Amy Klobuchar on Social Security
DFL Sr Senator (MN)
That Republican tax bill went so low that once it went under 25 percent, every point was $100 billion. Think what that could pay for, for rural broadband all over this country, which I pledge to do by 2022.
Close the carried interest loophole. Bring the capital gains rate to the rate that we see for personal tax rates. One thing I would add to the mix, comprehensive immigration reform. The bill we had back in 2013 brought the debt down $158 billion.
KLOBUCHAR: I believe that if we can shore up this deficit and balance the budget, that we can then start shoring up Social Security. This Congress has raided $925 billion from Social Security. And you go back to the Clinton administration.
Q: Would you raise the retirement age?
KLOBUCHAR: I don't believe that is the solution.
Q: Cost of living increase?
KLOBUCHAR: I don't believe that's the solution. If we can get that balanced budget in place, we're going to be able to secure Social Security for the future [as we had under Clinton]
Q: With no changes in the system?
KLOBUCHAR: We can have a bipartisan commission look at those changes. They should be options to be looked at, but it would be a hard sell on me because I believe our priority should be to balance the budget. There is a better way to do this by being fiscally responsible instead of giving billions of dollars in oil giveaways.
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
Perhaps the worst example of wasteful spending is when we take the taxes people pay for Social Security and, instead of saving them, we spend them on other things. Even worse than spending Social Security on other things is we do not count it as debt when we talk about the deficit every year. So using the Social Security money is actually a way to hide even more wasteful spending without counting it as debt. This Amendment would change that.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
This amendment has a fatal flaw. It leaves the door open for private Social Security accounts by providing participants with the option of "pre-funding of at least some portion of future benefits."
Scoring system for 2014: Ranges from 0% (supports privatization and other market-based reforms) to 100% (supports keeping federal control over Trust Fund and Social Security system).

Annual conference: Day one round-up
09 October 2018
Chris Hopson's conference speech
In Chris Hopson's, NHS Providers chief executive, speech earlier this morning, he spoke about the current state of the provider sector and how, despite the longest financial squeeze in NHS history, providers continue to deliver outstanding patient care. He called for realism in the long-term plan about growing and complex demands trusts are now facing and a deliverable operational task for the provider sector. You can read his speech in full on here.
Day one plenary summaries
We explored the lessons the sector has learned in mental health with insight from Dr Geraldine Strathdee OBE, former national clinical director for mental health, NHS England, Alex Fox OBE, chief executive, Shared Lives Plus, Angela Etherington, expert by experience, and Sheena Cuminsky, chief executive, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens gave a keynote address on the key priorities for the health and care system over the next decade and outlined his vision for the future.
We considered what the priorities for the long-term plan should be in order to recover performance and transform services ,with a panel including Jim Mackey, chief executive, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Ben Page, chief executive Ipsos MORI.
In our final session, chiar Martha Kearney chaired a panel exploring inclusion and diversity in NHS leadership, with participants including Baroness Dido Harding, chair, NHS Improvement, and Carol Campayne, executive director, Diversity Practice.
Launch of new efficiency report
Earlier today, we launched our major new report, Making the most of the money: Efficiency and the long-term plan. We surveyed over 150 provider leaders, representing 54% of trusts and foundation trusts, to inform our report which explores how trusts feel about their ability to deliver an increasingly stretching efficiency requirement, where savings can still be made and what national leaders can do to help trusts and local systems become more efficient.
Speaker sound bite
Dr Geraldine Strathdee OBE talks about why she comes to our annual conference.
As the membership organisation for all NHS provider trusts, we understand what it takes to deliver high-level training and support that makes a positive impact on NHS colleagues and their organisations. We today launched our new development offer brochure to offer members more information about the support and training we can provide.
Our plenary speakers include:
- Rt Hon Matt Hancock, health and social care secretary, in coversation with myself
- Andy Burnham, mayor, Greater Manchester Combined Authority
- Ian Dalton, chief executive, NHS Improvement.
You can still visit our exhibition and provider showcase, the networking hub of the event.
You can view the full programme on here, and in the printed guides provided in your delegate bags.
