vicious circle where other problems including full depression can arise. So is there a way out? As with all genuine phobias, counselling may be required if the problem has got out of hand, along with professional financial help from debt advisors which is often available for free from charities. However, people in the early stages of the condition can help stop the situation deteriorating by starting to get back on top of their finances, fighting their urges to ignore the problem, and starting to tackle any underlying causes such as debt.

Master Data Management Services
Data Integration
Your new customers, new partners, the newly purchased competitor – your many sources of input. All of this data converging at once into one place. You want this data to be pure, correct, ready for use. This is where we come in. We don't just "do data", we look for real-life contextual factors like semantic conflicts of definition or benchmarking against a particular set of criteria.
Data Conversion
This is the place where you benefit most from our large network of experts and our years of working in so many different environments. Converting data needs upfront experience with source and target formats. We rely heavily on our network of experts who work directly with us to ensure we bring you first-hand knowledge of each and every format we are working with.
Data Governance
When someone from your side inputs data, you want to know the right data gets input into the right place – so, text doesn't belong in a number field, for example. We work directly with our clients, setting up precise benchmarking details such as: business rules, definitions and constraints, the "who is allowed" and "what is allowed" of your company information so that you can monitor, maintain, manage, assess, improve and finally use your data to your benefit.
Data Consolidation
You most likely know data integration takes longer than data consolidation. In an effort to save time and money, you might even be tempted to skip a few steps along the way. We know why you should avoid that temptation and we walk you through the process so the data you receive in the end is what you really needed to begin with.
That which is based in an accurate interpretation of reality. We like providing our clients with accurate information so they can have realistic expectations and then make real decisions which bring tangible outcomes.
How we do data
Wouldn't it be nice to have one, tight team of people for your data migration project? The entire team has the same understanding of the workload and everyone on the team is working on the same timelines and goals. Everyone on the team knows how to communicate effectively, not just between themselves, but also with the client as well as the external project-coordination firm.
We believe data migration projects filled with personnel hired in from separate sources are a hotspot for conflicting goals – those of the paying customer and those of the external project-coordination firm. When these two groups of people don't communicate well together, the paying customer always loses.
At Lusion, we do data differently. We don't just give you one expert for your project. When possible, we bring the entire team. Our hand-picked experts work in tandem, covering every task and phase of the migration, while providing continuity and project loyalty, phase after phase, roll-out after roll-out. Working with us gives you more ability to ensure all team members are working toward the same goal and solving issues as one force.
You no longer need to piecemeal your team members and be held hostage to the lack of qualified experts for your next data migration project. You have an alternative – Lusion.
Our History
Lusion GmbH was founded on one truth - bring our customers true value: data management project-implementation based on realistic expectations, led by realistic goals, guided by realistic milestones, using open communication and grounded in a commitment to meeting our client's needs.
Our Clients
The companies which choose to be our clients are generally global market leaders in their industry. They are used to staying one step ahead of their game. They are not afraid to look at challenges with open eyes and they believe in the idea of being different as a competitive advantage.
Industries We Work In
We are honored to continue in the 10th year to serve the automobile, manufacturing and transportation industries. In addition, we are quite pleased to add the machine-building and pharmaceutical industries to our experience. The added experience in process and project scope is what we appreciatively share with our existing and new clients.
More Than Techies
We pride ourselves in being more than "technical nerds". For us, no project can be successful without good communication between all parties. It is our aim to strive for the highest quality service offering we can provide, at the best price available, and to being the company with the reputation of having the most communicative techie team in the business.
Work for us
Do you love making things work, solving the unsolvable, bringing the answer to the question? Are you a freelancer looking for a place to call "home"?

Several years ago, my daughter Kimber was the lighting director for A Christmas Carol. Besides getting to gaze at the beautiful lighting that my little girl did, I was reminded of the three ghosts: Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. (As a child, I couldn't understand why Christmas Present wasn't giving away gifts like Santa Claus. It was implied in the name.)
If there was one thing that you, Christmas Present, could tell future you, Christmas Yet to Come, what would it be? "Remember the killer Rachel Ray roast chicken recipe you tried this year – it was the bomb!" or, ""Don't forget you bought your Christmas cards at the 50% off sale this year – don't go and buy more next November!" Well, that is precisely what your Holiday Binder is for.
Put all your favorite recipes, ideas, secret hiding places and gift ideas for next year in a handy binder. Trust me, Christmas Yet to Come will thank you when she doesn't have to hunt down the artichoke dip recipe.
Then? Make sure to put the binder somewhere that you'll find it next year.
