The High Cost of Pharmaceuticals
November 04, 2015
The United States pays more than any other country for both pharmaceuticals and healthcare in general. These treatments are undoubtedly helpful, and good for both the health of our nation and the economy as a whole. However, the skyrocketing price has made it difficult for many to afford the treatments that they need, and payers are increasingly shifting the costs to consumers. Pricing is not always consistent between payers, and the role of government-funded Medicaid and Medicare make the already congested healthcare market more complex and intricate. One potential solution is allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies in order to lower prices. Doing so could allow the nearly 50 million people on medicare to pay more affordable prices, putting a dent in the amount that Americans pay for healthcare.
High Cost of Treatments
It is often helpful to consider the high costs of pharmaceuticals in context of their role in the larger economy and U.S. as a whole. Due in part to the development of new treatments and cures, in the last 100 years, the U.S. life expectancy has increased from 47 years to 78 years.[1] Additionally, in the past fifteen years, 5 year survival rates are up 39 percent across all cancers.[2] Death rates for HIV/AIDS has fallen 85% since its peak in 1995,[3] and therapies have cured more than 90% of hepatitis C cases.[4] However, to many people, the high cost of pharmaceuticals make treatments prohibitively expensive. Insurance companies handle most of the costs for most individuals, but those with lower coverage or no insurance are often faced with the brunt of the bill.
If development of pharmaceuticals slows, the United States faces huge problems in the massive cost of managing diseases with ineffective treatments. If the United States were to develop a treatment to delay the onset of Alzheimer's by just five years, it is expected that the United States would save $367 billion by 2050.[5] Curing diseases with expensive therapies is usually still better than managing a chronic disease over a patient's life. Chronic diseases account for most of the expenses in our healthcare industry, and 86% of all healthcare spending in 2010 was for people with one or more chronic condition.[6]
Health Affairs
The high cost of pharmaceuticals is due mostly to the rising cost of production and research/development activities. To every drug that makes it to market, consumers and payers are paying not only for the final product, but also every failed product along the way. While many tote that the drugs themselves often times cost $10 or less to manufacture, the cost to bring these drugs to markets is on average $2.6 billion.[7] In addition, it takes ten years to get to this stage. Pharmaceutical companies feel that they are forced to charge these extraordinary prices in order to stay afloat with the risky nature of their industry.
Pharmaceutical companies argue that the prices of their treatments are reasonable when considering the healthcare industry as a whole. Prescription drug retail pricing accounts for 10% of the total U.S. healthcare spending, the same relative amount spent in 1960.[8] However, this amount is far lower in many other countries. These countries, such as the United Kingdom, often have their own government-sponsored bulk purchasers. Pharma companies are forced to sell through these government corporations, many of whom don't like to barter. Pharma companies in these areas exert less purchasing power when compared to the United States, in which individual insurance groups, hospitals, and plans buy for consumers.[9] Medicare, one of the largest buyers of prescription drugs, is not able to directly negotiate with sellers like German nonprofit insurers can. They are simply an idle player in the pricing market, taking the lowest price negotiated by independent insurance companies.
Drug Pricing by Payer
The prices for prescription drugs differ very significantly across insurers, government programs, and providers, even given the same exact product and the same manufacturer. There are many different ways to calculate drug costs, and each given purchaser of drugs pays a different price that is based upon how well they are able to negotiate a low price with the manufacturer. Often, the method for calculating these prices (especially among private insurance plans) is not very transparent.[10] Both Medicaid and Medicare, however, provide information and data sets describing how their prices are calculated, and many private insurers base their payment benchmarks and negotiations on these two government payors' methods.[11]
In Medicare, most prescription drugs are purchased through the Part D drug benefit, under which the Medicare program and seniors pay a premium so that beneficiaries can shop and enroll in a private drug plan. Drugs in these plans may be priced in a variety of ways based on private market standards.[12] Drugs may also be provided in traditional Medicare (Part A and Part B)– in Part A, drugs are included in the diagnosis-related group (DRG) pricing system that Medicare uses for all hospital services.[13] For Part B, Medicare pays the average sales price, which is an average of the reported sale prices of a given drug, weighted by volume and calculated using data that is about six months old. The program adds a 6% flat markup onto the ASP for any given Medicare drug to account for differences in provider acquisition costs and handling costs for all drugs.[14] This current system was implemented in 2005, mandated by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, and was intended to create government reimbursements that more accurately reflect the actual purchase price of prescriptions drugs (which at the provider or insurer level often include manufacturer discounts and negotiations that are not seen in the sticker price).[15]
Kaiser Family Foundation
Medicaid, like Medicare, has a variety of ways to pay for drugs. Many Medicaid beneficiaries are not in managed care plans, which means that the payment for those drugs is negotiated at the plan level and is not entirely transparent.[16] In fee-for-service Medicaid, most states reimburse for drugs based upon an "Estimated Acquisition Cost" which are created by a state Medicaid agency, and are based on the Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) or Average Wholesale Price (AWP) which are typically the listed or sticker prices for drugs. The AWP is related to the WAC (it is roughly 1.2x the WAC for non-branded pharmaceuticals) and the EAC as calculated by the states is usually either a percent reduction to the AWP or a percentage increase to the WAC.[17] However, most states also collect rebates on the drugs that they purchase through the national Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, and those rebates are typically calculated as a percentage of the Average Manufacturer Price (AMP), which is the price available for drugs sold in the retail class of trade and includes most of the manufacturer discounts.[18] States are limited on the prices they can pay for drugs by the Federal Upper Limit (FUL) price, above which the federal government will not provide Medicaid matching funds for drugs. The FUL prices are created by CMS for multiple-source drugs and are historically about 150% of the lowest listed price for that drug in national pricing compendia.[19] The states also set their own limits, the maximum allowable costs (MAC) for multiple-source drugs, which are usually the lowest price amongst several different pricing formulas, including the FUL and the state's EAC.[20]
A Possible Solution?
