Health Cost Transparency Passes Senate Floor
Legislation to increase price transparency for consumers (SF 3480) passed off the Senate Floor on Tuesday May 1. The first part of the bill amends current law that says that a provide or a health plan, upon request from a patient, must provide a "good faith estimate of the allowable payment the provider has agreed to accept" from the health plan for a service. The bill states that the estimate must be provided within 10 days of the request. It also clarifies that a health plan cannot prohibit a provider from disclosing this payment information in their provider contract.
The second part of the bill requires primary care providers to post in their reception area a list of their services that cost over $25 that correspond with the provider's top 25 CPT codes that are most frequently billed. Included in the list must be the top 10 most frequently billed E & M codes and 10 most frequently billed preventive service codes. The list must include four payments: The average reimbursement rate received from the commercial payers, the Medicare allowable payment, the Medical Assistance fee-for-service rate, and the providers charge for a patient who is paying cash.
The House companion bill is awaiting final action on the House floor. If signed into law it would become effective July 1, 2019. MAFP members will have to work with their clinic staff to ensure they are in compliance.
MAFP Weighs in on Elder Abuse Reforms
In response to a series of media reports on abuse to residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities legislation (SF 3437) is moving to provide more protections to vulnerable adults. Among other things, the bill strengthens the Patients' Bill of Rights to clarify that it applies to assisted living facilities and those receiving home care services. It prohibits a provider of those services from requiring or even requesting that a patient waive his or her rights.
The controversial portion of the bill has been related to whether more regulation of licensure is needed for assisted living facilities. The version that is moving delays a decision on that question and instead creates several task forces and work groups to develop recommendations on the licensing standards.
The MAFP sent a letter to legislative leaders urging strong action to provide protections to vulnerable adults living in these facilities. MAFP President Dr. Glen Nemec asked that legislation be strengthened "to provide immediate protections against arbitrary discharges in assisted living facilities; protections against retaliation; and clearer authority for the Assisted Living Task Force to develop licensure standards." He also asked that "legislators to include an MAFP selected physician(s) with geriatric care skills to the list of task force members to provide input to the legislative groups developing solutions."
Passage of elder abuse protections remains a top priority for the legislature.
Step Therapy Reforms Moving
A bill to enhance the authority for physicians to override step therapy requirements set by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), (HF 3196) cleared the Senate Finance Committee on May 1 and awaits action on the Senate floor. The bill passed the House on May 7.
Under the bills authored by Sen. Paul Utke (R - Park Rapids) and Rep. Kelly Fenton (R - Woodbury), physicians may seek an override of a health plan's step therapy requirement in certain instances, including when a patient has previously tried and failed a step requirement, when the patient is currently receiving a positive therapeutic outcome on a particular medication, and when a drug is medically contraindicated, or the required drug will "decrease the ability of the enrollee to achieve or maintain reasonable functional ability in performing daily activities." Additionally, the bill requires that health plans enrollees and providers have access to a clear, readily accessible, and convenient process to request a step therapy override.
In a parliamentary move to increase the chances of passage, the bill's authors are seeking passage of their proposals both as "stand alone" bills as well as including the language in the omnibus budget bills.
Bill to Prohibit "Gag Clauses" in Pharmacy Clears Senate
An effort to protect consumers from inflated costs for pharmaceuticals passed the state Senate by a unanimous 67-0 vote on May 1. The bill (SF 2836) , authored by Sen. Scott Jensen, MD (R - Chaska) and MAFP member, would preclude pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from prohibiting pharmacists from telling patients that their prescription drug may be cheaper if purchased with cash rather than using their insurance benefit.
Legislators have expressed increasing concern with the role of PBMs, with many arguing that PBMs interfere with patient care while adding significant administrative burdens to physicians and clinics.
The House companion is authored by Rep. Roz Peterson (R - Lakeville). Her bill awaits action on the House floor, and the language of her bill is also included in the budget omnibus.
Opioids Continue to be Dominant Health Care Issue
Members of both parties and in both legislative bodies continue to debate efforts to reduce the harms of opioids, and several proposals are moving through different vehicles.
Much of the discussion during the 2018 session has focused upon a bill (SF 730) authored by Sen. Julie Rosen (R - Vernon Center) and Rep. Dave Baker (R - Willmar). The original version of the legislation, dubbed the "penny-a-pill bill," levied a fee on opioid manufacturers based upon the morphine milligram equivalent (MME) of the drug, with the goal of funding additional treatment, enhancements to the prescription monitoring program (PMP), and to offset the costs of drug abuse for the state and counties. Given fierce opposition from drug manufacturers, anti-tax advocates, the Chamber of Commerce, and others, the authors have been forced to consider alternate funding sources. The Senate has proposed an increase in the licensing fee for opioid manufacturers and opioid wholesalers, while the House has proposed using the state's General Fund. Advocates, including many in the physician and hospital community, have been strongly urging legislators to make certain that manufacturers bear some of the cost that opioid abuse and addiction has caused.
In addition to the funding source, several policy provisions remain in discussion. The House has included in their omnibus proposal a requirement that all prescribers receive two hours of CME related to opioids. The Senate includes a mandate that prescribers check the PMP before prescribing opioids, though it offers several exceptions, including emergencies, hospice care, and cancer-related pain. Importantly, this provision does not take effect until 2020. Legislators have delayed the effective date to allow the Board of Pharmacy to work with its vendors to integrate the PMP into electronic health records. The bill's authors have committed to working with the prescribing community to include other exceptions that may be appropriate.
The Senate is also considering a seven-day dose limit for opioid prescriptions to treat acute pain. Physicians groups are arguing forcefully that the dose limit must include language to allow prescribers to deviate from the limit if in their professional medical judgment a patient requires a larger volume.
MAFP Sends Member Call to Action on Gun Violence
With the Legislature taking very little action on the issues related to gun violence the MAFP sent an all-member call-to-action asking members to contact their legislators to encourage them to support reasonable gun ownership laws related to universal background checks for all gun purchases and efforts to allow law enforcement to temporarily remove a firearm if family members are concerned about safety of an individual. Support for these two bills arises from the MAFP Board of Directors and House of Delegates action to actively work to address the public health problem of increased gun violence.
Legislative efforts to pass these two bills have been stalled by legislative leaders who believe these efforts interfere with the protections provided in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Instead of passing stronger gun laws, the Legislature has been focusing on strengthening schools in response to the school shootings in Florida.

FAA Study Shows Fatigue Problems Among Air Traffic Controllers
Fatigue can have a substantial impact on your ability to complete a task successfully. In the aviation industry, studies on fatigue have often focused on pilots. Fatigue is also a potential safety hazard for others in the aviation industry, including air traffic controllers. A study of controllers completed in 2011 shows that the typical work schedules used in the industry can lead to chronic fatigue.

