You watch her walk up the stairs, her hair so much longer than it used to be that you almost don't recognize her. You wait until she pauses, then walk up to her and clear your throat. She whirls around so fast that her hair is still falling into place around her startled face when her eyes widen in recognition. "You", she breathes, and holds out her arm – you aren't sure if it's to steady herself from the turn or to protect herself from you.
"I need to talk to you", you say, and nearly cringe at the hoarseness of your voice, but her eyes are darting to the stairway and the elevator just visible in the lobby, as if calculating her chances of escape. You wait patiently as she fiddles with her hair, a different shade from what you remember too, and then sighs, "Alright. But, not here."
Your relief quickly turns to confusion, yet you keep the expression on your face characteristically blank. "Okay.."
She knows you too well though, and answers the question you did not ask by holding up her hand before her face. It takes you exactly six seconds to notice; if the diamond hadn't been shining so brightly in the sunlight, you'd probably have taken longer. Her hand trembles and she lowers it slowly, your eyes falling with her fingers as they clench into a fist. You look up to her to notice her looking at your face, waiting for your attention. She won't say your name. "I have to go now.", she says, and silences your protest before it has begun, "I'll meet you tomorrow, by the War Memorial. In the evening, at six."
Six. Once it was dark. She didn't wan't to be seen with you. She turns to leave and starts to walk away, and you can't help but call out her name. She stops, but does not turn around.
"Who is he?", you ask.
A strangled noise makes it way from her lips as she whirls around, her eyes wild and hair framing her face like the flames of hell, and you remember her from your days together at the war. She seems to struggle with herself as you stand firmly before her, wondering how things could have gotten to this point, until a cloud passes over the sun, distracting you into breaking eye contact, and by the time you look back, the moment is gone. She is standing tall before you now, the expression on her face eerily serene, and more so in contrast to the anger you could have sworn threatened to consume the both of you just moments before. She gives you a tight-lipped smile, her face pale, but her eyes are bright. "That is none of your business."
She turns and walks away.
"It used to be.", you call out to her retreating back. "You remember? When you begged me to help you? It used to be. Until you left."
She pauses again. "Yes..", she says, thoughtfully. "It used to be. But it is not anymore."
And, with that she is gone. And the flowers you brought on your way here are suddenly too heavy and dead in your jacket, And the ring on her hand is now shining in your mind, blinding in its meaning.
You walk out of the complex in a daze and almost don't see her across the road, swallowed up whole in the too-large jacket she has on. Someone walks up to her and hands her a cup of something warm and steaming, and you see her lift up her head to smile at him in gratitude and loyalty. You recognize the smile because it used to be you she once smiled that way for. And you watch as she adds sugar to both their cups, the wind carrying snatches of conversation towards you amidst this sleepy corner of the city.
She is speaking of Christmas as she hands him his cup of coffee; and the man leans forward and kisses her forehead.
And you turn away, suddenly sick.

Symptoms of Sinusitis
Symptoms of sinus infection are very similar to those of the common cold. However when due to a cold virus, such symptoms typically improve in 1-2 weeks. If you continue to have nasal symptoms that linger after having a cold , then you may have developed a sinus infection.
|Blockage of Sinuses
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Symptoms of sinus infection may include:
- Nasal congestion
- Nasal discharge that may be thick, and greenish or yellowish in color
- Headache (in acute sinusitis)
- Ear pain
- Toothache (dental pain)
- Facial pain and pressure that increases when you lie down or lean over
- Facial fullness or congestion
- Nagging cough that may get worse when lying down
- Fever
- Decreased energy or fatigue
- Bad breath
- Unpleasant taste in your mouth
- Decreased sense of smell
- Fever, especially in children
Most experts believe that sinus infection does not cause chronic headaches. However, alteration in sinus pressure associated with weather changes might provoke headaches in susceptible people.

The MBTA's fiscal and structural problems are so severe and pervasive that marginal reforms will no longer suffice. The MBTA has reached the end of its line and needs a comprehensive rescue plan before there is any discussion of new revenue.
(Governor) Baker said he found the MTF report "compelling." "It raised some really serious issues about not just the history of the T but also the future of the T, and I think anybody really interested in the future of that organization should read that report and recognize that it was done by an organization that has a lot of credibility," Baker said(Matt Murphy/SHNS).