In order to counteract the skyrocketing costs of drugs, several reforms have been proposed. One reform that has recently gained traction is allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, so let's explore it in detail. As talked about above, most Medicare prescription drugs are purchased through Part D. Medicare Part D prescription account for about 7% of sales in the global pharmaceutical market, giving them lots of leverage for negotiating drug prices[21]. However, Medicare is barred from negotiating drug prices with pharmaceutical companies for Part D prescriptions. This was one of the terms the Bush administration agreed to in exchange for support of the pharmaceutical industry's support of the Part D program, which was created in 2003.[22] As a federal programs like Medicaid or the Veterans Benefit Administration[23]. In fact, Medicare Part result, prescription drugs covered under Medicare Part D are priced at much higher levels than in other D pays an average of 73% more than Medicaid and 80% more than the VBA for brand name drugs[24].
Studies estimate that Medicare's drug tab could be lowered by somewhere between $15.2 billion and $16 billion a year if the federal government was allowed to directly negotiate prices with drug companies to secure the same prices that that Medicaid or VBA receive[25].
The Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America (the main lobbying group for the Pharmaceutical industry) usually has a two pronged response to allowing Medicare to negotiate prices. First they argue that the Part D program has been widely successful at keeping total costs low because it was $349 billion lower than initial CBO 10-year projections[26]. But the reason for that $349 billion shortfall wasn't because of how good Part D was at cutting costs. It was because the number of new enrollments for Medicare were far below what the projections in the CBO report. Secondly, drug companies say that this move would decrease incentives for drug companies to invest in research and development[27]. That claim is just not supported by the evidence. Data shows that the introduction of rebates for Medicaid (as a result of negotiations) had no impact on research and development of antipsychotics, drugs which are disproportionately used by Medicaid recipients[28].
Granted, Medicare negotiations aren't a comprehensive solution to the problem of high drug prices. Medicare isn't allowed to exclude overly expensive drugs from their coverage or maintain an approved drug list, so their leverage might be limited[29]. These negotiations also won't do anything to curb rising drug prices for the millions of Americans on private insurance plans[30]. But even with all these pitfalls, Medicare negotiations would put a significant dent in the amount of money that Americans spend each year on prescription medications[31]. So even though it's not perfect, Medicare negotiations seem like a sensible step forward.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Keep Your Large Appliances Clean
Check your major electrical appliances to make sure there isn't any dust clogging them and that they're fairly clean. Look behind the them and use your vacuum's hose attachment to gently get rid of dust. Check the vents, especially on your refrigerator and clothes dryer to make sure they are free of dust and lint. They run more efficiently when they are clean. Also, replace your furnace filters regularly to keep your heating and cooling unit functioning efficiently, and also to prevent allergens from invading your home.
Avoid ATMs with Hefty Fees
This may seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how much this can add up. ATM fees can range between $1-$3 for each transaction. While it can tempting to hit up the gas station for cash, wait until you get to your bank or credit union. Do you get money back at certain gas stations or grocery stores? Make sure to take advantage of the places you get discounts even if it means going a little out of your way. By going the extra mile you'll be amazed at how it adds up.

My habit of watching stuff on TV months after everyone else has seen it continues.... I just finished watching Ken Burns' documentary on World War II, aptly titled The War.
I am quite glad I waited to watch this, as I had time to gather opinions from others who watched it as it was televised, particularly from my friends who, like me, are very interested in military history. They said pretty much the same thing: "It was good, but not great. I thought I would LOVE it, and I didn't. I only liked it."
So I sat down to watch it with lowered expectations, and because I expected less, I was pleased and surprised when I ended up liking it A LOT--maybe I didn't LOVE it, but it was close.
There were a few moments where I got to feel smart, because I knew what was coming: I am interested in the Battle of the Bulge--the name just arouses curiosity, and it began on my birthday--so I knew what was going on when the narrator mentioned that German troops started moving into the Ardennes in December 1944. (Though I admit I never made it through all of Band of Brothers--just found it too tedious and didn't care for some of the actors.) I thought I knew the significance of the USS Indianapolis, since I had read all about its sinking, and the horrible blunders that led to about 900 men, originally hopeful of rescue, bobbing along for days in shark-infested water without food, potable water or lifeboats. (The reason the grisly old shark hunter in Jaws hated the animals so much was that he was a survivor of the Indianapolis, which is often called "the worst naval disaster in US history," though more men died on the USS Arizona--I guess it's that whole fighting off sharks thing, which could have been avoided had anyone paid attention to the fact that the Indianapolis didn't show up at dock when it was supposed to, that makes it worse.) I did not know, however, that when it was torpedoed and sunk, it was returning from delivering the first atomic bomb to Tinian.