EU nations have refused to back a limited extension of the pesticide glyphosate's use, threatening withdrawal of Monsanto's Roundup and other weedkillers from shelves if no decision is reached by the end of the month.
Contradictory findings on the carcinogenic risks of the chemical have thrust it into the centre of a dispute among EU and US politicians, regulators and researchers.
The EU executive, after failing to win support in two meetings earlier this year for a proposal to renew the licence for glyphosate for up to 15 years, had offered a limited 12 to 18 month extension to allow time for further scientific study.
It hopes a study by the European Union's Agency for Chemical Products (ECHA) will allay health concerns.
Despite the compromise, the proposal failed to win the qualified majority – the support of member states representing at least 65% of the EU's population – needed for adoption, an EU official said.
Seven member states abstained from Monday's vote, 20 backed the proposal and one voted against, a German environment ministry spokeswoman said.
European commissioners will discuss the issue at a meeting on Tuesday, a commission spokesman said.
Failing a majority decision, the EU executive may submit its proposal to an appeal committee of political representatives of the 28 member states within one month. If, again, there is no decision, the European commission may adopt its own proposal.
The controversy overhangs German chemicals group Bayer's $62bn offer in May to buy US seeds company Monsanto. Germany was among those which abstained from Monday's vote and has in the past opposed Monsanto's genetically modified seeds.
Commenting on the decision, the Green's environment and food safety spokesperson Bart Staes MEP said: "We applaud those EU governments who are sticking to their guns and refusing to authorise this controversial toxic herbicide. There are clear concerns about the health risks with glyphosate, both as regards it being a carcinogen and an endocrine disruptor. Moreover, glyphosate's devastating impact on biodiversity should have already led to its ban. Thankfully, the significant public mobilisation and political opposition to re-approving glyphosate has been taken seriously by key EU governments, who have forced the EU commission to back down.
"The commission must stop continuing to try and force through the approval of glyphosate. Such a move would raise major democratic concerns about the EU's decision-making process."

Are Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Händel, Haydn and all the others just irrelevant dead old white men? Or does classical music still have a place in the modern world? Well, supporters of Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland would say yes. But many would argue that this art form is becoming less relevant in the modern age. The Three Tenors did a lot to popularise classical music after the FIFA World Cup in 1990 in Italy.
There has always been a clash of cultures between so-called 'high art' (perceived as a pursuit of the haughty) and 'low art' (popular music that often takes the world by storm and defines cultural periods). But surely there is a link between the two? Has the one not led to the other?
Interestingly, classical music is actually a misnomer. The music that has come about as a result of the 'classical' period does not encompass all the music that is loosely defined as classical today. Also, many an artist has studied the classics, in order to perfect the contemporary. Pianists and guitarists study classical composers and techniques, to be able to perfect their own modern sounds. Even modern painting and modern literature have been modeled on what has past. We cannot escape our history, and it has defined our present and our future – but in a good way.
A judge at a popular battle of the bands contest stated, for example, that heavy metal has some of its roots in classical music, particularly Wagnerian opera. This makes perfect sense, if you listen to the drama of the heavy metal, with power chords, huge sounds, and climaxes that screech through the music. The head-banging and long-hair swaying of the guitar soloists and thelead singers would match that of any diva singing her dying aria.
Some people have suggested that life imitates art. In the case of music, that seems to be true. Like it or hate it, Mozart and Van Halen, and Beethoven and Bieber, have more in common than we often care to admit. It's all music, after all, whatever taste tickles your fancy.

COL4A5 gene
collagen type IV alpha 5 chain
The COL4A5 gene provides instructions for making one component of type IV collagen, which is a flexible protein. Specifically, this gene makes the alpha5(IV) chain of type IV collagen. This chain combines with two other types of alpha (IV) chains (the alpha3 and alpha4 chains) to make a complete type IV collagen molecule. Type IV collagen molecules attach to each other to form complex protein networks. These networks make up a large portion of basement membranes, which are thin sheet-like structures that separate and support cells in many tissues. Type IV collagen alpha3-4-5 networks play an especially important role in the basement membranes of the kidney, inner ear, and eye.
More than 400 mutations in the COL4A5 gene have been found to cause Alport syndrome. Most of these mutations change single protein building blocks (amino acids) in a region where the alpha5(IV) collagen chain combines with other type IV collagen chains. Other mutations in the COL4A5 gene severely decrease or prevent the production of alpha5(IV) chains. As a result, there is a serious deficiency of the type IV collagen alpha3-4-5 network in the basement membranes of the kidney, inner ear, and eye. In the kidney, other types of collagen accumulate in the basement membranes, eventually leading to scarring of the kidneys and kidney failure. Mutations in this gene can also lead to abnormal function in the inner ear, resulting in hearing loss.

Hey Casey! These drawings are genius. So beautifully rendered and subtle. I'm not surprised by how good they are...but you know how there are just some images you have to look at 50 times because you keep thinking, "Man, that's good." Yeah.

anonymous--thanks for the visit. Please do keep checking back.
Jason--thanks, man. Keep up the everyday paintings, I'm really enjoying going to your blog to see what you've painted each day.
ms. bliss--I'm glad that you commented, I was wondering if you were still visiting my blog. Happy to know you are. Thanks for the flattering words. What's interesting with these drawing is that I'll get them to the point where I think they're pretty darn good then show them to WW for a "critique". And he's always able to find something in them where I can make an area a little better or a line a little nicer which just make the piece so much better. He's definitely helped me take my work to another level.

Last week Robin McGraw debuted her skincare collection called Robin McGraw Revelation in collaboration with dermatologist Dr. Jessica Wu. In an effort to "encourage women to put themselves first and embrace their own beauty, health and happiness" McGraw wanted to create a line for women to have the ability to take care of themselves.
Utilizing Dr. Wu's 20 years of dermatology experience, McGraw saw the opportunity to help women everywhere with an offer of professional-grade skincare products at attainable prices. The luxury skincare regimen includes Foaming Joy! Purifying Facial Cleanser, Polish to Perfection Micro Polishing & Exfoliating Scrub, Hydrated Skin = Youth Plump Perfecting Moisturizer, The Eyes Have It Power Peptide Eye Cream, Vita-Boost Vitamin Infusion Serum, Up, Up & Away Firming Neck & Decollete Cream, and 50 Fierce Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Moisturizer & Sunscreen. Additionally, there are two amazing nighttime treatments for overnight skincare benefits: Hydra Qwench Moisturizing Night Cream and Welcome Back Youth Retinol Serum. For those who has special skincare needs there is OMG! Is This Really Me? Instant Face Shaper, Face It, You Look Amazing! Revitalizing Serum, Twinkle Twinkle, You're A Star Triple Action Brightening Polish, Starlight, Face Bright Triple Action Brightening Night Cream, and Let There Be Bright!