IPL digital rights' value pegged at Rs 240 crore per year as tech biggies enter fray
With the likes of Amazon, Reliance Jio, Twitter and Facebook all showing an interest in the digital rights for the IPL, experts feel digital rights would see a sharp increase in value, amounting to nearly 15 per cent of the television rights' value
With the likes of Amazon, Reliance Jio, Twitter and Facebook all showing an interest in the digital rights for the IPL, experts feel digital rights would see a sharp increase in value, amounting to nearly 15 per cent of the television rights' value.
TV rights are expected to reach in excess of Rs 16,000 crore for a period of 10 years or Rs 1,600 crore per year, according to industry sources. This is double the amount paid by Sony Pictures Network for the TV rights in 2008.
This would mean that digital rights would be around Rs 1200 crore for a period of 5 years or Rs 240 crore per year. Star India had acquired the digital rights for 2015-2017 period for just over Rs 100 crore per year. This year, the BCCI is offering digital rights for a period of 5 years as opposed to 3 years.
The most interesting facet is that tech companies like Facebook, Twitter and Amazon, along with Reliance Jio have also bought the ITT documents. Live streaming of sports has become a major focus area for many of the tech companies. Twitter has tied up with the NFL in the US to live stream its Thursday night football. In India, Twitter works closely with broadcasters for a number of sporting events though it does not have any live streaming partnerships yet. Twitter had not replied to our queries at the time of writing of the article but in an earlier interview, a Twitter spokesperson had acknowledged that live sporting events was a key area for Twitter.
Similarily, Facebook was the digital live streaming partner for the recently concluded Premier Futsal; which saw all the matches streaming on Facebook Live, the company's live streaming platform. Like Twitter, Facebook has also been actively working with broadcasters and team franchises when it comes to sporting events in India and across the globe.
Saurabh Doshi, Head of Media Partnerships at Facebook, agreed that sports were a major focus area for Facebook. He pointed out that Facebook Live had been growing in popularity recently, though he would not give further details on how Facebook planned to broadcast IPL matches if they won the rights.
"There are some really big names in the list. Amazon has also been getting into sports content globally. You can expect a fairly high value for the digital rights on the back of the huge tech companies showing interest and the benchmarking of digital and TV ad rights," said Arvind Iyengar, CEO of Sportz Interactive.

This light and refreshing salad is a loose interpretation of the popular Indonesian dish gado-gado. In our easy version, a spiced peanut dressing is blended until creamy and then tossed with thinly sliced raw baby bok choy, pineapple, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and scallions. To turn this healthy side dish into a flavorful meal, top it with some broiled tofu or Drunken Shrimp.
What to buy: Look for chile-garlic paste in the Asian section of your supermarket. We like the one made by Huy Fong Foods (with the rooster on the jar).
Game plan: You can prepare the vegetables a few hours ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator. The dressing can also be prepared a few hours ahead, but it may need to be reblended when you're ready to serve. Make sure to dress the salad just before serving; otherwise it'll wilt as it sits.
This recipe was featured as part of our Chunky, Unusual Summer Salads. For more quick and healthy side dishes, see our sautéed bok choy recipe.
For the salad:

These next blogs will look at the basic positions of collectivism and individualism mentioned in the previous post. We'll start first with collectivism, which is captured within the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. We'll use these two philosophers for a number of reasons. First, Plato was viewed by both Clement of Alexandria and Augustine as the Greek philosopher who came closest to understanding truth. Second, their writings have historically been used by many other philosophers to construct their own arguments, or used others work who had in turn had relied upon Plato and Aristotle. Scholasticism was an attempt to use Aristotle's logic and metaphysics frameworks to create a systematized Christian logic from the Middle Ages up to the time of our country's founding. The philosophic notions underlying the –isms of today also can be traced to the notions expressed by these philosophers.
Collectivism can be defined as a system in which the people as a whole, usually represented by a State, owns and controls the materials, means of production, and distribution of goods. Collectivism is concerned with both the ends and the method(s) used to obtain them. It has changed its words over the years, but not its goals; from the use of terms such as 'central planning' and 'production for use', to the 'urban crisis' and 'poverty in the midst of plenty', to the 'social justice' and 'economic justice' of today. These are just different wrappings over the same ideas. Collectivism can be understood by looking at some of its basic concepts and notions. These include:
These ideas were not new with Plato or Aristotle. There were the basic ideas which existed throughout the ancient world, and were generally incorporated into Greek philosophy. However, there are also some very different ideas expressed by both of these philosophers. This is captured in Raphael's 'The School of Athens'. The scene portrayed is a room filled with the most significant Greek philosophers engaged in thought and discussion. In the center of the portrait, Plato and his student Aristotle are seen walking together. An extract of that portion of the painting is shown below.
The painting beautifully points out a very basic difference between these two men. Plato is pointing to heaven and First Cause (God). Aristotle has his hand extended over the Earth and creation—representing man and his abilities. Clement clearly demonstrated that Plato knew the Hebrew Old Testament, but that he did not understand it. Plato saw the Old Testament writings as another truth to be incorporated into his own view of truth. As Aristotle was Plato's student, he was also likely exposed to those same ideas by his mentor. However, Aristotle chose a more traditional Greek philosophic framework to express his own thoughts and ideas.
In the next post we'll take a similar look at individualism. Then we'll begin with an area which both sides agreed was critical to the success of any society, the topic of education.
My goal is that my writing will help you to get started on your own journey of discovery, or help you along the way on a journey you may have already begun. Our Founders considered education, religion, morality, and virtue to be the cornerstones for any successful society. Being successful requires understanding both the languages of reason and faith; reason alone is insufficient.