One thing I really liked about the series was its use of Eugene Sledge, whose memoir With the Old Breed is one of my favorite books and has been called by a number of military historians "One of the finest memoirs to emerge from any war" (Paul Fussell) and "one of the most important accounts of war that I have ever read" (John Keegan). I teach it often and students find it profoundly moving and almost life-changing--you read it and you realize how much you don't know, how much you'll never know, how much separates combat veterans from those of us who either merely read about such things or simply don't want to know. I can't recommend it highly enough. Here's one of the passages we often refer to in classes, about the fighting on Okinawa:
The mud was knee deep in some places, probably deeper in others if one dared venture there. For several feet around every corpse, maggots crawled about in the muck and then were washed away by the runoff of the rain. There wasn't a tree or bush left. All was open country. Shells had torn up the turf so completely that ground cover was nonexistent. The rain poured down on us as evening approached. The scene was nothing but mud; shell fire, flooded craters with the silent, pathetic, rotting occupants; knocked-out tanks and amtracs; and discarded equipment--utter desolation.
The stench of death was overpowering. The only way I could bear the monstrous horror of it all was to look upward from the earthly reality surrounding us, watch the leaden gray clouds go skudding over, and repeat over and over to myself that the situation was unreal--just a nightmare--and that I would soon awake and find myself somewhere else. But the ever-present smell of death saturated my nostrils. It was there with every breath I took.
I existed from moment to moment, sometimes thinking death would have been preferable. We were in the depths of the abyss, the ultimate horror of war. During the fighting around the Umurbrogal Pocket on Peliliu, I had been depressed by the wastage of human lives. But in the mud and driving rain before Shuri, we were surrounded by maggots and decay. Men struggled and fought and bled in an environment so degrading I believed we had been flung into hell's own cesspool.
.... We didn't talk about such things. They were too horrible and obscene even for hardened veterans. The conditions taxed the toughest I knew almost to the point of screaming. Nor do authors normally write about such vileness; unless they have seen it with their own eyes, it is too preposterous to think that men could actually live and fight for days and nights on end under such terrible conditions and not be driven insane. But I saw much it there on Okinawa and to me the war was insanity.
I was also struck to see Paul Fussell lose his composure and tear up. Fussell is an old acquaintance of mine; at least, that's how I think of him. I first encountered him in an undergraduate creative writing class on poetic forms, via his first book, Poetic Meter and Poetic Form (which is still in print 40 years after its original publication). But it was his book about World War I, The Great War and Modern Memory, that made me a fan of his analyses of the literature and actual events of modern warfare. In print, Fussell comes across as unsentimental and cynical--or, in his terms, "a pissed-off infantryman." He is notorious for a very provocative essay called "Thank God for the Atom Bomb." I put that essay in a special place when I discuss his work, preferring to focus on the other ways in which he has "given the Second World War a uniformly bad press, rejecting all attempts to depict it as a sensibly proceeding or to mitigate its cruelty and swinishness" (Fussell, "My War"). If you watch many documentaries about war, you see him all the time, and the voice of that pissed-off infantry man is so strong, and he's so stoic in most of his appearances, that it was shocking to me to see him begin to cry.
One other thing I liked about the series was that it serves as a good antidote to an attitude I have encountered a time or two in my classes: the sense that the real war was fought in Europe, that the only war that mattered was the one against the Nazis. A student in my class actually said once, when we read Sledge, "It's good to learn about the war in the Pacific, because you just don't hear much about it. It's pretty obvious that it really wasn't that important."
"I'd have to disagree with that," I said. "After all, World War Two started and ended for us in the Pacific."
"World War Two started in Europe; everyone knows that," he said.
"We didn't enter the war until Pearl Harbor, remember?" I said. "The Japanese attacked us, and then we declared war on both Japan and Germany. Germany invaded Poland in September, 1939, but we didn't enter the war until December 1941."
"Well, at the time, people weren't as concerned about the war with the Japanese," he insisted.
"Yes, they were," I said. "My dad was nine when the war started, and he was obsessed with Guadalcanal. My mother was four when the war started, and she had nightmares about the Japs coming to get her. Plus we rounded up all people of Japanese descent and put them in internment camps, remember? We didn't do anything to people of German or Italian descent, even though those countries were our enemies too. And don't forget who we dropped the atom bombs on." But he just wouldn't budge. To him, the war in the Pacific didn't have the veneer of nobility conferred after the fighting by the liberation of the inmate of the Nazi death camps--the full horror of which American politicians, military planners and the press downplayed, even after the Russians, who found them first, issued reports on them--so it wouldn't matter as much to history, and couldn't have mattered as much while it was going on.
Anyway. I found the series worth my time. I was moved and informed by it, and I hope that if you haven't seen it, you'll take the time to watch it.

Slough Lib Dems Combat Climate Change and Brexit
Campaigning to Stop Brexit is important for many reasons, including combating climate change. Slough Lib Dems are campaigning on both issues.
In the last weekend of August, Slough Lib Dems joined the Defend Democracy protest on Eton Bridge against Boris Johnson's plans to shut down Parliament at a time of national crisis, and also published letters in the local papers setting out 5 achievable wins in Slough against climate change.
Combating climate change requires international cooperation and the EU has already taken some important steps, and Lib Dem Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are pressing for further measures. Other steps must be taken at national and local levels.