You can follow the conversation on Twitter on the #NHSP18 hashtag. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Microsoft Surface Repair
Before & After > Drag The Arrow.
Repair Times
Times are subject to a booking, walk-in repairs are done on a best efforts basis.
We stock screens & batteries for Surface Pro, Book, RT & laptop to complete repairs either same day or overnight.
We strive to deliver four key fundamentals:
1. The use of the highest quality original PC parts
2. Transparent pricing & part quality information
3. Quality workmanship
4. An express service
Investing significant amounts of time & money into quality control, communication and research gives us confidence that we are offering the best possible service.
Yes. We only procure factory original parts. Our authorised suppliers are based in NZ so we can generally order in custom PC parts within 48 hours.
We have very strict data security protocols. Read more here.
All repairs are backed by a minimum 4 month warranty. Generally any issue is fixed on the spot. RAM, Solid State Drive's & some other parts come with a 2 year warranty.
We pay for all e-Waste to be broken down and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
Please take care when you dispose of anything phone or computer related, do not just throw them in the bin, the chemicals in these devices cause terrible damage to the NZ environment.
Generally not. Most repairs go nowhere near the hard drive and as a precaution we disable the hard drive cable so no data is lost in the event of a power surge (very unlikely yet still a possibility).
Hard drive related repairs can have corrupted sections, in this case we will save what we can and replace the drive with a new Solid State Disk.
We recommend a full backup to an external USB drive at least every week.

A Commitment to Education
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has made a strong commitment to helping Atlanta students further their secondary education. The Bowl's Endowed Scholarship Program – operating since 2007 – is funded by additional $100,000 gifts to each university participating in the game that goes above and beyond the team payout.
In 2011, the program was expanded to include schools that compete for the $650,000 scholarship purse in the annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. These donations are used to create endowed scholarships for Atlanta students attending college. All told, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Endowed Scholarship program currently operates endowments at 30 universities with scholarship assets totaling more than $6.3 million.

Chief Medical Review Officer, Paul Teynor, MD, to be named Chief Medical Officer of WorkforceQA
After more than 28 years of providing Medical Review Officer (MRO) services, Paul Teynor, MD, Chief Medical Review Officer and Chief Medical Officer of WorkforceQA, LLC. will be reducing his involvement in day-to-day activities effective January 1, 2019. While scaling back his hours, Dr. Teynor will remain an important and influential member of WorkforceQA. He will continue to provide training and oversight of the MRO Staff, consult and provide training to employers and continue to provide his problem-solving skills to both. The MRO team will benefit from his decades of experience and technical expertise as they continue to provide best-in-class MRO services with a focus on compliance, efficiency and customer service.
Effective January 1, 2019, Michael Suls, DO will be Chief Medical Review Officer of WorkforceQA. Dr. Suls has been working as a MRO since 2005. He is residency trained and Board certified in Occupational Medicine. Dr. Suls is a Certified Commercial Driver Medical Examiner and was formerly a Flight Surgeon in the U.S. Navy. He joined WorkforceQA in December of 2016.
Dr. Teynor began his MRO career in 1990, became the first physician in the Intermountain West to be certified by the American Association of Medical Review Officers in 1992. Dr. Teynor started his own medical review operation, Intermountain MRO Services, which grew into one of the premier providers in the industry. In 2013, Intermountain MRO Services merged with WorkforceQA and Dr. Teynor was named Chief Medical Review Officer.
This transition will allow Dr. Teynor to spend more time pursuing his favorite activity: alpine skiing. "After nearly three decades of working as an MRO, I'm ready for a little less time on the phone and a little more time on the ski slopes. In my Chief Medical Officer role, I will continue to train, guide and support our excellent team of Medical Review Officers, and I will be available to assist clients when requested. I truly appreciate the relationships I have been able to build with our clients through the years, and the trust our clients have put in me. I am confident my team will continue to provide superior service to our clients as I transition to this new role. If you happen to make it to Salt Lake to ski, let me know and I'll meet you on the slopes." – Dr. Teynor

The ex-Coronation Street actress had a tough time on the set of the BBC drama...