Well, finally we've welcomed the last month of 2016. You can't imagine how I wish this, probably one of the worst years in history to end. I have a strong desire for the new year and a new beginning, a hope for this course of events.
November 2016 started with a family visit. My parents came to Ankara at last. Having them here and spending time together was great. We did bunch of things, you know family activities. We went to the aquarium which was the first time for me and Mr. T. Seeing those little creatures was fascinating. Underwater world is truly something else. But then the size of the livings started to get bigger and it was heartbreaking. There wasn't any mammals or anything but still you can't help it and it's unacceptable. I hope one day it will be their turn on this planet to live in peace, without us.
After my parents left, we were mostly at home. It's already really cold here in Ankara. I started to wear my real winter jumpers and I was like "Wtf? What am I suppossed to wear when it's really winter?" Anyway, it's a good reason to stay at home I think. I really hate winter…
While I was a homebody, I continued to decorate here and there at home. And we are back to our domestic activities. We started a new puzzle, we bake (yes we do), we play card games and watching series.
We watched Black Mirror -never a disappointment-. I liked every single episode in the newest season except the first one "Nosedive". We finished the first season of Westworld -another obsession of the month-.
Having a movie date was in our monthly goals list and we did it! We saw Dr. Strange. We also watched Coraline. I watched How To Get Away With Murder's new season like in two days. I'm really captivated by this series. I loooove Viola Davis and and adore Annalise Keating character. I also started to watch Steven Universe as my post-breakfast pleasure.
I've watched a lot this month but unfortunately couldn't read that much. I started reading Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and that's it.
I couldn't read much but we ate enough. As my parents were here, late breakfasts and long dinners were inevitable… Long story short, we ate like shit most of the month. But now it's time to recover. Thankfully, I love winter veggies and fruits more than summer ones.
Now that I need to leave because I'm going to cook br♥cc♥li. My love for broccoli is unexplainable. I haven't tried it yet but I guess I can eat it raw. Speaking of raw, I made a few changes in my nutrition lately which I'm going to talk about later and speaking of changes I finally had an haircut! I was willing to have it cut for a while but Susan Miller and my ruling planet were making me postpone it. Me, shorter the hair, happier I get and I'm looooving my new hair.
Anyway, I want to write here more this month. I'll share a recipe, our very delayed summer vacation post and video, maybe a 5 Things J'adore post if I have the chance but on top of these I want to share a new blog challenge for the new year. It won't be anything super special or unique. The aim is to visit and write here more. I'm planning it to be a combination of a writing and photography challenge because one of my new year resolutions is to take more photos. By the way, if you want to read my fierce thoughts about new year resolutions and goals please go back to 2014 with me. Aaaaand speaking of goals;
♥ Bake cookies We baked cheese crackers, not once but twice! ♥Movie & Theatre date nights We saw Dr. Strange and we took our parents to the play we saw last month.
♥Cook Risotto I'm going to try it this month.
♥Read 3 Books I'm ready for my walk of shame. Ding… Ding…
♥New Year Card ideas. I came up with a few things. ♥De-clutter A LOT and organize the rooms. Done
♥Make new year card. I don't want it to be a last munite thing.
♥Movie date night. Too many movies to see in theatres again.
♥Bake cookies again. This time I want to bake something sweat and easy.
♥Write down our New Year Resolutions. Mine and for our mutual goals.
♥Complete 52 Week Challenge and post. Fingers crosse
I wish you a beautiful December.