Slough Liberal Democrats welcome the motion on Climate Change that was passed at the Slough Borough Council meeting of 23rd July 2019, but it was Slough Lib Dems who publicly called for a Climate Emergency to be declared by Slough Borough Council in a press release on 27th March. In a letter to the papers in August 2019, Robert Plimmer, chair of Slough Lib Dems, identified five policy items which can be implemented and achieved by December 2020. These include:
- Greater installation of street located electric vehicle charging points.
- Making public transport across Slough more affordable to residents and visitors.
- Slough Borough Council to be carbon-neutral by 2020 - as proposed by Robert Plimmer in 7thOctober 2008, when he served as a Lib Dem Councillor, and accepted by all councillors.
- Increasing the amount and variety of items that can be recycled.
- Improving and more actively publicising the traffic-free cycle routes away from busy main roads across Slough.
Full details of the Robert Plimmer's letter can be read here: Slough Climate Emergency -5 achievable wins
The Slough Lib Dem campaign to improve our environment is long-standing and operates at many levels, including campaigning for national and Slough-wide action, as above, and directly working with local communities to improve the environment in which we live.
The photo shows Lib Dem campaigners Matthew Taylor, who also joined the recent Defend Democracy protest on Eton Bridge, and Robert Plimmer leading community action in Cippenham to remove litter from some local pathways.

Medicare Options Made Easy
Medicare Options Made Easy!
Don't Pay More for your Medicare Prescription Drug Costs than you need to!
Even if you are already enrolled in Medicare Part D, Wisconsin Advantage may be able to show you how to reduce your costs
Learn More about a tailored Wisconsin Advantage Solution, we make it easy!
TAILORED WISCONSIN ADVANTAGE SOLUTION: Medicare Options Made Easy!
Does Medicare Require Me to have prescription coverage?
- Yes, Medicare requires you to have "creditable" prescription coverage while enrolled in Medicare. Most people choose to enroll in a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP). Veteran's coverage and Employer benefits oftentimes would be considered "creditable". In Wisconsin there is a State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program called Senior Care RX which is also considered creditable.
- If you become eligible for Medicare and have no creditable coverage you may be required to pay a Late Enrollment Penalty in the future.
How do I find the lowest cost prescription drug plan for my needs?
- Many people on Medicare get inundated with mail and marketing to the point where it is difficult to know which option to choose. Wisconsin Advantage is a licensed brokerage agency which means we can offer multiple options. Our licensed agents will complete a no-cost, comprehensive review of your situation to help determine which options will offer you the lowest overall costs.
- Everyone is different and the options that fit for one person's prescription needs may not fit for others. It is important to work with a team like Wisconsin Advantage that can take the time to analyze your needs and tailor you a solution. We will even help you determine if you may qualify for other non-insurance assistance programs that can greatly reduce your monthly drug costs.
- Wisconsin Advantage agents are highly trained and will be able to provide you with a comprehensive analysis including:
- Potential ways to save money by applying for state and federal programs.
- How Medicare Parts A, B, C and D work.
- A thorough review of your medications, how they are covered and a monthly cost breakdown.
- A menu of choices for prescription drug and healthcare needs. Many of our members pay no monthly premium, in addition to Medicare Part B's premium, to receive high quality health and drug benefits.
What is different about how Wisconsin Advantage Helps me?
- Wisconsin Advantage is dedicated to the communities we serve.
- Our office is located in the Appleton Wisconsin area and we have agents throughout the entire state.
- We conducted dozens of events each year throughout our communities in Wisconsin to help people understand how Medicare works and how to access state and federal programs.
- There are many people who qualify for state and federal programs that could greatly reduce their costs and quality of life yet many people don't understand how they work. We help our customers navigate those options.
- Wisconsin Advantage is a Medicare focused agency
- Many insurance agencies work with multiple lines of insurance such as life, annuities, property etc. Wisconsin Advantage's specialty is Medicare insurance options. This ensures our agents are highly trained and the service they deliver is at the highest standard of care and quality.
Why a Brokerage agency versus calling an insurance company?
- There are many GREAT insurance companies out there that offer outstanding products. However, each insurance company has different ways they cover medications, providers, travel and additional benefits. By choosing a brokerage agency like Wisconsin Advantage you will have many choices. We will not only offer many choices but we will complete a comprehensive analysis of your situation to make sure the choices we are offering you meet your specific needs. We do all the work to find the right insurance company options that meet your needs so you don't have to.
What can I expect from working with a Wisconsin Advantage?
- Wisconsin Advantage agents are knowledgeable, professional and friendly.
- Wisconsin Advantage will be an advocate for you! We will help tailor solutions that are based on your needs.
- We make it easy for you!
- You will have a dedicated licensed agent who will be there for you when you need them.
- Insurance options can change every year so your dedicated Wisconsin Advantage licensed agent will stay updated on industry and product changes. Each year they will review your plan with you to ensure it still meets your unique needs.
Wisconsin Advantage's home office is located in Menasha, WI. We service the Fox Valley and entire state of Wisconsin and have licensed agents available to help you face to face regardless of where you live in Wisconsin.
Our mission is to provide compassionate advice to the people and communities we serve!
Our brokerage agency works with multiple insurance companies to ensure we have solutions for every situation. We also understand state and federal assistance programs that oftentimes coordinate with Medicare prescription drug plans.
