Take Care New York (TCNY) 2020 is the Metropolis's blueprint for giving each New Yorker the chance to dwell a healthier life. Sources say that regardless of its $1.2 billion valuation, Clover has struggled to navigate a highly difficult and gradual-shifting health insurance industry that rewards dimension and scale. The "progress-hacking" tricks and aggressive gross sales and advertising methods that software start-ups and app builders use to juice their numbers have proven less efficient in health care, which is closely regulated. To rank the call queue, Clover used risk score information from CMS, which helped determine people who had diabetes or had been on key medicines. But due to the software program glitch, the checklist was reversed. For several months, Clover's representatives known as the healthiest members first.

Yesterday, Senate Republicans didn't approve the invoice that they had been engaged on for over a month, which included the Cruz modification that will have bifurcated the individual health market into separate healthy and sick swimming pools. The vote was forty three-fifty seven. In fact, all Democrats voted no. The nine Republicans voting against the management bill included Collins (ME), Corker (TN), Cotton (AR), Graham (SC), Heller (NV), Lee (UT), Moran (KS), Murkowski (AK), and Paul (KY). At the core of Republican targets for the "repealing and changing" of Obamacare is bringing down the cost of health insurance coverage–not just the premiums but the out-of-pocket costs folks pay as well.

Contrary to the hard earned win at Vicarage Road last Monday, Liverpool were unable to avert an unfortunate slip to their top 4 race as the Saints ensured a 0-0 score line at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Southampton seated back in the first half, inviting Liverpool to a defense that looked calm and collected whilst forcing the Reds to use the flanks in most of the attacks of the half.
Doubtful Coutinho started for the Klopp's side and there was little the Brazilian could do to break the composed defense that lacked Virgil Van Dijk, a power house of the Saints' defense earlier in the season and a summer target for Liverpool according to reports.
Liverpool picked up from where they started at the break and this time, the Saints were a little flexible pushing on the attack. Nathan Redmond and Shayne Long were introduced to beef the attack, but it was Liverpool's attack that led to a Jack Stephens handball in the 18, and referee Madley pointed at the spot.
Fraiser Forster stopped James Milner's spot kick in the 65th minute denying Liverpool a lead and ending Milner's 7 straight run of successful penalty takes this season.
Liverpool subs Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana were all on target but their tries were not clinical enough to pass through the Saints goal post. In all, Liverpool recorded 8 shots on target while the Claude Puel's men couldn't force Simon Mignolet to a single save.
The Reds have not earned 3 points in any EPL game against the St. Mary side since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp in October 2015. The saints have also debarred Liverpool from scoring a goal against them this season.
Liverpool are now 3rd on the log with a point difference from 4th place City who have a game at hand. United will be hoping to take advantage by beating Arsenal at the Emirates later on Sunday evening.

This club must be desperately looking for customers because the flyer is about a Valentines Dinner, in a weeks time, cutting it a bit fine aren't they? Cost is £65 per couple, including live entertainment, a female artiste who must have appeared at every venue three times over in the local area. You could say, she's been round the block a bit, ha ha. Oh nearly forgot, there is also a rose for the ladies. That's a bit old fashioned isn't it, what about gay couples who want to book, do lesbians get two roses, and gay men have to fight over who is to play the lady for that night ;o)
Anyway, turn the page over and you get the menu, these posh descriptions do make me chuckle, so here is my version.