Wow! That's a whole lot of products. How's a girl to choose? Personally, I am drawn to the Hydra Qwench Moisturizing Night Cream for that extra boost of moisture over night and the Vita-Boost Vitamin Infusion Serum, which I mix into the moisturizing night cream because it's packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Provitamin B5 and Ferulic Acid, to help balance skin tone and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation. With these two already packed in my nighttime skincare bag, I look forward to trying and testing the entire collection!

On-loan Greg Leigh looks ahead to his first taste of FA Cup action
Crewe Alexandra's on-loan full-back Greg Leigh says he cannot wait for this weekend's FA Cup tie against Sheffield United. His parent club Manchester City have kindly given permission for Leigh to appear in the FA Cup for Crewe and the left-footed is eagerly anticipating the chance to play in a knockout competition.
Ahead of this weekend's first round tie at the Alexandra Stadium, Greg told Crewe Alex Player: "It's my first experience of the FA Cup and I'm really excited. I know the other lads are excited too, but for me personally it's really exciting to be part of such a prestigious competition.
"FA Cup days are definitely different to normal league games but I'm sure, as a club, Manchester City will want me to get that experience under my belt, and it's all about experience. Playing in the competition is only going to be beneficial for me.
"I wouldn't agree with people saying the Cup has lost all its glory, I think it's definitely a competition all teams aspire to do well in, right through the lower leagues and non-league up to the Premiership.
"For me personally I want to work hard to try and get the win because I want to get through to the next round. I can't wait to get on the pitch and have that feeling of the straight knockout competition."

Personal or social networks are groups of individuals who are related to each other by specific types of relationships, such as school, work, family, and friends. Since referrals account for approximately 30% of external hires regardless of the size of the organization, you should start exploring social-networking sites as a way to expand your universe of contacts.
Social-networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace (NWS), and LinkedIn, are among the most visited sites on the Internet—just behind the major search engines—according to Internet traffic-monitoring service Alexa.
The demographics of MySpace and Facebook are younger than those of the general population. Facebook, the leading site for college students, lists more than 3 million users ages 25 to 34, 400,000 users from 35 to 44, and more than 100,000 who are 45 and older. LinkedIn boasts a membership of 8 million professionals. Most user profiles are richer than any standard résumé in content and context.
Building a social network online is fast—you can click and e-mail your way to a large network almost instantly. Whether you are looking to hire people or for employment, such networks can be a future source of jobs and talent. Here are some guidelines for getting connected.

First, identify a social network that you feel comfortable joining. For example, MySpace has different "networks" such as Technology and Marketing that facilitate access to people in these fields. When deciding which site to join, browse the sites' different networks and subfields to determine which have areas that meet your needs or interests.
Next, build your profile carefully, making sure that the information is accurate. Profiles are generally considered public, so don't include anything you wouldn't want everyone to know, such as information that could hamper your job search efforts (e.g., salary information or excruciating detail about social activities). Review other profiles and match their style and content when building your own. A strong word of caution: The Internet has a long memory. Confidential or inappropriate information can be unearthed easily by a recruiter, supervisor, or anyone else with an Internet connection—often for years to come.
Once you build a profile, start connecting with other members and invite your current contacts to join. The more connections you make, the more likely you are to reach someone of importance to you. Just one contact can lead to thousands of networked contacts without a single phone call. This is one of the reasons LinkedIn has more than 100,000 recruiters as members.
Build relationships by regularly sharing information, such as commenting on a person's profile, article, or blog. A deeper online profile enhances your importance to the community, increasing the likelihood a target employer will notice you. If the profile shows depth of experience and expert opinion on relevant topics, it can help differentiate one candidate from another. Recruiters regularly Google candidates and check social-networking boards to find out more about an individual.
Even if you are not looking for a job, recruiters may be looking for you. By demonstrating your expertise in certain industries, you may be presented with better job opportunities. Also, by frequently sharing information, you can potentially build an industry reputation that may benefit you when job hunting in the future. College students can use social-networking sites to develop relationships with professionals that may assist them in finding jobs after graduation.
Employers: Start Building Communities
The ability to get in touch with the right person at the right time is important to employers as well as job seekers. Online communities—people with like interests, demographics, and backgrounds—are a recruiter's dream. The ability to target an employment opportunity and tailor the message to a specific demographic is very powerful.
Targeted messaging and searching are only the beginning, however; employers need to start building their own online social networks for the hard-to-find talent they want to attract to the company. For example, by building a networking site for accountants, a company in this field could become privy to relevant information and potentially become an industry leader. Having a ready pool of specialized talent interacting regularly with the company is the electronic equivalent of employee referrals. As new positions open, the exclusive pool of talent is easily accessible, profiled, knowledgeable about the company, and probably interested in discussing employment opportunities.
Although building a social-networking site may not be for every company, simply using existing networking sites can offer much. Employers should look at online profiles much the way they view résumés—considering work experience and duration, education, group memberships, location, and so forth. However, online profiles can provide more information to determine industry expertise or qualifications for the position, such as blogs, posts on discussion boards, and various communications with other members of industry networks.
Don't Throw Out the Rolodex
Job seekers and future job seekers: Get online and get connected. MySpace might not be the right place to build your professional profile and relationships, but there is a social-networking site that's right for you.
Employers, your recruiters should be networking online and you should evaluate your own social presence. Job boards are not going to disappear overnight, but recruitment is moving rapidly toward social networking. It has always been about who you know; now you can know a lot more people.