Tonight's the night! In just a few short hours, Michelle Keegan will return to our screens in the new series of Our Girl.
If you've been keeping tabs on the actress's Instagram page this year, you'll know that she's had a pretty gruelling filming schedule.
She spent months in both South Africa and Malaysia, telling Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1's Breakfast Show today: 'I wasn't 100% sure there would be another series but I signed the option for there to be another.
See: Mark Wright Explains Just How Much He Misses Wife Michelle Keegan
'Obviously the first time it was for five episodes but this time it was for 12 so it's overly doubled. I didn't know that at the time either.
'It's been a long, long filming schedule. I was away for three months last time and this time I was in South Africa for three months and then I had three weeks off then I was in Malaysia for three months.'
Not only that, but Mich, 30, ended up with a few injuries on set.
She continued: 'We have done a lot of explosions and I've done the occasional stunt and I bruise like a peach so my body is bruised from head to toe.
'There's always a stunt and you can only do it once because it costs thousands. There was one with an explosion behind us and we had to get the timing perfect because the mats were buried under sand.
'The pressure was horrible. Everyone was filming on phones so the pressure was on.'
See: Michelle Keegan Reveals Our Girl Filming Has Made Her Gain A Stone
But it seems it was all worth it. Mich has been away from her husband Mark Wright for most of the year, as he takes on a new challenge presenting entertainment show Extra in LA.
Latest Stories
But he took to Instagram earlier today to share a cute selfie of them on the set of Our Girl together, writing: 'Finally it's here !! Tomo night on @bbc 9pm it's the launch of OUR GIRL !! Cannot wait !! This little ones hard work will all seem worth while. So proud of you @michkeegan 💚 [sic].'
Aw. We can't wait to tune in!

Google, Microsoft and Apple are vying for the coveted K–12 market. These three corporate giants have products and services they say will help overwhelmed educators carry their workload, boost student achievement and increase student interest. In some ways, all the products offer similar solutions, but there are also differences in the functions they are capable of supporting. Today, we are going to break down what each product is capable of achieving in the classroom.
Google Classroom
Over the last few years, Google Classroom has grown at exponential rates. Seeing the need in schools for inexpensive, easy-to-use solutions, they worked to develop solutions — and that effort paid off. Chromebooks account for 42% of school-provided devices.
- Google has consistently provided the more cost-conscious system. Chromebooks are inexpensive enough to replace if need be and Google Classroom is with free with G Suite Education
- The design is intuitive and easy to use, making it easier to adopt in classrooms. It includes features enabling teachers to create and share assignments with their classes. Students can work together online and teachers can send reminders to students
- A feature exclusive to Google is they provide a way for parents or guardians to receive updates on their child's performance
- G-Suite can be run on any device with an internet connection
- Many features of Google Classroom require an internet connection. In areas or schools with connectivity issues this can be a frustrating problem
- There is no gradebook function
- Chromebook offers very little memory on devices, which hinders running some classroom programs
- There have been student privacy concerns. In 2014, a class action lawsuit was filed against Google for data mining millions of students' emails. It was settled and Google stopped the practice
Microsoft Classroom
Microsoft made splashes recently with their Surface Laptop and Windows 10 S becoming available on less expensive devices. Now, the cost is competitive with Chromebook. The two systems are similar, but Microsoft did take the opportunity to address some issues educators have with Google.
- Microsoft devices offer more memory storage, so internet connections are not required to operate the device's functions
- Microsoft Teams on Office 365 Education give students and teachers a platform for collaboration. Teams was originally released as a tool for businesses to use. Duplicating the program into education gives students experience using a program they could encounter in their adult lives (along with all the other Microsoft Office products)
- Partnership with Microsoft offers access to innovative, high-tech experiments that can be conducted in classrooms with inexpensive materials
- Microsoft Classroom has a lot of versatility. It can integrate with over 30 learning management systems and deliver grades to a third-party gradebook. Quizzes can be created and shared easily with students. It also has co-teaching functionality
- Microsoft Classroom doesn't offer a way to send automatic updates to parents or guardians
- There is no built-in way to monitor students' devices like Apple offers, but it is possible with a third-party application
Apple Classroom
Where Google and Microsoft have very similar capabilities and devices, Apple sets itself apart. Not trying to offer inexpensive options, the company relies on brand loyalty and the quality of their products to entice schools into adopting their systems.