Quite a bit of our time at this year's E3 was spent over at the Square Enix booth. Aside from the sprawling TV, huge display of figurines and open booths for the eager press to try out their games, Square Enix were also showing some exclusive demonstrations behind closed doors. Final Fantasy XIII-2 was no exception. Having seen and played what Square Enix had on display, here are our impressions of FFXIII's upcoming sequel.
Here's the gist of the story: Serah Farron returns as a key character, Lightning is gone, most presume her to be dead. Team NORA's back. Snow's nowhere to be found. The village of New Bodhum, located on Gran Pulse and home to many Cocoon survivors, is suddenly attacked by monsters. Serah's joined by newcomer Noel Kreiss, who comes to her rescue. While Lightning isn't the main character, she will be a key figure in the story "" which, by the way, involves time paradoxes.
The demo showcased one in particular where Serah, Noel and a group of PSICOM soldiers exploring Cocoon are attacked by a giant hand attached to the invisible body of Atlas. It's a strange premise, but then again it's not the first time Square Enix have dabbled in time related anomalies. Apparently Atlas is attempting to invade Cocoon through a tear in the space time continuum. Sounds like Star Trek? It really does.
The core of the battle system is back and nothing about it has changed. Unlike FFX-2 where just about every aspect was turned upside down, Square Enix are intent on maintaining quite a lot of Final Fantasy XIII in this sequel. Paradigm Shifts, the insanely quick ATB system, it's all there and it works exactly how you think it does.
What they have done is added bits and bobs on top of the core functions. Monsters no longer roam the area. Instead, they pop out at random. When one of these random encounters occur, a huge ring appears around Noel, indicating that he is within a monster's range. However, the battle doesn't start immediately. Noel has a chance to strike first. There is a pre-emptive gauge and if he strikes the enemy before the gauge drops out of the green zone, the party will get a pre-emptive attack. Noel can also flee from battle by running out of the ring.
Another new feature, or lack thereof depending on how you perceive it, is the removal of a third party member. Instead, Noel and Serah can recruit monsters by defeating them in battle. Equipping the respective crystals that they drop will summon them to battle as though they were a third party member. There are apparently over a hundred monsters to recruit, each with their own unique abilities. Monsters will change according to paradigms, so depending on what paradigm is being used, Noel and Serah can be fighting alongside a Flan at one point and a Behemoth at another.
Adding to that is Feral Link, a gauge that builds up during battle. Once full, it allows any allied monster to unleash a series of powerful attacks together with Noel through, you guessed it, button mashing not unlike that seen in Kingdom Hearts II. Square Enix have told us that it's a feature they hope fans will use often. It's not meant to be a super all-out attack, but it does enough damage to hopefully turn the tide of an ill-fated battle.
Battles are also made quite a bit more interesting with what Square Enix has dubbed Cinematic Action Sequences, which are essentially quick-time-events that occur at the climax of a boss fight. Button prompts will appear and hitting them in succession will result in some action-packed scenes. These were showcased during the battles with Atlas as well as the battle between Lightning and Chaos Bahamut, which in itself was a rather cinematic sequence. The battle takes place as Lightning rides atop Odin, all the while battle commands can be selected like in a regular battle. It's tough to say just how much these sequences will add to the experience based on the short demo, but so far it seems mostly aesthetic.
In any case, it's clear that Square Enix have also taken into consideration some of the more cutting complaints about Final Fantasy XIII. Linearity is being addressed with more open areas, branching paths and even optional objectives. Where FFXIII had mostly straight lines for maps, XIII-2 has bigger courtyards that branch out into various other areas for Serah and Noel to explore. The short demo didn't do a very convincing job of showcasing it, but hopefully it'll be a lot more open than XIII was.
One other aspect Square Enix have added to the mix in order to make the game more open is dialogue options. Throughout the game, Noel and Serah will have to make decisions that supposedly affect the outcome of their quest. At one point in the demo, Noel and Serah had to choose between fighting Atlas head-on, or taking a roundabout way to weaken the giant first "" they could also ask a third character, Alyssa, for advice. Fighting head-on is entirely possible, but only if the two protagonists were of a high enough level as they were easily felled in two strikes otherwise. Again, the demo didn't do the greatest job of showing it off, but it'll be interesting to see just how far Square Enix will take it.
Taking the roundabout way, the two are tasked with locating a device that slipped into their dimension alongside Atlas. Apparently, it'll weaken the giant. However, the two are caught up in an attack which sends them flying into a Time Anomaly. Here, Square Enix showed off what looked like a puzzle mini-game. Noel has to reach the end of each puzzle all the while collecting crystals as the tiles he passes disappears beneath him. Hopefully, this isn't the only puzzle type. The in-game tutorial noted that there will be new puzzles as the game goes on, suggesting some variation, which will be more than welcomed.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 isn't too different from Final Fantasy XIII. In fact, it's pretty much the same mechanics-wise. They have added quite a bit of new ones, but, based on the short demo, nothing that will win the hearts of naysayers. The battle system works exactly the way it did in the first game and are topped off with monster hunting and QTEs. Puzzles are a neat addition and hopefully there'll be more than just one type. While areas are more open, there are still invisible walls that block Noel's path. Why they put in a jump button is also beyond me seeing as there is nothing to jump over. Branching paths are just that, corridors that branch out from a central area. Hopefully, Square Enix will continue to expand on these additions before the game hits store shelves later this year.

In our last post, we covered the topic of prenuptial agreements. This time around, let's shed some light on postnuptial agreements. Just because you missed the boat on getting a prenup, doesn't mean you are out of luck. Our lives and marriages are ever-evolving and those changes may warrant the need for a postnuptial agreement.
One possible reason to get a postnuptial agreement is a change in roles within a family. When a parent decides to leave his or her career to be a stay-at-home parent, it may be a good time to consider getting a postnuptial agreement.
First off, the individual will likely lose their earning power. As a parent takes care of the children, the workforce is ever-changing. Years away from a job can leave one with skills that are either rusty or no longer needed. This is something to take into consideration when writing out an agreement, because a stay-at-home parent in many cases cannot bounce back into the workforce as quickly as they would hope.
Secondly, the years that a parent spends bringing up their children are also often the years during which they have the highest earning potential. A postnuptial agreement may outline how an individual will get compensated for those years if the couple decides to divorce.
Many people know that the topic of money can really strain a marriage. Discussing these issues at a time when the marriage is in a calm, loving place can help strengthen the relationship by getting those tough issues out in the open and eventually out of the way.

Chapter 29: Refugees and Displaced Women
HealthWiki > Where Women Have No Doctor > Chapter 29: Refugees and Displaced Women
Out of every 10 refugees and displaced persons in the world, 8 are women and children.
Refugees are people who cross the border of their country into another country, because they fear for their survivial at home. Displaced people are people who are forced to leave their homes but remain in their own country. Many refugees and displaced people are victims of a group that has gained power and is prejudiced against the ethnic group, religion, nationality, or political views of others. If this group controls basic resources like food and water, people must leave their homes to survive.
Women and girls make up around half of all refugees and displaced people They need laws that give them economic and social rights, so they can get basic resources like food, shelter, clothing, and health care. As women, they need special protection from armed attacks, from sexual and physical abuse, and from being sold into sex slavery or human trafficking. Like all refugees and displaced people, women need to be protected from forced return to their homes.
This chapter will focus on some of the health problems that refugee and displaced women face. Most importantly, this chapter looks at the role these women can play in their new communities.