How to Customize Your Website for Foreign Users
If you want to succeed in this overly competitive world, you need to think beyond your local community. In the U.S., for example, Latin Americans are a growing economic powerhouse, so making sure that your eCommerce website offers a seamless experience for them is an excellent way to grow your business. Now, just imagine how much your company could grow if you would target foreign customers too.
With that in mind, here's how to give foreign prospects the possibility to explore your website in their native tongue.
Translate Your Content
Here's one of the simplest and most efficient way of customizing your website for foreign users: translating your content. Be careful how you approach this task, though. Nail it, and it can bring new customers to your business. Fail, and it may damage your reputation.
We know that most small businesses operate on a tight budget, but website translation isn't something you want to do superficially. The second a foreign user notices a grammar mistake, he or she deems your business is sloppy and unprofessional.
Don't worry if you can't afford professional translators. You can always hire freelancers that can do an excellent job for a fraction of the cost. For example, if you need to make a German version of your website, just look for a translator on professional websites like Preply. Search through this list here https://preply.com/en/skype/german-tutors and explain what you need.
Whatever you do, don't use Google Translate – it's full of errors, and unprofessional.
Work On Your Webpage Layout
Now that you've translated your content, make sure your visitors know that they have other language options.
Look for a web design template that will allow you to integrate a drop-down menu in the top-right corner of the page. It's easy to see and access and visitors can change the language with just a few clicks.
Design-wise, you can also opt for flag representations of each language, but in some cases, it can turn out to be confusing. Some countries can have more than one official language, for example.
You can also try using an automatic language detector which will show the web page in the user's preferred language. And last but not least, make sure that when users switch languages, they stay on the same page and are not redirected to the homepage.
Make Sure You're Using the Right Fonts
Translating your content and then pouring it into your website isn't enough if you want to attract backlinks and customers to your website. You also need to ensure the character encoding is set correctly, and that your web font is compatible with the languages you support. It can be especially tricky and challenging for non-Latin based languages since the font needs to have every single character and glyph.
Also, don't forget that some languages are denser than others and can take up more space. Make sure to design your website so that it looks good and delivers a flawless experience regardless of the language. Chances are you'll have to tweak here and there, either trying different translations, rephrasing, or changing the fonts.
Don't forget about language direction either! Whether LTR (left to right) or RTL (right to the left,) ensure that the coding is correct, especially if you're combining languages.
These are just a few things to keep in mind when you're preparing to launch an international website. Work your way from here and remember always to customize with your visitors' needs in mind.
Hello Nisha,
Great shout over here 🙂
This is high time and one wishes to succeed, then they should think globally rather than just sitting back to their own
region. Thanks to Internet, the global boundaries have been eradicated and now people sitting in the other corner
can have anything from any where in the globe.
One should definitely personalize their sites, so that it can attract foreign clients and it can be world famous.
Indeed getting a write translated text is very `essential, as some one is writing in English and they also want to get their
web site famous in the dutch countries or the German, so they need to get their text translated rightly so that they could
get the best possible results out of their blogs.
Thanks for the share.
Hi Nisha,
As always an interesting read. I agree with your points as I have personally tried this & I appreciate your efforts that you have selected this topic to write an article.
By the way, It's always pleasure to read your posts and comment.
~ Donna

An ambassador is the highest ranking honor one can achieve. You are representing a nation, and the reputation of that nation rests solely on your shoulders.
Among the elves, the ambassador is tasked with bringing hope and good counselling to the other races of Middle Earth.
It is your duty to bring the wisdom of the First Born to them.
But whether they choose to listen or not is entirely up to them.
I've been slaving away in Mirkwood this past week and finally reached Kindred with the Maladhrim, completing the "Ambassador of the Elves" deed. I was happy to get the steed and quickly began looking for inspiration for an outfit that would go with it. I stumbled across a beautiful sketch by Alan Lee (the guy who did the concept art for the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy). You can see it "here". With the severe lack of shiny armor in Lotro, it took me awhile to find pieces that would do it justice. It didn't turn out quite like I hoped, but I was pleased with it.

Rings and bracelets have been around for thousands of years. The first major technological advance on these was the wristwatch – which became popular during the First World War. Now, we're inserting technology into many things – smart bracelets, watches and rings are becoming common. And technology is also making it into other items that we wear.
Energy generation, distribution, and storage are quickly expanding markets due to increasing demand and the need to meet targets set by government policy. Increased efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions, and a focus on renewable and clean energy are key factors in this Energy Infrastructure Evolution.