If you are currently receiving Medicare or becoming eligible due to turning 65 or disability let our experienced and highly trained team complete an analysis for you. Our consultation is always at no cost and no obligation and includes:
◦ Review of state and federal assistance programs and guidance on how to apply. Many people are unaware that assistance programs exist and are not receiving all of the benefits they could be.
◦ How Medicare Parts A, B, C and D work.
◦ A thorough review of your medications, how they are covered and a monthly cost breakdown.
◦ Recommendation of insurance options based on lowest overall costs.
Wisconsin Advantage licensed agents have saved hundreds of people thousands of dollars by educating them on the assistance programs available and coordinating those programs with low cost prescription drug plans.
Our team has helped over 3,000 Medicare beneficiaries in WI find the right Medicare options.
Medicare Advantage
Wisconsin Advantage agents attend regular training and events to be certified to offer nationally recognized carriers' products for the areas we operate in.
Medicare Supplement
Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan
If you decide not to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Part D) when you are first eligible, and you don't have other creditable prescription drug coverage or don't get Extra Help, you'll likely pay a late enrollment penalty when you do join a plan.
Contact us at 1-844-364-9496
or complete this FORM and
a licensed sales agent will contact you within 24 hours to discuss your Medicare options.

Kenji Nakayama was born in Tomakomai on the island of Hokkaido, Japan in 1979. A mechanical engineer by education, Nakayama made a significant life change in 2004 with a move to Boston, Massachusetts to study traditional sign painting and to dedicate his time and energy to artmaking. Nakayama's diverse practice ranges from lettering, pinstriping and gold leaf to handcut, multilayered stencil paintings. Each intricately carved stencil painting is a unique manifestation of documenting and responding to the environment surrounding him, and often takes months to complete. His work serves as a personal diary of experience and influence, and his process can be described as a balance between meditation and highlytrained craftsmanship.
Nakayama's work has been exhibited widely across the US and abroad in numerous solo and group exhibitions. He attended a mechanical institute from 1998 to 2002 in Tokyo, and studied traditional sign painting at Butera School of Arts from 2004 to 2006 in Boston. Nakayama worked as a footwear designer at Converse from 2008 to 2013. In 2013, he began working with the Boston based sign painting company Best Dressed Signs, in addition to working on independent projects (2013-2014). He currently lives and works in Boston.

Fast Pace, Lots of information to learn, Overall a helpful course.
Environment and facilities are very good, for training slides can be used so we don't have to write stuffs. overall it was good experience for me thanks a lot.
Tutor: Very enthusiastic, Knowledgeable, Friendly and helpful. Encourages questions. Course: Would have been better one day a week so we had time to go explore in more depth the days topic, as it lot of content to cover during the course. Environment: Great location. Some keyboards need replacing as my keys didn't work very well. Staff: All very friendly and helpful.
Course was taught at a fast pace with very good examples. The tutor did very well to cover the topics. I liked the tutor's practical labs. The exam question sample could have been bit better prepared (not a word document) but it was good to discuss as a classroom Q&A. Also thanks for tea and coffee :)
Course is well structured, trainer is very knowledgeable. Will highly recommend him for any future Java, JSP, Spring/Hibernate courses. Learning environment is good staff very friendly and approachable. Overall everything is very good, will definitely recommend to my friends.
Excellent tutor, really helpful, took time to show me the work as I'm just beginning with programming. Great for future courses that I want to do. thank you
The course was very good and enjoyable. the tutor covered all areas, I'm more than satisfied and I will recommend training at this institution to anyone I know, Instructor in further stages. Thank you I will be back.
Excellent !
Tutor was very good.
Trainer was very good at explaining things with good examples
Incredibly knowledgeable and explains clearly.
Very good tutor, explained complex content very well and was patient
Good tutor answered all questions, very patient tutor.
Tutor was Fantastic
Tutor is very knowledgeable and able to simplify complex concepts.
The teaching standard is high, facilities are clean and tidy, staff are friendly and useful, I think it is necessary to upgrade of the state of the higher level requirement of the course, so as not to confuse the "learner" or the "teacher" I have found that although I know "how to" use a PC the course itself needs quite a deep understanding that I think reading the book alone, or even investigating on the net cannot aid. I therefore suggest and entry test of some kind can be designed.
Brilliant tutor and best price course and value for money course. I have paid £££ before and trust me they don't give anything extra or better than more seating space and lunches
Course - good overview of Java programming, content appropriate. Trainer - excellent knowledge, very fast pace, could be structured towards oracle certification. does help and supportive. Learning environment - some of the room too hot Staff - very helpful and pleasant.
Very good course, learning environment is professional and friendly. Trainer very regular in terms of time. He has come with plans which are the best thing. I learnt a lot from Kishore I like teaching method.
Course was very good, well structured. Only down side was student's skill + knowledge. Perhaps a questionnaire before allocating a student to class might help.
Very happy and content with what I have learned from the course. The tutor is well learned too so the whole 5 days session was worthy.

Joseph Coolidge to Martha Jefferson Randolph
|dear M.—
|[1 Jan. 1829]
I doubt not your anxiety to hear from our new comer will make a letter welcome altho. it dates but two days after the one announcing his first arrival: Ellen is quite well, and her infant—although he did make his appearance three weeks too soon is thriving—being what mrs Christian calls "an uncommon [. . .] strong child"!