11 Bicycle Fun Facts
The Carbondale Mountain Fair began in 1972 with 20 booths showcasing local artists and artisans. It was an appropriate image for a day of strange rupture, of ritual space, otherworldly and beyond ordinary time. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park itself boasts about 2,115 miles of streams within its boundaries open for fishing. It appears not because one is having a fine time scrattling and pecking at the straw which lines the basket.
Other criteria used in the definition of a mountain include the elevation, the volume, the relief, spacing and continuity. Mount Agung is the highest mountain on the island of Bali with a height of 3142 masl. Enjoy a delicious authentic Mexican dining experience while benefitting the Bull Mountain Park development.
Another path up the mountain is of the black artists who do want to perform and achieve greatness. In the summer months we experience very warm weather (it's nice to be right on the lake!) but low-pressure systems can come in at any time. This ride will save you a lot of trekking energy as you wont need to trek through the rainforest to get to the mountain proper however if you happen to get car sick then it doesn't help your cause.
It's time to do something online that comes closer to the richness of the books we publish (and will go on publishing). If you are looking for a longer, less aggressive route I would suggest that you continue east on the Tank Hill / Denning fire road up to the top of Denk Mountain and take a breather and be impressed with the 360 degree view of San Diego.

Justice Cornett ( Sqack ) from Marville, TN drove up today and picked up his new male Mountain Feist pup (LT X TAZ). It is easy for a biker to lose their balance in these ruts and difficult to extract the bike out of them.

Criminal Justice Reform
We are fighting for community-centered solutions to public safety and criminal justice reform. The issue of policing and criminal justice is multi-layered where the only clear and correct answer to the conundrum is "Black Lives Matter." Our criminal justice committee includes individuals who are directly impacted by issues of community violence, police violence, and mass incarceration.
Our activists are defining what safety means for their communities by talking to their neighbors about how collective power and vision can transform Chicago.
We believe that communities are safer when we see everyone as our neighbors. This year our activists partnered with community icons Southsiders Organizing for Unity and LIberation (SOUL) for a "Night Out for Safety and Liberation" where we had small group and "open mic" conversations about what it really means to feel safe and free.
We have spent years knocking on doors in Black communities and asking residents what "safety and liberation" means to them. Our outreach has revealed a majority of community members recognize that gun violence and crime are legitimate concerns, but at the same time they do not want their children and grandchildren profiled and threatened by the police. There is no denying that there is a severe disconnect between policing and the community's freedom to self-determine and thrive but we also must do what is best to keep our communities safe. One of those barriers is the police contract itself, as it provides obscenely loose language related to police misconduct, providing the officers with rights not normally bestowed on the average citizen. We are helping lead a coalition that is fighting for equity in police contracts, because we want to protect labor unions but not protect police-sanctioned murder.
Another barrier to equity in policing is the use of "police brutality bonds". When cities are forced to pay multimillion dollar settlements in police brutality or police killing cases, it squeezes the same communities that are most likely to be victims of police violence in the first place. Police brutality settlements require cities to put up money to pay for the impacts of police violence, and the taxpayers foot this bill, not the police department budgets or the pockets of individual officers. Instead, these costs become the responsibility of taxpayers more broadly, who are forced to pay to maintain a system in which police officers can brutalize and kill communities of color with impunity. We refuse to continue footing the bill for police officers who are unaccountable to the public that they are supposed to "protect and serve".
If you or someone you love has been impacted by police brutality, we want to hear from you! Sign Up here to share your story and get more information about how to fight back against all violence in your community
Chicago Public Schools has history of poor decision-making, corrupt proceedings, and general lack of accountability to the public. Over the past four years alone, millions have been cut from public, neighborhood school budgets, while the board has accelerated the expansions of charter schools that are performing on-par or worse than the so-called "failing" schools. Mayoral control fails Chicagoans on many levels, leaving already marginalized communities further destabilized. Chicago is the only city in Illinois without an elected school board, and we are fighting for a school board that reflects the majority of Chicagoans and not just mayoral appointees. The evidence is clear that the current management of Chicago Public Schools fails parents, teachers, tax payers and most importantly, students. If CPS was a publicly traded company, its shareholders who demand a return on the investment of the lives of their children, would have removed all of the members from power and brought in new people. The fight for an elected school board is a grassroots takeover of CPS by the parents, teachers and community members of Chicago, who are the stakeholders who have the highest investment and who have risked the most loss under the current school system.
Economic Equity
ANI is committed to key economic justice issues affecting working families ability to support their families. This includes fights for living wages, progressive income tax, affordable housing, and access to quality health care. One of our keystone victories is the historic Chicago minimum wage fight.
ANI's work in home foreclosure prevention has contributed to generating a success rate that is the highest among similar court foreclosure mediation programs in the country – approximately 1/3 of homeowners who entered the program saved their home and another 1/3 reached a mutually beneficial agreement with the lender. Our work on housing equity continues with the fights for rent stabilization and rehab of vacant properties.
Do you make less than $15/hr? Join the "Fight for $15" as we work to make sure all workers in IL can make a living wage. Email us at email@example.com and share your story of living life while making less than $15/hr.
Is your rent too damn high? Let's work together to make Chicago an affordable city for everyone. Email email@example.com for more info.
Civic Engagement
Civic engagement begins way before election day and continues year round. Our members regularly engage with their elected officials to both collaborate with and chasten them towards the goal of stronger, safer, more stable communities. Since 2014, we have knocked on over 130,000 doors and held conversations with over 50,000 people. We also believe that being civically engaged means building community, so we regularly have monthly meetings to vision and build relationships with neighbors across community areas.
Racial, Social, and Economic Justice Committees (with subcommittees such as education, criminal justice, housing, etc.) help lead, mobilize, and identify campaigns for the organization.