There's no denying that this wedding is absolutely gorgeous and one-of-a-kind, considering that it's also the very first wedding held at Marini's on 57. Soren and Lavinne are a cool couple who loves life and really knows how to have a good time and this modern, stylish and unconventional venue is simply the perfect fit to their personality. At first visit, it seemed almost impossible to host a sit down dinner of 200 people at this venue. The restaurant is built with a circular architecture, split into 3 different rooms that are connected through the outdoor lounge. We decided on using 2 rooms for the dinner reception and the 3rd room, i.e. the bar for the pre-dinner cocktail and after party. Working with the existing interior of the space, we called it the "Diamond" and "Platinum" rooms, ensuring that the theme was carried through the decoration and details.
For the Diamond room, we worked with white and silver, clean lines with a crisp finish. For the Platinum room, black and gilded gold candlelabras filled the room with a slightly more ornate yet masculine finishing. It was like Ying and Yang. Yet, we needed to sure that even with the difference in colours, the overall wedding style still flowed through as one. Subtle details that may not be noticeable included the menu cards, which at first glance looks the same but one is with gold lining while the other is with a silver lining. For Lavinne and Soren, white symbolizes faith while black embodies elegance.
The outdoor lounge served as the venue for the wedding ceremony, just 2 hours before the dinner. With an astro turf and a green hedged wall, Lavinne and Soren recited their vows against the towering, iconic Petronas Twin Towers as the backdrop. After that it was canapés and champagne with a majestic sunset view of the KL city skyline. Eventhough this wedding was held several years ago, the timeless design still looks relevant today, and we noticed the same design being copied over and over again.
The Meet
"I hadn't been to Denmark but I heard Denmark is the world's happiest country. I always wondered if that was true, that is until I met Soren. Soren is one of the few happy Danes I met in Kuala Lumpur, we met at a random event 5 years ago. We both are sociable people due to work mostly. We always had a lot of good time talking, poking fun and laughing over everything whenever we see each other at many events. We have never thought we would click so well despite our different cultural background, on top of that we also had a lot in common. LOVE sprouted gradually without us knowing it was love or friendship. The answer became clear when Soren had to move to Hong Kong for work."
The Proposal
"Soren's a really sensitive and romantic man. He's also a very good planner. He planned the proposal at the Maldives in February 2015, which I'd thought was just another vacation and romantic dinner on the beach. The Eiffel Tower in Paris was going to be his plan B. It took me by surprise because he's actually not very good at keeping surprises from me. I said yes to the man I wanted to spend my life with when he got down on one knee, along with his very sentimental yet funny proposal speech (which he claimed to be his new rap – he loves to rap), and the perfect ring on a beautiful island."

If you possess a device with two or more wheels which also relies on self-powered conveyance, and like to do tricks on said device, there's a good chance Ramp Riders is your kind of place. It's a 30,000 square-foot indoor skate park housed in a former Falstaff Brewery warehouse just off Gravois Avenue in Benton Park. Hidden beyond the questionable exterior is a wonder world of wooden ramps, quarter pipes and rails that's known as one of the top skate parks in the region. The atmosphere is a bit janky — old mattresses strapped around structural support beams will do that — but this is definitely a professional operation. The pro shop can take care of any purchases or repairs you might need, and helmets are required to use the park. Admission is $10 and $65 gets you a 10-session pass. Private lessons are also available and you can even rent the facility, just like Lil' Wayne did when he was in town on a tour stop.

do one's (own) thing
To do what one is interested in or skilled at, rather than simply doing what everyone else does. You don't have to go to med school just because your sister did—you need to do your own thing. Andrea is very independent and usually just does her own thing.

Also, do one's own thing. Pursue one's interests or inclination; do what one does best or enjoys the most. For example, I really give him credit for doing his thing and not being discouraged by what the critics say , or Phyllis is busy doing her own thing, running the magazine and publishing books. Although this colloquialism became closely associated with the counterculture of the 1960s, it is actually much older. In one of his essays (1841) Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: "But do your thing and I shall know you." However, it came into wide use only during the mid-1900s.

CHICAGO—Orlando Hudson singled in the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night.
Dayan Viciedo had a one-out single, and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Alexei Ramirez then flew out to centre, and Hudson followed with the winning single.
Chicago avoided a sweep to improve to 15-4 in its last 19 games.
The White Sox pitched out of trouble in the eighth and ninth innings. With Yunel Escobar on third with one out in the eighth, Nate Jones struck out Omar Vizquel and got Yan Gomes on a forceout. In the ninth, Addison Reed struck out Kelly Johnson to end the inning with Jose Bautista on second.
Reed (1-1) earned his first major league victory. Francisco Cordero (1-2) was the loser.
Toronto took a 3-1 lead with a three-run second. David Cooper and Escobar led off with singles and scored on Mike McCoy's bases-loaded single. Toronto added another run on an error by Alexei Ramirez. He made a diving stop on a grounder up the middle, but flipped the ball wide of second attempting to make a force, allowing J.P. Arencibia to score.
The White Sox tied it in the sixth when Alex Rios followed Paul Konerko's single with home run that just cleared the wall in left field. Chicago opened the scoring in the first on Rios' RBI single.
Jake Peavy started for Chicago, but struggled with his command. He battled through six-plus innings allowing four hits and five walks. He also hit a batter.
Henderson Alvarez pitched seven innings of three-run ball for the Blue Jays, after posting a 6.08 ERA over his previous four outings.
Konerko returned to the lineup for the White Sox after missing three games with a bone spur in his left wrist. The American League's leading hitter at .371, he singled twice in three at-bats and drew a walk.
NOTES: Prior to the game, the White Sox placed OF Kosuke Fukudome on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right Oblique and called up OF Jordan Danks. Danks made his major league debut when he pinch ran in the eighth. He's the brother of White Sox LHP John Danks, currently on the disabled list with a strained shoulder. . . . The White Sox host Houston on Friday night, with Gavin Floyd (4-5, 4.32) on the mound. The Jays travel to Atlanta, where Kyle Drabek (4-6, 4.35 ERA) will face Brandon Beachy (5-4, 1.87 ERA).