- Arguably, Apple's biggest asset is its name. People recognize it and want it. With the brand of Apple people expect a level of quality and many are already familiar with how their systems function
- Apple's Teaching Assistant enables teachers to control students' devices — turning them off and on
- Teachers can look to see what is on a student's screen
- Can only be used on iPads™
- Savvy students figure out quickly when a teacher is watching what they do and how to block it by switching the device to airplane mode
- Compared to Google and Microsoft, the functions available are limited
Each company brings something unique to the classroom. While some school districts have chosen to go exclusively with one company, others adopt a hybrid model dependent on their needs.

I have cancelled my membership in NAAF. They may do much good, but they have a lousy way to treat their members. They muffle members, they censor what members are allowed to say, and they shut out members that have something to say.
NAAF got an open facebook wall where members and those who have liked the page can discuss and tip other members of news and important asthma and allergy information. Occationally NAAF care to answer themselves. So a lot of us have linked related information and research we have found online and we have been both polite, well-mannered, and talked about the subject asthma and allergy. Many of us have been very interested in this perfume issue and posted a lot about this on NAAF facebook pages. They argued and told us to stop telling people about this perfume issue. We on the other hand thought it was too little about it both in media and on NAAF itself. There has been chockingly little information about this through the years. And people were blocked from the facebook wall for commenting about this, lacks and the perfume issue. NOTE! THIS IS EVEN THOUGH PERFUME IS ON NAAF AGENDA FOR THE PERIODE 2011-2013!
And could you believe. The media person on NAAF staff run a firm where perfumed and paraben filled products are sold. That is an absolute shame, a scandal! This is an organisation that is working for those who get sick from among other things Perfume. NAAF themselves have a strict policy for what is allowed in products branded with the NAAF logo, and then a person of their staff sells through her firm perfume and paraben filled products. That ladies and gentlemen is sitting on two chairs at the same time. How can a person work for both for perfume and against without falling between the two? Not possible if you ask me. She earns money on the perfume industry and are supposed to work against perfume use through NAAF.
After have mailing NAAF Midt last weekend I got information from the local NAAF in Ålesund about that NAAF will not attend in Ålesund about the perfume issue. I got disapointed, irritated and I got mad. NAAF Ålesund has not joined in any of the happenings NAAF Norway has arranged at all the last 11 years.
All of this is why I have decided to cancel my membership in NAAF.
It has nothing to do with whether they are on the right track or not. I like the perfume campaign and support it fully, but I do not like that they completely ignore Ålesund and the area here, and the other mess they are doing. Here have been only silence over the years while I've lived here, 11 years, and I have not heard of NAAF in Ålesund over the heads of the 11 years neither in the media, at shopping centers, the hospital, promotions, on the streets or squares, or mail. The only time I heard about the NAAF in Ålesund was when they announced on the job as secretary. I applied for the job but the job went to other woman instead. I have no problem with the case I did not get the job, but I have not heard of / from NAAF either before or after the job ad. I have cancelled the membership because I am tired of them ignoring the area.
Ålesund is a desert on the NAAF map, nothing happens here.
I expect to get something in return for the money I pay to NAAF, but here in Ålesund is absolutely nothing.
On top of it, when I told them my thoughts about this whole thing they blocked me from their wall. That was the drop. It made my patience run dry.
It is a nasty way of treating members to shut them down. Even worse when they muffle members with important information on the perfume issue, and they do not do their job in the area here and have worked hard on their own to get the complaints.
It sucks. I had enough.

Using a process for gathering and organizing information will help you to be consistent, thorough, and effective.