How to Write itAs it is written
Fictional genre: Where/when and how to write it
Here is how to recognize a Lit-Snob: When you see her eye lids begin to flap for a short instant while her top lips roll a soft toe smoother than a je ne sais-que, drenched in lenor and covered in a Kashmir stocking, they are drawing a'genre fiction' with disgusting stigma.
Or more important, how do we write fictional music? So, what is fictional music? There has been a long, long way since literature has been divided into its own category: artistic, experiential and serious. The fictional gender was abandoned as the generic concept for everything else: a constantly growing treetree chart of classes, styles and sub-groups.
Like anything interesting, there is a big gray area of overlap: a work about a Cowboy might be both, but if the latter is on a long quest through Death Valley to find the man who could be his stepdad, it's probably literature. When he kills a bimodal villian, kiss the little woman and play on words, you have a brain.
So how do you write them? When you want to begin to write gender movies, the first thing you have to do is choose a one. Whatever your choice of class, whether wide or small, there's a style to match you, including steamunk sci-fi, romantic dinosaurs and female politics turnplay.
Next, see widely - but if you enjoy the game, you've probably already done so. Don't just browse books: browse stories, view TV shows, join Facebook groups and blog posts, get connected with others, and join in your passion for everything you care about. YA - or Young adult destiny for short - is a kind of music that has been exploding in a light fog of subtas.
With dystopic bad dreams like the Hunger Games, romantic tales like the lazy in Our Star and fantasy like the Mortal Instruments show, Hollywood has realized outstanding album-busters. Bloggerin, free authoress and Sociemedia managerin Grace Latter write about their dear to the YA-Fiktion in the entire range.
This is the secret to the lasting popularity of the fictional art form and how to write a great one: no mater how bloody, romantically, shockingly, formulaically or curly one is, the is?-?and should be -- ?and. In their hearts, both genres and literature tell the truths about life, affection and ourselves. The only difference is the gift wrap.
However, for the category the gift wrap is almost always the same. Formulae are the core of a good genre: not only in classical Hero's Journey, but also in complex chains of convention and rule that are different for each of the subgenres. It does not stop them from being inventive, marvelous, innovative works of art of fiction.
Made right, this is a kind of liberty within comfortable limits: infinite variation of a topic. However, the best piece of music is not for everyone, so as always, the best piece of advise is always same - write what you like.

In the marketing industry, we are so used to the next 'new thing' that we often just shrug when we find out about a new way in which to market a site (until its proven) but one of the new phenomenon we have discovered are Info Graphics, they are a great way of getting information across quickly, they can help your site to look modern and, best of all, you can use them to attract links and traffic to your site.
Here are ten reasons to use info graphics (in no particular order)
1. They can rely a message in a concise and effective way.
2. Grab your potential customers attention, you can use colorful imagery to hold attention.
3. They can be optimised for search engine optimisation, the title and alt image needs to be focused and match the topic of the InfoGraphic, the major search engines will then potentially use the InfoGraphic in the Serps.
4. Generally InfoGraphics have a much higher view and review rate, this means that, used in a good social media campaign, can net some great interest and ultimately refer visitors to your site.
5. InfoGraphics, if well produced, can make for great viral material, again increasing branding and potentially gaining some serious inbound traffic and links.
6. They can be a very effective way of showing processes such as your service and how it works, helping to increase awareness of your service and evoke trust.
7. InfoGraphics are becoming very popular and are often used in blogs and other content, so producing a simple but effective graphic can help to increase brand and site awareness.
8. A potentially difficult point can be made simple with an well constructed InfoGraphic.
9. They can be used across your site to 'sign post' people to key areas / category pages.
10. We love them, long live the InfoGraphic.

ChemChina said to plan US$10b sale of preferred stock
[HONG KONG] China National Chemical Corp is planning to sell US$10 billion of preferred shares of a unit to help fund its record US$43 billion acquisition of Syngenta AG, according to people familiar with the matter.
Under the proposal, half of the preferred shares on sale would be convertible, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. ChemChina plans to raise another US$15 billion in cash, bringing the total equity contribution to US$25 billion, and borrow the rest it needs via a loan package, according to the people.
Representatives at ChemChina didn't immediately respond to calls and e-mails seeking comment.
The fundraising would put state-owned ChemChina a step closer to completing the country's biggest-ever acquisition outside its borders and help the government secure technology that could help feed the world's most populous nation. Still, hurdles remain as the deal is still subject to regulatory approvals in the US during an election year.
The preferred shares are poised to be sold to government-linked entities, according to two separate people familiar with the matter, who declined to name the buyers.
On the debt portion of the fundraising, ChemChina's lenders are preparing to line up a US$12.7 billion in bank financing in addition to a US$20 billion loan in March, according to the people.
Syngenta has said it expects the deal, which is being reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US, or CFIUS, will be completed by the end of 2016. CFIUS can recommend to the president that transactions be blocked if they are deemed to pose a risk to national security.
Syngenta shares closed 0.2 per cent higher at 373.10 Swiss francs in Zurich Tuesday, giving the company a market value of 34.5 billion francs (S$47 billion).

Balance Bikes
Balance Bikes are the best way for your children to start cycling at an early age. Without pedals there is one less thing to think about and by the time they are big enough for a pedal bike they will have perfected balancing already. Most kids totally bypass using stabilizers this way. With their feet on the floor they are safe as well and brakes always help. Help your child enter into the passionate world of bicycles as soon as possible they will thank you for it.