I sit here with this question ringing in my head since a friend so bluntly asked me this on Friday.
"I don't know."
I sat there struggling to find words because I realized I have no idea. I continued to tell him that I don't know if I will ever feel happy again. I explained that I may appear happy, angry or even sad but I don't feel it. I don't feel it inside. I feel nothing. I feel like an empty vessel. I think if you shook me I would sound hollow and the echoes would carry on forever.
I began to sob and without thinking he pulled me towards him wrapping his arms around me. We sat there for what felt like a lifetime in silence while I sobbed on his shoulder aching to feel something. Anything.

Hospital Payment Systems Based on Diagnosis-Related Groups: Experiences in Low- and Middle-Income countries/Systemes Des Hopitaux Bases Sur Des Groupes Homogenes De Diagnostic: Experience Dans Les Pays a Revenu Faible et moyen/Sistemas De Pago Hospitalario Basados En Grupos Relacionados Por El Diagnostico: Experiencias En Paises De Ingresos Bajos Y Medianos
Mathauer, Inke, Wittenbecher, Friedrich, Bulletin of the World Health Organization
A key factor for a more rapid move towards universal health coverage is the efficient use of resources, coupled with increased resource mobilization and improved pooling. Substantial efficiency gains could be made by reforming hospital payment mechanisms, (1) especially since expenditure on hospital services comprises one of the largest shares of total health-care spending in all countries, regardless of their income level. (1,2)
Payment systems based on diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) are one type of such hospital payment mechanisms, along with capitation payments, global budgets and a combination thereof. Although DRG-based payment systems are now mainly understood as a reimbursement mechanism, their original purpose was to enable performance comparisons across hospitals. (3-5) Today DRGs are used primarily by purchasers to reimburse providers for acute inpatient care, but in principle they can also be used to reimburse them for non-acute inpatient care. By definition, DRGs classify cases according to the following variables: principal and secondary diagnoses, patient age and sex, the presence of co-morbidities and complications and the procedures performed. Cases classified as belonging to a particular DRG are characterized by a homogenous resource consumption pattern and, at the same time, DRGs are clinically meaningful. Thus, cases within the same DRG are economically and medically similar. (2,3) DRG-based payment systems are often referred to as "case-based" or "case-mix-based", yet DRG-based and case-mix-based payment systems are not the same. Even though the two overlap and are separated in practice by fluid boundaries, a DRG-based system is different in that it is based on a DRG grouping algorithm. (4) In fact, the two core design characteristics of a DRG-based payment system are: (i) an exhaustive patient case classification system (i.e. the system of diagnosis-related groupings) and (ii) the payment formula, which is based on the base rate multiplied by a relative cost weight specific for each DRG. (2)
Since the 1990s, payments based on DRGs have gradually become the principal means of reimbursing hospitals for acute inpatient care in most high-income countries. (5) The most frequent reasons for introducing DRG-based payments are to increase efficiency and contain costs. (5) Street et al. have reviewed the little evidence that is available on the impact of different DRG-based payment systems in high-income countries in Europe. (6) Their findings suggest that DRGs generally help to increase hospital efficiency by reducing the average length of stay but that they also increase case volumes.
Meanwhile, more and more low- and middle-income countries have begun to explore or have established DRG-based payment systems, mostly for the reimbursement of acute inpatient care. With the exception of country papers or manuals on how to introduce case-based payment and DRGs, (5,7) there is no comprehensive overview of DRG practices in low- and middle-income countries. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by being the first to provide a comprehensive overview and assessment of DRG experiences in low- and middle-income countries. Its purpose is to compile country experiences and to explore the design and implementation issues that low- and middle-income countries face. Ultimately it will be a source of policy lessons for policy-makers in other low- and middle-income countries who are deliberating on whether or not--and, if so, how--to move towards a DRG-based payment system. Because the evidence is scanty and impact evaluations are few, this paper cannot review the impact of DRG-based payment systems. It can only provide illustrative examples of policy lever effects, primarily from countries that have already established a DRG-based payment system.
The following section briefly outlines the methods and core design components that we followed in assessing countries' experiences with DRG-based payment systems. …