Read this article to learn about Factoring. After reading this article to learn about: 1. Genesis of Factoring 2. Nature of Factoring 3. Functions 4. Modus Operandi.
Genesis of Factoring:
With growing industrialisation and consequential growth in the volume of industrial production and sales, timely collection and efficient management of receivables has assumed importance. In the buyer's market of today, it seems to go without observing that one should demand credit on one's purchases and give credit on sales.
The system feeding on itself is self-perpetuating. Since sales always exceed purchases during a given period, a larger amount of credit is given than taken and if collections are delayed, liquidity of the firm is badly affected. The problem becomes more serious for smaller enterprises due to their relatively weak financial position and limited access to capital market.
While commercial banks do finance the receivables, such finance is with recourse to the supplier who bears the risk of default by the debtor. Further, the bank's credit support to the supplier is for a limited or predetermined period and on the expiry of the said period, if the dues are not realised, it generally calls upon the supplier/borrower to repay the finance.
Thus, the bank finance is always with recourse to the seller.
Furthermore, banks do provide collection services in respect of bills purchased/discounted or not. But they do not undertake collection of book debts of their customers. In view of the above, the basic problem faced by sellers is the growing pressure on their working capital resources on account of their inability to obtain timely payment for their credit sales.
While for sales on open client for the period the credit is normally expected to be outstanding, often no interest is realised for the period the payments are delayed.
Due to growing competition sellers hardly insist on payment of overdue interest and hence frequently suffer erosion in profit margin and working capital deficits. Delayed payment spanning up to 6 months or more is fairly widespread.
Another problem facing the suppliers is collection of information on creditworthiness and reliability of buyers in far off places. While banks could be approached for the purpose, the information so available is not adequate for the supplier to know precisely about the operational financial and market status of the buyer to decide upon credit terms which may be offered.
This may force them to follow cautious approach which is likely to affect adversely the sales. Because of the above factors, factoring as a source of business finance is becoming popular the world over.
Nature of Factoring:
Factoring is a method by which a businessman can obtain cash for invoices he sends to his customers in respect of supply of goods and services to them. Factoring is also termed as 'Invoice discounting'. Factoring involves the sale of receivables to a financial institution such as an old line factor—a commercial financial company or one of a few commercial banks.
The factor purchases accounts which are acceptable to him generally without resource; if the customer does not pay, the factor takes the loss. The client no longer carries factored receivable on his balance sheet, in effect, having converted them into cash. Firms owing the account receivable to client firms are notified that the account has been sold to the factor and are asked to remit directly to the factor.
It is noteworthy that the factor seldom agrees to buy all of the accounts receivable of a client firm; instead, he retains the right to screen the account and selects those acceptable to him. The client firm can continue to sell to customers whose accounts are unacceptable to the factor, but it must carry them itself and assume all risks on them.
Factoring involves rendering of services varying from the bill discounting facilities offered by commercial banks to a total take-over of administration of the sales ledger and credit control functions, from credit approval to collecting cash, credit control functions, from credit approval to collecting cash, credit insurance and provision of finance. Factoring arrangement is normally continuous.
As new receivables arise, they are regularly sold to the factor. Under the typical factoring arrangement, the client maintains a running account with the factor. As receivables are sold to the factor, the proceeds are put at the client's disposal in this account.
Often, clients are given the privilege of overdrawing their account with the factor, or in effect, of borrowing on an unsecured basis, in addition to drawing against the proceeds of the factored accounts also, interest is normally credited by the factor on funds left with him.
Functions of Factor:
A factor performs a number of functions for his client.
These functions are:
1. Maintenance of Sales Ledger:
A factor maintains sales ledger for his client firm. An invoice is sent by the client to the customer, a copy of which is marked to the factor. The client need not maintain individual sales ledgers for his customers.
On the basis of the sales ledger, the factor reports to the client about the current status of his receivables, as also receipt of payments from the customers and as part of a package, may generate other useful information. With the help of these reports, the client firm can review its credit and collection policies more effectively.
2. Collection of Accounts Receivables:
Under factoring arrangement, a factor undertakes the responsibility of collecting the receivables for his client. Thus, the client firm is relieved of the rigours of collecting debts and is thereby enabled to concentrate on improving the purchase, production, marketing and other managerial aspects of the business.
With the help of trained manpower backed by infrastructural facilities a factor systematically undertakes follow up measure and makes timely demand in the debtors to pay amounts. Normally, debtors are more responsive to demands or reminders from a factor as they would not like to go down in the esteem of credit institution as a factor.
3. Credit Control and Credit Protection:
Another useful service rendered by a factor is credit control and protection. As a factor maintains extensive information records (generally computerized) about the financial standing and credit rating of individual customers and their track record of payments, he is able to advise its client on whether to extend credit to a buyer or not and if it is to be extended the amount of the credit and the period there-for.
Further, the factor establishes credit limits for individual customers indicating the extent to which he is prepared to accept the client's receivables on such customers without recourse to the client. This specialised service of a factor assists clients to handle a far greater volume of business with confidence than would have been possible otherwise.
In addition, factor provides credit protection to his client by purchasing without recourse to him every debt of approved customers (within the stipulated credit limit) and assumes the risk of default in payment by customers only in case of customers' financial inability to pay.
4. Advisory Functions:
At times, factors render certain advisory services to their clients. Thus, as a credit specialist a factor undertakes comprehensive studies of economic conditions and trends and thus is in a position to advise its clients of impending developments in their respective industries.
Many factors employ individuals with extensive manufacturing experience who can even advise on work load analysis, machinery replacement programmes and other technical aspects of a client's business.
Factors also help their clients in choosing suitable sales agents/seasoned personnel because of their close relationship with various individuals and non-factored organizations.
Thus, as a financial system combining all the related services, factoring offers a distinct solution to the problems posed by working capital tied in trade debts.
Types of Factoring:
Over a period of time, the factor world-over has devised different types of factoring services to suit the requirements of their clients.
On the basis of the nature of the services, factoring may be as:
1. Full Factoring
2. Recourse Factoring
3. Maturity Factoring
4. Advance Factoring
5. Undisclosed Factoring
6. Invoice discounting
7. Buyer-based Factoring
9. Bill-discounting.
8. Seller-based Factoring
1. Full Factoring:
Under full factoring arrangement, a factor renders services of collection of receivables and maintains sales ledgers, credit control and credit protection. On the basis of credit worthiness of the firm, a monetary limit is fixed up to which trade credit provided by the client will be taken over by the factor without recourse to the client.
The liability of the factor is limited only to the defaults arising out of customer's financial inability to pay. If the payment is withheld for reasons of dispute regarding inherent defect in goods, quality, counter claim, etc. recourse will be available to the factor against the client.
2. Recourse Factoring:
In this type of factoring, the factor does not provide any protection to the client against a customer's failure to pay debts. It may, therefore, not be necessary for the factor to either approve the customer or fix a credit limit. If the customer does not pay the invoice on maturity for any reason, the factor is entitled to recover from the client the amount paid in advance.
3. Maturity Factoring:
This type of factoring involves no financing abinitio and hence no drawing limit is made available to the client. But the factor administers the client's sales ledger and renders debt collection services. The amount of each invoice is made over the client at the end of the credit period or on an agreed maturity date, less the factor's charges.
The maturity date is decided upon at the commencement of the agreement by reference to the average- time taken by the client to collect a debt. The maturity date bears no relation to the date on which the receivable is actually due for payment as it is an 'estimated date of collection.'
Such factoring could be with or without recourse. If it is without recourse, the amount will be made over to the client regardless of whether the factor has been able to collect the invoice or not. If the debtor becomes insolvent, on proof of insolvency, payment will be made to the client even before maturity.
In recourse factoring, the factor will either pay the client on collection of invoice or on maturity date with recourse later on.
4. Advance Factoring:
In this kind of factoring, factor is prepared to pay for debts in advance of receiving the payment due from the customers. This is only a prepayment and not an advance. A drawing limit is made available to the client as soon as the invoice is accounted for.
5. Undisclosed Factoring:
Unlike all other types of factoring, in undisclosed factoring customers are not informed about the arrangements between the factor and the client. The factor maintains the sales ledger on the basis of the copy of the invoice. He provides the client with either debt default cover or finance or both, as desired. Debt collection is done by the client who makes over payment of each invoice to the factor.
The factor keeps a check on its risk by receiving from the client an age-wise analysis of debts at regular intervals. The types of services which may be offered under an undisclosed arrangement are very flexible. This may be on non-recourse basis and/or seasonal and/or selective basis.
6. Invoice Discounting:
Under this arrangement, the factor buys all or selected invoices of its client at a discount. The factor does not maintain sales ledger for his client nor undertakes debt collection function. He only provides finance to his client.
7. Buyer-Based Factoring:
Buyer-based factoring involves factoring of all the buyer's payables. Thus, the factor would maintain a list of 'approved buyers' and any claims on such buyers (by any seller) would be factored without recourse to the seller.
8. Seller-Based Factoring:
In this type of factoring, the factor takes over the credit function of the seller entirely. After invoicing his customer (who should be previously cleared by the factor), the seller submits a copy of the invoice, the delivery challan, the buy-sell contract and related papers like quality stipulations and text certificate to the factor who takes over the remaining operations like reminding the buyer for payment, maintaining his account and collecting the amount.
The seller closes his transaction after assigning the debt to the factor, by treating the transaction as a cash sale. In such a case, the factor is also able to supply additional information to the management, viz., approved, unapproved and disputed claims outstanding, sales analysis by area, by salesman, by products, etc., excise and sales tax payments and the like.
Modus Operandi of Factoring:
Where a firm has decided to factor its receivables, it submits particulars such as list of customers, amount of the order, terms of sales, etc. to the factor before dispatching any merchandise to its customers. The factor scrutinizes each customer's account of the client firm to make a decision whether to "accept" or "reject" the order.
A decision may also be taken to 'limit' purchases on account of a single 'buyer'. The factor returns to the client the list submitted with these orders. The client is free to supply to a customer, who has been rejected by the factor at his own risk.
After the goods are despatched, the client firm prepares an assignment schedule and attaches a copy of invoice and delivery challan. In the assignment schedule, complete details about the sale, such as the customer's name, address, terms of sale, due dates and amounts of invoices are recorded.
The invoices are stamped before being sent to the buyer directing him to make the payment to the factor. Sufficient copies of each instrument are made out in advance so that all the parties involved have records.
The factor scrutinizes the assignment schedule to segregate 'approved' and 'unapproved' buyers. The client company's account is then credited with the entire amount of the invoice less commission in the case of 'approved' buyers and 90% of the invoice less commission, for 'unapproved' buyers.
The factor prepares an 'accounts current' at the end of the month to reveal the exact financial standing, the client has with him. The interest charges and commissions are also recorded therein.