There are a few names that come to mind when one mentions tequila to the average person. For those who follow rock 'n' roll from the 1980s and '90s, Cabo Wabo is one of those brands and it is probably thanks to the brand's founder, Sammy Hagar, most famously, of Van Halen.
The brand contains the standard three-style range for tequilas and I had the opportunity to try the youngest (the blanco) multiple times, both straight and in a variety of cocktails. While I think it's a good tequila, it's not the best I've had.
The Review of Cabo Wabo Tequila
Is it the rock hall of famer along with brilliant marketing that made this tequila so popular? It's likely so. I am typically very skeptical of a celebrity-backed spirit label, which is why I prefer to know as little as possible about a newer brand prior to having a taste of it.
However, Cabo Wabo is not one of the newest brands on the market and it has been difficult to avoid it in the media and on the street. Its association with Sammy Hagar is hard to avoid.
Between conversations with many wannabe rock 'n' rollers who seem to enjoy it based only on that fact and various (seemingly random) marketing encounters—including Hagar donating his classic muscle car at a Barrett-Jackson Auction (complete with a signed guitar and case of Cabo Wabo in the trunk) to charity—this one is far more difficult to be subjective on. I have done my best.
All of the marketing hype aside, I have to agree with many of the tequila aficionados on Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila: it is mediocre. While I have tasted significantly superior tasting tequilas, I have tasted many inferior tequilas as well. Cabo Wabo falls in the middle.
I do not honestly think that this is a tequila worth shelling out $40. I could see paying $25 to 30 given the comparisons in that range, but when you can find a bottle of Patron Silver for around $40, the far smoother option of Patron would be my preference (and there are still better tequilas at the same price).
Again, I do not completely dislike Cabo Wabo like I do Jose Cuervo Gold. I think it has potential, but I have others that I personally prefer.
While it is certainly not my favorite tequila to sip, I find it makes some excellent cocktails. Mix it in any tequila cocktail you like, from a Tequila Sunrise to a Margarita or Paloma. It is not likely to disappoint, though it may not necessarily be thrilling, either.
Cabo Wabo is best with heavily fruity drinks and is especially tasty in blended cocktails, namely Margaritas.
Tasting Notes
The nose is filled with a sweet floral tone. The palate is oily and has a slightly bitter tone marked with a faint agave flavor and earthy notes. The finish is, as with the whole experience, mild, lacking the full alcohol burn of some other tequilas, and nicely spiced, though there is a bitterness in the aftertaste that makes it unusual.

Jenny asked us to sell her story after finding out she would get breast cancer but delayed surgery to wear her dream wedding dress. When we told Jenny we sold her story for more than £1000 she was delighted. Read Jenny's full story below: WHY I RISKED MY LIFE TO WEAR MY WEDDING DRESS FACED with losing her breasts before her wedding day bride to be Jenny Taylor, 43, from Orpington, Kent, made a decision that could be regarded as vain or insane. After consultants warned she carried a cancer gene that left her with an 85 per cent chance of developing breast cancer like her grandmother and father – Jenny chose to delay a potentially life saving double mastectomy to wear her dream strapless wedding gown. Now Jenny, 43 has finally had her mastectomy and says she doesn't for a second regret keeping her womanly curves for her big day and honeymoon. 'Some people might say it was a crazy decision but I'd looked forward to my wedding and honeymoon for so long that I didn't want it to be overshadowed by the operation. 'Like any bride I wanted to feel attractive and sexy for my husband in my dress and how could I feel like that without my breasts. Jenny's decision was backed by now husband Ricky, who had tragically already lost his first wife to cancer. 'It meant a lot to me to have those precious few weeks as man and wife with my real breasts. I wanted to make my vows feeling all women and thankfully it worked out well for me.' It all started when Jenny was introduced to Ricky Taylor who's wife Kay was dying of lung cancer. 'We were at a party and I'd heard of Ricky through friends as people had often commented on how much I looked like his wife Kay so I'd been keen to meet her. 'When I heard she was ill with cancer so too ill to make it, I was shocked and my hearts went out to them after what I'd been through with my family. Jenny's family had also been stalked by cancer, with breast cancer claiming the life of her grandmother aged 55 and also seeing her father having to undergo a double mastectomy to save his life. But just nine months after meeting Ricky at the party Jenny heard Kay had died. The pair became friends as Jenny supported him and friendship turned to love with Ricky proposing nine months later. The couple started planning their ceremony, a registry office, followed by golf club reception and honeymoon in Barbados. Jenny picked her dream gown – a stunning strapless gold and cream silk dress which looked perfect on her already enhanced 34C bust . But seven months before the wedding came shock news. 'Dad rang and he sounded worried. He said a letter had arrived for me which was strange as I hadn't lived there since my teens.' The letter explained they wanted to test Jenny for the gene that causes breast cancer. 'It sent a panic down my spine because I'd always wondered if there was a link what with Gran and Dad but didn't want to know.' 'I had to think about Ricky though, he'd already lost one wife to cancer, he didn't deserve to go through it again.' Jenny called and made the appointment. Later she sat Ricky down and told him. 'As soon as I mentioned cancer his face just went. I could see he was terrified but trying to be strong for me.' She took her father for the test and had to wait 14 days for the results. 'It was awful, I even dreamed of tumours. I checked my breasts every day.' Jenny was alone when she took the call with the results. 'They wanted me to come in but I begged them to tell me on the phone. It was positive and I just broke down.' The results confirmed Jenny carried the gene that put her at 85 per cent chance of getting breast cancer. The consultant explained that having her breasts and ovaries removed would lower that chance to ten per cent compared with the average persons 15 per cent. But it left Jenny with a terrible choice to make. Lose her breasts and ovaries – or risk losing her life. Only there was something else to consider too. The wedding was no just four months away. 'I didn't want to have my dress sagging over a flat chest, yet the alternative was cancer. I had a choice to prevent it, Kay didn't. Later that night as a couple they agreed she should have surgery and arranged to see the specialist. Hearing the facts again reinforced their decision but gave Jenny an idea. With her dress hanging in the wardrobe Jenny asked if she could have the operation – but delay it until after the big day. 'When I told the specialist the date she said it was up to me but that I would have to check every day for changes to my breasts. 'My kids were worried but, call me vain, it just meant a lot to me to look my best on the day. How could I wear a strapless gown with no boobs.' As the wedding drew closer Jenny checked her boobs every day for changes. On the morning she dressed in matching cream knickers and bra under her dress and did her best to push all thoughts of cancer out of her mind to enjoy their day. Dancing the night away, Jenny looked every inch the perfect bride but under the surface fear lingered. 'I was tearful on honeymoon whenever I out my bikini on or we made love. I was terrified of losing my boobs but Ricky would assure me it was the right decision.' After the honeymoon Jenny was keen to get it over with but the operation kept getting delayed so it was another three months before she finally went into hospital. The procedure this January took nine hours and Jenny was shocked when she came round to see her chest was flat. 'I had been expecting implants at the same time but the surgeon explained the skin had been too tight. Instead I would have to have the skin stretched with saline in preparation for the implants. Over the next few weeks plastic sacs in Jenny's chest were filled with saline via a valve poking out of the skin. 'I felt butchered and unfeminine. I cried when I saw the wedding pictures and what I'd lost.' But slowly as the saline began to stretch her skin in preparation for the final C cup implants Jenny felt better. Now Jenny has no regrets. She's still awaiting surgery to remover her ovaries. 'My wedding day was bittersweet. It was wonderful, but I also knew the operation was around the corner. But I don't feel sorry for myself. Some people don't have a choice about preventing cancer. I did.' ENDS