my download speed is apprx. 11kbps
i tried many accelerators like dap n all....but of no use
dey tried to decrease my speed to 6....so is der ne method to increase download speed??..
i use ccn broadband.....128kbps
The 1st thing you need to do is confirm your speed. I never heard of 128k broadband...that's pretty slow. You should have two ratings, download & upload. Try running this & see what you come up with:
Sounds like old ISDN speed. If 128K is your "true connect" speed being sold by your provider, then I could believe an 11K download speed. (usually 1/10th of your connect speed).
My download speed is nearly 12kpbs. I chk this from ip-speedtest. I want to increase the speed. Is that possible, if so how can i increase it?
Hi Guys,
If you are frustrated by slow speed of your BSNL Broad band Internet speed then there is nothing to worry about it. I'm giving you few TIPS & TWEAKS which will surely help you to increase your Internet speed but do it on your own risk. For me its work GREAT. As you all know sharing knowledge will help you to increase your knowledge, so please do share your knowledge.
BSNL usually provide LAN Broadband 256 kbps (kilo bits per second) connection. Don't be fool when you connect to internet and its state the speed of 10 or 100 Mbps. Its only states that your copper telephone cable or connections have the CAPACITY to provide that kind of speed. In our country (India) the fastest internet connection is 8 mbps (mega bits per second) which is provided by BSNL and Airtel planning to launch its 8 mbps DSL broadband service next year.
Before Starting check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net/ . while checking your speed do not use any other internet based program.
This TIPS & TWEAKS is for WINDOW XPTM PRO USERS ONLY
By default (even with QoS disabled) Windows XP reserves up to 20 percent of your connections bandwidth.
To override this reserve take the following steps.
Make sure you Log on as Administrator, not as a user with Administrator privileges.
* Start > Run > type gpedit.msc
* You will see [Local Computer Policy]
* Expand the [Administrative Templates] branch
* Expand the [Network] branch
* Highlight [QoS Packet Scheduler]
* Double-click [Limit Reservable Bandwidth]
* Check [Enabled]
* Change [Bandwidth limit %] to 0 %
* Click [Apply] [OK]
* Restart
If you share your computer then either turn off other computer or limit it reservable bandwidth by the following tips:-
* Start > Run > type gpedit.msc
* You will see [Local Computer Policy]
* Expand the [Administrative Templates] branch
* Expand the [Network] branch
* Highlight [QoS Packet Scheduler]
* Double-click [Limit Reservable Bandwidth]
* Check [Enabled]
* Change [Bandwidth limit %] to 60 % or 70% or 80%
* Click [Apply] [OK]
* Restart
This process will limit the bandwidth of the sharing computer.
Use good processor & minimum 2GB of RAM
For surfing the Net I recommend all of you to use Mozilla Firefox (latest version). Don't use Internet Explorer its bulls---. Do not open more than three pages at the same time coz it will divide the bandwidth & slowdown you're Surfing. Also do not download more than two files (if both file is more than 30mb combing).
If you guys like to use some software which claims that its increases your internet speed I recommend only
TCP/IP Optimizer. Other software is bulls---. You can download TCP/IP Optimizer from www.speedguide.net . Please follow the instruction provide in the site and then install in your PC.
Use CCLEANER to clean your registry, its safe & fast. You can download it from www.piriform.com or www.filehippo.com
Use Light weight Anti-Virus or Internet security, I recommend Kaspersky. If you use Kaspersky or Zone Alarm then there is no need to run window defender & window firewall, just turn it off.
install a powerfull internet security on ur computer,nd delete some downloaded files
i m using Reliance Netconnect Broadband+,

- You may be looking for the species of bird.
The Firebird was a Soviet submarine in operation during the Cold War. In 1983, it was under the command of Captain Zhukov on a routine oil exploration run at the North Pole. There, its crew discovered an Ice Warrior buried in a block of ice. When awakened, this Ice Warrior, Skaldak, took over the sub and proposed to use its nuclear payload to start a full-blown nuclear war through the principle of mutually assured destruction. Only the intervention of the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald allowed the submarine to once again safely come under Zhukov's control. (TV: Cold War)

It seems like it has been a few years since the garden looked like this. In reality it was only 6 months ago. Today it looks like this…
Record low temps and snowfall for February are really making me miss working in the garden.
For now I thought I would post some before and during winter pictures.
I am really anxious to get back outside working. All the motivation I lost for gardening at the end of last year is back now and I don't have anything to put it into.
I will start organizing my seeds, ordering seeds, and starting plants indoors this month so hopefully that will take the edge off.
Ridiculous amount of snow around our house.