To me, there is little more satisfying than spotting a sad old piece of vintage wooden furniture sitting forlornly in a charity or junk shop, once loved and used but now no longer needed, and not at all expensive, and giving it a whole new lease of life with a coat of paint!
I've been painting furniture for over 30 years now, first with whatever I had to hand, learning as I made mistakes along the way, then trying satinwood and eggshell paints, craft paints and emulsion paints and, more recently, the wonderful chalk based paints that are on the market that require no preparation, especially my all time favourite Annie Sloan Chalk Paints!
( Please note that this post is entirely my own writing and opinions and I am not being paid by or otherwise benefiting from any company whose products I mention in this post.)
My popular blog post on Hints on Painting Furniture was written a few years ago, so here I show a few more of the pieces of furniture that I have given new life to more recently, and which are now loved and used in my own home or are for sale in my shop.
This useful little table with shelf was bought from a charity shop. It's probably not that old but the top was damaged and it was an old fashioned dark stained wood, crying out to be painted!
I gave it a clean, then one coat of chalk paint in a soft grey colour. I then gently distressed it and waxed it using a clear wax. Once dry it was buffed to give a soft shine.
This pretty oak wheelback chair was a bit wobbly and stained but was a beautiful shape. Once glued and cleaned I mixed up my own colour paint using a few shades of chalk paint until I got a pale duck egg blue colour.
One coat of paint, a bit of sanding to distress, and a good wax and buff and it was transformed
More to follow!