Max went to California State University Long Beach, and wanted to be a writer. He loved fencing and was a B-rated fencer when he died. He fenced foil his first year.

He fenced foil his first year. Then a teammate was sick and he switched to epee. He loved dancing and chess. He played recorder, and trumpet in his Ska band, Bad Faction. He was part of the "Mod" movement and loved his Vespa scooter. Max was easy to love. He was loving, sensitive, gentle, ethical, honest, sweet, enthusiastic and humorous. He was your best friend and he would do anything for you, and in response, you were always there for him. Max was happy the evening he died. Earlier in the day he had gotten a bowl "Beatles" haircut in his beloved "Mod" style. He gave his regularly scheduled trumpet lesson to the little boy across the street, spoke with his parents on the telephone and went to fencing practice. The accident occurred after practice when he was on his way to meet friends for fun and dancing. Max is gone, but he is dancing in our hearts…forever. These are words from some of his friends.
His light was so strong and affecting. (Dylan)
He had an open disposition and a good heart. On the strip he was a gracious loser and a generous winner; a true sportsman (Shervin)
The world will be darker without his wonderful, unique, happy approach to life. (Xandi)
I learned a lot about freedom from Max, and his memory helps me to find the courage to trust my free will. (Nate)
His kind, generous friendship brightened my life. (Doug)
He was a loyal friend to anyone who wanted one, and would put them before anything else, even when it wasn't convenient. He was never disrespectful or rude to anyone that I know of, and he had a kind heart and a gentle soul. (Jo – his coach)
I feel I owe all my success to Max. He never allowed me to let down. I always respected his individuality and good spirit. (Jeshima) His sister Holly wrote a poem about him. One verse says "Max was a dreamer, a writer, a philosopher. Max was an astronaut, archeologist and athlete. Max was Max, complete." Max's team at CSULB had a plaque made in his memory. It says: In Memory of Max Annavedder, April 14, 1974 – January 5, 1996. Max fenced on the team for 3 ½ years. He competed in two NCAA Championships, was twice All-Conference, and was third at the first half of the '95-96 season. He died after team practice when a car collided with his motor scooter. The second half of the season was dedicated to Max. "He is not where he used to be – he is wherever we are." (Anon.) Max's fall English course was on poets Robert Frost and Robinson Jeffers. The class camped up the California coast and visited Jeffers' home in Carmel. His teacher, Professor Robert Brophy, read Jeffers' poem, Inscription for a Gravestone, at his funeral. I am not dead, I have only become inhuman
That is to say,
Undressed myself of laughable prides and infirmities,
But not as a man
Undresses to creep into bed, but like an athlete
Stripping for the race.
The delicate ravel of nerves that made me a measurer
Of certain fictions
Called good and evil; that made me contract with pain
And expand with pleasure;
Fussily adjusted like a little electroscope:
That's gone, it is true;
(I will never miss it; if the universe does,
How easily replaced!)
But all the rest is heightened, widened, set free;
I admired the beauty
While I was human, now I am part of the beauty.
I wander in the air,
Being mostly gas and water, and flow in the ocean;
Touch you and Asia
At the same moment; have a hand in the sunrises
And the glow of this grass.
I left the light precipitate of ashes to earth
For a love-token.
Max's ashes were scattered at High Point in Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve in La Jolla, California.

When people need healthcare, they need to receive it in a way that is optimized. Optimization encompasses many things—not only delivering the appropriate care to help patients get healthy, but also finding the organizations and care providers that will provide the shortest path to success for the desired patient outcomes. When there is an intersection between the right care at the right time with the right organizations reaching the right patients, the experience and efficiency of care is optimized, and you take a major step toward Healthcare Solved.