Notes form the foundation of the documentation that project teams use to guide their work. Taking notes is also important because it helps us process information. Putting our thoughts into words forces us to apply a certain level of logical scrutiny that our ideas might otherwise escape. Writing things down not only helps us solidify what we know, it helps us identify what we don't know. The following is largely inspired by David Allen's Getting Things Done and Michael Descy's Plaintext Productivity. Establishing a workflow involves some trial-and-error; expect to change it to fit your circumstances and working style. This process requires little more than a basic text editor, and could even be implemented using paper if needed. Your habitual use of the process is far more important than the tools you use.
To-Do List
The cornerstone of any productivity system is a to-do list. I think it's important to have one place for all your tasks. This makes it easy to review and prioritize. To-do items should be actionable, but don't let that prevent you from capturing a to-do item; just make it a goal to develop vague to-dos into more specific, actionable tasks as you refine the list. The Todo.txt method provides a simple set of rules that allow you to prioritize tasks, add due dates, associate items to projects, and add other metadata. Archiving completed to-dos can help you track what you've done and build a sense of forward motion.
The oft-overlooked complement to the to-do list is a journal. I frequently find myself working on something that never hit my to-do list. I find that keeping a journal helps me quickly answer questions about what I've been working on. This is very handy, for example, at daily stand-up meetings. When giving status updates, it's easier to summarize your journal than to recall from memory. A journal can also help you stay on task by reminding you of what you were just working on before you were interrupted. Reviewing journal entries can help you see if your activities align with your priorities. A journal is not necessarily a timesheet; it should record significant events such as setting up a meeting or sending out a document. You will have to select a level of detail that works in your circumstances.
Information Capture (aka Taking Notes)
Capturing information can be very demanding. Taking notes during a meeting can feel like drinking from a fire hose, especially if you don't type very fast. (I don't type very fast.) Using some form of shorthand can help. Most of the people I talk to develop their own abbreviations. Capturing audio can be helpful, but be sure to alert attendees that the meeting will be recorded. It can also be challenging to filter out unimportant information. Revise your notes immediately and send requests for clarification if needed. Set an organizational scheme for your notes, such as one topic per file, and keep it up to date. Keep a list of sources – like a bibliography. This will help you answer questions about the origin of an idea. Your sources could be emails, documents, even conversations in the hallway.
Create and Maintain Documentation
As an analyst, you gather information on complex and, often, time-sensitive topics. The end product of your work is, in part, documentation that helps other people quickly understand these topics in a way that is useful to them. I try to keep a high-level document for each project I'm working on. This is basically a project charter with some additions. I find it helpful to review and refine this information on a regular basis. It helps me keep the project goals in mind over the long term, track important developments and milestones, and provides a nice resource for newcomers. Suggested sections include:
- Overview - What is this and why is it important?
- Goals/Objectives - What are specific things we want to achieve?
- Open Questions - What do we need to know and how might we find out?
- Next Steps - What do we need to do next and who is responsible?
- Who is involved - Team Members, SMEs, Sponsors
- Resources - Project or topic-specific references and bookmarks
I use markdown to format my notes. This helps to keep them readable and organized. It can also help you out if you ever need to convert your notes to another format. A utility like pandoc can turn markdown-formatted documents into HTML or a dozen other formats. There are a number of other lightweight markup formats like AsciiDoc and reStructuredText. Also, I use git to track changes to my notes and to keep them backed up. Keeping a history helps me, personally, to feel safe keeping my notes up to date because I'm not "losing" content that I remove.

21 Nov What Makes Jagged Edge Mountain Gear Special
When Jagged Edge last manufactured product in the early 2000s, it had succumbed to the industry norm of depending on a remote supply chain based mostly in Asia.
In fact today, as noted by industry expert and alpinist Kurt Gray, "except for a hand-full of exceptions (including Jagged Edge) most outdoor gear is made their products on the other side of the planet."
This manufacturing model is not what Jagged Edge owner and mountain enthusiast Erik Dalton had in mind for his new product line. As someone who has a deep love for the environment and sustainable practices, it was a fortuitous meeting when Erik was introduced by a former Jagged Edge employee to Kurt Gray.