News: Habitus Denai Alam: A Community to Call Your Own
What makes a serviced residence stand out? While most developments offer all the basic essentials, a truly standout property takes it a step further by carefully considering how these essentials fit into the building's living spaces.
This philosophy was at the heart of Newfields Land's approach to developing Habitus, the first high-rise concept development in Denai Alam!
Offering residences fashioned as SOVOs (Small Office Virtual Office), Habitus is aimed at the up-and-coming crowd of young (and young-at-heart!) entrepreneurs.
It's also targeted at the movers-and-shakers who are always on the look out for opportunities and thrive on community networks.
Hence, not wanting to settle for the standard set-up of common areas scarcely used by residents, Newfields Land envisioned the common spaces of Habitus to be truly communal, in the spirit of collaboration and community-building.
A chance meeting with POW Ideas revealed that Newfields and this Malaysian design house shared similar ideas and philosophy towards space.
POW Ideas are the creative minds behind some of the most refreshing spaces in Kuala Lumpur, including The Swimming Club at KL Journal Hotel, Urban Retreat Spas and Proof Restaurants.
A Pioneer in Co-Working and Co-Living
With their solid portfolio, the designers at POW Ideas were given free rein on the design elements of the common areas of Habitus.
As Habitus is first and foremost a residential development, the challenge was to meld together the concept of co-working with the comforts of home.
SOVOs, by definition, break down the traditional boundaries between working and living spaces in the home. Hence, using the SOVO concept as a design anchor, the designers at POW Ideas explored ways to extend this concept to the common areas of Habitus.
They drew inspiration from innovative co-working spaces around the world, and also the more recent design revolution of co-living.
Co-living is indeed inspired by the co-working concept, and industry insiders have tagged it as the future of living spaces. Purpose-built co-living residences are currently taking property markets by storm in cities like New York City, Tokyo, and even Mumbai.
With all the necessary architectural elements, Habitus proved to be a perfect vessel to introduce the co-living concept to the Malaysian property scene.
Social Hotspots
Reconceptualising common areas as "social hotspots", POW Ideas focused on transforming two essential features of condominium living: the reading room and the lounge area.
Commonly styled in many developments as a mini-library with a few scattered tables and chairs, reading rooms tend to be underutilised, with out-of-date magazines languishing on dusty shelves.
In Habitus, this space has been reimagined to serve the dual purpose of a recreational reading lounge and a co-working space.
Whether you just need to unwind or start your mental gears running, a tasteful and inviting library area featuring curated books and periodicals will put you in the right frame of mind.
Mood-lighted corridors branch out to smaller study cubicles rooms suitable for individual endeavours and larger rooms for working in teams or holding meetings.
This fluid setting creates an atmosphere ripe for networking and collaboration, while quirky but tasteful interior design elements encourage creative thinking.
And with the whole area equipped with state-of-the art multimedia facilities, residents no longer have to travel to work in other co-working spaces elsewhere.
The second space receiving the POW Ideas treatment, is the lounge area. This is where the concept of co-living truly takes shape. At Habitus, this space comes to life as a sky dining lounge and kitchen.
The Habitus sky lounge is designed for the modern working individual or those with small families who may not have the time and interest to cook and clean on a daily basis.
A communal kitchen fully equipped with modern kitchen appliances and stylish dining sets takes away the need for one to maintain a full-fledged kitchen and dining within their SOVO unit.
Its position on the upper floor affords unencumbered 360-degree views of the surrounding Denai Alam and City of Elmina areas.
This makes it perfect as a backdrop for the occasional forays into the kitchen, to entertain clients, or to play chef and host to one's neighbours.
Understanding that food is at the heart of community, POW Ideas designed the interiors of the sky lounge around comforts-of-home elements to invoke feelings of nostalgia and belonging.
These unique social hotpots within Habitus are envisioned to become activated spaces designed for socialisation, a far cry from lonely corridors and quiet foyers of regular developments.
A Secure Community
A truly effective co-working space needs to be easily accessible by clients and contacts outside the community. However, a residential building must never take security lightly.
Taking this to heart, Newfields Land has partnered up with i-Neighbour to design an app for residents where all security, visitor, and residential management features are easily accessible and operational in one convenient place – the smartphone!
Residents who wish to secure parts of the co-working and co-living spaces for private use will be able to easily do so via the app's facility booking option.
To facilitate the quick and secure movement of visitors, the i-Comm Kiosk at the lobby easily connects residents with their guests.
The Kiosk's video intercom service allows residents to view and speak to their guests in real time, and approve entry via the lobby door. Pre-registered guests can scan their QR Code at the Kiosk for seamless access.
This innovative approach to security ensures Habitus residents the peace of mind to work and live as a flourishing and secure community.
Your Space To Own, Your Community To Grow
Habitus is a low density, high rise freehold serviced residence developed by Newfields Land, a subsidiary of the renowned Newfields Group. It offers units ranging from studios (451 sq ft) to three-bedroom apartments (998 sq ft).
Other facilities include an infinity pool with jacuzzi, hanging pods and poolside gazebos, kid's pool and playground, fitness centre and reflexology path, kindergarten, a fully equipped kitchen on the roof top, and a multifunction hall.
Habitus is located close by to recreational facilities, medical centres, shopping malls, public transport, and both private and public schools.
It easily connects to the GCE, NKVE, LATAR, PLUS, and soon-to-be completed DASH highways, giving it excellent and quick connectivity to Subang Airport, MRT Station (Line 1 & 2), KTM Station, Damansara, and KL City.
Habitus will be ready for occupancy in 2023.

Our annual event The Shakespeare Challenge is coming up, and we are getting excited! Registration has been open for about a month now and will remain open until Dec 18 2015, so time is starting to run out! We think Shakespeare is great, but did you know that performance can actually improve your performance in the office? Here are 5 easy acting exercises based off of the Alexander Technique that you can do daily at work to feel great!
1. Vocal Clarity & Power – Think of your voice as a hood that rises over your head from the nape of your neck, or as rising up from the top of your head. Just this simple shift in thought will open your voice up and give you vocal clarity and power! Keep this in mind and you'll find it easier to project to the back of the conference room during your next presentation.
2. Breathing – This one is a big one, though it's not something we usually have to actively think about. Try focusing in on your exhale, letting it extend longer than your inhale. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, and then take 8 seconds to exhale. This simple exercise will lengthen and increase the efficiency of your breaths! Having more control over your breath will help you stay calm when stressed, and will make speaking for long periods of time a little easier on your body.
3. Posture – The way you carry yourself can affect the way that others perceive and react to you. If you're constantly hunching your shoulders you physically appear smaller, and may send the message "I don't deserve to take up as much space as my colleagues." Try broadening your shoulders and chest, or elongating your neck and spine—you'll project more confidence, and others will pick up on it.
4. Ease of Movement – Actors are rarely standing still, so being able to move freely is important, especially during a performance, but you can take this mentality with you to the office too. Take 5-10 minutes out of your workday to stretch and move your body! Roll your neck and shoulders, bend forward and try to touch your nose to your knees, or stretch out those wrists and forearms! These exercises are easy to do at your desk and will help loosen up any stiff muscles.
5. Feeling Grounded – This means putting both feet on the ground, trying feel each toe connecting with the floor, and bending your knees slightly. You'll find your balance, posture, and breathing will improve with this power-stance, and your coworkers will perceive you as more confident.

Skeleton crew
Hey, Guys.
Well. This sucks.
I'm sure many of you are wondering just what in the crap is going on with this website lately.
The staff lost access to the file server some time ago - making us unable to enable new features, but on the plus side we still had access to the database, which allowed us to fix errors, refresh images, return items, etc. So we could maintain the site, but the parent company had stripped us of our ability to improve it. We assumed at that time we would shortly hear from a coder, through whom we would be able to request site work. No such coder surfaced.
At least we still had Database access, right?
So, then we lost database access. Now we can't access most of the site's content - notably, we cannot manually reset dog images, move items, set up halloween or really anything else fun or useful. We can maintain the community and access admin tools that were set up waaaay back in 2009, but they are limited.
For the last few months I've also been unable to access even those because I didn't have access to a computer, and the tools aren't really mobile compatible.
The good news is, I have my computer back now and it's largely functional, plus I'm not going to be traveling quite as much anymore (I have been a little bit homeless since the company I was working for went out of business at the end of last year, sleeping at whichever friend/relative's house had spare room) so I have also not been a reliable admin, and, for that, I do apologize. This site is on my mind constantly, and having my hands tied when it comes to fixing it (or making it better) is extremely frustrating.
I have again made an attempt to contact the parent company so that we may regain use of the tools we need to make the site go, and I hope that will resolve in our being restored full functional access.
In the meantime, our staff team has sadly flagged in size as their ability to assist our users has waned. We are down to a few mods and helpers and 2 admins - myself and Ehm. Ehm is, of course, wonderful and does the very best a person can to keep us going in these irritating circumstances.
I want to thank you guys for sticking with us, and I really, really, REALLY hope to have good news soon. Your continued dedication given our flaming dumpster fire of a situation will not be forgotten when we finally have something to reward it with.