With sizzling saga and entertainment that overcomes all limitations, car racing games are launched with cars racing to defeat friction and cross milestones that is a wonder in itself. They have the most amazing games but just know that on their race games that you are most likely going to be racing in a rocket, on skis, or some such other silly stuff in their games since soon after all this is a cartoon internet site. Racing on the streets is for does that want to really feel some adrenaline, or just to impress other individuals but it typically end badly. Simulators such as iRacing and rFactor are maybe the most generally utilised by true racing teams. 1 of the auto racing games that has stood the test of time is the Need for Speed series. Every day, new games are getting launched and men and women take inept interest in playing these games. As far as drag racing goes, I often inform people that if you had been deaf and blind you would nevertheless be capable to inform when a best fuel automobile left the line. The vehicle will go a small bit left, but you will be fine with a excellent handle over your auto.
IRacing utilizes three distinct servers that make up for the network of racing and has a participation method for getting paid to race for ten weeks in a wide assortment of classes. He still has his Corvette Super Gas car but due to a back injury hasn't raced in a whilst. Scottish BMW Compact Cup – Scotland's newest racing Championship – featuring BMW Compact Saloons (1994 to 2001). Drag Racing is by far a lot more enjoyable and thrilling then watching a pack of vehicles going about in a circle 500 times.
Scottish Formula Ford – Frequently regarded as the purest kind of motor racing, these 1600cc Ford Kent powered, open-wheeled racers have spawned the careers of some of Scotland's leading racing talent with the series frequently acting as a stepping stone to international stardom. The Scottish Saloons and Sports Vehicle racers will compete for individual class honours, as properly as scoring points towards an general Sports and Saloon car title. If you are a females in racing please speak to me, I would like to add you to the story and also add you do my driver Bio. Holly started racing in 1998 at the age of ten. Her dad is a former Super Late Model driver. It will be significantly much more difficult to win the races in GTA V if you are racing against players who have upgraded their cars when you have not. To preserve your automobile at verify, you can turn a small bit to the right before you are going to take a left turn corner.
That does suck… I utilised have some pretty cool drag racing memoribilia, but I don't have it anymore either. Wheel-to-wheel racing is guaranteed as Scotland's prime chargers battle to grow to be the subsequent Scottish Champion. Since it entails racing at a quick speed, the racer must be alert and prepared with the essential protective gears. But iRacing also permits for so-named League racing – primarily organized races put on by members to emulate a genuine-life championship, or to emulate what a fictional championship might be like in real-life. If you feel you have what it takes to turn out to be a automobile racer, then go develop your group. By the age of 4 she was racing quad runners, then quarter midgets the following year, racking up some very impressive finishes.
IRacing could have much more possibilities than the console games since it is far more understanding and a lot more trustworthy by other 50,000 that use this game as fun entertainment and a studying curve for some that function on hand-eye coordination and how nicely they respond to wrecks. The focus is completely on simulations as decided by the neighborhood, and not aracde-ey racing games. Hosting your personal races in Grand Theft Auto On the web allows you set distinct choices like how numerous laps for the track.

Ganns Supply And Demand Letter
First published by WD GANN nearly 100 years ago, W.D. Gann wrote a weekly service called the Supply and Demand Letter.
Lambert Gann thought so highly of the content of the letter, it was agreed to brand it "The Supply & Demand Letter" as well.
This weekly newsletter service is designed to keep you up to date with opportunities in the marketplace and assist you in learning how to use Gann's Mechanical System to achieve your trading goals. Jon discusses his experience, shortcomings and discoveries, all ideas for the avid trader.
The Supply and Demand Letter is published weekly-usually Friday evening (PST-US). You will get an email with a link to the newsletter each time a new newsletter is published. We will have a minimum of 48-50 issues per year, (currently Jon is delivering 52 ) barring holidays or circumstances beyond our control.
That's 49 weekly educational lessons from the source-49 nudges to improve your trading..
The Supply and Demand Letter is a worthy read for both new traders and seasoned professionals looking for an edge. It is written in real time each week with current chart examples from markets traded by us - including the E mini, Crude Oil, Silver, Gold, Soybeans, and Bonds. Market action will determine which markets are covered from week to week.
The Supply and Demand Letter discusses not only the markets, but offers some commentary on concepts that effect our mindset every day. It is written by a successful full-time trader who has been there and done that. Topics such as the difficulty of trading a small account, money management, and risk mitigation when you are dealing with large accounts are within the newsletter.
The weekly newsletter's size will vary along with the markets covered. Most issues come in at around 15 - 20 pages of manageable, comprehensive content, with lots of charts to aid in comprehension.
The newsletters intent is to accelerate the learning of the powerful, simple Mechanical Method Gann used time and time again in the market.
Whilst the author is a successful forecaster as well (and we build on these concepts-often pointing to potentially tradeable turns), if you are looking for the holy grail to the next top or bottom, this may not be for you. If you want to trade profitably on a weekly basis, with a very high win to loss ratio, you can't afford not to have this on your desk each week.
A mini course is provided to get you started or caught up, and shortly, all back issues will be available to add to your library.
About the Author
Jon Kirk has enjoyed a successful career in corporate re-structuring, strategic planning and logistics, he calls himself the corporate janitor, cleaning up companies in trouble and placing them on the road to success. He has bought and owned several of his own businesses, turning them around before selling them and moving to the next opportunity.
Jon first discovered W.D. Gann in the late 1980's, although he did not really take it up until early 2000, when he sold his last business and transitioned to a full time private trader.