Both Erik and Kurt are committed to making products in the U.S. where as Kurt notes, "production cycles are shortened, environmental laws are followed, labor dollars stay close to home, there's less waste and glut and ultimately, it consumes a much smaller carbon footprint…it's better for everyone; ourselves, our local communities and the planet."
Currently, Kurt manages all of Jagged Edge's manufacturing with a small team in a shop in Broomfield, Colorado. With access to operators, technicians and various supply chain necessities for sewn goods manufacturing, this shop in the Boulder-Denver corridor is in an ideal location. Moving forward, both Kurt and Erik are looking to grow this space into a full service design and production facility that can serve both an expanded Jagged Edge product line as well as other home-grown companies looking for production space.
But there's more to the Jagged Edge "Made in U.S.A." strategy. Not only are they manufacturing products themselves right here in Colorado, they are producing products in small-batches with almost exclusively made in America fabrics and materials; including Polartec, Brookwood, Ideal and Dimension Polyant. The exception is Swiss-made Schoeller Dynamic used in outerwear. The products are to consumers online and in person at the Jagged Edge Mountain Gear store in Telluride. Colorado.
Being at the forefront of the American resurgence in small-batch local manufacturing (similar to what has happened with the micro-beer industry) and selling direct to consumers allows Jagged Edge to offer the very best technical apparel, made with the best materials, at a competitive price.
As Kurt Gray puts it, "Jagged Edge as an outdoor specialty retailer is "the real deal" and unique in the industry. It sources the hard to find, best specialty products globally while sewing what it can locally. The shop presents an array of familiar and trusted names from across the technical outdoor market as well as the shop's own "Made in the U.S.A." apparel in an even-handed way. There's no guilt, no judgement, no David vs. Goliath story. You're free to choose how your dollars will work for you and then make a buying decision within a win-win retail environment."
Although our Jagged Edge offerings are currently limited, there has been recognition. Two designs were selected to compete for the APEX Award, an innovation-based award given out by Polartec. There are plans to expand the line, creating additional technical and unique products featuring some of the best fabrics and materials on the planet, all made as close to Colorado as possible.
We hope you'll visit our website often and spend some time looking at the offerings in our online store. We're very proud of what we are doing and believe that equipment you buy from us will be cherished long into the future.
Of course when you are in Telluride, come by and visit us at our store at 223 E. Colorado Ave (Main Street). We'd love to meet you in person.

Marketing comes in a form of communication with the target market in the hopes of selling them a service or product.
In this digital world of rising technology, marketers should either be up to track or lose out in this game.
The 2017 trends will get marketers right on track to meet their goals of increasing marketing reach.
1. Embrace content marketing
Content marketing is a strategic way to distribute information and attract targeted audience. The key is to have consistency of postings and sharing of e.g. blogs, videos, slides, etc… on different platforms of social medias – be it LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and the list goes on…
2. Experiment social video
"LIVE" will be most likely the "in" word in 2017. It is the easiest and fastest way for companies to get in touch with customers and/or consumers. Social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, have gone crazy on mobile live steaming. Brands have the potential to release engaging content, conduct marketing around an event, or even pay influencers to feature their products.
- Company Facebook Pages streamed almost 200 live videos in June 2016 – 6x as many as they streamed in January 2016.
- Media publishers post nearly 18x more videos on average each month than the top company Pages.

3. The rise of artificial communication
With the rise of digital experience among users, companies and/or brands must take customers and/or consumers communication to a whole new level. Users now prefer immediate solutions and this is where Live Chats are made available for them. This will increase the user's brand experience from enquiring to purchasing at all stages of the customer's journey with a live agent.
4. Personalization
Nobody dislike "personalization". Customers will always feel that companies have done it specially for them! This makes the whole brand experience meaningful and closer to the heart of the customer. Targeting consumers on an individual level based on their specific habits and interest makes personalization of marketing strategies and/or message easier. After all, it is all about capturing exactly what they are looking for or considering about!
5. Interactivity
As digital trends are changing at a fast pace, companies and brands must consider various multimedia elements into their marketing strategies – e.g. videos in emails, brand storytelling through videos, live streaming, etc… Users are looking forward for more a personal connection with brands.