The Washington Post
The presidential campaign has confirmed that, under the guise of "campaign finance reform," Congress and the Supreme Court have repealed large parts of the First Amendment. They have simply discarded what were once considered constitutional rights of free speech and political association. It is not that these rights have vanished. But they are no longer constitutional guarantees. They're governed by limits and qualifications imposed by Congress, the courts, state legislatures, regulatory agencies -- and lawyers' interpretations of all of the above.
We have entered an era of constitutional censorship. Hardly anyone wants to admit this -- the legalized demolition of the First Amendment would seem shocking -- and so hardly anyone does. The evidence, though, abounds. The latest is the controversy over the anti-Kerry ads by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and parallel anti-Bush ads by Democratic "527" groups such as MoveOn.org. Let's assume (for argument's sake) that everything in these ads is untrue. Still, the United States' political tradition is that voters judge the truthfulness and relevance of campaign arguments. We haven't wanted our political speech filtered.
Now there's another possibility. The government may screen what voters see and hear. The Kerry campaign has asked the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to ban the Swift Boat ads; the Bush campaign similarly wants the FEC to suppress the pro-Democrat 527 groups. We've arrived at this juncture because it's logically impossible both to honor the First Amendment and to regulate campaign finance effectively. We can do one or the other -- but not both. Unfortunately, Congress and the Supreme Court won't admit the choice. The result is the worst of both worlds. We gut the First Amendment and don't effectively regulate campaign finance.
The First Amendment says that Congress "shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or . . . the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government" (that's "political association''). The campaign finance laws, the latest being McCain-Feingold, blatantly violate these prohibitions. The Supreme Court has tried to evade the contradiction. It has allowed limits on federal campaign contributions. It justifies the limits as preventing "corruption" or "the appearance of corruption." But the court has rejected limits on overall campaign spending by candidates, parties or groups. Limiting spending, the court says, would violate free speech. Spending enables candidates to reach voters through TV and other media.
Unfortunately, this artful distinction doesn't work. If groups can spend any amount on campaigns, their spending can easily become unlimited contributions. All they need to do is ask the campaign how their money ought to be spent -- on what TV ads, for example. To prevent this, the FEC imposes restrictions on "coordination" between candidates, parties and groups making "independent expenditures." John Kerry alleges that the Swift Boat Veterans and the Bush campaign "coordinated" illegally. Republicans see similar ties between Kerry and Democratic 527s.
But "coordination" is really "speech" and "political association." It's talking and planning among people who want to elect or defeat the same candidates. There's an indestructible inconsistency between the language of the First Amendment and campaign finance laws. Why shouldn't veterans coordinate with Bush? Why shouldn't Democratic 527s coordinate with Kerry? The Supreme Court upholds the campaign finance laws simply by ignoring the First Amendment's language.
All the legal twisting has (so far) produced mostly self-censorship. Politicians try to comply with the law's letter and evade its spirit. To maximize its support for Kerry, the Democratic National Committee has set up a separate "independent expenditures" unit. The unit's top officials aren't supposed to talk politics with the Kerry campaign or other DNC officials. In a recent Newsweek interview, DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe was asked about the unit's ads. Here's his abbreviated (for space) response:
McAuliffe: Legally, I cannot have that conversation. . . . I cannot signal to the Kerry campaign what type of ads we're doing, how much money we're spending, because that would be deemed coordination. . . .
Q: You can't tell him anything about what the themes of your advertising will be?
A: No sir, absolutely not . . .
Q: Do these rules strike you as absurd?
A: Yes.
Of course they're absurd. A party and its candidates should talk about whatever they want. If the First Amendment doesn't cover that, what would it cover? It's also unrealistic to think -- regardless of legal precautions -- that "signaling" won't occur between support groups and candidates.
The media poorly describe what's happening. Campaign finance reform is a respectable cause. It's inconvenient to say that the First Amendment is being scalped. Few do. The New York Times recently ran a story on two campaign lawyers -- one Democratic, one Republican -- who bring cases before the FEC to bend "the complex rules to their clients' maximum benefit." The story barely hinted that, once candidates need lawyers and rulings to say what they can do, their constitutional protections have disappeared.
But the truth cannot remain forever obscured. Campaign finance laws must fail at their larger aim of improving public confidence in politics and government. They breed disrespect for law, the Constitution or both. If the laws are aggressively expanded and enforced -- with more limits on contributions, spending and "coordination" -- people will realize they're losing their rights of free speech and political association. But if the laws are laxly enforced, as they have been, they will inspire continuing evasions and harsh condemnations by "reformers." Public confidence suffers either way. Americans will ultimately have to choose between the Constitution and a mere law -- or watch both be damaged.

October was a relatively steady month on the dividend front. We purchased some UNA (100 shares, in two batches of 50 shares to profit from the steady drop in stock price) this month and got lots of free money. October yielded a very respectable €545 in dividends. This is a YOY return of about 298%. But as noted last months, this is mainly due to a large amount of cash that we reinvested over the last 16 months and not "organic" dividend growth. Albeit we are very curious to see what that is going to look like. Yield this year (to date), based on book value, is about 3.45%. With two more months to go, we should end up just over 4.1%.
We currently own a total of 43 stocks and our portfolio looks like this:
When you dump everything into a pie chart, based on the sectors the shares represent, you find the below overview:
We still have some work to be done, as we still need to purchase more stocks to shift the sector allocations, but that is a plan in development.

An attractive oasis in a very rugged wilderness area, Wupperthal is an ideal hiking, biking and off-road 4x4 route destination.
Wupperthal was co-established in 1830 by the grandfather of one of South Africa's greatest poets, C. Louis Leipoldt.
Wupperthal is situated about 75km from Clanwilliam in the remote Tra-Tra Valley, on the border of the Cederberg Wilderness Area along the Cape West Coast.
The beautifully preserved rugged terrain of Wupperthal and the Cederberg draws those who appreciate nature at its most pristine. The mountains and lake offer a natural arena for the adventurer to get stuck into canoeing, water-skiing; abseiling; river rafting, hiking and climbing.
In spring (August-September) the region is transformed into kaleidoscopic carpets as wild flowers burst into bloom following the winter rains.