He has studied with many of the "names" in the industry, and travelled far and wide researching W.D.Gann's methodologies and myths.
Jon has studied here with us at W.D.Gann Inc, for almost a decade and he is one of the few people in the world with access to the Gann Vaults. He has spent a great deal of time with us here and we appreciate him working with us on the Supply and Demand Letter.
He said he would never teach, and certainly never write, but circumstances arose that had him give a 5 day presentation with his good friend Tim Walker in Nov 2016. To introduce himself to the attendees, he began writing a small newsletter for Tim's group. The newsletter caught on and has continued to grow.
He has agreed to continue this for us!! The Supply and Demand Newsletter is born.
Jon writes in a no fuss, straight to the point, "show me the money" style. He writes about the markets he is currently analysing and trading, showing details many newsletters cannot or do not. This is very refreshing in an industry that uses smoke and mirrors to market...
We have seen his results as well…… quite incredible! Jon is the real deal-he started a small trading account just for this newsletter and it continues to grow..
This is not a list of trade recommendations, it is designed for you to follow along, learn the methodology so you can trade successfully in your own right.
But read carefully, there are hidden gems in those simple words.

General information on Toll house from Beeding, Sussex
Toll houses were built as part of the system of road maintenance by Turnpike Trusts, whereby private trusts were empowered to stop the public highway with gates, bars, and turnpikes. At these points, on average three or four miles apart, a toll was demanded for vehicular and animal traffic.
The Beeding Toll House was built to control what the official turnpike records call 'the new road to avoid Beeding Hill, from Beeding through Old Shoreham to the south-east corner of the Sheep Fold in the parish of Kingston-by-Sea'. This was a diversion authorised by Parliament in 1807, and the cottage was probably built at the same time.
The new road eased the route through the Downs by avoiding the severe gradient of Beeding Hill, considerably improving the movement of traffic between the older centres of population of the western Weald, such as Petworth and Steyning, and the rising Brighton of the Prince Regent's time. The road remained turnpiked until 1885, and together with the Horsham–Steyning–Beeding road has the added interest of being the last public road in Sussex on which a toll was levied.
The Beeding Toll House is characteristic of toll cottages in the triangle between Worthing, Horsham and Shoreham but is the last survival of this type — all the others have been demolished for road improvements. It was dismantled and moved to the Museum in 1968 after an accident in which a lorry caused severe damage to the structure. The missing front section and chimney have been reconstructed from photographic evidence.
An old photograph of the very similar cottage at Bramber, on the same turnpike road, shows clearly the gates and general arrangement of the road, and replicas of these have been reconstructed at the Museum. The toll board, attached to the outside of the toll cottage, originally came from the Northchapel Tollhouse near Petworth.
By the General Turnpike Act of 1766 it was compulsory for turnpike trustees to erect milestones. Unfortunately, many were lost or destroyed during the last war after they had been removed for security reasons, and those that have survived are in constant danger of being lost in road-widening schemes. One that has been saved is exhibited near the toll cottage. Inscribed '52' it marked the distance to London, and came from Erringham, near Shoreham, from the same stretch of turnpike road as the toll cottage; it is therefore almost certainly dated 1807. On top of the stone is a brass stud which is part of a rather unusual Ordnance Survey bench mark. The height above Ordnance Datum has been kindly checked in its new location by the Ordnance Survey. It is 204.42 feet (62.31 metres).
Turnpike Trusts
The upkeep of medieval roads was the responsibility of landowners, until Tudor legislation gave the task to the parish, every householder having to contribute six days' work each year.
In 1663 a new method was introduced, when a Turnpike Trust was formed to improve the road between Wadesmill (Herts) and Stilton (Hunts). Money for repairs was raised by collecting tolls from the users of the road. Many more such trusts were set up during the 18th and early 19th centuries — an Act of Parliament being needed for each one — until eventually there were over 1,100 trusts administering some 23,000 miles of road.
The system was unpopular and inefficient. In the 19th century the trusts were unable to cope with competition from the railways and the demands of heavier road traffic. Their maladministration and insufficient funds caused Parliament to withdraw their powers, so that during the 1860s and 1870s most trusts were wound up by law.

I am street photographer a beggar poet .. I shoot misery cavorting with hope I shoot original content. I am Shia Sufi Hindu all in One
Friday, December 19, 2014
Mama The Man With The Camera Is He A Beggar Like Us
limping barefeet
wound on his head
mama i am sure he
is a beggar like us
one of the living dead
pain in his eyes i read
perhaps using the camera
as a beggars bowl our
pain he spreads ..
mortally wounded by
the original sin of being
beggars ..we are the left
overs of gods bounty
through tears he bred
to always beg be at
the mercy of the well fed
no i dont want to return home
no ghar wapsi to become
a hindu i d rather be dead
the religion of my mother
is the essence of my humanity
he looked into my eyes silently
moved ahead ..a beggar poet
a hindu shia i am what i am
when my body was being born
my mortal soul had fled
religion destroyed humanity
killed god the poison spread
killing innocent children
an eye for an eye the Taliban
code of honor build on fear dread
if he is a shia hindu or jew
the commander said off with hs head
Mama Why Are They Not Begging Like Us ,,,Are We Different
hands in their pockets
stony eyed they stare
but alms they wont give
for beggars they have
nothing to spare
mother child
conjoined pair ,,
the other side of
the royal minaret
the limping lion roars
ghar ghar islam
but for the poor
fuck they care
the untouchables
of Islamic Indian society
held captive in a lair
will they even give a
dime from their royal
share ..a falling house
of doomed humanity
they wont repair ..
allah ho akbar as
the royal minaret
blares ,, wear and tear
i d rather be an indian
than only a hindu or a
muslim the patriot swears
politicians want sectarian strife
to build their dynasties for
wealthy comfort for their heir
The Mark Of Hussain..Kama Matam And Kids
All over the cities I have shot documented Moharam..I have seen little kids getting their heads marked with the blade of a dagger .