Addressing the Healthcare Crisis in Philadelphia's Poorest Neighborhoods
How the Digital Health Initiative of Philadelphia Began
Named the "poorest big city in America," Philadelphia has plenty of challenges, and one of the most damaging is the impact on our poor communities in the area of healthcare. Philadelphia County has more than 500,000 Medicaid enrollees, and care for these vulnerable populations strains the entire healthcare system, diverting resources from other areas of investment that would otherwise benefit our region. Poverty costs us jobs, new business development, tourism, and other growth opportunities.

Value-Based Care—The Future of Health Care: Part 2 of 2
This blog is part 2 of a discussion of value-based care—the new paradigm in which care is no longer delivered only by doctors and nurses, but by an entire community of providers that treat the "whole" patient rather than just treating the disease. The focus is on treating the entirety of a patient's needs to bring about better health outcomes—which means that communication and care plans no long reside solely within a doctor's office. To achieve this objective, the industry is migrating to a de facto set of standards that it is believed will take us down the right path.

Value-Based Care—The Future of Health Care: Part 1 of 2
Value-based care creates a new paradigm—one in which care is no longer delivered only by doctors and nurses, but by an entire community of providers that treat the "whole" patient rather than just treating the disease. Communication and care plans can no longer live inside the four walls of a doctor's office, but must integrate information from the community to fully address the needs of the patient and of the population. Further, those members of a patient's care team must work together to deliver an effective and coordinated treatment experience. This blog—part 1 of a 2-part series—introduces the idea of value-based care, and discusses how integrating care coordination with robust analytics into a single platform provides the big picture of patient care, enabling efficient, collaborative care for diverse teams to treat complex populations. Part 1 is an introduction, intended for those starting to explore the idea of value-based care. Stay tuned for Part 2, which will be a deeper dive into some of the key issues facing the industry.

Care Coordination and Analytics Together
Remember the days when you had to use two different platforms for phone calls and for calendaring and task management? In today's iPhone/Android laden world, such a separation seems heretical. Yet in healthcare's hot new niche of population health management, we see that same heresy in the artificial, and suboptimal divide between care coordination/management software and analytic software.

Care Coordination Automation: Tracking Success, Part 4
Our previous posts have discussed the details of managing care team assignment and composition that's customized for the whole patient as well as managing patient and population care systems. Now, we move onto the fourth and final discussion topic in this series for supporting a care coordination program using technology: measurement & reporting.
The last step in any effective process is to monitor progress, analyze results and make adjustments accordingly. But in order to track program success, you must start by implementing a measurement strategy that's unified. Read more "Care Coordination Automation: Tracking Success, Part 4"

On Wednesday, June 27th, the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee passed out SB 237 (Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys) on a strong bipartisan vote, moving forward a CMTA MFG Maker bill that will provide California manufacturers greater access to competitive electricity rates.
SB 237 would phase-out the cap on Direct Access that arbitrarily limits the opportunity for non-residential customers, including manufacturers, to shop for better electricity rates and service from a non-utility provider, known as an electric service provider (ESP).
For the past several years, Senator Hertzberg has pursued against opposition from a variety of utilities, labor and other groups. However, this year has seen most of those opponents either joining the effort in support of direct access or neutrality on the issue.
CMTA's support for expanding Direct Access to open a more competitive electricity market for manufacturers continues to move the issue forward and help our members maintain a healthy bottom line, particularly in electricity-intensive processes.
SB 237 moves to the Assembly Appropriations Committee where it will be heard in early August when the Legislature returns from its summer recess. CMTA members should talk with their legislators over the summer as they are back in the district and ask them to support SB 237 and Direct Access.

Brandon Webb is a man with a brave heart. He had started his life journey without his parents guiding him at the early age of sixteen. During that time, Brandon had finished High School and joined the US Navy to become a Navy Seal. Not all of us has all the bravery of him. He never thinks that he was too young and has no capability of doing so. But, he has the determination of making his goal achieving that made Brandon Webb Navy Seal. He entered the life of a Navy Seal with a permanent assignment. In the year 1997, Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL package was approved and completed the training.
The life of Brandon as a Seal
Being a Seal is never easy, only selected ones that have the special abilities to be one of the originals. He became an instructor of a class of sniper cell and produced finest and deadliest hitmen. Not anyone can have this kind of ability, which made him a promising Navy Seal. Webb never stops on his journey in the military. In fact, he had four deployments in the Middle East that made him marked in the history. It is obvious that military life is always risky. No one knows if they can come back after deployed in the battlefield. So, military life is very promising, being a peacekeeper is not just an ordinary job but a risky one. So, it is only for valor. This made Brandon feels successful like he has nothing to ask for. Now, it is his turn again to pursue as a Seal or not, which made him decide of leaving Navy World.
A successful entrepreneur fights
Not all entrepreneurs are successful in their first venture. In fact, some of them failed much time but did not give up. Just the same of what had happened to Brandon, he fails at his first venture. With that, he feels empty because nothing has left to him. He thinks of the future of his children, which made him still stand strong. After the failure of his business, he can't find himself. But when his lawyer talked to him justifying that failing is not in the image of Brandon. In fact, quitting doesn't exist in his personality which made Brandon cheered up and realized of fighting back. So, he lands a job at a defense company in San Diego that made his start another savings. He used the savings to land business and enter entrepreneurship for the second time around. This time, he becomes successful that made him published several books documenting his life.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio, May 2 � Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa is asking all fellow Teamsters to do their part to help protect pensions in America. The multiemployer pension system has for many decades been an essential foundation for providing financial security in retirement for millions of Americans and their families. Now, through no fault of the beneficiaries, the earned pension benefits of millions of retirees are being threatened due to the impending financial insolvency of a number of multiemployer plans. To make matters worse, the government agency that insures a portion of these pensions, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, is likely to simultaneously become insolvent as well. Legislation proposed by Sen. Sherrod Brown, S. 2147, and Rep. Richard Neal, H.R. 4444, informally known as the Butch Lewis Act, would provide long-term, low interest loans to help shore up these pension funds and allow pension beneficiaries to continue to receive their benefits without cuts. This proposed legislation is the only proposed solution that will provide a path to financial health for troubled pension plans, alleviate pressure on the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, and ensure that retirees and active Teamster members receive all of the benefits that they earned.BLET President Dennis R. Pierce is requesting all members, families and friends to support their fellow IBT Brothers and Sisters by contacting your member of Congress and urging them to support this legislation. This can be done by calling (888) 979-9806, and asking to speak with the House of Representative member from your Congressional District. Contact info can also be found online. When you do reach out, ask to speak to the staff member who handles Labor issues, and request that your Representative in Congress or the Senate cosponsor pension improvement bills in the House (H.R. 444) and the Senate (S. 2147), and that they weigh in with Joint Select Committee members to take up and report out the Butch Lewis Act as their final recommendation. When speaking to staff, please be respectful, just as you would if you were personally speaking with your member of Congress. This pension crisis is not a partisan issue, we need members of both parties to co-sponsor the Butch Lewis Act and support the earned retirement of millions of hard working Americans. The more support the Butch Lewis Act receives, the more likely it is that the Joint Select Committee on Solvency of Multiemployer Pension Plans will take it up and pass it!