Elephant Dry Gin - 50cl - 45% ABV
This product is sold out
Made in Germany by a trio of Africa-obsessed friends, Elephant Gin is an award-winning premium craft gin with a gorgeous charity heart beating beneath it.
Co-founders Henry Palmer and Robin and Tessa Gerlach were inspired, whilst adventuring through Africa, to create Elephant Gin after falling in love with the country's wildlife. They sought to create a product that not only tasted of Africa, but that would help conservation trusts. As such, 15% of all profits from this product go to Big Life Foundation and Space for Elephants, while 15% of profits from the minis go to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Basically, by buying this gin you're a hero. Well done.
Elephant Gin, made 600 bottles at a time, was created with a focus on artisanal production methods, and with a great deal of work put into the design side too, it's a product that looks as good as it tastes.
And it tastes good! Aromatic, dry pine swipes at the nose, with sweet florals and twangy herbal notes following swiftly behind. It's dangerously smooth and sippable for 45% ABV, too, so gentle was its distilling. With huge spice upfront and a dry, warming juniper in the middle, this is a well balanced gin that takes you on a real journey. Every sip tells you it was made with a G&T in mind, and while this is certainly great in many cocktails (the Bramble springs to mind above all others), it's definitely worth a first date with a tonic.
To serve: Indian tonic and an apple wedge. Apple is one of the 14 botanicals nestled into the bosom of this gin, and bringing it to the fore really helps to freshen up the palate.

When I was a ninth grader my class voted me "Most Likely to Succeed." Believe it or not, that silly vote done by a teacher has caused me a lot of reflection and even pressure. There is no doubt that I am driven and I want very much to succeed, but as I approach the big 4-0 in age, I must ask, "What really is success and how will I acheive it?"
For about three years I have worked extraordinarily hard to start and run Jus International with my brothers and partners. This month I was voted out of my executive position and from the board of Jus. I currently have no day-to-day responsibilities for the company I helped found. I must admit, I disagree with the decision made by my partners and I was temporarily devastated. I have had so many people ask me how this happened and how this was possible. I still search for answers. However, even though I had periods in the last three years that almost everything was sacrificed in my personal life to make Jus work, I can say that Jus alone does not define me and that I can succeed with our without Jus in my life.
At 37 I find myself in a unique position. I have been approached by many wonderful people and opportunities. I can confidently say that I will stay in network marketing. I love working with people, and I love watching people improve themselves. Network marketing allows me to be a part of people's lives and help them improve. I am not unlike many people in this new economy. I have skills and I have desires, now I must reinvent myself again to apply them to new opportunities. My path is still not completely charted so I am a bit anxious, but I am sure I can make the new path something special.
Last year I was so busy, I forgot to register my oldest son Parker for baseball. He loves playing and has done a fine job catching back up to his buddies. Parker told my wife that he has really wanted to be awarded the game ball by his coach. However, with a year off, he has struggled throughout the season to find his swing and strengthen his arm. Last week my 9 year old was awarded the game ball after he drove in two runs, got on base all three of his at-bats and as a pitcher he struck out three in one inning. I was so proud of him because he has worked so hard to get that ball and it paid off.
In 2008, I flew over 120,000 miles and I frequently used Skype video phone to say good night (or morning depending on where I was at) to my kids. In 2009, I have flown less than 10000 miles and currently have no job, but I watched my 9 year old achieve his goal of getting the game ball. Reinventing myself is not much different than Parker's goal of being awarded the game ball by his coach. I will take my dedication to another level and although 2009 has allowed me a new opportunity to improve and reinvent myself, it will also be a year that will help define my future. 2009 has been a great year, and will only get better.

Reiki healing Londonhas gained huge popularity among the people residing in London & the adjoining suburbs. Reiki is a very simple art which provides effective spiritual healing which is done by the hands. Hands play the main role in reiki which is used to treat people with chronic diseases when other forms of medication have completely failed to cure the patient suffering from acute diseases. Reiki uses the positive energy from the surrounding & is given to the ill person through the hands which receives the positive energy from the person who is performing the healing process of reiki. That is why the intention for curing the person is required for the positive energy to flow from the body of the healer to the body of the healed. It is believe that the imbalance of cosmic energy in the body give rise to all kinds of diseases.
Reiki healing helps to rejuvenate the body so that it can feel peace, vitality, joy & a sense of well-being. It helps to cure rater heal chronic diseases like kidney & liver problems, migraine, depression, insomnia, memory laps, lack of concentration, cancer, skin disease, stroke, blood pressure, paralysis, ulcer, spondylitis, diabetes, etc. Reiki is also used in healing fractures, cuts, burns, post-surgical recovery, relief from stress & tension, sexual impotence & inadequacies, posture problems & various other problems found in human body.
Reiki healing London is making reiki a popular healing process in London. People are coming forward to try this treatment which deals with the healing of mind & body. Some of the centers which are doing commendable job in London are mentioned below:
- Indian head massage & reiki healing

June 22, 2017 LinkedIn: link opens in a new window Facebook: link opens in a new window Twitter: link opens in a new window We spent time with Gap Inc. employees from the company's LGBTQ-focused business resource group, GEAR (Gay Employees, Allies + Resources), who shared the unique ways they wear their pride. Join us as we celebrate LGBTQ equality — this month and all year. Here's one story. What's yours? There are some people that seem to walk with a spring in their step and always face the world with a smile. With Alosha Shkolnik, Associate Art Director at Old Navy that spring is more like a full-blown groove and that smile is usually accompanied with a good laugh. "Wearing your pride is about standing out by being yourself. It's the way you carry yourself, the way you carry your body, the way you move through space." In the studio with us, he's constantly moving. He's relaxed and witty. As he peppers his jacket with polka dots, he mentions taking inspiration from Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who famously paints the world in pop-art polka dots, turning everyday spaces and structures into expressive spectacles. And Alosha approaches each day with that same kind of wonder and playfulness. "I see the world through kind of a multi-colored lens. Everything is dashed with a little bit of magic and curiosity. I love to see the humor in the world wherever I can." But it isn't all about the laughs. The act of self-expression for Alosha is something that carries weight behind it. It's about "being yourself in the most ultimate way," he says. This month, Gap Inc. employees will participate in local Pride events around the country, including in Albuquerque, Chicago, New York, Orlando, Sacramento, San Francisco, Vancouver and Washington D.C. And the importance Gap Inc.'s culture of equality and celebration of the individual is not lost on Alosha. "I'm surrounded by people [who] not only celebrate who I am, but offer their own contributions of self-expression, individuality and creativity to the world," he says. "It's something I wish everyone could feel. It's essential... I think about that every day." It's easy to see that Alosha's confidence comes from an energy within. He's kinetic. But it's his openness — his invitation to those around him to move, to express, to engage in their own way — that is most contagious. "The best part about wearing your pride is that there's no wrong way to do it. There is an entire rainbow of possibilities." #WearYourPride: See how other Gap Inc. employees are celebrating their pride in 2017.