Little kids who perhaps hardly know what is happening but are aware of the grimness of the moment.
In Hyderabad almost every child , including little girls get the head cut by the dagger known as the kama, it is a symbolic cut unlike the swift rapid strokes by Shia adults while hey do their kamazani.. or kama matam.
Almost every Shia child has a bandage on his head in Hyderabad on Ashura day .. and Chehlum.
In Chennai the child has his head cut on Ashura day and here strangely even Hindu mothers with new born boys have the childs head cut for holistic healing purpose ,, I asked one Tamil Hindu mother waiting for her childs head to be cut, why she was doing it , she replied to keep the child healthy and prevent evil eye ,, I had no words to respond .
In Mumbai the head cutting starts at Kaiser Bagh from eve of 8 Moharam and the kids get initiated thanks to Munna Bhai who helps them get over the fear of the blade.
Than the kama matam continues on 9 Moharam juloos that begins at Honda junction .. and ends a Amin Imambada .
More kama maam on Ashura Day morning a Amin Imambada , and later at the Ashura juloos on the streets of JJ till Mazgaon .
Within the Shia cemetery the kama matam is of sheer frenzy, and mostly teenagers take part.
Lucknow kama matam takes place on Ashura day juloos and Chehlum juloos .. but than comes Athvi the last day of Shia mourning and kids participate in large numbers at Kazmain..led by Baney Bhais Anjuman,
In Hyderabad even girls women do kama matam..
In Delhi Ashura day kama matam takes place at Kashmiri gate , and Chehlum near Jama Masjid and Sher E Marda cemetery.
In Kolkatta it is basically hand held razor matam.. and some kama mata,
At Hussain tekri Chehlum the Kashmiri Shia kids do inense kama maam most of the Kashmiri adults puncture their scalps with surgical needles .
As a people photographer as a documentarist I shoot , I dont hold opinion , I dont proselytize nor do I glorify bloodletting ,, but yes I shoot it prolifically .
My grandkids all girls are not scared of the kama ..
And this post is to give you the meaning of kama, this child was watchin me with two daggers , and than he walked upto Baney Bhai asking him to cut his head , and there is absolutely no force , child abuse ,,and this kid had no fear no apprehension ..
And for the record I hardly shoot kids doing kama matam, these are just a few I took ,, kids in Lucknow have requested me to bring them kama when I next come to shoot Moharam.

A healthy wholesome pasta, this tuna lemon pasta is fast, fresh and fabulous! 1 bowl, 1 saucepan, 15 minutes, this is a great weeknight meal for people on the go!
Happy Thursday!!
I've been meaning to post this recipe for one whole year, but for some reason just never really got around to it!
But we are finally here and I think you're going to love this quick, easy 15-minute tuna lemon pasta! I am making the most of lemon season at the moment and after the lemon cheesecake bars I posted on Tuesday, this tuna lemon pasta was next in line!
I had a day of cooking on Tuesday and it was actual bliss! Archie was in daycare, and I practically had the entire day to plan, cook and photograph recipes for you! Despite the ton of washing up that came with it, the day was so relaxing and fun!
The weather has been lovely lately, and it's starting to get my amped about summer! While I don't anticipate it to last, I'm going to make the most of it while I can! I'm trying to plan a ton of fun content that will get you excited about summer entertaining!
Last year I launched a meal plan section of the blog, and I am so hoping to take that further this year by providing you with some gorgeous menu ideas for spring and summer entertaining!

But back to this tuna lemon pasta!
I love the changing of the seasons. Even though it's still cold (in my eyes) here at the moment, the smell of spring is in the air. I've started making lighter and fresher meal, making a move from having warming meals like soups and curries, to lighter, fresher foods like risotto and our tuna lemon pasta.
This lemon tuna pasta was originally adapted from Donna Hay and one that my Mum actually used to make ages ago when I was in high school. It was in one of her old cookbooks and I've only recently come back to it!
Why did I start making it? Pure laziness! Adam has been working away lately and I literally cannot be bothered cooking for myself when he is away!
That's why I turn to meals that I don't really have to put much thought into and don't really have to cook! This pasta recipe is so easy!
You throw the tuna, lemon, olive oil, parsley and red onion into a bowl and mix together, you cook some pasta, you mix em' all together and you got yourself a meal! Perfect for the
lazy busy cook!
Minimal preparation, maximum tastiness! #winning #adulting.
This pasta comes together in under 15 minutes, and I guarantee it'll be the easiest pasta dish you'll make, that's not pasta and butter and ketchup. True story that was once my go-to pasta recipe when I was poor back in college. Spoiler alert, it's pretty rank!
So here's to a long, happy spring and summer my lovelies! I'd love to hear what you're up to! What you're loving or what you're looking forward to!