Deep Watering Trees
Young Trees
- For the first three years, young trees need slow, deep watering during the dry season. This is usually from April to October, but may be longer.
- Water deeply by setting your hose on a slow trickle or using a soaker hose near the base of the tree. Leave the hose on trickle for about 2 hours.
- On average, your tree will need 15 gallons of water per week.
- Water two to three times per week depending on how hot and dry it is outside.
- Remember that watering your lawn will not replace the need to deeply water young trees. Deep water encourages roots to grow down. Sprinklers leave water on the surface and encourage roots to grow along the surface - causing problems in the future.
Soil Tips:
Check for Moisture:
Before watering, check your soil to see if the tree needs more water. Probe the soil near the root ball 8-12 inches below the surface. A screw driver can be handy for this. If the soil feels moist and sticky, allow it to dry for several more days before watering again. If the soil feels dry and crumbly, water deeply.
Check for Drainage:
To determine how well your soil drains, dig an 18 inch hole about one foot deep (width does not matter). Fill the hole with water and let it drain out all day and overnight. Fill the hole to the top with water the next day. Place a stick in the center of the hole and mark the water level on the stick. Mark the stick again after 30 minutes and then again each hour to measure the water level.
Poorly drained soil will drain about one-half inch per hour. Moderately draining soil will drain ½ to 1 inch per hour. In soil that is well drained, water will recede 1 inch or more per hour.
Mature Trees
Deep water your trees to allow all the roots to absorb moisture.
- The best way to deep water trees is to use a soaker hose that slowly applies water to the soil over several hours. Sprinklers may be used to water deeply by watering until water begins to run off, then waiting at least an hour or two to resume watering. This should be repeated until water has penetrated at least two to three feet in depth.
- Special care needs to be taken when watering on a slope. Water around and beyond the dripline of mature trees where the roots are, not near the base of the trunk.
- Watering during our rainless months varies greatly depending on the tree species, daily temperatures, and location in the yard, as well as soil texture, structure and depth. Click here for a table of water needs for mature trees.
- Use a shovel or soil sampling tube to check the depth of moisture to at least a foot.
- Established drought tolerant trees may need occasional watering at one or two month intervals. California native oaks, California laurel, cork oak, Chinese pistache and goldenrain trees can be damaged and short lived with frequent summer watering.
- Moisture adapted trees such as birches, redwoods, magnolias and red maples may need regular deep watering throughout their lives to look their best and perform well. These and other species greatly benefit from an occasional deep watering to the depth of at least a foot once or twice a month.
- Trees in or near lawn areas with frequent shallow watering may develop surface roots.
- Poorly adapted Monterey pine, Leyland cypress and giant sequoia are prone to insect damage and diseases in hot dry interior areas regardless of how much water they are given.

Often misunderstood as an aggressive and vicious guard dog, given the right training, environment and owner, the Rottweiler can be a joy to live with! Rottweilers tend to only show aggression when they are threatened. The large breed requires a moderate amount of exercise to keep them in good health and are not suited to living in small units or apartments.
With a happy disposition, these guys are more than happy to try and curl up with you on the lounge like a big teddy bear although care does need to be taken with regards to chewing as they jaws of the Rottweiler can make short work of furniture in a very short amount of time.

Vision for the EUGMS
The EUGMs is only 15 years old, still a teenager! It has made great progress. The most significant achievement is the ever improving annual Congress, but it is clear that it has also had impact on EU policy (medications), international scientific thinking (eg. sarcopenia) and international education (eg. TNT Geriatrics). EUGMS is now the European voice for the specialty. It needs to be heard more often, in more places, with loud and clear messages.
But we have several challenges for the next 5 years:
- To become financially independent and sustainable, by securing new sources of funds or its activities, reducing its reliance on the Congress and industry support.
- To support the development of Geriatric Medicine Services across Europe in an age of austerity. We can help by production of scientific and clinical guidelines, reports and position papers concerning the older patient. We can aim to develop quality standards in Geriatric Medicine, for EU wide implementation. Better care for older citizens usually means more efficient health care services. This is an important lesson to disseminate.
- We already support improving standards of education and training and must continue to work with colleagues in UEMS. We are primarily an organisation of doctors, but we can also develop influence and common purpose with other health professionals.
- EUGMS can support networking across European geriatricians, especially young clinicians and scientists who will be the future leaders. We can be leaders in the creation of a European Institute of Ageing, fostering the development of research and clinician scientists but also to the public, other health care professionals, and the scientific community.
- We must represent the interests of older patients and geriatric medicine at the EU: to be influential, we need to build alliances with organisations representing patients, older citizens, and policy makers.