Hunt, E. J. (2017). A Teacher's Journey: Shifting Theoretical Positions in Early Childhood Education (Thesis, Australian Catholic University). Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.26199/5b877a90ba292
This thesis is a self-study conducted from an insider perspective that chronicles the changes I made to my work practices as I moved from using a developmental to a cultural-historical theoretical approach in my teaching.
Early childhood teachers are faced with differing theoretical perspectives with which to work as described within the Early Years Learning Framework (DEEWR, 2009). There are still many teachers within the field who have been solely trained in Piaget"s constructivist theory. Many of these teachers are not able to access newer information that easily explains how to alter their practices as most of the information is presented from an outsider"s position. New teachers may have a basic knowledge of a variety of theorists but still have minimal knowledge of how to actually put the theory into action within their practices.
An investigation of current literature revealed reports from an outsider"s perspective on how cultural-historical theory might benefit a child"s learning through the use of specific aspects of the theory. There is an emphasis on the importance of play and imagination and the use of the Zone of Proximal Development. However, there are few reports on how the educator might use these theoretical concepts in practice. Consequently, there was minimal support available to me via readings to assist my changing theoretical base. This thesis, therefore, aims to fill the knowledge gap and provide an insider"s viewpoint of what to include from Vygotsky"s cultural-historical theory to mediate teaching practice.
This thesis presents three findings that the teacher can focus on to mediate practice. These are (1) Practices of interpretation and interaction; (2) Practices of tool adaptation; and (3) Practices of temporality. The practices of interpretation and interaction have put the focus onto the teacher to support the child"s learning and knowledge development. This is also a focus within the EYLF (DEEWR, 2009) as there is the expectation for the teacher to be involved with the child through intentional teaching and teacher-led play. Practices of interpretation require the teacher to consider the importance of the stages of imagination for the child"s development – and positions that can be used to support the child"s learning – such as giving the child practical help to achieve a task, or working in an "under" position to enable the child to practise newly learnt skills as well as enabling the social situation of development to begin. Practices of interaction require the teacher to be involved with the child, and this can be through sustained conversations with the child as well as using the positions to support the child"s learning and development. Practices of interaction also involve the teacher considering the child"s position within the Zone of Proximal Development and so work with the child to support the learning that is possible. Practices of tool adaptation require the teacher to reconsider what materials are supplied to support the child, to consider the multi-purpose of the tools, and consider the importance and use of technologies to support the child"s learning. Practices of temporality is the surprising concept discovered by this research. It focuses on two lines; that of the teacher as well as the child. The teacher needs to take time to learn and understand the new theoretical framework and how to use it within her practices as well as providing time for the child to learn and develop. The child needs the time to progress through the stages of imagination and develop play to the point where it is mature play and becomes a leading activity for the child.
An important finding from this insider perspective is the influence of the dialectic that is important for Vygotsky"s cultural-historical theory. Outsider research acknowledges the dialectic, but minimal work has been undertaken to describe how it works in practice. This thesis shows the dialectic at work through the three practices; in particular, how one practice can dominate over the other practices and how this dominance can shift depending on the circumstances. This knowledge can support the teacher to understand how to more effectively provide optimal learning opportunities for the children she is educating.

Though it's arguably inferior to many European cities, New York does have a growing network of relatively safe bike lanes (thanks largely in part to Mayor Mike). "Ride the City", currently in beta form, is a site launched earlier this month to help aid the process.
The blurb on the site explains: "The concept is pretty simple. Just like MapQuest, Google, Microsoft, and other mapping programs, Ride the City finds the shortest distance between two points. But there are two major differences. First, RTC excludes roads that aren't meant for biking, like the BQE and the Queens Midtown tunnel. Second, RTC tries to locate routes that maximize the use of bike lanes and greenways."
